My Ten Best Movies for 2010
Reviewed by Shirrel Rhoades
As Frank Sinatra used to sing, "It was a very good year." Not a great year, but a very good year for movies. No knock-your-socks-off blockbusters like last year's "Avatar," but a number of notable films with very good performances.
Here are my picks among these goodies:
10. "The Town" – Ben Affleck returns to his Boston roots in this bank robbery picture that he wrote, directed, and stars in. A triple play that rejuvenated his career.
9. "The Fighter" – Boston-bred Mark Wahlberg gets the accents down pat, but Christian Bale has all the right punches in this boxing biopic.
8. "Get Low" – Robert Duvall is a crusty old mountaineer who plans his own funeral in this subtle comedy based on a true story.
7. "The Kids Are All Right" – Annette Bening and Julianne Moore star in this comedy about that nice lesbian couple next door. Key West's own Anne O'Shea executive produced it.
6. "Inception" – Christopher Nolan juggles dreams within dreams in this multilayered sci-fi thriller starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
5. "The King's Speech" – Colin Firth stutters his way to Oscar buzz as speech-impaired King George VI.
4. "Black Swan" – Natalie Portman dances into our minds in this dark psychological thriller.
3. "Winter's Bone" – Jennifer Lawrence is a backwoods girl in search of her missing dad in this hardscrabble tour de force.
2. "True Grit" – Jeff Bridges rides into Indian Territory as one-eyed Rooster Cogburn in this Coen Brothers' redo of the western classic.
1. "The Social Network" – David Fincher's film about Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, is actually a brilliant portrait of our technological age. And Jesse Eisenberg is a standout as the Harvard dropout who has 500 million friends … and a few enemies.
And here are a few Honorable Mentions:
Best Innovation: "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" – Michael Cera's geeky loser gets to be a hero in this Bizarro World romance. A messy blend of comic books, video games, and the Internet crammed into a film format.
Best Action Flick: "Salt" – Angelina Jolie kicks butt as a Russian spy out for revenge on her masters.
Best Comic Book Movie: "Kick-Ass" – Yes, I liked it better than "Iron Man 2." Sorry, my old pals at Marvel.
Best Crime Drama: "Animal Kingdom" – This Aussie gangster film is as violent as it is good.
Scariest Movie: "Paranormal Activity 2" – What you don't see is more frightening than monsters or slashers.
Best Documentary: "Exit Through the Gift Shop" – Tilda Swinton's boyfriend told me this was his favorite film of the year and that's good enough for me.
Best Foreign Film: "Never Let Me Go" – A Merchant Ivory style film with a sci-fi twist. What a combo!
Best Teen Comedy: "Easy A" – Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter": gets updated in this breezy laughfest. A star turn for Emma Stone.
Best Romantic Comedy: "Letters to Juliet" – Beautiful Italian countryside and Vanessa Redgrave romancing real-life hubby Franco Nero, what more could you want?
Best Road Trip Comedy: "Due Date" – Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis are oil and water in this unlikely buddy picture.
Funnier Than I Expected: "Dinner for Schmucks" – This remake of the French comedy made me laugh.
Best Social Satire: "The Joneses" – A marketing campaign was never so targeted.
Best Animation: "Toy Story 3" – It was the top grossing film of the year, so how do you say no to Buzz Lightyear and Woody?
Okay, you ask, where's "Twilight" and "Harry Potter" and "The Millennium Trilogy"? Where's "Despicable Me" and "Tangled" and "How to Train Your Dragon"? Where's Roman Polanski's "Ghost Writer" and Clint Eastwood's "Hereafter" and Danny Boyle's "127 Hours"? Where's Johnny Depp's "The Tourist" and George Clooney's "The American"? Where's Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" and Martin Scorsese's "Shutter Island"?
Hey, I only said it was a very good year. Everything can't be a winner.

Dr. Brand discusses the function of the sensory epithelium.
Dr. Brand:
The function of the sensory epithelium is to allow one to discriminate between gas, liquid, and solid wastes that need to pass. So a small amount of that material is allowed to come in contact with the sensory epithelium. You are then able to interpret whether it's solid, liquid or gas. That's combined with the environment you're in, and you can decide whether to hold it or release it.

