The word Id like to explore and re-define for myself here today is the word 'Alive'.
Lately I have been noticing that things have seemed a bit 'dull' or 'dead' or 'boring' so here I am going to investigate the word 'Alive' and look at how I can apply myself within and as this word, to Live this word for myself instead of just waiting around for something to happen to me that 'peaks my interest' where in a way I am waiting for something to happen so that I can be or feel alive instead of me standing as this point within and as myself where I am the Direct Principle Here.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to separate myself from the word 'Alive' not seeing, realizing, understanding, or considering the point of redefining the word 'Alive' into a practical livable expression of and as myself so that I am no more separating myself from this word but thus am taking responsibility for myself to become the Living Word of and as Alive so that I can express myself as Alive and thus am no more accepting and allowing myself to exist in separation of this point and so having no power within and as myself to be/live direct this for myself.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to participate with boredom as if there is nothing I can do about it and as if boredom is a real thing that just happens to me where in this I have not considered that for me to exist within and as boredom I am in fact allowing this to be where I see that I have not yet deliberately taken responsibility for myself in relation to the word 'boredom' from the perspective of realizing that when boredom is here, that I am in fact able to direct myself 'out of it' or to no more just accept this as who I am, and so
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that boredom exist as me as the manifestation of when I do not direct me as Alive, thus indicating and showing me that I have not yet taken responsibility for myself within the context of being, living, doing, expressing me as 'Alive' as a deliberate Self Willed Expression of me as who I am as the Living Word of and as 'Alive' as an expression of me that I decide to do and express for and as myself and thus because I have not done this, I have accepted and allowed boredom to exist instead because I have not made the decision to move and direct myself out of the point of boredom, out of the expression of boredom which is where I will in a way become a personality and character of and as boredom where part of this personality/character is the acceptance and allowance that I am powerless to do anything about it, that I am unable to change myself to not be bored and so
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to exist within and as helplessness in relation to being alive where I have accepted and allowed myself to exist in such a way where I have not yet taken responsibility for or had even considered myself able to take responsibility for my own aliveness so to speak where I am the one who Determine who I am within the context of 'Alive' in each and every moment, instance, situation, where this becomes a deliberate equal and one expression as me and not something that 'happens to me' that is 'out of my hands'
When and as I see myself existing within and as the experience of boredom or that I see this experience coming up where things just feel dull and boring and plain, and dead, I stop and I breathe. I realize that this experience is a Self Accepted experience that I have allowed through a point of not yet taking responsibility for myself within this context and thus Directing Myself to in fact Give Me that which I would prefer to do and be other than being bored which is to be engaged and interested in what is here, in the moment. And so Here I commit myself to when and as I find myself in this experience of boredom or notice this point coming up to within this, stop for a moment and take a breath, and to Stand Up within myself and not allow myself to sink into/go into that boredom experience, and thus rather to Assert/ Direct Myself within and as the Living Expression of being 'Alive' where Here I move myself into physically interacting, expressing, exploring, investigating, engaging with my surroundings, reality, what is here and in doing this I commit myself to take responsibility for myself within the context of being Alive and thus no more simply accept and allow 'boredom to come over me' but to instead practically support myself to Become Alive as a Deliberate Self Willed Action/Expression of myself as the Living Word of and as Alive as the act of deliberately physically moving and expressing myself in my physical reality in terms of exploring and investigating and pushing myself and my expression to really explore who I am and how I am able to express me and live in any given moment, in this no more accepting and allowing the point of boredom to direct me and 'tell me' who I am in any given moment.

The Lady With The Trolley – Part 1
02/03/2013 Leave a comment
The trains passing over the railway arch sounded like thunder. They always did. But Ron Price was used to it. For the past few months, the archway was where he had slept.
During the day he'd wander around, sometimes meeting up with some of his fellow street people, sometimes just sitting on the bench in the park to watch the world go by. He tended to stay away from the 'normals' – he knew he smelled a bit funny and his drinking problem meant that he could be a bit intimidating to people.
He was quite accepting of his current status in life. Oh, at first, he was angry and depressed and raged at the world for putting him in this situation. But now he understood that it didn't take much for someone's world to fall apart. A wrong decision here, a piece of bad luck there, and before you knew it you could be right where he was now.
In his previous life, he was software developer. Nothing flash, nothing fancy, but it paid the bills and he had a comfortable life. He worked hard, and although didn't have any savings, he was paid enough to live in a nice enough way. But then the gambling started. It started small – a bet on the football at weekends, placing money on a couple of horses in the Grand National – but eventually the bets got bigger, the stakes higher. He started spending more than he was earning. Payments on credit card bills got delayed, then missed. Car tax wasn't bought when it should have been.
Car insurance was not bought, which meant driving illegally, which meant he lost his license.
He then took longer to get to work, public transport being what it was. And because he was no longer driving to work in the morning, he thought he could enjoy more than the odd glass of wine in the evening. In fact, as he lived alone, why not have three glasses? Or six? Or a bottle or two?
Before long he was waking up nearly every morning, late and hungover, and getting into work later and later.
Of course, the gambling was still taking place, the need of the thrill of winning still sparking something in his brain that needed satisfying. Eventually though, even this had to stop because he lost his job.
He turned up one morning, nearer lunchtime than the start of the day, threw up in to the bin under his desk, and fell to the floor with a blazing headache. He was escorted from the building.
With no job, no car, and now with a quite crippling drink problem, the last thing to go was his home. He rented, he could never afford to buy, and after two months missed rent he was given notice. One month later, he had nowhere to live. With no family alive, and no friends to speak of (having alienated everyone with his drinking and loans for gambling) he was all alone and on the street. He begged, sat with his back against the wall of the local library,
and he usually got enough to buy the cheapest, strongest, biggest bottle of booze he could get. He'd then get back to his little patch under the archway and drink until he blacked out.
Now, he had settled into his new life with a sense of entitlement – he deserved this. Of course he wished that he could turn the clock back and do things differently but wishing for things like that was pointless. He was not at the point of ending it all, he still valued his own life enough to want to live, but he felt he was just existing rather than living.
It was during one of his trips to the park, while sat on the bench with a quiet buzz on from a bottle of cheap vodka he had managed to get hold of, that he met the lady with the trolley. She was in her late sixties, if he had to guess, dressed comfortably in a long wool skirt and spring jacket. Her hair, a mixture of grey and white, was held up in a bun at the back of her neck. The trolley was one of those shopping ones that ladies of her age pushed ahead of them, boxy with four small wheels. She was walking along the path that ran through the middle of the park, toward his bench, and as she approached her eyes never left him. She was smiling softly at him, as if to say "oh there you are!". As she reached the bench, she stopped, looking down at him. Ron looked up, and the sun behind her head caused him to squint a little.
"Hello dear" she said, "isn't it a lovely day?"
"It's OK" replied Ron. "Warm enough".
"I've seen you around the library, haven't I?" she asked, "asking for money".
"Yeah, sometimes I guess" he replied.
"You seem like you've hit some hard times, you poor dear. I could help you know. Would you like to come with me, and let me buy you something to eat?"
Now this was something strange to Ron. Usually, the normal people would avoid even looking at him, but to be spoken to so kindly, let alone be given an offer of some food… this was all new. But maybe because of the vodka, or maybe because of how genuinely kind she seemed, Ron decided to take her up on the offer.
"That would be nice, thank you" he said. With a grunt, he raised himself from the bench, and the two of them started along the path that led out of the park.

