Matty from MattyCollector.com and ToyGuru Jr. sent us the answers to our latest round of questions.that AFI readers have posted in our forums:
Q1) Why was the Holiday Hal Jordan figure included in Mattel's JLU showcase at SDCC? If he's such a no-no(from DC/WB's point of view), then why put him in there? Was this to determine fan interest? Was this to drum up fan support?
A1) To confess, we thought that the Mattel booth would act as a sort of "toy museum" and by displaying the figure in the booth it would give fans who can't own this figure at least a chance to see him in person. Obviously from fan reaction we misjudged this and we won't ever display him again. We are well aware of demand for this character and displaying Hal was meant to be fun for fans, not mud in your face. We are sorry if fans were upset by this.
Q2) Could you please give us the lowdown on the JLU Galatea head sculpt mix-up? Where is the near-perfect head sculpt that we were all told would be the version seen at retail.
A2) Ah, this one. Yes. Well the head that is shown on the back of package and in the print ads was the prototype. And much like Sinestro in the DCUC line, when the figure went from sculpt to mold it experienced some slight shrinkage of the tool. This is something we try to control as much as possible but in the end it does happen every so often. We wish two "mess ups" had not happened so close together, but with the sheer amount of figures we produce they are bound to happen.
The eye brows however were an honest mistake and we corrected it as quick as possible. We do not have plans to re-do her in the future because this would mean taking tooling away from another original head for a different new character. This will be the Galatea for the line.
Q3) Okay, so we're getting JLU versions of Ultraman and Superwoman. Is Mattel considering filling out the rest of the Crime Syndicate team? Owlman, Power Ring, and Johnny Quick?
A3) Definitely something we are looking into if the line continues with fan support.
Q4) Speaking of alternate universe characters, we have the JLU Justice Lords Flash, who looks very similar to both the Reverse Flash and Zoom. Might we see a true version of either of these characters?
A4) A good possibility but not in the cards quite yet. Could be down the road.
Q5) I've been in contact with Mattel UK who have told me that they are not selling any DC figures.
Are there any plans to start selling product through the international divisions? Comic shop prices are extortionate where I am?
A5) Much like any question about distribution, this is not something Mattel controls. It is up to local retailers anywhere in the world to place orders. Mattel will ship product to any retailer who orders it. If you are not seeing your favorite Mattel toy line at your local shops let them know to place orders!
Q6) Does the act of DC buying/licensing the characters of Milestone and Archie allow Mattel to make them, or would a new round of contract talks be required? In short, can you now make Static?
A6) Static we could do because he has appeared in the DC Universe (and on JLU) The other Archie characters are not part of the DC Universe and much like Vertigo characters are not part of our license.
Q7) lots of JLU fans are looking forward to the upcoming re-release of Volcana. What about Big Barda, Deadshot, and Obsidian? Many of us missed these 3 the first time around. Any chance you could re-release these figures in a 3-pack? You'd make some fans very happy! The figures are far too expensive on ebay and need re-releases. So, too, does the Lex Luthor in business suit with snap-on armor. We are going to get re-releases regardless, so it would be nice to have these four be amongst them.
A7) There is a very simple answer to this question. We are well aware of fan demand for these characters to be re-released, but we also want the line to last well into the future. We are purposely spacing out re-releases of hard to find characters to give the line more lifeblood down the road. Not to worry, we'll get to them sooner then later! Volcana is coming in Spring 2009 as well as at least one other you mentioned.
Q8) With the recent move towards show accurate repaints, could we get a properly colored 5 POA Martian Manhunter? I think the shade of plastic used for Justice Lord Green Lantern's Torso Would be a pretty accurate match.
A8) Not a bad suggestion. We will pass this on to our designers!
You can find our past Q&A's here. And you can discuss the answers at our Mattel board.

Submitted by Maria Bartrum | Location: Cojulya, Guatemala | NGO: Agua Para La Salud | Date: Feb. 18, 2013
At the Cojulya School, they have a rain catchment system, as you can see from the orange piping leading to the top of the tank. This particular system was dedicated to "Dr Mack" (see plaque), who was a Guatemalan native and pediatrician who spearheaded the Healthy Schools Project and trained the Peace Corp for the past 12 years to teach schools how to practice good hygiene. He died unexpectedly last spring.
Two photos show a student in a purple sweatshirt using the system to wash her hands. We interviewed Julisa Alaman (wearing striped shirt), who is 13 years old and in the 6th grade. She has many cousins in the school and extended family in the area. She explained to us that there was only one sink for 54 students before last year. She has noticed far less sickness in the past year because of their ability to practice hygiene with the new system. Before, because of the long line that formed at one sink, they chose not to bother to wash their hands and brush their teeth. Julisa plans to go on to study medicine and be a pediatrician and then return to this area to practice. At this school, 50% of the students have the potential to go on to university.
(As a side note, Lynn mentioned to me that there is a high incidence of suicide amongst the high school age group due to their inability to afford or have the tools to go on to college and wind up working on a farm.)
There are photos with Lynn showing the director of the school, Helbert Arana, how to maintain the tanks by clearing the clogs below the faucets. He has been teaching the 3rd-6th grades for four years at this school and lives in Carasuto (sp?). He said that before this water system was put in, there was no water in the community after 5:30 pm. With the new system, they are able to have water both day and night as long as the system holds up. Lynn gave Helbert tools to help with the maintenance of the tank.
I have also included pictures of students washing their bowls after their snack.

I bet you all thought Aunt Fara was going to hang with Mrs. Parker, didn't you? ;)
But what kind of person do we think this "Colin" guy is? Is he going to be "the one" that Fara finally settles down with (you know, assuming she ever opens up to Rain about it)? Or is going to go horribly sour for her VERY quickly?
Rain, all characters and all other aspects of the story are copyright material belonging to me.
@LittleLynn84: perhaps something in between? :)
It's soooo the evil incarnate isn't it
I'm still shipping Fara × Ellen. They're just too cute together.

