I just booked our first family trip (minus Sarah) to Disney!! I am just GIDDY!! We go Jan. 25-29! We are flying, too, which is another happy! This trip has been in the planning stages for a year or more, so I'm so excited to actually have REAL DATES to go! We aren't telling Beth until a few days before we leave!! YIPPEE! I'm planning to book a time at the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique for Beth to be get all dolled up (and maybe me, too!) and that will be the same day she gets to go to Epcot to the Princess luncheon! Think she'll dig that??

I was diagnosed with VIRAL TORTICOLLIS a week ago, after dealing with HORRIBLE neck and upper back pain for a few days in Lexington (I literally couldn't turn my head and any movement at all hurt like the dickens!) I'm taking some hefty Motrin and muscle relaxers now (only at night), but, I'm really not getting a lot better. They even tested me for menongitis (eek -scary!), but it was negative, thankfully! So, I'm stuck with a sore, stiff neck for now. Its really a pain in the a$$! The doc wants me to cut my muscle relaxers in half and take them during the day, too, to see if that helps! I hate taking "those" kind of prescriptions - the ones that make me feel so "out of it." I even hate some allergy medications for the same reason. I just don't like feeling so out of control of my own body.
What is torticollis?
Torticollis, also known as wryneck, is a twisting of the neck that causes the head to rotate and tilt at an odd angle.
Torticollis is caused by irritation to cervical nerves, which results in spasm of the neck muscles. In addition to vigorous movement or injury, torticollis may be caused by the following:
sleeping in an awkward position
neck muscle injury at birth
burn injury
any injury that causes heavy scarring and skin shrinkage
neck muscle spasm
herniated disc
viral or bacterial infection
What are the symptoms of torticollis?
The following are the most common symptoms of torticollis. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
neck muscle pain or pain down the spine
inability to turn the head, usually holding it twisted to one side
spasm of the neck muscles
awkward position of the chin

The Apple Orchard and Pumpkin Patch!
We FINALLY made it to the Apple Orchard today...and what a let down. I don't think we'll go back. Only AFTER purchasing apples I ASSUMED were grown there, I learned that they were bought in from somewhere else because the April freeze killed most of their apple blossoms. I could have gone to Walmart and bought the exact same apples. Geez. So anyway, we let the girls play in the corn pit and that was interesting. It had some foul odor that was just awful, so we scooped them out of there and went to pet the farm animals. Okay - so they had two goats, 4 piglets a calf and an older calf and two gineau pigs (at a petting zoo?) and three ducks...none of which looked healthy, but they entertained the girls for a few moments. After about 45 minutes, we were outa there....overall, it wasn't a great experience. SOOO, we decided to stop at the pumpkin patch, the same one that Beth's nursery school class goes to, on the way home. It was SO much better....cleaner and the animals looked nice and healthy and there was more to do. But, as luck would have it, I ran out of "space" on my digital camera and didn't get many great shots at the Pumpkin Patch. Oh well. We were there for about 1 1/2 hours and then went to eat dinner at DQ (of all places!) . Both girls were in bed by 7:00! Day well done!

Sarah ...18 months old.
Sarah is 18 months old now.....so we went today for her 18 month check-up and guess what - she's still little! Big surprise, I know! She's 21 1/2 lbs and 31 1/2 inches tall. That is how big Beth was at her 12 month check-up. Everyone always asks why Sarah looks so much younger than Beth did at this age...well the answer is she is just SMALLER! Plain and simple! The doctor says she will catch up - no worries! I don't think he ever met my grandmother Honey, though! She was a TINY woman....maybe Sarah is taking after her?? That would be a good thing! Sarah is doing everything she is supposed to be doing at 18 months and saying MANY more words than the "norm" at this age. I'd say I can understand between 30-40 words if I actually wrote them all down. Now, I'm not sure ANYONE else would understand all those words, but I sure do! She's still spunky, fiesty and energetic! There's no slowing her down!

Ky Horse Park - Then and Now
In 2004 when we took Beth to her first UK game in Lexington, we also made a stop at the Kentucky Horse Park that Sunday morning before heading home. She loved the statues and running free and getting her "horsey" (little stuffed horse she STILL sleeps with), but HATED the real horses and was terrified of them. This time around - 3 years later and with a little sister in tow - she LOVED them and even rode a pony! That's BIG, believe me! Of course, just like everything else that is different between the two siblings, Sarah LOVED the horses an she was just fascinated. It was like de ja vu - we did a quick tour of the park and then played on the playground and JUST LIKE IN 2004 - it was MELT DOWN time when we left the playground to go eat. Beth had the meltdown..not Sarah! MAJOR MELTDOWN! Sarah had a few tears, but she was just plain hungry!
There are LOTS of other pictures I could post, but I'd bore you to death with pictures of beautiful horse and horse country and my beautiful daughters in the middle of the beautiful horse country! Okay....just one picture of pretty Kentucky horse country...
The rolling hills...the spralling white fences...totally Kentucky! Love it!

Lessons learned from having TWO children...and other observations from a weekend in Lexington....
I have a LOT to say & lots of pictures, to hang in there with me for a while.
2) Taking a small child INTO a football game isn't easy, but it isn't hard. At least ONE person gets to watch the game, while the other one entertains. Taking TWO into a football game is a "whole new ballgame" in itself. Add a serious case of the "tireds," plus the heat of the scorching afternoon sun and you've got TWO miserable children. That would equal two miserable adults. I don't think I watched two consectutive plays the entire time we were there.
3) Two tired children + one stroller = problems.
6) Getting a picture with all four of us is next to impossible. IMPOSSIBLE.
7) No matter how big of deal you make, a 4 year old will never understand "engagement." Oh yeah...did I mention my brother is engaged?!?!?! YIPPEE!!! Information to follow in the next few days/weeks.....
Okay - so let me recap the things that Beth LOVED about the weekend:
1) getting to throw peanut shells on the floor at Logans. WOW!

