In the weeks since street protests in Tunisia led to the ouster of Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali and demonstrations in Cairo deposed Hosni Mubarak, similar pro-democracy protests have erupted throughout the Arab world. It is perplexing that the American intelligence community and the Obama administration appeared to be surprised by how rapidly the unrest spread from Tunisia to Egypt and now to Bahrain and Libya.
Why is it difficult for U.S. intelligence agencies to foresee the strength of these movements? What factors prevent such intelligence from influencing American diplomacy?Read the Discussion »

hair today, gone tomorrow
But yes, I'm here for today.
Only because I had some people asking for a post about my hair. And by some, I mean 1. (Hi Sarah!) It was peer pressure, man. I felt so pressured to post this. So after a day of school, archery practice, baking, and shopping, I took pictures of my hair and uploaded them and even made a freakin' 300+ frame GIF. Three hundred goddamn frames. I think my computer system now has PTSD.
So yeah. Hope you enjoy ;)
Now that I got that picture out of the way, shall we continue?
My hair has always been fine. I'm talking baby soft, can't-even-hold-a-bobby-pin, braids-thin-as-sticks fine. Over the years I've come to enjoy it. Especially after a brief stint with Biotin. Shudder.
So I don't use a lot of products on my hair. I wash it at night, and let it dry overnight. I use:
The BedHeads were a duo I bought at Costco for $20. It smells like pineapples. I love pineapples.
The John Frieda I use to 'brighten' my hair a bit. I'm definitely not a blonde, but I feel that this makes my hair a bit more golden. This smells like melons and chamomile.
The red John Frieda I use as a deep conditioner. It makes my hair sssoooo sssooofffttt and it smells like Abercrombie perfume. Not that I own any.. or anything.. arg.
Do you like my condescending face? Yeah, me either. It looks like this most of the time.
I brush/style my hair in the morning. I touch a blowdryer maybe once a year. A flat iron more often. And a curling iron the most. I found this Zoe clampless iron at my TJ Maxx for around $15. It came with 3 interchangeable barrels, each different sizes. I love it.
My hair color is another thing. I don't really do anything with it. When I was younger I dabbled in semi-permanent dyes. But I stopped when Christian told me he preferred natural over any other color. So I made peace.
It wasn't even that hard. My hair is magical in the sunlight. It almost looks like gold.
Length wise, my hair is pretty long. It often doesn't feel that way because of the fine texture of it, but it goes past the, uh, boob region. Texture wise, I've never considered my hair to have much of a texture. I always called it 'nothing' textured. It wasn't straight, wavy, or curly. It still isn't. These pictures after after a day of playing with my hair, tossing it into topknots, ponytails, and buns, 2 bike rides, and many ends of archery. So don't be fooled.
I guess I have a natural ombre thing going on. Sweet.
And Sarah asked for a kitty. Here you go. Though I must warn you, cuteness can kill...
Anyways. Posting 2 days in a row is having its toll on me. I need to go hibernate for another month.
See you later!

So ever since I found out there was a difference between the Nivea Creme sold in the US and the one sold in Germany I knew I wanted to try the German made one. The one sold in the US is made in Mexico and supposedly isn't as good as the original. This creme is a household staple in most European households and is sold in all the German supermarkets since 1911. Since I live in Germany I thought I would take advantage of that.
Nivea Says:
NIVEA Cream - The unsurpassed skin care for every skin type.It gives your skin everything it needs to stay pure, fresh and well maintained. Free of preservatives makes NIVEA Cream skin care even more natural .Available in 30ml, 75ml, 150ml, 250ml and 400ml can and 100ml in the practical tube.
Skin compatibility dermatologically approved .
Recommendations :
Depending on your individual skin care needs, you can NIVEA Cream as desired for the face , hands and especially tough for the body (eg knees , elbows , feet ) use .
Aqua , Mineral Oil, Microcrystalline Cera , Glycerin , Lanolin Alcohol, Paraffin , Panthenol, Decyl Oleate, Octyldodecanol , Aluminum Stearate, Citric Acid, Magnesium Sulfate , Magnesium Stearate , Parfum , Limonene , Geraniol, hydroxycitronellal, linalool , citronellol, benzyl benzoate, Cinnamyl Alcohol
I do think that it would be nice in the winter but I'm just not THAT impressed with it. I'd much rather use shea butter. But it was fun and inexpensive to try. Maybe one day I'll try the one made in Mexico and see if there is any difference. For now I've got my eye on the Soft version though. Are you a fan of Nivea? Ever used the cream?

If possible I always prefer a face to face introduction with the couple before the wedding if possible. That's not always the case, sometimes a phone call or a Facetime will have to do but in the case of Jill and Alex we were able to sit down and have lunch together. I don't mean this with any bias but immediately they felt like old friends I was catching up with rather than new people I was acquainting myself to. We talked about their relationship for a bit, some more wedding details and then it was mostly joking around. Even the day of the wedding I felt like I was a guest rather than an employee of the day. That's just who these two are, they are friendly, warm, inviting and really honest people. You can see that honesty in the way they interact with each other, the happiness they had to finally be married to each other after 18 years of knowing each other. I'll stop yapping but I do want to end with the funniest moment of the luncheon was when Alex excused himself from the table Jill said jokingly to me "yea so I married the bad boy from college." Love these two!
Cheers to Jill and Alex!

Have you ever painstakingly set a lovely table only to see the dog jump up on it and start licking the turkey? Is the day ruined? Do you scream bloody murder, beat the dog, and sink into a puddle of disastrously dashed dreams?
Or it is possible you could wash off the turkey and stick it under the broiler for a few minutes? I mean really, we don't have to let things get destroyed. We can fix what we can fix and we can enjoy the rest of the meal. Why let those lovely mashed potatoes go to waste? Why let the perfectly seasoned stuffing for which you chopped onions and celery for an hour be spoiled? And what about the lovely cranberry sauce that only makes one sensational appearance a year? Does it have to be trashed too?
I say, wash off the turkey and keep going. Crap happens. Such is life. We don't have to let it conquer us.
God has mercy on us, shouldn't we have mercy on ourselves? God gives us second chances, why don't we extend that grace to ourselves? I think we beat ourselves up far more than our loving Heavenly Father ever does or would. Jesus already died for our sins, He doesn't need to punish us to make His point.
But what we do have to do is repent and accept His forgiveness… even if we know we don't deserve it. And let's face it, we really don't deserve it. But the good news is, the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning, and great is His faithfulness.
He is faithful, even when we're not. He is there when the dog licks the turkey. He is there when we drop the gravy boat and it shatters and we drop a verbal bomb. He is there when we burn the biscuits.
He is always there, lovingly picking us up and pushing us along, making our crooked way straight and wrapping us in His tender mercy. He doesn't throw us out when we mess up, let's try doing it His way.

