Check out this inspiring write-up on Acciones Plásticas プリクラ on Truth and Healing Project.
excerpt below:
goodness. I've been thinking a lot about the intersections between new media and traditional forms of knowledge and how these intersections can be ways of supporting tradition, innovation, resistance and liberation. As a media-maker, I've thought a lot about non-traditional forms of telling stories and the value of stories to allow us as individuals and communities to grow and remain in movement. I want to both honor our traditions and create space for challenge in order to support growth. This is particularly challenging when, as indigenos, we are usually FORCED into the frozen stance (as my sister Whisper says) of the "American Imaginary". Born out of a flat analysis, the "American Imaginary" boxes us into specific archetypes and narratives that, though perhaps grounded in truth, metaphorically and at times literally "freeze" us and immobilize us from engaging in healthy movement and LIFE. As a guatemalan-born/ mixed -id'd/ mayan-adoptee I've dreamed about new and innovative ways to create forums and craft form that embodies the intersections of say, mayan id, transracial queer, working class, single teen mama id. For example, as a queerasfuck femme I've LITERALLY dreamed of beginning a series of corsets created out of huipil's with stories attached to each… though I have yet to begin work on that. I am so excited by the thoughts of spaces for dialogue, beauty, challenge & examination of the COMPLEX identities embodies by the our contemporary indigena communities. . Fierce and phenomenal chicana and radical latina artists have had HUGE impacts on me but I've been hungry to see this come from other guatemelan/ mayan artists. Today, I got a taste of a contemporary and GUATEMALAN artist who is actively engaged in a similar examination! I came across this blog (and art work) and it was as if an answer was given to me in the form of possibilities. A sweet affirmation that this form of mayan/guatemalan art CAN and DOES exist.

You know how everyone gets annoyed at the way political strategists start talking about 2016 when it's 2013? Well, I hope it's not quite as annoying when bloggers incessantly talk about movies that won't be out forever—'cause that's where I'm at with the news that Rodham, a movie depicting Hillary Rodham Clinton during her law-school years, is going forward.
Scarlett Johansson is rumored to be the front-runner for the title role. I'll be honest: I'm not sure I see it. I guess that's because whenever I watch her in a movie, all I see is ScarlettScarlettScarlettScarlett. Then again, every great actress seems to have that defining career moment of a role they disappear into, and this could be hers. Reese Witherspoon and Jessica Chastain are also being batted around—but I think we've already seen Reese's law-school movie and Jessica's national-contribution one. More so, I'm picturing...
Natalie Portman. This isn't an earth-shattering example—most meaty roles probably pass across her desk—but Natalie's sense of gravitas makes her a perfect fit. Plus, she went to Harvard, Hillary went to Wellesley and Yale—the pedigree is there.
I feel like Kelly MacDonald has a steely, driven quality that could take young Rodham to the next level. Plus, there's something kismet about Merida and Hill being connected.
Maybe it's just because her Met Gala hair choices were very modern-day Clinton (who's truly punk, if not Hillary?), but Anne Hathaway is coming to mind for me here. She oozes the ambition, confidence, and wit I associate with the former Secretary of State.
I'd love to see Rachel McAdams turn up her edgy side a little, channeling Clinton—like Morning Glory + State of Play x 1000.
This might be a little out of the box, but I feel sure that Alison Brie could kill this role. Her Community studiousness + her classy Mad Men grit + a yet-unmatched chance to plumb the depths of her dramatic skills = excellence. And I think if she can handle Pete Campbell, she can handle Bill.
Perhaps still more out of the box, and yet so right: I can see a long-haired Chloe Sevigny infusing the role with tons of intelligence and intimidation.
But whom would I choose if I could just pick one girl's name to throw into the casting hat? Hands down, Andrea Riseborough. She's got the look, the smarts, and the precise level of stardom that's right for this part—about to really explode but in need of that perfect part to ignite the flame.
Who do you think should play Hillary? P.S. This gives you guys something to talk about if you run into her at the CFDA awards next week. She's rumored to be presenting an award to Oscar de la Renta!

This is week 18 and we still haven't finished any of the projects we started with. I was shocked but the CEO was happy to see what he suspected being highlighted in black and white. He loves the process. The number one project which we were awaiting our customer to approve was agreed to by them so it is a go but it turns out that this is really just the completion of one of the modules we have identified as a lower priority project. So we moved this project up to the number one slot and crossed out the customer name on the original project.
Now that the meetings are running smoothly, we decided to bring in one project per week for a project review. The first victim will be the project that has been threatening to end for the last ten weeks so we can see what is going on with it.

Thanks again! When I first read the question "What makes you a nerd?" I was thinking to myself: I have no way to answer that. I don't THINK I'm a nerd. Then as I started writing, all my true colors showed. And you know what? I'm proud to say that I AM a nerd.

Aww, you guys are all so nice! Thanks!
I originally started saying "hecka" in Cali, but only recently have I begun to use it again. I need to represent NorCal here in Utah...but I guess Utahns say that word too? I don't know. I've never heard it used here before.

Our signature glass cover book features scratch-resistant glass, a leather back, and extra thick, rigid pages.
Our hard cover books showcase a piece of art wrapped around the entire book, and card-stock pages.

