Explore a traditional old town near Tokyo
Having just arrived in Tokyo I was looking for a tour that would deviate from the usual, and I would get to see another side of Japan. Shumi's tour began with an easy pick up in the morning and then a 2 hour drive out to Ibaraki with some nice stops along the way and a chance to a explore beautiful old town. The indigo dye was fascintating - an old tradition in Ibaraki. We were able to dye our own cloth and keep it as a souvenir. Shumi had arranged a fantastic lunch and afterwards to an old sake brewery, and one of the most important in the area. I see sake in a different light now after the brewery tour, and the tasting of a variety of sakes. The tour of Ibaraki ended with a visit to a beautiful hilltop shrine that overlooked Ibaraki and, in the distance, Tokyo. With a sunset that enhanced all kinds of love feelings for Japan it was a great way to finish the tour with Shumi. He's a wonderful guide! A local with a passion for the area. I would recommend to anyone.

Truckers are rarely, if ever, hired directly by ADOT. Instead, they tend to be hired by prime contractors and subcontractors, either as owner-operators or as subcontractors or tier-subcontractors (meaning subcontracted to the subcontractor).
This section is designed to lead you through the process of preparing a bid as a trucker. It addresses different aspects of this process, including
It can sometimes be difficult to break into construction as a trucker, especially as an owner-operator. Building relationships with construction contractors is very important, since ADOT does not contract directly with truckers. It's important for truckers to regularly market their services because established contractors often have a set of truckers they frequently use.
Attending ADOT sponsored pre-bid meetings, outreach and networking events may be helpful in establishing relationships with prime and subcontractors — See the DBE/Small Business Assistance page for more information about these events sponsored by ADOT's Business Engagement and Compliance Office specifically for DBEs and small businesses.
Getting to know fellow truckers is another important way to get business. Prime contractors for large projects often need to hire many truckers and it is common for several smaller trucking firms to work together to fulfill their needs. If you have a good relationship with other truckers in the area, they may invite you to work with them on occasion. You may also ask them to work with you in order to bid on larger projects.
Finally, truckers often contract with brokers and dispatchers for work. Freight brokers and trucking dispatchers act as intermediaries between clients and truckers, obtaining trucking jobs and distributing them to trucking companies for a commission.
You must have proper vehicle registration and fuel tax licensing in order to bid on, win, or complete any ADOT projects. You can learn more about those on the Driver Log Books website.
If you operate across state lines, you must get proper authority to do so from the federal government by obtaining an MC number. See the FMCSA website for more information.
Any contract work not performed by the Contractor is considered a subcontract. This means any agreement (such as sublets, purchase orders, rental agreements) by the Contractor to have another company/party etc. perform contract work on the project is technically a subcontract, written consent of this subcontract is needed prior to beginning work and the subcontract needs to include pertinent provisions and requirements of the Contractor's contract.
The Subcontractor Request Form (SRF) is a streamlined online form using DocuSign. This form is used by the contractor and signed by the subcontractor when requesting approval for subcontracts. This form will save time, eliminate excessive paper and ensure the subcontractor receives all the necessary documents. The SRF and instructions are available on the Contractors Information web page.
A trucking company owner-operator is also considered a subcontractor. When seeking to be hired as an owner-operator or a subcontractor, your process for finding work may be similar to that of other construction subcontractors. See the subcontractor page for more information on how to bid as a subcontractor. When seeking to be hired as an owner-operator, you must contact the contractor in question. In that situation, the contractor essentially leases your truck(s) from you and then hires you (and your team) to drive them.
Trucking company owner-operators sign the Subcontract Request Form (SRF) certifying that they are a bona fide owner-operator. It is the prime contractor's responsibility to verify current Commercial Driver's License and valid registration.

Hey Bloggers!
I'm sorry that it has been two weeks since I've updated. It has been busy around here. The dress that I was working on in the last post was finished and sold the next day. It was only on Etsy for 2 hours! A quick sale like that makes for a very happy seamstress. :)
Here is how it turned out:
Since it sold so quickly, I used the same pattern and made another dress that was listed on the 19th and it sold the next day. I changed up the ribbon placement.
Here it how it turned out:
I bought a new pattern, the Heritage Wrap Dress pattern from Liberty Jane. I'm working on leading a Sew Along on AG Dollhouse with it starting on March 1st. Yesterday I finished and listed this dress:
Here is the listing: Spring Green Wrap Top Dress
Now I am working on another Civil War Era dress using a different pattern from the same person that made the pattern I used for the first two dresses.

Sneak peek from the sewing desk
Posting this from my phone to give my readers a sneak peek of the Spring dress I'm working on with Addy in mind. It's a cold day here in SC (finally), so working on a Spring dress is helping me think warming thoughts.
Look for it in my Etsy shop later this week.

