My eighth- grade English teacher was, and remains, a force of nature. A redheaded dynamo of petite proportions who has taught generations of San Luis Obispo kids, she brooks no sass while finding humor and laughter wherever she sets her gaze.
I speak of my good friend Peggy Peterson.
Peggy and her late husband, the widely admired and beloved Gerry, are principal reasons why we have the San Luis Obispo Symphony and a Performing Arts Center.
Peggy has tirelessly worked on behalf of the symphony for almost 50 years, serving as president of the San Luis Obispo Symphony Guild and on the symphony's board of directors. She earned the prestigious title of "director emeritus" in 1992.
The amount of time and money Peggy has dedicated to education — whether English or music — can't be known; she's never far from either subject.
In that light (and so many others), it makes perfect sense that Peggy will be honored with a national award Saturday when the Symphony kicks off its 50th season at Harmon Hall at the Performing Arts Center.
The honor is the President's Volunteer Service Award, established in 2003 as a way to honor individuals who have "demonstrated exemplary citizenship through volunteering."
"For more than 50 years, Peggy Peterson has shared her life, love of music, her passion for education and her generous spirit with the community of San Luis Obispo," said Michael Nowak, music director of the symphony. "Peggy has played an integral role in making the San Luis Obispo Symphony what it is today."
A certificate, pin and letter from President Obama will be presented to Peggy at a small ceremony before the 8 p.m. opening night concert. She'll also be honored at a post-concert reception at Sage Restaurant.
Peggy was born in Norton, W. Va., the oldest of five in a family that valued education. According to a 1994 Telegram-Tribune profile on Peggy and Gerry, her father started the first PTA in Randolph County and regularly traveled to the state capitol to address the Assembly on education, women and children's issues.
The couple moved to San Luis after World War II and Peggy graduated with the first coed class at Cal Poly. "I'm an old Poly Dolly," she told reporter April Karys in 1994.
Although the music community may be the most visible of recipients of their largesse, Peggy and Gerry also donated heavily to a host of other good causes.
"Cuesta, Cal Poly, the Elfin Forest, the Botanical Garden — whatever makes life beautiful, we want to be part of," Peggy told the T-T, "because that's what makes us whole there's a sense of satisfaction in watching things grow."
Symphony spokeswoman Patty Thayer says, "It should be noted that Peggy has always been notorious about sharing the symphony wherever she is and whatever she is doing. She is well known for standing in the grocery line and getting people's names and addresses to be added to the mailing list or purchasing blocks of seats for concerts and distributing them at the doctor's office or bank.
Peggy has single-handedly increased the symphony's mailing list by hundreds of names, simply by sharing her love of music wherever she is and with whomever she meets."
Being recognized by the president for her volunteerism is nice, I'm sure Peggy'll tell you. But what really drives her generosity of time, money and spirit is a sense that we're all in this together.
What she told the T-T 16 years ago is still her credo today: "It isn't important that our names are put in public places. What's important is that we get to share something. If one can end one's life feeling that they've brought joy to someone else's — and their own — why, then it's worth every bit of it."

Risk leads to growth. I believe that if you're not growing, you're dying. Today's video is Part #4 of QuitPornGetGirls "Foundations of Game" series presented by our resident attraction coach Kino Suave.
If you're in the process of moving away from porn and into meeting real women, this video is for you.
If you're over 30 and feel that its too late for you to get back in the game (even if you're a virgin), this video is for you.
If you're an introvert and can't even IMAGINE yourself approaching an attractive woman to ask for her number, this video is for you.
If you just got out of a long term relationship, or got divorced (porn related reasons or not) and you're wondering if you still have the balls to approach women, this video is for you.
We live in a risk averse world-online dating and hookup apps take alot of the risk out of meeting the opposite sex. Even though I personally use Tinder to the point of having a book Tinder book (more like an encyclopedia) that I've been obsessive-compulsively writing for half a year, I know for a fact that nothing beats approaching a woman cold and closing the deal with her.
Risk taking is one of the defining characteristics of all successful men.
Today, Kino breaks risk down as it relates to your Game. Most men will never experience a relationship, sex or even attraction from a woman they desire because they are unwilling, or don't know how to take their game to the next level.
While its challenging to get a woman's number, take her out on a date, or have sex with her within a short period of time, we tend to get comfortable and hit plateaus in our growth. Make no mistake- meeting, attracting, building relationships and having sex with women on a consistent basis is is SKILL. This includes maintaining a longterm relations and and marriage. When we hit plateaus, or begin to take our skills for granted, regression begins.
We instinctively know that we should talk to another woman, approach the group, ask for the phone number, kiss her, touch her, tell her we find her attractive…but we don't.Frankly speaking- its scary and sometimes, we just don't know how.
Risk taking with women is reserved only for the men who TRULY want success in their relationships with women.
Enjoy the video, and please leave your questions and feedback in the comment section below!

