Matagalls peak
Matagalls is one of the three highest peaks in the Montseny Massif, located approximately 80km north of Barcelona, Spain.
I was glad to discover that my town's local mountaineering club is setting up a hike to this famous mountain.
The trek itself turned out to be very approachable: the car parking is located at approximately 1100m, so there is only 500m of altitude change to the very top, the ascent was very direct, mildly intense and very pleasant because of the excellent weather.

A lot of space at the top.

Maykel Roovers explores the innocence of a child with Critical Blocks Miniature World toys, experimenting to see what children would do when given toys that reflect society's troubles.
Shaped like a nuclear power plant, one of the biggest concerns worldwide, the Critical Blocks Miniature World toys are designed from multiple wooden pieces that are snapped together to create a mini nuclear plant. Though the toys reflect an underlying concern, the soft wooden finishes and detailed etchings create an innocent playground for children who enjoy assembling their own toys. Maykel Roovers appropriately names the playground as Critical Blocks, suggesting that through these building blocks, parents can bring awareness to their children, even at a young age, of the dangers and irreversible destruction of these explosive weapons can have.

On Monday May 11th, Dr. Phil is weighing in on the disappearance of missing teenager Brittanee Drexel.
It's a story that has parents hugging their children a little tighter. Seventeen-year-old Brittanee Drexel recently went to Myrtle Beach for spring break against her parents' wishes, and she hasn't been seen since. Did the high school junior run away, or is something more sinister behind her disappearance?

Getting Around Boston
Conveniently located in Boston's Back Bay, the BU campus is close to all of the cultural and recreational attractions that the city has to offer. Whether you choose to walk, bike, or ride the "T," you'll find it easy to find your way around town during the summer.
Boston has a comprehensive public transportation system known as the "T." There are bus lines, trolleys, and subway trains running throughout the city.
Boston has a very compact downtown area, making it easy to get around by foot, bike, or via public transportation. From the BU campus, you can easily follow the Charles River Esplanade to the Hatch Shell for a free concert, or walk along tree-lined Commonwealth Avenue to the Boston Common for a theater performance. If you enjoy exploring the nooks and crannies of historic neighborhoods, Beacon Hill is a short walk or T-ride away from campus. In Boston's North End you will find street festivals and delicious Italian cuisine and pastries.
Although students are welcome to bring cars to campus, in most cases a car is not necessary or recommended in Boston. Parking is always a challenge in the city, though students who decide to drive may purchase a parking permit from Boston University.
Arrival in Boston
Whether you arrive in Boston at Logan Airport, or by train or bus at South Station, it is easy to get to the Boston University campus by public transportation or taxi. You can find directions to campus here.
Boston University Shuttle - The BUS
Traveling between the Boston University Charles River and Medical Campus is easy using the Boston University Shuttle (BUS). The BUS departs from 33 Harry Agganis Way on the Charles River Campus and ends at 710 Albany Street on the Medical Campus, making several stops at key locations along the route. This service is provided free of charge to members of the University community. For a current schedule, route map, exact stop locations, and to subscribe to our mailing list, please visit the BUS website at bu.edu/thebus.
Public Transportation
The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (more commonly known as the MBTA or the "T") maintains the public transportation system in Boston. This system of underground trains (the subway), buses, and trolleys allows you to travel easily all over the city of Boston as well as the suburbs. Boston University is located on the T's Green Line 'B' train. The main BU stops are BU East, BU Central, and BU West. The Green Line inbound can take you to shops on Newbury Street, or you can transfer to the Red Line at Park Street and visit Harvard Square in Cambridge. Visit the MBTA website for fares, schedules, and route maps.
MBTA stations are marked by signs with a large letter "T". The five major subway lines are the Green, Red, Blue, Orange, and Silver. To ride, purchase a CharlieCard or CharlieTicket using cash or a credit/debit card. Automated fare vending machines are located in most MBTA stations, or ask an MBTA official. If you board a Green Line trolley at an above-ground stop with no fare vending machine, you may pay exact change.
The subways and trolleys connect at many points with MBTA buses. Buses accept the CharlieCard or CharlieTicket, or exact change. You may request a free bus transfer ticket from the driver when you board if you plan on switching buses to reach your final destination.
There are several recognized cab associations in Boston. For official information on approved rates and rider's rights, visit the City of Boston website.
- Boston Cab: 617-536-3200
- City Cab: 617-536-5100
- Metro Cab: 617-782-5500
- Tunnel Taxi: 617-567-2700
Currency Exchange
There are many currency exchange facilities in Boston. Currency exchange offices are located at Logan Airport, as well as at many large banks. You can also exchange currency on campus at the following locations:
Citizens Bank
771 Commonwealth Avenue
Boston, MA 02215
Phone: 617-927-2223
Bank of America (must have an account)
771 Commonwealth Avenue
Boston, MA 02215
Phone: 617-424-0187
Exchange services are more limited outside of Boston, and it's best to carry U.S. currency when possible. ATM machines are readily available throughout the Boston area. Most New England businesses accept credit cards although some restaurants and taxis accept cash only.
Boston in the Summer
You'll find plenty of exciting things to do in Boston while you are here. Visit our Boston in the Summer page for some suggestions.
We look forward to seeing you around Boston!

When I thought single parenting was hard, I was parenting by myself. Since I've started this coparenting business it's an entire production in its entirety to put on (basically) by myself. It's like having a family and not having one too–there's an entire other parent to consider (even when I don't want to), schedules, and basically just finding a way to raise a kid that doesn't suck while wading through a situation that fucking sucks. To be blunt.
It seems that every time I get used to things there's a new lever or issue that must be dealt with so apparently there will never be any "getting comfortable" here. My recent issue is how to love your coparent enough (as a parent) when you don't love them as a human.
I don't know much about love, I learn something new almost every day, but this adventure is a lot like a child in itself. You teach it by being an example of what you want, and when that doesn't work you tell it flat out (with a string of 4 lettered words if you're me). It's a lot like a relationship, also, except a really shitty one with thousands of boundaries and booby traps, but the work is close to the same thing.
Personally, I would like to never speak until my kid asks me to, but this could be practice for me. I guess. So here it is; a list of ways to love me parentally, for the sake of the readers I still have.
My love language is words of affirmation. If you haven't read the book, read it wtf is wrong with you! That means I could give less than a fuck when you silently do things to prove your love. I will not see it, like at all, and I'll assume you don't love me because you haven't said it. It takes literally no effort to say "Hey you're a great mom" or "thanks for always making sure our son is good". Zero effort.
Coupled with that one is number 2, consistency. When you say things to me, mean them and mean them 100% of the time. Not just to keep things good with me, but because they're true all the time. This is my biggest thing because I don't like surprises or change. Don't be one thing to me and something else around other people.
Consider me. Even though we don't have a traditional family, this is still my family, and I regard it as such. When I make decisions I consider how it will impact all of us, not just my son and I though that is "actually" my family. Sometimes you have to stop and put yourself in my shoes and think of how you would feel if the situation was reversed. This can't really be a "I do what I want" situation because our child is the same child no matter what day of the week it is. Hell, he doesn't even know what a visitation schedule is.
Understand. You have to get why sometimes I need to hate you, sometimes I need to not respond and sometimes I just need time to think about things without being goaded into decisions. There is a ton of stress that comes with single parenting and coparenting alike, the last thing I need is you adding more to my plate. Sometimes (all the time) I need my space.
Teach me to love you. Don't just expect me to jump when you say jump, or to be who I was 2 years ago or even 1 year ago. I adapt to situations presented to me in a way that protects me from being hurt simply because I am not as effective as a mother when I am hurt. It's not your job to act like a boyfriend because I'm single, but it is your job to support me on parenting things. If I send you a picture, I don't need a lecture or a lesson, I just need someone to share things with.
Even on the day I get married I will never belong to anyone but my children. Don't get possessive. I do a good job of not putting "my" in front of anything I call you, and you should do the same. I understand it's still a bit of an instinct to protect us, or to want to simply because of him, but I've had this on my own for years, if I needed a man to protect me I would have one.
and lastly, for the love of all things holy STOP CALLING ME YOUR BABY MAMA. It is the trashiest term I have ever heard and I am far from trashy. Also, if you would stop making/calling me crazy I would stop acting crazy.
If there's one thing I know about boys and their mamas it's that you don't cross mama. I am the most important woman in his life (forever, future wife, don't get confused) and the way you treat me is how he will treat women. You treat me the way you would want a man to treat your mother–the same lesson I have and will continue giving him, it's not how you treat the woman you love that defines you as a man, it's how you treat all women.
Coparenting is the longest, most important relationship you seriously can not ever end, no matter how hard you try. Tell me, guys, what would you like to see change in your coparenting relationship?
Until the next meltdown, SSM

