"Uniting Christian & Jewish Clergy from Around the World"
The year 2013 ushered in three milestones. Tomorrow my bride Karen and I will celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. By all accounts our marriage should have ended in divorce. Karen was diagnosed in 1985 with Multiple Sclerosis and loss the use of her legs. Bankruptcy due to staggering medical bills, the loss of our home, life saving, Karen almost dying from a severe case of Mersa. The stress of working two jobs and having the primary responsibility raising our daughter did not allow much time for R & R. Most years we did not take vacations and we lived very frugal lives. Being a pastor brings other challenges and stresses. Karen has lived in a nursing home for the past two and a half years.
These are just a few of the challenges we have faced over the last 40 years. However, by the Grace of God our marriage is strong. Satan tried to destroy it but God had other plans. I Praise God for each day we spend together. The second milestone is my 50th year as a Christian. I was saved in 1963 at the age of ten. The third milestone I was born in 1953 and celebrated my 60th birthday. These three milestones make a nice mathematical sequence, 40/50/60. God has blessed our family beyond anything we could imagine. Despite the many challenges and apparent set backs God proved Himself faithful in the midst of our struggles and we were purified in the fire of adversity. If we did not make God our number one priority these important milestones would not have been realized! Thank you Jesus for allowing us another day. It is a honor to be your child and serve you. We don't know "what" the future holds but we do know who "holds" the future!

The Devil Will Come
Twenty-one stories that will scare you to death.
You may or may not believe in the old gentleman known variously as Lucifer, the Prince of Darkness, Satan, or simply the devil – but it is impossible to deny the existence of evil in the world. And all those arguments about whether evil originates in the fires of Hades or in the smoldering heart of humankind don't change the fact that evil has always been with us – and, most likely, always will be.
The stories you are about to read are about evil, in one form or another. Several of them give evil a supernatural origin, but others place it squarely in the lap of ordinary (or maybe not so ordinary) human beings. Some of the people you are about to meet will overcome the evil that confronts them, while others won't be quite so fortunate. Either way, all of them are going to be changed by the encounter.
These stories are best read late at night, preferably while you're alone in the house. I recommend leaving only a single light on. Try to use a reading lamp that illuminates the page while throwing the rest of the room into shadows – shadows where anything might be hiding.
Later, as you lie in the iron dark, waiting for sleep, perhaps you'll start to wonder if there really is a Devil, and if this is the night he might choose to come – for you.
I wish you pleasant dreams.
Well, no – not really.

