It's the Blog Hogger again. This time the mysterious guest stamper is . . . me! Okay, the last three times featured cards made by some of my friends. Looks like I have run out of friends, so I'll have to post a card I made with my own two itsy bitsy hands. LOL
I have recently fallen in love with screen divider cards. You can see the previous ones I posted here: http://inkinbythebay.blogspot.ca/2015/02/screen-divider-card.html,
and here: http://inkinbythebay.blogspot.ca/2015/02/colorful-birthday.html
This time I used the four panels to tell a story, or create a panoramic picture, or have a scene stretch across the four panels (which is actually what a panoramic picture does)... Is anyone still following my ramblings? LOL
Just in case someone is, here's my card:
This shows it lying down.
And this shows it standing up. I think I like the screen divider card so much because of the way it stands up. It's perfect for displaying!
Here's the details:
Stamps: White Christmas & Holiday Home
Cardstock: Island Indigo, Calypso Coral, Soft Sky and Whisper White
Ink: Stazon Black
Extras: Calypso Coral Blendabilities (house), Soft Sky & Daffodil Delight markers (car), Soft Suede marker (deer)
The house, snowman, car and deer are cut out and popped up on dimensionals. (There was absolutely no way I would/could cut out the birds! LOL)
When I decide who is getting this card, I will stamp my sentiment on the last panel. Also, I stamped the middle two sections while they were together so the scene literally flows from one panel to the other.
Flowing hugs,

Superpower Ethics: Western European Dilemmas: Man, State, and History [Abstract]
Ethics & International Affairs, Volume 1 (1987)
December 2, 1987
The European community holds a range of contradictory, changing, and evolving views of the United States and the Soviet Union. Hassner notes that the United States is seen both as an individualistic agent with a guilty conscience that intervenes irresponsibly and hypocritically, and as a model for resistance to oppression. The Soviet Union is also viewed antithetically, both condemned for totalitarianism and praised as more humanistic than the United States. Hassner sees these oppositions as reflecting the profound differences between the superpowers and indicating the challenge the United States and the Soviet Union face in establishing a common ethics.

Booking a room at the Renaissance in Aix En Provence was something I've been set on since the last time I came to Aix on business. When I last visited France for work, we stayed at a Best Western which is closer to my actual place of business. Best Western does not have the best places to stay in my opinion, though this one was actually fairly nice. Another downside is where the hotel is located, you have to drive and I prefer to take the commuter bus in the morning if at all possible.
Really for sake of being in a nice area, a nice hotel, and having access to the work site by bus… Aix is the logical choice. Once again, we run into the problem of not having a lot of hotels with good loyalty programs available to make use of. That's where the Renaissance came in. Outside of the hotel, it is fairly easy to recognize that the building is fairly new, with beautiful lighting at night, projecting lettering on the exterior walls. The hotel itself is located very close to much of the best parts of Aix En Provence.
Walking into the hotel, the front desk staff greeted me. At this point I had been driven from Philadelphia to Newark. Flew from Newark to Paris, connected in Paris, then flew to Marseille. Once landing in Marseille, there was another bus ride to Aix and then a walk to the hotel… I was tired from the trip, but it was only 1pm. Luckily Marriott allows you to request an early check in through a notification in the app. Before leaving the US, I had already requested a 1pm early check in. At the front desk they were able to verify that the room was ready to go.
Once they had me checked in, the woman working the front desk escorted me up to my room, which wasn't very far. She got me inside did a really fast explanation of everything and times things were available… which I promptly forgot, then said goodbye. While I really didn't need an escort upstair, I do appreciate the gesture and that she didn't linger. My trip was decently long, I don't sleep in economy, and I was tired.
Soon after arriving, sleep was required, so I took a quick nap. Just as I was about to sleep, an attendant paid a visit to my room. It took me a moment to wake up and head to the door about then he was coming in. After a quick apology, he handed me a welcome gift of a few chocolates and some water. The water was much needed, long flights with lots of dry air can really dehydrate anyone. Back to sleep I went.
My impressions with the check in were great, a very helpful staff, attentive but not overbearing, they really were a wonderful group.
Not everything was sunshine and rainbows though. At work the next day, I looked over the cost of the hotel to issue a report to my company, immediately I was confused on the expense of the room. Why was I paying way over what I had expected? Quickly it became apparent that there was an extra night tacked on to the stay. Now my first reaction was wondering if the concierge who had booked the stay might have heard me wrong and booked the incorrect stay. Pulling up my email, quickly it was found that the booking had been 100% correct, and no other emails existed to show that things had been modified. The only way this could have happened, was that the front desk added a night.
When I returned to the hotel that night, I requested that the extra night be removed. She promised to do so and I went up to get some sleep. Before sleeping and when I awoke, I once again checked my Marriott account to find that nothing had changed. That morning, one more time I requested the change to the departure date, this time the desk clerk quickly solved the issue.
So while the stay was great, I do wonder about the extra day. Why was it added without informing me? What was the clerk thinking to add another day after verbally confirming 5 nights with me? I don't know there was any ill intent meant here so I'll just assume it was an honest mistake, but I kept an eye on my account the remainder of the stay.
At the end of the trip, this is a hotel I would certainly recommend. If you end up in Aix, this is the place I'd suggest you stay.

We all enjoyed last week's singin' and shootin' extravaganza. so how 'bout another heapin' helpin' of Spaghetti Western shootin', ridin', brawlin', and a little comedy this Saturday on the DARK VAULT OF PUBLIC DOMAIN as UNCLE PETE brings you They Call Me Trinity. Directed and written by Enzo Barboni, this gem from 1970 stars our favorite Italian duo Terence Hill (as Trinity) and Bud Spencer (as Bambino).
Bambino pretends to be a small town sheriff (after scuffing up the new sheriff on his way to town) while he waits for his bad guy buddies to show up. But first Bambino's brother Trinity, a first class slacker, fighter and gunman, rolls into town. Meanwhile, evil rancher Major Harriman (Farley Granger) is trying to run a bunch of Mormons off their land so he can take it over as a horse ranch. Trinity, who has become enamored of a couple of attractive Mormon girls, convinces his brother that they should help the Mormons fight this evil land grabber. Fightin' and fun ensue in this action packed horse opera also knows as My Name Is Trinity.
UNCLE PETE is off on a bowling tour again. Unfortunately, he runs into a little trouble, as usual, at one of the airports. It seems some of the stuff that UNCLE PETE typically travels with has Airport Security a bit concerned.
Plus, it's another of our recently remastered remixed DARK VAULTS with enhanced and improved video and audio and some new material.
So barbecue up a bunch of spaghetti and beans and tune in this Saturday night September 27, 2014 from 10PM til midnight on Binghamton's channel 4, Sayre's channel 17, and Corning/Elmira/Hornell's channel 99. It's western action, bowling thrills and a good dose of wackiness as UNCLE PETE presents They Call Me Trinity on the next DARK VAULT OF PUBLIC DOMAIN!

