The pair, Mickey and Kyle, seek revenge against Larry Cobb, a man who sued Mickey almost out of business and stiffed Kyle on a large contracting job. Mickey knows how to get into Larry's safe and recruits Kyle along with a professional safecracker to commit the robbery, which nets far more money than it should as well as some incriminating evidence Larry probably shouldn't have committed to paper. That evidence helps to point the finger at Tibbehah County crimelord Johnny Stagg, who had thought he solved his problems when his hand-picked candidate defeated Quinn in the sheriff's election. But the robbery goes bad, Johnny's partners want assurances Larry's evidence will go bye-bye and Quinn as a private citizen is no less of a pain than he was as a lawman.
Redeemers is the fifth Colson book and allows for some payoff to several storylines that have built over the course of the earlier novels. Atkins maintains his sharp character development and careful plotting, but this fifth book is well under the standard set by earlier ones. Atkins is a southern native and current Mississippi resident, so he has an edge on a lot of writers in offering authentic rural southern flavor. He's employed that well for an air of realism in the Colson books, but for whatever reason in Redeemers he sets his Faulkner to stun and layers the rural color on so thick his readers have to mentally stop and cough every few pages. Nearly every character at one point travels to some rural chain restaurant or independent convenient store with some semi-illiterate cutesy name for a meal that would make the First Lady's eyes roll back into her head as she swooned 'pon the fainting couch. There are daddies, mamas, granddaddies and whatnot every time you turn around, and although I didn't literally count I'd be surprised if the book goes 10 pages without Atkins writing the word "titties." And of course there is a Piggly Wiggly grocery store, which is without fail referred to as "the Piggly Wiggly."
It's hard to say what prompted this spate of terminal Tennessee Willliamsitis; perhaps Atkins saw the praise of the authenticity of earlier books and thought he should double down, or perhaps he was worried that his continuing the Boston-based work of Robert B. Parker's Spenser would cause his kudzu gland to atrophy.
But it's not hard to say what the choice does to Redeemers. It wrecks it, and gives Atkins a lot of ground to make up if there is to be a sixth Quinn Colson novel.
Sowell believes that the root of political differences can be found in ideology -- which is not by itself a new claim to make. His identification of those ideologies, however, is not exactly the same as we often see in fights between conservatives and liberals or progressives. Sowell sees one group as holding what he calls an "unconstrained" view of human intellect and ability, which means that they believe people -- some of them, anyway -- are smart enough to figure out the best answers to all current problems and make them happen. The other group holds a "constrained" view of human intelligence and nature. These people think that attempting to address problems without paying attention to the accumulated wisdom and understanding of preceding generations is a bad idea. Human beings can't know everything and can't necessarily find the perfect solution to any problem, let alone all of them.
Generally, folks who operate with an unconstrained vision of humanity fall into the liberal or progressive camp. Those who hold to a constrained vision will tend to be more conservative. Sowell points out that very few people hold to pure views at either end and are more likely to have a mix of beliefs.
Having laid out his understanding, Sowell then goes on to address a few of the social and political questions usually on our mind in terms of these competing visions. Anyone who reads him regularly knows he holds to the more constrained vision of human capabilities, but he generally does a pretty fair job of explaining both sides. The book tends to drag as Sowell gathers perhaps too many different examples of the two visions, but overall it's a good way to start thinking about our modern political differences and where they come from.
Those who share much of Sowell's thinking can obviously benefit from his discussion of different political and social arguments, but even people who disagree with Sowell about which vision is a more accurate description of the world would be well-served to take some time to explore one way of understanding why they believe what they believe. After all, taking a long-held belief out for a spin and seeing what it may or may not still have under the hood is rarely a bad idea.

Rare Element Resources (AMEX:REE) (TSE:RES) said late Thursday that it has started both separation testing and metallurgical heavy rare earth testing of materials from its Bear Lodge project in Wyoming - in an effort to determine the best methods for extracting rare earths from the property.
company has inked an agreement with the Australian Nuclear Science and
Technology Organization to develop and test a process to produce
separated rare earth products from concentrates derived from ore
material at Bear Lodge.
In addition, Rare Element has also begun
metallurgical testing of drill core samples from the three areas at the
property that were found to contain high-grade heavy rare earth
elements. This heavy rare earth work is being done at Mountain States
R&D International in Vail, Arizona.
"We are very fortunate to have engaged ANSTO and MSRDI for our test work," said chief operating officer, Jaye Pickarts.
both have excellent international reputations in the REE scientific
community. As we continue our research into the processing of the ore
types at Bear Lodge, we are working to determine the most comprehensive
and economic methodology for extraction of the rare earth elements that
our potential customers will want."
For the separation study,
which will be conducted in two phases, the company's strategy is to
begin production of a bulk, mixed rare earth carbonate, and then
progress to the separation of the bulk concentrate into heavy rare earth
elements products using solvent extraction technology.
As the work advances, Rare Element said it could adjust the product suite to add or further separate additional products.
first phase of the study, taking place over the next few months, will
identify whether any further purification processing is required for the
production of a mixed rare earth carbonate. The second phase will
identify solvent extraction processes that will chemically achieve the
desired separated rare earth element products.
Once this is
done, the company plans to continue separation testing for individual
rare earth oxides, the specifications of which will be determined by
customer requirements, it said.
For the heavy rare earths
testing, the company will conduct hydrometallurgical concentration
testwork on 2011 drill core obtained from the Carbon, East Taylor and
Whitetail Ridge areas at Bear Lodge. According to exploration results
from last summer, these areas have been found to contain significantly
higher concentrations of heavy rare earth elements.
The company
said preliminary exploration of these western areas indicate high
grades, greater than 3% rare earth oxide, and substantial quantities of
light rare earth elements, along with some of the highest grades of
heavy rare earths in North American rare earth element deposits.
oxidized-mineralized bodies in these three areas are particularly
enriched in europium, terbium, dysprosium, and gadolinium, with locally
high yttrium.
The test work will focus on creating an upgraded
rare earth element pre-concentrate, using a combination of physical and
chemical processes, followed by further concentration using the process
already developed for the Bull Hill deposit.
Rare earths
elements refer to the lanthanide group of 15 specific elements, plus
scandium and yttrium, used for everything from smartphones to guided
missiles. Some of the major applications include hybrid automobiles,
advanced wind turbines, computer hard drives, metal alloys in steel,
additives in ceramics and glass, and many others.
While some rare earths are relatively common, they are dispersed in a
way that makes it difficult to find deposits with high enough ore
grades to economically exploit.
Due to their unique attributes, new applications are constantly being
developed for rare earths. Demand for the metals is expected to
continue to grow steadily as China, which produces 97 percent of the
world's rare earths, has cut exports by more than half of 2004 levels
to 30,000 tons in 2010.
Rare Element Resources
said Thursday that it has been, and continues, to negotiate with some
"highly recognized companies" for potential off-take partnerships.

