Competitive Broadband
Studies are supportive of the economic development and educational benefits of broadband, and can be compared to the rural electrification efforts of decades ago. Comparisons are sometimes made of competitive broadband between the urban "haves" and the rural "have nots." As worthy a subject as that is and as laudable the efforts of our state legislators, that's not the focus of this item.
For even among urban, metro areas, the debate of which community has "true" broadband and "what is broadband speed" has been debated and is the subject of Congressional efforts reported earlier in this blog.
What is the focus of this blog is the truly unique competitive position the greater Tacoma metro enjoys with competitive broadband. Not in the sense of being competitive with other cities nor even with other downtowns. Many communities will brag of having competitive broadband for their communities when what they really have is a single service provider in a sharply defined downtown district.
Tacoma has city-wide, even utility service district-wide, competitive (with three separate providers) throughout the entire defined city and extending into the larger metro area. As good as any of the providers are - laying aside the preferences and experiences that individual users might have - Tacoma is a community that can brag about Click! Network, Comcast and Qwest, when others are pleased to brag about having only one of these providers, further limited to a small area.
Most Wired City? Are there any others to compare?

Mind-Crafted in Washington State
- For the 3rd consecutive year, Washington's high-tech industry added jobs, up to 6,300 each for a new total of 162,800 in 2006 (most recent states' nationally comparative data);
- Plus, venture capital investments in the state were up 27% - over $1.3 billion in 2007;
- The report ranks Washington 1st in the Country for software publishers.
Two forthcoming reports from Aea are An Overview of the Nation's Top 60 Cities and A State-by-State Overview of High-Tech International Trade.
Cyberwarfare Key Part of Tacoma Forum
The one-day forum at the Tacoma Convention Center is open to the public. Events will begin at 12:30 p.m. and end around 8 p.m. Cost is $50, if paid in advance, and includes admission to an expo reception co-hosted by SpecOps West, a trade show going on at the convention center June 3-5. Forum registration information is available.
"Cyber warfare is the inevitable result of the world's advance (some might say descent) into the Toffler's Third Wave or information age, as others depict our current environment," explained LTC Doug Adams, USA, Ret., at 571-332-7248.
"With the rise of mass communications, personal computing, and ever-increasing velocity of information around the globe have come concomitant attempts to attack both the process and the progress of globalization. Until recently, these attempts – some successful, some not – have mostly been conducted by individuals or small virtual cells of like-minded hackers. These were annoying, but not necessarily threatening.
"For the United States, however, this mindset changed after September 11, 2001, when investigation of the attacks' planning stages revealed the extensive use of the Internet by the perpetrators and their supporters. It has become clear with every attack and every attempt since that clear September morning that the Internet is not just a target for attack, but also a weapon to be used by those who would conduct old-fashioned kinetic attacks.
"Still, the level of conflict was being conducted by groups and what have become known as 'super-empowered individuals' (SEIs). Dangerously, that may be changing. For example, attempts in 2007 to attack the U.S. Department of Defense cyber infrastructure are believed to have been orchestrated by China."
Such developments have led to the creation by the U.S. Air Force of the first Cyber Command. (The other services also have plans for similar commands.) The Forum is fortunate to have Cyber Command Vice Commander, Brig. Gen. (s) Tony Buntyn, address these concerns and what the United States intends to do in the future to counter them.
"Although we might wish it were otherwise, the cyber battlefield exists and United States national security officials must conduct successful operations on that battlefield to ensure the continuation of free and open political, economic, and personal discourse," Adams said.

Smith Continues Support for Education Programs
Responding to concerns about educating the workforce voiced by technology leaders, Adam also made a request for funding for the following programs:
$1.7 billion for Career, Technical and Adult Education: The Administration's fiscal year 2009 budget proposes cutting all programs under the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act, which includes the Perkins Basic State Grants and TechPrep. They were funded at $1.27 billion in fiscal year 2008 and $1.7 billion would address rising costs and demand.
$250,000 for Laboratories for Aviation High School Project, Highline School District: Funding would purchase equipment to support the Aviation High School's innovative science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) curriculum.
$300,000 for Tacoma Community College Healthcare Clinical Simulation Lab Project. Funding to purchase and install high fidelity human patient simulators to equip the Tacoma Community College's (TCC) current clinical simulation lab. This will begin TCC's project to establish a functional interdisciplinary clinical simulation lab in the new 69,648 sq. ft. Health Careers Center for which construction is slated to begin July 2011.
$500,000 for University of Washington Biofuels Research & Development Infrastructure. Federal funding to support equipment and infrastructure upgrades at the Center for Biouels to expand their research capabilities and allow for development advances in biomass conversion.
Submitting projects for consideration by the leadership of the House Committee on Appropriations is the first step in a long process of securing federal funding – it does not indicate their approval by the House of Representatives.
"These projects will have a beneficial impact on the Ninth Congressional District. They provide quality services, create economic development and help address needs with government and private partnerships. I look forward to helping advance them through the budgetary process," Adam said.
Smith Supports Other Vital Federal Initiatives
Adam relayed his support for continued funding of other valuable programs in the Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies Subcommittee and the Energy and Water Subcommittee, including:
The National Science Foundation at $7.326 billion
The National Institute of Standards and Technology Construction Program at $99 million
Scientific and Technical Research at $535 million
The Technology and Innovation Program at $131.5 million
Industrial Technologies Program Account at $64.4 million
Federal Energy Management Program Account at $22 million
Distributed Energy Program at $60 million
Energy Information Administration at $120.6 million
Zero Net Energy Commercial Buildings Initiative at $20 million

I've put a fair share of mileage into Nintendo gaming over the years. NES, SNES, GameBoy, GameBoy Advance, GameCube… you get the picture. I actually went to an overnight line outside of a Target for the original Wii launch. Now that the Wii U has plenty of great games out and with the recent announcement that Nintendo's next console, the NX, will be both a home console and a portable, I figured now was as good a time as any to buy a Wii U.
So, how does it compare to the Wii? How does the tablet controller work? Let's find out.
The GamePad tablet controller is the Wii U's biggest leap. It's got a six inch screen, standard A/B/X/Y buttons, two joysticks, a D-pad, and four triggers. The GamePad also has rumble support, speakers, and a front-facing camera. Not only can you use the GamePad as a controller, but you can also stream your Wii U gameplay directly to it. My wife was just playing Mario Kart 8 on it while something else was on the TV. Is this a half-step or beta test for the NX? Probably.
You can also set up the GamePad to control your TV. I haven't bothered to do that yet, so I'm not sure how well it works.
I've only got Mario Kart 8 right now, so I'll be writing up a review of that pretty soon. Mario Maker and a few other games will be making an appearance on my TV/GamePad in the near future.

