how fascinating! the raindrops look like little diamantes and the manip made it look pretty cool. Spidy reminded me of my brother's collection on tarantulas during his uni days. he would bring them back from the UK in match boxes and you can't even see them at that point. then they grow and grow into palmsize spiders. pretty neat! you could actually put them on your palm and put a drop of water and they will drink it up :) your spidy tho is another story!!ReplyDelete
I was totally enchanted until I saw that unwelcome guest....eeks, he looks mean! Those webs are certainly things of beauty though!ReplyDelete
~good morning there...thanks for giving me the shivers...that is one spider that i would be bidding farewell to as well...no such heartfelt welcoming for him...but the magic that lies within them...weaving the thinniest of threads...into the most beautiful webs is really quite something...you captured their webs wonderfully well...much love light and blessings~ReplyDelete
gorgeous! one of my favorite things is nature dressed in raindrops! fun how you played with the images too.ReplyDelete
Oh wow, would not want to see one of those spiders up close! Your shots of the webs are just so magical...nature is such a wonder!ReplyDelete
Nice photos, I like the drops of water suspended in the web. Wonderful sculpture of the spider. Greetings.ReplyDelete
Wonderful pictures,ReplyDelete
I am not crazy about spiders but if I find one in the house I always try to put it outside.. of course our varieties are safe. I do love the dew drops on spider webs- such wonderful patterns that show up..I am going to try some of the new apps I added to my iPhone too.ReplyDelete
Barry, I was just wondering if you've noticed a drop in spider numbers at all? I'm not crazy about spiders, and I have to admit, Redbacks get no mercy from me as they can be deadly to small children and dogs, but spiders (apart from aforesaid Redbacks, and Daddy-long-legs) seem to be very thin on the ground in the last few years. I saw my first golden orb spider in ages last weekend, in the countryside, and they used to quite common in the suburban garden on hot nights, and I haven't had to chase a Huntsman round the bedroom walls with an icecream container in years. I find it kind of worrying.ReplyDelete
Hello, Barry.
Your work is embraced in your gentleness.
Thank you for the warmth of your heart.
The prayer for all peace.
Have a good weekend. From Japan ruma ❃
Spiders are just so extraordinary. Their webs so intricate and delicate... but super strong. I know when I walk early as I'm often entangled in them along the paths. Lovely pics.ReplyDelete
L, P (MB), B, TL, CM, L, T,D,MIA, R & JM - funny how we tend to enjoy the webs especially with rain or dew drops but like the owners to stay outside in the main. B & D - in the case of the funnel web spider it had to be despatched - too dangerous. CM - so correct - nature offers such magic. L -I'm afraid the spider was real not a sculpture - pretty big about 75mm in diameter. MIA - maybe because of your dry seasons the numbers have gone down. We still have lots of orb spiders - quite like them - so do birds and wasps. Part of the natural cycle.JM - it always gives one a start when getting a facc full of web on an early morning walk - makes me ask where is the spider, who and how big. Thanks all for enjoying the diamante like drops of water on the webs. Go well. BReplyDelete
Excellent photo of the Funnel Web, Barry. Last year we had them in the house, the pool, wandering the gardens, but this year have only seen a few. I don't mind not having them in the house and pool but it does worry me that they seem a bit thin on the ground. Lots of Orb Weavers waiting to catch the unwary walker, but what we are missing on our land this year are the deafening cicadas. Last year thousands, this year maybe half a dozen. Part of nature, I guess, but I hope they come back next year.ReplyDelete
And fancy, I had two of these just over the way at the MAR. I was clam in my approach but I am afraid I did kill them. It was me or the funnel web spiders. One came into my apartment after rain and the other came in after Gary drenched the fron to the building. I imagine they are around all the time but come out when water is around.ReplyDelete

A brief update from vacation land:
I've spent the last several days doing nothing but reading, relaxing, cooking, and spending quality time with dear friends. What a perfect vacation! I had a special treat on Sunday when I went to worship with several friends of mine. I have been hearing about this new minister at the church they all attend, "Carla this and Carla that," "Carla's the most amazing person ever," "I just adore Carla" and so on. Of course I was excited to meet and be led in worship by this woman held in such dear esteem by my friends. The worship service at this particular church begins and ends with the passing of the peace (a lovely way to bookend the service I must say). At the first passing of the peace I looked up to where the minister was and lo and behold, it was \my Carla! The Carla my friends have been raving about is the same Carla I worked with as an intern in Atlanta, the same Carla who inspired me and from whom I've borrowed a few worship ideas. I ran up to pass the peace and we were both delighted at the unexpected reunion.
It's a small world and sometimes I just love that!

