After our drive through Pilger we headed to my cousin Felicia's house to meet her new baby Claire! She was just perfect and slept the whole time! It made me really miss Parker being that tiny!
|My mom with baby Claire
My grandma already had some toys ready to go for Parker and he loved playing with new cars and trucks. The white convertible actually ended up accidentally coming home with us!
|Great-Grandma, Grandpa, Parker and Nana
I tried to take a cute selfie, but it didn't turn out as planned!
After the parade, Parker and I headed to a local golf course to tag team with Nana! She golfed 9 holes in the morning, then I got to golf 9 in the afternoon while she took Parker back to the house.
It was so fun to see everyone, especially my awesome cousin Angie, I just love her!
We headed back to her house after golf for dinner and fireworks. Parker enjoyed having other kids to play with and I think they liked playing with him too.
|Happy Fourth of July!
Parker even managed to stay up for his very first fireworks show. I wish I could have got some good pictures, but it was too dark. He was half intrigued and half oblivious. It was almost 11 before we got in the car to head back to my grandma's, he was out pretty fast!
Who says you can't have ice cream in the morning? We completed our goal, 5 days of twist comes! Runza was the only reliable place to get a cone so we had to stop just before Omaha since that was the last one along our route.

It's been awhile since I posted. Life has gotten very full with the launch of my private counselling and consulting practice, and other work changes. I'm taking some risks and growing a lot. I wasn't sure I could do it, and I couldn't have done it without generous and capable helpers. We're all travelers going on this life journey together. Every step of the past few months has been both daunting and thrilling, but I've got good people with me and that's awesome.
Today, I feel moved to give a shout out to everyone who is struggling with a fear of not being enough, or of being too much, or not being the right thing. Or whatever the grumpy little voice in your head is telling you about yourself. Please tell that voice to stick a sock in it. You're just fine. And there is someone who deeply appreciates and admires you, and maybe you don't even know it because you can't see what they see.
Recently, I helped a youth make a major change in their physical appearance, to build their confidence for a much needed fresh start in life. In my eyes, they are perfect and wonderful, inside and out, before and after and always and forever. If they could see what I see, they'd never doubt their worthiness again. But I know what it feels like to be in a scared and wobbly place, to not feel like your best or truest self. I got to be there in the moments before and after the change, and I'll be honest – I cried. There's nothing better than helping someone discover who they really are, and to know that this can keep evolving over time.
So for everyone who is taking a risk, and putting themselves out there – keep going. Do it scared. We'll be brave and do it together. I see you, we're in this together, and you are enough.

In the world of sports, just about anything is possible so thank goodness for cameramen. If it wasn't for them, some of these moments would be fleeting and gone just as quickly as they came. Take a look at the images that sports cameramen captured over the years and get ready to chuckle.
Pretty sure those with a preschool teaching certification make faces just like this or maybe just their students? In any case, it looks pretty intense.

CONFERENCE AT LABADI BEACH HOTEL CONFERENCE HALL, ACCRA ON 13th - 14th NOVEMBER 2018
4th Africa Oil Governance Summit
Theme: "Harnessing the Potential of Local Content for Economic Growth and Inclusive Development"
The Africa Oil Governance Summit is an annual event that brings together stakeholders in Africa's petroleum industry to deliberate on emerging governance issues in the sector. Instituted in 2015, the summit provides a unique platform where stakeholders in Africa's petroleum industry share best practices on maximizing the benefits of resource extraction through efficient governance approaches. The Africa Center for Energy Policy (ACEP) realized the need for the African continent to consolidate gains and right wrongs made from the management of petroleum resources and initiate dialogue aimed at translating the extraction of oil into socio-economic development. The Center recognizes that the vehicle to this is to strengthen governance frame work that reduces incentives for corruption, builds capacity and invests revenues efficiently. The maiden Summit in 2015 broadly discussed governance issues in Africa's oil resources. It touched on contract transparency, local content issues, institutional development and revenue accountability. In 2016, the summit focused on survival strategies for Africa's oil producers amidst low oil prices, and the 2017 summit focused on the developmental implications of open contracting in upstream oil and gas, and revenue management and utilization. The 2018 summit will focus on increasing the impacts of local content policies in resource-rich African economies.
Local content policies have become priority for policy makers in resource endowed countries who largely depend on their extractive sectors to support sustainable economic growth and development. The implication of local content polices are diverse: it could mean job creation, value addition and industrial development, and local economic growth through forward, sideward and backward linkages of the extractive sector to the rest of a nation's economy. All these emanate from the enormous potential of the extractive sector in generating revenue and other indirect benefit to the economy.[1]
Measures aimed at stimulating local content development are grouped into:
Generally local content polices across the world have common objectives and goals;
However, when it comes to its implementation, several challenges emerge depending on the context of the country.
There are streak of common challenges encountered by African countries in their quest to maximize the benefits of their local content policies. Among them include:
These challenges among many others are of concern to stakeholders and governments, whose aim is to maximize benefits from the extractive sector for improved socio-economic development. African countries cannot overcome these by working as individual countries; a strong continental coalition and networking is required to create a strong and viable voice as one continent.

