Liverpool's win at Villa in chalkboards
Fabio Borini and Rickie Lambert scored in either half to earn Liverpool a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa on Saturday – analyse the encounter now with match data and chalkboards from Opta.
The Reds went in front midway through the first half at Villa Park when Borini pounced on a pinpoint delivery from Jordan Henderson to direct a finish beyond Brad Guzan.
Lambert later replaced the Italian and settled the Barclays Premier League contest by dispatching an accurate conversion into the far corner with 10 minutes remaining.

If someone were to walk into your classroom, what would they see?
I've been doing a lot of classroom walk-throughs recently as part of my internship. It is very interesting to have an opportunity to see teaching from the "other side." It also makes me think about what someone would have thought at any given time when they walked through my classroom. (hmm….)
I'd love to give teachers the benefit of the doubt- having been one, butI have seen only a hand-full of classrooms that I would want my child in. I have seen many teachers doing what I might call "old-school." I also have seen teaching as a check-list. They are covering the standard, but it is simply that- covering. Where is the thought behind it. A glimmer of something that would suggest the teacher understands how this piece of information connects into a bigger picture… a glimmer of excitement, passion.
A science teacher who made sure to incorporate a self-assessment rubric and was actually "caught" in the act of supporting/guiding a child in using the self-assessment rubric.
A kindergarten teacher that still had "play-time." There were two little boys in the kitchen area making sandwiches and sharing.
A teacher who recorded her hands modeling a math lesson (guided practice) using math manipulatives on her i-pad, which was then used as a center so that she was able to pull another small group and conduct a guided math lesson.
These lessons were my glimmer…
All teachers/retired teachers feel free to share your best ideas/lessons — so my hope and others' hope can grow.

Had an interesting discussion with students from 3d form course this morning. I got the impression that many people felt swayed by 'Change the way your drink' but that maybe my intended results are not clear enough to satisfactorily conclude my aims. Its interesting to observe how as soon as people you realise you may be on to something, the more critical they become-totally fair enough considering a goo discussion is always needed to swing you either way.
I am aware of the multiple aims within this project, making it harder for me and all to understand its exact point, but i feel the revelation will come with progress so i guess i better just carry on.
Important current inconveniences also make it harder, particularly facilitating the re-fill process. As it stands there are not many fountains where you can re-fill your bottle....but my argument is we have taps everywhere..in every house and building- but i don't think this is good enough- i must work out a way to address this issue. - should i be addressing fountain people, yes i should...dont just talk about it- DO it!- so...talk to the person in charge in college.
Another great question is- what about the competition of new materials that are better then plastic...biopolymers for example?....is stainless steel the best material?- this must be researched- and finally, the convenience aspect....how to make the bottle collapsable- i'm certain this is possible- must find someone who can help me explore this- or do i just do it?- this is the constant annoyance of this project.....shall i do it myself or search for help? -WHAT IS MY ROLE?- at the moment everything... much more to think about.
To reassure its not a lost cause...Here's an encouragement to improve the way we treat our water .

Addressing the discussion we had on social commentary and novels, I have a somewhat difficult to articulate point. I tend to be all for the idea of not forcing an interpretation onto a text; just get me started on "Death of the Author" at some point and you'll witness me unleashing my mighty viking fury. That said, I think there is a lot to be said for unintentional subtext, while still respecting the author's initial point. One student in class mentioned the preponderance of poor people in sci-fi, fighting amongst each other or against an oppressor. They said that they felt that the authors may not have intended a social commentary in each text, and I think this is true, and it is certainly not my will to impose upon the author, for it is their art. That said, I feel that this would certainly constitute an inadvertent social commentary, as the author did not pull the concept of strife in poverty from thin air. In short, without meaning to do so, or deliberately in many cases, the author has recreated an aspect of society which they've previously observed, rendering the text at the very least an observation, if not an actual commentary.
On a slightly different note:
I think that when reading a novel, individuals should be aware of the potential for social critique, regardless of genre. As one of the Capstone presentations noted tonight: just because it isn't serious doesn't mean it's not insightful. (This could likely be applied to our discussion of happy vs tragic endings as well, come to think of it.) Novels of all sorts provide a wealth of unique perspectives and approaches to societal problems. Above all else, this class has taught me to explore new fields of literature and therein find meaning, and this is a truly valuable lesson. For me, it means straying from fantasy and sci-fi, but for others it may mean diving into those very fields. I have no apt words to close this post, only shall I say that it has been an honor and privilege to study alongside you all.

Send your pick to firstname.lastname@example.com. •••• JULY/AUGUST 2017 | AALL SPECTRUM 21 1 BETTER THAN BEFORE: MASTERING THE HABITS OF OUR EVERYDAY LIVES by Gretchen Rubin (Crown Publishers, 1 edi- tion, March 17, 2015). "Rubin is a former editor of the Yale Law Journal and clerk to Sandra Day O'Connor. Relying on her earlier happiness research, she classifies personality types into Four Tendencies, based on how individuals respond to expectations: Upholder, Questioner, Obliger, or Rebel. Understanding my Upholder tendency has helped me to change my habits in positive ways, such as no longer hitting the snooze button. One sug- gestion is to make good habits convenient and bad habits inconvenient. Is there one easy thing we can all do every day to be happy? Yes: make your bed, or don't make your bed, which- ever makes you happier." Heather J. E. Simmons; Law & Business Reference Librarian; University of Illinois College of Law; Champaign, IL 2 THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN edited by Leonard W. Labaree, Ralph L. Ketcham, Helen C. Boatfield, and Helene H. Fineman (Yale University Press, 2 edition, April 10, 2003). "A current play has Franklin sing that he made himself from thin air. This book makes clear that in reality he systematically chose the virtues he wanted to develop and focused on each in order of importance. I remember reading the account many years ago and thinking this approach makes a lot of sense for a left-brained introvert like myself. Franklin's accomplish- ment in developing the traits he sought to possess gives me hope that I can choose what I want to become by focusing on one trait at a time, to become the ideal version of myself."

Reuben Clark Law School; Brigham Young University; Provo, UT 4 TURNING THE MIND INTO AN ALLY by Sakyong Mipham (River- head Books, reprint edition, January 6, 2004). "A lot has been written about stress in the workplace. Not coinci- dentally, a lot has also been written about mindfulness and self-awareness as tools to counter those stresses. But no books have been written so clear as this one. The notion of "cutting through spiritual mate- rialism" resounds throughout, and the simple instructions are clear: meditate and be mind- ful. Just do it. The techniques taught are worth any person's time, but the book's vibrant philosophy of mindfulness—off the meditation cushions— truly makes it a great read." Kyle K. Courtney; Copyright Advisor; Harvard University; Cambridge, MA 3 GETTING THINGS DONE: THE ART OF STRESS-FREE PRODUCTIVITY by David Allen (Penguin Books; Revised edition, March 17, 2015). "The day I started my first law library job, my new boss handed me this book: 'I just read this, and I'm converted,' she said. Relieved it was a business manual, I read my copy eagerly. It was full of useful information, including 'you'll always have something to do, so suit your task to the chunk of time and energy you have available.' Break projects down into discrete, small steps that you can finish quickly and cross off your list—this gets you into the habit of finishing things. It lets you focus on what you can accomplish right now. After reading the book, I too was converted." Jocelyn Stilwell-Tong; Law Librarian; California Sixth District Court of Appeal; San Jose, CA

Price: $8.95 ($8.95 at Amazon)
Action Philosophers is a great comic, combining witty writing and art with actual informational content about philosophy. Their off-kilter sensibilities, which re-envision philosophers through a pop culture lens, results in this volume in the memorable cross of Karl Marx with Rambo, Derrida with the Terminator and Isaac Luria, creator of the Kabbalah, with Doctor Strange. Amidst these pop-culture laden visuals is a very straightforward, heady analysis of these mens' lives and the philosophy they refined and espoused. I'll be honest, this volume gets into existentialism and such a little too heavily for me, and I found my eyes just glazing over at the deeper exploration of more complicated philosophies, as opposed to the first volume, but there's still plenty to keep the mind and funny bone occupied. And their take on Karl Marx was both informative and possibly the funniest of the bunch except for Plato in the original trade. Check them both out, the trades are ridiculously cheap and really good.

