Sincere to the meat of fighting scenes in the film have a lot of fun fierce boxing plot, many fierce fights are personal and starring. Before the viewers are lamenting in violent fighting scenes, especially as Jack – Gyllenhaal is a professional boxer, including Mexico lightweight champion Victor Ortiz, even champion Tyson also had to set crew, for Jack Gyllenhaal for guidance. The director said: "the audience see the fight scenes, I can assure you is true, we did not find any substitute, Jack is on their own.

Kulos' having a bath at the moment so I thought I'd do something else while I waited;
The topic of today's post is all about the MK 14 Bullock jet cycle. First illustrated by Pete Knifton, way back 1987 I think? His vision of what an RT jet bike should look like was the "ducks guts" in my opinion. But unfortunately, when the actual mini was released, I thought it looked shite. The reason's? Let me list them for you from my lofty position:
Firstly the poor guy can't even sit in the damn thing. I think I understand why GW went this way....using the placky marines from the RBT01 range was an easy fit. Whatever the real reason, they just look plain wrong standing in the saddle :(
Second, The bike is way too small. Reminds me of those monkeys you see in Circus acts. You know the ones, where they force the poor chimp to ride a kids bike around the circus arena dressed up as a clown.....fail.
Third, the sculpting is really quite poor. Not much detailing on the bike itself & the side skirt thingy looks like it was knocked up in a couple of minutes....really, I'm not joking! I kinda get the impression that it was rushed through production.
Lastly, and most importantly, it just doesn't have any real "presence" on the pretend battlefield. The "I'm a bad hombre riding a big fuck off jet bike", kinda presence! The only image that comes to my mind when I see them is "Look! Here's comes something that looks like a monkey fucking a football!" It's a bit of an extreme description, but it's the true, full-stop!
So, what's the point to all my venting? Well, I aim to rectify the manifold design deficiencies in the original. No matter how personally ill conceived they may be. Come hell or high water I'm gunna make this thing look as suitably intimidating as I possibly can....the way Pete Knifton envisaged it to be way back in 87.
I'm gunna take this travesty:
And turn it into this:
|This is Roebeasts awesome colourised version of Pete Kniftons' original Illustration. What a beast!
Here are the main areas I'll be concentrating on modifying:
Hopefully, once all these steps have been carried out it should look the goods :)
I've already begun a small part of this project by modifying a set of RBT01 legs, so that the poor bugger can can sit in the seat.
Yet another project to occupy my time with :)

We've been following the growing Sunni "insurgency" against al Qaeda and its mostly-foreign terrorists that is spreading throughout Iraq. I've only seen the latest news reported in Malaysia's New Straits Times: "Iraqi gunmen kill Qaeda's Fallujah leader:"
Unidentified gunmen shot dead a local Al-Qaeda leader in the western Iraqi city of Fallujah on Saturday, police said, as fighting between rival Sunni factions undermined the insurgency.
The apparent assassination of the militant kingpin came as the US military announced that marines and Iraqi security forces had killed seven Al-Qaeda fighters during an assault on a truck bomb factory.
Both incidents appeared to be linked to increased cooperation between Sunni factions, once sympathetic to the Iraqi resistance, and the US military, which is encouraging nationalist factions to fight Al-Qaeda.
Fallujah is the focus of a large-scale security operation in which Iraqi police and tribal levies, backed by US forces, are trying to drive out Al-Qaeda Islamist militants.
Saturday's killing came after the Anbar Salvation Council, the armed wing of the province's tribal coalition, announced that it was sending plainclothes "secret police" to Baghdad to kill Al-Qaeda leaders. The council, whose fighters include thousands of former insurgents, has fallen out with Al-Qaeda and thrown its lot in with US forces. It has sent gunmen to join the Iraqi police and pro-US tribal levies.
Earlier this week, fierce street battles erupted in west Baghdad between nationalist Sunni militants and Al-Qaeda.
American newspapers will be covering these promising developments any day now.

NHL-high five Blackhawks named to Canada's Olympic Orientation Campby Brad Boron / Chicago Blackhawks
|Duncan Keith will be vying to return to the Olympics for the second time in four seasons (Photo by Getty Images).
An NHL-high five Blackhawks were named to Team Canada's Olympic Orientation Camp on Monday, the first step toward making the national team that will compete for gold in Sochi, Russia, this coming February. Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews, alternate captains Duncan Keith and Patrick Sharp, as well as Brent Seabrook and Corey Crawford will all attend the camp in Calgary this August, along with 42 other Olympic hopefuls.
Of the five Blackhawks attending the camp, three - Toews, Keith and Seabrook - were part of Canada's gold medal-winning squad from the 2010 Vancouver games. Sharp won silver with Team Canada in the 2008 IIHF World Championship. Were he to make the squad, the 2014 Winter Olympics would be Crawford's first time representing his country at any level of international play.
Chicago is the only NHL team to have five players in the camp with hopes of joining Canada's national team, led by Executive Director Steve Yzerman and coached by Detroit Red Wings bench boss Mike Babcock. The camp roster consists of five goaltenders, 17 defensemen and 25 forwards.
Canada's Orientation Camp roster shares 34 Stanley Cup rings between all of its participants, 9 of which belong to the Blackhawks' participants.

1 I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything, 2but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. 3In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. 4But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. 6And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba!
The Children of Israel: Who Are They?
Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.
Notice that the whole of God's people was that of Jacob's Children (Children of Israel). At the end of chapter 2 we read, ""¦and God remembered his covenant he made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." We know that Jacob's name was changed to Israel. Thus, we conclude, according to the precedent set so far in Scripture, that God is dealing with the Hebrew people covenantally. It is interesting to note that God doesn't make a distinction bewteen the righteous children of Jacob and the unrighteous children. Rather, he refers to all of Jacob's descendants.
The Lord Will Provide
And Isaac said to his father Abraham, "My father!" And he said, "Here am I, my son." He said, "Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?" Abraham said, "God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So they went both of them together. – Genesis 22:7-8
Abraham, at this point, has already been counted righteous by his faith (Gen 15:6), so we know he had strong faith. It is again exemplified here in this foreshadowing of Christ's precious sacrifice. Abraham, his "only son" Isaac, and some servants have been travelling for a few days and the Scripture recounts Abraham telling his servants this (Gen 22:5): Stay here with the donkey; I and the boy will go over there and worship and come again to you.…Read More

Chai Overnight Oats
These Chai overnight oats are insanely simple, and so tasty! Chai seeds can have a really strong, almost overwhelming flavor, but when you prepare them this way, mixed with some berries (or other fruit), a bit of sweetener, and these are divine. They are also deceivingly filling. You feel like you're barely dishing yourself a serving, then you'll be struggling to finish, and reminding yourself to take a smaller portion next time. These Chai overnight oats are going to be lifesavers for work, and a nice change from our usual breakfast choices.
1/2 cup Quaker Oats rolled oats
1/4 cup chai seeds
1 cup milk
pinch of salt and cinnamon
maple syrup, or other sweetener like honey, agave nectar, etc - to taste
1 cup frozen berries, blended in blender or ninja chopper
Yogurt, if desired
Fresh berries, if desired
Brown sugar, about 1/2 Tbsp. per serving, if desired
Coconut flakes, if desired
Almonds, if desired
Place the o
Puree the berries.
Stir oats with your frozen berry puree and top with yogurt and more berries, nuts, honey, coconut flakes, etc.

