"and gave up His spirit." Gave it up in the literal sense. His death carrying mankind's offsprings sins with it required that he give his life of all energy he possessed to a literal death awaiting the resurrection Father promised for faithfully fulfilling his mission on earth. Had he not died a literal death which included his celestial energy as well as the flesh and blood vessel that houses it, the ransom would not have been paid in full. He willingly gave up his most valuable thing – his spirit that contains the life force from Father. In simple terms, he gave his all – his life, which depended on faith that Father would carry through on Her promise. At the time of his death he was in severe pain and was not 100% convinced that he had successfully carried out his mission because of his distraught and physical condition he was suffering in. So, he said he was entrusting his spirit to Father. "Father, into Your hands I entrust My spirit." His trust in Father to follow through on Her promise in his willingness to give over his complete self to unconscious death.
Luke 21:44-46 It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three, because the sun's light failed. The curtain of the sanctuary was split down the middle. And Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into Your hands I entrust My spirit." Saying this, He breathed His last."
Mark 14:36 "And He said, "Abba , Father! All things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me. Nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will."
Taking the cup away would be the taking away of the wrath promised. He had to taste the wrath for those that would never experience it. Christ Jesus knew all things were possible for Father, and as a human Christ felt the fear of death and is why he asked the cup to be taken away. But, "Nevertheless" he chose not to rely on what he then felt and wanted not to happen, but to leave it in Father's hands as to doing Her will.
Romans 8:15 "For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, " Abba, Father!"
You see, Christ felt fear, but he refused to fall back because he accepted that Father would cause to happen what needed to be done in order for Christ to adopt Father's children out of a world of slavery.
Galatians 4:6 "And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, " Abba , Father!"
Christ became the Spirit that enters each of our hearts. He motivates each of us to cry out to Father when we need Her. And to worship Father in complete truth.
John 20:21-23 " Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you." After saying this, He breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain [the sins of] any, they are retained."
Note: "He breathed on them" because he was there to represent Father as the "Spirit of His Son."
Acts 2:27 "because You will not leave my soul in Hades, or allow Your Holy One to see decay."
To decay in this spoken of, is to fall without promise of resurrection to the hope of continued existence.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely. And may your spirit, soul, and body be kept sound and blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Definition of Soul:
1. the principle of life, feeling, thought, and action in humans, regarded as a distinct entity separate from the body, and commonly held to be separable in existence from the body; the spiritual part of humans as distinct from the physical part.
2. the spiritual part of humans regarded in its moral aspect, or as believed to survive death and be subject to happiness or misery in a life to come
3. the emotional part of human nature; the seat of the feelings or sentiments.
Soul here, does not represent your vessel's blood or your spirit. It represents your future hope, for the soul that is practicing sin whether it be on the fleshly plane or the spirit plane risks blame deserving of complete destruction.
Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as to divide soul, spirit, joints, and marrow; it is a judge of the ideas and thoughts of the heart."
In this Scripture the soul represents the blood the life force is contained within.
Psalm 62:5 "Rest in God alone, my soul, for my hope comes from Him."
Your soul this Psalm speaks of is your future hope of eternal existence.
Hebrews 6:19 "We have this [hope]—like a sure and firm anchor of the soul—that enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain."
No flesh and blood can enter Heaven's sanctuary, so this represents the sure and firm hope of life eternal for those that reach sanctuary.
Job 33:18 "God spares his soul from the Pit, his life from crossing the river [of death]."
Spared from eternal death.
Hebrews 10:38 "But My righteous one will live by faith; and if he draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him."
All things come from Father, and She too has a soul.
Matthew 22:37 "He said to him, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind."
Simply put, to love Father with your entire capacity. That's why you cannot love Father with just your mind, by speaking the Word but proving false by action that comes forth from the heart.
Your Goals:
1 Peter 1:9 "because you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls."
Psalm 119:42 "Then I can answer the one who taunts me, for I trust in Your word."
Psalm 31:14 "But I trust in You, LORD; I say, "You are my God."
Psalm 143:8 "Let me experience Your faithful love in the morning, for I trust in You. Reveal to me the way I should go, because I long for You." Amen.
Christ Jesus bears witness to you, through you, by you. In this, you have borne witness by experiencing the signs and sharing them. There will be more.

