(Sep 2016 – Mar 2018)
I joined Esoterix, a transport orientated solutions developer, at the time they needed to begin designing and developing technical solutions for Innovate UK and European funded projects to experiment with different types of first / last mile taxi / bus integration services to enhance the public transport network to a point where public transport was the obvious choice for travel rather than usage of a car.
My role at Esoterix was extremely wide ranging as a start up CTO – From initially designing and coding MVPs myself while gradually building a development team from nothing up to 4, scaling up other parts of the business as it became necessary to redesigning the platform architecture for post MVP growth. Over the period my role encompassed Lead Developer, Technical Architect, Scrum Master, Tester, Mentor, DevOps, Infrastructure Support, Line management and Product Owner roles as well as informing technical direction as part of the C-Level board. I worked with external partners on projects both academic and practical.
(May 2016 – Present)
I began gathering a community of like-minded pragmatic agilists together in order to discuss, debate and find a productive way forward for the agile community in the face of growing agile dogma. The core web platform is now available and a certification scheme has been established for experts in the field to peer review each other and certify highly capable individuals as being experienced with agile from a pragmatic perspective, utilising multiple frameworks and techniques. The advent of GDPR made this venture unprofitable and the website is now purely informational.
(October 2015 - April 2016)
Agile Coach & Consultant, Pilot Scrum Master
I provided Agile consultancy services to co-design the transformation of Somo's delivery structure from a basic waterfall / studio combined structure into a Scrum based delivery system for 3 teams and 1 team running Kanban. As a Digital agency, Somo has many clients and teams have to be able to deliver to multiple client products at once while maximising the potential of skill sharing. This started with a pilot phase where I acted as a Scrum master for a pilot team working with the US office to evolve the implementation strategy for the rest of the engineering teams in the business.
I recruited new Scrum master roles into the business and both wrote and provided detailed custom training courses on Scrum & Agile basics, tailored to Product Owners, Team Members & Project Managers while mentoring existing staffs through the new ways of working. I reconfigured the existing JIRA system to a more flexible form to suit the new approaches and provided training on the changes.
(Jul 2014 - October 2015)
Lead Developer, DevOps, Facilitator
I Facilitated the project, initially with 3 developers and 3 QA dedicated to the project for the first 4 months then took responsibility for the full life-cycle, development and most of the testing in the support period that followed liaising with the client's project manager, providing the interface to the end client. I introduced the team to several key agile concepts to improve the flow of work and facilitated estimation of tasks to report the current state of the project back to the project manager.
The team went through several distinct iterative phases of workflow, each time moving away from the initial waterfall spec to add elements to the workflow pipeline to improve quality and reduce bugs.
(February – March 2015)

Technical Architect, CTO
Architectural design for the next generation of the Buzz platform, transforming the MVP into a microservice architecture using a mixture of isolated data sources including Graph and Document databases, as appropriate to need. The system POCs were built using dotnet core 2.0 and CosmosDB in Graph mode with libraries created for graph structured dynamic logging and to translate defined object structures from a common model to the appropriate type of data store. The new front end is to be a React based front end as an SPA, designed to incorporate the appropriate services for the type of transport experiment that the application needs to support. The application will run and scale on the Azure platform. Development work on this beyond the POC stage is ongoing.

Data storage had to be temporary, so Cosmos DB in Document mode was an ideal solution, data set to expire and self-delete after a period of inactivity. DevOps and planning were managed by VSTS. Swagger was implemented, along with a custom API automation suite for end to end testing of the API.
(Sep 2016 - Oct 2017)

Tuition and fees for four-year public colleges grew by 72 percent above inflation over the past decade, averaging $8,244 last year, according to the College Board.
WOW! Since I have three kids going into college, this is very disconcerting. I was, of course aware that tuition's are rising very fast, but the timing brings the situation into sharp focus. College bound young people are having to consider graduating with major debt and reduced job prospects.
The decision is made for many poor and middle class kids by the cost-they simply can't afford it. If they can manage they settle for less than their first choice. I'm not certain if anyone has the answer, Democrats or Republicans, but the answer needs to be found if we want our country to continue to be great. Like lots of these issues the answer is compromise and a combination of approaches. In the meantime, those of us who aren't in the 1% continue to struggle with the situation.

Teshima Island,
Rei Naito and Ryue Nishizawa
A droplet, glistening in the light, glides across the smooth white concrete, a faint dark trail left in its wake. Focused on its trajectory, it adjoins its neighbours, forming a pool or microcosm of the fluid formed cocoon we inhabit. Within this cavernous space of white surfaces and light gravity takes hold, manipulating the pool into a stream gently trickling towards a tiny hole in the slab and back into the earth.

Kashkashian's intense focus, superb craftsmanship and explosive virtuosity are brought to bear on Béla Bartók's final work, on one of György Kurtág's early pieces, and on an important new work written especially for her by Peter Eötvös.
Interconnections between the composers and the interpreter are many. Something akin to a line of transmission runs from Bartók to Eötvös via Kurtág. Kurtág has famously said that his "mother tongue is Bartók", and his Movement for Viola and Orchestra was directly influenced by Bartók's Violin Concerto and Concerto for Orchestra. Peter Eötvös was born, like Bartók, in Transylvania, befriended Kurtág in Budapest, and his musical development was decisively influenced by the work of both composers. "György Kurtág's music", Eötvös has noted, "is deeply rooted in European tradition. The certainty and glowing intensity of his works remind me of Van Gogh and Dostoyevsky. The increasing success of his music comes on the one hand from the fact that his powerful, subjective ability to express himself cannot be pigeonholed in any of the familiar stylistic movements, and on the other hand, from the fact that his music has an unusually vital relationship to the living and the dead." A similar claim might well be made for the musics of Eötvös himself and Bartók, in which innovation and respect for the weight of tradition are keenly balanced.
Kashkashian, who has worked closely with Kurtág, was instrumental in bringing his music to the New Series and made the premiere recording of his revised six-part cycle "Jelek" (ECM New Series 1508). She has also worked under the baton of Eötvös and has, furthermore, been playing the Bartók Viola Concerto for three decades now. In preparation for the current project she went back to some of Bartók's own sources, "listening to a lot of the Hungarian folk music he collected to study the articulation of melody, rhythm, phrasing." (ECM Records)

