WILLIS L. GROVE, APPELLANT,v.VICTOR A. RIZZOLO
Seitz, Aldisert and Rosenn, Circuit Judges.
Author: Per Curiam
Opinion OF THE COURT
Plaintiff appeals the district court's dismissal of his civil rights complaint on the ground that defendant, a former county judge, was protected by the doctrine of judicial immunity.
Plaintiff's complaint alleges that, while held in custody awaiting trial in the state court, he sent defendant a document entitled "Petition for Redress of Grievances" which complained of unjust and unfair treatment by the Warden; that defendant refused to hear plaintiff or order his petition filed; and that instead defendant gave the petition to the Chief Probation Officer of the County in which he was being held. Plaintiff contends that while the defendant was admittedly a judge at the time of the alleged violation, the district court erred in holding that his acts were covered by the judicial immunity defense.
The allegations of the complaint do not negative the fair inference that the defendant acted on the belief that plaintiff was not seeking to commence a legal action but, rather, desired an investigation of the conditions under which he was being held. In these circumstances, we do not view the judge's action in referring the petition to a probation officer as being beyond the ambit of the judicial immunity doctrine.
The judgment of the district court will be affirmed.

Since early October a new ensemble project I've been pleased to be part of has been evolving from it's initial core duo that began from a friendship with saxophonist/fretless guitarist/nykleharpist Peter Thorn of Sweden, became a trio with another friend and fellow musician of several years, electronic drummer Ray Istorico of Florida and recently arrived to what appears to be it's full evolution now as quartet with another friend and fellow artist, member of the eclectic experimental music community Loopers-Delight, guitarist/electonicist Jeff Duke also of Florida, and is now officially dubbed, 'Dig It Signal'.
This virtual 'band' now with 4 web based live performances to it's name connects from individual locales thousands of miles apart and interacts like we were in the same room through a miraculous piece of audio streaming software NinJam. Our combined audio output then fed to the broadcast streaming channels, uStream.tv and more recently livestream.com, combined with video imagery ranging from the photo/video manipulations of Emile Tobenfeld to the recent cast where 'Dig It Signal' performed to the footage of the 1922 silent Brian Stoker adaptation of Dracula, Nosferatu. This cast our strongest yet can be experienced at http://vimeo.com/8186752.

A friend of mine asked if I was a Southern writer.
I grew up in the South and I try to write, so I almost said yes. I hesitated and, in my hesitation, recognized that the question was not rhetorical. (See - Southern writers do too know what "rhetorical" means.) Anyway, I said I'd get back to him after I thought about it for a while. After some consideration, I'm not so sure if I'm a Southern writer or not.
I think that Southern writers are supposed to be distinguished from other writers by their attention to personal relationships, their descriptions of personal hygiene and bodily functions, and their poor spelling. I have the pore speling down pat, but am a little squeamish on the other matters.
To be perfectly honest, I never really understood the entire sub-set of the "Southern Writer." I think that a lot of the mystique surrounding the Southern Writer involves the thought that if we make a cult out of looking for something then it must both exist and be important. I'm not sure either is true.
I was never sure if the cult of the Southern Writer was established to separate them from the rest of the writing community for their own good, or for the good of the rest of the writing community. Writing is writing. It's either good or bad. I never understood why it should be also north and South.
Charles Frasier, the author of Cold Mountain, is never described as the author of a damn good book. He is always described as the North Carolina author of a damn good book. It's almost as though the reviewer is surprised that someone from the Tar Heel state could write a damn good book. What about Tom Wolfe and.... and.... oh hell, never mind.
Surprise and over-achievement must, therefore, be elements of the Southern Writer.
Faulkner wrote chapter-length sentences and paragraphs about people you would never want to know, doing things that would get most of us arrested ( or at least talked about in church on Sunday.) He also used language in a way that was often difficult to understand. I think he spelled most of the words correctly but, since few people understood them in his context, it didn't matter. Using some of those words in his convoluted sentence structure was almost the same as misspelling them.
Faulkner's language made it damn near impossible for the people he was writing about to read or understand what he had said about them. It was like James Joyce's "Ulysses." Many a college student started that book looking for the parts that got it banned and ended-up (like I did after most of my dates in high school) alone, frustrated, and confused.
Since most of the things Faulkner was saying were not complimentary, using almost another whole language to describe them strikes me as cowardice. But, since Faulkner is the definitive Southern writer, making fun of your neighbors behind their backs to their faces must also be an element of Southern writing.
Maybe it's subject matter. A lot of Southern writers seem to deal not only with the relationships between family members, but the troubled relationship between the races. That can't be it. Seriously, Harper Lee could have set To Kill A Mockingbird in the racially divided neighborhoods of say...South Boston. God knows they have more than enough Boo Radleys. It would work, and the racism would translate well into the northern inner city. You expect it in Meridian, Mississippi so stereotypes must be an important part of Southern writing.
The kindly old judge assigning the case to Atticus Finch and Atticus Finch taking it, twisted the stereotype. That too must be a part of Southern writing.
I can read and understand Lewis Grizzard, Roy Blount and Dave Berry. They are Southern writers and poke gentle, and at times not so gentle, fun at their neighbors in words we can all understand. They do it to their faces, but escape retribution by peppering the writings with stories of hunting dogs and references to Spam, boogers and bodily functions. I don't know if this is Southern writing or not but, if it is, I have a problem — I don't know any good hunting-dog, alcohol-tinged, cousin-abusing, booger stories.
OK, there is the one about my uncle and the the frozen piece of boar raccoon anatomy and the jar of white lightening. But that kind of story can't be all that separates a Southern writer from the rest of the world. Maybe it's having an uncle like that and having that story floating around in your mind that makes the difference.
Anyway, I spent a good part of my adult life self-exiled from the South. After graduation from the definitive Southern school, the army sent me away and kept me away for a long time. Let's see, a white, Southern boy, Citadel graduate going into the army — no stereotypical behavior there.
Even after I left the army I remained west of the Mississippi because I liked the west. I didn't get the claustrophobic feel of trees, kudzu, family, televangalists and silly politicians closing in on top of me that I got in the low country of South Carolina. Out west there was no swamp-soaked, kudzu-camouflaged low country, so I could always see any money-borrowing second cousin or tounge-talking, snake-handling preacher coming.
I returned to the South for a while and, while my ability to spell had not improved, my ability to maintain a good, old fashioned, gunfire-exchanging, last-will-and-testament changing, Southern relationship had gone the way of the $.25 bottled coke. I'm not sure if you can have just the bad spelling without relationship problems and still call yourself a Southern writer.
Anyway, I guess I'll have to work on the relationship part.
Someone once asked how porcupines made wild, sweaty, porcupine love and the answer, of course was: carefully, very carefully. I'm not sure if "carefully" is how true Southerners maintain all family relationships, but that is how my family does it and they're the only relations I have to talk about.

