Henry III and the Communication of Power
Simon de Montfort and King Henry III: The First Revolution in English History, 1258–1265
The reign of Henry III (1216–1272) was pivotal in English political history. It saw the entrenchment of Magna Carta, the growth of parliament and the widening of political society, as well as England's first revolution (1258–1265), led by Simon de Montfort, earl of Leicester.

Ian Stone discussed his dissertation about thirteenth century London through the eyes of wealthy Alderman, Arnold Fitz Thedmar.
The Great Parliament of 1265: Medieval origins of modern democracy
On the eve of the 800th anniversary of the sealing of Magna Carta – the charter recognised as laying the foundations of England's modern democracy – new research by a medieval historian from the University of Lincoln, reminds us that 2015 also marks 750 years since the earliest forerunner of a modern parliament was held.
Like Father Like Son? Henry III's Tomb at Westminster Abbey as a Case Study in Late Thirteenth-Century English Kingship
Who was this king, and who made this grand monument to him? An inscription around the edge of the upper tomb chest identifies its occupant as Henry III, the English king who died in 1272 after a reign of fifty-six years.
What to See in Westminster Abbey
A review and tour of Westminster Abbey
A Captive King: Henry III between the battles of Lewes and Evesham, 1264-5
For a period of fifteen months, between the crushing defeat of the royal army at Lewes on 14 May 1264, and Montfort's brutal murder at Evesham on 4 August 1265, Henry III lost control of his seal, his household and his kingdom as he was forced to accept the appointment of new officials at the centre and periphery of government.

Matthew Paris and Henry III's elephant
Matthew Paris's drawings of Henry III's elephant are well-known, and popular accounts of the Tower of London often mention the elephant's brief residence there.
English government bought "many millions" of crossbow bolts during the 13th century, historian finds
A new study about the medieval military industry shows that the English Royal government was making and purchasing as much as hundreds of thousands of crossbow bolts each year, revealing how important this weapon was to the medieval armies of England.
Chaucer's Arthuriana
The majority of medieval scholars, including Roger Sherman Loomis, argue that the popularity of the Arthurian legend in England was therefore on the wane in the latter half of the fourteenth century; as a result, the major writers of the period, such as John Gower and Geoffrey Chaucer, refrained from penning anything beyond the occasional reference to King Arthur and his court.
Llywelyn ab Iorwerth : the making of a Welsh prince
Finally, this thesis seeks to address the limitations on Llywelyn's successes, in light of succeeding events and concludes with a discussion of Llywelyn's legendary status in the modern world.

Family Participation Program
Addiction is commonly referred to as a "family disease" and people usually do not know how to start repairing the damage done by addiction. With the help of professional therapists from various capacities, understanding, communication, and trust can begin again, and often even be re-established for everyone involved in building a healthy foundation for a healthier future for the patient and their family.
Family members will learn about their loved one's addiction and its effects, they will also receive an overview of the recovery and some treatment resources. The treatment plan will be custom designed and implemented upon admission. They will learn how they can help their loved ones, themselves, and the family as a whole. They will also learn about relapse warning signs and prevention. Recovery Ways works with the patient, the patient's family, and other support groups as a team to make sure when the patient completes treatment they are surrounded by supportive, strong, loving, and caring people. We want to give the patient every tool to maintain their new sober life.
What We Provide
There are four main parts to this part of treatment that is offered to clients and their families:
- At each level of care, clients are provided with the opportunity to engage in family therapy, in order to facilitate healthy family relationships while one works through their own recovery.
- Clients and their families also have an opportunity to watch educational videos that describe and educate loved ones with aspects of addiction and the effect on the brain.
- Families have access to an online forum for weekly engagement with live staff from the family department, where interactions, questions, comments, are all welcome.
- Clients and their families have an opportunity to attend the Family Workshop, which will be organized by the family therapist, family, and the client, during client's stay in treatment.
Take a virtual tour of our addiction treatment facilities.
Family Participation in the Future
Patients who are in PHP or IOP programs rely heavily on their families during their treatment program. After patients have finished their treatment here at Recovery Ways we encourage them to become a part of our alumni program to stay involved and learn of new sober activities and events. Many family members of patients come to these events and activities as well and we encourage you to do so. Family support is important for recovering addicts and know they have you to go to these new places and try new things with you will help them feel like they are not in this alone. The support for a recovering addict is very important and we encourage you to become a part of their life as well as invite them to be apart of yours.
Do you have a family member that needs treatment?
If you have a loved one or family member that is struggling with addiction and/or mental health issues, Recovery Ways can help. Our admission coordinators can recommend a plan of action, suggestion a preferred interventionist, or speak to your loved one if they're ready to commit to treatment. Our trained coordinators can even review your loved one's insurance benefits and find out if it will help cover the costs associated with treatment.
Get help for your loved one, so they begin a new life in recovery. Call 1-888-986-7848 today.
Visit our family page with resources, videos, and assignments. Please be aware that our family program staff plan to utilize this site with you, based on your participation.
Disclaimer: Please be aware that family program and participation is based on a client's willingness to allow family to be involved in the process. If the client does not allow this, the family program staff can still be available to share resources and speak to general information regarding aspects of addiction, treatment, and recovery.

