I heard there was a vacancy in Rome, so I have decided to throw my mitre into the ring to be the new pope. I figure by the time the Cardinals get around sending out their smoke signals I could already be planning Vatican III!
There are a handful of cardinals who are rumored to be in the running, though no clear leader has emerged. I'm figuring to get the endorsement of the Arizona Cardinals football team (or the logo anyway), who at least outweigh the poseurs assembling in Rome.
When not in the conclave in the Sistine Chapel, these scaredy cat cardinals are staying closely guarded in the Domus Sanctae Marthae, a Vatican residence. They are banned from contact outside the conclave, including the use of cell phones, social media and the Internet. What's the big deal?
I, on the other hand, have no such restrictions.
There's a new sheriff in town
As the new pope, I'm fixin' to make several key changes:
1. Optional celibacy and marriage allowed
2. Female priests allowed
3. Contraception allowed
4. Papal infallibility changed from "matters of faith and morals when speaking ex cathedra" to "matters of grammar and punctuation when speaking ex couchus"
5. No more "insta-saints" ─ that is, beatification and/or sainthood without proper waiting period, a la fast-tracking of Mother Teresa.
6. No more pedophilia and molestations. This time we're not kidding around.
7. No more cover-ups of pedophiliacs and molesters, especially including hustling them off to unwitting parishes
8. No more weekly confessions; instead we'll have an annual "Olly Olly Oxen Free".
9. Heaven is now the default option. In other words, you automatically go to heaven unless you opt-out in favor of your own version of paradise or nirvana. This overcomes a major theological dilemma of the ages: What to do with all the pagan babies, rain-forest-dwelling tribespeople, Eskimos, aborigines and other inadvertently unsaved innocents.*
In other business, we'll be declaring a moratorium on certain annoying words and phrases:
1. "sequester" or "sequestration" (except for when I retreat to Castle Gandalf, formerly known as Castle Gandolfo)
2. "reached out to" when "contacted" or "called him" will do
3. "How's everything tasting?" at restaurants (would you say, "How's that Pepsi/Sprite/bottle of wine tasting?")
4. …and the excessively good buddyish "You have a good day now!"
New papal name
Obviously the choice of a papal name is key to the success of His Vicarness. Therefore, I put the question to a key community of the faithful on the official Holy Roman website, "Faciem Libro," with these results (in no particular order):
1) Veedsus I
2) Nebuchadnezzar III
3) Beelezebub II
4) Judas D'Scaredycat
5) Barabbas II (a prominent misunderstood social vigilante of the 1st century)
6) Papa Veedgilus I
7) Pope Vinediddler
8) Nebuchadeiffer
9) Debauchadieffer
10) Popee McPoperton
11) Popus D'Opus
12) Pope Victor Veedsus V (has the advantage of a snappy "VVV")
13) Pope Moishe or Pope Moses (we'd like to see the Cardies turn down such a distinguished Old School name!)
Judging by some of the silly names, apparently many of the FaciemLibro folks were too busy playing "Angry Cardinals" and "Farm Villa" to take this seriously. However, one name has emerged that seems to be favored by all constituencies:
Joe d'Pope†
Has kind of a nice Italian feel to it, eh?
*In the old days, of course, we had Limbo and Purgatory to play with but they were, at best, theological stopgap measures, pretty much ruined by indulgence-selling and doctrinal disputes, not to mention no one really knew what kind of lifestyle was involved. Nevertheless. as my brother-in-law remarked, "But won't this let evil persons in?" To this we say, "Wouldn't it better to let an evil man in than keep an innocent babe out?" Moreover, we suspect that certain naughty types might prefer to go downstairs rather than be bored to tears in an eternal milk-bath existence with the likes of Ghandi and Mother Teresa. Indeed, we're not naming any names, but certain people might like to be with their relatives.
"Faciem Libro" (snicker) sometimes I just kill myself.

The idea that there exists a time where innovation and creativity would cease in our world, is nothing short of ludicrous. So why do people strive for perfection? There is nothing wrong with wanting to complete something to the best of your ability. In fact, I'm a huge advocate of giving 100% in everything you do; however, what we need to understand is that anything and everything, will and can be improved.
If perfectionism is such a great idea to abide by, then why do most self-proclaimed perfectionists only apply this concept to their work instead of their entire life? To me, a true perfectionist, is someone who strives for perfection in every facet of their life. Personally, I would describe someone who is able to do the above as a prodigy amongst the genius; and I'm certain an individual of this calibre doesn't exist.
Concerning Perfectionism
It is commonly believed that perfectionists are less productive, but I've found this to be wrong. In fact, perfectionists are actually more productive than their 'average' counter-parts. Reason being, they are always striving for the best in what they do. They spend more time completing a piece of work and even redraft it many times, but I wouldn't go as far to say that this makes them less productive. This however, may lead to frustration and self-destruction of one's own work or life.
Once perfectionism has become a habit, the individual may begin to dismiss ideas that would appear first in their heads because they don't feel the work they have presented is 'perfect' enough.
Taking it further, couldn't perfectionism end up ruining your relationships? You may start to look down on other people, treating them as if they're 'mediocre', resulting in an increase of expectation from other people and this is destructive to your mental health.
It is better to get your work/idea seen by people who you can trust, those who can offer an alternative perspective on how to further improve it.
Innovation and Creativity will never cease to exist. Don't reject your thoughts. Get all your thoughts on paper first; cultivate and then eliminate, it's much more effective.