Masterfully paced and wondrously prescient, here is a cautionary tale where colorful characters battle both man and nature in trying to save the planet from a combination of the two. Equal parts Clive Cussler and Michael Crichton, it is a terrific story that charges out of the gate and speeds in relentless fashion to a wholly satisfying finish." –Jon Land, bestselling author of Strong Rain Falling

Recessed lighting housing
A recessed lighting unit for supporting an energizing lamp adapted to fit into an electrical socket using a housing. The electrical socket and lamp are mounted in the housing. The housing includes an opening for the passage of light from the lamp to the area to be illuminated. A source of power runs to the socket through a wireway. A heat protection mechanism interrupts the flow of electrical power to the lamp and socket upon the generation of excess heat in the vicinity of the housing. The heat protection mechanism is mounted immediately adjacent the housing in the wireway and forms a structural unit with the housing and a junction box.
Latest Prescolite, Inc. Patents:
The present invention relates to a novel and useful recessed lighting unit.
Recessed lighting fixtures offer the advantage of being unobtrusive while functioning to illuminate areas with a variety of lighting effects. Recessed lighting equipment can be easily installed in new construction situations where supporting beams and wiring are accessible. Recessed lighting can also be installed in existing structures when desired.
Recessed lighting fixtures must also possess the ability to dissipate heat generated by its lamp. In addition, it is desirable to interrupt the source of the heat produced by the lamp, i.e. the electrical power, when excess heat is generated by the lamp.
It is also desirable to have recessed lighting fixtures which are easy to mount in a ceiling or wall and accessible for wiring, inspection, re-lamping and the like. The flexibility and appearance changes as a necessary element in recessed lighting systems.
A recessed lighting unit that solves these problems would be an advance in the lighting industry.
In accordance with the present invention a novel and useful recessed lighting unit is provided.
The recessed lighting unit of the present invention includes a housing having means for mounting the electrical lamp and socket. Such a housing would include an opening for the passage of light therethrough which emanates from the lamp therewithin. The housing would also have means for mounting the lamp and socket and for the accomodation of certain trims for determining the type of lighting effect desired.
The recessed lighting unit would also have means for providing electrical power to the lamp and socket within the housing. Such means might include a junction box of conventional configuration as well as electrical wires leading from the junction box to the housing. The unit of the present invention would also include thermal protector or thermoprotector means which would detect heat in the vicinity of the housing and interrupt the electrical power to the same if the temperature exceeded a certain preset value. The thermoprotector means would be mounted adjacent the housing and could include a container for the thermoprotector means. The container could be made of a rigid material and slidingly engage a slot in the housing. The container might form part of a structural unit with the housing and junction box. In addition, the container may include a tab which is capable of extending along a portion of the housing and adjacent to the same next to the slot. The tab may be resiliently fixed to the container to produce a spring effect which would ease the assembly of the housing, junction box, and container forming the structural unit.
The recessed lighting unit may also have a door which is hingedly attached to the housing at one end portion and latched to the housing at another end portion. The latching means may include providing the housing with an opening through the same and connecting a spring element to the door in a projecting configuration. The spring element may include a bent portion which is capable of occupying the opening through the housing. Thus, the latching mechanism would be accessible and operable from inside and outside the housing.
The recessed lighting unit also includes a hangar mechanism which is useable relative to a pair of beams. The mechanism may embrace a pair of elongated members movable in relation to one another. Means would be provided for supporting the pair of elongated members to the housing without impairment of the relative movement between the elongated members. Each of the elongated members would include a shaft and an end portion having an end piece fixed at an angle to the shaft. A lip would also be fixed to the end piece at an angle to the same. Means would be provided for fastening each of the elongated members to each of the beams. Such means for fastening the elongated members to the beams may include forming the end piece as a split member having a first and second portion. The first portion of the split member could be bent into a first and second section such that the first section has an end portion capable of penetrating any of the beams. In addition, the end piece could include an opening therethrough to accommodate a fastener, such as a nail, screw, and the like.
It may be apparent that a novel and useful recessed lighting unit has been described.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a recessed lighting unit which includes a protection mechanism against overheating due to the dissipation of heat from a lamp which will only interrupt the flow of power to the lamp under conditions where an abnormal amount of heat is generated by the lamp.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a recessed lighting unit which includes a mechanism for interrupting the flow of power to the lamp which forms parts of the structural framework for the recessed lighting unit.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a recessed lighting unit which may be easily and inexpensively manufactured and assembled.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a recessed lighting unit which permits access to the same for the purposes of re-lamping, replacement of trim components, inspection of junction box wiring, and the like.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a recessed lighting unit which may be easily mounted between a pair of beams in a uniform manner.
The invention possesses other objects and advantages especially as concerns particular characteristics and features thereof, which will become apparent as the specification continues.
FIG. 1 is a top plan view of the unit.
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line 2--2 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line 3--3 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line 4--4 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along line 5--5 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along line 6--6 of FIG. 1.
For a better understanding of the invention, reference is made to the following detailed description which should be referenced to the hereinabove described drawings.
Various aspects of the present invention will evolve from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments thereof which should be taken in conjunction with the hereinabove described drawings.
The invention as a whole is represented in the drawings by reference character 10. The recessed lighting unit 10 includes as one of its elements a housing 12, FIGS. 1-5. Housing 12 may be formed into the rectangular solid configuration shown in the drawings using progressive die manufacturing techniques. Housing 12 may be constructed of metal or any other material which meets the particular standards set by the electrical authority. With reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, it may be seen that housing 12 encloses an electrical lamp 14 and socket 16 therefor. Means 18 mounts electrical lamp 14 and socket 16 to housing 12. Means 18 includes a pair of brackets 20 and 22, FIG. 5, which enclose torsion springs 24 and 26, respectively. Torsion springs 24 and 26 are held to base 28 by the use of fastening clips 30 and 32, FIGS. 3 and 5. A yoke 34 aids in the support of the socket 16 and lamp 14. A lens 36 removably fixes to base 28 and generally coincides with opening 38 and housing 12 which is intended to allow the passage of light emanating from lamp 14 to the area below which is to be illuminated. As shown in the drawings, housing 12 is recessed in relation to partition 40 which may be a ceiling, wall, and the like. Housing 12 also includes a locking seam 42 on the top portion 44 thereof.
