Those of you following my blog for the last week or so, know that I have requested prayer for my friend, Cindy. She has been with me through so much the past couple of years. And she has gone through so much herself.
This past week has been especially tough on her.
She is now down in the Nashville area, taking care of her mother, while her sister, Cher, takes care of her own son, Timothy.
Cindy is not the nurse type. She threw up when her kids threw up and were sick. She just isn't gifted in this area. However, now she is taking care of her mom, who has a colostomy and is going through chemo treatments for an in-operable cancer, ovarian. Her mom is not a believer so, though the chemo will only give her at most 6 more months, she is trying it.
The chemo is making her extremely sick, and now that she has just had surgery to put in the colostomy, she is going back in for chemo tomorrow.
Cindy took her in for some doctor appointments today. She is going to spend most of the day tomorrow at doctor offices, and then Thursday her mom gets her first bout of chemo since her surgery for the colostomy. The she has to take her mom, sick from the chemo, through a bunch of doctor visits on Friday.
My biggest prayer request is for her rest. When I talked to her today, Cindy just sounded exhausted. She is wiped. She said she hasn't been sleeping well. She goes to bed when her mom does, and gets up when she does. But last night alone, she went to bed just after 10pm, and was up by 5:30am. Now that wouldn't be so bad if she were sleeping straight through the night and waking rested. But she isn't sleeping through the night. I know that she has been waking up several times, at least. She also has been dealing with a steady headache for about 8 weeks now.
All day.
Every day.
Non stop.
Every day.
Non stop.
Nothing touches it. Nothing stops it. Nothing even lessens the pain.
I can't describe what my heart did when I heard her voice today. She just sounded to me like she was talking so carefully, just because she couldn't hardly move. You know the feeling. When you are barely hanging onto consciousness because you are so tired. She sounded so exhausted, and it was just about noon.
Please. Please pray for her. I know you don't know Cindy. I know you don't know her family. But even a brief prayer on her behalf, I know God will hear.
Her mom, Janie, and her sister Cher, do not know Jesus. I doubt her nephew Timothy does either. Please pray for their salvation. They so need to rest in the arms of Jesus, and have an assurance and strength that passes all understanding. They need, most of all, HOPE. Just by the things Cindy has described, they have none. They are clinging with desperation, to this life.
Thank you so much for your prayers. I know that Cindy appreciates them... more than you can know. When I told her I was posting here on my blog for her, she was so grateful to know others were praying.
Soon, I will be able to get back to regular posts, but for now, please keep Cindy and her family in your prayers.
Here is a direct update from Cindy... Her words, not mine. I am copying and pasting from an email that I got from her today.
Thanks so much for praying!As you can tell, the prayers are needed and well appreciated. I am glad that she emailed me and let me know how she was doing, and how things went today... and that now you have her words, not just mine! I had emailed her on the off chance that she would have email... wasn't sure she had her computer with her or internet access.
Today was chemo day and we are at back at Mom's now and she is sleeping. I have had some quiet time to read and pray both during her chemo and over the last hour as she sleeps...God is giving me everything I need and I am so very thankful I have Him and so many people praying.
Additional prayer request is for my Dad, who is struggling right now with his health...I don't know exactly what is going on, but a gal who works for a home health care group will be visiting his house tomorrow and said she would call me and let me know how he is doing.
The phone calls have been nonstop today between my brother, sister and dad. But, still God is giving me peace and I know He will give me wisdom in all the situations I find myself in with the family.
Prayer for their salvation and peace in their souls and hearts still is my greatest prayer.
Thank you again!
Love you all,

Results tagged "Dreams" from Kazza the Blank One
Slept a lot better last night. Although I woke up at 4:52am and had some trouble getting back to sleep. I dreamt that straight after this trip I got off a plane in Sydney, then met Fran and we we had to rush to the next plane to go to America! Made it just in time. Had seats down the back of the plane. I thought they were aisle and middle seats, but the plane tapered right in at the back so I was near a window. I said I hadn't done any research for a trip to America so it was all going to have to be planned when we got there. Weird :)
Breakfast was pretty average this morning.
We spent the morning at the Hard Times mine, a tourist mine they've built in the middle of town. It's a bit disappointing that you can't see a "real" mine in Mount Isa, but for this one they've brought in a lot of actual equipment (older stuff of course) and some of the machinery still works and makes a lot of noise when they run it! Also, it means all the bits and pieces are quite close together so you don't have to walk too far to see everything. So it was a pretty cool tour.
Afterwards we had a bit of a wander through the museum there, and the Riversleigh museum made me all nostaligic for uni after watching a video of Mike Archer's work there. I realised tonight that I probably only recently threw out all my first year biology notes, including lecture timetables where I could have told you the first time I heard him talk.
Had some lunch (Subway platters, although no proper pizza subs) in the botanical park out the back.
After lunch we got taken up to the lookout again.
Then drove through the site of the main mine, and out to the powerstation that one of the guys on the tour had a part in building? Or working on in some capacity? Something like that.
And finally up to Moondarra Dam (which is *very* low at the moment).
Came back and after a quick wander (nothing is open on a Sunday here except a couple of things like Coffee Club and the bottle-o) we came back to the hotel. We were going to go for another wander but the museum we wanted to see was by appointment only and I was feeling pretty worn out, so I just stayed here and did computer stuff.
Went downstairs for dinner again. I had some "shrimp" for entree, which were quite tasty, veal for mains, which was beautiful and tender, and chocolate mousse for dinner, which was lovely as well.
Then back up to use up the remainder of the wifi time limit.
Oh, we heard both the 8am and 8pm blasts today too.
I almost *never* have scary dreams. The last time I had one was the night before I started at my current job over five years ago. Before that it was even longer since I'd had one. Last night I had a dream in which I felt scared. Things that go bump in the night type scared. Firstly odd sounds, but I don't remember too much of that. Then there was this crackly buzzing, sounded a bit like a geiger counter, but more regular. Stu and I were in the bedroom hearing it come closer to us. Opened the bedroom door but nothing to be seen and the sound sounded it like it was coming from inside the room, but no matter where we looked we couldn't find the source. Then I woke up, and Stu's machine / breathing was making that exact noise. Freaky.

