I have a friend whom I've known since primary. Lets call him 'K'. I was in the same class with him since standard 1 right through standard 6. He wasn't really one of the gang (me, Soraya, Adam, Alfy -->the bookworms!), but he was in 'kumpulan A' with us so he DID join in on Adam's antics and without any other name I could call him, I settled with calling him 'Cabbage' whenever he started calling me 'Jaws'! As a rule in primary school, everyone in the class was your bestfriend so I guess, I could call him a good friend too!
In standard 5 to 6, when we started noticing the opposite sex as not-really-yucky-as-initially-thought, we drifted apart. This might also be due to the class streaming where, though most of us remained in the same class, it was already different. Then all of us entered secondary school where most of us were only in contact with the people who go to the same school.
However, after our SPM, we had this class reunion where everyone met after a long 'separation'. It was good to see how much your friends have changed on the outside, but are still the same inside. It was then that most friendships picked up right where they had been left. This so happened to me and him.
He called me nearly everyday after that. I didn't mind it that much since most of us were calling each other up to catch up on each other's lives, though I was a bit mad when he kept questioning me who else have I been in contact with and why was he/she calling me. Then when all of us headed off to our respective universities, we kept on with our friendship by letters. Okay Ami, if you're reading this, I know you would've already guessed who he is so DON't YOU DARE LAUGH AT ME IN MY FACE haha.. I mean, saya dapat surat dari dia EVERY Sunday (I was in KMK in Kulim where Sunday is a working day) and the next day I'd already posted my reply. YOU pulak, sangat liat to reply my letters, nak average 1 letter in a fortnight pun tak bleh.. more likely sekali sebulan, betul tak? So of course la I appreciate his letters. Don't worry, I appreciate your letters jugak, still simpan lagi tau.. you know how crazy I am about snailmail.. still prefer the personal touch! *That goes to you too, Sentot!*
However, I never knew how misinterpreted I was until towards the end of my first year in Tronoh. Now, in KMK, Chipunk was always teasing me about my letters since she was the unofficial postgirl of the dorm. In Tronoh, it was Dayah, my roomate, who'd tease me no matter how much I tell them we were just friends. But I got the shock of my life (my life up until then la..) when he told me something I never suspected! I was so mad at him that I stopped my letter writing to him immediately. Even his emails were ignored. Truth is, as mad as I was with him, I was afraid our other friends would feel like I had been dangling him on a string all the while. I mean, he told me some of our friends (one of them is a budak Sg Ara too who was my 'gang mengaji') along with some members of his family had thought that I was into him. Of all things.. and people!
When he realized what had happened, he asked for my forgiveness but being the stubborn me, I refused to even talk to him. The damage had been done, and silly me chose to pretend he didn't exist instead of forgetting it ever happened! Ok Ami, you know the story right.. Truth here: Though I hated what he had told me, I couldn't help missing his letters. I mean, I've been so used to them eventhough they lack humour (Yup, really lack humour. Problem is, he doesn't understand my definition of funny and vice versa.. thats why he's just a friend! And yeah, there were so many differences that I'm suprised he never realized..)
Anyway, after a few years of his absence and listening to Ami teasing me, I thought I'd already be ok with him. Especially after he called me one day to tell me he had someone special with him. I was happy for him (and a bit relieved) but somehow, our conversations were never the same. There was this gap between us that somehow made me want to just dismiss him whenever he called. When he asked about my invisible friend, I didn't feel relieved after that, though I was sad and wanted to tell someone about it.. instead, I felt as if I had made a mistake.
I was proven right when one day he called me to tell me he felt like breaking up the engagement. I tried to soothe him but he just made me mad again when he told me he had never really forgotten me. What the h***! I couldn't believe that he could make me feel so low, like a s*** who keeps getting in the way! Man, I was ready to erupt so I guess I just hung up and ignored all his calls after that! I mean, I'm not that desperate, ok!
Towards his wedding, he text me asking for my address to send his card but I don't think I ever gave it too him, somehow, being hit two times has made me be more comfortable being as far away as possible from him. I'm also ashamed to admit that I didn't go to his wedding, truth is, I really forgot but maybe my subconscious mind MADE me forget about it.
Last night, I receiced a text message from him. After all the pleasantries exchanged, he told me his good news: He was going to be a father! I laughed when I told him I couldn't imagine him as a father and I guess for a while, we were just like the old times UNTIL he told me that his wife was outstation and that was why he was smsing me. Feeling my temper starting to rise, I found fault in all his smses and at one point, I stopped replying and ignored his call after that.
However, when I was ready to sleep, I was suddenly engulfed in this guilt so big, I felt like suffocating. I mean, just because I had been feeling so down a few days ago didn't mean I could just push a friend aside when I felt like it. Yes, I was mad at him for reminding me 'things' but still, I never really told him that I didn't like what he was doing. I've always beat around the bush whenever it comes to him so I guess he deserves the truth!
I told him, bukan call aaa, that I still wasn't comfortable around him no matter how many years had passed. I told him that I still was mad because he made some of our friends think that things weren't as they really were and he never bothered to correct them. I told him that I didn't think I could ever be close to him as we were (and this is also because I'm a bit guarded towards my relationship with my married male friends.. ye la, I'm telling 'someone' to stop befriending 'laki orang' and I don't want to be said as 'cakap tak serupa bikin', do I?). I told him that I hated the way he spoiled everything just when we were starting to be ok with each other.
I was expecting anger.. fury! Instead I got a reply that somehow made me understand that he never really realized why I was so, whats the word, stiff around him. I always wondered, doesn't he understand I didn't want anything to do with him whenever he started contacting me. But he told me, he realized that everytime he tried to talk to me, I'd give him my cold shoulder, no matter how careful he had put his word together.. Fact here: Some guys just DON'T UNDERSTAND! Haha, I thought I had made myself clear but I guess I never did!
Somehow, it touched me that no matter how teruk I was to him, he was always trying to ask for my forgiveness when it was ME who was supposed to do that, after the way I treated him. Maybe he doesn't understand the limits, but did I TELL him about them? I was mad at him, but really, did I have the right to be? Being more open now, I don't really think so..
*Really ashamed of myself now!*
I guess I should have been truthful to him from the start. I only wanted a friend when we were close, once upon a time ago but since I wasn't, we ended up in this mess. I mean, I thought it was obvious but instead, when things took a turn for the worse, I just walked off without really confronting him. Then when he doesn't really understand my actions, I don't take the liberty to make things clear, instead, konon tak mau cakap bagi sakit hati la ni, I just beat around the bush. I'm sorry!
To my big brother, 'K'.. I'm gonna really hide this entry (and the whole blog) from you as carefully as I can but if one day, unfortunately, you come across this, I just want you to know that I appreciate you always being there for me. Yes, I was mad, but I realize, it isn't really my place to be mad at you. Maybe, it was a good thing you never understood my 'running away' from you.. but please don't make me feel it would've been better if you understood since most people would just trot off without turning back. And when my niece/nephew is born, believe me, this is the best Aunty Ayu in the world for him/her!

