Let me begin by acknowledging my intense infatuation with the sport of baseball, a love that developed as a youngster and blossomed further as I came to fully understand the strategies employed and the many nuances of meaning and expression attached to this game. One has to have maintained the little boy of the past within his being to totally appreciate the romance associated with such affection, a feat not easily maintained in this Canada of ours wherein hockey is king and other athletic pastimes are a distant second. Then, too, there is the cultural shift that now has adults organizing leagues and teams and has taken the fun away from the sandlot gatherings of kids who once played scrub, picked their own teams, did their own umpiring and hardly ever kept score. Fun was the name of the game. Professional baseball players once had to have off-season jobs to support themselves year round but, in today's society, sport has become a business and outlandish multi-million dollar contracts are the norm and have turned many present and would-be fans away in disgust at the impropriety in the ranking of remuneration.
One will find no such discrepancies present within "el sistema de béisbol Cubano" which is a loose translation meaning today's "Cuban baseball system". Prior to the revolution of the 1950's, the Havana Sugar Kings flourished as a professional Triple A affiliate within the International League. Cuban baseball players were allowed to travel to all parts of the world to ply their trade. As a young lad, I had the immense pleasure of indenturing as a bat boy for a team of semi-pro Cuban players who toured western Canada and consistently finished in the money in the numerous prize money tournaments which were in vogue during that era. I quickly learned, first hand, that Cubans were friendly people and intensely passionate about "pelota", the name they assign to baseball. After 1959, however, when the revolutionaries came to power in Cuba, a state-run amateur program was instituted, foreigners were not permitted to participate and home grown talent was not allowed to play elsewhere. But, one thing has remained solidly consistent, that being the deep passion that Cuba has for baseball. They proudly proclaim it as their "national sport" and the numerous international amateur and Olympic champions which have come from their leagues attest to their declaration as being the very best or close to the very best. Their teams once piled up an unbelievable 150 straight victories in official international competition over a 10 year time frame (1987-96). Their success at last season's inaugural World Baseball Classic brought them particular glee in that their amateurs were able to, not only hold their own, but to also beat most of the best professionals from the rest of the world. This is an impoverished country, after all, and the elite baseball players here draw their government salaries, like all other Cuban nationals, from mandatory day jobs for which they earn something in the equivalency of $20-25 Canadian per month. They are consistently inundated with the riches that await them in the professional North American leagues should they decide to jump ship and claim political asylum once within the boundaries of the numerous countries that their All-Star (Olympic) team visits each season while representing Cuba at the prestigious international championship tournaments. There have been a few that have succumbed, the most famous being pitchers Jose Contreras of the Chicago White Sox and Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez currently on the roster of the New York Mets. Almost all Cuban players, however, choose to stay with their national team for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that they will never be allowed to reside again in Cuba. Family members are generally not allowed to leave the country and join them and are watched closely by government authorities. Yet, there are many who espouse the virtues of the socialist system and remain content with the status quo.
Their 16 team National League began play during the first week in December 2006 and will end in April 2007 with a 3 round set of playoffs. The 90 game schedule that each team plays is based upon the most favorable weather conditions of the Cuban winter months. Cuba is divided into 14 provinces and each province fields one team of their best players. Two teams also play out of the capital (and most populated) city, Havana. One of these Havana based teams, the feared "Los Leones de Industriales", clad in blue and simply known as the "Industriales", lay claim to 10 championships including that of last season and are widely acknowledged as being the Cuban League equivalent of the New York Yankees. The 2006-2007 season marks the 46th for this league of Cuba's elite players. Geography is the sole basis of team designation. Each province's best players can only play for that team as there are no trades and no free agent signings.
With some preconceived expectations, I eagerly signed up as part of a bus tour that was privileged to attend our very first Cubana béisbol game on Friday evening, January 19, 2007 at "Stadia Generalisimo Calixto Garcia" in Holguin City, the capital of Holguin province. Typical of most ballpark venues in this country, names that are assigned to such are those of revolutionary heroes. I almost had to pinch myself to realize that I was sitting outdoors in a t-shirt and sandles in the middle of January and, not only that, but at night. The parking lot was void of motorized vehicles except for the buses transporting tourists as well as one for each of the teams. Apparently, they dress and shower at a hotel. Local fans in Holguin primarily walked or cycled to the ballpark. There were no commercials on the fences or outfield walls and the only signs that appeared were slogans proclaiming the virtues of the revolution. Admission price was but 1 Cuban convertible peso (approximately $1.25 Canadian), a mere pittance considering the entertainment provided and the skill level of the players. Freshly roasted peanuts, still hot in long cone-shaped paper containers (re-used from newspapers or whatever else was available) sold for 5 centavos (6 cents Canadian). As foreign visitors, we were treated to VIP seats in what they refer to as their PENA section. These were located in the first three rows between home plate and the dugouts and provided an excellent line-of-sight to the action on the diamond. The playing field was elegantly manicured but, despite the VIP designation, the seats were anything but comfortable. Washroom facilities were as decrepit as I have ever witnessed and one tended to hold back for as long as possible without having to make a return visit. Police and military personnel were everywhere but that did not deter the animated Cuban fans from shouting and expressing their feelings toward the opposing team and the disputed umpire calls. Whatever vocal expression these affectionate Cuban fans held back regarding their political and economic system for fear of reprisal, they freely released in other ways within the safety of the ballpark milieu. They rarely were silent like North American fans and fully utilized the freedom of expression allowed citizens at such an outlet. No line-up programs, no scorecards nor team yearbooks are available and it is even difficult to retain your ticket stub as a souvenir since ticket takers tend to keep both halves. In spite of this only being a regularly scheduled league game, the atmosphere was electric and the exuberance of the Cuban fans was really something to witness. One would have thought that this was a sudden death playoff game with all this on-the-edge-of-your-seat enthusiasm and crowd reaction. Clapping cheers, whistle and percussion noise were abound. There are no commercial messages between innings but Cuban music blasts over the speakers while the defensive team takes the field and warms up. At Calixto Garcia Stadium, a roaming band of musicians continually marches around the walkway perimeter separating the lower level seats from those above. While I was wandering this walkway during the game and shooting photos, enthusiastic Cubano fans were standing in the aisles, loudly cheering the great plays made by both teams and inundating me with shots of Cuban rum which I was expected to down chug-a-lug style. By the end of the shooting session, I had to acknowledge the power of both the fans and the rum that had entered my bloodstream (and I am not normally a rum drinker). These fans were not only full of fervor but they really did understand the intricate strategies used by both teams. When all is said and done, the Cubano style of baseball is primarily fundamental, station-to-station baseball wherein sacrifice bunting, well executed squeeze plays, timely base stealing as well as a hit and run style offense have a more prominent role in manufacturing runs than in playing for the extra base hit. The foul poles in this stadium have thin florescent tubes running vertically end-to-end along the actual fair/foul demarcation. At the end of 5 complete innings, a mini-skirted clad lady walks to home plate with a tray of cold beverages for the 4 umpires to consume. The bat boys for both the home team Holguin Sabuesos (Hounds) and the powerhouse Industriales Blues from Havana were old men, probably veteran ballplayers who still have a great love of the game and the clubhouse life. Each time a run scores, all offensive players leave the dugout and high-five the team mate who has just crossed the plate. Following this game, I left the ballpark with a renewed vigor, reminiscent of my youthful enthusiasm . But this was only a prelude of what was to follow.
Unbeknownst to me at the beginning of my trip to Cuba, each provincial team plays a few of their home games in some of the more rural areas, at small antiquated facilities, in order to give fans there an opportunity to see their team play. Think of it in terms of the Saskatchewan Roughriders scheduling a game in Gopher Muscle or Buggywhip. Such a scenario was presented to me on Sunday afternoon, January 21/2007 when the Holguin squad left their spacious stadium in a city of 350,000 to play a home game at rundown "Estadio Mariana Comacho Romero" in the small town of 1500 inhabitants referred to as Rafael Freyre or Santa Lucia. I was able to taxi to this venue but, as I failed to arrive early, all of the 500 or so dilapidated seats were long gone. Not only that but a perimeter lined litany of spectators standing up to 5 deep in most spots surrounded the entire infield and outfield fences bringing the estimated crowd base to around 5000, a monumental feat considering that this sleepy hollow town itself had only a fraction of the total fan count. Only a few 1950's vehicles (still miraculously in running condition) were present. The multitude of fans had arrived primarily on foot but also via bicycles, tractors, oxen drawn carts, horse drawn buggies, in the back of 3 ton trucks standing up nose-to-nose like cattle packed in for the slaughter house and on horseback or mule. Cattle, pigs, goats, sheep and chickens freely roamed the area. Fans were literally hanging out of trees - I counted 13 in one tree alone - and on the rooftops of the abandoned buildings and shabby schools in the immediate area. People were hanging off of any and every conceivable thing that improved their line of sight. Rum bottles were freely exposed and the contents consumed without any trepidation of police intervention. However, those who over-indulged and created havoc were involuntarily escorted from the stands and driven to the local constabulary in the old Russian built Ladas used by the police force. Fan reaction, however, was no less enthusiastic than within the confines of Calixto Garcia Stadium. Players from both the Industriales and Holguin teams displayed a high level of skill. This excellence of quality of play in the Cuban National League and its importance to both the individual fan and the collective psyche of Cuban society is inescapable.
As eloquent as I have tried to be with my words, the Cuban passion for baseball is really beyond description. One has to see it to believe it ... not only see it but hear it, smell it, taste it and feel it, and you can absolutely use all five senses in experiencing it. It's a baseball purist's delight and brings back fond memories of what baseball in western Canada and most of North America was like 55 - 60 years ago. Even when a group of boys congregate on a street corner to play stickball or gather on a dusty sandlot for a pick-up game, it creates "magic in the air" and passers-by will slow down or stop whatever they're doing to enjoy the spirit of the moment. What I will always remember about this experience is the incredible passion of the fans, the solid fundamentals and the tremendous skill level displayed by these athletes, the infectious schoolboy zeal of the players who freely banter with the fans and outwardly enjoy the simple games of "playing catch" and "pepper" in stark contrast to the spoiled, can't-be-bothered-with-the-fans arrogance which is constantly on display in Major League ballparks and, most importantly, what I perceived as the fun that these Cuban players appeared to be having in representing their province and country. After all, isn't baseball supposed to be a fun game? Only in Cuba you say? Pity!
Awesome post!
Looks like a book in the making.
Keep us posted. If you have lots more to say, I can set you up with your own category.
MR. PUBLISHER/CHEZNECK, an excellent story and experience. I too have become a cuban beisbol fan attending my first game at the MATANZAS ESTADIO VICTORIA in JAN., 1979.
I see in your article that we were in CUBA at the same time this year. I was at the MTZ. HENEQUERNOS game on Jan. 17. They played CAMAGUEY and won. My cuban friends take me to the games in their ''' white knuckle ''' taxi , a 19?? studebaker and I pay for the admission tickets, 1 peso CUP, 5 cents CDN each.
Standby, the BRANDON, MANITOBA JUNIOR WORLD CHAMPION baseball series story coming next, re #10 , 3rd base cuban player.

