I'm making good forward progress, and we should be very close to the first start-up.
This past weekend, I was able to get most of my goals accomplished that I laid out last week. I had my first experience with making braided AN hose, which went surprisingly well! I was able to put together the hoses for the gas tank to fuel hard-line connection and all of the hoses in the engine bay. I'm very pleased with how they turned out, and I didn't experience any major difficulties, phew!
The first thing I did was mount my AN coupler onto the end of my fuel rail and then attached my fuel pressure regulator to the other side. My only concern with this configuration is how close it comes to the hood latch. I'm worried that when the engine creates a torque, it will move a little and bang into the hood latch piece and potentially cause the piece to stress and potentially break. That may be a little far-fetched, but I am very cautious when it comes to dealing with fuel. Here is a photo to give you an idea of what I'm working with.
It's hard to tell because of the lighting, but it comes super close to the latch. I may be able to get away with it, but I am definitely going to keep an eye on it. If the engine torques away from the latch, then I think I am fine, but if it doesn't, it may end up running into the latch…eek!
Once I had that all squared away, I went ahead and start my hose making process. Not much to be said about this, just measuring and putting ends on hoses. Like I said, everything went well, so it was kind of fun. They look great, too. No more nasty black rubber!
Then, I moved onto the throttle cable. Honestly, this was the biggest pain in the butt thus far. I thought I had this all figured out and it would simply be a matter of drilling a hole, dropping the cable in through the firewall, and attached it to my throttle pedal.
I first had to think about how I was going to attach it to my throttle pedal, and I came up with this. I snagged this piece from an old throttle body I had lying around.
I figured I would just slip the little brass piece onto the end of the cable after I had fed it through the firewall and solder the end to keep it on there…but it had other plans. First off, it is a bear to try to work up in the throttle pedal area, so there was no way I was going to be able to solder up in there. I couldn't do it by pulling out the cable and then slipping it through the firewall due to the size of the piece. It just wouldn't work. So, at this point, I haven't come up with a solution yet, but hope to within the next couple of days so that I can have it taken care of next weekend.
I stepped away from the throttle issue because I was getting frustrated and moved onto the intercooler piping and radiator. This was easy enough. I had to swap out some intercooler pipes and reclock my turbo because of the placement is different compared to the stock T3. I will also have to have the blow off vale flange and IAT sensor bung rewelded to the 45 degree pipe over on the driver side near the radiator.
That is all I have for you guys this week. I'm fairly pleased with how things turned out this weekend, but I am disgruntled about the whole throttle cable thing…grr. Like I said, I'd like to have that figured out by next weekend. After that is done, I'd like to mount my coil and start wiring. This should entail routing the body harness wires, wiring megasquirt, and relocating the battery to the rear. This will more than likely be the more time-consuming task yet. I haven't even started drawing up my wiring diagram and I still need to install my BIP373 coil drivers into my megasquirt box to drive my triple Ford EDIS coil pack.
Ztay tuned!

Hey blogger world :)
It's the most romantic time of the year, it is winter and it is February, in fact tomorrow is the 14th of February or the day known as Valentine's Day.
I just saw this TAG on Elle & Blair's site and I wanted to do it, since it is in the spirit of Valentine's day.
1. What is your favorite Valentines Day treat?
I love something sweet to eat and some beautiful flowers.
2. Sweethearts or chocolate covered strawberries?
Definitely chocolate covered strawberries.
3. What was your favorite Valentines day memory?
I don't have a special one, because they're all lovely. Who doesn't love spending their day celebrating love.
4. What movie would you rather watch on Valentine's Day: Pretty Woman or You've Got Mail?
You've got Mail is such an obvious pick for me simply because this movie is my favorite movie of all times. I love it so much and I have lost count of how many times I have watched it. It's just an amazing love story.
5. What celeb would you not mind having as your Valentine?
I'd love me some Taylor Lautner.
6. What would you do on your perfect Valentine's date?
Go to a romantic picnic out of town and watch the sunset. And later have some champagne while watching the stars.
7. Red or pink lips on Valentines Day?
I've been obsessed with different red combinations lately, that's why red lips is my pick for Valentine's Day.
8. What is your ideal Valentine's Day date outfit?
I am a hopeless romantic and for my perfect date I would probably wear something more on the casual side but still pretty, and at the same time something comfortable.
I would wear a dress and a cardigan over it and pair it with some ballet flats.
I would wear a dress and a cardigan over it and pair it with some ballet flats.
9. Homemade or store-bought gifts?
I love both, but I do think that homemade gifts are in my opinion more personal and valuable and also very memorable. It is nice when you actually see that the person that loves you has not only thought of you and getting you something, but also they have put effort into creating something for you.
10. Would you wear your hair up or hair down for a date night?
I would wear my hair down.
I TAG all of you to answer this questions!
Thank you for reading,
Thank you for reading,

|More information:
In Still Following Percy, a collection of interrelated essays, Lewis Lawson studies the Percy canon to speculate that an earlier and more fundamental shaping of Walker Percy's character and fictional imagination was his sense of the inadequacy of the relationship which he as an infant had with his mother and of her early death. Lawson argues that the sense of loss led to Percy's tendency to regression, to his need to create his own life narrative in fiction after psychoanalysis had been insufficient as a means of reconstruction, and to his conversion to Roman Catholicism. Lawson interprets Percy's conversion as a statement of the possibility of reconciliation through the transcendent truth.

The following quote, which was pulled from a longer breakdown of the current status of Sarah Palin (thanks NPR), doesn't sound to me much like a social conservative:
"But she has also, correct me if I'm wrong, taken on her own party Establishment and been elected as the youngest and first lady Governor of the largest and most beautiful state in the union, raised taxes on oil companies and created a state budget surplus, which she gave back to Alaskans. Her first veto in office was a bill that would deny gay couples health benefits (and you know how those lesbians love Alaskan Cruises. Good call, Sarah!). She appointed a pro choice member of Planned Parenthood to the Alaskan Supreme Court in favor of a bible humping Fundie Blowhard, and she supports funding Head Start. She is, contrary to popular belief, pro-contraception, and has said so many times. She is a Feminist. Her husband is an Eskimo Union man who owns a commercial fisherman business. She is personally socially Conservative, but based on her performance as Governor, does not use her office to inflict those beliefs on her constituents. She has stated that she believes in Science and Evolution. In fact, her father was a Science Teacher and track coach, and her mother was a school librarian, so she likes books too."
Whoever "Littleisis" is, I hope she's right about these things. I'd love to see some rationality strike the actions of the Republicans (who, socially conservative as they might personally be, oughtta get with the times and stop legislating other people's right to choose right out from under them) even if only accidentally.

