Buddy Miller)', her new music expands on her talent and unique vocals to reveal tracks like 'Who Gets The Church' and 'Leavin' Her', which was released worldwide June 8th.
"I've had the honour of being a part of the CP Holiday Train for many years, yet this never gets old. In fact, it becomes more magical every year. To see firsthand the difference this program makes in each community is nothing short of incredible."
Winnipeg singer-songwriter Sierra Noble has been a part of the Canadian music scene since a very young age, beginning her touring career when she was only 14 years old as a solo Old-time fiddle player. Her evolution as an artist brought her to a journey of singing and songwriting debuted by a song called "Possibility" which went on to be featured on television shows such as "One Tree Hill" and "Switched at Birth". She credits that song to be what opened the door to her opening for international legends Bon Jovi and Paul McCartney.
"I am beyond excited to be a part of the 20th anniversary CP Holiday Train! Come join us with your friends, family, and food bank donations while we warm our hearts together through song in the cold chill of winter!"
Tyson Venegas is a 13-year-old singer and entertainer from Vancouver, BC. His remarkable voice and energy has quickly earned positive reinforcement from artists ranging from Bobby McFerrin and Michael Buble to his hero Stevie Wonder. This past April, he was a featured performer on NBC's Little Big Shots hosted by Steve Harvey.

Terri has received 19 CCMA Awards and is the newest member of the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame.
"I had such a wonderful time on the US leg of the CP Holiday Train last year, and I'm so excited for this experience again, across my home country of Canada. Seeing the smiling faces, holiday spirit, and people giving back to their own communities is an amazing thing to be a part of and witness."
JoJo's music is about having fun, appreciating life and sharing stories. It is passionately country, but with no fear of a deep groove, fresh lyric or original melody. He will charm you with his personality, wow you with his beat boxing, earn your respect with his work ethic, inspire you with his character and compassion, elicit a smile with his message but most importantly, JoJo will sweep you off your feet with his voice. From a moonshine slinging, shower singing prairie boy to Canada's next country music sensation.
"I can honestly say I've never been on a train before!! I couldn't think of a better way to spend my Christmas holidays than spreading the gift of music in as many places as we can aboard the CP Holiday Train! BEST CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY EVER!"

Blown Away
We received some devastating news today. This afternoon, Steel blew out his right knee in a football game. We're not completely sure the extent of his injuries, but the physicians suspect damage to his ACL and MCL. (No fracture.) He must wait for the swelling and pain to reduce before further testing. Our hearts sank as we received a text from him while in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. This is when I really, really hate being so far away. We feel so helpless, even though we know there isn't a thing we can do. For 12 straight years, that young man has poured his heart and soul into the sport he loves. The season-ending injury is not only a shock, it's a heart-breaker for us all. And yet we are still comforted by the grace that surrounds us. The grace of being with good friends when we heard the news. The grace of confidence in the medical staff at Steel's school. We are graced with the friendship of a Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon on speed dial who knows that a comforting and reassuring word to Steel's mama was the best thing she could have heard all day.
We continue to count our blessings.
We are not sure what the immediate future holds for Steel. His focus and ours is on his healing and recovery. Please keep him (and us) in your prayers. As soon as we know more, I'll update everyone with a post.

Merle M. Singer
THE Relationship Miracle Worker
Merle M Singer is THE Relationship Miracle Worker. Working primarily with women who have relationship problems and are unhappy, Merle helps them move beyond the blame to transform their relationship to a more healthy relationship– and bring more happiness into their lives! Most importantly Merle's techniques and marriage advice are designed to work – without their partner participating or even knowing!
Merle's students have found the same techniques are effective in the workplace to deal with work related stress, where she has become The BUSINESS Relationship Miracle Worker. Navigating Relationship Stress at Work (When Gong Postal is not an Option) is a workshop that give many tips for relieving stress at work.
Merle holds both a Bachelor of Science degree in Secondary Education and a Master of Science degree in the Psychology of Reading from Temple University.
Perhaps Merle's most significant credentials with regards to her significant abilities as a relationship expert are her more than 45 years of marriage to the same man, having parented her husband's children and their own son. Merle is easily able to empathize with women, understanding women who've experienced significant relationship difficulties and to help them overcome them, as she has. She has courses that offer relationship advice for women on techniques that my save their marriage
"Merle is insightful, informed and enthusiastic. Her "take" on relationships is fresh and very effective."
Patti Negri – Owner/Producer Brain Brew Entertainment
Merle's "big vision" commitment is to bring peace to the world, one relationship at a time.
With her background, Merle has a unique ability to turn her relationship experience, knowledge and wisdom into highly informative, inspiring and motivating presentations with relationship advice for women. She offers real-world and virtual (online and via teleconference) presentations, classes, courses, workshops, seminars, speeches, keynotes and coaching to learn how to save her marriage and/or bring more happiness back into your life.
Merle's work history helps with first hand knowledge of how to manage stress at work.
She owned 2 pharmacies with her husband – with 17 employees in one. That gave her a view of work relationships from the boss's point of view. She worked at a holding company, doing accounting work for a small group of Saudi sheiks with local investments. Financial deadlines made her learn how to deal with work stress. Of course junior high school teaching gives a completely different perspective on relationships. Also, leadership roles in the community has earned her "Woman of Distinction" Award given by Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and affording plenty of experience in dealing with relationship stress caused by different personalities and egos. The relationship stress in community organization is greater than the commercial/corporate workplace because it's volunteer. No one HAS to be there. It takes plenty of thought and focus to discover and use the many tips for relieving stress at work in the community and inspiring people to want to continue to volunteer.
She even owned a company that manufactured and sold replicas of pharmaceutical antiques for a short time.
A work history that includes success and failure, boss and employee just like her marriage, experiencing both success and failure. It was in year 19 that Merle was ready to 'give up the ghost' and split from her marriage. It was her grown sons that slowed down the split up. He pushed for some marriage counseling. It worked; the couple stayed together, but Merle was still discontented. If marriage counseling couldn't help; she needed to coach herself.
She didn't know what to do, so she started with her bucket list, picking things to do that would make herself happy. She simply put her husband on the shelf, so to speak, focusing completely on her own happiness. After 19 years of focusing on husband and children, this felt odd. She got her mojo back and would come home from work, Greeting Hubbie with a smile and a hug – completely forgetting how mad she was at him. That was certainly a lesson in how mood affects relationships.

