Screensaver material. The sunsets are so gorgeous here
We were invited to the birthday party of the Branch Presidents daughter (she is turning ten). I let her pick out one of the butterflies that Janae made. We had spaghetti , macaroni salad (which is a dessert here), cake and RC Cola (about 78% carbonation, 20% aspartame, and 2% cola flavoring, haha)
Monica, Rizalyn, and Richelle (13, 14, 16 - Richelle is the one that fell asleep for three days
Some of my favorite kids here in Cuyapo - they are all Brother Rey's kids. Their names (left to right) are Patrick, Daniel, and Arjay (the little one). They are hilarious.
Family Home Evening with the Oliveros Family!
A cool lizard thing I saw. I saw a kid the other day with one - he had a string tied around its neck and was dragging it around. I think it might have been dead, haha. (He was maybe Jarom's age - the kid, that is). They are probably 6-8 inches long and like to hide in leaves.
The meeting house
Did somebody ask for a desktop background?
Sinigang! (sour soup). We had a good lunch.
Dear Family,
This week has been good! One of our investigators finally came to church! We have been teaching her since the beginning of December, and have invited her to be baptized a couple of times. She wasn't sure before if she wanted to or not, but when she was leaving the church yesterday after Sunday school, she told one of the members that she really wants to be baptized now. Everything went well – all of the members were super friendly and helpful to her, and the lesson in Sunday school happened to be all about baptism and confirmation. We have a date of Feb 26 set for her baptism, and I'm super excited to go back and teach her again this week.
Tatay Oliveros is also doing amazing – he seemed really upset and shy when we visited him last Saturday, but this week we had a home evening at their house. We played some games, had treats and shared a message. Brother Oliveros really came out of his shell and we all had a lot of fun. We gave him a whole bunch of Mentos candy, and he said he would eat one every time he felt like smoking. Yesterday at church, Sister Oliveros was very excited. She told us that Brother Oliveros had some great news for us…but that we have to wait to hear it. She says he is progressing more than he ever has before. I am pumped to see what has happened.
We gave an interesting blessing last week…I don't know if I told you about it yet. We went to visit some of the recent converts in our branch (three teenaged sisters), and were shocked when one of their cousins came running up to their house carrying Richelle (one of the sisters). She looked like she was unconscious, but when I looked closer, I saw that she was breathing. I guess that her family hadn't been able to wake her up that morning – it was like she was asleep, but couldn't be woken up by anything. I guess it had happened once before, and she was asleep for three days. We gave her a blessing, and exactly three days later, she woke up again. It was really odd. I asked her about it after, and what it felt like, and she told me that she had visited a place – like a huge field full of white flowers, and that her father and niece (both have passed away) were there, as well as a white lady that she didn't recognize. She says it was beautiful there, but that she felt scared the whole time, and that she was really tired and hungry feeling. It was interesting to hear about. The doctors can't find anything wrong with her. We're glad that she's alright though.
We found a few new investigators last week – and they are all very interested in listening to us. We have been looking for quite a while, because a lot of the investigators we have now are just not progressing. It is a blessing to have people that are willing to listen to our message. We are planning on extending some more BGDs this week.
Also, big news – next Monday when I write to you, I will have a new companion. Transfer announcements are on Wednesday. I will almost certainly be staying in Cuyapo, and I will either be getting a new senior companion or I will be training. I am happy that I get to stay here. The work is really starting to pick up, and I will probably be around in the spring when the new chapel is finished. That will be great. I am just hoping and praying for another good companion like Elder Janolgue – If I get a pasuway (disobedient) right now and all of our progress gets ruined I might feed him to the spiders in our roof, haha.
Things have really gotten a lot better in the branch too – President Toledo has been really supportive and has been helping us with fellowshipping our investigators. The members seemed to have stepped things up too. One of the area goals for the Philippines this year is for every active member to rescue at least one less-active member and return them to the church, so one of our jobs as missionaries is to help with that process. There are about 50 active members here in Cuyapo and about about 200 less actives. We have been visiting a lot of them…many left because they have no friends in the church, or because they were having trouble with Word of Wisdom things. Some of them just can't afford to get a trike to go to church every Sunday (but the money seems to magically appear when there is a Christmas party, haha). I hope that the members will be able to put out a greater effort to help these less actives return. It is so much more powerful when the members reach out.
Oh! I have an Elder Curtis Despain from Idaho in my zone – he says he has Callahans in his family tree somewhere back too. I'm pretty sure we are related somehow.
There are a lot of challenges here, but I don't think life would be half as meaningful without them. They are certainly a part of missionary work and are meant to make us better people. I've found as I work hard and trust in the lord, they aren't as bothersome, and I am able to press forward. I have learned so much, and I still have a lot more to learn in the future.
Thank you all for your letters and support. They have helped a lot. I will be printing that talk off that you sent, Mom. I'm sure it will help me a lot.
I love you all,
Love, Jared

Monday is usually when I catch up on emails and do various office tasks. I'm usually pretty assiduous about keeping up-to-date but a busy March has meant that meant that I've let things slide a bit. In fact, I've not been able to see the top surface of my desk for about 3 weeks now.
In the evening I have lessons with my three regular students, one on bass and two on guitar. My approach is to find out what the students want to acheive and then work with them to realiase this aim. I make my living out of playing guitar but most people simply need a way to express themselves musically. A rigorous approach to music theory and playing can easily 'turn off' students and be counter productive. This was the case with my most recent student who gave up learning with his previous teacher because he was acheiving what he wanted.
The great thing about the guitar is that it is a very flexible instrument and can be used for accompaniment as well as playing melodic lines. It is also very portable which perhaps explains its place as the most popular instrument of all time. Not only is it the top instrument, there are also more guitars out there than all the other types of instruments combined.
By the way, I'm registered with the Music Teachers' website which is a good place to find a instrumental teacher near you. It has a parntership deal with the Musicians' Union and supports the Musicians' Benevolent Fund.

