Penguin on the High Seas
* A link to my cruise photos follows.
I've been going around for a while saying it's been about 3 years since my last cruise. It was my first time to cruise. I had found a nice 5 day trip from San Juan, so I went out a few days early to stay with a friend of mine who owns a bed and breakfast a short drive from there. I loved it so much; it has made me a true fan of setting sail on a large boat over the oceans of our planet. Imagine my surprise at learning that it was 4 years, almost to the date, and not three, since that Eastern Caribbean cruise. It's no wonder I've been drooling over cruise ships and talking to my friends about going for over a year now.
So I finally put my foot down and decided that I was going to go again, even if I had to do so on my own. I went on my first cruise by myself, but on the first night I ran into a co-worker and her friend, and I had company the whole week. My biggest hurdle in cruising is finding someone to go with; either friends have the time and no money, or the money and no time.
I had the time off. I had a special cruise savings account with plenty of money to cover the low deals I was getting for working in the travel industry, and to cover the other fees needed to cruise; tips, taxes transportation and souvenirs. And almost at the last minute, I found a friend to go with me. Finally, after four long years, I would be sailing again.
So at two weeks out I booked an 8-day, 7-night cruise from Miami on Carnival. I spent the next two weeks going out of my mind in anticipation. I spent hours each day researching the ship and reviews from past travelers. I looked through people's photo albums and viewed videos from Youtube. I found sample menus, looked at excursions and discussed various topics on several forums. When I actually walked on the ship in person, I felt like I'd been there before!
With my bags packed my journey started the day before our ship set sail. It would do so at 4pm on the last Saturday in February and I wanted to make sure I would be on it and not stuck in some airport with winter delays. I had found a nice hotel near the airport that offered free transportation when I arrived, and that also had a free shuttle to the port the next day. Several hotels offered such a shuttle, but the main reason I chose this particular hotel was because their port shuttle left before the others, and I was in such a hurry to get on board…
My friend, Loren, had travel credits on another airline so he flew in a few hours after I did. And since that airline didn't fly into Miami, he had to fly into Ft. Lauderdale and take a van. We were so excited when he did arrive. It was like the vacation was finally a reality; our trip was finally going to begin!
We got little sleep that night from all of our anticipation. But we were up early for our complimentary breakfast and to be in line for the shuttle. The mood for the cruise was set on the van to the port from our hotel. There were several ships docked so the van had a few stops to make. The first ship had only 2 people getting off, a couple in their 60s. The husband started towards the door of the van but had left a bag behind so his wife began calling his name. Not hearing her, he continued towards the front when she finally shouted, "Hey, dumb-ass!" Not only did it get his attention, but every married man in the van turned his head!
We arrived at the port by 1130 and boarded the Carnival Liberty around 1230. It seems fast, to think we got through security and check-in in just an hour. But it seemed like it was taking forever! Unable to get into our rooms for another hour, we headed upstairs to the fish and chips restaurant and got lunch.
There were so many options for lunch on our ship. There was a burrito bar, a deli, a pizzeria that was open 24 hours, the fish and chips counter, the huge buffet, a grill for burgers, dogs, chicken strips and nachos and even free room service. It was like a challenge to see if one could experience all aspects of culinary delights that they offered on board! I did try them all but one. I never did eat lunch in the main buffet line. The burritos were great, and even included shrimp as a choice. Their fried oysters were so good that I had them at least 3 times that week. The pizza was OK, not as good as on my last voyage, but that was an Italian cruise line, so the bar was set very high. The burgers were decent and I loved the deli sandwiches.
I think what I love most about being on a cruise is the treatment I receive. It's as if being treated like royalty. My stateroom is made up while I'm at breakfast and again at dinner, when they turn my bed down. On Carnival, we are welcomed in the evenings by elaborate towel sculptures on our bed, and chocolates. You are always entertained and constantly fed. Drinks are a little expensive, but I did very little of that on my trip; doctor's orders.
The best part is dinner. I enjoy dressing up a bit in nice slacks and shirts and having a formal meal with linens and 4 courses and attentive service. The meals on board were very good. Some nights I found myself commenting that I've had better, but it certainly wasn't bad. On lobster night, I ate 2. Most nights I couldn't decide on the appetizer, so I had 2, or even 3. It's also fun to try food I wouldn't normally try, since it wasn't costing me anything. And if I didn't like it, I could just order something else! The one thing I found most disappointing with our meals were the desserts, which mostly were bland. Only a few I found decent enough to finish, but I was fine with that- after the huge meals, who needed a big dessert? Plus, the soft ice cream machine flowed 24 hours.
We ate each night with 2 lovely women, Melinda and Pam. They were sisters and were so very nice. Loren and I both enjoyed getting to know them. We were at a table for 8, but most nights it was just the 4 of us. On our second night, we finally met Rick and Tom, two buddies cruising together. Rick was a character, who kept talking of his wife, yet he wore no ring and seemed to flirt endlessly. Tom was single, but very quiet. Both were fishermen who looked forward to some deep sea fishing on our first stop in Cozumel.
I was a little disappointed in the rain that began to fall just as the ship brought in her lines to set sail from Miami. People scurried below decks, but Loren and I stuck it out, eventually finding a covered area on deck 10. The rain didn't last long and we enjoyed the views leaving Miami for almost an hour before exploring the rest of the ship. That first night we sailed fast, going through a low pressure area with high winds and seas. All night the boat swayed up and down and from our room over the bow we often heard the ship slamming into waves with a hull-shaking thud and rattle of anything loose in the cabin. It was like slow motion turbulence on a plane, which I love. A few times it woke us up, once causing me to comment that it was like an earth quake! And when asked the next morning, about a third of those in the theater said they were experiencing some sea sickness. Fortunately, it never bothered me.
