A collection of fifteen of the coolest Star Wars themed iphone cases. Choose from Boba Fett, Darth Vader, Han Solo, C3PO, R2D2, Storm Trooper, or Death Star designs (available at various venues). Sorry, no Jar Jar Binks here!
My favorite is the retro abstract design from A New Hope, made way back in 1977 when cell phones weren't even imagined yet, let alone i-phones (and before I was even born). Weird, huh? Who'da thunkit?

Guiding Principals
December 15, 2003
John Horn '83, M.A.T. '90, principal of Portland's Kelly Elementary School, arrives at work around 6:30 a.m. and often doesn't leave until 12 hours later. His job requires him to be a planner, a negotiator, an arbitrator of disputes—and, in his spare time, a visionary leader.
"Principals can sometimes feel isolated," says Horn. "We need to be able to talk with others who understand the demands of our work." That's where the Principals' Center at Lewis & Clark's Graduate School of Education comes in.
This outreach program coordinated by the educational administration department provides avenues for discussion, continuing education, and professional development. It is modeled after the Principals' Center at Harvard University, founded by noted educator and author Roland Barth.
"Our commitment was to create a center that was more about practice than place," says Tom Ruhl, associate professor of educational administration and founder of Lewis & Clark's program. "I was determined to help my peers maintain their vitality."
Principal John Horn '83, M.A.T. '90 reads to students at Portland's Kelly Elementary School.
Aided by a Ford Family Foundation grant, the center now sponsors eight active and developing partnerships in rural areas—from the little town of Nyssa, located near the Idaho border, to the southwestern coastal town of Bandon. And Ruhl plans to establish a dozen more regional hubs throughout the state, some in urban areas, where principals often experience stress from issues such as media scrutiny rather than seclusion.
In November, the Principals' Center rolled out an interactive Web site. Facilitated by a retired principal who leads discussions and "stirs the pot," the site enables principals to share ideas with their colleagues online.

From Richmond, British Columbia, Canada:
My 4 3/4 year old daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 one year ago. Since diagnosis, she seems to have more "stomach flu" type bugs than her peers. Her blood sugars are generally well controlled and she rarely has ketones in her urine. Our diabetes team does not seem overly concerned about this, but it worries me. Could this have anything to do with her diabetes?
I'd say no, and I'd be not be overly concerned about this. As far as common gastrointestinal disorders in children are concerned, I would defer to having a pediatrician give counsel on that.

Two Favorite Readings
My second favorite reading is Chapter 8 from the Shelly/Cashman series. I liked this one because I was able to integrate it into my real life. I believe that's when the most effective learning takes place for my students, and I think that this is also true for me. Before entering graduate school, I had a working relationship with computers that was on a need to know basis. If I didn't have to know it to do my job, then I avoided finding out about it. Now that I am an online student, I have found that there are many things that I must know how to do with technology in general, and with computers specifically. This experience dovetails with my school district finally entering the 21st century. Suddenly, there are all kinds of technology cropping up in my job. The more I work with all this technology, the more comfortable I am with all of it. I have come a long way this semester toward conquering my fears about using technology. Also by necessity, I have learned how to cope with computer related issues that result from asking older technology (home computer)to do the same work as newer technology (school/work computer). Without the anxiety I have formerly felt, I have been able to relate almost all of the information in Chapter 8 to my personal situation. This was truly helpful information to me, and very applicable to my life.

