This time I decided to break recent tradition and head south down to the Tararua Range rather than sideways (North-East-ish) to the Ruahine Range. Whilst I love the Ruahine Range, it was time to change it up a little bit. Field Hut and Table Top was a track I was going to tackle with Ma. Until she saw the elevation profile. We did Coppermine Creek instead.
I haven't hiked in the Tararuas before so it was somewhere new and a bit different. Even though my new camera hadn't arrived yet (I am still a wee bit bitter in case you weren't sure) I packed my borrowed camera and set out for the day. South. Not North(ish). Woah!
Quick Stats
Hike Stats
Access Otaki Forks is where you want to start this hike. You can find Otaki Forks in… Otaki, halfway between Palmerston North and Wellington. Head down Otaki Gorge Road until you hit the carparks.
Time 5 to 6 hours return to Field Hut, add an extra hour and a half if you want to complete Table Top as well.
Difficulty The track itself is not difficult to follow, it is well marked. The difficulty lies in the elevation gain. The track starts at pretty much sea level (16m according to my watch) and climbs to 1047m at Table Top.
Fitness You will need to be fairly fit to tackle this hike comfortably.
Hut Stats
Facilities Fireplace, a separate toilet is located just down the track,
Sleeps 20
Booking Required No, first in first served
Fees 1 standard hut pass per night – $5 for adults, $2.50 for youth (11-17 years) and children (under 10) free
A not so early start
I didn't take my own winter hiking advice this time. Slap on the hand. Instead, I pushed the snooze button a few (6) times and didn't get to the start of the track until 10am. Luckily I knew from research (I did take that part of my own advice) that I could still get in the full hike just before dusk fell. Though that meant that I couldn't faff about along the way. Which was probably a good thing.
A wee bit o' history
Field Hut is an actively managed historic hut that sits just below the bush line at an altitude of around 900m. It boasts being one of the first purpose-built tramping (hiking/backpacking to you non-kiwi's) huts in New Zealand. It also boasts being the oldest surviving hut in the Tararua Ranges. A Grandpa Hut, if you will, sitting up high in the Ranges watching over all the baby huts.
New Zealand's first Tramping Club, the Tararua Tramping Club built Feild Hut in 1924 to accommodate the increasing popularity of the Southern Crossing. It is named after W.H. Field who was president of the Tararua Tramping Club at the time. Although much of the original materials have been replaced over time, Field Hut still retains its original character and form.
Up to the Hut
Field Hut Track is a seemingly endless climb up to the hut. Leading you into a false sense of security, for about a kilometre it is relatively flat farmland until you get to the fork that takes you off in different directions to various tracks. From here it is a relentless climb.
The first part of the climb is a wee bit monotonous. The track is a wide exposed shingle track that zigzags up to the bush line. You get the occasional glimpse of the winding river growing ever smaller as you round each bend further up into the hill.
The bush line appears about an hour after setting off. A welcome relief after the monotony of the grassy climb to here. The shade of the trees was a refreshing change of scenery. Tree roots and rocky tracks made for a much more interesting hike as I once again skipped over the various hazards like the mountain goat I am. I only nearly fell over a couple of times.
A few of the various types of tracks
An embarrassing encounter
As I huffed and puffed my way up the hill I could hear voices floating down. I looked around. Nowhere to hide. I peered around the corner. 15-20 high school girls and their male-model teacher congregated on the side of the track on their way back down from Field Hut for the night. I, with my beet red face and sweat pouring down my face, had to pass by them all. There was no way around it.
Normally, I am a friendly person. Just not when faced with a couple of dozen teenage girls plied with makeup and coming down the hill looking as fresh as daisies while I am looking like a tomato that has been sat out in a rainstorm. Not so glamorous. Proof below.
The last haul up to Field Hut
There are a few flats and slight downhills towards Field Hut. Not many but they provide a nice change of pace to get your breath back again.
A movement caught my eye as I rounded a corner so I stopped to check it out (catch my breath). A lone owl was sitting on a low branch, watchfully looking on with its big round yellow eyes. I caaaarefully pulled my camera out of my bag but Mr Owl (or Miss Owl) showed no signs of leaving. He just sat there patiently waiting for his photo to be taken. It's very rare to see an owl in New Zealand and especially during the day. I often fall asleep listening to Moreporks at night but have yet to see one. Until now. And what a beautiful sight it made.
Field Hut
After coming across another hiker coming down and being warned that it was, "a bit chilly up the top" I rounded the corner and stumbled across Field Hut. It took approximately 2.5 hours of hiking time to get to the hut which wasn't too bad. I did have a couple of stops along the way so it took me just under 3 hours to get there.
Field Hut nestles amongst the trees, just below the bush line and watches over the valley quietly. A simple, rare two-storey structure with its bright red roof. It is not boastful in the slightest.
Obviously, I had to go inside and have a look around. A short fireplace with a cracked window sits in its alcove adorned with odd socks and tea towels. Bench seats lie upside down on the wooden table that dominates the cosy space. Foam mattresses rest against the wall, propped up side by side waiting for the next backpacker to make the hut their home for the night.
Up a wooden ladder lies the second storey. It is a simple open plan sleeping area. Foam mattresses propped up against the stark white walls either end of the bare room. A couple of large photographs adorn the A-frame roof across from the ladder, telling the story of Field Hut and the Tararua Range.
The dusty windows don't show much of a view and it is too cold to fling them open.
A last look around as I crunch on my apple satisfied with this lonely hut with plenty of tales to tell
Table Top
Table Top is another hour past Field Hut. I found this the hardest part of the hike. With the exposed hillside as I left the bush behind me and made my way across the tussocks, there was no shelter from the wind. Loose rocks that shifted underfoot littered the path bruising the sides of feet. A mountain goat darted up ahead not long before he was out of sight again.
Eventually, the track evens out along the ridgeline. The path goes from loose rocks to boardwalk, this also provided a challenge as it was wet and the boardwalk was slippery. After one final push uphill Table Top is within eyesight.
Unfortunately, there wasn't a fantastic view as the cloud was low. The cold pierced through me despite all my onion layers so it was time to turn back down to the relative calm of the bush. I didn't linger up at Table Top. I could sense that the light was going to fade fast that day with the cloud cover and the day was slipping away. No dilly-dallying!
The trek back to Field Hut took just over half an hour. I was on a mission. Another quick stop for some sweets and a loo break and down into the bush back towards the car I went.
The trek down
The trek down took just over two hours of hiking time. Some of the downhills were a bit precarious and I was hobbling by the end of the track from the loose rocks up the top. My feet had never been so happy to see my wee blue car waitin'.
I had thought that the trek down would be slightly quicker but it proved to take almost as long as the hike up. Not to worry, it was still a lovely hike and I could actually enjoy the views on the way down without having to wipe the sweat out of my eyes (doesn't that paint a lovely picture?). It was colder on the way down. I wore all my onion layers the whole way down. Base layer, fleece, waterproof jacket, hat, neckwarmer and all. They weren't going nowhere!
Final Thoughts
I found this a tough ole trek, much harder than I should have. I blame not feeling well rather than the fact I am still relatively unfit. That's my story anyway and I am sticking to it. It was a lovely trek though, Field Hut is a perfect example of a purpose-built New Zealand backcountry hut. The views were beautiful, though slightly dimmed by the cloud and there was plenty of variety in landscape and scenery to keep the short-attention-spanned hiker interested.
Field Hut is also the gateway to the Southern Crossing – a hike I hope to complete in the next few months. It was a good insight into what's in store for me.