Tumblr messaging/
I got Tumblr messaging yesterday. Here are my thoughts.
I just had my first real conversation with another person on Tumblr's new chat device – like, more than three or four lines – and I have comments
- I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of tumblrish converesation conventions emerge for chat, and whether they spread to other chat forms.
- I wonder if an explicit distinction between "just idly scrolling" and "here to be social" moods are going to emerge, and if they'll tend to be respected? Like, I just reconnected with someone I hadn't talked to in a while, and it was really cool, but I'm not in an extensively social headspace right now and I'd like to retain the option for Tumblr to be that.
- There's no so-and-so is typing notification. idk if that's good or bad.
- You can't minimize the chat box in-window. It looks like you should be able to. And you can't have more than one open at once.
- New messages were making it to my phone before they showed up on-screen. That seems like a problem. It means messages go through really slowly. I wonder if they're going to sometimes fail to send to one device or another at all.
- There are a few people I only have contact with through Tumblr. I'm not on facebook, so that limits my ability to retain a gradient of connections with people. I expect I will continue to not share my Tumblr with people I don't want to follow on Tumblr, but still, this creates more steps in between "mutual follower" and "communicates outside Tumblr" that makes the gradients of friendship more mobile. I think that's a good thing. I may be biased because my first full conversation on Tumblr chat was a manifestation of the best possible version of that.
Those are the thoughts I have right now. I'm going to go back to idly scrolling and reblogging now.

Physical properties of seawater

Example 3E
Example 3A: Before we get started
Oceanographic profile data and Java OceanAtlas
Oceanographic profile data are data collected at one location - one geographic coordinate - in the vertical, typically from the sea surface to some subsurface depth, in some cases to just above the ocean bottom.
Profiles are often collected from a ship which stopped at that location to collect the profile. Those stops are called stations, and so the word station is sometimes used instead of profile, although it is not necessary to make a station stop to obtain a profile: for example eXpendable BathyThermograph - 'XBT' - temperature vs. depth profiles are often collected from moving ships, or even from airplanes and submarines.
Two principal types of profile data from oceanographic stations are bottle data and CTD data.
Many seawater characteristics cannot be sampled, or sampled at high enough quality, by electronic sensors.
Bottle data originate from water sample bottles attached to a lowered wire or group-mounted on a frame (called a "rosette" water sampler) attached to a lowered wire, which are closed at chosen levels, isolating water samples then subsampled shipboard for various parameters such as salinity, dissolved oxygen (or other dissolved gasses), dissolved inorganic nutrients, or many other substances.
From one water bottle brought up from the deep, subsamples can be drawn for many different seawater characteristics.
Physical oceanographers have found that it is useful to obtain water samples for determination of dissolved oxygen concentration and the concentrations of the inorganic 'nutrients' nitrate (NO3), phosphate (PO4), and silicate (SiO3). Beginning primarily in the 1970s global measurements of other natural and anthropogenic dissolved substances began to be feasible and useful, for example components of the CO2 system, radiocarbon, helium, tritium, and, beginning in the 1980s, CFCs.
CTD data originate from semi-continuous sampling electronic profilers, which are lowered into the ocean, recording output typically from pressure, conductivity, temperature sensors, and sometimes other sensors as well.
The sensors in a CTD provide measurements of conductivity, temperature, and pressure. The salinity profile from a CTD is calculated from C, T, and P by a computer. A non-ocean-experienced engineer might call the instrument a 'CTP' for what it measures, or an 'STP' for the parameters in its processed data stream, but oceanographers use the traditional designation 'CTD'.
For convenience, oceanographers sometimes (in informal non-research publications) interchange the words 'depth' and 'pressure' due to the similarity of depth expressed in meters and pressure expressed in decibars.
Oceanographers rarely use conductivity data themselves in ocean water mass and circulation studies because the vertical variation of conductivity is a strong function of temperature and pressure. By using the calculated property 'salinity' the oceanographer has a valuable parameter whose values are essentially independent of pressure and temperature.
Most modern bottle data include data parameters from the CTD sensors recorded at the time the bottle was closed. An oceanographic section is composed of a series of profiles/stations across an oceanographic region or feature. Oceanographers most often use sections from single ship transects, called quasi-synoptic sections, but useful sections may also be pieced together from various data.
Optimal Data for Use with Java Ocean Atlas
Java OceanAtlas is optimized for working with ocean section data because (1) sections provide an oceanographically useful way of visualizing ocean features and (2) there are many section data. Also, for ocean profile data it is easier to make visually-appealing plots from ocean sections (X & Z axes) than it is from mapped station data (X & Y axes). The reasoning behind this point can be understood by considering that to study the water properties and circulation of typical deep ocean regions requires that station (profile) separation be no more than ca. 50 km in the interior of the region and ca. 8-12 km across boundary currents at the edges. Thus, while one basin-spanning section could be used to examine circulation and fluxes across the X-Z plane, to map the X-Y patterns of flow at that resolution would require many sections, spaced no more than 50 km apart. The realities of shipborne logistics make this impossible for large regions. Of course satellite data can provide superb maps but are restricted to a very few parameters at the sea surface.
While it is difficult to make persuasive, appealing, yet accurate, computer-contoured maps from miscellaneous profile data, such as from a typical collection of stations and sections, it is possible to make good-quality maps from pre-gridded data. These can be made from X-Y-Z gridded compilations of oceanographic data or output from computer models of the ocean (which are typically received as gridded data). In these DPO JOA Examples we will use pre-gridded statistical compilations of data from the World Ocean Atlas 2005 (from Syd Levitus and colleagues at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Oceanographic Data Center.
Additional references: http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/OC5/WOA05/pubwoa05.html).
The Origin of the A16_2005_sta085_bottle.joa data file
During the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) in the 1990s, a comprehensive One-Time global survey was made of a broad suite of water properties along a planned set of oceanographic transects.
A subset of these transects was subsequently chosen by oceanographers to be re-occupied (re-measured) approximately decadally (some more often, some less often).
One of these transects we will use in the DPO JOA Examples is the "A16" meridional (south-to-north; as opposed to zonal, or west-to-east) Atlantic Ocean transect from the Southern Ocean, near the South Shetland Islands, north to Iceland. This original WOCE transect was re-occupied during two cruises: the northern part in 2003 and the southern part in 2005, as part of the US Global Ocean Carbon and Repeat Hydrography program.
In this chapter we will use bottle data from one station from the 2005 South Atlantic Ocean "A16S" cruise to investigate the properties of seawater and their vertical variation at the location of this station.
Files that may be needed or created in this example:
- A16S_2005_sta085_bottle.joa
Exercise 3A-01: Seawater Properties - The JOA Data Window
- Start JOA
- File → Open
- Locate the data file A16S_2005_sta085_bottle.joa and Open. The JOA Data window should look like this:
Here is a summary of the various parameters in this data file (all parameters not explicitly described because CTD parameters are from analyses of water samples drawn from the water bottle after the sampler was brought on board after the cast):
|CTD pressure at the time the bottle was closed
|CTD temperature ("in situ") at the time the bottle was closed
|CTD salinity at the time the bottle was closed
|bottle salinity
|CTD dissolved oxygen at the time the bottle was closed
|bottle dissolved oxygen
|CFC-11 ("Freon 11")
|CFC-12 ("Freon 12")
|carbon tetrachloride
|partial pressure of CO2
|total alkalinity
|total inorganic carbon