The Inspirations.
I cannot remember when and how I learned about Saab's blog. But one thing I know is that after visiting it for the first time, I instantly bookmarked it on my laptop and made a lot of research about her. I remember that was the time when the famous Francis Magalona died and I get curious about the lady who stand beside Maxene Magalona. And that is Saab Magalona. It is my love for Francis Magalona's music that leads me to her daughter's blog. I only know few things about her. She doesn't want her name to be spelled with a single "A". She started blogging back when she was still in high school, I think 14 years old. I am a fan. But not a die-hard one. It amuses me how she was able to blog it such a light manner. Yung pede ka tumawa kahit medyo mabigat yung topic. I like how she is so true in her post. I like how she posts about herself but still has her privacy. And I am so thankful that Saab's blog gave me inspiration in blogging. Maybe because we kinda have the same reason why we started blogging and we both have fear in Public Speaking.
After getting addicted to Saab's blog, I started searching about who among the artist I know has blog. And then a friend told me about Bianca Gonzales's blog. Cool. I didn't know she has one. What I love about Bianca's blog is that it is simple. It is blogging the simplest thing in life yet somebody will learn from it. Nagets niyo ba ko? It is simple in a way na, what you see in Bianca in TV is exactly who and how she blog. When I read on her posts, damang dama ko na boses niya yung nagsasalita sa isip ko. That is how it is to me. I hope I can also be like that on my readers. PS I admire Bianca's cartwheel shots on her travel posts.
I admire Rovie on how she manages her time in work, blogging, family and her love life. My first look on her blog, I was a bit ambivalent, I am not into fashion kasi. But when I saw her post about something that she thrifted, I said, Wow, it looks elegant. Then I remember my best friend, the one who ask me to go to ukay shops but I don't go with her 'cause I'm not interested. I told her about Rovie, but she is not into blogs so it ended up I was the one who gets addicted to Rovie's blog. And as well as to ukay shops. I said, I hope I can find one like what Rovie find. Haha. But it doesn't stop there, one day, I get the chance to read all her post, I saw her post about her love life, her family, her work and herself. Actually, it is the Sentosa post that made me hooked into her blog. I feel like we have the same love story. Haha. I feel like I am really a stalker now. Anyway, I like how Rovie blogs, its short but concise. Sometimes, I read a lot of blog and when I see those na super haba, I get to leave it behind. That is why I am inspired on how Rovie do that. And that is what I want to learn from her. See super haba ng post na ito.
My girl crush number 1. After I am hooked to Rovie's blog, I get interested to fashion, and was able to search about Vern and Tracy's blog. I learned about Vern first. I really envy her a lot. Oh my gosh. Haha. I can say that she is almost perfect. Beauty, brains and all. And her sister Verniece, I hope I can be their sister too. Haha. Ambisyosa ko. Anyway, I admire Vern for being able to reach out on her followers. If you visit her blog, you can this "Link your blog and I will try to visit each and every one of them :-) Thank you so so much. :-) <3, Vern." Not all bloggers do that. That is the first reason why I am inspired by her. And the second one is how she was able to show no competition since she and her sister is in the same career path. She even included the link of her sister's blog on her account. See, how unselfish she is. How she loves her sister a lot and I admire that. I am an only child and I always seek that kind of love, and I found it in blogging.
My girl crush number 2. I get to know Tracy's blog from a friend. After the first visit, I get obsessed agad agad. Her travel posts, her fashion post. I love it. Every single detail. She is like another Laureen Uy. But there is something different that I love about Tracy. She looks so sweet. So sweet that when I see her photos, Wala na I'm hypnotized and I get to be excited about the next blog nanaman. And also she has a good taste on where to shoot her outfit photos. And that inspires me in blogging. Her photos. :) I am so KILIG while writing this. HAHA.
These people are my inspirations. And i love them. They may not know me personally, but I would like to thank them for making blog posts. In that, I was able to learn things that I will be using in my blogging career. One day, if I will achieve all my dreams in blogging, I will look back that once in my life I was able to visit their blog and the rest was history. :)
With love, DYS. ♥