The last night of Marillion weekend 2013 was a fact. I remember thinking when I arrived on Thursday, checking in to the hotel, that in a few days the entire weekend will be in the past. How strange it felt to have been looking forwards for so long and then to have barely blinked finding the weekend was over... The two previous nights were deeply emotional. And though I knew this night would involve my three absolute favorite songs, I decided just before Marillion came on stage: Tonight I'm gonna have fun. I'm gonna smile, I'm gonna laugh, I'm gonna take everything in and fill up with all the good feelings in the world. And I'm a pretty stubborn woman, so when I say something, that's usually the way it is :-)
This was the night of Sounds That Can't Be Made. And if you want an in depth analysis of Sounds That Can't Be Made, or STCBM as we call it, look to the right on this blog. It's one of my most popular entires, where I go in depth of my own emotions when hearing this wonderful and important album.
Steve Hogarth came on stage wearing a shirt with a big peace sign on it. And when singing their song, Gaza, the peace sign serves as a dichotomy to the theme of the song. Last night of the weekend had started...
1. Gaza - "Like a nightmare rose up on this small strip of land, slouching towards Bethlehem" It is hard to know how to write something here, because for too long this poor land suffered war and devastation. And taking the suffering of innocent people, children in particular, into consideration when hearing, and watching them perform this song, keeping my promise to myself of having only fun, became challenged. But that's ok. I can, along with being stubborn, change my mind in the blink of an eye...
2. Waiting To Happen - Something waiting to happen, I chose that these words cannot be the driving force behind my future endeavors, as they will continue to push the magnificent ahead of me, I need to make magic happen NOW!!! All the strange thoughts that enter my mind when in presence of true inspiration. WOW!
3. Lucky Man
4. This Strange Engine - One of my top three favorite song, and I can't rate it closer. Because one day this is at the top, another day it's Neverland, and another day it's Montréal... and even top three changes. But this will be at the top all the time, I think. TSE, as we abbreviate it... is just sheer Marillion magic. 18 minutes of blissful escape. And this performance was awesome!
5. Pour My Love
6. Montréal - I love the personal almost stream of consciousness feel in the lyrics of this song. Steve Hogarth is giving us a sneak peek into his mind, and many of my fellow Marillionaires didn't like this song because of the bluntness of the lyrics. But this song is a strike of genius, in my mind. Hearing it live just made me love the song even more. Definitely top three.
7. Invisible Ink
8. Power - The power of the song lifted the roof. This is an absolutely amazing song :-)
9. Sounds That Can't Be Made
10. The King Of Sunset Town
11. Sky Above The Rain - During the emotional brilliance of SATR we were covered in golden rain. The confetti just kept pouring and pouring and stuck to every piece of exposed sweaty skin... and it was just amazing :)
12. Neverland - The third top three song for me, all of them performed in one night, wow, I truly am a lucky woman :-) When ever I feel down, this song is therapy. And live they bring the deep sounds in the bass and the keyboards, making it completely shake the core of the audience. And the emotions is h's performance is enigmatic and sublime.
13. Garden Party - Ok, end the weekend with a BANG! This song is from the age of Fish, but the song became strangely irrelevant when the crazy part of Steve Hogarth decided to climb the balcony. Not an easy task... and he almost fell...The gasps from the crowds could be heard from London, I'm sure. He almost fell!!! But he didn't, and thank the good powers of the world, and quick thinking from the ones on the balcony grabbing him and dragging him over. And, just to prove a point, he bloody kept on singing!!! NOW THAT'S ROCK!!!
After the gig the lights were switched on and merry music made all of us just dance, and pick up the confetti and throw it in the air...reliving every dazzling moment. In the end it was to go, after photo sessions and hugs and tears, but the party wasn't over. Many of us ended up in the pub just next to the venue. All the thirsty Marillion fans just kept coming like a tidal wave of happy people, high on Marillion and brilliance. They played mostly Marillion, and we danced as if in a trance for hours...
A night to remember, also this in the bank of precious memories. Thank you to all the people who made the weekend possible. Thank you for the best memories of my life. Thank you to my friends. And Marillion, you remain the leaders of inspiration to me. You are AMAZING

Gyaltsen Norbu was shown on Chinese state television being eagerly greeted by monks.
Norbu was named 11th Panchen Lama, second to the Dalai Lama in Tibetan Buddhism, after officials rejected the exiled Dalai Lama's own choice.
In Lhasa on Sunday the 15-year-old performed a number of rituals.
After placing a ceremonial cloth around a large statue of the founder of Buddhism, Norbu presented monks with red ribbons.
It is his third visit to the Himalayan capital and one of a handful of public appearances.
'Missing' Panchen Lama
In 1995, the Dalai Lama had named Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, then aged 6, as the true reincarnation of the Panchen Lama.
Deputy mayor of Lhasa Xiao Bai said on Saturday Nyima is "in good health and leading a normal and happy life".
"He's a senior in high school and his grades are quite good, but to avoid disrupting his and his family's life we have allowed no outside groups to meet him."
Crucial role
The Panchen Lama decides who will become Tibet's next Dalai Lama after the death of the incumbent, who is now in his late sixties.
The Beijing-designated Panchen Lama is always surrounded by bodyguards when he goes out in public.
While in Lhasa, he met with Communist party officials and "200 representatives from all walks of life," the state Xinhua News Agency reported.
Taking control of Tibet in 1950, China has imposed communist rule in the mountain kingdom of 2.6 million inhabitants.
The Dalai Lama fled Tibet after a failed uprising against Chinese rule in 1959 and now lives in exile in India.

