We all know the essentials that comprise the average homeowner's unassuming toolshed, but what about those slightly bigger toys that you need now and then, for that odd job the humble hammer is just not going to do justice?
There are some great gadgets out there for the everyday man that will save your skin at just the right time, every time. They might also inspire you to venture out into the toolshed more often. Here are three heavy duty DIY tools you can get creative with out of the garage.
A Sledgehammer
The first heavy-duty DIY tool that is going to come in handy as you become more proficient at home jobs – that trusty old water cylinder is eventually going to leak is the sledgehammer. A cousin of the traditional hammer, the sledgehammer is bigger, heftier, and can tackle those more labor intensive jobs that a hammer just won't do justice.
While there are typically two weights that the sledgehammer falls in, the slightly lighter one coming in at 10 pounds will be more than enough to get around those heavy projects you've got lined up to attack when the weekend comes around. From breaking apart stubborn wedges of wood that won't seem to budge, to bringing down those old beams in the garage that have been needing replacing for years, a sledgehammer is the type of tool which you'll quickly find useful for all kinds of home jobs.
A Welding Machine
The second heavy duty DIY tool that will save you a lot in the long run because nobody wants to have to hire one of these every time they need it is a welder. If you're a petrol head who just loves to get down and dirty with the inner workings of your vehicle every Saturday, then you'll find that a welder will come in handy.
Even if you're just trying to find something to get the kids out of the house and into the yard, there are endless projects to get their creative juices flowing. From making a bookend and connecting those two last pieces of metal, to reconstructing the interior of your car to match the neighbors project, a welder is the kind of tool that'll make your life easier. Check out Best TIG Welder Reviews – List, Comparison, and Guide | prowelderguide.com for the full range.
A Pipe Wrench
The third and final heavy duty DIY tool is slightly more specific in its practicality but nonetheless helpful and the perfect fit for those sticky situations you can find yourself in as a homeowner – the pipe wrench. A pipe wrench, true to its name, is a wrench that tends to cater primarily to the fixing and adjusting of pipes. However, when you have a tube that has malfunctioned or even just one that needs fitting correctly, there's no other tool for the job.
Every home is bound to experience plumbing problems at some point in its long and happy life, so you're guaranteed to be calling for this exact tool more often than not. You have a choice of cast iron or aluminum, and while cast iron will ensure quality and endurance with that heavy duty task, aluminum lasts the mile if you've got lots of little jobs.
When it comes to DIY tools for the home, it's always better to be safe than sorry. Owning a home comes with its excitement and unexpected adventures, so it's better to be prepared and ready to deal with anything that crops up rather than being left out in the cold. With heavy-duty DIY tools, you can even have a little fun with it, getting creative with the kinds of projects you can find lying around the house that has been wanting your attention for months, plus, the kids will want to get involved as well.

Songs evoke so much more than just a melody when you hear them. They trigger memories, bring back former loves, and even encompass entire time periods in your life. Perhaps that's why most people in my age demographic completely lost their minds when they heard that unforgettable opening to Missy Elliott's hit track "Work It" drop during Katy Perry's Super Bowl halftime show performance.
When I hear Missy, I remember my middle school days in Miami. I remember hearing that infamous beat from "Work It" blasting from phones in the hallway as preteen students walked from class to class, a pop in their step because you couldn't hear it without wanting to twerk (and yes, Miami was already twerking in 2002). I remember hearing it at every party where I was still too awkward and shy around boys to actually dance with any of them, but had the best time dancing with my gal pals. Cooties, amiright?
Those are the memories and feelings that all came rushing back in the split second moment I realized Missy Elliott was about to become the Super Bowl MVP. I couldn't be happier that her tunes have been experiencing an awesome resurgence since her halftime appearance. I hadn't listened to her music in fuh-eva myself and I've been jamming to them for the past few weeks.
And so, to say the least, I was ECSTATIC when I trolled Soundcloud and realized that Missy's back! Well, sort of. Not with original music, but with a dope remix of Jack U & Kiesza's "Take U There." It's got the Missy flavor we all know and love on a very different kind of track for her.
Twerk. Twerk. Twerk.

Sightings of women in stockings – three
October 17, 2016 By Leave a Comment
Today I spent the whole day interviewing in the Jarvis Hotel lounge. Imagine my delight when a very smartly dressed lady, probably in her mid 30s, sat a little to my left about 15 feet in front of me. She was wearing a black two piece suit with a skirt just above the knee and four-inch black heels. I'd noticed her glossy legs before she sat down which had already got my attention but the thrill when she did sit had … [Read more...]

Confirmed sighting last night at bar. I know for sure 'cos I asked her! I was in a bar last night - the bar is underground. As I was walking past the stair to the outside - I noticed a woman in a just above the knee red dress walking up the stairs. As ever on the lookout I checked out the hemline - and there were the two tell-tale dark bands visible. Emboldened by three pints of Timothy Taylor Landlord and some … [Read more...]

CAB wastes no time telling Gilligan 'pack your bags and get out'
The Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) has wasted no time in ordering crimelord John Gilligan and his family to get out of the homes they bought with the proceeds of crime.
Only hours after the Gilligans lost their Supreme Court appeal against the seizure of the properties, CAB sent letters to the family's solicitors seeking vacant possession of the homes.
Gilligan's wife, Geraldine, and daughter, Tracey, live in a bungalow beside the already-seized Jessbrook Equestrian Centre in Kildare, while his son, Darren, lives in a house in Corduff Avenue, Blanchardstown.
A third property owned by the Gilligans, in Willsbrook View, Lucan, has been in the control of CAB and is rented out on a long-term basis.
The court ruling means CAB can seize all three properties and sell them.
It also means the Gilligans are technically homeless after a battle with CAB that has lasted more than 20 years and been dragged through nearly every court in the land.
John and Geraldine Gilligan bought the Jessbrook property in 1987. In 1996, they bought the Corduff Avenue house for €7,000 from the local authority after renting it since1977.
In 1995, Gilligan bought the Willsbrook View house for €73,000 and registered it in his daughter's name.
"Letters were issued to Gilligan's solicitors within hours of the ruling," a CAB source told the Herald. "The process of getting those properties is now under way and we are looking for vacant possession now."
CAB is now awaiting a response from the Gilligans.
"We can finally see the end of this long drawn-out matter," said the source.
The Herald can also reveal that CAB has received several queries from interested parties in relation to the Jessbrook property.
There was no sign of activity yesterday at the bungalow near Enfield.
The property is hidden at the top of a tree-lined avenue beside the equestrian centre that was seized and sold by CAB.
The bungalow was bought by the Gilligans before they bought the adjoining land and built the centre.
CAB has different options available to it in relation to the three homes.
While the Blanchardstown and Lucan houses will most likely be valued and sold on the open market, the Jessbrook property could be treated diff- erently.
It is unclear what the planning status of the bungalow is because there certain additions were made to the building in the past.
Depending on planning permission, some of these structures may be subject to applications for retention.
If there are difficulties, the Department of Public Enterprise and Reform, which becomes the new owners after the seizures occur, could have to apply for permission to demolish the property if a buyer cannot be found.
In Italy, where many businesses and properties are seized from Mafia gangs, the Italian equivalent of CAB often puts the buildings in trust for use by local communities.
This is seen as a way of giving a benefit back to the public, and if such a move was to be arranged with the bungalow it could become a refuge or a centre for a local charitable cause.