It's almost midnight on Sunday night and I'm still awake. Why you may ask? Because I forgot to do laundry until an hour ago. Now, if I was on top of tasks such as laundry this may not be a big deal. However, I was lazy enough to let ALL of the clothes I wear on a daily basis pile up to the point that I truly didn't have anything left to wear. I'm so mature.
This past week I started my new job as a Teacher's Aide. It was such a great opportunity and so far it's been fun. I do have to say though, it's the hardest thing I've ever done. And I'm just the aide! I came home and took a 2-hour nap every single day the past week. I'm not sure why, but it's been really hard to let go of my college schedule of going to bed around 2 and waking up whenever I feel like it. Being a grown up is tough, man.
On Saturday, I wanted to go to Canton. This is the first weekend all year long that I haven't been out of town doing something on the first of the month when the monthy First Monday trade days are held. I didn't think we were going to get to go because Mom had a prior commitment, but once it was over, we made a last minute decision to head East. It was fun of course and as always...very entertaining. We weren't there even 10 minutes before I saw a 60 year old woman wearing spandex shorts. When I say shorts though, I want you to picture bikini cut shorts. I also saw a two-seater motorscooter.
Mom and I have visited Canton once a year in the past 3 years and always in October. It just seems to be the one time it works out. I just don't see how people go almost every month! The same booths are there every single month and I'm sure there's only so many sights! It's lots of fun though to go with Mom. We don't ever buy much but we have fun people watching and shopping.
I'm hoping this next week isn't as tiring, because as much as I love napping, I'm just not getting anything accomplished after I get home from school. Which is why I'm still up waiting for the laundry to finish.

University of Minnesota President Eric Kaler made a stop at UMD last Friday to meet with administration and make himself available to students. "I am responsible for all of the campuses of the University of Minnesota system, and that gives me the opportunity and obligation to keep in touch," Kaler said. "I do that by these visits. (They're) a chance to really discuss with leadership and then to hear from students about how their experience is and what we can do to make it better."
He said the issues students bring to him range "from soup to nuts," but students are always articulate and organized.
"It's impressive the amount of effort students will put into telling their stories," Kaler said. "Occasionally I'll get a student who thinks they deserve a different grade in a course than they got. Not a lot I can do to help them with (grades)."
About a dozen students went to Kaler's office hours. Senior Makayla Collins, a Phi Sigma Sigma, had questions about Greek life.
"I am going to ask him how Greek Life can be a more positive force on campus and ask him what are his thoughts about Greek Life in general," Collins said.
Visits like these are a break from Kaler's normal routine.
"(I work) to tell the university story," Kaler said. "(It) may be breakfast or lunch with a rotary club, a legislator, a conversation with a newspaper editorial board . . . about as diverse a range of speaking opportunities as you can imagine."
And when it comes to student office hours, Kaler takes them seriously.
"Sometimes I can tell (the students) things that they might not know or perspectives that they might not have," Kaler said, "Or sometimes I'll take what they say back to the relevant dean and say, 'You know this is what I heard about this—follow up and tell me how that works.'"
Freshman Jacob Froelich was one of the first students to speak with Kaler. Froelich said Kaler's emphasis was for students to take responsibility and action, like coming to his office hours and voicing their concerns to elected officials.
"(Kaler) told us to get involved with Bulldog Legislative Day, because that's when legislators see what issues are important to students," Froelich said. "(Kaler) said that if every student and their parents took 90 seconds to write an email to their representatives, it would make a huge difference.
After meeting with Kaler, Collins came out feeling that her questions about Greek Life had been answered.
"He gave us ideas to make it have a more positive image, like a mission statement and more volunteering," Collins said. "He told us that our adviser will be in touch with him. He made himself available and was very accommodating and supportive of Greek Life."
Kaler's visits are consistent with his vision for the university.
"The overarching long term goal is for us to become a national destination for undergraduate education (and) an international destination for graduate and professional education, for us to solve the problems of Minnesota, to be embedded deeply in the solutions to problems like the K-12 achievement gap," Kaler said.

