After seriously underestimating how long it would take to pack up my household things and my studio by about a factor of ten....I was rescued by several friends and my driver Gary Duplex. Gary is from Tennessee and came a day ahead of time and helped me do a marathon packing session along with a great local young man named Blake that a friend recommended for the job.
What I learned from this experience is more than I can easily put into words. The stress just about did me in. The kindness sent my way was very special and still brings me to tears. I am learning so much with each new day. I feel incredibly loved and I also find people has been so incredibly open with me lately. My conversations have so much depth and honesty and sometimes I am even overwhelmed by it all. I have had people releasing some very painful and private feelings and history...none of which I can discuss. I am left with a feeling that we all carry around some very intense hurts, illnesses, loneliness and broken relationships.
I am in Kamas Utah with about 2,000 miles to go on this trip. I have had a very intensely amazing trip so far and I will be posting photos and going into more details. So far I have experienced the immensity of driving through the steep Cascade mountain range, driving through the east sides of Washington and Oregon seeing vast rolls of hay, alfalfa, sugar beets, hops and fruit. In Idaho the rock formations have been intense and remind me of Keflavik,
I have been visiting with family in Idaho and now in Utah..meeting my great nieces and nephews.
The 2 nights I have spent in motels have been a study in contrasts. My first night was in a small old motel full of Hispanic families along with a bunch of kittens and puppies. All the little girls loved petting my small old dog Shadow and I had a great time hanging out with babies , toddlers and middle school aged boys who shared their remote controlled cars and kittens with me. Last night I stayed at a pet friendly Best Western that was luxurious and also had good energy. The restaurant next door was fairly empty and the other guests , our waitress and I had a great conversation. The waitress is a lesbian and she and her partner are trying to decide if they should have a child together. So the conversations ranged far and wide from travel, school to becoming a parent.
I traveled to Salt Lake City today and met up with Stan Roberts of XAZ Beads. He and I met years ago in Seattle at the gift show and we have talked a few times since. He gave me advise on how to build a small electric raku fired kiln. I loved seeing his set up and unique firing tricks. He is a tall slender sweet man with a great smile and lots of wisdom. I will post photos later.
Its is almost 3 am so back to bed...
Reminders to self: write about dumpster diving, keys in the car, cell phone hell, impressions of the places I have been, saying good bye one last night and gifts of the open road....fishing dreams and babies..................
More later..Pictures too.

Video Files and Formats
Fewer digital video file formats are in use than audio formats, which makes it easier to pick a standard file format to use and stream with it. With the exception of proprietary formats like the ones TiVo uses, most video programs opt for standards to ensure interoperability with playback devices. Digital video on Windows uses the AVI file format, which replaced the older Video for Windows (VFW) format. AVI files are played using DirectShow and are stored with either DV Encoder Type 1 or 2. You need an appropriate CODEC to compress and decompress AVI files. CODECs can be software that you add to your system, an operating system component, part of a chip or hardware solution, or some combination. The CODECs you have installed are listed in the Sounds and Multimedia control panel on the Hardware tab. Windows doesn't come with a DVD CODEC, but when you install a DVD player you get a CODEC that Windows Media Player can make use of. Administrators can also download CODECs from the Microsoft Web site. Among common CODECs are MPEG, Indeo, and Cinepak (for telecommunications).
The first industry-standard video format was MPEG-1, the result of the Moving Picture Experts Group. MPEG-1 is CD-quality video and isn't used by streaming receivers. MPEG-2 (.MPG files) is the video file format used by DVDs and is what is most commonly written by non-proprietary PVR recorders. You can have 720 by 480 resolution with a high picture quality. To record MPEG-2 onto a CD, you can convert the format to SVCD (SuperVideo CD) with only about 20 minutes work of video content. SVCD is a video CD standard that is meant to be a lower-cost replacement for DVD. The Windows streaming video format is WMF, or Windows Media Format, and it replaces ASF making use of an MPEG-4 encoding scheme. Both Real Video and QuickTime are also streaming video formats. Streaming video formats work by downloading a piece of the video to start playback and fetching more of the file as the buffer is used up.
Let's look at the video file formats supported by common programs and devices:
ATI All-in-Wonder: MPEG-2.
SnapStream BeyondTV!: MPEG-2, Windows Media (.WMV files).
D-Link DSM-320: MPEG-1, -2, and -4, Xvid, QuickTime, and AVI.
Windows Media Player: WF and ASF (Windows Media Files), WMV (Windows Media A/V), the native AVI file format, and MPEG, MPG, MPE, M1V, MP2 and MPV2 formats. You can support additional formats if you add a CODEC for its support.
RealOne Player: MPEG, AVI, WMV, and QT.
QuickTime Player: QuickTime Movie (MOV), MPEG-1, -2 and -4, AVI, DV Stream, and others. QuickTime has probably the most extensive file format support in the industry (see www.apple.com/quicktime/products/qt/specifications.html for a complete list).
Few recorders record AVI, opting instead for MPEG or the WMV format. The advantage of the Windows Media format is that its files are smaller than MPEG-2 and of similar quality, and you can stream WMV files over a home network or the Internet. However, WMV requires more computer resources, and for those systems like BeyondTV! that offer time shifting, WMV doesn't allow it, whereas MPEG-2 does. MPEG-2 is the portable solution because you can record it to a DVD and play it in another computer using player software. However, if you intend to view your recorded video on a DVD player you need to use a third-party application to burn your recorded content. Products that work with MPEG-2 content are Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 for the PC or Toast Titanium 6 for the Macintosh (www.roxio.com), U-Lead's DVD MovieFactory Studio Suite Deluxe (www.ulead.com/dmf/runme.htm), TMPEnc dvd Author (www.pegasys-inc.com/), and many more.

When did you first know you were on the right path in the specialty retail industry?
I used to work as a guide before I was in retail, but wanted a more stable lifestyle so I started working for my dad at the Ute. When I realized I could still influence people's outdoor experience by selling them the right gear for their adventure, I knew that I wouldn't miss out on the part of guiding that I enjoyed most: making sure people got the most out of their experience with the natural world. Although I am not out there with clients anymore, I love knowing that I have contributed to the success of their adventure by getting them the perfect set up for what they want to do.
What's your favorite part of your job?
Getting people in the right gear to have a great experience in the outdoors. I truly believe that if people have fun outside, then they will want to be better stewards of our natural world and will help to take care of it for the future. I love being a part of the "a-ha" moment for people on their first outdoor experience and seeing them understand why we are so passionate about being outside and preserving that for generations to come.
What's the most valuable lesson you learned through Mann U?
That having the conversations to correct problem behaviors is not a personal attack. It enabled us as a business to get our employees on board with our standards and has made those conversations much more effective when they have no personal or emotional attachment.
Give us one pointer for developing a genuine relationship with your customers.
Gaining their trust is essential. Engaging with them on a non-sales level is a great way to develop a relationship based on being part of the same community. We try to take part in social events and put on races that invite people to be part of our Ute community, whether or not they spend money in our store.
Your bumper sticker would read, "I'd rather be… ___."
Playing outside with my favorite partner—my dad!
What was your favorite part of working with the Mann Group?
I really appreciated the concrete solutions that we left with. We have attended plenty of management seminars that work on big ideas and lack actionable solutions to take home and implement. I felt like when we came home home from Mann U we could put what we practiced to use right away. I think our managers have done especially well with implementing the interviewing/hiring process and we have gotten a ton of compliments on our staff since we started using the Mann principles for hiring.

