An echo of glory
W.B.A 1 Spurs 3
Twenty eight out of a possible thirty points. Five away wins this season already (seven in total last time out). Is this the thing they call consistency? Of course it is. We've been accustomed to it for a while now. Don't pretend otherwise. Spurs have gradually gained said consistency across a season since Martin Jol almost lead us to the promised land. Since then, its been consolidated under Harry Redknapp (we'll ignore the blip that was Ramos). We continue to build up the defences at Fortress Lane. We've only been ransacked on rare occasions by canny thieves and barbarian armies. Away from home we conquer territory, sometimes with sheer perseverance and stubbornness, knowing we have the ability to attack and kill and leave the battlefield victorious.
The uncertainty, it no longer troubles us. It's now a routine. Sometimes expertly choreographed. Sometimes with a smile from the Gods.
A winning mentality, is not possessed over night. We've got one. It's fledgling and its in our hands (and heads and feet) just how well we nurture it.
This is not false hope. This isn't Spurs of old. Win a few games, then resort back to mediocrity. You have to be foolish to think that based on the fact we have some irresistibly slick players in our squad and the team, as a unit, has an organic progression to it. Last season was considered a failure because we finished 5th. That speaks volumes to how far we've come from those dark perpetually transitional periods in the 90s and early 00s.
When we have a full strength team arguably we have one of the best midfield's in the land. Robust, intelligent and exhilarating. Players like Luka, Rafa and Gareth...dream targets for the competition.
When I found out Luka Modric was also out of the game against W.B.A. (along with Rafa van der Vaart) I found myself scratching head contemplating this would go a long way to displaying the fortitude of manager + players. We don't get much at the Hawthorns so to turn up there with two key players missing means you're going to instantly knee-jerk and resort to questioning the depth in squad, or lack of. Then you might start to panic about what would happen if say Adebayor picked up a knock. It's all valid concern and I'd like to see us consolidate in January by signing two more top class players to really push this home and retain a top three placement.
So two players out, Defoe and Sandro in. Further maturity gained for club. What we got was yet another piece of striking evidence that this Spurs side is strong, physically and mentally.
First half, we struggled to adjust and our defending was neither tidy/organised. But at no point did I think here we go again because we've not actually gone there for an absolute age. Even if the side lacked a cohesive flow to it we have such an abundance of quality (see move that led to Lennon being fouled and awarded the penalty) that we can soak up pressure but always retain that potential to hit back. Regarding the penalty, scuffed shot for the kick, but Adebayor followed up to knock it in for the equaliser. Redemption for the team for the manner in which we conceded the easy opening goal W.B.A scored.
Second half was a bit more like it. Parker more aggressive in forward positions, team possession and passing improved (still the odd lapse and loose ball). Was nowhere the perfection we witnessed against Villa but again our quality gives us an edge that clubs like our hosts will always struggle to defend against. The flick to JD and his subsequent run and shot...brilliant. Adebayor scuffed again (Christ only knows what he'll be capable of once he finds himself in sharp form) for a third. Could have had more. Seven goal, six assists for our loan star so far.
W.B.A might argue they created a chance or two. Chances don't equate to points.
No nerves. Plenty of patience. Some luck.
Kaboul might have had the shakes, but there were more positives from the game than negatives. Adebayor continues to prove the virtues of having a complete forward who works relentlessly for his team mates. Lennon's renaissance continues. Even on the left-hand side. Defoe made an impact you can hardly ignore. Sandro, beastly as per usual, even if dangerously close to seeing red.
There's an air of confidence that allows the team to play without finger hovering above the panic button. In fact, where is the panic button? Once upon a time it was big enough for one of our players to simply head butt it to signal a capitulation. It's been a long time coming but it's nice to know that these days its more likely to be pressed by the opposing side.
When we play well, we are unplayable. Sometimes we can do just about enough to get through ninety minutes and secure the three points, almost like it was never in doubt even if there were moments when it was.
That, ladies and gentlemen is the mark of a proper team.
Well done. Again.
Still, early days. Not even Christmas yet. Long may the run continue, but all we've done thus far is set the foundations for what might be a superb season.
We are still growing and adapting to obstacles (of a selection type) that challenge us. If we're still involved at the top come 2012, which I'm sure we will be, then the transfer window will be imperative for us because to make this side even stronger by adding two or three players into the fold could be the difference between Top four or Top two.
Oh look at me getting all giddy and excitable. What do I care, heart on sleeve, I'm enjoying this as much as you. I refuse to be nervous and I refuse to hide behind negative what ifs. As improbable as a title challenge might appear to be, you'll never know just how good you are or just how good you can be if you don't aim high.
So aim high Spurs. Aim high. What will be will be.

With Logan being so sick, things around here have been kind of heavy lately. I thought it was only fitting to lighten the load a bit with some snapshots from our daily life.
Micah is a copycat. She has entered the stage of toddlerhood where she mimics nearly everything I do, including getting ready in the mornings.
For the past couple of months, we've Dennis has been working on a bathroom remodel, which meant that I got ready in our bedroom most days. Micah was all about it.
As soon as I said it was time to get ready, she'd run to get her make-up bag (filled with travel-sized brushes and empty bottles), plop down in front of the mirror and start rubbing her face.
At least, that's what I think.
Until next time, grace and peace.

Fad diets sell the empty promise of helping you shed pounds "in just days." But did you know, some fad diets are really bad for your health, and can even have severely negative impacts on your body - the most extreme of which is death? It is, hands down, a very frightening thing to think that some companies are so irresponsible in the marketing of their fad diet craze that they ignore the real life impacts.

