Larapinta Trail - West MacDonnell National Park
Hiking and walking
This 223‑kilometre Larapinta Trail runs along the backbone of the West MacDonnell Ranges, from the old Telegraph Station just north of Alice Springs to Mount Sonder in the west. It is divided into 12 sections, with many walkers choosing to do just one or a few sections at a time (the entire trail takes about two weeks). Sections featuring some classic West MacDonnells scenery include the three-day walk from Simpsons Gap to Standley Chasm across ridges and into a gorge, and the 16‑kilometre-return journey to 1380-metre Mount Sonder, where the views extend to Haasts Bluff.

How to peel a fruit
Step by step recipe:
- 2 min.You will need the following utensils:
- A chopping board
- A good knife
- 3 min.Split the skin vertically into 4 quarters of similar size.
- 2 min.Pull off the quarters of skin. With them you can make delicious candied peel.
- 2 min.If necessary, trim any remaining white pith from top and bottom.
- 1 min.Put the fruit in front of you, remove the white pith by cutting in vertical strips all round the fruit.
- 2 min.Complete the operation by trimming off any remaining bits of pith. It's easier if you turn fruit upside down at this stage.
- 7 min.You should get a "clean" fruit. It is now "pelé à vif", but you need to separate the segments of flesh.
- 1 min.For the first segment, choose a large one and cut from the outside towards the centre, following the left-hand membrane (transparent skin).
- 2 min.Then do the same thing with the right-hand membrane.
- 1 min.And so separate the first segment.
- 1 min.For all the other segments, start again with the left-hand membrane, and cut from outside to centre.
- 1 min.Now comes the critical moment, when the blade of your knife reaches the centre: turn it gently half a turn (exacty as if you were turning a key to lock a door), and continue cutting, this time back from the centre towards the outside.
- 1 min.You will notice that there is only a little to cut, because the turn pratically detaches the segment.
- 1 min.Then remove the segment... You might need to finish by removing a few pips or pieces of membrane.
- 5 min.Do this for all segments.
- Have a look at this short video, to see how to peel a grapefruit...
- ...and in this one, a kiwi.
Remarks:This operation is rather long, but what a result! If you make a fruit salad like this you will be surprised (so will your guests) by the sweetness of your dessert (no hint of bitterness from the pith).
I suggest that you work over a strainer on a bowl, or use a chopping board with a small reservoir to keep the fruit juice that runs out. Similarly, squeeze all unused parts of the fruit before discarding them.

Associated Press
COLUMBIA, SC (AP) - Bullets seized at the home of a man accused in the disappearance of a Columbia teen can be used against him on a separate federal charge.
A federal judge ruled Wednesday that a warrant used to search the home of Freddie Grant was valid.
Grant is charged with kidnapping 15-year-old Gabbiee Swainson, who is still missing. Authorities say Grant took the teen Aug. 18.
Grant is a convicted felon and is not allowed to have the bullets found at his home.
The ammunition was found as authorities searched his home for evidence in the teen's disappearance.
Attorney John Delgado had argued that authorities did not give all relevant evidence to the judge who authorized the search warrant.
Grant's trial on the federal charge is set for next month.

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society Research Summary
As we age, our ability to drive may help us live independently, shop for ourselves, and maintain social connections. Although car crash rates are low among older adults and are declining, older adults do still have higher rates of fatal crashes. Falls, which are a common and preventable cause of injury among older adults, may lower our ability to drive safely.
Experts believe that falls are related to driving in four ways:
- They can cause physical injury that limits mobility (our ability to move) and interferes with driving performance.
- Falling can increase the fear of falling, which leads to a reduction in physical activity. Reduced physical activity can weaken our physical strength, which also could reduce fitness for driving.
- Falls can affect an older adult's mental well-being, making them more fearful and leading to changes in driving behaviors.
- Falls and difficulty driving may be caused by common factors, such as vision problems.
A research team created a study to see whether falls were related to driving risks and behaviors among older adults. Their study was published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. Continue reading

Amy was such a delight to photograph! I've had the wonderful opportunity of knowing, and working with this beautiful, sweet young lady. She has big goals, and plans for her future such as hopefully attending college in Wilmington, NC with one of her best friends. For her shoot we wanted to showcase her bright, and fun personality so I took her to this charming little garden that is hidden behind a building called, "The Blue House Art Gallery". From there we hopped in my car, and headed downtown to finish the rest of her session. I may or may not have found some white, fluffy flowers that I couldn't pass up!
Be sure you leave some love for Amy, and I hope you enjoy these images as much as I do.