Housing 12 structurally connects to junction box 46 via arms 48 and 50. Junction box 46 may include provision for cable 52 which provides electrical power from a source of power shown by the indicia on FIG. 1. The wires bringing power from the source are spliced in the conventional manner in junction box 46 and carried to housing 12 and lamp and socket 14 and 16 therein via wires 54 and 56. Junction box 46 may also have a plurality of knockout covers 58 and a pair of side covers 60 and 62, FIGS. 1, 2, and 4. Unit 10 also includes as one of its elements thermoprotector means 64 for detecting heat in the vicinity of housing 12 and interrupting electrical power from the power source falling through wires 54 and 56. Thermoprotector means 64 would perform its function at a selected temperature produced by heat radiating from lamp 14 within housing 12. Thermoprotector 64 may take the form of a bimetal strip such as the Model No. M-13D manufactured by Portage Electric of Akron, Ohio. Means 66 mounts thermoprotector means 64 adjacent to housing 12. As may be seen from FIGS. 1, 2 and 5, housing 12 is provided with slot 68 on one side thereof. A container or wireway 70 guides wires 54 and 56 from junction box 46 to the interior of housing 12. Wireway 70 also encloses thermoprotector means 64 and positions the same adjacent housing 12 by the use of protrusions 72 and 74, FIG. 5. Thus, thermoprotector means 64 is always positioned in the same place in relation to housing 12 which is of great importance to reproduce shut-off results in unit 10. Wireway 70 also includes an element 76 which slidingly engages housing 12 in the vicinity of slot 68. Side portions 78 of wireway 70 and tab 80 of element 76 sandwich the edges 82 and 84 of housing 12 surrounding slot 68. It should be noted that tab 80 may extend beyond the end of slot 86 toward lamp 14. Thus, wireway 70 may be moved away from lamp 16 a certain distance such that tab 80 covers slot 68, FIG. 2. Wireway 70 also includes means 88 for connecting wireway 70 to junction box 46. Such means includes the provision of an extension 90 which may be fastened to plate 92 using fastening means 94, FIG. 5. Flange 96 overlaps the end of junction box 46 to enclose wires 54 and 56 at the conflux of junction box and wireway 70. Extension 90 may also be used to provide a place of attachment 98 for a ground wire (not shown), if desired. It may be apparent that the sliding engagement of element 76 of wireway 70 in combination with means 88 for connecting wireway 70 to junction box 46 provides a structural unit in combination with arms 48 and 50. The sliding engagement of tab 80 with the side portion of housing 12 allows for size tolerances in wireway 70 as well as for thermal contraction and expansion of the elements of unit 10. Element 76 and tab 80 thereof amy also be resiliently attached to wireway 70 to provide a flexible or springy connection between wireway 70 and housing 12. Tab 80 also conducts heat from interior of housing 12 for detection by theroprotector means 64.
Housing 12 also embraces the structure of door 100 which is similarly constructed in relation to door 102. Therefore, the following description of door 100 would equally apply to the construction of door 102. Door 100 includes a member 104 in the form of a plate in the embodiment shown on FIG. 5. Member 104 hingedly attaches to housing 12 at end portion 106. This may be accomplished by providing end portion 106 with a pair of ears 108 and 110 which fit in a pair of openings 112 and 114, respectively, FIG. 2. The other end 116 of member 104 includes means 118 for latching door 100 to housing 12. Means 118 may include providing housing 12 with an opening 120 therethrough. A spring element 122 is fastened to door 100 and projects therefrom. Spring element 122 may include a vent or looped portion 124 which is capable of occupying opening 120 of housing 12. It may be apparent that door 100 may be opened by applying pressure to spring element 122 from the outside of housing 12. This may be especially useful after unit 10 has been placed in ceiling 40 to gain access to the area surrounding housing 12, FIG. 5. Doors 100 or 102 may be temporarily brought to the inside of housing 12 while work is being performed on junction box 46.
In addition, unit 10 may also provide for a hangar mechanism 126 which may be employed in relation to a pair of beams 128 and 130. Hangar mechanism 126 may include a pair of elongated members 132 and 134 and a pair of elongated members 136 and 138. The following description will focus on the functioning of elongated members 132 and 134 of hangar mechanism 126 and may be deemed to be applicable to the functioning of elongated members 136 and 138, which are similarly constructed.
Turning to FIG. 1, it may be seen that elongated members 132 and 134 are used in conjunction with means 140 for supporting the pair of elongated members to housing 12. Cleats 142, 144, 146, and 148 serve to confine elongated members 132 and 134 in sliding engagement with one another adjacent housing 12. As shown in FIG. 1, member 132 extends to beam 128 while elongated member 134 extends to beam 130. Each elongated member is identically constructed, using elongated member 132 as an exemplar, to include a shaft 150 in the form of a bar having two portions angularly attached to one another (most clearly shown on FIG. 4 in relation to elongated members 134 and 138). By this construction, the pairs of elongated members slide in relation to one another and are guided in this movement, FIG. 3. The end portion of elongated member 132 includes an end piece 152 fixed at an angle to shaft 150. Moreover, a lip 154 fixes at an angle to end piece 152, FIGS. 1 and 6. Elongated members, such as elongated member 132, also includes means 156 for fastening the same to beams 128 and 130. Means 156 may be formed such that end piece 152 is a split member having a first and second portion 158 and 160. First portion may be bent into a first and second section 162 and 164. First section 162 of first portion 158 may include an end portion 166, FIG. 1, which is capable of penetrating any of the beams 128 and 130. End piece 152 may include an opening 168 for guiding a fastener, such as nail 170 into beam 128.
In operation, unit 10 might be assembled by placing wires 54 and 56 through wireway 70 in connecting socket 16 at one end thereof. Wireway 70 is then connected to housing 12 by the use of means 66 and in the embodiment shown in the drawings, element 76 slidingly engaging the sides of slot 68 of housing 12. The other end of wireway 70 would be affixed to junction box 46 by the use of fastener 94 which would connected extension 90 and plate 92 in adjacent configuration. Unit 10 may then be placed between beams 128 and 130 using hanger mechanism 126 such that the lip 154 of end piece 152 of elongated member 132 and similar lips of elongated members 134, 136, and 138, fit under beams 128 and 130. This accurately positions unit 10 as a recessed lighting fixture. Power can then be brought to junction box 45 via cable 52 and splice to wires 54 and 56 in the conventional manner. Side covers 60 and 62 may then be employed to enclose junction box 46. Likewise, doors 100 and 102 may be used to close housing 12 leaving opening 38 as the only opening of housing 12. Socket 16 may then be fastened to housing 12 using means 18, which includes the provision of placing torsion springs 24 and 26 in mounting brackets 20 and 22 after fastening the same to base 28 by the employment of fastening clips 30 and 32. Yoke 34 may also be employed by fastening the same to base 28. Lamp 14 may then be placed in socket 16 and lens 36 fastened to base 28 to complete the mounting of unit 10. Removal of lens 36 permits the changing of lamp 14 as desired. Doors 100 and 102 may be opened to gain access to the space immediately adjacent an outside of housing 12 including junction box 46.
While in the foregoing specification embodiments of the invention have been set forth in considerable detail for the purposes of making a complete disclosure of the invention, it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that numerous changes may be made in such details without departing from the spirit and principles of the invention.
1. A door used in conjunction with a housing including a wall portion forming an enclosure and possessing an entrance to the enclosure, the housing further including an opening through the wall portion, comprising:
- a. a member having a first end portion and a second end portion, said first end portion including means for hingedly attaching said first end portion to the housing at the entrance to the enclosure; and
- b. means for removably latching said second end portion of said member to the housing, said latching means comprising a spring element connected to and projecting from said second end portion of said member, said spring element having a bent portion capable of entering the housing wall portion opening from the inside of the housing enclosure, occupying the housing wall portion opening, and being accessible from the outside of the housing enclosure.

