My Busy Week
Hi guys,
Very sorry I didn't have a post prepared for you this weekend. It's been quite a week. This started last weekend when my wife and I spent our Sunday afternoon pulling up the bushes in front of our house that we both hated. We had an idea for a rock garden to go a little more contemporary. As we were doing it we realized that it really made sense to extend it around the corner. Of course this meant more digging and raking, but we got it done.
Then Monday we got sidetracked from our plans because it looked like Hurricane Irene was bearing down on us. We spent the evening shopping for key essentials and making sure we were in good shape in case we lost power for an extended period of time. Thank God that we didn't have to deal with that. I didn't enjoy the last tropical storm that blew through a few years back and I'm not looking forward to living through a hurricane.
On Tuesday I realized that I was coming down with something. I developed a sore throat during the day which gave way to a lot of congestion at night. As a result I missed my workout and was out of commission on Wednesday as well. On Thursday we were glad to see that Irene was heading a different direction so it was time to buy our materials for the rock garden. Never underestimate the energy it takes to lift 46 ten to fifteen pound stones and 26 fifty pound bags of marble chips. Especially never underestimate it when you have to move them from the shelf to the cart, then the cart to the truck, then the truck to the garage. The marble chips were over 1,000 pounds alone each time
Since we had company coming over this weekend Friday seemed like the best day to do the work. But first I had to rearrange our living room. We were having groups of 15 and 16 coming over, so I broke the sectional apart and moved it against the wall and then brought out 2 tables and a desk to transform our living room into a meeting space. Then I went outside and started digging small trenches around the area to fit the paving stones in that we decided to use for our border. We turned them on their sides so that they would stand firm but still appear to be a traditional border. Edith got home as I was finishing up and we did the rest together. I have to admit, it looks amazing. I'll have to take a picture of it later and update it this post with it.
That was the end of the real work. You may be wondering why in the world I had 2 large groups come over this weekend. Two words for you: Fantasy Football. We held two drafts, one auction and one standard. The leagues are 8 and 13 years old respectively and are each loads of fun. For the last 12 years we've been on infringing on our friends Kevin and Judy for their hospitality and this year it was time to move to a different local. My spot seemed like the most central and most likely to hold the group.
I love the drafts. No matter how bad my teams end up doing year after year I still have fun running my mouth and giving people a hard time for their decision making under the gun :-). This year I feel good about my teams…again. Which obviously means I'm doomed to another year of mediocrity. Que Sera Sera.
So, I said all of that to let you know why I didn't take the time to write. Next week I'll be posting a blog on one of two topics, I haven't decided yet. It will either be an inspection of dominance as a personality trait or an exploration of the process that influences the growth of wisdom in the well aged. Not sure which I'll be doing yet, but I hope to do both this month.
Best wishes to everyone impacted by the storm this week.
Be Blessed

Foundational Gifts
"Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant."
(1 Corinthians 12:1 KJV)
"Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;"
(Romans 12:6 KJV)
The "Spiritual Gifts" article for March 15, 2016 discussed the general nature and purpose of God's Spiritual Gifts. These are given by the Holy Spirit to individuals and are to be used to further the work of the church for the good of the people. The 21 Spiritual Gifts found in the scriptures cited in that article can be grouped according to their application. One such grouping holds that the 9 gifts named in 1 Corinthians 12:8-10 are "Foundational Gifts" while the rest are "Permanent Gifts."
Some scholars think that the foundational gifts were given temporarily to establish the early church. The first two, word of wisdom and word of knowledge (verse 8), provided communication from God, similar to the Old Testament prophets, while the New Testament books were being written. The rest, healing, miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, kinds of tongues, interpretation of tongues, and apostles (verses 9-10), were miraculous in nature and demonstrated the power of Our Awesome God within the church.
By the end of the first century, the church was growing rapidly, the Word of God, the Bible, was completed and the apostles were all passed away. The Foundational Gifts had served their purpose and it is thought that they then ceased. Still, we have organizations and people today that claim to have one or more of them. Are these gifts still active today? We really don't know but we can test whether the purpose of gifts is being met. Are they being used to further the work of the church for the good of the people? Often it is hard to tell, it is up to Our Awesome God to judge, not us, and participation is optional. No matter what you believe about these spiritual gifts, the issue should not be one that causes a break in fellowship with Christians who differ in opinion.
LWBC is a Bible believing church that tries to live Jesus Christ's commandment to "love one another as I have loved you." (John 15:12 KJV) Join us this Sunday as we learn more about Our Awesome God and teach others from His Holy Bible. Our church starts with small groups on Sunday at 9:30 AM and Worship Service at 10:30 AM. On Sunday evening at 6:00 PM, a Bible Study meets for an hour and AWANA is held for children until 7:30 PM. We love visitors!