Album Description
Capoeira Angola, formerly a regional Brazilian form of self-defense and dance, has its roots in African traditions and is becoming popular in urban centers around the world, growing into a widely taught art form and philosophy. This call-and-response singing is accompanied by compelling rhythms played on berimbau and percussion instruments that express and control the performance of the Capoeira fight/dance. The musicians and singers featured on these 39 tracks are among the finest modern performers of Capoeira Angola music. "A good introduction to this highly passionate and expressive artform." ?Cultural Survival Quarterly Capoeira Angola, una forma regional de autodefensa y danza del Brasil cuyas raíces se erigen sobre tradiciones africanas, ha alcanzado una gran popularidad en diversos centros urbanos alrededor del mundo, evolucionando en una forma artística y filosófica ampliamente cultivada. Los ritmos tocados en el berimbau y los instrumentos de percusión expresan y controlan la práctica de la Capoeira, al mismo tiempo que acompañan el diálogo cantado entre el solista y un grupo. Los intérpretes presentados en estos 39 cortes se cuentan entre los más finos exponentes de la Capoiera Angola. "Una buena introducción a esta forma artística fuertemente apasionada y expresiva." ?Cultural Survival Quarterly

CD Reviews
A must-have for practitioners of Capoeira Angola.
Daniel Lee | Chicago, Illinois | 10/13/1999
(4 out of 5 stars)
"This disc has many songs that you would hear in a roda, from the ladainha to the chula to the corridos. Definitely a must-have for capoeira Angola students who are trying to learn the words and pronunciations in Portuguese."
What an excellent CD!
Charles T. Rhys | Maryland, U.S.A | 11/16/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I had this CD reccommended to me by my Capoeira Angola instructor, and boy was he right. I own a lot of Capoeira CDs (mostly Regional music), and this is one of the best.
Frankly I was suprised to find that the CD contains some 39 tracks!!! The best of which are definitely the live tracks (I don't usualy care for live music recordings, but the sound quality of these is excellent, and really conveys the energy of the roda.
I had previously neglected to mention that the CD liner book contains a history of the art of capoeira as well as all of the song lyrics, and their translations (in english!)... That alone is worth the purchase, and makes this CD an extremely useful resource for anyone trying to learn the songs for classess (think text book).
Good stuff, a must own for anyone interested in Capoeira Angola."
Great Beginner's CD
Charles T. Rhys | 09/17/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This was the first Capoeira CD that I bought. It has excellent liner notes that give a good background of Capoeira. However, what I found most helpful are the lyrics to the songs that are also printed in the liner notes, along with translations in English. It has helped me learn a lot of the songs our group uses."

Solid structure full bodied wine with backbone supported by the cab. Good fruit flavors but too peppery for my wife.

I'm generally a fan of Tempranillo, finding that while relatively light-bodied they deliver on flavor. This Tempranillo was a bigger mouthful than most. While flavorful and full of character it went well with tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and grated romano over pasta. A great choice for spicy or ethnic foods, where one might often choose a zin.

This wine introduced me to the lovely varietal that is Tempranillo! I have tasted many a Tempranillo since, but I keep coming back to this sassy little libation. Being lovers of spicy foods, my fiance and I can pair this wine with many a spicy dish, making a match made in heaven. Its earthy, smoky, and smooth. Love, love LOVE this wine!