The Summit will attract participants from;
A key output of the summit will be a communiqué constituting demands for actions by governments and policy makers across the continent of Africa. The communiqué will form a strong basis for program development and advocacy to influence government policy in maximizing returns on extractive resources particularly through local content provisions. It will also serve as the benchmark for measuring post-Summit progress and achievements.
Africa Centre for Energy Policy (ACEP), partners and allies met in Accra from the 23rd and 24th of November 2016, to review and reflect on progress made by the country and Africa as a whole in the governance of its oil resources and to build the desired consensus on a road map to resource prosperity. The summit focused particularly on how good governance from oil wealth can be translated into development in Africa and how the continent could be assured to move away from the oil resource curse. For good governance to be achieved, participants agreed that it was paramount to pursue transparency and accountability in the oil resource sector.
In ensuring transparency, it was acknowledged that some African countries have made impressive progress such as the adoption of open and competitive bidding processes for granting oil concessions. Particularly for Ghana, the government has propelled the institutionalisation of a number of processes including the setting up of the Petroleum Commission Act, the Petroleum Revenue Management Act (PRMA) and the Public Interest Accountability Committee (PIAC) amongst others.
The summit also called for citizen and community involvement and participation in all stages of decision making right from the appraisal stages to deciding which type of projects should be funded from oil revenues.
The speakers for this year's summit have been drawn from different countries with a great track record in governance, the petroleum sector, oil and gas and the total management of natural resources. Last year's speakers share some similarities with this year's speakers. However because of the different theme, most are new. They are not only dynamic in their area of expertise, but wield extraordinary knowledge which when tapped into, will go a long way in shaping our developmental process toward excellence..

As the nation paid tribute over Memorial Day weekend to its fallen heroes, members of the Pleasant View Middle School community held a ceremony with personal meaning.
The school's 21st annual Memorial Ceremony included the reading of 19 names of students, staff and family members from the school community who have died and a former Pleasant View student who died in military service.
"It's a way for the Pleasant View community to come together and honor those we have lost in a supportive way," said Charise Miller, a seventh-grade math teacher who organized this year's ceremony with her colleagues, Danielle Gregor and Shannon Weeks.
"We want to show our students that Pleasant View is a true community," Gregor said. "Our ceremony allows for a positive and loving way for our PV community to grieve."
The ceremony can be a source of strength for those who have lost loved ones, she said.
"I know from personal experience because I lost my son while I have been at Pleasant View," Gregor said. "His name is one of those read at the ceremony."
Homeroom teachers are encouraged to talk with their students about the meaning of Memorial Day and the importance of paying tribute to veterans who lost their lives in service, Miller said.
"We consider this a solemn occasion, so we want our students to approach it in the appropriate way and with the proper attitude," Weeks said.
"We asked them to wear appropriate colors (on May 25), color-coded by grade," she said.
Staff members were asked to wear white, eighth-graders blue and seventh-graders red, Gregor said.
Students and staff gathered outside at the school's memorial garden, which was established in 1997 by former principal Bev Peters.
Peters died in 2015 due to an illness, and her name was read at the ceremony.
The event included the raising of the flag and singing of "The Star-Spangled Banner" by the choir.
Brianna Garner led her schoolmates in the Pledge of Allegiance and the poems "Memorial Day" and "True Heroes Never Die" were read by Dana Montero-Hernandez and Becky Paul. Skyler Bryant spoke on the meaning of Memorial Day.
As the names of the honored were read by Vanessa Anaya, the school's National Junior Honor Society president, flowers were placed on the memorial brick by Lajuana McCarty, Isaac Mulumba, Taylor Redden and Morgan Witteman.
Haylee Howard and Mackayla Garner played taps before students observed a moment of silence to end the ceremony.
Haylee said she was honored to have a featured role in the ceremony.
" 'Taps' has such a significant and important meaning; I just wanted to make sure my playing represented all that it means," she said.
The eighth-grader said the memorial ceremony is an important event for the school.
"It's nice that we can come together as a kind of community and remember the people we have lost," Haylee said.
The ceremony "gives us a meaningful way to celebrate the lives of those who have passed away," Vanessa said. "It helps make Memorial Day even more meaningful for us."
"A lot of times, our students don't know the people who are being honored, but hearing their names read helps them make a connection about what this holiday is all about," Gregor said.

