Boomers' Employment Options Improving
It's not difficult to find baby boomers out in the job market who will tell you that they have fewer employment options than they used to.
The turning point occurs around age 55. According to a recent study, only 4 percent of people in their early 50s who find a new job are moving into what the researchers label as "old-person jobs" – that is, jobs in occupations that disproportionately employ older workers. The share in these jobs increases sharply, to 13 percent, by the time they reach their late 50s and to 22 percent in their early 60s.
Given the more difficult job market, this cloud has a silver lining. Older workers are actually better off today than they were in the late 1990s and have experienced a "broadening of occupational opportunities," concluded researchers Matt Rutledge, Steve Sass, and Jorge Ramos-Mercado of the Center for Retirement Research, which sponsors this blog.
Specifically, the situation has improved for two of the three age groups they analyzed. The share of new hires who are in their early 50s and end up in old-person jobs has fallen by more than two-thirds since the late 1990s. For people in their early 60s, it has fallen by nearly one-fifth.
Various possible reasons for the improvement include an aging labor force – managers included. As managers age, they may become more amenable to hiring older workers.
The study also found that things have improved for both educational groups: those who have spent at least some time in college and those who never attended college.
College-educated women between 50 and 64 have made the most progress: 8 percent were in old-person jobs in the early 1990s but only 3 percent are today. One reason could be the particularly large increase in the number of women who've received college degrees or professional training, which gives them more of an edge over younger job seekers.
While it's still true that the job market becomes less welcoming as people age, it's better than it used to be.

text: OverviewTHE FIFTH EDITION IN SI UNITS of Fundamentals of Thermal-Fluid Sciences presents a balanced coverage of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer packaged in a manner suitable for use in introductory thermal sciences courses. By emphasizing the physics and underlying physical phenomena involved, the text gives students practical examples that allow development of an understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of thermal sciences. A special effort is made to help students develop an intuitive feel for underlying physical mechanisms of natural phenomena and to gain a mastery of solving practical problems that an engineer is likely to face in the real world. The objective of this text is to cover the basic principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. Diverse real-world engineering examples are presented to give students a feel for how thermal-fluid sciences are applied in engineering practice. By emphasizing the physics and physical arguments, students are able to develop intuitive understanding of thermal-fluid sciences. This edition contains sufficient material to give instructors flexibility and to accommodate their preferences on the right blend of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer for their students. By careful selection of topics, an instructor can spend one-third, one-half, or two-thirds of the course on thermodynamics and the rest on selected topics of fluid mechanics and heat transfer.

After spending 10 days in Greenland, I couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed – the scenery is incredible but it's changing fast.
Autumn in Norway
A collection of my favorite images captured in and around Rondane National Park in Norway during the autumn of 2016.
Colors of Crete
During my one week visit to the largest island of Greece I got to challenge myself and step out of my photographic comfort zone. Crete is a beautiful island with nice people and captivating sceneries that I had a great time capturing.
Top 3 Photography Locations in Santander
After spending one year in Santander, the northern coast of Spain has grown to be one of my favorite areas to photograph. Each time I visit I drive along the coast and occasionally into the mountains or forests. However, even though most locations are reachable within a few hours driving, Santander have many locations waiting to be photographed. Here's my top 3 photography locations in Santander.
4 Months of Winter
Having a white Christmas has always been what awakes the Christmas spirit in me, even when we have celebrated in the tropics it has been an calming feeling to know that back in Norway the cold, fresh snow has covered the land. Even though I love summer and sun, the Norwegian winter has a special place in my heart.
First Sight of Fall
Finally, it's that time of year again! The landscapes are filling up with color, the air is becoming crisp, and photographers are eagerly chasing the light. Days are shorter, nights are darker, memory cards are filling up!
Visiting the Laatefoss Waterfall
Laatefoss is one of these locations I returned to because I could not get enough of it. It's located right outside of Odda, about a 6 hours drive from my home - and I've now spent two sunrises at this unique waterfall. What shocked me was how much the scenery changed in less than two months!
Northern Lights in the East
Two weeks ago we had a spectacular night, better than any I have ever seen here in the east. The lights where dansing above is and we even got a touch of purple Aurora in the sky. To make the night even better, there was no wind, giving beautiful reflections in the lakes.

Would you want your mother, sister or daughter lining up for emergency food supplies?
It is estimated by some that food will become scarce in 2010-2011. US Dept of Agriculture trend forecasts support this view. If this is true, then the laws of supply and demand will kick in and food prices will rise dramatically.
Eric deCarbonnel, editor of MarketSceptics.com reports on soaring food prices in India, the world's largest democracy, with 1 billion people.
"Slogan-shouting lawmakers demanding that the government control rising food prices have disrupted parliament on several occasions in recent days. Food prices have been soaring at an unprecedented pace. Government data shows they have risen to a nearly 20 percent high over last year - the fastest rate of increase in over a decade. "
In his 17 Dec 2009 post, titled "2010 Food Crisis for Dummies" deCarbonnel predicts a 2010 food crisis that he says will lead to a "financial Armageddon".
Using official records and statistics, and a mix of historic figures and forecasts, deCarbonnel makes some stunning observations and predictions.
During 2007-2009 Trinidad and Tobago experienced constant, monthly rising food prices. The government used a series of strategies to try to alleviate the effect on consumers. This included lifting Value Added Tax on several food items, including milk, curry, saltfish and a number of other imported food items.
Many times, these strategies failed as supermarket owners and other merchants refused to pass on these savings to consumers. Food inflation ran up to 40% YoY in some cases. I remember seeing rice at double the 'normal' price. Rice is a daily staple in our country.
With more expected food inflation in 2010 and beyond, it is wise to prepare now. Take advantage in the temporary lull in food price increases and stock up now. Rice, flour, powdered milk, tinned foods (especially the Cuisine brand, sold at HiLo supermarkets). Stockpiling these items will allow your family a little breathing space should something unexpected happen. Just use a permanent marker and mark the expiry date on top each tin. Rotate out several months before expiry.
Growing your own food is best, and for those without large tracts of land, then a kitchen garden is homegrown food security. The Agriculture Ministry has a program that gives you a start in this area.
Just remember, no matter how much food you grow or stockpile, it will be of no use should someone else come and take it from you by force. Develop a strategy to protect your loved ones and supplies. For those without guns, a plan that involves your neighbours is better than nothing. Being able to depend on immediate neighbours will go a long way in your survival.
Those in the protective services should especially be community oriented, as the moment a national emergency is even suspected, your superiors will have you confined to base/barracks. This leaves your family partially unprotected. If you develop goodwill within your respective communities, along with real, workable, tested emergency plans, then your family may survive, even in your absence.
It is well known that during the 1990 attempted coup, looters had their groceries and other goods taken from them by police, and soldiers. A lot of the goods found their way into the homes of these same soldiers and police. There is no reason to believe things will be different during another national emergency that involves looting, human beings being what we are.
I am not casting any judgement here, nor advocating breaking any laws. But if protective services personnel relieve looters of their loot, and intend to take it to their families, spare a thought for the senior citizen living alone on your street who cannot leave his/her home due to infirmity or fear. They may have no food at home. Spare a thought for the family with two working parents who weren't able to stockpile any food.
For that matter, spare a thought for the airgunner in your neighbourhood who may be the only one to drive away home intruders from your family's home while you are away. Since the majority of the law-abiding population is unarmed, the neighbourhood airgunners may be the last line of defence against rampaging gangs. A well-placed 16 grain pellet, traveling near the speed of sound, to a gangster's head from 60+ meters away may very well convince the gang to move on to softer targets.
In summary, stockpile food and water, grow what you can, have a proven method to protect your loved ones and your stockpile, have enough for charity and barter, but don't let down your guard.

