World premieres by David Earle and Troy Emery Twigg headline MOonhORsE Dance Theatre's Older & Reckless #32
Toronto (April 21, 2014) Older & Reckless, MOonhORsE Dance Theatre's celebrated series curated by Artistic Director Claudia Moore, presents OLD & YOUNG AND RECKLESS TOGETHER featuring nine dance artists in four intergenerational works. David Earle, Troy Emery Twigg, Carol Anderson and Paul-André Fortier present their work from May 15-17 in Edition #32 of Older and Reckless.
May 15 is also our first-ever Older & Reckless Gala to celebrate the launch of our upcoming 15th anniversary season! This includes a pre-show reception (starting promptly at 7pm) with catered food, some bubbly and live music. The 8pm show will also feature special appearances by Bethany Jillard (Stratford Festival) and Claudia Moore!
David Earle (Artistic Director, Dancetheatre David Earle) creates a new trio for emerging dance artists Corrado Cerruto, Miranda Forbes and Megan Nadain. As contemporary dance pushes the boundaries of form and theatre, Earle has always remained within the modern dance idiom. Watching a work by Earle is akin to viewing a classic film from the early age of Hollywood - though it is from another era, its elegance and eloquence continue to resonate.
Troy Emery Twigg, in collaboration with dancer Justin Many Fingers, creates litahpoyii. They embark on a choreographic journey to rediscover the knowledge that forms their existence as Blackfoot Peoples recalling blood/body memory, breath, embodiment and natural rhythms. With a collection of stories from Blackfoot territory, they explore the body in relationship to the earth's energy and vibrations, revealing imprints made by ancestral forms that are both relevant and unsettling.
Carol Anderson's Elsinore is a womanly, reflective journey remounted for Older & Reckless with stunning young performer Jordana Deveau. The work was created for the wonderful Julia Sasso, in celebration of Dancemakers' 25th anniversary. At its premiere, Paula Citron wrote, "a masterpiece of psychological movement...the pictures are haunting...images of vulnerability and strength at the same time...like watching one's life pass before the eyes." (The Globe and Mail, Nov. 19, 1999).
And through MOonhORsE's partnership with The School of Toronto Dance Theatre, four recent graduates will perform Paul-André Fortier's classic work, Tell. Originally choreographed for Montréal Danse in 1987, Tell is an absurd, fast-paced ego contest for four men, four apples, and a table; physically dazzling and downright daring!
And the public doesn't need to just stand on the sidelines - they can sign up for a Dance for the Rest of Us workshop - Introduction to Hip Hop with Apolonia Velasquez and Ofilio Sinbadinho (artistic directors, Gadfly) at 5:30pm on Saturday, May 17 ($10). And they are invited to join in a gentle and rejuvenating audience warm-up prior to each performance; and to stay for an after-party and a chance to talk one-on-one with the artists.
About the Artists:
David Earle began his dance training at the age of five as a student of the National Ballet School of Canada. Later, he spent two years on scholarship at the Martha Graham School in New York and was an ensemble member with the José Limón Dance Company. From 1967 to 1968, he assisted Robert Cohan with the newly-formed London Contemporary Dance Theatre. In 1968, he returned to Toronto and co-founded Toronto Dance Theatre (TDT) with Patricia Beatty and Peter Randazzo. In his twenty-eight years with Toronto Dance Theatre, he worked as co-director for the first fifteen years, sole Artistic Director for seven years and Resident Choreographer for six years. In 1996, Earle launched Dancetheatre David Earle (www.dtde.ca) to support continued creation, preservation of his repertoire, and to serve as a forum for younger artists whose concern is the expression of humanity in dance. Over the span of his career to date, he has choreographed more than 140 new dance works. Of his many awards and recognitions, Earle has received the Jean A. Chalmers Award for excellence in choreography, the Muriel Sherrin Award for contribution to the art form of dance, the Jacqueline Lemieux Prize for distinction in choreography, the Walter Carsen Prize for Excellence in the Performing Arts, the Premier's Award for Excellence in the Arts, and is a Member of the Order of Canada.
Troy Emery Twigg is an artist who works in theatre and dance as a choreographer, performer, storyteller and educator. He is from the Kainai Blackfoot Nation in Southern Alberta. His work has been presented internationally and nationally from Vancouver (Dancing on the Edge) to Halifax (Prismatic) and almost everywhere in between. Troy has just completed a national tour of a new work commissioned by Alberta Aboriginal Arts in 2012. His latest work explores "dancing the universe in flux" with theatre artist Ed Roy, which is a theatre/dance hybrid. He will be in residence at the Banff Centre for the Arts in March 2014 continuing to explore the idea of Making Treaty 7 with 18 artists from the area. Troy splits his time between Alberta and Toronto where he is on Faculty with The Centre for Indigenous Theatre.
Carol Anderson has enjoyed a rich and diverse career as a dancer, choreographer, director, teacher and writer. She started her performing career with Canadian pioneer Judy Jarvis' first company in 1969, and was a founding member of Toronto's Dancemakers in 1974. A dancer, choreographer, artistic director and resident choreographer with Dancemakers until 1988, she performed in multiple new creations and reconstructions by notable artists including Peggy Baker, Anna Blewchamp, Susan Cash, Robert Cohan, Christopher House, James Kudelka, Judith Marcuse, Jennifer Mascall, Lar Lubovitch, Karen Jamieson, Norman Morrice, Paula Ravitz, Paul Taylor and Doug Varone. Since stepping away from active performance, Anderson has expanded her work as a creator, educator and writer, and is the author of a constantly growing body of writing on Canadian dance and other cultural matters. An Associate Professor of Dance at York University, she teaches both studies and studio courses. An award-winning dance artist and writer, she is proud to have received a 2013 Queen's Jubilee Medal in acknowledgment of services to the arts.
Paul-André Fortier entered the world of dance in the 1970s via one of Quebec and Canada's most innovative choreographic companies, Le Groupe Nouvelle Aire. In 1981, he created his own company, which later became Fortier Danse-Création. He also co-founded the company Montréal Danse in 1986 with Daniel Jackson. Fortier's career as a choreographer is significant in its impact on the arts. He is the forerunner of a danced theatricality, which exposes the tension in today's world. He has created an unapologetic, determined and precise vocabulary that has inspired a whole generation of choreographers who are unafraid to take risks. Paul-André Fortier's creative work is recognized internationally and it is distinguished by Fortier's search for renewal and a desire to surpass his limits. Fortier describes himself as "a man who dances," and constantly challenges himself to meet the highest of artistic standards. He was awarded in 2012 the Governor General's Performing Arts Award.
Older & Reckless, an informal performance series, features work from OLDER artists who continue to grow more RECKLESS as time goes by. Older & Reckless provides an opportunity for seasoned dance artists to perform short works and a chance for the audience to see some of Canada's most celebrated senior choreographers.
Conceived by Claudia Moore, Artistic Director of MOonhORsE Dance Theatre, Older & Reckless is "an intimate exchange for both the performer and the observer; exciting, terrifying, and lots of fun. The performances are followed by a party with music, refreshments, and a chance to talk with the artists about work, process, and whatever else comes up!"

