Dream of the Holiday Cruise
I was caught in a dream sequence, vivid in holiday colors. That changed me on the spot, thank God! I saw golds, reds, greens – holiday colors which were more brilliant than I had ever seen.
In the dream I was on a Holiday Cruise Ship and I was to be the main speaker for an event. As I walked around this ship, I noticed so many people were stationed around the food galleries… All were eating like they had never eaten before. All along the floor were beings looking like humans, but not quite, and I said, "Go in the name of Jesus," and they fled off the ship very fast; no one noticed.
I soon realized people of all ages were preparing for me to speak; they began to move to the space designated. I was moved by this, for even in my dream I knew I was not a well-known person.
A man of prominence walked near me and he began to ask me questions about the Eternal Realm. As I started to answer him, abruptly he turned and walked away and boarded another cruise ship. I went after him, when a hand of grace slipped into mine and held me back. The Presence I knew was with me… He gave me peace. I refrained from pursuing this man.
As I continued to explore the ship, I was filled with great excitement, for this was a Holiday Cruise, and I had always wanted to be on one.
I glanced toward the food stations and noticed many were leaving to take their seats in the space I was to speak in. On my way to the podium, I stopped by a small alcove, noticing old benches laid out like ancient churches in the west during the old tent days. Still with me, the Presence moved me on… I moved as if I was gliding.
As I was asked to take a seat, I was not aware that many were bringing me jewelry and placing it in my handbag and on me. Bracelets of ruby and emeralds, rings for my fingers, and black onyx put in my bag… I was puzzled by this.
One at a time people were bringing me their own jewels and placing them in my hands. Bangle bracelets that were so large they could fit my upper arms – some even bigger! I placed them in my handbag so no one would feel like they were slighted in any way.
"It Will Start During the Holiday Season"
As all of this was happening, the Presence that was near me was emanating such joy toward me; so much so, all I could do was smile at the people who started to be drawn to me. I felt the joy of the Lord that gives each man strength to endure the greatness of God and the trials of man at the same time!
The Presence nudged me; "Look up, Theresa," He said. I did, and I saw the most marvelous sight: I saw my own husband, Robert, coming near me with his shofar wrapped on his arm as if they were one; he was arrayed in a gold, red and green-striped tunic that was made of silk. The colors vivid, and yet they seemed to blend as one also.
I heard, "He is a symbol of a company of Josephs to emerge. These ones have been refined by Father God. Totally sold out to the shedding of blood and ready to embrace their land, these ones are about to emerge, Theresa." The Presence said, "Be prepared for the next phase. It will start during the holiday season. Rejoice, Theresa, this is what My sons and daughters have wept for." Tears fell down my cheek and I rested on His shoulder.
I was so blessed by the beauty of what I had seen that I almost didn't realize it was time to go toward the front to speak. I merged toward my position on the platform, still wanting to stay embraced in the joy I was feeling. As I did, I was so overtaken with the Presence of our Lord's love and I noticed a cloud move in and the people were drawn into His Holy Presence like I had never seen before. They began to enjoy joy like never before, and they all cherished the Spirit of Jesus in each other. It was truly a marvelous sight, like in Psalm 133, the Unity Psalm.
Then from nowhere a lady known in the below, who once had the supernatural gold fall on her, came near me. I was so happy to see her I felt I had to ask her, "Where is the glory?"
She answered, "So many people have faked it and I refuse to be a part of it." My heart broke with love for her. I said, "Dearly loved of the Lord, so many buy jewels and yet they still look for heavenly ones. Do not stop the Presence or feel you can deny it." She fell into my arms and wept like a baby. The room filled with the awe of God, and as I looked out, I saw that all the people were now dressed in white. They had somehow changed… the room filled with the fragrance of cedar and myrrh and the smell of baking bread. I knew this was to be a holiday season worth remembering. I began to be truly thankful. For I was not the speaker after all! He was. His Presence is EVERYTHING.
As I awoke from this dream I could still feel the woman's arms around me. I'm not positive, but it almost felt like my blouse was dampened with tears.
"Heavenly Glory…"
The room was filled with His Presence. Then I heard the voice of that Presence speak so clearly, "Theresa, I am about to show many of My sons and daughters during this holiday season they are worth a lot more than rubies and emeralds. I will cause them to shine like a faceted jewel. The Year of the Jewel will begin. I will begin to have My people shine. I am about to remove many demonic forces that have bound My people to things that are carnal (food stations)."
John 6:26-27 Jesus answered them and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him."
"I am about to release a heavenly glory on the earth, and many will walk away (the refined gentlemen that left the ship). Do not be hurt by them, I love them too."
1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit.
Fresh Dreams Will Be Released
"I am about to remind people of their dreams and visions. I am about to restore the dreamer, especially NOW. I am doing this NOW. I am revisiting the dreamer – fresh dreams to be released!
Genesis 30:22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
This Season Has Started!
"I am about to share the joys of the realms of the eternal to ALL who have an ear to hear in the below. I am about to pour out blessings where man can't hold them (the bracelets which did not fit my wrists but fit my upper arms).
"I will give to My house honor, grace and beauty, and favor (the beautiful ship). I am about to bring forth many who have been hidden (the ancient benches/faithful ones), and I will allow them to shine. Gold, ruby, and emerald stones, these stones will soon be sought after spiritually; they represent the sign of nobility. I will make a noble house, and a noble people will begin to emerge this holy days season, and it has already started," says the Lord. "This season has started!
"Now go tell My people to rejoice this season, for I am visiting them with surprises of hope (myrrh), endurance (gold), and substance (frankincense) like the visitors I had as a Child. I am sharing them with the world while you give thanks this season. Remember, I will never leave you or forsake you, My people," says the Almighty One (see Hebrews 13:5). "Always remember the poor and I will lift you up."
As I listened to this precious word, my spirit felt the urge to share with the reader about these symbols:
GOLD: Gold refers to kingship and heavenly foundation. Meaning splendor. Gold usually refers to WISDOM. Also, glory and holiness. Simply put, the spiritual meaning is very closely related to how we see fine gold today; it is a sign of wealth, rare, valuable, special, pure, refined, beautiful, durable, and does not corrode away. Heavenly realm.
RUBY: (Son of Jacob: Reuben) known as the "King of Gems." Rubies are lighter in weight and are a foundational stone in the breastplate (see references below). Rubies are number 6 on the wall of Heaven, called sardius (see Revelation 21:20). A gemstone meaning: the glory of God, splendor, brightness, magnificence and beauty.
References include: Exodus 28:17, 39:10; Proverbs 8:11, 31:10, Job 28:18, Ezekiel 28:13.
EMERALD: (Son of Jacob: Judah) In the second row of the breastplate; precious. A gemstone meaning: the glories of God and His saints, fresh, flourishing, essence of life, growth, integrity, new life, increase and prosperity.
The fourth son of Jacob was named Judah, which means "Praise" be to God. It's in the praise we will see many come forth from what seemed to be the ash heap.
"I will refine the speech of My people with praise. Many who felt that they could not BE for God will emerge and shine in a fresh outpouring of My glory," says the Lord.
Other references for this stone include: Exodus 28:18, 39:11; Ezekiel 27:16, 28:13; Revelation 4:3, 21:15-21.
ONYX: A stone for engraving, such as for a royal signet ring.
Note here about the names of the sons of Jacob: Onyx, which is black, stands for Joseph. Joseph was hidden until the appointed time. "NOW IS THE TIME," says the Lord. "COME FORTH JOSEPHS."
References include Genesis 2:12; Exodus 28:20; Job 28:16; Ezekiel 28:13.
Dear Jesus, I pray earnestly for Your people to behold the beauty of Your Presence and to allow themselves to receive this word. I pray in the Presence of the Almighty that You would grant freshness to each dream and vision. I ask You to continue to encourage and bless Your people in these times of trials. I ask that praise would remain on all our lips and we will see You move. Grant us, O Lord, ears to hear, eyes to see, and hands to reach out to those in need, and feet to move swiftly to run the race. I ask You to bless every reader and dreamer, IN Jesus' name, Amen.