Some days your boss might bring in donuts or other sugary snacks, or you might even get stuck trying to figure out how not to seem "weird" at a pizza party. We know it's all meant to be good-natured and fun, but it can be a real challenge for those trying to get their health under control.
If the food that is available doesn't seem like it would be compliant with your diet, it is sometimes best to come prepared. Below are 12 easy snacks that are McDougall Diet compliant - courtesy of the McDougall Friend's Facebook group.
30 Ways How You can Create a Better You in 2017
Most of us have a basic desire to become "better" with the New Year. It's really the basis of so many people around the world making New Year's resolutions, and with the change of the year from 2016 to 2017, the same thing will happen as has happened for centuries. We all hope to shed some of the tough times and bad experiences of the past year, and look forward to making changes in the new one. You probably have a list of things you'd like to improve on - as do I!
Creating a better you in the new year is entirely possible if you can really commit to making changes. It can be difficult, but if you stick with it, you may find your entire life has changed for the better!
What follows are 30 ways to create a better you as you head out into the new year. Keep in mind, while not all of these may be relative to you, they are some great suggestions to get you going in the right direction.
10 Challenges of a Plant-Based Diet
Let us face the facts - changing your diet can be tough. Just like moving across country to a new, foreign city, can cause some anxiety and pose challenges - both expected and unexpected - changing to a plant-based diet can be as equally frustrating.
Fortunately, much like the analogy of someone moving across country, we have to keep in mind all of the positives that come from such a move - expanded horizons, potential for better jobs, ability to experience new things, and the ability to feel like you are making the best out of your life (just to name a few). Adopting a plant-based diet provides similar results - you can experiment with new foods, expand your taste pallet, and reap positive nutritional benefits that impact your body and mind for years to come.
Sometimes in all of the excitement to share what the plant-based diet is all about with others, we can forget how difficult it can be at times to make this change. Much of this is personal as I only recently (in the past few years) have been adhering to a plant-based diet - for the majority of my life, the "Standard American Diet" was par for the course.
Top 18 Stereotypes, Misconceptions, and Myths About Vegans
Vegans sometimes get a bad rep - and sometimes they happen to bring it upon themselves. For one reason or another, stereotypes have really started to dictate how your average person views the vegan lifestyle - and they can be powerful. For vegans who don't fit the mold, it can be increasingly difficult to have a conversation about veganism, healthy eating, and lifestyle politics (such as environment preservation and animal cruelty).
12 Mistakes Everyone Makes When Changing Their Diet
I came across a great little story about William the Conqueror, an 11th century military commander and king that is known for bringing England under Norman reign during this time period, and his unique creation of what is often considered "the first fad diet." Apparently, he faced some weight loss struggles like the best of us, and decided to take matters into his own hands - in the form of a liquid, alcohol-based, diet. Inevitably, practical starvation led to some weight loss, but it had other health consequences. Supposedly, when he got on his horse one day, he didn't have the strength to stay on and fell off - and soon died from complications of the fall.
This little snippet of history is special because it shows us a few things - how human beings have used diets in one way or another to try and resolve some of our physical (and probably mental) challenges, and not always to great success. To some extent, there was some degree of experimentation required in the early days of dieting, after all these diets had no real potential to be grounded in the scientific method.
Things are different today, though, and if you do your research you can find a diet that can benefit your health, help you shed pounds, and still be healthy at the end of the day - instead of ready to fall off your proverbial horse!
Dr. McDougall's 10 Diet-Induced Changes That Slow and Reverse Cancer
While doing some reading on Dr. John McDougall's website, I came across a list of 10 recommended dietary changes that can help to reduce cancer risk and reverse cancer in patients already feeling the effects. This is some seriously powerful stuff, and goes to show how a whole foods, plant-based diet can really have a positive impact on our bodies. In this specific case, reducing the risk of cancer (or effects of cancer) is powerful given how many of us have lost important people in our lives to the cancer battle. It is great to know that it is, for many, avoidable and treatable by changing our dietary core.

Garden Landscapers, Creations Or Garden Makeovers ?
Patio Landscapers love traditional fashioned yard makeovers or so they love to make you suspect. Garden landscapers essentially are those people hardy breed of men which have been often seen in more cosmopolitan areas hanging away from scaffolding constructions making effective remarks for you to ladies passing with the streets down the page. However, as you rather famous singer pointed out, the times they are a replacing. Garden landscapers these days need to be more than just garden building firms and planters. Usually, people are generally demanding increasingly more from your garden landscapers. Requests for example installing a garden fish pond, a water feature or normal water fountain really are fast outstripping the more conventional back garden makeovers.
Garden landscapers are now far prone to be patio technicians, requiring knowledge and understanding of water you will need products, pump motor flow charges, water lighting requirements, drinking water fountain moving jets, results of go of normal water, stream effects plus much more. Top type garden landscapers now need to be equipped using garden fashion designers, builders, laborers, drinking water garden experts, horticulturalists, electricians, fencing contractors along with the necessary garden plants machinery along with garden supplies to turn your dreams into certainty. There is much more when compared to meets the eye to back garden landscapers from quality gardens. Landscape gardeners in many cases are found to be spiritual most people, often having a drive and desire to improve the environment. Providing a new garden rich in nature can often be their goal although they also bear in mind the future healthiness and enjoyment from the human bosses.
Garden landscapers often have to present areas just for seating, consuming, playing and interacting with nature often within the limited space in the garden bounds. Patios don't get laid on their own, jungle gyms for that children do not magically include the night time, garden ponds don't dig themselves and as for gardening maintenance, I should certainly say forget about. This is where the garden landscaper does a great job, in those people times in which the hard you will need begins. Having the ability to work with nature's means of ground, water, gentle, wood, and rock and roll & stone is what make patio landscapers about quality a new commodity onto themselves. Making shapes, textures and sounds of pleasure inside the garden is normally what pieces this kind apart. Given the chance to develop, garden landscapers will frequently produce garden makeovers in awe. Turning what was once a maximum of a backyard into a space regarding tranquility, motivation, meditation along with admiration is undoubtedly a skill to get respected.

