Question: CONSIDER YOUR ROUTINES—WHERE IS GOD?
Transcript of Video:
There are times when I'm enthusiastic about going to prayer in Chapel with my Brothers, to what we call the Daily Office. There are other times that I'm less enthusiastic about it. But I think the powerful thing about religion is that it teaches us that there is a value in simply doing something. There is a value of actually going through the motions of something – whether you have your heart and soul in it is actually immaterial to the practice. I think there is a lot of confusion about that. I think a lot of that confusion comes out of a lot of distorted thinking in the Protestant Reformation. There is actually a value in ritual. There is actually a value in doing something – that's immaterial whether you can rationalize it, whether you can understand it, whether you can put your heart and soul in it – there's actually a value to just going through the motions, through the steps. And I think sometimes when we're in – I think we can apply that sometimes to work. I think sometimes it's simply a matter of doing it. It's simply a matter of doing it. And it's in the doing that we are transformed and we are shaped and we are renewed and that we even – The reason liturgy and ritual was so important in the Church is because people realized that this was how they came to belief. This is how they actually – how their souls would change, how their hearts were softened and how they were able to give themselves to the ministry.
So I think sometimes we have to approach work that way: "I'm going to do it because this is what is here and this is what has to be done and I'm simply going to do it." It's the doing. And I know that that's not very popular, that's not something that's very popular, it's not a kind of thinking that's very current in the world we live in where it's about personal fulfillment, it's about personal satisfaction – you know, "Is your job personally fulfilling?" I think sometimes that's true. I think sometimes that's not true. But I think that part of our humanness is sometimes just pushing through.
-Br. Robert L'Esperance
Blessings on our journey to re-order time in our lives,

Civil War Diaries
A day in the life, during the Civil War.
For 5th grade Social Studies.
Please choose a "character" from the list provided below, and use the links provided on the Civil War links page to find
out about them. For example, if you choose a soldier, look at links at what life was like on the battlefield.
If you choose a Army nurse, see what their responsibilities and daily activities were like. Feel free to use www.google.com or another search engine to do additional research.
Using the knowledge you have, pretend to be that character and make up information about them. What is your name?
How old are you? Where do you live? What do you feel about the war? Do you have a family, and if you're
away from them, do you miss them?
Using both the factual and fictional stories, write a page from your diary and write about what a day in their life would
be like.
Some examples of "characters" you can choose (although you are free to create your own!) are:
~ A soldier in the Union Army
~ A soldier in the Confederate Army
~ Freed Slave who lives in the North
~ Army doctor/nurse on the battlefield
~ Slave who works on a plantation in the South
~ Plantation owner/ Wife of plantation owner in the South
~ Family member of a soldier who is away at war
For example, if you're a freed slave who lives in the north, even thought you are now free from slavery, do you have
family that still are slaves down south? Maybe you're having trouble finding work because you're African-American, and
you're frustrated about that. How do you feel about the war? Do you think you'll join the army? Maybe you
want to join the army and help the war effort, but you don't want to discriminated against by being put into a "colored unit."
Think about what these people would do with their days, whether it was fighting, working with the soldiers, working on
their farms or plantations, writing to their loved ones, or grieving for the loss of a family member due to the war.
Really try and think about how the events going on around you are affecting how you feel about things.

Carola has been volunteering at the Emergency Food Hamper Program for almost 15 years, giving almost 4000 hours of her time. In the past year alone, she has volunteered 180 hours! Carola's gift of time and energy has not gone unnoticed. It was a joy to have the opportunity to get to know Carola a little bit better.
How did you hear about House of Friendship?
"It's a funny thing really. When I first moved into this neighbourhood, I saw people walking with boxes of food, and I naturally got curious. Where is all this food coming from? I decided to find out for myself by paying a visit to the EFHP. I applied to become a volunteer that day, and I have been here ever since!"
What do you enjoy about volunteering at the EFHP?
"I really look forward to spending time with the people that have become like family to me. I also like that I am able to get out and do something in the community."
What's your favourite job at our program?
"My favourite job here is sorting and folding the donated clothing. We get just about anything! I also used to really enjoy going through the toys. That gave me a chance to play with toys that I never had when I was growing up."
How has volunteering impacted your life?
"The House of Friendship helped us when we first came to Canada from Germany 54 years ago. I wanted to give back for all that the House of Friendship did for my family."
Where did you used to work?
"I used to work at the Red Cross for many years doing home care visits. I also have worked in the kitchen at the Alpine Club."
What kind of activities or hobbies do you enjoy when you aren't working or volunteering?
"I love to be in the kitchen, whether it be cooking or baking, I love it all. My favourite recipe to make is a black forest torte, which is a very rich, chocolaty dessert. I also enjoy sewing, knitting and crocheting. In my 'spare' time, I like to work on crossword puzzles and work in my garden. I also love any time that I get to spend with my three children and three grandchildren."
Carola was kind enough to share her Black Forest Torte with us, enjoy!

Selling A Private Mortgage With Improper Amortization
It never ceases to amaze me at all the funky agreements surrounding many private mortgage notes. What I see most often that make it very difficult to give an accurate mortgage buyer quote is around payment establishing and the resulting amortization issues. Case in point, I had a private mortgage seller wanting a quote on her mortgage note. After getting answers to a few questions, I realized the payment was an arbitrary number and had little to do with a calculated payment based on the other terms of the note. Two things happen when selling a mortgage like this. First, I have to calculate an amortization schedule based on the payment that was agreed upon and 2) Before the mortgage note can be purchased, the mortgage has to match the payment, necessitating a redo of the mortgage documents. So if you want to let your borrower have a payment different from the terms of the mortgage, simply adjust your terms and agreement to match. That way you will make selling a private mortgage much less stressful

