Auckland-born Jay Laga'aia is the proverbial man of many talents. A busy trans-Tasman career as actor/performer has seen him performing on stage (The Lion King) and screen (Street Legal, Water Rats, Star Wars).
I've always tried to aid myself in getting jobs by being multifunctional. If you're from New Zealand you need many strings to your bow. Most of the Kiwis I know are triple threats – they can act, sing and dance. Jay Laga'aia
The Karate Kid meets South Auckland when Fritz (played by Australian-Tongan actor Uli Latukefu) learns the warrior ways of his old Dad, so he can secure the return of his family's treasured pro-wrestling title belt from local gangsters. The Legend of Baron To'a marks the first feature from director Kiel McNaughton, whose credits include Auckland Daze and Find Me a Māori Bride. McNaughton also produced acclaimed films Waru and Vai with his wife Kerry Warkia. The action/comedy boasts a stellar Pasifika/Māori cast, including Jay Laga'aia and Shavaughn Ruakere.
In The Tem Show Temuera Morrison interviews and hangs with his entertainment whānau. This 'revenge of the bros' episode sees Tem korero with Kiwis involved in the Sydney-shot Star Wars chapters: he hakas with Jay Laga'aia and Bodie Taylor and cooks some eggs for Rena Owen in LA. He also meets George Lucas and gets cloned at Skywalker Ranch. Other guests in the series include uncle Howard Morrison, coaching Rotorua schoolboy rugby with Buck Shelford. This was Prime TV's first publicly funded local programme, and replayed on Māori Television.
Ventriloquist David Strassman has appeared on talk shows and TV specials in Aotearoa, Australia, the United Kingdom and his native United States. Strassman's first TV series debuted in Australia in 1998; the next year Strassman played on British network ITV. The basic formula of a chat show hosted by a man and a shameless puppet was then carried over to New Zealand. Strassman's alter egos include the irascible Chuck Wood and the cuddly Ted E Bare. Among his local guests were Kiwi TV personalities (Mike King, Robyn Malcolm) and the occasional musician and politician.
Running an impressive four series, stylish crime show Street Legal centred around a struggling Auckland law firm, home base for unorthodox lawyer David Silesi (Jay Laga'aia), and sometime girlfriend Joni Collins (Kathleen Kennard). 'Ellis's Restaurant', the first episode made following the pilot, sees Silesi defending an ex-junkie on a possession charge, and facing off for the first time on screen against Sergeant Keens Van Dam (Charlies Mesure). The episode also sees the debut of Silesi's beloved 1944 Ford Jailbar, after his Ute unexpectedly ends up in pieces.
Every year around Christmas time, the Auckland Domain is lit up for a star-filled night of free Christmas celebrations. Hosted by Jay Laga'aia, this 2000 edition of the concert has "more than 300,000 people" gathered for an evening of songs, carols and fireworks. Kicking off with a Christmas rap from Anthony Ray Parker and kids, the celebrations go long into the night. Stepping up to the mic are everyone from Tina Cross, Frankie Stevens and Ainslie Allen, to the cast of Shortland Street and Mai Time. The evening is capped off with a fireworks display and the arrival of Santa Claus.
This TV2 promo is a cover of Sonny and Cher classic 'I Got You Babe'. A roll call of turn of the century Kiwi celebrities take turns performing, starting with late actor Kevin Smith and actor/sometime Strawpeople singer Stephanie Tauevihi. Other stars include Jay Laga'aia, Havoc and Newsboy, Erika Takacs from band True Bliss, What Now? hosts, Shortland Street's Katrina Devine, and Spike the penguin from Squirt. Also popping by are Bart and Lisa from The Simpsons, and Aussie Portia de Rossi (then appearing on American show Ally McBeal). The promo was made by Saatchi & Saatchi.
Over four seasons, Street Legal's slick Kiwi take on urban crime and law genres racked up a stack of award nominations - including a 2003 NZ TV Award for best drama series. Although initially wary that the Auckland setting might alienate viewers, writer Greg McGee chose a Samoan lawyer (Jay Laga'aia) as his main character, to exploit the show's inner-city Ponsonby setting (where cafe society bumps into Pacific Island immigrant culture). Other key characters included Silesi's lawyer ex-girlfriend Joni, and her new partner Kees, an overstressed sergeant.
One of a trio of late 90s Kiwi crime-based pilots, Street Legal was the only one that would successfully spawn a series - four series, in fact (though Kevin Smith vehicle Lawless saw two further tele-movies). The Street Legal pilot provides a stylish big city template for the show to come, as Auckland criminal lawyer David Silesi (Jay Laga-aia) enlists the help of an over- enthusiastic journalist (Sara Wiseman) in the hope of winning an out-of-court settlement over a hit and run case. Meanwhile Silesi's lawyer girlfriend smells something fishy - with good reason.
Tala Pasifika was a Pasifika drama series which grew from workshops aimed at upskilling Pasifika screen talents. The first six teleplays debuted on TV One in 1996 as part of magazine show Tagata Pasifika. Two more screened in their own slots in 1999. Instigated by Stephen Stehlin and Pomau Papali'i, Tala Pasifika was the first drama series to showcase Samoan culture. Don Selwyn and Ruth Kaupua were brought on to produce. Among those supporting the workshops or the resulting series were NZ On Air, the NZ Film Commission, Creative NZ and Justine Simei-Barton's Pacific Theatre.
This ten minute drama features actor Jay Laga'aia (Street Legal). Malama (Saili Williams) is a young girl who lost her eyesight in the car crash that also killed her mother. Although she can't see in the physical world, Malama has gained a window to the spirit world. Her father Ta'a (Laga'aia) still grieves and can't cope with raising the kids. His frustrations manifest as anger. When Malama and her brother attend their baptism, the family crisis hits boiling point. Malama screened as part of pioneering Pacific Island drama series Tala Pasifika.
Marlin Bay was a drama series following the comings and goings of a far-north resort and casino. Andy Anderson, Ilona Rogers, Don Selwyn, Pete Smith, Katie Wolfe and others made up the cast of earthy locals, wealthy foreigners, and city weekenders. Created by writer Greg McGee, Marlin Bay was one of the first primetime drama series from South Pacific Pictures. Kevin Smith received a 1995 Best Supporting Actor nod for his role as villain Paul Cosic.
The video for this Red Nose Day chart-topper makes the most of a powerhouse combination: celebrities and cute babies. Although lead singer Hammond Gamble gets his share of screen time, the video is mostly devoted to close-ups of perhaps the biggest pile-up of famous Kiwis ever to cram into one music video. The faces include appearances early on by actors Simone Kessell, Ilona Rodgers, and Mark Raffety — plus The Wizard, sports legends Grant Fox, John Kirwan and Jeremy Coney, newsreaders Judy Bailey and Anita McNaught, and singers Tina Cross and Suzanne Lynch.
The "kids stumble on crims" premise of this kidult thriller series was practically an NZ TV staple in the 80s (Terry and the Gunrunners, The Fire-Raiser); here it's realised with a script by author Margaret Mahy and the director/producer team of Peter Sharp and Chris Bailey (vying with a schedule disrupted by Cyclone Bola). Mahy creates a world of masks, disguises and intrigue for a young cast including Martin Henderson (his screen debut), Hamish McFarlane (fresh from Vincent Ward's The Navigator), Joel Tobeck (an early role) and deaf seven-year-old Sonia Pivac.
Set in a Rogernomics-era 'New Auckland' world of property deals and horse racing, the second part of this 1989 mini-series sees the brassy odd couple Tammy (Annie Whittle) and Joanna (Miranda Harcourt) in deep water. The working class battler and the art consultant have done up their inherited greasy spoon, but they're the "only fly in the ointment" of the 'Vision 2000' scheme of a nefarious developer (Brit import James Faulkner). Girl power meets utopian unitary planning as the duo find bones in the basement, and get too close to the secrets of Huntercorp HQ.
This kidult thriller features Martin Henderson (in his screen debut) and Hamish McFarlane (fresh from The Navigator) with a script by Margaret Mahy. Brothers and sisters Emma and Zane, and Kelsey and Morgan are friends, with their own clubhouse and secret society. Their lives change when Zane and Emma witness a jeweller's shop robbery, and Morgan and Kelsey see two men escape their crashed car after a police chase. The friends find themselves plunged into a world of intrigue, questionable Special Branch agents and a mysterious fire eater and magician.
After their house explodes and they bump into a gunman, journalist Alf (Temuera Morrision) and his American girlfriend (Beverly Hills Cop's Lisa Eilbacher) head to the West Coast, on the run from the cops and mysterious forces. The conspiracy plot is mostly an excuse for chases, capers and crashes galore, all imbued with plenty of pell-mell shenanigans (this time heading north in a red Falcon) by Goodbye Pork Pie director Geoff Murphy. The movie marked Temuera Morrison's first big screen starring role. This excerpt sees John Clarke cameo as a used car salesman.
A young boy is afflicted by apocalyptic visions in medieval Cumbria. Believing he is divinely inspired to save his village from the Black Death, he persuades a group of men to follow him into a tunnel. They dig deep into the earth and emerge ... in Auckland, New Zealand, 1987. Following portents, the time travelers must negotiate the terrors of a strange new world, (motorways, nuclear submarines) — while seeking to save their own. Nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes, it scooped the gongs at the 1988 AFI and 1989 NZ Film & TV Awards.
Gloss was a popular Kiwi television drama series made by TVNZ that screened in the late 80s; it combined a wealthy family, the Redferns, with a lucrative high-fashion magazine business. Yuppies, shoulder-pads and méthode champenoise abound in this cult "glamour soap". New Zealanders wanted to see themselves as less bottom of the world and more "here we come and we are sailing" (as the infamous Cup campaign song warbled), and Gloss was just what the era demanded.
This 38 episode series revolved around the ups and downs of a community house run by Tony Van Der Berg (Frank Whitten). The series was devised by Liddy Holloway to meet a network call for an Eastenders-style drama that might tackle social issue storylines. It was the first drama series to put a Māori whānau (the Mitchells) at its centre. Despite being well-reviewed, it was perhaps the last gasp of Avalon-produced uncompromisingly local drama (satirised as the 'Wellington style'), before TV production largely shifted to Auckland to face up to commercial pressures.
Heroes followed a band trying to make it in the mid-80s music biz. Teen-orientated, the show marked a first major role for Jay Laga'aia (Star Wars), and an early gig for Michael Hurst (with blonde Billy Idol spikes). Band keyboardist John Gibson co-wrote the series music; he later became an award-winning film composer. Margaret Umbers (Shortland Street, Bridge to Nowhere) was a non-musician in the cast (with Hurst), but since has sung regularly in a jazz band. A second series follow in 1986.
Long before the comedy of Flight of the Conchords, Heroes followed the triumphs and pitfalls of a band trying to make it in the mid-80s New Zealand music biz. It marked the first major role for Jay Laga'aia, and early leading parts for Michael Hurst and Margaret Umbers. In this first episode the band gets together as Dave (Hurst) ditches his covers band, flunks a TV audition, and hooks up opportunist flatmate Ron (Laga'aia), synth player Peter (John Gibson, who co-wrote the series music) and bass player Maxine (Umbers). Synth and leopard skin abound.

