Be one of the first to own this new, yet proven, model
Island Packet is very pleased to announce the new Island Packet 520, yet another new model to be launched later this year! Building on the popularity of the offshore race-winning and globe-cruising center cockpit 485, the new 520 introduces an aft cockpit version of the hull with the great looks and combination of seakeeping, comfort, livability, quality, ease of handling and value as only Island Packet can deliver.
With somewhat more sail area and less weight than the IP485, the 520 will build on the already proven sailing performance of the 485. Generous storage and machinery space is available throughout the interior and in the large lazarette. The interior accommodations, like the 485, offer three cabins and two heads with separate showers. All interior living space is on a single level throughout, with several choices for the "third stateroom" configuration.
Other custom features as buyers may desire will be quoted on request. Large stainless steel framed windows give great light and visibility to the spacious main saloon while the usual assortment of overhead hatches, opening ports and Dorade-style vents allow for generous ventilation.
This is base price. Contact us for more details and the numerous options available to ORDER this boat today. Images are manufacturer provided and not of a boat in-stock.

When Loneliness Becomes Your Lover
I remember
when I was little,
my dad checking for monsters
under my bed,
that I was safe.
He could never
I remember,
you in
middle school
looking pretty,
like the night,
exactly like I wanted
you to,
and the laughter of
the others.
They said I
was crazy,
they said,
your seat,
was always empty.
I remember,
the long walks home
from college, every day
and how much
I appreciated you
for being there
by my side,
and how the ignorant people
kept glancing at us,
as if we were
breaking the 4th wall.
I remember,
on graduation,
my mom and dad
being too busy
and you being the only one
in the sea of murmurs,
whom I
could call
my own.
I remember,
all those nights
when the world
ceased to matter,
and us,
just us,
hiding in my closet
because the lights
were too damn bright
for you
and I couldn't see
you, suffering.
they've sent me,
to a doctor.
She wears silly ear rings,
and a perfume
that sucks my blood dry.
She, with her
pretty equipment,
checks my eyes
and my speech
and my soul.
She tells me,
that I need
to make friends,
to be more social,
dress better, maybe
because I'm losing me,
inside myself.
I smile,
but never tell her
about you.
Like I never told
my dad,
checking under my bed
all those years ago,
that one could
And sometimes,
within the walls
of the mind,
it becomes
your lover.

The Grand Prismatic Pool - Yellowstone
Grand Prismatic - Yellowstone
6x8in oil on canvas panel $125.
If you are wondering what on earth this is besides color, you will not be alone.
This is abstract by nature and execution.
It is a composite from memory. One of the more difficult pieces I have done with
the fracturing technique...no scumbling the mist on here!
Of all the spots we went to in Yellowstone, this is the one which
made my heart beat
faster and my eyes and mind go into orbit.
Words seem inadequate to explain the surreal experience of walking in
and out of
mystical mists exposing gorgeous blues and turquoise
next to brilliant rust, orange and yellows
...only for them to disappear again.
If you have never been there, then check this video our friend and guide, Dave Hon, made.
Huge crowds gather to watch Old Faithful blow a plain white blast into the sky,
but it has nothing on the emotional level of this misty beauty of power and color.
In my humble opinion of course...

CaraJulie, when I think StatesReplyDelete
my heart goes out in the Canyons.
My daughter has come in the States "on the road" and when she wish something nice for the future, she says, "all of us together one day ... we should go in the Canyons"!Valentina's heart was impressed by the Grand Canyon, by Brice Canyon and Zion park! Now your paintings bring me there already!Replies

Thanks so much, Hilda. Pleasing you makes my day!Delete
I've never been there but you have brought it to me! Beautiful earthy colors in this abstract!ReplyDelete
Your humble opinion counts for a lot with me. This painting does say everything you've written . I can feel the spray. The copper rocks and the water are fantastic. You are a highly skilled lady with that tool of yours.ReplyDelete
The Prismatic Spring is indeed an amazing thing!!! You've turned me into a poet, Julie!! LolReplyDelete

|Ribbon Cutting Celebration at STC Higher Education Center in La Joya ISD
Posted Date: 02/03/2018
South Texas College (STC) together with the La Joya Independent School District (LJISD) held a ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating the expansion of the South Texas College Higher Education Center at La Joya.
The event symbolized the completion of the 2013 bond construction project that provides state-of-the-art classrooms and labs for STEM programs and welding workforce training programs.
"We all acknowledge that a better educated workforce translates into stronger and more vibrant communities. The 2013 bond issue provided STC the opportunity to dedicate $1.6 million for construction and renovation of the Higher Education Center. We are very appreciative for the great support and the $400,000 that LJISD also contributed toward the renovation and construction of these facilities," stated Graciela Farias, STC Board of Trustees Vice Chair
"Students who take advantage of these facilities will benefit from the state-of-the-art classrooms and labs, and will acquire the knowledge and skills that will help them further pursue higher education or gain workforce skills so they may prosper in future careers," said Farias. "We encourage community members to visit these facilities and to imagine the possibilities."
The new facilities will come equipped with upgraded science labs, lecture classrooms and computer labs to support STEM programs. Additionally, an outdoor welding lab has been constructed that will provide 42 stations for students, and will provide state-of-the-art workforce preparation for high-wage careers in welding.
Dr. Alda T. Benavides, LJISD Superintendent, believes that the alliance with STC has contributed to the success of students. "The partnership with STC has definitely helped our students get ahead and get a feel for college life, but most importantly it affirms to them that they can do it," said Benavides. "This alone is a great accomplishment."
Students can register for these and other programs online at https://campuses.southtexascollege.edu/lajoya/ or any South Texas College location. A complete listing of upcoming classes is available at SouthTexasCollege.edu/academics/courses/.

