Advice to Incoming Students
Be self-motivated to invest in wingmates and classmates, as well as in your course work. Classes are as good as you make them, and you are responsible to learn. Get to know your professors. Get involved in service/ministry, as well as spontaneous fun!
Why I Came to Taylor
I love Taylor and think it is a wonderful place to go to school and to work. My husband and I graduated from Taylor and worked in Student Development for several years. We left the state to pursue other career and life goals. After 10 years, we came back to Indiana hoping to be involved once again at Taylor. I love the atmosphere of an intentional and caring community of students, staff, and faculty. The focus on teaching and scholarship, discipleship, and integrity make for a strong faculty. I love the campus, but especially the people and the mission. I enjoy teaching highly motivated and Christ honoring students to help them develop into Christian adults.
- Spending time with my 5 children (two of whom are Taylor students) and husband.
- Reading, walking, camping, traveling, playing games, cooking, and hosting people in our home.
- Church involvement – children's ministries, small group, women's Bible Study.

Well, I haven't been here for a while, so let's give a quick recap of what's going on in the world of Warren.
First, I've moved! I'm now in a much nicer housing unit living across the hall from my friend Dave and down the street from another one of my coworkers, Jake. I have to say that I was very impressed with the state that this particular appartment was left in, and our landlord has been nothing less than incredible.
Business is still going strong, and for anybody interested in having their computers fixed or purchasing home electronics, you can feel free to send me a message. I've got a few new clients here and there which may lead to me actually having a positive income this year from my business partnership, Edgelink Consulting.
Work-wise, I'm back at RIM for the summer, returning to my roll as a BIS Tools Developer. The work isn't anything out of the ordinary, but I plan to put a few Warren-themed changes into the system. (No, Jake, I won't break anything.) I'm planning on starting my Work Report early this term so that I have plenty of time to review it.
School-wise, the winter 2009 term went really well. I ended up with (what I think) are pretty decent marks in my CS and Human Resources class, and an okay mark in statistics. With any luck, this means that I might actually be in good standing with UW (which I'm told is not an easy feat). Over the summer, I'll be taking another Professional Development course (Problem Solving), which should be, um, enlightening….
I haven't yet decided what I'm going to do with my free time this summer, but I'm going to try to focus on learning some C++ or Perl, and I should probably brush up on my PHP skills (check back later for an article on getting PHP running on IIS). I'd sort of like to update this site with some sort of software, but I don't have any ideas as to what to actually make.
I think that pretty much does it for now, but I'll try to update this thing once in a while.
– Warren

I loved this post! The photos, the menus....you are doing it, aren't you?ReplyDelete
Maria, happy new year to you! I've been meaning to tell you how inspiring I've been finding your posts lately about eating well and exploring the sugar-free, vegan side of things! I'm trying to be more mindful of what I'm eating and kicked things off with your green beauty juice and smoothie. So far, so delicious!ReplyDelete
Beautiful pictures!And some great recipes too. I could never go vegan, as I love eggs and cheese way too much, but I do enjoy incorporating some vegan meals in my weekly menus. So thanks for the inspiration!ReplyDelete
I'm always SO intrigued by other peoples meal plans :)
Yours look so vibrant - I was vegan for a while and it was NOT for me (I think I also combined it with restrictive eating, which wasnt great....). Having some vegan meals is such a good idea though - thanks for the inspiration! :)
Love what you are doing Maria! I could never be vegan but I have done several sugar free detoxes and have never felt better!ReplyDelete
I find your challenge so inspiring and think that I will definitely give it a go in the spring. Thanks for sharing these beautiful recipe ideas.ReplyDelete
This is seriously incredible! Did you come up with these recipes yourself or did you adapt them from other recipes? Thanks! :) XReplyDelete

As far as captaincy goes, I suggest let's be a bit different and take a risk. Rather than have one leader, let's focus on a collaborative effort. Let's take a more spontaneous and innovative route. Especially since we're unable to reach a consensus on who should take over captaincy. We're all intelligent, naturally talented cricketers, and if we can focus on collaborating and receiving input in regards to team composition and tactics from all of us, and then have one person collect our inputs and apply it, we'll certainly be able to catch the opposition by surprise with our team unity and respect for each other.
And some players of the team are yet to check-in, I'd certainly like to see each and every one of us get behind our team as we near our first game. Let's not forget this is India we're talking about, a team many of us are very fortunate to be a part of considering the large number of players that turned up for try-outs. We're the best of the lot, the cream of the crop. Let's represent our nation proudly. Inch by inch, we'll drive them hard, we'll take them down. Let's rip apart the opposition, I ask for a ruthless approach from each and every one of us. Blood by blood, sweat by sweat, we'll establish our dominance on our path to victory. They try and get even an inch on us, I want each and every one of us to defend that inch as if our lives depended on it. Let's get behind every player, respect each other, and back each other. We work hard as a team, we win as a team, and we rejoice as a team. Let's go out there and ensure that each and every one of these teams remembers the year they played the Indians.
Let's do this boys, let's win it!
I am an Indian born!
I am an Indian bred!
And till I die
I am an Indian lad!