Yep, we did it. We went to the zoo AGAIN today! This has been Tyler's first weekend without overtime in a while, and we were determined to do something fun as a family, regardless of what mother nature gave us.
Sassy was super excited to see the "aminals" again. We were able to spend about 2 1/2 hours walking around before the rain started coming down. Now, we are under severe weather alerts, and I am trying to post a quick blog before I unplug my computer for the night (yes, I have learned the hard way...).
Here's the obligatory zoo entrance picture. Sassy was in her own little world. Can you see the owie on her cheek? She woke up in the middle of the night screaming. I though she had a bad dream, and scooped her up and brought her into our bed. Turns out, she whacked her face on the bed. Poor girl. Little A seemed pretty excited to be back in zoo-land:
Here's one of Sassy and the chimp statue:
Little A enjoyed sitting in the "pwetend" chimp nest. Sassy assured me several times that it was just "pwetend":
My peeps:
We had a great time watching the elephants today. Isn't it amazing how they can stretch out their trunks?:
I was really fascinated by these trunks of theirs today:
What a site to see:
I couldn't believe that these huge animals would kneel down and reach so far out for food! It cracked me up watching this one- do you see his tail? It's like he was using every last inch of his body for balance:
This Colobus Monkey just had a baby on April 20th. Isn't he cute?:
Sassy feeding Daddy some popcorn. I had to document the fact that she was sharing. Food. Voluntarily:
Little A playing "So Big!":
My pretty baby girl:
The Swine Flu? Seriously? OK, let me just explain a little something to you.
I am terrified of pandemics. I know most people are terrified of pandemics, but I am extra terrified.
I think it all began in third grade when I was assigned The Black Death for a school report. Basically, since then, things have snowballed. Anthrax. Who needs mail? Bird Flu. Yikes. Threats of another huge pandemic. Where's my plastic bubble?
So, now, swine flu? In the U.S.? Mere days after I first learn of it? What's that, you say? In Kansas? From Mexico through Mid-Continent Airport to somewhere in Dickinson County? I'm never leaving my house again.
Seriously. Should we have even gone to the zoo today? Should I send Sassy to preschool? I can't take this right now...
Laugh now people... if I perish due to swine flu, you will all feel terrible. Very, very terrible. I do have a cough, you know? And, I think my lymph nodes are a bit enlarged...
In case you didn't know... this very post is my 199th... which makes my next one number 2-0-0! Who hoo! If I make it through to see the day (see above), I will be hosting my very first giveaway! Stay tuned...
April 26, 2009
The Zoo, Swine Flu, and #2(00)...
2 sweet tweets:
- Kendra said...
First of all, Little A's smile in that first pic is too cute =).Second, Love Sassy and the chimp.
Third, I am SO with you on the swine flu. SERIOUSLY?!?! SWINE?!?! I was telling David this afternoon (after spending hours reading about it) that I am begging God to please not let the "SWINE" anything that kills us.
NOT the name I wanna go out under.

I'm in on the swine flu also... do you think they try to terrify us, or is it justified?

Beer wagons are cool. Even if you don't drink beer it's not hard to appreciate their uniqueness. Some are large and grandiose like the Budweiser wagon while others are small and quaint. Among the 'small and quaint' variety is this wagon from Zweibrücken, Germany. These photos were taken at one of the many fests during the 1980's and it was actually my first time (that I can remember) seeing a beer wagon in real life after having seen them on TV and in the movies. As I begin to photograph or scan more of the collection we'll be posting more beer stuff, so for now - Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina

In the aftermath of the volcanic ash extravaganza, "Michelin starred chef" probably isn't the first phrase that comes to mind when you say "Iceland". But judging by the tasty morsels I sampled last week, it soon will be. I was invited to an event to celebrate the awarding of a Michelin star to Icelandic chef Agnar Sverrisson at Texture restaurant in Mayfair.
Foolishly, I arrived too late to sample everything on offer but I did manage to nibble some unusual gastronomic delights, including bacon popcorn and some delicious Icelandic cod with chorizo and tapenade. Yum.
It was good to be reminded of the creativity and talent that comes out of Iceland, especially during a time when the rest of the UK were grumbling and acting as if the Icelanders themselves had gleefully put a giant pin in the volcano and let it burst, causing havoc.
I've had a soft spot for Iceland since I first visited it on a Geography field trip years ago. It's a stunning country, and one where the people seem very easily at one with nature. Being "eco" isn't a trendy lifestyle choice in Iceland, it's just the way things are done. I met one woman who had a geyser burst through her kitchen floor and instead of making a drama about it, she just shrugged her shoulders and set about shifting her kitchen a few inches to the west to avoid the spewing hot steam!
In fact, building houses to work in harmony with the local environmental conditions is something Icelanders are very good at. The picture below (found at eco blog Inhabitat) is an ecologically sound house that is designed to blend into its landscape by using natural materials, including a grass roof. The house relies on passive solar design, geothermal heating and hydroelectric power for its energy needs, and is made of salvaged materials where possible.
I can't write a blog post about Iceland's creativity without mentioning its most famous export – the wonderfully eccentric Bjork. The photo below, part of a Nick Knight series, hangs in our flat and I don't tire of its ethereal beauty.

Nigarious is known as the prince of raiders on the island of Dritheena, and is a constant terror to some of the human fortresses in the area. He is the adopted son of Aleejin, the king of the raiders, and gets all the credit for his raids unlike Aleejin who remains unknown for the most part.
Nigarious is a proud man and carries a sword and revolver wherever he goes. He his loyal to his father, but at times gets irritated at him when he isn't told everything that there is to know.The raiders are more than simple crooks that go about the mountains pillaging cities. As time reveals they have a much darker agenda behind them, and it is up to the protagonist, Levi, to stop them.

Wasting Time
Of course, I am relatively flexible about what I deem 'time well spent'. Playing RPGs, brainstorming, laughing and hanging out with friends, these are not wastes of time by any means. That are important, necessary, and they make it easier to handle the rest of the baggage and garbage life has to offer.
So this weekend, with some exception, was wasted.
True, I got to run my game at the learning center in Brooklyn for the kids and it was fun but the rest of the weekend felt like I accomplished nothing. When I say nothing I mean I didn't even accomplish that unwinding and recharging that comes with enjoying ones self in some way on the weekend.
The end result is I am starting this week a bit under-enthused. That is why this post is such a downer. Sorry. I felt the need to get this off my chest and placed somewhere. I chose here. It's my blog, I can do what I want right?
If you want to know what RPGs do for me, what purpose they ultimately serve in my life it's this...they prevent and neutralize this. They get right of this feeling of nearly crippling blah.
A new game is needed. And soon.