AT module 5
Our student joins the class daily for a portion of the Language Arts period. He participates as he can in the activities the rest of the class is doing. The children benefit from seeing this young man from day to day. He has made progress in his speech, which everyone can notice. He also uses a "talking box" called a Mo that can be programed to say phrases that are likely to be used in different situations. The screens can be changed to accommodate different settings, where different words would be said. Everyone has gotten used to the different sounding voice from the machine, as well as used to the types of things they may hear from this particular student.
This has been a good way for young students to learn to accept differences in people and in learning.
P.S. I don't remember the Seer being blind in The Giver (LibraryThing booklist of books about people with disabilities). Is that correct?
AT week 4
I teach regular second grade. The second grade teachers assembled the kids one day for the sister of one of our parents to talk with them. She is deaf, and the hearing parent interpreted her signs for us and used sign to ask her the kids' questions. It was useful to all of us for a few reasons. First, second grade was reading a story about a deaf child (part of the Moses series), so it was helpful for them to visit with a person who doesn't hear. Also, the kids loved learning sign language and seeing it in action. Of course, the women were much faster than we were teaching the kids. It was also good for them to see that a person who doesn't speak or hear at all can look like just another mom and be a part of the community. Our guest told us that although there are ways that she could feel music rhythms, she doesn't have a desire to "hear" music. It helped all of us to not feel sorry for her when we saw that she has a full life without hearing.
The quiz on the AT blog was easy for me because I am certified to teach special ed. My expectation was that I would be a special ed teacher, probably in life skills. It comes as quite a surprise that I was hired to teach regular second grade.
Annotated websites on AT:
Wikipedia explains what assistive technology is. It lists several disabilities and what types of technology would be helpful for those persons.
The National Center on Accessible Information Technology in Education's website gives a brief overview of what technology may be helpful for some individuals and provides a link telling what those technologies might be.
Google images shows many people, including children, using a variety of assistive technologies. This gives people an idea of what some of these things look like when they are in use.
This site is a family guide to assistive technology. It is very lengthy and thorough. This would be a good resource for someone who is purchasing a first piece of technology and who needs all the information available about it. This would be a good buying guide, but not for brand names. It just discusses what features are important.
The Ability Hub website gives information in a question/answer format that is easy to use. Links within the answers to questions show products that fit the criteria in the question.

Inspiration proved to be an interesting way to present information. I have thought for a long time that pictures presented with words make more of an impact on people. When I present information to my students, I almost always have some kind of picture of graphics to go along with my words. I created a very simple overview of the lessons and activities that I would teach associated with the story Chinatown. I loved how Inspiration allows so access to so many features, like a dictionary and all kids of graphic organizers. Everything was extremely easy to use and the work was easy to save. There was not enough room for a great deal of detail, which I would need to present actual lesson plans. Unfortunately, I can't link my Inspiration lesson plan to this blog, and I can't copy and paste it, either. It exists in my Farmer file for school.
I was very interested to see Kurzweil 3000 in action, and spent over an hour downloading it, but there ultimately ended up being some kind of a problem, and I didn't get to use it. I read all the info about it, and it really got me excited about using it. I wanted one for every kid in my class!
I'm glad I checked out the accommodations that Windows has already made. I didn't realize that so many aids were already in place to help people with disabilities. Some of these accommodations would be great for people who aren't disabled as well.
Last, I knew we could count on the libraries of our land to provide people with the information they seek, whether they can see it or not. To be a librarian is to provide services to my patrons - no matter their issues.