HOLIDAY PHOTO SESSIONS (contact for dates avail)
2015 Art Market Announcement Soon.
A picture book story is hitting the [C] blog soon~
With a pair of heels, goggles and possibly a helmet in tow, this girl travels with some mad skills and determination! :)
CONTACT [C] to be sent upcoming photo event dates or book an individual photo experience.
A cowboy meets a dancing angel in Houston, Texas! From the shooting range to dates walking on the beach, these two found something special in each other and have decided to walk a lifelong journey together. No matter how high the tide or rough the waves, they plan to lift each other up and grow together. A love story just washed up to the shore . . . Meet Mindi & Jeremy
"I didn't know if it was a real date." He asked if I wanted to go to a shooting range. It was a good choice because I was excited yet a little nervous, but it gave him the opportunity to teach and encourage me! After the shooting range, we went to dinner and I remember thinking, "Ok, so if he pays for dinner then that means its a real date." But he paid with a gift card! I was thankful we didn't start "dating" right away because we were able to really get to know each other and establish a friendship first. *It all happened quite perfectly. Friendship, excitement, faith, love, forgiveness, and prayer are just some out of many ingredients that hold us together.
On our first date, I was just surprised she said yes since she doesn't really like guns and I took her to the shooting range! Every time a gun fired she jumped and I thought she was going pull a neck muscle! What has ended up being a joke between us is that because I used a gift card at dinner, Mindi wasn't sure if it was really a date cause even though I paid, I used a gift card and she didn't think that counted as me paying...
The thing I love most about Jeremy is his loving spirit. He loves and protects me like it's his life purpose. I also love his teachable spirit. He is constantly growing and desires to be the great man God has called him to be. Jeremy brings my goofy and playful side out of me. From the very beginning of our relationship I was %100 myself. He is a natural encourager. When I am down he lifts me up and always makes me feel better! The miracle of a relationship is getting to know yourself better and what needs to be healed or cut out.
I love Mind's easy going nature and worldly innocence. She brings out my leadership and playful sides! I live to lead, support, and encourage her in everything!
1. Take each day at a time, and try to enjoy the planning!
2. Make lists so your brain doesn't go too crazy
3. Pre-marital counseling is a must! Its extremely beneficial!
4. Most important thing at the end of the day is to continue to focus on your bond with each other, and the Christ-like (patient, kind, faithful, gentle) love you share with one another.
5: Advice for the guy, you can never offer to help enough with Wedding planning and even if you don't have an opinion on something to do with the Wedding, you still have to have an opinion! Just make sure it's her's!
Congratulations Mindi & Jeremy and many blessings on January 25, 2014!

Thanks Brand. I've been doing an OS update all morning. I am very glad to be done with that. My primary source is the CIA World Factbook, but a very close second is the UN LOCODE data base here : http://www.unece.org/cefact/locode/ This was not on your UN Data list. In ACCESS, there are Country, Subdivision, and Port Codes (77k Ports). Do you have any suggestions on formats which might make the files more easily accessible for Spotfire ? Right now I have the source in OO Base (which has very fancy SQL available) I dump queries to a spreadsheet and then PERL it to XML. Does the data update automatically (or nearly so) ? There are "only" 106 local capitals involved for the NAFTA partners, so I think I'll make a page with sunlight (daylight) calculations, as a way to avoid (until next week) the tedious work of verifying the "My World" files :o) --Gannon --- On Fri, 10/29/10, email@example.com <email@example.com> wrote: From: firstname.lastname@example.com <firstname.lastname@example.com> Subject: Re: My NAFTA To: "Gannon Dick" <firstname.lastname@example.com> Cc: "W3C eGov Interest Group" <firstname.lastname@example.com> Date: Friday, October 29, 2010, 5:50 AM Please see http://gaininitiative.wik.is/Gannon_Dick firstname.lastname@example.com wrote: ----- To: W3C eGov Interest Group <email@example.com> From: Gannon Dick <firstname.lastname@example.com> Sent by: email@example.com Date: 10/28/2010 05:44PM Subject: My NAFTA All three countries (Canada [1], Mexico [2] and United States [3]) are posted.

Political power is defined the same way as classical physics defines Power, as the derivative of Work with respect to Time. That in turn means that political systems do work like a Carnot Cycle (Engine) with an increase in Entropy (Open System). For example, a Province of the Roman Empire has no "Power" because it does no work (any more), and Kansas has "Power" because it does work, but does not get a little bit bigger each night as you expect of your savings account.