From The Financial Times:
"A new battle is breaking out among the titans of cloud computing, as competition in the fast-growing sector shifts to a fresh arena: artificial intelligence.
Amazon is the latest tech company to join the fray, boosting its focus on artificial intelligence at a time when Amazon Web Services, its cloud computing division, is locked in competition with Microsoft and Google.
AWS, which sells computing and data storage services to IT professionals, is the fastest growing and most profitable part of Amazon. Sales in the past 12 months grew 60 per cent to $11bn, making Amazon's cloud businessthe largest in the world.
Amazon has embarked on a fresh push in artificial intelligence, recently unveiling three new AI services and investing in a deep learning framework, MXNet, which will power its future AI efforts."

My apologies in advance for this hodge podge of a post.
First off, thanks for letting me vent yesterday. I went to bed early and I am feeling much better.
Today was a good day. I didn't get much done in my room, but my assistant did and I feel like I might actually get to take Friday off. (We're supposed to be off, but the school is open.. so for the past three years I've gone in!)
Little Dog rolled around in something with a strong funky smell. I'm thinking an animal or something. Whatever it was, it was rotten. So I had to give her a bath. Little Dog is known for being a bit of a... well... how do I put this nicely? A princess? (exhibit a- refuses to go into wet grass and will pee on the cement, exhibit b- when camping, she lays in chairs instead of on the ground, exhibit c- she is always looking for attention) So giving her a bath is always an adventure. In her bath tonight? She climbed out of the tub while I was trying to get her wet and proceeded to get me SOAKED. She is now running around (wet) in the dogs room trying to dry off.
In my infinite wisdom, I then decided to give Big Dog a bath so I would have two clean dogs. I now look like I just got out of the shower because she shook all over me as soon as I let her out of the tub.

I was bummed that I missed the auto show in SD last week, so I'm pretty excited to have found these photos. And because there are so many of them, I loaded them as small as possible. To view them larger, click directly on the image.
The Toyota Hybrid site is also worth taking a look at. They've recently done some redesigning and it looks great. Expect pop-ups.
Nice front. This must be the SE, it has that sporty grill.
It makes me want to drive fast just looking at it. I hope they have some better colors though. Though I like gray or silver cars, there's too many of them out there.
Is this one of those glow-in-the-dark panels? I noticed there's more buttons on the steering wheel. I love buttons.
Not sure how I feel about the blue.
Ooohh, shiftronic! At least, that's what Hyundai calls it.
These door handles look interesting. They're a combinatin of The Jetson's meets meat-locker metal.
Notice that big grill in the front...maybe an LE or other model. I've noticed that a lot of these big grills are popular in the new cars.
Boring shot of the back-end that reminds me of the Nissan Altima.
Another grill shot. Again, the front looks big and blunt. Or to quote Shawn, "burly." OK OK so he's describing his Infinity, but I like it.
I really want to drive the '07 hybrid Camry. I can't wait!

I was thinking about this recently; thinking about what I want to work on as a writer. Not questioning my reasons for writing, but jotting down some notes about where I want to go, so that I can brainstorm and get a better, clearer, grasp on the next project. The next idea that I can flesh out and bring to life.
That was the inspiration for this warmup, which I thought would be appropriate to ask of others as well. Partly because I'm interested in what other people have to say, and partly because I'm curious to see where other people want to go (I'm hoping the difference is clear to someone besides myself *grin*.)
- I want to explore (originally typed as 'explode') different applications of magic that I have not seen printed before.Scrying as a method for voyeurism, animating golems for pleasure, creating armies of elemental golems, etc. are some of the elements that I've worked on/planned to date.
- I want to focus on different creatures / explore less commonly used mythology.There's a lot of vampire/werewolf fiction floating around lately… and while I can work with this by striking out in a new direction as mentioned below, I also want to work in less contested areas.
- I want to, as a writer, bring something new to the table.Too much of what I see is re-hashed basics. Not that there isn't room for it, but I want to do something new. People say that everything's been done before, that nothing is new. I don't agree. Just because it may have been done before, doesn't mean that it can't be new. Like a used car isn't new, but it's new to you… something that's been around before, but not really seen… can be new to the readers.
New depends on point of view. I want to challenge yours.
- I want to shed new light on old subjects by turning the status quo on its head, shaking things up and leaving them upside down.One of my favorite series recently is by Chris Golden and has a completely different take on vampires– known as shadows. He interweaves the common myth with something new and uses the common myth as a plot device that limits the abilities of the shadows… and then he lets them overcome it.
- I want to
describeportray the trials and joys of unique and believable characters.Characters are what I remember best about a book. I may not remember the title, and I may not remember their names, but I remember what they do, and how they react, and what made them feel alive. If my characters don't do that, I'm doing something very wrong.
Characters drive the story in my writing, or they should. The plot comes about as a result of the actions of my characters– my characters are not molded by the plot but mold the plot instead.
- I want my works to have the vivid emotional impact upon my readers that some of my favorite books inspire in me.There are books that I can read, and reread, and reread again, that make me cry every single time that I do. I want that. If I can provoke that kind of reaction, then I've dug down deep enough inside myself to tell you a story that is worth the time to tell it. And worth your hard-earned money.
- I want to up the stakes– both for myself and for the genres I write in (or even the industry as a whole).I want my work to have an impact… not just on my readers, but on other authors as well.
- I want to manage my time better so that I can work a full-time job and be a productive writer on the way to publication at the same time.We all have problems with finding time for writing. Even when I was unemployed I still had trouble finding enough time for writing. It seems like the amount of free time available never truly expands; something else always expands to take up any slack instead. Partly this is due to procrastination; partly this is due to certain things that need to be changed, and I need to make those changes happen.