I intend to spend this day with all the curiosity and imagination that God gave me.
Before I get out of bed, I will put my hand on my HEART and say, "Good morning, (my name)! Good morning, God!" God will be my companion all day. I will notice today how my body moves, how I am curious, how my imagination works.
I intend to spend this day with God.
Psalm 139:14 (NRSV)
I will praise you God, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
I intend to share my joy.
How will I share this day?
Make up a story? Poem?
Ask a friend how they are feeling?

From the Brookland museum and the Concord Project sites:
The Concorde simulator is at the Brookland museum, just 1 hour from London, with easy access from the M25 and A3.
Built in 1974, the Concorde simulator cost today's equivalent of £30M. By 1987 the sim had undergone a major visual system upgrade, at a further cost of £3 million, and which brought it in line with all the best sims around the world. Two thirds of the upgrade cost went on a Rediffusion SP-X 500/WIDE full-daylight panoramic visual system. This gave pilots a 150° by 40° view of projected, computer-generated images. The updates to the system also vastly increased the scope of the artificial landscape that it was possible to fly over. The original sim setup was limited to the single airport and surrounding scenery of the large models, whereas the new system enabled pilots to 'fly' to many of the major airports around the world.
British Airways decommissioned the Filton based simulator in early 2004 – a few months after they ceased Concorde operations – and it was subsequently announced that it was to be loaned to Brooklands Museum. Later that year it was transported to the museum in two halves (see photo). Originally the plan was for just the cockpit section to go on display but a plan was soon formed to bring the simulator back to life, although, when it was decommissioned the sim's motion system was scrapped so it is now a fixed base simulator.
In January 2008 the simulator was moved into a newly refurbished room in a building next to Concorde Delta Golf and work got underway to rejoin the two halves and get the sim operational again. In June 2009 the simulator was officially opened to the public and it is now open for viewing, when operational constraints allow.
The project to get the sim operational again was a joint venture between the University of Surrey (UniS) and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). It involved the integration of the existing simulator cockpit with modern flight simulation software. This was engineered by XPI Simulation Ltd, who are specialists in simulation software and hardware. The simulated environment is projected onto a large screen in front of the cockpit windows and Concorde is 'flown' using the original flight controls and system controls inside the simulator. This includes the control columns, trim switches, rudder pedals, throttles, reheat switches, landing gear lever, toe brakes and the nose and visor lever. Alongside this, nearly all of the instruments on the pilots panel are also operational. This includes the ADIs, ASIs, HSIs, VSIs, primary engine instruments, DME indicators, pressure altimeters, radio altimeters and also the famous Machmeters. As of the end of 2011, sections of the flight engineers panel have now been brought back to life as well. This includes Concorde's complicated fuel control system.
Simulator Visual System Upgrade:
Over several months during Spring and Summer 2013 the simulator underwent a major upgrade of the visual system. This actually involved refitting the back projection screen and mirror from the original WIDE system that was fitted to the simulator when it was operational at Filton. These two large components were removed from the sim in 2003 and placed in storage at British Airways Flight Training facility at Heathrow airport, with a view to them being kept as spares for some of the airline's other simulators. However, in 2011 BA decided they were no longer required and they offered both the screen and mirror to Brooklands. They were transported to the museum in early 2012.
Refitting the back projection screen and mirror was both technically and logistically complex and took around 4 months to be completed by museum volunteers. It involved the partial dismantling of the simulator to remove the existing canvas projection screen and blackout frame, the relocation of all the computer and equipment racks and actually moving the simulator itself several feet to accommodate the large mirror. The screen and mirror of the WIDE system create what is known as a collimated display. A collimated display is focused to infinity and allows the projected images to appear the same to both pilots, eliminating distortion and parallax errors. The images are first projected on to the translucent back projection screen mounted above the cockpit and this image is reflected by the large concave mirror in front of the cockpit windows. The mirror surface is not glass – which would be both too heavy and very expensive – but actually a Mylar film which is drawn flat into a frame by a vacuum pump. Not only has the refitting of the original projection system greatly improved the visuals viewed through the cockpit windows, but, from a historical point of view, it has also returned the simulator to it's original operational configuration.
If you fancy the chance to fly the Concorde Simulator, with tuition from a real Concorde pilot, Brooklands Museum offers a limited number of special 'At the Controls of Concorde' events which can include up to 30 minutes actually flying the Concorde Simulator, plus a meal with a former British Airways Concorde Captain and a visit to the real Concorde cockpit on G-BBDG. Two special packages are available. Read more. To make a booking or check the latest prices and availability, please contact the museum directly on 01932 857381 ext. 381 or ext. 237, or by email at >.

I have always been very particular about jewelry. I love picking out fun pieces here and there but most of the time I wear the same things day in and day out. The focus of my efforts has gone to my hair - long hair with extensions all curled and fluffed to my own idea of perfection. But as you might have caught on by now, about two weeks ago I chopped my hair. Which means it is time start turning my detailing attention somewhere else. And I picked jewelry. I swapped our my daily fitbit and simple gold jewelry for watches, bracelets, and statement necklaces. One of which has been on replay with my ensembles since making the big chop to the hair.
Necklace: Happiness Boutique
Top: Jane
Pants: Old Navy
Watch: Arvo
Shoes: Target
I was excited to find Happiness Boutique and their killer necklaces. Seriously, there are so many to pick from. I picked this one to dress up outfits but now that I have the lob going on I am enjoying it with lots of different looks. There are tons of jewelry to pick from which is great because they have a customer reward program so you are incentivized for shopping with them. They also host a bi-monthly giveaway – this month it is a legend boho necklace. But best part? Through June 15th you can save 10% at checkout with the code "deidreemme" on orders over 19 euros – oh, did I mention they are a European company, which I think makes them that much more unique for all of you looking for something different than everyone else! What do you think about statement necklaces? Do you see any you love over at Happiness Boutique?

When the kernel can be in real mode in early boot, we can execute from high addresses aliased to the kernel's physical memory. If that high address has the first two bits set to 1 (0xc...), those addresses will automatically become part of the direct map. This does two useful things for us: it reduces page table pressure from the kernel and it sets up the kernel to be used with radix translation, for which it has to be up here. From an architectural perspective, the mechanism that allows this will also be useful for Book-E (which there is a chance I have broken horribly with this patch), as it in principle allows all of the first-stage boot code involving the MMU in booke/locore.S to be removed and replaced with a much shorter C version that allows more complicated situations (larger kernels, for example).
This is accomplished by exploiting the fact that all PowerPC kernels are built as position-independent executables and relocate themselves on start. Before this patch, the kernel runs at 1:1 VA:PA, but that VA/PA is random and set by the bootloader. Very early, it processes its ELF relocations to operate wherever it happens to find itself. This patch calls a new early function, aim_early_init(), from near the beginning of powerpc_init(). (This function has access to all kernel services set up by that time, including all globals at their normal addresses.) It checks if the kernel is in the right place and should be moved to high memory. If so, it calls __start() a second time at a high aliased address. The ELF relocations are then processed a second time at the high aliased address, transparently relinking the kernel in high memory. The second time around, aim_early_init() returns normally and powerpc_init() continues as before.
Tested on pSeries (PowerKVM), Apple G5 (change is a no-op because the kernel is in virtual mode early and cannot use aliased addresses), PS3, and PowerNV (QEMU). The interesting parts of the patch are in aim_machdep.c, machdep.c, and locore64.S. The remainder of the patch consists of fixes to latent bugs in other code brought to the fore by this change.