Trend Reversal or Simple Correction?
To trade properly, we need to focus on two major chart components: the trend of the security and the supply or demand zones. The trend tells us when we should be a buyer or a seller. The supply or demand zones tell us where we should actually take action. Mastering how to read these components is part of the Online Trading Academy core strategy.
A bullish trend is a series of higher highs and higher lows. A bearish trend is when you have lower highs and lower lows. When the trend shifts from bullish to bearish or vice versa, we see that definition of the trend broken by price. But how it breaks may offer a clue as to how far the new movement may travel before a large reversal.
When looking at the reversal of a bullish trend, we know that the trend is officially over when lower lows are put in. But if price makes a lower high before making the first lower low, then it shows the lack of buying pressure in the markets and a larger likelihood that the resulting bearish trend will be stronger.
As seen in the preceding picture, when price breaks to a new low first before making a lower high, the breakdown is likely to pause and retest before continuing. It could even have a much shorter movement downward before reversing again. This is typical of a price correction where the trend was only temporarily interrupted.
The BBBY chart shows where the end of the uptrend and start of a new downtrend was indicated by the lower highs and lows.
Breaks of the trend definition without defining a new trend first are a potential sign of a correction. In the AAPL chart, price did reverse trend according to the strong signals. However, when a higher high came into a downtrend without higher lows first, it was simply a correction and offered a new opportunity to short in the bearish trend.
When price makes a lower high before the lower low, it is usually a sign that the trend is actually reversing.
The same strategy is true for bullish reversals of a downtrend. When there is a higher low put in first before a higher high, then the rally is more likely to continue as the sellers have given up and buying pressure has been building. But if the higher high is made before a higher low, you are likely to see a correction and retest of the breakout. You may also see a weak bullish trend resulting from this.
The initial intraday trend for the SPY on the following chart was down. A trader who noticed the higher low preceding the higher high would have known that the trend was reversing and longs were now the better opportunity.
The signal works most of the time regardless of the timeframe used. In the following daily chart, a bearish trend reversed with higher lows before higher highs.
This technique is to be used as an odds enhancer. The trends will typically reverse at strong supply and demand zones from larger timeframes. The corrections occur at supply and demand from the smaller timeframes.

Calvin Harris has confirmed he's split from girlfriend Rita Ora after a year together.
The musician took to Twitter to break the news after months of speculation their relationship was on the rocks, and said it happened "some time ago".
He also got quite gushy, describing the 23-year-old RIP singer is "beautiful" and "talented".
Calvin wrote: "To address speculation - myself and Rita ended our relationship some time ago. She is a beautiful, talented woman & I wish her all the best."
But while the DJ addressed the split with dignity, here we look at some celebs who dealt with their exes a little differently. From admirable uncoupling to lawsuits and Twitter rows, it's a bumpy ride...
ENEMIES! Katie Price and Peter Andre
They may have split five years ago but the fight is less than over between Katie and Peter. They fell in love infront of TV cameras on I'm A Celebrity, Katie and Peter Andre's rollercoaster relationship has been played out in reality shows, magazine deals and Twitter ever since.
FRIENDS! Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow
A nod of appreciation goes to Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow, who gave a bizarre statement citing "conscious uncoupling" for the reason they decided to divorce. And to add even more mystery they spent the few days after making the shock split announcement together on a romantic island.
ENEMIES! Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries
After a measly 72-day marriage, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries got divorced. Unfortunately there was a legal battle which dragged on for so long it was only made official while Kim was pregnant with baby North, with new hubby Kanye West.
FRIENDS! Harry Styles and Taylor Swift
It wasn't the longest relationship in showbiz and it's reported the otherwise lovely Taylor Swift penned break-up song I Knew You Were Trouble about Harry Styles. But they can't exactly avoid each other with the amount of A-list music awards they attend – so it's not surprising they've maintained a dignified friendship.
ENEMIES! Robert Kardashian and Rita Ora
It was thought Rita Ora and Rob Kardashian were dating for over a year after appearing to confirm their romance with a kissing selfie. But when Rob posted a string of tweets alleging Rita cheated on him with "20 dudes in less than a year" she hit back saying "I never thought it was actually a relationship".
FRIENDS! Liz Hurley and Hugh Grant
From long-term lovers to lifetime friends, Liz Hurley and Hugh Grant spent 12 years together and have been close ever since. Liz controversially admitted to being closer to Hugh while engaged to Aussie cricketer Shane Warne. "It's hard for six months to compete with 20 years on a friendship level. I don't think either of us can imagine not having the other in our lives," she said of her ex.
FRIENDS! Simon Cowell and Sinitta
He's so Macho with his silly unbuttoned shirts but it's not put Sinitta off. This romance blossomed in the '80s and while Sinitta hints they've always enjoyed a "close" relationship things have changed since Cowell became a father for the first time. He's settled with Lauren Silverman – the couple even made Sinitta the godmother of baby Eric.
ENEMIES! Lauren Goodger and Mark Wright
They were the hottest couple in Essex but their long term relationship suffered as Mark Wright and Lauren Goodger balanced their privacy with fame. More recently, Mark - who is engaged to soap star Michelle Keegan - slammed Lauren for constantly talking about his new romance in interviews. He fumed: "Its been well over 2 years and it still continues. I find it so disrespectful to myself but more importantly, my fiancé. Be a proper woman. Please leave me out of your public conversations, stop embarrassing yourself. Start having some respect and MOVE ON."
FRIENDS! Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr
The ridiculously good looking couple of Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom were married for two years and have a son together. They made the mutual decision to split and use every interview opportunity to gush about the other. Which is nice, isn't it?