On day 2 at sea, we arrived in Cozumel as the sun was rising. I awoke in time to venture onto our balcony for photos. I had booked an interior stateroom, as I normally spend very little time in my room, so I have no need to spend the extra money on a view. However, we got an upgrade into a room with a picture window. It was over the bow, 2 levels below the bridge. It looked onto a large balcony, which very few people seemed to know about. It was almost like having our own private balcony! I spent a lot of time there, especially when we arrived at our various ports.
It was in Cozumel that Loren and I had our only official excursion. We had booked a tour to see the Mayan ruins of Tulum. We had to disembark at 0800, so we had secured a prearranged room service for breakfast and got some sandwiches as well to take as a snack on the tour. To get to Tulum, we rode a 45-minute ferry to the mainland, where we boarded a bus for our hour-long ride.
I was amazed at the beautiful clouds that morning when we arrived. Our tour guide was amazing. He was of Mayan ancestry, so was able to give us a very interesting account of their history, making sure to convey his belief that the Mayans disappeared because there were more people than what the land could support, so they abandoned their great cities and greedy rulers, leaving most everything behind.
The ruins were amazing and Manuel, our tour guide, explained their correlation to the sun and stars and the seasons. He showed us places on the ground where one can easily find pieces of pottery left over, but saying that it was bad luck to take any. There were numerous birds and iguanas and the sea breeze and ocean sounds were quite pleasant. I was glad to be visiting at a time when it's not too hot, as I hear that Tulum can get quite warm.
After the tour we had some time on our own to look around, and then Loren's agenda was to get a good Mexican taco. Manuel recommended a place so we returned to the bus area to give it a try. We both had a combination plate with a fish taco, a beef taco and a chicken quesadilla. All were very good and the margaritas were so strong that by the time I finished my 2nd one, I was a bit loopy. I slept almost the entire way back to Playa del Carmen for our return ferry.
We still had a lot of time and did some brief shopping before running into Tom and Rick, who were at a bar getting hammered. Tom showed off photos of the large mahi mahi that he had caught on their fishing trip and then we made our way back to the ship.
Loren and I were very much looking forward to snorkeling in Grand Cayman, our second stop. I had found a place within walking distance of our pier where there was a ship wreck over which we could snorkel. However, an early morning announcement informed us that due to strong winds and high seas in Georgetown, we were positioned in a different area of the island. Many tours were cancelled and we would not be able to snorkel over the Cali, due to the big waves. However, the area the ship was positioned was fairly calm. We took the tender to the island and asked about a place to snorkel. The lady told us of a public beach about a five minute walk. We set out for said beach and found it to be quaint, beautiful and a perfect location for snorkeling.
It wasn't the prettiest snorkeling I've done, and the waves were a little intense at times. But I accomplished what I had set out to do. That was to see turtles, sting rays and lobster. Not only did I see these, but I saw a cuddle fish and a neat-looking flounder. It's for times like these that I'm happy I have a waterproof camera and I even took some underwater video.
After getting out of the Caribbean waters, I found a nice shady spot to lounge in and met a family from San Diego. I took more photos of our ship, which was unable to actually anchor, due to the depth of the ocean, so it, and a few other ships, kept their positions by using their thrusters.
The following day we arrived in Ocho Rios, Jamaica as the sun was rising. It looked so colorful and inviting. But I found Ocho Rios to be a pain in the ass. Every three steps and we were accosted by someone new asking if we wanted a tour, if we wanted a taxi, if we wanted food or music, if we wanted ganja and I even was offered an 8-ball, which I think has something to do with cocaine.
I was more than happy to get back to the ship after our short little walk through town, where Loren picked up some Jamaican jerk for lunch. I was satisfied with the jerk I had at dinner the night before, so I ate on board, grabbing a tray of food and eating on a lounge chair on deck 10, which is where I spent most of my deck time on board, as it was shady there and I could keep out of the sun.
It was so nice to lounge on deck on our at-sea days. I'd take some reading, but it was often difficult to do much as I'm easily distracted by the people to watch. There were a lot of young people and people my age on board our cruise. There were also a lot of Canadians, escaping the winter. I loved meeting all the interesting people and hearing about their cruise experiences. I was also happy that Loren and I were content to be spending most of our days doing our own thing. It was the perfect balance of having a friend to go on excursions with and to enjoy the shows with, but being able to move freely and keep my own agenda on board. He loved playing bingo and I enjoyed the art auction and games, or going to high tea.
Each night we attended the shows in the large ornate theater. Most nights the shows were really good and offered song and dance numbers. One night we were entertained by a couple of guys who did comedy and juggling. The next morning at breakfast I actually heard someone use the term, "tomfoolery" in his review of that show! It was hilarious. On 2 nights there was a hypnotist. I've always been skeptical of these shows, not trusting that people are actually under. But I met a kid in the hot tub who said he really was looking for his belly button and couldn't explain why he wanted to belly dance – and try to take his clothes off while doing so. Maybe it was for real, after all. But then, the next night I met one of the guys who said he wasn't under and that he was just going along with it for the glory of being on stage.
Our cruise director was so energetic. His name was Butch and he appeared to be only in his thirties. He talked fast but often was quite humorous and ended most paragraphs by saying, "Ay?". He even had us repeating 'Ay' every time he said it. He was from Minnesota, as were a lot of the American guests.
My biggest disappointment with this ship was the smoking policy on board. I had been looking forward to spending time in the disco at nights and in the piano bar and doing some karaoke. But in each of these bars, and a few others, they allowed smoking! I went to the desk to inquire; do they allow smoking every night, or are there some non-smoking nights? Nope, every night. And where were the non-smoking bars? One was in the main lobby, which is where all the octogenarians hung out with the lounge music. One was a bar that closed down at 11pm each night. And the other was the bar next to the casino, where the smoke was so intense you could hardly see the far wall! Not only that, but Carnival allows smoking in the state rooms (any interior cabin and any cabin with a balcony…and you can smoke inside the room, not just on the balcony!). This meant that in walking down the corridors, it was like walking through an ash tray. The ship often seemed like one, big, floating ash tray!