With the long winter here in Iowa, this layout felt fresh and inviting and showed several great techniques... scissor distressing, stamping backgrounds tweaks, rainbow paper piecing and a few older techniques that work well in this layout, paper tearing and ink distressing.
The Artiste cricut cartridge was used.. page 56 accent 4 cut at 3 inches, using honey and goldrush and were lined up to allow both layers to show. A sentiment is stamped on a 1.25 circle stamped in Autumn Terracotta and adhered in the middle of the sun.
Other stamps used are the Full of Fun from the Laughing Lola WOTG and I loved the "chevrons" used on the sentiment, so the stamp set D1540 In the Background stamp set felt like a "Groovy" addition. It was stamped off to lessen the color and also smudging the ends to get rid of the blunt ends helped it to add a design element to the feature.
Colors used in this layout are Lagoon, Honey, Goldrush, Autumn Terracotta, and Cashmere. The layout is built on Colonial white cardstock.
Can't wait to see the what is created tonight by my guests! Check back tomorrow for their creations!

"We must stop Nyesom Wike and the only way we can stop him is to vote the APC in the house of representatives, house of assembly and senate. I built a secondary school and it has been taken over by weeds. It is the punishment that former President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, in her bid to get money from me, did on us. They forced Wike on us without election. In their time, they threw APC members into detention, but is there any PDP member in detention now? That's the difference between them and us. This is our opportunity to vote and put shame on them; we have to put shame on three persons: the first person is the former president, the second, is his wife and the third is Wike. The fourth is those who do not recognise the use of card reader, those who first said the magnitude of violence in Rivers was too heavy and moved the election tribunal to Abuja, but later came back to say there was no election, we leave them to God"he said

by my dearest Dreadboy :D
"This must be one the hardest descriptions that I have yet to do, because it's about a human being, rather than a lifeless gadget, and not just any human being, a lovely one. Met her quite a while ago, as a friend of an ex-girlfriend, time when I didn't get to know her, and definitely she didn't know me.
She's different that the wide majority of girls nowadays, always jolly, smiley, happy, or that's how I see her. Among the very few that do not drive me nuts, only and always complaining. She complains, but on the things that matter, not dramatizing average ignorable problems. I promised I'd do this description, when talking about how different she is, and what a good taste she has.
We were talking about clothing, yet I'm not sure she understood that I meant in good taste generally, not just limited to clothing. She has a good taste in clothing, keeping all so simple, yet with enough of an elegant touch, blended with her carefree attitude, not wearing things like they're borrowed or expecting them to last a lifetime.
She is a lady, acts and speaks, yet she's not pretentious like one. All in all, I think I would define good taste by not exaggerating anything, as well as not undervalue the simple pleasures of life. Lastly, she is very dear to me, she's cute and loveable, huggable, adorable, especially since confident enough to know she is, and still appreciate and get all giggly when told so."

ASUS P8Z77-V Deluxe (Intel Z77) Motherboard Review
Today we start the long and extensive task of working our way through the mountain of Intel Z77 Express based motherboards that we've been collecting since February. While we could've officially started covering them earlier in the month when the Z77 chipset launched we would've been restricted to testing on the current crop of Sandy Bridge CPUs.
Since we thought that the only way to really test the new Z77 chipset was with the new Ivy Bridge CPU, we figured we'd just wait till the official launch later in the month to test the motherboards.
The first of the boards to come off the pile is the one we used in our Intel i7 3770k launch review. The ASUS P8Z77-V Deluxe is going to be the first board off the ranks and will follow our typical motherboard review line up.
Since this isn't a board we've looked at in any detail yet we're going to start off with a look at the package. Once we've done that we'll move onto the board itself to see what exactly is going on with the design and feature side of things with the P8Z77-V Deluxe.
Once we've done that we'll get into the BIOS and see what's going on there before we look at our testbed and then cover the overclocking side of things before we get into the performance side of things to find out just what the P8Z77-V Deluxe is capable of.
Opened up we can see some of the main features that the board offers while at the same time we're able to get our first look at the motherboard itself.
Moving inside the package we've got the user guide and driver CD along with six SATA cables, SLI bridge, EZ Connectors, Wi-Fi GO! header and the I/O panel. Along with all that we've also got two wireless antennas to round out the package and help make sure you get the best possible wireless signal.