My aunt spins her own yarn and has a farm she visits where she gets her wool, from Jacob sheep and alpacas. I got to go meet her "donors," and they are indeed so sweet!ReplyDelete
I bet those alpacas are pleased to be rid of their thick coats in this heat! Lovely arm warmers...so luxurious!ReplyDelete
Bellaboo :0)
That wool is beautiful! What a pleasure to work with such a nice natural product. Those alpacas look like they are so sweet!ReplyDelete

You're going to be spinning your own yarn next. It seems that most avid knitters/crocheters(??) get to that point. Do you follow @spinndiva on twitter and @fallingstitches?ReplyDelete
My Mum keeps Llamas which are similar to Alpacas at her school. Our kids love to go over and see them, beautiful creatures and so gentle. Not sure Llamas are used fo their wool though.
Your armwarmers are lovely! xx
LOVE the arm-warmers :o) wool is a gorgeous colour and looks really cosy too!ReplyDelete

Backstreet's back, alright. Alright!
This time, the gang's making their way around the world to celebrate 25 years together. If you recall, the Backstreet Boys formed in 1993 in Orlando. That's a long time! Heck, they've been around since the first Beanie Babies were launched! They also rumored to be working on a new album!
Everybody, get ready to rock your body international style!
As for now, the band's been on tour in Las Vegas since March performing at The AXIS At Planet Hollywood. This tour has been extended and tickets are now on sale for shows that will take place November through February.
The stars dominated Billboard's Hot 100 Chart back in the day, so who's to say they can't do it again? They quickly rose to fame with their hit albums, "Millenium" and "Backstreet's Back" albums. There's no denying that the Grammy-nominated band seized every girl's hearts from the get-go. C'mon! You can't deny you had "I'll Never Break Your Heart" and "Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely" on repeat!
Stay tuned for details on the boys' upcoming World Tour!

Abrahamson: Frequently Asked Questions and Answers Question:
Does The Abrahamson Center give refunds?
Answer: The Abrahamson Center does not give refunds. The good name and reputation of our company was built on fairness and transparency, and not on marketing slogans. The refunding of money under the slogan of "you don't stop, you don't pay" may help marketing and sales, but negatively affects the motivation and commitment of the client towards the treatment. That encourages failure, and encourages a return to smoking. Sit quietly and close your eyes for a moment – what would happen if, when you walk out of your treatment, you were told that if you start smoking again, you'll get a "prize"? At the Abrahamson Center, you'll be given individual treatment, along with our system of support, and the backing of our 52 treatment specialists, staff members, advisors, nutritional specialists, detoxification specialists, workshop leaders, and cooking and baking advisors. Should the need arise, additional treatments are available at no extra cost, no conditions and no limits, for an entire year. All this, and we're available every day, from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm, with the expectation of 100% success – a system like no other in Israel!
Question: It's just before my treatment. Is there anything I need to do or to buy?
Answer: When weaning off of sugar and gluten, there isn't a drastic change in diet. Of course, it's recommended to make sure that there are certain ingredients that are handy, such as: eggs, dairy products, meats, fish, a variety of legumes (lentils, garbanzo beans/hummous, beans, mung beans, split peas, etc.), fruit, vegetables, and grains that are gluten-free (quinoa, buckwheat or kasha, amaranth, millet, sorghum, rice, sweet potatoes, etc.). For the first month, it's recommended that you purchase crunchy buckwheat crackers, and a sweetener such as sucrose, agave syrup, stevia, maple syrup or date honey – all without added sugar, of course.
Question: I suffer from constipation. What should I do?
Answer: Nutrition that's sugar-free and gluten- free returns our body's digestive system to its correct, healthy state. For years, our bodies have become used to mostly processed foods, and it follows that, as we switch to natural, unprocessed nutritional ingredients, we will experience digestive difficulties. These are normal changes that initially appear as we change our diet. As we become accustomed to better, healthier food, these difficulties will disappear. In the meantime, you can increase your liquid intake, and that of food that has nutritional fiber (vegetables, legumes, grains, flax seeds, anise seeds, and prune juice. You can even blend prune juice and flax seeds, and soak them overnight in boiling water). Reduce the amount of crackers you eat, eat more fresh fruit, even after meals. For more advice, please contact the nutritional treatment advisor at the Center.
Question: What kind of sweets can be eaten as alternatives to regular sugar?
Answer: At the Abrahamson Center, we recommend healthy nutrition beyond weaning off of sugar and gluten. Artificial sweeteners can be used within this framework, but we don't recommend them. Artificial sweeteners are not chemically recognized by our bodies, and therefore negatively affect a wide variety of body processes. Natural sweeteners that are considered acceptable for use are: Crystalline sugar, fruit sugar (sucrose), grape sugar (fructose), liquid sweeteners: honey,date honey (silan) stevia agave, maple syrup. Don't forget to check the labels of every product listed here, to make sure that no sugar has been added to the original product. Products with added sugar should not be used!!! Sweeteners not allowed for use (disaccharides): cane sugar/sucrose, maltose inverted sugar, molasses, (a processed product of cane sugar), demarara sugar, caramel, corn syrup.
Question: Why is there a separation of carbohydrates and proteins?
Answer: When these two substances are combined, the carbohydrates inhibit the digestion of the proteins, which slows down the digestive process and causes weight gain. It also results in fermentation in the stomach and causes a feeling of tiredness and bloating. During a meal, meat, chicken, fish or eggs are eaten only with vegetables, or grains and legumes.
Question: What is gluten?
Answer: Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, oats, semolina, couscous, wheat germ, unleavened flour, bulgur, malt, and of course, all of the products which are made from these ingredients. When we ingest gluten we create a layer of a glue-like substance that coats the intestines, and is an obstacle to the absorption of nutrients through the intestines into the body. Eating gluten causes many problems, such as: intestinal gas, tiredness, weakness, migraine, stomach pains, skin rashes, diarrhea, weight gain, and many other conditions. Many of those treated who arrive at the Center wishing to wean off of sugar and gluten, discover that avoiding gluten in their diet solves health problems that had proved difficult to address within conventional medicine.
Question: Is this a diet?
Answer: Weaning off of sugar and gluten at the Abrahamson Center is not a diet. The word "diet" literally means a specific menu – at the Abrahamson Center, nutritional weaning includes guidance and advice for healthy, correct eating. There are many diets available today – diets that cannot be sustained over time because of their many restrictions. Weaning at the Abrahamson Center is geared to fit in with our lives for the long term. The Center's way of eating is not in opposition to our regular life, but is in addition to it – a way of weaning from certain things that comfortably blends with our lives and does not radically restrict us. It's important to understand that we're talking about a healthier, more correct way of life, and as a result, of better treatment of our bodies. Our bodies respond positively, without becoming stressed by radical nutritional changes for the single purpose of a weight-loss diet.
Question: How much does the treatment cost?
Answer: The cost of treatment is £450. The treatment package includes full use of the wide variety of services available at the Abrahamson Center: We provide comprehensive availability for consultation, support, and personal accompaniment of each person. Immediate telephone support is available every day until 04:00 pm, and on Friday until 12:00 pm.

