I finally did it. I got my tattoo. I've always thought it would be cool to get one but never knew what to get. Todd and I decided for our 35th birthdays last year that we would each get one. Todd got his last July. Here's the picture of his. I should have gotten mine in December but for various reasons, time got away. So I finally got it done yesterday! I wanted a four leaf clover for various reasons....good luck, being part Irish, and green being my favorite color. My favorite part though is having Todd,Drew,Noah,& Aiden's initials on there. THEY are my good luck and the best gifts in my life and I smile everytime I look down at my "little work of art". I know my mom is probably cringing right now. Sorry mom. Remember when you got upset that Nate got his ear pierced when he started college?? I said it wasn't a big deal, you could always take it out and it would go back to normal. I said it wasn't like he got a tattoo or something. Wait...... that isn't helping my case at all! :) I love it and I'm happy as a clam so that's all that matters. This guy is so funny. You should see some of the signs in his shop. This was the card I got that explained how to take care of my tattoo. Make sure you read #7 and #9. When Todd got his done, he asked why those two were on there. He said he does it to fuck with the college students. (the shop is located right across the street from the university). I think that is hysterical.

My Belated 35th Birthday Present
I finally did it. I got my tattoo. I've always thought it would be cool to get one but never knew what to get. Todd and I decided for our 35th birthdays last year that we would each get one.

Flashback Friday
I've been excited all week to do Flashback Friday today. We were at my parents last Friday and was looking through old pictures so I brought an album home to scan a bunch in. These are all pictures of me from when I was 4 and 5 years old and they all have a special meaning to me. Bear with me, some of these stories will get long. I know my family will appreciate all of these pictures.....to the rest of my dear friends, I hope I don't bore you too much.
This first picture is me with my Grandma Bozarth and my baby brother Matt. My Grandma passed away when I was in the second grade so unfortunately I don't have a whole lot of memories of her. But the ones I do have are great and I have grown up listening to many many stories about her. She gave birth to 9 children....that alone is an amazing feat to me! I don't have many pictures of her so this one is special.
I love the way she is looking at Matt in this one. I don't know if he's trying to fly away or what! :)
Ok, now I get made fun of for this all the time. This was taken when I was 4 years old, sitting on the wall by Niagara Falls. You can see by the look on my face that I was NOT happy about this. I swear to this day, this is why I'm scared of heights and don't care for water. I was so scared I would fall over. My parents insist there was no way I could fall and that there was about 3 feet of ground behind that wall even. I'm not buying it! :)
I also get made fun of when I cut desserts to pass out. Apparently my portion sizes are too small for my piggy family. I think it all stemmed back from this memory. I had one of those little cake mixes and made this cake for my dad. Can you even see the cake I'm holding and the microscopic piece he is holding??? I was so damn proud of that cake.
These next two pictures also mean a lot to me. This is my Grandpa Bozarth and me. He was confined to a bed all the years I knew him. He passed away when I was in 7th grade so I do have more memories of him. Unfortunately I was too young to appreciate him at the time, but now I can look back and love him and appreciate him all the more. He got out of bed to come help me blow out my birthday candles and share a birthday kiss.
This is me proudly holding my new baby brother Matt. I remember mom being pregnant with him and I was so excited. I had my heart set on a baby brother so luckily it worked out in our favor!! Back then, kids couldn't come up on the maternity floor so I remember my dad taking me to the hospital and holding my up on his shoulders and we waved to mom and Matt standing in the hospital window. I also love this picture becuase I'm having a really cute hair day. Sue me.
This has always been one of my favorite pictures of me and Matt. I am a little modest so I drew in a cute bikini top to cover my tiny
I hope you enjoyed Flashback Friday as much as I did. I can't wait to get another album from my mom and dad's house and take another trip down memory lane. Have a great weekend everyone. It's actually going to be hot and beautiful here for the first time this year. Woohoo~~

Up, Up and Away...........
After supper last night, Drew and I decided to take a bike ride. As we took off into the neighborhood, we saw a hot air balloon in the sky. We rode around for awhile watching it and as it came closer to our house, we rode back home to get our camera. This is a picture Drew took from our front porch.
It started heading over towards the mall and we thought maybe it would land over there, so we rode our bikes over that way. It didn't end up landing there, but Drew was able to catch it in his hand for a little while. It got a little heavy though.....
It was a fun adventure for us. I don't know where it ended up landing. We gave up and went home to watch the American Idol finale.

Two Wheelin'
Noah is just full of accomplishments this week. He's been wanting to ride his bike without training wheels for some time but just didn't have the courage to do it. He would even have them off but just wouldn't let Daddy let go of him when he rode. Maybe it was because he finally got brave enough to swim under water or maybe he's just growing up, but today he took a leap. He rode his bike without training wheels!! And he did it like a pro. I was so proud of him. When he got off of his bike, I just scooped him up and hugged him tight. Still caught up in the excitement, he even went over to the playground and did the monkey bars all by himself, without anyone standing by in case he fell. I'm so proud of his accomplishments this past week but even more than that, I'm so proud of him for facing the things that scare him......and coming out of them with confidence and a smile. That is a lesson I could definitely learn from him.

My Little Fish
Last night the 5 of us went swimming at the Y. Todd usually takes the boys every Monday after school while I'm still at work. Noah was anxious to show off his new "skills" to me so we decided to all go swimming last night. All three boys have always loved the water. Noah had one problem though, he did not want water to touch his face, not even a splash! It makes it hard to teach one to swim when they have that fear. Well, fear no more, Noah has conquered it. He will now swim underwater, jump off the edge of the pool and splash around. He's like a new person. I think the fancy goggles help a bit too and that's ok with me. We didn't get many photos last night but took lots of mini videos.
This is Noah jumping off the edge and going under. You should see how proud of himself he is. It just melts my heart.
Drew doing one of his dives into the pool. I always hated to dive, always got water up my nose and I got so disoriented under water. Drew will try just about anything in the water and does it well.
Aiden sporting a lovely blue noodle. He thinks he's so big swimming around with nothing but that on. He'll even hold his breath and go underwater with daddy! I decided to sign him up for swimming lessons with his big bros for this summer. He's so eager to learn.
We finished off the evening with a trip to TCBY. It was Waffle Cone Wednesday and that is one of our favorite cheap treats!! What a great way to end the evening with the boys.
I just had to add this picture from the other night.
Noah and his Aunt Beth. Seriously, could they be any cuter??

