No coins started yet
What a wonderful surprise to receive my beautiful butterfly coin this morning. My neighbor seems to think I do nice things for her, but, let me tell you our friendship works both ways and we always do for each other. I thank God everyday for our friendship. God surely knew what He was doing when He put us next door to each other. We have so many things in common Here's a few. We were both born in the same year. We both had husbands with the same name. We both lost our husbands at an early age, mine at 52 and hers at 53. Our mothers have the same birthdays. We both have one brother and 1 sister. And our EX-husbands both owned body shop's. If I would have found these coins 1st I would have given one to her. I cannot wait to put this butterfly in flight and to follow her flight. So, neighbor, I want to thank YOU for all you do for me including giving me this coin.

8 Reviews (4.7 out of 5 Grommets)
The product was a gift for my son for Father's Day. I asked him how he liked it and his reply was, " I don't like it, I LOVE IT!"
My sister will love it when I give it to her in March for her Birthday! Hurray for Grommet!!!
This is a pretty neat gift for your avid beer drinker that doesn't drink them faster than they get them.
My husband has been using these for a while, and loves them. So I decided to gift my sons and sons-in-law wirh them for Christmas. They were a hit!
My only suggestion would be to offer them in a shorter length to fit the bottles that craft beers generally come in. It would definitely increase their usability/ market.More > < Less
This was a gift he said it really kept his beer cold and liked the gift. Would buy it again.
About Corkcicle
Usefully Artful
Founder Ben Hewitt was confused why no one had trumped the ice bucket as a wine-cooling device. He started tooling around with a way to chill the bottle from the inside, then showed the first prototype to pal (and ultimate Co-founder) Stephen Bruner. Stephen encouraged him to keep iterating; they teamed up with third Co-founder Eric Miller, and Corkcicle came to life.
Their initial ideas were so well received that Corkcicle has continued to grow. Each year, they create more ways for drink enthusiasts to keep their favorite beverages cold. Or serve them with style. Or open them with barely any effort. Whatever your drink of choice, Corkcicle has a unique way to enjoy it even more.

And now, from the culture of tech innovation to the way new tech is received in the culture. Google is trying to sell the world on its wearable computer, Google Glass. Like a pair of glasses, it sits on the nose with a tiny computer built into the lens. It is still in the beta stages. The company has given out a limited number so far. And outside of high-tech, the eyewear is raising eyebrows. Lawmakers in several states want to ban it on the roads.
Here's Aarti Shahani from member station KQED.
AARTI SHAHANI, BYLINE: Before we turn to the laws, let's hit the road.
SHAHANI: Shane Walker hops into his Prius hybrid and puts on his Google Glass.
SHANE WALKER: I'm just going to have us go home really quickly. So I'm going to go check on my dog.
SHAHANI: Walker is an independent developer who got Glass last year to play with it and build apps. He turns on the GPS and it doesn't start talking to him like maps on a Smartphone might. Instead, it shows him his route as a thin blue line and a triangle on the upper right-hand corner of the lens.
WALKER: Google did a good job of making it non-intrusive, so it's not directly in your line of sight.
SHAHANI: Walker's favorite feature is the camera. Say, you're on a road trip. You can record the entire thing in totally decent resolution and then...
WALKER: You could go and, you know, one click you could share it out to your friends.
SHAHANI: At a stop sign, Walker strokes his frame with his right index finger. He's flipping through stored photos. The movement is so discreet - no bending his neck down like you would with a Smartphone - I have to ask him...
OK, is it something you would do if there was a police officer right in front of you?
WALKER: I mean, it's debatable. So it is hands-free, so I do feel like in my legal right that I'm - it's OK for me to interact with stuff that doesn't require my hands like winking, taking pictures.
STATE SENATOR IRA SILVERSTEIN: Yeah, its hands-free but it can affect your vision.
SHAHANI: Illinois State Senator Ira Silverstein is a Democrat from Chicago, and he's written a bill that says using Glass equals distracted driving.
SILVERSTEIN: The first offense would be a misdemeanor. The second offense, if it causes death, could be a felony.
SHAHANI: Leading car insurance companies have not yet taken a position on Glass. But at least eight states have. Republican State Delegate Gary Howell of West Virginia says lawmakers need to act before Glass gets out of hand.
STATE DELEGATE GARY HOWELL: You could be wearing it, driving down a road, not looking at your driving but watching a video screen or reading text and watching cat videos.
SHAHANI: Glass is the ultimate multi-tasking machine. It streams incoming emails and scans the eyelid for blinking commands. But Delegate Howell says its high-tech creators aren't seeing a basic fact about the real world.
HOWELL: Have they driven on mountain roads in West Virginia where, you know, you've got one 15-mile-an-hour turn after another one, where you really need to be concentrating on what you're doing?
SHAHANI: Google is responding to this roadblock by sending lobbyists across the country to dispel concerns. Spokesman Chris Dale says Glass can help drivers.
CHRIS DALE: It's actually not distracting and it allows you rather than looking down at your phone, you're looking up and you're engaging with the world around you. And it was specifically designed to do that, to get you the technology you need just when you need it, but then to get out of your way.
SHAHANI: Back in Shane Walker's car, Glass does something that a Smartphone can't do. We turn a corner past a golden fire hydrant. And suddenly, obscure facts start streaming in front of Walker's iris.
WALKER: When San Francisco burst into flames in the days following the disastrous 1906 earthquake, much of the city's network of fire hydrants failed. Miraculously, this fire hydrant, nicknamed the Little Giant...
SHAHANI: And he goes on reading like this for about a half a minute.
WALKER: ...historic Mission District neighborhood.
SHAHANI: Are you reading all of that from the upper right hand corner of your eye?
WALKER: Exactly, yeah. It's pretty cool. It's like text just floating in air.
SHAHANI: Walker has a theory about why this text is not distracting him.
WALKER: The layer is transparent. So your eye does a good job of seeing through it while also staring at it.
EARL MILLER: That sounds like a lot of wishful thinking to me.
SHAHANI: Earl Miller is a professor or neuroscience at MIT who specializes in multi-tasking.
MILLER: You think you're monitoring the road at the same time, when actually what you're doing, you're relying on your brain's prediction that nothing was there before half a second ago, so nothing is going to be there now. But that's an illusion that can often lead to disastrous results.
SHAHANI: The brain fills in the gaps in what you see with memories of what you saw half a second ago. Among scientists, that statement is not controversial. The politics of Google Glass and where it's worn clearly is.

