You've invested the time and funds investing in all these diet regimens as well as weight-loss, weight loss supplements, which work for a quick time, yet you can not appear to maintain the weight off and get the toned body that the stars possess when they carry out the diets and also take the pills. Why is that? I'll inform you why … hsd deactivate
It is actually because you take your "health and wellness" seriously. You could be stunned at what you only check out. You might be thinking I thought I was intended to take my wellness truly! What do you imply by that? Well, yes, you are actually meant to become aware concerning your wellness as well as what enters into your body, however what regarding your physical fitness? Many people will certainly rather get along a crash diet than take care of the fitness element of the equation. Health and wellness resembles peanut butter as well as jelly– they only fit. Yes you can go on a diet plan to drop weight, however if you never work out, and never placed fitness in, you will definitely never build muscle and also be toned. Bear in mind, having more muscle burns much more fats. As well as yes you may work out at the gym daily or carry out cardio everyday, however if you consume awfully that will not precisely operate either.
Focusing on both your fitness and health is a total payment to your body as well as your wellbeing.

Pros have constantly claimed that the most effective diet plan is the one you may follow. And also I concur. It's certainly not about eating any kind of one, particular food items to always keep the pounds off. Fitness is about balancing your life. To obtain specialized, mention your target is to burn fat. Well practically, it does not really matter what you consume. For example, you can easily consume burgers as well as still burn fat. Yes, I merely mentioned that. The catch is you merely have to eat it in moderation. An order of hamburger and french fries from your beloved convenience food joint though is actually looked at fatty food. So the complication there is that even though you eat the more-than-1100 calories in a Large Mac computer combo and are happy meanwhile, the fact is that these foods items appear to create you desire to consume much more. Actually, a research published in the Publication of Professional Investigation presented that these meals up your hunger for days after eating fatty, fatty foods items. That's why specialists mention it is actually far better to eat all-around foods to improve on your fitness. All in all, the notification is quite straightforward. Focusing on each your health and also your fitness is actually the only technique to go. It is actually the roadmap for a leaner, more toned, fitter and also healthier you.

Early in His ministry, recorded in John 4, Jesus came weary to Jacob's well in Samaria, and asked the woman there for a drink. It was noon, "the sixth hour." They proceeded to talk, and He offered her living water. "Whoever drinks of the water I give him will never be thirsty forever. The water I will give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
Less than three years later, also at "the sixth hour," nailed to a cross, bearing the weight of my sin and the sin of all His own through the ages, "the Roman soldiers offered him wine to drink, mixed with gall, but…he would not drink it." (Matthew 27:34,45) Jesus refused to numb his agony or his mind so He could fully accomplish what He had come to earth to do.
It was not until "the ninth hour," after three hours of darkness where He bore God's full wrath, after He split open the way to God, seen in the temple curtain being torn in two, that He would drink. "Knowing that all was now finished, [Jesus] said, 'I thirst.'" He was given a sponge full of sour wine on a hyssop branch, enough so He could call out in a loud voice, "It is finished!" and breathe His last. (John 19:28-30; Luke 23:44-46)
Jesus, who refused to drink until He had satisfied justice for our sin and sake, offers living water to satisfy us forever. What a Savior!
Whatever my hour, Lord, may I remember Your refusal, remember "It is finished," and drink deep draughts of Your living water, sated with full satisfaction in You.

Life of a student: Erika
What are your ministry goals?
I want to bring people to Christ to expand the Kingdom of God and have a deeper relationship with him.
What degree do you want to complete?
I am going to complete a Christian Ministries degree. My interest is in counselling so the professional studies electives I'll take will be counselling related.
How have the practical ministry opportunities provided by ABC assisted you in ministry?
I would have to say it has helped in so many ways. First off it has helped me put into practice what I've learned in the class as well as to be more open minded to people, to what they believe and do it without judging them.
Practical ministries opportunities has opened me up to see people as children of God instead of people that don't have value; the invisible of our society. There are so many people who have spiritual needs they don't see they have and I've been challenged to figure out how to bring the gospel to them where they are right now.
Why did you choose ABC?
It's a combination of my own challenges that I have faced in the story of my life and a conversation I had with a leader at my church. She talked about Jesus and all the things she had learned at ABC and it motivated me to look into the college.
How has your time at ABC influenced your relationship with God?
My answer to this is a bit of a circle. My time here has challenged me in my personal life, which has brought me closer to God. It is so important to me to see God for who he is not who I want or need him to be. In this process of having my understanding opened I feel I am becoming more Christ-like, which in turn is challenging me more in my personal life. I still have further to go but I'm excited I'm on the right track.
I just want to add a note here that one of the areas of spiritual gifting God has opened up in me in this process of growth is I find I have the ability to encourage people who are struggling in their faith. God is using me and this is a rich blessing to me.
What are the top reasons someone should attend ABC?
Five reasons that come to mind are: To have a deeper understanding of Christ; To find out who they are in Christ; To Gain some direction in what God may have in store for their life; To learn to stand firm on what they believe; and To gain tools and understanding that can be put into practice and be a change in the world for the kingdom of God.
What ministry or spiritual experiences have shaped your life?
One experience I had was when I travelled with the ABC's "Youth Alive in Christ" team.
During the summer the college sends out a select number of students to different camps and churches in Western Canada. I was fortunate enough to join the team. Over the summer as I wore different hats, ministry wise, I learned: how to trust God in a leadership position; that God is always working in the people around me and in myself; that God is in all things, even the little insignificant things; that it's not about the singing, it is about the heart and the attitude that someone comes with to lead the singing; and I also learned to trust in myself, God has given me gifts that he knows I can handle such as Leading worship.
Feel free to share any information about yourself that you feel defines who you are and your relationship with God or your ministry.
One thing I see about myself is my relationship with God is growing. God is calling me to seek him out so I can discover what his purpose is for my life. To know that Christ is in me and changing me is exciting. He is changing both my head (knowledge) and my heart (the things I do and relationships). How can I not praise him?
Who am I? Things I have and am discovering about myself are: My favorite verse: 1 John 4:8; I care more about others than myself; it breaks my heart to see people that I am close to hurting; I am open to helping people when I have time; no matter what the situation is, I still need to love; my family values are important to me and the sacrifice that they made for me to be in Canada, I know God can move mountains; I do my best to accept everybody for who they are; and I work hard for what I have and I don't mind sharing what I have with others because I know that God is faithful.
My ministry is: I care for people; I see what I can do to help people; I have a heart for service; I am, most of the time, open to listen to what is on a person's heart; I seek to see each person as a child of God, to see past the brokenness and the hurt and the bad choices, and to rejoice in the good things that happen in their lives; and I have a passion to see youth come to Christ and to see them take up positions as leaders.