Wow, that is huge! I don't blame you for being concerned about it running around the neighborhood. Earlier this week, we had a lizzard run in our house when the back door was open. Not one of those tiny cute lizzards, but a fat looking one similiar the one you are showing. Just not as big.
My Mom did attempt for a long time to direct it back out the door, but it wouldn't let her catch it, nor would it go back out. We sure didn't want it in the house because no telling where it would go or how long it could live in a comfortable house, we didn't have much choice except to take care of it any way we could.
If I saw one as big as yours, I'd be concerned to garden too!

My husband is a forester in southeastern NC and familiar with most of the local wildlife. He, did not recognize this as anything he has seen before. But we googled spiny tailed lizard and what do you know, there was this creature's family. The Spiny Tailed Lizard is native to the desert of the Middle East, so this guy must have either escaped from some type of zoo or been released by someone who decided it was to ugly to keep as a pet.

I was so intrigued by your photo so I Googled the features and I think that what you may have there is what they call a Dhubb.
Believe it or not, they are from Egypt, Palestine or Saudi Arabia. They are cave dwelling reptiles and get up to 3 ft. in length?
Check out Google images.
They are the only jagged spiney taled lizards that I could find that look like a turtle and have short limbs.
Next question, how did it get there!
Couldn't find anything about them being a registered pet import!

Whether it be a commercial building or a personal building, there are major factors that need to be taken care of. Out of all that needs to be taken care of, the maintained that is given to the building is important. You should make sure that you always focus on maintaining a pleasant environment because that is how you can simply get down with all the needed work without any down comings and live a quality life. To maintain a building is never is easy. However, there are certain things that should not be missed on. Maintaining the basic and the most useful needs of the building will assure that quality of lifestyle and the work which is done is of high standards. Here are some of the things that you need to know when maintaining a building:
The cleanliness
To maintain good physical and mental health, cleanliness in any type of a building is a must. When taking a look at a house, if the house is clean and organized, all of the household work will be disrupted. For example, if you don't pay enough attention to the cleanliness of your house, places such as the kitchen and bathroom will turn into a breeding ground for bacteria or if the bedrooms aren't kept clean, you will not be able to get a decent sleep. Yes, the cleanliness in your house will affect your whole life. You might not be having time to pay attention to the cleaning the house due to your hectic lifestyle. If it is the case, you can make your life much easier and your home much cleaner with house cleaning services. When it comes to the cleanliness in a commercial building. If the interior is not kept clean and organized, it will affect the productivity of the business. the employees will have trouble working in the environment, will have to deal with major distractions, the time taken to complete one task will increase and the list of cons that will happen to your business if the cleanliness isn't maintained goes on and on. Moreover, if the washrooms and all the other areas of the commercial building aren't kept clean, your employees will have to go through the trouble and will not be satisfied working for you. Therefore, it is a must that you use commercial cleaning Melbourne.
The help of the professional
If you think that it is the time that you focus on the maintained that needs to be given to the building, to expect a quality result and to gain the best for the price that you pay, you need to get the help of the professionals. With the help of professionals, quality work will be ensured.