It was for this reason alone that I have told numerous people that I could never sail on Carnival again, not until they change their smoking policy. When I sailed on the Italian line (MSC) I was never bothered by smoke on board! It's sad, too, as the ship was beautiful, the staff were friendly, the other passengers were fun and energetic and other than not being able to enjoy the night life on board, I had a really good time.
The week was over far too fast for me. I could have spent another week on board and now I am thinking one day, I'll need to take a 2-week cruise! Loren was ready to get home, though, saying he was tired of eating! Yes, we lived like kings and ate like there was no tomorrow. Now I'm home, a bit depressed, and on a strict diet to lose the pounds I put on last week! But it was so worth it. And with more vacation coming to me in November, I am already putting out the word that I'm seeking cruise partners. Maybe the Mexican Riviera!

As I headed out for my walk today my special brain presented me with a challenge. A 6 mile walk challenge. I just downloaded FitRPG and have a bit of a love affair going on with it. It seemed like it would be a good way to get gold from the quests! (I was right, I racked up over 600 from 3 quests). In case you haven't heard, FitRPG turns your daily steps into 'quests' where you earn gold to do battle and hopefully win even more gold. Just like a real RPG only for steps! It's goal is to connect you to other users and provide you an incentive to log more steps throughout the day in game format. It's a great motivator, I've found.
So today I loaded up a few quests headed out the door and then my special brain was like "I bet you can't walk 6 miles before the storm comes." So…I did. It started out fine, humid but fine, and around mile 2 I got a phone call for a job interview next Monday! See? Walking has TONS of benefits! Alright, so the interview offer would have happened even if I was binge watching The X-Files but the whole "walking causes awesome things to happen" connection is wayy better!
The heat only got to 85° but with the humidity it felt much higher, until the wind started (thank God) around mile 3.5.
Mile 4 I was dragging and contemplating the sanity of myself, " seriously brain, why are you trying to kill me?" "Lets go gallivanting along in a balmy 85 for 6 miles!" "What day is it?" "HOMG, I don't wanna walk anymore, my butt hurts now!!"…Yeah, I'm not proud of it…
Fortunately around 4.25 miles I came up to our local market and bless the cashier's heart, he filled my water bottle that had HOT water in it now with a crap-ton of ice and cool water. Such a relief!
Apparently all I needed was cold water! I damn near frolicked along the last couple miles, rocking out to Florence + The Machine (Girl crush!!) and snapping pictures.
At one point my fiance drove by to his interview & I tried convincing him that if he just drove me to 1/2 mile nobody would know…yeah he didn't. Love you too hunny, thanks for the support! Haha!
By the time I had the house in my sights I was giddy, yet dragging, and so ready to be done. I am incredibly proud of myself for getting out there and doing the walk even though I thought I was going to die, and forgot my name at some point…Yay, victory!
Shortly after I got back home I checked the weather and saw this…
And the final stats!
So tell me, have you st any recent fitness related challenges? What were/are they? Were you successful? Tell me in the comments!

Sunday 9 July 2017, 15.00, Kingshill Park
More pre-season action, this time to see Forth Wanderers against Real Kashmir.
A first ever visit to the home of Forth Wanderers, based in the village of Forth in South Lanarkshire.
They play their football in the West Region of the Scottish Junior Football Association and currently ply their trade in the Central District First Division.
Formed in 1904, they have been at their Kingshill Park home since 1934, although they have twice had to decant when it became unusable. It's very much an old school ground, with a few obvious more recent additions, like the small covered area, which stands alone on one half of the pitch. I imagine it gets very busy in there when the weather is bad. The pitch didn't look in the greatest of condition which doesn't bode well for the Scottish winter (or summer, autumn or spring for that matter). There is also a structure selling food and drink, which is named "The Pie and Bovril Lounge".
They spent most of their history in the Lanarkshire Leagues and the Lanarkshire Hozier Cup was their first trophy in 1914. They won the Lanarkshire League in 1966 and have also bagged the Lanarkshire Junior Cup and League Cups. They reached the Scottish Junior Cup semi-final in season 1980-81 and that is the furthest they have gone. A Central League Cup win in 1984-85 had been their last silverware until they lifted the Central District Second Division title in 2015-16. Last season saw them manage to avoid relegation, although it was touch and go for a while.
Their most famous son is Rangers legend Willie Waddell who came from the village and played for the team in his early years.
After seeing Real Kashmir at Stenhousemuir the day before, we were interested to see how they would fare against a Central Division side, and hoped it would be more evenly matched than the day before.
Real were once again resplendent in top of the range looking kit and were wearing a different strip to the one they wore on the Saturday.
Both sides had played friendlies the day before, with Forth drawing 1-1 at AFC Red Star.
There were around 130 in attendance.
Mohammad Hammad took an early knock and required treatment in the third minute, but was ok to continue.
A chip to the back post by McLaren in 6 minutes found two Forth players unmarked at the back post and Rennie stepped forward to sweep the ball into the net, but the flag was up for offside.
A pass through the middle of the Real defence in 8 minutes by McGeechan found McLaren through on goal, but Safiz Riyaz was quickly out of his box to block, then got up to stop Rennie's effort with his chest.
In 9 minutes, McLaren put a good ball into the Real box and Rennie slid in to send the ball low into the corner of the net on the volley. The keeper got his fingertips to it, but couldn't keep it out.
It had been a strong start from the home side and the men from Kashmir must have been having flashbacks to Stenhousemuir at this stage.
Hanan Mir received the ball into his feet on the edge of the Forth box in 13 minutes after Mohammad Hammad had played a free kick from the half way line forward. He controlled it and then rolled it into the path of Ishafq Ahmad who struck a well hit shot high into the net for the equaliser. It was easy to see the delight of the players and officials at their first goal in Scotland.
Three minutes later and Aqib Mushtaq saw his shot from the edge of the Forth box deflected into the path of Asrar Rehbar, but his low shot was taken well by Cherrie.