Despite uncertainty in Washington and rising oil prices and interest rates, companies are upbeat on the prospects for economic growth in the next year, according to a quarterly survey of business economists.
But economists surveyed by the National Association for Business Economics weren't as optimistic about hiring, according to the survey released Monday. Only 27 percent reported rising employment at their firms from July through September, down from 29 percent in the second quarter. And 37 percent expected their companies to expand payrolls in the next six months, down from 39 percent in the second quarter.
The slower hiring occurred even as sales and profit margins grew during the third quarter, according to the survey.
(Read more: You earn how much?! Breaking the workplace taboo)
Still, optimism about future economic growth remained strong last quarter. Almost 70 percent of the economists in the survey predicted gross domestic product growth of 2-to-3 percent, with another 19 percent expecting growth of 1-to-2 percent. The figures are nearly identical to those from the second-quarter survey, released in July.

Not yet. Battlefront pages have been on slight hiatus since first release with me being busy returning bigger tasks at school (deadlined for start of next week, so might get something done).
For some reason I can't find melee info now but I can remember seeing it somewhere.
For bowcaster:
There are two projectiles but both seem to do same damages. Direct hit does 20dmg + explosion with damage of 50 for 2m radius, which then fades to zero at 3m.

The meaning of the name April is Opening, 4th Month. The origin of the name April is Latin. This is the culture in which the name originated, or in the case of a word, the language.
The month of April was originally called "Aprilis" in Latin. The meaning unknown, possibly after the god Apollo.

Military Recruiter Chased Away From Socialist Seattle Campus
By the way, the campus in question is one of the worst community colleges in the country, a depressing dump in the middle of the trashed, wino-and-junkie-filled Capitol Hill district in Seattle.
Sgt. 1st Class Jeff Due, right, a U.S. Army recruiter, is surrounded by protesters at Seattle Central Community College, Thursday, Jan. 20, 2005, in Seattle. After about a 10-minute standoff during which protesters tore up U.S Army literature, the protesters were successful in getting Due and another recruiter to leave their table under escort by campus security officers. Several hundred students walked out of classes at several Seattle colleges and universities to protest the inauguration of President Bush (news - web sites). (AP Photo/Ted S. Warren)

That didn't take long. Arkansas started selling lottery tickets in September 2009 and three years later we have solid evidence — in a 7 percent drop in sales the last two months, according to an article in the Democrat-Gazette (pay wall) — of the inevitable maturing of the lottery.
The experience in every other state told us that, apart from population growth, percentage of free income is more or less unchanging. See Texas, to name one, where net lottery income has more or less been flat for nine years.
Unless you can find ways to encourage more people to separate themselves from more of their money, the growth arc of lotteries won't be great. Arkansas Lottery officials blame the economy and weather for the recent downturn, though there's some research that indicates hard times actually encourage desperate people to gamble more.
Whatever. The Arkansas Lottery can't count on exponential growth to expand the scholarship pool it finances, so legislators are figuring out ways to reallocate the money. This could mean future fights between two-year and four-year college students. One proposal would stairstep the money — more for each successive year along a degree path. This inevitably would favor those better able to pay in the first place, not simply those with better academic achievement. As the percentage of college costs paid by the lottery scholarships continues to decline, the likeliest dropouts will continue to have a high correlation with financial pressures.
Arkansas, like other states, will continue to search for ways to increase gambling. More marketing, more games. You can see why the dearly departed Ernie P. had an interest in keno and video lottery terminals. Illinois has even started online lottery ticket sales.

G Meets Producer Brian Grazer
Photo taken with my hand.
On May Day, 2010 at the gala opening for Shepard Fairey's May Day exhibit at Deitch Projects in New York, I met producer Brian Grazer. He has executive produced 2 of my favorite TV shows of all time: Arrested Development and 24, so you can imagine my delight when I met this demi-god. You can check out his credits and you'll see that the guy has been involved with some of the coolest movies and TV shows ever! He was super cool, but he was eager to escape the mob scene that was developing at the opening. Since my encounter with Brian Grazer was so brief, I neglected to tell him that the story rights to my life are still up for grabs. Now he knows. Thanks again Brian!

Transforming Ineffective Communication
Foundations of Compassionate Communications - Weekend
Most of us are hungry for effective interpersonal communication skills that can help us live a more empowered life free from the destructive negative thinking and self-judgment that keep us from living our fullest potential. We're also looking for techniques to help us foster strong self-esteem, to heal from emotional pain, and simply communicate more effectively, especially in the heat of conflict.
Effective Interpersonal Communication Skills
The Nonviolent Communication (NVC) process offers proven, effective interpersonal communication skills to help you foster healthy, satisfying relationships—with yourself and others. With our interpersonal communication and self help books, you'll learn to understand the root of all conflict and emotional pain. Transform unhealthy communication habits to create satisfying relationships, resolve conflicts with ease, and live your fullest potential.
Learn Practical, Effective Interpersonal Communication Skills to:
- Transform negative thinking into personal empowerment
- Get what you want without using demands, guilt or shame
- Heal old pain
- Transform unhealthy communication habits
- Stay compassionate even in the most difficult circumstances
- Eat by choice, not by habit
This is a unique opportunity to learn the foundations of Heart-Conscious Communication (NVC) in one weekend, speaking your truth honestly and with compassion and listening empathically to what's in the heart of any message.
There will be plenty of opportunity to practice, using meaningful examples from your own life, including family life, work life, partnership, and social change.
Friday night is a first look at Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication presenting you with an opportunity to see how you use this language in your own life. On Saturday morning we will use NVC to see within ourselves the beauty of who we are by practicing the art of self empathy. This process will include comprehension, demonstration and practice with the support of small groups. On Saturday afternoon we will use NVC to deepen our intimate relations with family. Utilizing material developed for my Language for Lovers workshops we will come to see the beauty of the fun - and the beauty of the not so fun - aspects of relationship.
On Sunday we will turn our attention to the larger community and examine the power of NVC to assist Social Change. How can we build the world we want to live in where everyone's needs and values can be celebrated? But first how can we deal with our despair for the way things are right now? Then we will finish the day using NVC for healing emotional wounds and freeing blocks to life.
We are offering this multi day format to provide a solid foundation for a lifelong practice of Nonviolent Communication; however this is just the beginning.