Conjugal – Chapter V – Infrastructure of Martial Law
(These are excerpts of the Conjugal Dictatorship book by the late famous Filipino journalist and ill-fated Primitivo Mijares. A friend lent me this private collection of excerpts from the book condensation serialized in a daily newspaper in the Philippines in the late 1980s, after the Edsa Revolution. The widow of Mijares is a recently retired Regional Court Justice of Pasay City in 2010. She should be the rightful owner of the copyright of this book, but unfortunately she is unresponsive to my attempts to contact her. I could not locate also the children of Mijares. I could not locate also the original publisher, the Union Square Publishing of SF, CA, as it was dissolved as a corporation in 1994, per google-search. These are only excerpts and also not complete. But materials are enough for complete understanding about Martial Law regime of President Marcos as revealed by the Mijares, before he disappeared mysteriously during that regime.) (For private use Only. I can lend you other excerpts upon request.)
Marcos did not panic into dictatorship.
Weeks before Marcos rang the curtain down on democracy in the Philippines, the whiff of revolution was sharp and unmistakable. It was evident that the country was
on the verge of its biggest social upheaval. The pace was dizzying. And most everybody, from Marcos to the common street walkers, were "blaming Communists and their agents provocateur for every' rally, demonstration, or terror-bombing.
Few knew that Marcos had. been exploiting the unfolding revolutionary drama.
Marcos was well on his way to setting up the excuses to extend his term in office long enough to launch an imperial dynasty in the Philippines. He was doing it with a
fine Hitlerian hand that would make the burning of the German Reichstag the job of a piker.
The greatest infrastructure ever undertaken by Marcos was on. It was done behind the back of people who trusted him, people who rallied to him and who relied so much on him to bring to reality a dreamy campaign slogan that "This nation can be great again." It was treachery of the highest order, far outweighing the treacherous shooting of Julio Nalundasan.
But there were visible crowd-pleasing infrastructures, too. Ribbons of cemented highways and bridges spanning rivers and linking heretofore inaccessible areas to the
main arteries of commerce. Public works and "green revolution." All these were undertaken only to conceal the greatest personal and political infrastructure that Marcos had decided to set up for himself and his gang.
The beginning infrastructure for martial law was actually laid down by Marcos as early as the first day of his assumption of the Philippine presidency on December 30,
I may be guilty of hindsight now for hindsight can be so easy but I can see that the first concrete step taken by Marcos to steel himself for the declaration of martial law came when he decided to appoint himself as his own Secretary of National Defense
when he assumed the presidency for the first time.
And the conjugal dictatorship shaped up at about that time, too. Imelda had decided, after a few days of occupancy of Malacanang. that she and Ferdinand need not
give up the Palace after eight years. Thus, the "Blue Ladies" would get bored listening to Imelda talk about the enormous problems o! the country which no President can solve in eight years. With the familiar naughty wink of her right eye, she would wind up her
peroration by stating: "'We (a vague collective pronoun which could mean including the 'Blue Ladies') will stay here in Malacanang all our lives."
Thoughts of one day ruling as strong man under martial law were already in the mind of Ferdinand E. Marcos as early as his student days in the University of the Philippines.
Oral evidence on the thoughts of Marcos about martial law was provided to me boastfully in the manner of persons reveal the intimate secrets of demi-gods whose
confidence they want everybody to know they enjoy. They were Marcos' favorite classmates, Ambassador Roberto S. Benedicto, GSIS Board Vice Chairman Leonilo Ocampo and Agrarian Court Judge Felicisimo Ocampo. They were all Upsilonian fraternity brothers of Marcos.
The President himself did repeatedly explain to me that a martial law regime for the Philippines was virtually a lifetime ambition for him. He would talk about his youthful ambition for a strong-man ruler for the Philippines during his spare hours on
Saturdays, about noon time, and Sundays, after the six o'clock evening mass at the Malacanang reception hall. I sort of monopolized the time of the President during those hours. It was just inconceivable that any of the presidential assistants Clave, De
Vega and Tuvera – would abandon their own personal infrastructures on weekends to be
with the President.
I hid compelling reasons to see the President even on Saturdays and Sundays. I was a seven-day week newspaperman, I was working as a reporter-columnist for his
newspaper and doubling as his propagandist and media censor. I took advantage of his leisure moments to shoot the breeze with him; pick his mind, so to speak. I was duty-bound to compile enough story ideas and column materials for days in advance, not only for my newspaper but also for the other newspapers whose Malacanang beat reporters rely on me for presidential "news."
I am still puzzled up to this time though why Marcos really gave much of his time. During those Saturday and Sunday sessions, he would ask me what the people outside were thinking about. He wanted to know from me if the people really approved of the
state of things under a martial regime. It was during those talks that I would act out my role as a "Devil's Advocate." He would also talk about future plans of the regime in jig-saw pieces, not in their entirety. He would put his ideas across in various ways. He
would ask questions, or talk about ways of dealing with people who still oppose the martial regime, or declare the necessity of doing certain things In those sessions, the
President would make me feel that he was intentionally making a gesture of making me bask in the reflected glory of the dictatorship, or that history was calling upon him to make a truthful account of his stewardship of the nation through a man of his confidence like me.
Although I discovered so much out of my closeness to the President, it has exacted a toll on my family life. The heavier toll came, of course, during my last departure for the United States on an official mission for the Marcos regime. The trip led to my defection and forced separation from my family. I used to have spats with my wife over my absence from the house when I have to be with the President on Saturdays and Sundays, the only
days of the week, she would argue, when she and I could both be with the Children. I could not have told her then that I was being driven by an irresistible urge of history to pick the mind of Marcos – even spy on him or pry into his secret files as I did – in order that I can reveal to posterity the full and unexpurgated story of the perfidy that Marcos had foisted on the Filipino people. I myself realize this only now.
During those weekend sessions I had with him, the President would talk on any number of things, including the ambitions and incompetence of most of his Cabinet members, or the rapacity of the husband-wife team of Juan Tuvera and Kerima who want to be bigger newspaper oligarchs than either Benedicto or Kokoy. Almost always, his favorite topic though would be the supposed historical, and legal basis of the
regime of martial law he had established in the country. Then UP senior law student Marcos, according to the President's own account to me, wrote a legal thesis to comply with the requisites for graduation on the wisdom and necessity of a regime of "consti-
tutional authoritarianism" to husband the economic and political development of the Philippines. He wrote that a "strong man" President was what the Commonwealth needed. Although he harped on the theme of "constitutional authoritarianism" in his
legal thesis, Marcos recalled, what he actually had in mind as a student was exactly what he had established as a New Society in the Philippines. He wished then – as he had realized with martial law — a military dictatorship, with the military kept subordinate to a civilian President calling the shots all the way.
"I know what's on your mind, Tibo," he smiled at me as I knitted my eyebrows and prepared to say something about a military dictatorship. "I will never share powers with a military junta. It will be worse than sharing the powers of government with a Con gum"
All these were undertaken only to conceal the greatest personal and political
infrastructure that Marcos had decided to set up for himself and his gang.
Marcos correctly guessed what was on my mind, I had another thought coming up. However, I dared not betray it. It would have been impudent of me to have stated that lie would be further diluting his powers to share them with the martial leaders since martial law has compelled him to put up a conjugal dictatorship with Imelda.
The Idea of a meddling wife being allowed to rule jointly with Marcos in Malacanang was not yet in the consciousness of law student Ferdinand when he out-
lined his "constitutional authoritarianism" regime in his legal thesis. His UP classmates. especially Benedicto and Noning Ocampo, recalled that Marcos actually subconsciously conditioned himself for the eventuality that a woman would one day share whatever political powers he might have.
Young Ferdinand eyed for conquest at the time another U.P. student, beauteous Ma. Aurora Quezon, eldest daughter of then President Manuel Luis Quezon. The tune that Marcos whistled to his classmates was that, to get to the pinnacle of power politics in the Philippines, which was his ambition, he has to marry the daughter of a politically-powerful man.
It was not only Baby Quezon that young Marcos had eyed. There is also voluptuous Carmen Ortega by whom Marcos now has children. Carmen belonged to the politically powerful clan of the Ortegas in La Union; a bona fide member, not just a poor
relation. Marcos really aspired that early and intended to employ cunning and deceit to be his country's dictator one day.
The actual planning for martial law started when Marcos became President. Although Marcos had dreamed of the authoritarian rule early enough, he was understandably in no position to do anything until he could assume the No. 1 position within the gift of the Filipino people. Before he could make it to Malacanang, however, Marcos had had to hurdle two major obstacles, among others, from the direction
of two Visayan personalities, namely, Manila Mayor Arsenio H. Lacson and then Senate President Pro Tempore Fernando Lopez. On both occasions, it was Imelda who saved the day for Marcos.
The Lacson hurdle cropped up in 1957. The colorful Manila mayor notified Nacionalista party leaders that he had compiled a "dossier" on Marcos which should
help the NP candidate. Dr. Jose Peralta, defeat Marcos in the upcoming elections. Ferdinand was then up for reelection to his third term in the House of Representatives. Lacson was sore at Marcos because the latter had propositioned him into putting up
a Lacson-Marcos team for the presidential elections that year. The mayor also had not forgotten that Marcos had married Imelda. Somehow friends of Marcos in the NP tipped off the Ilocano congressman on the Lacson dossier, which reportedly had been prepared with the legal expertise of a prominent lawyer named Jose W. Diokno. Not unlikely as one of the Marcos tipsters was Speaker Pro Tempore Daniel Z. Romualdez, a first cousin of Imelda.
The first impulse of Marcos was to have it out with Lacson, obviously thinking that Manila was Ilocos Norte where the law of the gun was supreme. He thought perhaps that this time he could settle an old score with the Visayan. Lacson had earlier beaten Marcos black and blue in a fisticuff while both were working as assistants in the law office of
Don Vicente Francisco. However, Imelda pleaded with her husband to abandon his own plans of dealing with Lacson. She had her own way of neutralizing the Manila Mayor. Not long afterwards, a beaming Mayor Lacson told City Hall newsmen, including myself, that there will be no bombshell against Marcos; Imelda had talked him out of it. Instead,
he would stand as godfather for the Marcoses' first born, daughter Imee.
The second obstacle came shortly after Marcos had clinched the NP presidential nomination in November, 1964. Marcos and Imelda decided that Fernando Lopez was the "best choice" for the vice presidential nomination. Lopez belonged to the NP "old
guards," and his becoming Marcos' running mate would firm up the support of the Lopez economic-political bloc headed by Don Eugenio Lopez, Sr.
But Lopez had made a pledge earlier that if he lost the NP presidential nomination, he would say goodbye to politics. "No, no." Lopez declared to two emissaries dispatched by Marcos – Speaker Jose B. Laurel. Jr. and former President Carlos P. Garcia. He said he was quitting, period.
Marcos wracked his brains. On the threshold of victory, he would not allow any further obstacle. No price was too great to pay to have "Toto" Nanding in his ticket. Yes.
the natural choice was Imelda. She could use her wiles. summon her tears, in talking to Lopez, which she did when the old Politico went up to her suite at the Manila Hotel on November 17, 1964, instead of allowing Imelda to call on him to beg for the acceptance by Fernando of the vice presidential slot.
Just as Watergate was peanuts compared to the Marcos-espoused Philippine scandal so was the Segretti operations a child's plaything compared to the measures
undertaken by Marcos to subvert the political process ever since he captured the Philippine presidency.

