Something Old & Something New
Tomboyama is offering for the 2016 school year something old and something new.
We've had many requests to do another Oroshigane Seminar, having not done so for several years. This is a weekend event on converting pure iron into high quality sword steel.
Oroshigane is the process by which carbon content is adjusted; It can be iron to which carbon is added or steel of too high a carbon content needing a reduction in carbon. Once adjusted this steel is termed Tamahagane, "jewel blade metal".
We will be adding carbon to electrolytic sponge iron (denkaitetsu in Japanese), thus making Tamahagane.
This steel and the steel smelted from high quality sand ore are the only materials allowed in modern Japanese swords, as the two are chemically nearly identical.
The new part is this year we will follow up the weekend seminar with a five day course using the steel just made, which we are calling our Advanced Forging Course. This will include assembling a billet of steel and folding the metal for the required number of folds. When the folding is done a bar will be drawn out and cut to make blanks that will be forged to shape. Each student will have enough material to forge a tanto.
This promises to be an interesting and challenging course and will aid in the understanding of the Japanese sword.
An Alumnus's Experience at Tomboyama
An alumnus of our dojo wrote about his experience here in 2015 during a Basic Forging Course.
"The course is not easy per se, but it's deeply satisfying. I'd even say it was meditative. You're able to comfortably lose yourself in the task at hand, while also earning a deeper appreciation of just how much time a steady hand takes to develop. At the end of the course, you have a living blade that you yourself have shaped and created, and a wealth of knowledge. It's a beginner's level course, but you leave empowered and equipped to return home and continue your education via honing your skills until you can return to Coos Bay for the next class."

Phoenix, UD!
19 comments:
Congratulations on the UD!!!ReplyDelete
I look forward to your posts on how to maintain that happy attitude that's outside of the ring, inside the ring. I am struggling with that with both of my dogs, though I'm pretty sure that it's for different reasons with each. Sometimes it's there, but mostly it's not. And we're only at the novice level!!
Congratulations! I've been following Phoenix's journey, and this is definitely a landmark achievement. Maybe try some more Rally with him? Rally helped my dog's confidence a TON and also has helped him calm down in a trial environment.ReplyDelete
That is super and all of us that follow your blog are proud of you and Phoenix! Your insight of his trialing experiences is a great learning curve for all of us. Congrats to you both and we are glad you went back the 2nd day!ReplyDelete
congrats on the title!ReplyDelete
and I am sure that you will figure out the root of his stress- and overcome that. Obedience is a difficult sport, and our dogs like to keep us guessing!
Great job!!ReplyDelete
I always get something out of your training/ trailing insights so this post was great and I am also looking forward to the one about the UDX. I learned Pie does better with no formal warm up, just lots and lots of physical play. Our main focus is agility but I do want to get her UDX. It will be my first one. We had a long NQ spell- failing the signals, articles or groups. I finally realized it was stress related, which is when I ditched the warm up. It finally paid off. My goal last weekend was to get points off for excessive play in the ring, like one of the competitors did at the NOC. I guess the judges were lenient or I didn't play enough because as far as I can tell that didn't happen. But having that goal helped me to remember to play and relax.
Congrats again! Good boy Phoenix!
Congratulations!!!! It sounds like he adapted over the course of the weekend and learned to enjoy it more!ReplyDelete
Yippppeeeee!!!!!! (good thing I bought THREE)ReplyDelete
So happy for you :) with that under your belt I suspect the stress will ease a little (maybe for you both) and fun will be more easily seen!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 16, 2011 at 3:41 AM
Yeah for UD Phoenix!!! Still think he should have had a kitty for earning that title. Happy for you Melinda. I know how much you train. Will see you this week-end. I promise to not take treats into the ring while stewarding.ReplyDelete
Huge Congratulations from us in MD. I am anxious to read about what you do from here, because I'm struggling with the same issues with my dog. She's notorious for those expensive walk-backs, too, and really deflates lately when I take her lead off.ReplyDelete
Just for now, though, enjoy the high that goes with the new UD !!!
Congratulations! And thank you for sharing all the details (gory and glory!). Maybe I shouldn't give up when Orbit shuts down the first day of a trial -- maybe she too could benefit from getting used to the environment.ReplyDelete
Dogs are tough to figure out, well not as tough as teenagers. LOL I hope you can get your happy confident dog in the ring. Its so frustrating when stuff like that happens. Congrats on your UD!!! Looking forward to reading you post.ReplyDelete
Congratulations! That whole stress thing is a killer, and has kept me out of the Utility ring with Taz the Terv. He's not at all a nervous or shy dog, but I think the Belgian need to manage the environment plus the knowledge that you're supposed to be devoting your brain to the exercises equals major stress slow-down (and inability to do the down signal).ReplyDelete
Congrats! One day we'll build up the courage to step into the obedience ring. You guys are an inspiration. Great Job :)ReplyDelete
BIG time congrats on the UD! That is a amazing achievement!! And like many others have mentioned I also greatly appreciate all your posts and insights!ReplyDelete
Congrats on the UD!!!ReplyDelete
Yay Phoenix and Mom! You are da bomb! Great job you two.ReplyDelete
Huge congrats. Fantastic acheivement!ReplyDelete
Many (late!) congratulations on the UD!ReplyDelete

