This is how I should greet each day! I should be lunging forward into the fray with joy, with anticipation, with delight for each moment of existence I have been granted. My glee at the dawn of new opportunities, new possibilities should make me prance and twirl as I gallop delightedly to my breakfast.
I am sorry to say I don't. I don't seem to prance as often as I did when I was young. For one thing, I think there is the very real chance that prancing would lead to ripped muscles or snapped Achilles tendons in my aging body. For another, as soon as I commenced prancing, I would think of all the anti-prancing aspects of my life.
I recently heard the words of the song by the group Kinks again, "Don't forget to dance." It reminded me of how joy should define all existence. After all, God is waiting there for me just as eagerly as Honeybun each morning, but rather than demanding a feast, He is offering one.
Don't Forget to Dance.
Into the night.
Could be rain, could be snow,
But it can't feel as cold as you're feeling inside.
And all of you friends are either married, vanished,
Or just left alone.
But that's no reason to just stop living.
That's no excuse to just give in to a sad and lonely heart.
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
Don't forget to smile.
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
Forget it for a while.
'Cause darling, darling,
I bet you danced a good one in your time.
And if this were a party
I'd really make sure the next one would be mine.
Yes, you with the broken heart.
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
Don't forget to smile.
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
Forget it for a while.
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
Forget it for a while.
You walk down the street
And all the young punks whistle at you.
A nice bit of old,
Just goes to show what you can achieve
with the right attitude.
As you pass them by
They whisper their remarks one to another,
And you give them the eye
Even that you know that you could be their mother.
You do the thing you love the most.
What separates you from the rest,
And what you love to do the most?
And when they ask me how you dance,
I say that you dance real close.
Don't forget to dance, no, no, no,
Don't forget to dance.
they will rejoice in the bounty of the LORD—
the grain, the new wine and the olive oil,
the young of the flocks and herds.
They will be like a well-watered garden,
and they will sorrow no more.
13 Then young women will dance and be glad,
young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning into gladness;
I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.

Umabsent bigla! Was Salalima's resignation behind Duterte's snub of Globe's Davao event?
Executives of Globe Telecom were probably surprised and disappointed when President Rodrigo Duterte failed to turn up for the launch of its Southeast Asia-United States Cable System Friday (September 22).
It's surprising for Duterte to miss an event that's held in Davao City. Members of the media were already informed of the President's schedule days before and flew to his hometown to cover his appearance.
His absence got some quarters to speculate whether he's laying low following the resignation of Informations and Communications Secretary Rodolfo Salalima.
News of Salalima's sudden resignation leaked on Thursday (September 21), while the President was in Marawi City. He confirmed that his schoolmate from San Beda College wanted to leave the Cabinet "out of delicadeza."
Salalima used to be Globe's chief legal counsel and senior advisor before joining the government.
Politiko has reported that Salalima was forced to resign due to intense lobbying from Chinese firms and Duterte's allies in connection with the government's proposed P77.9-billion national broadband network project.

AOL News, Bush version 3.0
actually I love this idea. obviously not because I think Jeb would make a good or even a bad president I think he would be terrible, maybe even as bad as the current one. I love the idea because it would be a cake walk, got from the most corrupt government this nation has ever seen then try to get the people to ask for more of it? The guy in the courtyard of the psych-center that my office over looks thats trying to eat a kickball probably has a better chance of winning than Jeb, and guy eating kickball would also know better than to vote for another bush.
So I support Jeb running in '08 and I think every progressive should be on board, at least through the republican primarys.

I don't drink often, or more rather to say I'm not much of a drinker....but i happen to come across a health program which was talking about Hangovers and how to counter them....I do know of some friends who drink often and drink loads......
So i guess it's a good share...:)
How to prevent getting hangovers the next morning....( i know there are many tips, but here are those i saw)
- Remember to have a meal before drinking, don't drink on a empty stomach, and try not to make it a too oily meal. (it was something about oil and alcohol not going well...couldn't remember that part too well)
- In between booze, remember to hydrate oneself. It'll be best that for every one bottle of booze, drink the same amount of liquid (plain water that is) to hydrate yourself in between, not just after at one shot.
- Isotonic drinks aka sports drinks (Pocari Sweat, 100plus,Gatorade), drink them after all the booze-ing, or before going to bed.
- Take two panadol or pain killers before going to bed ( something about preventing inflammation or something like that....i can't remember exactly why already...)
The best thing is to know yourself well, don't over booze. Drinking is not bad, but as everything goes, moderate is the word. Love yourself, don't drink and drive too. :)
Be a nice human!
Be a nice human!

