Boys and girls alike love Dora the Explorer, and if this character is popular among your kids, a Dora luggage set can easily be used by a mix of sons and daughters.
The Dora the Explorer luggage includes rolling backpacks and a trolley case. The Dora the Explorer line of luggage is roomy enough, easy to clean and quite affordable, even if your child tires of it easily.
When your kids get too old for Dora, you can always donate the luggage. A wonderful thing to do for the holidays is to pack it with gifts and give it to a local charity for that child who is in and out of foster homes.

15 October 2007 is Blog Action Day. This year's theme is the Environment!
"If you have a blog and want to join in, all you have to do is use that day to post something related to the environment, in whatever way, shape, or form you prefer. You can pick an environmental issue that has meaning for you and let us know why it's important. Organize a beach or neighborhood cleanup and tell us about it. If you're into fiction writing, give us a story with an environmental theme. Have a podcast, videoblog, or photoblog? Join the fun! The idea here is to have a mass effect on public awareness by sharing as many ideas in as many ways as possible."All you have to do is register your blog with Blog Action Day and remember to write about something related to the environment on 15 October itself!
This is coming at such perfect timing because this Friday, we will be having a Blogging for Nature workshop so the homework shall be to blog for the environment on 15 October! What better way to culminate a workshop but to join in the rest of the world and the 7,000+ other blogs who have signed up for this.
Watch this video to learn how the organizers think Blogs will change the world!
Thanks to La Crispa who alerted me to this!

"From the moment that Christ is immersed in water, from that moment water washes away all sins." - St. Augustine
"The Lord is baptised, not having occasion to be cleansed, but that, purifying the waters by the contact of His pure flesh, they may have the power of cleansing." – St. Augustine
"The water of baptism, had it not been sanctified by contact with the body of our Lord, could not purge the sins of believers." – St. John Chrysostom
At His birth, the Mother of Our Lord, the Blessed Virgin Mary, would no doubt have exclaimed "This is my beloved Son!" What did the Father of Our Lord proclaim at His Baptism? "This is my beloved Son"!

Bodycon Dresses Meaning Just like any type of clothes not all bodycons are the same, select wrongly and it can be the most severe dress you will ever put on. A bodycon dress is actually amazing at pulling the most crucial areas of your body in or more; your boobs and your ass, making them look more pert and attractive.
Bodycon Dresses Meaning On the other hand, you will find two areas that can allow the whole look down, a big belly and chubby hands, two important areas of the body you need to work out to pull from the dress. If you have maybe already been slacking on working out to obtain that summer body, after that imagining yourself in gorgeous celeb style bodycon garments should be a massive encouragement.

Re "George Deukmejian, California governor in a different era, dies at 89 in Long Beach" (May 8):
I had the privilege of serving with George Deukmejian when he was in the state Legislature, and supporting him when he ran and was elected. Attorney General and Gov. Deukmejian was a man of integrity, principal, a wonderful role model and great friend. Unlike many politicians, George was not plastic or artificial — he was devoted to his family, his Christian faith and proud of his Armenian heritage.
He had the opportunity to be considered for President George H.W. Bush's running mate in 1988 and had he accepted, the Bush-Deukmejian ticket could have defeated the Clinton-Gore ticket. He would have been a strong presidential contender in 1992. However, his priority was to return to his family and his home in Long Beach when his term as governor ended.

Trust politicians?
In 1864 (154 years ago), Congress authorized the use of the phrase "In God We Trust" on U.S. coins. It took 93 years (1957) for the phrase to also be printed on paper currency.
Of the many U.S. politicians elected to public office, how many do you actually trust? Those operating in Washington, D.C. are the least trustworthy! Whom do I trust in politics? Most, but not all that I vote for at elections. Too many politicians I have shaken hands with usually require a quick counting of my fingers.
— Robert O. Cook, Pasadena
Desalination is too costly
Re "Poseidon desalination plant" (May 1):
Thank you for the thorough article about the Poseidon desalination plant. I believe that the costs in terms of the environment and dollars are too great and we have other options available to us at this time.
Desalination might make more sense after we thoroughly exhaust other options such as recycling. In any case the drought conditions that lead us to exploring these options is driven by climate change. And that could be solved if only our Congress would pass the one best, market-driven solution to climate change: the carbon fee and dividend plan, which is supported by major energy companies and Republican leaders outside Congress.
It's time. Let's get this done.

You, waiting to travel……" Those long queues awaiting at Passenger reservation centres, one among the many struggles kids won't know these days. Technological transitions made Travel ticket reservation just a few mouse clicks away and now just a few screen taps and Voila "Travel awaits you". Technology being a dynamic phenomenon, has paved for the next generation eTicketing system The "TRAVEL BOTS".
What's a TRAVEL BOT??
A Travel Bot is basically a computer program intended to simulate an intelligent conversation with one or more human users by means of textual or aural approaches merely for the purpose of Travel. Most Travel bots today exploit instant messaging as the application interface and mimic human chat exchanges. The key technique of operation of these Travel bots encompass the recognition of cue words or phrases that the user types in and responds with pre-programmed replies that can move the chat forward in a deceptively eloquent manner. To be precise, in reality the present-day Travel bots aren't Artificially Intelligent instead they are just a different user interface built as a messaging thread.
Travel Bots can be categorized into the following
A very common type of travel bot is the customer care bot that is embedded into a travel booking website. These bots are rather obsolete. They are a long way from keen and may summon a similar sort of fierceness that you get when you are on the telephone with a robotized client benefit framework for 60 minutes and you just need to converse with a person. All these travel bots work in analogous ways. They are for the most part restricted in their capacity to help a client book travel. However they can help clients explore an organization's website productively and also answer some basic queries.
These travel bots are by and large for travel search organizations, for example, Skyscanner and Expedia, and these chat bots are somewhat more quick witted, as in they really help you book travel through chat conversation as opposed to simply demonstrating to you where to go on a site to book.
Though these Travel Bots adopt similar instant messaging interface, they have more features integrated making them the smartest class of Travel bots.
Here are a list of cool Travel bots to checkout and eventually to check-in:

Present day Travel bots are stepping stones to the next level travel.