The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through the Madness Industry (Paperback)
Staff Reviews
The term psychopath instantly brings to mind thoughts of Hannibal Lector or Ted Bundy, but in reality, psychopaths live among us and look like our neighbors and CEOs. In this fascinating book, Ronson examines the world of psychopaths and those who study them. Ronson is such a charming, witty writer that what could have been a terrifying book is instead funny, engaging, impossible to put down, and filled with fodder for discussion. In fact, if you read this, you'll be desperate to talk to about it, making it perfect for book groups. I absolutely loved this book.— Flannery
A zany look at the dark and elusive world of psychopaths -- how to spot them, how we've tried to cure them, and how they've managed to infiltrate some of the most powerful positions in the world. Investigative journalist Jon Ronson adds the perfect amount of his trademark humor to an otherwise horrifying topic. By the end, you'll be giving everyone some serious side-eye.— Kelly
In this madcap journey, a bestselling journalist investigates psychopaths and the industry of doctors, scientists, and everyone else who studies them. The Psychopath Test is a fascinating journey through the minds of madness. Jon Ronson's exploration of a potential hoax being played on the world's top neurologists takes him, unexpectedly, into the heart of the madness industry. An influential psychologist who is convinced that many important CEOs and politicians are, in fact, psychopaths teaches Ronson how to spot these high-flying individuals by looking out for little telltale verbal and nonverbal clues. And so Ronson, armed with his new psychopath-spotting abilities, enters the corridors of power. He spends time with a death-squad leader institutionalized for mortgage fraud in Coxsackie, New York; a legendary CEO whose psychopathy has been speculated about in the press; and a patient in an asylum for the criminally insane who insists he's sane and certainly not a psychopath. Ronson not only solves the mystery of the hoax but also discovers, disturbingly, that sometimes the personalities at the helm of the madness industry are, with their drives and obsessions, as mad in their own way as those they study. And that relatively ordinary people are, more and more, defined by their maddest edges.
About the Author
Jon Ronson's works include New York Times bestseller So You've Been Publicly Shamed, Lost at Sea, The Amazing Adventures of Phoenix Jones, and international bestsellers: Them: Adventures with Extremists and The Men Who Stare at Goats. Ronson lives in New York.

Pennsylvania Benefit Corporations:
A New Way of Doing Business
On January 22, 2013, Pennsylvania became the 12th state to adopt benefit corporation legislation. What is a benefit corporation? It is a business corporation, with three important distinctions. This new class of corporation differs from a standard business corporation since it is required to 1) create a material positive impact on society and the environment; 2) meet higher standards of accountability; and 3) be transparent by reporting on its overall social and environmental performance using recognized third party standards.
Presently, and historically, a business corporation's focus has been to enhance shareholder value to the exclusion of other considerations. Straying from this narrow focus could subject directors to an action for breach of their fiduciary duty to the corporation. However, this singular focus is often inadequate for businesses that are mission driven. A growing number of entrepreneurs and investors seek a form of business that allows them to pursue an expanded mission that embraces societal good along with profits. The benefit corporation is designed to do just that.
In addition to its general business purpose, a benefit corporation must have a purpose of creating general public benefit. It also has the option of identifying one or more specific public purposes. For example, a specific public benefit could include improving human health, promoting economic opportunity for individuals or communities beyond the creation of jobs in the ordinary course of business, or promoting the arts, sciences or advancement of knowledge.
It may seem that this new type of entity is somewhat of a hybrid between a for-profit and a not-for-profit corporation, but that is not the case. A benefit corporation is a type of business corporation with a broadened purpose to create societal good.
Corporate officers and directors are fiduciaries. They have a duty of care and a duty of loyalty to the corporation. Since enhancing shareholder value is the underlying corporate goal of a business corporation, directors' actions need to advance that goal to properly exercise those duties. Conversely, directors and officers of a benefit corporation, in considering its best interest, shall consider the effects of any action not only upon the shareholders, but also upon the company's employees, its customers, the community, the local and global environment, the short-term and long-term interest of the benefit corporation, and the ability of the benefit corporation to accomplish its general public benefit purpose and any specific public benefit purpose.
This broader viewpoint may certainly allow a mission-driven organization to pursue its goals, but how does this enhanced standard of conduct affect the board of directors? It is important to note that the Pennsylvania benefit corporation statute limits actions against the corporation, its officers and its directors to those parties with standing. That list is limited to the benefit corporation itself, and, derivatively, to shareholders and directors of the benefit corporation. Actions for monetary damages are not allowed under the statute and a plaintiff's remedy is limited to injunctive relief.
At the end of each fiscal year, a benefit corporation is required to deliver an annual benefit report to each company shareholder, post it on its website so it is available to the public, and file the report with the Pennsylvania Department of State. The report must contain information about the company including an enumerated list of specific information about its efforts to create public benefit.
The assessment of the overall social and environmental performance of the benefit corporation must be measured against a third-party standard consistently applied.
Pennsylvania now has a vehicle for social entrepreneurs and business owners that may very well appeal to those whose mission extends beyond solely enhancing shareholder value to include considerations of society as a whole.