Oh, the marvels of finding and replacing text automagically. It's a command that exists in every modern word processor, and is incredibly powerful and simple to use. But as I've personally experienced it before (and perhaps you as well) it could deal real hidden damage when not used carefully – replacing words that shouldn't have been replaced.
This was the unfortunate case for Barnes & Noble, the company behind the Nook ebook reader, when a blogger realized that the word "kindled'' was being erroneously replaced by "Nookd" – an obvious attempt to adapt the Kindle version of the book to a Nook version. The blogger, Philip Howard writes,
"I had read about half of the novel when I was given the gift of a Nook, the e-reader from Barnes and Noble. Although I am committed to supporting my neighborhood independent book store (Books to be Red), and enjoying honest-to-goodness books, the .99 Nook edition was so lightweight that it has made reading War and Peace a genuine pleasure. For those of you who have not tackled this tome as yet, it is a page-turner.
As I was reading, I came across this sentence: "It was as if a light had been Nookd in a carved and painted lantern…." Thinking this was simply a glitch in the software, I ignored the intrusive word and continued reading. Some pages later I encountered the rogue word again. With my third encounter I decided to retrieve my hard cover book and find the original (well, the translated) text.
For the sentence above I discovered this genuine translation: "It was as if a light had been kindled in a carved and painted lantern…."
It's not confirmed who's at fault here, though it is most likely the publishing company Superior Formatting Publishing. It's a silly mistake if you ask me. Why would the Kindle version contain any reference to "Kindled" anyways?
Luckily, we used Project Gutenberg's for our War and Peace poster so there is no similar folly…unless somebody wanted to replace any original references from "Gutenberg" to "Project Gutenberg!"
I found this edited photo to be hilarious in the original article by Venturebeat.

I had a "moment" last week where I somehow found myself on Etsy and felt the compulsion to buy tea cosies. I know…some people are "shoe" people; I have my own compulsions. I bought two. One, is shaped like a strawberry and the other, like a figgy pudding (for Christmas, of course!). Well, today, the strawberry arrived via Royal Mail from England and I literally giggled with glee! (yes, I giggled with glee). It was from White Doll Arts.

Tor Browser 8.0a1 is released
Tor Browser 8.0a1 is now available from the Tor Browser Project page and also from our distribution directory.
This release features important security updates to Firefox.
Tor Browser 8.0a1 is the first alpha release in the 8.0 series. Apart from the usual Firefox security updates we have included the new stable Tor, 0.3.2.9, and updated Torbutton and Tor Launcher to the same version shipped in Tor Browser 7.5.
We added a new MAR signing key following our plan to yearly rotate one of our update signing keys and included a patch contributed by ffmancera (thanks!) dealing with possible fingerprinting by checking video decoding performance: before Tor Browser 8.0a1 users were getting videos in a different format depending on the performance of the decoding.
On the build side it is noteworthy that starting with this alpha release all bundles are built on some Debian version. If you notice some issues on Windows (those bundles were previously built on Ubuntu Precise), let us know.
The full changelog since Tor Browser 7.5a10 is:
- All Platforms
- Update Firefox to 52.6.0esr
- Update Tor to 0.3.2.9
- Update Torbutton to 18.104.22.168
- Update Tor Launcher to 0.2.14.3
- Translations update
- Update HTTPS Everywhere to 2018.1.11
- Bug 24756: Add noisebridge01 obfs4 bridge configuration
- Bug 23916: Add new MAR signing key
- Bug 22548: Firefox downgrades VP9 videos to VP8 for some users
- Windows

Story Bags!
Every week we use our story bags to help us create stories. There are 5 story bags that each make up a part of the story:
Who? - who or what is the main character in our story?
Where? - where does this character live? What is it like?
Where next? - where does our character go to?
Why? - why does our character travel to this place?
Where last and feelings? - where does our character end up and how do they feel?
Each week a new picture for each bag is put inside for us to explore, except the Why? bag, which is always left blank for us to write! Repeating the same structure every week means that we learn how stories are structured and eventually we will be able to generate our own stories completely on our own!
Can you use the photos to retell our stories from class? Come in and tell us if you can! Why not draw a picture and write a sentence or two about the story?
The written 'why' in the following photos might be different to the one your child remembers because each class generates their own 'why' that relates to their story.
Story bags for the week beginning 9th March 2015

Our Best Mother's Day Gift Idea: A Better Bouquet
The party problem: It's Mother's Day! And you have zero presents to give your mom! You could stop at the supermarket and get her flowers, but eh — you want to do something a little more creative and fun for her. (She deserves it!) Oh, and she's allergic to flowers anyway.
The party trick: Swing by your local kitchen store to pick up a bunch of super-colorful tools and turn them into a cute makeshift bouquet.
A whisk, rasp grater, spatula, wooden spoon, pair of tongs — almost any tool is fair game. Think about what your mom might need or go for some classics to replace her older stuff. Try to stick to a similar color scheme (we used yellow because it's so cheery!) or go totally wacky and pick up an assortment of all the colors.
Then get some pretty paper (tissue paper or wrapping paper will do the trick) and lay it out on a table. Remove all of the packaging from the tools — especially those price tags! — and lay the tools down diagonally in the top right corner of the paper. Carefully wrap the paper around the handles of the tools just like you would wrap the stems of flowers. Secure the paper with twine or tape, add a gift tag, and you've got a bouquet of kitchen tools!
We're guessing it'll last a whole lot longer than the real stuff. And no one has to scramble to put them in water.