Dave HodgesMore About: Education: Government Schools
Arizona Education: Last and Falling Like a Rock (Part 1)
An economy in freefall and a severely contracting job market have placed the collective futures of our young people in dire jeopardy. However, the greatest immediate threat facing our children's economic security comes directly as a result of the actions of the Arizona State Legislature and not from the economy in general.
Apparently, the State Legislature feels that our children should be just smart enough to do their menial labor service job and no smarter. Intentional or not, the recently passed state budget has just been balanced on the educational backs and at the expense of Arizona's youngest citizens.
America is dead last in the educational performance of its school children when compared to its post-industrial counterparts. Arizona is the worst state in the country in terms of graduation rates, spending per pupil and the amount of children which go on to obtain college degrees. In other words, Arizona is the worst of the worst when it comes to education. The Arizona Legislature seems intent on cementing our hold on last place.
I often wonder what goes through the mind of a state legislator when they are confronted with the reality that our education system is the most under funded and underperforming state-wide system in the country. There is no question that Arizona schools are miserably failing to meet the demands of the kids. Approximately 30% of the students drop out, 20% of the students are being prepared for vocations, and another 20% go to college, while the rest of the "educationally neglected youths" received no specific training and are cast adrift in sea of what can best be described as "12 years of futility" until they are socially promoted to the graduation stand.
Arizona has already witnessed thousands of teacher and support staff layoffs, the elimination of valuable educational programs, and the looming disaster of extremely large class sizes this fall. We desperately need to change Arizona's priorities by calling a halt to the corporate tax giveaways and we need to invest in Arizona's future by ensuring adequate funding for education. Unfortunately, both the Republican and Democratic leadership in the legislature have a different approach to dealing with our economic challenges which includes previously unimaginable and unprecedented cuts to education. In January of 2009, the Republican leadership pushed through the largest single statewide public education budget cut in Arizona's history. Sadly, Arizona's children have not felt the worst as the budget deficit in fiscal 2010 is expected to triple. With the present anti-educational legislative mindset, Arizona's children, in 2011, will be lucky to attend schools which have running water and flushing toilets in Arizona's new version of education by candlelight.
When your children return to school this fall, they will be met by grossly underpaid and overworked teachers attempting to adjust salary cuts, a grossly under supplied classroom and unprecedented class sizes in which they will be lucky if their teacher learns their first name by the end of the semester.
Arizona's educators used to say "Thank God for Mississippi because Arizona's children still outperformed the often beleaguered southern state. Today, in a strange twist of fate, Mississippi now says "Thank God for Arizona."

Urban and Regional Economics
Urban and Regional Economics research at Erasmus UPT focuses on four main research themes:
- Innovation and Clustering
- Real Estate and Area Development
- Place Marketing and Branding
- Economics of Tourism and Events
Our experts in urban and regional economics share an interest in the development of regions, cities and urban areas. They translate academic knowledge into practical advice for public and private actors working in the field, e.g. at municipalities, provinces, project developers and housing corporations.
Apart from contract research for (local) governments and businesses, they also participate in European (research) programmes such as Urbact, ESPON and the 7th framework programme, and international comparative research projects of the European Institute for Comparative Urban Research (Euricur).

Lindsay Lohan's representative: 'Gotti is a no-go'
The Mean Girls star was in talks to play John Gotti's wife Kim in the biopic, opposite John Travolta, but negotiations broke down last year (11) and Lohan pulled out of the project completely.
Gotti producer Marc Fiore released a statement on Thursday (07Jun12), suggesting he was still keen on landing Lohan for his film, which starts shooting later this year (12).
He wrote, "Lindsay does not have a contract. But right now, we're not in the phase of doing casting. I still have every intention of speaking to Lindsay about the role of Kim Gotti. There's no truth to Lindsay being out of the film."
But her rep Steve Honig begs to differ.
He states, "I can confirm that Lindsay has not signed on to be a part of the John Gotti movie, nor is she in talks to join the cast. It does not look like an agreement can be made. Lindsay's representatives and film producers were unable to come to an agreement."
He adds, "Lindsay has the utmost respect for (director) Barry Levinson and the producers and hopes to work with them in the future and wishes them all the best."
Lohan is currently portraying Elizabeth Taylor in TV biopic Liz & Dick, about the late movie icon's turbulent romance with Welsh acting great Richard Burton.

