It's like having an affair; you want all the perks with none of the sacrifice. We all get to this point, sometimes, where we no longer care if we impress. Maybe because we're bored or apathetic or just worn out from doing whatever it is we once found so compelling, what we wanted others to know us for; out "it" factor.
But like with every affair, there are consequences to this attitude, and they can be so far reaching that calamity is a near certainty. This is especially true for us with diabetes if we choose that succeeding at living with this disease is no longer "impressive".
I have found myself at various times, wholly unconcerned with what others have thought of me, either personally, professionally, and with my daily management of type 1. And every time I have been there, I have woken up to the realization that my dismissiveness was all a front. I did care, and do care. I believe we all should, and not for the shallow image-boosting reasons. If we behave honestly then we are reflected in others assessment of us, regardless of how that takes shape. In order to handle life with diabetes, we need to see that image, in order to see our success, whether we like the picture or not.
Therefore, aim to impress, your doctor, your boss, your significant other, your children, your family, your friends, and especially yourself. Aim to be the best you can and desire that others see such and remark on it. This does not imply that you act in order to seek out praise, but simply the acknowledgement that you care to strive, if not for yourself, then, for them.
I know this is a reverse thought for the hyper-vigilant amongst us—myself included—who are primarily concerned with how we are, not how we seem. But, if we take the pains to care about others' reactions then our relationships with them will be deepened and they will help us shoulder this burden.
Do not act, as the adage goes, "as if no one is watching", but rather as if everyone you need to be, is. Then you will never fail at being impressive.
The Diabetes Network was developed with the idea that people living with diabetes needed a central place to go for resources as well as get ideas, suggestions and encouragement. We have put a lot of effort into this website to make it easy and fun to navigate as well as informative so that you can have a voice when it comes to managing your diabetes. Please let us know how we can improve this website to better suit your needs.
We're on a mission to make the healthcare community more technologically advanced than ever before. This website adapts to fit your tablet, iPad®, iPhone®, Android® or other smartphone. Just one of the ways we are working to make life easier for those living with Diabetes. Learn More...

"How is your day today?" I asked as cheerfully as I could.
"Ok. The nurse came today, did Mom tell you?" she asked.
"Yup, Mom said. What did you think?"
She shrugged her shoulders and patted the bed next to her. I sat.
"Is the baby moving a lot?"
"Yup most of the time."
"Is she moving now?" she asked as she reached for my belly. "No," I said, "But maybe with the right touch she will." No movement, but she rubbed and rubbed. "Tell me her name again." she said. "Lily Rylan." I replied. "Rylan...that's a pretty name. Where did you come up with that?" she said. "Our boys. Dylan and Riley. We put their names together to get her middle name. We figured that we wouldn't have made it this far without them." I answered and there was a short pause. "When I get there, I'll give them a kiss for you."
A moment passes.
"Do you think it hurts to die?"
"I know it doesn't hurt to die. There is no way something so peaceful could be painful."
"Who's going to take care of the kids?"
"We will." I said. "I promise they will be taken care of."
"Sometimes you might get frustrated with Lily," she said, "but try not to scream and yell to much. Think about it before...ask yourself if it's worth the argument. What about Kevin? He's going to alienate himself."
"We won't let him. I promise that we'll help him do whatever it is that he needs."
Silence again...
"I'm afraid it's going to hurt to die."
"Nope. I'm sure it doesn't hurt to die." I said quietly. I couldn't tell her that the cancer is going to be painful. They will make her comfortable, that I know. But there is absolutely no way that the act of dying is painful.
"Just think" I said, "if the girls are dating someone that you don't like you can always show up at the foot of their bed. Just don't show up at the foot of mine!" She laughed a good laugh. I haven't heard that from her in a long time. "Yeah for the first time in my life I'll have complete control of them!"
"I'm getting tired." she said finally.
Mom and I got into the car and cried all the way home. It's going to be soon. She's doing and saying what she needs to do. According to the nurse, we'll each probably get one more good visit before things change drastically. I need to remember her laughter. I need to know that she'll take care of Dylan and Riley there and we'll take care of her children here. We're both mothers, afraid to leave our children. But with shitty circumstances...

Oh Becky, I am so sorry. i know how hard that is and i'm sorry she is going through that. I HATE cancer. I've said it a hundred time, but I'll say it again. I HATE CANCER!!!
I know you'll always remember her laughter, but maybe you could get a voice recorder and record her laugh, her voice, words of encouragement etc. So Lily can hear it one day... Just a thought.

Becky, it's not fair. I'm so sorry for you and your family. I'm so, so sorry.
- Azaera said...
I'm so sorry that you have to go through this, I'm sorry that anyone has to go through this.. but
I'm glad you're getting the chance to say all those things to her, and that she is telling you what she wants to. It's really hard losing someone you love, but it's even worse when you don't get the chance to have these kinds of conversations with them before they pass.
- Virginia said...
Ditto what azaera said, and also, this sucks. And I'm sorry.
- CLC said...
I am so sorry. That was heartbreaking to read. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Becky I can't believe how much this affects me, not that my Aunt dying in March was so long ago or anything. But here I am in tears because i just did what you're doing, only I wasn't pregnant so it was a tiny bit more distressing, but i found out shortly after.
My Aunt faded, started asking tough questions and saying her "goodbyes", making sure all the details were take care of. and then stopped making sense. i miss her so much, more everyday since March. I am really glad I took a week to go see her while she was coherant and not in too much pain, I got to say goodbye.
I am thinking of you and your family right now.
- Devon Rene said...
I stumbled upon your blog from another....
That was a beautiful conversation you had. Brought me to tears...
I have my Riley here with me. But my Blake and Ethan have been in heaven since March. Born at 23 weeks...Lived for 2 and 3 days.
I wish you all the best with your little girl. God knows you deserve it! And what amazing big brothers she will have!