Tree Surrounds In Brighton
KBI Flexi™-Stone Installation - Stoneleigh
For this project in Stoneleigh, we replaced old loose shingle, with a beautiful new KBI Flexi™-Stone Surface. The material shares many of the same features as KBI Flexi™-Pave product, but utilises purely stone instead of a rubber & stone mix. The stone is bound using a modified polyurethane agent, resulting is a totally porous surfacing material that will not crack, tear, split or freeze. Water runs straight through this surface, meaning no more standing water. It is also very aesthetically
Epsom KBI Flexi™-Stone Installation
For this project in Epsom, we installed KBI Flexi™-Stone. This property belonged to a builder, who had done all the necessary ground works himself. We then laid the Flexi™Stone on top of the prepared ground. KBI Flexi™-Stone is a great alternative to traditional surfacing materials. Aside from being porous, and allowing complete drainage, it's non-cracking even in freeze/thaw conditions and extremely impact absorbent.
Havent Crematorium
For this project, we went to Havent Crematorium in Portsmouth. This Crematorium is at the forefront of Green technology. The Oaks Crematorium has been built to the highest environmental standards and employs the latest techniques in cremation and clean air technology to prevent pollution to the air and surrounding environment. They harness the heat produced from their operations to meet the heating and hot water needs of the building. Our work was set in their 8.5 acres of grounds. We
Kingswood Update
This is an update from a previous post about a project in Kingswood. Our previous blog was about the beginning of the project, in which a large site with a lot of renovations and new builds, needed clearing of rubble. We crushed this rubble and we were going to use the material for sub-base in new patios. Here you can see what we did with the patios.
Worcester Park Total Refurbishment
For this client in Worcester Park, we carried out a total refurbishment and extension of her driveway. This also included building new walls and the installation of KBI Flexi™–Pave. This means that the new driveway will be completely porous and allow water to run straight through. This means there will be no more standing water when it rains. The client was very happy with the work, and the Flexi™–Pave perfectly suited her needs.
Redhill Foundations
This was another tough one for AC Plant. This site had very poor access, and several other logistical problems. Other firms might have turned down such a tough one, but not us! We reduced the garden to levels, then constructed new foundations and drainage. We like to take on a difficult challenge, and this certainly gave us a good opportunity to test our skills.

Microsoft has bought video search company VideoSurf and will put it into the Xbox business.
VideoSurf has technology that can "see" inside videos to index their actual content, rather than relying exclusively on tags. Microsoft says it will add VideoSurf to the Xbox 360 "ecosystem" and to Xbox Live to "evolve search and discovery of entertainment content."
The Kinect controller already has a voice-controlled search function, but users have to be pretty specific with their commands. Adding VideoSurf's technology could help users find content with more random commands.
VideoSurf includes some big name investors like Vice President Al Gore and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg.
The rumored price of the acquisition was about $70 million.

On the north-east of Manly lies the Pacific Ocean. To the south-west is Sydney Harbour. The two are separated by only a five-minute walk along The Corso. To the south-east of Manly is North Head, the northern portal of the entrance to the harbour. From here there is an excellent view.
The walk to the head and back covers about ten kilometres and takes some three hours. Walk through The Corso and turn right beside the beach. At the end of the beach, continue along the shoreline to Fairy Bower and Shelly Beach and then turn right and right again, up into Bower Street, left into College Street, right into Reddall Street, left into Addison Road and left into Darley Road. It is possible to shorten this route, and you may choose to do so on the return, by proceeding straight along Darley Road, but the views on the climb up from the shoreline should not be missed if possible.
There is one fork along the way from here to North Head. You should choose the road on the right, which is named North Head Scenic Drive. On your left, you will pass a military reserve, while on your right is the Old Quarantine Station, a fascinating place to visit, but one which needs a prior reservation.
After a bend, the National Artillery Museum is on the left, and then you come to the end of the road and the Fairfax Walking Track. The track is circular and gives fine views of both harbour and ocean sides. It takes about half an hour to go round it. Then return by the same route, but continue along Darley Road straight back to Manly.

Oriental Poppy Princess Victoria Louise
Perennial gardeners' eternal challenge is finding a local nursery that offers a wide variety of Oriental poppies. Few in my area sell Papaver orientalis , even fewer offer a wide selection and almost none sell the plant in a size that blooms same season.
Adding this perennial to the flowerbed is an excruciatingly painful exercise in deferred gratification: - buy it now, watch it wither and hope optimistically to see flowers next year because reawakening is never guaranteed.
Online nurseries have been somewhat helpful in addressing the above issues especially when they offer hard-to-find new introductions. Unfortunately, plugs of Oriental poppies dislike being shipped by mail and their survival rate in my garden after planting is poor.
Another challenge for this gardener is how to integrate the most beautiful and tallest varieties of these poppies – the red ones - into a predominantly pastel-colored English style garden. It's not an easy design task unless one replaces standards of beauty with bold and theatrical visual drama.
The more appealing design solution is to plant the variety Princess Victoria Louise because it blends well into most pastel-colored gardens.
One of its attributes is the ease with which light and weather variations transform the color of its petals. Cloudy days make them glow in a fluorescent shade of light coral. Cool sunny days bring out rich peachy tones and brutally hot weather causes the petals to fade into soft delicate shades of pastel almon-pink.
Another quality is the ease with which it moderately propagates itself by self-seeding. Although many favorite perennials do so, it is thrilling to see this happening to Princess Victoria Louise. Over several years, if left unattended, it will fill the flowerbed with a riot of large, billowing pastel salmon-pink petals that seem to float above the tops of all other perennials in the spring garden. The results can be breathtaking.
The large oval seedpods of Papaver orientalis offer dramatic architectural and textural interest to the garden after petals have dropped. However, those who desire greater control over the appearance of their flowerbeds are urged to deadhead the plant immediately after blooming to avoid self-seeding.
Finally, this perennial prefers sun and dry growing conditions. Transplanting is frustrating due to deep-reaching tap roots. If it must be moved, expect instant trauma and dormancy. The likelyhood that it will endure to bloom the following year is high.

