I'm pleased to announce that Stanford will be hosting the California mirror of 2017 ACF Regionals on Saturday, February 18. Those who wish to find further information about the tournament can go to the original announcement here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=19259
Location and Logistics
I will update this section with information about rooms and start time once those things have been finalized.
Registration and Fees
Registration will be done through a central ACF form. A link will be added when that's available. In addition, send information about buzzers, moderators, and teams to bhhnguyen AT gmail DOT com.
The standard ACF fee schedule applies:
Base fee: $135
Buzzer: -$5/functional system
Staffers: -$10/staffer
Shorthanded fee (teams of 1 or 2 players): $60
New to quizbowl discount: -$100
New to Quizbowl discount is intended for schools which did not send a team to any regular collegiate academic tournament (exclusively Novice tournaments do not count) since September 2015, and have no one on the team(s) claiming this discount who played those tournaments for another school.
Packet Submission
As noted in the main announcement, you must submit a packet if your team has at least one person on it who played a regular, collegiate, academic quizbowl tournament* (either as a college student or as a high school student) prior to September 1, 2015. Because packet submission is on a per-team basis, your school may register multiple teams, some of which are packet-required and some of which are packet-exempt.
* This includes all ACF tournaments, NAQT Division I or Division II SCT, NAQT ICT, and typical academic invitationals and summer opens count, but does not include trash or "hybrid" tournaments, College Bowl/HCASC, and tournaments played on explicitly designated novice sets.
The submission schedule for this tournament is:
December 11th, 2016: -$50
December 28th, 2016: -$25
January 8th, 2017: +$0
January 22nd, 2017: +$25
February 5th, 2017: +$50
After that, +$10 for each additional day that you're late.
After February 12th, you will be dropped from the tournament, with no exceptions.
Please submit your packet to firstname.lastname@example.com. The actual e-mail with the attached packet should have a subject-line reading: "School + Team Letter (if applicable) PACKET". In order to meet a deadline, you must submit your packet before 11:59pm Pacific Time on that date. Packets should be submitted in Microsoft Word .doc or .docx format.
Berkeley x5
UCSD x2
Washington x2
Total: 12
Hope to see you there.

Bonjour, mes amis!
My family and I were visiting les parents de mon beau-père (my stepfather's parents) for dinner when his mother pulled out a jar from the fridge saying she wanted to give it a try. I happened to be sitting at the table, not facing the kitchen as the following events occurred. She quickly moaned at its scent and put the mango pickle in the trash, the rest of the family ran to inquire and also quickly backed off. My mother came to the table saying, "Oh that's disgusting!" while making some silly faces. I, already irritated by the fact they smoked two cigarettes on the way there, told her not to be so rude because there are people who eat and like them. She then announced loudly, "Delphine wants to try one!"
But alas, it had been done, and I had just been talking about being open-minded. I took the jar that was brought to me. This is sort of what I saw.
But a little less appetizing when it comes from a jar, and covered in a green oil-herb mix instead of red. The scent was just like brown-sugar, but I felt a little nauseous. Daunted by all of the strangeness, I asked for a fork. Mon beau-père snatched the jar, picked the small one I had been eying, and took a bite. He kept eating, so I made my move before I had a chance to think twice. It wasn't very appealing but it wasn't awful. A moment later it tasted comme cornichons à l'aneth (like dill pickles), and a moment after that it tasted little but was spicy. Well, to the extent pepperoni is, but I'm not a fan of spicy food. I ate the whole thing in one bite.
This is coming from the girl who doesn't like any sauces on her food beyond ketchup on fries and soy sauce on rice, the girl who didn't try sour cream on her baked potato until she was at least twelve. Oh how I've grown! I think Mom nearly had a heart attack but I don't think she ever tried it. Wiser of us two? Perhaps. More knowledgeable? Not when it comes to mango pickles.
À demain,
Mlle Delphine

Went for lunch on a late Saturday afternoon with friends. We were in Juhu and hunger pangs made me pick this place which I had crossed a multiple times before.
Its located on the same building as Tian, on the 4th floor. Elevator opens to the restaurant which has a colorful ambience. Efficient utilization of space – so much that u can't "step" out to take a call – u will have to take d elevator down to go to the lobby.
It was "happy hours" and my friend ordered a red wine. The drink was served 1+1 but wasn't worth it at all – the tiny pieces of apple seemed cut since long and had become soggy, the wine tasted v bad. I would have preferred not to avail d offer and get one decent wine. We also ordered lemon iced tea which I refused to believe it was so as it appeared totally different – yellowish in color. The taste was strictly OK.
We then ordered food and started with chilly cheese toast and fish fingers. Fish fingers, run of d mill, was great to taste! Then came the sizzler – paneer sizzler in barbeque sauce. BBQ sauce sizzler wasn't on the menu card but they made it on our cost! We also has chicken sandman – grilled chicken served with spinach and mushrooms. The food tasted great but nothing to attract me the next time.
Overall a decent experience but disappointed on the food and drinks front. Next wanna check out their Andheri outlet.

The darkness. Paralysis. Broken. The White Picket Fence and the Wrecking Ball have met.
There truly are no words that will describe the first day of my nervous breakdown. I wouldn't wish those days upon my worst enemy. I would give my last dollar to never have to live through it again. I thought I knew depression. I thought I knew suicidal. I thought I knew vulnerable. I thought I knew sadness. I thought I knew disconnected. I thought I knew broken. Until August 3rd, I thought I knew damn near everything. I was so wrong. It came in like a wrecking ball.
Minutes, hours, days, weeks… they didn't seem to feel like they were so different anymore. I could stare at a wall for hours. Sometimes my mind would race and sometimes it was unable to produce even one thought. At times, I would have conversations with family and have no recollection of what had been said by either party. The phone that once ran my life was now the last thing I wanted to see.
I was afraid to leave my house. The lovely home we had just moved into in May was now my prison. The blinds stayed closed as if there were bars on the windows. I had an irrational fear of my neighbor. He was a retired mechanic and seemed like a really nice guy when we first met him. The kind that would shovel your driveway or change your oil. We would talk to him while we were gardening or working outside. After August 3rd, he had somehow become the warden of my prison. Somewhere inside, I knew how twisted this was but it was so real to me.
After weeks of not returning to myself, my family grew scared. I wasn't smiling. I barely spoke. I'd rarely leave my room and if I did, I'd make it to the living room. I started noticing that the few guests we'd have over (only immediate family and a close friend or two) began looking at me as if I was dying in a hospital. Tears in their eyes. Pity painted on their faces. Sometimes this really registered with me and I would experience fear that I wasn't going to come out of this.

