Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink!
Since I can't do anymore until I can get a plumber here I might as well stitch on Rose Anne's block...

I hate all that plumbing stuff including septic. We had that problem in the kitchen before we added a room. Now if it gets really cold a drain may freeze, which doesn't make a mess but causes a huge problem all the same.
Good luck.

Oh Gerry, I know how awful a flood can be; we had one in our basement last January. The first thing we did was call the local disaster clean-up people. Their bill was paid by our insurance, but having them out immediately to not only suck up all the water, but pull back the carpets and install huge industrial fans helped us save the carpets and walls. They even put down new pads and cleaned our carpets for us! We had our deductible to pay, naturally, but it didn't affect our rates. Can your insurance company help you??? Hugs, Cathy (feeling your pain!)

Greetings Followers! Welcome to my first blog entry! As I am now approaching the day when my "rough draft" should be submitted for this project, I figured it was time to really get working. I have been mulling over the format for my entries, and I think that I am going to attempt a few different methods. For this first entry, I am going to give a little background on my topic choice. While I am certainly an ardent admirer of poetry, I am by no means an expert in the field. However, one of my most valuable books (at least in sentimental value) is my copy of The Norton Anthology of Poetry (Shorter 4th ed.). It was a required purchase for an undergrad literature course, and it's a book that is never far from my reach.
Towards the end of the book, on page 1103 to be exact, there is a section entitled "Versification" which is written by one of the editors, Jon Stallworthy. He has quite a bit to say about the purpose and "voice" of poetry, in particular, that "the more one understands versification (the principles and practice of writing verse), the more one is likely to understand and appreciate poetry and, in particular, the intimate relationship between its form and its content."
Taking this rather lovely description into account, I turn now to the perhaps not so poetic realm of Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH). For those of you who are not educated in this field, LCSH are the authorized terms used by the Library of Congress to identify the subjects of a cataloged work. The full listing of these terms can be found on the Library of Congress website (http://authorities.loc.gov/) by choosing "Search Authorities" and then entering a term. For example, when using "Poetry" as a search term, the authorized reference comes up with 2307 bib records. Clicking on this reveals a long list of "Narrower Terms" associated with the main authority heading of "150 Poetry."
At first glance, this seems like a lot of choices! So let's take a look at the first three on the list: Albas, Anacreontic poetry and Anapestic poetry. Hm. I'm pretty sure I've never heard of ANY of these, so let's dig a little deeper and check on the term "Albas." In the authority record for "150 Albas," the 450 field, which is the "use for" listing is "Dawn songs (poetry)." That still isn't terribly clear. So let's look under the cross reference 550 fields: Love poetry, Lyric poetry, and Poetry. This is more helpful, but it's the 670 field that really helps: "Eos : an inquiry into the theme of lovers' meetings and partings at dawn in poetry, 1965."
I think that is about as far as I'm going to delve for my first entry as far as the LCSH for cataloging poetry goes - for the moment. However, I am going to conclude with something "fun." My goal is to end each entry with a poem from my Norton Anthology and to bring it up to LCSH standards. My first attempt will be Robert Burns' "A Red, Red Rose."
(Format: Line of poem followed by LCSH version or references in parentheses. Please note that words from LCSH will be taken exactly as the authority record appears. My apologies to the author.)

There is a quote from "Hymns Old & New" that says about Jesus, He was "misunderstood and by worldlings despised." One of the definitions I found for worldling was "a cosmopolitan & sophisticated person". That made me smile. Perhaps the writer of that hymn had in mind more this definition: "A person devoted to the interest and pleasures of this world". This post is not about worldlings thankfully, but I couldn't resist inserting this.
It is about being misunderstood and my longing to be understood.
The line in this hymn was about Jesus. Jesus was misunderstood by almost everyone and yet He never wavered from His purpose. He kept on to the end. That is HUGE! He was so secure in who He was and why He was here. It wasn't until He was crucified and risen from the dead that some began to truly understand Him.
I'm not sure why I often come back to this deep need of wanting/needing to be understood for who I am, what I love, why I do what I do. Is it a need for validation? I hope not, but I am recognizing that it is a need for something not necessarily healthy. I fret over what others perception of me and how they will misunderstand me unless we have some deep meaningful conversation. I've always been terrified of being perceived as shallow.
I started this blog because it was important to me to let the workers and friends know how I arrived at Point B from Point A. No one was asking me how I got to such a different place and this was troubling to me. So, I have told my story here on this blog so they would know.
This may sound silly but I worry about what will be said at my funeral. That hymn "only remembered by what we have done" comes to mind. Shouldn't it be by what we have been?
People work hard to leave a positive legacy behind. Writers write their own autobiography so others will know them. I hope my words left behind will do that for me. The four writers of the Gospels along with the Apostles Paul & Peter did their best to share what they knew and understood of Jesus. I can do the same. Share what He means to me and how He has shaped my life.
There was another hymn we used to sing said, "God understands me; this thought will suffice." Gulp. Being in this place rather than being so desperate for others to understand me is a world of difference in how each makes me feel. Knowing God understands me….I can feel the strivings and longings ease a bit.
I'm realizing I have much of this whole idea backwards. First of all, God understands me. Then, it's not supposed to be about me seeking to be understood but rather for me to seek to understand others. To invest in them….my family, my friends and my co-workers at work every day. To get to know them because in that very process, they will get to know me.
Aha…1 Corinthians 13:12 just now comes to mind and answers it all!
"Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part, then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known."
The day will come. I will be fully known and I will also know. Oh what will that be like?