I finally got around to seeing Children of Men last Saturday. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it, if you can stomach gritty violence and are willing to be led through a vast, emotionally disturbing landscape. But be forewarned: it's not everyone's cup of tea (nor is it a first date movie).When I exited the theatre, I found myself caught in an emotional tension between the despairing realities of the world I live in and my need for hope; certainly, I became more convicted than ever of how much this world needs a Saviour.
Though tinged with a shred of hope at the end, the film is absolutely heartbreaking to watch. Set in the not-too-distant future of 2027, the movie quickly introduces us to a world suffering from infertility–there hasn't been a human birth for 18 years. People are downright depressed by this drought of new life. Also, terrorism and violence are rampant; people are living in constant chaos, fear, and paranoia. The future is bleak; a suicide drug called "Quietus" has been developed and made readily accessible to anyone wanting terminal relief from their hellish existence.
But somewhere, amidst this hopelessness, is a miracle about to take place: a very pregnant woman about to give birth. As soon as we meet this woman, a social outcast, the film slips out of the sci-fi genre into a political action thriller. As I alluded earlier, the movie ends on a (faintly) hopeful note, but the odds of arriving there are daunting, keeping me on the edge of my seat.
I wept in certain parts of this film. In spite of the futuristic setting and extreme living conditions portrayed, the story and setting offered incredibly relevant and contemporary themes. I was struck by the fact that many people in the world ALREADY DO live in terror, chaos, and hopelessness. What keeps them going, I don't know.
Along with some other things going on in my head these days, the movie is part of opening a can of worms that is forcing me to confront how I contribute to the social injustices in the world. I am finding that everywhere I turn, there is no avoiding the fact that how well I live is irresponsibly costly or at the unjust expense of others. This realization is a despairing thought. But more on this on another day.

I just got home from our local TV station CAPS - They were filming a piece on our local Ventura College Community Education program where I teach my Canine College manners class. Each instructor for the Kaleidoscope Program was given the opportunity to be filmed doing an intro to their class, plus having students there, or doing some sort of demo. Well, you would think that after being born and raised in Hollywood, attending Hollywood High, taking drama classes while there, and working in the entertainment industry for 14 years I'd be able to stand in front of a camera and be completely comfortable AND talented! OMG NO WAY! It was a disaster...at least for me - in my own head...everyone else said I did fine...but oh brother, I'm not sure what was more painful - me going through the whole thing, or those having to watch me? It was like watching a dying animal at the side of the road...
Thank goodness I have some wonderful students! There were Carol and Rico, Lisa and Ferris, Danika and Sophie, and Emilia and Nellie! Lorrie my wonderful "web marketing therapist" was there too with all of her support and love, plus she helped direct - and supplied me with my designer water like all the real actresses out there! Anyway, the entire group helped hold my hand and made me look good! I say they were the real stars!
I'm thankful I was offered to do it! Karen Gorback the dean of the college program was kind enough to give me the opportunity, and I thank her for that - what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right?
The programs that our local Community College offers are so much fun and rewarding... I wish I had more time, maybe I'd take an acting or improv class... Until then I'll stick with helping humans and canines live harmoniously!

A recap:
Friday night we ventured down the Animas river with Zeus for an evening swim and then made homemade beef stroganoff and watched The Dilemma. Saturday was a kayaking event at Vallecito Creek*, and because there were other spectators I got to -put my life in danger by trekking down a scary cliff- watch from a rock high above the creek. Sunday involved a lovely afternoon nap and a giant slip-n-slide in the park and BBQ with friends.
Here's the evidence:
{Zeus loves rocks, he could search for the perfect one for hours}
{Cooling off}
Joe Dirt D & I}
{Hanging my toes off the 50+ foot cliff...vertigo ensued}
{Vallecito Creek...best 1 mile of boating in Colorado}
{Perspective on the size of the 'creek', an 8 ft kayaker below}
{Giant Slip-n-Slide!}
{D taking is first slide down}
My first trip down was with the girls:
And later, a train:
{personal videos from a friend}
We had such a good weekend, further proof of our awesome life. Now, those Save the Dates are in the back of my brain just calling out for addresses and stamps to be affixed...
*okay, just one wedding side note: Vallecito Creek is in fact the creek that feeds into Vallecito Lake; where our venue sits. I drove by our venue on my way to the creek and it was so gorgeous sitting there in all it's Colorado summertime glory. I couldn't help but think that we will be there gettin' married in six short months.