I love to scrapbook digitally! After over 20 years of scrapbooking traditionally I've found digital scrapbooking to be the answer for my space on the bookshelf dilemma as well as a fast and less expensive way to record our family memories! And, the flexibility of unlimited use of all things digital is amazing! I've found a wonderful software solution for my digi scrapping needs (Creative Memories StoryBook Creator Plus) that is so intuitive that a five year old can use it (and does!). I don't consider myself very
"techy", so having an easy program to use was perfect! I've now been creating wonderful digital photo books and have them to enjoy and share and make copies easily for others! It's become my favorite way to scrapbook!

We have created this Decorative fabric to be more durable, and easier to wash and maintain, however that familiar odor and dust of the jute fiber is part of the nature of the fabric. This odor and dust are not from any chemical used in the making of the fabric and is completely safe, and it would dissipate over time with use. To expedite this, you can simply air out the fabric in open air, or use steam on the fabric. Please keep in mind since this natural fiber is biodegradable, Dry cleaning or spot cleaning is recommended, and soaking the fabric in water can damage the fabric. With proper care, this piece will give you years of use and will create a natural, rustic look of this beautiful fabric.Features

Group sues to protect 681 endangered species
In a move that got surprisingly little press, the conservation group WildEarth Guardians on Wednesday filed a lawsuit seeking the immediate protection of 681 U.S. species under the Endangered Species Act.
The list of species includes plants, snails, butterflies and numerous other Western species. (I wish I could provide a more detailed accounting, but even WildEarth's own website doesn't have any news about the suit posted yet.)
The only real mention of this lawsuit so far come from Sunday's Washington Post, as part of a must-read investigative report on the obstacles the Bush Administration has placed upon protecting species under the ESA. The Post received internal documents from the Interior Department which showed "that personnel were barred from using information in agency files that might support new listings, and that senior officials repeatedly dismissed the views of scientific advisers as President Bush's appointees either rejected putting imperiled plants and animals on the list or sought to remove this federal protection."
During his seven years in office, President Bush's administration has approved just 59 domestic species for ESA protection. In contrast, Presidents Clinton and Bush the First averaged 62 species per year during their combined 12 years in office.
UPDATE: WildEarth's press release is now available here.

An alluring wine bursting with juicy summer berry fruit, together with a distinctive but gentle spiciness. Delightful, peppery strawberry and raspberry flavours mixed with touches of herb, this is fruity, refreshing and easy to drink. 100% made from the red Pelaverga grape, a rare variety only found in the Verduno commune of Barolo that Castello di Verduno saved from extinction in 1972.
Contains Sulphites.
The Castello di Verduno is one of the historic castles of Barolo, originally built in 1500, and thanks to the Burlotto family it also seems set for a glittering future. Nebbiolo was first vinified here in 1838 under the new ownership of King Carlo Alberto of Savoy. In 1909 the castle was acquired by the Burlotto family. It was in the 1950s that the Commendatore Giovanni Battista Burlotto, returning from Eritrea, set about restoring the castle to its former glory. Today his daughters run the estate. The Castello's ten hectares of vineyard spread across Barbaresco and Verduno, the northernmost Barolo commune where the proximity to the river results in warm days but cool nights. Their top wines come from two of the region's most hallowed vineyards Verduno's Monvigliero and Barbaresco's Rabaja. Apart from making fabulous Nebbiolos, the Burlottos are also arch-exponents of the rare Pelaverga variety. This fascinating red grape can only be found in Verduno, where it has been co-planted since the 1600s. It was in danger of dying out, however, until Castello di Verduno took the brave step of being the first to dedicate single vineyard plantings to the variety, in 1972. Success soon followed for the alluring, fruity and peppery reds it produced culminating in 1995 with the award of its very own DOC, Verduno. Interestingly the Burlottos also make a tiny quantity of excellent white made from the same variety, a blanc de noirs, that offers crisp clear fruit and herbal flavours. The wine-making here is traditional; soft, slow fermentations with 25-40 days of maceration on the skins followed by ageing in large old Slavonian oak casks, 24 months for the cru wines and 3 years for the cru riservas. These are refined, spirited, vital Barolos and Barbarescos that have an elegance that makes them very eminently drinkable young, yet with the balance and nerve to allow for long ageing.
Piedmont sitting at the foot of the mountains is justly regarded as one of, if not the finest wine growing region in Italy. The noblest grape found in the region in undoubtedly Nebbiolo, with the DOCG's of Barolo and Barbaresco at the forefront of production. Barbera and Dolcetto come in second and third, and being earlier ripening are often found located on those sides of the hills that receive less sunshine. The wines from Piedmont are intrinsically food friendly wines, a fact understandable given the culinary strength of the area.
Pelaverga (often known as Pelaverga Piccolo) is a rare red grape from the hills of Piedmont in northwestern Italy. It is also known by many other names, including Carola, Cari, Fra Germano and Taddone.

IB stands for In Bond. Wines that are stored In Bond have not had UK Duty and VAT paid on them.
Most of our wines are available for purchase under bond, as fine wines often need to be laid down in order to allow them to mature. Many clients choose therefore to store them in our bonded warehouse and pay the tax as and when they wish to get the wines delivered. Please note that Wines purchased In Bond can be exported to non-EU countries without the need for Duty and VAT to be paid.
DP stands for duty paid. If you wish to get wines delivered for drinking, the duty and VAT will need to be paid as it leaves its bonded state in the warehouse. The wine is then said to be duty paid.
All taxes must be paid in order for us to be authorised to ship or deliver wine (unless the wine is bonded and being moved to another bonded warehouse or being shipped directly outside of the EU.)