|The shadow of the male applying his cellular phone can be throw near Ms company logo on the 2014 Computex convention throughout Taipei July 5, 2014
'Microsoft' Corp can discover a brand new name for its best-known merchandise in Thursday whenever there is the initial official look of its latest Glass windows computer.
The actual venture, identified regarding recent years decades because "Threshold" within the application organization in addition to "Windows 9" outdoors this, will probably find a wholly fresh model, or just be known as Glass windows, experts claimed, before its whole launch beginning up coming yr.
The actual name change can be a symbol of your fresh direction in addition to design regarding 'microsoft', and that is veering from the intense target Glass windows in addition to Computer systems, this trait of past Chief executive officer Steve Ballmer. The modern, quieter concentration can be in marketing services over almost all units and it is championed by means of fresh manager Satya Nadella.
The actual switch additionally signifies some sort of wish to wipe off this sick can made by means of Glass windows 8, the serious attempt to redesign Glass windows having supplement end users in your mind, that appeared annoying in addition to puzzling this center marketplace of clients which make use of these pests in addition to computer keyboard.
"Windows 8 had not been some sort of shining moment regarding 'microsoft', inch claimed Jordan Silver precious metal, the expert with support study corporation Gartner. "Probably the largest problem that lingers is the negative model money inside the name. inch
Quite a few end users howled with protest within the dying with the start-button food selection plus the advantages of your colorful grid of squares as well as tiles addressing software with exactly what started to be known as the current gui, though they might simply switch to your regular desktop mode.
Judging by new leaking online, that 'microsoft' haven't tried out to be able to discredit, this start-button food selection can come again in the next Glass windows, by having an solution of tacking in tiles in the event that chosen.
Even so the problem of end users requiring you to toggle between the modern program plus the old-style desktop : for instance to work with all of the version of Shine spreadsheet application : possesses yet to become resolved.
"The schizophrenic conduct between the modern gui plus the Glass windows desktop is required to go away completely, inch claimed Donald Manley, the expert with support study corporation Forrester. "They must smooth that out there. inch
'microsoft' rejected to be able to discuss the newest name, as well as exactly what this plans to be able to discover in Thursday.
The actual Redmond, Washington-based organization possesses claimed simply that it sports some sort of "discussion" in relation to exactly where Glass windows can be on course at a trendy occasion place with San francisco bay area in Thursday.
The choice of text in addition to area are usually key to your humbler, lower-profile 'microsoft' underneath Nadella, who's going to be keen to be able to restore value inside the Fresh Region in addition to Silicon Pit because it goes from this PERSONAL COMPUTER and perform more substantial component inside the traveling with a laptop planet fashioned by means of Apple company Inc in addition to Yahoo Inc.
Nadella's commercial can be "mobile very first, cloud very first, inch in addition to although he / she aren't going to be on the San francisco bay area occasion : he could be traveling with Asia : that concept will probably be on the fore.
"This is really a releasing pad in addition to switch regarding Nadella's of utilizing holistic cloud imaginative and prescient vision within the on its way decades, inch claimed Daniel Ives, the expert with investment standard bank FBR Cash Areas. "Windows 9 is really a possibly game-changing merchandise launch regarding 'microsoft'. inch
Nadella can be resigned to be able to the belief that product sales of Computer systems get equalized away from, with this product sales of Glass windows. With all the growing market of touch screen phones in addition to supplements, Glass windows today capabilities simply 18 percentage of computing units offered last year, based on Gartner.
His answer can be to spotlight marketing high-quality services : like the Business office collection of programs as well as keeping docs inside the cloud : to be able to persons in whatever device as well as process they are applying.
"Microsoft can be altering from a organization which was Windows-centric one that is services-centric, inch claimed Silver precious metal with Gartner. "It needs to be because of this. Glass windows revenue is probably planning to drop, in addition to Microsoft's job is always to replace that Glass windows revenue having revenue through services in all sorts of tools. inch
The challenge can be to come up with killer software in addition to services end users are unable to reside without.
"Microsoft created their own company in staying good with providing what folks needed inside the moment, for example Shine inside the 1990s, inch claimed Manley with Forrester. "That's exactly what 'microsoft' has to make contact with, searching for in addition to creating stuffs that persons uncover indispensable. inch.

World's Greatest Friends!
We undoubtedly have the World's Greatest Friends! When we were living in NC we had some friends who, whenever we got together we always had Mexican night... we loved tacos, fajitas, nacho cheese dip, refried beans... the works! When we did it... we went all out! Well, about a week ago, we received "Mexican Night in a box"!!! Our wonderful friends mailed us all the goodies and some random other fun favorites, so we could have it all while we are far, far from home! We love you guys and are sooo thankful!!! Sadie Mac loved the chicken tacos we made... as you can see! She even pitched a fit when Stephen took it back to eat after he shared with her! (Of course, he gave her more... but didn't want to!!)
All smiles for Mexican Night!!
Some other friends were living here with us and sadly had to move right before Thanksgiving. We were excited for them, but sad for us! While they were here, they let us take pics of Sadie in their daughters tutu and she loved it! Well, right after we received the Mexican Night in a box... our friends mailed our little princess her very own tutu! They said they saw it and thought of her... and knew she needed her very own! It was so precious and she has loved it... and wants to wear it all the time!! For Stephen and I... mint M&M's!!! Tasty!!! Thanks to you all too... love you all and miss you tons!
Little Missy in her very own tutu!
This is Sadie Mac proclaiming (in a deep-drawn sweet southern voice:) I (!!!) mama am the Princess... I have the tutu!

Yes you can Install windows 7 without formatting. If you have two partitions on your hard drive and you have more than 10GB remaining space on the partition that has no Windows OS, better install Win 7 there. You will have dual boot capability. At boot up, you have a choice whether to load Win XP or Win 7.
There is one other option. If you wanted to you could install it on a virtual pc. But it's not as real as having an actual operating system(reduced sys specs). But if you really want to you can do that.