Wracked with grief, the sorceress threw her hands out in front of her, desperately shrieking the incantation to save both her life and that of her brother. To her amazement, a powerful blast of magic erupted from her open palms–magic the world had never seen before.
In my last post, From Apprentice to Master, part I, I talked about the different ways that average people are made into heroes, and how that process has to be believable. Readers like having a hero they can connect to and believe is a real person, and that means keeping them grounded.
But to every rule there is an exception, and I think the exceptions to the believability rule are pretty awesome.
The heroes of Greek mythology are perfect examples of the exceptions I'm talking about. Consider Hercules. He slayed the Nemean lion, a beast whose hide was impervious to mortal weapons, by using his incredible strength to strangle it. If Hercules had obtained his super strength just from hours of long training, then technically anyone could have become as strong as him and slain the lion. Frankly, that wouldn't have been as impressive. The fact is: Hercules was just an above-average guy. No one could compare to him and the feats he performed.
A more modern example is Harry Potter, from the series by J.K. Rowling. Also known as "The Boy Who Lived", Harry is clearly extraordinary. He managed to survive the killing curse and, throughout the entire series, experienced a lot of moments where he was, plain and simple, just better than everyone else. He obtained his greatness from circumstances beyond his control, but the fact that it only could have happened to him puts him above all the other wizards in his own special way.
And what about the real-life racehorse, Secretariat? If he hadn't won The Belmont Stakes by 31 horse-lengths and set an incredible record that still exists today, then he wouldn't be so famous. People wouldn't have cared about him as much. He probably wouldn't have even gotten his movie made two years ago.
There's a reason why Hercules and Harry Potter and Secretariat are considered to be great heroes. People are inspired by tales that stretch the imagination and test the limits of convention. People like believability and the connection it can create, but sometimes stories about the exceptions are a lot more fun.
I think that, when turning a layman into a superman, you should try to do it in a believable way so that you make a bond with the reader and allow them to feel that the character is real. But I also think that, once you've made your character the hero he or she needs to be, you should give them the freedom to shine–to become just a little better than everyone else. Make the hero significant and the story will only get better.
When do you think is the best time to let a hero's inner greatness out? At what point does an exception become too overpowered or unbelievable to be enjoyable?
May you always find inspiration in the exceptional, and never settle for less than extraordinary.

Quantum dots may be key to turning windows into photovoltaics
But that also highlights solar's weakness: we have to install it after the infrastructure is in place, and that installation adds considerably to its cost. Now, some researchers have come up with some hardware that could allow photovoltaics to be incorporated into a basic building component: windows. The solar windows would filter out a small chunk of the solar spectrum and convert roughly a third of it to electricity.
As you're probably aware, photovoltaic hardware has to absorb light in order to work, and a typical silicon panel appears black. So, to put any of that hardware (and its supporting wiring) into a window that doesn't block the view is rather challenging. One option is to use materials that only capture a part of the solar spectrum, but these tend to leave the light that enters the building with a distinctive tint.
The new hardware takes a very different approach. The entire window is filled with a diffuse cloud of quantum dots that absorb almost all of the solar spectrum. As a result, the "glass" portion of things simply dims the light passing through the window slightly. (The quantum dots are actually embedded in a transparent polymer, but that could be embedded in or coat glass.) The end result is what optics people call a neutral density filter, something often used in photography. In fact, tests with the glass show that the light it transmits meets the highest standards for indoor lighting.
Of course, simply absorbing the light doesn't help generate electricity. And, in fact, the quantum dots aren't used to generate the electricity. Instead, the authors generated quantum dots made of copper, indium, and selenium, covered in a layer of zinc sulfide. (The authors note that there are no toxic metals involved here.) These dots absorb light across a broad band of spectrum, but re-emit it at a specific wavelength in the infrared. The polymer they're embedded in acts as a waveguide to take many of the photons to the thin edge of the glass.
And here's where things get interesting: the wavelength of infrared the quantum dots emit happens to be very efficiently absorbed by a silicon photovoltaic device. So, if you simply place these devices along the edges of the glass, they'll be fed a steady diet of photons.
The authors model the device's behavior and find that nearly half the infrared photons end up being fed the photovoltaic devices (equal amounts get converted to heat or escape the window entirely). It's notable that the devices are small, though (about 12cm squares)—larger panes would presumably allow even more photons to escape.
The authors tested a few of the devices, one that filtered out 20 percent of the sunlight and one that only captured 10 percent. The low-level filter sent about one percent of the incident light to the sides, while the darker one sent over three percent.
There will be losses in the conversion to electricity as well, so this isn't going to come close to competing with a dedicated panel on a sunny roof. Which is fine, because it's simply not meant to. Any visit to a major city will serve as a good reminder that we're regularly building giant walls of glass that currently reflect vast amounts of sunlight, blinding or baking (or both!) the city's inhabitants on a sunny day. If we could cheaply harvest a bit of that instead, we're ahead of the game.

Ever get really excited about something for a couple of days and then one day you look at it or think about it and say to yourself, "Ick! What was I thinking? How could I have not noticed that?"
This happens to me all of the time with a new hair style, an outfit, and very often it happens with something I've written. I've said before that I need to be removed from something I've written before I can revise and edit it.
Well, it happened again. I entered a flash fiction contest with a story I had not been far enough removed from. You may have read the blog post from yesterday where I invited everyone to go read it and vote for it if they liked it.
Then this morning I went and read the story again. I've actually read it a number of times. But it was only this morning that I noticed a big glairing flaw. I have my main character saying one thing and thinking another. While this can often happen in real life it can confuse readers if you don't explain something like that. And I didn't explain it…honestly I didn't even catch it until this morning.
*Note to self: Slow down, pay attention, and don't submit anything the day you write it.
Some people may be able to submit a story the day they've written it but I think I am not one of those people. I just wish I were.

Did you know there was not one but three different Saint Valentines? And yet none of the accounts of their lives really explain why romance is connected to this Saint Day.
One cute explanation is that Saint Valentine's Feast Day, February 14th, happens to be a day that birds choose their mate and thus it became customary for young lovers to chose their partner.
Or even further back the pagan Romans celebrated the feast for their Lupercas on the 15th and chose their partners, proposed marriage, or declared their love. When Rome became Christianized, the worship of the pagan gods stopped but the love making did not!
"...affection, love, and marriage are not the prerogative of a pagan cult only. There was but one apsect the celebration that had to be changed: its patronage. And so, in place of goddess Juno Februarta a Christian saint took over." The saint closest to this date was the priest and martyr Valentine.
Historically, then, Valentine's Day is an example of Christians redeeming the culture. And now in our day perhaps this needs to be done again. Though we no longer sacrifice to pagan gods, the day has become another example of materialism and self-focus. For many it is filled with loneliness and hurt. To redeem it once again, we can focus as families on the Divine Love and how that love spurred St. Valentine and other Christian martyrs to lose it all for that Love.
To find more information on the Saints Valentine:
The book to read with the kids, Saint Valentine by Robert Sabuda
How we'll celebrate:
I never really liked Valentine's Day until we had kids. It always seemed to be a big, commercial holiday that forced unrealistic expectations on people. But now I love finding ways to bring delight and happiness into our lives. For the past few years, I've woken early to make waffles with strawberry syrup and whipped cream before RJ went off to work. Then the kids and I read about Saint Valentine and make our own Valentines to send. I know that this means they won't arrive on time to our family and friends but since the kids are so young it makes more sense to do it altogether. Since this year Valentine's Day falls on our feast night, I will still make our special breakfast but I'll also make the heart cake my mom always made for us as kids too.
We will focus on the question--who is Love, how has Love changed us, how can we show Love in our home, our neighborhood, what are we willing to do for Love?
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