White Noise
Hey! What have you been listening to lately? Here's what's on my rotation:
There is only one sound which grates on the nerves more than 12 Hours of White Noise and that sound is a newborn's cry. Thank you Evolution for making sure I never forget her in the cave. POINT TAKEN.
In addition to the vacuum, stick blender and electric toothbrush, I have also employed the hair dryer. Since it is still very much winter around here the extra heat felt nice but seemed wasteful. Cue internet, a google search and a symphony of static. Speaking of googling – what exactly is white noise for babies?
A gimmick.
Steph, neighbor and fellow mother-of-two, recently shared how the second child can make you humble. So true. Arlo used my breasts for sleep. He used them for everything but most definitely he used them for sleep. While it was exhausting for me, it was simple and I thought, universal. This second child will not be lulled by something so . . . quiet. What worked for one is not working for the other, hence the humility. I need a whole new arsenal for a whole new parenting experience and it looks like it's going to include ear plugs.

Abstract : The aim of this paper is to present some modifications of the orbits generation algorithm of discrete dynamical systems. The first modification is based on introduction of a perturbation mapping in the standard Picard iteration used in the orbit generation algorithm. The perturbation mapping is used to alter the orbit during the iteration process. The second modification combines the standard Picard iteration with the iteration which uses the perturbation mapping. The obtained patterns have unrepeatable structure and aesthetic value. They can be used for instance as textile patterns, ceramics patters or can be used in jewellery design.
Keywords : dynamical system orbit perturbation mapping aesthetic pattern

"Though it's typically easy enough for a collector to differentiate between various categories of watches, sussing out the technical definition of each of these categories is admittedly a more involved process. What precisely constitutes a dive watch, or a pilot's watch? Is there a particular water resistance that must be met if a watch is meant to be used underwater, or a specific altitude or barometric pressure at which a pilot's watch must be able to operate?
The International Organization for Standardization provides some help in answering these questions. ISO (which is not an acronym, but derived from the Greek isos, meaning "equal") is an international body comprised of representatives from various national standards organizations whose purpose is to set international standards and guidelines for products and services. There are 162 member countries and funding is provided through a combination of organizations that manage specific products, subscriptions from member bodies, and the sale of standards."

This weekend Alyssa and I were lucky enough to be in NYC and had a wonderful date at the MET. Wandering through the "visible storage" section, full of just amazing works of furniture and carved chests, I came across a very small display of treenware. Several turned bowls, and two spoons. Two objects caught my eye. The small bowl/porringer below seemed to bare the marks of treadle lathe turning. The long, thin handle made it feel more like a scoop than a bowl. As the stem joined the bowl below the rim and the bottom of the stem angled up slightly, I imagine it would not have been bad to hold, cupping the bowl in your palm and bringing your thumb over the top of the stem. Still, not much to hold onto. Maybe 6" across and 2.5" tall. Dates from somewhere between 1700 and 1900.
You can also see small 6" plates on display on the lower shelf.
You can also see a large burlwood bowl in the background with a crack in the rim, also turned.
I think what was amazng for me was to see how little woodware was on display, compared to the ceramics and metalwork. It really illustrated to me how rare historical examples of woodware is.