ah, christmas shopping. so much of it to do & so many places to go. There is one place I steer clear of if at all possible: the mall.
Parking (more in a minute), it's crowded, everyone's crabby (including me) & it's hot because you wear your stupid winter coat which is likely to be bulky and cause you to take up twice as much space as you would in say, a cute sundress.
So parking.
I have a vivid memory of going to Rosedale Mall with my dad in my later elementary school years, maybe even junior high. After circling the parking lot forever to find a parking spot. We finally resorted to stalking a woman we spotted coming out of JC Penney's. We slowly drove behind her as she walked to her car and waited ever so patiently as she gingerly placed her shopping bags in her trunk, got settled in her car, started her engine & let her car warm up for a couple of minutes ("Oh, come on, lady," my dad would say through gritted teeth, "It ain't that cold out, just give us your spot!") and as she carefully pulled out of the spot, her tail end toward us, another car came from nowhere and zipped into the coveted parking spot right under our noses. Many expletives came out of my dad's mouth as he sped away and threatened Rosedale Mall that we would just leave and not shop at all. While I doubt Rosedale heard him and would have cared if it had, we relented, stalked another shopper leaving the mall and got our parking space, fair and square. Yeah.
I hadn't thought about this occurance in ages until this afternoon. I found myself at Rosedale Mall, much to my chagrin, attempting to park near JC Penney and I was circling and circling and circling. At one point, a car ahead of me was stopped for what seemed to be a very long time and just as I was beginning to feel annoyed, I noticed another car coming from the opposite direction (& the wrong way at that) attempting to awkwardly pull into a vacant parking space. The car ahead of me was shaking his fists and honking his horn. The car going the wrong way seemed to be ignoring these gestures but finally gave up on the parking spot and drove away. However, not before stopping next to the car ahead of me to exchange a lot of nice words in really kind tones about how smart each other was in regards to parking. Obviously I'm being sarcastic, there was nothing nice about the 30 second exchange at all, except that it completely distracted me from my annoyance. I will admit that I rolled down my window so that I could hear better.
But seriously, it's a parking spot and it's the holidays so why not just be a little bit nicer while exercising better patience. I don't know, I suppose because we're all stressed out about an assortment of things & it's much easier to freak out at a complete stranger over a parking spot than it is to deal with the source of the stress & anxiety directly. I'm a little guilty of this myself using a different outlet, but guilty none the less.
Witnessing the said encounter helped me put things in perspective and I'm proud to say that I went into the mall at 4:31 and was out by 4:46 having visited the two shops I intended and coming out with exactly what was on my list. All the while I was perfectly chipper and wearing my bulky winter coat and feeling too warm. But I made it through and you know what's even better? I don't think I'll have to go back! (Knock on wood)

parking and shopping and cussing

way to go dahli! i dread the malls anytime of year, but especially christmas. the malls here are insane. 5 times as many malls and 2 to 3 times as many people in them. i don't know how they all stay in business. they have grocery stores in malls. good restaurants. so weird. fortunately most people get to the mall by public transport. Many of the biggest malls actually double as stops for the train/subway. i have never spent so much time in malls in my life. oh and they also have conveniant toilets.ReplyDelete
oh heather, i think i'd like malls better if i lived in hong kong. no need for parking, convenient toilets..what more could I ask for?ReplyDelete
can i tell you again how much i love reading & commenting on each others blogs?!

Well wouldn't ya know it, Chretien and his merry band of Fiberal Liars want to give Gomery the boot.
Kinsella, the ol' pit bull himself, has been all over this thing for weeks now but only now people are starting to pay attention. Apparently Gomery has said things like "I'm coming to the same conclusion as Sheila Fraser that this was a government program which was run in a catastrophically bad way". No freaking really! Note to Kinsella: Suck it up, Get over it. It wouldn't matter who the judge would be, everyone would come to the exact same conclusion that Fraser came to and that's that there was something fishy going on during those Chretien years and taxpayers were screwed royaly for it.
Kinsella may be innocent himself, but there is no way that Chretien or not even some of his advisors or not even one person in government knew nothing about what was going on in the sponsorship program. That's borderline loonieville like believeing in Unicorns and Leprecauns...
Kinsella get over it already and focus on your pet project to keep Dalton McGuilty in government for another disastrous 4 years.

While I opt for minimalism when camping and hiking, there are some places where car camping is fun, necessary, and has its benefits. At the more popular national parks, for example, car camping is the most accessible option for spending time at the park. Backcountry permits are required for all areas away from an established campground, and the waiting list can be long. One of the benefits from car camping is the fact that it enables you to bring along heavy food items (like bottles and cans) or perishable items that can be kept in a cooler, thus making your cuisine that much more interesting. Here are a couple of my favorite dishes.
–Beans & Franks (A large can of baked beans with cut-up hot dogs from the cooler mixed in. It tastes pretty good in the great outdoors.)
— "Hobos" (We used to make these when I was a kid, camping out most summer weekends at RockCut State Park. In a foil packet, mix up some ground beef from the cooler and largely chopped carrots, potatoes and onions. Season with salt and pepper and cook in the coals of your campfire for about an hour.)
— Hot Sandwiches (You'll need a sandwich iron for these- they can found at most camping-supply stores. You can make these either sweet or savory. My favorites were ham and cheese and baked apple filling. Just open the iron and lay in a slice of white bread, then your filling, then another slice of white bread. Close the iron then hold over the hot fire for about 15 minutes to heat through.)

Honestly, I've been very confused as to how I ended up enjoying this. To tell the truth, I'm not particularly interested in classics save a few, and The Catcher in the Rye was not one of them. I probably wouldn't have even picked up the little thing were it not that it was in my school curriculum.
The Catcher in the Rye has no significant or memorable quality to the novel. It follows the story of a young, sixteen-year-old boy named Holden Caulfield and takes place after he's been kicked out of Pencey boarding school. There's no real dilemma in the novel; all it is is Holden's adventures after he packs his bags and sets out for "home."
He's a strange kid. And not even the pleasant, dorky kind of the strange -- but the what-are-you-doing-you-scumbag kind. I'm always questioning his intentions. His mind is, indeed, an intricate work of thoughts. But despite that, he's annoying. He isn't much thoughtful and does whatever he likes. He judges on appearances (several times; "I just hoped she was good-looking"; when he called the prostitute up to his bedroom.) He just doesn't judge people by their looks, he critics their actions, even if it makes a hypocrite of himself.
But here's the really strange part: Despite all this, it was a strangely entertaining novel. I just don't understand what parts were the most interesting.
Although it was fun, it wasn't so great as to why it's such a classic.