Upon the invitation by the authorities of the Republic of Uganda, and in line with European Union's (EU) continued engagement on accompanying elections in the Uganda, the EU is deploying an Election Follow-up Mission (EFM), from 5 to 8 March 2018, after a preparatory phase and experts' presence on the ground since 26 February. The EFM will be led by Mr Eduard Kukan, Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from Slovakia and Chief Observer of the EU Election Observation Mission (EOM) to the 2016 general elections in Uganda. The EFM was tasked to assess the implementation of the 30 EU EOM recommendations, within the context of the current political developments and the next electoral cycle. The EFM will hold meetings with representatives of the authorities, political parties, media and civil society. The EFM will also meet representatives of the international community. The EFM will publish its report in the coming weeks, upon its conclusion.
'The EU stands by Uganda in strengthening its democratic principles", Eduard Kukan said. "We have accompanied elections in Uganda since 2006 and are honored to be back to follow up on the EU EOM recommendations. Now is the time for opposition and government to rebuild trust ahead of the coming elections", he emphasized.

Original Post- March 1, 2012
I'm way behind on posting. I made this meal last Friday night. I've been busy though. Oh and this time I'm not doing a new meal every night. I'm only doing a new one twice a week or so (if it wasn't obvious already). I am trying to cook every night though and have messed up one night. We got home that particular night at 7:30 PM so I don't feel too bad about eating out.
Last week, I decided to look through my mom's cookbooks. I've gotta say, I love technology. With a computer you just type in what you have or what you're thinking about making and a list of recipes pops up. I sat and looked at those stupid cookbooks for an hour and a half just trying to find something that sounded appetizing. I finally found three that I liked. The first one I wanted to try was called Bar-Be-Bake. After reassuring my child (and husband for that matter) I wasn't going to bake one of her poor unsuspecting Barbies, we got started.
When you make this meal, you have to flatten and press biscuit dough in muffin tins. Two things:
- Four year olds are FANTASTIC at this. Andrea loves to squish the bread before we get out of the supermarket (purposely) so squishing this was like a game for her.
- Use the jumbo muffin tins. The one that only has six "holes". Seriously. It looked like a bunch of biscuit explosions in my oven.
After Andrea shoved all the biscuits into the muffin forms, I let her measure, pour and stir all the ingredients. This was quite possibly the easiest dinner I've ever made. She did every bit of it except put it into the oven.
When we pulled it out of the oven, it wasn't pretty. Not even remotely. Russ said it looked like someone threw up on a biscuit if you want me to be completely honest. All of us just kind of looked at these biscuit, meat mountains on our plates and there was a silent dread at having to taste these. Andrea took the first bite. She said the meat was gross, dumped and scraped it off, and ate the biscuits. Figures…. I tried mine and it was surprisingly fantastic. Russ ended up really liking his also. Jake ate the biscuit part more than the meat too. What in the world is it with my children and bread products? It's like a moth to a flame.
Anyhow, they are extremely filling and we had leftovers. I couldn't bring myself to heat them up again so they went to waste. They're just so ugly. I'm thinking that the next time we make these, it will be in the big muffin tins so that they will look a little more appetizing…hopefully.
Flatten and press canned biscuit dough in muffin tins to outline cups. Brown hamburger lightly. Add 2 T chopped onions, 2 T brown sugar, and 1/2 C barbecue sauce. Salt to taste. Fill cups; sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
Sorry, no nutritional information for this one. It was from a little church fundraiser cookbook. 🙂

For a Durable and Strong Opposition
Wednesday 19 April 2017
With the BJP gaining strength by hook or by crook almost all over India and forming more and more State governments, the question of mobilising a strong and durable democratic Opposition is becoming more and more important. Some Opposition leaders are thinking in terms of a very broad mobilisation of various Opposition parties and groups. This is sometimes referred to as a mahagathbandhan.
The mobilisation of such a mahagathbandhan had proved effective in defeating the BJP in the last Assembly election in Bihar. While this was certainly an important victory for the Opposition, its importance should not be exaggerated. In fact cracks have already begun to appear in this broad alliance. Several observers have raised questions about how long the alliance of Nitish Kumar and Laloo Yadav in particular can continue.
The Bihar alliance became possible as the Congress agreed to a role of relative insignificance. If a grand alliance of the Samajwadi Party, the Bahujan Samaj Party and the Congress is similarly attempted in Uttar Pradesh, then given the tendency of the first two political parties to dominate, the Congress will have to again agree to a very insignificant role in terms of electoral seats. But if the Indian National Congress, which is the most important party at the national level, goes on sacrificing its real and potential role and strength in the most important electoral States like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, this in itself will weaken the Opposition at the national level as then only the BJP will remain as a genuine national party with a base in all parts of the country.
Therefore the way forward is to first agree on a common programme based on the principles of equality at all levels and secularism. These are the two most noble principles firmly enshrined in our Constitution but the BJP and its wider Sangh Parivar have basic weak-nesses from the perspective of these two main principles.
Hence to build a strong Opposition to the BJP, an alternative programme based firmly on equality at all levels and genuine secularism needs to be prepared carefully for consideration by various Opposition parties. If some of them express strong support for this, then this can become the basis of Opposition unity. Such a programme can also become the basis for the formation of a new political party.
Opposition unity based on an agreement on clear principles will go far and will also strengthen India's democracy in various ways.