It's a great time to take a drive or road trip in Utah. It doesn't matter where you go. Everything is green and the entire state is beautiful.
Yesterday we took a leisurely trip up the Mirror Lake highway to gaze at the scenery. I always find the spring snowpack in the Uintas to be quite perplexing markedly different from the Wasatch. The higher peaks are wind raked all winter long and the terrain is very steep in places, so continuous snow coverage is a bit hard to find. Some of the better coverage was on the peaks west of the highway, including Mt. Watson, the highest peak in the photo below.
Sometimes there was better snow cover in the trees than on the peaks, as was the case around Moosehorn Lake, which was still frozen over and surrounded by continuous snow cover. In contrast, much of the snow is gone from 12,479 foot Hayden Peak, although there are some lines to be had if you are so willing.
If you've ever stopped at the Provo River Falls overlook in the summer, it's a nice spot and often you can wade into or across the river. Not yesterday. The runoff is going full bore, leading to a spectacular cascade.

Lorna Schofield nominated to U.S. District Court0
AAP staff report
WASHINGTON (April 25, 2012) — President Obama formally nominated Lorna Schofield to a seat on the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. If confirmed, she will be the first person of Filipino descent to serve as an Article III judge in American history.
Obama nominated Schofield on Wednesday along with other District Court nominees Terrence G. Berg, Jesus G. Bernal, Shelly Deckert Dick.
"I am honored to put forward these highly qualified candidates for the federal bench," Obama said. "They will be distinguished public servants and valuable additions to the United States District Court."
Schofield graduated from Indiana University magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa and went on to earn her law degree from NYU Law School, where she served as an editor of the NYU Law Review. She became a partner at Debevoise & Plimpton in 1991, after working in previous positions at the law firm of Clearly, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.
Asian Pacific Americans are significantly underrepresented in the federal judiciary. In the New York City area, approximately ten percent of the population is Asian Pacific American. However, of the over 90 active and senior Article III judges currently serving the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York, none is Asian Pacific American in the Southern District and only one is Asian Pacific American in the Eastern District.
"We commend President Obama for nominating Lorna Schofield to be a federal district court judge on the Southern District of New York," said Mee Moua, president and executive director of the Asian American Justice Center, member of the Asian American Center for Advancing Justice. "Ms. Schofield has the experience to be an excellent judge in the Southern District of New York, and her confirmation will add much needed diversity to the federal bench in New York. Both the Obama Administration and Senator Schumer should be commended for their ongoing effort to put forward well-qualified, diverse nominees for the federal judiciary."
Congresswoman Judy Chu (CA-32), Chair of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC), and Congressman Mike Honda (CA-15), CAPAC Chair Emeritus, applauded the nomination.
"Lorna Schofield is an exceptionally well qualified nominee with the intellect, experience, and credentials to serve as an Article III judge," Chu said. "If confirmed, Ms. Schofield would become the first Filipino-American federal judge in U.S. history and would be serving in a district where nearly one in ten residents identifies as Asian American or Pacific Islander.
"I commend Senator Chuck Schumer for recommending Ms. Schofield, and thank President Obama for his firm commitment to promoting diversity in our federal judiciary. Over the past three years, the President and Senate leadership have literally doubled the number of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders on the federal bench to ensure that our courts reflect the populations they serve. I urge the Senate to move forward with Ms. Schofield's confirmation to the District Court for the Southern District of New York."
"As CAPAC Chair Emeritus, I am proud to support the Obama Administration's efforts to nominate experienced candidates like Ms. Schofield to the judiciary," Honda said. "I thank Senator Schumer and President Obama for their leadership with her nomination, and I now urge the Senate to act swiftly in confirming her to ensure a more diverse representation of AAPIs on the federal bench."
"We congratulate Lorna Schofield on her nomination to serve as a federal district court judge on the Southern District of New York," said Nimesh M. Patel, president of the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA). "She is an exceptionally well-qualified nominee, and we thank both President Obama and Senator Schumer for putting her name forward to serve on such a distinguished court. If confirmed by the Senate, Ms. Schofield will be the first Filipino American in the history of the United States to serve as an Article III judge."
Ms. Schofield was the first Asian Pacific American to chair the Litigation Section of the American Bar Association, which is the ABA's largest section with over 60,000 members, and has also served as a member of the ABA's Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary. For almost 20 years, Ms. Schofield has been a litigation partner at the firm of Debevoise & Plimpton LLP in New York, where she has focused on white collar criminal defense and general civil litigation.
She became the firm's first minority partner in 1991 and since January 2012 has served as Of Counsel. Prior to joining Debevoise, she was an Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York (Criminal Division) for four years. In 2008, Ms. Schofield was named one of the nation's 50 most influential minority lawyers by the National Law Journal.