GENNADY 'GGG' Golovkin and Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez will battle for middleweight supremacy this weekend but it won't be the first time they've shared a ring.
The idyllic mountain setting of California's Big Bear Lake has become a second home to Kazakh-born powerhouse Golovkin. He's spent the better part of the last decade honing his craft there but one training camp in particular, from 2011, holds renewed significance ahead of Sunday's (AEST) fight in Las Vegas.
Alvarez was just 20 when he accepted an offer to spar with Golovkin, at a time when both men were little more than footnotes in black books of boxing aficionados.
WATCH GOLOVKIN vs ALVAREZ LIVE ON MAIN EVENT: SUBSCRIBE HERE
Their ascents to the top of the pugilistic tower now complete, a fresh element of intrigue surrounds what really happened behind closed doors between the two fighters six years ago.
One man has a better idea than most. Lamar Russ, at the time an undefeated middleweight prospect and Golovkin's lead sparring partner, saw much of what took place at the training camp.
His recollection of the initial sparring session bodes well for fans of unbeaten 35-year-old Golovkin.
"I saw Gennady cut the ring off and use his power and his weight to his advantage," Russ told foxsports.com.au.
"Gennady started landing power shots, hitting him on the shoulders and to the body and started breaking 'Canelo' down.
"I saw Gennady hit him with a hook and then he would back off of him, like he wasn't trying to hurt him but wanted to establish respect and his power.
"Golovkin hooked well to the body and the head and his overhand right is money.
"I think one of those three punches will get Canelo out of there if they land flush."
But, of course, sparring isn't fighting and Russ believes Sunday's fight is not a simple one to predict.
"One thing I can say about 'Canelo', he can box a lot better than Gennady Golovkin," Russ said.
"But the thing about it is, he can't punch anywhere near as strong.
"I think it's going to be an awesome fight. If 'Canelo' can hit and move and not get hit then he's winning."
Having knocked out 23 of his last 24 opponents, there's no denying the dynamite in Golovkin's fists.
And while it's difficult to know how hard both men went in sparring, Russ feels 'GGG' could also carry a mental advtange into Sunday's fight.
"(Canelo) does have a fear deep down in his heart but he's trying to overcome that fear right now," Russ said.
What makes this bout most intriguing, according to Russ, is the development of both men since 2011.
"I think Canelo has grown over the years, tremendously, even after taking a loss (a 2013 defeat to Floyd Mayweather)," he says.
"Golovkin has also grown tremendously but I've seen 'Canelo' grow a lot more than Gennady. I think it will be a good fight."
Has Alvarez grown enough to overcome the might of Golovkin in what's being billed as the fight of the year? When it comes to gut feeling, Russ can see history repeating.
"If he (Alvarez) can't get away from him and he can't use range, I personally think he is going to lose. Not only that but get stopped."

VIII: Seal of Pilgrimage
I'm sorry, but this otherwise solid-but-nothing-particularly-special EP is made instantly essential by the mere presence of "Satori". I mean, the other songs are all good. They're all quite good, but... none of them are "Satori". I know it's childish and silly to be this focused on merely one song out of what is clearly an artistic compilation of many different and equally well thought out ideas, but I'd be lying to you if I told that that I didn't see Junreiin as anything other than a 33 minute run-up to that fucking brilliant closing track. It's all the uplifting genius of their latest crop of album closers, the nardtarding heaviness of "Wa ga Tousou" and "Dilemma", and two of the band's best ever riffs (that first one and the one that plays in between the verses and under the solo). Seriously, that opening riff gives me such an uncomfortably noticeable stiffy that I leave the room even when nobody is in there but me. "Satori" is my Viagra, and were I a woman, I'm sure it'd turn my beanhood into a torrid Mordor (and the winner of the "least sexy description of a stimulated vagina" award goes to...!). Try not air guitaring to the entirety of the song, I fucking dare you. If the rest of the album was as good as that one last song, this would undoubtedly be their best release, by a galactic mile.
But unfortunately, it's not. Junreiin is a bit of an oddity in the sense that it's considered an EP despite being as long as plenty of metal albums, it's just held back by the fact that it's only seven tracks long. Taking that godly "Satori" out of the equation, it's a very solid romp that doesn't leave much to be desired. It does its job as a Gargoyle release in the sense that it provides big rocking thrashers ("Mark"), cultural and quirky choons ("Shounen A"), soulful softies ("Taiyou No Shita De Ichiban Utsukushiku Ikiru Hito De Iyou"), and big, monolithic "Ruten no Yo Nite" wannabes ("Bokura Wa Yagate Mizu E To Kaeru"). Now, all of these songs are good, with the crushing slow track being the longest the band had written at that point, clocking in at just over eight minutes, but most of it really isn't the most memorable stuff that I feel the band could muster. I mean, "Bokura..." is alright, but it just kind of trudges along and never takes command of my attention. It's kind of a shame because this is pretty steadily the most consistently heavy album the band had released in years, and a very welcome effort in the sense that unlike the preceding Natural, it's also very focused.
One of the most immediately obvious changes that this EP brings is the guitar tone. Fuckafuck it's really goddamn heavy. Right from the opening notes of "Mark", it makes its presence known with the roughest, dirtiest tone the band has ever utilized. It contrasts well with the always warm bass and furious percussion, and coagulates into the most suffocatingly dense sound Gargoyle had ever presented. It's awesome and fits very well with every facet of the band's diverse songwriting, so even if every song sucked (which they don't, clearly) I'd certainly appreciate it for the incredibly well done production.
In the realm of quirky, progressive, melodic thrash, Gargoyle are pretty much always going to be the champs in my eyes, and Junreiin feels like merely another brick in the wall in the grand scheme of things. There are cool moments (like the numerous fakeout endings of "Eien no Renzoku" or the deep narrated passages in "Moshimo Watashi ga Sekai no Rule Nara"), and it's overall a very heavy and well done album and certainly worthy of the Gargoyle name. What Kaikoroku was for the experimental Aratama, I feel Junreiin is for the experimental Natural. I just feel like, despite it being solid, there wouldn't be any reason to seek this out specifically if not for the stunning "Satori". The only reason I don't ejaculate quite as hard over "Shouryakukeitachi Yo" (which I remind y'all is the best Gargoyle song of all time) is because it's housed on an album with only marginally less perfect tracks, whereas "Satori" is a clear standout amidst a bunch of "pretty good" songs. Check it out just for "Satori".

Hunterz Blog – part 2
Ok we're back. This time around, January's behind us and it's payday. Woo-Hoo. Every one's back in the game and the sites chock-a- block with new deals and top brands.
Before we get into the deals, I noticed some discount danger the other day. I got an email from the Second Lord of the Treasury – The Chancellor – telling me that he couldn't sell me shares as they were actually cheaper to buy on the stock market. Turns out that even with his 5% discount and buy 10 get 1 free offer thrown in.
So, the lesson here Hunterz… is to make sure you get the best discounts before you buy and you can do this by checking www.discounthunterz.co.uk before you click that checkout button. Boom!
Our top picks this week are…
Pizza Hut = 50% off orders of £30
Who doesn't love Piii-zzzza? – Teenage turtle's, Americans, families. Everyone does.
This deal from Pizza Hut means you can get £30 of Pizza Hut grub with the Hunterz voucher and it will only cost you £15.00. Admit it, you're going to eat the leftovers for breakfast aren't you.
Remember this deal runs out on valentine's day. But i'm sure that you wouldn't get pizza for your significant other on a night like that? Surely not.
IWOOT = Multiple vouchers
Ok. There's a lot of good vouchers for IWOOT or otherwise known as I WANT ONE OF THOSE on hunterz this time. As it sounds, it's got loads of good stuff on there which is perfect for our ongoing Valentine's day theme with our 10% off valentines gifts voucher.
As it sounds this ones time limited to 14 February. Have a look and i'm sure you can make them happy and appear like you've put some effort in.
Great gifts for him or her but if you're quick off the mark you can bag 20% off as a celebration of Chinese New year.
If you don't know, it's on Monday 8 February and that's when the voucher becomes history just like the year of the Sheep. So click the voucher and get your orders in now to save some cash and cruise into the year of the Monkey 20% richer.
Footasylum – 10% off first on-line order
Lots of new fashion brands have joined us recently. One of my personal favourite brands is the trainer heaven Footasylum.
It's too late for me, as i have already brought too many trainers from Footasylum, and others, already. But if you're in the market for some crisp box fresh action then this 10% for new customers is the one for you.
Logitech = £5 off a £30 any spend
Ok one last one before we go. I fancy this cute little bluetooth keyboard by Logitech. I've got bluetooth in most computery things now so it should be fun to play around with and save me trying to type on a tiny screen. This also supports IOS & Android and has a battery life of two years. You should be, according to Logitech, good for 4million keystrokes before a recharge!
Our voucher gives a nice clean £5 off a £30 any spend with Logitech and drops the snappily titled 'K380' d own to 30 quid. Search the site for the deal and whilst you're there check out the rest of our new retailers joining the hunt.
That's it for now.
Happy hunting hunterz