According to court documents, Arrant helped Radel buy duct tape and gloves on Saturday to be used in the crime. He allegedly dropped Radel off near Waterman's home in Craig, where shortly after midnight, Radel kidnapped the woman, forced her into her own minivan and killed her with a blunt object, according to Alaska State Trooper Robert Claus.The two 24-year old guys, James Allen Arrant and Brian James Radel, were accomplices. All three are charged with first-degree murder. The guys kidnapped the mom, bound her with duct tape, killed her with a blunt object, drove her minivan to the dead end of a logging road with her in the back, doused everything in gasoline, and then set it all on fire. The father reported her missing when he came back from a meeting in Juneau. Rachel was at a volleyball tournament in Anchorage. The boys knew the mom would be alone because Rachel told them.
According to her journal entry here, she wasn't the only one in her school who made the news. Exactly what kind of darkness is looming in Craig?
And as if this entry wasn't prophetic? Weapon of choice: Flamethrower. Interesting. Homocidal insanity level: 58%? Well, I guess she did share the homocide with two others making her percentage of involvement close to half. I wonder if she'll really spend 19 years in jail? Hmmm.
This is pretty insightful.
And she said "violent people suck".
If you read this entry, go to this website to see where her words came from.
And don't think for a minute that she never went to church.
Reading her journal, I learned that she was a Senior in high school, taking Calculus, accepted in Honor Choir, trying out for a play, and involved on the high school Volleyball team. I read this entry and it only says about a total of 3 lines, but so much was said and done that wasn't seen. One can only wonder if her mom truly tossed her out... or if she said, "Get out of this house!" (or something to that effect) in complete frustration (the joys of being a parent) and Rachel was so ready to go because of some rebellious streak or because she felt like her mom didn't love her and she just chose to leave on her own. Then when her mom found out where she was actually staying (which she had to have called around or searched for her - which shows she cared, whether or not someone wants to admit that)...she probably "freaked out" because she realized that Rachel would really leave. Not because she thought Rachel would tell someone. In a town of 1200 people, you pretty much know everyone. Especially, if there is only one major grocery store and high school in the area. Not much remains hidden. Flying down the stairs... was she hit and then lost balance and fell down the stairs? Was she literally thrown down the stairs? All we get to hear is her part. Her mother would probably tell a different story. That's usually how it works.
I wanted a pentogram on the upper butt cheek (hidden so say my mother doesn't see it) and it's almsot done. I ahve a star on m ybutt, I jsut need the circle. I ahve to find a big paper clip or somethign and bend it in a circle to get it all done at once. For the star at first it was bit by bit then the person got smart and went like half side at a time. that sucked massively, especially at first. Thoguh it only hurts for hte first instance, then it's just...wierd feeling. But yes I now have a burned star in my butt, when it's compeltely finished I might take a pic and put it up here, I won't show my ass the just the pentogram.Her parents found wicca books, she has a screen name of "Satan's Mistress", her picture for her Live Journal is of a BDSM female figure, and she got a pentagram on her butt. I think this explains clearly her fascination with darkness. I bet she had no clue what it would lead to in the end. But that's what happens when you play with the wrong spiritual things. A clip from what I said before:
Wiccans are looking for a spiritual guide. They're just looking in the wrong place. It's natural to be interested in the spirit world. We're 1/3rd spirit. But it's just a matter of being interested in the right kind of Spirit. There are too many that will damage our lives.

