The Orland Park Magic Sports Association would like to thank our sponsors for the 2007 Baseball and Basketball Season. We would also like to thank our Board, Managers and Coaches who have spent their time and energy teaching our children and making this organization the best in southwest suburbs. With the strong support of our sponsors, particularly for our younger age groups, has helped the Magic Organization expand opportunities for the Youth of Orland Park.

We continue to look at ways to provide a quality competitive sports program for the many new families who each year want to be part of the Magic family. The businesses and individuals recognized in our add book make these new opportunities possible.

Grats! Currently 3 guildies and I are knocking out cata Dungeon Cheeves Its been Really hard with pug healers who 1). won't log vent and 2) are poorly geared but we seem to get most so far I have only 7 to gain now and a new mount ^_^
That eclipse one i got with a guild team some time ago.
@Vyx - I have one to go and then I'll be free! Maybe I can help you if you need sometime :) just don't tell your guildies, pretend I'm a pug and maybe they'll think I'm the awesomest PuG healer ever!ReplyDelete
Grats on all those shiny new achievements!
And you DO have great friends, to let you beat them up mercilessly for the sake of an achievement :P
@Kamalia - I know right? Who other than a friend would let you kill them constantly?? <3 Frosties!Delete

Designing good covers for books is a distinct art form, I've discovered. I've been an artist in a previous life and thought I could do it myself but the simple fact is that I can't. When I look at the work produced by the professionals, they make my paltry efforts look totally pedestrian. I chose Robin Lustig http://www.gobookcoverdesign.com/ because I liked the visual impact of her work (she's a female robin not a cockrobin). Here's the process:
1. Email her and she'll come back with the Ts and Cs and ask you to give him a synopsis of your book and any ideas that you may have for a cover.
2. She then takes your ideas, throws them in the bin and comes up with her own. It's at this point that you realise that covers have to be designed by a professional. In my case she gave me a couple of choices and they look good. I selected one.
3. Robin sends you the links to the pictures that make up his mockup. They are at Dreamstime, http://www.dreamstime.com/. You have to pay for the images but they're not expensive. Mine cost about $40 for three. You download them in large format, royalty-free. The files are around 5MB.
4. Send them to her as email attachments or you can use Dropbox (http://db.tt/psAirBA).
5. She won't do any more work until you have paid a deposit of $80 and I did this by phone (or you can use PayPal). The cover may be done within this cost (he charges $80/hour) but any additional work is charged an the basis of 15 minute chunks. Normal cost is $80-120 per cover.
6. She then produces the covers and this takes around 5-7 working days. I'll post them when they arrive. Can't wait.

3 Responses so far.
You might want to think, at least, about the following points:1 Caesar defeated Pompeius Magnus. To whom did Pompeius' former supporters go, and why?2 Where, geographically speaking, did Ocatavianus and MA raise their forces, and why?3 Who were their allies, and why? Which parts of society and the body politic sided with whom?4 Where did they each get the money from to create a major army?5 Which one more urgently needed to have the question of the succession resolved, and why?
try loooking at marc anthony , and cleopatra , it is a similiar format ! lol jim
It's not the best practice to start your essay from the introduction. Try to outline it. For example:1. Why did Marc Antony and Octavian become enemies? What role did Cleopatra play in this conflict?2. How Octavian won the war? What battles he defeated?3. Why did Octavian kill Mark Antony?After answering these questions you sure will have no problem to write introduction & conclusion, and – voila! –you have a nice 5-paragraph essay.Good luck!BTW, try sCoolWork at scoolwork.com – this online paper writing tool provides a good search system for history information.

Back in those days, a common social event for older teenage girls was their debut. When a girl reached the age of about seventeen or eighteen, her parents presented their daughter, or debutante, to society at a fancy party or ball. It came from an old custom of letting society know that you had a daughter of marriageable age. The debutante was "shown off" to society families with the idea that rich parents who had an eligible bachelor son might find her suitable for marrying into their family. But it was just a fancy way to hopefully get your daughter married off and out of the house.
The Utah State Society had it's own form of a Debutante Ball. In the winter, a ball was held where all of the girls who were seniors in high school were presented to society. Along with forty three other girls, I debuted at the Utah Belle Ball in the winter of 1963. It was held at one of the Marriott hotels in the Washington area. I remember descended a long flight of stairs into the ballroom as my name was announced as the daughter of Morley and Dixie Christensen and then I had a dance with my father.
|1963, Utah Belles. I am in the third row, 2nd from the left
Even though there were plenty of well-to-do society type people in the Utah State Society (government officials, congressmen, the Marriotts and even Ezra Taft Benson) with eligible bachelor sons, my parents were never approached about a marriage proposal...probably because I lived on the wrong side of the Potomac River. But that really wasn't the purpose of the dance anyway. It was just a night to feel special and be recognized.

"Seated Star Gazer", Bronze by Jill Shwaiko Bentz
Having visited a number of the Anasazi ruins in the Southwest, Jill found the big horn sheep petroglyphs to have a language of their own. In her work she has expressed the tipping of their heads upward for pride and lower for perseverance. The horns that go backwards represent swiftness, while the legs reflect gracefulness. This piece is one in an edition of 35. Jill shows her work locally at Carol LaRoche on Canyon Road and Indigo Gallery in Madrid.