Initially, my chithi (mother's younger sister) will be threatening me with a glass of this juice. I will just hate to have it because of the taste of this gooseberry. But, the juice made along with ginger and curry leaves, had an improved taste, so I stopped running away from it. My chithi says that, she is feeling too active after having this juice continuously. So, it is proven Energy Boosting Juice for me.
Being a teacher, I remember my amma (mother) comparing Studies with this gooseberry, in my childhood days. Similar to the gooseberries sour taste at the first and ending up with sweet taste, studies will be hard (for some) initially, but when completed will give a good shape to life.
Amla or Indian gooseberry is a not just a fruit, but a boon to the people on the earth. The benefits of amla are numerous. Amla in any form like fruit, juice or even dried when consumed will show a great improvement in your health. Amla oil is one of the best medicines for hair care. And, so obviously this amla tree, is considered to be sacred here in India. It is also one among the various reasons, giving fame to India.
Prep time 15 mins
Cooking time Nil
3 nos Gooseberry (Chopped and Deseeded)
1 inch sized Ginger
3 Springs of Curry Leaves
1 tsp Salt (optional)
1- 1&1/2 cup of Water
1- 1&1/2 cup of Water
1. Remove the seeds and and chop the gooseberry.
2. Then in a blender put the chopped gooseberry, ginger and curry leaves. Blend it, then add a cup of water and salt. Again blend it.
3. Now strain the extracted juice and transfer it to a container.
The juice for keeping you always young, active n healthy is ready.
The juice for keeping you always young, active n healthy is ready.
- You can also dilute the concentrate and have it.
- The number of amla = The number of persons. For example, if you are a three numbered family, then take three amlas.
- Instead of salt, honey can also be added.

I recently posted a Short in which I mentioned how my best friend and I got jobs as servers in a restaurant when we were in college. And we were horrible at it.
I think she was even worse than I was, which was very telling of her skills, as all I ever did was sit at a back table and watch one of the more experienced servers as she walked by, balancing a huge platter of plates and drinks on her shoulder.
"Wow," I would breathe. "Where do you think she learned to do that?"
My best friend Leigh, sweating with the all-around exertion and anxiety that being servers seemed to cause us (even when we weren't doing anything) would shoot me a disgusted look. "Um, I don't know, dumbass. Probably here?"
"When will we learn how to do it?" I'd respond, hardly breathing as the veteran server squatted and then executed a perfect platter slide-off to the empty table next to her customers and began passing out plates of food.
"Well, they've already tried to teach us several times," Leigh would mutter.
Once, Leigh found me in the kitchen, where I was trying to flirt with one of the hot waiters. "Oh my gosh, Shay," she said, her face red with anger. "That asshole sitting at the bar just told me that I'd make more money up in his room with him!"
We worked in a hotel bar/restaurant where most of the customers were staying.
I blinked at her. "So what time are you meeting him up there?"
"SHAY!" Leigh shouted, all offended. "I'm not!"
I looked at the hot waiter, who just shrugged at me. "Why not?" I asked my best friend, surprised. "He's right. You would make more money up in his room. You suck shit at this job."
Leigh sniffed, indignant. "Sure I do, but that doesn't mean I'm going to turn tricks in a hotel room!"
Now it was my turn to shrug. "When did you get so proud, Leigh? Didn't you just get it on with a guy you met at a bar? For free? In our apartment? Which is a hell of a lot shittier than these hotel rooms? In fact, I'd say turning a trick or two in the penthouse suite is a total step up from the other night…"
As my best friend seemed to be considering, it was my turn to be offended. "Hey," I said, narrowing my eyes. "I refilled that guy's peanut bowl. Why the hell didn't he ask me to come to his room and make a few bucks?"
Leigh and the hot waiter looked at me—and, more specifically, my hair—as if no explanation was necessary. And it wasn't.
After all, it had been just the other night when we'd all gotten off of work and headed to the hot waiter and his roommate's apartment to have drinks and he'd looked at me, raised his eyebrows appraisingly, and said, "You know, you'd be really cute if it weren't for that boy haircut."
That blasted haircut. Thank God he had still made out with me…but still. That blasted haircut.
I had gone in for The Rachel, but the cut had ended up far from it. It was even worse than the time I was 5 and went to the salon with my mom and my older sister. I was so in awe of the sinks where I watched people lay their heads back and be sprayed with the handheld nozzle by the hairstylists that I convinced my mom I wanted my beautiful, back-then-naturally blonde hair chopped to my ears just so I could get a turn in that sink.
I cried for days afterwards, screaming at my mom, "Who listens to a five-year old?!"
My collegiate haircut was so horrible that during the months it took for it to grow out, I found myself yearning for the days in which I had once been compared to Tori Spelling.
That's how bad it was.
One of the girls we knew from our old dorm described it like this: "It looks like an airborne mushroom decided to land atop your head."
And I went, "Who says 'atop'? Fcking nerd."
And she replied, "Says the girl with the mushroom atop her head."
Anyway, Leigh never ventured up to Pretty Woman it in the guy's hotel room, and although I think that was probably the best choice, I was still mad that during our "I Have Never" drinking games (in which everyone who actually HAS done what the speaker says he or she has never done has to drink), I wouldn't be able to make her drink in front of everyone by saying, "I have never been a prostitute."