Use promo code CITY85 for 85% off your purchase. Not valid on sale or clearance shoes. BUT - EIGHT-FIVE PERCENT OFF EVERYTHING ELSE!!! I got two pairs of shoes for Sarah for this winter in the next size up for under $9. (plus shipping, which was $7.50). So -total was a tad under $16 for 2 pairs of nice shoes - I can't even do that at Target! HURRY - I have no clue when the code expires and the inventory seemed to be drindling.....

Some random thoughts...
1) My cousin David is engaged! YEAH!! He is going to marry an adorable girl that the whole family just adores...Sherry. No details yet on a wedding date...but nothing big is expected. We saw "the ring" last night at his big dinner party and WOW! You did good, Dave! Wonder who in the family will be next? Hum.......
2) UK beat LSU! HOLY COW!! The Bluegrass was rocking Saturday night! Its a BIG DEAL to beat the No. 1 team in the country and not because it was "luck" or a "fluke," but because we are REALLY THAT GOOD this year! Bring on Florida! We are GOING to that game...with both girls in tow, so that should be a real experience...but should also produce some excellent Kodak moments! Does anyone have any good ideas on how to keep an 18 month old "contained" at the tailgate party???
3) We went to Murray State Homecoming on Saturday. I'm not entirely sure why we keep going. Everytime one or both of us come home mad. The fraternity just ISN'T the same anymore and its not going to change just for a Homecoming event. A few other things were very apparent to us this year, too....no need to divulge details at this time...or anytime. Hence, I don't think either of us would be "sad" to miss any more MSU Homecomings. I'd rather go to the Ham Festival, apple orchard or the pumpkin patch....or something else to make fun fall memories with my kids. While I do want my girls to know I graduated from MSU and I'm proud of the education I got there, I'm just not sure attending a Homecoming parade and Tent City for 30 minutes is the way to let them know about their parents' college background. With as much as we do AT UK in Lexington and the games on TV, etc....I think they think we went to UK. We hardly ever talk about MSU...we don't watch their sports games (IF there are even on TV). Given a UK event or a MSU event, we're going to chose the UK event, hands down, each time, because, well...its much more fun! Kinda sad, huh? I don't know why our loyalties never remained true to The Racers? Don't get me wrong, I'm PROUD to be a Racer alumni, but when it comes to school spirt, its all about THE WILDCATS! I guess its because in this state, its all about the BIG BLUE from the moment you are born, regardless of where you eventually end up for college. (and how crazy is this...sometimes I tend to show my "2nd" loyatly to Alabama, even though I only went there for a year and it was a BAD experience...strange how that works out.)
4) Nothing new to report on Beth or Sarah - both are good and healthy....although a tad cranky. Sarah is cutting her "canine" or "eye" teeth. Beth is just tired, I think. I'm going to spend the week trying to get everyone in bed early or ON TIME at least, so we'll all be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for the big upcoming weekend in Lexington!

Beth's Trip to Florida with Grammy & Dandaddy
As I have made reference to these last several weeks, Beth got to go on her own little vacation with her Grammy & Dandaddy! This is the 2nd time I've let her go by herself and both times have gone very smoothly. I'm not sure she even missed us! She was gone a total of 8 days, too! Here are some of the pictures my mom took....
This is Beth proudly holding the hermit crab she caught....it sadly didn't survive the week.
One of her favorite things to do in Destin is to feed the seagulls popcorn. You can see from this picture that those dang birds follow her around like puppies when she is holding the popcorn bag!
The below picture was taken the Thursday night of the UK v. South Carolina game (we lost - bummer), but notice the brown boots! I had asked mom to take her to the Stride Rite outlet to get her feet sized and she came out with these boots and mom said she INSISTED on wearing them to dinner that night....whatever, right? Nothing cuter than a pink shirt, pink shorts and brown suede boots! Hehehehe - reminds me of that McDonalds' commercial where the little girl wears boots, a big hat and a feather boa to McD's.....
The last day they were there, I think Beth was "done" with the beach & sand, so they took her to the Gulfarium in Ft. Walton. Here she is petting starfish.
It all makes me a little jealous since I love it down in Destin! BUT, I know she is building great memories by herself!
Next on our October agenda: MSU Homecoming and cousin David's family dinner! :-)

Is it Seriously October??
I have lots to say today! (Leia - see post below)! We had a nice calm weekend....partly because we all just needed some down time, partly because Beth was too exhausted to get off the couch after her 8-day escapade in Florida and partly because Sarah came down with the 24-hour "Bug" on Saturday night.
And I'm glad I ran into a short sleeve Halloween shirt for Beth...might be all she gets to wear this year!
It felt very strange putting up fall/Halloween decorations this weekend when it was 90 degrees...something about that just isn't right! BUT, the good news is that by next weekend, we'll be in the low '70's again! YEAH! Maybe we WILL get a fall, afterall!
*I'll put up a few pictures of Beth in Florida later this week!