Bruins get a few extra days for recovery
In the rust vs. rest debate that always rages this time of year, the Boston Bruins will accept a bit of rust to get some much-needed rest.
Boston finished off its second-round series on Friday night, completing a stunningly efficient sweep of the Philadelphia Flyers with a 5-1 victory.
But revenge against the Flyers for last season's historic comeback -- Philadelphia erased a 3-0 series lead and a 3-0 Boston lead in Game 7 to advance -- came at a pretty stiff price for the Bruins.
Defenseman Adam McQuaid injured his neck in Game 2 when he crashed awkwardly into the end boards. More importantly, second-line center Patrice Bergeron suffered an injury later diagnosed as a mild concussion in Game 4.
Clearly, those players will take all the time available to get healthy for the third round against Tampa Bay, which advanced with its own four-game sweep of Washington, completed Thursday night. Boston also has older players -- forward Mark Recchi and goalie Tim Thomas -- and players logging a ton of minutes -- like defenseman Zdeno Chara and Dennis Seidenberg, both of whom are averaging more than 28 minutes a game -- who will be happy for some downtime.
It appears McQuaid will be healthy for the start of the series, which will likely start sometime late this week.
"McQuaid should be back for the start of the series," Boston coach Claude Julien said during a Sunday press conference. "Things are looking really good for him."
Things are not looking quite as bright for Bergeron, who has a history of concussions.
Bergeron suffered his injury in the opening minutes of third period after absorbing a heavy hit from Claude Giroux. Bergeron was able to skate off the ice without aid, but he did not return to the game. The Bruins have no idea when Bergeron could return to the lineup.
"You guys know he's got a mild concussion, so I don't think there's much of a change here," Julien said Sunday. "I don't know that every day is going to be (an update on) what's going on with him.
"We hopefully plan on updating you as we see progress here."
After taking Saturday and Sunday off, the Bruins started preparing for Tampa Bay with a Monday morning practice.
In that practice, rookie Tyler Sequin was inserted into the lineup, playing on the third line with center Rich Peverley and Michael Ryder. Chris Kelly, the other forward on that line, moved into Bergeron's spot on the second line.
McQuaid also practiced, as did youngster Steve Kampfer, who is returning from a knee injury suffered late in the year with Providence of the American Hockey League.

Capt. Lynch takes helmet to retirement
Good retirement parties are part family reunion and part roast where cousins rat-out the "soon to be departed." And that's the way it was Thursday evening at the Lewisburg Recreation Center's meeting hall.
Lewisburg Fire Capt. William Lynch, however, was forced to tell on himself even though he'd already spilled the beans to the newspaper, which not only caught the mess, but raked in Lynch's later remarks that mollified the mess.
He fell off a fire truck.
To better understand the story, perhaps one should know that Capt. Lynch was born and raised in Unionville, also known as Doolittle. He graduated from the Community School in 1969 and became a full-time, paid firefighter for Lewisburg on Aug. 16, 1971. Fire Chief Leonard Adams was also the police chief at the time and he asked the basic question: Why do you want to be a fireman?
"I said, 'I don't know. I've never been close to a fire truck before, but I need a job and I'm willing to try,'" Lynch said Thursday. "Larry Baxter is the one who called me about the job."
Chief Adams apparently saw something in the young man who was willing to work, but didn't have a burning desire to eat smoke. Zealots are known to go too far, but Lynch grew to be a respected firefighter and leader.
"He and Baxter had a way to bring you into the department," said Toby Adams, who's served nearly three years in the LFD. There was no hazing. "They'd tell you of when the schedule was 24 hours on and 24 hours off, and how hard that was on the family and the wives raising the kids... Plus, in a small department [there was a time] they'd call you to fires on the [land-line house] telephone."
Baxter retired recently with many years of service and sound advice for firefighters: Don't wear your wedding ring.
"I don't wear it," Lynch said, substantiating Baxter's tale from his retirement party. "Larry Baxter had his finger pulled off [in an accident when the ring got caught on a piece of equipment.] I told my wife to take it and melt it down" for a pendant.
Evonne and William Lynch have a son, Kevin, and a daughter, Margaret, and three grandchildren ages 8, 10 and 14.
"I plan to spend more time with them," Lynch said of what he'll be doing in retirement.
The public's awareness of fire safety is among many changes Lynch has seen during his four decades of service. Technology is another. Nevertheless, dangerous work remains a fact of life for firefighters.
While fighting a fire on Belfast Avenue one day, Lynch was, as he puts it, "on top of the ceiling. The roof had burned off and the ceiling gave way and I fell to the first floor, about eight feet. I didn't get injured bad."
He suffered scraped ribs.
Another time he fell off a fire truck. It wasn't racing around a corner. It wasn't even on a fire call.
And this is the tale his buddies rib him about.
Lynch and other firefighters had been distributing something for a civic project. The grass was wet and so the soles of his shoes were wet, thereby posing the risk of slippage, which happened and he fell. He was off work for three weeks.
While telling the story -- without mentioning wet grass -- Lynch was interrupted.
"Did he tell you what his first job was?" Another firefighter insisted that Lynch's first job was "feeding and bedding the horses" that pull fire wagons. So, in someone's fantasy it was that long ago when Lynch entered this public service profession that's as old as municipalities.
Big fires fought during Lynch's 40 years include those at: the vacant Red Cedar Pencil Mill that was being torn down in the mid-1970s when it covered the entire block at Ewing and Second over to First Avenue; the Ace Bayou fire several years ago in what had been the Borden plant; and a big feed mill on Spring Place Road where flames licked the sky in the 1970s.
Then there was the child who died in an apartment fire in the 1970s "and a guy who passed in a fire behind Maple Grove apartments probably 5-6 years ago."
Fire reports must now be typed and increased computerization of record keeping is something Lynch has left to the younger firefighters, he said. Another big change during his time: "Not near as many people heat with wood," Lynch said.
Baxter's retirement is at his 30th anniversary. "I won't be 60 until September," he said. He'll have Social Security in a couple of years, but recent changes in the city's defined benefit plan to a pension system will provide him monthly income.
"We got that about a year ago," he said.
Retirements leave a void, but as Lynch leaves, Clint Williams, 21, of East Berkley Circle, has become a full-time, paid firefighter. He's not related to Chief Larry Williams, but his father, Gene, is a retired city firefighter. So, Clint Williams grew up "living around it," and started at the Mooresville Fire Department when he was 18. Thursday was his first paid day at the job.
Lynch received a number of retirement gifts, but he leaves the fire hall with what he's always had, many friends, despite their attempts to roast a captain.