Pentecost 23 – 2017
Matthew 25:1-13
Marian Free
In the name of God who has given us everything and to whom we owe everything in return. Amen.
My parents tell a story of my godmother Catherine. Neither Catherine nor her mother had any interest in cooking. Meals at their home generally consisted of meat and salad. On one occasion when my parents were staying with Catherine, my mother was making the dinner. When Catherine offered to help, mum asked her to stir the white sauce. Catherine couldn't concentrate on the task. As a result the sauce was lumpy and inedible. When my mother asked why she hadn't kept stirring, Catherine replied: "I didn't think continuously meant that I had to stir it all the time." Catherine had no commitment to cooking, so her approach was careless and lackadaisical with the result that the dinner was ruined.
I'm sure that you can think of many situations in which things don't go as well as they could due to someone's lack of commitment, their failure to think things through or their casual approach to the task or the event.
This morning's parable is all about being fully engaged in the task at hand. It is, I think, one of the most confronting of all the parables. The shut door does not sit well with our image of Jesus as loving, forgiving and compassionate and I suspect that we all feel a chill at the possibility of Jesus slamming a door in our face.
It is essential that remember that this is a story not a real event. We don't have to puzzle over details such as whether the markets would be open in the middle of the night or where exactly the girls were. We just have to take the story at face value. There are ten girls waiting for a bridegroom. Of the ten only five have thought to bring extra oil so that they can be sure to ready to greet the groom when he arrives.
We know very little of the marriage customs of Jesus' time. Based on the practices of surrounding cultures we can assume that it was the practice of the groom to go to the bride's home to negotiate the bride-price with the father. As this might involve a certain amount of haggling, the timing of the groom's return home could not be determined with accuracy. Add to this the fact that the notion of time was quite fluid – "this evening" could mean anytime after sundown. The girls would have had no idea when to expect the groom. The groom was expected after dark as the girls had their lamps with them and their lamps were lit.
Five of the young women had extra oil and five did not. Even so, the reaction of the bridegroom appears to be harsh in the extreme. Five of the girls were foolish and ill prepared, but they were not bad. They had not broken the law or committed even a minor misdemeanour. I think that this is why the parable offends our sense of justice – the punishment does not seem to fit the crime. Surely mere foolishness is not enough to lead to such final and definitive exclusion?
In fact, foolishness is not the problem, neither, despite Matthew's addition to the parable, is sleep. It is true that the five foolish virgins were not bad but they were thoughtless, careless and unfocussed. Theirs was an important responsibility, but they had not taken it seriously enough. They had one job and one job only – to greet the bridegroom and to lead him to his house, but when he arrived they were nowhere to be seen. Five of the girls had prepared for the eventuality that the groom would be delayed, but five had not. The first five had thought about the role and what it required and the others had not. The five foolish girls did not really have their heart in the task, they had taken their responsibility lightly and in so doing they have in effect shown their true colours and locked themselves out. Their actions (or rather their lack of action) demonstrated that they were only half-hearted about their involvement in the wedding, they were happy to be involved, but not willing to do what it took to take the role seriously.
A number of the parables point in this direction – that is they make it clear that it is not so much that God judges us, but that by our own inaction, our own carelessness or indifference we make it clear that we do not really want to belong. Take for example the parable of the man without the wedding garment: he was happy to come to the wedding but couldn't be bothered dressing appropriately. The parable of the house on the rock and the house on the sand suggests that it is our decisions and our actions that determine how the future will play out. Whether we are invited in or locked out depends, at least in part, on how much we want to be included, on whether or not we are truly conscious of what a great privilege it is to have been chosen in the first instance.
Being good is not enough on its own. The parable shows that it is possible to be good but not attentive, to be good but not thoughtful, to be good but in some sense to be absent. Today's reading from Joshua gives us some sense of what is required of us – to revere God and to serve God in sincerity and faithfulness – that is, to give ourselves completely and unreservedly, holding nothing back; not half-heartedly and superficially, distracted by worldly affairs.
Joshua's challenge to the people of Israel rings out through every generation: "Chose this day whom you will serve" and having chosen: "Revere the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness – fully committed, totally focussed and completely engaged in our relationship with God – then and only then will we truly know God and know that God truly knows us.