5th grade and 1st grade. Where has the time gone!?!
Lou, my 6 year old, was so excited she couldn't sleep on Monday night, after meeting her teacher. She got the teacher she wanted. What more could one little girl want? Coco, my 10 year old, was also ready. He got the teacher he wanted, too. Once he found that out he said he was ready for school to start. They were both ready. Perfect, wonderful, great….but, am I?
At the end of the day it doesn't really matter if I am ready. What matters is that they are. What matters is they were all smiles. Perfectly excited. Ready for a new year to begin.
Coco, will be, "Big Man on Campus." Lou will attend school for the entire school day, for the first time. She thinks eating at school is going to be amazing. Wait, the thought just occurred to me, does that mean she's knocking the lunches I make!? I know better. It's not about me. It's about her. Getting older. More mature. Living life. Following in Coco's footsteps. Which reminds me….
On Monday, she asked Coco, "Are 5th graders buddies to 1st graders?" Coco responded, "No." She answered, "Awww…..I would have picked you to be mine." His response…..a smile. Ear to ear. My response….tears in my eyes. Then, and now, as I type it. They truly do love one another. I consider this one of my greatest accomplishments. The way they love one another. Yet, I am getting off track….I know, yet again!!
The first day of school the teachers meet the kids on the blacktop, on the playground. Of course, 1st grade was on one side and 5th all the way on the other. Which left me with a dilemma. With which child do I stand and see off into the school?
My little one, Lou, who is headed off to all day school, for the first time, whom is crazy excited, and has always been the braver soul, even if she is almost 4 years younger than her brother. The one who walked into line, and didn't look back at me. Not once. She didn't even say goodbye. I had to walk in line to give her a hug, a kiss, and say, "Bye, Lou. Have a wonderful first day of 1st grade!"
Or, my big Coco, whom I won't be able to watch walk into school next year. My last opportunity. The one whom, although this is his 6th year doing this, is the one who is still a little uncertain. The one who walked back to me, prior to getting in line, and gave me just one more hug and said, "I love you, Mom. See you after school."
I picked Coco. The one with a little less confidence. The one whom I won't be able to watch do this again. The one who looked for me as he walked into school. Yes, I picked the 5th grader! Yet, as I walked away, from little Lou, my 1st grader, my baby, tears filled my eyes. My baby is headed to full time school. She's ready. And excited. Where has the time gone!?
I've tried to fill my calendar, this week. As I type this, I am sitting at the mechanic shop, getting the oil changed in my car, and the tires rotated. After, I have more errands to run. The idea of 6 1/2 hours, everyday, to myself, isn't as appealing as one might think. What exactly will I do with myself, everyday? Don't get me wrong, I feel very fortunate to be able to see Coco and Lou off to school, and pick them up again, every day. I also feel blessed to be able to be home should either, or both of them, need me on a sick day, or a vacation day from school. I also feel lucky to have the opportunity to volunteer, at the school, quite often. Yet, between all of these things, what else will I find to fill my time and preoccupy me! I guess time will tell….
I find myself sad. Missing them. Having a difficult time believing that summer break is already gone, and school has already begun. Yet, I am doing better than I had anticipated. And, honestly, it's a relief. I don't wish to cry the day away when both of them walked away with smiles on their faces. I mean, come on, I am supposed to put the brave face on for them, not vice versa!!
Coco, and Lou, I love you both, to the moon and back. I wish you both nothing but huge academic success, wonderful friends, to push you in a positive way, and, to while away the time with, and teachers to enjoy learning from. May all of these things come true over this academic year!

* Fight 50 wave enemies that come out in 250 seconds
* Defense an exit in the middle of a empty field against huge amount of enemies from all the directions.
* Win 100 waves of creeps, where the 100th wave is 1000 times stronger than the 1st wave.
In our game, you'll get lots of missions like them, very touch but not impossible.
ZDefense is different from all the other TD games. Unlike Hexdefense, which can be mastered with one strategy, ZDefense has diverse, well-designed maps that need various and creative strategies to conquer. Unlike Robo Defense, which is a long game and needs to be played once and once again to level up, ZDefense is a fast pace game. You can finish playing a map in 5 to 10 mins and defeating 10 to 30 groups of creeps. You spend most of your time on creative and strategic thinking instead of repeating the routine.
We currently provide 5 tutorial, 10 normal ,and 8 hard maps in full version. We will release more maps (Generally 2-3 new maps every week). Full version users can directly download them in our app for free.

Ferguson police got military-grade equipment from the Pentagon in a program apparently coordinated by DHS. Even police departments in peaceful tiny bedroom communities got fully military-level armaments. One tiny town in Washington state even got a tank, an armored tank!
Of course he couldn't just announce one day he was doubling the size of the DHS, so it looks like he's following the Bush administration plan of subsuming the local cops into this new national force.
We could take a note from the gun control freaks and ask what need does any local police force have for arming up like an occupying Army? Are they planning on provoking some big nationwide confrontations?

Biographical entry Mayer, John Henry (1913 - 1983)
TD 1948; MRCS 1935; FRCS 1938; MB BS London 1936; LRCP 1935.
- Born
- 18 January 1913
- Died
- 31 October 1983
- Occupation
- Orthopaedic surgeon
John Mayer was born in Hampstead, London, on 18 January 1913, the son of Harold Mayer, a china and glass merchant, and Madge (née Nathan). He was educated at Brighton College and Guy's Hospital, qualifying in 1935. After house posts there and a demonstratorship he passed the FRCS in 1938 and was registrar to the orthopaedic department under Lambrinudi and Stamm. From 1936 he was a member of the Territorial Army (TD 1948) and during the second world war served as a Major RAMC and orthopaedic specialist in the UK and Egypt, being mentioned in despatches after the Battle of El Alamein. Thereafter he was in South Africa and Italy and on demobilisation in 1945 he returned to be chief assistant, orthopaedic department, at Guy's. In 1946 he was one of the first specialist orthopaedic surgeons to be appointed in the South East Metropolitan Region, being responsible for the service at Pembury Hospital and the children's orthopaedic clinics in Kent. He was also on the staff of the Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead, providing a dedicated service. He was active in management committees particularly of the South East Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board, and its Legal Actions Working Party of which he held the chair for 22 years.
His paper on Colles' fracture was published in the British journal of surgery in 1931 and another on fractures of the femoral neck in the Lancet in 1964. He was honorary secretary of the Section of Orthopaedics of the Royal Society of Medicine 1956-1958. In 1961 symptoms appeared of ischaemic heart disease and peripheral vascular disease which were to test his cheerful stoicism. On retirement he enjoyed gardening and orchid growing. In 1947 he married Sheila Joan Lesser (the daughter of Henry Lesser, CBE, lay member of many medical bodies) and they had two sons Andrew and David, one of whom entered medicine, and one daughter, Jessica. He died on 31 October 1983.

