Adventures in Fiction 2014 Recap
On Feb 15, 2014 I attended the one day event Adventures in Fiction 2014. I had a blast hanging with friends, rubbing elbows with authors, and dancing the night away at the masquerade ball! It was a fantastic day and it is already on my agenda for next year.
How my day started: Started tweeting with friends who were driving in from down south. I was super excited to see them. CONFESSION: As excited as I am to hang out with authors, it is always my reading friends (old and new) that make going to these events FUN!
Arrive at the event: Got registered, said hello to my friends, and anxiously awaited the doors to open! It was kind of like that shopping commercial where the shoppers are going "open, open, open"!
Get in the doors: Let the fun begin!!!
There was Jill Shalvis (http://jillshalvis.com/)! Seriously I think I made a complete fool of myself but that is OK! I got Rescue My Heart and Rumor Has It signed. She didn't even make fun of the fact that the books are well read (so take that non-book benders JK)! She was super delightful!
There was Nikki Duncan (http://nikkiduncan.com/)! Now hear this: You have to meet Nikki if you ever get a chance. On top of being a wonderful author, she is crafty y'all! You should see her shoes that she made from her book covers. She is the bomb diggity!
There was Connie Cox (http://www.conniecox.com/)! I adore me some Connie! I consider her a friend as well as a rock star author. We chatted over everything and danced like the crazy women that we are 🙂
There was Liliana Hart (http://www.lilianahart.com/)! I squee anytime I meet her. Her Whiskey series is one of my favorite in audio (even though I have to wait for them for months after they release in kindle). She is just wonderful! Plus I finally scored a My Book Boyfriend bumper sticker! I have been wanting one FOREVER!
There was Heather Long (http://www.heatherlong.net/)! Heather had such a busy Feb and still managed to be just Rock Star Awesome! She signed a Haunted Me Notebook and then Always a Marine for me! Seriously y'all Always a Marine is one of my favorite Top Off Tuesday covers EVER!

A Modern Wedding in St. Helena, CA
On paper, Patricia and Ian have very little in common. But a mutual friend set them up on a blind date, thinking their love of food might be enough to bring them together. Turns out, it was! The couple dated for nine months and, on the last night of a weekend trip to Santa Barbara, Ian proposed. The Bride Patricia Calfee, 36, an entrepreneur The Groom Ian Picache, 38, an venture capitalist/entrepreneur The Date April 15 "He did it while we were settling in for the night," Patricia remembers. "It was low-key and very sweet." They interviewed four wedding planners before hiring their dream planner, Pamela Fisheman Cianci.

Prestige Latest
BirdLife International urges EU leaders to ban single-hulled oil tankers and adopt measures to prevent more spills…On the eve of the Copenhagen Summit, BirdLife International is calling on European Union (EU) Heads of State to immediately agree a ban on single-hulled oil tankers and adopt new measures to strengthen marine safety and liability regulations to prevent future oil spills such as the Prestige disaster.The Prestige oil spill shows it is imperative the European Union urgently adopt new measures banning single-hulled oil tankers operating in EU waters by 2005 at the latest, and strengthening marine safety and liability regulations to help prevent future oil spills such as the Prestige disaster, said Miguel Naveso, Head of BirdLife International European Community Office in Brussels. Like the Erika spill before it, the Prestige disaster shows yet again that oil and seabirds don`t mix. Approximately every three years the coastline of Europe is being devastated by a major oil spill. On this basis we will have to suffer another four major oil spills before single-hulled tankers are due to be phased-out in 2015.BirdLife Partners in all EU countries have written to Heads of State urging them to immediately agree a ban on single-hulled oil tankers by 2005 at the latest and adopt new measures to strengthen marine safety and liability regulations to prevent future oil spills. This includes increasing controls on high risk ships in EU ports and regulatory companies that inspect ships and determine seaworthiness and security standards, and to improve liability and damage compensation caused by pollution by re-launching a proposal for a Compensatory Fund for Oil Pollution (COPE) within EU waters. BirdLife also wants the EU to approve immediately the proposed new Environmental Liability Directive, which covers oil spills.The EU has adopted regulations and directives to strengthen European legislation on marine safety, which, if implemented would improve on existing International Marine Organisation (IMO) standards and guidelines. These make up the so-called Erika Package which covers immediate actions (Erika I) and long-term measures (Erika II).BirdLife expects the EU and member states to play a leading role at the global level in the next International Maritime Organisation meeting in 2003 just as they did on the issue of climate change, said Mr Naveso.Further information and photos for one-off media use available via:http://www.birdlife.net/news/Newsitem_display.cfm?NewRecID=732&NewType=N

I feel pretty good about the short lecture I gave today. Though I probably scored an "E" for technology use, I think the "A" I deserve for improvisation more than makes up for the lack.
Our county bar association has a speaker at every monthly luncheon, and I agreed to fill in with a short presentation on litigation organization at today's meeting. I expected to use my own LCD projector to play the PowerPoint presentation I'd cobbled together. But when I tested the machine yesterday, the bulb blew out. Fortunately, my friend Jimmy owns a projector and graciously lent it.
Jimmy assured me any idiot could operate the simple device, and owning one myself I didn't expect any difficulties. Except I'd never stored files on my projector's internal hard drive; and I didn't know how to select between internally stored files and ones contained on an external zip drive. Jimmy apparently had stored at least one item in his machine, and it (rather than the contents of my zip drive) began playing when I queued up the first slide at my lecture.
No one was more surprised than me to see a photo of an open fishing tackle-box, instead of the bullet points on the topics I planned to cover. Though I couldn't fathom how it'd mixed with my slides, I knew my tenuous hold over the audience's attention wouldn't abide any pauses to work out kinks in the presentation. So I improvised, telling my listeners that "the evidence for a lawsuit is like a tackle-box; if it's not organized properly, a lawyer will never land the big verdict."
Ignoring the blank stares from some audience members, I moved on to the next slide – one depicting a fishing rod and reel. That's when I realized I'd inexplicably keyed up the photos from Jimmy's recent fishing trip (the one I'd declined to attend), instead of my litigation organization panels. Nonetheless I pressed on, illustrating evidence gathering and categorization issues using the rod and reel picture, as well as ensuing photos of a) Jimmy's friend casting his line from their motor boat, b) Jimmy wrangling in a large fish with his net, and c) an open cooler containing the day's haul. I even equated a shot of Jimmy chugging a beer to the perils of rushing ahead in discovery without proper case organization. And guess what? In the end, my inadvertent, spontaneous pairing of fishing photos and lawsuit systematization proved a lot more entertaining than the lecture I'd planned.
Jimmy laughed hard enough to pass a kidney stone when I told him what happened. In contrast, I didn't chuckle so much as breath a huge sigh of relief when he showed me how fortunate I was … that the fishing trip photos had played instead of the other file he'd stored on the projector's internal memory. I would've been hard-pressed to conjure an acceptable case organization analogy from pictures of a wild bachelor party, especially ones featuring a pair of lesbian strippers performing eye-opening acts of "sisterly love."

Normally, Monday's are I day I at least endeavor to be funny. Today seems a good time as any to do some of the requisite getting old content onto the new blog posts though, so here's a Miller Brothers highlight I made before Jim's fight with Steve Lopez at UFC 103. If you look closely to the left of Jim's sponsor banner for the Wiman fight, you can totally see my hand on the top of the cage, making me famous.

