So here we have it. My Christmas post. I'm slightly behind as I have been sick this past week. Wish I was closer to being on the mend, but I'm not. Hopefully by tomorrow I will be.
The Monday before Christmas I attended a cookie exchange. Below are the goodies that were shared. There were a lot of wonderful cookies. And I hate to say it, we still have left overs!
Next we had Christmas Eve at my niece's house. We had a wonderful time. Kassidy was unable to be with us for the party, but she did stay Christmas Eve at our house.
Of course on Christmas Eve we always get new PJ's. LW's were so funny. Not sure how well you can see them, but on his PJ bottoms are snowmen that are officials. Of course they are football officials, but none the less...they are officials! Kass and I couldn't resist.
Finally we have Christmas morning. Miss Kassidy didn't wake us up until after 7am. Talk about being in shock. She insisted that she would be waking us up at 5am! She told me she was up at 5am, but didn't wake us up. If I was her age, I would have been done opening my presents by 7am. We had such a fun time. I have never done the whole Christmas/Santa thing with kids before. It was tiring, but so worth it to see her face. I know this is her last year to believe, but I will never stop leaving surprises from Santa for the girls.
In one of the pictures below you will see Kassidy doing her iPod dance. That child was so thrilled to get an iPod for Christmas. It's always so much fun watching her get excited...and appreciate all that we do for her. That's the best gift ever.
For those wondering, NO LW did not propose. But that's okay he got me the two best gifts that I was dying for....black Ugg boots and a James Patterson book, "I, Alex Cross." And of course he threw in a beautiful diamond necklace. Imagine my face when I saw "he went to Jareds." I did have the best Christmas ever.
I will close with our family picture. Last year was our first Christmas together so I took a picture of all three of us together. I decided to make it an annual tradition. It's so fun to watch how we have changed. Especially Kassidy who is growing into such a beautiful young lady. I am so blessed!
Of course I can't forget our two furry family members...Boots and Boomer.
Happy New Year my friends. I'll see you in the new year.

2018 Mazda CX-5 vs 2018 Nissan Rogue
Are you shopping for a new crossover, but cannot decide which one has all the features you need? You want a more compact ride, but don't want to give up room or horsepower. Today we've brought together the 2018 Mazda CX-5 and the 2018 Nissan Rogue and completed a side-by-side comparison, so you can see which one fits your lifestyle.
Advantages of the 2018 Mazda CX-5
Which crossover has the extra muscle needed for acceleration?
The 2.5L SKYACTIV-G® 4-cylinder engine in the 2018 Mazda CX-5 has been crafted to pump out 187 horsepower, while the 2018 Nissan Rogue will be struggling to catch up with its 170 horsepower. When working your way through morning traffic or running to drop off the kids, you will always need that extra boost of acceleration.
Will one of them be able to tow your toys to the lake?
A crossover is supposed to help you make more out of your time. Your 2018 Mazda CX-5 can be equipped to tow up to 2,000 pounds, so load up your luggage and the ATV on its trailer to enjoy your weekend escape. When you opt for the 2018 Nissan Rogue you will be limited to just 1,100 pounds on the hitch, so you will be leaving more equipment behind.
Which vehicle offers advanced safety features?
If you are constantly stuck in traffic, only the 2018 Mazda CX-5 offers radar cruise control that is able to maintain a safe following distance even as the traffic around you speeds up and slows down. You will be pedaling the brakes yourself in the 2018 Nissan Rogue.

New York City Children's Theater reached out to some of the best writers we know to create stories for our website based on the prompt:
Once Upon a Time in 3017…
Read our first guest post of the season, courtesy of Emily, age 13!
Once upon a time, in 3017, a young girl stood next to her father, staring at a brown, dry planet in front of them. They were holding hands, the girl's soft fingers intertwined with her father's calloused ones.
"Um, daddy?" the young girl asked. "What are we looking at?"
"Great question, Xena! We are looking at an old planet. Evidence says that this planet was called Earth."
Xena rolls the strange name over her tongue. She likes the way it feels coming out of her mouth.
"Earth," she says, over and over. "Earth. Earth. Earth."
"That's right!" the father says. "According to very old stories and books, people used to live on that planet."
"Whoa," Xena replies, fascinated by it all.
The father reaches into his pocket. He pulls out an old, wrinkled piece of paper that looks like it has been ripped out of an ancient textbook. On the page is a planet. A beautiful blue planet, with large blue oceans and masses of green land.
"This is what Earth probably used to look like," the father said.
"Wow," Xena said, looking at the masses of land spread out across the vast field of blue, "It's not like Mars at all. It's so much prettier."
"I know," the father said.
They gaze at the crumpled, brown sphere in front of them.
"I wonder what happened," Xena whispered.
"Good morning, Alexis," Xena said groggily, as she pulled herself out of bed.
"Good morning, Xena. It is your birthday today. Happy 24th birthday!" a robotic voice responds. The "Happy Birthday" tune begins playing throughout the house.
"Thanks," Xena replies. She stumbles into the kitchen where she grabs some Breakfast Powder. With a little bit of water, it turns into an omelet with bacon and an English muffin. She slouches on her couch and bites her omelet. Delicious!
"Alexis, turn on the holovision, will you?" Xena asks.
"As you wish, Xena."
The holovision flickers to live and a newscaster, in pure color, appears in her living room. "There is a developing story," the newscaster said, "in the scientific community this morning." Xena perks up. She has been unemployed for about 3 months now, and she's been looking for a job in the field of science. The newscaster continues. "Scientists say that they want to explore planet Earth, for the first time in 600 years. According to top professors at Olympus Mons University of Technology, we finally have the technology to figure out what happened to Earth and why its appearance has changed so drastically." Two holographic models of Earth appear before her, one from a thousand years ago and , and one from today. Xena suddenly sits up in her seat. She remembers the moments she had with her father, holding hands, admiring the gigantic, crusty ball of rock floating in space that was in front of them. "Not much is known about this planet," says the newscaster, snapping Xena out of her spell, "because of the History Ban of 2100. Now, if you are interested in being a part of the program, please contact the Olympus Mons University of Technology." Xena stands up, and smiles. "Alexis," she says, "Sign me up."

