I've been a bit stalled in my workouts. August 29th was the last one. I am ending that today. Once I write this, I am going to suit up and do a run. This weekend I want to go on a hike and take the family with me. I've wanted to hike since moving here nearly 17 years ago. I've sort of kind of half ass done it, but not seriously. I am going to do it now though, so I can do it at least once before the weather goes to hell.
I don't know what happened. I had some good momentum, and then just kind of stalled. I'm still struggling a bit with motivation, but it's an ongoing learning process, and I'll keep working at it.
Yesterday was a bit of a rude awakening. I went and did a glucometer training for clinicals and we had to poke each others fingers to use the machine. I was dreading that, because I knew mine would be high, and I really wasn't keen on any of my classmates seeing that, I will just go ahead and admit that now. And I was right. It was high. Really high. Not gonna say the number, just suffice it to say, I should probably see a doctor and deal with it, soon. I already knew I was hyperglycemic, but now I might actually need meds, and be full on diabetic. I mentioned in a previous entry, I think, that I had bought a book that basically advocates a vegan diet for controlling and possibly reversing diabetes. I have sort of read it in fits and starts, but after yesterdays shenanigans, I picked it up and started to give it a serious look. I am going to go back to being a vegan, and give this a try. I was vegan for about 4 months a few years back, and in that time I lost a lot of weight, and noticed a lot of other positive changes as well. I stopped though, and let dairy and eggs back into my life because I was really pitiful at preparing balanced meals for myself and so negative things happened, like my hair falling out and dry patches of skin and such. So this time, I will have to be much better about meal preparation and planning, and learn my way around the kitchen, and figure out how to effectively press ALLL the damn water out of the tofu before I cook it.
I have been sharing some of my struggles, and I've been sharing this blog with friends on facebook, in an effort to hold myself accountable and also in some way to seek support. The friends I have on fb are people that I feel fairly close to, for the most part. I don't just go around randomly friending people I don't know. They are people I know personally, and some that I've never met face to face, but have had extended interactions with them over a period of years that I met at another place. I know there are varying schools of thought about veganism, and I know that it's not for everyone. I am not going to try to rope my carnivorous kid into doing it with me, but I will try to feed her some of the things I cook. And I know it's a lost cause to try to get my husband to do it. Not even gonna go there. What I find frustrating, are the people who feel that it is totally fine, even funny to chime in to mock my lifestyle choice. I am adopting a vegan diet, at the moment. The lifestyle will follow. When I said that I was going vegan, one of my friends asked "What are your shoes made out of?" That was all she had to say. Well to answer that question, I mostly wear Chucks, flip flops and shoes made of man made materials, thanks. I do have leather shoes in my closet from shoe purchases over the years, but haven't bought anything leather in some time. That's not the point though. I am trying to make a healthy lifestyle choice, to try to manage and reverse a potentially serious disease. I am trying to finally step up to the plate and care about myself, and put my own needs first. I am also eating a little closer to my heart. I know that there are some things that I will probably do or products that I will use that incorporate animals, because it is unavoidable. But as far as everything else, where I have a CHOICE I am going to CHOOSE vegan.
I have had to listen to many and more jokes about vegetarianism/veganism over the years. I have had carnivores wave meat in my face and tell me, leering.. "you know you want a nice juicy steak". Other things cloaked in humor and called jokes that are at times quite hostile and derisive. I know that there has been this ongoing battle between vegetarians and omnivores, but I don't partake in it. I don't mock, dismiss, or disrespect anyone's diet choices. When asked why I eat the way I do, I explain my feelings and beliefs about it, and try to educate...but I never judge anyone. Why do others feel so free to judge me, or try to call me out as a hypocrite or test if I'm a "true vegan" by questioning my wardrobe choices? Is it a guilty conscience? Do they feel self conscious about their choice to eat/use animal products? It is just another in a long list of examples of singling out someone who doesn't conform, and I'm really kinda tired of it. You do you, and I'll do me. I'm kind of over laughing this stuff off, don't think I'm gonna do it anymore. I'm also not going to engage in facebook drama, but I am really a fan of the whole, if you can't say something nice... don't say anything at all, school of thought. Constructive criticism is fine, it can be delivered in a caring tone, and does't have to be mean. Too many people are rude and hide it under the umbrella of "constructive criticism".
As to the fear mentioned in the title, I admit being scared. Diabetes is no joke. I never thought that this would be me. I worry about the progression of the disease, I worry about this not working, and having to deal with the complications that come with it. My health has really gone to crap in the past few years, for a lot of reasons. I have read and seen that it can be controlled, even reversed, and I am praying to the god and goddess that I can reverse this with a lifestyle change...diet/lifestyle/weight loss and management. Support is welcomed, needed, even. Drama, not so much.
Rant over. Time to get sweaty.

Copyright © 2017 Albuquerque Journal
A woman and her lawyer husband are suing a private Motor Vehicle Division affiliate for denying her driver's license renewal because her Social Security card was laminated and, as a stay-at-home wife her whole adult life, she didn't have the required alternate employment documents.
Nancy Roehl, 66, laminated her card for her first job when she was a teenager in Hawaii. If she hadn't laminated it, "it would be in tatters now," her husband Jerrald Roehl said.
In July, the Roehls went to the MVD Now office on Fourth and Montaño with all Nancy's documentation in order, but she was denied, and the staff told them "Social Security on its website suggests you don't laminate the card" for security reasons, Jerrald said.
"But that wasn't part of the law. Somebody just willy-nilly said that's what we're going to do, and I thought that is completely improper," Jerrald said.
As alternative documents, Nancy could have provided the office with her 1099, W-2 or other documents from employment.
"She's a stay-at-home mom, she doesn't get a 1099 or a W-2, that's why I thought it was discriminatory," Jerrald said.
So he filed a lawsuit on his wife's behalf – and possibly "on behalf of all women in the state who are stay-at-home moms who have to go through this procedure because they have a laminated Social Security card."
A judge would have to agree to make the lawsuit a class action suit. A hearing in the case has not been set.
MVD Now declined to comment.
Meanwhile, the state Motor Vehicle Division, which sets the policies private affiliates must follow, is trying to figure out its stance on laminated cards.
In November 2016 – seven months before Roehl's frustrating visit – an MVD spokeswoman told the Journal that altered cards are not accepted at state and thus at affiliate offices.
That same month, the division changed its policy and started accepting laminated cards, MVD spokesman Ben Cloutier said last week.
But on Friday, in response to Journal requests for how that decision was communicated to affiliates, Cloutier said MVD has accepted laminated cards since 2007.
Cloutier said that MVD "communicated the policy of allowing laminated Social Security cards to MVD partners, first in late 2007 and again in early 2015. In 2015, the division issued a Policy Quick Update (PQU) which was posted on MVD's Intranet, accessible by all MVD employees and partners, advising that laminated Social Security Cards are acceptable."
He also said that MVD made an effort to keep laminated cards sanctioned as part of the Real ID Act, which is a federal standardized and Department of Homeland Security-sanctioned identification card.
Cloutier said MVD and affiliates don't check the security features found in the paper of the card, the parts of the card the Social Security Administration says are obscured by laminating. The MVD process at all locations is just to check the Social Security number in a database, and that can be done whether a card is laminated or not.
"We do accept Social Security cards that are laminated. We can do that because we automatically use a computer system," Cloutier said.