News from the Pool...
Well the summer is pretty much over now. It's time to start putting in some serious work in the pool. Since the beginning of September, I have been training with Fermoy Swimming Club, but it's not really enough hours, though it is very good quality training. With the help of my coach and the manager of the swimming pool, I have managed to secure free swimming until this time next year. So, anytime that there is a public session on, I can just swipe my card and swim... This is fantastic news as the cost of all of the pool sessions starts to mount up and it can get hard to finance when you're only fifteen!

Dr. Michael Nelson, a recognized Presidential scholar and the Fulmer Professor of Political Science at Rhodes, has published Trump: The First Two Years (Miller Center Studies on the Presidency, January 2019). It provides a nonpartisan analysis of Donald Trump's first two years as president, starting with his election and transition in 2016, as well as offers an up-to-date assessment of this still unfolding story.
The book is a sequel to Nelson's Trump's First Year published in 2018. According to Nelson, the purpose of his new book is not to argue that Trump is a good president or a bad president, but rather to assess his first two years in office in light of more than two centuries of presidential history.
Among the courses Nelson teaches at Rhodes is Political Science 340-The American Presidency. He also is a senior fellow at the University of Virginia's Miller Center, which is a nonpartisan research center specializing in presidential scholarship, public policy, and political history.
Trump: The First Two Years is available in paperback and e-book through the University of Virginia Press at https://www.upress.virginia.edu/title/5411

Long-time readers will know of my love for Day of the Dead makeup. So it was with great gusto that I prepared for a Dias de los Muertos party this weekend just gone at Nottingham's excellent Contemporary gallery.
However, I subscribe to Marty Neumeier's motto that when everyone zigs, you zag. With all the city's arty types painting their face my humble efforts would likely go unnoticed. But after a bit of a think and a cry of 'Get to the chopper!' I decided to tart up an old Predator mask I had lying around.
I am pretty pleased with the result. It's really nothing special - just white acrylic paint over a black base, with a coat of gloss varnish sprayed over the top. The design was first sketched in white pencil then hand-painted. Up close you can still see the brushstrokes, which I quite like as it retains an honesty about the manufacturing process.
Remember; if it bleeds, we can kill it!