Drug Paraphernalia
Many types of illegal drugs are consumed with the use of different types of devices or instruments. Whether a pipe for smoking marijuana or a hypodermic needle for injecting heroin, any device that is used to facilitate the consumption of a controlled substance may be considered drug paraphernalia in Houston, Texas. Possession of these items is against the law and may be subject to criminal prosecution.
Texas Penalties for Paraphernalia Possession
In the eyes of the law, possession of a marijuana pipe or hypodermic syringe containing drug residue is considered to be evidence of illegal drug use. For this reason, police can issue citations for possession of a marijuana pipe even if the person being cited is not in possession of any actual marijuana.
While the penalties for possession of a drug are usually greater than the penalties for possession of an item used to consume that drug, the consequences are still significant. For example, a conviction for possession of these items could cause:
- A Class C misdemeanor conviction
- A $500 fine
- Months of probation, including mandatory drug testing
- Mandatory drug counseling
Legal Defenses
One of the problems encountered in these types of cases is that some items used for drug consumption are extremely similar to items used to consume legal substances. For example, a pipe or rolling papers used to smoke marijuana can also be used to smoke tobacco.
A defense attorney may use this fact in court to fight possession charges. The attorney might argue that possession of plastic bags, hypodermic syringes or smoking pipes is not sufficient to issue a conviction. If drug residue was discovered on or near one of these items, the attorney may be able to negotiate with the court for a plea bargain that could reduce the penalties.
For example, an attorney may be able to get the court to agree to let a defendant pay a fine and attend drug counseling for a deferred adjudication sentence. This may let the defendant eventually have the charged erased from his or her criminal record.
Hire a Houston Drug Attorney
People who have been arrested should hire a criminal defense attorney, regardless of whether they are guilty or innocent. Innocent people need an attorney to prove their innocence to the court and guilty people need an attorney to negotiate a fair penalty with the courts. Allow Justin T. Surginer to handle your case today by calling 713-589-8855.