So what exactly ARE Gymbucks, you ask?
Good question! I love the store Gymboree...not only because of the coordinating lines of adorable clothing (most of the time), but really because their clothes hold up GREAT! The stuff that Sarah is just now outgrowing that has been worn by Beth and Sarah still looks great!! It doesn't fade and I've NEVER had an issue with holes, rips, etc....its just basically all around great clothing. That being said, I REFUSE to and I have NEVER paid full price for anything Gymboree. Ever. I wait for the lines to go at least 40% off before I buy anything...or if I get a coupon in the mail or whatever. The last round that I bought, I had a 20% off coupon, ON TOP OF THE ONLINE SALE they had going on, which was an extra 20% off everything on sale. I got a ton of spring/summer things for Beth and a few fall things for both girls. I think I got a total of 12-15 items all together and paid around $62.
Okay - so Gymbucks.....a few times a year, they offer Gymbucks. So, for ever $50 you spend at the store or online during that time (its usually a 3-4 week period), you earn $25 in Gymbucks towards a $50 purchase. So - if you buy $62 in clothing like I did, you earn $25 in Gymbucks. Spend $100, get $50 in Gymbucks; spend $150 and get $75 in Gymbucks....and so on and so on. Then a few weeks later, they have Gymbucks Redemption time, which TYPICALLY coincides with a release of a big line (like Christmas or their first Summer line). You only have about a week to redeem the Gymbucks, so inventory usually goes FAST during this time. Its their own little inventory reduction sale. To redeem the Gymbucks, you have to spend twice the amount of the Gymbuck (before tax). Its BASICALLY just like getting 50% off anything in the store. So...I hit the 40% off Sale stuff and used my Gymbucks for that. I spent RIGHT at $55 or so dollars....so after redeeming my $25 in Gymbucks, I only paid $30 for 2 complete outfits that would have normally cost well over $100 at full price. Make sense?

Home Sweet Home
We're back from Indy. It was a nice vacation and it was fun to see our old stomping ground and old friends. The town is growing and our old "subburb" is REALLY booming with lots of new retail and restaurants. I shopped for 4 days while Bob went to his seminar. I tried to get most of my Christmas shopping done for the girls...and I think I just about did. I'm going to wait to finish up Beth's shopping after she gives me her "list," but I think Sarah is DONE with the exception of a few items - probably books. There is a new Gymboree store in Greenwood, so I was able to redeem my Gymbucks at the store instead of online, which was a GOOD thing! I think I was in the store for at least 45 minutes! Oops! But I got Beth 2 cute outfits for the fall/winter!
We picked up Sarah last night, but Beth is still in Florida until Saturday or Sunday...not sure what day they are coming home, yet. I'd forgotten how EASY it is with just one kid around the house! Its so weird....and quiet!!
This weekend is going to be relatively low-key I think. Bob is going fishing and I may or may not take Sarah to the apple orchard. Its supposed to be HOT, so I'm not sure that is the best idea. Next weekend is MSU Homecoming and the weekend after that we go see UK play Florida in Lexington! It will be Sarah's first BIG BLUE experience! We're trying to get her pumped up and even taught her the Wildcat growl! Hehehehe!

A devastating tragedy emerged from Branson, Missouri on Thursday evening. According to reports, multiple people died and several others have been hospitalized as the result of a boating accident.
Around 7:00 PM local time, a tourist boat carrying roughly 30 individuals capsized and sank on Table Rock Lake in Missouri. A severe thunderstorm generating powerful winds reportedly caused the boat to overturn in the water, reported NBC News.
Authorities are referring to this tragic situation as a "mass casualty incident."
As of 11:00 PM ET, at least eight people have been confirmed dead; the number of people hospitalized is unclear. Others remain unaccounted for, but a search is underway.
"It will be a challenging night and into tomorrow," Stone County Sheriff Doug Rader stated on Thursday night.
Currently, few details — including the identities of the victims — are known. This story is developing and will be updated as more information is released to the public.
In the meantime, please pray for the victims of this horrible tragedy. May God bring their friends and family comfort during this difficult time.
In more uplifting news, Christian sports star Tim Tebow recently confirmed his relationship with a new special someone.

A Family | In-Home Lifestyle Session | Barnstable, MA
Lifestyle sessions are quickly becoming my new favorite type of session to capture. What are lifestyle sessions? These are sessions where I come into your home and capture everyday life, and moments as they happen. I do take some "posed" photos, but mainly we just go with the flow and capture whatever happens! I love these sessions because I'm able to create memories from real moments of laughter and fun with your children. I feel these photos are more treasured as they showcase you and your family being themselves.
Taking these photos in your home also allows for a more relaxed environment. Children tend to warm up quicker, and therefore I'm able to get some fun moments I might otherwise not have been able to if we were in a strange place. This recent family session was so much fun! They have three beautiful children, who were just full of energy and smiles. I adore these photos, and I hope you will as well!

In an attempt to not take myself too seriously, and yet at the same time, think deeply, I've decided to start a new segment on my blog called, "Doug Down Deep." Some readers may notice that I borrowed the title from Josh Harris' new book, Dug Down Deep. I heard Harris speak on this topic (at T4G) and it was very helpful. My version will not be a book ... I'm not that deep, but just short snippets of wisdom to pass along from time to time. So without further ado, here's my first little quote I used to explain to 6th graders their sinfulness and Christ's goodness in the story of the pharisee and the tax collector.
"Instead of thinking that you are good, you need to know that you are bad, and trust the one who really is good."

