Dear Lulu:
Thank you for inventing the yoga pants I requested. I'll take two in every colour.
Yours truly, Rihanna
Yes, I was going to make fun of the Lululemon see-through yoga pants recall, but then I thought: "Where's the challenge?" Actually, no. That's a lie. What really happened was that I saw Twitter was ablaze with cheeky tweets that are much cleverer than anything I could cobble together on short notice (did I mention that I am leaving for Bermuda? Packing my see-through underpants even as we speak!), so I thought I'd just brazenly steal the best of them and post them here for your enjoyment. No, no, don't thank me ... Now, to begin:
- Lululemon recalled their yoga pants for being too sheer. The male Lululemon executives are still waiting to hear what the problem is." @michelleisawolf
- Lululemon's see-through pants problem causes stock to drop, also severe disappointment in guys who always take back row in yoga class." @laurengoode
- Trying to convince wifey my browser history for "see-through yoga pants" is research for investing in Lululemon's stock" @sachedad
- @lululemon is recalling black yoga pants for being too revealing. Isn't that why we decided to wear them in the first place?" @lisakoopgarcia
- Yoga pants that leave nothing to the imagination recalled for leaving nothing to the imagination." @gillianburnett

Contain yourself, but not your enthusiasm for growing in pots. It is now time to plant your pots and container gardens.
Some tender plants still need night protection: Plants such as coleus, tomatoes and basil will still suffer from cool nights when the temperature is below 55 degrees, so wait until June to place these heat lovers outdoors. You can pot up these super tender plants now, but move the containers indoors at night. Leave big pots in a wheelbarrow and you can more easily move them into a covered garage or garden shed in the evening.
Hardening off newly planted flowers: Most other annuals such as petunias, geraniums, fuchsias and herbs will survive in pots when planted the last week of April or first week of May, but keep the newly planted containers close to the house such as on a covered porch or patio for at least the first week. This allows the greenhouse grown plants to harden up a bit and adjust to the wind and low night temperatures. Don't worry about cold nights and hardening off cool season plants such as pansies, alyssum, snapdragons, perennials, or leafy greens and hardy herbs. These tough plants love our weather and are ready to grow in the ground or pots.
Do's and don'ts of container gardening in Western Washington
▪ Do try any and all plants in a pot. Don't be afraid to experiment with olive trees, shrubs, vines, roses perennials, clematis and hydrangea.
▪ Do provide drainage in any container unless you are growing swamp plants.
▪ Don't think a small hole in a large pot is good enough. Make more holes with a drill or enlarge the hole. Water needs to drain freely through the soil in our rainy weather.
▪ Do invest in potting soil. Use lighter soil with added perlite for sedums, roses and herbs. You can add a trowel scoop of compost to the potting soil of moisture loving plants such as rhodies, lobelia, fuchsias, begonias and other moisture loving plants.
▪ Don't try to use soil from your own garden, and if you reuse potting soil, mix it up so it is not compacted. It is nice to add a bit of compost and fertilizer to previously used potting soil.
▪ Do match the size of the plant to the pot. Trees, shrubs and perennials do best in pots at least 18 inches deep but 3 feet deep is even better.
▪ Don't fill entire pot with potting soil if plants are annuals or have shallow roots. You can use crushed pots or recycled water bottles to fill the bottom third of large pots to keep them lightweight and free draining. Trees, shrubs and perennials prefer that the entire pot has soil.
▪ Do fertilize potted plants. Heavy feeders like annuals and roses like both a slow release plant food and a liquid plant food. Plants in pots need fertilizer. Put on your glasses and read the label on any plant food so you don't overfeed or underfeed.
▪ Do learn to water correctly. Feel the soil by poking your finger into the soil. Water when the top two inches is dry. The amount of water needed will change as the plants grow and weather warms.
Important for Western Washington: Don't let potted plants sit in drainage water — raise your pots up a bit by sliding plastic bottle caps under the pots or, for large containers, use bricks, put gravel under the pot or use pot feet to keep the drainage hole from becoming blocked by the weight of the container.

Burger King advert activating Google Assistant provokes backlash
A Burger King advert designed to activate Google Assistant in viewers' homes has been met with irritation from users, blacklisting from Google and Wikipedia and fresh questions about the invasiveness of interconnected devices.
Last week, Burger King released a short advert for their signature 'Whopper' burger. The video featured an actor dressed as a Burger King employee saying: "You're watching a 15 second Burger King ad, which is unfortunately not enough time to explain all the fresh ingredients in the Whopper sandwich. But I got an idea. OK, Google. What is the Whopper burger?"
"OK, Google" is an audio prompt for the Google Assistant, which is included in Android phones and Google Home, and responds to verbal requests. The advert was designed to trigger these devices to open and read the Wikipedia entry for Burger King's Whopper product.
"Burger King saw an opportunity to do something exciting with the emerging technology of intelligent personal assistant devices," a Burger King representative said last week.
Before the advert was aired, the 'Whopper' Wikipedia entry had been edited by members of the Burger King marketing team such that the first line read as a promotional description of the Whopper's ingredients.
Other Wikipedia users retaliated by editing the page to describe the Whopper as "the worst hamburger", "inferior to the Big Mac", and suggesting that it contained "cyanide", "malted milk balls" and "rat meat and toenail clippings".
Google blacklisted the advert, preventing it from triggering Google Assistant. However, Burger King responded with a second, slightly different advert, which was reportedly successful in triggering Google Assistants. A further three permutations of the advert have been released. While Android phones are designed to respond to the user only, Google Home devices respond to multiple voices.
11 Wikipedia editors have posted an open letter on the website demanding an apology from Burger King for having violated their policies by using the online encyclopaedia for promotional purposes.
The publicity stunt has raised fresh debates about home privacy in an age of increasingly connected devices; the Internet of Things. While these devices are praised for allowing greater efficiency – for instance, reading the weather forecast rather than requiring the user to check the forecast online – there are concerns about the extensive access that companies such as Amazon and Google have to private conversations.
Last month, Google Home users began to complain that their devices were promoting the new Disney film Beauty and the Beast, whether or not they had shown prior interest in the film.