In response to new regulations on UK porn, dozens of protestors met outside Parliament today, for sign holding, singing, and a whole lot of face-sitting.
In case you missed it, the government made a bunch of amendments to the UK's laws regarding pornography last week, and it was met with quite a bit of outrage. Effectively, the changes banned a long list of sexual acts, ranging from spanking and whipping to, bizarrely, face-sitting, which was deemed to be a "life-endangering activity". Because, you know, you're always hearing about people dying from oral sex.
Included in the banned acts were, however, a lot of things to do with violence - which everyone seems to be all for the banning of.
What really got people riled up - aside from the whole policing of people's sexuality and the right of consenting adults to have fun sexual times - was the fact that the new laws seem unfairly targeted at women's pleasure. Female ejaculation, for example, is banned, but male ejaculation is not.
And, so, today a bunch of people formed a protest outside parliament, headed up by sex worker and activist Charlie Rose. She lead protesters into a mass face-sit (with clothes on) to show that the people will not be silenced, apart from momentarily, when someone is sitting on their face.
Some people came prepared with snorkels, to save them from the TERRIFYING risk of suffocation. Look at this poor guy. Fighting for his life. The horror.
There was also a great deal of leather, whips, and all the other fun stuff related to S&M - a sexual preference that has been heavily targeted by the new legislation. In a positive effort to reduce the amount of violence depicted in pornography, the new laws restrict the inclusion of strangulation, fisting, and caning, all of which are things that, when consensual, are enjoyed by many as part of a healthy sex life. Many people want to continue being able to see these act in pornography - hence turning up to protest wearing latex and armed with whips.
After loads of yelling about 'yes to squirting', holding up signs with David Cameron's face on them, and singing about and enacting a ton of face-sitting, the protest was all finished up for the day. We'll have to wait and see if it had any effect, other than producing some truly superb photos and, potentially, the world's largest ever mass face-sit.

|Karen Woodward Sarrow, Mountainous, Acrylic and ink on linen, 48 x 84"
Sarrow begins her paintings by drawing black lines to capture natural movement, the expressive contours of life and human design, as well as a conscious recognition to grief embedded in our world. She then completes the paintings with flat colors.
|Karen Woodward Sarrow, Blue Earth, Acrylic and ink on canvas, 40 x 40"
An environmental activist, Sarrow roots her paintings in the impact of humanity's carbon footprint on the globe, with images ranging from topics of socio-economic inequality to environmental racism. To this end, Blue Earth is, at its core, an exhibition on the art of observation, with the artist finding solace and inspiration in her ability to educate and communicate through her craft. Science and art both facilitate dialogue by way of surveillance, with this exhibition acting as an intersection for both disciplines.
|Karen Woodward Sarrow, Blue Butterflies, Acrylic and ink on canvas, 48 x 24"
Sarrow has been formally influenced by the work of muralist painters and modernist Max Beckman, using English pop artist Patrick Caulfield's work to inform her ongoing experimentation with color placement and spatial relationships. Her canvases are filled with images of a healthy blue earth but also sickly blue animals, using color to portray idealism as well as a sense of wrongness and mourning.
|Karen Woodward Sarrow, Keep It In the Ground, Acrylic and ink on board, 40 x 16"
Blue Earth is a show designed to inspire love and action for clean water and air by way of translating the sometimes-intangible concepts and magnitude of environmental safety and translating its message via visual language. Sarrow invites you to feel, to question, to engage, and lastly, to act.
Blue Earth is on exhibit until January 21.

Had some footage and made this .."thing" :
A few weeks on the road and only one blog? I better catch up.
Burton European Open was amazing. I felt like I was on summer camp or something, cruising around in my hoodie and tanning in a tank top. Couldn't have been any better. The course was really fun and creative and it was inspiering to see the riding that went down at this event! Qualifications was rough, only 5 girls out of 30 went through, and I was happy to put down a good first run which placed me 4th into the semi finals!:)
Unfortunately I couldn't quite repeat that in semis and fell in both my runs, so no finals for me.
The girls were killing it in finals in the sun. Seemed like they all really enjoyed the course:) Just check out the winning run of Jamie Anderson:
Enni rode sick too, her run placed her in 2nd :
On the guys side it was a battle to the end. When you thought it couldn't get any better, guy after guy landed the sickest runs. The podium changed all the time making it really exciting to watch. Norway's ripper Aleksander Østereng pulled the longest straw and put down a breathtaking last run. Check it out and enjoy:
After this great event I was inspired and ready to hit the road again. Zurich-New York: US. Open next! I tried out a new setting on my camera, pretty cool:
Silvia, Kjersti and me enjoying some Apres´ in pink
Kari, Frode, Marte and Silje looking sweet in red.
Charlotte playing with her new gloves.
Tricia and Lesley watching slope finals, looking good in blue!
The pretty ones fits all the colors, Kari and Marte looking sweet in purple.

