This morning I yelled at my 5 year old for not listening and Not getting her socks and shoes on.
It was not my best moment.
I had asked her about five times.
She had them in her hand and I had likely gotten distracted.
I was in a hurry.
I wanted to get things done.
Why do I do this? Why do I let chronos time dictate?
Why can't I be more gentle?
Why can't I be like the moms who always speak gently, with full patience?
Please I am hoping that even perfect moms lose it every now and then....
I apologized. I asked her to forgive me - that I was sorry I yelled and I needed to work on my patience and I asked her to please work on her listening.
I'm not sure if its helpful, but I said, "Gracie, when your teachers ask you to do something, do you do it?" Yes
So, let's do that with Mommy and Daddy too.
This morning I got the karios time right- the perfect and wonderful snuggling the whispers of I love you!
But then the rush and rush and rush, and then the thinking
- if I had gotten up earlier, if I had packed lunches last night, If I had done... all these other wonderful organized things.
It has felt like a more stressful week than usual.
I've dealt with some things and some folks that has required a little extra grace.
The week feels pretty stacked...
But I know that God is breathing in me, that God is creating in and out of the chaos, I know that all will be well.
I know that it may not be perfect.
But in the midst of it all- may God help me remember and know that
what is more important than being on time,
more important than the house looking nice,
more important than anything anything in the world
- is that I am gentle with my children's souls.
I don't want them to remember me and be afraid.
I don't want them to stop listening because they tune out of someone sounding constantly demanding- pick up your toys, do this, don't do that, stop that....
I really love bathtime and bedtime-- for some reason I let go of rushing then- not always but way better.
I just BE with them.
I did have hopes of getting things done when they got to bed... but somehow my agenda didn't get in the way.
During bathtime we sang everything- like a musical.
I made games of-- who can wash their tummies, their arms, their feet, legs, etc.
And they got it done- and we had fun.
I pray that I can be more focused on the joy of being with them,
the joy of being in the moment,
I pray that I may delight in them.
I pray that I will not seek to make them regimented, soldier like.
I pray that they will be joyful, silly, kind, peace pulsating, children of God's kingdom.
I pray that I may be a beacon of light - that is calm, warm, peaceful, loving, affirming, encouraging.
May I be filled with the fruits of the spirit,
Love, joy, peace, patience kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control!
May I embody these fruits, so that my children may know my love and know your love God.
God, make me the kind of Mom you call me to be,

Things You'll Need
PVC shower pan liner
Backerboard and screws
Cement and trowel
Adjustable drain assembly
Tile thinset
2 60-pound Bags concrete
Tile- floor and wall
Silicone adhesive caulk
Take your time and do it right. Measure twice and cut once.
Remodeling in the bathroom always tends to be a challenge as it is a room we need to use several times a day and it is usually a big inconvenience to have the bathroom torn apart. However, it becomes a necessity and must be faced. Building a shower enclosure is a way to free up some space in a bathroom where there was a bathtub. Building a shower enclosure is not impossible as long as you can follow instructions and are somewhat handy with woodworking.
Step 1
Measure out the floor space of how big of a shower you would like to have. It is nice to have at least two walls to work against, but not necessary. Screw 2x4s laying flat into the floor where your wall or walls will be. Make sure you do not position the plumbing wall over a support beam or you will have trouble drilling holes for the pipes later. Screw studs into place framing out the wall from floor to ceiling.
Step 2
In the front threshold of the shower, lay three 2x4s flat on top of each other and screw down. Around the base of the shower area box in the other three walls between the studs with lumber so you have an enclosure ready for waterproofing.
Step 3
Lay down the PVC liner or CPE liner--whatever you choose, making sure you have enough to come up at least six inches on each side. Staple the backside to the wall just along the upper edge. Follow the directions on the liner packaging for detailed instructions.
Step 4
Mark the drain assembly bolts and cut small openings to allow them to pass through the membrane. Screw the top of the drain assembly back on and cut the membrane drain opening, making sure to caulk with the silicone around the top of the bottom drain assembly. Continue folding and securing the membrane around the other walls, being very careful not to puncture it.
Step 5
Place pea sized gravel around the drain assembly to keep the weep holes open and then lay the concrete. You will need about 1/4 inch of slope for every foot of space toward the drain and the concrete should be at least 3/4 inch thick for strength. Take the time to make sure every side is sloped toward the drain without getting it into the threads or weep holes. Smooth as much as possible. Cover the top of the drain with duct tape to keep debris from dropping into the drain. Allow to dry for at least 24 hours.
Step 6
Apply backer board to the walls, making sure not to puncture the membrane in the watertight area and leaving at least an inch of space up from the floor. Apply at least 72 inches high or to the ceiling. Drill holes where your plumbing pipes will come into the area. Do the necessary plumbing.
Step 7
Starting with the floor, apply thinset and lay the tile. Make sure you have the plumbing pipes coming into the shower area before you tile. Follow detailed instructions for laying tile.

Looking back at the year to date there are two headlines which could be repeated over and over. George Bush hits a new low in the polls and Hillary Clinton crosses the line (again). The year has seen a steady stream of Democrats dropping their support for Clinton. For some, such as myself, she became intolerable when she first started attacking Obama using Rove-style arguments distorting Obama's positions and statements early in the year. Others looked the other way at first, but became repulsed by other claims from Clinton, such as her attempts to change the rules for winning the nomination, her belief that only her supporters count, her hypocrisy on Michigan and Florida, and her ridiculous claims of leading in the popular vote. For some the last straw came yesterday when she brought up the assassination of Robert Kennedy (video above). Even her apology made matters worse as she apologized to the Kennedy family but not to Obama or to all the Democrats who are so shocked by her behavior.
This statement is a problem for Clinton on so many levels. Primarily it is found offensive on a visceral level. Many interpretations have been made. At best she shows again that she is in her own world where all that matters is giving her the presidency which she thinks she deserves. At worst she is trying to create further fears about the consequences of nominating Obama, with some even suggesting she is trying to give a hint to her more deranged supporters.
There is no way to know for sure what was going on in Hillary's mind. The problem is that she said this regardless of her motivations. If she wasn't so lost in her own world she would have realized the reaction that talk of assassination would create, especially in a the case of the person who very likely will become our first black president after so many years of racial hatred and violence have disgraced this country.
I've received a number of comments here regarding the potential assassination of Obama ever since he became a credible candidate but I have not put these through. Discussion of the assassination of Obama, along with continued claims that he is a Muslim, paranoid conspiracy theories from supporters of Ron Paul (along with a number of racist and anti-semitic comments), and even a number of off the wall comments attacking Hillary Clinton intentionally never made it out of moderation for reasons which most rational people will understand.
If Clinton wouldn't otherwise understand how a comment on assassination of Obama would be received, she should have considered the response to Mike Huckabee's poor joke on the matter last week. Her claims that she brought this up now as she was thinking of the Kennedys in light of Ted Kennedy's medical problems does not hold up as she made a similar reference in the past. Besides, if one is really thinking of the tragedy the Kennedy family is facing with the diagnosis of cancer in Ted Kennedy, is this really the time to bring up the assassination of his brother? Maybe she will next try to cheer them up by reciting the entire list of tragedies faced by the Kennedy family.
Clinton's comment doesn't even make any sense historically or politically. She claims people have been trying to push her out of the race since Iowa, but there is no truth to this. Sure many of us have predicted that Obama would win, but that is hardly the same as pushing someone out of the race. Obama certainly has not been trying to push her from the race. She ignores the fact that the nature of conventions have changed from the days in which they were expected to be a battle for the nomination. In recent years the primaries, not conventions, have determined the nominee. Instead the conventions are being used as a means to promote the candidate who has already won, and the party which does not do this is at a disadvantage, especially now that the conventions are being held even closer to election day than in the past. Sure, some contenders have not left the race until long after they should have, but the consequence has typically been a loss for their party in November.
If Clinton wanted to remain in the race until the final primaries were completed few would blame her. The outrage against Clinton is not that she remains in the race through all the primaries, but it is a response to the dishonest manner in which she is campaigning, along with her threats to remain in the race until the convention despite an insurmountable lead by Obama. Her attempts to change the rules, whether by falsely claiming a majority in the popular vote or by using invalid primaries in Michigan and Florida only increases the desire by most Democrats to see her put an end to this nonsense.
Clinton's ultimate argument here makes no sense even looking at the possibility of Obama having to leave the race, regardless of the reason. If for some reason Barack Obama could not be the nominee it would not matter if Clinton had dropped out of the race. Her delegation would be the largest, and undoubtedly some Obama supporters would wind up backing her. The convention would most likely give her the nomination as the only remaining candidate who has an organization in place and has been actively campaigning. The only way that would not occur would be if Clinton repulsed so many delegates that they would rather take a risk on someone else. While unlikely, this could possibly happen if Clinton continues campaigning as she has been doing recently. If she really thinks there is a possibility that Obama will not receive the nomination, her best course would still be to suspend her campaign, at least after the last primary, so that she stops losing even more support.