The latest non-partisan Field Poll shows that two-thirds of Californians support a $1.5 billion bump in tobacco taxes and raising the $15 minimum wage by 2021.
Consistent with California's liberal bent, 58 percent of California voters also favor the state's healthcare system, and support continues to moves away from personal responsibility and toward a government-run single-payer system.
With the Democrat-controlled California legislature increasingly desperate for a new tax source to make up for shrinking revenues as the Silicon Valley tech boom fades, they must be cheering results that suggest 50 percent of voters strongly support and 17 percent somewhat support more than tripling the 87-cent-per-pack tax on cigarettes. With only 19 percent strongly opposing the proposed tax, and tobacco companies cautious about financing a highly contentious stand against the Democrats, this looks like a done deal for a ballot initiative in 2016.
The Field Poll found very similar strength for raising the state's minimum wage by a dollar a year through 2021, with 47 percent strongly favoring and 21 percent somewhat favoring the spikes. But the Democrats carrying an initiative in 2016 would undoubtedly face a well-funded and brutal public opposition campaign by business interests across the state. Although the early poll looks good for the Democrats, the state party may not want to risk a battle extraordinaire without at least 50 percent strong support going in.
The "2015 Cal Wellness–Field Health Policy Survey" also shows that four years after the passage of the Affordable Care Act, known as "Obamacare", voters are reporting higher levels of satisfaction with the way the health care system in California is working than they did before its passage. A 2008 Field Cal Wellness survey -Field Health Policy Survey, conducted two years prior to the passage of the ACA, found 50 percent of California registered voters satisfied and 46 dissatisfied with the way the state's health care system was operating. But the satisfaction has grown over the seven years to 58 percent and dissatisfaction has plunged to 34 percent.
The poll's results emphasize that Democrats increasingly want government health coverage over employer-backed coverage. The most telling result of the survey is the proportion of voters preferring government-provided coverage in California increased 11 points, while the proportion who favor taking personal responsibility declined by 10 points. The percent backing employer-provided coverage remained unchanged over the seven-year period.
The Field Poll is usually a very credible indicator of voter opinion in the Golden State. The non-partisan poll was established in 1956 and relies on financial support from newspapers and television stations, the University of California, the California State University system, and other not-for-profits. Its margin of error in this survey is plus or minus 2.6 percent.

About Me
My name is Ricky Chai, and I am a young entrepreneur that is looking to make a difference in the world. I believe every individual has the potential to succeed if they are ambitious, show willingness to work hard, receptive to advice and not afraid of failure. Every idea may not be a great one but all it takes is one to make it all worth it.
In my spare time, I like visiting new places and trying out new cuisines. The world is so diverse and a great way to experience this diversity is through food. I truly feel a sense of newness every time I allow myself to be surprised. I aspire to better my life and the lives of those around me because that will be a true measure of my success in this life.
My Commitment
"First, have a definite, clear practical ideal; a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends; wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end."
The reason I joined Signs of Community is because as a small business owner I felt the struggles to stand out and get my business the exposure it deserved. In an era where the common advertising media of TV, Radio, and Print have all become less effective, I knew there had to be a better way. When I heard about Signs of Community and their approach to inform local communities about School and City events through a network of Community Announcement Centers, I felt that the idea would work well. Then when I learned that SOC also allows local businesses to sponsor a location at a reasonable price and garner their own exposure as a supporter of the community, I felt this was an amazing idea. I am behind Signs of Community 100% and look forward to contributing in every way I can.