Performing Arts
Curriculum Overview
Atrium School's Performing Arts program uses creative drama as a tool to give students a foundation in performance skills, to explore the many applications of theatre to other subject areas such as literature and history, and to foster in each student a sense of creativity and collaboration. The cumulative curriculum grows from a focus on character creation and storytelling in the lower school to an emphasis on ensemble, improvisation, and individual interpretation in the middle school. The curriculum as a whole uses story as a lens through which every student can engage with drama – whether jumping inside the stories of our favorite author, living out the stories of characters we have invented, or taking on a story by one of the most famous storytellers of all, Shakespeare. The goal of the program is that, through creative drama and performance, students further develop their confidence, teamwork, sense of play, pride in accomplishment, individual creativity, group work skills, and, above all, empathy.
Theatre for Readers: Kindergarten - Grade 3
The Theatre for Readers program is Atrium students' first introduction to theater and its many wonderful applications. Each grade spends one week exploring the works of a favorite author selected by the classroom teachers – from Dr. Seuss to Eric Carle to Oliver Jeffers – through creative drama and story dramatization. Students will work as a team of actors to explore and tell these stories using their bodies, voices, and imaginations, as they learn about the fundamentals of creating characters onstage. Each grade's week will culminate in a short performance that can be presented to the school at Friday morning assembly.
Literature Play Project: Grades 4 - 5
The Literature Play Project springs directly from the exploration of a read-aloud book, and involves the class adapting the book into a performance piece. Adapting a work of fiction into a work of theatre is a hands-on way for the students to immerse themselves both in their reading of the novel and in an introduction to performance. The combination of literature and drama are especially fruitful for the students developing empathy with the characters, imagining what they may be thinking and feeling. The process of adaptation allows the students an in-depth forum to explore elements of writing and reading such as point of view, dialogue, dramatic action, and story structure. This project brings the novel to life for the students, allowing them to engage in the story from many new perspectives – playwright, actor, director, and designer!
Performing Arts Clusters: Grades 6 - 8
In the Performing Arts Cluster, middle school students participate in an extended process drama that explores a theme, concept, or historical event. Over the course of two weeks, students develop detailed characters with specific relationships and backstories and, through a mix of improvisation, scene planning, tableaux, and other theatrical structures, they explore and create the stories of these characters from the inside-out as an ensemble. Students then construct a performance piece using the material they created during the process drama. The Performing Arts Cluster is an ensemble-driven experience that not only solidifies the students' performance skills such as sustaining and committing to believable, multi-dimensional characters, but also challenges students to collaborate as a team to make decisions that determine the outcome of their story.
Shakespeare: Grade 8
This ELA/Performing Arts unit thrusts our 8th grade students into the rich and wonderful world of Shakespeare's Macbeth. Through the combination of ELA discussions and assignments with Performing Arts exercises and concepts, the students are completely immersed in Shakespeare's story and characters. Each student has the chance to analyze and perform a monologue from the play, to re-write scenes in modern contexts, to improvise as the characters and explore their complex and convoluted arcs, and more. The unit focuses on the agency of each actor, reader, and director to interpret the play differently, and culminates in a group project in which students must develop a 'concept' for a specific scene in the play, justify their choices in a 'director's note,' produce their scene using design elements, and perform it for the class.
Middle School Musical Theatre
The middle school's After-School Musical Theatre program provides students who the unique opportunity to perform in a full-length musical! Students in this program focus on detailed scene work, learn and create choreography, further their musicianship skills, develop distinct characters through their body and voice, and, above all, work as an ensemble to present the musical in front of the whole school community.

Getting To Know The People Next Door
It used to be that, when neighbors moved in, the welcoming committees would swoop down on their doorstep with cakes, cookies and smiles. Now, especially in apartment complexes where people come and go frequently, this is often not the case. Families who take the initiative to get to know the people in their community will find themselves with more social supports, camaraderie, and fun than they expect. The following tips give newcomers some great ways to meet their community members without the awkwardness.
Let The People in Your Neighborhood Eat Cake
New neighbors wont bring the cake to you? Bring it to them. Free food is a great way to introduce yourself and make a great lasting impression. Cakes don't have to be homemade or even cakes at all to get the point across. Some people bring pies, fruit bowls, veggies from the local market or even flowers. Choose the one that fits your personality best and the one that wont hurt your pocket book too much. Also keep in mind that, with the rising instance of food allergies in the state today, baking desserts may not be your best if you truly want someone to enjoy a gift.
Host an Event
Barbecue, anyone? How about a wine and cheese tasting? Maybe a build-your-own sundae party in the front yard? If it's fall, you could host a Halloween-themed or costume-making event. The possibilities are endless when it comes to hosting fun, no-pressure parties that people actually want to attend. Consider the age groups and demographics of your new neighbors and try to pick something that will appeal to everyone. A pool party may not be the best option if you have older neighbors, but a nice dinner party or even a card game could be. Likewise, young children would enjoy an event with games that don't need to be too closely supervised. This way, parents can talk with one another and get to know you without worrying about their children. Hosting a party is a great way to say that you're there to add to the neighborhood fun. Just be sure to be respectful of those directly next-door by letting them know the party first.
Volunteer and Join
Volunteer to serve on communities for school events, homeowner's societies and spots or a charity is a wonderful way to meet like-minded people and do something good for everyone in the area. Check out the local office calendar of events or go online to search for fun and exciting ways to get involved. Your future relationships and the community will benefit.
Local Records Office is an organization that creates customer reports regarding specific properties in terms of their value, transaction history, and more. As a result, the company has proven itself as an integral resource within the real estate field for both homebuyers and homeowners who need to know the true value of a specific piece of property and details regarding the surrounding community. Each report is produced by compiling data collected from both federal and county offices and reflects a wide range of topics, including educational opportunities, criminal activity, demographics, foreclosure activity, and more.