House GOP: Week 1 of the Leadership Races
Has it only been six days since Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Texas) announced that he would permanently step down as House majority leader? It seems like ages ago.
After hundreds of e-mails, dozens of phone calls and a few carefully dropped opposition research documents, The Fix offers up a summary of where things stand at the end of the week one of the House leadership scramble.
Majority Leader
Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.): The Missourian started the race as the favorite and has done nothing over the past week to forfeit that spot. Blunt has public commitments from 78 of his GOP colleagues, and he claims to have private commitments numbering more than 100. The truth is probably somewhere in between, and, if so, he has a lead over Boehner and Shadegg. One other important point: Blunt began the race with a major advantage given the fact that he had a full legislative whip team in place that could easily be ported over to a leadership contest.
Rep. John Boehner (Ohio): Boehner began the week on a strong note with the release of a 37-page mission statement documenting his views on how to return the party to its most basic principles. Boehner's public commitments number 40, though his allies claim he has more than 90 votes committed. The Shadegg candidacy should benefit Boehner, perhaps robbing Blunt of enough conservatives to force a second ballot. (If no candidate receives a simple majority of the GOP Conference on the first ballot, the lowest vote-getter is dropped and another round of balloting is held.)
Rep. John Shadegg (Arizona): For Shadegg to have a real chance at victory, he needs either Blunt or Boehner to stumble badly in the weeks before the Feb. 2 vote. That is not to say, however, that Shadegg isn't a major factor. As mentioned above, he makes a first-ballot win by Blunt a long shot, and he also makes it more difficult for Blunt to remain as majority whip even as he runs for leader -- in his announcement statement released this morning, Shadegg said he was giving up his Republican Policy Committee Chairmanship -- the fifth ranking leadership spot -- because "I personally believe it is not appropriate to try to retain one position in elected leadership while running for another." Ouch!
Majority Whip
Rep. Eric Cantor (Va.): Cantor is the strong favorite to claim the post if Blunt is elected majority leader. Although his assertion about having better than 140 Members committed seems a bit high, Cantor is well-liked in the conference and has done his homework in the past week to ensure he is the frontrunner. If Blunt loses the majority leader race and decides he wants to remain as whip, Cantor faces a major decision. Does he challenge the man who lifted him from obscurity or back down and wait for another day?
Rep. Mike Rogers (Mich.): Seeking to cement his image as the true reform choice in the leadership elections, Rogers released a detailed lobbying reform proposal this week aimed at eliminating a repeat of the ongoing scandal surrounding Jack Abramoff's influence-peddling in the halls of Congress. A former FBI agent, Rogers is running on his resume and squeaky-clean image, but it is not clear yet whether he has made any significant inroads into Cantor's support.
Rep. Todd Tiahrt (Kans.): Tiahrt took the offensive Friday, brandishing a calculator to take issue with Cantor's vote count. "Eric Cantor says he has 150 votes, which would leave 82 Members uncommitted," said Tiahrt. "I have personally spoken to more than two-thirds of the 232 members in the conference, and well over half of them are firmly undecided." If Tiahrt continues his attacks on Cantor it could benefit Rogers, who is able to remain above the fray while also benefiting from someone taking shots at the frontrunner.
Rep. Zach Wamp (Tenn.): Wamp has yet to make any real footprint in the race and is not expected to be a major player.

No "they're are dirty" they wont allow the ethics committee to meet, so they will get to stay in power longer. They only thing American can get from all of this is we are still a democracy. Its time to get back to the checks and balances that our founding fathers put into our government. Absolute power corrupts. I really dont care which party has which branch of goverment as long a the other party has the presidency.

It turns out that it's not just roadways that can prove to be dangerous intersections between humans and deer. During a NCAA Division III Mideast Regional cross country race, one runner had an unexpected and painful run-in with a deer.
Mid-race, a herd of deer sprinted through the runners to a futile call of "Watch out for the deer!" There's not much watching out you can do in that situation, as Gwynedd Mercy University runner Justin DeLuzio found out when one of the deer railroaded him.
OITNB's Jackie Cruz Takes 6 Shots, Gets Tipsy, Talks About Dream Role
One of the runners sums up the situation nicely after DeLuzio and the deer make contact by screaming, "Oh shit."
According to a recap of the race, Deluzio managed to finish with the help of teammate Matt French. "DeLuzio was very bruised up from the collision but fought through the remainder of the race with French right along with him to make sure he was ok in a true showing of camaraderie and sportsmanship," the recap states.
Not only does this show how strong a deer is, it's a reminder that Vine definitely had a place in the world. It's the perfect platform for this kind of thing. RIP Vine and RIP that runner's unbruised ribs.

