God's Guidance
"Our Higher Power is accessible to us at all times. We receive guidance when we ask for knowledge of God's will for us."
It's not always easy to make the right decision. This is especially true for addicts learning to live by spiritual principles for the first time. In addiction, we developed self-destructive, anti-social impulses. When conflict arose, we took our cues from those negative impulses. Our disease didn't prepare us to make sound decisions.
Today, to find the direction we need, we ask our Higher Power. We stop; we pray; and, quietly, we listen within for guidance. We've come to believe that we can rely on a Power greater than ourselves. That Power is accessible to us whenever we need it. All we need do is pray for knowledge of our God's will for us and the power to carry it out.
Each time we do this, each time we find direction amidst our confusion, our faith grows. The more we rely on our Higher Power, the easier it becomes to ask for direction. We've found the Power we were lacking in our addiction, a Power that is available to us at all times. To find the direction we need to live fully and grow spiritually, all we have to do is maintain contact with the God of our understanding.
Just for today: My Higher Power is a source of spiritual guidance within me that I can always draw upon. When I lack direction today, I will ask for knowledge of my Higher Power's will.

Positive Attitudes � A 12 Step Program For HIV Affected Persons by Reggie Smith
Positive Attitudes – A 12 Step Program For HIV Affected Persons
Published August 15, 2012 | By Reggie Smith
I have personally benefited from using the principles of this 12-step program for those of us who acknowledge that we are affected by HIV. I say "those of us who have acknowledged" because most, if not all of us, have been affected by HIV. Not everyone has come to terms with it, or has identified just how they are affected. Let's explore some of the scenarios with which YOU may be included in this demographic first, and then discuss whether this program may right for you.
The program has been called HIV Anonymous for over 10 years, but because the stigma of HIV would not allow many people to get past the idea of being associated with, seen around, or connected to anything with HIV in the name or title, the name of the program is now "Positive Attitudes". Many people are affected because they have yet to deal with the trauma of lost loved one's. That is especially true for those whose families have been stigmatized to the point of hiding the fact that those loved one's were HIV+ prior to death.
Of course, if you are sexually active, you are eligible to become a host for HIV. The mere fact that sexually active people need to navigate the minefield of truth and reconciliation, with self and partners, is reason enough to be involved in a support group. What I have found is that our individualistic nature is something the HIV retrovirus is counting on in it's quest to make YOU a host for HIV. The Positive Attitudes program is an answer to the question, "what is out there for the uninfected person?". Where can we all go to discuss the spiritual, emotional and mental issues and behaviors that make us humans such fertile ground for manifesting HIV?
Positive Attitudes is a twelve- step support program adapted from Alcoholics Anonymous. It is a global network that offers unbiased support to people infected with, affected by, or at risk for HIV. There is a dire need to remove the stigma and face the fears and ignorance surrounding HIV & AIDS. This fellowship is helping to reduce the prejudice and discrimination against HIV-affected individuals. They are a fellowship of men and women who are committed to a way of life that will help fight the spread of HIV.
Positive Attitudes is a fellowship of persons who have found that living with a potentially terminal illness and/or affected by this illness is a major challenge. They are individuals who meet regularly as a group, assisting one another in this new way of life. They have no outside affiliations. Your past is kept in confidence within the group. They don't thrive on your past, but concentrate on what we want for today and our future. For many, the realization of their present conditions left them feeling dejected and depressed. They could no longer live life to its fullest. They became disoriented, and their peace of mind was displaced by uncontrollable emotions.
The folks involved in Positive Attitudes support groups are not there to change you. They are not there to segregate or impose a particular belief system upon you. However, if you feel remorse that you have transmitted HIV to another person, or if you are concerned that your behavior could spread HIV, or maybe you just want to fellowship with other people who are living in balance and harmony with HIV and AIDS, then Positive Attitudes is for you.
There are thousands of sources telling you what to do—and what not to do. Some sources claim that HIV causes AIDS and others claim that it does not. The folks at Positive Attitudes avoid getting caught up in scientific contention. We have experienced much suffering. We have seen too many broken hearts and too many people die to take one side in an unresolved scientific debate. They also emphasize Prevention for Positives, which includes prevention challenges specific to people already infected with HIV, such as re-infection with resistant strains of HIV, co-infection with hepatitis, TB, and STD's, denial of risk, health issues, and psychosocial issues. The choice to take medication for HIV or AIDS is a decision that each individual must make.
If you have seen yourself or a loved one in your minds eye wile reading this information, then your spirit is telling you that you read it for a reason. Do yourself a favor and start (or continue) listening to your spirit. Reach out to these folks to let them know they are on the right track as they are working to make this program available for you. They have a sister site for Hepatitis C with a bulletin board that is very active with treatment experienced people sharing their strength, hope and experience.