The Power Of Our Words
Leanna and I offered a Bible study a while back studying from the book of James, on the power of our tongue. I think it's important that we be reminded from God's perspective on this, because He knows all and He knows us, being our creator. So first, do we all agree that the Bible is true? Every word of it is true? We all agree that the entire Bible was inspired from God? Praise the Lord.
Let's pray.
We are going to be searching throughout the Bible for God's truth, so if you're taking notes, please have your paper and pen handy, as I would like to go to as many scriptures as we can in this short time we have here together.
I want to look first at Proverbs 18: 21. This verse I hear used often, but I wonder if most heed the meaning.
Proverbs 18: 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
What a powerful verse. We can speak death unto someone. We can speak death unto ourselves. You may say, brother Jim, how can I do that? My friend, many do it on a daily basis. Example: My head aches so bad I want to die. Hmmm!!! I hurt so bad, it's just killing me. Really? Then, there are the words that we can speak to or about others that can leave a scar that lasts for life. I am sure each of you can relate to that in some point in your life. These things should not be.
Mark your place here, but please turn to turn to Genesis 1. We are going to go quickly through some verses here in Genesis, and you all know this, but I want to point something out.
Genesis 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (2) And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. (3) And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
: 6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
: 7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. Getting a picture here? God spoke, and it was.
:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. : 14-15 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
Notice that everything He spoke WAS.
Gen 1:20-24 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. Genesis 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
What an Awesome God.
Genesis 1:26-29 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. (and look what we have done to it) (27) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. (28) And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. (29) And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
I don't want to dwell on this today, but I do want you to notice something. God said, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish". Someone jog my memory. What does replenish mean? We may hit on this during a Bible study. My point on this is God spoke and it was. Verse 26: He created us in His image and likeness. We my friends, can speak to things and they will obey us, if we have the faith.
Let's go to Matthew 15:18-19.
Jesus speaking here. Matthew 15: 18 and 19 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. (19) For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
Let's see what else the Bible says about our hearts by turning to Jeremiah 17:9.
Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
So my friends, if our hearts are not right, we should not say a thing. You know how when we get frustrated, or angry, we are apt to say things that we shouldn't, or don't mean. Has anyone been there?
Proverbs 12:18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.
Psalms 57:4 My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
One thing that really bothers me, and I am sure you have heard it - parents who speak ill words over their children like, "You won't amount to nothing. Why are you so stupid? You are so dumb". This doesn't just hurt at the time it is being spoken. It can leave a scar on that child's life forever. It also can be spoken into existence.
Ephesians 4:29 KJV. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. Okay, so we are to say good things to one another. What kind of words should we speak?
Proverbs 16:24 KJV. Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
Here is what Jesus said at the mount: Matthew 12:36-37 KJV. But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. (37) For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
The amplified version says this: 36 But I tell you, on the day of judgment men will have to give account for every idle (inoperative, nonworking) word they speak. 37 For by your words you will be justified and acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned and sentenced.
Are we seeing the dangers of speaking negatives towards others or ourselves? What stirred me up to discuss what we speak was we had a sermon playing one night as we always do when we go to bed and I heard a few scriptures that kept going through my mind. You know how a song comes on and you can't get it out of your head? Sometimes it stays for days? Have any of you been there? Well, I woke up and there were parts of scriptures that I woke up with very early in the morning. So when I came downstairs I looked them up on E-sword. They didn't seem to go with anything that I was going through, but figured that someone needed to hear them. These are powerful and very important scriptures that I want us to listen to and repeat. Amen?
Joel 3:10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: LET THE WEAK SAY, I AM STRONG.
Psalms 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
Ephesians 6:10 KJV Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.
Later that morning I got a letter from a woman from Cross Roads Fellowship that I know battles from depression and she was tired of stuff and said she felt like ending everything like a friend of hers did a few months back. See how God works? Hallelujah!!!
I replied to her and gave her the scriptures and told her to pin them up all over her house as a reminder and to speak them out. You see, I believe that the Bible is true. I believe there is much power in God's Word, and when we speak scriptures out we are speaking God's words.
Hebrews 4:12 KJV For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
God is the our light and strength by whom and in whom he lives. Praise God! We should therefore let the heart be fixed in Him and the mind stayed upon Him, waiting His deliverance in all circumstances.
Please turn to Proverbs 4 and verse 20. Here is a passage that those who have been joining us have heard me say often, but I feel we should be reminded of often. Praise the Lord.
Proverbs 4:20-23 ASV My son, attend to my words; Incline thine ear unto my sayings. (21) Let them not depart from thine eyes; Keep them in the midst of thy heart. (22) For they are life unto those that find them, And health to all their flesh. (23) Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life.
My friends, when we get into the Bible and meditate on these Words we get our Spirit filled. Let's all say this verse together.
Psalms 18:32 KJV It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. Again!!! GNB He is the God who makes me strong, who makes my pathway safe. Let's say it again. He makes me strong. Do we hear our friends saying this?
This is where we need to start changing what we speak. Leanna and I were blessed to have pastors who taught us when someone asks how you are, don't start in with "Well you know, I'm tired and I'm broke and I.... No, no and no. Say, "I am blessed." When you are a child of God, you are blessed. Speak it out. Leanna and I always say we are blessed when someone asks how we are, even when we don't feel it. We are blessed, and if you want to go even further, say you are blessed and highly favored from God above. We know we are blessed. We know that God is taking care of all our needs. We know that He is guiding us in the things we do for His Kingdom. Praise God.
Let's say it again. I am strong in the Lord. He fills me with strength. Remember, there is life and death in the power of the tongue. He makes my path safe. Glory to God!!!!
Psalms 27:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Let's say it again.
Let the weak say I am strong!! You are not saying your words, you are saying God's Words. Do we believe there is power in these words?
Psalms 19:14 KJV Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
Say this, My God makes me strong!!! Satan wants you to say you are weak. He, little "h" wants you to speak ill of yourself. The Lord is the strength of my life. Again. I am strong. God is the strength of my mind, my body, my emotions. The Lord is the strength of my life. Friends, we need to get this and put our faith in this.
Psalms 29:11 KJV The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.
Let's go to Psalms 71. I love this book. So many verses we can use, but let's look at Psalms 71:16 KJV. I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.
Say it with me, I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD. Glory to God. Remember this is what we are told in the Bible. I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD. Remember when the enemy comes and says you are too tired to go to church, or to go to work, or whatever. I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD.
Psalms 84:7 KJV They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God. They go from strength to strength.
Let us all say this........ I'm going from strength to strength.
I will go in the strength of the Lord God.
God is my safe place.
In God I will find my strength.
Philippians 4:13 KJV I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. I am strong in the Lord. I am strong in the power of His might.
Brothers and sisters, we went through many scriptures, yet I would highly suggest copying them down and posting them in places where you will see them often. When you see them, keep speaking them out. Not just once or twice, but over and over. These are scripture we should all be saying when we feel discouraged. When we feel like giving up. When we feel like we just can't go on anymore.
In closing, let's turn to Matthew 7:7 and 8 .
Matthew 7:7-8 KJV Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: (8) For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Let's remember to speak good things. Let us remember to speak words that were inspired from God over situations. Let us not talk down other people. It's easier to not say anything if we remember that we are going to be held accountable for the things we say.
I pray that these scriptures spoke to someone today. Our words are more important than most even know. As we read, we are responsible for every idle word we have spoken. It's so easy to let our flesh take over, but I honestly believe, when we are filled up with God's Word each day, it doesn't leave room for the negativity to come in. Praise God.
Let's pray.