Well this is terrible. I've just realized that what I'm good at is finding sales and brand name products for the best prices. I found a Zac Posen iconic eartha medium handbag for $70 brand new at tjmaxx. That price costs $550 new or when it went on sale at ASOS £235.00. How crazy is that? I found a free rug today that still has the price tag on it (originally cost $49.99). I have found many a thing and well now I have rebranded my instagram to show my shopping bargain finds. I'm not sure this will be the best for my shopping addiction but if I have something that I love to do and can share it with other people or when there are sales maybe I can find more people like me. Those who want to have nice, luxurious things but at the same time not break the bank, those who want to look like a million bucks but can't/don't want to break the bank (hey, I'm not judging you if you do break the bank trust me I've been there but have learned I cannot handle it). If anyone wants to check it out it's @black_hat_andrea
Awkward encounters
If you are reading this you must be extremely bored so I will entertain you. The other day I was shadowing (following) a nurse and we came across an old man. He asked me, "Do you know when to kiss a boy?" I said, "Nope." He responded with, "When he's rich." That's one encounter.
Yesterday, I went to the movie theater to watch a movie with my best friend. I went to get nachos and the guy asked me how many jalapeños. I said one and he came back and said, "I brought you two." I said, "Thank you." My friend then whispered to me, "He must've seen your heritage." He then, aggressively, says, "You talking shit?" Well, that escalated quickly.
Today I went to the museum with my best guy friend and his best friend. His best friend carried me so I could touch the ceiling of one of the exhibits. Yolo right? Just stereotypical teenage occurrences. Anyways hope this entertained you even if you for a bit.
Until next time,

With summer so close I can feel it I decided to put together some of the trends I've been seeing recently in Swimwear. Apparently this season tan lines are in with almost every suit featuring daring cut outs and strings , the one piece has officially made a comeback and swimsuits that don't look like swimsuits are hot. Read on for some of my favorite picks!
I especially love these suits with the prints! Call me old school but you can't go wrong with a classic. The triangle tops and bustier inspired tops are flattering, while also making it so you don't have to worry about the dreaded bikini malfunction. I really love how the second bikini ties in the cut out trend along with flirty details of the print and bustier. These are perfect for a tropical vacation or a trip to the beach!
The one piece is back! Remember when it was a total no-no to sport that one piece to the beach? I do. Well, its okay again friends and the one pieces this season have a range of styles. I am gravitating towards the crochet and cut outs but if you are bold enough there are some awesome prints and graphics out there {aka the lobster suit}. Wondering where you should sport your trendy new one piece? I would say at a pool party is the best place. Vegas here we come!
The last trend is one seen through a lot. Minimalistic colors {aka black and white} with some crazy cut outs. Personally I would wear these somewhere I wasn't planning on tanning at because I can only imagine the tan lines you would get from these babies! Im loving the lack of color though, I feel like these suits are minimalistic and classic even though they have some fun cut outs and shapes!
Hope this gives some inspiration to your Summer swim style!

Country legend Dolly Parton graced the SAG Awards stage on Sunday night (Jan. 29) to give her gal pal Lily Tomlin a lifetime achievement award.
Parton made country proud as she represented in a sparkly gown with her blonde hair as big as ever. She waltzed onstage to a standing ovation (one that reminded me that Parton is much more than a legend in this genre) with a smile from ear to ear.
"I'm not getting an award," she told the excited audience. From that moment on, her speech was full of jokes and, of course, innuendos.
"My goodness, look at this room of all these special people. I almost didn't get in," Parton said as the crowd started to laugh. "Seriously, I didn't. They kept wanting to see my IDs. Well I think it was 'IDs' maybe it was 'double Ds' something like that. Glad to get that off my chest. Jane [Fonda] and Lily are not my only two famous girlfriends."
Parton's speech was funny, but she was there for a very serious reason. Lily Tomlin, her co-star from 9 to 5, was receiving an award honoring her long and celebrated film career. Parton was just glad the award wasn't going to her.
"I might say that Lily is receiving an award I've spent my whole life trying to avoid. Sag award? If I see something sagging, dragging and bagging I'm gonna call Dr. Markowitz to get that nipped up and sucked right away."
She also joked about their hit movie, saying that people have been wanting them to do a sequel. "We better get at it or we'll have to call it 95!" she said of the 1980 comedy.
Tomlin filled her equally hilarious acceptance speech with political jabs, but those weren't the funniest moments. My personal favorite was her advice for young actors.
"So along with telling them to wear sunscreen I suggest a few other things I think you may find helpful: Don't leave the house when you're drunk," she said. "And if you're already out there, well you must learn to tell when you've had too much to drink. Listen to your friends — when they stop talking to you and start talking about you, saying things like 'did she have a purse?'
"Don't be anxious about missing an opportunity," she continued. "Behind every failure is an opportunity someone wishes they had missed. Meryl [Streep] is laughing at this and there's absolutely no time she's been a failure."
When Tomlin wrapped up her jokes and grabbed her award, Parton was there to help her carry it off the stage. Apparently that thing is pretty dang heavy!
Here's the complete list of winners from the 2017 SAG Awards.