McLaren curled a Forth free kick to the back post in 18 minutes and found Rennie, but he put it wide.
With 22 minutes gone, Aqib Mushtaq played the ball forward to Asrar Rehbar. He cut it back for Hanan Mir, but his shot was saved.
McLaren put a dangerous cross into the Real box in 23 minutes, but a great interception by Mohammad Hammad halted the attack.
Another ball across goal by McLaren in 24 minutes saw everyone miss it in the middle. It came to the trialist, but it hit off him and spun wide.
McLaren was everywhere and his through ball in 25 minutes sent the trialist scampering in on goal, but Safiz Riyaz was out quickly to block.
The Real defence was carved open again in 26 minutes and this time it was McLaren himself who was through on goal. As the keeper came out, he expertly lifted the ball over him and into the net to put Forth back in front.
A well struck shot by the trialist in 28 minutes from the right didn't look far wide of the post.
A clever ball by Asrar Rehbar in 29 minutes sent Ishafq Ahmad through in the Forth box, but a heavy touch allowed Cherrie to come out and smother.
McGeechan had a shot at goal in 34 minutes from the edge of the Real box after being set up by McLaren, but he hammered wide.
With 4 minutes to half time Rennie played the ball inside to Grenfell. He cut the ball back to trialist, but his low shot produced a great save from Safiz Riyaz.
Still 2-1 at half time and Forth had the better of the chances and possession and should have been further in front. Real were certainly in the game though and were far from out of things.
Asrar Rehbar was through for Real in 48 minutes, but Cherrie came out to smother at his feet.
In 49 minutes, Aqib Mushtaq showed good close control on the edge of the box, but his low shot was saved by Cherrie.
McLaren won the ball for Forth on the left in 54 minutes and ran into the box, but Musaib Mushtaq made a good save at his feet.
Danish Farooq hit a fine crossfield pass to send Aqib Mushtaq running in from the left in 62 minutes, but Cherrie showed good awareness to come out quickly and block with his feet.
A Real corner a minute later was taken short to Prem Kumar and he flashed the ball across goal with Hanan Mir inches away from making contact.
McLaren made an incisive run along the Real by-line in 64 minutes, but Mohammad Hammad got a tackle in to send the ball behind.
Cockerill was forced to limp off for Forth in 70 minutes, with the man he had replaced coming back on. Forth did more of this as the second half developed.
Liyaqat Gul burst down the left for Real in 72 minutes and went past two defenders, but couldn't pick out a team mate in the middle.
Forth produced a pre-planned free kick in 74 minutes with McLaren passing to the feet of Dick on the edge of the box, who flicked it on to McGeechan, but Musaib Mushtaq was able to turn the ball behind.
It was clear that Real were coming more into the game as it went on and were seeing more and more of the ball.
McLaren showed good skill to play the ball into the feet of Jarvie in 84 minutes and he turned and shot for goal, but Musaib Mushtaq was well positioned.
Up the other end a minute later and Prem Kumar found some space at the edge of the box, but he shot well over.
In 87 minutes, Prem Kumar chased a through ball and got the break of the ball off Cherrie and stroked the ball into the empty net to tie the score again.
McLaren went down in the Real box in 88 minutes with two defenders challenging, but the referee wasn't interested. It looked a stonewaller, but it would have been harsh on the visitors to deny them a draw.
Real broke forward in the last minute and Prem Kumar looked to be tripped off the ball by Corbett, but he escaped punishment.
Tippen had a go from distance in injury time, but it was just wide of the Real post.
An entertaining game and great to see Real Kashmir get something from it. They came more and more into the game as it went on and showed very impressive stamina and desire right to the end. Forth will rue not putting the game to bed when they were on top and will point to the penalty it looked like they should have had, but I don't think they would hold too much of a grudge over the result.
McLaren showed some great ability for Forth and looked a very good player. Rennie worked hard and was rewarded with a goal. For Real, Aqib Mushtaq showed some good skill and Asrar Rehbar was a threat on the left.
The players from both sides posed for pictures together on the pitch at the final whistle. There was a good atmosphere in the ground and a very friendly feel to it. I'll be heading back to Forth.
Credit to Real Kashmir who carried themselves very well over the two games I saw them and hopefully they will return in the future.

Why do New Zealand parents become involved in their children's early childhood education?NZARE Conference & Annual Meeting 2012, 29-30 November. Hamilton, New Zealand (2013)
Collaborative relationships between parents and teachers in early childhood settings have moved to
the forefront of education practice and policy initiatives in NZ. This research aims to investigate the
factors underlying parents' decision to participate in early childhood education in New Zealand.
In the context of elementary/secondary education, Hoover-Dempsey and Sandler (1997) identifies
three major constructs as central to parents' basic involvement decisions which are: (1) parents' role
construction (parents' beliefs about what they are supposed to do to support their children's
education); (2) parents' sense of efficacy for helping their children succeed in school (the extent to
which parents believe that through their involvement they can exert a positive influence on their
children's educational outcomes), and (3) parents' perception of general invitations and opportunities
for involvement (parents' perceptions that the child and school want them to be involved).
In light of the Hoover-Dempsey and Sandler model, as well as Epstein's (1995) typology of parental
involvement, the research question of this study was formulated as: What are determinants of parental
involvement in early childhood education among English speaking parents in New Zealand?
Participants were 127 parents who were recruited from 50 public kindergartens in the Auckland region.
The data collection was comprised of a multi-section questionnaire survey of all participants and
semi-structured interviews with 25 participants. Parent Family Involvement Questionnaire (FIQ)
(Fantuzzo et al., 2000), Parental Role Construction for Involvement in the Child's Education Scale:
Role Activity Beliefs (Walker et al., 2005), Parental Sense of Competence Scale (Johnston & Mash,
1989), and Parenting Styles and Dimension Questionnaire (Robinson, et al., 2001) were adapted to
measure parental involvement, role construction, self-efficacy and parenting style. Parent interviews
were based on a selection of questions from the parental involvement section of the parent
questionnaire, and the interviews provided in-depth insights into the possible reasons for different
level of involvement.
Hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that role construction and work status in hours
were significant contributors to communicating with teachers, role construction was significant
contributor to volunteering to help at kindergarten, authoritative was significant contributor to helping
the child's learning at home, and role construction and self-efficacy were significant contributors to
participating in kindergarten decision making.
The study partially supported and extended a seminal model based on the US school samples to a
preschool sample in New Zealand, and provided a framework for conceptualising and formulating
strategies to enhance parental involvement in early childhood education in New Zealand.

Satan Might Cry is hallowed flooring. It isn't only a foolish camp tale of a Satan Hunter that is cameoed in such a lot of video games that he spawned a meme, it is an act of refinement of the motion sequence as a complete; one that hasn't actually been challenged till Bayonetta strolled onto the scene.
A big a part of that legacy comprises Satan Might Cry 3, with its at the fly weapon swapping, clean mixtures, killer bosses, and hard same old problem (which used to be quickly bumped as much as arduous in later renditions). It is nonetheless one of the most efficient, if no longer the most efficient motion romps round — which is why I am happy that extra persons are going to be presented to it by the use of the Satan Might Cry HD Assortment, which simply dropped this week on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
Glaring jokes apart that Satan Might Cry 2 does not exist (in the event you're out of the loop, it is the black sheep of the circle of relatives, however nonetheless integrated on this HD trilogy), the primary additionally holds up, partly because of the dedication of 60FPS gameplay, one thing it heralded with its friends see you later in the past.
Yeah, I may opt for enjoying Satan Might Cry and Satan Might Cry 3 in all places once more.

Down here in the South
we have already started school,
in fact,
we just finished our 2nd full week of school.
It seems like we have been back for a long time by now
All of our activities have started back in full force.
Zachary is doing football (more on that later)
and Victoria is doing softball.
Trency is still around, he starts back to college on September 15.
Every first day of school starts with dad making waffles for breakfast.
The kids love waffles and by now it's become a tradition.
Another yearly tradition is the "first day of school" picture.
I always take it in the same spot so that I can look
back at the picture and see how much the kids have grown!
I was able to get Zachary coming down the stairs:
And then I put him against the wall for the "official" picture;
Can't seem to get this kid to smile much!
We all then head outside to wait for the bus.
She finally arrives and there is a sadness that comes over us (for a little while, that is).
Then it's time to get the Middle Schooler ready.
That's not as easy a task as the elementary boy!
She finally gets against the wall for her "official" picture.
Is that a look of annoyance or what?!
Having dad at the bus stop is so NOT cool!
OMG! What if one of her friends see her taking a picture with her dad.
I think her world would probably come to an end.
Finally, the bus arrives to take her on to the middle school.
The house is so quiet after they are gone.
They had a wonderful first day and they were ready to see their friends again.
Before I know it, it'll be time to post last day of school pictures.
Where does the time go?

Minutes of the Last Meeting-Matters Arising
Luton & Dunstable Cycle Forum
Patrick Lingwood, the Walking & Cycling Officer for Bedfordshire gave a presentation on the benefits of cycling, intended for non-cyclists. To help the cycle forum to better match the Local Transport Plan for Luton & Dunstable, PL suggested that the forum be enlarged to include Dunstable. This was agreed by the meeting. DW agreed to contact known cyclists from Dunstable.
Cycle Routes
PC handed round maps showing route 6 in Park Street. An objection to the cycle lane has been received from a resident of Park Street rear Cutenhoe Road. At this quiet point in Park Street, and obligatory cycle lane was not thought essential.
AK Sustrans are applying for Lottery funding to construct a cycle track in an additional arch under the railway line to the south of the Sundon Arch on Toddington Road. After a design study, the plan will be publicly voted on in a television series planned for next year. Good local support will be essential for its success.
Route 6 Through the Town Centre: Initially, signage will be minimal. Parkway Road now has an advisory cycle lane to Parkway station. A number of new cycle parking sites are under consideration - outside Cycle King in Bury Park being one of them. Forum members are invited to suggest suitable sites to PR.
Many NCN signs on route 6 have now been replaced by LBC. Lights are yet to be fitted on the new pedestrian crossing in Neville Road. Dual use signage on the footpath New Bedford Road north of Austin Road is still required.
There are plans to convert the footpath alongside the railway between Crawley Green Road and Kimpton Road into dual use. A narrow section of this path will require work before it is suitable. After lobbying by PR, a cycle lane will run alongside Translink route.
Accident Investigation & Prevention (AIP) is to start on Leagrave Road and Leagrave High Street.
5. NCN Progress
With the onset of autumn, groundworks are continuing on the 2-km stretch south of Parkway station towards Harpenden. Now that all agreements are in place, the application to the Eastern Development Agency (EDA) will be re-submitted. Their match funding is required before LBC & BCC funds can be spent. This includes the bridge over the Lower Harpenden Road.
6. Cycle Promotion
The LBC website carries a continuous recruitment advertisement for cycle trainers. Some of the courses for the October half term are already full.
A new cycling map for Luton is in production, with Marsh Farm & the town centre shown in detail on the reverse, together with an area map of Beds Herts & Bucks.
There was poor uptake of cycle "commuter trains" from Dunstable and Harpenden, organised by PR. She asked for suggestions of times and starting points for future "trains".
7. Maintenance of the Network
DW's observations on the maintenance of Bradgers Hill have been passed to Chris Godden. Plans for cycle parking at the L & D hospital are in hand. Once they are approved by the L & D travel group, the cycle stands will be installed by LBC.
8. Round Table Discussion
Appropriate speed limits for the A505 in the Butterfield Green area were discussed. The Jansel House roundabout continues to be a cycle unfriendly junction difficult to avoid.