The easy way to write an essay is to collect facts and telling them in a linear manner. The author do not use any characters but the historic figures connected with the period the author is writing about. This style of writing an essay also gives it an appearence of bigger impartiality , in spite of the ideology behind the selection of figures that has been done. However, a continuous use of figures and data dyes with objectivity the subjectivity of the author.
George Packard takes the winding road and a more honest alternative to write "The unwinding". Without any doubt, the book is an essay on the USA history from the 70´s to 2012, but it is an essay from the personal perspective of a handful of americans. The author described in the book different stages of the life of this group of people, some of them famous like P. Thiel or E. Warren, some of them anonymous or completely fictious. The people are the thread to show us the unwinding of the american society and the milestones that has lead to it. The selection of stories does not provide any cloak of impartiality to the author. The majority of the group of people lose something with each year that pass.
The author never hides along the essay his idea that "the seventies was the decade when things started going wrong". Instead of giving us cold figures to support his idea, he uses real people to show us the scars that the unleashed globalisation and the continuous deregulation have left in american society. The downfall of the middle class, the dissappearance of industry, underpaid jobs, the foreclosures after the housing bubble, ... the human side behind the economic figures that we tend to forget.
The book is so real that sometimes you will feel the urge to stop reading. However the endurance of some of the characters, their continuous desire to find their place in life and the solidarity towards other human beings that some of them show, will give you the strength to reach the end. The hope is in their capability to face the unwinding together.

Whether you're someone that collects toys for yourself, or if you're still a kid at heart, it's important to know what goes into toy shopping. You can get fantastic toys and fabulous deals when you're aware of where to shop and what to look for. The article here is going to give you the best information. Read on to learn how to do it.
Always check any warning labels on a toy you are considering purchasing. A lot of toys feature pieces that are potential choking hazards, so be mindful of such warnings. Pay attention to the recommended age ranges on toy packages, as all toys should have one.
When consider what toys to purchase for a small child, safety is very important. Avoid toys that are stuffed with small pellets or beans because these can present a choking hazard if they spill out of the toy. You should also avoid toys with parts that have a diameter of less than 1.75 inches.
Encourage your child to play outside by purchasing toys and sporting equipment specifically meant to be enjoyed outdoors. This will help your child burn calories and use up plenty of energy. The best toys give you the opportunity to join in on playtime while teaching your child how to play.
If you are looking for toys, consider Craigslist, where you can find gently used ones. When you answer an ad, examine the toy closely for the wear and quality. Most of the time you can find toys that do not show much wear and tear, if at all. This is how to find super deals.
If you are looking for a unique gift, consider purchasing a personalized gift. A great toy for a special little girl is a doll that comes with its own set of personalized adoption papers. These papers will list the child's name as the parent along with the doll's full name.
Ask other parents about the best educational toys around. You've got a built in focus group all around you! Talk to the parents at the local preschool or in the play yard. They'll likely have a lot of great advice to give. You may even discover that some have additional toys sitting around that they may donate to you.
Know about the preferences of the child you are buying a toy for. Not all toys will be fun for the same child. Try to consider their personality and the activities they enjoy. Don't let commercials and reviews completely dictate what you buy. Base your decisions on what you feel the child will most enjoy.
Take your children along when shopping for their toys. Unless you already know what they want, guessing at which toys they will enjoy will be hit and miss. This will ensure they get something they are sure to enjoy. Additionally, it ensures you're not wasting your money on any toys that won't be used.
Remember to check the box or packaging to see what extra items you need to get for a particular toy. For instance, make sure that you know what kind of batteries are needed, or what kind of equipment is necessary. There is nothing worse than not being able to play with a toy when you receive it, so be sure that the toy can be used by buying everything needed.
Empty boxes can make great toys for kids. They can be arranged and used as fortresses, caves, house, etc. Give your child some markers or paint to decorate them and personalize them. Boxes are not only cheap but also safe since they are lightweight and soft. Just make sure there are no staples on it that can cause an injury.
If you aren't sure about choosing a toy, then consider a gift that is more of an arts and crafts activity. Boys may enjoy painting and putting together models. Girls may enjoy kits that allow them to make bracelets, knit simple items on a small loom and both may enjoys items to color or paint.
This new information should make shopping for toys easier. Use this information to find display cases or other ones for great plays. Apply what you have just read, and you can't go wrong.…