Causes of the Loss of Biodiversity
Biodiversity is a compound term.It includes all species of plants and animals.Not only this,the variety found among different species is also included in it.Briefly,we may say that variety of lifeforms in any part or region or the earth as a whole is called biodiversity.It is a combination of two words:Bio meaning 'life' and diversity meaning 'variety'.
With the increase in human population,there has been corresponding increase in demand for food,clothing and shelter.To meet this demand,man makes use of forest lands and they are consequently reduced in area.The habitats of wildlife are lost with the loss of forests .As a result,many of the lifeforms have become endangered and some have also become extinct.At the global level ,the loss of biodiversity is heart rending.More than 4000 lifeforms are put in danger or are becoming extinct every year.
The causes of the loss of biodiversity are many but some chief ones are deforestation,intensive grazing,mining,agriculture,urbanisation and development plans such as dams,industries,roads etc through forests,construction sites on forest land and other projects.These have also caused loss of habitats of wild animals.In addition to these,illegal hunting and poaching has caused enormous loss of biodiversity.We can understand this better by explaining the causes of loss under the following heads:
- Changes in habitats:The chief cause is loss of habitats.The man has illegally usurped the forestlands,grasslands and other natural habitats of wild animals and used these for variety of purposes to meet his needs of agriculture ,industry,construction of roads and railways etc.This has considerably reduced the number of original plants and animals found in these areas.There is break in food chain and consequent loss of wild animals.Man uses certain parts of natural habitats for other uses but it causes disruption of the entire ecosystem.There are obstacles in the movement of wild animals to obtain their food and thus obstructions in the food chain.Gradually with the loss of food chain,the wild animals also began to disappear.Man also uses plants and certain useful trees like teak,sal etc.This causes fragmentation of the original ecosystem and consequently the habitats are lost.
- Rise in Population: There has been a rapid rise in human population .To meet the needs of growing population,man resorts to deforestation and destruction of forests and grasslands.The entire ecosystems are thus destroyed consequently leading to loss of plants and animals.So far about two thirds of natural habitats in Africa and Asia have been destroyed as a result of rapid increase in the population.
- Pollution:Pollution especially water pollution is extremely dangerous to wildlife.In the Bay of Mexico,over 20,000 sq km area has become the death trap of wildlife due to pollution of sediments brought by Mississippi river.At this particular place,no lifeform is found.Some scientists think that Global Warming is the main cause of loss of biodiversity.Pollution has begun since the dawn of Industrial Revolution.It is greatest in developed countries and from them it has been copied by the developing nations as well.
- Exotic Species:When a plant or animal species is introduced in a foreign land without consideration of ecology,it cannot grow with the same vitality under new conditions and generally withers away.But sometimes these exotic species are so strong that they dominate the endemic plants and animals.For ex-the water hyacinth has created problems for many nations.Similarly,many plants and animals brought from islands or other nations have threatened the endemic plants and animals growing at many places.
- Over Exploitation:Unnatural morbidity has caused extinction of many plants and animals like whales.The population of wild animals can remain stable only when there is balance in their rate of reproduction and the rate at which they are caught.If the rate at which they are caught exceeds the rate of their reproduction,the number of population of these animals is bound to be considerably reduced.On account of high morbidity and many superstitions ,many of the animals are killed and their parts are used in the manufacture of medicines.This encourages illegal hunting and trading of rare animals.As a result of this,many animals have become endangered species.

Yeddyurappa faces prosecution for graft, refuses to quit (Intro-Roundup)July 28th, 2011 - 1:24 am ICT by IANS
Bangalore/New Delhi, July 27 (IANS) Karnataka ombudsman N. Santosh Hegde Wednesday recommended the prosecution of Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa for a multi-crore illegal mining in the state along with four ministers, plunging the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in crisis. A defiant Yeddyurappa ruled out resigning.
Yeddyurappa, 68, the BJP's first chief minister in south India, arrived in Delhi Wednesday night to consult party leaders. The Congress went on the offensive, demanding that the chief minister should quit.
"I have recommended prosecution of everybody, including the chief minister, four cabinet ministers, a former chief minister, one Rajya Sabha MP and one MLA and hundreds of officials under the Prevention of Corruption Act for their involvement (in the mining scam)," former Supreme Court judge Hegde told reporters here.
A voluminous report submitted by him found that the exchequer lost a whopping Rs.16,085 crore (Rs.161 billion) due to illegal mining and export of iron ore from 2006 to 2010 in royalty, excise duty, value added tax and other levies.
The 25,228-page report also found Revenue Minister G. Karunakara Reddy, Tourism Minister G. Janaradhana Reddy, Health Minister B. Sriramulu and Housing Minister V. Somanna guilty of abetting illegal mining and export of thousands of tonnes of iron ore to China, Brazil and Southeast Asia.
"As Governor H.R. Bhardwaj is the only competent authority to order the prosecution of the chief minister under the Lokayukta Act, I have submitted the report and my recommendations for action," Hegde said after the report was submitted to state Chief Secretary S.V. Ranganath.
Former chief minister and Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy, who ordered the probe in March 2007 when he headed a coalition government with the BJP, was found guilty of granting mining leases to two companies in gross violation of the law.
The report also named Congress Rajya Sabha member Anil Lad and BJP legislator from Bellary, Narendra Babu, for their role in illegal mining.
About 100 mining firms and 787 officials, including those from the IAS, IPS and Indian Forest Service (IFS), were identified by name or designation for allowing illegal mining and export of iron ore for years.
The report found that the chief minister's family, including son B.Y. Raghvendra, a Lok Sabha member of BJP from Shimoga, 270 km from Bangalore, benefiting from the mining scam.
Investigations found that a leading mining firm - South West Mining Co, owned by the Mumbai-based Jindal Group, donated Rs.10 crore to an education trust, Prerana Trust, floated by the chief minister's family.
"The donation was made by the company by borrowing funds from others (after gaining benefits) in illegal mining (of) iron ore and exporting the material," Hegde said.
The chief minister's family was found guilty of selling an acre of land near Bangalore to the mining company for a whopping Rs.20 crore, when the state-run guidance value was Rs.1 crore.
Although some of the report's contents were known, Hegde's formal media briefing triggered a storm in Karnataka — and a crisis in the BJP, which wanted to use the state government as a gateway to southern India.
The BJP failed to come to the beleaguered chief minister's defence.
In New Delhi, BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said: "It will take some time to go through the voluminous report. After that we can take some decision."
However Yeddyurappa, who went into a huddle with legal experts and several of his ministerial and party colleagues at his residence in Bangalore after the report came, ruled out resigning.
"The question of resigning does not arise," he told media persons on his arrival in Delhi.
He said he was going to party president Nitin Gadkari's house to discuss the issue and would return to Bangalore Thursday. Party leaders Arun Jaitley and Rajnath Singh are also expected to be present at the meeting at Gadkari's house.
Before leaving Bangalore, he said the report "needs detailed study".
"Also, most of the cases referred to by Lokayukta are in court," he told reporters at the Bangalore airport before leaving for Delhi.
Hegde hoped that the Supreme Court, already hearing a public interest petition on illegal mining in the iron ore rich district of Bellary, would take his report seriously.
The Congress asked Yeddyurappa to go.
"Yeddyurappa is wasting time. If he and the BJP have any moral values, he should resign immediately," Congress general secretary B.K. Hariprasad said.
"The report is very clear. The Lokayukta has convincingly detailed the omissions and commissions of Yeddyurappa, who also holds the mining and several other ministers," Hariprasad said.
The Congress leader recalled that Yeddyurappa had said he would resign if an inquiry found him guilty.
Congress leader Shakeel Ahmed added: "Yeddyurappa is the most corrupt chief minister independent India has seen."
Hegde submitted his first report Dec 18, 2008 with recommendations to take action against all stakeholders involved in the scam. But the government did not act on the report.