text: A sheepy Day! So I finally got a chance to take some pictures of our latest farm project that the guys have been working on. The new cow alley way is complete and the cows (not ours) can now run from one part of the property to the other without getting the sheep fields a mess. We will also be able to use this alley for sheep when we move them to different pastures so it will work well. We also had our second black lamb of the week. My personal favorite love all their markings. We still have been super busy with farm tours and people visiting so that has been keeping Joe busy along with dairy plan. Entering all those sheep as they are born is quite a task. I have been doubling my time in the office now that we are busier working hard on branding, trademarks, payroll all that fun stuff. I have to admit not a bad time with a great view and all the animals around! It seems to be a different type of noise vs arguing girls! So lots more to come, more lambs, projects and little farm girls! Missy AdiegoJanuary 24, 2012 Facebook0 Twitter Tumblr 0 Likes

Table is typically the final outcome of your data analysis. However, tables are not effective at representing large sets of data, as they require time to extract the relevant information and compare values.
This is why, for most of us, table is a beginning of the visualization process, not the final outcome. So whenever I see a table like this one from Iacobucci et al. 2017
my first instinct is to turn it into a graph (either bar or linear):
However I can imagine that you like tables, or your PI likes them, or it's your supplementary data and you are less inclined to put effort into its representation (not that this is a good reason).
If any of the above is the case (or you have some other reasons) there are basic rules you should follow when preparing a table. Note, that those rules apply to all kind of tables whether they contain numbers or text.
1) align
2) remove non-data ink / add white space
3) highlight / add visual cues
So, let's start again with the original table:
1) align
By aligning the numbers and standard deviations the table looks much cleaner. However, I doubt you can read well the actual numbers, even if you are reading this post on your desktop. This is because there is a lot of text, that doesn't need to be there. Which brings us to the next step:
2) remove non-data ink/add white space
I removed all the extra text (ANF-GFP, EtOH) and rounded the numbers to two decimal places (or 1 in case of numbers over 10). Yes, your calculation may give you more, but are they meaningful? Finally, I added some "breathing" white space between sections to reduce the overwhelming feeling you get when faced with a lot of data.
Overall, this allowed me to increase the font size and therefore the numbers are now readable (on desktop!).
3) highlight
This is a very delicate highlighting, done to create some structure, which helps focusing attention on individual columns.
Alternatively, you can add extra visual cues to help audience identify high and low values. For this I selected the minimum and maximal values and created 10 bins with assigned color lightness. Higher values fall in the darker categories, lower in the lighter.
Finally, I wanted to point you out to a video I found on Twitter which deals with a similar topic. It's a slightly different approach, but carries the same message.

2 Saute the garlic and onion using the achuete oil, then add the oxtail and beef tripe, salt, pepper, sugar, beef broth and the dissolved-peanut butter. Bring to a boil.
3 Turn the heat down, and put the vegetables(except the Bok Choy leaves) into the sauce. Cover and cook for approximately 10 minutes or until the vegetables are done.

The whole time she did my toes all she talked about was how much she hated...