There are generally two sectors in economy Viz public and private. Apart from difference in the controlling authority these sectors vary in their functional aspect to a varied level. While as private sector maintains a good but specialist cadre of employees the public sector faces crisis in the right selection. As far as private sector is concerned, cadres are selected through a special drive where excellence matters a lot. Usually applications are attached with all the necessary documents including experience and special skill. There hardly occurs any corruption in the lower rung employees selection due to strict standards of employment committee of private establishment. The excellence matters and the attitude of candidates towards a given job is enquired while one faces the interview board. A candidate is quizzed on the prospect , aim ,strategy ,skill , experience for a particular position. Like in case of IT companies a well dressed candidate with good outlook will always be enquired about IT related matters. And the result is continuous increase in purchasing powers and the revenue of company. To a slightly perverted manner ,public sector candidate is selected in a nip and tuck pattern but with some unintentional errors and illegal incursions in recruitment process. For all the posts ranging from peon to secretary at state level or at central level a rigorous three to two stage process of examination is conducted. Written exam is followed on by personality test what is termed in common language as Interview. In the contemporary style of Board attitude this stage is evolving as cumbersome for most of the talented youth.
The recruitment board after completion of initial formalities announces syllabus for written test. Thereafter a committee sets the paper in accordance with this prescribed syllabus. At times out of syllabus questions are posted but the overall assessment has been satisfactory. Now the error of official key at times is encountered most often. Since all these can be sorted out through face to face clarification like revised key after report of candidates to rectify any error. Hence the stage isn't critical for committed applicants who toil hard for the passage. When the quota is eked out from whooping applicants they are rule bound to appear before an interview panel. This stage is evolving cumbersome for some if not majority of talented candidates. This stage is vulnerable to corruption from administrative and political angle. Herein political leaders try to bargain for future votes and to get the cadres of same political lineage selected. While on the other hand the Interview as a stage is violative of selection norm due to some reasons. Literally interview means face to face meet for assessment of candidate for a job. The assessment in today's board isn't in sync with knowledge of applicants. Herein the mentioning of without syllabus stage is must. Interview board isn't bound by any syllabus periphery in the room. They are usually seen roaming from one area to other. Like a candidate is posed a puzzle to solve North Korea dispute which seems a herculean task for great diplomats as well. 2ndly the interview panel isn't bound by the nature of post. Like a candidate to be selected for agriculture department is quizzed about Computers. A recruit for Police is supposed to answer the agricultural queries. These questions harm the normal connection of position and holder. A police applicant is better to be enquired about laws, constitution, defence equipments, defence strategy , role of science in defence, spying and intelligence etc.
Apart from these situations an applicant is supposed to face the high knowledgeable personalities. Although it's not in violation of norms or it's not related to candidates failure but the unintentional failure of panel members to down their level impacts the genuine candidates performance. Like a horticulture aspirant is asked the scientific name of unknown fruit if the member possess Botany background. Once the history background member sits in the panel candidates are facing an acute sense of Depression in their mind because their background hardly matters. All this in place the new strategy of panel to ask candidate some untoward and irrelevant queries impacts the bright future. The fairy past tales and the conventional face off is over. Nowadays an applicant after entry is ambushed with local tale queries. Like the interviewer in writers case asked about Heemal Nagrai story only because mothers name read Heemal for member. Is this attitude permissible? Doesn't this impacts the overall performance of candidate? To ask for choice of shirt colour , suit colour , shoes and much more like entertainment favourites is in clear violation to recruitment norms. No doubt panel holds the discretion to assess the candidates ability but what ability can be assessed through query of why red colour shirt! Why train travel why not bus or aeroplane? Although these things are normal for reply but the rhythm of applicant gets disturbed on hearing such exceptional queries. Once an interview panel posed writer a query " Who's your favourite mode in india? Twitter replied Arundhati Roy for which the member countered I am asking for Model ,model means actress ! Does model mean actress? These nip and tuck questions disturbs the normal balance of in person candidate making it difficult for him to answer even known questions in reply. There a lot of knowledgeable personalities in our societies roaming hither and thither even after qualifying mains written of JKPSC and UPSC not to talk of JKSSB. Is interview a stage to assess? Are interviewers real assessment managers? Isn't syllabus a mandatory norm for interview like written exam?
Conclusion of this discussion leads one to state that " Before board acts see where did they stand" . A commissioner secretary as panel member for a lecturer has to act as academician not an administrative person. A history background member has to contain the push of his knowledge within limits while posing questions for agriculture department or engineering department post. It's only when these errors are fixed that a good and worthy talent can be routed to public sector. A flourishing private sector isn't due to any other standard pillar of capital , entrepreneur and land but due to toil and energy of talented army of cadres selected through unbiased manner strictly as per nature of job. Central government has taken a good decision to scrap this notorious stage for majority of posts but the onus lies on those who sit in the panel to act as per real situation rather than ideal nature of world. A man who is going to draw a meagre salary of 10000 isn't expected to evolve as Superman . Everything in present context an interview panel should do is to provide a good and smiling environment for candidate to prove himself. There's no need to pose stress occurring irrelevant queries which disturb the Mental balance of person. Only after providing the applicant a favourable atmosphere inside four corners of room can a candidate slowly and steadily express who really is he. It's unworthy to create such a horrific and tense situation where a candidate awaits exit from room rather than caring for selection. Only after revolving round syllabus, background of candidate, nature of job ,country related basics can genuine candidates get fair trial to crack this stage. Otherwise some research scholars at times are eroded of their future due to erratic behaviour of numerous such panel members and eventual dropping in final selection. Let's hope the intellectuals in charge of such functions make their fruitful use for candidate as well as for department.

