The primary Lhakhang was built around Guru Rimpoche's meditation cave in the 1684by the Penlop of Paro Gyaltse Tenzin Rabgay, this incredible monastery clings to the edge of a sheer rock cliff that plunges 900 meters into the valley below. Legend has it that Guru Padmasambhava, the tantric mystic who brought Buddhism to Bhutan, flew here on the back of a flying tiger, Dorji Drolo, said to be his favourite consort. After Lunch, visit Ta Dzong (built in1656 and renovated in 1968), an ancient watchtower, which now houses the National Museum.

A short walk takes you to the base of the Dzong and across a traditional cantilevered, covered bridge. On the way, visit Tamchog Monastery built by Thangthong Gyalpo (Popularly known as Lama Chazampa, which literally means, the Iron Bridge builder) in the 15th century.

After lunch, visit Punakha Dzong built in 1637 by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal and is situated between Pho Chu (Male river) and Mo Chu (Female river). For many years until the time of the second king, it served as the seat of the Government. The construction of the Dzong was foretold by Guru Rimpoche, who predicted, "…a person named Namgyal will arrive at a hill that looks like an elephant". There was a smaller building here called Dzong Chu (Small Dzong) that housed a statue of Buddha. It is said that Shabdrung ordered the architect, Zowe Palep, to sleep in front of the statue, while Palep was sleeping, the Shabdrung took him in his dreams to Zangtopelri and showed him the palace of Guru Rimpoche. From his vision, the architect conceived the design for the new Dzong, which in keeping with the tradition, was never committed to paper. The Dzong was named Druk Pungthang Dechen Phodrang (Palace of Great Happiness). The war materials captured during the battle with Tibetans are preserved here.

I'm very short of time and want to get this in before Shabbos, so apologies in advance for not doing justice to the topic. In the second hakdamah to Gevuros Hashem the Maharal attacks the wrong ideology of certain philosophers (I assume it's Aristotle that he has in mind) who dismiss the whole notion of miracles as impossible. These philosophers reasoned that the laws of nature are a necessary condition of the existance of the universe, e.g. the universe as we know it would not exist if certain laws of chemistry or certain physical constants were not in place. G-d cannot break these laws without the entire universe coming to a halt.
Maharal responds by arguing that, "Just as there is an order to nature, so too there is an order to the miraculous." (The Sefas Emes on Pesach quotes this line a number of times.) Miracles do not twist or break the laws of the universe because miracles themselves are built into the fabric of nature. In addition to the law of gravity, Planck's constant, etc, there are other laws like the fact that a Yam can split when the existance of the Jewish people is in jeapordy. Maharal goes on to say that miracles are few and far between because the "law," or seder, of miracles demands that certain very specific conditions be in place for them to occur. The time and place must be exactly right to be ripe for a miracle.
I could not help but think of this Maharal when looking at the episode of Mei Meriva in our parsha. Hashem told Moshe to take his staff and bring water from a rock. Rashi writes that Moshe began looking around for the specific rock which he identified as the one Hashem intended him to use, but that rock had become mixed in with other boulders. Bnei Yisrael did not know what was going on -- if Hashem is going to do a miracle, they asked, what difference does it make which rock the water comes from. Moshe responded, "Hamin ha'selah ha'zeh..." -- "Can this rock produce water?" (20:10) Even when it comes to miracles, not all rocks are the same!
In other words, Moshe's response was that there is a seder and order to miracles as well. It's not that Hashem haphazardly breaks the laws of nature, but rather that built into certain times, places, objects, is the ability to do wonderous things under the right conditions. Therefore, you need exactly the right rock.
But it's apparently not so simple, because there is a beautiful torah of the Ishbitzer that teaches us the maskana. He writes that Hashem's denying Moshe the right to enter Eretz Yisrael was not really a punishment, but was a midah k'neged midah that fit the crime. Based on how history should unfold, based on the the "seder" of how events should happen, it could only be Yehoshua who could lead Klal Yisrael into Eretz Yisrael. So how could Moshe even have a hava amina to ask Hashem that he should take the people into the land? Because, says the Ishbitzer, Moshe Rabeinu said to Hashem once you are making miracles, once you are doing wonderous things beyond the seder of nature so that Klal Yisrael can conquer the land, does it really have to only be Yehoshua? Once you throw seder out the window and are doing miracles, can't you let me, Moshe, lead the people even if that too is beyond the normal seder of what should be?
"Dear Moshe Rabeinu," says Hashem, "Hamin ha'sela ha'zeh?" Remember how you responded to my people when they said asked you why you needed a specific rock -- once you throw seder out the window and rely on miracles, can't Hashem just do anything with any rock? How those words come back to haunt!
Sure, there are laws that govern nature. There are even laws and a seder to miracles. But it's not these laws themselves which are obstacles -- it's the belief that there is nothing higher than those laws that boxes a person in. You can spend a lifetime searching for just the right rock, the right yeshiva, the right neighborhood, the right shul, thinking only that rock and that rock only will bring mayim chaim into your life. If that's really what you think, than Hashem will respond accordingly and you won't find bracha till you somehow find that rock. But once you believe water can come from a rock, once you believe that the life of a Jew is a wonderous miracle anyway, why not believe that it's not the rock that matters, but it's the belief in the One who provides the water? Then, anything is possible.