GloZell Green politely listened as one of the two security guards escorting her just 200 or so feet from her hotel to the Anaheim Convention Center rambled on about A-list stars — ahem, Tom Cruise — whom he has safeguarded at one point or another. He, though, had never heard of Green.
Then a corner was turned.
"Oh, my God, it's GloZell!"
"GloZell, ahhhhh!"
"GloZell, is you OK?"
One by one, then all at once, a crowd of mostly preteens and young adults waiting in the snaking line for the convention center to open spotted Green's signature grassy green-coated lips and quickly transformed into a pipsqueak army of cellphone paparazzi.
An A-List YouTube star had arrived — and yes, that's her real name.
"Security doesn't know who us YouTubers are, but they know who Justin Bieber is," she whispered. Guards hear they're paired with someone named GloZell, and they're not prepared to "get trampled by tiny girls."
The equivalent of a video Pez dispenser was taking part in panel discussions and a signing at VidCon, the three-day online-video convention that ended Saturday. Green might not be a household name by traditional standards, but barge into a teen's room and his or her computer history may well have evidence of Green's star power.
The comic has produced an extensive library of outrageously off-kilter videos of random musings and bizarre challenges, including "My Push Up Bra Will Help Me Get My Man," which arguably put her on the YouTube map, and her infamous "Cinnamon Challenge," wherein she dared to put a ladle full of ground cinnamon in her mouth. Each video racked up more than 20 million views.
Then there are her celebrity impersonations of Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Rihanna and Lady Gaga that have users clicking up a storm. She has nearly 3 million subscribers and 500 million video views on her YouTube channel to show for it — and a legion of fans saying her catch-phrase intro: "Is you OK? Is you good, 'cause I want to know." Last December, YouTube used her as part of its video commemorating its most popular videos of 2013.
"She is such a character," said super fan and VidCon attendee Katherine Berry, 18, of Palo Alto. "For a while I thought it was an act, but she's authentic, and it's crazy. Her challenges and music covers are my favorite to watch out of all other YouTubers."
By Internet standards, Green, 41, is a veteran — much like Cruise — at a time when the likes of Tyler Oakley, a mid-20s vlogger for LBGT rights whose channel has more than 4.6 million subscribers, have popped up.
Her postings have been few and far between now that she's a newlywed (Green married her manager in 2013), but her star power hasn't weakened, as evidenced by fans tripping over one another, trying to snap a photo as Green made her way into VidCon.
"I can't stop all of this even if I wanted," she said. "Someone is always taking a video of me or snapping a photo. It's almost like a Diana Ross. She is always going to be Diana Ross, she doesn't have to put out another album to keep at it. I'm not Diana, but people know me from the stuff that I've done. And that stuff, those videos, live forever and will continue to be discovered by a new users."
Her YouTube fame happened by chance. The Florida native moved to Los Angeles in 2003 to pursue a career in comedy. A friend who worked at NBC suggested that Green, who had grown tired of the night life of comedy, attend free tapings of "The Tonight Show" as a sort of crash course in comedy. Green wrote about her adventures on a blog titled "GloZell Loves Jay Leno." She attended more than 600 tapings and posted videos of encounters with people in line.
"I only started uploading on YouTube because I was having trouble one day uploading a video on my blog," Green said. Her first video upload was in 2008.
When Leno tried a show at the 10 p.m. hour, Green didn't follow him, so the videos stopped. And people noticed.
"I was just posting so I could embed on my blog," said Green, who at the time worked as a massage therapy instructor. "I had no idea I had a viral hit [the push-up bra video] going on because I wasn't looking at it. And when I stopped posting, people were like, 'Where are the videos?' And I'd tell them that I hadn't talked to anyone because I hadn't gone to a Leno taping. And they were like 'But we were watching because of you.' And that's when it clicked."
Green, her boisterous persona dialed down when she's not in front of the camera, admitted YouTube turned out to be just what she didn't know she needed.
"YouTube is so much better than stand-up for me," she said. "Comedy clubs are usually not in the best of neighborhoods. And being a female, you have to worry about dealing with weirdos at the club or walking to your car late at night. With YouTube, sometimes I'm in my pajamas. And I don't have to worry about my set getting bumped."
But even she admits the makeup of her fan base confused her. At her first meet-and-greet, which took place at a yogurt shop, Green thought she got the date wrong or the event had been double-booked because the crowd consisted largely of white kids.
"That's when I realized this YouTube thing was something different," she said. "They don't care about your age, what your background is, what your religion is. I assumed my audience looked like me. I thought it was a bunch of Oprahs walking around."
Although Michelle Phan, one of YouTube's top beauty personalities, recently broke out with her own makeup line with L'Oreal, Green is still perplexed by the lack of diversity among YouTubers.
"The back of the VidCon packet was mostly sea of white faces — and that just represents a larger issue within the online video world," she said. "Yeah, there are Asians and African Americans breaking through, but there could be more. And there should be more."
While most YouTube personalities are content living in that world of notoriety, GloZell would like to transition to TV or film. She has a line in the upcoming Kevin Hart movie "The Wedding Ringer," said her husband-manager, Kevin "SK" Simon.
Green is one of the few YouTube sensations who has sustained a living on her online fame. Revenue comes from ads placed on her videos or from companies that ask to use her videos on their site. Then there are brand deals. She recently scored a deal with shoemaker Crocs, which has made cameos in her videos before.
"I'm getting paid pretty good," Green said of the deal. 'I'm excited about it. It's my first big one. And it helps out for a little while." During a brief break between panels, Green was being assisted by reps from Facebook who were helping her eliminate fake profiles that drive away numbers from her total.
"Companies look at numbers," she said. "Hopefully, this will drive up my numbers.
"I've blazed my trail. Now I'm looking for the next step, with the Internet and outside of it."

The Methane Suite is a section aboard Covenant ships, such as Minor Transgression, where Unggoy soldiers can live in a Methane filled environment while not supported by the pressurized methane provided by their suits. Dadab describes the suite as being a box-like room with triangular depressions in the wall and as stale as the methane in their tanks; compressor stations for refilling Unggoy portable methane tanks.[1] The room also features the Food Nipple.
- Methane Suites can also be transported to the surface of a world so Unggoy can be out of their masks without being on a starship.

Rally for Your Republic Now…or Lose It Forever
by Susan Westfall
"A watched kettle never boils." A sage piece of advice for cooks or anyone waiting for something to come to fruition. Unfortunately for us, we seem to have applied that advice to ourselves and ceased watching the governmental cauldron that is Washington, D.C. Bad move – a very bad move. Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry and Wendell Phillips have all reminded us, at one time or another, that "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." Would that we had listened better. Perhaps we would not presently be hurtling into the Keynesian abyss on a FED powered train from hell. This of course after having been groped (for our own safety) prior to forced boarding.
However, we are. So, it's time to stop lying to ourselves and each other. We, the people, have been complacent and apathetic too long. Blind far, far too long. The crisis we find ourselves in today is our own fault. The peoples' fault. We forgot to be vigilant. We prospered, we got comfortable, and we decided to leave governing to the well-intentioned politicians and 'experts' who knew best how to run the country and maintain our prosperity. At least – that's what they told us and apparently what they thought. Look around…how well has that worked out for us? Daniel Webster warned long ago, "Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters." And master they did, but they were not "masters" of anything except a slow, insidious destruction. Time to admit and correct the mistakes.
America was founded on a vision of liberty and protection for all individuals. Each and everyone of us is an individual. Sovereign to none but God. Equal one to another in liberty and sovereignty – if we but believe it. Government does not give us liberty, nor can government raise or lower us in any truly meaningful way. Under the Constitution, the sole purpose of government is to protect the liberty of each and every one of us regardless of race, gender, or party. So throw off the yoke of assigned groupings used to perpetuate strife and divisions. Have confidence in your worth. You, me, WE are the REAL power. Stand up, stand together and let your voices be heard. Our country is too big, our population too diverse for us all to agree on everything. However, we can agree on a few big issues which we all hold dear. What could be dearer than the ideals of liberty? It's time to remember that America is a Republic, not a democracy. Time to remember that the government our ancestors created – as sovereign peoples of their respectively sovereign state(s) compacting together – was formed to restrain the government and never the people.
The Rest…HERE

