text: A Day Retreat Of Yoga April 10, 2017April 11, 2017 Marta It's glorious, sunny Sunday. The weekend has been the warmest so far this year and with temperatures around 23'C the sunglasses are out and we are happily wearing short sleeves. Ali picks me up just in her sports-wagon (nice change to the usual kids-wagon aka people carrier) and just after 9am we are off for a day of yoga retreat. We've been looking forward to it for weeks – not only the prospect of a 'day off' away from kids and family seems exciting as it is (we love them dearly btw but sometimes it's nice for mums to have a break!) but a girls day out on a glorious, sunny day doing yoga seems ideal to kick-start the spring. We've arrived in a picture-perfect village of Axbridge, Somerset surrounded by Mendip hills (near Cheddar Gorge). Idyllic landscapes, little river, charming, old stone-built cottages and farms. Our yoga retreat takes place in the village hall which is another charming stone-built building with little bell tower on top of the roof. Upon entry into the hall we are greeted by a big smile from Emma who runs our yoga classes which we tend to attend twice a week. Big, spacious room is warm and welcoming. The sunlight is pouring into the room and floods it with gold light. It is a beautiful, sunny day, the birds are singing and I can see large bamboo trees dancing in the wind just outside the window. The hall is lovely and the building looks very old with thick stone walls, church-like recessed windows and vaulted ceiling exposing beautiful wooden structure of the roof with all the beams and rafters. We can smell the gentle and warm scent of the essential oils vapour. The room has a lovely set up for the practise with Hindu wall hangings around the room and a little Buddha altar made for the occasion. The wooden floor is filled with mats and people sitting on them casually drinking cups of herbal tea. People are chatting while settling in on their mats before the practise begins. Relaxing music in the background. It's around 20 of us. We find Sarena in the kitchen where she starts some food preparation for lunch and pours us a cup of tea. After a chat and a cuppa we settle on our mats ready for yoga. Emma has a wonderful voice which guides us through the practice. The way she describes the pose changes just resonates in you effortlessly so you don't have to think too much and the practise just floats smoothly. We change the poses warming up, stretching and relaxing. Somewhat I'm thankful that it is not one of those 'hard core'/ advanced level sessions which I sometimes attend. No head stands attempts today but quite warming and relaxing practise. The session comes to a close with a sound of a bell which echoes through my body and brings me back to the room and Namaste. We take a break to have an Ayurvedic tea and take in some rays of sunshine outside while looking at the Mendip hills surrounding the village. Morning Mantra Practice to clear, balance and strengthen is something totally new to us. Coming to it with an open mind and no expectations we are open for this new experience. We all seat in the circle and chant in 'call & response' repeating after Sarena. The chanting is based on repeating sing-song tones. It creates vibrations that start around my nose, cheek bones and then spread in waves around my body as I take a breath in between one chant and the next one. It is a warmly pleasing sensation that I can feel in my internal organs. As we have paper hand-outs to help us follow new words which are in Sanskrit language, the chanting has a positive impact on body and mind. As I focus on intonation of our chants, my head clears, all thoughts drift away, everything seems distant and I focus on breathing. The melodies of the chants, despite originating from ancient India sound so familiar which takes me by a surprise. It reminds me of the intonation chanting done by priests in Catholic Church during the mass. When I listen with my eyes closed I could have been in an ancient temple in Norway, India or in Medieval Rome. This only shows how much different religious rituals have in common and how sound is used in different spiritual traditions around the world. An hour session of chanting is drawn to a close by a sound of a bell which resonates within me and as the sound waves spread through my body, I feel quite unusual sensation of calm, peace and joy. Now the lunch smells good and it's time to set up the tables, chat and mingle with other people while the lunch is served. It's an Ayurvedic, Indian inspired cuisine of sweet potato and chick peas curry with mango chutney and Kichari rice.The meal just hit the spot perfectly – it was tasty, light and refreshing. Check out the recipe and find out more about Ayurvedic healing here: http://birchmoon.co.uk/healing-art-aurveda/ With the maps hand-out of the local area it's time for a walk and tackle those picturesque Mendip Hills. We had few possible walks marked on the map and we were adamant to take some good pictures from the top of the hill. I haven't really measure the time but I think it took us around 30-40 minutes to reach the peak at which point I thought I was going to die and spit my lungs out…It seemed like a very steep and long incline! The view was pretty amazing although it was a hazy day so we didn't see as much as we would like to. In the heat of the sun and with a little breeze on top of the hill we took a little rest on the grass to take in the view. It was time to go down which was more pleasurable as we paid more attention to the views around. You could just see the nature waking to life after the stagnation of winter.As Ali fancied a little rest and some tea before the next session I went for another shorter walk across the village and along the Old River Axe. Afternoon Mantra Practise was heart centred for nourishment and nurturing and was another great session of chanting which brought to us mindfulness and relaxation with a sound. Sarena has a lovely melody in her voice and it seemed as the chanting came quite naturally to everyone and it has a beautiful sound to it. With my eyes closed once again I felt as if I was in some ancient temple. Restoration Yoga was something different. We haven't tired it before. Much slower and even more relaxing to usual yoga session where positions are arranged with a support of yoga bolsters which are big and quite heavy rolls like pillows filled with grain. The poses are held for a longer period of time. But the deep relaxation afterwards was from another world and that will be something that I will be raving on about for some time. It was extremely relaxing experience and the one that I haven't encountered before to such a strong degree. The first thoughts that come to mind is to describe it as a mix of beautiful, natural high and a something heading towards an out of body experience… Yeah, I actually can't believe that being a sceptic, I'm actually writing this but it's the closest way of describing it. With the relaxing music in the background, Emma took us on a little journey around different places in the world. Despite not being able to move due to being in a similar state when you are just before drifting off to sleep, you felt as if you really were lying on the sand on a hot beach with sun rays directly on you and feeling the heat. Moment later we were on a top of a cold mountain taking it the views of a snowy peaks. But the weirdest experience was the sensation as if your body was an empty shell and you were a little, tiny ball of gold light inside it moving from the finger tips to your thigh bone and just moving around the empty shell of your body… Then there was the sensation as if your whole body was as light as a feather and floating few inches above the ground. This was followed by a sensation as if your body was lying on a plank of wood which was shifting to one side and it just felt as if you are really on some sort of table and you are going to fell of it… As it usually happens just after the relaxation which follows the usual yoga practice, few people fell asleep and a little snoring which I could hear resulted with a mini eruption of giggles but I had to fight hard not to make a sound not to disrupt others. In the end Emma brought us back to the room making us more aware of our breathing and our body. The practise concluded with sitting up straight and Namaste. I found the Day Yoga Retreat extremely relaxing and enjoyable. We had the most glorious spring weather with warm temperatures and sun shining, idyllic setting and most lovely teachers. Both yoga practice and mantra chanting was beautiful and I had a fabulous time with my friend as well as meeting and chatting to other people. My adventure with yoga started just nearly year ago when a friend recommended it to me as a nice addition to my weight loss training. I was running nearly every day, eating healthy to shift some post-baby weight but I felt that I needed something extra. Yeah, different people mentioned yoga before, they even showed me some yoga poses etc which could help me with my back problems but I had to attend my first classes to get hooked and I've been a big fan of yoga since. As Emma my yoga teacher says: Take from the practice what you need. You can get into yoga on many different levels. You can use it as a fantastic form of exercise which definitely helps with weight loss, toning up your body, flexibility but it will also help you with your back problems. It is also fantastic way of energising your body, clearing your mind, reducing stress and making you feel a happier person. Few reasons why yoga works for me: It tones your body -after 2 months I've seen a noticeable difference It keeps my back problems at bay when I'm practising regularly It gives me higher energy levels with to deep relaxation and no problems with insomnia I often find that people who haven't tired yoga like to pigeon-hole people who do yoga as perhaps a bit with a bit of a 'hippy' vibe and I must admit that I wasn't too sure about it either but it works for me.