They are easier to detect after the fact. They are uncanny encounters, brushes with the supernatural, where the presence of the Lover accompanies us in a very real way, sheltering, directing, loving, moving, giving life to our everyday existence. You can't totally explain the experience, but you leave shaken to the very depths, knowing that you have been kissed by the Divine.

animal fun and art day at the beach
ACH! I totally need to catch up here. It's been a while since I posted, but it seems with summer, there is so much fun to have, who wants to sit at the computer? We've been pretty much running since school let out. That's not to say there hasn't been down time. I've managed to read a few books and get out in a canoe and for swimming.
This week it's swim lessons at Katepwa beach. I took a cue from a parent in Ivan's class and used BRIBERY to ensure a successful venture. So far it has worked wonderfully. Dominique didn't need any incentive. She's been begging for lessons in the lake for months. However, Ivan is not as fond of the water and hates the temps. Fortunately for us, it was blazing hot today (nearly 100, for my Texan friends- which is totally hot for here). Brian's coworkers were complaining about the heat as they did a roof and wondered how he could stand it and he told them it was actually pretty nice- I mean there was a breeze even! And there was. I loved it. There were some nice waves and we soaked up the heat.
So I'm hoping that the other days will go as well and that we won't get a cool snap or stormy day and that they will pass this year! They are repeating last year's level since they stood there shivering last year instead of doing what the teacher asked!
Unfortunately the girls have a touch of a cold, but that has not slowed down Dominique- about to turn 6 this week, super excited middle child. Emora has been a cranky pants, but she has been for about the last 3 months. Don't know what her deal is. I guess adjusting to age 3 is kind of tough. She's not a baby, but not a big girl either and will never be at her siblings' level, although she wants to be right in their. Ah, life can be tough at times!
These pictures are a bit old. Maybe a couple of months. The cat has grown since these.
My cousin get some baby chicks, so the girls and I got to go meet them one day. That was a new experience and so exciting.
Of course, if there are not cute little chicks, the girls can always find someone to play with. Sunshine is quite kind to them to let them treat him like this.
The girls wanted to be twins this day with their hair. We went to the beach (when it was still way too cold to swim in) and did some painting and playing at the park.
It's so sweet when Dominique and I get to paint together. She likes to imitate what I design, which I'm guessing is the best way to learn. I wish she had someone more talented than me to imitate. I just diddle around for fun with cards. But she doesn't seem to mind.
I'm glad for the excuse of lessons to be at the beach everyday- especially now that the water is warmer! ;)

You are very talented. Look at all those clocks you made and all the wonderful cards and what not.
If you want her to have some different inspiration: maybe an art book from the library (impressionist - soft and warm, expressionist - hard and chaotic, etc.) could give her some ideas.

A blog almost entirely dedicated to zombies? At first glance, I'm sure this may look obsessive, reminiscent of Twilight diehards even. To anyone making the comparison, WE FART IN YOUR GENERAL DIRECTION. The vampire genre has probably been around since the invention of motion pictures. However, they've been romanticized, satirized, and even portrayed as pop culture icons as of late. It seems chic to even be affiliated with anything involving vampires.
We're not about that. A parallel E and I have drawn with zombies and "real life," is that zombies represent an imposing, immovable, and all too terrifying apocalypse that signifies the end of the world as we know it. These sentiments were first echoed by Max Brooks. As with an apocalypse, a zombies cannot be bargained with. Zombies cannot be deterred. You cannot instill fear in zombies. The only driving force behind zombies is hunger. This hunger does not subside even with the extermination of mankind.
See what what we're getting at?
Zombies to us represent the inevitable fact that some how, some way, humans will be dealt a serious blow and may not be able to rebound. At that point, we're at our lowest common denominator. Those with little to no basic survival skills might be the first to bite the proverbial dust. If possible, we'd like to help that. And that starts with readers of this blog. So sit back and enjoy.
And now, some words from E:
Hello everyone. Welcome to our site.
So please visit again soon for updated content. Thanks!

After a game played by SSC Napoli against Steaua Bucharest, in Romania, the Italian team find out they have a sister team in this country. Universitatea Craiova has the same colors as Napoli. Craiova is also in south of Romania and their fans are also really crazy.
Universitatea Craiova used to play a lot of games in Europa in the 80's. In 1979, after a match played in Craiova, Universitatea Craiova - Leeds United 2-0, the Italian referee of the game, Gianluca Menegalli, declared: "Here is like in Naples". He was talking about the fans and the atmosphere in the stadium. Cristiano Bergodi and Wlater Zenga, both Italian coaches who used to train Romanian football teams, confirmed this resemblance.
At the game played 2 weeks ago, Steaua Bucharest - SSC Napoli 3-3, there were many Universitatea Craiova's fans who supported the Italian team. This gesture was granted by thanks in Napoli's fans forum. After 3 days, Universitatea Craiova played against Cluj and the ultras of Craiova used to sing and applause Napoli's result against Steaua. That's real friendship!Link

Significant primary elections will be conducted on Tuesday, May 18 in Pennsylvania and several other states across the Union.
At stake in the Keystone State are party nominations for the offices of Governor, Lieutenant Governor, United States Senator and all of Pennsylvania's U.S. Representatives, as well as half of its State Senate seats and all of its seats in the House of Representatives. In addition, in some municipalities, such as my city of Reading, there are referenda on the ballot.
A number of closely-watched primaries for both major political parties are also being held for U.S. Senate in other states, among other contests.
These primary elections in Pennsylvania and other states, like many that are being held this year throughout the United States, are significant not only because of the importance of the offices for which the parties are nominating candidates, but also, in some cases, because of the contrasts in ideology. A number of incumbents are facing stiff challenges, while there are also many contests for the nomination for open seats. Moderately liberal Democrats are being challenged by far-left wing candidates while conservative Republicans are being challenged by more strongly conservative candidates or by libertarians/isolationists trying to capitalize on the conservative momentum by portraying themselves as conservative and everyone else as equally leftist.
These contested primary elections have generated much interest and enthusiasm and provided voters with the opportunities to chose between sharply-contrasted candidates. Electors this year will have little reason to complain about the lack of choices in the General Election, as the primaries are providing them an abundance of choice. Remember to vote!