I read this yesterday but didn't have time to comment- how fun! I wish we could go to a "teacher store" together! We'd have a ball! Even better, if we lived close we could share materials! (Actually, you'd probably be passing them down since Rachel's Harvard-bound! or something…) Love you!
a trip to the "teacher store"
Yesterday I went to the "teacher store". There are several in our area, and most I've been to since I used to teach in public schools. Now, on my previous visits, I never paid much attention to what was there. I was a middle school teacher… not a whole lot of use for all of the things there… in fact, a lot of the words were a little scary at first… manipulatives, language development, MATH… scary stuff. BUT, since we are sticking with our homeschool plan, I thought maybe it was time I went in there and actually looked at what was offered. I mean, it could end up being helpful, right?
Well, it was. And, I'm glad I went by myself. As a note to people who may read this… the first time really going to a store like that, leave your children behind! Not only because they will want everything they see, but also because there's a lot that you will just need to look at, and compare, and price. I made my goal to stick to a budget of under $75 because I knew it could potentially get out of hand quickly. And, I also knew in general what I was looking for.
A. Real-animal picture flash cards. These I'm planning on using with primarily Eli (although I know Rachel will jump in to!) to play "animal charades". His speech development is still behind, so I figure maybe this would be a good way to play a game and get him to make some different sounds/noises. At under $3, they were a great purchase. I'll have to post later on how it works… since we've had a busy weekend, haven't had the chance to try 'em out.
B. Since I'm still in the research phase of preschool curriculums to use with Rachel in the fall, I wanted to get her something that would help reinforce her letters and numbers knowledge, as well as work on fine motor skills. I got several things to help with this:
* Alphabet flashcards… we can use these for sight knowledge and for sound-making
* A workbook by Frank Schaffer Publications called "Alphabet Dot-to-Dot". It's pretty neat. It's a dot-to-dot coloring book… you can imagine that… but instead of numbers it uses the alphabet. I thought it would be good for the fine motor skills and the alphabet stuff. It may be too advanced for her yet, I plan on making photocopies of the pages so that I can use them later if she's not ready yet.
* A workbook called "Big book of Beginning Sounds". It also looks like fun. It's chock full of reproducables that go with each letter of the alphabet. For example: for "H" there is a picture of a house, and 6 empty squares in the house. On the backside there are 12 squares with pictures… you have to work with the child to choose the pictures that start with "h" and then they cut them out and paste them on the house picture. So, there again, covering the skills I was looking to cover. At the back are receipe cards with things to make in the kitchen that start with the letter you're working on. Example: "YumYum Yogurt" for "Y". There's loads of other activities as well. I think I"m going to like this purchase a lot. It was pricier… $16.95, but I believe well worth it.
* I also got the "Go Fish" game, but played with alphabet on it. Rachel will LOVE this!
Then, of course after I got the items I had intended to get, there were a few extra thrown in too!
* A color matching game. It's 20 2-piece puzzles. One piece has a color blot on it in a particular color, and the other piece as a picture of an item in that color.
* A memory matching game. Like the "Memory" game you all remember from childhood, but this one is published by Carson-Dellosa Publishing and uses real pictures instead of art.
And, of course, a basic lesson planning book. I'm one of those "need to write it out" kind of people, so I thought I'd go ahead and get one of these just so I can keep track of the skills we're working on, and note when we complete each one (not that we won't continue to reinforce… but that way I feel like we're actually accomplishing something!).
So, that's it! I spent $66, which meant I was under budget, and managed to come away with what I went in for! Of course, I saw bunches of other things I wanted… but will have to figure out what I actually need later on! For now, we have what we need… 🙂
I'm excited to plan and use my purchases… I'll update later with the good and the bad!