The walls of the features to which the stack stone was adhered were not waterproofed as they should have been and water leaked down the back and sides of the features. The Back pond also leaks and cannot find source of the leak. It may be a crack in pipe leading to motor. The front pond is not square by 20mm. I would not recommend this supplier EVER! He kept blaming us for the problems. "

By the way, do you know of any job openings for a motivational trainer?
"Simply enriching a previously Spartan space with plants served to increase productivity by 15 percent" in workers, says Marlon Nieuwenhuis, the lead author of a study conducted by Cardiff University in Wales, as published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology Applied. "Investing in landscaping the office with plants will pay off through an increase in office workers quality of life and productivity." Co-author Craig Knight, a psychologist at England's University of Exeter, agrees. "Psychologically manipulating real workplaces and real jobs adds new depth to our understanding of what is right and what is wrong with existing workspace design and management," he says. "We are now developing a template for a genuinely smart office." *

"It's all right for you to say," answered his buddy. "But what if you came home one night and caught another man in bed with your wife?"

A rather confident man walks into a bar and takes a seat next to a very attractive woman. He gives her a quick glance, then casually looks at his watch for a moment.
The woman notices this and asks, "Is your date running late?"
"No", he replies, "I just bought this state-of-the-art watch and I was just testing it."
The intrigued woman says, "A state-of-the-art watch? What's so special about it?"
"It uses alpha waves to telepathically talk to me," he explains.
"What's it telling you now?"
"Well, it says you're not wearing any panties..."
The woman giggles and replies, "Well it must be broken then because I am wearing panties!"

Issue of the Times;
Scientists Claim 40% of Population Infected with "Mind Control Parasite"
Recently a team of scientists made a statement claiming that up to 40% of people are infected with brain parasites that have the ability to alter human behavior.
Joanne Webster, professor of parasite epidemiology at Imperial College London, explains that many parasites favor the brain, "because it shelters them from the full fury of the immune system". But, she says, "it also gives them direct access to the machinery to alter the host's behavior".
The Telegraph reported that:
"There is a single-celled parasite called Toxoplasma gondii, which is found in domestic cats, and is estimated to infect 350,000 people a year in Britain. Its effect on humans became the obsession of Jaroslav Flegr, professor of evolutionary biology at Charles University in Prague, who linked it with disturbed behaviours such as reckless driving and a greater risk of suicide. Rats infected with Toxo, as scientists at Imperial College discovered, actually like the smell of cat urine, instead of being terrified by it. And studies at Stanford University in California have revealed the neural changes that lay behind this transformation. Toxo – which comes in the form of tiny single-celled cysts – was clustered in two areas of the brain: those controlling fear and pleasure. Pathways that normally responded to the smell of cat urine with alarm had been damped down, while the pleasure hormone dopamine, normally released in response to female rodent urine, was now triggered by the whiff of cat. Most recently, researchers have shown that Toxo's DNA includes two genes that boost dopamine production. Human brains have plenty of similarities with those of rats and mice, suggesting that the greater number of car crashes among those with Toxo infection could be due to it damping fear responses."
The scientists that reported these findings are based out of the UK and they estimate that about 40% of the population in their area are infected with this parasite. The estimate that they give only applies directly to the population in the UK, but with these parasites so abundant in various different parts of the planet, it is likely that this 40% figure is just as relevant many other places world wide.
Another study, which is published in the scientific journal PLoS Pathogens, was led by Dr Barragan and conducted together with researchers at Uppsala University. Dr Barragan explained in an interview afew months ago that this is no new problem for the human species:
"We believe that this knowledge may be important for the further understanding of complex interactions in some major public health issues, that modern science still hasn't been able to explain fully….At the same time, it's important to emphasize that humans have lived with this parasite for many millennia, so today's carriers of Toxoplasma need not be particularly worried."
"We've not looked at behavioral changes in people infected with toxoplasma, as that's been dealt with by previous studies," says Dr Barragan. "Instead, we've shown for the first time how the parasite behaves in the body of its host, by which I mean how it enters the brain and manipulates the host by taking over one of the brain's neurotransmitters."
The main goal of these recent experiments is to better understand how the brain functions and how neurotransmitters communicate with each other. This research is most likely directed at developing more psychiatric drugs, as if the world needs any more of them.
While it is always a good thing to have a deeper understanding of how the human mind and body function, it is also important to keep an eye on the development of these types of studies, because there is always a possibility that they can be taken in a malevolent direction, with the intent to control populations.
As for the parasite itself, its basically harmless. It might make you a little bit crazy, but we are all a little bit crazy anyway, so no big deal.