I found this cute little dragonfly resting in the sun today on my parent's deck.
He was quite a friendly little guy. I put my hand right up to him and he crawled up onto my fingers. It could have been that I'd had too much coffee and sun, but it seemed like he was maybe saying hello. :)
A couple more pictures from today...
I let the kids stay up late enough that they were practically begging to go to bed. Now that they're all tucked in, it's just me, my chocolate and the tv. I hope I actually manage to stay awake to enjoy the quietness. :)

War crimes prosecutor seeks jurisdiction over Rohingya deportations
War crimes prosecutor seeks jurisdiction over Rohingya deportations
The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has asked it to rule on whether it has jurisdiction over the deportations of Rohingya people from Myanmar to Bangladesh, a possible crime against humanity, according to a filing published on Monday.
A ruling affirming jurisdiction could pave the way for Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda to investigate the deportation of many thousands of Rohingya, though Myanmar is unlikely to cooperate.
"This is not an abstract question but a concrete one, affecting whether the Court may exercise jurisdiction … to investigate and, if necessary, prosecute," Bensouda said in the filing.
The main reason for doubt over jurisdiction is that, while Bangladesh is a member of the court, Myanmar is not.
Bensouda argued that, given the cross-border nature of the crime of deportation, a ruling in favor of ICC jurisdiction would be in line with established legal principles.
But she acknowledged uncertainty around the definition of the crime of deportation and limits of the court's jurisdiction.
Her request is the first of its kind filed at the court. She asked the court to call a hearing to hear her arguments, as well as those of other interested parties.
The magistrate assigned to consider the request, Congolese judge Antoine Kesia-Mbe Mindua, will have considerable leeway in determining how to proceed.
According to the United Nations, some 700,000 mostly Muslim Rohingya fled their homes into Bangladesh after militant attacks in August last year triggered a military crackdown that the United Nations has said constitutes ethnic cleansing.
Buddhist-majority Myanmar rejects that charge, saying its forces have been waging a legitimate campaign against Rohingya who attacked government forces. Many in Myanmar regard the Rohingya as illegal immigrants from Bangladesh.

You know what the problem with your bike is? The pedals go round. That's right, you're wasting precious time with those freely-rotating platforms you drive the rear wheel with.
We're being facetious of course, but the Cranklock does what it says on the tin: locks the cranks. And you'd want that why? because it means that you can descend faster, they say.
And this claim is backed up with some drawings culled from a GCSE geometry textbook and some rad quotes from a downhiller. So it must be true. Sorry, there we go again.
Okay, back to the science behind all this. When it comes to cornering, says New Zealand based Chris Toal, the designer of the system, a bicycle is flawed because the pedals are free to rotate, and this pushes your weight onto your outside foot reducing the traction to the front wheel. With the pedals locked horizontally you can lean into the corner more, putting more weight on the inside of the corner. This, apparently, is the reason why motorbikes can lean much further than cycles.
Toal orginally tested his theory with a Heath-Robinson prototype and a bunch of willing riders on a 3km downhill stretch of road to the local beach. By the end of the day the riders were able to complete the course on average 20 seconds quicker with the pedals locked than by simply coasting with the pedals left free to rotate.
"You ride past the 'I am going to crash' point, and you lock it, and put your weight on it," Toal told the Gizmag website. "And as soon as you put your weight on it, the bike does this weird thing. It feels like you've stepped off your bike onto some sort of scooter - 'cause it stops wobbling. Because all your weight goes from up high in the bike, and balancing between your arms and the wobbly pedals, straight down to your feet. So exactly when you need it, in the middle of the corner, your center of gravity drops down around your feet."
Toal sees the technology as applicable to all areas of cycling. MTB downhillers have already heaped praise on the system and the theoretical time gains may well interest road riders too, although obviously they would have to be balanced against the weight gains. Commuters could benefit from increased control too, says Toal, and the system also doubles as an extra security device, allowing the rider to lock the pedals when away from the bike.