Have you ever noticed how the stock market reacts differently to the same reported events? Why is it that we sometimes sell off "in response to rising oil prices," but at other times the "market rallied, despite the rise in the price of crude"? How come a selloff was caused by a suicide bombing in Iraq, but a week later, the markets shrugged off an even larger, deadlier bombing? Is it possible that the markets are responding to forces other than the latest headlines? Short answer: Absolutely. Yes. Longer answer: Keep reading. As we discussed
last week, it's clear that predictions of pontificating pundits have an extremely short shelf life and can be safely ignored. But it's not just the talking heads who can throw you off your game. The value of the entire financial news complex -- both print and electronic -- seems to be hugely misunderstood by investors. Even worse, many investors misapply what they hear; they ignore data, focusing instead on headlines and occasionally, the opinions. There are at least three problems with this approach: First, news is hardly new. The vast majority of it is backward-looking, informing you as to what has happened already. Investing is about what is going to happen; what's occurred in the past may be of interest, but it's hardly germane to the investment process. Indeed, by the time the news is "out," it already has been built into the stock price. Worse yet, old news can have an impact on your thought process. That's why I read The Wall Street Journal on the train home, and not on the way to work. Why? It forces me to recognize that the news is stale, and I avoid allowing it to influence my decision-making process. Instead, it becomes for informational proposes only (Yes, I really do this).

Avoid the Headline of the DayThe news machine needs to create an enormous amount of content to have product to sell. Hours on TV and radio, pages in print and on the Web. Remember, most media are advertising-driven, and it requires all that content to be able to sell all those ads. (That's why jokers like me are on so often). Just think about some of the recent headlines and their impact on both markets and individual stocks. The CEO of a major brokerage firm resigns -- who cares! Martha gets out of jail: Whoop-de-doo! The media focus on the "sensationalistic or scandalous, rather than market-moving," observes Real Money.com trading diarist James "Rev Shark" DePorre. "Stuff like the firing of a CEO, the housing "bubble" or Martha Stewart's latest travails may be interesting, but they don't help you much with your investments." I agree with Shark's contention that the "media are at their best when they focus on emerging market trends." You know, the stuff that has yet to make the magazine covers or major headlines. That may give you a push in the direction of an investable theme. Unfortunately, this sort of coverage is rare and often found in specialty magazines such as Wired, CFO and The Economist. There are exceptions to every rule, and this one is no different. The most valuable thing the media can do for you is to grant you an audience with people you might not have access to otherwise. It's particularly useful to see or read the wisdom from those people who do not need the publicity and have no agenda. They are merely identifying issues that they believe need to be addressed and that often are not. This isn't to suggest that you should blindly follow the star investors: Simply because former General Electric ( GE) chairman Jack Welch or Berkshire Hathaway's ( BRK.A) Warren Buffett say something will happen is no guarantee it's going to come true. When others are opining about what's to come -- even the greats -- you should have a healthy skepticism. Still, I will closely listen to any investment giant who has a spectacular track record over long periods of time, meaning his or her performance is not the result of mere chance.

Day 95/365, a photo by Coffee Colored World on Flickr.
For one reason or another - some good reasons, some terribly sad - I've not felt like blogging much in the past week. I don't have much to say today really but I wanted to post a photo simply because I love pretty pictures and that's what the blog is all about! Sadly this isn't my photograph but I do own the book that is featured in it. It's a lovely book that is full of lovely pictures - I highly recommend it.

