Time to blow off the cobwebs
With the start of spring many riders will be looking to bring their motorcycles out of storage. Before you throw a leg over and ride into the distance there are a few checks you should make.
Check your rubber
You would be surprised how many people do not check the air in their tyres before riding. A simple check could have disastrous consequences if ignored.
It is also a good idea to over inflate your tyres slightly the day before bringing your motorcycle out of hibernation. This should remove any flat spots caused by sitting on the tyres for an extended period.
Got lube?
A quick and easy check, do you have enough oil in your engine? Has it been slowly crying over the winter? When was the last time you checked?
With an oil and filter change being such a simple service, spoil yourself a little and give the engine some fresh blsuch
Can't stop me now
Brakes are probably the most important component on your motorcycle. A quick test that they still work is vital. Don't be the guy who rides away and can't stop at the lights, test your anchors, time and air is all that's needed to turn brake fluid into useless gloop.
If you have a rear drum brake it's worth checking your brake hasn't seized up. The grime you didn't clear off before storing may have clogged the braking mechanism. Simply check that moving the rear brake lever is smooth and without abnormal resistance.
A clean bike is a happy bike
The best way to make sure you're bike is ready for spring is to clean it. A good polish will help you spot what needs attention and what doesn't. Don't forget to clean the rear mudguard and check the frame for rust.
Most importantly of all, enjoy another year on two wheels!

Susan Sarandon Interview – 'Feud' – "She was one of the toughest women in Hollywood."
Over the course of her career, Susan Sarandon has fielded a variety of offers to play Bette Davis. It's not merely the eyes and voice that bear strong similarities, Sarandon's forceful personality is also ideally suited to Davis's often belligerent, take no prisoners, attitude. The new FX series FEUD: BETTE AND JOAN, sees Sarandon finally take on the role of the late Hollywood legend in a story that explores the notoriously toxic relationship between Davis and long-time Hollywood rival, Joan Crawford.

Speck Mellencamp, the 18-year-old younger son of singer John Mellencamp, has turned himself in to face felony battery charges.
The IndyStar said that Speck Mellencamp appeared Friday morning at the Monroe County Jail to post a $5,000 bond in connection with the incident. Another teen involved in the beating, 18-year-old Ty Smith, had already turned himself in and posted a $500 bond on Thursday night.
Speck's 19-year-old brother Hud still hadn't surrendered. But he's expected to report sometime on Saturday.
As I reported yesterday, the charges came as a result of a fracas in the early morning hours of July 29.
Speck Mellencamp said he'd attended a party where he tried to break up a fight between two girls. For some reason, that caused a 19-year-old man to hit him in the face.
Later that night, Ty Smith, Speck Mellencamp, and Hud Mellencamp decided to go to that man's home to confront him. It's alleged that when they found him sitting on his porch, they beat him severely enough that he was told to see a plastic surgeon.
There were no arrests at the time. However, the Bloomington Police Department investigated and eventually filed felony battery charges against Smith and both Mellencamp brothers.
It isn't the first time that the brothers have hit someone in the face. In June, John Mellencamp appeared on Dave Letterman with a black eye. The 61-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer tried to laugh it off.
But he admitted that one of his sons had hit him. I have a more indepth article, including the video from Dave Letterman, posted right here.
At least one media report said that Hud, a trained boxer, is the person who struck his father. On Letterman, John didn't name any names. He simply said that it was his 18-year-old son.
That's Speck Mellencamp. But fathers aren't always known for remembering their kids' exact ages. So it's unclear which brother actually punched the singer.

spiders!!! pretty interesting since the lecturer is from the spider lab ^^ out of the 5 practical groups there were at least 3 groups doing something regarding those cool spiders at lab park (ther was one group doing something about ants tho') our group decided to relate web-size with type of habitat (open vs. enclosed) my sub-group was to do enclosed, meaning in the forest area, so we trooped up the hill and had a fun spider spotting amidst the greenery... leonard and i went trigger happy at the same time, taking photos of nature... that's leonard below taking a photo at one of the spiders we traumatised ^^ kinda bad enough that we were disturbing their webs by taking measurements, and we JUST had to take photos of there once in a while too!
since i kinda just borrowed a very basic digicam from wai, the 10 over pics i took of spiders and insects were mainly out of focus... that's a real pity since the weather was fab and the insects were all nicely posing for us! kinda sad that the photo of the 6-legged spider (i am pretty sure it is a wounded spider since it had like 4 legs on one side and 2 on the other..) didn't turn out... besides, leonard and i were very fascinated by this nice LONG, succulent earthworm we saw (kristal i do hope u are NOT reading this!) it was just so gorgeous! anyway, only ONE of the "creatures" photos that i took came out a little decent... see if u can spot Mr Nephila antipodiana, with the spotted abdomen in the photo below... (yeah yeah, i KNOW i am not one of the best photographers, but.... anyway, watson said i cld borrow his spare digicam, so i do hope the photos from the next fieldtrip to sungei buloh wld turn out better)
well... all i have to do now is to do the report that is dued on wed.... (why is it that we have less than a week to do it?!?)
p/s. was at JEC for lunch on sunday, and there was a howl's moving castle poster!!!! it opens in singapore on 24 feb ^^ yay!! can go watch another film directed by Miyazaki Hayao sensei! Bansai!