Hope your week gets better. :)ReplyDelete
Great job running that game for kids. Are you not in a regular campaign right now?
As I noted a few posts back, my Champions game is on hiatus due to difficulties in scheduling. We are going to make an attempt next Saturday and my fingers are crossed. The group has been somewhat unreliable about showing up on time if at all and so I can only hope for the best.ReplyDelete
Aw, campaign or not it's Star Wars week! 3d! Waiting at the end of the week!ReplyDelete
I'm not always eager to give Mr Lucas still more money, but I'm ok with this because I get to watch them in theaters with my kids for the first time.
That's my contribution to a more positive outlook this week.
I wish I could agree with you Blacksteel but isn't it the Phantom Menace that is up first? You'd have to pay me to watch that film again. Extra hazard pay for 3D.ReplyDelete
It's probably my least favorite but I am a fan of Master Neeson's work, and the duel and the podrace should be fun in 3D. I'll be happier when we get to the classics but starting small is fine.ReplyDelete
I'd still like to hear more about your kid game too - what you're doing, if the same kids play it every time, if any of them ask about it in between, what aspects they seem to like the most. It is on-topic and you have been doing it for a while now, so share some more.

Meaningful Beauty by Cindy Crawford Voxbox from Influenster review. First off I'm 36, but have no serious wrinkles, fine lines, or sagging. Blessed with good genes. I am starting to notice a bit of dullness, though. So, needless to say, I was thrilled to get to try this free in my Influenster meaningful beauty voxbox. It has a very light texture! Bonus, because I loathe heavy creams. It does not make me break out, and I am prone to break outs on my chin. It works very well to brighten my dull spots and even me out. I end up looking more glowy and supple. I use it at night after cleansing, and it keeps my skin soft and feeling fresh in the morning. I would recommend it to anyone.
Kroger fuel points from gift cards
When you shop at Kroger and buy gift cards, you earn extra fuel points using your rewards card. It is all automatic and carefree and I get to reap the benefits all year. I buy the gift cards for personal use and/or presents. Every 100 points is $0.10 off per gallon. Kroger currently has a promo of double rewards points. Couldn't be happier with the process. I had gotten some coupons for 4x fuel points from BzzAgent and bought gift cards for shopping for Christmas and as gifts. I then earned over 1000 points which is $1 off per gallon of gas. Now go get you some of those savings!! #gotadiscount
Kroger skillet meals and sides
I got the free sausage rigatoni from BzzAgent for my husband, myself and our 3 year old. It had a good flavor, but the amount in the bag small and it was skimpy on the sausage. I liked that the Rigatoni was aldente after being cooked. My favvvvvorite part is that it was one pan and 10 minutes. I will purchase this. But next time two bags and might try a different variety. I also got the garlic bread. Mmmmm. Tastes just like the name brand and cooks as quickly as the skillet meal. Add the salad and you are done in 15 minutes start to table. The bag of salad a little smaller than name brand, but I didn't verify. The greens were mixed and fresh and ready to eat. My husband is a big salad person and thought it was comparable to name brand.

Edgelarks (Phillip Henry & Hannah Martin, UK) + Joe Filisko & Eric Noden (USA) Tickets
6:00pm, Thu 4 January, 2018
Spotted Mallard, MELBOURNE, VIC
This event has passed and sales are now closed
Event Details
A very special double-bill from these two extraordinary international artists, fresh from Woodford Folk Festival.
Doors 6pm
Joe Filisko & Eric Noden 8:30-9:30
Edgelarks 10-11pm
Edgelarks ~ Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin (UK) :
Edgelarks fly in on the tailwind of BBC award winning duo Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin. The new band name comes with a new project, taking the roots of their previous work - British traditional musics, Indian classical slide guitar, stomping roots beatbox harmonica party; adds a strong stem of original writing; and runs wilder with each gig.
The new album, also called "Edgelarks", concerns the liminal: borders, crossroads, travellers, refugees, twilight, dawn. In large part written during their travels in Australia in 2016 (Port Fairy Folk Festival, Blue Mountains Music Festival, Fairbridge Folk Festival), the album takes inspiration from new horizons, new stories, spacious landscapes. A key song, "Signposts", was directly written as a celebration of their time in Tasmania; a travellers anthem imbued with a touch of homesickness, but alight with the excitement of adventure, and the special connections music can make with others, even when you are a world away from home.
Edgelarks takes the idea that thresholds, despite often being places of marginalisation, are also places of change - and therefore places of hope. That in the end, we have far more in common than things that divide us, because we are all liminal - we are all just passing through.
"Best Folk Duo" : BBC Awards.
"Imaginative dobro, guitar and harmonica work ... evocative fiddle and banjo playing and enchanting vocals." 4.5 stars ~ Tony Hillier, The Australian
"Combination of virtuosity, intensity and charisma... Subtle, atmospheric, bravely original." : The Guardian
"A modern classic... one of the best duos on the planet." - BBC

Joe Filisko & Eric Noden (Chicago, USA)
Ultra-rhythmic and highly entertaining, this Chicago blues duo creates a very big sound with just a harmonica, a guitar and vocal harmonies reminiscent of Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. Mining rag time, acoustic blues, old time country, jug band music and early jazz, Filisko and Noden are expert practitioners of styles that defined the blues in its earliest days, channeling the spirit of masters like Sonny Boy Williamson and Big Bill Broonzy, taking their traditions in vibrant new directions. With jaw-dropping virtuosity and hilarious story-telling, Filisko and Noden have a synergy born of many years on the road, taking their toe-tapping music across the world.
They return to Australia in January 2018 to perform at Woodford Folk Festival plus some very special shows. Unmissable!