no. 034 [my 500th day: looking back...]
I know what you're thinking, "where the hell have you been?!?" Well, it's been a weird couple of months, but I will do my best to explain. But we'll have to do it step by step.
I wrote this blog a while back, and deleted it the following day. I look back on it and really try to comprehend what I was thinking, and how I feel about it now. When you read it please do so with a grain of salt, as all my blogs are a snapshot of how I was feeling when I wrote it. I am not posting this as a measure of revenge, or anything of that nature. I am re-posting this from a writer's standpoint. My life is an open book, and I tore these pages out before any of you could read it, and it's not fair to you. So I put these pages back, not to be spiteful, but to be able to look back and realize where I have come from, what I have accomplished, and what I have learned. Because as horrible as this writing may seem, it has led me to where I am now. And judging by the looks of things, it's not a pretty bad place to be.
Please read this with an open mind. No bad comments please, and read the whole thing before you post anything. Thanks.
Having to tell yourself "I told you so" is an awkward feeling. It evokes so many emotions inside of you. It evokes feelings of disappointment, anger, sadness, guilt, and hurt. The cycle once again has taken its toll on me, and it's no one's fault but my own. The warning signs were there, but I was going too fast to read them. Warnings, hateful, spiteful, or not, were passed off as jealous triads only to have them come back around as useful information that I should have taken into account.
I'm finally fighting off the fleeting flights of fancy, the fantasy world I was living in. The one that took everything we had gone through and made our "relationship" worth it. But a true relationship can't work with only one person. And unfortunately for me, that wonderful world of whimsy had a total population of one.Relationships only work if one of the people involved is willing to fight for it, and the other is willing to help...but I've become so tired, so worn down, so torn that I have lost the will to fight; especially after this last shot to the gut. I thought that this time it was going to be different, but surprise, surprise…here comes the letdown, right on cue. And once again, she's not in my corner...
Someone wise once told me "Maybe you just need your heart broken." And that's exactly what it was. If you keep pushing someone away, eventually you'll push them so far that they won't come back. I've been pushed so many times that this was it. This time I wasn't coming back.So now I pack my bags, with the intention of making the population here on the fleeting flights of fancy drop to zero, and let her take her turn at it. I bet my hand, double or nothing, and the outcome is quite clear, even to a blind man. I bust at 42, when I shot for 21. Confucius said, "to go beyond is as wrong as to fall short." But on the other hand…at least I tried.
One of my best friends said, "You see, that's why I don't do that," referring to the risk I took. "That's why I don't do relationships." "But you have to take that risk, you have to try, or else you've already failed." That's all I could say in response. I guess it goes back to that diving board analogy. You have to jump in to know what the waters like. So I come out soaking wet, disappointed, but not looking back. I took my chances; I had to. If you don't, you end up some old lonely person with a million cats, or worse, dating someone over the internet that's twice your age. That's not something I'm interested in, nor is that the kind of person I want to become, or be with for that matter.With the population down to zero in that fantasy world, I leave with another lesson learned. But this time I will not shed a tear for her; I won't feel a damn thing. The biggest regret I have, other than all the time and energy I've wasted on her, is the fact that by trying my hand at love with her once again, I passed up on an opportunity to something that could have been great; but I trusted too much on the idea that this time it would work.
Maybe I was led on; maybe I wanted to be led on. Maybe it was the idea that it would work, that we could work; that the cycle would finally pass. But one thing is for sure; I'm going to try my hardest to not allow myself to have those ideas ever again. All the block and delete buttons in the world may not stop her from coming back into my life, but I'll be damned if I don't have the will and the strength to keep her from coming back into my heart.
This time I break the cycle before it breaks me, pack my stuff up and move on. All the "I told you so's" won't make a difference on this one, because I saw it coming, but chose to ignore it. I feel no regret, no emotion, nothing, because of the simple fact that deep down inside I knew…I knew that it wasn't going to work. Is it sad to say that after everything we've been through, this secretive love, the ups and downs, and the long nights on the phone; after all the good times and the bad, that I'm not surprised? I think deep down inside I'm hurting, but I can't feel it. I can't feel a thing. I guess that's part of moving on.
"And you'd do well to stay away from her. All she does is talk about how you're pathetic and desperate, while she texts at least three other guys." Advice I should have taken. Lust can sometimes override trust; yet she's so used to not having anything real, that she doesn't know how to act, she doesn't know how to feel. Lies are for the liars, and I don't need a hypocrite. She's more comfortable in that fantasy-land, but I'm not.
Confucius said, "A truly strong person does not need the approval of others any more than a lion needs the approval of sheep." But like I had said to someone earlier, "She is still that insecure little girl desperate for approval of these boys she meets online, toying with their emotions for her own personal gain. She will always be that insecure little girl, until she decides to break that cycle. I'm not letting her drag me down with her, not this time. I'm not going to be one of those boys; I'm not going to let her play with my emotions, and she will never get that approval from me ever again."And so that corner I spent the last few years of my life in is empty, because I have lost the will to fight, I have lost the motivation, and I have lost...just about everything. How can you fight for someone who doesn't even see the hell you are going through, what you are sacrificing for them...but better yet how can you fight for someone who won't appreciate it...and who doesn't even seem to be on your side. So I throw in the towel regrettably, not because I feel as if I'm giving up on her, but because I hate to quit. Besides, it's apparent that she had given up on me a long time ago...
At least now when a survey asks me if there is anyone I cannot live without, I can honestly answer it differently, or at least think of someone else when I do so. Such is life, fucked up and overwhelming…but only if you let it.The funny thing is that the day after I posted this blog I took it down, and got back together with her; a decision that I will partially regret. Because the fact of the matter is, while I contradicted myself, while I said "never again" and it happened, again, so much good has come from so much bad. It's a lesson learned, and well noted. Like I said before, I'm not posting this as a measure of revenge, or anything like that, I re-posted this to build a bridge, to write something meaningful that will lead my "readers" to the end of this "era" if you will.
I post this on my 500th day (Jo will get it). Today I move on, because someone gave me the strength to. In the next few months I will post a lot of writings that I did during that "depression period," at least that's what I'm calling it. While what was written may seem hateful, it has a new perspective, a new definition. I looked back at all my blogs and realized that not all of them stood the test of time. Most I don't really care for, believe in, or even have the slightest idea what I was writing about. They are meant to be a snapshot of what I was thinking, feeling, and meant to express. I won't delete any of them, because that's a promise I made to myself. So by re-posting this I don't mean any harm or hate. We are on civil terms, and we have both moved on. So take my writing with a grain of salt, and don't post anything hateful, that's not the point of this blog. Hopefully you learn something from my mistakes, if not I hope that it at least makes you think as you go on this journey we so dubiously call life.