Posts made by D.O.
Stuff I made
Starting a thread with some music I made. First one is Fake Cousin on the rhymes, me on the beat.
RE: K-N-A – Use Me (Only For The Summer) (18′)
@Mika ooooh some new Kenna. I was wondering where this man has been just the other day.
RE: The Internet - Hive Mind (2018)
I just want to confirm I played dis album fo da lady in my life and we had secks.
RE: N*E*R*D - No_One Ever Really Dies (2017)
@Playahater But they DOO treat you like doo doo.
RE: N*E*R*D - No_One Ever Really Dies (2017)
@matty It's one of the few albums downloaded straight to my phone so I played some of it for the first time in a long time about a couple of weeks ago when I was in a dead cell zone. Most of it already feels like a time capsule so while I may not play it on the regular I might go back here and there if I'm ever feeling nostalgic a while from now. Lightning Fire Magic Prayer probably gets the most play out of any single track from me.
RE: N*E*R*D - No_One Ever Really Dies (2017)
When I first heard 1000 it didn't make sense because it was so different, it basically sounded 2 or 3 different beats mashed together. It wasn't until Shae's part came in that it all started to come together and make sense and I felt like I "got" it. I actually like it.
One of the things that irks me about a lot of modern music is that it's predictable, formulaic, and hardly does anything but loop about 4 bars with the same notes and chords.
P recognizes this and with NERD he's trying something unorthodox with beat switch ups, weird tempo changes, and generally just something different.
As an NERD/ fan who loves live instrumentation and still dreams of a proper ROOTS/NERD album or something in that vein this is absolutely not what I expected or hoped for but I feel like I get it and still appreciate it so far.
It's growing on me.
RE: N*E*R*D - No_One Ever Really Dies (2017)
@3000 I feel this. You said exactly what I was thinking. A part of the excitement of NERD is sometimes I don't know what to expect. It's unpredictable. A Rihanna feature on an NERD track alone is something unexpected but it makes sense. I still do hope they put something rock jazz funk psychedelic together that blows my mind from a musical/technical standpoint but I also appreciate the bops like this. I really hope they just keep going, keep pushing, come up with some dope music and put out more songs. I would be heartbroken if they halted this.
RE: N*E*R*D - No_One Ever Really Dies (2017)
@cloud-helix Idk why the thought of Shae taking the time to compose an email and attach a file with just his ad-libs made me laugh out loud.

President Obama's administration made history today with what some see as nothing short of government meddling in the affairs of big business.
What I see is something else: I see the administration showing that it is serious and raising the level of concern from yellow to orange.
Now there is a firm deadline and a message to bondholders, United Auto Worker union members and the American public: Do not be surprised if in the next 30 days--or even sooner-General Motors files for a controlled bankruptcy.
During the days of insolvent banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions, this message was loud and clear.
It's about showing force and instilling confidence. The people are looking for a leader, and for the past 70 days, that leader has said many things, yet few have resonated with those who got him elected. This message strikes right at his constituents: America.
Drastic measures, perhaps. But former GM chairman Rick Wagoner is a team player. He knew he had to take one for the team. And this was an enormous sacrifice, to leave the company he nurtured and developed.
His flaw is what helped GM get through its first 100 years: He was a conservative manager. But he managed and managed well. The pace of things, however, has increased, and it's all only gaining speed.
Rick did nothing wrong to earn this dismissal. He made necessary changes to GM. The company now has world-class products. The company is leaner and meaner. The company is tougher and better prepared to succeed. The company knows its costs better than it has ever known them. There is no better and no more difficult time for GM than now.
And unfortunately, Rick Wagoner is the scapegoat.
But what this country desperately needs is a consumer who is willing to spend money again. It needs a consumer who is not worried about losing his or her job, about refilling the 401(k) bucket, about losing his or her home.
The country needs consumer confidence. Perhaps that is what this president aimed to telegraph with a message heard loud and clear.