Dear diary,
The cherry on the top of the sundae of poverty is…
I can't start this entry out like that. What do poor and rich mean, anyway? I want to remark that poor people have to hear about the lives of the ultra-rich, but the ultra-rich don't have to hear anything about the poor. Like, when an ultra-rich person has a baby or gets married or divorced, or if they buy a new suit or dress, everyone in the world has to stare at the fact because it's on the front page of the news. The poor, on the other hand, never make the news for their life's achievements: just like Jesus, only their death is important; and it's usually grouped together into an anonymous bundle with similar daily facts, so the rich spit-take their champagne and mumble Egad, after reading the headline "X billion more poor souls expired this morning on the hillside of Golgotha."
But again, I wonder: Who are the poor, and who are the rich? I suppose that everyone identifies with being poor, because one can always find someone else who has more wealth than oneself. Do even the ultra-rich think of themselves as poor? And there's a vast group of average people, who possess much more than the "poor" but much less than the "rich." Why can't everyone be rich? I guess if everyone were ultra-rich then that type of wealth would just be considered average. We'd think the world had gone down the tubes.
Money is a manmade concept — am I wrong about this? Can't we change the "rules" of money, whenever we want? Didn't humankind invent economics? Why don't we earthlings fix the obvious problem? It's like that good old phrase "I've created a monster!" The concept's out of control. Whoever amasses in the biggest pool of coins in a society is supposed to be the most valuable, right? Maybe I'm wrong — if so, let's pretend I'm right, so that I can continue this line of thought. (I can't hear you anyway, if you object.) So the wealthiest citizens are the most valuable. Well, who are the richest people in our country? I say that those who contribute to THE BASIC NEEDS OF ALL should receive the highest pay. So a truly great country would have its wealthiest class consist of farmers, nurses, builders of houses, water-processing plant workers, avant-garde poets, etc…
But here, in the United States of America, the richest people are those who shuffle money around. And so are confidence tricksters, tyrannical corporate monopolists, and politicians.
Now if we take the idea of a politician in the very best sense; that is, if we take it to mean "public servant," then I can see why we would want them to possess ample wealth. We should pay our politicians generously, by establishing a high salary for their position, so that they are not tempted to take bribes. Senators should be billionaires because they are paid oversized dollar amounts by the government; that way, they'll have an incentive to maintain the highest health of the government (which stands for the people, after all—or at least it should).
But these crooks who shuffle money around — why should they be rich? This is a tough question, because one aspect of the shuffling of money is investing in business, which sounds like a good thing: the first example that comes to mind is a mom-and-pop store that sells patriotic-colored windsocks: What kind of chowderhead wouldn't want to reward farsighted investors for helping to finance such an establishment? We all need windsocks, to know which direction the zeitgeist is blowing. But how much is too much interest to charge on a loan? And how ruthless do you want to allow lenders to act toward their clients?
I intended to continue to sermonize in detail about the countless other facets of this topic; but now I'm bored with it, so I'll stop. In truth, I've been bored since the second paragraph. But I continued to write, for the same reason that a spouse remains in a bad marriage. One thinks: Hey, I've made it this far – maybe, if I tough it out, the situation will begin to improve. …But nothing ever improves: a dull third paragraph leads to a dull fourth paragraph, and the next thing you know, you're in your old age, your years of decline, your dotage: second childhood is upon you, and now you need this acrimonious partnership to survive the tribulations of day-to-day life.
…those poor slaves with weary footsteps tread,
Who travel to their home among the dead
By the broad highway of the world, and so
With one chained friend, perhaps a jealous foe,
The dreariest and longest journey go.
(That's from Percy Bysshe Shelley's "Epipsychidion.") —Sorry about the depressing ending… I kind of like it, though.

Old and Crotchety
So there were plans a foot for a Peace Corps New Years. Other volunteers were going to a beach on the southside of the island for two nights to ring in the New Year.
Cale and I were too old and crotchety for all that fun. "It sounds like such a hassle to get there," we thought. "It is too expensive for two people," we said. So we texteded a decline to the invite.
Later we started to regret this decision. "Are we boring and not fun?" we wondered. Of course at this point it wouldn't work out anyway. I was sitting on a hot water bottle all the time with a new boil (Moms: Don't freak out, it is fine. I am on antibiotics).
Instead we decided to have a chill Mexican night. We made tortillas and Cale made refried beans and guacamole from scratch. We also made some chips to eat with salsa.
I stuffed my face and we watched a year in review slideshow of all our pictures on iPhoto. Could we be more cute? Or old and boring? I think not.

Okay, I won't freak out about the boil. I will only freak out because you are wasting away to skin and bone. (Actually, I won't freak out about that either, maybe I need to be on the Samoan diet. I haven't seen 113 pounds on my scale since 1980.)

Tzfat (Safed), Israel
This drawing was from a photo I took while out walking with my friend during the winter months on our trip to Israel. Tzfat is on the top of the hill which makes for interesting walking up and down many steps. It was and still is the town with many mystics. Tzfat is in northern Israel, not too far from the border with Lebanon (and Syria). It is spelled many different ways in English.