More Big Rodents
Wet Muskrat:
This morning I ended up waking early and took a trip to EPCAL for birds and hopefully a shot at some skunks or other mammals that may be hanging around. Along River Rd., next to the entrance of the golf course I spotted a muskrat along the banks of the very swollen Peconic River - it quickly slipped into the water and I was able to get 1 decent shot before it dove under and slipped into a culvert to head east down the river.
Just when I was ready to leave EPCAL after a less than great outing I spotted something brown in the median and when I pulled up I saw it was a Groundhog (aka woodchuck) who had just emerged from his/her den. The groundhog had quite a bit of patience and showed off nicely for me which was a good change from past experiences with this species. The Groundhog is most often seen on Long Island on the side of highways where there is plentiful food (grasses) and they prefer edge habitat (where woods meet grasses). Suffice to say, photographing a groundhog on the side of the LIE is not an ideal situation, so to find one along the runway was a good surprise. I stumbled upon another den on the other side of the runway which is likely that of another groundhog - but could be that of a red fox which I'm sure utilize the site as it appears to be plentiful in food and acreage.
There certainly is a resemblance to the Muskrat in my previous post with this over-sized teeth:

The print release of My Boyfriend's an Alien is today (31st January). So if print is your format of choice, you can get your copy now.
It has been available for pre-order from Totally Bound for a little while so here is the link.
Yesterday I was given the heads up on the first review of this book and much to my relief it is a good one. Actually, no, it's a great one.
Gabbi at Top 2 Bottom Reviews has reviewed the book and calls it "a must read for any science fiction/romance reader!" and says it is "Highly Recommended!"
You can read the full review here.
I have to say that after so many bad reviews last year, and in particular complaints about poor world building, I was very worried about whether this book would get the same sort of comments. The remarks so far, both this review and from the odd reader who has got in touch, are that I have at least improved in this regard for this book. *breathes sigh of relief*
No news as yet on my mermen ménage story. Starting to get a little worried actually on that one, but hope to hear soon.
I did manage to get the djinn story sent in before deadline for the open call. Still not sure whether I should have done or not. It was written so quickly it just felt rushed. Of course, if it is accepted, then I can spend a lot of time working on any lingering issues of that nature during edits, but in the meantime I am waiting on news on that one too.


text: Adolf Schreyer (German, 1828-1899) Best known as a Romantic painter of exotic scenes and battles, Schreyer is also considered by many German art historians as an important forerunner of Realism and Impressionism in that country. Born in Frankfurt, Schreyer first studied at the Städel Institute there. His teacher was Jakob Becker (1810 -1872), himself a noted painter of landscapes and genre works who had trained in Düsseldorf. It was probably at Becker's urging that Schreyer soon moved to the more progressive academy in Düsseldorf, which at that time attracted artists from all over Europe and the United States. After a period of study at the Academy, Schreyer began his Wanderjahre, which took him throughout Europe during the political ferment of the late 1840s and early 1850s. By 1854, Schreyer was in the Crimean Peninsula, observing and illustrating scenes of the war that had broken out there between Russia and a coalition consisting of Great Britain, France, and Turkey. At the conclusion of the war, immortalized in Tennyson's poem "The Charge of the Light Brigade," the artist visited Syria and North Africa where he found the exotic subject matter that became central to many of his later paintings. Settling in Paris in 1862, the artist very soon developed his mature style, reflecting the dominance of such French artists as Eugene Delacroix (1798-1863) and Eugene Fromentin (1820-1876). Schreyer left Paris in 1870 due to the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, and returned to Germany where he settled in Cronberg, a summer resort and artists' colony in the Taunus Mountains outside Frankfurt, actively painting until his death in 1899. The artist was widely recognized and honored during his lifetime, being awarded medals for his paintings at Paris in 1864, 1865 and 1867, and at Munich in 1876.

The Best Ways To Reduce Weight Quickly And Safe - Exactly What To AvoidDay in and day out we hear a lot about various methods to slim down rapidly and quickly that we are left puzzled at the end of the day regarding exactly what actually works. When you approach the Web for help, the chances are, you will get back at more baffled. You will probably discover some crash diet plans or exercises that recommend you to consume your meals at an allotted time and if you don't you might simply interfere with the entire process of weight reduction. What most of us do not recognize is that it is not as challenging as the buzz produced around it.
Workout is the 2nd part of how to lose weight fast with diet and workout. You need to exercise about 4-5 times per a week. Your workout strategy need to consist of a cardiovascular activity, such as strolling, running, cycling, treking, swimming, and so on. You can work out on your own or attempt a video workout program. You can even join a class at your local gym or YMCA. In your journal you need to record your everyday workout by listing the number of calories you're burning. You should do an activity, such as running, which normally burns 300-350 calories per half hour.
Okay, do not plug your ears. I know you've heard it before however it's too essential to leave out: beverage great deals of water throughout the day, starting with as quickly as you get up.
Sure, it is really absolutely possible. It is really very possible and easy to shed excess weight rapidly with out adopting stiff diet programs which nobody can abide by with ease! You might be pleased to understand that you just do not require to diet vigorously in order to shed some pounds off your body. You'll have the ability to do it in a more healthy and less complex technique as well!
We have all tried it. All of us understand it does not work. Not so deep down, we have an understanding of that suggestions on how to lose weight rapidly is usually a difficult however fundamental love method of great diet plan, a basic workout program as well as a strong will to be effective.
2) Keep protein consumption high. Take in a minimum of 1 gram of protein per pound of lean body weight or body weight, in pounds. Make sure you're consuming at least 200 grams of protein from excellent whole total protein foods if you weight 200 pounds. Protein keeps metabolic process high allowing you to burn more fat. It also regulates temperature and appropriate functioning of the body while maintaining lean muscle mass. These aspects are very important for fat loss. You can likewise take in whey protein concentrate and/or isolate. Casein protein supplements are also another choice to obtain in some protein sources.
Drink as much water as you can - The body requires a great deal of water in order to work effectively. In this light, guarantee that you take at least 6 glasses of water daily. Take a glass of water when you get up, prior to you eat and after every meal.
In spite of all the draw-backs to weight-loss diets, I still attempt them. Why? Since "diet and exercise" are expected to be the best thing for my health. But those plateaus are miserable. You blake shelton weight loss supplement lose 10 pounds in a couple of weeks. You tell yourself that's ok, despite the fact that you believed you should have lost them in the very first week. Then, you keep consuming the bland, over-spiced food that you needed to invest your "extra time" preparing, and do not linked here lose anymore weight for 4 weeks. Condescending "specialists" tell you it's because you're developing muscle, and muscle weighs more than fat. I'm sorry, but walking a mile around the park every day is not developing that much muscle.