© 2006 by Nick B. Nicholaou, all rights reserved President, Ministry Business Services, Inc. Submitted to Leadership Handbooks of Practical Theology
Calculating a tithe for employees is easy because they receive a paycheck. Doing so for business owners is more difficult because there are so many organization models, income sources, and accounting system standards. The result has been that business owners are left to themselves to identify their own methods for calculating a tithe. I hope this attempt at identifying factors for business owners to consider is the beginning of a discussion that helps many to do what our Lord challenged us to in Malachi 3:10-12:
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not cast their fruit," says the LORD Almighty. "Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land," says the LORD Almighty. (NIV)
Over-Arching Considerations
As business owners, we wrestled through these issues and found ourselves having to work through a number of challenges.
- If the IRS limits how much a business can write off of its contributions (10% of net profit for corporations, 50% of adjusted gross income for unincorporated businesses), should that be our guideline? While this definitely impacts us, we asked ourselves what we would do if we lived in a country that offered no tax incentives at all. The answer we came to was that we would honor God with our tithe regardless of any tax considerations. Working through that one issue framed how we approached everything else.
- Should we tithe before or after taxes are paid? It seems clear in the Scriptures that we are to tithe based on pre-tax amounts. Leviticus 27:30-33a says: 'A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD. If a man redeems any of his tithe, he must add a fifth of the value to it. The entire tithe of the herd and flock — every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd's rod— will be holy to the LORD. He must not pick out the good from the bad or make any substitution.'" (NIV)
This was told to those in an agricultural economy, and there are adjustments we need to make as we apply the principal in today's economy. But what it does not say is to tithe what's left from all that your fields produce each year after you've paid your taxes.
- How obligated should we feel to tithe? 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 says: Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. (NIV) Rather than seeing our tithe as a bill to pay, we approach it cheerfully as a privilege. In fact, giving to our church is my favorite part of worship because it is my tangible offering to our loving and gracious Lord.
Calculating a Business' Tithe
Many business owners want their business to be a "tithing business". The best "first fruits" model (calculating based on gross earnings) is to have the business tithe 10% of its book net income before taxes. This calculation should include all forms of income.
- Sole-Proprietorship. Sole proprietors might think they should use their Schedule C net profit / loss (line #31) as their tithing basis. However, the amount on this line can be reduced by some tax incentives in a way that it is no longer "first fruits".
- Partnership. A majority of partners must agree on being a tithing business. If they don't, individual partners should base their business tithe on their K1's total of lines 1-11 in Part III.
- S-Corporation. A majority of shareholders must agree on being a tithing business. If they don't, individual shareholders should base their business tithe on their K1's total of lines 1-10 in Part III.
- C-Corporations. A majority of shareholders must agree on being a tithing business.
- Accrual Basis Accounting. Accrual basis accounting refers to when income and expenses are booked. Since this method recognizes both income and expenses when they're incurred, the tithe should still be based on the book net income.
Calculating a Business Owner's Personal Tithe
A business owner should personally tithe 10% of his/her income from all sources before taxes. This includes all types of income received from the business (paychecks, rents, interest, leases, etc) and other sources. Excluded from this calculation are any investments that have changed value— up or down— but have not yet been realized.
Business owners are cautioned from approaching the tithe like a tax. U.S. tax regulations allow many expenses that are really personal expenses to be paid by the business. When considering the spirit and intent of God's challenge to tithe, however, these expenses must be backed out to arrive at an appropriate "first fruits" amount.
The goal is not to live by a strict rule, but rather to live a life reflecting the generosity we received from our Lord. He challenges us to tithe and live generously towards his works. These guidelines will help in working through the issues, establishing a starting point, and living the generous lives we intend.

It is more than a little ironic that The History Channel's website about its new show "Digging for the Truth" starts with the phrase, "Indiana Jones, watch out!"
I mean, have you seen how the host dresses? Like Indy if Indy shopped at Nordstroms. And if Nordstroms sold fedoras. Which they might, but I don't shop there so what do I know?