What Does Your Latte Say About You???
Who would have thought my coffee would know me so well??? I guess we are pretty tight. I love you dear coffee!
What Your Latte Says About You
You don't treat yourself very often. You find that indulging doesn't jibe with your very disciplined life.
You can be quite silly at times, but you know when to buckle down and be serious.
Intense and energetic, you aren't completely happy unless you are bouncing off the walls.
You're totally addicted to caffeine... but you like to pretend like you aren't!
You are responsible, mature, and truly an adult. You're occasionally playful, but you find it hard to be carefree.
You are expressive and friendly, but you are never pushy.

My Awesome Mother's Day
My wonderful Mother's Day started off last night. Todd bought me Lavendar Vanilla massage lotion from Bath and Body works and gave me a full massage in the candlelight. There is not better way to fall asleep. This morning, I got to sleep in, a luxury for every mom, and then I got dressed and Noah and Drew took me to breakfast at Starbucks. The boys gave me some adorable gifts and cards and I had to take a picture of a few of the things. I'm sorry they turned out blurry and hard to read. I'm too tired to go back and try again! This first is from Drew. They had to spell out MOTHER and fill in descriptions about us. I thought it was sweet.
These next two pages were questions asked by Noah's kindergarten teacher and she wrote in the answers. I laughed out loud and some of them. If you know me, you'll get the humor!
This is the boys with Grandma Tunie. Her and Grandpa Ken and Scott came over for lunch and Todd spoiled us with shrimp, ribs, new york strip steak, garlic bread, Third Street fries, and the Olive Garden salad. For dessert he made Crepes Suzette. MMM, lunch was a piece of heaven and we felt spoiled. During the afternoon, Aiden napped and the rest of place played games, watched tv and relaxed. Todd took a much deserved nap!
We went to my brother and sister in laws for dinner with her family and mine. My brother made delicious chicken on the grill, roasted potatoes, and we had asparagus, fruit salad, salad and for dessert, Todd made a Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake that was to die for. The boys had a blast playing and we had fun entertaining Ellie.
Me and Noah
Me and Drew
Me and my Godson (and nephew!), Tyler. I love his smile. (I'm upset that I didn't get one of Beth and Noah together, I'll have to do that next time I see them) Me and My Boys (could ya keep the tongue in Noah??)
We always like to do a goofy shot. I think we succeeded in looking silly!!
It was honestly one of the best Mother's Days I've ever had. I feel so loved, so lucky, and so blessed to have the family I have. My hubby made me one lucky woman when he married me and even more so when he gave me my three incredible boys. They are the best gifts in my life and even on the worst of days, I wouldn't trade my life for anything. Sometimes being the only female in the house is a good thing. I'm "their girl" and they take pretty good care of me.

Flashback Friday
I haven't done a Flashback Friday for awhile and thought that since Mother's Day is a few days away, I'd flash back on that for a bit. It's hard to believe how far I've come in the past 9 years. I went from being plain ole me, to a mommy!! This was my first Mother's Day......May 1999. Drew was only about 6 weeks old in this picture. This was such an exciting day for me. We got together over at Todd's parents house with his family and my family. It was so special to celebrate my first Mother's Day with both of the first time Grandma's at the same time. This picture was taken Mother's Day 2005 of my mom with her kids and grandkids. It's amazing how in 3 short years she went from 3 grandkids to 6!!
These were taken last Mother's Day, 2007. These are some of my favorite because now I have my 3 special boys.

Drew's Joke of the Day
Aiden is sick today, he's been vomiting and very listless. Anyone who knows him knows that he is never like that! Poor babe. Tonight we were all having dinner at my parents house since my baby bro is home from college for a few days. In fact, he was leaving tonight. We were going to try and get a whole family picture of us since we haven't had one since Ellie has been born. But Todd and Aiden missed dinner since he wasn't feeling well. It just didn't seem right without them. He just got sick again but seems to have perked up a bit so hopefully it's all out of his system now. Anyway, I guess you're wondering where the joke is in all of this, huh?? Well, I was tucking Drew and Noah into bed and they were reading out of a joke book. Drew read this joke to me and the two of them were giggling hysterically over it. It really is funny, but hearing them giggle was what perked me up a bit. I needed a jolt to get me out of my funk. So I'm sharing Drew's joke with you.
There were three dinosaurs stranded on a deserted island. One day the first dinosaur found a bottle in the water, and he pointed it out to the other dinosaurs. The dinosaurs raced out and got the bottle. When the bottle was opened, a genie came out. He gave them each one wish. The first dinosaur wished to be in his homeland and -clap- he was gone. The second dinosaur wished the same as the first dinosaur and -clap- he was gone. And the third dinosaur said, "Gee, it's going to be lonely here without them. I wish they were back!"
How's that for a blonde dinosaur joke? :)
Thank you very much. I'm here all week.

Wierd Happenings......
The wierdest thing happened this morning. Aiden and I were cuddling in bed and he points over by my closet and says "What that?" I thought he was referring to the bag I had sitting on my dresser with my 2 new awesome pairs of capris in them. He said "No, that, who is that?" I'm looking at my closet and seeing nothing that even closely resembles a person. It's about 7am and the room is completely light so there are no shadows. I ask again and he says "That guy over there". I asked him what the guy looked like and he kind of shivered and said "That boy scary!". He just kept looking over there and talking about him. After awhile, he asked if we could get up and I said sure. He started to get off the bed like usual, looked over that way, and scrambled up onto me and asked me to carry him out. As we walked by the closet he kept looking over there the whole time. After sitting in the living room for awhile, he asked where the boy went and I asked him if he could see him. He said no. How wierd is that?? Now, I know Drew and I are avid Ghost Hunters watchers and I do believe in the paranormal but I also do not think there is anything in this house. It was spooky, bizarre, and kind of neat at the same time. Things that make you go hmmmmm.....
UPDATE: Later in the morning I was in my bedroom picking out clothes to wear. Aiden comes in, turns the light off, and goes and stares at that same spot again. I asked if he still saw the boy and he points and says "right there." He had me lift him up so he could point to him and he kept pointing to the air in front of my closet. I'm surprised it didn't creep me out more, I guess I was more intrigued than anything. I know children are more receptive to that sort of thing and it makes me wonder if he really did see something. I did get a little creeped out when I was getting dressed though. I kept wondering if ghost boy was seeing me naked! :)

The House That Jack Built......Is Building.....
Ok, I know my family is groaning over that title but, c'mon, that's good. :) For those of you that don't know, my dad's name is John, often called Jack by people he grew up with, and he and my Uncle Tim are building a house for him and my mom. I'm trying to get pictures throughout the process.
Grandpa John is in the white shirt.