They always give everything that they have for others and challenge me to do the same.
- I didn't see a boy's shoes that we had just gotten, so I asked what happened. "I saw him(another boy) and he didn't have any shoes so I had to give him mine. I still had my sandals so I was just going to use them."
- A boy from the streets was going through rubbish looking for bottles. We had just gotten a snack at the supermarket and one of the boys was eating his. He gave his cake to the boy, another emptied half of his peanuts and gave his water to the boy. That happens anytime the boys are eating anything and see a boy with nothing.
- There are tons of kids begging on the streets of Kampala. We passed a rather persistent one and one of the boys gave him his last coin. When I asked why he said because he will get beaten if he doesn't bring home any money.
- One of the boys was playing with a boy on the street. He really loves this kid a lot and he looked at me and says, "I really wish I had money. I would bring that boy home with us."
- We were walking together through town, when I turned around and realized I was alone. Finally, I saw the boys running towards me and I asked what happened and where they went. There was a man carrying many things and he was struggling so they stopped to help him.
- They share everything with everyone, even random people we don't know. They have roasted corn, they break it in half and give to a kid. Anything and everything is meant to be shared.

I feel that sometimes, people should keep their feelings to themselves and try to solve their problems on their own. But if the problem at hand gets nasty, I'd say that they should seek help from a close friend or someone they trust a lot. Being different is okay if you believe you are in the right, If anyone was different from the norm, I'd usually call them unique. The best thing to do under all these situations is to actually believe in ourselves and know that we were born the way we are. If everyone loved themselves for how they are, I believe the world would indeed be a better place.

 Premium financing is a process wherein the permanent life insurance policy premiums are being paid by some of the third parties or third party lenders and it is an excellent marketing idea. In other words it can also be put forward as premium financing is a process which aims to increase your insurance needs by the method of financing the insurance. Thus premium financing enables individuals, business firms and the large companies to purchase the insurance without having to sell or lock up the various assets.

Premium Financing

The working of the premium financing works in the following way consider for example you are owning an insurance policy worth X amount of dollars and you can use the value of your insurance policy as a mode of collateral security which will enable you to finance other insurance policies. Thus in this way premium financing allows you with a wide range of insurance options open to you. There is no doubt that premium financing is very much cost effective. It is a very favorable financing option as you can secure a huge loan amount against the life insurance policy. It is quite important to understand that you are going to get a much better option or in other words you will get much better rate of interest and the term of loan for the secured and the unsecured financing.

life insurance policy premiums

However it is important that before getting a premium financing option you need to have a look at your financial needs and get proper advice before you go on with a financing option. There is this one question which many people have as to will it be required for them to purchase a new insurance policy or can they get the service of premium financing on their existing insurance policies. Well the answer to this simple question would be that at the time the practice of premium financing came into existence it was a requirement that you will have to purchase new insurance policies, but now this is not the case as you can get this option of premium financing on your existing insurance policy and there is no requirement for you to take the strain of going for a new insurance policy. This will again provide you with a very much better option that would not ask for your valuable possessions to be given as collateral security.

Some other people who really take the benefit of premium financing are the wealthy investors or the business owners. It is an extremely good option for the companies that do not want to tie up their assets to purchase the large amount of insurance policies. It is also a technique which is offered for the employees to be offered as a part of their wages. It allows the firms to attract new employees and help them retain their valuable employees. Premium financing is also used as a technique for estate planning, company expansion, attracting new employees and retaining their valuable employees.

Life insurance premium financing is used by wealthy individuals to pay their life insurance premiums. By financing your premiums, it allows you to free up the funds that might have otherwise been used to pay your premium. Many wealthy people require a substantial amount of life insurance for business planning, estate planning, or for income replacement.

Insurance Premium Financing

In order to qualify for life insurance premium financing most insurance companies require you have a minimum of $2.5 million in net worth and at least a $200,000.00 a year income. In addition, you must be bankrupt remote entity, such as a Limited Liability Corporation, or an Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust.
In a normal premium financing arrangement, you would apply for a policy at the same time you apply for a loan. The loan is usually arranged by the insurance company you are working with although there are many different companies that handle only the financing and do not deal with the actual insurance policy. While you are being medically underwritten for the life insurance policy, your loan is being processed. Assuming you pass the medical exam and qualify for the loan, the policy and financing are put into place at the same time.
The benefits of a premium financing arrangement is that it frees up business and personal money to be used more efficiently in other investment arenas. In addition, life insurance premium financing may minimize gift taxes, and can provide a greater rate of return on the death benefit paid through regular non-financed methods.