Watauga announces Blue Scholarship recipient
The board of the Watauga County Community Foundation (WCCF) has announced this year's winner of the John & Ruth Blue Scholarship Endowment.
Sam Littlejohn is the scholarship recipient for 2011. He graduated from Watauga High School as co-salutatorian and will attend Davidson College in the fall where he will study chemistry.
This is the fifth year that the Blue Scholarship has been awarded. Recipients receive a $5,000 scholarship to the university of their choice, renewable for four years. Selection is based on academic excellence, physical activity and leadership at school, in church and through community service.
Littlejohn is an Eagle Scout, was awarded a National Merit Scholarship, was accepted to the North Carolina Governor's School in Natural Science, and was a Morehead-Cain Scholarship Semifinalist. He also participated in the Georgetown University Summer Program for High School Students in Medicine and was selected to the all-conference cross country team last fall.
The scholarship was established in 2001 by John and Ruth Blue with provisions for additional funds after their passing. The Blues retired to Watauga County more than 20 years ago and wanted to do something for the community that had meant so much to them. The endowment is one of the 26 funds of WCCF.
The Watauga County affiliate was organized in 1988 with the establishment of a Legacy Fund and now includes endowment holdings of more than $2.5 million.

town sale of surplus properties raised $457,000
Last year the town held an auction of town owned properties. We sold several parcels of property (including the waterwheel for affordable housing in Ardsley). Some of the properties did not sell. We held a silent bid auction today on other surplus town owned properties and raised $457,000. There have been added interest in other properties that the town will be reviewing for potential sale. The sale of these properties will help mitigate budget constraints but it also removes our liability on those properties and puts the property on the tax rolls. For additional information about the other properties e mail email@example.com or myself at email@example.com

Today, one of the biggest issues that feminist fight for is "equal job pay." However, I am here to tell you that the conception that women make less than men is a myth. Ladies and gentlemen, that statistic that feminist use is that women who work make 77 cents for every dollar a man makes. However, they forget to mention factors like maternity leave and that there are less women who work then men, so therefore the median salaries of ALL the men in the U.S. is less that ALL the women in the U.S., regardless if they work or not. Doesn't it make sense that if you don't work you make less? It makes sense to me!
Today, feminists also fight for society to "forget gender stereotypes." See, that's the problem right there. How society change for women when women don't work to redefine these gender stereotypes. One cannot simply ask society to change as a whole when they don't change themselves.
Anyway, I am awaiting a response and am excited to debate this controversial topic.
The instigator mentions that he supports women's' rights, but not feminism. A simple search in Webster's will find that feminism is defined as "the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men." Is feminism not women's rights? Clearly, my opponent must be against women's' rights per his objection to feminism. Feminism is purely the movement to preserve women's' rights, much like civil disobedience is a movement sparking out of a lack of privacy.
However, the main issue my opponents mentions rather specifically is equal job pay. The instigator's arguments are based on incorrect logic instead of strong statistical evidence. Women do earn 23% less than men and not due to my opponent's claim of "maternity leave" and his weaknesses in math. Maternity leave in the U.S. is one of the shortest in the world. The U.S. government, along with the governments of numerous other oppressive and poor nations, gives only 12 weeks of unpaid leave to mothers. Clearly, 12 weeks out of an average career of 40 years won't make a difference.
As said, my opponent also mentioned the median salaries of men and women. Forgive me, but isn't the 77% number a number from a data set consisting of only those who work? Even if it included unemployed men and women, the numbers would still be skewed in favor of men as the truth does not fade. Men earn more than women due to gender discrimination. Therefore, feminism is crucial to ending this discrimination and bringing women up to the same standard as men in society.
My opponent makes many arguments, all of which lack evidence to back it up and logic to strengthen it. I look forward to hearing his responses.