2019 Volvo S60 T8 Polestar Concept – Just the other working day we urged you to have in range for the limited-model Volvo S60 T8 Polestar Designed sedan since with only 20 units earmarked for the U.S. marketplace these folks were less likely to hold around for too long. Nicely, our forecasts were actually way off. We proposed that the S60 T8 sedans would market out in mere seconds, but it really basically took a full 39 a few minutes. Clearly, the decreasing curiosity in sporty sedans in favor of SUVs has become considerably embellished.
While the tiny handful of available cars is evidently a portion of the explanation they out of stock so easily, the impressive new 415-hp, 494 lb-ft super and turbocharged several-cylinder hybrid powerplant are also to some extent to the fault. The Polestar Engineered tag also means that apart from the improved power, this S60 becomes many performances enhancing updates like greater braking system an uprated suspensions and Ohlins jolt absorbers.

The gold seatbelts, gold-decorated calipers, and black chrome accents are all hallmarks of the Polestar Engineered range. The sedan could simply be ordered utilizing the firms Care by Volvo membership assistance, the charge for the T8 S60 is $1,100 each month.
Based on Volvo, the levels of fascination in the car has motivated the automaker to provide a complimentary Polestar Engine Application Optimisation improve to the after that 200 Treatment by Volvo S60 T6 R-Design subscribers. The very good news is that the V60 wagon and XC60 SUV are currently earmarked for the Polestar Engineered therapy in the coming year. Let us expect this robust attention in their best performance models persuades Volvo to spend more than just a handful of devices of these cars for our marketplace.

The Salesians of Don Bosco, Mumbai Province, organised the traditional "YOUTH FEST" (Salesian Youth Festival) at Don Bosco, Borivli on Sunday, 20th January 2013. The theme of the event was that of the forthcoming World Youth Day: "Go and make disciples of all peoples" (Mt 28:19). A large number of vibrant and energetic youngsters from Salesian presences participated in this event. The main coordinators of the event were Frs. Allwyn Misquitta and Edwin Colaco together with the DBYS team and the Salesian Youth Animators.
It all began at 8:00 am with youngsters from various parishes registering themselves and getting energized with a nice breakfast. The youth then participated in a praise and worship session led by the 'El Shaddai' music ministry from Don Bosco, Borivli. Every youth relived God's love and mercy through music and had a spiritual experience. The youth were then regrouped into teams. The inauguration service highlighted the Church's Year of FAITH, by the carrying of the Cross, lighting of the Lamp and the presentation of some Symbols of our Faith. Fr. Ajoy Fernandes, Vice-Provincial of the Mumbai province and Fr. Alyosius Furtado, Parish Priest of Don Bosco Borivli, then welcomed everyone gathered at this event.
We thereafter had a panel discussion on "Living Your Faith". The panellists Lenny Soares and Michelle Gonsalves shared their testimonies on how they lived their faith in life's difficult situations. The youth also got a chance to ask them questions. It was an enriching encounter, which gave much food for thought to the participants and helped them realise how they could be better witnesses to their faith in their daily lives. This was followed by a presentation on the World Youth Day 2013 to be held at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Fr. Allwyn and a representative of Purple Orchid holidays informed the youth about a pilgrimage being organised by the Bombay Diocesan Youth Centre to the WYD. A representative of RedQuanta also presented to the youth the concept of mystery shopping and the opportunities they could avail of. We then celebrated the Eucharist presided by Fr. Glen Lowe. The inspiring gospel of the wedding feast at Cana and the homily given by Fr. Glen made us realize that this year of faith is an opportunity to fill the 7th jar of our lives and to commit to live our lives faithfully. The liturgy was well conducted and the choir helped us lift our hearts to God.
Having filled our spiritual hunger at the Eucharist, we then proceeded for a sumptuous lunch that was awaiting us. It was time then to shake our legs and set the ground on fire. Every one enjoyed the music and danced to the DJ's tunes. Spot prizes were also given. Next, we had Mrs. Kia Scherr, who lost her husband and 13-year old daughter in the 26/11 Mumbai terrorist attacks, shared her testimony and told us how she's trying to become an instrument of peace throughout the world. She then flagged off a Peace March to Shanti Daan. At Shanti Daan, we were touched by the vocation lived by the Brothers of Mother Teresa, who carry out the mission given by Blessed Teresa of Calcutta to care for the abandoned and physically/mentally challenged. Br. Oscar, the director of the institute then spoke to us about their apostolate and its challenges.
It was then time for each parish to present their Youth Outreach Programmes. It was an informative and inspiring moment. Fr. Ajoy proposed the vote of thanks and thanked each and every one who had made the event a great success. The enjoyable and memorable day came to an end, with the youth walking out, having a cup of tea, making new friends, sharing their faith with others and learning to live their faith. And that is what the Don Bosco Youth Fest is really all about!