Des Moines police say a man found dead near Drake University is the victim of a homicide.
20-year-old Nicholas White was found by his roommates Monday afternoon in their home just north of the Drake University campus.
Des Moines Police Sgt. Jason Halifax says investigators thought the death was suspicious because of factors such as how the body was position and the location of blood.
An autopsy confirmed the death was a homicide, though police won't give details about the cause of death or when White died.
It's the second homicide in Des Moines just this week.

We all know that weddings are expensive all the way around, for everyone, but we generally concentrate on how expensive weddings are for the couple getting married. It's true, if you're planning the shindig yourself it's easy to spend a lot of money, but you aren't the only ones who have to pony up so to speak. These days, between destination bachelorette parties and showers and engagement parties, your wedding party ends up with a hefty bill for your nuptials.
That's not to say they aren't happy to spend the money. By accepting the invitation to be in your bridal party they are also happily accepting the expense that goes along with it. But just because they are happy to spend money on travel and hotels and parties and drinks and gifts, doesn't mean you can't try to make it easier on them.
You can't control certain expenses like airfare and hotels for those in your party who are out-of-town, but here are a few ways you can lessen the load for them.
Don't Worry About the Shoes
Everyone thinks you should be concerned about what shoes your bridesmaids wear, but the truth is, it doesn't matter. They don't need matching shoes. Pick a color and ask everyone to wear something close to that. Even if the gowns are short, as long as the shoes are similar no one will notice. If you pick a fairly common color, then odds are everyone will already own a pair and that's one less expense.
Do it All in One Weekend
As tempting as it may be to spread out the festivities, you will save your bridal party a lot of expense and trouble if you plan all the extra activities for one weekend.
Don't Insist on Professional Hair and Make-Up
If you want to gift these services to your bridesmaids, then by all means do, but if not, there's no reason to make them mandatory. They will all look beautiful regardless.
Their Presence is Their Present
Right? Of course they may still want to give you gifts because they love you, but let it be known it's not necessary. This might be a task best handled by the maid of honor. Let her know you really don't want your bridesmaids to buy you a gift and she can help spread the word in a diplomatic way.
Gift the Matching Jewelry
As with the shoes, I tend to think that matching jewelry isn't super necessary, unless you're going with a big statement necklace. So if you really have a specific vision of everyone in the same jewelry, do everyone a solid and give it as a gift. It saves you from trying to find the perfect gift and it saves your maids from having to go out and find a specific piece of jewelry.
You Don't Have to do a Destination Party
I mean you can because they're fun and all, and if everyone's up for it and able then sure. But not everyone wants to make your bachelorette party they're vacation. If they're all from out-of-town it might not make a difference, but if you already share the same zip code, consider a stay-cation instead.
As always use your best judgment. You know these people and you know what is reasonable and unreasonable for them. Remember how much you care about all of them and make choices that reaffirm that.

This is the true story of Arthurdale, West Virginia, a town created as a "pet project" of the Roosevelts. Designed to be (in the words of Eleanor Roosevelt) "a human experiment station", she was to create a "New American" citizen who would embrace a collectivist form of life. This book tells the story of what happened to the people resettled in Arthurdale and how the policies implemented there shaped America as we know it. Arthurdale was the foundation upon which modern America was built.
Many books have examined the larger picture. But somehow, looking at the details of this smaller picture paints an even more devastating picture for the status of the New Deal. Arthurdale shows the massive financial disaster that government created and how it ended in destroyed lives and ruined economic prospects for an entire region. You wonder what went wrong in West Virginia? Here is the untold story.