President Barack Obama used his executive authority on Wednesday to create two new national monuments in the west, covering about 1.6 millions acres of public land.
The decision was met with praise from environmentalists and Native American groups, who had sought the protections, while congressional Republicans steamed and promised to work to undo the decision in the upcoming Donald Trump administration.
All of the land designated by Obama was already public land owned by the federal government under the 1906 Antiquities Act. Making the areas into monuments limits the amount of development that can take place on the land that might mar their "historic or scientific interest." The antiquities act was previously used to protect landmarks such as the Grand Canyon, Devil's Tower, and the Petrified Forest.
The new Gold Butte National Monument consists of about 300,000 acres of land in southwestern Nevada. This area was in the news in recent years because of its use by rancher Cliven Bundy, who grazed his cattle on public land without paying for the right to do so, prompting a standoff with the federal government. Bundy is currently awaiting trial from that incident, but I can't imagine he's too happy with the news.
The other area, Bears Ears National Monument, is significantly larger, consisting of 1.35 million acres in the Four Corners region of Utah, close to the Navajo Nation, which was part of a coalition of tribes that had sought the designation. In addition to its natural beauty, the area is of historical significance to native groups of the region, containing many artifacts and archaeological sites.
"Today marks a significant victory for Utah Navajo people and the entire Navajo Nation and we thank President Obama for supporting our efforts and for listening to our people," Navajo Council Delegate Davis Filfred said in a statement on Facebook. "With today's action, our ancestral homelands in the Bears Ears area will be protected and preserved for future generations."
To say that Utah Republicans are upset about the move would be an understatement. Sen. Orrin Hatch called the designation a "travesty," while Sen. Mike Lee told Buzzfeed News he would "work tirelessly" to undo the designation. Rep. Jason Chaffetz, one of the loudest voices in Congress for developing public lands, called it a "midnight move" (as of press time it is 6 p.m. EST, 4 p.m. in Utah).
A bunch of white dudes ignoring the desires of Native Americans. What could be more American?

Tabby's Birthday
January 28, 2012
Tabby is our oldest cat, and the one we've had for the longest time. He was a stray that we took in when we lived in Versailles, Kentucky. I first saw him in November 1994 when he took refuge in our backyard shed. He was very friendly and already neutered, so I assumed that this big handsome cat was someone's pet. He looked to be about 18 months old. I found out that he belonged to a neighbor whose daughter adopted him as a kitten, quickly grew tired of him, and gave him to her mother. The mother didn't like him because he didn't match her two gray and white cats, so she dumped him outside. He kept visiting our apartment and the two other rentals in the house, and we all fed him. Finally the neighbor denied ownership and we were able to bring him into our family in August 1998. I have arbitrarily assigned his birthday to January 1993; this is a minimum age, since he was full grown when we met him. So he's 19 this year, in excellent health (with all his teeth!) and still the same active, friendly cat who loves everyone, although he's got darkening "old man eyes" and I think feline dementia has begun to set in, since he consistently yowls at his water bowl for several minutes before drinking. Here's a photo of me holding him in January 2002.
For his birthday, I decide to re-create the photo, even though he's less cooperative about having his picture taken!
A Book of Trees in a Dream
January 17, 2012
I have always wanted to write an illustrated natural history book. It began long ago, when I began to see scientific illustration as more than just an old-fashioned art form, and started to work on it as a spiritual practice.
Science. Nature. Art. Spirit. For me there is no division between these things, although Science typically argues otherwise, and continues to shatter Itself into smaller and more isolated fragments.
"Things just get further and further apart, The head from the hands, and the hands from the heart."
– Lhasa de Sela (from the album "The Living Road", 2004).
It recently occurred to me that I have been looking for this book all of my life, subconciously searching for it in libraries, nature centers, bookstores, and even online. But I'll never find it there, and my unusual combination of interests probably means that it must be purely a personal project. In years past, I've made several attempts to plan it, and succeeded only in writing a few disjointed paragraphs to go with a handful of random images. But it began to crystallize about a year ago, as I refined the Lichen Oracle and decided to let it evolve into a larger project. A diverse collection of notes, lists, and drawings – some of them years or decades old – slowly came together, like iron filings drawn by a magnet. I drew a huge diagram that evolved into a tangled net of tiny interconnected sketches and single words. It sat rolled up in my studio for months as I conjured inspiration to fill in the gaps. New sketches accumulated on the shelf above it. One day I unrolled the chart, intending to make a second draft, more organized and detailed. I realized that half of it was sketches for four drawings that I had since finished. I rejected some of it as no longer useful. Only a small piece was left. I added it to the pile of recent sketches, put them all in an empty, newly-prepared drawer of my flatfile cabinet, and went back to work on a pencil drawing.
Slowly and quietly, all the bits and pieces began to speak to each other. Irrelevant or duplicated ideas vanished. Hidden connections surfaced. A simplified structure emerged. I began to see it, like a path through a thicket.
A book of drawings, paintings, illuminations, and writing.
The Graphis Lichen Oracle and the Oracle of Sticks, Stones, and Bones.
A record of sacred natural treasures: trees and precious pebbles, seedpods, shells, fungi, pieces of wood.
How to look at a deer antler, or a desert fern, or a quartz crystal, or a turtle shell.
A Creekwalker's account of the Gates into the Otherworld:
The Lichen Cloak, the Thorn House, the Wheel of Hawks.
And other pages, still unspoken here…
Of course some of it is already finished. A lot more resides in the drawer of rough drafts, waiting. A new red ochre drawing lays on my desk. One night I saw a version of the book in a dream, a sure sign that the project is well on its way and ready for more energy and a tighter focus. In the dream, the pages held only pencil drawings of sacred native trees and their wood: oak, hackberry, saguaro, swamp tupelo, beech, and others. Its purpose was to "banish the fear of death" in the viewer. (I expect that would take a very special and unusual viewer, given the incomprehension, unease, fear, or hostility with which most people view this type of art). But it was good enough for me. The work continues, more seriously now, as the path rises into the desert oak forest.