The global marketplace demands a wider frame of reference than in the past. The future belongs to advertising professionals equipped to solve marketing problems from a global perspective.
Bozell Worldwide has decided to be the founding sponsor of InterAd, the International Student Advertising Competition, a student program recently created by the International Advertising Association.
Learning by doing is always the best way. IAA's InterAd is a "hands-on" program-a meaningful, practical advertising educational experience for undergraduate students from around the world. InterAd will recruit students from the scores of countries where the IAA currently has accredited institutes and chapters. Then we will set up a "real life" marketing problem to solve. The students form "agencies" within the participating schools, gather market data and develop comprehensive marketing and creative recommendations.
Each student agency will asses real "client" marketing situations in their markets, and then will present solutions in regional and global competitions this fall. Finalists will vie for the grand prize, awarded at the IAA World Congress in Seoul in June.
Bozell Worldwide executives will be among the judges and will offer internships to selected students.
These programs work. The American Advertising Federation and the IAA have established successful track records domestically and internationally with student competitions.
The AAF has orchestrated contests, internships and mentoring with its membership agencies for 25 years. A recent InterAd prototype, the Mid-European Student Advertising Competition, asked students from Hungary, Croatia, Greece, Bulgaria and Slovenia to develop Chrysler campaigns.
To MESAC founder John H. Holmes, professor of marketing at Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, N.Y., the program is more than a student exercise. "We were able to tap a vast pool of creative marketing energy in countries that are really just learning about marketing and branding," he said.
"I was privileged to work alongside some of the most gifted, hardworking and enthusiastic newcomers to the field. Their work stands up to the best I've seen anywhere. There is clearly a need to expand this grand opportunity to a broader base."
The timing of InterAd is no accident. Advertising power is spreading across boundaries as never before. As more countries shift to market economies, advertising's role will expand beyond anything we've ever known. We hope you might consider joining us in this effort.
The hunger to learn is very strong. Whether your agency contributes judges or sets up mentoring and internship programs, your participation is vital.
We and our clients in the marketing business didn't achieve our goals by sitting on the sidelines. This is an instance when getting involved benefits everyone. Those of us who've participated in InterAd's prototypes know we've gotten much more back than we gave. It's a rewarding experience.
We can't lay the groundwork for advertising's global future without tapping the seasoned veterans who know it best. You are our only resource. Please join us in making InterAd the success I know it can be.
Mr. Peebler is CEO of Bozell Worldwide.

This Christmas I got some Amazon dollars and I bought myself a fancy diffuser thingy that is also a fancy light that switches colours. Here's a selection of colourful night time lights.
I have started a new nighttime ritual. This is it, broken down in steps.
- Once I get home from work, I turn the heat on in the bedroom.
- Put the diffuser on with the "night time" essential oils in it. It's a combination of chamomile and lavender oils and it smells very lovely and soothing. I can set the diffuser for 6 hours and then it automatically shuts off.
- Turn on the new heated blanket we picked up with our Sears Christmas money. ZOMG. We were able to get the softest (micro fleece) blanket that is filled warm goodness. So soft and snuggly.
- Close the door to keep the heat in.
- Go to sleep in the dreamiest of all the beds. So warm. So soft.
Editor's Note: We live in Vancouver, not in the wintery winter part of Canada. It barely gets below zero in our part of the country, so this may seem like overkill. Actually, typing it out, it really does look like overkill.
Oh well. It's cozy, comfy. And…
Good night.