Like Job I have fussed and fumed,
cried and cursed,
felt forsaken and forgotten
By a God who watched silently
offering no words,
no sign of hearing.
Like David I must confess,
and point at me,
instead of You,
For it is not You who sinned
but me, only me,
my foolishness, not Yours.
Like Adam I can only claim
what is mine to claim,
choices and hurts,
Which warrant Your wrath,
instead, You choose
merciful forgiveness.

As a preview selection for Mirrodin, Promise of Power is an interesting choice. On the one hand, it makes for a reasonable comparison to several cards from the past; on the other, it showcases a powerful new mechanic.
The most basic application that we might make is between Promise of Power and the Constructed staple from Odyssey Block that it is ostensibly replacing: Skeletal Scrying.
To draw five cards, Skeletal Scrying will cost you six mana, whereas Promise of Power requires only five. Promise of Power is a better deal from the converted mana standpoint (holding their dual payments of five life as equal), but much of the incentive to playing Skeletal Scrying came from its being an instant. A monoblack control player could play a reasonably large Skeletal Scrying at the end of a control player's turn, forcing him to use a Counterspell. Forcing the tap of a couple of mana as well as pulling a Counterspell out of the opponent's hand would allow the black mage to force through hand destruction and a game-winning bomb on his own turn; if the control player let the Skeletal Scrying resolve, he might be in even worse shape. Promise of Power doesn't give players this kind of versatility, but on the other hand, these days, permission is a less relevant concern in Standard, and unlike a Skeletal Scrying for five, Promise of Power doesn't require a black mage to have several cards set up in his graveyard.
All of that being said, as a pure card drawer, Promise of Power is probably weaker overall than Skeletal Scrying. If all it did was draw cards, though, I don't know that this spell would be played in Constructed deck... but this card can do a lot more.
The next most obvious comparison to spells past is one contrasting this card's option of effects to the split cards of Invasion Block. Would anyone have run just Spite or just Malice when they had the opportunity to play any number of more mana efficient pure creature elimination spells or hard counters? Would anyone have chosen to Wax when they could have played Explosive Growth or Giant Growth? Perhaps Wane's mana cost would have made it a reasonable deal outside of being a split card... but probably not when compared to Erase. Yet decks from the Red Zone to PT Junk ran Wax/Wane as a necessary evil of enchantment destruction in a format with Saproling Burst... that could be used as a Giant Growth against non-Fires of Yavimaya decks. The versatility of split cards like Fire/Ice helped to define archetypes like u-r Trix in Extended, and helped Kai Budde win not one, but two Constructed Pro Tours. While the individual effects of these cards might not have been on the same level as some of the other options available, the fact that, as single cards, they were able to do so much at such reasonable costs, the split cards found homes in every sort of archetype from rebel beatdown to true control to "catch" combination kills.
With entwine, Promise of Power takes the split card mechanic to the next level.
Is this card on par with Skeletal Scrying head-to-head? It has some things going for it, but maybe not. Can Skeletal Scrying give you a 6/6 flyer for five mana? What about a 12/12?
The other side of Promise of Power is going to make this a Limited bomb. Black creatures – flyers especially – are notoriously difficult to deal with, and playing Promise of Power as a 3/3 for five is going to be fine... anything bigger is going to make it a nightmare for the opponent. This effect costs just one more mana than Maro (a fine Limited and Constructed spell himself), and attaches evasion to boot.
But what is really great is that you can do both.
I know that right now you are following along that a medium-to-large flyer for five mana is a decent deal, and are cozying up to the idea that you might be willing to spend five mana and five life for five cards, but to do both costs nine! Isn't that a little steep?
For the past couple of years, we have gotten used to paying two mana for a Wild Mongrel on turn two, and then sitting back to watch that guy rule the board. As recently as Onslaught Block, goblins have made themselves a powerful force, showcasing their speed in the face of the raw power and mana acceleration of competing strategies. Mirrodin as a whole takes us further from the fast beatdown model. Yes, aggressive creatures will still be viable (especially the red ones), but this block is going to allow players to accelerate their mana in ways reminiscent of Urza's Block. A few weeks from now, you might not be shying so far away from that nine mana in Constructed decks. Cabal Coffers,Temple of the False God, and Explosive Vegetation were but a prequel to the power mana block that is Mirrodin.
And to answer your question, the answer is yes. When paying the entwine on Promise of Power, you draw the cards first, and then you count the cards in your hand to determine the size of your flying demon creature.
I told you this promised to be a powerful spell.

Selecting Instructors for Industry Services. Self-Paced Instructional Module. Module Number V-A.
Simmons, Kenneth L.
One of 33 self-paced industry services leadership development (ISLD) modules, this module contains three sequential learning activities on selecting instructors for industry services. (The industry services program for which these materials were developed would involve provision of job training by public agencies for new or expanding private industry.) The first learning activity is designed to provide the learner (industry services leader) with the needed background information on teacher selection: Job description components, instructor responsibilities, sources of instructors (usually the client company), recruitment procedures, criteria for selection, and evaluation forms and devices. The second activity gives opportunity to apply the information in a practice situation, and the final check-out activity allows the learner to select an instructor for industry services in a real work situation, e.g., when employed or when serving as an intern learner. Feedback devices (a learner self-test and performance checklist) are included for use by the learner and instructor/supervisor to assess progress. Case study information, instructor selection worksheet, and sample interview report form are appended for guidance in performing the objectives. (Two of the other modules deal with other aspects of acquiring resources: Securing a training site and securing training equipment, tools, and supplies.) (JT)