The payback period is the length of time required for an investment to pay for itself. The basic calculation used to arrive at an estimate of the payback period is to divide the cost of the investment by the annual returns. This simplified calculation can give people a rough figure, but usually the situation is a bit more complicated. The issue of the payback period is one among several things to be considered when making a new investment.
In a simple example of how this works, imagine a company buying a software product which is supposed to improve efficiency. The product costs 1,000 units of currency, but is supposed to save the buyer roughly 200 units of currency every year. The period of time required to break even is five years. At the end of the payback period, the product has paid for itself.
One issue with the payback period is that it does not consider profitability. If the software in the above example continues to work for five more years after it breaks even in cost, the company actually makes 1000 units of currency. This calculation also does not evaluate for what is known as the "time value of money," referencing the idea that a single unit of currency is usually worth more now than it will be in the future. This is the result of inflation and the fact that currency can earn interest; if a company spends 1000 currency units on something now, they will not be available to earn interest.
When making a payback period calculation, people can also be hindered by the fact that returns are rarely steady. In some years, the investment may pay off more of itself than others. This can complicate matters considerably, especially with investments which are unpredictable and volatile. For example, a plumber who purchases a new imaging camera might find that it pays for itself in six months, thanks to a series of jobs the camera was needed for, or that it takes two years because the camera isn't used that much in the first year and much more in the second.
Financial advisers can help people determine the probable payback period involved with an investment, and help people make informed purchasing decisions. Investments can include equipment, buildings, stocks, and numerous other purchases of goods, financial products, or services depending on the situation and the nature of the investor.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

How I style my hair on-the-go.
With the short 'do, I simply use a flat iron to style it. First, I prime my hair with a heat protector spray (I do this before using any hot tool on my hair). I concentrate on the ends to straighten out my hair. The trick is to make an inward C motion to tame the fly-aways and give your face a great frame. I'm currently using José Eber's Petite Series Flat Iron—it's so compact that I can literally bring it anywhere I go! It's the most convenient travel companion, and great for quick touch-ups as well. I finish it off with a texturizing spray to add volume!

In August, my best friend Danielle and I went to the beach to celebrate her birthday and I'm still sad it's over. Our favorite 30A restaurant is Caliza, so that's where we went for her birthday dinner. It's the most incredible poolside restaurant and every single detail is absolutely gorgeous. I wish you could tell from this adorable selfie of Danielle and I, but you can't.
Anyway, while we were there, we ordered the burrata toast with tomato jam and from that moment on, it was love. What is burrata you ask? It's a soft, fresh cheese made from mozzarella and cream. It has a texture like ricotta and it tastes like heaven. So when I got home, I tried to recreate it. And while I don't have an amazing poolside table to sit at with incredible chandeliers and a waitress with the most beautiful European accent, I did find some burrata cheese at Costco and I have a pretty cute dining room with a handsome husband to pour my Pellegrino. And I must say, my homemade version was pretty darn good.
It's just three ingredients, burrata cheese, tomato pesto and a delicious crusty bread of your choice. I lightly toast the bread, spread on a thin coat of tomato pesto and then add as much burrata as you like on top. I also like to sprinkle on some fresh ground pepper. It's simple as that!
So next time you're having your girlfriends over, whip this up in just a few minutes and be prepared to wow them.
Happy Monday!

The 20 VTX is the perfect compromise because it excels at everything. Its unique Malibu Cut Diamond Hull™ is tournament approved—so you get pro-level slalom wakes—but fill the ballast, drop the Power Wedge III and deploy Surf Gate for a wave you're not going to believe came off a 20-foot boat. Besides that, the 20 VTX trailers like a dream and fits in a standard garage. For families who want to do everything, this is the ultimate compromise.

RJ in the Courts
Since it's founding in 1907, The National Council on Crime and Delinquency (NCCD) spearheaded efforts to apply innovative research to policy and practice models within the criminal justice, juvenile justice, and child welfare systems. In Alameda County, CA, NCCD has developed and implemented a restorative juvenile diversion program--the goal of which is to reduce rates of incarceration and recidivism while promoting healing for the victims of crimes. Commenting on the beneficial outcomes of restorative justice within the criminal justice system, Sujatha Baliga--Senior Program Specialist for NCCD--had the following to say: "...in some ways, the state can even stand in sort of to remove power from victims at times, depending on the district attorney who's involved. But when victims actually get to be part of participatory dialogue and decision-making, it is an incredibly empowering experience"