The stupid air quality is still as bad, no improvement at all. By looking at the quality of our air, I can safely assume the fire is still burning strong over at Cyberjaya. Hence, my colleague and I decided to order McDonald's for lunch.
Since I am the one who suggested, I should be the one who make the order and pay FIRST. I called the delivery, ordered my food, bla bla bla, check my purse for money, OMG I have only RM10 left! I quickly make my way to the Bumiputra Commerce Bank downstairs to use their ATM to withdraw some dough.
Just I have inserted my card in, I felt something is wrong. True enough, the blardy machine wasn't responding. Blardy, they blardy ATM is hungrier than I am, it has swallowed my blardy ATM card.
I went into the bank, talk to one of their HELPFUL (not) teller.
Me: Encik, the ATM machine has swallowed my ATM card
Teller: (without much expression) er, that, kita tak boleh buat apa-apa (er, we can't do anything)- WTF??!!
(I gave him an annoyed look, come on, I only have RM10 in my purse, and my ATM card has been detained, what do you expect me to feel?!)
Me: Then how?
Teller: (Gave me this "are you stupid" kind of look) er, memang tak boleh buat apa-apa, kita tak ada kunci, kena tunggu Securiorforce punya orang datang, dia orang baru ada kunci, lepas itu, send card ke issuing branch, then mereka akan call you. (We can't do anything, have to wait for the Securiorforce people to come, they are the one with the key, when they come, after they retrieve the card, the card will be sent to the issuing branch and someone will contact you.)- WTF???
Me: Hurh? you mean you guys don't have keys?
Teller: Er, tak ada la, kita outsource kepada dia orang. (Nope, we outsource it to them) - WTF??? Although you outsource, you SHOULD blard hold a spare key lerh, in case of EMERGENCY like this!
Me: When are they coming?
Teller: Tak tau (don't know)
Me: Can't you call them and ask???
Teller: Nope, tak boleh! (can't do) - WTF!
Me: Then how am I going to withdraw money??
Teller: You ada passbook tak? (Do you have your passbook with you?)
Me: No, who would bring their passbook with them anywhere?
Teller: Macam tu, tak boleh lah (In this case, can not!) - SHIT that blardy teller didn't even offer me other alternatives, like ask me whether my saving account is a passbook saving, which you need your passbook to withdraw money OR statement saving, which means you don't need a passbook to withdraw money. Everything can't do anything, don't know don't know!!!
Me: Shit la, like that how?
Teller: Huh, Shit???
Me: Ya lah, shit la!! Your blardy ATM just swallowed my ATM card, and I need to withdraw money urgently, what do you expect? (walk out the bank angrily....)
I later call the branch to report on this, the head of ATM was nice enough, she told me I don't have to cancel my card (If I were to cancel it, I'll need to the original issuing branch (which is nowhere near my damn office), collect my card, wait for 2 weeks for the pin to be sent to my house), instead wait for the Securiorforce people to come. They'll retrieve the card, and return it to me - Shit, this wasn't conveyed to be by the blardy teller. Blardy! All along I thought I'll be ATM cardless for at least 2 blardy weeks!!!
Blardy!! What kind of blardy service is that??? Apparently, many people had lodged complain on that particular machine and those idiot bank people refused to do anything, damn it, at least leave a note there saying the blardy thing is faulty! DAMN IT! those lazy bastards are afraid that after putting the sign, people will come swarming in with their passbook to withdraw money. Like that, they'll be damn busy, no time to chit chat among each other and no time to take ciggie break!
Lazy bastards!

He has said before that he wouldn't do it unless we had enough votes, so it's sounding good!! Governor Cuomo has sent the marriage bill to the senate for a vote. We heard earlier today that Republican Senator Alesi predicts the bill will pass with 35 votes. Included in the bill is a religious exemption that "guarantees that religious institutions and benevolent organizations such as the Knights of Columbus remain free to choose who may use their facilities for marriage ceremonies and celebrations or to whom they provide religious services, consistent with their religious principles." I think that's fine. Who the hell wants to get married somewhere that doesn't want them anyway. This is very exciting news. Call your senator NOW and push this through. HERE is contact info.

Since I had to unplug every thing from my Shunyata Hydra 8 in order to re-route them to the Richard Gray, I decided to just do a comparison - whether my Pass Labs monoblocks sound better with a power line conditioner or plugged directly to the wall.
20 minutes later, I had to unplugged them from the wall socket. The sound quality was much better with them getting their juice from either the Shunyata Hydra 8 or the Richard Gray Substation. Plugging them to the wall gave a sound that was grainy, edgy and pinched. The sound also went slightly whitish. The sound was also not appreciably more dynamic, thus giving no evidence that their current was strangled before. I got much less enjoyment listening to music and lost interest quickly.
Richard Gray called the combo evaluated here the "IsoGray" system. It consisted of a RGPC SubStation and a RGPC 400 Pro.
The idea behind the SubStation was similar to the Torus RM8A that impressed me so much recently and was now used by Big E in his system. Under the SubStation's skin was basically a massive isolation transformer that output balanced, clean power to your equipment. The SubStation was heavy (70lb/32kg), but possible to be moved around by 1 person. Moving the Torus for more than a few steps, on the other hand, was a 2-person job. You do get a bigger chunk of metal based on what you pay - the SubStation's list price was RM13k while the Torus was last known to list for RM18k. The SubStation's benefits included total isolation, surge suppression and ground loop removal. Interestingly, the SubStation came with its captive power cord for the wall, thus saving you some dosh from having to acquire an aftermarket power cord.
The 400 Pro, on the other hand, used a choke that ran in parallel to the AC line. Richard Gray said that it could eliminate AC line noise, surges and spikes with no limiting of current. The 400 Pro weighed 30lbs and listed for slightly below RM5k.
Richard Gray recommended that the 2 products be daisy chained together - the SubStation plugged into the wall socket, and the 400 Pro went into one of the SubStations' 4 outlets. This configuration was called the 'IsoGray' System. Components that have high current draw, such as amplifiers, were to be plugged directly into the SubStation, while the frontends and pre-amp should go into the 400 Pro.
And that was how I set it up - the monoblocks went into the SubStation and the CD player and pre-amp went into the 400 Pro.
The IsoGray system sounded pretty fine straight out of the box, I could really sense a 'cleanness' in the sound, especially compared to having the monoblocks plugged into the wall. However, the sound quality fluctuated over the next few days, showing a certain stridency. Then the quality picked up again and stabilized.
The SubStation got out of my system for a couple of weeks as CMY, the local distributor, needed it for the KLIAV show. When it came back, I did not hear appreciable quality shift anymore.
Thus installed, the IsoGray system was excellent in lowering the noise floor, each instrument and voice was portrayed on a starkly black background. Subtleties in the music were preserved, in fact I could discern more low level details from the music. Take for example the opening of the track "You don't have to say you love me" on Shelby Lynne's CD, "Just a little lovin' " (Lost Highway 0602517448254), I was certainly impressed by Lynne's voice - out of darkness, her voice emerged, surrounded by air and illumination, then you hear the echo, finally each phrase subsided with a smooth decay into darkness again. Cool, I never heard this so clearly conveyed before in my system.
Overall, the IsoGray system conveyed a robust, big-hearted and powerful sound. It did not veer towards the refinement of the Torus and, to a lesser extent, that of the Shunyata Hydra. But this is not a criticism, it was just a different take. I think real sound was not always smooth, and the texture that the IsoGray conveyed was probably more truthful and natural. One thing was sure, do not expect the Richard Gray duo to polish up your sound for you.
Highs with IsoGray were clear, clean and extended, it was definitely not dark, nor did it stand out at the expense of the other spectrums. One could hear lots of details in cymbal and high hats, for example. The mids was poised and mature, again its clarity and details seem to be the main strength. Out of all this, the IsoGray system did not attempt to seduce you with a honey coat or some pretty colour. I got a feeling that it just subtly stepped aside, allowing your equipment to come to the fore to do their stuff. In fact, I found attributing any character to the IsoGray was very difficult.
Bass through the IsoGray was tight, punchy and much better defined. In contrast, bass from my Hydra 8 was a bit more warmish, and a bit fatter. From the Shelby Lynne CD's title track "A little lovin' ", the drums was impactful, focused, had lots of details, and went down low, it was done excellently.
And amidst all these excellence, the IsoGray system did not impede the conveyance of the emotion and spirit in the music. It did not 'wear its heart on the sleeves' as such though. Instead I found the IsoGray system's emotional portrayal mixed with its technical prowess refreshing and honest. The music did connect with me, and the listening sessions were always satisfying, many a time my listening stretched into the wee hours of the night way past my normal bed time.
On the other hand, my Shunyata Hydra 8 did milk the emotional content of music more effectively, the visceral connection with music via the Hydra 8 was a tad more. However, it was also a slightly less tidy portrayal compared to the IsoGray system, I could detect a certain brightness and hash on occasions during bad electricity time. Again, you have to match these virtues and draw backs to your system according to your preference and the depth of your pocket. :-)
One thing was quite sure, the IsoGray system was more effective in cleaning up the nasties in the power supply compared to my Hydra 8. There was much less sound quality variance between the bad electricity time at my place (7pm-midnight) and the better time (1am onwards and the mornings).
The power cord used to connect in-between the 400 Pro and the SubStation could make a difference. I changed the stock 20A cord to my Shunyata Python Helix 20A, and the sound immediately gained in stature, music was conveyed with more power and the soundstage expanded, there was slightly more smoothness. The effect was beneficial, so that was another upgrade possibility.
The complaint I had was the fact that these Richard Gray products' design require the power cord to be connected via the top, thus placing them on my equipment rack was an impossibility.
Well, if you are already in the Richard Gray camp, using their RGPC400/600/1200, you have a natural upgrade step. Adding the SubStation to move to the IsoGray status is a no-brainer.
If you are just looking for an excellent power line conditioner, please add IsoGray to your investigation list.
This is a system that could speak your music's mind and soul.