When Alien: Blackout was announced just days into 2019, it was met with a hurricane of bad publicity. And anyone even tangentially familiar with the gaming industry over the past few years could understand why: we've been told time and again that the future of gaming is mobile, and anyone who's tried to play anything remotely "serious" on a mobile phone can tell you it's almost always an awful experience.
I, too, cringed during the BlizzCon announcement about Diablo Immortal. I, too, boycotted Star Wars Battlefront II because the loot crate system was so clearly a cash grab.
I, too, desperately wished for a sequel to Alien: Isolation, which is not only the best Alien game ever made but one of the great survival horror experiences of our era.
And I, too, felt my stomach sink when the new Amanda Ripley game Fox had been teasing turned out to be a mobile experience looking for all the world like a Five Nights at Freddy's clone.
But you know what? I've been playing Alien: Blackout in beta for nearly two weeks, and I want to go ahead and give you the bottom line right up front: it is available today for purchase on the Apple App Store, Google Play, and the Amazon Appstore, and we wholeheartedly recommend you buy it.
It's mobile for a reason
Getting the obvious out of the way—it's cheaper to develop a mobile game, and Fox is already deep into production on the Cold Iron Studios shooter coming later this year to PC and consoles—there are actual storytelling reasons for this being a mobile experience.
In Blackout, as in Isolation, you play the role of Amanda Ripley. Having survived the nightmare aboard the Sevastopol, Amanda has been hiding in the vent systems of the abandoned Mendel space station (a Weyland-Yutani vessel). She's hiding, of course, because she's not entirely alone: there's a xenomorph on board. She's been able to survive this far by patching into security systems with a rudimentary, handheld terminal.
And here's the first stroke of genius in Blackout: because we play entirely from a first-person perspective, and interact with our environment almost entirely through this terminal—which exists in real game space, and can be put down and picked up—our mobile devices start feeling like the terminal itself. That simple design choice engages our imagination: turn the lights off, put some good headphones on, and you'll forget you're playing a "mobile" game at all.
More on gameplay in a moment.
So does it "feel" like a mobile game? The answer, in my honest opinion, is not at all. There are zero microtransactions, and the developer has publicly stated that there will never be any. You aren't incentivized to earn coins. There are no ads. You aren't unlocking cool new hats for Amanda to wear.
It's a completely immersive, in-universe experience from beginning to end. Even the menu designs, which are reminiscent of Alien: Isolation, feel thought-out. Minimalist, with a touch of cassette futurism.
You pay $4.99 USD once, and you get access to a full experience that I've personally played for more than ten hours and haven't gotten bored of yet.
A little help from my … friends?
The game begins when a Weyland-Yutani ship carrying four crew members is forced to dock at the Mendel for supplies. Realizing this crew is her best bet for getting off the station, Amanda reaches out to them via the handheld unit. Without key components, the crew is stranded—so you quickly reach an agreement to help get the ship flight-ready in exchange for safe passage.
Luckily for the crew, Amanda is an engineer. She's managed to restore power to sections of the ship using solar panels, but the panels only provide power for eight minutes before the system cuts out and you're in a blackout.
Try to avoid that.
Most of the game is played via a map of whichever deck you're trying to guide the crew through at any given time. From this map—which exists on your phone just like the overlay exists on Amanda's portable unit—you can open and close certain doors; monitor patches of the deck via motion sensors; and scroll through a handful of security feeds. You can also check in with members of the crew, telling them to hurry up, hide, etc. You can set objectives for different crew members (which is often vital, given the ever-expanding objective lists and the consistent eight-minute cutoff). They'll have to divide to conquer, but the second they divide things get much more complicated.
The xenomorph, which resembles our dear friend from Isolation (closely modeled on Big Chap), is genuinely terrifying. I still get a little chill when I pick him up on one of the security cameras—especially if that camera shows his tail thwipping up into a ceiling vent, where I'll be forced to track him using nothing but my ears (all the while guiding the crew through their tasks).
And this brings me to the next little brilliant mechanic in the game: this entire time, Amanda is vulnerable. In order to use the handheld units, she has to patch in to emergency power reserves controlling door access. And to do that, she has to open the doors of whichever tunnel corridor (or room) she's in. So in order to access the map—and to keep an eye on the crew and the Alien—Amanda has to leave herself totally vulnerable to a sneak attack.
When this happens—and it does, a lot—you typically have a matter of a second or two to figure out which direction the Alien is coming from and which door you need to close. This might not seem like much, but as the game goes on you find yourself SURROUNDED with open doors.
And as soon as you close the door, your terminal goes black. It's been powered down. So then you're in a situation where you have no idea where the Alien is, what your crew is up to, etc. All you can hear are distant noises of scuttling and screaming.
One of my favorite aspects of Isolation is the fact that you have to really earn your progress saves. Not only are save points far from one another, but the machines take time to operate. And you're completely vulnerable during that process. It's great, then, to see the developers of Blackout using that same idea in a mobile game. The terminal takes FOREVER (in reality only about two seconds) to power on again. But you are completely and utterly blind during that process. And when it's back on, you have to race to play catch up or you will lose any idea of where the xenomorph is.
The key to advancing is keeping as many members of your crew alive as possible, and this is where I see real potential for replayability. Between my iPhone and my iPad, I have five different concurrent save files at different stages and with different crew members alive. It's great fun to try switching up tactics—once you get a feel for how the Alien's AI operates (it's not as sophisticated as Isolation, but it's quite good), you can start taking real chances. Opening and closing doors in different areas to draw attention towards regions where you've got a motion tracker running; telling one crew member to run into xeno-infested territory so another crew member can finish a time-sensitive task; creating Alien 3-esque channels to direct the Alien around to certain places where he'll have fewer escape options; etc. I look forward to swapping strategies with you all. I think we're going to have fun with this, doing speed runs etc. as we get better.
The final stages are honestly brutally difficult. I haven't been able to keep more than one crew member alive going into the final level, and that's made things extremely complicated. But also VERY fun. The stakes are increasingly high (you'll know what I'm talking about when you get there), and the possibility of making fatal mistakes goes up quickly.
In other words: it's a real game. You're going to have to work at it.
The Devil in the details
One of the reasons Blackout doesn't feel like a mobile game is the consistent attention to the production design. The sound design and the musical score are both top-notch (I would buy that soundtrack in a heartbeat). The orchestral score, composed for this project, is hauntingly evocative. If you play this without headphones on, you are going to be getting only a fraction of the full experience.
Because you're trapped in a hole most of the time—and because the security cameras and motion sensors only give you direct monitoring capabilities for a fraction of any given map—you HAVE to use your ears to make it through. Seriously, crank up the volume. You'll hear faint scraping sounds when the Alien's in the ductwork; you'll hear crew members breathe heavily when the Alien is close; you'll hear the Mendel shuddering in the vastness of space. And you'll hear the voice acting, which is absolutely triple-A quality. The characters are distinct, and their personalities shine through as the game progresses—making it especially fun to try beating it with different combinations of them.
And the graphics are just astounding for a mobile title. I've played via screen mirroring at length—casting from my iPhone to an Apple TV and a Chrome Stick—and I can't get over how good it looks. It's not Alien: Isolation: the Alien will occasionally change direction unnaturally, crew members' mouths don't move perceptibly when they interact, etc. But none of that really matters, because virtually everything you see is via a closed-circuit TV system. And when you see from Amanda's first-person perspective, it's extraordinarily high-quality. Textures, shading, etc. It looks like a console title.
Is it Five Nights at Ripley's?
No. I get the comparison—and there are some direct mechanical similarities, in that security cameras play a major part and you're vulnerable as the creature moves around—but they feel nothing alike. I enjoy FNaF to a degree. I'll play it for ten, fifteen minutes. But Alien: Blackout is much more strategically deep, and SO much more immersive.
The verdict
After one day of playing Alien: Blackout, I was prepared to give it four out of five stars. I was blown away by how much fun I was having, but I was nagged by this constant thought of "Oh, but it's not Isolation 2. At the end of the day, we're getting this instead."
But having played it at length, now, I am giving it five out of five. It stands on its own, and to enjoy it for what it is is to separate it from what it isn't.
It isn't a sequel to Alien: Isolation. I still hold out hope that we'll see a sequel (or a side-story from Creative Assembly) someday, and maybe we will. But that's not what this is.
Go play it and see for yourself.