Assistive Technology Week 2
I focused on ergonomic designs, special keyboards, and classroom participation helps that a regular education classroom could use. I teach regular second grade, and as I watch those young children learning how to keyboard, I think of how useful it would be for them to have larger keys that are in different colors, like some of the ones I found on the Infogrip website. As a person who spends a lot of time typing, I would love to have one of the ergonomic keyboards for myself. I see so many adults wearing carpal tunnel supports on their wrists, and I wonder that we allow this for ourselves. I also found the option to have the keyboard letters arranged any way you want them to be interesting. I recently had the opportunity to hear Dr. William Daggett speak, and he mentioned that the letters on a typical keyboard are arranged for the least efficient, slowest typing as a throwback to the old days when typewriters used to get stuck when the letters crossed because the typist was going too fast for the technology. Now we our technology can go as fast as we want it to, so if we rearrange the letters, we could communicate even faster. This would be great for someone who uses a keyboard to talk. Last, I liked the classroom items I saw on the EnableMart website. Again, as a teacher of young children, they could benefit greatly from some of the technology that is designed to aid children with disabilities. Many of them are still developing cognitive and motor skills needed to manipulate more "adult" items like keyboards and spinners.
I wish I had done this week's assignment before I started my assistive technology plan. A lot of the things that I laboriously searched for are right here at my fingertips!
implement simple accommodations in various
While I was searching for hardware for my assistive technology plan, I came across a thumb drive that enables any PC to magnify and read on screen information to the user. It can be easily removed and transported to other PCs, so the person isn't limited to a single computer. It's called a dolphin pen.
The Task Builder is a nice tool, both for children who cannot cognitively process multi-step directions and for young children who lack maturity to recall multi-step directions. It records the steps of a process and the child can play them back until he or she has completed all parts of a process.
As a software application, word prediction is a great feature for both children with disabilities and children who are still learning how to write. When a group of letters is typed in that do not match with a known word, the program suggests likely possibilities. This would make writing easier for a person who has motor or cognitive issues, or help a young learner with the complex task of writing.
particularly helpful in developing your knowledge about assistive technology
EnableMart was particularly helpful to me. I actually did my own research last week for an assistive technology plan, and I came across the EnableMart website and found it to be informative and have a large number of hardware and software items for a wide variety of needs.

AT module 1
I teach second grade. Currently, I have one child from the life skills room who attends part of each day in my classroom. Bruce has a "talking box" that we call a Mo. It has several screens that, if he touches a picture on any of them, will do his talking for him. The phrases are rudimentary, but since Bruce is extremely limited in his speech, it gives all of us a good idea of what he wants. Early in the school year, Bruce's aid and I introduced the Mo to our classroom so that everyone would know what Bruce had and what it does.
Similarly, if I needed to teach Braille to my students, I would introduce it whole class. Hopefully the student who uses it would be proficient enough to demonstrate how this works and why it is important to know. After showing some of the letters and combining those letters to make words, I would have the children practice using Braille in pairs. This would lend itself well to my elementary aged group because of the tactile nature of Braille. After some practice, we would use our new knowledge to interpret some Braille literature. To continue to reinforce the skill, I would have a Braille center that each child would rotate through on a biweekly basis.
In reviewing The National Center for Learning Disabilities website, I clicked on most of the links to see if there was new information out there for me. As a teacher of emergent readers, I often am part of the diagnostic process when a child has a learning disability, and as part of a team of educators, I have access to many modifications and ideas about assisting these children in a regular classroom. The information I saw on this website reflected current thinking, but it was more general in each area than the information that I have been working with. I would use this more to expose or introduce educators to the types of needs they may experience int heir classrooms.

Week 9,Things 21, 22, and 23
I located a group of podcasts created by an elementary school group, older than the second graders that I teach, but nonetheless inspiring to me. These kids sound GOOD! My class made a podcast last year, associated with an animal report, and I relied heavily on our technology support person for help. This year, I know more about what needs to be done. I will still use her help, though (let's be real - I want it to be done before the end of the school year!). Part of the issue for me is that I need time to both complete my graduate studies, do my regular job, and then I need time to learn how to use some of the new technologies and make them fool proof for my students and my colleagues.
This is true for the ebooks and audiobooks. I love the idea of choosing a book, downloading it to my ipod, and listening to it when I'm not reading something else or working on something. That doesn't happen in my life right now. I hope when I have free time (next Aug. before school starts again) that technology won't have changed too much that I can't recognize what to do!
Back to podcasts, I found one of my favorite radio shows on iTunes. I gave it us when school started because I didn't have time to listen to it in the car, where I can tune it in. I cant' get it in my house. Now, I can listen to it on my computer. Podcasts are not at all scary when I realize that they are radio shows. During the early decades of the 20th century, people broadcast radio shows from their homes regularly. Everything old is new again! Fannie Farmer has written one or two books about characters who did just that. Thanks to Chris Kretz's clear explanation of all that goes into a podcast and all the uses for a podcast in a contemporary library, I no longer feel a hollow feeling in my stomach when podcasts, or other types of technology, are mentioned. In fact, I really need to know what what I'm talking about, because I tend to be the one at my grade level in my building who knows the most about these topics. Now, that's a surprise.