GERMAN GP - Last chance before the summer break for MotoGP riders to impress2018-07-10 08:34
Ángel Nieto Team head to Germany looking to continue Álvaro Bautista's good form get Karel Abraham back into the points
There is one more opportunity for the MotoGP World Championship riders to impress before taking a short break for the summer as the series heads to Germany and reaches the halfway point of the season. The big question is whether anybody can dethrone the 'King of Sachsenring', Marc Márquez, who has taken a victory there every season since winning the 125cc race in 2010. Two victories in Moto2 and five more in MotoGP make it eight on the bounce for the Spaniard, and with last year's runner-up Jonas Folger not racing this season there is a wide open chase for podium honours on Sunday. Six riders are currently covered by just 25 points in the chase for second in the championship and after a sensational group battle at Assen, the scene is set for another epic race at the shortest circuit on the calendar.
The Ángel Nieto Team travel to Germany feeling motivated after three consecutive top ten finishes for Álvaro Bautista. The Spaniard also took a creditable sixth position at Sachsenring in 2017, crossing the line just five seconds behind the podium finishers after starting from twelfth on the grid. The Spaniard has been on an upward curve in recent weeks and after making Q2 for the first time this season at Assen, he will be looking for a similar level of performance to sign off from the first half of the season in style. Karel Abraham, who was unable to build on his thirteenth place in Barcelona due to a technical problem at Assen, sees Germany as a second home race and the Czech rider is confident of turning some strong practice laps into a positive result.
Álvaro Bautista: "After three races in the top nine we now face a different kind of circuit, but we are on an upward curve and we'll work hard to make our bike handle well for the challenge of this track. It has some low speed changes of direction but the bike also needs to be agile. We will try to continue working in the same way and maintain the positive momentum. Last year we had a great race to come through and finish sixth; this year the level is higher and everybody is even closer so it will be difficult but I think we are on the right lines and we can fight to finish the first half of the season off with a good result and a good feeling."
Karel Abraham: "Sachsenring is practically a second home race for me because it is really close to Brno. Hopefully this weekend we can have a little more luck on the technical side, because I really want to go into the summer break in a good way."

Covered Bridge Audio Tour
All tours start and end at the Bennington Center for the Arts, 44 Gypsy Lane, Bennington, Vermont.
● Silk Road Bridge
● Originally: Locust Grove Bridge or the Robinson Bridge. "Silk Road" came from residents nearby, not silk trade.
● Built: (presumably) by Benjamin Sears1840
● Stats: 88 ft. long ~12 high
● Parking: at north west corner of bridge
● Exploration: Small path leads from parking area to river below. Swimming is not suggested by this bridge. When we visited we could not find the treenail with the boys initials, however visitors had carved their own initials in more recent years. Please keep personal momentos of your visits to these bridges in the form of photographs and memories, and be careful to leave these artifacts in the condition in which you found them.
● Photography: Photos should be taken in the afternoon from the s/w corner of the bridge to avoid phone lines.
● Restorations & Damages: Restored 1991 Gilbert Newbury. Damaged in 2011 by Hurricane Irene (damaged and destroyed many other bridges) and repaired. Built in 1840 and still constructed of many of the original parts, the silk road bridge is the oldest remaining bridge in Bennington County.
● Other History: A boy watched the construction of the bridge with his grandfather, and the foreman helped him carve his initials into a trunnel and hammer it into place in the western trusses.
● Paper Mill Village Bridge
● Originally: Named for a 1790 paper mill in the area, one of the state's first. Also called The Bridge at Bennington Falls
● Built: Charles F. Sears, Son of Benjamin Sears1889
● Stats: 125.5 ft. long ~14.25 high Longest bridge in bennington ct.
● Parking: Through bridge on left at s/e corner. Large lot and descriptive sign by parking.
● Exploration: As this bridge is near a power plant, exploration on site is limited. You are free to explore the bridge itself but much of the surrounding area is private property and restricted. A short walk down a forested path leads to a great view from the river on the bridges western side. Take your first right when exploring this path.
● Photography: Not a particularly photogenic bridge. View of western side with falls is available via path.
● Restorations: Repaired extensively in 1952. In 1986 the bridge was closed to to traffic due to weathering and structural instability, and a substitute bridge was built along the western side. Initial repair costs were estimated at $300,000. Repaired in 2000 and reopened. The substitute bridge no longer exists.
● Other History: The site was adjacent to one of the state's first paper mills that used the falls for power until around 1958 and closed in the early 1990's. This paper mill was one of two existing mills that might have made the paper on which the vermont constitution is written. During the later years of the mill's operations, and the years after it closed, the area and the bridge began to fall to disrepair. The bridge was closed in 1986, and had to be repaired before reopening. In 2009 a clean up effort for the area was led by bill and Maria Scully, the owners of the Paper Mill.
● Henry Bridge
● Originally: Named after Elnathan Henry
● Built: circa 1840 and completely restructured in 1989 with entirely new timber, despite attempts to save the original structure.
● Stats: 117 ft long and _____ ft tall
● Parking: Parking on both sides of southern end, and small spot at n/e corner. Visitors could also pass through the bridge and park in the lot for the park to the right of the bridge, where a view of the bridge from the water is available.
● Exploration: The bridge is easily explored at road height, but this bridge has no paths to the water directly near the bridge. Visitors who pass through the bridge and turn right will see McWaters park on their immediate right. This is a great place to enjoy a picnic if one was brought, and has a nice view of the bridge from tables by the water. An educational sign addressing the history of the bridge is located near the south west corner of the bridge, and a sign denoting the history of the crossing is located upstream accessible through the park.
● Photography: Photos from the park are easy, but aside from power lines along its east side, the bridge and it's surroundings are fairly photogenic from any angle.
● Restorations: Additional trusses were added to the bridge in an attempt to strengthen it for the passage of loads of iron ore from the local Burden Iron Company mine. In reality, the additional "supports" only added their own weight to the load the bridge was already carrying, and did nothing to strengthen the bridge. These were removed in 1943. "Repairs" by the Cote brothers at Blow & Cote Inc. resulted in a complete overhaul of the bridge in 1989 with entirely new timbers. Miscommunications between state agencies led to a complete disassembly of the old bridge. Though the bridge is identical to the original, none of the original timbers remain. Instead of the traditional Vermont Oak and Spruce, the new bridge is built of Southern pine. The destruction of the old bridge led to new strategies and policies concerning the remaining covered bridges and their repairs and rehabilitation.
● Other History: An older bridge in this location was said to have been built by William Henry Jr. Before this bridge was constructed, this historically crossing saw generals marching to victory at the battle of bennington, and was the location of the original standoff between what would become the green mountain boys and the posse of new yorkers led by a sheriff to take back the land as the property of new york. The resistance that started here and at James Breckenridge's farm grew until vermont declared it's independence in 1777.
● West Arlington Bridge or Arlington Green Bridge
● Historically: Bridge at the Green
● Built: 1852
● Stats: 80 ft. long.
● Parking: Through bridge on right by the ramp to the swimming hole or before passing through the bridge on your left
● Exploration: Spanning local swimming hole and a river popular for kayaking and other sports, the bridge is easily accessible from the water. A ramp leads down to a small beach at the southwest corner of the bridge, and parking is available in this same area. A wide portion of the concrete abutment offers a dry place to sit under the bridge and listen to cars driving over the wood supports above, but remember to be careful when exploring the potentially slippery rocks in the area, and make sure you can swim well when going near deep water.
● Photography: One of the most photographed bridges in the county, near Rockwell's home and a picturesque church.
● Restorations: Susceptible to strong winds in the area, the bridge was blown off it's foundations in the 1850's, but it's construction was so strong that locals were able to use the bridge temporarily even while it was turned on its side. It was taken apart and reassembled on its original foundations, and secured in place with iron rods. When the bridge was hit hard enough by a river swept log to bow the bridge during hurricane Irene, the extra supports added to help the bridge withstand the wind kept it from being knocked downstream. It was closed temporarily for repairs and reopened in 2012. A damaged piece of the bridge is on display in the museum.
● Other History: Built close to Norman Rockwell's home, which was later turned into a bed and breakfast.
● Chiselville Bridge
● Originally: Historically called the High Bridge (due to it's height) or the roaring branch bridge after the name of the waterway it spans.
● Built: 1870.
● Stats: 117 ft long. Highest bridge in ct.
● Parking: N/E corner of the bridge, once through on the right.
● Exploration: Once parked near the N/E corner, head back toward the bridge and take the path to your left into the woods. Three smaller paths will diverge toward the river to your right. The first two of these divergences are difficult to explore if you are not prepared to use both hands to balance and pull yourself along. They are more of a climb than a hike or walk. The third path, however, allows visitors to traverse the shallow decline towards the bank of the river and view the bridge from below. This is the best place to photograph this bridge.
● Photography: The best photographs of this bridge are to be taken from the river, where the full effect of its height can be appreciated.
● Restorations: The original Log Stringer crossing in the area proved unsafe when local doctor attempted to cross to go to the aid of revolutionary soldiers and fell into the river during a flood. Inspiration for the original bridge's replacement was drawn from nearby bridges and a Town Lattice design was chosen. This first replacement was destroyed in a flood in 1869 and Daniel Oatman built his replacement high on the cliffs 40 feet above the river in 1870 to avoid future damage of the same kind. His plan was successful, as his bridge survived the catastrophic flood of 1927 that destroyed many other covered bridges. Two heavy trucks crossing simultaneously damaged the bridge in 1971 and steel girders were added in 1973. These steel beams and the concrete pier supporting the center of the bridge make the trusses superfluous, and now they only support themselves and the roof. Today the bed of the bridge is paved continuously into the road, rather than the traditional wooden bed.
● Other History: Original cost to build the bridge was $2,307.31