Keeping it Fresh
In this age of changing social mores and emerging technology every person and business is in a constant state of renewal and reinvention. Corporations are rebranding in an effort to fit the present economic climate and PR teams across the business sector work tirelessly to bring their companies' identities and mission statements in line with current trends.
So basically, the best way to get out of the mid-winter blues is reinvention, but what are the best methods of achieving this on a personal level? Overcoming the wind and exceedingly disgusting amounts of snow is difficult in itself, but Punxsutawney Phil has called for Old Man Winter's exit—it's just a matter of time. With the change of season a transition comes more naturally.
An easy way to reinvent oneself is as simple as getting a new haircut. Sure it might be a little impractical to cut my hair short in winter, but it can't be as bad as starving myself in order to model during Fashion Week. Other simple methods are finding a few new (or rediscovered) clothes or finding somewhere new. Though these work for quick and easy improvements, the trick is encouraging more permanent and positive changes.
With the recent upset in the Astrological Signs, perhaps attention is best shifted to the Chinese Zodiac where the year has recently shifted to that of the rabbit. As my sign tells me, I'm prone to "…to seek new adventures," so it's only natural that I look for something different. Thankfully my return to work at MTC has brought a new show, and thus new people walk right into my life… or at least up to my window.
Perhaps one walk we should all be doing is the Egyptian. Never before in our generation have we seen an insurrection like that being demonstrated in Egypt. As the protest strengthens and President Hosni Mubarak foolishly refuses to leave the country, international support begins to favor the people of Egypt. But could the people of the United States ever unite in such strength?
Demonstrations continue frequently in Washington, D.C. and across the country, but nothing that rivals the call for democracy heard in Egypt. Our nation's history remembers people who have called for change and marched down streets demanding action. The pulse of change thrums though the country now, but our complacency keeps us operating as zombies in a haze of news feeds and monotony.
Hopefully that spirit of revolt can break the fog and the Year of the Rabbit will be one of self-discovery and adventure. Now that the weather finally begins to warm, I can feel a new pace coming, and I'm excited for it, because before I know it that quarter-century celebration and the end of the world will be at my doorstep, and then I'll really have something to worry about.

Cool Flicks
Here's what we're eagerly anticipating appearing in a living room near us...... Star Wars - Revenge Of The Sith with more action than you can shake a light sabre at, Batman Begins looks like a very dark atmospheric film, War Of The Worlds looks like it will be right up our street with those pesky aliens trying to take over the world again, Fantastic Four should be fun, we loved X-Men and this looks more or less the same.
The one Debbie is really looking forward to is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, not for the chocolate or the oompa loompas, but a very tasty Johnny Depp!

Was at the movies last night and saw a preview for the Fantastic Four. It looks really good. I remember the old cartoon series, "It's clobbering time!"
We were at the movies to see Mr. & Mrs. Smith. 7/10 (and that's being generous) from this movie goer. Pass the popcorn please.

Have you seen Batman Begins yet?

Tonic - "If You Could Only See"
"If you could only see the way she loves me, maybe you would understand why I feel this way about our love and what I must do... If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says she loves me..."
I loved this song as a kid in junior high. It starts out simple with a guitar and then kicks in the bass and drums. It was music to my ears!
Candlebox - "Far Behind"
This was the ballad I heard on the radio that inspired this post.
While I was only in 3rd or 4th grade at the time this song was released, I wasn't introduced to it until I was in high school and I completely fell in love with it. Musically it's strong, lyrically, it's got one of those choruses and hooks that you can easily sing along with in the car (which I often do when this one comes on).
Guns 'N Roses - "November Rain"
Amusing story behind this one - the summer between 7th and 8th grade (summer 1997) I had an internet boyfriend. Now this back before sites like eHarmony, match.com, chemistry.com, etc were household names and if you told anyone you were dating someone online, you'd get strange looks and people would try to tell you that your relationship didn't count. But it did for me and my internet boyfriend. We'd chat online regularly through Prodigy Classic's early form of an instant messenger and on rare occasions we'd sneak phone calls to each other where he would sometimes play me songs on his guitar, including Guns and Roses. I want to say he played me part of this one too and that's how it became "our song." Eventually my parents found out I had an online boyfriend and freaked (as most parents would back then), cut communication for awhile and eventually we both moved on in life.
But I still remember this song. They lyrics are sweet and rolling in at 9 minutes long, this ballad tells a story. I also love how it's in 3 different movements: the first is soft with piano, then the 2nd is the main melody - the body of the song - where it combines all the elements such as guitars, drums, strings, etc, then the third - my favorite - you have all the same elements, but throw in some neat guitar shredding by Slash combined with the heaviness of the piano and strings and WOW! You got yourself something REALLY NEAT going on!
Bush - "Glycerine"
"Don't let the days go by..."
Ahhh Gavin Rossdale, how do I <3 thee! Gwen Stefani is one lucky lady!
This was another song I fell in love with back in junior high. This one starts out with just Gavin gently playing a guitar with some very subtle bass and then the strings chime in. What makes this song work is that it has beautiful build up to the chorus, then it quiets down, working it's way back up each time. With Gavin's vocals and the strings it gives it that rock ballad edge without going over the top or ever getting really really heavy like some rock ballads do.
The Smashing Pumpkins - "Tonight, Tonight"
I remember being fascinated by this video when I was in 6th grade and as I grew older I fell in love with this song. The neat thing about it is that musically, the entire song is one big build up to the climax near the very end of the song. With each verse and chorus it just builds and builds to that one moment when Billy Corgan asks "Believe in me, 'cuz I believe in you" and then it dies down and closes out in a matter of seconds. Genius!
Eagle Eye Cherry - "Save Tonight"
This song was a staple of my freshman year of high school. I remember handwriting out the lyrics on a piece of paper after recording it off the radio and spending some time stopping and starting the cassette to write it all down and then singing it with my friends at school. This is a great combination of music, lyrics and vocals that works so well together.
Foo Fighters - "Everlong"
"If everything could ever feel this real forever... If anything could ever be this good again... The only thing I'll ever ask of you - You've got to promise not to stop when I say when..."
First time I saw this video, I couldn't stop laughing at the guys in drag. Musically though, this is probably one of the top rock ballads of my generation.
Gin Blossoms - "Follow You Down"
Another one I loved back in 6th grade. I loved the harmonica, guitars and rhythm in this one. I also get excited when they use this one in chick flicks, usually when one of the main characters realize they're in love with the other and have to go chase them down (such as in "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days").
Van Halen - "I Can't Stop Loving You"
While Van Halen has had several lead singers over their career, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say I didn't mind the Van Hagar years. While the band wasn't as heavy with Hagar as it was with Roth, they did produce some pretty powerful powerhouse songs, such as this one and "Right Now." Sure it's different, but this was a great ballad for them!
Bon Jovi - "Always"
I remember being in grade school when I first saw this video at my friend's house and WOW! Talk about some heavy stuff going on here - I loved it!
Aerosmith - "Cryin'"
Spacehog - "In the Meanwhile"
Honorable mentions that fall more along the lines of being 90s pop/rock love songs
Sister Hazel - "All For You"
Deep Blue Something - "Breakfast at Tiffany's"
Spin Doctors - "Two Princes"

