The person in the pictures looks calm, peaceful even, and a little happy right? Would you know she struggles with anxiety on a daily basis? Would you know she is not as happy as she would like to be?
I am on a journey to figure out what I want from life, what makes me the most happy, besides my daughter of course, and working on ways to deal with my anxiety. I make videos on YouTube and have two blogs to earn some money since a "normal" job is harder for me to handle right now. I enjoy doing both and they are great, positive outlets for me which I can control. I will continue to do both in the future.
People don't fully understand the levels of anxiety someone can have each day. An attack can come on quickly or slowly and take its toll on you both mentally and physically. I have been known to vomit if my attack is strong. Some days are easier than others, the medication I'm on helps and the counseling I go to helps as well. It will not disappear overnight and all you need, at times, is someone to acknowledge anxiety exists and not something to simply "get over".
As 2016 progresses so will I with coping with it. Don't feel sorry for me, I am not looking for sympathy, just acknowledgment.

they're here.
Still so long to wait though.
I can't believe I bought these tickets back in May...just days after I found out I was pregnant with Pixie Number 3.
I was so annoyed that I didn't get tickets closer to the stage, but now I'm kind of glad...imagine being 32 weeks pregnant in the pit!! and having to stand up for hours! and being jostled constantly.
I guess this baby will come out either loving or hating Metallica.

"Sometimes I lie awake at night and I ask where have I gone wrong? Then a voice says to me - This is going to take more than one night... In the Book of life, the answers aren't in the back."...Charlie Brown
Monday, April 9, 2012
If our "anniversary celebration get-away" this past week turned into "vacation as usual", no time on the beach at all, no visiting any sights previously unseen, anticipated reunions with restaurants we loved on previous occasions not quite the same experience, it yet was a trip that we both needed, a sharing of life as it came to us. To me, love was never about "Ferris wheels and fairy tales", but a bonding that somehow creates itself in the middle of all else happening out there, a part of who we are, surrendered unto another, and maintained as we go. It works, I think, much like a sermon point given me while away, one preached by a young man now married, himself, who, when but about three or four years of age, once told my wife to "Shut up!". I frowned and then somewhat sternly reminded him that he was speaking to my wife. Wounded by my own words, he turned to Beth with tears in his eyes and requested of her to "Shut up...please!" Two decades later, talking to his own congregation, he addressed the Biblical term "selah" utilized in Psalms, related that it simply means "pause", and phrased it this way: "Where men put a period, God puts a comma!" His dad spoke with me of two weeks later quoting such thought unto those doctors who declared that another son, seriously injured in a bike accident, would not survive. Miracle after miracle would come in that situation. Truthfully, we never know. We can, however, know Him in whom we put our trust, rest in Him who holds every circumstance encountered. In Christ there is never finality, but continuation. Yea, though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, yet we possess the promise of His presence, each day, with whatever it brings, tightly held in His hand, guarded by His heart……

English Premier League | Sunday 21 September | Etihad Stadium | 17:00
The "Clash of the Titans" awaits us this Sunday as Chelsea travel to the Etihad to take on Manchester City in a mouth-watering encounter. Jose Mourinho got the double over Manuel Pellegrini last season winning 2-1 at Stamford Bridge and 1-0 at the Etihad. However, City did get some sort of revenge when they beat The Blues 2-0 in the FA Cup and of course claimed the Premier League title.
To Win (90mins)
Man City 27/20
Draw 24/10
Chelsea 18/10
Manchester City showed the heart of champions by fighting back late in the game to earn a 2-2 draw at Arsenal last weekend.
Arsenal looked set for victory when Alexis Sanchez slammed home a sumptuous volley in the 74th minute, after Jack Wilshere's neatly constructed goal had cancelled out Sergio Aguero's first-half opener for City.
But Argentina centre-back Martin Demichelis headed in an Aleksandar Kolarov corner to prevent Pellegrini's side from slumping to a second consecutive defeat after their shock 1-0 loss at home to Stoke City.
The draw leaves City with seven points and only two wins in four Premier League matches this season.
The season may only be a few weeks old, but The Sky Blues find themselves in the midst of a hugely important run of matches.
City's 2-2 draw at Arsenal was the first instalment of a three-game run against some of Europe's top sides.
A midweek trip to Munich where City kicked off their Champions League campaign in the Allianz against Bayern would have taken a lot out of them and now come up against the Premier League pacesetters Chelsea.
As weeks in football go, it's about as difficult as you can get. And with new signing Fernando set to miss the clash due to injury, the importance of his compatriot Fernandinho—who was outstanding against Arsenal—increases.
Fernandinho's showing last weekend has brightened the picture somewhat. He was superb, producing a display full of energy, pace, desire and tackling that nullified Arsenal's midfield.
After a slow start to the season, it was a performance that reminded everybody just how good the Brazilian is.
Against a Chelsea team boasting an in-form Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic, Fernandinho will need to be at his very best.
Yaya Toure missed the match against Arsenal after returning late from international duty and Pellegrini will be hoping the Ivorian can give his team a lift.
Aguero has been in sparkling form this season and could be a handful for Mourinho's defence. The Argentine has three goals so far and will be looking to add to his tally.
If City do not beat Mourinho's men at the Etihad this weekend, the title race could be over before it ever really began.
If Pellegrini is lucky, perhaps no one will notice that the silver of last season's Premier League trophy is already beginning to tarnish.
Chelsea made it four wins out of four in the Premier League after coming from behind to beat Swansea 4-2 at Stamford Bridge last Saturday.
The Swans took a shock lead through a John Terry own goal and, for spells of the match, looked like holding on.
But Diego Costa drew Chelsea level shortly before the interval and added two more goals after the break to complete his hat-trick, with a fourth coming from new signing Loic Remy, to ensure Chelsea are now the only side in the Premier League with a 100 percent record.
Despite The Blues excellent start to the season, Eden Hazard didn't really impress through the Premier League leaders' first three matches.
Against Swansea, however, the Belgian playmaker was back to his best, setting up teammates with exquisite passes and making brave, heads-up runs into the goalmouth.
The one-two he played with Fabregas in the build-up to Costa's second goal was especially eye-catching.
Hazard has peaked at the perfect moment as Mourinho will need him to be at his best against Manchester City.
Chelsea's 4-2-3-1 works for a number of reasons, firstly in Matic they have one of the best defensive midfielders in the league.
The big Serbian's presence frees Fabregas to push forward and really control the tempo that Chelsea play at.
Around Fabregas the attacking midfield trio all interchange freely and move about, causing problems for the defences.
All three perfectly understand their defensive responsibilities and they all track back to help the defence, even Hazard.
Gone are Chelsea's problems in attack; Costa has arrived on the scene. Since moving to the Premier League, the Spaniard has made the transformation from Spanish football look easy.
After four games, he has seven goals, becoming the first player in history to hit such a tally so early into his career in England's top flight.
His goalscoring form has put Chelsea in the driving seat early on in the title race, and they now look a formidable force with the ability to outscore and outmuscle any opponent.
At the Etihad Mourinho could drop either Oscar or Schurrle and play a 4-3-3 with Ramires put into the midfield in order to provide energy and to control the centre of the pitch.
Betting Verdict: CHELSEA 18/10
The match will most certainly have title ramifications and both teams could play it safe. City and Chelsea will be looking at this match as a 'must not lose' scenario and it could turn out to be a delicate sparring match of a game, rather than any high-intensity attacking football. With that being said, the impressive refurbishment of an already strong core, most notably in the shape of outstanding new signings Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas, should help Chelsea edge the win.

