You can imagine my surprise two days ago when I opened my Blogger dashboard and saw this:
Whoa there.
Well by golly, then that means this here post must be number ONE THOUSAND!
I don't often look at the number. As in, like, never.
What made me look two days ago?
I dunno.
But when you are writing post number ONE THOUSAND you can hardly ignore that fact and write about, you know, current events like my baby's poopy diapers (don't worry, you'll get that one soon) or about the gorgeous day we had today and how my boy and my baby girlie spent over an hour in the sun on a picnic blanket and and crunchy leaves playing and laughing while my heart burst into a million pieces because it cannot contain all the joy (well, I guess that was a freebie). Or about how my hubs is pretty much gone for two weeks straight to take exams for his Masters degree and I am alone with three kiddos again (you've heard that one before).
It's number 1000. It better be good.
Well, let me tell ya a thing about good.
There is only One who is good.
Only one who is good and only One who brings good. And it is to that One that I dedicate this post. To that One I dedicate my very life. To the the One that has poured so much goodness into my being (in the form of good times and challenging times, alike) that my heart truly at times feels it cannot contain it. The joy overflows. The gifts are abundant. The mercy unending. The grace undeserved. I have here one thousand stories of my everyday, in all it's beauty and ashes. One thousand stories that make up the very vapor that is this life that has been gifted to me, by God's grace and through His salvation.
One thousand stories of God's goodness.
He, too, makes my heart burst into a million pieces.
To my Jesus, thank you for these stories.
Halleluiah and Amen.

Over the past decade, the movement to spend money locally has taken off. From locally grown produce to coffee that was roasted in your own neighborhood, consumers are becoming more and more concerned with ensuring that the money they spend benefits their community. While the Federal government has been a little slower to catch on, there are many reasons why government agencies should leave program management to local contractors. Read on to learn why Federal agencies should entrust their program management to local government contractors.
Why Federal Agencies Should Entrust Program Management to Local Contractors
By investing in local government contractors, Federal agencies can have a positive impact in the communities that their programs are meant to serve. Partnering with contractors who know the lay of the land can allow programs to be better poised to be more competitive than ones that are run by outsiders who aren't familiar with local needs and don't have strong community ties. A local provider will be able to provide valuable insight into the needs of the community that they are serving and will likely also have a better grasp on the specific contract requirements as they have been through it before. Local contractors are also more likely to be invested in the project: after all, they are working in their home community so it behooves them to perform well and see a project through to success. They will also likely have pre-existing relationships with other agencies that will ensure smooth implementation of your program.
Local contractors can also be better equipped to deliver programs management efficiently, effectively, and will often be better able to respond to the needs of the program. And when it comes to pricing, bids from contractors who are familiar with the lay of the land will often be a more realistic estimate of the budget that will be required to deliver the program effectively.
Furthermore, keeping money in the local economy can actually have a positive impact on the program itself. By creating local jobs and keeping tax dollars in the target areas served, the program can improve the economic self-sufficiency of a community. This lessens the burden on social service agencies and provides long-lasting benefits to communities that are in need of assistance.

15-Week Program
Elective classes at SLTC are one way to make yourself a more attractive candidate for employment. There are additional costs for all elective classes not included in the ELP, and space is limited. See our tuition & fees page for more info. Sign-ups for the elective classes in each session are limited. Enrollment is offered on a first come, first served basis. SLTC graduates unable to secure one of the crane operator certification slots will have the opportunity to attend the class at a future date at the same cost.
SLTC provides this training and certification on our campus. A number of states and utility companies require certification for the operation of digger derricks and/or cranes. Although crane certification is not mandatory for employment with these companies, an applicant with the certification would be a more valuable employee.
Each enrollee will receive a minimum of 24 hours of classroom instruction and a minimum of 8 hours available practice time followed by a written exam and crane truck practical exam. Upon successful completion of the written and practical exams, students will receive the nationally recognized CIC Accredited Operator Certification from the Crane Institute of America.

Alice's Mango Tea!
"How doth the little crocodile improve his shining tail and pour the waters of the Nile on every golden scale?" -Lewis Carroll The Mango tea was not as impressive as the Blueberry tea. Sorry, Caterpillar. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't super. The mango flavor was noticeable, but not overwhelming, which does make it similar… Read more »
Alice's Blueberry Tea
Ah, sweet blueberries! This tea had a nice mellow flavor. The blueberry was toned down and not at all tart. Fragrant, but not overly sweet, more in the way of blueberry muffin scent. I think this one's a keeper. I'd buy a box of it all by itself. The mad March Hare is featured on… Read more »
Alice's Lemon Honey Chamomile Tea