Despite having spent several years designing frameworks and specifications based around the notion of dependency injection, I've never especially considered myself a big fan of the whole thing. Dependency injection strikes me as more of a fashion within one particular programming community than as some enduring pattern that will be reproduced in future languages by future framework designers.
Indeed, popular patterns sometimes point to some kind of inflexibility at the language level. So I've often asked myself precisely what missing language-level feature makes this particular pattern so appealing. The only answer I've ever really come up with is that dependency injection is a work around for the fact that instantiation, unlike method invocation, is not a polymorphic operation in most (all?) object-oriented languages. Instantiation operations hardcode the concrete class being instantiated, requiring the use of some kind of factory method in code that should be abstracted from the concrete type. Dependency injection frameworks exist to tame the profusion of factory methods.
In Ceylon, member class refinement makes instantiation a polymorphic operation at the language level, but it only works for member types. I think it's a very useful and interesting feature of the language, but it's hard to see it replacing dependency injection. Of course, in theory, you could define all your classes as members of some container class, but I just don't see that idiom catching on!
So an idea I have for a far-future version of the language is to allow refinement of toplevel declarations. This would all work out along the same lines as member class refinement. You could imagine a package which declares a default or formal toplevel class, for example:
//in package my.stream shared formal class Buffer(Stream stream) { shared formal Byte read(); }
(We would also allow formal and default toplevel methods and attributes, of course.)
Notice again the difference between formal and abstract in Ceylon: a formal class may be instantiated. An abstract class may not be instantiated. A formal toplevel member makes the containing package an
abstract package. An abstract toplevel class does not. By now you should be seeing why we truly do need two different annotations here.
Anyway, the point here is that other code in our package would be able to create and use a Buffer, without depending upon any concrete subclass.
//also in package my.stream shared void open(Stream stream) { Buffer buffer = Buffer(stream); ... Byte b = buffer.read(); ... }
Now, before we actually make use of this package we must
fill in the definition of the formal member. I could imagine that one way to do this might be to use the import statement:
//in package your.backend import my.stream { actual class Buffer(Stream stream) extends super.Buffer(stream) { shared actual Byte read() { ... } } Stream, open }
But I imagine a more common scenario would be reuse of a package via package extension. I'm not quite sure what the syntax for this would look like, probably something in the module descriptor declaring that one package extends a second package. Then an actual toplevel member would fill in the definition of Buffer:
//in package my.stream.fileio actual class Buffer(Stream stream) extends super.Buffer(stream) { shared actual Byte read() { ... } }
I'm not completely certain, but I expect that one additional facility is needed: the ability to rewire inter-package references in the module descriptor. For example, in the package your.backend, you might import my.stream, but then the module descriptor would declare that references to the abstract package my.stream are actually fulfilled by the package my.stream.fileio.
Well, all this is really just speculation for now, and I haven't even really put any thought into how you could map all this to the JVM. But I think you can sort of see how this could be an alternative to dependency injection. What I especially like about it is how it makes the Ceylon language even more regular, while adding useful capabilities.
I have a gnawing feeling that this idea should be somehow related to how modules work in ML. But after a couple of attempts, I still don't feel like I really totally get ML's module system. It's something I definitely need to put more time into.

Summertime is holiday time. But also in home regions many people are drawn to the beach, the swimming lake or open-air pool when the weather is nice. But what should normally be enjoyable fun can end unpleasantly: A broken piece of glass in the sand or slippery rocks can lead to unpleasant injuries.
Every year many people suffer injuries from glass fragments that come from carelessly discarded bottles and which are hidden in the sand or grass. Especially children are at danger, as they often run barefoot and don't pay attention where they walk.
Do yourself and others a favour and make sure you don't leave any glass bottles or any other dangerous objects behind you, but dispose of them in the nearest waste bin.
If you step on a glass fragment by accident in most cases it comes to a deep cut injury that usually bleeds severely. Depending on the severity of the injury you can treat it yourself, or it has to be treated by a doctor.
This is important to reduce the hazard of infections. If you should have a skin disinfectant at hand then clean the injury with it.
As with cut injuries also deeper skin layers are injured, the danger of scar formation is especially high. Therefore, after the acute injury has healed the damaged location should be regularly treated with Contractubex. The unique combination of active pharmaceutical agents activates the body's own healing process and supports the formation of unobtrusive and hardly visible scars.
Contractubex® Composition: 100 g gel contains: 10.0 g Extr. cepae, 5000 IU heparin sodium, 1.0 g allantoin. Indications: Hypertrophic and keloidal scars, movement-restricting and cosmetically disfiguring scars after operations, amputations, burns, and accidents; contractures such as Dupuytren's contracture and traumatic tendon contractures; cicatricial strictures. Contraindications: Hypersensitivity to parabens. Side effects: Very rare skin reactions. Mode of action: Contractubex® exerts an antiproliferative, antiinflammatory, softening, and smoothing action on proliferating scar tissue. Dosage: Unless otherwise prescribed, Contractubex® should be gently massaged into the skin several times a day until all the gel has been absorbed. In the case of hardened older scars, it may be necessary to cover the treated area with a dressing overnight. Interactions: None known. Package sizes: 20 g, 50 g.

British surfing and of the evolution of surfboard design. The board is now in it's forties, no longer in the best shape and permanently beached for its own sake. A fish without water seems morally wrong, so a few years back my then three-year old daughter re-christened it with a few waves.'
By Nicholas Charles Williams, Newquay.
After the conest was over,many were even more put off by the contest scene, and surf travelling and exploration became alot more popular. The British team took part in this contest, and surfer shapers like Steve Harewood, Charles Williams, Graham Nile and Chris Jones all took note of the twin keel fish and some put them immediately into production, notably Steve Harewood at Freedom.
This Wavecraft could be the link. Jason who used to own this board says- 'I believe Hawiian Jimmy Blears who was world champ in 1972 (the one where someone stole and then nailed David Nuuhiwa fish to the pier) shaped at Wavecraft for a while in the early 70's and I presume his influence had something to do with the template on this board as it is miles off any other fish i have seen from around this era.'
So if this is right, Jimmy Blears came over to Cornwall, with a board/s , befriended Pete Mitchell who was basically a one man show at Wavecraft in north Cornwall, and either shaped some boards , gave designs or mabye even gave his board as a template. The resulting boards, like this green beauty are very accomplished for the time (1973ish ) and have a definite Blears/Lis influence.

Arians says Chris Johnson takes physical with Cardinals
PHOENIX (AP) Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians says running back Chris Johnson has taken a physical but said it was up to general manager Steve Keim and Johnson's agent whether a contract would follow.
Johnson, who turns 30 next month, played last year with the New York Jets after spending his first six NFL seasons with the Tennessee Titans.
He would give the team a veteran back behind Andre Ellington.
Rookie running back David Johnson has been out with a hamstring injury since the second day of training camp but was to practice on a limited basis Monday.
Ellington, slowed by an injured foot last season, had a 57-yard catch from Carson Palmer early in the Cardinals' 34-19 loss to Kansas City in their preseason opener on Saturday night.