Personal Projects
4227 Amau St., Honolulu Hawaii (2003-2005) The
house was built in 1953 in Kahala - a flat dry area of Honolulu on the other side of Diamond Head from Waikiki. The
project included doing numerous restorations to the house (unheard of in Hawaii). Primary here is the landscape.
Being expensive to buy and usable year round, every bit of land is used. My goal was to produce a landscape, not a garden,
and included the pool, the pond, a cabana bath, whirlpool spa, and outdoor shower. Owing
to a corner lot which sits high from the street, the plan reverses the norm - the front and front side yard becomes the 'backyard'
play space. The pool takes on a lap-friendly,50's kitch, Hawaiian shape. A U-shaped screen enclosed the equipment
and forms one wall of a pergola off the master bedroom and ends the short end of the pool with a water fountain spout.
The pergola protects the room from the morning tropical sun, it blocks view of a telephone pole as one moves up the yard,
and it defines the more intimate space around the volcano spa. Taken from my work at 3626 Leahi (see below) the volcano
spa reflects Hawaii by being an island in a sea of gravel. An outdoor shower surrounded by a grove of MacArthur palms
at the far top of the yard completes the progression from public to intimate. The whole front side is surrounded by
a moss rock wall, topped by a wooden fence with a continuous Murraya paniculata (orange jessamine) hedge inside to unify all
the parts and provide absolute privacy from the street. The back yard, off the huge lanai being
the highest profile outside space when a visitor comes into the property, acts as a front yard. It includes a formal raised
pond, Japanese style stepping stones set in gravel, and a grove of black bamboo (phyllostachys nigra). The bamboo provides
privacy from the neighbors and shade from the western sun. It is contained by the ability to stop watering it.
3 Vacation Condos, Honolulu, Hawaii (2001-2002) This project was the purchase and renovation of three Waikiki
condo units for use as short term vacation rentals. Small changes to the problematic existing plans made for gracious
and efficient spaces. Decorating was done in a cool, tropical theme. I ran the unit rentals successfully for three
years before selling the units at a profit.
3626 Leahi landscape, Honolulu, Hawaii (2002)
This project strted by walling in a 5000 s.f. lot across the street from Kapiolani Park. Around the house
the overriding concept was to creat planting islands in a sea of gravel, as an imitation of the Hawaiian islands surrounded
by the Pacific. Being on a dry side micro-climate, this provided asuccessful way to balance dry and sprinklered areas.
2020 Hillyer Place, NW, Washington DC (1999-2002) We
found this burnt out shell in a prime Dupont Circle location. It gave the opportunity to gut and do a completely new
interior, before it became common to do so in historic townhouses in DC. Complete loss of all original features also gave
the opportunity for an unapologetic modern interior. Built in 1886, the original house had many Japonaise details,
as was the fashion of the time. Picking up on this and with my study of Japanese language, I incorporated Japanese features
such as the shojis screens, and materials use with the extensive maple (which being rarely used at the time was very affordable)
combined with clay green colors similar to traditional Japanese tea house color combinations. This house
was on the 2000 Dupont Circle House Tour.
18th St NW, Washington DC (1989-1998)On our first home built mid 1920's, this years-long renovation started
with hands-on work restoring windows each by hand and painstakingly stripping of all the original interior doors and hardware.
Major bath and kitchen renovations responded to the 1920's original by using similar materials and aiming at similar ideals
popular when the house was built.

A friend once posted "Don't know what else to do in SG. Been here so many times." My first thought - why'd you go there in the first place. But I wonder if that is a popular predicament, now that people are much more mobile. Although there a zillion other cities to visit, inevitably one finds visiting certain places more than once.
My advice: Start out by listing places you want to visit again. A 'must-do-everytime' list. This will probably include fave restos, even tourist spots or sceneries and shops. I build on top of that places crowd-sourced, either from friends and family or lately, from online apps and sites like TripAdvisor and Foursquare. There's always an updated list of trending restaurants, shops and must-dos.
In our last trip to SG, some of the regular must-dos: shopping at this specialty store in Ion Orchard. My mom collects dollhouse miniatures. I discovered this brand (https://www.reutterporcelain.com) from Germany in my previous trips to SG. The shop Das Erzebirge-Haus carried the brand among so many other collectibles. The detail is so intricate. You can find the shop at the top floor of Ion Orchard.
Another mall I like visiting is Orchard Plaza. This 'fashion-forward' place houses shops and stores that have a 'hipster'-feel to it. From accessories to bags to even furnishings, I like the mix of stores here.
During my last trip, the bakeshop Lady M was high on the trending list. I finally got to try the layered crepe that made this shop famous. It was good, not too sweet. I like the airy interiors of the place, located inside that mall, too.
I just love the croissant at Tiong Bahru Bakery. I usually visit the one at Tang's along Orchard. Freshly-baked, with the right butter-creamy taste, crisp and flakiness, the croissants also come as sandwiches.
Finally, a trip to SG won't be complete without having an attendance check at Neil Road's rainbow bars. Between Tantric and Taboo, I like Tantric better. It's actually like choosing between a bar and a dance club. I happen to like bars better, I guess. I saw a lot more foreigners in Tantric, too, as the locals converge more in Taboo.
So far, that's what I have on SG. Next up, Boracay.