no. 033 [my own words, the knife...]
"Losing Sleep (Acoustic)" by Charlotte Sometimes
I woke up this morning thinking one thing, "boy, did last night suck." I had called it a few days before, how I could be riding so high, just to be cut down and hit rock bottom in a matter of a single sentence. What's worse is, they were my own words that helped cut me down. The one with the sharpest tongue slits their own throat, right? The exact moment that line was delivered I couldn't believe that I had actually said it, and there it was, in black and white, in my sent box, word for word. I hate how a single sentence could mean something different to another person…or worse, how it can mean something different to a third person.
Reading it over and over, I didn't know what I meant by it. My head was saying it didn't mean that much, but my heart was saying it meant something much more. Again, the two would argue in a fight that no one would win, but that my stomach would feel. I don't know if it was the gut-wrenching blow from what was thrown back at me, or the insanely large can of Monster Energy Drink that I had downed in less than two minutes, but my stomach was definitely in a pain that I hadn't felt in quite some time.I laid in bed last night, not being able to go to sleep, thinking about a lot. But the one thing that kept resurfacing was the idea, the thought that I knew eventually it would lead to this. I guess it was just an issue of when it would actually happen. But even though I knew somehow that this was coming, there was no way I could prepare for it. The various text messages and failed call attempts would not put out the fire that was igniting that bridge.
The more I thought about it the more confused I became. What did I mean with those six words. What message did I intend to convey. Should there have been a "but" at the end of it? Was it not implied? Or did I subconsciously not want to imply that? Did I actually, and truly mean what I said, despite everything that has happened? I'm not even sure I know the answers to those questions. But one thing is for sure; you have to find what works for you.
Bottom line, I couldn't keep losing sleep over this, as harsh as that sounds. But I know I wasn't the only one. The human mind is tricky, but the heart is worse. You can't help what the heart wants, but can you really try by tricking your mind out of it? I think it's what we keep telling ourselves that ultimately helps us get to sleep. We can't fight all of our demons all at once, so we trick ourselves into believing that it's not that bad. You can tell yourself that it's not that bad and that you'll be okay, trick yourself into believing that you can manage all of this work and get it all done before it's due, you can lie to yourself and push someone away because you don't want to get hurt in the end, you can call them out, or you can sit up, staring at the ceiling, contemplating what you really meant, and knowing that you will eventually have to make one of the hardest decisions you've ever made.
When it all comes down to it, it's whatever helps you sleep at night. But remember, when you awake the next day you're still you, it's no magical fix, unfortunately that was no dream, and your problems will still be there in the morning. But hopefully you're rested enough to deal with them. As for me, I'm up early because I couldn't sleep. The pain in my stomach would not allow it. So now I wait, staring at the ceiling, wondering, "what the hell am I going to do now?…"

no. 032 [candy hearts...]
"Candy Hearts" by Tofer Brown
Valentine's Day is such a cliché' day. I heard earlier today that it's just another chance for a guy to totally fuck up. As noted in my very first one of these, I'm not a big fan of today, however, as today comes to an end I can honestly look back and say that it wasn't so bad.
It's a given that being single today kinda sucks, but oh well. I've survived so far, so I think I can make it another hour and a half to finish it off.
I found an old writing about Valentine's Day that I did not post, for various reasons, which I had written exactly one year ago today. It was pretty harsh, and insanely irrelevant to how I'm feeling now, and could be misconstrued and have certain parts substituted with something, or someone else. Hence why I am refusing to post it right now, and am currently rewriting this blog so that it has some relevance, and a point that's a little more cheery than "I don't think I ever liked her". Haha, that was last year's message. Nice huh?
It's funny how much a year has made me re-think this "holiday". I still have a stigma about it due to what has happened in the past, but I know I'll move on eventually. I'm making progress. Hey, spending it with some good friends sure beats the hell out sitting alone complaining about it; or forcing yourself to act a certain way for someone you don't even really care about; or being heartbroken, because you know exactly what today should have been (sorry buddy).
So what, I didn't have a quote, "Valentine" for today. I still had fun. I made dinner for some friends, laughed about how we have a stuffed dog in my loft, yeah, watched Scrubs almost immediately after having a discussion about Rowdy, and just plain having fun. I took it as just another day. I think that's the best advice I can give all of you who are taking the alternative and celebrating S.A.D. (Single Awareness Day) instead of the traditional Valentine's Day (and no, I didn't just make up that S.A.D. thing).
While we're on the whole "sad" note, I still think it's a little sad that we chose to celebrate love one day a year. Do I think Valentine's Day is still a Hallmark Holiday? Eh, to a certain degree I guess I still do, but I do think it's nice to have. Sometimes cliché' is a good thing…I think.
I think the point I'm trying to make is that things could be a lot worse, and I have absolutely nothing to complain about. Given that today started off really crappy, I was still able to make the day ok as a whole. I guess today's lesson for me is "it's better to be alone, than trying to make the wrong girl right." Sucks, I know, but I'm ok with it…I think.
So yet another Valentine's Day has come and gone, and this time it didn't leave a bitter taste in my mouth. Actually, I think I may still be tasting those heart-shaped rice crispy treats my mom made, haha! But I digress, it could have been a lot worse. Even though it didn't go the way I would have liked it to, it was still fun. And it sure beats the hell out of staying at home alone.