MMA Monday: The 8 Most Incredible Submissions of All Time
The Most Incredible Guillotine of All Time
Event: IFL Semi-Finals 2007
Participants: Dan Miller vs. Dave Phillips
The Set-Up: Miller and Phillips were both relative unknowns on the national stage, filling in for a pair of injured fighters. With similar records, the two seemed an even match to anyone without any special inside information on either fighter, and the fight seemed destined to go to an even decision. Miller had other plans. After quickly taking Phillips down, Miller got overzealous in his bashing, and Phillips threw up an armbar. Not panicking, Miller calmly stood up and spiked Phillips on his head, leading to a scramble as Phillips attempted to stand.
Miller was handpicked to fill in by Renzo Gracie. Phillips was handpicked by a body builder. Turns out Renzo knew MMA a little better. Miller locked in a standing guillotine as Phillips clambered to his feet, then pressed him against the ropes, bending his head down at the worst angle MMA fans had ever seen. Until he rocked back and pressed again, teaching Phillips that you don't always need a stethoscope to hear your own heartbeat. Continue reading

Dear Mike: What do you look for in an editor?
Reader Question: What do you look for in an editor?
Mike: I want he or she to be "on my side." Not working against me. Not pulling a power trip, being condescending. Not rewriting so heavy-handedly where the words read like the editor's and not mine. Not acting negatively, obnoxiously, haughtily. Writing is indeed a collaborative effort Trust me, you need a good editor. All writers do, even great ones. I've been lucky. I've had many editors that weren't merely good, but, in my humble opinion, great. There's nothing like it. A great editor is such a dream, and they will make YOU great. I love the line that one of my regular editors used to say to me: "Hey, Mike, this story is great….but here's what I'd like you to do to make it even better." What an approach! After those words, how could I not be receptive to his suggestions?

text: Jaybird180 75 Report post Posted January 18, 2018 My son started riding his dirt bike on his 4th birthday. A "gift" from a friend included a 1-pc leather suit, but he hardly uses it because we find it preferred for him to wear his body armor. We haven't tried on the suit in awhile and he's likely outgrown it. Upcoming this March he will start MiniGP in the 5+ year old group, which will be held at NJMP. Where can I find children's PPE like leathers, gloves, etc in his size? Preferably somewhere that takes trades because he's growing FAST! Shopping for his dirt bike helmet was a frustrating, time consuming and expensive experience but as a parent, I'm prepared to suck-it-up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should a variable annuity be inside an IRA?
- Alan Lavine and Gail Liberman
Put a tax-deferred investment, like a variable annuity, inside an already tax-deferred IRA or retirement account.
Many financial advisers say this usually is a bad move. Yet, nearly one-half of all variable annuity sales are in IRA rollovers, the National Association of Variable Annuities, Reston, Va. has reported.
Is this appropriate?
First, understand that a variable annuity is a contract with a life insurance company. With it, you can do your own investing in a selection of investment options tax-deferred. When you retire, you have the option to withdraw funds or "annuitize" the contract so that you get periodic income for life.
The idea behind putting the variable annuity inside an IRA often is to obtain insurance guarantees. At least, that's according to Brandon Buckingham, director of qualified plans and special markets attorney for John Hancock Annuities, Boston. Those guarantees include:
Annuities in IRAs, Buckingham says, also can help transfer wealth to family members. For example, a variable annuity beneficiary can withdraw in installments over his or her life expectancy. The undistributed amount continues to grow tax-deferred.
Plus, we've heard some advise putting a variable annuity inside an IRA for tax protection when you withdraw. While variable annuities are "tax-deferred," you'll still owe ordinary income tax--which can run as high as 35 percent--when you withdraw. By sheltering it in another tax-advantaged retirement account, you might postpone or eliminate these taxes.
Despite these possible benefits, financial advisers frequently advise against putting variable annuities in IRAs.
Chief reason: They're so expensive!
Jane King, president of Fairfield Financial Advisors, Wellesley, Mass., notes the average variable annuity charges more than two percentage points annually. Tack on the added cost for features, such as a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit, and you can wind up paying 2.50 percentage points to more than 2.85 percentage points anually. You also need to consider surrender charges if you withdraw early.
On top of that, King says, many insurance companies prohibit you from keeping all your money in stock funds, which over the long term, typically perform best. Bottom line: Your variable annuity's net return, after expenses, often is not great.
A 60 percent stock-40 percent bond mix historically has grown at more than 8 percent annually since 1926, according to Ibbotson Associates, Chicago. Subtract 2.85 percent in annuity charges, and your annual rate of return could drop with a thud, to say, 5.15 percent.
That's not so much different from what you might expect from a bank deposit, which has the added advantage of a government guarantee.
King prefers to invest IRA rollovers in no-load, low-cost mutual funds. She diversifies in growth and value stock funds, international funds, bonds and money funds for attractive risk-adjusted rates of return.
She prefers that retirees use up their non-retirement savings assets first, leaving the retirement account to grow in value--even while taking the minimum required distributions.
The tax-deferred IRA can be left to a child as an inherited IRA. Then the child can take distributions based on his or her life expectancy.
If you consider a variable annuity, always evaluate the financial strength of the insurance company and all the fees involved. Strive for the lowest cost possible.

Grove City earns 3rd straight win
PITTSBURGH -- The Grove City College women's basketball team earned its third consecutive victory Wednesday night by earning a 72-58 victory at Presidents' Athletic Conference foe Chatham.
Junior guard Kelsey Shirey (Macedonia, Ohio/Nordonia) paced Grove City with a game-high 25 points while sophomores Kathryn Erbelding (Rochester, N.Y./Greece Olympia) and Mary McDonald (Slippery Rock, Pa./Portersville Christian) joined Shirey in double figures.
Erbelding poured in 16 points and McDonald collected 14 points and a game-high seven rebounds.
Grove City led 24-19 at halftime and broke open the game with a 12-3 run over the final seven minutes of the game. Erbelding ignited the run with a layup while Shirey scored eight of Grove City's next 10 points to push the Wolverines' lead to 60-45.
Grove City then sealed the win by going 10 for 12 at the foul line in the final two minutes.
For the game, Grove City shot 27 for 61 (44 percent) from the field while Chatham went 20 for 43 (47 percent). Grove City forced 23 Chatham turnovers. The Wolverines turned over the ball 15 times.
Shirey, Erbelding and sophomore Ausinette Rodriguez (Frederick, Md./Urbana) all had six rebounds for Grove City, helping the Wolverines claim a 38-25 edge on the glass. Shirey had four assists and three steals.
Emily Schmidt led Chatham (3-17, 2-11 PAC) with 16 points.
Grove City (7-13, 5-8 PAC) will host Saint Vincent Saturday at 1 p.m. in conference play.

Janet Dickerson (email@example.com) - Vice President of Campus Life
Fall 2010 Editors' Letter:
Dear Readers,
This issue's initial goal was to capture the momentum of your summer adventures, reflections, and travels, but we ended up with much more than that. Out of a veritable treasure trove of submissions, we've chosen only the most unique artifacts of true cultural exploration for your consumption. We hope you enjoy the poetry, pictures, and essays that reflect (and refract) Princeton's diverse culture.
That said, we wouldn't be here without you, and we'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of you who have continued to follow Prism Magazine in all of its varied manifestations.
One of those new manifestations is debuting in the near future, so keep your eyes peeled. This is Prism's first issue featuring music from campus artists. Select tracks will be available to you online at our website: www.princeton.edu/~prism. We hope you take the time to listen to a couple songs while working on the next great American novel, slaving over your Thesis, or composing a submission for next semester's issue.
We are evolving, and frankly, we wouldn't have it any other way. Feedback from readers, contributors, and editors has crystallized in this issue, the first of a series of themed reviews. Prism Magazine is turning over a new leaf and we hope that you elect to turn it over with us (and the leaves right in front of you, too).