Books as Bridges: Supporting Peace Education
What better way to bridge communities than by sharing books, and the stories within them? On February 27th NS/WaS Primary School opened its newly renovated library, made possible by a generous grant from the Julius Silman Charitable Trust. We have already been able to supply some new books and IT resources for the library thanks to all our supporters' kind donations over this past year. However, the school is still in need of good quality books in Hebrew and Arabic to support the bilingual education programme and the expanding school population, which has grown by two classes over the last two years. Currently 228 Jewish and Palestinian Israeli pupils come to NS/WaS Primary School from all across central Israel, in order to learn together in peace and equality. This World Book Day we are launching a campaign to raise enough to purchase two new books per child, and to cover administration costs.

Attached below is a section from Wikipedia on the corporate culture Steve Jobs implemented at NeXT out of the frustration of working on a bureaucratic environment at Apple and eventually being removed from the company by the very people he employed to implement it. The result is a completely different approach, apparently similar to what one can find at Apple now.
Jobs had felt stymied by Apple's corporate structure and was determined to avoid the bureaucratic infighting that led to his resignation. He created a different corporate culture at NeXT in terms of facilities, salaries, and benefits. Jobs had experimented with some structural changes at Apple but at NeXT he abandoned conventional corporate structures, instead making a "community" with "members" instead of employees. There were only two different salaries at NeXT until the early 1990s. Team members who joined before 1986 were paid $75,000 while those who joined afterwards were paid $50,000. This caused a few awkward situations where managers were paid less than their employees. Employees were given performance reviews and raises every six months because of the spartan salary plans. To foster openness, all employees had full access to the payrolls, although few employees ever took advantage of the privilege. NeXT's health insurance plan offered benefits to not only married couples but unmarried couples and same-sex couples, although the latter privilege was later withdrawn due to insurance complications. The payroll schedule was also very different from other companies in Silicon Valley at the time: instead of getting paid twice a month at the end of the pay period, employees would get paid once a month in advance.
Jobs found office space in Palo Alto on Deer Creek Road, occupying a glass and concrete building which featured a staircase designed by architect I. M. Pei. The first floor used hardwood flooring and large worktables where the workstations would be assembled. To avoid inventory errors, NeXT used the just in time (JIT) inventory strategy. The company contracted out for all major components such as mainboards and cases and had the finished components shipped to the first floor for assembly. The second floor was the office space with an open floor plan. The only enclosed rooms were Jobs' office and a few conference rooms. As NeXT expanded more office space was needed. The company rented an office in Redwood City, designed by Pei. The architectural centerpiece was a "floating" staircase with no visible supports. The open floor plan was retained although furnishings became luxurious with $5,000 chairs, $10,000 sofas and Ansel Adams prints. Temporary art exhibitions were mounted with an in-house curator; in at least one instance Jobs ordered the exhibition removed.