no. 031 [my brand new day...]
"Brand New Day" by Joshua Radin
It's been a tough year. Although I've kept to myself for most of it, I feel as if I've grown a lot. I've had a lot to think about over the past 366 days, haha. I know it's been a while. I had this whole thing planned out. I knew exactly what I wanted to write about, and when I wanted to post it; I had a time-line for everything. I had gone through this strenuous planning, writing down, picking the songs, picking the morals, pretty much pre-writing the entire 3rd collection of my blogs, just to end up throwing them out at the last second. If you know me well enough, you know I'm no good at planning anything out. I read them, and I just didn't like them. They became too static. I think I let them sit around for too long. Most of them had a good message, but they were too much like my older posts, vague.
If I learned anything from reading my older posts, it's that I was way too vague when it came to what I was really talking about. There are a few people that could pick certain things out, and knew exactly what I was talking about, but the rest were left to use their imagination, or to put themselves in a situation that they had experienced. I don't know, I liked that idea, but it just seemed so rehashed to the point that I wanted crumble up all the sheets of paper that I had written these down on and possibly miss each shot as I tossed them to the trash can in my loft. They seemed a little more "Grey's Anatomy" for my taste (God, I hate that show).
As much as I'm going to try to switch up my style, and make my writings a bit more personal, the more I know they're just going to end up sounding like the end of an episode of Scrubs (I love that show).
But I digress; with a year of experience under my belt you'd think I'd have a lot to write about, right? Wrong. I have absolutely no idea what I'm getting myself into with this next series, but I don't care. I like this change of pace. It's exciting. After all the crap that I've been through this past year, it's just nice to have my outlet back. So with this new series I want to take it day by day. It's a brand new day, each one with a different story to tell. So I'll make my past my past, even though I may end up writing about it sooner or later (shameless plug: look out for the lost blogs, coming soon, haha!), but we'll see how this little experiment goes.
While I know I must keep what has happened in the back of my mind, I also must try my hardest to move forward. I think I've been doing a good job of that for the most part. I think it's been hard for a lot of us. Some of us have gotten married, had a child, moved out, moved on, are preparing to start a new part of your life, or are just getting ready to finish up that new part of our life; a lot of us have been moving forward. I guess the best advice for any of us is to take it one day at a time. Each day is a new beginning, a new journey, and a new story. For me, today marks the beginning of a whole new series of stories that are yet to be discovered, and are yet to be told. And even though I don't have a time-line, I have no idea what I'm going to write about, or even if I'm going to have something to write about, it doesn't bother me. It doesn't bother me because I plan on taking it one day at a time. Whatever is supposed to happen will happen. I have to keep telling myself that. It sure makes it a hell of a lot easier to take life one day at a time…

India is endowed with vast mineral deposits, including coal, iron ore, bauxite, manganese, copper, lead, zinc, and limestone. The country's mining industry has great potential and provides basic raw materials to various industries, including steel and power. India had 308.8 Billion tonnes (Bnt) of coal resources comprised of proved, indicated, and inferred resources of 138.1Bnt, 139.1Bnt, and 31.6Bnt, respectively, as of March 2016.

I was all ready to get up and go to school this morning. I turned my body to one side to get something and IT happened. The whole world went spinning. Ok, I thought I would kust wait it out a bit, and hope the spinning would stop. It did slow down, so I got up, prepared breakfast for my son and I started having this urge to puke. Nothing came out but the world started spinning again. Got my son to wake up and all I could do after that was sit down with my head between my hands. It was too much so I lay down on the couch. The spinning got real bad so I thought I'd send and sms to Ms Tanner who is my passenger, so that her mum would drive her. Then sent another to a colleague to ask her to tell the admin that I would probabl be absent. Unfortunately, with the whole planet spinning uncontrolably, I sent the sms to Ms Tanner .... !!! Didn't know it until about after 9am.
Went to a clinic when I could finally get up and gained some confidence to drive. Took my mum along, in case. Doc says that the symptoms all indicate stress. And my blood pressure had shot up. Sigh. Okay, so what could I do? Went home, ate a bit, took my medicine and went to sleep, after making a few important calls. And slept I did, until 3pm. I tried to get up and ..... it started all over again, The spinning .... and then the vomiting. It was terrible. By 4pm I felt better and went down to show my face. Ate a bit of bread since I was starving. Obviously the medicine was taking effect because the spinning had stopped althought I still felt like I had a head made of lead. Managed to get a few things done and finally really got MUCH better. I was just worried about the Cheer clinic and casting. Still don't know how they went.
WELL tomorrow, I WILL go to school. Must finish up some work before I go on the CNY break. Hopefully my students will understand that my body is still weak and I might not do much teaching proper. Still feeling a bit blur. So good night all. Time to sleep, again ... if I can fall asleep after all the snooze I got today.