Tonight Renaissance face Judea People's Front to decide who will win the Battersea 6 a-side league championship. All eyes will be on this corner of south west London as Renaissance gun for their sixth league title and their first taste of silverware since winning the Vauxhall league last summer.
League supremo John Atkinson, currently recovering from a broken metatarsal, said: "I unfortunately won't be there on Thursday as it's very difficult for me to get around as I'm not allowed to drive, and taking a wheelchair onto the bus (especially with a box full of trophies) isn't much fun! However, I have given the trophies to one of my referees who will present one of them to you at the end of your game. Good luck!"
Dismissing rumours that Top Corner and BT Sports had fiddled with the fixture computer – a rusty Commodore 64 – to bring these two teams together at the end of the season he said: "I had no idea who would be the main contenders in this division so it's great that the fixture list has set it up like this!"
At which point the morphine kicked in: "I'm getting really irritated with useless hospitals! I went back to A&E last night and then I'm back in the fracture clinic again on Friday, just to put some more plaster on a simple fracture! Hopefully you get the winner's trophy."
So it comes down to this: JPF have to win the match to take the league title, every other result gives Renaissance the title – a Renaissance win, a draw, a 12-man brawl, all match balls skied into Battersea Park Road never to return. But it won't be easy for Renaissance – oh no. JPF dealt Renaissance their sole defeat of the season – a high-scoring 5-3 encounter which Renaissance will want to avenge.
Past results have little bearing on this type of play-off show piece and looking into either team's form guide will be as pointless as a chastity belt in a whore house. It might simply come down to which team has the most desire to win. JPF have the best attack in the league, Renaissance the best defence – irresistible force versus the immovable object – something will have to give.
The outcome will be settled by the age old, timelessly omnipotent, trial of all trials. The odyssey of all odysseys. 14th November. A cold wet Thursday night. Wind chill -5 degrees. Pitch more frozen than the scrotal sac of climate change. Floodlights playing up. Partisan crowd beating the drums… boom! boom! Ref letting the game run. Huge reducers right from the get go. Where? Battersea. Where you there?

Unitus Expands Across India With Bandhan Partnership
This was a recent press release by Unitus. India has become a major focus for Unitus, with 500 million poor there. Bandhan, working in the West Bengal state, is a great organization and we are excited to be working with them reach 1 million poor through loans by 2009.
Here is the press release:
Wednesday July 27, 4:00 pm ET
Microfinance Partnership Will Empower 1 Million of India's Poor by 2009
REDMOND, Wash., July 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Unitus (www.unitus.com), an innovative nonprofit organization that helps alleviate poverty by accelerating the growth of microfinance institutions (MFIs) worldwide, today announced a microfinance partnership with Bandhan in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. Through the partnership, Unitus will provide capacity-building consulting, $1.1 million in catalytic debt, and a $100,000 grant for management information systems and human resources, all targeted at helping Bandhan grow from 52,000 to 1 million poor clients by 2009.
"We are privileged to work each day to help the world's very best microfinance institutions become even better," said Unitus President and CEO Geoff Davis. "Bandhan clearly fits this group -- their growth to date, loan methodology, board of directors and operating systems are all world-class. In fact, during the months we were discussing the partnership, they increased their access to an additional 20,000 poor individuals!"
Bandhan operates in West Bengal, one of India's poorest states, using an individual lending methodology that differs from the group lending methodology used in most of India. This methodology helps them serve their clients in a highly personalized, efficient manner. Bandhan also serves very poor rural borrowers while achieving branch profitability, another industry-leading accomplishment. Only 14 percent of the poor people in West Bengal who could use microfinance services to improve their lives currently have access. Bandhan hopes to help fill that gap.
"With Unitus's assistance, we are excited to pursue our aggressive growth targets. Together we will be able to scale to new heights!" exclaimed Mr. Ghosh, Bandhan's founder and Executive Director.
Despite a long, successful history, MFIs still only reach an estimated 16 percent of the 500 million people who could use their services. The microfinance field's challenge is to scale this high-potential industry to fill the enormous supply shortfall. Unitus was created to help transform this opportunity into reality. During 2004, existing Unitus MFI partners doubled the total number of clients served, growth rarely seen in the microfinance industry. Bandhan joins Unitus alongside MFI partners ASA-GV, BSS, Grameen Koota, and SKS in India, Pro Mujer in Mexico, and Jamii Bora Trust in Kenya.
About Unitus
Unitus is a global microfinance accelerator, acting as a social venture capital investor for the microfinance industry. Unitus identifies the highest-potential microfinance institutions (MFIs) in developing countries and helps accelerate their growth through capital investments and capacity-building consulting, thus empowering them to help exponentially more poor people worldwide. In doing so, Unitus aims to demonstrate that MFIs can be run as profitable, large-scale, poverty-focused businesses with links to local capital markets. As of June 2005, Unitus has seven MFI partners worldwide serving more than 399,000 poor clients. Based in Redmond, Washington, USA, and with offices in Bangalore, India, Unitus is a nonprofit organization that relies on innovative financial instruments, and the financial resources of like-minded individuals and foundations, to fulfill its mission.
About Bandhan
Bandhan -- meaning "togetherness" -- offers a variety of microfinance services including microcredit loans, savings, and loan repayment insurance to poor women in both rural and urban areas in India's West Bengal state. Beyond microfinance, Bandhan provides services in micro entrepreneurship, health, education, and disaster management to the disadvantaged community of the society, specially women and children, to help break the vicious circle of poverty.