ViaGen, "The Cloning Company" can produce an exact genetic replica of my horse. Okay not MY horse, of course, but one's horse. Allie comes to mind: a 25 year old Hanoverian gelding with the patience and demeanor of a saint; Moorlands Totilas also comes to mind: how many horses earn in the 90th percentiles in Grand Prix dressage? (That would be a sum total of one: the Trakehner Totilas.)
So, for only $150,000 one can have an exact genetic clone produced of one's mare, stallion, or GELDING. Not sure if it's right for you now, or you just want to have a safety net to fall back on in case of accident or you geld a colt that later proves it could have been stallion material? For $1,500 you can gene bank your horse's DNA for storage for future cloning. But act now: only live tissue can be used so if your horse passes it's too late. Be aware: in my sport of Dressage there are no current restrictions about competing on clones; the Jockey Club flat refuses to register any clones and the AQHA racing industry is trying to fight the registration of clones for race track use.
Personally I see both sides: as a scientist it is definitely tampering with nature to throw out the possibility of desirable genetic mutations by making a heritable stamp of an existing animal (for example, Allie cribs: would his clone crib also?) and possibly stunting natural genetic progression for the improvement of modern horses. On the other hand, as an amateur horse owner, I certainly see the allure of reproducing an exact replica of a beloved animal that has proven itself in the barn aisle, competition arena, daily schooling, and maybe even the breeding shed.
Either way it is exciting to think about the possibilities of attaining the "perfect" horse, whether through the new hindsight of cloning or the traditional methods of humans trialing genetics over successive generations through selective breeding.

In the name of the Father and of the + Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Most people classify the oil of the wise virgins as either faith or the good works that follow faith. Both are necessary for the Christian so both are viable contenders of being the oil, which is what the five foolish virgins are missing. Some say that the oil is the faith which lights the fire of good works to be seen by others. Certainly our Lord says to us, "Let your good works be seen by others so they may give glory to your Father in heaven."… Others say that the oil is the good works when, taken together with faith, light the lamp of eternal life … I would agree with either understanding, really. But in truth, we really only want to know what the oil is so that we might know whether we have it or not. But there's a problem in making the oil either faith or good works. The problem is that we then make faith and good works something we can examine as if they are artifacts of the Christian religion. We can hold them and turn them over and examine them. Even the fact that they are described as oil in a lamp suggests they are measurable and containable. We treat the oil – whether it's our faith or our good works that follow faith – as commodities to be had, much like a man preparing to take a journey takes inventory that he has the right provisions.
We want the preacher to tell us what the oil is so that we can check it off our list: yep, got that, I'm good. As if when our Lord returns He's going to do an inventory like some boss or drill sergeant inspecting his troops to make sure they got what they need. In truth, we want the preacher to tell us that the oil is something that we already have. That way we don't have to change anything we're doing or not doing. By equating the oil with a particular thing – even if that one thing is the Holy Spirit – we immediately quantify and qualify the oil.
And none of us think we don't have the oil. If we did we would be frantically searching for it. If we thought we didn't have the oil we'd be beside ourselves to get some oil. Look at the consequence for not having the oil! Those fools that don't have the oil are not welcomed into the eternal kingdom. They're not even known by Jesus! He says to them, "I don't know you"! Who among us – what average person – thinks that Jesus doesn't even know them? Now we really want to know what the oil is. Tell us so that we can make sure we have it and hold it fast.
In truth, not only does everyone who cares thinks that Jesus know them, they think He gets them. As if He's our divine buddy who's got our back and likes what we like and talks like we talk and would vote how we vote; that He's as sarcastic as we are when it comes to God's sense of humor and our lack of understanding. Everyone who cares thinks Jesus is their own personal god who approves what they do and is never ashamed of them – even when they deny Him before men – and is generally the best friend all of us really want to have. But "God of God" and "very God of very God" should make us tremble as much as it should delight our hearts.
Well the oil isn't some line item on a check list along with virginity or purity or good behavior. The oil is the Christian life of faith, hope, and love. It's as simple and as complex as that. The oil is your conscience bound by the Word of God so that you do those things that are pleasing to your heavenly Father and avoid those things that would lead you astray from Him. That's not keeping the Ten Commandments but rather listening to His Son, the Word of God, and rejoicing in the salvation He brings.
The oil is faith. But it is also good works that follow faith. It is also the Holy Spirit. The oil isn't something that we need for the journey, an item we need to take with us, the oil is the going on the journey. Without the oil there is no movement, no progression, no advancement toward the kingdom of heaven.
Better to not draw a direct parallel between the oil of the parable and any one thing of the Christian life. That leads to contentment with what we have rather than striving for what lies ahead. That leads to false confidence in what we think we have rather than praying daily for what our Father gives us and what we need. For He gives us not only daily bread, which is the least of His gifts, but He gives us the Holy Spirit by whom we pray. He gives us comfort in times of temptation. He gives us relief in times of distress. But these aren't answers to our problems so much as they are the Father's constant promise that He has sent His Son to prepare us to receive the eternal kingdom. For He also gives us struggles and fiery trials. Not to tempt us but to fashion us in the image of His Son. He gives us what we call hardships. Not to punish us or hurt us, but to lead us in the ways of righteousness for His name's sake.
So pray, praise, and give thanks to your Father in heaven. Do good to all, especially those who are of the household of faith. Continue to come to this gathering wherein you receive confidence that the Lord your God is looking upon you and knows you and will know you in the age to come. Give relief to those in distress. Return a kind word for the wrath you might receive. Bless those who curse you and do good to those who hurt you. Not with an eye to what you might receive from men – a good reputation or worldly friends – but with what you have been promised by your Father in heaven: the reward of eternal life through the Son of Man who is our Bridegroom and Champion; our Lord and our God.
Behold, the Bridegroom comes!