The 2012 Washington Nationals just will not go down without a fight. After losing the lead on a blown save in the ninth and twice being one out from defeat, the Nats beat the Mets 5-4 on a wild pitch by Pedro Beato that brought Ryan Zimmerman home for the walk-off win.
The victory was their second of the season on a game-ending wild pitch, but given the lead changes it may have been their most exciting win all year.
Thats my kind of ballgame, manager Davey Johnson said. Ive said it a hundred times, the makeup on this ballclub is off the charts. Theres no give-up, they are all competitive.
The Nats rallied to tie the game in the tenth after catcher Jhonatan Solano led off with a single. Bryce Harper then belted a 1-0 slider off Tim Byrdak, a line drive that flew over Scott Hairstons head and bounced off the wall. Solano scored to make it 4-4 and Harper broke up a David Wright tag attempt on a head-first slide to land safely at third.
The Mets then intentionally walked Zimmerman and Ian Desmond to get Tyler Moore to the plate. Moore took the wild pitch on a 1-2 count against Beato to let Zimmerman come home.
I'm trying to make him hurry up, tell him come on and score, Moore said. It was going on long enough. I'm just glad we got a run across.
I didn't know it got away at first because he was kind of blocking me with the angle but it hit the dirt pretty hard and it bounced up on him. I'm just glad it got away from him enough where we could score.
Moore hit a solo home run in the fifth inning to put the Nats up 1-0, his fifth of the season. He is just 25 years old and in his first big league season, one of the youngest players along with Harper, 19, who had the game-tying hit. 23-year-old Steve Lombardozzi also had a big hit in giving the Nats a two-run led in the eighth with an RBI single, along with some key defensive plays at second base.
The trio of young players once again played a role in a Nats victory and their manager has taken notice.
They have been doing it all year, Johnson said. Tyler Moore and Lombardozzi, it is a tribute to the organization. They got some really smart people out there, really signing good athletes with good makeup. Theyve been doing it every year since Ive been here and theres more coming.
The Nationals also saw a great performance from their young pitcher in 26-year-old Ross Detwiler. Detwiler pitched seven scoreless innings and would have been the story of the game if it werent for a few late mistakes by the bullpen. Detwiler finished with zero earned runs, five hits, no walks, and four strikeouts. He left the game with only 86 pitches and would have liked to stay in for the eighth.
I think Johnson knows that. I know what hes doing there. I kind of struggled my last couple outings and he wants me to get out of there with a chance to get the victory," Detwiler said. "But I thought I had a little more in the tank, but what is it, 112 here today?
It was actually 99 degrees when Detwiler threw the first pitch, but the seven innings he lasted was the most he has pitched in a game all year. He has pitched at least seven just three times in his career with a career high of 7.1 innings in 2011. All in all it was the best outing of Detwilers season and that is saying something. He now sits with a 3.15 ERA through 85.2 innings this year, pretty good for a fifth starter.
The shame of the game is that Det played a great game. That was an unbelievable game, I mean eleven days off and seven strong innings, Johnson said. He just really pitched great. He had great stuff, his fastball was just diving and moving. It was just a great effort, its a shame we wasted it for him.
Detwiler left after seven with a one-run lead and a shutout going. Sean Burnett took care of business in the eighth, but Tyler Clippard struggled and blew the save in the ninth. He gave the Mets a lead on a three-run homer by a pinch-hitting Jordany Valdespin. Danny Espinosa then tied the game for the Nationals in the bottom of the inning with an RBI single to score Ian Desmond.
Michael Gonzalez started the tenth and gave up a leadoff single to Daniel Murphy. Murphy was advanced to second on a Kirk Nieuwenhuis sacrifice bunt and then scored home on a double by Josh Thole.
The Nationals moved to 52-36 on the season, sixteen games above .500 on July 17 for the first time since moving to Washington. With the Braves recent hot streak, the Nats will have to make close games like this one count if they want to hold on and win the division.
Thats what first-place teams do. They find a way to win every game possible. This is a big month for us, playing the Marlins, Mets and Braves coming in next, Detwiler said. We just need to go out there and do the best we can to win every game.

The latest group of people Boston Borough Council wants to speak to as part of its littering campaign includes four accused of urinating in public places.
The council is asking for the public's help to identify a total of six men, all observed via its network of CCTV cameras.
Four of the men are alleged to have urinated in areas of the town centre – three at night or in the early hours of the morning and one in the middle of the day near the Len Medlock Centre, close to the town bus station.
The other two are said to have discarded cigarette ends in the town.
Those caught deliberately dropping litter by the council's network of 68 CCTV cameras will be pursued and issued with a £75 fixed penalty notice or be taken to court.
The campaign will also extend to cover those who do not clean up after their dogs.
As well as urination and cigarette ends being thrown to the ground, litter also includes defecation and spitting in the street.
Each month the council asks for the public's help in identifying any of the people who the authority's environmental crime enforcement officers want to speak with in connection with such alleged incidents.
All information received will be confidential and the identities of those who pass on information will never be revealed, the council says.
If you can help identify any of these people, and wish to support the council in its campaign, call the authority on 01205 314200 and ask for the environmental enforcement team.
Alternatively, write to Litter campaign, Environmental Enforcement Team, Boston Borough Council, Municipal Buildings, West Street, Boston, PE21 8QR or email communicationsunit@ boston.gov.uk