I was sent samples for feature
Two new games from Blue Orange
Fast Flip
Fast Flip is a game for ages 7+ that is about solving challenges in a fast card flipping challenge. Players have cards-one side is a fruit and the other side is a number. In the challenge cards there are a combination of fruits. In a turn, a fruit/number card is drawn to determine the problem solving for that play. If a fruit is shown you have to be the first to count the number of that fruit on the challenge card and if the number is shown you have to be the first to solve which fruit is shown that number of times. The challenge cards are each produced to give only 1 correct answer.
Fast Flip is about processing speed, focus, attention and visual perception.
Dr. Eureka
Dr Eureka is a game for ages 8+ that is about solving challenges with speed and control. Players start with 3 empty test tubes and 3 test tubes of a certain order colored balls (molecules). When a challenge card is turned over you must repeat the pattern taking care because transferring molecules from one tube to another is tricky when you cannot touch them or let them drop out of the tubes.
It's about problem solving, fine motor skills, visual perception, focus attention and processing speed.
Blue Orange games has so many of our favorite family games that really focus on specific skills and offer hours of fun. See them all at http://www.blueorangegames.com/

As I stated in my first post, I work as an Accounts Receivable Rep for my family's small business. Basically, all the money coming into the company comes through me first. Since it's a pretty small operation (less than 50 employees), I also handle the credit department as well. I spend about half my day making phone calls, asking for money on overdue accounts. How I handle my payments has a lot to do with what I do on an everyday basis.
Because of my job I know that the second a payment is missed, a red flag goes up on the account. I don't want any red flags. I have only missed a payment once, when I didn't get paid until a couple days after the due date- I called my credit card company and explained the situation, and they made sure I wasn't flagged. Since then, I've never missed a payment because I pay twice a month. The day I get paid, I transfer a chunk to the balance. That way, if there's an emergency and I really can't put anything towards my balance, my previous payment will cover it. As far as my rating goes, I have an R1 on both of my cards. That's even better than most of my family, who are pretty good with their finances.
Since I'm meticulous with my payments, I have really good credit for my age despite my 52.9% debt ratio. I was looking at getting a car loan through my bank a couple of months ago (thank god I didn't), and the person I spoke to the day I applied for it informed me that with my credit score, I'd be approved for almost anything I applied for at my particular financial institution. At least I've done something right with my cards. If I sustain this payment rating and get rid of my balance, in a few years I'll 100% be able to get a mortgage and buy a house; though that's a whole other post entirely, because I plan on being able to put down a HUGE down payment. A girl can dream, right?
I also want to open an RRSP and max it out every year for as long as I can. I don't want to rely on the Canada Pension, because it will most likely be long gone by the time I'm old enough to benefit from it. If I'm living rent-free and paying no bills, I want to take full advantage of the saving power that gives me. I don't need much since work and school take up so much of my time.
The biggest expense I have is definitely smoking. In an average 30 day month, it costs me around $255 to smoke a pack a day- I have expensive taste at approximately $8.50 a pack. Starting tomorrow I'm going to be buying a carton of 8 packs for $35, which will cut that down to $140. It's still not great, but it's a savings of 45% until I can kick the habit. That gives me an extra $115 to work with.
My other expense is my phone bill, which without overages costs about $80.00 a month with two add-ons totaling $18. That amount includes taxes. That might sound insane, but I got a good plan from Telus when I got an iPhone after 5 months of being phoneless. I get unlimited texting, 10 favourite numbers that I can call for free and are changeable at any time, data, conference calling, voicemail, free local nights from 6PM and weekends, etc. I also noticed that I was paying a LOT in long distance (about $30 over on average), so I put an add-on in place today to keep that in check with 100 extra minutes. I work in Toronto but I live in the far East GTA, so long distance is pretty inevitable. I have 18 months left on my contract with Telus, and every month I look at the plans they have to see if there's something better. So far, for my usage needs this is the best plan available. Between school and work I use a lot of data, and I text almost constantly- it helps to have those two options already worked into the plan so that I don't have to worry about overages. I split my phone payments into 2 payments as well, because 2 $40 payments are easier to budget with than 1 bulk payment. Hopefully now I won't be having any surprises come the beginning of April.
Anyways, that's where I am so far with trying to cut back where I can. Other than that, I'll just try to avoid spending money as much as possible, and every spare cent I get will either go towards debt or savings.
This is proving to be so much easier with a clear-cut plan! Does anyone have any suggestions besides the obvious "quit smoking"? I'm working on that, I swear.