OGE Energy Corporation is an electric and natural gas utility in the south central United States. The company's revenue is evenly divided between electricity and natural gas sales, but the company's electric utilities segment has always been more profitable. Growing popular support for renewable energy standards and emissions caps has led to legislation in many states, and if a national standard were adopted (likely, given the current Presidential candidates), OGE will have to break its dependence on coal and natural gas by spending large amounts of money on growing renewables' share of its portfolio; already, OGE expects its expenditures due to environmental compliance in 2008 to be equivalent to approximately 20% of their total CapEx. By 2009, the company expects this spending to nearly triple.
Furthermore, state regulation of electric utilities rates means that, while the company is guaranteed a profit, OG&E's margins are limited by the prices and returns allowed by the state. The company does not have a strong history of getting rate increases, meaning that when input costs rise, it's less likely that the company will be able to pass them on to customers. For example, in both 2005 and 2006, the rate increases granted to OG&E by state commissions were less than half the amount they requested. Both of these requested increases would have kept OG&E's rates below regional and national averages, but the commissions remained skeptical. OGE's best growth opportunities, therefore, are in its natural gas segments where, thanks to high petroleum prices, margins are large and demand is predicted to grow. As a utilities company, OGE has no competitors in its operating region thanks to government regulation and the high cost of infrastructure installation; in the natural gas processing industry, the company competes with Devon Energy, Spectra Energy, and Williams Companies.
OGE Corporation has four major business segments:
|Source: OGE 10-K[6]
|Total Revenue ($M)
|Operating Income ($M)
OGE's revenue has decreased by approximately 55% from 5.912 billion in 2005 to $3.798 billion in 2007. This is due almost entirely to the company's declining usage of its natural gas marketing segment, which generated $3.995 billion of revenue in 2005 and only $1.538 billion in 2007.[8]
Due to the low profits provided by the marketing segment, the company's net operating income has increased over this same time period, growing from $322 million in 2005 to $455 million in 2007.[9] The increase in operating income has been aided by regulated rate increases in electric utilities, as well as Enogex's new focus on natural gas gathering and processing services in the midst of all-time high gas prices. By decreasing spending on its marketing segment (yielding a 1.5% margin in 2007) and dedicating its budget to gathering and processing (yielding a 24.5% margin in 2007), OGE has been able to increase its operating revenue while decreasing its spending. [10]
46% of OGE Corporation's revenue currently is generated by the sale of electricity to retail customers through OG&E. The rates that OGE charges their customers must be approved by state utility commissions, but these commissions have been historically skeptical of OG&E's requests to grant their desired rate increases, even when they would have kept OG&E's rates below the regional and national averages. In 2005, when the company proposed an annual rate increase that would have increased the company's revenues by just under $90 million, Oklahoma's OCC granted them less than half that. A 2006 request for an increase in Arkansas was met with similar results. Unfavorable regulatory decisions hurt OG&E's profitability by lowering margins in the face of rising input prices (for coal, natural gas, and even renewable energy).[11]
As an energy producer, the activities of OG&E are subject to both state and U.S. environmental legislation. This regulation includes such policies as emissions caps, waste disposal (and cleanup) restrictions, and regulation of construction to avoid harming endangered species. While Oklahoma and Arkansas have not mandated programs to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, they have expressed support for legislative action on climate change issues. Many states in the U.S. and many nations world wide are gradually increasing their emissions and renewable energy regulations over the long run. There is no way to predict how much spending must be done over the long-term for compliance with waste disposal procedures from coal or gas, or for remedial purposes if there were to be an accidental release of a harmful substance. Currently, OGE has budgeted $37.9 million of its capital expenditures to be spent in 2008 on complying with environmental regulation, - 20% of its 2007 CapEx. For 2009, it has budgeted $121.4 million - a threefold increase suggesting drastic growth in compliance spending in future years.[12]
In Enogex's "natural gas processing" segment, revenues generated by the sale of natural gas under "keep-whole" or "percent-of-proceeds" agreements are incurred at market prices. "Keep-whole" agreements present large margins for OGE when NGL prices exceed those of processed natural gas, and "percent-of-proceeds" agreements provide upside when prices are high for either NGLs or processed gas. Prices of this commodity, like oil, have historically been volatile and uncertain, and this portion of OGE's revenue is sensitive to these fluctuations.[13] Over the past several weeks, oil prices have stayed over $100 per barrel, flirting with all time highs. Natural gas prices have experienced similar trends, due in large part to continually growing world demand and potential inflationary concerns in the United States. In general, this current trend provides strong returns for the company, as it is able to sell its NGLs and processed gas at record high market prices.
In the electric utility industry, federal and state legislation as well as the high cost of infrastructure for electric utilities present a large barrier to entry, giving OGE a strong competitive position. Another similar but smaller electric utility company is Oklahoma's second largest electric provider, the Public Service Company of Oklahoma, which primarily serves the Tulsa region.
Enogex's natural gas transportation and storage segment faces competition from a number of inter and intra-state pipelines, including Panhandle Eastern Pipeline, El Paso Natural Gas Pipeline, Williams Companies (WMB), Spectra Energy (SE), and Oneok Gas Transmission. Williams, Spectra, and Oneok all surpass Enogex's 1.52 trillion British thermal unit per day (Btu/d) pipeline throughput, with 2.700 trillion,[14], 3.642 trillion,[15] and 3.579 trillion[16], respectively.
OGE's biggest competitive threats come in the natural gas processing market, where the company looks to have its greatest future growth. Competitors include Devon Energy (DVN) and Spectra Energy (SE). Devon Energy processes 894 million Btu/d of natural gas,[17] to OGE's 570 million.

He goes by rattus norvegicus, but don't be fooled by the name - this rodent eats grease, not veggies. Last seen lurking in alleyways behind New York City diners, rattus is up to no good. He's frightening residents, chasing tourists away and multiplying faster than Mayor Rudy Giuliani can say, "kick him out of Times Square."
Also known as the Norwegian rat, rattus is threatening to take over the city. But New York is fighting back, forming a city council committee focused specifically on the vermin, and setting up two rat hotlines to take complaints from disgusted citizens.
Additionally, in November, officials held a Rat Summit at Columbia University to determine possible solutions to the growing rat population. The mayor, city council members, a "rat consultant" and 250 citizens discussed proposals such as banning the city's wire-mesh trash cans to keep rats from helping themselves to a streetside buffet. Deputy Mayor Joseph Lhota called for citizens to be more sanitary.
Although Giuliani has bragged about the city's rat-killing record, rat consultant Bruce Colvin said killing rats won't work. The city must eliminate the rats' food sources - particularly grease from restaurants, which increases the rodents' sex drive, he said.