Support services provider SimplyBiz Group has appointed former Financial Conduct Authority technical specialist Rory Percival to oversee compliance on its centralised investment proposition (CIP) offering.
Percival (pictured) will sit on the investment committee for the newly created Centra with responsibility for external governance as well as compliance.
The service will offer CIPs to SimplyBiz members. It is designed alongside Defaqto Engage.
Centra's committee will be chaired by SimplyBiz Investment Services managing director Dan Russell. Other members include Defaqto's head of insight and consulting, Pan Andreas, and SimplyBiz compliance director Gary Kershaw.
Centra, powered by Defaqto Engage, is available at no additional cost to firms already working with SimplyBiz. It offers financial planning, integrated product research and suitability reports within a single system. Ken Rayner of research firm Rayner Spencer Mills will offer review and monitoring services.
Percival said: 'Making suitable investment recommendations and having a robust advice process that justifies those recommendations remains one of the biggest challenges faced by advisers.
'Centra provides a good framework to assist advisers in tackling these challenges in an efficient way.'
The committee will be responsible for designing the strategic asset allocation within the service, along with monitoring and reviewing investment solutions within the CIP.
Committee chairman Dan Russell said: 'Centra has been very well received by advisers, with over 700 firms signing up for the service in the three weeks since we announced the impending launch.
'The calibre of the professionals who will be working on behalf of those firms on this Investment Committee is second to none and I am confident that the Centra proposition will become a core part of our members' toolkit.'
SimplyBiz is reportedly eyeing another initial public offering (IPO) worth £150 million, Reuters reported last week.

Brad Weiser Takes ALS Ice Bucket Challenge [Video]
So my good friend Shelby Leforgee asked me to take the Ice Bucket Challenge for ALS. Since I didn't want to disappoint a good friend and the awareness and money that's being generated is phenomenal, who am I to say no?
On a slightly more selfish side, it's also a chance for me to call out my morning show co-host to do the same. Do you hear me, Jackie? You're next.

It's official! After 16 years in telecom and 4+ years doing stationery "on the side", I am now officially... uhm.... a stay at home mom? Unemployed? Self-employed? Not sure of my title yet, but I LOVE my new "position"!
I now have more time to devote to my roles as Domestic Goddess, "Mommy" and "The Card Lady". (Yes, it seems every where I go, I am introduced as "This is Lisha - you know, the card lady!".)
My wonderful web designer, friend and neighbor, Tara, is in the process of creating a new website for Sealed With a Kiss. Until then, I have created this blog to post updates, new designs and new products. In addition to the products I currently sell (note cards, invitations, birth announcements, labels, gift tags and note pads), I will be adding sippy cut labels, babysitter pads and "design your own" cards, where you can send me your child's artwork or original drawing, and I will make them into cards for you!
Just to get us started, here are some of my favorite new designs that can be used on any of my products...
So much more to come - I am very excited for this "new chapter in my life" and hope you will check back often for design and product updates!
Hugs & KISSES!

So as much as my wonderful hubby hated the price tag of our first Disney cruise, it didn't stop him from wanting to go on a second cruise. Disney announced cruises leaving from Texas, and later a kids sail free promotion and BAM! We were booked. :)
I decided to make a simple countdown for my kids to enjoy. I vinyled "Days 'till we set sail" in a Disney font on blue cruise paper. I placed it in an acrylic frame. On my next trip to Home Depot I collected several paint swatches in a bright rainbow of colors, and added Mickey heads with number cutouts.
Let the countdown begin!! :)
Thank you so much for stopping by Toadilly Homemade! I love to create and I hope you find something that inspires you.

Ask, and Ye Shall Receive!
An interesting thing happened to me this weekend. Before I explain, a while back I wrote about the process an addict goes through, which is: a thought, which leads to an urge, which leads to a craving, which leads to an obsession, which results in a compulsion. As I mentioned when I wrote this, when in active addiction, this process is so quick, it is like a flipping the pages of a paperback from front to back.
As I also mentioned more recently, troubling memories have been resurfacing, and it is uncomfortable to experience. Fortunately, they are not thoughts to pick up a drink or drug. Unfortunately, it is memories of times in the past when I have.
For whatever reason, this past Saturday was one of those days where the memories were coming fast and furious. That night, we went to the 5:00 mass, and still I was plagued with disturbing thoughts. Since I was at church anyway, what better time to ask, in more elaborate detail, to have Him direct my thoughts in a more productive way?
The first answer I received was a reminder of the process I described above. With that reminder, I was able to reflect just how far I've come. By the grace of God, I have had the compulsion, obsession, the craving, and the urge to pick up a drink or drug lifted from me. That, in and of itself, is a miracle, one for which I should be grateful for every minute of every day. And even these thoughts that have been plaguing me are of a much lesser evil. The worst thought that occurs is just a bad memory, it is never a thought to use any mind-altering substance in the present. Another gift.
So finally, right before communion, there is a short space where I mentally recite the act of contrition. As I am doing this, the thought comes to me to ask for forgiveness, because at the heart of it I believe that I am somehow causing all these painful memories to resurface, that I am in some way at fault. The mass ends, we go home, eat dinner, and have a low-key Saturday night. While watching TV that evening, I am also catching up on email, and there is one from my husband (who happens to be sitting about 2 feet from me). It is an article he found online that he thought I would enjoy (mind you, I have not shared any of the thoughts from the day with him). I inluded the article (hopefully) in this post.
Is it odd, or is it God?
Today's Miracle:
Monday mornings bring the meeting I started. First miracle: 12 attendees. Second miracle… a woman came to the meeting (I have met her, but have no personal relationship), and told me that she came because she has been hearing such good things about the woman who runs Monday's literature meeting. I had to stop and back up mentally… wait, the woman she is talking about is ME!

The event was much busier than I expected it would be, and as the event was starting a nervousness started to build in the pit of my stomach. That nervousness ratcheted up notch by notch with each of the first few readers that left the podium as my own reading came closer. The fifth reader stepped up to the podium and read a very short piece that I don't believe I caught a word of and finally it was time for me to go to the podium. I looked to the professor doing the introductions, waiting to hear my name called, and what escaped her lips sounded nothing like my name. In fact, it sounded like it was a girl's name. I'm pretty sure it was because a girl walked up to the stage and started to read. I didn't think too much of it, I figured that I had been moved so that the professor could keep the variation of readers she had wanted. Still, someone else was called after that girl, and then someone else, and then someone else, and by the time slot ten rolled around it seemed pretty sure I had been skipped over. I thought perhaps I'd be called up at the very end, thinking the professor had surely realized her mistake, but the last reader left the podium, thanks were given, and the night was over. Thus were the events of my first public reading, or rather, the events of the night of what was to be my first public.
It seems nothing short of appropriate, in all honesty. A collegiate publication is actually worth some metal if it doesn't publish student work, but since SCAD's literary magazine is exclusively student work it's hardly notable. With only a few hundred copies printed, I believe 200, and somewhere along the lines of 35 writers in the collection- most assuredly snatching more than one volume- it doesn't leave a heck of a lot of room for circulation even around the SCAD campus. In reality, getting published in Artemis is only good for getting some respect for yourself as a writer, and for being able to throw a minor trifle on the resume.
The entire time I was at the Artemis reading, I couldn't shake the feeling that it was just one big self-indulgent, self-congratulating affair. A significant portion of those in attendance were either included in the volume, edited it, or were there to support their friends. I'm sure the number of non-involved persons with a genuine interest was minimal. Still, there is something special in being recognized. Twice that day I was approached by people I know with congratulations, and though being included in the volume wasn't much more than proof that I have some merit as a writer to me, it was still rewarding to hear other writers acknowledge the inclusion.
Success is something that doesn't come to those in the arts everyday. It's rare unfortunately, but at least that makes it that much more rewarding. Artemis may not be important in the scheme of things, it's a small thing that come ultimate career success or failure will always mean very little but like I've been saying: You take success where you find it and drink it up as much as you can.