bear with me i'm so
the fabric is light and supple, not a bit sleazy because of the light fulling. i was extra cautious as i tend to od on fulling and also because i could not afford heavy shrinkage or else i wouldn't have had enough width for the sleeves.all in all i just gave 2 cms. to the cause of fulling ending with 90 beautiful cms.of blood sweat and tears woven double width. never say never again, but.....
the merino yarn behaved quit well without excessive breakage or pilling. i do not foresee problems in the sewing stage either.
i'm sewing a top with front buttons 3/4 sleeves and perhaps a stand up mao collar. have to give the collar a thought. very subdued fabric and garment, very おばさん
there's something very satisfactory in using your stash to clothe yourself. it is
like going back to basics.sensei would be happy to hear me saying these things.

text: I had my ultrasound this morning and our little peanut is doing just great. He had all his parts and it was very obvious that he was a boy. He was alos jumping all over the place and several times the ultrasound technician commented on how active he was and how he wouldn't stay still. A sign of things to come? I hope not! Cameron was there with Jeremy and I and he was just so interested in everything they were doing and thrilled with being able to peek at his baby brother. It looks like we will be an all boy family which I have finally accepted, and I think I can be happy with that. Believe it or not, this was the only ultrasound I did not cry at, because I think I really did know in my heart that is was another boy. From a woman who wanted all girls, I certainly did not expect all boys, but I really do believe that we are given each of these little ones for a reason, and I cannot wait to meet this little guy. Here are a couple of pictures from the ultrasound, they aren't the best because I actually had to photograph them (we don't have a scanner), but you get the idea.

American Pelicans at Lake Chautauqua
American Pelicans on Lake Chautauqua. They were way out there. Without my new big lens I couldn't have taken a photograph of them where you could clearly identify them as pelicans, although Scott and I knew they were pelicans by the black tips on their wings. The paths of many migratory birds have been shifting over the past several years, most likely due to global warming, and pelicans have started migrating through Illinois. I'm sure the huricanes will affect migrations this year, too.

Introduction to Shanna Tingom - Heritage Financial Strategies
Hello! US Treasury Bonds are rarely the right choice, especially now, given the historically low interest rates. The first step is to make sure you can't get to some level of comfort by making sure that you are broadly diversified, and really understand what a "recession" means. For example, if we do go through another 2001 or 2008, did people stop cooking at home or buying personal care items? Nope! So investments in those types of companies do well, even in and through a recession. Most 401(k)'s have funds that invest in these types of companies. If that doesn't help you sleep at night, you could consider an annuity over Treasury Bonds. You may be able to take advantage of an in-service distribution to move your 401(k) to your IRA, and there are thousands of types of annuities. They are most certainly NOT my most favorite investment...mostly due to the fees. But it's the only time I can use the word "guaranteed" in my practice. You can find many that, net of fees, beat T-bonds, and include other guarantees, like lifetime income or enhanced death benefit, depending on what is important to you. You will need a fully-licensed investment professional to help you compare them and find the best one for you given your circumstances, if that's the route you choose. Good luck!
That depends on the the record-keeper and your plan documents. Every plan is different. I would recommend contacting your 401(k) custodian or HR department so you can find out what is allowable with your plan.
By Leveraged Investing, are you taking about options? If so, NO, a good advisor would not recommend this. I have the knowledge and training to do it, and don't even do it for myself. It's very close to going to Vegas and putting it all on red. Slow and steady wins the race in investing. There aren't any short-cuts. Best of luck to you!
No, unfortunately, it's not. The 1031 has to be designated in advance, and handled using an intermediary. But there are several other tax benefits you could realize on both ends. Make sure you consult with a local CPA and that they know all about these transactions. Best of luck!
Absolutely. It's a great tax move to donate stock that is highly appreciated to charity!