Cody Hamman celebrates 30 years of Beetlejuice with some Film Appreciation.
For years, I had myself convinced that the Arnold Schwarzenegger / Danny DeVito comedy Twins was the first movie I ever saw in a theatre. It wasn't until recently that I realized Twins was released in 1989, and I have memory of going to see director Tim Burton's supernatural comedy Beetlejuice when it was released in 1988. Looking over lists of mid-'80s releases, I don't (yet) have any memories of going to see anything that came before Beetlejuice, so this film may well have been the first one I ever saw on the big screen. If that's the case, it's very fitting that this would have been my gateway into the world of cinema, because it's a great representation of the sort of entertainment I have dedicated most of my time to. It's a gleeful celebration of the strange and macabre, packed with incredible, practical special effects that were used to bring some ghastly sights to the screen.
Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis star as Adam and Barbara Maitland, a young couple who live in a large old farmhouse in the quaint little town of Winter River, Connecticut. After the Maitlands die in a car accident, they learn that their spirits have to spend the next 125 years lingering in their home. If they try to step outside, they drop into an otherworldly desert filled with giant, man-eating (and stop-motion) sandworms. Staying in their house wouldn't be so bad, if not for the living people who move into the place two months after their deaths.
Sharing the house with the Maitlands now are insufferable city folk Charles and Delia Deetz (Jeffrey Jones and Catherine O'Hara), who are as different from the Maitlands as you can get. The Maitlands loved their old fashioned home; Delia quickly gets to work turning the house into a modern art nightmare with the help of her decorator, former paranormal researcher Otho (Glenn Shadix). Adam loved Winter River so much that he has crafted a model replication of the entire place. Charles wants to buy out the whole town with land developer Maxie Dean (Robert Goulet) and turn it into a theme park.
The only Deetz Adam and Barbara can tolerate, and the only person who can even see them as they lurk around in the house, is the teenage Lydia (Winona Ryder) - and when I first saw this movie when I was 4, who could have predicted that I would turn out to be a teenager who wasn't far off from being a male Lydia. She's brooding but caring, she has dark sensibilities, considers herself strange and unusual, she feels utterly alone and wants to plummet off the local bridge. Yeah, Lydia and teenage Cody definitely could have been friends. The Maitlands are able to make a connection with Lydia, deepened by the fact that they hadn't been able to have children of their own.
But Charles and Delia have got to go. With the help of the Handbook for the Recently Deceased, which apparently we all get when we die, Adam and Barbara go over their options with an afterlife caseworker, do what they can to scare off the Deetzes themselves, and even contact a ghostly "bio-exorcist" who specializes in scaring people away, setting up demonic possessions, and eating / swallowing anything you might want him to eat / swallow. That fellow is called Betelgeuse, and contacting him turns out to be a big mistake.
If the Deetzes were more normal, the Maitlands wouldn't need Betelgeuse's help to scare them, because who would want to stay in a house after the spirits of the dead have taken control of their body and made them perform a Harry Belafonte tune, a performance that ends with the shrimp in their bowls turning into fingers on monstrous hands that grab them by the face and knock them to the ground? Once I'm grabbed by a shrimp monster, I'm leaving town. Not the Deetzes, though. That event just makes them want to capture the Maitlands and exploit them.
So we have Betelgeuse hanging around, and this guy isn't exactly helpful, because he has his own perverted agenda. He wants to marry the underage Lydia. He's a major creep, but as played by Michael Keaton he is also hilarious, bouncing across the screen with manic energy, acting inappropriately and letting loose with angry outbursts. I've hardly watched Beetlejuice in the last twenty-five years, but many of Betelgeuse's scenes remained in my mind as clearly as if I had watched them the day before. The moment when hocks a loogie inside his coat to save it for later, his claim that he has watched The Exorcist 167 times (and finds it funnier every time). Betelgeuse takes up residence in Adam's Winter River model for much of the film, and there's a scene where he kicks over a tree and yells up at Adam, "Nice f--kin' model!" He then squeezes his crotch, which lets out a honking sound... It's a funny moment now, and it's a moment I loved even when I was 4.
Burton and I have kind of parted ways as his career has gone out, but Beetlejuice was him at peak brilliance. He brought this wacky story to the screen with unique, jaw-dropping style, achieving a look that's simultaneously low rent and amazing. No other director in the world would have made this film in the way Burton made it. Aiding him in achieving greatness with this one was the awesome cast he assembled, and composer Danny Elfman, who allowed Burton to pair his imagery with one of the most memorable scores of all time.
Beetlejuice originated as a very dark idea from Larry Wilson and Michael McDowell, but once rewritten by Warren Skaaren and filtered through Burton's vision, it reached the screen in a state of perfection, even if the finished film is much lighter than Wilson and McDowell intended. Keaton's Betelgeuse just seems a lot more entertaining to me than a homicidal rapist winged demon. I can tell you that 4-year-old Cody wouldn't have enjoyed the movie nearly as much if that had been the Betelgeuse on the screen in front of him instead of the undead used car salesman the character ended up being.
Monsters, ghouls, old school special effects, a mixture of darkness and humor - this is the sort of thing I love, so I hope Beetlejuice was the first movie I ever saw in a theatre.

"You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me…" —Jesus, John 5:39
The Pharisees were always so close, yet so far away.
Although some believe that all first century Pharisees were vile religious robots, many were very sincere in their devotion to God—just severely misdirected.
The Pharisees gave their lives to searching, understanding, and interpreting the Scriptures. They were so faithful at honoring the text that Jesus once said, "unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven." Although the Pharisees were experts at living out the Scriptures, they were ignorant in allowing the Scriptures to live in them. These men tried the best they could to love God with all their heart, soul and might as Deut. 6:4 commands. However, according to Jesus, they did not "have the love of God living within them." They searched the Scriptures to find eternal life, but neglected to behold eternal life when He stood right before of them.
So close, yet so far away…
In many ways, the story of the Pharisees is our story—or at least it's my story.
I've spent countless hours and hundreds of dollars in searching, understanding, and interpreting the Scriptures. I have bookshelves full of devotional books and Bible studies. I have earned two theological degrees. I have full sets of some of the best commentaries. No doubt, I understand the value of these and have experienced the wonderful gift of being able to understand and interpret the Sacred text.
However, like the Pharisees, my searching the Scriptures has often times blinded me from simply stopping and beholding the person of Jesus. Yes, the scriptures are "living and active" and paint a beautiful and accurate picture of God in Jesus Christ. However, I've strived for so long to gaze into the text to see Jesus that I have neglected to look up and gaze upon His presence right in front of me (and within me).
So close, yet so far way…
So, I'm throwing in the towel.
Don't worry, I'm not saying I'm never going to read the Bible again. I'm simply going to allow myself the grace to try something different for a season.
So, instead of striving to gain glimpses of God by searching the Scriptures, I've been pausing and beholding God in sunrises and sunsets. Instead of trying to find God in a devotional book, I've been stopping and sensing God in the cool breeze of the day. Instead of studying semantics, I've been savoring my son's embrace.
If you have found yourself in a season where searching the Scriptures have become a hindrance to you beholding Jesus, then quit looking for and gazing into and start looking up and gazing upon the risen Christ who is closer to you than you are to yourself.
Try trading in searching for beholding for a week and leave me a comment and let me know how you are doing.
"You have your heads in your Bibles constantly because you think you'll find eternal life there. But you miss the forest for the trees. These Scriptures are all about me! And here I am, standing right before you…" - John 5:39-40, MSG
"Open my eyes, that I my behold…" – Ps. 119:18, ESV