Killer Choice
By: Tom Hunt
Published Year: 2018
Publisher: Berkley Books
Pages: 352
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This in no way shape or form influenced my opinion.
Summary (Provided by Goodreads): His wife is sick.
He needs $200,000 to save her.
A mysterious man offers to give him the money with just one catch: He has to murder someone to get it.
Gary Foster's life is finally heading in the right direction. After years of trying, his wife, Beth, is pregnant, and he recently opened a business with his brother. But one phone call changes everything....
After collapsing suddenly, Beth has been rushed to the hospital. Tests reveal a devastating diagnosis: an inoperable brain tumor. Their only hope is an expensive experimental treatment available abroad, with a cost that's out of their reach. And Beth's time is running out....
Then a strange man approaches Gary and offers the money he needs, on one condition: that he kill someone, no questions asked. End one life to save another.
In this nail-biting debut novel of domestic suspense, one man makes a choice that forces him to confront the darkest reaches of his soul and betray those closest to him. As he's swept up in a nightmare of escalating violence, he must question his own morality—and determine just how far he's willing to go to save the woman he loves.
First Impressions
The cover did not appeal to me at all, and honestly, the summary didn't either. I almost passed on reviewing this book, but some part of me went "give it a chance. Maybe you'll be surprised!" Basically, the first impression on this book was not good.
What I thought
Full disclosure, I got through about 65% of this book, felt I couldn't continue, and skipped to the final 10%. Also, as a warning there will be spoilers ahead so that I can talk honestly about what I disliked.
Gary and his wife have been married for almost 20 years. After years of trying, they are finally pregnant. But their lives are changed when she is diagnosed with a brain tumor. When traditional treatment doesn't work, they apply to an experimental trial and find out that it will cost them $200,000 to take part. One day, a stranger calls and offers Gary the $200,000 with one catch. He must kill someone else.
Initially, my reaction was ugh, no. But then I thought about it and I thought that the psychological part of it could be really interesting. Then the book started and it alternated between Gary's perspective and a drug dealing ex-con, Otto. Turns out that HE is the one who wants Gary to commit murder. He wants him to (spoiler) murder a bad cop. But! And this is the big but, it's not for any righteous reason. It's because he has gotten himself into a situation where he owes too many people money. He only has enough money to pay one of the people, and if he doesn't pay both his life is in danger. So he decides to take advantage of an extremely emotionally vulnerable man, by offering him $200,000 to get him out of a situation he got himself into.
Surprise surprise, when Gary does murder the bad cop, Otto doesn't give him the money. Now, I don't mind psychological thrillers, but the level of a drug dealer who was dealing with his own issues is not my thing. I actually almost put the book down at 17% because I knew it wouldn't be my thing. I think part of the hard part of reading about this was that you do get so much from Otto's perspective and you get to see how terrible of a person he is.
I just honestly couldn't deal with a lot of it. I could tell it was starting to get too violent and too convoluted for me.
The saving grace of this novel, and the reason I even made it to 65%, was the writing. It was easy to read and I honestly had no issues with the writing. I would easily pick up another book by Hunt if the synopsis piqued my interest. It was honestly just the story that I couldn't handle. It was not my thing at all.
Obviously the writing got me a little bit, because even though I didn't want to read the rest of the book, I wanted to see how it ended. The good (and maybe bad?) thing was that when I read the ending I was left with a feeling of "I definitely made the right decision."

Three little pigs but no big bad wolf.
Well to be honest it wasn't three little pigs, it was three herds of wild hogs 🙂 I was a bit annoyed at myself since we went out a bit too early before the sun rose this morning. We would come home almost at the same time the sun had risen above the mountains up north. So instead of walking home the usual road I decided that we should go to the creek and follow it upstream till we came to the forest road.
I wasn't to happy about walking in the field before the creek went in to the forest because the grass is pretty high and we had so much dew here this morning that it dripped from the roofs, it actually looked as if it just had stopped raining. I knew we would be soaking wet before we reached the more dry forest. I didn't say much to the dogs while we were walking there, I was more occupied by looking where the grass were as shortest.
I could see that the dogs were a bit exited and took a look across the creek and there they were, the first of the three herds of wild hogs this morning. They did walk away from the creek but both they and I knew that creek would be too much to cross to reach each other, so they were in no hurry. I just stood there watching them until I realised it would be a good idea to take a few photos too so I could show them here. We continued upstream when I once again realised that both Nova and Sune was a bit too exited, we had another group of them in front of us 🙂
They ran away quickly so I never got a chance to take any photos of them. This is not the time to leash the dogs because if the hogs would attack the dogs would have no chance at all to escape but it is a very good idea to have good control of them anyway 🙂 We came out to the forest road and I kept talking loud since I knew we had one group of hogs behind us and one beside us, so I have to say that I was a bit surprised when we suddenly saw a third group of them. This time it was two sows and two rather old piglets. I kept the dogs very close to me since I didn't know if there was a boar nearby. So I stopped being annoyed at myself since I actually had gone out just exactly when I should have 🙂
I got my camera yesterday as You know and it is a Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta 531 and this one was built in Germany just before WW2 started. I didn't think much about what year it was built until I realised from where it was being shipped to me. It turns out the seller lives in Ukraine! I'm not sure I would have bought it if I knew that since Ukraine hasn't been the calmest of countries lately. Well anyway, I started to wonder how a WW2 camera ended up in former Soviet Union. The likelihood that someone would have bought it and imported it to the Soviet Union at that time was slim to none, so how did it end up there?
There's probably a boring reason but my imagination started to work on high speed 🙂 Was it a German soldier who brought it when Germany attacked Soviet? Back in the days this was a fairly expensive camera so I doubt it would be anyone at the front line, perhaps someone coming just behind? Was this camera at the west front when Germany marched in to Paris? and why did it stay in Ukraine? Did the owner freeze to death like so many other soldiers when nothing went their way when winter arrived? Just imagine what stories this camera could teall if it only could speak 🙂
The bellow had a rip in it but that was easily fixed and it has passed the flash light test. The shutter works fine when it comes to high speeds but not so good when it comes to sow speeds. I guess it really would need some new greas, the old kind they used to use has a tendensy to dry up. I'll see if that is something I can do myself, otherwise I'll just use the camera on bright sunny days 🙂
It is time for tea with ginger. I slept a few more hours last night so I guess I'm going in the right direction 🙂
Have a great day!