The October News for Ms. Marshall's Class
Students have been responding to their reading and practicing an element of visual note taking.
How do they decide what to quote?
- Words that I read that give me vivid mind pictures
- Words or ideas that seem to be repeated
- Words characters say that are revealing (when I get some insight into who they are or why they are the way they are)
- Words that make me feel something
- Words or ideas that I connect with (I understand this because it happened to me, or this reminds me of something else I saw/heard/read)
- Ah Ha! moments
- Words that seem like good (or even bad) advice
- Words that are inspiring that I want to share with others
See their SketchQuotes pictured below:
Emoji Book Talks
Starting next week, I will be making short videos of students talking about the book that they read for homework this quarter. I will then create QR codes to go inside of the classroom copies of the books (if I have a copy of their book in class). With these QR codes students can scan, watch the book talk video done by a classmate, and then decide if they want to read the book. I am hoping that my old iPhone will work as a book scanner. I may have to modify this plan if it doesn't, but the videos will still be available in some form or another. See the Emoji Book talk guide (pictured above) for tips on a great book talk.
Costumes, props, puppets, hats, glasses, backgrounds, etc. that would enhance the book talk are always welcomed but not required.
"Who Would Win?"
Our "Who Would Win?" project is underway in History class and the students are engaged in gathering research on early humans for their own version of this popular book series. Check out the World History page on our website for more resources and information. I am not sure on a due date yet, but am hoping to have this project completed and turned in by Friday, October 23rd. Look for student work to be shared in next month's Panther Press.
Notebook Conferences
I will be meeting with students to have grade conferences starting next week. If parents want to sit in on this please contact me by email to set up an after school time. Conferences will be completed by October 29th to be included in the first semester report card grades.
Important Dates:
- Friday, October 23rd: Ms. Marshall is attending a tech conference and we will have our first substitute teacher of the year.
- Tuesday, October 27th: Mix it up at lunch day A school event in which students are encouraged to move out of their comfort zones and get to know other students that they may not talk to because they are part of a different social group.
- Friday, October 30th: The end of the first quarter 12:45 dismissal
- Monday, November 2nd: Students begin second quarter electives and will have new 5th period classes.
- Wednesday, November 11th: Veterans Day (no school)
- November 12-13th: Parent/Teacher conferences
- Tuesday, November 17th: Tentative Field Trip Date The date for our field trip had to be changed due to a conflict with parent/teacher conferences. This is the possible rescheduled date-Mr. Auza is waiting on confirmation of the bus company's availability. As soon as we know for sure permission slips will be sent home.
- November 23-27th Thanksgiving Holiday.

LIVERPOOL - Brendan Rodgers said Liverpool were returning to their best form following a 1-1 draw with Everton in the Merseyside derby.
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard scored his 10th goal in 32 appearances against their city rivals shortly after the hour mark in the Premier League contest at Anfield on Saturday.
However, Everton skipper Phil Jagielka ensured the 223rd meeting between the near neighbours ended all square when he equalised in injury time with a spectacular long-range strike.
Liverpool, last season's runners-up, have won just twice in six Premier League games so far this season but manager Rodgers insisted they were unfortunate not to have taken all three points.
"Certainly we didn't get what we deserved," he said.
"We were much the better side. When you concede a goal like that, it shows the luck that went against us.
"But I thought the intensity was getting back up to near where we have been for 19 months. Tactically, I thought we were very good in the game.
"We defended very well. We took the lead, we should have arguably had at least two more (goals) and we should have had a penalty," the Northern Irishman added.
"It was disappointing to only get a point, but I think the performance, which I'm clearly looking to at the moment, was at a much better level than we have been at.
"I never felt in any danger in the game. I felt the organisation was very good with good concentration and with the ball we were a real threat.
"When you concede so late, they virtually had nothing, it is a little bit frustrating." Rodgers singled out England midfielder Adam Lallana for praise and believes the influence of the close-season signing from Southampton will continue to grow over the course of the campaign.
"I thought Adam was outstanding," Rodgers said. "He came in to his first derby game and played with that quality and intensity.
"To deliver that performance was great because it shows me he is getting fitter and fitter. He was a constant threat." Liverpool were unfortunate not to be awarded a penalty when Raheem Sterling's shot was blocked by the raised arms of Everton midfielder Gareth Barry, with Rodgers adamant that referee Martin Atkinson should have pointed to the spot.
Martinez proud of Jagielka
Meanwhile Everton manager Roberto Martinez insisted England centre-half Jagielka's goal was a just reward for the captain, who has been the subject of criticism for both club and country this season.
"I was so proud. He cares for this club like no-one else," Martinez said. "It was an example of his belief in himself and the responsibility he has.