Though others have written far more convincingly and elegantly about why they use Standards-Based Grading (see dy/dan's "How Math Must Assess", Think Thank Thunk's SBG Manifesto & FAQ, and Parts I & II on this post from Take It to the Limit, among many others), I figured I should at least have some explanation for my halfway jump into it this year.
A discussion over in the comments at Sam's blog got me thinking, and this post was inspired by writing a response there.
Standards-Based Grading means two things to me:
- A way of decluttering grades: simplifying them, while at the same time making them more specific. Usually a student might have a grade for homework, a grade for attendance, a grade for Quiz 1, a grade for chapter4 test, a grade for daily classwork, and several attempted extra credit opportunities, all floating around to give a number like a 78 on the report card. Instead, students are only graded on what they know, via skills or topic assessments. [Or, in my case, half of their grade is what they know and half is how they apply what they know through projects.] Furthermore, rather than grouping an assortment of skills together in quiz/test grades, grades are reported out separately by skill or topic. So instead of seeing a 55% on Quiz 3, a student sees grades reflecting complete mastery on calculating area but only a very limited understanding of identifying lines of symmetry.
- A system of re-assessment built in. At our school, we have long had a mastery re-do policy, where students are allowed to re-do work and re-take asssessments to demonstrate mastery of course content. Details of this policy's implementation are left up to individual teachers, so we may set late penalties for work not turned in on time, while still accepting it for a grade, or say that a student retaking a test failed the first time around may not receive more than a 90, or just allow their new grade to supersede the old. The whole idea of allowing re-assessments and the mastery re-do policy is to recognize that students might not always learn according to our schedule, but if they do learn and successfully master the content in a class, their grade should reflect that. For example, a student may be totally confused by rotation symmetry after I first teach it and give a quiz a couple days later. But then we spend a week creating tilings of the plane and examining the types of symmetry found therein, and the student gains a better understanding of the topic. In a standard class, the quiz has gone by, and the student didn't learn it in time, so too bad. With SBG, topics/skills re-appear on assessments. A student's new grade will replace an older grade, so their current grade will better reflect what they currently know about that topic. Additionally, within some reasonable limits, students are allowed to re-assess individual skills after school / before school during coach class.
While meeting a constant flow of deadlines is a key life skill, even more important in my view are the following: independent self-directed learning, setting your own goals on your way to a deadline, and keeping trying until you have reached a goal. A math professor I studied with in college would always say that failure is the only way we truly learn anything. Making a mistake (using what we know and failing) opens our eyes and prompts us to learn a new way that will succeed. And this skill: the skill of persistence in the face of failure, and learning from your mistakes, is perhaps the most important skill I wish to teach my students. Even though it's not on my SBG skills list 🙂, the very nature of SBG and re-assessment seem to promote this continual striving to get better instead of being satisfied with mediocrity.
I believe this will be my last SBG-details post for a while. I'm hoping to get back to posting more about the content of what I'm teaching in Geometry and Computer Integrated Manufacturing, describing some of the projects we're doing, and reflecting on how things go. But, for those of you who have liked my last few posts, I do plan on continuing to update my folder over on Scribd with weekly skills quizzes and other relevant documents from my foray into using SBG in Geometry.

It's inevitable that come the 2070's or 2080's this will be happening here.
VIENNA – At least two mass graves containing dozens of people killed by the Nazis have been found on property used by the Austrian army, government officials said Friday.
You say it can't happen here? Well, Sinclair Lewis already told us it could. But did we listen? No, we elected the commie Nazi Muslim no birth certificate guy.
BTW, I can't foresee having a lot of use for that "Mass Graves for Wingnuts" label. But, who knows?
And I would be remiss if I didn't point out the misspelling of welcome on the cover because in addition to being a regular Nazi Obama supporter, I am also a spelling Nazi.

Early Christmas with my kids
December 24, 2012 at 10:36 am Leave a comment
This year I won't be able to spend Christmas with my family so my kids and I had an early Christmas. We gathered at my daughter Heather and family's home in Lynnwood. Heathers dad, brother Ben and wife Wendy and their grandson Mason all came.
It was fun watching the boys play!
After a nice brunch everyone started opening their presents.
We all had a really nice time visiting but the mountain passes were bad and all too soon it was time for Ben and his family to make their way back to Wenatchee.
After they left we all got bundled up and took a walk.
After our walk and LJ's nap, guess which "toy" he decided he liked the best?
Here's hoping all of you have a wonderful Christmas this year and are able to spend it with the ones you love.

a) $\frac{1}{4}$. b)$\frac{3}{16}$ c) We can never be absolutely sure.
Work Step by Step
a) The card can be inserted upside down or up and also beginning of the name first or ending of the name first. Hence, by using the fundamental counting rule we can get the number of possibilities: $2\cdot 2=4.$ We also know that $probability=\frac{number \ of \ good \ outcomes}{number\ of\ all\ outcomes}$, therefore $P=\frac{1}{4}$. b) P(second try will be correct)=$(1-P(first \ try\ incorrect))\cdot P(second \ try \ correct)=(1-\frac{1}{4})\cdot \frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{16}$ c) We can never be absolutely sure because it is always possible that we insert the card in an incorrect way, however if we try it more times, it increases are probability.

The BRIDGE Series: Eric Kamau Gravatt
May 30, 2014 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
The BRIDGE Series is aimed to bridge the gap that the AQ's closing has left for musicians and listeners by featuring many of the artists who performed there. In the absence of a jazz club, we are hoping to get audiences out on Friday evenings, with music starting at 7:30pm, for a (strongly) suggested donation of $10 per person. A different cast of fantastic musicians will assemble each week for what we hope to be a great new series.
This Friday's The BRIDGE Series features Eric Kamau Gravatt with Brandon Wozniak & Zacc Harris.
Drummer Eric Gravatt has had a storied career as an original member of Weather Report and long time cohort of pianist McCoy Tyner, among others. He will play the Bridge Series for the first time this evening, so let's make it a great night!