I've been fucking Bruce longer than Brandon or Jon, but I've never met him. He called me up out of the blue one day and we talked for hours and ended up having phone sex. Bruce was a sweet guy and although I'd never done it before, phonefucking turned out to be great fun. We've been phonebuddies for more than a year now.
It's a very difficult kind of sex. Because there's no way to establish a rhythm, no chance to do the same thing over and over until it works; you have to be constantly thinking of new acts and different scenarios. It's like having to write erotica in real time, with relatively low quality standards but insane speed-of-creativity expectations.
On the plus side, you can lie your ass off. "Oh baby, I got the chicken's entire upper body up there now... ooh, oooh... it's almost stopped thrashing..." Or "yeah, so there I was, thirteen years old, and the cheerleaders told me they were going to 'make me a woman', and then the first one started oiling her forearm..."
It's been a surprisingly intimate experience. Bruce went from telling me how hard he was gonna shove it up my ass to calling me when he needed moral support after crashing his car. We've been following each other's lives as well as sex lives. I know that he likes anal penetration (mine and his! ooh, that's fun) and I also know that he used to be in the Army but now he's studying for a chemistry degree while waiting tables at a steakhouse.
It's amazing how far he's been able to push me physically from two thousand miles away. I experienced my first (dildo) buttsex and my first (self) fisting under Bruce's highly specific direction.
The frequency of our little chats has gone down since I've gotten serious with Brandon and Jon, but it hasn't stopped. Sometimes there's nothing more fun than curling up in bed with the IP phone (no long distance charges!), putting on a big warm bathrobe I will claim to be skimpy lingerie, and dialing Chicago.

With the majority of buildings in Southern California made of wood, termites can find an abundance of food sources in the structures of these buildings. If left to feed freely, termites can cause serious structural damage; in fact, termites are the leading cause of home damage in Southern California, greatly surpassing fires, earthquakes and other natural disasters. One of the two most common types of wood pests in Southern California is the subterranean termite.
Termites live in colonies that, at maturity, number from several hundred to even several million individuals. Colonies use decentralized, self-organized systems of activity guided by swarm intelligence, which exploit food sources and environments unavailable to any single insect acting alone. Certainly, the large groups in which termites exist in addition to their ability to exploit food sources such as your wooden structures make these pests very hard to eradicate on your own. Clearly, when dealing with a termite pest control problem, termites elicit the pressing need for a professional to perform the work of eradicating them for you.
At Structural Pest and Termite Control, our professionals begin with a thorough consultation. To look for termites or wood debris that they may feed on, we examine crawl spaces, attics, basements and your foundation. Once the inspection is complete, we will devise a custom plan centered around your specific needs to help eradicate the issue. Our procedures for removing the termite pest issue involves treatment techniques that only professionals can implement.
At Structural Termite and Pest control, we know what it means to keep family safe and property free of pests. That is because we are family owned and operated, and have been for over 40 years! Rest assured that when you work with us, you are a part of our family, and we pride ourselves in working hard to protect our own. Structural Termite and Pest Control offers comprehensive pest control solutions that end termite infestations.