President Obama doesn't like the term "Red State" or "Blue State." Instead, people like him ask us to consider the "purple states." Of course, this is all just political rhetoric, but he may really be onto something. The polarization of the terms "red and blue states" arguably emanated and is most often found on the cable news networks. Coincidentally, that's probably where the average person's news consciousness is (no one buys papers, and it's easier to attach a face to a story with TV).
What am I talking about? Take a look at this map, provided by a University of Michigan study.
It's the 2008 Electoral Map. This is what you're used to when looking at maps of elections, at least in the most simplified way.
What's going on here? The author/creator of this map scaled the size of the states to be proportional to their number of electoral votes. That changes the way you look at it, huh?
Here's where I'm going with this: you can pick and choose maps to support your point of view the same way you can pull statistics to back up yourself. Omitting information isn't always lying or deception, or is it? (that's another monster entirely; please note my internet sarcasm)
It's easy to look at the first map, like many of us do, and think the Democrats are a bi-coastal party that will never have the in-between-states. When you look at the second map, that changes quite a bit. It is probably a more accurate representation of how Obama was able to win in 2008, despite seeing so much red in the middle.
Maps like the New York Times compiled after the 2008 election try to take the best of all worlds, providing 4 different views and ways to read the map. It's good, but it still doesn't do a justice to the actual implications a county of 32 people in Wyoming has on the election. That county is still bright red, and has a large surface area.

Palác Koruna, Václavské nám. 1, 110 00 Praha 1-Můstek, Czech Republic
El Emir is an upscale Lebanese restaurant in upscale mall in downtown Prague – they also have another location in downtown Prague. It looks authentic and has a lot of Arab customers. The menu is quite traditional and includes meats, salads, sandwiches, and spreads. They are pretty busy, but also quite slow. I have to wait at least 20 minutes for my food.
I get a Fattoush (CZK 135 or $5.60), which is relatively small and consists mainly out of lettuce, cucumber and green peppers – only a little piece of tomato. It has a nice dressing but the pieces of pita chips seem to be from a bag, not fresh. I also get a Falafel Sandwich (CZK 160 or $6.65) It's a big sandwich filled with a bit too soft but tasty falafels and some tomato, parsley and tahini.
Very acceptable if a bit too pricey for Prague.

My family is so wonderful! On Christmas Eve, I got to be with my dad's family, the Richards. That's always fun. We eat yummy steaks from Burbages and open presents from my grandparents. Then, we all go get dressed for the Christmas Eve service with Northwood Church. It was amazing, and I think that once the service was over, there was not a dry eye in the whole place! Even Billy cried, and he looked so handsome. It's fun when we dress up together.
On Christmas day, we made the trek up to Columbia, SC, to visit with my mom's side of the family. Her sister, Katie, just had a gorgeous little girl in November, Anna Kate, and it was so fun to see how much she had grown. And of course, her son, Adam, who is now a year and a half, was so fun and adorable. We ate prime rib and it was amazing.
I'd venture to say that my favorite part of this holiday season was the day after Christmas. Billy and I had made a date because we didn't get to see each other much over actual Christmas and we wanted to give each other our gifts. I was really nervous about the iPod classic I had gotten him; I'm not sure why... Anyway, when he got to my house and I came outside, there was this huge pile of snow in my front yard. Yep, snow! I had never made a snowman, and he knew that, so he found a way (I'm not going to tell you, you'll have to ask him) to get snow and bring it to me in our South Carolina weather (where it doesn't snow). So, we got off to making a snowman, and he was really little, but he was so cute. By the time we got back from our date (at California Dreaming) he was a lot littler than when we left, due to the warm weather we've been experiencing. But oh, was it wonderful and romantic and oh so fun. Anyway, he also got me 2 tickets to a harbor cruise, which I have always wanted to go on. I think we're going to go on Valentine's Day... I love being in love, and I love him so much! Christmas this year was amazing!!!!!

Taking It Seriously
When you come to worship me, who asked you to parade through my courts with all your ceremony? Stop bringing me your meaningless gifts... I want no more of your pious meetings. When you lift up your hands in prayer, I will not look. Though you offer many prayers, I will not listen, for your hands are covered with the blood of innocent victims. Wash yourselves and be clean! Get your sins out of my sight. Give up your evil ways. Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows.
Isaiah 1:12-13, 15-17
I don't think I have taken God very seriously. I am the perfect example of the first part of this passage. My worship is extravagant. People see that I am a follower of God through the services I attend, the excellence of my church, the relevance of our message in culture.... And somehow, when I read these verses, I feel like I am not even close to doing what God wants of me. My worship, though awesome and "pretty" is nothing at all. Not that I do not have this desire inside of me to please God and follow him, I do, really. But then, as I type that, I truly wonder, do I? I have been reading this book Red Letters that talks about really living out our faith, and not just in our "everyday Christian" ways. I can so tell myself that I am doing a good job. I do not watch things that I shouldn't. I have a pure relationship with my boyfriend. I encourage others to follow God and I live in a "righteous" manner. But there is so much that I am missing. I feel like the nation of Israel that God is addressing in this first chapter of Isaiah. He is saying to me, personally, that my worship, my acts, my ceremony, my committment, isn't enough. And I know that there are those out there that would comfort me and say, that yes, I am doing all I can, and I live a good life, because I have been that person to comfort others in their normalcy. I want to think that there is nothing to worry about because everybody can see that I am different, and that I try to "sin less". But I can't miss God's heartbeat in the last part of these verses, and I have to say that his heart is not in our ceremonies, not in our lifting of hands, not in the excellent environments we create for his worship. His heart is in our going and in our giving. And he takes it seriously. His words are strong and he repeats it over and over throughout the Bible. He calls his true followers not to make or put on a show for him, but to go and be like him. Worship, yes, is wonderful and an integral part of intimacy with our Maker, but I have to question myself if I can truly worship God in fullness if I am not going or doing the absolute most I can to "do good... help the oppressed... defend the cause of orphans... fight for the rights of widows..."
I'll end with this. When I think of giving, I wonder how much is enough. How much can I give to meet the "good Christian" quota? Well, I came upon this quote from C.S. Lewis, and it completely convicted my heart:
I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare.

There are so many reasons I have not blogged in months. As I will soon have LOTS of down time, I am going to try and do more. However, a breif list of why I haven't been blogging (and I will expand later):
1. Mononucleousis - This frustrating virus that has dragged itself out in my body for way to long.
2. Busyness- with school and work and being sick, blogging was not a priority
3. Conviction - this is definitely one I will back up later, but I have not blogged because I feel convicted about some things... mainly my motives for blogging and my recent attempt to shift my focus off of myself...
Anyway, I'm off today to get an ultrasound on my spleen... Cause of that number one...
More to come, later.

Looking at unmade science fiction, fantasy, horror and superhero films, television shows and episodes.
In February 2004 Kevin Smith was hired to write and direct a Green Hornet by Miramax president Harvey Weinstein. In March, Smith approached Jake Gyllenhaal.
When Britt Reid, the Green Hornet, is killed by the Black Hornet, it is up to his celebutante son to take over the role.
In February 2006, Smith's official website announced that he was no longer connected with the project.
In 2007 Seth Rogan became attached to the project, leading to the 2011 film.
In 2009 Dynamite Entertainment gained the licence for the Green Hornet comic book and approached Smith to write a story arc, but was busy and suggested they adapt his unused script instead. It became the first ten issues of their 2010 Green Hornet series.