Getting E-ven When residents of one Dallas neighborhood get mad, officials listen, thanks to web designer Avi Adelman.
To stem the perceived abuses of a nearby entertainment strip containing 50 restaurants and clubs, Adelman created Barkingdogs.org, a cyber town hall where Lower Greenville residents can report city-code violations perpetrated by the businesses.
Adelman launched the site with a vote for the ugliest dumpster in Lower Greenville, and the site now routes reported infractions directly to city officials. Alleged violations, such as, "constant standing water and trash in rain gutter smells terrible," are posted for all to see, along with the names and addresses of alleged violators.
The site even features surreptitious photos taken by neighborhood activists.
One Dallas official under attack by Barkingdog recently said the site contains "many, many untruths."
Barkingdog responded, "This is our neighborhood, and we are taking it back - one street and one block at a time. Either do your job or get out of the way."
Apparently, some city officials have chosen the former. Many complaints posted on the site are followed by entries explaining what the city has done to fix the problems.

SouthEast LLC provides comprehensive evaluations using the latest industry tools and resources, to assess the special needs, skills and abilities, and set specific goals to:
- Enhance their chances of post-high school success,
- Improve skill development for post-school training and education,
- Increase their opportunities to enter the world of work, and
- Lead productive, integrated and independent lives within their communities.
Our Evaluations assist special educators, students, and their families to form a realistic awareness of career options, and helps the individual improve their self-awareness and motivation for Success.
The Plan has realistic short- and long-term goals for adult living that are individualized for each individual, and that include his or her particular capabilities and interests.
What is Vocational Assessment?
Vocational assessment can be defined as a general term for the process of identifying and appraising an individual's level of functioning in relation to vocational preparation and employment decision making. The purpose of vocational assessment in rehabilitation is to:
- plan a course of action
- enhance client self-knowledge and vocational decision-making abilities
- predict realistic employment outcomes that result in successful client vocational rehabilitation
The vocational assessment process has three levels:
- Level 1 – Screening/Needs Assessment
- Level 2 – Clinical or Exploratory
- Level 3 – Comprehensive Vocational Evaluation
Level 1 – Screening/Needs Assessment
A needs assessment is a systematic exploration of the way things are and the way they should be. These "things" are usually associated with determining what is necessary to develop a plan of action (e.g. vocational plan).
Level 1 includes:
- Interview with client
- Collection of routine background information (demographics)
- Reliance on subjective client statements
- Vocational choice/interest
- Self-estimates of competence
- Reported work history
- Functional Assessment (i.e. Personal Capacities Questionnaire)
- NO standardized testing (other th
- an. interest)
Level 2 – Clinical or Exploratory
This level is an in depth exploration or case study approach to the client and vocationally related circumstances. It builds on level 1 information through use of:
- Additional interviews
- Collect/analyze documentation (e.g. school records, medical records)
- Career exploration
- Vocational and/or adjustment counseling
- Psychometric/standardized testing
- Transferable skills analysis
- Computerized job matching
- Job analysis and/or environmental assessment
- Assistive technology considerations
Level 3: Vocational Evaluation
Real or simulated work is used as the focal point of the evaluation. It is a systematic observation and recording of work behaviour & performance that occurs over time and uses multiple methods and techniques to validate findings. Some combinations of the following methods are used:
- Work samples; job samples (i.e. Valpar)
- Situational assessments; community based assessment
- Standardized Testing
- Interview
- Transferable skills; job matching
- Analysis of background information
- Career Exploration/job shadow
- Assistive Technology considerations
- Prescriptive recommendations
- Choosing the 'Right' Level of Vocational Assessment for Your Needs
Three primary characteristics drive which level of vocational assessment is most appropriate:
- Purpose of referral
- Specific referral questions
- Severity of disability and/or other barriers to employment
Potential Referral Questions for Vocational Evaluation
Referral questions are critical. They provide focus and structure to the vocational assessment or vocational evaluation process. They give the evaluator something to measure against (e.g. specific job or educational programs).
- Does this person possess the necessary skills and work-related behaviours to pursue education and employment in the occupational area of __________?
- Is this person able to articulate a realistic vocational goal?
- What type of employment is most suitable for this individual's skill and ability level?
- Does this job require additional training? If so, what type of training?
- Is training or an education program a reasonable goal for this individual? If so, please indicate the type, intensity and length of program that appears realistic.
- Want more? Give us a call for a consultation.
A detailed statement of fees will be provided for clients' submission to insurance companies for self-filing claims. Please note that most insurance companies do not cover psycho-educational testing for developmental delays or learning issues, as they deem these services 'educational' rather than 'medical', even if the provider is 'in-network'.
Schools will pay for Transitional Evaluations however, many parents often have to hire an attorney or school advocate in order for this to occur.
We provide services for school aged children as well as college students with learning disabilities, attention problems, and behavioral concerns.
We provide the following psych0-educational evaluation services:
Comprehensive psycho-educational evaluations that define children's learning profile, academic strengths and weaknesses, and recommendations for effective remediation and accommodations. The evaluations assess the following areas:
Complete psycho-educational transitional evaluation – $1950
- comprehensive intelligence testing/Cognitive Processes (e.g., processing speed, flexibility)behavior/emotional/social assessment
- comprehensive testing of all neuropsychological processing areas appropriate, such as processing speed, visual-motor skills, visual-perceptual skills, auditory processing skills, phonological processing skills, attention/concentration skills
- Interest Testing
- Manual Dexterity
- Vocational and Work Samples
- comprehensive transitional evaluation report
Emotional/Behavioral Assessment
- Call and speak to us regarding your concerns in order to obtain an estimated cost of assessment. These are typically completed on an hourly fee basis.
Academic Assessment only
- Achievement testing in all academic areas (basic reading, reading comprehension, math reasoning, math calculation, written expression) with a brief written report – $500