Every 15 Minutes Program a Rousing Success at Harrison
Olivia DeCrane
Harrison High School participated in the Every 15 Minutes program on April 13 and 14.
The program occurs every two years and is intended for juniors and seniors.
The goal for Every 15 Minutes is to educate students about the dangers of distracted driving.
When the program began, the focus was on drunk driving, but now due to the prevalence of cell phones, it also aims to educate about texting and driving.
This is the eighth time Every 15 Minutes has taken place at Harrison.
Twenty-one students, all juniors and seniors, "died" in order to stress the importance of not driving while drunk or distracted.
When a student "died," the Grim Reaper would tap him or her on the shoulder and the student would get up and lie on a gurney.
As the student was rolled out, a police officer would read his or her obituary to the class.
Someone "died" every 15 minutes.
Later in the day, juniors and seniors gathered near the south parking lot to watch the aftermath of a staged car crash.
Firetrucks and ambulances pulled up to the scene, which consisted of two cars, one of which was overturned completely.
Speakers amplified what the firemen and police officers were saying so students could know what was going on.
The drivers of the cars were not injured, but all of the passengers were.
Anna Miller was pronounced dead at the scene, while Abby Summers was airlifted and taken to the hospital, and they pronounced her dead there.
Chris King was taken in an ambulance to the hospital.
The next day, students attended a convocation about the program.
The convocation included guest speakers and a video made by the Harrison Announcements team.
Participants in the program also spoke to the audience about their experiences.
Greg Hockerman, Rosalie Stanley, and Terry Sharp all have ties to the Harrison community and have all felt the effects of drunk and distracted driving.
None of them really wanted to talk about the hard memories, but did anyway because it was important to raise awareness about the issue.
Mrs. Crawford has been working with Every 15 Minutes since 2004.
She, along with a committee of 11 students and eight adults, has been planning this event since January.
She notes that about 75 percent of the program is run by the students, not the adults.
"It takes approximately three months to put everything together," Crawford said. "In terms of hours, it has to be well over 100."
There is a lot to plan—the mock crash, the writing of obituaries, and planning the convocation are only a few of the things that must be taken care of.
"Retreat guides, assembly speakers, emergency responders, hospital personnel, police officers, funeral home personnel, judges, attorneys, and many more [must be chosen]," said Crawford.
The student committee is in charge of picking the student participants, and they aim to pick students from all kinds of groups from school.
"I think that's one of the most important things," Crawford said. "If you don't have the right participants, then you are not going to get the impact of the program that you want."
They also choose the guest speakers.
Every 15 Minutes this year cost about $6,700, and Mrs. Crawford received grant money from the Drug Free Coalition for all but $200 of it.
The program is not the same every year.
Teachers have participated in Every 15 Minutes too.
"Several years ago, Craig Smiley was in the crash and he died on the scene," Crawford said. "He actually was laying on the ground. Our scenario was that he was coming back from Purdue with some students that were doing some research. He was the person that was ejected."
In the future, Mrs. Crawford would also like to see a retreat set up for the parents.
After the students "die," they are taken to a hotel, and there they have their own retreat where they watch videos, listen to speakers, and talk about the experience of Every 15 Minutes.
Mrs. Crawford thinks parents should have a support group too, since this program influences the parents as well.
Mrs. Crawford's most striking memory from the program is how all the students react.
"In all programs, collectively, I have been totally inspired by the attention and respect the students give during the assembly and the crash scene," Crawford said. "It is a long time, and kids could get bored, but they always stay focused on the program. This year I was totally blown away by Rosalie's speech and the response she got from the audience," says Crawford.
Learning about distracted driving is extremely important for teenagers, since automobile accidents are the leading cause of death for that age group.
"It's pretty scary when you think [texting and driving] translates to eight beers," Crawford said. "The drinking and driving doesn't necessarily relate to them but using the phone relates to everybody.
"The time and the money is well worth it if we can encourage anyone to change their habits."

Journal Entry by Sam Jones
S - Scripture Proverbs 15:17 NLT
"A bowl of vegetables with someone you love is better than steak with someone you hate."
O - Observation
Last year I bought a smoker to cook Christmas lunch in - it was delicious! The meat was tender and juicy and the flavour was divine. Yes, it took me 14 hours to cook, but it was worth it!
It's easy to allocate 14 hours of my time to cook for the ones I love, but would I do it for my enemies? Why then do I (we) spend so much time 'polishing' ourselves for the outside world, always doing our utmost to make sure that we are dressed well and looking our best "just in case" we see someone while we're out. I know I'm happier just being me, surrounded by the ones I love (and wearing trackies).
A - Application
Eat steak with the ones you love! Surround yourself with people that build you up and invest in you, your life and your wellbeing.
All to often I try to be a people pleaser, putting others (friends and foes) above my own needs. Go the extra mile (or 14 hour cook) for those that mean the most to you. Just remember, Sam, that you'll never please everyone, no matter how much you put in.
P - Prayer
Lord, help me to put you at the top of my list as a God pleaser. Keep my friends and family close, but also give me the wisdom to spot foes before they sit at my table. And let my steaks be juicy and tender. Amen.

The NBC comedy Powerless, which is set in the DC Universe, might be coming to an end. Earlier this morning, NBC pulled the DC comedy series from their Thursday night lineup as new episodes of Superstore have been scheduled to air in its place.
Given the not-so strong numbers for the new NBC series, this might be a sign of an coming cancellation for DC Comics' first live-action comedy television series. NBC has yet to reveal when/if the remaining episodes of Season 1 will be aired and no official announcement has been made yet whether Powerless has been cancelled or not.
In addition, executive producer Patrick Schumacker shared on his Twitter confirming that the next two episodes will not air as planned. In addition, he gave fans the heads up that they shouldn't expect good news to come out of this.
#Powerless will not air this week or next. This, I know for sure. I can guess some other things but they're not good. Thanks for watching.