Canada - Halifax
Halifax is a city of beauty, tradition and charm.
Sent by Stephanie from Nova Scotia, Canada.
This is from Wikipedia : Halifax is a city in Canada, which was the capital of the province of Nova Scotia and shire town of Halifax County. It and was the largest city in Atlantic Canada until it was amalgamated into Halifax Regional Municipality in 1996. It is no longer an incorporated city and is a community of Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM).
The Town of Halifax was founded by British government under the direction of the Board of Trade and Plantations under the command of Governor Edward Cornwallis in 1749. The founding of Halifax marked the beginning of Father Le Loutre's War, in which Halifax was raided several times by the Mi'kmaq.
Halifax was founded below a glacial drumlin that would later be named Citadel Hill. The outpost was named in honour of George Montague-Dunk, 2nd Earl of Halifax, who was the President of the British Board of Trade. Halifax was ideal for a military base, with the vast Halifax Harbour, among the largest natural harbours in the world, which could be well protected with batteries at McNab's Island, the North West Arm, Point Pleasant, George's Island and York Redoubt. In its early years, Citadel Hill was used as a command and observation post, before changes in artillery which could range out into the harbour.
After a protracted struggle between residents and the Governor, the City of Halifax was incorporated in 1841. On April 1, 1996, the government of Nova Scotia dissolved the City of Halifax, and amalgamated the four municipalities within Halifax County and formed Halifax Regional Municipality, a single-tier regional government covering that whole area.
Today the area of the former City of Halifax is now referred to as an unincorporated "provincial metropolitan area" by the provincial government's place name website and the area is referred to as "Halifax, Nova Scotia" for civic addressing and as a placename.
The area is now administered as two separate community planning areas by the regional government for development, Halifax Peninsula and Mainland Halifax. It forms a significant part of the Halifax urban area. Residents of the former city are referred to as "Haligonians".

Question about GE Nautilus 24" Built-in Dishwasher
Posted by robbie_gray on
Thanks for your input. The model # is GSD3610F00AA.
This problem is part of a recall that GE issued on 16 May 2007.
Over several years, normal use of liquid rinse aid in some models
results in a concentration of rinse aid on the wires inside the
dishwasher door. In the affected models, the rinse aid can degrade the
insulation on the wiring inside the door, which can cause an electrical
short, overheating or fire if the wire comes in contact with the metal
door. You should stop using these dishwashers immediately until you
obtain more information.
If you have never used liquid rinse aid, and are the
original owner of the dishwasher, you will not have this potential
problem. To prevent the use of liquid rinse aid in the future, GE
recommends attaching the rinse aid dispenser cap offered through the recall.
you do use liquid rinse aid or if you are uncertain if liquid rinse aid
was used in the dishwasher because you are not the original owner,
repair of the dishwasher is required.
If you wish to replace
your dishwasher with a new model, GE and Kenmore are offering rebates.
You can use the rebate of $150 for a GE® or Kenmore® dishwasher, or
$300 for the purchase of a new GE Profile™ or GE Monogram® dishwasher
depending on the brand of your recalled dishwasher. Kenmore cannot be
replaced with GE or vice versa. You will need to mail in the rebate
form along with the model tag off your current dishwasher and the
receipt showing the purchase of the new dishwasher prior to receiving
the rebate.
GE has received 135 reports of overheated wiring
and 56 reports of property damage, including 12 reports of fires that
escaped the dishwasher. Fire damage was limited to the dishwasher or
the adjacent area. No injuries have been reported.
If you
have one of the recalled dishwashers and want more information, or wish
to arrange a free service call, please call the Recall Hotline.
Recall Hotline
Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. ET.
Saturday, 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. ET.
Before calling, have the model and serial number on hand.
recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission, who will also monitor the effectiveness of the
recall program.

Bakam Waterfall Trekking Adventures
Who would think there's a hidden treasure not far from the city and the place that Im referring to is right smack in the interior of Bakam forest. I'm not someone good/expert in giving the exact direction/location but with Google Search feature, you can click here for the exact geographical location of Kampong Bakam.
But behold, I do not have the geographical location on the waterfall. I rather not share it for the sake of nature preservation (bet you hate me for this).
I was told that there is a 3 tiers waterfall in Miri and it was located at Bakam area. What makes it more interesting is that I was informed by a MNS (Malaysia Nature Society) member. Like I mentioned here, being a curious cat, I decided to join the MNS Miri branch group to trek the waterfall hence the waterfall trekking adventures begins.
I extended the trekking adventures invitation to my friends and there were 5 of us joining the MNS group. We departed our home at 6am (coz we were car pooling) and reached our meeting point with the MNS group around 7am. From there, we drove approximately half an hour to Kampung Bakam.
The waterfall trekking adventure was later joined by the Belia Bakam and they were the one who lead us to the hidden waterfall. We met at the kampong badminton hall and from there, we car pool on 4wd vehicles due to the nature of the existing road condition. We drove deep inside the forest for approximately half an hour albeit the slippery and muddy road condition due to the rain the night before. Our driver is one damn skillful driver; there are moments where I thought we would get stuck deep in the mud but with the expert driving skills and also with the little 'push' from a turbo engine (I underestimate the look of the 4wd vehicle at first), it was a smooth journey all the way.
Once we reached the end of the road (from here, one has to go by foot), we gathered and was briefed by John (MNS member) on the do's and don't throughout the trekking journey. Along the way, I was bit taken back as some of the area has been cleared to give way for palm oil plantation (bet the burning contributes to the recent haze, damn it!).
To me, the jungle trekking adventures begins here when I get to walk inside the forest. At times, we walked across clear streams, walked along tree branches, crawl under fallen big trees, going up and down small hills. The smell of the forest, the ground, the streams, the moss, looking at the sunray penetrating the trees brings back memories of my childhood adventures at my maternal grandparent's kampong. I miss swimming in a clear water of river/stream, I miss staying overnight in the forest during durian season, I miss fishing by the river, I miss casting fish net, I miss finding wild mushroom under the forest trees and the list goes on. With the Baram Dam issue going on lately, I don't think the newer generation gets to experience my childhood experiences.
The trekking journey took us approximately 40 minutes to reach the 3 tiers waterfall. From a distance, I could hear the waterfalls. Once, I get to feast my eyes on it, it was an orgasmic moment. I kid you not!
I hope the 3 tiers waterfall will become one of Miri tourist attraction spot in the near future but at the same time too, I am also hoping the relevant authority do take the necessary measurement of conservation on the surrounding forest. To me, spending of such adventures for merely 5 hours of your weekend/hectic schedules is worth it. Going back to the nature made me feel grounded in a way. 🙂
So, dear readers, have you been here?
Or have you been to any sort of jungle trekking adventures before? If yes, do share it with me.
Note: some of the photos are not mine hence credits goes to Stephen and Terry. 🙂