LIVING JUST A LITTLE, LAUGHING JUST A LITTLE (AIN�T EASY) by Reggie Smith
by Reggie Smith
I get tired of taking meds!! I know that is not the politically correct position to take, but if you have been taking meds for any period of time, as I have, you might just get tired of taking medications every day too!! Adherence means having to be disciplined enough to take medications EVERY day, in some cases two or three times a day. That is not an easy thing to do, even if it is the difference between good and bad health, or as we have been told and have sometimes experienced, the difference between life and death.
Why should I be any different than most humans I know? After all, adherence is the flip side of prevention, right? The fact that I am in this position of having to take these HIV meds is because I was not disciplined enough to wear a condom, so what makes me think that all of a sudden I am going to be disciplined enough to maintain this new lifestyle perfectly every day! Furthermore, I have been addicted to other things in my life, and I have worked very hard to break those addictions so that I could be the thing my heart yearns for…FREE! Now I find myself strung out on other drugs that I better not stop taking if I want to feel good and protect those whom I love.
Well, for those of us who are hosts to the HIV virus, we need to know that our situation is way beyond just how we feel. The virus is not a morale issue, nor is our well being contingent on what we think about how we got HIV. It is bigger than our often natural desire to be undisciplined and inconsistent. The fact is that experience is showing us that those who take these medications to suppress the HIV virus in our systems seem to benefit the most. I remember when there were no medications at all, and very little if any hope for those of us who fought valiantly to enjoy the best quality life we could. We had to do so without the option of the "lifesaving" medicines that we now find ourselves sometimes taking for granted. How else could we explain the evolution of attitudes about HIV, and how the attitudes about living with the virus has gone from hopelessness to recklessness?
People think that it is easy to just take the medications if they catch the virus, but like I always try to share with those who are still HIV negative, it's easier to wear a condom than it is to get and take medications every day for the rest of your life. When I ask people about their addictions to things like cigarettes, sugar, fried chicken, soda, etc., most say that they do not have the discipline to stop using those substances, even with the knowledge that they may be harmful to their health. Many have said "I can't think about living without my ____"!! So clearly the threat of bad health is not the ultimate motivation to live a disciplined life. What is it that will get folks to change their behaviors?
I have been sick and at deaths door. When you have had that kind of experience, or if you have lived as long as many of us who are long time survivors have, the motivation to adhere to our medicine regimens is rooted in gratititude. I try to remember what it was like being sick and how much more enjoyable my life is when I am feeling physically well. Life is so much more sweeter, and I am so much more of a productive human being when I am not consumed with how to overcome sickness. Besides, many of us longtime survivors are now grandparents, so the curiosity of how my grandchildren will look and be as they grow up is keeping me going too! I mean, my children are still a part of my motivation to be well, but my grandchildren are even more intriguing, and watching them grow will take more time, so if the meds will help me achieve that, I guess I will do my best to adhere to the regimen as prescribed. The best thing I can do along with that is to make sure that I drink enough water and do the other things that I can to try to keep my organs (i.e., liver, kidneys, heart, etc.) as healthy as I can!
So, even though I am tired of taking meds, and I want to be free of even the addiction to medications that are legal and beneficial; and even though I can use my humanity as an excuse to not take meds all the time because I am not perfect…I am way too grateful and nosy about what life has to offer to NOT take them. There are too many who have died as a result of either side of the arguments of the scientific debate. I chose to err on the side of caution for now. Actually that has been working out pretty well for me. After being sick in 2005, I have been taking the antiretroviral combination that has kept my virus at undetectable levels, and allowed me to enjoy really good health. With God's grace, and enough desire to live well, I have been able to adhere pretty well to this regimen. My oldest granddaughter was 2 years old at the time. Now she is nine, and I have two other grand daughters, a grandson, and a set of boy/girl twins due in months! I play softball and golf, take flying lessons, I am of service to my community, and I am blessed to share my experience and hope with you. I think that the benefits to adhering to this regimen of medicines is bigger than what I might be feeling about being tired.
There are probably a lot of politically correct things that could be said to try to encourage people like you and me to adhere to taking our medications religiously, but for me it's best that I remember that it is easier to try to stay healthy than it is to try to get well!! I have seen the fruits of being alive and well, and I will try to remain grateful for every day that I can have this wonderful life. If part of the price for being able to share life and love, while protecting my wife, who is HIV negative from any greater danger, than I need to be unselfish enough, and willing enough to give it my very best shot. There are plenty of things that we can do to try to understand ourselves and our addictions better. Twelve step programs like HIV Anonymous (www.hivanonymous.com) have been very helpful on both accord. So I suggest we do our best to make the right choice on a daily basis so that we can enjoy watching the adventure of life unfold!
Here in "RISE", we are always seeking to share encouragement and information, as well as resources in the community where we might find support for our healing. We hope that you will be uplifted by the stories of these young women living with HIV, and are as encouraged as we are about the great potential of loves healing power!

Not On The Outside, But Inside's Strong
Anyone who has experienced death in a personal way has probably come to this one conclusion...we are all spiritual beings having a human experience. I had always thought this to be the case, but it became most evident when I looked at the remains of my father in his casket. I had known the spirit that had inhabited his body, and it was clear that the energy that was my father no longer "lived" in the body that lay before me.
Death is the most extreme example of how our humanity is an energetic reality. Pain seems to cause the kind of suffering that is causing many of my friends to arrive at this same conclusion. Many of my peers are experiencing health challenges. As a result, they are looking for healing solutions. Because many of them know about the diseases (HIV/HEP-C) that I have lived with for so long, and the holistic practices I have incorporated in my lifestyle, they come to me for answers and suggestions.
When I was blessed with the opportunity to recover from active drug and alcohol addiction back in 1985, I realized that anything is possible with faith and desire. Pain and suffering were certainly the motivation for my desire and willingness to have faith. Shame and hopelessness plagued my mind and spirit, and I had to learn how to heal both mind and spirit if my human body was going to ever thrive again.
The same process of healing the mind and spirit can be used to treat the physical maladies. "Sickness" seems to be the logical result of the addictive behaviors that many of us have consciously and unconsciously bought into. Whether it is sugar, salt, nicotine or stress, the manifestations have ranged from ADHD to diabetes, cancer to any number of immune disorders.
I think that having become a living host for the HIV retrovirus has been a wonderful opportunity to gain the kind of experience that can serve myself, my family, and my community! I know that sounds radical, but if all of us who have been "chosen" to have this learning experience uses it as a blessing, we will then be living in the spirit, and that is where we need to be in order to heal the humans we are being.
So when they ask me how I have attained my freedom from the chains of addiction to all of those things that were killing my body, I always have to begin with my surrender to a higher power. It is evident from my experience, and the experiences of millions, that healing the spirit is the most effective way to heal the body.
I know it may seem counterintuitive to the uninitiated, but faith, by definition, is believing in things unseen. As Daddy Rich said in the movie "Carwash" – "you gotta believe in something…why not believe in me". Seriously though, try finding a way to tap into the spirit within if you want to heal the body.
Yes, we will discuss actual healing solutions in this blog, like the benefits of drinking lots of water, or the need to be less acidic. When we do share these thoughts and ideas it will be as much a reminder for me as it is possibly helpful for you. No matter what we talk about as it pertains to healing, I have to always remember that it begins in the spiritual realm. After all, we are truly spiritual beings having a human experience.