We're back, baby!
Happy February! Not just because of Valentine's Day, but because my site and Etsy shop are up and running today as I promised in my last post.
So, in my last post, I listed the goals I wanted to achieve (and continue to achieve) by today. Here is how they have panned out so far:
- Have at least 20 items in stock at all times
- 2/1/12 - I currently have 29 items on hand.
- Take better pictures (I'm getting a new camera for Christmas, so I hope that helps)
- 2/1/12 - The camera I was getting for Christmas hasn't turned up yet. LOL! My mom can't remember where she put it so it never got wrapped or put under the tree. It's okay Mom, I love you anyways. :)
- Take more pictures of each outfit (front, side, side, back, and detail)
- 2/1/12 - Coming along nicely
- Produce and list a new item every other week
- 2/1/12 - So far I'm ahead of schedule
- Advertise more. Here, Facebook, locally, etc.
- 2/1/12 - Still a work in progress. But my fan page has gained some more fans during my down time.
- Revamp my website
- 2/1/12 - It's done! My hubby/webmaster rocks! Check out my site here: GomunkCreations.com
I've tried to make sure I've continued to have a nice assortment of modern and historical items. I'm also back to taking special orders since my schedule now allows for it (or at least until the kids get out of school for the summer).
During the 6 weeks I had the shop closed has been a mixed blessing. I've enjoyed taking my time at my sewing machine and completing some projects that had been cast aside while they were in the process. I've stopped scrapbooking at home (for now) which means that my sewing machine is always on my desk.
Last week I forced myself to clean up my fabric stash. Most of it was boxed up according to color, but when I ran out of boxes, I just washed/dried/folded the new fabrics and stacked them in my fabric closet. So, I cleared out both fabric closets, sorted the orphaned fabrics, and put everything back in a nice, neat, and orderly fashion. I knew I had a lot of fabric, but sorting through my stash I realized I have a lot more than I thought. I've got enough to open up my own shop! LOL!
Speaking of opening a shop, here is the link for my Etsy shop!
And after a lot of thought, here is my favorite of the creations I made while the shop was closed:
Thanks to each and every one of you for your support! You guys rock!
Until next time...