I was very surprised to read about this 11 days long (!!!) traffic jam in China. My new album « Goto » starts with a song called « Traffic jam ». I've always written lines about it (a never released song even says: « je suis pour la prolifération des automobiles »). My song contains a sound sample from that amazing scene with Jack Nicholson at his best.
In Julio Cortazar's « Tous les feux, le feu », there is a short story called « L'Autoroute du Sud » in which the author describes one imaginary traffic jam that lasts a few days, in the south of France. La vie s'organise. It's funny and very much alive, like it must have been in China... The Luigi Comencini film « L'Ingorgo : Una storia impossibile » (1970) was based on it. It's called « Le grand embouteillage » in French.
Jacques Tati was also fond of traffic jams. He made this movie called « Trafic » ( only one f in French) between 69 and 71. He must have encountered traffic jam in financing the movie, as we find traffic jams in almost every social situation today.

Seahawks NFL Draft Recap
With the way that Super Bowl XLIX ended, the Seattle Seahawks are guaranteed to have a bad taste in their mouth. That taste will still be there for several more months, but now there are some new faces that were drafted and the Seahawks are hoping that they are all a breath mint. The Super Bowl loss against the Patriots showed some areas that the Seahawks needed to address, so they did in the 2015 NFL Draft. Here are the players that the Seahawks selected in the draft this year:
Frank Clark–DE (2nd Rd.)
Tyler Lockett–WR (3rd Rd.)
Terry Poole–OL (4th Rd.)
Mark Glowinski–OL (4th Rd.)
Tye Smith–DB (5th Rd.)
Obum Gwacham–DE (6th Rd.)
Kristjan Sokoli–OG (6th Rd.)
Ryan Murphy–S (7th Rd.)
Overall, the Seahawks' picks provide depth on the offensive line, defensive line, and for a defensive secondary that was hit by some injuries during the Super Bowl. The two players that have the best opportunity to start are WR Tyler Lockett and DB Tye Smith, as there isn't much that will get in the way of them seeing spot starts or providing much-needed relief.
By far the most talked about draft pick this year is Frank Clark, a defensive end out of Michigan. The main reason being because he was kicked off of the Wolverines in November due to being charged with domestic violence and assault after a domestic disturbance in Ohio. There are some questions as to why Seattle would go with this pick, but it is apparently because they believe that he has upside. This is possibly the biggest risk in the draft, but the Seahawks are willing to take a chance on Clark.
Overall draft grade: C+

Feds report $1.3B surplus for first 10 months of fiscal year

With revenues on the upswing and program expenses going down, the federal government could be on track to balance the budget sooner than expected.
Finance Minister Joe Oliver has repeatedly said the Tories will balance the books during the upcoming 2015-16 fiscal year, which begins April 1 and is also an election year.
He said Friday's fiscal update shows the government remains "on track" to achieve that goal.
"It was a commitment we made in the worst days of the recession, and it is a commitment we are going to fulfil," Oliver said in an e-mailed statement.
The government reported a surplus of $1.3 billion for the first 10 months of the current fiscal year, thanks mostly to a $2.2.-billion surplus in January. The government reported a $10-billion deficit for the same 10-month period last year.
The feds also reported Friday that revenues this year are up $7.7 billion (3.6%), while program expenses are down $2.8 billion (1.4%).
The government previously predicted it would have a $2.9-billion shortfall by the end of this fiscal year.
Asked if the recent upturn means the government might balance the books earlier than expected, a source in the minister's office said to "stay tuned" for the spring budget, due out next month.

Better Than Others of this Ilk
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
As this is only .95, it's a nice little listen. Don't think you're going to get in-depth coverage of anything; it's just a relation of a couple of isolated incidents.
If you've listened to books by The Weather Channel before, how does this one compare?
At least this Weather Channel snippet uses background audio of the actual events throughout. There are no canned sounds to make a point. (In one I've listened to in the past, it was punctuated with, "Meow!" and "Woof!") Here, there's audio of the storm chasers.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
This is obviously done by a professional who is used to being on the air and delivering lines with maximum drama. No problem with that.
Was Storm Stories worth the listening time?
Sure, this was barely over 21 minutes. How can I begrudge that?
Any additional comments?
This is a decent little ditty to listen to in between listening to other audiobooks. It's nice to take a breather every now and then, and the storyline here is fairly compelling (with the animals), and the narrator delivers with an urgency that's not too melodramatic.
But if you'd like to save your .95, you're not going to miss anything out-of-this-world exciting...

A mom-of-three was arrested and charged with murder after two of her sons were found dead in their Atlanta home.
"I ain't got no soul no more", Penn said Saturday night during a vigil as he held his other son, 3-year-old Jameel, in his arms.
She was soon arrested for the murders and taken to the Fulton County Jail, where she waived her first appearance in court on felony murder charges.
Neesa Smith, described by the Journal-Constitution as a longtime friend of Williams, said the suspect called her after the children died but before the video call with Penn.
Authorities tell WXIA that Lamora Williams called police on October 13 and said her children were dead.
"I just came from the jail, I also let them know, to put her on suicide watch because she's gonna kill herself", she said.
After investigation, police said they found the mother placed her sons in the oven sometime between midnight Thursday and 11 p.m. Friday, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
Jose learned Penn was one of two people Williams called that night.
Williams' mother, Breanda, told Jose her daughter has struggled with mental health issues her whole life.
When she panned around the room, he saw two of his children motionless on the floor, and immediately called police.
"How does a 1-year-old and a 2-year-old get in the stove?", said Neesha Smith.
The 24-year-old is believed to have recently quit her job because she couldn't find a babysitter and told her friends she'd "had enough". Smith told her to call the police, but she called Penn via video instead.
Officers chose to charge Williams with murder after they said her story to detectives did not add up.
Lamora's sister, Tabitha Hollingsworth, believes the deaths of Ja'karter and Ke'yaunte Penn could have been prevented.
"She's the only one who really knows what happened", Hollingsworth said. "She hasn't been right and what happened three months ago-that the kids' father left her-I told him something tragic is going to happen".