Resistance, Ady Barkan, and the Path Forward
Resistance, Ady Barkan, and the Path Forward Nearly every day in America, for the past two-and-one-half years, has felt surreal in the nightmare sense, as if we entered an alt-right universe of distortion and corruption, undiluted racism and sexism solidly grounded in profound ignorance. The petty, mean tyranny of Donald J. Trump as president has brought out the very worst in American life. Neo-Nazis, KKK, and misogynists suddenly felt comfortable in their ugly skin again, ready to spread hate and fear, violence and lies, incited by their commander in chief. Unfettered greed and cruelty as national policy—we have not seen since the days of internmentRead More →

Veteran broadcaster, Mrs. Aisha Falode has been inaugurated alongside nine others as members of the Board of the Nigeria Women Football League.
At brief ceremony that took place at the headquarters of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) in Abuja on Thursday, the new board was charged to work with passion and commitment to lift the women's League to a new pedestal.
Speaking at the new board's inauguration, NFF President, Mr. Amaju Pinnick poured encomiums on the board's members just as he expressed faith in their ability to lift the game to a new level.
"I am aware of the prowess of Falode in marketing, and what she can bring to the League to develop it. I also know that most of the members are well connected and could bring a new lease of life to the women's League. They are all seasoned, passionate and capable."
Falode, a member of the CAF Media Committee and CAF Match Commissioner, said it was a great honour for herself and other members to be called upon to serve.
"The reactions since we were appointed indicate that we are condemned to perform, to work hard and to achieve results. The past Boards of the women's League did their best, but there is a lot of room for improvement.
"We will look at the structure and the issue of players' welfare and we are committed to running a women's League that is functional, compact and competitive. What we saw at the 10th Women Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon confirmed that the gap between the so –called big teams and the so –called small teams in African women football has narrowed significantly.
"It is our responsibility to run a women's League that will turn things around and we will give it our best shot. In truth, times are hard, but tough times also have a way of bringing the best out of people, in terms of innovation."
Members of the new board include Margaret Icheen, Joe Amene, Kemi Adesanya; Matilda Otuene; Henrietta Ukaigwe; Hussaina Suleiman; Mustapha Tahir; Usman Mustapha and Ms Nkechi Obi who is expected to serve as the chief executive.

Two years ago, I stepped foot into the Empire State Building for the first time. This seemed to be one of those touristy things I could never bring myself to do…until we went to the city with my SIL, Sam, and her boyfriend, Kurt. Then it became a sporadic, in the moment decision that led to some beautiful views as the sun set and the city darkened.
View of the Empire State Building from Top of the Rock
I'd heard of Top of the Rock, but couldn't imagine how it could be better than the Empire State Building. I mean, this is THE Empire State Building. How can anything possibly top an 86th floor view (or 102nd floor view if you're up for shelling out some extra cash)? Still, after experiencing the Empire State Building in all its glory, I knew I needed to try Top of the Rock for comparison.
The Empire State Building is iconic. It's right in the heart of the city. It's easy to get to and navigate its entrance, even for a city rookie.
However, even with everything the Empire State Building has to offer, after visiting Top of the Rock*, it has taken the place in my 'You've Got to Go Here!' recommendation list for first time visitors to the city.
*On a very hot, yucky, on again off again wet, chilly at points, dirtiest day of summer.
Smiling from Top of the Rock in spite of the weather!
Here are just a few reasons:
1.Our visit to the Empire State Building lasted about three hours. A healthy portion of that time was spent in line. Now, of course, the time of day and weather may effect this. We went at a time where purchasing tickets wasn't a problem, but the line was still long. The weather that day was the perfect start of fall weather.*
*You know, the kind I'm dreaming about right now.
Our trip to Top of the Rock lasted about two hours and most of that time was spent actually enjoying the view. Our line moved at a fast pace, the only thing slowing us being an optional picture taking just before the entrance.*
*We opted out of said photo.
2. In the price category they are exactly the same*, however, with Top of the Rock you have a few options and, if we had more time, we would have gone for one of them.
*$32 covers all access to Top of the Rock, however, at the Empire State Building it only gets you to the 86th floor. To go to the 102nd floor, you'll have to cough up another twenty bucks.
With Top of the Rock, you have the option of a Rock Pass for $44 which includes a tour of Rockefeller Center. Or, if you are a museum lover, you can go for the Rock MoMA package which includes entry to The Museum of Modern Art.
Both the Empire State Building and Top of the Rock are in the NY City Pass, along with other attractions. Personally, I find that city passes offer too much. I usually only have time to do a few of the options listed. However, the nice thing about the Pass, especially for a first time visitor to any city, is that the pass tickets tell you information like the best time to visit, amenities, and which subway lines to use.
3. Top of the Rock includes three floors of indoor and outdoor decks. The sky held a cloudy dark grey presence all morning, and of course, when we headed for Rockefeller Center little rain drops started spitting down on us. By the time we reached the 67th floor (the first stop), it was lightly raining. Though eventually we immersed ourselves into the rain in order to obtain a better view, we could have waited the rain out by sitting and enjoying the view from the spacious indoor deck lined with cozy benches and floor to ceiling glass walls. The 69th floor was the next level, with a similar layout, however, the 70th floor held the surprise of an open air view of the city with no protective glass as on the other floors.
Hubby protecting our cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery by hiding from the rain. We eventually got him a plastic bag so he could better enjoy the view.
4. While in the Empire State Building you are higher and gain breathtaking views of other skyscrapers, especially the Freedom Tower, what you don't see at all is Central Park. Something about being able to view Central Park in its entirety played heavily on my loving Top of the Rock so much.
When you first exit onto the 67th floor there are windows you can peek out of to get your first glimpse of the view. The crowds that gather around them make it feel as though this will be the only view you get. Press on!*
*Only after you get a picture of your group huddled in front of the window you claimed.
5. It could have been the difference in weather, and I do intend to return on a cooler, sunnier day, but Top of the Rock was far less crowded than the Empire State Building. At the Empire State Building, it was a fend for yourself kind of situation. You needed to be scoping out the edge so when a spot freed up you could jump in and get a better view.
At Top of the Rock there were plenty of openings along the wall, even with open umbrellas scattered about, as well as plenty of chances to take a selfie or a group shot without some guy you didn't know photo bombing.
How cool is this building? It makes me think of the tower of Babel…which isn't so cool, and the fact that it is disappearing into the fog makes it kind of eerie.
Even the Empire State Building began to disappear!
Fun facts from Top of the Rock:
You can see…13,437 taxis…8,405,837 people…29,000 acres of park…over 237 skyscrapers
Look! There are some of those taxis below…
We also saw the Times Square ball from a different angle*. I love that the ball is there all year long. It's a happy reminder of celebrations to come.
*And without having to deal with the craziness of Times Square.
Just in case I didn't show you enough pictures of the park, here's one more…