As some of you know, despite undertaking this venture together for nearly a year, Trip and I have never actually met. Kindred spirits, we're bound by common interests – rock and roll, college hoops, our families – despite being separated by half a continent and half a generation. Still, I feel like I've known him forever, and as this day approached, I thought hard about how to best commemorate it.
There's a moment in High Fidelity when Rob, looking for purpose after his break-up with Laura, decides to arrange his albums autobiographically, in the order in which he bought them. "I pull the records off the shelf, put them in piles all over the sitting room floor," he says, "look for Revolver, and go from there; and when I'm finished, I'm flushed with a sense of self, because this, after all, is who I am." I have endeavored to do something similar for Trip, who, despite a far greater domestic contentment than Rob, has found deep meaning in the soundtrack of his life.
What I've come up with is 100 songs spanning 50 years. One song from 1957, the year of Trip's birth, one from 2007, and two from each year in between, arranged chronologically. No artist appears more than once, and that includes artists in different incarnations. Uncle Tupelo isn't here because Wilco and Son Volt are, and Rod Stewart's presence ensures The Faces' absence. The hope is to account for as broad a range of expression as possible in the limited space allowed.
The goal also is to reflect Trip's sensibilities as accurately as possible, without respect to any historical rock orthodoxy. That's why Badfinger's "No Matter What" made the cut for 1970, and Van Morrison's "Into the Mystic" did not (Van was but one of many regrettable casualties; earlier this week, and too late for inclusion, I learned the special place David Bowie's "Moonage Daydream" holds for Trip). Still, if anything, the songs cling too close to consensus. There are not nearly enough of the sorts of bubble-gummy one-hitters that he so notoriously loves.
Trip is already intimately familiar with most of the music here. Any effort to capture the man without "In My Life" or something from Every Picture Tells a Story, Late For the Sky or My Aim Is True would fail. So the obvious choices are here, and from about 1965 to 1986 or so, I think I've pretty much nailed him cold. But I've taken a certain artistic license with some of the rest, in those years in which I'm not so certain, and have given my best interpretation of the man. Does he love "This Song" by Ron Sexsmith? I don't know, we haven't talked about it; I'm not even sure he knows the tune. But it seems like one that he'd love, and I'm willing to wager he does.
Tomorrow morning, I'll catch a flight to Philadelphia, where I will present the collection to Trip in person. And after catching sets by Bob Mould, Cracker, Fountains of Wayne and the Fratellis, we'll make our way to a watering hole, where we will hoist a pint or two to birthdays and friendship, and perhaps to Craig Finn and Feargal Sharkey. And when the next round comes, we'll hoist one to you in thanks for sharing this space with us.
(Special thanks to our friends Mary Z. and Lou P. for their input on song selection, and to Lou for the ridiculously fantastic cover designs)

We all wore shalwar kameezes yesterday to join the school celebration of Pakistan Day. This was both a fun and a sad day for me. The Pakistan Day fair at school has always been my favorite school activity, so I became a little sentimental towards the end when I realized this was our last opportunity to celebrate it.
It was hard to say if there were more or better items on sale at the mela, but I was pleased to see some familiar faces among the vendors. I've been looking forward to this day, more so than the previous years, because I wanted to get a few more souvenirs of Pakistan before we leave the country for good in June. But James had to be entertained first. We picked a basketball, cricket ball, and cricket hat for him. Well, I made an executive decision on the hat, because James hates hats. I also got him a balloon and quickly pushed the stroller away in the opposite direction while he kept gesturing and making uh-uh noises at more balls and balloons.
We made our way to his dad's music room, and right outside were the camels, ox cart, and horse cart for children to ride on. That got his attention. Brian finally showed up, munching a paratha roll. We decided to go to the cafeteria so James could have his favorite chapati. Then while Brian looked after James, I did my rounds with the vendors and bought some kurtas, pashmina scarves, bangles, rugs, etc. And of course I didn't have enough cash. But one vendor graciously told me to just come by his shop whenever I could to pay. And still I didn't have enough to buy a piece of truck art to add to my collection. Unfortunately the guy doesn't have a shop in Islamabad either. I was disappointed, while Brian's reaction can only be described as relieved.
The highlight of the day was of course the assembly program. I was so proud and happy for Brian when the All-Girls Choir sand the Pakistan national anthem acapella and in 3-part harmony. They sang so beautifully, and with just a few hours of practice. It has always been Brian's goal for years to have his choir perform the national anthem. Now we're thinking about recording it so it can be played over and over again.
The school hired a coordinator to handle everything, and he brought dancers and musicians to perform traditional dances. I was also looking forward to the Khattak dance, which is a military dance performed with swords. There were also impressive performances by Punjabi dancers and musicians.