As I sat in the coach that was transferring this handful of tired tourists to our ship at Luxor, I cried. They were tears of happiness. Alone, I had flown here to Egypt to finally visit the country that had fascinated me for years. But I had broken a promise to myself: 'To never visit Egypt until I can translate the hieroglyphs without the need for a guide'. A naïve promise made by a 17-year-old shop assistant. What could I possibly know about this ancient language?
Exactly ten years later and working in I.T. I had accepted that hieroglyphs were never going to be a part of my skill set, and booked my trip here. My travel buddy and I had parted ways months before, and my relationship had fallen apart not long after. The outlook was gloomy, but my mind still yearned to travel. I had only just mustered the courage to even visit the shops on my own; yet alone another country, but my options were limited and I didn't want to sit around at home waiting to meet someone.
Stepping off the plane, my body felt as though it were standing in front of an open oven door. The hot air rushed through and out of my nostrils, as if it might char me if I breathed too slowly. I was in awe; ecstatic to have found the courage, and excited by every tiny detail.
A first glimpse of ancient Egypt
The Colossi of Memnon were the first historical structures I saw, standing proud in their barren, dusty land. Locals passed them by as if they were merely bystanders to this game of life. Cars drove on, pedestrians passed without even a glance, yet I turned to stare; my eyes transfixed until I could focus on them no more. I wanted to clamber out. To explore, take photos and absorb it all. My senses were working overtime; tingling for every moment.
"Are you okay?" a fellow passenger whispered.
"I'm just," I mumbled softly as I rubbed my eyes, "I'm just so happy."
She looked at me with an expression of slight shock, perhaps not fully appreciating how one holiday could mean so much. It was not just a perfectly formed Kuoni tour; booked for the want of 'somewhere to go'. For me, this Nile cruise was a great laugh in the face of the depression that had consumed my childhood years. It was a solid stand against the pressure of having someone to travel with, and my first step towards the freedom of independence. I had craved the country for years, and somehow found the strength to turn up when I least expected to. It was dusty, it was stifling, and it was frightening. Yes, Egypt was more than I ever wanted it to be.
Drifting down the Nile
Our cruise ship was small, tidy and much more modest than those which parked alongside us each time we docked. It felt cosy and safe, and even with everyone sat out on the decks, it never once felt crowded. Passengers peered down on us from three floors up on the grand ships besides us, almost longing to escape their hustling and bustling quarters, to relax with us in our much calmer space.
The ten of us who had booked through Kuoni, and originated from the UK were grouped together for every tour, meal and meeting. In our spare time, we naturally sat together to gaze out on the banks of the Nile as we drifted along to our next destination. Subsequently, I never once felt alone and my depressive tendencies hadn't the chance to creep up on me.
Soup, kings and salesmen
Our first excursion was to the temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahri, otherwise known as 'hot chicken soup' by struggling English tourists. Our guide explained that she was one of the most famous female pharaohs, who often wore a fake beard as a symbol of power. Our group listened politely and with interest; asking questions to satiate their thirst for more, and it was then that I realised I was among like-minded friends. I had one ear on our Egyptologist, the other on the sounds around us. I was trying to capture every moment with my new digital camera, whilst reminding myself not to spend the whole week looking through a lens. Egypt was easy to photograph. The light was perfect, the history was rife, and the art surrounded us wherever we went. A photo of Hatshepsut captured her rosy cheeks, almost a reminder that despite her masculine appearance; it was a woman who reined here.
Parched, weary and hungry for more, we moved across to the Valley of the Kings, where we were given a choice of three tombs to visit. Naturally that of Tutankhamun was a must, despite already knowing that it was the most bare, and least impressive out of all the tombs. I split from the rest of the group with a husband and wife; Richard and Laxmi, who had decided to be adventurous and visit a tomb slightly away from the others, which meant a climb up a rickety wooden staircase. The reward was worth it: as the tourists were sparse and the walls rich with paintings and carvings in a simplistic style unlike any hieroglyphs I have ever seen.
After a Kodak-moment stop at the Colossi, we boarded our Nile cruise ship to a welcoming of cold flannels and biscuits. Some retired to their cabins for an afternoon nap, whilst the rest of us sunbathed on the top deck. We nipped into the cool plunge pool every half an hour, and spent the next ten minutes re-applying sun cream. The routine broke when we heard shouts from below. Like small lambs huddled against their mum for warmth, small rowboats clung to the side of our ship. It was Egypt's answer to the door-to-door salesman, selling everything from rugs, statues and jewellery, to water, Gallabeyas and belly-dancing gear. It seams the locals already knew that 'Egyptian night' was about to be thrust upon us, and had timed their sales pitch perfectly. Packages were launched up into the air, and items rained down on us like grenades. As fast as we could throw them back, the salesmen threw them up again. 'La Shukran' we shouted down to the hopefuls, rolling the garish top into a ball and aiming for the nearest boat, praying that their goods didn't end up in the water. Money was exchanged between one small boat and a German tourist on the other side of our ship, thrown back and forth via a dark red velvet pouch. The rest got wind that the other side was more eager to part with their money and quickly paddled around, leaving us to sink back into bliss.
'Egyptian night' on our ship became a chance for my elders to dress me up the most daring belly-dancing outfit they could find in the on-board shop. They rifled through the rails with excitement and joy, and my surrogate mum, Rita spent the afternoon with a sewing kit; adjusting the top so that it revealed a little less of me than we bargained for.
The Lego brick temple
Nearing Aswan, our visit to the Temple of Isis was dwarfed by the optional flight to Abu Simbel the following day. The Temple of Ramesses II is still by far the most awe-inspiring place I have ever visited. The precision by which it was built is impossible to comprehend when you think about just how long ago it was created. Not only that, but the fact that the construction of Aswan Dam meant that the temple had to be sliced into chunks and re-assembled on higher ground to save from being flooded, is simply incredible. Searching for seams in this giant Lego-brick temple, I simply cannot believe that this enormous structure has been moved. Abu Simbel is a sight that cannot be missed, and judging by the tales from those who opted for the cheaper coach journey, is worth paying a little extra for to travel by plane.
Lost in Luxor
With each cruise ship following basically the same itinerary, we were relieved to hear that our captain decided to mix things up a little. We visited the temples of Kom Ombo and Horus in an afternoon on our return towards Luxor, when it was a little quieter but also a little hotter. Only the strongest tourists braved the mid-day sun in the name of history, whilst others chose to melt into their deckchairs under the shade of carefully positioned awnings.
Karnak temple in Luxor became the only place where my partner-less trip became a worry, due to the fact that my sense of direction is appalling. The columns in Karnak are huge and plentiful, and as I wandered off to find the perfect photo, I became disoriented by the masses leaning over me. Every turn led to another pillar; each one wide and obscuring my view of the way out. My sense of reason started to diminish as I envisaged the cruise ship leaving without me (it didn't matter that Luxor was our last stop anyway). My pace quickened, and I near ran into our guide Hisham; who was slightly surprised to see me looking so anxious.
On this Nile cruise there were no last-day-of-holiday-blues where you lie around wondering what to do, and the week was a perfect mix of adventure, relaxation and photograph snapping. Most importantly, this trip taught me that I actually didn't need to travel with someone in order to have an amazing time, and as a bonus, I became a master of taking self-portraits from exactly one arm's length away.