Meditation Drop-In Group
Free Day of Mindfulness at International House, Sunday Aril 29th
This drop-in meditation workshop is less formal and is designed to meet other needs that students might have including:
- If you're not sure if meditation is for you
- If you have completed one of the workshops and like you had a chance to practice to maintain their skills.
- If you are waiting for another workshop to start and would like some exposure before the workshop starts
- If your schedule does not allow you to commit to formal group, which asks that, you make a commitment to attend a certain amount of session.
I strongly encourage you to take advantage of the many mindfulness meditation opportunities that CAPS offers. Those who take a break from this drop-in workshop in order to attend a time-limited workshop are whole-heartedly welcomed back upon the completion of the other workshop.
Mindfulness is a skill that will serve you well beyond your time at Penn.
Topics that I will reinforce include the importance of using mindfulness outside of the formal practice. You are encouraged to do 20 breaths between sessions. The importance of gratitude will also be stressed as gratitude has been shown to help one feel less isolated and more a part of a community. Gratitude has also shown to lessen sadness and depression. It allows you to feel that the world is less mean spirited and is actually supportive.
I will also address issues that are common to the human condition: feeling isolated, shame, not good enough, perfectionism, procrastination, and the "Penn face". There will be an emphasis on the need for self-compassion and the benefits to being less self and other judgmental. Living life with a sense of calm and mastery requires adopting certain key factors. Too often, we are too busy to pay attention to these facets. With mindfulness, we can begin to slow down to evaluate what is working and what we would like to change.
Mindfulness is about "waking up". Mindfulness is a life style, a skill that will serve you well beyond your time at Penn. As a Penn alumna I look forward to helping you begin that journey.
What is this Workshop About?
WHERE: Here at CAPS, 3624 Market Street, 1st Floor West When: Thursdays 5-6pm, starting Thursday, January 18th
Newcomers please arrive at 4:30pm. Before you join the drop-in group, please print, complete, and bring this brief information form to your first session.
There is an optional 6-6:30pm session to discuss how to tailor the practice into your daily life
This is a drop-in workshop. There is no need to sign up. Just show up. You are not obligated to attend a set number of sessions; however, the more that you practice, the better you are at avoiding or minimizing stressors.
Finally, mindfulness is a tool that you can use for the rest of your life and in all realms of your life. It is a wonderful gift to give you.
Newcomers are always welcome. Please feel free to contact me if there are any additional questions.
Calendars to Help in Your Meditation
While our workshop does not have a formal structure, there are certain methods that you can use to strengthen your experience. Use the 20-Breath Self-Nurturing Schedule to help you stay connected to calmness regularly. The Daily Gratitude Schedule can help you to be mindful of the good around you and focus on the positive in your life rather than the negative. It has been show by research that experiencing regular gratitude or acknowledging and appreciating all the good in your life drastically reduces depression and feelings of isolation
Free Day of Mindfulness at International House, Sunday Aril 29th
I often mention Thich Nhat Hahn in our meditation sessions. I wanted to alert you to an opportunity to practice mindfulness with those who have been trained in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hahn. I have attended several overnight retreats at one of his monasteries in New York. His teachings have been heavily incorporated into the Positive Psychology movement. I am alerting you to this opportunity to attend a Day of Mindfulness in Philadelphia to be held at International House on Sunday, 4/29. I have registered and will be attending. This would b e a great opportunity to become centered as you approach exams and papers. I have attached a flyer for the Day of Mindfulness. Here is the link for registration: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/philadelphia-day-of-mindfulness-tickets-43816913568.
A group of monastics and practitioners in the Plum Village (Thich Nhat Hanh) tradition will walk mindfully along the Appalachian Trail from Blue Cliff Monastery in New York to Washington, D.C. Along the way, they will offer Days of Mindfulness in order to connect with and support local communities. They offer us their practice, generating the energies of mindfulness, peace, and wellbeing. They will finish with a peace walk at our nation's capital. Their intention is to enjoy each step with mindfulness and ease, with nowhere to go and nothing to do. Join us for the Philadelphia Day of Mindfulness on April 29th. Practices will include: Mindful breathing, mindful walking, mindful movements, mindful eating, total body relaxation, and a Dharma Talk. What can I bring into the event? Please bring a vegetarian brown bag lunch, a blanket or yoga mat to lie on, your favourite cushion or seat for meditation. If you need a chair please let us know on the registration page.

The other day I was driving through downtown Dover, on my way back to the office. I had the windows down; it was a bright, breezy, beautiful mid-day.
I had the radio on, tuned to a singer/songwriter station on Sirius. I don't recall what was playing, but it was acoustic and melodic.
It was just noon when I came to the intersection of State Street and Loockerman Street, in the heart of Dover. Church bells started ringing to mark the hour. It was a carillon, I think, playing a hymn.
What caught my ear was the fact that for just that moment, the song on the car radio and the music from the church steeple were in harmony and rhythmically in synch.
I love it when that happens. It is a reminder that there's order, if only accidental, in the chaos of life.