Another Immigration Fight, But Still No Progress
Yesterday we wrote about the tragic ICE raid in the district, so today we're turning our attention to the immigration debate once more. We are in desperate need of reform, yet Congress has failed at every possible moment.
The government shut down in January over immigration disputes. Then, Congress had an open week designated for immigration reform, a highly unusual move that was supposed to open up the debate. The result? Nothing. Just a few weeks ago, the Farm Bill fell apart due to another fight on immigration.
Now we've reached yet another intra-party showdown.
For months, the Republican party has failed to organize themselves or agree on any number of proposed immigration bills that would meet President Trump's "four pillars" for reform. As a result of this stalemate, Republicans are now at war with themselves.
Debates are continuing throughout today, but if there is no solution, some moderate Republicans have offered to work with Democrats to force a vote on the issue. Anxious about DACA recipients, who have been facing an uncertain future for months now, the House is planning to use a discharge petition, which can force a vote on legislation even if leadership doesn't allow it. The discharge petition needs 218 signatures; as of Thursday morning, it had 215. If the discharge petition passes, four different immigration bills are expected to be voted on.
Up until this point, Republicans have largely split support between two proposals: the Goodlatte bill, a conservative proposal that allocates a lot of funding for border security, increased verification of workers' legal status, and no pathway for DACA recipients; and the more moderate Hurd-Aguilar bill (also called the Uniting and Securing America Act), which offers DACA recipients permanent legal status and provides some funding for increased border security. The USA Act has bipartisan sponsors in both the House and the Senate, and earlier this week John McCain, still at home recovering from brain cancer, said he supported forcing a vote on it.
The crux of this issue is that some moderate Republicans, frustrated by party infighting and worried about the future of DACA recipients, have broken with the ranks to force a vote on this very pressing issue, even if that means siding with Democrats.
And of course, where is Jim Jordan on all of this? Jordan is avoiding any progress or compromise, calling bipartisan, moderate legislation "amnesty." As always, Jordan takes the most extreme, impossible position, avoiding solutions rather than proposing them.
Yet, lawmakers have failed for months now to find a suitable compromise on immigration, and DACA recipients have been used as a bargaining chip on almost every other major policy debate in the last six months. It's completely unfair for the government to manipulate the futures of young people in this way. Even the Pope has said that DACA recipients should be able to remain in the US, while polls have consistently shown that 70% of Americans support legalized status for DACA recipients.
It's time for Jim Jordan and the others in the Freedom Caucus to stop make excuses why other bills won't work and start contributing to solutions. It's time to stop cruelly dangling these people's future in front of them, and stop obstructing answer for the sake of political posturing. It's time they take some responsibility, and stand up for the values that make this country great.

Friday proclaimed Def Leppard Day in Hamburg
Hamburg isn't exactly known as a heavy metal capital – yet. But after Friday, who knows?
Friday has been proclaimed Def Leppard Day in the Town of Hamburg, by virtue of a unanimous vote Monday by a bemused Town Board.
Two members of the famed band, Phil Collen and Rick Savage, will be on hand to sign autographs for an hour at 1 p.m. at Music Exchange, 4514 Camp Road. The band is scheduled to play at 7 p. m. Friday at Darien Lake Performing Arts Center.
"It's a great opportunity to showcase the town," said Supervisor Steven J. Walters, who was 3 years old when the band formed in England in 1977.

'X Men: First Class' director set for new project
Matthew Vaughn is developing an adaptation of The Golden Age, a graphic novel written by Jonathan Ross.
The comic was created by TV presenter Ross and Tommy Lee Edward. It tells the story of retired superheroes in an old people's home coming back to duty to help out their grandchildren when their kids screw up the planet.
Deadline.com reports that Vaughn is currently in talks with studios about the project, and has some executives close to agreeing to fund the film.
Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicholson and Warren Beatty are rumoured to be potentially featuring in it.
Vaughn said: "You have these great star names and they're mainly playing supporting roles now. I want to give them the lead again and let them have some fun."
The director is currently racing to finish X-Men: First Class. Ross' wife Jane Goldman wrote the script for Vaughn's 2010 superhero movie Kick-Ass.

Gratitude Turns What We Have Into Enough
"Gratitude turns what we have into enough" says the sign on the wall of the room I woke up in this morning. What a great invitation to wake up to. Because in a land of Never-Enough, this idea of gratitude and enoughness seems so foreign. Think about it. What in your life do you really want?
Example: my car.
For traveling with the band i would really love something that we could all fit in including gear etc. Well we don't have the money for that right now, but what do i do? I go bonkers wasting all of my time on the worldwide intranets and at dealerships trying to figure out a way to spend money that i don't have. Yes it would really be nice to have a pimped out Sprinter Van that gets 24 mpg, leather captains chairs, grey or black, fits everyone and everything, and comfortably...oops did it just nerd out on you? This is not necessarily a bad thing for me to pray for, but what gets lost in my dreaming and scheming is gratitude for what i have now.
I go so crazy trying to plan the future that I forget the here and now. I forget that Jesus is enough for me whether I act like it or not. He promises to provide my needs, not always my wants. I have a car that runs, and so far we have managed to get by. I am grateful for what i have today. I'm grateful to be alive today! I woke up again! WOW I already feel better…
What are you grateful for today? Write these things down. It just feels good! Then ask God for the things that you're wanting and ask Him to change and align your wanter!
"Gratitude turns what we have into enough"