For the first 7 days of every month, I invite you along for a juicing feast with me. Meet me here and/or sign up for my daily newsletter for recipes, practices and thoughts on the process of cleansing.
Tuesday, September 7, 2010
Yesterday was a tough day for me. My experience all day long was feeling other peoples resistance to whatever I was sharing. I found myself just wanting to give up, quit, let go... such a mix of feelings. It was not easy just to let myself have my experience. I felt so misunderstood. We went out to dinner, waiting for the holiday traffic to cease before heading back to the farm after a day of meetings in the city and I had some steamed kale and zucchini. While it tasted good, I noticed on the drive home that I felt full, uncomfortable... maybe the physical experience I was having was matching my emotional experience. Anyway, I went to sleep committed to moving through my experience and learning from it.
What I see this morning is that I am going to put more conscious energy into letting go, trusting God (over there), that while I may feel like my attention to creating what I think will be supportive of others is an expression of love for me.. it may not feel like an expression of love to others... so I can let go.
This morning I sat with Sarah, my soon to be daughter in law, and she shared that she always feels like "not enough" in my presence. I certainly am not committed to that either. I shared with her about how my love can express and she shared that she is committed to letting go of her story... the wedding is less than two weeks away!
So, I am sharing all of this so you can see that the process is on going, that JUICING is a way to support us all in clearing out everything that no longer serves us... and opening up to something new that we perhaps cannot see yet. Open up anyway.
Be gentle with your process, take it easy today, drink lots of water and plenty of juice and ease into food tomorrow while keeping your juice intake high. Sprouts, are a great reentry... chew your solid food well. Your digestive system needs some support as you add solid food.
Love yourself.
Love others.
I love you.
See you next month, please continue to share. You make a difference in MY LIFE.
Love. Terces

I stumbled to your blog from You Can Heal You Life web page and the Gratitude Cafe web page. Although I do believe there are no accidents and "stumbling" to your blog was guided, even directed. This happens to me often. I love that about Heavenly Father. I write in a gratitude Journal almost daily. I posted a tweet yesterday about gratitude and felt I needed something else. Thank you for bring me to know my truth, after reading your blog post. I feel encouraged, supported by your love (even though I don't know you personally) I still felt your love and desire for others to feel that love through your message. What a wonderful thing. Love is a universal language, anyone seeking, and extending love will find it and receive it from anywhere. Thank you for your devotion to helping people see their potential and inner strength. I got that from you today. What a gift.
Love to you.

Terces, thank you so much for supporting all of us through this process by sharing so freely of your own experiences! It really helped me make this week a positive experience.
Although I did have some difficulty committing to the fast I did my best and had a wonderful experience.
The biggest breakthrough for me was finally taking on a big project that I'd been avoiding because I imagined it to be powder keg of emotion that I just wasn't ready to deal with. Going through the boxes I haven't touched (except to relocate) since I left my ex-husband over a year ago. There is the obvious emotional baggage and then there is the more symbolic baggage of the space these boxes were taking up. I've been saying for months that I wanted that space as an art studio for myself. I'm getting a lump in my throat now just thinking about how I continue to allow him and his condemning words to control my life in his absence. Wow!
To be honest, I didn't really take on this project so much as give myself permission to begin as slowly and gently as I needed. I also gave myself permission to feel all of the feelings this experience brought up for me. By yesterday I was embarking willingly, almost joyfully, albeit still still somewhat emotionally and the space is transforming before my eyes into a space just for me in every sense.
"Part-time juicing" has been a wonderful gift and I'm excited to see what comes up for me next month when I give myself the gift of "full-time" juicing.

First of all Happy Birthday!!! Be kind to yourself today. You've always got so much going on, helping others feel good about themselves. I'm grateful just knowing that you're out there, spreading the love.
I haven't been able to juice for the last few months. After going vegetarian and juicing, I started having seizures. My doctor didn't think my diet had anything to do with it, but it seemed like too much of a coincidence. I tried medication, but that made the seizures more frequent and worse. Three weeks ago, after checking my lab results from some bloodwork (which my doctor said looked good), I discovered that I have a B12 deficiency. I am taking B12 and feeling much better now. No seizures, just some dizzy spells and fatigue.
It's like a miracle cure. I still can't quite believe that such a simple and quick fix can have such a profound effect. For anyone who has a neurological problem, please research sublingual B12 (methlycobalamin). And don't trust your doctor. I love my doctors. We have a good relationship. But, ultimately, we are each responsible for our own health.
Sending you much love,

What caused the flash forward and what are the effects on individuals and societies? What does it mean for people like researcher Theo Procopides who had no vision at all or for the presidential candidate assured of defeat? Are the visions absolute? I love the way Sawyer humanizes this intriguing scenario and (unlike the television show) explains the phenomena and offers a satisfying conclusion.
Fans of thought-provoking science fiction will enjoy this memorable novel.

Loose ends
Oh man... today is one of those days that I'm finally facing a bunch of dreaded chores that I've been putting off for WAY too long. I think I'm finally getting at them because I've been stuck in this house for so long without much to do. Of course, I could be cleaning the bathroom or wiping down the cupboards and every other surface in this house that is covered in dust (at least the floor is vacuumed!). I have been working and out of the house but not much. There aren't that many hours available at this time of year, plus I don't have a second vehicle to get to work so I have to work around Dan's schedule. I've made 2 weeks worth of chili, dog treats, a terrible pasta salad and banana bread. The house is pretty clean (except for that dust and some clothes to put away) and the dog has had plenty of walks.... now what? So, I started finding a DJ for Cass's wedding and stag and doe. I'm looking into a long lost purchase of my mom's that she never received, I'm making arrangements for Bella's new home (Larissa's rabbit) and now... I guess there's nothing to do but my old chores that I don't want to do. Here's confession time: Dan and I still have stuff at our old place back in the country. Luckily we know the people there so we can go and claim our stuff but eventually they are just going to get rid of it themselves. We have an old car sitting in their driveway (what a waste!) and a spare tire for our Jetta in the garage. These are two things that we for sure should make sure we take care of. How does one go about getting rid of an old car? I know the tires are seized up and it's not worth fixing anymore. If I found someone with a trailer, and we somehow managed to get it on there, do we just drive to a wreckers and drop it off? I don't know!! I have NO experience here. I called the wreckers and they said I would get about $75 for it and they would pick it up.... would I get much more if I pulled in favours from friends and dropped it off ourselves? It's pretty humbling picking up the phone and calling the people that have lived with that car in their driveway for so long. I know they are nice people but I'm still quite embarrassed. And then, I made the dreaded call for a sit down with the bank. It's not really a bad meeting but we have to change our home branch now that we've moved out here. Really, it's not that bad but it's something that I've been putting off forever too. The only consolation that I have after all this is that I'm hoping it feels so good to get it all done. Next, I need to repair our only working car and get rid of the crunched up truck in OUR driveway (by the way, is that the right word? driveway?).