I'm not sure exactly how to start this post so I'm just going to jump in. Every time I tried to start writing it just sounded so dramatic. I'm cancelling 12 Days of Christmas DIY early this year. I had good intentions with this series. I truly did. I started it last year and it was so much fun. I was hesitant this year because there was so much going on. Much of which I haven't even shared on this blog (see, dramatic). But I really love it and Mr. T encouraged me to do it. So I decided to go ahead with it.
But that was all before my current state -- staying in a dorm room with Mr. T and our pup while our stuff is scattered throughout various storage places.
My plan was to get everything all set and ready to go way ahead of time. That way when the crazy started I could still go ahead with the series. But that didn't work. So I've been trying really hard to keep it going. But yesterday I realized that all I'm really doing is pushing out content. I feel bad because I don't feel like it's my best work and I haven't even included any of my own DIYs (I honestly don't even know how I would attempt to do some DIY in a dorm room).
And after thinking about it, I realized that's definitely not something I want to do. Pushing out content totally goes against my policy as a blogger. I've always felt it was more important to have a few posts that I really put my heart and soul into rather than a million posts that I just threw together. So, instead of just than continuing to plow through and feeling like all I'm doing is fluff, I'm just going to end the series early.
See what I mean? It all sounds dramatic. But it's not. I mean it was. But it's not. And it's for a really good reason. A reason that I can officially talk about!
We officially bought a house, you guys! I still feel a little weird writing that because my brain hasn't fully caught on to the fact that it's true.
And while this news is so freaking exciting, it's been one wild ride.
We started looking back in early fall. We found one we loved. It was one of the first houses we looked at. A house that was actually picked by our realtor. When we looked at it something just felt so cozy about it. It felt like home to me and I really felt it was the house for us. Mr. T felt the same way, but in true Mr. T fashion he didn't want to jump the gun.
We looked at some more, but none of them held a candle to the one we fell in love with. So we made an offer and it was almost immediately accepted. We were thrilled. I swear Mr. T cried when he heard the news, but he says he didn't and I will believe him.
We started the mortgage process and things were going good. It looked like we were set to close within the time frame. Until the rug was totally pulled out from under us. We hit a little snag with Mr. T's pesky student loans since he's still working on his PhD. We went from smooth sailing to whatever is the total opposite almost over night. It literally took about three weeks or more to smooth out. There was actually a time when we weren't even sure if we were going to get the house. To say it consumed our lives is a total understatement.
If that wasn't enough, we also had to be out of the place we were living in with mama C on December 19 -- the day after the original day we were supposed to take ownership of the house. We tried to extend the date, but we weren't able to.
So there we were. Two-three weeks before we have to move out of our current place and with potentially no place to move into. I was frantic. I started looking into other options. You know, get a backup plan. But there wasn't a ton since we have mama C and her dog plus Mr. T and me and our pup. That's not a small order. And Rensselaer is a really small town.
Cue lots of crying and hyperventilating.
I also started the hunt to figure out where we were going to stay. And that just made the whole situation worse. Frankly, the idea of staying in a little hotel room with Mr. T, mama C, and two pups for a potentially long time kind of made my head explode. There would be so much murdering happening. And what would we do about food? The costs started to add up and it would take away so much of the money we saved for our home.
Cue some additional crying and hyperventilating. And cursing. Lots and lots of cursing.
Eventually things started to turn and it started to look good for the house. We didn't have any dates or anything, but getting the house was the most important thing. Mr. T arranged for us to stay on campus and mama C made arrangements with my bro. So we wouldn't be homeless and no murdering would be involved.
We moved out of our place last Saturday and even though it looked really good, things were still kind of in the air with the house. Somehow, in some sort of Christmas miracle we officially closed on the house Monday afternoon. We still don't know when we can officially move in though which means we're totally spending Christmas in a dorm. But we don't really have a bad set up here and my little crafty self has made it feel kinda homey in here. And we're getting the house so I feel pretty good about the rest.
And that brings us to today -- Christmas Eve. And we're still in the dorm room. When I said that I was excited for new holiday traditions with Mr. T this isn't what I had in mind. But we have a bed, a little sitting area with a TV from 1994, a decent fridge, our own bathroom, and a microwave. And Christmas movies. Later on we're going to grab some yummy food from a restaurant we love and probably spend our life's fortune in cheese to eat tomorrow. So I'm pretty excited. This will definitely be a Christmas to remember.
Next year though. Next year I'm going all out for Christmas, you guys. Like Clark Griswold all out (and if you don't get that reference, I don't want to know you).

Note: Click Here for photos and video clips from the Gettysburg Reenactment of 2012
The strategic location of Gettysburg led to the town's involvement in one of the most important and bloodiest battles of the Civil War. Coming to Gettysburg you should plan to stay more then just one day, if you want to explore the area's sights properly. The Gettysburg National Military Park, Lincoln Room Museum, Soldiers National Museum, American Civil War Museum, Eisenhower National Historic Site are just some of many attractions you can explore in the historic town.
The Gettysburg National Military Park virtually surrounds Gettysburg. The battlefield covers 25 square miles. You can walk on the field, take a guide tour or ride on one of the tour buses. The hotly contested Civil War battle was fought July 1-3, 1863. The result was 51,000 soldiers killed, wounded, captured or missing.
Civil War Video Channel:
93,000 men of The Federal Army of the Potomac under Major General George Meade, met the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia with about 75,000 soldiers under General Robert E. Lee. As a result of the battle Lee's army was shattered and defeated.
Historians have referred to the battle as a major turning point in the war.
On November 19, 1863, President Lincoln dedicated Gettysburg National Cemetery on the battlefield, making his most famous speech, the immortal Gettysburg Address. The cemetery contains more than 7,000 interments including more than 3,500 from the Civil War. You may be interested to visit The Lincoln Train Museum and/or the Lincoln Room Museum. This room with original furnishings is where Abraham Lincoln stayed in 1863 and completed his Gettysburg Address. Tourists like to have their photograph taken with a life-size bronze sculpture of Lincoln created by J. Seward Johnson right outside museum. Click Here for many travel photos!

Quince Paste
QUINCES ARE ONE OF the most exquisite fruits I know. Hanging on the tree in shades of yellow and green, the fruit look like Christmas decorations, and they emit a wonderful fragrance. I love the way they change from a soft, pale yellow to the deepest magenta as they cook. Ripe quinces remain hard, but bruise easily. Store them in a wire basket on the bench.
|700 ml
|1 kg
|Quince, weighed after peeling and coring
|1 kg
- Fill a saucepan with cold water and add the lemon juice(from 1 lemon). Wash the fluff off the quince skins, then peel, core and slice them.
- Drop the pieces into the water to prevent browning. Tie the peelings and cores in a muslin or cheesecloth bag and add to the pan.
- Cook over a medium heat until the quinces are tender - about 30 minutes. Transfer all the contents of the saucepan, except the muslin bag, to a food processor and purée until smooth.
- Return the purée to the saucepan, add the sugar and cook over a low heat for 3 to 4 hours. The colour will become a deep ruby.
- Allow the mixture to cool in the saucepan, then pour into a 28cm sponge-roll tin lined with greaseproof paper.
- I put the tin in an oven switched to fanbake, but with no heat, for about 12 hours to dry out the paste.
- Alternatively, leave the tin to stand on the bench for a few days. Store the paste in an airtight tin.