Gustav Klimt's Death and Life painting is based loosely on the dance of death depicted in medieval and renaissance times as death coming to visit people in all ranks and positions in society. Usually death holds an hourglass or a scythe implying that everything has a time to pass and be reaped off the earth. Unusually, Gustav Klimt's Death and Life depicts death holding a club which looks much more dangerous, animalistic and menacing.
The skull of death is looking towards life eagerly, inching its neck out and head forward like a predator inspecting its prey. Life is depicted in an arrested cornucopic architecture of human bodies, like a column of flesh showing old and young, male and female alike. There is a sense of generation after generation of human beings who have been or will be taken by death.

Yesterday's attacks on Sony's network may have caused a bit of a scare amongst Sony users, however John Smedley, president of Sony Online Entertainment, insists the information that was hacked was not from Sony.
"We've said publicly when we were compromised before that the information is out there and could have been used. That was obviously the first thing we looked at," Smedley said.
Apparently only dormant accounts were attacked which means those that had not changed their password since the major attack on PSN this past April. "I'm not going to say it's impossible [the info came from Sony]," he continued, "We just think that's not the most likely case."
Smedley insists all those who have yet to change their passwords, do so immediately in order to lessen the risk should another attack happen.

H. pylori screening plea
By Emma Wilkinson
Screening everyone in their 40s for Helicobacter pylori would cut healthcare costs across the board, even in those testing negative for the bacterium, a UK study shows.
The researchers said their study showed it would be feasible to run a serology screening programme of 40- to 50-year-olds in general practice.
The study, conducted in 1,350 patients in West Yorkshire, found screening reduced the chance of incurring further dyspepsia-related healthcare costs by 19% overall – with an average saving of £11 per patient.
Patients told of a negative result were significantly less likely to consult for dyspepsia in the next two years than those kept in the dark.
The researchers calculated that for every nine people being told of a negative test, one would be prevented from seeking healthcare for dyspepsia in the future.
Study leader Dr Alex Ford, a clinical researcher at Leeds General Infirmary, said: 'We published a paper in 2005 looking at people who tested positive that showed you saved money over 10 years with population screening.
'But this is interesting because it's looking at the 73% who will test negative.'
The biggest reduction in GP time, prescriptions and endo-scopy for dyspepsia occurred in those who – although asymptomatic at the time of testing – had a history of dyspepsia. The researchers recommend serology screening everyone between 40 and 50 instead of the current 'test and treat' approach.
Co-author Professor Paul Moayeddi, head of gastroenterology at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, praised UK GPs for doing more 'test and treat' than in most countries, but added: 'I'd guess 25% of GP test and treat regularly while the rest do it intermittently or not at all.'
Dr Richard Stevens, a GP in Oxford and chair of the Primary Care Society for Gastroenterology, said a screening programme would have to be planned carefully due to ethnic and social differences in infection rates.
'I could see it working in places where the H. pylori burden is high but I'm slightly sceptical about the need for it now. There are other screening programmes I'd like to see first, for example bowel screening.'
The study was published in November's Alimentary Pharmacology and Therapeutics.

or leave me yours in the bottom of the page
I ordered the chakra balancing recording and I have to say it is AMAZING! I just got it yesterday and I listened to it twice already. It is soo incredibly relaxing and soothing and healing. I was in such a disharmonious state when I listened to it but her voice and the sounds were soo relaxing and filled with such good energy that I actually fell asleep both times at the end! I NEVER fall alseep to meditations or with sound healings. So if you need something to calm and relax and soothe you I HIGHLY recommend this recording!
said for Sianna
I am Sianna Lyons, Intuitive, Sound Healer, Reiki Master
As a child in a small town in Massachusetts, I was always drawn to metaphysics and the hidden realms for as long as I can remember. As well, I began singing as soon as I could speak and used music to soothe myself from the youngest of ages.
When I had my first psychic reading in my 20s, I was given two pieces of information that would change my life: one, that I had an innate ability to heal with my hands. That confirmed for me that what I'd been experiencing prior to that, a warm energy emanating form the palms of my hands - was not my imagination.
The other piece was that my soul's journey on Earth began in the ancient civilization of Atlantis, where I spent thousands of lifetimes in the temple societies of that time; that sound was then and always has been my "soul's vehicle"; that I was a healer and advisor in the crystal chambers.
I knew nothing consciously about Atlantis at the time, yet the reading rang true for me on the deepest level, that place beyond logic.
Since that reading, in addition to pursuing singing, songwriting, and composing, I've studied and experimented with the more subtle, esoteric qualities of sound...everything from basic cymatics to modalities including tuning fork energy field balancing, singing bowls, Mongolian overtone chanting, and Rife frequencies. I've also extensively studied and practiced numerology and crystal healing; my certifications include: Reiki Master and teacher, Animal Reiki Healer, Naturopath, and Hypnotherapist.
As Einstein said, "Everything in life is vibration." We are finally re-awakening to the ancient knowledge that sound always affects matter and when used with intention, knowledge, and skill, can be used as a catalyst for dramatic transformation and deep healing.
I've been privately practicing for about 20 years and over time I've combined my skills and knowledge into my own unique healing style that I call Lyons Sound Health, offering highly personalized sound healing for the full range of emotional, psychological, and spiritual issues that manifest into physical illness over time.
My visits with Sianna have always provided me with relief from sickness, everything from headaches to chronic joint pain. I highly recommend her. - Margaret R.
The thing I love most about my sessions with Sianna is that her voice transports me to another place, almost like sleeping but I'm still aware, like being carried by the sound. Afterwards, I feel calmer and more energized at the same time. - Alina G.
As someone who was skeptical about sound healing, I can attest to the fact that you don't have to believe in it for it to be effective. Sianna's tuning fork and vocal toning work absolutely worked to dissolve my crippling anxiety. - Bill M.
I strongly recommend a visit with Sianna. Her methods quickly alleviated eye strain/pain on two occasions and a problem with chronic vertigo on several visits over a number of weeks. - Federico G.
A combination of Reiki and Sianna's special sounds worked miracles on my OCD, including healing acne that I had battled for years. - Jesse D.
When Sianna worked on me, I was in long sleeves and pants so she couldn't see the bruises on my left arm where I had a bad fall the day before. She went straight to that area with her forks and also to a spot on my face where I lost feeling years ago during a botched surgery. The bruises were at least 50% better after the session and healed quickly thereafter and I had pain relief in my meningeal nerve for a full 48 hours afterwards. - Gael P.
If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to contact me.
I will use my voice, tuning forks, and crystal bowls to work on any imbalances or, if you have no issues, just deliver a private sound bath; think of it like a massage for your aura.
I will use my voice, tuning forks, and crystal bowls to work on any imbalances If you have no imbalances, I'll give you a private sound bath, like a sonic massage.