Glutamine is an amino acid synthesized by the body from another amino acid, called glutamic acid or glutamate. Glutamine is referred to as a conditionally essential amino acid because under certain circumstances the body is unable to produce enough glutamine to meet its needs, so it becomes "essential" during these times to obtain glutamine from the diet. The most abundant amino acid in the blood and muscle tissue, glutamine participates in many important physiological functions and is especially important in maintaining the health of the gastrointestinal tract and the immune system. In recent years, glutamine has become increasingly popular among athletes, as it is believed that glutamine helps prevent infections following athletic events and speeds post-exercise recovery.
Glutamine is best known for its ability to serve as a source of fuel for the cells that line the gastrointestinal tract. More specifically, glutamine is the preferred fuel source for cells lining the small intestine. By nourishing these cells, glutamine helps maintain the health and integrity of the gastrointestinal tract. A healthy gastrointestinal tract is vital to preserving overall well-being, as the lining of the gastrointestinal tract serves as a first line of defense against disease-causing microorganisms and also minimizes the absorption of potentially allergenic molecules. Glutamine also serves as a source of fuel for muscle and immune cells.
In addition, glutamine plays a role in maintaining the body's proper acid-base balance. Glutamine is synthesized from glutamate and ammonia. Ammonia is a toxic waste compound with a high pH value, meaning that it is basic (as opposed to acidic). When ammonia levels are elevated, the body clears ammonia from the blood by synthesizing glutamine. If the blood is too acidic (pH too low), the body can break down glutamine into glutamate and ammonia to increae the pH of the blood.
Glutamine also serves as precursor to the antioxidant glutathione, participates in glycogen synthesis (the storage form of carbohydrate), and provides nitrogen compounds for the manufacture of nucleotides which are used to make DNA and RNA.

Loading SSHD in Eclipse or IDEA¶
If you want to debug or develop on SSHD, chances are you want to load it in your IDE. Most IDE now have some maven support (either natively or through plugins), but if you don't have those plugins installed, you can create the required project files using one of the following command:
mvn eclipse:eclipse
mvn idea:idea
If you want to have the source code for the various dependencies available for debugging, you can add the -DdownloadSources=true parameter on the command line.
Next step is to load the generated project from Eclipse or IDEA.
Note that you may have to set up some global variables to point to the local maven repository.

I've always had the desire to contribute to the growth of others. Time, energy and lots of money were thrown to the wayside in order to make other people happy. In retrospect, this was my way of not dealing with my own issues … taking on the role of 'the helper'.
It's been almost 10 months since I entered a treatment facility to deal with the aftermath of a manic episode that lasted the good part of the last 3 years. I now know that I wasn't in as good space, even though at the time I thought I was being 'productive'.
By making a conscious decision to discontinue coping with drugs and alcohol, I've begun to see life in a new light. And this light continues to illuminate many issues I've been depressing for years.
The fog has lifted. And I've only begun to deal with the many emotional issues that date back to my early childhood. But I have to accept them, accelerate through them and conquer them. Period.
Q – What's the best thing about recovery?
A -We get our emotions back.
Q –What's the worst thing about recovery?
A -Yup, we get our emotions back.
My desire to truly know what love is and having the ability to give it unconditionally is very high on my 'growth list'. My past relationships have been more like possessions; taking prisoners if you will. 'Do as I say and I'll be happy'.' Don't cross me and everything will be fine.' They were the epitome of superficial relationships based in fear, convenience and self-centeredness. Not having the ability to appreciate people for who they are….Looking at people as objects vs. loving human beings. I would unknowingly judge them on their potential. While at the same time always hoping they would 'come around' …. Develop into who I wanted or needed them to be. Not cool.
Looking outside of my 'self' for happiness has also been a thorn in my side. Trying to fill the 'God hole' with possessions, success, acknowledgements and money is a recipe for disaster. And I'm dealing with the consequences as I write this. Money and success have been major motivational factors for as long as I can remember. I now know I was programmed to think this way and by the grace God I've been given the opportunity to adjust my game plan and remove this illusion from my consciousness.
The Remedy is Love
The only way we can be 'whole' is to look within vs. without. Nothing external is going to fulfill our desire to be loved. We must love ourselves first. This takes compassion, acceptance and humility … traits that I've never considered important until recently. I've always had a 'kind heart', a trait I can trace back to my mother (and father). But unfortunately this 'kind heart' frequently had conditions.
Conditional love is the work of Darkness. Constantly reminding us to take all we can get without thinking of others. When selfishness is inadvertently instilled in us at a very young age, it's a difficult habit to break. But once broken, we finally have the ability to think of others first. Give of ourselves and not look for anything in return. This is the true essence of Love. In the book, 'The Road Less Traveled', M Scott Peck defines Love as "the extending of one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth". Wow.
Not taking the opportunity to face my demons would be a tragedy. A tragedy because of what would be lost. I need to take advantage of the opportunity to assist others in working through the same emotional issues that have plagued me for years. When it comes right down to it, I've had to snap out of the 'blame game' and use my new found knowledge to access the infinite wisdom that is embedded in my DNA. There are no shortcuts. We can't wait on others to save us. We have to 'attack the day' and endure the pain that comes with spiritual growth.
Looking at pain as a 'price of admission', we ultimately realize that spiritual growth is a gift. Spiritual growth is luxury that requires us to accept the necessary pain that will lead us to the joy of recovering from our past. Accepting this path to enlightenment, we will ultimately feel gratitude for the wisdom that we've attained.
Change Hurts
It's difficult to embrace change. Change is hard. Change is scary. But change is the only thing in this world we can count on. Nothing stays the same…ever. We can reminisce about what we had or where we've been, but always knowing that it's the journey we need to focus on. Change and growth are painful. And to take a quote from the movie, 'Prometheus', "The trick is to not mind the pain".
Wayne Dyer often speaks about 'enjoying the mystery' of life. Once we realize that life is both mysterious and painful, we open ourselves to all the joy that life provides. So many of us are scared of growth and the pain that comes with it. To finally take the first step towards healing the past, enjoying the present and being optimistic about the future …. This is the true meaning of liberation.
Courage is being scared to do something and making the choice to do it anyway. So do it scared. It gives us the opportunity to smash our Ego and break the chains that have been holding us back from fulfilling our destiny. We must embrace the pain, move through it and look forward to the joy that awaits us on the other side.

Argentina: New UFO Prints in Chicoana - Video
Primary tabs
By Scott Corrales - 8 years 6 months ago
The strange pictograms appeared on Friday in the Las Mesitas area, along the access road to the town. Local residents expect sightings.
SALTA – Some thirty pictograms in a variety of different shapes appeared carefully outlined in a wheat field along the main road to Chicoana, some 30 kilometers distant from the provincial seat and to the southwest.
Two years after the first manifestations that occurred at this same time of the year in this region of Lerma Valley, the phenomenon is still attributed – according to witnesses – to strange luminous objects that fly over the area at low altitude. While no enigmatic lights were seen in this instance, locals state that the cycle will repeat itself with numerous UFO sightings.