She's gunning for his job.
Hillary was at Harvard last week to receive the Radcliffe Medal for her "transformative impact on society."
No, that's not a joke. Sadly.
During the event, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey asked the two-time failed presidential candidate what she'd like to do after politics.
Clinton said she'd like to run a major corporation. Healey asked which one? "Facebook," came Hillary's immediate response.
"It's the biggest news platform in the world," she continued. "Most people in our country get their news, true or not, from Facebook."
While the discussion might have been hypothetical, it's the kind of thing we could see happening, given the radical shake-up of politics in America and Zuckerberg's own troubles with Congress.

If you ask a group of Knoxvilians (native or not) to tell you all the things that are great about Knoxville, Tennessee, you are sure to get a different list from each of them. There are so many unique and wonderful things about Knoxville that anyone is sure to find something they love.
Here at Cannon & Cannon, one of our favorite things about Knoxville would have to be the extensive system of greenways available. Users can travel the 86 miles (and growing!) of greenways in Knoxville as a means of traveling from one place to another, visiting historic landmarks, or even enjoying the beautiful natural scenery Knoxville has to offer.
All of these reasons and more are why we love working with greenways. We've worked with many greenways (and connecting sidewalks) in Knoxville, including the First Creek Greenway, Kingston Pike Greenway, and Seven Islands Greenways. We have also worked with greenways in surrounding areas, like the Melton Lake Greenway in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and the Cornstalk Heights Historic District Lighting and Pedestrian Trail in Harriman, Tennessee.
There are plenty of local resources about Knoxville's greenways. The City of Knoxville has an online list of every greenway in Knoxville, as well as a handy PDF map highlighting each trail.
Outdoor Knoxville, a local outdoor recreation initiative, also has a list of local greenways. However, they take it a step further by providing etiquette guides for bicyclists and all other users.
Other local groups have also created online resources that allow greenway users of all experience levels to learn more about the "Urban Wilderness" that Knoxville has to offer.
The Knoxville Track Club has a page dedicated to the best greenways in Knoxville for runners. The page also provides resources for greenways in surrounding areas outside of Knoxville.
Knox County Parks & Recreation has a page that lists some of the area greenways with descriptions (length, parking information, etc.).
West Knoxville Greenways – This page provides greenway information specific to the West Knoxville area.
TrailLink provides information and ratings of trails and greenways across the country. Travelers can even search for hotels located near their favorite routes.
While focused more on trails than greenways, this Legacy Parks Foundation page gives information about Knoxville's Urban Wilderness and provides other resources for those who are interested in outdoor recreation.
Do you have a favorite greenway in Knoxville? Check out our Facebook page and let us know!

Bernie Sanders has landed the plum job of Butler to Hilary Clinton. He will not be retiring to a condo on Pattaya beach Thailand. After failing to win the race to become the next Whitehouse manager for Goldman Sachs, we expected him to do the right thing and retire to a seaside condominium in the land of smiles. Poncing about from bar to bar wearing a baseball cap, polo shirt, tennis shorts and trainers, he would have fit perfectly into the American community. He could have become President of the local underground Bridge Club before, eventually, being pushed off the balcony of a high rise condo by a ladyboy.
Instead, he will remain in the public eye, walking two meters behind Clinton, carrying a silver salver with her mobile phone on it. Given Bernie's appearance (drooping shoulders, gray thinning hair, thick spectacles) he is perfectly suited to the job. In fact, some people believe that he was the one "who did it" and he is an escapee from of a Hollywood Agatha Cristie movie.
The real story from Reuters:
Democrat Bernie Sanders endorsed former rival Hillary Clinton for president in a display of party unity on Tuesday, describing her as the best candidate to fix the United States' problems and beat Republican Donald Trump in the Nov. 8 election.
With Clinton nodding in agreement beside him, Sanders put aside their bitter campaign for the Democratic nomination and said she would take up the fight to ease economic inequality, make college more affordable and expand healthcare coverage for all Americans.
"This campaign is about the needs of the American people and addressing the very serious crises that we face, and there is no doubt in my mind that, as we head into November, Hillary Clinton is far and away the best candidate to do that," he told a raucous crowd in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, that included plenty of vocal Sanders supporters.
"I intend to do everything I can to make certain she will be the next president of the United States," the U.S. senator from Vermont said.
His endorsement, five weeks after Clinton became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, brought the most prominent holdout in the party's liberal wing into her camp. Sanders threw Clinton his support less than two weeks before the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, where she is to be formally nominated.
"I can't help but reflect on how much more enjoyable this election will be now that we are on the same side," Clinton said of Sanders. "Thank you, Bernie, for your endorsement, but more than that, thank you for your lifetime of fighting injustice."
Trump ridiculed the move in a series of Twitter posts, saying Sanders had abandoned the supporters who flocked to his insurgent campaign to rein in Wall Street and get big money out of politics.
"Bernie Sanders endorsing Crooked Hillary Clinton is like Occupy Wall Street endorsing Goldman Sachs," Trump said on Twitter.
In a statement, the Trump campaign said Sanders was now officially part of the rigged system the senator had criticized during his long primary battle with Clinton.
"Bernie's endorsement becomes Exhibit A in our rigged system - the Democrat Party is disenfranchising its voters to benefit the select and privileged few," said Stephen Miller, a senior policy adviser to Trump.