Fall of Spartacus: Final Images
After compositing my renders, I decided to create two final images. One basic beauty shot, with just a plain black background and no blurring or grain filters, intended to display the model and textures without any distractions.
The second final image is the composition I was working towards according to my concept. It features the background from earlier, as well as more stylized saturated colours and a film grain filter.
Closing thoughts:
I am pretty satisfied with my image and the work I put in. I think it turned out relatively well, and that I improved upon many aspects of 3D work that I would consider weaknesses of mine. Like texturing, lighting and rendering.
Texturing is really mostly a matter of putting in the time to work on it, as opposed to trying to get it done as quickly and painlessly as possible. I'd say the texturing I did on this project isn't great(the character is decent, the environment and the demonic arms aren't so good), but quite a bit better than I have done previously. It's definitely something for me to build on.
I've always thought that texturing is all about photo-manipulation, which I have had no trouble with in regards to environments, but I am still not sure how to effectively work that into characters, as their UV's are too complicated to just slap a sampled image on them.
I spent quite some time researching lighting and rendering. I read Essential Lighting Techniques With 3DS Max by Darren Brooker, which helped me out a lot. I think my understanding of light and shadow improved immensely during this project.
I am particularly happy about learning more about render passes and compositing. I really love the amount of control I have over my final images with this approach, and it's definitely something I'm going to use in my workflow from now on.
The UVW issue I ran into was quite regrettable. Fortunately I was able to resolve it and move on, but I was stuck for over 3 weeks on that one, trying to work around it as best I could while looking for a solution. As much as I love Zbrush, I find that in my pipeline, the transition back and forth between Max and Zbrush is the place I most often run into problems that destroy both my schedule and my momentum. It seems every time I feel like I am aware of, and taking care to avoid, all potential problems, a new one pops up to get me.
That said, aside from the UVW issue, I think my workflow was pretty effective this project. I managed that time well and had no trouble with the deadline.
I got off to a good start by spending some time properly visualising the image with my concepts and mockups before starting 3D work proper. It was nice to work with a clear objective in mind rather than making it up as I went along. The modeling was quick and painless, and I had it done by the beginning of December, leaving me plenty of time to work on my textures and read about lighting and rendering.
I'm happy with the resulting image. I believe I got a decent result, considering I decided to go for low poly with normal maps, as opposed to high poly with displacement maps. That is a character that could conceivably be put directly into a game engine.

Today we hosted a last minute afternoon open boat trip for stripers. Had Ryan, Nick, Peter and Jesse out for some live lining.
Broke the inlet and looked for some bait. Very broken up and couldnt get the net on em. Snagged a few and went looking. Got a call from Capt Jerry P who said he had some fish working. Set up and had bites in no time, just couldnt come tight.
Made a move to the east and got em going. Nice fish blowing up on top. Ended up going 5 for 10 or so. Most fish were in the 30lb class with one around 40 and another maxed out our 50lb scale!
Very nice evening out with some nice fish biting. Only had about a 45 minute window to catch em and they were gone. But the 50+lb was worth it all. Ryan will have that one mounted! The guys did great, thanks again!
At it again tomorrow.

I made a 3D poster for graphic design near the beginning of the semester, and let me tell you, it was harder than anticipated. Especially from a black and white design. But it works. Here's how I found out how to do it. Try it for yourself!
One of favourite directors of all time is Wes Anderson. I don't know if it's the tweeness of his films, or the symmetry, but I love it all. And now there's a whole exhibition of art based around his work. Oh how I wish I could go.
Bold design always catches my eye. These Japanese posters have a hard graphic quality about them that I find very inspiring. Plus who can deny typography with the japanese characters? Take a look here.
I've been looking at style guides lately for class and for some freelancing. Here are some gorgeous ones. Who says the design has to stop with just the branding? A designer designs everything. Take a look at them here.
These pulpy posters inspired me for an illustration project I had. The style is colorful, dreamy, and interesting. Take a look here.
That's it!

1. Bat in a bra.
2. SAT scandal in the offing? There'll be more of this kind of story in the future, as exam boards increasingly use online marking systems – with 24/24 marking, your 'A' level script could be marked anywhere. Not by me though, because the system doesn't support Macs or indeed any browser other than the latest IE.
3. Former head of MI5 calls government's 42-day detention plans unworkable. The Telegraph reader responses to this story are interesting.
4. While teachers and other public sector workers get a pay rise of less than 3%, BBC executives get 17%. So that's all riggghhert then. Are these people really worth this much? I'd do the job for hundred grand, and I'd be good at it, too.
5. Interesting piece in the Times about the views of England offered by BBC and ITV. It's a bit like the old Magpie vs. Blue Peter debate. The thing is, you have to take everything you read about the BBC in a News Group newspaper with a pinch of salt. The sneering attitude to the BBC is clearly mindful that the BBC is a (very well funded) rival to Sky. In reality, I suspect that the readership of The Times prefers BBC England to ITV England. What do you think?
6. Now he's about to leave office, Bush will sign anything to do with climate change, apparently. Mind you, it's a pretty anodyne document, stuffed with weasel expressions like "consider and adopt". Either you're going to adopt or you're not.
7. Finally, the best news of the week so far is that Channel 4 are going to be showing Tony Palmer's classic 1977 documentary series All You Need is Love. Consider this: not only was The Rutles ("All You Need is Cash") a spoof of one episode in this series, but it takes a further 16 episodes to survey the history of popular music in the 20th century. I haven't seen it since it was originally shown, but this was a landmark documentary series in the same vein as The World at War, The Ascent of Man, James Burke's Connections and Alastair Cooke's America. These days, they'll show you four 1-hour documentaries and purport to be offering a history of pop music. Palmer's 17-episode series only gets up to the mid-1970s – and you'd need a further 6/7 episodes to cover the years since in the same depth. This is a documentary about which you'd say, they don't make 'em like that any more.
Part of the reason for that is the media companies got much more savvy about ownership of rights to back catalogue. Until the advent of the CD, the music industry tended to neglect the old in favour of the new. When I was buying my Beatles' LPs in the late 1970s, I had to buy cheap Greek imports because record shops didn't stock the whole back catalogue — less than 10 years after the band split, and while Lennon was still alive. I had to special-order such items as The Who Live at Leeds and The Doors' first album.
Tony Palmer's documentary looked back at recent history (he goes back to field songs and spirituals) at a time when bands like The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and The Eagles were deeply unfashionable. I don't think Punk gets much of a look in, and even Mr Springsteen may be conspicuously passed over, so the programme will look dated in many ways. However, the first 13/14 episodes are golden. People often wonder how I know so much about popular music – this programme is the reason.
You'll have to set the PVR though, because they're sticking it on at 12.55 in the morning.