Lachine Canal
The Lachine Canal is a canal passing through the southwestern part of the Island of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, running 14.5 kilometres from the Old Port of Montreal to Lake Saint-Louis, through the boroughs of Lachine, Lasalle and Sud-Ouest. Before the canal construction there was a lake, "Lac St Pierre". The lake and its rivers can be seen on the maps of Montreal of the years 1700, 1744 and on the map titled "The isles of Montreal. As they have been surveyed by the french engineers" (1761).
The canal gets its name from the French word for China (La Chine). The European explorers sought to find a route from New France to the Western Sea, and from there to China and hence auspiciously the region where the canal was built was named Lachine. Currently, the canal, due to the continuous disposal of industrial waste, has the prevalence of harmful substances, although the water quality is said to be good.

Greetings! Quite a crazy, tired, but as always, awesome week here in Albania! Because of a full week of conferences and exchanges, we only had three meager days of working here in Vlore, but we got a good couple handfuls of lessons in and made the best of it. I guess I'll just give you a run-down of the past week:
Monday: Motra Larson's last P-Day in the country. A few last minute things, and then packing, with me mostly not doing much of anything but picking her brain and trying to learn as much from her as possible. It seems like our transfer together went so fast and I really could listen to that girl's stories forever.
Tuesday: Left Vlore at like 6am to go to Tirana for exchanges. Once we got there I helped Motra Larson get all her bags weighed and figured out and then she took off to do "dieing missionary stuff." I got my new companion Motra Bentley and we came back to Vlore and picked up right where we left off. Someone mentioned that it sounds that between having awesome companions and serving in a beautiful coast town that I'm more like on a Senior Trip than a mission. Okay...I can't really deny that, my life is pretty awesome, so my only disclaimer is that we do get lots of work done!
Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday were the normal work days here in Vlore which were good, mostly with everyone just telling us how much they missed Brooku (who I formerly knew as Motra Larson). It's great working with Motra Bentley again though too, and she has really gotten amazing at the language since we served together. She also said the same about me, but let's be honest, when I first was with her I knew absolutely nothing, so any little improvement would appear huge to her. We feel pretty cool though, since we don't know of anyone who got back with a former companion, especially not their trainer, so a major blessing!
Friday: My first Mission Conference! It was in Tirana, so we headed up there at 6am again...you'd think I'm getting used to the trip, but it's still kinda long and I try to spend as much time as possible asleep. :) Elder Causse (he's French, but lives at church headquarters in Germany) was here for our Mission Conference and spoke to us. It was really good and he had a great talk about our desires as missionaries with relation to our success. It was also cool to see the whole mission together for the first time. We are so small...only like 35 or so missionaries total. I also got to meet Motra Yourstone's new trainee, Motra Halabuk. She seems pretty awesome, so she'll be a great addition to us six Motras, although she does have big shoes to fill because Motra Larson was probably one of the most amazing missionaries to step foot in Albania (I realize I'm a little prejudice, but it's true). Anyway, it was a super long day in Tirana and we didn't get home till almost 8pm, which gave us just enough time to go squeeze in one lesson for the day.
Sunday: Just in case I hadn't had enough trips to Tirana this week, we went again on Sunday. It was District Conference, which is for all the members of the church in all of Albania. Elder Causse was there to speak to all of us again, and it was a great meeting. We were able to take a couple of our investigators, and they had a wonderful experience, which was great. In Albania I think there are somewhere around 1,000 members, and at this meeting we had attendance of somewhere in the 300's. I know that sounds like a pretty bad ratio, but it was still an awesome sight to see that many Saints in this huge Tirana Conference Center. At the end of the conference, all the Missionaries went up on the stage and sang "Come Follow Me," which has just been translated into Albania. As we all know I'm not much for singing, especially not in front of people, but it was a pretty cool experience to be part of. I decided the 7+ hours in a hot bus with Albanians was totally worth it to attend that meeting!
So that was the general outline of my week. Here are a couple things that happened to us too, which you probably won't find as funny as I did, but I can at least say I shared them...
Our current house is kinda a dump. As I've mentioned in some of my previous letters we usually don't have running water, etc. Motra Larson and I were always super busy though, so we never had much time to look for a new place, but when Motra Bentley saw the state of the house she said it was time. So we spent a couple mornings this past week walking around asking people about places and looking at a couple. My favorite though was a couple days ago. After a lesson with one of the little member girls, she walked us over to a neighboring communist apartment building (that is mostly all there is here, and we live in a communist apartment building of all concrete, so I didn't think anything of it) where we asked if they knew of any apartments for rent. The woman there told us no and that we wouldn't have any luck in this area of town, but then as we were walking away she called us back and said her friend had a place for rent in that very building. Apparently they were looking for a "specific kind of tenant" but when they found out we were Americans they decided that was good. So we waited for like an hour for the landlord to come with keys to let us see this apartment. I'll never be able to give justice to this place in words, but I'll try to paint a little picture for you. The landlord actually lives in Greece, and hadn't been in the apartment since he got married 20 years before. So it had a little bedroom with an ancient dusty chest of drawers that he said were a wedding gift for him and in the one other room that would be like a living room there were a couple bed frames and mattresses leaning against a wall that he said were newer. There was no kitchen or sink or stove, but he had recently bought a new huge refrigerator that was sitting in the tiny hall way. And the little closet that was used as the bathroom just had a little Turkish toilet in it, which if you don't know what that is, I recommend that you Google it and check out some photos. Basically it is a little hole in the ground with some "foot holds" and you just squat to do your business. I know they are still used here in Albania in public restrooms, but it was the first time seeing one in a house. Needless to say, we told them we weren't sure if the apartment was exactly what we were looking for, but we'd get back with them if we decided we wanted it. After that little experience, we haven't been too motivated to check out any other apartments, but we'll see what the coming week has in store for us.
Another quick story from this morning. We went to the beach like old times to play soccer and frisbee. This time though because it is summer the beach was covered with old, large people (mostly old men in Speedos), so we picked a small area by the shore and started to play football. It was kinda like an American World Cup that all these people who were laying out tanning could enjoy for free. Apparently they were enjoying it too much because one old man came over to us and started telling us that this beach was just for the old Albanian people to enjoy, so we should leave. The six of us all pretended that we couldn't understand or speak Albanian though (usually what we do when we're in trouble...play stupid), and so we were like miming and speaking slow, loud English. Finally we just moved down the beach like 20 yards and picked up the game again. But this time another old man came and wanted to play with us, but we were still caught in the "we don't know Albanian" lie, so we just put our thumbs up and said "very good" and played with him. It surprised me how hard it was to not speak Albanian while we were playing with this guy. I guess that is a good sign!
I guess that is all I have for this week. Sorry I didn't have any more inspirational stories for you all, but just know that I love you all and I love the Gospel. Being a missionary is absolutely awesome (and I'm not just talking about all the funny, random things we do). I love helping people and teaching about Jesus Christ and his restored church. I know the Church is true!
Have a great week!