Bentonite is naturally occurring industrial rock, characterized by the property of absorbing water and capacity for Base Exchange. It is generated frequently from the alteration of volcanic ash, consisting predominantly of smectite minerals, usually montmorillonite. Bentonite is processed to give sodium and calcium montmorillonite, activated clays, and organo-clays all of which have different properties that can be applied in wide range of uses and applications. It has special properties such as hydration, swelling, water absorption, viscosity, and thixotropy. Different types of bentonite are each named after the respective dominant element such as potassium, sodium, calcium, and aluminium.
Bentonite is used in foundry application in the preparation of molding sand for the production of iron, steel, and non-ferrous casting as a bonding material. Production of high quality casting is possible because of bentonite's good flowability, compactability, and thermal stability. Bentonite is used for cat litter as it provides the advantage of absorbing refuse by forming clumps (which can be easily removed) leaving the remaining product intact for further use. It is used as a mud constituent for oil and water well drilling.
Bentonite is used as a filler in pharmaceuticals due to its absorption/adsorption functions. It allows paste formation and its applications include industrial protective creams, wet compresses, calamine lotion, and antiirritants for eczema. In medicine, bentonite is used as an antidote in heavy metal poisoning. Personal care products such as mud packs, sunburn paint, baby and facepowders, and face creams may all contain bentonite. Bentonites are used for decolorizing various mineral, vegetable, and animal oils. They are also used for clarifying wine, liquor, cider, beer, mead, and vinegar owing to its adsorption properties.
In 2015, the global bentonite production was estimated at 16 million tons by the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

Loitering In Wonderland - Episode 34: Sharknado 2: The Second One (2014)
Recorded: 8.2.14
Aired: 8.3.14
Episode features: Phoenix West, Rio Valencia, Brent Puccio and Ryan Davies.
We watched Sharknado 2: The Second One which premiered days before on SyFy and now we are certified marine biologists. Want proof? We are some of the few people that know that sharks can exist inside a tornado without water. This movie was twice as bad as the first one but took 20 extra actors down with it. This movie is fucking huge and fucking terrible. It's not clever. It's not funny. It's not so bad it's good. It's just fucking terrible and shouldn't be praised.

There are times when you just want to relax from the tough day you had at work. Or the trouble you've been having at home. But that's life and stress is something you need to deal with. There ways to make things better for you. One is by getting a massage, a quality one performed by an excellent masseur. You would be able to improve your life when you're able to relax and loosen your muscles. You need to get rid of all that tension and negativity, get some sleep, and recuperate your strength. Choose the right massage parlor, one that has a good masseur so you won't really have any problems getting a relaxing experience.
The first thing you need to do is research. If you haven't really gotten a massage in the past, then this would be the time to do it. You would need search for reputable parlors because they would guarantee you an excellent service. There are plenty of online resources that would lead you to these establishments so there is nothing to worry about in the least. Most of these massage parlors have websites that you can visit. Yes, you don't actually need to leave your home and office just to know the details about these places. All you have to do is give them a call, schedule a massage, and then simply head of over to the spa during the said time. Watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=691dbbaadhg about massage.
Asking for references is actually a good idea too. You probably have a lot of friends and relatives who have gotten massages in the past. Make sure to ask them for advice regarding these matters. If they were so happy with their massage then you would definitely want to experience what they had. If they tell you that a certain spa can give massage therapist services then it would be best to listen to them. You just have to be smart about the venture at all times.
Choose a spa that has a complete range of services because that would mean unlimited ways to get a relaxing experience. While there are spas that offer only basic services, and sometimes that would be enough, you want customized services that meet your needs. A hot stone massage has to be done in a way that gives you peace, relaxes your body and mind, and gives you the means to recuperate your strength. As soon as morning comes you will be able to perform at full capacity again.