The Minnesota Vikings are everyone's favorite Week 1 NFL pick, and it's not even close. That's how miserable things have become for the once-great San Francisco 49ers.
NFL Picks on Totals for Vikings-49ers MNF
ATS NFL Picks for Vikings-49ers MNF
You know what would be hilarious? If the San Francisco 49ers actually won Super Bowl 50 this year. Not only would they pay out as high as +10000 on the futures market, the Niners would also make people like me eat our words about how awful this team has become. It could happen.
Meanwhile, the 49ers have fallen so far in the eyes of bettors, they might already be a solid "buy low" football pick for their Monday Night Football matchup (10:15 p.m. ET, ESPN) with the Minnesota Vikings. Back in the spring, San Francisco opened as a 4-point home chalk, but as we go to press, the Vikings are 2.5-point faves on our football odds board, with two-thirds of bettors feeling Minnesota.
The gap between the two sides becomes a canyon when you look at our expanded consensus figures. The Vikings are absolutely crushing it in terms of raw dollars, hoovering up 95 percent of the action with an average bet size of $935. That's over 10 times the size of the average wager on San Francisco ($88). It's difficult to interpret this as anything other than smart money.
Have the NFL odds moved too far, though? That's also difficult to interpret. Aside from the preseason, which admittedly didn't look very good for the Niners (2-2 SU, 1-3 ATS), we don't have much data to work with as the Jim Tomsula-Colin Kaepernick Era attempts lift-off. We do know that Tomsula's predecessor, Jim Harbaugh, was one of the top moneymakers in NFL coaching history at 40-29-1 ATS during his four years at the helm, regular season and playoffs combined. That's a tough act to follow.
AP Style
We also know that the Niners have lost a ton of player talent along with their coach. Some left as free agents (RB Frank Gore, WR Michael Crabtree). Some were released (LB Aldon Smith, WR Stevie Johnson). And some opted for early retirement (LB Patrick Willis, LB Chris Borland). What's left is a dog soup of retreads and rookies, with Kaepernick trying to regain the form that made him such a hot commodity in 2012.
On the other side, the Vikings appear to be on the rise in Year Two of the Mike Zimmer-Teddy Bridgewater Era. But there are plenty of unknowns here, too. Does RB Adrian Peterson still have what it takes at age 30? Can Bridgewater avoid the dreaded sophomore slump? And more specifically for Week 1, will center John Sullivan be able to play after missing Tuesday's practice with back spasms? With gigantic RT Phil Loadholt already lost for the season to a torn Achilles' tendon, this Viking ship might not even make it out of drydock. We'll take another look at that offensive line later this week with our NFL picks against the spread and total.

Looks like the macroscopically taken eye of an insect, but is the Streuscheibe of a Wild Vision 5.0 Full HD WildGuarder Camera. One can easily recognize the many small, magnifying-lens fields that bundle the infrared radiation and relay it to the infrared sensor.
In "skipping" a heat source from one lens segment to the next, the detection of the radiation by the sensor is briefly interrupted. This interprets the sensor as a movement and generates an electrical switching impulse.
Time Lapse: Camera takes photo or video at a preset time interval regardless of movement. Programmable Time-Lapse modes assist in monitoring large geographical areas beyond the normal sensing range. Time-Lapse mode runs in both day and night and is completely programmable. Cameras also capture motion instantly while in time-lapse mode.

The camouflage pattern of a WildGuarder camera can still be so good - if the device would give a bright flash of night shots, it would be badly disguised. For this reason, we use the Black-LEDs. These are flashing in the light spectrum of 940 nanometers. In practice this means that these LEDs illuminate the scenery perfectly for the photo without being perceived by humans and animals. This keeps your WildGuarder undetected.
The infrared sensor of WildGuarder® WG4000-4G works with heat and motion detection. That is, he recognizes living things by means of the body's warmth and the movements they carry out. Thus the WildGuarder® WG4000-4G neither escapes nor animal.
The WildGuarder® WG4000-4G has a fast release time of approx. 0.8 seconds to scan all creatures - no matter how fast they are. Moreover, it is weatherproof and, thanks to the protection class IP 66, it also raises hard weather such as rain. The WildGuarder® WG4000-4G is optimally protected and ready for use everywhere.
The WildGuarder® WG4000-4G takes pictures and videos in different resolutions, which you can adjust yourself. Choose between 5, 8 and 12 megapixels for photos. You can record videos in VGA quality, HD (720p) or Full HD (1080p). Our new DarkMotion Freeze technology, together with the black LEDs and the infrared sensor, ensure excellent day and night shooting. Submitted photos from customers prove the excellent recording quality of the WildGuarder® WG4000.
The number of burglaries has risen enormously in recent years, according to the police and media reports. The WildGuarder® WG4000-4G is indispensable to make possible criminals. With WildGuarder® technology, the fast-firing security camera does not miss anything - even at night. The sharp images and videos in HD quality help the police and authorities to grasp the intruders. Protect your belongings against burglars with the WildGuarder®!
In your garden, there are more lives than you can imagine. At night, when you are lying in bed or during the day while you are not at home, things happen that you do not notice at all. The WildGuarder® WG4000-4G does not miss the smallest movement in your garden or on your property.
Who sneaks around on your land? To find out,WildGuarder® WG4000-4G is the best solution. While you sleep peacefully or do errands, WildGuarder® WG4000-4G draws on you - whether it be animal visitors, curious neighbors or eerie figures. The vigilance of WildGuarder® WG4000-4G can not escape anything

i told my friends and everybody about PE. They laughed until i started gaining, then some even joined in. I would simply jelq in the room while my roomate had class, and then shower at whatever point during the day when i would do my stretches.

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone. That really helped a lot, the dorming thing doesn't seem so bad now.
To clarify, a "piss pull" is just stretching after you piss, right?
- 05-31-2010 #13
+1 for shower workouts and shower shoes! That's what I did freshman year.
People do start to wonder why you're always in the shower though.

The piss pull is just a simple less than 10 second stretch after you piss. If you decide to do that then once you get some more PE conditioning under your belt, then I'd suggest throwing in a mix of different things a bundled stretch, a-stretch, fulcrum stretch, etc, there's a LOT of different ones you can do for 10-30 seconds after taking a leak.

Thank you, millia. Very helpful.
Our beds will most likely be bunked, so I should just hope I don't get a second roommate.
- 05-31-2010 #16
Yes hope for it, but other-wise the only advice I have in regards to college life is this: get work done first and party later, there is ALWAYS time for partying, ALWAYS. First year in colllege I spent it partying and the whole 9 yards and finished my year with a 1.76. After this year I've managed to pull it up to a 2.3, the reward for partying is that now I have to work EVEN HARDER than before to do well in school.It's not just Penile Enhancement, it's a way of life.

Yeah, I'll definitely remember that... especially since the school I'm going to has somewhat of a reputation for extensive partying. Fortunately I'm not a huge partyer right now, so I shouldn't have much trouble limiting myself once all the partying opportunities become abundant.
Then again, I've heard that people like me(the ones who didn't party much during high school) are the ones who are most prone to overdoing it in college. That would suck.