The Hardest Working Ghost in the Business - Pet Ghost Project's CD Release Party!
Pet Ghost Project CD Release Party
Where: Fontana's
When: Friday, May 29, 2009 at 7:00pm
It's a pain-staking, birthing process to write, record, rehearse, produce and distribute an EP or an LP. To do one of each simultaneously is, at the very least, a daunting task. To have each be breathtaking, and breathtakingly different from one another, is, well, I'm not sure a word has been thought of for it. (Maybe by the end of this post, I'll have come up with one.)
But that's exactly what Justin Stivers has accomplished. My affinity for Justin and his Pet Ghost Project is no secret, as a musician, composer, and friend. Since the release of "Cheer Up ~ It's Raining" in the latter part of 2008, Justin has been quietly but furiously working away, going about his business of playing (with live ghosties Justin Gonzalez and Jake More,) composing, and crafting music that coerces the listener through new sonic boundaries, coming out the other side eyes a bit wider, ears a bit shell-shocked. His latest two efforts are, dare I say, his most adventurous and best yet. They are stunning movements each, "Idiot Brain, Genius Heart" an exploration into Justin's darker, more chaotic side, and "The Wordless Conversation" a 7-track instrumental LP where Stivers flexes his musical muscles, unraveling every reverberating fiber of his being.
So with that, I'm not sure there is anyone out there who deserves a party more than Justin and his crew. And they won't be alone. They'll have the support of friends of quiet Loudly and Dinosaur Feathers, two fantastic acts that round out a bill that promises to be a spectacular show. See you at Fontana's on Friday! (Oh, the best word I could come up with is "momentous.")
Listen: Pet Ghost Project - Death in a Pixel (from the forthcoming 'The Wordless Conversation')
Listen: Pet Ghost Project - Wires from the Ceiling (from the forthcoming 'Idiot Brain, Genius Heart')
Special Guests:
Listen: quiet Loudly - Over the Balcony
Listen: Dinosaur Feathers - History Lessons

Advanced Panels Protect the Eighth
Hagia Sofia in Istanbul, built almost
1,500 years ago and a landmark of
global impor tance is being protected
with an Advanced fire system. Built on the orders of Eastern Roman Emperor
Justinian in 537in what was then Constantinople, it
was the world' s largest cathedral and a cornerstone
of Christianity for nearly 1,000 years. It then became
the city' s most important mosque for almost 500
years and is now a world famous museum and a
crown jewel in the history and skyline of Istanbul.
As far back as the 6 Century it was called 'the
eighth wonder of the world' . It welcomes millions of
visitors every year and became T urkey' s most visited
tourist attraction in 2012. A recent upgrade to its fire system, installed
byAdvanced's partner , D Sistem, saw an
Advanced MxPro4 fire system installed,
supporting optical smoke and air sampling
detection, with a range of input and output
MxPro offers customers a choice of two panel
ranges, four detector protocols and a completely
open installer network that enjoys free complete
training and support. MxPro panels can be used
in single loop, single panel format or easily
configured into high speed, multi-loop panels in
200 node networks covering huge areas.
Advanced's legendary ease of installation and
configuration and wide peripheral range make it
customisable to almost any application.
MxPro 4 is Advanced's benchmark panel and is
EN54 2 & 4 approved, offering users high quality
and performance and the knowledge that its fire
system can be easily upgraded in future. Its
partner Advanced'sMxPro 5 is EN54 2,4 &13
approved and is backward compatible with the
MxPro 4.
GerdaKoberidze�zkan, spokesperson for D
Sistem Ltd said �The improvements to this
historic building have involved bringing the fire
detection system up to date, ensuring that the
building has the best quality fire alarm systemand
meets the highest standards in fire safety. We
have used Advanced panels for several projects
in the past as they are highly reliable, adaptable
and can be upgraded in the future.�
Etienne Ricoux, Advanced's Export Sales
Manager for Europe, commented: �The Hagia
Sofia is the latestlandmark building to be
protected byAdvancedpanels. It's probably the
oldest building we've ever protected and
beautifully illustrates the power and quality of
Advanced's fire systems. On the one hand we
protect one of Europe's oldest landmarks and the
other its current tallest building, The Shard in
�We believe that MxPro ticks all the boxes,
combining proven reliability with innovation and
ease-of-use. It also delivers a future-proof
solution, with the capability to be easily upgraded
and supplemented in future.�

That's right, yours truly finally scored my first goal since I arrived in Europe. We played Enkoping IS, another (the only other?) club in the town. I was the only player to start both of the first games to play today, but it worked out well for me. I played very well and was probably the player of the game. We won 3-1. In addition to my goal I also got an assist and should have had two more. If the other starting attackers were playing then we would have won 8-0.
My goal was a rebound. We crossed the ball in and got a strong header. The goalie made a good save, but the rebound spilled to me and I finished it. I was happy with my performance, but the game itself was terrible. We dominated but just didn't have the composure to create great chances. We didn't pass enough to open up the defense so we ended up just banging our head against a wall. Even though we won, by the end of the game all of our players were incredibly frustrated. This picture was posted on the team's website. The other guy is another American named Tim Ritter. He scored 35 goals last year in the 5th tier and he's definitely good enough to play for Enkoping and be a big part of the team. Hopefully they sign him.
Moving on from the game, the coach and I had earlier planned to talk about a contract today but he's sick now so the talk didn't happen. Maybe we can figure it out tomorrow. The wages being thrown around at the moment aren't amazing, but they are definitely good by my standards. I've heard through the grapevine that in Sweden there is a minimum salary for foreign players of 15,000 kronor per month, which is about $2100. If that's true, then I'll happily accept any contract they offer. I've said it many times, but I'm not playing for the money (not yet) but instead the opportunity. I want to make lots of money, but I've got to start somewhere. The first stop doesn't have to pay great as long as the rest of the stops do.
I'm sorry, but I have to now go on a rant about one of the trialists here with me. His name is Eric and he is an absolute nightmare. First, he arrived here with no money whatsoever. Not just no Swedish money, but no money at all. That means that I've had to pay for everything for him. Groceries, a sim card and minutes for his phone and as of tonight a 6-pack of beers. I don't really mind paying for someone, but he hasn't said thank you even once. In fact, as I type this sentence he's come into my room and opened up my bag of candy and helped himself. He didn't say one word to me, just walked in and took some candy and walked out. Are you kidding me? Who does something like that? I'll stop ranting because there's no reason to dwell on it. I am 100% sure though that he will never pay me any money back.
Ok I said I wouldn't dwell on it but I lied. I have to mention this. Eric has been wearing my coat, gloves, hat and scarf because he's cold. That means that I have no gloves, scarf and a not-so-heavy jacket. Also, Eric has nothing to entertain himself. No books, Ipad, laptop or anything. So he just comes into my room without knocking and sits on the bed and just watches whatever I'm watching on my laptop. He is bothering me about going to a bar, but I don't want to, mostly because I know that I'll have to pay for everything. There's nothing fun about supporting an adult man that you can't stand to be around. Now I'm done.
Enkoping SK has the next two days off and then on Tuesday they leave for Turkey for training camp. The coach wants me to go, but it will depend on if they can convince the travel company to give them favorable rates since I'm such a last-minute addition. If I go that's awesome, but if not I guess I will just take a vacation somewhere. I'll have to see what the cheapest flights out of Stockholm are and then visit there. Or maybe I'll take a train to Denmark. It's possible I could train with an Allsvenskan or Superettan team during the week just to stay in shape, but that's up to the Swedish agent to find it if I'm not going to Turkey.

Increased regulatory scrutiny over the borrowings of China's most prolific overseas deal makers weighed on mainland markets Friday, as trading elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific region was lackluster.
The Shanghai Composite Index pared earlier losses but was recently down 0.2%, following news that the nation's banking regulator ordered banks to check the borrowings of major Chinese conglomerates like Anbang Insurance Group and Dalian Wanda Group.
Continue Reading Below
The move, which sent shares of the companies' listed units tumbling late Thursday, hurt investor sentiment due to concerns about tighter regulations across China's financial markets at a time of volatile trading, analysts say.
The action was also a reminder of the outsize influence of the government on stock markets, said Dong Yul Lim, a senior sales trader at CMC Markets in Singapore. "It is just the beginning, a sign that any move by the Chinese government can affect the markets."
Those fears had eased somewhat earlier in the week, in the wake of MSCI's decision to include China's domestically-traded A-shares in its emerging markets index next year, said Mr. Lim.
Elsewhere, Japan's Nikkei Stock Average was flat, while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 was slightly lower, and Singapore's Straits Times Index was off 0.2%.
In South Korea, shares outperformed after the country's president, Moon Jae-in, said he would lobby China to lift its restrictions against his country's businesses following the installation of an U.S. antimissile defense system in Korea, which angered Beijing.
The installation of the controversial U.S. missile-defense system prompted Beijing to target South Korean firms and stop tours of high-spending Chinese visitors.
The benchmark Kospi index was up 0.1% after gaining as much as 0.5% earlier.
Shares of major Korean firms with China exposure were markedly higher, with Hyundai Motor rising 1.9% and cosmetics giant Amorepacific rising 2.8%. Korean Air Lines and Asiana Airlines were each up about 0.8%.
In Japan, shares were flat despite a strong open, following a preliminary survey released Friday showing that the nation's manufacturing activity slowed in June as new orders grew at their slowest pace in seven months.
"Though the [purchasing managers index] fell rather sharply in June, it still points to a robust expansion in industrial output," said Marcel Thieliant, a senior Japan economist at Capital Economics.
Among key stocks in Japan, videogame maker Nintendo was up 2.3%, while auto makers Mazda Motor, Honda Motor and Nissan Motor added more than 0.5% each.

I know. I know. Summer has been over for a few weeks now. School is back in session. Yada. Yada. I just thought I'd let you all in on one of our new favorite summer traditions: camping at Banks Lake. I can call it a tradition because we've now done it two years in a row and already have it on our calendar for next year. It's one of those experiences that only takes participating in once & then you and your children are hooked and can't imagine missing it. We've been participating now for 2 years, although unfortunately, we had to pass up the opportunity for 5 years previous. Our good friends, the Jones family (I have known them since I was a teenager), have been going on this trip with their family for 20 years. Most of the families that go on this trip, also have some deep-rooted connection to the Jones, either by familial tie or close-knit friendship. If you've never been, plan a trip. The setting is gorgeous, and there is so much to do with the lake right on the edge of camp. Our children live in their bathing suits happily playing in the sand & water, fishing, digging, canoeing, skiing, boating and eating S'mores to their hearts delight. As a mother, it is the perfect summer get-away, where the kids can get dirty, stay up late & run around as much as they want. As much fun as the kids have, the fun for adults is equally matched. We stay up late chatting, telling stories & jokes, playing games & scaring the pants off each other. It's the best!