What would you be doing today with powerful stories?
I remember the day when I heard that our stories dictate our results.
At first I thought "yeah, okay I can maybe buy into this".
But then I heard it again.
This time I took a moment to press pause and really immerse myself into this concept.
Our stories dictate our results.
What did that really mean?
For me?
On a day to day basis?
So the first thing I did was to become aware of the stories in my head.
I've always acknowledged that I hear voices.
But before that day I wasn't truly paying attention to what they were saying.
In fact,
I simply took everything at face value and OF COURSE it was true.
After all,
it was my life,
my experience,
my truth.
Except the stories were really shit.
They were filled with anger, resentment, bitterness.
There was so much pain on replay.
I was such a fucking victim I was horrified at myself!
I started tracing my actions which derived from said stories and what I found was astounding!
In some areas of my life I was being a constant bitch – always expecting attack and ready to spit hellfire!
In some areas I was the overprotective lioness – keeping her cubs super close to her in case a predator would snatch them away.
In some areas I was showing up as a glimmer of my glorious self – giving the world a part of me, just enough to be seen by a handful but not enough for people to really pay attention.
Understand that I found plenty of evidence for all of these as we ALWAYS find evidence for our beliefs.
My life was a mirror reflection of my stories.
Strained, toxic, draining relationships.
Frustrated kids who has their moms' warrior spirit yet held in cotton wool – sorry boys!
A business that was ticking over and making massive change for a few lives but not the scale of impact I agreed to make during this lifetime.
Plus I was feeling miserable most days.
After a few days of consciously listening to this 'tragedy', I decided to start talking back.
I would have full-on out loud debates with the voices.
Driving in my car.
Riding my bike.
Walking on the beach.
Washing the dishes.
I found that it's these pockets of time when I'm not immersed in my soul work that the voices are most talkative.
I started actively looking for evidence of the good things in my life – and there was sooooo much.
Way more good than challenges.
Each time the voice would say "OMG did you see that negative comment on Facebook? They think you're an asshole. Damn it hurt like a motherlicken. You should really stop talking so much Anel. People aren't ready for your crazy thoughts. Stop putting yourself in harms way and just shut up!"
I would come back with "Yes but did you read that email from Sarah that thanked me for speaking out that which her soul is silently crying? Did you see that I brought light, if only for a moment, to one person's life? That, for me, is worth a hundred haters."
On and on.
One topic, one life area, after another.
Slowly but surely the voices in my head quietened down.
It was as if they were growing tired of this stubborn determined old bat always having a comeback.
And then, the voices started changing their story.
I didn't have to debate with them anymore.
I started consciously choosing positive stories in my head.
I set the stage in the morning through journaling. Writing into physical reality that which I truly desire. Going deep into the person who has already received said desires and then asking myself "What would that version of me be thinking about? What is her stories?"
Once I've written them down I draw on them as a blueprint all day long.
And here's the kicker –
Once I'd delved into her feelings and thoughts and beliefs, I ask myself "What is the aligned action she would take today?"
I commit to taking the actions.
My results stem from these actions.
For me the true miracle, the one for which I am most grateful, is waking up feeling truly happy.
My happiness has my face continuously smiling.
Which seems to be changing the contours and lines of my face.
And I like it!
I continue this practice understanding that mind-set work is ongoing.
I check in with myself during the day and if I feel a sense of sadness, anger, fear, whatever the case might be, I ask myself what is the story behind the feeling?
I strip the story back and I find the nuggets that always await inside.
Whether that nugget is a lesson I require to live my life purpose, or a lack of information which leads to a fear reaction, or an indication that I've made a decision which is out of integrity.
There's always a nugget.
From here I get to choose once more.
Do I change my story?
Do I change my action?
Do I get more information to consciously choose?
So many options my friend.
My invitation to you today is to start becoming aware of the stories in your head.
Not to judge them or blame them or shame them.
That would just be based on another story.
Instead, just remain curious.
Think of it as a research project.
And once you are aware of your stories, I want you to observe how they impact your actions.
Knowing that your actions ultimately dictate your results.
I also want you to be aware that you will ALWAYS find evidence for your stories, which is why if you approach this from a space of shame, you will become angry and defensive which really nullifies the power of this exercise.
That's all for today.
Let me know.
Drop me a mail or hit me in the comments – what new awareness have you gained from this exercise?
Are you happy with the stories in your head?
Are they empowering and liberating and high vibrational and joyful?
Or not?
No judgement.
I'm not saying you must change them.
I simply want to create some conscious awareness for you today Darling.
The more consciously we live, the more consciously we choose.
For only death is inevitable.
Thriving truly is a conscious choice.
Love ya,
"Anel hears what you are not saying and helps you to tackle the hurt and painful areas of your life that you have buried. She helps you step by step to face your fears and she helps you to uncover all the potholes that you have dug for yourself on your journey. If you want to succeed, you need to work on your blind spots. Anel will uncover these for you! Go and be great!!" Helene Hooper
If you're ready to be deeply heard, if you're ready to see your blind spots, if you're ready to be great, check out Liberation and then ask yourself, if you believed you can be liberated, if you believed you are a powerful being, if you believed you were deserving of receiving ass-kicking support, if you believed that you are worthy of deep happiness, would you apply today?

I have been doing some #cleanup for the #lgkspringfling challenge. Let me tell ya, I did not realize just HOW many photos I have.
Yeah, thousands is an understatement and not all of them are printed yet. sheez and they may not be considering I have over 5000 on 1 flash drive and I have NO idea how many on the other one.
Yes, I'm a shutterbug. I love taking photos almost as much as I love cooking.
While going through these photos I found a few sheets of paper with things written down that my boys had said when they were little. Oh the flood of memories and perfect timing...
Welcome to a Fly on the Wall group post. Today 12 bloggers are inviting you to catch a glimpse of what you'd see if you were a fly on the wall in our homes. Come on in and buzz around my house.
Buzz around, see what you think, then click on these links for a peek into some other homes:
August 19, 2002
Joey (our youngest) was brushing his teeth and Jesse said "hurry up in there, I'm growing a beard out here" LOL Jesse was 10 at the time
May 2, 2002 (our anniversary)
We took the boys to dinner with us, on the way home it was silent and I said "are you guys asleep?
In unison I get "NO"
Then Joey says "No, I'm just resting (pause) I have jumped over the edge of fullness"
We almost ran off the road laughing!
**This was sooo good! Eat it on yogurt, ice cream, fresh fruit, pancakes, waffles, salad or like we did on English Muffin French Toast! I used Thomas' new cinnamon vanilla OMGosh so good!
Fresh Strawberry Sauce
2 1/2 TBSP raw honey
1 lime juiced and zested
Blend into a smooth sauce. store in a glass jar in the refrigerator.
When Joey was 7 or 8 years old his laundry needed to be put away. He had missed a shirt. I said "Joey, put your shirt up"
He picks it up and holds it in the air.
I said "WHAT are you doing?"
He says, "Putting my shirt up"
His father thought this was hilarious, I did not, it had been a long day and I was not in the mood.
Looking back, it was hilarious and quick witted. I knew then I was in trouble with this one.
When Jesse was just a toddler, we were having supper one night. Fried chicken (yes we're Southern to the core) and my husband said
"Hand me a leg"
"Hand me a leg"
Jesse lifts his leg out of the high chair and holds it towards his dad.
We fell out laughing.
Yes, my kids are quick witted and yes, they were a handful at times but gosh I miss those days!
Here is my little man, he's been really sick and I've been at his house keeping him a lot...such a sweetheart.
having breakfast
later asleep in the chair
May 6th, keeping my little buddy! I love him so. Isn't he adorable? YES