Last update: Friday 8/8/14Not all affirmative action programs are the same, nor should they be. Unfortunately, when affirmative action programs are discussed in the media, in policy forums, and even in scholarly publications, the significant differences among these programs are often denied and/or glossed over. As a first step, I suggest that it's useful to distinguish between programs that are based on competitive strategies vs. those based on compensatory strategies.
Competitive Strategies
When a college or a university employs a competitive strategy, it seeks to recruit students from groups that are underrepresented in its current student body; but it does so by recruiting members of these underrepresented groups whose academic aptitudes and preparation are comparable to the students currently enrolled.
- For example, in its earliest decades Harvard University was a regional institution that recruited most of its students from Massachusetts and its neighboring states in New England. Over time, Harvard diversified geographically by recruiting students from other states in other regions of the country and eventually from other regions of the world. As its curriculum diversified, it recruited students with aptitudes for the new disciplines. And though it began as an all-male institution, by the end of the twentieth century it had diversified by gender to the point where its female students outnumbered its male students.
- Of course when Harvard diversified with regards to blacks and other minorities, its goal, again, was to recruit minority students who were academically indistinguishable from its majority students (except during an unfortunate, but brief period in the late 1960s and early 1970s). So the reader will not be surprised to learn that the U.S. Department of Education's College Navigator Website reports that the six year graduation rates for the cohort of Harvard freshmen who enrolled in 2004 were as follows = (White, 97%) (Black, 97%) ... In other words, Harvard's 600 black undergraduates were academically equal to the other 9,400 undergraduates when they entered, so they graduated at the same rates as the others. Note that the graduation rates for other minorities were also similar: (Native American, 100%); (Hispanic, 97%); and (Asian American, 100%).
Compensatory Strategies
But even if the governors and the trustees of public institutions could be persuaded to invest the extra funds required by competitive strategies, they would encounter insurmountable barriers that are the inescapable consequences of centuries of previous mistreatment of the nation's minorities: there aren't enough academically equal minority students to go around. How could it be otherwise? As President Johnson declared in his historic speech that introduced the compensatory strategy that is most commonly associated with the term "affirmative action" today:
"In far too many ways American Negroes have been another nation: deprived of freedom, crippled by hatred, the doors of opportunity closed to hope ... But freedom is not enough. You do not wipe away the scars of centuries by saying: Now you are free to go where you want, and do as you desire, and choose the leaders you please. You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, 'you are free to compete with all the others,' and still justly believe that you have been completely fair. Thus it is not enough just to open the gates of opportunity. All our citizens must have the ability to walk through those gates."In other words, a competitive strategy can only be employed by a fraction of the nation's colleges and universities. If the nation is to provide opportunities for higher education to all minority students who have the intellectual aptitude to benefit from such opportunities, most of its colleges and universities will have to employ "compensatory" strategies, i.e., strategies that recruit students who have comparable intellectual aptitudes but have deficiencies in their prior academic preparation.
President Lyndon B. Johnson, Commencement Address at Howard University, 1965
Our colleges and universities must recruit these students with a firm commitment to provide them with sufficient compensatory resources after admission that will enable them to overcome their initial deficiencies, resources such as developmental courses, tutors, mentors, and study groups. Access to these additional resources will enable the minority students to master the missing fundamentals as quickly as possible, move into the mainstream, and graduate with qualifications that are comparable to the qualifications of non-minority students with respect to the pursuit of graduate studies or entry into the work force. Note that compensatory resources are not required by the academically equal students recruited by competitive strategies. In other words, competitive strategies incur additional costs in their recruiting processes; whereas compensatory programs incur additional costs after their minority students are admitted.
- Some minority students will only be marginally less prepared than their non-minority peers; hence they will have minimal need for compensatory resources. Such lightly compensatory cases could be regarded as modified competitive plays.
- But other minority students will have substantially less preparation than non-minority freshmen; hence they will require substantially greater compensatory support and should be expected to take substantially longer to complete their studies if they are to become as qualified as non-minority students for graduate studies or entry into the work force. Of course, their substantially longer enrollments will also require substantially greater financial aid to cover the additional tuition, books, fees, food, housing, and other living expenses during the additional time required for them to complete their studies.
When Compensation Fails
I submit that inadequate design is the root cause of the perceived failure of many compensatory affirmative action programs, i.e., the so-called "mismatch problem." It's not just a matter of money. Even if compensatory programs could be run for free, there are practical limits to the size of the gaps in prior academic preparation that compensatory initiatives can overcome. For example, when I read about engineering programs in selective universities that admit black students whose SATs are more than one standard deviation below the SATs of the non-black freshmen in these programs, I have to shake my head in anger and wonder as to why these institutions are posing such insurmountable challenges to their black freshmen.
STEM programs, but especially the programs in engineering, provide the biggest challenges to institutions implementing compensatory affirmative action strategies. Their sequences of prerequisite and co-requisite courses are more tightly prescribed than in most other undergraduate programs. Hence failure to master the content of the early sections of some courses will lead to failure in later sections of the co-requisite courses; and failure to master pre-requisites denies admission to the later courses in a sequence. And, yes, these programs are more difficult, i.e., their work loads are generally heavier than in most other programs.
Therefore minority students who have substantially deficient preparations on entry will either require substantially greater natural aptitude for more difficult subjects or access to more intensive compensatory resources ... or they will find it necessary to transfer out of engineering into "easier" programs or drop out of school. The good intentions of the designers of such compensatory programs are only a first step. The proof is in the performance. High rates of transfers or high rates of failures should wave bright red flags. Rather than blaming the victims -- the minority students who transferred out or flunked out -- these institutions should be demanding that the designers of their compensatory programs revisit their flawed designs.
A second explanation is more insidious: racism. More than three years into the President Obama's Administration, it will hardly be news to anyone reading this note that racism survived his election in 2008. When it comes to more difficult fields like STEM, the labs and IT resources of HBCUs may not be as extensive as those found at some of the wealthier non-HBCUs, but racism is never a factor in HBCUs. Their abundant supply of black role models and black mentors ensures that black students are never made to feel that they can't master difficult subjects just because they are black.
Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for non-HBCUs. Therefore higher-than-expected transfers or drop-outs from STEM and other difficult majors should also raise bright red flags that at least some of the students who transferred or dropped out did so because of their perceptions of racism within those departments, departments wherein black instructors and black mentors are usually few and far between. Perhaps the cruelest irony emerges when poorly designed compensatory strategies are applied to the most difficult undergraduate majors, e.g., engineering, that demand the strongest academic aptitudes. The mismatched enrollment of black students whose aptitudes are beneath this threshold may reinforce stereotypical notions about the "inherent inferiority" of all black students among the program's non-black students and among the program's non-black faculty. These fallacious notions may then be applied to the best and brightest black students, students whose intellectual capabilities are every bit as high as those of their non-black peers.
Author's Note: The immediate stimulus for this essay was the following report that was posted on one of Duke University's Websites, "What Happens After Enrollment? An Analysis of the Time Path of Racial Differences in GPA and Major Choice"