Of course, an expectant mother tries to lead a healthy lifestyle, keep to a balanced diet, get all the necessary vitamins and trace elements. Everybody knows that pregnant women need positive emotions, care, fresh air, long walks, understanding and support of their loved ones, and so on. But family and friends actively begin to bombard a mother-to-be with pregnancy dos and don'ts: "this is not allowed", "don't eat that". How to tell whether their advice is helpful or not?
The "dos" of pregnancy
- Fresh pure water should become the most important drink for a pregnant woman. You can also drink fresh juices, fruit drinks, yogurt.
- Some mothers-to-be crave for a beer. You can have one, but try to choose non-alcoholic products.
- In the last trimester, you can indulge in a glass of fine red wine (but no champagne). Remember, every person is an individual, so the proper dose can vary. There is an opinion that if a future mom feels a bit dizzy because of alcohol, her baby is unconscious.
- You can cut your hair short: you won't do your baby any harm with a haircut, and your hair won't become less beautiful because of it.
- Among all medicines, only No-spa, Tylenol (Acetaminophen), and Paracetamol are completely safe if you follow the prescribed dosage.
- You can sleep on your back if it feels comfortable.
- The best pregnancy exercises are swimming and aqua aerobics.
- You can use cosmetics. But the products shouldn't contain Vitamin A (it's harmful in high doses), Hydrocortisone (it's a steroid which in everyday use is not safe for the baby), Benzoyl Peroxide. And choose body lotions specifically made for pregnant women. They are completely safe, and their ingredients reduce the possibility of stretch marks and breast deformation to a minimum.
- Have sex if your pregnancy is taking a normal course. But it won't be unwise to ask your doctor about it.
The "don'ts" of pregnancy
- Alcohol, smoking, and drugs are a taboo! A safe dose of these poisons doesn't exist. So, abstain from bad habits. And also avoid passive smoking.
- Caffeine during pregnancy can be a reason for a miscarriage or a baby being born underweight. And green tea interferes with the absorption of folic acid, necessary for the normal fetal development, into your body. So, you'd better abstain from these drinks. But if you can't do completely without them – a small cup from time to time won't kill you.
- It's not recommended to consume such products as raw meat, unpasteurized milk, soft cheeses, sushi, fast food. Try not to eat spicy, salty, and fatty food.
- Sodas can cause active processes of fermentation in the gut which provoke the contractions of the uterus.
- Don't wear synthetic underwear, especially string panties. Make your choice in favor of natural fabrics and maternity bras.
- It's not advised to dye your hair during pregnancy. Your hormonal background has changed and that puts a strain on your skin and hair, and chemical agents can make the situation much worse. But if you've decided to dye your hair anyway, buy a gentle hair dye.
- Don't clean a cat litter box during pregnancy. You can catch toxoplasmosis, the unwanted outcome being arrested fetal development, brain and eye damage to the fetus.
- You shouldn't overheat. That's why you should abstain from hot baths and sauna.
- Decorating while pregnant is not so safe. Paints and toxins will completely dissipate only in a year.
- Don't use insect sprays. The toxins can get into your blood and reach the baby.
- The following drugs are strictly forbidden: Aminopterin, Methyltestosterone, Progestins, Quinine, Thalidomide, Trimethadione, Retinoids.
- Vaccination during pregnancy is not advised.
- Don't wear high heels. First of all, it's dangerous for you: there always is a possibility of an injury. Secondly, during pregnancy, your center of gravity is shifting, and therefore your spine is overstrained. And high heels make it worse. That's why during the second half of the term the risk of various neuralgias and sciatica increases. As a future mother, you definitely don't need such complications.
- Don't raise your arms when the baby has taken the right position (in later terms).
- You shouldn't lie on your belly or sit cross-legged.
- Some people say that you shouldn't show your newborn baby to anyone until they are 40 days old. In fact, doctors recommend that you don't invite guests for about a month after childbirth. Your home has its own atmosphere and microflora, and your visitors have theirs. Your baby should develop an immunity to their surroundings, so it's won't be good if you invite a whole crowd of people to your place. But when you're walking with your baby outdoors you can show them to everyone you like.
"Do" or "don't"? There is no definite answer!
- Going to a tanning salon is not recommended. But a lot of expectant mothers don't agree with such a restriction. If you cover your belly with a towel and follow the instructions you'll be safe.
- If you like soy, continue to eat it. But if you've never tried these beans before – it's better not to risk. And you should choose natural soy, even though there is no proof that genetically modified foods have a negative influence on our health.
- Deodorants containing aluminum salts are forbidden. However, you can use perfumed alcohol deodorant.
- Abstain from any trips. The vibrations of transport can trigger uterine muscles' activity and cause a miscarriage or premature birth. But if the woman feels absolutely fine she may travel safely. Just don't choose the following risky periods for traveling: 11-12, 26-27, and 31-32 weeks.
- You can use the computer, but only for a short period of time. Computer overuse is dangerous since the very first terms – it increases the risk of stillbirth.
- Physical exercises are important, but that means you should walk and do specific exercises for pregnant women. No heavy lifting, climbing, marathons, or scuba diving.
- Doctors don't recommend that pregnant women consume a lot of food allergens, such as chocolate or citrus. Be careful with these products (that means – exclude them from your diet if possible). But those who are against strict rules claim that you can eat anything you want during pregnancy. Your body craves for the necessary nutrients! Besides, you'll have to abstain from a lot of products during the breastfeeding period, and it's so tempting to eat your fill in advance!
- You'd better not take any medications. But if it's absolutely necessary, consult a doctor and discuss the matter.
- If you don't take any pills and prefer herbal therapy, you should closely read the ingredients list. Here are herbs which are harmful to future mothers: aloe, barberry, marjoram, ergot, tansy, garlic. They can cause hypertonic uterine dysfunction. Wild strawberries and marigold can make your baby prone to allergies. Eating too much sea kale, sorrel, or spinach cause fetal developmental disorders. Hypericum increases blood pressure. Calamus, blue cornflower, elecampane, cade, celery can end in kidney disorders. Besides, belladonna, yellow water-lily, milkweed, fern, peony, lilac, horsetail, bird cherry tree belong to the poisonous plants. They are sometimes used in treatment in small portions, but you shouldn't take them during pregnancy.
- The same goes for aromatherapy. If you don't have allergies, use essential oils without fear. The safe ones are petit grain, rosewood, sandalwood, tea tree, neroli, eucalyptus, ylang-ylang, lavender, lemon, orange, calendula, wheat germs, jojoba. After a consultation with an expert, you can use bergamot, chamomile, peppermint, olibanum. And the following oils are forbidden during pregnancy: laurel, basil, nutmeg, hyssop, juniper, marjoram, myrrh, thyme, sage, carnation, patchouli (in later stages), cedar, cypress, lemongrass, rosemary, yarrow, fennel. Tansy, agrimony, wormwood, marjoram, pennyroyal can have a toxic effect on the baby or even cause a miscarriage.
- They say you can do an ultrasonic examination only three times during the whole course of pregnancy. Doctors still don't have a single opinion on the matter. Some of them think that modern ultrasound machines are absolutely safe for the baby, and you can use them as many times as you can. Others believe that, anyway, irradiation is irradiation. Don't refuse to do an ultrasound if it's necessary. But performing the procedure only in order to find out the baby's gender isn't so important.