Anna: "No way!!! I want to stay the way I am. If I should cut my hair, that's only because I want to."
How should you describe yourself:

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'opinions' tag.
I admit it, every four years I just dread election year. This year though seems even worse than normal. I guess part of the problem this year is Facebook and other social media. It seems like I have friends on both sides of the spectrum and then some of these get quite upset when you do not feel the same as they do. I did not vote for Obama 4 years ago, and I am not going to vote for him this time either. I have no problem with posting pics, links, etc. that state my opinion of our president and the job he has been doing. The problem with this is other people also have opinions and are not afraid to express them either. The problem comes in when you are dealing with the internet and people are not afraid to go on the attack, as you are not talking directly to another person, but to an impersonal computer screen so you feel this power to say whatever you want. I mean what consequences are going to happen? They defriend you? They type something ugly back to you? They delete your comment? It just seems like people are so different over the internet than they are in public, as there is really no consequences or backlash that comes from what you type on the screen.
I do remember four years ago when I was in for a yearly mammogram and the technician was all upset over Obama and the election. The problem is she waits until she gets me stuck in the machine and then starts telling me all about it. I did agree with her, but even if I didn't I wouldn't have said anything, as I really wanted out of the machine. I mean I hate mammograms as it is, as they hurt, especially when you are well endowed and they have to try to squish the girls flat. Ouch!! I sure didn't need the added problem of the tech going into a long, drawn out spew about how she disliked Obama, how he should not be elected, and what issues it would cause. Of course four year later she was right, but that really was not the time to let others know how she felt. Most people though in social situations avoid the big three topics… politics, religion and how much a person makes per year, but when it comes to the internet any topic is fair game. Don't like certain religions, just post on Facebook, Twitter, whatever and say whatever you feel. Don't like the way a certain person looks or acts, post their pic and talk all about them. It really is crazy, but I think I got off chasing rabbits here and need to get back to the subject at hand – election year.
I guess my main problem with election year is the fact that all the parties can take the same subject and twist it into their agenda or plans. It is kind of like religion. There are all type of denominations and they all can use the same scripture, but have a different meaning depending on their agenda. The same thing applies to politics. Whether it be taxes, jobs, etc., they can all take the same statistics and make it look bad for their opponent or good for themselves. It is called let's see what way we can spin the facts to work in our favor, and the ones who suffer from all this spinning is the American people, who have to suffer through the TV ads, debates, etc. until the election is finally over and then the fun begins.
I do think what upsets me the most is those people on Facebook who cannot handle other people's opinions. I posted the below picture and got cussed at from someone who I didn't think even used those type of words. I did add that Obama was one of the most unpatriotic presidents we have ever had, but really now. Like I posted back to her, if you can't handle the posts about politics, then maybe you need to stay off of Facebook until the election is over, because there is no way to get away from all the pictures, jokes, etc. that are being posted from all sides and you either ignore them, make your comments about it, or just take a hiatus from social media. Till next time….