An increasingly larger share of homes in the foreclosure process have positive equity.
This baffling tidbit from RealtyTrac turns on its head the most common reason behind foreclosures in recent years. When the housing market soured and home prices plunged, many people ended up "underwater" – meaning they owed more on their mortgages than their homes were worth and therefore could not refinance or sell their properties if they faced financial difficulties.
But what's with the homes that are not underwater yet still in foreclosure? The share of foreclosures with positive equity in the first quarter reached 35 percent, up from 31 percent in the previous quarter and 24 percent in the third quarter of 2013, according to RealtyTrac, a mortgage research firm. These involve borrowers who have defaulted on their loans or are in some other stage of the foreclosure process but their homes have not been taken over by the banks.
The metro markets with the most positive equity foreclosures are: Denver (64 percent), Boston (58 percent), Minneapolis (58 percent), Houston (54 percent) and Washington, D.C. (52 percent.)
The reason behind the phenomenon may have everything to do with timing. Once a foreclosure is initiated, it can take a year or even multiple years to complete the process, depending on the state. A lot can happen to prices in that time. Consider that home values have seen spectacular gains in the past two years.
"It could be that when they first entered into foreclosure they may not have had equity in the home," said Daren Blomquist, vice president at RealtyTrac. "But in the past year, as home prices have risen dramatically, some have regained their equity even though they're still in the foreclosure process. We're hearing from real estate agents that this is what's happened to a lot of these people."
Some folks may not even know it, in part because they've moved out and aren't keeping tabs on the home or its value anymore. A high percentage of all homes in foreclosure are vacant, but RealtyTrac has not cross-referenced to see how many of the vacant ones have positive equity.
Paying attention to home values can make all the difference. In some cases, borrowers may be able to hang onto their homes by refinancing. But the more likely outcome is that they'd escape foreclosure, sell their homes the traditional way and save their credit, Blomquist said.
Still, while some people have seen their home values soar and lift them into positive equity, about 9.3 million homes, representing 19 percent of all properties with a mortgage, were seriously underwater in the fourth quarter. Here's RealTrac's breakdown of states with the highest percentage of seriously underwater properties:

Students of all levels including competitive examinations have to deal with figuring out if a number is divisible by another number or not. Doing the actual division to check the divisibility can be quite complicated and tiresome. Hence the students need to know the divisibility rules for such numbers. In the post below and subsequent posts (links given in this post) I've tried to give you a strong understanding of divisibility rules for various commonly required numbers. If you copy the below mentioned divisibility rules in a word doc and take a print out, it can act as a divisibility rules worksheet.
What are the divisibility rules?
Here we will take up one number at a time. First the rule of divisibility will be given, which will be followed by an example to illustrate the rule.
Divisibility by 2: If its unit digit is any of 0,2,4,6,8.
Ex : 100 is divisible by 2 while 101 is not.
Divisibility by 3: If the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
Ex: 309 is divisible by 3, since sum of its digits = (3+0+9) = 12 , which is divisible by 3.
Divisibility by 4: If the number formed by the last two digits is divisible by 4
Ex: 2648 is divisible by 4, since the number formed by the last two digits is 48 which is divisible by 4.
Divisibility by 5: If its units digit is either 0 or 5.
Ex: 20825 and 50545 are divisible by 5.
Divisibility by 6: If it is divisible by both 2 & 3.
Ex: 53256 is divisible by 6 because it is divisible by 2 as well as 3.
Divisibility by 7: If after subtraction of a number consisting of the last three digits from a number consisting of the rest of its digits the result is a number that can be divided by 7 evenly
Ex.: 414141 is divisible 7 as 414-141= 273 is divisible by 7
Many different ways to test divisibility by seven have been devised. Some are long and complex, a few involve rewriting the digits, and one even consists of a grid-like box. We have chosen one of the more simplistic versions even though in almost every case it is quicker to merely perform long division.
Divisibility by 8: If the last three digits of the number are divisible by 8.
Ex: 3652736 is divisible by 8 because last three digits (736) is divisible by 8.
Divisibility by 9: If the sum of its digit is divisible by 9.
Ex: 672381 is divisible by 9, since sum of digits = (6+7+2+3+8+1) = 27 is divisible by 9.
Divisibility by 10: If the digit at unit place is 0 it is divisible by10.
Ex: 69410, 10840 is divisible by 10.
Divisibility by 11: If the difference of the sum of its digits at odd places and sum of its digits at even places, is either 0 or a number divisible by 11.
Ex: 4832718 is divisible by 11, since:
(Sum of digits at odd places) – (sum of digits at even places)
= (8+7+3+4)-(1+2+8) = 11
Divisibility by 12: A number is divisible by 12 if it is divisible by both 4 and 3.
Ex: 34632
(i) The number formed by last two digits is 32, which is divisible by 4
(ii) Sum of digits = (3+4+6+2) = 18, which is divisible by 3.
Divisibility by 13: Remove the last digit of a number. Multiply it by 4 and add it to the remaining truncated number. Â Continue doing these steps until you reach a 2 digit number. If the result is divisible by 13, then so was the first number.
Example: 113945–>11394+20=11414–>1141+16=1157–>115+28=143 (since this number is divisible by 13, you can say 113945 is also divisible by 13)
You can go a step forward
14 + 12 = 26 is 2*13, so 113945 is divisible by 13.
Divisibility by 14: If a number is divisible by 2 as well as 7.
Divisibility by 15: If a number is divisible by both 3 & 5.
Divisibility by 16: If the number formed by the last 4 digits is divisible by 16.
Ex: 7957536 is divisible by 16, since the number formed by the last four digits is 7536, which is divisible by 16.
Divisibility by 24: If a number is divisible by both 3 & 8.
Divisibility by 40: If it is divisible by both 5 & 8.
Divisibility by 80: If a number is divisible by both 5 & 16.
I've seen people having trouble with finding the divisibility by little complicated numbers like 7, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43 and 47. In another post I've explained the divisibility rules for such complicated numbers

The British/Spanish band, Crystal Fighters have been making infectious dance music with a slight twist since 2007. Their new album, "Cave Rave" was released last month and has been garnering strong reviews as well as pulling in great crowds for their exuberant shows.
I caught them earlier this month at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles where their new album was recorded and was totally blown away by their energy from the second they took the stage. Playing songs from their new album as well as many of their classics like, "Plage" and "Champion Sound", the place was a non-stop dance party.
The band is currently on tour in Europe so if you happen to be out there, check out their tour dates here and be ready to dance your ass off. On August 29th, the band will also be doing a very special "Cave Rave" in a cave outside Pamplona, Navarre, Spain where the band was formed. Check out their latest video for the single, "You & I" and be sure to grab their new album, "Cave Rave".

