This Is Us: Memphis (2017)
Absolute PERFECTION
Is there a higher rating than 10? Not really sure what else to say, except this is probably the best hour of television I have seen since "Ozymandias" of "Breaking Bad". "This Is Us" has to be one of the best, if not the best, shows on television right now. And I'm not comparing this to "Breaking Bad" in any way as the shows are totally different, but I haven't been this satisfied with an hour of television since that episode of "Breaking Bad". Pretty much recommended for just about anyone as it goes deep into some of the deepest emotions life has to offer. In some ways it reminded me of "The Lion King" and "The Circle of Life", which is also a pure masterpiece of a movie, in my opinion. You'll understand when you watch this episode just what I am talking about. I would highly recommend watching the episodes leading up to this one to get to know the characters, but I would not say it is absolutely 100% necessary as long as you know the basic premise of the show. I say this because this is without a doubt the best episode of the series up to this point. If you just want to watch a power-house packed episode of emotions and gain a new perspective on life, watch this episode. Gather around with your family, grab some tissues, and enjoy.
Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)
Good movie, NOT great
*Minor Spoilers*
I went to this movie today expecting an awesome movie, not quite as good but close to some of the three original episodes, but was sorely mistaken. Anyone who thinks this movie is better than any of the original ones is out of their mind, as I've seen some people ranking it ahead of "Return of the Jedi" when listing their rank of the movies. Yes, it's light years better than episode I & II which isn't saying too much, but I think comparably it's maybe a little bit better than episode III because of the nostalgia and return of the original characters, but mostly it felt more like a reboot than a sequel. Yes, it was awesome seeing Harrison Ford and Chewbacca come on for the first time, but Carrie Fisher (Leia) has very little screen time, and Mark Hamill virtually made a cameo and didn't even speak a line of dialogue. For big star wars fans I'd say definitely go see it, but don't have your expectations too high. It's a good movie, not great, and if you go into the theater with that mindset you will enjoy it, yes.
The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Nowhere close to Scorsese's best
A bit of an understatement, but it definitely has it's weak spots unlike the near masterpieces of the likes of Raging Bull, Goodfellas, and Casino. "The Wolf of Wall Street" in a way, reminded me of Goodfellas and Scarface. Both stories about a man who rises to fame and fortune, only to fall by his own graces. But that is really the only comparison I can find between them. Other than that, all "The Wolf" is about is a drugged up stock broker named Jordan Belfort who inexplicably figures out how to make millions in the stock market, along with some other guys who pretty much also come out of nowhere. After one meeting with Matthew Mcconaughey's character, Jordan suddenly becomes a genius stock broker and drug addict. Jordan and his buds seem to be doing something illegal, and are being chased by an FBI agent, but it's never fully explained what exactly how are breaking the law. Basically, the movie is just complete style over substance. Though it was funny and Dicaprio was excellent, that was about all the movie had going for it. But either his character or any of the other ones gave us a reason for the audience to care about them. All they do is snort cocaine 24/7, have aimless sex, and somehow have no consequences. It's like a fantasy world where everybody is completely comfortable with this behavior. This could only happen in the movies. Basically the movie felt like an unrated version of The Great Gatsby, which also starred Dicaprio. That's probably the best way to summarize it.
Friday Night Lights (2006)
Clear eyes, Full Hearts, Cant Lose!
I can't find a strong enough word in my vocabulary to describe how spectacular and engrossing this show is. I remember when I first heard about it eight or so years ago when the show premiered. To be honest, after seeing the movie, I thought it would be cheesy and not all that good. After Breaking Bad ended, I needed a new show to watch and while searching for the best shows available on netflix streaming, this was near the top of the list. And I can truly say even after watching something as incredible as Breaking Bad, I think this show is almost more special in it's own way.It doesn't need violence and drugs to be to be entertaining. I remember right after watching the pilot, I couldn't stop and stayed up till 7 am watching. It will pull you in that quickly, especially if you are a football fan. Not that you cant watch it if you don't like football or don't know much about it. I absolutely love football. Love watching it and played it in high school. But football is absolutely the least interesting aspect of this show. The first episode of the series goes through each day leading up to the first game of the season. After watching it I thought every episode would be that way. But after seeing the end of the pilot I realized the show is about much much more than just football. Football is just a backdrop.
The most important part of the show are the lives of the characters off the field, focusing on the head coach and his wife and their daughter, as well as the players. He is more of a father figure to these players before he is a coach. The main theme of the show is that people have dreams. It shows everyday problems that people face, which we can all relate to in one way or another. Then it shows these dreams can come true if you have someone who believes in you and is willing to help you until you reach these dreams. The show creates these characters in a pretty cliché fashion. But what makes the show so great is these characters are brought to life, making the viewer able to literally feel the emotions of these characters, even without words being spoken. For the most part, the acting is incredible by most of the cast. The way the show is shot makes you feel like you are in the room with these people. This show will move your emotions and make you laugh,cry, smile and cheer. There's not many other shows out there that can hit you with so many ranges of emotions. You really feel like you are a part of these peoples lives, and you really become connected to them. You are able to watch them change with your own eyes. You will think differently about life and football after watching it, I can guarantee that.
Breaking Bad: Felina (2013)
Best finale in television history
Whether the finale made everyone happy or not, it doesn't really matter. If this episode didn't move you're emotions, then you didn't watch the series close enough. It was a hell of a fitting ending for this series, and a spectacular one at that. If you have been watching this show for at least the last year, this episode is what all breaking bad fans could have wished for in a finale. It's not a sopranos ending when you have to make your own interpretation. Every loose end is tied up like expected. Yes, it was somewhat predictable,but the execution was marvelous and it was emotional, for me, how it ended. These guys obviously aren't getting off easy. They have been put through more heartache and disaster than just about any average human being could bear. That's what is so great about the series though. It takes two realistic, average characters and transforms them into totally different people. Just goes to show what comes with choosing a life where you are hurting others and making bad decisions. Walt and Jesse are shells of the people they once were, the unique personalities they once had, and the families and ones they loved that they lost. Whether they evade the cops or not, Walt and Jesse are dead on the inside. But there is still a little moral victory left to happen.
Breaking Bad (2008)
Extremely realistic and clever
My brother recommended this show to me a year ago or so because he said it was the best show he had ever seen. I got lucky and saw they were playing the re-runs starting from the first episode on AMC and playing them in order. After the first three episodes I was completely hooked. Best three episodes of TV I have ever seen. And it only gets more gripping from there. Watching this show is like watching something that could take place in real life in the third person. It is 100% realistic and makes you believe your neighbor or someone you know could be doing the same thing. The writers in the show are just so amazingly clever and unpredictable. Absolutely no clichés and magnificent story telling. Some of these so clever events I guarantee will make your jaw drop in awe. Of course the main character has two years to live so it is no mystery that he will die eventually. So you pretty you have a guy who decides, as the title suggests, to 'Break Bad'. Which pretty much means get as much money as possible manufacturing and selling crystal meth to support his wife, teenage son (who has cerebral palsy), and soon to-be daughter. His brother in-law works for the DEA also and is always one step away from catching Walt, which only adds to the tension.
So he teams up with a former low life student who has connections to get their product on the market. The relationship between him and this student is by far the most electric in the show. They are both EXCELLENT in this show and even more in their scenes together. There chemistry, no pun intended, is just perfect. The acting from the rest of the cast is just terrific also. Anyway, this show is one of the best, if not best shows EVER to air on television. Definitely my favorite. If you are looking for a show that will keep you engaged for the full 40 minutes, with few laughs, some top-notch drama, acting, scenarios, and unpredictability, this one is for you. Definitely give it a try if you have not seen it. You will be glad you did.
The Shining (1980)
Quite a classic
What does the Shining mean? You have to watch the movie yourself to really know, but once you do it will blow you away. This is quite simply the best horror films of all time. If not, it is the best movie i have ever seen in my life. From the beginning, the plot is pretty simple. Jack Torrance (Nicholson) becomes the caretaker of the Overlook Hotel for the winter. The owner of the hotel says that the previous owner went crazy and killed his entire family. Torrance disregards these facts and says that he will be perfectly capable of being the caretaker.
The great thing about the movie is the events that play out when Torrance and his wife and son become completely alone in the hotel. It is pretty obvious, since it is classified as a horror, that some serious disturbing events are going to take place. The way that it happens is really what makes the movie work. Kubrick uses his spectacular ways to make this movie into a classic. I don't care if it is totally different than the book. A book is not a movie, that is just a plain and simple fact. This movie will still scare the crap out of you whether you read the book or not. Even scenes with just one word will make you jump. If you watch, do watch it with someone else, because you will be talking about it forever.
Pulp Fiction (1994)
Best movie of all time, in my opinion.
I can't figure out why I love this movie so much. I have seen it more times than I can count and still it never gets old. It is a very unique movie. I particularly love the ending, and think it is the best scene in cinema history (some great acting by Samuel L. Jackson). The movie isn't meant to have a moral, which is indicated from the "pulp" part of the title. But in not trying to teach us a lesson, the film hits even harder with one . I believe the movie is actually very deep with themes such as forgiveness and redemption. One moment Butch is about to kill Marcellus, the next he is saving him. Jules is wrapped up in the life of crime and suddenly he sees a sign from god that he is a terrible person and he acts on this. From Jules passage he has an epiphany that what he has being doing is wrong and realizes he needs to help someone else to start his journey towards redemption. Everyone has something they want to change in their life, something they want improved. This was just the beginning of Jules transformation. Though he isn't just stopping and forgetting all he has done wrong, he feels he owes a favor to the world and that was just the beginning transformation. If you have seen the movie you will understand.