Just remember that while college is the next transition in your life, you're still going to have plenty of opportunity to party later. Work hard party harder. Nowadays I don't party as much because my girlfriend and money issues, as well as school (starting my third year in college in the fall), but when I have all of my shit done (homework, studying, preparation, etc.) I'll go out and let loose. I party hard and get wasted when I can.
My biggest issue was not being able to say no. "Wanna go smoke?" "I gotta paper due in the morning, SURE WHY NOT!"
I was stupid. More or less I've learned my lesson, but I'm still a huge procrastinatorIt's not just Penile Enhancement, it's a way of life.

Ugh, that's kind of an issue with me too... saying no. I tend to give in.
Thanks for all your input.

The Austin Transportation Department and Capital Metro partnered to host this open house-styled event attended by over 200 people. Participants learned about the approaches the two agencies are taking to improve
the region's transportation future and got the latest information about the
Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) and Project Connect.
July 26, 2017 – Huston-Tillotson University
– This event featured presentations by national high-capacity transit mode experts who highlighted successful projects in their cities. Regional transportation leaders also discussed transportation issues specific to
Central Texas. The event was attended by more than 130 people, with many participating in an insightful Q&A session. Did we mention there was ice cream?
March 4, 2017 - Bullock Texas State History Museum
– This public workshop, hosted with the city of Austin, gave Central Texas residents a chance to learn about the approach agencies are taking to solve the region's transportation dilemmas. More than 225 members of
the public came out to "talk transit" with us, participate in games and other activities, and give us their invaluable feedback.

This is one of the principal reasons you bought Premiere. It does transitions. With a simple drag and drop, voila, you've turned a cut edit into a wipe—or a 3D spinning cube or a curtain opening to a new scene or a page peeling back—you name it.
Cuts-only edits can be abrupt. Transitions ease the change from one scene to the next. The most common is the dissolve—one scene fades as the next comes into view.

MIAMI (AP) -- A new tropical depression has formed over the Atlantic behind Tropical Storm Ana and both are expected to slowly strengthen over the next couple of days.
The National Hurricane Center said Saturday that the third depression of the Atlantic season had maximum sustained winds of 35 mph and could soon become a tropical storm with winds of at least 39 mph.
Tropical Storm Ana, the first named storm of the Atlantic season, had winds of near 40 mph at 11 a.m. EDT. The Hurricane Center says residents in the Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico should monitor the Ana's progress.
Meanwhile, Hurricane Guillermo is still swirling in the open Pacific as a Category 3 storm with winds were near 115 mph. Guillermo is expected to weaken as it heads over cooler waters.

Rugged West Mountains, driving the Kahekili Hwy to Maui's other side – Kahakuloa.
Many people know of the lush green gulches and secluded scenic beauty which Maui's north east side offers along the Hana Highway. Well, there's more to Maui's seclusion and gorgeous landscape in the opposite direction.
From the Kahului & Wailuku area head north on Highway 340, known as Kahekili Hwy. As you drive past Waiehu the two-lane highway starts to narrow. The road starts to wind and curves through tropical desert-like terrain. There are breath-taking views of the blue Pacific Ocean as the road cuts through steep mountain cliffs. On oneside are tall rocky wall cut outs. The other side, only a few feet from the road are instant 100 foot drop offs.
Although still classified as a highway once you get to Mendes Ranch the striped road ends and turns into what seems to be a one lane paved trail. That's where the real fun, the real beauty starts. The windy road will take you along mountainous terrain and small stream valley's offering one in a million ocean views.
Continuing, is the village of Kahakuloa. Kahakuloa is a small isolated village tucked away in a valley. The village is home to about 100 people most of whom are direct descendants from the village's original inhabitants. Kahakuloa has been occupied by Hawaiian people since around 300 B.C. It was a city of refuge for the Maui kanaka maoli.
Hawaiian musicians, The Ho'opi'i Brothers are from Kahakuloa. A "must stop" is Julia's Best Banana Bread Bakery; mouth-watering!
Continuing northwest is the Olivine Pools where you could spend hours exploring the coastal tidepools. Just up the road is Nakalele Point and Blowhole. Geyser-like ocean fountains can reach over 100 feet high.

May Already?
I can't believe it's May already! You what that means? Only Eleven more months until I retire! What shall I do with all of my spare time? See me smile. :) You know what I will do!
Here is the Quilt I made for our Granddaughter Kiristie. She is Graduating with her Masters Degree. She said she likes Teal. I used the Sew Kind of Wonderful Ruler and one of her patterns to make this.
Here is a close up shot of my quilting. I think I need to take a class using the ruler. I thought it was hard to match the seams.
Here I'm working on my Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt . I'm Stitching in Every Single Ditch! And I realize that I am a very Creative Piecer!
Jeremy at Thimble Towne has asked me to teach a Christmas Stocking Quilting Class in July. I added the Bling on the cuff with Rhinestones. I have a couple more samples to make. One Green and one White. I hope I get some Students interested in the class.
I have been busy. Doing what I like to do. And making a list of things to keep me busy in 11 months.

The 11 months will pass quickly. I like it when it gets down to 10. Since you have 10 fingers you get to really count down.ReplyDelete
Get an app that allows you to enter the day and time of an event. Then you know how many hours as well.
Love your quilts. I have been at my new job 11 months already! The time flew by!ReplyDelete
11 months. Then 10, then 9, then...you're on a roll!! Love to see what you've been up to. Thanks for posting! :)ReplyDelete
Well, it's June already, and I am just getting back to blogging. This past school year was a whirlwind. Your granddaughter is going to love, love, love that quilt.ReplyDelete