I don't know why I keep worrying about people who doesn't really concern me nor quite as much appreciative of me and then I kept on hurting the ones who are really worrying and caring for me.
There's like this weird social side of me that keep coming out whenever I'm faced with people who are not close with me. And it's because of this stupid social side of me that keep getting me into stupid situations where I just allow people to trample over me.
Is there like a course / therapy session that can heal me of this side of me, because it's seriously making me damn depressed after everything has settled down.
If only I can be a little bit more indifference when I'm talking to people generally, this would definitely help make a lot of things better. Currently the stage / situation I'm in. It sucks.
Come on, my indifference, wake up dude.

One more…
Another day, another adventure. Kind of getting used to the changes around me. Still a lot of adjustments, a lot of hardships to face but it are still manageable thanks to the help of the people around me that never fails to give their support, directly or indirectly.
You heard (read) me right. Even if I seem so jolly and outspoken and talkative outside, I am very secretive. Seldom only knows what is really happening in my life. Seldom knows who the real me is. And even to those who I trust most opening up is really just a hard thing for me. It's just not me to bother them of my worries, I intend to fixed things by my own unless help is really necessary. So far everything is okay, I am doing my part and at times I seek the hands of those who I know can help, and I thank them for always being there.
Still a lot of fragments floating inside, can't really think of a solid argument for myself to focus on. Probably I really need a good vacation to rest and unwind. But until that time comes, I will still take things as they are and do the best for whatever situation comes.

"Every event has had its cause, and nothing, not the least wind that blows, is accident or causeless. "..In short, everything happens for a reason, what's supposed to happen will happen… if things don't go your way, it can be stressful, painful, and hard, but you don't always have to be in control. You may not understand why things are happening the way they are, but soon enough you'll know.
until then..

So much of the talk about the 2017-18 Kansas basketball team centered on whether the Jayhawks had enough depth, particularly in the front court, to be the kind of team they want to be and one the fans expect.
Friday night, in a 92-56, season-opening whipping of Tennessee State at Allen Fieldhouse, the fourth-ranked Jayhawks played a man down and proved even that was not a problem.
With just seven scholarship players available Friday instead of eight, thanks to Billy Preston drawing a one-game suspension for missing curfew and class in the 24 hours leading up to the game, the Jayhawks (1-0) did not miss a beat and continued to push the tempo and put pressure on overmatched Tennessee State from start to finish.
"It was always next man up," senior point guard Devonte' Graham said, adding that his team did not blink when it learned of Preston's absence. "We said in the locker room that we just knew we had to be even more aggressive and play even smarter on defense and not get in foul trouble."
Photo Gallery
Kansas v. Tennessee State
View a gallery of images from Friday night's game between the Jayhawks and Tigers at Allen Fieldhouse.
KU coach Bill Self said after the game that having Preston next to him all night instead of making plays out on the floor did not change much for the guard-heavy Jayhawks, who followed Graham (10 points, seven rebounds and 12 assists) and junior guard Lagerald Vick (23 points, five rebounds, three assists) to a red hot start.
"I thought we may have to (adjust)," Self said. "The only thing that I adjusted was just trying to make sure that Mitch (Lightfoot) and Dok (Azubuike) didn't both get two fouls early. So I was not going to play them together."
Disappointed by Preston's irresponsible behavior, Self credited the freshman forward for owning his mistake.
"We had curfew (Thursday) night and I was with them," Self marveled. "I fed 'em at 10:30. So to miss class today because his car was parked illegally because he came in so late last night... The great thing about Billy was he just told us. So there wasn't much of a decision to be made."