Stacks for Instapaper 2.6
This is not a big release, but it brings some new features and tries to improve some existing ones. The only method of the Instapaper API that I didn't use yet was the one to order folders. It's not the case anymore with the next release, you can now re-order your folders and this order will be saved on the Instapaper servers:
Here's the change log for version 2.6:
- Modify and sync folders and their order
- Create an account and subscribe to Instapaper
- Navigate to the top of the bookmark is now supported
- Directory of Windows Phone apps supporting the "send to Instapaper" feature
- Bug fixes
To see more screenshots and install the app: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/0825ac2c-4e27-e011-854c-00237de2db9e
Apps directory in Stacks
Since Instapaper is all about reading content later, it's not a big surprise that adding a page, a link or a document as a bookmark is one of the most wanted features. Several applications for Windows Phone support Instapaper by enabling their users to send data to their Instapaper account.
I added a directory in the latest version (2.5) with 6 apps supporting Instapaper. You can find the page in the Settings section of Stacks.
If you are a Windows Phone developer and want your app to be added to this directory, please contact me.
Stacks for Instapaper 2.4
A new version of Stacks for Instapaper is now available on the Marketplace. Version 2.4 brings a complete offline experience including images. From the bookmark page you can now touch a link and save it to "read later". Touching a picture will allow you to save it in the Media library. Still from the bookmark page you can change the reading preferences (font name and size, line spacing, orientation lock, Night Mode switch). The multi-selection mode has been revamped and the progress indicator was also improved. Finally, the infamous "blank screen" bug has been fixed too.
Happy reading!
Here's a video and some screenshots of the new version:
Stacks for Instapaper version 2.1
The new version of Stacks has been submitted to the Marketplace for certification. I hope that it will be certified before or shortly after the rollout of Windows Phone 7.5 (aka Mango) which should happen early next week for some operators.
What's new in this version?
Some bug fixes:
- The Font setting couldn't be changed. It was due to a bug in the ListPicker control of the Silverlight toolkit. I applied a patch (10247) since I suspect that the final release will be too late.
- When the user comes back to the bookmark page after sharing it or seeing the page in IE mobile, he/she will get a blank page. It's now fixed.
New features:
- I added an option to send me the last exception raised and not handled. There's also a debug info screen in the About page which contains other information like the number of bookmarks etc..
- Since the bookmark is from the Internet you can follow links to external (and not necessarily mobile friendly) webpages . Now you can add them to your Unread folder directly without leaving Stacks.
I blogged about improving the reading experience with the help of the RichTextBox control. I talked about the limitation of the control and specially about the maximum size. One solution would have been to paginate the bookmark. But since it comes in HTML I need to clean it beforehand and build the corresponding structure (Paragraph, Run, Image, Quote etc.) . And after comes the big problem: how do we know when to break the page? I must use a fixed-size font (New Courrier) and it's not the best for reading. Even with this font I can't control the word-breaking algorithm. So even if know the maximum number of characters in the page I can't be sure that it corresponds to the actual number for a particular page and I don't mention the problem with images etc.
I looked at the code of existing applications (with the help of the extraordinary XGENO Marketplace explorer). The most famous is the Kindle which as I thought is using a custom control. The other one is the New York Times which uses a WebBrowser control. But for these two apps the content is well-formatted in advance. Instapaper is used to bookmark any kind of content, most often long articles but also technical ones with pictures, diagrams. So I decided to keep the WebBrowser control and successfully fixed some issues like the zoom in/out which, cleaned a little bit of the CSS.
If you have other concerns with the app or ideas to improve it, don't hesitate to share your feedback on this UserVoice page.
Version 2 of Stacks and beyond
Hopefully in the next few days Microsoft and the different operators in the world will release Windows Phone 7.5 a.k.a Mango to the general public. Stacks For Instapaper has been updated to benefit from the new features of the OS:
- Supports fast-switching. Windows Phone 7.5 adds a better multitasking by keeping Apps in memory even if they are not used. Stacks will resume even faster now.
- New storage back-end for better performance
- Improved UI for light theme: new icons are used and the color of some titles has been changed in the "Folder" pages
- Background tasking: synchronize your unread folder even when Stacks is not running. Every 30 minutes or so Stacks will fetch the new bookmarks and their content. There are some limitations like the number of apps using the feature, the battery level of your device etc..
- Live Tile notification with number of new items when new bookmarks have been downloaded in the background
One area where there's still room for improvements is the bookmark page. I do know that the browser control used in Stacks is not user-friendly enough (no scrollbar!) and has its problems. A brand new reading experience is coming in an upcoming version. I'm investigating several solutions and one of them is to use the new support for the RichTextBox control. With the help of the Run,Paragraph and InlineUIElement controls I would like to offer a Kindle-like UI. Since Stacks is a client of an existing API I don't control the format issued by the service and I get no metadata about the content so it adds some difficulties (like the fact that the height of a control can't be greater than 2000 pixels). But I'm not discouraged, more hacking along the way 🙂
Send a bookmark to Instapaper from Internet Explorer Mobile
One of the most requested features in Stacks For Instapaper was to be able to add a bookmark from Internet Explorer Mobile. Unlike the Pictures or Music hubs, the Share menu in IE is only available to the built-in applications. Which leaves 2 solutions:
– Use a special email address which you can find in the Extras page (http://www.instapaper.com/extras – section "email links"), and send the bookmark to Instapaper this way
– use a special bookmark in IE. Here's a detailed how-to. (this method is only available on Windows Phone 7.1 aka Mango)
- Go to the Extras page (http://www.instapaper.com/extras) on your phone, touch and hold the "read later" button. Choose "Copy link" in the menu.
- Still in Internet explorer choose "add to favorites". Here you can change the Name and paste the bookmarklet in the Web Address field.
- When you want to add an article to your Instapaper account choose favorites and select the "bookmarklet " favorites created in step 3.
- Open Stacks and you will see the new bookmark !