A mourning son makes a deal to re-animate his mother, who's already been dead for a year, however, things go a very unexpected direction. Ed Chilton (Steve Buscemi) inherits his family's hardware store following the death of his beloved mother, Mabel (Miriam Margolyes). He lives with his maternal uncle, Benny (Ned Beatty), who appears to be happy that his annoying sister is out of his life. One morning, Ed is approached at work by salesman A. J. Peddle (John Glover), who offers to resurrect Ed's mother for just $1,000. Ed is skeptical, but Peddle insists that it must be done immediately, as she has been dead for too long to risk further delays. Ed accepts, disturbing Uncle Benny, who believes the act to be immoral. Mother's behavior becomes increasingly bizarre and when she begins chasing neighborhood dogs with a knife, Ed is forced to admit that something may be wrong. He seeks help from Peddle, but the salesman wants more money. Her behaviors become so outlandish and dangerous, he realizes his only way out is to remove his mother's heads and finally tell her goodbye. But nothing is this simple, mom's head refuses to die and bites him on the lip when he gives her a final kiss. Disgusted, he throws her head back into her grave, finally free of his zombie mommy.

The Way of The Livingness requires no subscription fee, attendance or oath of allegiance.
The Way of The Livingness is everything we as a human race have ever asked for yet dare not live for ourselves. It is everything I have ever asked for.
The Way of The Livingness is not only a religion but is equally a philosophy and a science. It is the all-in-one, providing the answers to the big questions that have left many great thinkers wondering
What allows the teachings of The Way of The Livingness to be so succinct with life is because… it's all about life. Incorporating life in every aspect and every detail, it deserves to be examined. This is why the answers to the big questions seem so much more attainable as it is a way of life that supports the equal consideration of every facet of living.
It is a way of living that doesn't leave anything to the supposed randomness of life, heaving and hoeing like driftwood being crashed upon by coastal waves. Instead, The Way of The Livingness offers the opportunity to see, feel and live life from its truest aspects. It is a deep care for the observations and development of nature, people, situations and ourselves. It fosters the deepest aspect of ourselves. It is a way of life that is empowering, loving and fulfilling, that enables a breath of responsibility in everything we do. It is the responsibility in knowing everything we do will support another, or not.
It is a connection with God and divinity around us every day. It is the feeling of absolute joy to wake up every morning willing to do whatever is needed to be done. It is not about being passive, soft or weak but instead holding the strength within our hearts to walk our innate essence with every step we take
The Way of The Livingness sees life as a whole, anything left to be reduced into compartments clearly suffers. It views our Mind, Body, Spirit and Soul as having equal importance. This means nothing is ever at the expense of anything else.
The Way of The Livingness is an all-encompassing approach, truly providing a holistic approach to life

The 2015 Dallas ISD Bond Program has encountered several problems that are slowly adding up. The first was the planned closing of all DISD elementary schools east of Hampton in West Dallas. See those events recorded here.
The 2015 Bond plans to replace Rosemont are out of place when you study the Parsons Report that was completed in 2013 on all DISD schools, studying the condition of all DISD buildings and giving a numeric value to the need for replacement called the Facility Condition Index or the FCI. The average FCI for all buildings in DISD was 22.1% indicating that half of all DISD schools and buildings are above that and in worse condition. Rosemont has an FCI of only 11.74%, or about half the FCI of the average DISD building.
The following two pages were taken from a 6 page spreadsheet on the Facility Condition Index for all of the buildings in DISD. The first three pages were on the elementary school buildings. Here are the first two of those pages listing the buildings from those in "poor" condition (pink), to those in "fair" condition (yellow), and finally to those in "good" condition (green), which is where Rosemont is listed.
Parsons Report that is located here online.
Rosemont has one of the lowest scores in DISD with 96 elementary schools with higher/worse scores than Rosemont. The only other elementary schools being replaced in this bond election have FCI scores all over 37%! Rosemont is only at 11.74%! I have asked many Futures Facility Task Force members why Rosemont was chosen for destruction and replacement and have yet to receive an good answer.
Yes, improvements are needed to the Rosemont building to help it better meet the needs of students and teachers, but that could be done without spending $41 million to replace a building in good condition when improvements are so much more urgently needed in over a hundred other elementary, middle and high schools in DISD in worse shape! Is the relative affluence and high voter turnout of a large segments of the Rosemont feeder pattern a factor, along with the fact that the DISD Board President's child attends Rosemont?
The painful bottom line is that Rosemont is a wonderful success with their dual language two-way Spanish-English program and their transition into being a Pk-8 school. They received the highest awards available from TEA this year for their middle school, and were the only non-magnet middle school in DISD to receive those honors. They are also very popular with parents and have 41% of their students from outside their attendance zone. They have a lottery for those outside of their attendance zone. DISD must spread that success!
With the $41 million planned for spending on tearing down this 1922 Historic Building, which Preservation Dallas wants to save, and has on their 2015 Most Endangered List, linked here, DISD could transition three other Pk-5 schools in the area into being Pk-8 schools. The success of Rosemont could spread! The enrollment pressure on Rosemont could be lessened. This is a much more reasonable alternative for the limited funds that Dallas ISD will have in this $1.6 billion 2015 Bond Election.
The passage of the bond election this November is endangered due to decisions like this that are being blamed on the Future Facilities Task Force, but I am beginning to think were decisions made by DISD staff instead. The search for the logic behind it is continuing.
Why is DISD not seeking to serve thousands of more students with scarce bond funds rather than replacing one historic building in "good" condition but with overcrowding that could be quickly eliminated by upgrading several neighborhood schools to have similar Pk-8 programs? This could all be done to several area schools with the same $41 million now planned for removing and replacing only the historic part of the Rosemont campus. Other much less expensive modifications could be done to that building to achieve changes that are needed and at the same time save the historic reality of a 1922 building, and serve thousands of more students with the money saved in the process.