Frank Robinson's Death
Posted February 16, 2019on:
Frank Robinson's passing reminded me of a time back in 1988 when he was in Kansas City and manager of Baltimore. His team was 0-20 and about to play the Royals. As a sport psychology consultant I called him and asked for a meeting. He agreed and when I walked into the room at Royals stadium where he was flanked by two of his assistant coaches, I explained my program to him and everything went well until I mentioned a part of the program where players were to hug each other and when I made that statement he held up his hand and said "Hold it. This meeting is over." "Why?" I asked. And he replied "There's no way in hell you're gonna get Major League Baseball players to hug each other." On my way home I thought about what I should have said: "Hey, what about Tommy Lasorda? He hugged everybody." 😊 Soon after they won their first game of the season.
Successful coaches care about their athletes as human beings first, and then as athletic performers. This includes helping them with their personal issues and problems and having an open-door policy.
Successful coaches know that athletes do not perform well if they fear the wrath of their coach.
Successful coaches know that when they get angry they give away their power. They do not yell and get in the faces of their athletes.
Successful coaches are aware that their behavior in their own personal lives affects how they interact with their teams.
Successful coaches know that what takes place away from the field of competition affects what takes place on the field of competition.
Successful coaches encourage their athletes not to "withhold" their feelings and emotions since withholding is a form of lying that demeans them and lowers their self-esteem; as a result of withholding, athletes will take fewer risks in interpersonal relationships and create psychological baggage for themselves that affects their ability to focus and process information.
Successful coaches hold weekly team meetings and encourage, when necessary, that their athletes sometimes participate in "players only" meetings so they will feel free to discuss team related problems and issues in a support group environment, issues they may not feel comfortable discussing with their coach present.
Successful coaches know they cannot motivate their players but can create a support group environment allowing their players to discuss their personal issues and problems; and as they discuss their personal issues and problems, they will then feel better about themselves and will automatically become more motivated.
Successful coaches are constantly aware of their players' eye contact since they know that poor eye contact is an indication that players are withholding and have unresolved issues in their personal lives.
Successful coaches encourage their players to use visualization techniques, including the use of video tape sequences accompanied by a music track with meaningful lyrics.
Successful coaches encourage their players to "excel for a higher order" by helping others less fortunate than themselves, thereby enhancing their own feelings of self-worth and their performance.
Successful coaches are those who are able to tap into their athletes' belief systems, realizing that the athlete's beliefs affect performance, not the coaches.
Successful coaches do not micromanage their teams during competition and allow their athletes to use their God-given talents.
An increasing number of college baseball teams are delving into Analytcis when coaches want to know about "a pitcher's velocity or spin of the ball out of his hand or a hitter's exit velocity and launch angle off the bat." It all sounds very good but what Analytics doesn't do is look into an athlete's personal life to find out if he (or she) is experiencing personal problems such as an anger issue or a bad relationship with his girlfriend (or boyfriend) or internal problems with a coach or a teammate. That's why I believe it's important that teams are transformed into support groups where they can get things off their chests which helps them feel better about themselves and increases their feelings of self-worth. Over the years I've found that when athletes are happy and their lives are in harmony they perform close to their skill levels on a consistent basis.
This article includes some degree of speculation. But the value of a players only team meeting is valid.
One of the 2018 NCAA March Madness Tournament coaches made a choice which, in my opinion, probably didn't sit well with his team and could have been the reason they lost in the second round to a less talented team. The coach, who will remain unnamed, had a star freshman player who joined the team early in the season and immediately experienced a foot injury that kept him from suiting up all season long. So the coach did the best he could do with the healthy members of his team and they made it into the post-season tournament. About that time, his star athlete's foot became healed well enough so he could play. The coach inserted him into the first tournament game early and the second tournament game also. Those players who worked their butts off all season long and had developed excellent chemistry with other members of the team were required to ride the bench and received very little playing time. This probably didn't sit well with the team. But no one said anything because the coach makes those decisions based on information he has available to him. He IS the coach and that is his job. But maybe, just maybe, it might not have been a bad idea to allow his team to hold a players only meeting and allow them to determine if the star athlete should be allowed to replace the player who had worked hard all season long, or should he ride the bench. This is another example of how most of the time good team chemistry is as important, or possibly more important, than talent. And good chemistry is often the result of a players only meeting.

Much has been written in the media about how America's women have been sexually abused by their bosses and supervisors and until now, have been reluctant to speak up because they feared the consequences of their honesty.
But something very similar is happening in the field of sports (and has been happening for a long time) based on the way some white coaches treat their black athletes behind closed doors. If a white coach treats an African-American athlete badly and the athlete speaks up, more than likely he will not only be kicked off the team but other teams will be reluctant to have him join them because he is immediately identified as a trouble-maker. The ramifications of this are enormous, especially since the athlete will be deprived of the opportunity to obtain a college degree. Rather than fight their coach and the front office (who is aware of their coach's behavior but still support him) they clam up, saying nothing, especially to the media. Here's an example:
A number of years ago, half-way through the season, I was called upon to help an NCAA Missouri Basketball team who, up to that time, was 3-15. My job as a sport psychology consultant was to help build team chemistry and help the players improve their performance. This involved each player standing and sharing with his teammates what was on his mind, with no coach present. There were twelve players on the team, ten of whom were African-American. At our first session, which was much like a support group meeting with all comments made to be kept in complete confidence within that room. What I heard from players was startling and amazing. Since the players wouldn't speak up about how their coach was treating them, I took it upon myself to approach a friend who was on the board of the university. He took action and when the season ended, that coach was fired. Unfortunately, word leaked out that it was I who approached the university and from that day on, no one at the university would hire me.
One last note: Once the "players only" weekly team meetings began, the team went on to win 8 out of their last 10 games. The coach, who was highly superstitious, thought it was because he hadn't changed his undershorts.
I watched the Frisco Bowl last night and saw the Louisana Tech football team blow out Southern Methodist University 51-10. The SMU Mustangs fumbled on the first play of the game and then things got worse. SMU had six turnovers and was behind at the half 42-10. But what caused SMU to have such a poor game? In my opinion, it was the fact that their head coach, Chad Morris, decided to leave the team and accept a higher paying job with the Arkansas Razorbacks in Fayetteville, Arkansas BEFORE the Frisco Bowl even began.
Morris took quite a few of his staff with him, creating a confused and discombobulated situation among SMU team members who were stunned by his decision to leave before their bowl game with LA Tech.
So much for an NCAA football coach telling his team all season long how much he loved them and would be there for them, until, that is, another team offered him more than three million dollars a year as head coach. In my opinion, this showed a huge lack of character on Coach Morris' part. He should have accepted the job but only on the condition that he be allowed to finish off the season with his SMU team.
Cheer as you may for your favorite NCAA Division I team but the fact of the matter is that NCAA Division I is a business. Talk about a team distraction…Louisiana Tech didn't win the game, SMU lost it. Thanks to Coach Morris' early exit. I'm looking forward to the day when SMU plays Arkansas while Morris is still head coach and gets his you-know-what whipped.
Posted October 28, 2017on:
Last night I watched the SMU mustangs win their football game over Tulsa, 38-34. According to an internet report: "A big turning point for the SMU defense came on Tulsa's first drive of the second half. A long touchdown rush for the Golden Hurricane was negated for taunting before the runner reached the end zone. It wiped the touchdown off the board, and the Mustangs held the Golden Hurricane to just three points." I watched that play and couldn't believe it was not allowed because of taunting, and if you watched the play you would see the receiver, when he knew he was end-zone bound and no one was around him, performed a single high stepping strut which the referees ruled consisted of taunting. The announcers believed the NCAA rule was ridiculous, as do I, and should be modified. The NCAA should realize that football is a game and if they insist on taking the fun out of it, over a period of time, fans will lose interest.