Badshah is back again with yet another series of fresh stories, Well I feel motivated when somebody visits Desilovestories.com and feel delighted with my content, "Dude, I reached here last night. I am fine. Everything here is so empty, so not like our Jammu. Anyways do me a favor, call up my place and tell mom that I am fine. Also call up Radhika, I had met Radhika once before, when my friend Vicky had introduced me to her in college. Vicky had flown to the states to do M.S. I had never spoken to Radhika after that first meeting, and was envious of Vicky, coz she was a bomb. She was really fair, shoulder length thick hair and a decent figure. She was slightly on the plumper side, if I recollected properly, but would be a great fuck, I had thought. Vicky must have really enjoyed this hot piece of ass. I myself had gained a lot of confidence with girls when it came to sex. Even helped a girl reach multiple orgasms, once. I was kind of proud of this accomplishment of mine and knew that I can satisfy any girl I want. Anyways I had no such intentions about Radhika, as she was a friends fuck. So I called her up and told her the message. As soon as she picked up the phone, she was very arrogant until I introduced myself again to her. She said "ok thx for the message, Bye". Whew! What a bitch I told to myself. Don't know how such a nice guy like Vicky ended up with such an arrogant female. A few days after the incident I got a mail from Radhika. She walked for my apology and said that she was really sad with Vicky leaving and all, and hence wasn't in her proper senses when she spoke with me. She said she would like to speak to me again and if it is possible, cud I call her again next Sunday. I told myself "why not" and called her up that Sunday evening. She picked up the phone and immediately recognized my voice. She appreciated me calling her up and began talking about Vicky. Most of the conversations that we used to have included Vicky most of the times. We went on like this for about a month, and I had started impressing her with my smooth talk and smart jokes. She had agreed to meet me also, but in a public place. We met at her college. She was wearing this body-fit sleeveless top and baggy jeans. A lethal combination I would say. We sat in the canteen and were talking about the good' old memories of Vicky. One day I called her up and told her that Vicky has seemed me, and he wants to talk to you immediately. He said it was urgent, so call him up now. The next day I called her up again and found that no-one was picking up her phone. I called her friend and asked what the matter. She said that her friends are not in town and she has been crying all day. I said, gimme her address, I think something is wrong. I rang the bell and she dint open the door for 4 rings. Finally she opened the door. She was in a complete mess, hair all messed up, tear marks all over her face and really pathetic clothes. But with all this horridness also she looked a babe, with the boobs protruding out and the pajamas getting a veggie. I stared at the swaying of her ass as we moved into the living room. She got some water for me and sat opposite to me.
She started talking about Vicky and told me that they broke up as he has found a babe in states and is screwing her. He said it's his room-mate and she is an Indian too. They live together and make love all this while. I told her I am sorry and went and sat next to her. With my hands on her thighs I told her to relax and this bad time will pass away. She kept her head on my shoulders and began crying. I started rubbing her thighs and squeezing it gently. With the other hand I was rubbing the back of her head, helping her relax. We were in this position for about 15 minutes, after which she felt better. I told her, do u want me to make tea or something for you. She said, oh no, I will make it for u. I said, thx, I really wanted it, and I don't know to how make it. But since you dint ask me, this is the way I made you ask me. She started laughing and went into the kitchen. I followed her in the kitchen. She seemed in a much better mood now, coz she kept laughing at every joke I cracked. I sat on the table and spoke with her. We were freely touching each other and occasionally her hands were touching my stomach as well. I was getting horny by each of her touches, but dint want her to think that I wanted to make use of the opportunity. I stood next to her and kept playing with her hair. She was oblivious with my intentions and that that i was just making her feel good. I asked her "u have really nice hair, what do u do to keep it so good" ... "She said i shampoo it twice a week that it, nothing more" I said "Ok, and what about the hair on your head, how do u maintain that "she looked at me, stunned and then burst into laughter. She said "you guys r really naughty" I put my finger on her lips and said "Radhika, seriously what do u do to maintain itself, you are so pretty. I look into your eyes and my heart skips a beat. I touch your cheeks, your lips they make me want to kiss you. I don't know what that Chut, Vicky saw in that girl to have given up on this pretty girl" While saying all this i was moving closer to her and was really close to her face.
I dint anything after that and wanted her to take the initiative of kissing me. She sadiron Badshah, don't say such things. I am not that great " I stopped her and said "use my eyes to look at itself and u will see the angel i see. I always wondered what beauty is, my questions were answered when i saw you. I can't .... " I was stopped with a smooch on my lips.
Radhika was kissing me. My head kept saying, "Badshah stop, this is wrong" But my body was saying "She is an apsara, fuck Vicky man, feel her" I started playing with her hair and her tongue too. She reciprocated well as our tongues battled. She shut off the gas and took me to her bedroom. "Badshah Sit down, i will just come", she vanished into the other room. I couldn't believe my luck. I immediately checked my wallet, and was pleased that i was carrying my condom( i always do, u never know when u will need it ). She came in wearing the most orgasmic dress i had ever seen on a girl. She was wearing a black sleeveless dress, which was hugging every part of her body. All of her legs except the upper two inches we exposed. She looked deep in my eyes and said "Badshah, nobody has ever been so nice to me as u have been, and now i want thank you for that" She immediately sat on my laps, with one leg on each side and started kissing me. She started with my cheeks, my neck and then my lips. I was rubbing her back as she moved her fingers in my hair. She was making these noises as her bust was crushing my chest. Before i knew it i was lying on her bed and she had already taken off my shirt. She was kissing every part of my body, as i cud see her ass sway. I wanted to grab it and do things with it, but what she was doing was also ecstatic. I pulled her top up and told her to remove it. She wasn't wearing a bra, which was very apparent from the way her boobs were protruding out. She looked deep in my eyes and said "Badshah, fuck me and make me comm. I have a lot about your fucking skills and now i want to check it out myself" Saying this she tore open my jeans and pulled it down. My soldier was all ready to start camp. She looked at it and said " Woah, that is nice, really nice" I liked all the dirty talk she was doing, but i never said a thing. I have a tendency to let my actions do the talking. I placed my hands on her but and slowly caressed it. She said "Badshah... Oh yah, take me. Take me now" I lifted her up and started kissing her. My hands went all over her back and her panties were off in a flash. Wow, she was shaved. She looked at me staring at her cunt and said" you like what u see baby..." i nodded my head in affirmation, and went on my knees. I used my tongue to prepare her for the great fuck, while she played with my dick. Her scent was driving me wild and my swift tongue movements was making her more horny.
The more horny she got, the more sexy the smell got, the more lusty strokes i made with my tongue. It's like a positive feedback, which i and Vicky used to discuss when we were in college. But now i had this goddess all for me and she wasn't too hard to get as well. I took her hand off my penis and told her to lie down babe. I asked her to spread her legs wider for me and scream "Badshah i want you ... "she did as i told her and i was getting bigger and bigger. I dint imagine myself being so big. I ripped open the condom packet and gave one to her. She couldn't put it on, so i had to wear it myself. I placed my dick at the doors of her love hole and gave a light push. She was all wet, but yet so tight. Hers was the sexiest pussy i had ever seen. It was tight as well as smooth. I don't know whether it was my movements or what but with every slight push i made, she was getting tighter and tighter. God she was so tight that it hurt me, for the first time in all my experiences. I made around 50 strokes before i collapsed over her. I looked up and she had already closed her eyes in exhaustion. I lightly slapped her as she opened her eyes. She looked at me with those eyes. As i thought Govinda's song "akhiyon se goli maare" is so right for this girl. We caressed each other and went off to sleep. When i opened my eyes Radhika stood there all naked. She smiled at me and said "Honey, here is the tea you wanted. I hope you still want it, or do you want me to serve u with something else." I noticed the twinkle in her eyes and said to myself, this is going to be a great daygirls.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Bulldog Invitational wrapped up on Sunday afternoon with the Yale women's tennis team eking out Ivy League rivals Brown. The two teams won an equal number of singles matches, but the Bulldogs pulled ahead in the overall total with more doubles wins.
Samantha Martinelli and Jessie Gong won their doubles match 6-3 out of the No. 1 spot; they were follwed by Caroline Dunleavy and Raissa Lou, who won 7-5. Lauren Gillinov and Kathy Wang also won by a score of 6-3, giving the Bulldogs three doubles wins to the Bears' four.
Singles were extremely close, with all of Yale's losses being a coin flip. Martinelli won the first set before dropping the last two by identical 6-4 scores against Brown's No. 1 player. Gillinov lost in two sets, but both by the score of 7-5. Amy Yang lost in a deciding set, ending her comeback attempt after dropping the first set. Dunleavy, Lou and Gong, however, all won in straight sets. Lou has been especially impressive this weekend, winning all three of her matches in straight sets without losing more than three games in any set.
Overall, this weekend was definitely a positive one for the Bulldogs. They were able to navigate three difficult matches relatively well, protecting their home turf in the process. While none of the fall matches count towards their national championship hopes, the matchplay presents an excellent opportunity for the team to find its identity.
The Bulldogs are back in action on October 11th at the ITA Northeast Regionals.