How to Approach a Professor (part2)
After I notice reasonable visit in one of my earlier posts https://prosuncsedu.wordpress.com/2011/04/03/how-to-approach-a-professor-for-funding-assistantship-admission-supervison – I thought it might be helpful for those – looking forward to approach a professor, to have a look at a real attempt. This is one of my letters issued to professors which drew fair attention from most of them and I would say, this letter really worked for me well. Anyways, tried to anonymize it a little to protect some privacy, other than that I post it verbatim.
Dear Dr. X,
I am XX. I have completed my B.Sc in Computer Science & Engineering from University of Dhaka in 2008.
I am very much interested in Web Personalization, Information Retrieval, And Information Visualization .I am specially interested in Web Usability, Navigability & Information Visualization.
I have one research work done in the field of Web Usability/Navigability. The paper is titled "Pagemap: A dynamic user guiding approach to the most relevant and popular pages in a website". Currently the paper is under review of ICCIT Bangladesh ( http://www.iccit-bd2010.net/). I am attaching the paper for your kind review.
I am very interested on how easily make the information accessible to web user. Recently I am doing a research work on ' Facilitating web page interactivity in personalized web browsing by Tagging web page components' . It will help a user to manage tagging in a web page which will offer better interact within a web site.
I am also interested about Information visualization. My interest is how to visualize a large scale document effectively. I like to apply visualization approach in web sites for quick perception of the purpose of a web site .
I have another paper under review ( in ICCIT'2010 Bangladesh) which is namely "A Proposal For Enhancements In Pair Programming Model" in the field of Software Engineering. I am also attaching the paper with the mail.
I have a good academic background as well. I have scored 73% marks of by B.Sc level which is nearly 3.75 when converted to CGPA.
I am very much interested about pursuing my higher studies and research in the field of HCI. It will be a great opportunity if I can work under your supervision.
Thank you.
I am waiting for your kind consideration.
Hope it would help. Thanks.

We've mentioned the new 'valuation' form - BT 1 (Rev. 7/04) which requires a signature from the owner of cattle to be Compulsorily Purchased BEFORE valuation. When the valuer (whom he cannot now nominate) has pronounced sentence, having signed the form, the owner has no right of appeal.
Even this cursory type of valuation we suspect will be 'culled' after Christmas as Defra's new Banding system comes into force, after the usual cursory 'Consultation' excercise. SVS field staff say that they do not expect to implement the new system on farm - which leaves a YTS on minimum wage to tick the appropriate boxes.
This is what he / she will have to work with:
(Only a proposal at present - comments by Christmas Eve)
Male or Female. (That shouldn't give too much trouble - or will it??)
Beef or Dairy. (Could be tricky on dual purpose breeds)
Pedigree or Non Pedigree.
(We have been told that Breed Societies are not accepting new member's cattle for registration if those animals are already under Tb restriction. New herds can only be accepted and registered when clear. The new form BT 1 excludes grading up animals from 'pedigree' prices . They will be classed as 'non pedigree'. So Defra have cottoned on to animals for the 'chop' becoming ' pedigree' in an afternoon, using unclassified data)
Age. Under 2 months.
2 - 10 months or 2 - 12 months.
10 - 18 months or 12 - 24 months.
over 18 months or over 24 months.
Pregnant or non pregnant aged 18 months / 24 months or over.
Calved, with or without calf at foot.
This age banding appears too wide to be accurate.
In further cost cutting measures, Defra are relying totally on BCMS (British Cattle Movement Service) identities and not attaching their own uniquely numbered 'Reactor Tags' to animals once identified, inspected and valued. (We reserve comment on this one.)
The Cleansing and Disinfecting notice normally handed out at the same time as notice of intended slaughter, is now 'discretionary', depending on Post mortem findings. Only if open lesions which SVS consider capable of onward transmission are found, will a form be issued.
It has been wryly pointed out to the editors that given the amount of m.bovis bacteria being plastered across cattle grazing areas, feeding troughs and buildings by infected badgers, should farmers take the C&D notice literally, they would fall foul of the Environment Agency for polluting the whole area with highly toxic chemicals!
A most extraordinary response to a highly infectious zoonosis.
Kill as many cattle as you like Mrs. Beckett, but that bacteria is still there - and it's coming to a farm near you.

