I am disappointed: Vespers at St Mary´s Cathedral, Sydney, are far better than Vespers at Cologne Cathedral. The Office began promisingly enough, with a procession of thurifer, crucifer and cerifers, choristers and the celebrant in biretta and cope (the lot preceded by some sort of behatted and red-gowned beadle with a wand or mace) entering the choir where we layfolk had arranged ourselves not far from the high altar and the shrine of the Three Kings of Cologne, the relics of the Magi; but as soon as the chanting began, I was disappointed - the chanting seemed lifeless (though the organ accompaniment was grand). I could easily sing louder than the sixteen in the schola (and almost did before I restrained myself), and choirs I´ve sung with in Australia could have done a better job. How disappointing.
More seriously, the Office itself was not done properly. While the booklet provided promised Vespers of Trinity Sunday, none of the antiphons so much as mentioned it - the Magnificat antiphon was, I am sure, taken from Lent! And very annoyingly, this modern Office in Gregorian chant had been abbreviated - after the two psalms, there was no New Testament canticle at all, instead they skipped ahead to the short reading read in German (and a long homily). It is not right to do that. At least the high altar was censed at the Magnificat rather than the modern forward altar at the crossing.
As is allowable though regrettable, the expected short responsory was replaced by a fragment that sounded very much like Taize material (so much for Vespers in Gregorian chant!). But most oddly of all, after the intercessions (read in German, from the correct Office at least, with response sung in Latin) and chanted Pater noster, before the Collect (in German), Dominus vobiscum, Benedicat vos and Benedicamus Domino, was interpolated a silent pause, that rather puerile round Da pacem Domine, another Taize-style antiphon, and the Nunc dimittis from Compline! No wonder the English notice advertised the service as Evensong: Catholics aping Anglicans? And really it is liturgical nonsense to insert all manner of membra disjecta between the Lord´s Prayer and the Collect: far better to add such devotions later (better still, to actually sing that which should have been included - the N.T. Canticle - and omit such irrelevant material).
At least, to conclude, something highly appropriate was added and in a most Catholic manner: the servers, choir, priest and congregation all processed to the miraculous image of Our Lady in the north transept whilst the organ played, and then we sang Salve Regina while it was censed.
Still, it disappoints me to find that the liturgy, while conducted most reverently, was so misunderstood as to have the wrong antiphons sung, one essential part removed, and several irrelevant elements inserted. Compare it to Vespers at the Cathedral in Sydney (see what I wrote of it on this blog in July last year), where the chanting was perfect, the Magnificat sung in alternating chant and faux-bourdon, and, after Vespers, Benediction sung with several pieces of polyphony. To be honest, I had expected polyphonic Vespers, of some magnificence, and didn´t get them.
It´s a hard life.

From walking on the sun-kissed beaches to swinging on the picturesque fairways, there is an array of ways to experience Cancun, Mexico. Popular sights, tourist attractions and hidden gems are always surrounding you. Find your inner adventurer as you hike along the Mayan ruins or immerse yourself in the exciting nightlife and dance the night away. With our Cancun vacation packages, your tropical getaway could be sooner than you think.
Cancun's beaches boast beautiful white sand that is cool to the touch and is created by the crushed coral and shells surrounding the Yucatan Peninsula.
Cancun is home to the second largest coral reef in the world, The Great Mayan Barrier Reef.
From 2009 to 2010, Cancun underwent a massive beach restoration project that added roughly 7 miles of shore and increased the width of the beaches by 40-70 yards.
Cancun International Airport is the second busiest airport in Mexico and sees an average of 800,000 passengers a month. The airport is roughly 15 miles from most hotels in the city.
Cancun defines tropical climate with 60°F to 70°F as the average low and 80°F to 90°F as the average high year-round. While the peak of the sunny seasons generally range from early spring to mid-summer, Cancun continues to be the perfect vacation spot every season of the year. Because this paradise hosts tropical climates, it does have its share of precipitation, but it's nothing that could ruin or rain on your parade.

Defender feels 'like a chump' after admission
ONE of Lance Armstrong's biggest defenders has said he now feels a "chump" after the disgraced cyclist confessed to doping during his career.
Journalist Rick Reilly joined the stream of former employees, teammates and report-ers in realis-ing that the legacy of the man they had support-ed was drug-tainted.
Mr Reilly said he had spent 14 years defending Armstrong (pictured) only to be "made to look like a chump".
He said Armstrong had sent him an email earlier this week stating: "I'm sorry. All I can say for now but also the most heartfelt thing too. Two very important words."