50,000, 50K, fifty-thousand. No matter how you write it, it's a big number, well, as long as you're not talking sports salaries anyway. I crossed the finish line of NaNoWriMo this evening at 10:43PM EST.
This being my first ever NaNoWriMo, I didn't have a clue what to expect. When I started out, I didn't even know if I'd finish, and crossing that line tonight, I didn't know what I'd feel when it happened. You know what I feel? Elated, satisfied, exhausted, surprised, and most of all, confident that I can do this if I really stick with it. You see, even though 50,000 words is a lot of words, and it really is, it's ~200 pages in a standard print paperback, I still have a LOT of work ahead of me.
I'm about half-way through my outline, which has had some major revisions as I went along, and I don't want to cop out on the ending either, so I can't just make one up and tack it on. I built this story backwards from the ending so all the pieces would fit, and I can't, in good conscience cheat myself of that effort. Not at this stage where I'm still working on the process of how I'm going to do things.
Once I have the story completed, I have to start making it readable by other people. There's a few pieces here and there that turned out ok in what's done of the first draft, but a lot of it needs some heavy revision, and back-filling of details and descriptions. Something tells me "They Fight" isn't going to get anyone's heart racing. Oh, and some of my dialog is dreadful!
So I mentioned that this was my first year doing NaNoWriMo, well, it certainly won't be the last if I have anything to say about it. I've learned SO MUCH from this endeavor that I can't imagine not doing it again next year to learn some more.
Working with the deadline of 50,000 words in 30 days means you have to get ~1,667 words written per day. That means you have to either find a few really great days for writing, or do what I did and set aside an hour or two each evening to work on it. That process, that dedication of time and forming the habit of pushing forward was the biggest step forward for me.
My biggest problem before this event was the endless revisions I would do on the first 2-3 chapters of the book, all the while expanding and expanding on the world building and outlining. While self revision is a great thing, nothing I ever write would be anything but eye-bleedingly bad without it, if I had kept allowing myself to do it, I would never have come close to 50,000 words. It was the first hurdle I had to cross, and it took me nearly a week to get past it and get my butt in gear on the rest of the story.
I'll try to do more blog posts as I go about this process, to let you know what I'm learning along the way. As for this blog post being a bit of a train wreck. Tonight I'm ok with that, I can always come back and revise it later 😉

Week 1 (Jan 6 – Jan 9)
Wednesday, Afternoon run – 1:00 with Gary out at Scotia. It was so nice to go out and do trails with Gary again, after essentially a two month hiatus of not doing any run with him. It was at around an 8-8:30 pace on those trails, so we were cruising pretty decently. And thus, the season has begun.
Thursday, Afternoon run – :45 alone. It was just a little loop around town; nothing special
Friday, Afternoon run – :30 alone. I still feel a little sore from the trails on Wednesday with Gary. It may be a rude awakening coming back to these big weekends.
Saturday, Morning run – 2:00 with Gary at Tussey. Again, it was so nice to get out on the trails again with someone else. I really needed a run like this. We were 9 minute miles pretty much the whole time, which was pretty promising with all the hills and technical trails out in Rothrock.
Week 2 (Jan 10 – Jan 16)
Sunday, Morning run – 2:00 with Gary at Shingletown. While my legs definitely felt a little heavier than yesterday, especially over the two pretty big climbs that we did, it was promising that I was able to go back-to-back with hilly trails for two hours on the first weekend back. It'll be nice when we can start pushing 5 hours for these two days, and maybe throw in a Friday too, but this is a nice place to start the season at.
Monday, Morning lift
Afternoon run – :45 alone; I TA Mondays 4-6 for the rest of the semester, so I won't be able to run with the team from here on out.
Tuesday, Afternoon run – :30 alone; I forgot how slow and heavy running in snow feels like.
Wednesday, Morning lift
Afternoon run – :35 with the team at just about 7 min/mile pace; through the icy sidewalks at this pace feel really fast, especially with heavy legs. I definitely have a lot of speed to get back before Boston and my 50ks this spring.
Thursday, Afternoon run – :50 with the team. Doing these runs at 7:30 to 7:40 pace is infinitely more comfortable for rest days than doing them at 7s, although I will have to keep pushing the pace if I want to do well at the Naked Bavarian (which I've heard is a fast trail course) and Boston.
Friday, Afternoon run – 2:00 with Gary at Scotia. This was more of a night run than an afternoon run, but whatever. It was nice to get the weekend started out right with some snowy, less-than-Shingletown-technical trails and a good hour and ten minutes or so of night running. I haven't run in trails in the dark since Kettle, so this was a decent awakening of how much different night trail running is.
Saturday, Morning run – 2:00 with Gary at Shingletown. Contrary to the relative ease of the trails at Scotia, this run was probably the most technical run that Gary and I have done together. There was a point where we were hiking up the backside of a trail at 27 min/mile. And dripping sweat into the snow. It was snowy, rocky, slippery, and steep, and all this spelled a very tiring and fatiguing run. There were no sprained ankles, but there were some sprained spirits.
Afternoon game – Pats win
Week 3 (Jan 17 – Jan 23)
Sunday, Morning run – 1:00 alone at AccuCoaster. Gary wasn't able to come out after the pounding that our legs took the last two days, so I went out for a very slow hour that may or may not have involved walking on perfectly flat trails and a slight fear that a bear was following me.
Monday, Morning lift
Afternoon run – :30 that was actually a bike in the gym. It was super cold outside and my legs were still dead, so I decided to be a wimp and bike. I forgot what it's like to constantly be training on dead legs.
Tuesday, Afternoon workout – 6 x sunset hill (about 1:32 to 1:38 uphills). Not a necessarily long workout, but with the cold and the dry air, I was definitely breathing heavy by the end of it. I have a long way to go before I get the speed I need for Boston, but as long as I do 1 or 2 workouts a week, I think I'll be there in time.
Night yoga – worst experience of my life
Wednesday, Morning lift
Afternoon run – 1:00 at Scotia with Gary during our (hopefully) weekly midweek training runs. My legs felt heavy from the workout yesterday, yoga last night, and lift this morning, so it was a little more difficult than I would have wanted for that pace. But hey, what can you do?
Thursday, Afternoon bike – :30 on the stationary bike. I hate biking on those things, but I wanted to give my legs a little break after yesterday and before the weekend.
Friday, Afternoon run – 1:30 with Gary at Scotia; pretty standard
Saturday, Morning run – 2:00 through the snow at Tussey; it took us two hours to go just over 6 miles with the 6-9″ of snow that we got Friday night/Saturday morning. It was so incredibly and pretty frustrating at times. I was so tired and so sore when I got done.
Week 4 (Jan 24 – Jan 30)
Sunday, Morning run – 1:30 out at Tussey, with about :45 with snowshoes and :45 without. I was working really hard with trying to wear the snow shoes, so I eventually just said "f it" and switched to running. It was a little bit easier than yesterday, but still a lot of work going through the snow.
Monday, No morning lift – my neck was still sore from playing football yesterday, and with how shredded my legs feel, I don't think I would have gotten anything out of the lift. I'll possibly lift on Friday then.
Afternoon run – :35 alone around town; running on unplowed/unkept sidewalks after a snow is much more difficult than I remember.
Tuesday, Morning bike – :30 on the stationary bike at White Building; I'm trying to get my two-a-days in without adding running mileage (and I don't have to wake up early now); we'll see how this goes.
Afternoon workout – 20 minute tempo out-and-back on 21. There were only 4 of us, and the top guy did it at about 5:45 to 5:50 pace, so if I was 1 to 1.5 minutes back of him, I would have 6:05 to 6:15 pace. I'm not gonna complain about that this early in the season when I'm in the middle of a difficult cycle.
Wednesday, Morning workout
Afternoon run – 1:00 out at Scotia in my new Nike Kigers; Gary is getting over being sick, so he wasn't able to make it, but it was still nice to get out and do trails in the middle of the week.
Thursday, Morning bike – :30 on the stationary
Friday, Afternoon run – 1:00 out at AccuCoaster. Damn, my legs are tired.
Saturday, Morning run – 1:30 with Boggs from Shingletown; lots of snow again, and still a difficult run. Legs are still tired, but still moving.