Lorenzana assures Trillanes: 'No warrant, no arrest'
Senator Antonio Trillanes IV says he refuses to leave, claiming statements from President Duterte and the military were supposedly done to lure him out of the Senate
MANILA, Philippines – Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana ruled out any possibility of a warrantless arrest against Senator Antonio Trillanes IV after the Supreme Court (SC) denied the senator's request for an order halting the President's proclamation that voided his amnesty.
"No warrant, no arrest," Lorenzana told Rappler when asked what for the military's action following the decision of the SC.
Why this matters: If the chief of the Department of National Defense (DND) is to be believed, Trillanes may consider leaving the Senate.
The former mutineer-turned-senator previously said he would not be leaving the Senate grounds anytime soon as supposed sources told him the military still hand a standing order to arrest him.
Trillanes said he did not believe the statements of both President Rodrigo Duterte and the Armed Forces of the Philippines saying they would no longer arrest him and instead wait for the courts to decide. He said they were done to lure him out of the Senate.
The SC on September 11, denied Trillanes' petition stopping the implementation of the order, but said the senator cannot be arrested without a warrant.
Trillanes has spent 8 days in his office.

The ego and ego-less existence called true self or soul are poles apart. When one gets ego-less and is no more trapped by I-Me-Mine confine, the spiritual awakening happens.
The unconsciously formed ego through worldly experiences at home and in societal institutions enslaves our mind hand hinders our spiritual progress.
Here is a non-poem that dwells on ego dissolution as way to self-awakening.
Dissolve your ego
That binds you to selfishness
That breeds desires endlessly
That devalues others
That self-glorifies.
Ego is ignorance
That makes you cocky
That creates a sense of finitude
That shackles you to your swollen head
That veils your true reality.
Dissolve your ego
Now and here
Get rid of sense of finitude
This very moment
Free yourself
From the body-senses-mind cage
From I-Me-Mine confine
To get into the realm of limitless self
To attain self-realisation.
End your ego
In one stroke and ever
To be free, liberated
To become medium of motiveless actions
To live as limitless and eternal spirit.

'SNL' parodies final debate between bad hombre and nasty woman
"Saturday Night Live" gave us the final showdown between Trump and Clinton.
Donald Trump wasted notime bashing "Saturday Night Live" last week, calling for an end to the long-time sketch comedy show. In response, NBC's showcase wasted no time skewering the Republican presidential nominee in last night's episode, taking shots at his final debate moments.
With Alec Baldwin reprising his role as Trump, Kate McKinnon as Hillary Clinton and Tom Hanks playing moderator Chris Wallace, "SNL's" cold-open mocked Trump's inflammatory statements and foreign policy plans.
The show starts off with Trump guaranteeing Wallace he'll be calm, but it didn't last long before he launched into an attack on the Mexican president, calling him "Mr. Guacamole," his wife "Mrs. Taquito" and their kids "Chips and Salsa."
Debate favorites "bad hombre" and "nasty woman" also made an appearance on the sketch, and McKinnon's Clinton jumped on the bandwagon, promoting "nasty woman" merchandise for sale on her website.
The skit also brought up Trump's complaint about media rigging the election. Wallace probes for details to how the media could be showing favoritism to Clinton, to which Trump responds, "by taking all of the things I say and all of the things I do and putting them on TV."
Clinton didn't stay out of "SNL's" line of fire, coming under scrutiny for dodging questions over her email and seemingly bragging about her 30 years of public service.
Trump hasn't responded to last night's round of attacks from NBC, but perhaps he'll strike back if he actually starts a Trump TV network.

Music & Lyrics
I thought I would try something a little different and write a weekly post on something that means a lot to me – something that I depend on to pick me up when I'm feeling down – and that is music & lyrics. So each week I will pick a set of lyrics to post, and leave it to you to hear the music in your head. I will try to cover different styles, different topics, and as always, I will take suggestions of your favorites for posting as well (leave them in the comment box).
Today's pick is a piece that I sang a few years ago while accompanied on guitar by my father. The words and their story give me goosebumps, and everytime I hear them I find new meaning in them. I hope you enjoy!
If It's Magic by Stevie Wonder
If It's Magic, then why can't it be everlasting
Like the sun that always shines, Like the poets in this rhyme, Like the galaxies in time.
If it's pleasing, then why can't it be never leaving
Like the day that never fails, Like on seashores there are shells, Like the time that always tells.
It holds the key to every heart throughout the universe. It fills you up without a bite, and quenches every thirst.
So if it's special, then with is why aren't we as careful
As making sure we dress in style, posing pictures with a smile, keeping danger from a child.
…So if it's magic, why can't we make it everlasting
Like the lifetime of the sun, it will leave no heart undone
For there's enough for everyone.