First Weekend as a Family
Saturday, March 21, 2009
It allowed Mom to get to know her first grand baby, to take care of her daughter, to get closer to Zach, and to know Charlotte better. The whole experience was a great bonding time not just for Zach and I with Kye but for all of us with Mom! I'm so lucky to have the amazing mother I have who is willing to drop everything and take care of her little girl!
Our first weekend as a family was a pretty eventful one! Of course Levi coming home on Saturday was a HUGE excitement for me! I think him coming home ended my adrenaline rush from delivery because after he was home I became SO tired!
I had told Zach to save my push present until he went back to work and I was alone with the baby because I knew I'd need a pick-me-up during that time. But he was DYING to give it to me so I let him :) I really thought he'd get me something in the baby's birth stone. But I married a smart man! He was worried Kye would be born in February and it'd screw up the gift so he got me something even better! BROWN SALT WATER PEARLS!!!
On my 21st birthday I went to St Augustine with Dad, Brandon, and my Dad's wife at the time (Stella). While there I saw these beautiful brown pearls and I fell in love. The guy said he'd give me a great deal for them and I showed them to Dad and told him how much I loved them. Well later that day Dad said he'd "be right back" so I thought for sure he'd gone to get them for me for Christmas. Christmas came and went and no pearls. So since then Zach's been looking high and low for some! And FINALLY almost four years later I have them! They are so so pretty and so worth the wait :)
The nursery lady wasn't very nice and it bothered me that she completely ignored Zach. I know a lot of men aren't very involved but Zach is VERY involved and at that point was taking care of Kye more than I was so he really knew more than I did about the child but when Zach spoke she pretty much just kept looking at me.
They weighed him and he did lose some weight, but that's normal. He went from 7lb 6oz to 6lb 13oz. She went over some tips for more successful breastfeeding (I will be having a VERY involved breastfeeding post soon). And the best tip she gave us was that she let her kids sleep in their car seats sometimes! We tried it that night. Haven't done it much since but it did help him some with his gas! They also checked him for jaundice. We thought he for sure had it but they said he didn't! So good news all around!
Aunt Karen stopped by after church on Sunday and said they made a nice announcement about Kye's birth and that it was also in the pink sheet. I wish we could have gone!!!
Mom planned to leave on Sunday but said she could stay longer if I needed her too. I felt MUCH better on Sunday so she helped me get the house in order and stayed for Kye's FIRST bath! I'm so glad she got to be here for such a big first! He did a great job and even let me file his nails. We haven't done that since because it was dumb! They were still sharp! I just bite them off. I'm honestly not afraid of hurting him (again I think it helps that I've cut the dogs nails a MILLION times) and I do it usually while he's breastfeeding or being changed. He doesn't even mind it! Even though I bite them down we still leave him in mittens pretty much all the time because we really, really don't want him scratching and as soon as you take them off his fingers go right to his mouth!
Bathing him was really easy...a lot easier than I thought it would be. He really loved the warm cotton balls on his face and we've done that throughout the day as he will get milk all over himself and be all sticky!
After she left, we had our first alone family time! It was pretty exciting and a good feeling to know that this is it. It's always the three of us now no matter what! We took our whole family on a walk around the circle. I still had to walk pretty slowly because I was so stiff but it felt awesome to get outside and Kye loved being pushed in the stroller!

The Bible's Most Important Word
I love posting a seemingly random or controversial question on Facebook and allowing dialogue to take place. The other day on Facebook, I posed this question: "What is the most important word in the Bible?" I got a lot of great responses. My favorite, perhaps, was wine, but I digress. Some of the most popular were love, trust, Jesus, grace, follow, and believe. And all important words. But I want to suggest (and open for more dialogue) another word for the most important. The word is...
And maybe it comes as more as a concept than an actual word, but in that concept of redemption is love, grace, mercy, forgiveness, renewal, and yes, Jesus. The over-arching narrative of the scriptures is how God is redeeming creation. Sin is at work in the world. We are broken people. Creation cries out and groans to be redeemed. Jesus is God's redemptive plan for creation. The mission of God has been working towards the redemption of creation. Jesus came to inaugurate the Kingdom of God and will come again for redemption and the Kingdom to be fully realized.
Two books I've read that do a great job of showing this are The Mission of God: Unlocking the Bible's Grand Narrative by Christopher J.H. Wright and Announcing the Kingdom: The Story of God's Mission in the Bible by Arthur F. Glasser. I would recommend either for someone to read to grasp the scope and unity of the Bible.
If you could pick one word for the most important word in the scriptures, what would it be? Redeem? or something else?