Well, the urgent care places were a flop (see comment to the first entry today, if you're confused). Even though my HR rep said it was a $35 copay, the places I could go to said that, because it was an accident, I have to pay for the whole thing and then get reimbursed by the auto insurance company. I tend to not carry that kind of money around with me. So, after lots of phone calls and driving around, I ended up at the ER! It took about an hour for a doctor to tell me I'm sore but nothing appears really damaged, hand me a piece of paper to be redeemed for a couple bottles of drugs, and tell me it's going to be worse tomorrow.
If I had known that getting a doctor to just have a look at me was going to be such a pain on top of the pain I already had, I would have gone to the ER on the way home this morning. I wish I had Kaiser Permanente like my parents; my dad talked to a live person, was transferred to another live person, and had an afternoon appointment scheduled all before 0900. We've both been prescribed pain killers and muscle relaxents, so whether work is in sight for the morning or not is debatable!
The lesson of the day: Don't waste time with your Primary Care Physician, they're not going to care about you when you really need them.

Buttons, Buttons, Everywhere!
OK, so how often do I get to post a hot guy on my Blog? Never, until now - you can thank me later! Shayna learned how to button a shirt today (well, about an hour ago). It was so awesome to see the look on her face when that little button came through the slot. She was soooo proud of herself and I was so happy to be there for this monumental event. All she wanted to do for the last hour was button things! I had to promise her that after she wakes up in the morning, she can button my shirt, just to get her to go to bed! It's so cool witnessing these small but large events which take place in our lives!

Deb, Tony wanted to drive it over tonight to share with Matt! Our boys :) Got to love them!
Lisa, if I didn't know you live at the beach I would think you were here tonight...Tony was singing that song while he was driving and I did sneak a video of it, but couldn't figure out how to post...so it is stuck in my lap top and I resorted to the playlist :)

Lady Thatch out for the day with Jimmy Saville.
After all this Thatcher state funeral business, I had a horrible feeling that she might have actually died and I hadn't noticed. Although I'm sure I would have noticed all the street parties.
Anyway, I went on Google to have a look to make sure. And I came across this:
"Over the next six months Manchester audiences will be treated to Mamma Mia direct from the West End, a musical based on the life of Ex PM Maggie Thatcher also they will get the chance to see Will Young make his UK stage debut."
It made me giggle at first, because it seems to imply the musical of Maggie is called Mamma Mia... But aside from that, I cannot believe they are actually making a musical of Maggie Thatcher. There's something very Spinal Tap about it.
I can't wait to see what songs are going to be in it... And I'm particularly looking forward to seeing Maggie's duet with Will Young as Arthur Scargill, or perhaps a love scene with Ronald Reagan.

Heh, my reaction to the "state funeral" headlines was similar to yours--"She's died?" Of course, living in Japan I wouldn't have the benefit of people dancing in the streets to confirm my suspicions... Do ex-pm's usually get state funerals (I don't think we do it in Canada)?

No, state funerals are usually reserved for royalty, I believe, with a few exceptions. I think Churchill had a state funeral. But I think Thatch is far too controversial a character. Wow, all this talk of Thatch, it's like being in the 80s again.