CELTIC are to raise season ticket prices for 2001-02 in an attempt to make an impact in the Champions League.
Sunday's 1-0 home win over their Old Firm rivals Rangers virtually assured Martin O'Neill's team of the Scottish Premier League title and they now want to generate the financial clout that will enable them to improve on their patchy recent record in Europe.
It is 17 years since Celtic survived in European competitions beyond Christmas and their only taste of Champions League action came in the 1998-99 qualifying competition. They put out St Patrick's Athletic of the League of Ireland but were then beaten 3-1 on aggregate by Croatia Zagreb.
Announcing Celtic's financial results for 2000, Chairman Brian Quinn said yesterday: "Last year, ticket prices were frozen. It will be necessary to increase them for next season. This is a sensitive subject for all concerned.
"However, I believe that our supporters recognise that our competitors are charging higher ticket prices and generating higher revenues from smaller stadiums, allowing greater investment in player squads.
"We hope that, by adopting a policy that balances the need to finance our football operations with the needs of our supporters, we can look forward to a period in which trophies are won regularly and European nights are being enjoyed well into March, April and May each year."
The champions-in-waiting recorded a £2.23 million profit in 2000, a year in which their net debt moved from £9 million in 1999 to £26.5 million.
O'Neill has invested heavily in new players to turn the team from also-rans into runaway leaders, with newcomers Chris Sutton and Neil Lennon costing £6 million and £5.75 million respectively.
In total, £15.5 million had been spent on new players and extending existing squad members' contracts. Turnover increased by 3 per cent to £22.8 million and merchandising revenues were up 13 per cent to just over £4 million.
Quinn added the club was also close to naming a new chief executive to succeed Allan MacDonald and was in discussions with potential media partners over the exploitation of media rights.
Rangers, meanwhile, have withdrawn their appeal against the historic punishment handed out to Fernando Ricksen in December.
No explanation was given to, or even required by, the Scottish Football Association, who had set up an independent panel to decide the issue.
But it seems likely the decision was taken to spare the Dutchman further adverse publicity following his high-profile sending off against Celtic on Sunday.
As a result Ricksen must miss the next five of his side's Scottish Premier League matches, although he is eligible to play in the Scottish Cup at Ross County on Sunday.
An SFA disciplinary committee had made an unprecedented ruling before the winter break when it decided to punish Ricksen for an offence missed by the match referee.
Ricksen was caught on camera kicking Aberdeen midfielder Darren Young during Rangers' 2-1 win at Aberdeen on Nov 12. Despite the fact that referee Mike McCurry did not see what had happened, and consequently did not include it in his report to the SFA, the committee made a ruling solely using the video evidence.
Ricksen therefore became the first player to be punished that way and was given a one-match ban plus 12 penalty points, which effectively doubled his suspension.
Rangers immediately appealed and the ban was itself suspended until the independent hearing had taken place.
But now the appeal has been withdrawn in the wake of his dismissal against Celtic, which left his team-mates having to play the entire second half a man down in a game they had to win.
Ricksen can play in the Scottish Cup because the initial ruling was made for league games only.
His Sunday sending-off, when added to his previous offences on a complicated sliding scale of punishment, means he must miss his side's matches with Dundee (twice), Hearts, Kilmarnock and Motherwell.
He could face further punishment if an SFA committee take action about comments made on his personal website concerning the Young incident. No date has yet been set but Ricksen knows he must make a personal appearance at SFA headquarters at Hampden Park before the end of the season.
Dunfermline defender Youssef Rossi looks likely to escape SFA censure despite condemning Scottish referees as "weak" at the weekend. Rossi spoke out after Dunfermline's 3-1 home win over Dundee United in which he was booked for a shoulder charge on Derek Lilley.
That caution meant the Moroccan World Cup defender has been booked five times and sent off twice since moving to Scotland three months ago.
He said: "I am not very happy with referees. I cannot understand how they react. For me, they are very weak. The feeling I have is that, all the time, the referees are mostly influenced by the supporters."
Scottish Third Division club East Stirlingshire have appointed Brian Ross to replace George Fairley as manager.

Can you really ever go wrong with mac-and-cheese? probably not, and there are so many different ways to make it. My recipe below is how I grew up on homemade mac and cheese.
1 box pasta noodles
3 types of shredded cheese (I used a cheddar, parmesan and american cheese blend)
16 oz milk
3 eggs
1/2 pack of bacon (optional)
Pinch of Pepper
1. Cook pasta in boiling water, at the same time preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a bowl first whisk your 3 eggs together then add the milk. Add a bit of pepper to the mixture.
3. Once the pasta is cooked put a layer in a oven safe dish then pour your egg and milk mixture on top till pasta layer is mostly covered. Then layer on some cheese and bacon. Continue this process until you reach the top of the dish or used up all your pasta.
4. Key is to make sure to have enough egg and milk mixture so that 95% of the pasta is covered so that the pasta does not dry out. You can always add more milk and eggs to this recipe depending on if you need more.
5. Place in oven for 30 mins. or until egg is cooked and top cheese has browned a little. And there you go!

Watermelon Sorbet
500ml (2 cups) water
215g (1 cup) caster sugar
1.2kg seedless watermelon, rind removed, coarsely chopped
2 egg whites
1. Combine the water and sugar in a medium saucepan and stir over low heat for 5 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and bring to the boil. Boil for 5 minutes or until mixture thickens. Set aside for 30 minutes to cool.
2. Blend watermelon until pureed. Strain puree through a fine sieve into a jug, pressing with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible (you should have about 600ml of watermelon juice).
3. Add sugar syrup to watermelon juice and stir until well combined. Pour into an airtight container, cover and place in the freezer for 4-5 hours or until almost set.
4. Roughly break up the sorbet with a metal spoon and transfer to the bowl of a food processor. Process briefly until sorbet is smooth and has a soft, icy texture.
5. Return sorbet to container and place in the freezer for a further 4 hours or until firm. Remove from the freezer and repeat step 4. Return sorbet to the container and place in the freezer for a further 5 hours or until firm.
6. Place the sorbet and egg whites in the bowl of a food processor and process until sorbet is pale and smooth. Return to the container and place in the freezer for a further 4 hours or until almost firm. Scoop into serving glasses or bowls and serve immediately.

Sautéed Apples
In a heavey cast iron skillet, sauté 6 apples (peeled and cut into chunks) in 4 tbsp butter, until golden. In the meantime, beat with a whisk (an electric beater is OK, too) 2 cups good quality whipping cream. When the cream thickens, add 1 tsp vanilla extract and a pinch of stevia powder. Serve the sautéed apple chunks warm with the whipped cream.