NEW YORK, March 1, 2017 – Y-mAbs Therapeutics, Inc. (YmAbs), an immunotherapy company discovering and developing innovative treatments for patients with cancer, today announced that 131I-8H9 for the treatment of Refractory Leptomeningeal Metastasis from Neuroblastoma has been designated an orphan drug by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
The filing for this status was completed as part of an overall plan to expand the European development and obtain orphan drug protection for 131I-8H9 to treat Refractory Leptomeningeal Metastasis from Neuroblastoma.
Under the EMA's Regulation (EC) No. 141/2000 an orphan drug designation gives companies access to protocol assistance and guidance on preparing a dossier that will meet European regulatory requirements and thereby maximize the chance of success at the time of marketing authorization. Once approved, an orphan drug is also granted 10 years of market exclusivity during which directly competitive similar products cannot normally be placed on the market.
The EMA grants orphan drug designation based upon several criteria: the life threatening and debilitating nature of the condition; the medical plausibility of the proposed orphan indication; a prevalence in Europe of less than 5 cases for each 10,000 of population; no satisfactory method of diagnosis, prevention or treatment exists or if such method exists the medicinal product will be of significant benefit to those affected by that condition.
YmAbs Founder, President and Head of Business Development and Strategy, Thomas Gad said, "We are very pleased that the EMA has granted orphan drug designation to 131I-8H9 which gives us various development incentives".
Dr. Claus Møller, Chief Executive Officer further notes, "The orphan designation strengthens our chances of bringing 131I-8H9 to patients who desperately need alternative methods of treatment. Further, the designation marks a substantial milestone in YmAbs' expansion into European development."
About YmAbs:
YmAbs is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing new cancer treatments through immunotherapies. In addition, YmAbs utilizes its platform technologies to create next-generation humanized, affinity matured bispecific antibodies targeting GD2 and B7H3. To further improve our bispecific antibodies, we are collaborating on the development of a novel human protein tag that dimerizes T-cell engaging bispecific antibodies, which enables higher tumor binding and results in a longer serum half-life and a significantly greater T-cell mediated killing of tumor cells. Our treatments could potentially reduce longer-term toxicities associated with current chemotherapeutics and provide the potential for curative therapy even for patients with widespread disease. YmAbs' goal is to drive multiple product candidates in select solid tumor cancers to FDA licensure. Each candidate has the potential to treat a variety of high-risk cancers.

The Archbishop of Mexico City has asked the Virgin of Guadalupe to touch the "hard heart" of Donald Trump so that he will be "generous and fair" with Mexican immigrants.
On the feast of Mexico's patron saint, the Blessed Virgin of Guadalupe, Cardinal Norberto Rivera celebrated Mass at the Basilica of Guadalupe, and during his homily implored the Virgin Mary for the conversion of the President-elect:
"Oh, Mother of Mercy! Move the hearts of Americans to accommodate those who, with their hard work, have given prosperity to their country, and touch the hardened heart of the new President-elect who, as a Christian as he claims to be, must not see the poor and immigrants as enemies, but as brothers and sisters with whom he should be tolerant, generous and fair."
In his invocation for migrants, the Cardinal prayed for the U.S. Bishops, "that they might defend the sheep that God has sent them."
In his litany of petitions to Mexico's patroness, Rivera prayed especially for the consolation of mothers who fear for the separation of their families.
"Strengthen parents who agonize over the possibility of losing their jobs; comforts the mothers who fear seeing their families separated; give hope to young people who do not want to abandon their studies; encourages families that are economically dependent on remittances from their loved ones," he said.
In his petition, Mexico City's Archbishop also asked the Virgin Mary to watch over Mexico itself, which is "ill from violence and wounded by injustices."
"Move the heart of the violent and sinners; protect families; preserve our Catholic faith; give those who govern us a vocation to service," he said.
The national shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe where the Cardinal celebrated Mass on Sunday has been visited by some 8 million pilgrims this year, coming from all over Mexico as well as from foreign lands.