Apple takes shine off stocks rally, suppliers hit
Disappointment over the timing of Apple's iPhone X release hampered further gains for world stock markets. As Laura Frykberg reports, many of Apple's suppliers suffered a hit
A bruise for shares in companies that'll make up the pieces of Apple's latest iPhone X... The UK-based firm, Dialog Semiconductor slipping 1.7 percent. the French-Italian - ST Microelectronics dipping by 1.1. While shares at the core company itself.. also took a hit. (SOUNDBITE) (English) DARREN SINDEN, INDEPENDENT MARKET ANALYST, SAYING: "I think what disappointed investors the most was the fact that it won't actually be launched until November 3rd a full month after the end of Apple's fiscal year. And therefore you know it's something of jam tomorrow in terms of the suppliers." Apple says the iPhone X is the 'biggest leap forward' Since the original model was launched about 10 years ago. The company is looking to recover its image, after many consumers rejected last year's iPhone 7 as being too similar to the iPhone 6. (SOUNDBITE) (English) DARREN SINDEN, INDEPENDENT MARKET ANALYST, SAYING: "You can fly too close to the sun occasionally and it's very hard to stay at a topdog when you're in a business where product innovation and fashion is everything." Apple no doubt hoping that proves wrong - with the iPhone X's most distinct new feature... being able to unlock it with facial recognition.. Although that proved a little problematic at its launch (SOUNDBITE) (English) APPLE SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT CRAIG FEDERIGHI, DEMONSTRATING THE NEW IPHONE X, SAYING: "Unlocking it is as easy as looking at it and swiping up. And, you know, let's try that again. Oh ho ho. Let's go to backup here. And get right in. So here we are, and you see this expansive display. It's just a beautiful canvas for all of your content and your gestures." Customers no doubt hoping that doesn't happen... When they buy the technology, which isn't cheap.. Each costs about $999.

Mayo wellness program honored
Wellness experts will measure anything, from vegetable servings to stroke risk. Some track data exceptionally well, according to the Wellness Council of America (WELCOA). The nation's leading wellness organization recently named Mayo Clinic Health System in La Crosse a platinum-level Well Workplace, its highest designation.
The recognition was awarded for You Matter, the wellness program for Mayo Clinic Health System – Franciscan Healthcare employees. The You Matter program met stringent reporting requirements for its wellness challenges, webinars, education, behavior change and lifestyle management programs.
WELCOA recognizes best-in-class, results-oriented programs that have been carefully researched, thoughtfully designed and flawlessly executed over time.
Effective because it's data-driven
There's nothing subjective about it. Participation rates, success in meeting lifestyle goals and even biometric data such as blood pressure all feed data-hungry analysts working to improve results. In developing You Matter, Mayo Clinic Health System experts in La Crosse dug into Mayo Clinic behavioral research to solve the biggest puzzle in wellness … how to better engage and motivate people. You Matter was the result.
Director of Health Promotion Lori Freit-Hammes, who develops wellness initiatives for Mayo Clinic Health System and western Wisconsin businesses, sees the far-reaching effects of a well-designed wellness program. "Helping employees become happier and healthier creates a more positive environment for everyone an organization touches… patients, employees, their families and the larger community. Diligently tracking the data is the only way to develop these programs and make sure they work."
You Matter knowledge has been applied directly to Wellness at Work, a set of wellness challenges provided at no cost to Health Tradition employer groups. Like You Matters, its outcomes are impressive.

We have then added a bespoke ticking seat pad which is both squishy and comfy and can easily lift off to reveal the nifty storage space.
Their perfect height makes them ideal for the little people in your life and also us adults! (Tried and tested by the Blue Ticking HQ family members!)
They are particularly handy for sitting on to put shoes on and take them off and then of course storing them when not in use!
The Maggie also provides flexible and portable seating meaning they can be moved from one room to another depending on your requirements.
The enamel pot itself is both durable, solid and with the various colours on offer, great to look at. Each one is totally individual giving you something unique and full of personality and heritage.
This particular pot is a very striking red with a fab blue ticking top.
Please note the enamel pots are a vintage item which have been used and loved so show some signs of wear. The picture shows one example of a medium red Maggie and each one will differ in terms of markings and the inside.
Height: 41cm
Width between handles: 41cm

- 2013. How to turn USA science degrees into science careers. PeerJ PrePrints 1:e3v1 https://doi.org/10.7287/peerj.preprints.3v1
This essay discusses the current situation in USA Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) higher education. Possible solutions to the current "skills gap" facing an entire generation of young Americans are considered. It is put forth that an "Industry PhD" may be helpful for guiding the next generation of scientists into stable careers in the sciences. Discovery science, wherein one discovers natural laws of the universe, requires a different toolkit than one needs for doing applied science. This is the proposed "Academic PhD" track. Applied science is usually focused around a three to five year targeted plan, with a directly patentable application as the "end product". Discovery science usually takes longer, and is by its very nature uncertain. However, one must discover natural laws before one can apply and patent them. Both "Academic PhD" and "Industry PhD" tracks are required for healthy economic growth in industrial nations.

Really delighted with our experience
"I wasn't planning to buy a car today - just looking!!
I have to say that Mike was really helpful and not at all pushy. He was knowledgeable without being too much. We felt informed but not sold to.
We obviously decided to buy the car and then it came to arranging with all the bits and pieces.
The team were great, kept us informed especially as they were busy and expecting a bit of a wait. We came back the following day and Malcolm looked after us really well. I really felt like he did everything he could to get us the best deal and I'm really delighted with our experience."