Professor James Reighcard Attenborough II: my mentor, teacher and the very reason I entered into this esteemed field of education and intellect. I'll always remember the words he spoke to our class upon his first lecture, looking out to a horde of bright eyes and eager minds. The autumn was still early into its life and, up until that day in October, Professor Attenborough had been away on a research expedition to the New World across the western ocean. He had walked into the room, his chestnut hair carefully combed back into a respectable style and his wire spectacles polished to a fine shine.
His professor's gown, however, told the testament of a man who spent very little time in the library. In those days, he was prone to wandering the university gardens, a little notebook in his hands, reading and puzzling at the same time. As a result, very fine tears could be seen around the knees, and a fine trim of dust rimmed the bottom of the black robe. It had been apparent to us all that he had been indulging this habit before the class had begun, and it seemed that he had happened upon a thought whilst wandering.
"To ye few learners amongst this mass, I have but one request. An uncanny request, to be sure; nay would I believe that any other such professor of this institute would demand the same of any of their students. For times will see changes in these years to follow, of this I am certain. The sciences of combustion ought revolutionize the very fabric of our world as we view it presently. The power of machines is to beckon a new age unto us all. And 'twill be met with opposition; aye it will. Met with opposition from the blind who pray to their gods for salvation and from those whom depend on the status quo. With this in mind, I demand only one thing from all my students: do not disappoint me in these precious times of change."
To be put simply, I refused to disappoint this man. As times would go on and lessons retained, I would begin to understand where Professor Attenborough's faith lay. He paid homage to neither spirit nor deity. He sought the council of neither soothsayer or priest. No, his faith lay completely and unerringly in the sciences.
Yet, he was a complex and patient man. Far greater than I in scope of his hidden compassion for the human race at large. He would spend no shortage of time attending to his student's inquiries of theory or objection, no matter how far of a farce their beliefs turned out to be. Indeed, Professor Attenborough would spend hours in discussion and debate with anyone who sought to peel back the layers of the fictitious world surrounding the natural world. I would be in perpetual awe that, no matter how convinced and devout his opponent, Professor Attenborough would bring them around to see the truth that they refused to believe with great vigor.
Even to this day, a few years beyond two decades later, I still hold this great mind in high esteem. Were I to possess even a fraction of his intellect, I would consider myself a fortuitous soul. And, might I be so bold to observe, I do indeed possess a shred of the brilliance in my mind.
To even add credit to my belief, I was summoned to Professor Attenborough's office one late afternoon shortly before one of my lectures were to commence. This was not an unusual request, initially; though upon my arrival I began to appreciate how strange things were to become. For sitting in a leather clad mahogany arm chair was a young woman bearing the strains of untenable stress in her eyes. I was introduced to miss Molly Sewyer, a maid in the service of Lord Forrest Alecksander Woolney, a benevolent sponsor of our great university.
The day was Wednesday, the 9th of February. For weeks, I had been determined to keep my mind from the mystery of Dentonn's Abbey, having been served a vicious conclusion to my investigation at the destruction of the old building. And yet, in the form of Miss Sewyer, a fresh lead would present itself. I was headed down to Professor Attenborough's office to deliver some freshly marked assignments and, upon my happening across his office door, I discovered that the door was slightly ajar.
I hadn't the time to wait for him to answer a knock, as I had a lecture to host in a matter of minutes, so I nudged my way in and proclaimed that I had the assignments he was in need of. Much to my surprise, there was a girl seated in his office across from him. She didn't appear to be a student; she bore the wears of one who worked with her hands for a living and her dress was that of the lower middle class. Her round face was encompassed with a pale blue bonnet, its colour doing much to draw a great deal of attention to the dark markings below her eyes.
To be honest, I was a tad ashamed. It had been a long while since I had last interrupted a meeting of his, and I apologized for the intrusion. Much to my surprise, the professor invited me in and asked me to listen to Miss Sewyer's tale. Far be it from me to decline the desires of the esteemed Professor Attenborough; the little wretches from class could wait a while. It might do them some good: one of them might entertain a thought for once in their being.
It would seem that miss Molly Sewyer serves at the pleasure of Lord Charles Birmingham Woolney II within his mansion. She has nothing but fine things to say about the treatment she has received, and the payment for her services have been adequat. She gets along well with the other maids, though the Butler, James Simon, is something of a prude. Her relations with Lord Woolney are acceptable, that with his son, Sir Aleksander Woolney, marginally less so. In fact, her day to day life is, much to my chagrin, abjectly mundane.
Three months prior, however, she began to feel quite ill. At first, it was presumed to be a basic illness, and she was permitted a day of rest. She felt well for a time, but had a pressing headache all the while. A week later, and compounding on an almost routine basis, she has been feeling this uncanny sense of dread. It came to a head this Thursday past, when she awoke in the dead of the night surrounded by some of the other maids. She had leapt from her bed and taken to a shrieking flight through the halls, evidentially, collapsing into a maddened heap before the central hearth.
Of course, it goes without saying that she has been put on suspension until she can find reason for her experience.
Deciding that she needed to consult an expert, she of course turned to a local psychic for aide. Were it not for the divination this wandering gypsy provided, I'd have very nearly stopped listening and departed to my lecture. The psychic had consulted her cards and divined the word Dentonn as being important to her terrors. Upon hearing this, Miss Sawyer recalled that the university had experienced professors of history, of which the late Bishop Dentonn was now a member of, and resolved to meet with a professor to ask what it meant.
I now understood why Professor Attenborough had asked me to listen to this curious tale. Over one evening's cocktails, I had lamented the tale to him and we engaged in some light theories as to what it all could be caused by. Now, after I had very nearly put the strange story out of my mind, it came pounding to the forefront. All the memories seemed oddly fresh.
At first, I could assume that the word Dentonn had little, or more likely, nothing to do with Miss Sawyer's case. Unless, of course, we were to excuse the possibility that the spectre that had been haunting the old Abbey had found its way into Miss Sawyer's soul; which was total rubbish. The timing made no sense for that, for starters. The abbey burned to the ground barely less than a month ago, and I had definitely experienced some sort of stimulus during my limited time within that uncanny building before then.
I was… intrigued. An odd sensation was stirring within me, one I was not particularly fond of. Excitement, perhaps; an emotion I was not terribly familiar with as of my recent years. My life had settled into a sort of pleasant monotony over the past decade, and here came Miss Sawyer to shatter that feeling of calm.
Even more to my surprise, I decided I would look into it for her. If this, indeed, had something to do with my investigation into Dentonn's Abbey, this might be a new lead to the resolution of this unfinished tale I found myself in the middle of. A brief interview with the poor girl indicated she had not been anywhere unusual during the time of her growing ails, nor had she in the weeks leading up to the outset of the symptoms. It seemed that, whatever it was, it stemmed from the mansion of Lord Woolney.
It also seemed prudent to find this mysterious diviner who spouted the name Dentonn to Miss Sawyer in the first place. I myself had no interest in tracking this strange individual down, but I knew of one much more familiar with that world and much better suited to such unsavoury legwork. Gertrude had begun to make it a habit to accost the University to inform me of other strange rituals she was to perform. She would be back within the next day or so, and I would charge her with her task. I had no doubt she would prove to be interested in this development, and so would agree to help.
In the end, I returned to my office to research some other notes and lessons of interest to this. I had to be better apprised of the world I was to step into; walking into a nobleman's home with no knowledge of etiquette or background could prove embarrassing. Besides, a few new ideas came to mind, though I shall leave them from this article until I have some more time to read a few other encyclopedia.
All in all, I could say I had a rather productive day from that point onward. The same could not be said of the students I left behind to sit in confused silence in the lecture hall, however.