Long story short, one of my very most favorite great-uncles played a trick on me and two of my cousins when we were camping many years ago. The trick was heavily influenced by our love of, and fascination with, that most interesting of all fluids . . .
(Long story long, you can skip to the end of the post, where I've printed the story in its entirety, more for my own personal family history than for any other reason.)
Interestingly enough, as these photos of my niece demonstrate, this fascination and love is alive and well in the next generation.
Good times.
The Story of Uncle Scott and the Pine Gum
-written by Charlotte Corry, July 2001
I was probably somewhere between the ages of ten and fourteen years old, and I was at the Corry reunion again. I spent most of my time at these reunions hanging around with two cousins my age, Julie, and Michelle. We would roam all around the camp, pretending we were this or that, and having a great time. One thing that particularly interested us were the many pine trees in the camp. We would get little cups, and go around taking the sap from the tree trunks and adding it to our cups.
At some point, Uncle Scott noticed us, and told us he could teach us how to make chewing gum out of the pine sap. We were all ears, and all eyes, as he demonstrated. First he took a goodly amount of pine sap, put it in a water-filled container, and boiled it over the fire for a little while. Then (and he did this extremely quickly), he took the sap out of the container, popped it in his mouth, chewed it furiously, and the next thing we knew, he was pulling a string of white gum out of his mouth--gum that looked very much like the kind you would buy at any convenience store.
Well, we were VERY excited! We immediately went out to gather the cleanest pine sap that we could find. We came back, and Uncle Scott supervised us as we boiled it in water, just as he had. When he finally said that it was ready, Michelle and I popped it in our mouths (Julie had braces at the time, and so wasn't able to join us in this part), and began to chew furiously, wondering how long it would be until we had white spearmint-flavored gum as well. The pine gum was AWFUL--at least as awful as you might expect pine gum to be. It stuck to our teeth, and ingrained its flavor into our tongue, and still we chewed and chewed, checking every minute or so to see if it was changing its properties. To our dismay, the gum stayed the same dirty yellow color, with the same piney-awful flavor. Had we not seen Uncle Scott's performance earlier, we surely would have started to doubt--but we couldn't deny that we had SEEN this method work, less than an hour previous.
I don't remember how long Uncle Scott let us carry on in this matter--it seems like it was quite a long time, but finally, he pulled us aside, and told us of his secret. He had hidden a little piece of Wrigley's Spearmint gum in a corner of his cheek, and exchanged that for the pine sap during his little demonstration. Of course, our gum would NEVER turn to spearmint gum, any more than his had.
Upon hearing this, Michelle and I immediately spit out the pine gum, and tried to do whatever we could to get the taste out of our mouths (nothing worked, and I had the unpleasant sensation of pine gum in my mouth for several more days). Julie, who had originally felt very disappointed that she hadn't been able to chew the gum with us, spent a fair amount of time giving us good-natured ribbing about the whole situation. And Uncle Scott? He just laughed and laughed. In later years, whenever he and I would start to reminisce about past reunions and past experiences, I would throw that one up at him, and tease him about what a mean trick that was to play on three trusting nieces. He would get a mischievous smile on his face, and begin to laugh until (often) tears would come out of his eyes as he would describe those little girls, chewing and chewing that nasty gum.