I stood in the airport, my eyes so full of tears that I could barely see my six-month-old grandson's face as I bent to kiss him one last time. My son, an air force career man, was being sent to Turkey, and he was taking his wife and baby with him. "He won't know me when you get back to the States," I said brokenly.
"Now, Mom," my son tried to comfort me. "It won't take you long to get reacquainted."
"How?" I wailed. "He won't even be able to understand a thing I say." I was referring to my heavy southern accent, which would be almost like a foreign language to little Damon when they returned in three years.
As the weeks passed, my self-pity turned into fierce determination. I would find a way to make a bond between me and my little grandson, no matter how many miles or how many oceans might stand between us. I bought a children's picture book, a blank cassette tape and a disposable camera.
I popped the blank cassette into the recorder and read the picture book aloud, using the same tone of voice and accents I would use if reading to a child. When I finished the story, I spoke a few words to Damon, ending with, "Always remember that Grandma loves you very much."
I had some friends take some snapshots of me doing routine, grandmotherly things such as baking and working in my flower beds. It was a friend who came up with the brilliant idea of including a picture of me reading the book in front of the recorder. When the pictures were developed, I sent the best ones, along with the book and the cassette, to my son and his wife.
I asked them to play the recording to Damon while they turned the pages of the book for him. I also asked them to show him the pictures of Grandma whenever they read this particular book to him.
A couple of months later, I bought another book, another blank cassette, another disposable camera and repeated the process. Every few months Damon would receive a new story package from Grandma. By the time he was a toddler, my son reported, at bedtime he would often demand a story "from Grandma across the ocean."
It was an inexpensive way to keep Damon familiar with my face and my southern drawl. And it created a wondrous, strong bond between us even though there were many miles and months separating us.
Almost three years later, I stood nervously in the airport, waiting for my son and his family to disembark. Would Damon recognize his Grandma in the flesh and blood? Thus far, I had merely been a funny voice on a cassette tape and a face in a snapshot.
They came through the gate, Damon clutching his mother's hand. He saw me first. Breaking away from my daughter-in-law, he ran toward me, crying out exuberantly, "It's Grandma!" I stooped to catch him in my arms. He looked up at me, little face beaming. "You're my Grandma!" he exclaimed. He grabbed my hand and began to pull me toward his parents. "It's Grandma! Grandma! Grandma!"
The word tugged at my heart and warmed my soul. I would never, ever tire of hearing it.

Sarah Michelle Gellar has worn a shocking Monique L'huiller gown to the 6th Annual Golden Globes in Los Angeles.
The actress' dress is technically on trend – and nods to spring/summer 2012 fashion's love affair with all things aquamarine.
In fact, fishtail detail gowns are big news on the 2012 Golden Globes red carpet with Kelly Osbourne and Elle Macpherson all slinging on similar designs.
Actress Sarah Michelle told onlookers that her husband Freddie Prinze, Jr is staying home for the night, preferring to "watch football on TV."
Blue seems to be the go-to shade for this year's red carpet pack while Zooey Deschanel and Maria Menounos are spearheading the sequin trend.

Create your first Pull Request and contribute to Open Source Project*
As an "alien" to open source and coding, I found it very hard to start.
As an "alien" to open source and coding, I found it very hard to start. There are some resources online that were aimed at beginners, but even those started at too high of a level. In this talk, I will take a tech noob and walk you through everything you need to know about open source, and how to contribute your first pull request to this amazing movement and community!
I will also touch on how to create an inclusive environment on your open source project for beginners, as a open source project/community manager. A seasoned contributor or manager would learn a lot about how to make sure they are supportive of noobs, and have an inclusive and encouraging environment for them to flourish and contribute.
Speaking experience
I've spoken at meetups, in webinars and at trainings.

Halloween: Still More Random Commercials
Here's one for Woolworth's Halloween costumes from 1978. I was 2 years old that year; not sure if I would have been wearing a costume or not. Only my mother has the photographic evidence...
I don't know the year of this Dunkin' Donuts commercial, but I remember it being on. I want to eat everyone of these! Control, Aaron... control.
And finally, a great, short Kmart commercial. (I'm a little weirded out that my spell check recognizes "Kmart.") I don't remember if I ever saw this one, either (so many commercials you see, how many really stick?), but it's obviously pretty recent. It's charming as hell, though.
Next week, 2011's final round of Halloween commercials.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Season Four
I'm just going to come out and say that I found this season very uneven. Not that there isn't some truly great stuff here, but after the tight build-up of the previous season I think there's some loss of focus and momentum here.

Happy Birthday, Carl!
My friend Carl is 35 years old today. Just the other day I ran across this picture of us at our Confirmation. I can't even remember when this was... Junior high? Having fun, as always. What I remember most about the day is that I wore sneakers with my fancy clothes, and Carl commenting, half-admonishingly, half-impressed, "You are the King of Casual."

East Central Florida Regional Planning Council Partners with mySidewalk
Council provides partners with powerful data resource to enhance local communities.
Kansas City, MO. May 1, 2017
Today, mySidewalk announced its partnership with the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council (ECFRPC), a regional agency of local governments serving seven counties in East Central Florida. The Council plans to use mySidewalk to enhance the services they provide to their partner agencies and communities.
"mySidewalk is a 'one-stop shop' for a lot of the data we use on a daily basis, such as health, safety and accessibility data. It saves a lot of time and resources and provides new ways of looking at the information," said Tara McCue, director of planning and community development at ECFRPC. "We are excited that we can now provide this service to the organizations we work with."
"We are excited that we can now provide this service to the organizations we work with," said McCue.
The Council works with jurisdictions across seven counties as well as other partners, such as the Department of Transportation (DOT), health departments and other agencies in the region. Currently, the Council is working with mySidewalk to provide partners with land use and community data—such as community walkability—so that the organizations they serve can use the information to bolster decision making surrounding corridor projects and economic development.
Many of the organizations that the Council partners with also need data in order to make cases for grants, budget approvals and other funding opportunities—and McCue is looking forward to providing partners with the data they need to secure that funding.
More about ECFRPC

The 31 Council members represent the counties, the League of Cities in each county and gubernatorial appointees. The Council provides a forum where members and leaders can discuss complex regional issues and set regional goals and objectives.