Businesses have huge potential to increase business performance by leveraging their Accounts Payable departments. According to Ardent Partners' ePayables study, "automation plays a critical role in enabling the Accounts Payables function to dramatically enhance performance and improve the level of visibility and intelligence around invoices and payment".
By automating accounts payable processes, companies can not only cut costs but also eliminate routine tasks within the organization. Ultimately, invoice automation provides better, more timely, and more accurate information for finance organization to extract working capital gains through optimized financial processes. Key to this accuracy is going paperless with electronic invoices, and automatically matching purchase invoices to purchase orders or payment plans.
What about the exceptions?
There are always some invoices that cannot be processed automatically - for example, invoices that don't have an associated purchase order or contract from the procurement solution or from ERP. In these cases, your purchase to pay software should make invoice review and approval simple for the people who need to do it. To make invoice coding easier for the cost center managers, modern solutions can leverage templates to code the invoice based on historical information for a given supplier, or based on an automatic coding template.
Automatic coding templates
Basware Purchase-to-Pay provides invoice coding templates that can be used to save coding data for future use. Alternatively, it can create coding examples for specific suppliers and share them with other users. After the template has been selected, the coding rows from the template are copied to the invoice. The coding templates can also be used to code invoices automatically. The Accounts Payable organization can define automatic coding templates that apply coding on an invoice line level for incoming invoices without associated purchase orders or payment plans.
View picture in full size »
The power of automatic coding templates lies in the ability to automatically code invoices on line level based on any information in the invoice - for example, based on product codes or product names. The automatic coding templates can have a remarkable efficiency impact especially in cases where invoice contains tens, if not hundreds of lines, which all have to be coded to number of accounts, project numbers and cost centers.
View picture in full size »
Coding templates are applied after the invoice has been validated by Basware Purchase-to-Pay. When used effectively, automatic coding templates can improve cycle time of invoices sent for manual review and approval.
Improving invoice cycle time gives financial organizations more flexibility. Together with reporting and analytical capabilities of Basware Purchase-to-Pay, Accounts Payable managers are able to capture intelligence around invoices and payments, as well as help monitor and optimize key financial performance metrics. All this together enable them to determine the best moment to complete payments to the supplier - thereby leveraging accounts payable for working capital gains.
Learn more about Basware Purchase-to-Pay that combine the latest cloud, social, mobile and smart analytics technologies for the benefit of purchase to pay process. Find out how our customers save money and increase efficiency, and learn how different Accounts Payable organizations progress in their quest for operational efficiency, process automation and strategic importance.

A Learning Zone of One's Own
Sharing Representations and Flow in Collaborative Learning Environments
- Editors
- Tokoro, M., Steels, L.
- Pub. date
- January 2004
- Pages
- 288
- Binding
- hardcover (reprinted 2009)
- ISBN print
- 978-1-58603-410-8
- Subject
- Artificial Intelligence, Computer & Communication Sciences, Computer Science
The book consists of three parts. The first part, entitled "Play and Grounding" looks at play as a context likely to reveal the essence of grounding. Grounding is the embodiment of understanding things/actions in relation to and/or integrated with their environments. The second part, entitled "Optimal Experience and Emotion" shows the close association between grounding and emotion. The third part, entitled "Pedagogy and Technology" elaborates on new technologies (the computer and Internet) and on concepts and pedagogical methodologies supported by such technologies. The contributions in this volume demonstrate the great potential for the further development. First, we are now more confident that emotion is indispensable for human learning, and that learning requires grounding. Emotion accompanies play activities and play activities accompany emotion. This relation provides a rich context for grounding. The notion of optimal experience, or flow, seems an important factor for grounding, and it is suggested that optimal experience occur when the emotion and neuro systems come into harmony. Moreover, the reports and proposals made here on pedagogy and tools assure us of the feasibility of learning environments that are safe, effective, and innovative. Technologies, if appropriately applied, should greatly benefit learning in both the classroom and at home.