Sprinkler on CodePlex
Today I published on CodePlex my first project, Sprinkler.
It is both a tool and a framework, based on Powershell v2, aimed at simplifying deployment of applications, especially BizTalk-based. It stands on the shoulders of giants as it extends the Deployment Framework for BizTalk: this latter is focused on deploying a single BizTalk application, while Sprinkler manages multiple BizTalk applications and multiple servers.
Notable features are:
- Parallelization of execution — the tool must be run on all servers of the farm and will operate concurrently as much as possible, reducing deployment time window;
- Can be run from a central location by leveraging Powershell v2 remoting;
- Script based — requires Powershell v2, no additional component to install on any server; you can Zip everything and send it to a different site;
- Flexible layout — keep all the files in a single share or spread them in different locations to keep sensitive information in a safe place or in a read-only folder;
- Simple configuration — all parameters for execution are contained in just two files;
- Interactive and unattended mode — an menu driven wizard helps choosing the script to run and its parameters;
- Complete and centralized logging in plain text files;
- Can execute sections of code in 32-bits for compatibility;
- Rich library for operating BizTalk — stopping host instances, setting host adapters, starting and stopping applications in order, BRE rules managing;
- Add new scripts and functions that leverage all above features.
Feedback is more than welcome, and apologize for bugs and lack of documentation.

1911. July 17. Mond. A great change in the weather! It was partly cloudy with a rainbow at sunset. Theresa and James went to Dunsmuir, having gone to Sacramento last night, where they spent the night with Nellie and Edw. Bergquest. Received a letter from Theresa and wrote to Portland. (T.S.R. 62. 2 P.M. 82. S.S. 68.)
July 18. Tues. Have written to Ada and to Amy Lopeman. (T.S.R. 54. 2 P.M. 81. S.S. 66.)
July 19. Wednes. Howard is today 52 yrs. old and Rev. Kidder is 53. Howard has been so rushed with work that he does not often come in to see me, as has been his wont. And Lou being away from home, more burdens have fallen on him. I wish he would remember not to starve his spiritual nature by keeping up his work and care not only all through the week but on the Lord's Day also. Heaven help and bless him, opening his eyes to see, [?] it be too late! Received letter from Theresa telling of their trip to Dunsmuir, and wrote to her. They encountered a thunder- storm with rain and hail that night, also the night following. Laura came in and told of finding that Calvin Foote, eldest son of Chas. Foote, had just undergone an operation for appendicitis, when they lately visited them at their home - a very serious case, but they hear he is now recovering. Today they have been breaking ground in San Diego for the proposed Panama Canal Exposition, which is planned for its supposed completion in 1915. So they are ahead of San Francisco in the matter. (T.S.R. 48. 2 P.M. 75. S.S. 62.)
July 20. Thurs. It was cool this morning with a heavy dew and fog on the bottoms. Received letters from Ada and Will Cooke, Eunice and Willie. The latter writes that Helen's fingers seem healing nicely. Lilla Jory came in with Lillian for a little goodbye visit, as the Jorys are to go to Modesto to visit Lila (Jory) Bruml, wife of Jesse Earl Bruml, who now lives there. Then they intend to return to Fruitvale next week, from their camping trip. They bring the sad news that James Gill, who last week was thought to be recovering from the attack of typhoid fever, has developed an infected leg, such as Theresa had, and has the prospect now of weeks of confinement and suffering, which is dreadful! The Jorys have not yet decided where they will locate, but go back to Fruitvale to enter their children in school again, which begins there next week. Alfred says he knows it is best for the children to be at Fruitvale, on account of school advantages, but he is not at all content there. (T.S.R. 45. 2 P.M. 76. S.S. 63.)
Page 293
1911. July 21. Fri. Estelle came to borrow - tent and cots. She is preparing to go for a camping trip to Gardiner's - now Dorrington. She wishes George to accompany her, but he thinks he cannot leave the stable. (T.S.R. 46. 2 P.M. 80. S.S. 66.)
July 22. Satur. Irving Parker is now sixteen years old, is in Eureka High School, and very fond of doing cabinet work, at which he shows great talent. Have written to the children in the East. (T.S.R. 50. 2 P.M. 84. S.S. 71.)
July 23. Sabbath. Very pleasant weather and church services as usual. (T.S.R. 51. 2 P.M. 85. S.S. 71.)
July 24. Mond. Have written to Eureka. (T.S.R. 51. 2 P.M. 87. S.S. 75.)
July 25. Tues. Received letter from Theresa and wrote to Ada. Theresa and Jim are having a very enjoyable time at Dunsmuir. (T.S.R. 55. 2 P.M. 95. S.S. 84.)
July 26. Wednes. Received letter from Willie and wrote to Theresa. Mrs. Dustin came in this P.M. She and Ada Parkison, the teachers of the Junior Grade in the S.S. School, are having a lawn party here with them this P.M. Mrs. Dustin told of her new home which they have lately purchased in "The Oaks", Stockton, a lot with new house upon it, to which they are soon to move. Freda must now enter High School, and so they locate there. But who is to take her place in church and S.S. work here? Laura and Hannah are almost inconsolable over the thought of their moving, for the three of them have worked so nicely together. And we shall greatly miss Mr. Dustin and Freda with the music. George came to supper as the rest of his family are absent on their camping trip to Darrington. He seems to be in better health. (T.S.R. 60. 2 P.M. 96. S.S. 79.)
July 27. Thurs. A pleasant change to cooler weather. Lou returned from her visit to Exeter. She says it seems much cooler here than there, but she had a pleasant visit. Much to her disgust, she finds her woman cook has left, and the girls are doing all the work by themselves. She planned for Alma to have an easy time through vacation that she might gain strength for the next term at the Normal. And Mrs. Kidder has deserted us and gone to Santa Cruz - says the climate here is too hot for her. So Laura and Hannah are disappointed as to her helping in church work. And we wonder that the minister is not disappointed also, but he says she is in the habit of spending her summers at the beach, so he is accustomed to her absences. (T.S.R. 57. 2 P.M. 84. S.S. 70.)
July 28. Fri. Received letters from Ada and Will Cooke and Eunice. (T.S.R. 51. 2 P.M. 86. S.S. 73.)