This change in the gun policy has been going for a little more than two years strong, but the change is impacting every new officer and a lot of the veterans who are deciding to switch to higher caliber weapons.
1,200 guns have been taken off the streets so far this year.
The yearly average is between 4,000 and 5,000 with many of them being high powered weapons.
So now, new police recruits can choose the higher caliber .40 or .45 while veteran officers have the option to upgrade or stick with the 9mm.
"We don't want to get into an arms race where we have to start getting .50 calibers, but I think it's only right that officers have at least firearms available to them that they feel comfortable with," Ramsey said.
On Friday, Action News showed surveillance video of a man terrorizing a North Philadelphia area with an AK-47.
The commissioner says the change in policy is less about stopping power and more about putting officers on an equal playing field with the bad guys.
But there are limitations because of safety issues when firing at a target.
"Thugs don't worry about the background, they just shoot, so there are some limitations and there always will be limitations on the kinds of weapons we can use," Ramsey said.
That's where local firearms trainer Jeff Bloovman says good training comes in.
Bloovman owns Armed Dynamics where he instructs off-duty police officers and private citizens. He says there's not much of a difference between the guns.
"I would say take that money that you were going to spend for those guns and put it on the training," Bloovman said.
At The Gun Range in Spring Garden, Bloovman showed Action News the difference in the 9mm, the .40, and the .45. He believes 9mm are better for officers because they hold more bullets.
"Going from a 9mm to a .45, I don't think it's worth it. I would rather have more bullets for that gunfight than fewer bullets for that gunfight," Bloovman said.
Commissioner Ramsey says there's been good feedback about this policy change with officers liking the option.
The top cop who has admitted he's not a gun guy also made a switch to a .45.

A Message from a MHS Senior Project Student
Hello MHS Community!
My name is Emma Bendall and for the past few months I have been learning about Alzheimer's disease and research in senior project. Alzheimer's is a degenerative brain disease that leaves its sufferers with no cognitive abilities and without the skills to survive. Alzheimer's steals a person's recollection of the past and in turn, steals their identity.
After months of seeing just how important our memories are to the people we become, I have chosen to create a website where people can post videos of themselves talking about their favorite memories. I challenge every student and faculty member to think of a fond or prominent memory to be posted on the site. I will be setting up a "memory booth" at the school in the near future where stories can be filmed, but you are also welcome to film them yourselves and email it to me. If you know a family member or member of the community that would have an interesting story to share, let them know! This project was inspired by Storycorps, a similar program, if you need inspiration here is a link: https://storycorps.org/listen/don-michaels-and-his-daughter-jennifer/
If you have any questions please ask. Thanks!

From Superintendent Gerardi Regarding Inclement Weather
Snow Days /Delayed Openings/Early Emergency Dismissals
Inevitably, school cancellations are a reality in New England. To prepare for the potential of a school cancellation due to inclement weather, I wanted to share the process for students and parents.
School Closing
In the event that school is canceled or delayed due to inclement weather or any other reason, the Maynard Public Schools will provide notice for parents and students via the following:
1. An automated phone call to each home between 6:00-6:30 a.m. or in rare instances, the evening before. This phone call is based on the home phone number provided on the student's emergency contacts form filled out at the beginning of the year and the phone numbers in iParent. Parents need to be sure their child's school has the correct phone and email contact information.
2. Traditional television and radio Media. We use only WBZ TV – Channel 4 and Radio 1030AM (WBZ) 44. They also post this information on their website at:
Web: http://wbztv.com/schoolclosings
3. New for this year! I will be tweeting school cancellations on @MaynardSchools
Please do not call the Fire or Police Department for School Information. DO NOT CALL "911".
Delayed Opening
In the event of a delayed opening, school will open two (2) hours after the regular starting time. School will be dismissed at the usual time on delayed opening days. If there is a delayed opening, no breakfast will be served on those days. Occasionally a delayed opening will be later revised to a no school announcement if conditions worsen. Please stay tuned to the TV or radio for a possible cancellation notice after a delayed opening announcement or listen for the town whistle.
That's the news for this week.
Enjoy the weekend, have a great school vacation week and take care,
Chuck Caragianes
Principal of Maynard High School

Logan specializes in Editorial Photography. Enjoy the interview and if you enjoyed what you read, please leave a comment.
2012 Grammy – Thoughts on Adele's Comeback Performance
Gwyneth Paltrow introduced Adele. Calling her "something special" and described her album 21 as "creating a global music movement."
Adele's performance at the Grammys was hands down Amazing! Her performance received a well-deserved standing ovation. She began singing the chorus to "Rolling in the Deep" a capella and was gradually joined by her band. She proved to everyone that she still has it and without any extravagant set or weird costumes.
Adele took home six Grammys and winning in every category that she was nominated for. Best Song of the Year and Record of the Year for "Rolling in the Deep", Best Pop Vocal Album for "21", Best Short-form music video "Rolling in the Deep", Best Pop Solo Performance for "Someone Like You", Best Album of the Year for "21"
Welcome back Adele!
My Tribute to Whitney Houston
The death of Whitney Houston has had a major impact on me. Whitney, among other great artists, is the reason why I have such a profound love for music. Her songs have uplifted me, made memories, and to just want to dance with somebody. I first learned about the news of her passing while at work when one of my colleague's started to read out loud from the AP news website that she had passed away. Everyone was in shock. Hoping and thinking it was just a rumor.
I, as others, grew up listening to Whitney Houston. Her mezzo-soprano voice has captivated everyone with her songs such as "I Will Always Love You", "Saving All My Love for You", "I Wanna Dance With Somebody", "Yes, Jesus Loves Me" and her amazing performance singing the National Anthem at the 1991 Super Bowl.
I have so many favorite Whitney Houston songs, but one of my favorite gospel songs that she sung in the movie The Preacher's Wife is "I Love the Lord".
I thank her for blessing us all with her beautiful talent and for touching us all through her music. My heart goes out to Bobbi Kristina, Bobby, Cissy, and the rest of the Houston family.
I leave you with the tribute from Jennifer Hudson from the Grammy's. A beautiful and heartfelt tribute to Whitney Houston.
RIP Whitney Houston.