In 2005, Rowan and Caroline realised something… menswear on the high street was becoming a bit bland. So they started something different, a menswear clothing boutique to battle against the cloning of men's fashion.
Rowan & Caroline knew that the future would be working with both well-known and new independent labels to keep Room 14 Menswear unique. Room 14 Menswear is packed with the kind of clothes that not only make you look, but feel great. It's not just the clothing that makes Room 14 Menswear special, the service we provide cannot be rivaled anywhere else.
Room 14 Menswear Menswear stocks individual, affordable garments from Religion, Fred Perry, Junk De Luxe and Bolangaro Trevor to name just a few. Great products and the shop's pretty cool too.

For my health, I am trying to eat the breads made with wild yeast. There are some "GREAT" bakeries around lake Kawaguchi.
1. BIO http://www17.ocn.ne.jp/~bio/
My favorite are these three... pain de campagne, basil&cheese, and fruits&nuts. And I love Mr. & Mrs. Ishimoto, the owner of this bakery!
2. La Boulangerie http://www.laboulangerie.jp/
My favorite are sweet Danish pastries and "fougasse"!!!! This fougasse is soooo delicious! These are not wild yeast breads, though..... Chiaki-chan, the owner, is a very cheerful and sweet girl. I sometimes go there just for chatting with her! Sorry to bother you, Chiaki-chan!

I had a little problem with my heart a few times and it was my own fault, I know. One morning I woke up and I felt a bad pain on my left shoulder, left side of the chest, upper part and my left palm a little bit. It gradually went away but then I went to a clinic. There a woman physician recommended me to go to an urgent care center. In there unlike usual, I didn't have to wait long. They took blood samples, did cardiology and other examinations. Everything was normal.
I was then introduced to a specialist and luckily I didn't have to wait very long there either. The first test there was an exercise on a treadmill. I wasn't expecting that to be tough but at one point my heart rate went up to 151 and it was a little bit scary! Even thinking of that know gives me chills! The green colour of display at the time turned red when the rate went up from 148 to 151! And then they did a type of Ultrasonic Test. Before all that another heart reading report was taken and I finally met the specialist. He said there was nothing to worry about and I have a healthy heart! He didn't recommend anything and only suggested to be relaxed! I don't know how I can be relaxed now that I have been kicked out of job for the past month but what can I do? I do job searching and I also am doing an online course. Wouldn't this be enough?

Chiang Fang-liang became known to the world as the first lady of the Republic of China, but she started life as Faina Ipat'evna Vakhreva in Yekaterinburg.
Fang-liang was orphaned at a young age and was then raised by her sister Anna. At the age of 16, as a member of the Soviet Union's Communist Youth League, Fang-liang began working for Chiang Ching-kuo at the Ural Heavy Machinery Plant.
Fang-liang and Ching-kuo married two years later, welcoming a son named Erik, or Hsiao-wen, in December 1935. Two more sons, Hsiao-wu and Hsiao-yung, and a daughter, Hsiao-chang, followed.
In 1936, Chiang was allowed to return to China following years of exile. There, the couple was welcomed by his father, Chiang Kai-shek, as they traveled to the Chiang family home in Kixou, Zhejiang. Fang-liang lived at the family home, learning the local Ningbo form of Wu Chinese.
After Ching-kuo was named president, Fang-liang did not take the traditional first lady role, instead staying out of the public spotlight.
Fang-liang died of respiratory and cardiac failure as a result of lung cancer at the age of 88 in the Taipei Veterans General Hospital.

"Bells & Whistles" is the phrase applied pejoratively to the US Presidential process. Anyone watching the final night of the Democrats' love-in at a Denver NFL stadium would have recognised its accuracy. US conventions are not conferences; they do not debate or decide policy. Instead it's all about spectacle & PR. There were the celebrities (Stevie Wonder, Sheryl Crowe, etc.) & the cheerleading, but anyone hoping for what passes for normal political debate would have been disappointed.
Having said that, Obama's speech was, by US standards, rather substantive. Details were sketched out on domestic & foreign policy & the liberal blogs lapped it up, particularly the Huffington Post (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ ).
So, too, did maverick film-maker Michael Moore (http://www.michaelmoore.com/ ), who declared for Obama earlier in the summer.
However, the headlong dash to acclaim The Candidate at what right-wing blogs wittily dubbed "Barackopolis" (were they Doric or Ionic columns?) attracted a dissenting voice in the form of Ralph Nader. Talking to the Guardian (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/aug/28/ralphnader.uselections2008 ), Nader fired off a couple of verbal bullets which clearly found their target:
"Obama 'keeps talking about change', Nader told guardian.co.uk. 'But when you look at his policies...is he for change when he wants a larger military budget?
"Is he for change when he doesn't challenge the hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies for corporations?'"
This was a point taken up by a blogger for the Firedoglake blog (http://www.firedoglake.com/ ) on a guardian .co.uk video piece by Oliver Burkeman (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/oliverburkemanblog/2008/aug/28/democrats2008.uselections2008 ).