I Cleaned My Toaster
I cleaned my toaster. Why is this remarkable? Oh, only that I've never cleaned it before. The first time for something is always notable! I've owned this hardworking little toaster for ten or fifteen years now.
I should have taken a "before" picture. It had dark blotches all over the side and gunk on top. I scrubbed it with a scrubbie all over and oh, my, would you look at it shine now! It looks like new!
Yes, that is a revelation– at least for a lazy slob like me 🙂
After that I went and cleaned the dried accumulation of gunk that was causing a dark line behind the bathroom faucet.
Where will this madness end… I don't know.

Busy Philipps was pulling up her Spanx in a private dining room in midtown when we met on an October afternoon. "Are we in a Goodfellas movie?" she asked, using an expletive and laughing as she took in the ostentatiously luxe cherry-wood-walled space. "What is about to happen?"
She was about halfway through a frenetic day of publicity, having knocked out an appearance on Good Morning America to promote her candid new memoir, This Will Only Hurt a Little, and preparing for multiple appearances after lunch.
The book is a freewheeling tour through Philipps' career, relationships and on-and-off-again stardom. Although she began writing it before the #MeToo movement took off last year, it has already generated some related headlines, including resurrecting an old story about a time James Franco was rough with her on the set of Freaks and Geeks.
The book's release is just part of what is the biggest month of Philipps' career so far. On November 4, she will debut Busy Tonight, her new talk show on E!. Executive produced by Tina Fey, it will pair the usual topical comedy and nightly guests with the charmingly unfiltered perspective that has turned Philipps into a social media powerhouse.
She was an early adopter of Instagram Stories, and the unvarnished glimpses of her workouts, private moments with her screenwriter husband, Marc Silverstein, and her daughters, Birdie and Cricket, and more general shenanigans (her Lindsay Lohan Mykonos dance impression) have transformed her into a bona fide "influencer" with more than 1.3 million followers — numbers that led to the book and TV deals.
When you live truly and when you speak your truth, only positive things will happen."
Philipps, 39, is a case study for her own "sparkly human" theory — something she invented a few years ago. It refers to someone who isn't necessarily the most famous, but radiates self-confidence in a way that the world opens up to them.
Since landing her first major role as the tough "freak" Kim Kelly on Freaks and Geeks, she has cycled through Hollywood highs (a six-year run on Cougar Town) and lows (during the housing crash, she was unemployed and so indebted that she auditioned for Glee one week after giving birth) but never stopped willing her way though the industry.
She persuaded the craft chain Michaels to invent a spokeswoman position for her because she was such a fan. When her male co-stars started directing episodes of Cougar Town, she did the same out of principle. And when TV opportunities dried up despite her award-winning resume, which also includes Dawson's Creek and ER, she created the equivalent of her own personal sitcom on Instagram.
"When you live truly and when you speak your truth, only positive things will happen," she said, citing Oprah Winfrey as an inspiration. "When I started doing that, everything kind of shifted in my life."
She's been less thrilled by how many websites latched on to a Freaks and Geeks anecdote from the book, in which her co-star Franco shoved her to the ground on the set in response to her hitting him at the director's request. Philipps has shared the story over the years but the memoir gave it new life online. When I brought it up, she sighed.
"I feel like this kind of celebrity clickbait takes away from how good my book is, how hard I worked on it and what I'm actually trying to say," she said, using another expletive in a conversation sprinkled with them. "James and I are fine. I'm fine about that situation." (Franco's representatives did not respond to a request for comment.)
When I asked Philipps about the sexual misconduct allegations that have surfaced about Franco in the past year, she responded with uncertainty and resigned exhaustion. "In the last year I have not been surprised by anything," she said. He has denied the accusations.
In another revelation from the book, on September 27 — as Christine Blasey Ford testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee and presented, in heart-wrenching detail, her accusation that Brett Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her when they were teenagers — Philipps posted a teenage photo of herself on Instagram. "This is me at 14. The age I was raped," she wrote.
It was the first time she had shared the story publicly — she posted it then because she felt a responsibility to help women realise that they don't need to carry their trauma alone. "When I think about these dudes that get off scot-free, I'm like, 'Go live your life, dude who raped me when I was 14,'" she said, tearing up. "I still have problems with sex. I'm 39 years old."
The bulk of This Will Only Hurt a Little reflects on previously untold stories of her Hollywood career, friendships and toxic situations.
Readers will also learn about, among other things, the night actor Chad Michael Murray held her hand on the floor of a bar after she had drunkenly injured her knee; the disheartening time she posed for a Maxim cover to help her acting career; the day, in 2008, she flew across the country to be with her best friend, Michelle Williams, after Heath Ledger, the father of Williams' daughter, died of an overdose. At times she revisits grudges, as when asserting she co-wrote the film Blades of Glory with her childhood friends Craig and Jeff Cox, only to see her name removed from the script when it was sold. (She eventually received a story credit. "We don't have any comment but wish Busy lots of success with her book and Busy Tonight," Jeff Cox wrote in an email in response to a request for comment.)
Such frustrations, failed pilots and other false starts ultimately persuaded Philipps to focus on building a brand around being unabashedly herself.
"Years ago, people had floated the idea of me doing a talk show, and I always sort of railed against it because I felt like I'm an actor, and that's what I love," she said. But at a some point, she said, "you have to lean into" what you're good at. "Not that I'm not good at acting. I think I am, but it's just so hard to do."
Philipps' personality is what persuaded Fey, whose production company, Little Stranger, cast Philipps in an ultimately unsuccessful pilot last year, to produce Busy Tonight.
Philipps is "so warm and instantly likable and refreshing when you talk to her," Fey said. "I always sort of gravitate toward things that I myself would be interested in as a viewer. I felt like her presence is funny, natural and positive in a way — she's not shying away from talking about difficult things in her life, or in the world."
Despite her successes, Philipps remains grounded by the fact that she's "well aware of how it all works and goes down." But she's found comfort in how her authenticity has resonated with people.
"I've just been around for so long, seeing so many people that are having their big moments that are so quickly not a big moment at all," she said. But "it's really flattering that people have responded so strongly to me, Busy Philipps, as opposed to a character."
Don't miss it
Busy Tonight airs in the UAE every Sunday to Wednesday on E! at 10pm.