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Digital discount broker E*Trade Financial Corp on Thursday bid farewell to the precocious baby who starred in the television commercials advertising its trading platform for the last seven years.
Or rather it gave the baby with the baritone voice the chance to angrily announce that he has resigned.
In a 30-second ad that debuted during the opening games of the NCAA March Madness tournament, a singing cat named Beanie interrupts the baby's announcement that he is funding his retirement account through E*Trade.
Told that the cat, who bursts into song with nonsensical lyrics about bundling and options and ETFs, is his new sidekick, the baby smashes his cellphone and barks: "I'm done. I'm out of here."
For the brokerage firm that is recovering from a near-fatal venture into mortgage lending and banking, the baby's retirement
is no laughing matter.
Chief Executive Officer Paul Idzik said soon after his arrival in January 2013 that E*Trade was taking the wrong approach to marketing and should be more scientific in measuring how its messages resonate with clients. He fired marketing head Nick Utton, along with many other top executives. Last summer, he replaced Grey Advertising, which created the baby ads, with Oglivy & Mather.
"The baby was a wonderful iconic expression of what we were," new chief marketing officer Liza Landsman told Reuters. "But we want something that better reflects our present and where we are going."
She wouldn't be specific about the new marketing campaign that will be launched in the next few weeks, but said it will be delivered mostly through online channels such as Yahoo Finance, search engines such as Google and Bing and social networks such as Facebook rather than on television.
An increasing number of E*Trade clients of all ages and wealth levels are using digital means to research investment ideas, communicate with each other and trade. Digital reflects the client experience and is "becoming the brand, to a certain extent," Landsman said.
E*Trade President Navtej Nandra, who like Landsman was hired last May, told Reuters that about 10 percent of the company's trades are now executed through mobile and tablet devices, just behind the 12 percent of trades that rival TD Ameritrade Holdings recently said were sent through smartphones and other mobile devices.
Nandra described the firm as a "digital hybrid" that works across many platforms, including those that rely on customer service representatives and live advisers for clients who want the "human touch." E*Trade is no longer trying to be all things to all people, he said, but it is also going well beyond its old image as a firm whose major appeal is discounted stock trading commissions.
Landsman promised that the new campaign will be as iconic and "witty" as the baby-centric ads. She also said that the firm's advertising budget is "up a little" from last year.

European Commission
Press release
Brussels, 1 October 2014
State aid: Commission adopts a package of decisions regarding public support to airports and airlines in Belgium, Germany, Italy and Sweden
The European Commission has adopted seven decisions following in-depth investigations concerning public support granted to airports and airlines in Belgium, Germany, Italy and Sweden. In particular, the Commission has concluded that the airports of Zweibrücken (Germany) and Charleroi (Belgium) received state aid which was incompatible with EU rules and must now be recovered. In addition, the Commission has opened an in-depth investigation concerning state financial support granted to certain airlines flying from Bruxelles-National airport (Zaventem). The decisions are based on the Commission's new guidelines on state aid to airports and airlines (see IP/14/172) adopted in February 2014 as part of its State Aid Modernisation (SAM) strategy (see IP/12/458). For further information on each of the decisions please see MEMO/14/544.
Commission Vice President Joaquín Almunia in charge of competition policy said: "EU state aid rules allow public authorities to grant support to airports where it is justified, in particular where it improves the accessibility of a region and provides a significant contribution to its economic development. However, duplicating unprofitable airport infrastructure or unduly favouring certain airlines wastes taxpayers' money and distorts competition in the Single Market."
Today, the Commission has adopted decisions on two types of measures:
As regards financial support to airports, the Commission has taken into consideration the importance of those airports for local accessibility and economic development as well as the need to prevent or redress undue harm to competing airports. In line with these principles, the Commission has fully approved the state aid granted to the airports of Frankfurt-Hahn and Saarbrücken in Germany, Alghero in Italy and Västerås in Sweden.
In the case of the Zweibrücken airport in Germany, the Commission found that both investment aid and operating aid paid to the airport manager since 2000 are incompatible with the Single Market. Considering that Zweibrücken airport is located approximately 40 kilometers by road from Saarbrücken airport, which had been in operation for decades, had not operated at full capacity when Zweibrücken airport entered the market, and was loss-making, the Commission found that the aid to Zweibrücken airport unnecessarily duplicated already existing, unprofitable airport infrastructure in the same region. Therefore, the aid cannot be justified under EU state aid rules, and gave an undue economic advantage to Zweibrücken airport over its competitors, in particular Saarbrücken airport. This incompatible aid must now be paid back.
As to Charleroi airport in Belgium, the Commission acknowledged that the aid granted to the airport has allowed it to develop considerably since 2002, which has contributed significantly to the economic development of the Walloon Region. However, the aid has procured a considerable economic advantage to Charleroi airport and thereby caused significant distortions of competition which increased over time, as the airport's traffic was growing. In view of these positive and negative effects, the Commission considered, on balance, that part of this aid can be authorised and that Charleroi airport has to pay back the remainder, amounting to around €6 million. Moreover, Belgium has to ensure that as of now, the concession fee paid by the airport manager in exchange for the right to operate the infrastructures commercially is increased so that it reflects a fair market price.
The Commission has also found that certain agreements concluded by the managers of Zweibrücken and Alghero airports procured the beneficiary airlines an undue economic advantage which they need to pay back. The airlines concerned are TUIFly, Germanwings (a subsidiary of Deutsche Lufthansa) and Ryanair in the case of Zweibrücken airport, and Meridiana and Germanwings in the case of Alghero airport. The Commission's analysis has demonstrated that these airlines paid less than the additional costs linked to their presence in the airport. For Västerås, Frankfurt-Hahn, Saarbrücken and Charleroi airports, the Commission concluded that the relevant airlines - notably Ryanair - received no undue advantage, because they paid a price higher than the additional costs borne by the airport as a result of the activities covered by the agreements.
Finally, the Commission has opened an in-depth investigation into a Belgian scheme, granting around €19 million of public money per year over the period 2014-2016 to the manager of Bruxelles-National airport (Zaventem airport), who is then to redistribute those amounts to certain airlines flying from the airport. Most of the money was to be allocated to Brussels Airlines. The Commission has concerns that this measure would lead to public money being used to fund ordinary operating costs of selected airlines without furthering any objective of common interest.
For more details on the decisions adopted today, see MEMO/14/544.
The new aviation guidelines (see IP/14/172, MEMO/14/121 and Policy Brief) provide Member States with flexibility for granting necessary investment aid to regional airports. Moreover, operating aid can be granted for airports with less than three million passengers during a transitional period of ten years. Airports with less than 700 000 passengers can benefit from operating aid without a transitional period.
The objective of the guidelines is to preserve the accessibility of regions and foster regional economic development, whilst avoiding the duplication of unprofitable airports, a waste of public resources and undue distortions of competition.
The new guidelines also bring more legal certainty concerning the financial relationships between airports and airlines. The guidelines clearly specify that when setting up agreements with an airline, the airport needs to ensure that the expected costs generated by the agreements will be covered by the corresponding expected revenues. When this is not the case, the airline benefits from an undue advantage which in principle constitutes incompatible state aid.
Since the beginning of 2014, the Commission has already adopted 17 decisions concerning investment and operating aid to airports or airlines: Berlin Schönefeld (IP/14/173), Aarhus (IP/14/174), Marseille (IP/14/175), Ostrava (IP/14/176), Groningen (IP/14/403), Stretto (IP/14/660), Isles of Scilly (IP/14/533), Canary Islands (IP/14/401), Verona (IP/14/402), Gdynia (IP/14/138), Dubrovnik (case SA.38168), Dortmund, Leipzig Halle, Niederrhein-Weeze, Pau, Angoulême and Nîmes (see IP/14/863 and MEMO/14/498).
More information on today's decisions will be available on the competition website, in the public case register under the case numbers SA.18857 (Västeras), SA.38105 (Bruxelles-National), SA.14093 (Charleroi), SA.21121 (Frankfurt-Hahn 1), SA.23098 (Alghero), SA.26190 (Saarbrücken), SA.27339 (Zweibrücken) and SA.32833 (Frankfurt-Hahn 2), once confidentiality issues have been resolved.