The United Nations Security Council voted unanimously Wednesday to impose new sanctions on Liberia if the country continues to support RUF rebels in Sierra Leone. The U.N. has asked Liberia to cut its links and stop sending aid to RUF rebels, cease all direct or indirect import of Sierra Leone rough diamonds not certified by the government, ground all Liberian aircraft until the country sets up an acceptable registration system for planes and to ensure rebels allow U.N. peacekeepers to move freely through Sierra Leone.
If Liberian President Charles Taylor does not comply with the U.N. demands by May 7, the U.N. will impose sanctions including an embargo on all Liberian diamond exports and a travel ban for all senior members of the Liberian government and their spouses. The sanctions would be effective until May 2002, and the Security Council could vote to extend them if Liberia hasn't complied. In addition, Wednesday's resolution calls for the creation of a panel of experts to investigate violations of the embargoes and to collect information on Liberia's compliance with the council's demands.
Before the Security Council's vote, Liberian officials announced the government would suspend diamond exports for 120 days while it creates a diamond certification system. Government officials continue to deny backing RUF rebels, but say they will fully cooperate with the U.N. to prevent the implementation of sanctions. Taylor also promised to expel Sierra Leone rebels from Liberia and says he has already grounded aircraft, the Associated Press reports.

A zero waste lifestyle is not about demanding perfection; it's about small steps that reduce your ecological footprint through new habits around the purchasing and disposing of consumer products. It's about spreading mindfulness in consumption, and reducing the need to both buy and throw things out, particularly those made of plastic that might be destined for the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

I just got done playing Knights of the Old Republic for about nine hours. It's really cool. The other day Robert described it as Morrowind, with a little bit of Final Fantasy, set in the Star Wars Universe, which is a pretty accurate description of it.
I went in for my interview at one of the prisons today. I don't know if it went so well. I will find out on Monday whether I'm going to get hired or not. Also Monday I have an interview at the other prison. I just hope the first one doesn't call while I'm gone.
I'm too tired to write any more right now, I didn't get much sleep last night. I had to get up at 8:00 this morning to get ready for the interview.

Overall great experience. Buying a home is never an easy process, but VU makes it as easy as possible.
My loan officer, Zach Gunter, and his assistants, Sean Riley and Andrew Nelson, were outstanding providing unequalled support through the entire process. The whole team uncluding the unsung heroes operating behind the seens were superb.
Great Customer Service!
It was not a professional experience. I will be refinancing my loan with USAA as soon as possible
First time the VA ever provides services with respect and concern. The reason I bought this property, because John was so very helpful. Through a difficult seller an all..
The notification to me that I was required to purchase flood insurance came way late in the financing process.
Great experience! Scott and his team were very helpful through the entire process and maDE it easy to get our lon approved and on the way to home ownership very quickly!
Very easy process and friendly staff!!
Professional and competent personnel.
Matt Hadley and Colin Park were extremely helpful at answering all of our questions and ensuring we had the information we needed to move forward. Kim Duncan on the other hand was unhelpful and extremely rude, snappy, and failed to do her job on paperwork that caused delay and when we went to advise on the situation she failed to know how to resolve or even listen to actually help. The help she provided was useless and ignored what was told to her. Her emails were rude and she at the end never called when asked.
So happy that Veterans United took the time and effort to get my family and me in a home! They worked so hard for me. Im so thankful !
Very smooth process

I decided to hack a hack and make a slightly different version based on Collette's Sorbetto top.
New techniques/skills
– making my own bias binding
– darts
– Making my own pattern
What I need to work on
– cutting bias binding stripes
– rolled hems
– darts
From the original Collette pattern I made another pattern, this time keeping the darts but I added the length and curved hem at the bottom. I again took out the centre panel and left off any front pocket. I also picked somewhere inbetween the original and original hack neck lines and drew a new neckline using my french curve
I used my favorite french seams for the sides and shoulders.
I kept the bust darts this time round they aren't perfectly symmetrical but I don't think that is noticeable when being worn. It was a bit of a faff trying to sew in exactly the correct place especially ending them in the correct place
I did give using my rolled hem foot a couple of goes on some scrap fabric but couldn't get more than 3cm of nice rolled hem before it all went wrong. I think it might work better with a much lighter fabric – and probably a lot more practice.
Not wanting to mess things up completely I faked a rolled hem with regular stitching and ironing, and it is a little better then my previous top.
The big deal this time round was my matching material bias binding. Which was a project all on its own.
Ever one to get the most for my money I used the largest disguarded scraps of my material to make the bias binding. This did mean I had a lot more seams then maybe would have been ideal but it gave me more practice and waste not want not.
Using not that large a piece of material did have one advantage though, it meant I could use my sturdy 30cm ruler to guide my rotary cutter most of the way.
I have a lovely long 1m ruler but it is too chunky to run my rotary cutter along side.
Cutting strips was probably the hardest part of this task. I drew out my lines in fabric pen, then placed my ruler along each line and tried to cut carefully. I had a few wonky ends where my ruler ended or I managed to go slightly off course and every time I did so two strips were affected. However I had more than enough strips to edge the neckline and armholes plus the wonky edges are are not seen once you sew in the bias binding so it all worked.
The second trickiest part was sewing the strips together, slightly wonky ends don't help when you want to make balanced exact diagonals. Also I sewed off the end a couple of times. But the most challenging part was getting everything the best way round to connect right sides to continue with raw edges underneath. I had several moments when I realised after sewing two pieces together that I either had one back to front or I had the raw edges showing. (there is one raw edge on display that I didn't notice until after I had had attached it to the top. But the edge is cut very short so it isn't that noticeable, I left it as is on the top.
Having purchased a set of these bias binding maker tools – off ebay a cheaply as I could for quick delivery – I had some fun figuring out what to do with it. They are a little fiddly to use but once you get started they work well, if you keep ironing as you go. Getting that good pressed line meant slow work. Only letting a little material through at a time is the trick. When I was finished I kept the iron and anything else heavy I could find on my newly made binding to help it really keep the shape on the folds lines.
I like the result, and I like this top better than my first Sorbetto, though it is maybe a still a bit roomy I think the bust darts do give it a better shape. I also prefer the slightly higher neck. Again I made this out of a similar weight cotton to the first and think fabric with a little more drape might have worked better.
I will be calling this one a success though as I have been washing and wearing regularly since making.