Oh dear, it's back again!
Channel 5 have just run a series of stings prompting the second series of the 10,000BC programme (this time there are two tribes, one male and one female) and this time I will not be paying it any attention (but felt that I should let members know just in case they want a good laugh)

La Jolla Cove, Scripps Park, and the surrounding area is a great place for families to explore together. It surprises me when I talk with native of San Diegans who have never been to this area of La Jolla! It is, in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful places on Earth!
La Jolla Cove is actually an Ecological Reserve known for it's beauty and as a popular destination for scuba divers, snorkelers, kayakers, and strong swimmers. The cliffs to the east of The Cove have some GREAT hiking trails, which are easy enough to use with a jogging stroller. The paved path to the west of The Cove takes you on one of the most scenic walks above the Pacific Ocean.
Above The Cove is Ellen Browning Scripps Park, which is a very popular place to picnic. There is no playground here, but plenty of grass to run around. There's also a sprawling paved path you can take from The Cove, and along Coast Boulevard which is a really scenic walk. From this path you may see dolphins, seals, sea lions, and if you go at the right time of year (generally mid January through early March) you may even see the migration of the gray whales.
If you follow the path away from The Cove, south of Scripps Park, you'll come to some stairs which take you to what's known as Shell Beach. At low tide you may be able to see some tide pools. This is not my favorite tide pooling area, but if you happen to be there at low tide you might want to check it out. Be careful of the tide, as it can be very strong when it comes to shore.
Follow the path further down Coast Blvd., look out toward the ocean, and you'll see Seal Rock just south of Shell Beach. Out on Seal Rock you'll likely see sea lions and seals on the rocks. A large wave may come and knock them into the ocean, and you'll see them hobble back up on the rocks again. It's a lot of fun to watch them and take pictures.
Keep walking past the cliffs above Seal Rock, and you'll come to what's known as The Children's Pool. Here you'll find more seals and sea lions on the beach. This is not a destination to have children go on the beach, but it's a great place for kids to view the beach and mammals from a distance. Have fun!

Time Too.....
Can't tell what the day's going to be like today as I'm up too early, goodness know's why, just woke up, mind you, the birds singing might have had something to do with it, they are making a right racket, sounds like they're falling out over something, mustn't complain though as it is lovely to have them in the garden even though hubby spends a small fortune on nut's seeds and the like, he has quite a variety of stock for them in the shed, spoilt rotten they are, they get quite a feast from our garden.
I'm out with a friend today, a bit of retail therapy, we'll have a spot of lunch somewhere too so that will be nice. "We'll be calling in at 'The Range' so lets see if I manage to get round there without buying something from the craft department!

Sounds like you have a fab day planned Jacee, I'd say try not to spend too much but that's what retail therapy is all about :) There are some lovely new lines in at The Range at the moment which just happened to fall in to my basket the other day, just sayin' :)
On to your lovely card though, what a cute image and your pocket watch looks great with the glossy accents on the glass. A beautiful card for those awkward to make male birthdays (well I find them difficult anyway). Enjoy your day!

Hi Jacee I must admit that I spoil the birds as well, I buy the suet pellets by the bagful, but it pays off with so much activity and singing, when I am up at 4.30 am I love to stand at the back-door and hear the dawn chorus, lol. Jacee I always, without exception, fall in love with your creations, this one is beautiful that image, the papers and design also the colours are awesome, so all that is left for me to say is I LOVE IT.

Another delightful image, and the clock face looks like it has so much dimension. Love the stitching and the DP that matches so nicely with the Teddy & his tic toc. Also like the way you've done the layout. We're seeing our yellow finches become brilliant yellow and they are enjoying not only the Nyger seed we have in a feeder, but also guzzling down the sunflower seeds we have for the other birds.

Hi Jacee, thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving kind words about my card. I appreciate it! What a lovely card you've made here. It's nice and masculine, cards that are more difficult to do. I like how you added the glossy accents to the watch. That teddy is adorable, too. I had a nice peek around and you do some lovely work. I'll be back for sure. Hope you had a grand time on your retail therapy expedition! Thanks again! Jeanne