Availability of Class Recordings in Canvas
At Wharton's Philadelphia campus, faculty choose whether classes will be recorded, as well as whether to make specific class recordings available for student viewing. Starting in 2015, course videos (now known as "Class Recordings") have been provided through Canvas.
Wharton-San Francisco Courses: In situations where faculty do not already provide class recordings to all students as a study aid, specialized rules will govern student access to recordings. Contact your class's program manager to request access due to an excused absence, or with any questions.
Recordings of non-course Lectures and other events at Wharton are managed through the SPIKE Media Tab.

"Grab onto the siderails. Not so tightly yet, okay," Hikaru instructs.
"That's what it's made for, you know," Yabu adds cheekily. Hikaru's glare didn't stop Yabu from making that comment, and doesn't stop the other man from letting out a snort giggle at his own dumb joke before stepping away from between the woman's parted legs, removing his used glove, and fixing the drapes over her. "Fully dilated and effaced. Let's get this show on the road," he tells both the patient and Hikaru with a wink. "Monitor the progress, Hikaru, I'll handle the DR prep."
Hikaru just rolls his eyes at Yabu's antics, but then his focus shifts on the patient. "Take deep breaths and release slowly through your mouth," he continues. He lays a gentle hand on the patient's tummy, checking for contractions. The contractions are short and far in between, but that'll change soon enough. Hikaru lowers a siderail then helps the patient up from the examination bed.
"Listen, Maika-san, I need you to stay with me here," Hikaru begins as he walks with the patient. "I know it's painful, but when we get to the other room I need you to push when you feel the worst of it." The patient nods with a determination that Hikaru finds cute on her fairly young face, readily tackling this new phase in her life despite her youth.
Yabu looks up from his intsrument table when Hikaru enters the delivery room with their patient, having finished his preparations. They share a nod, their code for a wordless exchange of good luck and I trust you, and together they work on safely delivering a new life.
Your turn, yomimashou.

This was stated by Svoboda Andrii Illenko during a talk show on Channel 5.
The politician has called on his colleagues in Parliament to order.
"Let's stop the practice of gross violations of the regulations in the work of the legislative body of the state. Then we can at least talk about something," - said "svobodovets."
According to him, Ukraine is witnessing the establishment of an authoritarian regime.
"At a time when authoritarianism is creeping on us, we will not carry the ammunition for this regime... This is not why people voted for us," said Illenko.
At the same time, when Communist Oleksandr Prysiazhniuk attempted to draw his attention, the nationalist said: "You shut up, you Pavlik Morozov" (communist poster child known for betraying his own father to the communists)

To what extent can the social and solidarity economy (SSE) contribute to the development of Mediterranean economies?
The ANIMA network has addressed this issue in a contribution to the 2017 report of FEMISE (Euro-Mediterranean Forum of Institutes of Economic Sciences).
For ANIMA, SSE, which offers an effective response to the region's major challenges (creation of jobs for the youth, integration of the informal sector, reduction of inequalities and contribution to economic diversification), should be encouraged by any available support mechanism for entrepreneurship in order to disseminate its responsibility values, rather than through specific tools that tend to separate SSE from the rest of the economy.

Leven Thumps and the Whispered Secret by Obert Skye
Friday, May 18, 2007
Fifth "Once Upon a Time" Challenge
"Have you ever wondered about what's on the other side of your dreams? Well if you do, this is the book for you. This book is about a 14 year old boy named Leven, who is the destined savior of Foo (a magical world where humans dreams are stored.) and with the help of his friends will keep Foo from danger. His friends are Geth (the rightful king of Foo who has been turned into a toothpick), Clover (a 3 inch tall sycophant who is the guardian of Leven), Winter (a girl who has the power to freeze things), and many other characters. " CSS Middle School Review on Amazon.com
Once I got into this novel and figured out what was going on (it's been two years since I read the first book in the series, "Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo"), I really enjoyed it, better than the first. While the first book takes place mostly in Reality, the second roams the realm of Foo. The fantasy is very creative, full of flights of imagination. It's amazing what a human's dream accomplishes in the land of Foo. There are some good heroic characters, even more evil meanies, and tons of oddities popping up along the way. Here are a couple of quotes which made me chuckle:
"It's not easy starting something new. Few things are more intimidating that walking into a brand-new situation and having to make the best of it. Maybe your parents moved during your ninth-grade year and you had to make new friends in a foreign country where everyone else spoke a different language from yours. That's uncomfortable, and, and any well-meaning adult might say, "a character-building experience." But what if you feel like you already have enough character, and you don't want to leave all your friends and go to a foreign country with different money and food and a big school where the other kids ignore you and make you wish you were a treasure chest or a dog bone or anything buried deep beneath the earth and out of sight? What then? Well, you do as your parents tell you, and hope you don't perish from too much character development." Makes you wonder about Skye's earlier year??
"The waitress looked at him as if he were the sole reason she would never date again, took the menu from him, and walked away." This cracked me up.
The biography of the author is quite unusual as well: "Obert Skye was born on a stormy night in the back of a fast-moving taxi. He is tall, but not towering, and persistent but not perfect. He once read an entire book upside down. Obert spends his time telling all who will listen about the existence of Foo and the importance of dreams. Obert presented this manuscript as a true story when he first approached the publisher; editors suggested that his recital of events would sell a lot more copies as a piece of fiction. He initially rejected the idea. Three days later, looking as if he had raced halfway across the world, he suddenly appeared in the publishing company's boardroom and agreed to the terms, saying the story of Foo was too important not to be told. Aside from that, Obert is a fairly ordinary fellow who says he is simply hoping to repair what he has mistakenly done."
While this is not the best fantasy book I have ever read, I thought it was fun to read and a great book for young teens. A few warnings: You have to read the first book first, don't wait too long before reading the second, and it's best not to dig up buried secrets.
Rating: 4
All in all, I consider this challenge to be a huge success. Each of the five books I read were wonderful in their own way. It's a hard decision, but I'm going to say "Outlander" was my favorite. Of course, I'm going to read a Neil Gaiman book as a bonus, so things may change.