Would you like to be a lifeguard on Sydney's famous Bondi Beach? Bondi lifeguards work on one of the world's most beautiful beaches and keep millions of beach visitors safe every year. If being a Bondi lifeguard is your dream, here's everything you need to know.
1Contact a surf life saving club in or close to Bondi.
- Just about anyone can volunteer to be a lifesaver at Sydney surf life saving clubs.
- Surf clubs will be happy to chat to you and tell you what is required if you want to be a volunteer lifeguard. Many will provide all the training you'll need. Call them, check out their websites or simply head down and chat to them. Surf clubs are very social and they're always keen to meet potential new members.
- If you have your heart set on being a lifesaver on Bondi Beach specifically, contact Bondi Surf Bathers' Life Saving Club.
2Get your Bronze Medallion
- The minimum requirement for a qualified surf lifesaver in Australia is a Bronze Medallion. It's considered to be the international standard for surf lifesavers.
- Attaining your bronze medallion is a tremendous personal achievement in itself. It means you are skilled in surf awareness, survival, patrol and rescue and emergency care. It will give you valuable skills that may last you a lifetime.
- Your surf club will tell you what you need to do to attain your Bronze medallion.
- You can also get your Bronze Medallion through the Royal Life Saving Society of Australia and at many other swimming and aquatic centres.
- Many surf clubs regularly advertise that they are taking applications for people wishing to attain their bronze medallions and conduct the training themselves.[1]
3Complete your surf club's proficiency test
- If you want to be a volunteer lifeguard, most surf clubs will firstly need you to complete a swimming proficiency test.
- This may be a timed swim in a swimming pool or a measured, open-water course. Don't worry. Your surf club will give you all the information you need so that you can practice and train to pass this test.[1]
4Complete your surf club's training
- Once you have passed your swimming proficiency test, your surf club will provide qualified instructors who will train you to the level of a proficient lifesaver they require. There'll be plenty of support and guidance.
- At the completion of your training, you'll probably have to complete a physical fitness test. What is required may differ slightly from surf club to surf club. Bondi Surf Bathers Life Saving Club require you to complete:
- "a 200 meter (656.2 ft) run – 200 meter (656.2 ft) swim – 200 meter (656.2 ft) run (run/swim/run) in under 8 minutes."
- "A pool swim of 400 meters (1,312.3 ft) in under 9 minutes".
- "A simulated rescue using a rescue board and tube". [1]
- Once you've completed all these steps above, you'll be able to assist as a volunteer lifesaver. Enjoy - and don't forget sunscreen!
Community Q&A
QuestionHow old do I have to be?Community AnswerTo get a bronze medallion, you must be a minimum of 15 years of age. However, you can get your Surf Rescue Certificate at a minimum of 13 years of age.
QuestionWhat happens if I don't live in Australia? What qualifications will I need if I am from the UK?Community AnswerYou must have Australia's standard qualifications to be a lifeguard (First Aid Certificate, Advanced Resuscitation Certificate, P.W.C Waterways Licence), and a drivers license in Australia (Current Class 1A Driver's Licence).

What are the characteristics of a good lifeguard?

- If a vacancy comes up for a professional lifesaver job at Bondi, and you already have extensive experience as a volunteer lifesaver, it would be looked on very favourably. Getting to know Bondi Lifesavers and letting them know how keen and committed you are will help too. You can call Bondi Lifesavers and chat to them on (02)8362 3450. I spoke to them when I was researching this article and they were extremely helpful.
- If a surf club trains you to be a volunteer lifesaver, you'll have duties and responsibilities to your club each season you volunteer. Make sure you show up to swim meets and meetings if it is required of you. Let people know if you can't make it on the days you are rostered on. Your surf club will quite reasonably, expect you to be responsible and keep your promises and commitments to them.
- If you want full time paid work as a Bondi lifesaver, like the ones on the TV show "Bondi Rescue" you may be waiting a while for a vacancy. Waverley Council employ 30 or more paid professional lifesavers at Bondi Beach who work 365 days a year and vacancies do not come up often.

The Barrel, the original container craft beer garden in Estes Park, is in the midst of remodeling the building at 251 Moraine Avenue, which used to house the Estes Park Trail Gazette many years ago.
Drawing inspiration from the Rocky Mountains and the craft beer culture, Ingrid and Lou Bush are driven by a strong sense of creative placemaking and developing a popular gathering place.
"We want to add to Estes Park's growing craft movement by creating a beer garden and hall where people will want to visit us many times throughout the week so they can try new beers, ciders, meads, wines and spirits at each visit, as well as meet up with old friends and make new ones," Ingrid said. "We look forward to helping promote Estes Park as a Winter and year-round destination."
To kick-off their plans, the community is invited to a "Hops & Hard Hats" party on Friday, October 27th starting at 4:30pm. In addition to discounts on drinks and merchandise, patrons will receive an insider's view of the planned improvements.
"We are excited to be able to expand our innovative concept indoors and be open year round", says Lou. "We are creating a venue that will appeal to a diverse crowd, including families, day-trippers, guests and locals. Our draught list will continue the tradition of frequently changing and will offer options for both the craft beer nerd and the novice."
The Barrel hopes to open the Indoor Beer Hall by Christmas, depending on construction, permitting and weather.

Artistic? Maybe...or maybe you just haven't yet built the skills and confidence to apply a brush, play a tune or pop a move. The important thing is that we use our brains, bodies and spirits to learn and evolve.
Why is creativity so important to leadership?
At the 60th anniversary conference of the Creative Problem Solving Institute, over 500 educators and innovation practitioners came together to learn and share facilitation, coaching and leadership practices. Participants from companies like Proctor & Gamble and Seimens along with international governments, NGOs and consultants met in University of Buffalo classrooms. We came to learn from creativity and innovation experts, as well as from each other.
Leanna Murphy Dono is an energetic, skilled and supportive teacher. She makes graphic recording looks easy by breaking down the process into simple strokes. She had lots of tips for ease and effectiveness...right down to the kinds of pens and tape that work best.
My role was to give examples of how I use graphic facilitation in my work in organizations, helping teams see the big picture and co-creating a vision of the future.

One of the best things about entrepreneurship is that it means many things to many people. I'm always keen on demolishing the image of the entrepreneur being nothing more than a schlubby dude in khakis armed with a bluetooth headset, so when Northbrook's OpticsPlanet dropped me a line about being featured, I was excited. The business sells sunglasses, hunting gear and, oh yeah, military and tactical equipment like thermal weapon sights and thermal imaging cameras. It's like the second coming of The Sharper Image. Take a look at the attached gallery to see what the company's home office is like.

Section 504
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination against students on the basis of their disability. The United States Department of Education has issued revisions to the requirements of Section 504 with emphasis on procedural safeguards and other protections that would prevent discrimination against individuals with disabilities, effective March, 2011.
The Wayne RESA Section 504 Toolkit was developed to provide schools with information, sample forms, and suggestions for the implementation of Section 504 procedural safeguards and protections for eligible students. The toolkit includes a section that describes requirements and recommendations for appropriate decisions. There is a sample forms section that schools may adopt to ensure proper notice to parents and documentation of their procedures. There is a Tip section that includes information on a variety of tips for addressing assistive technology, behavioral management issues, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, School Refusal, and Bipolar Mood Disorder. A section is dedicated to the development of plans for the management of medication and commonly occurring health issues that require a Section 504 plan.
The entire toolkit may be downloaded and adapted for district uses.