Authored by Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Caner K. Dagli, Maria Massi Dakake, Joseph E.B. Lumbard, Mohammed Rustom
Introduction By Zahir Ebrahim | Project Humanbeingsfirst.org
November 30, 2015 | Last Updated December 1, 2015
The publisher, harpercollins.com, states in its introduction of the new translation of the Holy Qur'an:
Caption book cover The Study Quran, Harper Collins, Nov 2015
"An accessible and accurate translation of the Quran that offers a rigorous analysis of its theological, metaphysical, historical, and geographical teachings and backgrounds, and includes extensive study notes, special introductions by experts in the field, and is edited by a top modern Islamic scholar, respected in both the West and the Islamic world.
Drawn from a wide range of traditional Islamic commentaries, including Sunni and Shia sources, and from legal, theological, and mystical texts, The Study Quran conveys the enduring spiritual power of the Quran and offers a thorough scholarly understanding of this holy text.
Beautifully packaged with a rich, attractive two-color layout, this magnificent volume includes essays by 15 contributors, maps, useful notes and annotations in an easy-to-read two-column format, a timeline of historical events, and helpful indices. With The Study Quran, both scholars and lay readers can explore the deeper spiritual meaning of the Quran, examine the grammar of difficult sections, and explore legal and ritual teachings, ethics, theology, sacred history, and the importance of various passages in Muslim life.
With an introduction by its general editor, Seyyed Hossein Nasr, here is a nearly 2,000-page, continuous discussion of the entire Quran that provides a comprehensive picture of how this sacred work has been read by Muslims for over 1,400 years."
Just reading that lovely advert and the name of its distinguished first author got me to order this new English translation of the Holy Qur'an. I invite you to do so as well. The link for Amazon is below.
The quality of Holy Qur'an translations is a perennial issue. Like this scholar had so simply stated in his talk at Harvard University in 2010: the Holy Qur'an is fundamentally untranslatable – into any language (http://thecrimson.com/article/2010/10/29/wild-quran-translate-arabic/ ).
Nevertheless, translating the Holy Qur'an is often a labor of love, bordering on obsession in selfless service for those who undertake it. And sometimes, despite all their best intentions, they do miss by a mile. A few years ago, Dr. Seyyed Hossein Nasr's self-proclaimed protégé, the Iranian-American psychologist and translator of many books into English, Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar, prepared a translation titled 'The Sublime Quran' which was prominently billed by its publisher as the first English translation by an American woman. It was greeted with glee in The Times UK of March 31, 2007 with the eye-catching headline: "Wife-beating rejected in 'new' Koran". This much heralded work in the Western press unfortunately suffered from many obvious weaknesses which were cleverly camouflaged in irrelevant fancy academic jargon by the translator. Quickly returning that lame translation to the bookstore, I wrote a critique of that beautifully bound work and sent it to its author with this précis:
'In other words, in order to "religiously" maintain your academic notion of "internal consistency" and "formal equivalence", you deliberately sacrificed Semantic Equivalence!!' --- Zahir's letter to Laleh Bakhtiar, 2011
I hope that her notable teacher's new translation on the block now being billed as the best English translation for the modern Western English speaking audience, which CNN of course readily headlined on November 25, 2015 as "Could this Quran curb extremism?", has not only rectified the egregious error of failing to meet "semantic equivalence" even by a long shot as it was never the principal goal in 'The Sublime Quran' translation – the gold standard for any good translation into any target language – but suffers from no weaknesses that can at all be overcome in any translation of the Holy Qur'an into English by any human endeavor.
My two straws' worth of analysis of Laleh Bakhtiar's translation which explains "semantic equivalence" – a layman's critique at best, and if the translation could not pass the superficial scrutiny of even this layman, the silence of latter day scholars of Islam, like Dr. Nasr himself, on that translation so egregiously attempting to "bring reform to Islam" as repeatedly proclaimed by the translator to the Western news media, is not at all comprehensible – is here:
Strangely, Dr. Nasr never responded to my letter on his protégé's handiwork which I had hastily pegged as a politically motivated agendist translation, and for which, unfortunately, I never found any compelling evidence to revise that conclusion:
The proof of the pudding for this new entrée by Nasr et. al. will be in its eating of course. Not in its beautiful binding and book cover, or its imposing number of pages (the advert says 2048 pages in the hardcover), and nor in how many brilliant man-hours were spent in preparing it for what lofty purposes.
The accuracy and fidelity of any translation is gauged by semantic equivalence of the Qur'anic Arabic text translated and reframed into English such that the diligent English speaking audience get the same (or close to the same) understanding of the Qur'an from the translated English text as the diligent native Arabic speaking audience get from the Arabic text. That is the gold standard for any translation in general, and more so for a religious text being brought to a non-native speaking Western audience in an atmosphere such as the one we have today – of rising Islamofascism, and the political mileage being derived by bashing the religion of Islam on the one hand by setting up the strawman of "militant Islam", and its apologists sanitizing away the accurate meaning of the import of the religion of Islam to denying "taghoot" (villainy) its privileges of primacy on the other hand, as the "moderate Islam". In that synthetic discourse space artificially carved out by the "militant Islam" vs. "moderate Islam" dichotomy and so propagandistically introduced into the American and Western narrative since 9/11, the study of Islam and the Holy Qur'an has made a resurgence in the West, especially among its youth.
The interest in Islam is so overwhelming in the West that even the incumbent Iranian leader of Islamic Revolution, valih-e-faqih Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, seized upon this opportunity in his two open letters to the youth of America and Europe (see 21st Jan. 2015 and 29th of Nov, 2015), inviting them to study Islam on their own by going directly to the Holy Qur'an translation in the language they best understand, instead of learning about Islam and Muslims from their propagandistic news media. These two remarkably honest open letters the likes of which have not been witnessed from the pen of any modern statesman of recent history, straightforwardly state the global reality the way it actually is, in a style and candor that is reminiscent of prophetic wisdom sorely missing from global statesmanship today.
Well, all recognize that this oppressive atmosphere against Islam and Muslims in the West is also an opportunity to teach the religion of Islam as it is explained in its own singular scripture, the Holy Qur'an, to let the Holy Qur'an speak for itself. One hopes therefore, that this yet another new English translation of the Holy Qur'an by Nasr et. al. speaks to that opportunity, bringing both accuracy and fidelity to break the choke hold of this synthetic and wholly propagandistic narrative upon the Western mind. Revealingly to some, and one would be remiss for not commenting on it, many of the exponents heralding this new Nasr translation are themselves participants in that synthetic discourse of "Militant Islam" vs "moderate Islam" and "good Muslim" vs "bad Muslim". It would surely be interesting to see how Nasr et. al. respond to the support of their biggest champions for their new translation who have also encouraged the bombing of Muslim nations "United we Stand" with the standard propaganda narratives of empire. The support and funding of this translation are from imperial players, the least of whom is King Abdullah II of Jordan according to CNN report.
Beyond that metric of fidelity of translation however, understanding the deeper meanings of the Qur'anic text and of the religion of Islam often requires recourse to exegesis for context and explanation, and far deeper personal study and reflection for comprehension of a text that was revealed 1400 years ago in the language, and the time and space, of a backward Beduin people of a tribal society that no longer exists in the modern world. None of the Qur'anic allusions and metaphors, similes, rich and dense vocabulary in which the same word or phrase can express a multiplicity of meanings based on its context and style of usage, make sense in its original literal translated form in today's epoch. How are these to be reframed or translated for today's audience? These have to be interpreted --- and that means the authors' subconscious biases and prejudices, his and her knowledge and expertise in the Qur'anic base which include many disciplines, and his and her propensity and psychological and religious persuasion, come into play, even unwittingly.
These are burdens which every student of the Holy Qur'an has to face, not just the translators, whether working with its original Arabic, or in translation, and no single translation or compilation or exegesis, even when written by a bipartisan committee as Nasr's work proclaims to be, can be a substitute or compensate for the requirement of that due diligence and struggle for comprehension with a cleansed heart (without prejudice or presuppositions) as advocated in the Holy Qur'an itself. Sort of obvious to many Muslims, but better to state this for completeness because modern marketing can sell anything today, and can make the public mind on any matter any which way.
When a translation, or an approach, paves the way towards that aforementioned due diligence with fidelity and honesty of purpose, it is to be recommended. The limitations put on the study and translations just have to be understood so as neither to fool oneself nor deceive others. Just the good name of Dr. Seyyed Hossein Nasr invites that first look without even reading the book. His lofty goal and aspiration makes it even more inviting: "We hope this will be a small contribution to unity in the Islamic world." (Ibid.) The eating of the pudding of course will soon dispel any hasty illusions on its exaggerated baking. Make up your own mind by competently acquiring at least some understanding first on the monumental task which any translation of the Holy Qur'an presents, and what these good authors, notable Muslims, must have gone through even if they had the requisite skills for the monumental undertaking.
Here is a link to its purchase at Amazon for the sale price of $39.99 - $60 off the list price I am told.
The difficulties in parsing and understanding the Holy Qur'an, in any language, including its own native Arabic, is outlined in the case study on Hijacking the Holy Qur'an which forms chapter one of my book: Hijacking the Holy Qur'an and its religion Islam. This humble endeavor by an ordinary seeker of truth sketches out, with examples, why the Holy Qur'an is hard to parse, both syntactically as well as semantically, let alone comprehend in its full and exacting richness, even for native Arabic speakers, and why it is essential, nay necessary, not to interpret it by whim and fancy of one's own imagination, but to extract the exact meaning intended to be conveyed by its Author to mankind:

John over at CrunchGear got his paws on a Maxtor Shared Storage II, which is a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device with 1TB of hard drive space. Thanks to the Gigabit Ethernet interface and the 7200RPM, 16MB cache hard drive, transfers to and from the NAS are going to be quite speedy.
As you can see from the shot on John's trademark "review deck", the buttons are metallic and "RAZR-esque". He had no trouble plugging it in, turning it on, and setting it up with both Mac and Windows. Their install program required a reboot, but everything else was smooth sailing. But at $899 for 1TB, the price may outweigh the convenience.

Ten Craziest Moments in a Year of Running
Have you ever watched an episode of the Simpsons or Miami Vice where the writers ran out of ideas so in the opening scene, the gang reminisces to set up a "best of" clip show? Well that's sort of the position I'm in right now – my training plans for the Dublin marathon next Monday have been thrown a little bit off-course, owing to the man-flu/bubonic plague that has recently struck me down, leaving me with few other options.
It hasn't been quite a full year in running but it sure seems like it. So without further ado, here's a couple of the absolute craziest things I've done this year in the name of ReachOut, since I signed up at my local running club last November.
1) How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Start Running (Dec 18, 2011) One day last winter, I decided to embark on a mad adventure, having absolutely no idea what it was going to entail.
2) The Wake-Up Call – Part 1 (Jan 7, 2012) Not knowing anything about marathons, I decided the best way to get my head around it was to actually get out and do one! So I left a bottle of water at my gate, put on my tattered old runners and ran for 26 miles (about eight laps around my block.) Big mistake!
3) Bohermeen and Taming the Carb-Craving Monster (Mar 8, 2012) I couldn't wait to get started so I set off to Bohermeen, Co. Meath for my first, and to date my only, half-marathon.
4) Go West, Young Man! (Mar 13, 2012) My first ever real marathon had no crowds, no support, no medics and just 22 other competitors – talk about a baptism of fire!
5) A Madventure on a Mountain (Apr 20, 2012) My third day out was nearly six hours of pure hell at "Ireland's Toughest Marathon", the Madventure in Co. Clare. We had to summit a 532m mountain twice to make it to the finish-line.
6) There were a couple of occasions that never made it into the original blog, and for good reason. In particular, I'm thinking about the time I ran the Flora Women's mini-marathon in drag…
7) Three Marathons in Three Days (May 5-7, 2012) Exactly what it says on the tin. In Ireland, we had a long bank holiday weekend last May. Day 1 was the Ballyhoura Mountain Marathon, Day 2 was the Great Limerick Run and after an extremely long drive, Day 3 was the Belfast City Marathon.
8) Finally Breaking the 4-Hour Barrier (May 13, 2012) In Limerick I'd just missed out by a couple of minutes; running a marathon in under four hours is important monkey for a lot of runners to get off their back. It was especially unlikely in my case as it came just a week after the 3-in-3-days and due to the fact that I had a hangover and just two hours sleep from the night before…
9) Here's another one that I originally overlooked in the race-reports. Kildare's Le Cheile AC put on a Midnight Marathon in Leixlip last June. The key difference here, besides the fact that it was held at midnight, was that it was run on a looped track – which was about 400 metres long. If you're struggling with the maths, that equals just over 105 laps. (June 23, 2012)
10) In at the Deep End: Running My First Ultramarathon at the Connemara 100- Miler: (Aug 11/12, 2012) An ultramarathon can technically be any length over 26.2 miles, although the most common distances are 50k, 50 miles, 100km and 100 miles. I had never run anything over the length of a regular marathon before that crazy crazy day in Connemara.
The aforementioned flu has set me back somewhat. But I still have hopes of breaking my personal best from May's Kildare marathon when I go to Dublin next Monday. With a bit of luck, I might have another good yarn to add to the list. In the meantime, I guess all that's left to say is that I promise to actually write a properly new post soon and sorry for the clip show!