Coaxial Hat
Downloadable pattern
Downloadable pattern
My sister-in-law requested a hat because she is always cold, but as a stylist she can't afford to wear a warm hat that messes up her "do", especially at work. The hat is designed with extra ease and slouch, so as not to crush her perfectly coiffed curls, but the double-layer slip stitch pattern provides extra warmth.
Most any wool or wool-blend worsted weight yarn would work well in this hat pattern - don't be afraid to combine two different yarns to get the color combination that makes you happy. An indie-dyed vibrant yarn would look great against a dark commercial yarn, or maybe two small skeins of hand-spun!
The hat is worked from the brim to the crown in the round using a ribbed brim and an all-over two-color slip stitch pattern. Crown decreases are worked withing the slip stitch pattern. The design is both written and charted. These instructions do not recommend a particular method for knitting in the round.

Joomla Component Customization
Budget $30-250 USD
We have a site that uses Joomla 1.0. The site is based on a template. On the site frontpage, we have the component (hotornot2)[url removed, login to view]
[url removed, login to view]
We need a person to change the layout of the design and some minor changes of the functionality of the component. One of the main things is that we need a different look for it, this will involve some creativity and possibly photoshoping on your part. We have the basic design that we want.
Other things that we would like to change:
- make it random images
- change pics of the rating meter
-please note that you have flexibility on some of the colors, and design. Our goal for this component is to make it somewhat humorous and presentable to young users.
This project is fairly simple to do if u know how joomla is setup.
We have another part that we need done, so winner will most likely be selected to complete that project as well if they choose.
The Budget for this about $60.

- By Joy Johnston, Cox Media Group National Content Desk
A Snapchat video of a man walking a kangaroo on a leash down a residential street in Detroit has gone viral.
WJBK said a street sign and the Snapchat's location stamp verify the bizarre incident took place in Detroit. Many commenters on social media wondered how a person could obtain a kangaroo.
The Detroit Free Press confirmed with the Detroit Zoo that no kangaroos were missing from its facility. Several Facebook commenters pointed out that the man in the Snapchat video looks like the man who operates the Exotic Zoo, a Detroit organization that leads exotic animal programs at area schools.
Tuesday afternoon, mlive confirmed that the "dude with the kangaroo" was actually Javon Stacks with Exotic Zoo. Stacks told mlive that the kangaroo was in the neighborhood for a birthday party. He referred to his organization as a "mobile zoo" that brings wildlife encounters to kids in the inner city.

The first time I came into 'contact' with this book was in 2011, when the new English teacher decided to read us a passage on the fourth page, written from Death's perspective:
Of course, an introduction.A beginning.
Where are my manners?
I could introduce myself properly, but ti's not really necessary. You will know me well enough, and soon enough, depending on a diverse range of variables. It suffices to say that at some point in time, I will be standing over you, as genially as possible. Your soul will be in my arms. A colour will be perched on my shoulder. I will carry you gently away.
I remember being enthralled and intrigued, and floored by the idea of using Death as the narrator, and that day, for some odd reason, has left an imprint on my mind. However, I didn't know the name of the book, and even years after buying The Book Thief and knowing that it was that book, nothing spurred me to open and patiently sit down to read it.
Let me just say this; it has been one long year since I've read a book in one sitting, and I have never been moved enough by a book to cry. But, by the time I reached the end of the novel, it was two o'clock in the morning and I was bawling in bed, snivelling miserably over my torn up heart.
Don't be fooled; this book is a Holocaust book, among the hundreds of hundreds written on this grave subject. Obviously this informs the emotional impact this book has even before you've opened it, but Zusak utilizes this to his advantage, creating characters so vivid and so occupied (at times) by events and circumstances other than the Holocaust that when the final punch of death is thrown, it is an absolute knock-out.
While Liesel Meminger is the protagonist, the two characters whose loss I could not bear were Hans Hubermann and Rudy Steiner.
Her father Hans, without revealing too much, was the most perfectly flawed man I've ever read. This is hugely due to the way Zusak juxtaposed his descriptions of Hans as a gentle, almost heroic figure against Hans' actions, which betray him as a man whose kindness trumps everything else, even survival.
Perhaps this is what made Zusak depict Hans as the man with silver eyes; capable of melting into pools of glinting liquid to flinty, impenetrable walls of argent. He references Hans' eyes so much, that the image of those eyes will forever be burned into my mind, particularly due to the way Liesel seemed to be entrapped in her father's pools that he called eyes.
The only other character that made his impact on me was Rudy Steiner, Liesel's best friend. Now this was a character full of purpose, life and indomitable vivacity. He seems to surpass all sense of moral responsibility; even his ventures in stealing are written with a distinct sense of thrill and desire. Liesel, often too boyish to be distinctly imagined as a standard, weak and poor little girl is complemented by Rudy's intense and voraciously boyish attitude. It's what ties them together, intertwines their stories and lifts the book from just a Holocaust novel to a piercing tale of endless desire.