It was so ironic since I grew up with Ricker's brother's family...which was eventually just Ricker's ex-sister-in-law's family (I mean, his brother was still the dad, but wasn't in our ward anymore). So Banks is super nostalgic for me, we were a family of seven with no boat, so we never went as a family, but I was always invited by friends and had such fun there. It was funny, my friend from growing up, Sarah, then, Sarah Jones, was there at the same time as you all this year. Random!

Why do we seem to "fall apart" when we discover our multiplicity?
Many multiple systems go about their daily lives covering up for each other without even knowing that they're a system. This can go on for decades. So what is it that happens that makes this idyllic period of "ignorance is bliss" end, and why does it sometimes feel like one is "spiraling downwards" the more one learns about one's system?
There may be many reasons that multiples become less able to be "functional" when they discover their multiplicity. Here are some known factors and ideas:
New Trauma or Retraumatization
Sometimes it's as simple to explain as having been retraumatized, and that's what revealed the underlying system. Now there are all these previously unknown people in the system to deal with as well as this new trauma.
PTSD can be triggered which means you can end up with all the PTSD symptoms due to pretty normal everyday things.
One example of a common enough trigger is when a traumatized person's own child reaches an age they experienced trauma at — the fear that their child may have similar trauma, seeing their child being the age they were (and possibly appearing similarly to themself at that age) can be a trigger, or going through their child's milestones that they had troubles or struggles with can be a trigger. Even just the fear of being a bad parent or sounding like one's own parents can be a trigger — parents often have the "Oh my! I've become my mother!" moment.
Anything innocuous can also be a trigger. For The Crisses a trigger is the smell of coffee brewing — and the trigger/anxiety escalates if it's brewing daily.
Distrust Meltdown
A front/"host" has just bumped into "Stowaways" in their system, and they don't know who is who or who to trust. Pushing them away, excluding them from life decisions, hating them, repressing them, etc. are generally dangerous — these are real people with real feelings, and this is their life, too.
There's an underlying misconception here, most of the time, because they're not really new at all. They've really been there all along. But sensing each other's distrust or being pushed aside or held back can be a panic trigger, and cause all types of misbehavior and maladaptive behavior within the system. This triggering of each other within the system can lead to a downward spiral — a closed feedback loop descent into panic within the system.
If you suspect this for your system, please run don't walk to our System Trust Issues podcast episodes starting with Episode 009 New. The sooner someone breaks this feedback loop within your system, the sooner you can repair your relationships and work together.
Internal Chaos/Lack of Role-Models for Functional Multiplicity
Multiples don't have an built-in owners manual and no role models for internal community. Well, we do but we haven't figured out that they're everywhere.
Role models? Any group that gets along in a respectful, compassionate, thoughtful manner will do. Group at a non-profit, the library, a business, etc.
But many of us don't have great examples of good external communities to model our internal community after either… :/ We Crisses like to think of a Star Trek spaceship crew as our "model" for pretty good group interaction.
PTSD — stealthy and trisky like hobbitses!
Then there's the PTSD. PTSD has some stealth built in. It doesn't happen immediately after trauma. It kinda "cooks in" — when the brain realizes that a trauma hasn't been processed into long-term memory, or when something triggers a reminder of the trauma that was never "put away" in long-term memory in the first place, the brain tries to make it surface so you can "take care of it" — but it becomes a feedback loop rather than getting it processed it just keeps coming back up (intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, insomnia, etc.) until something breaks the cycle.
The Need to Walk in Their Shoes
We, the Crisses, are currently working with a theory. We'll state the hypothesis first, then the breakdown/explanation of what we're thinking.
In order for stuck residents New (or "stowaways") to front and process the Here & Now New, our body needs to (somewhat) match the vibration/intensity of their stuck trauma and/or the current "state" of the system or front needs to get close enough to their personal "state" in their stuckness to allow them to surface. Then they can become more coconscious and co-aware in order to "wake up" to the Here & Now.
Not an easy one to describe...
This article is a Stub requiring text description of diagram for visually impaired people.
When we are "functional" we're living at least in the middle to right of this diagram, probably not far from "Peace" or perhaps even all the way into "Passion" somewhere.
However, our stuck parts are living on the left, or far left, stuck in the Panic end of the diagram.
When we find out we're multiple, our personal perspectives are shaken, and certainly we will falter or maybe even slip to the "panic" side of the diagram — leaking emotions from others that we may now sense who are deeper on the panic side of things may drag us further left as well.
In order to rescue people from the left side of this diagram, and try to bring them closer to the center (you can't just hop from one side to the other), we suspect that they either have to be able to migrate there — on their own over time or with whatever inspiration — or the people interacting with them have to be able to "get close enough" to their frequency to be perceived, and for some type of communication to occur. Those on the far left, stuck in PTSD feedback loops are unable to perceive reality and the Here & Now.
Hell Team & the Rescue Mission
by the Crisses
This idea came to us (The Crisses) from finally digesting the most troubling concept in the book/movie What Dreams May Come by Richard Matheson (SPOILER ALERT! sorry — this is the climax of the film, but it does not ruin the film):
The scene is 2 people:
Annie lost everything she cared about in her life — her children, then her husband Chris — and took her own life. Now Annie is dissociated trapped in her PTSD prison in the afterlife — locked inside her personal version of "Hell" and unable to be in touch with anything that doesn't fit in her warped perspective. The other, Chris — the person speaking — is her soulmate and has come via a long journey into her nightmare to find her. He cannot be happy without her.
Then Chris fully mentally joins Annie in Hell — leaving the Here & Now to submerse himself in a dissociative PTSD prison "with her" but unable to see her for who she is. His ability to fully join her wakes her up to rescue him.
This scene is so poignant, so real — we Crisses left the movie theater reeling, crying, and angry in a way, and amazed — because they had hit on a truth it would take us 20 years to digest. We read the book. We owned 2 copies of the DVD. We watched it over and over again. It took us a long time to really fully digest it.
We can't rescue our lost inner children while fully anchored and blissfully present in the Here & Now. All the people in our system who "held it together" when those children "fell apart" abandoned them in a version of "Hell" and let them sit with the pain of the trauma, while the rest of us "moved on" with life. We pushed away the pain and the trauma so hard we created their prison. We enjoyed our life while they were frozen in theirs.
For a while we issued open invitations. We tried to reach out to them but in their pain they couldn't be reached in our headspace. They're trapped inside themselves somewhere, somehow — or in time/space in the shamanic realms, or in a personal Hell if you will. Everything we have tried just hurts them. We decided for a long while that they had chosen to protect us from these things, and we were grateful, and we thought when they felt we were "ready enough" they would come out of whatever and join with us and be part of our happy head family.
Then we started having doubts. It had been more than 10 years of waiting, and they weren't budging. Maybe us "being ready for them" wasn't the problem.
To expect that they might suddenly be "inspired" to come forward, claw their way out of their hellish PTSD prison and share their pain all on their own is asking them to do the (nearly) impossible. So we are assembling a team we believe they can trust, people who never failed us — including one person who did claw their way out of their hellish PTSD prison as a journey guide — guardians, shamanic practitioners, healers, mothers, etc. And we're going to have this "Hell Team" go on a rescue mission to find these children, using What Dreams May Come and other sources as the "metaphor" for hell, the journey, the tools we're bringing, things we may leave with them if we can't rescue them, etc.
In the meantime, we totally expect our external life to get very rocky, maybe even fall apart — because you can't dive that deep into PTSD as a prison or Hell and not have system-wide repercussions. It may shake us to our very foundations. But those children can't be left fully alone down there to suffer any longer. It's really bugging us that we've left them there this long, but we can't change what we've done (or not done) in the past. We can and will change what we do now.
Parallels in other disciplines
This journey very closely resembles "Soul Retrieval" — a shamanic concept where the trusted shaman journeys to find lost soul parts that (by way of conferring with spirit guides) are ready to return back to the "patient's" body (Here & Now) and convince them that it's safe to return. It's an intervention that leaves the "patient" (for want of a better word) able to remain anchored without having to descend into the lost parts' Hell and lose functionality. The shaman who is skilled at Soul Retrieval is usually someone who has already been to their own personal hell, and is versed in navigating the other worlds, and receives additional wisdom and training to walk this risky path. Also, they specifically seek out parts that are "ready" where we are fully aware that these children may not be ready — and are prepared to journey back without them, and are considering carefully what gifts or tools we might be able to leave there for them if they aren't coming back.
The Journey Itself
We did the Hell Mission, we did about a dozen video logs — they're behind our Patreon paywall for personal safety reasons. It went much better than we could have imagined.
We're not sure whether we had to vibe with the kids, or if the kids were exerting passive influence i.e. leaking their anxieties to the rest of us to basically kick our butt and get our attention. So perhaps our theory was wrong. Once we finished planning and were going to embark on our journey, we were strangely peaceful and well-prepared. A little apprehensive — maybe tentatively excited even. Which is a difficult emotion for us to hold safely. But we were much less anxious or frightened when it came to the doing it.
Our therapist suggested — and we always have to consider that it may have really been interpreted by our system in a post-hynotic suggestion fashion which bugs us but was positive if that's the case here — that we didn't have to be in the same space/vibe in order to do this work.
Another way of looking at it, perhaps, is that in journeying to their Hell(s), we brought a protective bubble of our Peace with us to them. Which makes a lot of sense in both a shamanic journey way (brought protectors and spirit animals) and in a psychic self-defense manner — and thus were "shielded" from the immense pain that was possible to experience when we went there.
It went very very well.