I daresay that reading Neil Gaiman is really likely to make things change :PWhich one are you thinking of reading?This one sounds interesting. I like the passages you shared!(Sorry about the deleted comment, that was a mistake of mine).
Framed said...
Nymeth, I'm reading "Stardust" and really enjoying it. He does write beautifully. I also checked out "Good Omen" which he co-wrote with Terry Pratchett.

I remember you saying you didn't really like the first one so I'm glad this one was better. I don't know if I need to read it. Maybe someday.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution has had a spate of letters to the editor recently about the supposed profiling used by the security screeners at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport. (BTW, I am not going to spend an hour linking everything here -- Google or Yahoo can help you if you are inclined to follow up on any of this)
Response letters poured into the AJC after a self-proclaimed "Muslim American" woman wrote an op-ed article complaining that she was selected for closer inspection at the airport because of her head covering. She perceived her treatment as profiling of Muslims. [the title of her letter in the @issue section of the paper was entitled "Muslim Americans are Americans, too" if you want to look it up.]
The AJC printed several response letters. One stated,
I, a 5 foot, 120 pound, 46 year old Caucasion woman, have been selected to be searched three times since Sept. 11 while traveling on business......perhaps Naureen Kamdar should be grateful that her treatment was no different from mine......or maye we should all get angry because 99 percent of terorists are young men from a handful of countries, and everyone not fitting their profile should be left alone...Another printed response was from a middle-aged woman with artificial knees that routinely cause the airport security alarm to sound. She describes the security procedures she endures each time then says,
...my knee replacement cohorts have never committed any acts of terrorism, yet we are singled out the be 'hounded and humiliated' every time we fly. Naureen Kamdar did not follow instructions so she earned a trip to the high risk box. It had everything to do with her lack of intial cooperation and nothing to do with her head scarf.......If she wants to use her journalism skills to reduce the perceived intolerance toward Muslim Americans, she should exhort her co-religionists to condemn those 'twisted minds' who use Islam as an excuse to kill. It is they who are shaming Islam, and the good people of the faith should not tolerate it.The words in single quotes above were taken from Ms Kamdar's original op-ed article.
Another letter stated,
The fact that (she) was searched in response to her actions....is not something unusual. I travel a lot. I have to go through luggage checks, laptop checks, shoe checks, and sometimes personal body checks weekly. I do not look anything like a Middle Eastern Muslim. I look like a middle-aged, overweight blond business man trying to make a living. When I travel I have one wish, and that is to not be ensnared into someone's so-called martyrdom.I can say "Amen" to the last statement. I will also add that I had the experience about a year ago of being taken to that "high risk" area, searched thoroughly and made to wait for a female security person who "patted me down." I am a 65-year-old white Christian-American female accompanied by a 65-year-old white Christian-American bald-headed man. I did not feel "hounded and humiliated" by this treatment. I realized that, like Ms Kamdar, the procedure was initiated by something irregular in my passage through the security gate. My irregularity was in my paperwork; hers was in her actions and attitude. I had allowed enough time at the airport that this extra security measure did not cause undue stress; she had "cut it too close" time-wise and lost her perspective. The stress she experienced was the result of her own attitude and the fact that she didn't follow instructions to allow time at the airport before her flight.

Where is the FAST Search Community?
Prior to becoming proficient in MOSS Search, and prior to doing numerous Search Proof of Concepts on behalf of Microsoft, I spent quite a bit of time locked inside of a small office in the North End of Boston, researching, building and testing MOSS Search on a Microsoft VM. My primary sources of information included TechNet webcasts, blogs, Codeplex, MSDN articles, and the Microsoft Partner Support contacts. I've come to really appreciate the abundance of free flowing ideas and information that exists on the Web related to MOSS. The community is fantastic.
As I embark on new and exciting adventures working with FAST ESP, I am certain that the MOSS community will continue to contribute high quality information and will eventually expand to cover more topics related to FAST ESP. As of now, I don't see the same level of knowledge sharing occurring with FAST as I have seen with MOSS. I only hope that in response to Microsoft's acquisition of FAST as well as their reasonable product licensing model, that FAST will become more widely adopted and that a FAST Search community will flourish on the Web.

Sir, You should check out Coveo Enterprise Search. Its far superior to FAST. Hast is such a whale and requires an army to setup and manage.
- Nicholas Bisciotti said...
I have deployed Coveo Enterprise Search multiple times, I like it very much, and it definitely has its place in the market (btw, they need to bring back Coveo Desktop Search download!!..where did it go??).
Enterprise Search has multiple tiers (department/team, division, enterprise, adv enterprise). Other factors include varying requirements for functionality and volume and availability for different types/sized organizations.
Coveo fits well as an Enterprise Solution. It enhances SharePoint. It adds user features that SharePoint lacks. It has a user friendly administration screens, which works well when there is a limited support staff. It is also priced very reasonably. I agree, it takes much less effort to set up than FAST.
Having said this, when reviewing business requirements for more advanced Search solutions, you may quickly discover that you need a robust, extensible search "platform", not just a search application. I'm not saying that Coveo cannot be customized..it can. However, certain search projects have requirements that are advanced enough when it is actually more cost effective to develop on FAST. I'm talking about document processing, linguistics, tagging, big volume, high availability.
Stay tuned, as time goes on FAST product will adapt and will become more available/manageable/cost effective and will compete in the same markets that Coveo is currently serving.