text: Celebrities Who Tried Acting, But It Didn't Go So WellStardom is a funny thing. Though a star can earn worldwide celebrity through talent, beauty, or even YouTube videos, that gift does not always translate well to the big screen. Just ask these folks. All of them earned a large degree of celebrity before trying their hand at acting, and all failed miserably when it came to the movies. These celebrities that tried acting and failed serve as cautionary tales to anyone else who thinks acting just means saying lines in front of a camera. David Reddish 4 of 20 Image By: The SunTaylor SwiftTaylor Swift tried her first acting role with then-boyfriend Taylor Lautner (remember him?) in "Valentine's Day." The movie got terrible reviews, and so did Swift. She's only had one part outside voiceover work since. Image By: BillboardRihannaRihanna got into acting with a film called "Battleship," a movie based on a board game. The movie sunk at the box office, as did Rihanna's most recent outing, "Valerian." Image By: CambioChristina AguileraChristina Aguilera flirted with acting for years before starring opposite Cher in the big-screen musical "Burlesque." The movie flopped, and Aguilera earned mostly negative reviews. She's kept to singing since. Image By: Daily MirrorBritney SpearsMaybe Christina Aguilera waited so long to act after she saw what happened to Britney Spears. Spears starred in the dud "Crossroads," which effectively killed her acting career before it really got started. Critics actually said her acting was only worthy of a Pepsi commercial. Image By: Vulture50 CentRapper 50 Cent kicked off his career with "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" back in 2005, earning terrible reviews. He's kept acting anyway, most recently in "Southpaw." He may call his own resilience a win, though the audience may not feel the same way. Image By: PeopleWhitney HoustonOh, Whitney. We love you, and we miss you, but you were not a good actress. Yes, "The Bodyguard" and "Waiting to Exhale" had success at the box office, but Houston's acting chops earned attacks from critics and laughs from audiences. Image By: Fox NewsParis HiltonWe're not sure if Hilton's sex tape counts as her acting debut or not. Regardless, Hilton's first film outing, "House of Wax," earned her a Razzie Award for worst supporting actress. Image By: Hello MagazineMadonnaSpeaking of the Razzies, Madonna warned a special one in 1999: worst actress of the 20th century. They had good reason. Madonna has an awful reputation as an actress, as movies like "Who's That Girl," "Shanghai Surprise" and "The Next Best Thing" attest. Image By: Just JaredMariah CareyCarey's first starring vehicle, "Glitter," suffered two awful circumstances. First, it opened two weeks after the 9/11 attacks. Second, it had Carey in the lead. "Glitter" bombed, and Carey earned dreadful reviews. She would later redeem herself (somewhat, anyway) with a role in "Precious." Image By: The Stars FactMarc AnthonyIn fairness, Anthony's acting career started out well in films like "Bringing Out the Dead." When he starred opposite then-wife Jennifer Lopez in "El Cantante," he earned horrid reviews, and the movie died at the box office. Image By: MetroTonya HardingEveryone's favorite Olympic supervilliainess tried her hand at acting after a court ruled she could never ice skate again. She starred in the film "Breakaway," which went straight to video and earned Harding god-awful reviews. Image By: Famous PeopleJulianne HoughThe "Dancing with the Stars" hoofer tried to make a splash with the remake of "Footloose" back in 2011. She earned awful reviews. She followed up with a leading role in "Rock of Ages," which bombed and earned her more horrid reviews. Image By: TwitterKelly ClarksonAs part of her contract, the original "American Idol" winner starred in a movie, "From Justin to Kelly," with runner-up Justin Guarini. The film tanked, and earned awful reviews. Clarkson later said she'd not wanted to do the film, but the "Idol" producers forced her to. Image By: Us WeeklyJessica SimpsonWhen her reality show proved a hit, Ms. Simpson decided to try real acting in the remake of "The Dukes of Hazzard." She earned terrible reviews, as did her work in the flop comedies "Employee of the Month" and "Blonde Ambition." She's kept to music since. Image By: The Gazette ReviewShane DawsonYouTube "comedian" Shane Dawson tried to make it big, Hollywood style, with a film he wrote, directed and starred in back in 2014. "Not Cool" earned him awful reviews on all fronts, and sent him packing back to YouTube. Image By: abc newsCaitlyn JennerBefore her transition, Caitlyn Jenner followed her Olympic gold-medal wins with a role in "Can't Stop The Music" opposite The Village People. The disco musical flopped, and Jenner moved on to infomercials and reality shows. Image By: Los Angeles TimesDennis RodmanBack in the 1990s, Rodman earned a reputation as the bad boy of the NBA. He also earned a repuatation as a bad actor thanks to his turn in "Double Team." He won three Razzie Awards for his work. Image By: PopCrushSpice GirlsThe pop group once tried to rule the world and the box office with their own musical comedy "Spice Word." It earned a reputation as one of the worst movies ever made, and critics cited the girls for terrible acting. Image By: YouTubeVanilla IceThough it seems like a lifetime ago, Vanilla Ice once ruled the music charts and enjoyed sex-symbol status. But his foray into acting as the star of "Cool As Ice" killed his chances at movie stardom. Image By: Us WeeklyAnna Nicole SmithThe busty model tried to cross over into acting with a role in the direct-to-video film "To the Limit." She earned horrendous reviews, as did her subsequent work in "Skyscraper." She stuck to modeling and reality TV thereafter. < Previous Next >

Jeff and I went to meet with Ethan's 2nd grade substitute teacher for his first parent/teacher conference at Sacramento Elementary. His teacher, Mrs. Foreman, has been on maternity leave since school started and will be back after Christmas break so we don't yet know how her teaching will differ from the substitute. Mrs. Guthrie has been the substitute and really is a nice lady who had many good things to say about Ethan during this conference. Of course, he has broken out of his shell and has made a few friends as well as likes to talk, but overall she stated that he was doing well and right where he should be. I have struggled with this school as their communication for anything is non-existant and very difficult for me to adjust to with it being the complete opposite of St. Therese. Time will tell but hopefully at the end of the school year he will still right where he should be.

Kate has a new job!
The last 2-1/2 years I have worked at OHSU in the Perinatology Clinic aka high-risk OB and for the most part I have really enjoyed the job as well as the people that I have worked with. About 6 months after I started working there, I was asked to take on a second job becoming the office assistant for the Childbirth Education program. To make both jobs work with picking Ethan up from school by 3pm, I opted to begin my day at 6am, which for the most part was not bad with the exception of the 4am alarm. It gave me lots of new opportunities to work with different people and projects. About a month or so ago it was decided that the Childbirth Education office assistant position would be combined with a new admin assistant position and therefore my hours would be cut. I decided that between paying to park $13/day as well as union dues for a part-time job, that I would check out what other possibilities might be available. I accepted a position back with Legacy Health Systems at Emanuel Hospital as an office assistant for the Outpatient Rehab Department. My last day with OHSU is 10/21/14 and my first day with Legacy will be 10/27/14.
Corn Maize at Sauvie Island - Ethan's first time
Last night we met Adam, Desi, Taylor & Kelly at the Taproom for dinner before heading to the Corn Maize at Sauvie Island. As this was Ethan's first time at the corn maize and he is a bit terrified of scary things, Jeff, Ethan and I opted for the non-scary corn maize while the others wanted to pee their pants in the haunted maize. At first he was a bit scared and was holding onto Jeff's hand as his life line until about 5 minutes into the maize and then he decided it was fun after all and began to lead us through all 10 check points. At times he can be exhaustively negative so it was really nice to here on our way home that he had a really fun time.

Friends for Life
Naomie and I met when she came to work as a CNA at Zion Care Center just after we had graduated from high school and she moved from California to live with her Great-Grandparents in LaVerkin. We instantly became friends and nearly 20 years later her daughter, Tayler, lives with us, as she moved here just after graduating from high school to attend college in Portland. Yesterday, October 11th, was Tayler's 18th birthday and Naomie and her husband, Mark, were able to come to Portland for a visit. It was so good to see her and catch up as it has probably been 10+ years since we have seen each other.

Sunday Adventure - Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail
Today we took the bikes on an adventure along the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail that is along the freeway leading to the Bonneville Dam and Cascade Locks. It was another 80 degree day and a really nice ride...with the exception of E, who constantly has to be complaining about something.
Then we headed to Lee Farms for Apple Cider donuts and to feed this cute little guy.
Jeff also got a new car this weekend, a 2009 Acura TSX. He sold his Honda Accord to my brother, Doug, and drove it to him the first weekend of October.

The information listed below is likely outdated and has been preserved for archival purposes.
As we told you back in June, this year proceeds from Festival Epicure would go to benefit Pathway to Potential, Windsor/Essex County's Poverty Reduction Strategy.
The numbers are in and the total amount that was raised was over $12,000 dollars for local community gardens.
This investment into community gardens will allow people with limited means and space the opportunity to grow their own food and it will allow food banks to provide more healthy food options for people in need.
The following agencies will benefit from the $12,000 investment: Amherstburg Community Garden, Campus Garden Project, Community Garden in West Windsor, Harambee Neighbourhood Garden, Kingsville Community Garden, and Unemployed Help Centre's Community Garden.