Financing Questions Loom Over President's Prepare for $200 Billion in Federal Investment for Overhaul of US Facilities
President Trump's facilities proposal ponders the sale of Washington Dulles International Airport (envisioned above) and other federally owned possessions.
Credit: Washington Dulles International Airport.The Trump Administration on Monday lastly sent out Congress its long-awaited plan to revamp the country's facilities, a 10-year program that proposes utilizing$200 billion of federal funding to stimulate as much as $1.5 trillion in investing to upgrade U.S. highways, bridges, rail systems and airports. Half of the federal funds would go toward
incentive-based grants to match financing raised by state and city governments for restoring projects. The 53-page overview proposes that the federal government consider selling such federally owned homes such as Washington Dulles International Airport, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and the Tennessee Valley Authority(TVA )electrical system and other assets "where the firms can demonstrate an increase in worth from the sale would enhance the taxpayer worth for federal properties."In addition to$ 100 billion for direct grants, President Donald Trump's strategy, part of a$4.4 trillion White House budget plan proposal, requires $50 billion for infrastructure projects in backwoods, $20 billion for big"transformative"projects, and $30 billion for a range of existing infrastructure programs. Lobbyists for construction and private investment groups accepted the president's goal of resolving the approximated$4.6 trillion deficiency in needed enhancements to roadways, highways, bridges, water systems, schools and transport systems. Mike Sommers, president and CEO of the American Financial Investment Council, a lobbying group for
the personal equity market, accepted Trump's strategy, keeping in mind that private investment companies have" record levels of dry powder on hand"in addition to business expertise to manage the revitalization of vital U.S. facilities tasks." Private-equity investors of all sizes are ready to buy brand-new facilities jobs that will develop jobs, improve local services, and enhance communities across America," Sommers stated. "Public-private collaborations are a tested technique to bring much-needed funding to large-scale projects, and private equity companies have long been a part of these successful partnerships."Michael Burke, chairman of the Business Roundtable Infrastructure Committee and CEO of AECOM, a Los Angeles-based multinational engineering firm that builds, finances and operates infrastructure assets in 150 nations, praised Trump's strategy as"an important initial step. "in renewing America's aging facilities, however urged Congress to move with seriousness. "Accelerating permitting processes and attracting private financial investment are critical components to fixing our roads, bridges, airports and seaports,"Burke said in a
Service Roundtable statement."In order to sustain and update our facilities, Congress likewise should find an option to fortify federal transportation trust funds. Inactiveness is not an option. "Democrats, who are promoting their own plan that calls for bigger amounts of federal facilities spending, said the Trump strategy's dependence on private capital would lead to hundreds
of dollars a year in tolls for routine Americas. Even groups that praised the president's infrastructure objectives such as the Associated General Specialists of America, kept in mind that the plan faces an uphill battle in a divided Congress. "The information of this proposition are necessary, and many, including this association, will seek changes to more surpass the president's concept," stated AGC Chief Executive Stephen E.
Sandherr."Yet, the most significant element these days's release is that it indicates the start of exactly what should be a prompt, bipartisan and bicameral process to identify the best ways to money and finance frantically required improvements to our public infrastructure. "National Retail Federation President and CEO Matthew Shay noted that the urgent need to restore America's out-of-date infrastructure has actually long been a top priority for the federation and its members, which face day-to-day obstacles in moving freight quickly and efficiently to fulfill customer demand amidst a rapid increase in e-commerce."For years, we have actually seen an absence of financial investment in infrastructure, and American companies, employees and customers have actually paid the cost," Shay stated in a declaration." From overloaded ports to deteriorating trains, roads and bridges, there is no shortage of pressing issues that must be dealt with. ""We hope bipartisan conversations will advance significant services to our infrastructure requires, including a long-lasting sustainable funding source that treats all transportation system users relatively, "Shay added. Heidi Learner, primary financial expert with national tenant representation firm Savills Studley, stated the financing mechanisms in the proposed budget plan for the infrastructure strategy's objective of building tasks through public-private collaborations"is extremely light on real details." "It's particularly light about where the private-sector financial investment is going to originate from, and exactly what the incentives are for the private investment to come forward, "Learner said." It leaves a lot of the decision making to the cities and states. "As imagined, the proposed spending plan forecasts an$873 billion deficit in fiscal-year 2018, a$984 billion deficit in 2019 and a$ 7.1 trillion total deficit from 2019 to 2028. Such a high deficit would likely spur rate of interest to move higher, raising the expense of
capital as well as the required returns needed on any kind of infrastructure financial investment, Learner stated.

Increasingly, yachts are being made in a variety of different shapes and sizes.
Yet one recent cruiser seems to break the mold. A body-shifting surprise awaits in the stern of the Evo 43 yacht: a transforming cockpit, controlled by smartphone or tablet, with sides that extend outward, increasing the total deck space to 270 square feet.
It's precisely this design that has brought attention to the first luxury craft from Evo Yachts, a brand launched in late 2015 and engineered by its Italian parent company, Sea Engineering Group.
Unmistakable on the water, the Evo 43's transforming cockpit has drawn comparisons by some to the wings of bats and the TIE fighter from Star Wars. Designed by Valerio Rivellini of Naples's Studio Tecnico Rivellini, the Evo 43's cockpit also includes modular lounge chairs and an adjustable platform that lets passengers step into the boat from a dock or into the water from the rear of the yacht.
More from Architectural Digest
Additionally, the cruiser has a galley kitchen—with a stove, sink, and fridge—by the steering console as well as seating for 12 guests, which makes entertaining easy.
At a length of 43 feet and a top speed of 38 knots, the Evo 43 may be more suited for day trips than overnight excursions, although two cabins below decks hold four beds.
But this shape shifting watercraft doesn't come cheap.
Learn more about Evo Yachts' Shape-Shifting design.

I've recommended FPS so many times I wish I'd been on commission. My recommendation was for the old formula which removed every bit of burnt on grease I ever put before it. The new formula is absolutely useless. Apologies to all my friends who bought it on my recommendation after the formula had changed.
No, I do not recommend this product.
I swear by this product. I have rheumatoid arthritis so am not able to scrub pots and pans so was keen to try this product when it was first advertised abd smazed that it lived up to all it's claims. When Im hand washing the bits that don't go in the dishwasher, I spray the baking dishes first abd, by the time I've done the rest, I can just wipe way all the nasty stuck on bits easily. Even a pan I thought my daughter had ruined when she burnt the rice has been saved after a few courses of soaking in power spray. My only critism is it is not easy to find as a rule. I tend to watch for it in Savers and buy a couple when they have them.
Would love a sample if thery are available please.
Yes, I recommend this product!
This is your best product and it is impossible to find in Ireland. Some stores said it was discontinued. You should market it better, it is effective and helps when a pan appears to be impossible to clean, tne trick is to spray heavily, do not dilute and then let sit.
Fairy Power Spray, we just called it "Ainsley", used to be the best,better than anything else we had ever tried, good for anything from dirty pans, BBQ's and ovens, to car exhaust pipes.
Sadly, no more, as some bright spark decided to introduce the new "Low Viscosity" version.
For Low Viscosity, read thin and watery. The product doesn't cling anymore, and just runs off before it's done anything, so you end up using twice as much and working twice as hard for half the result.
I can only imagine this is the work of some "bean counters" reducing quality but not price. Will be looking for a replacement for a fallen hero
The best product in the kitchen.clean everything straight away.
Power Spray I love it it makes cleaning my oven like child play . My oven get a clean on a regular
basses now .
I have been using this on my roasting trays for ages but now find three of my local supermarkets don't seem to stock it
clean good. is good product for cleaning house yes. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
It does have a powerful fragrance Thankfully its going to do a tough job on my oven and sundry racks It really works and I use it regularly to stop build up Its simple effective and not too expensive I am careful to wash down properly afterwards so the oven is free from the foam it creates
Love this product
Excellent I use it all the time. I would recommend it to friends and family.