Welcome to Rally for Kids with Cancer Foundation. Since the Foundation's launch in 2010, our goal is to raise much needed awareness and funds for the fight against children's cancer.
Rally for Kids with Cancer Foundation is a grant giving organization. We partner with several world renowned foundations and hospitals that specialize in research, treatment and care of pediatric oncology.
Since the execution of the first Rally for Kids with Cancer Scavenger Cup event was completed in 2008, our events have raised over $10 Million in funds for the charitable organizations we support. This is a testament to what can be done when philanthropic individuals come together with one united vision, the health, and well-being of our children.
How much do you know about children's cancer issues?
So often we hear about initiatives focused on breast, ovarian and prostate cancers – which are all vital. However, how many times do we hear about children's cancer and the issues they and their families must face? It is our goal to increase the level of awareness of children's cancer issues and the charities we support through unique, innovative, and fun events.
One day there will be a cure for cancer.
We truly believe in this statement, but the journey for a cure is not possible without the generous support of people who share our vision.
Studies show that:
- Today, up to 75% of children with cancer can be cured, yet, some forms of childhood cancers have proven so resistant a cure is illusive
- Childhood cancers are the #1 disease killer of children – more than asthma, cystic fibrosis, diabetes and pediatric AIDS combined
- Leukemia's, tumors of the brain and nervous system, the lymphatic system, kidneys, bones and muscles are the most common childhood cancers
- The cause of most childhood cancers are unknown and at present, cannot be prevented
Through the events and fundraising initiatives we execute we can support:
AWARENESS Raise vital awareness through our annual campaigns and funded programs. We want to significantly increase the understanding what kids go through and the issues their families must face
RESEARCH We will fund catalytic research and infrastructure that leads to what we hope will be a cure
TREATMENT that accelerates improved health outcomes for children. Fund survivorship initiatives that provide support for kids and their families affected by cancer. Treatments that not only treat the disease but focuses on quality of life after the treatments
CARE our goal is to ensure that each child with cancer will have equal access to the most current care and that the full range of needs of these children, their families and caregivers are met
We will drive significant outcomes for the fight against kid's cancer from the funds we raise.

In The Real Secret of Thoroughly Excellent Companies, Peter Bregman writes about the process of asking questions:
During his meeting with the front desk staff, [Michael Newcombe] learned they were slower than usual in checking in guests because rooms weren't available. Then, in his meeting with housekeeping staff, someone asked if the hotel was running low on king size sheets. Most CEOs wouldn't be interested in that question, but Michael asked why. Well, the maid answered, it's taking us longer to turn over rooms because we have to wait for the sheets. So he kept asking questions to different employee groups until he discovered that one of the dryers was broken and waiting for a custom part. That reduced the number of available sheets. Which slowed down housekeeping. Which reduced room availability. Which delayed guests from checking in.
He fixed the problem in 24 hours. A problem he never would have known about without open communication with all his employees.
The process of inquiry (vicara) driven by desire for truth and communal benefit is very powerful. We often become content with superficial explanations and avoid deeper reasoning. The example above demonstrates the effectiveness of such a process. It is comparable, if not identical to, the dialectical (Socratic) methods in philosophy.

Ulster Director of Rugby Les Kiss has announced his squad that will take on the Barbarians at Kingspan Stadium on Thursday 1st June.
Featured among the Ulster squad are Irish internationals Craig Gilroy, Stuart McCloskey and Andrew Trimble while the game will also give home fans the opportunity to see departing stars such as Ruan Pienaar and Roger Wilson don the Ulster jersey for a final time.
The June 1st fixture will be just the third occasion the world famous Barbarians have played in Belfast, following visits in 1957 when they defeated an Ulster Invitational XV 14-11, then in November 2016 where they saw off Fiji 40-7 in a seven-try thriller.
Commenting on the squad announcement, Kiss said:
"It's great to have the Barbarians back here in Belfast and it's a game that the guys are really enthused about. Obviously we will be without the services of the boys on duty with the Lions and Ireland, and we still have a few out injured, but we will be putting out a strong team with a mixture of youth and experience.
"Looking at the squad the Baabaas are putting together, we know this is going to be a really tough challenge so the boys have been training hard in preparation and are looking forward to testing themselves against this top class opposition.
"The Barbarians are known for playing a very entertaining brand of rugby, and that style of play suits our players too so I'm sure it'll be a great spectacle for the supporters."
Ulster squad to play the Barbarians, Thursday 1st June at Kingspan Stadium, kick-off 7.30pm:
Backs: Craig Gilroy, Brett Herron, Paul Marshall, Stuart McCloskey, Peter Nelson, Jack Owens, Callum Patterson, Ruan Pienaar, Dave Shanahan, Andrew Trimble.
Forwards: Rodney Ah You, John Andrew, Peter Browne, Rob Herring, Ross Kane, Ricky Lutton, Kyle McCall, Stephen Mulholland, Alan O'Connor, Tommy O'Hagan, Matthew Rea, Clive Ross, Andy Warwick, Roger Wilson.
Barbarians players confirmed so far:
Backs: Bundee Aki (Connacht), Adam Ashley-Cooper (Bordeaux Begles & Australia), Yann David (Toulouse and France), Will Genia (Stade Francais & Australia).
Forwards: Patricio Albacete (Toulouse & Argentina), Steffon Armitage (Pau & England), Thierry Dusautoir (Toulouse & France), Corey Flynn (Star RFC & New Zealand), Facundo Isa (Lyon & Argentina), Census Johnston (Toulouse & Samoa), Joe Tekori (Toulouse & Samoa), Jeremy Thrush (Gloucester & New Zealand).