Supreme Court lawyer Dayan Krishnan has been appointed as the special public prosecutor by city police to conduct trial in the December 16 gang rape of a paramedical student who succumbed to injuries during wee hours today at a Singapore hospital.
"It is Dayan Krishnan, an eminent lawyer...He has volunteered to do it free of cost. He will be assisted by two juniors," Dharmendra Kumar, Special Commissioner of Police (Law and Order), told PTI.
The senior police officer said the harshest punishment would be sought against five accused during the trial after filing the charge sheet by January 3.
The sixth accused is a juvenile and would be tried separately at Juvenile Justice Board.
"We hope to file the charge sheet by January 3, 2013. Section 302 of the IPC, which is the penal section for murder, has been added in the FIR," Kumar said, adding, "It will be our endeavor to ensure the harshest punishment in the book for the culprits."
Police have slapped murder charges as well as sections 201 (destruction of evidence), 365 (kidnapping or abducting), 376 (2)(g) (gang rape), 377 (unnatural offences), 394 (hurting in committing robbery) and 34 (common intention) of IPC against the accused.
The special prosecutor would conduct the trial in a fast track court on day-to-day basis.
Later talking to PTI, Krishnan said, "I had given my consent to conduct the trial."
Krishnan has been representing NIA, Delhi Police and other agencies at various judicial fora in many cases including the Nitish Katara murder case.
The girl, who died today at the Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore owing to mutiple organ failure, was gangraped, assaulted and then dumped in south Delhi by six persons on
the night of December 16.
She and her male friend had boarded the bus at Munirka around 9.45 pm on the fateful night after watching a movie.

Antibes was founded by the Greeks under the name Antipolis "the town across from" which means across from another Greek town, Nikaia, - today's Nice. Unfortunately there's nothing remaining from that early period, apart from a few objects that can be found at the town museum. With the arrival of the Romans, a very important town was established...
Auribeau-sur-Siagne is a typical, medieval village with narrow streets and old stone houses. There is an abundance of flowers in all colours and their perfumes fill the air. Apart from a walk in the old town, it is recommended to go down to the river on the south west side of the village, but note that the climb up can be pretty tough. A nicely...
Biot is a very popular medieval village which actually dates back to 154 B.C.

The fortified Haut-de-Cagnes lies at the top of a small mountain. The town is broken up by steep, winding streets, stairways and lots of small, idyllic squares. Haut-de-Cagnes is most interesting because of the old Grimaldi castle from the 14th century. In the square in front of the palace there are several cafés and night clubs and it can be...

Then, there is the...

Grasse does not give the feel of a pure tourist town. It is not the souvenir shops that dominate in Grasse. The old city, vielle ville, is big, old and utterly interesting. The streets still appear as in the Middle Ages – narrow passages and stairways, narrow, dark tunnels where the sun never breaks through. If you live in Grasse or near Grasse...

Psalms 130:1 – Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord. There are times when a child of God is clogged into the most difficult problems in this life and feels like he has gone deep down into the depths without any hope for a return. It is a feeling of suffocation and strangling by the circumstances. It is a situation of utter darkness around. It is like traveling through the cold and lonely pathways which gets colder day by day. There is no one to speak to or share with and no sympathizer around to comfort. But even in such situations, the Lord is near to His child to listen to the cries of anguish which come out of him. It might be sighs and sounds of intense pain, but they are heard by the Lord. It might be the thoughts which flow from his heart to the Lord in inexpressible words. It might be the most painful expressions of intense struggle with gasp for life. It might be the struggle to hold on to a straw to keep going. But even these struggles are understood by the Lord and He is there with His child to give him hope for a brighter future. The Lord hears all these expressions of sufferings of His child even from such depths of life. Our greatest comfort in such situations is that we have our Lord to look unto. He is available for us to communicate even from such depths of struggle. His ears are not shut that He cannot hear our voices of cry. His eyes are still able to see the deepest parts where we cry unto Him. He comes to help us in ways which are unknown and unthinkable for us. He will deliver us from the seemingly impossible situations. As we cry unto Him, His Spirit echoes His words of comfort and hope in our hearts which are the greatest strength for us to hang in there until He comes to rescue us. Perhaps He is waiting for us to be totally broken and to realize that there is no more strength in us. At that time, His strength will abound in us. When all hope is gone, He comes in with His ray of hope. When all our strength vanishes, His strength is poured in to our hearts to keep holding on to the Lord.
Dear friend, are you going through a time of intense pressure to the extent to which there is no strength left in you to hold on? Do you feel that you are in a hopeless situation? Remember, it is better to be in darkness if the Lord is taking you through it rather than in artificial or imaginary light. Even if you go through darkness, you are resting in the hands of the One who is the Light of the World. Even when there is no strength in you to keep crying to the Lord, your inner being will be able to express your anguishes to the Lord in inexpressible forms of sighs and sobs. Even such emotions are understood by the Lord. He wants to reassure you today that He knows all that you are going through, and He is fully aware of the intensity of your sufferings. Perhaps you are going into the depths of such sufferings, but the Lord is there with you even in such situations. Perhaps you feel like you are in a room which is shut from the outside and there is no knob for the door from the inside. Even then, the Lord is with you and His eternal words of comfort are echoed in your ears to strengthen you. One of these days, the doors to your dungeon will be opened and the Lord will usher you into greater glories. Joseph found his prison door open on a seemingly hopeless day, but that day was ordained of the Lord to fulfill His purpose for the entire humanity. Daniel found the den open for his release. The Jewish young men found the door to the fiery furnace open one day. David got a release from his situations which made him write about his experience of depth from which he cried to the Lord. The same Lord is with you today to listen to your cries and to give you His answers of hope and comfort. Perhaps He is delaying to answer you so that you will grow in your faith and trust in Him. But if we wait for Him, He will renew our strength and give us the peace that passes all understanding to keep crying to Him until His answers come to rescue us which is an eternal reality.Psalms 106:9 – He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; He led them through the depths as through a desert. Thought for Today
When God's people go through intense struggles, their God is out there to hold them in His hands and to listen to their cries.