Usch vad läskigt! Jag är verkligen rädd för vildsvin sen jag sett dom på nära håll (inhägnade). Dom är jättestora och jätteaggresiva. IAF om man kommer mellan dom och ungarna! 😦

such beautiful photos!! Th wild pigs are amazing ,, is there a special season to hunt them? I have heard how dangerous they are, we don't have them in this part of Canada but they do in the western provinces, southerly parts, when I see them it makes me think of an episode of Midsomer Murders where they tied a man to a tree and the wild pigs ate him,, wow, that was disturbing!
I'm glad you are feeling better,,
September 26, 2015 at 1:37 pm
Hi Christer,
Looks like you went out at just the perfect time. The wild hog photos are wonderful but the early morning light on the creek is magical. Those are my favorites.
When I read the bit about three herds of hogs I thought at first you meant that wild hogs were like wild burros. If you have three burros together, you might conclude that you have one herd of three burros but you would be wrong. You have three herds of one burro each. Further on I saw that you did indeed have three herds of hogs. I googled just now to see if hogs have a special English word for their groups and they do. It's called a sounder of wild pigs. Unless you are in Texas where it is 14 cuts and sausages available on request. Trufax. 😀
The new camera looks interesting. It's probable that the camera was "liberated" by a Russian soldier during the invasion of Germany at the end of WWII. He may have emigrated to the Ukraine later on as some Russians did or he may have sold it or passed it on to another Russian who later moved to the Ukraine. Still, the camera moved around a lot and it's story is probably going to remain a mystery. Of course you could always contact the seller and ask if he knows. It's more fun to make stuff up, though. 😉
It sounds like your lungs have returned home and you are on the mend. Mojo for continued and rapid improvement. Coughing is tiring and annoying.
Enjoy the day.
September 26, 2015 at 2:22 pm
Wow, that's scary.
If those pigs turned on you!
ok, more than scary!
I know what you mean about the camera's story.
I often think about the history of old stuff I find at estate sales and such.
Especially my furniture. Who sat on it? what was happening in their lives?
Who used my dresser? what was stored in it's drawers?
I now have an old desk and a little pencil was way back in one of the drawers.
Who used it? what did they write? What is that story?
Yeah, wouldn't it be cool to know?
Great post!
September 26, 2015 at 2:28 pm
Hi Christer! What fantastic photos of the wild hogs! I have never seen wild ones, only ones on a farm, in a stall. That would have been frightening to be sure. We have now wolves up at our cottage, being on our local news warning that they are killing dogs. That's not good. We plan on going out for the day tomorrow and taking only the puppy. They are coming into yards to kill dogs so we will have to keep extra eyes on everything. If its not bears up there its now wolves. Makes me a bit nervous. Great looking "new" camera you got! I too have an imagination just like that. If we are in a place somewhere very old, I always wonder who has been before, what they did, what they said. 🙂 Good imaginations are a great thing! 🙂 I hope you are getting better day by day. I made ginger tea the other night as my son has his cold back, but its already better so its likely just another silly bug creeping around. Have a good day!!
September 26, 2015 at 3:09 pm
Hi Christer,
nice interesting camera! I hope to see photos 🙂
Lots of old cameras and also lots of East-Europeans on our fleamarkets nowadays but I like your WW II story better. Sellers are glad when they can get a few Euros and it helps when it's a Zeiss camera or lens, formerly expensive SLRs are nearly unsaleable. Just today I saw a Canon EOS 1000(?) for 5€. It hurts to see how carelessly these cameras are sometimes handled.
I'm just waiting for the blood moon, ~90 more minutes and the sky is still clear but we might get fog. Waiting and hoping…
Get well!

In the fruit and vegetable world, we rely on the belief we can change or influence consumer behaviour.
For example, we believe we can get consumers to eat more of Fruit A if we design a clever ad campaign. We believe we can get consumers to increase their purchase frequency of Vegetable B if we get the quality and size right. We believe we can get them to eat more of Produce Brand C if we redesign the logo to incorporate more colours and create a fresher feeling.
What if we are wrong? What if our assumptions are flawed? What if the reality is consumers aren't going to eat any more fresh fruit or vegetables unless there is some cataclysmic event in their life or some significant new product development advancement. How would this change our marketing thinking? What would we do differently if we believed traditional marketing methods no longer worked?
The best strategic planning session I ever participated in was for one of the industry groups I work with in Australia. They brought in a 'futurist' but his role wasn't to predict the future, it was to question our assumptions about the future. He made us pose questions to each other like, "We believe our product is healthy. What if data came out from a packaged food competitor that proved it wasn't as healthy as we thought? How would our beliefs…and our accordant strategy change if that core 'healthy' assumption changed?" It was a powerful session.
For a moment, I want you to do the same. I want you to question the belief we can influence or increase consumption. We can't. Now, what would you do? Now how would you spend your dollars?
For me as a marketing strategist, playing with this assumption opens up new opportunity thinking.
For example, given the increasing precedence of disease (diabetes, cancer, stroke), I would do more research to understand the immediate, then short and medium term dietary changes people make when suddenly diagnosed with a serious disease. I would want to know what foods "own" the dietary cure space. For example, when my aunt was diagnosed with cancer, she immediately made dietary changes. She cut out meat, cut out processed foods and overnight started eating more raw fruit, veg and nuts. A week before the diagnosis you could barely get her to look at raw broccoli, after the diagnosis she embraced it. This is what I mean by cataclysmic change. For a range of diseases, who owns the food cure/solution space? This could be easily researched on the web and could lead to new marketing opportunities for fresh fruits and vegetables.
The second area of new opportunity thinking is to look for the inherent untapped phytonutrient goodness locked up in fruit and veg.
Another example. In my blog a while back, I wrote about a well marketed water called function: Urban Detox. To create the product, the development team researched a range of input ingredients looking for ones that had the benefits they were seeking for the drink's very focused target market. One of the extracts they ended up using was a prickly pear extract.
Now, I've marketed some tricky products in my time, so I can't imagine marketing fresh whole prickly pear is easy (although Frieda's in the USA does it well), but think of the traction prickly pear marketing could gain leveraging off the extract work done for the function: Urban Detox water. Suddenly someone outside of traditional fruit and veg marketing has found untapped value in a challenging product to market.
So here's your challenge: I want you to spend a few minutes thinking about what you currently do to drive the sales and consumption of your product. Consider your advertising, your PR, your R&D spend, etc. Got a picture in your head? Okay, now stop. Now, I want you to believe that none of it works, particularly if you are targeting Western markets. No matter how much you spend…or what you do, none of it will drive consumption. Now what would you do? How would you spend those dollars?
As we start to realise the Western stomach is full and people are not going to consume any more total food, working with a "flawed assumption" mindset might be what we need to drive increased consumption.
Your thoughts?