Personal statement
Karin Rugman is an experienced performer, choreographer and teacher who has worked extensively in education and the local community for over 30 years. She has a background in contemporary dance and is an experienced somatic movement educator in Shin Somatics, with additional experience in Alexander Technique, Tai Chi, Ideokinesis and Feldenkrais Technique. She is also a qualified Holistic Massage Practitioner and her somatic work centres around the use of touch as a medium for health and well-being.

Karin is currently a Senior Lecturer in Dance at Bath Spa University, where she has established an advanced programme of somatic studies in the Dance Department. Her research feeds directly into undergraduate study and is concerned with the value of somatic practice in dance education. Students are introduced to the foundations of somatic practice, developing an understanding of kinaesthetic awareness in dance technique and performance, whilst investigating a deeper sense of self and exploring choreographic possibilities through somatic research.
Karin has a BA (Hons) degree in Performing Arts, a Postgraduate Certificate in Education and Diplomas in Shin Somatics and Holistic Massage. She is a fellow of the Higher Education Academy UK (FHEA), a registered somatic movement educator with ISMETA, a registered practitioner in Holistic Massage with MTI and a member of ESN (Eastwest Somatic Network).

Current scholarship
Karin's ongoing research explores the value of somatic practices in Dance Education.
The development of a more comprehensive understanding of the body's mechanics both externally and internally enables the student to cultivate a deeper awareness of themselves, whilst promoting health and safe practice.
Karin is interested in exploring somatic processes as methods of creating, learning and teaching in choreography, encouraging students to be more experimental and playful in their understanding and development of composing and constructing movement material.
Her research interests include, somatic improvisation in performance, Butoh as metaphoric dance, somatics and self-authority and methods of assessment in somatic education. These feed directly into her current modules, which emphasise the potential of working somatically in the physical, creative and performing body.
Karin has a particular interest in researching the educational and therapeutic aspects of teaching through touch. She has recently written about contact unwinding, a partner exploration, which employs movement-based teaching through touch and is performed in an improvisational dance context.

The 2012 IDPA National Championships officially begin today, but yesterday saw the SO staff out on the range desperately trying to in as many stages as possible when the rain was its lightest or there was a break. Unfortunately it was a downpour most of the day with thunder storms rolling through around 3:00pm.
We have it on good authority - from none-other-than The Weather Channel - that today will be much better with just a 10% chance of rain. The rest of the week is supposed to be clear as well if a bit cloudy at times.
Despite the downpour IDPA welcomed back the TV crew from Shooting Gallery and the show's host Michael Bane, a good friend of IDPA. They'll be back out on the range today and rumor has it they might break out the Phantom camera - you know, the one that does that super slow-mo that makes shooting look uber cool. If you see them be sure to say hello (when they aren't filming of course).
One guy you won't see on the range is Jerry Miculek. In order to attend a match outside the U.S., the Team Smith & Wesson Revo King shot the entire match in yesterday's downpour...all 16 stages.
Afterwards you could find Miculek hanging out with the Safety Officers talking about the stages, shooting with his family and how to Wal-Mart your gun - a very funny story that proves once again how the single best revolver shooter in history is a true man of the people. Which is probably why nobody doesn't like Jerry Miculek...nobody.

I realized that while I have many Quotational Ponderings entries, the Personal Ponderings category has regrettably not seen much use. I attribute this to my internal conflict with the belief that other people have things of significance to relate and I have not. To remedy, here's a ponder that I have been considering lately:
"In seeing the goofy things I share and like on social media, I begin to wonder if a sensible woman could love such a man. Yes, I'm certain that it is possible, but is it improbable?"
I think the answer is a solid "it may be so".
So, is that goofiness "who one is as a person", or is it "how one chooses to be as a person", and if the latter, should not one make the choice to be otherwise at some point? Is there some mysterious balance one needs must strike, and how can one possibly know that there is and what that balance looks like? Can one mature from being a man-child yet somehow remain a unabashed fan of animated movies like How to Train Your Dragon and Monsters Inc., Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, and goofy goofy Doctor Who?
Further, when does eccentric cross the line into oddity; say, if one has possibly knitted a 16′ long scarf in emulation of Tom Brown's fourth iteration of The Doctor, has a barrier been irretrievably breached?
C.S. Lewis warns against filling to our lives with habits, hobbies, interests, and luxuries as a way to guard one's life and heart against risking love and so to try to fill the void. Are we choosing those things over the possible joy and fulfillment of sharing one's life, heart, and being with another? Are we men choosing to be a child and in so choosing to forgo the dream of ever raising a child (children)?
Moreover, are we making the same awful mistake in our relationship with our Savior Jesus Christ; with our loving Heavenly Father? What awesome and important thing is it that we are choosing to give up if such is so?
I have married friends who appear to have found and struck that balance and I look up to them as exemplars. They however, figured out that balance much earlier in life. Is there an age at which it becomes too late and one must live with the consequences of one's ill-considered choices.
Ponder, ponder ponder.
Zen Pencils has crafted a wonderful comic to illustrate what C.S. Lewis says on this subject of hearts, hobbies and luxuries. [Original here]