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Police in the Philippines said Saturday that they are questioning a taxi driver who may have details about the suspect in a deadly casino attack in Manila that left at least 38 people dead.
The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the rampage, but authorities say that it looked like a botched robbery by one person and that it does not appear linked to terrorism.
According to police, the man stormed into the Resorts World Manila complex early Friday and used gasoline to torch gambling tables. The fire caused clouds of smoke that killed 37 people from smoke inhalation, said Metropolitan Manila police chief Oscar Albayalde.
The gunman fled to an adjoining hotel and killed himself.
"If he was a suicidal terrorist, then he would have gone on a killing spree," metropolitan Manila police chief Oscar Albayalde told The Associated Press on Saturday. "And yet he killed no one, even those people running in front of him. He was even saying, 'Get out, get out!'"
Police described the suspect as an English-speaking, fair-complexioned man in his 40s who was at least 1.8 meters (6 feet) tall. He was armed with an assault rifle but did not shoot anyone during the attack, police said.
Luchie Arguelle, 61, was playing the slots at around 12:10 a.m. Friday when she saw the man enter the room.
"(He was) all dressed in black, burly, everything was covered, you can't even see his eyes," said Arguelle, who was about 9 meters (30 feet) from the gunman. She said he was holding two small bottles of liquid and dousing the baccarat table.
"I said, 'He's going to burn that table, he's going to douse it,'" before she grabbed her husband's hand and started running.
Many in Manila feared after the attack began that it was linked to ongoing battles with Muslim militants aligned with the Islamic State group in the southern city of Marawi.
The fighting has placed much of the country on edge and raised fears that the IS was gaining a foothold in the country.
The Philippines has faced Muslim insurgencies for decades, though much of the violence has occurred in the troubled south.
There's been concern the militants might attack elsewhere to divert the focus of thousands of troops trying to quell the siege in Marawi.
But police were emphatic that there appeared to be no links to terrorism in Friday's attack.
Albayalde said police were getting more closed circuit television pictures and questioning the taxi driver who dropped the suspect off at the casino.
"We have the taxi driver who could probably identify him," Alabayade said.
The attack occurred at a sprawling mall-like complex near the Manila airport that includes hotels, restaurants, stores and a multi-floor gambling area.
Police said that during the attack the man stole more than $2 million worth of casino chips, though he apparently abandoned them in a toilet soon after.
As the gunman left, he exchanged fire with a building guard who managed to shoot him in the leg after being wounded, police and casino officials said.
"Severe blood loss from the gunshot wound significantly slowed the assailant down and resulted in his holing up in a room where he took his own life," said Stephen Reilly, Resort World's chief operating officer.
The attack sent hundreds of people fleeing through the complex and into the night. More than 70 people suffered mostly minor injuries in the stampede to escape.

Woodpeckers attack: Utility poles beware!
NEW ULM — The electric distribution system in New Ulm is under attack from woodpeckers.
Over the last year, the New Ulm Electric Distribution Department discovered significant woodpecker damage to the wooden transmission line crossing the Minnesota River and connecting to the Fort Ridgely substation.
"It sounds quite humorous, but it is a recent phenomenon for us," Utilities Director Patrick Wrase said. The wooden poles at the river crossing have been in place since the 1980s but no woodpecker damage has been noticed until the last few months.
"I don't want call it an infestation, but we have a good population of woodpeckers in this area, and we're dealing with the nesting of that group in our transmission poles across the river," Wrase said.
Dan Pirsig with the Electrical Department gave a presentation about the woodpecker problem. Staff first noticed the damage on the poles crossing the river last fall. Repairs were conducted in January, and structural assessments were performed. The recommendation was to replace the poles.
Replacing the poles is estimated at $30,000 per transmission pole. At this time there are five poles with damage bringing replacement costs up to a total of $150,000. The wood poles would be replaced with steel poles to prevent further woodpecker damage. In addition, the steel poles cost less than the laminate wood poles
Currently there are only five poles with damage, but approximately 34 poles are at risk from woodpecker damage. The cost of replacing all at-risk poles would exceed $500,000.
Pirsig said this is a time-sensitive issue. This is an ongoing problem that will not go away. If the integrity of the poles is compromised, they could break off in a wind storm or blizzard.
Pirsig said the department will begin wrapping the poles in a mesh material as a preventive maintenance method and repair the damage already done.
Wrase said other cities have had success with the mesh wrapping. The wrapping can be purchased for under $100 and would cover multiple poles.
The replacement project will be budgeted in 2018 and details will be presented at that time.
In other news, the New Ulm Public Utilities Commission approved the execution of a settlement agreement with the Hutchinson Utilities Commission (HUC) to resolve the metering error and resulting over-billing for natural gas the Hutchinson Commission caused to the New Ulm Public Utilities Commission (NUPUC).
In April, a draft of the agreement was prepared and approved by the PUC. New Ulm City Attorney Roger Hippert submitted the document to HUC for consideration and has been informed the document will be accepted by HUC without any changes and can be considered the final settlement agreement.
The settlement calls for a $1,298,645.98 payment from HUC to NUPUC. Once received, the $1.3 million will go into a fund to replenish the gas departments reserves.
"The additional expenses have been paid out to our gas supplier throughout this process," Wrase said. The cost of this overcharge was not passed on to utility rates, but reserve funds were used. This payment will cover the loss to gas reserves.
The payment from Hutchinson does not resolve the entire metering issue. At the close of the meeting, the PUC entered a closed session to discuss possible litigation related to unpaid unaccounted-for gas transported on the Fairfax gas pipelines to the Heartland Corn Products ethanol plant.