Child Design Planning SuggestionsI am not a attorney, I am a judgment referral expert (Judgment Broker). This post is my opinion, based on my encounter in California, and laws differ in every state. Absolutely nothing in any of my articles ought to ever be regarded as authorized advice. This post describes how to fill out a MC-12 California judicial council type to document judgment interest and costs.
If you are concerned the person could be a risk, think about taking another individual with you. Having somebody sit in the passenger seat can be a deterrent and will be useful if the individual you're serving does react poorly.
I am happy that BCSC finance director John Hinze, who is in cost of collections, is operating diligently. But gathering from scofflaws is usually tough, and often impossible.
In cases of clever wealthy debtors that have expertly concealed "their" property; settling for pennies on the dollar might be the creditor's best or only chance to get paid. Of course, such get more info sneaky debtors sometimes do not spend following the settlement arrangement will get signed.
The Petition for Divorce can be served to the Respondent in numerous ways like, personal handover, snail mail, e-mail, community posting or through most generally practiced way, legal services, etc. based on what the jurisdiction and Courtroom permits.
If you have the persistence, cash, time, and willingness to discover, you can attempt enforcing your judgment yourself. This works very best with stable debtors, when you know exactly where they function. Even then, it's not as simple or inexpensive as it should be. One rarely recovers the complete amount owed. The courtroom and websites on the Internet will have hints and instructions about recovering your own judgment.
To remain busy, you might just require to become and tougher and more creative Notary. This might mean marketing to attorney solutions that focus in bankruptcy and foreclosures. You also need to look for lenders, brokers and escrow businesses that specialize in bank owned financial loans. Some of them are very busy right now and they're supplying the smarter Signing Agent with a great stream of work. Marketplace your self exactly where the economy dictates the greatest needs and you will be the Notary that gets the most phone calls in your area.

Australian PM Tony Abbott says the December 15 Sydney hostage taker Man Haron Monis was a licensed firearm owner "and wasn't on a security watch list."
The PM's announcement was questioned by New South Wales' authorities, prompting Abbott's office to release a statement indicating "security officials" discovered Monis was a "firearms license holder" via a national database search.
According to CNN, Abbott said the great tragedy of the situation "is that two delightful Australians, two very decent people, are dead. Others are injured. Others are traumatized because of a madman who was roaming our streets."
The hostage taker's possession of a firearms license points to the one of the great failures of gun control–namely, that the myriad rules instituted to limit privately owned firearms empower those with criminal intent while making law-abiding citizens more vulnerable. And this is true not simply in Australia, but all around the world.
For example, Breitbart News previously reported that many high-profile shooters in the United States over the course of the last three years went through background checks to acquire their firearms. These include Jerad and Amanda Miller (Las Vegas gun couple), Elliot Rodger (Santa Barbara gunman), Ivan Lopez (2014 Fort Hood gunman), Darion Marcus Aguilar (Maryland Mall gunman), Aaron Alexis (D.C. Navy Yard gunman), Jared Loughner (Tucson Safeway gunman), and Nidal Hasan (2009 Fort Hood gunman).
Gun control promises safety but delivers increased vulnerability.