i am kind of new to this and i am sure i am putting this in the wrong place, but i just have to write about this!!!
not to long ago someone commented about fly rod warrantees, and i had something to say about it because at that time i had an unresolved issue with thomas and thomas. alas i have only the highest praise for thomas and thomas rod makers, they stand behind thier products even further than they had to.
about 3 years ago i sent my SL TRAVELER 8 wt back to the company because of broken parts, at first this issue was mishandled, i am not sure why but it was not taken seriously, anyway after an extended wait i was informed that my rod was not under warrantee and that the best offer they would do was give me a 40% discount on a new one. i was not very happy with this conclusion but i did not know what to do about it. after the comment i read on this site came out someone told me that i may have a legal issue because they never returned my rod. so, i contacted t&t again and this time i dealt with a manager, who was very courteous and professional he handled the matter very professionaly and lokked into the matter, we talked about the warrantee, which he said covered all the rods after 1988, i purchased my rod in 1996 so i wanted to know why my rod was not covered? apparently my rod had an extremely long shelf life, how many years the dealer had it who knows, anyway i am happy to say that today i recieved a package UPS from T&T containing a brand newHE100s-4 rod, very beautiful, this time T&T went out of thier way to please me, and i am sure that they went further than they had to, in my opinion T&T is a very honorable company, not only courteous and professional, but also compassionette...thax again T&T bobbyneuman

well, I would benchmark it against LAPACK, but I don't have the time, but if you want, you can do the benchmark and show me that I'm wrong :)
As a matter of fact, I would like to see some benchmarks myself, who knows, maybe I'm completely wrong(I saw most of the PDL code is C code and the Perl is just calling that).
the main problem is if people would use Perl+PDL for scientific/financial computing, but if they decide they won't use it, it doesn't matter if it's fast or slow. I think it is slower than LAPACK which doesn't necessarily make it very slow, just slower than LAPACK ..

A vacation is a time to rest, relax, and stop worrying about all of the things you have to do around the house on a day-to-day basis. However, its hard to relax if you spend the whole vacation worrying about your home.
Home intruders prey on people who are clearly away from their home. Its much easier to plan a break-in from a house you know is empty for an extended period of time than trying to figure out when someone wont be home.
There are a number of ways to improve your home security to ensure your home and belongings are safe while youre on vacation. In this article, well provide you with a list so that you can relax and enjoy your time away from home.
Being friendly with the neighbors has a lot of benefits. You can borrow their tools or ask for a hand moving something. When you go on vacation, ask your neighbors to bring in your mail for you. An overflowing mailbox is a clear sign that youre away from home.
Make sure your neighbor has your cell phone number so they call you if anything seems out of place--like if they notice a strange vehicle in your driveway.
If you have a relative in the area, maybe a niece or nephew, ask them to stay at your home while youre away. If they live with mom and dad, theyll probably be thrilled at the chance to have their own place for the weekend.
As an added bonus, theyll be able to feed your pets, water your lawn, and take out the trash for you while youre away.
Most people these days have grown comfortable posting their whereabouts on social media. However, doing so when youre away is an easy way to tip off would-be burglars that your house might be empty for a week or more.
You can find dozens of security cameras for under $60 on Amazon. When asked, 60% of burglars said the presence of a security system made them decide to move on to another home.
Complement this with a sticker that says you have a security system in place. It could be the one-dollar sticker that makes a would-be burglar decide to leave your house without breaking in.
Many people leave spare keys in obvious places because its easy to describe to people who might need to get in. However, if its easy for welcome guests to find its also easy for unwelcome guests.
When making your to-do list for vacation, be sure to include double checking the locks on your doors, windows, and garage. Almost 30% of burglaries occur when someone enters through an unlocked door or window.
This also applies to any vehicles that you might be leaving in your driveway during your vacation. Remove valuables from the vehicle and place them inside your home in a safe place.