♥ Buy links ♥
♥ Meet the Author ♥
Isabella Rae has been writing for over 10 years but never published because she was discouraged by the publishing process. Recently a friend of hers released a book through self-publishing and inspired Isabella to release her first book. When Isabella is not writing she is busy being a single mom to 2 beautiful girls, and works as a baker, and server at a local restaurant.
Isabella was born in Peachtree City, Georgia, a suburb south of Atlanta, where she still resides. Her love of reading inspired her to move into writing. She uses personal experiences with baking and life in general to inspire her work. As a unique touch to each of the books in her first series, she has chosen to include personal recipes to give it a personal touch.
♥ Author Interview ♥What was your inspiration for the Atlanta Affair series? Isabella: Well, I live just south of Atlanta, so for me, that was an obvious setting. Honestly my characters were the inspiration. All three main friends (Victoria, Sage, and Nick) are all inspired by people in my life. I created all the characters first and then let them create the stories. What is your writing inspiration? Isabella: I guess you could say that my daughters are the reason I write. I'm trying to make a better life for them. As far as for the books themselves I use personalities I encounter as well as fantasies to inspire me. How did you become a writer? Isabella: I actually started writing in High School. Over the years I started several different stories, but always put them down and forgot about them. I thought I would never be able to get them published so I didn't make them a priority. Recently I saw that Harper Sloan had released Axel. I went to high school with Harper and seeing her with a book out, inspired me to try again. She actually helped me a lot during this whole process. What words of wisdom would you give to those wanting to get into writing or just starting out? Isabella: Don't be afraid to ask for help. The indie author community is amazingly supportive. I still have so much to learn, but they are all so willing to help. I'm proud to be included in such an amazing group of people. Who is your favorite character from your book? Isabella: I honestly don't know if I can answer that. I like all of them for different things. I love that Leland is willing to do what's necessary to get what he wants. I love that Victoria is so self-aware. I really enjoy the friendship between Victoria and Sage, they fit together so well. Who is your favorite author? Isabella: That's a three way tie between Janet Evanovich, Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb, and Iris Johansen Do you have a genre that you want to get into next? Isabella: I'm pretty happy with the genre I am in now, but if I ever ventured into another one it would have to romantic suspense. Do you plan to start a new book or series (anything outside of your current work)? Isabella: Of course I plane to write more after my Atlanta Affair Series, but right now I am focused on "A Wedding Affair" the third book in my series, which will be Nick and Piper's story. There will be a total of five books in the series. What is your favorite color? Isabella: Turquoise What is your favorite food? Isabella: Potaotes What would you die without? Isabella: My daughters What is your favorite city you like to visit? Isabella: Out of the places I have been, probably New York What place do you dream to visit? Isabella: Ireland, I traced my family back to County Donegal Ireland and would love to go there. What do you do outside of writing? Isabella: I am a single mom, a server, and a baker. What are you currently working on? Isabella: "A Wedding Affair" and plans for an untitled stand alone novel. What's your favorite book? Isabella: Wow, I don't have an answer for this one. My favorite book always changes. I would say that whenever the new Janet Evanovich book comes out, I buy it! Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Isabella: In 10 years I hope to be writing still without having to worry about working a day job. I know most indie authors don't get that luxury, but I can dream! What is your favorite guilty pleasure? Isabella: Probably reality tv, I can't get enough of the drama. I hate drama in my own life, but give me the Real World/Road Rules Challenge and I'm hooked. What is one thing that no one really knows about you? Isabella: That I am still technically married. We've been separated for 3 years, and still trying to get the divorce. What's the best piece of advice you have been given? Isabella: "just be sure to realize you're dealing with men. Remember to think what would a man say or do in this situation, because me react and think very differently from women" from Ella Frank on writing my first m/m novel.

The next stop on our road trip was St. Louis, Missouri. We enjoyed the best firework display we have ever seen with our friends, Jerry, Gretchen, and their son, Noah on the 4th of July. Sawyer even stayed up past his bedtime to take in the display, which he seemed to enjoy.
Noah really loved playing, feeding, and doing anything else Sawyer needed during our stay.
We spent an afternoon at the Missouri Botanical Gardens, which was very enjoyable. Currently, the artist Niki has her mosaic scupltures throughout the gardens. Her work is organized into four themes: black heros, totems, animals, and nanas. Nanas is french slang for "babes" or "chicks". The nana sculptures were by far my favorite. Pictured below is Noah, Sawyer (sleeping comfortably in the stroller), and me in front of one of the nana fountain sculptures. If you're going to be in St. Louis while the sculptures are at the gardens, I recommend checking them out. The kids are also able to touch and climb on many of the statues, which makes the art great for kids to appreciate, too!
One of the highlights of our St. Louis stay for Minor was the Cardinal/Cub game he got to attend with Jerry and Noah. I'm sure Minor may devote an entire post to this event!
My sleeping boys! A few mornings we broke our sleeping in bed with us rule, so we could catch a couple more hours of sleep. They are just too cute!
Sawyer loved spending time with his Godparents, Jerry and Gretchen, in St. Louis. We are so lucky to have them in our life. Minor and I continue to be inspired by their strength and faith. They have had a difficult year with losing Caleb, but they continue to model the hope we have in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We love you guys and pray for you each day!
The final leg of the road trip required a few more tricks to keep Sawyer entertained during our drive. He loves to grab for anything he can reach and put it in his mouth. Come on, momma, let me have it for just a minute!
The last stop on the road was Edmond, Oklahoma to stay with our friends Amanda and Jared. During our stay Sawyer decided he could sit all by himself! Here he is showing off his sitting abilities and his new hat from some of our vacation shopping. I just love those big blue eyes!
Amanda and Jared have two boys, so Sawyer loved watching the "big" boys play and run around. He looked eager to get in on the action. Tyler (top picture) and Austin were really fascinated with Sawyer. But, I think Sawyer was just as fascinated with them, too!
We had such a great vacation with family and friends! It did feel great though to be sleeping in our own bed again. Our first night back, Sawyer just giggled and giggled in his crib when we put him to bed. I think he missed his bed, too! Life has been busy since our return a week and a half ago, so I'll have to put together another post of what we've been up to. All I can say is it's amazing what the Lord can do in a week...or even a day!
Every man who possibly can should force himself to a holiday of a full month in a year, whether he feels like taking it or not. ~William James