"Jesus' characteristics are listed in His many names. God's Son given to us is the God of peace, the God of power, the God of provision, and the God of purpose. He shall reign over all of the earth. A believer's source of peace comes from God and the knowledge that we have been united with Him through Jesus Christ. We can call on the many Names of Jesus knowing and trusting that He has the power and the desire to be all things to us."
Do you believe that God will supply your every need? That Jesus will have your back for you, in sitting at the right hand of his Father, God? Having faith leads to trusting in the Fathers plan for your life, here and now, is to trust in his design and plan! Instill the word in your life and you instill a power that is far greater than you'll ever imagine! Far greater than well or could ever imagine in our time of need or greatest tribulation!
What do you think about yourself? Do the opinions of others change your perspective about yourself or how someone who loves you sees you? What about Gods love for you? What about the fact that Jesus died on the cross for us?
"Increase your self acceptance: 1) never speak negatively about yourself 2) Avoid comparing yourself to others 3) Let God determine your worth 4) Keep your flaws in perspective 5) Discover the true source of confidence." – Joyce Meyer
So, this should help some at least to help you see how amazing YOU ARE! Yes, you, reading this post! See the TRUE you and not what someone has labeled, stamped, or how you feel because you endlessly compare yourself to this person, that person or someone didn't have enough cooth to keep their unnecessary opinion to themselves! Do not become a slave to media and the filters on the camera… Let your beauty shine! We're all beautiful (and handsome) how God made US!
""I feel like I should be giving more to God. Jesus told the rich young ruler to sell all his possessions, give the money to the poor, and follow him. There are people who do give up everything for Jesus, but I own a house and two cars. Does that make me a weak and shallow Christian?""
What do you think? You know, it's not always about having enough money, or an extra car, or unlimited this and that…. it's about being ok to have enough and know that God has asked you to obedient with what you have and tithe as well as giving of your time or just showing love! I think that is pretty equal no matter what you're able to do! We all have different situations in the home and what we can and can't afford!

Neal Boortz talked about 'Vanity' license plates on his Friday morning show, specifically about a Vegan, Colorado woman who wanted to proclaim her love of eating Tofu on her car.
"ILVTOFU" was her desire. It was denied by Colorado.

If you think theatre for 2 year-olds is impossible, think again.
Shadow Play is a new show designed especially for children aged between 2 and 6. Four performers enter a pristine empty space and proceed to make mischief - bursting through paper walls, going wild with paint and dancing with shadows.
The show is inspired by the way that children play and explore the world around them, and there is a lot of dance, mime, and live music on wonderfully weird instruments to keep them entertained.
The play is produced by the Travelling Light theatre company and is going on a 34-venue tour across the country that will culminate in an eleven-day run at the Unicorn Theatre.
Travelling Light are a Brighton-based company that have been producing theatre for young people for the last 23 years. Their performance style is highly physical, visual and musical and their past hits include Papa, Please Get the Moon For Me, Clown and Cloudland. They tour nationally and internationally to places as faraway as Korea and Romania.
For ages 2-6.

Lately I have taken to telling people here in Japan (with a furrowed brow and a very serious look on my face):
Watashiwa nihonjindewa arimassen.
I am not Japanese.
It usually gets a quiet response for a moment as the person tries to figure what I really mean, and then when I smile, a good laugh.

Congress Assimilates, Immigrants Don't
Whilst the American people continue to sit idly by, their country is being fundamentally altered around them. No nation can survive once its borders dissolve; no culture can assimilate an ending stream of aliens who have no intention of adopting the culture of the country they are invading. More evidence of this comes from the US Congress, which conducts an ever increasing amount of business in Spanish.
It has not yet replaced English, but increasingly, Spanish is becoming a requirement to work in the halls and make laws on the floor of the US Congress.Gee, isn't that funny? Nice to see that America's legislators have no regard whatsoever for American territorial or cultural integrity.
With a few prominent senators daring to address their colleagues in Spanish, others taking Spanish lessons, and many more legislators adding Spanish speakers to their communications teams, the language spoken by the largest minority group in the United States has a solid foothold in the halls of power here.
Spanish has become so important that the Republican leader in the Senate, Bill Frist, who has presidential aspirations, began studying Spanish and dared to record in Spanish a political statement on the contentious Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), in his unmistakable Tennessee accent.
"Many politicians are studying Spanish. It is a phenomenom that reflects the demographic, cultural and political reality of the country," said Michael Shifter of Inter-American Dialogue, a Washington-based research institute.
"The trend of speaking Spanish will increase over the next few years," not only inside Congress but also in public, Shifter said.
Shifter jokes that "Soon no one will speak English in Congress."

All crop pests have natural enemies, in the shape of either other pests or diseases, says Dr Judith Pell of IACR-Rothamsted.
"The challenge with all natural enemies is to find a way of managing them to enhance their activity," she says. "They often come into the crop too late to help with pest control, or they may only exist in certain habitats."
Cereal crops dont have an aphid problem every year, so natural control must work, she adds. "Parasitic wasps and hoverflies are two beneficial insects which can have an effect. The key is to make better use of field margins, so they can help with aphid control."
Wild flower management is important. "Female hoverflies have to feed on pollen to produce eggs. So having wild flowers in margins increases hoverfly numbers."
Carabid beetles on the ground also have a role. "Establishing beetle banks is quick, easy and wont cost much. And the effect can be surprising."
The most common fungus that infects and kills aphids in the UK is Erynia neoaphidis, says Dr Pell.
"It only infects aphids and can eliminate populations at a local scale. The fungus produces infective spores that are highly mobile and carried between aphids by air currents or on beneficial insects."
Using field margins as reservoirs for the fungus is the focus of current research work and involves identifying suitable host plants and susceptible aphid species. Nettles look to be useful hosts.