Hey long time no blog but I've got a wonderful excuse as I've been doing some travelling around recently with my wife's parents (Who are visiting from Canada) On the trip I even managed to draw a three page comic which will be appearing in the upcoming first issue of Scrambled. Which was due to the fact of my new sketch book I made, which actually holds India ink! (It's really hard to find good paper here) and also the art store finally got my 'speedball' India ink which dries a whole lot faster than the Windsor and Newton variety that I usually use. Thanks to Dave Collier for that one, when I visited him last September, we were halfway through a bike ride when we stopped for a break and he whipped out some artwork to ink. Which I didn't think was possible, with the usual ink drying times. And when he was done he packed it away and we kept on riding. "What sort of ink are you using to do that!" I asked "Speedball" he answered. I remember trying it years ago but found the ink too thin but upon trying it again I find it excellent. I guess you just need to learn to get a little control over the nib (Dip Pen)
But I do have something that might interest you more than ink drying times which is I've decided upon a release date for Scrambled, which then determines the years release dates. They are as follows:
Issue #1- March 10th
Issue #2- June 10th
Issue #3- September 10th
Issue #4- December 10th
So as you can see the book will be coming out quarterly and will cost a measly $2.00 a piece! I also have subscription available for just $6.00 per year/4 issues (within Australia and New Zealand) and $11.00 per year/4 issues for international subscribers. Alternatively you can get any single issue mailed for $2.50 (Aus&N.Z) and $3.50 (for international orders). As for payment I accept Cheque, money order, Paypal, or well concealed cash (Excluding international orders) And I guess I'll also include swaps to an equal value. Send to:
A.W Comix, pobox 174 W, Ballarat, VIC. 3350
Apart from Mail-order you can also get them from the usual suspects such as Minotaur, Polyester, Voxpopulis, and any other willing retailers…

In this talk, I will answer these questions. With the support of C++ Insights we will peek behind the scenes to answer questions about how they are implemented. We will also see how the compiler-generated code changes if we change the lambda itself. This is often interesting for development in constrained applications like the embedded domain.
Next, I will show you the application areas of lambdas to illustrate where they can be helpful. For example, how they can help you to write less and with that more unique code.
After the talk, you will have a solid understanding of lambdas in C++. Together with some ideas when and where to use them.

This year, the Destin trip was planned during Hudson's last week of school. It was a jam packed week...splash day, movie day, graduation...the list goes on. So, we decided to miss Destin because Hudson had school. Two weeks before the trip, Kelly asked me what I would say if we could go after all. I told him there was no way, but if we could, I wanted to be back for graduation. Well, Nana found an extra condo for our family and we went for it. For the first time ever, we DROVE...eek!! It actually wasn't horrible believe it or not. I used a lot of Pinterest ideas to keep Hudson occupied and was shocked at how easy the drive was. We arrived before the people that flew, so we went to Harborwalk Village for dinner. They had these giant hamster balls that Hudson absolutely LOVED!!!
He was a HOT MESS when he got out, so he got a sno-cone to cool off.
Daddy and Holden walking back to the car...Holden was a hot mess from sweating in his carrier.
The first day on the beach was BEAUTIFUL!!
Can you say happy boy?? :)
It was WAY TOO hot and sunny for Holden on the beach, so he spent most of his time in the condo. He did take his first dip in the pool with Nana one evening as the sun was going down. He looks so serious!
Hudson flying through the air thanks to Uncle Todd.
Beach Baby
Holden and Daddy talking one evening before bed. :)
Cat napping with Uncle Geoff.
One morning I snapped this picture of Hudson kissing Luke. Precious!
Hudson loved being on the boogie board this year. The water was ROUGH...red flags every day. Poor Nana got a workout helping him with the boogie board every day.
Our last day there we actually got Daddy on the beach. There were a ton of tiny fish, so we fished for a LONG time that morning!!
The suncreen that NEVER soaked in!! Check out his white face...ha!
Sweet boy with a sand castle that he made.
Kelly and I with Geoff and Tara.
The last night there we took Hudson back to Harborwalk Village so he could get in the hamster balls again. We seriously need to find these in Dallas!
Then, we went to ride go-karts. They actually had some that he was able to ride by himself.
Then, he rode fast ones with Nana.
Daddy, Nana, and Hudson had a water fight on these bumper boats. It was one time that Mommy was thankful to have to wait with Holden. They were beyond soaked when they got off!
It was a FABULOUS trip and I'm so glad we made it at the last minute!! Here are some pics of Holden on the way home...such a sweetie!