95% support better wildlife movement corridors in Bow Valley: Review
Respondents to public consultation on the future of wildlife movement corridors in the Bow Valley have clearly stated that they want a corridor around Canmore that is wider, flatter, and better for animals than what proponents of the Three Sisters Mountain Village (TSMV) have put forward.
This is according to a new analysis of written public feedback sent to Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP) regarding the Smith Creek wildlife corridor proposed by TSMV. The public comment period lasted from early March until April 20, 2017, including an open house, public Q&A, and written feedback. All written submissions sent to the office of the South Saskatchewan Regional Director AEP, Roger Ramcharita, were posted publicly on the AEP website and analyzed by Y2Y. This is the first time that public feedback on the Smith Creek Corridor has been quantified.
According to Dr. Hilary Young, Alberta Program Manager for Y2Y, "The public feedback demonstrates a good knowledge of the issues. The overwhelming impression that comes from reading these letters is that people in the Bow Valley are well-informed and passionate about wildlife. They have a good sense of what science tells us wildlife need, and they don't think this proposal meets those needs."
Of the 408 unique written submissions, 95% (388) clearly stated concerns about the wildlife corridor proposed by TSMV and Quantum Place. Aspects generating the greatest public concern include the corridor's width (explicitly mentioned in 55% of submissions) and steepness (50%), and the absence of a cumulative impact assessment of the Bow Valley's many development proposals (42%). Conversely, only five submissions (1%) encouraged AEP to approve the corridor as it is proposed. (Details about the analysis at the end.)
This overwhelming public opposition to the proposed corridor is consistent with scientific contributions to the public feedback process, including:
1) A substantial scientific review for wildlife movement from researchers Drs. Adam Ford and Mark Hebblewhite recommending a thorough assessment of cumulative effects and a hold on new development approvals until such an assessment is complete. They argue that "the pace of development proposals and many of the questions these plans trigger by stakeholders, is proceeding faster than the speed at which science can provide answers. This discordance between evidence and decision is putting both wildlife and the local economy at risk."
2) A 45-page review of relevant research prepared by Drs. Hilary Young and Jodi Hilty of Y2Y, detailing extensive scientific evidence that the proposed corridor is insufficient for wildlife. The Y2Y submission includes direct input from internationally renowned wildlife corridor ecologists, including Drs. Paul Beier, Nick Haddad, and Tony Clevenger.
"Our community has shown that they understand and appreciate how the Bow Valley connects wildlife populations in Banff and Kananaskis, with implications across the 3,200-km length of the Y2Y region, and they want the province to ensure animals are able to move as broadly as they need," says Y2Y Program Director Stephen Legault.
Rooted in the 1992 NRCB decision regarding developments on Three Sisters property, AEP holds the statutory decision-making authority to approve or reject the landowner's proposal for the provincially-mandated wildlife corridor. On April 26, AEP announced they required an additional four to eight weeks to make their decision. AEP is now expected to make a draft decision regarding the corridor proposal by the end of June. Those who wrote in during the public feedback process will have the opportunity to provide their responses to the draft decision before AEP makes its final decision. If AEP approves the corridor, then TSMV and Quantum Place may present their development plans outside the corridor to Canmore town council as an Area Structure Plan.
For further comment please contact:
• Stephen Legault, Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative, Program Director for Crown, Alberta and Northwest Territories, 403-688-2964 | firstname.lastname@example.com
• Hilary Young, Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative, Alberta Program Manager, 403-609-2666 ext. 104 | firstname.lastname@example.com
Details on analytical methods:
In Y2Y's analysis, multiple letters supplied by the same person, or multiple people co-signing a single letter, were considered one submission. The 439 posted submissions therefore represented 408 unique submissions. The 388 submissions expressing concern with the proposed corridor each stated one or more of the following: 1) that the wildlife corridor must be wider and/or flatter than what is proposed, 2) that the decision should not be made without an assessment of the cumulative impacts from current and foreseeable development in the Bow Valley, 3) a direct statement that the proposal should be rejected, and/or 4) a variation of the phrase "I am writing to express my deep concern with the Smith Creek proposal." If a letter contained non-specific support for wildlife but no explicit reference to the proposed corridor, it was not considered to support rejection or approval (i.e., it was not counted in the 388 submissions explicitly expressing concern). Therefore, even 95% is likely a conservative estimate of participants' concern about how the proposed corridor might affect wildlife in and beyond the Bow Valley.