Will my foreign exchange transaction be impacted by sanctions?
What are sanctions?
Sanctions are measures used by governments and international organisations to support national security interests and/or advance foreign policy objectives. The requirements of different sanctions regimes will often vary depending on the government or body administering them.
Sanctions measures commonly include:
- Financial restrictions
- Asset freezes
How could you be affected?
We strive to make all foreign exchange transactions including international money transfers and currency conversion as requested, however some may not be processed due to international sanctions and will require further due diligence.
Completing the required sanctions due diligence may result in extended process times for some transactions for our customers.
Any transactions that are prohibited by sanctions will not be processed by ASB, nor will transactions be processed where ASB is unable to obtain sufficient information to confirm that the transaction does not contravene applicable sanctions.
We generally do not enter into, or remain involved in, any transaction that directly or indirectly involves the following countries:
- Afghanistan
- Central African Republic
- Congo, Democratic Republic of
- Crimea and Sevastopol
- Eritrea
- Cuba
- Guinea-Bissau
- Guinea
- Iraq
- Iran, Islamic Republic of
- Korea, Democratic People's Republic of (North)
- Myanmar (Burma)
- Libyan Arab Jamahiriya
- Sudan-North
- Sudan-South
- Syrian Arab Republic
- Somalia
- Yemen
In addition to the above, the below countries will require additional due diligence and may result in the payment being unable to be processed where we cannot obtain sufficient information.
- Lebanon
- Russia
- Venezuela
- Zimbabwe
From time to time, these countries may also be subject to additional controls:
- Bosnia and Herzegovina
- Croatia
- Macedonia
- Montenegro
- Serbia
- Slovenia
- Egypt
- Tunisia
International sanctions are often implemented or changed at short notice in reaction to significant world events; acts of terrorism, for example. Please note, the list of countries to which sanctions apply may change without notice.
To find out more e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
ASB's approach
ASB is committed to ensuring we comply with the applicable sanctions regulations. To make sure that our customers and ASB meet sanctions requirements, we undertake due diligence on:
- Our customers.
- Trade transactions.
- International payments.
As part of our due diligence process, customers may need to provide purpose of payment, supporting documents and additionally for businesses, specific information on ownership including counterparties or underlying parties.
The purpose of this due diligence is to ensure that we:
- Properly identify any sanctions risk represented by our customers, transactions and trade deals.
- Avoid our customers and ASB breaching an applicable sanctions regime as a result of conducting business with, for, on behalf of, or in relation to a designated entity.
Other information around payments and sanctions
It's also worth noting that whilst ASB performs due diligence and passes payments, those payments may still be stopped by one of the subsequent banks in the payment chain. The actions of those banks are outside ASB's control; they may request additional information, block the payment or even hold the payment.
Customers should take extra care when dealing with regions subject to sanctions, and whilst there is considerable information relating to sanctions on various external websites, we recommend customers seek professional advice before committing to business relationships in sanctioned countries.

Roadside Assistance for Women
Despite all the modern advances of our age, the first thought in a woman's mind when she steps out of her house is invariably related to her safety. It is a sad fact that women in India have grown into the habit of calculating their every move by first considering their safety, and then considering convenience or benefit.

Kylie Minogue has admitted that she may never have children.
Despite previously saying she wanted to become a mother and would consider adoption, the 45-year-old pop superstar has said she accepts that it might never happen.
"I don't know how many more times I can say, if it happens, it happens," Kylie told the Daily Mail. "But I think maybe part of this frame of mind I'm in, trying to be calm and accepting and at peace with where I am, is really acknowledging that it just might not be written on the pages for me.
Kylie has just released her 12th album
The Voice judge, who has released a staggering 55 singles and topped music charts around the globe, added that she was focussing the achievements she has made, rather than what she doesn't have.