OKLAHOMA CITY New research by the Oklahoma Tobacco Research Center (OTRC) shows that concentrations of secondhand tobacco smoke inhaled in smoking rooms of restaurants and bars are exceptionally high and hazardous to health.
According to the study, which appears in the center's new report "Tobacco Smoke Pollution in Oklahoma Workplaces," the average particulate level measured in restaurant smoking rooms was beyond the hazardous extreme based on levels established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The level found in bars was even worse.
"These levels are exceptionally high and not healthy for the employees and patrons exposed to particles found in secondhand smoke," said Heather Basara, M.D., an industrial hygienist and lead investigator on the research.
Tobacco smoke levels were evaluated based on measurements of very fine suspended particulates in the air, particles smaller than 2.5 microns, which come primarily from tobacco smoke.
Levels averaged 380 g/m3 (micrograms per cubic meter of air) in the restaurant smoking rooms tested, and 655 g/m3 in the bars. Restaurants with no smoking averaged just 26 g/m3.
The EPA scale ranks outdoor levels of particulate pollution as "unhealthy" at 66-150, "very unhealthy"' at 151-250, and "hazardous" at higher concentrations such as the levels found in the Oklahoma restaurant smoking rooms and bars tested for this report.
Robert McCaffree, M.D., Co-Director of OTRC, said, "Secondhand smoke exposure is a serious health hazard, accounting for approximately 700 deaths a year in Oklahoma, mostly from heart disease including heart attacks and lung cancer. Even brief exposure is harmful. Because this exposure is readily preventable, business owners and public policy makers would be well-advised to act as soon as possible to assure smokefree environments for all public places and all indoor workplaces."
Particulates were monitored using a TSI Sidepak AM510 Personal Aerosol Monitor. Sixty-second average readings for at least 30 minutes were recorded in 67 indoor locations in central Oklahoma; following nationally recognized protocols established by the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, New York. Time weighted averages were calculated for each of the locations. The full report is accessible at the OTRC Web site at www.ouhsc.edu/otrc/research/.