A horrifying craze which brought terror to the streets of Britain last Hallowe'en is back - after a woman was terrified by a KILLER CLOWN.
Teenagers wearing creeping clown masks have been spotted jumping in front of cars while wearing orange jumpsuits and scaring mums walking with their children.
Witnesses said they saw "teenagers in clown masks leaping out in front of cars and jumping in front of people".
The sighting was reported to police who confirmed officers went to the scene in Canterbury, Kent, at around 7.20pm on Tuesday over "road safety concerns".
A mother said she saw the men, one of which was wearing an orange jumpsuit, while she was with her seven-year-old child.
She said: "Be careful. Teenagers have clown masks and other masks on jumping in front of cars and jumping out in front of people."
Daisy-Louise Taylor, who reported the incident to police, warned: "Anyone who is walking or driving by sorting office and council be careful teenage have clown mask and other mask on jumping in front of cars and jumping out in front of people I have called the police."
Kent Police could not confirm if the teens were wearing clown costumes as they arrived after the group has fled the scene.
A spokesman for the force said: "Kent Police received a report of teenagers running in and out of moving traffic in Military Road, Canterbury at 7.17pm on Tuesday 17 October 2017.
Safety concerns
"Due to road safety concerns, officers attended the scene but the group had dispersed before officers' arrival. No further reports were received."
Other residents around the Kent town had also seen groups dressed as clown, some riding bikes, other knocking on front doors.
Tina Smith wrote: "One in an orange jumpsuit? They passed me with my kids and kept watching people walking past."
Lisa Braden said: "They were down Vauxhall Road (outskirts of Canterbury) yesterday my daughter come in and told us.
Tia Hernaman said: "They were down Sturry Road (outskirts of Canterbury) had been spotted."
Leanne White added: "They knocked on my door yesterday and just stood there."
Clowns on bikes
Mandy Baker added: "There were a couple on bikes in Thanington (2.5 miles from Canterbury) last week."
Canterbury City Council, near where the sighting took place, said it was warning its staff to be careful leaving their offices and was monitoring the situation with CCTV.
A city council spokesman said: "As far as we are aware, none of our staff have been targeted by people wearing clown masks. Our CCTV control room is monitoring the situation.
"We have asked members of staff to take extra care when leaving work and to report any incidents to the police. Members of the public should do the same."
In September two clowns were spotted in Chelmsford, Essex, and were linked to the release of Stephen King horror movie IT.
Last year at the height of the craze, more than 50 incidents involving clowns were reported to Kent Police in just three days between October to 7 and 10.
Thames Valley Police were called to 14 reports of people being intimidated or frightened by people dressed as clowns over the course of two days.
Gloucestershire Police received six reports in 48 hours, while in Leicestershire one woman was scared so badly she went into early labour.
In Plymouth man posted a video online showing him being confronted at night in the town by a clown armed with a hammer.
Multiple reports were received of people dressed as clowns, including one near a school bus. Another incident saw children chased through woodland.
A mother says a group of seven 'Killer Clowns' jumped out at her as she walked down the street.
The woman said she was confronted by a gang of youths, wearing clown masks and screaming, before jumping out at her.
During the incident on Tuesday evening in Canterbury, Kent, one of the 'Killer Clowns' was wearing an orange prison jumpsuit.
She said: "I was walking home and heard screaming then someone jumped out at me with a clown mask on and then walked on.
"I saw another one jump in front a of car and a man shouted from the sorting office. I'm not 100 per cent sure what he said.
"There was a group of them, about seven wearing clown masks and other ones, but mainly clown mask and then I rang police and was told they would go and have a look."

Over the next few days, Basket Bawful and Free Darko will be previewing each NBA Playoff series. Basket Bawful looks at the Eastern Conference today, continuing with the series between the Toronto Raptors and the Orlando Magic, which begins Sunday.
This is more like it! The Boston and Detroit series are pretty much in the bag already, unless an angry God decides to suck Kevin Garnett and the Pistons' starting five into an alternate dimension full of giant, angry wombats. But this matchup could actually be competitive.
The season series: The Magic won it 2-1.
Good news for the Raptors: The first game between these two teams was close all the way. The dinos won the second game in a blowout. They got blown out in the third game, but Chris Bosh didn't play because of an injury. All of which means that, on paper, the two teams were pretty evenly matched ... but with a slight edge to Toronto.
Bad news for the Raptors: The Magic went on a mini-run at the end of the season, winning three in a row and taking five of their last seven. More important, their guards performed well (particularly Maurice Evans), and the reserves even got some meaningful PT in the season finale (J.J. Redick and Marcin Gortat both had career-highs in points). And a little confidence going into the postseason is always a good thing.
Reality check: Toronto is heading into the playoffs with all the breakneck momentum of a fat person who has grown so morbidly obese their body has actually become fused to the furniture. I'm going to let you think about that one for a minute. Disgusted? Good. Now let's move on.
The Raps finished the season by losing two of their last three games — including a huge setback to Detroit's bench while they were fighting for playoff position and the Pistons were just coasting along — and the one win was against the
Washington Generals Miami Heat. Overall, Toronto has gone 9-17 over their last 26 games, which doesn't just seem bad. It is bad.
Magic player(s) to watch: Dwight Howard, for one. First of all: Dunk city, baby! Second, and more important: Defense. We know Superman is going to score and rebound, but he's also got to defend the paint and guard Chris Bosh on the perimeter. That won't be easy. Also, Orlando's guards — Jameer Nelson and Maurice Evans — probably need to start producing at some point. This is as good a time as any.
Raptors player(s) to keep an eye on: Chris Bosh proved in February that he can use and abuse Dwight Howard...under the right circumstances. And did you know that Rasho Nesterovic can opt out of his contract this summer? Well, he can. Which, in effect, makes this season a contract year for him. And, wouldn't you know it, he's been on fire lately! Never underestimate the heart of somebody who's playing for a contract. Also, T.J. Ford could ruin everything if he tries to go all "2005-06 Kobe" (without the talent) on the Magic.
Key(s) to the series: The guard play. Now that Nesterovic is on a roll and Jamario Moon has arrived, the opposing frontcourts should pretty much cancel each other out (with a slight edge going to Orlando). This means that T.J. Ford and his backup (who really should be starting) Jose Calderon need to get their boys easy shots while scoring efficiently themselves. Shouldn't be a problem for Jose — who has 66 assists and only 1 turnover in April! — but watching T.J. play is always an adventure. And not one of those fun jungle adventures where you find a golden skull and save the girl of your dreams from a giant gorilla while narrowly escaping a bunch of poison-dart-shooting natives.
Prediction: I'm thinking Orlando wins this one 4-1. The Raptors are good at home (25-16), but the Magic are even better than that on the road (27-14). However, if the irrational enthusiasm of the Toronto fanbase has any effect whatsoever, this series could go the full seven. But I doubt it.