Glad you can make it for this hike. It was my first hike to this waterfall too. Heck! love the stream crossings. I wore the wrong type of shoe. My shoe was heavy once soaked. Should have used the rubber type! Good thing…no leeches.

Char Koay Teow (炒粿条)
Penang is well known for it's nice, yummy, delicious and mouth watering hawker food, especially Char Koay Teow and Penang Assam Laksa :) I think no one will disagree with me regarding this matter ;)
I just get to know that Char Koay Teow is available in Perth, Australia as well when I read Cynthia's posting yesterday night :) And not only Char Koay Teow, there's lotsa other Chinese food available as well, including Curry Mee and Assam Laksa. I'm amazed :D
Nowadays, most of us "Live to Eat", and not "Eat to Live" as the olden days phrase :P

Penang original style Char Koay Teow has lap cheong la!!!! The lap cheong gives out a very sweet subtle flavor to it. I love it!!
Just a food for thought: If you eat Char Koay Teow in Penang, they don't use black soy sauce (kecap manis). They just use normal soy sauce. The Penang-style Char Koay Teow in Ipoh uses kecap manis. So, it's a little darker.

End of financial year reflection
Published 23rd June 2017 by Debbie Davis
With the end of financial year now upon us, I encourage you to take some time away from your desk to self-reflect.
Whether you do this yourself, or with your manager just make sure you do it! Self-awareness is so important – don't just cruise aimlessly on autopilot through life.
In sport, coaches and players conduct post-match reviews after every game. What went well, what didn't, where do they need to improve or adapt their training to prepare accordingly to beat the competition and achieve their goals.
For those of us that drive, we don't drive by constantly looking in our revision mirror as we need to look forward, however we need to regularly check it to make sure we are on track.
So, whether you are Andy Murray or Lionel Messi and number one in sport or not, we all need to make sure we're are evolving, reviewing and innovating in order to stay in the game.
Whilst there are many points you may choose to reflect on, here's a list to get you started.
- What did you set out to achieve this year?
- Did you achieve this? What went well? What didn't go to plan?
- What do you want to achieve during the year ahead?
- What do you need to do differently to achieve this?
- Where do you get your fulfilment from work and outside of work?
- Do you make time to do activities you enjoy outside of work regularly for balance?
- What motivates you? Has this changed?
- What does success look like to you, and what changes do you need to make to achieve this?
- How are your competitors adapting in the market? Are you getting left behind?
- Have you stopped to think if you are focused on the right things at work, or are you just busy without a plan?
- Where would you benefit from additional training or professional development?
- What support do you need from your manager or the wider business?
- What behaviours or habits do you need to change?
- When was the last time you put your hand up for a project?
Don't forget to review and set some non-work related goals as well.
If you've had an amazing year, reward yourself and keep doing the things that make you successful, but check for blind spots. For the year ahead set yourself some stretch goals along the way to push you and reward yourself when you achieve them.
What do you want to be known for in FY2018?
Don't allow yourself to become complacent, step outside your comfort zone. What is the one thing that you need to change or adapt that will have the biggest impact on your career? What is it?
Don't leave it 12 months before you next self-reflect, continually check on your progress throughout the year.
Wishing you all a bumper FY2018!
Debbie Davis is the General Manager for Corporate (NSW) at Davidson.

Why Ryan Bennett Photography?
As a professional photographer and musician, I have travelled all over the world from Trinidad to Paris to Madagascar. My unusual path has included a wide array of experiences and opportunities, all of which I bring to the table.
I have an easy-going, personable style that puts people at ease in front of the camera, allowing their unique essence and experiences to be captured and shared with family, friends, and the world.
I love to collaborate with couples to get a feel for your personal style and photographic preferences. For each wedding or big life event, I join the planning process early on, helping you structure the day for ideal photographic opportunities. It's important to me to keep your big day as relaxed and fun as possible!
"My husband and I chose to have a very small destination wedding in Paris. We really wanted our photography to not just provide beautiful memories, but also to be the visual story of our wedding weekend to our friends and family at home who couldn't journey to France. Ryan has a great eye for finding locations, moments to capture and made suggestions while also remaining amenable to any requests we had. Working with him was effortless and really enjoyable; a true artistic professional!" -Molly R.
"Ryan and Jo Ann did an excellent job with our wedding photos, and they beautifully captured the mood of our special day. They were also very professional and equally friendly. We happily recommend them for your photography needs!" - Laura P.
"Ryan and his wife Jo Ann made such a good team taking photos! A few days before wedding, we took photos in iconic places in the downtown Kansas City area. This is where I got my first taste of just how amazing my wedding pictures were going to be! They made us feel so comfortable and our poses felt natural. He was so calm and professional, and that really helped me on my big day. He captured beautiful memories for us to remember one of the best days of our lives!" -Kristin B.
"You were such an amazing photographer! You went above and beyond on our wedding day!" -Heather C.
"Thank you so much for taking the beautiful pictures at our wedding. Your patience and talent will forever be remembered. Thanks for being a part of our special day." -Mandy E.
"Thank you so much for capturing our wedding day, and making it such a memorable gift to us. We appreciate your talents, time, and professionalism. Thanks again for all of your hard work!" -Annie S.