TUNE Angie McMahon - Keeping Time
This song is me yelling at myself to get off my arse and do some work... but in a loving way.
Like, you know what you want, and you can either back yourself or keep bad habits, so take note of where you're at and use it as fuel.
It's like a love song to self-discipline. I hope others can feel some affection towards it too.
Thanks with love for listening.

Commercial Photo Shoot
Working with Cole Davis back in January was one of my favorite projects this year. I met him at the Fort Vancouver Invitational and we decided to invite some athletes to hang out with us and take some pictures. It was a great experience for me to learn from him and pick his brain on lighting equipment. I also enjoyed seeing how another photographer works and creates their story. Thank you so much to Ashleigh Moe, Kelsey Nagel, and Lincoln Smith for hanging out with us on a Saturday afternoon. The best compliment we got was from Lincoln Smith at the end of the project when he asked if we had worked together before, because we complimented each others styles so well.

Drunken Film FestFilm Festival
Our goal in founding Drunken Film Fest was to provide comfortable, unique, and most importantly FREE spaces to show our films. That led me to the amazing local pub scene of Bradford – hence 'Drunken' Film Fest. It's not about getting drunk on booze; it's about getting drunk on film, having great conversations, and exploring the amazing venues this city has to offer.
The team at Drunken Film Fest is both excited and honoured to be expanding to the city of Oakland, CA with a week long program of international films, music videos, and documentaries.