"You can't have everything," she said. "So I'd rather just focus on what I have instead of what I don't have."
The Australian-born star is currently a judge on The Voice
Following her split from Spanish model Andres Velencoso in October 2013, Kiss Me Once singer Kylie opened up about how her life was taking a different course.

"Part of my new beginning this year is to accept having a baby of my own might not be for me, which carries sadness," Kylie told The Sun. "I'd consider adoption."
Kylie first rose to fame in the 80s
Kylie and the Andres were together for five years when they reportedly parted ways due to work commitments.
"The Andres break up was amicable but hard," she explained. "It would be lovely to find a person you're soul mates with forever."

The Melbourne-born star also spoke about her relationship with her younger sister Dannii Minogue, 42.

"We're close than ever now," revealed Kylie. "I think because we're getting older. But also especially through me being ill," she added, in reference to her 2008 cancer diagnosis.
"She's one of the few people who I can tell very little about my life and my world and how I'm feeling, and I know she understands. She gets it."

KAD/FBM/103 Firewire S200b bus monitor parser - 1 channel
Download Product Sheet register now
The KAD/FBM/103 monitors FireWire (IEEE 1394b) traffic. It acts as a leaf in the FireWire bus topology and to all other nodes on the bus, the link layer and transaction layer appear to be deactivated. The KAD/FBM/103 parses isochronous or asynchronous stream packets. All other traffic is ignored (configuration traffic, PHY packets and asynchronous transactions). Selected packets and associated tag information are stored in one of 65 triple-buffered parser slots. Each parser slot contains up to 1036 16-bit words: 1030 words of packet content; three words of timestamp information; one word containing the transaction number; one word containing the packet size; and one word containing buffer information. FireWire packets are parsed in two stages. First, packets are filtered to accept only isochronous and asynchronous stream packets (traffic with transaction code A16). Then the channel ID and message ID (third quadlet in the FireWire packet) are used to classify the packet and determine which of the 65 parser slots the packet is written to. Unique channel ID and message ID combinations can be targeted to any of the 64 available parser slots. Parser slot 0 may be configured to operate as a "catch all" slot where any channel and message IDs not mapped to specific parser slots will be routed.

Significance and Use
5.1 Aromatic content is a key characteristic of hydrocarbon oils and can affect a variety of properties of the oil including its boiling range, viscosity, stability, and compatibility of the oil with polymers.
5.2 Existing methods for estimating aromatic contents use physical measurements, such as refractive index, density, and number average molecular weight (see Test Method D3238) or infrared absorbance4 and often depend on the availability of suitable standards. These NMR procedures do not require standards of known aromatic hydrogen or aromatic carbon contents and are applicable to a wide range of hydrocarbon oils that are completely soluble in chloroform at ambient temperature.
5.3 The aromatic hydrogen and aromatic carbon contents determined by this test method can be used to evaluate changes in aromatic contents of hydrocarbon oils due to changes in processing conditions and to develop processing models in which the aromatic content of the hydrocarbon oil is a key processing indicator.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the aromatic hydrogen content (Procedures A and B) and aromatic carbon content (Procedure C) of hydrocarbon oils using high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers. Applicable samples include kerosenes, gas oils, mineral oils, lubricating oils, coal liquids, and other distillates that are completely soluble in chloroform at ambient temperature. For pulse Fourier transform (FT) spectrometers, the detection limit is typically 0.1 mol % aromatic hydrogen atoms and 0.5 mol % aromatic carbon atoms. For continuous wave (CW) spectrometers, which are suitable for measuring aromatic hydrogen contents only, the detection limit is considerably higher and typically 0.5 mol % aromatic hydrogen atoms.
1.2 The reported units are mole percent aromatic hydrogen atoms and mole percent aromatic carbon atoms.
1.3 This test method is not applicable to samples containing more than 1 mass % olefinic or phenolic compounds.
1.4 This test method does not cover the determination of the percentage mass of aromatic compounds in oils since NMR signals from both saturated hydrocarbons and aliphatic substituents on aromatic ring compounds appear in the same chemical shift region. For the determination of mass or volume percent aromatics in hydrocarbon oils, chromatographic, or mass spectrometry methods can be used.
1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific precautionary statements are given in 7.2 and 7.3.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.