how do you get a photo from my dell laptop D420 to print out on my dell 725 printer.
edited by moderator: Deleted extraneous qs
First I would check your q key, it seems to be stuck.
Assuming you have the printer installed and configured properly it just right click on the photo in windows explorer and select print. Need more information as to why you cannot print.
Is your laptop set up already for printing to that printer?
If yes, then just double click on the icon for the photo and Windows will open the picture in its photo viewer program. There are print and print options there (I have not had XP at home for quite a while so I do not remember all of the details, but the options are there).
If no, then you need to set it up for printing first so include details.
Is the printer attached to another computer?
If yes, is it shared?
Is the printer networked?
Do you have wireless or wired access to the network, printer, or computer the printer is connected?
More details.
You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.

Bali... the revisit
You've probably seen the post about Ayana Resort but there's so much more to Bali. It's hard to put into words. In the west, we are taught to think that someone wants something when they're being nice. In Bali everyone is always nice. It takes a while getting used to. And you can't wipe the smile from their face.
There are amazing bars, restaurants and resorts. Sadly the Balinese architecture is making way for the modern luxuries.
5 days wasn't nearly enough. Cannot wait to go back.

I love your colorful dress in the last few photos. I've never been to Bali, we always go to the Philippines to visit family instead. The same goes there with happiness, everyone is always happy 24/7. I love it.
So glad you're back in internet land, looking forward to future posts.
I would love to visit there - your pictures are incredible and while we're on the subject can we please discuss your dress?? It is beautiful!!ReplyDelete
Love all these bali photos and the ayana post!ReplyDelete
when i went to bali last time it rained a lot too!
im going back soon and hoping to stay at the ayana.
it looks pretty booked out though!
must be quite popular.
i was the same as your partner with bali.
when i arrived i was like wth get me out of here.
it smells weird the cars are mental.
the taxi stand at the airport was mental.
but then after you stay for a bit you really get won over by the balinese people.
they're so nice.

In the depths of the Great Depression, Samuel Gofen and William Glossberg established the investment counselling firm of Gofen and Glossberg. Our founders' vision was the same then as it is today: to help clients achieve their financial goals through wise investment guidance.
The end of WWII marked the beginning of the postwar economic boom, a period of economic growth and prosperity that lasted for more than two decades. The firm's clients rode the wave of prosperity with investment portfolios that benefited from the rise of the middle class, greater demand for housing and automobiles, and the need for greater infrastructure development. During this period, the second generation of Gofen and Glossberg, Bill Gofen and Joe Glossberg, joined the firm.
OPEC drove oil prices skyward in the early 1970s, triggering high inflation and a steep decline in stocks. Investors suffered through a decade of slow economic growth and weak markets. Positive trends that emerged as a result of the oil embargo, however, included a shift to alternate energy sources, a push for more fuel-efficient means of transportation, and a focus on new areas of energy exploration.
Fed Chairman Paul Volcker raised interest rates to 20%, sending the economy into recession but ultimately ending the long period of stagflation and setting the stage for the robust economic growth of the 1980s and 1990s.
The Initial Public Offering of web browser company Netscape marked the beginning of the "dot-com" bull market of 1995-99. Technology stocks soared to extreme valuations amid the market exuberance, but the bubble burst in 2000.
Easy lending policies and limited regulatory oversight fueled a multi-year rise in housing formation and a spike in home prices. When housing prices declined, foreclosures rose, credit dried up, the U.S. economy fell into a deep recession and the stock market declined by more than 50%. Ultimately, with significant assistance from the Fed, the U.S. economy turned the corner and the stock market eventually reached new highs.

During the London elections of May 1st, 2008, Animals Count (AC) became the first political party for the animals to contest a UK election. Launched in 2006 by London-based animal welfare scientist and educator Jasmijn de Boo, AC was established to raise the status of animal issues within UK politics. We've grown from the successful Dutch Party for the Animals, which is the fastest growing political party in Europe.
Animals Count aims to set the standard as the political party advocating most strongly for animals within the UK, whilst also supporting other socially and environmentally responsible policies. We seek to demonstrate by example, that comprehensive, well-reasoned policies on animal issues are not only possible, but desirable, and can enhance the manifestos of political parties. We've had some success at encouraging the adoption of animal-friendly policies by other parties with a far greater command of political power. Indeed, the potential to positively influence much larger parties offers the greatest potential benefits. Accordingly, we have met various MPs to advocate animal-friendly policies. Additionally, we seek to demonstrate that voters care about animal issues, by directly contesting elections.
This presentation by AC's Spokesperson reviews political parties and actions for animals within Europe and abroad; describes the development of AC; outlines our main policies; and our strategies for raising the status of animal issues within UK politics.

What if you could find new business using a powerful hidden sales team that's already at your disposal? Employees within your own company are one of the best sources of new business—and have the most untapped potential. Really.
Homegrown Sales Sources
I am always amazed when my clients discover that a person in their San Francisco office has an ideal contact for their Atlanta, Prague, or Shanghai offices. I was conducting a call with representatives from my client's Chicago, Portland, Toronto, and Los Angeles offices. One of the salespeople in Portland described a new client he was about to win. His counterpart in Los Angeles said they were doing business with that company in Southern California. The two decided to link up and work on a strategy together.
You would think that with advances in databases and technology, these two salespeople would have discovered their common client well before our call. However, in this case—as in many—the offices were fairly autonomous, and they did not have processes and accountabilities in place to collaborate across offices.
It's time to think beyond yourself, your sales executives, and sales support as the only members of your team. Think beyond your immediate team, and beyond your geographic office. Think about the obvious: Think of everyone within your company or organization as a much-needed, ready-to-be-activated resource to grow your business—exponentially.
The Secret: Look Within
Salespeople within your company have huge potential to help you expand your reach. They know people in your territory—in the companies you're are targeting. Everyone, regardless of their role in the sales organization, is part of your sales team. Your employees and co-workers can help you tap into more industry knowledge. They may have insight into an organization's culture, structure, or politics—and may be a surprisingly valuable sounding board to discuss account strategy.
The fact is, the best resource for potential new business is all around you. Everyone in your organization knows dozens and maybe even hundreds of other people. Whom do you think understands the value of your organization better than the people who work there? And who could possible have more invested in your company's success? Your job will be to bring everyone into the sales process. Start by finding out whom they know. To do that, you need to help everyone in your organization understand that they are part of the sales team—whether they have an official sales title or not.
Where did your fellow employees work before they came to your company? Who is their next door neighbor? Who is their brother who works at your prospect company? Spend the time to talk to them, learn about their history, and what is important to them. Help everyone to understand that with every sale, your company—their company—prospers and their job becomes more secure.
Yes, you need to ask your employees to be part of your sales team!