What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Tio Papi is a family comedy about a bachelor uncle who ends up becoming the guardian of his six young nieces and nephews after their parents' tragic death in a car accident (there are crash noises, but no scenes of the actual incident/immediate aftermath). Families with children sensitive to parental death, foster care, or adoption themes should know that those issues form the basis of the plot. There are a couple of mild insults like "stupid" and "dumb," a little teenage flirting, and a scary scene in which a young boy wanders off into the streets of New York alone (he's found safe), but otherwise there's nothing objectionable in the story, which is ultimately about the power of family and community.

There's a lot of talk about prayer these days. A lot of folk seem to be confusing prayer with meditation, even mystical meditation. See for example : http://www.beliefnet.com/blogs/godspolitics/2007/02/jim-wallis-revolutionary-prayer.html where the author says:
But, at least for me, prayer is more often becoming a time of listening than talking. There is so much noise in our world and our lives (much of our own making); prayer becomes a quiet space enabling us to stop talking long enough to see what God might be trying to say to us. The disciplines of prayer, silence, and contemplation practices by the monastics and mystics are precisely that – stopping the noise, slowing down, and becoming still, so that God can break through all our activity and noise in order to speak to us. Prayer serves to put all the parts of our lives in God's presence, reminding us of how holy our humanity really is. [?!!?]
Others say that prayer should be specific, concrete, detailed, out loud, and with confidence. (As if God needs to be told how to carry out His business, never mind that His thoughts are not our thoughts, His ways not our ways.) Others say it is most effective when done by groups of people gathered in the same place at the same time in synergy. (As if God is a politician and pays more attention to bigger numbers of lobbyists.)
But what does the Bible say? In order to start to answer that question I did a search of the New Testament on words prays, prayer, pray, praying. (This could be expanded by also looking at words like ask, request, etc). You can do it yourself using a good concordance, or a computer Bible. I kind of organized the results according to the following topics:
When and where did people pray?
What did people pray for?
How are we to pray?
Are there postures?
What are the results of prayer?
My preliminary results (I won't include my list or analysis because you really ought to try this yourself!) are as follows:
When and where did people pray? There are no specific commands as to time of day, location, what direction to face, or what constitutes a quorum. People prayed in prison, in the temple, in their houses, by themselves, in groups, on the rooftops, in an inner room, in the wilderness, on mountains, on the beach, and apparently just anywhere. They were told to pray when they are sick or suffering, to sing when cheerful. Pray all the time, at midnight, night and day.
What did people pray for? Surprisingly, not as many specific concrete things as you might think. Sinners prayed for mercy and forgiveness. Jesus prayed that the cup [of His imminent suffering] might pass – yet surely He knew it wouldn't? He more than once told His followers to pray that they would not fall into temptation, that they would have strength to escape all the [bad] things that are about to take place. People prayed for those imprisoned for their faith. They prayed for the salvation of others. Speakers in tongues should pray that they can interpret. Paul prayed glorious prayers for people's spiritual growth: that they do no wrong, be made complete, be given wisdom and understanding, knowledge of God's will, strength, that their love might abound, that they would be sincere and blameless and thankful, that they would walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, that the name of the Lord would be glorified in them and they in Him. For himself Paul often asked that a door would be opened up for the word to spread, that he would be bold in speaking it. He asked prayer for protection from evil men, and that he would be released from prison, and that he could visit again for the purpose of ministering to them. We are also told to pray for rulers and authorities so that we can lead a tranquil and quiet life. We are told to pray for each other, for spiritual leaders, evangelists, and for those who mistreat us. (Anybody else out there starting to feel like your prayer life has been missing the mark???)
How are we to pray? Jesus of course gave us a model: praise, request for daily food, forgivenss for sins, help in forgiving others, that we not be tempted but rather be delivered from evil. We should devote ourselves to prayer, pray in the Spirit (after all, He intercedes for us), but also pray with our minds. We are to be on the alert (not zoned out), persevering (not losing heart, nor a once for all time prayer). Prayer is also described as supplication, petitions, requests, thanksgivings, entreaties. (Doesn't sound much like quiet meditation, does it?) Jesus is said to have offered up prayer with loud crying and tears, the Holy Spirit also groans, so prayer doesn't have to be silent. We are to pray in faith, to pray without ceasing. We are to pray earnestly, one guy, Epaphras, was said to labor in prayer. We are to pray without wrath and dissention – and not treating your wife right can mean that your prayers won't be answered! We must also forgive others when we pray – or we won't be forgiven.
Are there postures? Doesn't seem to be. Some people stood, some knelt, some threw themselves on the ground. No mention of prayer rugs. Some lifted holy hands. No particular posture required, nor are any forbidden.
Procedures? Do not use meaningless repetition. (If it bores us, how much more must it bore God?) Other procedures are mentioned such as wearing headcoverings for women and NOT wearing head coverings for men was discussed in 1 Cor (though it's not clear if this was for public worship or for everywhere, for leaders of public worship or everybody, whether hair is enough, etc.) Anointing the sick with oil in James. Praying for others sometimes involved putting hands on them. Other than that, nada, zip.
Attitudes? First and formost believe. Have faith. Not doubting. Yet also with humility, "not my will but Yours". Do not lose heart. Prayer with thanksgiving is mentioned often. Rejoice. Be of sober spirit and sound judgement, alert. Be anxious for nothing. Avoid long prayers for appearance sake. In fact, in one place we are advised to go into our inner rooms and pray to our heavenly Father in secret.
What are the results of prayer? Results in peace that passes all comprehension. Sinners are justified. People regained sight, were restored from their sicknesses, released from prison, delivered from peril, food is sanctified, it rained, it stopped raining, helps other people, prayers ascend as a memorial to God, and are incense on the altar in heaven whose fragrance goes up before God. God hears the prayer of the righteous.
So, I am encouraged to pray more. I don't need to do washings and change clothes and face east at certain times of the day. I don't need to wait until I find a group or a prayer partner. I don't need to wait until I am in a church or on a mountain. Even if I am somewhere where I can't stand or can't kneel, I can still pray. Even if I don't know the details of what someone is going through at the moment, I can pray that "they would be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in their hearts through faith; and that they, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that they may be filled up to all the fullness of God." Wow! Wouldn't you like people to pray that for you?