Timing: Completed late 2017
Brisbane Airport Corporation's (BAC) commitment to sustainability has been highlighted once again with the successful completion of a major car park lighting initiative that has seen power usage slashed by nearly 60 per cent.
The project centred on the P1 and P2 car parks at the Domestic Terminal as well as in the multi-level car park at the International Terminal, with more than 10,000 fluorescent lights replaced by modern, energy saving LED equivalents.
"Our goal was to achieve significant reductions through the installation of energy efficient lighting and I'm proud to say that in just the first month of operation power usage at the three car parks has dropped by between 55 per cent and 60 per cent which is a fantastic outcome," explained Martin Ryan, Head of Parking and Transport Services
"To enhance energy savings yet maintain a suitable level of safety, the luminaries above the parking bays use a sensor to dim or brighten when vehicle or pedestrian movement is detected, while fittings along the roadways still maintain 100% brightness," he said.
The pioneering initiative is not just a cost saver for BAC, it is also a win for the environment, with the new LED lights reducing carbon emissions on airport by an estimated 2925 tonnes of CO2 per year, equivalent to 270 average households.

Happy New Year!
I've spent much of the past week in the Maldives, which has been extremely relaxing.
Now before I get yelled at for going to the Maldives again, let me explain that this isn't a trip I'm taking for the sole purpose of reviewing, but rather one I'm taking because I actually want to spend quality time with Ford. So while I'll be writing a trip report about the flights, I realize it won't be everyone's cup of tea, given that I was in the Maldives in April.
The good news is I'm reviewing several new business class products in January, which I think you guys will really enjoy.

I'd argue frequent flyer programs are one of the best ideas the airlines ever had. I think it would be any capitalist's dream to be able to make hundreds of millions of dollars selling a "currency" where you control every aspect of the earnings and redemption rates.
But there's one huge mistake I think the airlines are making.

Make a quiet fan directly at home to enjoy a discretion, optimal air circulation. With DC motor, these fans do agree that barely. You won't even notice when it is turned on, if not by the pleasant cool or warm air that will run optimally.
Numerous fans are equipped with the summer/winter function, allowing both to circulate air in summer, for a temperature nice and not stuffy, but also to optimize the movement of warm air in the winter for lower costs of heating.

It feels great to grow your own seedlings, if you can. You need a little time and space, a little gear (like a hot house/cabinet), a little warmth, and then you need to remember to keep the tender stems moist as they grow over the coming weeks. Carefully selecting and packing seeds into seedling trays has become a day that I look forward to on my gardening calender. You reap the rewards every time you see the new growth and, of course, when you eventually plant them out and count the savings!
It's still technically winter here, although our climate is warmer than others and we have lovely sunny days that encourage germination. That's great news for the seeds that have entered the warm space of my hot house this week. Germinate away!!
I am still in the process of cultivating seeds from my own plants (mental note to self: let some of the plants go to seed!!), so almost all of my currant seedlings-to-be have come from shop bought seeds. That's a perfectly fine way to start your own plants and, from experience, you can be more certain that seeds are quality and will actually sprout. There was that one time that I had to go without Peas and Broad Beans, after waiting patiently for my hard-picked seeds from the previous season to sprout. They didn't.
Here's what's inside my hot house at the moment:
In about a month, my little hot house cabinet should be swelling with seedlings, ready to be planted out in the garden early spring. Then, seeds of our most loved veges will be sewn into punnets each month to keep a continuous supply: Spinach, Beetroot, Lettuce, Carrots, Broccoli … the list goes on!
And why the Sunflowers and Swan Plants for Monarch Butterflies, you ask? Because, why not. Both of these pretty-up the garden space and make me smile. I haven't yet caught my Sunflower heads at the right time to dry and use the seeds (eating and planting), however it's another thing that's on my list of things of garden goals. FYI – try to plant Swan Plants near to plants with big leaves, as I have found that the caterpillars like to establish their chrysalis' underneath them. I suspect that this is to shelter from the sun, wind and rain – and maybe hungry birds! See Blooms and Butterflies to see what I mean.
Bring on the sunshine – and remember to water those seedlings!