Attention: cottonball, virus deleted all SD photos
Having some of the same issues as from this time: ZeroAccess! Attention: cottonball.
This round, whatever is in my computer has deleted all the photos on my SD card :-/ I ran RogueKiller and came up with this report:
I think these viruses are coming infected USB drives. In the future, any recommendations for prevention software I can run to pre-scan USB drives for viruses? I'd love to never run into these problems again!
|My System Specs
|15 Aug 2013
Which AntiVirus program are you using?
Is it set to scan USB drives? Some programs do not do this by default.
Pressing on with RogueKiller...
Make sure you downloaded the latest version of the program. Several updates have been made to it recently:
RogueKiller download
Select the download that applies to your system (32-bit, or, 64-bit)
Quit all programs
Right-click the RogueKiller file and select: Run as Administrator
Wait until the Prescan finishes
Press: Scan
When the scan is done, press the [Shortcut-Fix] button.
Please post the new RKreport (Mode: Delete) created on the Desktop in your reply.
Also download the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool
Select the version that applies to the system.
Save it to the Desktop.

For protecting your PC from infected pen drives, you may look into Panda USB Vaccine.
ANTIMALWARE: Panda USB Vaccine - Download FREE - PANDA SECURITY
Panda USB Vaccine Free Download - Remove Autorun.inf Virus
If you are going to use it, do make sure that you vaccinate your clean PC with it, before plugging in any USB pen drive. (You may devaccinate your PC after unplugging the pen drive, so that autorun is again enabled for the other devices on your PC, if you so desire.)
There are many other tools too.
The paid Autorun Virus Remover can protect your PC and also remove the autorun virus and seems to be more versatile but for a steep price.
Ninja Pendisk seems to be more popular. So I guess it is a positive point for it. ( I have no means to test or try any of these.:)) From what I have read and researched, I may consider only these three.

I'm running Webroot Security Anywhere. It is set to scan USB drives, so I'm not entirely sure why it's not catching any!
@jumanji, thanks for those links, I went ahead and dloaded Panda USB Vaccine.
Here are the two reports:
FRST Report: FRST.txt
RKiller Report: RKreport_8_16.txt
|My System Specs
|16 Aug 2013
Are the files on the SD showing after using the Shortcut Fix?
This virus appears to be launched through the auturun.inf file when a USB device or SD card is connected to the computer. The virus adds a line to the autorun.inf file, creates shortcuts of folders, changes the attributes of folders to hidden and also may create a random named folder on the USB drive or SD card. Within this random named folder, the .exe file producing the shortcuts of your original folders is found.
If RogueKiller did not take care of the issue, please do the following:
Press the Windows Key and the R key at the same time.
In the Run prompt, type the following in the Open area, and press Enter: cmd
When the Command Prompt opens, copy/paste (with the mouse) the following, and press Enter
attrib -h -r -s /s /d X:\*.*
Press: Enter
Post back on whether the files are now visible.
If still no go, we'll check out the content of the SD card, and take action from there.

Let's see if we can overcome the "Access Denied" notice, and also get some info...
Please download the latest version of WinRAR archiver, a powerful tool to process RAR and ZIP files
Select the 32-bit or 64-bit version that applies to your system.
Save to the Desktop.
Note that this download is a trial version of the WinRAR archiver for use during a test period of 40 days.
Double-click the downloaded program to install...
At the WinRAR Setup, click: OK
On the last prompt, feel free to check any of the tabs, and, when finished, press: Done
Close out of WinRAR.
Next, please plug in the SD card and restart the computer in Safe Mode with Command Prompt as follows:
*As the computer starts, tap the F8 key on your keyboard repeatedly until you are presented with the Windows 7 Advanced Boot Options menu.
*Using the arrow keys, select: Safe Mode with Command Prompt
*Press the Enter key on the keyboard, and let the computer boot to the option selected.
At the Command Prompt, copy/paste (with the mouse) the following commands contained inside the code box, and press Enter:
(If J the actual letter of the drive.)
attrib -h -r -s /s /d J:\*.* shutdown /r
"You are about to be logged off.
Windows will shut down in less than one minute."
When the computer restarts, check the SD card once again, and post back on whether you can see the images.
If still no-go, tap the F8 key, and once again select: Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Press the Enter key on the keyboard, and let the computer boot to the option selected.
At the Command Prompt, copy/paste (with the mouse) the following commands contained inside the code box, and press Enter:
(If J the actual letter of the drive.)
J: attrib -s -h -a attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf shutdown /r
"You are about to be logged off.
Windows will shut down in less than one minute."
When the computer restarts, open WinRAR.exe and browse to the SD card using WinRAR's explorer.
After locating the SD card, open it in WinRAR to show all the files, including those that are hidden.
Search for the file Autorun.inf, open it with Notepad, name it arfile, and save it to the Desktop.
Please post the content of the Notepad arfile in your reply.

Just to add to what cottonball has said about using WinRAR:
IMO, it is not necessary to run WinRAR in safe mode. You can run Windows in normal mode. ( If there is any reason why cottonball wants it to be run in Safe mode, I do not know. :))
Boot into Windows. Keep the Shift key pressed for a while, while inserting the SD Card which is necessary to disable autorun temporarily for that event. Open WinRAR, navigate to your SD Card and explore. Open the autorun file in notepad and post its contents.
(You can also open other folders and see whether any one of those contains your data and post your findings.You may also post a screenshot of the SD Card's content as seen in WinRAR.)