Think you're getting a great deal on wild salmon? What you could be getting is swindled, suggests a report released Wednesday by the nonprofit watchdog group Oceana. Seafood fraud and mislabeling is rampant across the industry, says the report, and it occurs at every step of the process—from fishing boat or farm to grocery stores and restaurants.
To examine the prevalence of seafood fraud around the world, Oceana reviewed more than 200 previously published studies from 55 countries. Combined, these studies had tested more than 25,000 samples of seafood.
On average, about 20 percent of those samples were marketed as something other than what they really were. What's more, 58 percent of the fake samples turned out to be species that could pose health risks because of parasites, environmental chemicals, higher allergy risks, or other potential dangers.
The results were consistent, too: Every study but one found evidence of seafood fraud at some point in the supply chain, whether it happened during landing, packaging, processing, import or export, distribution, wholesale, or retail.
In the United States, the rate of fraud was even higher than the global estimate: about 28 percent, according to a combination of studies published since 2014. Here, the fish most likely to be mislabeled were snapper, grouper, and salmon.
"Sometimes a lower-value fish is swapped in, like a farmed tilapia or Asian catfish," says Beth Lowell, Oceana's seafood fraud campaign director. (The report found that, globally, Asian catfish was substituted for 18 different types of higher-priced fish.) "Other times it's a similar type of fish that may have a different conservation status or catch limits." In 2015, for example, a Santa Monica sushi restaurant was caught selling endangered whale meat as fatty tuna.
Passing off farmed salmon as wild-caught is also very common in the United States, says Lowell. Along with the full report, Oceana published an interactive map of fraud findings around the country, and around the world, on its website.
Lowell says that seafood fraud can be difficult to catch at the consumer level—which is why Oceana and other organizations are fighting for better regulations and more accountability within the industry. But until those policies are adopted, she says, here are a few things you can do to reduce your chances of buying fraudulent fish:
Buy as close to the whole fish as possible
"The more times seafood changes hands or travels down a complex supply chain, the more opportunities there are for seafood fraud," says Lowell. Plus, it's easier to pass off parts of fish—like a fillet with the scales and head removed—as different species. "Buying a whole fish from the market and having them prepare it for you is one good way to know what you're getting," Lowell adds.
Ask questions at the counter or the table
Whether you're in a restaurant or at the supermarket, make sure the people selling you seafood can tell you where and how it was caught. "If they can't give you basic information about the product, you might want to get something else," says Lowell.
Consider the price
"If you see wild Pacific salmon selling for $6.99 a pound, it might not actually be wild Pacific salmon," says Lowell. "If the price seems too good to be true, a lot of times it is."
Choose brands that trace their seafood
Plenty of restaurants—and even supermarket chains like Wegman's and Whole Foods—require the seafood they sell to be responsibly sourced and traced from start to finish, and should be able to provide consumers with this information. When buying prepackaged frozen seafood, look for this information on the labels, as well. "Some brands use QR codes you can scan to see the path the fish has taken to get to your plate," says Lowell.
Support the fight for better legislation
Some of these fraudulent cases occurred because the laws that do exist are not well enforced. Others are completely legal.
For example, 66 different species can be be sold as grouper in the United States, making it nearly impossible for people to know what they're buying. "Though laws were not broken in these cases," the report states, "vague labeling rules potentially cheat consumers, harm their health, or make them unwitting accessories to fishing or aquaculture practices that are illegal or harm the environment."
In all circumstances, better legislation is needed, says Lowell. Earlier this year, a presidential task force proposed a rule that would require traceability for 13 "at-risk" types of seafood from when they're caught or harvested until they reach the United States border. While that's a good first step, says Lowell, this report shows that it's still not enough.
"The fight against seafood fraud must include all seafood and extend from boat to plate," she says. "It shouldn't be this hard for consumers to know what fish they're eating and have confidence with what's on the label or on the menu."

Messy Dog Art
I came across the messy dog art of M.C. Williams whilst browsing my Youtube subscriptions (I'm subscribed to tags like 'art' so I can see new art related videos as they are posted) and was completely blown away by the colour and personality of these delightful paintings.
I think the video above speaks for its self however if you'd like to see more messy dog art (and maybe even buy some) visit the artists ebay store.
Williams promotes these paintings as ideal for kids (to hang in their bedrooms I presume) but as someone who is a dog lover I'd be more than happy to place one of these artworks prominently in my home for guests to enjoy.

Thank you king of elegant feline paintings. Coming from you, a put-up for messydog means a whole lot!ReplyDelete
I love the movement in your feline pieces, its beautiful the way you can illicit that for your audience. Nice work. Keep up the great information on this blog.
That's quite okay messydog. I really liked the style of your dogs. Far more character and personality than I think you'd get using a more realistic style.ReplyDelete
Very cute - I love the flower ones. I had a quick look at the ebay site. They are good for something different, very appealing. I liked the music to go with the video too.ReplyDelete