Low oil prices
Confession time: I didn't expect ever see gasoline selling for under $3 ever again. My thinking was that if it did, we'd have such seriously bad deflation such that no one could afford it at $3.
Here we are; the US economy is still functioning and yet oil prices have dropped. I'm not quite sure what's going on here, but I'm got some niggling suspicions.
The fracking boom is obviously part of the reason. There's a bump in US production. Here's the thing that bothered me. "Experts" were saying that fracking could only make money at $90/barrel. Then they said it would have be at least $70. Today I heard another "expert" claiming they could make money at $45.
There are existing contracts and production already in the works. Even if they are losing money on paper, they'll keep pumping for at least another 6 months, maybe up to 12.
In many fields it appears that investors have turned fracking into just another investment bubble. When that type of thinking takes hold, the underlying fundamentals are forgotten. There are indicators the bubble is about to burst. Reality votes last. Everything eventually comes down to earth.
Maybe there are some places where costs really are lower than $45/barrel. They'll work those until they die. Places that require $90/barrel will sooner or later shut down -I'm better sooner rather than later. By the way, the Canadian tar sands look to be one of those more costly areas.
The US is benefiting from the economies that are doing much worse. Those countries cannot afford to use as much oil, so there's more on the market, driving down prices.
Producers like Saudi Arabia and Russia can't afford to cut back on production. They need every bit of income they can generate to support their economies.
Take the fracking oil production bump out of the equation and the charts look a lot like the charts the Peak Oil people have been putting out for years. A zig zag effect was predicted. Oil supplies become tight, driving up the price. The high prices encourage people to stop buying petroleum products. That causes the price to drop, once again stimulating demand. Rinse and repeat.
So what's an average Joe supposed to do? Well if you can't trust the oil companies, who can you trust? (Just about anybody else?) I've done a lot of research into oil: the geology, the business models, politics, and everything else. One of the conclusions I've come to is that there are an awful lot of secrets surrounding oil. Without access to privileged sources, it's impossible to really know what's going on.
Which brings me back to trust issues. I don't trust anyone associated with oil and I certainly don't trust the long term viability of low gas prices. Every year my household uses less and less petroleum products. For me, that seems like the best long term bet. Low gas prices are like low illegal drug prices. They want to sucker you in until you are addicted, then the price goes up.
Only a fool would make plans that assume long term low prices.

The way I understand it, the Middle East continues to pump out at same rate because they are at war with U.S. domestic oil producers. Keep the price below the cost of paying U.S. oil workers fracking - how long can the U.S. keep up? Then Middle East is back in the game.ReplyDeleteReplies

My biggest fear about these low gas prices is CONgress will think this is a green light to raise the gas tax by $0.50 or $0.60 a gallon to cover road and bridge repairs. Trouble is when the price of gas goes back to over $4.00 we will end up paying $5.00 a gallon.ReplyDeleteReplies

Having been an accountant in and oil and gas company for 20 years, I would say you are right not to trust the industry. It has one overriding directive. Make money. Anything that makes money is permissible, no matter how dire the consequences to the population.ReplyDeleteReplies
While that's no surprise, it's discouraging to hear.Delete
Once the Saudi's have wiped out our shale oil and gas producers(plus other competition) I am sure that they will be happy to start raising prices again. Of course by then the junk bond market that the shale producers rely on may be wiped out (along with a lot of the regular bond market) so who knows maybe the price hikes won't stick.ReplyDelete
We are really sliding down into the economic mire with no life rings within reach.Replies
That's a very likely series of events. Expect things to get very interesting in the not so distant future.Delete

Hope deferred -- haven't we all experienced that at one time or another? When I was single, I often hoped for a close, intimate relationship. And during that time of deferred hope, "sick at heart" was an apt description. But that longing was fulfilled, as was the desire for children.
- Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
- but a longing fulfilled is a tree of lifeProverbs 13:12
And now, most of the time, I feel like I'm enjoying the "tree of life" described in the second line.
I just looked, and found that outside of Proverbs, the "tree of life" is mentioned in the Bible only in Genesis and Revelation. In both places, the tree is in Paradise -- in the Garden of Eden, and in heaven. Does a longing fulfilled, then, give us a taste of Paradise? Maybe so! One might imagine Paradise as a place where all good desires are fulfilled -- and, one may hope, bad desires purged.
Here's something else that occurs to me, though. This life is far from perfect. I'm far from perfect. Shouldn't I be longing for something that will be satisfied only in heaven? It's good to be content (Paul says that godliness with contentment is "great gain"), but bad to be complacent.
So, do I long for heaven? Yes, a little, because struggles will be over then. And we won't have to take out the garbage or clean up after the dog. Doctors won't have to use the "C" word; they'll never have to say "I'm sorry; we tried, but..."
But as far as my own imperfections, salvation for my friends, injustice in the world... have I made peace with mediocrity -- and with evil?
May God give me holy discontentment, a holy dissatisfaction with this life -- that I may long for all and only the things I should.

Is it Thursday already? Sheesh. Good news, I took my mom home from the hospital today. She was getting grumpy so I knew she was feeling better. Now I'm trying to catch up on an entire week's worth of chores.
Which reminds me. I took Sutu the Amazing Scaredy Cat to the vet on Tuesday and he had lost more weight. Down to 7.4 pounds! They did some full organ system blood work that checks for everything. I need to call to check on results.
Plus I went to the dentist today and have to go back next Thursday for a root canal and a crown. Let's just jump right in, shall we? Actually I prefer that, get the hard stuff over with right away.
I shall try to be more entertaining next week.