I have been feeling warm and cozy lately. Both at home and at work. That probably means I have hit a plateau and possibly stopped growing.
At home A and I get along great, even when we argue, we argue in a very respectful way. We support each other, and each other's interests and hobbies. We both have our jobs that we enjoy that make us more than stable in a financial sense. We still do our "Hat Treaty" stuff where we go and try different things, together, whether it's rock climbing or a burlesque show in NYC.
From a professional stand point, I definitely feel warm and cozy. Both Basking Ridge and Seton Hall are going well – busy as usual but pleasant. This warm, fuzzy feeling of "everything is going great" is a sign that I have stopped growing. And I need to do something about it.
I am still waiting to hear from Seton Hall and whether they are willing to take me into their PhD program. If it's a no (which is very possible), then I will be looking into other ventures, possibly Columbia. I am searching for things to supplement my professional development with – KDP webinars, listening to lectures, taking notes on new strategies, connecting with people on Twitter. In fact, I plan to dedicate 2 hours next week to professional research, whether it's in the area of teaching World Languages or the area of school administration. TWO hours researching,reading articles, taking notes, collaborating, etc. This way I know that I am moving forward.
Here is how my week is looking so far:
Monday – Basking Ridge, then Seton Hall. Late night. Finish at 7PM, home by 7:30PM.
Tuesday – BR 7AM till 2:35PM, tutoring a student for 1 hour, home at 4:00. A webinar at 8PM till 9:15PM, on Common Core.
Wednesday – BR, spend 1 hour researching anything in my field. Then – see "Fun" list.
Thursday – BR, then So Shim Sa evening service and meditation, 5:30 to 7PM.
Friday – BR, free night. See "Fun" List.
My wake up time is 4AM, followed by gym, coffee, reading for the soul, breakfast, and getting ready for work. A and I are out of the door at 6AM.
Also, at the beginning of the week, I put together a "Fun" list of activities that I enjoy, and choose from it during the week. This way my week is not garbled up by work and errands only.
Week of 12/1/2013 "Fun" list:
~ read
~ take a walk (possibly with my Nikon)
~ call/text/email a friend
~ watch a TED video
~ listen to the Great Courses lecture, take notes. (Currently World Religions series).
~ visit a local library
~ write a blog post
~ meditate for 20 minutes (timer set).
~ re-evaluate and strategize my goals.
Hopefully, the above things will help me get out of my comfort zone, and really use my time productively this coming week…
What about you? How do you know when you are in the comfort zone? How do you get out of it? Please share!
Have a great week!
(Below are the pictures I have snapped during one of my many walks with my Nikon at Watchung Lake).

A winter morning in Vienna
Making family films has become my new favorite thing to do. It is a really interesting addition to the ways I help families.
Over the past 12 weeks, I have filmed 4 families, and as I edit each session, it never ceases to amaze me how truly unique and different and special each family is. I typically film for 1-2 hours and, when I get home I review the footage to select the best pieces of the day to edit together into a narrative capturing a slice of their life.
Once I have completed the review, I then begin selecting the music. And every time, the music that helps tell the story has to be different. Because, each family is different, and each session is unique. Each family has it's own rhythm, and its own energy. It is just uncanny.
So, without further ado, here is a Winter Morning in Vienna. Every time I watch it, It puts a smile on my face. There is no energy like toddler energy.

A tough life in Alaska in the winter
If you've never been to Alaska in the winter, you've not experienced the raw environment (I've been there during a summer and that was an experience – talk about raw).
The film is a treasure of life in Alaska and is now on video. It is a silent film but in color. The film starts with a map of the territory and then shows their cabin home and how they lived and got by during the harsh winters.
It's an amazing display of nature and a wonderful story. Ice fishing, scraping 5-foot snow off roofs, taking the airplane for a ride through the country…wouldn't you want to live in Alaska after watching?
Places always look nice from a distance. But these conditions in Alaska look harsh on this side of the story. Following the outlined details, is a great filmed documentary of life in Alaska, filmed in 1949.
Bud Helmericks and his first wife Constance (Connie) Helmericks spent more than a decade living in and exploring northern Alaska during the 1940s and 1950s. Constance was the best-selling author of eight non-fiction books, five detailing their lives and adventures in the far north. Films that the couple shot on 16mm color film were the subject of national lecture tours. Shot with great care and artfulness under extreme living conditions, these films depict the unique lives of the Helmericks family, as well as the rapidly-changing lives of Iñupiat peoples during the era of pre-Statehood and pre-pipeline Alaska.
Detailed summary information for "We Live in the Arctic" was provided by the filmmakers. According to these notes, the film includes scenes of the "Arctic Tern" (Cessna 170 airplane) on skis; Six different airplanes, all named the "Arctic Tern" and all painted with a bird symbol, were used in the production of the three Helmericks films over seven years; Upon return to Brooks Range cabin in Alaska after many months away, Bud takes down hanging empty gas cans left to scare bears away; Bud shows how the arctic dweller uses an ice chisel — it takes about one hour to cut through the four-foot ice of Takahula Lake; Lifting out net and fish catch; Icy lake water is hauled to the house; Tramping down an airfield for the plane with snowshoes; It is necessary to push a small piece of stove-wood under each ski of the airplane when parked to keep it from freezing down; Oliktok Point on the Arctic Ocean; Friends run out of their door waving joyously; Bud and George work with shovels and flags to make a more safe airplane field; Oolak returns hours later with a load of small driftwood sticks for fuel; Sled with a big sail approaches out of the frozen ocean; Carrie with her boy Maugulauk and husband Jacob; When Carrie becomes ill, Bud flies her to Point Barrow Hospital during wind storm; Back at Oliktok Point camp, Connie directs the airplane to safety; Dog buried in snow in a spring blizzard during month of May;
Another dogsled visitor arrives, and all shake hands with Colliak, who has come from 100 miles inland; Caribou butchered; Sawing out new sled from driftwood as Lydia plays about; Apiak, older son, builds sled flooring — it is necessary to make an entirely new sled almost every season; Flight out over the polar ice fifty miles; Landing fifty miles offshore where Apiak had designated a hunting camp in his earlier explorations by sled; Pitch tent; Rifle close at hand in case of polar bears; Travel via dogsled and hunting for seals; Polar bear tracks; Connie comes up to her dead polar bear — shot from the tent at 1 a.m. in late May — feasting (not shown) followed immediately after butchering; Seal meat goes into modern pressure cooker; Apiak serves dogs their meal; Starving seal has lost its diving hole and can't find the ocean — carried in a sack on the sled to the nearest seal hole and it finally dove down into the ocean; On shore after two months at sea; Summer tent; Lydia, Nannie and George; Saying goodbye; Home to cabin at Takahula Lake; Unloading cargo from Hughes, the trading post (100 miles away), at the new dock at Takahula Lake; Bud cuts moose hide into strips and makes chairs; Connie casting for pike at tent camp at nearby Iniakuk Lake; Broken airplane tail — Bud fixes it by taking off part of the tail and then fortunately it flew OK; Connie catches a grayling; Geese migrating; Grizzly and moose and other animals; Roasting caribou ribs; Connie uses the little yellow kayak on Takahula Lake before winter; Ice pans float down the adjacent Alatna River; Arrigetch Peaks rising above the house; Bud and Connie, in full winter dress, are prepared for winter again; Connie reads contentedly by the blazing hearth. (Color/Silent/16mm film).
This sequence contains excerpts from AAF-16009 and AAF-16010 from the Constance Helmericks Film collection held by the Alaska Film Archives, a unit of the Alaska and Polar Regions Collections & Archives Department in the Elmer E. Rasmuson Library, University of Alaska Fairbanks. For more information please contact the Alaska Film Archives.

Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Philippians 2:4 KJV
A fulfilling life that is pleasing to God is one that lives outside of self. Self serving, self focused lives are shallow and hollow.
I understand that President Ronald Reagan had a plaque on his desk that said, "There is no limit to what you can achieve if you don't care who gets the credit." This willingness to allow and encourage others to succeed is what America needs now. This is respecting and honoring others by recognizing their intrinsic worth.
Serving enhances life's experience and satisfies like nothing else.

When you first start out with photography, it's important to spend a few years experimenting, making mistakes and discoveries, and gaining visual dexterity. As you've probably seen, it takes some years before camera controls and perspectives can be internalized to the point where you can focus purely on the art and craft of image-making. Once the basics are mastered, photographers are able to make technically-sound images but their oeuvre has a fairly random feel, when taken as a whole. Diverging styles, techniques, subject choices - work at this stage is a bit of a visual grab bag.
There's nothing wrong with this artistic phase (it's actually a critically important part of the creative process), though photographers are often eager to move past it. There comes a time when artists develop a drive to find their unique photographic voice - to make images that resonate with a stronger sense of personal vision. There might be a pull to work on a portfolio or long-term personal project. There might be a desire to build a website, mount an exhibition, or enter a competition. This is an exciting transitional time in the creative process - and it can be rich with opportunities for growth.
When you begin to photograph with more intention and focus, you can create images that say something more meaningful about who you are as an artist - and as a person. Instead of making hundreds (or thousands) of "one-off" images, you might begin to see a clear narrative develop in your work. You might turn your camera on a social, cultural, or environmental issue. You might use your photography to explore a particular place or a particular time in your life. You might make an in-depth, ongoing portrait of a loved one or explore a personal passion on a deeper level. Wherever your focus lies, it can be wonderfully gratifying to immerse yourself in your creative process and take these next steps with your work.
Oftentimes, photographers start to consider these issues and realize that the seeds of a unique personal vision are already apparent in their work. You might realize you've been photographing a particular subject (or working in a particular style) for some time. These little seeds of personal vision are treasures, and if they're thoughtfully cultivated, they can grow into powerful bodies of work.
If you're interested in taking a deep look at how these issues affect your creative process, I'd love you to join me in my upcoming online course, The Visionary Portfolio. The e-course includes lively discussions, personal guidance, and weekly photography projects designed to help photographers build momentum and confidence. I absolutely love teaching this course and seeing students take meaningful new steps with their photography practice.
Questions? Want to learn more? Click on the class link to read all the fun details and see student feedback. Or, pop me an email if you have questions. Class begins on July 22nd and registration is now open.

Instead, they were either recreated by one of the former personnel who helped build KARR/KITT AND THEN stolen via hacking from said person's computer. Or, one of Tanya Walker's hackers stole MORE than just Wilton's plane designs (KARR's schematic basics) but only gave Tanya what she was after. This person hung on to the plans for an incredible amount of years until either this person lost/sold/traded the plans for cash, had then stolen via hacking or just got around to building a brand new car for whatever purposes. Where this idea is concerned, we could even be so brash as to claim that someone pulled off the old "Remote 'Open door' override trick" and made off with KITT's physical blueprints. (I don't remember what they called that book in Goliath.)
After all, it DOES NOT HAVE TO come from The Foundation to be stolen. It's not like FLAG is giving all their current/former employees the "Government plan", (Top secret: Tell anyone and you won't see tomorrow.) now is it?
I support the classy portrait of Devon hanging on the wall, as well. Seems far better than this re-incarnated holographic concept. After all, if the movies overuse dead stars today via tricks/computer magic, will tomorrow's "non-animated" movies be made totally out of CGI people? Is that what we really want?