Who are usually pushed into buying an insurance policy or making a fixed deposit, In addition to the locker fees. However, in case of a locker, banks don't know the contents in a safe deposit locker.
"Banks cannot take an insurance cover for things that they don't know. Hence, banks don't take insurance for the valuables kept inside a locker.
Banks disclose that they are not liable for your loss
You sign on an agreement when you hire a bank locker.
"The bank is not responsible for any loss or deterioration of or damage to the contents of the locker whether caused by rain, fire, flood, earthquake, lightening, civil commotion, war, riot or any other cause/s not in the control of the bank."
The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) has rejected the argument that locker customers are only tenants and, hence, banks cannot be held liable for any loss suffered by them.
However, as things stand, the law is loaded against the customer .
The term door security may refer to any range of measures used to strengthen doors against door breaching, ram-raiding and lock picking, and prevent crimes such as burglary and home invasions.
You must insure all your valuables against theft, rethink the need for a locker just to store valuables. If insurance is going to pay for theft, why not keep it at home and buy a cover. Its better to get a burglar alarm system, or a anti theft device to your own house and live a tension free life from theft of money .

The question of whether homing pigeons use visual landmarks for orientation from distant, familiar sites is an unresolved issue in the field of avian navigation. Where evidence has been found, the question still remains as to whether the landmarks are used independent of the map and compass mechanism for orientation that is so important to birds. Recent research has challenged the extent to which experiments that do not directly manipulate the visual sense can be used as evidence for compass-independent orientation. However, it is proposed that extending a new technique for research on vision in homing to include manipulation of the compasses used by birds might be able to resolve this issue. The effect of the structure of the visual sense of the homing pigeon on its use of visual landmarks is also considered.

|Frist Apperance:
|The New Ranger

|End of the Ninja Mask, Part 2
|Number of Episode Appearances:

The Lone StarNitro is a Olivia Black's giant robot that is formed from the BullTaro and its cart having undergone the Transformation. In this form, Lone StarNitro is able to unleash a torrent of firepower from its shoulder cannons in its Bull Cannon (猛牛砲, Mōgyūhō) attack, as well as armed with a handheld Gatling gun (that it holds like it's a handgun). Lone StarNitro's final attack is the Bull Great Revolving Cannon (猛牛大回転砲, Mōgyū Daikaitenhō), where the Samurai Giant uses the Mojikara for "ferocious" (猛, mō) to fire its Gatling cannon whilest unleasing a burst of Mojikara from the disk loaded on its head. It can also use the enlarged Lone-Bazooka alongside its gattling gun.
BullTaro Zord Edit
The BullTaro is a massive red ox-themed Origami that drags a black gissha cart behind it. It was the first Origami, created by chance more than three centuries ago by the people of Mount Tsunobue, but due to its excessive power, it was unable to be controlled, and was sealed within the mountain until the Ushi Disk was created in modern times. Once brought back it's senses, Olivia Black takes the Origami for the group.
Mega Lone StarNitro Edit
The Mega Lone StarNitro is the combination of BullTaro and Tiyga. In this combination, BullTaro grants Tiyga the ability to fly.
Tiyga is a Penelope Green's green tiger-themed Origami. In the previous war with the Gedoshu, the Tora Origami somehow ended up on the banks of the Sanzu River. It came under the control of the Ayakashi Hitodama, who used it to attack the city.

Have you met the Common Core?
Common Core State Standards, also known as CCCS, is designed to "provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy." (citation: http://www.corestandards.org/). Vermont formally adopted the CCSS in August 2010 and is set for full implementation in the current 2013/2014 school year.
Rather than focusing on the individual standards themselves, we urge you to envision a student at the end of their schooling:

As a parent, are you curious about learning goals at your child's grade level under the Common Core? Click here to find a two-page Parents' Guide that has been produced by the National PTA.
Franklin West embraced the Common Core by developing the FWSU Action Plan to help our teachers and community to envision new ways to approach teaching and learning. Our blog offers a glimpse into this important work. Our teachers are now working hard to develop and align our curriculum and instruction with the Common Core. Students are beginning to hear language about being "Career and College Ready."

Ok, this had me ROLLING! So The Walking Dead was back on TV last night, and Darius Rucker was asked if he had ever watch the show. HIs story about watching it for the first time with his son Jake is CRACKING ME UP!!
"Jack, my son, wanted to get into The Walking Dead, so I said, 'Yeah, dude. I'll watch it with you.' So, we were going to binge-watch the first couple of seasons, and it was the first episode, and we were sitting in my man cave, and it was the first episode and I'm sitting there. People who watch it will know the scene I'm talking about it. It's the little girl that's facing away and they're slowly panning into the little girl. I thought, 'That's cool. Boy, I'll watch it.' They pan and she turns around and I got up and ran out of the room. I mean, I pushed Jack down and I ran out of the room, and I said, 'I cannot watch this television show!' That was the end of it for me. That little girl freaked me out so much I couldn't watch any more Walking Dead. I haven't watched it since. True story. I ran out of the room. Aaaaaahhhhh I'm screaming. It was awful."