The U.S. economy has come a long way since the low point of the financial crisis of 2009-2008. The stock market is now within a stone's throw of all-time highs and unemployment is less than 5 percent. The idea that the entire financial system was on the brink of collapse less than a decade ago sometimes feels like simply a bad dream.
The idea of spending billions of dollars on corporate bailouts is enough to get any American's blood boiling. The good news is the bailouts actually weren't bad investments in the long term.
Many people are resentful of the idea that the government would step in and bailout billion-dollar corporations. That same government would never step in and directly fund struggling families in times of crisis. To make matters worse, American tax dollars paid for those bailouts instead of better roads and public schools.
In total, 11 companies received at least $10 billion in bailouts from the government during the financial crisis. However, the government wasn't simply lending money to these companies. It was investing in them by taking ownership stakes. In most cases, the government was essentially buying shares of stock much like ordinary investors do in their trading accounts.
For the most part, the government was later able to sell those shares of stock for a large profit in the years that followed. In fact, the government took a loss on only two of its 25 largest bailouts.
Mortgage aggregators Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were the two largest financial crisis bailouts. Together, Fannie and Freddie received nearly $190 billion in bailout funds. However, the government has now netted more than $68 billion in profit from the investment. Both companies trade on over-the-counter markets.
Taxpayers also made a killing on the vast majority of bank bailouts as well. The government turned a profit of more than $13.4 billion on its Citigroup (ticker: C) bailout. It also added $5 billion in profit from the American International Group (AIG) bailout, $4.5 billion from the Bank of America Corp. (BAC) bailout and $3 billion from the GMAC bailout.
Of course, not all the bailouts worked out quite as well. Taxpayers lost $11.3 billion on the $50.7 billion General Motors Co. (GM) bailout. Other investments, such as the $3.4 billion Ocwen Financial Corp. (OCN) bailout, the $1 billion Select Portfolio Servicing bailout and the $973 million Nationstar Mortgage Holdings (NSM) bailout ended up total taxpayer losses.
Still, one thing seems clear: taxpayers came out ahead. In total, $623 billion in taxpayer money was dispersed via bailouts and roughly $698 billion has come back via dividend revenue, interest, fees and asset sales. It doesn't take a math genius to see the bailouts ultimately earned taxpayers more than $75 billion in profit, and that number is still growing.
Of course, the point of the bailouts was never for the Treasury to turn a profit. At the time, those in favor of the bailouts saw them as necessary to prevent a total financial meltdown.
"I think history will look upon the bailouts as broadly necessary, in part because it will also regard the crisis as remarkably complex and dangerous," Bankrate senior economic analyst and Washington bureau chief Mark Hamrick says. "Reasonable observers would agree the specifics of the programs could have been shaped differently. But that is to quibble over the details in true Monday morning quarterback fashion."
At the time, plenty of Americans disagreed with the bailouts on principle. But in hindsight, it's hard to argue with their effectiveness.
"In retrospect, the bailouts were obviously a success because we never went back into a recession," says Eric Park, financial advisor at LPL Financial. "We've only had a couple of down quarters since then. We're in one of the longest periods of economic expansion without a recession that the country has ever had. But the question remains, what would have happened had the government not opted for bailouts? I don't know the answer."
Those uneasy with the promise of corporate deregulation during the Trump administration may be concerned about the possibility of more government bailouts down the road. Bank balance sheets are healthier than ever these days thanks to the regulations Trump may decide to eliminate. Banks also must now submit roadmaps for their own unwinding should they fail, potentially eliminating one source of panic that occurred back in 2008.
"The Dodd-Frank Act contains provisions for the orderly liquidation of a troubled financial firm (similar to the authority the FDIC already has for troubled banks) and prohibits the use of taxpayer funds for any firm in receivership under this process," University of Alabama in Huntsville associate professor of economics Wafa Orman says. "If the legislation works as planned, then hopefully financial firms should not need bailouts in the future."
Once financial markets and 401(k) balances stabilized following the 2008-2009 crisis, headlines about the bailouts died down. Now, roughly eight years after corporate irresponsibility nearly broke the American financial system, President-elect Donald Trump has made corporate deregulation a centerpiece of his legislative plan.
Gamblers know that just because a bet works once doesn't necessarily mean it's worth repeating. The financial crisis bailouts did…

Behind the Wall
When we use the phrase "behind the wall," I often wonder which wall we are talking about. Is it the wall surrounding the most holy city in the world? Or is it the wall surrounding the human body which carries its deep-rooted stories of love and hate, joy and suffering, humiliation and injustice inflicted upon it by fellow citizens?
The institute I work at, Spafford Children's Center, is located right behind the massive wall that surrounds the Old City of Jerusalem. The people that come to the center are unique. They all carry heavy loads of interesting—and sad— stories that I could not even begin to talk about here. I will focus instead on the story of one of the group members whom I will call "Mother A."
The room where intermodal expressive arts therapy takes place is located right behind the wall. We can see the wall and hear the commotion of the outside world. Every one of us has a special story to tell. We use our body, our senses and the intermodality of the arts to communicate our stories. We, as a group, are witness to the suffering that each individual inside the designated space is experiencing.
in this space
We sit in a circle; new faces and new experiences. There is a lit candle on top of an embroidered tablecloth at the center of the room. There is a great deal of tension and apprehension of the unexpected. I begin by introducing myself and by making oral contracts. My main concentration is on the confidentiality issue. I stress the fact that whatever is said inside this space will stay in this space. We are not to share or discuss anything outside this room so that each and every one of us will feel free to express herself. In the weeks that follow, different warm-up exercises are administered, including movement and touch which help the rigidity in the body to untangle and which facilitate the opening up of emotions. In this process, many tears flowed, and the group started to attend to each other�s needs; an atmosphere of trust came to fill the empty space.
Mother A had used harsh words on her 12-year-old son for neglecting his schoolwork. His punishment was that for one whole week he would attend to his studies only and would not be allowed outdoors. He went to school the next day still feeling angry with his mother for the punishment he received. That day he was shot and killed for throwing stones at the soldiers. Not only was his mother devastated by the terrible loss of her beloved son, she was also carrying a heavy load of guilt for having punished her son one day before his murder. She had unfinished business with her son that weighed her down. When she moved, it felt like her feet were chained with heavy metal cuffs. Her posture was bent towards the ground, and she hardly made any eye contact with the other members of the group. She was very quiet; tears were constantly flowing from her eyes. It took a long time for her to interact with the group. There was a lot of resistance. I did not push her to share or do anything she was not ready to do. I was very happy that she was the first to arrive to the weekly sessions. I knew that when she was ready she would interact with others.
One day, after a month had passed, she got up on her feet, took a brush and some paint and started painting. She drew a circle on a piece of paper hanging on the wall. She used many colours, but at the end she covered the whole circle with black. She did not want to share what the emerging image, the �third,� was telling her. I felt that it was a great step forward that she was holding a brush and drawing. Her body was moving slightly with the brush and paint. After a few more times of drawing the same picture, she started drawing another one, using two colours, black and red. This picture was of a uterus with a fetus inside it, surrounded by the colour red. Then she drew a woman surrounded by a wall, tears running down from her eyes, with a stretcher made out of the Palestinian flag. She then started playing with clay. She made a tomb and a woman kneeling beside it, with both her hands pulling at her hair and tears flowing down her cheeks. I felt that with every transfer to another artistic modality, she was getting ready to face her pain and suffering. She turned to music, choosing a drum and monotonously drumming the mourning beat. She then took her chair and turned it to face the wall. She began to sing songs of lamentation in a very low voice, slowly moving to a higher pitch.
Each member of the group was dealing with her own suffering and with the �third� that was emerging…