The third Showtime Edition of the popular retro party series Footloose took place at the Mas Camp, Stadium North in St Andrew recently.
Aside from the musical selections that patrons have come to expect, the additional attraction of Sizzla Kalonji's live performance raised the bar even further.
"I would say that Sizzla's performance was the highlight; the patrons loved him. Some patrons came out just to see him perform, while some of our loyal patrons were anticipating his performance," said promoter Tyrone Dixon of Broadway Productions.
For Sizzla's set — which was laced with hit songs including Give it to Dem, Pump Up Har, Just One of Those Days and Thank U Mama — patrons could not resist capturing it on their smartphones.
Prior to Sizzla's performance and after his set, DJs Kurt Riley and Arif Cooper demonstrated why they are among the most in demand in their field. Each blazed a musical inferno which took patrons on a stroll down memory lane.
Aside from great retro music, patrons also enjoyed special bucket deals from Stones Ginger Wine, title sponsor of the event.

Department of Aerospace Engineering, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802
To aid in the investigation of artificially generated turbulent spots a technique was developed to make instantaneous measurements of full velocity profiles in an unsteady water boundary layer. These profiles were used to document the unsteady behavior of scalar descriptors such as the displacement thickness. The classical hydrogen bubble flow visualization technique was augmented to yield quantitative information by incorporating digital image processing of videotaped boundary layer flow. Digital images were converted into velocity fields using a corrected time-of-flight technique. The capability and limitations of this method in both steady and unsteady flows have been verified using an analytical uncertainty analysis and through comparison with laser-Doppler anemometry measurements. Recommendations are made for effective use of this technique.

"May I never boast of anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world." (Galatians 6:14)
Does it surprise you that one of the "red letter" days on the Church calendar is Holy Cross Day? These days are usually reserved for the likes of the original disciples of Jesus and the four Gospel writers, the days of Holy Week, and the Day of Pentecost. But the Holy Cross gets its own red-letter day - this day - September 14. The date goes back to the dedication of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem on 14 September 335, after the church was built on the site where the True Cross was believed to be found in 326 by Helena, mother of Constantine, after she made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land to discover historic Christian sites.
On this day, we remember that an instrument of "shameful death" became an instrument of life and salvation. The cross was not the last word; Jesus was raised as the Christ, thus assuring victory over death. "And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself." (John 12:32)
The cross also reminds us that dying is a necessary part of this life. We die to thinking that life revolves around us. We die to the ego... the False Self... so that we might be given new life in Christ. Every time we choose to love someone, and - in the process - make ourselves vulnerable, we experience a certain kind of dying. If you have ever been married or a parent, you know what I am talking about. If you have ever sacrificed something for a close friend, you know what I am talking about.
The cross reminds us that dying is not only part of life... dying is the pathway to real life.
Paul wrote, in the quote above, that it was by the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ that "the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world." When we decide to become disciples of Jesus and call him our Lord, then everything else falls back... everything else takes a (distant) second place to Christ. We have died to all these things: family, country, being right, possessions, worldly views of success, being our own highest authority... any and all of it. It is the cross before all of these things.
We - like Jesus at the time of his Passion - are willing to let others act upon us, and even kill us, "... because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus our Lord." (Philippians 3:8)
The cross not only reminds us of God's amazing love for us. The cross also reminds us that in dying, we live. (see 2 Corinthians 6:9). The cross reminds us that suffering is part of life, and that there is indeed such a thing as redemptive suffering.
I will conclude with the Collect for the Tuesday of Holy Week:
"O God, by the passion of your blessed Son you made an instrument of shameful death to be for us the means of life: Grant us so to glory in the cross of Christ, that we may gladly suffer shame and loss for the sake of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.'
(The Book of Common Prayer, p. 220)

If you're someone who likes to pay for airfare with a debit card, please stop what you're doing and read this post. Sure, you can pay online for airfare by using your debit card instead of the digits to your favorite rewards card, but there are some pretty compelling reasons not to.
#1: You could be missing out on valuable travel insurance perks.
The first reason to use credit cards when you pay for airfare is all of the valuable insurance products you may have with certain travel credit cards. If you pay with a premier Chase travel card, for example, you'll have access to trip cancellation/interruption insurance that will reimburse you if your trip is cancelled or delayed for reasons beyond your control.
My husband had to use this coverage once when we were stranded in Jamaica once over inclement weather. Because we had paid for our airfare with an Ink business card, we were reimbursed for two additional nights in our hotel plus travel expenses.
If we had paid with our debit card, we wouldn't have had this coverage at all since we didn't have a broader travel insurance policy like we do now.
In addition to trip cancellation/interruption insurance, many travel cards offer additional perks like lost luggage reimbursement, emergency evacuation and transportation coverage, and travel and emergency assistance. If you have a card with these benefits, all you have to do is pay for your airfare and travel plans with the card to qualify for this coverage.
#2: You're not earning any rewards.
Another very obvious reason to use a credit card is to rack up points and miles. Top travel credit cards like the Chase Sapphire Reserve offer 3x points on all your travel expenses, and co-branded airline credit cards tend to offer 2x miles for airfare purchases, too.
At the very least, sign up for a cash-back credit card that offers 1.5% or more cash-back. If you're not using any kind of rewards credit card, you're missing out on the perks listed above and a free sum of cash back for every dollar you spend.
#3: Debit purchases are riskier for online purchases.
Finally, I won't make any online purchases with a debit card — not even a gift or something small for myself. Debit cards are riskier to use online because they come with fewer protections over all.
According to the Federal Trade Commission, the most you can be liable for when someone makes a fraudulent charge with a credit card is $50. However, the majority of cards offer zero liability coverage, meaning you're not responsible for a dime you didn't spend.
With debit cards, on the other hand, your responsibility can be huge for fraudulent charges if you miss them on your account. Here's how it breaks down based on when you report it:
- Report within 2 business days after you learn about the loss or theft: $50
- Report more than 2 business days after you learn about the loss or theft, but less than 60 calendar days after your statement is sent to you: $500
- Report more than 60 days after your statement was sent to you: You can lose all the money from your account, and possibly more; for example, you could also lose money in accounts linked to your debit account. No thanks.
Do you always use a credit card to pay for airfare? Why or why not?

This document describes an extension to NHRP [1] which would allow
Mobile NHCs to perform a registration with and attach to an NHS in
their home LIS in an authenticated manner.
As described in this document, Mobile NHCs are NHCs which are not
configured with enough information to find a specific serving NHS in
their home LIS, but which have a mechanism to find an NHS (which may
or may not be a serving NHS) to which they will attach. As described
in [1], an NHC may attach to a 'surrogate' NHS by using a mechanism
such as an anycast address. In this case, the NHC may use the
surrogate NHS to send a NHRP Registration Request toward the NHC's
home LIS where a serving NHS resides. However, as defined in [1],
packet authentication is performed on a hop by hop basis. In the
mobile NHC case, it is not practical for the mobile NHC be in a
security relationship with every surrogate NHS, thus it is presumably
desirable to have some form of end to end only authentication for the
case of a mobile NHC's registration. This document describes an
authentication extension for NHRP which has such end to end only
1. Introduction
The keywords MUST, MUST NOT, REQUIRED, SHALL, SHALL NOT, SHOULD,
SHOULD NOT, RECOMMENDED, MAY, and OPTIONAL, when they appear in this