by Mary Klein, diocesan archivist
Previous Maryland Episcopalian archives stories have looked at the founding of St. James', Lafayette Square and St. Mary the Virgin, Walbrook Junction. We explored how these church communities were originally formed and their current ministry in west Baltimore. Today we tell the story of the Church of the Ascension and Church of the Prince of Peace, congregations that occupied the church buildings now used by St. James' and St. Mary the Virgin before merging in 1931, moving to Baltimore County in 1959 and closing in 1985.
The Church of the Ascension, Baltimore, began as a mission of St. Peter's Church in 1838, with a boys' Sunday School class meeting in an "upper room" at St. Peter's. Their first church building was erected in 1840 on Lexington Avenue, east of Pine Street, and a new stone church was built in 1867 on Lafayette Square, at Arlington and Lafayette Streets. However, this lovely building was utterly destroyed by fire on a Monday night in May of 1873. The vestry determined to build a temporary worship space by the following Sunday, and by Saturday night, a building had been constructed on a neighboring lot, which would hold 600 people. The church was rebuilt to the identical specifications of the original plans, and was ready for occupancy in January. The congregation flourished into the twentieth century, and its rector John LaMothe, was elected Missionary Bishop of Honolulu in 1920. His consecration took place at his parish on June 20, 1921, and an historic photograph shows the impressive procession lining up in front of the church.
Demographic changes, however, proved to be a problem in the nineteen-twenties. By 1926, the parish was in discussions with at least three other parishes, seeking merger options: The Cathedral congregation, St. Bartholomew's, Ten Hills, and St. Michael and All Angels', Baltimore. When all these options fell through, the vestry began negotiating with the Church of the Prince of Peace, located in the Walbrook section of Baltimore. In April 1927, the rector of Ascension, Robert Evans Browning, wrote in the parish newsletter, using symbolism left over from the First World War, "In the most bitter period of the Great War, Marshall Haig sent a message, saying 'Our backs are to the wall, but we are fighting for the safety of our homes, and the preservation of Christian civilization. Hammer blows may crush weakness, but hammer blows harden steel.' We, too, in Ascension, have our backs to the wall. We are facing tremendous odds. The Negro invasion has driven our people from their homes, involving great sacrifice. Christian people ought not to surrender too readily to obstacles that beset their path. The world still loves to see a good fight. We will not acknowledge defeat until God bids us lay our armor by. Let our fighting be the unflinching courage of those whom hammer blows harden into steel."
By 1931, the congregations of the Church of the Ascension and the Church of the Prince of Peace had come to a consensus, and apparently the parishioners of Church of the Ascension had "laid their armor by." The Ascension congregation would move to Walbrook, assume the mortgages on the church, parish hall and rectory held by Prince of Peace, and sell their own buildings on Lafayette Square. The Diocese was interesting in buying Ascension's property for use of St. James' First African Church, but couldn't come up with enough money, so Mt. Calvary Church (which supported two African-American congregations, St. Mary the Virgin and St. Katharine of Alexandria) loaned the Diocese the money for a down-payment on the church complex. An acceptable deal was reached, and the St. James' congregation worshipped in the church for the first time on Easter of 1932.
The newly consolidated congregation of Church of the Ascension and Prince of Peace ministered in the Walbrook neighborhood until 1953. The rector, the Rev. Joseph Wood, wrote in 1960, "Sensing the shift in population from Walbrook, we built a Chapel on Liberty Road at Rockdale in 1953. We built a new Church last year and on July 1, 1959, we moved from Walbrook and are now in full swing on Liberty Road."
Again, a complex of church buildings came up for sale in the diocese, and again the diocese wanted to use the property for a "colored congregation;" and again, Mount Calvary supplied the means. The congregation of St. Mary the Virgin had been worshipping in their chapel on Orchard Street since 1880, rebuilt it after a devastating fire in 1947, and worshipped there until the city bought the property in 1958 for a new highway project. Mount Calvary guaranteed a down payment loan to the diocese from a bank, continued to supply a clergyman, and the diocese purchased the Walbrook property. In the 1960 "Farewell to Walbrook" article, the Rev. Mr. Wood put the following spin on Ascension and Prince of Peace's move to the county, "We seek consolation in the fact that we left Episcopal congregations at both Lafayette Square and Walbrook when we sought new fields."
A lone voice questioning the diocese purchasing the Walbrook property seems to have come from the Rev. Jack Malpas in a March 15, 1956, letter to Bishop Harry Lee Doll. "Is the Diocese justified in spending diocesan funds to purchase any property which is avowedly for the purpose of establishing a parish which is known to be beforehand planned along the lines of a segregated work?" Malpas was rector of St. Bartholomew's Church in Baltimore's Ten Hills community, less than one mile inside the western city limit, which itself was experiencing a dramatic racial demographic shift. (Statistically, the 1960 census showed that the area was composed of 12,236 whites and 5,838 blacks; yet the 1970 census showed that whites had shrunk to 1,297, and blacks had increased to 20,258.) Malpas and the vestry of St. Bartholomew's faced this oncoming force of change head-on. In November of 1957, the rector asked the vestry to consider forming a policy for parish visitations by the clergy, and the vestry unanimously agreed to establish a parish policy, which promised no discrimination. "The same principles exercised in ministering to the present white families are proposed as parish policy with respect to negro families. We have a responsibility to all families in our neighborhood. Ushers especially are to be instructed that all persons presenting themselves at services are to receive the same treatment of welcome and courtesy. Integration is simply to be expected to happen some time at St. Bartholomew's and we need to help prepare our people."
By January 1985, the Sunday attendance at the Church of the Ascension and Prince of Peace on Liberty Road had dwindled to between 50 and 60; the church buildings were up for sale, and they were looking for a new priest. The parish officially closed by the end of the year. The congregations which occupy their former church buildings in West Baltimore, St. James' and St. Mary the Virgin, have strong small, congregations today. St. Bartholomew's, Ten Hills, has over 400 baptized members.