O no!
This animation is a pretty good lesson in chemistry … but I'm not sure it's all that safe for little kids.
No, that helium atom was not me in middle school. But I never dated the Hydrogen twins either. I guess my life is a little bit more Boron than Oxygen.
Tip o' the O2 tank to BIL Chris Setter.

Arrgg, sooo many errors. Electrons group in threes now?
I guess my life is a little bit more Boron than Oxygen.
That's pretty elementary.
The Hydrogen twins + the Oxygen atom = Ménage à trois. 😉
(Definitely not safe for little kids!)
I was hoping that Sodium would join their threesome.
I cannot Barium these silicon puns!
P.S. "Intelligent Design" and "Electric Universe" are both just Hafnium-Arsenic pseudoscience!
That is great, and I'm sure my four-year old will love that!
As for the "not for little kids", that's nonsense. Your own dirty minds are running overtime.
Can't we just iron out our differences? I mean, I zinc you're taking it a little too seriously.
There's potential here. Both for more interactions with oxygen, and for more videos of other elements.
But it looks like it was just a one-time school project. Sad.
Someone call George Hrab and have these guys make a video for his songs about the elements.
Re: electron groups in threes – isn't that just Oxygen's outer six conveniently split up so they don't get all over the place?
Wonderful and perfectly fine for kids.
That's hilarious! XD
Re: electron groups in threes – isn't that just Oxygen's outer six conveniently split up so they don't get all over the place?
Or fewer things to animate.
I take issue with the mixed metaphors here. Are those individual atoms? Are those the incarnate personifications of the element in general? NERD RAGE GROWING
I think the IRONy would be lost on the little ones.
@ Todd W.,
I Cæsium your point, but Sulphur it has Lead us nowhere.
I know, my pun is SODIUM, but I couldn't bite my TUNGSTEN.
The original funny video here & # 9 Todd W. too. 😀
Just one nit to pick – Oxygen repels Helium – does it really? I didn't know that – or if I did I've forgotten.
Plus doesn't Helium escape our upper atmosphere being too light to be retained by Earth's gravity hence we don't have it but Jupiter does?
Finally, I wonder if Oxygen could find a friend at last there with stainless steel? -)
PS. @ Whoever made that clip – please make some more with other elements too. That was neat.
Those puns are gold but I do wonder about some of the Praseodymium. 😉
Maybe they should have Oxygen meet Magnesium? 😉
No, that helium atom was not me in middle school.
Sadly, the Helium atom *was* me in primary school days.
Maybe they should have Oxygen meet Magnesium?
I'm sure it would be a relationship full of heat. An energetic, but short-lived tryst.
I'm starting to think we could all really bond over this. Judging from the comments, I think there's a lot of chemistry between the posters. I mean, how could we not with a role model like the BA, with his silver tongue?
Its a marvelous video. I hope someone takes the idea forward.
Aww. They're so cute. I feel a bit sorry for He though, poor thing.
I like how when the 2nd H jumps on O, they briefly make the shape of the water molecule before splashing.
One slightly annoying inconsistancy. If He floats up, why don't the H twins float up too?
@ Keith (the first one)
Well, actually Hydrogen flows up and escapes even easier than Helium. That's why we have no free hydrogen in our atmosphere (which is good…). Another point is that unlike Helium Hydrogen easily couples with any other atom, it is very reactive, just like Carbon and Oxygen (e.g.). So, whenever there is some free Hydrogen, like those twins, they will react almost immediately with something else, they have no time to escape (unless the react with each other ;)) – and the video would have been less cool when the H twins just flew away before poor Ox met them.
@ 11 Rob:
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons in its "p" orbital so the animation is right. . I don't remember everything from high school chemistry but I remember this! (Thanks Mr Harville!) 😛
"Arrgg, sooo many errors. Electrons group in threes now?"
I really wish the creators of these videos would just Thorium-Indium-Potassium.
Maybe their shoes were just really heavy, and that's what kept them on the ground. I was gonna say their bows but they float down after the reaction so it wouldn't have been them.
Wow, I wish I had seen that back in the day. I bet I would have done much better in Chemistry in high school and college if that was our curriculum… although, I wonder how they'd explain organic chemistry with similar metaphors.
If we're going to keep kids interested in basic science, there need to be a lot more entertaining teaching tools like this available.
This is also cool:
These puns have Gold me to no end, but I see not point in Carbon about it further.
Jess Tauber
I think it was cool that the oxygen character was pale blue.
Very cute. Reminds me of the old Disney educational films they showed us in elementary school; "Donald Duck in Mathemagic Land" and the like. Yes, I'm that old.
Plus, that Alka-Seltzer video is way cool, indeed. Thanks, jcm.