Ruling Could Unleash Solar Power Growth in Virginia
A recent Virginia regulatory ruling could make it much easier for homeowners, businesses and other building owners to go solar, potentially boosting the state's lagging efforts to generate power from the sun.
A hearing examiner for the State Corporation Commission, Virginia's utility regulator, ruled that nothing in state law bars ratepayers from tapping third-party financing for solar panels.
The hearing examiner rejected a contention by one utility serving the state, Appalachian Power, that third-party financing, including relatively inexpensive "power purchase agreements," is generally not legal in Virginia.
Under a power purchase agreement, a building owner leases rather than buys solar panels. The company that owns the solar panels sells the electricity generated to the local power company. The solar company provides a share of that revenue to the building owner to reduce the structure's monthly utility bill.
Appalachian Power, a unit of Ohio-based American Electric Power, argued that third-party solar financing increases the costs of electricity to customers who aren't generating power onsite, and as such are not permitted in Virginia.
The ruling specifically addresses power purchase agreements involving a consortium of colleges. However, Will Cleveland, an attorney with the Southern Environmental Law Center, said that the relevant portion of the Virginia code makes no distinction between residential and nonresidential customers.
The hearing examiner's ruling now goes to the full State Corporation Commission, which will likely make a final decision later this year, Cleveland said.
Appalachian Power spokesman John Shepelwich noted that the company had proposed an alternative that would allow customers to purchase 100 percent renewable energy in a way that "does not impact other customers." The Appalachian proposal would require that customers pay $30 a month just to participate in the program.
The hearing examiner, however, rejected Appalachian's proposal. The company is evaluating its next steps, Shepelwich said.
Virginia lags behind all but one of its neighboring states in the amount of solar power capacity. Advocates say a major factor has been the inability of consumers in the Old Dominion to finance the steep upfront costs.
Though the 12th most populous state, Virginia ranked 32nd in the amount of solar capacity in 2015, with only 22 megawatts installed, according to Solar Energy Industries Association data. The District of Columbia had 15 megawatts, by comparison.
Gov. Terry McAuliffe has made expansion of solar power a priority, and several large-scale solar power stations have been announced this year. But rooftop solar capacity lags badly.
Neighboring North Carolina, which has long had polices supporting solar power, had almost 2,300MW of solar power capacity in 2015, ranking it No. 3 in the nation. Tennessee, Virginia's neighbor to the southwest, had 123MW.
Among the other Bay states, New York had 716MW of installed solar capacity in 2015. Maryland had 465MW, and Pennsylvania had 265MW. The smallest state in the watershed, Delaware, had 84MW installed.
The only state in the watershed or the region that Virginia outshines is West Virginia, according to the industry association. The Mountain State, with the second lowest median income in the nation, had only 3.4 MW in 2015, enough to power just 300 homes.
Whatever the State Corporation Commission decides, the General Assembly is likely to take up the issue next year. The Southern Environmental Law Center's Cleveland predicted that rival bills would be introduced, one to enshrine power purchase agreements in state law and one to ban them.

Natalie Portman is busy promoting Thor: The Dark World and giving some great hair moves in the midst. Her latest look? This new haircut: a sleek long bob coloured with ombre tones. Nice.
She revealed her new locks at the film's premier in Paris and the simple style update looked totally current. She ticks all the minimal hair trend rules: sleek and straight, super-shine, simple centre-parting.
The evening before at the London reveal of the film, Natalie channelled elegance with a classic ponytail.
It was the handiwork of celebrity hairstylist and Pantene Pro-V Global Ambassador, Danilo, who revealed to us his pony tricks. Check out the step-by-step tips below.
We're currently debating our fave at Cosmo HQ and remembering Natalie's hairstyle files. Remember her blunt fringed bob in Leon? Incredible. Her ringlets in Star Wars? How about the pink wig in Closer? Hey, she even pulled off a shaved head for V for Vendetta with aplomb.
What a lady.HOW TO DO NATALIE PORTMAN'S PERFECT PONYTAIL:
- Start with freshly washed hair or dampen hair with the Pantene Pro-V Instant Nourishing Spray, misting through the hair in four sections- back, top and sides
- For added nourishment, apply a light application of Pantene Pro-V Deep Moisture Soufflé
- If you tend to have frizz or split ends apply an additional serum like the Expert Collection Keratin Repair Split End Fuser to the ends to help prevent frizz and give hair that sleek finish
- To add texture to the pony I'd also then apply a volumiser like Pantene Pro-V Volume Booster Spray Gel. This will act as a setting lotion to reinforce the bountiful shape
- Now, blow dry the hair smooth using a mixed bristle paddle brush
- Then go over the hair with straighteners for a really smooth finish
- Brush hair into desired position - Natalie's is positioned mid-way to still allow some height
- Then secure with a hooked elastic or hair-tie
- Add a little Pantene Pro-V Expert Collection Advanced Keratin Repair Split End Fuser on surface of the hair and brush through for added shine
- Then splitting hair into four or five sections, spray the hair with hairspray and wrap around large tongs and pin to cool
- Once cool, un-pin the hair and taking a very small section, wrap this around the base of the pony to cover the hair tie, pin in place and spray with hairspray to secure whilst adding shine
- Then, spray the hair with hairspray and brush out the remaining pony tail
- Finish and set the hair with a final spritz of hairspray