No man is fit to govern who hesitates about disobliging the few who have access to him for the sake of the many he will never see. - Thomas Macaulay
The Grumpy Old Party Seems to be doing handstands over the chance of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie entering the presidential race. Many pundits put this down to the well-known weakness in the current pick of possible Republican candidates.
But there may be another, uglier reason that many find Christie so attractive.
He's a bully.
Much of their praise seems to have less to do with whatever policies he has than the fact that he is rude to those citizens who have the temerity to ask him questions he doesn't want to answer, and is rude in a pretty spectacular way.
"I think he's great," enthused a Republican strategist this past week on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews.
Yeah, he's great, all right.
He's great if you think that his brand of political thuggery, where one treats ordinary men and women who dare come to a microphone and ask a question like dirt is how the people of this country should be treated, I suppose.
Then again, he'd fit right in with a party whose members applaud wildly at the very mention of executions, or whose members cry out, "Yes!" when the question is asked if a man should be allowed to die if he doesn't have health care.
Or the mobbish behavior of folks who boo a gay American soldier who asks they a question they think should never be asked.
Chris Christie would fit right in with this crowd.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see other GOP candidates begin to emulate his bullying tactics when folks dare to ask questions that require actual answers, and not the cliches they trot out on the debate stage.

Hari OM
Monday is AUM-day; in search of meditation.
Meditation & Life, with Sw. Chinmayananda (Gurudev).
We are now exploring the writings of Gurudev on our focus subject of Meditation. The book is a thorough treatment of the subject and extends to over 170 pages of closely printed text. No attempt is intended, here, to present the text in its entirety. However, important paragraphs and quotes will be given, within a summary of each section. You are encouraged to use the links on sidebar to obtain a copy for yourselves from CM publications. Please remember that each of the posts under this title is part of a thought flow and it is important to go back and read the previous post in order to refresh and review the context.
Illusion and Reality.
The world we experience is an assortment of varied forms, names, tastes, smells and sensations. These sense impulses are reported by our sense organs to the mind (via hardware of brain), which then consults with intellect and forms opinions based on the input. Generally speaking, any thoughts which arise from this are based upon comparison with present experience with previous experience (or lack of in relation to present), plus a mingling of vaasanas (predispositions which colour our thoughts and opinions).
It is this inner variety which results in outer variety, in terms of individual reactions and behaviours in same situations and around same objects. Neither is this a static situation within each individual, as all current experiences add to the store of past experiences and vaasanas to colour future experience and the thoughts and opinions can change - sometimes to polar opposite.
|You can make this picture stand still
...if you focus!
The worldly person seeks joy amidst their ever-changing moods as well as seeking to satisfy the mood with what is on offer in an ever-changing world. Two shifting parameters will always yield short-term results of satisfaction, if any at all. The only permanent solution is to fix at least one side of the equation and make it a constant factor. The seeker, even during early days of practice, with correct discrimination, comes to the understanding the subject within who seems to experience all the roundabouts and roller coasters of life is, in fact, a false entity and that an equally false world of objects is external to that entity. The misconception is that of the "I" as "Mr/Mrs/Miss/Doctor…" has substance, when in fact it is a mere bundle of thoughts; the mind. In this process, the subject begins to see that mistaking the "I" for being part of the sensory world. Once it is accepted that there is no permanence to it and the problem is the mind which attunes itself externally rather than internally, positive changes can be made.
The Illusory World.
Using the deep sleep model as being the bliss state, we an postulate that if the world and its objects were indeed 'true', they would pervade that bliss also. They do not. Anyone who says they had a bad night's sleep, disturbed by the intrusion of 'the world' has not actually entered deep sleep state at all. That which is the permanent, blissful underpinning of life cannot be affected at all by the vicissitudes of that life.
In deep sleep, mind ceases to function - where, then, is the world and it's mischief? The Vedantic philosophers of old brought to bear their extraordinary analytical acumen and vivid intuitional experience and observed that, in deep-sleep, even the most intimate emotions and memories are shut off from cognitive experience; then as the individual re-enters the plane of waking, there is a bursting forth of memory and experience. Our own knowledge of the world and its objects, the memories of such knowledge, is but trickery of the mind. Where mind is, jagat also is; where the mind is not (as in deep-sleep), jagat is not.
"To gain freedom, we merely have to understand that our enemy is the illusion of our own mind, then to train ourselves to calm down the dreadful emotions that our mental mistake caused!"
Vedanta explains that the world (jagat) has about as much venom as the rope mistaken for a snake. We suffer from our own mistaken perception of the Real Nature of things. Only Knowledge will remove ignorance. Deep and steady inquiry into the nature of the world, of God and of the subject "I", constitutes the pursuit of Self-perfection. Currently we do not know that the objects and the world we crave more and more of holds no more reality than the snake on the rope. We are so identified with the sensations of the world; we yearn for immediacy and ever more extreme consummation of our desires.
The mind must be controlled, for the mind alone is our interface between inner and outer. The mind must be curbed of its tendency to roam randomly from us, bringing back offerings of false desires, illusory fears and fancied joys. The mind has to be decluttered so that it can see the rope and no more mistake it for a snake.
Inner War.
If, then, we think of the mind as 'satan', we come to understand that the real war of life is within us. By seeking the divine within us, the truth mind's delusions and the fact that it too is but an illusion will finally be ours. It is through the five sense organs that the mind experiences the outer world, leaving impressions (vaasanas) which rumble away and generate our thoughts and desires anew. Thus it can be seen that to control mind, we must also take control of our external sensors. Self-discipline begins at physical level.
The technique of training the mind to forget its delusion and to reach for its native state of bliss is called meditation. Meditation alone can raise the individual to the largest state of being so that s/he can remain balanced throughout the daily strife. Through regular and patient practice, meditation gains in steadiness and value. As it soars, a new dynamic power of alertness is generated and true peace enters the thought-free hollow that was mind. At it's greatest level or practice, there can come the blinding flash of true wisdom… "I alone Am". Unification with Self.
In truth, meditator, meditated and meditating do not exist. There is only One Single Truth upon which arises all this illusion. This is the pinnacle of the meditative journey - where all is left behind for the full union with the Divine. The state of samaadhi. Walking in Godhood, such individuals bring such profound wisdom and Love and Peace to the world around them. Such as these are the saints and sages and prophets. They are rare, but not at all an extinct species! The exist in the world even today. Who would recognise them in today's race for the material, however? "...if God Himself were to come right now, He would probably not even be offered a seat unless He wore a clean suit and pretended to be an agent of Mssrs Sin & Sorrow Inc, the famous multi-billion-dollar manufacturers of illusion and falsehood!"