Seventy-five miles east of Salt Lake City, Michael and Lincoln hear about Abruzzi's death on the radio, expressing surprise that he was the first down. In Green River, WY, C-Note has managed to sneak onto a train with half a ticket, explaining "Sherry" let him on regardless. The conductor is skeptical. In a bed in Mack, CO, Debra Jean wishes she could keep driving past Utah into Hawaii. Tweener, who is actually not a moron, says no one can drive there… because it's a magical fairyland! Never mind. Someone knocks on their motel door and Tweener quickly hides in the bathroom as DJ answers — it's a police officer, holding up a picture of escaped convict Tweener… with hair!
DJ now knows the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but, yet claims she never saw him. When the cop leaves, Tweener explains he only stole a baseball card, and is not like the other guys who escaped. She calmly explains she'll take a walk, and when she returns, expects her car to be gone, which she'll report as stolen. Then, maybe her car will be found abandoned somewhere. He follows her roundabout instructions, angrily driving as DJ reporting her "stolen" vehicle is played over this scene. He stops in the middle of nowhere, wipes down his prints, and scrawls hastily in the desert dust on the window: ALOHA. Mahalo.
Michael and Lincoln have arrived in Tooele, UT, but nobody knows where the Double K Ranch is. They'll have to go into a municipal building to access the public records, which is crawling with police cops. Money will make people do anything. A little over to the left, T-Bag picks up a newspaper. That's T-Bag, with a capital T that rhymes with P that stands for pool! He steals Cheetos and hungrily devours them, spotting Tweener, who looks like he shits a brick. Maybe two. T-Bag catches up to him and coerces him to help, what with his gimp hand and his knowledge of the money's location. Tweener thinks: $$$$$$$ > buttsects.
We find out from the FBI that the father (from last episode) was "violently assaulted." Does that mean he's still alive, but missing an ear or something? Sixty percent of Michael's hard drive, that was dredged from the river, has been recovered. Mahone yells at the other agents for lack of information on Scofield (there was plenty on the others), then stares at the D.B. Cooper articles some more. He goes to his pen for the sweet pills and finds none. He's grouchy and anxious and nervous and irritable. Sounds like colic.
A hundred miles outside of Las Vegas, Sucre calls all the chapels to find Hector's and Maricruz's wedding. When he arrives at the correct one, he meets Theresa, Maricruz's sister. "You don't want her to marry Hector, do you?" he asks. She tells him she's busy, but will tell her he's here. Later, Hector the Asshole shows up to tell him she's not going with Sucre because she's a "smart girl." Yeah, right. Sucre yells that he doesn't want him to be raising his child as police sirens pierce the air. Fueled by yet another betrayal, he punches his asshole coz and runs out the door, into Theresa, who tells him to leave. When she nods after he asks if she told Maricruz he was here, he yanks off his crucifix chain to give to her. The actress for Maricruz must be out of commission. Good.
Michael and Lincoln enter the public records office, but Mike beeps after walking through the metal detector. He hesitantly takes off his watch as the security guard eyes the tattoo around his wrist that's now revealed. The public records guy is also suspicious, staring at them all the while they are perusing the maps. Or maybe he feels turned on by all the sexy? They find Karl Kokosing, who is Map 1213, but someone has already ripped out the page. They look out the window just as T-Bag leaves the building.
They follow him and harass him, especially his limp, disgusting hand. (PleasefalloffPleasefalloff.) T-Bag claims he made a deal with Tweener, but the kid stole it; meanwhile, he's busy buying digging supplies in a small store. The brothers lock T-Bag up in their trunk so they can find him. The shopkeeper recognizes Tweener as one of the Fox River Eight, and beats him up with a bat. This kinda reminds me of that Pulp Fiction scene where crazy hillbillies rape Ving Rhames. The owner drags him to the back room as Michael enters the store. He sees the fallen shovel, and various other items slightly askew and I figure he figures out what happened. The shopkeep comes to the front, and also recognizes Michael; a fight ensues. Lincoln saves the day by barging in while holding a gun. I think it's mostly the gun. In the trunk, T-Bag is fiddling with the wires.
When they ask Tweener about the map, he laughs and says, "He told you I had it?" They realize they've been played for fools as T-Bag memorizes the map in the now-lit trunk, then eats it. Yummy. When they return to their car and let T-Bag out, all that's left is a small sliver on his chest as he triumphantly advises, "Remember, when you're strip searching a lifer, you should always check the coin purse." Give them a break: Lincoln is a first-time prisoner and Michael's a pretty, college boy. Also, ew. They realize they have no choice but to work with T-Bag. Tweener is of no use to them, so they lock him in the trunk.
C-Note nicely asks his next-seat neighbor if he could borrow her laptop to check his e-mail. In reality, he logs onto the United States Army Signal Corps website to check for "K K Ranch." As he notes the coordinates, the conductor returns to tell him that there is no "Sherry," that his ticket is void and that he will be accompanied by security until the police at the next stop can escort him. He tries to give another excuse, but as he sees the guards come down the aisle, he jumps out of the train into the waiting river below in Preston, ID. Wouldn't it have been much more fun, if it were rocks? Thousands and thousands of rocks?
In Chicago, Agent Kim asks Agent Kellerman if pursuing Sara Tancredi is really the best use of their time — they want Lincoln Burrows. Kellerman believes Sara will lead him to Michael, and in turn, to Lincoln. Kim dials President Reynolds to inform her of his status, whereupon Kellerman says he will. Kim smiles slyly and insists he will contact her directly. Uh-oh, are Kellerman and Caroline on the outs now? Don't worry, I think she still cares. After all, she picked an agent with the same first letter in his last name as you!
Sara receives another origami bird, this time in the mail and with a phone number written on it. At the Narcotics Anonymous meeting, "Lance" Kellerman tries to convince her to let him bake a pie for her. She's apprehensive, until he implies without saying he's gay that he's gay. Way to dissuade a girl's dating fears, girlfriend. Sara calls her father, who's in a meeting with advisors advising him to distance himself from his daughter. She leaves a voicemail, taking responsibility for her actions and apologizing, realizing she made things hard (thanks to the NA meetings). Later, "Lance" drops by with a bunch of stuff for dinner.
Apparently he made Chinese food or something East Asian since they are eating with chopsticks. Or maybe they are crazy people who just eat everything with chopsticks? She asks him if he knows who she is and he slowly admits it. He asks if she and Michael were… you know, when the door knocks — it's her father! They talk in the kitchen as Kellerman finds the origami bird with the phone number on it; he saves it on his cell. Father and daughter actually talk: she tells him about her program and how they need to make amends. Then she switches over to believing in Lincoln's innocence and how all the people involved in the case were dead, missing, or incarcerated. She admits she's scared, and they hug. Aw, isn't that what you wanted, Sara?
Mahone has dry mouth. I'm assuming, because he keeps rubbing it. He gets a phone call and meets the caller, who is an informant on the Shales case and his drug dealer. He asks about Shales and Mahone is pissy, asking for one thing only: Medazepam. Or Midazolam. I guess he has a new obsession now… Scofield. After taking his pills, he is all easy breezy in figuring out the dead Charles Westmoreland was D.B. Cooper, and that most of the convicts were headed west because of the money he hid there. What the hell is in those drugs? (It's supposed to be a sedative/relaxant.)
C-Note made his way to Cache County, UT and spots an opportunity to use someone's hose. The owner comes out and she questions his insanity. He notices an RV she's selling for $40,000. She doesn't think he can afford it, but he forcefully asserts that he will return with cash, as if he knows. (He's gonna die, right?) In Mesquite, NV, Sucre is filling his motorcycle gas tank as he sees the clock read 2:30, the time of the wedding. Mahone stares at the bird bath again, before his flight to Utah. Some guy informs Governor Tancredi of his flight to Washington, D.C., and that he might not get the vice-presidential nod if he digs too deep in the Burrows case. He drops the files on the desk as he leaves. (Does he think it suspicious now of all those "disappearances" and deaths around Lincoln?) Kellerman traces the phone number, but it has been disconnected for seventeen years. T-Bag, Michael, and Lincoln reach the top of the hill. Instead of seeing a silo, where the money's buried, there are row after row of houses. Shite.