Project title: Measurements of Atmospheric Trace Gases Using an Ultraviolet Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (UV-DOAS)
Completed in: 2009
The main purpose of this study was to determine gaseous air pollutants, specifically for NO, NO2, and SO2, at two sites in Seattle via optical absorption using differential optical absorption spectroscopy (UV-DOAS). Ambient concentrations for the first site were measured at the Beacon Hill on March 9-23, 2005, using the UV-DOAS compared with point measurements as a benchmark analysis. Ambient concentrations for the second site were measured at the Olive Way near Interstate-5 (I-5) on September 22- October 2, 2006 using the UV-DOAS.
A secondary data analysis that employed the UV Sentry software program with Savitsky golay drifting filters was used for re-processing absorbance spectra. The new program can quantify the target gases with high linear correlation between NO point and UV DOAS measurements (r = 0.84), intermediate to low for NO2(r = 0.45), and relative low for SO2 (r = 0.15).
The average NO concentrations at the Beacon Hill site (15 ppb) were significant lower than the Olive Way site (192 ppb) (p < 0.001). The Beacon Hill site is not as industrial and urban a site as the Olive Way site. There were 100,000 traffic vehicles at the Olive Way site per day, and approximately 4% of these vehicles were trucks and heavy vehicles. The average temperature was 62.78 F and relative humidity was 67.28 %. The average wind speed was 2.2 mph and wind direction was 265 degrees (from the North) on average.
The primary determinant factors of increasing NO concentrations and PM2.5 levels were associated with traffic volumes, weather conditions---temperature, humidity, wind speed, but not wind direction. The most significant effect on variations of NO concentrations was associated with different days of the week (p < 0.001). The second most significant factor influencing on NO concentrations was temperature, with 1° F decrease contributing to an approximate 18% increase in NO concentrations. Each increase in the number of cars was significantly correlated with a 0.05% increase in NO concentrations (p < 0.001).

2Pac - Can't C Me lyrics
Can't C Me by 2Pac
The blind stares of a million pairs of eyes lookin' hard
But won't realize that they will never see the P
You must be goin' blind
Give me my money in stacks and lace my bitches with 9 figures
Real niggas fingers on nickle plated 9 triggas
Must see my enemies defeated
I'll catch 'em while they coked up and weeded
Open fire, noww them niggas bleedin'
See me in flesh and test and get your chest blown
Straight out tha west, don't get blown
My adversaries cry like ho's, open and shut like doors
Is you a friend or foe? Nigga you ain't know?
They got me stressed out on Death Row
I've seen money but, baby, I gots to gets mo'
You scream and go, 2Pac and I ain't stoppin' till I'm well paid
Bail's, paid now nigga, look what hell made
Visions of cops and sirens, niggas open fire
Buncha thug life niggas on tha rise until I die
Ask me why I'm a boss playa gettin' high
And when I'm rollin' by, niggas can't see me
The stares of a million pairs of eyes
And you'll never realize, you can't see me
Been gettin' worried that these square mothafuckers with nerves
Sayin' they can get with us but picture me gettin' served
My own mama say I'm thugged out, my shit be bumpin' out
Tha record store as if it was a drug house
My lyrics bang like a Crip or Blood, nigga what?
It ain't nothin' but a party when we thug and there I was
A young nigga with heart ain't had a shit to lose
Pullin' my pistol on them fools, you know the rules
D R E you got me heated my words like a penitentiary dick
Hittin' bitches where it's most needed money and weed
Alazay and Hennesse, to my thug niggas in lock down
Witness me bail on these ho's in floss mode
Tha life of a Boss Playa, fuck what ya thought tho'
My enemies deceased, die like a bitch
When my album hit tha streetz, niggas can't see me
Niggas can't see
Which way did he go, George?
Which way did he go?
Which way did he go?
Which way did he go?
You niggas made a mistake
You shoulda never put my rhymes with Dre
Them thug niggas have arrived and it's Judgement Day
Hey, homie if ya feel me, tell them tricks that shot me
That they missed they ain't killed me
I can make a mothafucker shake
Rattle and roll, I'm full of liquor
Thug nigga quick to jab at them ho's
And I can make ya jealous niggas famous
Fuck around with 2Pac and see how good a nigga's aim is
I'm just a rich mothafucker from tha way
If this rappin' bring me money then I'm rappin' till I'm paid
I'm gettin' green like I'm supposed to
Nigga, I holla at these ho's and see how many I can go through
Look to the star and visualize my debut
Niggas know me, playa I gotta stay true
Don't be a dumb mothafucker
'Cause it's crazy after dark
Where the true thug niggas
See ya heart? Niggas can't see me
Yo, check this out, stay off his dick
Niggas can't see
(Right before your eyes I'll disappear from here)
You niggas can't see me
(You can't see me)
I know it's hard nigga, I'm all up in your face but you still can't see
(You can't see me)
All up in your range, but niggas can't see
20/20 vision won't visualize
(I'm in tha flesh, baby but you can't see me)
All the glasses won't help you realize
You blinded, you blinded, you can't c me, you can't c me
Thug life, baby, don't believe everything you read
Alazay and weed
(You can't see me, right before your very eyes, you won't even visualize)
(You can't see me)
Dr. Dre all day, 2Pac, niggas can't see me
I dedicate this to you punk mothafuckers
This one's for you big baby 'coz you bitch ass
Niggas can't see me, niggas can't see me
(You can't see me)
See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, you won't see me
First see me, now ya don't, wanna see me, but ya won't
Come to see me, but ya can't, ohh, you can't see me, you can't see me
Right between your eyes, you'll never realize
Right before your eyes, you won't even realize
Visualize what you can't see, you can't, you can't see me

Originally scheduled for release in 1975, It's All Over Now was supposed to be Pub Rock legends Brinsley Schwarz's commercial breakthrough………….Rescuing their career after the infamous "Brinsley Schwarz Hype" PR disaster, the band had retreated to London's pubs where they built a solid reputation as one of the best live bands on the circuit playing a mix of good time, self-effacing Rock & Roll, Soul and Country Rock, releasing a handful of well received but commercially disastrous LPs. Despite strong reviews and a dedicated fan base, the Brinsleys never managed to escape cult status, yet they influenced a legion of other artists, creating an underground, back-to-basics movement that laid the foundation for Punk Rock. By 1975, there was a seismic change in the air………….the Pub Rock bands were soon to be swept away by Punk bands and there is sense that Brinsley Schwarz knew a change was coming. The band split up not long after the recording sessions and before the record was due for release, seeing the album binned by United Artists (the album almost made the shops in the 80s but was withdrawn just before release) and it has remained officially unreleased ever since. The archive diggers at Mega Dodo have rescued this gem of a record, given it a good dusting down and will be releasing the album on vinyl as originally intended with copies also available on CD and, for that proper retro vibe, on cassette.
For fans of the band, It's All Over Now is an essential purchase……………….the record was recorded with Brinsley Schwarz cohort Dave Edmunds in the producer's chair and a eye on the American market. The album contains several strong Nick Lowe/Ian Gomm penned songs (including the original version of 'Cruel To Be Kind' which was to be a massive hit for Lowe a few years later), a studio version of the live favourite William Bell's 'Private Number, a groovy instrumental Soul stomper 'Do The Cod' and a Reggae version of the Bobby Womack song/Stones big hit 'It's All Over Now'………hey, it was 1975 and everybody was doing at least one Reggae influenced cut on their records. The album is effectively Pub Rock's last stand and harks back to a time in the 70s when rootsy Americana, cod Reggae and blue eyed Soul side to side on the same record was not deemed strange…………………Dr Feelgood had made such a impact on the scene and as Nick Lowe said about the era "When the Pub Rock scene started going downhill, largely due to Dr Feelgood, who were so great they spawned many duff copyists, it was time to move on". It's All Over Now is a record of it's time, how it would have fared if it had been released back in 1975 is anyone guess………………being a Brinsley's record it would have no doubt died on it's arse……but it has aged well for being near 40 years old. One to check out for fans of Graham Parker, Elvis Costello and the ton of bands Brinsley Schwarz's classy blend of no nonsense Rock, Roots and Soul have influenced.
Due for release on 28/04/2017, the album will be available in limited edition orange vinyl (150 copies), black vinyl (350 copies), cassette (50 copies) and CD and should be available from all good record stores……………………check the Mega Dodo website and the usual clued up online stores for info about pre-release orders.