Two Southern Garrett High School students were chosen as the RAM (Random Acts of Maturity) Students of the Month for second term.
November's RAM student, freshman Terry Tasker, was nominated by his JROTC instructor Verle Wright for displaying citizenship through a number of projects that JROTC conducted in the community. "Terry volunteered to go to Southern Middle School and teach the 7th grade classes how to respect, care for and fold the U.S. Flag," Wright said. "He also was instrumental in making our Veterans Recognition ceremony a success, and showed support for Veterans by volunteering to march in the Oakland Veterans Day Parade on very cold Saturday morning."
The December RAM, senior Nicholas Glotfelty, was also nominated by Wright for displaying caring and giving. "Nick wanted to help the Marine Corps Toys for Tots drive and is bringing in a box for JROTC students to donate gifts for the drive. He is collecting the gifts and will deliver them to Toys for Tots," Wright said.
The RAM students were awarded $20 gift cards to Uno's Restaurant and Grill, the sponsor of the RAM Student of the Month program.

I walked into the bathroom this evening, about to step into the shower after this evening's trip to the gym, and what did I find (or not find)? The scale. Ross has hidden it. I think that's a pretty strong message. I have very strong OCD tendencies and they have all been chanelled into weighing myself 5,436 times a day. Ross knows this and knew that extreme measures had to be taken. So, it's gone. I can't find it. Believe me, I looked. But as he said, "We don't need that anymore." We know we're doing the right things and that should be enough encouragement.
So, here's the plan: I'm giving myself a break. I'm still going to exercise and I'm still going to eat what I'm supposed to eat. But, the days of torturing myself over what the scale says have come to an end. Weighing will only happen at the gym. I'm going to try to do it just once a week. It's going to be very hard, but this needs to happen for my sanity.
I'm sure there will be days when it will be very hard to resist the urge to fold myself into the food scales at Kroger, but those will pass. It took two years to get where I am, so it's going to take some time to get where I want to be. I just need to accept that, get over it, and stop making my husband worry.

1. The brie souffle was a big hit. Sergi & Pilar inhaled it! But really, who can't love brie, eggs, bread, and milk? Next we tackle banana bread and cheese bread.
2. This band is my newest crush --> Sin Fang Bous. Check out the song The Jubilee Choruses.
3. I've felt extra inspired as of late and full of fun artsy ideas. Which, I'm loving.
4. Friday night was ridiculously fun...we woke up and wandered across the street in pjs to drink coffee and eat croissants and then went back to Liz's apartment to make omelets and potatoes. Que rico chico!
5. Liz is going to teach me how to use some of her awesome design programs so I can finally work on some print material for Something Sunny. Which, btw is still going slow and steady.
6. I am so behind on work...
Much love.

Little Cositas/Pequeñas Things

Good Things and Bikes!
So many good things!
1. I made pesto pasta for my host family. My host mother didn't eat any of it, but after Sergio (the pickiest person in the world) started raving about it she cautiously tried some and it was a hit!
2. I am making brie souffle on Friday for them. Fingers crossed they like it.
3. I have fallen into a rhythm of cycling classes. I go five days a week before classes start. I leave feeling accomplished and start my day. But today was a little different because for the first time in maybe...8 years I rode a real bike. Yeah, it's been that long...
"Bicing" is a public transportation program for Barcelona residents that allows you to take a bike from the station and return it to any one of the hundreds of stations in the city in 30 minutes. So nervously I grabbed a bike and off I went.
I loved it! It did take a little while for me to get the hang of it again and what with pedestrians running around, and cars, and traffic well it's no great wonder how I accidentally bumped a woman with my handle bars...opps! I shouted "Pardon!" as I rode by. It takes me just over 30 minutes to get to school and when I got home I dropped off my things and went and bought a helmet. No one here wears helmets... so yeah, I look a little stupid but hey, I value my brain and I'd like to keep it intact!
Happy Wednesday!

Sergio got back from his 22 day trip to Thailand. We went through his 523 pictures together tonight and then I installed skype on his computer. It was a pretty low key Saturday night. I also bought the book Three Cups of Tea in Spanish and some ice cream bars that turned out to be awful. Oh well, you win some, you lose some.
Köszönöm Threadless!
So I thought Threadless (the tee shirt company) would appreciate my glow in the dark story. They wrote back last night saying they were glad I made such a 'memorable and glowtastic first impression on your classmates'. Oh and they also gave me a 5$ coupon for a tee shirt! WHOOOO! I think I might go with this one:
Ps: I went to a delicious Hungarian dinner last night where they made a hearty stew of potatoes, peppers, sausage, and onions. Add a dollop of sour cream, bread, sangria, and this yummy crumbly dessert that you eat with jam...and OH MY GOODNESS I was very full. It was also very easy to make and (the best part) CHEAP! So family, get ready for some new authentic Hungarian recipes. I also learned a few Hungarian words like Szia & köszönöm (Hello & Thank you!)
Pss: I have so much work to do this weekend....ah!