Hot Shot's girl: Hee hee, I know I'm crazy 'cause I already got another GaaMatsu story, but this just popped up in my head when I was listening to a song by Tutu called 'Show me love'. As you can see it inspired the story and so now here it is. Hope you like it, I'm still thinking about it so if I don't update in a while it's because I'm still thinking about what to write . . . that or my mom's hogging the computer or it's just dead :) Well anyways enjoy.
Gaara was so young and . . . so alone. He was born to a greedy father who was his village's Kazekage and a mother full of hatred who had died during his birth. His older siblings were young at the time and so did only as their father said. He didn't want them near him as much for he was nothing more than an experiment.
He held the one-tailed demon shukaku. No one wanted to be near that. One reason being is that of his sand jutsu that came with the demon. Being so young meant less control.
He never really knew how to use it, but when he did . . . he never meant it. He never understood why everyone was so afraid of him. He tried asking his father, but he never spoke to him. The only one who would actually speak with him was his uncle Yashamaru, but even he seemed a little distant from Gaara.
He wondered how his whole village could treat such a little child like this. He wondered why everyone seemed to dispise him like his father. He wondered why everyone ran from him just at his sight . . . even those his age hated him.
All he wanted in the world was a friend, but never had one. His siblings weren't aloud near him and feared him to some extent. His father gave him the look that he didn't even want him as his child. His uncle seemed to be hiding some kind of dark secret that just distanced himself from him and the children his age always ran from him because of what their parents said about him . . . whatever that was.
Sure he got whatever he wanted, but the one thing he asked for most and never got . . . was a friend. He would often look up at the stars and pray for one to fall out of the heavens, but none ever did. He never imagined home could feel so much not like one.
If he could ever get a chance at friendship he promised to never throw it away. He swore with all his little beating heart he'd cherish them forever and ever, even if it was just one . . . if it was just one he'd be satisfied. His prayers seemed unanswered until he saw a chance.
A stray ball had rolled towards him. A ball that a few kids were playing with. He picked it up knowing they'd have to come his way to get it. He put on the biggest smile as they came looking for it, but horror was only worn on their faces once they saw him.
"Run!" they screamed as they turned and ran for it.
"No please, come back," he pleaded as he stretched out his arm and his sand jutsu was activated.
He grabbed hold of a few little legs and little did he know he was hurting them. Soon Yashamaru intervened and saved them from the demon. He had accidentally hurt him because of it and for that he was sorry. Later Yashamaru spoke to him about love and caring for precious people.
Just thinking about a precious person make Gaara smile. Soon he hoped he'd have one. He prayed with all his heart he or she would come soon.
But as the days turned into weeks things seemed hopeless and he was feeling yet alone. It seemed the only thing that welcomed him was the night for it concealed him from all eyes and no one could tell he was the monster.
Why has the night become my friend like this? He asked himself as he sat there in silence just swaying back and forth on the swing. Why am I such a monster?
Gaara was so much in his thoughts he hadn't noticed the sound of little feet closing in on him and a pair of big onyx eyes starring at him for a second. What woke him out of his thoughts was the sound of the poles creaking slightly because someone had sat on a second swing. He turned to his right and saw a small brunette girl sitting on the swing just a couple feet from him . . . not child had EVER been this close to him before . . . at least without shaking.
The girl just sat there though with a smile on her face and sparkling onyx eyes. She seemed to be so unafraid of him. Perhaps she just didn't know who he was.
"Hi," she said in a cheerful mood.
Gaara played this out in his head all the time. He always imagined this day, the day when someone--somewhere showed kindness to him and greeted him with cheerfulness. He always played it out and always knew what he was going to say, but couldn't find the words at the moment. It was just this was so unexpected that he just froze in surprise.
"Is this swing taken?" she asked with a smile.
Gaara still just sat there with his eyes wide as saucers and mouth partially open. The little girl didn't seem to mind though. She just smiled and turned to swing as she said--
"I take that as a 'no'."
And so she kicked her legs back and forth making her swing higher and higher. She was just filled with such an energetic field that it amazed Gaara. He just watched her as she soared higher and higher then . . . she did something he thought was mad. She jumped.
She had the biggest smile on her face as her body was soaked in the beams of the moon shinning down on the playground. It seemed to go back so slow for Gaara as he watched her giggle her way down. She landed on her feet and with a roll she was up to do it again. She giggle and ran back to the swing to reach a new height in her jump.
Gaara soon snapped out of it and decided to swing with her. He gave off a smile that rivaled his others and kicked his short legs as fast as he could so he could swing as high as she and perhaps at the same beat as well so he could see her more and enjoy her presence even greater.
Gaara swung higher than he had ever gone. One reason being that he never really had anyone to rival at swinging before. His chest was heaving with excitement as he looked at the girl next to him . . . she was even with him and they were swinging on the same beat.
He smiled to her as she giggled at him. Before he knew it though she jumped and for a slipt second he feared she'd run off so he had to jump to stop her.
"W-wait," he said deciding to jump at the wrong moment.
Gaara fell right on his face, but thanks to shukaku the landing was soft. The girl had thought it was harder than it looked so she gasped and ran to him.
"Are you okay?! Are you hurt?" she asked worrying he was hurt.
"Actually . . . no," he said realizing it didn't hurt one bit.
"You jumped too soon," the girl smiled.
"I guess I did," said Gaara glancing at her then down and then back at her again.
"I'm Matsuri," the little girl smiled as she shook his hand quickly.
"I'm Gaara," he said with regret knowing once he said his name she'd bolt off and run for it.
"Nice to meet you Gaara-kun," she said with a smile.
"Huh?" said Gaara surprised she didn't know him as well as he thought.
"Why the long face?" she asked.
"You mean . . . you don't know me?" he asked.
"No, should I?" she asked with innocence as she cocked her head to the side.
"You're not afraid of me?" he asked just to be sure.
"Should I be?" she asked with a bright blink.
Gaara didn't say another word, he didn't need to. He just smiled so big and almost cried because someone had decided to befriend him.
"Are you alright?" she asked seeing the tears. "Are you sure you didn't hurt yourself?"
"Yes," he said with a smile as he wiped the tears from his eyes with his arm. "Why are you out here so late?"
She just shrugged and leaned on the swing set as she cast her eyes down and said--
"My parents are gone."
"Did they die?" asked Gaara.
"No," she said with a quick shake of the head. "They're off fighting. They always are. I usually stay home in the day 'cause I got nothin' to do. When it turns night though I like to come here and play."