Theorising Social Work Research
Doctoral and advanced studies in Social Work Seminar topics
Doctoral and advanced studies in social work 15th November 1999, Warwick
Doctoral Study in an Advanced Post Vicky White, Department of Social Policy and Social Work, University of Warwick
My brief is to provide a short contribution to the seminar focusing on the experience of undertaking a PhD whilst in an academic post.
I have been a part-time doctoral student in the Department of Social Policy and Social Work for four years, during which I have been researching women social workers' experiences of practice in statutory settings. I am employed as a half-time Lecturer in Social Work in the same Department. As for any other part-time doctoral student, there are advantages and disadvantages in combining a doctorate with other work, but my specific experience relates to being a student and a worker in the same institution. My experience of this dual status as an 'insider/outsider' has been a positive one, in the main.
One of the main advantages of being an insider has been that I have gained entry easily to a number of areas. Other PhD students might have found it more difficult to secure access to these areas. For example, my insider position provided information about possible participants in my case study of women social workers in three Social Services Departments. It enabled me to locate women social workers who were interested in participating in the research, via my involvement in the provision of a Practice Teaching Award Programme. This then made a useful link for my PhD between Social Work Education and Training and the statutory context which was the focus of my research.
Working in a university department also gave me easy access to relevant texts and documentary material, particularly from CCETSW and from the Practice Teaching Consortium, which was the site of my case study.
The main disadvantage of having dual status in relation to undertaking the fieldwork for my project was that I was probably not as probing in my role as a researcher as an outsider would have been, particularly in relation to practitioners' use of social work terminology and the meanings they attached to it. This was due to my background knowledge of, and involvement in, the organisational cultures of the three Social Services Departments.
With regard to my dual status within an academic department, I would highlight four disadvantages:
- Not belonging to the doctoral student group. I think it is problematic for academic staff who are undertaking PhDs to try and belong to the student peer group. Instead, support comes from my immediate supervisor and departmental colleagues.
- Employment in a university department exerts enormous pressure to complete the PhD within four years!
- Tensions between my job and the PhD. My half-time job often spills over into the other half of the week, which is supposed to be reserved for the PhD.
- PhDs are a low priority on the academic work agenda. The pressure is to research and publish on a shorter time-scale than that encompassed by undertaking a PhD.
Despite these disadvantages, I would not seek to dissuade academic staff from undertaking a doctorate in social work. At the end of the day, for me the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a large baking dish and set aside.
Place the crabmeat in a large bowl and season with the Essence. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions, celery, and bell peppers and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the parsley and the garlic, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool.
Add the cooled vegetables to the crabmeat and toss to combine. Add the mayonnaise, egg, lemon juice, Worcestershire and hot sauce and stir gently with a large wooden spoon. Add 1 cup of the cracker crumbs, the salt, and pepper, and stir gently, being careful not to break up the crabmeat.
Mound about 2 tablespoons of the crabmeat stuffing into each shrimp, press gently to close, and place, stuffed sides up, in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of the flaky, buttery cracker crumbs over the stuffed shrimp and drizzle with the remaining melted butter. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes.
While the shrimp are baking, heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the olive oil. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring continuously, for 1 minute. Add the kale and saute until the kale is just wilted, about 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the kale on 4 plates. Remove the shrimp from the oven and divide among plates, on top of the kale. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

The only reason I'm drinking this beer is because of my friend and collaborator Derek's review earlier this week. After reading it I was compelled to find the beer (and try it), but unfortunately couldn't find it anywhere. Eventually I was able to track some down and after a late night mission, had some cooling in my beer fridge.
I'm not going to go into great depth about this beer, Derek already did a fantastic job in his review. I will say this is one of the best smelling IPA's I've come across. The citrus on the nose is absolutely over the top. I was smelling orange rind, grapefruit and lime… just amazing! I thought the taste didn't quite live up to the promise of the smell, but this is still an excellent beer. Like Derek, I'd like to see this end up in the regular rotation.
I also want to give a shout out to friend and collaborator Shannon, who hand etched some very nice Craft. Beer. Social. pint glasses for the crew. I was determined to be the first to log a review in the new glass and it looks like I pulled it off. 😉
Taste: B+. The smell alone almost got this into the A-range.
Drinkability: B+. This is a pretty big beer. I'm not slurring my speech, but I'm close.
Vital Stats: ~45F into my beautiful CBS glass. 7.85% ABV. 63.21 IBUs.
Edit: I was reminded that friend and collaborator Bill was actually the first to suggest this might be a good beer to seek out. Maybe it was the photo he included in his missive that caused me to erase the recommendation from my memory?

Last Thursday through Monday, I flew down with my Torontonian Australian Rules Football team for a weekend partyfest.
- It was bizarre seeing how segregated the workforce was between white people and minorities. The cleaning staff at my hotel just stared at us like lost puppies when we made a request.
- We sneaked onto UT Longhorn's playing field. (photo)
- Next day some of us watched a UT women's volleyball game vs. Colorado. I felt like I was watching a cult ceremony. For volleyball. (photo)
- Avoid 6th street.
- Gingerman needs a Toronto location.
- Properly tried bourbon for the first time at Club DeVille. Still prefer rye.
- Saw White Denim at Mohawk.
- Followed up with Future of the Left at Beauty Bar. Don't remember a thing because they didn't go on until 1AM.
- Both of the above bands are in Toronto next week, but I couldn't get a ticket to the sold out Built to Spill/Dinosaur Jr. gig!
- I have no SMS history between 2:20AM and 3:44AM on Saturday. The 3:44AM message seems to indicate I met people. Don't have a dozen drinks starting at 2PM when you weigh less than 150lbs.
- Aussie's Grill and Beach Bar was the location of the first time I ever witnessed someone skol a margarita.
- 16oz. ribeye at Austin Land & Cattle Co. was excellent even if my stomach wouldn't let me finish.
- Coyote Ugly on 6th was likely the most embarrassed lately I've felt for another human being. I felt less so after witnessing the amount of money milked from my group from those bartenders. Faux-lesbianism while feeding cheap beer followed by expensive shots is business savvy right there. They called me McLovin' but were too dense to notice I walked out without paying for three drinks.
- Didn't find the time to eat proper Mexican or Texan BBQ, but did hit some late night Kebabalicious.
After four nights, I don't think I got the full Austin, Texas experience.