Glow in the Dark
Today is my first day of art classes at the University of Barcelona. Pilar forgot to turn her alarm off and at 5:30am it kept beeping and beeping and beeeeeeeeping.
Eventually it really was time to get up and I got ready and left for Photography I. When I found the class I thought it was odd that no one was milling about the halls. In fact, I didn't see any students anywhere! So thinking I was somehow late I quickly, without thinking, opened up the room to a pitch black classroom. The Professor was up at the podium with a powerpoint and I couldn't see anything. BLACKNESS.
I walked in. I heard rustling, which told me students were in fact in the room, and a bunch of people started laughing at me and murmuring.
I was wearing my Threadless tee which was glow in the dark and monsters and floating eyeballs suddenly became visible. On dear God. So the floating eyeballs made their way, stumbling, to the nearest desk where I proceeded to, in the pitch black, sit on some girls art work.
Then three minutes later the professor said, "Ok see you next time." I wasn't late...I was early. There were two back to back photography classes.
At least everyone got to see my tee shirt in all its glory...
It's lunch time now and then I'm off to Sculpture II!

Ash Wednesday
So it's starting to hit me guys, I have exactly three short months here left! I am feeling increased anxiety to speak as much Spanish, read as much Spanish, and learn as much Spanish as I possibly can in, sadly, my last semester here. I even spoke Spanish in my dream last night. I think it had something to do with the play, Luces de Bohemia, that I was reading late last night.
So drum roll in a desperate attempt to cram as much into this experience as possible I am suspending my Atheist beliefs and jumping on the bandwagon for Lent. How will this help me in my goal?
I am giving up English for Lent. I am only permitting myself to speak to people in English that do not speak Spanish, ie: Family and friends on skype.
Wish me luck! (I think I'll need it)
Ps: The photo above was taken Ash Wednesday five years ago at my Catholic all girls school. Oh the memories...

New Year's Resolution Update
So my New Year's Resolution this year was to read a book every week for the year. Now, I haven't been keeping close tabs on the weeks and the books BUT I have been reading a lot of awesome books and I'm ready to share them!
Book 1: The Gursney Literary Potato Peel Society
Book 2: A fabulous bread recipe book (that I can't currently remember the name to!) that although I know isn't a traditional novel is still a book! I make 8 different types of bread out of the book and a total of 13 loaves. The family favorites where Cheesy Bread, Monkey Bread, and English Muffin Bread. Mom complained that she had gained 2 pounds off all the bread I was baking.
Book 3: The Good Earth I loved this book. It's a story of a farming family in pre revolutionary China and the tale follows a man as he loses everything and gains it all back again and more. It's a beautiful book that discussed the relationships of man and Earth along with woman and society.
Book 4: Bird by Bird I really didn't like this one. It's basically tips written in novel form of how to become a writer and expand on the creativity that exists within all of us. BLAH!
Book 5: The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio: How My Mom Raised 10 Kids on 25 Words or Less I LOVED this book. It's a true story about a mother living with an alcoholic and abusive husband and ten children in the 1950's. They are poor but they are far from unhappy. It's a wonderful book about a mother's devotion to her children and determination to make the best of everything. She supplements the families very small income by entering her jingles in competitions and as luck would have it she was quite good at it. The ending left me teary eyed and emotional.
Book 6: 1000 White Women. A fictional story in which President Grant makes a secret agreement with a Cheyenne indian tribe to trade 1000 white women brides for 1000 horses in an effort to better unite and civilize the indian race. The book is written from the intelligent and witty perspective of May Dodd, who in attempt to escape a horrible life back home volunteers for the program. Her husband is the head of the tribe and her accounts of indian life and the wilderness are quite fantastic. I also cried at the end of this one...
Book 7: The Devil in the White City I just started last night but I already like where it's going. It's a, "spellbinding bestseller that intertwines the true tale of two men" a brilliant architect who designed the Chicago World's Fair and a serial killer who uses the fair to kill his victims. Sounds exciting!
Ps: It's freezing today! And Pilar made leek soup. YUM!