Rumi warns us against those leaders who turn humans against humans with appeals to patriotism and love of home. Only a fool will allow this love, which is understandable and natural, to be transformed into hatred of others he does not know. In this way, he becomes the slave of the schemes and machinations of a nature which is clever but also base. Hence the first warning: Do not believe an absurdity, no matter who says it. These absurdities may and often do roll from the lips of persons set in authority above their fellow men. But those who preach hatred, distrust and hostility against other peoples do not merit our trust. They try to ensnare the feeble-minded with their bile.
But what, then is home? First, Rumi condemns as a fool the man who would define his home in terms of a political creation, be it city, state or empire. The true home is a boundless ocean, he writes. Man must think in terms of his species, linked across time and space. Equally he must cherish the planet on which he dwells and must avoid through love for any locality doing harm to the whole. But finally that "home" is something which the wiseman seeks, accepting suffering and loss as he does so. The way home, as Novalis would tell us, is an inward path.

Hi. I'm not a dyed-in-the-wool taper, I'm a musician and a newspaper guy — what a combination.
I like the idea of mics in earbuds to use with my Edirol R-09, but am unclear on something. If I get a budget set of earbuds — like around 70 bucks — can I use them right out of the box with my Edirol R-09 or will I have to buy a battery pack to power them?
Thanks for taking the time to deal with a know-nothing like me!
Appreciate it.
The binaural earbuds-as-mics is a great idea, if you want to stand like a statue for the whole concert. You are the mic stand. :) You might want to think about that.
I have done binaural that way, but only as a person in motion recording the sounds around me. Quite interesting.
I'm a huge fan of ear-buds. But I always run it through a pre-amp. Just makes the sound clearer and easier to use. I don't play it much with my acoustic, but you cannot beat the sound quality.Most 'ear-bud' mics do not do so well being powered directly from the lower-than-optimum mic powering voltages offered from most small flash recorders having mic input powering feature. These typically at 2.5 volts, sometimes as high 5 volts, but most 'binaurals' need over 5 volts to really sound good.

In Gunma's Kusatsu (yes, the one with the onsen), there is a zoo with monkeys and capybara so the locals thought that the Year of the Monkey was a very good way to advertise it with a sign saying "This year is the Year of the Monkey so come and see the cute monkeys and capybara". The remaining 11 years, they just cover the "is the Year of the Monkey so" part -they just don't cover it well enough.

2 days, 2 shows - China Gold and Trisha Brown
Unfortunately, I don't read French, or I would know more about the show, the works and the artists. But here are two works from the show. The first by Tang Zhigang and the second by Cui Xuiwen.
This past weekend, I made plans to visit the Chateau de Chamarande on Sunday. Primarily to see the free summer show of Trisha Brown Early Works - part of the Festival Paris Quartier d'ete - but also because there is a gallery inside the castle and sculpture park on the land surrounding. The park is about 30-40 minutes south of Paris and a short 5 minute walk from the train station Chamarande (on the line RER C).
What can I say about the first work, pictured below? There was a clothesline of hanging clothes, and two male dancers eased into and out of the shorts and t-shirts and hung there for a bit before gracefully crawling out and into another pair. You never really know someone till you sit a while in their shorts? Or hanging out by a thread? Or I'm just here by the seat of your pants? All of these unrefined thoughts were tumbling around inside my head, like a freshly mined garnet in a rock tumbler, just hoping to come out shining. But they all ended up still a little rocky around the edges. C'est la vie.