 Life Insurance Premium Financing

Life insurance premium financing loans may be repaid either by paying a monthly payment while you are alive, pay from the policy itself, or at the time of your death, proceeds from the policy will pay off the loan.
Interest on the life insurance premium financing loan is considered to be personal interest, and therefore, not tax deductible.

If you are considering a premium financing loan for estate planning, there are some tax issues you may want to consider. The life insurance proceeds will be included in your estate if you own the policy. If the life insurance policy is owned by an irrevocable life insurance trust, estate taxes on the death benefits may be avoided.
Before you consider financing your life insurance premiums you should be aware that the life insurance policy will have to earn returns of between 150 to 300 basis points over the interest rate of the loan.

In addition, you should ask what the loan commitment fee is, as well as knowing whether the life insurance premium financing loan is renewable, how long the term of the loan is, and if the loan extends well beyond your life expectancy.
You may want to find out if the loan requires a personal guarantee, or if the loan is guaranteed by the life insurance policy.

Also, you want to know how if the program is designed on your IRS calculated life expectancy or is it conventional. If the loan is based on your life expectancy, and you live beyond that, the loan amount will exceed the cash value and the whole program will come apart.

Before entering into a financing agreement you may want to consult a trusted attorney, your financial advisor, and/or your Certified Public Accountant.
You will also want to shop around and compare insurance companies, their individual plans, the premium amounts, and the different types and amount of life insurance available to you.

Wishing you all a very happy Thanksgiving. In between stuffing your faces & falling asleep on the couch, don't forget to pause for a minute and think about the things that you have to be thankful for! (Like being able to sit in your nice comfy home on the computer!)
For those of you who are stuck with family obligations you don't want today-
I'll be thinking of you while I hang out with friends and play Mario Cart!

Lorri-Ann Miller to run for Select Board seat
Planning Board member Lorri-Ann Miller has announced her intent to seek election to the Select Board.
Miller, who has served on the Planning Board since 1991, took out nomination papers to run for Kelli Martin Taglianetti's Select Board seat. Taglianetti is a candidate up for re-election, however she has not yet filed papers to run.
Miller is currently unopposed.
"There are a lot of projects I want to get involved in on the Select Board's level," Miller said, listing off the new and old police stations, the Old Southworth Library reuse and the construction of a new library as issues she hopes to work on if elected.
She also wants to help keep Dartmouth on solid financial footing, as decisions may need to be made in the future as less money is coming in than in years past.
She ran for Select Board last year, challenging incumbent Stanley Mickelson for his seat. She ultimately lost by 241 votes.
"That wasn't a huge number of votes to lose by," Miller said.
Since then, many people have asked her to run again, and offered their support to help out.
The town election is on April 3. Incumbent Frank Gracie is also running to keep his seat. So far he is also unopposed.

The truth is we will all be worse off if these proposals become law. The prospect of legal intervention is the surest way of securing a society where respect for human rights, equality and due process guides the behaviour of our decision-makers. This botched attempt to get justice on the cheap would put justice out of reach for all but the most powerful.
By Rachel Robinson, policy officer at Liberty
Our legal system can seem lofty and abstract for those lucky enough not to need recourse to its protection. Lawyers work with mysteriously technical language and an airless court room is somewhere no non-lawyer hopes to spend time.
But this impression is an illusion. When created, legal aid was envisioned as one of the core pillars of our welfare state, standing firmly alongside healthcare and education.
This is exactly as it should be – for our rights and freedoms to be meaningful, they have to be practically enforceable. Effective access to justice is a cornerstone of liberal democracy.
But savage attacks on our legal aid system keep coming. In April, cuts to civil legal aid put publically funded legal advice and representation beyond the reach of vast swathes of the population. Funding has been scrapped for entire areas, with the majority of family, immigration, employment, debt, welfare benefits and education cases now outside the system's scope.
Society's most vulnerable will be hardest hit – children; families struggling with debt; refugees who've fled persecution and seek reunion with family members. Disabled people, who account for nearly two thirds of legally-aided clients in the welfare system, will be disproportionately affected.
With fundamental rights frequently on the line in these areas, the cuts will severely weaken human rights protections for us all as breaches go unchallenged because victims cannot afford the fight.
The law's technicality also makes do-it-yourself justice nigh on impossible. This is just one of the reasons the cuts are sure to prove a false economy in the long run – cases will drag on as litigants-in-person without the requisite skills and experience struggle to negotiate maze-like proceedings.
The next round of cuts couple further assaults on our beleaguered civil justice system with disturbing plans for criminal legal aid. Access to civil legal aid is to depend on a residency test that is arbitrary, unfair and likely unlawful. It would create an underclass of individuals – including abandoned migrant and trafficked children – uniquely vulnerable to neglect and abuse.
Criminal legal fees are to be cut across the sector, with fixed charges replacing graduated fees dependent on case progress. Private companies which are not traditional law firms will be invited to bid for legal aid contracts. Procurements will be on price alone, meaning providers will compete on cost not quality, and people will no longer have any choice over who represents them.
This price-obsessed philosophy could hardly be less appropriate for sophisticated legal services. All incentive to offer an above average service will be lost and standards will inevitably plummet. It will heap impossible burdens on practitioners and the harmonisation of fees could leave defendants feeling pressured to plead guilty.
What happens every day in our criminal courts affects millions and squeezing out decent professionals will undermine fair trials for defendants and victims alike. These reforms aren't about cutting the Champagne budget of 'fat-cat lawyers' – it's not unusual for a legal aid lawyer to earn the equivalent of minimum wage at times.
And, though the plans will inflict pain on these over-worked, undervalued professionals, those who will suffer most are the people who will be priced out of justice – disabled people, children, refugees, those with crippling debts, crime victims and vulnerable people.
The truth is we will all be worse off if these proposals become law. The prospect of legal intervention is the surest way of securing a society where respect for human rights, equality and due process guides the behaviour of our decision-makers. This botched attempt to get justice on the cheap would put justice out of reach for all but the most powerful.
Liberty's legal director James Welch will be speaking at the Demonstation to Save Justice outside the Ministry of Justice tomorrow.Like this article?

You've done it. You may have reserved that journey that you may have always wanted. That's great! Or maybe it's a visit that relates to function or household enterprise. It is likely you have plenty of questions in what you can do, what to package, etc. Listed below are some pointers that can help you begin with your vacationing programs webwellen.
When you are traveling, it is very important ensure your air travel will suit your needs. Different airlines preserve diverse niche categories. Some are low-cost, some supply excellent assistance, and a few serve much more locations than the others. Before you publication any trip by airline, research diverse airlines initial. It will save you a head ache.
Usually bring a private set of earplugs. Be it a kid weeping two lines prior to you or even an annoying individual seated next to you who wants to talk about his aspiration from yesterday from the airplane crashing, it always will help to possess a way to drown out that extraneous disturbance.
When traveling to poorer or less-created locations, steer clear of pressing any of the community creatures. This obviously consists of farm animals, but in addition handles stray kitties and dogs and also draft or load up wildlife. You will never know what diseases these wildlife could possibly be transporting, and chances are you don't have similar immunities as being the natives.
Take alongside at least one dressy outfit together with you whenever you traveling. The better formal clothes are, they more difficult they may be to bring along and care for. Nonetheless, creating the effort to bring one particular pair of classy duds readies anyone to take advantage of unexpected opportunities that could develop on your trip. You don't would like to neglect an excellent evening meal invitation as you have nothing to wear but shorts!
Be versatile. In case your journey days might be tweaked by a day or two, try using the "flexible times" attribute of many online vacation search engines like google. This lets you research departure and profit schedules in a offered collection. By only switching your schedules by a day or two, you might be able to report big price savings on plane tickets.
Keep your most important information and items close to you at all times. Be really aware of trying to keep a detailed eyes on the handbag while you are touring. Stay away from selecting hand bags who have zippered pockets externally. They are easy to access in packed regions, thus if your travelling bag has 1, it is recommended to leave it empty. When selecting a journey handbag, bear this in mind.
Now you need to be far more prepared when it comes to touring. You need to certainly be an expert on how to proceed and things to pack for all your journeys! The guidelines that have been offered must assist you to travel more intelligent and also have a much more pleasant time.

The Crying Traveller: Premise
This is a original character I created back in high school on a comic under that same title. You can say this was the one that started my fetish for Mpregs. Here's the bottom line of my comic:
There is this alternate world where it is still in the medieval ages, where people go about living the life of the Medieval Ages. The only difference is that in this alternate world, it is only inhabited by males. How then, you ask, they reproduce if they're all males? Easy. Their males evolved into two separate species: One is the Estopians and one is the Mundockians. Estopians are pure male with male genitals and all that. Mundockians are males in the exterior, with flat chests and all that, but with female genitals as in the vagina and womb and all that. To differentiate between an Estopian and a Mundockian is the slightly feminine features and body structure of the Mundockians.
As the story goes, when there's medieval times, there's the legendary beasts. The guy in the picture is an Estopian giant from the distant clan of giants. His name is Nakh'Tushka aka Nakh for short. The baby he's carrying belonged to his Mundockian mate named Kalana. He was found by Kalana battered and bruised after fleeing from a war between giant clans (giants in this universe are at constant war because of fighting over land, and are usually brutal in nature), and though Kalana wanted to just leave him there to die, his conscience got the better of him and he took care and nursed Nakh back to health. Nakh slowly fell in love with Kalana and somehow raped him when he got drunk during the celebration of Kalana's birthday. Kalana was traumatized at first, but found out that his feelings were mutual for him to leave him, so they eloped and had an Estopian son named Ellokh.
It was taboo for humans and giants to be lovers, and it didn't take long for others to find out about their relationship. The villagers came to Nakh and Kalana's loveshack, demanding that Kalana give the taboo baby away to them so that they could kill him in honour of the humans. Kalana wouldn't give up without a fight and got a fatal stab trying. Nakh, who just came back from gathering food, found Kalana holding the crying Ellokh tightly in his arms and the villagers trying to pry the baby away from him. Enraged, Nakh stormed over to them and killed them and the entire village in the process before going back to Kalana to nurse him, but it was too late. With his dying breath, Kalana said 'I Love You' to Nakh before closing his eyes forever...
Nakh, since he got banished from the giant clan for fratenizing with humans, now travels around with Ellokh in his arms and a coffin containing his love on his back, and whenever he thought about him, he cries...
Though as I drew more arts as I try to rekindle my passion for this character, it had somehow evolved and expanded, and the ending had somehow morphed into something more, so yeah. Just thought I'd share

M.I.A. This Week End... Maybe
I might not be able to make it to the gaming session this weekend. Although the actual cause of all this is tomorrow and it will end before noon, I do not like to do anything else until it is over and I might be too tired to make it for Sunday.

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has achieved another world record. This week, DEWA awarded a 700MW project priced at AED14.2 billion (US$3,86 billion). The project is the fourth phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park. The award is the largest single-site Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) project in the world. It is also the largest CSP project based on the IPP model. The contract is awarded to a consortium comprising Saudi Arabia's ACWA Power and China's Shanghai Electric.
Record Low CSP Price
DEWA has said that the consortium bid was the lowest levelized cost of electricity received at US$0.073/kWh.
A commitment to Solar
"Our focus on renewable energy generation has led to a drop in tender prices worldwide. We have helped to lower the price of solar power bids in Europe and the Middle East and this project will do the same. This was evident today when we received the lowest CSP project cost in the world," HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, CEO of DEWA, said in a statement.
"Awarding this strategic project supports the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. His vision is to promote sustainability and make Dubai a global center for clean energy…. The Dubai Clean Energy Strategy … seeks to increase the share of clean energy in Dubai's total power output to 7% by 2020, 25% by 2030, and 75% by 2050.
Project Specs
According to DEWA, the project will have the world's tallest solar tower, measuring 260 meters. Project commissioning will begin in 2020.
The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park will generate 1,000 MW by 2020 and 5,000 MW by 2030. The 13-MW solar PV first phase was operational in 2013. The 200-MW solar PV second phase was launched in early 2017. The 800-MW solar PV third phase will be operational by 2020.

text: Cerignola to Ragusa trains might be a good value for money solution: travelling in Italy by train is often rather cheap and faster than taking a bus indeed Trains leave from Cerignola Campagna and arrive at Ragusa every about 4 hours on average. If travelling with Trenitalia, you need to know the Cerignola to Ragusa train schedule: the first train leaves at 16:26, while the last ride is at 23:17. A Cerignola to Ragusa train cost about 75.0 €. But how long is the train ride from Cerignola to Ragusa? Your journey takes about 20 hours on average.

2016 Track and Field
Beavers set school records at HCAC Championships
February 20, 2016
DEFIANCE, Ohio - The HCAC Indoor Track & Field Championship was a day for school records by the Bluffton University Beavers. Never in the history of the program have so many new marks been established in a single meet.
The records started to fall early in the competition when the women's 4 x 200 meter relay quintet of Terrill Webb (Kenton), Hannah Krull (Lewisburg/Tri-County North), Keturah Warlick (East Point, Mich./Clintondale) and Sarah Hunter (Mt. Blanchard/Riverdale) eclipsed the 2005 mark by four tenths of a second, and this in spite of some "interesting" handoffs. Soon thereafter Warlick shaved seven tenths off the 60 meter mark she had set earlier in the season.
The most impressive Beaver performance of the day, however, came next when Edgar Gonzalez (Melvindale, Mich./Melvindale) smashed the school record that had been held by now Bluffton throws coach Jason Fisher. Gonzalez heaved the 35-pound weight 17.49 meters or 57' 4.75", a distance which currently places him 13th on the NCAA Division III national performance list, and won the event. In only a matter of minutes, Jack Fisher (Norwalk/St. Paul) took over four seconds from his year old mile record for a 3rd place finish. Fisher went on to do an impressive double by finishing 4th in the 800 meters less than an hour later. Almost simultaneously Kyle Knezovich (Utica) established a new record in the pole vault, bettering the mark he had set earlier in the season by three inches and placing 3rd overall. Female vault phenom Terrill Webb (Kenton) showed her speedy side by breaking the 200 meter record that had stood since 2003, establishing the new record at 26.94 and also placing 3rd. The record breaking ended near the end of the meet when Anna Hairston (Mansfield/Ontario) stopped the clock just in time to break her own 3000 meter record from last year, after having placed 5th over the 5000 meter distance at the start of the meet.
"In 27 years of coaching, I have never had the honor of seeing so many of my team's school records fall in such quick succession," said Head Coach Karen Brandt. "What a testament this is to the spirit, toughness and competitiveness of our athletes and coaches."
School records were not the only thrills on the day for the Beavers. In addition to Gonzalez's victory in the weight throw, Webb continued her dominance in the pole vault, claiming her 5th consecutive title in the five combined indoor and outdoor HCAC championships she has contested to date. Her clearance broke the championship record she had previously set and established a new Defiance facility record.
D'Nae Reese (Columbus/Upper Arlington) continued her superb throwing with a 2nd place in the women's 20 pound weight throw. Sarah Hunter had a busy day with a 2nd in the 800, 3rd in the 400 and anchoring both the 4 x 200 and 4 x 400 meter relays to season-best times. Brandt stated, "The 400/800 double is quite difficult with only 30 minutes between the two events. Sarah probably would have won the 800 except for the fatigue in her legs from the 400. But she wanted to take on this demanding double for her team. Terrill also had a hectic day. She won the vault, led off the 4 x 200 and 4 x 400 relays and grabbed 3rd in the 200. Like Hunter, she did this in a short time frame and really stepped up for the women's team."
Rounding out third place performances for the team was the women's distance medley composed of Devony Miller (Findlay/Liberty-Benton), Hannah Krull, Miranda Hostettler (Glenmont/West Holmes) and Alissa Hauke (Hillsboro). A number of other Beavers finished in points-paying positions as well. Reese was 7th in shot put; Knezovich 6th in the 60 meter hurdles; the men's 4 x 200 which consisted of Austin McKinnon (Baltimore/Millersport), Austin Brown (Newton Falls/Newton Falls), Thaddeus Phillips (South Bend, Ind./Riley) and Quincy Salcido (Van Wert) and 4 x 400 (Knezovich, McKinnon, Fisher and Salcido) were both 4th; the womens' 4 x 200 and 4 x 400 (Webb, Krull, Miller and Hunter) were 5th; Brown was 6th in high jump; Gonzalez 7th in shot put and Sarah Oliver (Lexington) 7th in pole vault with a new PR clearance. Also establishing new PR's were Shawn Campo (Galion) over 800 meters; Daniel Gregg (Ontario/Mansfield Christian) in the mile; Michael Lehman (West Liberty/West Liberty-Salem) and Patrick Brean (Ashland) at 3000 meters, Chris Tatom (Vickery/Margaretta) in the 5000 meters; and DiVaunta Spearman (Sandusky/Willard) in the weight throw.
Webb, Reese and Gonzalez will compete at Anderson University on Saturday, Feb. 27, as they continue their training aimed at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championship meet March 11-13 at Grinnell College in Iowa.

Thanks for the information. A lot of good stuff there.
Please update the information on Terrance Woodbury. He is a key player. Why is there no information on his performance from last year?
There is nothing on Drazen Zlovaric. There must be some reason. Even if he wasn't around for picture day, there should be some information on him for the roster.
A little more editing would be nice.

This cake was some work. Probably the most complicated thing I have done, outside of wedding cakes (damn, where are those wedding cake pictures???) Mostly because it wasn't just one cake, but one monster cake and 2 smash cakes.
First the smash cakes... similar to the monkey I posted before, but these 2 didn't turn out quite as good, I don't think. But this was at the end of about 3 days of marathon baking/making/decorating. I cut myself a little slack on that part of the project.
Next, the centerpiece was inspired by the 5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed story/game. This was a huge, HEAVY cake. The bed is a two layer 12x15 cake with raspberry filling. It is iced with buttercream. The bedspread is made out of Fruit by the Foot. I cut the fruit into 14" and 18" strips. After doing that, I weaved them together, using a bit of water on a paintbrush to seal the ends of the strips. After completing that, I draped the blanket over the "bed" and turned back the top of the blanket.
I created 2 pillows out of fondant, and added ribbons of icing on the pillows and around the bottom of the bedspread for ruffles.
The headboard is gumpaste that I colored a very light brown, then I colored another chunk a darker brown. Then, I mixed them together, but not too much, because I wanted it to be swirled to resemble wood. Mission accomplished!! I rolled it out flat and cut it freehand. I let the gum paste dry for a couple of days so it would be nice and hard. The bedposts are rolled with a gum paste ball attached to the top.
The bananas are just candy that was purchased in individual packets for party favors from Oriental Trading, I think. You could pick all the bananas out of 15 boxes of Runts, but this was probably easier.
Next, the adorable monkeys! Each of these creatures was made out of fondant. I created a different pose for each one, and a different facial expression. I can now make a monkey out of fondant in about 20 minutes, if all the fondant is already colored. Boy, were my hands sore after kneading all that color. I did cheat and use the precolored fondant for the black portions.
The noses were a little unique. Just a small ball, and I used a dry embossing stylus to make the nostrils. I think it adds a little something, dontcha think?
Here are a couple of closeups of the monkeys.
My favorite part of doing this cake? Watching my 12 year old son eat the big huge ball of Fruit by the Foot after I took it off to cut the cake. He was green by the time he was done. Mmmm, love me some Red Dye #40!

March 7th snow
These photos are from March 7th. The snow came down in big fluffy snowflakes and piled up everywhere in an hour or two. The weather stayed around the freezing point for a few days before the snow was gone. We seldom get these opportunities to shoot the snow.
I finished cleaning, feeding and watering the top two tiers of my light garden. I have yet to do the cactus tier. The plants look pretty good, since I have been fertilizing them more regularly.

The jumbo jet garage / Bankrupt United rehiring mechanics at huge SFO base
After waves of layoffs in which it furloughed thousands of employees -- including 9,000 in Northern California since 2001 -- United Airlines is bringing a few of those workers back.
The number of returning workers is small -- just 100 mechanics, spread over the next month or two. But it's a positive move for the bankrupt carrier, fueled by new business at United's sprawling maintenance center at San Francisco International Airport.
The San Francisco Maintenance Center can become a profit center for the airline's parent company, UAL Corp., and lift its plan to emerge from Chapter 11, said Gregory Hall, senior vice president of maintenance and engineering.

"We've identified areas that we are going to be specializing in here," said Hall, who recently joined United after 20 years at competitor American Airlines. "They are avionics, aircraft engines and landing gear. All of them are very high-tech and take a high degree of training and skill. This is where we can be most successful."
The San Francisco Maintenance Center covers 144 acres at the edge of the bay and boasts 2.9 million square feet of operational space. It is the largest of United's five domestic repair stations and 18 foreign stations.
The center has serviced United planes since it opened in 1948. But now, as the company pushes to increase revenue, the base is doing repair work for other airlines, air cargo companies and the U.S. military. Hall referred to the outside work as "in-sourcing," but noted that United outsources some tasks it no longer wants to handle at SFO, such as heavy aircraft-body maintenance, which it sends to Mobile Aerospace, an Alabama company.
Landing contracts from other companies is a competitive process, Hall said. "We compete with aircraft manufacturers like Boeing and Pratt-Whitney for the high-end work," he said.
Most of the center's non-United work is done for commercial clients, but longtime United customer Uncle Sam sends jet fighters there for service. Indeed, 25 percent of the work at the SFO facility is done for the Pentagon, according to United spokesman Jeff Green.
"In addition to the U.S. military, our customers include Air China, Korean Air, Air Canada, LOT Polish Airlines, US Airways and Northwest," Green added. "Our customer base also includes FedEx and Nippon Cargo."
Some of those customers are new, especially the Asian airlines. SFO's location on the Pacific Rim makes it a natural place to entice Asian airlines, whose planes are serviced here after crossing the Pacific and before returning home, said Gene House, the maintenance center's general manager.
Inside, the facility is a hive of activity and near-constant motion of workers and machinery, humming and whirling under high metal ceilings.
In the main building, avionics specialists hook up $250,000 black boxes, which house core electronics gear used to navigate and operate aircraft. A black box, which could cost up to $40,000 to repair, sits outside its home aircraft on a metal ledge while a technician runs tests.
On the floor, neatly lined up like metal pods, aircraft engines await a technician's attention. Hall points to the circular metal blades inside an idle jet engine. "Each one of those blades costs $10,000 to make," he said.
In another part of the huge facility, a jet engine mounted high above a bare concrete floor roars and shakes at the push of a touch screen prompt. The engine is being revved up to 70,000 pounds of thrust as a mechanic at a computer in a nearby sound-proof room runs a routine check-up.
"We expect to service 407 engines here this year," Hall said. That's up from 370 engines in 2003, he said, and the work is expected to generate $106.5 million in revenue for the cash-strapped carrier.
Inside the main hangars, mechanics and technicians clamber over the fuselage and walk out on the wings of jumbo jets parked in maintenance bays. Some of these aircraft, both Boeing and Airbus models, will be partly dismantled, then reassembled before they take to the skies again.
The rise in maintenance business has enabled United to bring back the 100 furloughed mechanics, who will be drawn from the seniority list of union workers in Northern California and around the country, said Joseph Prisco, president of Local 9 of the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association.
"We'd like the number to be higher, but we are still in bankruptcy, and it's a good sign that United is bringing people back," he said.
Prisco said the powerful mechanics union endorses United's strategy of specializing in high-profit business at the San Francisco center.
"We do a lot of work for foreign airlines, like Air China," he said. "Some of these airlines can't get the skills they need at home. It might cost them a bit more here, but we can do it faster and better, and the airlines love that. They can get it (an aircraft) back on wing and start making money."
The recalled workers will join 5,000 workers already at the San Francisco facility. It is a rare expansion for United, which shut down maintenance centers in Indianapolis and at Oakland International Airport last year. Of 700 workers in Oakland "more than 600 employees" moved to San Francisco, Green said.
The closures were cost-cutting moves for United, the nation's second- largest carrier, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in December 2002. Since then, the airline has busily restructured, saying that it hopes to leave Chapter 11 by the end of June. UAL still hopes to land federal loan guarantees of nearly $2 billion to help it do that.
Going aggressively after outside work will become a long-term practice at the San Francisco Maintenance Center, said Hall, who noted that San Francisco also won a competitive bid from UAL to paint and reconfigure seats in all the Airbus 320 aircraft for Ted, the low-cost carrier that United introduced last month.
By the end of the year, 45 planes will be repainted with the Ted logo and reconfigured into economy and premium economy seats, according to Hall, accounting for 40 additional jobs in Northern California.

His work is innovative, provocative and even mischievous. Amazed by his neon works, he shows his great interest in communication through them, always playing with language and involving the public with his message. This contemporary American artist uses a wide range of materials and disciplines to carry out his practice: sculpture, video, drawing, performance, photography, printmaking and neon. Perhaps this last media is the one characterises him the best. Luminous, playful and vivid, Nauman loves examining life and he observes transformation and activity to obtain future inspiration. If you have the chance to visit any of his exhibitions, go and have fun!

This american photographer makes that kind of pictures we would love to keep sometime at home as a treasure. Member of Magnum, one of his well known creations are his pictures from Harlem, NY, but also his personal view on american contemporary history. Finely contrasted, strong portraits and lovely scenes are part of what we see, but nothing compared to what we feel. Hope you like it, we constantly do.

A post for ARR's 46th birthday. Here's wishing him a very very Happy Birthday and a long healthy life ahead!
(Select the text at the end of the line to see the translations for the Tamil/Hindi words)
As one wakes up to the Manjal Velicham(yellow sunshine)
looking forward to the Vellai Pookkal, (white flowers)
with lots of Chinna Chinna Aasai for the day, (small and simple wishes)
and with a Shauk to realize the meaning of (in the pursuit of)
Endrendrum Punnagai through the day, (everlasting smile)
into the night with the beautiful Vennila (white moon)
asking her if she'd Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya. (will you cross the skies for the me)
With kalagalavena pozhiyum megham soon (clouds that shower rain)
covering her up,
it sure seems to be a Khaamosh Raat with the tiny raindrops (silent night)
just enough to ensure Sattena Nanaindhadhu Nenjam (make one's heart moist)
and pause its beating for a second as in Ay Hairathey,
when you dream of someone you could be a
Ragasiya Snehidhan to, and (secret friend)
with the thought that Kahin To Hogi Woh. (there's that someone somewhere)
A few Jaage Hain in search of the (stay up the night)
Putham Putham Bhoomi (a new world)
covered with the petals of the Maargazhi Poo (Maargazhi flower)
and some Pudhu Vellai Mazhai. (new white rain/snow)
And a few others go to sleep,
resting in peace for that night. (RIP)
Deepi's sketch for ARR's birthday. Thank you @_deepi

I will break format here for a different combination which I found quite complimentary. Smithwicks is a decent red in a bottle, and one of my favorite Beers of all time when fresh on draught. By fresh I refer to the experience I had several years ago whilst visiting Wexford, Ireland: I was in a small establishment sipping on the ubiquitous pint of Guinness when a fellow patron recommended this amber draught. I tried it, and great scott was it fantastic. Eveytime I crack open a bottle here I am always reminded of a great pint surfing an Irish spring.
That's neither here nor there, what I am getting to is the above combination. My freeform pipe (an Andrew Michael original) found it's way to my mouth filled with a bowl of Independence by CAO. This is a great smoke which I never tire of. Its a nice blend of Virginia tobacco that is slightly smokey yet smooth and sweet. I feel as if it was made to be paired with this Beer. Together they create a dark yet mildly sweet flavor that ever so slightly burns the tongue. Bravo!

Is appreciation really required? Do we all crave for it to a certain extent? Or is it just pure need if acknowledgment that we all crave for.
Finally, I got to be a part of competition where I can showcase my talent if speaking and even improve on it. It not only requires an aspiring lawyer to be a good speaker but it even stresses on a need that each team must have a memo along with them. It is more like a trial court where the participants have to provide their arguments.This is what we call as mooting competition.
We are expected to research well on the issues provided in thr compromise I.e the moot problem.
I have been too engaged in researching regarding the same for the past whole week. I am tired. I am not a great student but an above average person.
I am not perfect but I seek perfection and wish to attain it. Making the otherwise, comfortable road for an above average like me all the more difficult to walk on.
I am genuinely tired. Tired of handling people, assigning work, taking responsibility and moreover, trying to ensure that my friends aren't affected because of the sudden change in our daily lives.
I wonder what freedom is? How do people manage everything with ease. My 24 hours go by even without me realising about it.
Am I too busy or just a hardworker?
I guess I am none. I spend most of my time wondering and thinking what could be done better in one of the task that I have undertaken or the other.
But, somehow I am not able to achieve the point where I wish to be. The point is not clear for me as well. But, in search of that one point I lose my path altogether.
For most of you, what I said may not be making sense. It is just a glimpse of how my mind works every second shifting from one thought to another .
I wonder how to be in complete control of it and just achieve one thing at a time.
Is it too hard to achieve?
I mean having just attention to one task and achieve it and even trying to make it unique as well as creative. later focusing on the other.
For example: If I start a research project and start working on it. I will find different material and internet has become such a huge storage of information that you are bound to find one person or the other who has already researched what you are researching. So, no new material is formulated by you. You are reading and rephrasing it in a manner which is considered unique by others whereas all that while you will be doing is paraphrasing an already existing literature.
Not bringing anything unique or new to existence. But, just the ideology of someone who researched on the same issue before yours and his peers.

On his black wing-tip shoes, like Executives wear."

A huge lighting display coming to grain elevators near IKEA By Nancy Fowler • Dec 20, 2017 Provided | Raven Fox Many St. Louisans pack the family into the car, drive around, and ooh and ah over lighting displays during the Christmas season.