I'm afraid the farming industry needs to take a reality check when it comes to bovine TB ..... numerous independent reports have proven that taxpayers are footing the bill for massive over compensation claims from farmers. At long last DEFRA is getting a grip and sorting this problem out. The way the farming lobby are kicking up a fuss is all the evidence anyone needs that farmers have had it too good for too long on compensation.
Further, independent evidence from Reading University prooves that a large number of farmers are actually making a profit from being under TB restrictions. Again it is us taxpayers that are footing the bill. How can this have been allowed to happen ?
With DEFRA ministers not expected to release the results of the Krebs trials until 2007 surely the farming industry must now demonstrate that they are taking every precaution to prevent TB spreading and reduce the burden on the taxpayer. That means pre- and post movement testing of all cattle in high incidence areas (and yes, farmers should pay for this - not us taxpayers) and doing everything they can to tighten on farm biosecurity (including farm health plans).
Anyway, apologies for the rambling nature of this post. I don't expect anyone to reply (afterall, very few replies are ever posted on this blog making me think hardly anyone ever reads the posts in the first place)
- Matthew said...
Thanks for the post, and yes we do try and reply.
We do not know who reads the blog - but you did!
Reading university report showed that 25 percent of dairy and 35 percent of beef 'appeared to profit' from being under restriction. But no one except Reading know the details of their case studies. Whether they used purely cattle values or the knock on consequential whole farm figures.
If you have the time, please check out the authors of this site, Matthew 1,2,3,4,5 & 6.
Our herds are / were totally closed with no cattle being purchased - but we still lost cattle to TB. Also check in archives some of the 'advantages' of being under restriction, with a wildlife reservoir which farmers are not allowed to control.
We agree with you that the taxpayer should not be disadvantaged, but Tb is a very serious zoonosis, notifiable to Communicable disease section of Public Health Dept. It is their rules which are followed + OIE (Office of International Epizootics).
Succesive Government policies have so santitised control of wildlife vectors that we as farmers are now uninsurable for this disease. And neither keeping a closed herd or top notch bio security has kept my herd clear.
The sort of biosecurity I've heard being undertaken by one farmer is horrendous.
He has surrounded a badger sett which was in the centre of his farm with wire mesh sunk 8 feet deep, and 8 feet high. He has not touched either badgers or sett, but 50 badgers inside the cordon are starving.
That is bio security in practise.
I prefer healthy badgers and healthy cattle.
A final point has to made that if farmers are squeezed into a financial corner, then the type of 'bio security' I have described above will unfortunately become more widespread - if they wish to stay in business. In fact Mr. Bradshaw has said 'Fence them out', without we suspect knowing what that means in practice.
Thanks Matthew. You have raised some interesting points.
The Reading University research looks pretty conclusive to me and finally kicks into touch the much quoted NFU statistic that the average cost of a TB breakdown is £36k. You'll never get a farmer to say it in public, but we all know some are profiting from having TB.
Yes, TB is a zoonotic disease, but the risk to humans is minimal. The current Government Strategy says that protecting human health is the top priority (it remains to be seen whether protection of human health remains the top priority in the new revised Strategy). There are only a handful of bovine TB cases in humans. With that in mind why are the Government spending £88m per year to control a disease which is of a low risk to humans ?
- Matthew said...
You'll have to ask government why they are prepared to spend £88 million per year - or £2billion in 10 - NOT controlling Tb in cattle.
From where I sit, it's because they see more votes in a dead cow than a dead badger - but after 4 years under restriction with a closed herd , I'm cynical..
Also many of those involved in this growth industry - 20 per cent / per year - (see Beneficial Crisis on the site) are not going to give up their income quietly.
As you say, the risk to humans from milk / meat is minimal if not zero. That said any animal with Tb is a potential threat to humans, and a report is sent to Public Health, Communicable Diseases if cattle are involved.
The editors are aware of reports from the USA, who are alarmed at the growth of wildlife reservoirs of TB in countries like the UK, and point out that such countries may well be storing up trouble for the future in human beings.
The gist of the argument is that by allowing Tb to flourish in the badgers, the bacteria will be much more available to 'spill over' into humans, either by direct contact or via domestic pets (see The Cat's out of the Bag). But as Tb is a slow growing organism, the effects of this exposure will not be felt until the carrier is in need of a big immune response to say cancer, pneumonia etc., when the Tb lesions will break down and be a secondary killer. They point out that Aids is not the biggest killer of humans, Tb as a secondary is - either of m.bovis or m.tuberculosis.
A friend read your post, and asked us to point out that until his herd went under restriction, he had 10 pedigree bulls entered for the Perth Bull sales. These animals, superbly bred would have been worth anywhere between £3-10 thousand each as breeding bulls. They are now unsaleable as when a herd is under restriction, the only option to move cattle off farm is for direct slaughter, except on the rare occasion when they can be moved farm to farm with a Defra license and much reduced value. Another breeder has had a contract mated pedigree bull refused for entry into an AI stud, for international use because it "has been on a holding where Tb has been confirmed". He's thrilled with that - which is what I meant re Reading's figures. One animal or whole farm profit / loss?.
The taxpayer should not have to pay a single penny, if Government would tackle the wildlife reservoir of Tb as well as sending lorryloads of cattle to the skip. Doing one without the other is crazy and expensive and out of farmer's hands.
Post movement testing at 2 months after the move is more sensible than pre. and within reason, the farmer should pay. If the herd has a large throughput of cattle then more frequent Tb testing is probably a good idea anyway, and then Defra pay.
I put this suggestion to Defra 7 years ago, as 'date of next due Tb test'. but as with many 'sensible' suggestions, (not my words - Professor Steve Harris's) it was ignored.

How refreshing – somebody that disagrees. How different – maybe unique -somebody that believes that the Krebs Trials are worthwhile and something other than a fundamentally flawed time-consuming exercise; something other than a - so far - seven years excuse by this government to accommodate the likes of the sad single-issue NFBG which is in total denial and the members of the Political Animal Welfare angry brigade; something other than an attempt to postpone the day that a countrywide badger cull (government sponsored or otherwise) is necessarily carried out.
With the exception of this web site - the current bovine TB issue is based neither on facts nor on science - ; rather it's based on politics and political bias and it has been made an issue of the soft loony (sloons?) left versus the right. The starting point is – in a perfect world – "NO BADGER – NO bTB" – didn't Lord Zuckerman say that in 1980? That's where we should start! That's the reality check we need!
The writer's comments about 'compensation' are naïve; the CAP has existed for many years – it's not the (British) farmer's fault that it exists and that it is the way it is. And didn't New Zealand successfully move to a non-subsidy set up? – but then again NZ politicians are serious – they are also treating the bTB wildlife reservoir appropriately – by proactively getting rid of it! You see the British taxpayer gets what he pays for; if government pays subsidies and compensation – then farmers can't kill sick badgers. If you don't – then the farmer kills the sick badgers – simple. It's your choice 'anonymous'! What do you want? You can't have both!
So because the government admits to failing to control the wildlife reservoir of bTB (in primarily badgers) (6,000 cattlle slaughtered in 1997 – 30,000 in 2003) it, of course, feels it necessary to compensate the farmers whose businesses are suffering directly. Bloody hell - the anonymous writer will be soon be wanting a 'right to roam' everywhere and to ban fox hunting: Oh! – I nearly forgot ………
- DICKFORTH said...
With interest I read the comment by Anonymous about the cost to the Taxpayer with regard bTB, perhaps someone could tell me the cost to the Taxpayer of Illegal emigrants,social scroungers,the proposed Government funded Gypsy camps and the ever increasing cost of MP`s expence accounts to name but a few.
Yes there are bad apples in every bowl, and I expect Farming is no exeption, there will be no doubt that a small minority will have made money out of TB but, the majority has sufered from the disruption to their business, the loss of expensive and some times irriplaceable blood lines and the cost of labour of repeated cattle testing.
The answer is simple, If Two species of animals can contract a disease then both can spread it, if you only test and cull one species and let the other roam free you will never rid this country of TB, and until we do Farmers SHOULD receive compensation.