Hurricane Isabel plowed into North Carolina's Outer Banks with 160 kph winds and pushed its way up the Eastern Seaboard, weakening to a tropical storm by evening but not before swamping roads and knocking out power to more than 2,5-million people.
Isabel was blamed for at least four traffic deaths, along with two deaths from falling trees, and the electrocution of a utility employee.
The storm that had once threatened 257kph winds and a 3,6m storm surge rolled in around midday just south of isolated Ocracoke Island with a 1,5m surge and gusts that rattled plywood boards spray-painted "Bring it on Izzy".
"A lot of trees are down—there's one down across the garage," Rudy Austin said as he looked out on his yard in Ocracoke surrounded by a knee-deep soup of sea water and debris. "There's a lot of stuff floating around: boards and buoys and boxes and young 'uns' plastic toys."
The storm downed trees, snarled air traffic and knocked out electricity—more than two million customers were without power in North Carolina and southeastern Virginia alone.
More than 430 000 customers in Maryland, 120 000 in the District of Columbia and 10 000 in New Jersey also lost power.
In North Carolina, a utility employee was electrocuted while restoring power, and in Virginia two people were killed by falling trees, one of which toppled on to a house.
The storm was also blamed for the deaths of three motorists in Virginia and one in Maryland.
Isabel's top sustained wind eased to about 105kph late on Thursday evening and was expected to weaken further.
National Hurricane Centre Director Max Mayfield said fast-moving Isabel still posed a threat because of its dimensions—about the size of Italy—and its potential to bring 15cm to 25cm of rain and flooding to an East Coast already sodden from one of the wettest summers in years.
The storm spread rain across North Carolina and Virginia and into Maryland, Delaware and parts of West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
In Harlowe, a small community about 40km inland from the Outer Banks, about 30 to 40 homes were destroyed, either by winds, falling trees or flooding, said Jeremy Brown, chief of Harlowe's volunteer fire department.
Firefighters rescued a mother and her two children who were stranded by the flood waters, Brown said.
"It was like a toilet flushing. It just came up and went down," Fernandez said.
On the Outer Banks, the storm destroyed the 162m Jennette's Pier in Nags Head and at least two beach houses, where the storm surge picked up a washer, dryer and refrigerator and carried them about 150m down the street.
At 3am GMT, Isabel was about 56km west of Richmond, Virginia, moving northwest at about 37 kph, up from 23kph on Wednesday evening when it approached the coast.
Isabel was expected to move north across Virginia and cut through western Pennsylvania and western New York state before dissipating in Canada by Saturday.
President George Bush declared major disasters in North Carolina and Virginia, ordering federal aid to both states. The governors of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey and Delaware declared state emergencies.
More than 1 500 flights were cancelled at airports in the major Eastern cities, said David Stempler, president of the Air Travellers Association. As the storm moved north, all flights to and from the Washington metropolitan area's airports were likely to be cancelled, he said.
The federal government shut down in Washington. Amtrak halted service south of Washington, and the Washington-area Metro system shut down all subway and bus service.
Miss America pageant organisers went ahead with plans for their annual parade on Friday night in Atlantic City, New Jersey, hoping the boardwalk would escape damage.—Sapa-AP

Rockies survive Cubs and elements to win in 14 inningsOct 1, 2006 - 2:36 AM CHICAGO (Ticker) -- The Colorado Rockies overcame a late-inning meltdown and a rain delay to escape with a rare road series win.
Jeff Baker hit a two-run single in the 14th inning off Jae Kuk Ryu as the Rockies posted an 11-9 victory over the Chicago Cubs.
Baker's single plated Todd Helton and Brad Hawpe and helped the Rockies earn their first road series win since early August. Colorado beat Chicago, 5-2, on Friday to win the first game of the series.
"We battled hard today," Hawpe said. "They came back late, in the seventh, eighth, and ninth; they came out swinging. It was a good one to take away."
Helton led off the frame with a double against Ryu (0-1), who was the 10th Chicago pitcher, and Hawpe walked on four pitches. Both runners advanced on a sacrifice before Baker's single to center scored both.
"He (Ryu) has good stuff I've faced him in AAA," Baker said. "He started me with a breaking ball and doubled up on it. It's a nice win for us."
Ramon Ramirez (4-3), the 10th Rockies pitcher, pitched 1 2/3 innings to earn the win. The game was delayed 38 minutes due to a heavy rain shower in the 11th inning.
"Fourteen-inning game, second to the last day of the season, you blow an 8-0 lead, you have to find a way to win," Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said.
Hawpe went 4-for-5 with three RBI, including his 22nd homer in the third inning that gave Colorado an 8-0 lead. Jamey Carroll, Matt Holliday and Chris Iannetta also homered for the Rockies.
"Big day at the plate for Brad," Hurdle said. "He had six quality at-bats. Brad had a beautiful day offensively; he showed up all over the place."
Jacque Jones and Freddie Bynum had two RBI each and Ryan Theriot drove in three runs for the Cubs, who scored four in the seventh and two in the eighth to close within 9-8.
"There is no quit in our team," Jones said. "That is a testament to our manager, we just came up a little short."
Chicago tied the game at 9-9 when Jones plated Matt Murton with a two-out ninth-inning single off Brian Fuentes. It was the closer's sixth blown save of the season.
"We came back big-time," Cubs manager Dusty Baker said. "We had a chance to win it late, we just couldn't get that big hit in the 14th."
Jeff Francis started for Colorado and pitched 6 1/3 innings, allowing six runs and seven hits.
Chicago starter Juan Mateo was tagged for seven runs and four hits in just 1 2/3 innings.
No one has shouted yet.
Be the first!
Be the first!