Linear Lineament System (Venus)
Linear set of graben, fissures, and related fractures of tectonic (extensional) or magmatic (underlying dikes) origin.
A type of lineament system (Venus)
A system of graben, fissures, and related fractures in linear (straight subparallel) systems that often occur in crosscutting sets. They can be traced for hundreds of kilometers up to perhaps 3,000 km or more (Ernst et al. 2003). Some may be linear on a local scale but actually belong to regional radiating systems (cf. Grosfils and Head 1994; Ernst et al. 2003; Hansen and Olive 2010). Linear lineament systems may be underlain by dikes or have a purely tectonic (extensional) origin.
Potential subtypes can be distinguished based on local characteristics or regional context.
Subtypes Regarding Local Characteristics
Subtypes can be distinguished on the basis of density of fracturing. For instance, the map unit "fracture belts"...

A comfortable running shoe is one which fits, but finding the right one is not as easy as it sounds. It is worth spending some time analysing your running style in order to find a pair of shoes that are perfect for you.
Where do you run?
Do you prefer running on a purpose-built track, the road or perhaps along a forest trail? All these surfaces require a
different kind of shoe.
Pronation type
Pronation is the term used for the way your foot rolls when you walk and run. It is essential you know your pronation
type before you purchase any shoes, this is because every shoe on the market is different. You can find out what your
pronation type is by getting an expert gait analysis, many specialist running retail stores will offer this service.
It sounds obvious, but make sure you try your shoes on with running socks. There is a wide range available and socks
specifically designed for running will vastly improve the feeling of comfort and support inside the shoe.
A pair of running shoes are an investment for your health, fitness and wellbeing, so make sure you have taken the time
to research the perfect pair for you.

Largest study on cellphones, cancer finds no link
LONDON - Danish researchers can offer some reassurance if you're concerned about your cellphone: Don't worry. Your device is probably safe.
The biggest study ever into the possible connection between cellphones and cancer found no evidence of any link, suggesting that billions of people who are rarely more than a few inches from their phones have no special health concerns.
The Danish study of more than 350,000 people concluded there was no difference in cancer rates between people who had used a cellphone for about a decade and those who did not.
Different radiation type
Last year, a separate large study found no clear connection between cellphones and cancer. But it showed a hint of a possible association between very heavy phone use and glioma, a rare but often deadly form of brain tumor. However, there were not enough heavy users to make the case.
That study of more than 14,000 people in multiple countries, in addition to animal experiments, led the International Agency for Research on Cancer to classify electromagnetic energy from cellphones as "possibly carcinogenic."
But that designation does not mean the phones necessarily pose a risk. They do not emit the same kind of radiation as that used in some medical tests or found in other sources, such as radon in soil.
Even so, fears persist
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Communications Commission have found no cellphone link to cancer.
Yet fears persist, despite the fact that cancer rates have not risen since cellphones were introduced.
About three-quarters of the world's population, more than 5 billion people, use a cellphone. That makes it difficult for scientists to compare cancer incidence in people who use the devices versus those who do not.

Dr Hamlin and the curse of fistula in poor women
"The Australian gynaecologist Dr Catherine Hamlin has been working in Addis Ababa in Ethiopia for the last 45 years [actually, 48 years -- PW].
"She's famous for her work with women suffering from a devastating childbirth injury known as a fistula -- a hole between the bladder and the rectum which results in permanent incontinence.
"Catherine and her husband Dr Reg Hamlin founded the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital where they pioneered a surgical treatment which completely cures 93 percent of fistula sufferers.
"Now more hospitals have opened to treat women and help them return their villages.
"Catherine's work has now been documented in a new film 'A Walk To Beautiful', which follows five women in Ethiopia whose lives have been transformed by their treatment at the hospital."

I think that it just needs to be said now to get it out of the way, CarCar has the perfect feet to wear socks. I am not saying that she has gnarly feet, quite the opposite, she has the most perfect little toes, but there is just something about her with socks on that seems, well, perfect. (I know that I am slightly biased.)
Here is some photographic evidence:

The ramp connecting interstates 394 and 94 east has closed for two weeks, the Minnesota Department of Transportation says.
The closure will accommodate work on the Lowry Hill Tunnel, which moved to one eastbound lane Aug. 4, and to make improvements to the ramp as part of the larger I-94 to Brooklyn Center project.
Follow Construction Updates on Lowry Hill Tunnel Project
MnDOT says the detour during the ramp closure will be Highway 100 south to Highway 62 east to Interstate 35W north, a distance of more than 17 miles.
Tyler Hamilton said that's just too long for his daily commutes. He plans to start looking for an alternative immediately.
"I'll throw it on my phone, Google and try to find a little cut to make it around that," Hamilton said. "I don't think I could actually do 100 to 35W and up and around, that's crazy."
Crews will begin closing the ramp late Sunday, and it will be completely closed by Monday's morning rush hour, according to MnDOT. The ramp is expected to reopen in time for the morning rush hour Aug. 28.
TRACK YOUR COMMUTE: Real-Time Traffic Map
MnDOT acknowledges the ramp closure affects a large number of motorists, though it wasn't clear exactly how many use the ramp each day. The department suggests drivers plan their routes in advance, allow plenty of time and be patient.
"People can use 511.org for real time updates," said MnDOT spokesman Dave Aiekens. "Typically what happens is people figure out their route after a few days and it settles in."

