After getting home from school one day last week JP asked, "Hey mom? Can I have early dinner?"
At 3:30.
He then proceeded to eat a peanut butter and jelly, banana, and yogurt. Then he wolfed down his dinner and several snacks. And juice. And water.
Growth spurt.
Growth spurts with JP are terrifying. For one, it's expensive. When that kid grow he alone can devour a week's worth of groceries in just a few days. But also? It fucks with his meds. In big, bad, ugly ways.
And so I find myself wanting to crawl in bed and stay there, just until it's over, because goddamn, I hate this part.
He's tweaked. And moderately depressed. And weird. Hurting himself, talking in baby voices, being disruptive…the list goes on and on and on.
I hate this part. So, so, so much. I live in fear of these moments, constantly looking over my shoulder.
"Try to be optimistic!"
Fuck optimism. It won't change my son's reality.
"Maybe this time will be just the trick!"
No, no it won't. Because he's nine and the chemicals in his medication can't keep up with the chemicals in his brain when he grows. Maybe we'll hit on just the right cocktail in 12 years. But not now.
"If it helps him, you have to increase his meds, right?"
Yup. We do. And every damn time we do I feel guilty because I wonder what damage they're doing to his body. Maybe not now, but when he's 50…what is all of this stuff doing to him? I hate it. And I hate that there's no choice.
"You just need time to yourself."
You're right. I do. But I have to come back. And sometimes? Sometimes I just want to run far, far away. A lot of times. Like now. I don't know that I could get far enough away from home to feel like it's enough. And when I think things like that, I feel guilty because my kids need a mother who is present and not wishing she was elsewhere.
Like now. I wish I was anywhere but here.

Being a parent is an important and very demanding job. Support used to come from our families, but today many of us live far away from relatives and have to cope on our own.
Bringing up our young children can be very difficult. Sharing anxieties and problems can be a great help—just knowing that someone else has the same difficulties can ease the stress.
Life can be very lonely when you are at home with a baby or toddler; everyone needs friends—even a parent!!
We hope to provide somewhere you can make friends and relax.
Activities include
• Welcome and registration
• Refreshments
• Singing together
• Using our hands or Story time
• Time to tidy up!
What is learned early in life lays the foundation for adulthood. Together as team leaders, parents and carers, we are here to love, encourage and nurture in our children the wisdom of Christian
family values and foster in them a deep love of God and His Son Jesus Christ.
Why not drop in to see us in the Main Hall on a Wednesday morning? You are assured of a very warm welcome in a non-threatening environment.
The group meets every Wednesday 10am—12:00noon during school terms and is only suitable for preschool children. It is organised by the Coleraine Parish Mothers' Union.

I absolutely adore the evolution of Finn Mullany from denial to adoring. Eva Brock returns from "Love in Independence". I liked her character then, but once away from her mother, she blooms. A visit from a few previous characters, some mischievous boys and a few threats later; a wonderful story and read emerge for a brief escape from the stress of the day.
an excellent continuation of the series...just enough mystery and romance to keep you coming back for more...loved the Dalton triplets also!

Give him a break.
Malacañang appealed yesterday to critics not to mock Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas who figured in a motorcycle mishap while on a relief mission in Eastern Samar.
Deputy Presidential Spokeswoman Abigail Valte defended Roxas, who is head of the National Government Frontline Team deployed in typhoon-hit Samar, saying it was a good thing the Cabinet secretary was not injured at all.
Valte, speaking to reporters in the Palace, suggested that it was better to focus on the government's massive relief efforts in storm-hit places instead of on Roxas' motorbike accident.
"Sana huwag na po nating bigyan ng kulay. Kawawa na nga ho 'yung tao nandun na at sumemplang na nga ho at pasalamat po tayo — pasalamat po kami, at least, hindi ho nasaktan si Secretary Mar [Please let us not give any color to it. It was unfortunate that he fell. We are thankful that he was not hurt]," Valte said.
"Nakikiusap naman po tayo na mag-focus na lang po tayo doon sa trabahong kailangan hong gawin 'nung ating mga ground team at 'yung mga kasamahan po natin dito sa Manila [We hope that we will focus on the work that needs to be done by the ground team and our colleagues in Manila]," she added.