Gravity I/II/III
Gravity I: The Challenge
"If you can keep your head while all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you just don't understand the gravity of the situation." A paraphrase of an old, twisted statement that fits this post perfectly. It has bothered me no end that nobody seems to know just what gravity is, and that includes most of the great minds of science, including Albert Einstein. Al spent the last 20 years of his life engrossed in an effort to understand just what gravity is and how it propagates through space. He needed that understanding if he was to integrate the four powers in nature that hold our universe together. These powers are the strong force, the weak force, electromagnetism and, of course, gravity. He failed. Of course his many successes made that failure about as important as a fleabite on a rhinoceros.
In the light of that opening statement, I'm sure that what is to follow will probably cast me as the most arrogant blogger in blogland. For that reason, I have to lead off this post with a disclaimer, painful as it is, that I have no advanced degrees in physics, chemistry, mathematics, astrophysics or even Shiatsu Massage. Never mind 'advanced' degrees, but no degrees at all. Since retiring I have far too much time on my hands, especially late at night when I can't sleep. I find myself thinking about the world and its challenges and problems and searching for answers. Many of the other posts in this blog are the result of those long nights when sleep refuses to come and release me from my mundane world.
One of those challenges is the understanding of the force we call gravity -- what it is, how it works and how it propagates for millions of miles through space. Sir Isaac Newton supposedly developed the concept of gravity while sitting in an orchard watching ripe apples fall from the trees, pulled to the earth (not striking him on the head) by some mysterious force. Until that time apparently nobody had questioned why, when they detatched from the tree branch, apples fell down and didn't remain floating in the air, drifting up into the sky and moving to and fro under the influence of gentle summer breezes.
Now I hasten to assure my readers, if in fact any such exist, that I do not consider myself superior to or even equal to those two, or any other, giants of science. In fact, I do not even consider myself qualified to brush Albert Einstein's runaway hair or make cider from Isaac Newton's apples. It's just that I seem unable to ignore these challenges and instead, perhaps, take up weaving gimp into whistle lanyards or making crude leather wallets. Having made these disclaimers, however, I find I must make an attempt to explain my thoughts about these issues, placing them before you for your perusal. So here we go.
From Whence Comes Gravity?
We do know that gravity seems to be directly connected with, and related to, the mass of objects -- objects like planets, moons and stars. I asked myself what comprised the mass of these objects. The answer seems to be the nuclei of the atoms of the elements. These nuclei, of course, consist of positively charged protons and neutral neutrons. What within these nuclei could be responsible for this strange force? My first thought was the positive charge of the protons that holds the almost massless and incredibly fast-moving negatively charged electrons in orbit around the nucleus. Of course one would expect that the effect of the positive charge emanating from such a tiny piece of matter would not extend beyond the orbit of the electrons. I believe, however, that the charge level of the proton holding the electrons in thrall is slightly higher than that needed to secure the electrons. Not high enough, however, to hold more than one electron per proton, but still slightly more than needed.
If this supposition is true, this slight excess of charge might be able to leak past the orbit of the electron to have an attractive effect on the electrons of other nearby atoms. It's doubful that this 'leakage affect' generated by the single protons of a relatively small number of hydrogen atoms, for instance, would be strong enough to be noticeable. Consider, however, the cumulative leakage from much more complex atoms, like for instance Uranium, with it's hundreds of protons in each nucleus. The cumulative leakage effect of the vast number of protons in a body such as a star, planet or even a moon, could easily affect nearby masses. This begs the question, of course, of how these miniscule charges could possibly affect objects literally millions of miles away, as the outer planets of our system are held in place by the gravity generated by the sun. By this time, of course, you suspect that I have some kind of cockamamie answer for even that question. Your suspicions are correct.
Not So Empty Outer Space
Recently, 'real' scientists have begun to suspect that space is not actually as empty as we have assumed. The concept proferred by them is that space is actually filled to overflowing with the tiniest of subatomic particles which they feel are either flashing into and out of existence or are being spontaneously created and then almost instantly destroyed. Let's assume that something like this is actually happening, with, of course, some modifications.
My naieve and untrained mind has some difficulty grasping a process of continuous creation and destruction of some form of matter or it's alternating states of existence. I'm much more comfortable, however, with the concept that this matter has existed since the beginning of time and, rather than appearing or disappearing, may simply be physically flipping back and forth at an incredible rate, exposing first a positively charged end and then a negatively charged end. This would appear to be matter appearing and disappearing or flashing in and out of existence. It seems reasonable to assume that these particles, if in fact that is what they are, would quickly, after their creation in the big bang, align themselves with positive and negative charges alternatively attracting and repelling each other, into a universe-wide three-dimentional matrix.
The closer to a large attractive body, the stronger would be the attraction of the negative charges to the leaking positive charges of the protons in that body. With it's alternating positive and negative charges this matter could conceivably serve as a conduit for the gravitational forces generated by a large chunk of matter like a star or planet. The closer this 'strange matter' is to the gravitational mass, the stronger the attraction, with the attraction bleeding through into space while creating a gravity-density gradient that can project for many millions of miles through this matter.
When Isaac Newton postulated his theory of gravity he was able to create a brand new field of mathematics to describe it. This new mathematics is called Calculus. In all honesty, I have never studied Calculus and barely made it through Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry. And that was about 100 years ago. In any event, I offer my hypothesis on gravity for examination and likely destruction by wiser heads than mine. In a later post, however, I hope to build upon this hypothesis to offer a possible answer, regardless of how bizarre, of a rationale for the limitation of light speed.
If you are still here reading, I want to thank you sincerely and honor your dogged and, possibly, masochistic nature. Please don't hesitate to comment on this post, hopefully without an excess of profanity.
Gravity II: Light Speed
As the concept of gravity formed in my mind I found that it carried on into other areas. Specifically it seems to have an effect on the speed of light. Light speed has been measured at 186,000 miles per second or 300,000 kilometers per second. So far I haven't seen any statements indicating why this speed is such and how it is maintained over the trillions of miles that light travels through space. One light year, the distance light travels in a year, is stated to be about 6,000,000,000 miles. That's 6 trillion miles. Here on earth we are able to see and record light emanating from stars and galaxies that are billions of light years distant. That's billions of trillions of miles. A long way to walk on a hot day with a pebble in your shoe.
I found myself wondering how the photons, the supposed particles that are in fact light, can possibly travel all that distance at that speed over those billions of years and still have enough energy to register on our eyes and our telescopes. I can't recall anyone else asking that question and certainly not offering an explanation. Well, I'm going to go way, way out on a limb and attempt to answer those questions. If you think I'm being unbelievably arrogant to think I can answer such questions I certainly couldn't blame you.
If you've had the patience to wade through my previous post on gravity you may remember that one of the crucial elements I proposed for the propagation of the gravitational force through space was the supposed existence of some form of subatomic particles that fill space to overflowing and rapidly flip back and forth exposing first a positive and then a negative charge. I hasten to assure the kind reader that these particles are not my construct but have been proposed by real scientists who should know what they are talking about. My concept was that the positive attractive force of the protons in a large mass would attract these particles creating a gravitational gradient that decreased with distance from the gravitational source but still affected other bodies at great distances. Others answers to the action of gravity over great distances include, but are not limited to, gravity passing through a multitude of alternate universes and being carried great distances by them. This is a much more complex concept than the one I have proposed. Very often, simpler is more likely.
Since these particles supposedly fill what we call 'space' light must pass through them to go anywhere. The question, of course is what effect do they have, if any, on photons passing through the matrix created by their presence. Photons or light, are boiled off the surface of stars and ejected from them. We can assume, I believe, that they begin their journey with some velocity and some level of energy. To travel these great distances over such incredibly long times there should be something operating to preserve both their energy and velocity. It is my belief that the subatomic particles, whatever they actually are, perform this task.
First, we must assume that the photons have some charge, positive or negative. As they pass through this particle matrix they will be attracted to the end of particles with unlike charges and repelled by particles with like charges, much as are magnets. What I believe occurs is that as the photons pass through the matrix in space they are attracted momentarily by unlike charges. However, since these particles are continuously flipping back and forth they will then be repelled by the appearance of a like charge. The end result, I believe, is that each particle is alternately attracted and repelled and therefore does not follow a straight path. In addition, this alternating push and pull would maintain the velocity and energy the photon carried when it entered the matrix. The photon follows a sinuous path through the matrix, being alternately attracted and repelled. It's path would resemble what we call a sinusoidal wave through space. With a symmetrical matrix, that I believe would be created, some of the photons would pass through moving up and down and others, probably about half, would move from side to side.
This is significant because of an experiment that has been performed testing the status of light. The question has always existed as to whether light is a particle or a wave. The experiment in question created two very narrow slits in a wall. One slit was vertical and the other horizontal. Light passing through the vertical slit produced a vertical line on a screen behind the wall. Light passing through the horizontal slit, however, produced a horizontal line which created an interference pattern. As I understand it, the conclusion of the experiment was that sometimes light is a particle and sometimes it is a wave. My belief is that light is always and only a particle.
I believe that the differences can be easily explained if the subatomic particle matrix in 'space' is accepted. Quite simply stated, photons that are moving in an up and down sinusoidal manner would easily pass through the vertical slit but not through the horizontal slit. Alternatively, the photons moving in a horizontal sinusoidal manner would easily pass through the horizontal slit but not through the vertical slit. Ergo, light is always a particle but it moves in a wavelike motion through the subatomic-particle matrix in space with its velocity and direction maintained.
This concept could also explain how very-high-energy particles, cast off by supernovae or quasars, can travel at such great velocities while retaining their energy. The combination of size, velocity and energy level would be maintained in the same manner as is that of the photon. This would seem to indicate, however, that the speed of light is not really a barrier except for light itself. A very crude, and really not relevant comparison would be the 'sound barrier'. The only barrier that actually exists is to the speed of sound itself. We now routinely exceed that velocity without any real problems.
In a subsequent post, I will attempt to offer some hope for what we would call 'faster-than-light' travel. I hope you will read on if you aren't busy trying to get me committed for my own safety and that of the scientific world. Until then, keep on shinin'.
Gravity III: Faster Than Light
I've been a science-fiction fan for more years than I'd care to count. But if I was going to count, it would have to be at least 60 years. (I hate reminding myself of how old I actually am.) Our Milky Way galaxy alone is over 100,000 light years in diameter. At the speed of light it would take us well over 25,000 years traveling at 186,000 miles per second just to get to the galactic core. What a haul! There have been so many fictional ways to traverse the incredible distances of the galaxy and the universe. Of course, there's always the warp drive. "Scotty, give me warp 9!" "Captain, I canna do it. She'll tear herself apart. The dilithium crystal matrix is unstable and she'll blow up in our faces!" Ahh, those carefree days of the Next Generation.
These so-called warp drives supposedly operate on the principle of bending or 'warping' space to defeat the light-speed limit. In my estimation, however, there's a small problem with bending space. I don't believe that there is such a physical thing as 'space' that can be bent or warped or whatever. Space, in my humble opinion, does not actually exist as a thing. Space is simply the distance between two locations. Warping a distance, therefore, makes no sense, at least to me in my all-encompassing arrogance. If it were possible, the energy needed to warp the space between, say, two star systems would be absolutely unimaginable. Having said that, however, I think there may, some day, actually be a way for us to travel at velocities exceeding the speed of light.
First, however, I'd like to point out some down to earth techniques that already have and may someday be able to move terrestrial objects at great speeds. Take the Polaris and Trident intercontinental guided missiles that are launched from submerged submarines. When a submerged launch was first attempted, the missile could not be accelerated enough to pass through the water between the submarine and the air outside. Not only did the drag created by the water make it impossible to get the missile into the air, but the intervening sea water raised havoc with the electronics and the solid rocket propellant.
Then someone had a bright idea. A cover was installed atop the missile tube beneath the heavy missile tube cover. The outer cover needed to be strong enough to withstand the water pressure encountered at the operating depths of the submarine, several hundred feet. The inner cover, however, only needed to be strong enough to resist the water pressure at launch depth, which depth is classified but is not too deep. The inner cover is constructed in segments which are held in place by the water pressure when the outer hatch is opened.
Then, when the missile is to be launched, a small rocket motor just outside the missile tube is fired. The output of this rocket fires directly into a container of water. With the intense heat, the water boils instantly, creating a large quantity of steam at a very high pressure. This steam is piped into the launch tube and, almost instantly, blows off the inner hatch and launches the missile through the water. The steam bubbles surround the missile, protecting it from contact with the sea water and propelling it into the air. As the missile stops rising in the air, an accelerometer senses this and fires the rocket motor. Kaboom! Goodbye someplace that used to be nice.
Another similar project is reported to be currently on the drawing boards. In this case a torpedo, powered by a rocket motor rather than a propeller, is launched from a torpedo tube in the sub. As it leaves the tube, a generator internal to the torpedo begins generating large quantities of steam. The steam exits the torpedo through a very large number of perforations in its case. As with the missile, the steam bubbles provide a barrier between the torpedo and the water. It is believed that such a torpedo could conceivably move at speeds up to 600 miles per hour....under water!
And now we return to travelling faster than the speed of light. In Gravity I and II a matrix of subatomic particles were postulated (not by me I hasten to add) filling 'space'. In my concept, these particles were directly involved in the distribution of gravitational energy throughout space. Additionally, it was suggested that they are instrumental in maintaining the velocity of light (photons) over long distances.
I suspect that these particles are the reason that FTL (Faster Than Light) travel is difficult, if not downright impossible. I suspect that when a physical object such as a spacecraft is moving at speeds that are significantly close to light speed these particles will actually create drag, similar to that encountered by aircraft in the air and torpedoes in the water. At our current speeds, this drag is probably totally as insignificant as the drag created by a person walking down the street on a clear windless day.
Although, in my humble opinion, the energy required to warp space (if such were even possible) would probably be in the order of the energy created if several supermassive black holes were to collide. I suspect, however, that at some time in the future we may be able to create some type of force field requiring just a portion of the energy output of a portable fusion generator in a space vehicle. This field would probably act in a similar fashion to the steam bubbles used in the missile and torpedo launches, in that it would radiate outward from the ship and more or less gently move the subatomic particles far enough apart to allow the ship to pass through. At this point, the only limit to speed would be the power needed to push the ship along. It's possible that as the particles moved back into their previous positions they would exert a pressure to the stern, aft, tail of the vessel pushing it along. As a matter of fact, however, it is possible that this could provide all the impetus the ship would need to move at over light speed. Perhaps the further the particles could be moved from the surface of the ship the faster the ship would move without the need for any added injection of energy.
Well, I think this is all I have to say about gravity, light speed and space travel, at least for now. I hope you found at least some of this interesting and I would be very pleased to hear any and all comments from you.
Thank you.