Ed Sheeran Fools Fans With Lion Tattoo - Is It Real?!
Earlier this month, Ed Sheeran posted a photo of a brand new HUGE lion tattoo on his chest…or so we thought!
The 24-year-old entertainer updated his Instagram account on Wednesday (August 26) with a selfie of his chest and it was completely bare – no lion!
"Was only joking about the lion" Ed captioned the photo.
Check out the original photo that Ed posted when he originally said he had a new tattoo. Now we're wondering, what exactly was that lion tattoo for, if anything?
UPDATE: Ed confirms that the tat is real!
"Only joking, covered it up for a TV show didn't I," he captioned a new pic. See his photo below!

In Canada to discuss Toxic Fat, Dr. Sears said, "Being overweight isn't due to a lack of willpower; the problem lies in your genes. When you understand obesity from the perspective of being similar to a cancer, you realize why 'eating less and exercising more' may never work for permanent weight loss."
Dr. Sears' first book, The Zone, was a breakthrough international hit and was #1 on the New York Times Bestsellers List. His second book Toxic Fat describes the Perfect Nutritional Storm that has given rise to a current obesity epidemic. Our pro-inflammatory diet has caused activation of a fat-trap in genetically predisposed individuals and increases hunger by changing brain hormone levels that override normal appetite suppression," he said.
A research scientist, Dr. Sears said, "The toxic fat in our bodies is the underlying cause of increased inflammation and a dietary balance of protein, carbohydrate and fat can alter the hormonal responses that control inflammation."
"Losing weight and keeping it off requires rebalancing of hormonal signals in the brain. We need to look at foods we eat as powerful drugs that can either reduce or increase inflammation. Reducing inflammation can be as simple as 1-2-3. For every one gram of fat, you should eat two grams of protein and three grams of carbohydrates as best you can at every meal."