A photograph of Roxas falling on his bike in Samar recently went viral on social media. Some netizens have reportedly ridiculed Roxas for alleged careless driving during a storm while others criticized the DILG chief for not wearing any helmet.
Valte explained that Roxas and other team members were forced to ride a motorcycle to reach Dolores town where typhoon Ruby made its first landfall, last Sunday. She said the town was inaccessible due to fallen trees and other debris on the road.
"The trip from Borongan to Dolores is 65 kilometers. Matagal ho nilang nakuha 'yung marating dahil nga marami nga hong kinilear (clear). And sometimes the mode of transportation is the only way to be able to move forward [The trip from Borongan to Dolores is 65 kilometers. It took them a long time to reach the place because debris had to be cleared. And sometimes (the choice of) the mode of transportation is the only way to be able to move forward]," Valte said.

Why not try boudin noir aux châtaignes (black pudding with chestnuts) and fondu creusois (camembert fondue with potatoes)? These two specialties are easily found here.
Genuine travel goes beyond just seeing the sights. It's also about immersing yourself in the words, stories and ideas of a country. Your experience will be more rewarding if you make the effort to learn just a few useful phrases and sayings in French. Je suis de… is French for I am from.. Happy birthday is another useful one to know, so put some work into learning Joyeux anniversaire.
If you're visiting on the Bastille Day, you can embrace the festivities for Bastille Day, a day of celebration across the country.

Was Darwin Wrong?
|Page: < 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 >
Entries: 156
|12.07.2010 04:43, Adam Crowl from Australia :
Hi Gert
Just read your review of the book about the Design argument in antiquity and there's a good example of arguments for and against in Cicero's "On the Nature of the Gods", as well as well as multiple arguments for design in the Pseudo-Clementine literature. They're surprisingly familiar sounding and as unsatisfying as their modern day equivalents.
|17.06.2010 15:26, morris from Nairobi :
I perused through you page, which I kind of stumbled upon. I like your arguments especially in the review of the language of god, whch led me to your site.
Now i have a request, for I wouldlike to request you to review my essay.
I will appreciate your reply.
|27.05.2010 00:06, Matthew Turner :
Dear Gert,
Thanks for your preliminary comments. I'll try and fix these things up for the next revision (especially by adding a Summary)!
I hope you get enough spare time soon to be able to read through this book now that you have it - I very much look forward to your comments, be they favourable OR unfavourable!
Your open-mindedness and willingness to correspond with me so far has been ENORMOUSLY appreciated!
(Incidentally you may prefer the Lulu.com pdf as it is formatted exactly like the book & has page numbers in the Contents and proper footnotes - the Smashwords versions are unfortunately quite a bit messier.)
|26.05.2010 16:54, gert korthof :
Matthew, I have found it on Smashwords site.
It works fine (with a medium font).
Please note the Contents does not give page numbers. So the reader does not know to jump to which page.
I did not see a Summary & Conclusion section.
It would be nice to give that to the reader with a busy schedule having at least 5 unread books on his desk and another 5 on his amazon wish list.
Please note, it is a good idea you have added your bio.
|26.05.2010 08:51, Matthew Turner from Japan :
Dear Gert,
After patiently struggling with this theory for so long, it is perhaps curious that I have become so impatient. But I have decided to publicly release my book for free. I need someone - anyone - to read it! It can be downloaded as an ebook in formats suitable for all portable reading devices at:
http://www.smashwords.com/prof ile/view/matthewturner
For better formatting, please use the free pdf download at Lulu.com:
http://stores.lulu.com/matthew turner
I'm not sure if these website addresses work, they seem to change every time I check, but if they don't, go to smashwords.com or Lulu.com and search under my name or the title of the book.
I've added the subtitle "a new theory of evolution" to the title, and have also added a preface that explains who I am and why I am publishing in this way. I had wanted to keep the book fairly anonymous, but it seems people are not interested unless you show them who you are.
I would still like to send you a physical copy of the book if there is any chance that you might read it (but I need your address).
Thank you once again for taking the time to respond to me!
Kind regards,
|23.05.2010 11:17, gert korthof :
Dear Matthew,
I mean by 'reciprocal' altruism, an equal or similar time investment.
Is your solution a non-Darwinian solution? Is it different from anything published sofar by biologists?
|21.05.2010 01:23, Matthew Turner from Japan :
Dear Gert Korthof,
Firstly, thank you so much for replying. I've been ignored so many times that my faith in the objectivity of science is seriously faltering!
I should have guessed that many other people besides me must ask you for favours! I can think of only five ways to reply to your reciprocal altruism challenge:
(1) The strength of my book is the theory, and so I have deliberately made it as easy to read as possible. I have avoided academic language; there are almost no references; and biological examples are limited to a very few. The book is short, with the theoretical section completed in just 130 pages. The cost to you of reading it is thus quite small.
(2) I am sure you will find this a stimulating, exciting book to read, even if you ultimately deem it to be flawed in some way. It has entertainment value!
(3) Darwin's theory has caused me considerable intellectual pain - the pain of suspecting that something was not quite right but not being able to pin it down. The pain of coming up with a "solution" only to find it did not quite work. The confusion and discomfort of sensing contradictions or inconsistencies but not knowing where they lay. I now finally have intellectual peace, I finally feel that I understand in basic, fundamental terms what evolution is all about. Perhaps you will feel such peace after reading this book!
(4) I can avoid your challenge altogether by claiming that the conventional conception of "altruism" is actually flawed. But I have no room to explain that here (it's in the book).
(5) Please tell me if there is anything else I can offer! A quote from you and a reference to your website on the back cover of the book (there is still time to change the book design)? Fresh high-grade Japanese green tea or some other hard-to-get Japanese product as a gift of thanks?
If you don't mind, I would like to send you a copy of the book anyway, just in case you might one day feel inclined to look through it!
Kind regards,
|20.05.2010 08:25, gert korthof :
Dear Matthew Turner,
fast response (without checking anything):
I am moved by your story. I recognize a lot in it.
You address the right person with the right subject.
However, I am overloaded with stuff to read, and everybody asks favours from me, such as reading their new manuscript: it is always a non-reciprocal altruism affair. How could we transform this in reciprocal altruism? I scratch your back, you scratch mine :-)
|14.04.2010 09:23, gert korthof :
Dank je wel Tjitske (mooie naam trouwens!),
de link heb ik toegevoegd.
Vraagje: lukte het niet om in het blog een comment toe te voegen? Geeft verder niet, het is zo ook gelukt.
|14.04.2010 07:44, Tjitske :
Beste Gert Korthof,
Ik zie dat u verwijst naar mijn artikel over Wallace, leuk! De link leidt alleen niet naar het artikel, daarom hier de juiste verwijzing: http://beagle.vpro.nl/#/blog/i tem/3106/
Hartelijke groet,
Tjitske Mussche
|25.03.2010 07:41, gert korthof :
Thanks Tim.
I am going to find the issue of Nature online.
|23.03.2010 17:49, Tim Standish from Loma Linda, CA, USA :
I see an error in what I just sent. The Nature volume number is 294, not 291.
|23.03.2010 17:46, Tim Standish from Loma Linda, CA, USA :
A minor error exists at:
http://home.planet.nl/~gkortho f/kortho46a.htm
In a reference listed under "Notes" related to Fred Hoyle's remark about biological evolution and a 747 in a junk yard.
The correct complete reference is:
1981. Hoyle on evolution. Nature 291:105.
Note that the page is 105, not 10 and that no author is listed.
Thanks for such a useful summary of literature related to this remark of Hoyle's.
|16.03.2010 17:15, Manhar Tilak from Crossville TN USA :
Manohar Tilak the 1970 Originator of The Evoluon Theory of Cosmic Evolution and the 1998 book Infnities to Eternities, who was a member of Professor Katsoyanis's Insulin Synthess, write that he had substantively orignated the word Evoluon.
There are exactly 8 Evoluons based on cosmic Information systems in the chart after pg. 58 of his 1998 book.
am drawn to your valuable work about Evolution and am grateful!
Manohar Tilak
|17.02.2010 07:35, gert korthof :
Dear John,
Thank you for your message.
I started reading the review of your book in American Scientist yesterday and will finish it today and reread it again.
Yes, indeed I like Sedley's book very much.
And I am now in the middle of reading Fodor and writing a review. (I blogged in Dutch about the book already once).
I will add your book to the Introduction page of my site.
Thanks for writing me,
have a nice day,
Gert Korthof
|16.02.2010 14:24, John Reiss from Arcata, CA, USA :
I ran across your very interesting site looking for reviews of Fodor and Piatelli-Palmerini's new book - "What Darwin Got Wrong." I have not yet seen their book, but in the meantime, would like to call your attention to my own, which I think might interest you. It is called "Not by Design; Retiring Darwin's Watchmaker" and was published by Univ of Calif Press last year. There is a very nice review (to me) that just came out in American Scientist by John Dupré, which you can find at: http://www.americanscientist.o
Since you seemed to like Sedley's perspective offered in his "Creationism and its Critics in Antiquity" I think you will find that my book goes further in relating Darwin to the ancient debate between the atomists and the teleologists. In my view, as we move toward an extended evolutionary synthesis, what is most needed is to purge Darwinism not of the mechanism of natural selection, but of the teleological views that Darwin inherited from Paley.
Best wishes,
John Reiss
|01.02.2010 09:42, gert korthof :
Beste Frietson Galis,
hartelijk dank voor Uw reactie.
Uiteraard heb ik de link naar Uw nieuwe website op mijn site geupdated (Ned. evolutie literatuur).
Gert Korthof
|31.01.2010 18:49, Frietson Galis :
Beste meneer Korthof,
Heel goed wat u doet met uw site.
Ik vond tot mijn verrassing een link naar mijn homepage. Aangezien helaas bij de reorganisatie van biologie in Leiden de evolutiebiologie is getroffen en met het opheffen van de theoretische evolutiebiologie ook mijn functie is opgeheven, is mijn website verdwenen. Ik heb uiteraard nu een externe website, echter. de universiteit weigert ons permanente redirects. Ik zou het daarom erg op prijs stellen als u de link zou willen vervangen naar mijn nieuwe website:
Veel succes met uw website
Hartelijke groeten,
Frietson Galis
|12.01.2010 19:59, Dalius Balciunas from Vilnius, Lithuania :
Hello Gert,
I have some comments regarding Kauffman's ideas. Let's begin with one of your sentences. You write (http://home.planet.nl/~gkortho f/kortho32.htm; 2.Neo-Darwinism is incomplete):
"Kauffman is not anti-Darwinist in the sense that he rejects the existence of natural selection".
I find it interesting statement. And I think it is not correct. To support Darwin you have to reject natural selection theory. Biologists simply are unable to accept such a challenge. My motto - natural selection theory is wrong, Darwin was right.
Indeed Darwin was the first who presented scientific theory of life evolution. Darwin understood the essence of the matter. Modifications and "natural selection" are driving force of evolution. Natural selection theory, as Darwin presented it, was revolutionary idea. However, this theory is a product of 19th century. Now, I think, it is no more valid. Autocatalysis (self-replication) itself explains why biological evolution has taken place. Autocatalytic competition is "natural selection".
Thus, Kauffman is right concentrating on autocatalytic processes. Unfortunately, he did not go one step further and did not reject natural selection hypothesis.
Thank you for very interesting site.
Kind regards,
|10.12.2009 05:38, Derek Roche from Australia :
This is to advise the launch of a new website (http://thewayitis.info) that proposes a formal synthesis of all knowledge and all ways of knowing. The origin and evolution of life is shown to be a logical consequence of such a synthesis. Your critical assessment is cordially invited.

Page 45 - Every subject has a right to be secure from all unreasonable searches, and seizures, of his person, his houses, his papers, and all his possessions. All warrants, therefore, are contrary to this right, if the cause or foundation of them be not previously supported by oath or affirmation...
Page 23 - Now one of the most essential branches of English liberty is the freedom of one's house. A man's house is his castle ; and whilst he is quiet, he is as well guarded as a prince in his castle. This writ, if it should be declared legal, would totally annihilate this privilege.
Page 23 - Your honors will find in the old books concerning the office of a justice of the peace precedents of general warrants to search suspected houses. But in more modern books, you will find only special warrants to search such and such houses, specially named, in which the complainant has before sworn that he suspects his goods are concealed; and will find it adjudged that special warrants only are legal.
Page 23 - Not more than one instance can be found of it in all our law-books; and that was in the zenith of arbitrary power, namely, in the reign of Charles II, when star-chamber powers were pushed to extremity by some ignorant clerk of the exchequer.
Page 50 - Therefore, all warrants to search suspected places, or arrest a person for examination or trial, in prosecutions for criminal matters, are contrary to this right, if the cause or foundation of them be not previously supported by oath or affirmation...
Page 45 - All warrants, therefore, are contrary to this right, if the cause or foundation of them be not previously supported by oath or affirmation, and if the order in the warrant to a civil officer, to make search in suspected places, or to arrest one or more suspected persons, or to seize their property, be not accompanied with a special designation of the persons or objects of search, arrest, or seizure : and no warrant ought to be issued hut in cases, and with the formalities prescribed by the laws.

The Cherokee County Tennis Association, Inc. (CCTA) was formed in October 2004 to promote the development of tennis as a means of healthful recreation and physical/mental well being for all residents of Cherokee County, Georgia. The corporation is a non-profit organization incorporated pursuant to the IRS code in Section 501(C)(3) and will work in conjunction with the USTA and other associations to accomplish these goals.
The CCTA serves both children and adults of north Georgia, regardless of race, gender, age, physical ability, ethnicity, language, sexual orientation or socio-economic status.
The CCTA is currently under the direction of a cross-section of residents of the community who serve as Officers, members of the Board of Directors, and advisors of varying ages, race, and background.
The CCTA was granted permission by USTA Georgia to administer USA Team Tennis for Youth and USA League Tennis in April 2005. The CTA was willing to undertake the development of the league play throughout Cherokee County, hoping to expand USTA into the many subdivisions and areas not being served by ALTA or USTA. As with any new organization, change is difficult. Other community tennis associations undertaking this venture have experienced challenges in their first year. CCTA will work tirelessly to grow league play and bring the best tennis programs possible to the citizens of Cherokee County. The volunteers of CTA, with the total support of the USTA, USTA Georgia and USTA Southern Section, as well as the tennis community in Cherokee County, we are confident that we will be able to accomplish our goals.
The CCTA has been awarded grants to develop programs in Cherokee County. All of these monies will be used to promote tennis programs in Cherokee County. Some of the programs are:
In 1980 The USTA unanimously adopted a national league program at its annual meeting. The program initially consisted of league play for 5.5, 4.5 and 3.5 levels. Michelob Light was the title sponsor and Wilson was the official ball. There were 13,000 participants and the first National Championship was held in Chicago. By 1983 the league had grown to 50,000 participants from all 17 sections. Volvo North America Corporation became the title sponsor in 1984, the 4.0 level was added to the National Championships and the 5.5 level was replaced by the 5.0 level to keep the focus on recreational tennis. The 3.0 level of play was added to the national championships in 1986 and the first NTRP Workshop was held to assist with verification procedures. In 1987 the 2.5 level of play was added to the national championships and Penn Racquet Sports began its continuing association with league tennis as the official ball of the league program. The CompuRank computer program was added in 1989 to assign ratings based on match scores. Program participation grew to almost 125,000 by the end of the decade.
In 1990, the USTA ended its six-year relationship with Volvo North America Corporation and began to sponsor as well as administer the program, now called USTA League Tennis. A national USTA Senior League Program began in 1991, consisting of the 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 and 4.5 levels. Heineken and the Citizen Watch Company became sponsors in 1996. In 1997 Infiniti began its first year as presenting sponsor and official car of the USTA League Tennis Program. There were major changes at the end of this decade. In 1999 the USTA League Tennis program changed its name to USA League Tennis; the set tie-break in lieu of the third set was authorized and instituted at USA League Tennis National Championships; USA League Tennis was expanded to include Mixed Doubles as a national program - local, sectional, and regional championships were held for teams at straight or combined NTRP levels. At the conclusion of the 90's, the Adult Division had more than doubled to 252,592 players, there were 48,711 players in the Senior Division and another 59,028 players in Mixed Doubles - bringing the total number of players in the USA League Tennis program to 360,331.
In 2000, approval was granted to develop Dynamic NTRP – a Windows based rating system that would include the whole country in one program; TennisLink was utilized by ten sections to register players, report scores and provide standings on the world wide web; Lincoln completed its first of a five-year agreement as the presenting sponsor and official car of USA League Tennis. The 16th and last NTRP Training Workshop was held in New York in 2001 with Verifiers and Sectional League Coordinators discussing the coming transition to dynamic ratings. The stand-alone Windows based NTRP ME was launched in November of 2001. In 2002 four sections (USA Tennis New England, USTA Mid-Atlantic, USTA Northern and USTA Texas) piloted the dynamic NTRP. All sections began using the dynamic NTRP in the 2003 league season with the major change being players self-rating to enter the programs and a dynamic NTRP rating is produced for each match played. 2002 marked Penn's 15th year as the official ball of USA league Tennis. In 2002 with the inclusion of other league programs sponsored by the sections, USA League Tennis reached half a million participants.
Dawn was born in Anchorage, AK and is heir to an Eskimo Ice Floation company for the elderly. After running away from her prosperous future, she fled to Georgia hoping it would bring her closer to warmth and Sweetwater 420. She has spent the last few years playing soccer, jamming forks into light sockets, and building "American Gladiators" style obstacle courses in her back yard.
If you don't know Elaine, then you are most likely new to tennis in Cherokee County. Please contact her for all adult leagues questions, ratings questions, and especially if they want to start a new USTA team. Most mornings, she can be found at the courts.
Katherine is best known for touring the world writing out her theorem on the perfect tennis serve for heads of state and royalty. Tired of the fast paced world of You Tube videos designed to help your tennis game, she recently chose to join Georgia Department of Transportation where she works as a drawbridge tender for the one drawbridge in the Atlanta area.


text: After 25 years, I'm once again heading to Cologne (Köln, Germany) for a weekend of first-hand experience with the latest offerings on the market. If anyone wants to meet on the floor or would be partial to an evening out in the city on Saturday (September 24th), I'll be glad to organise something (or at least coordinate the meet-up - place and time, mainly). Following my personal preferences, I'm actually inclined to join a rather exclusive evening of Whisky tasting (there's an event on at Whisky-Depot Köln), but of course, since it's not my main reason for travelling there, I'm happy to settle for something else and would certainly prefer interesting conversations to decidedly single-minded (pun intended) pleasures I'm also partial to some nice Jazz (or general well-played live music), so heading to Papa Joe's would be an option as well - but of course, live music isn't conducive to talking ... I speak English and German (my mother tongue) and can express myself reasonably well in French (but would probably have to suffer a bit due to my limited vocabulary ...). If someone is interested in meeting, please post here. M.

Had a great time yesterday laughing out loud with chenwei, at everything! haha
I am also not quite sure why is everything so funny! =P
Perhaps I am just born to be easily entertained and amused. And I am lucky to have found another equally easily amused friend =P HAHAHA. Thank god! *phew*
I absolutely have to meet chenwei often. AND sometimes even everyday. We miss each other often. And we need to spend time together!
We are just one step away from becoming lesbians! gosh! We are practically a couple.
But I know we will never be.
Why? you must be wondering.
Because! In the gym, ladies' changing room. We will rather show our breasts to the whole world than to each other. HAHAHAHA… Yes, California fitness made us change at the locker room. It is prohibited to change in the toilets.
And as much as I like oogling at pretty ladies. which made me think that sometimes I could be a lesbian. But, I was so wrong. I am absolutely disgusted with some obnoxious ladies strutting around naked or with teeny g-strings or transculent undies. *vomits*
Seriously. Can't you put on some clothes before you apply makeup? or blow your hair?
Made a mistake =( again.
Haiz. I hate to make mistakes. Especially when it concerns work! Grrr…
I think I know the source of my headaches already.
Its because my life is in a mess now. Priorities are not neat and nicely organised.
From here, all will be in crypto ok? So you can choose to read or not to read.
I know I should and need to delegate:
1 unit for FR
1 unit for J/K
5 units for GM
4 units for VM
0.5 units for MU
0.5 for YG
0.5 for INV
Each unit is 4 hours. And all commitments are weekly.
So effectively, I need 50hours.
But we only have 7days a week!
Lets say, I have 4hours each weekday (which is already very tiring!), and 12 hours each weekend. (which means no play for poor me!!=( )
I have 4*5+12*2=44hours. OMG. not enough time!!
Hmm.. so for the moment I will remove J/K. which will give me 46 hours. Ok, I still lack 2hours. this can be done easily.
So it will be
Monday: 0.5 VM unit & 0.5 GM unit & 0.1 INV unit
Tuesday: 1 unit for FR & 0.1 INV unit
Wednesday: 0.5 VM unit & 0.5 GM unit & 0.1 INV unit
Thursday: 1 GM unit & 0.1 INV unit
Friday: 1 VM unit
Saturday: 2 VM units & 0.5 MU unit + 0.5 YG unit
Sunday: 2+1 GM units & 0.1 INV unit
BUT no play? how about my grooming/self pampering sessions? How can I be such a mess?
What even happened to promising myself not to overstretch?
On the other hand. I have been really irresponsible for not devoting my hours into VM and MU. very very bad. The rest are still okie dokie relatively.
BUT BUT. I have been working long long hours, and even the weekends you know? So I am not that that bad right?
VM has the potential. So I must make the decision to allow it to grow or not.
4units of time…
YES. yes.
I think I want to do this.
*deep breath*
I am finally ready.
Bring it on!

On the final day of our advent readings, which we do each year on the 24th of December, we read the scripture passage that deals with Jesus becoming the sacrifice for our sins. This year we chose to read from John 3. Then the children do their craft that corresponds with the reading. (they made crosses, colored them, and cut them out) Then we place the crosses in the middle of the advent banner.
While they are working on their crosses, I quietly tiptoed out of the kitchen to get the gifts that we had for them. I placed the gifts in various places in the living room. We got each of the children 3 gifts. (a little bit of symbolism, I suppose) Then, Rich and I just waited until someone noticed that there were gifts sitting around. This year, they finished their crosses, we pinned them on the banner ... then all 3 of the boys went running up the stairs to go play. Not a single one of them looked down into the living room. So, Rich and I piddled around on the computer, and watched a little television, while we waited for them to come and see.
It was actually Rosalie that noticed first ... her jaw dropped and she squealed with delight. I told her to go and tell the boys. So, she ran up the stairs yelling, "boys, presents" at least a dozen times. However, once she actually found the boys, she forgot all about the presents and joined in on whatever they were playing. The next person to come down ...
was Aaron. He quickly saw the gifts that were scattered across the living room. His jaw also dropped and he ran upstairs to get the others to come down. He, however, did not get distracted, nor did he waste anytime getting back downstairs again.
Martin was very excited to get his first "gun". He got an air rifle(bb gun), and very quickly got dressed to go outside and practice!
Aaron's most favorite gift was an ipod. When Rich got his iphone - he no longer needed his ipod. So, the ipod has just been sitting around the house for almost a year now - not being used. Aaron loves music ... and I knew that it would be the perfect thing for him. (and even better that we didn't have to buy one!) He loves it! Jonathan was very excited to be brought into the world of legos. He got a set of legos!! Rosalie got a little princess doll, a magnadoodle, and play cd player, that she can wear like a purse.

How does it happen? The love that fades and the love that grows?
Into nothing. Out of nothing.