Mon 26 Jan 2009 in Northampton:
|This expedition was part of a multihash by Benjw. For the other parts, see:

The expedition[edit]
I'd already been to the hashpoint in the Cambridge graticule this afternoon, but due to the prime meridian there was another one on offer only about 20 miles away near Peterborough. I had a quick stop in the village of Christchurch to try to find a couple of geocaches (one found, one not) but then the sun was starting to think about setting, so I made my way west as swiftly as possible.
The hashpoint was near a large shopping mall, so I made use of their carpark and their facilities, then walked through the underpass under the A1260. I was quite close to an office building, but the hashpoint itself was on some waste ground next door. With all the new shops and offices nearby I was surprised that it hadn't been built on yet. There was a small ditch, but it wasn't big enough to be intended to keep people out, just to drain water, so I was easily able to find the hashpoint about ten metres away from the office carpark. I again tried to photograph the GPS but none of the numbers came out. Everything else was very un-picturesque so I just snapped a couple of shots in either direction from the edge of the waste ground and headed back to the car.
Another small detour on the way back led to finding a small geocache in the shopping centre carpark -- GCX29F -- but I forgot to photograph it as proof so you'll just have to believe me.
By then it was almost 5pm so I set off for home before the rush hour started.

"Dream about an idyllic place"
Many hours, many days, many weeks and years have been spent by women in older generations using embroidery to create an idyllic view of the world around them. Many dreaming of a life that is beyond their grasp.
These stitches and dreams are for most part forgotten, and thrown away to eternity, lost never to been appreciated. This furniture's destiny is to elevate and promote these neglected pieces of art, bring back a long lost sentimental value and mix it with contemporary aesthetic.

Batter is the perfect way to turn bad days into better ones. This relatively new crispy crepe shop is located near Kent Ridge MRT and within easy reach of the National University Hospital. Students, office workers, doctors, and even patients – I read one of them sneaked out of his ward – flock in at meal times for a Batter alternative. That includes a selection of sweet and savoury crispy crepes with top international brands of ingredients like Nutella, Hersheys and Post Cereals. Since Batter directly imports its ingredients from the suppliers, it is also able to charge at affordable prices. Fun-looking with inviting colours and welcoming staff, you will surely to enjoy the whole Batter experience.
From a distance, the smell of warm and freshly made crepes already tickled our senses. Sean, one of two partners who operates the shop, picked out three popular crepe flavours for us to try. Despite having arrived in the middle of the rush, our wait for the crepes was surprisingly short.
Unlike traditional soft crepes, Batter crepes are made slightly crispy as Singaporeans tend to prefer food with well-defined textures. Nutella & Banana is a classic combination of fresh fruity and gooey chocolatey goodness. For a more unique taste, try Apple Crumble, a medley of sweet Batter chunky apple jam, digestive crumbs and salted caramel sauce. Wrapped up in such a fashion that we could walk around and eat, we found ourselves throwing away the idea of eating daintily and started chomping down.
More popular at lunch hour is Lunch Munch, generously filled with egg, nacho cheese, pan roasted potatoes, lettuce, tomatoes, chicken ham, caramelised onions and sauteed wild mushrooms. Despite the combination of crunchy and juicy ingredients wrapped up in thin crispy crepe, Lunch Munch did not break apart. Instead, it managed to create a certain Q-ness in that it became slightly chewy, but still crisp at the right edges.
Other fillings on the menu that might interest you include lemon curd, durian, old school ice cream, Batter chicken mayo and smoked salmon. Sean also shared that Batter would be introducing a new Oreo S'mores flavour in the month to come. We're definitely keeping a look out on that one! So if you are in the locale, or traveling on the Circle Line for matter of fact, take it from us and pop by to order a Batter crepe. You will not be disappointed, and might just beg to return for more!

I won an award!! Thank you Brenda for this award. I am honored (and surprised, but still mostly honored). Brenda runs a couple blogs that are awesome. She talks openly about infertility on I AM where she wrote an awesome letter to fertile woman. She also has a family blog and my favorite part is Matching Monday. It is the first place I go every Monday morning. Thank you Brenda for your work in helping these children find homes. Thanks to you I have taken a step off the cliff and inquired about a waiting sibling group. (Which we were told to wait until the END of July for a response!)
1. My very favorite infertility blog is In Pursuit of Parenthood. She writes everything I wish I could say in such a beautiful, thought provoking way. I would highlight just one post of hers, but I love all of them.
2. When I need a good laugh, I always go to 3 Cute Kids. Here kids crack me up! My favorite post is You can choose. This has become a running joke at our house! We are always using it against each other telling them to choose something.
3. I have always dreamed of having twins and looking at all the pictures of these two little girls at Trent & Carlie and Co. I want a set of twins of my own. Even if you don't have twins, be sure to check out her Twin Tips because they could apply to anyone with a baby.
4. Sometimes I actually feel blessed about our infertility (got to love that male infertility can be a final answer to your medical woes), especially when I watch friends take on the evil pill known as Clomid. I am so glad I never had to try that. What a wrecky hormone pill! But my friend, Ashley, at Feigning Fertility is trying to conceive with that pill.
5. When we decided to adopt, I was delighted to learn that I had a cousin who was adopting too. I love talking with her about our struggles and I secretly hope that heaven smiles down on us and we adopt at the same time so our children can be friends. I also wish I could decorate as beautifully as she does.
6. Failed adoptions are heartbreaking. In just one week I knew of three different couples who had one happen to them. An Eternal Family in Progress was one of them. They are currently holding a contest that will help them spread the word that they are trying to adopt.
7. The star of Kiara's Corner is of course Kiara. What a doll! She is cute and funny. Check out some of her silliness at Kiara-isms.
8. When we first decided to adopt, open adoption terrified us. But then we started to meet people and learn what a wonderful thing it really is. Dustin, Andrea & Avery have a great open adoption with their birth mom Andee. I can only hope and pray that someday we can have that kind of relationship too.
9. I follow several crafty blogs, but one of my favorites is Inky Smiles. She is amazing at scrap booking. Someday I will get brave enough to actually try some of the things she does like Quilling & Butterflies.
10. I can't forget my other favorite blog. (Her kids have me rolling on the floor in laughter!) Mommy Musings: Notes from the Trenches, may look like she has her hands full, but with kids like hers there is never a dull moment. One of my personal favorites, the gum letter.