This kid is growing up rapidly now. At least on an intellectual level. He's saying several more words this month and definitely understands us much better now. He follows simple commands like bringing us an object (like a clean diaper). He mimicks everything we do! He tears off toilet paper and hands it to me when we are in the bathroom, he wipes Levi's face / head after he kisses him sometimes because Tru always slobbers on Levi and we are always having to wipe it off. He even grabbed the bulb syringe and tried to stick it up Levi's nose yesterday. He really wants to help wipe Levi's butt and fold up the dirty diaper. He knows exactly how I do things around the house and I joke that I could just leave Tru in charge instead of DH since Tru knows how I want things done. It's pretty cute. 🙂
New words I've started hearing daily:
– doggy but pronounced "goggy"
– cookie pronounced a lot like doggy but definitely a different word
– eat!!! Which means he wants food and NOW!!
– ball
– shoe and socks are also called shoe 😉
There are others but I can't think right now.
We've moved Tru's bedtime from 9pm to 8:30pm so we can get the day winding down sooner. We tried in the past and he would have none of it but now he is perfectly fine with it. The one downside is that he usually won't sleep until 10am anymore. But that wasn't bound to last much longer anyways. Naps are back to normal after a brief attempt by Tru to stop taking naps. He couldn't handle it after a few days and the naps resumed. Usually 1-2 hours in the afternoon.
Still drinking breast milk and very adamant about wanting it. When he sees me pump he cries for a baba. I've caught him trying to breast pump his belly button a time or two when I left the pump in his reach. I usually give him about 6+ ounces a day. When he was cutting teeth a couple weeks ago he went several days without eating much at all. During that time I let him have upwards of 20 ounces of breast milk a day. He did well with it but his poo started to turn orange similar to newborn poo. I'm glad he's back to eating again. 🙂
Side note, as I'm typing this I just looked over to see Tru reading himself his "5 Little Monkeys Jumping On The Bed" book (he loves books) and grabbing his head. Because the monkeys in the book fall off the bed and bump their heads. He's so funny! And smart that he knows which book he's reading and what it means to bump his head even though he can't say those words. My kid is smart!! 🙂 Ok , I'll stop bragging now. 😉
We bought Tru a sand box last weekend and he has played in it a few times. He loves it even though he was afraid to climb in at first. He LOVES to be outside and cries pretty much every time we come in again. I feel bad that I don't take him out more than I do but it's a lot of work chasing him around while carrying Levi. I want to get a double stroller so we can take walks. They're expensive though! This year I am hoping to buy the wood and have my dad assemble a swing set for the boys like the one I had as a kid. It was so fun and I want them to have that too. I also want to get a small kiddie pool for this summer so Tru can stay cool outside and have fun splashing around.
I'm really looking forward to taking Tru swimming in the big pool at my aunt's house. He loved it the one time we went last year.
Tantrums are a real thing y'all. But we are working on that bit of behavior. Tru is very strong spirited (a good thing although hard at this age) and wants to do everything on his own which isn't safe or even possible when you're 1 and a half. He has refused to eat before because: we were having tacos and eating in the car so we were trying help him eat his with less mess. Screaming fit! He didn't let us feed him until a solid half hour later. Another time, my sister gave him half of a hamburger since he's really too little to eat a whole one. Well, since it was a half he screamed and cried, threw it down and wouldn't eat until later. It was kind of funny but also aggravating. The things that make a toddler cry!
Tru has been playing with his cousins more lately and while they all grab toys from each other and cry and fuss (they are ages almost 4,3,2 and 1 lol) I noticed last time they played that Tru seemed to be getting a bit of an idea about sharing. Not saying that it made him happy but at least he figured it out a bit. 🙂
He's definitely your typical boy! He laughs every time he or Levi farts. Every stick is automatically a gun (I really don't know how he figured that out. I guess because he's seen Bonanza? He "shoots" it then he falls down.). All things that look like cars, can be pushed like cars, or he is pretending is a car automatically have engines. He makes deep growly sounds a lot when he's reading books. He loves to wrestle daddy but hugs me and puts his arms around my back to pat my back. Levi and I get hugs and kisses all day. Levi gets no less that 20 kisses a day from Tru and that's a low estimate! I love it that Tru is a loving big brother. 🙂
Dear God, thank You so much for Truett's sweet, loving heart. Thank You for his strong spirit and I ask that You will help us to shape him gently into the boy and man that You want him to be. Please watch over and protect him. In Jesus' name, amen.

Chatham-Savannah Authority for the Homeless has beefed up outreach efforts ahead of Hurricane Irma, after Hurricane Matthew left some individuals stranded in high floodwater last year.
Chatham-Savannah Authority for the Homeless executive director Cindy Murphy Kelley said Friday that teams had gone out to the area's homeless camps, distributing fliers with information about the storm and the evacuation, which begins Saturday. She said they planned "to be a bit tougher with folks," stressing the danger of the storm.
The authority did go around to the camps before Matthew, but some people didn't get the message or didn't realize how bad the storm would be.
Many homeless camps around Savannah are in particularly flood-prone areas, low-lying ground beneath underpasses and near canals that can overflow with storm surge.
During Matthew, Daisy Day and her boyfriend "almost floated down the river," she said. They did watch most of their belongings float away.
In the same camp in West Savannah, the tropical storm-force winds knocked a tree onto the tent where Tommy Newsome was sleeping. He survived, but had to cut his way out. Afterward, he was in water up to his neck, he said.
Newsome said he knew the storm was coming, "but I didn't think was going to be that bad." In about four and a half years living outside in Savannah, he said he had never seen a storm that bad.
Less than a year after Matthew hit, that is certainly not the case for much of the area's homeless population.
Murphy Kelley said as her staff has visited camps, people have told them they remember Matthew and remember they can go to the Savannah Civic Center. That's where buses will depart beginning Saturday, carrying evacuees to Augusta shelters.
Many homeless people have cell phones and have been monitoring Hurricane Irma, Murphy Kelley said, just like other coastal residents. The general feeling for most, she said, is "here we go again."

Organic Consumers posted this a while back (I'm sooo far behind in emails). Financially supporting the companies that truly have the best interests of their consumers at heart is the best way to go. Well, that and labeling our food.
Read the note on Kashi's using genetically engineered soy in their "organic" products. It is such a cop-out to claim pollination was the reason the soy was GMO–an easy way to escape accountability. Instead of fighting GMO labeling, they should be fighting against Monsanto and the others involved in genetically modified food. This food is highly likely involved in leaky gut, as the body cannot recognize the grain anymore, and treats it as a foreign substance and that leads to gut inflammation and eventually leaky gut.
A link here to eye problems and leaky gut and GMO's. Very interesting. My eyes have begun to improve–I was using 1.50 readers and now am able to use the 1.25 magnification. I'm also able to distinguish fine degrees of color, and I had lost some of my ability to determine colors. I know this by my embroidery thread that I used for counted cross-stitch–the thread is numbered and has very minute distinctions, and it was difficult for me to separate them by color. I grew so frustrated at it that I just put them all in one bag, unable to organize them. This began to change when I started to detox.
Here's a good opinion on the GMO's.
More here on the global effort to get GMO's labeled.
A debate between a professor and a neoliberal. (hat tip to organic consumers).
Lastly, I really wonder about the exposure even if you're not eating GMO foods (or at least trying not to by buying organic). I say this because every year, around late July, I begin to have more severe allergy symptoms, culminating in September, when I usually have headaches several days out of the month (this has been after mercury poisoning–at least, that's when I first noticed it). I found a link here on the increase in allergies and GMO's.
Here is a paper that must have been written by a Monsanto toadie, it is so slanted towards GMO's and gives very little attention or support for research towards health concerns. This is what I was seeing when I was a student in college and I took a class in science writing: they had a forum at this strongly agricultural school on GMO's when they were first being introduced in 1997-98 (only we found out later that they had been unleashed onto the unsuspecting public earlier.)
A good blog here on GMO.
Related to this is an stunning affirmation of those in power that amalgams are safe. Just stunning. Absolutely stunning. (hat tip to organic consumers). It just goes to show that Washington is bought by those whose interests don't include the health and well being of the public, but of who has the $$$ to fund their campaigns.
And my previous blog with this on how not only mercury affects us, but the animals, as well. My other blogs on it here and here.
And I'm finished. So much for catching up on my emails. 😛