Moffat's "Listen" Revitalizes Doctor Who Like Never Before
When they made this particular hero they didn't give him a gun they gave him a screwdriver to fix things. They didn't give him a tank or a warship or an x-wing fighter they gave him a call box from which you can call for help. And they didn't give him a superpower or pointy ears or a heat ray they gave him an extra heart. They gave him two hearts. And that's an extraordinary thing; there will never come a time when we don't need a hero like the doctor.
In this season more than ever, we see The Doctor with a companion he isn't even really "traveling with". He scoops her up when he needs her. Clara doesn't really cling in the way Amy or Rose did (Amy admittedly laid off a bit in the later years). Clara is largely her own person, an independent figure that is also so important to the doctor's life lives that she is able to influence his timeline more than any past companion. Without her, the Great Intelligence would have consumed The Doctor altogether. Without Clara, the Daleks would have destroyed Christmas and all of Trenzalore with it. Without her, there would be no more Doctor at all. Beyond these direct actions, she's always there, whispering influences. She was there to tell him which TARDIS to take. She was there at a million, billion, impossible instances saving the Doctor over and over. And she was there at his bedside to quiet his boyhood fears. Every companion has their moniker. Amy was the Girl Who Waited, which you sort of forget by the end, but we aren't given even a few episodes to forget that Clara will always be The Impossible Girl, you know, doing all of these timey wimey wonderful things.
"Listen": When The Doctor is spitballing to himself like the madman he is, he believes he discovers a type of creature living in the shadows of the universe, one that attaches to living beings and causes the same nightmare that has been mentioned across time and space. Wait. Moffat: is it the monsters causing the nightmare? Or did the Doctor project his "nightmare" real life experience through the time vortex in some timey wimey way? Was any of that really there? Hmm?
Moffat, intentionally or not, fails to answer our questions in order illustrate the point that mystery is more powerful than certainty. This is more than a truth in storytelling. It is a fact of life. Though the episode never really addresses what was actually under that blanket or what actually was turning off TV's and writing the word "LISTEN" in chalk, it comes around to the eventual point quite clearly that none of that really matters. What DOES matter is that long ago there was a scared boy on Gallifrey that was afraid of the dark. They never thought he'd make Time Lord. And if the former headmaster of Hogwarts imparted any wisdom upon us at all, then it comes with his erudite assessment that "It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more." The Doctor is a man that yearns for knowledge, to know things for certain and to understand the way things work. It's for that reason that he risks his own life halfway through this episode just to see if those creatures are really there at the end of the universe.
Certainty is worth more than safety to him.
Clara is his foil in this. Compassion is paramount for her, proving that a kind heart can sometimes save a hungry mind in the direst of circumstances, thus illustrating the point that a Hufflepuff can actually sometimes trump a Ravenclaw…in some things
I apologize. Two Harry potter references is probably too much.
The Doctor's capacity to understand and his pursuit of "Goodness" define him as a man set apart. He's done a lot of bad things in the name of saving lives. Despite being a so-called Doctor, people have considered him a Warrior in the past ("A Good Man Goes to War") and his closest friends are willing to commit genocide in his name ("Journey's End") and even though Moffat would have us all forget what The Doctor did to Gallifrey as the War Doctor ("Day of the Doctor"), we shouldn't. This is a man burdened by guilt, who wept in the dark out of fear of the unknown, who's preconceived notions of goodness and friendship and most of all, the meaning of the term "doctor," define who he is tries to be. And who are any of us the people we are trying to be? He is a good person because he is a man, though Gallifreyan, who is flawed and imperfect, yet forever striving for an idealized vision of what it means to be Good. The 11th doctor, burdened by ego, was fancied by River Song as an "ageless god". He was vain, reckless, and flippant. That's why all his enemies came for him and why he let people thing he was erased from existence. But he wasn't really able to start over until he was confronted with the loss of Amy and Rory. Now, we are given an aged Doctor, much more human-like, grappling with the gravity of his existence, the darkness of his past, and most presently, what it means for be a "good man."
You never see an inherently good person trying to be bad. Why? It's only ever the opposite, or more accurately, imperfect beings struggling to fulfill the ideals they've established for themselves. This is true of The Doctor as much as it is for us. It's just as true for Danny and Clara on their overwhelmingly crisply written date. They're both awkward and overly sensitive and trying so hard to like each other and make it work but it just won't. It won't at all. Because she's hiding something and because he can't deal with it. He's got a past. She's caught up in a double life in the present. Do they have a chance at a future together? The answer? Only if they genuinely try, and admit all these things to themselves and to each other.
It's fitting that Clara is a teacher. Her sincere compassion is the kind that can alter a child's life for the better, sending reverberations across their timeline, if you will. She does it to a young Rupert (to be renamed Danny). The Doctor only further scares Rupert when a creature lurks on the bed. He's terrible with kids, probably because he's afraid that they'll realize he's still that same scared little kid inside, even though it's been a millennia. It takes Clara to comfort Rupert, (even if her tale about Dan Dan the Soldier Man winds up being a self-fulfilling prophecy that indirectly makes him into a killer…but at least that was an accident).
As a child, I too was afraid of the dark. The creaks were footsteps. The winds were whispers. Every dark corner hid a shadowy edge oto some monster out to devour me. "It's all in your imagination!" my mother would plead. I'd say it to myself over and over and over and over again. One day it just clicked. Everything changed the day I realized that not only were those monsters there in my imagination, but so were all the heroes I read about in stories and played in video games and watched on TV. They could stand guard for me while I slept! Tireless. Protecting me against the dark. The kind of power that can shape our lives and shield us from our own fear.
The toy figure of Dan the Soldier Man is the show's best use of symbolism to date. Not only does it forge the link between Clara and Danny via Orson, but it is at once both Doctor and Danny, as a symbol of what both men will become. A soldier without a gun. A soldier with a heart (or two), who heals more than he hurts but will never back down from fiercely protecting those he loves. Because of what happens throughout the course of the episode, Clara turns both of them into that. And how fitting that this symbol of hope given to both is not the neutered symbol of a soldier with no weapon, but a warrior so smart and brave that he doesn't need one.
Remember? "…they didn't give him a gun they gave him a screwdriver to fix things. They didn't give him a tank or a warship or an x-wing fighter they gave him a call box from which you can call for help. And they didn't give him a superpower or pointy ears or a heat ray they gave him an extra heart. They gave him two hearts."
It's episodes like "Listen" that revitalize the series by giving us an exciting new mystery while also delivering a fresh perspective on The Doctor's past. Easily one of the best in awhile!

By Al Jacobs
With 2004 firmly in its final quarter, its time to concentrate on what financial avenues are best pursued for the coming year. This requires some foresight, as the path ahead is not clearly staked with road markers. Of course, its always arguable that the future is uncertain, which is often used as an excuse for remaining locked in neutral gear. Fortunately, however, there are some indicators in play that can be used for guidance. Lets take a look at some of these.
The one guidepost that cannot be ignored is short-term interest rates. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan should have left no doubt in anyones mind that rising interest rates are in our future. As to how rapidly and to what extent these increases will occur can be debated, but they seem inevitable. And despite the distinction between short-term borrowing and long-term mortgage loans, there is a connection, ill-defined though it may be. For this reason, it behooves those of you with adjustable home loans to consider converting them to fixed rate mortgages while reasonable rates are still available. This is not just idle conversation on my part. I put my money where my mouth is recently by refinancing the mortgage loan on one of my major apartment complexes. It covered a set of buildings I purchased two years ago, on which Id obtained a favorable adjustable rate. Although the current rate stood at 5.1%, I refinanced at 6.125%, fixed for 10 years. Todays increase of 1.025% buys an assurance that Ill not experience the sort of rates I witnessed a dozen and a half years ago. Those of you new to borrowing have seen nothing but low single-digit interest rates. My memory tells me that it can be otherwise.
Before we leave the subject of interest rates, there is another matter to consider. For those of you whose securities portfolio contains a meaningful portion of fixed investmentstranslated as bonds or bond fundsyou must do some analyzing. The critical factor is remaining term, meaning the length of time until a bond matures, thereby returning the full face amount of the instrument. The rule you must remember is that a bonds market value falls as general interest rates rise, and the longer the term, the more observable this becomes. Thus in a period of rising interest rates, its disadvantageous to have bonds or bond funds that are long-termand this I consider to be anything more than about 5 years. So, now that you know the rules, you can decide what you want to do.
Let me now shift to a subject Ive long watched with interest, and that seems headed toward more of an uncertain future than ever before. It is the Social Security and Medicare programs that are funded together under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA), and that each year find themselves closer to insolvency. Several weeks before the start of this year, President George W. Bush signed into law the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act (MMA). With this enactment, a prescription drug benefit was tacked onto the Medicare portion, imposing yet another $400 billion obligation on the system over the next 10 years. Inasmuch as the assets securing eventual payment of benefits, presumably residing in the "Social Security Trust Fund," consist of nothing more than government IOUs, there are conflicting views over its soundness for future recipients.
As you might guess, I have some strong opinions on this subject. I expect the social security system to continue to exist, but that profound changes are in store. Its current function of robbing youthful Peter to pay elderly Paul will gradually phase out, to be replaced by a system in which means testing, and eventually assets exclusion, will convert it into a simple welfare system. Within a generation, only those who qualify as needy will receive benefits. The real pity, of course, is that todays young and middle age, middle class, middle income, citizens are being bled to death to sustain a fiction from which they will receive, at best, a pittance.
Ill conclude this subject with a pair of commentsdepressing for some, but encouraging for others. The disconcerting part is that for most of you, there is nothing you can do about it. You working Americans who receive salary or wages will continue to finance this system through the FICA taxes taken involuntarily from your pay. Im sorry, but this is the way it is. The only good news is that for a small portion of you, generally the self-employed with a certain amount of investment or non-earnings income, there is a loophole that enables you to opt out, either fully or partially. Anyone interested may find the details in Chapter 8 of my book Nobodys Fool: A Skeptics Guide to Prosperity. For a summary of what the book contains, youre invited to visit www.onthemoneytrail.com.