Hendrix splits on road
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The Hendrix College volleyball team went on the road over the weekend for a pair of Southern Athetlic Association matches and came away with a split. On Saturday, the Warriors (10-6, 1-2) fell to Millsaps College (9-6, 2-0) 25-22, 25-12, 25-22, but rebounded to take down Birmingham-Southern College (10-2, 1-2) 25-20, 19-25, 26-24, 25-18 in Alabama on Sunday.

UALR ends non-conference with Ole Miss loss
OXFORD, Miss. -– Ole Miss scored three goals in the first 18 minutes allowed no shots on goal as it defeated the UALR soccer team 3-0 on Sunday evening.
The lone shot for the Trojans (3-6) came off the foot of Ashley Barksdale, but otherwise the goalie for the Rebels (8-1-1) was untested. UALR keeper Sara Cavanagh made six saves, nearly matching a career high of seven that she made against UAB on Friday at home.
Ole Miss cored three times in the first 18 minutes. The Trojans defense improved from there, not allowing a shot on goal in the final 45 minutes. Barksdale's shot for the Trojans came in the 61st minute.
The conference season now begins for UALR as it travels to Arkansas State on Sunday. The Trojans and Red Wolves play their first Sun Belt Conference game at 1 p.m.
A-State defeats Murray State
JONESBORO— Arkansas State sophomore forward Loren Mitchell scored two goals to help lead the Red Wolves women's soccer team to a 3-1 victory over Murray State Sunday afternoon at the A-State Soccer Complex.
Mitchell scored what proved to be the game-winning goal in the 18th minute when she took a pass from Madison Joyce on the right side of the box which left her one-on-one with the Racers' goalkeeper and Mitchell put the ball out of her reach to give ASU a 2-0 lead.
She scored again in the 46th minute on a header on a corner kick from Katey Carmichael to push the advantage to 3-1. Carmichael sent the ball into a crowd of defenders in front of the net and Mitchell was able to find enough space to get a clean head on the ball and score the third goal of the game for A-State.
Carmichael scored the game's first goal in the sixth minute after taking a pass from Jordan Adams on the left side of the box, which left Carmichael one-on-one with goalkeeper.
Amanda Lee has been equally impressive in goal at the A-State Soccer Complex this season. In three home games she has allowed just two goals, made nine saves and recorded her second career shutout.
Carmichael also etched her name into the Red Wolves' record book on Sunday. Her goal and assist gave the sophomore 21 career points, which is the 10th most in school history. Her nine career goals are also tied for the 11th most in school history.
Arkansas State will return to pitch Sunday, Sept. 29 as the squad will open up Sun Belt Conference play against in-state opponent Arkansas-Little Rock. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

Center for Renaissance Studies
The Center for Renaissance Studies promotes the use of the Newberry collection by graduate students and postgraduate scholars in the fields of late medieval, Renaissance, and early modern studies (ca. 1300 – ca. 1750), making available programs that may not be feasible for individual institutions to mount alone.
Founded in 1979, the center works with an international consortium of universities in North America and Europe. It offers a wide range of scholarly programs and digital and print publications based in the Newberry collections, and provides a locus for a community of scholars who come from all over the world to use the library's early manuscripts, printed books, and other materials. Faculty and graduate students from consortium institutions may be eligible to apply for Newberry Renaissance Consortium Grants to travel to the Newberry to attend programs or do research.
Visit our consortium blog, CRS Stories, to learn more about the experiences of faculty and graduate students working with the Newberry collections and attending Center programming.
Interested researchers should consult the Medieval, Renaissance, and Early Modern Studies core collection details for an introduction to navigating the Newberry's extensive Renaissance and early modern collections. The Center also maintains a list of resources for the study of paleography.
Funding for the center is provided in part by the Bernard P. McElroy Fund in Renaissance Studies.
Current Projects and Grants
The Center for Renaissance Studies was pleased to launch the Italian Paleography website in July 2019. Supported by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the website offers resources for learning how to read 102 Italian documents and manuscripts written between 1300 and 1700, with tools for deciphering them and learning about their social, cultural, and institutional settings.
The Center for Renaissance Studies was awarded two grants for paleography studies from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in 2016 and 2017. One grant continues funding for summer paleography institutes at the Newberry, Folger, Getty, and Huntington through 2020. The second grant supports the development of an Italian paleography website to complement the Center's French Renaissance Paleography site.
The Samuel H. Kress Foundation awarded the Center for Renaissance Studies and Professor Mara Wade from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign a grant for "Emblems and Empire Emblematica Politica in Early Modern Nürnberg," a project inspired by Professor Wade's discovery during her long-term fellowship.

Worship and Politics
So….. We are in a charged political season and many of us are now starting to draw our own conclusions and solidify who we are supporting as candidates. I actually like and don't like the political season for several reasons. I like the excitement it brings, the different views, the charged atmospheres, etc. But sometimes I don't like what it brings out of me personally. Talking about politics and differences of opinion can sometimes feel personal to me and the ugly side can surface. I see it in many other Christians as well. We can attack others and belittle opinions as if ours are always right. You know what I mean?!
Before I get into a heated conversation or respond to a post/comment, I wonder if I prayed and focused on God first how different my response might be. I wonder if I chose to worship first instead of open my mouth (or rather start typing), how seasoned with grace my response can be.
I hope you join me in this political season in remembering to worship first before you respond.
My two cents….