MITS student wins top award in international interpreting contest
Wang Yao, a second-year MITS student from the Monash-South East University Joint Graduate School in Suzhou, China, has won the top prize in the grand final of "The Seventh Cross-Strait Interpreting Contest", an international competition held at City University of Hong Kong, on 28 April 2018.
First proposed by Xiamen University in China in 2009, the "Cross-Strait Interpreting Contest" has since become a prestigious annual event in the Greater China region, attracting thousands of interpreting students from over a hundred higher education institutions in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau every year. In order to make it to the grand final, a contestant has to survive various preliminary rounds at their own university, before winning other similar contests at provincial and regional levels. In November 2017, Wang Yao, and Liu Jianhang, another first-year student from the Monash-SEU MITS program, have both been awarded first prize in the Eastern China Regional Contest.
Congratulations to the student, Wang Yao, to SEU colleagues, and to Monash MITS team of interpreter trainers: Dr Thomas Chase (coordinator in Suzhou), Dr Marc Orlando (Program Director), Dr Jim Hlavac, Dr Rick Qi, Ms Vera Gu and Ms Hailan Paulsen, from the School of Languages, Literatures, Cultures and Linguistics.
The Monash-SEU dual Master in Interpreting and Translation Studies was established in 2014 as part of the Monash-SEU Joint Graduate School. It offers the possibility for selected students to be trained as translators and interpreters by both T&I programs and to complete a dual master's degree. MITS students from this course have consistently demonstrated their competitive advantage in interpreting contests in China.

I need help Lord, I have constantly turned my back on you. I constantly think I can solve my own problems.
I need your strength to face my sins, face the damage I have done and to have you guide me on the right path.
Lord I have betrayed my wifes trust so many times. I have let her down and crushed her. God I ask that you help comfort her in dealing with my infidelity. I ask that you help me understand and find strength not to repeat these things I have done. Lord I ask for your forgiveness even when I am unworthey. Please help my wife and I find the path to redemption. I have lead us so far from you by selfishly beliving in myself, by my attention whorinig addictions and fueling my negative thoughts. Lord my wife has tried to show me the way and I have turned a deaf ear to her. Please forgive me. Please Lord help her get thru the pain I have caused her.
In your name I pray
Return to Prayers for Strength and Guidance

Animal behavior: Let it bee!
Nature Communications
April 4, 2018
Bumble bees that prefer the central area of the hive where food is stored are more likely to replace forager bees when hives are disrupted, finds a study this week in Nature Communications.
James Crall and colleagues developed an automated tracking system to individually follow approximately 1,700 bees from 19 semi-natural colonies over several weeks. This tracking showed that individual bees are very faithful to certain areas of the hive and have very specialized tasks such as caring for young or tending food supplies. The authors then experimentally disturbed the hive by removing forager bees and subsequently identified which types of bees became the new foragers. The probability of switching to foraging was highest in bees most centrally located and with the most interaction with the food storage area, suggesting that these individuals were most aware of the resource needs of the hive.
By revealing the intricate individual and collective behaviours of bumble bee hives, the study highlights the superorganism's resilience to change. The authors conclude that such flexibility could be crucial for bumble bees, which have small colonies (approximately 50-200 workers) and often live in harsh and dynamic climates.

Emily Rose Mawson saddles up for a new view of coastal Northumberland
The wind contours around us in salty swooshes as we charge along the golden sheen of sand. I grip Biscuit's mane, my heart pounding and my eyes half-closed against the sea spray as I peer between his pricked ears. We're gaining on the mighty flaxen turrets of Bamburgh Castle on the Northumberland Coast, which through the light sea mist, looks like it's made of sand.
I haven't ridden horseback for years, but I feel like an excited 10-year-old at summer pony camp. Luckily, Biscuit is a sturdy Clydesdale Cross whose enthusiasm outweighs his speed, and I feel sure of my seat.
We're on St. Aidan's beach outside Seahouses in the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty: it's wide, sandy and deserted. The region has miles of coastline scattered with ruined castles. Thanks to its open-access policy — a rarity in Britain — exploring on horseback is easy, and is one of the best ways to engage with the scenery.
As Biscuit slows to a walk, friendly oystercatchers fearlessly approach. My instructor Sallyanne comments that wildlife often come closer when you are on horseback, as they recognise a fellow animal. The area isn't short of potential sightings: across the water are the Farne Islands – a rocky archipelago home to seals, as well as seabirds including puffins, kittiwakes, razorbills, eider ducks and guillemots.
We steer our steeds away from the wind-strewn dunes flanking the beach and head towards the water's edge. The striking outline of the castle atop the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, another wildlife haven, comes into view across the waves. Biscuit eagerly plunges his legs into the surf and gives a delighted whinny. The day is mild, and well suited to riding. If it was warmer, Sallyanne says, the horses might be tempted to roll.
An experienced riding instructor, Sallyanne grew up at Slate Hall Riding Centre on the clifftop near Seahouses. The stables offer a range of coastal rides suited to all abilities and ages. She peppers our two-hour beach ride with tips to help improve my rusty technique, balance and confidence. Most important, as we prepare for our next canter, is to relax, or Biscuit will sense my nerves.
I'm feeling coolly confident. With visions of Poldark careering along the Cornish coastline, I push Biscuit forward into trot then canter, leaning forward for balance. He sets off at a charge and, with the pounding of his hooves on the wet sand and my mind a blur of exhilarated 'yikes', my reflex reaction is to laugh aloud. This is sightseeing at its best.

Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart, Campus Weißenhof
Neubau 1, Hörsaal 301
This lecture will focus on Arata Isozaki's Electric Labyrinth at the 14th Milan Triennale of 1968, paying attention to its strategies of occupying and engaging the institutional logics of the gallery—in this case a triennale—as a site for exhibiting architecture. Taking the form of an exhibition object cast as environmental apparatus, Electric Labyrinth was a work of architecture that exhibited itself as architecture and in which the gallery and its conditions of viewing were incorporated within its medium. I will explicate the manner in which Electric Labyrinth refused any simple opposition between an exhibition (in a gallery) and architecture (out there), between images or models of an architectural work and the "actual" "bricks and mortar" version. I will conclude with a dramatic contrast: Isozaki's participation in "Houses for Sale" of 1980 at Leo Castelli gallery and the rising phenomenon of "paper architecture" during this postmodern moment. Tracing the bemusement expressed by critics of both art and architecture at the set up of this Castelli show, I will read the peculiar disciplinary topologies which emerge when architecture finds itself "out of place."

Poster: Design by Valentin Alisch
What is the role of architecture now and in the future of a globally networked world? What is its public, political, and aesthetic potentialities? Its conceptual methods and critical media? To focus these questions, we look at current curatorial practices, their processes, and strategies. The objective is not only to discuss architecture as an (critical) exhibition object or relational space. We also want to address architecture's ability to project other selves without cancelling former ones.

Taking Your Flock Outdoors
-by Gaye Thomasson
It's summertime, and time to get some Vitamin D for your birds! No, I don't mean a pill, I mean good old sunshine! My Amazons and macaws go outside after breakfast to their flights any day the temperature is over 50 degrees, there's a clear weather forecast, and it's not too windy. They hang out, climb, chew up toys, occasionally bicker with each other, and squawk their lungs out at full volume. They're curious about the world around them; our two dogs as they play chase, the airplanes above, the juvenile hawks on training missions with their parents, the little finches at the bird feeders, and the zinging sounds of our dive bombing hummingbirds. It's hours of healthy entertainment. They come inside in the afternoon, head to their food bowls, and they are totally quiet. Exhausted? I'd like to think they've really burned up some parrot energy. (They're resting right now as I write.)
If you, too, take your parrots outside, there are a few things to keep in mind to make every occasion a safe and enjoyable experience for your birds.
Go on toy patrol. Check the toys in your aviary or flight. Are they frayed, destroyed, hanging by a thread, covered with bird droppings? Remove anything that isn't safe. Repair it or replace it. Take a close look at the Quick Links. Make sure they're safely closed. Look also for rust on items in the flight – if the area is susceptible to the elements, there's a good chance that wood and toys have been saturated with snow and rain over the months. Something rusty? Get it out!
Is the flight safe from potential predators? Check your latches and make sure everything shuts and locks the way it should. Are there any places where "security has been breached?" Be a detective and carefully examine the interior and exterior. One broken wire or a small hole could a) provide an escape route for your bird or b) give an unwanted visitor entrance, or even c) cause a potential injury.
Is the flight clean? Make sure that your birds have fresh water when they stay outdoors, especially on these hot days. Water dishes easily get emptied or "muddied." Take some paper towels and a jug of water outside every day, wipe out their dishes, and give your birds fresh water. Take a look for droppings, molted feathers, and destroyed toy parts on the floor of the flight. If it's messy, then sweep, shovel or however you do it, rake the excess out. If you have birds that spend time on the ground, ensure that grasses are kept very low, and that they don't have to traipse through their own messes to play. Pull weeds. Hose the area down, including any droppings on perches, branches, swings.
Don't leave food in the flights. Make sure your birds have had a good breakfast before taking them outside. And if you feel your bird(s) may get hungry, consider doing two things: 1) take them a treat (a nut in the shell, a Nutriberry or?) sometime during their outdoor time, or 2) hide something in the flight for foraging that you are sure will be consumed. Whatever your strategy, remove any uneaten treats as a number of things might occur including spoiled food or once again, unwanted wild visitors, bugs included.
Does your bird like a bath? Oh, hot days here mean that all my birds get a shower while they are outside! It's as easy as putting a spray nozzle on the hose, setting the sprayer on "mist" and letting the water spray fall gently onto them. Imagine your birds in the rainforest – the rain drips from the leaves and mists down onto them! And, never spray your bird into its face. But…if you see those wings go up, the tail feathers spread out, and your bird starts swaying like she hears gospel music, then by all means, provide a spritz under the wings, on the back, wherever your bird prefers. If you know your bird enjoys a bath over a shower, place a very shallow (safe) bowl or tray of water on the floor of the flight.
Protect your birds from the extreme heat. Make sure that there is shade within the flight at all times of the day so that your bird has a cool space to go to when the temperature is intense. That may mean a tarp, reflective insulation atop the flight, a towel. Whatever it is, never place your bird outside where she can't get away from the direct sun's rays. Your bird could easily become overheated.
Bugs bugs and bugs – Yes, it is mosquito season, and putting the birds outside may come to a screeching halt. A few bugs here and there are no threat, in fact, I watch my macaws snap at wayward flies. But, mosquitoes can infect our parrots with West Nile. Two things: if there is an infestation where you live, just keep your birds indoors until the frost kills them. Their summer is over. Better safe than sorry. If you choose to spray your yard for bugs/mosquitoes, you must keep your birds indoors, also. And last, empty the water dishes daily. Mosquitoes breed in standing water. Small wild birds may make their way into the flights to get a quick drink. You have no control over that while your birds are outside and the spaces on the flight give wild birds access. But, once everyone is inside for the night, again, empty those bowls. No water, no visitors. (Give your wild birds access to fresh water in birdbaths in another area.)
Last, never leave your birds outdoors unsupervised. By this I mean, don't leave your home or property with your birds outside. Accidents happen, and you need to check your birds on a regular basis to make sure everything is copacetic. Weather can change quickly, too. Don't get caught away for your home, birds outside, alone, with a lightning storm over their heads. Those become extremely stressful situations for your birds. No escape, lots of fear.
Whew! That's all! It is a lot to consider, but extremely doable, manageable and so very good for your birds. Get your flock outside soon. They will love you for it, and their health will reflect that big yellow Vitamin D pill in the sky.