SAGA Tool Chains capability allows multiple modules to be joined together to automate and speed up complex processing sequences. Tool chains are similar to the ARC-Map model builder however instead of a graphic interface SAGA uses an xml file to join processing modules. The easiest way to start creating a tool chain is through exporting a files processing history as an xml file then editing it in Notepad ++. The process is quite easy and, as you get the hang of building chain tools, you'll find them incredibly usefull.
The SAGA team have created a number of Chain Tools that you can investigate to get an idea of how they work. You will find them in the '\modules\toolchains' folder of your SAGA installation. As I refine some of the tool chains I have been working on I'll post them here.
I have created a short video tutorial for creating a simple tool chain for processing elevation data. The example produces a catchment area polygon file and a high erosion risk grid based on a LS Factor analysis.
I have created a couple of tool chains to automate travel time scenario modelling. You can download these tool chains and access a tutorial material about how to use them here.

Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick.
What Lou doesn't know is she's about to lose her job or that knowing what's coming is what keeps her sane.
Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he's going to put a stop to that.
What Will doesn't know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of colour. And neither of them knows they're going to change the other for all time.
This book was so good. Honestly, I knew the ending before i even started reading this book and i spoiled it for myself (i read the synopsis for second book by accident). I wasn't expecting anything to surprise me since i already knew what was going to happen but the author surprised me and that doesn't happen very often because my mind always starts working on what the plot twists will be while i'm reading a book.
If you haven't read it already and you're thinking it's going to be a boring book, JUST READ IT, please. It's a really amazing book and it taught me so much about life and how you should live it. After finding out the ending i thought i knew what the story is going to be but it wasn't that at all.
The book is actually fun to read and i connected with the characters. Yes it does makes you sad but it also gives you so many life lessons. When the story starts, it makes you feel that it's such a fun and light read and it gradually shifts the mood towards the end.
Following Lou on this journey was really great and the book also tells the story from some other character's POV which was good. It was nice to get some insight on what other people were thinking and what their state of mind was. The ending wasn't a happy one but i'm not disappointed. It ended the way it should've been.
Regardless to say, i cried (a lot) but it was worth it.
I liked Louisa's character very much. She was so much fun. Will was quite opposite to Lou as he was more outgoing but i still loved him.
The plot was very realistic. I loved it. You don't get to read stories like these very often.
I liked the insight on the quadriplegic community. It's sad to know how many people suffer from it and how other people treat them.
My favorite quote from the book is: "Just live well, Just live".
Character development was very good. All of the characters were unique, real and relatable. Lou and Will were fun to read about but other characters also stood out like Lou's sister Treena and Will's caretaker Nathan.
I really liked the sisterly bond between Lou and Treena. The author mentioned so many little details of their relationship like Treena taking Lou's clothes without telling her (my sister does that to me). Lou's rest of the family members were also very lovable.

Architect Doug Roberts (Paul Newman) arrives at the opening party of a new 138-story building in San Francisco, but parts of it are poorly constructed and when a fire breaks out the party becomes a death trap. Along with The Poseidon Adventure (1972), this is the most cherished disaster movie of the decade. It has an all-star cast (where Fred Astaire is the standout as an old con man), lots of fiery visual effects and a certain sense of wonder. The cold-blooded approach to killing off people in gruesome ways is something one has to live with… but it's harder to accept the bland writing and long running time.

An educational innovation
is brewing on Chicago's South Side. This week, Dennis Roberson,
55, the new vice provost of IIT, will unveil a hybrid degree program
for undergraduates that merges technology with business.
Dubbed the "Techno-Business
Program," the effort aims to prepare undergraduates for tomorrow's
job market.
"Technology companies
need graduates with more than just a solid background in business,"
says Roberson, former Motorola executive vice president and chief
technology officer. "They need graduates who bring a respect
for and critical understanding of technology." He believes
his new program will produce the kinds of graduates industry leaders
Roberson aims to make
the curriculum rigorous in the classroom while creating lots of
opportunities for live interaction with companies and executives.
He expects a few student-led start-up companies will emerge.
Roberson's supporters
include IIT President Lew Collens, who adds, "We're working
hard to click with a new generation of students, creating degrees
and programs that respond to a changing world."
If you're a high school
math and science whiz with an eye toward a career in business,

Pat Spain, 51, is doing it again. Spain is a founder of Hoover's
Online, the successful business-intelligence service that he sold
for $119 million in September to Dun & Bradstreet.
Now he's turning the
lights on at a new company, Highbeam.com, located at 360 N. Michigan
"We're helping
people become better online researchers," says Spain. With
an e-library of 28 million documents from 2,600 sources and updated
daily, Highbeam aims to give ordinary consumers access to sophisticated,
online research capabilities at an affordable price. Spain reports
that 4.5 million unique visitors use the free parts of his site
each month, with 40,000 paying subscribers signed up so far.
"We've raised
$4.3 million in capital. There are angels in town and several
were very generous," says Spain, who put up capital of his
own. His VCs include Chicago's Prism Opportunity Fund and Connecticut-based
1to1 Venture Partners.
Spain got his start
in research studying ancient Roman history at the University of
Chicago. In 1990, he and classmates Gary Hoover and Alan Chai
hatched the idea of putting corporate financial information into
the hands of everyday users. Their first attempt, a $20 print
volume, flopped. Spain decided to publish on the fledgling Internet.
Hoover's Online was born. The rest is Internet history. Now Spain's
writing a second chapter.
Capital's phone is ringing
Ryan Kuhn,
55, founder of Kuhn Capital, a local M&A advisory shop launched
in 1986, says, "It's often cheaper to buy than to grow organically."
Lately Kuhn's phone is ringing, suggesting a marketplace uptick.
Kuhn specializes in
advising firms doing transactions in the $10 million to $50 million
range. He credits the recent rise in tech company valuations and
cheap money for increased deal activity.
"For buyer's,
it's cheaper to use money than stock," Kuhn says. "On
the seller side, there are a lot of guys who are weary having
survived the downturn. They're older. They've got customer pipelines
that support higher valuations."
The upshot is more
Kuhn's advice for local
tech entrepreneurs: "Look around the Midwest. There are thousands
of manufacturing companies under pressure to use the latest technology
to make and distribute their wares," and Chicago is a great
test bed.