Cricket was thrown into further turmoil on the eve of one of its most important tournaments. The resignation of Tim May, the voice of cricketers worldwide for the last eight years, brought into stark relief the mess that the game finds itself in as the Champions Trophy begins tomorrow.
Stepping down as chief executive of Fica, the umbrella body for players' unions, he said: "Cricket increasingly seems to be pushing aside the principles of transparency, accountability, independence, and upholding the best interests of the global game, in favour of a system that appears to operate through threats, intimidation and backroom deals."
May, the former Australia off spinner, probably decided enough was enough a month ago when his place as a players' representative on the ICC's cricket committee was usurped at the last moment after he had already been elected.
Since then the game has been rocked by spot-fixing scandals in its most lucrative competition, the Indian Premier League, and in the Bangladesh Premier League. The ICC seems powerless to cope.
May's departure will not have any effect on the ICC or the way that the Board of Control for Cricket in India truly calls all the big shots. But it was accompanied by a warning from Angus Porter, the chief executive of the Professional Cricketers' Association which represents all the players in this country.
Porter said: "I think there are many good things about the game and its quality. We're about to go into a fantastic competition but I think we are at a real crossroads. If we want the game to kick on and thrive for the next 100 years, as it has for the last, it needs proper governance."
The ICC has steadfastly declined to act on the recommendations of the Woolf Report which it commissioned last year. Lord Woolf had suggested an overhaul of the ICC to reflect its global status rather than "reacting as a members' club". The report was quietly ignored after the BCCI took against it, though Porter called it "the best game in town".

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Cichlids
- - apisto pop control
apisto pop control Soo.... to be honest I never really figured on my apistos breeding for any number of reason, but hey, I guess fish have needs too. at any rate my 29 gal was stocked right to the brim as it were, and now I have about 8 .5" to 1" baby apistos swimming all about. Whats the best way to handle the population boom? I really dont have any other tank to move them to. the water in my firebelly tank will kill them, the 110 tank they will be an appetizer, and my 10 gal is just about over stocked itself with the severum growing out in there. since they are all from the same batch will the fry spawn with each other? If not I could always get maybe ONE more tank for them, but not if they are going to keep making more fry. option B is giving them to any of the 3 or 4 LFS' where they will prolly just get flushed :( |
Buy a 12g tank, foam filter, heater, and glass canopy. Use the water from the tank they are in to fill the tank. Only option I can recommend. |
but... what happens when the 2 original apistos spawn again? |
You don't have an LFS that will buy them from you or even take them for free and resell? The only LFS in my area that carries apistos charge like $10 apiece for them. I'm surprised they wouldn't want the fish. |
I honestly didnt think without being a "breeder" they would resell my fish. but thats a neat idea :D ill go down there tomorrow! |
Most lfs will take them. Ask the to trade for things you need like food for the other fish. They'll get their money back. I wish you were just a bit closer..I'd buy them from you!! Sounds like a good excuse to pull the barbs out of my 55 and fill with Apistos...my dream fishy |
how far is browns mills from wildwood, NJ? im heading down there in the not too distant future lol |
You have to drive past me to get to Wildwood! Heck..I'd do the drive to Wildwood not to have to pay $50 shipping!! Wildwood itself is only about 45 minutes from my house...we go down all the time! PM me what your thinking. I'd be happy to buy a few from you |

The software Camorama seems like just what you need. And if you have trouble getting the webcam to work with Ubuntu, then PLEASE write to Logitech and let them know that you need Linux support for their cameras. Logitech is rightfully ignoring the Linux community, because for some reason Linux users are not telling them that we need their products to work.

Pack less. Be more.
Beware of frisky cattle…..
Pub doorway in Glen Coe.
From one of our coastal trails… fast packing may be required!
This one isn't so funny, except by the time you see it, it's too late:
Remember to Leave No Trace….
I don't have a picture but this is the sign from China
"Disorganized Tourists Assemble Here."
Just a bit overdone with the warning…
A better translation:
The grass is resting.
Please do not disturb.
That's just as humorous.
Any great signs that you have found on your recent travels?
Next time you are in REI look in the book section. They have a book full of signs like these from around the world.
"Any great signs that you have found on your recent travels?"
Here's one from Hong Kong — not my pic — but pretty "amazing" translation — given 150 friggin' years of British rule!
Any questions? :)
The "You Might Die" sign. Two people have died from heat exhaustion since someone stole the sign — but people were dying on the trail when it was posted — I guess they couldn't read. And they must have missed the sign below earlier on the trail…
I kept walking….
Dooomed! ;)
Luckily no information needed here.
Found this gem in rural Louisiana. All the back roads in this area are named after men who I surmise lived there once upon a time. With a name like that clearly he was a man to remember.
The first one is at the trailhead, the second one was repeated along the trail. Let's see… there are, ummm, don't tell me… I'll guess BEARS here, right?