Brees and Manning and league MVP Tom Brady were among the players who have filed an antitrust lawsuit against the NFL to prevent a lockout. Just after the players' union decertified Friday March 11, 2011, the players filed suit against the NFL in U.S. District Court, seeking class-action against the league. They also filed a request for an injunction that would keep the NFL and the teams from engaging in a lockout.

Sony's next Playstation console will support resolutions up to 4K, according to a report on BGR.
4K refers to a horizontal pixel count of 4096, as compared with the vertical-count designations that have been standard in the digital television industry, making it close to double the resolution of 1080p.
The report follows Sony's announced 4K XBR LED television line in sizes up to 80 inches, and this could be the start of an industry-wide push for 4K (sort of like the last couple years' 3D craze).
This won't necessarily make the new Playstation prohibitively expensive: sony already sells 4K compatible Blu-ray players for around $200. But if you reach the PS4's optimal visual output, you'll have to pick up a 4K set, which according to rumors could set you back up to $30,000 if you decide you're desperate for Sony's 80-incher.

A sleepy village in a remote breathtaking location predominantly inhabited by a colorful mix of Hui Muslims and Amdo Tibetans. It is said that the provincial borderline runs through the middle of town with Sertri Gompa in Gansu and Kirti Gompa located in Sichuan. The power struggles between the two Gompa may have been the reason for the border location. Both temples have distinct styles making both well worth the visit alone. The surrounding mountains give off a very much alpine flair reminiscent of rural Austria or Bavaria and perfect for hiking and horsetrekking.

It is an alpine lake at an elevation of 2,685 metres and is the highest lake in the Yunnan Province. The lake is surrounded by mountains and has five islands, four peninsulas, fourteen bays and seventeen beaches.