from: RobbWolf.com
Any Paleo person worth their salt knows who Robb Wolf is. For those of you who don't, he's the owner of NorCal Strength and Conditioning and the average CrossFitter's authority on the Paleo Diet. He currently runs a blog and posts podcasts that offer great information. He also used to lead CrossFit's nutrition certifications, but has since taken to the road for his own seminars. I've been following Robb's work for about two years now, so when the opportunity came up to go to one of his seminars at CrossFit Hoboken, I jumped at the chance (along with four other members of CrossFit King of Prussia: Aimee, Evan, Laura, and Dave) Robb presented the 60 or so participants with a wealth of knowledge, both scientific and real case studies and we probably could have spent a week there just asking questions. While I'm not going to steal Robb's presentation, I do want to point out two major topics that are uber important, plus a peek at what future posts will be covering.
Insulin management is huge. By controlling your insulin levels, you can basically maintain and lead a healthy lifestyle well into your 80s and 90s. Robb calls it the "master hormone." It affects major systems and parts of your body that you probably don't even realize. The first thing you probably think when you hear "insulin" is "diet" and this is certainly true. Controlling blood sugar levels by avoiding grains and sugar will help maintain your insulin levels, but there is a lot more involved. Sleep, activity level, and leptin issues can affect insulin sensitivity. At one very extreme of insulin resistance is Type II Diabetes. Some people say things like "Diabetes runs in my family" and while there is a genetic factor involved, there are also a lot of environmental factors as well. Robb gives the analogy of a sunburn. A fair skinned person will burn more easily in the sun than a dark skinned person. But what if the fair skinned person stayed indoors more? Or put on sunscreen? Some people may "tend" towards Diabetes, but there is a big difference between someone eating a ton of grains, drinking soda, and being a couch potato and someone who eats clean and stays fit. By eating clean and managing these other factors such as sleep, we can maintain proper insulin levels and avoid "fate."
Cortisol is a stress hormone that helps regulate energy levels. A little bit helps regulate blood sugar and acts as an anti-inflammatory, but too much is detrimental to your health. Normal cortisol levels are high in the morning (to get you awake and ready for the day) and low in the evening (to help you wind down and get ready for sleep.) Those who overtrain, have sleep disturbances, are emotionally stressed, or have diet problems will compromise their cortisol levels. I'm willing to bet more than a few of you have cortisol issues for one or many of these reasons. The possibility of reaching adrenal fatigue is high and dangerous. Robb gave a personal account of someone close to him reaching this breaking point and needing to go to the hospital for it. If you find yourself exhausted, wired as you're about to go to sleep, caffeinating heavily, or just "off," see a doctor ASAP. If you want to manage your cortisol levels, be sure to get enough sleep ("as much as you can without ruining your love life or your job" - Robb), do some yoga/meditation, train smart, and watch your nutrition.

Learn more about Niqāb
Several Western countries including France, Spain and Canada have proposed laws which would ban Muslim women from wearing a Niqab in public spaces. A niqab is a cloth that covers the face and is worn by some Muslim women in public areas. In 2015 the Canadian Supreme Court overturned a Ottawa's request to ban niqab's when women were taking citizenship oaths. Proponents argue that the ban infringes on individual rights and prevents people from expressing their religious beliefs. Opponents argue that face-coverings prevent the clear identification of a person, which is both a security risk, and a social hindrance within a society which relies on facial recognition and expression in communication. See recent Niqāb news

We should not need to deal with a piece of fabric, but rather with an underlying root principle which should present provable surety that no undermining treason is intended or crime will result from this veiling.... 3 years ago from a Conservative in Strathmore
These garments are not a religious requirement. If they choose to wear them, and need to be identified, they should accept that there will not always be a female to serve them. They may have to wait, or come back another time. 3 years ago from a New Democratic in Mississauga