Liberals to Bill: Better Not Mean What You Say
Every so often in politics a bill comes due. That's what is happening to liberal Democrats as they discover, to their apparent surprise and horror, that President Clinton's political cross-dressing has a price.
For months now, even years if you go back to 1992, liberals have conspired with their silence as Mr. Clinton has climbed in popularity by aping conservative rhetoric, on welfare and more. But now that the president is confronted with a real welfare reform bill, these same liberals are shocked that he might actually have...

The stipulation of occlusion
There is no more controversial subject in all of dentistry than "occlusion." There is no better way to start a brawl in a room full of dentists than to suggest one or more of the following:
1. "Occlusion doesn't cause TMD"
2. "Occlusion doesn't matter, unless they are occluding."
3. "You don't need to mount your models in centric relation in order to do a good treatment plan."
4. "An articulator has nothing to do with how a mandible moves."
5. "Interferences don't cause lateral pterygoid spasms."
6. "Placing a patient in CR will not in itself resolve his/her orofacial pain"
7. "Patients with internal derangements don't usually have altered occlusions as a result of their joint status."
8. "You should NEVER ask patients if they grind or clench their teeth."
9. "If a patient tells you that his/her bite is 'uncomfortable' you should NOT check his/her occlusion with articulating paper."
10. "You should NEVER ask patients 'How does that feel?' when checking their occlusion after a restorative procedure."

Hi, my name is Matt and I love to run! I especially enjoy trail running. I am married to Susie and we have six children Connor-10, Jed-8, Jaxine-7, Evan-4, Eliza-2, and Susanna-0. Look for me at your next race, I wear the same bright yellow Twinkies shirt at all my races.

Happy New year.
Today I ran up North Canyon. The trail was good for about 3 miles up, then got really soft. It was amazing up there this morning. I love winter trail running.
2012 ended with about 800 miles and 150,000 feet of elevation gain.
For 2013 I have decided to push my limits and climb 377,377 feet. That may sound like a strange number. It is the equivalent of summitting Mt Everest from sea level 13 times. 13 Everest summits in 2013. Anyone care to join me?
Ran with a group of friends up Farmington Canyon. There were three Matt's in the group. Myself, Matt VH, & Matt W. It was nice to run with somebody again. Most of my runs this winter have been solo. I turned around at 3.5 miles because I had to go to work. The rest of group continued on up to 5 miles.
Quick business trip down in St George. I was able to get an early run in before the my meetings. It is warmer here, but not by much.

The Bar coded Crossbody is the perfect size, not too big or too small, and sits comfortably on the hip. This stylish bag is featured in a faded, stonewashed denim, with printed graphics, metal accents and a long adjustable 26″ strap for wearing crossbody or on the shoulder. This bag is fun and hip! 12″W x 12″H x 2.5″D. Spot clean only.
Waste not is the concept behind these awesome bags from Mona B. Why make new materials when there are interesting and perfectly usable fabrics that can be recycled or upcycled. Mona B's goal is to reduce and reuse some of the world's waste – or what some people may consider waste. One person's trash is another person's treasure. This collection is all about fashion that's Earth-friendly! We love that these bags also look so stylish! The fabrics used in these bags include canvas from truck tarps and wool scraps. Mona B takes these fabrics and uses them to create unique recycled treasures. Added details like the leather handles and printed graphics provide an edgy, one-of-a-kind style.
PLEASE NOTE: Each of these bags is truly an original! The canvas used is 100% recycled from used tarps and tents. These tarps have literally traveled the world and carry the scars and bruises of use. Therefore each bag will sport its own unique marks of wear and tear. Expect to see possible variations including stitch marks and minor staining of the canvas. These are the hallmarks of an up-cycled item, however – please let us know if you receive a bag or tote that seems to exceed these expectations. We want you to love your Mona B Tote!

Granada diary
Saturday - The group met at the station and by some miracle everyone was there early so we hopped on an early train! All group members including leaders arrived at Gatwick and after much fun on the moving walkways, headed to the shuttle and made their way through security. For those who had never flown before it was an exciting new experience already. The students wandered off around the airport and the teachers sat and relaxed whilst babysitting a battalion of suitcases.
When the group got to Granada they passed through security and a rep from the Spanish agency met the group and showed them to a private, air-conditioned bus!
They arrived in the city and were immediately met by host families, who whisked them away for dinner and an early night.
Although the families didn't speak much, or any, English, everyone managed to communicate. The teachers were already so proud of the effort that they were putting in.
Sunday: The group were met by their guide Daniel. It was reassuring for the group to know he would remain with them for the next three days.
The weather was baking hot by 11am at the Nerja caves everyone was almost happy to be heading deep underground.
The caves were amazing, a Spanish guide who explained everything. What the students didn't understand, Daniel and the teachers were able to explain, but the students got most of it from the Spanish.
The walk down into the caves was easy; the walk back up was more effort. Then it was time for a quick tour around the gift shop and an ice cream, then lunch and back on the bus to head into Nerja Town.
The group visited the beautiful Balcon Europa and then spent two hours chilling on the beach, followed by free time in the town.
Lots of ice cream and shopping! Finally, it was back on the bus again to visit a small town called Frigiliana.
There are lots of historical mosaics, and it was boiling hot so lots of suncream and yet MORE ice-cream. The group arrived back in Granada at 7 and the students had free time until being back
at their host families at 9 for dinner. It was great to see how the Spanish timings of the day are different and by now the two school groups were starting to get to know each other a bit better too.
Monday: on Monday morning the group met at school and were introduced to their Spanish buddies and their English teachers.
Everyone was so friendly! The students had a tour of the school with their buddies and then went and settled into lessons. The teachers had a chance to get some work done.
After school there was a walking tour of the Albecin area and saw the Alhambra from a viewpoint.
The Hove Park students put in so much effort to speak Spanish in all their transactions with patrons in shops and interested passers by. At about 6, the students disappeared off to meet their buddies and the teachers went for some well earned tapas. Again it was instructed to be home by 9 and everyone obeyed their curfew. It was brilliant for the teachers to be able to trust their students to follow instructions and not get lost!
Tuesday: met at school again, this time without Ms Stallard who had to fly home. Everyone met their buddies and had a great day of lessons, with lots of participation. At one point the students from Longhill and Hove Park actually led an activity in an English lesson, and learned about philosophy!
After school they had a packed lunch and met Daniel in town to tour the alhambra. Suddenly there was a huge rainstorm, everyone got soaked but survived, and by the time the tour was over, churros and hot chocolate were much needed to warm everyone up!
Wednesday: another early morning and off to school with the buddies. After that, the students went to Nevada shopping centre for some retail therapy. The buddies joined so that everyone could have a last adventure together. At the end of the day the group got the tram back into town. The group was very nearly depleted by the loss two of the longhill girls, but it was all OK in the end! Back home for an early night and packing ahead of the sad journey home.
Thursday: as usual, everyone was on time and ready to go for the flight home, although packing the suitcases full of souvenirs was not easy! Luckily easyjet allowed us to put our bags in the hold for free, so it was a hassle free journey home.
Granada Airport is really not very exciting though! Everyone from Longhill was picked up at the airport, and the Hove park students, Mary and Ms Perronno made their way back to Brighton on the train.
A truly fantastic adventure!
Next stop Barcelona in October 2018!!!