Members of the first international geriatric tour visit projects to help elderly Bedouin men and women in Israel. Melabev founder Leah Abramowitz is second from right.The small guard dog at the Beit Shirley residential and daycare facility in Dimona alerts staff when one of its older residents falls. This is just one of many innovations that excited participants in the first International Geriatric Study Tour held recently in Israel.
"I learned at Beit Shirley about treating a person as a whole in a stimulating and beautifully designed environment," says Karen Alexander, director of Eldercare Services in the United Jewish Communities of Metrowest New Jersey. "It is a pleasant place to spend time. It makes me think of improving the nursing facilities in my community."
The tour was presented by the American Society on Aging (ASA), the largest organization of multidisciplinary professionals in the field of aging, which partnered with Melabev, an award-winning Jerusalem non-profit care agency for elderly people with Alzheimer's disease. The program included three days of site visits to eldercare facilities, along with presentations by renowned lecturers.
"On my last trip with Melabev I was amazed by the energy and enthusiasm of the volunteers and professionals in Israel in this field," ASA's Amy Eisenstein tells ISRAEL21c. "I thought of bringing the innovations to the attention of other professionals to enable them to think outside the box."
The tour was modeled after similar study tours offered to Israeli gerontology professionals and para professionals by the Geriatric Institute directed by Leah Abramowitz. The Geriatric Institute offers courses, workshops and site tours of facilities. Abramowitz thought of offering professionals from abroad a similar opportunity to learn about Israel's quality services.
"We're going on our expertise," explains tour organizer Rakel Berenbaum of Melabev's Resource Center. "In Israel's compact area, its multicultural population has different approaches and frameworks for the elderly. While similar facilities may exist in the United States, they're spread out in a much larger area. For the itinerary we looked for places that offer quality care with innovations that participants can learn from."
The tour focused on agencies and programs as well as facilities and medical centers in Jerusalem and the Negev. Lecturers addressed such issues as a historical survey of Israeli geriatric care, the latest in Alzheimer's care, and how different ethnic groups care for their elderly. Participants, hailing from the US, Australia, South Africa, the Ukraine and Israel, observed the various care approaches to Ethiopian, Russian and American immigrants, and the Druze and Bedouin.
"The baby parade for the older adults at the Melabev day center in Beit Shemesh was impressive, bringing joy and energy to the elderly," Alexander says. This day center is Melabev's newest for older adults with Alzheimer and other dementia-related illnesses.
Melabev, a Hebrew acronym also meaning "heart-warming", operates eight other day centers throughout Jerusalem. Abramowitz was a geriatric social worker at the Shaare Zedek Medical Center when she founded Melabev with Prof. Arnold Rosin in 1981 in order to provide services for discharged patients with dementia, when services were inadequate for this population.
Melabev's efforts ease the burden on families, enabling them to keep their elderly relatives in the warmth of the family home and in the familiar community for longer than might happen otherwise. By forestalling or preventing institutionalization, Melabev's services are cost-effective for society at large.
Melabev centers provide a therapeutic and social framework which enhances the quality of life for those afflicted with Alzheimer's disease or similar disorders. Family members continue their daily activities, knowing their relatives receive excellent care in a supportive environment while enjoying activities like physiotherapy, occupational therapy, art, music, dance therapies, and cooking.
Melabev also runs memory clubs for those suffering from mild memory loss, a memory assessment clinic, and home care. Its counseling and support groups for family and caregivers are offered in a few languages for the city's immigrant populations. Savyon, an innovative computer program developed at Melabev, helps activate patients and stimulate cognitive functions.
Melabev's multi-faceted services are backed up by a devoted cadre of volunteers including retirees and healthy older adults who want to assist those less fortunate.
Volunteerism in Israel is a major ingredient in many thriving social enterprises. During the tour, the group visited Jerusalem's Yad Sarah House, headquarters of Israel's largest voluntary organization with 6,000 volunteers in 103 branches throughout the country.
Yad Sarah provides a range of free or nominal cost services designed to make life easier for sick, disabled and elderly people and their families, thus saving money for the government. "The volunteer guide at Yad Sarah had such a sense of pride in her volunteer work that I was wondering what we can do to inspire our volunteers to have such a sense of pride," says Alexander.
"We had an outstanding taste of many aspects of care for older adults," notes Paul Bennett, project director of the System's Change Grant at the University of Illinois at Chicago. His research focuses on changing the system of services to older adults from nursing homes to home and community-based programs.
"In recent years the trend throughout the United States is towards nursing home diversion in order to save federal funds. It would be ideal if older adults in nursing homes could reenter and reestablish themselves in the community. At home the older adult doesn't need services around the clock, but rather intermittent services," he adds.
Bennett was particularly interested in a presentation by JDC-ESHEL, a non-profit organization founded and supported by the Israeli government and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, which strives to improve the status of the elderly in Israel through planning and developing new and innovative services
The organization has about 200 supportive communities that enable the elderly to remain in their own homes among friends and familiar surroundings as long as possible, even when they become frail, by delivering necessary services to their homes. "These communities have an av kehilla [community father] similar to a case manager. The av kehilla is almost like a son whom the older adults can turn to," says Bennett.
In the US, the Natural Occurring Retirement Community (NORC) refers to a cohort of people with similar needs staying together, and so services can be coordinated. This is a growing trend among Jewish communities. Often these are places where community residents have either aged together and lived in their homes over several decades, or are the result of significant migrations of older adults into the same neighborhoods, where they intend to spend the rest of their lives.
"By participating in the tour and seeing many programs and ideas, I'm kept motivated," notes ASA's Eisenstein. Plans are already underway for a new study tour to the north next year.

Almost two and a half years ago, I stumbled across a brand new baking group getting ready to bake its way through The Sweet Melissa Baking Book by Melissa Murphy. I had just gotten that very cookbook for Christmas and thought, "Why not?!" And while I haven't baked every recipe, I've enjoyed every minute of my time with Sweet Melissa Sundays, and found some amazing recipes along the way. Here are my Sweet Melissa Sundays Top 10…plus a few extras because I couldn't make up my mind!