Vancouver, British Columbia — AFRICAN QUEEN MINES LTD. (the "Company")
is pleased to announce that it has now entered into an Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreement (the "Akan Agreement"), with Marshall Islands' private company AKAN EXPLORATION LTD. ("Akan"), covering exploration, development and exploitation of the Noyem Gold Project, which is the subject of the Noyem-Nyafoman Prospecting License LVB 10244/1995 in Ghana (the "License"). Simultaneously, the Company has entered into a Purchase & Sale Agreement with Newmont Ghana Gold Limited ("NGGL"), the Ghanaian subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE: "NEM") ("Newmont"), under which NGGL is transferring the License directly to the Company's Ghanaian subsidiary AQ Ghana Gold Ltd. ("AQGGL"), to be held in trust for the Joint Venture partners in accordance with the Akan Agreement.
The Noyem Gold Project. The License currently covers an area of approximately 28.9 sq. km. located within the Birim North District of Ghana's Eastern Region, approximately 130 km. NW of Accra. It is at the northeastern end of Ghana's well-known, gold-producing Ashanti Gold Belt, near Newmont's Akyem deposit which is presently under development for potential production. It is also within approximately 100 km. of AngloGold Ashanti's world-class Obuasi Mine and the old Konongo open pit gold mine. In addition to its close proximity to Accra which facilitates access, the Project is bisected in a NE-SW direction by a tarred road. It has long been host to large numbers of artisinal miners and in October, 2008, a shed-off area of 8.98 sq. km. adjacent to the current license area was reserved for small scale mining. This will facilitate exploration and development of potential large scale mining operations on the License.
The License was initially acquired by NGGL together with a number of other Ghana gold mining properties through Newmont's acquisition in 2002 of Australian-based Normandy Mining Limited (" Normandy"). Exploration conducted by Normandy's predecessor Bonsu Gold Holdings, including diamond drilling during 1996-1997, resulted in the definition by Bonsu Gold Holdings of an historic inferred gold resource of approximately 1.1 million oz au (5.2 million tonnes @ 6.67 g/t au) down to 550 meters within reefs of the Tarkwaian conglomerates in the Eastern portion of the concession ("Noyem A"). Normandy carried out further exploration programs on the property through 2000. The Tarkwaian is typically represented by coarse clastic sediments including conglomerates, sandstones, arkoses and subordinate argillites. The style of mineralization at Noyem A is typically Tarkwaian-hosted palaeoplacer and hydrothermal gold mineralization. The historic resource estimate was not determined in accordance with N.I. 43-101 and the Company does not have sufficient information to reliably base an opinion on the accuracy or validity of the historic resource estimate. Rather, the Company views it as an exploration target for further evaluation, study and work in the near future. The Company will commission its own independent Technical Report under N.I. 43-101 after completion of its Phase 1 Exploration Program if deemed warranted by results.
In addition to the work done on Noyem A as above, NGGL tested gold anomalies at the western part of the License ("Noyem B") with soil sampling resulting in definition of a 4 km strike anomaly. Follow-up trenching intercepted encouraging mineralization within the horizons (1-2 m) of steeply-dipping Banket conglomerates. During the period 2005-2007, a modest program of reverse circulation drilling to shallow depth was undertaken by NGGL. Gold intersections reported in the Banket conglomerates included 4 m @ 19.4 g/t au. Geophysical studies were also undertaken by NGGL, including a gravity survey of the Project area covering some 37.88 sq.km. The Company views Noyem A and Noyem B as highly prospective exploration targets and is planning to incorporate detailed studies of all the historic data and results and available core with further ground work including mapping, sampling, trenching and, where appropriate, drilling.
The Akan Agreement. Under the terms of the Earn-In and Joint Venture Agreement with Akan, the Company may earn up to a 75% interest in the Noyem Gold Project by funding prescribed stages from exploration through feasibility. Akan has the right to participate at its election pro-rata after the Company has reached 60% ownership interest by funding all costs through pre-feasibility. The Company is designated as manager and operator of the Project on behalf of the joint venture partners, subject to full consultation with Akan on all material aspects of the Project. Phase 1 of the Project, scheduled to get underway as soon as practicable, is a ground exploration program comprised of follow-up soil and rock sampling, mapping, trenching and sample analysis, together with review of prior geophysics, drilling and other data, as well as such additional studies as the parties shall agree. The objective of the Phase 1 Exploration Program is to assess the overall geologic structure of the License area and the liklihood of commercially viable gold deposits within both Noyem A and Noyem B in the License area, as well as to identify discreet drill targets for a Phase 2 core drilling program.
Work comprising the Phase 1 Exploration Program is anticipated to be conducted by Remote Exploration Services ("RES") of Cape Town, S.A. on behalf of the joint venture partners. The Company has utilized the services of RES effectively in connection with its exploration programs in Mozambique since 2006. The Noyem Gold Project is being managed on behalf of the Company by Senior Consulting Geologist Mr. Pete Siegfried (M.Sc., MAusIMM), a qualified person. The costs for Phase 1, estimated at up to U.S. $250,000, are being paid by the Company.
The Newmont Agreement. Under the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement between AQGGL and NGGL, entered into simultaneously with the Akan Agreement, NGGL has agreed to transfer the License to AQGGL, immediately upon approval of Ghana's Minister of Lands, Forestry and Mines as is customarily required. AQGGL has agreed to pay NGGL in consideration for the transfer of the License the total sum of U.S. $850,000, $100,000 of which was due upon execution and has been paid, $250,000 of which is due upon final transfer of the License to AQGGL, $250,000 of which is due one year from the date of execution, and $250,000 of which is due on commercial production as defined. Newmont retains a 2% NSR on all production from the License, subject to a buy-back in favor of AQGGL for 1% thereof on specified terms, and Newmont retains a right of refusal to meet third party offers to acquire the Project under certain circumstances, as well as a right to reacquire the Project upon abandonment. Newmont is providing AQGGL with all available historic data and results, reports, drill core, etc. Akan has agreed to reimburse AQGGL for the first two payments to NGGL in the sum of $100,000 and $250,000, respectively.
According to Irwin Olian, CEO of the Company, "We are extremely excited to be moving forward with exploration and development of the Noyem Gold Project with our partner, Akan Exploration. Ghana is a great place to be mining, with a long history of successful operations and a positive relationship between the Government and mining operators. The Noyem Project has a large body of historic work already defining highly prospective targets. We are very happy indeed to be adding this Project to our portfolio of existing projects in Mozambique, Botswana and Namibia. Together with the King Solomon Project in Mozambique, Noyem now gives the Company two very promising gold projects with potential to host commercial, large scale deposits."

Week 20
October 31, 2016
Hello everyone,
I hope you all had a great week and are enjoying Halloween.
This week's crazy story...
New companion... Whatttttt!!!!! Like I said last week his name is Elder Salamatin, which is kind of a funny name because in Ilonggo, Salamat means thank you... so he is Elder Thank You. Elder Salamatin is from Laguna which is just like 3 hours outside of Manila. He's great and he's been helping me learn Tagalog which is a language I really want to learn. He loves to play basketball and he's really good. We make a pretty good basketball duo...not as good as me and Elder Richards though.. haha. We play "Canos" vs. "Pinoys" a lot, and "Canos" do not lose!! haha.
This week's teaching stories:
This week a member of our ward passed away. It was so weird because we were at his house the night before he died, and he was fine. It has been so sad, but it has also opened up a lot teaching opportunities. We've been teaching the Plan of Salvation a lot. In the Philippines, funerals are different. After someone dies, there is a wake for an entire month at the house. We have been teaching a lot of people about where this member of our ward is right now. Unfortunately, a lot of the people have been drunk, but they seem to like the message haha. One guy gave me a cool gold ring too. Some more awesome news is that Brother "M" and his whole family came to church today. It was great. His wife hasn't been too interested but hopefully she will gain some interest.
This whole week has been the Ha-Was Festival for Dumangas. It was awesome. There's always music playing and on Wednesday, there was street dancing. Every town here does their own dance. It was so cool and awesome to see how the whole community supports each other. I really enjoy that part of this culture... and every other part as well haha.
The work is great and the Lord is blessing me every day. I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!!! I do not want to be any other place right now. Have a great week!
Love you all,
Elder Andersen

Album Title - Speed of Light
That's My Fault (Feat. Kang Min Kyung of Davichi)
While I absolutely love this song, I think it's fair to say that at this point they were still finding their feet as a group.
The dancing isn't bad, but I have seen them do much better.
SPEED is incredible in their rapping and singing, but I do feel a little like Kang Min Kyung outshines them here, that's just my opinion though.
Overall I love this and will be putting it on my iPod to listen to as soon as possible ^^
Not only is this an incredible song but it also gives insight into some of the things that happened during the Gwangju Massacre, I'll be honest and say that I actually cried during this drama version MV, yeah I know 14 minutes is a bit long for an MV, but trust me this is really worth watching.
Thanks for reading, let me know what you thought of this song and it's MVs ^^
This was my first time giving a review of anything, so I'm sorry if it was a bit awkward, I'll try to do better next time :)
If any of you would like to take part in reviewing one of SPEED's albums, or posting a member profile let me know, and I will tell you everything you need to know, all help is welcome, and appreciated :D