Prof Kaschula's novel phrase reverberatesDate Released: Wed, 30 March 2011 08:43 +0200
It all started back in 2004, when Prof Russell Kaschula first used the term "technauriture" in an article published by the South African Folklore Journal. Seven years on, the term is really "gaining legs" as Prof Kaschula puts it, with increasing international attention and a paper to be presented at the African Languages Association of Southern Africa conference in July 2011.
The most recent development is an Occasional Paper commissioned by the World Oral Literature Project at Cambridge University as part of their Occasional Paper series focusing on a range of these issues around the world. This has come about partly as a result of the work that Prof Kaschula has done with the Dept of Languages and Cultures of Africa at the University of Leiden, where the Verba Africana series of DVDs is being produced to reflect storytelling in Ghana, Zanzibar and Tanzania, and with Humboldt University in Berlin.
The paper for Cambridge University is entitled From oral literature to technauriture: What's in a name? and has been written by Prof Kaschula and Andre Mostert, who successfully completed a Masters thesis on developing a digital model for the capturing and utilisation of African oral poetry.
Prof Kaschula hopes that Mostert, who is currently based at the University of East London (UK) and is a Research Associate of the Rhodes School of Languages, will return to pursue a PhD in this field, as it will further enhance the academic project around the concept of "technauriture".
According to Prof Kaschula, the term has steadily been gaining credence, despite a certain amount of resistance and contention from some academic circles."It's amazing how defensive and territorial people can become when you come up with a new term – even when as academics we are supposed to be about creating new knowledge."
In December 2009, the internationally reputable Journal of African Cultural Studies published Prof Kaschula and Mostert's paper Analyzing, digitizing and technologizing the oral word: The Case of Bongani Sithole and Prof Kaschula was referenced in an article by Flora Veit-Wild of Humboldt University published in the Journal of Southern African Studies in September 2009.
She writes, "South African linguist Russell Kaschula has proposed the term 'technauriture' to designate the new genres of text emerging from the literary encounter between oral, written and modern technology." He also presented at paper on the concept at an international conference on African Language and Literature at the Univ of Botswana two years ago.
Prof Kaschula says he would like to see "technauriture" used not so much as a definition, but rather as a term that provides a conceptual framework for examining and analysing the relationship between technology, aurality (speaking and listening) and literature. This has become necessary because of the rapid development in technology and its increasing accessibility, even to people and cultures with strong oral traditions.
He cites the example of Zolani Mkiva, an oral poet who performed as a praise singer at the re-launch of the Cory Library: Mkiva comes from a very traditional background, but is also very literate (he has an Honours degree from the University of the Western Cape) - he performs orally, but he has also published in books and on his website poetofafrica.com
There is increasing evidence that, ironically, the path of technology is creating a fertile environment for the resurgence of orality and its innate value to society. Prof Kaschula argues that the term "technauriture" offers a suitable encompassing paradigm for further engagement with the oral word and its effective application within modern human society.

too much windex?
digital collage / mixed media
larger image
the layers beneath the picture
This is a response to an event that happened one quiet Sunday afternoon.... I was lazing around reading a magazine, when all of a sudden there was a loud *BANG* at the back doors that open to the backyard. A poor bird had flown into the glass doors and knocked itself out. At first I kind of panicked and was wondering what one is supposed to do with a dead bird. I was looking at it, then it blinked and I realized it was still alive. I started to pick it up, and it sort of flipped itself over onto its feet, but just stood there. So I picked it up again, and carried it over to the fence where the trees are, and it flew up into the trees. I'm assuming there's lots of bird nests back there.

cool stuff sis, I remember a similar story in For better or for worse. It was a hummingbird. It didn't have the windex factor though. :P
The first thing I saw was that the composition is left side heavy. I don't know if you did that one purpose, but it kinda bugs me. And you are giving away the secret of drawing hands! ... using reference (shhh)

and by left side heavy I of course mean right side... ahem.. heavy

anon - haha you mean your other left? *grin*
yeah it is right side heavy.... it was actually MORE right side heavy before cuz I didn't have the leaves drawing in the background. I should probably work on that.... it wasn't on purpose anyways. thanx for the crit.

But these lovely Emerson Made coin necklaces are just so elegant.

Bulldogs go 5-2 with guarantee of a winning season
Regardless of the rest of the season's results, the Bulldogs cleared a major hurdle last Friday night when they handed the Pirates of Berea a 54-6 defeat in what turned out to be quick fashion.
The win Friday night on Bulldog Field meant that Coach Miller and Company had moved to a 5-2 mark on the season, and with just two more games remaining, Clinton County will finish the season better than .500 – the first time the Dawgs have achieved a winning season since football returned to the CCHS lineup several years ago.
In an effort to build the program toward a stronger future, the decision was made a few years ago to move the team out of playoff contention and allow them to play teams outside of our district in hopes of giving the Bulldogs a better chance of improving.
Looks like it paid off.
Clinton County's program, after back to back to back seasons without a victory, picked up four wins, three wins, five wins and five wins respectively in its last four campaigns, finishing the past two years with a .500 mark at 5-5.
This season, with only nine games on the slate, Friday night's win for the Dawgs meant the current mark of 5-2 can be nothing less than a winning season, although the fans and Dawgs are certainly going to go for a 7-2 mark before the year comes to an end.
The Bulldogs will take a break this week with an off week in the schedule before putting the pads back on to hit the road on Friday, October 20.
Up next, Clinton County will travel northward across the entire state to take on the Cougars of Louisville Holy Cross. That game will get underway with a 6:00 p.m. central time kickoff on the Holy Cross campus.
Clinton County's 2017 schedule will come to a close the following week when the Bulldogs play host for the season finale against Jackson County on October 27.
Strong little league showing means a healthy future program
Any high school athletic program must have a strong feeder program in order to do anything more than just survive.
Our football program at Clinton County High School looks to be in great shape for the future with the indication this past Friday night when the county's football little league program was recognized at halftime of the game against Berea.
Young players from all levels of the program were introduced to the crowd and lined up on across the field to be recognized in front of the really nice crowd of fans on hand for the game.
One of the problems our little school had during the final years of "Football I" and the early years of Football II" at Clinton County was simply a lack of numbers.
The strong showing of players from the current feeder program bodes well for the future of gridiron at Clinton County High School.