There is widespread agreement on the value of renewable energy development: renewable energy reduces greenhouse gas emissions, decreases the country's reliance on fossil fuel reserves, (1) and combats our dependence on the energy resources of hostile nations. (2) Despite the importance of renewable energy development, however, the federal government has not mandated this development. (3) Although the federal government has taken some steps to encourage renewable energy developers, including loan programs and expedited permit review for renewable energy projects, (4) the task has largely fallen on state governments to ensure that renewable energy development actually takes place. (5) Thus, the states have served as "laboratories" for testing various policy mechanisms in pursuit of protecting the environment. (6) Perhaps the most popular of these policy mechanisms is the renewable portfolio standard (RPS), (7) which requires that a certain fraction of total installed capacity or total generation come from renewable technologies. (8) Indeed, thirty states and the District of Columbia had adopted an RPS by 2012. (9)
Although RPSs have become a popular policy tool to encourage renewable energy development, many have questioned the validity of state renewable energy mandates under the dormant Commerce Clause. …

text: One of the sad truths of life is that people forget. How many times have you met someone and then an hour later you can't remember that person's name. Or you read something and later you just don't remember what you have just read. This is a fact that everyone has to acknowledge. People can forget what you say and show them. However there is one truth for all audiences: people never forget how you made them feel. If you have the choice between telling an audience facts versus telling an emotional story, the story is always better. In a story, you change how people feel and at the same time you can make a point. Learn to tell a story, a great story. Make audiences remember how they feel when they left your presentation. They may not remember your name but they will remember how you made them feel.

Dating online net service
A great diversity of online dating services currently exists.
Some have a broad membership base of diverse users looking for many different types of relationships.
The two decided to meet "IRL" (in real life) days later. Traditionally known for reviewing products like household cleaners and washers and dryers, Consumer Reports surveyed nearly 10,000 subscribers in the fall of 2016 about online dating and then rated matchmaking sites based on their overall satisfaction.
Months after their first date, the couple discovered they had been classmates in preschool, and one year into their relationship Justin arranged to have the young students from their former school hold up signs that asked, "Will you marry me?

These were taken during the descent of 富士山.
Whilst I was hoping for clear skies, the clouds really made the view for me.
I think that these are really mysterious shots, due to how the clouds are only letting a small bit of land through, whilst obscuring everything else.
I've included the last one here as the others don't quite show just how big everything was.
I think it does a good job of that.
The monochrome photo was my twenty-eighth submission for Leanne Cole's "Monochrome Madness".
I hope you enjoy.

23) Do you rent movies often?
**I used to.**
24) Is there anything sparkly in the room you're in?

That's gonna be it for this evening. Tomorrow, I'll finish the other 30 questions.

Dinner at Kiyomi, The Star Gold Coast
Image 1 of 11
Inside The Star Casino you'll find Kiyomi, a hatted restaurant making some of Queensland's best Japanese food. Slivers of kingfish, toro and salmon sushi are perfect to whet your appetite but those who dine choose one of the set menus will be rewarded with izakaya-style small plates such as robata-grilled pork and tender cuts of Wagyu beef with an eel and kombu jus.
Week-long detox at Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat
Image 2 of 11
Treat yourself to some serious R and R by indulging in a seven-day detox at the wellness-focused Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat. Based in the Gold Coast's leafy hinterland, which means the property has incredible sweeping views of bush to ocean, the detox rests and renews the body. Organic meals are on offer, as well as massages, facials, wellness seminars and access to all of Gwinganna's facilities and scheduled activities, including morning meditation and daily hikes.
Three-hour beauty retreat at Aurora Spa, Palazzo Versace
Image 3 of 11
Don't have a week to spare? It's still possible to pamper yourself and relax at Aurora Spa. The Tranquil Beauty three-hour beauty retreat covers all the indulgent essentials: a muscle-releasing massage, a nourishing facial and a manicure or pedicure. Aurora recommends hydrating drinks post-treatment so if you head to Vanitas, the on-site fine-dining restaurant and bar, afterwards, opt for a virgin cocktail rather than a Negroni.
Stay at Palazzo Versace
Image 4 of 11
Palazzo Versace's lobby gives an opulent glimpse into what to expect during a stay at the fashion-inspired waterfront hotel. Columns crowned with gold rise to the vaulted ceiling, the floor is an intricate mosaic of tiles and a glittering chandelier presides over the space. The hotel boasts spectacular architecture, three award-winning restaurants, Versace-designed furnishings, a day spa and, of course, a Versace boutique.
Shopping at Harrolds, Pacific Fair
Image 5 of 11
The Gold Coast is a renowned luxury shopping destination and the Harrolds store in the recently refurbished Pacific Fair shopping centre offers fashions from the best design houses in the world under one roof. Pick up a striking Tom Ford Natalia bag, Manolo Blahnik heels or delicate Sarah & Sebastian jewellery to complete a dinner outfit for the evening or go for a bespoke tailoring experience with a made-to-measure suit from Harrolds Private Label.
Sunrise hot air balloon ride over Gold Coast hinterland
Image 6 of 11
Watching the sun rise over the Gold Coast's hinterland from a hot air balloon is the ultimate way to start your morning and truly appreciate how beautiful this part of the world is. Glide over a patchwork of rainforest and farmland to O'Reilly's Vineyard where a three-course breakfast awaits. Follow your meal with a visit to the vineyard's cellar door before being chauffeured back to your hotel.
Scenic flight with Cloud 9 Seaplanes
Image 7 of 11
For a getaway that's farther afield, board a seaplane to South Stradbroke Island, around 40 kilometres from Surfers Paradise. The western beaches are your destination for quiet lagoons ripe for swimming while those on the eastern side are ideal for surfers and bodyboarders. The flight back follows Queensland's coast, over Moreton Bay.
Cocktails at Cherry, The Star Gold Coast
Image 8 of 11
The interiors at Cherry are all about indulgent excess; from the VIP booths lined with velvet to the rich cognac leather touches on the 22-metre-long bar. Order a tropical cocktail – the Chi Chi mixes vodka, fresh mango, and coconut – and slide into a booth for an intimate date. DJs spin until late on Friday and Saturday nights.
Lunch at The Fish House
Image 9 of 11
For a quintessentially Gold Coast experience, have lunch at The Fish House. Though the impressive water views beg for your attention, the real star at this hatted restaurant is the seafood-heavy menu. For a simple pleasure, the crumbed John Dory with thick-cut chips and a dill pickle is a constant crowd-pleaser, while the tender whole fish (which could include King George whiting, coral trout or Balmain bugs) is a showstopper. The wine list is extensive so dine with friends to sample it properly.
Image 10 of 11
Harrolds is home to some of Australia's most talented designers as well as the finest design houses from around the world. From Tom Ford to Saint Laurent, Emilio Pucci to Kenzo, Harrolds' luxury department stores in Melbourne, Sydney and Pacific Fair on the Gold Coast offer a tailor-made shopping experience for fashion lovers with discerning taste.