Last month, according to the US Department of Labor, approximately 660,000 individuals stopped looking for employment. They did not find jobs, each one must have reached some other arrangement. The whole situation enabled the DOL to report an unemployment rate of 10.0%, whereas if those 660,000 people had still been counted, the rate would have climbed to 10.4%. Of course, this gradual process of exclusion has been going on for quite some time.
I liken the current economic situation of the country to a passenger train going down the tracks. In the cars, there are a lot of people seated with tickets. Some of them read the paper, some of them sip their drinks, a few are engaged in quiet conversation. Occasionally they may look out the windows and enjoy the scenery going by – the backs of warehouses, the chain link fences with barbed and razor wire, the junk yards and bus lots. Because the tickets they bought say that they are going to Pittsburgh, and because that's where the same train went yesterday, and the day before, they all believe that they are going to Pittsburgh.
In the locomotive, the engineer and the fireman are the only ones who can look forward through the glass. They sit transfixed by the image of a washed-out bridge over the river ahead of them.
The conductor, back in one of the passenger cars, has been alerted to the situation. He, of course, and not the engineer, is the one empowered to make the decisions. He doesn't see the bridge. He does understand that the train has too much momentum, that even if the emergency brake is thrown and all the wheels locked, that the train would not stop in time to avert disaster. He sees no reason to throw the paying passengers out of their seats and into a panic. No benefit would incur. And so he has made the decision to carry on as if nothing is happening. He has told the engineer to do nothing and he himself has not alerted the passengers over the loudspeaker system.
On top of the train, riding in the wind, there happen to be an odd collection of fellows. They have arrived to where they are via hitchhiking, hoeboeing, or otherwise ostracized from the crowd below. They are the only ones on the whole train who can see the whole situation, all around, and feel the wind in their hair, the rapid speed, and see the black swirling water ahead under the bluff. If the train could be slowed down they could get off but now it is moving too fast for them, they are prisoners. If they could talk to the passengers below them, the passengers would not listen to them anyway because they are outcasts, vagabonds, who did not pay their way. And so the train continues on.
That's just how it is, and how it's going to be. Might as well enjoy the ride….

Failure to negotiate a bend, that is. Something has whacked this... this.. whatever this is hard enough to rip it out of the ground. It's been like this for days. Reported it to Council tonight.
Thousands of people walk, run and cycle past this spot every day. How many have bothered to report it until now? Zip. Zero. Zilch. A mess like this is always somebody else's problem.

Targeting GB Coach and Group Tours Business for Tipperary
Six tourism operators from around the island of Ireland – including Matthias Muller of Abbey Court Hotel in Nenagh – travelled to London to join Tourism Ireland for 'Excursions', an annual group travel show which attracts over 1,000 influential coach and group tour operators from around Great Britain.
Visitors to the show included coach tour operators and group travel organisers representing all types of clubs and associations around GB – who are responsible for putting in place arrangements for holidays and excursions overseas for groups. The one-day show provided an ideal opportunity for the participating Irish companies to network and do business face-to-face with decision-makers from the important coach and group travel sector; the
objective was to encourage them to introduce the island of Ireland to their programmes or brochures for 2013, or to extend the programmes in which Ireland already features. 'The Gathering Ireland 2013', and the many festivals and events taking place here in 2013, was a major focus at this year's Excursions.
Vanessa Markey, head of Tourism Ireland in Great Britain, said: "Great Britain is our largest and most important tourism market, delivering almost half of all our total overseas visitors. Tourism Ireland is rolling out the new 'GB Path to Growth' strategy, which aims to return this all-important market to sustained growth. We are targeting new groups that are receptive to the type of experience the island of Ireland can offer and raising awareness of the many things to see and do here – underpinned by a strong value message.
"Our presence at this year's Excursions was also a fantastic opportunity to highlight 'The Gathering Ireland 2013'. As well as directly targeting the Diaspora and those with a connection to Ireland, Tourism Ireland is also working closely with influential travel agents and tour operators, so that they will encourage their clients to come here this year to enjoy the many festivals and events of 'The Gathering'."
Tourism Ireland's new strategy in GB this year – called 'GB Path to Growth' – will see the number of British visitors to the island of Ireland increase by +20% i.e. an additional 200,000 holiday visitors per year by 2016.

As a general rule, anyone traveling to Croatia should keep their passports with them at all times. In addition, Croatia requires that your passport be valid for at least three (3) months beyond your departure date. Please make sure you have two (2) pages in your passport for the required country stamps.
All foreign citizens must register with the local police within 24 hours of arrival in Croatia. Failure to do so is considered a misdemeanor and could result in being fined. If you are staying in a hotel, your hotel will register you automatically.
Criminal Code
If you are arrested or detained in Croatia, it is in your best interest to make sure the police or jail notifies your corresponding embassy or consulate so that your home country is aware of your circumstances.
The Croatian Criminal Code is designed to guarantee that an innocent person isn't convicted. A person is innocent and no one may hold him culpable of a criminal offence until the culpability is established by a final judgment. Punishment or some other measure (fines) shall be imposed on the person who commits a criminal offence, under the conditions stipulated by law and in lawful proceedings before a Croatian court.
Traffic Accidents
Many travelers vacationing in Croatia will rent a car or otherwise travel by automobile. A few things to keep in mind while driving in Croatia are the Croatian traffic laws.
For example, a driver who violates traffic safety regulations and endangers the public in such a manner that causes an accident wherein another suffers serious bodily injury, or causes extensive material damage to another, shall be punished by imprisonment for six (6) months to five (5) years.
If the criminal driving offense is committed by negligence, the perpetrator shall be punished by a fine or by imprisonment not exceeding three (3) years.
If the death of one or more persons is caused by a traffic accident, the perpetrator shall be punished by imprisonment for one (1) to ten (10) years.
The use and possession of drugs differ from country to country. The law in Croatia states that whoever, without authorization, possesses substances or preparations which are by regulation proclaimed to be narcotic drugs in order to sell or circulate them in some other way shall be punished by imprisonment for one (1) to twelve (12) years.
Whoever, without authorization, manufactures, processes, sells or offers for sale or buys for the purpose of reselling, keeps, distributes or brokers the sale and purchase of, or, in some other way and without authorization, puts into circulation, substances or preparations which are by regulation proclaimed to be narcotic drugs shall be punished by imprisonment for three (3) to fifteen (15) years.