July 18, 2011 17:40 ET
Board Concludes Icahn's Proposal Is Not in Best Interest of Stockholders
Board Concludes Icahn's Proposal Is Not in Best Interest of Stockholders
OAKLAND, CA--(Marketwire - Jul 18, 2011) - The Clorox Company (NYSE: CLX) today announced that the company's board of directors, in consultation with its independent legal and financial advisers, has unanimously determined that the continued implementation of the company's strategic plan is the best way to generate significant value for all Clorox stockholders. The board also determined that the unsolicited, conditional proposal from Icahn Enterprises L.P. ("Icahn") to acquire Clorox substantially undervalues the company.
"Our board has unanimously determined Mr. Icahn's unsolicited proposal is neither credible nor adequate," said Lead Director Gary Michael.
"At Clorox, we have a proven track record of delivering superior financial returns to our stockholders," said Chairman and CEO Don Knauss. "Importantly, over the last three years since the start of the global recession, Clorox's total stockholder return was 43 percent versus 10 percent for the S&P 500 and 34 percent for our comprehensive consumer packaged goods peer group."1
Clorox has a long history of consistently generating strong cash flow of 10 percent or more of net sales, which has been effectively deployed to increase the value of the company and reward Clorox stockholders. Since the beginning of fiscal year 2006, Clorox has returned more than $2.6 billion in cash to stockholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases.2 The company has increased total annual dividends paid to Clorox stockholders every year for the past 34 years, and the company has doubled the dividend from $1.20 to $2.40 per diluted share in the past five years.
"Clorox has leading brands that are well-positioned in their categories and continuing to gain market share," added Knauss. "In fact, on an all-outlet retail basis, our U.S. brands have gained significantly more market share than any other branded consumer products company, or private label, in our categories over the last three years."3
The board stated it is committed to continued stockholder value creation and the company's results speak to that. The board regularly evaluates opportunities given the dynamic nature of the company's industry and remains open to considering any credible plan to create significant stockholder value.
Knauss concluded, "We are confident that our centennial strategy, including our focus on consumer megatrends and returning excess cash to stockholders, is the right path to continue creating superior value for our stockholders."
The text of the response letter sent to Mr. Icahn is set forth below:
Goldman, Sachs & Co. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC are serving as financial advisers, and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz is legal adviser.

From Mount Crawford, Virginia, USA:
My 11-year-old son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes three weeks ago. We were told during our hospital admission at the University of Virginia that people diagnosed with type 1 diabetes usually have a genetic predisposition to the disease and that they have antibodies that can be triggered by what they think is probably a viral illness that destroys the islet cells in the pancreas. When we went to our follow-up appointment one week ago, we were told that our son carried no antibodies for type 1 diabetes. Our endocrinologist said this is rare and they usually don't see this. They repeated some more blood work for more specific testing but didn't really explain what for. Obviously, I will be in contact with them regarding the results but I don't understand what it means to not carry antibodies. All they told me is that it is a good thing because it makes my other children not at risk and my son's future children not at risk. Can just a viral illness kill the islet cells even if you have no antibodies? How often does this occur?
The antibody tests are only positive about 60 to 80% of the time. That does not mean this is not a case of autoimmune diabetes, only that the antibody levels were not high enough to show up on the blood samples. It would depend on which antibodies were actually tested and in which laboratory. For instance, if all four antibodies were tested, this would have more meaning than if only the most common islet cell antibody were tested. You can review this with the excellent team at the University. If the pancreas were closer to the surface and a biopsy were possible in a simple and safe fashion, it would be likely that there would be autoimmune attack cells present.
I'm not sure that I would agree with the notion that because there were no antibodies present in one child, the other children are less susceptible. This is mixing up genetic causation with specific antibodies and is a bit more of a leap that is correct.
Lastly, we do not know exact causes of diabetes. Viruses are one possibility. Other (unknown) environmental exposures are also a possibility, i.e., obesity, vitamin D insufficiency, chemicals. And, at the moment, both of these are not amenable to specific intervention since they are either unknown or unavailable.