Letur, Spain
This past weekend I was invited by Spanish friend, Nuria, to visit her grandparents village in Castilla de la Mancha, Don Quiote's birthplace. The picturesque little village has a population of 500 and is known for its almond orchards and olive oil. I felt as if I had stepped back in time 80 years. These people had preserved a way of life that not many have a chance to see much less experience and I felt honored and thrilled to have been part of it, even if only for a weekend.
My tour through town revealed the Roman aqueducts that snaked all through the small village and were still in use. Everywhere we walked you could hear the gurgling water.
The town center was the Plaza de Torros where they have the bull fights. It was less a plaza and more a flooded grassy field where we found a donkey tied up and grazing.
Following that trend the swimming pool was more a pond than anything. There was a smooth tree that spanned the length of the pond. In the summer they spread soap over it and make it slippery and have contests to try and get all the way across. The few that do receive a jar of jam for their accomplishments.
My favorite part of town though had to be the 'Mirador'. We walked up these stairs to the towns vantage point. There, stretched in front of me was one of the most fantastic, incredible, expansive views. Pictures don't do it justice, but I really tried guys.
Later that day the celebration started which meant good food and a lot of drinking.
So after eating so much I thought I would burst I sat back and happily watched her family argue, yell over each other, laugh, and tell stories. No one got up from the table until 6:30pm. I realized this weekend even more how much the Spanish value their family above all else. They think it's crazy that Americans would move away from home for a job. To them that is pretty unheard of. Or to go away to school for that matter.
There are more stories to come and for more pictures of this awesome weekend check out my flickr account!

Special Persons are People, Too is a literary hub where everyone is welcome to interact with persons with congenital physical deformities or defects, give advice, offer opportunities, or just simply to give support and show they care.
Being provided a fantastic site you can call your own is simply irresistible. Best of all, you can do whatever you want with it (for as long as you don't go over the boundaries). It's like winning the lottery; a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you feel you have to really take care of and make the best of.
Thanks to the kindness of all the staff at wordpress.com and the community and other outfits that support them. Words can never suffice to show our gratefulness for these selfless people. Without them, Special Persons are People, Too could not have come into existence.
People like me-bloggers, authors/writers, companies, associations, and other organizations geared towards sharing and community interaction to foster goodwill among those who believe they can make a difference, now have a great avenue where they can impart insights and other important stuff to the world. It's simply awesome!
Here, we hope to discuss about, and share experiences of, people who have physical deformities- their adversities, exploits, and most of all, their TRIUMPHS over their misfortunes.
Also, we will be posting about Bacolod City as a gateway to extend a glimpse about where we hail from, and we hope to feature articles about individual persons, entire organizations, government agencies, and other professionals somehow akin to our city and our advocacy.
We're a newbie in this endeavor, and whatever help we can get, we would appreciate it very much. Kindly feel free to contact us for any suggestions, literary contributions, advice and other relevant things we need (like topics, articles, or links that can further help us improve).

Lots of people all over the world are puzzled with a question, how to play online with minimal risk? Is there any proven instruction or a to-do list? Unfortunately, the algorithm has not been worked out yet, but you can use these smart and easy tips to keep scammers away and increase your chances for victory.
Check your equipment
Examine your PC or your smartphone. Stop all the downloads and check if there are any unknown applications running. Do it every time before you start playing. The thing is that the downloads will slow down the work of the website you will play at and that could lead to certain glitches. Malwares can be really dangerous, up to the fact that some of them can transfer your payouts to a thief's account.
Pick a proven platform
Choose solid and old virtual playrooms with impressive lists of regular players. Look for the highest rates and the fastest payouts. Pay special attention for the bonus programs provided. You can check the best Australia online casinos list for more detail.
Be careful with personal data
Do not give your credentials, details of your bank account and your actual location. Remember that scammers are everywhere. If too much information is demanded to start playing at the chosen casino, you should better leave it. Protect your proxy and IP. If you are using a smartphone, protect your VPN with one of the popular apps. It will not take much space but will surely help you avoid certain dangers.
Do not play for free
Surely, you can enjoy those casino games and apps that are offering you some stunning simulators and do not promise you a real cash win. If you see an offer of a six-figure jackpot game for free, you should realize that no casino would operate at a loss. The jackpot score should be based on the amount of cash players spend to hit it. So, if it is stated as 'free', be sure to pay a fortune after you finish playing. Gamers sometimes receive impressive bills afterwards and have to pay them.
Control your expenses
Keep an eye on your balance because being overly excited, you can lose more than you wanted first. Casino games are made to keep us in tension, and we do not notice how fast we pour all our money down the drain. It would be great to fix the expense for the night you are going to play. Some banks offer that service. Experienced players keep an eye on their balance during the game, and if certain sum is lost, they stop playing. And come over at least a day after. But, do you share that strong self-control?
We hope these tips will make your life easier. Enjoy the best casino games online without any risk to meet scammers and lose your money. Do not forget to double-check every app and software you use. May the luck always follow you.

20 year old Nigerian forward Friday Fred who plays for Lillestroem has taken Norway's Eliteserien league by storm this season with six goals to his name from the first seven games of the season.
Fred scored 11 goals last season from 26 games but after just 7 games this season he is just 5 goals away from equaling his last season total.
He has scored in the last five consecutive games he has played and so far this season he only failed to score in just two games against Bodo/ Glimt and Start.
Still searching for his first hattrick of the season he has however scored a brace this season for sixth placed Lillestroem, a feat he achieved in the game against Sarpsborg.
On a personal note has opened a two goal lead against his closest challenger for the top scorer award, Deshorn Brown of Valerenga and going by his current goal scoring rate he could end up scoring twice the amount of goals he scored last season.