Online Marketing Services
Drive Greater Sales through Targeted Marketing While Enhancing Brand Awareness
Online Marketing, sometimes called Internet Marketing or Online Advertising or Web Advertising, refers to methods, tactics and strategies companies use to drive greater awareness of and communicate its brand, products and service offerings to the public via the Internet. These advertising and marketing efforts could assume various forms, examples of which are: online advertisement banners, Email Marketing, Social Media Marketing (SMM), Search Engine Marketing (SEM), or Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Thus, they complement traditional advertising means such as television, radio, magazines and newspapers.
Mobile is Changing the World!
Internet penetration is increasing globally while technological advancements are driving down prices for tablets, smart phones, and laptops. This makes gadgets especially smart phones essential for daily communications much more affordable, to the extent that their ownership is overtaking that for personal computers in many countries. Meanwhile, a multitude of new apps and social networking platforms are sprouting up every other day. All these translate into a seemingly complex and constantly evolving online media landscape delivered across an expanding array of devices that possess internet connectivity in the emerging era of Internet of Things (IoT).
The increasing importance of mobile devices is evident in the greater significance put on mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal in Google Search as part of Google's algorithm update that started on 21 April 2015. The implications are huge, sparking a "Mobilegeddon" because potentially more than 40% of Fortune 500 websites are affected and only 32 of the FTSE 100 websites use 'responsive' web design according to TechCrunch and The Search Agency UK respectively. Fortunately, Google has provided some guidance with its Mobile-Friendly Test tool and multi-screen guidelines.
Grow Your Business While Navigating the Online Maze
Look around you in your daily commute and interactions. Many of you would agree that more people are carrying smart phones today than ever before and the trend is set to continue. This also means that for many of us, internet access is following us everywhere we go – in our mobile devices. How then could we capitalize on new technologies and platforms as they are being developed to grow our business locally and overseas?
Let Alpha ROI Pte. Ltd. be your compass and navigational guide. We specialize in simplifying complex ideas for actual execution. Today online marketing in Singapore and Asia can take many forms and could be highly targeted too. Do you know it is possible on certain platforms to target bespoke ad messaging at prospective customers living or working within as small a radius as 0.62 mile (1 km) from your business locality? Less tech savvy individuals may find that strategies such as SEO, SEM and SMM can sound foreign, seem complex, and even feel overwhelming. Some may even avoid or procrastinate about investments in online marketing.
We know the first step is always most challenging. When armed with a well designed online marketing strategy, you will appreciate how simple it is for your business to profit from such growth trends. Speak to us now on extending your offline successes online.