|285 miles from Big Spring to Terlingua
At Monahans we left the interstate on Highway 18 for a few miles to the southern edge of town where we turned off on the little used FM 1776. This is a rather lonely stretch of highway. From here to Alpine, a distance of just over 100 miles, there are no towns of note, just the little farming community of Coyanosa with fewer than 150 residents. A few miles after turning onto this highway, we crossed the fabled Pecos River, which is little more than an irrigation ditch at this point. Like the Rio Grande, which it empties into near Langtry, the Pecos is drained by farmers in New Mexico.
As we approached Interstate 10, the mountains came into view. At Interstate 10, FM 1776 becomes US 67, a section of road we traveled on in August 2011 during our trip to the Davis Mountains. We visited lots of places in the area at that time, and I invite you to flip back in the blog to that time to visit those places with us. For now, we continued down the highway to Alpine, where we made our last stop for gas before jumping off into the "Last Frontier", as locals refer to this part of Texas.
At Alpine, we turned due south onto Texas 118 for the final 80 miles. This was the most scenic section of the trip. There are so many landmarks of note we passed along the way: Cathedral Peak, Elephant Mountain, Santiago Peak, Christmas Mountains, and Nine-Point Mesa, to name a few. These may not be household names to most people, but the folks of the Big Bend know these landmarks.
The first 20 miles or so south of Alpine is composed of mild ups and downs as the highway climbs onto a high plateau. Near Elephant Mountain, the highway becomes level and stretch for most of the remainder of the trip.
You won't see houses along this drive. You'll see very few ranches, very few roads. This is empty country in the sense of settlement -- and I like that. When you do come across a community, like Study Butte (pronounced "Stew-dee"), you appreciate it, even though there is only a scattering of businesses here. But for the next 8 nights, Study Butte is our home. We'll be surrounded by this desert terrain and these quiet mountains.
It should be fun.

Well in advance of a trip my wife, Susan, and I were planning to go to eastern Europe for some snowshoeing/winter hiking in Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary. We began looking for a guide. We are both experienced walkers and ordinairly don't use guides or join groups because we enjoy the adventure of getting maps, guide books and the like to find our our own way. Because much of the geology in the areas we planned to visit includes limestone formations with caves and sink holes that could be hidden under snow, we opted to use a guide, at least o… (>>>)
Hiking in Retezat national park in Romania
Our trip in Romania during September, 2006 provided the perfect combination of cultural and hiking activities. I especially enjoyed hiking in the Fagaras Mountains to Varful Laitel and to and from the Podragu Cabana. All of the peaks in the Transylvanian Alps are spectacular. Highlights of the trip included lunch at your grandmother's home and the farewell dinner in Bucharest. I also enjoyed visiting the towns of Sighisoara and Sibiu. There is so much wonderful history in such places. You are to be commended for organizing such a… (>>>)
South African hiker in Romania
In the late fall 2006 when I was on a business trip to Romania, I found I had a few days without any direct work activities, and I decided to try and book some hiking in the Carpathian Mountains, which I had always wanted to do. I found Iulian Cozma's details on his web site, and in no time at all I had made contact and booked a short hiking trip with him. We met the day before, as arranged, in Brasov. I would like to say that immediately, any concerns that I had were alleviated by his very professional manner. The overriding impression that I rece… (>>>)
Weekendk hiking in Romania
Dear Iulian, I want to thank you for the wonderful day you arranged for me on Saturday. It was so much more than what I was expecting and I enjoyed every minute. I'm, looking foward to the next adventure. Best regards,