On a long large table the Good Family sat,
A day before Friday, it was their last.
Crucified on a cross for the greater good,
Fragments of life as dead as the wood.
Out of the oven, the hot crossed buns,
Plant those seeds out in the sun.
Hush up kids, hear the silence around
Whispers of kindness be the only sound.
A shadow is cast like a spell,
12 apostles towers each with a bell.
The colours that reflect change with time,
Glass remains unshattered in chime.
As strong as a tree branched out,
Holding it together when in doubt.
Blessed by the Holy three,
With the strength to be, the power to see.
The Last Supper of The Holy Family,
The stroke of Da Vinci, stoned by Gaudi.
Brought light upon the eternal soul,
You don't have to be complete in order to feel whole.
Note: Connect the dots Buena Familia means the Good Family in Spanish
where Good = God in context to Good Friday, a significance of holiness, where Holy = Sagrada.
This poem is an interpretation of Good Friday; through the famous works of Leonardo Da Vinci's Last Supper and Antoni Gaudi's Sagrada Familia. Both works of art showcase the crucifixion and suffering of Christ. It also interprets the observances on Good Friday and the notion of the modern day family.

I'm back from Japan safe and sound (despite the typhoon warnings right before we came home). We had a blast but oh my goodness it was hot there. This Canadian girl could not handle the high temperatures mixed with the high humidity.
We saw loads of cool stuff, visiting Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. Highlights for each was visiting Meiji Jingu and Akihabara in Tokyo, feeding Japanese Macaques in Kyoto and the aquarium in Osaka.
I still haven't sorted through all my photos, but here a few teasers!

Dr. David T. Porter
Brigham Young University Hawaii
Under Coach Dave Porter, the Brigham Young University-Hawaii tennis program has risen from an extramural program to one of the most dominant names in small-college tennis. Since taking over the men's program in the fall of 1984 Porter has amassed a dual match record of 546 wins and 115 losses (.826 winning percentage). In 23 seasons Dr. Porter has created results that many coaches only dream about.
In only his third season (1994-95) Porter guided the Seasiders to the first undefeated season in any sport in school history. His 27-0 record earned him his first National Coach of the Year Award. In six seasons competing in the NAIA Porter's team's finished in the top five in the nation every year and won the national championship in both 1997 and 1998.
Porter's Record (Men's)
The victory in 1997, BYU-Hawaii's first in tennis, was the most dominating performance in NAIA women's tennis history. The Seasiders, entering the tournament with a perfect 27-0 dual match record, set the all-time scoring record of 46 team points while winning both the individual singles and doubles titles. Karin Ptaszek defeated teammate Teresa Stromberg in the finals of the 256 open draw singles event while Stromberg and partner Anneli Ornstedt won the 128 draw doubles title. The national awards banquet was nearly an All-Seasider event as BYU-Hawaii won four of the five national awards. Karin Ptaszek was named Wilson/ITA Rookie of the Year, Paiao Short the Wilson/ITA Player to Watch, Teresa Stromberg the Wilson/ITA Arthur Ashe Sportsmanship Award and Dr. Porter the Wilson/ITA Coach of the Year. Stromberg was also awarded the Marvin P. Richmond award for the Outstanding Player of the Year and Porter received the Penn National Coach of the Year Award.
The 1997-98 season was a repeat in many ways. Porter guided his team to its second consecutive NAIA National Championship. He also produced the National Player of the Year and the Wilson/ITA Senior Player of the Year (Paiao Short), received his third National Coach of the Year Award and finished the season with a 27-2 record (one loss coming from the forfeit of a 9-0 victory/the result of an administrative error).
In the fall of 1998 BYU-Hawaii changed its affiliation to the NCAA Division II. Under Porter's guidance BYU-H didn't miss a beat. In their first year of NCAA competition the Seasiders were undefeated at 37-0 and won their third consecutive National Championship and the first NCAA II Championship in the school's history. Dr. Porter was again named National Coach of the Year, his fourth such award. Freshman Petra Gaspar was named the Wilson/ITA Rookie of the Year and the 1999 Honda NCAA Division II National Player of the Year.
The 1999-2000 regular season ended with a 25-0 record and Porter's fourth undefeated season in six years. The NCAA II National Tournament ended without a loss as the Seasiders swept every opponent 5-0. The Seasiders were again ranked #1, extended their winning streak to 67 consecutive matches, and achieved a #16 ranking on Bob Larsen's Top 200 overall collegiate ranking. It was the Seasiders' fourth consecutive national women's tennis championship. Tagifano So'onalole was named the ITA National Player to Watch and Petra Gaspar was named the 2000 Honda NCAA Division II National Player of the Year for her second consecutive year.
Dr. Porter first came to BYU-Hawaii in the fall of 1982. A former collegiate tennis and basketball player at BYU (Utah), Porter applied to BYU-Hawaii as an assistant basketball coach with the hope of starting a tennis program. During the 1982-83 and 83-84 seasons Porter helped the Seasider basketball team achieve their first two twenty-game win seasons in school history. In the fall of 1984 Porter worked as an assistant volleyball coach and helped guide the women volleyballers to 2nd place at the National NAIA Tournament, the highest finish for women's volleyball at that time.
That same year, 1984, Porter moved from basketball to tennis and was given responsibility for the men's program, a position he still holds. During his 21 seasons guiding the men's tennis program Porter has compiled a record of 519 wins and 107 losses (.829 winning percentage). He has been named District and/or Regional Coach of the Year 15 times, Won 14 Conference Titles, made 13 National Tournament appearances, coached 13 NAIA 1st team All-Americans, 2 NCAA II All-Americans and produced 5 NAIA scholar athletes.
Since taking over the women's program in the fall of 1992 Porter has not only produced exceptional team results but has assisted many players in achieving individual titles and honors. Some of the most notable include:
1994 NAIA National Singles Champion Anneli Ornstedt
1997 NAIA National Singles Champion Karin Ptaszek