Haryana government extends olive branch, but Jats firm on stir
Rohtak remains cut off for the fourth consecutive day, thanks to the ongoing agitation by members of the Jat community, especially the youths, who have blocked all the roads and railway tracks in the region to pressurise the government to go beyond the Supreme Court's ruling and accept their demand of reservation for Jat community under OBC category.punjab Updated: Feb 17, 2016 21:35 IST
The ongoing blockade of roads and rail tracks in Haryana by Jats over the quota issue intensified on Wednesday, even as the state government agreed to double the existing 10% reservation in jobs and educational institutions for economically backward persons (EBP) in the general caste category and including Jats and four other castes under it. It was also decided to enhance the annual income ceiling from Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 6 lakh to accommodate more people under the EBP quota.
Chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar said a committee formed under the chairmanship of the chief secretary to study all aspects of reservation for special backward classes (SBC) and suggest the best way forward, would submit its report before the forthcoming budget session of the Haryana assembly. He said the committee would consider all suggestions, including that of bringing an appropriate legislation in this regard.
While Rohtak continues to be the epicentre of the protests, the districts of Jhajjar, Sonepat, Hisar, Fatehabad, Bhiwani and Jind are also feeling the impact of the agitation.
The developments took place after four hours of parleys by Khattar with a group of Jat leaders at his Chandigarh residence. However, the agitating Jats seemed reluctant to pull out and end their agitation.
Akhil Bharatiya Jat Aarakshan Sangharsh Samiti (ABJASS) chief Yashpal Malik said: "In my opinion, the state government is trying to mislead Jats of Haryana by floating this proposal. But the final decision about the agitation will be taken on Thursday." Malik said their demand was that the Haryana Vidhan Sabha should pass a Bill providing reservation to Jats.
Mahender Singh Mor, president of the Akhil Bharatiya Jat Aarakshan Samiti, told newspersons after the meeting in Chandigarh that they were not fully satisfied with the decisions taken and that their agitation would continue.
Meanwhile, finance minister Capt Abhimanyu told mediapersons that the CM had agreed to increase the EBP quota (from 10% to 20%) and the annual income limit to make room for Jats, Jat Sikhs, Rors, Tyagis and Bishnois.
He said the representatives were told that since the reservation under the SBC quota done by the previous Congress government had been stayed by the Punjab and Haryana high court, the EBP quota would be increased.

text: June Self Portrait Challenge: environment # 2 /June 21, 2007 by Christina Rosalie This place is big with words, with ideas, with art. The walls remember e.e. cummings and Stanley Kunitz; Grace Paley's voice and Mary Oliver's eye for noticing the profound in minute details. A fish weathervane tilts out my window. A long catwalk connects the studios; roses tumble wildly below. I stand in the mirror taking pictures to remember this, so that when everything else pushes in, I'll have snapshots with light flooding through big windows and the fan whirring. I'll have Pam Houston's voice and the laughter of other students sharing work. I'll have the images of Robert Yarboroughs paintings dancing like sunspots on the inside of my eyelids, and Wired Puppy coffee, and houses painted lavender and lemon and ocean blue. I'll have the memory of hours writing, quiet pooling up like water around me; and I'll have the seal's slick wet heads bobbing up out of the water to eye me sitting, sand flecking my calves, alone on the shore.

Yesterday Stephen Byers apologised to parliament for "an inadvertent error" that had caused him to give "factually inaccurate" evidence to the transport select committee. He even lies about lying.
A few months ago he said it was "not a truthful statement and I apologise for that." Now its just factually inaccurate, in a few months time it will have become an honest answer at this rate.
Inadvertent my arse, it was the political equivalent of a footballer's professional foul, what a pathetic liar.
UPDATE: The Speaker has given leave for MPs to give him a kicking.

Dear Freshbook,
First, thank you for a great ticket system! I have a feature request, please.
Would you please consider creating Scheduled Replies? For example, I can compose replies at night and schedule them to send during normal business hours?
I do not want the client to know I am working at night. I prefer them to receive my reply in the morning at a time I set.
Are scheduled replies on the roadmap at all? coming from outlook we really miss this feature.
Yeah I'd like to know this too. Could be a deal breaker.

We don't want the users to know we worked at night for them .....

Indeed it's been quite a long time since I had a post show up here and that's purely been my schedule all of 2018.
The major update I have to share is that I've decided to move my operations in posting new Paranormal Hub stuff to my book URL at www.phantomsfillthesouthernskies.com. The reason being that, while I like Blogger for use and development, its SEO operations have not been updated to modern internet protocol and I'm not getting the kind of traction I wanted. My Phantoms site is built in Wordpress which I also have experience in and has the kind of SEO tools I'm looking for.
I've not decided yet what then to do with this site, but I'll keep what's posted on at least for any archival value it may have.
Updates soon to come! Thank you!

3,500+ Occult Manuscripts To be Made Available Online For Free
Still too busy these days to post more regularly scheduled material for the site, but I'll still try to share some worthwhile things on-topic in the meantime.
This is one of them:
From the article: "Many a writer, like Brown, has found inspiration among the Ritman's more accessible works (though, sadly, Borges, who was blind in 1984 and died two years later, could not have appreciated it). Now, thanks to the Da Vinci Code author's magnanimity, a new generation of scholars will be able to virtually access, for example, the first English translation of the works of 17-century German mystic Jakob Böhme, which librarian and director Esther Ritman describes as "travelling in an entire new world."
In an introductory essay, the Ritman notes that academic interest in occult and hermetic writing has increased lately among scholars like W.J. Hanegraaff, who tells "the 'neglected' story of how the intellectual community since the Renaissance has tried to come to terms with 'esoteric' and 'occult' currents present in Western culture." That those currents are as much a part of the culture as the scientific or industrial revolutions need not be in doubt. The Hermetically Open project opens up that history with "an invitation to anyone wishing to consult or study sources belonging to the field of Christian-Hermetic Gnosis for personal, academic or other purposes." Look for the digitization project to hit the web in the coming months."

Graphically show ranking change
It would be nice to see the daily and monthly ranking changes graphically like Rank Checker, SEScout and Serpfox. This would make reporting much better.
Thanks for the suggestion, we already show the current, previous and top ranks. You can also click on the graph link on the row to see a summary of how the keyword rank has gone up and done.
I can't see any real advantage to these other sites/software.