Gambia's President Adama Barrow said his vice presidential nomination is in conformity with the Gambia's constitution.
Constitutional controversy was sparked after Mr. Barrow named former health minister and UN official Fatoumata Tambajang as his vice presidential pick.
Pro-democracy watchdogs relied on a Wikipedia page to argue that Mrs. Tambajang's appointment is an outlier from the constitution and called for her nomination to be rescinded.
The Gambia's constitution bars does that are above the age of 65 from being president or vice president. Tambajang's age according to activists is 67.
An oversight committee set up by President Barrow to vet all cabinet picks have cleared her after she submitted documents.
Barrow has suspended the announcement of all cabinet appointments pending their confirmation by the committee.
The new president is scheduled to be in the capital, Banjul to take over power. West African forces have secured the presidential compound, The State House ahead of his arrival.

We are Andy and Betsy Boone, happy farmers in Lorimor, Iowa. After meeting and marrying in Nevada City, California, we dreamed of having a farm where we could raise our family along with our own high quality, thoughtful food. Our days centered on a progressive food culture and quality of life. We lived and worked together on produce farms while Andy worked solo for both a raw cow and a raw goat dairy. His passion for animal husbandry and intensive pasture management began! We raised our own meat and produce and knew we had never lived so abundantly in all our lives.
With this desire strong in our hearts, we looked towards Iowa. Iowa offered a promise of affordable living, green grass, and family support. We took a chance, moved our little family and began the dream.
We found our acreage with enough property to continue raising small meat animals like we did in California and quickly started building our flock of sheep and upped our pig production. We began milking La Mancha goats for our family and because Andy enjoys working with dairy animals. We love raw milk!
We take care to personally raise all our animals with humane practices. We believe ruminant animals were only meant to eat grass, naturally grazing in the open. We feed the pigs with quality, organic, soy-free feed. Andy has been experimenting with DYI fodder (trays of grass) systems for all the animals in hopes of having fresh grass to eat year-round. So far, the pigs are receiving the greatest benefit.
We are passionate about raising nutrient-dense food for our family and our community. This spring we'll cultivate our home garden of nutritive produce and medicinal herbs. This should keep the whole family plenty busy when we're not working off-property and attending the farmers market. We love teaching our kids the value of growing our own food and being good stewards of our animals and the environment. We are Fat Pasture Farm!

Storms rake MS
BY SUSAN KIM | LAUREL, MS | March 16, 2002
Severe thunderstorms pounded central Mississippi late Friday and early Saturday, with a possible twister in Laurel destroying two homes and ripping the roof off a high school. Several additional homes in Laurel were damaged.
Laurel is located in Jones County where, according to Jones County emergency management, no warnings were issued before the storm struck. It formed so suddenly that normal warnings were not issued.
In addition to the damages in Laurel, there could be undiscovered rural damage, since a possible tornado was tracked from rural Rankin County into Scott County. Another was sighted moving from south of Jackson in Hinds County to north of Brandon.

In pottery scouts made pots, engraved tablets, and other clay objects, and in leather working they made belts, neckerchief sliders, and bracelets. All in all, the scouts had fun and enjoyed the trip.

Wednesday at the White House press briefing, several members of the press grilled press secretary Josh Earnest over recent examples of the administration "tip-toeing" around naming Christian or Jewish victims but rushing to the defense of Muslims.
It started with Fox News chief White House correspondent Ed Henry pressing Earnest on the difference between the president's statement on the killing of three Chapel Hill Muslim college students, mentioning their faith before the investigation has even concluded motive, as compared to the administration's statement on ISIS' mass beheading of 21 Coptic Christians on a Libyan beach, which failed to mention their faith.
Next, White House correspondent and political analyst for The Daily Banter Tommy Christopher challenged Earnest to task over State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf's willingness to discuss "militant Christian organizations" on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" this morning when the administration refuses to use the term radical Islam.
Finally, George Condon, the White House correspondent for National Journal said, "You do seem to be tip toeing around who the victims are."
Earnest tried his best to rebuke the claims, repeating several times that the White House strongly condemns attacks on people based on their faith.