Mid-Summer Homerun Derby
Before I get into my normal column about the soap opera of closers, I wanted to take a few moments to at least acknowledge the Classic Homerun Derby. And I might be in the minority on the homerun derby, but I happen to enjoy watching this event.
Every year we hear the same old story about the ill effects it has on the players. Some people complain about how it ruins their swings in the second half of the season, or that the contestants get too tired during the festivities, blah, blah, blah. Get over it people, how is this any different than batting practice, really? Do you realize how many swings hitters take before games? And then people wonder why there are so many oblique injuries. Here is an idea, minimize the amount of swings before games - it's not rocket science.
Anyways, without further ado here are the athletes participating in this year's affair: The American League's participants are Captain Cano, Chris Davis, Prince Fielder and "Yo Knows" Homeruns. The National League will use a meager bunch with Captain America or David Wright (not a fan of the nickname), Pedro Alvarez, Michael Cuddyer and Bryce Harper. On paper, or strictly by name, the AL should demolish the NL - but stranger things have happened. I would have to think that Prince Fielder is the favorite to win at this point because he has been there and done that twice.
To make the home run derby more interesting, each year I make a prediction on who will win. If you look at the dimensions of Citi Field, the park tends to favor right handed batters a little more than left handed hitters. Despite the park factors, I am picking Chris Davis to win because he can spray the ball to all fields. To go a little further, I am picking Chris Davis to defeat Yoenis Cespedes in the final round. If any of my readers make a prediction, enjoy and good luck to ya. One last thing about the All-Star game, and I don't care what anyone says, but the fact that Yasiel Puig is not in the All-Star game is utterly preposterous. This kid, "put da team on his back doe," and if the rest of the season is anything close to what he has shown so far, he will be getting MVP votes. Plain and simple he is a star, and isn't that who we put on All-Star teams? Now onto the closers and saves...
Yeoman's Work
Kevin "I have 2 First Names" Gregg: The Cubs signed Kevin Gregg to a minor league contract on April 14 and two days later he was summoned to the majors. Their bullpen was such a meh that the thought of him closing again wasn't out of this world. He recorded his first save on April 23rd and has not looked back since, converting 15 saves in 17 chances on the season. With the trade deadline looming his fantasy relevance will most likely be coming to an end, when he gets traded. The team that trades for Gregg will probably use him in the 7th or 8th innings as their closer position will already be solidified. It's probably not a matter of if but when he gets traded, so who will fill the vacancy? The three usual suspects would most likely be: Blake Parker, James Russell and Pedro Strop. On June 30th, Dave Sveum mentioned that Parker COULD be the favorite if Kevin Gregg is traded. Could is the key word in that last sentence, and this was also stated before they acquired Strop. If Strop can continue to pitch as good as he has since he has come over from Baltimore, than I think he will fill the void left by Gregg.
Rafael Soriano: Soriano is by no means in any danger of losing his job, but there is something about him that has me slightly worried. Notice I said, slightly, so it's nothing urgent - but worth noting. Soriano has 4 less saves than he has strikeouts. His K/9 ratio has dropped from 9.18 last year to only 6.63 this year. He is still pitching great and his velocity is good, but maybe he is just locating his pitches better without using his slider as much. There is nothing that suggests that he is hurt, but one has to wonder why he is not using his out pitch (slider) as much? So with all of that in mind, let's take a look at his replacement options if he were to get injured; Drew Storen and Tyler Clippard. Drew Storen is technically the set-up guy but he has not pitched well this season. Both Storen and Clippard have closing experience but I would handcuff Soriano with Clippard. Tyler Clippard is consistently good every year and I believe he is next in-line.
Arizona Diamondbacks: The Diamondbacks officially do not have a closer, so it's closer carousel time in Arizona. I still believe in David Hernandez but take your pick (J.J. Putz, Brad Ziegler, Heath Bell). Good Luck, to ya!
Rafael Betancourt: Betancourt has not pitched so great since coming off the DL, continue to hold Rex Brothers.
Kenley Jansen: Is Nailz!
Steve Cishek: If traded, I'm hearing Mike Dunn will close. Please monitor because this could be another carousel, or maybe A.J. Ramos runs away with the job.
Francisco Rodriguez: Being showcased for a possible trade. Jim Henderson has not pitched well lately so keep John Axford in mind, assuming he makes it past the dead-line.
Jonathan Papelbon: Rumors are that he gets traded, but I don't think it happens. To be safe I'd grab Antonio Bastardo. Bastardo is not a great option but probably their only alternative at this point.
Jason Grilli: With Jason Grilli still struggling, who are you holding? Mark Melancon that's who!
Huston Street: This dude is a meh, and I'm not convinced that he's healthy, but is he ever? Luke Gregerson or Dale Thayer would be the alternatives.
Jim Johnson: I have been writing about this for weeks, hold Tommy Hunter.
Koji Uehara: I believe he keeps this job the rest of the way.
Chris Perez: Perez (shoulder) seems to have solidified his job by converting 5 saves since coming off the DL.
Joaquin Benoit: Appears to be the closer for Detroit until further notice.
Jose Veras: Pick up Jose Cisnero in case Veras gets moved to another club.
Tom Wihelmsen: Wilhelmsen struggles continue, but he's still the closer.
Casey Janssen: As I mentioned before, keep the add button real close for Steve Delabar.