Taken from an actual church:
DAMN! Jesus Worked out! What abs he had. Not bad considering he lived before the days of a fitness regime, healthy dieting and pilates.
Not to mention that Jesus had the rare "Dick Abs." There are not too many people around that have abs that look like a big penis. As a matter of fact, I thought that was a new phenomenon. I didn't even think they had that around during his time.
Or is the painter trying to say that Jesus really was the perfect man with a penis the envy of all men and the desire of all women. HMMMMM....
....I am probably going to Hell for this!!!

sometimes i think i am in denial about things.
one denial in particular that has wracked my mind as of late is the 'am i out of shape/in shape?' debate.
am i in shape?
i don't know.
i am not fat.
in fact, i am skinny!
that must mean i am in shape, right?
let me give you a bit of background...
i grew up super skinny.
i was made fun of because of how skinny i was.
i could eat anything and everything and i stayed small.
i got asked if i was anorexic, i got told i needed help with my bulimia, and told i needed to eat more of this or of that to gain
i really struggled with exercise, and got winded easily. but that is normal right? everyone gets winded. its just those super athletic people that like exercise that don't.
i didn't mind that i was skinny.
i danced and kept active, but i was tired and felt icky most of the time.
i couldn't run a mile and made sure that in gym class i got out of the running. i would do errands for the gym teacher and would get credit for it.
i started modeling and was even told by some clients that i was too skinny.
(although, i was told by one or two that i needed to loose weight.)
i honestly tried to gain weight.
i tipped the 100 scale, and was satisfied with myself.
i got married, and i got pregnant.
my pregnancy was horrible. the doctor said it was because i was too skinny.
i gained 26 lbs total.
i had my daughter, and when i left the hospital, i had dipped below the 100 mark again.
i was proud of myself. i did nothing and i was small again.
i got pregnant again, and it was nearly as bad as the first.
it was different though, because i gained over 50 lbs and definitely left the hospital weighing more than i had ever weighed.
i felt horrible.
it was silly, but i wanted to weigh the 100 lbs again.
i had a pudgy belly and i was sad about it.
flash forward to now.
my baby is almost 4 months.
i have lost quite a bit of weight, but was still not happy about myself.
i *finally* realized that it wasn't enough to weigh that certain weight to be happy with
i feel tired all the time and struggle to do anything slightly athletic.
i *finally* realized that it wasn't enough to weigh that certain weight to be happy with
i feel tired all the time and struggle to do anything slightly athletic.
i realize now that i have been in denial my whole life about being in shape.
being skinny does not mean that i am in
i eat horribly, i don't exercise and you know what? i finally care.
(i say that as i am eating chocolate chips. ugh)
i don't want to just be skinny. i want to have energy.
i want to be able to run and play freeze tag with my family without feeling horrible after 5 minutes.
blake has promised to help me get in shape, and believe me, he is doing his job.
we started a few days ago, and right now, i am not able to do more than 10 sit ups (even with cheating a bit), and i can't do push ups.
but, we are starting day 3 of 'getting meichelle in shape', and i have never felt better.
i am exhausted from it all, but i have energy.
i am sore from head to foot.
but i now realize that i am lazy and out of shape.
and i am finally doing something about it.

1. Mama took me to the Fair today! Sadly I didn't get a single picture of us. Right before we got on the sling shot ride would have been a perfect time! Next time, right Mom? I've gone to the fair every year of my life, but my Medora and New Mexico years. I heart the fair. And I love it even more with my mom, she has no plans but is willing to go anywhere while we are there. We wander, we eat, we people watch. And it's fabulous!
2. When I came back to the apartment that I have been calling home and will for real in two months, I am greeted by little kid screams, hugs around the knees and a big kiss from my honey. Who could ask for a better welcome home?!
3. Fall is coming. I can feel it. Can't smell it yet, 'tis one of my favorite smells. But I know it's on its way. Fall is my favorite. Sweaters, scarves, layers, cider, Halloween, breezes through open windows with another blanket on the bed. Mmmmmmm, perfection.
Happy September!

We are born curious, loving creatures with boundless amounts of energy and spirit. But too many of us become shells of ourselves, our energy lost and spirit dead in our eyes.
I came across this picture below and it spoke volumes to me.
What happened? Who or what kills the soul? Is life not supposed to be a loving experience where humans encourage and support their fellow companions. Instead I feel as if those around us are more responsible for killing our humanity than not, either directly or indirectly.
Where does all that life go? The following scenarios and examples come to mind as answer to this.

Hmmm... pretty slim pickings. It seems like you have to make do until the next season. At least your brother's dog has had his/her fill.ReplyDelete
Luckily, my parents picked enough to feed a small village for a year so I can have as much as I want from their stockpile :-)ReplyDelete
My brother's dog has still not discovered that what humans eat is also food, or that stuff in the woods can be edible. So he only eats his dog food. And grass in my parents' garden, for some reason.Replies

Most dogs will eat grass.It helps them clear their intestines out when their stomachs are upset and noisy.Delete

Dwelling Enchancment Buy Crystal Sconces And Wall Lamps Online
Earlier than we start, a degree to notice is that venetian plaster shouldn't be a type of plaster but is definitely a technique of applying tinted plaster. The tinted plaster that's applied on the wall, by the venetian plaster method, provides the entire wall a marble-like appearance. You already know that extra insulation within the attic may help maintain your own home heat in winter, but it could actually also help forestall ice dams from building up in your roof. Warmth escaping through the roof will soften the decrease layer of snow. The resulting water will stream to the outer fringe of the roof the place it will possibly refreeze, especially if your gutters are clogged with leaves and particles. The ice dam that builds along your roof's edge can cause water to again up beneath the lower edges of shingles and creating leaks into your home.
Using the footprint you already have is a limitation that many a homeowner faces. Having an additional room for a study or visitor retreat is usually an neglected addition that may pay substantial returns. My husband & father arrive on the Burlington Menards retailer. My husband brings in the 3 bins of Christmas décor & my father rides the cart as much as the service desk. I find it wonderful all the options now accessible. And the options are low upkeep too – costlier up front but in the end a great value.

Reports indicate that Apple will release three new versions of the iPhone during its upcoming launch event that is slated for September 12. The three versions will include the flagship phone and two iPhone 8s – the iPhone 8 Plus and the iPhone 8. This means that unlike what Apple has been doing in recent years, it will not release an S generation this time round. After being unveiled all the three phones are expected to be ready for sale on September 22.
Additionally reports also indicate that Apple's flagship smartphone will be known as iPhone X. The smartphone will be released during the tenth anniversary of the iPhone. In Roman numerals X represents the number ten. Other sources have also said that Apple's flagship smartphone will be known as the iPhone Edition.
Gesture controls
Among the features expected in the flagship iPhone will include gesture controls replaced the classic home button that has been a feature for years. In order to engage in multitasking or to open the main app, users will simply need to swipe their hands over the smartphone. The front of the device will have symmetrical and slim bezels covering it.
The flagship phone will also possess an OLED screen and this will be bigger than the display area of iPhone 7 Plus. But unlike Samsung whose latest devices have curved screens the reports indicate that Apple is maintaining a flat display. Due to the fact that that the display area is longer, apps will be lined up in six vertical rows. Excluding the dock, 24 icons will grace each page. At the bottom end of the screen there will be a grey bar containing apps that are frequently used.
Rounded corners
A facial-recognition sensor, earpiece and front-facing camera sit on a notch that occupies the screen's top. The notch's left side shows the time while the notch's right side displays mobile network connectivity, Wi-Fi and battery life.
Instead of square corners there will be rounded ones in the upcoming iPhones. Since this will be the tenth anniversary since the iPhone was introduced into the world this is probably an effort to pay homage to the original iPhone which had a similar shape.
The upcoming iPhones are expected to cost more than their predecessors. At the top-tier of the flagship phone customers will have to part with $1199 for a model with a storage space of 512 GB. An entry-level iPhone will cost $999 excluding tax.