Two of the most important words from the life of Jesus as we read the Gospels are, "Follow me!" With these simple words Jesus called to himself all people including the notorious, the doubting, the common and the sick. He called Matthew the tax collector who dropped all the coins he had extorted from innocent people, turned and followed Jesus. He was rich and had lots of friends he partied with. But he was hated, and. Jesus called to him with love.
Andrew and Peter, fishing in the Sea of Galilee turned and followed Jesus. Men making a living as fishermen, they dropped their nets and followed Jesus. What was it that made them decide to leave everything to follow Jesus? What would make me do such a thing? Great love? Great Hope? Great healing?
Over the years as we seek to follow Jesus faithfully, we hope to be healed. We hope to help a broken world. Sometimes his call is clear. But sometimes it is murky and even silent. The truth is that he always desires to call to us and invite us to follow him as he shows us the way of love. He calls us to his mission of love and we follow him to help heal a broken and hurting world.
The St. Paul's Stewardship Program for 2019 is designed around the theme of following Jesus. "Jesus calls. We follow." My five years as the rector of St. Paul's has revealed to me how clearly this parish hears Jesus' call to mission and follows him. He has led us into the neighborhood and into the town of Brunswick. He has led us to be better individual followers of Jesus. He has led us to be a better parish and to work for a better world.
Recently, our mission at St. Paul's has been to strengthen the spirituality of all our families, especially those with small children and youth. The Vestry has spent this year examining our goals for the future, and in January, we engaged deeply in conversation to consider calling a full-time staff person to minister to our families with small children and to strengthen the spirituality of all members. That's why we called the Rev. Peggy Schnack to be our full time assistant priest. Funding her salary will be a financial stretch for us, and we thank the Diocese of Maine for assisting us with a grant. Our mission is future-oriented as we seek to invest in the formation of our children, youth, their parents and care for parishioners of all ages.
Another stretch the Vestry considered making this year is to initiate a capital improvement program called the Seasons of Renewal. The Vestry realized that now was the time to invest in improvements for the sake of our building and all who gather here. Energy efficiency and care of the exterior and the nave are important improvements that many generous parishioners have given or pledged to. Thank you.
Now, the Stewardship Team is asking us all to listen to the voice of Jesus calling. Thank you Stewardship Team: Caroline Russell, Chair, Charla Spann, Phil Studwell, Patsy Oehl, Macauley Lord, Paul Womer. Thank you, for your faithful, generous and hopeful spirit.
Each person on the Stewardship Team has responded to Jesus' call by raising their pledge from last year by at least 5%. That's the financial "stretch" I'm asking each of us to prayerfully consider. I expect that our budget will be a bit more challenging in 2019 as we invest ahead of our future. But I also expect that our parish will accept the invitation of Jesus's call to give.
My hope is that you will respond to my invitation to pledge to God's mission at St. Paul's. I couldn't be happier to be sharing Jesus' call with you as we nurture our faith and work together to love and serve a hurting and broken world.
Yours in the spirit of following Jesus,
The Rev. Carolyn H. Eklund

We have this strange need or conditioning to not take responsibility for our own happiness. We expect it to come from an outside source.
It can happen, but it's fleeting. True happiness has to come from within.
True happiness comes from a connection to our true being.
Years ago my family and I took our dog to obedience school, and the trainer told us, if we have more than one dog, to never let them share a crate. Yes, they would become best friends, even inseparable. Then one of them would die and the other would be completely heartbroken.
Imagine putting all your happiness on another person. This could be a friend or a soul mate. You share your dreams, relying on each other for companionship and future plans. Then tragedy happens, a split of some kind. Continue reading.

Sometime I lack ideas of what to rotate on Otis's art shelves - so I decided to make a list. I find there are lots of advantages of rotating art activities like this. We usually only have three trays out at a time. Although there are often pencils or crayons available in the study.
Having all the items that Otis needs within the tray makes it easier for him to use and pack up. With the exception of water for washing his paint brush (which he needs to ask me for) and his smock and place-mat which he can access himself. It's a real self contained way of presenting the materials.

A small child can feel rather big when they have an apron on and a bucket in their hand. Or a broom, shovel or watering can. It's not about inflating their ego but rather giving them purposeful work.
Real. Satisfying. Work.
You know when your child feels it because you feel it too.
The chores of practical life correspond exactly to what children are looking for at this age: an activity that requires their muscular energy, and that can lead to visible results that are useful to themselves and the persons who live with them.
These present a unique opportunity to improve their motor capacities while providing the reward and satisfaction of a concrete results: the child gets dressed, the food is prepared, the table is set for the family or a community meal.
Participation in every day life develops a feeling of worthiness in a person called upon to share it in an active way. Children become not only users of the world in which they live, but also producers.
- Silvana Quattrocchi Montanaro, M.D. Understanding the Human Being: The Importance of the First Three Years of Life.
The traditional work of the family is referred to in Montessori as practical life work. It is the single most important area of an education for life.
It is in learning to do such mundane activities such as dressing, dusting, sweeping, preparing and serving food, and fixing or building-work that a child sees going on around him all day long-that he learns to use his body and mind for a purpose, to plan, to concentrate, to control his actions, to finish what he started.
Allowing the child to participate in the daily work he sees going on around him is an act of great respect for, and confidence in, the child. It helps him to feel important to himself and those around him. He is needed.
We must be easy on ourselves in the home and plan a time when we will enjoy work as well as the children. Begin with just one thing, perhaps putting the napkins on the table for a meal, and gradually add to the tasks in which the child can participate and eventually take over.
- Susan Mayclin Stephenson, Child of the World: Montessori, Global Education for Age 3-12+.
I'm not suggesting practical life trays so carefully arranged on a shelf (that rarely get touched in an active engaging home) but brooms, window squeegees, mops, buckets, sponges, gardening tools, cleaning cloths, spray bottles, plants, pets, dustpans, pitchers, tongs, chopping boards, work gloves, wash baskets, aprons, tea towels.
The tools of every day life, demonstrated and accessible to the child, the opportunity for the child to join in, participate and contribute in a real and meaningful way - everyday.