We are always finding ways to go to the city of Grapevine and experiencing the many kid friendly attractions. We were gifted tickets to ride the vintage train in downtown Grapevine. This experience I had with my family was one we wanted to do since we knew about it. The trains are one of the biggest attractions in Grapevine and lots of families come here for that. My kids are big train enthusiasts, they really like reading books on trains and watching show about them as well. It was only fitting that they were super excited to ride on such a magnificent train.
The trains are really big and several train cars make up the unit. They offer trains with outdoor seating and air conditioned cabins. I really liked both options when riding the trains with your family. My kids especially like riding near the windows to get a better view. One of the coolest things on the ride is the snacks that they provide to the riders. Of course my kids were all about getting snacks on the train. The good thing is that snacks are cheap in price and the popcorn was our favorite. So I recommend picking a comfy spot on the train and give your kids the window seat. You will thank us for that.
The coolest part of the train ride is of course the destination. You will arrive at the Stockyards in Ft. Worth and given a few hours to walk around and have time to grab lunch. The Stockyards is also a fun destination to go with your family and see life as a cowboy herding longhorns. The kids really loved it and we ate yummy food while at the Stockyards. We had some ice cream before getting back on the train.
We are big fans of trains and I know that your family will enjoy this time together. Disconnect from your phones for a few hours and soak in some quality time. There is nothing more rewarding then seeing the joy in your kids eyes experiencing something as cool as riding in a vintage train. That will only be experienced by being together and sharing those moments looking out the window.
Have FUN

Room 314: All Things for Good?
Whether we are enduring the death of a child, a long-term illness, or some other significant suffering, we long to know that our suffering is significant. In a recent sermon on Romans 8:28 and 29, Pastor Tim Keller helped me understand the significance of our sufferings, and that our sufferings are not allowed by God merely to better our earthly circumstances but to become more like Jesus. The Apostle Paul writes, "...And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose..." Romans 8:28. This passage does not mean that God is using our sufferings to better our earthly circumstances. As Keller points out, we should not use this verse to think that God necessarily uses the death of a child to improve hospital procedures, the dissolution of a relationship to give us a better spouse in the future or a job loss now to ultimately give a better job in the future. Instead, Keller points to the very next verse to show that God calls us to endure all suffering for the eternal purpose of shaping us into Christ. "For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers." Romans 8.29. What great assurance we have that our greatest sufferings will not result in just earthly improvements, in changes in our circumstances that may or may not last, and that are dependent on human effort and will. Instead, we can rest in the assurance that our sufferings are allowed to create in us an eternal weight of glory such that Jesus is considered the first of many brothers and sisters. This promise for an eternal consequence to our sufferings makes the endurance of these earthly trials far more worthwhile.

Room 314: Patience
I gained some insight through my experience in Room 314 not only into how terribly impatient I am, but why it is that I grow impatient. I become impatient when I attempt to achieve certain goals in my own strength, confuse these goals with larger, Spirit-led objectives, and then get frustrated when I cannot achieve those self-imposed goals in my own strength. Ever since beginning my law practice, I have developed a sense for the "return on investment" ("ROI") of every minute of every day. I've internally measured every endeavor, both personally and professionally, by its ROI to my practice (measured in satisfied clients and revenue) and to me and my family (how much we enjoyed a particular endeavor). But when you are flat on your back in a hospital bed for 15 days straight, 8 of which were without solid food, you gain insight into the "productivity" of life. I was expecting a 3-5 day hospital stay with few complications afterwards. My internally-set goal was to leave in no more than 5 days so that I could return to what was truly "productive" in my life. Of course, this did not occur. As it turned out, and as demonstrated by these blog posts, God used the suffering in Room 314 to teach me considerably more about Himself through this extended stay than if I had met my self-imposed deadline for a return home. There are numerous examples every day of how impatient I am: I would grow impatient at work if factors outside my control impacted a self-imposed deadline to completing a project. Ironically, I found that clients would not even review the project for months after its delivery, even after we slaved away to meet my self-imposed deadline! I grow impatient at home when my children fail to eat their meal as quickly as I would like. Ironically, I found that if I wait, they are more than happy to eat over the course of more than an hour! In contrast to exclusively filling our day with (a) tasks that we deem of utmost importance and (b) a self-imposed schedule for meeting that schedule, I have tried to use the barriers that come up throughout the day as a means to turn back to God and remind myself of His great patience for me and my dependence upon him. I can become a more patient person by focusing on the "endgame" of Christ in my life, and the Holy Spirit's developing a Christ-like character through sufferings, large and small, and not on unmet self-imposed deadlines. The Lord is perfectly patient with us. He waits upon us and responds to us when, after focusing our attention on idolatry of various types, we finally respond in urgency to Him. Paul says, "...I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost [sinner], Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life." 1 Timothy 1:16. While I am still setting self-imposed goals for achieving a good ROI for my day, I am trying to use impediments to achieving those goals as a means to stop and think about God's great patience with me, and consider the significance of each self-imposed deadline in the scope of eternity. I pray that, as I look to Jesus when I might otherwise grow impatient, he would fill me more and more with the joy in Him and the patience necessary to forebear short-term suffering. As Paul says in Romans 5:5, the gradual development of Godly character through patience will not disappoint us eternally, even if it "costs" us unmet personal self-imposed deadlines.