It is not hard to understand why, when Fortune magazine sent James Agee to rural Alabama to document the lives of poor white tenant farmers in 1936, this is not exactly the sort of reportage the editors were expecting:
A man and a woman are drawn together upon a bed and there is a child and there are children:
First they are mouths, then they become auxiliary instruments of labor: later they are drawn away, and become the fathers and mothers of children, who shall become the fathers and mothers of children:
Their father and their mother before them were, in their time, the children each of different parents, who in their time were each children of parents:
This has been happening for a long while: its beginning was before stars:
It will continue for a long while: no one knows where it will end:
While they are still drawn together within one shelter around the center of their parents, these children and their parents together compose a family:
This family must take care of itself; it has no mother or father: there is no other shelter, nor resource, nor any love, interest, sustaining strength or comfort, so near, nor can anything happy or sorrowful that comes to anyone in this family possibly mean to those outside it what it means to those within it: but it is, as I have told, inconceivably lonely, drawn upon itself as tramps are drawn round a fire in the cruelest weather; and thus and in such loneliness it exists among other families, each of which is no less lonely, nor any less without help or comfort, and is likewise drawn in upon itself:
Such a family lasts, for a while: the children are held to a magnetic center:
Then in time the magnetism weakens, both of itself in its tiredness of aging and sorrow, and against the strength of the growth of each child, and against the strength of pulls from outside, and one by one the children are drawn away:
Of those that are drawn away, each is drawn elsewhere toward another: once more a man and a woman, in a loneliness they are not liable at that time to notice, are tightened together upon a bed: and another family has begun:
Moreover, these flexions are taking place every where, like a simultaneous motion of all the waves of the water of the world: and these are the classic patterns, and this is the weaving, of human living: of whose fabric each individual is a part: and of all parts of this fabric let this be borne in mind:
Each is intimately connected with the bottom and extremest reach of time:
Each is composed of substances identical with the substance of all that surrounds him, both the common objects of his disregard, and the hot centers of stars:
All that each person is, and experiences, and shall never experience, in body and in mind, all these things are differing expressions of himself and of one root, and are identical: and not one of these things nor one of these persons is ever quite to be duplicated, nor replaced, nor has it ever quite had precedent: but each is a new and incommunicably tender life, wounded in every breath, and almost as hardly killed as easily wounded: sustaining, for a while, without defense, the enormous assaults of the universe:
So that how it can be that a stone, a plant, a star, can take on the burden of being; and how it is that a child can take on the burden of breathing; and how through so long a continuation and cumulation of the burden of each moment one on another, does any creature bear to exist, and not break utterly to fragments of nothing: these are matters too dreadful and fortitudes too gigantic to meditate long and not forever to worship.
I have been meaning to write something about Agee's work, which, as with many things that are great and American, I have only belatedly discovered. But as a preliminary exercise I wanted simply to transcribe this astounding passage, this effusion of pseudophilosophical grandiosity, in order to see whether, by channeling it through my own eyes and fingers, I might better understand what springs of inspiration this ingenious, cocky writer (and terrible journalist) is drawing upon. But anyway, more to follow shortly.