The long-standing business practice of strategic planning is becoming more difficult because of rapid changes in the work environment and growing complexities in the workforce. And those developments are affecting HR even as its role in strategic planning may expand with the rising importance of human capital issues.
Part of the planning and implementing of strategy is to try to understand the future, particularly the implications of future developments for various aspects of the business. Many companies do this by exploring so-called alternative futures, which may emphasize different aspects of the world, depending on the business.
Energy companies, for example, may use scenario planning based on alternative visions of the future environment, ecosystems, and access to renewable and nonrenewable resources. A high-tech company, on the other hand, may focus on alternative views of computer usage or access, or the potential development of key technologies. A health care provider may focus on demographic changes that could lead to new patient needs.
The use of scenario planning as an aspect of corporate planning is often limited to the business environment and does not emphasize the importance of understanding the future workforce. Here, then, is an obvious way for HR to contribute to long-range strategic planning—leading the thinking on the future of the organization's workforce.
Moreover, if planning and strategy are two elements in a continuous process affecting how organizations respond to changes in the business environment day after day, HR's role in strategic planning may become even more important. HR will be central to understanding the future of an asset that is increasingly important to the organization—the intellectual and productive capacity of its workforce. HR will also play a central role in harnessing this capacity to contribute to
both aspects of the strategic planning process.
On the planning side, the complexity of the work environment may mean that far more information will be required to understand and envision potential futures. Employees are likely to possess much of this information, and HR is likely to be actively involved in creating the means of communicating this knowledge effectively up the chain of command.
In addition, implementing strategy will involve creating a broader awareness among employees of the organization's potential futures, and this will involve creating effective channels of communication from the top down.
Finally, HR will also be responsible for implementing the workplace policies and processes that enable employees to use this information for considering the long-term implications while also responding to today's challenges.

FM music people wish to hear; Wish FM lets them watch too
It took only a year of on-road broadcast to get people addicted to the fine music played over 107.5, otherwise known as Wish FM. Now that it has built a strong following and marked its niche in the music scene, the station takes a huge step into the limelight as it announced its grand TV launch on Monday, March 28, 2016.
Now, 1075 Wish FM will not only deliver inspiring music, it will also be featured as a visual radio presentation onscreen UNTV Life, showcasing the technology in the roving radio station and providing a refreshing and must watch live on air performances around the metro.
With a pilot episode that will start at 4:30pm at UNTV Channel 37, four of its amazingly pretty, lively and extremely charismatic DJ's namely, DJ Jelly Kiss, DJ Leigh, DJ Faye and DJ Alice will deliver a fantastic entertainment program that is expected to do more than bring back the glory days of the FM radio.
DJ Jelly Kiss, who will be the main host of the FM TV program, gave her promise that people will see how differentiated these amazing angels are on the airwaves. Together with equally as pretty and as eloquent DJs, she will provide the voice and the life of the party for Wishclusive, Wish Happenings, Wish Updates, Wish Lounge, and other feature programs for television.
The radio is known as the country's trailblazer in the radio industry, broadcasting live on board the Wish FM Bus and traversing the main thoroughfares of the metro area to give listeners and travelers alike all fresh cuts and music covers by some of the country's top performers.
The station has become a favorite among passenger car drivers, housewives, schools, offices, restaurants and other venues as the only station they tune into because of the lineup of songs they can play while doing day to day tasks without the heavily heart-pumping, crazy beat of highly metallic sounds. The radio plays songs that are easy to listen to or sing along, thus, more and more people are tuning into it.
Keeping up with the identity that it began to convey since its first broadcast, the program gave listeners the kind of programming they Wish for, including public service where individual wishes are given reality.
The station will be broadcasting in different locations so that more and more people will see the performers live and also how the program is carried out.
The Fastest Rising Radio Station in the country recently held an awards night at the Araneta Coliseum where they gave not just trophies to the winning performers, but also cash giveaways to the choice recipients of the winners.
This is not the first time that UNTV did something to fulfill its goals of featuring intelligent alternatives to the usual programs that are seen on TV but it's definitely the most creative, people will easily welcome the idea and be transformed by the positive messages that the program passes on.

Mercedes "baby" Gullwing to rival Porsche 911?
Mercedes Considering Smaller SLS-based Porsche 911 Rival?
The 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is barely on the global scene and already there are whispers about a possible smaller SLS derivative to do battle with the Porsche 911. The current $300,000-plus, 571-horsepower SLS AMG could only be seen as a potentially competiting against the highest-end models of the 911 range, like the GT2.
But a smaller, lighter, slightly less powerful car could tackle the more mainstream realm of the high-end sports car arena head on. Or at least that's what Mercedes-Benz executives are thinking according to a report from an SLS AMG launch event in California.
The executive put the timing of such a car at least five years out, however, leaving much room for changes in course and outright reversals. Even if it is too early to start counting this chicken as hatched, it's an intriguing idea: a seriously sporting, powerful, competitively priced Mercedes. Currently, Mercedes' offerings are mostly limited to two of those three characteristics at any one time.
If it does come along, it could get its motivation from a 5.8-liter variant of the 6.2-liter engine that powers the SLS AMG. With the typical high-tech addition like direct injection and cylinder deactivation, the car might me able to compete on fuel efficiency as well as power. Output of such an engine would likely be tuned to span the 350-500 horsepower range, much like the 3.8-liter turbocharged and naturally-aspirated flat sixes of its ostensible rival, the Porsche 911.
There's also been previous talk of a potential Black Series SLS AMG, which would push power well beyond the 600-pony mark, and lift the SLS even further into true supercar territory.