Remy Said Lately (+Photos from the Zoo)
This age is SO challenging, 28 months, and we have experienced some serious tantrums recently, BUT, it REALLY is incredibly fun and sweet. It is the biggest mystery how this can be. One day, this past Wednesday, your toddler is screaming and moaning for ice cream over and over in public outside Union Station at the splash pad, and progressively getting more distraught, and now adding kicking into the mix, and there you are, one panicky and embarrassed mom, flustered, sweating, in a haze, who now doesn't want to cave because she said, "NO ICE CREAM," a hundred times and now you would be rewarding this psychotic behavior and now there is an audience and a baby crawling around who does happen to be enjoying herself amidst her chaotic mother and belligerent sister. So what to do? Well, the inexperienced mother, this is all me if you haven't figured it out, forces said toddler, Remy, into the stroller, I only had one seat on the two-seater, I gather up all of our splash pad falderal, scoop up Arlo and rush off, leaving our play date pal so abruptly. The plan? There really was none. It was a "fight or flee" moment, and this was me fleeing the situation. Where to go in the middle of downtown during lunch rush? Here Remy was kicking my compartment and everything spilling out, me walking as calmly as I could down 17th, apologizing to people gawking as they walked by. I found an alley a block away and ducked in there until I could calm Remy down and get her off the subject of ice cream. A kind, KIND man, thank you Mr. Help wherever you are, peeks down the alley and offered a hand. He actually said, "Do you need a hand? Seriously, I have two little ones..." I was crouched down holding Arlo on my knee as I dug through my beach bag looking for my cell phone to text and apologize to my friend or call my husband and ask his advice. No phone... no phone...I was so MAD, and so confused and so irritated at the whole situation and now on top of everything, I lost my phone! Remy was calm again as we strolled back. Once we were there, BOTH girls were happy again. Me, not so much. My friend watched the girls, THANK YOU, so I could rush around for the next 30 minutes looking for my phone. Asking the man tiling outside Union Station, asking the front desk at the Crawford Hotel, and finally the valet, YEAH, FOUND, it turned up at the valet stand! After that things calmed down a bit, but what a wild and frantic and stupid morning. Looking back, I should have just given her the damn ice cream and saved myself a LOT of headaches... My personality type is such that I hate to back down, give in, and probably very head strong, too much, to a fault as you see here. A ram, to a T. So, now that I am a mother, is THIS, is being a mother going to finally chip away at these horns of mine and make me a little more flexible? I sure hope so because it will probably prevent a lot of unnecessary ego roughness later.
Anyway, where I am going with is this- that one day, or hour, you have this toddler above, and the NEXT, the next half of the day, the next 20 minutes, you have this SAME toddler telling you things like this: "You're my best friend momma. Best friend in the whole world..." I die. AHHHHHH!!!! Toddlers are your roller coaster ride folks. Hold on tight!
So here are a few things I jotted down lately that Remy said, and then following, a bunch of photos from a trip we took to the zoo last Friday when it was nice and cool in the morning. BIG thank you to my sissy for treating us to that trip that day!
Today: Remy was sitting on her diaper changer after I changed her. I was kissing her and hugging her waist and smothering her and she pushes me away lightly, "Go away mommy, go away," I tell her, "Hey, that's not nice..." in a sweet, singsongy tone. She responds, "looking up out of those doe eyes, "You wanna cry?" YES! Yes, I do!
Later today: "Remy do you want some water?" "Sure! Oh goody!"
The other day at Target: We picked out cards for Baba's birthday earlier this summer, and our anniversary before that, and now, whenever we go to Target she wants to pick out a card for Baba! She's my little greeting card reminder! I did have a couple to look at. I mentioned to Remy that Arlo's birthday party was coming up and she would be getting lots of cards, as she did when she had a birthday. I always use these little opportunities to prepare Remy for all the fuss about to happen over Arlo's one year. So I suggested we pick out a card for Arlo together. She actually did find a birthday card for sisters. Eye level to Remy. She handed it to Arlo in the stroller, " Here Arlo!" Then she marched off and pretended to read one, "Happy Birthday, Arlo! I'm glad you're here!" My heart flopped over!
The other night before bed, Mazen asked her which book she was going to pick out for mommy to read and she answered, with her finger to her lip, "Hmmm, I'm just not quite sure..."
A few weeks ago, I was taking her to go potty on big potty, "I like your jammies," she said. "Thank you." "I like your necklace." Thank you!" "I like your brown eyes." Gah!
A few weeks ago we strolled to Starbucks, Remy was seated in the top seat facing me tis time. I told her I loved her so much, and said she was my whole world, she responded, "I'm your best friend! " I can't. She KNOWS this gets me too! Whenever we snuggle after story time, or after watching her Caillou at night and I am smelling her and kissing on her, I love to tell her how she and Arlo and Baba are my whole heart, my world, and now she responds with that. I hope she always stays my best friend, even when she's a teenager and hates the world.
Recently, my back was hurting and I came in her room to get her out of bed and I mentioned my back was sore. She asked to kiss it and then said, "Wanna talk about it?"
One evening recently Remy couldn't sleep. She was up, and up, and up again, and just not going to sleep. So we brought her down to sit with us while we enjoyed a late dinner together. We sat around the kitchen table. It was late at night and dark outside and the glow from the kitchen light made the window into a big mirror. Usually when it is dark outside, we use that as an indicator to her that it means bedtime. So we asked her to look outside and asked her what she saw, thinking she would respond that it was dark out. Instead she said, "I see a man, a man eating noodles." It was Baba, eating his dinner, his reflection in the window that she saw! So funny!
It's not all tantrums, mom losing her mind around here, we have a ton of fun and games and cuddles too. How about a little on Arlo now? Arlo had a HUGE day today! Her first year shots AND her first steps! I was folding laundry on the sofa, Remy was down for a nap, and Arlo was playing behind me. Out of the corner of my eye I see her, doink, doink, doink, right into the middle of the living room. I look at her surprised and shocked, happy as all can be, and say, "ARLO! Are you walking?!" She looks at me, gives me this huge grin, and slowly, controlled, squats down to the floor, then lays flat on her tummy, still grinning. I started to pay attention to her and left the clothes. I was on the floor and she was playing, and then, bing, bing, (wobble) there she went again. My phone was on the floor and I grabbed it and was able to capture some first unsteady steps! So exciting! I shared on Instagram if you haven't seen, @gschinagl. Life around here is never dull, that is for certain, and I wouldn't have it any other way!
And now some photos! If you get a chance, there is a cool Lego exhibit at the zoo, through early November I believe. Throughout the park there are sculptures made entirely of the tiny plastic bricks! Really neat! The day we went it was cooler in the morning and this got me SO excited for fall! I used it as the perfect opportunity to slip their tiny skinny jeans and vintage sweaters on! We actually wore clothes! Layers! Sorry summer lovers, I am OVER the sunscreen, the swim diapers, the wet suits, the sand in the sandals, and ready for dressing, like actually putting socks on and sleeves.
Happy, almost, fall! Have a wonderful weekend!