…There was always an old deserted house to investigate. I remember back in the sixties there was one particular large cottage we used to walk past regularly when heading off to the woods. It was occupied by two old women. It had a high wall, big garden and large wooden gate and it was impossible to see into the grounds unless you could peer through cracks in the gate. Eventually the motorway came through and sliced through the row of cottages, cutting off one half from the other. Eventually the cottage became abandoned. We never knew what happened to the occupiers. Then after a while the gates became rotten and broke. We could see into the garden and the cottage was very run down. The roof had holes in and the windows and doors were broken and the garden was overgrown. After a while we decided to investigate ourselves. It was an eerie place for youngsters to be…

I am on a new and improved quest to lose weight. I failed miserably today. Yesterday I did pretty good. I must exercise though. I wish I could rent someone to exercise for me. I wish I had the metabolism of a cheetah. But alas, I do not.
So, here is my plan, again. I need to walk every day. I begin that tomorrow. One to two miles. Half size meal portions. Lots of water. No more sodas or sweet tea except as a treat. Lower salt. Lower red meat intake. Good bye for now Krispy Kreme. Good bye for now pizza. Good bye for now most bread. Hello rabbit food.
Who's with me? I need to lose about a third grader.

When Princess Eugenie stepped onto the Buckingham Palace lawn for a garden party on May 25 in a lovely gold straw hat with inverted crin brim, I was filled with an unmistakable sense of déjà vu. A quick trip to the photo archives confirmed this Nerida Fraiman designed percher hat was not the first of its kind:

Princess Eugenie at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) Centenary Garden Party, May 25, 2017
When a royal purchases the same hat in different colours, I often find myself completely perplexed by the action- in a world of so many wonderful millinery shapes, why go for something you already have? In this instance, however, I understand the double purchase. The scale is beautiful on Eugenie and the inverted brim is a wonderfully unique design feature that gives exquisite lightness to the hat. The simple knot on the side of the crin brim adds that little bit of something that not only adds interest to the overall shape but works so much better with the sleek lines of the piece than any flower, pouf, feather or bow could. The two colour combinations- both neutral but surprisingly different from each other- and the reversal of the side knot (on the Eugenie's right in the black and white version and on her left in the gold one) give distinct personality to the two pieces. While the two hats are the same, they are different enough to each fill a vital role in the millinery closet of a young princess.
Princess Eugenie is one of the heads I'll be looking out for at Ascot- she flies under the radar much of the time but I find her hat choices to be interesting, creative and modernly elegant, words I could easily apply to these two designs. What do you think of this pair of royal millinery twins?

Problems updating ipod touch to 4 1
i Phone users are also complaining about the "30% battery bug." Those experiencing the issue say their battery suddenly dies when their device reaches the 30% battery mark.
Updating your device wirelessly Before you start the download, plug in your device so the battery doesn't drain during the update process.
The i OS 10.2.1 beta helped Apple squash a number of issues ahead of the official release. While the i OS 10.2.1 update fixes some lingering i OS 10 issues, its brought its own set of problems to i Phone, i Pad and i Pod touch users.
Today we want to take a look at the most important things i Phone, i Pad and i Pod touch owners need to know about i OS 10.2.1 problems as we push toward the next i OS 10 release, a release that could be just a few short days away.
Just make sure to create a list or take a screenshot of all your jailbroken apps and Cydia downloads so you can go back and get them once a i OS 8 jailbreak method is released.
Also, OTA updates are usually not available for jailbroken phones, so you'll have to update via i Tunes.

From the code review I learned how difficult it can be working with a third party application. Say you have set up an application with a design that fits it nicely, and a flow that suites all of your needs. Then, suddenly your customer wants you to use an unanticipated third party program or web service in your application. Even if you have a nicely organized, highly decoupled and flexible program, implementing a third party into the mix can be quite a challenge.
The first challenge would of course be understanding how this third party program works. This might be reasonable, but your employer wants you to start implementing it NOW. So you start writing code, rather guessing how it works, and within less time than you might think, you get a bit of a mess. The more you incorporate the third party app, the more you learn about it, and the more you realize that you were wrong when you started working with it. Yet, you can't just go back and try again because your customer is expecting functionality and isn't all that pleased when you tell him/her that you have to take it away.
Another issue is that you might be fitting a square block into a round hole. You have this pretty design that you are extremely pleased with, and suddenly you have to find a way to jam some ugliness into it. Not saying all third party apps are ugly, but it seems like thats how they always appear when you first realize you have to fit it in with your design. Of course, you can't suddenly redesign your entire program just to work with this third party app, because your customer would freak. Instead you have to use some hodge-podge means to link everything together. If your not super careful, which is extremely difficult but always easy in hindsight, you will wind up with a mess.
The way Micah and I did the estimating was pretty interesting, and made a lot of sense. He set up a table with the features - an optimistic - a realistic - and a pessimistic estimate of how long the each feature would take. Then he calculated the standard deviation for each feature, and for the project as a whole. This gave us a pretty big range for how long this project might take, which I believe is necessary since it is virtually impossible to accurately estimate a fair sized project before you even get started.
From the talk and after:
* Mix-in: A way to add functionality to a class or instance by making a new class or module which isn't meant to be instantiated. In Ruby, you can do this by creating a module with some concrete methods, and then extend from this module in some other class.
* Comet: This is a HTTP means to maintain a long held link between a server and a browser. Typically HTTP sends a request, waits for a response, then sends data. This is a very tedious process, and doesn't fit all models. Using Comet allows the server to keep an open connection and send data without receiving any reply. Systems similar to Google Wave, with live updates, would use something like comet.
* Actors: An actor is actually a mathematical model for performing parallel or concurrent computation. When using the model, everything is an actor. Actors don't run sequentially or in a particular order, but run simultaneously. Actors can send messages to one another, create new actors, and perform some specific actions. Since everything is an actor, there is no supreme controller, thus actors can only talk to actors they know about. One of the biggest advantages to the Actor Model is that it separates the sender from sent communications.
- Supervised Actors: This is an Actor Model, but with a supervisor for each actor that can monitor its activity. The main purpose I gathered from the supervisor, is that if the actor is destroyed for whatever reason, the supervisor can see this and restart the actor.
* Cake Pattern: The Cake Pattern is a way to implement Dependency Injection, largely in Scala.

I belong to a Facebook group for Primary Presidency and Sharing time ideas. Someone on the page had shared that they were giving plush BEARS to their kids in Primary. I went to look up inexpensive Bears and discovered these cute little snakes at Dollar Tree. I think we could get away with calling them Bookworms.
I tweaked the poem that someone else had shared for their BEAR and this is what I came up with.