"In a world where humanity must cope with the collateral damage of Super Heroes and Super-Villains, Emily Locke (Vanessa Hudgens) begins her first day as Director of Research & Development for Wayne Security, a subsidiary of Wayne Enterprises that specializes in products that make defenseless bystanders feel a little safer. Full of confidence and big ideas, Emily quickly learns that her expectations far exceed those of her new boss (Alan Tudyk) and officemates, so it will be up to her to lead the team toward their full potential and the realization that you don't need superpowers to be a hero."
Powerless stars Vanessa Hudgens as Emily Locke, Danny Pudi as Teddy, Christina Kirk as Jackie, Ron Funches as Ron and Alan Tudyk as Van Wayne.
Movie & TV Villains Who Actually Beat The Heroes
A few weeks ago, the sci-fi horror film Life hit theaters. The tale of an unstoppable alien stalking a group of heroic astronauts on the International Space Station had the right amount of terror, intrigue and characters. We here at Heroic Hollywood liked it. One thing about the movie that was awesome was its ending. It's been a few weeks, so most of you all probably know, but the alien ends up being the victor, killing the crew and assumingly conquers planet Earth. Life continues the fun trend of when the villains in the movie win.
This makes you think… what about other times where the villain actually wins? In the world of heroes who constantly face insurmountable odds and almost always end up being the victor (after all, who wants it for the good guy to not be triumphant?), there have been a few times many films based on comic book properties where the villain is actually the victor, even when they lose.
Here are a few examples of when our heroes are actually bested by the bad guys, even if the heroes technically win the day. Click Next to take a look….

As a yoga teacher, I've been approached a number of times by people looking for an alternative mode of physical therapy. It is no surprise that yoga and healing are this closely related, though the exact nature of this healing can be a challenge to discuss.
There is a lot of information to sort through. Yoga began as a meditation practice as early as 2500 BC, and in the millennia since has collected several other practices all lumped under the same name. It includes ancient texts (the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali), medieval texts (the Hatha Yoga Pradipika), and more modern writings (BKS Iyengar's Light on Yoga). There's also a growing collection of medical studies on its various effects.
The older texts claim supernatural benefits that I personally think are best taken as metaphor, while texts written in the previous century are limited by the medical knowledge available at the time. In his book, The Science of Yoga (published in 2015), William Broad writes that even the International Association of Yoga Therapists has only recently begun to apply more rigorous and scientific findings to the modes of yoga therapy.
Caution is advised when looking to yoga as a form of therapy. Where physical injuries are concerned, we would do well to examine medical claims thoroughly before trying anything. That said, yoga can have profound healing effects when applied with skill and insight.
The Mind-Body Connection
Take a common metaphor: the body is a vehicle, and the mind is the pilot. We hear a saying like "Mind over matter" in the spirit of pushing past discomfort, difficulty, and even pain, especially in a sports context. Many of us enjoy hearing stories of determination and heroism, where the mind pushes the body beyond its limits. Of course, injuries and illness are common in such stories. The vehicle needs repairs, and the mind is trapped, a prisoner in the body.
Yoga shifts the emphasis away from this division and cultivates an awareness of how mind and body are linked. A popular interpretation of the word 'yoga' is that it comes from the Sanskrit root word yug, meaning "to yoke, to connect." In yoga, the breath connects mind and body. When cultivated regularly, awareness of the breath results in a deeper and more expansive awareness of the mind-body connection.
Many yoga therapy sessions are centered on creating and sustaining this awareness. Timothy McCall, a doctor and the medical editor for Yoga Journal, wrote that yoga therapy is less like a typical studio class; in fact, cases of severe injury can be limited to just deep, rhythmic breathing coupled with simple bodily movements.
That said, a lot of yoga therapy needs to be tailored to the patient's needs and the nature of the injury. In a typical yoga class, a teacher will not have enough time to modify poses for the patient. McCall recommends a one-on-one approach for most cases.
It also helps to distinguish between yoga teachers and yoga therapists. Unlike regular teachers, therapists have taken additional training in yoga therapy. They may even have a medical background: an occupational or physical therapist, sports scientist, nurse, or doctor. This means they would have the medical knowledge needed to design a treatment course appropriate to the patient's needs.
Whatever the injury, a yoga therapist should be able to design a yoga practice specific to a patient's needs. A therapist should have the skill to guide the patient through this practice. They can motivate and inspire patients to sustain the practice on their own, making it a habit and a part of their life.
Down-regulation and Healing
Awareness of the mind-body connection helps us activate our parasympathetic nervous system, which governs our rest-and-digest functions. It is also the sub-division that regulates the body's ability to heal itself.
Therapy and healing will usually bring up the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic nervous system governs our fight-or-flight response. When it activates, our blood pressure, heart rate, and blood sugar levels all go up. By pumping blood faster through the body, the sympathetic nervous system makes sugar and oxygen readily available for the large muscles in our legs and hips for fight or flight. With heightened levels of adrenalin and cortisol, we become alert and responsive to stimuli.
This is the rush we get from physical activity, which gives sports and physical exercise that exhilarating effect. More importantly, this system has helped the human species survive many physical dangers in the past. However, we also have the same responses to emotional, mental, and social stressors.
What yoga therapy does is help people down-regulate themselves and activate their parasympathetic nervous system. It is common for a gym coach to say that a good exercise regimen includes enough rest and sleep; it helps the muscles repair themselves and brings on those sought-after gains. By the same token, activating parasympathetic mode as therapy helps in recovery from most injuries.
Living with Chronic Pain
It often happens that injury is treated ineffectively, leading to chronic pain. Because yoga began as a meditation practice, it is unsurprising that it contains ways of addressing this particular issue.
A prominent authority on this is Kelly McGonigal, PhD, a yoga teacher, health psychologist, editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Yoga Therapy, and author of Yoga for Pain Relief. McGonigal herself suffers from daily, debilitating headaches, and found a way to address them through yoga and meditation.
For her, the yoga approach does not seek to fix the body, as if it were a machine in need of repair. "It involves every possible tool of yoga, including breathing, relaxation, movement, meditation, philosophy, and self-reflection. It's recognizing that yoga's healing power comes from its ability to change the way you breathe and move, yes, but also how you feel, think, and relate to yourself and to pain."
The results of yoga and meditation for her speak for themselves: "Now, my pain is extremely mild and not daily. I only get a few debilitating headaches a year. The pain isn't gone, it's just a completely different experience. It has no hold on me, my emotions, and what I am able to do. I almost never have to take pain medication, whereas I used to take it daily. But it's actually kind of a miracle."
Where to Explore Yoga Therapy
For those looking to try the therapeutic aspects of yoga before engaging a yoga therapist, there are these options:
1. Inquire at a local yoga studio. Yoga studios sometimes offer restorative yoga or meditation classes, which are generally safer if you have injuries or illnesses.
2. Try yin yoga. More commonly available in studios than restorative yoga, yin yoga targets the fascia, or the connective tissues in the body. People who have undergone myofascial release may find similarities here. Arrive early and inform the yin teacher of your conditions so they can make the needed adjustments.
3. Look online for guided breath awareness meditation or yoga nidra. YouTube, Spotify, and even iTunes University offers recordings for guided meditations, and yes, even for pain management. Yoga nidra, or yogic sleep, is the safest option: done lying down, it only asks that we pay attention, breathe, and be in the moment. And yes, it's OK to drift off to sleep.