GalPaca Farm is set on 40 acres in the beautiful rolling hills of southwestern Dane county. We are located about 30 miles SW of Madison, WI. We have a great foundation herd and a wonderful Great Pyrenees to keep everyone safe. We have plenty of pasture for the alpacas to roam about freely. We also cut and bale our own hay so we can ensure the best quality feed for our animals. Animals that are boarded here receive the same special attention we give our own, in fact we bought our first two boarders. Our goal is to help you enjoy alpacas as much as we do!

This year's report on the Liberty Bell is different because I'm not blogging live. I've had time to gather my thoughts together in order to share the highs and lows, the serious and not so serious. The short version is I scored 2 wins, 1 loss and 4 draws in the under 1900 section and gained 19 rating points. (Note: I proceeded to give back the 19 points on Thursday night, but that's another story.) The way I started off the tournament I really didn't expect to get a plus score. In fact after the first game I wasn't sure I'd get any score.
Round 1: What's in a name?
In round one I was paired against a player with the name of Broxie Pace, rated 1775. Broxie! What an interesting first name. Is it short for something? Is this a kid with a set of 60s parents who decided to give their child some funky name? A brash kid with moxie, therefore named Broxie? Nope, not a kid. The kids would come later. After all, when don't I play kids? He's a local player who is probably older then me. I'm not going to venture any guesses though. I've never across him before, but he's played in a lot of the big tournaments in Philly such as the World Open and the National Chess Congress.
In preparing to write this story I was curious as to when he started playing. His first tournament was the 1993 World Open and he played in the Open section. That's quite an ambitious foray into tournament chess. He ended out with a rating of 1696 based on his 9 games. In looking at the cross table for the event I wanted to see who he played. If you click on a player's final ranking you get a list of all of the opponents with the results and pre and post ratings. I noticed that one of the players he lost to was an unrated named John Von Neumann. That name seemed very familiar, and then I remembered why. (For math geeks the name John Von Neumann should strike a chord.) He had caused quite a stir at that tournament when it became apparent that he was getting some sort of assistance via computer. This article from Chess Base tells the story far better then I can. Poor Broxie was one of the unfortunate people that "John Von Neuman" was able to beat.
However I will not wax poetic and mourn over his misfortune from 15 years ago, especially considering what a pounding I got from him. Though part of the pounding was my own damn fault. Once again I allowed myself to be overly intimidated by a sac that wasn't as deadly as it seemed. Here is the damage.
Round Two: Bye Bye, Bye!
Having lost round one, I was already having to deal with the annoying prospect of the "Please Wait" in round two. I was the second lowest rated in the two day schedule, and we had an odd number. I considered taking a preemptive round four bye to avoid getting a bye in round two. Round four was the last game of the fast time control before merging into the slower schedule. Considering how many implosions I've had going into the last round of the first day, it might have been a good idea. However the chess addict in me wanted to play all seven rounds. I figured I'd take my chances with getting a game from a bye player in another section. It almost blew up in my face.
I hadn't noticed the pairings for the Under 1700 section so I thought the only other player with a bye was an 1100 in the under 1500 section. I wanted to play someone closer to me in rating. One of the tournament directors misunderstood me, and thought I didn't want to play the player in the Under 1700 section who got the bye. He told her I didn't want to play. In the meantime I'm trying to find someone who was hanging around and might want to play as a house player against me. Then I found out about the player in the under 1700 section who was also looking for a game. She and her dad were playing in the under 1700 section. I asked her dad where she was. He wasn't sure. Either on the mezzanine or balcony level.
It became a game of cat and mouse. I think we kept missing each other. I'd be upstairs, and she'd be downstairs or visa-versa. Finally one of the NYC parents I know told me she just went upstairs. I dashed up the escalator, hoping to catch her before somebody told her I was downstairs. We finally found each other and got to play. Since she was being moved into my section for the round, she got to keep her bye point regardless of what happened in the game. If I lost the game then I would be out the point. I didn't really care. I seriously didn't think having the full point would make much difference if I did end out losing or drawing.
Alice and I have played each other three times at the Marshall Chess Club. I'm 2-1 against her. The games I won against her have been tight, but the clock has been a factor each time. Since we started late we had to deduct an extra five minutes from each side. She was totally outplaying me and won a pawn. Then she hung a piece. It still wasn't going to be easy for me since she got a second pawn for the piece and it was down on my third rank. I hung the piece right back several moves later. We reached this position. I'm down a pawn.
I'm not sure what I played at this point. I think I may have played either Rb4 0r Ke2. I offered a draw which she took. She had a minute and a half. I had 30 seconds. I was surprised she took the draw. Afterwards she admitted afterwards that she was nervous about the clock. Considering how we both blundered away pieces perhaps a draw was the correct result. Note to my end game fan readers: Feel free to offer some analysis. If time is not a factor can Black convert this?
Round Three: $80 down the toilet. (Not my $80)
This tournament wasn't getting off to the smoothest start. Getting smashed in the first round and eking out a draw in the second round doesn't have the makings of a good tournament. However things could have been worse. I could have been like my third round opponent. He started off .5 -1.5 in the three day schedule, and decided to re-enter the two day schedule. He started off the two day schedule 0-2. That's not the results one wants when he pays another $80 to re-enter. (Don't get me started on re-entries. Waste of money!!) I guess the 0-2 explains why he refused my draw after after 38...Qxd4+ to reach this position.
We fiddled around with our queens for another 13 moves and then he finally accepted my second draw offer. I try not to make a second draw offer before my opponent has made one of his own. Repeated draw offers though technically not against the rules are annoying. In this case the position was going nowhere. I figured 13 moves after my first draw offer, I was justified in making a second draw offer. At that point he accepted the draw.
I still had two more rounds to play on this first day. If you thought all of that was fun. Wait until you see what happened next. Stay tuned for part two.

Thank you, Jefferson Siegel, for your courageous Occupy Wall Street coverage. Your on-the-ground, up-close photographs and narrative are superb. Can't help noticing the contrast with the remoteness of The New York Times's coverage of Sat., Oct. 1.

Re "With nets, spray and force, police crack down on march" (news article, Sept. 29):
Thanks, Jefferson! This is the most heartwarming thing to happen to New York City in years! I'm so grateful for the sincerity, courage, compassion and unselfish, committed, beautiful people forming into some kind of community, new society or something of what we could be as a people if we tried…if we wanted…instead of feeling powerless, alienated, isolated, depressed, fearful and downtrodden, as so many of us have for so long. That's what the system wants us to be — instead of alive, defiant, caring. Love thy neighbor!
I'm meeting people from around the country and my own neighborhood down in "Liberty Square" that I've never seen or talked to before. It's so incredible! Lovely! I hope we find a way to continue this social experiment, this uprising, this gift! What an opportunity to create justice we so badly need!