Bonhoeffer points out that we are told to pray, "Lead us not into temptation." At first, it sounds like we are cowards who cannot handle it.
Why shouldn't we pray, 'Lead me into temptation that I may test the power of the good in me.'
Why shouldn't we pray, 'Help us overcome whatever temptation we might encounter?' After all, that sounds much more courageous and spirited.
In praying, 'Lead us not into temptation,' we are confronting two types. The first type is natural man. Natural man "wants to prove his strength in adventure, in struggle, in encounter with the enemy.' The second type is moral man. Moral man "knows that his knowledge is true and convincing only when it is tried out and proved."
We seem to have a lot of natural and moral Christians in our day. We want to focus on how strong we are and we have minimized weakness. We want to talk about how we have it all together, how we can handle any kind of trial. We have a lot of great advice for those who are going through the trial.
And then the trial hits us. Instead of saying that we are weaker than we thought we say, "That temptation was more than any normal person could handle." Or we come up with all kinds of justifications for why we failed. Or just blindly refuse to admit we did anything wrong.
Wouldn't it be better just to admit weakness? 'God there are some things I can't handle. If tempted, there are some areas that I will fail in if the temptation. So, please keep me away from situations that You and I both know are going to end in my destruction. Lead me not to any trial where I will fail.'
This prayer strikes our pride, self-sufficiency, and everything our culture has come to believe about the self. But it more true than thousands of pages of self-help, psychology, and what passes for religion.

Gosh thankyou all so much, went up to 36 followers in 24 hours :) I couldn't be happier.
My weekend was good actually really good, minus having to work in Sainsburys for 12 hours, the other 36 were fabulously relaxing & warm...
I rescued a baby seagull last week, it had fallen off of a roof onto the floor & was just fox lunch waiting to happen so we brought him home & now he lives in a rabbit run in our garden.
He's doing really really well, I will post photos of him later, we have called him Henry.
My mum rang me to say this morning she has discovered 3 more babies so my house will be mad when I return home tonight.
6 dogs, 1 cat, 2 tortoises, 2 chickens, fishies & now 4 baby seagulls also living in the garden.
Anyway, as a small thankyou here are some beautiful photos for you to ponder through

JULY!!!! YIPPIE! Its my baby month! haha I seriously could not be happier for this month to roll around! Not just because I get to meet and hold my SECOND DAUGHTER this month but because there are some wonderful people visiting (friends and family) and lots of other exciting things happening too. Not to mention its one of the most beautiful months to live on my little Island!
So lets recap! Here were my June Goals.
1. Continue scheduling posts - Kind of fail.... Sorry bloggy friends! This space has been pretty sparse!
2. Get a haircut and um wax (TMI?) before baby! (seriously guys I have to write this one down because I suck at making appointments for myself) - nope.... waaah........ Really wish this one got done but unfortunately not!
July Goals... Lets do this!!!
1. Get Everything ready for baby to arrive... ok so this is basically almost done but there are a few things left to do.
2. Actually leave the house every day... HA!
1. No real goal except post my lovely guest posts for you all while Im looking after baby!
1. Try to help Bob as much as I can with Camp work. Im not going to put too much pressure on myself but I still want to remain sane enough for him to bounce ideas off of because I know he needs that.
2. Remain connected as much as possible.
3. Maybe wishful thinking but ONE more date before baby would be amazing!!
1. Try to find a little me time every day. Might be tricky depending on how well this baby nurses but hoping for at least 10 minutes to myself to do something just for me.