When it comes to describing my style the first word that pops into my mind is bohemian but I also have another side of my style that is more elegant and simple and I am in love with how chic and elegant this look is making it perfect for any occasion you have to dress up for. This blazer reminds me of Chanel and that's probably why I love it so much. I decided to go for all black and make my blazer the focus point of my outfit. I went with a silky highlow top and wax jeans that are an alternative to leather jeans and of course nude heels. Making one item from your outfit the focus of the whole outfit is one way to keep your outfit simple…. well depending on what the focus you choose is but either way it'll make your outfit always look a little more put together.
Love, Elle
&& in case you were wondering what was inside my little Chanel bag, I received the most beautiful classic earrings that I absolutely adore.
Happy Holidays!

As stated before in a few different reviews, my curiousity at times gets the better of me when it comes to certains bands and certain albums. I've already espoused the glories of finding MORBID ANGEL and OPETH out of sheer luck, but I've never really brought up the uglier side of the spectrum, where one goes record shopping, finds an album of potential excellence, puts it in and is thunderstruck by a definative lack of excellence.
Like this little doozy.
Upon checking this out I had no idea what kind of trouble I'd end up being in, and honestly wasn't sure of what to expect. With every fiber of my being I never would have expected half-assed, whiny, sub-par goth rock with a metallic twinge the likes of the which would set many a Heartagram aflutter. For what it's worth these guys don't tread original or even entertainingly-unoriginal waters but instead dive headfirst into a Hot Topic symphomaniac's dream, obviously perverted by the likes of H.I.M. and newer-era SENTENCED. What good points I can give this work only really end up being about the album's production, which is pristine and rather punchy, and the keyboards and their up-front approach, using its vague elegance to outdo the rather mundane guitar and bass riffing that are just sorta there and act as a simple foundation than anything of extreme importance. Drumwork is harmless and rockish, plugging along rather simple mid-tempo beats that don't get in the way of the overall approach. But once the vocalist starts with his off-key, cry-me-a-river warbling, it's like musical assassination. Every other successive listen has only made me feel even more angst towards this joker and the way his vocal complaints bog down the overall musical approach. Such an ipacac-esque combination is shown in bitter spades in the likes of "Losing The Ground", "New Dawn", and "Thru the Darkness", in which the goth approach comes off as hackneyed and materialistic, far more "Pretty Hate Machine" than "Dark Shadows".
So in the end this wasn't as good an album as I would've hoped for. This wasn't even good, period. Just further proof that for every good Finnish band there's an evil twin out there lurking in any one of the Thousand Lakes. Avoid like FALL OUT BOY.

Timberbeasts, seaman, street fighters and biologists, spreading out of Novia Scotia and into the Great Pacific NW by land and by sea: these were the dinner stories of my dad. On my mom's side I heard of covered wagons, charm school and running printing houses; tales of the last three generations of my family.
I could just as easily talk about country bumpkins, mental illness, and jail time, because sure, my family has all that stuff, too. But I grew up with storytellers, and the past was filled with family and friends, of exaggerated acts of bravery and acts of kindness, that came to life with undisputed certainty in my parents' stories–particularly my dad's, and particularly after the second or third bottle of wine.
George Wood was born in Nova Scotia, Canada, around 1909. Fourteen years later, he apparently determined that he was ready to be a man because he left home and moved to Florida to work in the blossoming logging trade. He was the hightopper, meaning he was in charge of lopping off the tops of giant trees before the good wood was felled. It was the most dangerous job in the woods, not just because a man (or boy) had to climb and saw, hundreds of feet in the air, but also because as the tops severed from the trunks, the trees could split, crushing a man to death with his own safety harness pulled taut against the releasing timber. Sometime during the next 20 years he wound his way up to the Pacific NW (what I now call Cascadia), where he would eventually raise a family and die one week after his 100th birthday.
I remember the size of his hands. I was probably 8 years old and he was stooped and old, already 80 years old. But his hands hung like giant paddles at his side, easily large enough to palm my entire head, flaccid reminders of the giant he once was. The callouses worn so deep they never faded, creases of a life as a timberbeast.
I remember watching the Olympics with him, my parents, and my younger sister. It was the 400 meters. A quick race, a sprint, really. As the runners came around the last curve, somehow still accelerating with legs pumping and arms whipping like the blades of a fan, my grandpa leapt up and yelled:
"Somebody shoot the n—–! Let the white guy win!"
Because this is a true story.
My grandpa's first son, my uncle James, was a streetfighter. His younger brother, my dad, swears his record was 112-0. And surely, or probably, that wasn't his actual record, but the funny thing about James is that he grew up to be a biologist, a serious geek, and a moderate Democrat. He and his wife had 2 children, one of whom came out as openly gay in the late 1980s, a scandal in anyone's family at the time, and one my family struggled mightily to comprehend.
Grandpa Wood's youngest daughter married a black man, a drummer in a respected local jazz band. And somehow, not 10 years after my grandpa's outburst at the Olympics, we found ourselves sitting down together at a family reunion eating salmon: (former?) racists, gays, and blacks. And I'm not going to lie and say it was easy–it most certainly was not, but it happened. And Grandpa Wood wasn't an angel, but he didn't die a racist, either. And to see an old man with no education change his views like I saw him change his…that's a kind of strength of character it is sometimes hard to believe past generations may have had, I think.
And he wasn't the only one from his generation to do it. In 2, maybe 3 or 4 generations our culture has come further than I think anyone except the great luminaries like MLK thought we could. And it's not easy remembering my grandpa yelling those things at the Olympics. Of course it makes us all cringe inside, but that was the truth of the time and it's not the truth anymore. My gay cousin, he just disappeared–no one knows where he went, no one has a lot of hope that he's alive. My aunt divorced the jazz musician, although they remained friends until his death, and much of our family attended his funeral. Honestly it's hard for me to tell you who I looked up to the most growing up; my heroes didn't wear capes and say pithy things, they were dirty folk from the country who wore their emotions on their sleeves and fought for what they thought was right. And I'll be telling these same stories to my children at the dinner table, right after I've drunk that second bottle of wine, and my kids will decide for themselves who their heroes are going to be.
In honor of our current theme, How Are We Remembered? Bill shares both his personal and professional bios:
Bill grew up in rural Cascadia where he did a lot of different odd jobs and played in the woods a lot. Eventually he spent a bunch of time really enjoying Portland, and now he's a neuroscientist trying to work with a bunch of cool people in a bunch of cool places. He is currently in Paris, although you may be equally likely to find him in Portland, Seattle (check the College Inn Pub), the San Juan Islands (diving for tasty snacks), or Brazil.
William Wood was born in Salem, Oregon, and holds a BA in biology from Reed College and a Ph.D. in Neurobiology in Behavior from University of Washington. He is the recipient of numerous grants and awards including a Fulbright Postdoctoral Research Fellowship and a Ruth L. Kirchstein National Service Research Award (NRSA) from the National Institute of Health. He currently is a post-doctoral researcher at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Paris, France.