text: I rejoiced with drunkenness those who said to me, "Let us go to the house of the Lord" (Psalm 122:1). This Sunday, we celebrated the grand opening of our new building. I know, I've been using the building of that thing as fodder for illustrations in this column for a while now, but if you've seen the place on Ga. Highway 212 between Bethany and Ga. Highway 81, you know why we're pretty excited about it. It's beautiful, not just because of the stained glass or stonework, or even the bell tower with a real bell in it. It's beautiful because God is here. He promises that wherever two or three are gathered together in his name, there he is with us (Matthew 18:20). And I know that can be anywhere: A school cafeteria (we've done that), a living room, even a double-wide, if that's what we would have built. But our God is worth more than that. And he proved he can do so much more than that. And so we celebrate our new building, more for what it does than what it is. All the beauty has a purpose. It's designed to point our eyes to heaven and to our Savior that gives heaven to us. So our new home is not about how pretty this home is, it is about how beautiful our heavenly home is. And that is what our text from Revelation 22 is all about, where John describes his vision of heaven with absolute beauty and peace and prosperity: "No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city," and he goes on and on, giving the real picture of our inheritance, reminding us of our victory, of our eternal home. We are, as God so clearly calls us, "Saints Triumphant." We need to hear that. Too often, our lives look like we've lost. Just last weekend, my family was told to say our goodbyes to my wife's dad because the cancer has spread again, and now it is all over his brain, too. They don't think it will be long at all. Last month, the body of the 2-month-old daughter of one of my very good friends didn't wake up from her normal, healthy, afternoon nap. In that context, how victorious do you think you'd feel? Wouldn't it be all too easy to get depressed or sulk in the misery of your life? Sometimes God's word just doesn't let us do that. It has to go and confront us with the facts. Death doesn't have the victory. As much as it might look otherwise, death has already lost on both of those counts and it will, every time. That little baby is not defeated, but stands with her God right now. My father-in-law is not dying as an end, but as a beginning. They are saints triumphant. We are saints triumphant. I know, it doesn't look like it. A tiny casket doesn't look victorious. Cancer doesn't look victorious. We sinners don't look victorious. As much as our pride might want to say we look like saints…as much as we may say we want to get away from all the pettiness of life and the hard feelings and the disagreements and the immorality and greed and pride and crassness of life in this world, and as much as we might want to just huddle up at church and hide from the rest of life in that beautiful place with all these saints, where everything should be happy, there's a problem with that: We're there. And in our hearts, we carry around the greed and pride and immorality and crassness of the world. We carry sin. There's no hiding from it, even in church, as beautiful as it may be. But do you remember what our text says about "there"? Literally, it reads: "No longer will there be any cursed thing." No longer will there be anything that is touched by sin or infected with sin. We can not say that about our building, but we can say it about where our building points us, to heaven. But doesn't that present a problem? If nothing with sin can be in heaven, we have no hope until we see the source of the life-giving water in our text, the water that makes the whole city come alive, that nourishes heaven. The water of life is flowing from the "throne of God and of the Lamb." The Lamb of God, the sacrifice for our sins, has taken away the sin of the world. You know the truth. "God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life." That makes the difference and that makes us Saints Triumphant. So we get to be at the place described in Revelation 22, where he is and where we get to eat from that tree of life, that feeds us the fruit of the Spirit and strengthens us with his word. We get to be where we can see God's face fully and understand all the answers to all the questions that our hearts wrestle with. We get to be so secure in him that his name is written on our foreheads. We get to be where there is nothing to hide and no night — where we never have to stop doing what we will want to do more than anything else — praise God! And here's the thing — we get to start here. So come to church. Come, see the place where God dwells, and be reminded of the place where you will dwell with him forever.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Shairwend Early OriginsThe surname Shairwend was first found in Nottinghamshire where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the census rolls taken by the ancient Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects. Shairwend Spelling VariationsShairwend Spelling VariationsBefore English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago, spelling variations of names were a common occurrence. Elements of Latin, French and other languages became incorporated into English through the Middle Ages, and name spellings changed even among the literate. The variations of the surname Shairwend include Sherwin, Sherwyn, Sherwins and others.

More information about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible. The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationA great wave of immigration to the New World was the result of the enormous political and religious disarray that struck England at that time. Families left for the New World in extremely large numbers. The long journey was the end of many immigrants and many more arrived sick and starving. Still, those who made it were rewarded with an opportunity far greater than they had known at home in England. These emigrant families went on to make significant contributions to these emerging colonies in which they settled. Some of the first North American settlers carried this name or one of its variants: John Sherwin who arrived in New England in 1679; John Sherwin arrived in New York in 1820; John, Thomas and William Sherwin, all arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania between 1840 and 1870..