At one point, for a 2:09 stretch late in the first half, Self inserted 6-foot-5 walk-on Clay Young into the game to give Kansas a five-guard lineup. Even that worked. In his five minutes of action, the senior tallied three points, two assists and a plus-nine rating.
"I didn't anticipate putting Clay in," Self said. "But Clay did great when he was in there. But, no, it wasn't any different (without Preston)."
While Azubuike (13 points, six rebounds, two blocks in 30 minutes) and Lightfoot (six points, five rebounds, three blocks in 17 minutes) were able to hold down the interior on both ends of the floor, it was the KU offense that really gave Tennessee State fits.
Kansas opened the game by making its first nine shots and finished at 60 percent from the game.
"For us, it would've been better had they played bigger because the game would've been a little slower," said TSU coach Dana Ford. "We practiced the first four minutes of the game twice yesterday. But there was just not a lot that we could do. We paid for the Missouri game (on pay-per-view) and we even paid for the overseas exhibition they did (in Italy). We wasted a lot of money."
Said Self of his team's attacking mindset Friday night: "Compared to Fort Hays State (on Tuesday night), that was night and day from a speed standpoint. And I thought we tried to score. Sometimes you just move the ball to move the ball without moving it with a purpose."
Whether it was Graham driving to the rim to finish in traffic or dishing one of his 12 assists, both in half-court sets and in transition — one assist to Svi Mykhailiuk (15 points on 6-of-11 shooting) came from the other side of mid-court — the Jayhawks always looked assertive.
"We always want to play fast, up-tempo, because we know we've got quick guards that can make plays," Graham said. "Our main focus is, we say, 'Get downhill,' try to get two feet in the paint and make the defense collapse. It felt good. I love sharing the ball and getting guys open shots."
Self loves seeing it.
"He didn't score the second half and he dominated the game," Self said of Graham. "I know Lagerald scored the points, but Devonte' controlled the game."
Friday's victory, though hardly unexpected, was the perfect response to the dud the Jayhawks delivered in the exhibition finale three days earlier.
With fifth-ranked Kentucky looming Tuesday in the Champions Classic in Chicago, both Self and Graham said having a performance like this to build on would be good.
"Exactly what we were looking for," said Graham, who added 10 points and seven rebounds to his triple-double-threatening stat line. "We knew we couldn't come out sluggish again. We've gotta try to start every game like that because it really gets us going and kind of sends a message to the other team."
Added Self: "Having some momentum and a couple positive things happen will definitely help our preparation the next couple of days."

Great show by the Jayhawks!
Svi can really shine by playing smart, utilizing his speed combined with Graham's eagle eye.
Vick, by now, he's got every KU opponent's attention. This guy is for real. A threat inside and outside. But he will need to bulk up a bit, he seems a bit thin.
Udoka needs to be more active rebounding offensively. Newman, another choice of perimeter shooter. Garrett is ready to start any game.
Lightfoot, stay active, but dont' get confused, boy! Billy, better get your s&it together if you want to build your career right, kid!
Bryce Landon
If Billy Preston is going to get himself suspended, this wasn't a bad game to be suspended for. We did just fine without him.
Props to Preston for being forthright about things instead of trying to hide it from Coach Self the way Josh Jackson tried to hide rear-ending that guy in the parking lot.
Kit Duncan
Dok' Is only credited with two blocks? If not "blocks" he redirected at least a half dozen more!
Also, Mitch showed great form shooting the three! I thought he played pretty aggressive, too. Three blocks seems about right.
George Powell
A little bit concerned with 20 turnovers and having 4 guards handling the ball, that should be taking of the ball.
But a great game, now on to the Blue Blood war, Go Jayhawks!!
Martin Rosenblum
There's got to be a guard who can fill the "Devonte to Mason" role. When Devonte was on the bench, Newman ran point a couple of times as did others without much leadership. Good ball movement, but not the perception of a PG. Maybe that is not a bad thing though, so that the other team doesn't know who's in charge of the play!
Vick is getting the respect he deserves with his shots as well as his tenacity. His interview skill, however, still needs some tweaking. He lets his play do the talking!
Michael Sillman
I don't think that Vick will even be able to bulk up but that's not a bad thing. He needs to stay lean and mean. It makes him a slasher and a high flyer. I expect that he will make the highest number of appearances on the ESPN top ten of anyone on the team.
Steve Zimmerman
If he wants to play in the NBA, he should.
Harlan Hobbs
I agree, Michael. LaGerald just seems to have another gear when he is driving to the basket and going to the glass for offensive rebounds. We will definitely see some spectacular and athletic dunks by him on ESPN.
Shannon Gustafson
That's assuming they show KU on ESPN at all. I recorded and watched 2.5 hours of Sportscenter after the game to catch up with the other games on opening night and they never even showed the KU game. I was so confused by this I recorded another Sportscenter that came on after the first two and watched it this morning and still there was no KU game highlights. Every one of them opened with Mizzou, then Kentucky, then Duke, but never any KU at all. It was quite odd.
Steve Zimmerman
Let's wait until we skin them cats fur this Tuesday.