If the State of the River reminded me of one thing, it is that we, as Eric Kuhn, general manager of the Colorado River District mentioned during his talk on the Colorado River, "are all in this together."
While I like to think the Middle Colorado River is its own river system, and at times it feels like it is, the river we protect is actually just one piece of a much larger river system that spans most of the American southwest. <READ MORE>

What is happening in India can't understand A portion of a ₹389 crore dam in Bihar's Bhagalpur collapsed on Tuesday, a day before it was to be inaugurated by CM Nitish Kumar. Several low-lying areas were flooded as water from the collapsed dam rushed into residential areas in Kahalgaon. "The dam broke due to release of water in full capacity," Minister of Water Resources Lallan Singh said. Corruption under every thing is very high.
Sorry all the Indian politicians are power mongers. Money chasersAs long as these
ruthless politicians are alive there is no hope for the people of India. No one can come to
our rescue.
In a shocking turn of events, the ₹389.31 crore worth Gateshwar Panth Canal Project, which was all set to be inaugurated by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, suffered a major blow as a part of the dam collapsed just 24 hours before the inaugural ceremony.
Stirring the administrative head, Minister of Water Resources, Lallan Singh said, "The dam broke due to the release of water in full capacity. The incident has not caused any damage to the newly constructed part of the project."
Due to the unfortunate accident, the inauguration of the dam has been cancelled.
It is said, the Bateshwarasthan Ganga Pump Canal Project was prepared by the government under the irrigation scheme at Kahalgaon in Bhagalpur. ₹389.31 crore was spent on this scheme.
The Gateshwar Panth Canal Project is told to be very old and took a long time to complete the project.
The main purpose of making the dam was to collect water in the canal so that the farmers would not have to face any problem.

The Bighorns
Summer 2017 • Ordinary Time after Pentecost
Somewhere in the Cloud Peak Wilderness, Wyoming
It's the loose stones that get me. It's not the lightheadedness induced by heights that planes, not people, normally play in; nor the neck turned red and raw, the sun revealing fleshy nature without need of a cut. It's not the angle of inclines, bending you low to the ground, almost crawling, baby-like, humble; nor the myriad explosions in my old, aching knees required in every descent. It's not the rocks and roots waging war against the soles of my feet; nor even the fires of rebellion against will and resolve burning in my shoulders, lungs, thighs, shins.
It's not such things that most threaten my will and resolve, most obstruct the reaching of the goal. It's the loose stones—the gravel that slides from underfoot so unexpectedly; the steppingstone that proves a decoy; the laying down of a foot in search of, in need of, something firm, only to find slipperiness, causing contortions, sprained ankles slow-cooked-style, the tensing of overtired and rarely used muscles, and little deaths to my soul too small to notice and likely too numerous to count. It's the disappointment, the false expectation.
It comes in other forms: the disappointment of a preliminary plateau, spending all the energy you think you have to reach the "top" only to find there is another and a steeper ascent to go—it makes you want to file bankruptcy; and the false expectation of a calm lake, one you think is your destination, but it's really only the first in a chain of lakes—it's not what we came for, but can't we just stop here?
A hike up a mountain is full of disappointments; the way is marked by false, unmet expectations, some obvious and maddening, most insignificant, unnoticed, never rising to the level of conscious awareness. But together they conspire in a liturgy of despair; a training of head, heart, will, body, soul, and imagination in a reality in which disappointment is at the bottom of things; a kind of anti-discipleship whose master asks, "Is it really worth it?" It's this pedagogy of futility that most threatens my desire and intention to go on; it's the barrage of disappointments, of expectations unmet.
And yet it is expectation that keeps me going. Pit-stops along the way help—the fast, foaming, freezing mountain water is restorative for sore muscles, life-renewing and life-giving, as if we were in the water of the womb in every way with the exception of warmth. Company, companionship, conversation help. I think of you often and that helps.
But it is expectation that most keeps me going on this journey, expectation and direction. The expectation of surprise: who could have predicted the presence of a mystifying mountaintop cave surely holding Forrest Fenn's fantastical treasures? The expectation of beauty: redefining (or rightly defining) the term "a room with a view" by looking out our tent at basecamp; and being able to behold, from atop the bluffs, sun and wind partnering perfectly with a near-summit lake to produce a million sparkling, momentary diamonds, valuable not as wares to sell but as wonders to witness. There's the expectation of the stuff of celebration and thanksgiving: passing through the waters of a pure and bright and boisterous waterfall just gentle enough to wash your head in; tasting the original waters, as holy and dangerous as fire water, to be drunk only with fear and trembling. And there's the expectation of rest: at journey's end there is peace and stillness and a light lunch (who needs much food when feasting on such glory?).
A hike is about expectation. A successful hike will typically be marked by the certainty that my knowledge of what awaits is not what awaits—reality always beggars articulations and anticipations of it. That is my expectation.
So I point my steps in a particular direction, each step making it harder to turn back; desire and intention may be overwhelmed but I am more than what I consciously will or want in the moment. I follow a well-worn path, wisdom chiseled into the face of the mountain through the long obedience of countless travelers before me, confident that they have already found goodness at the end of this way. And I listen earnestly to the stories of what is to be found at journey's end. All this flows from, expresses, and fuels expectation. And it is expectation that carries me when my feet no longer want to. Hope impels me to press on to the receiving of a gift that, in this life, few people get.
And yet there is always the return trip, the hike back down (which you'd think would be less exhausting than the hike up, but it never is). These moments of beauty and rest are so fleeting. As the sun rises on the most breathtaking basecamp I've ever seen, I'm uncertain about whether the mountain before me is a picture or a window, an end or an invitation. So I'm torn between greed and gratitude—between humbly, joyfully receiving the moment with open palms and clenching my fists around the moment while planning for the next opportunity to reproduce it.
These moments of glory and beauty and rest are so fleeting. And the temptation is to gather up as many as we can, like a child pulling up wildflowers for a bouquet. Quickly it becomes a bouquet of death. What if that is a sign that wildflowers weren't meant to be captured and collected but enjoyed precisely as no possession of ours? And what if the fleetingness of moments of beauty and transcendence (or is it immanence?), the fleetingness of rest and recreation, is a signpost in a strange land—an indication that we've got things backward when we try to amass adventures and recreation and rest as though they are our end in life, a clue suggesting the true nature of our present relief and experience of beauty? The way up the mountain and its end are truly wonderful goods, such wonderful goods that they can beguile us into chasing after them like wind, and all the more so if we are convinced that the way up the mountain and the mountaintop is all, or the best, there is. But our Master says that whatever we leave for his sake will be repaid a hundredfold and more, eventually. This mountain is included in the promise. Unexpectedly, not only does expectation propel me up the mountain; it is also expectation that helps me to truly receive with joy the view from the top and, for the sake of love, to leave it.
I remember the words of Herbert, that lasting rest was purposefully withheld from us as a kind of pulley to tug our heavy, idol-prone hearts higher than even the mountains they are disposed to settle on. And I remember the words of the prophet, that we await a new heavens and a new earth. This mountain will be made new. Indeed, the mountain of the house of the Lord will be raised above all the mountains, and this mountain in its glorious newness will rejoice on that day.