Last week, I was lucky enough to have yet another friend visit Madrid. This time it was Iris – a friend whom I've know since I was in 5th grade. She and her fiance were traveling through Spain, leaving Madrid as their final stop.
She arrived on Thursday, so we decided to meet up in Plaza de Santa Ana where we would start our tour of tapas – always a crowd favorite. We began at Lateral where we started the evening summer-style with gazpacho and tinto de veranos (a summer drink made of red wine, flavored sparkling water and ice). From there we headed to several other spots where we knew they would be able to try yummy tapas. During these stops we learned that neither of them had been at all impressed with the cuisine in Spain, but that during this tapas tour they had completely changed their perspective. The thing about Spanish food is that it can be rather confusing if you don't understand it – if you get a menu translated into English, the food sounds horrible, or if you try to translate it yourself, it will sound equally as horrible. It's all about understanding the dishes and knowing what to order, and then you will rarely be disappointed, and in fact become obsessed (like me).
After several stops for tapas we decided to head to the top of the Urban hotel for drinks, where we actually met up with another group of Americans traveling through Madrid – friends of an old colleague of mine. We stayed there for a couple of hours just enjoying drinks, the amazing view, the fantastic night temperature, and just chatting it up about everything.
The next day, after a long day at work, we picked up Iris and Brian to take them to one of our favorite spots – the small town of El Molar. I've always taken my guests there because it is incredibly rural, hidden, has the most amazing meat, and is very charming with it's cool caves where you can have dinner! We started with drinks at one of the restaurants at which time the camarero offered to let us walk in their caves that weave underneath the mountain and connect with other restaurants. This was really special because we hadn't ever had the chance to walk deep into the caves. It was so super cool – they gave each of us a candle and we were able to just get lost in the caves that curved and split in various places…watching our heads as we ducked into tight spaces. Dinner was of course amazing as usual. I'm not a big meat eater, but this meat is just plain out of this world.
The next day, we had very big day planned – on the itinerary was Segovia (again, I know), La Granja and Avila. See, Iris and Brian were such enthusiastic and grateful guests that we were eager to make sure that they had the most amazing time possible. So, being the energetic group that we are, we pushed full speed ahead hitting the as many stops as possible.
The next morning brought another important occasion – they were lucky enough to be visiting during the fiestas for our town, San Sebastian de los Reyes, which, if you remember, includes a running of the bulls each morning of the week. What's so cool about this running of the bulls is that it is the second largest in Spain behind Pamplona, but rather than being full of foreigners, it's all Spaniards – the real deal. And in fact, it's been happening in our town since 1525!
It was a crazy mess of people. Usually it hadn't been quite so busy, but since we were going on the weekend, the crowds were much larger. We ended up watching the run and then entering the Plaza de Toros afterward to watch the usual taunting of the teen-aged bull by equally energetic teen-aged boys.
We drove Iris and Brian straight to the airport after that, at which point we returned home for an hour, packed our suitcases, showered, and headed back to the airport to catch our flight to Florence, Italy!!
Ahhh, the adventure never ends :).
What a week Kim and I have had! I arrived here in Madrid last Tuesday, followed by Kim on Thursday. I couldn't have asked for better timing – it's not easy transitioning back to life here, and having a buddy with me while I get back into the swing of things cheered me up more than I ever could have imagined.
We had quite the itinerary laid out for Kim and she was up for the challenge. The first day Kim arrived she was a real champ – we pretty much headed right out to tour Madrid. We hit up Retiro Park, Puerta de Alcala, The Prado, and even shopping on Serrano – all before heading to drinks, dinner, then drinks again with Jacob. Kim powered through the night without a trace of jet lag.
The next day we returned to Madrid to finish up the site seeing, which included the Palace, Plaza Mayor, Sol, Gran Via and more shopping! We capped off the day with an evening at Jacob's friend Manu's house for homemade paella on the BBQ – best paella ever!!!
Saturday we hit the road and headed out to Segovia – Kim's favorite spot on the trip. On the drive home we swung by La Granja (a palace with beautiful gardens) and made the trip home for a nice dinner in Madrid.
Sunday brought a new excursion for me – Salamanca. The city known for its university, was extra charming and like no other Spanish city I'd visited before. What we especially loved is that we were able to walk the perimeter of the inside and outside of the cathedral – a unique perspective that we'd never had the opportunity to see in the past. We discovered breathtaking views both inside and out (albeit a little frightening for me at times!).
Yesterday brought my favorite event of all – the running of the bulls here in San Sebastian de los Reyes. It happens all week this week (which is especially fortuitous since I have another friend coming on Thursday). We headed out early to reserve our spots to view the run. It didn't disappoint! While short, it is exhilarating to watch nonetheless. Be sure to visit the movies page to see a clip of the race.
After the running of the bulls, Kim and I made the long trip to and from Toledo. Toledo is always a charming destination – although taking public transportation for virtually the entire expedition was exhausting for sure! In the future I think it should be best left to those with cars. We made up for the journey though by capping off the day, and her trip, with dinner in the caves of a local village – yes caves (they are natural caves used in old times for wine)! Each table had its own little cave, like a cubby hole. It was a unique and distinctly Spanish way to finish off her trip.
Now we have sent Kim off and fortunately I have another guest right around the corner. My friend Robin will be out on Thursday, at which time I will begin the tour of Spain again! Good thing I love this place! More to come next week…
While my mom was here, I was fortunate enough to return to one of my favorite places in Spain – Toledo. I traveled there for the first time when I first visited Spain. I had taken a day trip out there by myself and it truly was the highlight of that first trip. It's a hilly compact city with a maze of charming miniature alleys and streets. A "must see" if you're visiting Spain!
During our weekend itinerary we were also able to see an insanely amazing flamenco show at a restaurant in Madrid. I had only seen flamenco once before, and this time it just blew my socks off. I am trying to figure out how to upload the video my mom took to my site…so stay tuned. It's virtually impossible to articulate how impressive it was!
We also took a trip up north to Segovia and La Granja, both places I've visited in the past. Segovia has an amazing Roman aqueduct that made me feel like I was right back in Rome. The city also has a gorgeous cathedral and an Alcazar (castle) that was an inspiration for the Disney castle. In La Granja we went to the palace and showed my mom the gardens famous for having over 100 fountains.
I certainly can't complain about the opportunity to visit these places multiple times! Many thanks to Jacob for being the best tour guide and host ever – he gladly visits these places time and time again with the enthusiasm of someone seeing them for the first time!
Unfortunately, my mom has left now, so now it's time to start getting settled….well, sort of. Next stop – Almeria, a city in southern Spain, later this week. It will be a nice beach vacation :-). I think I can get used to this!