Today we did other sea creatures...lobster, mussels, oysters, shrimp, and calamari. Mmmm I love calamari.
To remove the oyster meat, first clean the outside. They are dirty! Put cup-shaped side down on towel, then fold towel over flatter top. Stick in oyster knife (if you're going to do this a lot, get a good one - Sur la Table has a nice one that I borrowed from Irish) and when there is resistance, pivot knife to pop it. Then run the knife along inside to cut the abductor muscle at the top. Take off top, cut muscle underneath, then flip the oyster. Oh, yeah, and do all this without spilling the juice - apparently that's tasty. The third and last one I did, I finally did got it to pop really well. I tried one raw, but I didn't really like it. It was gritty and the consistency...I love squid in any form, but oysters...I don't know.
For shrimp, you just have to peel off the shell. This is realy easy to do. Don't forget to take the tiny legs with the shell! Leave the last segment before the tail on. To devein the shrimp, make a shallow cut with your paring knife along the top, and then pull out the vein (if it's dark, it has poop in it - really really tiny poop). Forget paying extra for shelled shrimp - this is so easy to do.
Tennessee and I made fried calamari. For the breading, we mixed flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and paprika. Season to taste (put a little on your arm and lick it - this is a really important step). Make sure you put in enough paprika so the flour is tinted - this will make a big difference in the golden brown color you get. Do breading stations - bread, egg wash (egg and little buttermilk), bread. Use one hand for dry, one hand for wet. Or bags - that works well too. By the way, and I say this with unashamed boasting, the one I threw together, it was the best one in the class. Tennessee grabbed the ingredients, but I put it together. Seriously. It was so good. Chef kept pointing back to our's as a comparison of the color other people should be getting. Again, camera would have been so wonderful here. Or you could just invite me over and allow me to fry up oil in your kitchen...
Then I sampled mussels (moules marinieres), shrimp tempura, and shrimp with garlic. I wasn't the biggest fan of the mussels either - similar feeling to oysters. My table did a good job with their recipes - i only sampled their's. Then they also made oyster po' boys for the class, but I don't eat mayo (hurts my stomach) so I just ate the delicious baguette Chef C made... so many carbs today. I walked out of class craving the spinach salad sitting in my fridge.
I've figured out who in the class is taking beyond their share of ingredients and why every time we cook some people get screwed - at the very least it's Sutra and Army. For the marsala, neither T nor I had any marsala wine, and there had been plenty in the bottle for the whole class. Luckily, there are kind people at our table, so we always share between each other, even if it means we end up with less than necessary for ourselves. Today, even though we were told to take less than 9 shrimp each, and Sutra somehow had about 20. Even after I pointed out to him that he should put some back so other people had some too, and he did, but apparently after I left he took more again. And Army, well, he sometimes takes other people's ingredients off their stations - and, he sometimes messes up his cooking, so he takes a second set of ingredients when other people haven't even had their first. You're not supposed to try again unless the Chef tells you to since ingredients are portioned out exactly per student.
Um. so. I kind of got in a giant fight with Nemo today. It's going to sound so stupid, and it totally is - he poked me at the end of class and told me I was going to be kitchen manager tomorrow. Which he knew I did not want to do (tomorrow is our final and I don't want the extra stress), so I said no. Twice, because he kept poking me. He walked away huffy and then told a couple people I wouldn't do it. Then when we were walking out in a group (regulars plus Whiskey since I now give him a ride home), he brought it up again. And, very loudly, I told him to stop making such a big deal about it already, which led to a back and forth shouting about who was making it a bigger deal, and then somehow he brought up how I had told 'people' about something from Friday, which I had not done, and I pointed out that he was the one actually telling people who weren't there... why we were shouting, I really had no idea. I'm not good at backing down when I think someone is being obstinate or saying something untrue about me (which is exactly when i should shut my mouth, since nothing is gained from an argument with someone like that). Possibly, he's frustrated with me because I haven't been as buddy-buddy to him this week as I usually am (I hang out a lot with Rico now); I have, actually, been a little sharp to him, but there's no specific reason so I can't explain it away to him...
Lessons learned:
Oysters live at the points where fresh water and salt water meet, and filter the water. This is why the juice in the shell is perfectly seasoned, and one can eat oysters raw without any extra seasoning.
The number on shrimp bags (ex. 31/35) is the number of shrimp per pound. So, smaller number means larger shrimp; larger number, smaller shrimp. Now you know for grocery shopping! Don't bother buying farmed shrimp - this is actually really bad for the environment.