Going into business, it may be a crazy thing to do but I have decided to do it anyway.
I never thought I would be a small business owner. I never thought I would leave the workforce for long. When I was pregnant with Caspar I toured all the child care centres in our area. There were twelve. They all fell short of my expectations. I didn't and couldn't sign up to any of them. A month after Caspar was born I resigned from my job and essentially my career. I don't know if I will ever go back to that profession. It just doesn't seem important to me any more.
So after almost six years of being a stay at home parent I've been thinking of what I can do, how I can contribute in the few hours I have available. I am very aware of Otis starting school next year, it will only be three hours a day but I know I can make those three hours productive.
My inital thoughts were that I could use the time Otis is at school to study, perhaps to work towards a new profession, something that I would find meaningful. I just didn't feel inspired, I couldn't find my calling. I had considered teaching and perhaps studying Montessori. But after spending time in the classroom I came to the realisation that I am not teacher material.
Earlier in the year I discussed one particular idea with a friend. We were just catching up, the kids were playing. I mentioned a very specific product that I would like to produce, a product that I thought was much needed and would help a lot of people. Her advice was along the lines of 'you can't just sell one product, you need to open a store'. By the end of our catch up I had in my mind a very good idea of what my store would look like and I didn't want to wait.
Fast forward to today and I'm very close to opening. It will be a small online shop, featuring some of our favourite products. I don't want to duplicate any existing services. I hope you will find our shop unique. I hope that I have something new and meaningful to offer to the Montessori community. I'm on schedule to open in the first week of October and I will provide a link in the side bar soon.
The shop will have a similar feel to the blog. After building up some experience with the blog I have designed (using a basic template) the shop myself. However I don't want to make it sound like starting a business is as simple as that. I've had to recognise my strengths as well as my weaknesses. Publicly I'd like to thank my Small Business Advisor, Carly who really made the store possible, Ayu who has worked on numerous photography projects, Darcy who has listened to me on a daily basis talk about all my ideas and thoughts, Meghan who is one of the most brilliant people I know, and to my other friends and family who have talked, listened, advised and theorised! And readers of this blog have had a big role to play. After years of discussion about products, the ones we can find, the ones we can't, the products that work and how we use them. You have given me advice that only other Montessori parents can. I thank you sincerely.
I also need to thank the numerous suppliers who have met my at times strange and demanding requests. Many suppliers hadn't heard of Montessori before and other suppliers are Montessori mothers who have designed and produced their own products. I have a wonderful local broom company that for the very time has produced toddler brooms - just for us. We have organic training pants designed by a Montessori guide wanting only the finest product for her family. I don't want to give too much away, I want there to be some surprises on opening day.
Julia, just for you, here is a sneak peak of Otis using one of our hard to find products. For a bit of fun (we don't take ourselves too seriously!) we will be selling these really cute strawberry slicers. We might be making strawberry jam really soon. If you are looking for child sized kitchen tools I know you will love our selection.

I recently shared a link on Facebook to the new blog Montessori Moms. If you haven't read it yet it contains lots of information about infant Montessori. It's written by a group of new mothers who are also Assistant to Infancy trained, led by Carrie from Beginning Montessori.
Another Carrie has recently written about the her experiences Baby at Home: The first six months at Zest & Zeal. This post contains lots of good ideas for the home environment and materials for this age.
While it's been over a month (eek two months!) I must offer a public congratulations to Sara on the birth of Tate! Sara has recently written a couple of posts about having a newborn and parenting for the second time.
One of the most frequently asked questions I receive on the blog is where did I find Otis' low shelves. While the shelves haven't been available for many years I recently found some shelves that look very similar. Made in Canada, the Natural Solid Wood Montessori style shelf unit by Highland Wood look beautiful and are very much like our shelves - which have now been gifted to a very sweet baby girl to use in her own Montessori environment.
I have signed up to an upcoming Silent Journey event at our school. Until a couple of weeks ago I had never heard of it and now I feel a little in the dark. Any advice going in? Should I read up on it or go in with an open mind? MariaMontessori.com share a photo essay of The Silent Journey and Discovery event led by Barbara Gordon.
On a personal note you know that I have been working very hard at another Montessori project. It has been many, many months in the making and oh so many collaborations! I am very excited to announce that next month I will be launching my very own online store!! The store will feature many of the hard to find materials we have used in our home and a lot of our favourites. I can't wait to share all the details with you!

Would you like another room tour? This is Amelie's room and it's beautiful! The photographs really say it all but here is a short description by Amelie's Mum.
Welcome to Amelie's first bedroom. We were greatly inspired by Sew Liberated, One Claire Day and of course How we Montessori. There is a lot of handmade love in this room, I made her curtains and quilt and her Dad made her window seat and bed surround. Not to mention it was a family effort involving the Granddads to paint the room and install the mirror and shelves. I am amazed given this space was created for a little personality we couldn't even imagine that we are now observing so many of the corners of the room suit her purpose perfectly.
Because we all want to know, I asked Amelie's Mum where she sourced some of the items including the gorgeous prints. And the low shelves, well they are just perfect!
The low shelves with the seat is the window seat that Amelie's dad made, he did the wooden bit and I made the cushion. I really hope it grows with her. Our plan is to adjust it to a dressing space for her when she gets bigger it should be just the right height for sitting on and putting on pants and shoes. Oh and he also made the wooden bed surround super simple but it works.
The framed picture on the end of the seat is a rotating waldorf picture, I have a few of the other designs to put into the frame. The framed print above the mirror is a limited edition print from one of my favourite Eric Carle books Draw Me a Star. Often when Amelie is unhappy I will rock her holding her so she look at this print over my shoulder and she appears to calm down as she examines it.
The photos in the white frames are Amelie's Great Nan, Nanna Robyn and me when we are little. I wanted her to see that all these grown up women in her lives were once little girls just like her. A sort of mini family tree connecting her to her past.
Thank you so much to Amelie's family for sharing this space with us. This environment is classic Montessori when it comes to beauty and simplicity. I love the handmade touches and it's so special to know the handwork that when into creating this space.
The floor bed and movement area are well placed with the low shelves separating the two. This is an environment that promotes movement. It's easy to visualise a child waking, crawling (or slithering!) to the low shelves to play and moving onto movement area after catching their reflection in the wall mirror. A child can use the low shelves to pull themselves up (the shelves/seat look nice and steady) and the low window provides a great incentive for the child to do so. Beautiful!

We love cooking. It's absolutely one thing you can say about our family. Caspar and Otis are always asking to bake and they always want to bake a cake.
Today they both wanted to make chocolate cake but Otis also wanted to make a banana cake. To make sure everyone got the cake they wanted I decided it was Choose Your Own Ingredients day!
Otis started with bananas and ended up with banana, chocolate (raw cacao) and oat muffins.
Caspar went a little crazy with his ingredients and made a chocolate (raw cacao), coconut and orange cake with ground pepitas, ground chia seeds and maple syrup . Both children also used a 50/50 mix of white and wholemeal spelt four, rapadura sugar, egg and baking powder.
Both tasted amazingly good. I helped both children (when possible) with quantities but it was a really good lesson especially for Caspar on creating a nice texture and the ingredients that go into a cake. In some ways it was even a science lesson when we needed to work out (guesstimate) the amount of baking powder needed to make the cakes rise. A fun, practical life lesson.