This paper presents an easy-to-approach mathematical model for planar type solid oxide fuel cells. It is developed to be used as a tool for students in fuel cell class to conduct parametric studies in order to grasp fundamentals and to understand the effects of mass transfer, electrochemical reaction, and current conduction on the voltage-current relationship in a fuel cell at different operating conditions. Using the model, the three over-potentials caused by different polarizations in a planar type solid oxide fuel cell can be identified and compared. The analysis for the mass transfer polarization is based on average mass transfer model analogous to an average heat transfer process in a duct flow. The effect of species' partial pressures on the exchange current density in activation polarization is counted in the activation polarization model. A discretized current conduction circuit is applied to analyze the ohmic losses from anode current collector to cathode current collector. The model is of significance to the design and optimization of solid oxide fuel cells in industrial application.

Title: Blood Men
Publication: 2013/New York, Atria Paperback
ISBN #: 978-1-4767-1087-7# of pages: 329
Discovered at Sleuth of Baker Street
Read in paper format
Also available in e-book format
Link to author's website: Paul Cleave
Have you ever said something and then immediately wished you could take your words back? Edward Hunter wishes that more than most of us ever could. A good pre-Christmas day has turned very ugly and the next seven days will only get worse. Edward thought growing up as the son of an imprisoned serial killer was bad enough. Is he now about to become his father reincarnate?
It is difficult to say more about the plot without giving away any twists...which start immediately. It seems like every other chapter has an ending that you don't see coming, right up to the last one. I'm not usually fond of books written in the present tense but the author manages to avoid the jarring tone that approach often seems to have. Reading this so soon after Christmas made the setting even stronger. If you see the serial killer reference and feel you don't want to read "Blood Men", please ignore that feeling! If you like the roller coaster ride of a thriller, this is the book for you. I couldn't put it down.
Rating: (°o°)! Stayed awake all night to find out what happened!
Notable sentence: "It makes Schroder sick to know that on any given day your entire future can change."
Wanting to be a writer since primary school, Cleave started some novels in his late teens. A resident of Christchurch, New Zealand, he worked as a pawnbroker and renovated properties, then fifteen years ago, decided to focus on writing. According to his website, "...the (first) three books have an overlapping timeline, so some characters from one will appear in the other, and actions of one character will create problems for the other characters in other books." According to Fantastic Fiction, "...The Cleaner and Cemetery Lake both end on the exact same day. His fourth book picks up exactly where those two books end." Yet they do not need to be read in sequence. To date, Cleave has written seven books. I can't wait to read the rest.

Rocio-isms 20
Posted May 23, 2011on:
- In: Kid Stuff
- 2 Comments
I'm learning that kids know much more than we think they do. I can describe it – well, at least this incident – only as a sad mommy moment. I know, I know, it's ironic coming from someone who couldn't wait to grow up and did so quite quickly if not physically.
Anyway, your mom bought Rocio this pen that lights up when you use it. The bottom half of the pen which is see-through says "#1 Kid". So when you turn the pen around, you see the words backwards. The other day, she comes in the room to wake me up and this is the first conversation of my day.
Rocio: Mom, what is d-i-k?
Lala: (opens one eye, sees the pen) It's just kid spelled backwards.
Rocio: But what does it say?
Lala: Well, kid spelled backwards is probably… dik.
Rocio: Oh… (softly) You mean like a man's private parts? So it's like a bad word, right?
Lala: (thought bubble): Punyeta! How the hell could she know that?!
(speaks feigning non-chanlance): Yes… dik is a bad word so please don't say it. How did you find out what it means?
Rocio: Umm… I don't remember…
Lala: It's OK – I'm not mad. I'm just curious about where you heard it – from a movie maybe?
Rocio: No… it was a long time ago Mom… Yeah, I think someone said it when I was in kingergarten.

Alfonse Pagano turned to wedding photography in 1993. One of the originators of non-traditional, spontaneous, candid wedding portraiture--he strives to keep his work grounded in its artistic quality. His work has been featured in magazines such as New York, SPOSA, The Knot, and Manhattan Bride.
An 8-hour coverage of your wedding day starts with the bride and/or groom getting ready till the cake cutting. Eighty-five percent of the day is documented in a photo-journalistic manner and the remaining fifteen percent reserved for formal portraits. Well-known for his untraditional style in his portrait session, Alfonse's approach is to get the most natural and relaxed feel to catch that fashion and editorial look.
All Packages Include:
a second photographer
on-line proofing (paper proofs available at an additional price)
digital files/negatives
Alfonse Pagano's background has its roots in fine art. A recipient of several grants including the New York State Foundation of the Arts, his mixed media and oil works were exhibited at the Carnegie Mellon Museum of Art and the Laguna Gloria Museum of Art. In 1994, after a distinguished career as a painter he turned to photography as an art form. Following an inspired idea he embarked on a project that took him around the world. The result was a collaborative compilation of images and interviews of people from all walks of life delivering a personal philosophy behind their dreadlocks. In 1999 the photo-documentary book DREADS was published by Artisan/Workman. Currently in its sixth printing, DREADS has earned both national and international acclaim with exhibits at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, University of Maryland, Paterson Museum, Stevens Institute and a subject featured on NPR.
Alfonse has photographed weddings in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Bahamas, and Europe. Listed below are venues he has worked at in the tri-state area.