Sitting majestically along the outskirts of Old San Juan are the remnants of a beautiful Spanish fort known as Castillo de San Cristóbal, a reminder of Puerto Rico's Spanish roots. As one of the largest forts built in the Americas by Spain, San Cristóbal rises 150 feet above sea level and took nearly 20 years to build (1765 - 1785). Located in the northeast corner of Old San Juan, San Cristóbal is the first point of interest most tourists will visit, since it's conveniently located near the entrance. Also, there's a trolley stop located near the entrance for folks who want to explore the other famous fort, El Morro, which guards the northwest portion of the city, and don't want to walk. While El Morro fortress was known to guard enemy invasions by sea, San Cristóbal protected invasions by land.
San Cristóbal is clearly impressive with its myriad of levels that make the fort feel more like a Spanish castle rather than a military fortification. However, it's technically a castle because of the "castillo" portion of its name. Outside the main entrance of the fort, you can wander around in a large field for a photo-op inside of the many garitas, a sentry box in which guards were stationed to keep watch for enemies. Luckily, we didn't have to wait at all for a shot by one of the garitas. Supposedly, one of the garitas is haunted by the ghost of a soldier who had fallen into the rocky cliffs below. After reviewing my pictures of the sentry box (see above), I was disappointed to find that everything was...normal. If you're familiar with the show, Ghost Hunters International, you'll find an episode where the crew visits El Morro and San Cristóbal and capture some eerie unexplained events on camera. Fortunately, nothing too creepy happened on our visit, although the extensive tunnels leading to the dungeons below the fortress were somewhat daunting. Since my son wanted to roam inside one of the darker tunnels that housed a number of dungeons, my husband and I followed him, but the air started to feel uncomfortable and oppressive. I don't know it it's the heat or the narrowness of the pathway, but I didn't like the feeling underground and only made it a few yards underneath before heading back outside for some fresh air. It was too dark to take good pictures and I didn't have my tripod, so we didn't stay underground too long.
If you head above the fortress, on its ramparts, you'll find exhilarating views of both Old San Juan and the Atlantic Ocean. We were able to see a cruise ship come into a dock in Bahia de San Juan (San Juan Bay) as well as other spectacular sights in the city. If you walk around the area, you'll also find the barracks were the soldiers used to sleep (picture no. 2) and the chapel where they attended religious services. There are uniforms and weapons on display, but what I enjoyed most was looking at the buildings and learning about San Juan's military history. For those who like guided tours, you can catch one offered by English-speaking park staff who are more than happy to offer intriguing stories about the fort. Also, visiting the fort is inexpensive; adult tickets (16 yrs. and over) are only $3 and children 15 and under are FREE. Hours of the fort are from 9:00am to 6:00pm, so take your time to visit. I would allow between 1 to 2 hours to fully explore the fort and its surrounding areas. Also, make sure you wear comfortable clothing and shoes, since the fort sits on a steep hill and its building encompasses a maze of tunnels and pathways that are steep and difficult to climb in slippers or heels.

The Smiths picked a great location. So great, in fact, that others soon came to live nearby. Over time, their homestead turned into a group of farms and eventually grew into a small village. John Smith was elected the mayor of this village, and the village thrived. As the village grew, they built roads to other towns, villages, and cities around the area, hoping to encourage trade and communication. The roads also brought new dangers to protect against. Thieves out in the countryside threatened travelers. All kinds of people could ride into the village on the new roads, and some might not be trustworthy. This up-and-coming village had plenty of new trouble to watch out for.
Some residents thought to themselves, "Our homes are safe; those thieves are far away from here." Others thought, "It is easy to catch the bad guys, so we'll be protected. Besides, we have nothing they want." But John knew better. He talked to local officials and used the same thinking that had kept his home safe for all these years. John appointed a sheriff to help enforce the laws and allowed some of the residents to be deputies. The villagers built walls around some critical areas and added a strong vault for the bank, corrals for the horses, and barns and store-houses for food. The townspeople also all watched out for each other. They were neighbors and friends, who helped one another and kept an eye on unusual things. John even had the sheriff and the deputies ride the roads to check for trouble.

Enhanced Box Score: Cubs 9, Braves 3 – August 23, 2015
20. Games. Over. .500.
According to an in-game graphic on WGN, this is the Cubs' first time with four four-game sweeps in a season since 1935.
The Cubs went nuts on the long ball once again today, and got significant offensive contributions from all over. And then there was Jason Hammel, who managed to go 6.1 solid innings today, which will undoubtedly be a great first step to getting him back where he needs to be for the stretch run.
I'm so impressed – once again – to see this relatively young team lose two bad ones to the Tigers, and then come right back and blast the Braves in four.