ORC: Family Room Wk 2- Bye Bye Built-Ins, Art & Other Stuff
We have partnered with Raymour & Flanigan and have received product in exchange for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own.
While most are putting built-ins INTO their rooms during the One Room Challenge, we decided to take our's down (partially at least). And I can explain…we never used the top cabinets! Never! They held a few random items that were shoved in during our move last August, but I can count on one hand the number of times that they were opened since. Now the bottom cabinets however are very very utilized- each one is jam packed with our toddler's toys, and we plan on keeping it that way. So, though the bottom half will remain, down came the top half this week! WOW does it make the space feel that much bigger! Originally I wanted to add floating shelves on either side of the mounted t.v., but now I may just want to leave it clean and simple, especially if we get a larger television!
Here's the before and after...
In other news, the furniture from Raymour & Flannigan arrived and man is it good! I ended up changing a few things from the original mood board so here's the new plan:
(Raymour & Flanigan furniture source list (click product for direct link) : Soto 5 piece Sectional; Artemis chenille patterned armchairs; Pryce dining table. )
Finding an extra large piece of art has also been on my mind this past week- and can I tell you how ridiculously expensive anything that exceeds 36 inches is- jeez! At first I had my heart set on creating my own, but monster canvases don't come cheap either! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will come across something I love while thrifting, but here are my backups (all are from icanvas.com) :
And because I don't want to bore you with too much info ( I know you're really just here for the pictures anyways-lol!) I'll end this with sharing the paint colors that we chose for the space- we still aren't sure where and how they will be used (for example, will the deep teal be applied to the cabinets or the walls…?) yet I hope to start and finish all of the painting by the time you come back to read next week's post ; )
Wish us luck and see you in week 3...
Love and Creativity,

Best Redesigned movie posters
Hello, all my readers!!!
Like me, are you also a lover of movies?? I am in just love with all kinds of movies and in other words, you can say I am a Bollywood style daydreamer. Though stories which are shown in a film rarely turn into reality, I deeply connect with it in my life.
The journey of cinema from the day of its evolution has come a long way. From silent movies to VFX, the cinema industry really has evolved. Around the globe, people watch a different kind of films which they love to watch and one such artist is Pete Majarich who with his talent is actually proving that he is a movie buff.
The Sydney based graphic designer did a challenging task of redesigning movie posters every single day of the year and named it "A movie poster a day" challenge. The whole idea of Pete behind it is to make the posters of a film in such a way that they can be easily understood by a viewer.
The redesigned posters by him look amazingly beautiful and you can have a glance at it below:
#1. Jurassic Park:
To celebrate the new year, I've made this retrospective video of every single poster from my #amovieposteraday project and Vimeo has selected it as one of their staff picks. You're gonna want to turn your sound up for this one. Ps – This is just a snippet. The full video is over at https://vimeo.com/197401359 (clickable link in bio)
#2. Star Wars:
Day 364: I had this idea waiting in the wings, so to speak, and when I learned recently that Princess Leia herself passed away, I wanted to do one final film poster dedicated to the Star Wars universe. It's not a movie poster for any one film, just for the saga itself. This poster depicts the storm troopers flying through space. #amovieposteraday #starwars #rogueone
#3. Little Miss Sunshine:
#4. Life is Beautiful:
#5. Predator:
#6. Transformers:
#8. Dead Poet society:
#9. The Wizard of Oz.
#10. 12 Angry Men:
#11. Inception:
#12. Batman:
#13. Juno:
#14. The Pursuit of Happyness:
#15. The Hunger Games:
Liked his art?? I truly loved what this artist did with his talent. If you want to see for of his redesigned movie posters then follow his account on Instagram.