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'raised bed gardens' tag.
I am so glad it has stopped raining, as now I can get to work in my raised bed garden. We've certainly got a stretch of great weather right now, breezy, sunny and bright. Now's the time to pull weeds, cut back ornamental grasses and turn the soil and plant cold-tolerant seeds and plants. I see lots of earthworms, so that's a great sign!
I use the square foot gardening approach in our 8′ x 4′ raised bed, since I enjoy growing several different things in our small area. It works out really well, since there are certain things we always like to grow (carrots, green beans, eggplant, beets, radishes, lettuce, spinach, broccoli and herbs). Tomatoes are definitely a staple, but I plan to grow them in large containers this year, since they shade the other items when they grow in the raised bed.
I am going to plant some seeds (lettuce, spinach and broccoli are cold tolerant candidates). Unfortunately, I discovered that I overbought some seeds this year – forgetting I had lots left over from last summer. Every year, when the seed packets and plant bulbs are on display I go a little crazy – especially when they're on sale.
It's really fun to try a few new things every year, just to learn whether it has certain tolerances and is easy to grow inthis climate. It allows me to learn from the experience, and add new favorites to the lineup. This year, I am thinking about bulb fennel – simply because it can be kind of expensive around here and it can be used in hot and cold dishes. I also purchased some Delicata squash seeds to try out, but those will get planted outside of the raised bed, since squash will take over the entire bed if given the opportunity. I've got Edamame (soybean) seeds I may try, as well. It should yield interesting results.
I am relatively new at vegetable gardening, and am just getting used to the timing of everything, so I haven't yet ventured into starting seeds indoors. I never seem to think of doing so until it is too late in the season. I may try starting some seeds in containers that I can cover with plastic sheeting to create a greenhouse effect. I will likely try this for Jalapeno and Poblano peppers, Black Beauty eggplant, and Roma tomatoes. It would certainly save lots of cash, since buying the plants can really add up. We had an overload of Cayenne one year and Jalapenos last year, so I threaded the Cayenne and hung them to dry out. I let the Jalapenos ripen until they turned red, put them in the smoker, let them dry out, as well. I then blasted both batches of dried out peppers in the processor, one year we had a nice sized jar of home grown Cayenne, and this year we have a jar of ground chipotle on hand.
Let me know about any cool new things you may have tried to grow and how they turned out.
Well, I'm off to dig in the dirt, happy gardening!
Have you ever felt overwhelmed with the responsibility of changing our environment? Have you ever thought, "it ain't easy being green", or, "I could never make a difference with what little I can do"?
Well, not to fear, you don't need to go out and plunk down some cash for a hybrid, or give up everything in life that makes you comfortable and happy. You can start going green with little changes that truly add up, helping you subtract from your carbon footprint.
Here are 10 tips that can get you going and some links to help you learn more:
- Don't run the water while brushing your teeth, just when you need to
- Recycle, even if it isn't a requirement in your hometown
- Go out and get some of these inexpensive, durable and highly rated canvas grocery bags and use them for your grocery shopping
- Check out WeCanLiveGreen.com (a really cool site) and find companies that are green and use their products, if it makes sense to you
- If going completely organic doesn't agree with your paycheck, take a second to total up what you spend on fast food each month, and see if reducing fast food meals will give you some extra cash to buy the good stuff – it's better for you and the environment!
- Plan on growing your own – veggies, that is. Look into raised bed gardening, if you've got a yard at your disposal. I did, and it's alot of fun and rewarding, too. If you are an apartment dweller, look into window box gardening. Also, some communities also have a group gardening initiative, if you volunteer some time, in exchange, you get a small plot of land in which to grow your veggies, pretty cool.
- Don't idle your car: better to shut it off entirely if you are going to be waiting a while
- Donate to and purchase from thrift shops, you'll be giving to a good cause, saving money and producing less waste for our landfills
- Go to Zerofootprint.net to calculate your carbon footprint. Nothing like a little reality check to get you thinking about a greener life
- Consider water filtering options for your home water consumption, so you can use your own water instead of buying and tossing those pesky bottles
It's the little changes that turn into big ones. Try a few of these, you'll feel good about yourself and you might just have fun in the process!

How to Make a Stencil
Stencils are the fastest way to create a repeated pattern. They can be used on most surfaces including walls, furniture, gift wrap and fabric. Create a design as simple or as intricate as you like and turn it into a stencil that you can use over and over again.
What You Need:
- Construction paper
- Card stock paper
- Tempera or acrylic paint
- Paint brush or sponge
- Craft knife
- Pencil
What You Do:
- Have your child draw out a design onto a piece of card stock paper.
- Encourage him to carefully cut out his design using a craft knife. You might need to monitor your child to make sure he is using the knife correctly.
- Have him place his stencil how he wants it on a sheet of construction paper.
- Gently sponge paint, or brush paint over the cut-out sections of the stencil. Make sure he covers all areas while keeping the stencil as still as possible.
- Slowly lift the stencil off of the construction paper. Have him repeat this process until he's happy with his final work of art.
Helpful Hint: Creating a design from nature is a great way to begin. This allows your child to physically choose something in his surroundings and draw directly from observation.
Helpful Tip: Allow the stencil to dry completely, or dab off wet paint before changing colors. Alternatively, if you want a "mixed-colour" look, mix wet paint into wet paint as you stencil.

I came across this project on a really cool art education blog and knew my fourth graders would love it. After a mini-lesson on the basic shapes that make up a lego body, students dove right in. The next class was all about creating value through shadows and/or color. I gave them a blank lego figure (like the one below)
to practice techniques in creating value – this REALLY made their final pieces successful. Students could choose from oil pastels, colored pencils or markers to add color and value to their self-portraits.

Ordinary people doing extra ordinary thingsNews
Hi, I'm Heather Bailey, I work on some amazing projects at Translate.org.za — from publishing translated books, software, localisation training, language strategy for governments and more. But, compared to the people I work with I really feel quite ordinary. I get to interact and know some of the most incredible people who are doing amazing things for languages across the world.
Right at the beginning of the work of Translate and of localising the web, it was others who were more impressive in their achievements. I am an English speaker who just sailed onto English speaking technology and an English speaking web. It just seemed obvious to me to help out a couple of friends that were Xhosa speakers who couldn't access this world of technology. So we married out skills and this organic collaboration led to Firefox, in 11 South African languages.
Since then we have realised that this work is far from finished. For all the reasons we love the internet, others should also have a chance to access this experience. But there are so many obstacles that need to be overcome.
Just like me you might think that you are just a ordinary person with ordinary skills. Those skills could just make a huge difference to someone's life and experience of the internet. You might just have the key to unlocking a huge puzzle and complete one last task for a entire language. We will have a dedicated space at Mozfest that you can visit and see how you could fit into this picture.