Clear Lake Falconhoops: BOOSTER CLUB
Started in the summer of 2009, the Boys Basketball Booster Club meets the second Wednesday of each month (not in the summer months) usually at 6:30 p.m. at Krueger Field House. Other meetings are called as required. The cost for joining the Booster Club is $50 per family per year or $30 per individual.
To download a membership application form go to the "Handouts" section, "Booster Club Handouts" Page. You can also get Booster Club membership applications at the concession stand during any Clear Lake Boys basketball home game or tournament.
Meeting Minutes for October 2016
CLHS Boys Basketball Booster Club Meeting
October 5, 2016
The meeting was called to order at 6:34 pm by Melvin LeBlanc, President.
Opening Remarks – President, Melvin LeBlanc began with thanks to those who have stepped up recently to lead committees within the club. He mentioned Brenda Cowan - Programs, Dawn Navarro - Spirit Wear, Jennifer Eastin- Membership and Dawn Clary, Co-Lead Concessions. He also thanked everyone who helped volunteer and donate drinks for the Gulf Coast Shoot-out. Sponsorship activity is going well this year. Norman Frede Chevrolet is potentially going to sponsor the purchase of 18 additional backpacks for the players. The Scoreboard has received a commitment from Texas Citizens Bank for $15,000 over 6 years. The shooting gun, donated by the Clear Lake Islamic Center should be delivered to the school by Thursday, October 6.
Homecoming Parade - Merita Parker said that one fire truck is available for about 12 boys to ride on (will be determined by coaches). She needs three more trucks and/or a flatbed trailer to provide seats for the remaining players. If no donated trailer is available, she may rent one from UHaul for $30.
Other requests for help with the parade:
volunteers to help create decorations on Monday
volunteers to help decorate the trucks at 4:30 Wednesday
14 (empty) ice chests needed as seats in the truck beds.
Candy donations – each player should bring a bag/No stick or hard candies
Car Wash – Suzanne Sambell. The Homecoming car wash will be held on Saturday, October 15 from 8:30-2:30 in the Popeye's parking lot. Suzanne will give pre-sale tickets to the coaches for distribution. Each player is asked to sell 15 tickets, if possible. All players should participate in the car wash. An email will be sent with details and volunteer requests.
3x3 Tournament – Was originally scheduled for Saturday, October 22. However, because of the reconstruction of the Field House gym floor, it has been postponed likely until the spring. The coordinator for the event is Tim Jennings. Confirmed that teams will consist of boys grade 6 and up.
Concessions – Paula Lucas. She will recruit volunteers soon and will need additional help for the December tournaments, including the Krueger Classic. Reminded everyone that parents are expected to donate drinks to help keep stock filled. She will create a volunteer signup soon and will email.
Away Game Meals – The club is in need of someone to coordinate the meals for players this year. Last year, volunteers made the sandwiches for the players, saving a lot of money. Various options were proposed. First away game is December 6. Please contact Melvin if you are interested in helping.
Treasurer – Karen Zimpfer provided a budget update, our current balance is $9,670.09. Karen noted that the booster club officers have suggested that we should consider changing our banking provider to Texas Citizens Bank in light of their support/sponsorship of the Field House scoreboard. The membership unanimously approved of this idea.
Coaches Corner – Coach Penders Noted that there will have to be some morning practices until the floor refinishing is complete, which should be by early November. The team rosters are not confirmed yet, but as always he hopes to keep as many players as possible.
Carlisle – Krueger Classic Tournament – December 1-3. Clear Lake is the host and we will need many volunteers for all three days of the tournament for: concessions sales, ticket takers and entrance door attendants, clock table, and hospitality room workers. Please mark your calendars and make some time available to help with this important event. Coach Frye noted that there are a total of 240 volunteer spots to be filled, including providing meals on Friday, and Saturday and Hospitality room food for 20-50 people. More details will be available soon.
Coach Frye- mentioned that each player must have a completed "Sportsman Standards/Parent Expectations" form turned in before they can participate in official practices. Please make sure your son has turned this in.
Don Wilkerson – Acknowledged Gary Stenerson among the attendees as a former Booster Club president who has done a lot for the booster club and is willing to share his knowledge and help once again this year.
Membership forms are available, and those that have not yet joined were encouraged to do so as soon as possible.
The Meeting was adjourned at 7:42.

First we were here:
(10,000 fans in Allen Fieldhouse, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. We are somewhere in the yellow circle.)
Then we went here:
(Looking south down Massachusetts St. at 40,000 fans, Lawrence, Kansas.)
Very good times.

You've Been Very, Very Bad
According to a recent study conducted by the Josephson Institute (yeah, I haven't heard of it, either), today's teens are a bunch of budding criminals.
Of the thirty-thousand high school students surveyed, 30% said they had stolen something from a store in the past year. 42% said they sometimes lie to save money. And a whopping 64% claim to have cheated on a test in the past year.
Even more frightening? 26% of the students said they had even lied while taking the survey!
(See more of the results here.)
The Josephson Institute seems to believe that these numbers are evidence that society is crumbling around us. What do you think? Do these results seem accurate to you? The only thing that really shocks me about all of this is that people would be so honest while taking a survey.