WOW! Second post from me today. I tell you today, well heck this whole week has not been good, but today I am really not doing good. I am really sleepy, I did not sleep good last night. I am in so much pain that nothing is helping. I have so much still left to do on my To Do list that I can't seem to make a dent in it and one of them is going to Walmart and I have been putting that off for so long cause it hurts for me to ride in a car and then to even think about shopping…no, but I have no other choice, I have to go at some point today regardless of how I feel to get stuff for the prep before the surgery and things for after the surgery.
Of course, it might do me a bit of good being out, I am tired of being stuck in this house, day in and day out. I am going stir crazy, but that will only be short-lived due to the pain I will suffer for going out. Sigh, the many problems we face with mesh.
I am feeling really bad right now. Bad about myself, feeling like everything is my fault, everything that is wrong is my fault. That I am not a good mom, wife, daughter, friend. That I am a burden to my family and friends. That they should not have to put their life on hold for as long as they have because of me, like I am not worth it. I feel totally worthless and useless. I can't even get this list stuff done. I am just here, or not here, my mind wanders and as surgery gets close, I find my mind wandering and drifting more and more.
This may well be the most important surgery I may ever have. So much is riding on this surgery and this surgery is no walk in the park, there are some major risks involved with this surgery. I have so many questions running through my mind. Will the surgery work? Will they be able to get all the mesh our? Will I have nerve damage and still be in pain? What will the recovery be like? Will I be in more pain than I am now or less pain during recovery? Will I regret the surgery? What do I do if the surgery does not work or they can't get all the mesh out?
I just don't know, part of me don't even know who I am anymore 😦

The vertex? A look,
proof each cortex shook

I've always thought so. Still, one of my favourite cartoons is the Farside one where the owner is yelling at the dog and the caption says, 'This is what your dog actually hears'. "$^& Bingo! ^%$%$ % $%$% Bingo #$@#$ $ $%$ ^&%^"ReplyDeleteReplies
I think I've seen that cartoon and it made me laugh too. :)Delete
Hi Rachel, lovely poem. I laughed as every dog owner knows that anyway. We don't need a study for that. Thanks for sharing. Take care BeeReplyDeleteReplies

Local Immune regulation in human pregnancy : with focus on decidual macrophages
Abstract (Summary)During pregnancy, the woman carries a fetus partly foreign to her immune system, because of the expression of paternal antigens. Despite this, the fetus is normally tolerated and not rejected, as is often the case with organs in allogeneic transplantations. Systemic changes in maternal blood occur during pregnancy but, perhaps of greater importance, are changes in tissues locally in the uterus. The pregnant uterine endometrium, the decidua, is infiltrated by large numbers of leukocytes, mainly natural killer (NK) cells but also macrophages and T lymphocytes. Further, various cytokines are known to be secreted at the fetomaternal interface. However, the functions of these cells and the cytokine networks are not fully understood. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the local immune balance in normal human pregnancy decidua, both in the early phase of pregnancy and at parturition.First trimester decidual mononuclear cells, NK cells and macrophages were all shown to secrete IFN-?, IL-4 and IL-10, as detected by ELISPOT. The secretion was not mirrored in blood from the same subjects. A significantly larger number of decidual macrophages secreted IL-10 than did their blood counterparts, indicating potential regulatory functions of this cell type.Further examination of early pregnancy decidual macrophages by microarray revealed 120 genes being differentially regulated at the transcriptional level in decidual compared to blood monocytes/macrophages. Several genes were associated with alternative activation/M2 polarization of macrophages, including CCL-18, CD209, IGF-1, MRC-1 and FN-1. Genes connected to immune regulation and tissue remodelling were common, in line with the potential functions for this cell type in utero. In addition, some molecules not previously connected to decidual macrophages, such as TREM-2, A2M and PGDS, were found to be upregulated, gaining new insights into the regulatory functions of decidual macrophages.Term decidual mononuclear cells spontaneously secrete IFN-?, TNF, IL-4, IL-10, and TGF-?. No differences were seen between tissues obtained before and after the onset of labour, indicating that decidual mononuclear cells are not the main cell population responsible for plausible cytokine regulation in the process of labour induction. Placental and fetal membranes as well as cells in the maternal systemic circulation may instead contribute to a possible shift in immune balance prior to pregnancy termination.In conclusion, decidual leukocytes, including NK cells and macrophages, are potential producers of both Th1-like/pro-inflammatory and Th2-like/anti-inflammatory cytokines in early pregnancy as well as at parturition. Decidual macrophages are of a specialized phenotype with effector functions contributing to a proper invasion of the placenta and to immunological protection of the semi-allogeneic fetus. This thesis adds new knowledge on local immune balance during normal human pregnancy, however, the clinical significance of the presented data needs to be clarified.

my story
so, i was there. arrived early enough but i already smelt something familiar -tear gas!- my friends and i hustled towards an alley, stopped by a stall operated by a few indonesian women; whom gave a very warm welcome while repeating their slogans, "malaysia boleh! malaysia aman!"
it was already around 10 am, and i didn't want to waste any more energy walking around as to avoid the cops. some of my friends had already been arrested! my friend, A; and i decided to stay at petaling street. a middle-aged, chinese man then approached us. "bagus.. bagus... anak-anak muda sudah berani!". i just smiled back at him. around 12 noon, out of a sudden, a crowd is formed around us; and i saw another crowd was moving towards us at the opposite of the road. owh, it had begun! we marched peacefully towards jalan hang tuah back and forth, until the crowd finally marched towards a larger crowd in front of Maybank building.
the climax
dr hatta was giving the speech. i had fun watching others got ecstatic. not long after that, i heard the siren, the police fired up and the tear gas canister was so close to us and i was suddenly surrounded by heavy smoke. i ran but almost trapped when a guy in front of me suddenly stopped at the narrow path. "gerak, gerak," i yelled while swallowing the fumes. i can barely see, but luckily i spotted A. with shivering hands and still gasping for air, i took out some salt and put them in my mouth. A, unable to find hers, she swiped some that left at my lips and hands and put them in her mouth. the fumes was getting worst. A then grabbed my hand and we climbed up the stairs nearby. almost suffocated, i exhaled deeply. i thought i almost died, that i recited syahadah repeatedly. saliva coming out from my mouth, mucous running out from my nose. this is the worst tear-gassed experience i had so far.
we found a running tap water at the hill slope, where the guys had their ablution to perform zuhur prayer. i wet my handkerchief and took ablution as well. not long after that, another siren. tear gas again! A and i ran, helped by a few gentlemen to pass through the narrow fence. our running speed was not that excellent as i felt my throat and stomach were still burning with the acid gas. we decided to find shelter at the nearest building and i saw some people rushed into a motel (A first thought it was a temple!). like a drama queen, i waved and begged, "please, please!". "hurry up!", an indian guy waited for us to come in before he locked up the gate. i was quite surprised to see that most of the 'refugees' there were males. they offered us to sit but kindly i insisted to perform my solah first.
the rain was pouring heavily. another shot of tear gas was being launched. the indian worker led us to the back of the building, offering salt and asked us to wash our face with the running tap water. as the police passed through the building, he even asked us to hide. we thanked him so much and bought two bottles of mineral water before leaving. he showed us thumbs up sign and waved us goodbye.
truly 1 Malaysia
the rally was so moving and i believe each participants can feel how people really looked after one another throughout the rally, despite of different religions, races and ages. i witnessed: a guy tore up his towel into two to share another half with a stranger; strangers offering salt to me and A to counteract the tear gas effect; strangers helping us at the motel; someone always stepped up ensuring the panicked run doesn't turn into a stampede. i feel very safe in the crowd. trust me, you can hear these kind of kindness act from every single marchers. congrats najib! your 1 Malaysia concept was instead practiced by your own opponents. at least you preach on something which is good.
i cried when i watched the video of those who were being tear gassed and trapped in kl central. i cried when i watched in tv najib insulting anwar lying in pain after being tear gassed (i would probably feel the same if najib was in his place). i cried when i watched the video of the man having a seizure attack while his hands were still tied. those who attended the rally knows exactly how horrible it feels watching all these. i cannot even bear to hear nasty and mean things said about the man who died after being tear gassed. this is very inhumane! what kind of violence did the protesters created? is it logical for the cops to heartlessly showered water canon and tear gas to the people that had yellow flowers, bananas, yellow t-shirts as their weapons? it's not a rocket science to understand something that we call as humanity.
these protesters acted civilized enough not to destroy property or hurt one another. several got hurts and one died but the participants did not cause them. even the restaurants and shops that dared enough to operate actually benefits a lot on that day. i feel sorry for the shattered newly wed couples when guests did not turn up, but who in the first place did all the road blocks and scaring all not to go out on that day?
different worldview
if the government in the first place understands the psychology of people having different worldviews, i don't think Bersih 2.0 will turn out this way. a simple thing like - giving RESPECT to others' views which is different from yours; is the key to worldwide peace. others may have different view on this, but that is his story. i'm proud that i'm a part of the history. 10 or 20 years to come, people may write this event in our history textbook. and by that time, i can proudly relating MY-story to my grandchildren or other youths. at least i have my own stand and my own story. do you?