Chemical analysis of stream, river and rainfall samples for lowland rivers in the UK. The data are uncensored and provide a basis for research purposes, and must be viewed in this light. Information on analytical methodologies is available, including detection limits, from which the user can choose how the data might be interpreted. The basins studied were the Tweed, Wear, Humber, Great Ouse and Thames. One tributary (the Teviot) and two main-stem sites were monitored in the Tweed Catchment. One site around two-thirds down the catchment of the River Wear was monitored. Humber Basin Monitoring was undertaken for all the tributaries especially near their downstream limits. The Great Ouse was monitored around half way down the catchment. The Thames catchment was monitored upstream and downstream of sewage inputs to the river, prior and post effluent stripping of phosphorus. This work formed part of a major UK initiative introduced in the early 1990s, the Land Ocean Interaction Study, LOIS, to examine water, chemical and sediment fluxes from the eastern UK rivers to the North Sea. The entire LOIS core monitoring data, including a wider range of determinands, is available from EIDC. As part of this and subsequent work, the initiative was extended to examine a range of catchment basins, from rural to agricultural and industrial/urban impacted ones.
Publication date: 2010-12-31
This dataset is part of the following
Water quality was monitored for eastern UK rivers (Tweed and Humber) as part of the Land Ocean Interaction Study, LOIS, in the early 1990s. Subsequently, the monitoring was transferred to the Wear, Great Ouse and most extensively to the Thames Basin and for the latter, rainfall was also measured . The chemical analysis undertaken within the LOIS programme was undertaken within CEH laboratories at Wallingford (then Institute of Hydrology), Ferry House (Institute of Freshwater Ecology, Windermere) and associated CEH laboratories at York and Stirling. The later analysis was undertaken by the CEH Wallingford Laboratories with phosphorus data for the Wear was measured in collaboration with Professor Brian Whitton at the University of Durham. All data collated by Colin Neal of CEH Wallingford

Why it is no surprise that Jose Mourinho did not let Romelu Lukaku take the Manchester United penalty
Romelu Lukaku has not scored a goal in six Manchester United games. His barren run dates back to the 0-0 stalemate at Anfield in mid-October. Before that, there was a late tap-in on an otherwise difficult day against Crystal Palace and before that, a confident, commanding brace at CSKA Moscow.
Against Benfica on Tuesday night, the striker lacked any of the swagger on display in Moscow. He look zapped, meeting the ball awkwardly and spurning the few opportunities that came his way, but he could have made a return to the scoresheet had his manager allowed him to take a 78th minute penalty, United's second of the match.
Lukaku had the ball in his hands almost as soon as substitute Marcus Rashford, fouled by Benfica's Andreas Samaris, had rose to his feet but Jose Mourinho was insistent on the sidelines. He wanted it to be handed to someone else.
Many managers would see this scenario as an ideal opportunity to boost the confidence of an out-of-sorts striker but Mourinho, evidently, did not. His decision to give Daley Blind the responsibility to score from the spot provoked questions in the post-match press conference.
"I don't understand why everyone asks me the same," the United manager said in response. "I'm paid to take decisions good or bad. In the first half, the decision was bad because the player I chose to take the penalty [Anthony Martial] missed. In the second half I made another decision."
That was as far as Mourinho's explanation went. It was hardly an endorsement of a player who, just a day earlier, he had described as "untouchable"; one who he felt had to protect from unfair criticism due to his recent struggles to find the net.
Yet while a cheap goal may have lightened Lukaku's mood and the snub could well damage his morale, the decision to stop him taking the penalty tied in with what Mourinho has said about the striker time and time again in recent months: Lukaku's contribution should not be measured in the number of goals he scores.
It is the kind of platitude that managers will often use when asked about struggling strikers, but in fairness to the United manager, he was saying the very same when there was talk of Lukaku equalling Wayne Rooney's all-time goal-scoring record at Old Trafford.
"I think he also deserves credit for that because of the way he plays, the way he is committed, what he does with and without the ball, not just the last touch and the goal but his overall contribution," he said back in September, when Lukaku had six goals from his opening six games. "We couldn't be happier."
And again, after the Crystal Palace win and Lukaku's last goal, which equalled Andy Cole's club record of scoring seven in his first seven Premier League games: "I am happy with him. It doesn't matter if he scores or not.
"Lukaku is not just about the goals he scores," he added. "He is about the way he plays and allows other people with different qualities than him to have conditions to shine and perform."
It is always difficult to take Mourinho at his word given his propensity to be political and spin things in certain lights, but at the time of these particular quotes, he could simply have joined the chorus of praise for Lukaku's prolific start. Instead, he pulled the focus away from his goal-scoring and pointed out the Belgian's all-round qualities that have helped make United's attack more versatile and effective.
It is, after all, hard to disagree with him when he says that Lukaku, whether he is scoring or not, has turned United into a different proposition this year. Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford have hugely benefitted from having a focal point that is more mobile and perceptive to runs in behind than Zlatan Ibrahimovic, while Lukaku's physical presence means United have lost nothing when the ball is played aerially.
On Tuesday, for the second consecutive match, Lukaku had a significant hand in the match-turning goal in a tight game against a formidable opponent, setting up Nemanja Matic to shoot on the cusp of half-time.
Granted, that Matic's strike went in had less to do with the quality of the preceding pass and more to do with a wicked deflection off the back of Benfica goalkeeper Mile Svilar. With it being correctly awarded as an own goal too, Lukaku cannot claim the assist, but he was there all the same, spotting the space Matic was in, picking the right pass, following up on back-to-back league assists against Huddersfield Town and Tottenham Hotspur.
It was the highlight of a poor and, some might say, quite embarrassing night for Lukaku, but ever the pragmatist, Mourinho will not worry whether his £75m striker needs a pick-me-up unless his performances start to affect United's ability to get results.
So far, they have not, so why is now the time to give him a 'pity penalty'?