Here it is, pushing midway through the Autumn of Lace season, and I've all but given up on knitting lace. Irtfa'a will come out to play tonight, but since last week, I've knit no holes at all.
I have made progress on the Wolf Hoodie...
It looks like I'm about four rows from starting the under arm shaping. Sigh. I had so hoped that there would be a row or two when I had one strand of yarn that actually went from zipper band to zipper band. Oh well, I guess it wouldn't be this sweater without at least three strands of yarn going at any given time.
I've also been working on these socks.
They're going slowly (but not THIS slowly... I'm well down the foot now). It finally dawned on me that my slow progress may be because they're not for me after all. All this time I'd been thinking of them as being headed for my sock drawer. The last time this happened, the socks were indeed destined for other feet. I showed this pair to a dear friend today -- one to whom I gave a pair of socks a while that he never gets to wear because his wife stole them from him. He thinks this pair is amazing, and is in now way put off by the pink. They may be his.
But more interesting, perhaps, is what happened last night.
I suddenly started knitting fingers. Well, almost fingers. Tipless fingers ...
The mitts to which these will be attached will have some fingers with actual tips on them (the pinkies and the ring fingers), but the thumbs and pointer fingers and middle fingers will need to be tipless. You see, these hese babies are intended to allow the recipient to have moderately warm hands this winter while still being able to use her iPhone. Those touch screens tend to ignore gloved fingers entirely. I may have to re-knit one pinky (I seem to have made a tipless pinky), but first I'm going to connect two tipped fingers and two tipless ones and a thumb (along with some other knitting) to form the first mitt.
These are such fun! The fingers are turning.. well... pretty random. The body of the mitt will be a brioche stitch -- we want WARM hands without wool. (The donee is allergic).
Off to make more fingers....dont' you wish you could play?

How can we stay sharp? Keep current with the young and the old.
Tonight I had a nice dinner with three lovely ladies. They are certainly older than me, but I don't want to call them 'the old' because I felt like I was with three older sisters. I felt lucky to get to hear about their stories and be a part of their moment. I observed what they chose to talk about, how they carried their conversations, and how they responded to each other.
I really appreciate the old school way of mannerism. I like the way people used to communicate. Talking to them and listening to them this evening has been a treat to me.
Lucky to have a chance to learn, grow and better myself.
Love the koi fish windsock there. What a nice touch.
Along with the cherry blossom tree.
Really dig this small little moment like this.
Life is an art.

"Privacy" has been a hot topic these days. The lawsuit between the FBI and Apple, referring to the iPhone 5C used by the terrorist that attacked in San Bernardino, has started a huge debate on privacy and security. Many of the biggest technology related companies in the world, supported Apple in the privacy issue. Google and Facebook are probably 2 of the bigger names among many other companies.
Whatsapp is a very popular messaging application in many countries in Europe. In Spain for example, we use the word "whatsapp" as a verb. The same way as "text me", people would say "whatsapp me". The fact that many people use a company's name as a verb implies how popular and important this messaging service is between European people.
(Similar thing happens here in the US with VENMO or GOOGLE) "Hey, venmo me the money when you can please!", "I'm not sure about that, let me Google real quick".
A couple of days ago pop up messages were appearing in some of my conversations in this messaging app. Claiming that now whatsapp had end-to-end encryption.
What is end-to-end encryption?
End to end encryption means that when you click the button "send". Your message will encrypt at the moment it's out of your phone. Then it will get to whatsapp's servers and remain encrypted, then sent to the destination phone. The only two people that will be able to read that message are the "sender" and the "receptor".
The key to decrypt the messages is now stored in each device and not in the servers as it used to be. Not even whatsapp can access to this messages anymore.
The main difference between end-to-end encryption and partial encryption is that in partial encryption, the message will get decrypted once it gets to the servers, stored, and then encrypted again to be sent to the receptor's phone. All text messages, file transfers and voice calls are scrambled en route between users' phones so they can't be intercepted.
Whatsapp have been involved in several cases of privacy problems. But in this last update, they made sure that the encryption in the messaging was done right. Whatsapp has been working with a company called Open Whisper Systems, a well-known company that created products like "Redphone" or "signal", or "textsecure".
In other words, now the only people capable to read this bunch of encrypted bits (0 & 1) are the people implied; sender and receiver (or receivers).
The fact that such a huge service used over a billion users is getting end to end encryption is a game changer.
Companies want to defend their values and their customers (therefore the main source of revenue). Even a big brand like Apple is sensitive to a crisis that strikes one of their main products. Even Amnesty International, where I did an internship last year, called WhatsApp's move a "huge victory" for free speech. Is it a matter of national security vs. personal privacy?
Security can't be an excuse for governments to control all communications and monitor the people. The Apple case will be the precedent and now the companies, as for example Whatsapp, are moving towards a better privacy for their customers, denying the possibility to create backdoors. Which company is going to be next?
The Pixel Shark.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard's (D-Hawaii) new chief of staff -- a business owner with no government experience -- is raising eyebrows in the state.
Gabbard's announcement on Tuesday that she had named Kainoa Ramananda Penaroza, 30, to the influential job "baffles political insiders" because of Penaroza's thin political resume, wrote local political news site Honolulu Civil Beat.
Penaroza has no government experience and his political exposure has been limited to volunteer and coordinator work on Gabbard's campaigns.
Gabbard's office said in a statement that Penaroza "brings to the office a unique, down-to-earth, and results-driven style of leadership."
For the past five years, Penaroza has been a sales manager for his family's health-food business. He also owns an eco-friendly clothing company that provides products to Whole Foods.
According to Civil Beat, "The news of Penaroza's appointment was met with varying sense of amusement, surprise and disbelief by Hawaii's political insiders -- including staffers among Hawaii's congressional delegation -- but most of them were not willing to speak on the record."
Local news channel Hawaii News Now reports that Gabbard, 33, and Penaroza have known each other for more than 20 years.
In a statement, Gabbard said: "I've known Kainoa for many years. I've found him to be dependable, energetic, and smart. Most importantly, he shares my love for Hawaii, and my enthusiasm to be of service to the people of Hawaii and our nation."
While Gabbard is frequently referred to as a "rising star" in the Democratic party, she has made waves for her frequent appearances on Fox News and her criticisms of President Barack Obama for his refusal to use the term "Islamic extremism."
Hawaii News Now notes that Gabbard has "appeared in at least eight live interviews on CNN, FOX and MSNBC networks this month so far."
The national publicity doesn't always sit well with constituents in Hawaii, and Gabbard's newest staff member is causing further unease.
"The way to really be an important member of Congress is grinding out the details and the stuff that Sen. [Dan] Inouye used to do," Colin Moore, a University of Hawaii political science professor, told Hawaii News Now. "And to do that, you need a staff member who really has a lot of experience at working in this institution."
Penaroza is the third person to hold the position of chief of staff in the two years Gabbard has represented Hawaii's 2nd Congressional District. Jessica Vanden Berg, Penaroza's predecessor, left shortly before the 2014 election.