Mikhail Blagosklonny is one of the foremost researchers and scientists in oncology. Blagosklonny went to First Pavlov State Medical University of St. Petersburg. He earned a Master's in Internal Medicine and a Doctorate in Cardiology and Medicine from the University. Mikhail moved to the United States and started his career at the New York Medical College as an associate professor of medicine. His work here led to him being offered a position at the Ordway Research Institute on ImpactJournals.com as a senior scientist. He accepted the job and worked at the Institute which is also located in New York for seven years.
Mikhail accepted a position at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute as an oncology professor in 2009. He is a professor at the Institute to date. Blagosklonny's career has revolved around cancer, anti-cancer, and anti-aging treatments. He has been focusing on the relation between aging and the diseases that are associated with aging. Mikhail Blagosklonny has written close to 300 papers which have gotten more than 20,000 citations.
One of his articles talks about the role of TOR signaling in cancer and aging. The key to anti-aging would be to reduce the rate at which this development occurs. Cancer is one of the diseases that arise from development. There are specific cancer treatments on tandfonline.com that delay this development. Rapamycin is one of these drugs. Studies have shown that it increases the life span of people that take it.
Mikhail's research in Oncology led him to start Oncotarget where he is one of the editors-in-chief. Oncotarget is a peer review medical journal on oncology. It is released weekly. It has grown to become one of the top journals in the world since it was started six years ago. The journal has an impact factor of 5.0. This is a testament to the level of quality of the papers that are published in the journal. Oncotarget is released online and is easily accessible. He is currently the editor-in-chief of two other journals known as Aging and Cell Cycle.

Bill Frakes just spoke to the Apple Distinguished Educators here at the institute at the University of Texas in Austin. I hope it is okay with him, but at the end of this blog post, I share his top secret on how to be a world class, Pulitzer prize winning, photographer. I took notes as fast as I could without missing an opportunity to see the amazing visuals that he was sharing. Tomorrow, he will take my picture. But today, today I had the pleasure of hearing him speak. It was very moving. His words and his pictures were incredibly moving. I thought it was a bit of a cliche when people talk about how the ADE experience is life changing. But, listening to Bill speak, seeing his work with his collaborator Laura Heald, did move me. I think he changed the way I think. He certainly has begun to change the way I see.
I move fast. I love to move as fast as I can. My friend Adele Stanfield and I say that we are like hummingbirds and it is natural to us to move fast, it feels right. But, I loved Bill's emphasis on moving slowly. He thinks rapidly and constantly but moves slowly to get inspiration. More specificially, he says he spends the right amount of time to capture. He says it's hard to know what the right amount of time is, which is amazingly true. You never know the right amount of time to get that student to the next level. I think I am just like a photographer, always waiting for the light. Always trying to capture the light. Light is so elusive, but it brings with it the beauty and truth of our best moments.
But, capturing the light is not an accident. It is not about having your camera slung around your neck and it is not about a serendipidous moment. It is about staging moments of greatness. Bill Frakes is a miticulous in his preperation and in his search for light and love and beauty. He carries three journals (yes, paper ones, a man after my heart). One notebook is for stories, another for logistics and a final one for light. The most inspiring to me is the notebook for light. He gathers sketches of situations he sees where light dances in beautiful ways. This is his research for going forward to compose, oh so carefully, his photos and the play of light. A story journal is where he gathers stories like an old retired lady cuts out coupons. Forever curating and gathering and collecting moments and cookie crumbs of life. Each one might seem small and indeed, most do not become epic visual tales. For every 50 or 60 ideas, he and Laura Heald select only 1 or 2. This is the thing about gathering ideas, it is how I imagine mining in the early days: you go through a lot of dirt and rock to strike gold. Gathering your thoughts somewhere as they come to you is so essential for building good ideas and stories. His notebook for logistics is where he plans out all the gear that he will require for shots: lists upon lists upon lists. His pictures are not accidents, the are highly planned, sequenced, researched. They are architectural in process and product. Carefully, lovingly, passionately and meticulously designed and brought to our eyes then bring us to tears. Magnificent is his process and his product. In his casual and humble way, he simply says, "you gotta do what you gotta do."
His parting message was to be a like a silk worm: to take in all these raw materials inside of you and then send them back out into the world into a newer more beautiful form. I feel like this with light sometimes, with the passion I have for my students and teaching. I take in the light that I can from the world, and I try to push that light back out to the people I love, to the students I love. It's our responsibility as photographers, as teachers, as people to capture that beauty and make it something even greater.
I wish I could take a picture tomorrow that would show in my face what I feel in my heart. I wish I knew how to show in a picture my love and my light for teaching and learning. Maybe Bill knows how to capture not just light, but peoples' light. Actually, I am pretty sure he does know how. Every picture he takes is proof. Plus, let me tell you his secret for doing so: he says that all you need to be a photographer is to fall in love every day.
I am taking a course with Howard Rheingold called Introduction to Mind Amplifiers. One of our missions is to blog within the Social Media Classroom about our learning. This is pushing me to discover some important things about myself as a learner, thinker and writer. I am also learning about you, the public. And **you** the public begins with me. I am my first public. This blog is first and foremost a place where I spit out my words onto the screen and watch my ideas congeal into something I can actually hold and take with me into the future.
Part 1: Bloom's Taxonomy for the Reflective Learner
As a thinker, I am learning to think on more than one level. Here is a Prezi by Peter Pappas titled "The Reflective School." He says right up front that when we don't have time to think about our thinking, we are just retelling the days events. He suggests using Bloom's taxonomy for jacking up our reflection. Thank gawd it was not Gardner's multiple intelligences, because that makes me throw up. There, I said it, I don't like Gardner's model of multiple intelligences.
Back to Bloom: remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, create. I need this tattooed on my arm because I can never remember this model. <insert ironic laugher here>.
The full blog post "A Taxonomy of Reflection"included this picture:
For my own reflection here on my blog, I can think of these processes:
Remember: Blog as recount of events
Understand: Blog as recount with links to other blogs and articles
Analyzing: Blog as connecting several events or posts to understand larger pattern in my thinking and work.
Evaluating: Blog as a place to admit to success and failures with qualitative and quantitative data.
Creating: Blog as venue for media texts that tell stories about all the above. Blog as planning platform for next steps.
Part 2: Blogging with Rheingold U
Howard Rheingold suggested watching this video to stretch my thinking about blogging. Andrew Sullivan's video is more than worth watching. Bad for my blogging ego, good for my mind.
I admit that this is not a blog, it's a website. Fine. But it's where I am growing and that's what really counts. If you are growing with me from reading my work and chasing hyperlinks I set down before you, that's great too.
**This page has been updated in order to share the video. Sorry the link was broken earlier.**