Re "With nets, spray and force, police crack down on march" (news article, Sept. 29):
On May 4, Mike Bloomberg promoted a work of sculpture by a jailed Chinese artist, a former New York City street artist, Ai Weiwei.
"This is a message from America to the whole world that we are the place where people can come and express themselves," Mr. Bloomberg said. "China would be well served to listen to our message and to copy us."
Mr. Bloomberg, no stranger to criticism as the elected leader of a fractious city, said, "Freedom is our competitive advantage," and called free expression "the most valuable of all New York City's riches."
Are these mass false arrests an example of your ideas about freedom, Mr. Mayor?

Re "C.B. 2 angered after N.Y.U. goes to the media first" (news article, Sept. 29):
Alicia Hurley, a New York University vice president, is dismayed by the fixation on "process over substance." The process she objects to is the democratic one, where voters, taxpayers and elected representatives use the mechanisms of government to evaluate and oppose radical changes to a residential community.
It is not surprising that since the introduction of N.Y.U.'s 2031 plan, process has been continually thwarted, sidestepped or ignored.
N.Y.U. is a billion-dollar, for-profit corporation, with a developer's dream of 2 million square feet of commercial real estate. Parks, playgrounds, housing and residential quality of life must be sacrificed. So "process" is just another victim of the bulldozer.

Re "C.B. 2 angered after N.Y.U. goes to the media first" (news article, Sept. 29):
The informative article appearing in last week's issue about Community Board 2's anger with N.Y.U. contains a statement from university V.P. Alicia Hurley:
"It is hard for us not to notice the lack of civility with which we are treated when we do go before the community board."
How civil was it for the university to make a presentation at a meeting where the N.Y.U. presenter had no answers to our questions and, to the best of my knowledge, has not yet answered a letter from C.B. 2 that contained pages of questions?
If we didn't "fixate" on process over substance, the buildings would all be torn down by now!

Re "Samuel Menashe, 85, poet belatedly dubbed a master" (obituary, Sept. 29):
Thank you, Albert Amateau, for that obituary you did on Samuel Menashe. I knew him growing up since he moved into that railroad flat you described in 1956. He lived upstairs from my family's apartment. I was 6 at the time.
I so much remembered him as a young, articulate and intellectual man. My mother would often sew his buttons and iron his shirts when he would go out to a special event. She would stop him in the hallway and, in her motherly way, say, "Where are you going with that shirt like that?" He would smile and reluctantly take it off and then thank her profusely for her kind deed.
I moved out in 1973 and did not see him until many years later when he was part of a group of residents who were opposing the demolition of the Tunnel Garage on the corner of Thompson and Broome Sts.
Thank you for telling his life story. I had no idea he was such an accomplished poet and had lived such a full life. He was a true gentleman and a wonderful human being.
That poem you quoted at the end really brought back the bathtub in the kitchen with the "cat feet" for me.

Re "City Council, Chin pull the plug on Bowery old-timer" (news article, Sept. 22):
Despite the tremendous outpouring of letters and testimonies from some of our most respected community groups, preservationists, cultural institutions, residents and business leaders, the City Council rushed through a vote to strip 135 Bowery of its designation as a New York City landmark. We're still reeling from the senseless destruction of 35 Cooper Square, and the Council's decision is a stunning, cynical deathblow to our city's oldest thoroughfare.
Ironically, this comes just weeks before the Bowery is expected to be named to the National Register of Historic Places. Located on the most well-preserved stretch of the Bowery, across the street from the iconic Stanford White-designed Bowery Savings Bank and near five other Federal-era structures, 135 Bowery is one of our oldest structures.
Perhaps because she herself submitted testimony favoring the landmarking of 135 Bowery at last year's hearing, Councilmember Chin did not really address the merits of the Landmarks Preservation Commission's designation, nor the fact that the Department of Buildings deemed it a sound structure. Chin chose instead to position the issue as a Sophie's choice in which affordable office space and jobs could be created only if the building is sacrificed for the construction of a tower. The underlying assumption here is that this is the only possible location for an office tower.
Ms. Chin's concern for small businesses ["Small businesses ask City Council for assistance," news article, Sept. 22] is welcome, but her aggressive effort to demolish No. 135 will only embolden developers and accelerate the already rapid displacement of the Bowery's jewelry, lighting and restaurant supply stores. Councilmember Diana Reyna rightly points out that there is a preferential push for new businesses rather than help for the existing small businesses.
Because Ms. Chin speaks of the post-9/11 struggles and knows that tourism is a driving force in our recovery, she should recognize the aesthetic, historical and architectural value in preserving this nearly 200-year-old structure. Since the Bowery is the convergence point for Chinatown, Little Italy, Noho, the East Village and the Lower East Side, maintaining its historic character and resources should thus be obvious to all.
We encourage Councilmember Chin to work for a larger vision that would better serve the entire community. We ask her to work with the building owner, First American International Bank, and preservationists to find another way to preserve 135 Bowery. Given bank C.E.O. Peter Yau's prominent position as steering committee chairperson of the Chinatown Business Improvement District, the bank should also be working with the community to find a just solution. Because Margaret Chin has heretofore been a strong, helpful ally in the Bowery preservation effort, we trust that she will actively work to find a solution that achieves the goals of all concerned.
Having recently lost 35 Cooper Square, the Bowery must not lose yet another of its historic resources just as it prepares to be named to the National Register of Historic Places.
A correction: 135 Bowery is not the oldest building on the Bowery. That distinction is held by the Edward Mooney house at 18 Bowery at Pell St. Built in 1785, it is Manhattan's oldest brick house.

Kent State's AT&T Classroom will be flooded with children this summer during its annual technology camp sessions.
Kent State's Research Center for Educational Technology hosts the sessions in its AT&T Classroom in Moulton Hall, room 034. The first session begins June 5.
"Our goal, in terms of actually offering the camps, is part of the University's mission toward outreach in the community," Annette Kratcoski, RCET's director, says. "We want people in the community to have a place where their children can come and experience all of the great things Kent State has to offer."
Kratcoski has been a part of the program for nearly a decade and oversees all of the moving parts of the camps.
The camps are designed to connect students interested in technology with tools and skills they can use throughout their time in school. They're also a great way for students to meet others interested in similar activities.
"Those 21st century skills of creativity, thinking critically, collaborating and communicating are encompassed and emphasized in all of our camps," Kratcoski says.
While each camp has the overarching theme of collaboration and creativity, there are different technology focuses depending on age.
Students have the choice of LEGO WeDo Robotics; LEGO Education WeDo 2.0; 3-D Modeling, Coding and Programming; Robotics and Programming with Ozobot Bit; Sphero SPRK Robotics and Game Design and Programming.
The sessions are made of 12 to 15 students so the instructor, Thomas McNeal, can have focused, individual learning time with each student.
McNeal, a program director at the RCET, has been the instructor of the camps since they began.
"This summer, we're going to be a lot more into the robots and coding," McNeal says. "I try to make it so it's a fun time for the students, but they're really learning something that they can take back to school with them later."
McNeal teaches the younger student sessions the basics of iPad and computer use, such as how to save a file to a USB or email a project file to their parents. As the sessions progress, they use the different technologies to apply the basics.
The older students can interact with more advanced software and robotics technologies. With the LEGO WeDo camps, students can register to include a set to take home after the camp is over. The Ozobot Bit camp's registration fee includes the purchase of the student's robot to take home.
Last year, there were 144 registrations for the summer camps. Registration for this summer opened on March 31 with many registrations already coming in. Follow the link to register.