"This legislation, HB 3588, gave far-reaching powers to the state for this land grab."
May 26, 2005
The Gonzales Inquirer
Copyright 2005
Gonzales County Commissioners Court has been asked to pass a resolution opposing the Trans Texas Corridor.
Dianne Raef, accompanied by Mickie Wallace and Dane Sullivan, on Monday, May 23, addressed the commissioners court with information opposing the Trans Texas Corridor.
Raef said that in 2002 Gov. Rick Perry announced his corridor vision and instructed TxDOT (Texas Department of Transportation) to prepare an action plan to build the Trans-Texas Corridor. Within six months TxDOT had completed the plan and presented it to the Transportation Commission. "Without any substantive discussion or debate and without public comment the commission approved the plan as presented on June 27, 2002. This legislation, HB 3588, gave far-reaching powers to the state for this 'land grab'," Raef said.
The corridor proposal is for 10 lanes of vehicular traffic, 6 lanes of rail, and a utility corridor for natural gas, water, electrical and cable lines. The TTC is designed to be 1,200 feet wide with limited access ramps.
"That would consume nearly 600,000 acres of Texas farm and ranch land, impacting 74 counties and dividing many pastures. Water rights as well as mineral rights would be lost. The land would be seized through eminent domain with owners given 90 days to evacuate their property," Raef said.
This land would then be leased to a company in Spain, Centra, to build and set the tolls for 50 years. $60,000 was spent to send state representatives to Spain and France to solicit these bids. Another $3 million was spent to contract with Centra for a proposal to be completed by December 2005. "Texas has at least 3 companies listed in the 'Fortune 500' businesses. Why do we need to go to Europe for U.S. building contractors?" Raef asked. "The 4-year-old Laredo toll road has been a disaster and truckers do not use it because of the added expense. Why would they use the TTC?"
Her questions to the commissioners court were: "How did this happen? Is this legal? How will this impact our small towns? How will this impact our pocketbooks and land?"
She showed a map of the proposed TTC and said that more than 30 counties in Texas have signed resolutions opposing TTC.
"Countless letters, petitions, signs and rallies have begun asking to stop or at least 'slow down' the decisions until local citizens in Texas can be made aware of the far-reaching impact this proposed corridor will have on our land," Raef said. "We want transparent decisions. I am requesting that Gonzales join these other counties in passing a resolution to oppose the TTC."
Raef said there were many facts and figures in this proposal and she hoped that she had shared them all accurately. She further encouraged County Judge David Bird and the commissioners to read www.corridorwatch.com to keep abreast of the changes and amendments to the original HB 3588, which gave the governor this overwhelming power to act without voters' consent.
"'Taxation without representation' is what began the 'Boston Tea Party,' and now I am in favor of an 'Austin Toll Party' if we are not given adequate representation," Raef said.
She encouraged Gonzales County residents to contact the governor's office (800-252-9600) as well as Sen. Ken Armbrister (512-463-0118) and Rep. Edmund Kuempel (512-463-0602) to express opposition.
The next meeting of Gonzales County Commissioners Court is scheduled for 9 a.m. Monday, June 13.
"Interested citizens are invited to attend as it is an open meeting," Raef said, adding that comments or questions can be made to individual county commissioners or the county judge's office at 672-2327 or Dianne Raef at 361-865-2154.

How to save and invest money for retirement
Saving for retirement is absolutely necessary for each and every individual. When you pass a certain age, you may not have the similar enthusiasm or stamina to work in the same manner as while being young. At this time, you will think about the future expenses and may have to depend on your children after few years. So, if you do not want to completely depend on your children, start saving for your retirement now.
Have you ever thought about what the monthly expenses are going to be after 20 years from now? If you will follow the similar lifestyle and consider same inflation for the next 20 years, your expenses will be at least three times if not more. So, if you have never thought of saving for retirement, you must give it a second thought and start planning to save and invest money for your better retirement life.
Download Retirement Planning Calculator to know exactly how much monthly expenses would be there at the time of retirement.
After calculating the retirement expenses, you will be amazed and may also worry at the same time about saving money even for one year post retirement expenses. So, it is always advisable to start investing for retirement as early as possible. If you will start investing early, you will get better returns and see the actual benefits of compounding. Money grows multi-fold with time.
How much money to save for retirement
You must save money for retirement right from the time you start earning. When you start saving from the initial stages of your career, you almost get around 30 years to save for retirement. Initially, you may start saving money by putting aside only 5% of your monthly salary for retirement. But as your salary increases, you must increase this percentage to as high as 25%.
How much money you need for retirement
The amount of money required for retirement depends on the individual's expenses. Suppose, if someone does not have any home loan or other EMIs, he/she may not need the same amount as the one having several loans. First, you must calculate your monthly expenses post-retirement and start saving to have enough cash to easily live for at least 5 years. Suppose your monthly expenses are coming out to be $20,000 then you must have at least $1,200,000 at the time of retirement. If you can save more money, it will be great to target for 10 years of expenses and invest to get $2,400,000 for your post retirement life.

Learn how to invest for retirement
When you know how much money to keep aside for retirement, you have several options to invest that money. You can open a recurring deposit account; invest in Provident Fund; invest in 401(k) or Roth 401(k), if you have that option available. You can also invest in some 'Retirement savings plans'; alternatively you can start a SIP (Systematic Invest Plan) of Mutual Funds, which can provide you better returns than traditional savings plans.
Whatever investment option you choose, always make a habit to analyze your retirement portfolio after every few months or at lease twice a year and make necessary adjustments. You can also invest some lump sump amount as a Fixed Deposit (Certificate of Deposits) whenever you get some extra money from other sources and increase you retirement portfolio.
Plan your Retirement
Points to remember while planning for retirement
- Calculate monthly expenses at the time of retirement
- Prepare yourself accordingly
- Start saving from today
- Start by at least 5% monthly salary and increase gradually up to 25%
- Invest in 401(k); Mutual Funds; or any other long term investment instrument
- Enjoy retirement life
If you start preparing for your retirement at the right age, you will certainly enjoy your retirement life and will not see it as a burden for you and your family.