Crazy D's Soda Labs is a new Toronto-based prebiotic drink company offering super delicious sodas that are organic, vegan and keto. This "soda without the guilt" contains no added sugar, caffeine, preservatives, colours or flavours. Think of Crazy D's as a sister beverage to kombucha, only with MORE health benefits, including a prebiotic ingredient that helps with nutrient absorption, improves digestion, increases immune function, lowers cholesterol levels, decreases inflammation, results in a better hormonal balance and lowers the risk of obesity and weight gain. Handcrafted in Toronto, Crazy D's is now available across Canada online and in over a hundred retailers.
Not only does Crazy D's have a commitment to giving the gift of good health, but they are also focused on a brighter and better future for children through their support of children's charities, such as Lonny's Smile, Camp Winston and The Robbie. An integral force behind this honourable company is Tamara Doerksen, who takes care of Crazy D's Business Development and drives their Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy.
We caught up with her this week.
SDTC: How were you introduced to this company, and what hooked you?
I was introduced to our Crazy D's concept on July 27, 2016. My business partner Darren Portelli and I had been working together in the film industry, and he had mentioned a few times that he was creating a soda. I didn't think much of it, because he's a serial innovator. Then one day he said, "How about we make sodas instead of movies? Come over and try some samples." As soon as I did, I was hooked. And because Darren only commits when he can see a clear line to success, I jumped in with both feet and haven't looked back.
What was your background before this?
I have an eclectic background. After a short stint in sports marketing, I went on to have a career in the professional services industry working for KPMG where I held a senior leadership position in the technology area. KPMG's Community Leader Strategy was an inspiration for launching my children's charity, Lonny's Smile Foundation, which honours the memory of my little brother and sends children with congenital heart disease to summer camp.
Murray Foster from Great Big Sea and Moxy Früvous hosted a couple of our fundraising concerts for Lonny's Smile. He was working on his first feature film and asked me to be an Executive Producer and raise the funds needed. Darren was the movie's producer. After the film wrapped, he asked me to join his production company Spiral Entertainment. Then he created a soda, and the rest is history!
Can you share with us a little about what happens in the lab? We picture chemistry experiments and lots of test tubes.
It's definitely a mad lab scientist kind of place! A significant amount of R&D goes into making sodas that taste good and are good for you. Crazy D's is a functional beverage, which means the ingredients we use—including the prebiotic root veggies—provide multiple health benefits. It has no added sugar and is all natural, organic, vegan, gluten-free and has no artificial flavours, colours, preservatives or caffeine. To achieve all of that in a beverage takes a lot of test tubes, experimentation, and occasionally an exploding bottle! It also takes a mad scientist, and that's where Darren comes in.
What's the most fascinating discovery you've made since beginning to work for Crazy D's?
I have been astounded by the transformation of our prebiotic sodas on Darren's health. He's had mental health issues all of his life, and when I met him he was on a substantial amount of medication. He had developed a very unique way of eating (dairy-free bulletproof coffee, anyone?) and had a very healthy lifestyle, but as he consumed the prebiotic sodas, he was able to slowly taper himself off of his medications. Now he's medication-free and healthier than he's ever been.
The other revelation is that we spend a lot of time focusing on our physical health—working out and watching our diet—but we don't give our brain health the same attention. And ultimately, that's the lynch pin to our overall health and longevity.
You are responsible for the Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy. What does that mean?
It's about building partnerships with non-profit organizations that are aligned with our mission. We believe that businesses can and should have a positive impact on the communities they serve. One of my favourite quotes is from Winston Churchill: "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."
As the sister of a child with a congenital heart defect, and through my strong relationships and collaborations with medical professionals, patients and their parents, I've seen the importance of nutrition, mental health and physical activity. Demonstrating commitment to the health and well-being of youth by working with kids-related charities was very important to me personally and to Crazy D's. The local charities we support are aligned with the health benefits of our sodas and our vision for a better future for children. Lonny's Smile provides kids with congenital heart disease with the life-changing opportunity to go to summer camp. Camp Winston provides this same opportunity for kids with complex neurological disorders. The Robbie, which is the world's largest annual charitable youth soccer tournament, is in support of Cystic Fibrosis Canada.
Why do you believe in this company?
I believe in Crazy D's because I've seen first-hand the difference its made in Darren's life and in the lives of our customers. When you hear people at markets, product demos or online talking about how the sodas helped them kick their sugary soda habit or literally changed their life, that's extremely gratifying.
Getting a company off the ground and growing it can be a pretty tough slog some days, especially when you're breaking new ground, introducing a new product category, and educating customers on something like prebiotics. But when you believe in the product and the people you're making it for, it's so worthwhile.
Crazy D's started in farmer's markets, and now you're retailing in over a hundred locations! Why do you think the growth has been so phenomenal?
It's two-fold. People have tried it, liked it, experienced the health benefits, and as a result the demand is growing exponentially. It's also because Darren is a warrior going out to do product demos all across Ontario. When introducing a new product category into the marketplace, you need to educate the public on it, and it's challenging to do that when it's sitting on a shelf surrounded by other beverages. There is only so much information you can include on a product label. You need to get out there and talk to people—explain what prebiotics are (the water and fertilizer to probiotics, which are the seed!), talk about the health benefits, and let them try it for themselves.
When should we drink Crazy D's, and what flavours are jumping off the shelves this summer?
Every day! In addition to stimulating the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, higher intake of prebiotics are linked to a ton of benefits, including lower risk for cardiovascular disease, healthier cholesterol levels, lower inflammation higher immune function and more. Consuming them daily can provide significant health benefits.
In terms of flavours, it depends where you live! In general "Ginga' Kick" (ginger, lemon, lime, vanilla, cinnamon and turmeric) is a fan favourite, but Ottawa loves "Rockin' Rolla Cherry Cola" (tart and sweet cherries, cinnamon, coriander, nutmeg, lemon, lime, gum acacia and essential oils.), and London's crazy about "Twisted Citrus" (lemon, lime, baobab and camu camu).
Are you noticing a trend in non-alcoholic offerings at the moment?
Yes! Baby Boomers are now seeking out ways to increase their vitality and are more inclined to seek beverages with health benefits. On the other end of the spectrum, millennials are more aware of health and wellness than previous generations. They want choices and transparency in their products. This trend will only continue to grow with heightened awareness of ingredients that are detrimental to our health. Consumers are turning to products using natural ingredients they can trust.
The global craft soda market size is also on the rise as consumers are shifting from sugar-laden drinks to low-sugar beverages, as well as choosing craft soda as a substitute for alcoholic beverages. Alcohol sales in the US fell by 80 million litres last year. Crazy D's sodas uniquely address all of these market trends and more, and in a way that makes you feel great!
As someone in charge of business development, what's a lesson you learned along the way that helps steer your work?
First, it's all about relationships—with our customers, the organizations we partner with, and any others we collaborate with. To be successful and sustainable, you need to develop mutually beneficial, respectful relationships. Of course, we're here to do business, but it's not all about what you can gain from a relationship; it's about what you can contribute.
A second lesson I'll share comes from a small football statue on my desk that says, "If you don't pick up the ball and run with it, someone else will!" To gain first-mover advantage in the market with a new product category, you have to hustle!