Workflow Complexity: Complicated data and simple workflow is complicated. Simple data and complicated workflow is complicated. Healthcare's complicated data and complicated workflow is hypercomplicated.
No Cost Competition: In other industries, companies are forced to adopt technology to optimize workflow to minimize cost while maximizing flexibility.
Regulatory Environment: EHR and HIT vendors are stretched thin addressing Meaningful Use requirements.
Screens vs. Workflow: It's easier to appreciate EHR screens (layout of data and controls over space) than workflow functionality (sequences of events over time).
Threat to Revenue Streams: Switching to new platforms is risky and threatens current revenue streams.
Billing Over Clinical Emphasis: As long as the right codes are generated to maximize revenue, nothing else matters.
Skeuomorphism: Misguided attempts to model EHR user interfaces on paper medical record forms.
Workflow Stereotypes: Workflow management systems and business process management once emphasized automating human users out of processes. Not true now!
Not Invented Here-ism: Most academic and commercial BPM activity occurs outside the US.
Paradigm Shifts: You stick with a paradigm unless you're forced to change. Health IT picked a document-based, instead of workflow-based, paradigm.
*Top Ten Reasons EHR-BPM Tech Is Not (Yet) Widely Deployed in Healthcare
Let me first explain what we mean by workflow. As the leader in this area it is important that I explain how this 'changes things forever'—for many physician practices! If you feel that, as a physician, you are constantly giving instructions to your staff—and always following up to ensure things have been done—then XciteEHR is for you. If you feel that you are being asked to change the way you practice medicine to adapt to the strictures of your EHR software, then XciteEHR is for you. Or, if you feel that you should not take a productivity hit when you implement an EHR and feel instead that your productivity should improve and finish charting as the exam is done, then the XciteEHR is for you This is what truly sets us apart.
Process Orchestration Engine (AKA workflow engine) to drive the progression of work in structured and unstructured processes or cases
Model-Driven Composition environment for designing processes and their supporting activities and process artifacts
Content Interaction Management supporting e progression of work, especially cases, based on changes in the content itself (documents, images and audio)
Human Interaction Management enables people to naturally interact with processes they're involved in
Connected Processes and Resources they control, such as people, systems, data, event streams, goals and key performance indicators (KPIs)
Continuous Analytics monitor activity progress, and analyze activities and changes in and around processes
On-Demand Analytics to provide decision support using predictive analytics and optimization
Business Rule Management systems guide and implement process agility and ensure compliance
Management and Administration monitor and adjust technical aspects of BPM platform
Process Component Registry/Repository for process component leverage and reuse
Cloud-Based Deployment of about features and functions across desktop platforms and mobile devices
Social Media Compatible external and/or similar internal activity streams integrated with workflows

OOOH, Shiny....
I haven't had the chance to share these yet, but I have some cool foreign covers for THE BODY FINDER (in order: Italian*, Brazilian, German, Polish, and UK)....
...and THE PLEDGE (from Spain):
For those of you in other magical and faraway places, if you happen to catch a glimpse of a cover I haven't posted, feel free to email it to me…I LOVE seeing them!!!
Also, I try to keep my blog sidebar ( → ) updated with all the countries/languages where my books will be available…you know, in case you were wondering how that world domination map is coming along.
*Is it just me, or does the Italian version look sort of like The Pledge??? Also, FYI, translation: "A Collection of Things".
I love the foreign markets!

A new research has found that merely holding a hot coffee cup leads a person to see others as more generous and caring. Researchers also discovered that warm hands make people more inclined to give than to receive.
Scientists recruited 41 college students for what they thought was personality research. A lab worker escorted each participant up the elevator of Yale's psychology building and casually asked for help holding her cup of coffee — either hot or iced — while she recorded the student's name on a clipboard.
Those who had held the hot cup saw the person as more generous, sociable and good-natured than those who had held the cold cup — all traits that psychologists consider part of a "warm" personality, the researchers report in Friday's edition of the journal Science. Yet there were no differences between the two groups on ratings of honesty, attractiveness or strength, traits not associated with either warm or cold personalities.
In the second study, students briefly hold one of those heat or ice pads sold in drugstores for pain, allegedly as part of product-testing. Really the test was which trinket the students chose as a thank you for participating: An ice-cream coupon or bottled drink for themselves, or one for a friend.
Students who held the hot pad were more likely to choose a reward for a friend, while those who held the ice pad were more likely to choose a reward for themselves.
So, do you want a hot cup of coffee or iced coffee?