Today is a beautiful Bank Holiday Monday. It should be a pleasant day relaxing.
However ....
One of the chores which has been waiting since last winter is repairing the roof of the garage. Water has been running down the inside wall when it rains heavily, which is not a good thing. Especially as it is leaking down the wall next to the washing machine. So B said he would fix it and today is the day.
Have you any idea how expensive lead is??
The roll of lead flashing is £100. !!!
I am hoping we get something for the lead flashing we have taken off, it must have scrap value otherwise people wouldn't steal it from rooves, so that may offset it a bit.
We have done most of it today. The tiles have been taken off, so have the battens and the felting. He put new membrane on, put insulation in, put the felt and the battens back on and then put the tiles back on. Some of the ridge tiles are so full of cement that we will have to buy some new ones tomorrow and finish them, put on the lead flashing and then we will have a waterproof garage.
Brian is now having a lie down and a rest and deserves it. It was really hot on the roof today. He nearly fell through at one point when he lost his balance which was very scary, but fortunately caught himself on the beam.
Brian is Mr Fixit.

Filed under: Farming, Plant physiology, Warning: contains molecules
Cheryl made me aware of the excellent idea of a synchronised posting about women in technology in honour of Ada Lovelace (my image of whom, for what its worth, was set irevocably and doubtless unreliabley by Bruce Sterling and Bill Gibson in The Difference Engine). I said I'd join in, and my subject is Constance Hartt, about whom I know very little, but whose work is of fundamental importance to people trying to understand the evolution of photosynthesis over the past 30 million years or so, and also to opening up the possibility of radical improvements to various crops.
Hartt was a laboratory researcher at the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association Experiment Station, and her assiduous work on the biochemistry of sugar cane in the 1930s and 1940s convinced her that, for that plant at least, the primary product of photosynthesis is malate, a four carbon sugar. Later carbon-14 studies showed that she was right — and led to an interesting conundrum. Why did some plants — most plants, indeed, and almost all algae — make a three carbon sugar, phophoglycerate, while sugar cane and, it later became clear, various other grasses made a four-carbon sugar?
The answer lies in the process of photorespiration. The enzyme which fixes carbon into phosophglycerate, rubisco, is very ancient and rather easily confused — left to itself it will sometimes grab oxygen molecules rather than carbon dioxide molecules, and instead of making phosphoglycerate makes phosphoglycolate. This is no good to man nor beast nor, most tellingly, plant: recycling the phosphoglycolate made accidentally in this process of photorespiration into a form of carbon that can be used for further photosynthesis takes energy, and thus making less phosphoglycolate in the first place is a good thing. The malate-initiated photosynthesis that Hartt was instrumental in discovering is an evolutionary response to that problem: malate is part of a clever biochemical/physiological supercharger that concentrates a great deal more carbon dioxide into the cells where rubisco is doing its thing, thus making it less likely to commit that costly error with the oxygen.This supercharging system is known as C4 photosynthesis, the 4 denoting the number of carbons in malate; the regular sort of photsynthesis is called C3 in contrast.
C4 photsynthesis confers various advantages: in particular, it makes plants more efficient in their use of water. The mechanisms that concentrate carbon dioxide mean that the pores through which it is taken up, the plant's stomata, don't have to be as wide open as they would be otherwise, and thus less water is lost. C4 plants resist various sorts of stress better, including direct sunlight and salty ground. The mechanism has evolved independently many, many times over the past 30 million years or so, mostly but not entirely in the grasses, which either have a propensity for the sorts of physiological re-design that is required or are particularly prone to finding themselves in the sort of niches where this approach helps, or both. Sugar cane is not the only domesticated or agriculturally relevant example — there's also maize and sorghum, and for energy crops switch grass and miscanthus, among others. There is now considerable interest in building the pathway into some grasses that have not learned it naturally — most importantly rice. C4 rice, with higher water use efficiency and other extra hardiness, might have considerably higher yields than traditional varieties while needing less water (my colleague Emma wrote a little about this not so long ago, though her words are behind the Nature paywall).
This knowledge and potential all flows from the work of Hartt and her colleagues in Hawai'i. It was small scale stuff, and more or less by defintition the team was isolated form the mainstream. Their work was for some time almost forgotten, and may still not be as well remembered as it should be; the elucidation of the C4 pathways took place in Australia a decade or so later, and that work tended, afterwards, to eclipse the discovery work done in Hawai'i. The secondary sources that I have say little about Hartt, other than noting the devoted careful work she invested in the subject, and giving the impression that the team she worked in, led by a sweet sounding Quaker called Hugo Kortschak, was a friendly and happy one.
Do I think she is a great unsung scientist? Well unsung, yes. Great, probably not. But whenever one looks into the history of science — or indeed into the way it goes today — one sees that you do not need to be great to matter, to discover, to move the story on, or to fulfill yourself through it. She and her colleagues, tucked away far from the mainstream, trying to do some good, discovered something of profound importance for science, and perhaps, in time, for technology and humanity. What more is needed?

Update: Gary has some wise words on the subtleties of C3 and C4. His point that C4 plants tend to be protein poor is a good one (though in a higher CO2 world that might even out a bit, as the rubisco content in C3 plants will drop whereas in C4 you'd expect it to stay the same, ceteris paribus) and reminds me of Arnold Bloom's idea that photorespiration might help with nitrate assimilation. His bigger point is that ceteris paribus is a poor way to see the world, and that to concentrate on any single factor, such as C3 v C4, is to overlook a great deal that you should probably be paying attention to. And that's true.

If it were possible, would genetically modifying C3 crops into C4 crops increase their resilience to climate change?
If so, it may be worth doing, in order to protect the agricultural prospects of some areas.
From what I have read, such a genetic modification would be extremely challenging – far more ambitious than anything achieved so far.
That being said, it does seem like sustaining agriculture in a world that is a few degrees hotter may well require the breeding or engineering of new crops.

Boxed Water
I recently had my first encounter with Boxed Water while I was at a concert at The Gorge Amphitheater in Eastern Washington. To eliminate the use of plastic, the venue only sold Boxed Water -- a unique take on the standard bottle of water we all know except in the form of a skinny milk carton. The taste was also not too drastic from that of bottled water.
Not to mention, 76% of the box is from trees. The boxes are compact and capable of folding back into its natural flattened state. Each box is also recyclable.
I adored the minimalism of the brand and the sustainable package design. This environmentally-friendly design concept is a must for all of you eco-conscious creatives!