This document describes an extension for Mobile NHCs to use when they

serving NHS to do so. The reader is encouraged to read [1] for more

ZURICH, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Former FIFA vice president Chung Mong-joon's ban from soccer has been cut from five years to 15 months by sport's highest tribunal, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
CAS said that it had found "mitigating factors" to reduce the South Korean's ban, imposed for violating FIFA's code of ethics, and also annulled a fine of 50,000 Swiss francs ($53,197.15).
It said that, as the ban was initially imposed in October 2015, Chung was free to return to football activity immediately.
CAS agreed that Chung, who has denied all wrongdoing, was guilty of ethics violations but to "a far lesser degree than found by the FIFA instances".
Chung's plans to stand for the FIFA presidency were torpedoed in 2015 when the governing body banned him from all football-related activities for six years and fined him 100,000 Swiss francs following a probe into corruption.
FIFA's Appeals Committee subsequently reduced Chung's ban to five years and cut the fine in half.
Chung, a billionaire scion of South Korea's Hyundai industrial conglomerate, served as FIFA vice president from 1994 to 2011. ($1 = 0.9399 Swiss francs) (Writing by Brian Homewood in Berne; Editing by Clare Fallon)

I dont want a disconnect answer as in it takes 30 days to form a habit.
Which doesnt leave much of a answer, but try to connect it on my level please.
If you want to develop a habit of prayer and you do not have the Spirit of God, then you may as well become a Buddhist or a Hindu or a Muslim or a Jew. They have habits that they call prayer. If you want to walk with God, you need to walk in His Spirit.
- There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. (Romans 8:1–4)
- For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. (Romans 8:14)
- Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words. And he who searches the hearts of men knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. (Romans 8:26-27)
- Thus says the Lord: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches; but let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practice steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth; for in these things I delight, says the Lord." (Jeremiah 9:23-24)
In the book of Revelation, when speaking to the church at Ephesus, Lord Jesus Christ notes that they no longer have the same eagerness to be in His presence, because they have lost their first love.
- But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. (Revelation 2:4)
Consider the people you know, if you are in love with any, you will think of them frequently throughout the day. God is no different. Once you know Jesus as your Lord and Savoir, your love for Him should remain. I find it impossible not to have my thoughts orientated upon our Lord and Savior for much of the day—which is communion with God; that is, prayer.
- And he made from one every nation of men to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their habitation, that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel after him and find him. Yet he is not far from each one of us. (Acts 17:26-27)
- Hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us (Romans 5:5)
- We love, because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19)
Those who do not know God might have habits. They might think of habits. They might even think that a person who spends time waiting upon the presence of God as performing a ritualistic habit.
Those of us who love God, because we know the Son of God and possess the Holy Spirit, find prayer a pleasurable activity. This is because we are constantly thanking and praising God. Moreover, we are communing with God in our thoughts, as well as making intercession on behalf of other people, or making personal requests for our own needs. There there are times, when in solitude, we rest in God as we enjoy His presence—a practice, once accustomed, we can enjoy even in the company of other people.
If you find yourself enjoying being uplifted in the presence of God, developing what people call a habit is not difficult at all—addictions never are. Once you have learned to experience God's presence and begin to walk in His presence, you will find that it is easy to capture this presence even momentarily between other activities that require your attention.

Landline (Digital original)By: Rainbow Rowell (author)Paperback
Only 2 in stock
DescriptionWhat advice would you give the younger you...and would you listen? As far as time machines go, a magic telephone is pretty useless. TV writer Georgie McCool can't actually visit the past; all she can do is call it, and hope it picks up. Is she going crazy or is this a chance to make things right with her husband, Neal? Maybe she can fix the things in their past that seem unfixable in the present. Maybe this stupid phone is giving her a chance to start over...if that's what she wants... A heart-wrenching - and hilarious - take on fate, time, television and true love, Landline asks if two people are ever really on the same path, or whether love just means finding someone who will keep meeting you halfway.
About AuthorRainbow Rowell writes books about people who talk a lot. And people who feel like they're screwing up. And people who fall in love. They include ATTACHMENTS, ELEANOR & PARK and LANDLINE. She lives in Nebraska with her husband and two sons.

2008-09 GIRLS BASKETBALL: Staunton Bulldogs
STAUNTON -- For the second consecutive year under Troy Redfern, the Staunton Bulldogs are dealing with the injuries before stepping foot on the court.
Last season, the first under Redfern, the Bulldogs had to deal with injuries to Bethany Banovz (stress fracture) and Stephanie Darrah (torn ACL). Both returned in time for the 2007-08 season. Staunton can only hope they can get a return on point guard Brianna Rae (5-foot-10, soph.), who suffered a broken leg during the second day of practice.
"Unfortunately, I lost my sophomore point guard," said Redfern, whose Bulldogs were 7-18 a season ago. "But we have three starters returning and the rest of the team were reserves from last year's team.
"The loss of Rae reduces our depth considerably, but that's the way sports go. Injuries are a part of it."
Banovz and Darrah have since departed to graduation, but the Bulldogs will build around four-year starter in 5-11 senior Lauren Newbold, who led the Bulldogs in scoring average (11 points per game) and rebounding (7 per game).
Also returning are point guard Devin Painter (5-8, sr.), a three-year starter and guard Lika Hindl (5-9, sr.). Post players Kaitlyn Schrader (5-10, jr.) and Rachel Hadjan (5-10, jr.) are set in their positions, but sophomores Sam Senaldi and Courtney Darrah will battle for a starting role.
"We are extremely big and that is advantageous," Redfern said. "We also play fairly good defense.
"We need to see who can shoot it from the outside. That is something I am concerned about. Also, we need Lauren to stay out of foul trouble."
With only eight winning seasons out of 30, the Bulldogs are hoping to reverse their fortunes in what will be their final season in the South Central Conference East. Staunton will become a member of the Prairie State Conference for the 2009-10 school year.
"Our biggest obstacle is our schedule," Redfern said. "We (opened) with Southwestern (Tuesday), then (were) at Bunker Hill (Thursday night), play host to Carlinville (Saturday in the home opener), then get Triad on the road. That's not to mention the always tough SCC East Conference.
"If we can score some points, I think it could be a good year. We may surprise some teams."

Carrie Underwood on juggling motherhood and her career
We can't blame Carrie Underwood for being on hiatus recently after all, she did just have a baby. But as CMA Music Fest and her return to the stage draw closer and closer, the 32-year-old has a lot on her plate.
In addition to learning to be a mom, Underwood has also been working on new music, as well as her fashionable workout line, Calia by Carrie. The singer admits that staying in shape has proven more challenging since having Isaiah.
"Having a baby definitely changes your routine, and I have to work around his schedule," Underwood told People. "Whenever he goes to sleep, I do the things I need to do for myself and make workouts happen when they can."
It's been a while since any of us have seen the "Little Toy Guns" singer perform, but that doesn't mean she forgot about country music. Underwood recently tweeted that she has been working on new material, and she even got her little guy's approval.
"I really haven't taken that much time off because there are always things to do," Underwood added. "It's been really nice to be able to focus my attention on Isaiah and our family. It's been really good! But it's been really nice as well to be creative, working on music, working on Calia."
Of course, it hasn't been all work and no play for this country music superstar she recently took in a New Kids on the Block concert! Underwood will make her official comeback to the stage next week when she performs at the Grand Ole Opry on June 9, followed by performances on June 10 at the 2015 CMT Awards and June 13 at CMA Music Festival.