As to your specific question about where Basal Eurasian was "hiding", if I may rephrase it that way, I really don't know. Lazaridis et al seem to be hinting toward Arabia, but the "Red Sea" area might be more precise? That would include the North African side of the Red Sea.
As for movement during the Neolithic, we don't have the genome of a Near Eastern farmer. However, we have a genome from the LBK farmer, and we are told she was 44% Basal Eurasian, plus or minus 10%. We also know from the yDna and mtDna and archaeology and papers like Paschou et al, that the Neolithic farmers moved from the Near East north and then north west into Europe.
They also, of course, moved east toward India, as one of the recent archaeology papers with very accurate dating pointed out. The prevailing opinion seems to be that they also spread west along the coast of North Africa and eventually deeper south into Africa itself as pastoralists.
Now, whether some of them also crossed the straits of Gibraltar into the Iberian peninsula, that argument has been made to explain some of the E-M81 in Spain, as I pointed out on the thread about Iberian genetics. I know that there has been some speculation that perhaps some R1b also made that trip. It's certainly possible, I would think, for something like R1b V88. Perhaps, some intrepid souls braving the currents in the Mediterranean also made the trip to Sicily or Sardinia directly from the coasts of North Africa, and that could explain the presence of that particular clade in those islands.
However, as to the P-312 in Europe, it seems to me that the current evidence is heavily in favor of that type of R1b being an ANE derived lineage that mixed with farmers and WHG/UHG somewhere to the east and then moved into Europe from there.

Sometimes called a fixed partial denture, a bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth and literally "bridges" the gap where one or more teeth used to be. Bridges can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain or a combination of these materials and are attached to surrounding teeth for support. Unlike a removable bridge, which you can take out and clean, a fixed bridge can only be removed by a dentist.
An implant bridge attaches artificial teeth directly to the jaw or under the gum tissue. Depending on which type of bridge your dentist recommends, its success depends on the foundation. So it's very important to keep your remaining teeth healthy and strong.
Traditional bridges involve creating a crown for the tooth or implant on either side of the missing tooth, with a pontic in between. Traditional bridges are the most common type of bridge and are made of either porcelain fused to metal or ceramics.
Cantilever bridges are used when there are adjacent teeth on only one side of the missing tooth or teeth. This is not very common any more and is not recommended in the back of the mouth where it can put too much force on other teeth and damage them.
Maryland bonded bridges (also called a resin-bonded bridge or a Maryland bridge) are made of porcelain, porcelain fused to metal, or plastic teeth and gums supported by a metal or porcelain framework. Metal or porcelain wings often on just one side of the bridge are bonded to your existing teeth.
During the first visit, the abutment teeth are prepared. This involves re-shaping these teeth by removing a portion of enamel and dentin to allow room for a crown to be placed over them. Next, impressions of your teeth are made. These impressions serve as a model from which the bridge, false tooth/teeth, and crowns will be made by a dental laboratory. Your dentist will make a temporary bridge for you to wear to protect the exposed teeth while your bridge is being made.
During the second visit, your temporary bridge will be removed and the new permanent bridge will be checked and adjusted, as necessary, to achieve a proper fit. Multiple visits may be needed to check the fit of the metal framework and bite of your teeth. If the dental bridge is a fixed (permanent) bridge, your dentist may temporarily cement it in place for a couple of weeks to make sure it is fitting properly. After a couple weeks, the bridge is permanently cemented into place.
If you have any questions about your bridges contact your dentist. Be sure to schedule regular dental checkups, too.

Writing on various notepads and scribbling with a pencil.
Just the sounds of myself sharpening a bunch of pens and writing with them to test the results. Enjoy!
YouTuber writes on a piece of paper with a variety of his favorite mechanical pencils. Lots of clicking and writing sounds, but no voice.
Peter Unbehauen from YouTube demonstrates the joy of writing with fountain pens in this voiceless video. He uses a FLEX&WET fountain pen and repeatedly writes out 'The joy of writing with fountain pens' on a piece of paper. It makes a very soothing sound as it moves onto the paper.

With Blue Sky Bloodstock playing a strong part in the action of the recent Magic Millions Yearling Sale securing ten yearlings in total, three outstanding colts still have shares available in them.
Mid-way through the second day of selling, Blue Sky went to $310,000 with trainer Danny O'Brien to purchase Lot 471, a colt from the Kelly's Newhaven Park, the vendor of not only last year's top lot, but they also sold Unencumbered, the winner of the 2014 Magic Millions 2YO Classic the year prior.
By Arrowfield Stud's Group One-winning and producing son of Redoute's Choice in Snitzel, the bay colt is the first live foal from the stakes-placed Red Ransom mare Movie, herself a daughter of the Listed winner Strawberry Storm.
With mares by Red Ransom producing over 90 stakes winners highlighted by seven Group One winners including Devil May Care, Mahbooba and War Command, the Danehill-line stallion x Red Ransom Cross has produced Group One winners Rollout The Carpet, Temida and Red Ruler as well as the speedy juvenile Group Two winner Chance Bye.
Keen on another lot from the draft of Newhaven Park, Blue Sky Bloodstock teamed up with leading Gold Coast-based trainer Toby Edmonds to purchase Lot 502 for $140,000.
By the Champion first season sire I Am Invincible; a colt Edmonds trained early in his career, the racy looking yearling is out of the Desert Prince mare Pacific Dreams, interestingly a half-sister to the dam of I Am Invincible.
From the family of Group One winner Diamond Drille, Group Two winners Mamzelle Pedrille and O'Lonhro as well as the Listed pair of Madame Pedrille and M'Lady Pedrille, we are really excited to have our first horse in the stable of Edmonds.
The final colt we currently have shares available in was purchased from the draft of Queensland-based Rosari Farm.
Knocked down to Blue Sky Bloodstock and Gai Waterhouse Racing for $380,000, Lot 536 is by Exceed And Excel, the sire of this year's Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner Le Chef, is out of the well-related Ustinov mare Quack It.
The first foal of Quack It, who is herself a half-sister to Anatina (Fastnet Rock), a Listed-winning, Group One placegetter as well as the Listed winner Pricked – Albatross (HK), there are no fewer than four stakes performers in the first three generations by Danehill-line stallions, just like our colt, showing that that cross works.
With each of our colts more than capable of being part of the 2016 Magic Millions Race Day, with prizemoney of $10 million on offer, we look forward to welcoming new owners to the Blue Sky Bloodstock team and if you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to call Julian Blaxland on 0431 746 803.