Events convened on Wednesday, 7 November 2001
Successful implementation of the CDM: Putting CDM projects into
Töpfer, UNEP, underscored that the CDM is a flexible instrument
that has the potential to benefit a wide range of actors, provided
that all stakeholders approach projects in the spirit of compromise
and are flexible and willing to experiment at the start of the
CDM. He emphasized that lessons learned from CDM projects should
be a public good to be shared for the benefit of all.
Corrado Clini, G-8 Task Force on Renewables, presented the Task Forces report for the G-8, noting that it was never formally adopted due to changes in G-8 country governments. The report recommends: bringing down the costs of renewable energy by using market mechanisms to expand markets in developing countries; building capacity, particularly local skills in installation and maintenance; mobilizing financing; and leveling the playing field of energy subsidies for renewable energy.
Koskimäki, European Commission (EC), outlined current European
Community programmes that can be used in the context of the CDM,
including capacity building in host countries, research and technology
development, and investments in pilot and demonstration projects
in the energy, transport and waste management sectors. She highlighted
the ECs recent adoption of a Kyoto package that
includes ratification by 2002, EU-wide emissions trading by 2005,
and continuation of the European Climate Change Programme with
the linking of CDM and JI projects to an early-start trading scheme.
Michel Clerc, Droit à lEnergie - SOS Futur, emphasized that access to energy would improve the lives of millions in developing countries and is a critical factor in human development. He explained that his organization believes that access to energy is a fundamental human right, and supports the diversification of energy sources, including the development of nuclear power in politically and economically stable countries. He stressed that the development needs of all human beings can be met using a sustainable development approach, while also realizing the right to energy for all.
Christian Stoffaës, E7 Fund for Sustainable Energy Development, outlined an E7-supported small hydro project in Bolivia, which was designed to be a model CDM project. The project: contributes to rural electrification and social development; tests CDM methodologies; has direct links with socioeconomic development benefits; has co-financing potential; and employs holistic project development and a built-in exit strategy.
Thomas Black-Arbeláez,
Andean Center for Economics in the Environment, outlined the impacts
of the Bonn Agreements on the international emissions credit market.
He explained that: additional credits for forestry activities
in Annex B will reduce demand for external credits and certified
emissions reductions (CERs); the US absence will reduce
demand for CERs by 40 to 55 percent; and Russia could sell all
its hot air and inundate the market, or exert monopoly tactics
to restrict supply until the second commitment period. In the
short run, there will be excess supply of credits and very low
prices, which may limit the demand for CDM projects. He explained
that the price per ton of carbon equivalent in 2010 would approach
US$3.60 without US participation, with allocation of new forestry
credits for Annex B, and if Russia decides to sell all its hot
air. Noting that the US non-participation will cause prices
to fall by nearly 75 percent, he underscored the importance of
getting the US back in the market if the CDM is to benefit developing
Asian Development Bank/World Bank donors consultation meeting on funding mechanisms for greenhouse gas abatement projects in the Asia-Pacific region
Presented by the Asian Development Bank (ADB)
Ajay Mathur, World Bank, explained that the World Bank supports mitigation, adaptation and capacity-building projects. It co-finances 68 climate change mitigation projects that focus on promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy. Capacity-building projects deal with market creation for carbon-friendly technologies. He underscored the importance of long-term partnerships between the Bank and recipient countries.
Alan Miller, GEF, noted that Asia is the largest recipient of climate change project grants, with China receiving the most financial support. He explained that GEF-funded projects address renewable energy, energy efficiency and technology development. Miller underscored that the GEF is willing and capable of assuming an operational role for the climate change funds created under the Bonn Agreements.
Florin Vladu, UNFCCC Secretariat, introduced the new UNFCCC technology transfer information clearinghouse, which aims to improve the flow, accessibility and quality of information on the development and transfer of environmentally-sound technologies. The clearinghouse assembles information from various sources, including the UNFCCC roster of experts, GEF, UNDP and NGOs. He encouraged Parties to comment on the clearinghouse.
Representatives from Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit, Japan Bank for International Cooperation, and Japan International Cooperation Agency described their institutions aims and activities.
The contribution of carbon sinks to the Kyoto Protocol
Presented by the European Community
Anver Ghazi, European Commission (EC), described EC research in the field of global change, which aims to foster better understanding of terrestrial and marine ecosystems and their interactions, and to develop strategies and scenarios for responding to global change.
Christoph Böhringer, Centre for European Economic Research, provided a socioeconomic perspective of carbon abatement policies and international spill-overs. He explained that carbon abatement measures in one country will affect the economies of other countries, and that international spill-overs could have a significant impact on Annex B countries' abatement costs. He underscored the importance of exploring policy measures to counter potential leakage.
Tjeerd van
Weering, Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), described
the results of the Ocean Margin Exchange (OMEX) project, which
studied the ocean carbon cycle of the Goban Spur and the Iberian
Margin. Its findings demonstrate, inter alia, that carbon
fluxes show strong seasonality and short-term variability, and
that organic carbon burial fluxes strongly decrease from the shelf
to the lower slope. He stressed that there are high levels of
uncertainty that need to be addressed and quantified. He concluded
that the project has extended general knowledge about exchange
processes at ocean margins.
Evaluating Bonn
Presented by the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM)
De Moor highlighted
that hot air becomes extremely dominant with the Bonn Agreement
and threatens the development of an international permit market.
He said it is realistic to assume that Russia will exercise market
power by curtailing permit supply and thus the permit price will
increase. If Russia banks 50 percent of its hot air, the environmental
effectiveness of the agreement and financial revenues for Russia
and non-Annex I countries will rise. If the US re-enters, environmental
effectiveness would improve by a factor of four and the permit
market would be enhanced.
John Drexhage,
International Institute for Sustainable Development, underscored
that the environmental integrity of the agreement is severely
compromised without the US. He noted action to reduce emissions
in the US, in Congress and at the state level. He flagged the
need to consider the carbon intensity of Russia's economic growth,
as its economy could turn around. He stressed that a limit on
how much Russia can bank would provide an incentive to sell hot
air now rather than restrict supply.
Morgan, WWF, emphasized that the Bonn Agreements had a significant
impact in the US, by demonstrating that Kyoto is not fatally flawed,
moving closer to an agreement that the US could enter in the future,
and generating bi-partisan Congressional support for mandatory
measures to reduce emissions. She noted public pressure against
Annex I countries buying hot air to meet their commitments, and
increasing private sector interest in mandatory reductions. She
stressed the need for COP-7 to: limit Russia's hot air trading;
restrict countries from banking units for the second commitment
period; and create a sound architecture for sinks.
Peter Vis, European Commission, expressed concern about the implications of Russia's hot air and low permit prices for the viability of the CDM. He highlighted efforts to limit the bankability of removal units as an attempt to address this concern. He said it may be in Russia's best interest to withhold supply, but also raised the issue of domestic action constraining demand. He wondered how the costs of potential US policies would compare to the abatement costs for Annex B countries who have access to the Kyoto mechanisms and hot air. He stressed that Annex B Parties will undertake significant domestic action to comply with supplementarity.
PRECIS: A PC-based regional climate model for use by developing countries Presented by the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research
Geoff Jenkins, Met Office, Hadley Centre, presented the "Providing Regional Climates for Impacts Studies" (PRECIS) climate modeling system. He explained that PRECIS is: a regional climate model (RCM); a full physical model of the climate system; supplied on CD-ROM and run on personal computers; applicable to any region of the globe; easy to use; and useful to national centers and meteorological offices for generating their own climate change predictions.
Jenkins noted that an RCM operates through the same physical processes as a global climate model (GCM), but has a much finer resolution. He highlighted that, compared to GCMs, RCMs: simulate the current climate more realistically; predict climate change with greater detail; represent smaller islands; and simulate and predict extreme weather events more accurately. He underscored that the Centre intends to supply PRECIS to non-Annex I countries for use in their national communications and vulnerability and adaptation studies, and that national users can add local knowledge to improve the model. Jenkins described the application of the PRECIS RCM to the Indian subcontinent and to southern Africa.
Richard Jones, Met Office, Hadley Centre, demonstrated how the PRECIS model works. He explained that the user can specify the domain of the model, length of simulation, driving fields to be used, and the quantities to be saved from the model output.
CDM in the Mediterranean region: Pilot experience, potential and prospects
Presented by the Italian delegation in collaboration with the EC and the Observatoire Meditérranéen de l'Energie (OME)
Eric Nogaret, OME, stated that a project on the CDM in the Mediterranean region elaborated scenarios and strategies for implementation of CDM projects using renewable energy technologies in the region.
Peter Russ, Institute for Prospective Technological Studies, noted that the "Prospective Outlook for Long-term Energy System" model shows that emissions reduction costs will decrease if renewable energy CDM projects are implemented, and that CDM projects can contribute to sustainable development.
Abdehanine Benallou, Morocco, outlined possible renewable energy CDM projects in Morocco, such as powering hammams with solar energy, which would reduce CO2 emissions by three million tonnes over ten years. He stressed that in the absence of carbon permit trading, such projects are not sufficiently profitable to attract private sector investment.
Roberto Vigotti, Erga, stated that the International Energy Agency's renewable energy initiative aims to mobilize capital for renewable technologies through innovative financial instruments and to optimize incentives and investments. The initiative established a searchable database on incentive systems, created a network of private sector representatives, and provided project development assistance.