Florida Probate – What Happens When the Original Will is Lost or Cannot Be Located
Posted By Larry on November 19, 2009
If a Testator was last seen in possession of his Will and, after his death, the Will cannot be found, Florida law presumes that the Testator destroyed it during his lifetime and thus "revoked" it. A proponent of the Florida Will, likely a beneficiary, may rebut this presumption by establishing that the Will was destroyed or lost without the Testator's consent, i.e. by someone other than the Testator, or when he lacked the legal capacity to revoke it. The Probate court will consider all potentially relevant factors in determining whether the proponent of the Will has carried his burden, such as if persons who had been disinherited in the Will had access to where the missing Will was presumably located, etc.
If the Florida probate court finds in favor of the proponent of the Will, the proponent must then present two disinterested witnesses to attest to the contents of the Will. A carbon copy of the Will counts only as ONE witness, and a partial copy of the Will is likely useless. If the proponent satisfies this burden as well, he must, further, formally notify and, likely, fight legal claims brought by persons who would have taken the Testator's estate as intestate heirs if the Will not been admitted to probate.
What's my point? Only engage an experienced Florida estate-planning attorney to prepare your Will, and make sure that you place your original Florida Will in a safe place, including in your safety deposit bank. You should retain a copy in your home, with your attorney, and possibly with your designated personal representative, so that your last wishes are honored even if the Will is inadvertently lost or destroyed.
If you would like more information about this topic, you may either post a comment to this blog, contact me, Larry Tolchinsky, by email, or call me at (954) 458-8655 and I will be happy to answer your questions. I offer a free initial consultation.
One Response to "Florida Probate – What Happens When the Original Will is Lost or Cannot Be Located"
At first we were told there was a will and we could look at it. We have not seen or heard of the will since. Our son died and we now are caring for his 14 year old daughter. It looks like she will not be entitled to anything from his estate. This girl is not the daughter of my son's widow. The widow is entitled to free legal services through her job while we are on social security and cannot afford a probate lawyer to investigate the estate. I know that my son would never have left his daughter penniless. Do we have any recourse in this situation?

Could there be a better way to enjoy summer than with this delicious tropical Cilantro-Lime Salmon with Coconut Rice? I recently shared a salmon recipe with coconut rice and I fell absolutely in love with it so I decided to make something else along those lines and keep a great thing going. Believe it or not with THIS recipe I was able to get my husband and my daughter who don't like shrimp to eat it and love it! It has such a bright, fresh lime flavor and the cilantro and garlic add just that much more deliciousness. And this coconut rice, don't get me started! I've been obsessed for the last few weeks since I first tried it (seriously though, where has it been all my life?) and I got my mom hooked too, she's been eating it probably 5 times a week since she's on a low gluten diet. It's just so much more exciting than plain white rice and it's so delicious plain on it's own. It has such a rich flavor, a slightly creamy texture (but don't worry it's not mushy) and the coconut undertones will leave you craving more (note that if you want a stronger coconut flavor just stir in some shredded coconut when you fluff the rice after it has cooked).
If you, like I have been, are trying to get someone else in your family to enjoy shrimp then this may likely be the recipe to do just that! And better yet this is a quick and easy dish to prepare – all around dinner win! Plus it can be made into a fun family dinner if you serve it up island style with pineapple and some kind of tropical punch, then decorate the table with bright, tropical colored flowers. Enjoy summer while it lasts!
Cilantro Lime Shrimp with Coconut Rice
Did you make this recipe? Leave a review.
Yield: 4 servings
- 1 1/4 lbs large shrimp (I used 26/30), deveined and peeled
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/3 cup sliced then chopped green onions
- 3 cloves garlic , minced (1 Tbsp)
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
- 1/2 tsp lime zest
- Coconut Rice*
Prepare rice about 25 minutes before preparing shrimp as it takes 20 minutes to cook and 5 minutes resting time until it's ready.
Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add green onions and garlic and saute until garlic is light golden, about 30 seconds. Add shrimp, sprinkle cumin evenly over top, season with salt and pepper to taste and saute until shrimp is opaque and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, toss with lime juice, cilantro and lime zest. Serve warm over coconut rice.

Condemnation of the Tango when the Church still had a Catholic Pope:
On behalf of Pope St. Pius X, the Vicar General of Rome Card. Basilio Pompili issued a Pastoral Letter in 1914 denouncing the tango as highly damaging to the soul. The Cardinal stated:
"The tango, which has already been condemned by illustrious Bishops and is prohibited even in Protestant countries, must be absolutely prohibited in the see of the Roman Pontiff, the centre of the Catholic religion." He urged the clergy to courageously raise their voices "to defend the sanctity of Christian customs against the threatening danger and overwhelming immorality of the new paganism." He also warned parents that if they do not protect their children from such corruption, they will be guilty before God of failing in their most sacred duties.
(The New York Times, January 16, 1914)

Psalm 51:4-5
4 Against You, You only, I have sinned And done what is evil in Your sight, So that You are justified when You speak And blameless when You judge. 5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.
Although David had obviously sinned against Bathsheba, Uriah, Bathsheba's grandfather and the people involved in the entire scheme with him; David knew and confessed that his sin was against the Lord. Therefore any judgment that God rendered was justified. This was a major admission for David. He understood that the judgment of God had already been served as recorded " 3 When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away Through my groaning all day long. 4 For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; My vitality was drained away…" [Psalm 32:3-4] and that it was justified.
We need to contemplate the fact that our sin is ultimately against God and that sin has consequences. In Psalm 38 David again revisited his suffering after sinning with Bathsheba as he described a terrible disease; " 3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation; There is no health in my bones because of my sin….5 My wounds grow foul and fester Because of my folly…. 7 For my loins are filled with burning,…" David is describing a terrible disease that he believed God had inflicted on him because of his sin and folly. He was willing to admit to everyone the serious of his sin and its judgment. Sin ultimately leads to suffering.
But we say I have not committed big sins like adultery and murdered one of my most important subordinates. However, Jesus expanded the commandments to include anger as equivalent to murder and lust to adultery. [Matthew 5:21-22; 27-8] All of us are just as susceptible to sin as David. Any sin of whatever size in our eye is a sin against God that we are answerable for. There will be consequences for us just like for David, even though forgiven.
V.5 David is confessing that he was born with a sin nature like everyone else since Adam and Eve sinned in Eden. The gospel of Jesus Christ provides the only answer to our sin.
Why is it easier to point out the sin others than to recognize the sin in my life? The realization that my sin is against God and others should stimulate me to confession and repentance.
Henry Luke 8/8/21017