An American tourist and a Phuket tuk-tuk taxi driver have shaken hands and made peace after they were each fined B2,000 for fighting over a B200 tuk-tuk fare in Patong early yesterday morning (July 16).
The fight broke out at about 5am in front of the Poppa Palace hotel in Soi Jintana off Rat-U-Thit 200 Pi Rd.
Maj Eakkachai Siri of the Phuket Tourist Police called in regular officers from the Patong Police after he was notified of the fight, but by the time police arrived the tuk-tuk driver, Burin Sukhontharot, had left the scene.
A video clip of the fight went viral on social media sites. The video starts showing the American, Nicholas Martin De Haan, 28, from Oregon, and Burin already engaged in the fight, with a woman – later identified by police as only "Emma Frances", 25, from England – on the ground.
Lt Col Saksan Khomsakorn of the Patong Police with fellow officers later yesterday afternoon tracked Burin to his accommodation in Thung Thong in Kathu, from where he was escorted back to Patong Police Station to remedy the situation with Mr Haan.
Mr De Haan, a guest at the hotel, and "Ms Emma" had shared a tuk-tuk from the end of Bangla Rd, police were told.
"I told them that the fare was B200, but Mr Haan paid only B40," Burin told police.
"I tried to explain that the fare was B200, not B40, but Mr Haan was drunk and refused to pay. So we were arguing and then started fighting. I admit that I hit him in the face," Burin said.
Mr Haan, recounting his version of events, told police, "I already asked how much the fare was before I got in the tuk-tuk. I thought that the fare was B20 per person. So I paid B40. I admit that I was drunk and that I hit Mr Burin."
However, no mention was made of who struck first or how "Ms Emma" ended up on the ground.
Col Saksan told The Phuket News, "They were both charged with fighting in public and fined B2,000 each. We asked Mr Haan to have a medical check at a hospital to make sure he has not suffered any serious injuries.
"For Mr Burin, we will report this to the Phuket Land Transportation Office (PLTO)," Col Saksan added.
"I would like to warn every public transport driver that if they are in this kind of incident, please calm down and talk with customers," Col Saksan said.
"If the problem cannot be resolved, please call the police. Please do not lose your temper and use physical force. It damages the province's and the country's image," he added.

In emergencies involving people trapped in dangerous situations, the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department calls upon its Technical Rescue Team (TRT).
Technical Rescue Team members are part of the department's Florida Task Force 5 Urban Search and Rescue team. The TRT responds to 9-1-1 calls involving such things as people trapped in a building collapse or trench cave-in; someone caught in a piece of machinery or confined space; or someone dangling from a rope and in need of a high-angle rescue. The Technical Rescue Team is assigned to Station 4 and Station 13.
Technical Rescue has been involved in memorable life-saving events in Jacksonville. Several have been featured on television shows Without Warning, Real TV and Rescue 911, courtesy of footage shot by the JFRD's Video Services.
In one instance, fire fighters rescued three bridge inspectors dangling from safety belts attached to a bucket 150 feet in the air under the Dames Point bridge. A fourth inspector fell into the St. Johns River when their truck boom collapsed. Despite a dislocated shoulder, he made it to shore with the aid of a life vest. The May 1989 rescue took place only 45 days after the High Angle Rescue Team, as Technical Rescue was called at the time, was formed.
In September 2002, the team rescued three construction workers from an underground sewer line after they were overwhelmed by hydrogen sulfide fumes.
Technical Rescue is part of Special Operations in the Operations Division.

(OR) Holiday Ale Festival (Returns), December 1st Thru The 5th
Portland, OR – Nowadays it seems that everybody is getting in the spirit of "early bird gets the worm" –like promotions. This month we received a reminder that despite the calendar reading September, we should start thinking about, December.
On December 1st (with winter-like weather cooperating) the Holiday Ale Festival will be making its triumphant return to the Pioneer Courthouse Square. Better start stocking up on Winter Ale, Winter Warmers, Barleywines, and other 'warming' beers, you're gonna need them in preparation. The Holiday Ale Festival annually gathers together more than 40 of these winter warmers for a joyous five-day celebration.
Tentative start times are 2PM to 10 PM on Wednesday, 11 AM thru 10 PM Thursday thru Saturday, and 11 AM thru 5 PM on Sunday. As always the event is 21 and over, so please leave the little one's with someone you trust.
According to festival manager Preston Weesner, what makes this festival standout from other similar events is the beer selection. "We work with every brewery involved to make sure they are sending a product that has either been made specifically for this event, or is a rare or vintage beer that isn't commonly tapped in the state. You aren't going to come here and find a beer that you could purchase at your local supermarket."
The beers featured are rich, robust and full of complex flavors - they range from IPAs, Belgians and Barleywines to Winter Warmers, Sour Ales and Stouts. What they all share in common is their rarity, which has solidified the event's reputation as the premier winter beer tasting venue on the West Coast.
To taste beer, the purchase of an entry package is required. Packages include a 2010 souvenir mug and 10 beer tickets and cost $20 in advance at www.holidayale.com or $25 at the door. Once inside, a full mug of beer costs four tickets; a four-ounce taste costs one. (A few limited release and specialty beers require two tickets for a taste.) Additional beer tickets can be purchased for $1 apiece. Previous year's mugs will not be filled. Free re-admission is allowed all days with a wristband and the current year's mug.
Designated drivers in a party of two or more may purchase a designated driver writsband for $5. Designated drivers receive complimentary root beer courtesy of Crater Lake Soda Company.
Despite being held outdoors during one of the coldest months of the year, more than 18,000 festival attendees stay warm and dry under clear-topped tents that cover the venue. Gas heaters create a cozy ambiance beneath the boughs of the region's largest decorated Christmas tree. In addition to beer tasting, the festival also features on-site food, event merchandise, a coat check for charity, and seasonal background music.
Returning to the event is the seventh annual Belgian Beer Brunch, taking place on Dec. 5 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the upper level of Pioneer Courthouse Square. The auxiliary event features European pastries, cured meats and artisanal cheeses to accompany an assortment of exclusive Belgian winter beers not available at the festival itself. Tickets cost $45 and are available at www.holidayale.com.
Brewing special seasonal beers predates modern history and has its origin in the pagan celebrations of winter solstice. Designed to fend off the cold of a long winter night, winter beers are traditionally complex in aroma and flavor, big in body, and high in alcohol. Thanks to an extra dose of malt, these beers are rich and bold, with chocolate, caramel or coffee flavors; others benefit from the addition of extra hops, herbs, spices and fruit.

Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner Hardyal Dhindsa backed a national campaign urging men to publicly declare their support for stamping out violence against women.
The PCC joined Chief Constable Mick Creedon and chief fire officer Terry McDermott to renew his personal promise never to commit, condone or remain silent about violence against women.
He visited volunteers and staff at the Escape Domestic Abuse Support Service in Heanor on November 25, to talk to men signing up to the national pledge. The event was held on White Ribbon Day and shined a spotlight on the advice services the charity provides to protect women and help them flee abuse. Since it launched four years ago, the organisation has supported more than 1,500 people.