Static electricity is a kind of electric energy, Antistatic Vinyl Gloves it remains on the surface of the object, is the positive and negative charge in the local range of the result of loss of balance, is formed by the conversion of electrons or ions. The electrostatic phenomenon is the general term for the electrical phenomena that occur during the generation and disappearance of the charge. Such as friction from the power, the body electrification and other phenomena.
With the development of science and technology, Antistatic Vinyl Gloves electrostatic phenomena have been widely used in electrostatic spraying, electrostatic weaving, electrostatic sorting, electrostatic imaging and other fields. On the other hand, the generation of static electricity in many areas will bring significant harm and loss. For example, in the first Apollo manned spacecraft, Antistatic Vinyl Gloves three astronauts were killed by electrostatic discharge, and in the case of an electric discharge (ESD) in the manufacture of gunpowder. In the electronics industry, with the increasing integration, the integrated circuit of the inner insulation layer is getting thinner, the interconnecting wire width and spacing are getting smaller and smaller, for example, CMOS device insulation layer typical thickness of about 0.1μm, Its corresponding breakdown voltage in the 80-100V; VMOS device insulation thinner, breakdown voltage at 30V. And in the manufacture of electronic products and transportation, storage and other processes generated by the electrostatic voltage far more than the MOS device breakdown voltage, Antistatic Vinyl Gloves often the device will produce a hard breakdown or soft breakdown (device local damage) phenomenon, so that failure Or seriously affect the reliability of the product.
In order to control and eliminate ESD, the United States, Western Europe and Japan and other developed countries have developed national, military and corporate standards or regulations. From the electrostatic sensitive components of the design, manufacture, purchase, storage, inspection, storage, assembly, commissioning, semi-finished and finished product packaging, transportation, etc. Antistatic Vinyl Gloves have the corresponding provisions of the electrostatic protection equipment manufacturing use and management also has more stringent regulations System requirements. China has also developed military and enterprise standards in the light of international standards. For example, there are space, the Ministry of Electrical and Mechanical, Ministry of oil and other standards.
Electrostatic sensitive devices are known as electrostatic sensitive components (SSDs). Electrostatic sensitive devices mainly refer to ultra-large scale integrated circuits, especially metallized film semiconductors (MOS circuits). Table 1 is the classification of static-sensitive devices.Antistatic Vinyl Gloves According to the SSD rating table, for different SSD devices, take different electrostatic protection measures.
(1) the activities of the human body, people and clothes, shoes, socks and other objects between the friction, contact and separation of electricity generated by electronic products is one of the main electrostatic source. Human body static electricity is the main cause of the device to produce hard (soft) breakdown. Human activities produce an electrostatic voltage of about 0.5-2KV. In addition, the air humidity has a great influence on the electrostatic voltage, and if it is up to an order of magnitude in a dry environment.
(2) chemical fiber or cotton work clothes and workmans, chair friction, the clothing surface can produce more than 6000V electrostatic voltage, and make the body live, Antistatic Vinyl Gloves then contact with the device, it will lead to discharge, easy to damage the device.
(3) rubber or plastic soles of the insulation resistance up to 1013Ω, when the friction with the ground when the static electricity, and the body charged.
(4) resin, paint film, plastic film packaging device in the packaging of transport, the device surface and packaging material friction can produce a few hundred volts of electrostatic voltage, the discharge of sensitive devices.
(5) Various packaging, cartridges, and turnover of PP (Polypropylene), PE (Polyethylene), PS (Polystyrene), PVR (Polyurethane), PVC and Polyester, Antistatic Vinyl Gloves Resin and other polymer materials Box, PCB frame, etc. may be due to friction, the impact of 1-3.5KV static voltage generated, the sensitive parts of the discharge.
(6) ordinary work surface, by friction generated static electricity.
(7) concrete, wax polishing floor, rubber plate and other insulation on the ground insulation resistance is high, the human body electrostatic charge is not easy to leak.
(8) electronic production equipment and tools: such as electric iron, wave soldering machine, reflow furnace, placement machine, Antistatic Vinyl Gloves commissioning and testing equipment within the high-voltage transformers, cross / blind flow circuit will be induced in the equipment, static electricity. If the equipment electrostatic discharge measures are not good, will cause the sensitive device in the manufacturing process failure. The hot air circulation in the oven is rubbed against the cabinet, and CO2 vapor in the CO2 cooler tank can produce a large amount of static charge.