Jack Willis commented
For me, the whole purpose of a rank tracker is to show the progress of my SEO campaigns for my own benefit and the benefit of my clients. Clients want to see where they were when they first hired me and where they are now and to see constant improvement. Traffic Travis doesn't allow me to do this as all it shows me is the current ranking, the previous ranking and the top ranking.
When i first do a link cycle for a client the dances are quite violent. Typically, they will drop out of the rankings, jump up to say to the top of page 2 and then drop down and settle a few places further down. The more link cycles i do, the less violent the dances are. It maybe that the client's site has come from nowhere in the rankings to position 14 say but the reporting on Traffic Travis will show a top rank of 10, a previous rank of 12 and a current rank of 14 making it look as if they have gone down in the rankings. The graph doesn't help much because it only shows the last few weeks.
In an ideal world, i would base all of my SEO reporting around a ranking graph. The graph would show the ranking progression over the period of the SEO campaign (or current year) and it would show when the link cycles were done and therefore the effect it had. SerpFox and SerpBook allow you to do this however their data centres are in the US and due to the local factors, the ranking are not accurate outside the US which isn't much use.
It would be great to be able to graphically show the rankings and be able to add events (SEO work done). For this to work, you would need to be able to customise the date range too
I hope that helps

Half way down the stairs
This month was all about staircases, random objects, and trying to get DD full face, teetering downstairs. Creating your 'person's' face in different angles, whilst retaining their characteristics, is a dedicated, practical, and conscious task. As I once read, if it isn't instinctive, you have to learn it.

As most of you probably know, for years now we've been operating under the 'Reel' banner.
We came on the scene with our original brand – ReelGood. This was where it all started and how we first got our name out there.
A few years ago we decided it was time to give the brand a refresh and take it to the next level. We wanted something that showed the growth and maturation process the brand, and ourselves, had been through. So we worked with Richards & Partners to produce the updated visual identity.
As much as we loved the most recent branding, we felt there was still another step to take.
We decided to develop a brand that embodied the philosophy which had formed in our business throughout the years. That brand came to fruition as 'brewery' - a brand which celebrates different people, processes and ideas funnelling together to create thirst quenching content.
With some solid design work from Blink Boys, we launched the new visual identity and got back to what we do best; producing engaging video content to help you tell your story.
If you're in need of some content for your business, get in touch on firstname.lastname@example.com.

How often are you willing to fail to get better? For Shizuka Arakawa, winner of the gold medal in figure skating at the 2006 Winter Olympics, it was more than 20,000 times.
In Talent Is Overrated, Geoff Colvinnotes:
[Arakawa] was twenty-four and had been training as a skater since age five. Winning the gold requires flawless performance of moves that the rest of us would consider simply impossible; Arakawa's specialty was something called a layback Ina Bauer--bending backward almost double with the feet pointing in opposite directions--leading into a three-jump combination. Perfecting such moves requires huge quantities of practice, and falling down during much of it. For Arakawa it took nineteen years....[and] at least twenty thousand derriere impacts on an unforgiving surface.[1]
I've been thinking about Arakawa, derriere impacts, and being our best for God. Of course the message of the gospel is that we don't DO anything to win God's favor, we simply rest in faith in what Jesus has DONE for us on the cross (Ephesians 2:8-9).
But shouldn't we who have been rescued and gifted and empowered WANT to be our best for God? Shouldn't He get our best devotion . . . our best service . . . our best witness . . . our best prayers . . . and our best efforts where we live, work, and play?
Paul reminds us, "you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body" (1 Corinthians 6:20). If we're going to glorify God by getting better then we're going to have to take some risks to improve -- and we're going to fall down. Colvin continues:
A study of figure skaters found that sub-elite skaters spent lots of time working on the jumps they could already do, while skaters at the highest levels spent more time on the jumps they couldn't do, the kind that ultimately win Olympic medals and involved lots of falling down before they're mastered....Landing on your butt 20,000 times is where great performance comes from.[2]
The message is simple, we're going to have to go out of our comfort zone to improve. And that means "landing on your butt." But for all those afraid of a hard fall there is good news. God says, For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again.[3]Why? Because our great God lifts us back up every time!
Where do you need to risk falling to get better for God?

So Planet of the Apes: Cataclysm finally wraps up with its last issue. It has been quite a series, but I would say that like most Planet movies recently it ended before it began. My rating on this issue is for the whole series. It hit some high notes but couldn't hold them long enough. Every time I got excited for the next issue it would soon disappoint my appetite. This last issue was no expectation. In 11, I was finally thinking that this series would come around. In 12, Milo narrates the whole issue. We see him in a space craft recording his last moments on his home planet. So now we jump back years. The last issue takes place over years. The whole issue felt so rushed. I know lots about the Ape culture, but this issue was so fast that I couldn't keep up with what was happening. One minute we are following Zaius and him following his strict code. The next we jump over a war between humans and apes. It lasted half a page. I don't quite understand why they ended it having us jump over years to get to an ending. Isn't that the new thing to never really end anything?
Milo is complaining about the fallen moon and how their world will not survive without it. This hasn't even been a big problem in the series at all. We have been focusing on Ape City and whether humans are intelligent or not. I was surprised to even see this story line come back into play and then it be the main story line for the rest of the issue.
The story I was most fascinating with was the apes that were mutated by their crops from bad water. We never really understood their religion or why some of them seemed good while others were plotting against Ape City. Well worry because these questions never get answered. I was so disappointed in never seeing what these apes had planned or why they dressed as humans. How would this benefit them in an ape world?
Anyway, Milo finally builds this ship and needs a crew in order to fly it. All of the characters that most readers probably enjoyed live. Expect for one and we really never built a connection with him anyway. Milo soon discovers that the ship isn't meant for space travel but for time travel. And we get an ending that most would predict knowing how all Planet of the Apes series end. Like I said the comic had some great issues and even if it gets a little boring the ending is what can make a series a good one. Here I felt so rushed into the plot and never really found ground. When the ending came I was not impressed with where the story led us.