Providing hot meals to the homeless and those in need within our community.
Bread of Life is comprised of approximately seventy-five volunteers that make up several teams who rotate weekly to share God's love with our community guests by providing a hot meal on campus every Sunday evening. Each team creates a friendly, home-like environment, and seeks to build relationships with the guests. Guests are invited to attend worship services and share in the set-up and clean-up of the afternoon meal.
Bread of Life is supported financially by its volunteers, the congregation, and the Deacons of Christ Pacific Church. Local establishments, such as Panera Bread, donate surplus food every week. Leftover food is delivered each week to the Rev. Tamara John's Hope for Life RV Ministry in Huntington Beach, where her guests enjoy a meal together.
Would you like more information on how you can support or join this ministry team? Contact Dean Bobar, firstname.lastname@example.com, 714-968-4940.

CG Sketchbook Illustration & Graphic Design
In the current economic climate it's natural for companies and individuals to look for cheaper "off the rack" solutions to their projects, but I'm looking to work with clients looking to develop tailor made images and designs that will feed their customers' imaginations and perhaps be that crucial deciding factor in securing those all important sales!
Freelance Graphic Designer and Illustrator based in south London, with over 6 years experience in the design industry and a degree in sequential illustration. I have a varied portfolio of skills but I specialise in illustration for children's publishing, graphic novels and character design, as well as image manipulation and trade publishing design, including both work on covers and spread layouts. My style of working in both illustration and design is playful, energetic, nifty and perhaps most importantly - adaptable! I look forward to creating with you!

The Lord is renewing the call to His Church and clergy to Disciple Him and make Him Disciple in every nation! The call to disciple(ship) is not a new commandment, it is not a commandment of the 21st century, rather, He made the original call 2,000+ years ago when He, the resurrected Lord was leaving the earth. It is the Final Command; I call it the Final Command, whilst many call it the Great Commission.
The Lord has activated the move in the heavens, calling and returning His Church and clergy to His original command to make Him Disciples in every nation, and the chosen and prepared vessels here on earth have received the signal, to proclaim the renewed call to the global church and clergy. The agenda is, "Be My disciple and make Me disciples everywhere in the world". The Master wants Disciples as His representatives in every nation in the world, rather than the casual, lukewarm, mental (rather than heart) commitment that many have exhibited over the last twenty (20) centuries.
Simply put, Christ wants to be represented everywhere in the world by Disciples, true ambassadors; people who have paid the full price of following Him as Christ demanded in the gospels. Moreover, representation by Disciples is the Lord's vision and divine growth strategy for His Church right from the beginning, and He made this demand just before His ascension. Discipleship of Christ is therefore, no man's idea. It is not my innovation either. It has been the demand right from the beginning.
In His Final Command after His post-resurrection teachings and interactions with His Disciples, the Lord commanded:
"Go ye therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all the things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." (Matthew 28:19-20) KJV
Clearly, Christ commanded the Disciples (at that time, it was them, but today it is us) to make disciples of all the nations. Simply, He was demanding a multiplication of Disciples across every culture, race, tribe, geography. In His mind, He wants the entire earth to be filled by followers who are truly disciples. Therefore, Disciples is the name He calls all who come to Him for salvation among all the several other provisions. He has therefore blessed the name He gave His followers, which was and remains, Disciples. It has not been cancelled and cannot be cancelled.
Thus says the Lord to this author, "Be My disciple and make Me disciples". It was and is still a command, not an advice. It is a command to all the Church, clergy and me and every Christian. The command is for us to "disciple Him and makes Him disciples", baptising and teaching them to obey all things He has commanded us. This is our business, the Church's assignment; it is well defined, it is clear and unambiguous.
Are you a Disciple of the Lord? Let me hear from you.

She is the one that I thought wasn't laying. I'm getting 2 eggs per day from 4 chickens, so I'm trying to figure out who is responsible for what. Anyhow, it was quite an awesome sight.

disc golf
Hi students!
You already know that we are working with frisbees or flying discs this month. In other countries there is an odd game called
DISC GOLF: a flying disc game in which individual players throw a flying disc at a target. According to the Professional Disc Golf Association, the object of the game is to traverse a course from beginning to end in the fewest number of throws of the disc.
On the picture, you can see our own target which was built from recycled materials.
Let's play!

Did He Just Tell Me to Shut the F@$% Up?
That's how I took it, but in the best way. Someone has put me in touch with a surfer who went through the knee replacement journey years ago. We've exchanged a few emails. This one said it all:
What you need to do is be patient. Its been a few weeks, that' s all. You had a double amputation, so to speak. I surf my 7-10 and my 9' LB My replacement is my front leg. THat helps I think. When it comes to PT, listen and do what they say. They want you to succeed. Movement will come. I used my total gym to keep my upper body in shape but I also used it when the platform comes down and I kept going further w/it.
Don't be frustrated.
I'm not so much frustrated as I am bored to the point of extreme impatience with the entire process. This is the email I needed to read. Now I'll adjust my attitude. That includes shutting the fuck up.