Rumormill: Mercedes considering more affordable "baby" SLS AMG gullwing?
The folks over at Mercedes appear to be pretty excited about their newest supercar. For starters, the SLS AMG Gullwing is the first ever home-grown AMG supercar, and it replaces the ho-hum McLaren SLR. And of course, the nearly $200,000 German hot rod comes equipped with retro-tastic gullwing doors and a 6.2-liter V8 capable of 563 horsepower and 0-60 mph times of 3.8 seconds both of which we certainly like. But will the SLS AMG be the one-and-only purpose-built vehicle to come from Mercedes' performance group? We kinda doubt it, and so do the scribes over at PistonHeads.
While attending the SLS drive event in Monterey, California, the PistonHeads crew spoke off-the-cuff with company execs who said that an additional AMG model could be in the works. We already know that a convertible version of the SLS is in the works, and a Black Series and dedicated racing version have also been mooted. However, the rumored second AMG Pistonheads is speaking about could be a Porsche 911 hunter based off of the same platform of the SLS AMG, with a front engine layout and smaller overall proportions. Further speculation is that the smaller, presumably less expensive SLS sibling would also carry a V8 engine between 5.8 and 6.2 liters with direct injection and cylinder shutoff tech.
If a smaller, lighter AMG model sounds good to you and you can afford the presumably high price tag, we hope you have some patience. The same executive who spilled bean on the possible smaller AMG also stated that such a car isn't likely to see the light of day for another five years

This will be quite interesting. Porsche's 911 hasn't had a serious rival since Ferrari started to price their cars a notch higher back in the '70s and '80s. The R8 isn't exactly a rival and lands itself in between the Carrera and the Turbo. And the Nissan GT-R is a Datsun. So, this would be quite interesting!

hope they design it right and put in all the frills one need in that segment. the 911 is a serious car and people will expect a lot from the baby gullwing.

Unions and the Fallacy of Composition
Responding to this post by Adam Ozimek , I left the following long comment:
I'm gone a month and you're back to union-bashing. Do I really need to keep pointing out the obvious? Economists don't agree on the efficiency issues related to unions, and for good reason. Let me quote the offending paragraph:
"On the other hand, fairness and welfare can also be at odds. For instance, many people may find it unfair when businesses to not share quasi-rents with their employers, and may encourage, both through market and non-market means ranging from protests, to private demand for goods from "fair" goods, to demanding outright regulation or labor cartelization. However, those quasi-rents may be the incentives that businesses need in order to start up the business in the first place, so that the demand that businesses share them (again, this can be market or non-market) may lead to less business creation in the long-run. Here, people's sense of fairness produces inefficient outcomes: workers capturing quasi-rents may be made better off, but the business owners lose that transfer and future business owners and workers are hurt by less business creation. In short, wealth is destroyed."
This paragraph is wrong; the ol' fallacy of composition, once again. First off, the union action literally can't destroy the incentive to start a business; the business doesn't exist yet. While the union should only lay claim to part of the surplus; a strategy to lay claim to all or more than all the surplus would not be incentive compatible. In fact ANY strategy which would drop the firm below the owner's level of reservation profits would not be incentive compatible for the union. An efficient union would thus drive its share right up to this boundary. Workers themselves would also need to be compensated for being in the union; if everyone's reservation wages/profits are being driven by the "market" – perhaps imagine unions bidding for workers – so that the marginal worker's value is their marginal improvement to bargaining position – and the owners their reservation profits equal their market wages. In this case, everyone is earning their shapley value – it takes a lot of assumptions to get this, but I don't care if its true in the real world, I have a point to make.
Now, read Rajan/Zingales (one of my favorites). The point which is important here is that RZ assume that everyone in a firm is earning their shapley value. This is a little strange for them, since the coalition is only equal to the firm in equilibrium; otherwise the coalitions are just "cliques" in which access to the firm's capital is being granted to the workers, or not. The point is that when workers receive their shapley value, they will maximize their relationship specific investment (in the data of course, relationship specific investment wouldn't show up as "investment", but as "technology" – because it includes things like developing… anything… that makes an individual worker more efficient at a given level of capital).
There are a couple of points which any economist should recognize:
1) The firm has less financial capital for investment – it's investment will fall – this means that the firm will eventually "die" or "die" sooner, more likely. This is, I believe, part of your point.
2) The pace of technological progress should be higher from the higher level of relationship specific investment.
3) The economy's total savings falls only to the extent that workers save less than the firm.
4) Since firms are generally borrowers and workers savers – the savings rate for the economy might actually rise.
5) So, there is nearly as much, or perhaps more financial capital in the economy available for investment – as I said, fallacy of composition.
6) So, wealth accumulation is just as fast, or faster under the efficient union equilibrium.
This is only comparing the "efficient union" equilibrium to the non-union equilibrium. So this is all true in theory, but how do you get to the efficient union equilibrium? The efficient union has to be a cartel when dealing with management, but is competitive when dealing with workers. Meh, I'm a theorist, so don't bother me with practical questions. The point is only that you may have the wrong sign for the effect. In defense of my little model, though, every prediction it makes has come true since the era of deunionization began: fall in technological progress? check. rise in business saving/investment? check. fall in personal saving? check. fall in wages? check. No, I don't think this is the correct explanation for any of these, but I do get all the right signs.
Now, to add "fairness" back into the mix; to the extent that workers are interested in (and accurately perceive) fairness, they will, on the margin, be more willing to accept lower wages than the "efficient union" equilibrium I assumed above. This will mean that the firm (individually) would have a higher level of investment. To make a long story short: this is a bad example of fairness causing inefficiency. Also, as an aside, this is one more reason that "be nice to business" makes for really bad macroeconomic policy – I'm talking to you, Republicans!

A Queenstown teen driver crashed a vehicle into a stone wall and high-voltage power box after falling asleep at the wheel, police say.
Senior Sergeant Glenn Wilkinson said the 17-year-old male was driving along Gibbston Highway (SH6) with two passengers at 4.30am on Friday when the accident happened.
He said the driver had travelled from Lake Tekapo - a three- to four-hour journey.
He reminded all drivers to take care on the roads.
''Fatigue can be a real issue, especially on long journeys.
''Drivers should take regular stops - this could have been a lot worse.''