While much of the attention on Capitol Hill was focused on the Senate, where Republicans are grappling to get a health care deal through the finish line, House Republicans on Thursday passed a pair of bills aimed at checking off one of President Trump's key campaign promises, cracking down on illegal immigration.
Kate's Law -- named for Kate Steinle who was allegedly killed in 2015 by Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, an undocumented immigrant -- would ramp up mandatory sentences for immigrants who are caught trying to re-enter the country illegally after being deported.
The No Sanctuary for Criminals Act aimd to crack down on so-called sanctuary cities. The bill would cut off federal grants from the Department of Justice to cities that fail to enforce federal immigration policies.
Kate's law passed 257-167, with one Republican voting no and 25 Democrats voting yes, and the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act passed 228-195. Three Democrats voted yes and seven Republicans voted no on the sanctuary cities bill.
Both bills were sponsored by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.).
Republicans who support the bills say they will help make America safer by putting dangerous undocumented immigrants behind bars.
By shielding criminal illegal immigrants from federal authorities, sanctuary cities are disobeying the law. Plain and simple.— Paul Ryan (@SpeakerRyan) June 29, 2017
"Security for this country has to come first. That has to be a priority," said Illinois Republican Rep. Darin LaHood.
But experts and law enforcement officials say the bills would actually make policing harder.
This week, the Fraternal Order of Police, the world's largest police union, sent a letter to House leaders urging them not to pass the sanctuary cities bill.
"The FOP has been very clear on this issue: we strongly believe that local and State law enforcement agencies should cooperate with their Federal counterparts," the letter said. "That being said, withholding needed assistance to law enforcement agencies -- which have no policymaking role -- also hurts public safety efforts."
The letter adds that it would be unfair to penalize law enforcement and the communities they serve because "Congress disagrees with their enforcement priorities with respect to our nation's immigration laws."
David Bier, an immigration policy expert with the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, argued the bill goes against Republican ideals of allowing state and local officials to determine what's best for their communities.
"This decision should be made at the local level. Police departments know how to protect their communities better than the federal government does," he said.
Experts also say Kate's Law probably wouldn't have prevented Steinle's death if it were in effect in 2015.
"That's one of the more cynical parts of aspects of this bill, to be honest," said Tom Jawetz, vice president for immigration policy at the Center for American Progress.
Lopez-Sanchez had been jailed multiple times and spent roughly 15 years behind bars for trying to re-enter the country illegally after being deported. But he ended up in San Francisco, where Steinle was killed, by the Department of Justice to be prosecuted for a 20-year-old marijuana charge. The charges were dismissed and Lopez-Sanches was released.
"If he had served a much longer sentence, none of these facts would have changed," said Bier. "He was served 5-year terms three times. If he had served a 15-year term straight through he still would have ended up in San Francisco because of this strange decision by the federal government. [Kate's law] is really not addressing the issue."
In fact, Bier says the law would lead to mass incarceration of more non-violent undocumented immigrants, and both bills would draw force police to use their resources to enforce immigraiton policies instead of going after violent criminals.
"Why does it make sense to prioritize someone who happens to be in the country without status but is no threat to the community over someone who was born here but is?" he said.
Jawetz argued that the bills would also undermine the trust law enforcement officers have worked to build with members of the communities they police.
The Sanctuary Cities bill could be particularly harmful to the police-community relationship because it expands the requirements for local law enforcement to report information residents immigration status to the federal government.
They could have a chilling effect, keeping people from reporting crimes they've witnessed or seeking emergency medical care.
"They (police) know that if they were to share this information with the federal government, their communities would have less trust in them and people would be less likely to report," Jawetz said.
Trump has called for a "deportation force" to round up undocumented immigrants, and although the two bills passed in the House don't explicity form a deportation squad, experts say they could be the first step of mass deportation.
"Roping state and local officials in to this process, deteriorating trust in communities, all of that is really part of the same effort," Jawetz said.