Post by Adam Surak (thank you)
It looked just like another page in the middle of the night. One of the servers of our search API stopped processing the indexing jobs for an unknown reason. Since we build systems in Algolia for high availability and resiliency, nothing bad was happening. The new API calls were correctly redirected to the rest of the healthy machines in the cluster and the only impact on the service was one woken-up engineer. It was time to find out what was going on.

|Moo and Crew - The fan club.
|With some of my cute baby 1L dancers
Then, it was time to start prepping for the show. Five women and one bathroom is not a great ratio, but we made it work. I had to be at the bar a few hours before the show, so they went out to dinner and dropped me off.
The show was done and over before I knew it. We seemed to get a great reaction from the crowd and there were no "wardrobe malfunctions" (see glitter bras). I am so thankful to all the dancers who put in so much hard work and to Page, Shaun and Megaen who logistically pulled it all together. I am semi-sad that I won't be around to do Objection again next year, but I feel like I went out with a bang.
|Haley and I before the madness
Speaking of bangs, post show I over indulged to the point of knocking my delicate noggin on a rather hard surface. I very rarely drink, so it is safe to say that even a little alcohol would have been enough to get me tipsy. A few drinks more and I was simply a delight. Thank god my husband loves me, because it was a LONG night. I never want to see a cranberry vodka again!!! I am more than happy to return to my tea-totaling ways. You hear that booze?! We are through!

I'm on my school newspaper. So today I went over to my friends house for this little DIY nail project thing our paper is doing [which I will probably post at a later date]. But for a minute I got little sidetracked (OK, I got really sidetracked) and took some pictures of the nature in her back yard. It's one of those gardens in mid-blossom, just waiting for spring to hurry up so it can bloom:
And speaking of flowers, I can't help but think of them when I look at Erdem's Fall 2012 RTW. (Roll: mouth-watering) You?

My apologies on the lack of posts, it's been a crazy week at work (including driving to Albany at 5 am this morning), on top of the stress I'm experiencing through the whole wedding planning/house hunting process. Add some family drama on top of that, and I'm ready to call in for a mental health day! I should be back to normal by the weekend, and rest assured, I have some interesting post ideas bouncing around my head!
A sign that sunny days are ahead, Andrew just found out today that he got a raise! :)

The pergola that is ... by the way how do you say that word ...
per ... GOL .. a
3 hours ago
oooooooooh can't wait to see 'John's' Pergola.
Looks like you had a lovely break. Fun getting that pergola! I would go with either of the last 2 pronunciations! LOL! You mentioned going to rabbit to get pics done. Have you tried ordering them via them online and then going to pic up the pics from your local rabbit! I did it this way the other day and can highly reccomend it as you can sit at home working out all the pics you want printed, send it through and then they email you once it is ready for collection! It's great!

Well, I finally figured out how to get a little computer-y and add a couple social media links in my sidebar.
I'm still too cool for Facebook. My friends and family will never stop bugging me on this one, but I'm not convinced there is anyone out there who cares that I picked my nose this morning or wants to see a photo of my grilled cheese sandwich, so I won't be jumping on the Twitter or Facebook bandwagon anytime soon (sorry to anyone who love hearing about nose picking). As for Instagram, I'm still rocking a dumb-phone that won't send photos cause we're too
broke frugal to get a data plan, so you won't see a link for that one either.
I've had a Pinterest account for a little while now, but didn't really have the time to use it. I've decided its time to start. Please follow my Pinterest page, and I promise to update it with all my projects along with all the cool stuff I see out there in Blogland. I've also included a link to my Google+ profile and an email link. You should test out my geek abilities and use them!

Unfortunately, things did not turn out the way I wanted it to. Two deaths in the family have made it impossible for me and my husband to be together this year. He had to go home to attend a funeral, and I had to stay here to attend my Dad's funeral. I also decided that I have to maximize my stay here in the country since it would be a few years before I can come home again. It will take some time for me to get settled overseas and while Im here, I prefer to spend as much quality time with my family.
I miss my Dad and the holidays when he was around. I didnt expect that 2006 would be the last
Christmas I would ever spend with him. If I did, I would have given him anything he asked for (that my money can buy). But life is like that. YOu wont really know. Thats why its always ideal to give your best to the people you love.
My Christmas may not be perfect like I planned and hoped it would be, but there are things to be grateful for. I am blessed to have a wonderful husband waiting for me. I am happy also to celebrate the holidays with my 3 nephews and niece. And I thank God for the internet! free gmail calls in the US! phonelines are congested right now but at least I get to greet my friends and family a Merry Christmas.
Here is a song for the people I cant share Christmas with right now. Mushy but oh so apt.
Merry Christmas Everyone!

There's speculation as to whether Disney has done some digital futzing with Lindsay Lohan's appearance in the upcoming (and unquestionably evil) Herbie: Fully Loaded. The story goes that moms in a test audience felt Lohan's chestular area was dangerously close to being 3-D. Of course were the movie being shot now there'd be no problem since Lohan more closely resembles Jack Skellington.
Studio executives of course denied that any last-minute adjustments to the starlet's appearance had been made, but what were they really going to say? "Yes, Ms. Lohan's chest took up far too much screen space so we just, you know, fixed the glitch." Defamer has some great comparison pictures for those interested.

After her run and all the fundraising Sarah has a few words to say to all of you who donated and are still donating to the CF Trust:
Well, you all probably now know that I completed it! Yay! Although I had trained hard, I am still amazed I actually crossed the finish line. I was so nervous but it was amazing to see my surprise visitors, Rach and Rob at the start line, this probably made me more nervous haha!!
The course itself took me ages! 2 hours, 50 minutes and 48 seconds to be precise. It just over 10 minutes under my secret and personal 3 hour goal so I was chuffed. Most of the photos taken after show me looking completely and utterly amazed and full of sugar….. and ahem….. a lot goofy! I ached a lot on Monday, I struggled with the stairs on Tuesday, and today I don't feel too bad at all, (yes I am shocked too!), it has all been so very worth it.
I can't thank you all enough for your very kind donations. They are still coming in today which is both overwhelming and amazing. Between receiving them and watching DIY SOS tonight I am feeling extremely emotional about it all! I look at the running total with tears in my eyes. It's at an amazing £1014.50!!!! This is an incredible amount and extremely vital to The CF Trust for their ongoing research. Truly I can't stop smiling! Thank you again!
In regards to next year's fundraiser, it is already under way! It is a completely different approach to the fundraising I have done for The CF Trust so far. My friend Becky has had a dream of arranging a charity wedding ball for quite some time. Although it is predominantly her project, I will be helping her out. She has kindly said she would like The CF Trust to benefit from the ball along with three other charities. If anyone would like tickets or further information, please let me know.
Thank you again everyone so so much,
If you would like to still donate or read more about this fundraising challenge please go to THIS website!