Context: Asthma is a chronic disease of children and adults that has been increasing in prevalence in recent years and requires continual medical care.
Objective: To document the current level of care for asthmatics at Maple Street Clinic and provide a basis for which to implement a chronic care module.
Design: A retrospective chart review from 1/01/02 to 6/01/03 evaluating several parameters that reflect the current quality of asthma care in comparison to the National Institutes of Health Asthma Guidelines.
Setting: The study took place at the Maple Street Clinic a family practice clinic in Forest Grove, Oregon in which asthma is their second most common managed chronic illness.
Patients and other Participants: Those patients billed for asthma numbered 204 between 1/1/02 to 611103. a random sample of 100 patients was taken from the 204 charts that met the inclusion criteria.
Main Outcome Measures: The number of asthma exacerbations, emergency visits, hospitalizations, clinic visits, educational interventions, and patient monitoring.
Results: The populations more likely to have adverse outcomes are adults, women and smokers. 56% of study population did not receive educational interventions. 4% of patients had asthma action plans, and 13% had pulmonary function testing. Severity rating and ethnicity documentation were inadequate for analysis.
Conclusions: Asthma care at the Maple Street Clinic needs improvement and a preventative focus. Adherence to the National Institutes of Health Guidelines for Asthma and implementation of a chronic care module that includes an asthma registry and flow sheets would improve asthma care.
The digital version of this project is currently unavailable to off-campus users; however, it may be requested via interlibrary loan by eligible borrowers from Pacific University Library. Pacific University Library is a free lender. (Library Use: NL)

For the past few years, I've been an ardent believer in the promise of distributed in-memory data processing. The first time I took a Hive job, re-wrote it in Spark and saw it returned 10 times faster I was a believer. Since then, I've done a lot more impressive things in memory -- whether that be Alluxio, Apache Spark or MemSQL, these systems offer a lot of good things. As I've explored more tools to manage and process data, I've found myself in the Apache Ignite ecosystem. If you're not familiar with Apache Ignite, take some time to read about it or watch this excellent tutorial. Apache Ignite is great and I'll cover some of the cool things about it in this post. This post is, however, not about Ignite, but specifically about how distributed in-memory computing is a promise and expense.
Distributed In-Memory Cache
The Promise
Distributed in-memory cache provides a great a way to reduce latency and computational overhead in many systems. I've used Memcached and Couchbase as a caching system in the past, and they do a fantastic job of their intended us case. Simply put, most caches are key-value stores and they allow quick lookups, typically on high performing hardware. Apache Ignite's "Data Grid" platform takes it a step further, allowing for a purely in memory cache and a SQL API on top of it. It is pleasant to use, and allows for a wider array of applications to be developed on top of caching.
The Expense
The negative side of caching is handling the logic and keeping data in sync with a database. This process can be relatively automated or it could be a complete nightmare contingent on the system you implement. Additionally, the memory centric hardware required to run a good cache in memory is quite expensive and running it all in a distributed fashion will add operational overhead. For the right use case, they can be a life saver. For architectures that already leverage distributed systems and have the operational support it can be a fantastic alternative.
Notable Projects: Redis, Apache Ignite Data Grid, Infinispan
In Memory Distributed File System
The Promise
Over the years, I've worked professionally with Hadoop, Ceph and GlusterFS, becoming acquainted with distributed file systems. They offer a cheaper, and more robust alternative to traditional databases and data warehouses. The Hadoop Distributed File System is perhaps the most well know and well use and a whole ecosystem has sprung up around building applications on top of Hadoop. Most of these file systems are on disk, but Alluxio and Apache Ignites distributed file system are both implemented in memory. These would give you all the benefits on the on-disk file system with much increased performance and the ability to even create your own caching layer.
The Expense
Distributed file systems are complex and adding an in-memory layer with its compression and limitations add operational overhead. You wouldn't replace an on disk distributed file system with an in-memory one, rather you would extend it. One thing of note is that I distributed file systems were designed to run on commodity hardware and to be a cheaper alternative to Databases. This is simply not true of in-memory distributed file systems. They are expensive because memory is much more expensive than disk.
Notable Projects: Alluxio, Apache Ignite In-memory file system
Distributed In-Memory Compute
The Promise
Apache Spark is perhaps the most well-known project that performs distributed in-memory computation. With its long list of APIs and ergonomics built around the Resilient Distribute Dataset (RDD) most of the complication about doing computation in this way are obfuscated away from the end user. This has been good for my career and happiness as I've been able to use a wider array of systems and expect the same outcomes because of Spark. Once a cluster of machines is running, submitting new jobs to it is trivial. Also, notebook environments like Juypter, Zepplin and Beaker are fantastic for data science and reproduction.
Even more, platforms like Amazon Athena make this process even easier by providing a way to use these APIs without worrying about standing up your own hardware.
The Expense
The expense of doing computing this is mostly found in the hardware needed to do it at scale. Both the dollar cost and the operation overhead of setting up a cluster, using Mesos or Yarn, and handling failures are all non-trivial. As established already, memory centric machines are among the most expensive to provision on many of the compute platforms. Becoming good at Mesos is a profession in and of itself and long-running jobs are just part of doing this work.
Notable Projects: Apache Spark, Apache Flink, Apache Beam, Apache Ignite, PrestoDB
Distributed In-Memory Database
The Promise
We've already established that querying data, doing computation and almost everything is faster in memory than on disk, so it's no different for a database. We could store all our data in-memory and access it with SQL. MemSQL and Apache Ignite both offer this capability. The appeal of doing this should be obvious. Take MySQL or Postgres and shove it all in memory, distribute it with the same APIs, it sounds like a good time and it is a good time.
The Expense
In-Memory Databases require tons of memory, since you are trying to 1-to-1 put data from disk to memory. Additionally, they need memory to just operate, and they tend to need A LOT of it. Operationally, both MemSQL and Apache Ignite don't have any glaring "gotchas" and are fairly beginner friendly. In my opinion, these Databases are better used for distinct use cases, like an analytics layer or real-time needs and not for application layer.
Notable Projects: MemSQL, Apache Ignite IMDB
Distributed in-memory data processing is here to stay and we should see more projects come up that take advantage of it. Overall, the tooling is very good and relatively mature. If costs are a concern, there are often better options than going with these solutions and even if costs are not a concern there are some considerations with using memory centric solutions in each of these domains. Consider each carefully, experiment and test the ergonomics!