Unit sought to track deadbeats
Government can't do job right, parents' group saysBy Patricia Orwen and Dale Brazao
Toronto Star Staff Reporters
Angry spouses trying to collect child support payments are demanding that the Ontario government set up a special investigative unit to track down the most elusive deadbeat parents.
``It's obvious the government can't do the job. . . . It's the biggest deadbeat of all,'' said Renate Diorio, head of the 500-member Families Against Deadbeats.
Diorio's organization is recommending that the government contract a private investigative company for cases similar to that of Mark Suddick.
The Markham man owed Harriet Levesque, his former spouse, and 12-year-old daughter, Valerie, more than $100,000 in support after paying them only $140 in the past eight years.
The province had told Levesque they could not locate Suddick or any of his assets, but The Star tracked him down in less than a week. He has been working for the past year delivering auto parts and averaging about $400 a week.
The 38-year-old father is one of Ontario's 128,000 deadbeat parents who collectively owe $1.2 billion to their former spouses and children. In October, 1998, the Family Responsibility Office forwarded 23,000 of its most hard-to-enforce cases, including Suddick's, to three private collection agencies.
`It's a nightmare. I've called the government countless times, but no one ever does anything.'
- Toronto secretary Irene Stratton
Just $1 million was collected in the first six months of the project, according to a provincial auditor's report.
But using the same information Levesque provided to the ministry, two Star reporters found Suddick living at his parents' Markham home.
The Star investigation also found that Suddick had been living in Florida since 1995, but came back to Canada in January 1999, leaving behind a trail of lawsuits, debts and three warrants for his arrest.
Although the provincial government introduced driver's licence suspensions, jail terms and other measures to crack down on defaulters 2 1/2 years ago, such enforcement measures are not being widely used, Diorio said.
The government's policy manual says enforcement officers have the discretion to suspend a licence at any time, but ministry officials won't comment on why they did not do so in Suddick's case.
Liberal MPP Michael Bryant (St. Paul's) describes the government's licence suspension program as a colossal failure. In the two years since the new enforcement tool came into effect, the government has suspended only 5,130 licences of the 128,000 defaulters.
The numbers should be higher and the penalties for driving under suspension need to be tougher, Bryant said. Currently, anyone who is caught driving under suspension because of failure to pay child support faces a maximum $5,000 fine. Bryant argues that the driver's vehicle should be impounded.
Attorney-General Jim Flaherty admitted to The Star last week that his ministry could do a better job in tracking down defaulters and enforcing the court orders. But that hardly soothes the anger of people who have been contacting The Star.
Irene Stratton, a Toronto secretary, is at her wits' end. She hasn't received court-ordered child support of $750 a month in nearly a year and is owed nearly $30,000, according to ministry records.
But Stratton, 51, blames the province - not her ex-husband - for her situation.
She recently learned that for the past 10 months, Florida's state office of child support enforcement has deducted payments from her ex-spouse's pay, but the deduction has been far less than what was ordered by the Ontario court and she hasn't even received the lower amount.
According to her former husband, who asked not to be identified in this story, he hadn't forwarded the $750 a month and last year he went to a court in Florida, where he now lives, and had his support payments assessed at $100 a month, based on his earnings. The Florida office has taken that from his pay, he said.
Ontario's Family Responsibility Office, which has an agreement with Florida and most other U.S. states to forward court orders and then channel support money to recipients on this side of the border, should be passing that money along to Stratton.
But it isn't doing that and Stratton has exhausted every means to rectify the situation.
``It's a nightmare. I've called the government countless times, but no one ever does anything,'' said Stratton, who struggles to support her 19-year-old son Michael.
After months of being unable to reach anyone who would help her at the Family Responsibility Office, Stratton turned to her MPP, Mike Colle (Eglinton-Lawrence), for help.
That was last October. It appears that even her MPP isn't able to rectify the situation.
``It takes hours and hours of phone calls and we still haven't been able to get any action on this case,'' Colle said last week. ``It's cruel and unusual punishment they are putting people like Irene through. The government knows the problems are there and they put in an automated telephone service to appease people, but that doesn't solve the problems.''
Meanwhile, Suddick has been served with a subpoena for a default hearing on March 2. He is wanted in Florida on forgery charges. He left the state with six judgments against him and three warrants for his arrest.
Suddick, who had not had any contact with his ex-wife and daughter for more than six years, phoned his former wife last week. She says he blamed her for his predicament.
``He tried to lay a real guilt trip on me,'' Harriet Levesque told The Star. Suddick said he has no money to give her and that he has had to rely on welfare and food banks at times.
He made no mention of the five years he lived in his parents' Florida home, which backs on to an exclusive golf club.
He blamed Levesque for soiling his parents' reputation by going public with her case against him, and said he missed his daughter.

Motorola Droid X :: Music Player Freezing/crashing PhoneSep 24, 2010
Recently when I use the stock/default music player, when I try to pause or stop it, it keeps playing. If I press the hard home key, it will go to the home screen but the music will keep playing even if I press pause. If I am still in the music player app and press the back button, it goes to a black screen and keeps playing. Today I tried to shut down my phone to get it to stop and it kept playing for a couple minutes and took much longer than usual for the phone to shut down.
Do I just have to use a different music player? Is the default one really buggy or something? Not sure if it has anything to do with it but I only noticed it after I updated to 2.2.

Country Music Hall of Fame member and UMG Nashville artist George Strait became the first music artist in history, regardless of genre, to place 60 songs at the top of the charts when Mediabase named "Give It All We Got Tonight" as this week's most played song on country radio. The song is the first single from Strait's new album Love Is Everything, which released last week. "Give It All We Got Tonight" was written by Mark Bright, Tim James and Phil O'Donnell.
"I didn't realize we were making history — I just hoped we were putting out music that my fans would enjoy," said Strait. "As always, I'm thankful to the fans and country radio for their support on all 60 of these number one songs as well as my entire career. They are the ones who made this happen."
Strait fans, radio stations and several country artists joined the "Sixty For Sixty" movement to help Strait earn his 60th No. 1 single, while he was 60 years old. It came down to the wire, as Strait turned 61 over the weekend (on Saturday, May 18).
"The amount of support shown by fans, industry and especially country radio to give George his 60th No. 1 single is the ultimate testament in a format that has been defined by his music," said Royce Risser, Sr. VP, Promotion for Universal Music Group Nashville. "No one is more deserving of this accomplishment than George Strait, the undeniable King of Country Music. Happy Birthday George!"
Watch Brad Paisley, Vince Gill, Lee Ann Womack, Gary Allan, Lady Antebellum's Charles Kelly and Hillary Scott and others congratulate Strait on his 60th No. 1 song.