Sullivan's Travels
By Elise Nakhnikian
For better and for worse, Sullivan's Travels (1941) is rooted in its time. It captures the flavor of life in the Great Depression -- without being the least bit depressing itself. It also includes some scenes with African-Americans that make me cringe. But in spite its flaws, I love it for its sly humor, its wisdom about human nature, and its running commentary on what makes us love the movies.
Sullivan's Travels was one of the first movies directed by Preston Sturges, who was the first Hollywood screenwriter to direct his own scripts. The early 40s were this golden boy's golden age: In just two years, he cranked out three classic American comedies, this one, The Lady Eve, and The Palm Beach Story.
Talking pictures were still relatively new when Sturges arrived on the scene. He decided great dialogue was the key to making them work, and boy, could he write dialogue. When director John Sullivan (Joel McCrea) argues with his studio bosses at the beginning of Sullivan's Travels, their exchange makes you laugh – not because it's jokey but because of what it reveals about their characters, starting with Sullivan's limousine-liberal determination to tell "real" stories about poor people.
The studio turns him down, saying he doesn't know enough about the subject. So Sullivan decides to hit the road as a tramp – suited up in a costume from the wardrobe department — to gain some "real life" experience. That leads to a series of often comic misadventures and a lesson in the value of entertainment.
Sturges definitely keeps us entertained, starting with the sweetly acerbic romance between Sullivan and a cool Veronica Lake, as The Girl ("How does the girl fit into the picture?" a cop asks Sullivan after the two are arrested. "There's always a girl in the picture," Sullivan responds. "What's the matter, don't you go to the movies?")
There's also plenty of physical humor, wonderful faces to look at, and vivid minor characters to savor, most of them played by great character actors (and Sturges staples) like Eric Blore and William Demarest.
And there's all that invigorating talk. It's glorious stuff, that talk, and it's democratically doled out. The central message of the movie is delivered by one of Sullivan's butlers, in a gem of a speech that starts with: "The poor know all about poverty, and only the morbid rich would find the topic glamorous." The dialogue never sounds forced or overwritten, either – except when it's supposed to, as in Sullivan's preachy speeches about "this cockeyed caravan."
But Sturges is after more than mere entertainment, despite his movie's ostensible message. By wrapping his comedy around a reminder of the travails of those "forgotten men," he tells a story that's more complicated, and ultimately deeper, than any Sullivan ever dreamed of.
Every so often, Sturges shifts gears too suddenly or revs his engine too hard. A stint Sullivan serves on a chain gang and a paternalistic bit in an African-American church might have been lifted from one of Sullivan's message movies, and I find a bit of slapstick whose punch line is a black man in whiteface uncomfortable to watch.
But those moments stand out because the rest of the movie unspools so effortlessly. Often shooting on location, Sturges works the struggles of poor people into the background of his picaresque story, making his point best when he says the least about it. One long, wordless sequence in which Sullivan and The Girl walk through a shantytown is a stunner.
Like a favorite uncle, Sturges is onto your foibles and can laugh them all off. Sullivan's Travels tells us a lot about a particular place and time, but it also has plenty to say about life here and now.
Sturges' barbs about Sullivan's pompous aspirations still feel pointed, since the same earnest paternalism infects Hollywood today. And his affectionately ironic take on human nature and American hokum fit right in too – as do the bits of self-reflexive business he works into this movie about making movies.

The Connecticut Supreme Court will hear oral arguments today in an appeal on a 12-year-old lawsuit about how education is funded in the state.
A non-profit organization, the Connecticut Coalition For Justice In Education Funding, filed a lawsuit in 2005 that argues wealthy towns get more money for education at the expense of the poorer districts.
A Superior Court judge sided last September with the coalition and said he wants a rational funding plan, high school graduation standards, a definition of elementary education, teacher evaluation standards, teacher pay standards and reforms to special education.
The attorney general, however, appealed the decision and the state Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case.

If Germany's Dresden Zoo is your one-stop baby orangutan shop, we suppose that makes the Berlin Zoo rhino-calf central. Berlin welcomed an Indian rhinoceros calf last month, and on Feb. 7, it celebrated another new addition: a black rhinoceros calf.
The calf, which still hasn't been named, seems disinclined to leave the side of its mother, Maburi, just yet.
In 1970, about 65,000 black rhinos lived in the wild in Africa. But by the early 1990s, well over 90% of them were gone, primarily due to poaching. In recent years, the effort to renew the species has made some impressive strides; the population nearly doubled in slightly more than a decade!
More photos of the calf after the jump!

Biography Balugyansky Mikhail
Born in Hungary in Tsemplinskom Committee in 1769. He graduated from the course at the Faculty of the University of Vienna. He was a professor of the newly established grand vardeynskoy Academy, where he taught science and economic and political; later was a professor at the University of Pest. In 1803 B. was invited to teach at Petersburg, where he committed while transform teachers 'seminary, first in the teachers' school, then in the Pedagogical Institute. To fill the shortage of professors decided to write for young scientists from the Slavic countries of Austria. Mediator in the negotiations was Gough surgeon Eagle, he came from the Austrian Slavs. Among those invited was and B. In addition to professors, he was assigned to the second expedition to the commission to formulate laws for the post of editor, part of the state economy and finance. From 1809 to 1812 was Chief of Branch IV of the Commission; worked for the Ministry of Finance. From 1813 to 1817 he taught economics and political science, Grand Duke Nikolai and
Pavlovich. A commission to formulate laws passed in B. variety of change projects. He had to participate in the drafting of a set of public law, laws, rural, reorganization of ministries and in the development of individual issues of economic and financial legislation (the monetary system of land tax, etc.). He studied, . for the attention of the State Council, . history of financial administration, . starting from the time of Peter the Great until 1812, participated in the works for the release Lifliandskii peasants from serfdom, . drew up, . on behalf of the Minister of Finance, . new financial plan, . driven by the need to cover the costs of war,
. This plan was presented to the Emperor in 1814, through the Minister of Finance Count Gur'eva was presented to the Emperor and extensive note B. on the release of the peasants from serfdom. Subsequently, the formation in 1837 (on what work was involved, and BI) of the Ministry of State Property, of the note has been borrowed many ideas and guidance. Soon after the opening of the St. Petersburg University (1819) B. was elected Dean of Philosophy and Faculty of Law, where he read the encyclopedia of legal and political sciences and political economy. October 27 that same year he was elected and approved by the university rector. When the initiative of district trustee Runich and with the assistance of director of the University Kavelina began a persecution of professors (Kunitsyn, Arseniev, Galic, Raupaha), accused of spreading ideas contrary to Christianity, and revolutionary, B. very strongly and passionately defended his comrades and, convinced that his protests against the practiced methods of investigation are not successful, relinquished his title of Rector (31 October 1821). Being a professor (until April 12, 1824), B. continued to struggle with Runich. Meanwhile B. was again determined (April 21, 1822) to the commission to formulate laws of its board members, and he was charged superintendence clerical council. Here he met again with Speransky, who on his return from exile, was charged with supervision over the work of the Commission. Following the accession of Emperor Nicholas I called B. to him, gave him his intention to put in order the legislation and consulted with him about the way the execution of this intention. January 31, 1826 established Part II C. E. I. V. Office, which was entrusted with the codification of laws, and on April 4 B. was appointed head of the institution. The main leadership of the work was entrusted Speransky. Thus, B. became a close associate Speranskii when drafting the Code of Laws; good personal relations between them have contributed to the success of the case. Main role played Speranski: B. alone did not appear and was only executor or advisor on specific issues. In 1828 B. was entrusted with the training sessions for those students Theological Academy, who were elected to prepare for the teaching of legal sciences in higher education. This instruction B. paid great attention to and directly supervised the work of students, two years later seconded for further studies abroad. In 1839 B. was appointed Senator. In Chief compartment II B. and remained under the successors of Speransky (the chief superintendent II Branch) DV. Dashkova and D.N. Bludova, until his death, April 3, 1847. Scientific papers and notes B. has not yet been printed and stored in the affairs of the Division II (Archives of the State Council). The biggest is his work on the history of different economic systems. B. had a diverse and broad knowledge in the field of economics and political science, ability to work methodically and manage the work of other. As a lecturer, according to the words of his pupil, the Emperor Nicholas I, he was not distinguished by the gift of speech. Russian language he mastered bad, many foreign could easily write, but not easily explained. Contemporaries unanimously speak of him as a very humble, gentle, direct and noble. - See. P. Baranov, M. A. BA (St. Petersburg, 1882). Bar. A. Nolde.