This is a rough draft of a murder scene I am thinking of using as the opener to one of my next Reilly and Fisk cases…
She stood and surveyed the gruesome scene in the small one bedroom apartment. Her espresso-colored eyes were flat and emotionless all the while absorbing every detail. The distinct metallic smell of blood hung thick in the air. Detective Jess Reilly had been to a lot of murder scenes in the years she had worked homicide for the Boston Police Department. In that time she had seen the worst of what humans do to other humans, but this scene had given her pause as she had ducked under the crime scene tape and stepped onto the threshold of the apartment. She had assumed the ashen-faced uniformed officer who had greeted her just outside of the scene's perimeter was shaken up by his first glimpse at death. However, she now sent a mental apology to him as this was the type of scene that would give even the most seasoned homicide detective the chills.
The body of a young woman lay face down in the living room area of the apartment. She was less than a yard from the door, but Reilly doubted she would have gotten far had she managed to escape into the hallway of the apartment building. Given the state of the apartment, it was clear she had already lost far too much blood by the time she had made it to the living room.
She squatted next to the body for a closer look but was careful not to disturb anything before the medical examiner arrived on scene. It didn't take the trained eye of a seasoned homicide detective or an autopsy to determine woman's cause of death. From where Reilly squatted near the body she counted close to two dozen stab wounds in the victim's back, neck, legs, arms, and head.
Reilly sighed and stood. Even if the body had been removed from the scene, it would have been apparent that someone had died here. An average human female body contains roughly eight to ten pints of blood. Most people can't appreciate how much blood that really is, but then again most people haven't seen the vast majority of that volume splattered, smeared, and pooled throughout someone's apartment.
According to the neighbor, who had called 911 after hearing screaming and "a commotion" in the apartment, the young woman's name was Evelyn Bowen.
"I bet you heard a commotion." Reilly muttered to herself as she carefully stepped through the ruined apartment.
Evelyn Bowen did not go down easy. The attack appeared to have started in the bedroom. The window had been pried open by the assailant who must have accessed the apartment from the fire escape. From spatter of blood on the wall near the head of the bed, Reilly speculated that Evelyn was most likely sleeping or, at the very least, lying in bed when it started. The room was torn apart and there was blood smeared on the walls and the bedroom door. She could see the grisly scene playing out in her mind. Bowen is sleeping soundly until awoken by a noise. Before she can react, he's on her. She struggles and probably screams. He's startled by the ferocity of her struggling so he stabs her. She's wounded but somehow manages to get away from him. Reilly spotted the bedside lamp with the bloody handprint on the shade on the floor near the bed. She couldn't help but smirk as she imagined Evelyn grabbing the lamp by its shade and using it to strike a blow to her assailant. She sees her opportunity and tries to make a run for it. Blood spatter on the wall by the door told Reilly that the attacker was able to get in another slash or two as Bowen's bloody hands struggled with the doorknob.
Streaks of bloody finger marks on the doorframe of the bathroom across from the bedroom told Reilly that Evelyn was probably pushed in there by her attacker. The small room was just as chaotic as the bedroom. The tile in the shower was smeared and splattered with blood, but despite the fact that she was probably stabbed and slashed while struggling with the intruder in the bathroom, Bowen was able to escape him yet again. The shower curtain rod had been pulled down and the toilet plunger handle was bloodied. Reilly could picture the scene as Evelyn desperately pulled the rod down on to her assailant and the hit him with the plunger as she fled past him and into the living room. There were bloody hand prints smeared on the walls and the island counter that separated the kitchen from the living room. At this point, Reilly knew the adrenaline rush of the fight to survive was starting to wane in the face of the severe blood loss the victim had experienced.
Reilly stepped carefully back into the living room where the crime scene technicians had arrived and started to take pictures. The cushions were pulled off of the couch and looked as though they had been tossed toward the small hallway that separated the bedroom and the bathroom. It was Evelyn's final attempt to ward off her attacker and buy time for her escape. Sadly, she never made it to the door and when she was finally caught and shoved face down on to the floor, her assailant was pissed off enough to land well over twenty blows before leaving her to die.

Contact to American Banks (Santiago de Chile)
Hi all,
This is actually my first post since I have registered. Santiago has treated me extremely well and I was supported by my colleagues in an incredible way.
My topic/question might not fit directly into the Santiago Forum, but anyhow..
I´ll be changing from Santiago to Atlanta, Georgia in the US at the beginning of Protected content . During my research the topic of a credit history came up, which seems to be quite hard to transfer from other countries to the US.
Therefore I would like to open a bank account in an American Bank like e.g.
Bank of America
J.P. Morgan
even though I am still based in Santiago de Chile.
Anybody within this Forum which is working for an American Bank and could help me out to open a bank account in the US from Chile?
Thanks for your support!