Two days hiking in Fagaras mountains
I found Iulian through his website and asked him to put together a 2-day program of day hikes for my wife and me. Iulian proposed some hikes in the Fagaras range and made the logistics very easy so we could easily rendezvous with him in Bran. I am certainly comfortable hiking on my own in my own country but I know we were a little more confident in these mountains because we had a guide. The views were beautiful and the terrain was a good mix of alpine meadow and bare rock. Iulian is an excellent hiking companion and we never were at a loss for thing… (>>>)
Hikers in Retezat national park
The whole trip was fabulous. If we need to choose, certainly our top two highlights were the hikes from Cabana Balea Lac to Cabana Podragu and back. What glorious views in every direction! The grasses and wildflowers were lovely. It was fun hiking along the high ridges, slipping in and out of clouds. One minute, we were in warm sun; the next, we were almost hidden from view. Those two hikes are probably the most spectacular we have ever done anywhere. The hike from Lac Balea to Varful Laitel was lovely, too. That's the first time I think we … (>>>)
American hikers in Romania
We have been on mountain treks in several countries, always with guides, and in varying degrees of difficulty and exposure. We were most pleased with Iulian Cozma's services during our recent hike in Romania (early September, 2006). He is professional in every respect and always has the interest of the hikers in mind. Safety is the most important factor and this was shown on several occasions on our trip with him. Adequate food and water (bottled), comfort, and educational experiences were emphasized and enjoyed by all. We left Iu… (>>>)
Turisti in muntii Fagaras
Stimate Domnule Cozma, Iti multumim frumos de ajutorul si stima acordata catre noi. Am avut 4 zile de calatorit prin muntii Carpati si am ramas foarte multumiti de ocasia acordata noua. Totul a fost la un nivel SUPER organizat si petrecut. Cu placere om oferi sa se foloseasca de Fa. Julian Cozma cunoscutilor si prietenilor nostri care iubesc muntii.

US hiker in Romania Fagaras mountains
It's hyperbole — but only a little — to say that all I knew about Romania before going in August 2006 could be summed up in three names: Dracula, Nadia Comaneci, and Nicolai Ceausescu. In large part, Romania has been a sphinx to me, and, I suspect, to many others in the West. When I announced this trip to friends, the first question I often received was "Why Romania?" Why, indeed? You would do well to put that question to Iulian Cozma, whose obvious love and pride for his native land made the week I spent under his guidance memorable … (>>>)

dude i miss you
by Anonymous-Writer • June 10, 2017 • * Safe for Work *, To You • 1 Comment
dude i miss you.
i loved you, and that wasnt sometihng i'd ever felt before.
i feel blessed to have felt it with you.
but i fucked up, and so did you. i regret that.
i regret how we handled shit, but i would never regret my relationship with you.
i'm with someone new now. and i think i can love him too.
it fucks me up though, you know? because sometimes you pop up in my mind
and sometimes i dont understand why the tears fall down my cheeks.
theyre all good memories though.
i can't even tell you this haha. i legit can't.
we don't talk anymore. i'm scared to start a conversation because i'm scared to know if you've moved on.
that's crazy right? that's so selfish. but isn't everyone selfish in love?
i dont know if i'm still in love with you. i don't think i am. but maybe i'm being wishful.
it hurts sometimes. help me make it stop.
i miss you. i hope youre doing well for yourself. i genuinely genuinely do.
mind stalker.

gratitude: my dog Pedro
Every time I make a blog post about my dog Pedro I feel like I have to apologize or justify it. It all stems from me never having been a dog person until Paul and I adopted Pedro last year. Until then, I mostly just tolerated my family pets. Owning Pedro has turned me into one of those dog lover people. I admit it, I am in love with my dog. I blame it on Paul's love for Pedro being contagious and being a married couple without kids. It's not our fault we're spoiling our dog! It's just our now-that-we're-married-we-must-nurture-something instincts kicking in! We cannot be blamed for our actions or any cheesy voices we slip into while talking to our dog.
With that being said, I am very thankful for Pedro. Having Pedro makes Paul and I feel more like a family instead of just a couple. He's brought smiles to mine and Paul's faces on days when nothing else would quite do the trick. He's been a great road trip companion on long drives to St. Louis. He's such a loving, low-key dog (anxiety attacks aside), it's really hard not to care about him. He even gives me an excuse to stay active with walks outside when the temperature has dropped below freezing (this is usually a good thing).
He's shown me that I actually do have maternal extincts buried somewhere inside me and that I have what it takes to keep a living things alive for an extended period of time. Thanks Pedro. I'm sure our future children will thank you someday too.

I've been thinking about this post on Living Lutheran. The post wonders how our communities would be different if the book of Ruth was our central faith formation document.
Some of us might recoil at even playing with this idea. Are we not verging on blasphemy? Some of us might argue that we've crossed the line into blasphemy.
But I could argue that many Christian churches are rooted in books other than the 4 Gospels. Many churches offer a much more Paul-centric theology than Christ-centric. And some are downright Old Testament based, especially the law-as-cudgel part of the Old Testament.
I have a friend who loves going to Mepkin Abbey because she prefers the central place of the Psalms that monastic traditions often offer in their worship. She feels that the Psalms are so much more honest than the feel-good theology that she encounters in her local church.
I find my thoughts returning to this part of the blog post about Ruth:
"An Old Testament professor of mine defined 'shalom' as that state where 'You have everything you need to live and be happy and I know it. And I have everything I need to live and be happy and you know it.' The word shalom does not (to the best of my knowledge) occur in the book of Ruth, but that sense of mutual concern for each other's well-being seems to undergird the entire narrative.
If the Hebrew word shalom does not occur in Ruth, the word 'hesed' certainly does. Hesed signifies something like 'extravagant, faithful, merciful, kind, loving, loyalty.' It is a rich concept and an important theme in this book. It is an attribute of God but also a human attribute modeled by Ruth in her treatment of Naomi, and Boaz in his treatment of Ruth. My imaginary community of faith would be a community of hesed."
A community based on shalom and hesed is not something I've experienced often or for long periods of time. I'm much more likely to be rooted in the soils of fretting and anxiety and needless worry. What would my life look like if my faith formation texts had stressed the shalom and hesed aspects of God? What would I have learned if I had lived in communities faithful and fiercely committed to these ideals?
And here's the question that's even more important to me this morning. I'm only halfway through my life. Could I consistently change my inner narratives? Could I commit to shalom and hesed and reject fear and anxiety?
feeling the feelings…