Marathon 31 - Company!
Right people, John's mate Dave here doing the blog for today. Aren't they doing well John and Hannah? The fact that they're still together after more than 30 days on the road living in each others' pockets is an achievement in itself! Hard graft for these two. Today was just like so many. Up early to the chime of church bells and back on the road. The challenge for John is to keep his weary body going through the pain and discomfort of another 26.2 miles. The challenge for Hannah is to single-handedly 'run the show' by providing John with logistical support. Hopefully, I was able to break up their routine a bit today. I'll be the first to poke fun at John (as every good mate should) for setting himself such a demanding challenge and then complaining when his body threatens to break down (if you set out to do 50 marathons in 50 days something's gotta give - although I can back up one wall comment that John really is looking slimmer than Eddie Izzard!). However, seeing John's determination and Hannah's dedication first hand, and trying to run just the odd mile with John through the day, the gags go out the window and I'm filled with respect for what John and Hannah are doing here and the commitment they're making to the cause. Like John says in one of today's videos, if you haven't already donated, please do, and if you're able to spread the word to friends and family and encourage them to give too, I know John and Hannah would really appreciate it. I'm emailing a few friends myself right now. I better get off now as John's just made me a cup of tea and I don't want to drink it cold. Hopefully, he'll be getting the dinner on soon!
Enjoyed reading Dave's blog tonight as we have just arrived home after a round trip driving approximately eight hundred miles. I calculate this to be slightly less than John's run so far. You both are absolutely amazing!( Unfortunately I cannot play the video clips this evening which is disappointing.)..........."Well baby, listen baby, don't ya treat me this-a-way. Cause I'll be back on my feet some day. Hit the road Jack......" Ray & Joy X

Great to have company! And what you're doing just gets ever more impressive. It must seem like a slog some of the time - but it is fantastic; it's in a great cause, it's breaking the boundaries and it is an inspiration.

This is an urubu. It's a type of Cathartidae, or vulture.
I'm in the middle of the home stretch for this academic semester, so the A-Z challenge gets what it gets. And today it gets a sketch of a bird whose name starts with a U. Yep.
But you know what? Every creature has its reason and its place. His place may not be pretty or "cute," but it's no less important. So, here's the my urubu sketch, even if he's not cute and seems out of place in this blog.
And just so that today's post isn't so random - go check out my new post at the caffeine coquette, where I talk about making unique cards for Mother's Day.

Democratic Platform Fails to Advocate for Federal WorkforceWednesday, July 27, 2016
View full release, here.
Washington, DC – With the Democratic National Convention underway in Philadelphia, Penn., William R. Dougan, National President of the National Federation of Federal Employees, America's first federal employee union, issued the following statement on the 2016 Democratic Platform:
"While certainly better than the destructive GOP Platform adopted at last week's Republican National Convention, the 2016 Democratic Platform does little in the way for federal employees. It is discouraging that a platform repeatedly referencing federal resources and programs fails to mention supporting the workforce tasked with administering those programs. At a time when federal employees are under constant attack from a hostile Congress, we need real allies ready to stand with us in our fight. We need solutions to close the 35 percent pay gap between federal employees and private sector workers. We need progress on ending the senseless sequestration cuts that has placed a significant burden on federal agencies carrying out the business of the American people. Unfortunately, the 2016 Democratic Platform largely misses the mark federal employees need."
"Over the last six years, through pay freezes, small raises and increased worker contributions to retirement benefits, federal employees have sacrificed what will amount to $182 billion in compensation over ten years; a number that will continue to grow because the cuts were made permanent. This is a trend that needs to be reversed. While we are encouraged to see federal employee-advocate Sen. Tim Kaine as the Democratic Vice Presidential nominee, the 2016 Democratic Platform fails to advocate for the federal workforce. However, we remain hopeful that a Clinton presidency would recognize the importance of America's civil servants and work to undue the steep cuts and sacrifices federal employees have made in recent years."
# # #
Established in 1917, the National Federation of Federal Employees is the oldest union representing civil service federal employees. NFFE represents 110,000 federal employees in 35 departments and agencies government-wide, including the majority of federal wildland firefighters. NFFE is affiliated with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO. For more information, go to www.nffe.org.