How to Seduce an Aquarius Woman
There is a challenge in learning how to seduce an Aquarius woman. Her sign's mantra is "I know." Because she sees you coming a mile away, you have to be prepared to wow her.
- Be intelligent (as possible). An Aquarius woman is highly intelligent. She is a lifelong learner and knows a little bit about everything. She loves to have conversations about whatever is going on in the world. Do not try to debate with her without truly knowing what you're talking about. If you want to impress an Aquarius woman, tell her about the latest book you read. A great date for an Aquarius woman is a trip to the bookstore, after dinner of course. Look around and pick out some titles that you think she would enjoy.
- Be honest. Honesty is important to the Water Bearer. The figure of the woman pouring water from a vase is actually the Aquarius dispensing truth. Because of this, she loves to hear it. Do not lie to her. If you are, do not let her find out that you are lying. She values the truth much more than a lie. If you tell the truth from the beginning, she will be more apt to forgive you.
- Communicate. Aquarius is big on communication. She is extremely literal. She doesn't do subliminal messages so you'll have to speak up for what you want. Stimulate her mind and she will let you stimulate her in other ways. Send her sensuous text messages or e-mails (she's a technology fiend) to build anticipation and get her vast imagination flowing.
- Give her space. The Aquarius woman is independent to a fault. She is never clingy or jealous. Respect her privacy and she will always respect yours. You cannot be too forward with an Aquarius. She retreats when confronted. Be confident, not cocky.
- Be a gentle man. As a gentleman, you should touch her gently. Light, soft touches are what gets an Aquarius woman in the mood. Rake your fingertips along the skin of her legs and ankles (the parts of the body Aquarius rules) and see how she reacts.
- Show her something new. She is all about learning and trying new things. Infamously adventurous, she likes to be different. At times she will be different just for the sake of doing so. She does not like to be just like everyone else. To feed her thirst for novelty, take her to restaurants with various cuisines. Do not do the same old thing every time. She wants to see what is beyond the horizon. She is constantly exploring, so give her something to look for. She loves creativity and has a thing for musicians, artists and writers. More than likely she has a creative talent of her own to share with you.
- Challenge her. The Aquarius woman relishes a challenge. Dare her to do something and she will exceed the goal. Her pride and ego rivals those of men, especially when it comes to sex. If you want to get the full scope of the female Aquarius sexual prowess, just tell her that she can't do whatever it is you want her to. Being the contradictory individual she is, she will work hard to prove you wrong.
Good luck seducing this one. If you do, don't think it was all your idea. She's had her eye on you for awhile.

If you've read my bio then you already know that I'm someone who has battled with weight issues pretty much my entire life. Getting into triathlon a few years ago forced me to take a good and long, hard look at myself and my eating habits. What I found was that my cabinets were filled with tons of overly processed foods that were easily winning me over because they were "100 calorie packs" or "low fat". I also had plenty of boxed mac-and-cheeses, rices, and pastas. You know. The good ol' carb-loading side dishes. My freezer was stocked with "diet" frozen meals…every brand. Maybe the occasional carton of ice cream (contradictory to the diet frozen meals, I know). You name it, I had it. Oh, and meats. What you wouldn't find in my kitchen were fresh fruits and vegetables and definitely nothing that was natural or organic.
At the start of 2012, though, I decided to start following a vegetarian diet. Why? At the time, my main reason was that it was going to keep me from going through fast food drive-thrus. If I couldn't order that hamburger or 20-piece chicken nuggets, then there was really no reason for me to be eating fast food (which was absolutely a weakness of mine). As time passed, being a vegetarian actually made me more conscious of what I was eating and I started paying more attention to labels. I started replacing some of my old grocery store buys with more natural and wholesome foods. And yes, I actually felt better and was slowly dropping the weight. When people would ask me why I was choosing to be vegetarian my answer was simply, "I just feel better and have more energy." It was the truth, simple as that may seem. Eventually, though, my heart caught up and I started to consider the animals that were involved. Don't worry, though. I won't get on my soapbox.
But then there's always the "But where do you get your PROTEIN from?" question. This is a question I have come to loathe. See, I've come to learn that it doesn't matter if I list out the amount of protein in everything I eat, people will still question me. I never push my lifestyle on others, but I have found that people often want to question why I'm a vegetarian as if it's some horrible thing that I don't eat animals and I only eat plants. If people ask why I'm not eating something at a party or social event, I typically answer with the short but sweet, "it's a decision that has helped me become more healthy and I feel good knowing that I'm doing my part to save animals." This answer is usually followed by the….(insert cricket sounds)….and then the "P" word. Protein. "But aren't you afraid that you're not getting enough protein? How do you race without protein? You raced an Ironman without eating meat?" Yes. Yes, I get enough protein. And yes, I have finished 2 Ironman races….powered by plants!
Moving on. So about 5 weeks ago, I really started to consider the vegan lifestyle and cutting dairy and eggs from my diet. And, in just those short 5 weeks of doing so, I have felt AMAZING! I'm happier and my body just feels like it's processing foods better and faster. I was skeptical that I wouldn't be able to stay away from cheese (another weakness) but I can honestly say that I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything! My Ironman training is going well and I've not felt any issues from this change in diet. But….yes, there's always a BUT. This just means more awkward conversations at work lunches, parties, etc. because now there's more foods that I won't be eating. And heaven knows that "P" word will certainly come up. In that question. I found this t-shirt over the weekend and love it:
So, for you vegetarians and vegans out there….how do you handle these questions?? I don't want to push my lifestyle on anyone, but I also don't want to feel like I have to answer question after question to defend why I choose to live this way. I'm new to this whole vegan way of life, so I'd love to hear from some of you!

NiSi 150mm Q Filter Holder For Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G
or make 4 interest-free payments of $47.25 AUD fortnightly with More infoIN STOCK
NiSi 150mm filter holders are made from aviation-grade aluminium with single element processed by CNC machine with Matte black frosted finish on the surface. The screw accessory is made of copper and with black nickel plating. It's durable and will reduce the influence of stray light on the imaging. The NiSi 150mm Filter Holder for Nikon 14-24mm is specially designed to be used with the Nikon AF-s 14-24mm F/2.8G lens but may also work with other wide angle lenses.
Square and rectangular filter systems solve problems that round, screw-on filters often cannot resolve. To begin with, one square or rectangular filter can be used with many different size lenses. As long as you have the appropriate size adapter rings, in most cases, one filter will serve the purpose.
Another benefit is if you are shooting a landscape where the horizon line is off-centre and you want to balance the light intensity in both parts of the scene, i.e. bright sky, shaded foreground. Rectangular filters allow the transition to be blended into the scene, often imperceptibly. This is because they can be shifted up and down in the filter holder to fit the scene as desired. Some graduated rectangular filters are available with soft or hard transitions from dark to clear. The soft edge is recommended for wide-angle lenses and the hard edge is recommended for normal and longer lenses.
- High-quality aviation aluminium.
- Precise CNC machining.
- Black frosted surface.
- Anti-reflective design.
- Copper screw plated with black nickel.
- Quick installation.
- Withstand extreme temperature.
- Compatible with 150mm square filters (2mm Thickness).
- Allow up to 3 filters to be used together.
- Design for use on super wide angle lenses, specifically the Nikon AF-s 14-24mm f/2.8G.
- No black corners or vignetting.

Colbert Exercises His First On The Second
"Like anybody setting up a new government, the founders added a clause that said, 'If you don't like what we're doing, feel free to shoot us.'"
"The Second Amendment is like the ultimate veto," he continued. "It's almost like a Constitutional pre-nup."
All of it, funny, funny shit.