Do you believe in addiction? More to the point, do you believe that you are an addict? The answer to this question is super-important. Not for me; for you and for your chances of success at getting quit and staying that way.
Category Archives: Help Me Quit Smoking
Choose Life
Have you tried to quit so many times, in so many ways, that you just don't know what to do any more? Have you tried all the different programs, pills, patches, potions, and plans? Do you feel like there's no hope for you? Like the addiction is too strong for you to control?
Does it ever seem like you're not even conscious of buying cigarettes? Do you quit and stay quit for a week, or a month, and then something suddenly clicks and you're smoking again before you realize what you're doing?
Help Me Quit Smoking Cigarettes
If you're anything like me, you used to use smoking to cover up a lot of "stuff": as a smoker, there were a lot of issues I never had to deal with, because if they threatened to surface, I could always just smoke them away (in other words, I could always just bury them by getting a fix).
In the early days of my quit, I used to write about how I was "digging deep", and I encouraged other people to do the same; to look for those issues that we used to cover up with the smokescreen, take them out and look at them in the light of day, and decide what we wanted to do with them before they had a chance to sabotage our quits.
Why dig? Read on to find out…
Emotions and Smoking
When I was smoking, I'd light up a cigarette at the first sign of any strong emotion, whether it was positive or negative. I think it was my way of emulating a stereotype (the "strong, silent type") that I learned in my childhood (think of James Dean in "Rebel Without A Cause" or Bogie in "Casablanca" or John Wayne in pretty much anything).
The "smokescreen" gave me something to hide behind so I didn't have to let anyone else know what was going on inside, and I think that, eventually, it got so good at hiding what was going on inside that it even hid it from me. I remember many times getting into confrontations — especially in relationships — and storming away, lighting up, stuffing whatever it was I was feeling behind the smokescreen and pretending that it really didn't matter.
Of course, this didn't actually work…
The Realities of Addiction
In 1988, the Surgeon General of the United States, C. Everett Koop, released a report entitled, "The Health Consequences of Smoking: Nicotine Addiction". This report concluded that nicotine is just as addictive as heroin or cocaine.
Naturally, Big Tobacco denied that nicotine was addictive at all – even going so far as to have their top executives testify to that effect during Congressional hearings in 1994 – yet their own internal documents (which they were forced to release as part of the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement of 1998) show that they clearly recognized the addictive nature of their product.

When you use the term business sales pipeline, or some derivation of it, many people think you are simply talking about a list of potential sales opportunities that are tracked through a series of development stages. We think this is too limiting a view. It leads us to forget, or neglect, other critical elements necessary for sales success.
For our purposes we define pipeline as the support structure upon which your business development life-cycle sits. That means, if we are going to talk about creating and developing a successful, fully functional pipeline, we have to deal with all phases of the process. We characterize these phases as:

TV presenter Ant McPartlin has made the decision to step down from his television commitments and check back into rehab.
The news comes after the 42-year-old presenter was arrested on Sunday on the suspicion of drink-driving that in a collision involving two other cars.

Following the news, ITV has axed this weekend's Saturday Night Takeaway and will review their options for the final two episodes of the series.
"ITV has taken a joint decision with Ant and Dec's team not to broadcast Saturday Night Takeaway this weekend," the broadcaster said in a statement. "We will be reviewing options for the last two episodes of the series (March 31 and April 7) which would not feature Ant who is taking time off to seek treatment. We very much hope that he gets the help that he needs."
The Sun has reported Ant will be off television for the rest of the year. That means he will miss the live shows of Britain's Got Talent and the next series of I'm A Celebrity….Get Me Out Of Here!, two shows he co-hosts with partner and friend Declan Donnelly.
Ant previously spent two months in rehab last year for painkiller and alcohol addiction. He checked out of rehab and returned to front I'm A Celebrity in November with Dec, making it one of the happier moments for the two pals in recent months.
Ant and Dec just recently were voted TV's best entertainment presenters at the National Television Awards in January for the 17th straight year.
As of this writing, no decision has been made about the upcoming series of "BGT" as to what Dec will do or what decision ITV will make regarding the hosting duties for live shows.


text: RW Malone MD LLC is proud to have played a key role in enabling the enormous success of developing an effective Ebola vaccine within 12 months. August 2014, colleagues at the Department of Defense/Defense Threat Reduction Agency asked us to step in and help NewLink manage the project and develop the contracts necessary to move the "orphan" PHAC/rVSV ZEBOV vaccine forward quickly. We got the project on track, recruited our client Focus Clinical Trials to team with USAMRIID/WRAIR to develop the immunoassays, put WHO leadership in touch with Pentagon leadership to expedite the initial WRAIR clinical trials, recruited the government of Norway to help fund the clinical research, recruited a management team, and lead the development of the BARDA and DTRA contracts - yielding over 200M$ in resources. Those were frightening times, but now we have a remarkably effective vaccine, developed in record time. The US Army Medical Corps, Medical Countermeasure Systems (MCS) and the DoD Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) took risks and got the job done, on time and on budget, with little fanfare, and we were grateful to have been able to serve and assist with this huge accomplishment.