I read about this in the newspaper, and the article said that the people conducting the survey think people cheat more often nowadays because we are so much more stressed. I believe it!
- December 2, 2008 at 11:56 PM
- Kitty said...
XD 26% lied while taking the survey

The survey results don't surprise me. And the fact that are they being honest whilst participating in the survey? Psaw!
- December 3, 2008 at 5:27 AM
Bad, bad bad. Not good AT ALL.
And the 26% who lied while taking the survey? What if that was a lie? *gulps*
- December 3, 2008 at 11:24 AM
- Meredith said...
Oh, yeah, we're all a bunch of criminals. (I bet the people who did the survey did each of those things when they were kids) But what about The Rebelution?
- December 3, 2008 at 3:09 PM
- Some Lost Melody said...
Wow. I would never do any of that stuff. If you are going to lie why wouldn't you lie about lying on the survey? I don't get liars. xD
- December 3, 2008 at 5:09 PM
- Queen Of Useless Information said...
I think its depressing that adults really think that kids are just little criminals. My dad saw that survey in the paper and was freaking out and basically said that us kids are just evil and that adults give us to much independence.
- December 3, 2008 at 5:44 PM
- Ren (All By MySHELF) said...
I would never think of stealing anything... in real life. I have thought about mastermind heists on a few occasions, but only for books. I plan to write two or three series about teenage spies.
- December 3, 2008 at 5:50 PM
OK, I admit it. I'm a hardened criminal. I shoplift, deal drugs, cheat, vandalize, forge signatures, rob banks, burglarize houses,joyride in stolen cars, and lie about it on surveys. When I get too bored, I stalk and kill random strangers and stash the bodies in my closet. I can't help it! I'm a teenager! Aaaaah!
- December 3, 2008 at 6:25 PM
Hah, that's cool!
Nellie, They couldn't have lied on the last one, because then they have lied. (I think.)
- December 3, 2008 at 7:51 PM
Maybe some people were lying about lying on the survey?... lo :D or maybe they took it anonymously?
- December 3, 2008 at 7:58 PM
- Irregular Kiki said...
Meredith: I totally agree with you. Okay, shoplifting, maybe not everyone does it - it's actually a real crime, a bad one. But cheating in tests? Almost everyone I know does it!
- December 3, 2008 at 10:24 PM
- LittleChar said...
I think after you cross any line in regards to the law you've crossed it.
everybody sins
we are all very likely candidates for criminal genius :)

Hazel: So THAT'S where the unbearable stink is coming from! Rotting bodies!XD
Irregular Kiki: Do YOU cheat, or just your friends? :P
- December 4, 2008 at 11:07 AM
Maybe they would have gotten different results if they surveyed different people. How do they know those results were out of the ordinary, anyway?
Maybe the people who lied said that they HAD stolen something/cheated/lied to save money. You never know.
- December 4, 2008 at 4:25 PM
Lolz, though unsurprising.

I have heard of this survey before and even filled one out once in high school.
It is possibly the most useless and least reliable survey I have ever seen.
- December 4, 2008 at 7:19 PM
Nellie: I do cheat. Whether it's giving answers to another person, or getting them from another person, I'm being honest, I do cheat. But not always of course. Just in desperate situations.
- December 4, 2008 at 7:40 PM
- falcon said...
Leave it to adults to be boring and call us criminals.
I mean, really, the correct term is "scam artists"
- December 4, 2008 at 11:18 PM
OK, so if some of the people lied while taking the survey, the results are bogus. End of story.
Not to mention, if there are 26% who lied, wouldn't that mean that there would be more who lied about lying? Making the survey even more bogus!
Adults these days think we are all a bunch of criminals. Which is totally wrong, they're is no reason kids now would lie/cheat/etc more then kids in the 80's or whatever.
Not to mention they say we are criminals, then go off and talk about not being bias.
Wow that came on a bit strong, didn't mean it to be so blunt, sorry! :)
- December 5, 2008 at 12:33 AM
I mean, honestly. I've never stolen any thing from a store.
- December 13, 2008 at 12:35 PM
Oh wait, never mind.

text: 'Tindahan natin' … A tiny-mini-store just next to the main gate of the Jose Panganiban National High School (JPNHS) … recently posted on Facebook, this picture instantly drew various comments from Mambulaoans who saw it. Apparently, the structure used to be a kiosk before it was converted into store for various items that included school supplies. Some said it is an illegal activity while others said it is making the site of the school's main gate unsightly. One Facebook holder commented that it's owned by somebody "close" to the baranggay chairman of Parang. Taken by Mambulaoan Eric Espana sometime last year, the picture hints that the Parang-Larap road cementing project was just starting. - MWBuzzpic

I met the antithesis of Mary Poppins this past week. I'll call her Pary.
Actually...there are some similarities. Pary and Mary are both brunettes, slender, and tall. And both carry a large bag. That's where any resemblance ends. While Mary's bag is magic and can produce all sorts of wonderful items, Pary's 50 pound purse is just for show. I never saw a single item removed.
I do know a little about the contents of the bag though - well, at least what it didn't carry. I would know since I was the one all the girls, including Pary, came to if they needed something. Anything. Everything.
Pary's bag didn't contain:
- a single writing utensil. I went through 20 pens last week. 20 pens. 11 girls total. 1 big purse. Not even trigonometry will solve that equation.
- the schedule of camp activities. After every event I had to answer the same question. "Charlotte, what are we doing now?" Well, what does your schedule say? "Lunch" Then I suppose we will be eating.
- a water bottle - although I had three at any given time in my backpack belonging to various girls.
- gum - the most sought after item all week.
- an umbrella just in case. ...that would have been in my backpack as well.
- "girl stuff" for "that time".
- paper to write notes from class. Of course, if you don't have a pen, what's the point in having paper...

Nathaniel "Nate" Piven is a writer on the rise in Brooklyn. He has worked hard and lived lean in order to achieve his current success. With a book that will soon be published, Nate is missing one thing in his life: a meaningful relationship with a woman.
As he dates (and breaks up with) several women, readers come to understand Nate's problem: he is a jerk. This guy thinks that he is so smart and so wonderful. And, of course, he is not. It is of little surprise to anyone that he is still single. He knows nothing about women, sex, and love.
While I did not hate this novel, I really did dislike Nate and all of his girlfriends. These folks are totally hate-able. On the other hand, I couldn't wait to see who Nate would date next. Go figure.