DIY follows bands from their very first gig to their most recent sold-out tour – with unique access to some of the world's biggest and best acts, we have fast become an integral part of the music discovery process for a new generation of artists and fans.
Paul McCartney asked DIY to sit in on a world exclusive interview, in which he discussed his '80s LP 'Pipes of Peace' in conversation with Manic Street Preachers' frontman James Dean Bradfield. After teasing his followers on social media yesterday, the Paul McCartney interview with DIY has gone live online this morning.
Paul McCartney is re-issuing 'Pipes of Peace' as part of his archive series, along with its unofficial companion album; the comparatively fraught and violent 'Tug of War'. Having disbanded his first post-Beatles band Wings to focus on his solo work, John Lennon was murdered half way through the album sessions for both 'Pipes for Peace' and 'Tug of War'. These two records came at a pivotal time in McCartney's life.
For James Dean Bradfield, who bought 'Pipes of Peace' aged 14, asking the former Beatles member about it was the dream pairing. Seated in the same London room where McCartney and Michael Jackson wrote their number one single 'Say Say Say,' together for the album, the two musicians discussed the lyrical vulnerability of 'Pipes of Peace,' and McCartney's experience trying to forge ahead with a solo career in the aftermath of The Beatles.

Before reading this you may want to make yourself a cuppa as its long one!
Well i woke up at 4.30 am and after a quick coffee was greeted by a waiting Yorkie in his car outside. On route to Steve's house we discussed with great excitement of the number of different species we could have come dusk tonight. We got to Steve's and jumped in and set off to Lakenheath with the clock reading 5.15am.On the way all a agreed that we would try our best to make sure we worked as a team and that we all got to see the bird to count it. Well first bird of the day was was a beauty...a cracking Barn Owl hunting over the fields just outside of Mulbarton. Herring Gull & Swift along with Blackbird and Magpie(5) were soon added.We were using the trusty sat nav to get us there as quick as poss but some how we ended up at Weeting Heath (think Steve had mixed up the post codes) but we all agreed while we here to crack on.
Weeting Heath -5.45
We immediately picked up Chiffchaff, Gold Finch & Chaff Finch( 8) and as entering the hide a Marsh Tit ( always a good bird to get). From the hide we got Crow, Jackdaw & Rook along with Lapwing, Pied Wagtail ,Kestrel ,Collar Dove,Stock Dove and Wood Pigeon(18). But unfortunately no Stone Curlew? We checked both hides out but no sign .After a while we decided to push on and pop back later. As we walked back to car we got Goldcrest x2 , Blue/Great Tit, Dunnock & Willow Warbler(23) from up in the Pine trees.Lakenheath- 7 am
In the car park we got gassin to some birders about the dip we had at Weeting heath . They began to tell us that they had picked the Stone Curlews up at first light from a different place not far away. So after a few noted directions we began to press on .Straight away a shout went out "Bittern flying"! We all got on it. ( another superb bird to get under yeh belt first thing in the day).That Bittern put us on number (24) for the day list.As we made our way up to the bank, we saw Whitethroat , Sedge & Reed Warblers and Reed Bunting over the reedbeds . We scanned out across the water and picked up Great Crested Grebe, Little Egret, Shoveler, Grey Heron ,Coot, Gadwell ,Tufted Duck, Moorhen, Garganey, Mistle Thrush , Common Buzzard , Wren, Swallow and a Common Tern along the river.A shout of "Cuckoo" from Steve as it past by us low and close was a nice spot. A nice male which flew off to the woods and called out its famous call for all to hear. We were then drawn towards the reedbeds on the left ,of a familiar reeling song.We all knew what it was but were we lucky enough to see it? After some good team work we began to track down the exact area it was in. I finally spotted it on a reed out in the open and then quickly flying into a nearby bush. I called the others over and we all got a good butchers of it, shaking its whole body as it produced that fantastic song. Grasshopper Warbler was our (44) bird of the day & bloody good one at that!
|Grasshopper Warbler
Onwards along the river bank we picked up only Marsh Harrier, Canadian /Greylag Geese. We made our way around the reeds, away from the river and spotted what i first thought was a distant Cuckoo, to be corrected by the lads as a Hobby! (This was a good example of where a good bit of team work comes in). A nice bird that we would later pick up with closer views. As we made our way down to the East & West woods to try for the Golden Oriole Yorkie spotted a Kingfisher flying over the reedbeds . We got on it and decided to sit on the bench opposite the woods and eat a baguette that Steve had made for us ( what a good chap!). We saw a few other birders around who said they could all hear it but not see it, which is usually the case. So we headed round to the other side along the railway track in hope of it showing. We spent around an hour there listening to this gorgeous, exotic bird singing away but doing its best to keep itself from our view. Then all of a sudden Yorkie gave that shout we had be waiting for " i`ve got it". A mad rush over to him but it had moved by the time we got our bins to our eye lids. Apparently Yorkie had it out in the open on a branch.(very jealous) As we eagerly carried on scanning i thought that i had a glimpse of it in flight,(although it was just for a second) only to see it land and turn out to be a Greater Spotted Woodpecker. But we carried on and after a while i did eventually see it. A quick view in flight but still a view and more importantly for me a Lifer! Golden Oriole was our (51) bird of the day.
|Popular Trees- home to the Golden Oriole
Foxhole Heath- 10.45
We pulled in and quickly scanned for Stone Curlews. No sign but did get Skylark and 2x WoodlLark.
Lackford Lakes- 11.00
We headed straight to the area where the Tree Sparrows are known to `hang out`. We checked the feeders and then in the bushes i spotted 2x Tree Sparrows and got the others on it. Pheasant was easily picked up and then Meadow Pipit in a tree. Yorkie then picked out a House Martin & i spotted a Turtle Dove (60)
along the wires over the fields. Lovely bird and only the second time i've seen one and first time perched, so i made sure i took a few moments to enjoy this cracking view along with the others.
|Turtle Dove
After following the directions we arrived at the Heath. Good Stone Curlew territory. We all scanned around and after about 20 minutes Yorkie picked up a Stone Curlew out in the open. My only other view of this splendid bird was at Weeting Heath last year on a blazing hot day which made for bad views with the heat haze so this was a real treat. As i scanned across to digi scope a picture i spotted a Green Woodpecker (62)just making its way along the ground . Another cracking view too and nice for me & Steve to get it as Yorkie had already picked one up earlier at Weeting Heath. We got back on the road to try for the Lesser Spotted Woodpecker.
|Stone Curlew
We parked up & poured ourselves a nice cuppa coffee and tucked into some of Steve's cracking Baguettes( this time a Beef and salad- good choice Steve!) and spoke about where we needed to go . As we made our way to the bridge we saw a Spotted Flycatcher . A cracking bird that i had not expected to get today so a real bonus bird.It was typical Flycatcher, flying off and returning to the branch and sitting out in the open. Super!
|Spotted Flycatcher
|Mandarin Duck(228)
|Singing Blackcap
As we got to the chosen area a fantastic Hobby went overhead with the sun hitting it as it went. Absolutely super ! A good bird to see again. We got to the tree and found the small hole .Set up & waited patiently. Well we think it must have been sitting on eggs as we saw no sign of either male or female . The only bit of excitement was when Steve saw a Great Tit fly into a hole next to the Lesser`s hole. We had given it 45 minutes and decided to walk back. As we did we got a couple more Marsh Tits and a Wren as the rain came.We got back to the car a bit wet and headed for the North Norfolk coast. On route we got Jay, Green Finch, House Sparrow and Grey Partridge giving us a totall of (73) birds. We popped in to see if we could get the Montagu`s Harrier but no joy but did get nice views of displaying Common Buzzards and a Sparrowhawk (74)
Choseley Barns- 5.05 pm
We pulled up and checked the ground and wires but no sign of the bunting. Then we heard .... "a little bit of bread and no cheeseeeee` call from the tree opposite (that's from watching too much Bill Oddie!).A Yellow Hammer was sitting on top of it. After getting on it i looked backed at the wires further down the fields and saw something on em. Steve & Yorkie both agreed that it looked very much what we had come for but wanted a closer look to confirm it. Out come the scope and yes it was a Corn Bunting. As we all got a butchers in the scope it gave us a minute of its song, that jangling of keys ( that's enough of Mr Oddie ). We also got a Robin (77) on the gate as we drove off to Titchwell.
Titchwell- 5.50 pm
We parked up towards the far end of the car park as Steve said that this was a known spot for Lesser Whitethroat. We tucked into our final baguette of the day a cheese with tomato & a nice onion garnish (my particular favourite of the day) anyway back to the birds ! We waited no more then a couple minutes before we were treated to a couple of glimpses of a Lesser Whitethroat .From the car park we got Greater Black Backed Gull and views of common shrub birds. We made our way up to the main path and checked the reedbeds for possible Bearded Tits but as the lads said it was probably a bit too windy for em. We soon got Oystercatcher & Brent Geese (81) flying over along with more Swallows, House Martins but sadly no Sand Martins(after much looking). We then got our way into the Island Hide. On the water was Avocet, Black Tailed Godwits, 2x cracking Pintails, Pochard & 2x Teal . On the Scrape were Turnstone, Widgeon, Dunlin, Redshank ,Little Grebe, Lesser Black Backed Gull and a Common Sandpiper. The lads also got a Ruff but unfortunately i missed it and we were unable to pick it up again. Then the lads spotted a Little Stint between the two scrapes. A good spot and only the second time i`d seen one. Then i had a Sandpiper to the right of the hide ,resting up near the reeds. Yorkie got on it with Steve and identified it as a Green Sandpiper (95).
|Black Tailed Godwit
|Common Sandpiper
|Temmincks Stint (229)
|Little Ringed Plover
Hunstanton Cliffs- 8.30 pm
We got down to the cliff tops and were given Feral Pigeon overhead and then a gorgeous Fulmar standing on the cliff top. There were at least 5 seen as the sunset -A nice bird to end the day on.As we drove home and chatted about the days birds the lads saw a Little Owl fly across em. Unfortunately i was sitting in the back and missed it.
|Hunstanton Cliffs- home to the Fulmar
It was a really fantastic day with lots of good memories to remember. Thanks to Steve for driving (and providing the pukka Baguettes) & to Yorkie too.So hears to next years!