The great Herminator just showed me this. Don'y know how I missed it. Really cool stuff from both Adidas and Nike. So Adidas are launching a football boot that will gather info on your game og practice session. As soon as you have finished playing, the boots will transmit the data wirelessly to your computer, phone or tablet. It records your speed, distance traveled and top speeds as well as monitoring everything you do at one second intervals. For more detail check out Simplyzesty.
And Nike to their Nike+ to a new level adding more sensors and more stuff you can measure.
I basketball shoes, the sport sensor uses pressure data in combination with an accelerometer to calculate your movement, that way Nike+ Sports Sensor can measure how high your vertical jump is, how fast you're moving and how hard you're working all in real time.
You can see more stuff on Gizmodo.
This is really cool. I'm stoked and will start playing both football and basketball immediately.

I'm still looking for really good commercial Twitter campaigns. Starbucks and other brands have shown how you can integrate Twitter in your business model, but just a really good plain old campaign. This is from Mercedes and was developed by Razorfish. I think it is interesting. It is quite tech reliant and must have been very expensive to develop. But it is pretty nice. Enjoy.

Whaaat? Well read the statistic (Source: StatCounter). Mind you, this is only for the US market. I'm sure that in a market like Denmark, where StumbleUpon is virtually unknown, the stat is quite different! But interesting stuff, especially if you a a bit interested in Search Marketing. And also with the launch of Google+ and literally a new social network every week. Stuff is changing… again.

We witnessed an awesome miracle with Diana North. We discussed the Book of Mormon, and we came to find out Diana is reading ahead of the assignments Elder Hilborn and I invite her to read! Elder Hilborn felt it was time to talk about the Word of Wisdom. Diana listened carefully. By the end of the discussion, she committed to live the Word of Wisdom by surrendering all of her coffee and cigarettes. Diana and her son even tore a few of those putrid deathsticks! Of course, there's been obstacles. There was a moment we thought we were going to lose her, but because of the incredible involvement of the Ward Mission Leader's wife, Diana chose to continue the fight. There is no doubt in my mind the prayers upon the behalf of those whom I am teaching brought about this wonderful blessing!
It was a difficult thing to say goodbye to Elder Hilborn. I hadn't realized I had made such a great friend until it was time to part. It was a very sad time. However, I have a new companion. His name is Elder Michael Zurcher (pronounced Zer - ker) from Providence, UT. Really close to home! Although we didn't know each other, we do know some of the same people (Makayla Holt and Audrey Durrant to name a couple). A very neat coincidence.
The one time Elder Zurcher isn't camera-shy is when he has an opportunity to use my iPad without my knowledge.
|Elder Zurcher from Providence, Utah
Also, we had the opportunity to teach Martha again. We taught from the Book of Mormon and testified of it's truth. Martha is one stubborn Catholic woman, but she is as wise, kind, and intelligent as she is pig-headed. She's agreed to read the Book of Mormon and to pray about it. I myself am praying the Spirit will lead her to the truth.
William is doing very well! We are pals! William teases me a ton, and I give it right back. Because William has a lot of time, he enjoys coming with us to teach. How I wish you could have heard him testify to a man named Damon Anderson! William said, concerning the Spirit, "It is the greatest feeling you could ever feel." It was an awesome spectacle.
Another shot of William's baptism: yours truly, Elder Hilborn, William, Sister Viera, Sister Hansen, and Danny Higgins.
We've had the wonderful opportunity to meet with some of the single sisters in the ward: Diane Rasmussen and Renata Kraft. Sister Rasmussen is wishing to adopt me, silly woman. I love her so dearly. You'll never meet a more loyal, outspoken person. We call Sister Kraft 'Special K'. Sister Kraft loves nicknames and especially adores 'Special K' because it was given to her by the missionary that she claims converted her. As many frightening people one could meet in the streets, as many vindictive and poisonous back-biting members of the ward, there sure are some truly wonderful people here. Diamonds in the ruff.
I thank you again for your wonderful support. I've stopped trying to find the adequate words to describe my immense feelings of gratitude. I love you. I pray for you.