Mark Changizi is an evolutionary neurobiologist aiming to grasp the ultimate foundations underlying why we think, feel and see as we do. His research focuses on "why" questions, and he has made important discoveries such as on why we see in color, why we see illusions, why we have forward-facing eyes, why letters are shaped as they are, why the brain is organized as it is, why animals have as many limbs and fingers as they do, why fingers get pruney when wet, where music and speech came from, and why the dictionary is organized as it is.
He attended the Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, and then went on to the University of Virginia for a degree in physics and mathematics, and to the University of Maryland for a PhD in math. In 2002 he won a prestigious Sloan-Swartz Fellowship in Theoretical Neurobiology at Caltech, and in 2007 he became an assistant professor in the Department of Cognitive Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

President JFK Conspiracy & Secret Society Speech
Listen to this incredible audio recording of a speech made by President John Kennedy (JFK) before the American Newspaper Publishers Association where he warns the press about the secret societies that are the real power in global affairs.
Listen for when JFK uses the term "monolithic and ruthless conspiracy". If the term "conspiracy" is good enough for President JFK, it's good enough for everyone to use. Here is the relevant piece:

Reposted from White Roses in Bloom blog ~
I'm being lazy today :-)
If you are reading this blog, chances are, you are a fan of inspirational romance. But all fans are not the same! Fortunately White Rose Publishing has something for everyone. They really do. What? You don't believe me? Then I'll show you.
Let's take best friends Tammy, Becky, Jane and Sandra. (Yes, I am making these people up for the sake of example.) Part of the reason they are friends is that they all love reading and discussing inspirational romance. But they don't always read the same books.
Tammy loves to cuddle up in her favorite chair with her cat on her lap and a historical romance in hand. At White Rose Publishing she'll find titles to choose from such as All or Nothing, Journey to Forgiveness, and Fragile Dreams. All of these are available as print books as well as ebooks. But Tammy is fortunate enough to have an ebook reader so she also enjoys shorter stories she can download such as Dilema of the Heart or Wildflower in Bloom
Becky adores contemporary stories such as Alvarado Gold, Beneath a Texas Sky and Case of the Heart. These are all available in print. But wait. Becky is a cubicle dweller and she really likes short stories that she can read on her computer during her lunch hour. So she might prefer Child of My Heart, By Another Name or Dreams Do Come True.
Jane wants a bit of mystery or suspense thrown in with the romance. She might enjoy Lethal Lasagna, A Matter of Trust or First I'm Nobody. Jane is often on the go. For those times when she's standing in line or stuck in a waiting room she likes shorter stories that she can read on her smart phone. She could choose from titles such as Daniella, Sweet Rest or Through a Glass Darkly.
Sandra is a stay-at-home mom. She doesn't care what kind of romance she reads as long as it fits into her budget. White Rose Publishing offers free reads on their site such as A Perfect Fit, Matchmaker of Love or Review of Love. Sandra joined the White Rose Publishing group on Yahoo to get some of the free "members only" reads there. As an added bonus, she's found a source of adult interaction that she can access without leaving the house! When she runs out of free reads, she'll probably start on the Dollar Downloads. Those include titles such as Cathy's Angel, Hyacinths in Winter, or Turning Back.
This is a just a few titles I pulled out at random. The White Rose catalog is much, much bigger and includes more categories than I listed. Jewel of the Adriatic and Rose of the Adriatic include mystic elements. Isanne's Revelation is a time travel romance. And don't even get my started on the great holiday stories! In my series Orchard Hill Romances, each story centers around a holiday. (See how I just slipped that into the conversation. You almost didn't notice that it was a plug for my own books, right?)
I hope this little post has made you curious. I wish I could have included the blurb for each title, but this would be an enormously long post if I did. I also don't have the patience to add a link to each title, but you can access the White Rose catalog here. If you are not familiar with White Rose Publishing I think you are in for a big treat! Happy Reading!