I don't know what he was trying to say to me, but I know feeling vulnerable on the train, feeling like you know someone when you don't. I know sitting helplessly as eyes brim with tears, being unable to control your face.
I was on the N for an afternoon of exploring a neighborhood that is not my own. I watched out the window as rows of homes flipped by like a shuffled deck of cards. I wore headphones that filled my ears with sounds I selected.
He was young, a little scraggly looking. He seemed nervous, and I caught him eyeing my phone. I stuck it under my purse. That's when he motioned to me that he wanted to talk. I pulled my headphones down.
"I'm sorry," he said. I didn't know what he was sorry for, but he seemed genuinely regretful.
"I'm sorry?," I said it back to him as a question.
"This is embarrassing," he told me, and with the side of his flattened palm he wiped his eyes.
I didn't know why he was embarrassed. I didn't know why he was crying.
"Are you okay?," I asked him.
"Yeah, I'm sorry. Ugh. I'm sorry; I'm embarrassed." He dabbed at wet eyes with the sleeve of his shirt.
"You sure you're okay?"
And so I put my headphones back on, even though the exchange chilled me. I didn't know what else to say. I didn't know what he wanted. I didn't know what caused his tears. But I know succumbing to them in public on a train beside a stranger. I know what that is like. And I know what it feels like to try to communicate something you can't. And to feel ashamed.
Was he seeking solace? Did he have a story to tell? A request to ask?
The young man watched as I deboarded at the next stop. His face looked ripe with things to say.

The series is based loosely on the film Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky and the same titled novel of the Strugatsky brothers. The main story behind the STALKER series, in very short, is that after the disaster in Chernobyl in 1986 the Soviet Union continues experiments in secret labs located in the now deserted area around Chernobyl.

Prior to retirement, John was Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's manager of the West Coast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership (WESTCARB) projects in California and Arizona. These U.S. Department of Energy/industry collaborative projects involve drilling wells and injecting CO2 into deep saline aquifers, then using geophysical techniques to monitor the movement and stabilization of the CO2 in the earth. His efforts involved coordinating project scientists, industry partners, and technical consultants; working with other geophysicists to demonstrate technologies for monitoring geosequestered CO2; acquiring permits from regulatory agencies; and informing political leaders and the public about geologic storage of CO2 as one of many important technologies for mitigating global warming. Before returning to the Lab in 2007, John worked at the California Energy Commission in the Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) Program managing research projects focused on developing clean, efficient, electricity generation systems with low CO2 emissions.
A major part of John's career has involved the exploration for and development of geothermal resources. As an independent consultant he planned and managed geophysical (magnetotelluric [MT]) surveys of geothermal prospects in Indonesia and the Azores, and interpreted MT surveys at geothermal sites in Japan. One of the Azores surveys discovered a new geothermal system that is being developed for electricity generation. As the General Manager of a 50‑employee MT service company, he advanced data collection and interpretation capabilities for clients exploring for geothermal and oil resources.

Paint Annapolis/
Haven't gotten a whole lot of painting done in the last few days, but hope to remedy that this weekend in Annapolis. I'm going up to participate in the Mid Atlantic Plein Air Painters Association paint-out that is running concurrently with the Paint Annapolis competition. Paint Annapolis is an annual juried competition, also spearheaded by the MAPAPA. 30 artists who have been selected by a jurying process compete for prizes by painting en plein air over a long weekend around the historic section of town near the harbor. I have not been one to apply for many competitions and I missed the deadline to apply for this one. Up to now, I guess competitions haven't really been on my radar. I don't really consider myself to be competitive in nature and the thought of "performance painting" just seemed like more stress than fun. On the other hand, aside from the opportunities they offer, there is a lot to be said for immersing yourself in a community that is welcoming to artists, where the focus is just painting, painting, painting.
There is certain energy you get from working with other artists in a group setting that encourages and inspires, and makes you want to do more and do better. That is the experience I have had with workshops, whether I've been leading them or taking them. And while accolades and prizes are nice, I suspect this is the real appeal to the paint outs and competitions for many plein air painters too.
This is what I had in mind when I registered for the paint out. Since up to now I've been a pretty inactive member of the MAPAPA, I figured this would give me a chance to do something with the group, as well as to see what the Paint Annapolis event is like from the inside, without the added pressure of competing. I also love Annapolis and have always wanted to go and paint there. I am supposed to have free high speed Internet access at my hotel, so if all goes well, I will blog about my experience while I'm there.
The weather is looking promising, and I'm excited about the trip. Still, the event probably couldn't come at a worse time for me personally. Moving time is fast approaching, and next week we start breaking ground for the new studio! I told my husband that I couldn't believe I was going to Annapolis with all that we have going on. "I really think I am going insane," I said. He had one word in reply, "...Going?"