9. Date & time of the next meeting
Wednesday 6th December 2006, at 6-30pm in the town hall, to include Dunstable cyclists.
Latest Luton & dunstable Cycle Forum
Discuss anything not covered below.

Share Pin Email Print Barb Gonzalez Software & Apps Video & Audio Browsers & Internet Backup & Utilities Social Networking News & Reference Antivirus & Security Email & Messaging Windows Only Mac Only iOS Only Android Only View More by Barb Gonzalez Updated May 14, 2018 For those considering a Samsung TV (compare prices), one of its unique features is Samsung apps. Samsung Smart TVs have a wide variety of useful, unique and quirky apps similar to the types of apps found on Android phones. Apps on a TV are a new concept and not a bad one. There are more than 200 apps — from those that help you get ready in the morning, to those that connect to your social media, to apps commonly found on network TVs, like Vudu and Netflix. In the Samsung App Store, you'll find categories for videos, games, sports, lifestyle, information and "other" apps. Some of these apps are for an international audience — Yupp TV is TV from India while other apps are Korean. Be sure to read the details about the app before you buy to be sure it is an app that is for your region and in the language you want. Here are some examples of the types of apps you'll find in the Samsung App store. Video and Audio Apps Samsung has included just about every online video content app you could want. Available movie apps include Netflix and several video-on-demand services — Vudu, Cinema Now, Blockbuster, and Hulu Plus, which is also available to watch your favorite TV shows, requires a Hulu Plus subscription. The only missing popular online video app is Amazon On Demand. Video Aggregators -- Video aggregating apps bring together several different video podcast or web channels. "Making Of" -- Other video apps like "Making Of" have niche video content — in this case, behind-the-scenes videos of popular films. These short movies made by the studios are higher quality than some web videos in other video aggregating apps. 3D Offerings Many of the Samsung Smart TVs are 3D capable. With 3D content being scarce, there are only a few apps to feed your 3D craving. There is limited content in these apps and they haven't been updated since they were originally downloaded several months ago. We can only hope that there will be more apps as more people get excited about 3D. "Armchair Astronaut" -- Travel through our solar system with this informative 3D app. Planets jump out from the TV and rotate above your coffee table as you read statistics about their size and makeup. Or learn about the sun and our solar system. This a great app for students and astronomy buffs. The app costs $1.99 to download. "3D TV Album - Washington DC" -- This app is a slideshow of sights in our nation's capital. This is not merely one of those 3D photo programs with depth that retreats from the screen, as on a Viewmaster: These photos actually jut out into your room. It does take a little practice to focus on various 3D planes until the image pops out of the TV, but it is a cool feature when it finally does. Still, other than enjoying it a few times and showing your friends, the content is limited. The app price is $1.99. "Explore 3D" Movie Trailers – This is a 3D video app that shows the previews of a couple of 3D movies. The app came with trailers for "Shrek," "Megamind," and "How to Train Your Dragon." Unfortunately, no new trailers or features have been added since the app came out. Proceed to Page 2: Samsung Lifestyle and Game Apps Lifestyle Apps - Music and Social Apps The lifestyle category includes social media, how-to apps, art, travel, and music. There are also a number of unique and quirky apps. The music category includes popular apps like "Pandora", "Napster" and "VTuner Internet Radio". Individual Apps for Social Media connect you to Facebook, Twitter, and the Picasa photo-sharing sites. If you want to see the latest of what's happening with your friends view photos or videos or, post a quick status update, it can be a satisfying experience. You'll need to store the login information on your TV. To create and store the login information for online accounts like Facebook, Pandora, and Picasa, go to the Settings menu and to "internet@TVLogin." Once you've logged in to your Samsung account, there will be a list of apps that require logins. Click "connect" next to the app and enter your username and password for each app. It helps to have the Samsung remote control app for a Samsung Android phone to use the app's QWERTY keyboard. Art Apps -- Included in this category are a number of "Gallery On TV" apps that will display the works of different painters — Van Gogh and Gustav Klimt, for instance — or types of paintings, fine art and other groups. Unfortunately, these do not turn your TV into a frame for virtual art, as the artwork does not fill the screen. Also, these apps could use optional background music. Each "Gallery On TV" costs $1.99. "A3" displays the works of British photo-artist Michael Banks. If you are a fan of his work, be aware that it is one of the higher-priced apps at $4.99 "Travelwizard" – The Virtuoso Travel Agency created this "experiential travel guide" includes travel and cruise videos for "sophisticated travelers." You can click through videos of exotic trips, including a cruise of the Arctic and other areas, and beautiful destinations. These well-made, often HD videos are like a mini vacation. It's a free app and recommended for the armchair tourist. "HSN" -- The Home Shopping Network app makes it even easier to spend your money for those impulse buys. The app shows the video feed of what is currently selling on the TV channel, along with a list of the latest offerings and product details. If shopping on TV is your thing, this app is a must. Other useful lifestyle includes "How to Tie a Tie," "My Skin" to choose the right skin-care product and a guide to the "Denver Underground" music scene. The "SPSTV" app has video tutorials for all of the Samsung products from cell phones to camcorders, and the Geek Squad app that has videos to help you use your electronics "Relax" – This app that combines soothing ambient music with beautiful scenery photos. The app may be more irritating than relaxing if you notice that the loop of soothing sounds will pause and restart every 20 seconds. Similarly, "Smile Pet" uses either a classical music or heartbeat loop to keep your pet company when you're gone. "Smile Pet" has the same pause between loops, but your dog or cat may not notice it. This app was designed for people who like to leave their TV on for their pet. However, it won't give them a lot of variety. "Amos TV" —Calling itself "Ambient Television," this is probably a better app for soothing music videos and beautiful cinematography. The free version offers trailers of the videos. The full Amos TV app runs $4.99. Note that Amos is found in the "video" category. Game Apps A growing list of game apps available in the Samsung App store includes such favorites as Sudoku and