Two Voices
If you really want to reach a goal you will FOR SURE have 2 different voices in your head when the going gets tough... And you will either find a REASON to do it or you will find an EXCUSE not to.
So what helps me when I hear that voice?
To me, accountability and sweaty selfies are proof it happened .I'm checking in with you guys and my Virtual Fit Club and its helped me LOTS.
Most of us KNOW we should move more & we should eat right. But if we aren't checking in with a friend (Trainer, Coach Instructor, sister, etc) then its much easier to skip that workout and go out for (not so good) food TOO often.
Who are you checking in with? Reach out to that person because your life can improve and you NEVER have to do it alone!

"The Rum Diary" tells the increasingly unhinged story of itinerant journalist Paul Kemp. Tiring of the noise and madness of New York and the crushing conventions of late Eisenhower-era America, Kemp travels to the pristine island of Puerto Rico to write for a local newspaper, The San Juan Star, run by downtrodden editor Lotterman. Adopting the rum-soaked life of the island, Paul soon becomes obsessed with Chenault, the wildly attractive Connecticut-born fiancée of Sanderson. When Kemp is recruited by Sanderson to write favorably about his latest unsavory scheme, the journalist is presented with a choice: to use his words for the corrupt businessmen's financial benefit, or use them to take the bastards down.
See our full review:
The Rum Diary may actually be a more perfectly pitched screen translation of Hunter S. Thompson than Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was. »

Tony Wild
Inspired by a corrupted image on a mobile phone ten years ago, Tony learned to paint as a part of a Masters of Art at the UNSW College of Fine Arts, now UNSW Art & Design, and creates art to keep him sane. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Gerhard Richter, Brett Whiteley, and Piet Mondrian, Tony finds beauty in the forms that result from the broken or bent code in glitched or corrupted digital image files. The focus of Tony's practice centres on the complexities inherent in these images, reproducing, simplifying, and evolving the forms and patterns he finds through the medium of wood, Perspex, spray paint and neon lights in three-dimensional pieces.
Working in a studio in his lock-up garage, Tony paints, sculpts, draws, researches, and experiments, all in the time he can find while working a full-time job as a copywriter for an advertising agency. Preferring to work by painting on board, as the predictability of board gives him a better chance at making the marks he's trying to create be a part of the final product, Tony dreams to work as a full-time artist while engaging in some on-the-side political activism. Passionate about politics, Tony volunteers with the community group GetUp! to make a difference on issues of human rights, climate change, and social justice. For the time being, however, Tony hopes to exhibit his work in solo shows, finish his Masters, and collaborate with other local artists, with whom he would love to work on a large-scale urban artwork.

On the Way to the Grand Canyon
Spectacular scenery of the American Southwest en route to our grand adventure hiking the Grand Canyon!Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
Lake Powell Boat Tour
In Page, Arizona, at the visitor's center, we discovered that there is a boat that will take you 100 miles up Lake Powell to Rainbow Bridge. We signed up for it for the next day. Early the next morning we sloshed down our breakfast to get to the Wahweap Marina by 7:30 a.m. This was going to take all day, something like 6 or 7 hours so it started early.
It was cold and windy up top of the boat, it was October, afterall. But none of us wanted to go downstairs even though the boat had large windows and a more comfortable temperature down there. These views out in the fresh air, though, were spectacular!
It is amazing to see how Glen Canyon was filled by damming the Colorado River in 1963. It took 11 years for the water to rise and fill up this canyon. Now this body of water serves as a valuable reservoir.
This day it was beautiful to watch the landscape whiz by as we motored through.
We had a side trip too, through a narrow side canyon. That was tricky maneuvering for our captain and, at one point, we did scrape the wall. But it was fun to get into a narrow slot like this.
I didn't know if I'd like a whole day on a boat and it was pretty tiring. But it was so beautiful, I was glad to see it. It was our last day so we squeezed in more of Antelope Canyon AND Horseshoe Bend as well before hitting the sack.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are heptahelical, transmembrane proteins that mediate a plethora of physiological functions by binding ligands and releasing G proteins that interact with downstream effectors. GPCRs signal as monomers, complexes of the same receptor subtype (homomers), or complexes of different receptor subtypes (heteromers). Recently, heteromeric GPCR complexes have become attractive targets for drug development since they exhibit distinct signaling and cell-specific localization from their homomeric counterparts. Yet, the effect of heteromerization on the pharmacology of many GPCR homomers remains unknown. Therefore, we have undertaken the task to examine the effect of heteromerization on Gs signaling through the adenosine 2A receptor (A2AR) and Gi signaling through the dopamine type 2 receptor (D2R) since the A2AR-D2R heteromer is an emerging therapeutic target for Parkinson's disease (PD). We examined the effect of heteromerization on A2AR and D2R homomeric signaling using electrophysiology and the Xenopus laevis oocyte heterologous expression system. G protein-coupled inwardly rectifying potassium channels (GIRKs) were used as reporters for Gi signaling because activation leads to direct Gbeta-gamma (Gβγ)-mediated stimulation of the GIRK current. We also coupled GIRK channels to Gs signaling by overexpressing Gαs and signaling throughGαsβγ. Our electrophysiological assay is innovative because it allows us to optimize the conditions of heteromerization and directly observe GPCR signaling at the G protein level. Our data demonstrate that heteromer formation alone decreases dopamine-elicited Gi signaling through the D2R and CGS-21680-elicited Gs signaling through the A2AR. Furthermore, this reciprocal antagonism was predominately due to changes in efficacy versus potency. We also examined crosstalk observing that applying agonists or antagonists to the adjacent receptor further modulate this inhibition with the combination of agonists and antagonists relieving inhibition. Mutating the A2AR-D2R heteromer interface abrogated all of the aforementioned ligand-induced effects on G protein signaling through the A2AR-D2R heteromer. We are currently aiming to validate our results from the oocyte experiments with an in vivo model. Our data further elucidate the effect of various ligands on G protein signaling through the A2AR- D2R heteromer, which may facilitate future studies that examine A2AR-D2R heteromer signaling.