Reports from WSJ seem to suggest that the iPhone 5 could be getting an 8-megapixel sensor when it launches this summer - and a Sony one at that.
The report comes after Walt Mossberg spoke with Sony's CEO, Sir Howard Stringer at the Talking Tech event at Carnegie Hall, with Stringer saying that: "Our best sensor technology is built in one of the (tsunami) affected factories. Those go to Apple for their iPhones…or iPads. Isn't that something? They buy our best sensors from us?" Stringer then went on to say: "[It] always puzzles me, "why would I make Apple the best camera?"
At the moment Apple goes to OmniVision for the sensors although this, as well as previous rumours, suggests that this may change. Stringer continued: "It "always puzzles me, why would I make Apple the best camera?"
Sony already makes its 8-megapixel Exmor R sensors for the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, so for the iPhone 5 to be top of the pile it'd make sense that Apple would want to look for something comparable.

Beautiful weather (sunny and 27 deg Celsius), we manage a couple day hikes, a valley bike ride, and swims in Lost Lake.
First hike was up to Brandywine Meadows. Generally, the fastest/easiest trail to get up to alpine meadows (excepting cheating by taking Whistler's lifts...), Brandywine trail seemed more tiring than previous trips. Perhaps we are getting older? But it was beautiful. Rewarded by a swim in Lost Lake upon our return.
|Brandywine Meadows -- view towards Mt. Garibaldi

|Arm shot proof we made it...
Next day, we decided to tackle the steep tough trail up to Wedgemount Lake/Glacier (1300 metres elevation gain). Tiring, but well worth it, with great views. It took us 7 hours return (including lunch and other stops). At the end, too tired to make it to Lost Lake for a swim.
|Wedgemount Lake and glacier
|Mountain wildflowers: "anemones"
Our last day we did an easy bike ride on the "Valley Trail" in Whistler. A couple hours cycling then a cooling off swim in Lost Lake.
It was great to get back up to the mountains. Unusual feeling to sleep on a stable (and huge) bed. We vegged-out on TV, enjoyed the ensuite laundry, and marvelled at the dishwasher (how quickly we forget such luxuries unavailable on Pelagia!).
Not sure when we will get back up to Whistler -- next Summer perhaps?

Critic - No.111
Director: Patty Jenkins
Casts: Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Robin Wright, Danny Huston
Language: English
Genre: Action / Adventure / Fantasy
'Wonder Woman' tracks the superhero's backstory when she was Diana, the princess and trained warrior in the Amazons. When a pilot crashes and tells of the conflict in the outside world, Diana leaves home to fight and end all wars, discovering her full powers and true destiny.
Patty Jenkins certainly must have been in pressure after series of mediocre films in the DC extended universe franchise. Even seasoned directors have been carried away by its grim and metaphysical nature but Jenkins has shrugged all the doubts by crafting a sensible and substantial DC flick with so much of heart.
Jenkins has understood the theoretical nuances of DC and has tried her best to stay faithful to it. Set in 20th century, we are introduced to some of the philosophical angle through the world of Amazons who are hidden by the Gods of Mount Olympus from the real world as a protection against the Ares, God of war.
Throughout the film, the moral line between good and evil, violence and love, life and death is being echoed through. Wonder Woman's character is consistent, poignant and heroic. When you minus off the Superhero aspect away, 'Wonder Woman' stands tall as a period war drama with so much of details and emotions.
Even in fight scenes in the Amazon, Jenkins has ensured that they are captured in great detail prowess of the lady warriors, tasteful manner without any distractions from heavy CGI works or gimmicky quick cuts. For the first time in DCEU, the superhero actually displays ethos rather than raging and regretting. Not perfect but quite relieving to see a well constructed action set pieces.
Unlike the other DC super hero flicks, 'Wonder Woman' has a few situational gags intelligently weaved into the screenplay that both lightens the proceedings and thickens the character.
Gal Gadot is charismatic, fiery and elegant. I couldn't imagine anyone in the role except her. Not only in exhilarating stunt sequences, she flexes her versatility in scenes that warrants complex emotions especially in the climax. Chris Pine is charming and apt as the superhero's own dashing 'hero'.
As much as it is substantially strong and unique, it enters a little into the cliché surface level love track sequences that get more duration than needed. This acts like a speed breaker at times. Despite the powerful pay off, the romantic angle could have been handled with more depth, provided the significant theme of love the film carries. In addition, the pre-climax scenes look abrupt and contrived.
Patty Jenkins not only have revived the DCEU franchise but also has stamped a feministic empowerment in it, putting all the other male superheroes to shame.
'Wonder Woman' reinvigorates the faith for
DC extended universe in a spectacular scale with its honest balance of philosophy, love and exhilarating action.