Celebrating 15 Years
Over the past 15 years, School on Wheels has helped children experiencing homelessness succeed academically. Each day we work with these children, their parents and teachers to break the cycle of homelessness through education. Thanks to our tutors, sponsors, advocates and community partners, we've made great strides in making a meaningful difference in the lives of our city's most vulnerable children since we first began tutoring in 2001.
Throughout our anniversary year, we'll be celebrating our milestone by sharing stories about those we serve and the community of people who help make it possible. We want to make sure you are part of the conversation. Make sure you don't miss a thing by signing up for Chalk Talk, our monthly email newsletter, and following us on social media! Make sure to find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn. And be sure to check out all the resources on our site for getting more deeply involved or becoming an advocate for those we serve!

Counseling Center
How We Can Help You
The San Juan College (SJC) Counseling Center provides free, solution-focused personal counseling for currently enrolled students at SJC. "Students" include all persons who are registered in a San Juan College credit class. Adult Basic Education, General Education Degree, San Juan College High School, and Dual Credit students are included in this definition.
Counseling Services provides the following:
- Crisis intervention.
- Counseling for such matters as: anxiety, depression, trauma, sexual assault, domestic violence, loneliness, relationship concerns, grief and loss, family stress, sexual orientation, homesickness, college-related transition, and personal growth and development.
- Teaching skills development for academic success, such as test anxiety, stress management, time management, coping skills, and self-esteem.
- Assessment and referral to other campus and community resources.
- Mental health consultation, education, and outreach programs for students, faculty, and staff.
All interactions with counseling services are confidential. This includes scheduling, attendance, content of sessions, progress in counseling, and your counseling records. No record of counseling is contained in any academic, educational, or job placement file. At students' discretion, they may request that a counselor release specific information about their counseling sessions to designated entities. This must be done in writing on a Release of Information form.
Exceptions to Confidentiality
- For medical emergencies.
- If there is evidence of clear and imminent danger of harm to self and/or others – a counselor is legally required to report this information to the authorities responsible for ensuring public safety.
- New Mexico state law requires that anyone who learns of or strongly suspects physical or sexual abuse, or neglect of any person under 18 years of age or of an elder adult, must report this information to appropriate authorities.
- A court order issued by a judge may require a counselor to release information contained in records and/or require a counselor to testify in a court hearing.
- Counselors may consult with other counselors to provide the best possible care. These consultations are for quality assurance of services and professional purposes only.
Scheduling an Appointment
It is recommended that students make appointments for all counseling sessions in order to confirm that a counselor will be available to them. Crisis situations will be handled as quickly as possible by a counselor.
There are several ways to schedule an appointment
- The most convenient method for many students is to call the Counseling Center directly at 505-566-3404.
- Students can stop by the Counseling Center in-person to schedule an appointment.
- Students may send the Counseling Center an email request from their San Juan College email accounts to: email@example.com.
Cancelling Appointments
If a student has a scheduled appointment with a counselor and needs to reschedule the appointment, please call or email the Counseling Center in advance at 505-566-3404 or email@example.com . Please know that we work hard to accommodate the needs of all students on campus and that each appointment is important. Your communication and patience is greatly appreciated.
No Show Policy
We appreciate prompt arrival for appointments. Please notify us at 505-566-3404 if you will be late. Twenty-four hour notification of cancelation allows us to use the time for others. A "No Show" Policy limits the number of No Shows before counseling services are suspended. A student who misses an appointment without notifying the Counselor Center is considered a No Show. Two consecutive No Shows or a total of any three No Shows can generate a suspension from counseling services for a period of three months from the time of the last No Show.
Online & Distance Counseling
The New Mexico Counseling and Therapy Practice Board (NMCTPB) and the New Mexico Social Work Board (NMSWB) do not currently recommend online or distance counseling as an acceptable practice. In New Mexico, the only type of counseling acceptable to these Boards is face-to-face with clients. Due to this position, San Juan College does not provide online/distance counseling at this time. If an off-campus student requests counseling, a referral to a community-based counselor or a helpline in the student's state or vicinity will be made. Any future changes to this policy will remain in alignment with NMCTPB and NMSWB recommendations.
There are multiple reasons for referring clients to community-based therapists. The following reasons are the most common:
- Multiple issues that will likely require extensive therapy
- Current drug and/or alcohol use
- Substance abuse treatment is needed
- Eating disorders treatment is needed
- Inpatient psychiatric treatment is required
- Case management
- Medication management
- Student will be finishing degree or certificate program and be leaving SJC before a reasonable course of treatment can be provided at SJC
- Student stops actively attending classes at SJC
- Couples counseling is required
Clients are obligated to make their own payment arrangements with community-based therapists.
- ULifeline Mental Health Screening
- ULifeline is a comprehensive, confidential, online resource center where students can feel comfortable searching for the information they need regarding mental and emotional health. Take a look around and explore what ULifeline has to offer!
- Hotlines Crisis Intervention
- Mindfulness (Takes you away from SJC website; connects with Loyola University website)

Oliver: The Nightblooms - Butterfly Girl (29 February 1992)
I had a question mark against this when I first heard it. What tipped the balance was listening, in error, to the 8 minute long version which showed up on The Nightblooms' debut album. I adored the slow, meditative build up conjured by that 1-2-3/1-2-3 guitar figure, and the voices coming slowly into focus, like reverse radio waves eventually crystallising into the vocals. The single version, which Peel played on 29/2/92, dispenses with that and comes straight in on the loud clanging guitars, but as you will hear, sound and fury doesn't really have a place here. Putting their trust in Esther Sprikkelman's unadorned vocal (if this had been a British band at the time, it would have been drowned in reverb, I expect), the sun/rain/snow metaphors drift by like clouds in a Yoko Ono lullaby.
It all sounds horribly kitsch, the kind of winsome "slippergaze" that grunge was sent to obliterate, but instead it achieves a kind of beautiful serenity, even through the nihilistic lines: "I don't think and I don't mind. I don't feel and I don't care." I'm also tickled by the fact that the track was apparently recorded over the first two days of 1992. There's a sense of moving from the old to the new, as in from last year to this year. The sudden cut-off at the end encapsulates this completely, as though the butterfly girl has emerged from her chrysalis over the course of the Christmas period and is ready to fly into the new year, at least until the butterfly net of failed resolutions falls on her.