First, let me say I'm not pregnant! HA! Actually, I've been taking great joy in donating Eli's baby equipment/clothes/toys the second he outgrows them. I dropped off our two infant carseats today and it felt G.O.O.D! Although, I do have to admit that I did have to resist the urge to go back and take a picture of them. They have been with us for so long, well 4 years anyway, but it seems like a long time. I selectively ignored the new recommendations regarding car seats...what news report? My brother David gave us the car seats when Luke was born (he has twins, hence the two seats) so those seats have seen a lot of little behinds! Does some small part of me want to try for a girl? Yes, the thought of having a girl is thrilling to me but the REALITY of having another baby is more than I can handle. And, I would probably end up with another boy anyway and I'm all out of boy names. On that topic, spring break turned out to be a really great experience. The boys and I stayed home for most of the week and I learned something important. While I love my job and I'm so very thankful for it, the most difficult part of this year and my return to work has been this feeling that I don't get to spend enough time with Eli. He's so easygoing that he often plays and plays while I'm taking care of the other boys and household chores. But, spring break showed me that it's not the fact that I'm working that takes so much of my time from Eli, it's the fact that there are three of them now. Somehow, adding one more little person has increased the work around here exponentially. So, instead of sitting down to play with the boys once they are all playing peacefully, I'm off to squeeze in loading the dishwasher or clearing off the kitchen counter that seems perpetually cluttered. It was good for me to see that even when I'm home with them all day, everyday, I still have the feeling that I don't get to spend much time with Eli. In a weird way, it made me feel better. Now, when I become independently wealthy and hire a maid...
Anyway, on to my news. It's official now! I was offered the assistant professor of educational research position at Texas Wesleyan and took it! So, the "visiting" part of my title will be dropped and I'll be tenure track. And, I will get one year of credit toward tenure for this year! So very excited and so glad to get that off my back! This year has been like a year long interview! The most amazing part of the process is this: Last semester I was walking around campus and just talking to God and telling Him, Lord, I really don't want to go through an all day on campus interview. I just need them to give me the job. And do you know what? That's just what happened! It's almost unheard of but that is what happened. They did not even bring anyone else in to interview so I did not have to compete against anyone in an on campus interview. I went through one 30 minute phone interview and that's it! It's a real miracle for me and I'm so thankful!
What does that mean for our family? Well, we are making plans to move west. The 'when' is still unknown. We have been looking in the Keller area. The older I get the more I realize wisdom is the most important component of a successful life. With wisdom comes insight and knowledge about not only what to do but when to do it and the patience to wait until the right time.
So, while I'm spilling my guts on this blog which is really strange in and of itself, I'll go ahead and share another epiphany I've had recently. I mean, I write blog posts in my head all the time but never put them down on paper. But, something occurred to me not too long ago. For a long time I prayed and wondered what my role is in the Body of Christ. In a way I kept waiting to get involved until I "found out" what IT is that I'm supposed to do. But then one day it occurred to me that the IT happens every day. I should not wait to get in THE position before I can be useful. I mean, I get asked all the time, how do I manage 3 little boys, working, remain calm (HA, if they could see me at 8:30 every morning!)...? The answer is always easy and an open door for me to share with them, I could not do it without God. There it is, a role for me. Maybe one day I will have an official "ministry" role but until then, I'll embrace this one.