Unemployment has fallen to a near four-and-a-half year low, increasing pressure on the Bank of England to bring forward interest rate rises after it linked economic policy to the amount of people out of work.
Data from the Office for National Statistics showed the jobless rate fell 0.1 percentage points to 7.6pc in the three months to September. The last time it was this low was in May 2009.
Earlier this year the Bank started a policy of "forward guidance", saying it would not increase the base rate from its historic low of 0.5pc until the unemployment rate fell to 7pc. The Bank said it did not expect this to happen for three years but the economy has strenghtened unexpectedly over recent months, meaning it might have to increase rates earlier than it forecast.
Bank Governor Mark Carney is due deliver an update on the central bank's policy later this morning.
The ONS data also showed a bigger than forecast drop in the number of people claiming unemployment benefits, with the number falling by 41,700 in October, an increase of more than a third on the predicted 30,000 and representing the biggest decline since 1997. The number of people claiming jobless benefits was 1.31m.
The previous month's claimant count was also improved, with 3,000 fewer people claiming benefits than originally thought.
The number of people in work rose to an all-time high of almost 30m, although nearly half are working part-time. This is the highest level since records began in 1971 after 177,000 people found employment.
Esther McVey, Minister for Employment said: "This Government is delivering on its promise to rebalance the economy, promote job creation, and support people to get off benefits and into work.
"Today's figures show that the number of people in work has risen by more than a million under this Government, with the growth driven by full-time private sector jobs.
"At the same time, the number of people claiming the main out-of-work benefits has fallen by almost half a million. There's more work to do, and we are not complacent, but these are all very positive signs."
Economists also welcomed the data, saying it showed the UK economy was regaining its strength.
Jeremy Cook, chief economist at World First, said: "Unemployment, alongside other metrics of the recovery, has continued the recent run of improving figures we've seen here in the UK. This latest figure will hearten those who believe that the UK economy has now turned a corner. As it stands, the UK is the strongest economy in the G10 and it certainly has momentum.
"The current rate of job improvement in the UK would mean that the 7pc threshold would be hit towards the end of 2014. However, we expect the Bank to maintain that recent good news is productivity driven and not down to the jobs market."
Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist at IHS Global Insight, said: "This is a strong set of labour market data, indicating that unemployment is currently coming down pretty rapidly in reaction to the economy's markedly improved performance in recent months and much healthier business confidence.
"The drop in the unemployment rate to 7.6pc can only fuel market expectations that it will get down to 7pc by early 2015 and that the Bank could very well start raising interest rates then, regardless of the message that the bank gives out in the November Quarterly Inflation Report."
The prospect of the Bank raising rates earlier than expected was not welcomed by the market, with the FTSE 100 falling nearly 1pc, on the prospect of tighter monetary policy. Sterling strengthened against the dollar on the news, spiking up half a cent to $1.5947.

I fancied having a change with the inserts recently and thought it would be good to freshen everything up (including the tutorial), which was good because we're actually having issues with our site at the moment so it's not currently available. It was a really popular tutorial and I'm sad that our site is down, but we're working hard to solve the issues asap! Making new inserts for your Filofax is really easy and it's a great way to personalise your organiser. When I made my original inserts I included all sorts of things, but with this second revamp I've really worked out what I need and what works for me, so you can do the same too. It's a very personal thing, using your organiser, so I hope you find some of these things useful and that you might give this project a go! Read More

The A380 superjumbo has been thrown a lifeline after its biggest customer, Emirates, agreed to buy up to 36 more planes from Airbus.
The European airplane manufacturer had warned that without the deal, which had been long in the negotiation, it might have to close down its A380 production line.
The deal is the first large order for the world's biggest passenger aircraft in more than four years.
Emirates has committed to buy 20 planes, with an option for 16 more, in a deal that would be worth up to $16bn (£11.5bn) at list prices, although the Gulf airline will have negotiated a substantial discount.
Fears for the future of the A380 had intensified after an anticipated order failed to materialise at the Dubai air show in November, with Emirates instead signing a deal with Boeing for 40 of the US manufacturer's 787 Dreamliners.
Emirates has virtually single-handedly kept the A380 going: the latest deal means more than half of the planes ordered – 178 out of 353 – are operating in or destined for the Gulf. The airline firm took delivery of its first A380 in July 2008, and its 100th two months ago.
Announcing the agreement on Thursday, Emirates' chief executive and chairman, Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, said: "We've made no secret of the fact that the A380 has been a success for Emirates. Our customers love it, and we've been able to deploy it on different missions across our network, giving us flexibility in terms of range and passenger mix."
Emirates will replace some of its older A380s with the new planes.
Airbus said the deal would allow it to continue producing the A380 for at least another decade. John Leahy, its long serving sales boss, who had been chasing one last big deal before retirement, said: "I'm personally convinced more orders will follow Emirates' example and that this great aircraft will be built well into the 2030s."
The aircraft is built across Europe, with its wings manufactured in the UK at Broughton in Flintshire. Rolls-Royce is also a major supplier of engines, while landing gear and some of the avionics are also UK-built.
While Thursday's order will give some reassurance to Airbus and its suppliers, questions remain about its flagship plane. In the autumn one of its A380s was taken out of service and mothballed in the Pyrenees, with its owner, a German leasing company, unable to find an airline willing to operate it. It is still more than two years since an airline other than Emirates has purchased an A380.
The capacity of the double-decker plane, which can typically accommodate 575 passengers, meant it was seen at its inception as a way of allowing congested hub airports to increase passenger numbers.
But the growing range of smaller, alternative planes such as the Dreamliner or Airbus's A350 has dented sales of the A380. Despite its popularity with many passengers who have travelled on it, only 13 airlines have so far flown the A380 and many have predicted its demise – not least, with some glee, Boeing.
Airbus has twice cut the production rate of the plane in recent years, now down to eight planes annually, although executives recently indicated as few as six would be a sustainable rate.
Overall, the European manufacturer has seen more success in the rapid sales of its smaller, single-aisle planes in the last year, particularly the A320neo. Airbus last week said that with a rush of December sales it had taken orders for 1,109 planes in total in 2017, again outstripping Boeing's 912 orders.