From an early age, Lyndsey sensed Spirits around her and was extremely afraid of the dark. As a child she knew little about the ethereal realm and felt relieved these otherworldly experiences didn't occur in every home she visited. Lyndsey was the black sheep of the family, raised by those who did not embrace her natural Intuitive abilities. Her talents flowed from her father's side. His grandmother was known to predict the deaths of loved ones and could often foresee events. Lyndsey always sensed the emotions and stress of her parents, and knew how events were going to unfold. She was drawn to the psychic world at a very young age, but it wasn't until she was thirteen and was suffering horribly from anxiety that her gifts really started to come to the fore. At that time, her beloved Pop Pop (grandfather) passed away and called on her frequently from the other side. This was the first time she'd experienced actual Spirit visitations and it would not be her last time either!
Lindsey had many premonitions, predicting the death of family members only to have them visit her beyond the grave. She's had many psychic dreams, as well, and has watched them manifest exactly as she saw them. Growing up with great sensitivity caused her to suffer from depression. It wasn't easy being a sponge for the emotions of others, and it took a very big toll on her. Depression and anxiety frequently knocked on Lyndsey's door, causing her to dig deeper within her spiritual self. In doing so, she became closer to the God Source within. This caused her gifts to become heightened, though she still remained unsure about them. Steady encouragement from friends and clients helped her to grow confident in her abilities. They persuaded Lyndsey to fully embrace the gifts her family did not approve of, and in doing so, she become a conduit for helping others.
Lyndsey became fascinated with astrological archetypes and the symbolism in numbers, immersing herself in the mystical science of numerology and astrology. For seven years, she has incorporated these disciplines into her Intuitive practice, adding additional layers of insight to her readings. She began at thirteen, reading for friends and then friends of friends, and as word of her accuracy spread, she branched out to the public. By nineteen, she had built a name for herself with repeat customers calling on her regularly. Lyndsey soon discovered she also possessed a unique gift for connecting with pets and finds them popping up in readings from time to time.
She's worked in holistic stores and home health aide, but is most at home with her Psychic Counseling practice, feeling it to be her calling. Without the support of her family, she struggled to embrace her natural gifts, but eventually became empowered by the changes she helped to make in others through her Psychic Counseling. Her struggles early on helped her to define the woman she is today. Often one finds it is the wounded healer who becomes the very best healer of all!
Over the years, Lyndsey has participated in many spiritual seminars and enhancement classes, always looking to connect with other light workers. Three years ago, she began working with medicine cards, finding them useful for medical and emotional blockages. She's also spot-on predicting pregnancy and the gender of an unborn child, and has accurately foretold friends' pregnanciesas well as her own! Her ultra sound technician desperately wanted to prove her wrong, but Lyndsey felt her baby boy from deep within and was, of course, right!
A Psychic Scorpio with a mystical 7 life path in numerology, Lyndsey is a very intense, passionate, and spiritual Intuitive. Currently she resides on the East Coast, but would love to move to a more tropical climate. At home, she delights in raising her young boy, full of energy and light. He is her little silly goose, and an artistic spirit. Lyndsey is fond of the beach, reading, meditation, cooking, gardening, nature, and has a strong connection with animals. One day she hopes to bring more awareness regarding laws to protect and help our furry friends.

What exactly is "the blues"? More than a century and thousands of volumes of literature after its advent, agreement still remains elusive. Son House, the legendary Mississippi Delta guitarist, claimed "the blues ain't nothing but a low-down, aching chill," while blues queen Ida Cox insisted it was "nothin' but a good woman feelin' bad." In his landmark 1976 tract Stomping the Blues, scholar Albert Murray opted to dissect the age-old inquiry, differentiating between the "blues as such"—heartbreak, loneliness, poverty—from "blues music," which produced "irrepressible joyousness," "downright exhilaration," and "rapturous delight in sheer physical existence" (Murray). Even limiting a definition to technical characteristics is tricky: while the classic 12-bar blues pattern marks much of the output of famous guitarists such as Blind Lemon Jefferson and Charlie Patton, it does the same for songs by Ray Charles and Jimi Hendrix, musicians intimately influenced by but not defined as bluesmen. In the end, it may be most expedient to identify the blues in terms considered least objectionable: a secular African American folk music whose relevance lasted roughly from the end of the nineteenth century through the middle of the twentieth century.

All opinions are those of the author, not necessarily
shared by the Online Writer. If you have a differing
opinion we would like to hear about it.
Three days ago, the U.S. Department Of Justice rocked the world of the Miami relatives who never dreamed that the authorities in our nation would ever, without their knowledge, actually carry out the law. Under five months of delusion, the keepers of Elian continued trifling with Janet (as Marisleysis calls her), toying with her as they did with Elian, as they did with all of us. Two minutes and thirty-four seconds of reality was what it took to end their reign of teasing. That big, "bad" raid was dictated solely by the circumstance which these lawbreakers themselves created and purposely managed. In supreme arrogance they had enjoyed, until that time, backing the government down. Yes, Bill (as Marisleysis calls him) did finally--emphasis on finally--resort to force to pry Elian out of their callous, lawless grip. But, here comes the kicker: How conveniently "nice" for them that they can come out of this portrayed by some as the victims!
In the aftermath of our law enforcement agency doing its job, what insanity is surfacing here in America? Some are now compelled to go after the enforcers of justice with a vengeance, to want to grill them incessantly, and to try to bring to their knees those who have truly lived up to their responsibility. Their babbling is a new low in this ongoing circus. Why can't political mouths finally be shut? It's because they can't stand the realization that this operation was an unqualified success. They are besides themselves with envy that others had the guts to do what they would not.
And, the media? Wouldn't they just have loved a botched rescue, or--more shockingly (for better ratings, of course)--a bloody one? Poor them! All they are left with is one detached photo--one frozen fraction of a second in a trauma that lasted 150 days. This wonderful, prized momento, they must keep cramming down our throats repeatedly. And, it has been made all the worse, now that they didn't get the long-awaited riot they wanted so desperately in order to bring on the excitement of 24-hour, blanket crisis coverage. Just think what we missed not being able to see in every detail Miami burning.
Where is the counterweight to all that pitiful whining heard on the TV about the Feds damaging this child? After all, didn't Elian have a gun to his head?... near his head?... pointed in the direction of his head?... in proximity to his head? Well, he saw the gun! Kudos to NBC News who found it worthwhile to interview an expert on Elian's state of mind; namely, his paternal grandfather called "Papi," who had worked--get this!--as a policeman for 25 years in Cuba. You and I don't know Elian; and neither does Senator Bob Smith. But this close relative said that his grandson spoke to him on the phone soon after his being rescued and joked, "The police in the United States wear funny hats." Hello! Why are some so hysterical about the marshals traumatizing Elian? Are they acting more traumatized than, in fact, Elian himself? And, these are people living in the USA where we don't live in no convent!
Is it too much to ask that our leaders, at least, cut out the silly hype? How can Congress have the almighty nerve to hold hearings to investigate Reno's action? Some are just itching to get their licks in. For crying out loud!--she ACTED in the capacity of Attorney General. Then, yesterday, there came the news: D.C. Zoo Shooting Leaves 7 Injured. Those shot, ranging in age from 11 to 16, were attending a post-Easter gathering celebrating black families.
Even more so now, spare us your hearings. ACT on some real issue in our own backyard. We don't need to listen to anymore sanctimonious drivel. All we have to know is this professional law enforcement standard: The overwhelming SHOW of force is designed expressly to prevent having to make USE of force. It is simply a matter of wisdom. Federal marshals have families, too! If Congressional leaders can not get this basic concept and fully support our police, then lawbreakers will surely get the picture and become more brazen and daring. At that point we will need all the police we can get, wearing "funny hats." So, why not have foresight and do something prudent for a change?