*This post includes adult language.
My boss recommended the book, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck by Mark Manson.ª
I've been giving too many fucks. And thus, nothing has gotten done.
Today's post is dedicated to page 160 of the book: The "Do Something Principle."
Action > Inspiration > Motivation.
The hardest part is getting to the gym.
The hardest part is getting to the page. But then once you're
there here, you might as well do a couple crunches write a couple paragraphs.
So here I am! Full disclosure: the reason I am here is because last week I made a commitment to writing every Thursday. I couldn't let myself down the second week in—even if I am tired and seemingly uninspired. I am here, on the page. Because only by being here (consistently) will anything get done.
Fuck. Writing a book is hard.
Not if you are Caitlin Jenner or Ivanka Trump. Let's assume for a second they actually did their own writing. Bitches with no day jobs have the luxury of a daily routine focused around writing. Ok, second's up. They more likely had a team of writers and editors helping to organize and transcribe 300 pages worth of personal anecdotes and life lessons.
Me? I'm a team of one with a full-time job that absorbs hours of productivity.
But even if I manage to write this book (it's called Let Me Out I'm Stuck), who is going to read it? And more important [to publishers], who is going to buy it?
I'm not a former Olympian, now transgender "activist" for the LGTB community with a permanent residence on reality TV because my stepdaughters excel at selfies (both action and still). And my father isn't Donald Trump.
I exist on social media to know when people's birthdays are and to post my resume (for my corporate jobs). I rarely participate in the new feeds' conversation. Of all the fucks I give each day, I definitely don't give any fucks to posting pictures of my food before I eat it or pictures of me where I know I look so cute just to have people tell me how cute I look. I'm not even on Instagram or Twitter.
Right now, I don't come with a platform of millions, or even thousands. If each of my Facebook "friends" and LinkedIn connections bought my book, I'd sell about 1,000 copies.
And that is fucking terrifying. It is terrifying to the point of paralysis.
But a ridiculous, terrifying dream does not imply an impossible one, only one that I will have to work hard to achieve.
So here goes nothing! Good thing I have this accountability blog.
Hypothetical readers, are you still there?
ªMark Manson propelled his career with a blog. He now has over two million readers and a published book.

Ready to Head South
Summer is on a plane for the border and Ol' Man Winter is starting to unpack.
Just in time, I finished my brickwork on Saturday and yesterday I filled in several joints with mortar along both the porch and walkway. That was something of a challenge with the occasional wind gusts. Also yesterday I drained the hose. This was not on my list from Friday but sure should have been. And since we made it through the season using just one hose and not two like normal, it was a much easier job. The mother helped me raise it up and down, snaking any water in the middle toward an exit at either end, and then helped keep it straightened out while I rolled it onto the hosewinder.
I also got up a few pieces of bric-a-brac the mother wanted up on the back of the house as well as a new thing for the shed.
In between, I managed to snap a few pictures of my brick handiwork. It isn't pretty, but it's done.
And I also grabbed a shot of Ladybird who, almost a week later during which she got rained on more than once, still seems to be holding her shine.

Though I haven't had time to comment, I did get all caught up reading your blog! Back to regular life now for me.
As for the weather, I know someone who would love a winter visit. When you get tired of the cold let me know! :)

I can't believe this is the same car that hauled gravel, wood, fencing and all of your other assorted supplies. The car looks beautiful. I bet she's excited that it's winter. She can retire for the winter and the Ladybird can become a snowbird!

The story of John Peter Zenger who fought British rule in the American colonies and printed materials against England's King George. This case is important to American historians and champions of the First Amendment because it represented a strong repudiation of British libel law and also marked an important fissure in the relationship between the American colonies and the mother country.

Today was better & we even went to the Dusit Zoo for an outing. Trit really seemed to enjoy the animals & Tenley was thrilled by a mini kid's roller coaster. There have been long bouts of crying today too, but thankfully not the 3 & 4 hours ones like the previous days.

Hang in there - you're so right that the only way to get through it is day by day. You'll see more smiles by the day. It's great that you were able to get to the zoo for a fun outing.

I'm so sorry it has been a difficult time. I'm praying that God will surround Trit's little heart with comfort, and your heart as well as well.

Sissy was the same way in VN when she was 2. She cried, would play out of sight of us alone whenever she could, and didn't want to touched. She would lunge for ANY Vietnamese person ANYWHERE. They found it funny but it really broke our hearts. It was a relief to know that she could form attachments though, she just had to switch to us.
It took about 5 weeks for her to start coming around (2 weeks after we returned home) but soon she was laughing and running and being silly. It just took her time.
Good luck guys. I know how hard it can be. You'll reach the other side soon. Let me know if I can help at all.