I wanted to tell you about one of my best layover's in Geneva, Switzerland . We rented a car and drove to Chamonix/Mont Blanc. You can rent a chep car for 75.00 SF at a hotel called the Balzac, located behind the Hotel Kempinski, across the street from a COOP Market (ask your concierge for directions) You get 300 free KM, more than enough to get to Chamonix and back, the drive is quick and easy. It is about a 45 min. drive, on a well indicated highway. You park the car in the French Village of Chamonix, and then you take the "Telepheric" up Mont Blanc. You can actually go across a glacier which separates the French and Italian Alps. So in one afternoon, you can hit all 3 countries, pretty cool. There are several levels and stops on the Tramway. The highest level/platform is called L'aiguille du Midi, (needle of the Midi), it is a weather monitoring device, and at that point you are about 12,000 Ft. above sea level. You are above the clouds, and the view is spectacular! . The tram ride is 24 Euros, and to go to the top,"L'Aiguille.." (which is a must!) is an additional 18 Euros.
Be sure to take a camera, and a jacket and we took bread, cheese and wine, and of course Swiss Chocolate for our ride on the Tram.
One of my best Layovers!

SHOES FOR TRAVEL - Comfy FitFlops2 comments
The FitFlop is a great sandal for heavy duty walking. It looks like a combination between a flip flop and one of those thick-soled Earthshoes of the 70's, remember them? Not too attractive, but heavenly on your feet. In addition, they promise to "give you a workout while you walk". I like the sound of that.
FitFlops are popular around the world. I have seen them in Dubai, in Miami Beach and in the streets of Paris. Customers rave about their FitFlops. They claim they reduce chronic backaches, they improve body posture, re-energize tired legs and they help with loss of weight. Tempted yet?
For more about FitFlops or where to get them, visit the official FitFlop website by clicking on the following link. FITFLOP - The Official Site � Our range and see if they're something you'd want for your sore feet.
Happy Trails!

Grab your wallets, NASA fanboys and space freaks: Bonham's auction house in New York City is auctioning off a slew of historically significant Soviet and American gear — from actual spacesuits to super-old zero gravity "hygiene kits" — all from the earliest days of otherworldly exploration. We rounded up a handful of the coolest items up for grabs.
This Sport Takes Ice Skating to Extreme Heights
Mercury Era Spacesuit - $8,000-$12,000
This cover layer for the phase 2 spacesuit was developed for Project Mercury, the first of the U.S.'s manned flight programs. And while the suits themselves were essentially just a modified version of the Navy's high-altitude pressure suits, this aluminized nylon covering was crucial in assisting thermal control to keep astronauts from becoming frozen corpses before they even left the atmosphere.
James Irwin's Moon Flag - $10,000-15,000
All American flags are special, but it's not every day you find one that's gone to the moon. Apollo 15 Lunar Module Pilot James Irwin, eighth man to walk on the moon, took this flag with him, spending 66 hours there in the summer of 1971.
Cosmonaut's Survival Machete - $500 - 700
The Soviets didn't let their "cosmonauts" go to space without packing some weapons in case there was a James Bond style space battle or an alien situation. This 14-inch destroyer comes with a gray sheath with velcro and a belt loop. Did they really wear belts in space?
Lunar Surface Panorama Negatives - $700-$1,500
Far more interesting than even your cutest baby pictures, this canister contains negatives for the huge shots taken on the surface during the Apollo 15 mission. It was the first time a panoramic camera was ever used to photograph long sections of the moon.
Space Shuttle Drink Containers - $200-300
There's something in this auction for everyone. To drink coffee and tea in space, NASA freeze-dried and powdered coffee and tea that could easily be rehydrated and drunk with a straw. Like everything NASA, they have a velcro base so they don't float away. However, they're marked "training," so it's not clear if they ever actually made it out of the atmosphere.
Joe and Ethan are aliens, FYI.

The Flying Daggers or the No. 45 Squadron which operates the indigenously developed supersonic fighter aircraft Tejas will be shifted from Bengaluru to the Sulur Air Force station based in Coimbatore in July.
With this, the Flying Daggers will become the first fighter squadron to be a part of the Southern Air Command of the IAF headquartered in Thiruvananthapuram. Highly reliable sources told The Hindu that the No. 45 Squadron, which operated in Bengaluru for two years after the induction of Tejas into it in July 2016, will be permanently moved to the Sulur Air Force station in the first week of July.
Flying Daggers was last equipped with MiG-21 Bis aircraft and the squadron operated from Nalia in Gujarat before it was shifted to Bengaluru in July 2016, when Tejas replaced the Russian-made interceptor under the Light Compact Aircraft (LCA) programme. Tejas has been designed and developed by the Aeronautical Development Agency and manufactured by Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd.
The Sulur Air Force station is gearing up with various activities to equip itself to accommodate the wing. An LCA simulator to train novice fighter pilots to fly Tejas will be set up at the air base for which work has already begun, said sources.
The air force station is also gearing up for the visit of President Ram Nath Kovind next year. The President's Standard will be presented to Air Force Station Hakimpet based in Hyderabad and 5 BRD (No 5 Base Repair Depot) based at the Air Force Station, Sulur, for their meritorious services.