My great People Exploration Adventure continued on Day 3 at Huntington Beach CA. I had a first goal – draw numbers in the wet sand while the waves rolled in. It was more like a mission – yes, like a life or death mission. Yet, it was my life's mission to draw numbers in sand while I listened to the waves pound steadily on to the shore.
It's all about my meditation. Getting to a truly relaxed state of calm meditation in the length of one minute. One minute as in 60 seconds. Achieve focus. Gain connection with the Infinite.
Some people call it prayer. Other like Neale Donald Walsch might call it "Conversation with God".
Since I was a young boy, I had problems with prayer. I always felt it was toward a 'being' who didn't care and never seemed to answer. Yet, many people told me that … that God … was Infinite.
"How could that be?" I usually asked.
Again … no answers ever came.
Let's get to the numbers … if it's okay with you?
I made sure that my footprint in the sand got into the photo and I stuck the stick with which I made the numbers into the beach sand right next to my rectangle 1 through 6.
This is how the meditation goes …
While you breathe in, imagine you are carving 1,2,3,4,5, and 6 into the beach sand while beginning a vertical pattern. Then, hold the breath in, while you write in your imagination a horizontal 1,2,3,4,5, and 6 into the sand, but listen and hear the ocean waves pound onto the beach. Hear the waves and hear your stick scratching the numbers into the wet sand.
It's important to … SEE the numbers being drawn.
Then, forming a small 'O' with your lips, begin a slow, slow exhale. Releasing the air from your lungs through that small O. And also count down from 6, drawing the numbers – 6,5,4,3,2,1 – vertically downward. during your slow exhale … while listening to hear the waves pound and the stick scratching the beach sand. Of course, SEE the numbers you form.
Then do another 6,5,4,3,2,1 while breathing out … to finish the rectangle.
You're there. Connected to the Infinite. Actually, you are always connected to the Infinite (because that's what 'Infinite' means, doesn't it?). It's just that doing this tremendously quick series of a 4 – 6 count rectangle, your mind shifts it's focus from the Life stuff that gets in the way … to the connection that's "here and now" with the Infinite that's always 'here and now'.
What people told me that might take hours … or never … now comes easily in a happy 60 seconds.
Call me if you need help with this => 480-799-0996. Let's talk.

Keeping the Facts Straight…
11/3/2011 "I don't even wanna begin… Tell the ones you love that you love them and pray for the ones you hate and tell them you love them too… I feel a change is coming and we need to get right." ~ Personal Facebook Message from Reese Kirkland Jr. to Kitty Y. Williams
In our many conversations, Kirkland admitted to me a long time ago that he was not a perfect man but was working to get his life right for his daughter so he could be the best Father he could be. Sure he's made some mistakes but who hasn't? Once you recognize your flaws, working to fix them (if they need to be fixed) is what counts. In his last years, Reese got involved with a new church family, attended bible study regularly and was very active in the organization. In fact, on the same day that he was taken away from us, he had just left bible study and his brothers in Christ drove him to pick up "Michelle", now 5 years old. According to one of his best friends and the driver that night Leroy Velasquez, via television and radio interviews with KHOU11 and The Gathering of Christ Church, he noticed that Reese (in the church known as Tawab Rawchaa) was taking longer than usual to come back with his daughter. When he got out of the car to go see what happened, he heard Reese screaming for help and followed his voice to the apartment where he witnessed him being pushed out of the doorway, discarded like trash by "Sarah", the mother of his first and only child. As Velasquez pulled his brother over his shoulder and rushed back to the car, Tawab was very upset that his daughter had witnessed the entire incident. Apparently there was an argument at the door that escalated.
According to Reese's dying testimony, "Sarah" pulled out a taser and electrocuted him and then he was stabbed by her new boyfriend, all while 5-year old "Michelle" watched helplessly. While the couple told police they did it in self defense, the evidence may suggest otherwise. He was penetrated 10 times all over his body with the knife and according to what the Doctor told Leroy and the family, he would have lived if he had not been tased at the same time. But due to the irregularities of his heart beat from the electrical currents and the shock from the murder weapon, his heart gave out. How did things escalate to this level with a man who was there only to pick up his daughter for the weekend? Reportedly, the new boyfriend had tried to run Reese over with his car in the past and put hands on his daughter as well. Sadly it went unreported. So during this night when the argument occurred, the door was damaged when a physical altercation erupted outside then carried on inside at which time things got out of control and developed into a fatal ending.
The Final "Graduation"…
In his radio interview with The GOCC, Velasquez recalled Kirkland's final moments (paraphrased):
"After I saw her push him out the door, he started crawling to me asking for help. I picked him up over my shoulder and put him in the car and began driving to the nearest hospital. I asked him what happened. While I was driving, I kept hearing a strange buzzing noise coming from the back of the car. When I had a chance to stop and look back, I saw that a taser was still going off near Tawab. I asked him where he got that from and he said he got it from "Sarah". He said she tased him and then her boyfriend stabbed him all with "Michelle" right there. As I turned around and continued to drive toward the hospital, he told me to pray for him. I told him 'No, I'm not going to pray for you' because I didn't think it was that serious at first. But then he yelled out 'PRAY FOR ME!' So I did. When I turned back to look at him, he looked at me in a way as if to say 'Thank You.' He then looked up toward the sky, with no fear in his eyes and said 'I'm passing, I'm passing now…'"
That change Reese warned me about in 2011 had finally come to pass. He knew in his Spirit that something was wrong with the world. I now wonder if he sensed that he himself was in any danger. I still can't believe the irony in how he died for the one thing he cared for more than life itself, his daughter. All he wanted to do was spend time with her and be a Good Father. She was the love of his life and made him a better person. You can clearly see that on this segment we filmed on "Young Parenting". He confessed to me that he and the mother of his child had not been able to get along and she continued trying to withhold "Michelle" from him too often since they were so off and on as a couple at the time. So we agreed to discuss this issue on the air which we knew many young people our age were experiencing and could relate to. He pleaded for everyone to work together, especially in the Urban community. He literally pleaded. Isn't it crazy that if he had been a "Deadbeat Dad" and let the new boyfriend take care of his daughter and not come around at all, then he might still be alive today?
It's Not Goodbye But See You Later…
As the saying goes, No parent should ever have to bury their child. And no one should ever have to bury their loved one because of unnecessary violence. It's one thing when a total stranger kicks down your door. You cannot convince me there was any reason other than jealousy and anger one someone's behalf to electrocute and stab an unarmed man of God to death who was only there to pick up his daughter as scheduled. My only comfort now is knowing that Tawab was able to tell his brethren what really went down before he passed, that there was someone who loved him there to hold him in his final moments and that he knew and verbalized what was going on as he crossed over and had no fear of what awaited him on the other side.
On Thursday 2/27/2014 I received an email from one of his sisters, Tenique, advising me of the dates for his Wake and Funeral. I hadn't attended this type of thing in 7 years since my Grandfather passed and wasn't sure I was ready to do it again, but I had to. Friday morning I woke up, paced the house for a while, got dressed, prayed and then headed out to McCoy and Harrison Chapel off of MLK Blvd and Old Spanish Trail around noon. It was so strange because my Grandfather's funeral was also held on an MLK Blvd but in Mobile, Alabama. As I prepared to jump on 59, I struggled to keep my vision clear from the tears. At one point I looked to my right and saw a random white bicycle tied to a sign post on the side of the road. But what was so odd about it, is the entire bike was white. The tires, handle bars, the metal, everything… and was just so out of place.
When I pulled into the parking lot of the chapel, I saw two ladies getting into their vehicle and I gave a smile then did a double take wondering if they were family. I walked inside, the lady pointed me in the right direction and as I walked into the back of the room with the open casket up front, I was terrified for the moment because there was no one else in there, just me and Reese. I almost turned around and walked out in silly fear but knew I needed to say one last goodbye to the good friend who let his light shine in my life; it was best to do it while no one else was in the room. So I made my way up there, looked from a slight distance, then got close, then backed up, convinced myself briefly it wasn't him because he looked a little different now. Then I sat and cried. I apologized for being a bad friend and not visiting him again sooner while he was alive, apologized for not finishing what we had started together on my show and told him I loved him. Morbid as it may sound, I even took a picture of him in his beautiful new earthly resting space because I wanted to remember him in this peaceful state in which he now appeared, instead of the horrible painful way I imagined upon hearing the news of what happened. As soon as I took the picture I heard more footsteps about to come in the room so I quickly pulled myself together, said hello to the young lady and walked out. While I emotionally broke down in my car before pulling off, I was appreciative that somehow maybe he had from the other realm orchestrated allowing me that moment alone with him to say what I needed to say.
Spiritual Graduation Party…
That Friday night after the visitation I never made it to sleep. Again I was driven and wanted answers. But since there were no other News stories I could find with updates and information on an arrest or trial, I decided to focus on doing something I knew would bring myself, his family and other friends some happiness. The blooper reel. Sitting there editing it for hours until it was right, feeling as if Reese was right there with me, man we laughed and joked all night together. I'm talking deep hearty belly laughs, we just had a blast man!!!
Sleep deprived and hungry, I made it just in time to Reese's Spiritual Graduation Party as one of my mentors put it. The parking lot and street was so packed that folks had to park up to 8 houses away and walk back. It was standing room only on the inside so I planted my feet just on the inside of the door in the back of the room where up front he laid facing the sky, and all were greeted by the cries of his mourning mother Emma. You couldn't help but want to reach out and hold her and all of the family. As more people came inside the building, the hall outside was filled to the brim and even though a few extra chairs were brought out, it still was not enough to seat all of the beautiful people who came to witness this homegoing. Not to make a joke of things, but you would've thought it was "99 cent Tuesdays at Popeye's" the crowd was so large with a line out the door. You saw it Reese, you know I'm telling the truth!
In all seriousness, Tawab's Hebrew Israelite GOCC brothers took to the front beautifully dressed in all white, which reminded me of the unusual all white bicycle I saw the day before, and they led the service with prayer, memories of their brother and relevant biblical teachings for us all. The floor was then opened for those who wanted to share their own story or memory of Reese. One lady in the back kept looking in my direction for some reason. So right before they closed out that segment, I went up to the front and shared my own testimony on how Reese touched my life and was like sun rays through the darkness during a very rough time… He was a Beautiful man, a wonderful Friend, exciting as a Business Partner and a Devoted Father. Make no mistake about it.
This is my tribute to Reese Tawab Rawchaa Kirkland Jr.
Thank you for choosing me to be your friend. It is an honor to testify to your true character.
Peace and Love. See you later brother.
(Thank Ya'll for Reading and Sharing.)
Oh by the way, Reese told me to "gift" YOU this message from Heaven, in his own voice:

The difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read.
–Oscar Wilde
In an interview with senatorial aspirant Danton Remoto (which is scheduled to come out soon on Eleksyon 2007 podcast interview on INQUIRER.net), the English professor admitted missing reading since the start of the campaign. How many candidates can really claim without hesitation that they miss reading books? (Perhaps that's a good question to ask the other candidates, don't you think?) Then I found this quote from Oscar Wilde. Less people, especially the younger ones, are reading. Some pin the blame on gaming. But this was said when television, movies, DVDs, cable emerged. Reading is solitary activity. It freezes time. Which means you need to set aside time to read. That's why I carry at least two pocketbooks when I'm commuting. If I get lucky and find myself comfortably seated, I read a chapter or two. Currently, I'm reading Graham Greene's The Quiet American and Jack Kerouac's On the Road.
If you're not familiar with the places visited by Kerouac, check this Google Earth placemarks. Nice!

Beauty Tips From Moose Jaw

CommentAdd a Comment
I have traveled across Canada, but have never seen it in the same eyes that Will has.
Initially I found the writing, long winded, but traditionally Canadian, but in the end found it quite enjoyable and enlightening for any Canadian to read and re-discover the passion of being a Canadian.
I certainly have adopted part of his theory about how Canada is not a county of cities rather a country of deposits of people. I liked the imagery.
Humourist Ferguson takes readers on a series of journeys all over Canada, among them Victoria BC, Moose Jaw SK, Churchill MB, Thunder Bay ON, the Saguenay QC, Madawaska NB, and St. John''s NF. In search of the way to complete the statement Canada is..., Ferguson covers both historical and physical ground, presenting snapshots of our country''s many different cultures and some interesting autobiographical tidbits. Forget about finding the soul of Canada in the big cities: this book looks for -- and finds -- more in smaller, out-of-the-way areas. Laugh-out-loud funny at times, informative without being teachy, an altogether enjoyable read. Winner of the 2005 Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour, Ferguson''s second.

2 in 3 Canadians worry they sit too much at work
Are you concerned you're spending too much time in a chair during business hours? Well, you're not alone.
For ParticipACTION's fifth annual Sneak It In Week, we worked with Angus Reid to survey Canadian office workers about their physical activity habits at work, and the results are concerning. The majority of Canadian office workers (63 per cent) are worried about the amount of time spent sitting at work. And a third (32 per cent) of respondents say they spend too much time sitting in meetings, with one in five committing at least an entire business day (8 hours) a week to meetings.
This "meeting culture" is partly to blame for keeping us glued to our seats.
Canadians are encouraged to challenge the social norms at work, including marathon meetings, by taking active breaks, "sneaking in" 10-minute increments of physical activity, and dedicating less time to sitting.
Reducing the almost 10 hours a day that Canadian adults spend sedentary will reduce the risk of diabetes, heart attack, high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol, not to mention sore backs and foggy brains.
According to our survey, Canadians are ready to make these changes! If given the opportunity, 59 per cent of office workers said they would stretch during a meeting, 54 per cent said they would be open to a walking meeting, and 41 per cent would want to stand during a meeting if invited to do so.
Research shows that 10-minute bouts of physical activity are an effective way to increase fitness and meet the recommended 150 minutes of heart-pumping physical activity recommended for adults per week. Workplace physical activity initiatives have also been proven to increase productivity and job performance, boost creativity, reduce turnover and improve employee satisfaction and loyalty. Plus, nearly a third of those polled say they think better on their feet.
Scheduling a meeting? Here are five tips to change your company culture, one meeting at a time:
- Begin the meeting by inviting the room to stand-up and/or stretch throughout the meeting—this will set the tone and ensure people feel comfortable when they feel the need
- Encourage attendees to use existing meeting breaks for physical activity. For instance, invite them to leave the room to go for a walk or take the stairs during a coffee break
- Sit on exercise balls or stand during the meeting, rather than sitting on chairs
- Schedule stretching breaks during the meeting and invite someone to lead the stretch
- If you're scheduling a meeting with a small group, arrange for a walking meeting so that you can sneak in some exercise while you talk