Finally, a bit of progress at Daikaya.
The ramen shop was originally slated for February 2012, but developers hit a road block while trying to get permits for the restaurant.
This weekend we noticed some structure coming to the property, and an odd sign - can anyone translate?
Commenters over at Prince of Petworth say that the posting, roughly translated, says "Our deepest apologies for disturbing you. Safety is our number one priority, and we would greatly appreciate your cooperation." We appreciate authenticity but we'd be quicker to forgive any disturbances if we could in fact read the sign...

President Moon Jae-in named five new vice ministers Tuesday while telling an incumbent vice foreign minister to remain in the latest move to form what will truly be his first administration.
Lim Sung-nam, the incumbent first vice minister at the foreign ministry, has been asked to continue serving in the post, the presidential office Cheong Wa Dae said.
Kim Yong-soo, a vice ministerial-level official at the Korea Communications Commission, has been appointed the second vice minister for science, ICT and future planning, Cheong Wa Dae spokesman Park Soo-hyun told a press briefing.
Suh Choo-suk, a former presidential secretary for unification and security issues, has been appointed a vice defense minister, while Kwon Deok-cheol, an incumbent official at the Ministry of Health and Welfare, has been promoted to the second highest post at his ministry.
Na Jong-min, a former official and spokesman from the culture, sports and tourism ministry, has been appointed the first vice minister of his ministry, while Ryu Hee-in, a retired Air Force pilot who has also worked at the National Security Commission, has been named the vice minister of the Ministry of Public Safety and Security.
Normally, new vice ministers come after new ministers under a new administration, with the president also allowing his or her ministers to pick their own deputies.
However, time is one luxury the Moon Jae-in administration appears not to have.
President Moon came into office on May 10, only one day after his victory in a rare presidential by-election caused by the ouster of his former conservative predecessor Park Geun-hye over a series of corruption allegations.
So far, he has nominated seven new Cabinet members. Only one -- Prime Minister Lee Nak-yon -- has been appointed following a grueling confirmation hearing. Parliamentary hearings for two minister-nominees are set to be held Wednesday, with an additional four scheduled for next week for the rest.
The president still needs to name and appoint another 11 new members of the Cabinet to complete the change of hands from those appointed under the former conservative government, which could take weeks, if not months, considering the time it has taken so far to name and appoint the prime minister.
Park, the Cheong Wa Dae spokesman, noted the presidential official was doing its utmost to verify candidates for its nominees for new ministers, but said such a process takes time.
Meanwhile, the president also named his new chief economic adviser on Sunday.
Kim Hyun-chul, a Seoul National University professor and vice chairman of the Korea Association of Small Business Studies, was named the special adviser to the president. (Yonhap)