Theo Ferguson and Kamla Mungal: Leading From Above the Line
Theo Ferguson and Kamla Mungal: Leading From Above the Line
Leading From Above The Line is principle-centred approach to personal development, designed to specifically address leadership challenges in rapidly transforming economies.
There is a line between what is morally acceptable and what is morally unacceptable. Leading From Above The Line helps leaders live and lead above this line and give them the moral courage to make the right choices.
First however, leaders must take time to discover themselves, and acknowledge their strengths, weaknesses and vulnerabilities. This will open the door to self-improvement, by tapping into the Five Sources of Our Inner Power:
- principle consciousness
- purpose
- emotional mastery
- understanding change
- knowledge empowerment.
With inner strength leaders can win the trust, respect and admiration of others.
The Five Sources of Our Inner Power
You can see them as the five fingers of your hand. Take a look at your hand. That's you. Open and close those five fingers. That's your inner power.
When healthy, these five fingers can give you tremendous power to hold a cricket bat and hit a ball coming at you at over 90 miles per hour. Or, they can give you dexterity and control so that you can easily manipulate a pen and write effortlessly. However, when any one of your five fingers is swollen or painful your power is dissipated.
In the same way that five functioning fingers help you to have total control of your pen, the Five Sources of Your Inner Power help you to have greater control over your life and to display a more positive leadership aura.
Principle consciousness
Principle Consciousness is like your thumb. It gives your life a spiritual and moral anchor in the same way that your thumb relates to your other four fingers. It is about being aware of the principles that define your human nature. You are a moral being with an intuitive understanding of fairness.
Principle consciousness means being conscious of:
- the moral line
- your desire to lead from above the line – to be moral
- your conscience – your intuitive knowledge of right and wrong
- your humanity being anchored in fundamental principles – our common human values
- your spiritual connectivity
- your humanity and the humanity of others
- your human goodness and the human goodness of others
- your human inter-dependence
- and your human dignity and the human dignity of others.
Purpose is like your index finger pointing you in the direction of your destination in life. Every human being comes into the world to do something unique and special. That is your purpose – the second of the Five Sources of Your Inner Power.
You all have a gift that allows you to excel, but the interesting thing is that you have to discover that gift yourself. No matter how well-meaning your parents and teachers may be, they cannot determine what is best for you. However, they can encourage you to embark on the journey of finding your purpose in life.
Having purpose means:
- being conscious of your human potential and your desire for excellence
- living life with meaning, having a reason to want to live
- making a contribution to humanity, living a life of value
- living in the interest of others
- and continuously striving to fulfill your human potential.
Emotional mastery
Emotional mastery is like your long middle finger reminding you that this is a lifetime activity.
You are all emotional beings. You have feelings – some which foster your peace of mind and others, which destroy it.
Develop emotional mastery so that you can have greater self-control. Your negative emotions – such as anger, malice, greed, lust, gluttony, fear and stress – are under the control of your primitive brain. Control lies in your ability to rewire your cerebral cortex, or higher brain, so that you have earlier and greater awareness of your negative emotions, thus giving you the opportunity to effect greater self-control.
Emotional mastery means:
- having control over the expression of your emotions
- being able to maintain mental clarity in the face of challenging temptations and anxiety-provoking circumstances
- being fearless, contented, humble – superior to no one, inferior to no one – loving, caring, forgiving, compassionate and optimistic
- finding happiness in the expression of your positive emotions
- and being able to read and respond appropriately to other people's emotions – showing empathy.
Understanding change
Understanding change is like your ring finger reminding you that change is continuous. It involves understanding the nature of the continuously changing world that you are all a part of, so that you do not live in fear of your ever-changing environment.
Understanding change means:
- having a sense of balance in relation to the past, present and future
- recognising the inevitability of change
- understanding the interplay of humanity, and the physical and biological environments
- being able to sense the spiritual energy of the universe
- having a clear perspective of yourself in relation to the environment
- living without unnecessary fears
- living in harmony with the world around you
- understanding the human responses to change
- understanding your power to lead change – to be a change agent.
Knowledge empowerment
Knowledge empowerment is like your little finger – or pinky – flexible and always searching. This is what we hope you are getting by being a student at the various institutions you attend, and the knowledge you acquire through your own private pursuit of knowledge.
Knowledge empowerment means:
- having knowledge in support of the fulfillment of your life's purpose
- being open to the acquisition of new knowledge – to have a beginner's mind
- and truthfully and passionately sharing your knowledge with others.