Iran is likely to open talks with opposition groups if it appears that Assad is doomed, said Meir Javedanfar, an analyst on Iranian affairs based in Israel. Iran has too much at stake in Syria to risk being cut out if Assad is ousted: huge Iranian investments in Syrian projects such as an auto assembly plant and a cement factory and possible loss of influence over Hezbollah and Hamas.
'When it comes to looking after its own interests, the Iranian regime is very pragmatic, especially since they know that Assad would do the same to them if the shoe was on the other foot,' said Javedanfar. 'When it comes to choosing between friendship and its own interests, to Iran's rulers the former is easily expendable.'

An incredible gaming PC for as little money as possible. So, depending on the place you're getting it from, chances are you'll want a separate mounting bracket. Long story short: this is the very best gaming LAPTOP construct for $500. Once more, our finances does not dictate a more expensive motherboard as it might decrease our budget for a graphics card.
A card like the GTX 1070 is greater than what you want for 1080p 60 frames per second. So, depending on your workload, you will want to go together with one or the opposite. Exterior of doubling the number of RAM sticks, improve potential is limited by the mATX kind factor and, more importantly, the B250 chipset's meager 12 lane PCIe three.zero I/ potential.
Total, we really feel this construct is a good mix of maximizing performance and functionality. (It's also our high decide for best funds SSD) Sure, you won't have the ability to keep a large recreation library loaded without delay, however it's enough for a handful of video games on prime of your OS.
There's not much profit to sky-high RAM clocks, significantly with the i5-8400, so actually it is about finding a very good balance. It's going to boot up and cargo video games shortly, and perform effectively enough within the newest games. Storage is without doubt one of the most subjective parts of any build, as folks can have wildly different opinions on how a lot storage they want in their rig.
As firms proceed to adapt to Ryzen, these will seemingly be pointless. Very like a lot of the elements in this construct, the ASRock B250M Pro4 is a price range-minded motherboard. This makes the GTX 1080 a significantly better value than at launch, with playing cards out there for around $500, generally even cheaper on sale.

Chevron Chair before and after....
Again, I dug into a project and forgot to take a "before" shot!
I remembered to take a picture about half way through the Kilz stage...so this is as good as it gets! Imagine dark, dated and basically kind of ugly.....
Dark wood. I'm a big fan of pretty wood, but I knew painting this chair a light color would really make it pop...and really update it! Not only was it a seriously ugly stained wood, it had a seriously ugly cushion on the seat, and another on the back. I decided not to put a cushion on the back because I love the cane and it was in mint condition...a rarity! I added a little "puff" to the seat cushion and eliminated the buttons to make the chair a little more comfortable and give it a "cozy" look.
Chevron...not my "taste" and honestly not something I would decorate with. But it is all the rage right now and I knew if I was going to make this chair appealing to a buyer, I had to go with what is in. And of course, this is "Razorback country" so anything red and white is going to be appealing!
So Chevron it is....
As always, two coats of kilz, sanding and tack cloth! Then two coats of a pretty "off white" spray paint I am a little obsessed with right now. It is a Valspar brand and it is not too white, not too yellow...just right.
It does need a little pillow...and eventually, if it doesn't sell right away, I will make one.
But for the next few days I need to get ready for VACATION!!!! Yippppeeeee!
Brian and I are headed to Colorado Friday for a week...sight-seeing, fly fishing, maybe even a little horse back riding. Just a week to decompress and take in the fall colors! The Aspens in Colorado in September are absolutely BREATH-TAKING!!! If you have never been, go. I love skiing and I love the snow, but Colorado in fall is a must see!
So this will be my last post for a week or so! I will make sure I post some pictures when we get home.
When I get home, it will officially be fall so it will be time for some major home decorating. Fall is one of my favorite times of the year...especially for decorating!!! As you can see here I usually go all out...I can't wait!!!

Nakoda Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrades
Morley, AB
ISL was engaged by the Stoney Nakoda Tribal Administration to conduct a performance review and operational assessment of the Nakoda Entertainment Resort's Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Operational Concerns
Some of the operational concerns were plugged drum screen blinds, insufficient air scour of the membrane and membrane cassettes, surging permeate pumping systems and a less-than-expected lifespan of the membranes.
The operational assessment included a full evaluation of the headworks, wastewater tankage, membrane bioreactor, permeate flow, composite samplers, chemical containment and human-machine interface. A visual inspection of the membrane bioreactor tank showed that the aeration system was not functioning as optimally as intended.
Secondary Train
In the short term, we recommended introducing a second process train to provide redundancy so that, while maintenance was being conducted on one train, the flow can be treated through the second process train.
An extensive list of upgrades was provided to the client, along with a cost-versus-benefit analysis to help the client schedule priority repairs and upgrades.

Carbon footprint in burger chain
The BBC's Tom Burridge dines out at a Swedish fast-food chain that is trying to discourage people from eating too much meat by publishing the carbon footprint of each item on its menu.
As soon as I am through the door of the brightly lit Max Burger restaurant in central Stockholm, spokesman Par Larshans insists I eat not one, but two of their fast-food snacks.
I watch as burgers are assembled behind the counter by a line of workers and wrapped at an incredible speed.
It's the illuminated menu, above their heads, that is the real reason for my visit. Max Burger claims to be the first restaurant chain in the world to publish CO2 emissions on its menu.
From the methane produced by the cows, to the machinery used on the farm, through to the emissions produced by the abattoir and the lorries which move the meat around - the weight of CO2 represents the carbon footprint of that meal.
'Less-meat' products
Beef production emits high levels of carbon dioxide when compared to other foods. So why on Earth does a restaurant chain that sells mainly beef want to advertise how bad its products are for the planet?
Par Larshans insists they are not "shooting themselves in the foot" and is quick to remind me of the "less-meat products" on the menu.