Apple chooses Hong Kong over mainland for iPhone 6 launch
Apple will roll out its new smartphones in nine markets, including Hong Kong, next week. But customers in mainland China will have to wait a week longer for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
Unlocked phones from the Apple store will cost from HK$5,588 and HK$6,388 respectively in the city when they go on sale on September 19. The top priced handset – the 5.5-inch screen 128Gb iPhone 6 Plus, will retail at HK$8,088.
Some analysts were surprised to see mainland China excluded in the first round of sales, a stark contrast to the unprecedented simultaneous launch of the iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S in Beijing and the United States a year ago.
Apple did not say why its biggest overseas market would have to wait an extra week. There were suggestions the delay was linked to the leaking on Chinese websites of details of the phones, which are made in mainland China.
Mobile phone traders in Sin Tat Plaza, Mong Kok, will offer as much as HK$13,088 for the most expensive model.
The new iPhones unveiled on Tuesday come in gold, silver and grey and have 16GB, 64GB and 128GB capacity.
Watch: What do experts say about Apple's iPhone 6
Traders expect brisk business in the first week of sales as a result of the later mainland launch. The iPhones with 128GB capacity will see the biggest difference between the official and resale prices, with the gold ones expected to be most popular, says The First Digital shop.
The other eight markets chosen for the September 19 roll-out are the US, Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Australia, Singapore and Japan.
Apple singled out HKT's CSL mobile unit, Hong Kong's largest wireless network operator, SmarTone Telecommunications and Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong, which runs the Three mobile network in the city, as among the first batch of 4G operators ready to support the so-called high-quality voice call over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE) service for its updated smartphones.
DON'T MISS: iPhone 6 to hit Hong Kong shelves September 19; unlocked prices up to HK$8,088
Stephen Chau Kam-kun, chief technology officer at SmarTone, confirmed that the operator and Hutchison Telecom "have been qualified by Apple to support VoLTE on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus".
The city's mobile operators previously offered circuit switch-based voice calls through existing 2G and 3G networks, but have been upgrading their networks with VoLTE as they deployed high-speed 4G networks.
At their official launch in California, Apple chief executive Tim Cook touted the new smartphones as "the biggest advancements in iPhone history".
Apple also announced the initial rollout of its own Apple Pay contactless mobile payment system, which is only available in the US, and introduced the highly anticipated Apple Watch, which will be available early next year and be priced from US$349.
Apart from having more powerful processors, improved cameras and the iOS 8 mobile operating system upgrade, both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus support Apple Pay.
Sept 12 pre-orders in Hong Kong
Sept 16 reserve online for pick-up at retail stores in Hong Kong
Sept 19 on sale in Hong Kong
Sept 26 on sale on mainland


text: One often neglected task on many cars is the maintenance of the cooling system. In general, BMW recommends that you flush and clean out your cooling system once every 36 months, or approximately every three years. A properly maintained cooling system must have a few things in order: adequate supply of coolant, a radiator that acts as a heat exchanger with the outside air, a fan or air flow source, a water pump to keep the coolant circulating, and a thermostat to regulate the engine at its optimum operating temperature. The coolant must also have the correct mixture and chemical compounds to promote heat transfer, protect against freezing, and also inhibit corrosion.

Review: Galactic @ The Space at Westbury, 2/6
Galactic was on fire last night! With a little help from friends Maggie Koerner on vocals and Corey Henry on trombone, this power band showed Westbury, Long Island how to funk it up proper.
The set started out relatively mellow, in large part due to the audience. I was surprised at the crowd's lack of familiarity with even their most popular songs, which is something I have never experienced at a Galactic show. Perhaps they just lack a following on Long Island and their more dedicated fans in NYC didn't make the trek because of an upcoming Terminal 5 show on February 15 (you can enter to win tickets to this show below!). Regardless, the odd energy in the house was certainly not a function of the venue. I was very impressed with The Space at Westbury upon my first visit to the new spot and thought that its sound system and atmosphere holds a lot of potential (Lotus and Railroad Earth recently had amazing performances at The Space!).
Maggie Koerner really stole the show with her powerhouse pipes and undeniably sensuous stage presence. This budding star has been touring with the band quite a bit since the summer and adds a special flavor to the mix. She appears on their newest track, "Dolla Diva," which they busted out early on in the show. The well-known track "You Don't Know" came a bit later, also fueled by Maggie's stunning vocals.
Corey Henry (frequent guest trombonist from Rebirth Brass Band) turned the energy up 10 notches, taking center stage during the popular older track "From the Corner to the Block." His rhyme-spitting, horn-blowing, and "WHO DAT"-ing gave the show an undeniable New Orleans flare.
Each band member had their moment to shine. The audience was treated to multiple drum solos by Stanton Moore and some epic extended jams by Jeff Raines crushing it on guitar. Ben Ellman killed it on sax throughout and got funky on the harmonica towards the end. Richard Vogel held it down on Hammond organ as always and Rob Mercucio laid down some groovy basslines. All in all, the band was on point.
A real treat was when opener Ryan Montbleau came back out to perform a fun, upbeat and passionate rendition of "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover." He is extremely talented and has an adorable yet powerful stage presence, making for the most high-energy song of the set and just a great time overall.
A big thank you to Galactic for a funkalicious night and that much-needed dose of NOLA that made it slightly easier to cope with the fact that I'll be missing my first Mardi Gras in 5 years.

Category Archives: Leaseure
Sand Harbor
Nevada's east shore is not known for it's sandy beaches… except for Sand Harbor. While most Nevada side beaches have coarse sand that is tough on the feet, Tahoe's prevailing breezes deposit a fine grained white sand here that is the harbor's namesake. However, the area's beauty is derived from the numerous rocks as much as the sand. It's not just about the beauty above water, either. Scuba diving and snorkelling are both very popular here