Since receiving the acceptance letter from TAPIF in April 2014, I've dreamed about this day: receiving la carte de longue séjour, or long-stay visa. Things have been "non-stop" since I've been back in the states. I returned on August 27, took a trip to Chi-town for the réunion, or appointment, at the French consulate on August 28, and started working at BR on August 29. That weekend was Labor Day, so, naturally, I labored the entire time. In retail, there's no such thing as taking a pause from laboring for "Labor Day." But, I won't be stuck in retail for much longer because I'm going to be returning home (aka to the south of France) next Tuesday! After 10 years of service, my contract with BR will finally come to an end. It's a bittersweet ending, but I look forward to what lies ahead: Teaching English in France (and being with mon chéri).
On August 28, I missed my 8:00am train to the city, so, I was forced to drive in. It was a beautiful, breezy, sunny morning, so, I didn't mind. Little did I know at the time, it would be the only beautiful day out of the 3 weeks I've been in the states. Though, it was a well deserved beauty.
I arrived early at the consulate in order to meet up with one of my long-time SAFFL (Study Abroad Friends for Life) friends.
We met in front of the consulate and had a nice 20 minute chat before I went inside. We thought that he would be able to join me in the visa room; however, the procedures have changed since 2012. Now, only people with appointments are allowed to go to floor 37. This was a bit of a disappointment; however, it worked out perfectly as the réunion lasted about 15 minutes. Afterwords, we had lunch, followed by a trip to the People's Republic of China consulate so that he could pick up his touriste visa. Needless to say, it was day filled with going to/from consulats.
What the TAPIF candidate needs to bring to the réunion at the consulate in Chicago*:
- 1 completed visa pour un longue séjour application: Visa Application in French
- 1 OFII form – only the top half needs to be filled out: OFII Form
- The Arrêté de nomination (work contract) stamped by the French ministry of labor
- 1 copy of the Arrêté de nomination
- Your passeport (they keep your passeport and put the visa on one of the pages)
- 1 copy of the identity pages in your passeport
- A self-addressed prepaid EXPRESS MAIL envelope from the US POST OFFICE ONLY (NO FEDEX / UPS / AIRBORNE EXPRESS accepted)
*Although most of the required documents are the same at every consulate, there might be certain consulates that require other types of materials. Be sure to read the consulate general's website for your jurisdiction before going to your appointment. Here is a link to the TAPIF requirements at the Consulate General of France in Chicago.
I also brought my flight information and my lodging information (attestation and EDF, or electricity bill); however, these were not needed. Another unnecessary thing are bank statements. There was some confusion about whether or not this would be required; however, the employee who helped me with the visa informed me that it is not required for those with a work contract.
I was told that I would receive my visa in two weeks; however, I received it a week later. 🙂 ♦

Velvetswan1 AUG, 2012I made these pastries because they looked so good and easy to make however what a waste of ingredients. These cookies had very little flavor. Big disappointment!Reply
rij1286127 AUG, 2010@meyesme. My sister had similar results. However, we found out her oven was way to high. Needed a new thermostat. Also, she had substituted homemade grape jelly. I wonder if jam freezes (firms) better than jelly? It was a funny disaster.Reply
meyesme26 AUG, 2010Disaster. All was fine at first, but the jam didn't "firm" in the freezer -- and trying to cut through frozen pastry while the jelly makes the five layers slip around while it escapes out the sides of the pastry tower is 1) unfun and 2) messy -- serrated knife notwithstanding. 400 is also too hot (my "cookies" were black @ 12 mins) and, with all the jelly spillage, even my most successful batch were just pastry with smudges of pink. What a pain/waste of time.Reply
mykele25 AUG, 2010Again we are told to preheat our ocvens at leeast 30 minutes before we will actually use them. I usually preheat an oven when removing cookies from freezer or refrigerator and it is always heated before my cookies are ready for the oven. You should be able to freeze these unbaked for around 3 months. Works for me. MykeleReply
ESR25 AUG, 2010Can you make this ahead? Can you freeze them and if you can how long can they stay frozen?Reply
mommykatt6 APR, 2008I made these to give as gifts at Christmastime for my husband's coworkers. They went over very well! My two children even said they liked these best (over gingerbreadmen, sugar cookies, cinnamon sugar cookies, and brownies!). A nice, light cookie that takes a little extra time to make, but makes a big impression.Reply