Snowy weekend
Yesterday and today Kali and I have restocked our bread, granola and granola bar supply, as well as cooking dinner last night exclusively on our wood stove. Today we have maple barbecue chicken marinating in the fridge and are about to roll out our lamb's quarter homemade pasta. We have had fun doing projects, keeping Jason fed but otherwise staying out of his way!
Jason and I took time Friday morning to do a quick "2010 Strategic Plan for the Myers-Benners." It was helpful for me to get our goals for this year on paper and, while very daunting, somehow alleviated a portion of my anxiety about the coming months and gave me more energy and an ability to see how I can be helpful. So much of the big projects coming up fall largely on Jason's shoulders (building chicken coops, building a wood shed, disassembling the tower, etc...).
Speaking of the tower, Jason removed the first of the paneling today! So it is really coming down! While we are nowhere close to ready to take it down, he needed some wood for the "rooster condo" he is building and figured he would go ahead and start using the tower wood. I had to laugh to see Kali covering her ears while Jason was banging away. We have a picture of Kali in her highchair soon after we moved here with her hands over her ears and Jason putting up trim in the background. Here we go again!!
...We have now enjoyed a very late lunch and one well worth waiting for. I was laughing as we rolled out sheet after sheet of pasta. I thought it was a bit ridiculous that the recipe online I was using for spinach pasta noted that it served 4 people. I thought we would have pasta for days. Let's just say that I did not put away any leftovers (though I do have enough noodles drying for at least one lasagna). We consumed a lot of pasta. Kali was thrilled to have fewer comments offered about possibly adding some variety to her plate other than just plain noodles and I was happy to see her consuming large amounts of eggs from our chickens, lamb's quarter from our garden patch and non-GMO ww flour. We'll be doing that more often, though the amount of cranking involved won't likely make it as regular an activity.
Time to see if the laundry on the line thawed and dried for me.
One other thing to note: for those familiar with the game cribbage, it seems worth mentioning that Kali now beats me about half the time. I recognize that there is some element of luck in the game, but still... It has also been interesting to note that she now really tries and doesn't just keep all the letter cards because she likes them best! We'll see if the competitive Myers gene is coming into full bloom or not?

Cleaning up our road - what dedication!!
It was colder than I was expecting when we ventured out this morning to give an apple core to Curious Hiddley. But after stocking up energy with a large pancake for breakfast and some time looking at dust bunnies, flax seeds and plant leaves under Kali's microscope, we bundled up and headed out. But note that this time the family trash walk was just a Kali and Janelle trash walk, as Jason is up the hill today butchering chickens for S and M (and us) - Kali is going through our canned chicken chunks at an alarming rate!!
The first half of the trash walk was very fun. Kali practically ran the mile in to the outskirts of Keezletown. She enthusiastically jumped on cans and picked up trash (even red trash - despite her current dislike of that color) along the road. The wind made opening the large garbage bags a bit of a challenge, but doable. About halfway into town the recycling bag was getting a bit heavy and I was finding it a bit trying to balance carrying both bags, pushing the jogger and watching for cars, trash and recyling!!
At the halfway point is a puddle that had been a favorite "ice skating" spot for weeks when it was frozen solid. With the recent rain it had become a deep thick mud puddle and we had come prepared. The jogger had been carrying Kali's over shoes so that she could tromp around. Just about the time I figured we had better head home before Kali got cold and wanted to be at home 5 minutes earlier, I heard (from a bit farther down the road where I was picking up a bottle), "uh oh" and looked back to see Kali sitting in the puddle.
So now her feet and pants were wet and she was ready to be at home and not out for a trash walk. And I will admit to not overflowing with grace as we started the trek home - now with two large trash bags of increasing weight, pushing Kali now in the jogger who was not overly cheerful. By the time we got to our driveway, having given up trash/recycling collection when both bags were starting to get tears in them and we had picked up one particularly smelly bottle that was making the aroma around us unpleasant, the humor of the situation had come home to me.
I had managed to load up one of the bags on the back of the jogger and had Kali's agreement to do so, with her other option being that she walk (okay, so maybe it was a borderline threat but I really am not sure I would have physically been capable of pushing her and carrying the two bags...) As soon as we were both inside, warmed up, in dry clothes and with some lunch in our bellies, it was all worth it. We did, however, agree that trash walks are probably best with Daddy along.
In other news, we are now happy owners of a "herd share." We are currently getting one gallon of local milk weekly, soon to go up to two. I have my first batch of yogurt "incubating" and just made my second batch of butter with Kali and her friend R from next door. It is very exciting to know that our recycling bin will fill up at a much slower rate now that we will have no milk jugs to add to it, as well as other dairy containers. I hope to start learning some about cheese making in the coming months.
We just decided at a recent family meeting that for Lent we are going to give up grocery stores. It will be a fun challenge and will encourage us to work down our freezer and pantry supply, to make the Saturday Farmer's Market a weekly tradition and to experiment more with making dairy products from our milk. Kali was not overly enthusiastic initially because she was concerned about having a supply on hand of yo-baby yogurts, arthur macaroni and cheese and alphabet cookies (three treats she likes to pick out from the natural foods section at Kroger but that are not even normally at our house all the time). However, when she got some sense of how long 40 days was and my reassurance that we could get one of each to "tie her over" she was ready to commit too - and seemed excited about the prospects of using her own pasta maker more and experimenting with making flavored yogurts at home. We'll do our best to keep it fun!
Lastly, I was waiting to have the final word on the health and well-being of Herm and Germ but I only have half of a report. We can now say that at least one of our goldfish is amazing!!!!! The long cold spell started to get us worried when our rain barrel seemed to be freezing all the way to the bottom. We kept thinking it would warm up, or we'd forget about it for a few days. Finally, Jason took a few steps to try to aid the thawing process and just in the past week it was back to water again. But no sign of our two goldfish that had weathered several winters outside, and who had come to Fruit Farm Lane with us from our Wolfe Street home over 4 years ago. I felt very sad to think that we might have not only let down one of the hens under our care but had also let our goldfish freeze to death. I got an excited call from Jason yesterday at work letting me know that he had just had his first goldfish spotting and it was ALIVE!!! We have yet to see two at one time so we are still waiting to see if the living fish has a living fish friend.
As I sat down to write this blog I looked over at Kali on the floor and I smiled! She had been "knee deep" in stuffed animals minutes before and had settled down with a stack of magazines. She looked very comfy, complete with modeling the big hole in the toe of her sock that gives her foot a way out the bottom end when hot. While I'm more than ready to send them to the rag bag, they are one of the only purple pairs left in her drawer and so they are treasured! Now she is concentrating on writing out the months of the year and organizing her magazines by month. For this moment the house is quiet and I'm enjoying sitting in front of our big picture window watching the clouds move across the moutain and patches of blue peeking out now and then with an occasional snowflake sailing to the ground.