The week after Christmas brings a thaw which makes a grey slush of everything. During this time, Antonia and her mother come for a visit. It is the first time Mrs. Shimerda has visited the Burdens house and she rushes from room to room exclaiming over their fine things and commenting to Antonia in "an envious and complaining tone." She sees all of Mrs. Burdens pots in the kitchen and says "You got many, Shimerdas no got." Jim is disgusted with his grandmother for giving her a pot. She tells Mrs. Burden after dinner that if she had as much as Mrs. Burden, she would make better food. Jim thinks of her as a "conceited and boastful old thing, and even misfortune could not humble her." He is so annoyed that he is rude to Antonia. She tells him her father is doing very poorly. He misses the old country very much and is not happy here. Jim rudely replies that he shouldnt have come to this country if he didnt like it. Antonia tells him it was her mother who forced her father to emigrate to America. He tells her that her mother wants other peoples things. She replies that his grandfather is rich and should help her father. When Ambrosch became rich, he would repay everything. Jim is disgusted with the Shimerda familys habit of putting Ambrosch on a pedestal despite is gruff rudeness with them.
As he watches Antonia and her mother leaving, he tells his grandmother of his disgust for Mrs. Shimerda. She tells him it is her poverty that brings out her bad traits and that a woman becomes greedy when she sees her children in want. She tells him to get a book out and read it to her so they can forget the Bohemians.
After three weeks of mild weather, the cattle are getting restless in the corral. Two of the big bulls begin to butt each others heads until they inspire this in the steers. Otto has to ride out among them with a pitchfork prodding them until they back off from each other. Soon, theres a big storm. It begins on Jims eleventh birthday, January 20th. It is such a bad blizzard that they all must stay inside the house. It takes them so long to dig out of the house to get to the barn for feeding and watering the animals, that the day is over and they must begin their chores all over again.
Chapter thirteen brings another visit from the Shimerdas, this time Mrs. Shimerda and Antonia. Mrs. Burdens tolerant remark at Jims disgust at Mrs. Shimerda demonstrates her broad- mindedness: "You see, a body never knows what traits poverty might bring out in em." Despite this explicit message of the text, the general impression the reader gets of immigrants from Eastern Europe is not a flattering one. It seems that Ambrosch will end up succeeding, but more out of selfishness and meanness than perseverance and kindness. The most demonized of the immigrant family is the mother, Mrs. Shimerda, who Antonia says, forced her husband to immigrate to the U.S. so her eldest son could become rich and her daughters could find good husbands. The implicit message here seems to be that they would have been better off staying in their country.
On January 22nd, Jim wakes up to a house full of excited people. Mr. Shimerda has committed suicide. His grandmother tries to protect him from the details, but he hears the full story from Jake and Ottos account of their visit to the Shimerdas last night to help take care of the body. Otto says that Mr. Shimerdas last actions were very deliberate. After dinner he bathed, put on his clean shirt, took the hunting gun, and kissed his daughters. Then instead of going hunting, he went to the barn, lied down on the bed, and shot himself in the head. Jake thinks something else might have happened. He found an ax in the barn and held it up to the hole in Mr. Shimerdas head. When he did so, Krajiek became hysterical saying "Theyll hang me!" Otto and Grandmother dont believe its possible that it could have been murder. Otto says Mr. Shimerda wouldnt have been so deliberate in his actions to go out to the barn to be murdered.
Otto heads off to town to get the coroner from Black Hawk. Grandmother prepares food to take to the family. Jim notices that Ambrosch, who had returned with the men, is "slavishly devout." He prays over his rosary non-stop. When his grandparents leave, Jake thinks they look Biblical. Jake and Ambrosch follow them on horses. At that point, Jim realizes he is alone in the house and enjoys the feeling of responsibility it gives him. He loves the quiet. He tries to read "Robinson Crusoe" but finds if boring compared to his life. Then he realizes that Mr. Shimerda loved the house so much when he visited it last that his spirit has probably returned there to rest before it sets out on its journey across the ocean. Jim knows it is homesickness that killed Mr. Shimerda. He is not frightened by the thought that the spirit is in the house with him. He is very quiet so as not to disturb it. He begins to remember stories of their homeland that Antonia has told him. The images are so vivid that he wonders if they are Mr. Shimerdas memories.
At dusk, his grandparents return. They tell of how the Shimerdas are keeping vigil over the body. Jake says Ambrosch is very upset and is especially concerned about the priest getting there. Jake tells Jim about the Catholic doctrine of Purgatory, where souls go to live in torment until they can go to heaven. Jim says, "I almost know it isnt true," but he doesnt say that he spent the afternoon with the spirit of Mr. Shimerda. That night in bed he thinks of Purgatory and the account he has read in the Bible of Dives who was a rich man and tortured in Hell. Then he comforts himself with the thought that Mr. Shimerda was not rich and selfish and that he had only been "so unhappy that he could not live any longer."
Mr. Shimerdas suicide perhaps doesnt come as a shock to the reader. His sadness and homesickness have shown on his wasted appearance. His character remains consistent in the details of his death: his care in his appearance and his deliberateness of action. Jims boys perceptions carry the emotional weight of the chapter. Left at home alone, he imagines that Mr. Shimerdas spirit is resting in his grandparents house, the most pleasant place in the district, until it gathers enough strength to return home. His confusion at the Shimerdas belief that their father is in Purgatory for committing the sin of suicide only temporarily shakes his faith that Mr. Shimerda spent the afternoon with him in the empty house.