Sometimes just listing the problems is a good way to stay in focus. Mostly when they are many and you've thought about the whole scenario for too long.
Considering historical data and the current state of the art about moonkins in both Live and MoP Beta, how do things look? What are the major issues?
1) Single target and AoE rotations are boring;
2) We have no viable means of doing dps while moving;
3) Eclipse contributes with too much of our damage;
4) Solar and Lunar eclipses are the same.
Just out of comparison, I'll list the 4 points I come up with in "The Eclipsed Moonkin" Part 1:
– The rotation is boring;
– We have few tools to play with;
– We don't have dps for movement heavy situations. Lunar Shower is not attractive;
– We have close to no burst dps, nor any executes.
It is nice to notice that now at least there are more tools to play with. Those come from both spec spells like CA and AC, but also from talents (Incarnation, FoN, WC, etc).
Sadly the others pretty much remain the same, despite of the different wording. Lets take a more detailed look on things:
1) Single target and AoE rotations are boring.
Cast AC til Eclipse before the pull. DoT, Starfall then keep Nuking. Starsurge procs on cooldown.
CA is available, you are at zero eclipse energy? Cast it. After that keep Nuking until next Eclipse.
Repeat. This is everything we have to deal with.
AC pre-fight, DoTs, Starfall and Nukes are mechanical. After a while, your fingers will do it for you without your brain even noticing. Ss procs are warned by big built-in Power Auras animation. Funny thing is, watch Ss to get out of cooldown by NOT procc'ing Shooting Stars is what requires more attention.
There is some tiny decisions about using CA on zero Energy, however. Will you need the "burst" in a few minutes? Then save it. Won't need the "burst"? Do it.
Not what I consider entertaining. To be very honest, I've literally slept during fights on Beta.
2) We have no viable means of doing dps while moving.
Well, we do. Lunar Shower. This is a treacherous, vicious mechanic to use. It will lead you to mistakenly overwrite an Eclipsed DoT with a weaker, uneclipsed one. Also, just clipping your DoTs is already a dps loss per se.
3) Eclipse contributes with too much of our damage.
With that in mind, it is easy to notice that:
In PvE, being out of eclipse for a particular boss phase or action is horrible. This is why they had to give us Celestial Alignment: add water, heat for 3 mins and you get instant fake double-eclipse.
In PvP, Celestial Alignment puts a nice patch over the problem. The thing is, once this shiny new toy is locked under the 3 minute cooldown, you have to rely again on your slow casts to fill that blue/orange energy bar under your portrait. Yeah, in PvP. Dream about it.
In PvE we might have more time to maneuver the Eclipse bar back to one of the ends between burn phases. But it obviously isn't the case for PvP. Also, if you fail to maneuver this transatlantic in PvE, and CA is on cooldown, your dps goes to the bottom like a rock.
It is also important to notice that we don't have something separated to serve as our burst tool. Our burst is reaching eclipse, which is something we regularly do, many times, during a fight. In Cata, during burns, an Arcane Mage stops the regular, conservative rotation and burn all the mana. So he can be balanced about just behaving like that for burn situations.
We have to be balanced around having this burst potential happening all the time, from time to time, in an "unstoppable" rhythm (unless we cast the "wrong" spell to stop it). I'm not good at theorycrafting or general class balance, but I can see this being a balance issue.
4) Solar and Lunar eclipses are the same.
Ok, this might sound subjective, superfluous, etc. But if Eclipses are the same, we could scratch out one half of it and just go from zero Eclipse energy to Lunar and back. Why do we need the Sun? To cast spells that do the same thing, but have a different color? The best thing I can say is:
"Eclipses should be different. I feel it in my guts. Not by accident, like what happens in Solar Cleave. By design."
I am happy to see that many, many druids also feel the same way right now in MoP Beta forums. As I think of it, maybe we just got too used to having Solar so much better than Lunar that this perceived need of Eclipse differentiation just got stuck within our mindset.
I don't care. Make them different. 🙂 Amazing things come into being by accident. This might be one good example. But do it right. Make Solar be meaningful for something, and Lunar being badass for something else. Or maybe make them both awesome for the same thing, but in completely different ways.
With the philosophy that is being used in the Talents design, I honestly can't understand how can Blizz pass an opportunity to present us a meaningful choice like that.
Well, this post is already long enough.
Did I forgot anything?
What is your opinion about moonkin current state?
If it was up to you, what would you do?

The most important uses of modal verbs are the communication of obligation, permission and ability. They are used in a very similar way in Polish and English, where in both languages we use a second verb in the infinitive to form a sentence. Note that these modal verbs have no perfective aspect.
Let's look at each use in turn:
Starting now with the most complicated – powinien, which means should or ought. Powinien is known as a defective verb as it does not conjugate and is not used in quite the same way as most verbs. The English verb ought is also defective and neither ought nor powinien have an infinitive form, i.e. there is no 'to ought'.
This is how powinien is conjugated in the present and past tense:
Following this with the infinitive, we can make sentences such as:
Czy kot powinien pić mleko? (Should a cat drink milk?)
Powinieneś był to kupić (You should have bought that)
For a stronger sense of obligation, Musieć fills in for the English verbs must, have to and need to. Note the switch from a to e in the stem of the male person plural forms in the past tense:
Again, follow this with the infinitive:
Muszę tańczyć (I must dance)
Musieliśmy szukać pomocy (We had to search for help)
But be careful when negating musieć – nie muszę means don't have to (there is no obligation) and it does not mean mustn't:
Nie muszę się uczyć polskiego (I don't have to learn Polish)
The verb móc is used to indicate permission – whether you can or mustn't do something.
Nie możecie tu być (You can't/mustn't be here)
Czy mogę palić? (Can I smoke?)
Note the subtle difference between móc and umieć – whilst in English we use the verb can for both permission (I can smoke here) and ability requiring knowledge (I can play the guitar), in Polish there is a distinction. For the latter, use umieć:
Czy dinozaury umiały pływać? (Could dinosaurs swim?)
nie umiem dobrze gotować (I can't cook well)

We stopped at Bobrof for a little while for some kayaking and dinghy riding. Bobrof is only 2-3 miles long. There is a big sea cave on the north end I kayaked into. It was pretty weird.
From Bobrof we headed along the north coast of Kanaga Island, then to the Bay of Islands on the west side of Adak. Crossing from Bobrof to Kanaga, we saw a pod of killer whales, or orcas. That was really cool.
Kanaga has a big volcano you can see from Adak on clear days, but our day was pretty cloudy.
We anchored for the night off North Island in the Bay of Islands around 11:00 p.m. Josh and Melinda took the dinghy out, and I went kayaking at midnight and climbed to the top of the island, an amazing feat with an elevation of 322 feet.