Posters of Priyanka and Dimple emerge amid talks of SP-Cong alliance
Jan 14, 2017 16:05 IST
about the video
As the Congress and Samajwadi Party inch closer to an alliance, local leaders have already launched a poster campaign extending support to the likely tie-up they feel will prove to be formidable in checking 'communal forces' in Uttar Pradesh. Laced with slogans hailing women power, the posters read: "Mahilaon ka bajega danka."A poster bearing Priyanka and Dimple's images, who could be the most sought after star campaigners this election, urges the two to take the state on the path of development. "Jhuthe vaadon se dilaao nijat- Uttar Pradesh ka karo vikaas," reads a banner.

I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn't receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it." Then he took the children in his arms and placed his hands on their heads and blessed them.
Insight - Jesus loved talking about heaven, faith and children. The reason? all three are really linked together, faith is the one needed requirement to enter heaven and Jesus wanted to leave no doubt as to what kind of faith was needed! So, he took all the children in his arms and declared to all mankind, this childlike faith is what you need. Pure, honest, humble faith!
Prayer - Jesus, there are days I struggle with feeling like I even have enough faith to get through the day, but I am reminded that all you want from me is the faith of a child. So I bring you my simple, but deep confession of faith today that declares, like a child that you are my heavenly father and that is enough for me. I look to you today to do what only you can do! Amen.

My Maternity Wardrobe
Purchasing maternity clothes has been my least favorite activity during this pregnancy. Luckily, there are a handful of non-maternity pieces that I can still wear without looking utterly ridiculous. Even then, I needed to buy a few items to carry me through this pregnancy as my belly continues to grow. I've made plenty of online orders, only to return a majority of the items. The few pieces I kept have proven to be my go-to's, meaning, they are on heavy repeat and worn pretty much weekly. In this blog post, I've pulled together what those pieces are in case it is helpful to you (like this tank dress from the Gap which you can shop directly below).
And that's it for my maternity picks! Is there anything you have purchased that you couldn't live without during your pregnancy? Do share!

And I wonder how long to their "Housing Meltdown" cover?
America's House Party
Record home prices are inflaming passions--and pocketbooks--as never before. Inside our raucous obsession with real estate
July 31, 2006
Doesn't this Time Magazine housing bubble cover seem like a million years ago?
Posted by blogger at 7/31/2006
9 comments:
that Time article, as has been pointed out about 500 times before on this blog, was not bullish on real estate. The cover image made the point that the country as a whole was falling in love with real estate, and sounded a note of caution for that reason. It reported the huge runup in prices, quoted both housing bulls and bears, and left the distinct impression that the editors were skeptical. Note the headlines on the cover -- "Is it time to buy -- or sell? and "The case for renting."
The idea that Time pumped RE at the peak is well on its way to achieving the status of an urban myth, thanks to Keith's persistant efforts.

yeah, the image of a guy hugging his cash-machine house, and then this leadin, no, that's not bullish or the sign of a peak:

Time Magazine may not have been advocating the housing bubble but they were certainly reporting its existence. That is why this magazine cover has come to represent the housing bubble, it is a testament to the irrational exuberance of the day, even if the editor himself wasn't buying the hype.

Today I walked with Adileen to school. Slowly. Her preschool is just about 14 blocks from our home, a distance I can walk briskly in 12 minutes or so, but a distance that at Adileen's pace usually takes between 25 and 30 minutes. Special thanks to Katie, who discovered that Adileen could walk the whole way to school holding her hand while I was on a trip recently. There's part of the walk where 5-foot sections of the wall are painted, each in a different color. I was filled with joy watching Adileen run to one, shout "Azul!", and move on to the next, shouting "amarillo", and "verde", and "rojo." So. Fun.

Jose Antonio Meets his Grandparents
One of the biggest challenges for our family living in Arequipa is being so far away from family. Despite the distance, however, we've experienced the tremendous blessing of Adileen getting to know her grandparents. Katie's mom, Ann, got here the day Adileen was born and stayed for a month! Katie's dad, Kin, came for a visit during that time as well. Then my parents came for a week when Adileen was a month old. Since, they've both been able to come for another visit and we've also gotten the chance to visit them in the US, as well as Adileen's cousins, aunts, and uncles. Throw in FaceTime and Adileen can recognize and (on a good day) name all of our family. All of this and Adileen doesn't turn two years-old until January!
August's First Birthday
It's hard to believe that August is a year old already! This year has been full of love and learning.First birthdays are a big production here – food, gifts, party favors, clowns, decorations, cake, and games. We had August's party at a big park near our house. Planning and preparation was a cultural adventure in itself! It took several days to get everything ready. Many friends and neighbors came together to help us make it all happen. It was truly a beautiful picture of community.
Final Words from Benji Nicholas
One year ago I had recently graduated from Harding University with a degree in Spanish and Missions. I was looking forward to an exciting new year spent with Team Arequipa. However, I didn't know exactly what I was getting myself into, and I mean that both in the sense of how I would be filling my days and with all the events that would happen over the next year. In the past year, I have come to love this city and culture, improved my Spanish skills, been in the midst of two missionary families transitioning back to the States, lived alone for the first time, eaten incredible arequipeño food, learned how to cook (kind of), avoided rabies, learned I was allergic to the rabies vaccine, climbed a volcano, seen a world wonder, read a few impactful books, learned how to share my faith, worked with house churches, come to a better understanding of what holistic ministry is, seen the various parts of what makes CUDA a great NGO and ministry, and experienced what life as a missionary could be like -- and I could keep listing things all day.
Peruvian Missions Summit
At the end of April we all flew up to Lima to meet up with other missionaries from Peru for a retreat. There were missionaries from Lima, Huancayo, and Cusco in addition to our three families from Arequipa. Gary and Francis Green, who work with Barnabas International, were also at the retreat to lead us in spiritual formation time. It was so neat and refreshing to get to be with the other missionaries that are all in different stages of their time in Peru but who all understand what each other are going through.
Reflections on my Apprenticeship
I am 7 months into my one-year apprenticeship with Team Arequipa, and time has definitely flown by. This time has been very formative and will continue to be, and I'm continually grateful for the opportunity to be here learning and working with the team. While there are some things I wish I had done differently, I did not know what to expect when deciding to spend a year in Arequipa, Peru. Much of the first half of my time here was spent getting used to the culture, living with 3 of the 4 families, and jumping around to experience and learn about the various aspects of ministry that each of the families is involved with. Here are some highlights from the past 7 months and what I have learned from them.
Neighborhood Chocolatada
ne thing we try to do here is find things already present in the culture that we can use as a way to make relationships, deepen relationships, and share about Jesus. Believe it or not, Christmas here is pretty focused on Jesus. Even people who the rest of the year may have nothing to do with him will have a nativity set up in their house or business. Jesus is everywhere this time of year, so we decided to take advantage of that.
New Life in Peru
Jake and I are so happy to say that our sweet daughter, August Adele, is now two months old and doing very well! The transition of having a new life in our home has been packed full of love and learning. When we found out we were expecting we were thrilled. The creation of new life is amazing and is a strong reminder of how God works beautifully within this world. As some of you may know, shortly after finding out I was pregnant, my sister's son, Jackson, passed away suddenly at the age of four. The past seven months have been a whirlwind of emotions. On one hand we are grieving the loss of a beautiful life and on the other we are celebrating a new one. Trying to reconcile those two extremes has not been easy, especially being so far away from my family. These two significant events in my life have caused me to ask deep questions about faith and how God works in this world.