If you followed my blog at all the first time around, you may notice that this time there are fewer photos presented in each post. This has been the source of an internal struggle for me. On my previous trip I became very accustom to taking a plethora of photos everywhere I turned. Charlie can attest to that fact. My habit was both rewarding and restricting. I reaped the rewards later when I was able to look back over the photos and reminisce of all my experience; however, living behind a camera can restrict the ability to fully live in the here-and-now. This short trip seems too short to hide behind a camera, thus I have limited my photo taking to (mostly) snapping shots of subjects and experience that are uncommon and/or meaningful to me personally. I am laying aside the old camera to be fully present in the current experience; because forfeiting the possibility of a good photograph to truly live deep in an experience is worth much more than a thousand words.
That being said, I will try to share a few photos throughout the blog, and here is a few to start with. Many of these are familiar scenes to me.
|The road in front of the Rehab Institute: Bagayam Junction just ahead.
|The road to Mrs. George's house. Charlie, it is paved now!!!
|Some of the many school children who swarmed me standing midst the local dairy farm.

Yesterday, Quartz published an essay by Ankita Rao, in which she argues that "selfies," images we take of ourselves, often with the intent of distributing them through social media sites, can be fun, but that they reveal our insecurities and a certain kind of posed inauthenticity as much as they do our real selves. Rao writes:
There is also the inevitable, palpable insecurity wrought in selfie culture — especially with those who often seek validation in the face they are willing to snapshot for the world. I often see that the photos people 'like' best are not the ones with most meaning, but the ones where they can easily justify a quick comments like "super hot" or, in worse case scenario, "werk it girlll".
It's further complicated by the constant, exhausting management of our online and real-life personas. Even if we enjoy the Twitter updates, the chronicling of food-truck tacos, the posting of political news, this new avatar is not native to our minds. And that can make our self-perception hazy at best. If someone else was taking your photo, on the other hand, they wouldn't be concentrating on hiding that scar you got when you were four because they could see you as more than the sum of your features. There's a reason the photos we take of ourselves are so different than those taken by others.
On the same day, Jenna Wortham, who covers social media for the New York Times, used the occasion of a rooftop picnic to reflect on the new video function that Facebook has added to Instagram. She argues, I think persuasively, that the problem with the video tool is that it's in tension with the very attributes that made Instagram popular in the first place, the ability to record, edit, and filter the color and light on images in a way that captures not the literal reality of a moment, but the emotions that make that moment worth capturing in the first place:
Last week, when Mark Zuckerberg, the chief executive of Facebook, and Kevin Systrom, the chief executive of Instagram, introduced the new video-sharing feature, they described it as the future of memory, a way to capture the moments and experiences that you wanted to remember and share them with your friends. But while that shaky video that I took on the roof was definitely steeped in reality and definitely true to the moment, it wasn't the version of the night that I wanted to remember or share with my Instagram friends.
That's because Instagram isn't about reality — it's about a well-crafted fantasy, a highlights reel of your life that shows off versions of yourself that you want to remember and put on display in a glass case for other people to admire and browse through. It's why most of the photographs uploaded to Instagram are beautiful and entertaining slices of life and not the tedious time in-between of those moments, when bills get paid, cranky children are put to bed, little spats with friends.
What I think Rao's essay misses, and that Wortham's reflections hint in the direction of, is that the way we pose, even if it's stilted or artificial, can be as revealing as documentary photograph taken on the sly. The preference for pursed lips in selfies tells us as much about what women see as valuable — a sense of sexual availability — as images of children dressed and standing like stiff little adults in oil paint, or portraits of powerful men surrounded by objects and images representing their offices and authority did. An image captured without a subject's knowledge can capture what they actually look like, or provide documentary evidence of what they wore, or what their office or home looked like, or what they ate or drank. But an image that a subject has participated in creating can tell us all of those things and how the subject wants to be seen. Just because someone wants to conceal or to highlight certain facets of their physical person, or their personality doesn't mean that they're succeeding. And the gap between intent and execution is often as interesting as the material facts of a scene.