I sketched A U (pronounced hey you) while he sat patiently on mother's lap during on a road trip through the mountains. We even walked through an arts and crafts store called the APPLE SHED. Of course A U got all the attention. However; he didn't sit so still for his first portrait. A U lives at the SHORT-A-HORSE ranch.

Today was so fun for our last lesson of the term. We did our routine for "Bring me to life" and for our warm up with did a lot of core things. Then Sarah decided that we should do some acrobatics as Tom and few others voted for it. It went well and I didn't do too bad, but Tom landed on his shoulder funny and had to go to A&E, however he is alright.

Although it sounds cliche, pay-it-forward is the approach I take in most things I do. This especially applies to teaching and working with youth. I guess it's my way of paying tribute to the people who saw beyond my mistakes and through my insecurities and
poor self-image. These people consist of the "others" in my life. The ones who had the heart and foresight to look past everything within myself I perceived to be negative. The ones who refused and refuted my excuses, who saw and drew out qualities and abilities I didn't know I possessed.
The "Why" statement for my life is this. "I want to help young people not make the same mistakes I made…to help them discover, develop, and deploy their own value and sense of purpose in life. I want every youth with whom I have contact to know they are valuable and have purpose and something meaningful to offer this world." I am confident that emulating and honoring the memory of loving, supportive "others" in my life is the strategy that will propel me to success in my endeavor to make a difference in the lives of young people.
I consider myself to have achieved success and happiness in life. For this, I am grateful to God and appreciative for the "others" He has placed on my path. I know,
without doubt, that every measure of accomplishment I have achieved or will ever obtain is due, in no small part, to the "others" who have answered the call to pour and sow into my life. One of my prime goals, now, is to honor my "others" by answering my own call to be an "other" to as many people as I can. From my perspective, this is how we overcome evil by doing good. And…isn't this exactly what the world we live in needs?
When we fight hatred with hatred, hatred wins. Hate focuses on what is negative…the differences between us. Not only that, it thrives and feeds on negatives and differences. Love, on the other hand, looks past the negative and promotes the positive. Love sees how we are all similar and how we are all connected. Love is what motivated the "others" in my life to look past my differences and negatives. The love OF "others" FOR "others" is the only thing that will make a meaningful difference in our world. I know I now have a responsibility to those who have sown into my life to sow into the lives of others. This is how the movements of Paying-It-Forward and Honoring-The-Others combine to perpetuate the power of goodness. By taking responsibility and showing gratitude for being the beneficiary of the goodness of others in your life.
And…if you're being honest, you would have to recognize that you have had them, too. Do some self-reflection. Think about the people who saw good in you when nobody else did. Not even you. Think about those people who didn't give up on you when everybody else did. Even you. Think about those people who looked past the mistakes and failures, who, when you fell, extended their hand to lift you up one more time. These are the "others" in your life. Write their names down. List their contributions to your life. If they are still alive, thank them. Then… GO…
…do the same for someone else.
Peace and blessings…

Gale. (Gail?)
All of these and probably more have been used at least once in place of my actual name. (which is "Hope", by the way. In case that wasn't clear.) Most commonly used are Faith and Holly for obvious reasons; including, but not limited to, simple association. I practically answer to Faith because it's easy enough to gather that they mean me, I mean they're looking at me and directing their voice at me, right? Faith is close enough. And I'm getting used to Holly. I really like the name so I don't mind being associated with it.
'Gale/Gail' was weird. I think it was because I had a best friend in private school named Gail and maybe our teacher got us mixed up. I dunno.
'Harp' is more of a tongue-twister than a name mishap. It happens more often than you'd think. People see that I play the instrument. "Harp" and "hope" are two four-letter words that begin with H. Chaos ensues.
'Pope' was the dumbest thing I've ever experienced and totally humiliating for both myself and the perpetrator. It was sixth or seventh grade I believe and we were in Music Class playing a get-to-know-you game involving sitting in a circle and using people's names. The resident popular cheerleading blonde crony was taking a turn and attempted to send the "ball" to my court by calling out, "Pope."
Naturally, I didn't answer. People were confused. She was staring at me. "Pope? That's your name right?" Doubt crept into her face as I just sat dumbfounded and she mumbled apologetically, "Sorry, I wasn't sure...it sounded like..."
Pope? As in the head of the catholic church? My parents are neither hicks nor celebrities, so NO. My name is NOT "Pope".
'Paige' is happening because the girl who previous-previously filled my current position was named Paige. So that makes sense. Luckily, she was an excellent worker and well-liked so I can at least be complimented by that.
I mention all this because here's where I take issue with people calling me by a wrong name. If you've been repeating "Paige" or "Faith", or what have you, over and over again and finally are almost about to shout it before I realize somebody sounds like a parrot, turn around, and meet your gaze; please understand that I have no idea you've been saying that name for 2 minutes straight because it's not my name.
That's not my name!
I do not respond to it.
It doesn't register in my brain.
Heck, 'hope' barely registers because, go figure, it's an actual word used quite often in the English language so I learned early on to not jump to attention every time it graces my ears. So why make it awkward for all of us and be pissed off that I didn't answer, or a weird combination of mad and embarrassed (mostly with yourself) that I now have to play off as coolly as I can? Don't make me do that.
Just chuckle at yourself, and wave me over.
No hard feelings.
Disclaimer: This is in no way a pointed remark at anyone in particular (except you blonde cheerleader from middle school) (just a little bitter humor) and what I'm hoping to get across is that I'm totally laid back about my name and I take no offense when/if you call me something other than "Hope".
I've been called much, much worse, I assure you.
<mysterious eyebrows and sultry wink>
<I don't know what I meant by that>

|Of Tower and Arches
"Of Tower and Arches," another photograph taken by my son Keir M. Gatzka. This was taken on April 1st, 2013. Using our Canon Rebel XTI in Manual focus, he set the focal point to the right hand side with depth of field more noticeable on the left.
I did my workflow in Corel PSP Pro X3 - Noise Removal, Smart Photo Fix, upped the color, Saturation Vibrancy set at 35. I added a KPT Collections LensFlare for the "sunlight" in the sky through the clouds.
I added full credit to Keir for this photograph, though I did the digital processing. I added his copyright and name using the Text feature of PSP Pro X3, and re-sized for display there as well.
As you can see this is a incredible old building with it's arches and tower. If it could only talk, the stories it would tell!

Just as I said Mr. Gary did have a few thoughts about the MacBook Air and he should know since he is the leading authority on all things Apple and is constantly trying to convert us! But today Mr. Gary thought of a splendid idea. Why not patent a circulating envelope soft case to put the Air in? Not too bad. You know, just like what they have on the commercials. Clever? No. Brilliant was his answer. Gosh, Mr. Gary never ceases to amaze us!