The Three-Dimensional Flow Structure and Forces of Flapping-Wing Hovering from Experiments
Matthew Ringuette Principal Investigator
MetadataShow full item record
Ringuette, Matthew
1336548

The research objective of this proposal is to understand the unsteady, 3D flow structure produced by a flapping wing in hover, how it relates to the forces, and the effect of key parameters such as stroke amplitude. In nature, flapping wings have low aspect ratios (ARs), and due to the high angles of attack and low Reynolds numbers flow separation and roll-up into vortices occurs.

Intellectual Merit
Wings in hover are known to generate highly 3D, interconnected vortex loops, which shed each half-stroke and create an overall downward jet-like flow to sustain the body weight. Prior experiments using animals or mechanical models, coupled with flow visualization or 2D digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV), have shed light on the loop structure, but the 3D vortex topology and its relationship to the lift force remain open topics. Computational studies focusing primarily on animal configurations provide greater detail and insight. However, there is a lack of experimental, 3-component 3D DPIV data, and the effects of parameters such as half-stroke amplitude, AR, and motion program on the flow structure are not well understood. A key question is: why do hovering animals flap with amplitudes of 3-5 chord lengths? The approach is to perform experiments using a 2-degree-of-freedom flapping-wing model with simplified wing geometries and motions. The goals are to understand the 3D vortex topology, its variation with half-stroke amplitude, AR, and velocity program, and how it relates to the forces. Of interest are changes in the vortex structure for different cases. Diagnostics include dye visualization, stereoscopic DPIV (SDPIV) for 3-component velocity fields, and force measurements.

Broader Impacts:
This research will provide valuable insight into the design of highly-maneuverable bio-inspired micro air vehicles (MAVs). They can collect scientific information in complex environments, e.g. urban settings, caves, and disaster sites such as collapsed buildings after an earthquake, where conventional drones cannot operate. Moreover, they could operate efficiently in swarms to track the spread of a toxic gas plume, for example. The results of the proposed research will yield a greater understanding of the unsteady vortical flow and how kinematics and AR affect maximum lift, yielding design strategies for flapping-wing MAVs. The educational and outreach component, which focuses on engaging and mentoring students at many levels through hands-on research in bio-inspired propulsion, will motivate them to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. This addresses the need for a national workforce of exceptional scientists and engineers.

Are you happy with your life? Or are you always whining about your life? Actually you are the main contributor, the determiner of how your life is.
God created us with a purpose and give us life. All we have to do is go with the flow. What comes into our life is gifts from God. Do not compare it with others. Do not ask for more. Do not crave for other things. What is there for you is yours. It is the best for you. Accept it with open heart. Be thankful to God.
When we accept whatever God give us we do not resist his gifts. We are being harmony with ourself and God. And when we thank Him for the gifts, we appreciate them and we will get more gifts. Life will be peaceful and abundant.
If we do not know what to do with the gift or doesn't like the gift. The first step is to accept it and be thankful. Something is better than nothing. Then work your way to make use of the gift. There is always a way if you focus and work on it. Trust me God will help you in you endeavor. And when you succeed, be thankful again. You will get more gifts and help from God. Your life will be full of abundance.
Sometimes on your way to success, there are obstacles and disturbances. Accept them peacefully as they come. They are teachers that help us to learn new skills, polish existing skills and learn to be patient. Work your way out smartly and peacefully. If there is nothing you can do about it. Just accept it and leave to God to deal with it. It is not your part. It comes to teach you to be patient. Then let it go and move on.
So my dear friends put a sincere smile in your face today and live your life as it is.

My girls, caught during an intimate moment.
You have a dirty patch here... Lemme get it for you.
The look on Angels face is priceless!!
It is so sweet to see how much they love each other!
Streak has been missing for 2 days and 2 nights. :( She must have felt Tropical Storm Lee coming and holed up somewhere, but now that we're having a break in the rain she's still not coming when I call...
I'm sure she's okay, luv. She probably senses that the downpour isn't over yet and is still sheltering somewhere. When the pull of the stomach gets stronger than the fear of the rain, she'll pop out of her hole.ReplyDelete

Hey, so firstly sorry this is late I thought this would be more appropriate to post this today but today is valentines day and I thought that I would share with you my Valentine's Day essentials, these are more for people who like me are single but they can also apply to people who are in a relationship but aren't with their loved one or a couple who want to have a relaxed day, so these are my essentials:
-A lie in, so this is not a great day for a lot of people so the least you can do is to be refreshed in the morning and throughout the day, also we all need our beauty sleep to allow our skin to heal.
-Breakfast in bed is another way to keep your moods up but be careful because there is nothing worse than getting food in your bed when you would rather be eating it.
-Either in the morning or at night, reading a romantic novel can really make you actually believe in the idea of love and feeling really romantic and maybe inspire you do something nice for someone else.
-So another one of my favourites is watching romantic movies mind you I like doing this at any time of the year but it is especially fun on Valentine 's Day and my favourite valentines film is the movie called valentine's day.
-Valentine's day isn't just for couples, it is for all people that just love some people so on valentine's day don't forget to call all of your loved ones including your parents or even your best friends because everyone who is kind to you and support you.
I hope you enjoyed my Valentine's day essentials and I wish you all a happy Valentine's Day, if you know of any other ideas that people could use then please feel free to leave them in the comments below, come back next Friday for another post. That's all for now,