Valentine's Day and love is in the air—and in my books. I couldn't imagine writing a novel without a love story and at least a bit of hot sex. But love in my books also includes love of family and friends, of life and laughter, and of fellow man.
Love prompts our characters to do many things, to experience a range of emotions that sometimes (often?) takes them down the wrong path. But then that's good in a book, right?—builds tension, creates suspense, keeps us reading.
In my Em and Yves series, to underscore the action, I created a love triangle, between the heroine, the alien controlling her, and her human lover. Sparks fly, jealousy reigns, emotions run high and play havoc with the story line. In fact it takes four books to sort it all out and yes, there is a happy ending for isn't that what all love stories deserve?
When the Sun was Mine is a story of love between two strangers; an old lady, who may or may not have Alzheimer's, and a young girl just graduated from high school. Circumstance brings them together, initial skepticism and fear grow to respect and liking and love, and they offer each other more than they would have thought possible. Yes, the story has its sex bits too.
Mali to Mexico and Points In Between, a collection of short snippets from my life, shows how important people are to each other, and how they, and travel, broaden our perspectives of the world adding deeper dimensions to our love of life.
Happy reading and Happy Valentine's Day!
But, wait — there's more! Here are more great reads from my friend and writing partner, Anneli Purchase.
Unrequited love reigns in the love triangle in Julia's Violinist. Being "Torn between two lovers" is as heartwrenching for the reader as it is for Julia. Add the setting of postwar Europe with events that will have you thinking about them long after you've finished the book, and you have the ingredients for a great read.
Another kind of love develops in The Wind Weeps. Here we have the misguided love between Andrea and the handsome Robert, whose attentions take an ominous twist. You'll find yourself wondering how Andrea ever could have thought this was love. But is love that turns into manic obsession really love?
Then we have the love that happens by the slimmest of chances. Perhaps it came about because of the alignment of the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the beach that day, as seems to be the case in Orion's Gift when Sylvia meets Kevin in a Baja campground. Can a love, that happens purely by chance, withstand the test of time? Can it survive when their former lovers are on a "search and destroy" mission?

BMW M140i - JB4
The B58 engine that comes in the 40i (in this case the M140i) has huge potential for big power. The current problem we're facing is that only map 1 on the JB4 is available due to the fuel system not being able to cope. The graph below will show what a JB4 on map 1 only can do. We have tested cars with map 2 and they've produced almost 440 bhp but the AFR was too lean until there is a fuel system upgrade available.
For now though, over 410 bhp from a simple stage 1 tune is more than enough. Especially with over 630nm of torque!
Power gained: 47 bhp
Torque gained: 124 nm

Former Everton striker, turned Sky Sports pundit, Andy Gray has claimed Liverpool could surprise everyone this year and claim their sixth Champions League title in Kiev this May.
Although the Reds have been knocked out of both domestic cup competitions and Manchester City look to have the league title already locked up, leading the pack by 16 points, Jurgen Klopp's men are still able to compete for the coveted Champions League trophy.
Having progressed from the group stages at the top of their group, Liverpool are set to travel to Portugal to face FC Porto in the first leg of the last 16 of the Champions League on Wednesday.
Following a shaky run of form, the Reds look as though they've managed to steady themselves ahead of the clash with the Liga Nos front-runners, claiming a comfortable 2-0 win against a struggling Southampton side at the weekend.
Although Liverpool aren't among the favourites to lift the Champions League trophy at the end of the season, former Sky Sports pundit Andy Gray feels as though they could go on a strong run in Europe as long as Liverpool's attacking trio of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah remain fit.
"They're obviously not going to win this league but they're in the Champions League," Andy Gray said to beIN Sport, as reported by the Express.
"I think with that front three, if they can defend well, with that three at the top end of the pitch and keep them fit… they could do something stupid this year like win the Champions League.
"I don't think anyone's thought about it so far. They've got a pretty good draw, Porto might be dangerous but that should take them into the last eight. I think in cup ties and these individual ones it will suit Liverpool perfectly. I really mean this, if all things be equal, they could go pretty far in this tournament."
Although the Reds are far from the strongest team in the competition, memories of their 2004/05 Champions League side have been evoked, whereby Rafael Benitez guided Liverpool, against the odds, to Champions League glory.
Liverpool's next game comes in the last 16 of the Champions League as they face FC Porto in Estadio do Dragao, with the Portuguese league leaders looking to continue their strong league form on the European stage.

Southern Star heats up the season with its Winter Warmer
It's easy to take Southern Star Brewing for granted. The Houston-area brewery— in Conroe to be precise — was founded in 2008 and has always fallen a bit under the radar. In North Texas in particular, its beers have been available the whole time, but don't seem to engender the fervent following or conversation like those of other Houston-area breweries like Saint Arnold or Karbach.
Despite all that, its mainstays of Pine Belt Pale Ale, Bombshell Blonde and Buried Hatchet Stout are familiar to most anyone who seeks out good beers. Those three beers have been consistently well-made from the beginning and continue to be popular.
If you keep an eye on store shelves, you'll also have noticed that Southern Star has diversified its portfolio incrementally to a point that the brewery many times has five or more beers available. Conspiracy Theory IPA is now part of the year-round lineup, and a rotation of seasonal and speciality cans is available at various times.
Winter Warmer is its current seasonal offering and delivers exactly what you want in a beer with this name.
Interestingly enough, "winter warmer" isn't so much a style as it is a description of dark, roasty ales that aren't quite dense or robust enough to push into porter or stout territory. Locals are probably most familiar with Rahr & Son's iteration as well the bourbon barrel-aged version.
Winter warmers can vary from being dark and holiday spiced to reddish brown and sweet.
Southern Star's Winter Warmer is a ruby-brown beer that falls on the lighter side of the spectrum. Its caramel and dark fruit flavors dance nicely with malty sweetness and a light amount of spice. It won't warm you up like some beers of similar ilk — it's only 7 percent ABV — but its flavors are certainly winter appropriate.
Perhaps the one reason this beer might not come immediately to mind is the packaging. An almost solid chocolate-brown can design means its presence on a shelf among other eye-catching beers puts Winter Warmer at a disadvantage. Keep your eye open for this one, as it's definitely worth a try. Especially if (when) its gets cold again