Happy birthday Queen Elizabeth II!
The Queen, who turns 90 on Thursday, has reigned for more than 63 years and doesn't seem to be slowing down any time soon. Celebrating her birthday in true royal fashion with a family gathering a fancy cake baked by a British reality TV star, a recent report even suggests the monarch is as popular as ever.
Her first official visit to Canada as queen happened in October of 1957, the CBC reports. Her last visit to the Great North was in 2010, as part of a royal tour.
But over the years, the Queen has done and seen it all. From meeting with the country's leaders to celebrating Canada's 100th anniversary to simply taking a fancy ride down the streets of Hamilton, Ont. we go back to the 50s to the 90s to celebrate some of her most nostalgic moments.

Is Mexico Dangerous? 2018 Edition
We've all heard the news.
Severed heads in Ciudad Juarez, Durango and Mazatlan.
Bodies hanging from bridges in Zacatecas and Morelia.
Grenades thrown into nightclubs in Guadalajara and Monterrey.
There's no denying that Mexico does not have the greatest reputation in regards to safety and security. The drug war has wreaked havoc on the country, resulting in nearly 200,000 deaths since the year 2006. Last year, 2017, was the drug war's bloodiest year on record, with over 20,000 drug-related murders.
What does all this mean for a tourist looking to head down south in 2018? Is Mexico safe?
Is Mexico Dangerous in 2018?
Statistically? Yes. Mexico is indeed dangerous. Last year, Mexico was ranked the 22nd most dangerous country, just one spot behind Venezuela, and six Mexican metropolises currently rank among the world's 50 deadliest cities.
Towns and cities near the border, as well as cities on the Pacific and Caribbean coast, have been hit hardest by the violence. States like Veracruz, Guerrero, Nuevo Laredo, Chihuahua, Tamaulipas, Sinaloa and Baja California have all seen huge upticks in murder rates, kidnapping and violent crime.
Luckily for you, Mexico is a big country and there are still plenty of safe places to visit - it's high ranking is mostly due to drug violence, not random crime.
We'll get into that shortly.
Places to Avoid
According to the US State Department, tourists should avoid non-essential travel to the following regions:
Mexico State
The border areas of Michoacan and Zacatecas
Michoacan (except for Morelia and Lazaro Cardenas)
Sinaloa (except for Mazatlan and Los Mochis)
It also advises against driving highways or isolated roads at night, as US citizens have been victims of carjackings and highway robberies. There are a few additional warnings, but the above areas are the main ones you'll want to avoid.
For more detailed information, check out the US State Department website.
Safe Places
Fortunately, there are plenty of places in Mexico that are safe. In the following popular destinations, you shouldn't have many problems.
Mexico City
Puerto Vallarta
Guanajuato (city)
Cancun/Playa del Carmen/Tulum/(drug violence has increased, but it's safe for tourists)
Cabo (drug violence has increased, but tourists are rarely victims)
As you can see, many of the destinations most frequented by foreign travellers are, for the most part, still safe for foreign travellers. Folks can still enjoy many of the country's beaches and major cities without concern.
Is Mexico City Dangerous?
In the 90s, Mexico City had a terrible reputation. Express kidnappings were common place, the murder rate was sky high and the extreme level of pollution was causing health problems.
It wasn't a pleasant place to be.
But, Mexico's capital has made incredible strides since then. Crime and violence have decreased, and pollution is not nearly as much of a problem as it once was.
Mexico City is now safer than many other major cities in Latin America - Bogota, Cali, Rio de Janeiro and Guatemala City - all have much higher rates of crime and violence than the Mexican capital.
For the most part, Mexico City is safe for tourists. But there are some areas you'll want to avoid.
In order to stay safe in Mexico City, I recommend you stay in one of the following neighbourhoods:
Roma Norte
Roma Sur
San Miguel Chapultepec
Del Valle
San Angel
Santa Fe
A few areas you'll definitely want to avoid include:
Centro can also sneak up on you - while it's safe around the presidential palace, it's very easy to walk down the wrong street into the wrong neighbourhood. A friend of mine living in Centro was robbed twice near her house over the span of about 4 months.
Guadalajara is another major city that is more or less safe for tourists. It is best to stay around Chapultepec or Providencia - centro can get ever-so-slightly dodgy at night.
How to Stay Safe in Mexico
There are a few simple measures you can take in order to stay safe in Mexico. To add to some of the ones I covered above (not travelling to places with warnings from the state department, not travelling on highways or isolated roads at night), here are some simple steps you can take to ensure your personal well-being.
- Rent an apartment with a doorman or with a sufficient security system in place (i.e lots of locks!)
-Stay in a hotel in a safe, well-lit area of town
-Don't walk around alone at night - especially if you are unfamiliar with your neighbourhood
-Take UBERS instead of taxis when you can (most big cities in Mexico have UBER)
-Don't buy drugs (if you must take drugs, get a trusted local friend to handle the transaction)
-Avoid getting too drunk in public
-Don't carry credit cards
-Leave the expensive jewellery at home or in your hotel/apartment
- Avoid taking the metro at peak hours (because of pickpockets...this is more for Mexico City)
If you observe basic precautions such as these, it is very unlikely you will be victimized here.
You're also going to want to be careful on buses. Keep your carry-on bag on your lap at all times. Many tourists have been unknowingly robbed on buses, so be vigilant. These thieves are on a whole other level of skillfulness. You may think you'll feel someone's hand in your bag under your seat, but chances are you won't.
What to do if you find yourself in an unsafe situation
If you feel discomfort in a particular neighbourhood, trust your instinct and go back the way you came. You may get an unsettled feeling in your stomach if your body senses you're in danger. Trust this feeling.
If you cannot get out of the neighbourhood, walk with confidence. Head up. If you see a fella sizing you up, stare back at him. Don't break the gaze and don't look at the ground. These folks are looking for easy victims. It won't be worth it for them if they think you might put up a fight. Try to hail a cab outta there as soon as possible.
If you get confronted by a robber or robbers who demand you give them your wallet or phone, don't fight back because they may be armed. Simply say OK and hand over your belongings. Do it quick, but not too quick, or they might think you're reaching for a knife. Don't look the criminals in the eye. Even if it's one guy and he's small, these people normally don't work alone. If you try to fight him or run away, you simply don't know in which doorways his boys are lurking. It's better not to take the risk.
I recommend carrying $25-$100 in cash. It's not too much to lose, but it's enough that the guys robbing you will be satisfied and not cause you harm. So, no less than $500 pesos in your wallet at any given time, and no more than $2000 unless absolutely necessary.
Usually, a robbery of this nature will be without violence. Just comply. Don't carry anything you're unwilling to part with, chalk it up to bad luck and move on. Being robbed as a tourist in Mexico is not a very common occurrence.
*Note: I want to stress that it's VERY important that you don't fight back. Chances are that the guy robbing you will be armed with (at least) a knife. Even if you think you can take the dude in a fight, don't take the risk.
Whether or not Mexico is dangerous depends on where you are, what you are doing and who you ask. Of course, locals living in Tamaulipas will have a different opinion that locals living in, say, Ajijic. The former is one of the least secure places in the country, whereas the latter is one of the safest.
The question of "is Mexico safe?" is complicated. It has some of the most insecure regions in the world, but then again, it has cities that report lower crime rates than Denver or Kansas City.
What I can tell you, though, is that after nearly two years living in Mexico City, and months travelling all over the country, I have never had any issues regarding security. The worst thing that has happened to me has been getting ripped off by a cab driver or two.
It's easy to think that the country's increasing levels of drug violence mean more insecurity for tourists, but it isn't exactly true; they really are two separate worlds. Increasing violence along the border doesn't mean that a traveller can't enjoy spring break at one of Mexico's numerous beach resorts, or that a retiree can't live a nice, quiet life in San Miguel de Allende or Manzanillo.
In closing, I would say don't worry about it! If you have concerns about visiting Mexico due to crime and violence, you should put those fears to rest. There are too many pleasant and beautiful places in this country that shouldn't be ignored.
Book a ticket in 2018 and see for yourself!