…scanned from my archive. Luke and Clarice Bennett/
…scanned from my archive. This is one of my favorite photos of my parents, the only one of my father wearing a yarmulke. My parents both came from extremely different backgrounds and that may have had something to do with their attraction to each other. My mother's nice Jewish quiet home life may have seemed very stable and attractive to my father, while my father's crazy German Catholic, running from the Nazis all over Europe, background may have seemed adventurous to my mother. Although I don't think adventurous is what my father would use to describe his childhood. Back to Legacy Project

At the NFR: Coming off first cheque, barrel racer Guelly settling in
LAS VEGAS — It took a week at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo for all six members of Team Canada to earn a cheque.
Deb Guelly of Okotoks was the final team member to earn Vegas cash, doing so in Round 7 on Wednesday. For Guelly, it's been a long week, but it was an even longer year getting here.
"I didn't know I had a horse to do it, but it worked out that I did," Guelly said. "It really sucks to stay at home and watch it on TV, and last year I'm just like, 'I am getting freaking back there.' I guess that was a lot of it, I got tired of sitting at home watching it on TV."
A five-time Canadian Champion, Guelly qualified for her sixth NFR by the skin of her teeth on the last weekend of the season by less than $500.
"It was nice when it was over," Guelly said. "It took a little to sink in that I actually did make it. Two to three weeks before that I didn't think it was going to happen. It was pretty great that it did.
"That last month we won quite a lot. It worked in our favour."
Competing in Sin City, Guelly hasn't won as much as she'd like to have. Running three horses has been challenging to say the least.
"Last night was only my second run on him, so it's just figuring things out," Guelly said of Bud Light, registered as Peppy Colonel Tivo. "He's figuring what the ground is like. At least I know he can place, now we've just gotta go faster.
"I made a couple practice runs in a pen but that's my second run ever on that horse," Guelly said Thursday. "I haven't rode these horses before. The one I ran on Saturday was my horse but all the other horses, I literally got them a week ago.
"The other one I was running is still sore so he's not going to run," Guelly said of Oscar.
Already short on time and horsepower, Guelly was down to two mounts.
"Mine is too smart to run in there because the ground is so crappy that he will just slow down," Guelly said of horse Scooter. "I'm kinda down to one horse now (Bud Light). Figuring out each horse and what you have to do is the biggest thing. It's not exactly the place you want to try them out but I didn't really have a choice."
That choice was decided not long before the National Finals started.
"The girls horse I had in Canada, we had discussed maybe bringing him down but she just felt it was too far and too many runs to bring him down so she didn't want to send him down," Guelly said of Sonny, owned by Bobby Goodwin, the same horse she competed on at the CFR in Edmonton. "I was hoping to have him down here. I understand, it's her only good horse, so she just thought it was too much. That plan went out the window so then I had to find another plan."
Guelly finished just under 2/10ths back of sixth place in Round 8, stopping the watch in 14.07 seconds. A total of $4,231 may be low for winnings thus far, but two rounds that pay $26,731 each still remain.
"I guess that's just the way it goes, not much you can do with it you've just got to roll with it and do the best you can," Guelly said.
"We can make a lot of money still so we are just going to go make as much as we can."
Bareback rider Orin Larsen, Inglis, Man., took six rounds between cheques but got back on the board in Round 8, also known as Canadian night at the NFR. Larsen gritted out a score of 75.5 to place fourth for another $11,000 in earnings. That cheque moved his winnings at his first finals to $20,413 and moved him up to 12th in the world standings. Larsen stayed the same place in the aggregate in 13th as did brother Tyrel in the saddle bronc, thanks to another qualified ride that was out of the money.
A double-grab by Clint Laye, Cadogan, Alta., on Big Stone Rodeo's Spilled Perfume left him with a no score but it didn't move him anywhere in the aggregate. He's still ninth there but it did move him down to ninth in the world standings from eighth.
Cochrane's Tanner Milan started off another routine run but his steer didn't fall right. After some groundwork he got a time of 10.1, which was crucial in keeping his third place standing in the aggregate. Milan did drop one spot in the world but remains in the hunt for the gold buckle.
Big Valley's Zeke Thurston checked in at 78 points making a nice spur ride on Wainwright, Alta., contractor Outlaw Buckers', Sudden Impact. Though the ride didn't hit pay dirt in Round 8, it did move Thurston up one more spot in the aggregate, to fifth. That spot, if he stays in it come Saturday, pays an additional $22,846. Utah's CoBurn Bradshaw remains in the lead over Thurston for the Rookie of the Year title by $56,483.
Including Orin Larsen's fourth place cheque on Thursday, Canadian contestants have won $130,626 at the NFR. No cheques were won on bucking stock from north of the 49th in Round 8 leaving the total at $128,876 with two days left.

Field Trip Flirting
When we visited the National History Museum this week, there was a local school group that had arrived just before us. The kids were running about the grounds and I could feel the excitement in the air that only a "Field Trip Day" could bring. The two girls in pink coats caught my eye and as I watched them, two boys came up to chat. Young love was in the air!

This picture was taken a few months ago during the afternoon of the Scottish Summer. As the weather where I live is now worsening from just 'dreich' to better-call-Noah, I'm spending more time reading web articles and polishing my car than actually driving it.
I've rediscovered a couple of sets of my bookmarks which you may find interesting (assuming you aren't too busy carving the canyons of California to be bothered).
The first is about anything Porsche-related which I thought interesting before I actually bought one.
The second set of links consists of everything 996-centric which I've stumbled upon since becoming a devotee.
Call me obsessive, but I do like to keep informed. These collections include the views of people who drive in cycling gloves, beardy celebs from when colour tv was cool, manically overcaffeinated young men and IMS doom-and-gloomers (each selling their own recipes for eternal engine life).
Whatever crazy, out-of date or breathily fanboyish opinions are expressed, they don't come with my endorsement. These authors/presenters all however seem to have something in common. They are really enjoying driving the 996.