1) Atwood Eagle Mooring System Change Out
InterMoor Pte, based in Singapore, completed the change out of the Atwood Eagle mooring system. The mobilisation took place in Singapore and the job was executed in Dampier, Australia on behalf of Atwood Oceanics.
InterMoor Pte procured 8 new chains for the rig and transported them from the chain manufacturer in China to Singapore to prepare for mobilization and installation onto the drilling unit. The 8 new wires were free issued by Atwood and these were also prepared by InterMoor and mobilized form Singapore. InterMoor Pte hired two vessels, the Pacific Dispatch and the Pacific Discovery to mobilise, transport and then install all of the mooring equipment onto the Atwood Eagle at anchorage in Australia.
The work was carried out on time, within budget and with zero LTIs.
2) Mooring of a DP type platform in the Guanabara Bay, Brazil
InterMoor do Brasil provided the mooring system design for the DP platform, completing the project in two phases.
The first phase was completed with the provision of analysis and engineering studies to decide the most appropriate method of conventional mooring pattern given the capabilities of the available components of the platform.
The second phase was completed with the delivery of operations procedures and renting of additional mooring materials, such as anchors, chains segments, connectors elements and buoys.
Also for this second phase, InterMoor do Brasil provided qualified personnel to ensure the efficient and cost-effective execution of the operation. The project was performed as planned and with zero incidents.
3) Engineering and Fabrication of MWCC Umbilical Turning Point Structure
A group of major offshore operators (Chevron, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil and Shell) joined forces in a not-for-profit organization, the Marine Well Containment Company (MWCC) to develop, maintain and operate a containment system named the Marine Well Containment System (MWCS). The MWCS will allow for rapid deployment into deepwater GOM in the case of a subsea well blowout. The primary objective of the system is to fully contain the oil with no flow to the sea.
InterMoor provided the engineering design and fabrication of the Umbilical Turning Point Structure.
4) Boomvang Spar Riser Disconnect
InterMoor was part of a team that disconnected and laid down 3 risers and 1 umbilical off the Boomvang spar. The Boomvang spar continues to produce today after achieving first production in 2002 in East Breaks Block 643 in the Gulf of Mexico.
An InterMoor crew of about a dozen, working together with a separate team on board the spar, successfully completed the scope of work from an anchor-handling vessel in 3,472 ft. of water.
5) Chain maintenance on Baobab Ivoirien FPSO
InterMoor successfully completed the maintenance for one mooring line of the FPSO Baobab Ivoirien MV10 at the request of Mitsui Ocean Development & Engineering Co., Ltd (MODEC). The FPSO is currently located in the Baobab Oil Field Block CI-40, 25km (15 miles) of the coast of Côte d'Ivoire, in approximately 970m of water.
InterMoor provided project management, engineering, mobilization of equipment, vessels and personnel, and offshore labor. The work was completed on time and without incident.
6) CALM buoy disconnect in West Africa
InterMoor completed engineering procedures, project management, and offshore work to disconnect two risers from a CALM buoy. The CALM buoy risers were successfully disconnected, plugged and laid down on the seabed using an Anchor Handling Vessel.
As the original pull-in method for the risers was not feasible, given the age of the asset, InterMoor developed an alternative procedure to disconnect and laydown the risers, involving the use of subsea clamps and Chinese fingers to guide the riser end to the deck to install the plugs.
*The job was successfully completely in 384 m (1,260 ft.) of water.
7) Mooring Support in Alaska
InterMoor provided support and offshore personnel for the pre-set installation of a mooring system for a heavy lift vessel (the Svenja) and the moving of a pipe-lay barge (the Ninilchik) along a 16-nautical-mile pipe-lay route in Alaska.
8) North Sea Single Point Mooring (SPM) Maintenance
InterMoor UK completed an SPM mooring system review and developed an optimized shuttle tanker connection arrangement for a major oil & gas Exploration and Production company in the UKCS.
As part of the project, InterMoor UK designed and manufactured fully certified, long term connection H links (an InterM product). The bespoke design ensures efficient transfer and connection of the hawser by the shuttle tankers whilst providing improved system integrity.
In addition to design and supply of the H links, InterMoor UK provided personnel to assist with the installation of the optimized design components.
9) Pile Fabrication for the Julia Project
InterMoor's Morgan City facility manufactured four manifold piles for McDermott for the ExxonMobil's Julia project.
Two piles are 45ft. long, one is 65ft. long and the longest one is 103ft.
The piles are 20ft. diameter, which is the largest rolled by InterMoor to date and weigh from 66 to 277 Tons.
The deepwater Julia oil field is located 265 mi (426 km) southwest of New Orleans in the GoM Walker Ridge area in water depths of approximately 7,000 ft (2,134 m).
10) Heidelberg Piles and Deepwater Hook-up
The piles for the Heidelberg project shipped out of our facility in Morgan City, La. in early 2015. These were 9 piles for flow line and riser holdback. They each weighed about 63 tonnes and measured 65' long and 12'-9" diameter.
In the summer, InterMoor Inc. provided Anadarko Petroleum Corporation with rapid hook-up services for their Heidelberg truss spar in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico after stepping in at short notice for another contractor.
The company hooked up the 80,000 bbl/d spar to three mooring lines to make sure it was storm safe. The Heidelberg field development is located in Green Canyon 859 of the Gulf of Mexico.

Alumnus Kelly Shepherd travels to Philippines
Natasha Boddie/May 2017
Alumnus Kelly Shepherd knew early on, he enjoyed taking photos. As a child, a camera was always in hand. Eventually he made his way to School of Art to pursue photography. It was here, nearing graduation, did he realize "hey, maybe I should pursue this as a career." Everything fell into place when friends asked him to photograph weddings, events and family portraits.
In 2012, Kelly received his BFA in Photography. He describes his experience at Mason's School of Art as a great one. "I had many friends and lovely professors. Looking back, I get nostalgic for the great times I had. The work was intense at times but it forced me to be a better photographer and I do not regret a second of it," says Kelly.
Post graduation Kelly recounts his most rewarding experience – a mission trip to the Philippines. His love for photography and travel led his sister-in-law to approach him about the mission trip. She felt he would be an asset to the team. Kelly didn't immediately accept the invitation. It took him a few years to embark on the journey. "It is a big commitment as well as a financial one, I was lucky enough to have raised all the funds per donations by family and friends," replies Kelly.
According to Uplift Internationale's website, their mission, aims to give a life changing gift to children with facial deformities by mending faces… one child at a time. Every year Uplift conducts Operation Taghoy – an annual mission trip to the Philippines to provide reparative surgical care to poor, rural children born with facial deformities.
To be considered for the mission trip one must posses a combined set of skills and experiences. Being this was Shepherd's first trip overseas. He remained open minded. No expectations other than to be transformed in a positive way. Travelling to Manila with an unpretentious mindset. Kelly reflected on all in which he was thankful for in life.
The next day would begin his awe-inspiring journey as he took a five-hour van ride south to a port where he took a three-hour ferry ride to the island of Marinduque. Here he spent seven days to document over 35 surgeries with 200 people in/out of the hospital. Roadblocks posed a challenge to the team. This team, which included photographers, nurses, doctors and outreach personnel; overcame the challenges. Once surgeries were underway the team worked proficiently under time restraints. Kelly had the opportunity to enter the Operating Room (OR) to document these surgeries firsthand.
After a week long of surgeries, post op processing and cleaning. The team concludes their trip with a visit to the governor's private island. A white sandy beach surrounded a mind-blowing view. The team was rewarded with small boat tours around the island, snorkeling and drinks.
As Shepherd said goodbye, it was tough. An indescribable feeling of bittersweet memories as a weight was lifted. The hundreds of new best friends Kelly made along the way would remain on his mind as he travelled home. It was all over before he knew it. He had a feeling of guilt as he returned home so quickly. IF only he could have helped them all. For this they had to return to finish the work.
No online publication, brochure or website presence can compare to all Kelly has achieved during his trip to the Philippines. Kelly notes, "the mission trip has been the most rewarding achievement so far … knowing that we were changing people's lives for the better was the far more rewarding aspect for me; the opportunity to photograph all of it was a secondary reward."
Moving forward, each year, Shepherd hopes to achieve/accomplish more than the last. He feels his best days still wait as he moves forward, "I am no where near done achieving, I believe my best times are ahead of me and that I'll accomplish many things in my life." Despite life complications in 2017, Kelly plans to return with Uplift in the years to come to the Philippines.