Free Beer & Hot Wings: Dead Woman Parties One Last Time at Her Funeral [Video]
New Orleans native Miriam Burbank passed away earlier this month.
In life, 53-year-old Miriam, or Mae-Mae as she was known, was a partier.
In death, her family wanted her to be the same.
Instead of a traditional visitation and funeral, Miriam's was a little different.
A dedicated New Orleans Saints fan, Miriam was propped up at a table in a living room-type setting, cigarette in hand and a case of Busch beer sitting on the table. Her fingernails were also painted Saints colors. Oh, and there was music playing and a disco ball spinning.

Students were first introduced to the practice of soundwalking, and were invited to share the lead of the walk with Andra, at any time they felt inspired.
The walk began on the Loyola campus and moved southwest towards the Montreal West train station. Some of the participants took an active part in the soundwalk by producing sounds, exploring different objects and surfaces of street furniture. We then walked on the train platform all the way to Westminster Ave, before heading North to Curzon Str. A train finally passed as we were heading north, and we stopped to listen to it for a moment. We then headed back to campus through on Sherbrooke. A student took over the lead and brought the group to the Loyola chapel, where we sat briefly, listening to the quiet reverberating space. One student played notes on the piano. Then, we walked through the AD building all the way back to the CJ building, using the elevators to get back to the classroom.
In the discussion that followed, students exchanged on the types of sounds heard and their various significations. One student described the sound of cars as the "urban breathing" [respiration urbaine], another talked of the various sonic bubbles that go from the group to the larger social environment all the way to the larger space of the city. The walk was described as a series of sequences which begun with an initial movements towards synchronization between participants (synchronization of the steps, the pace, notably), and then moved towards an opening to the space of the park, and an interest for a new environment never visited before. One student came to the realization that the practice of soundwalking was quite similar to her daily experience of the city.
The visit of the chapel was revealed to be the result of chance, the student who took the lead at that moment saying that she wanted to visit a new part of the campus without knowing it was a church. Many students shared a positive experience of the relative silence in the chapel and the few musical notes that filled the space. Finally, students discussed the challenge of focusing their attention on listening to outside sounds rather than their internal voice. and also mentioned the performative nature of soundwalking in a group. The notions of play and interaction was also addressed by one student who described the soundwalk as "this opportunity of 40 minutes to play", as well as an experience that can bring the group together through shared silence, comparing the soundwalk to Quaker meetings where "there's something being transmitted within that silence, which is never quite a silence because we all have thoughts occurring in our heads and things that are unsaid but that alter the situation."

Our Rats and AHT's are first and foremost house pets and are loved dearly. Hence the never ending trail of paw prints when you visit us. I may pay the mortgage but the dogs own the house...
We strive to produce offspring that surpass the excellent qualities of both parents combined. Prior to breeding, our dogs are OFA tested for Cardiac, Patella's and now PLL (luxating lenses), offering the healthiest offspring we possibly can.
We occasionally will have puppies available to pet homes on spay/neuter contracts as well as to select established breeding homes. We require questionaires completed about potential families for our babies prior to adopting into a family. We love our babies and place them with families where we know they will be loved, protected, safe, and educated to become the "outstanding rats" they so deserve.
Our babies are litter-pan trained, crate training begun, shots, wormings up-to-date prior to leaving. Their education continues until they move to their new family.
If you are interested in any of our babies or occasional older puppies, please feel free to contact us regarding our dogs at any time. NO PICTURES MAY BE COPIED/SAVED FOR YOUR OWN USE WITHOUT WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM PARTYRATS KENNEL Email us at:

Did someone say filthy gorgeous?! This fried bread sandwich is a ridiculously indulgent weekend treat that you need to get in your face immediately! Messy to eat and a sure fire cure for a hangover.
Two slices of butter soaked fried bread sandwich hold all of the favourite ingredients of a classic English breakfast; sausage, bacon, fried egg, tomato and, because I'm slightly health conscious(?!) a generous dollop of mashed avocado.
As always with fry ups, the higher the quality of ingredients the more satisfying the end result. Splash out on some higher end sausages and bacon, and you should definitely be using free range eggs for all of your cooking. I opted to go with tiger bread for this recipe, as it has a great texture for soaking up all of the flavours and it gets extra crispy.
As quick and easy to put together as a normal English breakfast, but so much more satisfying! Give it a go this weekend and banish those hangover demons!
As with all English fry ups, serve this fried bread sandwich up with tomato sauce and a big mug of tea!