Purchased from: http://www.teahorse.co.uk
Price: £1.50 (Sample pack)
I don't usually buy blends of tea but as I got this as a sample I thought who better than to get a decent breakfast tea from than the lovely people at Teahorse. This combines both Assam and Ceylon to make something that gets your day off to a flyer.
The dry tea is pretty fine, a step up from teabags of course but not the usual quality leaf tea that I am becoming used to drinking. So how did it taste?
This lovely golden tea is exactly what it says but it isn't anything outstanding either. A nice brew that would work well with milk and sugar or a dash of honey but it just doesn't feel amazing either. It is what it is – a breakfast tea but it would be interesting to try blending my own Ceylon and Assam teas to see how that would taste.

Four teenage girls have admitted to charges of causing bodily harm to a female classmate, whom they accused of flirting with the boyfriend of one of the defendants, Ming Pao Daily reported Tuesday.
The four girls, three of them aged 15, allegedly punched and kicked their classmate at the backstairs of Sunshine City Plaza in Ma On Shan on April 7.
One of the defendants allegedly poured beer on the victim, broke the bottle and used a shard of glass to carve the Chinese character for "slutty" on the victim's thigh, the report said.
Another defendant followed suit, carving a smiley face on the victim's thigh.
The victim sustained multiple injuries to her thigh and was hospitalized for days.
Judge Ivy Chui Yee-mei said that it was a brutal act to injure someone with a broken piece of glass. She will hand out the sentences on Dec. 15, after reviewing the reports on the four defendants.
The defendants pleaded for leniency, saying they acted in the heat of the moment and did not realize the consequences of their actions.
It was revealed that one of the girls got furious after finding out that the victim was getting very friendly with her boyfriend, and that the victim was calling her names on social media. This prompted the defendant to seek revenge, the report said.

As we choose to follow Jesus and choose to allow His Holy Spirit to work in our lives, He begins to show us how horrible sin is, how much power it has over us, and how much suffering it causes. This working of the Holy Spirit leads to intense guilt—shame that we've fallen so low, and that, even when we know what is right, we still go back to our old habits.
How can we be set free from this guilt? How can we find harmony with God?
What we need is peace. The bad news is that there is absolutely nothing we can do to get it. The good news is that God gives it to us as a gift (John 14:27). All you have to do is reach out and take it.
"Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool" (Isaiah 1:18).
"A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you" (Ezekiel 36:26).
Often I've found it difficult to believe that God would be willing to accept me yet again. But if we have told Jesus we're sorry for what we've done, firmly decided we do not want to commit those sins any more, and resolved to give ourselves to God, we can be 100% confident that, when we ask, He will wash away our sins and give us new hearts. How can we be so confident of this?
Because He has promised.
"Come let us reason together saith the Lord, though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow" (Isaiah 1:18).
When God promises us something, and we believe that we receive what He has promised, the promised thing is ours.
All Jesus' miracles were designed to teach us that, when we believe God forgives us, we have His forgiveness. Referring to Jesus's miracles, John said, "But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name" (John 20:31).
The simple story of Jesus healing the paralyzed man at the pool of Bethesda teaches us how to accept Christ's forgiveness. Jesus asked a paralyzed man to "Rise, take up thy bed, and walk" (John 5:8). If I were that man, I'm afraid I probably would have said something like, "Look at me! I'm paralyzed. I can't walk. You heal me first, and then I'll get up and walk."
But that's not what he said.
Instead, he decided to walk, and then he did walk. He acted on Jesus' promise, and God supplied the power he needed. He was healed.
We're just like that paralyzed man. We're sinners. We can't shake our guilt. We can't make our hearts pure, but God promises to do all this for us through Christ. So, the steps to receive these blessings become very simple:
- Believe God's promise.
- Tell God you're sorry for what you've done.
- Tell Him that you want to serve Him.
- Decide with all your heart to serve Him.
If you do these four simple things, God absolutely, 100%, no-doubt-about-it, will fulfill His promise to you. When you believe God's promises of forgiveness and cleansing, God supplies the fact. You are forgiven. You are cleansed.
Don't wait to feel forgiven or cleansed. Say, "No matter what I feel, I believe it because God promised it."
"What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them" (Mark 11:24). This promise is conditional—it only applies to asking for things that are according to God's will (1 John 5:14, 15). But forgiveness for sin and a changed life are according to God's will. We can ask for these, believe that we have them, and then thank God that we do have them.
Now you belong to the Creator of the universe. You are a part of God's family. Don't draw back. Every day decide again to give your heart and life to Him. Ask Him to give you His Holy Spirit and grace to keep you just this day. "As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him" (Colossians 2:6).
It's easy to think that we have to earn God's blessing, but we can claim His blessing right now. Without the blessings of His Spirit and grace, resisting evil is impossible. We can come to Jesus just like we are, and then He will heal us from our sins and purify our hearts.
It can be very tempting to think that Jesus doesn't pardon me, even if He does pardon other people. We must put away this suspicion! When you follow the four steps to forgiveness, Jesus forgives you, yes, you. He longs to empower you to live a victorious life. No matter how sinful you are, He can and will deliver you. Don't let your doubt prevent Him.
God isn't like we are. He doesn't hold grudges. "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon" (Isaiah 55:7).
Satan wants to take away every bit of hope we have. Do not let him do it! Don't even listen to him! "For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye" (Ezekiel 18:32). Repeat God's promises. Say decidedly, "I know God loves me. He died for me. I know I've hurt Him. I will go and ask Him for forgiveness, and ask to be one of His servants." When you do this, Jesus will respond exactly like the prodigal's father: "And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him" (Luke 15:20; see also verses 18, 19).
But even the story of the prodigal son doesn't do justice to the incomprehensible love of God. "The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee" (Jeremiah 31:3). While we are still in the world, wasting the many gifts God has given us, He longs to have us near Him, to heal our wounds; and He works proactively through His Holy Spirit to awaken an answering call in our hearts.
Can we really doubt God's love for us when God has given us so many precious promises? Put away these thoughts! Nothing is more damaging to our souls than to believe Satan's lies regarding our heavenly Father. He hates sin, but He loves every sinner.
Come to Jesus. Don't let your doubts nor your many failures stop you. Thank God for His blessings. Claim them as your own. Remember that His promises are tokens of His love and pity for you.
"As you draw near to Him with confession and repentance, He will draw near to you with mercy and forgiveness" (Steps to Christ, 55).