Due to be hosted on Saturday at the Tupapa courts, the programme is now returning to Arorangi for the second week in a row after a high number of participants last weekend.
With 80 athletes turning out alongside 18 coaches, Pacific Sporting Partnership country co-ordinator John Glassie said the change of venue was necessary.
"We had a climb of 20 athletes between our first and second sessions to a total of 80 last weekend, and that was with at least 10 athletes unable to attend, so we could be looking this weekend at over 100 people, athletes and coaches and so we need the multiple courts at Arorangi."
Glassie said that the feedback has been all positive after the first two sessions.
"The participation has been fantastic and the feedback I have had from the kids is that they have really enjoyed the clinics," he said.
"They have said they have had a lot of fun and can't wait during the week for the next weekend's action."
Registration for the programme begins on Saturday at 7.30am, with the morning's action due to finish around 10am. There is also a coaches' meeting at 7am.
The Junior Foundation Development programme is aimed at developing youth and identifying talented young athletes aged from 10 to 13 years old.

|3149 (easy) 4500 (Normal) 5625 (hard)
|20 (easy) 30 (Normal) 37 (hard)
|First encountered
|Day 97, Antonia Gates
The orginal Lord Agony was Agonius. Very little of his history is known, but he is described as the greatest archineer in Antonia and the architect of the nation. However he became obessed with source and using it to create life. The King, seeing the danger in these expermiments, demanded Agonius halt his work. When he refused Agonius was banished from Antonia. Infuriated, Agonius assumed the mantle of Agony and created an army of artificial constructs known as clockworks to invade Antonia to take over the kingdom and its source wells.
Battle of Dark Ridge and Death of AgoniusEdit
After an unkown amount of time, the war continued to rage on with heavy losses on both sides. Agony was slowly gaining the advantage, but in a daring assualt, the Archineers broke through the Clockworks lines and launched an attack on Agony's Fortress situated in Dark Ridge. Two archineers, Kenan and Jacob, led the attack and managed to fight their way to Agony's chambers. Kenan, the weaker of the two, was injured and stayed behind while Jacob confronted Agony alone. When he came face-to-face with the elder archineer, Agony was a old and frail man who was near death. It is unknown exactly what was said between the two, but in the end Agony showed Jacob his life's work, a young Lock. Lock was to be Agony's perfect creation: a Clockwork almost indestinguishable from a human. In his final act Agony transferred his own soul to Lock to give him true life. Again it is not clarified exactly what happened, but shortly aftarward there was a huge explosion, Dark Ridge was destroyed and the Clockworks where left leaderless and quickly defeated. Agony and Jacob where presumed dead while Kenan later became the head of the Archineers.
Rise of the Second Lord AgonyEdit
After the death of the orginal Agony, Jacob turned to a self imposed exile, studying Agony's work and attempting to replicate it, as was how Emi was created. After some time spent raising Lock and Emi, Jacob began building a second clockwork army. He took up the mantle of Lord Agony and began a new war for the kingdom. (it should be noted that his new Clockworks were apprently inferior to the orginal, being weaker and less intellegent than Agonius's) he continued to raise Lock and Emi, unaware of the war.

Okay, so Nissan has announced a new model equipped with "highly concentrated Plasmacluster Ions - developed by Sharp - that will help keep the skin naturally moisturised." (Again, with the crazy British spelling...)
It will also install "'friendly' speedometers that will remind you of wedding anniversary dates or birthdays." (But no texting or calling while (whilst?) driving...safety first!)
It will also come with "'Forest AC' air conditioning system which is designed to recreate 'the refreshing breezes, temperature, humidity and aroma of natural forests'". (Insert something here please--it's early and I didn't sleep well last night...)
The car will even "be able to detect various...bad smells - such as from animals and factories - and will automatically switch the ventilation on if required." ("Hey, what's that smell?" "Oh, uh...must be an animal. Or a factory! Yeah, gotta be a factory, sweetheart...)
Additionally, Nissan says it plans to install a safety system that, upon detecting a pedestrian, will "automatically raise the accelerator pedal and begin to break while beeping."
The car slows, beeps, then breaks?
Hm, I thought that was only supposed to happen to Toyotas.