Several years ago Mel Gibson starred in a movie called Conspiracy Theory about a New York cabbie who, well, thought the governement was after him. Ever since I saw that movie I've come to realize that I'm not crazy like I thought I was, but that the government really is after me. Well, at least the IRS, the SSA, the CPSC, the RNC and the Mississippi Institute of the Nonexistant Demented (or MIND for short). Now, I've come to find out from my anonymous sources that blogging is nothing more than a government conspiracy to get me to join a "Cult"! That's right mommas, don't let your babies grow up to be bloggers!
How do I know, you ask? Well just start a blog and spend your time with other bloggers and read their posts. You'll see. It's not the posts so much that other bloggers (who are part of the conspiracy) create as it is the subliminal messages hidden in between the lines of their posts. Oh, I know what you are saying. "J., you're paranoid!"
J. "Not I'm not."
VOICE IN HIS HEAD. "Yes you are."
J. "Am not!"
VIHH. "Are too!"
J. "Not!"
VIHH. "Too!"
Can you folks give us a minute here? Thank you.
J. "Mumble. mumble."
VIHH. "Psssst, hrmph"
J. "Biffledagle, shssh!"
VIHH. "Mumblish, shicklefirstish."
Okay, we're back . . . I mean, I'm back. Let's say for instance you access a blog maybe called Monkey Fetish and find it's not really about Monkeys. It's about the blogger's life, or their dating disasters, or maybe recipes. Then you hang around long enough and you begin to see patterns, recurring words, thought trains and pictures.
Take for instance the blog I went to recently touting exotic mixed drinks. I started noticing that the words Tequila, Rum, Garnish, Club Soda and Mix were used consistently, not in random patterns mind you, but in distinct consecutive, repetitive, thoughts. I picked out a recipe for a drink called the Singapore Single. I studied the lines of the recipe carefully and picked out the key words, then the letters, then arranged them in symetrical, non-linear quattrains of five groups of six. That's when I discovered something astonishing, a message that read "Be sure to drink your Margarita!" (Jean Shepherd stole that line from me. That's right he stole it from me and then used it in his story about Christmas).
Then another blogger (who shall remain anonymous because she obviously wants it that way) at fromlifeidletolifefantastic nominated me for four awards all of which I've never heard. A definite clue that blogging is a cult. Non-existant awards from a complete stranger who also happens to be a "blogger." How clever. Yep I'm on to the ole' government! They are good. They've got all the resources . . . money . . . ex-presidents, organizations with lots of capital letters, loose canons, lobbyists . . . everything one would need to conscript brilliant, unsuspecting citizens into their web of mind control!
Okay, so I'll play their little game. I'll go along with them, then I'll blow their cover wide open and then I'll be in control! Yeah, that's the ticket, I'll be in control and then I can go out and recruit my own little mindless minions, then I'll be King of the World!
Ummmmm, where was I? Oh, yes, nominated for awards for blogging. Must get serious. To start with, I must answer ten questions about me (the first clue to a conspiracy . . . as if the gov doesn't know enough about me already.) to satisfy the requierments of winning the Mrs. Sparkly's Ten Commandments Award. Here they are:
THE QUESTIONS (Am I really supposed to give "real" answers????)
1. DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN SEVEN WORDS: Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind,
Obedient (I couldn't, in good conscious leave that one in there), Cheerful, (Is that seven? 1.2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7., yes). Thank you Boy Scouts of America.
2. WHAT KEEPS YOU UP AT NIGHT: Barking dogs, my bladder and the men in black watching my house.
3. WHOM WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE: Steve Martin, he's one wild and crazy guy!
4. WHAT ARE YOU WEARING NOW?: This is a loaded question, right?????
5. WHAT SCARES YOU?: Barking dogs, my bladder and the other men in black lurking in my closets and under my bed.
6. WHAT ARE THE BEST THINGS AND WORST THINGS ABOUT BLOGGING?: The Best thing – The opportunity to be myself and remain anonymous. That way if you see me in the supermarket or on the street, you can't tell me how much you hate my blog. The Worst thing – There's no money to be made . . . like Naming a Star for someone and charging them for it. (Yes folks, there are morons out there willing to pay to have a star named for someone.)
7. WHAT WAS THE LAST WEBSITE YOU LOOKED AT?: www.conspiracies_real_or_imagined.con
8. IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT YOURSELF, WHAT WOULD IT BE?: Can I get back to you on that one?
9. SLANKETS, YES OR NO?: No thank you, I'm trying to quit. Besides, I'm an inny.
10. TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO NOMINATED YOU: She must be a nice person. She read and liked my blog once, then came back for more (a glutton for punishment, I guess). Then she nominated my blog which definitely goes to prove that she's nice! Thank you nice anonymous lady.
Please visit Aslankshaw to find out more about this award.
TEN BLOGS I'D LIKE TO NOMINATE (Again, Mrs. Sparkly's expectation of recipients):
J. "Wow this is amazing! Whew, let me catch my breath."
(J. looks out over crowd)
J. "Is my better half out there?"
(a shout from the audience) "She's in the ladies room!"
J. It figures. Well, we're DVRing this ceremony"
(a shout from the audience) "It's not on TV!"
J. "Oh. Well, this won't take long. Thank you to fromlifeidletolifefantastic's creator for taking the time to nominate me for this honor. It wouldn't have happened without her support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and I hope that I will continue to amuse and delight present and future readers. Thank you all!"
Please visit Workthedream to find out about this award.
Accepting the award for J. is . . . well J. "Please visit Believeanyway for more information about this award. Thank you again nice anonymous lady."
Please visit Peachypains to find out about this award. Thank you again lifeidle . . . . . .
You must know that once you are nominated, you've won the award.
Well, I think that I have fulfilled all of the requirements of all of the awards. This has been a lot of work as well as a lot of fun. I want to thank all of my readers (both of you) and I want to congratulate all of the recipients, you are all winners in your own unique way.

Well, I don't know to whom I should give the credit for the award graphics, but let's just say that it's probably one of the gov's cult members buried deep in the bowels of some non-descript building located somewhere in the capitol! Thank you anyway "government minion!"

Duración aprox.: 180 min
Sub-title is "The Battle for Northern Mexico, February 22-23, 1847" with artwork by Mark Simonitch & Stuart Rose, as well as assistance from Mark Miller, Gary Miller, & Mark May. The Game is contained in a ziplock with a 22-inches by 34-inches 7-Color Mapsheet, 100-Glossy Color Cardboard Counters, a Large Rules Booklet, 2-Casualty & Ammo Record sheets with a reduced planning Mapsheet printed on the reverse (1 for EACH Player), and Players will need to provide their OWN writing utensils & ORDERS paper, as well as at least (1)-10-sided DIE.
The scale of the game is 90 yards across for each hex, a Strength Point represents 25 Men or 1 Gun, and a Turn equals 20 Minutes split into (4)-5 minute impulses. A Game Turn Sequence consists of the following: 1.RAIN phase(only on Turns 27 through 31); 2.1st Impulse-a)Reinforcement phase, b)Command phase, c)Cavalry Charge Initiation phase, d)Tactical Movement phase, e)Charge phase, f)Simultaneous Fire phase, g)Shock phase followed by 3 MORE similiar Impulses as the latter detailed previously. Once the 4 Impulses are completed, then there is a Strategic Movement phase, a Rally phase, and a Mountain Skirmish phase rounding out the Turn. It is during the Command phase that Players will write out and conduct activation of their Orders, which require a certain number of Impulses before they arrive at their intended destinations.