The always plush Omnibus is leaving the station, constant reader and you've got a window seat for all the action. There is a snow owl airbrushed on the side of the bus, refreshments have been provided and "Fly By Night" is blasting from the speakers. So grab the last empty seat next to Rutherford and we'll take a short tour of Owl country. We will discover together what our warm and embracing community can do with the beloved nocturnal bird of prey, in its many inspiring forms.
Our first stop is in Canada, to view the rarely seen owl in flight. One look at the the photo and you can tell you're not in the company of the average paste-eating mankinder. This is the work of renown Montreal LEGO artist Ekow Nimako. You can read a pretty informative interview with Ekow here, which profiles not only this "Silent Knight" commission from 2015 but also his earlier work and background. I dove into his catalogue of pictures and didn't come out of the trance for about 20 minutes. You can expect an article on more of Mr. Nimako's work somewhere down the line, for there is indeed much to explore. For now enjoy two of Ekow's investigations of the common barn owl, which are anything but common, including a construction video of Silent Knight.
Let's stay off the perch and in flight with good friend of the Manifesto, Jordan Schwartz and his "Owlet" from 2010. At the time of posting, the use of non ABS LEGO products like cloth capes and Ewok glider-wings was very unorthodox and drew many exclamations of N.P.U. from appreciative viewers. The eyes and banana-beak are very striking and somehow the build still looks fresh 6 years and 10,000 hits later.
Now let's switch gears entirely and examine some mechano-owls like this eye-catching "Cyber Owl" from the ever reliable and always original, Mihai Marius Mihu. I love the builder but I hate the name, it's just too difficult to say and impossible to type from memory. In my head I call him "Miti Mata Mulu", which isn't too cool. The build is very cool though, the trans-clear plates on the chest were a brilliant choice.

I love love love what I do. Yesterday I had a commercial gig in fountain valley, which is in Orange County, CA about an hour drive with LA traffic from where I live.
I had a call time of about 11 a.m., which gave me the morning to prepare my makeup kit, shower, get ready, eat some breakfast, and get on the road. Pretty exciting morning I do have to say. Lol
As I was going through my check list making sure I had all my favorite brushes, sponges , powder puff, Kleenex, and towel I was also doing my own makeup and hair and then I had to fly out the door.
I was surprised that it only took me about 54 min with traffic!!!! A great way to start the day.
When I got there I was told that we where doing 3 commercials in one day with the same spokesperson. This job is so exciting because you never really know what they are going to throw your way. My main concern was how the three commercials will look…. So I talk to John, who is the director, and asked what kind of look did he want for all three commercials.. We both came to the conclusion that it was going to be a simple, all natural makeup and simple curls for the hair. We didn't have to change the look because of the simplicity of using the same actress for all three commercials … We didn't have time to waste since we only had ONE day and THREE commercials to shoot!!!!
I had about two hours because of the delay within the studio time slots .. So this gave me enough time to do hair and makeup on Lana my actress.
I decided to start with Lana's makeup first, then move to her hair.
I started out by first prepping the skin for the makeup with some MUD primer. Once that was all dried, I moved over to her eyes and I decided to do a natural brown eye on Lana. I started with two colors from crown brushes eye palette in order to cover the entire eye. I then used MUD senna eyeshadow on the crease of the eye making sure to blend it perfectly so no hard lines where visible. Then I mixed two MUD eye shadow colors together and placed it on top of the senna color on the crease. I had to make sure it was perfectly blended before the proceeded. The next two colors added were wheat and honeysuckle, which were placed on the highlight and inner corner of the eye to give the eye a soft look The last part of getting Lana's eyes make-up ready was adding the cakeliner, Mascara, and fake lashes.
To finish Lana's look I had to mix two color that matched Lana's skin perfectly. I used my Ve Neil foundation brush and a sponge. Once the foundation was dry … I worked my way up the contour of her face. First the cheek bones with some MUD bronzer called sunshine, then I placed this right under the cheek bone and brushed up, then I added the cream blush as a highlight on top of the cheek bone. Blending is the key y'all make sure that there aren't any harsh lines!!!! Than I set Lana's makeup with buttercream powder.Lastly for Lana's lips I used a light pink gloss called cupid.
This was one exhausting yet fun afternoon can't wait to do another commercial, show, or anything for that matter!!! Make-up is my life.
Thanks for reading,

Weakness of the left side of the heart is called systolic heart failure and causes a decrease in the amount of blood that is pumped to the body from the heart, explains WebMD. Causes include coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, hypertension, aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation, viral myocarditis and arrhythmia.
Coronary artery disease leads to systolic heart failure by causing a gradual decrease of blood flow to the heart muscle, according to WebMD. The decreased blood flow may occur for short periods of time or may be chronic. During these episodes, the heart tissue does not receive enough oxygen, and eventually, some of it becomes damaged. The heart slowly becomes weak and loses its ability to pump blood.
Mitral valve regurgitation causes back flow of blood into the left atrium each time the left ventricle contracts, explains WebMD. With each contraction the left ventricle receives extra blood from the left atrium from the backflow and has to contract harder. The left ventricle dilates over time to accommodate the extra blood, which causes the stretching and weakening of the heart muscle.
Another common cause of systolic heart failure is from a heart attack, during which blood supply to the heart is cut off and causes tissue damage or death, explains WebMD. When a large area of the heart is damaged from a heart attack it can lose its ability to normally pump blood to the body.