After an easy victory Sunday over the alma mater of Ryan Seacrest, the Cal basketball team travels to New York City this week to take on a program that produced Carmelo Anthony.
The Golden Bears improved to 2-0 with a 93-59 win over Kennesaw State in front of an announced crowd of 4,944 at Haas Pavilion in the 2K Classic on Sunday evening. Now the Bears step up in class with a Thursday matchup against No. 23 Syracuse (2-0) in the tournament semifinals at Madison Square Garden.
Cal is playing the Orange for the fourth time in six seasons, including the third year in a row. Syracuse beat the Bears 92-81 in Maui last season, 66-60 in the NCAA tournament at San Jose the year before, and 95-73 at the Garden early in the 2009-10 season.
Kennesaw, which lost by 47 points at Syracuse two nights earlier, provided the Bears little challenge. Cal was sluggish offensively early but held the Owls scoreless for nearly 5 minutes to open the game, then stretched out to a 41-15 halftime advantage.
Point guard Tyrone Wallace, who scored a career-high 22 in the Friday opener against Alcorn State, had another solid all-around game with 18 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. Jordan Mathews scored 16 points to go with seven rebounds, and Jabari Bird added 15 points and seven rebounds.
The Bears understand Syracuse and its long, aggressive 2-3 zone defense will present a much more difficult test.
"When we play that zone, we"ve got to be patient," Mathews said. "Last year we kind of settled for the perimeter shot. The key is to get it into the high post and play from there."
Stanford 84, South Dakota 73: Chasson Randle scored 23 points and Roscoe Allen added a career-high 17 to help the Cardinal beat the Coyotes at Maples Pavilion as part of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic.
Stefan Nastic scored 14 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and blocked three shots for the Cardinal (2-0). Anthony Brown added 11 points and 10 boards.
Brandon Bos scored 19 points, including his 100th career 3-pointer, for the Coyotes (0-2).
Portland 73, San Jose State 68: The Spartans (1-1) blew a 13-point second-half lead and lost to the Pilots (2-0) in overtime at the Event Center.
"We played really hard and competed," Spartans coach Dave Wojcik said. "We just didn"t make enough plays down the stretch, and they did."
San Jose State scored the first four points of overtime, but the scoring dried up and Portland delivered nine straight.
Jordan Baker led SJSU with 17 points, and Frank Rogers added 16.
USF 91, South Carolina State 52: Kruize Pinkins scored 16 points, and the Dons opened their season by routing the Bulldogs (0-2).
Kentucky 71, Buffalo 52: Trey Lyles lifted the top-ranked Wildcats (2-0) out of a funk with five straight points to begin the second half, and Tyler Ulis scored 12 points on four 3-pointers to help beat the Bulls (1-1).
Arizona 86, Cal State Northridge 68: Rondae Hollis-Jefferson had 14 points, eight rebounds and hounded Northridge leading scorer Stephan Hicks for most of the night, lifting the No. 2 Wildcats (2-0) over the Matadors (1-1).
San Jose State 119, Columbia 76: The Spartans shook off a heartbreaking overtime loss at Utah two days earlier and set several records in a rout at the Event Center. The 119 points and 42 made free throws are team and Mountain West records, and the 53 attempts are a San Jose State record.
Jasmine Smith led the Spartans (1-1) with 23 points and was one of five players to finish with double figures.
Cal 84, Pacific 64: Courtney Range scored a career-high 27 points and Mikayla Cowling added 18 in her collegiate debut to help the No. 15 Bears win their season opener in Stockton. Range made 10 of 13 field goals.
Boston College 82, Saint Mary"s 72: The Eagles (1-1) closed the game with a 21-5 run to overtake the Gaels (0-1), who led by as many as 13 points in the second half in Moraga. Shannon Mauldin had 16 points, seven rebounds and five steals for Saint Mary"s.
Santa Clara 87, San Francisco State 41: Sidney Rielly scored 25 points as the Broncos (1-1) built a 47-8 halftime lead in a rout of the Gators.

Ascension Festival of Music 2019
Ascension is proud to host and present a wonderful series of concerts beginning in early 2019. All concerts are at 4:00 pm.
February 3, 2019: chicago clarinet ensemble with john bruce yeh
The Chicago Clarinet Ensemble is in residence at Northeastern Illinois University and counts within its members some of the foremost Clarinets artists of Chicago. Founded by Rose Sperrazza, the ensemble ranges in size from 2 to more than 35 players depending upon the repertoire. Ascension friend Christie Miller and Ascension member Emily Marlow are both active members of the ensemble as is John Bruce Yeh, assistant principal clarinet with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Yea will be a featured performer in the February concert at Ascension.
The first Asian musician ever appointed to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, as well as the longest-serving clarinetist in CSO history, John Bruce Yeh joined the CSO in June of 1977, having been appointed solo bass clarinet of the Orchestra at the age of 19 by Sir Georg Solti. Two years later, he was named assistant principal and solo E-flat clarinet. He served as acting principal clarinet of the CSO from 2008–2011. Recently he has also performed as guest principal clarinet of the Philadelphia Orchestra as well as of the Seoul Philharmonic in Korea.
march 3, 2019: cellissimo
Cellissimo is the senior performing cello ensemble of the joint programs of the Western Springs School of Talent Education and the Naperville Suzuki School. All members of the group are students of Sally Grossand Alex Revoal. Currently, the youngest member is 10 and the oldest is 17.
Previous performances include participation in the International Ensembles Concert at the 2010 Suzuki Association of the Americas conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Cellissimo has also toured the Midwest and Ontario and have given concerts in Ottawa and Montreal.
Because the cello has a range of roughly five octaves, and can produce a variety of timbres and textures, it is particularly well-suited to same-instrument ensemble playing, sometimes performing ensemble music up to nine voices. Their repertoire ranges from classical to original mpositions for cello ensemble to pop arrangements.
april 7, 2019: john goodwin, pianist
One of the busiest and most in demand pianists on the Chicago musical scene, John Goodwin is a native of Birmingham, Alabama, and holds degrees in piano performance from Birmingham-Southern College and Northwestern University. He has been a featured soloist with many orchestras across the United States, including the Alabama, Shreveport, Beloit-Janesville, and Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestras, as well as the Chicagoland Pops Orchestra. His weekly Face Book post of short selections from the classical, jazz, popular, and hymn genres is a favorite of lovers of piano stylings, gaining more followers each week. His recital at Ascension will reflect the diversity of this amazing artist.
Mr. Goodwin is currently the Principal Accompanist and Resident Conductor of the Chicago Children's Choir, an accompanist for both the Chicago Symphony Chorus and Roosevelt University's Choral Program and is the founding music director and conductor of the Park Ridge Civic Orchestra Chorus.

They should probably become "should" requirements instead if there are indeed valid reasons not to follow them. Or the valid reasons are to be explicitly listed while making the requirement, but then you need to be exhaustive. I also noticed that "must" is inconsistently cased throughout the specification and that the non-normative introduction section contains a "must" requirement. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/Received on Thursday, 16 February 2012 09:47:46 UTC

Until recently Taupo district's waste went into eight sub-standard dumps. Taupo District Council has closed these sites. They now have a waste reduction strategy in place and a new well-built landfill opened in June, 2000.
For many years, solid waste in the Taupo district was disposed of into one large dump (at Broadlands Road near Taupo) and seven smaller dumps. Find out where the Taupo district landfills are on our landfills map.
By 1984 these dumps were recognised as unsatisfactory. They were filling up and could not take the increasing amounts of waste being produced.
The seven small dumps were not environmentally acceptable because of:
The main Broadlands Road site:
Changes needed to be made.
The Taupo District Council built a new, modern landfill on land next to the old Broadlands Road landfill. They have closed all the other dumps and built refuse transfer stations for receiving waste.
The new landfill opened in June 2000. It was built to modern standards and is managed to minimise environmental effects without being unacceptably expensive.
Waste is compacted as it is deposited to make best use of the available space and extend the life of the landfill.
To minimise the discharge of leachate it has:
Through the resource consent process, Waikato Regional Council has also imposed other controls. These include strict waste acceptance criteria to make sure no hazardous waste is dumped at the site. The consent conditions require regular monitoring of ground water quality and leachate. Monitoring will also ensure that the site is not being affected by geothermal activity.