I have 5 onions on my kitchen counter. I pass through the kitchen and look at them with disdain, knowing they will make me cry like a little baby when it's time to make dinner...
How can we have grapples (which are super tasty, by the way. Mix of a grape and an apple...), seedless watermelon, cuties (another tasty fruit, one of Will's favorites! California mandarins...yum!), but no tearless onions?!
Rachael Ray's Rollover Jerk Chicken with Roasted Veggies, calls for THREE onions. Two are chopped and one is sliced. I had to leave the kitchen at least three times while cutting all three of those stupid onions because my eyes were watering so bad, I couldn't see! The second I cut into an onion and see that it's nice and juicy, I brace myself for the imminent tears that are on their way. It sucks!
I've heard if you light a candle and put it near the cutting board that it burns those enzymes that get in the air that cause you to cry. Ok, that works sometimes...but hardly ever. If you wear glasses, that will help. NOT! Or your third option is to just not use onions... ha ha!
I really like using onions in my food. They add great flavor to just about anything that I find myself keeping them on hand at all times. I'll chop up half of one to put in some spaghetti sauce - a great way to pep up a store bought sauce. Sausage, peppers, and onions on some pasta is an easy meal. Even Rocco DiSpirito made some faux onion rings on Rachael Ray's show a few weeks ago that made my mouth water (or maybe that was just me drooling over him...). I still need to make and try those...
Do you have any tricks or tips for cutting onions? Do they make you boob all over your cutting board too?

i heard if you put them in the freezer for a little while before you cut them it helps. I've done it before and i works....doesn't totally make you stop crying but its more bearable!!!!ReplyDelete

I am the worst with crying when I cut onions... the thing that works for me is to run the onion under water while I cut in half and peel. Once I have rinsed the halves it is pretty easy to cut with out tearsjust don't let them sit for to long cause the tears will start up again.ReplyDelete

Supreme Court Justice Noah Haynes Swayne: "All persons born in the allegiance of the king are natural- born subjects, and all persons born in the allegiance of the United States are natural-born citizens. Birth and allegiance go together. Such is the rule of the common law, and it is the common law of this country…since as before the Revolution." United States v. Rhodes, 27 Fed. Cas. 785 (1866).
...do you really think that someone as intelligent as Obama seems to be would simply overlook things like how the different nationality his father had would have affected him?
The original United States Naturalization Law of March 26, 1790 stated "the children of citizens [ed. note the plural of citizens] of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens".
Yet even today, United States Federal law (8 U.S.C. § 1401) which lists 10 different types of categories of person who are United States citizens from birth, makes specific differentiation between a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof and every other category.
"persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers."
So you tell me, how can someone of dual citizenship be under "full and complete jurisdiction" of the United States and yet still be under the jurisdiction of another country?

And Obama was born in the US and subject to the jurisdiction thereof. Are you thinking that Obama was NOT subject to the jurisdiction of the US by way of his father's citizenship? He was.
[They cannot. That's my point. He was born in the US and under full and complete jurisdiction of the United States.
Dual citizenship means that the laws of two countries consider him a citizen. It does NOT mean that he holds allegiance to two countries. A subtle but very important distinction.
dual nationals owe allegiance to both the United States and the foreign country. They are required to obey the laws of both countries. Either country has the right to enforce its laws, particularly if the person later travels there.
Okubo's original response to the divorce question didn't mention "an index for divorce records". It simply stated, "The Department of Health does not hold divorce records, they are with the Department of Judiciary."
Our Office does not maintain an index for divorce records. We only have divorce records from the courts between July 1951 to December 2002. All other divorce records are kept in the court where the divorce took place. My apologies for the misinformation on the website, our staff will work on updating those pages.
The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution reads, in pertinent part, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." This makes citizens of all persons born in the United States, provided they are subject to U.S. jurisdiction at the time of their birth - that is, they are not the children of foreign diplomats and like persons who, having diplomatic immunity, are not subject to U.S. jurisdiction while they are in the country for diplomatic purposes.
At the time the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified (1868), it also excluded Aboriginal Americans because they were not considered subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and, thus, were not American citizens. Congress declared it policy to extend citizenship to all Aboriginal peoples in 1924, which was realized in 1968 with the Indian Civil Rights Act.[9]
This interpretation of "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States was formally established in 1898 by a 6-2 decision the Supreme Court in United States v. Wong Kim Ark 169 U.S. 649 (1898). In that case, the Court found the petitioner had been born in the United States and therefore became a U.S. citizen. This could not be revoked because his parents were not American citizens at the time of his birth, or because they made several trips to China after it.[10]