Kamal Dixon, from Dietary, is our February Employee of the Month. Kamal was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and went to Florida A&M where he earned a criminal justice degree with a minor in social work. Kamal did work as a Child Investigator in Orlando but ended up transferring here to Atlanta to work at DFACS and eventually switching to Elder Abuse cases. He has two brothers still in Florida and a sister that lives in Great Britain. His father was a painter and electrician, and his mother was a supervisor at a jail. He works at Woodland Ridge, part-time, to pay off some debt that he had accumulated but he has a great attitude, full-time. He is always smiling as he delivers meals to different parts of our building.
Kamal's hobbies include shopping for clothes and watching reality TV when he is not working two jobs!! His dream is to be on a reality TV show. Which isn't too farfetched since there is a lot of TV being filmed here in Atlanta now. He particularly likes The Real Housewives of "pick any city." But perhaps he needs to audition for a reality dancing show instead since he has won several dance contests over the years. One time he was in the audience at "The Monique Show," and they asked if anyone would like to compete in a dance contest. He was one of three people selected from the audience, and he won it for a hip-hop, freestyling number he made up on the fly. The second dance contest he won was on a recent trip to Mexico around Halloween. He came to a party dressed up like Run DMC, but he won the competition by dancing to Michael Jackson's Thriller. Kamal is currently developing a monthly podcast with a panel of his friends which cover current hot topics.
We don't think Kamal ever slows down unless it is to eat a plate of blackened salmon, which is his favorite food. But the one thing that sums up Kamal the best is the following example of something that is not in his job description. We have a family member that comes almost every night to feed her husband dinner, but by the time she is ready to leave, it is usually late. Our parking lot is somewhat secluded, and in the winter, it can get very dark outside. Kamal always volunteers to walk her out to her car when he is here. It's that kind of attitude that made Kamal a natural choice for February's Resident of the Month.

in World War II
A separate army of Allied Troops invaded northern France at a place called Normandy on June 6, 1944. The 45th left Italy with some other troops to attack southern France in August 1944. The terrain in southern France is flatter and easier to move across, so the 45th chased the Nazi troops east towards Germany quickly. Eastern France is mountainous, so the 45th had to fight slowly and with difficultly again.
The other problem was the rivers in Europe. Europe has big rivers, like the Rhine, that are difficult to cross without bridges. The Rhine is a wide river that separates Germany from France, so the Nazis destroyed the bridges across the Rhine as they retreated home. The 45th Infantry had engineer units, so they rebuilt bridges or built new pontoon bridges to get across the rivers and into Germany.