Q: Can fish get sunburned?
Dustin – Jacksonville, FL
At some point in everyone's childhood, a kindhearted teacher, seeking to encourage unrestrained curiosity, makes this simple pronouncement: "there's no such thing as a silly question." As adults, we know that silly questions do, in fact, exist. As a result, we tend to stop asking questions like "can fish get sunburned?" It's just too silly to even consider. Sunburned fish? Ha! Hilarious! Except for one small detail: fish can get sunburned. The moral of the story? Your teacher was right. Keep on asking – and we'll keep right on answering.
As it turns out, Koi fish in backyard ponds and water gardens are particularly susceptible to sunburn. Combine a shallow body of water, limited shade, and long hours of hot, summer sun, and Koi fish suffer from the aquatic equivalent of sunburn.
Like all other fish, Koi fish rely on a natural protective layer – otherwise known as a "slime coat" – that fends off everything from disease to injury. When Koi fish are exposed to too much direct sunlight, their slime coats are compromised, and sickness and lethargy follow quickly. Left unresolved, long-term exposure to sunlight will actually cause a Koi's untimely demise. Fortunately, it's a simple problem to fix – and we have the right supplies to do it.
To prevent aquatic "sunburn," we strongly recommend the use of our Koi Shelter, which allows fish to take refuge from the sun before it causes damage. Like the Koi Shelter, our Aquatic Plants also provide excellent natural protection – along with the added benefit of aesthetic beauty. In addition to those solutions, creative pondkeepers also use rocks to create protective underwater caves, where fish can take a break from the sun's rays.
Once you've taken care to provide adequate shelter for your Koi, the next critical step is to help your fish to restore its slime coat. For a simple solution, we recommend adding an appropriate quantity of salt to the pond. In cases where fish seem particularly lethargic, we strongly encourage the use of Fish Stress Reducer PLUS to resolve the problem quickly – and bring your Koi back to health in short order.
Keep up the questions. We take them all very seriously.

Hi, my name is Lea Ann and I'm a Java NOOB on a 24 hour step program with Sam and taking a course with Oracle; which by the way is dead boring and not worth the money I paid so far. So with the book and the course and the tutorials on YouTube, I'm learning.
I got into Java because...well...I'm a geek. I love my computer. I could sit here all day and just figure out the stuff that it can do for me to entertain me and be productive for me. So....I've had a career for 12 years and doing a total switch and turning my hobby into a job. Or at least I hope I can get a job.
So....I'm going to have a shipload of questions.
See you around.

Ride Home 10/25: Chocolate Milquetoast
The reopening of the south entrance to the Dupont Metro has caused a lot more foot traffic on 19th. It's still a desirable route, but you have to pay a little more attention for distracted pedestrians. Non-distracted ones too. It's sort of incumbent on the bicyclist to not hit people. Them's the breaks, so use them brakes.
It makes me really nervous to watch a bicyclist pass a driver on the right, between the car and the curb. That's just right hook city and it scares me to the point of almost wanting to scream "NOOOOOOOO!" and maybe dramatically ride towards them in slow motion. I don't think it's a good idea to pass a driver on the side where he's trying to turn. Just a suggestion.
Some things from the Pennsylvania Avenue cycle track:
This is a fixie. It has a chainguard. It has one yellow tire and one red tire. It cost $94 and is from buy.com. I can't speak to the quality of the bike, but it seemed to work fine and it's hard to argue with $94. I know all of this because I heard the rider talk to this guy:
The pedicab driver, who asked where he got the tires. Clearly yellow tires would just complete the pedicab ensemble.
Would you ever rent a tandem? This was a Bike and Roll tandem. I don't think I would ever rent a tandem. Not even by myself. I hope they watched out for this:
It's not a great idea to use a bike lane as construction equipment parking. I guess they were doing roadwork this morning, but come on. This isn't cool. Someone could get hurt.
At the base of Capitol Hill, I ran into Dave and Kid O and their trip home. Craziness! We rode on down the wrong way of Pennsylvania Avenue/Parking Lot, in the opposite direction of the oncoming traffic, but through the empty parking spots to the left of the roadway. Dave suggested to Kid O that what we doing was wrong, but if we did it slowly, it would be ok. Kid O met him with the rejoinder "or if we do it fast." Kid O has unlocked the fundamental truth of city biking- you can pretty much get away with anything provided you do it slow enough or fast enough.
Another successful hill climb and I fell into line behind some other bike commuters and zoned out for the rest of the trip home. An early day tomorrow for me, but if you're around in the morning, I encourage you to check out the "oh no u don't" #stoputurnsonpenn event. Please tweet about it. I will follow wistfully.
5 comments:
I have definitely seen that fixie before and it was recent.ReplyDelete
When I worked for Bike and Roll, my coworkers and I would ride the tandem around inside the abandoned mall behind the Old Post Office...they're pretty fun. Also useful for rescue missions, when you need two people to go save a helpless tourist with a flat or busted bike...
Ha! Those crazy city workers, what'll they think of next? Maybe string some piano wire across the Penn Ave bike lanes! That'd be a good one!ReplyDelete
I rented a road tandem for my wife and is number if years ago to ride in a daylong ramble in central California. It solves this problem: I like you, I like biking with you, you ride well, but I am 1/3rd faster than you, and if I have to ride your speed for forty miles, I will want to kill myself.ReplyDelete
It worked out so well that I got one years later, now on semi-permanent loan to my bro and his diminutive wife. I live in an old rowhouse, they live in an old farmhouse, it's a space issue.