The penultimate episode of The Celebrity Apprentice was anything but predictable, with viewers seeing three more famous faces fired and this season's final two revealed. WWE superstar Maria Kanellis was the first to go - shortly followed by Sharon Osbourne and Curtis Stone - after Donald Trump asked the stars to explain why they should stay and why someone else should be sent home. We caught up with her as she chatted with reporters about what advice of Trump's she will always remember, being pocket-dialled by Sharon Osbourne and who she will keep in touch with.
Were you upset at all with the way you were fired? It seemed a bit of a let-down...
"It was big time a let-down. People make comments all the time in the boardroom that don't belong in a work environment but we like to have fun in there. It's not our full-time job, we are there working for charity. Some of the comments I've heard in the past in the boardroom have been a hundred times worse than what I said. I was a bit surprised. It was supposed to be a joke but it didn't turn out that way. People have different senses of humor. I was crying, I was mad, a whole slew of emotions."
Do you think the other players were starting to throw you under the bus?
"Yes I do think that. I think I was an easy target because you can easily say she's younger than everyone else, she doesn't have as much experience. That's an easy way out. If you have to throw someone out you throw out whoever is the easiest because people can identify with that. But in all honesty I don't think I was the weakest player at all. I worked hard, I had great ideas, I do have a lot of experience. I have almost 12 years experience between modeling and entertainment so I do have a few years of experience. Not as many as others, but it's not like I was coming in fresh off the boat."
How did you feel about the comments that you were too young to know certain things?
"Yeah, there was a bunch of them and there was more when I watched it back because I'm not in the interviews to hear what they are saying. Youths come in with fresh ideas and the ones who have a few more years on earth bring experience. I hadn't had as much experience on this planet as others had on the team but that doesn't mean I can't bring great, fresh ideas so it frustrated me in a lot of ways. A lot of young people have come up to me and said that it frustrated them as well, because we are just beginning, we are just starting our adventure. Sure we're going to mess up a million times but there is something to be said for being enthusiastic."
What surprised you the most about the show?
"I really thought it would be like a normal work day until 5pm at night, but it was from 4am in the morning getting hair and make-up done and working until midnight. I've never been so tired in my entire life! We worked six days a week from four in the morning until midnight every night and it was exhausting!"
Did Trump give you any advice that you will keep with you?
"Constantly, all the time. He was always saying how much of a hard worker he is which is why he expects so much from his employees. I learned that working for Vince McMahon, too. You have to be a very hard worker as a leader in order to get your employees or the people who are underneath you to listen or work just as hard as you."
Who will you keep in touch with?
"I've kept in touch with Holly and I end up doing so much with Curtis, and I'm sure I'll keep in touch with him. Bret, we kind of text here and there. Of course I haven't really talked to him much in the last couple of months, but I'm sure it will be one of those text here and there things, and keep in touch. Sharon must have pocket-dialled me one day. It was the funniest thing! It was four in the morning and I was getting a call from Sharon Osbourne! I thought, 'How weird is my life?!'"
We are starting to see the beginning of the final task. What can you tell us about what we will see on Sunday?
"Oh my gosh, it's like ripping your hair out because there is so much to do! So you're going to see that frustration!"
What sort of qualities did you see in Bret and why do you think he made it to the final two?
"Coming off Rock Of Love and all that kind of stuff, I had a completely different opinion of him. But when I got to work with him and be around him, he is a really nice guy. He is a great guy with tremendous ideas and I was thoroughly impressed by him the entire show."
Who are you tipping to win?
"I'm very torn because I think that Bret is a great guy and I understand his charity and I think it's a great thing that he's doing. Plus he has such an inspirational story being in a rock band and also having diabetes, that just doesn't compute. But with Holly, I'm on her team and I have a cousin with autism so I can see her trials. I'm torn and I can't say. I have no idea!"
The Celebrity Apprentice continues this Sunday at 9/8c on NBC

Categories, Proofs and Processes: 2007-2008
Category Theory is a powerful mathematical formalism which has become an important tool in modern mathematics, logic and computer science. One main idea of Category Theory is to study mathematical `universes', collections of mathematical structures and their structure-preserving transformations, as mathematical structures in their own right, i.e. categories - which have their own structure-preserving transformations (functors). This is a very powerful perspective, which allows many important structural concepts of mathematics to be studied at the appropriate level of generality, and brings many common underlying structures to light, yielding new connections between apparently different situations.
Another important aspect is that set-theoretic reasoning with elements is replaced by reasoning in terms of arrows. This is more general, more robust, and reveals more about the intrinsic structure underlying particular set-theoretic representations.
Category theory has many important connections to logic. We shall in particular show how it illuminates the study of formal proofs as mathematical objects in their own right. This will involve looking at the Curry-Howard isomorphism between proofs and programs, and at Linear Logic, a resource-sensitive logic. Both of these topics have many important applications in Computer Science.
Category theory has also deeply influenced the design of modern (especially functional) programming languages, and the study of program transformations. One exciting recent development we will look at will be the development of the idea of coalgebra, which allows the formulation of a notion of coinduction, dual to that of mathematical induction, which provides powerful principles for defining and reasoning about infinite objects.
This course will develop the basic ideas of Category Theory, and explore its applications to the study of proofs in logic, and to the algebraic structure of programs and programming languages.