I'm going to ask this again in hopes that you answer it.
Being that you put a lot of weight on what the framers meant, do you think they meant to exclude from presidential eligibility, a person who was born on US soil to a US citizen and held a second citizenship through blood ONLY?
And if we're going to talk about the framer's intent, let's talk about whether or not they intended for a black man to be the president... I mean, the framer's intent is sometimes of irrelevant when we consider that.
There's no doubt in my mind that, being born IN THE USA, to one citizen and one legal resident, Barack Obama is a natural born citizen. I do not think his citizenship though blood matters. His allegiance and birth go together, as you said. He has never had an allegiance to Kenya, let alone Britain.
So, what we need to do now, since there's no way to know the framers' true intent and since we know that their intentions did not always reflect the best judgment, is to determine a definition for Natural born citizen and nail this down now.
Donofrio isn't going to get ANYWHERE with this. If the Supreme Court hears this (BIG IF), they going to declare Obama an NBC. We already know that.
Stanely Ann Dunham at a Friday night party on Nov. 4, 1960, meets Barrack Hussein Obama, Sr., and Barry Jr. is subsequently conceived.
Stanley Ann enrolls in the Russian Language course to give her a more reasonable motive for meeting Barrack Hussein Obama. She subsequently admits to her mother that he is the father, and Madelyn Dunham insists on a civil marriage to protect her daughter's honor.
But as the months pass Madelyn cannot accept what she perceives as the shame that will occur when her grandchild is born, showing evident signs of an interracial marriage.
Stanley Ann also discovers that Barrack Hussein Obama has a first wife, and that her marriage to him in Hawaii is bigamous and invalid.
So mother and daughter plan to have the birth at home; and Stanley Ann stops seeing Obama Sr..
Barry is born Aug. 4, 1961.
A few days later Madelyn submits an at home birth form, with her own signature. Stanley Ann does not sign, because she refuses to swear to what her mother put on the form. Obama Sr. does not sign it either, because Madelyn won't let him near the daughter, or have anything to do with the birth; let alone appear at an office with him.
Why? Because Marilyn is to submit an at-home birth form in which parents and child are declared to be WHITE.
This, in her mind, will save her and her daughter from the shame of giving birth to a mixed race child.
Upon receipt of the form, the Department of Health Registrar of Vital Records sends out a request for further corroborating information: signatures of father and mother, for example. But Madelyn has already had Stanley Ann sent to Washington State to study at college, so that she can get a degree and have the means to support the child. Neverthelss the birth annoucement is sent to the 2 Hawaiian newspapers, listing Aug. 4th, 1961, to Mr. & Mrs. Barack Hussein Obama. "Barack" and not "Barrack", because Marilyn wouldn't even pick up the phone to ask the father how to spell the name.
Neither Madelyn nor Stanley Ann ever take action further on this filing. It is classified as "filed" not "received" nor "accepted".
Ramjet says: "She thus filed the birth registration after the (Nordyke) twins registration even though Obama was born before the twins. That would account for the out-of-order file numbers for Obama and the twins at first glance based simply on the dates of birth reported."
Years later Barry Jr. finds this original filing document in a closet., along with his vaccination records and a newspaper article — this much he admits in Dreams of My Father. He has already been trained to hate the white race by Frank Marshal Davis (ibid., "I came to hate the white blood in my veins" ), so when he sees grandma's filing he goes beserk, because it says that he is WHITE.
So sometime thereafter, he files an alteration request (Amendment is for adoptions only), and gets the AFRICAN race classification put on it, instead of the "white;" this is some time after "negro" is no longer used by the State of Hawaii to classify the predominate race of sub-saharan Africa.
But this filing is also not entirely accepted, because his father and mother are already dead.
So before granny conveniently dies, Obama Jr. tries to get her to give him an affidavit so that he can get his birth record accepted. He does get something, but HI still won't "accept" it, because she is a third party.
So he is really in a fix, since he has no legal evidence of his birth, AND IN FACT CANNOT PROVE WHEN OR WHERE HE WAS BORN, LET ALONE HIS PARENTS IDENTITY.

Just because the framers could not "envision" a free black man, does not mean that their intent is irrelevant, again you are being disingenuous.
The framers never envisioned women voting either, does that make the rest of their intent irrelevant? I doubt they ever envisioned a female president, but that will happen too, does that make the rest of their effort irrelevant?
Since neither of us are in a position to make a precedent ruling from a bench, our opinions are simply ours.
But the first obstacle to tackle is to definitively prove that Obama was born in Hawaii (and stop that argument from the "birthers") and to positively prove who is listed as his parents on his legal birth certificate.
Now I know you have no doubts as to who his parents are, frankly neither do I, but we both know how many different CT's the "birthers" have running, from Malcolm X is his father to the Kenyan Birth, to the Soetoro "adoption".
Maybe he will be successful, maybe that will happen long after Obama is out of office, I don't know & neither does anyone else, but the question needs to be answered & answered definitively.
Remember, there really is very little we know about Obama & his life, youth and influences during such.

And I'm being absolutely honest here so your accusation is unfounded.

So, you think his CoLB is fake, too?

So what? There are people out there who think all sorts of things. They have NO evidence but their imagination. And it's as wild as it gets.

These curiosities that people have may never be answered definitively.

That's not true. His life is literally an open book. Just because we don't know his grades doesn't mean we know very little about him.

I said their intent was sometimes irrelevant. You quoted me as saying that their intent was irrelevant (without the qualifier of "sometimes"). A very different meaning. To clarify my point, the framers clearly never intended to have a black man as president. Meaning that they intended that all presidents would be white men. That intent is irrelevant.
As I read the rest of your post, I'm no longer inclined to comment as you have gone from a very civil discussion concentrating on the topic at hand to more of the same personal crap about me being disingenuous, playing games and twisting your words, none of which is true. I can only assume that our civil discussion was leading you to think that you might be wrong and so you decided to get personal. That's usually how it happens. You have slid into projection and I'm just not interested.
You and Donofrio can carry on without me.
On July 27, 2009, Obama was not verified as 'Constitutionally Qualified to be U.S. President' by the standards of Hawaii's Department of Health and Vital Statistics Registrar. Any assertions by Nancy Pelosi or anyone else must be reexamined under the following LIGHT:
THE KEY: 'FILED by Local Registrar' vs. 'ACCEPTED by State Registrar'
We have two statements about two sets of vital records belonging to the President issued from Hawaii. An "original birth certificate" that is "on record in accordance to state policies and procedures" in October, 2008, AND "original vital records" that are "maintained on file," on July 27, 2009.
1.) Dr. Fukino, Director of the Department of Health on Oct. 31, 2008:
"Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai'i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai'i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama's original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures."
2.) Dr. Fukino, Director of the Department of Health on July 27, 2009:
"I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, Director of the Hawaii State Department of Health, have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawai'i State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawai'i and is a natural-born American citizen. I have nothing further to add to this statement or my original statement issued in October 2008 over eight months ago."
• We also have a COLB presented by President Obama that indicates the information shown has been 'Filed by Registrar.' Fig.1 (see below)
• However, we also have samples found online of HAWAII COLBs that say they have been 'Accepted by State Registrar.' Fig 2 & Fig 3 (see below)

Nintendo DS Browser in Europe on 6th October 2006
The Nintendo DS Browser launches across Europe on 6th October 2006Since November last year Nintendo users have been enjoying simple, safe and free Nintendo Wi-Fi connection service* which to date already has approximately 1.7 million unique users. Now Nintendo is expanding its service offering to include an internet browser from Opera Software, optimised to run on the Nintendo DS. The Nintendo DS Browser launches across Europe on 6th October 2006.
The Nintendo DS Browser is a convenient web browser, which enables Nintendo DS users to surf the web, check and send emails, bank and shop online and even communicate with their friends in live chat. The Nintendo DS Browser features a built-in history function allowing users to bookmark their favourite sites and it has a fast start up time making it quick and easy to connect to the internet, at home or away. Nintendo DS owners can use the browser to connect to Wi-Fi environments at home, a public Wi-Fi hotspot or one of Nintendo's free Wi-Fi hotspots.
By using the unique interface of the Nintendo DS, users can effortlessly surf the web as if they were using a keyboard and mouse. The stylus can be used to activate hyperlinks and click around pages. For typing in URLs and filling in complicated information users can employ an onscreen digital keyboard and the console's handwriting recognition system.
Web sites can be viewed through the Nintendo DS Browser using two main modes. Overview Mode shows the complete web site on one screen and areas which are highlighted will enlarge on the other screen. It also features Opera's Fit-to-Width Mode where web sites will be adjusted to fit inside the two Nintendo DS screens, eliminating the need for horizontal scrolling.
The Nintendo DS Browser will be available as a standard DS cartridge. To allow image or multimedia-heavy web sites to load quickly, it will come bundled with a Memory Expansion Pack, which boosts the system's power. This pack fits snugly into the Game Boy Advance socket on the Nintendo DS and comes in two versions. One version is for the classic Nintendo DS and a smaller version is available to fit the slimmed down Nintendo DS Lite.
Parents who wish to have more control over the internet sites their children access can set passwords required to activate the browser. In addition, Nintendo has partnered with Astaro to provide the option of a parental control which acts as a proxy filter to block inappropriate content.
Connect to the limitless possibilities of the internet using your favourite hand-held games console. The Nintendo DS Browser launches across Europe on 6th October 2006 for the estimated retail price of around £30.