Teenager injured in Kezar Lake boating accident
By Lisa Williams Ackley
Staff Writer
LOVELL — A 15-year-old girl from Texas, whose leg was severed above the ankle in a boating accident on Kezar Lake Tuesday afternoon, was airlifted to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
The teenage girl was sitting in the bow of a powerboat, operated by her father, that was towing a 13-year-old boy on a tube when the accident happened, according to Corporal John MacDonald of the Maine Warden Service.
"At about 2:45 this afternoon, a boat crash occurred that injured at least two people," Cpl. MacDonald said, in a phone interview with The Bridgton News July 10. "A 15-year-old girl was ejected (from the boat) and the boat drove over her and severed her leg above the ankle. The operator of the boat was the girl's father."
Cpl. MacDonald said in a statement issued later on Tuesday that a "family-owned" 24-foot Correct Craft inboard fiberglass motorboat was carrying six family members when it crashed near a small island on the east side of Kezar Lake.
"Involved in the crash was a 13-year-old boy being towed on a tube, a 10-year-old boy in the rear of the boat, three teenage girls sitting in the bow (one who is 13 and two 15-year-olds), and an adult driver," MacDonald stated. "Driving the boat was 44-year-old Robert Mueller from Houston, Texas. Mueller was towing the boy when he struck a submerged rock barely visible from the surface. Upon impact, all three female passengers in the bow were ejected including Mueller's 15-year-old daughter Abby. The boat ran over Abby, severing her leg with the running propeller. Her leg became severed between her ankle and knee. Robert Mueller also received minor injuries during the impact when he was thrown toward the windshield. The girl was flown by LifeFlight to Massachusetts General Hospital. The boat sustained damage and took on water as it was driven to shore. The drive shaft guide bracket was damaged and allowed water to enter the hull."
MacDonald said the northwest side of the island is marked with five hazard buoys and the boat struck a rock inside the marked hazard area.
"It is not believed alcohol was involved," MacDonald stated.
The 10-year-old boy and 13-year-old girl are Mueller's son and daughter, according to MacDonald, and the 13-year-old boy on the tube and the other 15-year-old girl are brother and sister. They are cousins to those injured, he said, and are from Woodstock, Connecticut.
"They were all staying at a family cabin on the lake," said MacDonald.
The victims came ashore at the docks at the Quisisana Resort on Pleasant Point, according to Lovell Fire Chief Tommie McKenzie, and the teenage victim was transported by ambulance to a nearby landing zone and placed on the awaiting medivac helicopter.
Game Warden Sergeant Dave Chabot and Wardens Neal Wykes and Kris Barboza investigated the boat crash. MacDonald said, "Assisting with today's (July 10) crash were Kezar Lake Marina, Stoneham Rescue, Fryeburg Rescue, Lovell Fire & Rescue and LifeFlight."
"The crash remains under investigation," said Cpl. MacDonald.

The Liquid State Machine (LSM) is a method of computing with temporal neurons, which can be used amongst other things for classifying intrinsically temporal data directly unlike standard artificial neural networks. It has also been put forward as a natural model of certain kinds of brain functions.
With this code we show that the Liquid State Machines as normally defined by Maass et al cannot serve as a natural model for brain function. This is because they are very vulnerable to failures in parts of the model.
This code solve this issue by specifying certain kinds of topological constraints (such as "small world assumption"), which have been claimed are reasonably plausible biologically, can restore robustness in this sense to LSMs.

15. When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. "Oh, my lord, what shall we do?" the servant asked.
16. "Don't be afraid," the prophet answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them."
17. And Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes so he may see." Then the LORD opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
18. As the enemy came down toward him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, "Strike these people with blindness." So he struck them with blindness, as Elisha had asked.
19. Elisha told them, "This is not the road and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will lead you to the man you are looking for." And he led them to Samaria.
20. After they entered the city, Elisha said, "LORD, open the eyes of these men so they can see." Then the LORD opened their eyes and they looked, and there they were, inside Samaria.
21. When the king of Israel saw them, he asked Elisha, "Shall I kill them, my father? Shall I kill them?"
22. "Do not kill them," he answered. "Would you kill men you have captured with your own sword or bow? Set food and water before them so that they may eat and drink and then go back to their master."
23. So he prepared a great feast for them, and after they had finished eating and drinking, he sent them away, and they returned to their master. So the bands from Aram stopped raiding Israel's territory.
27. "But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28. bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
29. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic.
30. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.
31. Do to others as you would have them do to you.
32. "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even `sinners' love those who love them.
33. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even `sinners' do that.
34. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even `sinners' lend to `sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full.
35. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

Fishing Guides Bass is a website for Bass fishing
guides and tips about catching Bass. Bass fishing
techniques work and catch lots of Bass on the Willamette
River and the Columbia River. Smallmouth Bass and
Largemouth Bass are both fun to catch.
Largemouth Bass Fishing Guides
Bass are one of the most sought after of all the game
fish. Its appeal spans cultures, age groups and genders
to tap on the heart strings of anglers everywhere. Bass
are aggressive feeders and agile enough to chase down
and catch most of their favorite foods. They are most
easily caught during a feeding spree but can be enticed
into striking an anglers bait for reasons other than
hunger. They are predatory by nature and at times will
strike at anything that enters their world. They are
also territorial and at times strike anything that
ventures into their domain. If it moves and they can get
it into their large mouth, bass will attempt to eat it.
The largemouth bass has a mouth that opens wide
enough to swallow its own head. It will attempt to eat
virtually anything it can catch and swallow. Growing to
well over 20 pounds, it is much bigger than it's cousin
the smallmouth bass. Smaller bass tend to school then
become more of a loner, the older they get.
Thanks to Scotty, the
Southern Oregon Rivers Fishing Guide for the

Bass, bluegills, walleye, pike and muskies all love
weeds growing in the water. Weed beds provide protection
and food. The weeds are also home to minnows, crayfish,
frogs, or shrimp that the larger fish feed on. Weeds
filter the water from impurities and add oxygen for the
fish to breath. Best lures: jig and pig, plastic worm,
spinnerbait, and topwaters.
Wood (sunken trees, stumps, dock pilings, etc.) and
rocks are found in most fresh water or saltwater fishing
holes. Fish lurk around these types of cover for shelter
and for ambushing prey. The slimy coating, or algae,
that grows on this cover attracts minnows and smaller
fish. Best lures: jig and pig, crankbait, spinnerbait,
and plastic worm.
The area where a river or creek flows into a larger
body of water can be excellent for fishing. The flowing
water carries the food to the waiting fish. For many
fish species, the river acts as their spawning grounds
(reproduce). The fish will hold in this are in the
Spring until the time is right to move upstream.
Temperature differences between the river and the large
body of water meet in this location, creating a perfect
temperature condition for many fish. Best lures: Spoon,
crankbait, spinnerbait, and topwaters.
Better known as a sudden depth change. These areas
provide fish with a simple way to move from deep water
to shallow water, or vice versa. This area can be a good
place to find pike, muskies, bass and many saltwater
fish far from shore. Best lures: spinnerbait, spoon,
plastic worm, and jig and pig.

For many Kentuckians, the best memories of basketball don't necessarily come with the arrival of the Big Dance.
Often, they're about the time their team made it to the Sweet Sixteen boys' high school tournament. Cliff Hagan played on Owensboro's 1949 championship squad and then for the University of Kentucky and the St. Louis Hawks. He also was UK's athletic director from 1975 to 1988 so he was there for Kentucky's 1978 national championship. But Hagan said in 1996: "Nothing compares to that first thrill."
Some of the thrills came off the court as well.
▪ When Hagan's Owensboro won the title in 1949, each member of the championship squad, plus Coach Lawrence L. McGinnis and the team managers, received a solid gold wrist watch engraved, "Kentucky Basketball Champions. Owensboro 1949."