Confusion is a word we have invented for an order which is not yet understood
Henry Miller
To the world, she had it all. A lot, at least. A handsome and intelligent man. Three glittering girls. A happy home. A passion for prose. And she knew this. She appreciated it. She thanked her lucky stars. But, the truth was, she plodded through her days, bright days, busy days, very confused. Confused about who she was and who she was becoming. About what she wanted and why she wanted it and if she truly wanted it. Her confusion was her secret, sturdy within, something she quietly cherished. But it rattled her also, making her feel scattered and slow sometimes. The landscape of her life loomed, gorgeous with greens and grays, and toward it she traveled, skipping here and stumbling there, but knowing. Knowing that there was a pattern there, a deep order she could not yet fathom. In her confusion, she flailed and she sailed, alternating between a shy smile and a slight sulk. All the while, thankful for it all. The things the world saw. And those only she felt.
Do you ever feel confused about your identity and your unfurling life? Do you think there is a metaphysical and existential richness in confusion? Would you rather experience an utter absence of confusion or an excess of it?

Stade Auguste Delaune is home to newly promoted Ligue 1 football club, Stade Reims who are based in the north east of France. Originally opened in 1935, the ground underwent a 4 year renovation period between 2004-08 where approximately €60 million was invested in making it a 21,684 all-seater stadium.
Stadium Guide
Stade Auguste Delaune opened on the 2nd of June 1935 with a ceremony conducted by French President Albert Lebrun with a then ground breaking 18,000 capacity which made it one of the largest stadiums in the country. This was just in time for the 1938 World Cup and Stade de Reims' stadium hosted a first stage of knock-outs match between Hungary and Indonesia (Dutch East Indies) round, with the Hungarian's winning by six goals to nil.
Originally known as Municipal Stadium de Reims or Stade Velodrome (Not to be confused with Marseille's), it wasn't until after the Second World War that the ground received the name Auguste Deluane who was tortured to death by the Gestapo in 1943 who sought his capture following his links to the French Resistance movement following the Nazi invasion of his country.
In the 1950s and early 1960s Stade Reims popularity surged when they won a remarkable five Ligue 1 titles (1953, 1955, 1958, 1960, 1962) and this most successfully period of the club's history required that the club expand the stadium in order to allow more fans to see the team play football. The construction of a new two-tiered grand stand along the side of the pitch of saw the club receive a record attendance of 27,774 although in the league it was set at 25,225.
Following on from a disastrous period for the club which saw them briefly return to amateur status as a result of mounting debts and mismanagement, Stade Auguste Deluane became run down and received no investment making it a set of incredibly outdated facilities. It wasn't until a return to The second division in 2002 that Reims had financial stability to rebuild the dangerous Deluane, and in August 2008 the club reopened a fully renovated 22,000 capacity Stade August Delaune.
Seating Plan
Below is a seating plan of Reims's Stade Auguste Delaune:
Auguste Delaune is comprised of four stands: Batteaux (Nord), Meano (Est), Jonquet (Sud) and Germain (Ouest).
Click the thumbnails above to enlarge an image of each stand and to read a more detailed description of each part of the stadium.
The Matchday Experience
Away Fans
Away fans are housed within the easternmost section of the northern goal-end stand. Spanning two tiers of roughly equal size, the visitors area is cordoned off by a strip of mesh netting to the west, whereas the access tunnel acts as a natural barrier between both sets of supporters in to the east – particularly to those in the lower tier.
Watching Stade de Reims play football at home today is a completely different proposition compared to what it was in the late 1980s and 1990s. Away fans today are visiting an intimate arena with flawless views throughout meaning that even with the "cheapest" or "worst" seats in the house, you'll still have a superb view of the action.
Best Pubs
Located within a relatively compact city centre the map below outlines four of the most football friendly pubs for fans – all of which are walkable from the stadium in under 15 minutes.
As an aside, Reims is one of the Champagne centres of the World boasting over 250km of wine cellars in the city along, with iconic brand Dom Perignon being one of the historical assets of Reims economy.
There are a handful of restaurants 5 minutes North of the stadium just across Pont de Vesle bridge including La Petit Basque, the classy sounding Universal Planet Pizzeria Kebab, Restaurant Le Piazza (not a typo) and snappily named Casa Presto.
As well as Champagne the local area is famous for its Pink Vanilla flavoured biscuits, gingerbread, mustard, vinaigrette, and the Bayonne boneless pork shoulder a must try dish.
Club Shop
Stade de Reims have one club shop in operation located at the stadium as well as an official online boutique. Full details are listed below:
1. The Universe Shop (Megastore)
- Address: 33 Floor Bocquaine, Reims, 51100
- Telephone: 03 26 88 91 83
- Opening hours: Tuesday to Saturday 10am 12pm and 2pm to 6pm.
Stadium Tours
The tourist office of Reims allows visitors and football fans the chance to go behind the scenes of Stade Auguste Delaune and discover the "secrets of the Red and White Chamber" by embarking on a 60 minute guided tour. With the starting point of the official store, and a free drink at the end of the tour, fans of Stade Reims are in for an absolute treat.
The tour costs €5 for adults and is free for children under the age of 16 when accompanied by an adult, with more information such as date and time of tours available by phoning the tourist office on 03.26.77.45.00 and via this page.
Ticket Prices
Tickets to see Stade de Reims play at home can either be purchased online or at the club shop/ticket booths at Auguste Delaune in the days leading up to the match (Wednesday to Saturday 2.00 – 6.00 pm) until they become sold out up to half time.
Pricing wise, Reims categorise their games based on three levels of demand, listed in order of cheapest to most expensive: Classic, Gala and Prestige.
The regular "Classique" matches start from €11.00 for Tribune Jonquet with the most expensive seats in Tribune Méano going up to a more than reasonable €32.00. For Gala matches, prices for similar tickets start at €14.00 and end up at €44.00, which again is pretty reasonable.
Matchday Travel
Stade Auguste Delaune, the home of Stade de Reims is located towards the south-west of the city centre of Reims, tucked behind the A344 motorway, the Canal de l'Aisne a la Marne and La Vesle river.
The stadium is nestled between the A344 motorway and the large Avenue D'Epernay which makes it a relatively easy drive.
From the A4 (E46) take exit 24 signposted as Reims-Cathédrale / Complexe Sportif and then turn away from the city centre, following the road parallel to the river/canal until you arrive at Stade Auguste on your right hand side.
The address for satnav is as follows:
- Address: 33 Chaussée Bocquaine, 51100 Reims
Car Park
It may be advisable to part away slightly from the ground with a host of options within the city only 15 minutes walk away including: Auguste Delaune Stadium Parking On Erlon's (650 places), Buirette (432 places) and Cathedral ( 565 places), City Hall (152 seats) and Gambetta (280 places).
This Reims Car Park website has a pretty decent map which explains better.
The main train station of Reims (Gare de Reims) is every so slightly Northwards of the aforementioned centre meaning that you can expect to add 5 minutes or so to your journey if you plan to travel by foot.
Gare de Reims is run by the SNCF (French National Railway Company) and others strong transport links to Paris, Dijon and Châlons-en-Champagne.
You can get to to Auguste Delaune Stadium using Trams A and B with Comédie and Courlancy being the two nearest stations/stops.
During the day, you can also get to the Stade by catching either buses 1,7,8 and 10 which will drop you off at the Comédie tram stop which is the closest point to the stadium. In the evening Bus lines 1 and 2 will perform the same function for you.
The closest airport to Reims is Paris-Roissy (Charles de Gaulle) International airport which is around 130km West of the city, and a 90 minute drive. There is also the Champagne-Ardenne TGV high speed rail which can do the job at a touted 30 minute trip, but take this estimated time with a pinch of salt.
The closest hotels to Stade Auguste Delaune are all less than 10 minutes away and accessed by crossing the Vesle river and L'Aisne a la Marne canal. Choices are Hotel Ibis Styles Reims Centre Cathedrale, Mercure Reims Centre Cathedrale Hotel and Rossillon Martine.
As the city is so small, there's not much advantages to be had by looking elsewhere on the map, unless you desparetly want to be on the doorstep of the station. In which case try Sejours & Affaires Reims Clairmarais Apparthotel.