Livestock/Natural Resources
Cooperative Extension plays an important role in Humboldt's dairy and beef industries. When UCCE Humboldt began in 1913, there were approximately 850 dairy families and 28,000 dairy cows. The first UCCE Humboldt dairy program addressed dairy nutrition, and early dairy programs helped dairy farmers test their cattle, use records to maintain herd health, and handle disease-related cattle losses. After World War II, UCCE Humboldt dairy advisors held meetings and made farm calls to assist dairy farmers who were converting from milk production for manufacturing purposes to market milk production. Dairy advisors also supervised cow tester training and taught testers and dairy farmers how to understand and use computerized testing reports, which had replaced hand records. Importantly, dairy advisors also provided assistance to explain state law and government programs regarding milk production. By leading the way in milk pipeline technology, calf-raising programs, milk quality testing, and cheese manufacturing, UCCE Humboldt dairy programs have contributed to the success of Humboldt's dairy industry, which in 1987 was Humboldt County's largest generator (59%) of agricultural income. In 2007, Humboldt ranked in the top 6% of dairy-producing counties in the nation.
UCCE Humboldt continues to provide resources to dairy farmers. In 2007, UCCE Humboldt Farm and Community Development Advisor, Deborah Giraud, conducted a dairy goat economic study to analyze costs associated with operating a dairy goat business. In addition, Giraud facilitated the creation of the Humboldt/Del Norte Goat Milk Producers Association, obtained funding for dairy goat supplies, helped improve goat dairy practices, and started the first dairy goat auction at the county fair. In 2011, the UCCE Humboldt Livestock and Natural Resources Program provided significant input on the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board's dairy permitting process. In addition, UCCE Humboldt is a partner in the California Dairy Quality Assurance Program, which was developed by Deanne Meyer, the UCCE Livestock Waste Specialist in Davis. This program was designed to educate dairy farmers about waste management and help them meet water quality control board requirements.
UCCE Humboldt also assists ranchers through their livestock and pasture programs. Historically, many of the livestock programs focused on cattle nutrition, disease eradication, and forage and pasture management. Early farm advisors worked with ranchers, the Humboldt County Farm Bureau, and the Stockmen's Association on beef projects, including eradication of tuberculosis and brucellosis, calf diet supplementation using meal and salt mixes, and promotion of semen and pregnancy testing. Extensive forage trials have also been conducted by UCCE Humboldt, including experiments on grass and clover varieties, irrigation, weed control and fertilization. In the 1940s, UCCE Humboldt worked with UC entomologists and successfully introduced the Klamath Weed Beetle to control the spread of Klamath Weed, which had infested 150,000 acres of rangelands. In 1987, UCCE Humboldt experimented with fly ash, the ash by-product of biomass wood energy production, which was demonstrated to be an excellent pasture fertilizer.
In the 1980s and 1990s, UCCE Humboldt offered courses on ranch water quality to recognize the water quality issues that arise from raising livestock. The courses covered several topics, including sources of sediment in streams and rivers, and stressed monitoring streams and recording water quality improvements in annual ranch plans. In addition, these courses helped ranchers adopt sanitation practices by providing information on managing interactions between food crops and animals. Sheep-shearing schools were also initiated by UCCE Humboldt in the 1990s, and a new wool handling school is being offered this year. Today, UCCE Humboldt continues to assist ranchers through herd health seminars featuring talks by UCCE specialists and doctors of veterinary medicine and by providing information on pasture fertilization. UCCE Humboldt also continues to conduct research on and promote awareness of natural resources in rangelands, including wildlife habitat and weed management.

Needle... Haystack... La Ruchotte
Left, Frédéric Ménager and, right, lunch menu 24th March 2008.
Presided over by Frédéric and Eva Ménager Ruchotte has become a firm favourite in the years since and the style of cuisine there might best be described as 'refined hearty'. Frédéric worked for such luminaries in the French gastro firmament as Alain Chapel and Pierre Gagnaire before setting up on his own, so his credentials are impeccable. As are the simple yet flavourful dishes – you will not eat better chicken than at Ruchotte. The pork is also splendid and the ouefs en meurette are worthy of an article in themselves.
The menu is set and often features what are referred to delicately as 'variety meats', in other words offal in all its glory: kidneys, heart, cockscombs, sweetbreads… even at times some unfortunate ram's 'crown jewellery'. All are delicious but if you find them challenging adjustments can be made, so don't be put off.
Frédéric raises a wide variety of ancient breeds of chicken and has even been known to stage 'chicken tastings' where an invited group of gourmets chomp their way through a host of different birds. (Read more here.)
La Ruchotte is favoured by many of the top winemakers of Burgundy and the wine list always contains some eclectic gems, though it is not broad in scope. No visit to Burgundy is complete without an extended lunch here. The opening hours are limited so booking is essential. www.laruchotte.blogspot.com

This post first appeared on The Arty Semite blog at the Forward.
It seems that parody will get you nowhere with the Beastie Boys. The hip-hop group is not amused by the use of its song "Girls" in a viral advertising video by GoldieBlox, a San Francisco-area start-up that designs toys encouraging girls to explore science and engineering. (You've probably seen the video — it's the one with the adorable little girls who built an incredibly cool Rube Goldberg contraption.)
GoldieBlox, say the Beastie Boys in an open letter, has the right to fight to encourage girls to become engineers, but not to use their music for commercial purposes.
The toy company, on the other hand, thinks it has every right to put out a parody version of the song, whose original anti-feminist lyrics speak of girls who do the dishes and laundry (in the GoldieBlox version, the girls build spaceships and code apps).
It seems the start-up knew Beastie Boy members Michael "Mike D" Diamond and Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz (third member Adam "MCA" Yauch died in 2012) would not approve of its use of "Girls." The company filed a preemptive lawsuit last week against the Beastie Boys, their record label and producer, asking the California federal court to classify the video as an example of fair use.
Here's some of what the musicians had to say about GoldieBlox's actions:

I met Brady and his family recently at Oak View Park to celebrate his first birthday! I LOVE ONE sessions! They are so much fun to see the little ones explore and experience all things related to having a first birthday. With Red Bridge, that means spelling, cake and a bath. I do like to return kids cleaner than I found them; that has to be the girl scout in me. And I love coming up with themes for each session and making it very personal for each child and family.
Brady turned one in June and we had lots of green at the park. His mama picked PERFECT color theme for the day of blue and white. Toss in a red accent for his chair, his wagon and a hint of blue for the cake smash it was the perfect compliment for the day!
I do hope you enjoy some of my favorites from this great Raleigh child ONE session! Stay tuned for some highlights from the family session coming up tomorrow!