Hello, hello! Can I just say how daunting this task is?? Ha! I get so excited to share my pictures and stories with anyone that's interested, but the thought of sitting down and typing out stories seems so overwhelming! I'm currently sitting in my hairdresser's lobby, planning out a workout schedule for this summer and I couldn't be more excited! My plan for cardio is this: alternate every third day with running – that's going to be a struggle, swimming – ha that's going to be a joke , and climbing stairs – I love climbing stairs, and then somehow work in a strength training regimen, with the hope of being more fit come next semester! Okaaaay, moving on!
Tuesday May 18th ~ First day in Chikudzulire
This morning started at 5:45, as most of mornings usually did. Waking up was followed by getting dressed, having breakfast and packing our bags for the day. Linda arrived close to 7am and escorted us to the Somebody Cares headquarters for an hour of singing and praying. Can I just say that I LOVE the way they pray in Africa? Granted, I was only exposed to the prayers of Malawian people so this might be a gross generalization, but I adored the spirit with which they prayed. Never once did I hear someone utter a prayer of "asking". There were no "God bless me, God protect me…" prayers. Rather, they were prayers of thanksgiving.
(When I first started taking pictures over there, I would hold up 3 fingers above the camera and say "3-2-1 smile" while counting down with my fingers... I soon realized that they would mimic me in the photos and had to change my tactics! haha)
This spoke measures to me, to my heart. Here in America, we have more than even the middle class in Malawi could ever fathom, and yet our prayers are contaminated with asking for more, asking for different, or asking for newer things or circumstances. These people, who own nothing in their name, don't pray for things to be different they pray prayers of thanksgiving. They are thankful that the God who created life and love chose to fill them with both, and they rejoice because of the sacrifice of Jesus and the hope that He brings. They consider themselves more than fortunate because of their faith and that was beautiful. At least I happen to think so.
(Same story here... haha!)
Moving on, after our morning devotions, Linda took us to the Malawian version of Costco (which was super cool) and we stalked up on water bottles. In Malawi, just as in Mexico, the tap water is contaminated with all kinds of things you don't want to put in your body, so we were told to steer clear of tap water and ice cubes. I think I saw that more as a general guideline than a rule to followed… because that didn't really stop me from brushing my teeth with tap water and ordering iced Chapmans at dinner time. I even drank out of the water from the Boreholes in the village. Looking back on it now, I recognize how lucky I was and how potentially stupid that could have been, but I wanted the full experience.
(A brief shot of our Welcoming Committee)
After leaving the local superstore, we drove for about an hour before reaching the village – Mission Community's adopted village – of Chikudzulire. Instantly, we were greeted by the "Welcoming Committee" – a crowd of people who welcome guests into their village. After shaking several hands and exchanging friendly greetings, we began to sing and dance! 25-30 songs later, we were tired and they, well they had ran out of songs to sing. Let's just say that to us foreigners, we did a jiggle similar to "head shoulders knees and toes" and the Pepto Bismol dance… don't pretend you don't know what that looks like!
After the dancing, which I later learned was customary in every village we would attend, we set up our first day of vision clinics. On this particular day, we were able to see 50-75 people and the results were amazing! This one woman in particular was old and frail and had really poor sight. After having her vision assessed by
Jeff, I was handed a sticky note with her prescription. I searched through the 3000+ glasses and found a nearly perfect match! She put them on and started repeating a word over and over again. When I asked a Somebody Care's staff member what she was saying, he replied: "she is rejoicing and saying 'I can see! I CAN SEE!'". That was truly music to my ears. The day was full of helping people and really just being with people. In between hunting for the perfect pair of bifocals, I was teaching the kids to play patty-cake or even singing my own songs to them. It was superb.
The day ended with cheerful goodbyes and a long drive home to the lodge. We finished it off with a *warm* shower and a tasty meal. I was pooped and bed had rarely felt so sweet.

Riverboat Dream (That Side)
The water below is crystal clear and fresh, like the inside of a fish tank. The vessel is sinking below me; somehow still whole but headed straight down. The paddle wheel is spinning mad bubbly swirls, cutting everything loose into smaller pieces. Like a runaway mower, the boat paddles down towards the sandy bottom, the rickety hull skin being shed while revealing something much newer underneath.
Later. I'm floating away from the crest on a broken chunk of "old-timer" wooden surfboard tattooed with Maori patterns. Looking back towards the river crest where I went down, I can see great masses of boat flotsam getting churned by the paddle wheel to the water's surface. And as I'm watching all the flotsam rise, the boat, much newer but still antique, emerges out of the water like a breaching whale, white spray spouting out the stacks. The paddle wheel is rotating madly, suspending the entire hull on the surface while turning the boat slowly round on its axis, upending, submerging, resurfacing, then splashing down and going under.
A pontoon biplane is heading towards me. It's as if it were riding on an invisible coaster track, touching the water lightly when dipping down. The hippy goggled pilot in the cockpit gives me the thumbs-up as he passes. He circles several times above the "dance arena", writing cryptic smoke signals that I'm unable to decipher. Then he heads straight up, nosedives, and at the last instant before hitting the water he swoops up, pauses and slowly descends tail first. The bi-wings begin rotating like a hover craft while the smoking tail-pipe gargles each time it alights on the water.
And then the crazy riverboat bobs to the surface, levitating above the water with wild paddle wheel gone insane and smoke stacks chuffing out a jitterbuggy tune and everything jumping like a whirly-gig---a gyrating rockin'-in-rhythm pair...and my epiphany knows no bounds. "Well this is really it. They are for real!"
But the scene drifts away, getting smaller and less real. I'm thinking "Why hasn't anyone thought of an old-time riverboat show like this?" With this gut feeling I realize that if I get back upriver and contact the friendly and talented pilot, I'll be able to convince him of my plans and collect a finder's fee.

Superintendent Anitra Wells appeared before the board today with a renovation study funding request.
Few improvements have been made to the 54-year-old school, Wells told the board and the school system is faced with increased repair costs.
Weldon High School, which serves 204 students, has been second on a list for repairs or new construction behind Manning Elementary, which is currently under construction, County Manager Tony Brown said. That list hasn't been reviewed since the decision was made to move forward with construction of the new Manning school.
Commissioner Rives Manning suggested it might be time for a new survey of school facilities considering the age of the current document.
The county has not budgeted funds for the study in its current fiscal year plan, Brown said. There is the option to use state lottery money to fund the study, the one the school system wants to go with costing $38,000.
The school system has $236,553 in lottery funds available, Finance Director Mary Duncan told the board.
"I remember when the long-range plan was put together," Commissioner Marcelle Smith said. "Weldon High School was next in line. I knew there were concerns at the high school. What do we need to do to help Weldon students be college ready?"
The school system wants to go with Raleigh-based Davis Kane Architects, Wells said.
The company, in a July 21 letter to County Attorney Glynn Rollins, stated its goal would be to determine whether the school should be renovated or a new building should be constructed on a new or existing site.
In determining the options, one of the deciding factors would be coming up with probable costs as well as determining program needs compared with the needs to state Department of Public Instruction standards.
Commissioner Patrick Qualls suggested the school system go back to its board and then come back to commissioners. "I don't have a problem with the study."
The next board of commissioners meeting is October 16 at 5:30 p.m. at the Historic Courthouse in Halifax.