Scott Hallsworth's Freak Scene
What? Scott Hallsworth, the Australian chef behind Kurobuta and author of Junk Food Japan, has embarked on a new project, waving goodbye (for now) to the formalities of running a restaurant in favour of a three-month, one-man-band (two if you include his partner who runs front-of-house) pop-up in Farringdon.
New? Freak Scene opened back in July and was only ever intended to stick around short-term. Saying that, Kurobuta started life in a similarly temporary guise before becoming permanent so you never know, Freak Scene could be here to stay.
Where? 91 Cowcross Street, Farringdon, EC1M 6BH, www.scotthallsworth.com
On the Menu: For a venue titled 'Freak Scene' and the author of 'Junk Food Japan', the menu is suitably Asian, with a hint of rock 'n' roll. Dishes are designed for sharing (good bonding for a date) and come in familiar appetiser, starter and more substantial form, as the menu descends. Think flavours of rich miso, tangy citrus and the odd unexpected twist in every dish.
The Look: The interior is minimal, giving the impression that they set up shop pretty quickly, after a quick trip to Ikea. Diners perch on low stools, with a lucky few at the window or at the bar – a position to request if you want to see the chef in action – whilst tea lights on each table add ambience.
What We Ate: We dived straight in with a selection of dishes from the menu, but our enthusiasm was thankfully met with a little more restraint from the kitchen as the plates arrived one at a time, in an acceptably chronological order. Chilli crab and avocado wonton bombs kicked things off as they meant to go on, with miso-grilled black cod tacos an early highlight. Everything is made by Scott and if you glance through to the kitchen at any given moment you'll see him tossing/mixing/grilling every one of his innovative creations himself.
Cubes of miso-grilled aubergine were so tender and well marinated they could almost have been mistaken for fish, whilst grilled pork belly served in lettuce 'wraps' was paired with unsuspecting mussels – the dish captured every flavour you would hope of Asian food; it was spicy, tangy and fresh with every bite.
The real highlight was the wonderfully named 'chicken-fried chicken', proving that no matter how delicious the dish in question, it is the power of words that captures our attention. A rich, almost sticky soy sauce was packed full of peanuts, and it wasn't long before we were mopping up every last mouthful with the 'chicken-fried chicken' itself.
Though we no doubt could have stopped at this point, food envy courtesy of the next table meant we couldn't leave without trying the duck red curry. Served on the bone, the meat practically flaked off without assistance, bathing in the perfectly-flavoured curry sauce below. Lychees added a touch of sweetness, whilst fresh chillies quickly took it away. A wonderful end to a very indulgent and innovative meal.
What We Drank: Freak Scene is a license-free zone, so nip to the nearby bottle shop or bring whatever you fancy from home. They do offer a strong selection of soft drinks – everything from Karma Cola (the does-good, tastes-better cola variety we should all be drinking) to iced tea.
Go With: The space is pretty cosy, so leave the friends at home and take one special guest.
Final Word: Scott Hallsworth proves that the prefect ingredients for a great meal out are really only creativity, a humble kitchen and hungry, inquisitive diners. Visit before its run is up (mid-October) to let them know you want Freak Scene to stick around.
Freak Scene: 91 Cowcross Street, Farringdon, EC1M 6BH

First of all I have to tell you that we only spent about a day in the city. We were on a ruthless time limit and had spent the morning driving through London (something I can never say no to) so by the time we arrived in Birmingham it was late afternoon. Still, it was great to have the last hours of sunshine left to walk around and get a first glimpse of this vibrant city.
According to the travel handbook who put the city on that list, 2015 is the ideal time to make a trip to Birmingham and I'm glad I did - even though I didn't know I was following their advice at the time. The city just feels very young and creative with hyper modern buildings being put right in front of century old churches. Somehow it works and it gives the area a very unique feel.

McDonald's doesn't have anything on the Ladies Guild of Magothy Chelsea Community Lutheran Church -- even if both are serving up quarter-pounders.
The church women's quarter-pounders are chocolate-covered Easter eggs, and they deliver.
About 10 guild members will be mixing friendship with rich ingredients Thursday and Friday in the basement of the church in Pasadena's Magothy Beach community, producing this year's fund-raising eggs.
They will be continuing a tradition almost four decades old. Since 1959, the women have sold their Easter eggs to a faithful cadre of regular buyers as well as new customers, and they give the profits to the church for renovation projects.

Product Info
In the year 1658 world renowned Professor Franz de la Boë gently infused a clear grain spirit with hand picked juniper berries while painstakingly searching for a medicinal tonic. Franz de la Boë invented the worlds first GIN!
Boë Superior Gin is lovingly created in small batches under the watchful eye of the Master Distiller, where 13 rare hand picked botanicals and spices are infused in the finest neutral grain spirit, liberating the full flavours of triple filtered Boë Superior Gin, creating a high class gin, characteristically citrus with extraordinary balance and smoothness.
Boë Superior Gin is cut exactly to 47% alc vol with crystal clear water from the tranquil glens of ancient Scotland. To produce a gin with perfect flavour and lasting character, in keeping with the pioneering spirit of Franz de la Boë born 1614 to 1672. His SPIRIT lives on!
Finely balanced botanicals
The subtleties of Boë Superior Gin are all in the selection and preparation of its botanicals – that fine balance of herbs and spices so crucial to its distinctive taste and quality.
Juniper berries and their flavoursome oils are at the heart of the distillation, but it takes many more elements to make Boë special. There's the aromatic Coriander and Angelica. We include Ginger, Orris Root and Cassia Bark – or Chinese cinnamon as it's sometimes known, one of the oldest of all spices. Warmth and flavour come from the Grains of Paradise. Orange and Lemon peel are there too delivering a hint of citrus, together with Cardamom Seeds, Liquorice, Almonds and the peppery tones of the Cubeb Berry.
And the taste? Clean, spiced and strikingly refreshing