A Christmas Cupcake Stall at Bangor's Christmas Market
6 comments:
Wowsers. As if you didn't mention this on skype the other day. You must've been baking for days! I wouldn've totally gone for the candy cane brownies and the minis. So the big question is -how much did you make? Profit I mean!
I love the baubles ones - such a great flavour combo. Perhaps you should see if you can get a stall at the bangor market? I could see it becoming really popular! xxxWow indeed! Great job - how long did it take you to make these?! I feel your pain about the washing up as I don't have a dishwasher either and when I bake up a storm it takes days to clean! Back to the cakes - love the bauble cake for look and flavour. The hot chocolate ones would be 2nd fav. Love the idea of the egg boxes too. I tend to buy mine in a big tray so don't have egg boxes anymore.
ReplyDeleteThis is so exciting. They all look great and sound yummy! I wish I had the time and opportunity to do something like these. Such great flavours, you should be super impressed with yourself. Also tried out the brown sugar icing and, you're right, its taste exactly like cookies dough. amazing! x

Adverts highlight drug dangers
A new television campaign highlighting the dangers of drug abuse has been launched by the Scottish Executive.
The adverts, which form part of the �6.3m Know the Score initiative, mark a change in strategy by ministers. They have moved away from the "just say no" tactics of the past into a new phase, highlighting the need to know about the effects of drug abuse and addiction.
The adverts publicise a helpline and website and are also being transmitted over the internet and on radio. Dr Richard Simpson, the deputy justice minister, said: "The reality is that drug misuse can ruin a young person's potential and the enjoyment they can get from life. "All drugs can be dangerous. It can also badly affect their family and the community in which they live through generating drug-related crime. 'Throwing in the towel' "We will provide high quality, evidence-based information to help young people make the informed and healthy choice not to take drugs." The minister said the campaign follows extensive research and contains the "powerful message" that young people on drugs are missing out on some of the best years of their lives. Conservative justice spokesman James Douglas Hamilton said not enough was being done to discourage youngsters from taking drugs. "Instead of throwing in the towel and softening its policy towards drug abuse, the executive should have persevered with the message that drug abuse is dangerous and stepped up efforts to overcome the drugs menace," he said. He criticised the executive for being "short-sighted" and sending out the wrong message to young people. |

About the Louden Nelson Community Center
Mission Statement
The Center's mission is to seek a balance between social, recreational and cultural services to the diverse communities of Santa Cruz. The Center strives to create a space that feels welcoming, comfortable, safe and accessible to all who use it.
History of the Center
Our building, built as an elementary school in 1932, was designed by William Weeks in the Mission Revival style. Shortly after the close of the school in 1973, the idea of a multi-cultural community center took hold. Local activists persuaded City and County governments to jointly fund the project, and it opened in 1978 as Laurel Community Center and has served our community for over 30 years.
The name of the Center was changed to honor Louden Nelson, a former slave who lived in Santa Cruz in the 1850's. According to early accounts, Louden Nelson was a black man born in North Carolina in 1800. He came to Santa Cruz about 1853 with his master and was apparently freed at that time. He obtained land near the river where he gardened and cobbled. Louden Nelson seemed to be rather well known, selling his produce to many townspeople.
In 1860, during his final illness and prior to his death, Nelson made an oral will leaving his entire estate to the school district. The district had recently closed the school and Nelson had a high regard for education. Louden Nelson died on May 17, 1860. The Weekly Sentinel printed a remarkable and lengthy obituary, praising Nelson for his gift to the schools. He is buried at Evergreen Cemetery, near Harvey West Park.
There are binders available at the Louden Nelson front desk containing articles and probate papers that will provide history and background on this remarkable man.

... have) but makes sense why we always thought he was so aloof! She then told us he still writes prescriptions for villagers and I don't know why but we all began laughing. I think it was because picturing this old guy that stands in a rice field and acts like a scarecrow, drunk, overly cheerful, and writing prescriptions. It is just too funny of a combination. Later in the night he stopped over to ask if we could fit him in our suitcases so he could come to America.

While pushing through the month of April, I have realized that Remy and I only have 3 months left on our fellowship! It feels like we still have so much more to do! I didn't believe the other grantees when they said time will fly by, however they were right. I plan on making the most out of these next 3 months :)

Katelyn – Queen Elizabeth National Park was breathtaking! Bordered by layers of mountains and filled with incredible sights, our safari was nothing short of amazing. Being able to sit on top of the van and witness the majesty of elephants and the elegance of lions up close was more than I ever expected to see.
David – Queen Elizabeth National Park has definitely been the highlight of the trip so far. Being able to witness lions, elephants ...
Rhinos part 2
... into Kampala and saw a few of the main sights such as the Parliament buildings. The traffic was a nightmare at times. There were lots of people out on the streets. It was interesting to see the different types of buildings, advertisement signs, and shops. I was glad to return to the much more peaceful Entebbe and the Sunset guest house.
Entebbe is a great place to stay at the beginning or end of a stay ...

How much is too much?
Whilst my library has got the two books that follow this one, it doesn't have The Wild Hunt, so I thought I would have a look on Ebay to see if it is available. Which it is....if you are happy to pay $125 for it, and about $20 postage to get it from the UK. That is WAAYYY out of my price range for a book!
So my quandary now is whether I just start reading the series at book number 2...or skip this series altogether and move onto Children of Destiny.
How much is too much for you to pay for a book? What's the most that you have paid for a book?
11 comments:
Well, it's hard to know where to draw the line, but I think $125 + $20 is way past MY line!
The most I've paid was full HC price for the latest Harry Potter, about $30. I would have been able to get it for much less if I'd been able to wait a few weeks and get it used from ebay, but I needed to read it the minute it came out.
For romance books, I think the most I've paid might have been about $15 for an old Mary Balogh regency.Well, if it was an Anne Stuart book
Okay, enough with the throwing things!!
Anyways, I participated in the AAR auctions for Hurricane Katrina but I have blocked just how much I really did spend so obviously it was over what I would normally cough up for a book.
Since I'm cheap by nature this book would have to be printed on gold leaf pages for that price ;)
CindySI've never actually paid for a book online. I like to feel mine and thumb through pages before buying. Having said that, I'm planning to pre-order some books through Rendezvous (why are all the good stores always in Melbourne?) and have them post the order to me. Anything over $15 for paperbacks is getting iffy for me. Over $30 for a hardbound book is pretty much my limit.
Also, if you ever go to Coolangatta, there's an awesome secondhand store along the main road and they have stacks of romance novels. I bought some old favourites for $6 apiece, including one from a less well-known author whose first book I really never expected to find.