Each day began the same way: I would get out of bed, take a shower, and sit down at my desk. I'd place my New American Standard Bible in front of me and open it to where the bright green M'Cheyne's Bible reading calendar kept my place. I would close my eyes and ask God to illumine the texts I was about to ponder. And then I would begin to read—usually two chapters from the Old Testament and two chapters from the New.
For years this ritual was the high point of my spiritual life. Of course there were missed days. And take it from me: It's hard to catch up when you've missed a day or two of 19th-century Scottish minister Robert Murray M'Cheyne's calendar. (Knowing this firsthand, a friend of mine created her own irreverent alternative, "A Bible Reading Plan for Slackers and Shirkers," which you can find online.) There were days when none of the readings seemed particularly edifying or inspiring. Still, this is where I believed I encountered God most fully and immediately. This was the best way to remember God's love and demonstrate love for him in return.
I also believed God was fully present when I would open the Bible on Sunday mornings. As a growing young Christian, I attended churches whose pastors preached for 40 minutes or more, explaining the biblical texts with radiant joy and scrupulous attention, the way my science teachers had breathlessly described what I was seeing through the telescope pointed at the night sky. At the time, I would have told you that Sunday mornings were extensions of my daily meditations on Scripture. My personal Bible reading was the center of my spiritual life. Following along as my pastor preached was like a rippling ...1

TRO PANG SAP, CAMBODIA - An expanding crackdown in Southeast Asia on the trafficking of endangered species has led to a new challenge - what to do with the thousands of animals rescued every year.
That issue is on full display at the Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Center, about an hour's drive south of the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh.
The calls of gibbons resonate across the 2,400-hectare protected forest with exotic birds occasionally joining the chorus.
Many of the animals arrived here after being seized by Cambodia's Wildlife Rapid Rescue Team, composed of government officials, military police and staff of the U.S.-based non profit Wildlife Alliance.
Every year the team rescues hundreds of endangered animals, thanks in large part to tip offs from Cambodians to a hotline.
Booming trade in endangered wildlife
Illicit commerce of animals is the world's third largest black market, behind weapons and drugs.
It is a multibillion-dollar enterprise, involving well-organized criminal syndicates and corrupt or apathetic officials, removing species from the wild faster than they can repopulate.
At this government-owned refuge is the biggest sun bear population in captivity (around 100), in addition to several dozen moon bears.
The entire reserve would sustain only a single bear in the wild, says Anuradha Jayasinghe, a technical adviser with Free the Bears.
Two of the bears from here were set free after a gradual reconditioning process in another part of the country.
"The bears were doing fine for about three months, roughly. But, then, unfortunately they both got snared again by poachers, explains Jayasinghe. "So that's the main issue in Cambodia is the hunting. It's just the forests aren't safe, at the moment, for releasing bears. And then the forests we might be able to (release animals) are full of mines."
There has been modest success with other species.
More than two thousand rare turtles, taken from traffickers in a cross-border law enforcement operation, were repatriated to their native wild home in Indonesia in February.
The "pig-nosed" turtles had been confiscated the previous month in Hong Kong.
Pangolins, a mammal often called "scaly anteaters," are hunted for food and medicine, leading them to become the most frequently seized mammal in Asia's wildlife trade. That has lead to a "great decline" in their populations in Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos, according to the Worldwatch Institute.
In the first half of this year more than 1,200 live pangolins were confiscated, in addition to nearly four tons of scales (which are sold for about $3,000 per kilogram). The haul was seized from traffickers in China (including Hong Kong), India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan and Thailand.
At Bangkok's main international airport there are frequent seizures of 300 to 500 turtles or tortoises at a time.
Authorities in Thailand, a major transit point for smugglers, report seizing more than 10,000 live animals and 1,300 carcasses in 2013.
Few homes for rescued wildlife
The wildlife found at Thailand's ports end up at 24 overcrowded centers across the country.
Most will stay in the centers for the rest of their lives. In many cases the countries of origin are not known and those nations would need to request their animals be returned, which does not usually occur.
It is not unusual for hundreds of slow lorises to be discovered in a single raid or intercepted airport shipment.
"Most of the slow lorises have their teeth clipped so they can't survive if you take them back [to the wild]. Or they've been hand raised, " says Nancy Gibson, founder of Love Wildlife Foundation. "And they're naive little creatures that don't know how to hunt. So there's a lot of difficulties behind that and you have to keep them in the centers."
She says caring for such animals is a "never-ending process" that places a "huge burden" on governments and NGOs.
"There's a lot to consider because you have to keep an animal and you have to take care of it for the rest of its life. This can be anywhere from three years, even to ten years. And if you have a lot of bird species and tortoises this can be 50 years," says Gibson, who started her Thailand-based NGO a decade ago.
Putting the seized animals in zoos in Southeast Asia is usually not an option because the facilities are over-burdened with a surplus of creatures dumped at their gates by people who have tired of caring for exotic pets.
Well-meaning tourists add to problem
A live tiger on the black market in Asia will sell for $50,000. Assorted body body parts from a dead tiger can be worth in total tens of thousands of dollars more, according to law enforcement officials.
A live monkey in Thailand can be purchased for under $50 while a healthy owl can be bought in India for about $250.
Gibson explains that many well-intentioned animal lovers will purchase such animals they see on the street, thinking they're helping to free them from deplorable situations.
"But this is actually something that is feeding the trade. So you're not actually helping the situation," she says. "They will take more from the wild because this is part of their business. If possible, just don't support it at all. Keep reporting it [to authorities]. Whether something actually happens or not you should always keep reporting it."
Activists want tougher penalties to dissuade smugglers and hope to find ways to compel countries where the animals originated to take more responsibility for them.
Another problem is that many of the kingpins of animal trafficking enjoy immunity from arrest or prosecution due to corrupt officials.
That all means the chorus of rescued animals being kept in this Cambodian refuge will have more voices joining it in the future.

University of Wisconsin-Madison Students of Color Targeted for Organizing Against White Supremacy and Zionism/
Today, Palestine Legal sent a letter to the Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Rebecca M. Blank, expressing concern over a pattern of harassment and discrimination by on- and off-campus groups and individuals targeting Carmen Goséy, a Black student leader, and Students for Justice in Palestine at UW-Madison (SJP).
The harassment and discrimination arose from a series of events last spring concerning divestment resolutions debated by the student government and backed by a diverse coalition of student of color organizations interested in advancing social justice and transparency in university investments. The resolutions addressed a wide range of issues, including anti-black racism, indigenous rights, immigrant rights, Palestinian rights and climate change.
In response to these efforts, Ms. Goséy and members of SJP faced a pattern of racist, sexist and Islamophobic harassment, documented in the letter.
In June, Kenneth Marcus and Aviva Vogelstein of the Louis D. Brandeis Center wrote to the university, depicting students of color organizing against white supremacy, Zionism and all forms of racism as "unacceptable." The Brandeis Center letter singled out Ms. Goséy and SJP for wrongdoing. For example, the Brandeis Center letter condemned Ms. Goséy for saying "F--- White Supremacy" at a student government meeting, and for writing in an open letter to the university that "all white people are racist." Although the statement was written based on Ms. Goséy's experiences as a Black woman on campus, the Brandeis Center letter urged the university to address this statement, calling it "especially damaging."
The Brandeis Center letter also urged the university to adopt the widely-discredited redefinition of antisemitism, which classifies virtually all speech supportive of Palestinian rights as inherently antisemitic. In September, the UW-Madison student government adopted this definition of antisemitism, a move that will likely infringe on students' First Amendment rights to advocate for Palestinian rights.
Palestine Legal called on the university to, among other things, take immediate steps to support students of color targeted by discrimination and harassment, and to reject Brandeis Center's demand to adopt the State Department definition of antisemitism.
See the letter to UW-Madison Chancellor Blank here.