Join Gordon Brown in his La-La Land
The linked article in the Times is a must read for you to understand the fantasy La-La land our supposed Prime Minister is living in.
He is currently touring the country explaining to us how he has single-handily cured the world of all its financial ill's whilst inanely grinning at anyone who asks him a tricky question such as "What about the coming Recession?".
Now the Spectator suggests it's not even his own plan but comes from the G7/IMF World Bank Leaders.
He has obviously been told to look cheery in the face of the current crisis but his inability to work out what is appropriate during current times is beyond belief. This was again demonstrated at PMQ's this week when he managed to destroy any sense of the crisis staring him in the face by his inappropriate response to David Cameron's last question, when he was accompanied in his supposed joke by the braying donkeys of his supposed Government
As Gordon fêtes his five year 500 billion "stability and restructuring" plan, World Stock markets are dropping like stones for the seventh day in a row and countries, companies and our countrymen are going bankrupt at an alarming rate. Soon Gordon will not be able to sleep for his phone ringing as another company goes bankrupt, will he be laughing for much longer.
His inability to understand that the UK is uniquely badly placed to face this recession is now becoming a joke around the world. His belief that under his 10 years of stewardship of the economic well-being of the country he created a masterpiece immune to boom and bust has collapsed around him like the walls of Jericho but he remains convinced that it was nothing to do with him.
He has pissed the wealth of this nation down a drain of spending that we could not sustain whilst not even managing to sort out those problems his government promised to cure, back 11 years ago in the heady days of 1997. Now he is attempting to portray himself as Moses returned to deliver us from this Crisis of his own doing.
I am now seriously worried about our former great country, we have a leader who can't lead and is in a state of beatification, believing himself the great leader and curer of all ills, when in fact he is verging on delusional.
Our only hope, up here in Scotland, seems to be that Alex Salmond can bring forward his promise of Independence and we can lock Gordon away down in England. Time to vote SNP or have I now gone La-La as well.
We must lead the world to financial stability | Gordon Brown - Times Online

Slavenka Drakulic
Slavenka Drakulic
A Novel about the Balkans
Release Date: 1/1/2001
LIST PRICE: $15.00 (you save $4.50)
""S. may very well be one of the strongest books about war you will ever read. . . .The writing is taut, precise, and masterful.""
Set in 1992, during the height of the Bosnian war, S. reveals one of the most horrifying aspects of any war: the rape and torture of civilian women by occupying forces. S. is the story of a Bosnian woman in exile who has just given birth to an unwanted child—one without a country, a name, a father, or a language. Its birth only reminds her of an even more grueling experience: being repeatedly raped by Serbian soldiers in the ""women's room"" of a prison camp. Through a series of flashbacks, S. relives the unspeakable crimes she has endured, and in telling her story—timely, strangely compelling, and ultimately about survival—depicts the darkest side of human nature during wartime.
"". . . Slavenka Drakulic has given the world a gift, digging into the twisted reality of war . . . a novel of cataclysmic power."" --San Francisco Chronicle
""Drakulic's novel will leave you with survivor guilt even while never having undergone the horrific events described. . . . Descriptions of camp life rival those of One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich in graphic and compelling detail."" --The Nation

You cannot successfully lose weight without being properly motivated. Don't try to lose the weight to please anyone else; you need to do this for yourself. Use the information you find here to find the necessary motivation to maximize your weight loss.
Instead of talking on the phone, get a workout done! When you are talking on the phone, move around to burn calories. Calisthenics are not required. If you walk around your home doing extra little chores, the calories you burn are going to add up.
Hypnotism is a legitimate weight loss technique, believe it or not. Although nontraditional, hypnosis may help you to change certain bad habits and improve your lifestyle.
Rather than consuming a large meal during the late evening hours, consume this big meal during your lunch hour. If you usually have a small sandwich for lunch, try it for dinner instead. Since you burn more calories during the day and less at night, it makes more sense to eat more during the day and less in the evening.
weight loss
Making lunch for yourself each day is a key to weight loss success. Eating your own lunch will help keep your calories in check as you control the foods. Controlling portions is essential to helping people maintain healthy weight loss and staying on track.
Eating breakfast is a good idea to lose weight. Many people believe skipping breakfast will help them lose weight, but they are wrong. It can cause cravings that cause you to consume more calories. You might end up running to the vending machine before lunch even hits because you are so hungry.
Try taking the stairs if you are serious about losing weight. Opt for the stairs instead of the elevator to burn calories.
Avoid fried food when dieting. Other cooking methods are far healthier and provide food that is delicious as well. Steaming is one excellent option, as is baking or broiling. Using these methods when cooking can help you lose some of your waistline.
Use the advice in this article, to reach your weight-loss goal safely and efficiently. Without proper motivation you will not be able to push through hard workouts and stick to your diet when you feel pangs of hunger.

Amid fears that the White House was compiling a list of those who oppose their policies, and Press Secretary Gibbs' inability to put together a coherent sentence explaining why the whole thing was so fishy, they've decided to "deactivate" the program.
And I was having so much fun!!
According to Politico.com, if you use the old email address you get the following message: "The e-mail address you just sent a message to is no longer in service. We are now accepting your feedback about health insurance reform via the website at http://www.whitehouse.gov/realitycheck."
So there! I can still have fun sending fishy information that the administration puts out to them.
It's a little more complicated, but it can still be done.
The black helicopters are still circling my house, the black limousines are still driving around and around my block, and the electrical power in my home is still going bright, then dim, but hey!
Here is my latest message to the White House:
Press secretary Gibbs erroneously stated that you do not keep a list of people who sent emails to the now defunct firstname.lastname@example.com. This, of course, was fishy, disinformation, as the law requires that all correspondence with the government be kept.
Please use the power and influence of the White House to instruct Mr. Gibbs to answer questions in complete sentences, honestly and forthrightly, instead of thinking he is fooling the people with vague misdirection.

Things seem to be crumbling all around Obama and I couldn't be happier. This health care bill was crap and everyone knows it. Why do you think he had to rush it through?
We just need to keep up the pressure!