"Do you ever get lonely?" asked Gaara twiddling his fingers slightly.
"Yeah sure," she said with a shrug. "But I'm not anymore. You wanna know why?"
"Why?" asked Gaara with a smile.
"Because I'm with you know Gaara-kun," she said with the sweetest smile a girl could make.
Gaara slightly blushed at that and closed his eyes. He was so happy. He was glad that his prayers did come true. His friend did fall from the night sky and now he hoped she'd stay with him.
"Do . . . so you have anywhere to go Matsuri?" he asked shuffling his feet.
"Since we're friends now, call me Matsuri-chan," she said with a smile.
Gaara's heart lifted so high that he felt a little light headed. He inhaled and stood on his tiptoes as he clasp his hands together. She was everything he's dreamed and prayed for. A friend of all friends.
Please Kami let her stay, he prayed in his heart.
"M-matsuri-Chan," he stuttered in excitement. "Will you stay and play with me."
"Sure," she said with a smile.
Gaara nodded his head and quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the merry-go-round. He made sure he was extra careful with her for he didn't want to accidentally hurt her like the others less she run from him too. There they played all night until the sun began to come up.
Gaara was surprised by how energetic she was through the night and even when the sun came up. Usually the children need plenty of sleep, but once the sun's beams began to hit the village she smiled and quickly turned to Gaara saying--
"Gaara-kun, come this way!"
This time she grabbed him and dragged him to a place far from other people. There she ran up a hill with him that shown the perfect view of the morning sun. Gaara just looked at Matsuri so filled with life. He could tell she was a bit older than him seeing how she knew about things most other children didn't . . . one was this perfect spot to witness a new day.
"Look!" she pointed at the rising sun and the rose pink skies. "Isn't it pretty?"
"Wow," gasped Gaara in awe with a smile seeing the new day take shape in a whole knew way than he had ever imagined or dreamt of.
"It's almost like someone is using a jutsu huh?" said Matsuri turning to Gaara. "To bring up the sun to make us smile."
"Yeah," said Gaara with a shake of the head and a awe smile.
Matsuri sat down and so did Gaara. Together they watched the sun come up until the pink in the sky had disappeared and the the sun no longer touched the horizon.
"Do you always do this Matsuri-chan?" asked Gaara.
"Mhm," she said with a shake of the head. "Would you like to do it all the time?"
"If you're always there," said Gaara with a slight blush.
"Sure," said Matsuri with a grin. "My parents are always out so we can do that. Now I won't be so lonely . . . and either will you."
Gaara's heart skipped a beat as she said that. It was like she knew what he had been going through. Like she had been watching him for a while, but the thing was is that one look just told her.
"Neither will I?" asked Gaara.
"Nope, no more," said Matsuri with a smile. "As long as you promise to be my friend foreva. Will you?"
"Yes," whispered Gaara not hesitating one bit. "YES!"
"Okay then," she said with a smile as she held out her hand. "Friend . . . Gaara-kun."
Gaara gently took hold of her hand with a warm smile that almost made him cry. He had never been so happy in his life. How could he ask fore more?
Everything felt so right, so perfect. It was like the stars were all aligned and the world was at peace . . . well . . . at least Gaara's world was. Even if it was only for a moment he was happy. At least it was a feeling he now understood.
After the sun was up high Matsuri turned to Gaara and smiled. It was then he saw the weariness in her eyes. She needed her sleep and she needed to go home. Gaara wished that wasn't so, but it is what had to come to pass.
He was afraid she'd go home and never come back, but somehow he knew that wasn't true.
"Well goodbye Gaara-kun," she said as she let go of his hand and turned to go home. "I'll see you tonight right?"
"Will you?" asked Gaara in happiness.
"Uh-huh," she said with a smile. "With or without you I'll be there."
"But I'll be there, I promise," he said clasping his hands together.
"Pinky-swear?" she asked holding up her tiny pinky.
Gaara just looked at it confused. He had never seen something like this before. Matsuri saw his confusion and so said--
"You wrap your pinky around mine and it makes a promise."
"Oh, okay," he said with a smile as he did what she said.
"There," said Matsuri with a smile as she let go and turned.
"W-wait!" he called to her as she walked down the hill. "Please don't leave me!"
"What are you talking about?" she asked turning to him who had now run to her.
"Please don't leave me like everyone else has," he said almost shaking in fear.
Matsuri saw he was afraid. She saw he was afraid of losing her and knew she must be the only friend he's got in the world. She let out a sigh and shook her head.
"What kind of a friend would I be if I leave you?" she asked with a smile.
"But you are . . . I just know it! You'll leave and never come back . . . like everyone else," he said.
"Gaara-kun . . . you think I'm like . . . everyone else?" she asked casting her eyes down.
"Uh . . . I . . ." said Gaara casting his eyes down realizing that he may have hurt her feelings with his words. "No . . . no I don't."
"Then I'll be there," she said with a reassuring smile. "I'll be back I pinky-sweared remember?"
"Right," said Gaara with a smile.
And so he watched Matsuri leave. He ran off back home and waited anxiously for night to come. Once it was at least the bit of night he ran off to the playground where the kids had just finished and gone home for the night. He saw she wasn't there and he felt betrayed, but soon realized it was too early so he waited.
He sat on the swing seat and just stayed there. An hour had passed and he felt more and more horrible. Why had she not come yet? She swore she would right? Was she different than everyone else or was she . . . just like everyone else?
He was soon snapped out of his thoughts as he hurt the cringe of the swing set. He turned and saw that same smiling brunette with gleaming onyx eyes. He starred at her in almost shock until she asked--
"Is this swing taken?"
Gaara then smiled wide and was content. He smiled at her so big that it made her try and rival his smile. She wasn't like everyone else . . . she wasn't.
Thank-you, his heart sang out to the heavens because of her. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you.

Family pictures after church on Easter Sunday morning
Reagan (1 day shy of 7 years old) and Kennedy (5 1/2 years old)
Jackson (3 1/2 years old) and McKinley (14 months old)
Checking out their Easter baskets from the Easter Bunny
McKinley found her chocolate!!!
After church Uncle Dan, Aunt Dorothy, Heidi and Holden as well as our good friends, the Skinners came over for dinner. Uncle Dan works so hard at getting Miss McKinley let him hold her and she gives him such a hard time! Had to catch this moment when she went to him willingly. :)
After dinner it was time for our final Easter Egg hunt with just our cute kiddos, but first we of course had to torture them with a group photo. Can you believe all three families chose this color to wear with absolutely no coordination between Dorothy, Amy and me??? I must say that in my humble opinion we have some pretty cute kids!!! :)
Ready, set go!
Thank you for celebrating the resurrection of our Lord with us! God has blessed us with amazing family and friends to share these special moments with! We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and made equally good memories with your friends and family!