She silently nodded her head still sniffing and tears were nowhere to stop from falling. He wipes them. Made her lie down patting her head slowly. Her hand moves to her stomach feeling a little life inside her and tears again rolled down. Vicky heart ached to see her condition but he also know nothing can change her but only her maan. The tiredness, dosage, crying made her sleep in a deep sleep with her teary eyes. Vicky finds her sleeping so kiss her forehead. Stood and went out only to find Adi sitting in a chair. He stood seeing him and hugs him immediately. He knows how. He will need this moment.
Adi made Vicky sit in a chair sitting beside him.Kuch samajh nahi aa raha kya karu Adi. Adi keep his hand on Vicky shoulder. He know what must be he going through, how much difficult it must be to him. Vicky told him about geet being pregnant and asking for maan again and again. Adi can't do anything but prayed silently for maan safety. This family is ruining in just days due to his absence. Hope he come back safe and sound and holds on everything.
It was late when Adi suggested. Vicky, you should go home now. Vicky looks at him. Home? How can I leave Bhabhi Adi?
There are doctors with her Vicky. But don't forget your family is alone there.
My family? She is also my family Adi. And she needs me now.
But your mother and sister also needs you Vicky. He didn't say anything but just look down. Go Vicky. Tell your mom everything, you will feel much better.
Vicky thought for some time and thought it to be right. He also wants someone's shoulder. His mom can only support and make him feel little better. They need him and he also needs his mother this moment a lot. Visiting geet for the last time he went to mansion and told mom and Annie everything about maan and geet. Somewhere he felt much better talking to them. They stayed together and prayed for maan.
But in these whole things only one person was left alone, there was no one for her, no one with whom she can share her feelings, a tear escaped from her eyes twinkling in the dark room. When everyone slept this late night having a very peacefully sleep but she can't have that.
She knows Vicky went home, she know they must be sleeping this hour no matter how much sad they are but still they have someone with them. Mom have her children to whom she can find love, Vicky and Annie can clung and sleep in the warmth of their mother and find peace.
But she, she doesn't have anyone. There is no one to hold her and Console her, that maan will be back. He will come back and will hold her close to him. She curled up sobbing hard than touch her stomach. She can't even be happy, how cans she? How will she raise their child alone? What will she say to their baby?
She cried holding her mouth to stop the whimpers, and called him millions time to come back to her and their baby. They really need him.
Vicky entered the hospital next morning. Geet is going to be discharge; he signed all the formalities and enters her room to find looking out of window. There were no tears on her tears, she was not even crying but he can see the dark circles and her pale face which clearly shows she cried a lot. Bhabhi. She come out of her thoughts and looks at him blinking few times to come in present. We have to go home. She simply nodded and stood up.
He made her sit in car and sat besides her ordering the driver to take them to mansion. He looks at her, she turn toward the window starring outside but he clearly knows the turmoil she is fighting with now.
His phone ring, hello.
Vicky listens carefully… I got maan. Some detective called me told me everything.
Vicky heart thudded loudly hearing maan name and glance at geet. He was shot and is in hospital. I need you here now. Will tell everything. But don't tell geet about him now ok.
He hears what Adi says him from other side and his breath stops. Glancing at geet he makes sure she is not looking or she may understand the fear in his eyes. I will be there soon. He disconnects the call, but his heart didn't stopped throbbing a loud with the new information Adi have given him. He can't tell her this, no he really can't tell. Don't know how maan will be? Don't know will geet be able to see him in hospital being shot. God knows how he is and what's going on there. He should keep silence in front of her now and first visit maan.
Geet hear Vicky call ringing but somewhere she hoped silently whoever it is should give any information of maan. but Vicky silence after the call cleared her it was no one calling for maan so she just keep her head on window .this was all so suffocating her and this moment she only need him to hold her really tight and she can cry all her heart out. She know everyone is in tension so didn't want anyone to see her in this state. Sitting silently she just kept praying for him.
Precap: he stood in front of lifeless MAAN SINGH KHURANA.

Protein supplementation - is it really necessary?
By Lauren Jones (APD/AN/Accredited Sports Dietitian)
Protein is definitely the most talked about nutrient when it comes to exercise and strength and resistance training but does more protein really result in increased strength and muscle mass and is protein supplementation actually beneficial to everyone? Protein is a macronutrient found in foods such as red meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, nuts, tofu and legumes but is becoming increasingly popular in the form of formulated drinks, bars and powders. There is now an increased interest in protein supplementation and its role in muscle growth and repair especially among the athlete population however studies show that it certainly isn't essential for everyone.
Who needs extra protein?
Endurance athletes in heavy training, athletes attempting to gain muscle mass and strength and conditioning athletes in initial stages of training will have increased protein requirements higher than that of the general non-exercising population. The current recommendations are 0.24g/kg of body mass of high biological value protein per meal. Most athletes will easily achieve their daily protein targets through dietary intake alone without the need for protein supplementation. A well thought out meal plan with adequate quantities of protein and correct distribution throughout the day is sufficient to meet the needs of an athlete in training. Additional supplementation is however indicated for athletes following a vegetarian or vegan diet/those not consuming dairy foods.
Protein doses – is more really better?
Optimum protein requirements depend on the individuals' body size and training program. Research suggests that every time 20-25g of high biological value protein is consumed there is a small spike in muscle synthesis (growth), however eating quantities in excess of this amount offers no further benefit. The timing and amount of protein consumed throughout the day is therefore most beneficial for gains in muscle mass as regular protein based meals and snacks will result in multiple spikes in protein synthesis over the duration of the day. Resistance training sessions increase the sensitivity of muscles to the uptake of protein so eating protein in the hour following exercise can help to prolong the protein synthesis in response to exercise helping to promote gains and minimize muscle breakdown (losses).
The bottom line…
The decision to use a protein supplement should be based on several issues relevant to the individual, including their training load, goals, daily energy requirements, typical diet, appetite post-exercise, budget available and general dietary intake. Talking with an Accredited Sports Dietitian can help to establish if the use of a protein supplement is necessary. Make an appointment to come and speak to one of our sports dietitians today for advice on optimizing your training outcomes and performance through dietary modification.