Dublin clubs Foxrock Cabinteely, St Maurs and Cuala are in action this Saturday as the Leinster championship semi-finals take centre stage with all three clubs aiming to reach their respective provincial finals.
Both the senior and junior semi-finals which feature Foxrock Cabinteely and Cuala are part of a double bill being hosted at the nearby Bray Emmets GAA club.
Part one of the double bill gets underway at 1pm with the meeting of Cuala and Carbury (Kildare) in the junior semi-final. Cuala have already chalked up two impressive victories on route to Saturday's meeting with the Kildare champions.
In the Leinster championship preliminary round Cuala overcame the challenge of Wexford champions Taghmon Camross on a score line of 5-16 (31) to 5-03 (18) this was followed up with an emphatic 7-21 (42) to 1-04 (7) win over Louth Champions, Kilkerly / Dowdallstill in the quarter final.
Key players on Saturday for the Dalkey based side will be Martha Byrne, Hannah O'Dea, Eimear Loughlin, Billie Kate Huggard and hopefully a fully fit Jennifer Dunne.
While Cuala are aiming to reach their first provincial decider their neighbours Foxrock Cabinteely are seeking to book their place in their third consecutive Leinster final having won the title in 20015 and 2016. Their opponents on Saturday are Meath champions, Oldcastle.
Foxrock Cabinteely have shown good form throughout the Dublin championship reaching the final unbeaten having recorded victories over St Brigids, Ballyboden St Endas, Thomas Davis and Kilmacud Crokes. In the final itself the reigning championship completed the three in a row when they shook of the formidable challenge of Ballyboden St Endas to see out the game with five points to spare over their opponents at the final whistle.
A week later the newly crowned Dublin senior champions travelled to Mountmellick in Laois and chalked up a 2-10 (16) to 0-11 (11) victory over a seasoned Sarsfields side.
Foxrock Cabinteely have a nice blend of youth and experience throughout their panel this season but Sinead Goldrick, Niamh Collins, Fiona Claffey and Amy Ring are still key players for Pat Ring's side.
The senior semi-final gets underway at 3pm in Bray.
Meanwhile across the County, St Maurs will be welcoming Longford champions Clonguish to the Fingal parish of Rush for their Intermediate club semi-final.
St Maurs had a tough quarter final tussle with Offaly champions Naomh Ciaran in the quarter final with the Dublin champions finishing strongly at the end to registrar a 4-10 (22) to 2-11 (17) win.
St Maur's gained a huge amount of experience from last year's All Ireland junior championship winning campaign but they are mindful that they are operating at a higher level this season. Clonguish are a seasoned side and will provide a stern test for the Rush club.
Mark Kelly's side will once again look to sisters Shauna and Eadaoin McGuinness for inspiration along with Olivia Leonard, Laura and Niamh Carthy. The action gets underway in Rush at 2pm.

International Charter School (ICS), which serves kindergarten through fifth grade, is an innovative school which appreciates "outside the box" thinking. An initiative aptly named "Try It Tuesday's" began when Aramark and ICS collaborated to expand the flavor palates of the children who attend this charter school. Open to all suggestions, Aramark created a varied menu of distinctive, nutritious, and flavor-filled entrees to challenge and entice the appetites of children of all ages. Entrees like Korean Beef Fajitas, Chicken Jambalaya, and Mexican Lasagna send exotic culturally diverse aromas swarming throughout the school hallways. Each child receives a colorful "Try It" sticker, displaying their willingness to experience a culinary world with which they may not be accustomed to. "Try It Tuesday's" has shown itself to be a successful program; with the creative assistance and experience of the Aramark culinary team, we look forward to continuing to provide unique menu selections for the children of ICS.