Bejeweled, memory games, and an old-fashioned Pac-Man game. Some games, like "Drop Duel" and "Texas Hold 'Em," offer you the option of playing on the TV or playing with friends. Now the TV becomes a center of entertaining your friends. Other games like "We Draw" require more than one player and an app for your smartphones. To increase your brain power, there are a couple of apps offer mental training, including "Dr. Brain" and "Brain Challenge." These games are designed to develop and improve different parts of your brain and include logic, fast judgment, and memory training. At $9.99 and $4.99, they are pricier than other just-for-fun game apps. Proceed to Page 3: Samsung Apps for Sports, Health and Fitness and Children's Learning Games Sports apps Samsung's sports apps include apps to follow professional sports as well as health and fitness apps. "ESPN Scorecenter" and "ESPN Next Level" – These apps offer sports scores and sports news. Both can be displayed over your current TV program so that you can get background info related to the sport you are watching — or get sports scores and news while your spouse is watching "Desperate Housewives." There is also the popular "MLB.TV" app where subscribers can view streams of baseball games. "NBA Game Time Lite" shows game highlights, scores, and stats. Other sports apps are available for niche audiences. "Willow TV" lets you watch cricket. "Wave Riders" describes itself as showing videos of "babes, bikinis, and big air." Fitness Apps --Rather than buy a fitness video, you can get follow-along instructions directly from a Samsung App. While "Yoga TV" at $19.99 shows a series of yoga class videos, other apps simply display illustrations of exercises for you to follow. "Yoga Helper," "Do Squats" and "Pushup Master" by Hello Coach are either free or 99 cents, and can take you through a complete exercise program. The "Yoga Helper" app has great explanations and illustrations of poses and can be set for your yoga ability. It displays a timer for you to get into a pose, then one for how long to stay in the pose. The only problem is that you often aren't looking at the TV while you are in a yoga pose. The addition of some audio signal for when it is time to change would be a great help. Information Apps If you like to get breaking news as soon as it happens, there are apps that have the news you want -- "AP News Ticker" and "USA Today". "DashWhoa" -- This is the type of app that you might use every morning. There is a large display of the date and time, an hour-by-hour weather report and a local map that shows local traffic conditions. Note that the map displays your local street names in both English and Korean — undoubtedly due to the Samsung's production in Korea. Other informational apps include "Google Maps" and "AccuWeather". While the free AccuWeather app displays general weather in your area, the $2.99 AccuWeather app can be set for your zip code and displays details of hourly or 10-day weather forecasts. "Other" Apps The "other" category is actually apps for small children. Many versions of "Dibo" and "Hungry Pinky" are a must for parents who want to educate their kids while they keep them entertained in front of the TV; there are plenty of apps from which to choose. The Samsung app platform is still growing. While many of the apps are basic and unsophisticated, there are a few apps that stand out. More apps are being developed that for 2011 TV models that will not work on the 2010 Samsung Smart TVs. Be sure to check the details of an app for compatibility information. If you just want a few of the best apps, here is my list of the top 10 Samsung Apps. Samsung Apps: Notes for both TVs and Blu-ray Disc Players It is important to note that Samsung Apps also work on Samsung's line of network-enabled 2010 and 2011 line of Blu-ray Disc Players. However, some of the newer apps don't work on 2010 model Blu-ray disc players, or 2010 Smart TVs for that matter. The home screen on the TV and Blu-ray disc players will note in green that it is the 2010 Samsung App or Interenet@TV version if it's not a 2011 model. When you click on some apps, it will show if it has limited compatibility. They also have Samsung apps for their phones in the Samsung app store (in Korea, not in U.S. yet) that may not be applicable to Samsung TVs or Blu-ray disc players. Stay tuned for more updates in this area as they become available. For a more in-depth look and explanation of Samsung Apps, check out our Complete Guide to Samsung Apps Continue Reading

"What can I do to help?"
This is a question I have asked myself many times in my life.
This question floods my mind when I find myself glued to media coverage after disaster strikes.
What could I do as I sat in my college dorm room in Arkansas in 1995 when my home state faced the tragedy of the Oklahoma Federal building bombing? I remember tears streaming down my face as my heart wanted to race home to help, yet I knew I had to stay at school.
How could I possibly help my fellow Americans in the Northeast, when I was an 8th grade teacher sitting in my classroom in Texas listening to radio coverage on the morning of September 11th, 2001? Like everyone else in America, my heart longed to do something. I longed to help someone that was affected, yet I knew I had a class to teach and 8th graders to influence on that fateful day.
Was there anything I could do in 2005 as a mother of two children under the age of two when an earthquake devastated Pakistan leaving over 3 million homeless? This tragedy only gained media coverage for a few short nights, but with my brother serving as a first responder, mountain climbing to reach villages affected…my heart ached to go help my brother help the people of this country that I had grown to love over the years.
Tornadoes. Earthquakes. Bombings. Hurricanes. Wildfires. School shootings.
These tragedies stop us in the tracks of our fast paced American lives, and for a moment we take time to sit quietly and feel the pain of others. For a moment we sit still long enough to ask ourselves, "What can I do to help?"
Monday night, as I watched the media coverage of the devastation of the tornadoes that hit my home state of Oklahoma, again with tears in my eyes my heart ached with the question "what can I do to help?"
Though my heart was breaking, I could find a glimmer of peace in the answer to that question.
"I am already helping these people I am watching on TV. The first responders. The parents. The children. The teachers. The families of those who lost loved ones."
You see. . . each month our family gives money to an organization that is always among the first to show up when tragedy strikes. A group that has been highlighted numerous times on national news.
The organization that our family financially supports is my local church who gives a portion of my monthly tithe to the Cooperative Program of the Southern Baptist Convention.
This Cooperative Program is the mission support organization that funds the Baptist General Convention's Disaster Relief teams. Many in the media often call this group 'the Baptist men.'