Park Farm, South Stoneham, Southampton
An imposing, landmark building of 50 retirement apartments set in the grounds of the historic Park Farm.
As part of the wider North Stoneham Park project, Highwood is developing part of the South Stoneham Park area to include an imposing, three-storey block of 50 assisted living retirement apartments in Park Farm.
Set within the grounds of North Stoneham Park's vast site, this historic site has a history that can be traced back to the Saxon era. More recently, it was used by the landowning Fleming family's workers who lived in the grounds and grew their produce for the original North Stoneham House in the walled garden.
Safe, secure, comfortable and incredibly luxurious living.
The fabulous mansion-styled building will incorporate a wealth of sumptuous communal areas and sits within green open spaces and next to the walled garden, where walkways link this beautiful ancient landscape to the new homes.
With an array of excellent dining facilities, a hairdressing salon, beauty salon, reading rooms and library, movie rooms and impressive lounges, these stunning retirement apartments offer safe, secure, comfortable and incredibly luxurious living for those in their later years.
Planning for our Park Farm development is due to be submitted in 2018 and we hope construction will commence in 2019.

El Salvador- Cooking and Food Edit
Overview of Salvadoran Cuisine History Edit
El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America and it is known for its volcanoes, black sand beaches, pre-Columbian ruins, and tropical forests. El Salvador's main agricultural products include corn, sugar cane, rice, tomatoes, cattle, and coffee. "Comida tipica" -- traditional dishes influenced by the Mayan and Aztec cultures -- include pupusas, curtido (slightly fermented cabbage slaw usually served with pupusas), tamales (stuffed corn meal wrapped in banana leaves), tamales pisque, tamales de gambrai, yuca con chicharrón (yucca with pork), atol de elote (very young white corn soup), atol de maicena (maize soup), atol de semilla de marañón (cashew soup), atol shuco (black maize soup), atol de piña (pineapple soup), albondigas (Salvadorean meat balls), enchiladas Salvadoreñas (like mini tostadas), horchata (made from morro (Calabash tree) seed, ground cocoa, cinnamon, and sesame seeds), frijoles Santanecos, panes con chumpe (bread roll with turkey), semita (sweet bread with pineapple filling), empanadas de plátano, de leche poleada, y de frijoles (plantain turnovers, plain or filled with milk pudding or refried beans). The most important meal of the day is lunch (almuerzo), which includes soup and a main course of meat, chicken, or seafood with rice and beans.
Cuisines of El Salvador Edit
El Salvador has many roadside stands that sell fresh local fruit, vegetables, as well as regionally-made cheeses. In every village, town, and city, there are open air markets that sell locally grown herbs, vegetables, fruits, cooked foods and refrescos. In the larger cities, such as San Salvador, Santa Ana, La Libertad, and San Miguel, there are many restaurants offering international fare, as well as traditional Salvadoran foods.
With the influence of "fast food" culture, the knowledge of how to make many traditional foods and drinks (refrescos) is disappearing. El Arbol de Dios, in San Salvador, is dedicated to the preservation of traditional art and food of El Salvador. There you can find comida tipica that is becoming less common, such as tamales pisque, tamales de gambrai, and atol shuco.
Salvadorian Food Traditions and Festivals Edit
THe People in El Salvador enjoy celebrating their culture through various festivals and ceremonies and also, they are very fond of their religion. On 948th people consider that the rainy season is about to start, so they have a festival that includes both Catholic belief and indigenous fertility rituals, as they decorate their homes with fruits and flowers and pray for a wealthy season. In August, people in El Salvador celebrate El Salvador del Mundo (the Savior of the World) – a carnival takes place and people enjoy large family feasts. The Christmas menu includes the traditional tamales (a sort of corn dumpling wrapped in banana leaves), chicken or an American menu with turkey and ham.
Preparation Methods for Salvadorian Cooking Edit
El Salvadoran cuisine arises from Mayan and Aztec cooking traditions, but is influenced by European culture. The wide variety of vegetables, tropical fruit, fresh seafood and meat found in El Salvador has resulted in a diversity of delicious dishes unique to their cuisine. The freshness of the ingredients is extremely important. Salvadorans buy meats, fruits, and vegetables every morning for the meals of the day. Each traditional dish has a special cooking method, which is similar in all of El Salvador's regions. Patience and attention to detail is important when cooking comida tipica. The visual attractiveness of the dish is important, but flavor is more important than superficial visual appeal.
Special Equipment for Salvadorian Cooking Edit
Most of the spices necessary, including banana leaves, can be found at markets specializing in Hispanic foods.

The rapper has tried to make his label a 'standalone brand', not a 'hip-hop cliche'
Tinie Tempah is set to launch his own clothing line.
The rapper however has said he wants to steer clear of "hip-hop cliche". Speaking to Q magazine, the Mercury Music Prize nominated artist said:
I really want to stay away from that whole hip-hop cliché – 'He's a rapper turned fashion designer, turned actor turned property developer.'
He added: "I want people to walk into a shop and not immediately think, 'Tinie Tempah', but think, 'That's a nice shirt' or 'That's a nice tee.'… Basically I've tried to make it into a standalone brand, like Folk, Joe Casely-Hayford or House Of Billiam. There's a lot of creative designers in the UK — we should support more."
Tinie Tempah also spoke about how he is going to the gym and boxing so he can take his shirt off while he is performing onstage. "There were occasions during the festivals last year when I wanted to take off my shirt, but the time wasn't right," he said. "I've been going to the gym and learning to box. By summer I want to be in tip-top shape."
Tinie Tempah has been added to the bill for BBC Radio One's Hackney Weekend alongside Florence And The Machine.
The 'Disc-Overy' rapper will join the likes of Leona Lewis and Plan B for the free bash, which will take place this summer from June 23 – 24 at London Hackney Marshes in the run-up to the Olympics.
Tickets for the event, which will have more than double the capacity of the radio station's Big Weekends, will be obtained through a lottery. For more information visit BBC.co.uk/radio1/events/hackneyweekend2012.