2014 Diary/
Happy New Year, good people!
What better way to bring in 2015 than to reflect on 2014?! Well, that's what this blog post is about. It is the highlights, if you will, of last year.
In 2014, I started a personal campaign diary and wrote down all of the new, exciting, and abnormal things that I've done (accomplished). This list remained as an email draft until today, and it was the first time I read it over. It was interesting to read fragments of my life in a year. All in all, I thank God for the highs and lows of twenty fourteen--they were all worth it! I hope you enjoy my journey. I'm thinking of continuing this diary theme throughout 2015.
What do you think?
-Tried chitterlings for the first time
-Saw Mali Music in concert, again
-Got a new job within a week of layoff from another
-Joined a new church
-Celebrated my 1-year book anniversary for "SoKoDiaries: An American Teacher Living in South Korea"
-Made potato salad for the first time
-Drove to San Diego w/o dying of fear over the Pacific Ocean
-Got on a boat (San Diego harbor tour)
-Experienced San Diego's nightlife
-Experienced my first rooftop party at the Marriott hotel
-Saw my first Marvel movie, Captain America (or was it called something else?)
-Went to Atlanta
-Experienced my first Alumni Step Show
-Ate brunch at BJ's restaurant (Fox Hills Mall) for the first time. The french toast was awesome! I met the cook who said that he would hook us (my aunt & I) up next time we go to the restaurant since my aunt's french toast wasn't cooked all the way
-Didn't celebrate Cinco de Mayo, but I ate an abnormal amount of Mexican food (more than I normally eat)
-Had a milkshake and felt like Kelis (i haven't had a milkshake in years)
-Helped plan Outpour at my new church
-Discovered that I hate the word "bae" and then found out that it stands for Bacon And Eggs, so now I love it. LOL
-Went to Knotts Berry Farm and rode Ghostrider (at night), and now I'm back to being afraid of roller coasters
-Bought food at a theme park--I think that was a first time. I paid $15 for a chicken burrito, beans, rice, and a drink
-Went to Catalina Island for my birthday, got on boat by myself, took pics, and fell in love with photography again
-Was a part of the BETExperience which included VIP seats to an event. the total cost for everything was $1.50 and that was the cost of the train ride back from the staples center
-Saw Tamar Braxton in concert
-Re-enrolled into my school's teacher credential program
-Realized that I don't know the difference between TeachER'S Credential and TeachING Credential
-Applied to HACU's internship program
-Went to Arizona for 4th of July weekend
-I think I ate at Outback Steakhouse for the first time
-Attended the James Brown movie premiere
-experienced my first fellowship outing with my new church at Knotts Berry Farm
-Re-released my 2nd and 3rd book via Amazon's exclusive Kindle Direct Program (KDP)
-Spoke at Free-N-One's Drug and Rehabilitation Program
-Applied for a Social Media Concierge position (outside of my 9-to-5 job)
-Went to the La Brea Tar Pits museum
-Ate at Oh My Burger and had an "Oh My Luther" combo w/a Krispy Kreme doughnut bun
-Quit my job w/ no guarantee of the HACU internship
-Sent my short story (screenplay) to a famous L.A. actor
-Applied to Teach for America on Aug 22nd (after 5 years of rejection) and finally got an interview
-Sept 5th I got the call, while at the gym, that I was accepted into the internship program in Oakland
-Got my first check at a real freelance job (non-profit company)
-One of my closest friends got married :)
-Drove across the state to Berkeley, CA by myself
-Started another position at the Department of Veterans Affairs and it was nostalgic
-Visited Pastor K.R. Woods' church in Berkeley and loved it
-I ate Spanish bread (senorita bread) via Filipino food for the first time
-Experienced TheCall Berkeley and it was my first outdoor revival. There were thousands of people there from all walks of life, just glorifying God. It was amazing!
-I fainted in Subway. I guess I was dehydrated and the combination of being in the sun for hours and not eating anything didn't help
-Drove to Sacramento, CA. I had to cross a bridge to get there from Oakland, but it wasn't that bad
-After I crossed the bridge on my way to Sacramento, I came across another unexpected driving obstacle...a toll road. It was $5 cash only, and I only had $1 in cash and a debit card. The toll road officer wasn't havin' it and gave me a ticket
-Attended my first Spanish service (although there was an English translator) in Oakland. The church was one freeway exit after "Fruitvale Ave." That made me nervous. Have you guys ever seen the movie, Fruitvale Station?" If you have seen the movie, then you know why I was nervous
-Ate at Gussies Chicken & Waffles and Mamas in San Francisco for the first time
-Took the Bart underwater to San Francisco and felt like I was in a submarine
-Attended my Teach for America interview in San Francisco
-Drove (rode) across Golden Gate Bridge
-Drove (rode) down the infamous Lombard Street in San Francisco
-Watched all seasons of Gilmore Girls on Netflix
-Ate a Swedish-American breakfast at IKEA
-Spent Thanksgiving away from my family in NorCal
-Served the community (on Thanksgiving) at my guest church
-Ate the best dressing that I've ever had in my life (don't tell my mom)
-Had an "aha moment" with school and teaching
-Decided to give my career to God
-Failed my first week of class in my teacher credential program. My 3.8 GPA laughed at me
-Blogged (almost) every day in December for Blogmas
-Ended my internship in Oakland
-Sang in the praise team for the first time at my new church...I was beyond nervous!
2105 is the year of recovery. Get ready, people!
Hello, World!