Top 10 Movie Characters Who Stole the Showegnomac These are the characters from movies who truly stole the show in their respective movies.
The Top Ten
Its no competition Heath Ledgers performance as the maniacal Joker not only stole the show but cemented Ledger as one of the greatest, Heath Ledger truly became The Joker every scene he's is in is just magic his portrayal of The Joker may never be surpassed. - egnomac
While main characters Aladdin & Jasmine were good characters it was The Genie who stole the show considering he's voiced by none other than Robin Williams and the sequel Return of Jafar proved that no one but Robin Williams could pull off the character any better no offense to Dan Castellaneta but he was nowhere near to being what Williams was. - egnomac
Luke Skywalker may be the hero but Han Solo really steals the show throughout the original trilogy and Harrison Ford would go onto other bigger roles though I can't say the same for the rest of the actors of the original franchise. - egnomac
The movie may have sucked but the one character that truly shined was Harley Quinn. - egnomac
The one character that everyone remembers the most about Silence of the Lambs its Anthony Hopkins creepy performance as Hannibal Lecter he was such a great character he eventually got his own sequel. - egnomac
Joe Pesci was extraordinary in Goodfellas being the hot tempered gangster who flips out he even won the academy award for best supporting actor for the role. - egnomac
If there was one character who ever deserved their own spin off movie it would have to be Hit Girl she has to be the most bad ass movie kid in history throughout the movie shes brutally killing off bad guys in the most gruesome fashion and boy did she ever had a mouth on her. - egnomac
Smokey is what made Friday so hilarious every time he's on screen its comedy gold thanks to Chris Tuckers performance which was a real shame he never returned in the other sequels. - egnomac

The Obie Award-Winning Ma-Yi Theater Company presents the New York premiere of HOUSE RULES, a new play by A. Rey Pamatmat, which opened last night, Thursday, March 31st, at HERE (145 Sixth Avenue, NYC) and runs through Saturday, April 16, 2016. Jessica Hagedorn, Tonya Pinkins ("Gotham"), Cory Michael Smith ("Gotham"), Andre Holland ("The Knick") celebrated at the opening night party with the cast.
Ma-Yi Theater Company's Producing Artistic Director Ralph B. Peña directs a powerhouse ensemble featuring Obie Award winners Jojo Gonzalez (MA-YI's The Romance of Magno Rubio) and Mia Katigbak (NAATCO's Awake and Sing!), Tina Chilip (Golden Child), Jeffrey Omura (The Plant That Ate Dirty Socks), Conrad Schott (The Glory of the World, BAM), Tiffany Villarin (Peerless, Yale Repertory) and James Yaegashi (The Oldest Boy).
Princess Grace Award winning playwright A. Rey Pamatmat has fashioned HOUSE RULES, a funny and deeply moving new play where tradition and contemporary manners make strange bedfellows when the grown children of two Filipino-American families – neighbors in the same apartment building – come to realize their parents are not immortal, and that the rules of the many card and board games they play together are constantly renegotiated, as are the rules of living. In the mix are a tough-as-nails father, his sons, a physician and a comic book artist; a no-nonsense mother and her daughters, a doctor and a budding photographer; and another doctor who has mysteriously broken off his engagement with the old man's son.
Photos: Jojo Gonzalez, Mia Katigbak, James Yaegashi, Tina Chilip, Jeffrey Omura, Conrad Schott and Tiffany Villarin in MA-YI's Off-Broadway NY Premiere of HOUSE RULES through Apr. 16

New works developed at the Writers Lab have gone on to successful productions around the country, at such theaters as Victory Gardens, Laguna Playhouse, Long Wharf Theater, Woolly Mammoth, and the Actors Theater of Louisville, to name a few.