So last night we had a great practice.. dress rehearsal, things were going very well. One of our back spots was practicing her backhandspring, and something didn't feel right. Long story short, she's got a badly sprained elbow and is out for 4-6 weeks which takes us clear through the remainder of the season.

This weekend is the Warrior Challenge and just 2 weeks later is the "big show" - NCCC & Knight's Duel. (!!) Awesome news regarding this weekend - due to so many teams registering, the competition has been broken down into Small Varsity and Large Varsity. So there are 7 teams competiting in our division, most are very good programs, so it will be a challenge, but I plan on us holding our own.
We've been working hard to prepare f...Read Full Post »

That's interesting We lost 2 full weeks of practice during Christmas and New Year's break because of no school and snow cancellations, otherwise we would be fine to compete Saturday -- which is pretty awesome because we are rarely ready this early in the season.
We made huge progress yesterday at practice... we were able to run the entire competition cheer with stunts. We were able to run the actual dance sequence (the VE...Read Full Post »

Well, will only 3 games left our Fall season is winding down. We've been lucky enough that the weather has really been on our side this season. Last Friday night's game was our first really cold game. This Friday should be equally as cold (if not colder), but we really can't complain. We've remained dry, it hasn't snowed, and for the most part it's been pretty warm. We even got to wear our skirts 1 & a half games this year -- which is an improvement over the last couple of years!Read Full Post »

So I'll just sound off about the changes that came last night.
We were presented with a new scoring rubric. You can now score tenths of a point (they started this last year but the score sheet up was updated to reflect it) which is good b/c realistically there IS a difference between a 5.5 and a 5.9 and that should be acknowledged.
The biggest changes were in the breakdowns of stunting, motions/dance, and tumbling. What used to be 10 point categories are now broken down into 2 ca...Read Full Post »

Tokyo robot revue drawing crowds at cabaret
TOKYO (Reuters) - In a restaurant down an alley in one of
Tokyo's best-known red light districts, four massive female
robots wink and wave as they lumber to the beat of traditional
Japanese drums and a Lady Gaga dance tune. It's show time at
the "Robot Restaurant," a new and high-tech take on the city's
decades-old cabaret scene that puts a friendly, if unusual,
face on the robot technology in which Japan is a world leader.

text: Marcia Angell, former editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, thinks the influence of pharmaceutical companies has grown too large in our academic institutions. "The boundaries between academic medicine—medical schools, teaching hospitals, and their faculty—and the pharmaceutical industry have been dissolving since the 1980s, and the important differences between their missions are becoming blurred. Medical research, education, and clinical practice have suffered as a result."

Angel Death, by Patrician Moyes, a Henry Tibbet mystery. I am generally mildly fond of these, but this one is not in the top 20 list of her books I like. For perspective, I believe she only wrote 19 of the Tibbet books.
Above Suspicion, Helen MacInnes, this is her first, published in 1941, set in Germany just before the invasion of Poland. It's *very* anti Germany, understandably given the time frame, and it's also a really good read. Really, really good. If you're hitting WW2 in your history studies, I'd add this to your free reads at the same time.
Just David– I kind of liked this and I kind of didn't. IT's hard to explain. It's by the author of Pollyanna, and there's a lot that is sweet and admirable. But there's a lot that I find deeply disturbing, and that stuff is a bit more subtle , so it's harder not to absorb it, especially for young readers. Also, I find the father's judgement horrifyingly irrational, and his decisions are irresponsible. In real life a child brought up like David would be a deeply traumatized youngster. You've also got the old hereditary determinism which would grow up shortly thereafter to become fullblown eugenics. You've got a strange notion of a Christianity completely without Christ, and what bothers me most about this one is how it seems to have just gone right over the heads of a good many Christian readers I respect. We have a completely unrealistic view of the child nature. Also, there are notions I find incompatible with reality, such as the harshly critical attitude toward hunting even for food, because the animals wouldn't want to be dead-
particularly since it doesn't really seem like the boy or his father are actually vegans.
The father has taught him a charming notion about life as an orchestra where everybody has a part to play and if you don't do your part you make the orchestra out of tune. I did like that theme very much. However, he never conveys to the child that many people *want* to be out of tune, and sometimes we are in that discordant group who choose discordancy out of our own selfishness, because that not be in keeping with his (and the author's?) notions of children as essentially perfect and unspoiled by any selfish tendencies of their own they might just have naturally.
In the beginning of the book we have young David being raised by his father alone in a mountain cabin with no contact with the outside world except the occasional necessary meeting witha delivery boy or a village worker they have to meet. He never is allowed to have any real conversations with anybody but his father. He is never permitted to know that death exists, he doesn't even know what it is, nor does has he heard of much of anything unpleasant, including sin or the redemptive work of Christ, or Christ period- I harp on this because this is a book often promoted as a Christian book, but he religion in it is more akin to something like Buddhism.
By choice the boy's father has left the 'civilized world' and determined to bring the boy up with no exposure to anything but goodness (as determined by the father) or anything unpleasant at all. Music is the center of their lives and both father and son are gifted violinists. The father falls ill and they hastily pack everything up and head down the mountain to return to society, but while far frmo their cabin but still in a small hamlet much out of the minstream, the father collapses and dies and leaves this poor child alone and totally ignorant of the ways of the world. He does not even know his own surname, so nobody can look for relatives. His dad does manage to hastily hand over a large amount of gold coins he tells the boy to hide on his person (never mind the sheer weight of that amount of solid gold), and then he's gone.
It's sheer luck that anybody takes the boy in at all instead of shipping him off to an orphanage, and tht his gold doesn't get found and stolen, or any number of other things likely to befall such a naive child left on his own who doesn't know his own name, but then again, everything that happens is to the boy's benefit and it's all sheer luck and, of course, like Pollyanna, everybody eventually falls in love with him and finds him irresistable. He is a darling character, regardless of how unrealistic he is. The people he meets are interesting and have interesting backstories of their own. I don't hate it, I just… find it frustrating.
Bark of the Bog Owl– this is the first in a trilogy, and the only one I've read. It's an interesting reclothing of the DAvid story in the Bible, only it's set here in a fictional kingdom more like Wales and Scotland. I found it an enjoyable read, and I expect kids of around 11-14 or so would like it, too, probably even younger, especially as a read aloud. The correlation between the Kind David story and this one is not heavy handed, but if you know the David story it is soon obvious (I hadn't realized this when I started). I would like to read the next two. My favourite part is the Feechie people, and I understand there's more of them in the second book.
Omnilingual: a fun H. B. Piper short story about a race against time as space archeologists are trying to find the key they need to decode an ancient Martian language before the imminent destruction of the long abandoned city. It's pretty cool. Your teens should read it.