Nintendo DS Specs
DS System
With Nintendo DS Lite, dual screens and touch-screen technology allow you to interact with games like never before. Wireless communication allows you to experience real-time multiplayer gameplay, and the free Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service allows you to compete against players from around the globe.
DS Dual Screens
Two incredibly bright LCD screens offer one of the most groundbreaking gameplay advances ever developed. Each 3-inch screen can reproduce a true 3D view, with impressive 3D renderings that can surpass images displayed on the Nintendo 64.
Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection
Ready to take on the world? Now, with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, you can connect wirelessly, chat and play with Nintendo DS owners across the globe. All you need to play is a Nintendo DS and a Wi-Fi-ready game. There are no subscription fees -- the service is free!
DS Touch Screen Technology
The lower screen offers something never before provided by any dedicated game device: touch-screen capabilities.
You no longer have to rely on just buttons to move your character or shift perspectives. Navigate menus or access inventory items simply by touching the screen with a stylus or fingertip. The possibilities are limited only by developers' imaginations.
The touch screen features a tougher film cover for durability, and the included stylus is stored in the back of the unit.
DS Microphone Port
A built-in microphone port means that with Nintendo DS, you only need to tell your games what to do.
The Nintendo DS microphone gives you even more ways to interact with your favorite games.
DS Wireless Network
With Nintendo DS Lite, you can connect with a local wireless network of up to 16 players. The wireless range can be an incredible 30 to 100 feet and for some games, multiplayer requires just one Nintendo DS game card.
Note: Nintendo DS Lite wireless communication, including PictoChat, is not private and is not monitored by Nintendo. We recommend that you never reveal any personal information or arrange to meet a stranger.
DS Rich Stereo Sound
Nintendo DS Lite sound capabilities allow for greatly expanded use of voices and music, and a richer, more immersive game experience. Stereo speakers allow for virtual surround sound and a plug for headphones transmits stereo sound.
Backward Compatibility
Nintendo DS Lite features a separate media port for Game Boy Advance cartridges, allowing you to play all your favorite Game Boy Advance games in single-player mode.
Nintendo DS Case Mod
The Nintendo DS Lite was initially released in three color variations - Ice Blue, Enamel Navy, and Crystal White. Of course, there's your Jet Black and girly pink DS Lites. Add the Pikachu-ed DS Lite to the list, and you got yourself quite a decent number of models to choose from.
But then again, there's always room for customization - that is if you dare mess with the glossy appearance of your Nintendo DS Lite.
Negima DS Details Revealed
Negima definitely has two aspects - the first one being all about adventure wherein you group three players together who will then try to solve the mystery in Osaka. You must keep in mind that there should be balance among the characters you've put together, else the team would not work. The teams would then go around town and certain battles will ensue when they enter a particular area.
The battle has two stages, with the first one having a turn system where each team member will have a particular range of his own. When an enemy or monster is within her range, battles are bound to start.
The cute part about Negima's battle are the costumes. As you finish your battles, you could win the costumes dropped by monsters.
Now, the costumes don't only play a crucial role in making your character appear cute, but the costumes also give special skills to your character.
Here's an example: if you catch Asuna wearing a costume with the harisen (a giant paper fan), Asuna can do the Harisen Chop move.
Negima is set for an October release date in Japan. Here's hoping it reaches other regions soon.

Baking is one of my very FAVORITE things to do...and I must say I am pretty good at it too. Look at me. Do I look like a skinny chef? NO! Naturally I would want to spend hours in the kitchen baking delicious Christmas treats to share with the people who are our friends. Turning it into a family project is one of the highlights of our Christmas season.
This year I made Carmels, English Toffee, Peanut Brittle, Peanut Butter Fudge, Chinese Noodle Treats and Sugar Cookies. Of course the kids always help by decorating the cookies. This time we even used sugar we colored ourselves...I don't think I will ever buy it again. It was so easy to make! Plus then I don't mind so much when it is all over the table and floor.

Poyet named new Brighton manager
Former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Gustavo Poyet has been named Brighton & Hove Albion manager until the end of next season.
The 41-year-old Uruguayan has been away from the the coaching scene since leaving Spurs in October 2008 as Juande Ramos' assistant at White Hart Lane.
He will be assisted at the Withdean Stadium side by former Spurs defender Mauricio Taricco, who made 158 league appearances for Tottenham from 1999-2004.
The Seagulls are currently 20th in the third-tier of English football - one place above the relegation zone - having won just three of their 15 league games in 2009/10.
Former manager Russell Slade was dismissed earlier this month.
"Gus is one of the best up-and-coming young coaches in this country and we are delighted to give him his first opportunity in management," Brighton chairman Tony Bloom told the club website.

Well the my exercise-free days are gone, I went shopping today for new runners! Charlie has been recommending Athlete's Foot since forever, so today I finally drew up the courage to get my foot fitted! Here are my feet specs:
- my right foot is a 6.5 and my left foot is a 6
- my feet are both C-wide - i have the widest feet I know :(
- I have a neutral stance - this was surprising cos I always thought I had flat feet
- in terms of weight distribution, I carry 52% of my weight on my right foot and 48% on my left. Eek!
Hopefully I will get a chance to test these babies out tomorrow at land training and also during the week :) I think they look like space shoes hehe.
Brooks, Summons 3 - from Athelete's FootAlso I highly recommend getting fitted at Athlete's Foot. They were so helpful!! And its worth investing in runners :)

Moate Business College Testimonials - Maria Keegan
I studied social care for 2 years in Moate Business College and I progressed to Athlone Institute of Technology in 2007. From here I completed the 4 year degree course in Applied Social Studies. I progressed on to do a Masters In Child and Youth Studies and completed it in June 2012.
MBC gave me the confidence I lacked in my own ability, as I realised early on in the course I had the potential to achieve, if I put my mind to it. I had an awful fear of failing which was what kept me out of education for so many years. I am so glad today I faced my fears as a mature student and went to MBC, as I know today just what I am capable of when I put my mind to it.