"Moreover, you shall make an altar as a place for burning incense; you shall make it of acacia wood." (Exodus 30:1)
Dr. Scofield, in his Scofield Reference Bible, called Exodus 30 "The Great Worship Chapter." Chapters 28 and 29 moved the focus away from the Tabernacle itself and its furniture and looked at the consecration of the priests who would serve therein and the procedure for their ordination. Now, in Chapter 30, we return to the properties of the Tabernacle by looking at the Altar of Incense.
It is interesting to note that the Altar of Incense was not mentioned back in Chapters 25-27 when all of the other furniture was described. This suggests a distinct type of function of the Altar of Incense which separates it from the other objects. Although the Altar was to be annually cleansed with the Blood of Atonement (v. 10), it symbolizes more the worship of God than Atonement itself.
The burning of incense in the Bible speaks of prayer. The Psalmist writes:
"Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice." (Psalm 141:2 KJV)
Revelation 8:3-4 connects incense with the prayers of the saints. Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist, was standing before the Altar of Incense within the Temple when the angel appeared to him saying,
"…Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John" (Luke 1:13 KJV)
The priest whose duty it was to light the incense would offer up prayers for himself and the people of Israel as he did so.
Christ Our Intercessor
"Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them" (Hebrews 7:25)
The Altar of Incense is a type of Christ as our Intercessory High Priest. Verse 8 of Exodus 30 tells us that the Incense is to burn perpetually, forever carrying with it the prayers of God's people. It symbolizes the intercession that the Lord Jesus makes for us with the Father, bringing our prayers and petitions to Him. As pure smoke rising to Heaven for the pleasure of God alone, the incense represents holy and undefiled worship of the Lord (cf. v. 37).
To God goes all glory. In service to Him,

WASHINGTON — A new study warns that the U.S. must develop cyber intelligence as a new and better coordinated government discipline that can predict and deter computer-related threats.
The report by the Intelligence and National Security Alliance says the dramatic expansion of sophisticated cyber-attacks has moved beyond acceptable losses for government and businesses that simply threaten finances or intellectual property.
The report comes amid growing worries that the U.S. is not prepared for a major cyberattack, even as hackers, criminals and nation states continue to probe and infiltrate government and business networks millions of times a day.

5 Things I Learned When I Became a Parent
I was 22 years old when I started teaching. I had no responsibilities, could work all day and relax and play all night (after planning that was).
For 10 years I watched children come to school at 8 am and at 3 o'clock I sent them home again. Except for parent-teacher interviews I had little thought about what went on at home.
At 32 I became a parent and found out so many things I never knew before. And now I am a working mum of Dusty who is lovingly cared for by many young teachers at Day Care.
Here is what I now know, that I never really understood before having a child:
Parents are tired.
I am lucky. Dusty slept through the night from 6 months. But she is an early riser and some days she is up at 4 am ready for cereal "Because it is Daytime now". But my friend Kellie has 3 kids aged 9 down to 2 and has not slept through the night for 9 whole years.
As a young teacher, I never understood how hard it is to be a great mom with very little sleep. Now I have some empathy.
It took an effort to get here.
As a young teacher, I would get up, have breakie, get ready and head to school. As a parent, I also have to get a little person ready. That is the easy part. Getting to daycare takes hard work. In between 'bottom burps', projectile vomits, missing shoes and screaming I also had to combat peak hour traffic.
Bad mornings take on a whole new meaning with kids.
Life Happens
I now realize that while education is important, life is what really matters. If a parent lets me know of a family problem, change in schedule or even a late night I understand.
Parents really are asking for help.
At the moment my husband and I are having issues getting Dusty to sleep at night. I went into Day Care last week and asked for some ideas. One beautiful teacher just looked at me as if I was crazy. And I have given the same look before to my parents. I am sure she was thinking "You are the parent and a teacher and I am only 22. How would I know anything more than you?"
One young male teacher I know is so surprised when parents come in and ask him for advice on parenting their pre-teen daughters. He is shocked because he is closer in age to the child then the parents.
I now know how hard it is to ask for help. And the teacher, no matter what their age, is one of the best people to ask.
Improved parent teachers connections are easier to achieve through awareness. I do not believe I became a better teacher just because I became a parent. But I do believe a became a better communicator.

State Schools Chief Tom Torlakson Congratulates San Francisco Principal for Winning National Award
SACRAMENTO— State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson today congratulated Sunset Elementary School Principal Sophie Lee, winner of the Terrel H. Bell Award for Outstanding School Leadership. The U.S. Department of Education announced last week that Lee is one of eight principals nationwide to win the award, and will be honored during the National Blue Ribbon Schools awards ceremony on November 6, 2017, in Washington, D.C.
"Principal Lee is a great leader. Since assuming her position at Sunset Elementary School in 2002, she has transformed the school into a high-performing, tech-savvy, community that welcomes, celebrates, and honors its diverse students, parents, educators, and school community," said Torlakson. "Her dedication and creativity produces an atmosphere of collaboration with teachers, staff, and families so they can all help students succeed."
Under Principal Lee's guidance, a parent-teacher committee developed an Instructional Technology Roadmap to ensure all students learn technology skills from typing to creating videos. With PTA assistance, Principal Lee procured equipment for a Technology Lab and 1:1 devices for all students. In addition, all students now attend classes in drama, visual arts, choral and instrumental music, and contemporary dance, reflecting Principal Lee's belief that the arts enrich the lives of all students.
Named for the second U.S. Secretary of Education, the Bell Award honors exemplary school leaders as part of the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program. Principals are nominated by their school communities during the final stages of the National Blue Ribbon Schools application process. San Francisco's Sunset Elementary School was recognized as an "Exemplary High Performing School" and was among 23 California public schools honored as a National Blue Ribbon School in 2017.
Lee, an educator for more than 40 years, previously received the San Francisco Mayor's Principal of the Year award at the elementary school level for the 2014-15 school year. A former public school student, Lee has recently led initiatives to engage parents, to green and beautify the campus, and increase community cohesion at her school.

Buffalo at Silverado: In the Community
Buffalo at Silverado is in the heart of an absolutely stunning south west community. We are 5 kilometers east of the world famous equestrian facility Spruce Meadows and minutes away from the Shawnessy LRT station.
In the Silverado Market Place you'll find tons of amenities such as Sobey's, Shoppers Drug Mart, Anytime fitness, and Hot-Shop Yoga. We have a Starbucks, TD and BMO, plus a Leap 'n Learn for useful child care services. You will find nothing short of convenience right near your home.
We are also a short distance to the South Health Campus, several reputable golf courses, and South Center Mall.
Overlooking beautiful west views, rolling hills and south west acreages; you'll see exactly why we love Buffalo at Silverado so much. Especially with all the gorgeous autumn colors. A short drive to Macleod Trail and right off of Stoney Trail, the magnificent silhouettes of the downtown towers peak on the north horizon reminding you that you've got the best of rural and urban living.
We hope you come out to visit and see what we're so proud of.
Until next time,
Whitney @ Buffalo.