Even though we finalized the lease today and I met with our interior designer, Ariel Duffy, and had another meeting with a payroll vendor, it feels like I accomplished little today.
That's far from the truth--I discussed bar build plans with the contractor, cleaned up areas of the kitchen, and started my small wares needs list--but productivity, for me, has always had its basis in product. An order comes into the kitchen, I fire it up, plate it and scrutinize the presentation before approving it for the table. Clear start, clear finish. Clearly, I need to adjust my definition of productivity and, while I'm at it, stop judging myself.
What can I say? This part of a restaurant opening--the true startup phase--is completely new to me. I've been on the opening staffs of four restaurants in my day, in both back-of-the-house and front-of-the-house positions. In all cases, I came on board in the final weeks before we unlocked the doors. Vendor contracts were signed. Suppliers in place. Decisions around design and decor, smalls wares and table settings, and menu design and service protocol were already made.
At that stage, there's an easily definable rhythm to the day as, believe it or not, the pressure of the impending grand opening focuses the mind. Where I'm at isn't exactly soft planning, but without firm dates to structure a timeline around, it's not hard planning either. Right now, the challenge for me, is to focus.
But I'm fortunate that I have a sizable support group to call on for counsel, support and advice. I risk sentimentality here, but I'd like to acknowledge the members of that group. I'll shout out to Jack, too, the finance broker without whom I wouldn't be thanking anyone on this blog. In no particular order, then:
Bill Lee, owner of Bahama Billy's, who instilled the confidence that led me to the knowledge that I'm read for this challenge.
Noel Young, who was a gale force in helping me to realize my potential.
Tim Poplar, whose leadership and friendship heavily shaped my career.
Ed Aloise, who showed me, during the years we worked together, the blueprint for operating a successful restaurant.
And the passionate, energetic Pam Kelley whose encouragement and resources have been invaluable since we returned to Manchester.
Thank you to each and everyone one of you. The more frantic things get, the more and more I hope you keep taking my calls.

It is not often that a news story combines my passions for soccer with Catholicism. So the news that New England Revolution defender Chase Hilgenbrinck has retired from Major League Soccer to join the seminary is welcome news. America may lose a defender, but the Church gains a priest.
You have to prayfully wish him well, he follows in great company. John Paul II was a goalkeeper, somewhat apt as his job was saving souls.

In Phoenix this spring we had TONS of rain. I absolutely LOVE Phoenix rain, but what I do not love is the aftermath of the rain: the weeds. Tall, ferocious, stubborn and sure to turn brown once it gets hot, the weeds come with a vengence. This year, in the new house, the weeds had quadruple the room to grow, and they did. More of this later, as this photo is merely the beginning of weed season. 3610 (missed a day)

Leaving everything behind to start a new life in Canada is a big adjustment for refugee families.
Learning a new language, adapting to the Canadian climate and finding a place to live are among the major hurdles.
Once refugees are settled, they might face another challenge some Manitoba families know all too well – finding a child care space.
As of last September, 12,729 Manitoba children were on the province's Online Child Care Registry, meaning refugee families who need child care could also have a difficult time getting it.
"They're probably going to find that there isn't the kind of child care that they're looking for," said Pat Wege, executive director for the Manitoba Child Care Association.
"From what I understand, lots of the newcomer families have many children so it can be hard to find a spot for one or two children," she said. "If you're looking for an infant, a couple of preschool spaces…school-age, it is going to be a huge problem."
Families enrolled in an English language program usually receive child care on-site as long the parents are present in class.
Wege said the challenges could arise once refugees begin to get jobs.
"It is going to be a huge problem for newcomer families to access the licensed child care system," said Wege.
Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger said his government will work refugee families.
"Where families get jobs and need daycare, we will work with them to connect with those services," said Selinger. "That's part of the coordination that we're doing in our communities."
Like other Manitobans, Selinger said refugee families will have to use the province's Online Child Care Registry if they want a spot.
"They'll have to be part of the process and some daycares have spots and some don't, but we're rolling out new ones as we speak," the premier said.
In November's speech from the throne, Selinger said his government would create an additional 12,000 child care spaces within the next five to seven years.

Just when you thought the vintage audio fad peaked comes news that legendary rapper Eminem has issued a re-release of his "The Eminem Show" album on cassette tape. This is the third album to get the re-issue – he did a similar re-release for the anniversary's of his debut The Slim Shady LP, and the certified classic The Marshall Mathers LP.
The Eminem Show was first released in 2002 making this year the 15th anniversary of the album. The cassette tape will be bundled with shirts and signed posters. The poster bundle is said to be available for $30 while the t-shirt bundle is $35. Unfortunately the bundles with both t-shirt and poster, and the bundle with the t-shirt and autographed poster have already sold out.
The offer for any bundle will expire on June 3 and shipping will take place 4-6 weeks later.
Digital Music News also reports:
The rapper also made headlines last week when he called on fans to donate money to Manchester victims. Partnering with the Manchester Evening News and the British Red Cross, the site has since raised £2,158,275 ($2,781,80.65). The JustGiving page surpassed its goal of £2 million. The site still has twenty-two days left to go.