Gary Higgins is a folk singer who worked with a number of bands before being incarcerated in 1973 on a drug charge. Before sentencing, he recorded this album, Red Hash, and disappeared from the music scene after. It wasn't till the mid 2000s that record label Drag City was able to find and contact Gary, to get this album in circulation again. When I first listened to this album I had no idea, but it still stood out among 70s Folk albums despite it's history.
Thicker Than a Smokey kicks off the album with some smooth acoustic guitars and Gary's soft and gentle voice. It's a very relatable song to me, a song about indecision of the future, and regret from the past. I saw a website putting his sound with Nick Drake and Iron & Wine, and I think those comparisons are very apt. It's very gentle, intimate, melancholy, and hyptnotic. I think it all comes together especially on Telegraph Towers, where his sound is expanded a little bit with an upright bass as two guitars dance with each other.. it's just enchanting and a little sad.
Actually my favorite song off the album changes with each listen. Now it's I Pick Notes From the Sky, the piano melody with Gary's more intense singing is a perfect match. I think this song makes me wish he recorded much more music, I think a full album with a more expanded sound would've been even better (even though I LOVE Red Hash). Down on the Farm is an unexpected change of pace, with Gary putting on his best Captain Beefheart/Howlin' Wolf voice. It's the only time in the album he does this but it doesn't feel too random or pointless. Unable to Fly brings it back to the despondent feel of the rest of the album with a flute so gentle you might not notice it.
The rerelease from Drag City includes two more songs, Don't Ya Know and Last Great Sperm Whale. They're both fantastic songs like the rest of the album, but I wouldn't call them essential to the experience. I'm very glad we have them though. This is an absolute classic Folk album, and it blows my mind that it was nearly forgotten about forever, with no one knowing about this for 40+ years. It makes me think of other great albums that the world has never heard before, just waiting to be rediscovered.

Never mind
As might have been expected, Steelers linebacker James Harrison has walked away scot-free on domestic violence charges. The Allegheny County district attorney's office dropped assault and criminal mischief charges Thursday. It appears Harrison's girlfriend decided she didn't want to pursue the case, and Harrison's attorney pointed out that his client already had completed anger-management counseling. Wow. The incident occurred on March 8, and in less than a month, all the demons that caused Harrison to whack a virtually defenseless woman have been exorcised. He must've gone to the same therapist who "cured" the Rev. Ted Haggard of his homosexuality in a couple of weeks. I just wonder what kind of woman would absolve a so-called "man" of responsibility for breaking down their bedroom door and smacking them in the face. Someone with very low self-esteem? Someone with a strong belief in second chances? Or maybe someone who heard the whistle as the "gravy train" started to pull out of the station? I can't comprehend it. Despite what Dan Rooney might say, there's never an excuse for a 250-pound man to hit a woman in the face. Anyone who does that should spend some time in jail.

Puppet Labs on Wednesday released the Puppet Labs 2014 State of DevOps Report. This year's third annual DevOps report is based on the largest and most comprehensive survey to date, with more than 9,200 IT and software development professionals responding from companies of all types and sizes, from around the world.
This year's findings revealed that companies with high-performing IT organizations are twice as likely to exceed their profitability, market share and productivity goals. The analysis also revealed that for the second consecutive year, DevOps practices are being adopted at accelerated rates and high-performing IT organizations deploy code 30 times more frequently with 50 percent fewer failures.
To produce the survey and report, Puppet Labs partnered with Gene Kim, author of The Phoenix Project: A Novel About IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win; Jez Humble, co-author of Continuous Delivery and Lean Enterprise and Principal at ThoughtWorks; and Dr. Nicole Forsgren Velasquez, a professor at the Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University and an expert on the impacts of IT, knowledge management and user experience.
Analysis of the survey results also showed that IT performance strongly correlates with well-known DevOps practices such as use of version control and continuous delivery. Organizations practicing DevOps benefit from a cycle of continuous learning and improvement that helps them move ahead of the competition.
"This year's survey is the first rigorous study to confirm that DevOps practices and strong IT performance can drive real business value," said Nigel Kersten, CIO of Puppet Labs. "Now we have the data to back up our contention that IT should be treated as a strategic asset to the business, not a cost center. Organizations that get this are going to pull ahead of competitors, getting their products to market faster and responding more quickly to customer feedback."
Other key findings from the Puppet Labs 2014 State of DevOps Report include:
- Organizational culture and climate for learning: Open information flow, cross-functional collaboration, shared responsibilities, learning from failures and new ideas are at the heart of DevOps, and correlate strongly with high organizational performance.
- Job satisfaction: A surprising finding was that job satisfaction is the number one predictor of organizational performance and that DevOps practices increase employee satisfaction, leading to better business outcomes.
"The best global organizations employ IT practices that enable agility and reliability, by breaking down silos and actively encouraging collaboration across boundaries. They sustain a level of IT performance that hardly seems possible to the rest of the world," said Gene Kim. "The findings show that DevOps helps businesses win, enabling them to exceed profitability, market share and productivity goals -- all of which are very likely reflected in company stock market performance, as measured by market capitalization growth."