the year's relevant developments. However, we have chosen some of them to highlight here as we say farewell to 2014 and look ahead to all that 2015
may bring.
Possibly the most highly anticipated of new issues to hit the landscape this year was the establishment of the Fair Work Commission's new bullying jurisdiction.
Interestingly, despite the initial "shock, horror" thoughts and responses from employers and employer groups and even the Commission itself, the introduction of the new provisions has essentially resulted in an anti-climax of sorts.
The recent Annual Report issued by the Fair Work Commission (Commission) on 15 October 2014 shows that the once anticipated 'tsunami' of complaints was an over-reaction, with just 270
anti-bullying conferences and hearings having taken place nationwide in the period January to June 2014. Of these matters, only a small minority have resulted in formal decisions (21 of them, in fact) and only one of those decisions resulted in a finding that bullying had occurred and may reoccur. The remaining 20 such applications were dismissed.
The Commission's Annual Report
More broadly, the Commission's Annual Report indicates an increase in hearings generally, although the increases were, for the most part, relatively insignificant. The latest statistics as to unfair dismissal cases is that 79% of such applications settled at conciliation.
A decline in the use of enterprise agreements by employers was indicated (for the second consecutive year) and there has also been a reduction in industrial action.
Pay rates and other monetary changes
From 1 July 2014 minimum rates of pay in Modern Awards increased by 3% following the 2014 annual wage review. A range of expense related allowances under Modern Awards were also increased in line with percentage increases to the Consumer Price Index. A new national minimum wage was also set. That rate, for a full time adult, is now $640.90 per week or $16.87 per hour.
Also on 1 July 2014, as we have written previously, the transitional provisions under Modern Awards ceased to apply and the full pay rates, casual loadings, shift allowances and penalties in Modern Awards began to apply (with minor exceptions).
Another change from 1 July 2014 was the annual increase to the high income threshold to $133,000.
Significantly, from 1 July 2014 employers became required to contribute 9.5% of an employee's ordinary time earnings into superannuation.

` High Court has final word on real reason for adverse action
The Budget
The Budget also introduced some key changes for employers to note, including the change to superannuation guarantee contributions which will
no longer increase to 12% over the next five years, instead remaining fixed for three years, rising to 10% from 1 July 2018 and then increasing by 0.5% each year until reaching 12%.
Trade Union Royal Commission 2014 has also seen the Honourable Dyson Heydon AC QC appointed to lead a Royal Commission
to enquire into the alleged financial irregularities
associated with the affairs of trade unions. The Royal Commission began the hearing process on 9 April 2014 and heard evidence from 120 witnesses.
An interim report to the Governor General is expected to be delivered on 15 December 2014. As to the ultimate conclusions and recommendations, that will be something which 2015 will deliver after the Royal Commission's extended term for hearing evidence.
High court decisions
Significantly in 2014 we have had the High Court deliver decisions in two separate matters relevant to workplace relations.
As we have written previously, in the much anticipated and highly publicised decision of the High Court in Commonwealth Bank of Australia v Barker 2014 HCA 32 (delivered on 10 September 2014)
the majority of the High Court held that there was no common law duty of mutual trust and confidence applicable to an employment contract.
The other significant decision of the High Court this year, detailed further in this edition of our Workplace Insights, is a decision in the CFMEU 'scab' case (CFMEU v BHP Coal Pty Ltd [2014] HCA 41), a decision essentially reaffirming the High Court's earlier decision in Barclay (Board of
Bendigo Regional Institute of Technical and Further Education v Barclay and Anor (2012) 248 CLR 500) and upholding the notion that it is the subjective view of the decision maker that really matters in adverse action cases.
Enterprise Agreements
We have also seen some developments in the area of enterprise agreements, with the Commission:
reinforcing its approach that strict compliance
with the pre-approval steps is required for an agreement to be approved;
settling, perhaps once and for all, the issue of
whether or not annual leave can be incorporated into an hourly rate of pay in an enterprise agreement (the answer from the Full Bench of the Commission has been an emphatic "no"); and
confirming that a "no further claims" clause in
an enterprise agreement does not prevent an employer from using the provisions of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) to vary an enterprise agreement.
Sexual harassment
2014 has also seen a perpetuation of the trend in increased sexual harassment claim damages. The case of Richardson v Oracle Corporation Australia Pty Ltd [2014] FCAFC 82 has seen an employee
complainant awarded $130,000 in general damages by her employer who was found to have been vicariously liable for the actions of another employee who, it was determined, had sexually harassed the complainant in the workplace over a seven month period.
Age discrimination
Age discrimination has also experienced some developments. In April 2014 the Fair Work Ombudsman successfully prosecuted its first age discrimination matter (Fair Work Ombudsman v Theravanish Investments Pty Ltd and Others [2014] FCCA (2 April 2014)).
That case is outlined later on in this edition of our Workplace Insights. With the revelation that the retirement age may increase to 70 by 2035, we expect that in 2015 and beyond we may see an increased focus on age discrimination in the
workplace, perhaps by the Fair Work Ombudsman in particular.
Victoria-specific developments In Victoria we have this year also seen developments in:
police powers to "move on" disruptive
union pickets;
occupational health and safety regulations (with amendments commencing, largely to remove certain administrative requirements and with the main amendments being around construction, plant, high risk work licences, hazardous substances, carcinogenetic functions and chemicals, lead, registered plant and design and mines); "Worksafe Victoria" rebranding and returning
to its legal name, the Victorian WorkCover Authority; and
action around machinery guarding (the County
Court in Melbourne has recently fined an employer $375,000 for its failure to install adequate machinery guarding, which contributed to the crushing of employees' hands in two separate incidents). Incidentally, that case represents the 17th prosecution in Victoria
in 2014 for guarding related breaches of occupational health and safety laws.
Transport industry
The transport industry has experienced significant change this year. The first Road Safety Remuneration Order handed down by the Road
Safety and Remuneration Tribunal took effect on 1 May 2014. Transport providers have consequently spent significant amounts of time reviewing their arrangements and taking the necessary steps to ensure compliance.
In addition, the Heavy Vehicle National Law took effect in most States (Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia and Tasmania) on 10 February 2014, establishing a national system through uniform laws administered by a single
national regulator - in an effort to assist the transport industry to comply with their obligations across Australia by reducing inconsistencies and duplication across the States and Territories.
That completes our "round up" of 2014. Again, whilst not all inclusive, it can be seen that much has occurred in the workplace relations space this year. Hopefully you will all be enjoying a holiday over the Christmas and January period and we hope that your break is both restful and safe. But, if you are not lucky enough to be taking a break, fear not, for a change is (proverbially!) as good as a holiday, and looking forward to 2015 it would seem that there are some further changes on the horizon.
To that end, there are currently numerous relevant Bills before the Senate.
The Fair Work Amendment Bill, if passed, will represent the first significant amendments made by the Federal Government since its election in September 2013 and will impact issues such as changes to the making of greenfields agreements, right of entry provisions, annual leave loading in the context of termination and transfer of business. See our March 2014 issue of Workplace Insights (Volume 2 Number 1) for more information about these proposed amendments.
The Fair Work Amendment (Bargaining Processes) Bill (introduced to Parliament on 27 November 2014) will, if passed, make
improvements to the processes associated with the bargaining of enterprise agreements with an overall focus upon the delivery of productivity improvements to business.
The Building and Construction Industry (Improving Productivity) Bill is also before the Senate. That Bill, if passed, will prohibit certain unlawful industrial action and re-establish the Australian Building and Construction Commission.
The Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Bill, also presently before the Senate, will (if passed) establish a new body to be called the Registered Organisations Commission and provide that body with investigation powers to monitor and regulate union activities.
Did you know - compulsory retirement at 65 is unlawful The Fair Work Ombudsman has successfully
prosecuted a Thai restaurant business on the Gold
Coast for terminating an employee upon attaining the age of 65 years of age.
The employee had been working for about 15 years and brought complaints about underpayment of wages which were disputed by the business.
As the issues were unresolved the employee sought a redundancy and severance payment. The employer refused and stated that it was company policy not to employ any staff that attain the retirement age of 65 years of age.
The Federal Circuit Court held that this was a breach of the General Protections provisions under Part
3.1 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) which prohibit adverse action based on age. The Federal Circuit Court ordered the company to pay the employee
$10,000 for loss suffered plus $20,790 in fines. The company's joint directors were fined a further
$4,180 each.
This was despite the Court's acknowledgment that there is a general misunderstanding within the community about retirement and the retirement age, and the reliance by the directors upon advice provided by their long-standing trusted accountant that it was lawful to establish a compulsory retirement age of 65 years of age. The Court held that the accountant had failed his clients and they must pay the price.
Employers should be aware that retirement ages are not compulsory and that workers may elect to work beyond 65 as a legally protected right. It may be possible to discriminate against a person based
on their age if the employee cannot fulfil the inherent requirements of the role but this requires considered legal advice and should be approached with caution.
Case note: Fair Work Ombudsman v Theravanish Investments Pty Ltd [2014] FCCA 1170 (2 April 2014)
High Court has final word on real reason for adverse action The majority of the High Court has ruled in favour
of BHP Coal and held that the employer did not
take adverse action for a prohibited reason when it dismissed an employee union delegate over allegedly intimidating other workers by displaying a sign supplied by the CFMEU at a union protest which read "No Principles SCABS No Guts".
The Full Federal Court had found in favour of BHP Coal and reversed an earlier Federal Court ruling in favour of the CFMEU and the union delegate who had been terminated.
The CFMEU argued that the termination was due to the employee/union delegate's participation in lawful industrial activity - which is protected under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth).
The General Manager of BHP contended that the reasons for the termination were the content of the union delegate's communications with his
fellow employees, the way in which he made those communications and what that had conveyed about him as an employee.
The High Court minority judgments held that it was impossible to divorce the lawful industrial activity from the circumstances in which it was used. Accordingly, it was possible to contradict BHP Coal's General Manager's assertion that he did not take adverse action for any prohibited reason or for reasons including the prohibited reason.
The majority of the High Court disagreed and in so doing left very little scope to second guess the reasons provided by a decision-maker as to why adverse action had been taken against an
employee otherwise in contravention of the General Protections provisions in Part 3.1 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth).
The decision is good news for employers and human resources managers giving evidence as to their reasons for making a decision adversely affecting an employee. This is because that once the evidence
of the reasoning of a decision-maker is accepted with no qualification, that should be the end of the matter even if the circumstances objectively lead to an inference being drawn contrary to that evidence.
This is all the more important for employers and human resources managers who are subject to a reverse onus of proof in defending adverse action claims.
We recommend that employers seek legal advice prior to terminating employment in circumstances which may give rise to a claim under the General Protections provisions of Part 3.1 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth).