Happy Helmet Day!
Yesterday maybe 3 out of 100 motorbike drivers I saw was wearing a helmet. Today it was more like 97 out of 100. Pretty crazy. I knew that a helmet law was coming about, I just thought no one was actually going to follow through.
It was a bit surreal really. It's like going to the mall and seeing the herds all wearing mittens for some reason. My theory is that people will just drive more dangerously to compensate for the added safety of the helmet. The most reassuring thing is that the children and babies are wearing helmets now too. When people ride with toddlers, the kids often just stand on the seat between mom and dad... at least they're in helmets now.

Four Delhi University (DU) students — accused of stalking Union Textile Minister Smriti Zubin Irani — have been arrested by the Delhi Police after she filed a formal complaint with them. The incident took place on the evening of Saturday, April 1, and the students were formally arrested on Sunday, April 2, the police said. One of the students apologised later, urging Irani to ensure that their future is not jeopardised.

Irani told the police in her official complaint that four youngsters travelling in a car were reportedly stalking her near the Motibagh Flyover while she was in her vehicle. The Delhi Police immediately swung into action and detained all the four accused for questioning.

During their interrogation, it emerged that all four of them were aged 18-19 years and were students of the city's Ram Lal College. It also came to light that they had gone to a friend's birthday party nearby, and were driving around in the area "for fun." Exactly why they targeted Irani and her car is being ascertained.
On Sunday morning, the Delhi Police confirmed that tests had revealed all four youngsters were in an inebriated state when they were detained. The police also said that the four had been formally arrested under charges of stalking and trying to outrage the modesty of a woman. They did not say if any of the four DU students had been booked for drunk-driving.
After their arrest, the four were taken to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, where medical tests determined that they had consumed significant amount of alcohol. They were presented in a local court later in the day, and were granted bail. The four students are currently out of prison. Meanwhile, Irani reportedly visited the Chanakyapuri police station — where the boys were kept after they were put in detention — and told the police to take strict action against them.

The apology
One of the four students later told news channels he was apologising to Irani on behalf of all four of them for any act of harassment they had consciously or unconsciously committed. He also urged her to think of their future and forgive them this one time.
He told reporters he and his friends were listening to songs at a high volume and were making vidoes to upload to a social media platform when the incident happened. He said neither of them had any idea whose car they had overtaken until the police were called and they were detained.

TRAC Intermodal has been honored by CSX as a key supplier providing customer service excellence. It was one of nine companies that CSX recognized and the only company in the intermodal transportation business.
TRAC manages an intermodal chassis pool. In lauding TRAC, CSX said that as a key supplier TRAC has gone "the extra mile to help ensure the railroad's success."
These suppliers are recognized for going "above and beyond the value of a contract, investing in customer support and thinking of CSX needs."

The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think. -Horace Walpole

Where have you been, Ninny B?
Yesterday I was reminded of something. I was struggling with these feelings of inadequacy and blaming it on the fact that I skated through my undergrad which left me unequipped to deal with the challenge of graduate level research. But you know how memory is usually kinder than it should be. I was remembering what it was like to be a senior undergraduate, FOUR years into the program. THAT was easy only because along the way, I had those FRESHMAN crying phone calls home to my Dad when I was paralyzed with fear at writing my first 8 page essay for a feminism class (don't get me started...this was the class that prompted my grandmother to say,
"What? FEM-I-NISM????? you'll come back as one of those LIBERALS!"). I was reminded that my freshman year, I constantly doubted my capacity to swim with the big dogs...wait, I think I got that wrong...but again, you know what I mean. I always told people that I got into Penn so they could fill their diversity quotient (because every ivy league school is looking for another white girl from the north eastern united states). I never thought I belonged there in the beginning.
The point is that now is not that different. I'm a baby. I'm a little freshman! And I'm not really up to the task of writing a thesis and understanding every theory perfectly and connecting ALL the dots....YET. But I'm here. And I love to learn. And I'm diligent. Soon I'll be a senior and before I know it, I'll be remember grad school with the soft lense of time. I might even remember it so fondly that I (gasp) sign up for a Ph.D. program. But probably not.

Well, feel glad that your endeavors make me want to say words like "edumacated" and "saxamaphone". You are amazing.

Oh Ninny... Have I mentioned that EVERY DAY I was in grad school I was waiting for them to just kick me out and claim my admission was a mistake? My whole time at Columbia was basically spent feeling like a big fraud. On average, I cried three times a week. I felt like the biggest idiot ever.
The learning curve is TOUGH after being out of school for so long. It's supposed to be. Just feel as if every tear you shed is you getting your money's worth.
Keep your chin up. You can do this!
I still want to go back for another master's degree. Apparently Columbia didn't abuse me enough...

Wondering and waiting...
Do you ever obsess about issues or problems over which you have on control?
Here the thing: we have told the agency that we are willing to take another kid. We have said that the kid does not have to be openly GLBT, but that we do want to take a child for whom it is best to be in a gay-friendly environment. (Translation: if s/he trips your gaydar call us. We promose not to give the kid back if you're wrong.)
So they will keep an eye out for a kid that is a good match for us. They know Brian and Andrew are here, and they won't send us kids who they think would not be able to get along with them. No one is expecting that all the kids will adore each other, but they do need to be able to tolerate each other.
Personally I am hoping for someone with relationship skills more like David's and less like Evan's. David is a master at ignoring younger kids when they are being annoying. Evan feeds it.
I wish that our agency worked more with kids younger than Brian. Though some of the divisions do take kids as young as 9, the local office do not get many pre-teens at all. Brian thinks he wants to be an older brother. He imagines being doting and loving and having a wonderful mentor-relationship. I don't think it would work out the way he imagines, but I do think it would be good for him not to be the youngest anymore.
We considered not doing care for a few years, let Brian get older, more mature, perhaps even wait until we could get a kid younger than he. The down side of that is that Brian will be devastated when Andrew leaves for college. Everyone agrees it will be easier for him if there is another kid in the house.
It feels strange to be thinking about what is best for Brian in this way. I know that it is wrong for all kinds of reasons to add children to a family in order to meet the needs of the ones already here. Though it is important that new kids are not hurtful to kids who are already in the home, there is a line between that concern and shopping for a kid who will benefit current kids. Even if there weren't that major ethical issue of treating new children as commodities, there would be the fact that such a project is doomed to failure.
Andrew has also asked that the next kid be younger than he. Andrew's request is based upon realistic expectations, however. He is not imagining an idealized relationship; he just knows that his senior year is going to be stressful and he doesn't want another senior in the house. He also does not want another older kid coming in and trying to establish dominance. I think that he imagines, correctly, that it will be easier for him to maintain an emotional detachment from someone younger. He can be the kind, although not really interested, older boy.
But for all this runs around in my mind, I know there is nothing that I can do about it.
I am not in the position that so many pre-adoptive parents are in. I sometimes find myself looking at the photolistings, but I am not going to call anyone. I do not read the descriptions, trying to fill in the missing details, and wonder if this is my child. I do not ask for particular kids.
I wait for the phone to ring. At some point someone will call. Though it is possible that it will just be a social worker who knows we have a bedroom available and wants to know if we would be interested, that is less likely. The call will probably come after a staff meeting at which they have discussed whether this youth is a match for us. We will read the file and meet the kid.
And then we will wonder whether we can make it work. Though right now the question that runs through my head is, "What would be best for Brian?" the question that I will ask then is, "Can we meet this youth's needs while still meeting Brian's and Andrew's?" Or more realistically, "Can Brian and this kid get along well enough that I can resist the urge to bang their heads together?"
I'm still in that weird emotional space where I am happy to have the time off and yet impatient to know who the next kid will be.
As of tomorrow it will be three weeks since Evan left. Seems impossible, but he did leave on the 10th.