For Once, a Chance to Be Proactive
Giant pharmaceutical and agribusiness companies have powerful and very well financed lobbies. They spend a lot of money to suppress the rights of citizens to criticize them, and to use products they fear might compete with their own.
The Alliance for Natural Health spotlights this often outrageous interference with our freedom to learn about and be protected from foods and products that may be bad for us, and to learn about and use ones that might be better. ANH follows news of both positive and negative developments, and sends out action alerts, letting people participate quickly and effectively in events that could seriously effect their health.
The link above leads to an ANH alert on some exciting pending legislation. It's a heads up on something that's going to happen - but it also presents an opportunity to be proactive, and build the momentum the law will need. Here's one way to participate :
Explore the link above, and learn about the pending legislation - it's a pretty quick read. Then subscribe to the ANH Pulse of Natural Health newsletter, to be on their mailing list. When the bill comes up for consideration, you'll hear about it immediately, and be able to use ANH's straightforward procedure to add your voice in support.
To amplify your efforts, also send a link to this blog post (cut and paste : http://livingwaterswellness.weebly.com/lww-blog.html ) to your friends, and ask them to support the legislation too. Given the massive power and money big corporations bring to bear these days, this kind of timely, creative public response to an issue may be the best remedy we have !
In the meantime, I encourage you to also look at the ANH homepage, and see what they do. Write them a letter, join the organization, send them a donation if you can. They do a great public service, and I feel they truly deserve your support.

One more hex and I'll have row 3 completed:
The objects in the background might give some clue as to what else we did last weekend. I couldn't work on the blanket while gaming because the pattern requires a bit more brainwork than I can devote while trying to survive a dungeon. Instead, I worked on the scarf my older daughter started for her friend. To me it looks more like a small blanket, but it's simple and dungeon-friendly so I'm not complaining:

The Lido is a Montessori Nursery School, just off Worthy Lane in Hyde and operates on a term-time only basis. Our Tea Club and Holiday Clubs work with our Nursery School to provide flexible, wrap around childcare for children from the age of 2 years between 8 am and 6 pm all year round.
The day begins for some of our children at 8.00 or 8.30 am when they join us for a yummy breakfast! Our other children join us at 9 am to start the day!
At nursery we follow a curriculum that is structured but that allows each individual child to develop gently, at their own pace, fostering a love of learning. Our Montessori curriculum (which is linked to the Early Years Foundation Stage) is well balanced and focuses on the individual child and their 'Learning Journey'

After reading some unpleasant findings about the state of the air pollution in London I decided to investigate cycling in a mask. I spend around an hour each day cycling and the prospect of breathing such noxious air was worrying me. Some time spent browsing the Internet later and I had a new Respro City mask in my hands.
The verdict seemed to be out on just how effective they were and so I decided to trial the mask myself, performing a qualitative study of sorts, to determine whether it was worth the money and the hassle.
Please note that am no way affiliated with Respro and they do not know that I am writing this article.
The Study
To perform my study I decided to wear the mask for a month and to record my feelings and experiences. I also decided to take as many photographs of the filter as possible; my aim was to track the colour change, if any, due to any collected soot or particulates. I attempted to keep the photographic conditions constant but inevitably some variation in the light level and positioning occurred.
Day 1: I find the mask uncomfortable and restrictive. It feels impossible to breathe through my nose, which is being pinched by the mask. I also have a cold and the entire mask feels clammy.
Day 3: after many adjustments I am now used to wearing the mask. I'm still unable to breathe through my nose but the pinching is no longer an issue and it feels more comfortable. The mask provides some welcome warmth on cold mornings.
Day 6: I decided to make a short journey without the mask (actually, I forgot it until I was halfway out of the door…) to see how different I felt. Less than 5 minutes into my journey I could smell the traffic and was aware of a cloying, slightly-choked sensation when riding behind lorries or busses. These smells are not entirely absent when wearing the mask but they lose some of the intensity and, without it, I was unhappy to be reminded of just how polluted the surrounding air was!
Day 10: wearing the mask now feels like the norm. I still catch my reflection from time-to-time and feel that I look a bit strange (the mask-helmet-jacket combination is a serious one!), but this is a fair price to pay for feeling happier about my ingestion of bus fumes.
Day 15: I find that the mask begins to fill with moisture after about 10 minutes of cycling. This doesn't make it any harder to breathe but it does occasionally drip onto my face! When I get home there are visible droplets on the inside of the mask – the one-way ventilation system doesn't seem to work as well as advertised.
Day 18: I forgot my mask yesterday and the difference was immediately apparent: I felt acutely aware of the traffic fumes surrounding me and strangely vulnerable and exposed.
Day 20: the mask remains comfortable and, in cold weather, I am grateful for it covering my face. There is a slightly unpleasant smell, however, despite my best efforts to allow any condensation to dry thoroughly and promptly after use.
Day 24: I've read reviews that claim cycling using the mask makes it difficult to breathe and that, when cycling at speed, getting enough oxygen can be tough. I've not found this and I've not been short of breath.
Day 30: after a month I find I am comfortable cycling in a mask. The filter is slightly discoloured (and more than a little unpleasant to look at) and I am convinced that wearing it has saved me some of the pollution. I think I will continue to use the mask in the future.
In all, I feel that using a cycling mask provides more benefits than it does hinderances.There are several notable demerits: the appearance can be sinister, the condensation that builds up a little gross and, most notable, the loss of the ability to breathe through your nose. However, as I've mentioned, I find that I am far more aware of the fumes and smells of the traffic when cycling without the mask and, whilst this is far from rigorous in it's scientific method, that is an indication to me that the mask is preventing some of the pollution from reaching me.
The photographs below were taken over 30 days. The final shots show a comparison between the filter I had been using an an identical, new Respro City filter. The filter comparison shots show some wear and tear and some unpleasant discolouration.