text: TeamSpeak is our public communicative chat between players and staff. There are many channels for you and your friends to talk on and have fun! It can be a great hassle typing so many words when playing with your friends. Remember that time your friend was going to die and you went to type, 'Watch out!' but you were too late and he died, leaving you to the gruesome beast? Oh ya, I sure do remember. But now with AncientRPG's TeamSpeak you can experience the server in an even better way possible. (1) First thing's first... download TeamSpeak! (If already downloaded onto your computer, skip to step 2.) Here is the link for their website http://www.teamspeak.com. Once you've clicked on the link you're going to press the bright orange FREE DOWNLOAD button, it's hard to miss but if you can't find it, it's on the black bar resting in the middle of the page. After downloading the installer you will be brought to a page where you select the correct installer for your computer type ex: Windows, Mac, OS X, Linux, Android, IOS... etc. After you click the black download bar across from your computer type, in your downloads should be the installer. After it is done downloading simply double click on that installer and follow the wizard set-up. (2) After downloading the TeamSpeak client, it will usually place a 'Shortcut' to the client so just double click and bam, It launches up! (3) After opening the launcher you're going to be shown a microphone setup wizard (If not read Sub-Step 3). Now as I have said above, if you do not have a WORKING microphone, simply read through the set-up to make sure you don't miss anything non-microphone related! DO NOT SKIP SET-UP WIZARD! (3.a) If you do not see the set-up wizard it will most likely pop up with the client but it'll say "Choose your nickname" with a blank bar below. If that happens press 'cancel' below the small box and on the top of TeamSpeak click settings>options>capture. Now you will see a Capture Device: Default box left click on the box and select your computer's, or store-bought, microphone. After, you can decide if you want Continuous Transmission where your voice and or any sound in the background that your microphone picks up, will sound through your microphone and play to all those in your channel. Voice Activation is when a sound in your microphone's range, ex. your voice or your mouse falling off of your desk, will trigger the transmission through your mic to all those in your current channel. There is also a PUSH TO TALK option where you press a hold a certain key to talk. After your edit to your wishes simply press APPLY and click OK. Bam! There is your microphone. (4) When the set-up wizard is complete you will finally be taken to the TeamSpeak 'Home Page.' To actually connect to the server, go up to the top left corner of the launcher, press CONNECTIONS and click CONNECT (5) It will now bring up the Connect window! In the bar under SERVER ADDRESS, you will want to manually type and or copy and paste the server address which is mc.ancientrpg.net Now under the tab NICKNAME place your desired nickname. Note: The server DOES NOT need a password! No need to put anything in the bar, just leave it blank. After you have done those steps, simply press connect! You will now be connected to the server! Now there are many channels to choose from, usually you and your friends would join an unoccupied channel! Now please DO NOT join the TeamSpeak unless you are speaking with someone. If you are talking to someone and need to go somewhere for a short while, scroll to the top and join the AFK channel. Otherwise there is no need for you to be on the TeamSpeak and eventually, someone with channel powers will probably kick you if you're in there too long AFK or doing nothing. NOTE: If you get a working microphone, later on, either read step 3 again or just go to OPTIONS look down to the left side until you find CAPTURE and edit the correct changes. That's about it, everyone! Hope this helped some of you all out. Now if you have any further questions and or suggestions about this Team Speak topic, comment below. Or if you wish to talk privately for whatever reason about it, just message me (Madi) on the forums or PM me on the server! (There have been recent edits to TeamSpeaks installer, I have edited this post to fit those new applications.) Have fun talking and playing! ~ Madi This post was made by Madi, a staff member on AncientRPG.net!

A sweet Christmas
I guess my friends -- and even my neighbours -- know what I like. And this doesn't include a stash that a colleague brought back from Italy -- a box of Italian Lindt and a thin bar of dark Tuscan chocolate packaged simply in anonymous brown paper but was outstandingly good, was never brought home, it was my supply at work.
I guess all this could last me till well into the New Year. Thanks, guys.

Contrary to what you may have heard, there is a thriving secondary timeshare market today. People are always in need of a vacation and always in search of a good deal. Here are five things you need to look out for to make this process as successful as possible.
1) Price your timeshare right. Despite what you may have been told by the timeshare salesperson or want to believe, the vast majority of timeshares do NOT hold their resale value, much less appreciate. There are exceptions of course. If you purchased a timeshare on Sanibel Island 15 years ago for $5,000, I have no doubt that you could double or triple that today. But most consumers looking to sell don't own on Sanibel Island.
General rule of thumb is to find out what similar timeshares are going for today from the developer and start out at 50% to 65% less than that. I know this is not what you want to hear, but it is the truth.
You also want to check what other people are listing similar timeshares for on the secondary market.
2) Understand what you have to sell. I'm continually astonished by just how little some timeshare owners know about their timeshare. You have to know if you own points (how many), or weeks (fixed or floating), every year or every other year and if the resort is affiliated with either RCI or Interval International.
Is the resort part of a smaller, internal exchange system? If so, what are the benefits of this internal system? What are the annual maintenance fees and do they include real estate taxes? Is the property deeded, or a right to use? All of these things are vitally important to marketing the timeshare. Interestingly enough, once some people do a little digging and find out what they own, they decide to keep it because they realize that they haven't been making the best use of it!
3) Call the resort that you own at to see if they would buy it back. This doesn't happen nearly as much as I think it should. I believe that all timeshare resorts should be helping their owner base out and at the very least offer owners a way out. However, some forward thinking resorts are doing just that and it is certainly worth a phone call to the Owner Services Department to find out.
Some resorts also have a "Right of First Refusal", so it makes sense to find out what they will accept and what they won't.
4) Understand and evaluate the fees involved. This is where it can start to get really tricky for frustrated timeshare owners. In most cases in the United States, timeshare falls under real estate law and in many states such as Florida; it is illegal to charge upfront fees for real estate.
However…nothing is free. You need to decide if the $22.95 advertising fee that your local paper will charge for a 3 line listing is going to get the "eyeballs" you really need to sell your timeshare. On the other hand, if a large online listing service charges you $500 but has 40,000 verifiable hits per day, that $500 may be a better deal that paying $22.95 every week for a year until someone eventually calls.
There are some real estate agents and brokers who handle timeshare. They will not charge anything up front, but you will have to pay them a commission, sometimes as much as 15%, upon sale. You should ask if they have experience in selling timeshare, as timeshare is vastly different from general real estate.
5) NEVER do business with someone who contacts you first. I left this tip for last as it is the most important thing I can leave you with. Unfortunately, there is a never-ending stream of unscrupulous (as best) and illegal (at worst) companies out there waiting to prey on you. They will fill your head with all sorts of mis-information, claim to have a buyer for your timeshare and all you have to do is send them a few hundred or thousands for closing costs. DON'T DO IT. No matter how good it sounds.
If you had a car that you were no longer using and you received a call from someone that you had never heard of/never contacted that said that they had a buyer for your car and all you needed to do was send them $3,500, would you fall for it? Of course not. So don't do it with a timeshare.