The people behind the Debian Linux project

Ever wonder what the people behind the Debian project look like? This site is a simple prototype to see if there is any interest in maintaining a face-database of Debian Developers.

Day 355 - Kabul calling
Over the year he's managed to phone home every two or three days, which is pretty good. Much better than the last 6 month tour 3 years ago, when calls were erratic. I remember not hearing from him for 10 days during the toughest, darkest part of that tour. Afghanistan dominated the news then, fighting was intense and there was so much sadness. It was the longest 10 days of my life.
It's been very different this time - he's not on the frontline and I haven't worried as much between calls. But I never ask when he's going out. I'd rather not know.
Our phone chats haven't always gone smoothly though - he has a knack of ringing at a really bad moment - when I'm trying to get the kids to do their homework, eat, or I'm just about to head out the door. There's never a perfect time is there.
I always feel guilty after one of these distracted calls, and I can't ring him back - I have to wait for him to ring me, or email him to call home. We rarely talk at night because Afghanistan is a few hours ahead. If he wants to catch up with the kids, it tends to be breakfast time, which is bedlam, or early teatime/bathtime (even worse!) Weekends are usually best.
I know the kids have missed their dad desperately and are so excited about him coming home - but they can be totally useless on the phone, especially if there's something else going on. He's pretty realistic about this, but it must be hard.
That's why once in a while I've asked the kids to write or make things to send to him. The eldest usually writes a letter, the youngest draws a picture and the one in the middle does a bit of both.
I often get a lump in my throat when the kids show me what they've done. So heartfelt, loving and honest. And I know getting messages like this have meant the world to their dad over the last 12 months.

Oh - you've made me cry now. I remember the terrible waiting for phone calls - trying not to worry and then hearing something awful on the news and still not getting a call. I also remember that total inability to picture him mentally because the situation he was in seemed so alien. My dad was in the navy and my mum still bemoans the fact that all he ever sent her pictures of was the sea...sunset over the sea... and none really of the ship or the other people he was on board with. May be it's a man thing. I don't think my OH ever sent me pics of Afghanistan while he was out there - or anywhere in fact. Mind you, I think I'm quite glad I never got to see the pics of him living it up on the Croatian coast in one of Tito's (requisitioned) houses during his 'terribly touhg' 'tour' of 'Bosnia'... I bet you & the kids are so looking forward to seeing him again and knowing he won't be going away for a while. Thinking of you. xxxReplyDeleteReplies
...oh R I'm sorry I've reminded you of those times! Memories of tours are so powerful and packed with emotion - I find it doesn't take much to trigger them. When I write anything about him being away I get a bit wobbly.... Think it's easier not to know or see too much. He's only sent me a few photos and I don't ask many questions. The more I know the more I seem to worry. (though he is possibly going to post a pic for this coming silent sunday)Delete
There have been times over the year when I've wished I could just pick up the phone and talk to him - but we're almost there now - I feel positive and a bit proud too. Certainly proud of the kids. Soon we'll be going from one extreme to the other! xxx
Beautiful post, i got tears in my eyes reading your post! i can only pray that your husband will always be well and healthy and will come home safe and sound to you and the kids.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much Susan - we're all very excited now...and relieved! Can hardly believe it's nearly over xDelete

It seems like Christmas is just coming faster and faster every year. You see...I normally like to get my decorations out and up the weekend before Thanksgiving or at least on Thanksgiving. But -- being as we were getting ready to leave for VA, that didn't happen this year. So, after much thought and debate, I decided to just put up a small tree in the playroom for the kids. I did put up the other decorations in the living room and such, but I'm not going to put up our family tree in the living room. There's just not much need since Christmas is about three weeks away, and we're headed to the mountains on the 27th.
With that said, Caleb and I took the time this morning to get the tree put up in the playroom. He had lots of fun hanging the ornaments and getting it all decorated. Now that it's up, I'll put the boys in their Christmas pajamas and take their holiday picture sometime this evening. Then, I'll start working on the annual Childress newsletter. I tell ya...I'm late on this stuff this year, and my anal-retentive self doesn't like it at all. Oh well, it'll get out soon enough...LOL!
Here are some pictures of the playroom tree:
Caleb hanging his dinosaur ornament on the tree.
The final product (minus some sort of tree topper that I've got to go purchase).

Today I'd like to talk about something that means a great deal to me.
When I was younger and didn't deal with anxiety as much, I loved going places. I loved shopping, going to birthday parties, and really…just getting out of the house. However, now that my anxiety is much worse and harder to cope with, it's difficult for me to get out. Do I miss it? Absolutely! Do I wish that I could just go wherever I want and have a good time without worrying? 100% yes!
However, as many of you who suffer with anxiety know, it's not always that easy. As much as we may want to do something, sometimes our anxiety holds us back. In fact, sometimes it's difficult for us to even picture going somewhere without feeling anxious.
|Image by FreePik
It's admittedly hard to feel as though people don't believe you – especially your loved ones. I don't want my family and friends to think that I don't miss doing things with them or that I don't wish I could. The truth is though that I know I'm not ready to go somewhere and walk around for an extended period of time. I also know that some of the people I'd be going with are not understanding and that if I had to leave, they would get frustrated. I'm not trying to blame others, I'm just stating the facts.
I'm writing this to let those who struggle with doing the things that they want due to anxiety, that I understand and that you're not alone. I'm also writing this to remind those who have loved ones who struggle with anxiety and other mental health issues, that we don't like going through this. We would much rather be going somewhere exciting or doing something fun!