Latinos worry after losing longtime seat in the Indiana Statehouse
In the wake of this week's sweeping GOP victories, some Latinos say they've lost an important voice in the Indiana Statehouse.
Indiana's longest serving Latino state legislator, Democrat Mara Candelaria Reardon of Munster, was first elected to the Indiana House in 2006.
For years, she was the state's only Latino lawmaker, but on Tuesday she lost a close election to her Republican opponent Bill Fine.
Reardon's district, which once included heavily Hispanic areas like Hammond and East Chicago, shrunk over the last 8 years due to GOP-led redistricting.
Her seat had been held by a Latino for the last 32 years going back to when Jesse Villalpando Jr. was first elected to the seat.
"It's changed drastically. It's certainly gotten less and less Democratic and less and less Hispanic," Reardon said. "It makes me sad that it's not a Latina seat anymore."
Reardon's defeat leaves State Rep. Christina Hale, a Democrat from Indianapolis who is part-Cuban, as Indiana's only Latino legislator.
At 5 percent, Indiana's Latino population has steadily grown over the last decade, including areas like Fort Wayne and Indianapolis.
In Lake County, Indiana, which includes Reardon's district, the Latino population is 12 percent. The history of the Hispanic community in Northwest Indiana dates back to the early 1900s when Mexicans began arriving in large numbers to work in the factories in East Chicago.
"I think it does help to have someone of a Latino background," Hale said. "And, I'm a firm believer that our state legislature and our government should reflect our community and right now it doesn't."
Hale entered the Indiana House in 2012, and on Tuesday won re-election in a Republican-leaning district.
She views Reardon as a mentor and someone who championed issues important to Latinos, such as education. She also points to Reardon's fight against state laws that some viewed as being anti-immigrant.
"We do need more people of Latino descent, and more women, different age groups, different perspectives being reflected in our legislature," Hale said. "Right now, it's fairly homogeneous."
Representative-elect Fine beat Reardon by 422 votes to win the seat. He lost to Reardon two years ago.
Fine says he's aware of issues that may be important to Latinos, although the new district boundaries don't include the predominantly Hispanic neighborhoods it once did.
Fine, who is a lawyer, says his son-in-law is Mexican-American, and he has several friends who are also Latino.
"There are all kinds of issues that are important to Hispanics," Fine said. "I don't think of it as a single-minded perspective, or single-minded issues. … And, not all Hispanics are in line with Democrats."
Before the 12th House district was redrawn, it encompassed a wide area from the shores of Lake Michigan in Whiting to the town of Dyer about 15 miles south.
"Democrats benefited from the sense that it made it nearly impossible for a Republican to win," Fine said.
The new boundaries for the 12th District include parts of Munster, Highland and Griffith, wealthier areas with few minorities.
Fine noted that the areas with large Hispanic populations, Hammond, East Chicago and Whiting, are represented by non-Latino, white or black Democrats, most of whom have been in office for years.
John Aguilera, who represented the 12th District for eight years and succeeded Villalpando, wasn't surprised by Reardon's loss to Fine.
"The way the district was lined up, I could see that coming," Aguilera, of East Chicago, said.
But Aguilera does put some of the blame of Reardon's loss on her fellow House Democrats.
"I was a little disturbed that other Democratic legislators didn't accommodate her somewhat," Aguilera said. "In Indiana, you can't create a district for one particular nationality or race but you can create a district based on communities of interest. But the Hispanic community is an afterthought. They pay it lip service."
For a time, Democrats Reardon and Hale found an ally in State Rep. Rebecca Kubacki, a Republican of Mexican descent, whose district included the City of Elkhart. But earlier this year Kubacki lost in the primary and won't serve a second two-year term.
"It breaks my heart to think that this coming year that I will be the only one left," Hale said. "It doesn't seem right and doesn't seem appropriate."