2 arrested after posing for picture in front of deputy helicopter
Volusia County deputies charge 2 with disorderly intoxication
DeLAND, Fla. – Two men who told authorities they broke through the barriers and ran to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office helicopter to take a picture were arrested and charged with resisting arrest and disorderly intoxication.
According to the deputy report, deputies were landing the helicopter in response to a trauma alert call at JR's Country Western Club in DeLand just after 1 a.m. Sunday when Jason Mayid, 25, and Justin Sanford, 24, ran through the blocked off parking lot.
Mayid and Sanford continued to take photographs with their cellphones despite deputy orders to leave and were forced to be physically escorted away from Air One, according to deputies.
According to the report, Mayid and Sanford told deputies they had come from JR's after drinking "a few drinks," saw the helicopter land and "thought it would be an awesome picture."
Mayid and Sanford were taken to the Volusia County Jail.

Seek help!!!! There may be tenderness, or soreness, for the first week or two, but there should not be toe-curling pain that lasts beyond the first few seconds while the baby latches. If you are having pain during a whole feed, you need help!
The easiest way to fix a poor latch is to slide the baby's body AWAY from the breast. This helps their head fall back a bit, so that their chin is pressed into the breast and their nose is not. This "asymmetrical latch" puts your nipple further back in their mouth, so that your nipple is between the tongue and the soft palate. If your nipple is between their tongue and hard palate, that's when you're going to get pain and damage.
My second wasn't the best latcher, and rather than take him off each time and re-latch him (which I probably should have done), I would adjust his position once he was on. It worked, but I still had very sore nipples for the first while. I used lanolin cream with my first, but with my second, I only used breast milk on them, and I found it worked REALLY well. Plus, it was free! :)
Just to clarify, by saying move the baby away from the breast what she means is move the baby round so his feet are futher under your arm. Keep him tucked in sight at all times but rather than aiming you nipple at his mouth, aim it at his nose. That way he will have to strech his neck and put his head right back to get to it, which gives him the best possition for feeding.
Thank you for that clarification, Gemma! Wouldn't want that to be misinterpreted...ouch! :)

The ship has already left windy and rainy Keelung and we just arrived at the second stop of the Ocean Defenders East Asia tour, Su-ao in eastern Taiwan. Suao is the second largest tuna fishery port in Taiwan.At 7am the following day, we went to the fishing market of Nanfangao. Unfortunately (or luckily), the vessels did not go out because of bad weather. We walked along the cold wet street on the side of the port, hundreds of small longliners are docked here. You can see that most of the fishermen are not Taiwanese; they come from Indonesia, Philippines… usually only the captain is Taiwanese.Most fishermen in Nanfangao are over 60 years old. Young people just don't want to work in this industry. Some old fishermen worry that the industry will die in 10 years, when all the old captains have retired.We went to the fishing market, but couldn't find any tuna. Two bunches of Mackerel were lying on the ground, which were caught by purse seiners. The workers were putting the fish into foam boxes. Nanfangao supplies 95% of mackerel in Taiwan.The small scale longliners at Nanfangao are mainly working on the local coastal fishery. The catch is usually fresh yellowfin tuna, sometimes bigeye tuna but there is a short period targeting bluefins in the early summer.We walked around the harbour, looking for any tuna. Suddenly, my colleague was pointing at a small truck, and we found one tuna there. The tuna was off-loaded in the middle of the fishing market. It was a yellowfin. A few people stood around this lonely fish looking at its colour, size, freshness…Suddenly, the tuna moved! I can see the muscle contraction on its stomach. Although I don't believe that it was still alive, but the move reminded me it used to be a strong yellowy silver rocket swimming in the sea.At 9:00am the auction bell rang. The staff from the fishing association started the auction. The buyers cried out the price in Taiwanese dialect and the auction ended in just 2 minutes. I asked the staff of the buyer and she said the tuna was sold at TWD 390 per kg. The tuna was 69kg, so the total price of the whole tuna was around TWD 27000 (US$ 800).Usually, the price of yellowfin is around TWD 280-300 per kg. This tuna was sold at a higher price than normal, since this is the only catch for the day. Sometimes the decline in total catch will drive up the price of the fish.We left the market as the auction ended. But many questions were left inside my mind after the trip. How many people are making their living off the tuna? What would they do if this was the last tuna for the second largest tuna fishing port in Taiwan?