It's apparently one hundred days since my last post. Was I informed of this century? No…I just decided to come on here and see if I feel like writing another blog. Or perhaps moving onwards with something else.
The last one hundred days…like MS they have been varied. Like the weather it has been a topical subject one day and not so, another. However…I have stuck at my Wahls Protocol. On May 3rd I started an AIP Leaky Gut diet…for three months. Auto Immune Protocol, by Dr Sarah Ballantyne…to try to improve on my Leaky Gut. My so-called virus this year ended up not being one. I discovered that my joint pains were in fact tendonitis triggered by nutritional deficiencies…caused by stress, infections and relapses. I also, recently, found out that my sore throat this year, exasperated by the aforementioned, is in fact GERD (chronic acid reflux). I then researched how to avoid taking the medicine prescribed and found out that most acid reflux is caused by the stomach having too little acid. Search it and you will see this: http://chriskresser.com/what-everybody-ought-to-know-but-doesnt-about-heartburn-gerd/ I highly recommend it. And what I thought was MS hug was in fact GERD. I may get MS hug sometimes however I now know the reason for food easing the pain. It makes sense. And more so…after removing acidic foods and being in agony, to reintroducing acidic foods…add cider vinegar, eating slower and less in the evening…my pains have cut right down. Hurrah!! Oh, how ten days can spin right around on it's axis and make you feel that your body is in fact united once again. Incidentally that website material is educational for IBS, Paleo, low carb, sugar free etc…so when I found such a lengthy article which covers lots of my issues, my digestive -throat to toilet- challenges, I became the student.
So…now my nutrition is starting to get back as a team inline with my body and I am already seeing the turn around; the united body. My exercise levels are back on the agenda. The mediation and yoga are daily and now joined with exercises. I'm also able to take my assistance dog out for wheelchair walks, with some actual walks through the countryside. Helping my mental health also.
So yes, I'm back. Back…and also far far forwards in holistically being healthier; holistically understanding my body and; holistically focussing on the best options which I feel are right for me.
And so folks…here may endeth my blogs. Thank you for reading about my journey, I wish you great health and happiness.
…I'm off to do the rest of my life now!

Accordion Performance Not for the Faint of Heart
If your only memory of the accordion comes from Lawrence Welk reruns, there's someone you should check out.
KTU is a three-piece avant-garde fusion combo which showcases the talents of Finland's Kimmo Pohjonen, known in some quarters as the Hendrix of the accordion.
Finnish accordionist Kimmo Pohjonen loves to tell the story of the history of the instrument in his native country. He and his group KTU (pronounced Kay-too) then proceed to make you forget about Myron Floren.

Choral Composer Making Big Noise in Britain
Every year, Britain's Classic FM publishes a list of listener favorites. Rachmaninoff's 2nd Piano Concerto is the perennial number one. If there is music by a living composer on the list, it is usually by Karl Jenkins. This year, things have changed.
Paul Mealor is a 35-year-old Welsh composer who composed music for the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Now, he's being hailed as a "new romanticist of classical music."
He composed a work for charity, sung by The Military Wives Choir, which is now up for a Brit Award.
Who is Paul Mealor…and how did the royal couple come to choose his music?

…But What DOES a Conductor Do?
I attended a recent concert by the Minnesota Orchestra conducted by Osmo Vanska. Anyone who has seen him conduct knows that he is…well…animated. The reviewer of that concert spent so much time reviewing the conductor, that the music was almost an afterthought. According to him, the orchestra played Beethoven's 5th Symphony in spite of the conductor.
I have seen a number of conductors, many of whom are quite animated. I have also seen some who are quite reserved and yet others who seem to not be conducting at all.
What makes a good conductor? What the heck do they do up there, anyway? One writer tries to unravel the mystery of The Maestro's Mojo.

The Santa Rosa Press Democrat published a scathing article today about North Coast Senator Patricia Wiggins' alleged mental decline and the far-reaching and remarkably unsuccessful attempt to cover it up. Read the story–it's a good one–but try not to be too hard on the old gal. Looks to us like she's taking decisive measures to address the problem and should be back to her usual only slightly batshit self in no time.

On New Year's Day, I picked up my niece from the airport. It was the first time since leaving New York that we got the chance to spend time with any of the family that we left behind. As my niece's visit was ending, my mother-in-law and father-in-law were arriving for an extended visit. Since their trip was planned before we moved, we knew that the kids would get to spend time with their grandparents around the holidays, which somehow made things easier.
This morning, before starting out on their journey back to New York, my in-laws came by to say goodbye. It was almost as hard as when we said our goodbyes over the summer. My son bravely choked back the tears until the door closed, and then he broke down, as did my wife. The guilt feelings that I had for moving the family to Texas came rushing back and hit me like a ton of bricks. Thankfully, my 3-yr old daughter has no concept of time, so she did her best to make us all laugh, as she flailed a toy sword around wildly. "Don't worry" she said, "I'll cheer you up!"
Her antics definitely lightened the mood for all of us. Still, I couldn't help but dwell on the fact that this was the beginning our "new normal." There are no more visits planned for the immediate future from any of the family that we left behind, and we have no plans to visit New York until sometime this summer. Even though we have been here since mid-August, in some ways, my in-laws' departure served as a stark reminder that we live far away from most of our friends and family now.
Every day, people have to deal with their own version of a "new normal," so we are certainly not unique. The passing of loved ones, the loss of a job or home and virtually every other life-altering event creates a "new normal." The only question that remains is seeing how we adapt to ours.
Some days are obviously easier than others. In fact, most days are so busy that there isn't much time to think about what we've left behind. But other days, it is difficult to be so far away from home (holidays, birthdays and other special occasions for example). The traditions that we had established over the course of many years are now changing.
Perhaps if we had relocated to an area that was within realistic driving distance, we wouldn't feel this sense of disconnection that we do now. It's not like we can easily jump in a car and drive for 28 hours to get back home, nor is it financially practical to book a flight for a family of four to visit New York. While we are all looking forward to visiting New York, I realize that we cannot spend our time focused on the future at the expense of the present.
We don't know exactly what our future holds. I imagine that we will see in the coming months if our "new normal" suits us or not. For now, we just have to do our best to adapt and live each day to the fullest.