With Jeff watching from the sidelines, we've got Jim, Karla, Angela, and Marjorie in a scene from TV Clicker. Here, Karla and Marjorie are trying to prevent Angela from chopping off the head of Jim's dog character. Must have been an "After School Special". The album from this workshop is now available. I was able to whittle the set down to 87 pictures. That's down from the original 234 (!) pictures taken. Yowzer.
We started off with a pretty small (for us) warm up group, but during the What Are You Doing exercise, we almost doubled in size. There were twenty people in in class by the time we worked on 1-Word Story exercises.
We started the scene work with TV Clicker. There were two groups and a whole lotta scenes. It was all pretty energetic, but let's try and forget the "Old Men Gone Wild" show - there are NO pictures from that particular scene!
We got in a set of Surprise Lines scenes and those were great. Good conflicts, nice character interactions, and the lines were worked into the scenes well.
We had our usual set of Irish Drinking Songs and then had a complete rotation of 3-Line Drills.
And we ended the night with an open set of Freeze Tag. Nice work!

Today's real wedding comes with two separate, but equally valid, trigger warnings: the first is that it's incredibly beautiful, and may result in you filling up your living room with Bubblegum Balloons, because they're just so pretty. The second is that Olivia and Paul's Jewish wedding day is deeply moving, and you may wish to grab a box of tissues before you read on.Read More
What's better than one gorgeous wedding dress? FOUR gorgeous wedding dresses, that's what! That's just one of the many wow-factor details of Cher and Tim's Jew-ish wedding set in the Tuscan Hills of Italy...Read More

Yes, it's difficult for a person to love himself, especially when someone has ever told him that he's ugly even when others keep praising him. But, we do not think why they called us ugly? Whether they were jealous or they were trying to fight and didn't have a claim against you.
Don't let the people who consider you their enemies bring you down. Don't let them make you hate yourself. Love yourself. You're beautiful. Wish you have a great day.

About The Artist
Angela DeCamp grew up in a standard middle class Indianapolis suburb. She spent most of her childhood sketching pictures of Orlando Bloom in her very private journal.
Angela's art training began with Herron School of Art and Design's Saturday School program.She then went on to receive her Bachelors of Fine Art from Harding University, Cum Laude.
Much of her work is inspired by relationships she's made through her arduous, exciting, tumultuous, and fabulous quarter-life crisis: Kisses stolen over frosty glasses of Gorkha beer in the Himalayas, thoughts and emotions painstakingly repressed during difficult, late-night conversations, as well as the isolating experience of connecting with others in a society increasingly disconnected from each other in sincerity.
The goal of Angela's artwork is to connect others with the world she experiences, and is unable to articulate in any other way.
Angela lives in Indianapolis with her cat (best friend) Athena. When she's not in her studio, you might catch her drinking manhattans at the Brass Ring Lounge in Fountain Square.

"Dreaming in Code" recounts the development of Chandler, an open source personal information manager (PIM) that's now been in development for four years. I have to admit that when I saw the project start date, I assumed that the book documented a rise and fall, and I was really surprised to find out that the project was still in development, but without a widely used release, after all this time. It's not really important though. "Dreaming In Code" is a journey, not a destination, and it was revealing to see that developers with great pedigrees have the same problems that I do on my projects.
There were a few quotes along the way that should have been worth saving, but in the end I'm left with these:
"People write programs. That statement is worth pausing over. People write programs. Despite the field's infatuation with metaphors like architecture and bridge-building and its dabbling in alternative models from biology or physics, the act of programming today remains an act of writing - of typing character after character, word after word, line after line. Tools that let programmers create software by manipulating icons and graphics shapes on screen have a long and sometimes successful history... But these have generally served as layers of shortcuts on top of the same old text0based code, and sooner or later, to fix any really hard problems, the programmer would end up elbow-deep in that code anyway.
People write programs
...Is programming a kind of creative writing? The notion seems outlandish at first blush. Any discipline that involves complex mathematics and symbolic logic does not seem to share the same cubbyhole with poetry and self-expression. Yet the programming field could learn much from the writing world, argues Richard Gabriel, a veteran of Lisp and object-oriented programming who is now a Distinguished Engineer at Sun. 'My view is that we should train developers the way we train creative people like poets and artists. People may say, "Wall, that sounds really nuts." But what do people do when they're being trained, for example, to get a master of fine arts in poetry? They study great works of poetry. Do we do that in out software engineering disciplines? No. You don't look at the source code for great pieces of software. Or look at the architecture of great pieces of software. You don't look at their design. You don't study the lives of great software designers. So you don't study the literature of the thing you're trying to build.'"
And Rosenberg's Law:
"Software is easy to make, except when you want it to do something new"
with it's corollary,
"The only software that's worth making is software that does something new."

2019 Mercedes-AMG GT63 S video review – can it beat the Porsche Panamera?
Can the new Mercedes-AMG GT63 S stand up to Porsche's segment-leading sports saloon?
The AMG GT 63 four-door is the latest addition to the Mercedes-AMG GT range.
Featuring a mighty twin-turbocharged V8 engine, producing 630bhp and 664lb ft of torque, the GT 63 is more powerful than even the sportiest variant of the brand's two-door coupé – the AMG GT R.
Earlier this year we went to Austin, Texas to try it out on the road, and to see how it fared in a few laps of the Circuit of the Americas.
While we were there, we attempted some of the local parlance. So enjoy the video, y'all (and sincere apologies to Texans everywhere).