Albarubens S.r.l. is a test laboratory, located near Milan in Italy, that specialises in Solar Energy systems. The company name means 'red sunrise' in ancient Latin. Albarubens performs testing and certification of PV panels for power plant projects, which are used to help decision making by the project managers. The laboratory is accredited under IEC17025 for all the performance and endurance tests on photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, as described in the standard IEC EN 61215 (crystalline silicon), IEC EN 61646 (thin film) and IEC EN 61730-2 (safety aspects). By the end of 2009, it will also be operating to IEC 62108 (concentrators) and EN12975 (thermal solar panels).
The main performance test carried out by Albarubens is the measurement of the maximum electrical power generated by a PV panel per square metre. This value depends on the module technology, which is the main factor to be considered in the choice of PV systems.
Research and development in this field results in constantly improving performance. The difference in performance of panels from various manufacturers is quite small, so an objective power measurement has to be made with very high precision and low uncertainty to certify the performance. The quality of the measurement depends on the accuracy of the measurement of electrical power output and the solar irradiance available to the panels.
Of course, the electrical power generated by PV depends on a number of factors; the total incoming radiation, its spectrum, the angle of incidence, the module temperature and other parameters. Usually power is measured under Standard Test Conditions of 1000 W/m2 solar radiation at an ambient temperature of 25°C and with Air Mass 1.5. The Air Mass (AM) is the amount of atmosphere that light directly from the sun passes through to reach the ground and this depends largely on the solar elevation. The spectrum of the light is affected by the Air Mass. The Standard Test Conditions are equivalent to a clear sunny day at sea level in mid latitudes with the sun at 45° zenith angle.
Most manufacturers of PV modules carry out performance tests using a 'solar simulator' based on a Xenon flash lamp and an electronic load with power meter. The main advantage of testing in artificial conditions is the possibility to work at any time and independently of the weather conditions. Also, the solar simulator can be easily integrated into production line testing.
On the other hand, this also shows problems. The data requires a spectral mismatch correction, the lamp output is not homogeneous on the PV surface, and flash duration is very short (2-10 ms). This very short pulse requires a PV reference cell as the irradiance meter, but these have an uncertain spectral response. All together these problems results in a high uncertainty of the measurement; up to 6% for commercial grade equipment and 2% for very expensive laboratory types.
Since the beginning, Albarubens has chosen to measure the PV power under natural sunlight, which restricts the number of measurement days in a month. However, this is a negligible problem because all the other tests required by the standards take more than 2 months. Moreover, in Italy, there are many sunny days in a two month period even in winter. Under natural sunlight there are no problems with spectral simulation, source stability, duration or homogeneity. Importantly, they can use a high precision pyranometer to measure the solar irradiance.
Usually Albarubens performs measurements using a Kipp & Zonen CMP 11 pyranometer as the absolute irradiance meter, plus a reference PV module for comparison. The pyranometer calibration is traceable to the World Radiation Centre (WRC) in Davos, Switzerland and the reference modules to inter-laboratory comparisons. The parallel use of two reference sources minimises the total uncertainty. Every test is repeated ten times to calculate the mean value and repeated again in the rare case that the standard deviation is higher then 0.2%. Albarubens regularly obtains a global radiation uncertainty of better than 1.8% (k=2 - 95%).
Albarubens is confident that the best way to quantify PV module performance, for certification purposes, is in their real working condition - natural sunlight!

Cockles of the heart was first used in the mid seventeenth century. Though it's actual origin is unclear, it could come from the confusion and corruption of Latin words for cockle and a heart chamber. You can find detailed explanations on line if you're interested. The phrase is more metaphorical than physical. To warm the cockles of your heart means to make you feel good at the very core of your being.
It seems a good time, this time between summer and the holidays, to consider those things that warm our cockles. A few things that heated up my cockles in recent weeks are:
So what warms the cockles of your heart?
What moments do you remember from times long gone?
What about last week? Anything get your cockles moving?
What about yesterday?
What about today?
Warm cockle moments enrich our days. If we can't remember any such moments, I suggest it's because we haven't been paying attention. Cockle warming can certainly happen when we're with others, but it can also occur when we are alone.
While you were doing your yard chores, did you notice the fall nip in the air?
When you lit the candle, did you remember the friend who gave it to you?
Do you savor the memories when you hear a familiar song?
When you restore order to your house, are you grateful for a home you can share?
Your morning tea — do you feel its warmth working its way through your body?
When did you take a deep breath and say, "Aaaah, yes . . . ."?
Every day — every single day — find or do something that warms the cockles of your heart, that brings happiness to your core, and creates a moment of deeply-felt contentment. Some moments will set your cockles dancing — perhaps nearly setting them afire. It's these very experiences that enlarge our hearts, that cause them to spill over to warm the cockles of another.
Until next Tuesday . . .

beauty ADDICTS has the motto "beauty made simple". Now they have created Lash Galore ($18) mascara which is formulated with Pro Vitamin B5 and Silk Protein for great conditioning, length and definition. It is also buildable meaning that you can add more coats for more volume – without clumping or flaking.
Lash Galore is available in one shade and one shade only – Ultra Black. beauty ADDICTS claims that this is the "one shade every woman can wear." I suppose. If you are looking for another color though because you have fair lashes and don't want to go so dark then this isn't a mascara for you. I tried this mascara for two weeks and found that yes, you can easily add more volume and "build" your lashes even hours after applying your first coat. It's a rich, deep black that coats well and adds length with ease. However, I did notice that by mid-day my eyes had dark circles underneath them from smudging. It didn't happen every time I used Lash Galore, but it did happen more often than I wanted. I don't know why this happened only part of the time, maybe I added too much without letting it dry properly. I don't know. I kept trying and some days had great results with dark, long, thick lashes.
Lash Galore is available on the beauty ADDICTS website. beauty ADDICTS has many other products including make-up brushes, accessories and all types of products and make-up for everyone.