Not only is there no reverb on the lead vocal but, unlike with contemporary 'shoegaze' acts, there's only one guitar and no effects on that either. 'The clouds in a Yoko Ono lullaby': I like that.ReplyDelete
"Imagine the clouds dripping.
Dig a hole in your garden to
put them in."
(from Yoko's fantastic 'Grapefruit' book)
One day, when I'm in the right mood, I hope to read Grapefruit in a double bill with Leonard Cohen's Beautiful Losers.ReplyDelete

For some reason, I just can't keep doing it, but I really want to keep a journal. I want to keep track of things happening during the day. In 6 months time, I want to be able to look up what happened today. This is not just about day to day things, but also work related.
I feel that I'm losing valuable information, after I don't need it right away anymore. As soon as I need that same bit of information again, I need to look it up again or do the same research as I did before.
So what is journaling?
Journaling in its basic form is so simple, so why does it not work for me? Let's have a closer look at journaling, i mean what is it really? You just write down a couple lines each day, like a diary. The important part is that you write just for yourself – so it doesn't have to be an epic masterpiece. You don't write a journal for a bigger audience, the only audience is future yourself.
What I think is important about a journal, is that you do it daily as the day progresses. The best way to capture a moment is to write it down right away, as it happens. It's easy to slack, to skip a couple days, but you probably won't be able to fill in the blanks of those days later on. Everything that happened then, is probably lost.
Modern technology makes it easy
Modern technology makes journaling really easy. You can do it always and everywhere. Everyone has a mobile phone these days. With an app like Evernote, you can attach a photo, a pdf or a web page. Later on, you can search through your notes again and find that exact note where you captured that brilliant idea that you wanted to remember.
The reality is that I struggle with Evernote. I just can't seem to get used to it. It's a real love-hate relationship between Evernote and myself. But what I've learned over the past couple years, it's often not about the tool… I even tried journaling with pen and paper. The reality is, it's all about my motivation to do keep journaling, to keep recording memories. It doesn't matter what tools you use.
Journal for sanity
Matt Medeiros wrote a blog post about how to journal for sanity and that really hit home for me. He struggles with a lot of the same things that I struggle with. I like to listen what smarter people do and Matt is definitely one of them. He does podcasts, blog posts, is all over the internet and now I'm just scratching the surface of what he does.
He does a weekly review, based on his journal entries and goes through the list of things that he did or is going to do in the next week. That's how he stay on top of everything. The most important lesson in his blog post for me though, was that you need to keep a journal for yourself. You are the only audience, ever, for the things you write in there. So it doesn't have to be really long and detailed article. Just record the information that's going to be valuable for future you.
Let's do this!
The best part of keeping a journal, is when you review your entries later on and they prove to be actually valuable. I want to collect an archive and be able to look back at what was going on.
I'm going to give it a shot – again – and start using Evernote to capture everything that's going on. I'm not just going to use Evernote for journal entries, but also while I do research, so Evernote becomes my hub of information.
Please ask me in a week from now, or a month from now, how this journaling experiment is going, to keep me motivated. 🙂

Saturday, November 15th, be sure to be in Woodbury. If you like to run, be there at 8:00 a.m. for the 5K Beard Run. At noon, it's the fall colors car show around the square followed by a chili supper and auction at the Community Center from 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. This event is being called "Day for Dan Fundraiser". Dan Kennedy was injured in his work, underwent emergency surgery at Vanderbilt and has been out of work since that time. He is to be out at least another 6 months. This is to help with his living expenses. Be sure to come out and support this family.
It was a beautiful night for a wiener roast and hay ride as well as a Halloween Party and that's what took place.

The annual wiener roast and hay ride sponsored by Prosperity Baptist Church and hosted by Randy and Cheryl Campbell was enjoyed by a host of people. There was pumpkin painting for the young set, corn hole tournaments for the older set and a lot of good food on hand. The night was ended with a hay ride.
Shiloh Marie Patrick made her first visit to Nanna and Ppa's Saturday night while big brother, Kullon, attended the above event with Tim, DeAnna, Alayna and Adrianna Reed.
Rylon and Amaieah Morrison spent the night with Ryan and Janna Womack and also enjoyed the event.
The 6th, 7th and 8th grades enjoyed a field trip to Cumberland Caverns Wednesday the 29th.
The Jr. Beta Club is sponsoring a fish and chicken fry tomorrow (Wednesday the 5th). Chef is Tim Reed. Be sure to come between the hours of 4:00-7:00 p.m. for a take out or sit down meal "killing two birds with one stone" so to speak - you can enjoy a good meal and not have to cook or clean up afterwards! An extra to that is helping the Beta members.
It's BASKETBALL TIME! First game for the Lady Knights and Knights is this Thursday night with the Eastside Tigers on their home court. Game time is 6:00 p.m. Take a look at our young athletes.
Happy birthday tomorrow (again Wednesday) to Rita Davis, Mark Duggin, Ricky Scott and Sheila Williams. It's the 12th year for Anna Faye Leach on the 6th. Twins J.C. and J.B. Hughes celebrate the same day with a set of quads, Erin, Kristen, Garrett and Marshall McReynolds and that's on the 7th. Lucas Mullinax has cake and ice cream on the 8th. The 9th celebrants are Lynn Ellis, Rex Gaither and Kendall Duggin. Tyler King and Gretchen Gaither have the 10th sown up and Graham Jackson and Quinton Dodd end the week's wishes on the 11th. Happy days to all of you.
Ricky Scott sure has a way of keeping up with his anniversary. He and Teresa were wed 31 years ago on his birthday, the 5th. Happy anniversary.

The pattern was Plush and the curves offset all the angles quite nicely.
My lovely sister Joyce came up for the weekend and we managed a little bit of patchworking together. It really helped me to begin to feel like doing something. I have had not been interested in the last few weeks as I have been too exhausted. Anyway, here is my sister stitching away. A Breast Cancer survivor, Joyce's hair has grown back super soft and lovely and curly just like our Mum's. Gorgeous isn't she?
I managed to make up two blocks from the Farmers Wife that our group have started. Yay, 5 done, only 106 to go!!!! Gulp.
Off to bed now as it's been a big day. See you all again soon.
Take care and blessings to all,