Twitter is preparing to launch the bookmarking feature that will allow users to save tweets for later reading, a Twitter product manager announced today.
Product manager Jesar Shah stated that Twitter started working on a Save for Later feature. Using this addition, users can keep separate list of items in which they can preserve their tweets for later reference, instead of using the heart button.
Many users "especially in Japan" was requesting for this feature to easily and privately save Tweets for later, according to Shah.
Twitter's other employees, including new hired Sriram Krishnan, who is a senior director of product also noted Twitter's plans for this new feature.
Shah said that, users uses many ways to privately save tweets to reference later, like bookmarking them with the heart, DM-ing them to themselves, or even they re-tweet them.
These methods are not ideal as they're not as fast as just clicking a button to save the tweet, with the exception of the "heart" feature.
Twitter is not the first that is updating feed with a save button, Facebook has already launched its bookmarking tool some years ago.
Twitter's bookmarking feature will come under the tweet's "More" menu, where users can tap to a new "Add to Bookmark" option. But after release, this design could change by the time.
Twitter will build the new bookmarking feature with the help and feedback of community. It is not clear that when this tool will roll out or who will be able to test it. But according to a Twitter spokesperson, the company will launch it publicly soon.

1 placemat, 3 different ways
Sewing placemats is not difficult but the jury's still out on which way is the most aesthetically pleasing.
Bias tape, top stitch or nothing.
Pretty fabrics lead to pretty projects and this fabric isn't really doing it for me. Something about the lime green is throwing me off, which in turn is throwing off the way I'm viewing the end product. You didn't know it was possible to over think a placemat, did you? Anywho, it doesn't really matter. They're just placemats. For the kids. Who are pretty easy to please.
I made these on the smaller side - 11" by 14" because they are for the kids. I didn't want them to be too thick but I used a layer of thin fleece in the middle, which should help with spills.
That's all I've got for now...

I like the middle one the best. Very cute!

I like all three, depending on the fabric. I agree, this is a bit "neon". I think the bias works with a lighter fabric and darker bias. The other two look nice, just depends on the fabric pattern (if striped not sure about the outside stitch...)
Great job on all of them, and love the tip about the fleece in the middle!!!

I just found your blog the other day through another blog I read (though I couldn't tell you which--I'm mostly bedridden due to medical problems so I am an avid blog reader). I like the one in the middle best, but they are all nice. I wish I could sew! :) Happy Thursday!

I like the bias tape one best. Did you use interfacing at all inside?
I like sewing too and made some place mats recently as well:

I didn't use any interfacing. I didn't have any - well, I did but it was thick (for bags or quilting.) I just checked yours out - adorable!

I have tried something down here in NZ this time, I hadn't done before - I have played tennis!
Well, played might actually be a little bit too much said, but at least I have been on the court, hitting a few balls!
I have been reluctant to try for a very long time, although I have had plenty of opportunities. I always thought I wasn't going to be able to even get the ball over the net. I thought you had to be a lot more strong and fit to play tennis, than what I am.
But no, I actually didn't do too bad!
So, now I have decided to get signed up for tennis lessons as soon as we get back to Brunei! I seem to really enjoy it, and I think it will be a perfect way of getting fit and staying in shape - while having fun!
On another fitness note, I was offered to come with Grandma to her spin-fit class this morning. I should have gone of course (all in line with my new regime, trying out new things, keeping fit) but I didn't.
I didn't for the simple reason that I didn't want everybody to know that I'm not even half as fit as my mother-in-law... ;) She is one tough cookie you know - spin-fit class this morning, and this afternoon she was out water skiing!

I realize that I've already written something for today, however,
I just have to share this.
I was surfing my blog profile. Didn't know I could do that.
Noticed under "Favorite Movies" that the little pointer thing turns into a
hand. Curious as ever, I clicked on it to see what would happen, wouldn't you??
What pops up was a list of folks that listed the same thing as me. I guess
that is to help connect people with similar tastes ...like a dating agency?
I had clicked on 7 Brides for 7 Brothers. Love those "Sabin Women!" , anyway,
listed is their "interests"... taking a gander at what people like, my eyes
widened a bit with the logic line on this one ...get this ... this person likes
"Jesus, writing, God" ..etc..so far..so good,
then not too far from that I read, "hate, pain and things that go "Boom".
Wow! What a jump. And this person likes to write? I have to wonder,
"about what?" Any ideas????? *grin*

Votes for 16-year-olds got blocked without a vote after Tory MPs spoke for ages
Labour accused them of using out-of-date Parliamentary rules to ensure the move would be blocked today.
The move would have been made law through a backbench Bill by Labour MP Jim McMahon.
It was the second on the list in a five-hour debating slot today.
But out-of-date Commons rules – which Tories have refused to change – say any Friday law should be shelved if it doesn't get to a vote by 2.30pm.
So by total coincidence, several Tory MPs spoke for ages in favour of the first law of the day, a popular bid to force police to wear body cameras when they restrain people.
Between them, five Tories spoke for 95 minutes – each droning on for longer than the first Bill's author Steve Reed.
That meant there was just an hour and 28 minutes left by the time it got to the Votes at 16 Bill.
Labour had the 100 MPs needed to force a vote through a "closure motion", aiming to stop Tories from filibustering.
But it didn't work because the debate was so short and the subject so important, Deputy Speaker Eleanor Laing ruled it wouldn't be right to force a vote so soon.
So right now, 1.5 million young people in the UK still don't have a say in their future because they can't vote. This just isn't right. Sign our petition and tell the government it's time for votes at 16.

Glad to see the Lebron endorsement is out of the way. Donating that much money is also a sign of his enthusiasm for Obama, and as crazy as it is to say, I can see black athletes and entertainers alike making an impact on this election.
Obama is already getting compared to Jackie Robinson, so why shouldn't this be an election where athletes' opinions matter? The sports world certainly knows a lot about integration, and they might have some lessons to give our lily white establishment that is more concerned with Obama's response to McCain's racist dogwhistles than the racism itself (via digby):