▪ Memorabilia from Wayland basketball star "King" Kelly Coleman is on display at the town hall meeting room in Wayland, population 426. That's across the street from the Wayland gym, for which there are plans for renovation. The Coleman memorabilia was previously available for viewing in a nearby mini-mart.
Coleman, son of a coal miner, was the star player on the 1956 Wayland Wasps. The team went to the Sweet Sixteen, losing 68-67 in a semifinal game to eventual champion Carr Creek.
In a consolation game, Coleman scored 68 points in a win over Bell County.
The Wayland Historical Society is collecting additional Sweet Sixteen memorabilia from mountain teams to boost its collection, which includes Hindman's championship trophy from 1943.
▪ Earlington High School won the tournament in 1967. The town in Hopkins County, which had a 2000 census population of 1,649, had the kind of relentlessly proud local citizens that small towns bringing home the tournament crown could convene. When the basketball Yellowjackets won the 1967 trophy, the town's population was 2,800.
A Courier-Journal article said that when the team returned home, 500 cars were lined up along the Western Kentucky Turnpike to greet the players.
"Out-of-state motorists glared angrily as cars filled with fans blocked traffic on the turnpike," the newspaper reported.
▪ Mason County has long been noted for its devotion to the Sweet Sixteen, including the 8,000 to 10,000 of the county's 17,765 residents who came to Lexington for the 1985 tournament.
One estimate held that 5,000 of that contingent attended a pregame party at the Continental Inn given by Maysville businessman Clyde Barbour, who died in 1994. Mason County even brought a blimp, white with inside lighting saying "Mason County Royals" on the side.
The 33-foot-long blimp was apparently cut loose from its steel cable and tether line moorings and disappeared into the clouds early one morning.
Mason County eventually lost in a quarterfinals squeaker to Louisville Doss, 64-63. Mason County would go on to win the championship in 2003 and 2008.
▪ Ernie Epps of the Kentucky School for the Deaf is in a tie for the 10th-most rebounds in one game: 31 against Hustonville in 1971.
Epps, the valedictorian of his class, was recruited by other schools, but he chose to attend Gallaudet University for the deaf and hard of hearing in Washington, D.C., and he later became a teacher.
In 2008, Epps was inducted into the Gallaudet University athletics hall of fame. "I loved every minute I was at Gallaudet," he said at the induction ceremony.
▪ The 1983 state finals was Carlisle County versus Henry Clay. It was considered one of the best games in Sweet Sixteen history. It went through three overtimes before Henry Clay's Greg Bates made the game-winning shot just before0:00 showed on the scoreboard.
You wouldn't have expected that from Carlisle County, a school in far Western Kentucky with just 265 students.
For Henry Clay coach Al Prewitt, the victory was bittersweet. His wife, Betty, was in the hospital at Saint Joseph, unconscious from cancer. Prewitt and two of his players drove to the hospital and left her something she had watched her husband chase for 30 years: the championship trophy.
Betty Prewitt died two weeks later.

Yes I do happen to catch the show Dancing With the Stars. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's pretty corny but you have to admit the costumes and most especially the dancing is awesome. I love it when the professionals do numbers to the guest singers they have on the show. Every time I watch these beautiful people dance I think to myself they must only eat an ounce of skinless chicken and leafy shit along with their dancing exercise they get. Their bods are awesome.
I do have to admit I have a little thing for Derek Hough. Normally I don't go for blondes but this guy is such a sexy little cutie. I love his petite and lean body and this guy can dance. I think he is the best dancer on the show actually. His smile and personality are infectious too. But I gotta say, I love his body and the way he dances. Rawr. I actually get a physical reaction watching him in the sexy stuff. Mmm a sexy rumba.
I wish I had a boyfriend or significant other to take dancing lessons with. I think learning some of these dances would be such blast. It's gotta be fun. I used to go night clubbing back in my twenties and it wasn't because of the crowd or the music or drinking but mostly for the dancing. I loved it when guys asked me to dance. A lot of guys seem to be a bit fearful of dancing and I don't understand why, men can be pretty good if they just not worry so much and let go.
Somebody dance with me.

The 2nd annual Madera Spelling Bee took place on Tuesday, January 29, 2013. 221 students from seven classrooms in grades 4-6 had participated in their classroom bees earlier in the month. The top three students in each classroom moved on to the school-wide Bee, a total of 21 participants.
Mr. Danysh, a fifth grade teacher, served as MC. Adorned with t-shirts designed for the occasion by sixth grader Ian McCue as part of an art contest, the spellers appeared before a packed house in the Madera multipurpose room, which was spilling over with all of the school's fourth through sixth grade students, as well as proud parents, grandparents, friends, and other relatives. For winning the t-shirt design contest, Ian received a t-shirt with his design and a gift card to Blicks arts supply store.
Each speller approached the microphone on stage and spelled the given word. At the end of each round, only the students who correctly spelled their word survived to the next round. The thunderous applause between each round made each participant smile. Every student appeared eager and confident, enjoying their successes, and accepting misspellings with grace and poise.
After nine rounds lasting one hour, Mr. Danysh called for a recess. Only four students remained: Phoenix Mulligan (4th grade), Amelia Burfoot-Willis (4th grade), Kristy Chu (4th grade), and Lukas Kirsch (4th grade). We had 10 more rounds before a winner was declared. By then, there were only two students remaining: Kristy and Lukas. As one of the judges, I knew I had to pay attention. However, I could barely breathe or see straight. I don't know how these students could stand in front of a huge crowd and continue spelling words I cannot pronounce.
Finally, Round 20 arrived and a winner was announced. Kristy Chu became our Madera Champion with the winning word percussion. She will move onto the district bee in March 2013. Lukas Kirsch came in 2nd place and we had a tie for 3rd place: Phoenix and Amelia. These extremely well-prepared and hardworking students received Barnes & Noble gift cards and our fantastic champion received a Nook, thanks to Madera PTA.
When I asked Kristy how she felt, she said her friend hugged her so hard that her bones were about to break. She was smiling and happy even with the additional 1,500 study words I provided in preparation for the district bee!
I would like to thank Mr. Eric Danysh, who not only guided the students with his calm demeanor and brilliant definitions but also was responsible for the first Spelling Bee art contest at Madera, which yielded Ian's t-shirt design. I would also like to thank my fellow judge Ms. Heather Best who helped organize this amazing event. And lastly, as a judge, I'm proud to have worked with dedicated teachers who support education with public speaking for our young students. It's tough to be in front of a crowd but these students are rock stars thanks to their encouraging and fearless teachers!
~Lucy Kirsch (Madera parent & Spelling Bee judge)