Sometimes when you write…it's a little like that famous scene from The Walking Dead's first episode. You know, where Rick Grimes sees the walker who is missing the bottom half of her body? Well, she's reaching for him, making the typical walker sound, and we're given a sense of desperation, hunger, despair, basically everything negative and nothing even remotely pleasant. Yeah, you probably don't just see it, you know it. We all do at sometime in our lives for different reasons. But the thing is, when you're writing, you're not Rick Grimes—you're not operating on a Ricktatorship. Nope, you're that walker who's barely cleaning to life, humanity and hope. Eventually you might…
8 TV Moments that Wrecked Me
As a writer, I think you feel things more deeply. It's probably the same for anyone in the arts. You dissect the TV, movies, books, music (literally everything) in your life because you feel like it's something you can use to fuel that craft. But then again, sometimes (most of the time) it's just for your viewing entertainment. For laughing. For ugly crying. For, again, everything. So check out my article of the 8 TV moments that wrecked me (don't they all?)

Three diesel tractors, converted to compressed natural gas (CNG), have been demonstrated on Saskatchewan farms. This paper presents the results of laboratory and field monitoring over a two year period. Dual-fuel conversion systems were installed on a John Deere 14440 tractor and on a White 2-180 tractor powered by a Caterpillar 3208 engine. A Deutz-Allis 7110 tractor came equipped to run on 100% CNG. The conversion system in the John Deere was mechanical with solid-state controls, the system in the White was microprocessor controlled, and the Deutz-Allis was equipped with spark ignition and a natural gas mixer. In addition, sufficient storage was installed on each tractor for field work over a 12-hour day. Performance results are presented for each tractor, including hours of operation, power output, thermal efficiency, percentage CNG substitution and fuel consumption. Problems encountered in the field are also discussed.

Thanks to Olga Quinn
When I was growing up I never dreamed I would live in a town as small as the one I live in now, Thrall, Texas. I grew up just outside of Atlanta, Georgia. I went away to college, fell in love, and married the love of my life who happened to come from Thrall. Well this city girl quickly got used to small town living. I miss a lot of conveniences that we had in the city, but I wouldn't give up the friends I have made here for anything. It seems like everyone that lives around us is part of one big family. That is not really the case, but it sure feels that way. We all try to look out for each other and help each other whenever we need it. We had some neighbors over for a cookout the other night. We were all cleaning up and somehow we started talking about Gexa electric rates Thrall. You never know what we will end up talking about. It turns out that everyone gets their electricity from them. I guess small town people stick together for everything.

I'm using LineageOS 15 Unofficial by tdukazudon (OpenGAPPs Nano and Magisk 14.5), initially it was very slow and laggy, it settle down now, working good, it's not as smooth as some custom Nougat builds. Anyone on AOSiP or any other Oreo ROM who also tried this LineageOS, please share your opinion, how you compare both ROMs?
To me Lineage OS 15 is the best because obviously its a Lineage OS ROM and no other can beat its performance and secondly because it doesn't compromise much at battery for performance . 2 and half hours SOT with the best performance u can get on the latest version of android. I think that's totally acceptable.
AOSiP 20171203 is very nice in terms of stability. However, the bluetooth bug currently exists in all Android Oreo ROMs including this one.
The bug that I'm talking about is basically where if you are on a call over bluetooth headsets, there will be a lot of noise in the background and you and the other person will hardly be able to hear each other.

ECU Green Zone training helps faculty, staff support military population
Nov. 16, 2015
By Crystal Baity
ECU News Services
A growing program at East Carolina University is giving faculty and staff a way to support student veterans and military service members on campus.
The initiative, Green Zone Training, gives people without military experience a glimpse into the lives of veterans and ways to help them succeed academically, adjust to the campus environment and transition to civilian employment.
"It's important for faculty and staff to know how to respond effectively," said Nicole Jablonski, a U.S. Navy veteran and director of ECU's Student Veteran Services, which leads the Green Zone initiative.
A focus of the two-hour training is a student panel of veterans who answer questions and share their views on a range of issues from deployment to transitioning from the military to ECU.
"When you go to boot camp, the goal is to break you down as a civilian and rebuild you as a military member," Jablonski said. "It's designed to change you as a person. It changes your mindset."
Military service members are team- and mission-driven, accustomed to accomplishing tasks in a highly structured environment. Fellow service men and women become family, according to Jablonski. After service, veterans – especially college students – are faced with many more decisions and can feel isolated.
"You no longer have a mission. It can be really alienating," Jablonski said. "You're faced with a whole new world and surrounded by a brand new culture. It's like moving to a foreign country."
Yet student veterans have a rich life experience that faculty want to capture in the classroom to share with other students.
Dr. Anna Froula, associate professor of film studies and faculty advisor for the student-led Pirate Veterans Organization, completed Green Zone training in September.
Her research in representations of service personnel in film and popular culture helped pique her interest in the training. "I believe civilians have a duty to understand as best we can the experiences of wars fought in our name," Froula said. "It was particularly helpful to hear the student veterans speak for themselves, and the video of what it is like to drive in Iraq has stuck with me."
ECU has an estimated 1,100 veterans enrolled and about 1,200 students are using the GI bill (some are dependents of military service members).
"We hope that having the Green Zone Training will ensure that ECU is as military friendly as possible," Jablonski said.
ECU faculty and staff who complete the training receive a Green Zone sticker to signify that their office is a "safe place" and they are knowledgeable about issues faced by student veterans.
"If more people can take this class and learn, it would be great," said Ashley Bonner, a U.S. Air Force veteran who served on the student veteran panel at a recent Green Zone training. Bonner was a medic who enrolled full time at ECU in January.
Participants are reminded to be a respectful but not intrusive when asking about military service. Some appropriate first questions could be 'Why did you join? What did you do in the service? Did you deploy?' "They let the veteran be the one to reveal to you what they feel comfortable with," Jablonski said. "Don't probe. Some people don't want to talk about it."
About 300 people have taken Green Zone training. The next session will be held at 1 p.m. Nov. 18 in Mendenhall Student Center, Room 221. Go to the ECU Student Veteran Services website for more information at

Bob Cesca points out what the media is missing when Bush speaks about Iraq - the giggling and immaturity that a leader should not possess.
"His uncomfortably ridiculous smirks and smiles illustrate his inadequacies as a leader: his fugacious attitude; his vacant stature; and, most strikingly, his apparent inability to grasp the reality of his decisions. It's all right there on the screen -- underlined by those tiny baby teeth."