Today has been emotional. I can't be certain as to why. It feels like it came on out of the blue. This Wellness Wednesday post has nothing to do with essential oils and everything to do with mental and emotional health – my second favorite topic to discuss.
When was the last time you had a good cry? Prior to today, I can't recall the last time I had a good 'ol sob. I have had a few things on my mind over the last couple of days and apparently the sum of it all was affecting me more than I realized.
Last week marked three years that my dad has been gone. Three years that cancer claimed the win because the warrior was too weary to continue. Over a decade of fighting will do that to people. Last week was also our son's fourth birthday. He is our world and we want the best for him. There is a development where Bug is concerned that is forcing our hand on some decisions that my husband and I thought we had a few more months time before we needed to act on that has me reeling a little. We will figure it out, no doubt, but it isn't ideal and is very uncomfortable to say the least.
This week I put my mom on a plane to the Philippines by herself. That sounds ridiculous, she is a grown woman, yes. She was on a mission to prove to herself that she could make this trip by herself, without my dad… for the first time in a very, very long time. We dropped her off at SFO with a backpack and her phone. The 16 hour flight isn't as bad as it sounds, especially since she has made that flight with children in tow before; flying solo would make this a cake walk. Once she landed I was able to connect with her and check in while she navigated the local bus system…2 busses and another six hours of travel on the ground. Then finally, 24 hours nearly to the dot later, she was home with one of my uncles.
This is why my mom is my hero. She was my dad's hero too. She is as hard headed as they come and as defermined as all hell when she sets her mind to a task. The words to describe just how proud of her I am fail me. I keep thinking that my dad would be so proud of her too. In fact, I know he is. He visited me in a dream today. I don't often get visits from my dad so the fact that I did so soon after my mom got home isn't lost on me.
My mom said that all the brothers came over last night. Just as they would have if dad was there. I keep thinking that there is going to be a lot of tears for so many during this trip. It is the first time they will get to hug my mom since my dad passed. This is the first time my mom is going home to the house he built for her without him. This is the first time my mom will have come home since my grandma passed away. All of these thoughts flooded my system today and the tears started flowing. The dam of emotions broke wide open and my eyes leaked and leaked and leaked. And I felt it all.
Sometimes wellness is about riding the waves of emotion by being present and thoughtful. Feeling it all. That is where my mind and my heart was today. Those tears that were shed were my self care.

Top 20 Cell Theory Timeline And Worksheet Answer Key For Lecture Tasks
Cell Theory Timeline And Worksheet Answer Key – The Worksheet, in the word's authentic impying, is a piece of stationery on which one performs activity. They come in several shapes, most ussually connected with junior school activity assignments, tax forms, also accounting or other business circumferences. Software is increasingly taking over the paper-based worksheet.
It could be a published page that a children completes with a writing tool. No other materials are required. It's "a single paper on which work schedules, working time, special guides, etc. are wrote. A scrap of paper on which problems, ideas, or the like, are write down in tentative form." In education, a worksheet may have questions for students and where to write answers.
In department of accounting, a worksheet is, or was, a piece of instructed paper with rows and columns on which an accountant could note information or perform calculations. These are oftentimes named columnar pads, also typically green-tinted.
In computing, spreadsheet software presents, on a PC monitor, a UI that alike one or more paper accounting worksheets. Microsoft Excel, a favorite spreadsheet software, refers to a single spreadsheet (more technically, a 2-dimensional matrix or array) as a worksheet, and it bases on a collection of worksheets as a workbook.

NIV Matthew 17:19-21 (The disciples tried to heal a boy with a demon.) 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, Why couldn't we drive it out?" 20 He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." (Notes: With faith all things are possible)
NIV Mark 9: 23-24 (Jesus spoke to a father with a son with an evil spirit that asked to help them.) 23 "If you can?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for him who believes." 24 Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!" (Notes: Shows how even in his believing, he knew he was a sinner and could not do it himself.)
NIV Mark 11:22-24 (withered fig tree) "Have faith in God," Jesus answered. 23 I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. (Notes: If you pray to God, and have faith, all is possible in prayer. God listens and answers all prayers.)
NIV Matthew 21:20-22 20 …How did the fig tree wither so quickly?" they asked. 21 Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the seas,' and it will be done. 22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."
NIV 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (Notes: All have problems. God will provide all we need. May not be what we want, but it is what we need, what he wants us to have.)

NIV 1 Corinthians 11:23 …The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took break, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me." 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
Acts 2:38 Peter replied, "repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 6:25 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or drink; or about your body, what you will wear, Is not life more important that food, and the body more important than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
Matthew 6:27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 28 And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin, 29 Yet I tel you that not even Solomon in allhis splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
NIV Matthew 6:31 So do not worry, saying, "What shall we eat or what shall drink?" or "What shall we wear?" 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all you who are weary an burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. (Rest for the Weary)