My children have always enjoyed the great outdoors: ice creams in the summer, kicking leaves in the autumn, jumping in puddles during the winter and seeing the wildlife around them in the spring. Both my daughter and son have belonged to the Rainbows, Brownies, Beavers and Cubs where they have enjoyed taking part in activities such as night hikes, camping, fishing and treasure hunting. Most recently they took part in a bat walk which caused much excitement exploring their surroundings in the dark!
Happily, there are some great gifts and ideas to support any child who enjoys being at one with nature.

3. Binoculars – discovering the great outdoors in detail
Any self-respecting outdoorsman/woman needs a good pair of binoculars to hand at all times. Spotting wildlife or keeping an eye on the 'enemy', binoculars are an essential item. There is a huge array on offer so make sure you get a pair that are age appropriate and decent quality. We like the Scott Malone Shock Proof 8x30 Kids Binoculars for younger children at around £10.00. For the older child the Olympus Binocular 7x35 DPS-1 are rugged, compact and well made and retail for around £45.00

6. Vtech Kidizoom Action Cam (Gopro for kids)
Something slightly more high tech to use in the great outdoors, The VTech 170703 KidiZoom Action Cam is very durable and easy to use. A great introduction to creating outdoor action films and photography. This rather cute youtube review from superDIZZEEkids Club tells you everything you need to know.
7. Metal Detector
There comes a time in every rightly-constructed boy's life when he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure. – Mark Twain, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
If this doesn't excite children to get outdoors then I don't know what will! The Bounty Hunter Junior metal detector is designed for children but definitely isn't a toy. It's a very capable detector yet only weighs a little over half a kilo. This means that children as young as six years old will easily be able to use and enjoy it.

World History Development of Civilization Term Paper

for $19.77
Twentieth Century History
Need opening and over all summary of this Era of conflict:
In order to understand how the world of 2005 came about, it is necessary to consider the effects of World War I and II, the Cold War, and the changes modern technological warfare has had on the political structure, the impact of nationalism, and the world of new options and opportunities for individual nations.
During the post World War I era of the 1920's and the depression of the 1930's, the west had divided into three camps: the capitalist democracies, the fascists and the authoritarian nations of central and Eastern Europe, and the communist Soviet Union. By 1941, all three camps-along with much of the rest of the world-had again been pulled into a violent vortex of unprecedented destruction.
Fifty million people were killed during World War II, more of them civilian than soldiers. These losses represented an upset to the balances of power that had been in place for about two hundred years. Furthermore, at the end of the war, millions of Europeans had no where to go, no homes to live in, and the nations needed rebuilding from the ground up. This was especially bad for people whose homelands were overrun by the Soviets and being forced into the Communist dictatorship of Stalin.
World War II witnessed the introduction of devastating new weaponry-jet planes, rockets, and the infamous atomic bomb. Allied fire bombings of German and Japanese cities caused hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths, and soldiers by often deliberately targeting women and children made the experience of war all the more vicious. At the end of the war, Nazi death camps were reveled as the settings of unimaginable brutality and inhumanity.
Western and non-Western societies faced the overwhelming task to recover from the devastation of the war and to regain a sense of order. The road ahead looked hard and rumblings of national revolutions had already appeared. All these developments were unfolding under the shadow of a sobering new realization: that modern warfare truly had the potential to engulf and obliterate the entire world. For this paper we will discuss the influences of the major events, and their outcomes had on the development of current western civilization.
Part II: Major Events of the mid Twentieth Century
It has often been noted that WWII started at the Paris negation table that closed out WWI. Conditions in Europe after the Paris peace settlement, coupled with aggressive, totalitarian nationalism were major factors contributing to the outbreak of World War II. Real and perceived injustices, the collapse of the concept of collective security, as well as indecisive national policies represent additional factors. The Nazi Party played on damaged national pride and terrible socioeconomic problems to gain control of Germany and led the world into its second war in less than fifty years.
The Great Depression was probably a driving force in decisions to go to war, particularly in Germany. If nothing else, drumming up a war took people's mind off the financial situation and by the mid-1930s, the postwar hope for peace sponsored by the newly formed League of Nations had collapsed, as Japan invaded Manchuria (1931) and Italy attacked Ethiopia (1935), and Nazi Germany was beginning its program of military expansion.
The two major Fascist leaders went on to support the rebels during the Spanish Civil War of the late 1930s. Germany and Italy used the Spanish Civil War as a training ground for their soldiers and testing ground for the latest in war machines.
In1939, the German-Russian pact sealed Poland's fate and began a war that lasted six years, spanned three continents, all the oceans, and involved most of the nations of the world. From the invasion of Poland in September, 1939, to the collapse of France in the summer of 1940, the Germans experienced complete military success.
By May, 1945, the war was over in Europe, and two nuclear attacks brought Japanese surrender in August of that year. The second "Great" war of this century was over, and with it European domination of the planet came to an end. In the power vacuum thus created, the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics moved from a reluctant wartime partnership to being deadly adversaries. It is this postwar juxtaposition of global "superpowers" that emerged as the dominant factor of the Western state system for nearly 50 years.
While what is known as the "Cold War" effectively dominated global events until the late 1980s, there were many forces at work that had a much more direct influence on the situation in the world today. Between WWI and WWII, most of the old monarchies of Europe, both eastern and western, were gone. They were replaced either by the rule of the communists of the Soviet Union or some form of elective democracy.
After WWII, most of the European states withdrew from their colonial territories. The process was rarely a smooth one, and residual bitterness still remains. When Great Britain pulled out of the Indian subcontinent, several rival states formed along religious lines. The French resistance to decolonization led to a vicious war in North Africa and led to two armed conflicts in Viet Nam, one in which the French were the primary antagonist and one in which the United States carried the greatest burden. The war in Viet Nam was publicized as a struggle against communism, but in many respects it was a continuation of the French refusal to pull out of Indochina.
At the same time French were fighting the war in Algeria and in Indochina, there was a conflict going on that still holds center stage in world politics and that is the conflict over Palestine and the establishment of the Jewish state of Israel. From the very first, when the U.N. resolution was passed in 1947, there has been almost constant fighting over the land and its division. There has been no willingness on the part of the Arab nations to accept the separate land of Israel and its existence is at the basis of much of the constant turmoil in that part of the world today. Not only is there overt fighting, but much of the terrorism in today's world is based out of the Arab countries and is founded on Islam's determination to rid the Holy Lands, Palestine and Saudi Arabia especially, of "infidels." Of course, the U.S. And other nations are determined that Islam won't win because of the oil riches of that part of the world.
France and West Germany resolved long-standing differences and launched the institutions that eventually became the Common Market (later called the European Economic Community or simply the European Community) and the European Union. Nearly all western European countries belong to these organizations today, and many reorganized post-communist regimes in Eastern Europe are seeking and obtaining membership. These organizations are important on the world scene today because of their influence on world trade.
There are those Americans who think to claim credit to the U.S. For the dissolution of the Soviet Union, but the truth is closer to the fact that it collapsed from its own weight in poor governance and blind focus on some pie-in-the-sky world dominance idea instead of taking care of their nation. The collapse is an important feature of today's world because of the shifts caused in trade and power.
By the end of WWII, most of Germany and Japan's physical and industrial strength and infrastructure was destroyed. This is another factor where the war of 50 years ago impacts the world of today. The allies, led by the United States provided money and technology to rebuild these two former enemies. In consequence, Germany and Japan had the latest in such industries as steel production where as, the allies, particularly the Americans were producing steel in plants that were fifty to seventy-five years old. This has had an economic impact on the U.S.
Part III (at least 2-3 pages)
In the pre-WWI world of Europe, Russia and the Far, and Middle East, most political structures were formed around old monarchies. Some, as in Germany had systems along the lines of the British monarchy where there were also elective bodies that made law and policy and some where pretty much old-fashion, the King was absolute ruler monarchies. As stated earlier, by the end of WWII these forms of government mostly no longer existed.
In Eastern Europe and all of the territory claimed by the Soviet Union, communism was forced on populations. Communism was originally conceived as a form of government that would remove the inequalities between people. Its original idea was to provide for every citizen regardless of ability. There was not to be social stratification. The land would be owned by all, there would especially be an end to privileged classes that lived off the work of others. Of course, history has shown that this face of Communism never appeared. Communism, as we know it, was more repressive and authoritarian… [END OF PREVIEW]