Global Market Comments for November 7, 2008
1) The dreaded October non farm payroll came in at minus -240,000, much worse than expected. The unemployment rate soared from 6.1% to 6.5%, a 14 year high. These figures included the Boeing strike and the full brunt of the credit freeze. We have lost 1.2 million jobs in the first ten months of this year. Despite this depressing news the market managed a 248 rally, a classic case of buy the rumor and sell the news. This renders the Q3 GDP figure of -0.3% meaningless. It was probably more like -3.0%.?? I believe that we are currently enduring two extremely sharp down back to back quarters of?? minus 7-8%?? GDP combined, which is getting us uncomfortably close to the legal definition of a depression of -10%. I believe we will see a gradual recovery next year. There is so much liquidity flooding the system I can't see otherwise.
2) More fascinating data about the car industry. Car production peaked at 17 million units/year two years ago. It is now at a run rate of 11 million units/year. This is the lowest absolute rate since 1980, and the lowest population adjusted rate since 1945 when the government lifted its wartime ban on civilian auto production.
3) General Motors (GM) announced a Q3 loss of $4.2 billion. The cash burn was $6.9 billion, or $2.3 billion/month, more than double the worst case scenario. The company called off its merger with Chrysler. Fasten your seat belt. November car sales could be as bad or worse than the cataclysmic October numbers.
4) I saw an interesting interview with Kenneth Lewis, CEO of Charlotte, North Carolina based Bank of America (BAC), which after the purchase of US Trust, MBNA, Countrywide Financial, and Merrill Lynch, is now the largest bank in the country, with nearly $3 trillion is assets. The current holding company is descended from the North Carolina National bank and Nationsbank. One out of every two Americans is now a BAC customer in some way of another. The company pulled out of sup prime lending in 2001 because it didn't like the risks, and shut down its in house hedge fund at the end of 2007. It just received a $25 billion capital injection from the Treasury which it didn't need which will expand its lending capacity by $250 billion. It will lend this money, not use it for more acquisitions, because new lending is now extremely profitable, and because of moral suasion from the government.
The 1,100 point sell off in the Dow over the last two days, the worst since 1987, has taken the VIX back up from 54% to 64%. As long as the sun doesn't explode and incinerate the solar system I don't believe the market is going to a new low before the next options expiration on November 21. Use volatility spikes to go short the November S&P mini 830 puts for $20, taking in $100,000 in premium on 100 contracts.

The most obvious cause of cold feet is the surrounding environment. When the temperature gets colder, people routinely experience problems with cold extremities. However, there are several different medical problems that can cause cold feet as well.
Reynaud's Phenomenon
Reynaud's phenomenon is more common in women and is a circulation disorder that causes the blood vessels in the fingers and toes to tighten when they are exposed to stressors. This leads to the hands and feet feeling cold, or becoming sensitive to the cold. The cause of Reynaud's phenomenon is not always known and may possibly be a side effect of other conditions. People with the disorder may experience numbness or tingling in their fingers and toes. They may also notice that their skin turns pale or blue, followed by reddening in the affected areas. This may last a few minutes to several hours, and gradual warming of the fingers and toes helps to restore blood flow to the area.
Buerger's Disease
Buerger's disease is a condition that is related to smoking, that has been tied to Reynaud's Phenomenon. The disease causes swelling in some of the blood vessels in the feet and legs. This disorder is rare and it is more common in men aged 20-to-40 who smoke. Smoking causes tightening of the blood vessels, but for people with this disease, the tightening can become so severe that it damages or destroys skin tissue, which can lead to infection or even gangrene. People with Buerger's disease should stop smoking completely to improve blood circulation.
Peripheral Vascular Disease
Peripheral vascular disease causes the blood vessels of the periphery (the feet in this case) to narrow and harden. The narrowing of the vessels leads to decreased blood flow and can cause cold feet. The vessels become narrowed by the buildup of plaque in the vessels, mainly the arteries. Those who are most at risk for developing peripheral vascular disease are those who smoke, or have health problems like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease or have had a stroke.
Treatment for peripheral vascular disease can include medication and surgery to clear blockages. Once the blockages are cleared, blood flow will improve, relieving cold feet.
Other rare problems that can cause cold feet include hormone abnormalities, autoimmune disorders, and medication side effects.
Problems with the heart itself can also cause cold feet, but it's rare for this to be the only symptom a person experiences.
Increasing one's blood flow with a natural product like the Manna Blood Circulation Support can just be the answer to your lifelong cold feet and hands.