This is the second month of this blog's existence and I am definitely learning a lot as I go.
Here are the results for October:
Expenses: $338 Income: $0
Net income for the year: $(627)
I piled more money into the website, mostly out of frustration. $200 went toward updating W2BZ to the WordPress "business" plan. I was trying to add code to the site to be approved for Flex Offer's affiliate links and was frustrated with my progress; so frustrated that I threw $200 at the problem. The money helped, I got it set up, but I learned shortly that the business account is absolutely unnecessary for what I'm trying to do.
I also spent $47.88 on a PicMonkey membership. Same as the WordPress upgrade, this purchase was born of frustration. I wanted to be able to add text labels over pictures without the headache that free apps create. I don't feel bad about this purchase, but I would feel better if I'd had the time and patience to research a bit more.
The rest of the spending ($90.19) was for Facebook ads. After adding affiliate links I launched another campaign of my most "successful" post Hey Where Did 25% of Our Paycheck Go? It went well in that my cost per click dropped to 11 cents for the month, but it failed to generate any affiliate income.
Here are my Facebook ad results for October (according to FB):
For October W2BZ had 842 visitors and 1,036 page views. The views are almost entirely attributable to Facebook ads.
My most popular post in October was Wait, where did 25% of our Paycheck Go?, which was the focus of the Facebook ad campaign. I also spent some advertising dollars on Our Financial Year in Review. I actually tested a small ad spend on all the posts on the list, but these 2 were far and away the ones people responded to the most.
Once again there is a discrepancy in how many referrals Facebook says they provided (756) vs. what WordPress reports (599). Only 1 person found W2BZ through a search engine…
Last but not least: I have 8 Twitter followers, 8 people following the Facebook page, and two people following the blog on WordPress. Thanks guys!
A Renewed Focus
I've plowed too much money into Facebook ads. I definitely got addicted to the gratification of people actually seeing my content. It is a bit disheartening to put time and effort into creating a post only to have it ignored by the world. Gah, why can't everyone just read all the opinions I'm trying to force on them!
Instead of trying to target people I think might enjoy the site, I need to work on making it easier to find for people who would enjoy it. You'll catch more flies with honey or whatever. This basically means I need to increase W2BZ's traffic from search engines and external links. I don't know much about SEO, but I do know that my brand new site with only 17 published posts is not optimized for it. Before I try to get too SEO smart for my own good I need to generate more content!
So that's my renewed focus (yes I'm so over-thinking this that in 40 days my blog with no direction has lost and regained focus :)). I just think the tertiary things surrounding a website, like Facebook ads and google analytics, are sooo interesting it's easy to get caught-up tinkering with that instead of creating interesting and relevant content.
The first hardline measurable goal is thus born for W2BZ: post twice a week. That's it. Look for a new post every Tuesday and Friday.
I mentioned in the September Blog Update that in my wildest dreams I monetize W2BZ and make my living as a writer. My original inclination was to keep everything ad and affiliate-free for a while before deciding if I wanted to go for it, but it occurred to me that I was really selling my dreams short. I mean, this is an anonymous blog! If I can't be honest about my aspirations here what hope do I have?
Affiliate Links
I set up W2BZ with Flex Offers so that I could post affiliate links. I decided that if I was going to make specific recommendations they had to pass a 2 part test: I have to use them and I have to be willing to recommend them to my mom. With that guideline I picked my first two affiliates to promote, Personal Capital and Credit Sesame. I like these to start with because I was already using them and they are free services.
I'll get paid a small amount if anyone signs up for an account through the links and meets other requirements. A person does not have to spend any money for me to receive a paying referral, so I definitely like that.
I've had 55 link clicks and made zero commissions. I honestly think about 52 of those link clicks were from me when I was testing the site.
Google Adsense
I also signed up for an Adsense account at the very end of October and placed ads on W2BZ. I was a little torn by this as I'm not too keen on our culture of ad bombardment. Buuuuut call me a sellout (probably accurate) ads are likely my best chance at monetizing.
I have ideas for some larger personal finance projects that I would turn into products, but they are pretty ambitious. I don't foresee having the time or ability to focus on these in the near future. My ideal vision would be to use W2BZ to promote these grander ideas and thus keep the site clean of outside ads.
Before any of that great perfect world scenario can unfold though I need some small successes to feel emboldened. I can't fairly dream of quitting my job to pursue passion projects until I've made at least 1 cent that didn't come from a paycheck. So with that, enjoy the ads 🙂
The Most Important Metric
I'm having fun doing this. Yes there are some frustrating/worky type things associated with getting the site up, but they are dwarfed by the fun parts. Even though few people read the posts I get a lot of gratification from writing them. In some ways it even feels a little therapeutic. I was in a sour mood for sure when writing about routine, but I really think it helped adjust my attitude and led to a much more positive run of days.
I also enjoy reading other people's websites and seeing what is going on in this personal finance world. Despite my cooling on Facebook ads I do find them incredibly interesting and will likely still dabble in creating a few low-cost campaigns a month. It's just fun, I don't know how else to say it. And this is good, because I don't want another job, I want an outlet. I'm not sure I'm any closer to being zapped, but I'm also not further away, so that's something.

Screen/Society--"Material Desire and Experimental Film" (Curated by Kim Knowles)--Program 2: Inside the Machine
Short Films Program:
Material Desire and Experimental Film -- Program 2: "Inside the Machine"
Curated by Kim Knowles
Material engagement has always been at the forefront of experimental film practice, from Man Ray's rayograms to Stan Brakhage's hand-painted works. Interrogating the celluloid surface opened up new forms of representation that departed from conventional figurative imagery and allowed a more sensuous visual experience to emerge. As Brakhage stated, 'Imagine an eye unruled by manmade laws of perspective.' In our contemporary digitally-dominated world, the physical material of photochemical film takes on a renewed significance, enjoying a renaissance of sorts now that it is freed almost entirely from its association with commercial filmmaking. This specially-curated series of film programmes provides an insight into how material desire manifests in the working methods of a range of contemporary filmmakers and provides historical parallels to contextualise current techniques.
Kim Knowles is an academic and curator based in Bristol, UK. She teaches film studies at Aberystwyth University and has programmed the 'Black Box' experimental strand of the Edinburgh International Film Festival since 2008.
Films to be Screened:
Dresden Dynamo
(Lis Rhodes, 1971, 5 min, UK, Color, 16mm)
This film is the result of experiments with the application of Letraset and Letratone onto clear film. It is essentially about how graphic images create their own sound by extending into that area of film which is 'read' by optical sound equipment. The final print has been achieved through three, seperate, consecutive printings from the original material, on a contact printer. Colour was added, with filters, on the final run. The film creates the illusion of spatial depth from essentially, flat, graphic, raw material.
Abject Noise
(Bea Haut, 2014, 3 min, UK, Color, 16mm)
An investigation of the optical film strip, where light triggers sound; passing objects as noise across and out of the visible frame, and through the unseen strip. The artist, the action, and the consequent sound, all skirt around the edges of the visible film frame. Dissolving the usual boundaries of framing and structure, this is an extended format film, asking the viewer to see what isn't in view and to hear the shape of things.
Barge Dirge
(Lindsay McIntyre, 2010, 7 min, Canada, Color, 16mm)
Built in 1972, The Rothesay Carrier, one of the largest sea-faring vessels of her kind ever constructed, spends one long lonely year trapped by ice in a Canadian Arctic hamlet. Subsequent to the shooting of this footage, she was crushed and melted for scrap. A portrait study of an object explored through the structure of film editing and the structure of the object itself.
Film Stenopeico
(Paolo Gioli, 1974-89, 13 min, Italy, Color, 16mm)
This film, as the Vertovian title indicates, was made without a movie camera, more precisely with a device custom made to restore to images freedom from optics and mechanics. The images enter simultaneously through 150 holes distributed along one side in proximity to each frame, that come to make up 150 tiny pinhole camera obscuras, also called stenopeic. One of the most obvious results will be to find oneself confronted precisely with a movement of the camera that never happened; somewhat magical pneumatic flutterings running longitudinally and transversally along a face and body reconstructed through 150 image points.
Under the Shadow of Marcus Mountain
(Robert Schaller, 2010, 5 min, Canada, Color, 16mm)
The structures of our thought filter what we see, and in fact there is no seeing apart from those structures. This film is part of an ongoing project to show where I am in a (here, natural) landscape in a way that reflects those structures of thought. It is "hypnogogic," not so much perceptually (although to some extent that too) as conceptually. Our eyes see constantly, but what do we actually notice? That vision is excessive, wasteful, even; in paring down, it becomes both more spare and more concentrated.
Orange Trill
(G. Anthony Svatek, 2015, 4 min, USA, Color, Digital)
Technology sees our corporeal existence as burdensome, resulting in the body's dissolution and disconnect from the very ground beneath our feet. Hand-processed 16mm film and the electronic flicker of an old CT computer monitor create degrees of purity, traversed by the dancer's movements. Orange Trill is a cinedance in which the performance challenges the film to match its moves.
At the Academy
(Guy Sherwin, 1974, 4 min, UK, Color, 16mm)
A found-footage film made entirely from Academy leader, which is normally used to cue the start of films. The film was hand-printed on a home-made contact printer. It was rolled back and re-printed several times over, to create a complex layering of both image and sound.
Dream Enclosure
(Sandy Ding, 2014, 19 min, China, Color, Digital)
Wandering in dreamland, a person travels and teleports herself into memory and a mystery landscape. The dream becomes a flickering and looping echo with hovering noise.
Cost: Free and open to the public
Sponsors: The Visiting Artist Series of the Department of Art, Art History & Visual Studies (AAHVS), the Program in the Arts of the Moving Image (AMI), the Master of Fine Arts in Experimental and Documentary Arts (MFA|EDA), and the Office of the Vice Provost for the Arts.

This event features activists Shelley A. Young, Kandi Mosset, Elle Maija Tailfeathers, and Ellen Gabriel who will discuss high-profile media campaigns by indigenous groups in Canada and the United States that protest the oil and fracking industries and the ongoing governmental violations of Tribal sovereignty and treaty rights.
Co-organized by the School of Media Studies and Idle No More in collaboration withFrack Action, a leading New York-based organization working for a statewide ban on fracking as a part of Climate Action Week at The New School.
Participants will include:
Ellen Gabriel (Mohawk) Human rights activist from Kanehsatà:ke, Ellen has spent years fighting for Indigenous rights well-known to the public when she was chosen by the People of the Longhouse and her community of Kanehsatà:ke to be their spokesperson during the 1990 "Oka" Crisis; to protect the Pines from the expansion of a 9 hole golf course in "Oka" and the removal of Kanien'kehá:ka ancestors from their burial ground. She is now a leading voice in fighting the Energy East and Line 9 tar sands pipelines. Kanehsatà:ke territory is right in the path of the proposed Enbridge #Line9 and Trans-Canada Energy East tar sands pipelines and Ellen has emerged as a key voice in the fight to stop tar sands expansion through organizing in solidarity with First Nations in Alberta and the 185 First Nations in the right of way of the controversial project.
Shelley A. Young is a Mi'kmaq leader from Eskasoni First Nation who engaged in a high-profile hunger strike to push Indian Act leadership in Mi'kma'ki to stop negotiating the Treaties with the provincial and federal government by stepping away from tripartite/self-government agreements and to bring awareness that they have been doing so, for the past 10 years, without any consultation with our communities. Shelley has been heavily involved in Elsipogtog and been on the front lines of the anti-fracking fight since the beginning, organizing numerous campaigns, sitting on panels, and conducting workshops at nearly every major university in the East Cfoast, along with high schools, to bring water protection and Aboriginal Rights awareness. Shelley also raised over $20,000 to help the Elsipogtog warriors legal costs and protest camp site.
Elle-Maija Tailfeathers is a Blood and Saami organizer and member of the Blood Indian Tribe in Southern Alberta, Canada. She was part of an Indigenous women-led action to stop two thirds of their lands from being leased to Murphy Oil for fracking, including the drilling of the deepest frack (2.1 km deep) in the history of the sector. She and four other women were arrested and detained for intimidation because of their peaceful non-violent action.
Kandi Mossett (Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara) Native Energy & Climate Campaign Organizer was born in North Dakota and grew up in an area known today as the Fort Berthold Reservation. She obtained her undergraduate degree from the University of North Dakota (UND) in Natural Resource and Park Management. After working in the Park Service for 3 years she went on to earn a Masters of Environmental Management within UND's Earth Systems Science and Policy Program. She began working for the Indigenous Environmental Network as the Tribal Campus Climate Challenge (TCCC) Organizer in February 2007, engaging over 30 tribal colleges and working on projects ranging from initiating recycling programs and community tree plantings to small-scale community solar panel installations and community gardens. Her work has since expanded to the international arena, within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, in an effort to create more awareness about international decision-making and its effect at the local level. Kandi continues to work primarily at the grassroots level bridging generational gaps in tribal communities while connecting the local to the national and the national to the international in an effort to raise aware- ness about sustainability and continue the fight towards just climate and energy solutions. Her current focus is on creating awareness about the environmentally and socially devastating effects of hydraulic fracturing due to severely limited regulations and protections, particularly on Tribal lands.