When is horror not horror?
When it is a horror writer's pleasure.
Your nightmares are born from a caffine driven euphoria of fiction where words fall from fingertips to take the many shapes that can haunt readers long after they've closed the book. When you write to them and tell them how you couldn't get to sleep, they smile for a job well done. When you blog about how a particular chapter made your skin crawl, it feeds the newborn creatures that stir in the back of the writer's mind waiting to take shape. Make no mistake, they love what they do and what it does to you. It begs the question: was it good for you?
Australian Shadows Award Nominations for Short Fictiom
Kaaron Warren lives in Canberra, with her husband and two children. They are recently returned from Fiji where they spent three years in the diplomatic corp. Her short story collection The Grinding House, CSFG Publishing (published as The Glass Woman by Prime Books in the US) won the ACT Writers' and Publishers' Fiction Award and was nominated for three Ditmar Awards, winning two. Karron also has the distinction of being nominated in both the Long and Short Fiction caragories.
Kaaron has three novels with Angry Robot Books. The critically acclaimed Slights was nominated for an Aurealis Award and made the long list for the British Fantasy Awards and the preliminary ballot for the Stoker Awards. Her award winning short story A Positive had been made into a short film by Bearcage Productions.
Gaze Dogs of Nine Waterfall was inspired by a terrifying dog I saw in a market in Lami, Fiji. He was arrogant like a handsome man in a bar full of women he thinks he's better than. He had massive genitals. And I swear he looked me in the eye. I had to write a story about him.
Andrew McKiernan is an author and illustrator living and working on the Central Coast of New South Wales. He has been writing and drawing since a very young age, mainly due to him being athletically incompetent at just about any sport he attempts but quite adept at twirling a pencil between his fingers (that isn't a sport, is it?). He has variously been; a retailer, a musician, a storeman, a purchasing/logistic manager, a fast-food delivery driver, a bookseller, a trainee paper salesman, a web developer, an occultist and a graphic designer.
Andrew first short story, Calliope: A Steam Romance, was published in the Shadow Plays anthology in 2007 and included on a number of Australian Years' Best short-lists. Since then his twisted tales of darkness have appeared in Aurealis Magazine, the Black Box e-anthology, CSFG's Masques anthology and In Bad Dreams 2: Where Death Stalks.
The Message is a story of broken marriages, lost childhood, and the subtle art of taking phone messages. The inspiration for the tale came from a news report following the Indonesian Tsunami of 2004 about a pay-phone in a small general store that began ringing night and day with messages from those who'd drowned in the tsunami to be passed on to their loved ones. The Message has been shortlisted for an Aurealis Award and now an Australian Shadows Award.
Andrew is currently writing more short stories set in the Clowntown universe first hinted at in Calliope: A Steam Romance and The Dumbshow, with All the Clowns in Clowntown slated to appear in Macabre: A Journey Through Australian Horror in late 2010. He's also settling down to complete his first novel – a dark satire on the insidious effect the Self Help industry has had on publishing and world religion.
Deborah Biancotti can take pride that she's earned a nomination in two catagories this year, adding a Short Fiction nod to her Long Fiction nomination for her collection Book of Endings.
Six Suicides is a six-part mini story suite written with the idea that how we live is how we die. And how we live is through our relationships (or, in the story's parlance, our connections), which we pretty much almost always screw up. Cheery, aren't I?
Jason Fischer is based in Adelaide, South Australia. He attended Clarion South in 2007, was shortlisted in the 2009 Ditmar Awards for Best New Talent, and is a recent Winner of the Writers of the Future contest. He has stories in Dreaming Again, Apex, Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine, and Aurealis Magazine. His new zombie-apocalypse novella After the World: Gravesend can now be purchased in Australian newsagents and online. He maintains a blog at Live Journal.
My short-listed story for this year's Shadows Award (Busking – Midnight Echo #3) was also the winner of the 2009 AHWA Short Story Competition. It is based very loosely on actual buskers who frequent Adelaide's Rundle Mall, albeit catapulted into an apocalyptic situation, forced to continue performing in the face of certain death…
Following the original AHWA prize, several Adelaide buskers found themselves mysteriously donated to by a grateful local author.
Felicity Dowker is an Australian author of dark fiction. Felicity has won the Ditmar and Chronos Awards for her writing, and been shortlisted for the Aurealis and Australian Shadows awards. In between juggling writing, a full-time job in the finance sector, a husband, and two young children, Felicity also reviews for the Specusphere, works as part of the Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine Publishing Cooperative, and is a committee member of the Australian Horror Writers Association. Felicity is currently working on a number of short story projects as well as her first novel. Felicity is also permanently on the brink of exhaustion and complete nervous breakdown…
The Emancipated Dance is a story I'm especially fond of. It's quite different to my usual style – if, in fact, I even have a usual style (I feel a bit wanky and presumptuous claiming that I do, at this embarrassingly early stage in my fledgeling writing career). The piece is heavy on the imagery and a little abstract, and it's proudly and provocatively feminist. It came to me when I was pondering masks in relation to another project I was involved with at the time. I really wanted to draw on my feminism and in so doing create something meaningful that I could be passionate about, so I related the masks theme back to the place of women in contemporary society – in a global sense, because there is patriarchy and oppression of women everywhere – and then I got down and dirty with my bad ol' horror self and covered the ideas I was playing with in blood. And that wasn't hard to do. Every struggle for basic human rights and freedom from oppression is already bathed in blood, after all.
Best of luck to all of the nominees as the hours tick down to today's announcement.