Protestors across California shut down roads and a freeway Thursday during demonstrations in solidarity with activists across the nation who are outraged by the non-indictment of police officers in the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri and Eric Garner in New York City. Demonstrators claim the police acted with excessive force and out of racial bias.
Locations for protests in Berkeley and Sacramento were among those posted to the Ferguson National Response Network (FNRN), a collective site of protests relating to Brown, Garner and others. More are posted for the coming days in locations in California and across the country.
Protesters also gathered in San Francisco, Oakland, and Los Angeles on Thursday, as some had done Wednesday night after the Garner grand jury decision was announced.
Derrick Mustelier (@bioponic) posted a photo of a host of protest attendees at Berkeley:

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, "The rally in Oakland was the fifth in two weeks, including three demonstrations last week that ended with riot police chasing down and arresting epithet-screaming vandals who broke windows, damaged property and threw things at officers."
Occupy Oakland posted the following photo December 3, the night the grand jury decision not to indict an officer in the Eric Garner case was released and protests broke out in Oakland:

As the workforce heads for a flexible future, experts predict new technology will make remote work entirely seamless. Remote work may have been a novelty 20 years ago, but it's quickly becoming the norm—as one of the most in-demand types of workplace flexibility—and experts like Upwork CEO Stephane Kasriel say collaborative tools will evolve accordingly.
In fact, even workers who aren't remote are using tools for remote and/or collaborative work, as any office worker who uses Slack to chat with someone in the same office can attest. Kasriel tells Fast Company these tools will soon become de rigueur, no matter the proximity between coworkers.
"You can see a time when the collaboration tools people use are entirely virtual," he says. "So even if you're sitting next to the person, you still do it through this augmented or virtual-reality world to collaborate on the thing you're working on."
Speaking of virtual reality, VR conferencing will soon make long-distance conversations feel as natural as talking to someone in the same room, whereas current videoconferencing technology still tends to be stilted. Microsoft Research, for example, is developing Holoportation, which captures 3D images of a person to beam a 360-degree hologram of that person to another location in real time. (Holoportation test footage shows one man beaming into a room, Star Trek-style, and high-fiving an occupant of that room before vanishing again.) And Kasriel even thinks that workers could use this kind of technology not just to converse but to communally interact with designs or prototypes in a virtual world.
Meanwhile, remote work will become even more remote. Currently, remote and DeskPlus workers often do each day's work from a fixed location—from home or from a coworking space—because mobile software and tools typically aren't as efficient as their desktop counterparts. (Think, for example, about doing word processing with a touchscreen instead of with a mouse or trackpad.) But Kasriel thinks mobile remote working tools will improve through mobile-first design, predictive text, better speech-to-text software, and artificial intelligence.
And AI can also help manage remote workers by providing instant feedback and helping to prioritize tasks. "You want people to understand that of the three things they could do right now, here is the one that is most aligned with what we're trying to do as an organization," Slack co-founder and CTO Cal Henderson tells Fast Company. "To the extent that technology can help communicate that clarity around vision and priorities, that's hugely helpful for people prioritizing their own work."
All of these technological advances only make the benefits of remote work more accessible to businesses. Remote workers have been proven to be more productive than their in-office kin, with the remote workers of one company doing nearly six days' worth of work in just five. The location independence of Remote and the location variety of DeskPlus also help companies' bottom line by enabling them to optimize their real estate investments. And Remote and the other types of structured flexibility make employees happier, more engaged, and less likely to quit.
To help companies understand how Remote and the other flex types could improve their productivity, employee retention, and business results, we have developed a first-of-its-kind people analytics platform for flexibility. Request a demo to learn more.

PaulI earned my bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Melbourne in Australia, and went on to receive my master's degree in Environmental Engineering from Utah State University. I have an enthusiastic belief that ocean conservation is essential for us to keep living happily on Earth, and I also love marine exploration and protecting the environment in general. Working with students, especially in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) subjects is another thing I greatly enjoy. I see it as an investment in our planet's future. I've learned over the years many good methods for tutoring and mentoring students, which all revolve around focusing on their unique set of challenges and goals.

My secret is to teach only subjects I personally love because my passion can help them seem more appealing to students. Believe it or not, I use this approach to teach several subjects that are often dismissed as "boring," including English grammar and Syntax, Macroeconomics, standardized test prep, and Social Studies. My lessons generally consist of a blend of practice questions, discussions, and audiovisual aids where appropriate. I have experience working with every type of student you can imagine, from newly arrived ESL students to college level learners. I have also contributed to several economics textbooks, so you may be familiar with my work without knowing my name! I look forward to helping you achieve your academic goals.

Oh No… SNOW
There it was this morning… on my back deck. All white and trying to look cute, but I was not fooled. I blinked. Blinked again. Rubbed my eyes and peaked through the cracks in my fingers. Snow. My arch enemy. My cryptonite that weakens me and draws me into my home for a season… the winter season.
I know it is inevitable… I mean, we do live in Minnesota after all… home of the snowmobiling frenzy and the yearly Ice Fishing Extravaganza. It is shoveling and slippery roads. It is dig out my coat and find my mittens cold. It is windows up in the car and heat blasting me in the face cold.
But to me… a green Christmas would be ideal. (After all isn't green the new pink?) Picture it… grilling the turkey on the deck while family and friends play yard games like horse shoes and volleyball. We would open gifts that evening around a campfire, singing Christmas songs while we roasted marshmallows and sucked on candy canes. Chestnuts roasting on an open grill….
Ok… I'll let it go. There are a lot more snow fans in this area then there are the anti-snow people like me. So once again I will put on a happy face, a strong outward appearance, and big boots. My attitude will be positively delightful as I look for my window scraper. Yay… snow.