Binary Options Trading with Fibonacci Retracements
Before you get into using Fibonacci retracements while trading binary options, it is important that you understand the fundamentals of the Fibonacci sequence so that you can use it rightly. The Fibonacci sequence is a sequence of numbers following the pattern of 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89 and so on. In this sequence the sum of the first two numbers gives rise to the third number. Similarly, the sum of the second and third number will give rise to the fourth and so on.
The most interesting thing about this sequence is that it can be seen in various areas including the biology of plants. In fact, the sequence is also observable in the structure of several galaxies and other structures in the universe. You must keep in mind that the Fibonacci strategy is a long term one because these patterns may take a while to emerge. There are several strategies used to make the most of the Fibonacci sequence and each one of them has their own sets of advantages.
In one kind of Fibonacci strategy, the use of daily charts is central to forming the method. In this method, you need to figure out areas in which you can expect the price of any asset to hit after it takes an upswing representing a strong trend. However, the only way to develop any kind of judgement is to observe the market for a long enough period to get an idea of these frequenting areas. There are many tools based on Fibonacci strategy that can give you a fixed number of possible spots. Using these possible spots, a trader can go for the touch option trade depending on the spots.
– In the first type of retracement, the lowest and the highest points of the uptrend are marked.
– In the second kind, the highest and the lowest points of a downtrend are demarcated.
Once you have a clear idea of these points by tracing an upswing or downswing with a Fibonacci tool, you also need to know where this pattern of Fibonacci retracement is going to end. The typical pattern of retracement points appearing in any kind of Fibonacci retracement follows a pattern of this kind: 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61% and 100%.
Having these points clearly defined will help you establish the call/put trade option where a trade is placed at points where the retracement pattern of any asset comes to an end. Stochastics oscillator is a great way to figure out the Fibonacci retracement levels of any asset.
Though this method of Fibonacci retracement has proven to be quite effective in quite a lot of cases, it must be used suitably. Once you have this clear in your mind, you will find it easier to call and put trades as well as trade in several touch/no touch trading methods. Demos are a great way to practice these steps but at the end of the day, you should accept the fact that since the market still remains unpredictable, there is a chance that you may go wrong on a few occasions.

Font site
Bütçe $20-100 USD
I bought a great domain earlier this year ([url removed, login to view]), and had the stupid assumption that running a turnkey script would run the site, but I was WAY wrong, the only thing the turnkey could do was basically mass change the site's title/email and a few other features... NOTHING TO ADD MORE FONTS, infact the "control panel" wasnt even password protect it (don't waste your time searching for it, its has nothing useful).
So, I am looking for a coder to write something such as [URL=[url removed, login to view]][url removed, login to view][/URL] or [URL=[url removed, login to view]][url removed, login to view][/URL] , basically a searchable database of fonts, and some EASY to add to. It can be a mod of a filemanager program or which ever, as long as it does what I need. I do not have a price range for I do not know how much of an experienced coder that would be a required to do this, but I can offer partnership and % of whatever income that comes from this site for you would be an "author" of it.