This full English breakfast in a sandwich is an indulgent way to start the day and banish a hangover!
- 2 pork sausages
- 1 avocado
- 1/2 tspn English mustard
- 1/2 tspn Worcestershire sauce
- 2 rashers streaky bacon
- 1 plum tomato
- 4 slices tiger bread
- 100 g salted butter
- paprika
- 2 eggs
- mayonaise
- salt and pepper
- olive oil
- Heat the oven to 200º and pop the sausages in for 25mins. Whilst they are cooking you can prep the rest.
- Mash the avocado in a bowl, and add in the english mustard, worcestershire sauce and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Combine well and leave to one side.
- In a large frying pan and fry the bacon, no need to add any oil in (I really do recommend you use the American streaky kind so you get a real crunch!). Keep the frying pan hot and place the bacon to one side. Slice the tomato as thinly as you and put the slices into the hot frying pan and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are slightly coloured and soft. Scoop out of the pan and leave to one side.
- To the hot pan, add in 50g of butter and that will start to foam. Add in the slices of bread and sprinkle a little salt, pepper and paprika on the top whilst the underside fries. Whilst it is frying move the pan around so that the bread is allowed to soak up all the butter. When golden and crispy on one side, flip the slices, this should take about 4-5mins. Add in cubes of the remaining butter and fry to perfection. Once cooked, leave to one side.
- Rinse out the pan and over a medium high flame heat a good amount of oil - you want enough to cover the base of the whole pan. To fry the eggs, I used a couple of chefs rings to keep a really nice shape. Pop the rings onto the hot oil and break and egg into each. Spoon hot oil over the top, and carefully remove once cooked.
The sausages should be cooked by now, so remove these from the oven. Now to stack!
- For each sandwich, dollop a thin layer of mayonnaise on top of two slices of the fried bread, then spoon over a generous helping of the avocado mixture. Cut a sausage in half lengthways and place on top of the sausage. Spoon over half of the tomatoes, top with a couple of strips of bacon and then the fried egg on top. Place the other slice of fried bread and avocado on top.

The Lincoln-Hastings-Kearney DMA in Nebraska is considered by many to be the most unique in the U.S. It contains four major cities that are separated by 130 miles. Most DMAs in the U.S. have only one major metro area and all of the television stations in the market cover that metro area.
Nielsen regards the four cities in Lincoln-Hastings-Kearney as two separate metro areas within the same DMA. Metro 1 is defined as Lancaster County, with Lincoln, Nebraska being the city of origin for the television stations. Metro 2 is made up of Adams, Hall and Buffalo counties and contains the cities of Grand Island, Hastings and Kearney, Nebraska.
The Lincoln-Hastings-Kearney DMA is unique because television and radio stations serving one metro area do not cover the other. In fact, the extreme western end and northern portion of the DMA is served by neither Metro where radio is concerned. These areas are served by either translators or satellite stations of some of the Metro 2 television stations. Perhaps some lobbying created an extreme case of "gerrymandering" to increase television market ranking?

That being said, a few celebs have caught my attention (Trey Songz, Jordin Sparks, Tristan Wilds), but Mariah Carey is by far the FUNNIEST.
Mimi usually makes me want to vomit, but I won't front...chick is hella self-aware, so that I get the feeling I'm laughing with her.
Here are just a few of her gems:
- "someone complained about the bad grammar in my messages. For the record, it's a tweet dear, not a thesis."
- "Nick is too cute when he's sleep! I wish he didn't have to work tomorrow so he could help me sleep all day and I could sing all nite!"
- "Just finished working out. Whooo! Quite naturally" its 5am and I still can't sleep"(sung like "crybaby" from "Rainbow"99)lol Who's up?"
- "I'm pretty sure my spell check is broken cos I know I MUSTVE spelled Chihuwawa wrong. No, I cannot spell..its almost as bad as I am at math!"
- "When I was 4, Iwent on an Easter egg hunt and I actually stumbled upon "THE BONUS EGG" aka I WON!!! But...Then... This 12yr old girl stole the BONUS EGG right out of my hand and ran around saying.."I got the BONUS EGG!!!".... (Easter saga cont.) Anyway, she won a HUGE Easter basket w/stuffed animals and candy and she didn't even find the frikin egg!!!