Rep. Romero introduces crowler bill: After a notable lawsuit last year between Cuvee Coffee Bar in Austin and the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, it appeared crowlers—32-ounce cans filled and sealed for to-go consumption — were back in the game for growler-filling bars and restaurants. Although courts ruled in favor of Cuvee, that lawsuit still isn't fully settled and some questions exist about when and how things will change.
That's where state Rep. Ramon Romero of Fort Worth sees an ability to help finally put an end to the debate. House Bill 908, which was filed by Romero's office Tuesday, seeks to formally legalize crowlers for good.
"I filed this bill to continue my ongoing work of promoting and empowering small businesses. As a small business owner myself, I know intimately the need to profit from investments made," Romero said in a written statement. "This common-sense solution will ensure filling a glass vessel with beer is no different than filling an aluminum vessel with beer."

The Proper Steps To Take When Filing An Insurance Claim
Tires screeching, and glass breaking; these are the dreaded sounds that lead to vehicular damage, and the financial hardship that comes with an automobile accident. Once the dust has settled, you must begin the process of alerting your auto insurance company. This can be a stressful time, so here are some steps to follow that, if done correctly, will make the process a bit easier.
- Evaluate whether the damage done is worth filing a claim. Every time you file with your company, it remains on your record. Therefore, if you can financially handle the damage done without help from your insurance company, it is smart to do just that.
- Find a "what to do after an auto accident worksheet" online, and complete it as soon as possible. This worksheet will help you remember the details of your accident that you will need if you decide to file a claim.
- File the claim as soon as you can.
- Don't be surprised if you receive a call from the other party's insurance company. They will want to hear the details of the accident from your perspective. The "what to do after an auto accident worksheet" will be useful in this situation as well. Don't forget to take down the name of the representative you spoke to, and all the information you gave them.
- Repair your vehicle! Once your claim has been processed and accepted you may get a visit from an insurance adjuster who will evaluate the damage. You may then be sent to a previously approved shop to get it repaired.
For any insurance related questions, please contact Idaho Insurance in Caldwell!

Eric McCormack's 'Will & Will' Skit Will Make 'Will & Grace' Fans Yearn for More — VIDEO
Will & Grace is not coming back. Consider this your opportunity to down vodka like Karen and give a dramatic tragic performance a la Jack, because, yes, that show will remain in the past. However, Jimmy Kimmel has found a way to satiate your needs with a segment called Will & Will , which features two Odd Couple-esque roommates who are both named Will and played by Eric McCormack. Two Wills, one show. Dare I say it, but this sounds like a better use of camera magic than what goes on in The Parent Trap.
The segment, which also features a promo for the fake show It's Always Sunny In Willadelphia, is in jest. Kimmel is proposing a channel that's all Eric McCormack, all the time, and I'm on board.
While it may be a little terrifying to watch every show on the planet starring only Eric McCormack, I'm totally down with Will & Will, especially if it's as close as we'll ever get to a Will & Grace reunion. A reunion with just one of the characters! But why stop at Will & Will? What about Grace & Grace?
So, thanks to Kimmel, here is my humble plea for...
Grace & Grace
TV loves Debra Messing, too.
Jack & Jack
So basically, an entire series of "Just Jack."
Karen & Karen
One may argue that there is already a Karen & Karen... when Karen is seeing double, but come on, an all Karen show would be fantastic.
You can watch Kimmel's Will & Will segment below. Enjoy! It's pretty hilarious. Two Wills make for a pretty great show. The video will also make you grateful for your roommate situation — be glad the clone version of you isn't putting passive aggressive notes on all of your food.

text: It was on Tuesday when I called a recently appointed spokesperson for the Harris County Sheriff's office. I had a question regarding the recent death of Harris County Sheriff's deputy Craig Miller. He was killed after a tragic accident here in Houston. A civilian driving the other car involved in the crash was arrested and jailed. But the Insite received a call from a reliable source who told me Deputy Miller's blood alcohol indicated he may have been driving drunk during the deadly collision and allegedly speeding. So, like any reporter I decided to get it confirmed by the sheriff's department. I called a spokesperson at the HCSO. That Lieutenant told me he would get back with me. I waited patiently. When he returned my call he apologized for taking longer than expected. Then he told me the information that I'd heard from a reliable source in his very department wasn't true or couldn't be confirmed. He told me I had to wait until the toxicology tests came back. I thought to myself, if people in the sheriff's department are calling me with this detailed information they already have the results. But I decided to trust this spokesperson. Only two days later I get a call from my source telling me why didn't I break the story. I was wondering what story the source was refering to. That source said the tip he gave me two days ago was now in the Houston Chronicle. I tried to explain to that source what happened. The source then told me he was gonna drop me and start calling Jeff McShan at Channel 11. I hope he was joking. But anyway, I'm just trying to determine if the that spokesperson for the Sheriff's department intentionally mislead me or was just out of the loop. Tell the Insite what you think about this latest turn of events with Deputy Craig Miller and the spokesperson who claimed not to have any information on the blood alcohol!

Designing a plastic cap
In today's practical and cost-conscious world, sheet-metal parts have already replaced many expensive cast, forged, and machined products. The reason is obviously the relative cheapness of stamped, or otherwise mass-produced parts, as well as greater control of their technical and aesthetic parameters. That the world slowly turned away from heavy, ornate, and complicated shapes, and replaced them with functional, simple, and logical forms only enhanced this tendency. Remember old bathtubs? They used to be cast and had ornamental legs.

Plastics have evolved to be a very useful material. Today, plastics are used in almost every area, from small bottle caps, disposable cutlery, and packages for dairy products, to large containers, such as laundry baskets and garbage pails. Plastics have transitioned from a "cheap" substitute for metal and glass to the material of choice providing almost unlimited design freedom, unique properties, and significant cost savings. Figure 2.1 shows various industrial containers and house wares that create durable products in cycles from 10–30 seconds....