A lot of difficulty has been experienced in differentiating between history and myth; as a result, biblical interpreters unreservedly accept the belief that Elism happened to be an ancient Yahwism since the Elohist in Ex 3:13-15, as well as the Priestly Writer in Ex 6:2-3 affirmed it so. However, a moment's reflection reveals that Yahweh and El are not similar gods since Elism and Yahwism were distinct religions, clashing mostly than being similar (Smith 17).
The initial Yahwistic traditions portray Yahweh as a bedouin war deity from the Edom deserts and of the proximate regions. His name, cultic festivities of his mighty exploits, as well as his ark, demonstrate his warlike traits. Regarding the Tetragrammaton, I assume that the ideal interpretation of the term "Yahweh" happens to be an acronym of his authoritative, longer title, "Yahweh Sabaoth," which signifies "he gathers armies." In this case, his people identify him as primarily their military commander (Austin 22).
Yahweh gets the title of a warrior in Ex 15:3; additionally, in Yahweh's cultic festivity, the Song of Deborah depicts him as a warrior. According to this dramatic description, Yahweh are a warrior who is on the move, and whose might is extremely immense that his step makes the earth tremble, the heavens quake while the mountains melt prior to his march. There is a strong connection between the ark of Yahweh and warfare; apparently, there is a belief that Yahweh seats on this moveable dias and that, from this place, he directed his troops into and from war as he acted against Jericho. Therefore, we discover the formulaic axiom where we notice military might getting glorified (Num 10:35-36). Yahweh comes back from his wins to the multitudes of militaries whom he orders.
Distinctive from the desert's savage Yahwism, a less belligerent Yahwism emerged, which likely came into Judah when migrant Hebrews shifted from the deserts thereby settling into southern Palestine. As exhibited within the Abraham customs, Yahweh is a clan deity who bears a distinctive affiliation to a clan chieftain like Abram. Additionally, the main depiction of is that of a deity who promises to grant his devotees their own land whereby they will not only live, but also prosper. This euphoric Yahwism may suitably be referred to as "Hebrew Yahwism" considering that the tern "Hebrew" originates from a root, which denotes "to cross over" (Austin 49). Apparently, the Hebrews turned out to be those Yahwists who, going along with the pioneer Abram, moved from the desert areas surrounding Judah thereby crossing over to residing there. Therefore, there is a need of differentiation Abramic Yahwism emanating from Desert or the Arabic Yahwism. According to the former faction did not receive their land by means of warfare; instead, its members settled down in vacant areas next to the indigenous populace and would time and again reside amongst them. The cultic duties of Abraham entailed little over the building of altars for making sacrifices to Yahweh. In spite of this more pacifistic Yahwism, we realize that Abram the Hebrew continued being his clan chieftain, who could marshal support from more Hebrew kinfolks as he did after gathering 318 men to save Lot. According to the trait of this migration, it appears most realistic envisaging waves of immigrants, which comprised of numerous clans, each clan having their own chieftain who jointly develop a support network, which Abram and those similar to him were capable of drawing upon when in need (Friedman 33).
In Psalm 82, El fires all his sons and condemns them into mortality. In spite of this Psalm sharing similar thoughts of El together with his sons, this folklore prevails from northern folklore thereby being different from the Jerusalem folklore present within Deut 32:8-9. According to Psalm 82, there is no explicit mentioning of Yahweh, in spite of Deut 32:8-9 positions him amongst Elyon's sons (v. 6). One marvels over what instigated such a Psalm, which shows El dooming his sons to mortality through whom he had initially maintained his reign (Friedman 62). The only occurrence, which might have prompted such an extremist idea appears to be the formation of Jeroboam's kingship. Apparently, amongst his reforms, meant to not only separate Israel from Judah, but also promote national individuality, Jeroboam I along with his court decided to declare El's resolution that the gods of other lands got condemnation to mortality thereby compelling El to reign alone. This theatrical cultic scene seems to have political implications since the arrangement that the lands under El's reign through rule via his sons was not effective anymore. As a result, El, devoid of any international intermediaries was now capable of ruling over all from Israel. Although the intention of the decree was for all the nations' gods, one discovers that the Psalm formulated its strongest stance against Judah when Jeroboam was founding an independent kingdom. Thus, it seems that there are two traditions, which define El's pantheon in the same manner, yet they get differentiated by their origin, one emanating from David's Jerusalem cult while the other coming from Jeroboam's recently renovated cult (Smith 89).
Conversely, in Psalm 29, Yahweh gets portrayed as a highly forceful god who is incapable of fitting the outline of the subsidiary god who reigned over a segment of his father's realm. Psalm 29 happens to be much nearer to Canaanite thought as compared to Psalm 82 and Deut 32:8-9. It seems like there is some variation concerning the traits of El's pantheon since one shares most of the dynamic characteristics of Canaanite mythology (Psalm 29) while the other presents the enormous administrative region of El through his sons. There are two distinctions of this same elevated god within Israelite religion; these distinctive versions of Elism depict that this god was innumerably worshipped depending on location. According to the psalm, the places named were all north of Kedesh with itself getting mentioned, and positioned in the far north of Palestine next to Dan. This place would have resulted in Yahwism having contact with Canaanite; however, this well explains its patently Canaanite attributes (Friedman 72).
The initial Oracles of Balaam present a look at other elements of pre-Yahwistic i.e. the Israelite religion. The first oracle is in Num 23:6-10, the second in Num 23:18-24, the third oracle in Num 24:3-9, while the fourth oracle is in Num 24:15-19. Here, we are extremely contending with genuine oracles, essentially uttered ahead of Joshua by Balaam, the famed Aramean seer.
Considering that Balaam appeared also within an Egyptian source, is an indication that he was an actual person with a global status for his prognostic capabilities (Elvis 44). Additionally, there is nothing within the oracles themselves that insinuates that they happen to be the result of archaizing. These oracles seem to be genuine oracles delivered in the late 13th century, in front of a faction of Israelite leaders, referred to as "The Men of Israel." Within these oracles, the name of this deity is El, Elyon, as well as Shaddai; thus the longer versions of El Shaddai and El Elyon are authentic names for the same god. Apparently, El Elyon has solid ties with Jerusalem; this is an indication that the other two designates of El and Shaddai got preferred by other factions. Jacob's encounters at Bethel, Penuel, as well as the altar Jacob, referred to as "El elohe yisra'el", are indications that the Aramean migrants referred to their god as "El," with Elyon and Shaddai being additional attributes provided to him by means of the cult (Freeman 51).
So, what concrete setting resulted in these utterances? There is little uncertainty that the speaking of these phrases took place in front of the official group of Israelite rulers. There is a possibility that these rulers contacted Balaam thereby making plans with him on when he will appear before them in order to deliver his oracles concerning Israel. Apparently, these oracles are very buoyant if not enthusiastic regarding the welfare of the nation since they give an impression that Balaam is asserting just what the rulers would like to hear since the leaders expected some sycophancy from their hired oracle (Friedman 78).
According to the Oracles, El will is not going to curse Israel; rather, he considers Israel as a blessed, special and numerous people who are to be coveted. El is famous for bringing his people from Egypt with his strong blessing over his people rendering divination and omens ineffective (Elvis 59). The historic presence of El in their lives gets portrayed by not only their previous victories, but also by the ferocity of their armies. The nationalized vitality is such that Israel aspires to get intoxicated with its victims' blood. Even the attractive physical scenery of Palestine gets alluded to as proof of El's favor. Apart from delivering a message, which appears to be intended for national pride, the third and fourth oracle of Balaam turn to politics. Here, he talks about the future that his second sight permits. He envisages a hero who will rise and become the head of a powerful kingdom; apparently, he happens to be a ferocious warrior that El has took from Egypt. This leader will rise from Jacob/Israel to lead a victorious battle against Edom, Moab and the sons of Sheth since Israel wields its strength in dominating its adversaries. The political message of Balaam is essentially favorable war oracle (Smith 102).
Based on this essay, it is clear that the gods Yahweh and El are different gods from each other. Yahweh got deified as a war god from southern Palestine deserts who migrated from north to Judah, whereas El happened to be the god of Israel with his home being Mesopotamia. According to history, these two gods should be considered as originally different, consequently related and eventually identified through political, as well as religious syncretism.