Birthers? Really?
First of all, I don't know how they came to be known as "birthers" but that is the stupidest name that I have ever heard. I know they didn't give it to themselves, but it is just plain stupid. And I am beginning to think that the birthers themselves must either be stupid or mentally ill. It is simply ridiculous to believe that President Obama was not born in the US. The real problem for these people is that all the evidence points in the other direction. But then again, I think for some people (perhaps most) they believe something regardless of any evidence to the contrary.
But I found an excellent article that lays some things out (including the idi… I mean, people, that are pushing this conspiracy theory) for those that are interested.
When I think about it, this controversy shouldn't really surprise me. There are some people that believe all kinds of weird things and evidence be damned!
Only 42% of Republicans think that Obama was really born in the US. (Source: Huffpost)
In 2007, about 68% of Republicans and 48% of all Americans said they do not believe in evolution. (Source: Gallup)
It gets worse:
In 2008, about 60% of Republicans and 45% of all Americans said that they earth was created about 10,000 years ago. (Source: Gallup)
So clearly, someone is perpetrating a huge conspiracy to cover up the fact that not only was the earth created 10,000 or so years ago, but Obama was born somewhere other than Hawaii. Those secular scientists are just making stuff up when they talk about the earth being millions of years old. And the (liberal) media, except Lou Dobbs, are just trying to cover up for their boy, Barack Obama.
Now we all understand why people believe that the earth was created a few thousand years ago… the Bible, of course. But why do people believe that Obama was not born here? Hmm… could it be… racism? Nah, I remember them saying that Clinton wasn't born in the US. Oh wait, no they didn't. They just accused him of being a murdering drug-dealer. Oh, you think I'm joking. Check it out here or here or just google "clinton mena" (as in Mena, Arkansas where there is an airport where the drugs were supposedly smuggled into the US). And you thought that Obama was the anti-christ. All the Democrats are evil. Just ask your local Republican.
UPDATE: The birthers now have evidence. You gotta love it. They won't accept the birth records from the US, but the ones from Kenya… of course, that's gotta be real.

I think the name "birthers" suits them. It reminds me of Birchers, as in members of the John Birch Society.

You probably can't tell that I love rain. But, I'm going to tell you that I love rain. I could probably stop there and you'd understand that this morning's post is about RAIN in Colorado. We don't get nearly enough of it here on the plains. And yet, coming home from La Junta last night, we saw miles and miles of rain flooded fields. (Okay, no flood, just rain puddles sitting in the fields.) We do LOVE rain.
I was slightly agrivated. They get rain all the time in La Junta and in Granada, on both sides of us, but here we sit in the middle with NO RAIN.
It's not that we deserve rain more than they do, or even that we deserve rain at all, but it's nice to have. That's my point! So, knowing that, I'm amazed that we don't get rain. I like green growing things, flowers, trees, moss on the north side of the house. Without rain, or at least morning dew to bring moisture to the ground, we don't have green growing things… At least, not the ones I want.
So, yes, I'm being selfish here, when I say – I love rain! I actually love having rain in my yard, because it means I have a green growing yard, and the kids have to mow! YEA!
Most days I try to do something other than ramble, but today – ramble is the name of the game.
If you took a moment to read this, I promise something of greater value later today.

The landmark case, Marbury v. Madison in 1803, is argued to be the most important court case in United States History. Federalist candidate John Adams was upset in the presidential election by Democratic-Republican candidate Thomas Jefferson. Amidst the chaos of the Federalists being defeated and a new political party taking over the executive branch, Adams began appointing many justices of peace. When Jefferson's Secretary of State, John Madison, did not deliver the commissions, William Marbury tried to get the court to write a writ of mandamus to force him to do so. In this case, Supreme Court Justice, John Marshall, arguably the most influential judge in United States history, established the principal of judicial review. This process gives a court the right to declare laws unconstitutional if they go against what is dictated in the constitution. This is incredibly influential as a part of United States history, politics of the present day, and even politics of the future. This case is applies checks and balances to the government and equalizes the judicial branch with the powers of the executive and judicial branches. This protects the citizens of the United States against having too large and powerful of a national government. It is fascinating that even today, we can use the process of judicial review that was established in 1803 in order to stay true to the Constitution.

For the majority of the time, money is no object in my house. Seriously. I defy anyone to find an object that even vaguely resembles money. Not even behind the cushions on the sofa. I've checked.
This frequently leads to moments that my 19 year old son calls PPP's. Poor People's Problems. I have had two such moments today. The first happened as I attempted to unwrap the last remaining toilet roll, one handed, whilst clearing the bathroom floor of wet towels, and discarded underpants. The roll broke free of its bonds, and I then performed a brief display of my keepy uppy skills, before I managed to slam dunk it into the toilet bowl! I now have it propped on the heated towel rail, in the forlorn hope it will dry out enough to serve purpose.
I then spent a very long ten minutes carefully rolling up my small tube of hugely overpriced lip cream in order to extract the very last smidge. It suddenly squirted out, shot over my shoulder, and landed on the dog! For a moment I toyed with the idea of retrieving it, but even I have my limits!
Never mind!! Pay day tomorrow!!