United States District Court, D. Colorado
January 30, 2015
ANN MARIE JULIE MEDINA, and SAMUEL MEDINA, JR., Plaintiffs,v.WERNER ENTERPRISES, INC., Defendant.
KATHLEEN M. TAFOYA, Magistrate Judge.
This case comes before the court on "Defendant's Motion to Dismiss Pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6)." (Doc. No. 22, filed July 14, 2014.) For the following reasons, the court recommends that Defendant's Motion to Dismiss be GRANTED.
Generally, Plaintiffs allege that Defendant violated their rights when it refused to hire Plaintiff Julie Medina because she is disabled. The following factual background is taken from Plaintiffs' Complaint and Jury Demand. (Doc. No. 1 [Compl.].)
In May 2008, Ms. Medina underwent a shoulder surgery to replace her shoulder joint. (Compl. ¶ 10.) Later, in September 2008, Ms. Medina underwent a "neck infusion." ( Id. ) Finally, in March 2009, Ms. Medina was diagnosed with arthritis and completely deteriorated joints in her hand and thumb, due to her long-time occupation as a hair stylist. ( Id. ) In an effort to improve these medical issues, Ms. Medina received ongoing medical treatment and physical therapy for several years. ( Id. )
After her treatment, Ms. Medina participated in a vocational rehabilitation service to help her find a different occupation because she could no longer be employed as a hair stylist. ( Id. ¶ 11.) In September 2012, a vocational rehabilitation specialist informed Ms. Medina that she could work in the trucking industry with her disabilities, so long as she was trained and licensed into that field. ( Id. )
In October 2012, Ms. Medina and her husband, Plaintiff Samuel Medina, Jr., enrolled at the United States Truck Driving School in Colorado with the intention of "team driving" trucks together. ( Id. ¶ 12.) On October 20, 2012, in their first week of attendance at the school, Plaintiff's applied for employment with Defendant with the assistance of "Brad, " one of Defendants' recruiters. ( Id. ¶ 14.) On October 26, 2012, Plaintiffs received a letter stating that they were "pre-hired" as "team drivers" by Defendant. ( Id. )
In November 2012, Plaintiffs completed their coursework at the United States Truck Driving School. ( Id. ¶ 15.) Shortly thereafter, Plaintiffs completed orientation and passed a test, both of which were required prior to being fully hired by Defendant. ( Id. )
Shortly after completing orientation, Ms. Medina was notified by Defendant that she would not be hired. ( Id. ¶ 16.) Defendant did not provide any explanation for this decision. ( Id. ) Plaintiffs maintain that because they were originally pre-hired as a team, and they wanted to remain a team, Defendants effectively did not hire Mr. Medina. ( Id. )
On January 25, 2013, Mr. Medina attended a recruiting event to search for employment with other trucking companies. ( Id. ¶ 17.) At the event, Mr. Medina spoke with Brad, who stated that he was "sad that they could not hire [Ms. Medina] because of her disability." ( Id. ) When Mr. Medina inquired as to what he meant, Brad informed Mr. Medina that Defendant refused to hire individuals with disabilities or individuals who were receiving disability assistance. ( Id. ¶ 18.) Brad further stated that Defendant was informed that Ms. Medina was receiving disability and that, as a consequence, Defendant was unable to hire her. ( Id. )
Based on the facts recited above, Plaintiffs' Complaint asserts five claims for relief. Plaintiffs' first and second claims allege that Defendant violated the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. § 12101, et seq., as amended by the ADA Amendment Act of 2008 (collectively, the "ADA"). Plaintiffs' third, fourth, and fifth claims are state law claims for intentional infliction of emotional distress, breach of contract, and violations of the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA), Colo. Rev. Stat. § 24-34-401, et seq., respectively.
Defendant's Motion to Dismiss argues that Plaintiffs' second, third and fourth claims are properly dismissed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) for failure to state a claim for relief.[1] Plaintiffs' Response to Defendant's Motion to Dismiss was filed on August 4, 2014 (Doc. No. 25) and Defendant's Reply was filed on August 14, 2014 ...

Sorry for the dearth of posts but sometimes I'm just not moved to say anything, so I don't. Please know that I continue to keep all of your intentions in my heart and before the Lord every day at Mass and Adoration. I'm also very busy getting ready for the prom, the wedding and the impending job search of my youngest, my oldest and my middle child, in that order.
I had a very lovely but busy Mother's Day. I hosted dinner this year because my father will never agree to going out to dinner and I didn't want my mother saddled with cooking. I did all of the preparation Sunday evening so I could just pop things in the oven, but I still wound up spending the entire afternoon in the kitchen. Before that, I went for a long walk in the morning, had a delicious breakfast courtesy of my husband and then off to the Noon TLM. The Saturday evening before we attended the Novus Ordo as a family (well, four of the five of us did) and took part in the annual parish May devotion to Mary.
By the time I got to Mass yesterday, I was already feeling kind of beat and I'm sure this contributed to the sadness that struck me as I communicated with Jesus. It is my habit to conceal my face in my hands with my eyes closed so I can drown out every distraction, and so it was yesterday. I was thinking of how Easter would soon be over, and how ironic it is that as the Church enters Ordinary Time, the Archdiocese begins announcing clerical changes. I started thinking of the implications those changes could hold for our parish, but how our focus must always be on Christ. I was thinking of how the oldest is soon to marry, outside of the Church, and wondering what more I could or should have done. I can't think of ever feeling so overcome at Holy Communion, and being somewhat lost in my own emotions, I hardly noticed what happened. I felt someone slip their arm around my waist and pull me gently towards them for just a moment.
Someone obviously knew I needed a hug. I did, and I'm very grateful to whatever person or benevolent being saw fit to give me one.
The novena to St. Rita began today. In addition to my own personal intentions, I am asking her to intercede on behalf of the boy who went missing in Florida and for a cousin who is awaiting test results for a brain tumor. (I don't know what's going on but it seems like every time I turn around someone else is battling a brain tumor). For the first time in a few months, I was too tired to get up to go to my usual early morning Mass, so I went a little later at another parish. It is my intention to try to get to at least the novena prayers each day if not a second Mass. ( I will only receive Holy Communion once, however, and make a spiritual Communion if I go to two Masses.)
I am growing increasingly fond of my future son-in-law, who shows a greater interest in Catholicism than his future wife does. He is respectful and asks some very thoughtful questions. We spent about an hour after dinner yesterday discussing the sanctity of life and Catholicism in general and I can tell from previous conversations that he will give what we spoke about much consideration. In getting through to him, I will get through to my daughter, who I love very much and will not surrender to life outside the Church without great effort.
During the novena, we pray to St. Rita:
"By the surrender of your children, rather than have them offend God, obtain our request for us".
I know this wife, mother and Augustinian nun will hear my prayers, as well as yours.