text: Starhawk 1,030 Report post Posted February 19, 2013 Alright guys, we are just about to reach 10 years together here at LCVG (a whole decade!) and that, along with exciting new Next-Next Gen consoles on the horizon, it's time for Extreme Makeover: LCVG Edition. Today, Im starting a fundraiser to raise money just for that. 10 years ago, we probably had the time to do most of this ourselves. But hopefully, now, we have a little more money than time Together, let's see what we can get done. The money raised will go to two areas: 1) New LCVG logo and Invision Theme. We will utilize 99designs.com for the logo to get multiple designs that we can choose from. We'll be able to give feedback to the designers and narrow it down to the perfect one. For this package we will be investing $299. 2) Better Hosting. Kelley has investigated a hosting model through Invision themselves that supports 100 simultaneous users at $70 a month. This will be an upgrade to what we have now and should be much more reliable and stable. We'll also gain the ability to hold chats right in LCVG for up to 250 simultaneous users. This will be more than enough to support the eventual chats for E3, Apple Keynotes, Console announcements, Movie Drafts, centralized right here on the forum so everyone can join in. Our plan here is to go ahead and build up enough funds to cover hosting through Invision for the year. How to donate: Go through Paypal HERE. Any members who donate over $25 will receive a chance to vote on the new LCVG logo. All donations are appreciated and we all support the forum together. Donate once or multiple times. It is up to you. Here's to an exciting 2013 on LCVG! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speeches of Conviction Continue Under New Leadership
Although Speeches of Conviction are the main projects of the winter and spring Public Speaking elective, they have become much more than a term grade: on the night of the speeches, the long line of eager audience members snakes outside of the Campbell Performing Arts Center (CPAC), and the Black Box is filled to the brim with students, teachers, and parents. Speakers deliver Speeches of Conviction on topics they have a strong belief about, covering everything from cyberbullying to racial identity.
Before their Speeches of Conviction, speakers first participate in the Public Speaking class, practicing command of voice, tempo, gesture, and body language in order to give four speeches: two speeches given by famous historical and contemporary influencers and two of their own. The first speech is instructional, explaining how to do something, but the second is their Speech of Conviction. As Speeches of Conviction are given in the Black Box, students often give a more personal speech than they might be able to on the main stage of the CPAC.This year, there is one major change to the elective and event: Mary Frances Bannard will be teaching it for the first time.
Director of Theater Laurie Sales previously taught the class, but as she is currently on sabbatical, Mrs. Bannard is taking over. Mrs. Bannard was surprised that Ms. Sales asked her to lead the class, but she was excited to take on this new project, especially because conducting a public speaking class would be a professional stretch in her career as a Latin teacher. She enjoys new challenges and welcomes change.
Mrs. Bannard has been preparing for the class in several ways. She sat in on and observed the classes last year, speaking extensively with Ms. Sales about how the class will work this year. Though she can not perfectly replicate the class, she is working hard to keep it similar. For instance, Lucy Gund '19, a current member of her public speaking class, said they used enunciation exercises that she remembers Ms. Sales teaching them for warm ups for Cabaret, the winter musical last year. Lucy loves how "the class still has a little taste of Ms. Sales in it."
However, Mrs. Bannard is making a few small changes to the class. For example, she is adding yoga exercises because she says that "a lot about public speaking is about getting your body and voice to work together." She also said that she is asking her students "to be really mindful of the ways people speak publicly on campus and pay attention to Chapel Talks and the way people present themselves in class." Lastly, while Ms. Sales led breathing exercises last year, Mrs. Bannard is putting a larger emphasis on them. Mrs. Bannard is also excited about being able to teach this class in the spring again, as she will be able to tweak it, saying that when she teaches a class multiple times, it is never quite the same.
Lucy was drawn to the class by the Speeches of Conviction she had heard and her brother Owen Gund '19, who took it last year. She said she is looking forward to learning how to capture the attention of a room as speakers before her have. She also noted that her brother loved how close his class became, and she cannot wait for that to happen in her own. While Lucy believes a lot of students will appreciate how Mrs. Bannard is trying to mimic Ms. Sales' teaching style, she also likes Mrs. Bannard's yoga addition, saying that it is really nice for the mornings.
Mrs. Bannard, who always enjoyed the speeches herself, believes that the class is very important to many students' Groton experience: "it's a class [Laurie Sales] holds very dear and I am trying my best to honor her. This class is important to many people so I'm really doing my best to carry that on."

Comfort food is great, but do you have comfort books? I tend to re-read some books over and over again. I don't know why; I guess there's something in them that resonates with me. Different books suit different moods. Here are some of my favorites, most of which go really well with chocolate:
Feeling down and need something to cheer you up?Try Rowling's Harry Potter, Anne McCaffrey's Dragonsong, Dragonsinger, and Dragondrums, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain, or The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien.
Feeling gloomy and want to savor it? (I.e. "Sad is happy for deep people" - Doctor Who)
Bored? These books are unputdownable:
Starved for romance?
What are your favorites?

You know how online, someone you kind of know will make a joke using dry wit or sarcasm?
And if you notice that they're doing that, you might play along?
Because humor is humorous and jokes are jokey?
But then you do that, and the other person explains to you that they were "only joking?"
And you're like "I know that. I was joking too–you know, because of the joke."
And they're like "Oh, right. Okay, yeah…that joke I was making."
By then, the joke isn't remotely funny any more–and I'm just vaguely uncomfortable.

So it's been a week of living in Barcelona now, it's gone so fast and we've achieved so much already. It's been a minimum of 20 degrees everyday, only rained for about 10 minutes and we've eaten a lot of amazing and cheap food. We've also been to IKEA about 5 times, assembled ALOT of flat pack furniture, eaten a lot of IKEA meatballs and tried Spanish Domino's. We've yet to go to the beach, even though my Dad asks me everyday if we have or not. It's on the to do list. Anyway, thought it would be fun/interesting to have a little ramble about some of the (possibly) useful things that I've learnt about Spain so far.
A DNI/NIE card is pretty essential to everything…
We knew that we'd need to get these ID cards within the first month of living here, but from some misinformation we read we seemed to think we could wait until we got here to sort it. Such a mistake! If you're going to move to a European country, try to get this paperwork sorted before you move. It's more important than a Passport and is asked for when you want to do a whole bunch of important things from renting a property, signing up for the internet, setting up untilties and even just buying larger household items. There are so places that allow you to use a Passport instead of a DNI/NIE, but it's way easier and quicker if you have the card.
Insects become a problem…
In England I don't think I've had an issue with insects since an incident when I stepped on a wasp when I like 10 or something. It didn't even occur to me that being in a different climate would make these tiny creatures so annoying! First day in the flat, we're sorting through the cleaning cupboard with the past tenant's supplies where I mindlessly just chuck out four types of insect repellent, thinking "we don't need these! Let's make some space!" not at all thinking that this might be there for a bloody good reason. Now, luckily it's no cockroaches just yet, but for the first time in a long, long time I'm suffering with bug bites. I don't know what kind, or when they occured, but man are they annoying! I'm currently looking like a dot-to-dot. Buy bug repellent.
Spanish people don't queue…
We all joke about how English people love to queue, well, we don't but we do queue for stuff quite a lot and generally in a pretty organised fashion with strict, unwritten rules. Here, you don't really queue, you kinda gather. It's a bit frustrating when you have no idea what's going on, combined with the language barrier. However, this isn't a bad thing, it means you can take your time and kinda chill where is comfortable instead of being stressed out in a slow moving line, where the person behind you has spacial awareness issues. There's lots of places that have the old school ticket taking method, which I like and then when it's a gathering rather than a queue, newcomers always just ask which person they are after and it all seems to run pretty smoothly.
You can get much done between 1-4pm…
If you've only ever spent time in a touristy part of Spain, you may not notice this the same as when you're in the normal, residential areas, but Spain still sticks to it's siesta tradition. Siesta is when people take time out in the middle of the day when the Sun is hottest to chill out at home, spend time with their family and enjoy a long, relaxing (usually food based) break. So, because of this most businesses, close for four hours in the middle of the day. Of course, you'll still find supermarkets and cafes, bars and resturants are still open, but anything majorly productive goes on hold at this time. Yes, when you've just moved here and have so much stuff to do to get settled, this is frustrating, but once you get into the swing of things it's actually a really lovely thing. It's great to see a culture that still supports having time for yourself and having a well deserved break to spend with friends and family, it makes the whole pace of life; calmer, happier and gives you moments to relax and make new memories.
I need a whole new wardrobe…
Before moving to Barcelona, we'd visited about 5 times at various times of the year. The warmest time we'd been here before though was April, so not really that hot. I knew it would get hot at high Summer, but it's only May and I'm already too hot. I don't have any suitable outfits, yes I have loads of t-shirts and some odd dresses, shorts and skirts, but being so used to having to wear layers, none of it really goes together. So this is in addition to my existing problem of having put on weight and not having anything that fits me in the first place. So, next on the shopping list is figuring out which size I am in European and finding stores that cater to tall people, wish me luck! I don't think I like clothes shopping anymore.
Anyway, we've got limited internet at the moment, which means the moments I have online are being extremely productive to make the most of it. We'll have WiFi in the flat in the next week though, I'm currently dreading my phone bill, we've been using my mobile for internet tethering. Figuring out what to do about a mobile is next on the list, wish us luck! I'll update more on our adventures very soon.