James is currently homeless, but on the way to housing within the next few weeks thanks to a nonprofit in Asheville, North Carolina called Homeward Bound.
I asked him why he is homeless and he took a breath of cool March air while sitting in the sunshine on a street corner and said, "I have made lots of mistakes in my life – I have no one to blame but myself." He then explained how he has tried just about every drug known to man, other than shooting up heroin.
"I am laying everything with God – he can figure it out," he said while looking at the sky. "The way I see it, I came here with nothing and I'll leave here with nothing. Some people don't understand that," he told me.
With a relaxed look he told me, "I'm gonna be getting a place here soon and I can't wait – I can pay for it myself with my disability check."
Originally from Polk County, North Carolina, James moved to Asheville because it was a larger city that offers more services and help to those who are homeless. Polk County has a population of about 20,000 residents while Asheville has a population of 87,000.
As I walked away he stopped me to give me an address. "Mail me those pictures," he told me with a slight chuckle.

The internet is a busy place these days.
As you look around you it seems like every day there's another blogger, another Instagramer, another businesswoman doing EXACTLY what you're doing, talking about the same topics that matter to you, working with that brand you've been dying to collaborate with, or launching a new project - just like the one you've been working on.
Sound familiar?
I know.
Frustrating. Discouraging. Disheartening.
But what if I told you that it doesn't matter that there are other people out there doing what you're doing? What if I told you that having competition is actually a good thing and that you CAN still succeed and grow a following, a community, and a business around your brand - even if you're not as far down the path than your "competitors"?
How can I be so sure, you're wondering?
Because no one out there is YOU.
You are unique. Your voice is unique. And the way you talk about what matters to you, the way you share your message, is unique.
At the end of the day, it is your story that will resonate with your audience and make them fall in love with you.
By telling your story you will stand out online, build trust with your following, and position yourself as the expert in your niche.
I know, it feels weird, even scary to put yourself out there but remember... great things never come from comfort zones.
What do you say, ready to step out of your comfort zone?
Watch this short video where I share 5 essential tips to help you share your story.
Ready to share your story with the world and stand out from the crowd?
I would love for you to take part in the challenge I shared at the end of the video:
- Share a post on Instagram with 5 facts about you (fun facts or simply things people didn't know about you - no rules here, get creative!).
- Share the link to this post in the comments below so I can go and check it out and get to know you!
Bonus tip: Take things one step further and in your caption ask your audience to comment with one fun fact about themselves.
I've seen some INCREDIBLE results from some of my students and clients who have taken part in the challenge (like Libby who's post received over 300 comments!).
I can't wait to read your post! Make sure to leave the link below!

Recently, while meditating, I lay on a blanket basking in the California sunshine while soaking up the rays of God. I opened my eyes and hovering directly above me was a tiny hummingbird. She was peering down at me as if to say "I see you. I know you. I witness you." I felt her powerful presence and understood this was a holy moment. Her wings moving up and down frenetically, in a peaceful, purposeful way.
As I continue to lay still watching her watch me I felt visible, seen, and spiritually vulnerable. She darted to and fro, coming back to hover and look at me. This lasted for less than 2 minutes, but felt like an afternoon. It was as if time slowed down as her wings quickened and propelled her energetically. When she took flight there was a distinct high pitched sound marking her leave taking. She sang her song to me as she flew away.
I want to honor my loved ones in a similar way. I want to cease my frenetic pace, and turn towards my partner, daughter, best friend and parent and meet their eyes when they speak. I want to witness them for who they are, just as I felt witnessed by hummingbird.
Do I allow those I love in my life to sing their own song?
Am I able to witness others and appreciate them for who they are?
Am I able to sing my own song?
Am I able to be witnessed?
Are you?

Through numerology we can help create our destiny. The science of Kundalini Yoga shows us that we all have ten bodies, and we each have our own personal imprint of our ten bodies governed by our numerology. We all have access to all ten of our bodies. Knowing how to access your ten bodies on command will serve us in many ways. Knowing your personal numbers will allow you to harmonize your soul's expression. Each body has specific gifts that it gives you when it is strong, and certain deficits that will arise when it is weak. Ultimately the soul has lessons to integrate and gifts to express this lifetime. With an awareness of your soul's journey you can manifest your specific expression. During this workshop we will learn our personal imprint, and what we can do to help express our potential and give us the ability to live beyond the drama of karma and step into our dharma.

Mindful Agile Transformation
An organizational transformation is hard work requiring a
commitment from those within the company to let go of what
they think they know, their prejudices, judgements, and "old ways" of
doing things in order to create a new container from which we can
collectively design a future state.
Change requires leadership at every level…starting at the top. We're not talking about delegation from the C-Suite to proxy change agents…we're talking about leaders at every level actively participating in the
transformation of the company via a "leader-leader" model empowering
and enabling those closest to the work to make decisions and execute
Mindful Agile Coaching leverages experience, tools, and skills to co-create
and mature your transformation while weaving innovation throughout the process. What we don't do is come in with a prescriptive model, drop
in an Agile framework, do some training and expect an organizational transformation will occur…it doesn't!
"People don't resist change, they resist being changed!"