Since Ada has been introduced into the world of youtube videos of furry little kittens and puppies in swimming pools, it has been difficult for me to spend much time on the computer, much less writing an entire blog post about how everything went during Ada's sugeries last Friday.
And after what she's been through, I don't have the heart to tell her no when those big weepy eyes pint toward my open laptop screen and pitifully say "kitty. kitty"
But right now she is peacefully sleeping, for the moment. She has been waking up crying most days since the surgery, but not too bad. Last night was three or four times.
So onto what everyone wants to know.
We got in the car at 5 am from my mother's house in Raleigh to get to Duke Children's Hospital in Durham. Ada last nursed at around 3 am, putting us just barely in the time bracket allowed. It was fine anyway, because though we were the first scheduled surgery to arrive, Ada didn't actually get put under unti about 7:30 or 8.
She waited in our tiny little room pretty well, getting antsy after a while and pulling at her hospital gown. It was too large. Eventually a nurse noticed her protest and told us she's find a smaller one and we could take it off, but to please leave on her diaper. Ada doesn't wear diapers since she was a diaper free baby (see posts on elimination communication) so we kept on her underwear. That made her unhappy to.
The anesthesiologist's assistant told us she could be naked and they didn't care. She asked if she could slip on a pull-up after she was out because we told her she would protest to a diaper and I said sure.
Leave it to one of my kid's to even charm everyone into going into a surgery naked. Seriously. The reason I hardly ever share pictures of them online is because they never have on clothes.
The dentist and her pedistric GI, the two doing the procedures came with us and we had papers to sign. That may have been one to the hardest signatures to give. Payman made me do it. You have to sign that you understand, essentially, that there is a chance your child will die because you give consent for them to be put under general anesthesia. And with the endoscopy you are signing that you understand her stomach could be punctured.
These are small chances, but I feel confidant that I'm not the only parent that takes a deep breath and tries not to think about it, hurriedly scrawling her name and remembering that this choice has been scrutinized and weighed over and over.
I had been told during the tour that at this point Ada would be wheeled away from me and that occassionally the anesthesiologist will give a baby something to make them loopy so that they do not cry a they are wheeled away from me. This would be the hardest part. Letting her get wheeled away from me. I knew she would panic but certainly didn't want to ask for yet another drug in her system.
The dentist had told me that we had an anestesiologist that was good with kids.
He brought me disposable scrubs and told me to get ready to go back.
"I get to go back there??" I asked.
"You are invited to go back, but you don't have to," he said.
Before even considering Payman I said "Yes I'm coming." Payman didn't want to go back anyway, I don't think.
Who could possibly choose to let their kid get wheeled away crying or drugged up when they had the chance to be there!
We wrapped her up in the blanket we'd brought from home and I followed them as they practically jogged down several minutes of hallways. Yeah. Ada would have been a mess through this.
When we got to the small, scary looking operating room full of stuff from the TV show "ER", I asked if I needed to put her down and she grabbed me tightly.
He said, "No just cradle her and let's wrap her hands under the blanket so she can't pull the mask off. He pretended to eat her toes to try to distract her and put the mask on. She cried and struggled of course but was asleep in my arms in a matter of seconds. I was in disbelief at how fast it was.
They were urging me to put her on the table while I was still registering that that was it, at least as far as the getting her under part was concerned. It was a tad eerie, actually, to see her that limp, unnaturally limp, after 10 seconds or so.
But they needed to get on with it and I was ushered out of the room, but not before the assistant turned Ada's cheek to me and told me to kiss it.
I was fighting tears as a new nurse guided me back (and you without a doubt needed a guide through this maze) to the parent's waiting room, where we stayed to await hourly calls on how she was doing. I had told myself beforehand not to fight tears, that there was nothing from with being emotional in this situation, regardless of how weird our society gets when people cry in public.
But as I told Payman the story I just leaned over her blanket and let it out. I think part of it was relief that this hurdle was jumped. But I knew, from talking to other mothers, that it was sometimes harder when they came out of it, so I was ready for that, and I had four hours to go.
Nothing can prepare you for seeing your little kid's face all swollen up. The dentist had said "Now, her top lip will be a little swollen, so just expect that, and it will cause her some pain." A little swollen lady? Are you serious?? It was easier for me than Payman though, as Ada melted in my arms minutes after waking up, and I couldn't really even see her face. She said "Momma, ow, momma, ow" in a heart-breaking little scrape of a voice, her throat sore from the endoscopy and her mouth clear swollen and painful from 3 hours of dental work.
She happily drank down some water and then nursed, promptly falling to sleep. She kept gagging, as the experiance makes most people nauseated, but that lessened and lessened. She slept for several hours, through getting her in the car and back to my mom's house to pack and get Azita. We had considered staying but both had the overwhelming desire to be at home, comforting her in her own bed.
She woke up then, clearly hungry, but in too much pain for applesauce or nursing. Naturally, we stopped at Whole Foods and bought her coconut milk ice cream, which she enjoyed. And it helped the swelling. And Azita scarfed down her choice of coconut ice cream: chocolate.
Ada was so exhausted she could barely sit straight. She fell asleep in the car at 5:30 and slept until the next morning. She nursed several times throughout the night.
The beautiful thing about nursing is that when a child is sick or in pain, if you can at least get them to sleep, it seems you can get them fed. I don't know how a baby eats in this situation when they don't nurse. I guess you can bottle feed them while sleeping? I don't know. But I do know Ada natural instincts allowed her to get sustenance and avoid dehydration and wake up less miserable than she would have otherwise.
I think nursing might have been a powerful factor in letting her sleep as well as she did.
Now she is mostly better. The last few days it has been more like she has a cold, slightly irritable, but really not that bad. Not as bad as it could be.
We just simply feel we have a lot to be grateful for. I'll lay out the results of her procedures in the next post.
Just grateful that she was able to get this type of care at a place like Duke, with an anesthesiologist that really seemed to value the mother-baby bond and encouraged me to nurse right when she woke up, rather than insisting on 7up or apple juice. Sometimes it seems like doctors or dentists feel the mother is getting in the way and would rather have the kid upset for a few minutes while they do their job. But this guy clearly seemed happiest when Ada was happiest.