Tiercel Cap had een nieuw logo ontwerp nodig en lanceerde daarom een wedstrijd op 99designs.
Een winnaar werd gekozen uit144 ontwerpen ingezonden door29 freelance designers.
Tiercel Capital Managers Limited OR TCM
Tiercel Capital Managers Limited is a fund manager that is looking for a logo to reflect its values: low risk, conservative, deep value philosophy. The general feel of the logo should be conservative and solid.
A tiercel is a male falcon so using the image of a falcon stooping would a good start, but again all suggestion and creative input is welcome.
Private individuals who would invest in an equity market fund.
TCM (Tiercel Capital Managers Limited) is looking for a logo that's just a picture. TCM can optionally add our name underneath in some kind of font.
The font should be solid, cursive type fonts do not appeal.
Please present your designs with and without a name under or to the left/right of the logo. The style of the logo will be used throughout the corporate identity and the website so please bear this in mind.

Looking for something easy yet fun to do in math class? Math Poker is an activity that takes little to no preparation. Students love to play and it is a great use of class time! I generally use this as a review activity and get math problems from the chapter review in the textbook for the game. All the students need is a piece of paper divided into three columns. The first column is labeled "Bets". The middle column is labeled "Show me the Math". The third column is labeled "Total Earnings".
Students start the activity with $100. They must make a bet of at least $1, and can not place a bet for more money than what they have in their account. I ask students to place their bet before I place the problem up on the smartboard to view. Students must show their work in the middle column. If they get the answer correct, they double their bet and add it to their total earnings. If they miss the problem the student must subtract the bet from their previous total. If students run out of money, they come to the front of the class to earn $10. I might ask them to give me a math formula, or solve a problem to earn the money. At the end of the game, students with the most money can get a prize. The great part about this activity is that win or lose, every student gets a nice review of the material that will be on the test!

I just returned from the grand opening of the new PCGS office in Shanghai, China. What a spectacular welcome we received! The Shanghai Coin Expo was organized around our inaugural week of grading. This two day show was very well attended by dealers and collectors from all over China. The opening ceremony welcoming PCGS was attended by an enthusiastic standing room only crowd. Several exceptional Chinese coins were on display including the most valuable Chinese silver and gold coins, both graded by PCGS. The Chinese market for certified coins is young and exciting and will continue to be a major focus for PCGS. If you have never been to Shanghai you should pay a visit. It's a beautiful city with entire buildings devoted to coin markets. Hopefully we will see you there!

Clinique Superdefense Triple Action Moisturizer SPF 25
Clinique Superdefense Triple Action Moisturizer SPF 25 Reviews
Good product, inappropriate container
This would hands down be my favorite product if it were not for the container. It compromises the great antioxidants and other beneficial ingredients due to the jar packaging. Jars also are condusive to bacteria growth (yuck!) and it is messy and gets under my long nails. I do use and welcome it when I get small samples in a bonus pack because it gets used up before the container becomes an is...read moresue. I used the dry/comb formula. It was not greasy, absorbed quickly, felt amazingly rich, did not irritate my very sensitive skin, is fragrance free, did not cause acne or look oily on my t-zone, moisturized my dry skin well, even in the winter. I like the high spf, although I put on regular sunscreen (a lot) under all of my makeup-you need more than most people generally apply with their makeup or moisturizers. This would my definite first choice for an antioxidant rich moisturizer for daytime use if not for the jar issue--I would have given it an 11. — 7 years, 12 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
I'm a big fan of Clinique skin care products. They've been around for a while and so many women swear by their products, so I trust them. This is a great moisturizer for those who are enthusiastic about protecting their skin from the dangers of the sun. I have only recently begun to religiously apply sunscreen everyday, after realizing how unforgiving your skin might be after a few years of not us...read moreing sunscreen! This product works perfectly to help me do just that, while softening the texture of my skin and making it feel healthier overall. I am combination oily, so it takes about ten minutes to soak into my skin in the morning before I can apply makeup, but it is well worth the wait. It leaves my skin looking supple, slight dewy, and luminious. Not greasy at all. I love it. Thanks, Clinique! — 8 years, 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 8 of 8 people said helpful

I notice that too. Seems like a simple overlook but some people might really need to use a seconds based count down. I am still getting use to the PlayBook. Where is the best way to get there attention on new features/bug fixes?
11-27-2012 04:40 PM - edited 11-27-2012 04:46 PM
The best way to get some awareness for bugs/features etc. is to join the BlackBerry Beta Zone: https://beta.webapps.blackberry.com/login/?cont=po
It's free.
The backend is very frustrating to navigate around though compared to the support forums here. Also, the rich text editor is also castrated compared to this one too. You can't post screenshots or much of anything else actually (except text and links). If you can deal with that, you can get some feedback. I have had some success with that thus far. This is why I have posted this thread in this forum and cross-linked it back into the BetaZone. At least here, I can post screenshots.
They were on to something when they said, a picture is worth a thousand words.

But were the regulators out of line? V.21 No.2 | 1/12/2012 Courtesy of Cohen, Milstein, Sellers and Toll law firm NewsClass action payout for Native farmersAlibi reporter Carolyn Carlson drove out to Gallup at the end of December to speak with claimants for a $760 million settlement. The payout is the result of a class action lawsuit—Keepseagle v. Vilsack— brought by Native American farmers who were denied USDA loans by a prejudiced Department of Agriculture. The court battle was 13 years long. After it was over, lawyers went to different parts of the country to find people who qualified for part of the settlement. About 300 people from New Mexico filed claims. This isn't the first time the Agriculture Department's been in hot water for discrimination: • In October 2011, African-American farmers settled their case against the Agriculture Department for $1.2 billion. • In March 2011, women and Hispanic farmers settled their lawsuit for $1.3 billion.