Mystery Blogger M's 2013 theme: "My A to Z theme is fencing and swordplay, focusing mainly on fencing terminology, but with a few favorite movie fencing moments thrown into the mix too."
I'd never heard of this term before. Have you?
Tyrean Martinson!ReplyDelete
Good morning. What a surprise to find you here first today.Delete
Alex is so right. I was battering my brain trying to remember her last name. Her theme was rare enough for me to remember.ReplyDelete
It was unusual. I loved reading the posts.Delete
I haven't heard the term at all. I learned something todayReplyDelete
Love it when that happens.Delete
Tyrean! I was so impressed by her theme. I would kill myself and probably someone else if I ever tried to do any of the techniques she wrote about LOL.ReplyDelete
Had to learn something about sword play once. It wasn't easy.Delete
Okay, so yes, I remember this being Tyrean Martinson because I know so little about fencing that I was astounded that the A to Z challenge could be completed just on this form of swordplay.
Yes, I know, I totally admit my ignorance and the shame that goes along with it ::-)
You're not alone. I was wondering what the X and Z were going to be. Very interesting.Delete
i remember reading the posts, but couldn't think of Tyrean until i saw the comments above - i always forget how athletic and extreme she is! she does it all! amazing! love your highlights!ReplyDelete
Fencing is hard work!Delete
Fencing is such a cool sport. I'd love to learn more about it some day.ReplyDelete
I guess everyone knew about this when swords were the weapons of choice. Those and clubs. :-(Delete
This is Tyrean Martinson!ReplyDelete
You are amazing. Have you guessed every one of these bloggers?Delete
A-to-Zers have picked some interesting topics.
That's what makes this so much fun!Delete
I think my wrists would give out fast! They hurt just watching the video but I love swords, especially the big Claymores...and the Scottish hunks who wield them. ;)ReplyDelete
Yes to those Scottish hunks. Let them wield the swords while we watch, heh?Delete
Hi Lee - I obviously need to go back to Tyrean's 2013 posts and learn all about Fencing and Swordplay .. if you'd asked me re Moulinet - I'd have said cookery term .. how wrong can I be! Cheers HilaryReplyDelete
Only wrong in this context!Delete
Ooooh I remember this one! I remember this one!!! Tyrean :DReplyDelete
You have a great memory, too!Delete
I should know it, but I don't, and I'm not going to cheat and read everyone else's guesses, but I'm totally into the whole swords play and terms.
True Heroes from A to Z
Another honest person. I swear it has to be the cheese.Delete
Tyrean Martinson. I had a friend in college who enjoyed fencing. Tyrean reminds me of her.ReplyDelete
It's a challenging sport.Delete
I'll go along with everyone else's guess. My daughter wants to take fencing lessons. Looks fun...ReplyDelete
That would be fun watching your daughter learn this sport.Delete
I love watching fencing in movies. It looks almost like dance. I will stick with the crowdReplyDelete
It is so graceful when it's done well.Delete
Righty ho, superstar celebrity author, Lee,
Much to my sooprise, sooprise!.... the ninja dude arrived and left the answer that may be the answer to the question that you ask.
Perhaps I should just stare at the screen until your "N" pops up. Still probably wont be able to comment before the ninja Admiral or whatever you call him.
Speaking of fencing, before I make "Épée" of myself, I shall get the heck outta' here.....
Your always starstruckest fan,
Your swash and buckle is always appreciated here, so stay and stare. Please. I think I should offer a prize to anyone who beats Alex to my blog.Delete
*taps fingers*.....desperately waiting for "N".............................................................................................................................Delete
Fencing looks like something fun to watch, but not to do. Too dangerous for this wimp. :-)

This one, too. Although, I did give a go once.Delete
I always wanted to take a fencing class. Interesting choice for a theme.ReplyDelete
I've forgotten the X post or the Z. I should go back and see what she did for those.Delete
What an interesting subject for the challenge, but I have no idea who it is! :-(ReplyDelete
I thought it was an interesting subject, too. I learned a lot about it.Delete
I remember visiting those posts, and boy did Tyrean teach me a lot about fencing. This year, I'm learning about Martial Arts. Figured turn around is fair play. Your turn to guess, Lee :)
OK, then! Let the guessing begin!Delete
What a cool theme you have for your A to Z Challenge! Also, I am so impressed how many people knew the answer about whose blog it was. Either they have amazing memories or great googlefu :)ReplyDelete
I'm stumped and I'm reading others comments. LOL I won't cheat! I didn't know...ReplyDelete
Moulinet is a brand new word to me. I like it though, although in my mind I am certain I am mispronouncing it. Hmmmm.
I have never had any desire to learn fencing, though I always thought it quite a romantic sport. :-)
Thank you for stretching my mind in places it never thought to go before!