Adele's '21' Tops Best-Selling Albums of 2012 List [VIDEO]
For the second year in a row Adele's '21' has been named the number one selling album of 2012 in the United States.
Nielsen SoundScan released the yearly report on Thursday. Adele's album is an inspiring collection of heartbreak likely based on the 24-year-old Grammy-winning singer's own love life. It featured hit singles "Rolling In The Deep," "Set Fire To The Rain" and "Someone Like You."
Life has certainly gotten better for Adele, who moved on, started a relationship, and even welcomed her first child, a boy, in October.
Meanwhile, here is how the rest of the list shapes up:
2. Taylor Swift's "Red" sold 3.11 million units.
3. One Direction's debut album "Up All Night" sold 1.62 million units.
4. Mumford & Sons' "Babel" album sold 1.46 million units -- the largest number for a rock group in 2012, according to Billboard.
5. One Direction also ranks fifth with the boy band's second album, "Take Me Home," which sold 1.34 million units.
6. Justin Bieber's album "Believe" sold 1.34 million units.
7. Carrie Underwood's "Blown Away" album sold 1.20 million units.
8. Luke Bryan's "Tailgates & Tanlines" sold 1.10 million units.

Alan Rogers Review
This is a quiet, urban site in the Hautes-Alpes region. Surrounded by imposing mountains and with a rural ambience, the 100 large, spacious pitches are all for touring. There is good shade and all the pitches have water, 6A electricity, drainage and sewage disposal. The Dutch owners have created a unique mixture of activities. In high season, one can explore the grandeur of the area and enjoy activities on site including musical evenings, jazz groups and community barbecues. The pretty Roman historical town of Embrun with its 12th-century cathedral is well worth a visit and the modern bustling town of Gap is only 20 km. away.
The owners try to ensue that all their visitors are able to enjoy whatever suits their individual needs for a successful holiday and are always available to offer advice and information. Special mention must be made of the restaurant in the old farm buildings. The food can only be described as excellent – book early!

3 (14.5 oz) cans cut green beans, drained

A New Way for Kids to Eat Their Vegetables
This one is specifically aimed at the parents out there who have a difficult time convincing their littles to consume anything green. A friend of mine made this recipe for me last night and I scolded her for not making more. It's ridiculously easy and I can almost guarantee it will get your kids (and my BFF) to eat their green beans.
It's also a great dish to make when you're busy in the kitchen, maybe preparing chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. Let's face it, you can only tend to so many pans at once. This one doesn't need tending. In fact, the less attention it gets, the better. If you stir it too often, your beans will fall apart completely and you'll end up with very tasty mush. The only reason you stir it is to get it to caramelize somewhat evenly.
This concoction is very much a southern dish. It's fried in a skillet and utilizes bacon grease, so it may not be an every week staple as is. My brain is already hacking at this recipe to make it more healthy and keeping it kid friendly, so I bet I'll have an alternative that you can serve guilt-free on a regular basis.
Meanwhile, however much you think you need when you make it . . . double that. We had five cans of beans collecting dust in the pantry, but didn't want to use them all up at once. Normally, three cans should be enough for six people, but we all wanted seconds and there was none to be had.
For now, however, I will stick to the recipe as it was given to me. Sorry, y'all! The beans didn't last long enough to take pictures.
Skillet Green Beans
4 slices (about 1/4 lb.) bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/4 to 1/2 medium-sized onion, chopped
3 (14.5 oz) cans cut green beans, drained
3 (14.5 oz) cans cut green beans, drained
4 T butter
up to 1/4 c sugar
salt and pepper to taste
Brown bacon and onions in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat then remove
Remove all but 1 Tbsp of the grease if you find it excessive (or leave it in, it's up to you)
Add beans
Drop butter on top and allow it to melt on its own
Stir occasionally, and gently, with a wooden spoon, while you tend to other things
When you're almost ready to take it off the stove, return bacon and onions to the pan, then add sugar, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine
Give it another few minutes to let the sugar caramelize
Do not panic if the edges of your beans or onions get dark; they should. However, if at any time, you fear they're getting away from you, or cooking too fast, reduce the heat. It's ready when everything else is. Just remove it from the stove, and serve.
This recipe is also budget friendly because canned green beans are often on sale. My local mom and pop grocery store has at least one brand on sale every week. That's probably why they ended up in my pantry. (I've never been a big fan of canned veggies.)
If onions are a deal breaker for your kids, then leave them out or use onion powder instead. That will give you that sweet, oniony flavor and the kids won't see it.
Rest assured, I will be playing with this in the near future and figuring out a way to make it a bit more healthy without skimping on the flavor. We could probably start by switching out the sugar for honey or agave nectar. In fact, I bet honey would taste even better than the yumminess I tasted last night.
Happy Cooking!

Thanks for the recipe! Only 2 out of my 4 likes green beans and this looks like a really easy and yummy veggie dish. I'm doubling it right away because we are a hungry family of 6. :) With the exception of butter, I'm glad it is also food allergy friendly. Good thing we have our dairy and soy free butter substitute on hand. :) Cheers to more veggies!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hey Roz! Thank you for stopping by. The easy soy free, dairy free alternative would be EVOO, but since we had butter, why not? When I was at the store today, I almost bought more beans just to experiment with. Instead, I chose to hold back and lay off the extra fats for a few days. I may try this with Brussels sprouts (my favorite veg).Delete