This week I've been running around to all the classes in our elementary and middle schools to talk about the summer reading program. Between all the classes, I think I've talked to over 500 kids. Add that to all the preschools and daycares I covered in the last couple weeks, and I think I've seen just about every kid under the age of 14 that lives in our area at least once this month.
We are doing the theme "One World, Many Stories" for our summer reading program this year. Cool storytimes, fun prizes, and all that usual stuff (check it out on our website for more details). But what I'm really excited about is that we're working to put together a book of real-life stories from members of our community - both adults and kids. Got a great story? Please send it in to me!
We did an abbreviated storytime this week, since I talked to the kids here about the summer reading program as well. I did tell them a true story about myself as a child (involving a couple toads and the gas tank of a lawnmower) and then did a few stories from around the world.
Everywhere the Cow Says "Moo!" by Ellen Slusky Weinstein
A fun book that I've done before where we learn what cats, dogs, frogs, and other animals say in Spanish, French, and Japanese. After each animal, I let the kids repeat the animal noise, and we all join in on "And everywhere, the cow says Moo!"
Similar, but not quite as fun are the books Yum! Yuck! A Foldout Book of People Sounds and Mung-Mung: A foldout Book of Animal Sounds both by Linda Sue Park. It's interesting how the same concept of different sounds in each language can be such a hit or miss. The kids I read these books to didn't seem to "get" the sounds were in different languages, and they were presented on the page in such a way that it didn't lend itself to the "kid chorus" like the Weinstein book.
I also wanted to do a little storytelling, so in addition to my own story, I read a few selections from Three Minute Tales: Stories from around the World To Tell When the Time is Short by Margaret Read MacDonald. We didn't have this at our library, so I got it through ILL (I just love that service). There are great stories in here for all ages, all of them perfect for those with short-attention spans like my toddlers & preschoolers, or more thoughtful tales that just happen to be shorter. I need to get a copy of this book for myself.
We told stories during craft time - I let the kids write down or tell me stories for our book if they wanted to do it. Otherwise, I put down paper on the tables and let them draw whatever they wanted to. Always nice to have an very open-ended activity once in a while.
This theme was used the week of May 30, 2011.Next week we'll start our world tour for summer reading, starting with Norway.

And You Thought Corn was Good for You.
Posted November 12, 2008on:
- In: animals | environment | food

Ah, corn! It was the first vegetable I ever fell in love with, when I was just a youngster hiding 'eaten' peas in my napkin at the dinner table.
But what of this? It sounds like corn is a huge contributor to our poor diets (if we're fast-food consumers). And it promotes environmental damage!? See "Fast Food: Just Another Name for Corn" via Wired.com.
After seeing this, I may have to give more thought to all those 'fresh/quick' fast-food chains that claim to be healthy, nutritious, and natural (i.e. Panera, one of my favorites). While food on menus may sound appealing, we should really consider the source and diet of the animals that we're about to consume.
In truth, this makes me more nervous than mad cow scares.
5 Responses to "And You Thought Corn was Good for You."
Wow, I had no idea how huge this was.
due to the busy schedules from work, most people would just prefer to eat on fastfoods '
fast foods are of course very popular these days because the price is cheap and there are lots of menu to choose from _
i have a very busy lifestyle too, and i would always frequently eat on Fastfoods ',;
of course when you dont have time to cook, fastfoods would always be the best option '""

Posted: August 22, 2012
A 41-year Bensalem school district employee is charged with stealing more than $400,000 worth of truck tires and other auto parts over more than a decade and selling them for an annual profit of at least $20,000.
Frederick Lange, of Karen Court in Croydon, who turns 68 Thursday, is the lead mechanic and shop foreman for the district. He allegedly took the stolen items to his home during lunch breaks and at the end of his workday and arranged for their sale during work hours, according to police.
Lange was arraigned before Newtown District Judge Donald Nasshorn Tuesday on three, third-degree felony charges of theft by unlawful taking, criminal use of a communications facility and receiving stolen property. Each charge carries a maximum penalty of seven years in prison. He was sent to Bucks County prison in lieu of $200,000/10 percent bail.
The arrest was the result of an ongoing investigation involving the district's school bus garage, according to a probable cause affidavit.
|Frederick Lange
Bensalem police received "credible" information from three confidential sources that a mechanic known as "Fred" had been stealing truck tires, batteries, brakes and other auto accessories for 10 to 12 years, according to the affidavit.
On Monday, a police officer observed Lange's 2004 GMC pickup truck at 7 a.m. at the school bus garage parking lot. About 55 minutes later, Lange was observed leaving the garage property in a blue district van, according to the affidavit.
The van was followed to his home and stayed there about two minutes. After the district van left the house, Lange was followed back to the bus garage. Immediately after the school van left Lange's home, police said, they went to his property and saw two new truck tires with labels and stickers attached.
Later Monday, while conducting surveillance at Lange's home, a maroon van was seen backing into the driveway. The van driver and Lange were observed moving truck tires from the rear of the property to the parked van, according to the affidavit.
Police detained both men and took them to police headquarters. The tires were seized and confirmed to be Bensalem School District property, police said.
During a police interview, Lange admitted the tires at his house were stolen from the Bensalem School District. He also told police that he had been involved in an "ongoing pattern" of theft for the last 10 to 14 years, during which he stole auto parts every month, according to the affidavit.
Among the items Lange admitted stealing: heavy and medium duty truck tires, batteries, brake pads, maxi brake chambers and transmission fluid and filters, according to the affidavit.
He told police he had sold about 100 newly purchased school district tires each year for the last 10 years, and estimated he earned a profit of $20,000 to $27,000 a year from the sale of the stolen property, the affidavit said.
He also told police he made many of the transactions and agreements to sell the stolen items during his scheduled work hours using his cellphone, the affidavit said.
A Bensalem School District spokeswoman Tuesday declined to say Lange is still an employee, calling the matter personnel related.
In a statement, district officials noted that, in June, the school board retained the private accounting and advisory firm EisnerAmper LLP to conduct a forensic audit and operational review of designated departments in the wake of recent misconduct by district employees.
The district also stated that "new controls" have been put into effect immediately, though the statement did not say what those measures are.
"We believe these activities, while reprehensible, if found to be true, would soon have been detected because of the board's proactive stance," the statement said. "The taxpayers of Bensalem deserve to have full accountability of their tax dollars and the board is committed to ensuring that the taxpayers are protected and the laws of Pennsylvania will be fully enforced."
In May, the district confirmed information that some facilities department employees allegedly had falsified time records. Two employees resigned and one retired, Superintendent David Baugh said. No one has been charged.

Hipercept Expands Services to Support Private Equity Companies
Hipercept is pleased to announce the expansion of its existing services to formally support Private Equity companies. With this service line, Hipercept will leverage its global infrastructure to provide a suite of managed services to the Alternative Investment industry.
Since its creation in 2009, Hipercept has engaged with numerous Private Equity and large multi-asset clients. Focusing on Private Equity as an asset class has become both an opportunity and a strategic necessity.
"Private market players, either from the investor community or from a fund management perspective, have diversified with multi-asset investment strategies," says Damien Georges, CEO of Hipercept. "This has naturally led Hipercept in the same direction. When it comes to technology strategy, data governance or managed services opportunities, we see a lot of similarities between alternative assets especially at the fund and investor levels; we see a real opportunity to leverage our existing experience with client and are very excited to add private equity as an alternative asset to our services offering."
The expansion to Private Equity as an asset class will be led by Xavier Joly. With nearly 15 years of experience selling software solutions to the Alternative Investment industry, Xavier has managed large multi-asset clients, Public and Private Pension Funds, Family Office, General Partners, Fund of Funds and Fund Administrators with requirements covering fund raising, portfolio management, fund and asset performance, risk management and Partnership Accounting.