Continuing from yesterday, I decided to write what happened next, thanks to the mix-up with Aria's unwelcome match. I have to admit, this scene is one I'm looking forward to writing for real someday. It'll be wonderful to get to it, and know all the major conflicts are over for them. That doesn't mean there lives are perfect, mind you, but the problems after this are mostly doable. Mostly.
Anyway, as to be expected, having Sokola there added an extra layer of fin to this scene, and fixed a couple of problems Wren encounters in the real version. Specifically, making sure they get home while Mama's reconnecting with Daddy. *wink wink* Enjoy the story, everyone! And I look forward to seeing you the last 2 days of the week.

text: Just picked up bahco knife, how good is the steel in these knives, what I mean is do you sharpen them razor sharp enough to cut a blow flies eyesight at 20 yards or just sharp....that is,is the steel good enough to hold a really sharp edge skinning/dressing an animal or will nicking a bone or a bit of mud on the hide take the edge off straight away. I've had some knives that lasted better if not overly sharpened. Appreciate your thoughts and experiences. Cheers Steve

Frequently Asked Questions
Last year we ran a small Kickstarter and created a small line of boutique miniatures. These are now what we consider the "young" versions of the heroes. The Kickstarter did well and we created 2 extra characters through stretch goals, Jon the chameleon bard and Rayna the kangaroo dragoon. We wanted to let everyone who missed out of the first Kickstarter to get these characters in the same bundled price as the first Kickstarter. These characters will now also come with alternate playable hero cards with different stats and abilities than the characters in the core game.
**Edit: Due to popular demand, we are looking into producing Jon and Rayna in plastic. This will require stretch goal funding to make it happen. We will update everyone when we plan on revealing said stretch goals.Last updated:
The campaign of Barnacle Bay is a "Choose Your Own Adventure" campaign with 24 scenarios to play (originally it was 22 scenarios, but we've unlocked two more mini-boss scenarios via stretch goals!). After defeating the first intro scenario players get to keep all of their new treasure and then have 3 choices of which level 1 scenario they move onto. After that scenario players then have 3 choices of another level 1 scenario to move onto. After defeating 2 level 1 scenarios they then enter a boss fight scenario. After defeating 2 level 1 scenarios and a boss fight they are now further into the town of Barnacle Bay and begin the same process for level 2 scenarios. Level 2 scenarios will have a new level 2 treasure deck and the enemies stats and abilities have changed. After 2 level 2 scenarios and a boss fight scenario the heroes then get to level 3 of Barnacle Bay. Level 3 also features a level 3 item deck and new stats and abilities for the enemies. After defeating 2 level 3 scenarios you will move to the final showdown against Elder Bane! Players will be able to play a full campaign three times before playing all the scenarios in the game.Last updated:
We are planning to have a downloadable PDF or Document file of the rulebook translated into other languages as a free download online.Last updated:
If you wish to add the additional purchases to your core pledge, all you have to do is add the amount of the add ons you wish to buy to your Wanderer's Pledge. This will give a credit to your pledge manager. :)Last updated:
We would love to be able to offer t-shirts to the Kickstarter campaign but unfortunately doing shirts via Kickstarter is a NIGHTMARE! One reason is dealing with all the different shirt sizes and the second even bigger reason is t-shirts would need to be produced by a different manufacturer and then we would have to manage all the different shirt sizes getting sent from one manufacturer to a second and then to our shipping hub. We do plan on making shirts for sale in the future but unfortunately doing it through the Kickstarter is not an option.Last updated:
The extra tile pack is a set of duplicate tiles for the base game. This pack is intended for people who wish to design their own scenarios and would like to have more tiles to create even larger scenarios. :)Last updated:
The High Tide expansion is an enemy expansion to add to the core game. It comes with 8 32mm Bloat Rats and 8 42MM Garmadillos, spawn cards, enemy stat cards, and initiative cards. Both enemies have unique mechanics that will greatly change the dynamic of your encounters.
Bloat Rats
The bloat rats are puffer fish / rat hybrids that charge towards the heroes and will explode causing poison to all nearby heroes.
The garmadillos are Gar / Armadillos hybrids that block line of site to all enemies behind their mighty shields. Players will have to take out the garmadillos before they can snipe down any enemies behind these beasts.Last updated:
While we do have the rules written up, we are still editing them to be sure they are written to describe the rules of the game the best way possible. We have all bought a game that had poorly written rules that made the experience of learning the game very tedious. We want to be sure that everything is cleaned up and organized to the best of our abilities before we release them to the public. Currently we have the rules drafted in a beta-format for backers to view. It is still being actively edited, so there will be grammatical errors and missing diagrams.
Here's the link to the rulebook:

While adding funds for add-ons does help the campaign reach new stretch goals, you may wait until the pledge manager to purchase your additional add-ons. If you have only pledged $1 you will gain access to the pledge manager but will need to purchase the $90 pledge level before being able to add additional purchases to your pledge.Last updated:

Preparing and Building Images
The last two days have been spent preparing our images and building our Mac server. We've had two practice runs with this so I guess this is the final show. For full details have a look at the earlier two blog entries I have kept of the post production or development environments.
One of my concerns now is that I don't really want to install Windows on every Mac. Originally I had thought it would be great to have dual boot systems although I am concerned now that this prolongs the life of Windows within our school. I feel now that a Windows machine should be a Windows machine and a Mac machine should be a Mac machine however where necessary I shall dual boot only where necessary rather than install two computers on a desk.
What Software do you use and do you have any recommendations? I currently have the following.
Apple Mac: iWorks Suite, iLife Suite, Adobe Web Suite, OpenOffice, Firefox, VLC, Cord, Burn, Google sketch-up, Google Earth, Flip for Mac, Perian, Clickview, MuseScore on my initial Mac image.
Windows: Office 2007,Clickview, Foxit Reader, Adobe Web Suite, Adobe Reader, Image Burn, Firefox, PDF Creater, VLC, 7-Zip, Audacity, Numbers Up 1 and 2, Readme, Paint.NET, Typing Tournament, Photostory 3, Tux Racer, Tux Paint, MuseScore, Logger Pro, Open Office, Queensland Fonts, et al. I have other CAD Products on some of our images but for the most part, the above is what I have installed on our basic image.