It´s nice to know that there are people out there actually reading my blog and waiting for the next entry! It gives me more motivation to write.
Today was our (Peace Corps trainees) third Dia de Practica. Courtney and I went to a lower income part of Guarambare called San Miguel to talk with people and learn more about their living situation. First we went to an asentamiento, which is a land that usually one person buys from the government or from a landowner for usually cheap, and then sells or apparently sometimes gives, several lots on the land to lower-income populations. They therefore become squatters on this land that they are given or that they buy with the central Parguayan government promise that the Ministry of Housing will build a house for free on their property. One family has been waiting a year for their house to be built and another family two years. Unfortunately for those with next to nothing, they have to build houses out of bamboo, sticks and plastic bags. Others are lucky enough to have brick.
The Dias de Practica are so frustrating because we are supposed to present a talk or facilitate some sort of awareness building about a need that the community we assess has. Courtney and I first learned about cobblestoning a dirt road, which we could not facilitate or help with b-c the leader of the project only asked us for money, and the second dia de practica we went to the city hall to learn about their department of culture. We hoped to help plan a festival for the beginning of August, but there is still not enough funding for the project.
It is hard to build sufficient relationships with people so that they feel comfortable with us coming to them to present new information or to somehow facilitate a session. We will keep sludging through and I will try to follow Courtney´s lead on enthusiasm. In exchange, I´ll translate into Spanish questions she has and supply her with John Legend tunes she left in the States.
The reason for the dias del practica is to prepare us for what our first few months in site will be like: we will be wandering around town probably looking for and asking about the needs the community has and where we can be of assistance. Unstructured and frustrating, but if you can do it, it says a lot about your initiative, patience and flexibility. When everyone else throws their hands up in the air helplessly, you keep moving forward with the awareness to address issues objectively and sensitively. Easier said than done.
Much love, and for those that sent letters, it made my WEEK! The photos are hanging prominently in my room and I am super proud of how good-looking my family is.

With each day that passes I am getting more and more worried that the Mets aren't going to resign Dickey. At this point my theory is that they are waiting for Dickey to win the Cy Young when his trade value will be at it's absolute highest then move him to another team. Most reports seem to indicate that the Mets will seek 1-2 near major ready prospects for the Dickster.
Frankly this just dosen't make sense to me. I am a big believer that we can never bet on something happening we haven't seen happen before. As a full time knuckeballer R.A. has had three stellar seasons, all well above the typical age in which pitchers regress. Now after his best season yet people are starting to say that 38 is too old and he will now start to regress. The evidence just isn't here to support this. 38 is old for a baseball player but not really all that different than 36 or 37. Knuckleballers typically pitch into their 40's and their is no reason to believe that Dickey wont have 5-6 more productive years and even that his best years may be ahead of him.
I also have to say that at this point I am not all that interested in prospects. Dickey is a major league ace right now and will be for a few more years. The odds we trade him for anyone that will ever put up numbers similar to his is incredibly low.
I just don't know what I will do if the Mets ditch Dickey. He is without a doubt my favorite Met of all time and seeing him another team would be brutal. Let's keep up hope he will be a Met for years to come.