To the one that I hurted:
I know a million thousand of "SORRY" can't express my apolpgy, for the Godsaken mistake I made, to hurt you the most, when you give so much hope on me, truly believe me and dependant on me; I did not stay by your sides, when you need me the most; I am the one who forget your birthday; I neglect you because I'm preoccupied with my stuff; and lastly, I don't even know how to tell you "I'm sorry to hurt you, my lovely friend." How could I just walked away from your life so easily and hurted you so bad. Although you said you already forgive me, but, I never say "sorry" to you face by face.
To the one that I loved:
Thank you, for being so supportive and give me your care and your love, although I start to forget to say "Thank you". You never grumble when I request help from you. You never mad at me when I did something wrong while you will try to fix it for me. You just give me whatever you can to satisfy me, listen to me and calm me down while I'm mad. You never fail to touch my heart and wipe away my tears. I couldn't say "Thank you", because that is not enough, for a friend like you, taking care of me for so long and forgive me always.
My lovely friend, do email or sms me when you miss me, even if we could not meet each other. Because deep inside our heart we know that, we care for each other. Friendship forever!!

Laser hair removal works by sending a beam of intense light to a hair follicle with enough power to destroy the root. The surrounding skin is cooled with a patented cooling tip on our latest generation Cynosure®/Palomar Icon and the Lux Rs IPL hand-piece. With this laser, clients have the power to remove hair from specific areas.
With the use of Intense Pulsed Light, a light beam targets the hair follicles. The ideal candidate for laser hair removal therefore has dark hair and light skin. The laser will not work on people with very fair or white hair.
"I would like to share my personal experience about the treatments I had at Longevity Aesthetics and Laser Clinic in Qualicum Vancouver Island B.C. From the moment I walked through the door I was met with a warm welcome by two of the friendly staff Shannon and Krista."
- Elaine Chaperon
*Individual Results may vary
"This is a note to let you know how pleased I am with my Micro-fractional laser treatment given by Dr. Biro. I found it to be nearly painless during the treatment of about one hour or so and of course no pain at all with the healing process."
- Carollee
*Individual Results may vary
I've been seeing Dr. Andy for botox and facial treatments since 2011. As a person, he is very considerate and caring; capable of interesting, lively banter - a nice to know individual. As a professional, he is quite disciplined and knowledgeable. His clinical approach is cautious and discerning - using the most appropriate treatment of the many options and products offered by his practise. He does good work and I trust him. I do not look anything like a 60+ woman - I look 40-ish.... which is quite empowering.
- from: ratemds.com
*Individual Results may vary
Dr. Biro and and the Longevity Medical staff are fantastic. I had my consult done with Shannon and she was so informative and gentle. It was liking having a heart to heart with a good friend. I had several treatments done by Dr. Biro and the results exceeded my expectations. He was knowledgeable and explained everything very well. Not only is his work excellent but his bedside manner was fantastic too,. I highly recommend Dr. Biro You will be amazed at your results.
- from: ratemds.com
*Individual Results may vary
Doc Andy is the best. Doesn't make you feel insignificant for wanting to look your best. The best part is he won't allow you to pump yourself up with more than you need like some will because its all about the money. You will have a great experience. The staff are friendly and super helpful. Book early. He's so popular here in Qualicum Beach it takes time to get into see him.
- from: ratemds.com
*Individual Results may vary
I have also had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Andy Biro and he was among one of the nicest men I have ever met. I can hardly wait to go to him for my first Botox treatment. I have heard countless good things about his work and practice and am SO excited to go and see him!

Why is IPL the treatment of choice for hair reduction?
IPL gives you a relatively long-lasting result. Traditional hair removal methods, such as waxing, shaving, depilatory creams, plucking/tweezing, sugaring, and stringing provide only temporary results — some for fewer than 24 hours. *Individual results may vary.
What does the treatment feel like?
Light emerges through a sapphire crystal window that is pressed against your skin, which gives you a little "pinch" as the device pulses. Most people experience mild discomfort during a hair reduction treatment, and many of our clients report that the sensation is more comfortable than waxing, electrolysis, or even tweezing!
Are some people better candidates than others?
Because the laser light targets the substance that gives skin and hair dark colour (melanin), the ideal candidate for IPL hair removal would have dark hair and light skin. The IPL will not work on people with very fair or white hair.
How long does an IPL hair removal treatment take?
A number of factors determine the length of time for a treatment. The size of the area to be treated factors into the time required, as does the amount of preparation. Commonly, legs and backs take an hour to an hour and a half, while an upper lip may require eight to 10 minutes. The front of the neck or underarms can take as little as 20 minutes.
How many IPL hair removal treatments will I need?
It often takes six to eight treatments to achieve an attractive clearance of an area. Some clients are happy after four treatments, and a small minority have needed more than eight. This is much less than how many treatments would be needed with the electrolysis method.
Why would I choose IPL hair removal instead of electrolysis?
The answer is simple. IPL hair reduction takes less time and many of our clients report it as being a much more comfortable process. While electrolysis is effective, it works by inserting a tiny needle into each hair follicle, one at a time, and delivering a jolt of electricity. With a hair reduction laser, the window on the laser head allows the laser to treat many hair follicles in a single pulse.

I love the cover on this book. The font, the sepia tones, the old-fashioned liner being tossed atop a sea that looks askew, all hint at a journey of the past that did not go smoothly. The story is told in the first person from the perspective of an older man recalling the past; it is of himself as an 11 year old leaving his life in Sri Lanka to join his mother in England. "Some events take a lifetime to reveal their damage and influence." He must go alone on a 3 week journey by ship. He is still a child, but childhood is ready to fall behind him. Strong friendships develop quickly in the concentrated atmosphere of shipboard relationships. Childish exploits blend with adult events but the nature of these confusing times can never be properly understood or placed in context by the young still struggling to understand the grown-up world that surrounds them. "Sometimes we find our true and inherent selves during youth. It is a recognition of something that at first is small within us, that we will grow into somehow." We are taken back and forth from his childhood perspective to his adult one as he puzzles out the meanings of various shipboard incidents culminating in a shocking action.
The first half of the book especially felt like a series of short sharp episodes, standing out in relief against a blurred background. Ondaatje's prose as usual is smooth and effortless. "In our twenties we are busy becoming other people."