Hawke Robinson
Note: A few important items were left out of this week's episode that Hawke wanted to make sure were included. First, every person's experience is different just as we are all different. A person's biological and medicinal history has an impact on treatment and should be considered in the grand scale of therapy. Second, there are a variety of resources all over the country that are using RPG type games in recreational therapy. A few that were shared with me include the Wheelhouse Workshop and Bodhana Group, but if you are interested in pursuing such therapy run a Google search to see what you may be able to find near you.
Hawke is the founder and president of RPG Therapeutics LLC, and is registered with the Washington State Department of Health as a Recreational Therapist. He's currently working toward being a nationally certified therapeutic recreation specialist.
RPG Therapeutics LLC provides research, education, and therapeutic services, utilizing music and role-playing games in all formats including tabletop, live-action, solo, and computer-based. Involved with RPGs since 1979, the founder of RPG Therapeutics LLC first began developing and using role-playing games (RPGs) in educational settings in 1985, and has been developing programs using RPGs to achieve therapeutic goals for clients since 2004.
During our conversation, Hawke and I spoke about how RPGs can be used for therapy, and who, based on his research, is most likely to find growth through gaming. We also spoke about suicide, depression, bi-polar disorder, and how stigma isn't just exclusive to mental illness. Instead, stigma exists around anything that people don't understand or are afraid of… like Dungeons and Dragons.
If you'd like to learn more about Hawke and his research you can find him at his company's website as well as any of the below links.

John Hughes with 'Finger-Blasting': "The To Do List" not a total score but enough dirty fun
The To Do List (2013)
103 min., rated R.
There's something less smarmy and more liberating about the idea of girls thinking about sex as much as the guys—and one-upping them on the humiliation scale when going on their sexual journey. The writing-directing feature debut of short and documentary filmmaker Maggie Carey, "The To Do List," a cheerfully risqué R-rated teen sex comedy, like the 1999 summer sleeper hit "American Pie," luckily hits that sweet spot between good-natured and raunchy. It has the spirit of a John Hughes film but with "finger-blasting, -bombing, and -banging," and, without a doubt, should embarrass curious teens who make the poor decision of dragging their parents along.
The sardonic Aubrey Plaza is such an original presence, having her deadpan, awkward comedic shtick down pat but also capable of carrying an indie charmer like 2012's "Safety Not Guaranteed" and owning her supporting role on NBC's "Parks and Recreation." Here, she trades her sarcasm for gullibility and inexperience as Brandy Klark, a bookish 18-year-old goody-goody who's just graduated high school as the class valedictorian in 1993, Boise, Idaho. Dragged to a kegger and then setting her eyes on chiseled, surfer-haired college stud Rusty Waters (Scott Porter), she pledges to take charge of her sexuality and lose her V-card before heading off to Georgetown University. So, with some tips from her two best friends, Fiona (Alia Shawkat) and Wendy (Sarah Steele), and mocking, much-experienced older sister Amber (Rachel Bilson), Brandy makes a list in her trapper-keeper of all the sexual deeds she intends to check off before getting laid by her crush. Being around Rusty won't be hard since they both work as lifeguards at the community pool, along with her nicey-nice study buddy Cameron (Johnny Simmons), who has secretly been pining for her all this time. If Brandy can get straight A's in school, she can surely ace sex, right? In the end, she will learn that sex isn't that big of a deal, unless it's with someone you care about.
A piquant mix of saucy wit and a sexual frankness that's refreshing for a mainstream comedy as it is educational, "The To Do List" mostly avoids going for the easy gross-out gag every time (listen up, "Grown Ups 2"). For every joke that doesn't quite land (there's a strained "Caddyshack"-style moment in the pool), many more follow and elicit laughs. Hand jobs, blow jobs, cunnilingus, and dry humping are all integral to Brandy moving down her to-do list, and none of the acts are executed without a level of gone-wrong humiliation. The time period also practically becomes a character itself, with '90s references done to death—skorts, pagers, headbands, electronic mail, "Saved by the Bell," "Growing Pains," "Home Improvement," Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, 2 Live Crew's "Me So Horny" and Salt-N-Pepa's "Let Talk About Sex"—but a lot of fun to spot for nostalgia purposes.
In her first major vehicle, 29-year-old Plaza is engaging to follow as Brandy and pulls off playing a recent high school graduate. The character is naïve but not dumb or overly prudish, even when she thinks a "pearl necklace" sounds elegant. Early on, it seems Brandy is the butt of the joke, but later on, Plaza, in on the joke, is totally game to awaken the heroine's libido. A masturbation scene in her day-of-the-week undies and a Hillary Clinton T-shirt might be as uncomfortably shocking as seeing Jason Biggs hump a pie for the first time. Every other actor in the inspired cast gets his or her moment and line, too. The invaluable Shawkat and Steele are sprightly back-up as Brandy's gal pals, the former dying to watch "Beaches" on VHS and sob into tissues with her friends. Porter is a perfect choice as Brandy's dream adonis and Bilson surprises with some comedic chops as Brandy's Big Sis. Bill Hader (who happens to be writer-director Carey's husband) is his Bill Murray-ish goofball self as perpetually hung-over pool manager Willy who can't swim; he could have easily just been a caricature but the character is a sad, sensitive soul at heart. Connie Britton is an amusing counterpoint to Clark Gregg, playing Brandy's lube-giving mother to her uptight judge father who hand out night-and-day nuggets of advice on intercourse. Andy Samberg also gives his requisite cameo as a grunge band vocalist.
Writer-director Carey displays a buoyancy in setting up episodic comedic situations and less so when it comes to moralizing and wrapping everything up. About as sloppy as Brandy going about her own sexcapades, "The To Do List" is still fun and funny enough to be the smuttier sister to "Easy A." In the ranks of the time-honored teen comedy, it doesn't go to the bases of that terrifically sharp and genuinely lovable Emma Stone vehicle, but, for a first-time watch, bound to become an easy-breezy favorite at slumber parties with sex toys.