Recently the Chariho Regional School District was awarded a grant from the New England Dairy & Food Council in order to help boost the sales of milk and dairy items.
At the request of Laurie Weber, principal of Chariho High School, the funds were used to purchase a breakfast cart to be placed in the hallway so that students had access to a breakfast meal on their way to class.
Ms. Weber was an instrumental part of raising awareness that a good breakfast fuels the learning process.
Jeff Powell, FSD at Chariho, reports that breakfast sales have increased three fold and that they are now selling over 100 smoothies per day. "The breakfast cart has been a real enhancement to our program here at Chariho. So much so that we are looking into putting one in the middle school as well."
Due to the efforts of School Nurse Teacher Rita Kinniburgh, students at Northern Elementary School in Lincoln are working plots in the school garden for the 9th year in a row. Established in 2006 by Rita and her students, the garden enjoys support from the school's PTA as well as community businesses like Conklin Sand and Limestone and Anderson Farms.
Principal Michele Sharpe proudly shows off Northern Elementary's "Helping Hands Garden". There are nine different beds, which are currently planted with lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and flowers. The entire school benefits from having an active and thriving garden space. Two different groups in "The Garden Club" meet weekly after school to plant and tend the garden. In between, students from various classrooms visit the garden to explore educational opportunities. Students in the music, speech and art class get to enjoy the garden from the windows that look out upon it. Teachers and administrators sit at the picnic tables to eat their lunch or to take fresh air breaks during the school day.
A new greenhouse shelf was recently used to germinate flowers that students gave their mom's for Mother's Day. The next event planned is an annual salad celebration. At the end of each school year, students harvest the lettuce they have grown to prepare a big salad. Combined with additional donations from Aramark and parents, the salad is dressed and served to the entire student body.
Once school let's out for the summer, student and teacher volunteers tend the garden so that it is in good shape when everyone returns in the autumn.
Northern Elementary School has developed a model "Edible Education" program that is truly valued, as proven by the activity and support of the entire school community
March 19, 2014 was ARAMARK's first annual global volunteer day, featuring a theme of "Inspiring kids to be healthy for life." ARAMARK employees nation-wide joined in to volunteer their time and resources to a variety of projects dedicated to this theme. In Rhode Island, ARAMARK accounts across the state held a food drive for employees in an effort to keep our kids healthy and help stop the growing food insecurity problem in the state. A team of 7 ARAMARK manager's dropped off donations from around the state to the RI Food Bank on 3/19 with donations totaling over 700 pieces! The team then stayed for the afternoon and volunteered sorting and packaging donations to be distributed around the state.
ARAMARK helped Warwick students get into the spirit of the day by featuring heart-themed lunches at levels across the district on Friday 2/14/14. Elementary school students celebrated with a lunch highlighting whole grain heart-shaped soft pretzels with yogurt while junior high and high school students were treated to heart-shaped corn dogs. Pink applesauce and strawberry milk were also available with every meal!
On Monday January 6th The Learning Community Charter School became the third school in Central Falls to serve After School Meals; this is the first school to provide the service Monday through Friday. Aramark has partnered with the RI Community Food Bank to provide these nutritious after school meals to the students in the community. The healthy options consist of BBQ Chicken Sandwich, White Meat Chicken Tenders, deli sandwiches and many other nutritious options throughout the month.
The program is designed to ensure that any student involved in an after school activity has the ability to eat a healthy meal before they go home for the night. During the first week of service we served over 100 children each day. We hope that the program will expand in the future to all schools in Central Falls in order to reach more students that are in need of nutritious meals.
ARAMARK's successful partnership with Lincoln Public Schools can be attributed in part to their shared vision of offering healthy, appetizing meal choices and valuable nutrition education programs. ARAMARK services 8 buildings in Lincoln, including Lincoln High, Lincoln Middle, 4 elementary schools plus Spurwink School and St. James in the Northern RI Collaborative.
Throughout the school year ARAMARK School Nutrition Services works with nurse educators and administrators to develop and implement a variety of nutrition education activities. One of the more popular is an event called "Table Hosting". Parents and community members are invited to their student's school to enjoy school lunch and engage students in nutrition education activities. Students are encouraged to try fruits and vegetables from the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Bar.
Adults discuss the benefits of eating a healthy balanced meal and also try to learn more about which items students like or dislike. This information is shared with the Food Service Director to provide guidance on what items to include with future meals
Chef Manager – Kaitlin Naylor
William M. Davies High School
Born and raised in North Scituate Rhode Island, Kaitlin graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Food Service Management from Johnson & Wales University. Kaitlin joined the Aramark team in January 2013 with a strong background in restaurant and banquet food service.
Kaitlin's first responsibility was to revamp and upgrade the food and service at the International Charter School in Pawtucket. Working closely with the school administration, Kaitlin re-organized the kitchen staff and the service to provide healthy, from "scratch" meals for the students. In March Kaitlin was promoted to Chef Manager at the Scituate Public Schools. Here she reduced costs by implementing Aramark's Food Management initiative and increased sales by implementing innovative a la carte items.
In late Spring Kaitlin represented Aramark, around the state, at school Health Fairs teaching students the importance of healthy living.
In July Kaitlin was again promoted to a larger account at William M. Davies High School. Kaitlin is working cooperatively with Faculty Chef Instructors to create menus that showcase Davies culinary students' skills as they help Aramark food service staff in the preparation and cooking of daily meals.
When asked about working with the Rhode Island Aramark Team during their statewide partnership with RIDE Kaitlin expressed "it is a gratifying experience and I like having the opportunity to affect children's lives in a positive and proactive way which makes what we do worthwhile."

Its just typical.
You spend hours trying to get to see some Dragonfly and then get near enough to capture a photo and then the first time the better half comes with you its as easy as this.
These were along the path to the Budge Hide, Creswell. Most I believe to be male and female Common darter.
These private viewings happened no less than five times.
At least I now know the secret.

Mrs Liverbirder has the same knack of showing me up too (although that's probably easier than it is for Mrs CityBirder)!
Did you remove the Reeth Pond photos from your blog?
I went last week and the HUGE fish are Chub (and there were four whoppers). Alas, no Kingfisher tho'.

Rather than offering the curious novice or the seasoned viewer yet another passive stroll around the perimeter of a room filled with preordained works by known and emerging artists, "Gallery Walk" asked the viewer to leave more than their name in the guest book. Entrants were directed to grab a pencil and draw a continuous line around the gallery. Each line, individual in height, weight and thickness will add to a collaborative piece of art to be signed by all that left their mark.

Veritas vos liberabit, "the truth shall set you free," is a motto that Johns Hopkins proudly embodies. Founded as America's first research university, JHU certainly lives up to this tenet with ten academic divisions making strides in their respective fields year after year—truly demonstrating the liberating power that's found in learning. But as a student at JHU, it's easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle and lose sight of the extraordinary talent and accomplishments that take place here every day. This past week, however, I was fortunate enough to meet the students of JHU's prestigious Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship program, also known as IGERT, and found yet another remarkable piece of Hopkins.
IGERT is a fellowship sponsored by the National Science Foundation that trains PhD candidates through interdisciplinary programs. At Johns Hopkins, the IGERT fellowship concentrates in Water, Climate, and Health (WCH) and provides its students with a $30,000 stipend that fully covers tuition, fees, and two years of health insurance. Its students hail from various backgrounds, ranging from earth and planetary sciences to international health, and are just as modest as they are brilliant.
This summer, the IGERT fellows split into two groups and ventured off to Ethiopia and Peru for a two and three week onsite study, respectively, of climate change and water research. With the research site located in the mountains, Ethiopia was specially selected for both its cool climate and its vulnerability to climate change, which is a concern for the large local agrarian society. There, the IGERT students collaborated with students from the Addis Ababa and Debre Markos Universities in studying, identifying, and classifying soil samples. Weather stations, remote sensors, and satellites were also used to measure and study the climate. Through their studies, the NSF-IGERT fellows were able to identify evidence of erosion, which is an issue that may need to be addressed in the future.
"...it was clear that the JHU NSF-IGERT students each had something in common: their passion and excitement for learning."
Meanwhile in Iquitos, Peru, the NSF-IGERT fellows focused more on evaluating water quality and studying coliforms from dry compost latrines. Due to its turbid water and lack of sufficient water treatment, Peru maintains high levels of diarrhea and malnutrition. But by collaborating with local students, the fellows were able to study this issue and were eventually able to demonstrate to local officials how to properly test the water for contamination. The IGERT students also made an interesting discovery that the longer dry compost latrines were exposed to open air, the higher the chances of reducing their overall level of contamination.
Despite traveling to two separate parts of the world, it was clear that the JHU NSF-IGERT students each had something in common: their passion and excitement for learning. As a student, I found their dedication to learning to be contagious; and after attending the IGERT colloquium, I felt a renewed sense of motivation. There really is no more refreshing feeling than the freedom found in learning: a gift that Hopkins has granted its students for generations.