My emotions have been like weather in the Carolinas (aka always changing). I know some of you may start reading this and say 'ugh she's such a whiney hiney.' Yes I know that, but this blog is my outlet and helps me so much.
Not getting my number 1 choice for internships hurts. I feel as if I have been broken up with. What did I do wrong? Why does this happen to me? Everything was perfectly aligned for me to be in Charleston with many of my best friends and my sister at an amazing teaching hospital. Now, I'm still unsure of where I'll be because the program I matched to is all over SC and Charlotte. It's a ceaseless waiting game.
I feel like I did everything right this time around. Why do I feel like I never get what I really want when it really matters? I have to believe it's all in God's plan, but that's looking pretty darn hazy right now. I really regret not keeping in touch with my therapist. I feel like most people will just tell me to be happy and stop feeling sorry for myself. But I feel genuinely heart broken. I can't sleep because I'm stressing about where I'm going to live next year and what I did wrong to not get MUSC. I can't help but blame my perfectionism. I should be in the perfect internship in a perfect downtown house right by the hospital with the perfect roommates. Welp I know that perfect isn't a thing. But sometimes I have high hopes that I will get what my heart genuinely deeply desires, especially after how hard I have worked.
I'm hurt, and it's going to take time. On top of the hurt, I hate the unknown. I was sure come this past Sunday, I'd know where I'd be living, and I could at least plan the next phase of my life. Jokes on me. I have another 2 months before I know where I'll be placed. I like to plan so this situation is less than ideal. I'm sure come a few months from now, I will be happy and hating myself for being so disappointed right now. But it's life and I have to feel the emotions I am having rather than letting eda take over to hide those emotions.

In 2009 PZ Myers led a zerg of the creationist museum to kick off the Secular Student Alliance's Annual Leadership Conference. Jen McCreight attended the conference that year and provided a picture of the attendees.
The next year I attended as a student leader from the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster at Missouri State University. Lyz had asked me to give a talk about the growing phenomenon that Skepticon was becoming as well as our group's unorthodox style of activism. It was the second major talk of my life.
Jen was there as a speaker that year. I remember sweating at the thought of just trying not to look like I was outrageously out of my league being on the same stage as Jen. It was also at that conference that I first met Greta Christina. I read her blog daily and my father was a huge fan. I recall shooting the breeze with Greta and thinking I couldn't wait to call my dad and tell him about it.
Here is a picture of the crowd from that year.
It had certainly grown from 2009.
Six months after this picture was taken, in Jan. 2011, I was hired as the high school organizer for the SSA. That summer we had to switch locations for the SSA conference since it had grown too large for the rooms we had used the previous few years. The attendance that year looked like this.
It was that summer I met then-16 year-old Jessica Ahlquist, who was a year into her famous lawsuit. I was becoming a sought-after speaker at that point and was seeing a real spike on popularity as a blogger. It had all happened so quickly that I still very much felt like a student, even though I also felt like I was growing up.
This last weekend was our 2012 conference. Lots of new spaces. Lots of students giving their first big talks. Even more students who have started new conferences on their campuses based on the model we conceived with Skepticon.
Jessica was back as well.
She's 17 now and her lawsuit is over – she won. She is no longer the teen thrust into an impossible situation and flying by the seat of her pants. She carries herself differently than last year. Last year when I met her at the AHA national convention and at the SSA conference she seemed in awe of everything, but this year she was in command. Her hands were no longer nervously clasped at all times. A year of experience as a non-stop activist makes a difference. She's still as modest and down-to-earth as ever, but she was more confident, more comfortable.
It's a strange feeling after growing into a pro activist over the years, largely thanks to the SSA and their annual conference. It's a mix of gratitude and not wanting to admit anything has changed, even as you've watched everything change. Now, from 2012, it's a sense of pride as I see students like Jessica growing and changing as well as watching other students take those first steps. Some gave their first big talks. I wonder where it will take them in two years.
Here they were this weekend at a new location, having outgrown last year's venue again.
We've already been forced to start looking at new, bigger venues for 2013 as we will surely outgrow this one by then. How many will be in this picture next year? The year after that? A decade, now that we've hit the turning point?
Let there be no doubts: this is the future. We are winning in no other generation like we are winning in this one. These are the people who are going to change atheism over the next decade. You couldn't pay me enough to get me away from this job. I cannot put a price on the pride that comes with helping these students to reach their potential as activists and watching young atheism explode.
I wanted to show you these because I'm proud of them. I'm proud of the work I do. And, if you've ever donated anything to the SSA, you should be proud too. You contributed to this. You helped get one of these students to this conference. You helped a group run a conference.
We can't all do the ground work with student activism, but we can send them the means to do it (and to do it better). We can all invest in the future, and I know many of you already have. I hope seeing these images reminds you of just how dear an investment you've made, as well as the monumental returns you're seeing on it.
Thank you from me and from them.