- Camera will not turn on
- Lens won't open/close
- No flash
- Camera will not take pictures
- Computer does not detect the camera
- Display has been damaged
- Top button does not work
The camera doesn't seem to be able to turn on.
Before delving into the guts of your camera, try holding down the power button for several seconds to see if the camera will turn on.
If your camera still won't turn on, try charging the battery again. If this doesn't work, you might have a bad battery that needs replacing. Refer to the Battery Installation Guide for the steps in replacing the battery.
It is possible nothing is happening because the display is bad. Check to see if the power indicator LED is on. If the LED is on, you might have a faulty LCD screen. Use the LCD Repair Guide to replace the display.
If all other possibilities have been ruled out, the camera may have a faulty motherboard. Look to the Motherboard Repair Guide for instructions how to replace the motherboard.
The lens is stuck in the open or closed position.
Attempt to clean any dirt or debris that may be obstructing the lens cover.
Try charging the battery and then see if the lens will open or close.
If the battery is charged and there is no visible dirt clogging the lens, the gears or motor mounts may need to be replaced. Unfortunately, the lens of this model can not be disassembled and thus must be completely replaced. See the Lens Repair Guide.
The flash won't activate automatically.
Make sure the flash is toggled in your camera settings. It may have gotten switched off.
The battery may not have enough power to use the flash. Try charging the battery. If it still does not flash, you might need to replace the battery.
If the above solutions do not work, the flash may be physically broken. See Flash Repair Guide to replace the flash.
The camera will not save or take anymore pictures.
Your memory card might be filled to capacity. Try replacing it with another memory card or emptying it by transferring the photos to a computer.
Some memory cards can be "locked" so you can't interact with them. Remove the memory card and make sure it is unlocked. There should be a switch on the memory card that will indicate whether it is locked.
You connected the camera to the computer, but the computer doesn't say it is.
The camera should be on before the computer will detect it. Make sure it is on when you connect it.
Charge the battery while it is plugged into the computer. The computer should detect the camera if it has sufficient charge.
Try using a replacement cord to connect the camera and the computer.
If none of the above fixed it, the motherboard might need to be replaced. See the Motherboard Repair Guide for how to do this.
The camera's display is visibly cracked or is not displaying properly.
The outer cover may just be damaged. If so, just replace the back casing using the Casing Repair Guide.
If the LCD is not working correctly or is damaged, it needs to either be reconnected or replaced entirely. Refer to the LCD Repair Guide for instructions on how to do this.
No matter how hard you press, the button just won't respond.
Spray compressed air on the top button in question to remove dust and other particles that may have collected in it.
The top button might just be broken. Use the Button Repair Guide to fix it.

No need to worry if you've been naughty this Christmas.
Even if you've been struck off Santa's list, Russell can always play Saint Nick with this porter, which has been cheekily spiced with cinnamon, all-spice and nutmeg, and then aged on oak chips.
This beer is dark crimson in colour with a dense, off-white head.
There's an earthy, subtly smoked base to the aroma, which has a savoury depth and a creamy vanilla scent over the top, along with a little all-spice and nutmeg.
The spices come through more in the mouth, with cinnamon and anise combining with the vanilla for a gently fruity effect. Bitterness slowly builds alongside sturdy roasted flavours and some subtle, herbal hops. As the flavours fade the bitterness becomes more robust and the start of a long dryness kicks in, which features subtle aftertastes of tarry licorice and molasses.
Porter is deemed to be the lighter cousin of stout, but the Naughty & Spiced is rich and rounded, and massages the jaw and throat with a gentle warmth.
I think this would work really well with richer Cantonese dishes that employ five-spice powder, particularly ones using beef. Keeping it more simple, the spiced German Pfeffernüsse cookies would also make a good match.

Despite the population of my fair city (nearly 72,000), I'm evidently not living anywhere near the clever legions of bloggers meeting up hither and thither and making real friendships around the globe. They are apparently all running around having fun lunches, meeting for kidless, husbandless drinks, and making new friends at kid birthday parties.
Clearly, I haven't properly sold you on the joys and beauties to behold in Bellingham.
First, where is Bellingham, WA?
Bellingham is only an hour South of the Canadian Border (only 90 minutes from cosmopolitand & exciting Vancouver, British Columbia). And 90 minutes North of trendy and PC Seattle (you know, the place with the grunge music and pretty skyline).
Second, what does a person do for fun in Bellingham?
Our visitor's bureau says it best:
"We are known for our friendly people, authentic communities, cultural attractions and a clean environment. Adventures from the relaxing to the exhilarating are yours, all in a setting of stunning beauty."
You read it here. Adventures. Relaxing AND exhilarating.
And if sailboats and gorgeous lakes, rivers, and mountains aren't your thing, how about fabulous local music?
Prefer drinks overlooking the gorgeous bay? How about this?
Or, there's always hippie watching in our gorgeous Fairhaven District.
Bellingham + CrankMama = FUNNNNNNN
Barring this, perhaps we can meet at Blogher 07 (the one in Chicago).
P.S. Emma is coming to see me in January -- woo hoo!!

Shopping for General Office Supplies is becoming very cost-effective with the penetration of Internet. A site visitor can notice that the weekly discount sections of the office products websites is getting updated with extra products to offer even more choice to home office and business shoppers, not limited to a particular geographical territory.
There's a certain standard we have build for ourselves, and with the help of modern technology and ingenuity, lots of useful things have been developed. One is the meteoritic rise of eCommerce – a perfect way of sustaining the society created by our ingenious mind.
Let's discuss some sectors where our eCommerce industry has found great acceptance, whilst making use of General Office Supplies –
- Finance: Though this department is most sought after, it is hardly in touch with reality of amount of General Office Supplies used by them, particularly accountants. Besides the normal extremely used computers, a lot of consumables have to be used for maintaining records. Some of the most expendables are printer paper and labels.
- Food & Beverage: Ambience is critical for F&B industry. Variables such as color, texture, grade, finish, size and shape are all things that must be considered to make the most of your restaurant before your purchase General Office Supplies. Each and every element should match with restaurant furniture and the theme of the building or setting in which it will be used.
- Personal: A fashion fiasco? Dig your work-station drawer to find office supplies coming to your rescue! Perhaps, initially it may seem a ridiculous idea, though you would be surprised to find out that even your boss might be using a couple of these tricks or variations!!
Some quick temporary fixes to save your day:
- Staplers – One of the most handy office supplies to fix some of the most embarrassing fashion emergencies experienced.
- Markers – A blotch acquired during the lunch, can be hidden with usage of appropriate color marker.
- Envelope Openers – A bad hair day, plus a meeting with your most important client, you can use your envelope opener to fasten your hair into a bun. Presenting a revolutionary fashionable hair accessory, with gold and silver plated designs!
To help us with the modern day life and problems that we encounter in our lives, here's a guide to Office Supplies Social Etiquette:
- Green is Smart Spend
- Leave a Big Future-Not a Big Footprint
- Be a Star-Buy Energy Star
- Get Solarized
- Use. Re-use. Recycle
- Freshness with Conscience Cleaning
- Visualize, Digitize, Maximize
From a global research, it has been noted that of the $250 billion spent per year globally on powering computers, only about 15% is spent computing power – the rest is wasted idling. Moreover, these switched off electronics use 40% of the energy via the power outlet! Companies are setting extremely demanding specifications for their product manufacturing, which means that there's less drain on Nature. This in turn works towards improving bottom-line.