Having a properly insulated and air sealed home is key to maintaining comfortable indoor air temperatures and will drastically reduce your heating and cooling energy loads.
Among many of our Measured Home Performance attributes, Splinters Construction & Building Performance, Inc. is a licensed C-2 insulation company that specializes in air sealing and insulating residential homes.
It is important to understand that air sealing and insulation go hand-in-hand. Since the air barrier (building shell) and the insulation are in alignment, the condition of one directly impacts the performance of the other. In a home that is well-insulated but not air sealed, the insulation will perform poorly. In a home that has been air-sealed but has little (or no) insulation, the impact of a tight building shell will be negligible.
Insulation is measured in R-value. R-value stands for "resistance to heat flow". The higher the R-value (and installation quality) of your insulation, the greater this resistance to heat flow, both into and out of the building envelope.
Consequently, a properly insulated home will minimize the affect that the uncomfortable outside temperatures (in the attic, crawl space and outdoors) have on the temperature inside. Because insulation does not stop air movement, however, its success is contingent upon taking the additional step of air sealing the building shell. Otherwise, the reduction of heat flow through the insulation will be compromised by air passing through or around the insulation and leaking into or out of the house.
Air sealing the building shell is critical because air leaks typically carry energy and moisture into or out of your home in the direction you don't want. If we properly air seal the building shell, we significantly reduce the natural air exchange between the conditioned space of your home and the attic, crawl space and outdoors. If we combine this with proper insulation, we have created a strong Thermal Boundary.
The end result is that the temperature indoors will be significantly less affected by the temperatures outside, meaning improved comfort. Your home will be naturally cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
Splinters Construction begins an air sealing and insulation project by removing any old insulation and/or debris from the attic and vacuuming it clean.
We then measure the air leakage of your home with the Blower Door Test. Not only does this test reveal your home's overall leakage, but it allows us to pinpoint specific leaks in the building shell for sealing.
Next, we create an air barrier between the living space and the attic by sealing up all of the gaps, seams and holes that allow warm air from inside your home to rise up into the attic.
As warm air rises up and out of your home, it pulls in cool, unwanted air from places like the crawl space. The air in the crawl space can contain humidity, mold spores and objectionable particles, so we air seal the gaps, seams and holes in the crawl space to strengthen the building shell from below.
Weather-stripping windows and doors is an additional air sealing option for you to consider.
We then perform the Blower Door Test on your home a second time to catch any leaks we may have missed and to measure the improvement in the total building air leakage.
Once your home has been properly air sealed, we blow the attic with loose-fill cellulose insulation to R-38 (10.5″-12″). We measure and mark this insulation with permanent insulation rulers.
Splinters Construction & Building Performance, Inc. also has the capability of insulating the exterior walls of your home through a process called Drill-and-Fill, as well as insulating the crawl space beneath your floors by a process called Encapsulation.
The end result of having a Splinters air sealing and insulation project performed on your home is significantly improved comfort.

What is this "Radio" thing?
I like to listen to NPR. It saves me time from watching the daily slaughterfest that is shown on the news television stations.
I just got out of the shower and heard a really nice instrumental piece during the NPR show "Day To Day". I heard lots of good music on the show. the music HAS to be good when only 5 miutes or less of music is played in an hour program. I like music.
Anyway, the nice piece I heard was Hip-Hop rhythmed. I love it when the public radio station plays Hip-Hop during the show's intermission. It feels to me like subtle brain-washing is taking place to those people that claim to dislike or even hate Hip-Hop music. Anyway NPR is a a wonderful thing. I'll probably donate in 2005.
This song I heard was really mellow stuff. I thought that if I rush and get on the computer I could search the NPR website and find the show and then find the names of the songs and artist's whose music is played during the intermissions. I sat down in the "lab" and started searching. I started up iTunes so that I wouldn't miss anymore cool music. Being the polite person that I am, I informed my daughter who was in the same room that I was going to play some music. She wanted to know what I was ging to play and I said, "I'm going to play the radio." I don't have a radio in the lab. It is just my office, Cisco lab, computer room. The only RF transmitter is the cordless phone on my desk. I have no radio in the lab.
So I ask you, "What is this "Radio" thing" that I mentioned to my daughter that doesn't come from the airwaves, but from the computer on my desk?
I called my computer a "radio".

I was asked to produce a movie using the iPhone for the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art exhibition on "Art of the iPhone." Along with four of my photographic prints, I created a 5:58 long piece using my iPhone. I decide to explore the duality of a woman's sensuality/sexuality. These two internal feelings and emotions than garner for attention in one's psyche.
I would like to thank Rachel Abby for her unselfish spirit and opening up her inner being. Keke Vasquez-Tamali'i for transforming Rachel with wonderful makeup and hair artistry. And Jody Frost for her unflappable support and guidance in keeping me inline as to not sway from the core meaning of the story.
Please enjoy.

Mr. Jeeves was adopted to Chelsea S. of KY this past February to be an eventer. This is what Chelsea has to say about her new best friend: "Jeeves is doing GREAT! He quickly settle in at the farm and made quick friends with my gelding Brew. His attitude has really changed-- he seems to be very happy and much more relaxed. He recently went to a Hunter Pace at Masterson and did great! He handled the open spaces well and even did some small jumps.

I was reading again tonight about Elijah and Elisha, and I can't shake this piece of the story: Elisha was plowing a field with some oxen when Elijah found him. He was hard at work, doing what he was trained (and skilled) to do. I imagine that this day looked pretty similar to so many days before it. Farming is monotonous but grueling work.
Then Elijah walked right across the field and wrapped his cloak around Elisha, symbolicly passing on his ministry anointing. And in that moment, Elisha made a decision.
He chose to leave behind the comfortable and familiar to obediently follow God's call.
He knew it wasn't an easy decision. He was choosing the hard.
He knew that there would be tough days when he'd long for the back-breaking labor of farming. He knew he'd be tempted to return to his old life. So he did something drastic. Something crazy.
He sacrificed his oxen.
Elisha broke apart his wooden plow, set it on fire, and cooked his cattle.
He didn't want turning back to even be an option, so he made a bonfire out of his former life.
He gave himself nothing to return to. No plan B. Nothing to "fall back on" except risky faith in a faithful God.
Reminds me of Peter.
When Jesus was killed, Peter's future turned into a giant question mark. He couldn't make sense of a crucified Messiah. So he went back to what he was doing before he'd started following Christ. He went back to fishing.
Reminds me of me.
When my faith wavers, when difficult turns to impossible, when I have no idea what God is up to... I'm tempted to turn back.
I'm inclined to go back to my old way of thinking, my former plans, my loosely-held hope. I once again long for the comfortable and familiar. I want to return to something I understand. Something I can "control".
So I need to do something drastic.
Something crazy.
I need to build a bonfire.