I've been very busy lately but its finally time to start updating what happened at Tacticon! This post will cover Friday and Saturday.
Friday September 4th was a professional development day in my District and it was a really long day. So when 4 PM came along I hit the road knowing that there was another long drive ahead.
This was also the Force Friday promotion. I hadn't really thought a lot about it because I was saving money for the trip so I didn't plan to look for any Star Wars stuff. BUT…I had seen on Facebook earlier in the day that the new Star Wars Miniatures Starter Set was to be a surprise early release on this day. I had read that people were finding them at Targets all over town. So, on the way out of town I stopped at the L St Target and, sure enough, they had them!
I impulse bought the heck out of it, but it did kick my wallet in the butt. Normally I would but this from an FLGS or buy stuff at the Dealer Hall at Tacticon. I'll just use this opportunity to say that the Dealer Hall at Tacticon was a complete waste of time this year. So, the money that I might have spent in the Dealer Hall just went to the Starter. I did pick up a necklace for the wife at the Dealer Hall, so it wasn't a total bust.
Back to Friday. I was on the road by 4:15 and met Jack and his family and Jim at Popeyes off the Highway in Lincoln for dinner. Jack III is a colorful dude and his quote for the dinner, after we said that Jaime may not be going to Tacticon was: "She's dead?". No, she is not. But he said it so matter of factly that it got us all LOLing. Jack and Jim and I began trucking out to Denver. It was an awesome trip. We hadn't seen each other in a long time and had a lot of Nerd Ground to cover. We talked about Mad Max: Fury Road, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, books, Star Wars: Miniatures, and just life. We even got a little politics in and it was amicable conversation. ;P It was really great conversation and made the 6.5 hour drive go so fast. We rolled in a little before Midnight MST, checked in, saw Lis and Jon and went to sleep.
I only had two games on Saturday, but that's because one of them was an 8 hour X-wing tournament.
The X-wing tournament was an absolute blast and was the most fun I've ever had at a tournament. The Denver group is really great. I posted on my squad earlier, but Jim, a top tournament player in the US, helped me to refine my squad. I ended up keeping the same ships, with some pilot and upgrade modifications.
So, I just swapped out Xizor for Guri and swapped the Blaster Cannon for the new Twin Laser Turret that just came out.
I played four games, winning two and losing two. One of my losses was pretty close. My opponents were:
Round 1: Scum – Firespray and Aggressor (loss)
I remember that in this match I lost an initial joust and then the Aggressor was able to keep out of range so that I couldn't get it. I had a real chance to win this one but dice didn't go my way.
Round 2: Rebel – E-wing/X-wing/A-wing (Win)
Christine is a fellow teacher, in her first year, and was great to talk to. She played a solid squad very well, but I pulled off the win.
Round 2 action.
Round 3: Scum (Firespray, Y-wing, Z-95) (Win)
This gentleman was a new player and played very well for having less experience. But, I pulled it out by staying out of his arcs a lot of the time.
Round 4: Imperial (Loaded Carnor Jax and Soontir Fel Interceptors and generic Lambda Shuttle with the new Emperor Palpatine Crew upgrade) (Loss)
My opponent is part of the Denver group and a really nice guy. I played him in the Omaha Regional. I'm certain that he's not a dishonest player but I think he may have been using Emperor Palpatine more than the card allows. It is supposed to be once per game round but I thought he might have been using his ability more than allowed. Its ok because I didn't have much of a chance in this game anyway. The Interceptors were basically nigh impossible to hit, although I was able to take out Carnor Jax. I should have gone straight for the shuttle and killed it first. It was also 4 PM at this point and I wanted to get some quality time in with DJ who had just flown in. We also had a game at 7.
I was very happy with my 2-2 finish. I got sixth place out of an original 14 and Jon got fifth. Jim won the tournament with four Y-wings on a coin flip (everybody was ready to be done as their wasn't very big winner prize support). I also went 2-2 at the Regional so my recent tournament showing has been very positive. Many tournament players spend a lot of time thinking about the game. The fact that I did well with limited time to plan or play is very satisfying to me. More importantly, I had great opponents who were all dedicated to a fun, intellectually stimulating experience. Finally, I flew it well. I didn't forget my upgrades and I only bumped a ship once. I threaded quite a few needles between asteroids and even surprised opponents with some gutsy placements near board edges.
My squad was pretty solid. Glitterstim and Twin Laser Turrets are going to be top upgrades moving forward. The prize support was nice in that everyone got something. I got a Tacticon 2015 range ruler, and alternate art Guri and Recon Specialist cards.
DJ and his wife Kathy and son Christopher arrived in the middle of Round 2. DJ is my best bud and I hadn't seen him in a year. He lives in New Hampshire right now. We got to hang out before the Savage Worlds game over dinner.
DJ, Kathy and Christopher.
Jon and Lis.
Rocky Mountain Savages is the Denver group that plays the Savage Worlds RPG, one of my favorite RPGs. It is great because it is a general system like GURPS and allows for any setting. We were scheduled to have Jim and Jack and DJ and I all playing Aliens: Colonial Marines.
We had a fun GM. We also had a player who, believe it or not, had never seen Aliens. It was even better in that he chose to be the group's Lieutenant and his inexperience with the Aliens world made him reminiscent of Gorman in the movie.
Our mission was to go to a colony world and rescue colonists. I played an Armorer who had a variety of different arms. The gameplay was pretty standard but the GM did some fun things to keep it exciting. He had silly string to represent acid blood, for example. He also had props.
In the foreground, you probably noticed a Pentel Quicker Clicker. During this game DJ and I traded my vintage Quicker Clicker for a late 1990s/early 2000s variant that he had. I had to throw some mechanical pencils in here!
Lighting wasn't great in the room. Sorry for the blurriness.
Jack takes on the GM.
The only downside to the game is that the GM used an adventure deck of benefit cards and they got out of control. His intent was to create heroic actions, which is admirable, but there were two problems. 1) We basically had unlimited access to more cards, getting new ones whenever we spent one and 2) I think adventure cards, when unrestricted, don't encourage players to be creative. They end up relying on the cards. Yes, there is creativity involved on applying the cards, but they make the creativity too easy, in my opinion, and remove the challenge. It wasn't a "bad" game by any stretch of the imagination.
I ended up waxing four xenomorphs in the game and it was awesome.
Oh! Half of our group won prizes at the opening convocation of "Savage Saturday", which Rocky Mountain Savages wisely decided to hold before the events this year.
It was a great first two days of the Con! My next post will highlight Sunday's games!

At Havelock we are in the process of gaining the Primary Science Quality Mark. Part of this has been to create a vision for science shared by all staff, governors and pupils.
Our science vision:
Our vision is that children at Havelock will learn the fundamental skills required in science to develop an understanding of the world around them. By giving them challenging opportunities to learn and discover through practical investigations that stimulate open discussion and questioning, we hope to create highly motivated, independent, and curious young scientists.
We have written a new policy that captures our high expectations of teaching and learning in science across the school.
Click here for Science Policy
The Edible Garden
We are very fortunate to have an edible garden at Havelock. This gives every class the opportunity to grow herbs, fruits and vegetables and watch birds and insects, particularly worms, snails, bees and butterflies. Miss Rundall oversees the garden with support from her enthusiastic gardening club members and every class has a raised bed to grow plants in the summer.
Every year group links the garden to their science topic as appropriate. For example in year 1 they focus on seasons so termly visits are timetabled to see how the garden has changed.
In 2017 we had our first 'crop' of herbs and vegetables which were used in our kitchen at lunchtime.
We have links with 2 local organisations; the local allotments, who arrange annual visits every year, and Wolf Fields Wildlife garden, who have invited year 3 to 'Pollen Parties' in the summer as part of their topic on pollination.
Resilience project at Kew Gardens
Year 5 children at Havelock were chosen to take part in 'The Art of Resilience' inspiring schools through science and art, connecting the shared values of the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew and the Commonwealth. The children not only had a fantastic day but were great Ambassadors for Havelock. They returned with some breath-taking artwork and a plaque which we will display for all to see and celebrate.
The following themes were explored throughout the project:
Climate Change
Kew Science
The Commonwealth
Empowering Women

Is now a good time to jump back into stocks?
If indeed the Fed and U.S. Treasury are able to free up credit and stabilize the markets, it's worth asking if now is the time to get back into stocks.
The fundamentals are well known: unemployment is high and rising; earnings and guidance are trending lower; inflation is modest; credit markets are improving but still constrained. How do the technicals look? Unfortunately for the market bulls, not good. Three technical indicators or hurdles would have to be mounted for the view from here to turn bullish.
First, although the Dow has rallied off it lows near 6,500, it's still within the range of a one-third correction from the 9,000 high at the start of 2009. That means the rally could be just a correction in a downward move, a classic bear market rally.
Second, the Dow's 50-day moving average -- the second toughest moving average to break -- is at 7,728. The Dow needs to close at least three days in a row above this key resistance level, and exhibit signs that it can stay above it, for a bullish indicator to be generated.
Third, our old friend, Dow 8,000 -- over which financial institution bulls and bears waged a five-month war -- must come back into view. If the Dow can close at three days in a row above 8,000, that would be another bullish sign.
Market Analysis: Therefore, the view from here argues that the Dow needs to overcome three technical hurdles -- break through a correction zone, remain above the 50-day moving average, remain above Dow 8,000 -- for the risk/return ratio to be indicate it's time to redeploy capital. Until then, stand aside and let the buyer beware.