New People Performance Process
The People Performance process for 2017-18 is built on the abolition of 'Guided Distribution', 'Validation' and the 'Must Improve' rating and introduces:
- a rating process with four ratings – Exceptional, Good, Developing and Poor
- light touch sense checking instead of consistency checking and validation
New rating process
The rating process is summarised under People Performance Procedure 4.2:
4.2 The manager and employee should consider where an employee's performance falls in relation to these ratings, taking into account the descriptors and the employee's performance throughout the year against known performance expectations. The appropriate rating will always be based on a balanced consideration of the employee's personal performance over the entire period. Most employees will fall under 'Good' or 'Exceptional'. A team may have no one with a 'Developing' rating at the end of the year. The Good rating encompasses the widest span of performance: at this level performance could be verging on needing development or generally satisfactory.
Poor rating strictly limited
The 'Poor' rating is strictly limited under new Procedure 4.3 to those undergoing formal poor performance procedures at the end of the year at 31 March. This includes those still in the warning review period or those who have reached the end of the warning review period and have been/are being referred to the Decision Maker and the decision is outstanding at the 31st March Those who are in the post improvement period will not be included in this category.
A team may have no Developing ratings
A team may have no one with a 'Developing' rating at the end of the year. As the appropriate rating will always be based on a balanced consideration of…personal performance over the entire period this also means a team may have no one with a Developing rating at mid-year.
Good rating covers widest span
The 'Good' rating encompasses the widest span of performance: at this level performance could be verging on needing development or generally satisfactory.
Exceptional criteria
This rating covers Exceeded outcomes, exceeded competency and behaviour standards. No essential development necessary for employee to meet required standards for the role
Prepare for your review discussion
DWP has published guidance for employees and line managers for your People Performance 2017-18 end-of-year review:
- Your review should bring together the regular performance discussions you've had with your line manager, feedback you've received and anything you've done to develop yourself.
- Before meeting with your line manager it can be useful to carry out your own self-assessment. Think about the things you're proud of, what could have gone better and progress you've made towards your learning goals.
- It's also a good time to update and refresh your mandatory Security Code of Conduct checklist and make sure you've completed the new Security and Resilience e-learning.
- You and your manager should also discuss your proposed performance rating which will be signed off by the counter-signing manager
Ratings must be transparent, fair and reasonable
The terms of People Performance Procedure 4.2, and Procedures 4.4 – 4.6 are intended to support appropriate use of the new ratings:
- Ratings will always be arrived at based on a balanced consideration of the employee's personal performance over the entire period and decisions must be transparent, fair and reasonable.(Procedure 4.4)
- When reviewing performance over a period it is important to remember that minor one-off "blips" are ok and no one should be given a "developing" rating based on a low-impact one-off event. (Procedure 4.5)
- The Developing rating includes employees whose performance has needed essential development over part or all of the year to address under performance – either on outcomes (the 'What'), competencies and related behaviours (the 'How') or both. Development plans will focus on the areas requiring essential development to a satisfactory standard. The Developing rating is not appropriate simply because the employee is new to the job role, under Probation, an apprentice or on a professional accreditation programme. (Procedure 4.6)
Dispute unfair ratings
It is best practice to try to resolve disputes informally and only resort to formal action as a last resort. However, you can raise a formal grievance and appeal under People Performance Procedure13 but you must put your case for Management Investigation on form G1 within 30 working days of the original decision (Grievance Procedure 5.7). You may contact your local PCS Representative for advice, support and representation.

All you need to know about the Fraxel Laser
Fraxel laser treatments will allow the skin to show the brilliance that once was there. Anyone that has aged wants to turn back the clock and with Fraxel, that is truly an option. Fraxel laser treatments will help to diminish fine lines and wrinkles and are perfect at working on crows feet and brow lines. Sun damage to the skin can also be erased with a treatment. Some have issues with scarring, both from acne and other issues the skin may have faced. Fraxel will allow the skin to be free of scars. Fraxel is effective on Actinic Keratosis, which is a pre-cancerous skin condition that is very common. There are many areas on the body that can benefit from using this form of treatment, such as the face, around the eyes, the neck, hands, chest and arms. It can be used for stretch marks, liver spots, rosacea, loss of skin elasticity, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and melasma.
Fraxel is a non-invasive procedure that requires little to no downtime. It is simple and effective. Reversing the signs of aging has never been easier. More than 800,000 clients have been treated with Fraxel. Fraxel treatments usually take between 15 to 45 minutes. Most patients will see results in 1 to 5 treatments. Results will be seen, however, it does take 1 to 3 weeks for the full effect to take place. To enhance the results, avoid direct contact with the sun and wear a good sunscreen.
There are three types of Fraxel lasers. The first one, Fraxel Restore, is a mild form that is used to treat darker skin, scars, and wrinkles. Fraxel Repair is a stronger treatment that is perfect for who want the quickest recovery time. And Fraxel Dual possesses two light wavelengths. The first one tightens the skin and diminishes pore size while the second one treats pigmentation.
As with all facial treatments, there are possible side effects. Those for Fraxel laser treatments include swelling, redness in the treatment area that could be prolonged, crusting, scabbing, infections from bacteria, acne flare up, delayed wound healing, oozing, pigmentation changes, herpes reactivation, and petichiae.
There are many advantages to have a Fraxel laser treatment done. The first major reason why so many like this treatment is there is little to no down time at all. One can have the procedure done and be back to work very soon after that.
Fraxel has results that are predictable for each and every patient that uses it. It has cutting edge technology that allows for accuracy and precision. In most cases only topical anesthesia is used. Healing is accelerated due to the fact that the laser will penetrate the non-living outer layer of the skin, leaving it completely intact.
Treatments will be scheduled 2 to 4 weeks apart. Most cases require 3 to 5 treatments. However, this number will depend on the size of the area being treated as well as the condition the skin is in. A full face treatment session usually last about 30 minutes.
A mild sunburn like feeling may accompany the skin after treatment is done. There will be a pinkish tone to the skin for about a week after the treatment is complete. Any swelling will subside in 2 or 3 days. Over the course of the next week or two, the skin will naturally bronze. Skin will flake as the old skin is being replaced. Make certain to wear an SPF of 30 or higher several months after treatment and avoid direct contact with the sun.
Treatment costs for Fraxel do vary, depending on where you are treated and how large the area being treated is. It will also depend on the number of treatments needed. Please do note the since it is an elective procedure, it will not be covered by insurance. Our recommended Fraxel Sydney specialists are Advanced Dermatology and if happen to be in Sydney you can contact them on 1300 788 800.

But I do have to say this is the type of workout I have been looking for for a while now. I was sweating and felt like I was really getting something accomplished.
Our run this morning was a little bit weird. We did the first mile on the steps, which I participated in, and then moved on to the road. We had to mark the road for our first run tonight with No Boundaries so we had to stop about quarter mile and mark the road and stop at all the turns. Once we finished the first mile we didn't have to mark anymore and just got to run.
I also realized today that I needed sunglasses...so in an attempt to make Dave Ramsey proud I went to the gas station and bought a pair for $5.99. Needless to say they are not very pretty but they have the little thing on the nose to keep them from sliding down my face when I get sweaty. I actually bought a pair of glasses about a year ago that suck so I had to have a new pair.
Sooooooo pretty!
I have no more time to sit around, breakfast is down and time to head off to the office. I hope to get back on tonight and let you know how our first No Boundaries group run goes!