What's Next Washington
We are formerly incarcerated individuals and allies working together to improve our ability to reintegrate into society
The inability to secure employment and housing drive recidivism.
Recidivism Harms Communities
Recidivism reduces public safety, disrupts families, and costs taxpayers $115 million each year.
Recidivism has a Significant Impact
18,000 - 20,000 people are incarcerated in Washington State.
- Approximately 95% of them will serve their time and be released.
- 8,000 people are released every year.
- 3,200 return to prison within 3 weeks to 3 years.
Recidivism Reduction Needs to Scale
Effective direct-service nonprofits and public agencies serve too few. Employers, housing providers, and service organizations do not coordinate at scale.

Happy Fri-yay <3 Yesterday I was attending Grazia Beauty Awards that we all waited for so long. It is one of the best events that happen every year in our small country and definetly "must be" place for influencer, bloggers, companies,.. I went there with one of my good friends and blogger Alja Bitenc. Ohhh and yeah.. Coctail dresscode!? This is my version of coctails dresscode.. I am not that type of girl, so this should count… Wearing my favorite jumpsuit with mules from Geox and of course The Blonde Bliss hat from spring collection! What do you think!?
P.s.: Don't you ever think that you have to fit in, because you don't! Always stay true to yourself no matter the situation.

That's what Mom always called it when people just couldn't stop talking. And apparently I have just been diagnosed. I used to cringe when my Dad would start talking to the stranger in line with us. Well that's exactly what I did tonight at Target and I paid for it. I went there to get a gift bag and b-day card. I picked the shortest line and plopped down my bag, card, french manicure kit and random other items that cost $40+. The man in front of me, whose ass looked like it just swallowed a large pole, had a single bottle of Listerine. Who goes in there for just Listerine? Certainly this man is not getting a last minute booty call. Hmm... unless he did the calling to one of "those" numbers in the back of Philly magazine. Anyhoo, here's the rundown on what happened:
Man to 16 year old stoner cashier: This is it, pointing to the Listerine.
At this point I make the mistake of not using the red bar thingy in front of my stuff. I mean he just told the dude that he only had the one item.
Me: Ha Ha. Unless you feel like paying for mine.
Man: Well maybe you should pay for mine since you have all that and I only have this.
We now both realize that the cashier is laughing and putting my items in with Mr. Anal's.
Man: No, no. I just have the Listerine.
Cashier is still just laughing.
Me: No, we're serious. We are not together. And certainly never would be in this lifetime. The last part I didn't say out loud.
Cashier: Ohhhh. I thought you were just joking.
Fast forward about 6 minutes. I am pulling the Target bag out of my car in the garage. I look in my bag and realize that I don't have the gift bag. You know the one item I actually needed. For a b-day party tomorrow! It looks like Mr. Anal has received a free Teddy Bear gift bag courtesy of Target and my big mouth. So an hour later I go back to Target for the second time in one night. Do they sell Immodium for the mouth??

Better Late Than Never
On Sunday we took Funky Chicken to get her one year pics done. After having such a long day yesterday she woke up really late. This through her whole day off. So by the time our 12:40 picture time came she was exhausted, not having napped. She didn't completely melt down but she wasn't her usual smiley self. We also didn't get any shots with her stuffed doggy. My friend Shari has a great thing that she does with her daughter. Every year she gets her picture taken with the same stuffed animal. It is great to see the progression of how big they are getting. Oh well... I guess I can get some of my own shots like that. Considering that she wasn't in the best mood the pictures came out really cute. I'm actually thinking about going back to look at some of the ones we didn't take. There is one large picture of her coming out of a block that has a 1 and the word Princess. It was too large to scan. Here's my girl:

Our Great Adventure
We took the kids to Six Flags Great Adventure. We were also joined by my BIL, SIL and niece. Everyone had a great day. The trip took about an hour and 15 minutes and the plan was that Funky Chicken would sleep on the way there. Apparently, she had other ideas. Once there we hit the Safari right away. Boy did FC love it! I took her out of the car seat and let her stand on my lap. She was pointing at the animals and banging on the glass. AJ enjoyed most of it but by the end he had enough. I think he was hungry and ready for lunch, especially since he had low blood sugar when we started. Funky also started to get super squirmy so I put her back in the seat where she promptly fell asleep. She slept for about 20 minutes and that was the poor child's only nap of the day.
AJ was responsible for the quote of the day: "Hey, they (referring to the Safari radio narration) just said Buffalo. I know what Buffalo is... that means spicy!".
This then led to a conversation between the hubby and I in which we tried to decipher what in the world the difference was between various animals such as buffalo, cattle, steer, bull, etc. We both concluded that we didn't have the foggiest idea. This is what happens when you are raised in North Jersey and only see animals on the Great Adventure Safari! Oh, and on a side note my husband had to endure the Safari as a child in a car with broken air conditioning; for those unfamiliar with the Safari windows are NOT allowed to be rolled down.
After grabbing some lunch we then went to the kiddie rides. AJ and his cousin had a great time together. Overall, they were extremely well behaved. The Daddies even got to go on a couple of rides. Of course, my SIL and I believe that this entitles us to some free Mommy time some day. The day went by amazingly fast and the next thing we knew it was the evening. We didn't leave until about 8:30 I believe. There were only 2 inconveniences to the day. The first being that I was on the verge of a migraine headache. I ended up laying down in the back seat for the ride home. The second was that I brought my camera but left the battery in the wall where it was charging. So hopefully my SIL got a few pics and I can update later.