Ivan the TerribleBook - 2001
Ivan IV, the first Grand Duke of Moscow to take the title Czar, was one of the most violent and demented rulers in history. Both sadist and mystic, he claimed to be both the blood successor to Caesar Augustus and God¿s vicar on earth. Devoted associates and sworn enemies alike perished amid hideous tortures. Villages, towns and an entire city were obliterated; he even murdered his own son in a burst of fury.
And yet, by conquering much of the territory that became 20th century Russia, he also forged an orderly empire out of the barbarous and disordered world into which he was born.
Henri Troyat, the Prix Goncourt ¿winning biographer of Catherine the Great, Tolstoy, Turgenev and other giants of Russian history brings to life Russia¿s bloodiest czar creating the unforgettable portrait of a man driven mad with the delirium of his divine right to power.

My grandfather had big fruit orchard in the village named Guptipara in hooghli district. This is located in eastern region of India. We had great time during our summer vacations playing in this orchard and enjoyed having fresh fruits plucked from the trees. There were 3 big Pomelo trees. We call it Batabi Lebu in Bengali. We used to prepare sweet & sour Chaat with the bright pink flesh of this fruit. We always knew that this belongs to orange family as it resembles in shape and the pods inside. But in English it is also called grapefruit . Wikipedia must be having the answer.
After so many years while travelling to Nandi Hills in Bangalore, I came across this fruit orchard and the vendors selling this fruit on both sides of the highway. I was do delighted to see it and jumped out of joy. This fruit is not available in Delhi. Sometimes we find it in local markets during Lakshmi Puja but that too of not very good quality. Stopped near a vendor and immediately bought 2 medium sized fruit. We had a flight o Delhi on that very day. My husband was worried how to carry it in plane. But I knew what to do and carried it to Delhi safely.
Now I wanted to do something different with this fruit. So thought of using it as garnish as well as combining its sweet & sour taste with Mushrooms & cheese. My experiment was a super hit. The combination of Cheesee mushrooms with Lemon mustard vinaigrette sauce and sweet & sour pomelo flesh was luscious. It Flew away from plate in seconds. Sharing the delightful recipe.
Stuffed Mushroom on bed of Pomelo.
- Mushroom with stems- 6-7
- Finely Chopped onion- 2 tblspn
- Finely chopped garlic- 1 tblspn
- Batabi lebu/Pomelo Flesh- 1 cup
- Black & white pepper mix- 2 tbspn divided in 3 portions/
- Lemon mustard vinaigrette– 1 tspn(optional) or alternatively use mustard paste/crushed mustard seeds.
- Grated Mozzarella Cheese – 3 tblspn
- Black Olives- 4 sliced
- Fresh Cilantro for garnishing
- Olive oil – 1 tbspn
- Salt to taste
Thoroughly wash the Mushrooms in running water. Remove the stems..
Finely chop the stems. Keep aside.
Crush the peppers. Mix 1 tspn pepper with salt & 1 tspn of olive oil.
Coat the mushroom heads with the pepper mix. Keep aside.
Heat 1 tspn of olive oil in a pan. Add garlic. Sate for 1 min. Add chopped onion. Fry till lightly browned.
Add chopped mushroom stems. Cook it for 3 mins or till the moisture released by the mushrooms dries.
Add mustard vinaigrette, little salt and 1 tspn pepper. Sautee for ½ min and transfer it to a bowl. Filling is ready to be stuffed in heads of mushrooms.
Spoon the fillings in the centre of mushrooms .Mushroom does not have much hollow space for the filling so press it little.
Now spoon the grated cheese generously over the filling.
Brush the silver foil with oil. Arrange the mushrooms over the foil.
Set the foil in Air fryer basket. Spoon the balance oil over the mushrooms.
Bake it in pre heated air fryer in 180oC for 10 mins.
When the mushrooms are baking prepare the sauce. Mix 1 tblspn of meyo with mustard paste or mustard vinaigrette.
Mushrooms are ready to serve.
Spread the pomelo flesh on serving plate. Sprinkle with black salt and pepper.
Spoon the sauce where you want to place the mushrooms.
Place the mushrooms over the sauce.
Top it with sliced olive and sprig of cilantro or coriander leaves.
Stuffed mushroom is ready to dig in.

This blog was written by Weep No More, writer at Faithbook NZ
I understand that image is important but is it everything? It seems to be these days and it worries me. When I look around at my friends and family the effort to look right is huge, so huge in fact that they begin to look like someone that they are not.
When I got married and had children the desire I once felt to be super skinny, wear make up everyday, accentuate my 'womanly features' etc left my thoughts almost entirely. My mum actually said to me one day that I should stop wearing track pants and maybe brush my hair. But I felt such a happiness that I didn't care what I looked like. I had Jesus, my husband and my baby, what more could I want?
This is the struggle I'm witnessing. Teenagers, particularly girls, try to be someone they're not in order to attract the opposite sex and with such advanced social networking today, it's easy to create a 'new you' in minutes. Girls post pictures of themselves in their underwear, share statuses informing everyone of how drunk they were last night and write comments using offensive and insulting language. These girls weren't born like this, the person they have become was created by themselves. But it's not their fault. Sex has been slandered and is no longer the sacred, life-giving gift that is was meant to be. It is now used to use others.
So when these girls go out of their way, out of their comfort zones, to attract boys. They succeed. But they don't attract the boy that every parent wants for their daughter, they attract the kind of boy that is looking for that kind of girl. The trouble being that she isn't actually 'that' kind of girl. She's just a normal girl who has fallen into Satan's trap of 'this is love'. So this girl gets used and you might think that that's the end but it is just the beginning. The emptiness that is left within her is piercing and so begins the downward spiral of her search for real love to fill that gap. Which she can't find because she's looking in the wrong place and her usual mask of make up and tight clothes aren't doing it for her anymore so she turns to different ways of changing her image like alcohol, drugs, even more make up and even shorter skirts and I think we can all see how damaging this can end up.
The teenage suicide rate in New Zealand in the last year has risen from 56 to 80!
Once you're in its hard to get out so don't let yourself be consumed by anything except Christ, He is your one true love.
God Bless