The people of Edo State have
lived under a siege and godfather-dominated political
structure since 1999. When it comes to politics, trite
elections are power pyramid. This nearly unbroken 11 years
of vague domination and subjugation is what makes partial
successes of the PDP until they shot themselves in the foot.
It is a big relief that the Action Congress, AC has taken
the task of reprieve to opening up and fastens the power
structure of Edo State political landscape.
The PDP local government chairmen and councilors in the 18
local government councils have never really been there on
behalf of the people, vis-ŕ-vis the fraud that attended
their elections. They are only focused on their joys,
pleasures, and certitudes of their everyday lives. Now, they
quivered at the likely disruption of that routine meanness
that takes away the peoples' patrimony for which they
earlier pride themselves of retaining till Heaven – knows –
when. We have argued repeatedly that electoral corruption
will only encouraged and entrenched material corruption and
that is what we have had in the last 12-year or so of our
democratic experiment.
There is no use stressing the fact to an elastic point that
those who have held Edo State and her people hostage
insouciantly for years at the expense of the peoples'
aspiration; amassing unearned wealth and perquisites of mob
governance are at best troubled about their dangling fate,
at worse, their outright failure to keeping the people in
the ditch, perpetually. The foregoing altercation, blackmail
and the illogical stand point from which the 18 local
councils are viewing their objection to the creation of jobs
for the teaming youths of Edo State indigenes and none
indigene alike calls for concern.
It is laughable as much as it is bemoaning that the local
government chairmen who had confessed to doling out N10
million each every month to minister to the ego of a petite
hounds of godfathers – not the people – have engaged
themselves in a self-destructive pursuit that will deepened
the state's poverty index in the long run. Granted that it
is not easy to change power arrangements even in a nation or
state where people have gained tremendous freedom of speech
and the right to vote and be voted for, but it is pertinent
however that the people whose behest government is
constituted deserve the minimum right to access the basics
of lives. No government worthy of the name which cannot
afford her people that contractual obligation of being there
on behalf of the mass of them ever existed.
The most disturbing of it all is the statement credited to
the Chairman of Edo State chapter of the Coalition of
Registered Political Parties, Dr. Samson Isibor in support
of the position of local government chairmen ''that
Oshiomhole was only attempting to force the council chairmen
elected under the manifesto of another party to contribute
to the actualization of the manifesto of his party, the
AC''. That, regrettably confirmed what an elected councilor
under the platform of PDP, Owan West local government area
of ward 7 told me few days ago in my local government that
the job creation drive of Adams Oshiomhole-led
administration is a misnamed gambit harped on party
patronage for Action Congress AC, members. He gave a logic
that had solely characterized PDP style of governance –
winner takes all – since 1999. He was categorical that if
for instance it was his billing to give job to, say 100
people in his ward the chances are that 99.9 percent will go
to his party, the PDP. But when I reminded him that
Oshiomhole had appointed other political parties' as his
Commissioner and the like; he retorted to drawing binocular.
Sadly, that is the local government council where, for
nearly 8-year the chairman, Daniel Asekhamen has been on
sabbatical. He simply emerges from the blues at the end of
every month and drives from the state capital, pays salaries
and shares other monies and disappeared until it is time to
share the next subvention. Now, his status grows over night
at the penumbra of the creeping poverty everywhere you turn,
while he promptly proceeds to maintain a luxurious lifestyle
in the heart of the state capital.
The job creation is one of the assurances Oshiomhole-led
administration had given the good people of Edo State which
will remove the state from the parlous state of civil
service state to industrialized state. One of the policy
trusts of this administration is the creation of jobs for
the idle youths; to lead in the vanguard of job creation
that will see government at all level embarking on job
creation, without which the intimidating army of unemployed
youths will break free from the given squalor and idleness
and help themselves to criminality. If government is not to
partner, cooperate, and work harmoniously in the interest of
the people who elected them irrespective of party
affiliation, why else is it there?
Whether or not local government council chairmen are ready
to cooperate will not deter Oshiomhole-led government to
back off from its quest of continuing the actualization of
the set objective of job creation. It is on record that
Oshiomhole as a social change agent, a very highly organized
and disciplined personage, drawing in the main from great
physical and inner strength and from his strong moral belief
and supreme confidence in his shared theoretical analysis,
will make a great impact in Edo State, with or without PDP
local government chairmen contributions. If things must
change in Edo State , then people have to get out of their
routine enlightened self-interests one way or the other.
There has to be a social disruption, a process that has a
shared political identity such that people can aggregate
their wants within a system they help to put in place.
It is disgraceful to hear the local government chairmen
whose duty it is to create jobs at the grassroots, but never
did, constitute themselves into antiestablishment; just to
plead loyalty to their various or central godfathers who
goaded them on to back off from their earlier agreement to
partner with the Adams Oshiomhole administration in the area
of job creation and youth empowerment. This administration
is just extreme enough to bring about effective synergy that
will galvanize an ailing state as Edo, revamps its cultural
heritage, resuscitates the comatose sports industry,
rehabilitates the decayed infrastructures, paves the roads
and make Edo state great again where one and all will be
attracted to do business irrespective of his political
learning or geopolitical divide.

{Ms. Personality} ~ Colorado Springs newborn photographer
Meet my new niece, Sophia. She is going to fit into the family perfectly because she's already got tons of personality (and is even a bit sassy/stubborn like the rest of us). My sister flew me out to Utah to take these but the "Sophster" had her own agenda and decided to come a month early. My flight was already booked so she is a not-so-new-newborn in these pics hence, being WIDE awake in most of these. I got to snuggle her so that was especially fun! Check out the faces she makes..they are so hilarious!
This one makes me giggle. She looks like she's already a teenager fussing when her Mom kisses her.
This one is a hoot. She's only a month old and looks like she's totally hamming it and smiling.
All I have to say is that hanging babies is a LOT harder than it looks!
Awww...it's so great to see my lil sis as a Mommy!