Kid Friendly Recipes
Octopus Sushi (Cooked Sushi Recipe)
We've been setting up my little sis-in-law's school lunch menu as she's about to enter 1st grade tomorrow. She participated in the entire process. The little munchkin mentioned that she loves sushi and wanted to have some for lunch this school year. It's a fast and easy way for her to have a quick lunch, so I was happy to oblige. She also mentioned she loves baby octopus but she doesn't want to scare her friends away with weird food so I coarsely chopped them and used them as the filling along with other vegetables. I cooked each ingredient separately, let them cool completely and then combined then into sushi rolls. The sushi got an "A" from my sis-in-law, so I'll definitely be packing them for her this school year.
Involving children in preparing their own food encourages them to eat with more enthusiasm. Cooking in a fun environment is also a way to learn. If your kids aren't adventurous enough for octopus, you can try some of my other school lunch recipe ideas.

Back to School Lunch Ideas: Fig Cheese Appetizer Recipe
My husband's youngest sister is starting 1st grade next Wednesday. We just met her new teacher and classmates during a lovely potluck picnic this week. Our first "homework" is to prepare a menu for her lunch box. She's very excited about what we will pack for her.
Our family friend Chú Quân had kindly just brought us humongous fist-sized figs from his garden. I immediately thought of a snack my little sis-in-law wouldn't be able to resist. This fig and cheese sandwich recipe is ultra simple. I pack separate containers of the ingredients (fresh figs, fig jam, camembert and pizelle anise cookies) and let her assemble the snack!
I'll be posting more B2S recipes next week as my little munchkin starts school, so stay tuned!

Cheese Sandwiches with White Kidney Beans
I always tell the girls that the most important ingredient for cooking is TLC. Making cheese sandwiches is no exception. There must be several layers that bind together properly for the sandwich to be a success. For this version (made for a picnic during our recent trip to Ashland), I had fresh strawberries left-over. So I blended the fruits into a purée and mixed it with cream cheese, sun dried-tomatoes and chives. I spread the strawberry cream cheese into cheese Kaiser rolls and topped it with cannellini salad, which provides the protein for the vegetarians in my family.
If you too are planning picnics with your family before school starts again, give this easy recipe a try. And if you're looking for back to school ideas for your children, this recipe might be it!

Strawberry and Blueberry Fruit Salad Recipe (Coupe Fraises Myrtilles)
Berries are in season and we bought delicious flavorful blueberries and strawberries from Rogue Valley Farmers' Market in Ashland, Oregon. I was amazed to discover all the locally grown produce there.
Here's an easy and simple fruit salad I made for a picnic we had in Lithia Park that I wanted to share with you. I took the blueberries and strawberries from the market and served them along with brownies and chantilly (whipped cream). It was a real success, as there were only empty bowls to bring home.

Gourmet Red Potato Salad Recipe
This potato salad recipe is unique in that it contains no eggs. My husband Lulu doesn't like mayonnaise and one of his sisters is allergic to eggs, so I made an eggfree salad dressing using chipotle peppers, lime, cream cheese, sour cream, roasted Roma tomatoes, roasted red bell peppers, red wine vinegar and pickled garlic. I used wax potatoes from our garden which add color to the salad. To the potatoes, I added red radishes, celery, sun-dried tomatoes, red kidney beans, pine nuts and a myriad of herbs. It's perfect for a summer picnic!
Gardening with the girls... They were so proud of finding the potatoes!

A Shelby County grand jury has replaced felony criminal charges against former Millington Mayor Richard Hodges with new corruption counts and included Marlin Roberts, the owner of a Millington transmission shop, with Hodges in the new charges.
The Shelby County grand jury charges were announced Monday, March 5, by Shelby County District Attorney General Amy Weirich and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation director Mark Gwyn.
Hodges, who had been charged with two counts of bribery for soliciting money in exchange for political favors is now charged with three counts of bribery.
Roberts is charged with two counts of bribery, two counts of possession with intent to sell the prescription drug Vicodin and one count of simple drug possession.
The first indictment against Hodges was returned by the grand jury in October following a set of raids by TBI agents and the Shelby County Sheriff's office that summer that included Millington City Hall as well as Robert's transmission shop. An affidavit filed with the search warrants alleged Roberts was operating an illegal gambling operation out of his business and that Hodges frequented it and did favors for Roberts because he owed Roberts in gambling debts. The affidavit also identified the informant in the case as Roberts.
Weirich and Gwyn said in a written statement Monday that the investigation of Hodges and Roberts continued after the first set of indictments and resulted in the charges announced Monday.
Hodges resigned as mayor in January as he awaits trial. He has pleaded not guilty to the first set of charges. Former Millington alderwoman Linda Carter was appointed interim mayor to serve the remaining year left in Hodges four year term of office.
Since then, the aldermen have discussed changing Millington's form of government to a city manager-type government.