You can't understand a city without using its public transportation system.
-Erol Ozan
For two countries sharing the same border, Cambodia and Thailand have much in common but just as many differences. Both are Buddhist countries overrun with motorcycles and street food vendors, both face growing pains related to tourism and populations. But Cambodia's pace feels much slower than Thailand's, with tuk-tuks and bicycles moving in slow motion along dusty roads compared to the furious din of motorbikes cutting through Bangkok's gritty air. And while Bangkok may be the world's hottest city, the heat in Cambodia's cities wasn't as oppressive thanks to more trees and breezes. Or Phnom Penh's Lexus SUV fetish. And then there is the inescapable fact that while Thais enjoyed peaceful life under King Bhumibol in the 1970s, Cambodians suffered at the hands of Pol Pot and the brutal Khmer Rouge. It was interesting to visit Cambodia and Thailand together so I could compare notes on the two, and here are nine urban observations I came away with. Enjoy!
1. Concrete buildings rule, older buildings not so much
After reading this great article on how Japan manages its older buildings, I suspected Southeast Asia may also feel apathetic about preserving its historic architecture. That, in addition to growing populations, rising tourism, a devastating genocide, and simple capitalism, mostly explains the rampant use of concrete in Thailand and Cambodia's urban areas (and even Vietnam). Unlike Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh, Bangkok was littered with massive high-rise buildings, sucking up giant parcels of land once occupied by low-rise commercial buildings or private residences. I'm no fan of skyscrapers because they have a tendency to ruin vistas, add to urban heat islands, and create physical (and social) barriers, so I'll keep this in mind when planning future urban destinations.
2. There is very little infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists...
In Southeast Asia, motorbikes and cars/taxis are king; pedestrians are merely left to fend for themselves. With the exception of a few halfhearted attempts I saw to make cities easier to navigate on foot, I noticed very few adequate sidewalks (aka wide enough and well-maintained with curb cuts) and found myself walking amidst fast-moving traffic most of the time. Because there is so little infrastructure for people walking on the streets, vendors and pedestrians spill onto the busy roads. Unfortunately, officials are reacting to this phenomenon, known as 'the dire need for adequate sidewalks', and banning food vendors in attempt to reduce pedestrian congestion that (gasp!) might slow down vehicular traffic. (Clearly these officials don't grasp the concept of supply and demand, or by supplying more space for cars results in more demand for driving, aka congestion.) As for cyclists, in Bangkok I saw no protected bike lanes, or any signs of biking come to think of it. Outside of the city, and all over Cambodia, biking is much more common.
3. ...But somehow everything seems to flow seamlessly
Despite the craziness of buzzing motorbikes, sputtering tuk-tuks, and speeding taxis, walking with traffic on Thai and Cambodian streets felt fairly safe. Entering the largely ignored crosswalk near Bangkok's Chinatown, to get to the other side of the road pedestrians must thrust themselves into traffic and weave through slowly-approaching cars; while I felt a little uncomfortable doing this at first, I quickly realized that cars would stop for me and I felt more comfortable. Of course, I'm not advocating for running into traffic or ignoring traffic rules, I just think if people move about the city cautiously and aware of their surroundings, a bit of chaos is perfectly acceptable.
4. Trees make a huge difference
With the exception of smashing through a bedroom window during a storm, trees can do no wrong in my eyes. And since concrete is so ubiquitous in cities all over the world, especially in Thailand and Cambodia, keeping or adding trees not only keeps temperatures down and improves air quality but it makes a place so much more inviting. Just look at Angkor's Ta Prohm Temple, where elegant trees grow out of ancient ruins and roots reshape walls. Or city streets with and without natural protection from the elements. Again, trees can do no wrong.
5. Plastic, plastic, plastic
Thais are officially addicted to plastic bags, with more than 600,000 plastic bags used by this city of nine million people every day (that's 1.5 bags a person, a surprisingly low figure); Cambodians are unfortunately no different. While bags are cheap for vendors, their disposal costs local governments millions of dollars annually. And because Thailand is a major producer of plastics, plastics aren't going anywhere. Heck, I even saw special hybrid plastic bag handles for drinks to go in Asia (see photo below), so plastic packaging continues to expand in crazy ways. But while Thailand and Cambodia try to rectify the plastic bag issue, Styrofoam, plastic bottles, and over packaging are also caught up in Southeast Asia's love affair with plastics. And even more tragically, recycling seems non-existent with the exception of a few bins in Cambodia. Sigh.
6. Cheap & plentiful transit options
The fastest and cheapest way to get around Thailand and Cambodia's cities has to be by motorbike taxi. Although the drivers can go fast and helmets are optional, motorbike drivers are experts at weaving through stagnant traffic and rides are generally just a few dollars. Taxis are plentiful and cheap, with prices so low that you wonder how the drivers makes money. And of course the most fun and pet-friendly form of transit in Southeast Asia is bumping along in a tricked out tuk-tuk. (I didn't go so far to try a betjak/rickshaw in Cambodia, although those looked like a lot of fun.)
7. Unlimited (and limited) public transit in Bangkok
Bangkok has more than its fair share of local transit options, with boats, buses, tuk-tuks, motorbikes, taxis, a metro, and even truck beds serving the masses. I managed to try most of the city's transit offerings, and I found Bangkok's metro (MRT) to be interesting and the cleanest system I've ever used. First, single passes come in the form of special tokens and the line to get them can be long (a bit stressful for those in a rush). Then, elaborate door/wall systems keep trains out of view from riders, perhaps a safety precaution to prevent people from falling onto the tracks. Lastly, the metro system seems extensive but not extensive enough, so I rarely took the metro because the stops seemed so far from my final destination. To ride the metro, it costs about $.83, or 28 baht, fairly expensive considering a one-way train ticket to Ayutthaya is only 20 baht.
8. Traveling around the country
While I'm no expert on traveling throughout Southeast Asia after spending a month there, it was interesting to take the train to/from Bangkok and Ayutthaya and a private bus from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap (sadly, it was the off season to take the Cambodian speedboat). Both trips proved that traveling in this area is reliable... and incredibly inexpensive, at $1.20 and $13 respectively. Yes, the air conditioning may be spotty on the bus and tickets/schedules aren't available online, but the scenery along the way more than makes up for it.
9. Religion & the urban landscape
Spirit houses resembling miniature shrines and temples auspiciously dot businesses, driveways, and yards all over Southeast Asia, and colorful temples act as magnets for locals and tourists alike. Buddhism is the official religion of Cambodia what most Thais practice, a fact visitors quickly pick up on. In Thailand, the country is in mourning over the passing of Buddhist King Bhumibol last year (meaning images of him are everywhere) and a large park in downtown Bangkok near the Grand Palace is being turned into an elaborate funeral pyre and ceremony grounds for his final farewell on October 26. This temporary ceremonial ground is no joke, with a 165-foot cremation tower, nine spires, and elaborate pavilions decorated by master artists (read this great article for more information, and this bit of news made me laugh).
10. Pace of life
Compared to Europe and even the Americas, Asia has a decidedly faster pace of life. There is little need for patio furniture and happy hour menus, because people in Thailand and Cambodia seem to be too busy working and hustling to sit outside with a beverage and relax. Being Southeast Asia, food carts with iced coffee catered to tourists, while most locals seemed to forgo the luxury of store-bought coffee and down time.