text: I have a new MacBook Air and it came shipped with a bogus plist (com.apple.batteryd) that had launchd going nuts. Launchd was trying to run /usr/local/libexec/batteryd every 10 seconds, stopping the computer from sleeping and spamming the system log. Edit: For reference, this was what was being spamed in the system log every 10 seconds: Code: 1/13/11 11:09:31 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.batteryd[1114]) Exited with exit code: 1 1/13/11 11:09:31 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.batteryd) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds 1/13/11 11:09:41 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.batteryd[1115]) posix_spawn("/usr/local/libexec/batteryd", ...): No such file or directory So I went into Terminal and typed ' sudo rm "/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.batteryd.plist" ' and everything is as it should be, but I just noticed Apple released a update that's meant to fix this. - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1354 (Which is weird because the update is for 10.6.5 and I was having trouble with 10.6.6). After going through the update files I noticed Apple's method of removing the file was much more complex. Apple's Method for removing com.apple.batteryd.plist: Code: #!/bin/sh if [ -e "$3/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.batteryd.plist" ]; then sudo launchctl unload "$3/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.batteryd.plist" rm -rf "$3/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.batteryd.plist" fi Could just deleting the plist like I did cause any harm?

Christmas Message: Our God Hides
Exodus 19: 21-24
And the Lord said to Moses, "Go down and warn the people, lest they break through to the Lord to look and many of them perish. Also let the priests who come near to the Lord consecrate themselves, lest the Lord break out against them." And Moses said to the Lord, "The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai, for you yourself warned us, saying, 'Set limits around the mountain and consecrate it.'" And the Lord said to him, "Go down, and come up bringing Aaron with you. But do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to the Lord, lest he break out against them."
Exodus 33: 17-23
And the Lord said to Moses, "This very thing that you have spoken I will do, for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name." Moses said, "Please show me your glory." And he said, "I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name 'The Lord.' And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. But," he said, "you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live." And the Lord said, "Behold, there is a place by me where you shall stand on the rock, and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by. Then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen."
Matthew 2: 7-11
Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, "Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship him." After listening to the king, they went on their way. And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
The Heidelburg Disputation, Theses 20
He deserves to be called a theologian, however, who comprehends the visible and manifest things of God seen through suffering and the cross. The manifest and visible things of God are placed in opposition to the invisible, namely, his human nature, weakness, foolishness.
In a positive sense, God hides himself for our benefit. If we were to see him in his full glory "who dwells in unapproachable light", we would suffer the fate that God warned Moses and the Israelites of before Mt. Sinai. God is holiness personified, and so no unclean thing can exist in his Presence without being burnt up as chaff. Hence God prescribed certain limits around the Tabernacle (where God met with Moses) in the Israelites' camp. Outside of the Aaronic priesthood, no one was allowed to "come near to the vessels of the sanctuary or to the altar lest they, and you, die." (Numbers 18: 3) As God warned Aaron, "any outsider who comes near shall be put to death." (Numbers 18:7)
So between God and the Israelites, there was a veil that remained in place emblefied by the Most Holy Place where only the High Priest could go and stand before the mercy seat to offer sacrifices for the sins of Israel.
In the Incarnation of Jesus Christ, the veil between God and man was torn apart. Hiding his deity in human flesh, Jesus made himself approachable for the sake of many unclean sinners in Israel who came to him to receive healing, mercy and forgiveness. Not even Gentiles were barred. At his birth, the Magi from the east came before him to offer gifts and to worship him, signifying a shift in the nature of the priesthood that pointed ahead to the creation of Christ's church at Pentecost. To the weak Christ made himself weak, that "he might gain the weak" (1 Corinthians 9:22), emptying himself of his glory, and being "found in human form" (Phillippians 2:8), where he could dwell with men and make the mystery of the gospel "hidden for ages and generations", and God the Father known to us (Colossians 1:26):
John 1: 18
No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known.
John 14: 7- 11
"If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him."
Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us." Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.
Two thousand years removed from encountering Jesus in human form, we still meet with him today physically in bread and wine each Sunday. Coming down from heaven, as with the Incarnation, "the bread of God" still dwells in the presence of sinners today and gives life to us, touching unclean lips with his body and blood that alone is the way of our salvation.
In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Found it! The 1:7500 print I took from MAGIC helped! Basically, go up the path by the side of the house, and continue until you get to another gate. Go through this gate. On the right is a smallish enclosed field. The hut circles (as far as I could see) are in the next field beyond this. Stay on the path.
The hedge on the right eventually opens up to an area of bracken and gorse. There was a trodden path through this that I followed, that led directkly to a large upright stone, hidden in the far hedge.
Take care, as the disused quarry starts in the adjoining 'field', and may be the various stones that purejoy found.