Mary Oliver has a new book, A Thousand Mornings. I just got my copy and am already blown away by her new poems. Here's one that seems appropriate as our Christmas collection went to repair Hurricane Sandy damage at Mercy Haven, an organization for the homeless on Long Island run by two sisters who are regular Holy Week retreatants with us.
It didn't behave
like anything you had
ever imagined. The wind
tore at the trees, the rain
fell for days slant and hard.
The back of the hand
to everything. I watched
the trees bow and their leaves fall
and crawl back into the earth.
As though, that was that.
This was one hurricane
I lived through, the other one
was of a different sort, and
lasted longer. Then
I felt my own leaves giving up and
falling. The back of the hand to
everything. But listen now to what happened
to the actual trees;
toward the end of that summer they
pushed new leaves from their stubbed limbs.
It was the wrong season, yes,
but they couldn't stop. They
looked like telephone poles and didn't
care. And after the leaves came
blossoms. For some things
there are no wrong seasons.
Which is what I dream of for me.
The first Ordinary Time Sunday and its Wedding Feast of Cana gospel brought out six of Brother Thomas's pots as the highlight of a creatively-expressed gospel story.
And finally, a note on guests. This weekend we had six students from the Gannon University Catholic House, recently renamed the Trautman House after our newly-retired bishop. An intentional residence, five of them are undergrads and one is a graduate student. They came for an overnight and a day of retreat/planning, etc. It's for groups such as this that I think our hospitality options are such a gift. It's always great to have them.

The left has a new talking point — actually a taunt — regarding Tom Cotton's letter to Iran. In unison, the left is tweeting that the Senator, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, couldn't find Iran on a map.
Accusing a political adversary of being a yokel — that's just the kind of insightful analysis we can count on from the left.
New York Times columnist Roger Cohen joined the chorus with this tweet: "Outrageous behavior from Republican senators who can't find Iran on a map."
But Bridget Johnson points out that it's actually the New York Times that can't locate Iran. Just yesterday, the Times offered this correction:
An earlier version of a map with this article mislabeled the country where the Islamic State has been destroying antiquities. It is Iraq, not Iran.
If there are yokels in this matter, they are to be found at the New York Times, not in the U.S. Senate.

10 years ago if you told me I'd be taking a Bee Keeping class I would have laughed and probably made a few sarcastic remarks.
Amazing how much one changes in a decade!
These pictures were taken at Montshire Museum of Science when we visited Vermont.
I am taking a bee keeping class locally through Adult Ed. We have 1 more class to go and two days in the field come May. Should be interesting! I will definitely take my camera along on one of those field trips. I am not sure if I will start a hive this summer or next. We have had our share of financial setbacks this year and it is not cheap to get up and going. The only supplies I have so far are gloves, my farmer friend plans to build me a hive soon. I'd be willing to do this project with a friend and share the expenses & honey come fall but I've yet to find someone crazy enough to join me in this venture…lol. I never imagined how much is involved in the bee keeping process. They are AMAZING little creatures! I am hoping to incorporate them into Flower Girl's homeschooling adventure next year. This surely will be one heck of a Science lesson!

Upcoming Events!
Dinner in the Field 2019
April 28 Tickets Here
The relationship with food that young people develop through Greauxing Healthy Baton Rouge empowers them to make positive decisions concerning their own health and nutrition and that of their families and neighbors.
What we eat is a cornerstone of who we are--physically, personally, and culturally. Through GHBR, we facilitate gardening, nutrition, and food systems education in local elementary schools in the hope we might help strengthen our communities and work against our city' growing health crises.
Instead, we are partnering with exceptional teachers and administrators in our public schools so that the next generation of bankers, lawyers, teachers, business people, artists, doctors, AND farmers will all have a greater appreciation for where their food comes from, for how to buy and eat well, and for how essential a healthy and connected community is for a good life.
contributions from Whole Foods, BlueCross BlueShield, the Whole Kids Foundation, a USDA F2S grant through EBR schools, and donors to Slow Food Baton Rouge.
Greauxing Healthy Baton Rouge partners with local teachers, administrators, PTOs, and volunteers to improve food and food production education in our elementary schools. With our help, students design their own gardens and planting schedules, learn the basics of how to grow and eat with the seasons, meet growers and chefs from their own communities, and ultimately share their experiences with each other and their families.
We are also firm believers that producing food is an interdisciplinary and generalist affair. Our in-school and after-school programs provide real world extension to students' lessons in math, social studies, and the sciences.
...applying geography to mapping the origins of students' families' food, seeing biology play out in real life as bean seeds are dissected and sprouted, testing math skills as they plan and build their garden beds, and witnessing the magic of chemistry and physics as their crops growing bigger, taller, and more delicious.
We make it all fun!
But we are looking to expand to more classes and schools in the coming seasons. If you are interested in seeing your children participate, tell your school administrators or PTO to contact Slow Food Baton Rouge through the contact info at the right.
Whether it's new guest speakers, extra hands to do some lifting, or hungry bellies to buy from a student-run market, we're always looking for interested community members to help out.
If you're interested in volunteer opportunities with Greauxing Healthy Baton Rouge, view and complete our Volunteer Application here. If you're a local grower or chef, contact our Program Director Bryan at firstname.lastname@example.com for unique opportunities to join in the fun.
And we hope to hear from you soon.