What was it like before you came to see us?
It was hard getting out of bed. It was hard getting dressed. Picking something up from the floor was very hard. Walking was hard and I limped. Could not lift my legs to get into my truck. Shoulder was always in pain. Fingers swollen
How is it now?

The Woodstock City Council voted Tuesday to establish a controversial tax increment financing district in the city.
The downtown TIF No. 2 will cover parts of the downtown and Route 47 areas. Woodstock has an existing TIF district that is set to expire next year. TIF districts are economic development tools that allow a municipality to offer financial incentives to potential developers.
When a TIF district is created, the property tax base is frozen at its current equalized assessed value for that area. The life of a TIF district typically is
23 years. Any property tax dollars generated on properties in the district above the set EAV over the course of that period are put into a separate account to be used for development projects in the TIF area.
The new TIF district will have a base EAV of $26 million, which represents the 2017 value of the 536 parcels in the proposed area. The figure is 5.7 percent of Woodstock's total EAV, according to city documents.
The existing TIF was established in 1997, and its fund has a deficit of more than $300,000. City Manager Roscoe Stelford said the fiscal 2019 budget has a surplus to its TIF fund to address the deficit.
"We have an idea of how much increment the TIF will generate in a given year, mostly taking into account how mature this TIF is, with only a couple of years left," Stelford said. "If we spend less than the increment, we create surplus to address deficits in fund balance."
The Woodstock School District 200 and McHenry County College boards have been critical of the plan. School leaders have said they are concerned that the TIF district will attract housing developments, which in turn will bring new students to the area without bringing any new tax dollars.
City Council member Gordon Tebo, a retired District 200 educator, said a good school district needs a strong municipal base.
"I truly don't believe the schools will be hurt by this TIF," he said. "I have heard some sound arguments and things that do concern me, but the majority [of residents I have talked to] are well aware of what the TIF could do, and support it."
A handful of people spoke in opposition of the TIF plan during a contentious public comment period Tuesday night, which at times led to back-and-forth verbal spars between council members and TIF district opponents.
Woodstock resident Michael Rein, a former McHenry County Board member, said he would like to see the vote tabled and a question put to voters in a referendum. He also questioned the timing of the vote, as three City Council members – Dan Hart, Maureen Larson and Mark Saladin – will be vacating their seats after the consolidated election in April.
City Council members unanimously voted in favor of establishing the TIF district. Hart recused himself from the two-hour discussion and vote.
"I think this is an opportunity for the city," Saladin said. "If we think development will just happen, we are being naive. We need to be able to compete with the state of Wisconsin and neighboring communities."
Council member Mike Turner has supported the plan from the start, saying he has a "pro-growth" and "pro-economic development" bias.
"TIF is one of those issues that generates tremendous intensity and difference of opinion," he said. "It is one of the more difficult things to understand. There are complexities that create uncertainty. But … I believe this investment and approach is absolutely worth considering."
Council member Jim Prindiville said he thinks the district offers another economic development tool in the city.
"Overall, this program we are entering into is in the best interest of the community," he said.
Larson said there still are "uphill battles" to development ahead, even with the district in place.
"As we have looked at the TIF, I have concluded that more will get done, and it will get done better," she said. "There is a cost to what doesn't get done. There is a cost to being a stagnant community. ... I believe this tool is necessary for us to lift up [the area]."
The City Council already has told the developers of seven projects that TIF money could be available for, some of which included housing in the downtown area.
City leaders have said Woodstock doesn't intend to take on debt with any projects associated with the TIF, as it did more than a decade ago.
Woodstock issued about $2.5 million in bonds to help clean up the old Die Cast site, now known as Woodstock Station, and still is paying it off. Debt payments will conclude in December 2021, Stelford said.
The site, on McHenry Avenue north of the Square and railroad station, formerly housed a manufacturing facility and was contaminated.
Several developers have expressed interest in building housing units on the property since its rehabilitation, but the projects never were fully realized.
A new developer recently came forward and requested reimbursement for a housing complex on the site if the new TIF district was approved.