Unless you have been living in a cave, it is likely that you must have heard about the goodness of alkaline diet. Of course, all diet concepts have their share of controversies, but with the alkaline diet, the concerns are pretty limited. The diet mainly tells you to opt for foods and beverages that have high pH, and since this means excluding meat and dairy products from the diet, not everyone is excited. At Tru Balance Water, we wanted to make the concept more relevant for people, and that is why we bring the best vitamin enhanced water, with a pH level of 9.5. Yes, you heard that right! If you are unable to switch to a complete alkaline diet, our packaged water loaded with minerals and vitamins can help you in getting a start.
Alkaline water itself has a lot of benefits. It is great for the metabolism rate, works wondrously on regulating blood sugar levels and improves the hydration. We have enlisted the advantages and other aspects on our website, and our products are now available in all parts of Texas. If you have a few questions, feel free to write to us, and we will be happy to assist.

SOUL SURFER is the inspiring true story of teen surfer Bethany Hamilton, who lost her arm when a 14-foot tiger shark attacked her. She went on to overcome tremendous odds to become a champion again, and inspired millions worldwide through the love of her family, sheer determination, and her unwavering faith in Jesus Christ. The film features an all-star cast, including AnnaSophia Robb, Helen Hunt, Carrie Underwood in her film debut, and Dennis Quaid.
It's a great movie to watch with the family (probably better for kids 12+), as well as an opportunity to invite a friend/neighbor/co-worker, and then continue to conversation afterwards!

Lots of stuff happening this month and next – but I'll save most of it for another post.
The most current event is that I have resigned from my position as Director of Technology at Icovia, and accepted the position of Chief Developer at MyVbo. I can't talk too much about what we're doing – but the position is a very natural move for me, utilizing many of the skills I fine tuned at Icovia.
The new job involves a lot of work-from-home, which I haven't done in a long time – never with kids in the house. I've moved the home office down to the basement, which has the benefit of no longer having to work on a wireless connection.
I managed to get 3 days off between jobs, spending time with the kids, who are on vacation. I guess I regret that the weather is going to be miserable the whole time – but I think we're gonna make the best of it anyway.

People have asked me a lot "How are you doing it?" First of all there is no Secret! I used to search and search to find the secret to weight loss and as the pounds have come off I have realized that it is directly proportionate to the effort that I put into it.
Answering these two questions will tell me how I am doing: Am I exercising enough? Am I eating healthy?
The better I eat and the more I work out; the more weight I lose. So everybody looking to get healthy or lose weight there is your answer.
Now as far as exercise habits I try really hard to exercise for 45 minutes at least 3 times a week. Usually a 3.5 mile walk is the form of exercise I choose. Other times when I can make my exercise class it's a core strengthening class. Now that college classes started for me again this is getting pretty hard to do but I try my hardest. I really need to fit in some exercising this weekend.
I also try my hardest to eat clean. Lots of fruits vegetable, grains, dairy, and lean protein. I avoid the inside aisles of the grocery store. I try to avoid heavily processed food (I'm not perfect, that doesn't always happen). I count my calories and try to reach a specific protein goal for myself. Yes I do use a product. I use Herbalife which is an amazing product that I love! Helps me reach my protein goals and eat breakfast (which I suck at). The Herbalife tea helped me quit drinking soda. Just an all around asset on my journey. I am going to tell you though that if you are thinking of using any product from any company make sure you are truly committed to leading a healthy lifestyle. Nothing is magical, you are going to have to work, and it's going to be HARD work. Any product is just a tool to help you achieve your goals. The reason I'm saying this is because I have had people ask me if this is the "reason" I have lost weight and the answer is yes but it's one of MANY reasons that I have been successful.
Soooo….. The secret to losing weight is working hard, eating healthy, and using any tools that are available that will help you with that!

Danne's was a popular show bar, featuring live music and dancing. "He started it to earn extra money," said his wife, Mary Ann. "He began with one storefront and pretty soon it grew to three. That's where we met." Mr. Pradd also owned a painting and decorating business, Decorating by Pradd, in Elk Grove Village. Mr. Pradd, 70, a resident of Elk Grove Village for more than 20 years, died of a heart attack Wednesday, May 26, in his home. He was born in Chicago and grew up in Canaryville and Jefferson Park.

BBQ Evening Friday 2nd October 2015
October 2nd saw a Club evening BBQ with a turnout this year of over 14 members & their partners.
The evening started at 5.30 with daylight flying by some of the members with no major incidents occurring apart from Tez who found his wingless 'plane didn't fly very well. Night flying commenced after the BBQ with, at one point, 8 aircraft complete with various types of LED lighting taking to the air. A few near misses but all landed without damage. The evening, enjoyed by all, came to an end at 9.30 when all the boys & girls went home to bed.
Lee, Tarek,Mick,Dale,David, Jeff, Dick & Tez with Dick proving to Dawn that he really can cook.
The Support Team closely supervised by Graham.
Sunset over the field and nearly time for the night time flying.
Material supplied by my roving reporter Dawn King. Thanks Dawn.

Well, Meg and I have been terribly absent on the blog for the last week. Though we've been absent, we've also been terribly busy (hence the absence!). And there's lots to catch you all up on:
1. We got our first outside blog post reference! Yep that's right Baby Gone Green found our shop on Etsy and blogged about us up-cycling
2. We got another order for an awesome t-shirt at tumblewee (yeah it's not getting up and running terribly fast but it is getting up and running!) And boy did it turn out awesome! At first we were a little disappointed that the size made the sleeves a little asymmetrical where the seams hit but by the end it just "fit" the onesie so well to have a hip look on the sleeve like that. We LOVE when things don't go as planned with up-cycled clothing but turn out awesome just the same.
3. Meg & I have been able to spend a lot of time hashing out what we want for tumblewee and this blog (we even came up with a "schedule") so keep an eye out for some new and up coming features like: Monday Meals, Wednesday Wants, and Friday Mommy & Me Fashion! Here's a sneak peak for this Friday . . .
Not to mention more giveaways, discounts at tumbleweed, and holiday crafts! So keep checking back regularly . . . or better yet, subscribe!!