Trying to Shake the Funk
So I feel like my life has suddenly gone on slow motion all the way around. I haven't blogged in ages because I haven't had the energy and I've been having a bit of writer's block. Plus, I've felt lousy for months... my allergies are killing me and I have a constant cough. Finally, I have fallen off the WW wagon. When I'm really watching and keeping a journal of my food all is good. But as soon as I fall I seem to fall hard. So now I am determined to clear my head. Even at the risk of boring you to death I'm going to keep blogging away. Tomorrow I'm going to make some doctors appointments, including the allergist. And I'm going to start back up with WW. I simply can not gain back any more weight. Wish me luck!

A Quick Lesson in Meteorology
This morning we had the Today show on in the background. They went to do a check of the weather and suddenly I heard AJ scream, "Hey Mom! I think he has Diabetes". I asked him how he came to that conclusion. He told me that he heard the man talking about a "low". I then needed to explain that he was talking about the high and low temperature for the day and not his blood sugar level.
Hopefully he will get to see someone on TV with Diabetes soon. We plan on watching a lot of Olympic events. Men's Volleyball will definitely be on our list since one of the players, Kevin Hansen, has Diabetes.

The Transformation is Complete
Right before I got pregnant with AJ we moved to PA and bought a home. Right after Funky Chicken was born I chopped my hair. And now I have officially transformed into the soccer mom...we have gotten our first minivan.
We went with the Dodge Grand Caravan. I have to give a shout out to Sarah's hubby Brad who hooked us up with a good deal.
I've been longing for a minivan for quite some time now. It is so nice to have the extra space. As silly as it is I'm enjoying all the cup holders. AJ is also having fun... he really likes opening the power doors. We're getting Sirius satellite radio free for a year and I'm really trying not to get addicted to it. There are many cool features that I'm loving but one of my faves is that the radio has a built in hard drive. We can store pictures and music, therefore eliminating the need to have 100 CDs in the car at any one time.
I'm trying not to be "bad minivan driver" (you know what I'm talking about). I think I'm doing pretty well... just look the other way if you see me about to park:)

A Bear of a Scare
I have lots of other things to post but not much time. Plus, I need to upload some pictures. In the meantime I thought I would share something that happened about a week ago. It all started with the hubby and I going out one day. We had someone come babysit whom we love and trust. I must start by saying that the sitter shall remain nameless because quite frankly she was mortified by this whole incident and feels terrible. We told the babysitter that the kids were going to have a late dinner. Admittedly, I should have been much more prepared. We are usually so focused on the care of AJ with his diabetes that I guess the poor second child gets a bit forgotten. I knew that the babysitter was aware that Funky Chicken can have Cheerios and crackers so I figured all would be well. Fast forward to us coming back from our time out. The babysitter informed us that Funky was not able to wait for dinner. She told us what she fed her and it sounded fine. Then she mentioned that she also gave her a snack of Panda Puffs. For those of you unaware Panda Puffs are round balls of cereal. Round... as in they are the perfect size to lodge in my daughter's throat. When my hubby mentioned this point the sitter advised that she was sitting next to Funky the whole time. Um, alright. So I guess if she started choking you would have a front row seat. Now onto the second issue with the snack. They are PEANUT BUTTER flavored. It is the fourth ingredient listed. Of course, this is about the one food that we have not tested out with her. Plus, the hubby has a slight allergy to peanuts. Whenever, he decides to have a few I need to listen to him clear his throat 1000 times in an hour. I can understand someone not hearing about gluten or soy allergies but peanut butter??? Needless to say the sitter will be much more cautious in the future and I will be a bit more specific with my directions.

Ceterna's Integration of Salesforce.com and iBeacon Drives Innovation of Mobile Apps and E-Commerce

Ceterna's integration of iBeacon within Salesforce is available for companies from all industries, get in contact for more information.
iBeacon: The Leading Edge of Mobile Communications and E-Commerce
iBeacon is Apple's technology standard allowing Mobile Apps for both IOS and Android devices to:
- Connect with beacons set up in retail, commercial or other physical spaces
- Pinpoint the location of mobile devices
- Provide targeted communications to those devices
The world's largest retailers are adopting iBeacon technology. With an iBeacon network, any brand, retailer, app, or platform will be able to understand exactly where a customer is within the brick-and-mortar environment. This provides an opportunity to send customers messages and advertisements on their smartphones. iBeacon works only through its physical location, but it does not actively push out notifications or actively track users.
Integration with Salesforce
As the world's leading CRM solution, Salesforce helps organisations manage their relationships and business strategies by integrating business processes, contacts and sales information within a single-Cloud-based platform.
Ceterna's integration of iBeacon within Salesforce drives the solution's effectiveness even further by:
Integrating Digital and Physical Business Environments – Integrating iBeacon within Salesforce solution creates a direct connection of the digital environment with the retail-level customer interactions.
Providing More Targeted Customer Communications –Leveraging pinpoint accuracy, iBeacon gives retailers the opportunity to engage a customer precisely at the right time with relevant, hyper-local, timely communications.
Generating Better Analytics – Salesforce offers insightful analytics, but the data collected through iBeacon technology takes those analytics to the next level by providing a clearer picture of customer behaviour.
Enhancing Customer Data – With iBeacon, the customer data function of Salesforce.com is enhanced to include specific location and behavioural information.
iBeacon and CRM – A Natural Integration
iBeacon offers a natural integration with CRM platforms. For example, RF Proximity's myBeacon is an end-to-end solution for a range of applications – indoors, outdoors, retail, exhibitions, tourism, security and more – with analytics and user statistics automatically produced for all iBeacon interactions. The myBeacon solution offers customised or standardised apps, along with a Content Management System that can be accessed online. See www.mybeacon.co.uk.
iBeacon Enhances Customised Solutions
Ceterna's solutions are customised to our client's business model and needs. By integrating with iBeacon, client systems will be enhanced – offering greater mobility, visibility and accuracy.