Room 314: In the Furnace of Affliction
God uses the unique sufferings in our lives to remove those specific impediments in our lives that keep us from more fully treasuring Christ. My recent experience of 22 days in the hospital opened my eyes to my impatience and idolatry. In retrospect, I am trusting that it was only through this type of suffering that God could have taught me how my heart had strayed and the need for my repentance. About suffering, Paul says, "...we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us." Romans 5:3-5. In a recent sermon, Pastor Tim Keller explains that Christians are not called to enjoy suffering in itself, but to appreciate the fruit that comes from the suffering. We should not, like the Greek Stoics, attempt to "stuff" grief or think that God calls us to become more like him by "toughing it out," pulling ourselves up by our own bootstraps through suffering, and attempting to succeed in life despite our suffering. Rather, we can respond in great grief, but trust that God has ordained it for our God. For this point, Keller points to the emotional reaction of Job after learning of the death of his entire family. Job tears his rob off, shaves his head, and falls to the ground, an emotional reaction that Keller points out many in the church today might find irreligious. But Job 1:22 says that, in all this, Job did not sin. We can hate the suffering itself, and respond in emotion to the suffering, but appreciate the fact that God is using that suffering for our good. Keller points out that, while one's home furnace is obviously not powered by the cold temperatures outside, the furnace will only pick up in intensity to the degree that the thermostat shows a decrease in the outside temperature. In this sense, the furnace is "powered" by the outside temperatures, because the house relies more and more on the furnace for its warmth through colder and colder temperatures. Our sufferings do not in themselves power change in our lives, but they produce the environment in our heart by which God works. In scripture we are told repeatedly that God, going back even in His relationship with the nation of Israel, uses sufferings to "refine" us, as with metals in a furnace. Isaiah 48:10 says that God used the furnace of affliction on Israel for His Glory. While I don't need to like the suffering itself, I pray that I would recognize that God is using the unique forms of suffering in my own life to "burn off" all sorts of impurities that currently exist in my life, and make me more like Him, for His Glory.

Room 314: Where Hope is Found
My recent illness has caused me to see the form of self-sufficiency upon which I have been placing my hope, and to instead more fully place my hope and joy in Jesus Christ and His sufficiency for my life. Pastor John Piper has taught that since God is sovereign (in control) over all of life, including suffering, we can be sure that God is allowing the particular form of suffering to produce in us a "particular form of glory." In other words, the suffering we are enduring is not haphazard; it is allowed by God in order to cause us to awaken from the slumber of sin and re-orient the nature of our hope. As Christians, We are not called to enjoy suffering in itself. Grieving parents are not called to rejoice in the death of their child. Christians facing health issues are not called to rejoice in their physical pain. But we can rejoice that, since God engineers our sufferings, we can be sure that if we are active in our centering our hope in Christ, then through the particular forms of suffering God allows us to endure, we will ultimately not be disappointed (be "put to shame" as Paul says in Romans 5). In Colossians 1, we are assured that our salvation is assured "if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you have heard..." Colossians 1:23. In my case, the very form of suffering that I have endured has served to strengthen the source of my hope. I have this tendency to mentally check off a "to do" list in order to feel a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day and to have a sense of control in my life. I manage a busy law practice as well as co-parent three living children at our home. Up until my recent illness, I did not realize the pride that I took in thinking that my efforts were maintaining control of my law practice and the upbringing of my children, among other aspects of my life. In Room 314, I was literally flat on my back. I was without strength to manage my children and manage my law practice. My children could not see me for much of my time in the hospital because of my bacterial infection. I could not muster sufficient strength to review and respond to work emails. I could not manage life in my own strength. I had somehow lulled myself into thinking that I was in control of my children's upbringing and the trajectory of my law practice. I don't know if there was any other form of suffering that God could have allowed that would have shown me the sin and fallacy of this self-sufficiency. Now that I have identified it as such, it is crucial that I release my sense of self-sufficiency and renew Jesus Christ as the source of my hope.

This is one of the biggest arguments I get from the neocons "wars are good for the economy and we have to kill people to protect our jobs".
Republicans are now sounding like born-again Keynesians. They object to the automatic budget savings – known as sequestration – that are scheduled to take effect next year, and they are warning that less government spending means fewer jobs. Here's a small sampling of their statements.
Cong. Rob Bishop of Utah claims a sequester will "destroy jobs."
Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi asserts that "up to 1 million jobs are at risk."
Gov. Bob McDonnell of Virginia says that sequestration is "putting hundreds of thousands of jobs in my state at risk.".