Missouri 4-H
4-h > projects and opportunities > Science and technology > Geospatial > Overview
Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are hot technologies! Exploring Spaces, Going Places explores the world of geospatial science and goes where no 4-H project has ever gone before! Accessed entirely on one CD, the three youth levels and helper's guide are valuable resources to anyone interested in geospatial technology, geographic education, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) Youth and leaders in Missouri qualify for free GIS software to support youth programs and projects. Request the software through the Missouri Esri GIS K-12 License.
For more information, go to the GIS and Spatial Analysis Laboratory website.
So what exactly is GPS and GIS?
GPS (Global Positioning System) is a network of satellites that continuously transmit coded information, which makes it possible to precisely identify locations on earth by measuring distance from the satellites.
GIS (Geographic Information System) is essentially a high-tech map! Unlike paper maps, GIS can allow the user to change the information shown as well as ask questions about the relationships between that information. GIS combines layers of information about a place to give a better understanding of that place. What layers of information are combined depends on the purpose. GIS software is becoming more sophisticated with the rapidly developing technology.
If you would like to learn more about the world of GIS and GPS, please visit the 4-H GIS GPS Facebook page!

We built a trap to catch a Lucky the Leprechaun (if he dared visit our home on St. Patty's Eve.)
We crafted these three cuties into leprechaun rock stars.
And best of all, I found out that I was carrying a brand new little "leprechaun" to be formally introduced on Nov. 4th.
It was like my three (kid) leaf clover turned into four.
Are you going to find out the sex?
No, we love a good surprise. It's one of the reasons having a pre-birth nickname runs so strong in our family?
How have you been feeling?
Great. This pregnancy has been my easiest. I take a lot more naps, but other than that life has carried on as usual. I really can't blame my lack of blogging on morning sickness.
Are you hoping for a boy or a girl?
I'd love for Rex to have a brother. My intuition has been dead wrong on ALL THREE of my kids, so I am not even trying to predict this time around.
Four kids, are you crazy?
Just kidding. No one has asked that yet. Although I wouldn't be surprised if I start getting some of those looks and comments when my condition is more obvious and my children are running through the grocery store like banshees. BTW, What's up with getting rid of your kid's carts VONS????

Rosewater Salad - Indian Dessert.
Recipe by cookingpompom
Cut out from a magazine dated June 1999. Sounds wonderful and refreshing! Chill time is cooking time.
Top Review by Cadillacgirl
This was so refreshing! I used half the fruit but the same amount of rosewater and let it sit in the fridge for about 2 hours. When it came to the icing sugar, I just sprinkled it on and mixed it around without really measuring. Thanks for a new twist on fruit salad! Made for ZWT 8

Jimmy Cliff's Rebirth isn't just another late-period album from an aging pioneer. Cliff, one of reggae's originators and the star of 1972's landmark movie and soundtrack The Harder They Come, sounds utterly rejuvenated. It could be that he got a power boost from the younger generation: Tim Armstrong of punk stalwarts Rancid is the album's producer. The result is a rejuvenation of Cliff's style in a lean, lush and soulful collection. From the keening of modern troubles in "World Is Upset Down" to the dark punch of horns in "One More," anchoring it all is Cliff's enthusiasm for finding hope in every sad story.
How are we made? The protagonist in Sheila Heti's sort-of novel, How Should a Person Be?, is a Canadian playwright in her 20s named Sheila who struggles to rebuild herself after a failed marriage. What parts of her personality came from her husband and marriage, and what parts are hers? And in that wake, how does a person remodel his or herself? "How can you say, I'd rather be responsible like Misha than irresponsible like Margaux. Responsibility looks so good on Misha, and irresponsibility looks so good on Margaux," Heti writes in the prologue. The New York Times calls it "odd, original and a nearly unclassifiable book." Sounds about right.

To shock, frighten, or upset someone suddenly and to an extreme degree. Often used with "nearly," "almost," or some similar modifier. Adrian almost gave his parents heart failure when he told them he was dropping out of college. You about gave me heart failure, sneaking up on me like that!

KellyinVegas releases her Hottie3some college football picks video exclusively at DonBest.com.
KellyinVegas releases her Hottie3some of the Week video exclusively at DonBest.com with her top three underdog picks in college football. You can follow Kelly on Twitter at @kellyinvegas and check out the rest of her picks at HottieHandicappers.com.
Pick #1: Michigan State +2
Kelly's Analysis: After opening as a 1 ½-point fav, MSU has moved into the dog house at home (click for latest college football odds). Love Michigan State as a dog considering the last two weeks have been the only times, and they've covered both. The Spartans are finally getting it together! Neither team has put up big numbers this season, and I'm also really liking the under 44½ in this game.
Pick #2: TCU +7
Kelly's Analysis: West Virginia hasn't covered the spread as a favorite all year! It will be interesting to see how the Mountaineers come off this big two-game losing streak against Tech and K-State after their bye week. I'm wondering, does Geno Smith have anything left after his sideline temper tantrum? TCU scored 53 on a Top 15 Texas Tech D, so I wonder what they're capable of against a defense ranked 114th. WVU has been forced to start two freshmen in key positions. I've seen a few freshmen in action, and let me tell you, they can't perform under pressure ;) I think TCU has a good chance to pull off the upset in Morgantown.
Pick #3: Arizona +3½
Kelly's Analysis: After last week's "upset" against USC, the Arizona Wildcats are still hungry to claw their way up the rankings in the Pac-12. The UCLA Bruins, on the other hand, haven't looked good since they knocked off Nebraska in Week 1. In what is really a Pick'em game, my only thought is that home-field advantage is giving the Bruins 3½ points. I'll gladly take those points!