Castallack Carn Menhir - 23.12.2002
SW4474/2537 (8 digit reference taken from Ian McNeil Cooke's book)
I couldn't find this despite being in the right area. As you come into the hamlet of Castallack you can just about park just before the road turns sharply to the right. The bridleway up to Castallack Carn is poorly marked. I got the feeling that house next to it wants to 'own' it (or disown it!). Look for the modern wooden gate. This is the rather posh entrance to the bridleway (as if you're going into someone's back garden or driveway). I didn't have the grid reference at the time and was merely following the map. It was hard to see exactly where it would be on the map and thus it was hard to know exact where to look. I looked in the fields I could, which was not always easy as the bridleway is often sandwiched between 2 fields with trees and brambles on each side. Once at the top there were many huge quartzy stones in some serious gorse and bracken but nothing to suggest it was a (the) menhir.
In Ian McNeil Cooke's 'Standing Stones of the Land's End' (1998 - Men-an-Tol Studio) he says that it's 1.8m tall and "stands in an overgrown area close to the footpath West of the Iron Age round".
With the exact grid ref and the dusk not falling so fast, maybe someone can find it (or me next time I'm down that way!).

Absolutely! Looks amazing even on 1080p monitor.
If you want higher quality, watch the 4k version. Looks incredible on my 1200p monitor. If you don't care about a small loss of bit rate, then stick with the 1080p version. There's no wrong way of doing it.
Thanks for sharing! :)
But thanks for putting 1080p too.

The Dangers of Over-Posting
It is very easy for a developer to use classes generated by their ORM of choice (such as Entity Framework) as data models in an ASP MVC application. The reasons for doing so are straightforward. If we didn't reuse the classes, we would have to remake them. Creating a second class with essentially properties of the first class seems to defeat the purpose of code re-use. As developers we're trained to the point of rote to not like such patterns. They create extra work and inefficiency.

- The Anaphora of the 12 Apostles (St Mor Luke the Evangelist)
- The Anaphora of the 12 Apostles
- The Anaphora of Mor Eustathius Bishop of Antioch
According to the notes, the third Anaphora is simply taken from the 1922 Missal. This 1922 Missal included Latinisations, where the words of Institution for each Anaphora was in the Roman formula.
The First Anaphora - 12 Apostles (St Mor Luke the Evangelist)
The first Anaphora was previously published in the 1922 Missal by Ignatius Ephrem II Rahmani, however the version in the 1978 Missal is different. The version in the 1978 missal has been adapted from Anaphorae Syriacae by Fr Alfons Raes published in Rome in 1940. This publication contains the version of this Anaphora as it appears in the 10th century. However, it is not all good news. Some parts of the Anaphora have been modified (for the worse), the most notable is the removal of the petitions after the Epiclesis (from the third to the sixth petition).
I have not found this Anaphora published in my Syriac Orthodox Resources, so I was unable to make a comparison.
The Second Anaphora - 12 Apostles
The second Anaphora has never been published by the Syriac Catholic Church and is from the 12th century as it appears in the publication by Fr Raes. There seems to be a few trivial changes here and there, most notably in the Words of Institution for the Blood rather than the priest saying This is my blood he says This is the chalice of my blood the justification listed was 1 Corinthians 11:20 and Luke 22:20. Nevertheless the prayers said by the Priest in this Anaphora seem to be the ones that closest resemble the original.
I made a comparison between this Anaphora and the Syriac Orthodox version. It seems that indeed the word chalice has been added to the Syriac Catholic version. Another interesting difference seems to be the Epiclesis for the blood. Where the Syriac Orthodox version has
And the mixture in this cup to the Blood +++ of Christ our GodThe Syriac Catholic Version has an additional word "ܕܝܠܗ" (his) after the word "ܕܡܐ" (Blood). So the meaning of the whole Epiclesis changes to:
And the mixture in this cup to His Blood ++ of Christ our GodNow the Syriac Catholic Missal does not state whether this word was added in the missal, so there is a discrepancy. Nevertheless I have two theories:
- That the word "ܕܝܠܗ" was added (before the 12th century) and the Syriac Orthodox Church removed it to make it consistent with other Anaphorae.
- That the Syriac Catholic Church simply added it to the missal without mentioning anything in the notes. I would need to see Anaphorae Syriacae to double check this.
It seems the result of this Missal is a case of a few steps back but a few more steps forward. I suspect the late Patriarch Ignatius Anthony Hayek could see the neo-Latinisations occurring in the Syriac Catholic world and wanted to put and end to it. Unfortunately the reality is that his Priests and Bishops refused to follow the instructions (blogged about previously) and now we are left with Liturgies which our late Patriarch feared.
Please pray for the restoration of our traditions.
Through the prayers of the Birth-Giver of God Maryam and Mor Ephrem. God Bless you all.