19 dead after tourist plane crashes in Nepal
A small plane carrying foreign tourists on a morning sightseeing trip around Mount Everest has crashed in bad weather near Nepal's capital Kathmandu, killing all 19 people on board, officials said.
Kathmandu Airport officials said there were 16 passengers and a crew of three on board the plane. The cause of the crash was not known.
"We had rushed a survivor to the hospital but he died during the treatment. So we have all 19 people dead," said police spokesman Binod Singh.
"The rescue efforts have been hampered by heavy rain."
Investigators scouring the accident site found the black box flight recorder several hours after the crash, and police said a probe was underway to establish the cause of the accident.
The Buddha Air Beechcraft plane - carrying 10 Indians, two Americans, one Japanese citizen and three local passengers - came down in heavy rain and fog at Godavari, around 10 kilometres from Kathmandu.
The three Nepalese crew also died in the accident as the plane smashed into wooded slopes, leaving the fuselage broken into several pieces.
Buddha Air, a private airline based in Kathmandu, was not immediately available for comment but was due to release a statement.
The Buddha Air website describes the Beechcraft as the "safest plane operating in the domestic sector".
The plane was returning from a mountain flight. Kathmandu and its surrounding hills were enveloped in late monsoon clouds around the time of the crash.
Airport authorities on the ground lost contact with the plane at 7:30am Sunday (local time), and it crashed four minutes later.
"When we reached the crash site, we found the dead bodies scattered within 25 metres of the site which is surrounded by trees," said Dip Shamsher Rana, a police officer who took part in the rescue.
"The nearest road is 50 metres away. There was mangled remains of the aircraft which was broken into several pieces."
Local television stations reported that witnesses saw flames coming from the aircraft just before it crashed.
"The plane was flying very low. We were surprised. It crashed into the hill and there was a huge explosion," a witness told the Avenues Television news channel.
"We climbed for one-and-a-half hours without taking rest to reach the crash site," he said. "Human body parts were visible."
The last plane crash in Nepal was in December last year, when a Twin Otter aircraft hit the Himalayan foothills of remote east Nepal, killing all 22 people onboard.
Nepal is home to eight of the world's 14 highest mountain peaks, including Mount Everest.
Tens of thousands of hikers and foreign tourists go to Mount Everest and other trekking routes to see the lofty Himalayan peaks every year.
Those who cannot hike the rugged hilly trails to the mountains use mountain flights operated by different airlines to see the Himalayas.
Tourism, a key source of earning for impoverished Nepal, accounts for nearly 4 per cent of the gross domestic product and employs tens of thousands of people, among the poorest in the world.

Re: Sophia Sellers, the daughter of Adam Sellers
In Response To: Re: Sophia Sellers, the daughter of Adam Sellers ()
Hello Sheila,
I mentioned FTDNA and Y-DNA testing because that was my first experience with DNA testing back in 2005. Since then I've participated in the 23andme Roots Into the Future (RITF) project (2011), which was FREE at that time. This year, 2013, I did the AncestryDNA testing. The results are pretty consistent as relates to ethnic percentages and ancestral origins. The differences are in the number of DNA cousin matches which I attribute to the customer database for each testing company.
No, I can't find a personal direct connection to the Sellers/Clemens lines, but I do have time and location connections, west central & southwestern Ohio, in addition to the VA/NC areas, to these surnames as well as cousins marrying into these families.
Roane Smothers is friend and member of our genealogy group, the African American Genealogy Group of the Miami Valley (AAGGMV) and he has done a fantastic job in the documentation, restoration and preservation of the Clemens Farmstead located in the Darke/Randolph county area (Longtown) of Ohio & Indiana.
We've come a long way since the start of this thread in 2002 and as more evidence becomes available thru the Internet, DNA testing and other resources I'm sure we'll find more possible connections.
Very nice meeting you and please keep us informed of your progress.
Warmest Regards,
Hi Art, that is very interesting, the test I used, was the newer ancestry.com DNA testing method which is modeled after 23andme. They test the 23 autosomes that are past down to us from each and every ancestor, male and female. Ancestry.com, can even give you a more precise estimate of where in Africa, Europe, Asia, our ancestor's came from, I thought that was neat, they just unveiled that about three weeks ago. I also had my brother (paternal line) tested for me on 23andme, so I have two DNA results on 23andme. Are you also related to Sophia Sellers-Clemens, line? I was given the name of Roane, from a lady at the historical library in Darke Co., Ohio, she said he was on a board that was trying to get the Clemens Farmstead refurbished, because it is now a historical landmark, that would be so wonderful, if that happened. Do you know if anyone in the Greenville, Ohio settlement, between 1850 and 1860 died of cholera, I read an article from a book that mentioned that a man had died in 1849, actually, he and others died of cholera in Randolph County, Indiana, in 1849, I wonder if that is what happened to my gr gr grandfather Mathew Shaffer. Thank's Art, for letting me know that you are also a DNA match with the Sellers, line. Paul Heinegg, posted a message to me also and said that there was also a family of free African American Sellers, that lived in Hardy County, Virginia, starting about 1782 to 1820 which included, Frederick, Susanna, Margaret, Elias, George, Abraham, and Monaz Sellers. I mentioned to him, that I was a DNA match with two white Sellers, who have mention of Adam Sellers, Christian or Christopher Sellers, who was a descendant of Adam Sellers, and Heinrich Sellers, his father, in their tree. I asked him if this line could also be descended from Adam Sellers, or his father? Thanks again Art, for the information and the fact that we may have a common ancestor, neat!