Harry Connick Jr. is just one of many artists in our extensive portfolio, contact us today to speak to a Harry Connick Jr. booking agent.
With very few exceptions, the career of Harry Connick, Jr., can be divided in half — his first two albums encompassed straight-ahead New Orleans jazz and stride piano while his later career (which paralleled his rising celebrity status) alternated between more contemporary New Orleans music and pop vocals with a debt to Frank Sinatra. Born in New Orleans on September 11, 1967, Connick grew up the son of two lawyers who owned a record store. After beginning on keyboards at the age of three, he first performed publicly at six and recorded with a local jazz band at ten. Connick attended the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts and studied with Ellis Marsalis and James Booker. A move to New York to study at Hunter College and the Manhattan School of Music gave him the opportunity to look up a Columbia Records executive who had asked to see him, and Connick's self-titled album debut — a set of mostly unaccompanied standards — appeared in 1987. Jazz critics praised Connick's maturity and engaging style as well as his extended stays at New York hot spots during the year. His second album, named for his age in 1988, was the first to feature him on vocals. Get in touch with Command Talent, a Harry Connick, Jr. Booking Agent to discuss pricing for private parties, corporate events and concerts.
Already well known within jazz circles, Connick entered the American consciousness with the soundtrack to 1989's popular film When Harry Met Sally. Director Rob Reiner had asked Connick to compose a soundtrack, and he recorded several warm standards ("It Had to Be You," "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off," "Don't Get Around Much Anymore") with a big-band backing. A world tour followed, and When Harry Met Sally eventually reached double-platinum status. With Connick a major celebrity, he diverged into an acting career, playing a tail gunner in 1990's Memphis Belle. That same year, he released two albums simultaneously: one, We Are in Love, was another vocal outing with similar standards as had appeared on When Harry Met Sally, while Lofty's Roach Souffle was all-instrumental. (Of course, the vocal album performed much better in the pop charts, hitting double platinum, while the instrumentals worked better with jazz audiences.) Connick toured again, this time with a big band, and recorded the group on 1991's Blue Light, Red Light. Though his celebrity decreased slightly during the mid-'90s, Connick's albums continued to reach platinum status, including 1992's 25, a 1993 Christmas album, and 1994's She. Connick continued his acting work with a starring role in 1995's Copycat (where he played a serial killer), and he married actress Jill Goodacre. In 1996, he had a brief role in the year's biggest blockbuster, Independence Day, but his album Star Turtle failed to connect with pop audiences. Come by Me, a return to big-band sounds, followed in 1999. In the new millennium, Connick cycled between albums exploring his jazz roots and those with songbook standards. Get in touch with Command Talent, a Harry Connick, Jr. Booking Agent to discuss pricing for private parties, corporate events and concerts.
Interestingly, post-2001 Connick moved between two labels with albums getting released on both Columbia Records and saxophonist Branford Marsalis' Marsalis Music label. Among these were the big-band album Only You, featuring popular music from the '50s and '60s, and the more intimate releases Other Hours: Connick on Piano, Vol. 1 (2003) and Occasion: Connick on Piano, Vol. 2 (2005), which focused on Connick's instrumental abilities. As well as releasing albums, Connick continued to act, appearing regularly on the television sitcom Will & Grace before it ended in 2006. Ever devoted to his hometown, Connick was also heavily involved in the support and rebuilding of New Orleans post-Hurricane Katrina. In early September 2005, he organized the benefit telethon A Concert for Hurricane Relief on NBC to raise money for and draw attention to the beleaguered residents of New Orleans. Afterward, he worked closely with Habitat for Humanity in helping victims of Katrina. In 2007, Connick once again expressed his deep love for his hometown with the release of his New Orleans tribute album, Oh, My Nola, on Columbia Records. The similarly New Orleans-themed Chanson du Vieux Carré also appeared in 2007. A year later, Connick returned with his third holiday album, What a Night! A Christmas Album. He once again revisited a set of American popular song classics and contemporary pop standards with 2009's Your Songs. In 2011, as part of WNET's Great Performances series on PBS, Connick released the live album and DVD In Concert on Broadway. The concert featured Connick backed by his big band and orchestra performing at the Neil Simon Theatre in New York City. Get in touch with Command Talent, a Harry Connick, Jr. Booking Agent to discuss pricing for private parties, corporate events and concerts.
In 2013, Connick returned with the funk-oriented album Smokey Mary. The album coincided with the 20th anniversary of the Krewe of Orpheus, the Mardi Gras super krewe that Connick co-founded in 1993. Included on the album was the song "Smokey Mary Boogie Woogie Choo Choo Train," which Connick penned in homage to the krewe's signature float. Also in 2013, Connick released the eclectic album of all-original songs, Every Man Should Know.

The Amazing Adventures of (Mobile) Mapping the World
Christopher Prezeau, Tele Atlas
Ever wonder how your car's navigation system knows you're in the wrong lane at a toll booth? Or, how the information about where the nearest Chinese restaurant can appear within a few clicks of a mouse on your Internet map? Learn how we map the world with our van.
Factle Maps: Mapping Out the Nation's Neighborhoods
Bernt Wahl, U.C Berkeley, CET Technology Breakthrough Competition—IT Category
As Internet and demographic information becomes more localized, there is an increased need for data that defines these regions. Through developing and applying a 15-step process, Factle Maps generates high-quality datasets of neighborhood names and their corresponding boundaries.
Tagzania: There's No Place Called Nowhere
Luistxo Fernandez, Tagzania, CodeSyntax
Tagzania is a social mapping application, very tied to tagging, folksonomy. If Europe is some sort of periphery as seen from the SF Bay area, we're in the periphery of the periphery—a small Basque company pushing a global web site, from somewhere in Northern Spain. But geography is not constrained to a central point, especially since there's the Internet. And this European "fringe" viewpoint might be interesting: Europe is multilingual and multinational, full of governments not very happy with the idea of opening public cartography.
Twittervision: Location, Entertainment, and Presence
David Troy, Twittervision, Popvox
Twittervision was launched as an experiment to help visualize traffic on the emerging service Twitter. But as it has evolved it sits at the intersection of blogging, presence, location-based services, and entertainment. A grammar to support Twittervision location updates was introduced and now other extensions to the platform can be made to support additional capabilities. Twitter and Twittervision point the way toward horizontal, federated approaches of providing rich presence and location-based services. We'll explore what's happened so far and spark some ideas about what might be ahead.
San Francisco Tree Map

When green gets geeky, trees get mapped. Learn how Friends of the Urban Forest, a non-profit tree group, dives into OSGeo and the difference it makes.
Cartographic Anesthesia
Bruce Daniel (Cartifact, Cartifact Labs)
What's the look of geo-technology today? It appears we're suffering from Cartographic Anesthesia…and it's time to wake up! A long history of beautiful maps is being thrown by the wayside in the name of technology. What are the dynamics of merging cartography and data? Where might we find inspiration and negotiate a look and feel that will bring back an aesthetic balance?
One of the strengths of Web 2.0 is the start-up—a new company that bursts onto the scene with an innovative and promising new technology or business model. The following companies will debut their product for the first time onstage during the Launch Pad portion of Ignite Where:
