"What is, therefore, our task today? Shall I answer: 'Faith, hope, and love?' That sounds beautiful. But I would say- courage. No, even that is not challenging enough to be the whole truth. Our task today is recklessness. For what we Christians lack is not psychology or literature… we lack a holy rage- the recklessness which comes from the knowledge of God and humanity… a holy anger about the things that are wrong in the world…. To rage at the lie that calls the threat of death and the strategy of destruction peace. To rage against complacency. To restlessly seek that recklessness that will challenge and seek to change human history until it conforms to the norms of the kingdom of God. And remember the signs of the Christian Church have been the Lion, the Lamb, the Dove and the Fish… but never the chameleon."
Kaj Munk, a Danish priest, spoke these words before he was killed by the Gestapo in 1944.
I've gotten really good at creating boundaries in my life that shield me away from doing or being anything that that could be called "reckless." Because recklessness often leads to discomfort. If it doesn't feel right, I'm great at finding away to avoid it. I'm not afraid of hard work and I'm confident enough in who I am to stand for things I believe in but, I rarely put myself in an intentional place of discomfort. I'd rather fade into the background like a chameleon.
The last time I journeyed through the stations of the cross, I was struck with the thought that if Jesus was doing ministry today he may have heard things like, "Why risk it?" or "Learn to say no" or even "You don't need to be a martyr." Things I often hear quoted to those in ministry. A mentor might say to him, "You need to create healthy boundaries or you will burn out." His ministry all seemed a bit reckless.
This is not fun to admit, but when it comes to the crucifixion I've gotten to a point where I can handle the cross, the actual death part doesn't seem to phase me as much anymore. It is the beatings and the mocking that are too much for me to handle. I hate it. In my mind, death I can do, but suffering is more than should be asked of me. It is more than should be asked of Jesus. Boundaries, Jesus, boundaries.
Can healthy boundaries and picking up my cross daily exist together? Can I sacrifice too much for the sake of those around me? Could Jesus have died without experiencing the suffering and humiliation of the thorns, the whipping and the names? What does that type of example mean for me today? I don't fully know, but I can promise you I've never tested the limits of who God has called me to be.
It is doubtful that I will ever be in a place of such persecution or torment. it is doubtful that I will ever be killed for my beliefs. It is doubtful that I will enduring extreme suffering for what I believe. But, If I am ever called… May I have the courage to wear the thorns. May I have the courage to step in front of the whip. May I have the courage to take the mocking and the beating. May I do it all as a reckless Lion or a Lamb, but never a chameleon.

Let me give you some fast yet nutritious recipe that you can actually try at home. This is very easy to do that you can find the time to mix it despite of your busy schedule. It will only take for as long as 15 minutes to prepare and just another ten minutes to cook. What we are to do are burgers; turkey burgers with beetroot relish which is a good thing because after preparing it, you can just keep it in the fridge and cook it anytime you feel like having yourself a burger for snack (for those heavy eaters) or for lunch or for dinner either which you find appropriate. This is also good for working mothers or simply mothers at home who want to prepare a healthy but fast meals for their kids.
For a dish to be healthy, it should have at most 350 Kcal (less would be better), 20 grams or less total fat and 5 grams or less saturated fat per serving. This recipe could give you 183 Kcal, 30 grams protein, 7 grams carbohydrates, 4 grams fat, 1 gram saturates, 2 grams fiber and 6 grams sugar and 0.5 gram of salt per serving on the average. Serving sizes may differ on how big you wish your patties could be.
What you'll need:
For the patties
- 500g pack turkey mince
- ½ tsp dried thyme or 2 tsp fresh
- 1 lemon
For the relish
- 250g cooked peeled beetroot (not in vinegar), finely diced
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 2 tsp wholegrain mustard
- Little Gem lettuce, to serve
- Whole meal pitta bread, or any whole wheat bread, to serve
How to prepare:
1. Tip turkey into a bowl with the thyme. Finely grate in the zest from the lemon and add a little seasoning. Use your hands to mix the ingredients well. Shape the seasoned ground meat into 4 patties or more depending on your desired size. Chill until ready to cook. Can be frozen for up to 1 month.
2. Mix the beetroot with the juice from ½ the lemon, onion, parsley, oil and mustard. Grill, griddle or barbecue the burgers for about 6 minutes each side and serve with the beetroot relish, lettuce and pitta breads.
The meat can last for a month as long as it is properly frozen and stored in your freezer and you make take it and cook it anytime you may need it. Grilling was the method suggested to cook the burgers as it is healthier and more delicious as compared to frying it which can lead decreasing the nutritional value of the patties due to high fat used to fry burgers. Roasting also contributes a distinct and desirable affect on burgers.
The relish is an add-on to the burger which increases the nutritional value of the whole recipe. Beetroot contains a lot of antioxidants that are good for the body. Other vegetables included in the relish are known to be a great source of vitamins and minerals. The bread could be basically any kind but whole meal pitta bread are suggested if you want to reduce weight and is highly nutritious especially when it is organic.

A retrospective study analyzed the medical records at Brigham and Women's Hospital and found that African American men had a statistically significant decreased survival rate after receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). In this study, the researchers evaluated men who had used ADT to shrink the size of their prostate in order to have brachytherapy (seeds).
Their findings indicated that African-American men who were treated with ADT had a 77 percent higher risk of death when compared to non-African American men, the causes of which were not due to prostate cancer.
"When African-American men were exposed to an average of only four months of hormone therapy, primarily used to make the prostate small enough for brachytherapy, they suffered from higher mortality rates due to causes other than prostate cancer than non-African American men," Konstantin Kovtun, MD, explained. "This leads us to believe that there may be something intrinsic to the biology of African-American men that predisposes them to this increased risk of death and that this deserves further study."
If you are African American you should give careful consideration to this finding. Although this research only evaluated short-term ADT, it clearly raises very serious concerns for any ADT
This finding gives us further pause. Along with the recent findings that African American men gain a significant benefit from Provenge, it seems to reinforce the concept that there are underlying biological differences in African American men when compared to their non-African American counterparts.

Hibs accept Griffiths punishment
Leigh Griffiths will serve a one-match suspension after Hibernian declined the opportunity to contest the charge imposed after the striker made an offensive gesture in last Saturday's match with Rangers.
Hibs accepted the ban proposed by the Scottish Football Association and, instead of being the subject of a disciplinary tribunal on Thursday, Griffiths, who is on loan from Wolves, will miss Saturday's Clydesdale Bank Premier League fixture with Aberdeen.
A statement on official club website www.hibernianfc.co.uk read: "Hibernian FC confirmed today (Tuesday) it would not be appealing the notice of complaint issued by the Scottish FA compliance officer against Leigh Griffiths and would accept the one-match suspension offered."

Stories for the week ending 11/18/2016
Facebook has expanded its definition of hate speech to include pretty much any attack on anybody for anything, but excludes things that it deems to be jokes, even if they are in bad taste. They haven't, however, given any additional details about how they are going to enforce those rules, or how they are going to train staff to support users who are victims.
What does Facebook consider to be hate speech?
Twitter is also getting more serious about abuse, again. It has expanded its mute function and promises that employees will be retrained to recognize and deal with trolls. Let's hope for some results.
Twitter announces more tools for dealing with abuse
Yik Yak's best days appear to be behind it. Could the reason for the decline be that they recently stopped allowing anonymous accounts and posts? Probably not, but they are bringing optional full anonymity anyway.
We messed up. Here's why we're making handles optional again and bringing back the Hot feed.
We assume that teen depression has been a thing for as long as there have been teens. The transition from being a child to being an adult can be a difficult one – a lot of changes are crammed into a seven-year period. Since 2005, cases of teen depression have risen 17%, and researchers are pointing to the rise of social media as the culprit.

Thanks to a new law passed in the UK this week, your browsing history is fair game to law enforcement, and any other branch of the government that wants it under some circumstances. ISPs will now be required to store your browsing history for the last 12 months, and make it available to the authorities in any investigation. Seems like bad policy to us.
Britain has passed the 'most extreme surveillance law ever passed in a democracy'
When it comes to social media, it's not just teens behaving badly. An assistant professor at Oberlin College has been fired after her anti Semitic social media posts were reported to school officials – posts that claimed that Jews were responsible for the 9/11 and the Paris terrorist attacks.

If your daughter sees a post like this on Snapchat – an account looking to hire young models – she should be very wary:
"We are offering between £450 and £55,000 a shoot depending on who we put you forward for. In terms of different types of modeling we literally do every single type you could think of. Obviously the more you are interested in the better chance you have of getting jobs. This is a one-off opportunity and we are looking for 30 new models. This is purely based on a first come, first served basis. If you are interested, then please give me a message asap. Bear in mind the reason why we have added you to our company Snapchat account is because we are interested in you as well."

In July I had the pleasure of focusing on some training for my research project 'Reconnecting Western Australia's Photographic Collections'. I was not even 6 months into my PhD candidacy, but I am planning to be looking at a lot of collection metadata from at least four different institutions. I needed to make sure that what I was envisaging to do was possible (for me), and practical (with the time and resources I have). Therefore, the purpose of this training was to make sure that I understood the basic skills that I would need to access and understand the collection data, and also the possibilities to process that data so that I could ask the questions I needed.
You might not think about it this way, but cultural heritage institutions like Libraries, Museums and Archives do not just collect items, such as books, paintings or artefacts, but they collect data - a lot of data. Each 'thing' in their collection has masses of associated information, such as its provenance, where it is from, who created it, who collected it, what the item is, what it is made out of, what is its size, what curatorial department it belongs to, what exhibitions it has been part of, what it depicts or talks about … the list goes on. As I said - LOTS OF DATA! And today, most of this data is stored and processed with computers. I need to make sure I can tell the computer what I want to do with all of that data.
My first stop was the lovely University of Oxford to attend the Digital Humanities Oxford Summer School (DHOxSS). Here I was enrolled in the course 'Humanities Data: A Hands-On Approach' which focused on tools, methods and concepts for managing, organizing, cleaning and processing data. This was very much an introductory level series of workshops designed at showing participants just enough so they could identify what may or may not be of use. They started us with an HTML file (what you get when you are on a webpage, right click and 'view page source') and asked us to 'find the data'. I honestly could not find the data - it was an important lesson about not being scared to start familiarizing ourselves with code so that we can problem solve our way forward in a digital world. Over the coming days we were introduced to the light and dark side of MS Excel (it can be your friend, and your darkest enemy), trying our hand at SQL, cleaning data in OpenRefine, visualizing data in open access tools like 'FusionTables', and a taster of Python. These practical workshops were balanced with presentations from current digital humanities projects (you can access them on their Oxford podcast series), and seminars with great information about planning and managing data projects, data structures, copyright and open access of data. I also had the opportunity to meet with a lot of other people working with cultural heritage data and gained some amazing insight into the potential and challenges in our fields of interest. Although I did not learn all the answers and tricks to working with collection data in this week of training, I did learn which tools to start focusing on to start effectively working with my .csv and .xml files of collection data.
For the remainder of the month of July, I was placed with The British Museum ResearchSpace project. Here I practically learned how to map a dataset from its source to the CIDOC-CRM standard with the held of Dominic Oldman and the ResearchSpace team, and in such a way that it can be imported into the ResearchSpace platform. I am mapping data into CIDOC-CRM so that I may understand the data about photographs collectively instead of separately. CIDOC-CRM is an information standard developed by the CIDOC Documentation Standards Working Group and the International Council of Museums (ICOM) with the aim to express the full richness of cultural heritage materials' data, and is an official international standard (ISO 21127:2014). This 'richness' expressed by CIDOC-CRM should be ideal for photographs' data because photographs are collected across all types of collecting institutions. Both the State Library of WA and the WA Museum have some of their data available online - so I utilized this data for my training in mapping to CIDOC-CRM. I was surprised at how the mapping process challenged my assumptions about the collection data, and clarified the meaning of data fields. The difference in how the State Library and Museum created photograph 'records' was revealed tangibly through the mapping, despite there being many commonalities in types of information recorded. I am looking forward to delving into the data more to understand these differences and commonalities in the coming years. Through this process I utilized the Google Docs App draw.io to visualize my mapping, OpenRefine to clean and process my datasets from spreadsheets to .xml files, and the 3M mapper tool. I will need to use Python to edit .xml files, but I am still working on my skills in this area.
My month concluded at the ResearchSpace Symposium and workshop 'Building Cultural Heritage Knowledge' where I presented alongside Dr. Toby Burrows, sharing my progress working with and understanding WA's photographic collections. You can read Toby's blog about the conference here on the CTW website. I was able to attend the Symposium thanks to a bursary funded by the conference funder the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation through ResearchSpace, and a UWA Graduate Research School Travel Grant. I can't thank them enough for helping me get to the U.K. for this training. I finished my month very much aware at how much digital methodologies are becoming an integral part of how we manage and research data, and how much there is to learn. The bells and whistles of the digital world can be quite distracting (I strongly recommend listening to some of Andrew Prescott's closing address at DHOxSS), but some of the presentations at DHOxSS and the Research Space Symposium reminded me also of the very practical and necessary outcomes of some of these tools and projects. I feel like I have made a proactive leap to my own data methodology and research, and I strongly recommend anyone wishing to work with collection data to start delving and not be daunted by the digital world.

About a year ago, I discovered a whole new world, right on my doorstep.
I'd kind of forgotten about it until I found this photo in my phone.
I had given into my night owl tendency, and worked through until around 4am. Looking up, I'd noticed daylight was already creeping in through the curtains, and so, not quite ready to go to bed, I decided to go for a walk.
Outside, I was amazed to find myself an intruder – an unwanted outsider – in a pre-dawn land that belonged to the birds.
The cacophony of their song was incredible. From every rooftop and branch, it seemed, there was an amazing singer working hard to outdo his neighbour.
Birds was strolling in crowds across the roads or hopping about on car bonnets with the kind of brazen confidence you never see in daylight hours. They threw me dirty looks and cracked jokes about humans.
It was wonderful and magical. But as the sun peeped over the horizon and a few other lone people began to appear, the secret night magic began to fade... until next time.

"A delicate, sugary crust gives way to a soft, chewy cookie in this homespun classic.
It's sweetness is enhanced by a hint of lemon."
Tips: Use an ordinary plate easel as cookbook or iPad stand.
The recipe called for an electric mixer, but I prefer mixing it by my hands because it called old-fashioned so I want to try out!
And it was tiring hehe but I enjoyed it, it's a fun baking.
Mix sugars, lemon zest and butter until pale and fluffy by whisk and then when you start mix eggs and flour use a wooden spoon.
Sprinkle tops with sugar.
Ta-da. The smells is so breath-taking, when I ate first bite, I was flying like a little girl playing in the graden at around in the house. I can't explain how delicious it is.
Old-Fashioned Sugar Cookies:
Adapted from Martha Stewart.
You'll need:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup unsalted butter, (2 sticks), softened
2 large eggs
Sanding sugar, for sprinkling
- Preheat oven to 350ºF / 180ºC.
- Sift flour, baking soda, and salt into a bowl; set aside.
- Put sugars and lemon zest in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed 30 seconds. Add butter; mix until pale and fluffy, about 1 minute. Mix in eggs, 1 at a time, and then the lemon juice. Reduce speed; gradually add flour mixture, and mix until just combined.
- Scoop dough using a 2-inch ice cream scoop; space cookies 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Flatten cookies slightly with a spatula. Sprinkle tops with sanding sugar, then lightly brush with a wet pastry brush; sprinkle with more sanding sugar.
- Bake cookies until golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks using a spatula; let cool completely. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.

I stood at the back of the room dressed in a tuxedo shirt and bow tie with black pants. The emotions caught me by surprise. As I looked around the room, I saw familiar faces. I looked at the person on stage. I used to be that person, the one standing on the stage in the front of the room giving the keynote address. I wanted to be that person again. But today I was standing in the back of the room wearing an apron and cleaning up dirty dishes. It was a painful reminder that I was not where I used to be.
To me, it felt like a giant demotion. Being there as part of the catering staff felt like a declaration of my failure. I guess the book thing didn't work for her, so now the poor thing has to wait tables. The voice of the accuser haunted my ears. "See, you tried too hard, you went too fast, you pushed too hard and you ruined it. Now you will never have it because you messed it up. Everyone else knew you weren't ready, that you were too young, but you didn't listen. You kept pushing anyway." All of his words confirmed to me that I was an Orphan, unworthy and abandoned…unloved.
But I kept serving and smiling. I texted my husband to ask him to pray. He knew what it felt like. He had friends show up at concerts where he was working security and not the green room. He reminded me that we were doing what we had to so that we could provide for our family. I hated that. I hated doing this to provide and not the things I loved doing, that I was gifted to do, that I was called to do. And then I became the Accuser. If God wanted to, he could have made it so. He could have made our efforts successful. But he didn't. The proof was as plain as day… he must not love us after all.
And in my desperate prayer for help, I heard his voice. "Well done, my good and faithful servant. It makes no difference to me whether you are standing on a platform in the front of the room or standing with the catering staff in the back of the room. It's all service. All of it is serving me and my purposes for my glory. I don't care where you are standing; I care about your heart." I asked him to forgive me for putting him in the wrong.
He is lovingly teaching me what it means to serve. I'm learning to be content serving in the back. I'm finding joy in serving others and helping others' dreams come true. God, in his amazing grace, has even given me friends to serve alongside. Last weekend some friends who were in Bible studies with me years ago came and worked at my catering job too. What fun it was to serve together again! So we weren't planning a women's retreat or doing a weekly women's Bible study. But it was still sacred because we were doing what Jesus did when he took up the basin and the towel.
Recently I was filling out another job application, and it asked where I saw myself in five years. I used to be able to answer this question easily because I was very goal-oriented. However now I'm in a place I never planned to be, and my goals are completely worthless when matched against God's sovereign plan. I've learned that I am and will always be a follower of Jesus. And Jesus had no career goals or plans. He simply did whatever the Father asked him to do; he went wherever the Father asked him to go; he said whatever the Father asked him to say. And everything was overshadowed by two words: loving and serving. By his example, Jesus made all service sacred.
I don't know where my "career" is going, but I do know that wherever the Father asks me to go, I will be loving and serving others, hopefully just like Jesus did. I serve at the pleasure of the King, and I will go wherever he asks me to go…to a tiny back room to make jewelry, to a marketing firm as a PR assistant, to my family at home or standing in the back of the room in a tuxedo shirt and apron. Some day I may even stand on a platform again delivering a keynote address, but it will still be about loving and serving people, and it will be no greater or more significant or more important than where I am serving and loving today. It's all loving and serving people. It's all pleasing to the Lord when my heart is the heart of a Princess. Just like Jesus, I serve at the pleasure of the King.

Patan, called as the city of fine arts is the small and beautiful artistic city near from the main center of Kathmandu and has remained a masterpiece and one the best cultural tour destination inside Kathmandu Valley.
As soon as we reach the square, at first the parallel view of the cultural city is spectacular from the roof top opposite of the main entrance. This gives the sense of the civilization that evolved in ancient Kathmandu. The iconic Krishna Temple is the supreme combination of arts with the religion. The whole epic Mahabharat and Ramayana has been inscribed in this beautiful stone temple. Hats off to the Artists.
Equally praiseworthy is palace and palace museum. And this is so amazing to pass by the local elders who just stay in the resting places and share their memories with one another. The locals use this place as the best hang outs zone as well.
Beside Durbar Square, it's recommended to go to Golden Temple, which is one the sacred Buddhist temple in Kathmandu valley. The oldest temple of Patan is Kumbheswor which is said to be erected in 12th century. The statue of GAJALAXMi which is the oldest one in Nepal is also in Patan, near Chyasal. This is the symbolic manifestation of the Ganesh and Laxmi being together, both the icons of prosperity.
The narrow allies, called as Gallies are also worth passing through. The temple of Mahaboudha is also one the Shikhara Style Buddhist Temple which is inspired from the Temple of Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya. Mahaboudha is the corner to see the Buddhist sculpture.
Now still there are lots more to see exclusive of Patan Darbar Square. We can visit Ashokan Stupa at Pulchowk. This is one of the four Stupas that the great emperor Ashoka erected around 3rd century B.C in a mission to make 84000 Stupas all over the world in order to spread the teaching of Buddha. There are four other stupas in Patan of such type.
Patan has lot to offer.
If You've Got the Time, We've Got the Place. We have our expertise to give the best glimpse of the civilization of the middle age.

my sketchbook: digital drawings
This digital thing is quickly becoming an obsession for me. It's easy. It's meditative. It forces me to work more loosely - always a challenge. And it only requires my tablet and stylus. I've started drawing when I'm "supposed" to be quietly still like everyone else - watching television at night. (both "quietly" and "still" are nearly impossible for me)
Do you do other things while (supposedly) sitting still?

I love the piece with the daisies, it's really pretty. A creative mind never sits still!! =)ReplyDelete
WoW .. just what I needed this morning on this dreary gray foggy cloudy overcast day ... Love . Love . Love the jump of color!!ReplyDelete
Muchas Gracias ...........now I can get to work! ♦♦
Still? Are you kidding? Even over here with absolutely n o t h i n g I have to do; still can't sit still.ReplyDelete
Quitely is me, but still is not! I am always doing something, even while watching TV! Always have several different projects in progress and at hand!ReplyDelete
I do exactly what I'm doing now. . .flipping through blogs, reading, and commenting.ReplyDelete
Your skills on an electronic sketchbook are just as amazing as on paper!

Next generation parallel sequencing technologies made chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-Seq) a popular strategy to study genome-wide protein-DNA interactions, while creating challenges for analysis algorithms. We present Model-based Analysis of ChIP-Seq (MACS) on short reads sequencers such as Genome Analyzer (Illumina / Solexa). MACS empirically models the length of the sequenced ChIP fragments, which tends to be shorter than sonication or library construction size estimates, and uses it to improve the spatial resolution of predicted binding sites. MACS also uses a dynamic Poisson distribution to effectively capture local biases in the genome sequence, allowing for more sensitive and robust prediction. MACS compares favorably to existing ChIP-Seq peak-finding algorithms, is publicly available open source, and can be used for ChIP-Seq with or without control samples.
Now, the newest version is version 1.4.2
MACS is written by Yong Zhang and Tao Liu from Xiaole Shirley Liu's Lab.

The name "Mi.To" is meant to symbolize the fusion of Milan's fashion sense with Torino's manufacturing prowess, but that doesn't mean Alfa Romeo's new small car is genuinely Italian. That is, the Mi.To is based on the Fiat Grande Punto platform...which was jointly developed with GM (and is used as the foundation of the Opel Corsa) when the Italian and U.S. automakers were joined at the hip before their separation in 2005. What's more, the Mi.To was designed by Frank Stephenson, who designed the previous-generation MINI, which explains why the MINI is a clear target of the Mi.To (he also led the development of the Fiat 500). Styling influence comes from the Alfa C8 Competizione, as witnessed in the headlamp and side window design, along with a revised front grille—all of these cues are likely to appear on future Alfas. Power is to be provided by a choice of four turbocharged gasoline and diesel engines with output between 90 to 155 hp, with a GTA model expected shortly after the Mi.To launches in Europe in July. Alfa is mum on whether the Mi.To will arrive on U.S. shores when the brand returns in 2009.—KMK.

Glide Magazine is presenting an exclusive preview of Ray & Remora's new video for the song "Don't Shoot Me Down". Read the Glide Magazine article here.
The video was conceived and directed by USC student Lina Suh who had this to say about creating it: "I listened to the sound of the song first, how it felt, then read the lyrics repeatedly, jotting down visuals and ideas that occurred. One thing that I felt pretty immediately was a fiery spirit trapped in nostalgia, inherent in an ending relationship, that it fights to shake off. I sensed a wonderful cinematic opportunity in the sound and story, and though we wouldn't have much of a budget to work with, I started the scope wild and trusted that we would find a way to scale it back enough to create the journey that lives up to the song's fiery spirit."
Amanda Walker a/k/a Remora has this to say about the video: "Lina is truly an amazing director. I'm still in awe how she got so many beautiful shots in just two days. What a whirlwind – after the 4am all day first day shoot, we had the second day of shooting at my house. At 10am fifteen kids AND their parents showed up to shoot the birthday party scene. It was madness. And I had bought all these colorful toys I thought looked pretty, forgetting that giving kids toys means they will destroyyyyyy and conquer. If they weren't acting they were firing helicopter guns EVERYWHERE. We had a grand ol'time."

Tents that had been erected in a London, Ont., park as part of the city's Occupy protest were removed by police and bylaw officers early Wednesday.
Mayor Joe Fontana had issued a 6 p.m. Tuesday deadline for protesters to remove the tents, but the tents remained in Victoria Park long past the deadline.
Police and city bylaw officers entered the park at about 1 a.m. to dismantle tents and other structures. The process took about an hour.
Fontana also said Tuesday that protesters could continue to demonstrate in the park, but nobody would be allowed on the grounds between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. He said if they didn't leave, they would be evicted.
However, the 10 p.m. deadline passed without incident and by early Wednesday, Insp. Kelly O'Callaghan said there were still "about 40 occupiers in the park." He did not indicate if police would try to remove them.
Earlier Tuesday, about 1,000 people were in the park to hear a speech by Ontario Federation of Labour president Sid Ryan.
In Vancouver, the city's police chief warned Occupy protesters to disperse after saying black-masked people pushed around firefighters, kicked and punched police and sent two officers to hospital with bite wounds.
Chief Jim Chu said the melee unfolded at the encampment in a downtown square around midnight Monday.
TWITTER REACTS (Story Continues Below)
"If you wish to avoid arrest and avoid whatever violence will be initiated by those among you, we urge the legitimate protesters to leave now," Chu told reporters Tuesday, only hours before city lawyers began a process in B.C. Supreme Court to obtain an injunction to legally force the camp's removal.
Chu was joined by the city's Fire Chief John McKearney as he said the tone of the camp has transformed from an initial "non-violent spirit of co-operation" to one with an "increasing number of problem people."
A scuffle broke out when firefighters moved in to extinguish a fire in a barrel.
Police stepped in when people in black masks and others "who are intent on violence" formed a human chain to prevent the firefighters from doing their job and began to push them around, Chu said.
Officers were then punched, kicked and bitten, while one had his ammunition clip stolen. No arrests were made.
Chu wouldn't give any timeline or say when his force might move in to clear the site, noting the force is waiting on the court's ruling before making any decisions.
But he stressed police still have a goal of ending the encampment peacefully. (CFPL)
"It has often been said by those in the Occupy movement that they represent the 99 per cent of us," Chu said. "If that is true then we ask you to remember that 99 per cent of the population obeys the law and respects the rights of others."
The fracas came just two days after the group's general assembly voted by consensus to formally adopt a policy of non-violence.
Only between 15 and 25 people are currently sleeping in tents at night, McKearney said, while many more people join throughout the day.
A video posted on YouTube, called "First Nations sacred fire gets put out by VFD," shows the late-night scene unfold.
Only a handful among the group of dozens appear to wear coverings over their faces. People yelled as the firefighters slowly move in with police behind them.
"That is my right to have this fire. I am First Nations," yelled one woman as the group jostles.
"No respect," the crowd chanted as smoke blew in the wind. The group yelled at the officers as they slowly backed out of the site and some people hugged each other before beginning to sing.
The escalation of tensions in Vancouver comes as one of the various Occupy camps across the country voluntarily cleared out.
The public square in front of Halifax city hall was unoccupied Tuesday for the first time in nearly a month as the anti-capitalist protesters relocated ahead of Remembrance Day ceremonies.
Brian Crouse, one of the demonstrators, said the cleanup and subsequent move to a nearby park went smoothly.
"There's a sense of real community and a sense that we leave this space in the best condition possible," Crouse said as he helped load a moving van.
Corey Samoila said he spent the night tearing down tents and helped provide security because tension grew.
"Because of the move, some people got a little hostile. It got interesting but we managed to calm everything down," said Samoila.
"I think common sense kicked in — and the fact that the food and the medical tents weren't going to be here."
The protesters later began pitching tents at Victoria Park a few blocks away.
Mayor Peter Kelly said he was appreciative the protesters followed through on their commitment to vacate Grand Parade to allow city officials to prepare the city square for Remembrance Day events on Friday.
"We'll be trying to repair the grass and spraying down the cenotaph," said Kelly as he surveyed the vacant square.
He was less enthusiastic about the possibility that the protesters will return this weekend once Remembrance Day ceremonies conclude, as they have promised.
"They have to understand that this is a public square and it's not just for one group but for everybody," he said. "They had their time here."
Kelly said several events have already been scheduled at the site, including the annual Christmas tree and menorah lighting, as well as New Year's Eve celebrations.
He said police and fire officials would evaluate the situation at Victoria Park on a daily basis to ensure everyone is safe there.
The mayor said the occupation outside city hall presented some challenges with incidents involving weapons, arguments, drugs and alcohol.
"We've had these challenges as they've had all across the country," he said. "For the most part, they have been respectful and they have been responsive."
In Vancouver, the battle to move the protesters from their encampment in front of the city art gallery was being waged in the courts Tuesday.
City lawyer Ben Parkin asked a B.C. Supreme Court judge for an interim order for Occupy protesters to fully comply with fire regulations set out by the fire chief last week, or face arrest. The matter was put over until Wednesday.
Court documents filed on Monday show the city is seeking a permanent injunction forcing the group to remove the encampment.
It also seeks authority for Vancouver police to "arrest and remove" anyone who is interfering or obstructing city employees or protesters who are packing up gear.
Parkin argued the city's case in court by referencing a variety of safety concerns, including fire hazards, pests, injection drug use, a near-fatal overdose and the death of a 23-year-old in a tent on Saturday. He contends protesters are breaking the city land-use and fire bylaws.
"It's very clear that the situation at the site — while it may have been very peaceful at the outset — has deteriorated," Parkin told the judge. "There is now both a significant life safety issue there ... and also a civil disobedience or lawlessness."
The request has also been delayed until the group secures better representation and has time to develop a response.
"I'm very pleased, personally speaking, that we have a judge here who wants to hear us and I couldn't have asked for a better hearing, someone who cares," said Michael Hejazi, one of dozens of the contingent who packed into the courtroom. "So we're thrilled."
Several members of the group have said even if the injunction is granted, they don't plan to vacate.
The City of Victoria also announced Tuesday it has been granted a hearing on Nov. 15 to apply for a similar injunction.
The city says the Occupy camp contravenes a bylaw and is blocking upcoming holiday events, including the installation of a public skating rink and a Christmas tree lighting in Centennial Square.
Calgary city council voted unanimously Monday night to start moving protesters out of Olympic Plaza.
Mayor Naheed Nenshi said it will start with warnings, then tickets, and could involve the removal of unmanned tents. He didn't give any timeline, but said the city council would like it to happen quickly.
The Occupy demonstrations in Canada are among dozens of protests around the world that grew out of the Occupy Wall Street movement that targets corporate greed and massive economic inequity.

First resto we went into was Mr. Chicken. we went thru the menu and tadaa! It's all chicken. All 8 menu entries were all chicken. Good thing the folks in Mr. Chicken were kind to point us to that Korean Resto above Forest Inn, still along Legarda Road.
Everyone said hi when we walked in. After all, we were the only ones there. The resto's layout reminded me of a college cafeteria, lotsa seats and a big screen right in front.
We started ordering, although I forgot what their names were, I remembered we spent 1700 pesos. Haha. All for the three of us. We ordered, "black pancit", semgyapsal (that bacon-like pork you cook yourself), sweet and sour shrimp and garlic shrimp. But wait, there's more, they threw in complimentary soup too! We decided not to order rice for obvious reasons.
Now the food review, the black pancit was saucy, squidy and filling. The pork was , well, predictable. It was nice to eat with the complimentary grass-like onion flavored side dish. It was the shrimp dishes that was a bit of disappointment. Too much shrimp is bad. Cornstarch coated shrimp swimming in sweet and sour sauce is worse. It looked nice. It was supposed to be garlicky but I did not taste garlicky at all. The other shrimp dish looked and tasted the same, only with better presentation. The fruits on top gave it an elegant look, but average taste. Soup was spicy and free. Can't complain about that.
Place is great for get togethers with friends, prerably four or more so you can split the bill nicely. For three people and 4+1 dishes. It was a bit too much and too pricey for me. Two of us split with the left overs, so I guess it's all good.
So there, big group, 1000+ budget? This place is for you.

Looks much better now (10:15). Thanks Deanna.
Yikes, I read this at a little after 4:30 am Thurs morning but am relieved to see that you commented on things looking better last night Nancy: may today continue to be a day of less wind and no more fires sprouting here and there, above all, stay safe Nancy.
"Not good for asthma" seems an understatement, Sugar. Keep posting updates, and know that I look forward to the one that says "It's out now." Take good care.
fingers crossed here, take care
be safe Nancy
Marti~ Yes, things are better day by day. Fire now long out, air clearing. All is well.

Angela Busby gives her heart and soul to each patient. She genuinely cares about your well being and shows it. Her remedies can often be simple but so effective and easy to follow through with at home. Her focus is on helping your body work at its maximum efficiency rather than just ridding you of symptoms. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.
Angela is clearly a passionate and dedicated Naturopath. She was understanding, warm, caring, but most importantly professional and extremely knowledgeable! She took excellent care of my daughter with her eczema and knew exactly what to test for and how to resolve the issues we'd had so much trouble diagnosing through the medical system. I can't recommend her highly enough, she's amazing!!
12 Years ago I developed abdominal pain and diarrhea during or just after every meal. Subsequent visits to my doctors yielded numerous blood tests, a Gastroscopy and Colonoscopies x 2. All these test came back normal and the doctors told me I was fine (no coeliac disease or other abnormalities). I was labelled with having Irritable Bowel Syndrome with possible food sensitivities. I was told there was no treatment available. Meeting with Angela has changed all this. On our first meeting I was very keen to do the Full Diagnostic Stool testing as I wanted feedback on the status of my bowel health. The stool analysis results confirmed reasons for all the symptoms I was experiencing. I had parasites, bacterial imbalances and digestive imbalances. Specific treatment was able to address these issues and I was surprised at how quickly my symptoms were relieved. I committed to taking all the supplements prescribed and my body is rebalancing and healing. I want long term results that last and am happy to continue supplements that benefit my overall health. A secondary bonus from treatment has been an improvement in my skin. My skin was very fragile (more like that of an eighty year old, not a fifty year old). But with my improved digestion I now have no broken blood vessels on my skin. After 12 years of diarrhea and abdominal pain being a constant companion, I now have no diarrhea and no abdominal pain. Thanks!
I started seeing Angela in January this year (2014) after about four to six months of noticing that my hair was falling out in large amounts. I also had no energy, was irritable, forgetful and generally unmotivated. Angela recommended hair mineral analysis, which revealed mineral deficiencies. As soon as I started taking the supplements she suggested I started to feel more energetic and less vague. I had also had pretty severe cyclical breast tenderness on and off for probably two years prior to seeing Angela. I had actually seen two other natural health practitioners about this issue with limited success. After getting me back on track with the minerals, Angela started adding supplements to support my liver to better process estrogen. It took awhile to get the problem sorted, probably six months, but I've had three months of pain free cycles now. I'm quite relieved that my body is working better now as I was concerned about what could happen down the track if the liver wasn't able to effectively process that estrogen out of my system. Angela has a lot of knowledge to share, really listened to me and carefully considered the best options for treatment.She also treated my daughter who is 11 and has Lyme disease. A lot of practitioners have no clue about what to do with Lyme disease in Australia, but Angela's treatment started helping Lily right away.
I have had an amazing experience at Busby Naturopathics. I have been there approx: 4 times and each time Angela has been very friendly and caring, always listening to every word I had to say and extremely thorough and spot on in their diagnosis of the problems I had. Angela created a personalised treatment protocol for me and I was given specific supplements to take and when I returned a couple of months later, there was so much improvement in me that I was shocked.Busby Naturopathics is now where I will continue to go as I have faith in them, they are inexpensive and they do a fantastic job and make me feel very comfortable and cared for.What I love the most is that they take their time with the clients and work with excellence. I would gladly recommend Busby Naturopathics to every one I meet as I think they have done a great job in helping me heal.

Coco Cabasa Trailer (2016)
Trailer for the documentary Coco Cabasa.
Kaouthar Darmoni believes that her sister women need to embrace their primal feminine power. We are introduced to her while she gives her rousing and liberating belly dance lessons. She is a paragon of emancipation: confident, funny and expressive. Interviews and conversations with Darmoni and several key figures in her life reveal that she had to fight hard to get where she is today. This gender studies lecturer now living in Amsterdam travels with filmmaker Klara Til to Tunisia, where she was born, and to France, where she hoped she would find refuge and the chance to really fly. But she was horrified to discover that the women there were not as liberated as she expected. Emancipation seems to go hand-in-hand with the suppression of femininity, and that's something Kaouthar simply refuses to do. Her taboo-breaking belly dance is inspired by memories of the sensuality of Tunisian women – although she felt oppressed by her father and society there, she obviously still loves Arabic culture.

Harmless Harvest Coconut Water
I never cared much for coconut water, but then one day some friends had me try some Harmless Harvest 100% Raw Coconut Water. It was like drinking from a raw coconut, which, it turns out, is not too far from the truth.
The flavor, aroma, and nutrition found in the liquid inside young green coconuts, known as coconut water, is contained within volatile compounds. As in all raw ingredients, these delicate compounds are significantly altered when heated. With heat pasteurized coconut waters lining the shelves, we reinvented the supply chain to maintain the integrity from freshly cracked nut to freshly cracked bottle. We source unique 100% organic coconuts with a distinctly sweet and nutty flavor, and grown using traditional organic farming methods. We protect that flavor through a cutting-edge, proprietary manufacturing systems including straight coconut-to-bottle bottling and high pressure processing. The best ingredients should be enjoyed just as nature grew them.
I'm no doctor, so I don't know if all the health benefits of coconut water are real, but this Harmless Harvest stuff tastes damn good. Costco now carries four-packs, and I grabbed one my last visit. Even at Costco, it's not cheap at about $4 a bottle, but since I don't drink coffee, it's my temporary substitute indulgence.

Known as a magnet for online bargain hunters, eBay has done a little shopping of its own, snapping up a pair of classified advertising sites and a leading online payments service for a total of about $1.4 billion.
The acquisitions were expected, as eBay aggressively moves to expand its online footprint and offset flagging sales on its core eBay.com site.
eBay's purchases coincide with the elimination of 1,600 jobsor 10 percent of its workforce. eBay explains that the cuts will save about $150 million a year, and free up resources to focus on growth areas like online payment services and classifieds.
Recently, top eBay executives indicated the company would tap into its deep cash reserves to buy out top classifieds sites in targeted industries and geographic markets.
This week, eBay announced it acquired classified site Den Bla Avis and vehicle specialist BilBasen for $390 million, further strengthening its market position in Denmark, and expanding its online classifieds business to more than 20 countries. Combined, the sites generate more than 180 page views per month, the company says.
"Classifieds are the preferred e-commerce format in Denmark, and represent an attractive and growing market," said Jacob Aqraou, general manager of eBay's global classifieds business unit. "With more than 25 years of classifieds success in Denmark, Den Bla Avis and BilBasen are household names with Danish consumers and we're very excited to welcome them and all of their employees to the eBay global classifieds portfolio."
At the same time, eBay moved to solidify the market leadership of its PayPal online payments subsidiary by acquiring Bill Me Laterthe no. 2 online payments brandfor a total of $945 million in cash and stock. The company plans to integrate the two payment services to allow PayPal users to defer payments and receive promotional financing services.
According to John Donahoe, eBay's president and chief executive, PayPal and Bill Me Later "belong together."
Gary Marino, chief executive of Bill Me Later, will continue to run the company as a business unit of PayPal.
Auctiva staff writers constantly monitor trends and best practices of those selling on eBay and elsewhere online. They attend relevant training seminars and trade shows and regularly discuss the market with PowerSellers and other market experts.

"Heaven and earth are only three feet apart, but in the thin places that distance is even smaller." – Celtic Saying
This is the thin place of the year. 2012 is just days away. Hard to believe the year 2011 has passed so quickly!
At the thin place where the two years converge it's important to recognize what matters most to us. Often it's the people that we care about – at home, work, and in the community.
For the Holiday Season what do we give to those who have enriched our daily lives? What can we give that expresses the difference they make and the value they add?
Of course the malls are filled with folks busy searching for just the right thing that expresses that caring and thanks.
This Christmas there's another kind of gift that we can give, one that you can't get at the mall or online. It's a gift that directly matches the positive impact of our family, friends and close colleagues. It's the Gift of Presence.
Showing Up
Showing up and being present with someone is an act of love and respect. It says that the other person is important and that the time we spend with them is valuable.
It's something everyone who loves, admires and respects us wants at any time of the year—our time and company.
So many of us are flying from one thing to another fed by an adrenaline drip. Meetings are scheduled at 15-minute intervals, ten hours every day. Before and after work there are kids to be driven to lessons, chores to do, trips to the gym and when we are thoroughly brain dead, television to be watched. Doesn't leave much space for meaningful connections.
Showing up, according to Woody Allen, is 80% of success. That's true as well in relationships. No spouse, child, friend or subordinate wants to be in relationship with a missing person...unless they've checked out too.
Time Travelers
When we're not busy putting out the latest fire at home or work, we are preoccupied by something we have to do later or something that has already been done but we haven't brought to closure.
We are like time travelers in that regard. We are operating in multiple time zones with one important exception, the present moment.
Thinking about where we've been and where we're going next keeps us trapped in our heads and divorced from the present moment where we can actually make something happen.
We rationalize our lack of presence by citing our burdens and our fears. These sound like excuses to those who want to be close to us. Before long the very people we care most about are disappointed and resentful about our absences. What could be more important than our marriage, family, friendship or team they wonder?
Eventually, the effect on those of us that are caught up in distraction and preoccupation is a profound loneliness, separation and disassociation.
What To Do
Okay, so you're an Uber-Time Traveler who is willing to reform. You'll want to know what to do, right? As Philip Shepherd reminds us in his marvelous new book New Self, New World:
"Changing our course and setting a bearing home—home to the Present that waits to greet and guide us—is a kind of revolution that begins not on some grand scale, but on a deeply personal one."
Follow these steps to reset your sails:
1. Make A Conscious Choice To Be Here
The present moment is where your loved ones live, not in the future or the past. That's where you will find them waiting patiently for you to show up. You can do that by choosing to be present.
The choice to be with them instead of your thoughts might feel a little awkward at first. Don't worry. You'll get used to it. And, it gets easier with practice.
If you're having a hard time remembering to stay in the present find a little stone that you can keep in the palm of your hand. When you find yourself drifting give it a squeeze. It will help you transition back to the NOW.
2. Envision The Relationship You Want
It's helpful to have an idea of the kind of relationship you want to build with those you care about.
If you are a time traveler chances are you have good problem solving skills (built by obsessing about the past) and planning skills (built by worry over the future.)
Bad way to acquire skills, I admit. But the good news is these skills are transferrable to the present.
Try envisioning a deeper, more meaningful relationship with your spouse, your kids, and your colleagues at work. What would it look like? How would you accomplish it? Then, get to work.
3. Prioritize and Manage Time
One reason that we don't show up in our relationships is that we leave them to last. That generally produces bad results. We're too tired, rushed or trying to do too many other things that prevent quality connection.
Most of us are super-responsible for making our meetings. Carving out time for relationships can help us ensure that we are making them a priority and attending to them with full engagement and enthusiasm.
Knowing what we want to create in our relationships makes it easier to make it a priority and protect the time required to make relationships grow.
4. Remove Distractions
Trying to watch TV, read the paper, or input on your tablet computer while you're with another person certainly sets a mood. It also sends a message. Unfortunately, multitasking does not create an atmosphere that supports us to be present and focused on relationships.
Turn stuff off. Yes, even your mobile phone. There will be plenty of time later to take and return calls, catch up on the political gridlock, or worry about the Euro.
You might not get another chance to see your kid play hockey, sing in the Christmas choir, or read The Night Before Christmas. Before you know it they'll be grown and gone.
5. Be Open
You can show up but not be open to others and miss the opportunity to connect.
It's a sign of true engagement to be forthcoming about your thoughts, feelings, and needs. Openness, honesty and a little vulnerability can go a long way to thaw a relationship that has frozen over time from lack of attention.
Openness to doing what others find enjoyable, even when it's not your cup of tea, is a gesture that can create closeness.
Go to the opera or a neighborhood gathering if that's something your spouse loves to do. Ask a colleague out to lunch and don't talk business. Catch up and/or get to know each other better.
Get a tattoo with your kids. Guaranteed, they'll never see you the same way again.
6. Be Curious
Being curious about others is also a signal of both presence and caring. Many people are so wrapped up in their own world that they give other's only a passing thought if at all.
People who are "airhogs" prefer an audience to a relationship. If that's you, try listening for a change. You'll be amazed at what you can learn about someone else if you bring curiosity to bear and ask some questions rather than provide answers.
And, if you are bored in your relationships you are either in the wrong relationships or you're not paying attention. There is much that can be learned about others and the mystery of their lives if you are curious.
7. Be Grateful
Gratitude for the gift of companionship is also an important way to stay present to relationships and to steward their growth and development. What we are grateful for we value. When we value something it becomes a priority.
Those of us blessed by relationship and who are not grateful are gambling with a precious gift. How many people do you know who have allowed their most important relationships to drift and decline through inattention? How many families have come apart as a result? Think those folks are happy living alone?
Cultural anthropologist Angeles Arrien, writes in her important new book Living In Gratitude:
"Gratitude functions in the chain of reciprocity—the give and take factor in relationships—which does not incur indebtedness. Put another way, in relationships, gratitude and generosity are intertwined...By mutual giving, people become tied to each other by a web of feelings of gratitude."
If heaven and earth are truly just three feet apart, there's room enough for you, your loved ones, friends or colleagues. Together you make a bridge that connects the two worlds.
That connection begins when you choose to show up and take responsibility for nurturing your most important relationships.
That's a gift for every season.
Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Ashley's Birthday
My daughter just had her 6th birthday. The original plan was to rent a bouncy castle, since we have such a nice big backyard at our new house. HOWEVER, the weather was terrible and we had to implement plan B- a dress up party with a photobooth. It all went pretty smoothly. Not all the kids wanted to dress up… Read More

Comparatives and superlatives of adverbs - Easy Learning Grammar German
1 Comparative adverbsWhat is a comparative adverb?
A comparative adverb is one which, in English, has -er on the end of it or more or less in front of it, for example, earlier, later, sooner, more/less frequently.
- Adverbs can be used to make comparisons in German, just as they can in English. The comparative of adverbs is formed in exactly the same way as that of adjectives, that is by adding -er to the basic form. Als is used for than.
|Sie läuft schneller als ihr Bruder.
|She runs faster than her brother.
|Ich sehe ihn seltener als früher.
|I see him less often than before.
- To make as … as or not as … as comparisons with adverbs, you use the same phrases as with adjectives.
- so … wie as … as
|Er läuft so schnell wie sein Bruder.
|He runs as fast as his brother.
- nicht so … wie not as … as
|Sie kann nicht so gut schwimmen wie du.
|She can't swim as well as you.
- The idea of more and more … is expressed in German by using immer and the comparative form.
|Die Männer sprachen immer lauter.
|The men were talking louder and louder.
- the more … the more … is expressed in German by je … desto … or je … umso …
|Je eher, desto besser.
|The sooner the better.
|Je schneller sie fährt, umso mehr Angst habe ich!
|The faster she drives, the more frightened I am!
- For more information on Comparative adjectives, see Comparatives of adjectives.
2 Superlative adverbsWhat is a superlative adverb?
A superlative adverb is one which, in English, has -est on the end of it or most or least in front of it, for example, soonest, fastest, most/least frequently.
- The superlative of adverbs in German is formed in the following way and, unlike adjectives, is not declined:
|am + adverb + -sten
|Wer von ihnen arbeitet am schnellsten?
|Which of them works fastest?
|Er hat es am langsamsten gemacht.
|He did it slowest.
- Adverbs ending in -d, -t, -tz, -z, -sch, -ss, or -ß form the superlative by adding -esten. This makes pronunciation easier.
|Das Erdbeereis war bei den Kindern am beliebtesten.
|The strawberry ice cream was the most popular one with the kids.
|Am heißesten war es im Südspanien.
|It was hottest in southern Spain.
- For more information on Superlative adjectives, see Superlatives of adjectives.
- Note that some superlative adverbs are used to show the extent of a quality rather than a comparison. The following adverbs are used in this way:
|very well
|at the most/at best
|mostly/most often
|at the latest
|at least
|Die Geschäfte gehen bestens.
|Business is going very well.
|Er kommt meistens zu spät an.
|He usually arrives late.
|Wenigstens bekomme ich mehr Geld dafür.
|At least I'm getting more money for it.
3 Adverbs with irregular comparatives and superlatives
- A few German adverbs have irregular comparative and superlative forms.
|am liebsten
|am ehesten
|much, a lot
|am meisten
|Am liebsten lese ich Kriminalromane.
|I like detective stories best.
|Sie hat am meisten gewonnen.
|She won the most.
Key points
- Comparatives of adverbs are formed in the same way as comparatives of adjectives, adding -er to the basic form.
- To compare people or things, you use so … wie, ebenso … wie or nicht so … wie.
- Than in comparatives of adverbs corresponds to als.
- Superlatives of adverbs are formed by using the formula am + adverb + -sten/-esten.
- Unlike adjectives, adverbs do not change their form to agree with the verb, adjective or other adverb they relate to.