I have never heard of this term, so I am thinking I missed this A-Z post last year. I am stumped. :)
Interesting. I know nothing about fencing. Enjoyed learning about it though. :)ReplyDelete
Growing up, I knew an actual Junior National Fencing champion. And what does he do today? He's a "life coach." Oh how the mighty have fallen. And if you're out of hints, I'm out of guesses...ReplyDelete
Oh, Lexa. You tickle that bone in my that's funny.Delete
It always looks like it might be fun but I've never in my life tried it nor do I know anything about it.ReplyDelete
I took fencing in college. Loved it. Always wanted to be a Musketeer.ReplyDelete
I think you are a Musketeer! No. I know you are.Delete
Interesting theme for the challenge.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Sunday! Appreciate your visit.Delete
Nice to know about fencing and yeah followed you.ReplyDelete
Noticed, Choki! Thanks. I love your blog. The images are beautiful.Delete
I don't know about the blogger, but swords are fascinating.ReplyDelete
Swords always get my attention!Delete
That particular theme would deter anyone from breaking into Tyrean's Writing Spot:)

You are so right about that!Delete
Did I do the Challenge last year? I vaguely remember this theme but I couldn't have told you who did it. Then we have Alex to tell us.

I think you did. The only person I'm sure of is me. I did it. I remember the mid-point, slumped over my keyboard.Delete

The Happy Threads of Divine Providence
October 29, 2012 1 Comment
Today's blog is personal. I hope you will indulge me while I explain a certain happy providence that has brought a smile to my face here recently.
Sixty-one years ago this month (October, 1951) my dad, then age 22, preached a week of special meetings in a small town in northern Wisconsin. The church was newly being pastored by my dad's best friend since high school, George Cable. Dad and George were ordained by Dr. B. Myron Cedarholm there in that church just a month previously (September), the weekend before my dad and mom were married. If you know me well you've likely heard me remark that my dad's ministry was one that was unusually effective and blessed, and it was so from the very beginning. Several people came to Christ that week. One man in particular was named Dwight Duncan, a successful farmer in the area who, invited to come to those meetings, came to Christ and then raised his family for Christ, became a pillar in the church there, serving as a deacon I think until his death in the late 1990s, and remained a good friend of the Zaspel family. I recall staying at his farm as a boy in the mid 1960s. He was a bit older than my parents, and he became close with my dad's parents also, etc. The Duncans were dear family friends. My last memory of Dwight Duncan was shortly before he died — I was home visiting my parents when Dwight phoned dad just to thank him for coming to Camp Douglas, Wisconsin, to preach the gospel so long ago.
Okay, you get the picture. There has long been a real soft spot in Zaspel hearts for Dwight Duncan and family, even though as the years have progressed the contact has been increasingly slim.
Fast forward to Lansdale, PA, 2012. The students at Calvary Baptist Seminary are required to seek out a professor for personal mentoring — anything and everything from theology to marriage to spiritual life, etc. When carried out conscientiously, at least, it's a wonderful program. At my first meeting with a student here recently, over lunch, just to get better acquainted, I asked him where he was from. When he told me Wisconsin, I asked where. He replied, "Oh, a small town you've never heard of. Camp Douglas." "Yeah," I said, I think I know something about Camp Douglas." As I began to mention my connections he of course was surprised, to say the least. Then I asked him if he happened to know the Duncan family. You can imagine my delight as he told me that Dwight Duncan was his great-grandfather. So of course now his grandmother (Dwight's daughter) and my mother are enjoying the connection also, etc. Looking back on our lunch I feel a bit guilty — there wasn't much "mentoring" going on, but there was a lot of tracing out our family connections!
So, sixty-one years ago this month a man came to Christ through my dad's preaching ministry. Now that man's great-grandson is one of my students. I hope you understand the smile that I've been wearing here lately!
I suspect that one of the joys of heaven will be the tracing of the many happy threads of divine providence.

3.5/4 stars
A mid-life crisis is presented in full glory - that just happens to take place on a wild, Greek island. If you are appalled by casual nudity, best avoid this, as a good portion of the film takes place on nude beaches. The life of Kostis (Makis Papadimitriou) is quite sad - you feel sorry for him, until he turns into a monster. No matter what, youth and beauty will not last forever and while there's nothing inherently wrong with trying to re-capture that spirit, taking it too far does have consequences.