Dupe Quotes (displaying: 1 - 10 of 38 quotes )
The bonds between ourselves and another person exists only in our minds. Memory as it grows fainter loosens them, and notwithstanding the illusion by which we want to be duped and which, out of love, friendship, politeness, deference, duty, we dupe other people, we exist alone. Man is the creature who cannot escape from himself, who knows other people only in himself, and when he asserts the contrary, he is lying.
That public men publish falsehoods Is nothing new. That America must accept Like the historical republics corruption and empire Has been known for years. Be angry at the sun for setting If these things anger you. Watch the wheel slope and tum. They are all bound on the wheel, these people, those warriors, This republic, Europe, Asia. Observe them gesticulating, Observe them going down. The gang serves lies, the passionate Man plays his part; the cold passion for truth Hunts in no pack. You are not Catul. Ius, you know, To lampoon these crude sketches of Caesar. You are far From Dante's feet, but even farther from his dirty Political hatred. S. Let boys want pleasure, and men Struggle for power, and women perhaps for fame, And the servile to serve a Leader and the dupes to be duped. Yours is not theirs.
In private life do we not see hypocrisy, servility, selfishness, folly, and impudence succeed, while modesty shrinks from the encounter, and merit is trodden under foot? How often is 'the rose plucked from the forehead of a virtuous love to plant a blister there!' What chance is there of the success of real passion? What certainty of its continuance? Seeing all this as I do, and unravelling the web of human life into its various threads of meanness, spite, cowardice, want of feeling, and want of understanding, of indifference towards others, and ignorance of ourselves,? seeing custom prevail over all excellence, itself giving way to infamy? mistaken as I have been in my public and private hopes, calculating others from myself, and calculating wrong; always disappointed where I placed most reliance; the dupe of friendship, and the fool of love;? have I not reason to hate and to despise myself? Indeed I do; and chiefly for not having hated and despised the world enough.
This kind of thing doesn't seem to bother most people. Given the chance, people are surprisingly frank when they talk about themselves. "I'm honest and open to a ridiculous degree," they'll say, or "I'm thin-skinned and not the type who gets along easily in the world." Or "I am very good at sensing others' true feelings." But any number of times I've seen people who say they're easily hurt hurt other people for no apparent reason. Self-styled honest and open people, without realizing what they're doing, blithely use some self-serving excuse to get what they want. And those "good at sensing others' true feelings" are duped by the most transparent flattery. It's enough to make me ask the question: How well do we really know ourselves?
I apprehend no danger to our country from a foreign foe . . . Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger. I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing. Make them intelligent, and they will be vigilant; give them the means of detecting the wrong, and they will apply the remedy.
There is no nation on earth powerful enough to accomplish our overthrow. Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence. I must confess that I do apprehend some danger. I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing.
Extraordinarily excessive sensuality it may be .. but it all comes down to the same thing in the end, and one means is surely as good as another, since the end obtained is always the same. In any case the exceptional, endlessly repeated, is no different than the banal; and unceasing recapitulation can add nothing, in the end, to the sum of experience. I am weary and hopeless three times the dupe. Why have you trained me in the shame of abominable sins?

When looking for a meal in Grabill, a taco stand probably isn't what you'd expect to find. But sure enough, on the corner of Main and Second Street sits a hidden gem. This is Isabel's Tacos, an establishment owned by the Valdes family, serving up fresh Mexican cuisine. And the reason for setting up shop in Grabill?
"Because there's like no Mexican restaurant here, so they wanted to make one, but authentic," says Angela Valdes, translating for Isabel Valdes.
The stand has been in operation for three years, but it's not always sitting in Grabill. You can sometimes find it in Leo Park, or in downtown Fort Wayne for certain events. The menu contains all your favorite Mexican fare. There is also some expansion coming to Isabel's Tacos. Construction is underway for a permanent building on the same corner in Grabill, and it should be ready to open in November. The family already knows what they want to name it.
"Just the same one," says Angela. "Isabel's Tacos."

Yep, all that lovely snow filled the dam. YAY.
However it has also resulted in some really boggy patches of land which is great in one way as I now know where the best land for Manuka lies which is very nice. However, what is good for Manuka is not so good for a hefty little tractor.
We should have seen it coming! Just look at all that mud, even the dogs are over-excited.
I'm not sure that is helping! I'll just stand here with the camera……
Yes, dad definitely needs help!
Well after a good three hours of pushing, pulling and swearing the tractor was driven out of the bog by Meg.
There's one way to spend a Sunday afternoon 🙂

The other day when I had my protein shake with chia seeds I couldn't get to sleep till 1am!! So I switched things up and have my chia seed protein shake in the morning. This keeps me SO full that it's easy to not snack all day. I have no desire what so ever. Till my late afternoon juice.
Tonight I made us lettuce wraps. These are SOOOO fantastic and fairly healthy
First: brown ground turkey (I used 2lbs) in olive oil and a tiny sesame oil. Once cooked, set aside
Next: stir fry onion, chopped shitake mushrooms, chopped water chesnuts, garlic and ginger in a mixture 2 TB of brown sugar, 2TB of soy sauce, 2 TB of rice wine vinegar, red chili flakes. Add ground turkey back in once veggies have cooked down.
Serve with bean sprouts and dipping sauce:
Dissolve 1/4c sugar in 1/2 c water Then stir in:
- 2 TB soy sauce
- 2TB rice wine vinegar
- 2TB ketchup
- 1TB lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- chili flakes to taste
- 1TB corn starch to thicken
It sounds complicated, but it's pretty easy, and DELICIOUS!!!
Tonight I'm going to church. It's been a couple weeks since I've been so i'm looking forward to it. Grandad made it to Cali today!!! YAY! Here is a pic of him and my Mom in law! So happy for them. And here is a Mack Brown pic just because.