Tears welled up in my eyes last night as I watched the evening news and Brian Williams interviewed Harry Smith with the backdrop of tornado devastated Moore, Oklahoma.
Brian Williams, "They have here FEMA and then they have almost a faith based FEMA."
Harry Smith, "And as you and I have seen in so many different places, in this country if you are waiting for the government, you are going to be in for an awful long wait. The Baptist men… they're gonna get it done tomorrow."
My generation has been quick to criticize the local church. Many do not see a need to attend church, and sure don't see the importance of giving money regularly to support the ministries of their local church.
Believe me, there are some things in the history of the Church that make me cringe. Mistakes have been made. Leaders have fallen from grace. Our family has personally been wounded by some within the church.
Several times Joe and I (who both grew up in church and have degrees from seminary) have looked at each other and entertained the thought of giving up on the idea of church.
Maybe we could do more good on our own? Do we really need the church to help people? We both have giving hearts. We both have a love for other people. Surely we could do a lot of good on our own.
However, on a day like today as I watched Harry Smith and Brian Williams talk on the nightly news, I was reminded of the importance of my giving each week to my local church that gives money to the Cooperative Program of the Southern Baptist Convention.
My offering seems small compared to some, but combined with those around the world who give regularly to this program…the impact is enormous.
This morning in my prayer time I asked God, "What do I need to do to help?"
Will I give extra money to the Disaster Relief Fund? Absolutely.
Will I sign up to go with volunteer groups that are being mobilized from my church? I hope to.
Will I collect water bottles and food to send? I might.
To my surprise as I prayed, I felt a strong urgency to simply do the next thing I needed to do today. That did not include hopping in a car to drive the hour and a half to the Oklahoma City area to help.
Instead, my heart felt a greater desire to 'help' the people whom I would brush shoulders with on an 'ordinary' Tuesday.
When images and stories of disaster are fresh on our minds, the 'ordinary ways to show love' become some of the most important.
Kissing my kids good-bye before they leave for school.
Telling my husband 'I love you.'
Stopping to talk to the coworker who walks into work with tears in her eyes and taking the time to pray for her.
Smiling and saying a kind word to the QT cashier as he rings up my 69 cent tea.
Some days I find myself caught up in the rush of this life and miss opportunities to help people in the most ordinary ways.
But on a day like today, when the feeling of tragedy is raw, I am reminded that I shouldn't wait until the next disaster to ask myself…
"What can I do to help?"
Every day people around me face heartache.
Jobs are lost. Family members die. Children disappoint. Spouses betray.
May the disaster of the recent Oklahoma tornadoes propel us to give regularly and generously to our local churches and to slow down enough to reach out in love every day to those in our sphere of influence who need our help.
If you are looking for a way to help the victims of the Oklahoma tornadoes directly, please consider supporting Oklahoma Disaster Relief.

After the death Tuesday of L.A. film czar Tom Sherak, his deputy, Rajiv Dalal, the last executive to work with him, shared his thoughts on his passing:
We grew very close in his waning months, and I feel that there is one story still to be told -- how Tom dedicated the last three months of his life to help the people of Los Angeles.
When first we met, Tom was in the early stages of recuperating from what was hoped to be his last
Having gained so much himself from our industry, Tom could not stand by as he watched colleagues take their families to Louisiana and Georgia in search of work. It was just too devastating. He appealed to my better judgment to decline other opportunities and join him -- which, needless to say, I did. I remember thinking to myself, "How could anyone turn down Tom?"
In the following weeks, Tom pushed himself to meet with almost every stakeholder in the industry while balancing his declining health -- taking meetings in the waiting rooms of doctors' offices and doing media interviews moments after additional chemotherapy treatments. He insisted on making certain that everyone had input.
One moment in particular where Tom's resolve was never greater was when he traveled downtown to advocate to the governor's staff after his disease had spread -- and he could barely breathe (let alone speak). Shortly thereafter, Tom was readmitted to the hospital but assured me that "it was worth it."
Tom would always take the opportunity to teach me life lessons -- most of which centered upon "family" and "loyalty" as portrayed in his favorite films,
Fast forward to last Thursday, when Tom received the devastating news that his disease had progressed yet again -- not leaving him much time. In perhaps the greatest profile of courage I have ever witnessed, Tom sectioned off an hour of his remaining life (where most others would have balked and taken care of personal affairs) to call the mayor and explain the strategic plan for California to stem runaway production and save our industry.
I am not sure how much of our last conversation Tom heard on Tuesday morning before he passed away, but I told him that when our efforts succeed, I would remind everyone that it began with him. And then I walked away, holding the "Godfather" photo of Marlon Brando and Al Pacino in my hand.

One of the powers of social media is that it allows you to be yourself…..or anything else for that matter.
The euphoria of having a platform where your voice can be heard or you can be seen, creates a completely different person to what everyone sees or supposedly knows "offline."
Emotional Engagement is taught in marketing, so its okay to take a more emotional approach to communications and strategy, especially when using social media channels.
This attitude within marketing is justified simply because, you can't get the best out of anyone unless you connect with them on an emotional level.
Now, I'm not talking about drama or hyper sensitivity.
What I mean is finding a connection, identifying a common ground, spotting a leveler and using that to form the foundation on which marketing conversations, marketing communications, and marketing engagement can be built.
So, what's the marketing magic that happens when you switch to emotional engagement?
9 Y's
- You create content that's meaningful and not abstract.
- You make a lasting impression, and your content is bound to be remembered.
- You expand your creative vision.
- You churn out relevant stuff that's reusable.
- You start to feel, and pick up what's going on around you.
- You awaken from a sense of dullness, boredom and slumber.
- You identify your own value and pour it out to others.
- Content creation becomes a hobby and not a chore.
- You develop a personality and your image flows through every word, sentence, paragraph and campaign.
To sum it up, marketing is a thought process, and if you are ready to revolutionize your marketing, then hook up with emotional engagement.