|Naming Notes
|Pita or pitta (/ˈpitə/ or US /ˈpiːtə/)[1] also known as Arabic Bread or Lebanese Bread or Syrian Bread,[2][3][4] is a soft, slightly leavened flatbread baked from wheat flour that originated in the Near East,[4][5] most probably Mesopotamia around 2500 BC.[6] It is used in many Mediterranean, Balkan and Middle Eastern cuisines and resembles other slightly leavened flatbreads such as Iranian nan-e barbari, South Asian flatbreads, Central Asian naan, and pizza crust.
The first known mention of the word in English was in 1936.[7] The English word is borrowed from Modern Greek πίτα. These all probably come from the Byzantine Greek πίτα 'bread, cake, pie, pitta' (attested in 1108).[7] Some sources trace it to the Ancient Greek πίττα or πίσσα 'pitch/resin',[8][9] while others characterize this as "unlikely" and trace it to Latin picta 'painted', itself supposedly from Greek πηκτή 'congealed'.[10][11] Though the Modern Hebrew word pittāh is spelled like the Aramaic pittəṭā/pittā (which is related to Levantine Arabic fatteh), they are not connected historically.[7] Other hypotheses trace it to Germanic[12] or Illyrian.[13]
The word has been borrowed by Turkish as pide,[14] and appears in the Balkan languages as Serbo-Croatian pita, Romanian pită, Albanian pite, Bulgarian pitka or pita. In Arabic, the phrase "خبز البيتا" (pita bread) is sometimes used; other names are simply "خبز" 'bread' or "الخبز العربي" 'Arab bread' or "خبز الكماج" 'ekamj bread'.

The Townsville Bulletin ran a story on my public speaking to school children.
St Patrick's school in Bundaberg sent me all of these hand written notes from some of the students I spoke to..
They are so beautiful, they bring a tear to my eye and just melt my heart..
How lucky am I? Very lucky. I had the pleasure of going back to speak at Shailer Park State school for the second time.
These were my gifts.
A certificate
And a thank you note from each of the students who listened to me. That was a total of 90 notes that I came home with, I have been sitting reading each one this afternoon.. each note will be kept as I treasure them, it makes the effort it takes for me and Trevor to do this, all worthwhile.
This is one of the letters that I have scanned that was sent to me from the year 5/6 students from St Joseph's school in Bardon. I have removed their names and just left their initial on this photo, all these letters though will be placed in a book for me to keep forever… 💜💜
Some lovely feedback…. 💕💕💕
"Yesterday the 15th May we had the privilege of a visit from Trish at our Senior Citizens rooms here in Stanthorpe…… Listening to her story is inspirational. The obstacles both emotional and physical she has had to overcome is miraculous but with her determination not to let her 'disability' define who she is she inspires children and adults alike.
She is an incredible Artist, an incredible Speaker and most of all an incredible human being.
To her Mother I would like to say 'thank you' for raising such an incredible child who has grown up in to a warm , loving, empathetic and accepting adult……….. Trish makes the world a safer place for others with physical obstacles to overcome……… Thank you Trish and of course Trevor for your tireless work and dedication to educate children and adults alike to the constant battles and obstacles that people with disabilities face……..hopefully that education will bring change however small and that it will continue to send out positive ripple effects to everyone . An act of kindness that I know that everyone at Senior Citizens will be passing on…..bless you." — Brenda
I had the pleasure of visiting and talking to a tiny country school, Mt Hunter, in NSW, it has only around 38 students. When I arrived I was greeted with a chorus of "Hello Trish" with lots of smiles beaming at me. I was then shown to one of their classrooms where in the windows hung drawings the children had drawn with their interpretations of some of my artwork. This brought me so many emotions that tears welled up in my eyes, as they say 'imitation is the greatest form of flattery'. This is a short video of the window with all the artwork the children from prep to grade 6 did for me.
I love doing these talks and while the children get something out of listening to them and my health allows me, I will continue..
At Lawnton State School we dream big and have a philosophy that all our students, regardless of circumstances, are expected to aim and achieve high. Today Trish you were the epitome of grace and dignity and all things that Lawnton hold true. Our students were fascinated with your talk today and the positive way you promoted success on all levels and under all circumstances.
Our Facebook page is buzzing with excited parents and children sharing your journey and with one of our little year 1 students telling him mum, "see I can do it mum, Trish said there is no such word as "Can't" You have made such a positive impact on all our community with sharing your story.
I love how both you and Trevor gave your time so freely to stay back with the myriad of students wanting you to draw for them and just be with you.
We have officially made you a Lawnton legend and would love to have you back to our school on our "Dream Big" afternoons where we ask or community to share stories with our students to inspire them to reach for the stars.
Thank you again, you have changed someone's world today.
Principal, Lawnton State School
Good evening Trish and Trevor,
I just wanted to write and say a huge thank you to you both for coming to our school today and speaking with our community. Your message was so positive and powerful – and has had a big impact with our students and staff alike. At our school we are endeavouring to create leaders, and what better way to do this than to have someone who is an inspirational leader stand before our students and tell them their story of persistence, perseverance, courage and resilience. In speaking with our children today, I truly believe that you have altered the trajectory for some of our little guys in a positive and significant way… an outcome you may never get to hear about until 20 years from now – or maybe ever… but your message will resonate throughout their stories as they live their own lives and influence others in the way that you have influenced them. Just as your friend who was a teacher inspired you all those years ago by asking you to come to her school – you coming to speak at our school will no doubt have that very same impact.
On a personal note, meeting both you and Trevor has reaffirmed to me that there are still genuine and good people in the world, and that as a school we are not alone in trying to make tomorrow a better place for our kids. This has lifted me and has solidified my resolve that we can make a real difference in lives. Thank you.
Now we do things a little bit differently at our school compared to everywhere else that you might have been – and we are big believers in things happening at our school for a reason… so as we mentioned today you are now both officially adopted by our school community and are part of our Lawnton State School family. We viewed today as the start of a beautiful friendship and look forward to seeing how we will continue to cross paths along the way… this is non optional. J
I have included below a quick snip off our school's Facebook page from a post that was put up earlier… Never underestimate the difference one person with a story to tell can make or where their influence might end!
Thank you again and we look forward to catching up again soon.
Warm regards,
Teacher, Lawnton School.
Feedback from a teacher at a school on the Gold Coast that I spoke at yesterday.
'Students were mesmerised by Trish's inspirational presentation today. Her delivery was heartfelt and authentic. She left so many messages for our young people… empathy, stop the bullying, never let anyone tell you that you can't and to be resilient. You could hear a pin drop in the audience and numerous students thanked Trish for sharing her story and felt motivated to embrace their fears'
I really can't thank you enough for helping our young people as they face their daily challenges.
Trevor, thankyou also for being so tech savvy and being such a big part of this.