Destruction & creation, following blueprints, but there are no plans to follow.
Only a dimly lit road that I walk.
So to know love, one foot goes in front of the other.
A quiet meditation.
The path is right until it isn't.

According to the State Patrol, a driver who lost a load of furniture from the back of his truck Wednesday is responsible for two crashes and many hours of traffic delays along Highway 29.
Police have not yet found the truck and the driver responsible for the incident.
The State Patrol was made aware of the situation when several motorists as well as the Maratho County Sheriff's Department called it in around 6:45 PM Wednesday. There were shards of wood and broken glass spread across the westbound lanes of Highway 29 near the Business Highway 51 exit.
A tractor-trailer as well as a passenger van both ran over mattresses left in the road and collided with one another. A mattress became stuck in the tractor-trailer's drive shaft and it had to be towed from the scene.
A minivan following behind the van and tractor had to brake sharply to avoid crashing into them, which then led to a truck behind the minivan crashing into it.
Nobody was injured in the four car pileup.

I spent the afternoon looking at submissions guidelines for genre magazines that publish novellas. Once "Atlantis Cranks Need Not Apply" gets down to 25K, there are places it can go. I have notions now about where to send it first. I've spent the evening marking the ms for cuts, and I think I've found all the cuts I need without touching anything I really want to keep. Jane's parents, who never appear on stage, have no lines, and are mentioned in exactly four sentences, are going. A bunch of dialogue tags are going. I've discovered two new tics I didn't know I had. While the tics might arguably add flavor in a couple of places, nobody needs nearly that many moments in which the characters eye things suspiciously, and nobody needs there to be dozens of occurrences of the words "pretty much."
If I'm deluded in my hope that the revisions for this piece will be minor, do please let me know. I'd far rather hear about the gaping plot hole, the massive structural flaw, the implausible character, etc., from you than from the editors of any of the magazines I targeted today.
Email, lj comments, phone, whatever. And thanks to everyone who offered.

Fair value: a fair cop?
Does fair value really deserve the blame for the stock market crash?
Does fair value really deserve the blame for the stock market crash?
September could be an awkward month for US banks. It's reporting season, and
the expectation is that the sub-prime loan losses that have been hitting the
stock markets for the last two months are now, in the latest round of quarterly
figures, set to hit the books.
And as the banks mark down the value of the complicated instruments forged
out of the loans they are based on, there are questions being asked, not just
about the lending decisions, but also the way they are accounted for.
Academics contend that fair value accounting, has created a self-inflating
bubble of over-valuation in markets, and fails to restrict directors in
overstating the true position of their companies.
'Fair value has taken the conservatism out of accounting and made numbers
less reliable. Instead of curbing business excess fair value accounting has fed
the bubble,' said Stella Fearnley, who will shortly take up a chair as professor
of accounting at Bournemouth University.
Previously, such derivatives would have been valued at historical cost or
market value, whichever was lower. Fearnley argues that this more conservative
accounting might have helped prevent the US woes.
'As far as I can see the fair value model is down the toilet. We need to step
back from this and reintroduce conservatism into accounts,' Fearnley added. If
instruments owned by banks carry an inflated 'fair' value, that will cause the
banks' shares to be marked up, creating a dangerous cycle, she argues.
Not all agree with Fearnley's analysis. One standards-setter went so far as
to describe the view as 'idiotic' and 'blaming the messenger'.
Senior figures concede, however, that fair value does bring a measure of
volatility to accounting. BP was a good example earlier this year, when it wiped
out $400m (£198m) of oil derivatives contracts one quarter, which it had booked
only three months earlier.
Defenders also argue that without fair value, the derivatives at issue in the
US would not even have been in the accounts to begin with.
And equally, as far as the investment funds that took on some of these
contracts are concerned, they have always used fair value and always will, since
they have to value the fund at market prices to allow investors to get in and
Big Four experts say that fair value may not be perfect, but it is far better
than the alternatives, for now at least. The IASB maintains that its association
with fair value is overplayed. Whether that's true or not, the future of the
accounting method looks like being one of its biggest challenges.