Mary Magdalene ~ Love and Accept Your Divine Self Beyond Everything
By Fran Zepeda, 06/04/2017
Greetings, Beautiful Beloveds. I AM Mary Magdalene. I greet you with much Love and understanding of your growing and glowing Love Essence; your Beautiful Presence; your Sustaining Grace; and your rise in consciousness to hold and maintain all the divine aspects of Creator in sustaining Truth.
You have reached a level of consciousness now that has surpassed all you have ever achieved, and you may find yourselves hovering in an entirely new place now that exhibits new behaviors and heralds new understanding of what used to be a puzzle.
Yet, you know that holding this new consciousness will take some gentle handling, for the energies of it are delicate and new and unfamiliar and cannot always be understood on a mind level. Allow this new consciousness to settle in your heart now and allow these new and unfamiliar feelings to incubate there. Allow the unknown to be welcome. Allow the uncertainty to be welcome. Allow your Divine Self to be more familiar, as you Love and Accept your Divine Self Beyond Everything.
To support this, I offer a Mantra to hold in your heart. Feel each quality as it expands within you, AS you:
'I AM Divine Will beyond everything;
I AM Divine Wisdom beyond everything;
I AM Divine Love beyond everything;
I AM Divine Purity beyond everything;
I AM Divine Truth beyond everything;
I AM Divine Grace beyond everything;
I AM Divine Freedom beyond everything;
I AM Divine Clarity beyond everything;
I AM Divine Harmony beyond everything;
I AM Divine Unity and Peace beyond everything;
I AM Divine Purpose beyond everything;
I AM Divine Transformation and Transcendence beyond everything;
…I AM Pure Source Consciousness….
…. For this is my true Being…. Nothing can intrude or tamper with my ultimate acceptance of myself as a Pure Divine Being, One with All That Is. For I am One with Source in all I feel, think and do.'
Continue to Feel each quality as it expands within you, AS you. It is a beautiful feeling, beloveds. It is an exquisite feeling. Feel your heart expanding into this Truth. And know that you have risen, and will continue to rise, in consciousness as you accept this truth about yourself: that you are a beautiful Divine Being complete with all the divine aspects and qualities of Creator and Christ Consciousness.
Know that this way of Being, is Beyond Everything that is duality and separation. You are leaving that behind, so accept your new place and presence immersed in all these divine qualities. For they define you now. You resonate completely with them as long as you choose to accept that you are a Divine Being complete with all these qualities, for you are not separate from Creator; you are One with Creator and Source, replete with All Divine qualities.
Play and explore with how you feel in possession and full immersion of these qualities. What does it feel like? Revel in it. BE it. Accept it as a truth about you. Feel the expansion of this divine knowing in your Heart. It will lift you ever higher and keep you in a vibration and frequency that invites experiences reflecting these divine qualities and aspects.
You have arrived at a vibration that is resonate with this. Resist the pull into duality and separation that may happen as you get tired, especially with all the upgrades and downloads currently enhancing your energy. Allow yourself enough rest to allow this new energy to balance and integrate within you. It is a process.
You are exquisite in your new resonance and I trust you will begin to see things in an entirely new way that is commensurate with this new vibration and consciousness that is seeping into and sustaining you stronger than ever.
Settle into your new way of Being and allow yourself the knowing that you are refining yourself to a level of purity that is replete with all the divine aspects of Creator, of Christ Consciousness, that are now alive and affecting your reality beyond anything and everything you have experienced before.
I offer my Love and Support to all, with deep and loving abidance.
I AM Mary Magdalene.