021015 Hello, I'm Shoe Obsessed. This is my Story.
When the very stylish Michael of globalgarcon.com tagged me to share my shoe story, I was really excited considering how much I love my shoes. So many of my shoes have a story but these 3.1 Phillip Lim shoes really stand out in my books.
I first saw these shoes in an issue of Elle Magazine back in 2012 and it was love at first sight! There was a photo of this fabulous editor wearing a black rabbit fur vest and printed pants. All I cared about was her amazing shoes!
For the next few months I stalked Ssense and Shopbop on the daily looking for this shoe. I didn't know what they were called. I just knew that Phillip Lim was the designer. Five or six months later they finally arrived at Shopbop.com and I nearly died. I ordered them right away and regretted it right after. I'd just paid the equivalent of 1 shoe in customs and duties. Ugh. When I finally got my order, I had every intention of sending them back because I felt so foolish about the import fees. But I didn't. I had waited half a year for these shoes and they were finally mine! I couldn't let them go!!!
The first day I wore them I was so happy but OMG did they ever hurt! Every step I took was brought on by sharp pains on the sides of my feet. I was crippled after wearing them for a couple of hours and I could still feel my feet throbbing later that night while in bed. To make a long story short it took a couple of years, (yes years!) to break these beauties in. Even now I can't wear them for too long because they will eventually hurt but I do love these damn loafers! Between the wait, the absurd import duties and the pain, it was all worth it.
Before Instagram I was a magazine junkie spending way too much money and time going through issue after issue trying to get my fashion fix. I think I saw the metal Phillip Lim Quinn loafer in an issue of Flare and my jaw dropped open. I ran to the computer to order them online. Ssense was sold out of my size but there they were on 31philliplim.com. UGH. More important fees!
For the next couple of days I obsessed with finding them through a Canadian retailer (with no such luck) in hopes of avoiding custom fees. I also googled the hell out of "silver shoes street style" to make sure that I was making the right choice for my closet. I ordered them and it was heaven until I wore them. What is it about PL shoes?! The Quinn loafers hurt for a short while but I persevered. I felt like a rock star wearing my silver loafers and I needed to break them in fast!
I'm so glad I got them because Phillip Lim hasn't released this colour since. The Quinn style gets carried over season after season but the finishes are always different. These have become one of my favourite pair of shoes and I totally mean it when I say every girl needs silver shoes.
My Phillip Lim collection now includes three pairs of shoes and two handbags.

I've posted several CS50 videos, to introduce you to coding in HTML and CSS.
I recommend you follow along in your c9 workspaces, and create the programs as you see them created in the videos, then play around a bit with the code to get a deeper understanding. There are many resources out there for both HTML and CSS keywords and syntax, and you can find these easily by googling for instance "links in html". I also highly recommend www.w3schools.com to learn or review syntax and validator.w3.org to validate your code, similar to the way you used check50 for earlier problems.
I've started with this year's lecture video which introduces HTML at about the 8 minute mark. It's quite long, and you may want to view it in segments, where David introduces HTML, uses HTML in cloud 9 and writes a few short programs in HTML and CSS. You don't have to watch it first, though it does provide a nice overview.
Below this are short videos on various topics in HTML and CSS.
Lecture Video
hello, HTML (Please note that in these short videos with David Malan, the previewing of HTML pages will work differently, since these were made before the days of cloud 9. To preview your HTML page, you can control-click on the program name in the file tree on the left and a preview window will open, as seen in Doug's videos below.)

A new facility is expected to open in Aberdeen later this year. Youth mental health report…Read More

Railways must exit catering business and focus on managing train services
A TV flash about a nail or a lizard found in a meal served to a train passenger is usually followed by a predictable official drill: Portentous announcements on termination of contracts, imposition of fines or the blacklisting of the firms. Disciplinary action is announced against officials found to be either negligent or for being in cahoots with the "rail catering mafia". Clear-cut action plans and strict timelines aimed at fixing problems are issued. Once all these are done, the gigantic machinery of the Indian Railways (IR) reverts to its…Read More

Real money for bitcoin
Another example. A year ago, a new client Monica approached us. She obtained a loan secured by her 10 bitcoins for two years. The loan amount was $3000. For the first year Monica's loan expenses was $1000 (which was about 33% per annum), while the bitcoin cost growth exceeded 600% during that time!