Embodied Peacebuilding – conflict resolution with a difference!
"Take yoga off the mat and into your life"
A first for yoga in Northern Ireland - Mark Walsh, founder of Embodied Yoga Principles, visits Belfast.
Mark is renowned for his work in conflict zones around the world as yoga teacher, trainer and leadership coach. During his first trip to Belfast he is working with cross community groups in Gridwood Community Hub (North Belfast) to show how a physical approach to peace building can move mountains where dialogue has perhaps failed.
The event on 5 May in Girdwood is exclusively for the community sector but Mark does feature as part of the Yoga Fellowship of Northern Ireland's 2017 programme of events on Saturday 6 May in NICVA. It will be a unique opportunity to meet and work with this gritty man of action who combines yoga with Mindfulness and conflict resolution as he shows us how we can use this in our own lives - taking yoga off the mat and into our lives.
Coming from a martial arts background Mark aims to help people move beyond their differences using the body and the breath in a dynamic way to shift old patterns and thoughts. It is an opportunity to move forward and experience self-motivated change in an active way.
Lisa Copeland, Yoga Fellowship Chairperson, said:
"The Yoga Fellowship will shortly mark 40 years working in Northern Ireland and having Mark Walsh take his first trip to Northern Ireland is a great way to launch our celebrations.
"YFNI has a reputation for innovation and leading the way. This prominent yogi, who is recognised world-wide for his extensive work in conflict resolution both personal and group based, is yet another example of the pioneering work the Fellowship has undertaken since its inception."
Previous yoga experience is not essential for this event...just a willingness to try something new that could help resolve inner conflict. Enthusiasm, a sense of humour and relaxed comfortable clothes are, however, essential.
Mark is a recognised expert in the field of conflict, trauma recovery and reconciliation and has worked with groups across the globe, from Sierra Leone and Ethiopia to Israel and Afghanistan. This is a great opportunity to experience a different approach to conflict resolution within ourselves and with others around us.
Event details
Date/Time: Saturday 6 May 9.30am – 4pm
Cost: from £30pp

The mother of Ludacris' one-year-old daughter has filed an appeal challenging his recent custody win.
The Area Codes hitmaker, real name Christopher Bridges, was granted full custody of little Cai in January (15) after taking issue with ex-lover Tamika Fuller's demand for child support.
He convinced a judge he could provide the baby girl with a better home environment, but now Fuller is attempting to discredit his parenting skills by claiming Ludacris has hired a full-time nanny to take care of the tot, reports TMZ.com.
She also alleges the rapper/actor was wrong not to disclose the fact he is expecting a child with his new wife, Eudoxie Mbouguiengue.
The couple only confirmed the pregnancy earlier this month (Mar15).
The baby will be Ludacris' third - he is also a father to teenage girl Karma, from a previous relationship.

1. School Outline
The origional name of this school was "the Japanese Language School in Zurich" which was founded on October 20, 1975 (Showa 50). The number of pupils totalled fifteen and the teachers were also the principals. The establishment as an educational foundation was permitted by the Zurich State in 1986 (Showa 61), and the status as a private school in Switzerland was therefore gained. The following year, 1987, (Showa, 62) a teacher was assigned from the government in Japan to serve as the vice principal for the part time course. The resolution for approving the rental of the school building was made by the Uster City Assembly, and the preparation for opening the school was completed in November of the same year.
Four teachers from Japan in addition to the first principal and one secretary (employed in Switzerland) took up their posts, and the opening ceremony of the school was held on April 23, 1988 (Showa 63). The Japanese School in Zurich started with fifty elementary school students and seven junior high school students, fifty-seven students in total.
This school is located in the center of Uster City near Zurich. Uster is the third largest city in the Zurich area and is situated in a rich natural environment. The school stands at the foot of Uster castle which is more than one thousand years old. We use the second and third floors of an old five-story building which was a textile factory in the past. Besides normal classrooms there are special rooms such as a home economics room, a fine-arts and industrial art room, a science room, a music room and library (in which there are twelve computors installed). There is also a large gym and a sports ground outside. We strongly believe that this environment is highly satisfactory in the education of our students.
We are striving to create the best education possible not only through the use of the school's excellent facilities but by also making use of the local Uster enviroment and the greater Swiss enviroment. For example, we have had outdoor field studies during the summer camp, (held at 'Stoos' in central Switzerland) and exchange studies, (with local Uster school children). Also, guided visits by some pupils to local institutions such as the 'Migros' supermarket in Uster.
In addition to these, German and English classes are also taught from the first grade. We therefore strongly believe that considering the above factors our school is providing an exceptional educational experience.

From the 1st to the 4th graders in the elementary school:
2 German and 1 English class
The 5th & the 6th grades in the elementary school:

Students in the junior high-secondary school:
2 German and 5 English classes.
* German and English (in the junior high school department) are instructed by a locally employed teacher.
* Delivering the lecture meeting "The study of various people's way of life"
This lecture is carryied out from the last fiscal year for the children
and their parents/guardian inviting many people from various professions
in Switzerland to speak. This is planned for about four times a year.