I run glfusion and gallery2 with g2bridge. Everything seems to be fine apart that when I activate the random image block for anonymous users they get this error message when they access my site:
I have not seen this error in years(4 or 5 at least)
Basically the imageblock is trying to display images the anon user is not allowed to see and redirecting them to login which is also trying to display the imageblock again redirecting to login........
You can hide the block for anon, or make sure non of your albums are for members only.
If you do make sure they don't show up in the imageblock by editing the album and selecting the imageblock flag.
This is what I did. I only want to show the content of one album in the image block. So I unticked all other albums and made sure that for this album "everybody" has the permission to view all versions.
Still, anon user gets this error and I have to disable the block for anon user in order to make the site viewable.
Thank you.
What version is your gallery?
Gallery version = 2.2.6 core 188.8.131.52
PHP version = 5.2.6 apache2handler
Webserver = Apache/2.2.10 (Linux/SUSE)
Database = mysqli 5.0.67, lock.system=flock
Toolkits = ImageMagick, LinkItemToolkit, Thumbnail, Ffmpeg
Acceleration = none, none
That's a little old, but I think the issue was fixed by then.
Regardless of which albums are checked/unchecked gallery checks permissions and will not present any media you don't have permission to view.
Can you check if there is an imageblock upgrade available in gallery admin -> plugins -> get more plugins.
Also a url would be helpful.
I installed the latest image block for gallery 2 (18.104.22.168). But I still have this problem. I also figured out that this problem also happens when I activate the block but not for anon users. In order to have the site working I need to disable the image block completely.
Let me know what access do you need then I will send it as a pm.
I have no idea why this is not working for you - I believe it to be some permissions maybe on the root album.
Gallery is responsible for handling permissions for the media it displays, not G2Bridge.
We could however use a different method to display random images.
Autotags in a block or mediaBlock which is included w/ your G2Bridge installation.
Or even a minislideshow (you can create a block in G2Bridge admin).
These however still honor the imageblock flag to hide selected albums from being displayed.

Aged and Community Care
Australians are now living longer than ever before. Around 13 per cent of the population in the Brisbane North PHN region (more than 124,000 people) is aged 65 years and over and this is expected to grow as a proportion over the coming decades.
The PHN's Aged and Community Care programs aim to ensure our region is prepared to meet the challenges arising from increased demand for health and aged care services among older Australians.
We have implemented two aged care consortia as part of our strategy to lead reform and engagement within the local community aged care sector. Read more about our aged care consortium model.
Geriatric Outreach Assessment Service
The Geriatric Outreach Assessment Service (GOAS) is a partnership between Brisbane North PHN and Metro North Hospital and Health Service (MNHHS) that commenced in June 2017.
Based at The Prince Charles Hospital (TPCH), the GOAS provides a specialised geriatric outreach service to acutely unwell residents from Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFs).
Read more about our Geriatric Outreach Assessment Service.
The Yellow Envelope
The Yellow Envelope is a clinical handover tool designed for use within the North Brisbane and Moreton Bay catchment to support the transfer of aged care residents to and from hospital.
Read more about our the Yellow Envelope.
Commonwealth Home Support Program
Healthy@Home is a consortium of 19 organisations committed to providing high quality community aged care services to older people in Brisbane's northern suburbs and the Moreton Bay area.
Brisbane North PHN leads this consortium, which receives funding from the Australian Government Department of Health under the Commonwealth Home Support Program.
The Healthy@Home consortium provides community-based care services to people aged 65 years and over (or aged 50 years and over for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people) to enhance their independence and avoid or delay entry into residential aged care.
Available services include domestic assistance, personal care, social support, , nursing, allied health, advocacy and transport. To access services, contact My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 or visit www.myagedcare.gov.au.
For more information about the Healthy@Home consortium, please view our YouTube video (above) or see our consortium profile.
The Australian Centre for Health Services Innovation (AusHSI) at the Queensland University of Technology evaluated the Healthy@Home consortium and found that it had achieved efficiency gains of close to 30 per cent. Download the AusHSI report (Nov 2015).
Aged care forums and sector development
Brisbane North PHN's Community Care team supports providers to identify priorities for continuous improvement and creates opportunities for them to work together to increase their capacity to respond to client needs.
Our annual and quarterly aged care forums are well attended by a diverse range of sector representatives and this helps them to support each other in meeting the challenges of an evolving and complex aged care environment. To learn more or to register, please see our aged care events.
The Aged Care Transition Collaborative is a key project which aims to enhance the patient journey between acute and community sector by improving communication and developing systems and processes to improve collaboration. Read more.
The Brisbane North Allied Health Collaborative involves allied health providers from private practice, community organisations and the Metro North Hospital and Health Service. It aims to develop a collaborative model that can be used to provide peer development support and improve communication and partnerships between acute, community and allied health providers. Read more.
For more information contact email@example.com.
Regional Assessment Service
The Australian Government has contracted a consortium of seven local community care providers, led by Brisbane North PHN, to operate a Regional Assessment Service (RAS). To find out more about Brisbane North PHN's RAS consortium, please view our information video:
The RAS provides personalised assessments in the Brisbane South, Brisbane North and Caboolture regions to assess eligibility for aged care services. To arrange an aged care assessment, please call the My Aged Care gateway 1800 200 422 or go to: www.myagedcare.gov.au.
If you would like further information about Brisbane North PHN's RAS consortium, please phone our Community Care team on 07 3630 7307 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
More information about the Australian Government's aged care reforms is available on the Department of Health's Ageing and Aged Care website.
New five year healthcare plan for older people
To support Brisbane North's growing community of people aged 65 and over, Brisbane North PHN in collaboration with Metro North Hospital and Health Service (MNHHS), has developed a new five year healthcare plan for older people.
This plan will guide the way healthcare services are delivered to this group of people in our community and represents a commitment between the PHN and MNHHS to improve the coordination, integration and provision of care services to support the health and wellbeing of older people to help them stay healthy and at home.