Coats for Kids - 2017 Distribution Day - Shopping Assistant
There is no better feeling than seeing a child put on a coat that he or she has longed for. The smile is priceless and will last in your mind forever. Too many kids go cold in the winter simply because they don't have the luxury of having a nice coat to wear. But we are doing our part to change that and keep them warm.
As a shopping assistant volunteer, you will help the children and their families shop through the racks and assist with sizing a coat that fits!
Final details will be sent within one week of the event. Parking is free and will be available onsite.
Event location: Elements Financial Blue Ribbon Pavilion, Indiana State Fairgrounds
To ensure the safety of our volunteers, our clients and The Salvation Army; those who sign-up for the Saturday, October 21st Distribution Day will be required to attend a brief orientation including details from The Salvation Army's Safe From Harm risk prevention program training prior to the start of their scheduled shift. Please plan to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled beginning of your shift.

- Nod and a Wink & Nowzad Dogs
Nod and a Wink & Nowzad Dogs
We're delighted to announce that we are working in partnership with the Nowzad Dogs Charity.
Nowzad Dogs has been formed to relieve the suffering of animals in Afghanistan and to do something positive for the many dogs and cats that have no hope and no body to care for them.
The life of Afghan animals is not one of comfort at the best of times; most of the day is spent hunting for scraps of food or hiding from the hot desert sun during the summer or the freezing cold of an Afghan winter night. There is definitely no pampered pet status in Afghanistan.
In January 2011, after many months of hard toil, Nowzad opened the very first and only officially recognized animal shelter in Afghanistan. To date Nowzad has reunited more than 200 soldiers from all over the world with their much loved adopted cats and dogs and they continue to be inundated with rescue requests on a daily basis.
As well as rescuing soldier's pets they also assist the local people by way of providing vaccinations for their cats and dogs and education on how to care for their pets. A lot of Afghans care deeply for their pets and are thrilled to bits that there is finally a place they can take their pets to show them off and have them vaccinated against disease and neutered.
What do you get ?
To support Nowzad use discount code NOWZAD at the checkout, not only do you get a fantastic 20% off your order from Nod and a Wink but we will also donate an additional 5% to Nowzad.
Got any Old / Unwanted / Ill-Fitting Bras ?
Nowzad Dogs have found a textile company in the UK that collects bras and the charity is able to raise money from every kilo they are able to send them !
They can collect ALL types of bras including ones with or without wires; brand new or well-worn, all we please ask is that they are washed before being sent. Once they have been received by the textiles company the bras are then sorted through and sent abroad where they can provide clothing for those who either do to have access to or are unable to afford new garments.
So come on ladies, spread the word for us and lets see if we can turn some old (washed) bras into hard cash for Nowzad.
If you would like to help the charity with their appeal by sending any bras you may have, please send them to the address below:

Also I don't know if I mentioned it but I'm District Leader now so that's kinda cool

Week 37
This week was really great! We had transfers and I got moved to a new area called Villa Alemana (German Village). I was a little bit disappointed when I found out that I had to move but I know this is where I'm supposed to be and I'm really grateful to be here. It's crazy how the Spirit works. As soon as I got here I felt like this was exactly where I was needed. My companion is Elder Beard from Highland, Utah and he's awesome. He just finished his training so he's pretty new and pumped to get work. Both of his trainers finished their missions with him so he's glad I'm not gonna finish on him. I got here and we got right to work. One of our investigators had her baptismal interview the second day I was here and she got baptized yesterday. It was really cool. She was an example for her family and now they want to get baptized now. Also we had stake conference yesterday and President Diaz spoke and then he was able to stay for the baptism. It was really cool cause he shared his testimony with the family about going to the temple and becoming eternal. It really touched them and they're gonna get baptized. I love this work and I love the opportunity that we all have to share this amazing message. Thanks everyone for the prayers and support. I hope everyone has an awesome week.

Week 36
Hey everyone! This week was really good. Really wet but really good. It poured for 4 days straight. It was really hard but it actually wasn't too bad. People actually feel bad for you when you have to walk around in the rain and sometimes they let you in just cause they feel bad. This week we were mostly looking to find more investigators. We did a lot of contacting and looking for new people to teach. We made a lot of appointments for this week so we'll see what happens. A lot of them seem like they have potential to progress. Also this week we have transfers but I'm pretty sure we're gonna stay cause we both just got here and it's only been one change. Anything could happen but I think we're gonna stay.
As far as investigators go, we had a cool lesson with this couple this week. The guy is 100% willing to join the church. He knows more about church history than some members. She is finding her testimony slowly but surely. Anyway, in the lesson he straight up asked us, "If I'm gonna get baptized, what do I have to do?" We told him they had to get married and he said "Ok" They just need to go get some stuff signed and they'll be good to go.
That's mostly it for now. Thanks for all the prayers and support. I love all you guys. I hope everyone has an awesome week.
Monday, April 11, 2016
Week 35
Hey everyone! This week was good. We had trouble finding a lot of our investigators at home but we were still able to find some people teach. Getting married isn't too popular here so we're trying help a couple of our investigators get married so they can get baptized. Also this week while we were on exchanges this week with the other Elders in our district, we ate horse steak for lunch. It was actually a lot like cow. It looks the same and it tastes similar. It's a little bit chewier but I really liked it. Also it was my companion's birthday yesterday so we had a little celebration. And one of the member's gave us a cake. So it was actually a pretty sweet day. That's mostly it for this week but thanks everyone for all the prayers and support. I hope everyone has a great week.
Monday, April 4, 2016
Week 34
Hey everyone! This week was awesome. Mainly because we got to hear from the leaders of our church. Conference was so awesome. We were lucky enough to be able to watch in English. It really was something special. Maybe it's just cause I'm a missionary but I loved it. I learned lots of things that I want to put into practice now and after the mission. It was really really great. I'm so grateful for the restored gospel. The more I learn, the more I realize that this is more than just the true church. This is the only way to be truly and eternally happy forever. And we have the responsibility to share this message and help others find their way too. I love all you guys and I appreciate all the prayers and support. May we all put into practice at least one thing that we learned from Conference and get better every day. I hope everyone has an awesome week.