A synthetic study is grappled with, taking advantage of the special features of Switzerland, under various themes, for example, (International Understanding, the Natural Environment and so on).
* Substantial teaching-materials and teaching-tools

* An emergency drill
Although the public order in this area is stable at the present, supposing that an unexpected situation, (such as, the school is invaded by an unknown group with hostages taken and so on) were to occur, some standard training of the teachers to be preparred in such an event is carried out. The number one aim is securing the safety of the child's life. In addition to this, periodical awarness training for an impending crisis in everyday life is also carried out.

Extracurricular club activities are offered to all the students twice a week after school. They are divided into two groups, elementary and secondary. This was decided after the students voiced their wishes and opnions.
* Participation in the local Zurich event "Sechselauten"by the whole school.
This is one of the biggest and most looked forward to events in Zurich which tells us of the impending arrival of Spring. All students participate in the Kinder parade, (alongside many other Swiss and foreign children). They march slowly along the closed city streets behind a horse and wagon wherein children from grades five through the third grade of the junior high school beat a traditional Japanese drum!
* The 'Open Door' (held three times a year).
On such a day, the classrooms are open to not only the parents and guardians of the students at the school, but to any other interested persons as well. For example, the teachers of the local schools and some members of the Board of Education may visit and observe. Occasionally, the teacher of a local school may come to do some teacher training for one or two weeks, while a student from Zurich University may also visit classes to study Japanese Education.
* The new students welcome party!
Each year, a welcome party committee organises this event for the newcomers. It consists of an approximatly two kilometer hike by the students to the lakeside of Greifensee, a welcome meeting and barbecue, with specialities such as a 'bull-strike' (a special sasusage) and corn.

It's been rather quiet around here lately! But ya know, sometimes we get caught up in the comings and goings.
|Our first fire this fall. Cats be like "I have nooo shame!" E. be like "Cats have a lot of nipples"
What's been happening:
- Voting
- Trying to keep the house together last week, when A. was away and your child has extra curricular activities (The struggle is real! Props to single moms! whoot!)
- flu shot biznaz (the flu is already out and about peeps!)
- a trip to halifax for the last UFE graduating class gala, for one of A.'s CAs
- spending a night away from E. at the Prince George
- spending way too much money on a snowsuit for a child, at a store in MicMac Mall:
|Do you know that the costs go up exponentially once a child is not in toddler clothing? (Neat store, though!)
A hard time getting up and around today, that is.
Makes you realize you are really truly an adult, when you just "can't adult", the day after a night out.
It also makes me realize that when you can go to Halifax and see tons of people you know from your adopted home town, that you know you are truly settled.
Anyhow, hope your weekend was also a fun one!
And hopefully our wallet will recover.
At least E. will be good and warm this winter!
|Speaking of warm...my most favourite purchase in Halifax. Sheep Shearling slippers from Costco!

Jessie Ware's New Song Is Lovely and the Best
Her first new music in two years.
Jessie Ware, oh, how we missed you. It has been two years since we last got new music from her and developed a crush. Well, now Ware is back with "Tough Love." Blending her '90s R&B aesthetic with an '80s Prince digital drumbeat and a contemporary use of random noise flourishes, the result was well worth the wait. A new record is expected later this year. She collaborated with Ed Sheeran on one of the songs, so add a plus to the pro–Ed Sheeran column.

This one of the most unique items around. These are 4″ handmade glow in the dark glass jellyfish. Once in the light for a little while you can turn the lights off and watch them glow. Or purchase one of our LED bases that has 3 different colors and watch the jellyfish change different colors.