How To Read More Than One Book At A Time, According To Reddit Users Who Do It
It's the bookworm dream: being able to cruise through multiple books at the same time. I mean, not literally at the same time. But to be like Rory Gilmore, with a bus book and a lunch book and a book of poems when you're in a poetry kind of mood and a memoir for when you're in an introspective space. Just think of how neat and tidy your TBR (to be read) pile would look. But for many of us, the impulse to read more than one book at once is often tempered by the logistics of the whole undertaking. Where do you read your different books? And what? And when? Here's how to become a multi-book reader, according to Reddit.
It's a simple enough question: how do you read more than one book at a time? "Do you have one with you, one by the bed, one in the living room, or how do you like, juggle which one you read?" asked Reddit Books user Eirixoto. "I just find it interesting, because personally I think I'd be lost if I was reading more than one at a time." Eirixoto posted the query earlier today, and within a handful of hours, multiple-book-readers have weighed in from across the world. Because perhaps unsurprisingly, you've gotta have a game plan.
The practice of reading multiple books at once is a bit, well, divisive. There are those who think it's a great way to diversify your every day literary fare, who believe it helps maintain interest in the books you're reading, and lets you storm through way more ~content~. On the other side of the debate are the single-book readers, who hold fast to the idea that if you're reading more than one tome at a time, you're unfocused and unable to take full advantage of the inherently immersive nature of a book. There isn't even an agreed upon term for multi-book readers. There are bibliophiles — lovers of books. There are bibliotaphs — hoarders of books, with the intent of keeping the books out of the hands of others. There's even a word for people who like to read in bed — librocubicularist. But no succinct way of summing up the act of reading more than one book at at time.
But that doesn't mean the internet hasn't tried to come up with a term on their own. I've seen "parallel readers" (recently suggested in a Quora forum). "Polynarritivus," from a Bookstr article last year. And "poly-reader," from a 2010 NPR piece. But they all get at essentially the same idea: literary multi-taskers. So how do they multi all the tasks? Check out their expert responses below.
Try Thinking Of Books Like A Food Pyramid...
Trying out a poly-reading regimen can be like trying to incorporate more vegetables into your diet — there's a huge benefit at the end of the day, but getting that benefit can sometimes taste a little... meh. So reward yourself for reading drier or denser books during the week with "cheat" fiction days during the weekend.
Or A Mood Ring
Reading a variety of books based on your mood — tired and cranky does not a successful reader of heavy non-fiction make — can help you understand your relationship to literature on a greater level. You almost certainly know what to watch when you're sad after a tough day of class, versus when you're blissfully vegging out on a Sunday afternoon. Apply the same time of emotional intuition to your reading choices.

Podcasts are undergoing a bit of a renaissance at the moment, perhaps on the back of the success of blockbuster podcasts like Serial, and, fortunately for teachers, there are plenty of useful and interesting podcasts out there that they might be interested in, either for improving their own subject knowledge or for using with their classes. In this article, IEUA NSW/ACT Branch Organiser Keith Heggart shares some of his favourite history podcasts.
Dan Snow's History Hit
Dan Snow is quickly becoming a bit of a phenomenon – he seems to be everywhere in the history education world. His podcasts are generally topical, ranging from ancient to modern history, but there's a real focus on World War I and World War II. At the moment, Snow is doing a series of podcasts focusing on the centenary of battles like Ypres in World War I. These often take the form of interviews with historians and, where possible, people involved in the events themselves, which adds a dimension of realism to them. The podcasts themselves are a little bit eurocentric, but they are short and snappy, often discuss topics like sources and veracity, and engage with some of the big ideas in history – and they are currently crowdfunding for History Hit TV!
Website: http://www.historyhitpodcast.com
Hardcore History
Whereas Dan Snow's History Hit provides a shallow overview of a lot of different topics, Hardcore History (by US journalist Dan Carlin) is a deep dive into some of the most contentious topics in both modern and ancient history. Carlin doesn't hide the fact that he's not an historian; instead, he uses that as a starting point to document his own exploration and investigation of different sources. His discussions are well referenced, thoughtful and very detailed. The average podcast can last more than two hours, and some series have more than 10 hours in content. Ancient History teachers should definitely investigate the series on Persia.

Last Stop to Nowhere
A little closer to home (and with more links to the Australian curriculum) there are a few really satisfying Australian history podcasts. A lot of these explore barely known facets of Australian history. Last Stop to Nowhere is a good example – it might be a very basic podcast, but what it lacks in fancy production values it makes up for in genuinely interesting content. For example, there's a section on the Emu Wars, as well as another episode on communist conspiracies in mid 20th century Australia. A lot of these topics will fit nicely within the History section of the Australian Curriculum. Each podcast is approximately an hour long, so teachers might want to consider only playing excerpts to the class.

Rum, Rebels and Ratbags
This podcast was put together by the ABC, and is hosted by Dom Knight, with historian David Hunt (author of the Australian history book, Girt). In the limited run (10 episodes) of this podcast they discuss a range of topics from Australian history. Importantly, they discuss the role of women in many of these, including in colonial NSW. There is a thoughtful discussion of the Eora nation and also a very entertaining conversation about Governor Bligh – although there is some strong language in that particular episode, so I wouldn't recommend it to younger students.

A History of the World in 100 Objects
Like the previous podcast, A History of the World in 100 Objects is no longer being updated, but that doesn't mean that it's not worth listening to, in fact, the opposite is very much true. More than 20 different seasons (each with five episodes), this BBC produced podcast undertakes the ambitious project of trying to describe humanity's development through the objects that we have crafted. Each season takes a different time period (beginning in prehistoric times and culminating in 2014, when the podcast's run concluded). It is a thoughtful and thought provoking episode that explores a topic that is often overlooked, the role of the mundane in history. And there's such potential to link it to the study of History, for example, teachers could ask their students to identify an object that would be a candidate for the podcast in 2017!