Lost (bummer) and Found (yikes!)
Two weeks ago Kali had her first play date with some kids she had related to at Shenandoah Valley Community School, and who live not too far from us (their parents are CSA and market gardeners…we've got a lot in common!)
As they were about to leave, we were checking out the chickens. One of the kids was enjoying counting the different kinds (I think it was Kali). The number she came up with for Silver Laced Wyandottes was 3. Hmm. I checked, because the number should be 5. As usual, my daughter's observation was reliable. 3 it was.
Because the coop had to be perched on top of frozen hunks of snow, and a bit of melting had occurred during the day, a gap had opened under the fence, and two chickens had apparently escaped. I was not bothered by this insult to the customary order of things (I try not to be like that), and nor was I concerned about catching them again (I'm pretty good at that). I was, however, mildly worried because I had no idea where they were, and dark was approaching.
After they left, Kali and I took a spin around the property, eventually finding one of the hens after she emerged into broad daylight to merrily scratch in the grass. She was easily apprehended and returned to safety. The other one was still missing, and it happened to be the best hen of that breed that we had. I suspected that she was still in one tangled thicket or other (there are plenty to choose from), but she managed to evade my eyesight. As darkness descended, snow began to fall, and I wished she were under the roof of her coop, perched in a warm row with the others. All I could do was hope the owls and foxes would also fail to notice her.
Not so. As I was walking along the driveway in the morning through a fresh inch of snow, a set of animal tracks caught my attention. They looked like tiny dog tracks (with the nail prints visible), except that they were in a line like a cat's would be. Appearing beside the prints was a steady linear depression, like a lopsided tail drag. Just exactly what you'd expect to see if a fox had drug a chicken carcass off during the night. I wanted to make sure, so I followed the tracks forward (I lost the trail as it entered the woods) and then backwards, where a few chunks of flesh and a few smatterings of feathers gave me a pretty good indication of the way things had gone. I could see where she had roosted, and though I didn't know whether the Cooper's hawk I had seen taking off from that general area earlier in the morning had been the first on the scene or if it had all been the fox's doing, the moral of the story is that she was eaten during the night or near first light.
I was pretty sad. In one sense, it's not reasonable to be sad about that, because I eat my chickens often and with little (though some) sadness. Perhaps it's sort of selfish to begrudge my fellow meat-eaters a place at the table. The fact is I do not attach moral significance to this kill. The hawk and/or fox are just finding sustenance in the most skillful ways they know. Somehow I just don't like seeing her meet her end in that way. I sort of make a deal with any animal I bring into the world that I will provide for their comfort and safety for as long as I judge them to be of use to me, and that when the time comes I will do my best to respect them in practical ways at their time of passing. This is partly anthropomorphism, I know, and nature has no such scruples. It's just how I work out the relationships that cannot help but arise when farming animals, and I felt sad when it seemed I had let her down. I'm o.k. now. So is she.
Barriers (fencing included) are one way we arrange for peaceful co-existence with our natural antagonists of whatever kind. Sometimes that reality comes home rather dramatically.
The other evening, Kali got a bee in her bonnet to learn about the major fixtures and appliances in our home. We discussed refrigerators and freezers first, opening up the utility compartment of the freezer to see the compressor, etc. Then we were onto ovens, then sinks, then toilets. As we were discussing and discovering water pressure from gravity versus mechanical systems, there came a point when I wanted to show her where the water comes into the house from the crawl space. It was easy enough to do, because the pipe comes in right under the little wooden box on which sits our toilet brush and extra toilet paper. In the back of my mind was the knowledge that removing this box violates one such peace-keeping barrier in our home, but I have done so often without incident.
This time was different. I nonchalantly lifted away the box (which has always simply been setting in that location, held there by its own weight), let out a loud "WHOA!" and hastily slammed it back into position before the cute little blacksnake hibernating under the pipe could get any ideas about waking up and scurrying under the washer or making a break for the bedroom.
This is the kind of thing you hate to tell your wife about, but I knew she had to know. So, the perfect solution arose: allow Kali to tell her, of course! It took some time to convince Janelle (and her mom, who was staying with us for the weekend) that Kali was referring to a literally true event, but when reality sunk in it was quickly decided that the box must be firmly affixed in place, with screws, that evening, starting now. The work was, of course, completed efficiently and without complaint.
The box, you see, is open to the plumbing chase, which is contiguous with the roof cavity, which is, from a mouse or snake's perspective, contiguous with the great outdoors. With the advent of renovations accompanying the construction of the in-law quarters on our place, the peace-keeping barrier will be moved outward, such that critters will find entry to the roof cavities impossible. That will be nice.
Barriers have their limits. That statement could be from the Department of Redundancy Department, but it's intended to mean that choosing a barrier for negotiating a relationship with a possibly antagonistic force isn't always the most advantageous. Agriculturally and otherwise, we westerners tend to think in terms of barriers. We lock our doors, seal our borders, mend our fences, put up our "keep off" signs, wear latex gloves, blast our food and homes with noxious chemicals, caulk the joints, etc. etc. It makes the thinking and planning simple for linear, if-then minds.
But every creature, western or no, depends on an earth ecology that is characterized not by barriers and eradication, but by webs of mutual support, interdependence, tolerance, and modulation. We would do well to open our minds to the reality of the ecology on which we depend, so that we can better choose where barriers are appropriate and sensible solutions, but also recognize when they are doing more harm than good, or causing unintended consequences.
This is part of why I am currently enrolled in a Permaculture Design Course put on by the Blue Ridge Permaculture Network. Four weekends of input and a team design project seem as if they will get me on my way to capably accounting for a multiplicity of forces and factors in arranging our living and production patterns and systems here at home. The course is set up to qualify us for creating designs with/for others as well, though that is not specifically why I'm taking the course. I recommend the Permaculture Principles website to anyone who is intrigued by this notion and wishes to know more: http://permacultureprinciples.com/