.....and did I mention rain. I so wish this would have been spread over the summer, but there's always next year. My 1 week tally is close to 7inches. This weeks rainstorms have also brought a cool front, we have temps in the 70's brrrrrr... feels so cool and fall/wintery. Brought out my big jackets for this.
Even the Yuccas are appreciating the cooler temps and sending up flower stalks
Still bummed that the official tally of 100+ days has ended at 68. That's 2 shy of a record and seems like a waste... and no, we don't have to go for a repeat performance next year. I would appreciate a summer where I can go out in the garden for more than 5min intervals.
Back to the rain....its been slow and steady, and the ground is soaking up every drop. Trees that looked half dead a month ago, is now getting fresh foliage. Its like a new beginning.
Since the plumbago had been doing very well despite our deplorable conditions this summer I have spread some babies around. this new rain is helping them adjust to their new homes quickly. I have been thinking and looking for inspiration, browsing the net for cool new plants to add. Have only made some bulb purchases. Daffodils and Alliums...when we get closer to the holiday season, I'll check the stores for some amaryllis. They are really wonderful in the yard.
pomegranates. The tree is almost flat to the ground COVERED in fruits. Even had new flowers on one of the trees, wonder if we'll get any fruits from them.

Many clients come to see me to update their trust, often from out of state, or with a trust drafted by another attorney. However, I find that they often have not completed the process of "funding" their trust.
When you set up a revocable or living trust, you are setting up a trust that exists during your lifetime. You may have done so for estate tax planning purposes, or perhaps to avoid probate.
However, if you do not actually change the title or ownership of your assets into the name of your trust, you are generally not avoiding probate. That means that if you pass away, someone will still have to open an estate at the courthouse and administer your estate (filing court documents, accountings, publishing a creditor's notice, etc.) in every state and county where you own real estate, and handle every bank account in your personal name through your probate estate.
So, please remember to make sure your attorney prepares and records a deed transferring the property from you to yourself as trustee of your trust. And, make sure to retitle your bank accounts to yourself as trustee of your trust.

Retitling Real Estate and Bank Accounts into Your Trust

That is correct. IF YOU DO NOT RETITLE your real estate and bank accounts, someone would still have to go through an estate at the courthouse (probate). One goal of establishing a trust is usually to avoid the court probate process. However, I find too often that people skip this very important step.ReplyDelete

I'm going to keep this short because the impetus that drove me to start this blog has waned, and I'm waiting for it to come back. Doing anything whilst dealing with depression is like dancing in the ocean. When the current is with you, it sweeps you along, adding grace to your movements. When the current is against you, the waves wrap around you, dragging you down into a death-defying kiss. Nevertheless, we persist, don't we?
I watched Sarah Silverman's new special on Netflix last week. I was blessed to get to see her live at the Super Secret show, maybe a year ago? Probably more. Anyway, she was amazing and I figured the special would be great, so I watched it even though I try not to do anything stand-up related when I'm not at work.
The special opens with a joke in which Sarah's sister, drunk and puking in the toilet, thinks she's being raped, only to find out that she pooped herself. Spoiler alert. (That's how those work, right?) Sarah then goes on to analyze not only the audience's reaction to the punchline — that their laughter is based on relief, rather than mirth, and then she ends the bit by observing that the only time a person would be happy to find out they're shitting themselves is when they at the same time realize that they're not being raped.
The bit is classic Sara Silverman; dirty, shocking, and surprisingly thoughtful and thought-provoking. The entire special lives up to that, and I like the transition that she has made since her last special. She has dropped the character of Sarah Silverman, the unreliable narrator, the racist, sexist airheaded girl, and has, without any warning, emerged as a smart, funny, empathetic, intelligent woman.
The special is for sure more personal, more dimensional, and therefore more deeply funny than anything else I've seen from her, aside from her book, "The Bedwetter". I read it several years ago, and I think she opens with a silly foreword written by her stage persona, and I remember thinking that that voice was going to get really old, really fast. Then the actual book was written out of character, and I loved it.
When I saw her live, her mother had just died two months previously. She had some jokes she wanted to do about her mom, so to get into the material as quickly as possible, she dropped the dead mom bomb on us, and then paused, and then ever so gently said, "It's your fault", immediately breaking the tension. Masterful crowd manipulation.
I half watched her special to see if that stuff was in there, but it wasn't. I don't blame her. I couldn't even talk about my mom for a full two years (at least) after she died without crying. But in the special, she does talk about her family and talks about the humiliation of attending camp as a bedwetter and then makes fun of her dad for thinking that that would be a good idea. She immediately follows that up with exquisite insight into why her dad did send her to camp, even though she was a bedwetter.
I think the most overwhelming and humbling thing about her special is just the core of sweetness that she has been hiding behind that dirty, bigoted character for so long. I've always found her likable, even when I couldn't necessarily get behind her character, but I loved her after I read her book, and I loved her even more after seeing her live, and I love her even more after watching her latest special.
Maybe that's the wrong takeaway after watching a comedy special, but there was something so endearingly vulnerable about watching her tell jokes without hiding behind the protection of irony. It made the jokes more immediate, they hit harder, and — I don't know. It's the same reason I love watching Jackie Kashian. Everything she says is ferociously and unapologetically real.
Even though a situation is presented in a funny way, the core of pain or humiliation or confusion is right there, intensifying the contrast between the discomfort and the whimsy. I have a lot of favorite comedians and a lot of favorite jokes and I have an appreciation for pretty much every style of comedy. But there's just something about fearlessly attacking unfettered pain with humor that doesn't just make me laugh, but reminds me of what it means to be human.
So, I liked it.