The Frankenstein "Monster" is pretty creepy. Especially when he goes total savage at the end. The story is pretty awsome. I loved how they got the Frank monster here. And they throw in Baragon too. The showdown at the end between Franky and Baragon is awsome. Its well shot, choreographed and the sets are great.

(Harrisburg) -- Not a single municipality in Lancaster County will allow mini-casinos to locate within their borders.
Republican State Senators Ryan Aument and Scott Martin of Lancaster County said in a statement the last remaining municipal resolution banning the new casinos has been delivered to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.
"We could not be more pleased with the quick response and strong statement this sends to Harrisburg special interests," said the senators. "Lancaster County is extraordinary for many reasons, and hosting a mini-casino here adds nothing positive to our culture, people or economy. In fact, it runs counter to our heritage and character."
The new gambling law authorized up to ten mini-casinos to be operated by Pennsylvania's existing casinos. It also legalized internet gambling run by casinos, video gaming terminals at truck stops, bets on daily fantasy sports games and airport tablet gambling.
Municipal governments that chose not to host mini-casinos had to opt out by December 31.

text: This series is motivated by my own personal history and by the history of female representations in art, religion, and popular media. For Mo(u)rning, aspiring models are documented in the nightwear they slept in, at sunrise, in landscapes near their homes. While photographing this series, I take a praise-like stance and allow the natural discrepancies of the changing morning light to adjust with each image. A shallow depth of field is utilized to blur the landscape behind the Venus-idol figure and denote importance onto her. The women are asked to procure an honest intimacy with the photographer, and in consequence, they also do so with the viewer. An alienated relationship with a mother figure in the my own life combined with an oversaturation of the idolized female in the media led me to these photographic studies

Mince pies glistening on a mikimoto pearl plate. I ate the last one on the 30th.
The cookies I sent to NZ, including tricolor coconut ice, 'Christmas Trees' with white chocolate 'snow' (turned into weird-shaped lumps I'm afraid!), and bourbon-chilli truffles, which my sister heartily declared to be the worst thing she'd ever tasted! Oh well, I'll eat them ALL next year, I love chilli chocolate. And some marbles (pebbles, smarties) for the kids.
Cookies for the cookie exchange I did with a few friends. Afghans, 'no-bowl' slice, chocolate fudge, peppermints and my favorite, walnut balls.
The spread for a party we had on the 23rd. Clockwise from top left: mince pies, ginger thins, chex mix (from a cookie exchange partner), chewy fruit cookies and sugar cookies (from cookie exchange), peppermints, walnut balls and coconut ice, bourbon chilli balls, failed coconut ice that made a not-half-bad biscuit, and the Christmas cake in the centre.
Traditional Christmas treats.

While my brother was busy collecting his Marvel and DC comic books, I was happily flipping the pages of my Archie Comics, getting updated on the life of America's quintessential boy next-door, and the predicament he usually found himself in by being in the middle of Betty and Veronica.
But wouldn't it be the bee's knees if you could relive the life and times of Riverdale, but this time as your own character?
Meet Aerin, Riverdale High's new transfer student, and all-around sweetheart!
I have to give props to Mommy Monette for this fantastic idea. She had her artist draw up Aerin's own Riverdale avatar so the Party Magic team and I could incorporate her into the Riverdale universe. This caricature doesn't match up to the real thing, though!
That's Aerin, all cozied up in Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe, waiting for her strawberry milkshake. Ain't she lovely!
Massive applause to the whole Dy family too, for getting all dressed up for the occasion. Take a look at toddler Jughead over there!
Aerin and little Jughead, just hanging around in the Chock-lit Shoppe!
Most people have the misconception that all the decoration work happens during the actual day of the party. This could not be more wrong. The reality is, styling is 70% prep-work, 30% on-the-day-work. And all prep-work begins with conceptualization, planning, and design.
Much like writing, I believe that in order to properly design a party, you need to know the subject (theme) very well.
Fortunately for me, I knew this subject so much that I didn't even need to do a single piece of research work!
The stage happens in the corridors of Riverdale High School, where Aerin is campaigning for class president. Her opponent? Archie! I wonder who will win?
Off to stage left we find Betty and Veronica. Their cheerleader uniforms are hung on their lockers:

Here's our Top 11 Bachelors!!
Brad Cecchi (28), Chef de Cuisine at Grange Restaurant
This guy is awesome! Passionate about food, wine and beer… but not pretentious! Isn't that something? Brad is always fun to be around, up for anything, and seriously one of the best people I know. Limited time offer, while supplies last.
Eric Dietz (29), Legislative Director for Assemblymember Allan Mansoor
While most men are content to just muddle through life, occasionally veering off the well-beaten path of "mediocre education, loveless marriage, ungrateful kids, depressing retirement, death," Eric James Dietz lives life to its fullest. Not satisfied with just blazing a trail through California's harsh political climate, he has to constantly challenge himself to bigger and better things. Disarming would-be thieves, attempting to harness the energy of 100% clean and renewal biofuels, fighting grizzly bears, painting the perfect sunset, discovering a truly delicious low-calorie beer, mastering flamenco — he will not be sated. Ladies, he also *loves* babies. Just adores them.
Steve Eliason, 42, Interior Designer, House Crashers
He has never been married and is a great guy. He would be the perfect guy for a lucky girl! He is an avid Seahawk fan. Owns his own home and a very hard worker. He is a kid at heart and has a great sense of humor. He is great with kids.
Eric Frazer (33), Insurance Broker
Eric is a great guy who is successful, sweet and fun. He enjoys snowboarding, wakeboarding, working out and more, and deserves a nice girl who shares his values, spirit and fun.
Nate Jones (23), Groove Crew Member, Sacramento River Cats; Ticket Sales Executive, Sacramento Mountain Lions
When Nate is not busting a move on the diamond at Raley Field, he can be spotted on the grid at one of his favorite local watering holes. Nate enjoys supporting his alma matter, Indiana University, hitting the links, and playing beach volleyball. Nate's got rhythm, style, and a great sense of humor.
Carlos Quant (26), Associate Finance Budget Analyst at the California Department of Finance
Carlos is trustworthy, reliable, honest and very bright. He enjoys spending time with his family and his close friends, is not much of a drinker or partier, and is very driven to accomplishing his goals. I know that he would treat any girl who appreciate his great qualities incredibly well.
Ryan Schnabel (36), Medical Device Sales
As cliché as it sounds Ryan is just an overall great guy. Ryan owns a home in Sacramento where he shares it with the two current loves of his life. His dog and cat (try not to hold the whole "cat guy" thing against him. I think he inherited it from an ex). Ryan is the eternal athlete. He played baseball competitively his whole life and still does to this day. Not only is he athletic but he is extremely dedicated to a healthy lifestyle. Ryan loves the outdoors and remains extremely active. My most favorite quality about Ryan is that he is an amazing friend. He has a big heart and cares deeply about his family and friends. Most importantly (in my book) he has a great personality and the uncanny ability to laugh at himself. He's confident, but not cocky. Super hot, but doesn't know it (well maybe a little). Most definitely Sacramento's most eligible bachelor.
Chris Sheehy (30), Account Manager, Siemens Industry
Chris is THE catch. He's handsome, kind, hilarious, intelligent, works hard, trains hard, and gives back. He is currently training for the AR50 (American River 50 miles endurance run) and working to raise money for Special Operations Warrior Foundation. His next race will be the Western States 100. Even though he trains often, he still finds time to hang out with his sister and visit his nieces and nephews… He never forgets a birthday, he's always there to lend a hand or offer some advice. He is a loyal friend and all around awesome person. He is not looking for a woman to take care of him but someone to share life with and be a partner to. He's not the kind of guy looking for a maid or a mother, he even knows how to do his own laundry! He is my best friend and there is nobody better. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
Alexander Sigua (26), Public Relations Manager for the Sacramento Kings
Alexander Sigua, for Girls on the Grid 2011 Most Eligible Bachelor. He is a total catch. He is smart, witty and undeniably funny but most importantly he has the biggest heart. He always puts the people he loves before himself. When I was 13 the only thing I wanted most in the world was to go to an N'Sync concert. Seeing as how I was only 13 and could not drive myself my brother, who was 17 at the time, drove me to Arco Arena and sat with me and my best friend during the entire concert. That was the last place he wanted to be but he was there because that's the kind of guy he is, completely selfless. Behind his charm and good looks he is a great guy and he is the best candidate that I could ever imagine for Girls on the Grid's Most Eligible Bachelor!
Darren Spicer (24), Solar Legacy Account Manager, Paramount Energy Solutions
Darren Spicer is a resident of midtown, but he was born and raised in Oregon. Darren has mixed his small town upbringing in conjunction with the more urban lifestyle of Sacramento. Darren's been up and down the west coast and loves to spend time outdoors. He is sweet and easy-going, but he's also a professional with a great career and is totally passionate about his job. He loves his family and has a great relationship with his mom. (It's important!) While continually trying to learn more improve his abilities, Darren is increasing his knowledge in his career field and any young lady would be lucky to catch him at this time! Finding a decent single man in Sacramento wouldn't be hard if more guys were like Darren.
My friend Darren is one of the nicest guys I have ever met. Not only is he kind, he is understanding and a loyal friend. Every time I see Darren he is laughing and having fun. He is such an easy guy to get along with. He is also easy to talk to. He has a great family relationship and a great job. I think any girl would be lucky to date Darren. In fact I wish there were more guys like Darren in this world.
Gary Stock (37), Nurse Anesthetist
The reason I'm nominating him is because he is Awe-some! He's the kind of guy that is truly looking for that right girl, loves kids, and can't wait to have a family. He's a wonderful friend to people and is very generous. He has a great job and is super smart. He's laid back…not one of those high-maintenance, pretty boys…and loves photography, traveling, and going hiking, backpacking, and skiing. Most weekends in the summer you can find him BBQing out front of his house, hanging with the neighbors & having a few beers. He also bought a house about two years ago that he's restoring, which is pretty darn cool. To top it all off, he's hilarious. He's truly a wonderful, kind, and caring person who is a catch.

I had my first members only webcam session last night and it turned out ok. Only two members showed up but it still was super fun. I had some fun lotioning my boobs and belly, doing a little booty dance for the camera too. :)
I am really glad that I thought to add the chat window to the webcam page, otherwise I feel like I am sitting here talking to myself lol.
Anyhow, both guys said they got off, and that is what matters. I think maybe I had so few members there because of the time, so I am making it a little earlier. Next weeks webcam show will be on Thursday at 7pm Pacific time. I think that will work better for guys on the East coast.
Anyhow, thats all for now. I am on my first cup of coffee still and after staying up til 4am catching up on last seasons True Blood I am a bit foggy still. :)

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Airline investors were tepid Friday after data on nonfarm payrolls data heightened the odds of a U.S. recession.
The Amex Airline Index XAL, -2.65% added a small fraction to 26.37 points with eight of its 14 components in the red.
Among major carriers, shares of United parent UAL Corp. UAUA declined 2.7% to $21.20 while Continental Airlines CAL, -6.81% and Delta Air Lines DAL, -3.04% each lost a fraction.
Most of the low-cost carriers were also trading lower, with Frontier Airlines FRNT notably bucking the trend.
For March, Denver-based Frontier reported that mainline traffic grew 14.7% versus last year while passenger revenue per mile was up 10.5%.
Frontier's shares rose 2.4% to close at $2.17.