"This seventies-inspired look has a lot of movement to it. It's about creating very loose, random, and uneven curls—not perfection," hairstylist Serge Normant explains. To boost body, he sprayed Stephanie's mane with Meta Lush Volumizer (from his eponymous line) and used an iron to curl her locks away from her face.
Try This Use Garnier Fructis Style XXL Volume Inject Mousse on damp hair to give your waves weightless volume. Model Stephanie wears a Christopher Kane dress. Mina Ro Mina ring, $68. Alexis Bittar bracelet, $225.
"Since this style has lots of volume and texture, I like to leave the top part flat, smooth, and polished," Normant says. Chrishell has naturally curly hair, so he blow-dried the crown straight and applied a small dab of Serge Normant Meta Form Sculpting Pomade to give it a slight sheen. "Don't add too much product—the hair should still move when you're dancing," he notes.
Try This Paul Mitchell Soft Style Foaming Pommade fights frizz and contains aloe and jojoba to enhance shine. Model Chrishell wears a Marc Jacobs dress. Betsey Johnson earrings, $35. Gucci belt.
Instead of wearing your corsage on your wrist, pin it into your hair! "A flower makes a great statement accessory. The placement is completely up to you, so try pushing it way back behind your ear or letting it hang forward," Normant suggests. After affixing a fresh orchid and lily onto Taylor's head, he finished the style with a light mist of Serge Normant Meta Lu Hair Spray.
Try This Use Pantene Curly Hair Series Satin Hold Hairspray to keep hair in place without any stiffness or stickiness. Model Taylor wears a Cynthia Steffe dress, $295. Alexis Bittar ring, $155, and triple-band bangle bracelet, $225. Clara Kasavina crystal-encrusted bracelet, $135.

Ha Seok Jin admits he has no issues dating a co-worker
While there are many different styles of acting, as well as ways actors and actresses get ready for a role, it never hurts to be able to relate to the character you are suppose to portray. Although for some roles, trying to imagine or feel the emotions/mentality of their character may be difficult, for actor Ha Suk Jin, it would seem that identifying with his character Jung Suk from Let's Drink is not a problem (at least as far as romantic concerns go)! Ha Suk Jin candidly admitted that he understood and agreed with Jung Suk in that he too doesn't object to dating a co-worker!
In his current drama Let's Drink, actor Ha Suk Jin's character falls in love with his co-worker and in a recent interview with News 1, the actor went onto explain why he, like his character, does not see a problem with dating a co-worker.
When asked about how he himself felt about dating co-workers, Ha Suk Jin claimed, "I don't personally object to dating a colleague, in my case, it would be a question of whether I should date an actress or not. I think it can happen." However, even though he wouldn't mind dating a colleague, he admitted that he would oppose making the relationship public.
When Ha was further asked about his own dating style, he did admit that it would be different from that of his character in Let's Drink. Ha Suk Jin stated, "I see the partner's looks as a really superficial issue, Let's say I'm dating a woman who is my ideal type. But if she fixes her eyes with a smartphone app while we're dating, I would hate that."
Do you agree with Ha Suk Jin? Would you date a co-worker? Let us know below!