The Huygens probe descended through Titan's atmosphere in January 2005. On board was the Surface Science Package (SSP), a set of nine sensors, which included a speed-of-sound sensor. We present a detailed description of the SSP speed of sound measurements and report constraints on the methane content in Titan's lower atmosphere based on these measurements. After extensive instrument calibration and subsequent Bayesian analysis of the data, the most likely result derived from our measurements in Titan's lower atmosphere is a methane fraction of approximately 2% at 10 km, increasing to 3.5% at lower altitudes. These estimates are based on a binary composition. Our data show that any large scale variation of methane within the lower 11 km of Titan's atmosphere is unlikely. Within experimental and theoretical uncertainties, our estimates are lower than, but compatible with earlier estimates obtained from the mass spectrometry experiment.

Foods To Reduce Inflammation In Knee
What are Knee Brace for and Why You should Wear It?
A normal and healthy knee is important especially if you are into sports. You can flex, bend and kick your knee without feeling any pain, but when sprains or injury occurs, you cannot move your knee.
You need knee brace in order to bring back the flexibility of your knees. While your knee provides a simple function of moving, without those moves, it will be difficult to join any sports let alone walking. Knee braces are your friendly stuff to get you out of this miserable state of injury. Being in sports need a lot of care to keep every part of your body moving especially the knee where the need to run and bend depends.
For sports enthusiasts the problem that often occurs is injury. If you play basketball, volleyball, running and other sports where there is a need of vigorous flexibility, injury happens all the time and it happens at the least expected time.
If you suffer from any injury and is unable to move your knee, considering using knee brace is important, rather than going to a Doctor for surgery, though it is important also to go to a doctor when an injury happens but it would be lighter to feel your knees on knee brace rather than seeing it in surgery.
Knee braces are many and it will be helpful if you know each one of them so that you will be able to use the right kind of knee brace for a specific sports injury.
The so called functional knee brace. They are basically use for injury on the patella and the anterior ligament. It is also use to correct bone dislocation. A functional brace use on the knee works well to this kind of injury. This kind of injury takes place when your knee is hit badly and often times you hear a crack sound from the knee and once it happens, it feels like it is impossible to move.
The prophylactic knee braces. The design is not to be used when an injury happens, but rather it is use as precautionary measures. A prophylactic knee braces are use before indulging into a sports. It gives additional weight to the knee thus supporting it from possible injury or accident.
The rehabilitative Knee Braces. If you suffered from injury and the doctor advice for surgery, a rehabilitative knee brace is used to support the knee. This kind of knee brace is quite longer in size as it allows movement freely while you are on the recovery period.
The transitional knee braces. They are often use after the rehabilitative brace on your knee is removed from your knee. It is used to prevent further injury while you are playing sports.
A knee braces are made to support your knee. Sometimes they are called pads to protect the knee or others call it protective gear pad. Those sports people who use a knee brace can continue playing their sports without having to worry about injury.

We've had our 4 hot days of summer in Scotland this year and it was lovely.
It was warm, it felt summery, but then comes the ultimate panic - What on earth do I wear?
Summer 2016 is all about the:
Carry a chic handheld fan for the hot train journeys or moments you may be taken off guard by the heat.
Water in handbag will help you to cool down if need be.
Regular touch ups of the makeup will ensure you do not look like the heat has caught you off guard.
This is all 'in case' Scotland has it's second round of sun on it's way.
Keep in touch monthly (or even more frequently with us*).
* We promise not to virtually stalk you, it will be (at max) weekly round ups and elements that it would be rude not to tell you about...