I have talked bout computer language on previous post. So should I write on OS now? nah.. it will make me sound to geeky.
So let us talk about normal human language. Computer are stupid as they can't understand our language unless we program it to do so. Or should I say the man who invented those computer language are not smart enough to write a normal human language that he need to invent a computer language. But then am I smart enough to write a language that both man and computer understand? Woah this situation is like throwing a ball to the wall and the ball hits back to you at the face. So ok I'll leave those language as it is. Dear geeks, you can continue with your computer language and we will stick to our human language, the HLL.
Talking bout language. I am actually not that good in English. Not only in English, I am not good in all languages I know. As long as you can understand me, that is good enough. I rarely ace my language subject be it Enslish, Malay or Arabic. hehe.
Starting next sentence onward, I will mix Malay and English.
"Takkan lari gunung dikejar". Meaning you don't have to rush on things.
Tapi kalau tak menapak ke gunung tu, mana boleh sampai kan? So take your pace in doing things. Don't rush, but you will still need to do whatever you need to achieve your goal. Or else you will just be stagnant.
"Usaha tangga kejayaan". Meaning you will need the stairs to go to your goal.
But then now we have excelator and elevator. So why use the stairs? You will need to put more energy in reaching the goal. haha. But what happen if system breakdown? no electricity maybe. Maybe we just need to stick to that stairs. Don't take elevator. You might end up stuck in there, if the doors refuse to open. haha.
"Masuk bakul angkat sendiri". I don't know how to translate this proverb. tetiba teringat kat ain lak. eh eh. Dulu memang tak boleh masuk bakul angkat sendiri, but now can. Sebab ada hot ballon. haha.
That's all for now. Sila jangan rosakkan peribahasa seperti yang saya buat. hehe. Dan sila jangan marah.

Bush in the Lead
The new poll is in, and it appears that Kerry's apparent victories in the debates did not gain him enough (if any) ground among undecided voters. Of course, the Clinton News Network (CNN) story tries to bury the pill, first by using a headline about the race "tightening", then leading with the statistically-insignificant 3% Bush lead before finally getting to the real numbers -- a statistically-significant Bush lead among likely voters. They just can't stand the results of their own poll.

|Rembrandt ~ Jesus Calms the Stormy Sea
With the coming of evening that same day, Jesus said to his disciples, 'Let us cross over to the other side.' And leaving the crowd behind they took him, just as he was, in the boat, and there were other boats with him. Then a great hurricane wind began to blow, and the waves were breaking into the boat so that it was almost swamped. But Jesus was in the stern, his head on the the cushion, asleep. They woke him and said to him, 'Master, do you not care? We are lost!' And he woke up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, 'Silence, Be quiet!' And the wind dropped, and there followed a great calm. Then he said to them, 'Why are you so frightened? Have you still no faith?' They were overcome with awe and said to one another. 'Who can this be? Even the wind and the sea obey him.' Mark 4:35-41
Maybe the words of Jesus in the first verses, "Let us go to the other side," aren't so much about the other side of the lake as it is about the other side of trust. Ah! When I trust God completely I've really made a crossing. And the doorway into this kind of crossing over is humility: putting aside so much of my agenda, supposed knowledge, self-reliance and power claims, coming upon the other side ~ the new land of reliance upon God's good lead. Do you recall when that first began to happen to you?
I remember as a young boy serving the old Mass and kneeling at the left foot of the priest at the Consecration. I would ring the little bell with my left hand and raise the edge of the priest's chasuble a bit with my right. Talk about crossing over into a different realm! Remember the poor, broken Gospel woman, all exhausted and bleeded out, and pressed in by the crowd saying of Jesus, "If only I can touch his clothes, I will be well." Mark 5:28. It was like that: crossing over into first faith.

I walked around the house a little while, trying to decide what to do. I see a lot that needs doing, but seem to have a problem knowing where to start.
Finally I said, just do one thing.
One thing is better than no thing.
There was/is a box sitting by the back door I planned to take to my Mom's, but then after talking with her a few days ago, I decided some of the things in the box didn't need to go.
Some old craft type books and crochet magazines.
I pulled them out and carried them upstairs to put in the yard sale pile.
While I was up there, I compiled some Scotch and rolls of packaging tape I had laying around into one box.
There were some large pickle jars of river rock from when we were going to make Terrariums, years and years ago, so I put the rocks in baggies and relocated them to my craft stash, and brought the big jars down to put with the canning stuff. I use those for making Apple Cider Vinegar.
So I continued like that, just doing one thing, and one more thing, and I saw a (old plastic comforter) bag with a pillow, a doll, and a quilt in it.
The pillow was made for me by my Grannie, and the doll was a Cabbage Patch knock-off made by my Aunt and her MIL, who we called Nanny, even though she was our Cousin's Grandmother and not ours. Everyone's related in the South, right.
Since those were such personal items, I wondered if the old quilt was one that my Dad had given to me some years ago.
It was.
It had belonged to his Great-Grandparents (my Great-Great-Grandparents), and had been sewn for them by relatives and the Community (pretty much same difference, almost everyone was related by blood or marriage) after their house had burned down.
I emailed my Dad to ask what year that was, but I'm thinking it was in the early 1900's - 1930's.
I have a few vintage, old quilts that belonged to my family, J's family, some other body's family...
But what makes this one so special, is that the Quilters "signed" it.
|Maud Burch
|Lula Burch
|Clara J. Ledford
|Maxine Nicholson
So awesome!
The poor quilt is disintegrating, I guess, so I laid it out and photographed every square and every signature, so there'll always be a record of it (as long as the digital files last).

Adam Brookes for many years a journalist and foreign correspondent for BBC News. He reported from China, Indonesia, the US and many other countries, Iraq and Afghanistan among them. His debut novel, Night Heron, was nominated for the 2014 CWA John Creasey Dagger and appeared on best of the year lists in the TLS, Kirkus and NPR; its follow-up, Spy Games was nominated for the CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger. The Spy's Daughter is his third novel. He lives with his family in Takoma Park, Maryland.
Brookes, a former BBC Beijing correspondent, is on the money with this superb thriller. Fans of Martin Cruz Smith's Arkady Renko novels will love this. * The Times South Africa * Brookes shows that his impressive debut was no fluke * Publishers Weekly * Brookes has separated himself from the pack: I've read a lot of very good China books by excellent journalists, but I've never before stayed up far too late on a work night to finish one, unwilling to go to sleep until I knew how it ended * Los Angeles Review of Books * Brookes' second novel is a multipronged spy thriller that fires on all cylinders. A smarter or more exciting mystery likely won't be released this year. * Kirkus - starred review * A perfectly executed spy yarn * Sunday Express * Adam Brookes is the new Le Carre - without question this is the best modern spy novel I have ever read . . . Read this. It's perfect. * Manda Scott * A nuanced and terrifying experience that will occasionally leave the reader's head spinning as they attempt to connect all the dots. Comparisons to John le Carre are inevitable but may be justified . . . he's a natural storyteller, and a thrilling new voice * Sunday Herald * Brookes knows modern China, he seemingly knows the British secret service and, most importantly, he knows how to tell a good story. The splendid result is this rich, can't-put-it-down thriller. A terrific read. * Joseph Kanon - author of The Good German and Leaving Berlin * Authentic, taut and compelling. Brookes is the real deal * Charles Cumming * Brookes's expertly orchestrated novel couldn't be more topical . . . exhilaratingly shows how readily the old-school international spy thriller can be retooled for the era of globalisation, the internet and a superpower's emergence * Sunday Times * Brookes shows that his impressive debut was no fluke, and readers will look forward to Mangan's next adventure * Publishers Weekly * This would make a superb television spy drama. I really didn't want it to end. A terrific heart-thumping spy thriller. * Northern Crime Reviews * Cements Brookes' reputation as a superb spy novelist and draws comparisons with other espionage heavyweights including John le Carre. * Sun * Authentic, taut and compelling. Brookes is the real deal * Charles Cumming *