An edited version of this story ran on Computerworld.com on September 13, 2017. Credit: Computerworld
Authentication. The act of proving one's identity to the satisfaction of some central authority. To most, this process means typing in a user name and a password, and it's been this way for years and years.
But passwords—especially the passwords that most enterprises require that have to be complex, with long strings of numbers and specially cased phrases with some (but not all! Heavens no, not the one you want) symbols—are difficult to remember and often end up getting written down on sticky notes. Then you have to reset them every so often so that hackers and crackers are working towards moving targets. Passwords can be leaked or hacked from the inside as well, as we have seen with numerous credential dump attacks over the past few years. And users can accidentally disclose their passwords if they fall victim to ever increasingly sophisticated phishing attacks.
Luckily for Windows shops, Microsoft is innovating in this space and it has introduced an enterprise quality method of using biometric identification and authentication without requiring the purchase of specialized hardware—and it is baked right into Windows 10, which many shops are already beginning to deploy to replace Windows 7 and Windows 8 and 8.1. In this piece, I want to take a look at this innovation, called Windows Hello for Business, and show how it works and how to enable it to secure your enterprise while eliminating the need for your users to handle cumbersome passwords.
Windows Hello for Business
Windows Hello is the most common and most widely known of the biometric authentication schemes that Windows supports. Windows Hello for Business takes the Hello idea and bundles it with management tools and enforcement techniques that businesses and enterprises want to ensure a uniform security profile and enterprise security posture. Windows Hello for Business uses Group Policy or mobile device management (MDM) policies for management and enforcement, and uses key- and certificate-based authentication in most cloud focused scenarios for maximum protection.
Essentially, Windows Hello acts on two fronts: it can scan one's fingerprint, and it can also take an infrared picture of a user's face and perform analysis on it. It pairs these unique physical attributes of each user with cryptographic keys that replace passwords as authentication methods. These keys are stored within specialized security hardware, or are encrypted in software, and unlocked only after Windows deems them authentic. For organizations uninterested in biometrics, Windows Hello also supports PIN usage to replace passwords transmitted over the network.
Windows Hello protects Microsoft accounts (the accounts you use to log in to Microsoft cloud services, Xbox, Office 365, and the like), domain accounts that are part of a corporate Active Directory deployment, domain accounts joined to an Azure Active Directory domain (these are relatively new), and in the future, accounts protected by federated identity providers that will support the Fast ID Online (IDO) 2.0 protocol.
Why is Windows Hello considered stronger than a traditional password? For one, security is always better in threes—the best method is authenticating is to prove something you have, something you know, and something you are. In this case, Windows Hello can authenticate users by satisfying all three rules: something you are (your face, which is exceedingly difficult to copy and use in a malicious way), something you know (the PIN that is used by default by Windows Hello from the point of registration onward), and something you have (your fingerprint, which again without removing digits is difficult to copy and use nefariously).
What is most interesting is that all of these biometrics are stored on the local device only and are NOT centralized into the directory or some other authentication source; this means credential harvesting attacks are no good against Windows Hello-enabled accounts simply because the credentials do not exist in the place that would be hacked. While it is technically possible each device's trusted platform module, or TPM, could be hacked, an attacker would have to crack each individual user's machine versus simply executing a successful attack against one machine: a vulnerable domain controller.
The security techniques involved in verifying the biometrics are rigid: special webcams or cameras designed to see in infrared can pick up the differences between a photograph of a person and the real presence of that person, and most laptop manufacturers are now including Hello-compliant cameras in their corporate lines of devices now. You can also purchase these compliant cameras separately, making a staged rollout possible. Fingerprint readers are mature technology and have been around for years, but Microsoft indicates the newest generations of readers pick up more and more on the first swipe, eliminating the need to swipe again and again like some previous models required; essentially all fingerprint readers compatible with any version of Windows can also be used with Windows Hello. It is important to note that you can use both fingerprints and facial cameras or both solutions—whatever biometric you end up using is called the "gesture," and the gesture action is the key that begins the unlocking of public and private keys and verification of a user's identity.
The Registration Process
To use Windows Hello, you must register your user account so that Windows can generate the proper elements to replace the traditional password. First, the user configures an account on the device (or the administrator adds a user account to the device). The user authenticates the normal way during the registration process—using a user name and password—and the authentication source, most likely Active Directory, issues its standard yay or nay to that user's credentials. The user can then enable his or her PIN, which then becomes inextricably linked between that device and that user account.
Windows then generates a pair of keys, a public half and a private half, and stores them both either in the hardware TPM module, or if a device does not have a TPM, it encrypts the keys and stores them in software. This first key is associated with just one biometric "gesture" – either a fingerprint, or a face, or a PIN. Each subsequent gesture has a different protector key that wraps around the authentication key. While the container is designed to only have one authentication key, multiple copies of that single authentication key can be wrapped up with the different protector keys associated with the different gestures registered on the device. There is also an administrative key that Windows automatically generates so that credentials can be reset when necessary, and the TPM has its normal block of data as well that contains attestations and other TPM-related information.
After the PIN is established and these keys are created as I just described, the user can authenticate to the device in a trusted way and Windows will then let him or her create a biometric gesture like register a fingerprint or face print.
Enforcing Windows Hello for Business through Group Policy
As you might imagine, you set up Windows Hello and enforce it throughout the enterprise organization through the use of Group Policy. Within the Group Policy Management Console, you can find policy settings under Policies / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Hello for Business in both the User configuration and Computer configuration hives. The important policies to configure are:
- Use Windows Hello for Business: you'll want to set this to Enabled to get started with the deployment.
- Use biometrics. Set this to Enabled to enable gestures instead of supporting only a PIN.
Alternatively, if you already have a mobile device management solution deployed, then you can use MDM to force the deployment of Windows Hello. The policies use the PassportForWork configuration service provider, which is like a template of potential settings that you will need to import into the MDM solution before you can begin configuring and enforcing policies.
Key Points to Consider
Some important points to remember:
- Credentials enrolled in Windows Hello for Business can be bound to individual laptops, desktops, or devices, and the access token one gets after successful credential verification is also limited to that single device.
- During an account's registration process, Active Directory, Azure AD, or the Microsoft account service checks and authenticates the validity of the user and associates the Windows Hello public key to a user account. The keys—both the public and private halves—can be generated in the TPM modules versions 1.2 or 2.0 or they can live in software for devices without the right TPM hardware. The Windows Hello gesture does not roam between devices and is not shared with the server; it is stored locally on a device and never leaves the device When the PIN is entered and the face and/or fingerprint is applied, Windows 10 uses the private key stored in the TPM to sign data transmitted to the authentication source.
- According to Microsoft: "Personal (Microsoft account) and corporate (Active Directory or Azure AD) accounts use a single container for keys. All keys are separated by identity providers' domains to help ensure user privacy." In practice, this means that keys get commingled within one secure container, although they are delineated by their native identity provider so that the wrong key is not sent to the wrong provider.
Sidebar: Why a PIN and not a password?
At first blush, a PIN seems like a password but worse: shorter, probably all one type of character (usually numbers), and most likely reused among a number of different places, including bank accounts, access to your mobile phone or tablet, and so on. However, the technical execution of how passwords are verified in the authentication process makes all the difference. Passwords are transmitted over the network to the authentication source where they are validated and either accepted or rejected. Because this transmission happens over the network, anyone with the right tools can snoop in, capture the credentials, and reuse them anywhere. And as we discussed earlier, if all of the passwords are stored centrally, one attack can potentially compromise all of the passwords. In Windows Hello for Business, the PIN is the gatekeeper to unlock a cryptographic key that is bound to the TPM in one individual machine. The PIN only works on the local device and does not enable authentication of any other kind from any other place.
Active Directory Requirements
Fully enabling Windows Hello for Business will most likely require you to add at a minimum one Windows Server 2016 domain controller to your domain. While you do not have to raise your domain or forest functional level, the 2016 DC will light up some required authentication functionality. One alternative to shelling out for a 2016 license is to use Azure Active Directory to deploy Windows Hello.
There is detailed information about exactly what is required from a prerequisite standpoint on the Microsoft website: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/access-protection/hello-for-business/hello-manage-in-organization In particular, pay close attention to the key-based authentication requirements and the certificate-based authentication requirements; if you already have a public key infrastructure deployed in production, the certificate-based authentication method will be much easier to start with. If you are largely cloud oriented, then the key-based authentication method is the one to go with for your first Windows Hello deployments.
The Last Word
Security experts for years have been calling for the death of passwords as we know it, but that prediction has always been troubled by the lack of a seamless, affordable, user friendly alternative to authenticating against systems. In practice, it was always going to take Microsoft putting biometric features inside Windows, the most popular operating system, to spur enough organizations to look into passwordless authentication, and it appears with Windows 10 that the Redmond software giant has done Just Enough to warrant the attention of enterprises everywhere. While it is unlikely your shop is a position to remove passwords entirely, new machines you deploy can work with this option by default, and as you migrate to Windows 10 over time at your own pace, you can slowly but surely work Windows Hello for Business into your security profile.