The stress that financial problems cause on a family are well documented and there is simply no need for this if you follow a simple budget and manage your money as described in this book.

Schools have done a terrible job preparing their students for this very important part of life.

From the Author
When I was in my early 20's I decided that I wanted to develop a long term financial plan so that I could retire early if I wanted to. The reality is it was also born out of a lack of confidence in myself. Many of us start our careers and families after depending on our parents for all our needs. All of a sudden you are on your own. At least for me, this was just a little intimidating. I was getting married and wanted children. That is a lot of responsibility that was about to come my way.
I started studying financial planning as well as retirement planning and came up with a strategy that is detailed in the book. Sure, you could go about researching this on your own. Why not benefit from the knowledge of someone who has put in a great deal of time preparing their own plan and has successfully carried this out during one of the most difficult times since the Great Depression?
This book details the process to Build Wealth Over Time, and yes, how You Can Be A Millionaire.
The book also explains the proper way to budget, which is a critical part of this plan. In addition to the Free Retirement Calculator included with every book there is a Free Budget Worksheet.
I hope his book provides the inspiration you need to start your own plan and achieve the dreams you have for an enjoyable retirement doing what it is that you desire.
From the Inside Flap
Everyone has financial choices to make throughout their life and as they plan for their retirement. You can live off social security after a lifetime of hard work or you can retire early and do what you want in life. The choice seems easy; however statistics show that too many people simply are not planning for their retirement. What better way to learn how to navigate the difficult challenges of planning for your retirement than from someone who has done it. Steve Swanson has figured it out. Take advantage of someone who has spent countless hours preparing his own plan and has successfully carried it out. Steve has read several of my books and has followed the principals I believe in. I really enjoyed this practical book. It provides inspiration to start your own plan and achieve the dreams you have for an enjoyable retirement.

It is very apparent that Alex really does have a love of learning. Good going to you all for instilling that from a young age!ReplyDelete
It is one of the key components to happiness in life. It is one of the prime lessons parents must strive to instill from the very youngest of ages.ReplyDelete
Shiroi-you must be SO proud! It is also quite obvious that his success is in large part to his parents dedication!ReplyDelete
It is mostly due to his dedication. He loves to learn. We had also started him from the beginning with good study habits. It is a simple recipe...but a dish which takes constant care and which takes a long time to cook.ReplyDelete