A publication in India wants to do an interview with me on this subject, and asked the following questions. I provide my answers as they may be of interest to a wider group:
Q. Many of us fail to distinguish between religion and spirituality. Is there a difference between the two? What according to you is the difference between religion and spirituality?
Answer: It is fashionable nowadays to try and make a distinction between "religion" as consisting in Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and so on (that is, established and formal religions) and "spirituality" as consisting in attempts to relate to the Divine outside the established formalities of such religions.
In India, we have had a long tradition (since the first century before Christ) of a split between religion (as in temples) and spirituality (as in meditation, and so on).
However, in fact, there is no real distinction between "religion" and "spirituality" - or, if there is a distinction, it is a purely academic and theoretical one.
In actuality, all devotees of any religion are seeking to experience God and to be guided by Him. And everyone who is
"spiritual" is seeking exactly the same.
Q: What are the challenges faced by the world of business today? Can spirituality play a role in overcoming these challenges?
Answer: The main challenges faced by business are:
A. How to survive in a hyper-competitive world, and
B. How to deal with the increasing demands of regulation, corporate governance, ethics, corporate social responsibility, and so on.
Spirituality/ religion can indeed play a key part in this, in terms of motivation, fair play, and providing a means of understanding and relating not only to the world in general but also specifically to financial, economic, environmental, health and other challenges. This is too wide and complex a subject to go into in this brief space, but a Google search for my somewhat unusual name will indicate at least some materials with which to begin an exploration of some of these matters.
Q: Companies like ServiceMaster in the US states one of its company objectives as "To honor God in all we do", while Kyocera from Japan has its corporate motto as "Respect the Divine and Love People." Even leaders from Indian companies are speaking about application of spirituality in business. What is the reason behind this increasing interest in spirituality? Is it a fad?
Answer: It is a fad, but what is wrong with that? Fads can be good and useful as well as useless and even horrible! But at least some of the reasons for the fad are negative ones, in that the impact of evolution in the West tore many people away from their spiritual roots in Christianity and the Bible. Now the children and grandchildren of these people are discovering that atheism may be fine as a means of protest against hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty, but atheism provides no answers regarding how to live as an individual or family or how to conduct business or political life - so spirituality is coming back…..
Q. Are concepts like 'spirituality at workplace', 'organisation renewal' etc meant only for mature organisations which have financial and human resources to support such activities? What about start-ups/ small scale industries etc?
Answer: In my experience, it does not matter whether companies are mature or start-ups: some of both sorts of companies welcome and nurture spiritual interests. By contrast, other companies (mature or start-ups) are hostile or negligent of spirituality.
Q. Are there experiments/studies to show that tapping spirituality at work has resulted in a positive impact on business? Can you cite examples of companies boldly engaging in spiritual dialogues inside and outside the organisation? Any specific examples you would like to share...?
Answer: The evidence is solid. Read books such as Jesus C.E.O. or Moses on Leadership (if you would like a more extensive reading list, please contact me and I will happily send it to you).
Moreover, the evidence is growing greater and spreading wider each week. Read publications such as Faith in Business Quarterly or Sojourners magazine or Business Ethics.
Companies: you mention ServiceMaster above - a fine example. Others include, in the USA, Herman Miller, PepsiCola, FedEx, and so on. In the UK, companies such as Barclays Bank and Shell have had "christian fellowship" groups for decades.
Q. Your messages to a business leader who would like to tap spirituality at her/his workplace?
Answer: First, go yourself personally to a relatively "neutral" or "non-threatening" or "safe" meeting, such as those sponsored by The Trinity Forum in Europe. Then explore the subject in some minimum depth yourself, in order to understand the most common pitfalls and mistakes made in this field, so that you can steer around these. Spirituality is powerful - even Hitler was highly religious! So don't mess around naively. Study the subject, and decide the best way forward before moving in public on it.
Q. Any other thoughts you would like to share?
Spirituality is not only for our private or individual lives. Spirituality has also historically shaped things that we take for granted today, such as democracy and literacy and science and technology and economic progress and company law and monetary practice and banking and women's rights and children's rights and animal rights and environmental concern.
Spirituality also shapes families, communities, businesses, economics and politics.
Atheistic views have slaughtered more people in the twentieth century alone than all the religious wars throughout history. Moreover, atheists have contributed little of positive value to any area of life.

Was not the ideal weekend since I have been sick since about Wednesday. Oh well, still made the best of it. Took off Friday after work and crashed after an hour of bs'ing once we got up there. Hooked up with a group of folks, had a beer and crashed. Head was pounding and the congestion was kicking in.
Woke up and tried to stay with the training to see if I could kick this thing. Not the case. Started off on a morning run. Uh yeah, cold. Did I mention it was cold. Dang. About 40 minutes into, I headed back to the room. Jumped in the HUGE jacuzzi tub and ran hot water forever. Then took a nap.
Lunch, hanging out in the village, then back for another nap. Dinner at Monks, good filet. Some drinks cards and then I crashed and left the rest of the kids to play.
Crisp Sunday morning for some mtn biking, which was the reason the trip was planned. Last mtn biking weekend before we start boarding. Got some good trail riding up and around lost lake. Lots of new trails done with some sweet thin wood plank bridges and kick ass rock face riding. Good stuff.
On the way back to the village, found a little skills course. Thin planks and a sea saw set up. Pretty sweet. Eric V and I hooked it up a few times and then Steph got in on it as well.
Now home pumping myselft full of some more medicine so I can get some sleep then start the week back on my role as Atlas' corporate slave. C-ya.

UPDATE of urgent prayer request for Pequena. I was able to see Pequena this morning for about 10 minutes and she wasn't on a cardiac monitor anymore but is still on 14 Liters of oxygen by mask. Her breathing has eased only slightly and she's not breathing quite as fast. She's awake a bit more and the tia said she was a bit playful last night. All good news, but she is still VERY critical. Please continue praying with us!

BATON ROUGE, LA - The No. 8 LSU baseball team exploded for 10 runs on 13 hits to defeat the Lamar Cardinals, 10-4, Tuesday night at Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field.
With the win, LSU improves to 26-12.
Right-hander Caleb Gilbert earned the win and improved to 2-1 on the season. The sophomore started the game for the Tigers and fired two innings and allowed one run on three hits and struck out one.
Junior Austin Bain highlighted the Tigers' relief effort on the mound, firing 2.1 hitless innings. The right-hander walked two and struck out three.
Lamar right fielder Cutter McDowell sent the first pitch of the game over the left field wall to lift the Cardinals to the 1-0 lead.
In the bottom of the second with catcher Jordan Romero on first base after a leadoff walk, Coomes drilled a ball over the left field wall, and Smith followed with a solo shot of his own.
The Tigers had the bases loaded and one out in the second when centerfielder Zach Watson singled to left field, driving in left fielder Antoine Duplantis, who reached on a single earlier in the inning. After batting around in the inning, the Tigers had two outs and the bases loaded for Romero. The catcher plated shortstop Kramer Robertson and second baseman Cole Freeman with a single to left field, and LSU jumped out to the 6-1 advantage.