Today two ministers resigned - this time due to the results of the investigation on the fire in the Schiphol airport asylum seeker prison.

Well, most of them. Rita Verdonk, the minister of immigration, seems to stick like glue. Her department was also criticised for how the people were treated afterwards but no one expected Iron Rita to draw any conclusions.
The elections are going to be tough. The current prime minister Balkenende is not the most charismatic leader there is (Happy Potter but without the charisma was the description of a Belgian politician) but the alternative - Social Democrat leader Wouter Bos - was described after one of his speeches last week by a friend of mine with phrases you don't want to have attached to the man supposed to lead transformation: grey, boring, bureaucratic, mediocre, lack of vision and uninspiring.

Gesture-based Interfaces
From VisionsOfComputingWiki
The 2002 film Minority Report has made a lasting impression on people in terms of their expectations of future gesture-based interfaces -- despite the fact that some aspects of the interfaces presented are clearly poor! It's tough to tell how much of the film's envisioning impact came from the actual technologies shown, and how much came from those technologies being situated in a (rather exciting) context.

Directed by Han Seung-rim (한승림)95min | Release date in South Korea : 2014/04/10
Yeong-jae (Sin Joo-ah), Ha-eun (Koo Ji-sung) and Chun-hee (Yoon Chae-i) have been friends for 15 years since high school.
Yeon-jae is the youngest of a fine hotel owner and she aims to sleep with 1203 men throughout her life. On the other hand, Chun-hee is an old-school minded high school teacher who has never had sex before in her thirty-something life.
Wedding planner Ha-eun was in love with one man for 10 years but recently experienced the pain of losing both her man and work.
Then one day, to celebrate their 10th year majority, they have a party of their own in room 1203 of Yeon-jae's hotel.
They say the house breaks down if three girls get together.
Just turning thirty, the 3 girls' talk goes overboard, going further than adult rated. Soon, they start poking at each other's nerves and end up making a bet; they have to meet a man and spend a hot night with him.
They target the hotel bellboy Hyeon-soo (Lee Yeong-hoon) who looks just like the guy at school all three of them used to like.
To prove their night with him, they must collect a sample of their semen. Who is going to spend the hot night with him? Who slept with the hotel bellboy?

Police search for suspect in deadly dog shooting
ATLANTA - Atlanta Police want to find a man accused of shooting and killing a puppy in northwest Atlanta.
The incident happened September 13 on Hightower Road in front of several children, according to investigators.
Officers said they are looking for a man named CJ, who they believe lives nearby in along Center Street.
Neighbors said the four-month-old chocolate lab mix named Lady was outside barking at the man and his female companion when he opened fire. FOX 5's Marissa Mitchell spoke with the little boy whose family owned the the dog. He told Mitchell he was holding the dog when the shooting happened.
"I feel sad. But I have been thinking about it. And I have been thinking about her everyday," the boy said about the dog.
Witnesses said Lady was very friendly and only barked at the two people. They also said the man walks around the neighborhood often and played with the dog the day before the incident. They believe he may have shot the dog in some sort of retaliation.
If you have any information about this case, you're asked to call Atlanta Police. This is a Crime Stoppers case so there's a cash reward for tips that lead to an arrest. You can remain anonymous.

creativity, drama, readers' theater, readers' theatre, storytelling, Teacher Resources, The Little Red Hen
One of the best ways to improve oral language skills, fluency skills, and comprehension skills in the classroom is to put on a readers' theater. In a readers' theater, students perform a version of a story using a simplified script. Readers' theater doesn't contain a lot of costumes or staging. It's a bare bones production of a story where students take on the roles of the characters in the story.
While you can use any short story to put on a readers' theater, "The Little Red Hen" is a great story for introducing readers' theater to your students. The predictable storyline and repetition also makes it a great way to engage struggling readers in the reading process.
Step One: Read the Story
Before putting on a readers' theater, it helps to help students become familiar with the story. Read through or listen to The Little Red Hen with students so they learn about the characters and the plot of the story.
Step Two: Create a Script
You can buy books full of readers' theater scripts or download scripts from various websites, but it's easiest just to create your own script. If you have older students, you may opt to have them write their own script. For the readers' theater script, you can follow the story verbatim or add in your own twists. For example, some changes you may make to "The Little Red Hen" include:
- Adding an additional character (such as the Little Red Hen's mother)
- Adding more dialogue (such as giving Farmer Brown some dialogue)
- Adding a narrator
- Giving the animals names or changing the animals
- Changing what the Little Red Hen needs help with
- Turning the repetition into a song
The script should be written in script format, with any details related to the setting included in italics or revealed by a narrator.
A sample script may look like this:
On a farm in Illinois
Little Red Hen: Oh, what a beautiful day it is. I think I'm going to bake some bread. Who will help me?
Cat: Not I.
Dog: Not I.
Step Three: Prepare for the Readers' Theater
One reason readers' theater is good for oral language skills and fluency is because students have time to practice their roles. Assign roles to students in the class and give them a chance to read over their lines. If students want to act out the readers' theater beyond reading the lines, do some basic blocking and gather some simple costumes. For example, the animals could wear construction paper headbands with ears stapled to them or a brown piece of paper could serve as the loaf of bread.
Step Four: Perform the Readers' Theater
Have students perform the readers' theater for the class. You can opt to have multiple groups of students perform the same text or make readers' theater a regular part of your classroom routine and regularly assign new students to take on the roles.