3 thoughts on "What I've learnt about Spain in the first week of living here…."
A tip from a Spanish girl.
Enjoy the weather. Walks through its streets, walks around lakes and mountains, walk along the beach.
Enjoy the people. Spanish peaple are friendly and kind. Meets many people and talk or just go out to party with them, it's easier than you think.
And enjoy the food. Spanish food has many influences from other cultures over the years and has very good ingredients. Vegetables and fruits grow with lots of sun and water and they are delicius. Try Custard Apple (chirimoya), peaches, Persimmon (caqui) and Prickly Pear (higo chumbo).
I live in Granada, it's beautiful and you should visit the Alhambra 🙂
Nice trip!

This weeks draw - Sunday League
- Details
- Details
No trainings or Junior League on Tuesday or Thursday this week due to a volleyball event being held at ASB Sports Centre. Sunday League is not affected by this and will carry on as normal this weekend (27th November)
- Details
Due to some school closures, poor weather/flooding and general traffic chaos we have decided the safest option is to cancel ALL floorball this evening.
Therefore there will be no Junior Floorball League, U13, U15 or Adult training at ASB Sports Centre tonight (Tuesday 15th).
Apologies for the late notice, it's a hard call to make in such a fast changing environment! Please tell your friends and help us spread the word!
Floorball is on today!
- Details
Good morning,
This is to advise that junior/adult training and primary league is on today. We understand that some people will be feeling a little insecure after the events of the last couple of days and completely understand if you do not wish to attend. If teams cannot take part in junior league, please advise us as soon as possible.
In the event of an emergency at the ASB all players, parents and supporters are to follow the advice of the ASB staff. Although Wellington floorball staff will be advising in conjunction with ASB staff where to evacuate to, Wellington floorball staff are not responsible for individual players who attend training or league by themselves. All players should have a caregiver, coach or manager responsible for them. Kilbirnie Tennis Club is the evacuation site.
If things change during the day we will advise teams through email and on the Wellington Floorball Facebook page so please keep a look out.
Have a good day and we look forward to seeing you tonight.
Wellington Floorball

When I was a kid I had two favorite books. One was Three Little Pigs and the other was Pablo – The Penguin That Hated The Cold. In the story Pablo lives in Antarctica. All the other penguins thrives and plays around in the snow while Pablo is freezing and can't stand the cold. That's exactly how I feel about Sweden, it's too cold for me and it doesn't' feel "right". Pablo finally decides to do something about it. He starts sawing off a part of the ice floe where his house is located at, in the shape of a boat and sets off. When he reaches southern Africa the ice floe starts to melt and he continues to travel in a magical bathtub that is powered by the shower pipe. He finally reaches the Galapagos Islands and settles down for good. He builds a hut of dry palm leaves and put up a hammock in the tropics.
The story always left me with the feeling that anything is pawsible! I remember thinking that maybe I can live in the tropics one day too and enjoy the sun and the beautiful palm trees. Now I'm 37 and I have finally decided to do something about it. Ap ap ap…. relax, I'm not moving (yet). BUT I'm going to Indonesia to live the fairy tail for one month, feeling that I am finally following the foot steps of Pablo the Penguin! (IIIiiiihhh hi hi hi hi…. dancing around the apartment)
This is what Stockholm looked like today, the first snow…
On Christmas Eve Märta and I are jumping on a plane. We are celebrating Christmas in the clouds this year and on Christmas Day we land in Denpasar in Bali. Can't wait to explore Ubud (where we'll be staying) and to kickstart our new projects on social media surrounded by palm trees, exotic fruits, books, yoga studios and organic healthy food.
Our new friends Melanie & Tobias already lives there and inspire us every day. They've built a healthy life filled with freedom and happiness. (YouTube: Love Conscious Family). Looking forward to see you soon!

Police have hit back at criticisms of the mandatory 12-month disqualification of drink drivers, saying many are flagrantly breaching their bans.
There are no plans to soften the law, the Cook Islands Police Service says.
The comments come in response to complaints that the mandatory ban is "unfair, harsh and cruel" – a claim by defence lawyers in yesterday's Cook Islands News.
Police spokesman Trevor Pitt said although the police would be supportive of looking into it the ban, especially as it affected drink drivers, changing the law was not an option at the moment.
The current disqualification could actually be made more stringent, he suggested, as disqualified drivers are presently eligible to apply for a partial licence after the first six months of their ban.
"They do this primarily for broad welfare reasons to do with work and support for their families," he said.
If the court considered there was good reason, it will alleviate the hardship by granting limited use of a vehicle.
But at the moment police are concerned with the rising number of around 180 disqualified drivers.
Pitt said these were drivers that police were monitoring and many were breaching their disqualifications imposed by the High Court.

Mao by Andy Warhol
Originally uploaded by andydoro.
Sadly, Mao's control led to farm policies that produced famine. In re-arranging the crop plan and the structure of farms he plunged the nation into chaos. Starvation resulted. But the outside knew nothing of that holocaust because of the communist control of news and the demographics of China. The truth was hidden behind a "bamboo curtain" of communist information control.
How do Americans tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese cultures?
One point is that the Chinese had a high civilization that was absorbed by the Koreans and, in turn, assimilated by the Japanese.
Map study:
Yangtze River flows into the East China Sea near Shanghai.
Yellow River flows into the Yellow Sea, which is near Korea.
The Great Wall more or less parallels the Yellow River - above Beijing.
The Yellow and Yangtze valleys are Cradles of Civilization and among the world's most densely-populated regions.

It all started as a bet about 6 years ago, says C. Seth Fowler, a Fort Worth real estate agent with Williams Trew. Little did he know that a friendly wager would turn into a calling card.
Now Fowler, a go-getter of a Realtor, has something in common with Bill Nye the Science Guy and Doctor Who's 11th Doctor, Matt Smith: A penchant for bow ties!
"So now I pretty much only wear bow ties and I've even had people come up to me telling me they didn't recognize me if I wasn't wearing a bow tie," Fowler said. "So yeah, I guess I am 'The Bow Tie Realtor,' but I want to be known for my skills more than my attire."
That's OK, Seth. We hear that bowties are cool!
We asked Fowler to open up a bit about those skills as this week's Great Western Home Loans Featured Realtor. While you can learn more about Fowler on twitter (@bowtierealtor), jump to find out why he chose a career in real estate and the place he calls his second home!
Where are you from?
C. Seth Fowler: I grew up in Boerne in the Texas Hill Country just outside of San Antonio. My wife and I moved to Fort Worth in 2002.
How did you get into real estate?
Fowler: My dad was in new home sales when I was 16 years old and I loved seeing him be a part of people's lives and helping them see their dreams grow from the ground up. In 2004 I started in new home sales and loved that, but in 2014 I was invited to be a real estate sales professional for Williams Trew Real Estate and I couldn't pass up that opportunity.
You specialize in residential sales. Tell us: What are some unique challenges that Realtors face in this market?
Fowler: I specialize in being me. I am a real estate sales professional. Unlike many in this business, I embrace being called a sales professional. Whether clients are buying or selling their home, they're not looking for a friend, they're not looking for a bus driver, they are looking for someone who is going to help them make the best purchasing or selling decision. That's what I do.
Where is home for you?
Fowler: We have lived on the west side of Fort Worth since we moved to Fort Worth. We recently had our home featured on CandysDirt.com and sold it and are considering moving further west for family reasons. I have a special needs son and he needs more outdoor space.
And you drive a … let me guess, Mercedes Benz?
Fowler: Nah, I'm not the Mercedes Benz type…I drive a 2008 Tahoe. I am hoping to get 300,000 miles on it before I get another one.
What's your favorite 'hood in Fort Worth and why?
Fowler: So many great areas… I think my favorite is Crestwood. I love it because of the trees and because it's so quiet. When I was in new home sales, the company I worked for was responsible for starting a total Renaissance on certain streets that were a little spooky until we changed it.
What was your best/highest sale?
Fowler: My highest was in Mira Vista a while ago. It was over $1.5 million by the time it was completed. My best is always the next one coming.
Likewise, what was your most challenging or memorable transaction?
Fowler: I was at an open house for a home still under construction and it was a total mess — debris all over the place. A lady walked up, we started talking, and by the end of our conversation we had made an appointment for the next day to write the contract. They were great buyers and I still keep in touch with them today.
How quickly have you ever turned a house?
Fowler: Obviously the state of this market is nuts. I've sold homes that weren't even for sale!
How much did you sell last year?
Fowler: It was a good year in 2015. I was able to stay one step ahead of the bill collector!
What words of wisdom do you often share with clients?
Fowler: I share a lot with clients … sometimes too much probably but that's just who I am. The biggest thing I try to impart on my clients is, "You buy your home to sell your home." That means when a client is looking to buy a home, remember that statistics show they'll live there on average 5 to 7 years. Rarely do people buy that "forever home," so think about the home and how it will look in 5-plus years when they're trying to resell it. Will others like the updates and selections and layout of the home? If it's an odd home or has strange facets to it, my clients might not mind, but they need to consider what others will think of it when it's on the market in the future.
If you ever change careers for an encore you'll…
Fowler: That's easy. I would be a professional speaker. I love giving speeches and talks especially in regards to the Autism Spectrum and talking to families that are dealing with a child on the Spectrum. My wife and I wrote a book a few years ago about that and we speak at conferences all across the country and it's so energizing and rewarding. I would love to be able to devote more time especially talking to fathers of children with Autism.
Do you have a second home? If so, where?
Fowler: I sure do…it's called the Williams Trew World Headquarters located at 3707 Camp Bowie Blvd. in Fort Worth!