WCRS, Leo Burnett take top prizes in Ocean's digital creative competition
By M4G Bureau - October 12, 2017
MullenLowe London collects three awards including international prize for Dulux
WCRS and Leo Burnett have taken the top prizes in Ocean Outdoor's eighth annual digital creative competition with award-winning concepts for Sky Ocean Rescue and The British Dyslexia Association.
Activist brand Sky Ocean Rescue, set up by media owner Sky, took the commercial prize for The Ocean's Most Terrifying Killer, a campaign created by WCRS which will transform Ocean's screens into underwater seas to illustrate the dangers to marine life of plastic waste.
Created by Leo Burnett, The British Dyslexia Association's campaign uses long uses dynamic long form copy on screens with audience recognition technology to show what it's like to live with dyslexia. The longer people stop and look at the screen, the harder the words are to read. A Moment of Dyslexia took the Charity first prize.
Ocean's international prize went to MullenLowe London for Let's Colour the World for Dulux; and the agency secured both commercial and charity second prizes for Persil and the Art Fund.
Commenting on the winners, Ocean CEO Tim Bleakley said: "The eighth competition has given us record entries and an impressive number of outstanding creative ideas. There are deserved wins for WCRS and Leo Burnett and no less than three awards for MullenLowe London.
"The winners are striking for the power of their visual ideas and innovative use of DOOH technology to achieve business objectives. They've been recognised for their immediacy, impact and relevance to their target audiences. I congratulate the winners and look forward to seeing their concepts brought to life."
Competition was stiff, with a record 131 entries which were judged a panel of 16 advertising industry experts.
The ideas that underpinned the award-winning campaigns were:
Commercial Category
First prize
Sky Ocean Rescue – The Ocean's Most Terrifying Killer
Agency: WCRS
Nowhere is a piece of plastic more prevalent than at shopping centres. On Word Ocean Day, WCRS transformed Ocean screens into deep-sea worlds of menacing shapes casting strange shadows. People could connect to the screen via the free Wi-Fi turning their phone into a virtual torch to see what was casting the shadow. At that point, their torch revealed that the biggest threat to our oceans isn't sharks or sea-monsters, it's plastic. Volunteers handed participants re-suable bags, tackling one of the issues of plastics waste right where is matters.
Second prize
Persil –Get Out Here
Agency:MullenLowe London
To get more children outdoors and active in their local places of play, Persil live streamed footage to Ocean screens from local parks, featuring live data and dynamic copy to show the walking distance to get there. The big idea was to get families out there.
Third prize
Ariel – Look like New
Agency: Leo Burnett
This idea used RFID technology to track items of clothing as shoppers leave a store with their purchase. As they walked towards an Ocean screen, Ariel served them with personalised messages delivered by models, congratulating them on their new garments. The Look Like New message was simple by telling the shopper about the benefits of using Ariel 3in1 pods to keep their new clothes pristine.
Charity Category
First prize
British Dyslexia Association – A Moment of Dyslexia
Agency: Leo Burnett
In a bid to create a more dyslexic-friendly society, this campaign used long form copy on screens fitted with audience recognition technology, the words and letters becoming jumbled and harder to read the longer people stopped and looked at it. The aim was to help non-sufferers understand what it's like to be dyslexic, to drive donations to the charity and raise awareness of Dyslexia Awareness Week.
Second prize
Art Fund – Art for Everyone
Agency: MullenLowe London
To mark Museum Week 2018, people were invited to stand in front of a screen and have their pictures taken. Facial and body recognition technology analysed their expressions and body positions to sort through an Art Fund database to find the work of art that best resembled them. The aim was to make art more accessible and encourage more people to invest in a National Art Pass.
Third prize
NSPCC – Disappearing Children
Agency: mcgarrybowen
This thought-provoking campaign for the NSPCC used Ocean's Westfield London screen to demonstrate the uncomfortable fact that more than 1,200 children went missing in the UK last year and are believed to have been trafficked. The campaign broadcasted a live stream of people walking within the vicinity of the screen, but with all the children literally "disappearing" from the image altogether. A powerful and impactful metaphor to illustrate the prevalence of sexual exploitation and modern slavery.
International Prize
Dulux – Let's Colour the World
Agency: MullenLoweLondon
This bright and happy Dulux campaign used Ocean's international alliance network to invite people to colour the world. In a special live stream linking selected participating cities, people connected to their local screen live via their phone and could literally colour the streets of the international destination in real time.
The winners were announced on October 5 before an audience of 500 guests at London's IMAX. They shared a £650,000 prize pot to fund their campaigns on Ocean's screens in the UK and internationally over the next 12 months.

There is a great post over on the Knot's Las Vegas msg boards about the perils of a DW guest list:
I'm going through something similar in that my Maid of Honor will not be attending, and thus will no longer be my Maid of Honor. It's disappointing and unfortunate but understandable. Not everyone will be able to attend a destination wedding. and our wedding is not necessarily a priority for others. One reason we chose Vegas was because it is typically affordable (FH's favorite wedding topic – affordability. lol!) but our wedding date also causes some issues as it is on a weekday. On the upside, less guests mean a cheaper reception and less money for us to spend!
I hope that guests feel honored that we invited them to our wedding regardless of if they cannot attend. People get so persnickety about weddings and I say lighten up. I'm going to have fun regardless. I'm going to enjoy the day and look forward to a meaningful and blessed life with my FH.

Economic data on Friday were positive.
In the US, third quarter growth was revised up to a 4.1 percent annualised rate from a previous estimate of 3.6 percent. The latest estimate is the strongest growth rate since the last three months of 2011.
In the UK, third quarter growth was confirmed at 0.8 percent but growth in earlier quarters was revised up, resulting in year-on-year growth being raised to 1.9 percent from an earlier estimate of 1.5 percent.
In the euro area, the European Commission's consumer confidence index improved to -13.6 in December from -15.4 in November.
In Germany, consumer confidence hit its highest level in nearly 6-1/2 years. GfK's consumer confidence index for January came in at 7.6, rising from 7.4 the previous month.
And in Japan, the Bank of Japan introduced no fresh measures to stimulate the economy at its monetary policy meeting on Friday, saying that the economy was "recovering moderately" while efforts to stoke inflation were taking hold.