About iBeacon
iBeacon is the name for Apple's technology standard, which allows Mobile Apps (running on both IOS and Android devices) to listen for signals from beacons in the physical world and react accordingly. In essence, iBeacon technology allows Mobile Apps to understand their position on a micro-local scale, and deliver hyper-contextual content to users based on location. The underlying communication technology is Bluetooth Low Energy. www.ibeacon.com

Who knew? I am a week or so behind in reposting this link, but I was reminded about this article my friend Sammy directed me to. She too is a Jew, so she thought I'd appreciate the humor.
An article on BBC News asks the question, "Is that cellphone kosher?" Apparently, the kosher cell phones are just phones without access to any of the good stuff, but all I can picture is the rabbi in the factory, giving all of them a blessing….next to the salt.
The kosher cellphone looks like an ordinary cellphone, can make and receive calls, and may have a calculator and alarm clock.
One of the defining features of kosher mobiles is a rabbinical stamp
But it cannot send or receive text messages, browse the internet or take photos – all activities that could potentially involve behaviour considered "immodest" among Haredis.
For example, SMS capability could lead to the unwitting receipt of mass text messages publicising secular events. It could also be used as a method of illicit communication between male and female teenagers.
And all photos of women are forbidden, as is accessing websites with content deemed inappropriate.
The phone's other defining feature is a rabbinical stamp of approval, similar to those seen on kosher food items.
Ill say it. Sometimes, I wonder….

WordPress is one of the most used content management systems on the internet. By default, WordPress was coded as a CMS that was going to power blogs. However, over time and thanks to all the developers and contributors to the WordPress project, WordPress is used on many different sites today.
Speaking technically, WordPress is coded in PHP, and it is an open source project. This means that anyone can take the code, make changes to it and redistribute it. If someone wants to learn developing plugins and themes for WordPress, he or she need to have knowledge of PHP. As a developer for WordPress, you can code plugins, themes and other things.
If you want to learn WordPress, you need some resources that explain every detail correctly. There are many resources online that have some great courses about WordPress and in this post we will mention these resources that you can use. Let's get started.
Top Websites to Learn WordPress
1. WordPress Codex
The WordPress Codex is the CMS' very own repository and documentation website where you can just head over, join and start learning and contributing towards WordPress development.
Even the content is not that greatly curated, but the quality of things you will learn from here will be top-notch. This is an entirely text-based learning website so that might be a problem for a few people too. However, as someone who wants to expand their knowledge about WordPress, WordPress Codex is an unbeatable place to be.
2. WordPress.tv
WordPress.tv is an initiative run by Automattic – parent company of WordPress. This is an entirely free resource that one can use to their advantage, and it has videos on different topics related to WordPress from various WordCamp and other events.
The variety of videos and topics on which the videos are uploaded here are about topics that revolve around WordPress.
As the name suggests, WP101 is a website that is solely targeted towards providing course material related to WordPress. WP101 has some of the best WordPress training videos that teach the basics of WordPress.

Painting a metal fence
Q. I bought an older home with a wrought-iron fence. I painted it with a rust-conversion paint and it is still rusty. What kind of paint do you recommend? The fence is even pitted.
A. It is best to remove all the loose rust with steel wool or a steel brush. The pitting cannot be restored, but any rust in the pits must be removed. When this is done, apply either a metal paint with an integral primer and rust resistance or prime the fence with a metal primer and apply a top coat of paint formulated for metal.by

Introduction of Fourth Caliph Hazrat Ali (RA).
Hazrat Ali (RA) was the fourth caliph of Muslims and real cousin of Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW). He was also close companion and bravo Muslim. His full name is Ali Bin Abi Talib bin Abdul Mutalib Bin Hashem Bin Abdul Manaaf. He was also known as Abu Turab, Abu al Hassan and Haider. His mother name was Fatima Bent-e-Asad and father was Abu Talib, who was the real uncle of our Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W). He was born in 6 AD. Hazrat Ali (RA) was the first ever child who accepted Islam.
for article in Urdu (click here)
Hazrat Ali (RA) ruled over the Muslims for five years. His five years ruling period is full of rise and fall. Therefore, he did not focus completely on the matters of his dynasty. However, he never showed carelessness in his duty. He followed the way and procedure of Hazrat Umar (RA) in the field of administration.
Moral Training of Muslim Army.
The fourth caliph Hazrat Ali (RA) stressed on the moral training of his army. He used to forgive the defeated people of war. Hazrat Ali (RA) strictly forbidden his army from war crimes and brutality. He has given clear instructions to well treat women and children in the war.
Reforms in Judiciary System.
Hazrat Ali (RA) liked justice and used to kept justice among the public. He made many reforms in the Judiciary system for quick justice to public. The fourth Caliph (RA) gave autonomous status to judiciary in his government. The judges were kept free from political pressure. He sat self-examples in justice. Once a Jewish individual stole the Zara (war instrument) of Caliph Ali (RA). The caliph launched the theft case in the court against him. He produced his son Hazrat Imam Hassan (RA) as witness in the case. The Qazi (judge) decided the case against him with the reason that a son cannot be a witness of father. Hazrat Ali (RA) accepted the decision of judge happily. The decision of caliph impressed the Jewish individual and he embraced Islam.
Equal Accountability Bureau.
Hazrat Ali (RA) believed on equal accountability. He sat several example of accountability in his time. Once, he severely warned his servant on the complaint of a woman. In another case, The fourth caliph (RA) suspended his cousin Abdullah Bin Abbas over the extra expenditures of government treasury. He also suspended a great commander Ashghat Bin Qais during Jang-e-Safain (battle of Safain) over a public complaint.
Accurate Use of Government Funds.
Hazrat Ali (RA) was very careful in use of government funds. He always stressed upon the accurate use of government funds. The fourth caliph (RA) used to get very less salary from the government treasury. Once, his brother intended to get loan from government treasury. He regretted his application being not eligible for loan.
Change of Capital.
Hazrat Ali (RA) changed the capital of Islamic states from Madina to Kofa. This decision was taken for easy implementation of administrative orders. However, some disloyal people created problems for his government there. In this way, disparity of Muslims began from there. The Muslims divided into many groups. Hazrat Ali (RA) handled these problems efficiently.
Achievements of Hazrat Ali (RA).
Hazrat Ali (RA) was one of the most talented caliph and bravo companion of Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW). He has many achievements and bravery acts. Some are being explained in the succeeding paragraphs:-