Within the framework of input/output stability we develop an algorithm for testing the stability of a given direct neuro-fuzzy controller in a feedback situation, dependant only on the functional gain of the plant to be controlled. A series of geometrical descriptions are then developed for the set of weights for which the feedback loop remains stable. These are then exploited to give adaptive mechanisms, where training can be achieved on line, whilst maintaining stability of the feedback loop.

Larimar Stone Of Drfinejewels Could Be So Much Beneficial For Your Health

Posted Dominican blue amberin
The blue shade of amber is the rarest variety of all the colors available. At the same time, it is an absolute piece of wonder, as the particular shade gives it an exotic look. These are mostly found on the northern coast of the Dominican Republic. The little that is found is used in making exquisite pieces of jewelry bound to enhance the wearer's beauty. This shade that makes this variety so special is actually due to the coloration of the hydrocarbons present in this glowing stone. There are some ways in which you can use this variety to boost your look while you keep it natural.
This Variety gives an esthetically strong look
The shade that it possesses after its coloration can be considered almost unique. This particular shade makes it acquire an esthetical value. This shade also makes it artistically valuable, for which it is used in making off-the-track jewelry. So it can be used to enhance your beauty and can give your deck up a unique look. You just have to match the Dominican blue amber with the right dress to make a great fashion statement. Choose a dress with the color that goes well with that particular luminescent shade. It can be milky white attire or a sea-green one.
Ensure that you craft it well
Every gemstone should be used in the right way to make the jewelry look good. With this shade, you have to be extra cautious. A wrong crafting might lead to an unfortunate fashion blunder. So use the exquisite piece of natural art sensibly to enhance your appeal. For instance, it will be a wise choice to use a silver chain with a pendant made of that stone rather than a silver beaded string. It can also be paired up with a subdued shade of gold. Or else, if you have the sufficient budget, you can use it over a band of platinum. There are several chains available in Drfinejewels to pair up with Dominican blue amber.
Give yourself a unique look
You can get a look that is unique in its appeal. The shade itself is unique and extremely rare. It is very difficult to find an authentic piece. This difficulty is increasing with each passing day since more fake ones are being sold as the authentic stone. An interesting fact that will surprise you is that the quantity of pure variety extracted annually is a hundred kilograms while that of the poor variety is about eight hundred grams. You can thus very well understand the extent of the rarity. Thus use it if you get hold of one, to have a unique look.
You Will Feel Good Too
The last but perhaps the best benefit that you will get along with that exquisite beauty is the feel-good factor. It energizes your body, and you feel much stronger than before. The blue variety is endowed with greatly efficient healing powers. In earlier times it was used as a therapeutic cure. Along with looking beautiful, you are thus able to feel much better and more active than ever before. So if you are lucky enough to find this variety and have the adequate budget, purchase one for yourself.

Posted Amber for Salein
For those who love to wear jewelry other than the usual silver or gold jewelry, an amber is a good option. The texture, that characteristic glow, and a subdued shine make it very appealing to all. Moreover, it is completely natural, made by the hardening of fossilized resin. It gives a sophisticated look whenever you wear such jewelry. Also, you can find different shapes and hues, which look equally beautiful. So while choosing the right one for yourself or as a gift to somebody, make sure you have certain things in mind.
The Color It possesses
Its color is the most important factor. The more intense the color, the better is the jewelry made from it. Also, there are quite a few shades of amber to choose from. There is yellow, red and green mainly. The blue shade is extremely rare to be found. In jewelry, yellow is considered to be the richest color. The ideal shades are the medium and highly dark ones. The red variety is also valuable in jewelry.
The Clarity in the texture
The texture of the amber for sale might be such that it has a translucent appearance. The varieties that are unclear or entirely opaque are not ideal ones for jewelry making. So be careful to notice the clarity of the stone in a jewelry item. This 'stone' is found in several regions of the world. The variety hailing from the Dominican Republic is found to have a greater clarity than hailing from other regions.
An Adequate Number of Choices
There are also some things which you must know to find the one that will be suitable for you. For that, firstly, you must find a huge range to choose from. Also, the jewelry shop from where you have decided to buy it must have a sufficient collection. It shouldn't be that you find only a few varieties to choose from. This way you are also ensured that you don't have to run to many shops to find your ideal choice.
Keep in mind your budget
The budget is also important while you choose the right one for yourself. They come with a varied range of prices. You can find quite affordable ones as well as very expensive ones. So you should have a clear idea of what your budget is. The more exquisitely ones will obviously be priced higher than the others. There is a huge range of amber for sale available in Drfinejewels, with a varied no of styles and designs.
Go on and buy the suitable one
These are the points that would help you to make a better choice of an authentic specimen. There are loads of choices available for everything nowadays. So some guidelines about the type of product you are buying always help you to make a good choice. Follow this advice and proceed to buy the right ring or necklace or any other such jewelry item for yourself. These types of jewelry can also act as great gifts.

I am trying to determine why I am not getting power at the fuel pump on my '76 Celica GT (original owner). I tested the pump at the battery and it works fine. Right now I am looking at the fuel pump relay switch but I don't have a wiring diagram to show which wires are which. I have found that not all of the wires at the relay switch are lighting up my circuit tester and am tracing these now to see where the problem may originate. Quite possibly this is where the problem lies. Incidentally, the engine runs fine if I spray gasoline directly into the carburetor.
The fusible link at the battery is toast and I can't find one at the wreckers. Is it safe enough to wire a fuse in at the same location?
I would be grateful if anyone has any advice to offer. My automotive skills are clearly at the novice level.
Thank you.