So many seasons in a life! Just turn and there's another one. Thankfully, sadness (or despair) doesn't last.

I love that song. It holds many great memories of my younger years...and a lot of truth. It also reminds me of my dad...although not a religious man in the comment sense, his favorite scriptures in the bible came from Ecclesiastes, from where the lyrics came. But I had to turn the music off. I wanted to read your compelling final words on the farm without distraction. Jenny, thanks for sharing this tale of hurt and healing so beautifully. You have a true gift with the pen (keyboard, whatever..).

I know of what you speak. I've been there too. Healing in the telling? Maybe some. Time: also some. Making a new life and planting zinnias: an awesome lift to the spirit. Sunshine and eventually happy thoughts: bonus but everything passes eventually.
Happy thoughts, Jenny.

Ok – here we go!
I am brand new to blogging, but I am really looking forward to diving into the creative online community. First thing I do in the morning is check out my blog feed and see what everyone I follow has been up to and creating. I hope that this blog becomes a source of info, inspiration, and ideas for others as well.
So who am I? I have been sewing and creating for my whole life, my first sewing machine came into my possession at age 5. Ok so it was a hand crank one made for small hands – but it kicked off a lifelong obsession with fabric and creating.
I also adore vintage, and started collecting it when I was in my teens (we just called it second hand back then). I have some real gems that I have sourced from family members, vintage fairs, boot sales, and recycling bins (literally!). My collection includes clothing, jewellery, hats, shoes and household and beauty items. I like to learn as much as possible about my items and I would like to share my finds on the blog as well.
I find inspiration in the past, in the city I love, in the colours and sights of nature.
Thanks for coming along with me! I can't wait to connect with readers and hear your thoughts on my posts!

The farmhouse is in its own peaceful valley. Step inside to find an eclectic collection of vintage finds; a snooker room; a guest sitting room with sofas by the wood-burner and board games; bedrooms with big comfy beds, colourful linen and flowers. You eat in the cosy red dining hall at a long candlelit table: perfect poached eggs from the hens, homemade granola, fresh fruit for breakfast, perhaps homemade pate and local lamb for dinner. Kerstin grows lavender in the fields and you can buy her deliciously scented soaps and creams too. Space for bikes, walks into the Quantocks from the door, and the coast is just 30 minutes away.

One of the best places we have ever stayed in. The farm is easily found using Kerstin's directions and is a beautifully kept, first class B&B. Kerstin was very welcoming and was happy for me to "nosey" at all her lovely pieces of furniture, photo's and things collected over the years. Breakfast was fresh each day with lots to choose from using local produce. Instead of yacking on for ages about Westleigh Farm I'd just say go there and experience the delight for yourself!

When Soho Press asked us to see if we'd be interested in adding Stuart Neville to our January schedule, I jumped at the chance. Even though Sunday afternoons can be tough, and we're doing it at 3 pm so that it works out better with flights, we've had a great track with Mr. Neville's books.
When Stuart Neville's novel Ghosts of Belfast was published here in 2009, he hit the nerve of several Boswellians. Jason said we had something like four staff recs on the book, and it was on Greg's staff rec shelf for close to a year. And here it is.
Ghosts of Belfast
"Gerry Fagan isn't a very charismatic fellow. An ex-IRA enforcer, cold-blooded killer, drunk, and haunted by twelve ghosts of his previous innocent victims. And yet, we take to him immediately. In order to free himself from the unwelcome otherworldly company, Fagan will have to do as they wish: kill those responsible for their death, his old comrades. Dark, gritty, violent, and addicting."
It was a rare thing, a novel that appealed to both mystery fans (like Anne, who featured Ghosts of Belfast in our in-store mystery group) and science fiction aficionados like Greg. And then of course there were fans of Irish literature. I found this rec for the sequel from our ex-Boswellian Carl.
"Powerful characterizations and non-stop action propel this thriller from Northern Ireland. Returning characters like the haunted Gerry Fegan and crime boss Bull O'Kane, along with new, great ones like The Traveller, a cold-blooded assassin, and Inspector Jack Lennon, are unforgettable. Neville has proven himself a major talent with this follow-up to The Ghosts of Belfast."
After one more thriller featuring Jack Lennon, Stolen Souls, Stuart Neville has jumped to a new milieu for his novel Ratlines. It's 1963 and Europe is still reeling from World War II. Ireland, with its hatred for the British, has become a destination for Nazi collaborators, but recently, several have been killed. So they bring in this detective, Albert Ryan to figure out what's happening at the bequest of a wealthy, particularly influential Nazi whose been granted asylum, only Ryan doesn't exactly seem like the most obvious choice. For one thing, he's Protestant and actually left Ireland to fight for the Allies with the British troops. But as an ex-soldier he also knows duty, but under the circumstances, he also knows conscience.
I'm right in the middle of Ratlines and I have to say, it's terrific. Moody, atmospheric, with a great dark character at the front, lots of moral ambiguity, a femme fatale (his new girlfriend is working for the collaborator, and I'm not giving anything away here) and of course a great sense of place. That scene where Ryan goes home to have dinner with his parents is heartbreaking and of course a bit funny too. There's so much built into the scene that's not said, and it says so much about Ryan the person.
I was just chatting with my friend and customer Bob, and we were talking about why it seems Ireland produces way more than their fair share of amazing writers. And this is the thing about Stuart Neville.
You like a great mystery? You can read Neville. Ken Bruen said "Nobody should be as darn talented as Stuart Neville" (quote amended to get through filters). And I was reminded a bit of Alan Furst too, for what that's worth. I would certainly recommend it to that person reading Furst.
You like the Dublin setting and complicated character pieces wrapped in a thriller like Tana French? Go with Neville. It's certainly not the same Dublin, but if you do your vicarious travelling through books like I do, it shows you how Ireland got from then (Neville) to now (French).
You like Irish literary writers like Toíbín and Barry and the O'Briens (Edna and Flann)? Then I think you probably would want to pick up this as well.
Need any more incentive? Here's the starred review from Publishers Weekly. It's not particularly quotable, but calls Ryan a "formidable, damaged here." Aren't those the best heroes?
Stuart Neville is appearing at Boswell on Sunday, January 6, 3 pm.
Addendum, written on January 3. I finished Ratlines today, and there were several more twists and betrayals before I was done. I don't think I noted what ratlines are--they are the route of the Nazi collaborators out of Europe and into South America. I also didn't mention too much about the folks that seemed to be going after Otto Skorzany, the Nazi turned Irish gentleman farmer who seems to have an awful lot of folks in his pocket.
It's a pretty brutally violent book for a reader with a delicate disposition like me. Some of the torture scenes brought back my nightmares from seeing Marathon Man decades ago. But I have to remember Quentin Tarentino's remarks to Terry Gross this week when chatting about Django Unchained--movie violence is not real. And in the end, it's all pretty satisfying, but like in many thrillers and also real life, not everything you want to happen happens.
In terms of my comparisons, it's certainly as cerebral as Alan Furst, but I understand that that classic espionage can be almost all head game, and the violence does make me think twice about the comparison.
I'm still in the process of exhaling.