My Support Crew
Every athlete has a support crew.
Often times these are people who take a back seat to the glory that the athlete gets. They are like the stage crew of a play. Or all the volunteers you see at races.
I know what these people mean.
I have an awesome support crew.
I come up with some crazy ideas…like running a race per month for 2014; but no matter what I come up with, my crew is up for the challenge.
My #1 has to be my husband, Aron.
He's usually pretty ready to jump into any adventure I come up with.
Earlier this year we made a backpacking trip into the wilderness in the Bighorns. We had a goal to summit Bomber Mountain. We took the same trip last year, but weather stopped us from summiting. This year was a different story. We were able to summit with all 3 fur-kids, but we hit a snag coming down which led to Aron carrying Chocolate Dog off the mountain.
He was a trooper taking her down; and she was completely thankful when we got back onto the real trail.
Aron runs some. He's done a couple half marathons and some 5ks and 10ks, but he just hasn't found the love and passion for it yet. He occasionally joins me on runs. If they're short and slower paced he'll run. If they're longer he'll ride a bike with me while I run.
My parents come right behind Aron in the support.
My mom was there with me when I started and finished my first half marathon. She has always been ready to contribute to my crazy ideas. A few days after I launched Two Little Feet she was calling me with all sorts of ideas…t-shirts, posters, etc.
My mom has been on a few of my training runs with me. Earlier this year she met me on the mountain at zero dark thirty to keep me company and safe on a 12 mile jaunt I had. She rode my mountain bike while I ran.
Any time we can, we all meet on the Bighorns to get some activity under our belts. It could be hiking in the spring, Christmas tree hunting, snowshoeing or skiing in the winter.
Both my parents are still in wildland fire, so our summers are usually non-existent, unless of course we're meeting each other somewhere out there on the fireline.
Mom and Dad run races too. Our annual race tends to be the Canyonlands Half Marathon in Moab in March. Dad ran the very first one back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and so it's always fun to keep going back to that one. I don't think I've ever ran a more pretty road race!
Mom made the mistake of telling me she wanted to do a half marathon once. Well Mom, DONE!
This year Mom and I will run the Mickelson Trail Half Marathon together in Deadwood, SD in June. Now you really can't bail Momma!
Dad just asked me today "Do any of your races have 5ks or 10ks with them?" I'm absolutely thrilled that he wants to run too! I can't wait to see what 2014 brings. It will bring lots of miles, smiles and new shoes! 🙂
My little sister, Eddie has always been a big supporter and reminder of my uncle. She was named after him. My parents named her Eddie Michelle in case when she got older she didn't like Eddie, but I couldn't imagine calling her anything BUT
butthead Eddie.
I hope to see her out there this year! Whether it be running or spectating!
Of course my fur-kids always are ready to support my running addiction.
I can't wait to log some miles with everyone on the support crew this coming year. There will be plenty of miles to go around.