- Valerian is an herb sold as a dietary supplement in the United States.
- Valerian is a common ingredient in products promoted as mild sedatives and sleep aids for nervous tension and insomnia.
- Evidence from clinical studies of the efficacy of valerian in treating sleep disorders such as insomnia is inconclusive.
- Constituents of valerian have been shown to have sedative effects in animals, but there is no scientific agreement on valerian's mechanisms of action.
- Although few adverse events have been reported, long-term safety data are not available.
What is valerian?
Valerian (Valeriana officinalis), a member of the Valerianaceae family, is a perennial plant native to Europe and Asia and naturalized in North America. It has a distinctive odor that many find unpleasant. Other names include setwall (English), Valerianae radix (Latin), Baldrianwurzel (German), and phu (Greek). The genus Valerian includes over 250 species, but V. officinalis is the species most often used in the United States and Europe and is the only species discussed in this fact sheet.
What are the historical uses of valerian?Valerian has been used as a medicinal herb since at least the time of ancient Greece and Rome. Its therapeutic uses were described by Hippocrates, and in the 2nd century, Galen prescribed valerian for insomnia. In the 16th century, it was used to treat nervousness, trembling, headaches, and heart palpitations. In the mid-19th century, valerian was considered a stimulant that caused some of the same complaints it is thought to treat and was generally held in low esteem as a medicinal herb. During World War II, it was used in England to relieve the stress of air raid.
In addition to sleep disorders, valerian has been used for gastrointestinal spasms and distress, epileptic seizures, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. However, scientific evidence is not sufficient to support the use of valerian for these conditions.
How does valerian work?
Many chemical constituents of valerian have been identified, but it is not known which may be responsible for its sleep-promoting effects in animals and in in vitro studies. It is likely that there is no single active compound and that valerian's effects result from multiple constituents acting independently or synergistically.
Can valerian be harmful?
Few adverse events attributable to valerian have been reported for clinical study participants. Headaches, dizziness, pruritus, and gastrointestinal disturbances are the most common effects reported in clinical trials but similar effects were also reported for the placebo. In one study an increase in sleepiness was noted the morning after 900 mg of valerian was taken. Investigators from another study concluded that 600 mg of valerian (LI 156) did not have a clinically significant effect on reaction time, alertness, and concentration the morning after ingestion. Several case reports described adverse effects, but in one case where suicide was attempted with a massive overdose it is not possible to clearly attribute the symptoms to valerian.

I'm curious to know if anyone has any idea how MySQL goes with ASP (or any other language) on a Windows machine, production wise. Our website contains static pages and we're planning on making them dynamic. Cost is an issue. If anyone knows how well MySQL performs on WinNT or knows of issues I should be concerned about, I'd appreciate hearing from you.
I've already had experience with MySQL on a Linux environment and wondering if its Windows brother is on the same level. I know MySQL doesn't compare with SQL Server or Oracle when it comes to features, but it's something we're willing to give up because of cost.

Last year, or maybe it was two years ago, my new year's resolution was to cross train each week. Since it was concrete (you either do it or you don't), reasonable, and something I like doing, I picked it up easily, and it is now a part of my routine. This year, my big running resolution is to do yoga once a week.
I have had mixed experiences with yoga in the past. In theory, I want to like it, however, in reality, I never do. The numerous benefits of yoga are everywhere, and I want to experience all of them, however, usually I either get bored or impatient and leave the studio unsatisfied and vow never to go back. Hopefully, this year will be different.
In addition to yoga, I plan to use my foam roller regularly (not just when my knee hurts) and do push ups and planks regularly. Finally, I will be running the C and O Canal 100 Mile race again, and my goal is to run it in under 24 hours.
As with any resolution, I am starting with an optimistic attitude and positive thoughts. Stay tuned in 2016 to see how these resolutions go and experience many other running adventures with me!

- "Strange Harassment"
Walking down Connecticut towards Dupont Circle, a guy with dreads rode by on his skateboard. He singled me out as the 1) only other Black person 2) as a person with dreads amongst the many White people in that specific block.
"Rastafarian powerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!" he squealed, while riding by. Great. He then stops near me.
"Have you heard of Haile Selassie?" he asked, the craziness obvious in his tone.
"Uh, no," I said, having a brain fart. The only thing on my mind was getting home to enjoy that burger I got from Five Guys. "And right now, I don't care."
"What?!" he said in shock. "Haile Selassie is the ultimate being of Black righteousness! The epitome of Rasta culture!"
"Dude, just because I'm Black and have dreads does not make me a Rasta," I said.
"Sista, you need to recognize! Embrace your Rasta-ness!"
This guy was annoying the crap out of me. He continued to skate on, screaming nonsense at me. I told him to please stop "coonin' and buffoonin'" and to leave me alone.
"Rasta power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he yelled from down the street. All these stuffy, middle-aged White people had noticed this, and started mocking this guy. "We need to embrace our Rastaness!" they said. It was just an uncomfortable experience.
I thought he was gone for good, but when I continued on I noticed he stopped to talk to a homeless man. I sneaked by behind a group of people so he wouldn't see me. I have never been embarrassed that badly in public in my life.
The rest of my harassment instances of the night were more of the typical vein, but none less disgusting or aggravating.
- Some guy standing in front of the Starbucks at Connecticut near the circle made kissing noises and winked at me.
"I do not like it when men make kissing noises at me," I said. "If you want to get my attention or other women's attentions, just say 'hello.'"
"Sorry, miss!" he said, nervously. "I didn't mean to look at you!" (So who were those kissing noises meant for? Either way, it's gross!)
- Later this evening, I walked past the Pizza Hut on M Street. Two delivery guys were sitting outside of the restaurant on their delivery bikes. One of them was checking me out! Ugh! The other guy told the ogler to leave me alone, but the ogler wouldn't stop. He said something in the lines of wanting to "get wit' dat fine thing in that leather jacket." Barf-o-rama. I didn't have the words to respond back. I gave a look in disgust and shook my head.
- Lastly, I made it to the bus stop and was waiting for it to take me home. This clown pulls up in a black SUV. Luckily for me he was in the left lane, so he wasn't directly near me. He beeps at me and waves as if he knows me, and I'm giving a look like "what the hell?!"
"Where are you goin'?" he asks in this whiny-sounding voice.
"I do not know you," I said. "When strange guys I don't know try to offer me a ride, it creeps me out."
"I seen [sic] you around," he said. Now that makes me extremely uncomfortable.
"I do not know you, please leave me alone," I said, trying to maintain my cool. I tried to use what I learned in Martha Langelan's workshop: a) naming the behavior ("When you _________________"), b) saying how it made me feel, then c) asking what I wanted the harasser to do in the future to modify his behavior. My rendering of it wasn't perfect, but I maintained a semblance of cool. My only huge mistake is saying "please." I was supposed to use an assertive tone with a neutral voice (which I did), and words like "please" and "sorry" water it down. Next time I'll remember.
The light turned green and the guy drove off, but his "I seen [sic] you around" still freaks me out. I can't go about my day anymore without worrying about these weird-ass guys following me and knowing my whereabouts. Reminds me of another thing I learned in Martha's workshop---never do anything routine or in a pattern. I need to change around how I get around so these men don't have a trace locked in on me. Sad it has to be that way.
So that's how I spent the rest of the night, dealing with creeps and losers.

Just got off the phone with my dear old Daddy. He happily reported that his doctor allows him to jog (but not run), so he just returned from the beach in Kennebunkport. One does not swim there, where the water is reportedly 60 degrees today. Yikes! He tells me I wouldn't be the only one spazzing out this morning.
Husband RJ is being treated to shopping at Lowes by MammaDog today, and VeggieGirl will be providing new sneakers for the Lord of Lawn and Garden. We will all dine out for a late lunch.
Sunny and hot today, with a projected high of 92. I don't need to tell you that I will probably blog, and not jog, today.