Important Battle: Epinal
After chasing the German Army through Southern France, the Moselle River stood between the Seventh Army and the territory of Alsace-Lorraine. Germans during World War II thought Alsace-Lorraine belonged to Germany. It was a territory taken by France from Germany after World War I, which Germany had taken from France after the Franco-Prussian War. It was also populated mostly by German-speaking, French peoples. This meant many of the German soldiers fighting in this area felt like they were fighting for their own home, so they fought more fiercely for it.
The 45th Infantry Division was tasked with crossing the Moselle River at Epinal and taking the city. To do this, the 157th Regiment attacked north of Epinal at Igney and the 179th attacked south of Epinal at Arches. The 180th Regiment had the hardest time, fighting head-on through the city of Epinal. It took two days of fighting for the 180th to reach the western border of Epinal, and then they had to fight building to building to clear the town. The 180th was in a hurry because French spies had told them there were two bridges across the Moselle River that were still standing. These bridges could help the 45th get tanks and artillery over the large river.
The Germans realized they were losing, so they planned to evacuate and blow the bridges after they crossed. This only slowed the 45th for a day, as men crossed in boats and the 40th Combat Engineers built a Bailey bridge for the bigger trucks and tanks, all while being shelled by German artillery.
While the 45th were still liberating France for a few weeks, the Germans were now fighting for their homes.

unless you have a (half) dozen children i don't want to hear it
Posted 17 November 2012on:
- In: musings | parenthood
- 1 Comment
In the early months, most of the unsolicited parenting advice I received revolved around breastfeeding and having enough milk. Lately it's all about … standing?
See, Ashelyn mastered pulling up at around six months. She loves being upright, loves to stand and walk while holding onto our fingers. I'll set her down in the crib or playard, and three seconds later she's peering at me over the edge.
So I'm getting a lot of flak from people who say that it's too early for Ashelyn to stand, that because her legs aren't yet fully developed standing will cause them to become crooked. And then I'll have a bow-legged child. Once I was even told that any standing before the age of one would stunt her linguistic development.
Seriously, where does this stuff come from? Because my understanding was that it's normal for babies to be a little bow-legged from being squished inside the womb. And that the legs will straighten soon enough – helped along, in fact, by the redistribution of weight that comes from standing and walking!
Besides, how am I supposed to keep Ashelyn from bearing weight on her legs if that's what she wants to do? Am I to push her over when she pulls up? Because I can hear the resultant screaming already.
That's my complaint about this kind of alarmism, I think. New mothers tend to have pretty fragile psyches, and words like that – well-intentioned as they may be – stoke issues of fear and insecurity. Then, in the drive to be safe over sorry, to do everything right, all the joy is drained out of baby's first year.
That's a lot of joy to be cheated out of, really.
So I discard a good 95% of what people tell me, without guilt, and I'm able to relax and savour this brief time. I heeded my midwives, I trust our family doctor, and I have a robust filter for internet misinformation and pseudoscience. And I know my daughter.
She'll be fine.

As convenient as cell phones are, finding ways to charge them and ensure they're charging can be a bit of a hassle.
And that's where this pouch comes in handy!
Pick the material of your choice, and create a pouch to keep your phone near the outlet so you never have to worry about it falling off a table or getting accidentally unplugged again.
All it takes is a little material, a sewing machine or hot glue, and less than an hour of your time.

Video gamers have consistently demanded one thing from their hobby: entertainment. Beyond that, we don't much care what inane task we're asked to complete. Give us a crystal banana, call it a power-up, and we'll gladly leap over a robot octopus to grab it, even if it means risking a slice of our life pie.
Find out which oldies made the list.
You are a robot built from the ground up for combat by the world's greatest living mind, and yet you are four feet tall and incapable of ducking or using any weapons other than a tiny, slow-moving pellet of energy.
Heck ya!
lol, is this guy serious?
*sigh* This is why teachers don't allow internet citations.
Half the games they list didn't involve Mario.
'Wow guys, an Italian Plumber, too zany! Haha, look! Italian Plumber and a Monkey! Italian Plumber and... uhh... mushrooms! Haha! Guys.... hey, guys? Where are you going, don't you like my list?'
Sure, it definitely deserves a spot. But what about games like Worms? Bubble Bobble?