You make me sickA Poem by Cosmic kid
As I lay in bed I try to keep my mind from wandering
I doze off
The room is musky and cold
And I see you
You look up and smirk and continue what you're doing
I know exactly what you're doing and my heart drops
It hurts so much
And you say that you have nightmares
I look in the mirror
And my mind takes over
You're on top of her
I try to see who she is but it's just a silhouette
I'll never be good enough for anyone
While you hold me tight at night
All I can think about is you and her
Did you say the same thing you told me to her?
Did you hold her?
"if you f**k another girl then the first one must have not been as important as you thought"

Over the Rhine in concert
last Tuesday, i took my wife to see Over the Rhine in concert @ the Kent Stage in Kent, Ohio. We have had many opportunities to see them and everytime something interfered. This time, we made time for OtR and we are both glad we did.
The show started at just about 10 past 8. There was no opening act... just Over the Rhine...
Karin Bergquist - vocals, guitar, shaker
Linford Detweiler - keyboards, guitar, vocals
Jake Bradley - acoustic and electric bass
Mickey Grimm - drums, percussion
they played for 2 solid hours... mostly Christmas stuff from their new Christmas CD titled Snow Angels that has just released. They also played 4 or 5 songs from an album that is in the works and, acording to Linford, will be released in 2007, titled The Trumpet Child. The new stuff was phenominal...
There was a nice atmosphere at the Kent Stage. it was an intimate show... a full house of approx. 750 people. Hearing Karin's vocals in person was amazing. Her voice... her style is exceptional. And Linford is no slouch himself, playing the piano, hammond b-3 organ, accordian & guitar. it was a tight show with a jazzy feel. The smell of coffee filled the venue - as OtR was brewing & selling their own unique blend. We walked away with joy in our hearts and a few OtR cd's ta' boot.
Here is the set list... 21 songs... 2 encores...
White Horse
Darlin' (Christmas Is Coming)
Little Town
I Don't Wanna Waste Your Time
Nothing Is Innocent Now
The Trumpet Child
Who Am I Kidding?
All I Ever Get For Christmas Is Blue
North Pole Man
Goodbye Charles
Snowed In With You
Snow Angel
Orphan Girl
Drunkard's Prayer
First Encore:
Baby It's Cold Outside