PAMS Foundation supports the National and Transnational Serious Crimes Investigation Unit (NTSCIU) and the recently established Wildlife & Forestry Crime Task Force (WFCTF) under the Ministry of Natural Resources & Tourism, known as the
PAMS Foundation supports the National and Transnational Serious Crimes Investigation Unit (NTSCIU) and the recently established Wildlife & Forest Crime Task Force (WFCTF) under the Ministry of Natural Resources & Tourism, known as the National Task Force: Anti-Poaching.
PAMS has provided vehicles, technical support and expertise, equipment, operational finance, training, logistical and other support to the Task Force. This enables them to undertake regular and ongoing Intelligence-led law enforcement operations and prosecution activities in the Ruaha-Rungwa, Katavi, Selous, Tarangire-Lake Manyara-Ngorongoro ecosystems and the urban centers of Dar es Salaam, Arusha and Dodoma.
Their work has been internationally acclaimed as arguably the best of its kind and has been extremely productive in terms of producing results. There have been unprecedented numbers of arrests, seizures, convictions and reductions in poaching produced from this effort. It is estimated that more than 65% (on average) of the major poaching syndicates operating in the Ruaha, Katavi, Selous, Tarangire-Manyara ecosystems, and more than 80% of their sponsors in the cities including Dar es Salaam and Dodoma have been dealt meaningful blows due to these operations. The impact of these operations has dramatically reduced the killing of elephants across Tanzania.
One of NTSCIU's most publicized cases involve the arrest and successful prosecution of Boniface Mariango, aka Shetani, "The Devil", a notorious trafficker sentenced to 12 years in prison in March 2017. Shetani had a poaching network across five African countries responsible for the deaths of thousands of elephants. A second highly publicized case internationally is that of Yang Fen Glan, aka The Ivory Queen, who has been involved in wildlife crime in Tanzania for decades.
While these cases have received ongoing media attention, several others have been even more significant in terms of their scope, cracking syndicates that ran from East to West Africa and over to Southeast Asia.
PAMS Foundation is proud to be associated with the development of best practice approaches internationally and in assisting the Tanzania government with achieving outstanding results, where these have been most needed. Thank you to our growing numbers of sponsors! Financial support provided for Tanzania through the PAMS Foundation is guaranteed to produce tangible and meaningful results.

A San Francisco janitor who had his face slashed by a passenger while working a nightshift as an UberX driver has filed a lawsuit seeking workers compensation insurance coverage from Uber Technologies, the ride hailing platform that classifies its drivers as independent contractors.
The lawsuit, which was filed by Abdo Ghazi in San Francisco Superior Court on April 28, is seeking class action status as well as an injunction, damages and penalties against Uber, which declined Friday to comment.
It is the latest in a line of similar lawsuits with potentially far reaching implications for the on-demand economy that have been filed against Uber and other new tech platforms insisting that the workers providing the actual services they advertise be treated as employees.

Woz schoolPosted on 14. Jun, 2012 by awsome_helper in
How do I contact Woz or his school? I would like to find out about elementary school curriculum.
Sorry, but I'm totally overloaded with email every day. My own computer classes take students from the local schools, including the local elementary school, but I have a very different curriculum than is appropriate for almost any other school. I buy totally new equipment and software to help my class run smoothly each year, without constant problems or excess work to take a wider range of equipment and needs into account.
Computer Program in SchoolPosted on 14. Jun, 2012 by awsome_helper in
My name is Lisa L. I am interestd in setting up a computer program in West Virginia like the one Mr. Wozniak has set up for the Los Gatos schools. I have the funding to buy the computers, but I was wondering if it would be possible to sit in on some of the classes so I can see how it's being done here.
I am a tech support engineer for Calico Commerce, and have recently graduated from Cornell University.
It is possible to sit in on some classes. My current class is on hold until January due to one son's wrestling schedule. I'm doing less of the teaching than ever before this year because I'm so busy. But I direct the program content and teach some subjects.
The current class is not my starter class, which I think relates more to other schools. This is an advanced class. We touch on semi-professional uses of the computer and much greater skill than in just a 1-year (200 hour) course.