Energy Trends Point to Unique Opportunities for Investors
Published: 10-Jan-2002
OAKLAND, Calif. Jan. 9, 2002-- The hydrogen infrastructure, carbon nanotubes, and the "Energy Web" are three of the leading clean-technology opportunities for investors, according to a new report.
"Clean-Energy Markets: Five Trends to Watch in 2002," a free report from Clean Edge, Inc. (www.cleanedge.com) -- a leading market research and consulting firm focused on clean-technology -- describes a variety of issues that have aligned to offer unique opportunities in the clean-energy sector. They include security issues, energy uncertainty, the need for power reliability, technological advances, environmental issues, the rise of the developing world, and investment commitments by government, corporations, and venture capitalists. The report reveals five trends to watch in the near- to mid-term:
- The Energy Web: the emerging marriage of the energy, telecom, and software sectors that is creating a whole new breed of "smart" appliances, buildings, and vehicles
- The Hydrogen Infrastructure: the assemblage of products, services, and systems that will enable the manufacture, storage, and transportation of hydrogen for use in stationary and portable fuel cells
- Bringing Solar to Scale: the mass commercialization and build-up of large-scale solar-cell manufacturing that will result in significant economies of scale
- The Microtization of Fuel Cells: the application of micro fuel cells for use in a wide range of portable electronic devices including cell phones, personal digital assistants, and laptop computers
- Carbon Nanotubes: tiny fabricated tube-shaped molecules that are optimal for hydrogen storage -- and are getting close to commercial viability.

[UPDATE 8:02 p.m.] Missing Eureka Boy Seen in Arcata Yesterday, Says Family
According to the sister of a 14-year-old boy, Jesus Tejeda, missing since October 27 when he was dropped off at Eureka High School, he has been seen in Arcata.
Mariana Tejeda tell us that Jesus was seen yesterday between 2:40 and 3 p.m. According to a new posting on her Facebook page that she directed us to, "Three witnesses state that they saw Jesus walking from the CVS parking lot in Arcata and headed in the direction of the plaza.Jesus did not dispute his identity and told the witnesses that he had spoken to his family, which is not true. Jesus was with a male in his 20's with a beard and a ball cap."
Mariana said that that the family is asking that if anyone sees Jesus, "Please call 911 immediately..my brother could be at risk."
If anyone has any less urgent information, they can call the private investigator, Chris Cook at (707) 839-7422 or the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office at (707) 445-7251.
UPDATE 3:30 p.m.: I spoke to Chris Cook, the investigator. She said that the witness called her "immediately" after speaking with the person she believed to be Jesus. Cook said the witness was extremely credible. "They called me first thing," she said. "They knew information that had not been released about how he looked."
In addition, Cook said there was a separate witness in Arcata around the same time who reported seeing Jesus to an Arcata Police officer.
She asked that people in the area please be on the lookout for the boy.
UPDATE 8:02 p.m.: Jesus Is Home!!!

I have loved creating a Book Advent Calendar for Boo this year… as much, if not more, as I loved making her one for last year! I just adore books and reading and I am so happy that Boo does too. So the lure of Boo opening a book each day for the whole of December is just impossible to resist. (and of course it means I get to do lots and lots of shopping for books through the year too – it's win win!!)
This year I seem to have gone a bit mad on the Christmas/Winter themed books – where as last year there was more of a balance between random books and Christmas/Winter ones. You can see what I did for Boo's Book Advent Calendar 2015 here. When I got all of the books out to decide on the order I was a little worried that it's Christmas overkill but we will see.
Some of the books I have recycled from last year – they were Christmassy themed ones and I knew they would still be suitable this year so I put them away in January. This was a great way to save some money, as let's face it 24 full priced books would be a little on the pricey side! I have also made the most of sales and tried to spread buying the books out over the year.
As with last year I have made sure there is an extra special one to open on her birthday – this year it's going to be Message in a Bottle – which I know she will love, My review of the book is going live next week so keep an eye out. I do feel like I have cheated a little bit as we have spent a couple of days reading it earlier this month but it's such a gorgeous book I really wanted it to be her birthday Book Advent Calendar book.
The full list (subject to me finding some really amazing books to swap in an out at the last minute – totally didn't do that last year *cough cough* is here.
Twenty Four Days to Christmas*
Topsy and Tim Meet Father Christmas
A Buzzy White Christmas*
Reindeer's Red Nose
One Snowy Rescue*
Lady and the Tramp
Magic Chair – The Search for Santa*
Jolly Christmas Postman
Santa's Sleigh
Happy Christmas Spot
Eliza Crisp and the Abominable Snow Company*
Message in a Bottle*
Is it Christmas Yet?*
Waiting for Santa*
The Snowman and the Snowdog (pop up editon)
The Magical Snow Garden*
The Storm Whale in Winter
The Velveteen Rabbit
Nursery Time with Winnie the Pooh
Where the Wild Things Are
The Night before Christmas*
And there you have it, 24 fab books for Boo's Book Advent Calendar, all I have to do now is find some wrapping paper I love and get wrapping!
Love our Book Advent Calendar? Why not pin this for later!
This post contains some books that we were sent free of charge for reviews this are marked with a *, however including them in this Book Advent Calendar has been entirely my own decision and as always all opinions and words are my own.

[TRANS] Reporter Who Exposed SM 10 Years Ago Tweets — Nothing Has Changed
Lee Sangho used to be a reporter of SisaMegazine2580 program of MBC which mainly dealt with Current Affair in/around society. He investigated and reported about the slave contract of SM while interviewing several people including H.O.T. members. He is currently on the leave of absence from his job.
[TRANS] I exposed the slave contracts of SM in year 2001. CEO Lee Sooman brought both a civil and a criminal action against me saying that it was not true but he lost. It has been 10 years since then, but the conflicts about slave contracts are unceasing and are even becoming a diplomatic problem (with the international community). Well. ^^
[TRANS] The singer Lee Eunmee who gave testimony about the slave contracts 10 years ago could not appear on broadcast for quite a while because of the pressure exerted by the mega entertainment companies on the broadcasting companies. The powers of these entertainment companies—how are they today?