Master's Luncheon with Chap Clark: Discipleship - Fuller
Seattle Presbytery
Jan 9, 12:15-1:15 pm at Fuller
Master's Luncheon with Chap Clark: Discipleship--What Does It Mean?
Discipleship: What does it mean theologically, and what does it mean in today's church? Most of us in ministry have a more or less working definition of "discipleship" that is roughly based on Matthew 28, "Go and make disciples of all nations." But how often do we step back and ask the question, What does it actually mean to "make disciples"? Is our "working theology" an accurate take on our "Biblical theology"? That, then, begs the question, does what we do and communicate about "discipleship" reflect what we actually believe?
At this brown-bag lunch, we will take a careful and honest look at both questions in a discussion led by Dr. Chap Clark, Associate Provost for Regional Campuses and Strategic Projects.
Don't forget to pack a lunch! Some light snacks will be available.
Address: 101 Nickerson St., Ste. 330 Seattle, WA 98109
Contact Person: Rachel Tench, 206-284-9000 or email@example.com
RSVP: Yes By: January 9, 2012

Aerolite is available in three sizes - 43", 50" and 55" - a design added to Crestar's range of quality ceiling fans, Aerolite boasts a slimmer body and comes equipped with five aerodynamic polycarbonate blades. Perfect for households that wish to converse their electricity bills.
This is my 10th ceiling fan which I have bought from Crestar. Visited their showroom in Singapore and it was amazing as I got the opportunity to see the many different designs of ceiling fans (silver, matt, grey & black). I liked the sales service.
Mr Orlando
Excellent aftersales service rendered. I called on Monday and the servicing for my silver ceiling fan's DC motor was scheduled on the very next day. The fan was fixed in less than 20 mins. Super efficient.
Mdm Koh
Thank you Crestar for the swift response and professional sales service. It makes the whole sales experience sweet and efficient. I am very happy with my silver ceiling fan installed in my BTO flat. The DC motor is silent and saves energy.

Today marks the end of my "30-Day Raw Food Vegan"-turned-"Raw Till 4" Challenge. I have to start off by saying that I feel like I complete and utter failure. So far in my experience with 30-Day Challenges, I haven't had a challenge go as poorly as this one. Writing about it publicly on Think Wilder compounds my embarrassment even more. Ultimately, I could have lied about my experience and published a post about how wonderful it was, but I would prefer to be honest to both my readers and myself and admit my faults without reservation.
When I first set out to start the challenge, I was feeling inspired by The 80/10/10 Diet by Douglas Graham. My original plan was to attempt a 30-Day Challenge of eating nothing but fully raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. During the first week, I decided to switch over to a Raw Till 4 challenge instead. The reasoning behind this decision included not feeling satiated with the diet, financial issues, anecdotal reports attacking Graham's reputation, and a lack of scientific evidence about fully raw vegan diets. That setback was uncomfortable for me, but I published my decision here anyway.
A few weeks into the Raw Till 4 diet, I cheated a few times here and there. Meals like biscuits and gravy instead of a smoothie for breakfast, and rice and lentils instead of a fruit monomeal for lunch started to sneak into my diet. Don't get me wrong - I still ate a mostly-Raw Till 4 diet, just not entirely.
My experience with failing at this challenge has been a disappointing and humbling learning experience. For the most part, my past results with 30-Day Challenges have been consistently excellent. I have chosen a challenge and stuck to it without any issues. Somehow, this particular challenge seems like it is still out of my grasp. I realized that I am not quite ready to participate in a fully raw (or Raw Till 4) lifestyle at this time. It is incredibly difficult for me to admit this failure publicly, but I know it is the right thing to do.
As a result of my failure to complete the challenge as originally promised, I cannot honestly write a report about the effects I experienced. I would prefer to save a challenge report for when I have actually successfully completed the challenge.
This may leave you wondering what is next for 30-Day Challenges on Think Wilder and whether I plan to attempt this particular challenge again. Well, I will be brainstorming for a while on a new challenge to attempt and will write about that one here as well - hopefully with better results. With regard to the fully raw/Raw Till 4 challenge, I do plan on attempting it again in the future. After a few years of watching videos on YouTube from my favorite raw foodists, I am still inspired by the raw food movement and would like to give it another try. It just clearly wasn't the right time for me to do it.
Thank you for following the progress of this challenge and please be assured that it is not the last 30-Day Challenge I will attempt, nor the last time I will be writing about raw veganism! Until next time, try something new and keep thinking wilder.

It's reported new Commissioner will travel in armoured vehicle accompanied by team of armed gardai.
Sligo News File.
There is clearly no shortage of recruits for the gardai but despite this it appears that the government is planning to pull in new policing staff from outside the country.
Justice minister Flanagan has said the garda inspectorate proposes in a Review "that a programme be developed to recruit experienced police officers from police services in other jurisdictions.
"I have sent the Review to the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland to consider in the context of its forthcoming Report which will bring forward to Government proposals on the future of policing including on the appropriate composition and recruitment methods and routes into the Garda Síochána," he said.
The incoming garda commissioner, Harris, a member of the Police Service of Northern Ireland, is meanwhile expected to take up his new role in September. A"competitive remuneration package" for the job is understood to include a salary of upwards of €250,000.
According to reports, he will be protected by an armed Garda security team when he takes up duty in the State.
It's also reported that a heavy armoured vehicle of the type used in Northern Ireland or world trouble spots will be recommended for the use of the new commissioner, as well as which a full-time team of armed close protection Garda officers will be posted to his security detail.

VICTOR A180 blue/white
This light weight model shortens the contact time on the court thanks to the low-cut outsole. As a result, the response time decreases significantly, while fast and dynamic movements benefit from the improved flexibility. The tyre-like profile provides excellent grip on the court floor and is supplemented by small flex grooves in the outsole of the forefoot area which enables a natural motion and thus a high wearing comfort.