Transforming Chaputz: T'ashii Dug-out Canoe Tour – Saturday, September 8th, 2018
September 8, 2018 @ 10:30 AM - 2:30 PM$89
Transforming Chaputz: T'ashii Dug-out Canoe Tour
Join the cultural outdoor guides at T'ashii Paddle School for a journey on the inside waters of Clayoquot Sound and a guided walk through the ancient forest on Wanachis-Hilth-huu-is (aka Meares Island). You will learn about how the resurgence of carving canoes has transformed our local communities by instilling respect for Natural Law in our young people. The čapac (or traditional dug-out canoe) is a vehicle for coming together in a good way, for healing, and for gaining a better understanding of the interconnection of all life in our homelands.
Guests should be prepared for paddling and an uneven forest trail over roots and small logs. Bring a bag lunch and lots of water. The West Coast weather can be unpredictable, come prepared for rain or shine.
This is a partnership project with T'ashii Paddle School.
Tsimka Martin: Co-owner, and canoe enthusiast, Tsimka is a Tla-o-qui-aht woman who grew up in her Nations' territory (the southern end of Clayoquot Sound including Tofino). Tsimka was introduced to canoeing at a young age. Her father Joe Martin and older sister Gisele Martin were both key in her entry to the activity. Some distinct memories include paddling through thick fog as a kid and then a teen with her dad. Tsimka has a keen desire to let travellers to Tla-o-qui-aht territory know where they are and why it is special. She enjoys viewing and participating in creative performance arts and music.
Terrell Lamb: is a young Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation Canoe and SUP guide with a wealth of knowledge of this land, its people and their rich history. Wise beyond his years, Terrell is a Tribal Park Ambassador and has been on several Inter tribal Canoe journeys. Terrell looks forward to sharing stories and paddling skills with his guests, whichever craft they choose. Terrell loves Kombucha, baked goods and Tofino Roasting Company Coffee.
Thomas Zarelli: has been immersed in Nuu-chah-nulth culture his whole life. As one of our canoe guides and SUP instructors, he is always happy to share some of his wisdom about his home and his people. Thomas is a great story-teller, with a special sense of humour. Ask him about the story of "Richard". Thomas has a beautiful voice, and has been in the singing circle since he was old enough to talk. If you ask nicely, he might just share a traditional song with you. Thomas likes pizza, noodles and frybread.

An unidentified Oregon man is hospitalized in critical condition with what doctors believe is Oregon's fifth case of plague in the last 15 years, according to a report in The Oregonian. The rural Crook County man was bitten on the hand on Saturday, June 2 as he tried to take a struggling mouse away from a neighborhood cat. He fell ill several days later and was admitted to St. Charles Medical Center-Bend in Bend, OR. It's not clear which animal bit the man or gave him the disease.
Even in our modern highly technological times we sometimes are confronted with ancient nemesis we struggle to deal with. This is all the more reason to keep our health care system well-funded, highly functioning, and with a safety net intact. Imagine what could happen if someone with a virulent, contagious disease like the plague could not get medical help and instead inadvertently spread the disease.
Plague is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis and manifests in the bodies of its victims in three ways (pdf). The Oregon man was admitted to the hospital with fever and classic signs of bubonic plague, so named for the painful, pus-filled black boils or "buboes" that swell and sometimes burst at the neck, groin and armpits. These lesions form when the patient's lymph nodes expand out of control, filling with dead bacteria and spent white blood cells, the debris from a fierce battle being waged in the bloodstream.
As of Tuesday, however, the victim's illness was trending more toward septicemic plague, a manifestation of the disease wherein Yersinia attacks the circulatory system, causing severe abdominal pain, bleeding from the nose, mouth and rectum, high fever and tissue necrosis. The deadliest but least common form of plague is pneumonic plague, which invades the lungs and drowns the patient in the fluids that result from their body's attempt to fight off the illness.
Plague is treatable with modern antibiotics, but is so virulent and damaging to the body's systems that it's important to diagnose and treat the disease early. The so-called "Black Death" killed more than a third of the population of Europe in the Middle Ages. It's rare today, although it has never been entirely eliminated.
Oregon has seen four plague deaths since 1934, all in rural areas. The disease spreads through the bites of fleas that have fed on the blood of infected rodents. Once entrenched in a victim's system, however, plague can be passed from human to human by way of contact with bodily fluids.
Crook County Health Department spokesperson Karen Yeargain told the Oregonian that tests to determine whether the man has contracted plague are still pending, but his symptoms are strongly indicative of the disease. A plague vaccine exists, but it went off the market in the U.S. when cases dropped in the mid twentieth century.
Let's all work towards insuring our medical system can meet any challenge.