b. The fourth caliph (RA) participated in numerous battles against the enemies of Islam. He fought all these battles bravely. The caliph killed Waleed Bin Utah in Jang-e-Badar (battle of Badar). He also killed notorious Jewish wrestler "Umaro Bin Abdud" in Jang-e-Khandaq (Trench Battle).
c. Hazrat Ali (RA) remained a special member in the advisory committee of previous caliphs of Islam. His advices were given sound importance in all matters.
d. The fourth caliph (RA) followed the rules and regulations of second caliph Hazrat Umar (RA) during his time. He disliked publicity and used to ignore the work of fame. The fourth caliph strengthened the democracy with his unique style. He ever considered the government treasury as public property and expended it carefully for public welfare. The fourth caliph never got undue favor from any one.
When he took the charge of government, unfortunately, he faced many problems. During this period, he met with mutiny of Ameer Mavia and Umro Bin Alghais. Therefore, he spent his maximum time in rectification of these problems. He lost the province of Egypt on these problems. Although his government was not so successful, however, the Muslims will respect him and his family for ever on his outstanding character and manners.
Jang-e-Safain (The battle of Safain).
Hazrat Ali (RA) took many bold decisions just after taking the government. He dismissed many governors of Hazrat Usman Ghani (RA) and replaced them with new governors. The governor of Syria Hazrat Ameer Mavia (RA) was also among the dismissed governors. He disobeyed the orders of Hazrat Ali (RA) and refused to leave the seat of governor. Hazrat Ameer Mavia (RA) gathered the people in a mosque and showed them the clothes of Hazrat Usman Ghani (RA). He also showed the cut fingers of Hazrat Naiyela (RA) to people. In this way, he impressed the crowed. These problems caused severe uprising in the country.
Jang-e-Jamal (The battle of Jamal).
When Hazrat Ali (RA) came to know about the mutiny, he rushed towards Syria for attack on Hazrat Ameer Mavia (RA). In the meanwhile, Hazrat Ayesha (RA) also led her army towards Basra (place) for attack. When, Hazrat Ali (RA) came to know, he turned his army towards Basra.

Light Bulb Ban Would Save Consumers $12.5 Billion by 2020, Eliminate 33 Power Plants
Photo: Flickr, CC
Too Bad Republicans Want to Block It...There a bill currently making its way through the U.S. Congress that would block certain provisions from a 2007 energy law signed by George W. bush that "effectively bans the 100-watt incandescent bulb next year and other versions subsequently". The law doesn't pick technologies, it simply mandates that bulbs need to be 30% more energy efficient, and improvement that could have great economic and environmental benefits.
Photo: Flickr, CCAccording to the NRDC, the average household's energy costs would be cut by 7% or $85 every year when the standards are fully in place, which would save consumers $12.5 billion by 2020, money that can be spent on more important things. And the beauty is that these savings are recurring. Once you switch to more efficient lighting, you save year after year after year...
Supporters say the energy law, signed by Republican President George W. Bush, will reduce air pollution by eliminating the need for 33 power plants while saving homes and businesses money. "Clearly, consumers, the economy and the environment will suffer if these standards are repealed," Jim Presswood, federal energy policy director for the Natural Resources Defense Council, said in a statement.
Check out the NRDC numbers here (pdf).
And as John said, even without legislation, market forces are pushing for more efficiency, so the venerable incandescent bulb is on its way out one way or the other... The question is, would it be better to speed up that transition?
Update: Tea Party Attempt to Block Incandescent Ban Fails to Get Enough Votes

If you have lived inside the loop for any period of time then you are no stranger to Barnaby's. A true gem of a restaurant. Casual, comfortable and inviting. The menu is a variety of home-style favorites mixed with a genuine consciousness of good health and quality.
My wife and I used to frequent the Midtown (W. Gray) location, but since moving to the Heights we tend to visit the River Oaks location most often since it is just a straight shot down Shepherd. Everyone seems to have a favorite. Especially folks who visit the Original location (604 Fairview) and Baby Baby Barnaby's which is right next door (602 Fairview) but specializes in a fantastic breakfast. The restaurant is small and always hoppin' and early morning dining (and people watching) is almost a rite of passage for Inner Loopers. Now, Barnaby's has expanded across the border, outside the Loop on Woodway.
The name comes from the name of the owner's childhood pet sheepdog and the puppy motif is prevalent in each store. Paper menus and a seat yourself mentality (when not on a wait) lend to the comfortable at home atmosphere.
The service is always quick and friendly and the menu is high quality and high quantity. The guacamole is superb, but you'll need a friend to share the generous portion. The salads are always extremely fresh and definitely large enough to be a meals in themselves. I tend to get one of the juicy, housemade burgers, but there is plenty to chose from including cold sandwiches, hot entrees and vegetarian selections as well.
If you are in the mood, the wine list is small, but well rounded with a remarkably agreeable price range.
The place is well staffed, well managed and delightfully consistent whether dining in or taking out. If you haven't tried Barnaby's you owe it to yourself. Whatever the neighborhood, you won't be disappointed.