A Rocky Hill father, former pilot and Boy Scout leader was sentenced to eight years in prison Monday for having sexual contact with two boys. "You are, in fact, guilty of a heinous crime," Judge Arthur Hadden told Mark Alexander, 36. "You have to pay the price of that." He sentenced Alexander to eight years in prison, followed by eight years of special parole, as Alexander's wife, Francesca, wept. Alexander had previously pleaded no contest to charges of first-degree illegal possession of child pornography and risk of injury to a minor.
Boy Scout Files Uncover 22 Connecticut Residents Suspected of Abuse or Inappropriate Behavior
Donald Fricke was remembered as a popular leader among his Milford Boy Scouts. One off his supervisors in the 1980s said the heavyset volunteer who passed himself off as a clergyman was well-liked by the boys, always willing to donate his time and never was a disciplinary problem. Except that the supervisor never knew until 1985 that Fricke, who worked as a custodian for the Milford Recreation Department, was convicted and sentenced to probation in 1966 for fondling a Scout during a camping trip. Fricke admitted as much in a 1985 Connecticut Post article. "Once somebody was found out, they were supposed to be kaput with the Boy Scouts," said Edward Quirk, who served as a volunteer leader with Fricke in the 1980s. "The name was supposed to go on "a black list." Apparently it went into a black hole instead. And Fricke, who died at 47 in 1991, found his way back into Scouting in 1979 and stayed on for six years until his prior act was discovered. No allegations of immoral conduct were made against him except for that 1966 incident. Fricke's name is among 22 Connecticut residents in files of 1,247 volunteer leaders from across the country accused or convicted of immoral acts from 1959 to 1985. The files were maintained by the Boy Scouts of America and released to an Oregon jury in 2010; on Thursday, the Oregon Supreme Court allowed the public release of those files, which fill 14,500 pages.
Boy Scouts of America Files Reveal Repeat Child Abuse
Tremont Sheldon Robinson Mahoney found the following article interesting regarding the Boy Scout of America "perversion files" and the moving/relocating of child sexual predators. During our work with clergy sexual abuse, priests were often moved from parish to parish and continued to commit their heinous acts. Much like the "perversion files", the church had secret archives detailing abuse. The article below details what has been discovered at Boy Scouts of America. Internal documents from the Boy Scouts of America reveal more than 125 cases in which men suspected of molestation allegedly continued to abuse Scouts, despite a blacklist meant to protect boys from sexual predators. A Los Angeles Times review of more than 1,200 files from 1970 to 1991 found suspected abusers regularly remained in the organization after officials were first presented with sexual misconduct allegations.

If you've got gold fillings, give yourself a pat on the back.
They're proof that, once upon a time, you got dental work that you needed. And that's no small feat.
So all these years later, how are those fillings holding up?
They're certainly not as nice to look at anymore, are they? By resting on your laurels when it comes to past dental work, you're putting the longevity of your smile at risk.
By allowing those old gold fillings to take the place of work that you need today, you are threatening the health of your smile because those ancient fillings might not be doing the job they were intended to do.
What's more, by holding onto them longer than you should, they could be causing problems with your teeth without you even knowing it.
At Marineland Dental Care, we believe that the only gold you own should be worn on your hands or around your neck, not in your mouth. We can help you replace those old dental fillings with stronger, more aesthetically pleasing alternatives that will enhance the sparkle and integrity of your smile for years to come.
The Problem With Old Gold Fillings
So what's the big deal, right? You got the fillings, they helped fix a dental need in your past, so why should you be worried?
They certainly didn't look the nicest despite what they're made of, but they got the job done.
Even if they did their job well, sooner or later those fillings will be ready for retirement. Don't let your smile suffer as a consequence.
Gold, for all of its glitter, isn't the strongest of materials. In fact, it's actually a fairly "soft" metal, making it gentler on your other natural teeth. That's one of the biggest reasons why dentists have been using them for so long.
Yet with the invention of the car, people stopped riding around on horse-drawn carriages, didn't they?
Here's something you might not have known about your gold fillings – or maybe you already do because you're currently suffering from complications: They can cause you serious harm to your overall dental health if they've been in your mouth for too long.
What happens is, over time, the gold filling itself can break down.
To say nothing of the dangers of gold metal particles traveling freely throughout your mouth and your body, a deteriorated gold filling will increase the chance that the tooth it is supposed to protect will develop a serious infection or cavity.
That's because, as the gold filling starts to break apart, it can actually trap tiny bits of food between the filling and the inner-workings of your tooth. If untreated, this will cause a rapid acceleration in the decline of the tooth, which can threaten the health of your gums and other teeth, as well.
What's even worse is that, because the filling is actively trapping food and bacteria, there's no way to brush or floss or gargle the problem away.
That's why you need us to examine your old filling to determine if it needs a simple, more durable replacement.
An Alternative To Gold Fillings
If we decide that a replacement filling is what's needed to address the issue, you still have the option of replacing that old gold fillings with another one. Like I mentioned before, gold fillings still have their benefits.
But wouldn't you want a new filling that won't set you up for the same exact problem in the future?
That's why we recommend all-porcelain inlays as a gold alternative. Porcelain is more attractive, as its color more closely resembles the color of natural, healthy teeth. It's also much stronger and far more resilient to wear and tear than gold.
You can get a better, stronger smile, but only if you decide to let us examine that old filling of yours.
Just because you have a filling doesn't mean it will keep performing like it always has, and waiting for it to pose a problem will only make the solutions more painful, and more expensive.
So make a decision that's worth more than its weight in gold, and schedule a consultation at our Kennewick, WA offices by calling 509-591-0515. You may also request an appointment with us online.
By taking the gold out of your mouth now, you'll be putting gold in your pocket later.

NIGEL FARAGE: "It Feels Like Brexit Day to Me" (VIDEO)
British Brexit leader Nigel Farage went on Varney and Co. this morning to discuss the US election.
Farage told Stewart Varney it feels like Brexit Day in the US today.
Is this Brexit day in the US? I hope so.
— Nigel Farage (@Nigel_Farage) November 8, 2016
Nigel Farage: You know, it feels just like Brexit day to me. All the smart money, all the commentators, all the foreign exchange dealers, the book makers, they all think that Hillary is going to do it. And yet even those opinion polls conducted by conventional companies you find it very difficult to reach non-voters who are entering the process, even they show it as being so close as to be within the margin of error. We did it on Brexit day because, a lot of people who don't normally vote were motivated to get down to those polling stations and to do their stuff. Trump's got a lot to do. He's got to win those swing states. He's got to win Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio. I get that. And yet, I have a feeling that the world could be in for a very big shock tomorrow morning.
The Brexiteers shocked the world when Britain voted to leave the European Union in June.