Today's words of wisdom come from African-American labor leader A. Philip Randolph (1889-1979). Randolph was a major leader in the 1960s civil rights movement and the head of the 1963 March on Washington that featured Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech. He had previously led the March on Washington Movement during the 1940s. Randolph is most famous for organizing and leading the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the first predominantly African-American labor union.
As a keen social observer, Randolph tasked himself with analyzing problems and suggesting solution-based approaches. Below, he describes the process by which segregation and other forms of social separation can lead to a chain reaction of emotions leading to irrational hatred. Think about how Randolph's words apply to our current world.
Self-segregation is just as much a catalyst for distrust as forced separation... and we see this idea at work in our society day after day after day.
"Men often hate each other because they fear each other; they fear each other because they do not know each other; they do not know each other because they cannot communicate; they cannot communicate because they are separated."
Below, Dr. Michael Lindsey delves into the topic of mental illness in the African-American community. The mental health researcher acknowledges how traumatic experiences dating back to slavery still resonate today.

Information Frame:
|Address Code
|Function Code
|Data Area
|Error-Checking Code
Address Code: Primary device puts the device's address which is to contact with into the information frame's address field to select slave device. When slave device sends a reply information, it puts its address into the reply information frame's address in order to let primary device know which slave device made that response. The range of address code is from 1 to 254.
Function Code: When information is delivered from primary device to slave device, the function code would inform slave code what action should be carried out. When slave device replies, it uses function code to judge whether it's a normal reply or an objectionable reply. (Function code's top position of objectionable reply is 1). MAGA series encoder only support function code03 till now.

Wow, it's been a month since my last post. Life can run away with you like that some times. I do have a legitimate reason: I got a new job. Because my position involved a very important project I had to spend the last several weeks on-boarding a new team. Jiu-Jitsu took a backseat unfortunately. If I got out to train once a week it was a a lot.
The one positive coming out of the disruption of my training was that I finally got started making my own grappling dummy. I threw away the one I bought from MMAWarehouse after I moved into a new house. Looking back on it, I wasted my money on it. I should have just made my own from the start. It really wasn't that hard.
First, I bought the necessary information:
- a pair of sweatpants.
- a hoodie sweatshirt.
- 4 pool noodles.
- sewing needles and heavy duty thread.
- Total price tag: $30.
Although I did use foam to stuff the "body" of the dummy, I didn't pay for it. A neighbor of mine was throwing away his sofa so I got the cushions off of it and used the foam in them. I would highly recommend doing that instead of buying foam.
The first thing I did after I got my materials together was sew the "hands" and "feet" of the sweatsuit closed. I used a technique I saw in this video (it starts at the 3:56 mark); it's easy to do and when you're done feels very strong.
I then stuffed the legs and inserted a pool noodle in each one. Don't cut them as you can use them to "insert" into the torso that you'll make out of the sweatshirt; this adds structure to the entire creation. Then, I stuffed the arms of the sweatshirt until I felt comfortable that they were filled enough that I could apply a technique without any issues. I also stuffed the body a bit and the head.
I cinched the hood drawstrings as tightly as I could and then sewed the hole together. Then, I took the remaining pool noodles and cute then to size such as they fit within the torso. I used duct tape to bundle the noodles together (they're flat laying, side by side with tape going around them to hold them together). The noodle in the center of the bundle protrudes a bit so that it becomes the "neck" of the head.
After inserting the bundle into the torso, I stuffed it a little more to give it form. Then, and this is the tedious part, I sewed the torso to the legs. I made sure to be really thorough with the stitches and doubled a lot of them. When I was 3/4 of the way done, I stuffed that area of the body a little more and then finished the stitch. Voila! The grappling dummy was done.
I've used it 2 times so far and it works great. No issues. I can do any technique and I don't have to deal with "dead weight" since it's so light. I really enjoyed this project and I'm considering talking to my BJJ friends to see if they would want one and I'd sell them.
Other than that the times I have been training have been very good. I've been doing pretty well overall. No real issues to speak of other than I've noticed that I really need to work on armbar escapes. I've been getting tapped a bunch of times by them so I better start working on it.
That's all for now. I hope your training has been good and productive.
Chau e bom dia!