text: Et tu, Harrison? Between you and McCartney and your sickening optimism I might just start feeling cheered up. This is really very cheerful and lovely, written when Harrison was newly married and awaiting the birth of his son. Unlike some, George Harrison is not the type to get schmaltzy just for the sake of it, so when he writes a gooey-eyed ode to love you know he's serious about it. Not to knock all the silly love songs out there, but some people reflexively use declarations of love as an easy topic that doesn't require a lot of thought. You could say that it kind of cheapens the sentiment, unless you're the type who's susceptible to even the most phony sentimentality. (I'm not making a dig at Paul McCartney here; he's nothing if not utterly sincere.) George Harrison didn't have any pretentious notions of himself as a poet, and his image as a very, very serious and constantly deep-thinking man isn't entirely accurate either. (Exhibit A; Eric Idle, lifelong friendship with.) Not everything he said or did was necessarily fraught with deep portent, but he was always sincere. Therefore, the reassurance that love will indeed come to everyone might sound like a big fat load of corn syrup coming from fluffier headed people, but I can accept it from George Harrison, because I feel assured that he meant it.

Shadows was John Cassavetes' directorial debut. The idea for the film grew out of an improvisation from a class he was teaching at his drama school, "The Cassavetes-Lane Drama Workshop." It involved a young African-American woman who was very light-skinned and dates a white man, and whose relationship leads to racial tension. Cassavetes was then promoting Edge of the City which he starred in as an actor on Jean Shepherd's radio show Night People, and he claimed that he could make a better film. He asked the listeners for funding and to his surprise they sent in $2,000 to start production. And with the help of other friends, including director William Wyler, Cassavetes began production on the film using actors from his workshop.
The film was shot without permits, an inexperienced crew and only an outline of a script that Cassavetes had prepared for the actors to work within. A year later in 1958 Cassavetes premiered the first version of the film during midnight screenings over three consecutive nights. Most of the 100 people who showed up each night to the 600 seat theatre did not like the film, with many walking out including Burt Lane who ran the acting workshop with Cassavetes and coached many of the actors in the film. This led Cassavetes to re-work the film. He created a script, changed the music and re-arranged scenes after extensive re-shoots. In all, the first-time director shot 30 hours of film, and after re-releasing Shadows in 1959, won the Critics Award at the Venice Film Festival.
Shadows became highly regarded because it reshaped what could be done in independent cinema as it embraced the Beat Generation it was depicting in the film as its own style, even in the funding of the project. John Cassavetes would go on to be one of the most highly regarded independent filmmakers of all time after his debut, and Shadows has inspired viewers and filmmakers alike for its artistic expression and ability to be made outside the traditional Hollywood studio system.

Livni Wins
Damn I'm good. As I have been saying on Gubu World for months now, the liberal wave that has swept America is also effecting Israel. I knew that the notoriously inaccurate Israeli polls had got it wrong when they declared that the Israeli electorate had taken a sharp swing to the right. While they are not quite sitting around the campfire singing "give peace a Chance" just yet, the strong Kadima performance is a definite indicator that the Israeli people favor negotiations with the Palestinians and ultimately a two state solution. If people would just listen to me I tell ya we'd have had peace donkeys years ago.
This result is good news for the Obama, Mitchell, Tony Blair peace plan as it is for all the sane people out there that understand that only a secure Israel and a viable Palestinian state is the way forward. Obama's pledge to put his weight behind the peace process in his first year in office clearly influenced the Israeli electorate here. They obviously did not want to see such an opportunity wasted by voting in a man who will never remove Jewish settlements from the west bank nor who is vehemently opposed to a Palestinian state. And with the Kadima party restoring its image during the recent Gaza war as a party that can keep Israel safe the people have decided to give them a chance.
However things are not quite sown up yet. The situation is as follows. Livni's Kadima party topped the poll by winning 28 of 120 seats in parliament. Netenyahu's Likud came second with 27. Throughout Israeli history the leader of the party that topped the poll has always become Prime Minister. The only way this will not happen now is if Netenyahu manages to form an unlikely coalition between Likud and labour and the Israel is our home party (remember the mad Moldovan bouncer) at the expense of Kadima. In any event the next government will have to be a coalition so we can expect to see some frantic haggling going on between now and the 42 days they have to form a government but it must be said its looking good for Livni.

To celebrate my birthday I listed 25 life lessons that I've learned through the years. These were impromptu since I am just taking a break from the power point presentation that I am doing for Cornerstone.
1. Our parents will never abandon us even if we feel like they are doing so.
2. Working while hungry will make irritable and unproductive.
3. Mind over matter.
4. A positive thought is equals positive vibes.
5. Prayer is the best weapon.
6. Life is a matter of perspective.

I got up this morning determined that Duncan's fever, my overtired self, my farrier search and more that I will have a good day. I leave thirty minutes early to take a friend to work and my car stalls. I have to go back to the house (3 miles took 20 minutes) get my gas guzzling truck and head back out, while fever-riddled boy cried.
I am still determined this will be a good day. I will it to be so...then I find I might have to take my new foster horse before the horse I am babysitting leaves and thus have FIVE where four works better.
It is STILL gonna be a better day?