No stage fright here!
On our trip back to Keezletown, I attempted to articulate for Jason and myself what made that space and the service so touching. I imagine it was many things colliding at once in those 45 minutes: thinking of Mom's journey with cancer during the early years and being grateful for the gift of more years with her presence than, at moments, we thought we would have; sensing in that space how life transforming this program has been for many people who otherwise don't even have one meaningful friendship or much other fulfillment in their lives; sensing how much that differs from my own life that so often, even with challenges and pain, feels full and overflowing; thinking about the milestone of Mom's retirement and knowing that while it appears as a loss to some it is also one marker on the way towards their transition to WV and eventually to Keezletown, and the big year ahead as we undergo construction on their home attached to ours; and possibly most notable for me were the feelings attached to being in a space with over 100 people who I hardly knew and yet a good number of them knowing something (if not a lot) about me and my family. It was odd, and very touching, to have more people talk with me about Nora and express their heartfelt support and condolences in the short time we were there than at any other gathering that I can remember (other than memorial services). I'm still trying to soak in the uniqueness of that gathering...
The most fun part of the party was the post-party entertainment! Kali must have been eyeing the microphones and listening intently to the music during the short service. Prior to the party she was at the front dancing to her heart's content to the music coming from a small CD player (background music to most but to her ears it was all the people talking that was the background noise!).
She and her cousins C and T joined her on stage as people continued mingling, eating and eventually cleaning up. They enjoyed dancing, racing across the state, timidly talking in the microphones and then more and more boldly as time passed until "Row, Row, Row your Boat...Life is But a Dream" was being belted out for all to hear!
Prior to Grandma's party Kali and I were talking about it and Kali was curious about the idea of Grandma maybe feeling a bit nervous to be the center of so much attention. It was cute to see Kali thinking about putting herself in Grandma's shoes - she concurred that if there was a party for her with over 100 people there it would be fine if she didn't have to talk. If she had to talk she would not like it but if she could just be there she would like it. That's our girl!
However, put a microphone in her hand and get her on a stage and it seems that the shyness often noticed quite strikingly in interactions with people (even those fairly close to her) evaporates.