Poor old John Smit. After 77 minutes of brutal, bludgeoning Tri-Nations rugby, in his hundredth test match, his under-the-cosh side were sitting five points clear of their 2010 tormentors, the All Blacks, with the score at 22-17. Finally something was going to go right for him; his loose forwards had performed like recently-deployed exocet missiles, Morne Steyn was a dead-eye Dick with his goalkicking, and new halfback Francois Hougaard had kicked intelligently and made lots of darting runs up round the fringes, a la Fourie du Preez. They had driven the AB's back in the tackle more often than not, their scrum and line-out had stood up, and it looked for all the world like he was going to receive the ultimate party gift in front of a massive Soweto crowd of 90-odd thousand. His 2010 hoodoo was about to be broken.
And then, after 81 minutes, he was kneeling, his face in his hands, with his team on the wrong side of a 29-22 scoreline. He had the same hollow, dead eyed look that Dan Carter and Anton Oliver sported from the stands in 'that' 2007 RWC quarter-final. Good God fearing man that he is, he really must have wondered what the hell happened.
What happened, in a nutshell was, the All Blacks greatest find of 2010. Israel Dagg had come off the bench for Joe Rokocoko, and with a combination of instinct, balance and guile, contrived to break down the left flank, offload a (decidedly forward) pass to Mils Muliaina, who moved the ball swiftly back to the right in another of those sweeping movements, this time finished off in the right hand corner by outstanding captain Richie McCaw.
Or was it? Quite apart from the obvious forward pass leading up to the try, the TMO delivered (otherwise excellent) referee Nigel Owen the verdict that "there is no clear evidence that the player was in touch before grounding the ball" with seemingly indecent haste, and told him "you may award the try". Great news for the All Blacks – not so good for John Smit's party vibrations. A relatively below par Dan Carter obviously felt guilty enough about it to push the touchline conversion wide of the uprights. 22 all, which seemed like a pretty fair result for everybody involved – the AB's get the solitary point they need to claim the Tri-Nations title for the tenth time, and Smit's party, whilst not the slam dunk the Boks were hoping for, was at least not a washout…
And then, the truly extraordinary happened. From the restart the Boks claimed the ball from the air and started positioning for the inevitable drop goal, only to have their ruck blown over by the still willing All Black forwards, who swiftly got it into the hands of the cringingly so-called 'dreadlocked destroyer' Ma'a Nonu, who breezed, one booted, through the spent party boy's ineffectual tackle before offloading to young Dagg, who stepped on the gas and glided over the line to dot down. Carter clearly decided that it was now too late for party niceties, and added the conversion, and the match was over. 29-22 All Blacks.
Some good friends of mine, fellas who have known only too well the exultant highs of victory, and the miserable lows of defeat, reckon this was the most satisfying All Blacks win of the last 20 years. Certainly, if you factor everything in – Smit's 100th, the gigantic Soweto crowd, a vastly improved Boks performance, plus the fact that the AB's only needed a point to seal the Tri-Nations, it speaks volumes for this side's ticker that they hadn't given up despite looking out for the count at the 77 minute mark.
At the risk of being merely another sycophantic voice in the chorus, Richie McCaw was absolutely extraordinary. His tackling was tireless and deadly accurate, his ball carrying indefatigable, and his leadership exemplary. He has matured into one of those talismanic sportsmen who is able to bring events into actuality, seemingly solely through force of will. He is currently the most influential player in world rugby, probably the most influential of his generation. It would be entirely fitting for such a magnificent player to lead his team to a home Webb Ellis victory next year.
But then, as John Smit learned in his centurion match, as the All Blacks learned in Cardiff, things don't always pan out as you might wish them to. Sometimes you're the pigeon, sometimes you're the statue. Best, then, to just enjoy a magnificent win, in this most magnificent season. Peaking too soon – what, would you rather they had chucked in the towel at 77 minutes?