Article: (n) a particular item or object, typically one of a specified type.
I occasionally bring up a phrase I heard as a kid to see if it's still floating around in the general lexicon of today's world.
More often than not it's extinct.
But I didn't have time to do this today, so I will venture a guess that a certain idea I learned as a child has probably gone the way of the hula-hoop. (Of course, how many people know what a hula-hoop is? Maybe I should say it's gone the way of the last I-Phone.)
The phrase is "the real article."
It's a compliment we used to bestow on products, projects–and even people–when what they professed to be was what they actually delivered.
I would humbly contend that one of the errors of our time is the overabundance of opinions, which hang in the air, waiting for confirmation.
This is why I'm careful not to espouse too many doctrines or beliefs. I know I may not be able to follow up on them. More than anything else in life, I want to be "the real article."
I want you to hear me say "blue" and not have you show up to get "green"–and a lot of excuses
I want to portray a functional form of love which is within my capacity instead of delivering you an ambiguous package of emotion, insisting it's real (and maybe has come from God.)
I don't think there's anything wrong with being shallow, weak and poor of spirit–as long as you have not portrayed yourself with a spotlight of nobility.
- We don't need people to be perfect.
- We don't require them to be great.
- We are, however, pretty determined that they toe some sort of line of consistency.
The "real article" is a decision to set ourselves off and be candid about our weaknesses and willing to share our strengths without feeling the need to lie or apologize.
If there were a sudden burst of truthfulness that swept over the city of Washington, D.C., the legislators and even the President would have to admit that no single political party has all the solutions for our nation's problems. Some resolutions require a conservative approach, and others plead for liberality.
It is the wise steward of purpose who can distinguish what needs to be done, and without fear, do what is necessary … and therefore, become "the real article."

Sun is shining and the weather is easy. The current flats and nearshore shallow water fishing in the lower Florida Keys couldn't be much better for the month of November. Juvenile tarpon and snook are bunching together. Redfish can be found in their more overlooked locations. Large bonefish are making a strong appearance on a few select flats. And the permit, oh the permit, I sometimes think there is just more and more of them around each year. Aside from the more prized sport and gamefish, good numbers of sea-trout, pompano, jacks, and large barracuda can also be found in the lower Keys backcountry right now. The word variety petty much sums it up, and with large snapper filets to go home with, it is currently a great time to fish the flats and backcountry of the lower Florida Keys and Key West.
Weather is a factor for this time of year and it does dictate what is within a possible fishing realm. Warmth and light winds open up the entire spectrum, while cool air frontal conditions will somewhat limit you to the more aggressive predatory species. Good news is, future weather conditions appear to be quite mild, and it looks like we have at least another month or so of stable water temps and conditions, which means great gamefish potential. The cool and crisp air that upcoming months will produce make for very desirable conditions for both angler and fish.
For those who enjoy the sport in artificial lure fishing, the next few months offer great potential here as well. Sebile lures and their ultra realistic designs fool Florida Keys fish like no other. With a wide variety in design and color, Sebile has certainly found a niche in saltwater lure fishing. The action I see from these lures makes it hard to use any other while on the water. Lure fishing the many backwater areas of the lower Keys offers a very unique and exciting opportunity where action is plentiful. The next few months offer the best potential for this.
Fly-fisherman can expect good action from a variety of species during our upcoming months as well. As stated before, if the air temps are mild and the wind speed is low, I have seen this time of year out perform our Spring months in respect to variety. If high winds do prevail throughout a day, plenty of sight fly fishing potential for large barracuda, juvenile sharks, and redfish exists on any windy day near mangrove shorelines hidden from the wind. I often prefer the days I am forced to explore the seemingly endless amount of sheltered shallow water areas of the lower Keys, you will never see more scenic fishing ground.
I have plenty of availability for the next few months and I always enjoy showing people our productive fishing potential during a more overlooked time of year. Slots are running low for next year's sport and gamefish season, and for all of those onboard I'm looking forward to it. Check out http://keywestflatsfishing.cc for more info, thanks for reading.
The next month or so will produce great baby tarpon, permit, bonefish, snook, and redfish opportunity while in between cold fronts. During the actual frontal conditions, a large variety in fish will still be present, while the above become less available, but are still possible. There is hardly ever a day where fish can not be caught in the lower Florida Keys flats and backcountry.
To long to list.
Experience the best in Florida Keys & Key West flats & backcountry fishing with native and year round professional fishing guide, Capt Luke Kelly. IGFA certified captain specializing in shallow water sight-fishing for tarpon, permit, bonefish, and more with quality fly and light tackle gear.

The Force Of The Ancient Land, an album by Mathias Hemmingby's one-man project Eldamar, is a work that simultaneously demonstrates some of the best and worst elements that the atmospheric black metal genre has to offer. It is an ambitious debut that falls short of achieving its aim of being a masterpiece, but does so in a way that is still admirable and enjoyable.
The first thing that will surely impress listeners about The Force Of The Ancient Land is the quality of the production; apart from the synth-created female vocals that occasionally become tedious, the album sounds incredible. Even in an age when home-produced high-quality music has become a common thing, Eldamar's debut ranks high amongst the very best albums when it comes to production.
The Force Of The Ancient Land is less impressive when it comes to songwriting, however. While the production is great and the overall feeling of the music is rather epic and wonderfully otherworldly, the musical ideas themselves - while good - are stretched out to infinity and beyond and listening to the entire album from beginning to end becomes something of a chore at about 45 minutes in. There simply isn't enough going on musically to justify the more than 70-minute length of The Force Of The Ancient Land. If the album were just 50 minutes long, it would work much better. As it is, a potentially great listening experience has been forcefully made so long that it almost becomes something you'd play in the background while busy with other activities rather than a work of art that you really get drawn into.
Fans of Caladan Brood and similar bands will no doubt find Eldamar's debut album to be one of the best releases of 2016, and with its epic soundscape, great production, and many lovely melodies, that is not surprising. Aiming for greatness is always admirable and Hemmingby certainly has the potential to hit the target with his future releases as Eldamar, even if this first album is just plain good and nothing more.