Work in Progress: Van Wassenhove House
Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium, 1972
Designed by Juliaan Lampens
Photos: Rik Vannevel
Interview with Tanguy Eeckhout, curator at Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens, Deurle
History and architectural value of Van Wassenhove House
One of the crucial houses designed by Belgian architect Juliaan Lampens in 1972 (completed in 1974). It was built for Albert Van Wassenhove, a teacher and a bachelor with a highly developed interest in art and culture. This house of cast concrete, wood and glass, is situated in a middle-class residential area, near the city of Ghent. Conceived as a home for one person, it is the archetype of the grotto, as architect Jo Van Den Berghe has put it: the house has a geological steadfastness; it creates a sense of security and protection and makes the world outside feel remote.
Who is the owner of Van Wassenhove House?
After the death of Albert Van Wassenhove in 2012, the University of Ghent became owner of the house. They gave it in long lease to the museum Dhondt-Dhaenens thus giving it a public function.
Who are working on bringing Van Wassenhove House back to live?
The house is still in quite good condition but is more than forty years old and it needs some restoration to give it back the splendour of the seventies. The electricity, the sanitary fittings and the heating-apparatus also require renovation. To fund the whole restoration project the museum Dhondt-Dhaenens was very lucky to find very generous donators with a heart for modernist architecture, Mr & Mrs Philippe and Miene Gillion. All the works are done in dialogue with the architect himself and the non-profit association 'Juliaan Lampens vzw'.
What is your role?
The museum Dhondt-Dhaenens is situated not so far from the house and is active as a centre for modern and contemporary art exhibitions. We feel it as our duty to protect the modernist patrimony of the region and to give it a new future.
How long will the restoration take?
We have been discussing the restoration project for several months with the donator, the architect Juliaan Lampens, his association and the building contractor SOGIAF. The works started this spring and we hope to finish the works in July 2015.
Will there be a conservation management plan?
We will of course keep the house as it was conceived: as a total concept of the architect Juliaan Lampens. Therefore we will also re-install the furniture designed by Juliaan Lampens.
Regarding the design of Van Wassenhove House what is of most value to you?
It is without a doubt the very singular way of re-interpreting the concept of a home without superficial or extravagant luxury. Juliaan Lampens worked on the essentials of a living house in an open space and presented a radical alternative for the Flemish bourgeois country houses. The 'sleeping room' for example is amazing in its simplicity: it is defined by a wooden circle with a height of approximately 1,5 meter.
What is the biggest challenge with regard to the restoration?
Sometimes architects have specific demands that are important for the concept of the building, but complicated or with uncertain results on the long term. For example, the roof workers tried to dissuade us from removing the eaves of the roof (a later addition without consulting the architect), but we felt we had to follow the wish of the architect. The same with the sockets and the lighting switch-board: they will remain integrated in the floor of the house, despite the fact that electricians preferred relocating them on the walls.
Will Van Wassenhove House be open to the public and what purpose will it serve?
It will be partly open to the public as it will be possible to rent it for short stays. We will also organize visits one or two weekends a year. The house will also be part of a residency program for writers or PhD-researchers in need of isolation for study and writing.
How many visitors do you expect?
The house is located in a residential area and we can't admit too many visitors in this quiet environment. This is the reason why we opt for a residency program and a possibility for architecture aficionados to rent the house and stay for a two or three day period to experience the architecture. Two days a year it will be open to public, but only accessible by bike or by foot.
How will the house be managed?
There will be a housekeeper but the residency program and the bookings will be organized through museum Dhondt-Dhaenens.
What interesting information can you share with us that we have forgotten to ask you?
The house is located in the wealthy village of Sint-Martens-Latem. It is the center of the region of the Lys-river, well known for its nature and for its artist colony, active in this area in the beginning of the twentieth century. This also explains why there are a lot of museums and cultural activities in this area.

I have always maintained that it is relatively easy to write a novel. It's far more difficult to edit one! I wonder if you agree with me on this. Editing is not restricted to correcting the typos and checking the punctuation. It's a time-consuming, concentrated effort to make the book a better, more absorbing read for your readers. After all, the book is meant for them, right?In this context, I found "Ten Editing Tips" by Margaret Atwood of much use. These are perhaps basic points but paying attention to them can make a big difference to your book. It can make your book a winner, instead of sinking without a trace!

A run around the British coastline
Frances Mills tells us about her journey of a lifetime
So this is day one. One day and a only a few miles into a 10-month, 4500-mile running journey and my back aches. My soles hurt like I've been punching them, which I suppose in a way I have been, pounding them into the ground one after the other all morning. Now that I'm finally sitting down though – with a hand-warming mug of hot tea and the sun still shining on my face - I can't help but feel I'm on the right track.
I'm Frances, though most of my friends call me 'Franny' or 'You're Mad' for short. Mad not because I love running (I do), nor because I run super-fast (I don't), but mad because I can run and run, then walk and run some more. Now before I get ahead of myself here I should mention that I run slowly - really slowly! My mum often jokes that she'll come for a "run" with me one day and comfortably walk along beside me at the same speed! Although I'm sure I'm a tad faster than that, it's true that speed is not in my blood. The going is slow for me - slow enough that I can just keep going.
The plan, or so I keep telling my feet, is to run and camp along the British coastline over the next three winters. I've begun close to home in Bristol and will head down through and around the southern tip of Cornwall and eventually venturing as far North in Scotland as I can go, while meandering and jogging everywhere in between and along the coast!
Running for me is not a race, nor a question of speed and timing. It is a way to explore, to find those new trails, see different and varied landscapes and to experience winter running - something I have avoided for years and to my own detriment!
No more excuses for me not to explore - I'm not yet fit but I'm not rushing to catch up with anyone. I'll happily plod along this winter, distracted by every frog, jumping in every frozen puddle and smiling at every funny shaped tree!