A Must-Listen for aspiring Security Professionals
If you're a security professional, thinking of becoming one, or just want to remain safer in an increasingly connected world, this podcast is practically a graduate course delivered once a week at no cost to you. Steve Gibson knows computer infrastructure on a fundamental level akin to a native speaker of a language.
As a long-time assembly programmer, Steve's mind naturally breaks down concepts into its fundamental components, allowing even security novices to follow along (though occasionally it might take a couple listens).
A note to new listeners: the episodes really must be listened to sped up. I'm not sure if Apple's improved their speed settings, but other apps like Pocketcast and Overcast have features that naturally remove pauses and dead space as well as dynamically speeding up speech. This is necessary because not only are the episodes quite long, but Steve is a very deliberate speaker and is not reading from a script.
This is not meant to be a criticism. He's a programmer and security researcher. He does not have the decades of radio training his cohost Leo Laporte benefits from. I only mention this because it's something I hear frequently from people just starting to listen. I find 1.3x is a perfect balance.
Security Now! Is one of the first podcasts I started listening to and it's given me a framework to discuss just about any technology story in the news, or concept a work. I really can't recommend it enough. The archive has many classics explaining how the internet works, how computers work, how ecliptic curve encryption works. Seriously, just listen and learn!
Getting to be unlistenable
When I listen to podcasts, I'm looking for the hosts to understand the material and provide me with their opinions on the matter. Unfortunately Steve has decided that that's too much effort and now spends his time just reading others reports or press releases to the audience.
EDIT: someone suggested playing this episode at 1.5x. OMG does it make it so much better.
Less ads
Steve is great but my god Leo is annoying, I hate the super long ads repeatedly , seems like Steve just reads articles from a couple sources essentially just regurgitating them

Quotes:"Infirm of purpose!Give me the daggers. The sleeping and the deadAre but as pictures. 'Tis the eye of childhood fears a painted devil" Lady Macbeth's say this to Macbeth while he refuses to go back into the chamber. This quotes is saying that the dead can no hurt you just as pictures cant either and children are scared of pictures. Again Lady Macbeth is calling Macbeth a coward."Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather The multitudinous seas incarnadine,Making the green one red." As Macbeth says this he is desperate. He wants the blood to be clean from his hands even if it takes all the worlds oceans to do so. But then he thinks it wont work as hes done to much bad and all the water will turn red. He kmows this was a mistake and he can not be foregiven

As technology continues to evolve, law enforcement is faced with the task of dealing with accusations of internet crimes.
Recently, a man had been the focus of media attention for his involvement in a spam scheme that affected a half million users on the popular social networking site Facebook. The man, claiming to be the Internet's "Spam King", had previously been ordered by a federal judge to stay off social media networks. But when he turned himself in to FBI agents, it was clear that he did not follow that order and now is facing stiff punishment for his latest spamming.
According to the article, the man allegedly pirated 500,000 Facebook accounts and inundated users with spam messages. His mode of operation consisted of using a self-developed app to gain illegal access to the Facebook accounts with phishing messages, which routed users to fake sites that collected their account information. Using the account information, the man was then able to spam those users' friends as well.
He faces a number of federal charges including several counts of fraud and criminal contempt after ignoring orders to remain off certain social networks. The man is potentially facing 16 years in prison; he could also be ordered to pay a hefty fine.
This is just the latest in a long past of Internet-related charges for the man. While the details of his past offenses are not given in the article, it is likely that those charges stemmed from spamming incidents as well.
Penalties for federal crimes such as fraud are often severe. But this man has also intentionally violated a previous court order. This could result to more serious penalties, greater than if he had not accessed the networking sites.

See the daily excerpt from the preparatory catechesis for the 2015 World Meeting of Families, "Love is Our Mission: The Family Fully Alive."
87. The parish, the diocese, and other Catholic institutions such as schools, movements, and associations, are especially key for children who do not have two parents. Children may be without one or both parents for a variety of reasons, including death and illness, divorce, immigration, war, alcohol and drug addictions, domestic violence, abuse, political persecution, and unemployment or itinerant working conditions due to poverty. Sadly, sometimes husbands and wives and mothers and fathers separate, often for reasons demanding our compassion. "The emotional upheaval suffered by children of separated couples who suddenly find themselves with a single parent or in a 'new' family poses a challenge for bishops, catechists, teachers, and all who are responsible for the young…. It is not a question of replacing their parents but of collaborating with them."
In its introduction, the document says its aim is to present "Catholic teaching in a way that is fresh, insightful, and accessible to contemporary Catholics and all people of good will." The catechesis "offers a narrative beginning with our creation, soberly noting our fall and the challenges we face, but emphasizing God's plan for our salvation. Love is our mission, and it is by loving God and one another that we will be fully alive."
Each day in CatholicPhilly.com's World Meeting of Families section you can reflect on the official Catholic teaching on the family presented in the catechesis, pray a special prayer together as a family or individually, and stay on top of breaking news about the events coming Sept. 22-27, 2015.
Order the catechesis for your home via Our Sunday Visitor, and visit WorldMeeting2015.org for more information on the events.

Help keep Catholic media free, support CatholicPhilly.com
You may have noticed "pay walls" greeting you when you visit the websites of newspapers and magazines, both large and small. These mechanisms allow you to read a few articles for free before you've got to pay an annual fee if you want to see more.
You won't find a pay wall on CatholicPhilly.com because we're more than a news organization. We're informing, inspiring and forming readers in the Catholic faith every day through the news, features and commentaries that we post on this site and share across social media.
It costs money to provide high-quality coverage of the local Catholic communities we primarily serve, while also distributing national and world news of interest to Catholics, plus the orthodox teachings of the Catholic faith.
Help us in this mission by making a single gift of $40, $50, $100, or more. Your gift will strengthen the fabric of our entire Catholic community.