Turning Over an Old Leaf
But more than that, this year also marks the 100th anniversary of Mexico's second revolution, which culminated in 1917 with the new Mexican Constitution, so yeah, everyone here is pretty excited.
Entirely coincidentally, this period is marking a personal revolution for me as well. I'm locked in a war with myself trying to get rid of the person I've become and return to the person I used to be.
Like all bad habits, this version of me probably started a long time ago and continued to change me in small ways until I wake up and realize I don't even know myself anymore. Perhaps it started four years ago when I was denied a promotion I thought I had earned. Or maybe it was six years ago when my younger brother died. Maybe it goes back even further.
At one of those starting points, I became more of a pessimist whereas I had always been more of a happy-go-lucky optimist growing up. It was easy back then. I was given every opportunity to succeed, and for most of my life, I did. I took chances always expecting that if I worked hard enough, everything would turn out right in the end. And they usually did. And if they didn't, oh well, I'd either try again until I got it right or saw the error and moved on. Sure, there were frustrations, but I brushed them off easier.
Some where along the way, when something didn't turn out right, I'd blame part of the problem, or all of it, on someone else. How could it be my fault? I worked hard, am relatively intelligent and have a strong track record of success. Obviously, someone else is holding me back, maybe even intentionally.
All of this placing blame on others turned me into the angry, spiteful person I became. Which only made it easier to hold grudges, place more blame and so on and so forth. It consumed me, and it got to the point that even started blaming (in private) my wife for some of my hardships here. Though I never said it to her, my attitudes certainly were being reflected in my behaviors.
This came to a head, and after some long soul searching, I came to all of those realizations above. It took Mexico 100 years before the people said enough is enough and forced changes. I don't have that long. I've already started my revolution. I called my freelance editor and apologized for being a jerk for the past four years, as one example. Though as I replayed that conversation in my head after hanging up, I think she must think I'm going through the 12-step program. Whatever, it doesn't matter anymore, and maybe it will buy me some extra sympathy.
I'm trying to right my wrongs and along the way return to my old brighter outlook on life. Viva la revolucion, indeed!

Good for you!ReplyDelete
I am facing a lot of those same issues myself. I think being a trailing spouse and having so many things out of our control makes it all too easy to see the glass and half empty. I know lots of EFMs that do manage to look at the bright side so it can be done, good luck with the personal revolution!ReplyDelete
This news kind of ruins my day. Hope things are okay.ReplyDelete
I am sorry for the radio silence.ReplyDelete
The thing about blogs is you never know how you helped the silent majority of readers. Many. You did a good thing with your writing.
I hope you rethink your decision and return to blogging.
All the best.
I've lurked, rarely posted, and have appreciated the glimpses into the early processes of State Dep't life. Kept laughing at the name of your blog. . . and if you need to go and spend time in renewal, well, maybe that will be an Entirely Fabulous Move.ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing this piece with us--which was honest, open and part of the human experience. More, as a male, I applaud you for honestly sharing this insight as I never read something so honest from a male's perspective. Your wife and we were very honor to share your time in the blogsphere. Please reconsider your decision.ReplyDelete

I was blessed enough to receive an advance reader copy (ARC) of SUSPENDERED SENTENCE for review. I am so thrilled that I was!
Ms. Bradford has an amazing talent, and is a most gifted storyteller. Her words never fail to draw me in and capture me.
With each book I read in the Amish Mystery series, I think there is no way the next one will be as good. I'm very happy to be wrong. Laura Bradford continues to improve upon an already fantastic series. SUSPENDERED SENTENCE was in a word…Wonderful!
I always feel like I have come home when reading this series. The characters are like family and friends. To say I am emotionally attached to them and what happens to them, well, that would be very true.
The mystery in SUSPENDERED SENTENCE seemed pretty cut and dry through most of the book. But when there is another mystery attached to the first, things really became more of a guessing game for me. Once the truth came out about everything, it blew me away just how intricate a story Ms. Bradford had penned.
If you like the first books in this series, you are in for a major treat with this one. If you haven't read this series, I really encourage you to do so.

The film Resident Evil is based on the saga of games with the same name, of the Capcom company. The film was directed by Paul William Scott Anderson. By the way, this character isn't drawn from video games and so, the film is to different from the video games and this attracts more viewers. The saga only won one award, the Canadian Screen Award for the best visual effects.
The film are set around the world, for example in Toronto (Canada), Tokyo (Japan), Moscow (Russia) and New York (USA). They have been filmed from the 2002 since 2017.
The film is about the Virus T (which turns people into zombies), that has been unleashed at a research facility called the Beehive. The Umbrella Corporation doesn't know it, so it sends a team to know why the Red Queen, the computer that controls the research facility, killed everyone inside. When the guards of the Beehive arrive, they find Alice alone inside a mansion, she has amnesia. Together they go into Beehive to find out what has happened. Alice is captured by Umbrella, and they inject to her the Virus T that, surprisingly, manages to adapt to its DNA giving him powers and superior strength.
Personally, I think it's a movie that everyone should see because it was one of the best action films I've seen for ages, it had a good plot and it special effects are incredible. The saga has seven movies, allways my favourite had been the first but this yeas they have released the seventh that is certainly the best of all.

Green Funeral Pre-paid plans
As with our 'at need' funerals, with our pre paid plans we like to start with a blank page. Then together we talk and we help you to find the best way for you you to say goodbye. Such an important rite of passage should be personal, and we are here to guide and support you.
A pre paid plan (and indeed, our "Personal Wishes" pre-arrangement plans) lifts the burden of making funeral arrangments, to truly reflect the life lived, at the time of great emotion, from the family. Our Funeral Plans, like our funerals, offer a unique, bespoke service which is truly personal to the family in question.
For some people the choice os coffin is important. TV has highlighted the beauty of a woven bamboo or wicker coffin through a serious of high profile funerals in recent years. Or maybe a simple cardboard coffin is what you would prefer – which could be decorated by your friends and family.
For others it is the woodland burial which is most significant. With grave space in traditional cemeteries being at a premium and in limited supply, it can be seen as the most sensible option. Being at one with nature and in beautiful surroundings, it still gives family the opportunity to "visit" once in a while but removes the duty of maintaining a traditional grave and memorial.
Occasionally, families want to be very 'hands-on' and may wish to transport the coffin to the funeral in their own vehicle or assist with carrying and lowering the coffin. Others might want no funeral or mourning dress. Others might want a combination.
The important thing to us is that you get the funeral you want. For more information on our bespoke pre-paid Funeral Plans or Personal Wishes pre arrangement plans, then please contact us.
At Daniel Ross Funerals, Walmley, we pride ourselves on providing a memorable, distinguished funeral which doesn't have to be based on expenditure. Often it is the attention to the smallest details that truly personalise. When it comes to environmentally friendly funerals, we are proud to be members of the Association of Green Funeral Directors (AGFD) and to be on the Natural Death Centre's list of Funeral Directors (the only one in Sutton Coldfield).