Watermelons are ripe and ready for eating.
It tasted as good as it looks. Too bad it's almost time to leave again. No more watermelon until September (in MN).

Nirvana released its first single, "Love Buzz", in November 1988 on the Seattle independent record label Sub Pop. The following month, the band began recording its debut album, Bleach, with local producer Jack Endino.
Bleach was highly influenced by the heavy dirge rock of the Melvins and Mudhoney, 1980s punk rock, and the 1970s heavy metal of Black Sabbath. Novoselic noted in a 2001 interview with Rolling Stone that the band had played a tape in their van while on tour that had an album by The Smithereens on one side and an album by the black metal band Celtic Frost on the other,

Do's and Don'ts of Nursing Documentation
Nurses are well aware of the standards, which states that if a certain matter affecting patient care is required to be charted and it is not, the overwhelming presumption is that it may not have been done. Good documentation will help you defend yourself in a malpractice lawsuit, it can also keep you out of court in the first place. The following excerpts are courtesy of NSO Risk Advisor-January, 1977.
* Check that you have the correct chart before you begin writing.
* Make sure your documentation reflects the nursing process and your professional capabilities.
* Write legibly.
* Chart the time you gave a medication, the administration route, and the patient's response.
* Chart precautions or preventive measures used, such as bed rails.
* Record each phone call to physician, including the exact time, message, and response.
* Chart patient care at the time you provide it.
* If you remember an important point after you've completed your documentation, chart the information with a notation that it's a "late entry." Include the date and time of the late entry.
* Document often enough to tell the whole story.
* Don't chart a symptom, such as "c/o pain," without charting what you did about it.
* Don't alter a patient's record - this is a criminal offense.
* Don't use shorthand or abbreviations that aren't widely accepted.
* Don't write imprecise descriptions, such as "bed soaked" or "a large amount."
* Don't chart what someone else said, heard, felt, or smelled unless the information is critical. In that case, use quotations and attribute the remarks appropriately.
* Don't chart care ahead of time - something may happen and you may be unable to actually give the care you've charted. Charting care that you haven't done is considered fraud.

Video Lessons
Nursing assistant video lessons. It is highly recommended that you have a DSL or Cable modem connection to the internet to view these videos. Each video is about 45mb, which on a dial-up connection would take about 10 -15 hours to download on a 56K modem. On a high-speed connection it should take about 1 minute.
This one is very informative.

Wound Care
The day-to-day responsibility for wound management is a role usually
undertaken by nurses. It includes assessing the wound, selecting an
appropriate treatment, and evaluating the patients' progress. In order
to do this effectively the nurse needs to understand the healing
process, recognize the factors which may delay wound healing,
understand how wound healing can be optimized, know how to recognize
complications if they arise and know how to treat them.
This text, specifically written for community nurses, including
practice nurses, provides a picture of wound healing for both acute
and chronic wounds that may be encountered in a community setting. An
overview of the function of the skin and phases of wound healing are
examined prior to looking at the relationship between wound healing
and the patients' health and lifestyle.
The reference is written in a question-and-answer format, and includes
relevant case studies

Now and then I am asked to help people with a small Perl problem in exchange for an item on my Wish List. Since I made that list especially for such occasions, I am often happy to oblige.
So a few weeks ago I helped someone with a small Perl program, and he promised to send me Higher-Order Perl (HOP) by Mark Jason Dominus. And today, the book arrived.


text: One use of the design was in the extraction of pine tar from pine roots and rich sapwood. In order to accomplish that a metal pot was filled with the pine wood and upended over the petroglyph which left only the channel to the edge of the rock exposed. This channel was covered by a piece of sheet metal when possible. Any gap around the rim of the pot was then sealed with clay or mud, and a fire was built around and on top of the pot. Heat from this fire would distill the pine tar from the wood which would drip down and be caught in the channels in the rock, to run out the channel to the edge of the rock and drip down into a second container as seen below.