Ross: Look, look, there's got to be a way we can work past this. Okay, (takes a hold of one of her arms.) I can't imagine, I can't imagine my life without you. (Both of them are starting to cry.) Without, without these arms, and your face, and this heart. Your good heart Rach, (drops to his knees and hugs her around her waist) and, and….
Rachel: (crying) No. I can't, you're a totally different person to me now. I used to think of you as somebody that would never, ever hurt me, ever. God, and now I just can't stop picturing with her, I can't, (Ross stands up and backs away) it doesn't matter what you say, or what you do, Ross. It's just changed, everything. Forever.
Ross: (crying) Yeah, but this can't be it, I mean.
Rachel: Then how come it is?
This is an excerpt from this sequence in FRIENDS where Rachel breaks up with Ross, that remains indelibly etched in my mind. Off late I've become this big sucker for crushing works of art, that entail a violin cry over a gleeful guitar and so the tendency to tilt a little in that side.
Having said that, this sequence does hit you like a familiar zephyr if you've been through a break-up before. It makes you reminisce fondly of your own crumbling moment under the sun, when a part of you died or so did you think. I was recently acquainted to the sitcom which seems to feature eternally in the favourite list of most people I know, like a badge of honour since their teens.
"Do you hate happiness?", "Were you under a rock?" are some of the staple questions that were hurled at me in quick reflex to the knowledge of my never having watched FRIENDS.
And it was in this perceived indifference that I was seeking an ego validation, which made my defiance to this popular norm of getting acquainted to the show seem all the more like a cool thing to do.
An outlaw I saw myself as, who wasn't bitten by the bug to seek approval, but still had his own way of staying relevant in conversations, independent of a sitcom or the parlance attached.
And to be honest, most of the people around me who swore by FRIENDS were lame, with embarrassing sense of humor to be taken seriously.
It wasn't till a point recently, where a friend who had a great taste and an appreciable sense of humor made me a watch a random episode of the sitcom, that I stopped holding myself back from drenching in the magic of FRIENDS.
I cursed myself for postponing such a wonderful experience for a long time with dogged resistance, but realized later that it was the same reason that I got to watch it from a better place in life.
This entire series is about the lives and routines of young people from their mid-twenties to their early thirties; their mind-sets, tribulations, parlance, relationships and the underlining camaraderie that keeps them going from one phase of life to another.
I was watching it at as a 27 year old from a vantage point of "been there, seen that and done that", a perk of being a late bloomer. A luxury most of my peers wouldn't have had during their teens.
They probably would've attempted identifying with the narrative, even if vicariously and in most cases ended setting it up as a subconscious yardstick, courtesy their starry-eyed idolization.
Coming to think of it, this was not the only occasion I've been guilty of being a late bloomer. My life as it is has been characterized by my reluctance to adhere to a popular standard or tread by an ongoing habit. I've always seen my friends hog into a new trend from an isolated corner of self-contentment.
Call it resistance or attempt at staying unique, I've always found it hard to break from the inertia of simplicity to pander to the frequency of change that accompanies every new wave.
Take for instance, Eva-my sweetheart bike now. I had to be forced into it by my then girlfriend's endless nudging that became more painful a point after which the hardships of crowded bus rides faded in comparison.
I was a happy twenty something, who was barely affected by the fact that all my cycle-pedalling friends were now commuting in their respective "beasts" that ran on fossil fuel, with the pride reserved to the last man standing from a gladiatorial match.
To all of them it was either a cool thing to possess, an indispensable necessity or the ultimate thing that fructified the accruals of the mental image they had assigned for their twenties since school days. To me, it just didn't feature in my scheme of things like how learning Macedonian wouldn't.
Having said that, I've had such beautiful moments with her after she came into my life. She's one person alongside whom, I've learnt to appreciate the epiphanies that every episode in my life, bitter and sweet, held in it. Being a willful loner at times, I've basked in the rhythm of her ignition on many a long ride.
When I was going through a sustained low emotionally, I resorted to frequent road trips on her to get away. She wasn't a cruiser, but she would let me fly. I healed on the roads, through every terrain, sharp turn and express highway that we took; with the strong winds blowing on my face purposefully as if to baptize my soul to a peaceful state back.
By the time I had grown familiar to the feeling of Eva being my soulmate on road; my friends had tilted to a four wheeled toy for their commuting obsessions. I thought that at least this time around, I would organically outgrow the two wheeler phase with every passing ride on a friend's car like every other friend of mine. But it just ceased to get vestigial.
I was in such fine equilibrium with my bike, that my head felt impermeable to the myriad lures that cars held.
Probably like with the case of every other new habit that had crawled its way into the threshold of my acceptance unhurriedly, but firmly; maybe driving a car too would go on to constitute a passionate habit someday.
A habit I would keep in touch with to keep in touch with the self, than just a means to achieve a utility.
Over the years I've come to terms with the fact that it isn't too bad to not keep abreast with the rapidity of changes around to remain sane, as far as it happened with ears firmly put to the ground.
I'm a laidback individual who likes to ensconce in the familiarity of every experience with passage of time. Being content with going deeper down an experience, than be tempted to explore the versatility held in the expanse of its vista.
Or simply put, I'm a person who doesn't exactly feel upbeat about the concept of changes and breakthroughs. Someone who feels defiant when faced with a tide of herd instinct masquerading as an ongoing trend.
For me every experience with passage of time is either like wine that gets better with time or milk that turns into an altogether different commodity. Betterment or difference, both seem like exciting enough trade offs to stick on to for the long haul without meddling with them.

I love the Flash. He is arguably one of my all time favorite comic-book characters since I began reading them and to hear rumblings at one point the directing duo of Lord & Miller (The Lego Movie, 21 Jump Street) were likely to bring him to the live-action world (sorry Flash TV, but I just don't like you like that), I was more than happy, but then this news dropped.
To whomever suffered through the weirdly comical Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter movie awhile back, you know why I'm sad. DC/WB has been receiving every ounce of praise from me for their choice of talent to surround their projects with, but for some reason, they choose a first time director who will then be writing the film as well? Where's the logic in that?
Seth Grahame-Smith has strictly been a writer in his career in Hollywood and before that a best-selling author, but that doesn't mean his track record is worth getting excited about for a film such as this. It pains me to know that Lord and Miller are going off to do a Han Solo film over this because what they were able to bring to the table was what they've done with most of their films and that is give a clear direction and focus while maintaining incredible humor and often some cool action and set pieces.
Remember, this Flash will not be anything related to the CW television show and will star Ezra Miller from The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

One of the parts I love most about living in Bocas del Toro is drinking michila (mee-chee-la). Michila has quickly become my favorite beverage when pasearing and on rare chilly days. It is a warm drink consisting of ripe bananas and coconut milk.
First, prepare the coconut milk. After you harvest, de-shell and grate a coconut, pour your desired amount of water into the shavings. With your hands, squeeze the shavings in the water for several minutes until it turns milky white. Squeeze out any remaining water in the shavings and throw them to your chickens (or puppy dog). Strain the milk and toss again. Now you have coconut milk! Pour into a pot.
Next, mash several ripe bananas. Place them into the pot with coconut milk and begin heating on low. Continually stir for several minutes then remove from the heat. Drink with a johnny cake and you're a happy Bocatoreña :).