[TIPS] animoto - amazing
1 comment:
- kenrodoff said...
I am "in love" (physical, nothing else) with animoto. I am using it to up my opening for Back To School Night. A lot more "entertaining" than my frumpy 'ol PowerPoint.
Good luck finding meaningful integration w/ students, but I do have one idea: the order of the photos. Students are given a theme from, oh, say Lord of the Flies, and they need to capture their own digital snapshots and then upload them to animoto.
From there, let the shuffling begin. Students need to carefully order the images to deftly convey the theme in the order in which it is examined throughout the novel*
*one glich: TV Production teachers will tell us that if the students had gone through the process of story-boarding up front, then the shuffling of images would not have to occur.
Whatever, right???
I have a sample I made for BTS Night on my blog/
Animoto away!

Artifacts #18
Story by: Ron Marz Art By: Stjepan Sejic
"THE NEW CREATION", Part Five
As the initial arc in Top Cow's REBIRTH comes to a conclusion, Tom Judge sees his mission clearly for the first time. He failed to prevent the end of the last universe, but saving this one may require him to destroy everything. RON MARZ (MAGDALENA, SHINKU) and STJEPAN SEJIC (ANGELUS) set the stakes that will consume the Top Cow Universe for the year to come.

Apparently it was "Dis the Phone Day" in the blogosphere:
Yglesias: "I couldn't be more thrilled with the phone's decline. I used to be painfully shy as a person, and while I've largely gotten over that IRL I still find it incredibly stressful to talk to people on the phone."
Atrios: "I think I enjoyed chatting with girls when I was 13 or so, but since then I've pretty much hated the phone."
Alan Jacobs: "This is a loathing I share, and have for a long time."
McMegan: "Weird fact: every single (successful) blogger I know hates talking on the phone. I'm gregarious face to face, and I'm an inveterate user of various kinds of textual messaging, but I would rather scrub my floors with a toothbrush than get on the phone."
Let me join the forces aligned against Alexander Graham Bell's famed invention…I hate the phone (as many people would attest), and I'm absolutely the last person anyone would call an introvert. I had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the era of text messaging, thinking it strictly a tool of the teenybopper set, but as I've grown accustomed to texting, I've found it more practical than actually calling in almost every situation. Besides just finding phone calls awkward and stilted (what with calls cutting in and out and painful bouts of silence), most of my disdain stems from total lack of manners displayed by the vast majority of people using their cell phones out in the general public . I'm sorry, but at 6 a.m. nobody on the bus wants to hear the play-by-play of last night's blind date ("I can't believe he thought Nick's Crispy Taco's was a good place to go!"). Call your girlfriends during your lunch break or IM them (a novel idea)! I also love the snippets of conversation I hear out of the mouths of babes (that's young folks for the uninitiated)…my hopes for the future of the nation are swiftly extinguished by sentence formulations containing one of the worst all purpose words of recent vintage and enough f-bombs to make a sailor blush. I'm also amazed by what topics people will speak freely about in front of strangers…I'm sure it's fascinating that both you and your sister hate your mother-in-law because she's a conniving bitch, but please save that conversation for when you get home…the 41 will have you back in the Marina in mere moments.
Updated to add:
This is a smart comment, and one I find myself in agreement with, over at Megan McArdle's place:
It's about control, and speed of information uptake. Reading is prefereable to listening because you can consume at whatever rate maxes out your ablity to take in info. Phonecalls disclose their data at whatever leisurely pace the other speaker feels like talking, and they tend to prevent much multitasking. With emails and text messages, you're not subject to the conversational whims of the other person, you can drop them for anything else more pressing, and you can just communicate faster overall.
Bloggers and blog consumers alike–we're just higher bandwidth people. Do you sit down and watch CNN, or do you have it on in the background with a computer on your lap? That's the test.

If you decide to get a midsize sedan, you may be overwhelmed by the options available. Every automaker has its own entry into this segment. The Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, and Nissan Altima are typically considered the most popular models. While they are similar sizes and offer similar engine output and efficiency ratings, they each have their own features that set them apart.
General Body Style
If you want to drive a midsize sedan, the Accord, Camry, or Altima will all be good options. If, however, you don't need all the space of a sedan and prefer the sleek styling of a coupe, you will be much more limited. Only the Honda Accord offers a coupe body style, filling a need the other automakers don't offer. Best of all, the Accord Coupe still has multiple options, including four trims levels and two engines for five total configurations.
Engine Output
The three midsize sedans get very similar fuel economy ratings, and their engines are neck and neck. The Accord has a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder while the other models have 2.5-liter ones. Despite having the smallest engine displacement, the Honda Accord is the most powerful, generating 185 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. The Altima isn't too far behind with 182 and 180, respectively, but the Camry only generates 178 horsepower and 170 pound-feet. All three sedans also offer a V6 engine, but the Honda Accord once again proves the most powerful.
Price and Value
The Accord, Camry, and Altima remain competitive by having nearly identical starting prices. Despite this, the Honda Accord has a small lead, starting at $295 less than the Altima and $865 less than the Camry. To make this lead more impressive, the Accord also has the best ALG residual value after both 36 and 60 months with a lead of 9 percent and 8 percent, respectively.
Take advantage of everything the Honda Accord has to offer Clifton and Passaic drivers by visiting Garden State Honda right here in New Jersey.