What Would it Take to Make Enough Algae-Based Biofuel to Supply All U.S. Vehicle Needs?
Answer: About 12.5% of the Sonora Desert, or 15,000 square mile/9.5 million acres. Compare this to the 450 million acres currently used as crop land (the majority of which is irresponsibly and inefficiently used for animal feed--more on the gross inefficiency of meat production compared to vegetable/grain production for human comsumption in a later post) and 500 million acres used as grazing land!! I already posted this statistic, but found a link that explains the calculations . . .
Link to the calculations and statistics:
In response to any concerns about the potential environmental impact of these algae farms, consider that the apparatuses necessary to produce the algae could be built where little to no foliage is currently existing, and would actually provide shade to create habitat for many desert dwelling species. And also consider that the toxicity of biodiesel (b100) is negligible, whereas diesel and gasoline are both highly toxic and pose long term hazards to plant, animal and human life.

We Are Friends For…I don't know how long! But If You Stay, I'll Say… Forever !
Friends are the siblings born to different parents, I have heard!
Last evening while roaming on the terrace, and alongside watching my daughter (soon-to-be-four) play with a boy from neighbourhood, I had to face an amusing situation. They were playing with toy cars, talking, giggling, rolling on the floor, and having great time. Suddenly my 'GlowinGal' took a pause, and came running to me, "Ma…Ma, I want to marry Namit?"
I was not expecting it, so, avoiding an exaggeration, I said, "Okay". And off see went.
After that, leaving all the toys aside, the two started assembling wooden pieces and piling them up in some pattern known only to them.
"What's going on kids?" I got curious.
"We are making home!" they responded without looking.
"Ahaan!" And before I could say anything else, GlowinGal started dancing.
"Now what's it with you?" I got amazed.
"Aren't we supposed to dance in our marriage", she said in-between the moves.
(Well, I just heard that she wanted to marry this friend of her but she wanted it this soon, I had no idea 😉 !). I let her.
And it's funny that she forgot about it…completely, the very next day…He again was just a friend ;).
Next day, we were having mother-daughter conversation, "Darling, whom do you sit with in your Nursery class?"
"Rudra!" She said with a sparkle in her eyes.
I continued, "And who's your best friend?"
"It's Rudra Ma!"
Not for once did she mention the name of the boy she was planning to get married the previous evening. It's a good thing that kids have a short memory otherwise by the time they actually become adults, they would be married, like zillion times ;).
"Rudra is a boy No! Don't you have any girl-friend?" (I meant, girl as a friend)
"No!" She said in a low tone.
"Why?" I got worried. "What about Navya? Isn't she a friend?"
"But she sits with Athrava," She said looking up.
"So?" (I was trying to have a conversation here 😉 )
"She's his girl-friend Ma!" She revealed.
"Oh, so does that mean, you are Rudra's girlfriend?"
"Yes and He's my boyfriend Mamma!"
I was speechless but could not stop laughing :). (You might be so sure my little sweetheart but I am not sure about it!)
{It's amazing how innocent childhood is! Kids don't know what relations are all about. I bet at some point of our life even we have thought of many stupid things. As a kid, many of us wished to marry our papa , isn't it? Anyways, no one takes kids seriously, may be that's why adults keep saying 'No Kidding'!}
Seriously, I am not kidding now. we all meet countless people in life, a few of them become are friends and very few of them manage to stay till the end. Some are just fillers, so lost in the oblivion; those close-to-hearts always stay in memories and some special ones keep making our days brighter every now and then.
Let's Cherish the ones who are still there.
To my friends: I am glad I met you. Happy Friendship Day folks!
Keep smiling :).

Wow ! Such a innocent and cute post I have not read in my whole life.
Thanks for sharing awesome conversation. I have smile on my face. Your posts is greater than millions of books written so far !
Taking away all reality of life and takes you to fantasy land.
Good read for Sunday morning, so refreshing.
All the very best , keep sharing.
Why not get "married" a zillion times? I've been married three times (and three times divorced) and would have been married a whole lot more, but in any case, now I have three "ex's" who are life-long absolute best friends, and there's no jealousy between any of us because it is now a spiritual relationship (and I DON'T mean religious!!!) that we share and it just seems to flow. Kids have a lot of wisdom adults could greatly benefit from. Can you imagine four year olds killing others in games of war, or deliberately oppressing others? I could go on and on with those examples. "Unless you become as little children you will in no wise enter the kingdom of God" is a quote from the Christian new testament that your story has suddenly explained perfectly. You have a real "Glowin' Gal" there. Thanks for sharing, Mann.