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires federal agencies
to consider and disclose the potential effects of their actions and decisions
on the environment. Recently, the White House Council on Environmental Quality
(CEQ) released revised draft guidance that describes how federal departments
and agencies should consider the effects of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and
climate change in their NEPA reviews. The document supersedes draft GHG and
climate change guidance released by CEQ in February 2010.
The revised guidance explains that agencies should consider both the
potential effects of a proposed action on climate change, as indicated by its
estimated GHG emissions, and the implications of climate change for the
environmental effects of a proposed action. The guidance emphasizes that agency
analyses should be commensurate with projected greenhouse gas emissions and
climate impacts, and should employ appropriate quantitative or qualitative
analytical methods. It recommends that agencies consider 25,000 metric tons of
carbon dioxide equivalent emissions on an annual basis as a reference point
below which a quantitative analysis of GHG emissions is not required unless it
is easily accomplished using available tools and data.
Unlike the 2010 draft guidance, the revised draft guidance applies to
all proposed federal agency actions, including land and resource management
actions. The draft guidance notes that "it is important to recognize that land
management practices such as prescribed burning, timber stand improvements,
fuel load reductions, scheduled harvesting, and grazing land management can
result in both carbon emissions and carbon sequestration." It recommends that
NEPA analyses include "a comparison of net GHG emissions and carbon stock
changes that would occur with and without implementation of the anticipated
vegetation management practice."
CEQ is soliciting public comment on this revised draft guidance for 60
days. More information about the draft guidance is available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/ceq/initiatives/nepa/ghg-guidance.

Book Reviewed: Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, by Mary Roach
I've been reading almost nothing but difficult contemporary poetry and fluffy historical romances lately, so it seemed necessary that I read something completely different from those two things. Which is how I ended up reading Mary Roach's Stiff, a book about what happens to human cadavers donated to science. I really like Mary Roach and her writing. Packing for Mars is one of my favorite nonfiction books. She writes about science in a way that is approachable, interesting, and funny. Even though the subject matter of Stiff is a little gross, I figured it'd at least be a good time.
Which, of course, it was. The book is fascinating, looking at the different ways human bodies are used for research. There are also chapters about organ donation and body disposal, which sounds disturbing but is actually quite thought-provoking. Best of all, Roach fills the book with lots of weird historical anecdotes. Often, the anecdotes sent me down my own research paths, including reading interviews with a woman named Karen Greenlee, a famous necrophiliac who ran off with a dead man in 1979. These stories bring the book's subjects into a more human perspective, letting the reader laugh or gasp in equal measure. Stiff manages to expose a lot about death without ever seeming morbid or exploitative.
My favorite chapter was "Crimes of Anatomy," which is about the way scientists have acquired human cadavers throughout history. If there is one term in this world I love, it's "resurrectionist," the name given to body snatchers throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. I was less impressed by "Holy Cadaver," which is too short and skeptical (a complaint I once leved against Roach's Spook) to make any kind of real impact. Despite this one misstep, I think the book is quite good overall, although I'm not sure I like it as much as I liked Packing for Mars.

|• Healthy breakfasts • Touristy travels • A dinner mash-up • Collage notebooks • Park walks •
It's that time of the week where I round up the escapades from the past seven days into five collective pictures.
Healthy breakfasts • Instagram is somewhere I love to eye up recipes and creations other bloggers have created, that look and probably taste as amazing. I've been seeing a lot of healthy variations featuring every seed and health supplement you can think of, which makes me think about my own health and ways I can make a conscious lifestyle change for the better. A more detailed post is coming up on this specific breakfast bowl, and lets just say I like being healthy! (shock horror, I know!)
Touristy travels • I'm sure I've mentioned this before but I've been living in London all my life yet I have never seen certain parts of it. I was recently in Wembley and it's the side of London that is very clean and modern yet there are parts of it that are quiet and calm too. The London designer outlet was a place I was dying to shop in but unfortunately I ran out of time to grab any bargains. It offers the same experience as Bicester village but is accessible by public transport so another successful trip up there might be on the cards seen as bicester is a bit too far for my liking.
A dinner mash-up • Dinner is a meal that I'm always getting bored of. It goes against the 'being healthy' route I want to go in because by that time of day I literally just want to whack frozen fish fingers into the oven and munch. I really need to get into the habit of pre-preparing healthier meals for dinner so I can be more serious about the healthy phase.
Collage notebooks • I posted a picture of my new collage notebook on my Instagram to share with you guys because I was so excited by the result. More so for the fact that I hadn't done anything arts and crafts related in about 5 years, so it rekindled my love for being creative. I'm going to be using it for my new University agenda for the year and I'm excited to get started with my note taking for the course I'm beginning next week.
Park walks • Playing in parks are one of my favourite childhood memories and I still like taking my cousins to the park occasionally so they can experience the fun times I had as a child playing on the swings and slides. Saying that parks have pretty much gone super sized and my nan's local park now features a zip-line 'ride' and a trampoline! I feel like a big kid when I'm there!
So that rounds up last weeks frolicking, how was your week?

text: BC will be the economic star this year says Conference Board British Columbia is set to shine this year with economic growth higher than previously forecast. The Conference Board of Canada has upgraded its prediction for growth in the province to 3 per cent; last fall it suggested 2.6 per cent. The weaker loonie coupled with a stronger US economy is driving the growth the board says. The report predicts that the housing market in BC will remain strong, despite uncertainty over the potential liquefied natural gas industry. Prices for homes are likely to continue to edge higher along with activity in new and existing home sales. The Conference Board is predicting that most other housing markets will see slower growth this year. For the economy as a whole its winter outlook suggests growth of 1.9 per cent nationally, down from 2.4 per cent last year mainly due to the impact of lower oil prices in some provinces. It expects the Bank of Canada to keep interest rates low through this year with any increase coming in 2016. Leave a comment SHARE