When a movie from as early as 1960 has the ability to give me the willies, I will hold it in the highest regard. A fine example of this would be Georges Franju's Eyes Without a Face. Franju never actually considered this a horror movie, but described it solely as a "tale of anguish." While I definitely agree with that, one simply can't ignore the horror aspects that are present all throughout the film, from the gothic settings and architecture to the mad scientist archetype. While Eye Without a Face is unsettling and, at times, gruesome, it still maintains a poetic flow which can only be seen to fully be understood.
From an outsider's perspective, Dr. Génnesier (Pierre Brasseur) appears to be a respectable surgeon who serves the community well. If you take a closer look, however, you will notice that he isn't such an average doctor. Génnesier is actually on a very personal mission of redemption, and by his side is his assistant, Louise (Alida Valli), who goes into the city and lures women of a very specific age group and appearance back to Génnesier's mansion. The whole reason behind these string of kidnappings is that the mad surgeon is trying to graft another woman's face to that of his daughter's, Christiane (Edith Scob), who lost her face in an accident cause by her father. As Génnesier keeps attempting and failing at these grafts, suspicion begins to arise in the town and his best kept secret may be brought to light.
If I were given the task to describe Eyes Without a Face using only one word, I'd call it "mystifying." The way people move from scene to scene along with the continuity of the mise en scène can easily put a trance on the viewer. It's tranquil in the most gothic sense of the word, with dark roads lined with naked, twisted trees and the beautiful mansion is just as easily destroyed with unapologetic scenes of gut wrenching imagery. Without giving too much of the plot away, there is a scene where the audience gets to be present when Génnesier is performing one of his surgeries, and we see the scalpel going under the skin and other icky things in full graphic detail. Definitely made me cringe.
I will admit that the first time I watched this movie, I wasn't too impressed. I recognized that it was beautiful, but I was really expecting a straight forward horror movie and was disappointed when that wasn't what I got. I wasn't the first either. When this movie was first released in the U.S. in 1962, it was titled The Horror Chamber of Dr. Faustus and was paired with a Japanese schlock horror film, The Manster. Could you imagine going into that double feature expecting goofy, mindless trash and getting this? Upon this second full viewing, I have really come to appreciate and enjoy how phenomenal this movie is.
The graphic scares of this movie are actually very sparse. The real horror comes from the entire eerie atmosphere. First of all, the white human-ish mask that Christiane has to wear over her disfigured face is straight up creepy. I always found things that are almost human, but not quite can be more unsettling than the most out there movie monster in the history books. While the gross scenes involving disfigurement and surgery are memorable, I'm surprised that Christiane's mask and entire outfit isn't more iconic. While Pierre Brasseur gives an excellent performance as the doctor, I feel like Edith Scob's ghostly movements and acting with her eyes when behind the mask are just haunting.
If you're in the mood for mindless horror that only can supply you with jump scares and gore, than Eyes Without a Face is the antithesis of what you are after. There is enough gore for it to be impressive for the time, and it really was a ballsy movie, but that's not what makes the movie great. The beautiful gothic atmosphere, constant feeling of dread, and performances is what really makes Eyes Without a Face a classic that, despite being restored and released on the Criterion Collection, isn't as well recognized and known as it really should be.

Growing a strong classroom culture is the aim of every teacher. In order for this culture to mature and bear fruit, it must be rooted in challenge and expectations. In this week's teaching forum, geography teacher Hannah Townsend shares her reflections on what she has done over the past four years to develop the highest possible standards in her classroom.
The starting point for Hannah was to separate out expectations and challenge. She explained that this was problematic as the two are so completely intertwined. However, after wrestling with the chicken-and-egg nature of the two concepts she decided that her particular culture started with high expectations. Once established these then allowed her to set and maintain high challenge.
Hannah is a particularly reflective teacher and as well as drawing on her own experience, she read a series of papers that helped her connect the dots between her own practice with the research evidence. These are included as a bibliography at the end of this blog. Her reflections are summarised below:
High Expectations:
- Always modelling warmth, respect and enthusiasm.
- I set the tone from the moment I greet the students. All uniform issues are dealt with prior to entering the room. I give a warm welcome regardless of whether it is a class that can be challenging to work with or not.
- I welcome them with phrases such as: 'hello, nice to see you… in you come, starter is on the board… books out, lovely to see you… let's come in quietly… I saw you won in the football match on Thursday… did your mum pass on my praise call?'
- I also tend to go to the door at the end of the lesson and wish everyone well but also be specific: 'I am so pleased with how many times you put your hand up Leon… excellent effort today Charlotte… thank you for working so hard… have a lovely evening/rest of day… you were far more focused.'
- Clear routines for behaviour. I thank students for meeting expectations but don't over-praise. Praise should be valued, and have the effect of encouraging them because they believe it is earned.
- Clear instructions – what do I expect in terms of noise level? In terms of quality of work? In terms of tier 3 vocabulary?
- Being consistent – I use clear phrases to determine the behaviour I would like: silent work, quiet work (can whisper about work no louder) or occasionally allowed to talk.
- Giving 'high profile students' the opportunity to get it right – I give them small jobs at the start so they can get small praise from the outset; this can be simple such as 'thank you George and Carlie for handing out the books'. I thank students for getting it right but never praise students for achieving the basic expectations.
- I often call home. Particularly for students who often get it wrong. They rarely get praise calls for going beyond getting the basics right – so I aim to give them an opportunity to go beyond and then call home.
- High expectations as a teacher isn't just about your teaching classes, it's so important for the form group too. I've established clear routines for my form – I greet them, they come in quietly getting their equipment out. If they have an issue they initially discuss it at the door and then they are silent once I walk into the room. They know I value this time and that I treat it like a lesson. Something is always planned for them to do, whether that is group chat activities (like circle time), flash card spellings or discussing current affairs.
- You can only challenge students if you know the material yourself: "Teachers cannot help children learn things they themselves do not understand." (Ball, 1991, p5).
- I challenge by getting students to upgrade their vocabulary when articulating verbal responses. I expose them to a wide range of tier 2 and 3 vocabulary during lessons. I don't simplify terminology at KS3: they learn the correct terms and I model this through my explanation. My year 8 and 9 classes learn GCSE standard sequences of landform formation and are taught how to use A-level terminology.
- I read up on new areas and observe other teachers within the department. I attend the revision classes that other teachers in the department deliver and usually learn a couple of new things that can then feed into practice.
- I use GCSE structures and knowledge in KS3 lessons and A-Level knowledge in GCSE lessons.
- I always evaluate my own practice – how could I challenge my class more? Was there too much scaffolding? Did I overload them with tier 3 vocabulary? Did I give them enough time to practise?
- For key stage 3 I have been able to implement more challenge tasks by presenting new material in small chunks and practising in-between so that students have an opportunity to practise skill, evaluate and ask questions. With the basics such as learning the continents, year 7 had been tested on this a few times to fully embed the knowledge.