Missing man: What happened to Owen?
Earlier this month, members of a local church held a "service of remembrance" for a member of the congregation. Their friend, however, may not be dead.
In the days leading up to Owen Young's disappearance, there were no signs that anything was wrong– at least, no signs he allowed those closest to him to see. The facts are sketchy.
The 60-year-old Charlottesville man was last seen on January 2; the next week, his car was found in a parking lot at Dulles airport in Northern Virginia. There was no evidence of foul play.
When asked last week if there are any new leads in Young's disappearance, Albemarle County Detective Sergeant James Bond replied, "I really wish I could say yes." Instead, investigators have found no trace of the missing manat least, under the name Owen C. Young. "We're at a standstill," says Bond.
Charlottesville writer Amy Lemley describes Young as "a really active, plugged-in, networky kind of person." The two knew each other through the Charlottesville chapter of Company of Friends, which hosts monthly networking events for local professionals.
Young, who was a "corporate coach"– someone who works with businesses to increase profits, expand client base, etc.– was also active in the community. He was on the United Way board of directors, coached volleyball, and volunteered with the Rivanna Trails Foundation. By all accounts, he was charismatic– the kind of person who draws others to him easily.
It's that very quality, however, that set Jonathan Coleman, author of Exit the Rainmaker, speculating on possible causes for Young's disappearance. Rainmaker is Coleman's best-selling account of another outwardly successful man, Jay Carsey, who in 1982 abandoned his life as a Maryland college president, leaving everyone who had known him to solve a very painful puzzle.
"One thing that is a shared trait among people who voluntarily disappear," Coleman says, is that "they're very good at dissembling. It partly comes from an inability to confront weakness."
According to Sergeant Bond, Young "was having some financial difficulties." A search of Albemarle County General District Court records reveals that First Family of New York Federal Credit Union in New York has filed suit against Young to collect a $5,800 Visa bill. There may be other creditors as well.
Coleman remarks that for someone like Young, whose livelihood depended on "helping others project a certain image," financial problems "might be greatly magnified, to [the point that] he wouldn't be able to cope."
On the afternoon of Saturday, June 14, a group of Young's friends gathered at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Church for a "service of remembrance and appreciation."
Young was active at the church, which he joined in the fall of 2001. By the time he disappeared 18 months later, he was the church's treasurer, served on the board, and was active in fundraising. He also made a number of friends there, chiefly through the "covenant group" he joined.
"If he was in trouble, none of us knew it," pastor David Takahashi Morris said at the service. "The Owen we remember is the Owen who goes forward with us from now on."
Speakers described a man who wanted to make a difference, and proved it by tireless involvement in his church and community. They also described a man who had left his friends worried about his well-being and struggling to come to peace with his absence.
A member of Young's covenant group read a poem by Mark DeWolfe entitled "A Person is a Puzzle," which the group had read the night they wrestled with Young's disappearance. That bewilderment– the fact that we can never really know another person– recurred as friends walked to the front of the sanctuary, lit a votive candle, and described the Owen Young they had known.
One woman recalled how she used to tease him because he always surrounded himself with so much space at church services. "Your bubble's too big," she would say, intentionally sitting down right next to him.
"The view's really good from the balcony," he would whisper in reply, feigning exasperation.
One of the final speakers had an especially puzzling memory; she began by saying she was probably one of the last church members to see him. On the evening of December 30, after a board meeting, they'd gone together to Court Square Tavern– where, she recalled, they'd had "a riotous good time"; he was "a very merry companion." Yet three days later, he was gone.
Young's son and daughter, whom Bond described as "distraught," told him that their father had disappeared once before "back in the sixties, when he was a young man." For Coleman, that was an especially intriguing detail. His subject, Carsey, flirted seriously with running away right before his marriage, but, in the end, chose not to, at that time.
Where is Owen Young? Perhaps the real question is, Who is Owen Young? The case will remain open, Bond says, until Young's whereabouts can be determined.

Busy women can stay fit, too
(NewsUSA) - In today's busy, high-tech era, women are carrying more and more responsibility. Society expects them to earn a living; climb the corporate ladder; manage a home; and provide for the family by cooking, cleaning, doing laundry and helping care for them. In addition, these women -- who are spread too thinly and on-call 24/7 -- are expected to look good and feel good.
Many women say to themselves, "I used to be very active and worked out every day. These days, I find it hard to fit exercise and diet into my day." They often ask, "What can I do, and where can I start?"
It's a simple question that typically gets a not-so-simple answer. In order to see that people get and stay healthy, here are some quick tips for those busy women and even men.
* Get on a scale, take a photo, and set a goal. You must start somewhere. Find out where you are today. Then, set a small, short-term, obtainable goal. Write it down next to your photo.
* MyFitnessPal.com. It features a calorie counter, food journal and a social network community, all free online or by app.
* Get up and go workout. You schedule dental checkups, haircuts, salon sessions and soccer practices -- why not schedule your fitness? Schedule a 30-minute workout four to six times per week. If you don't, it won't happen. If you can't spare 30 minutes, squeeze in a vigorous 10 minutes that day.
* Photo food journal. Studies show that photographing and journaling your meal is six times more effective for curbing overeating.
* Cut sugar and starches. Avoid white-colored food except cauliflower and meats.
* Join a group exercise program. Yoga, spin and CrossFit, among others, are all great ways to meet new friends and enjoy the familiarity and accountability of group exercise.

Self-Framing for all doors: 1/2" - 13/4" single flap version and 13/4" to 21/4" double flap version. (Adjusting the single flap to less than 13/8" requires cutting the trim frame with a jig saw).

Choosing the correct size door for your pet is not difficult.
Remember you can always get a door which is a little bit larger, but do not get
a door which is too small. Here are some guide lines and suggestions to help.
If you have more than one pet, you will need to focus on the larger dog.
Door Sizes
and Pet Weight:
If your cat is
smaller than about 15 lbs or your dog smaller than about 8 lbs, a flap size of around
5" x 7".
If your dog is
between 8 lbs and 35 lbs consider a flap size around 8" x 11".
If your dog is
between 35 lbs and 80 lbs consider a flap size around 10" x 15".
If your dog is
over 80 lbs consider a flap size of 15" x 20".
