I'm looking to max out a circa 2003-ish 15" flat-panel iMac.

Tests of FireWire interfaces, tests of the PCI-based systems to come later:
I do like MotU stuff
Yeah, the beast's clock is all wacky, so I figure that means...
It's been a good runner and been getting a lot of use of late...though it's only a few years old and I'd've hoped the battery would...
Before I uncable the thing and pop it open, I figured I'd run it past the group here.
Is the motherboard battery on a MDD dual-1.42 the following?
3.6V 1/2AA Size Battery
So I guess for the PCI G4, to get 1 GB of RAM in the thing, one needs to use 4 of the 256MB chips...
Hopefully, I'll be able to test with the 10.4 server...
Well, the beast has the sound ports arranged horizontally, so it must be a PCI-video G4.
The slot that the video card is in looks the same as the others, just without the last "segment"....

Two reworked paintings on canvas, each 80x100cm
With Mark Borghi at his gallery, Mark Borghi Fine Art in Bridgehampton, Long Island where I have been invited to show in October.

I am staying in New York City for a month and also visiting his other gallery there where the solo show for Alyssa di Edwardo opens on 12th September.

Cambridge's leading amateur theatre production company
Established 1981
About Us
Wyrd Sisters
by Terry Pratchett, adapted by Stephen Briggs directed by Barry Brown
The ADC Theatre, Cambridge, April 2013
A Review of Wyrd Sisters
by Guy Holmes
Blending a magical mix of madness & Macbeth, Terry Pratchett's tale of a kingdom stolen then reunited with its true heir is,in his own words, 'art, holding a mirror up to life. That's why everything is exactly the wrong way round'.
Set in the mysterious Discworld, the wyrd sisters strive against divers alarums and excursions to defeat an evil king and queen, whilst confronting a band of dim-witted soldiers, strolling players, and the ghost of the previous king. Stephen Briggs adaptation for the stage brings all of these ingredients together in a script that owes more to Monty Python than it does to Shakespeare. With the merest nods to Hamlet and the Scottish play, the script is more loonery than literature. It is fun, very entertaining, with some of the wonderfully descriptive text from the original novel, and hilarious one-liners. Whilst it handles some mature themes, it does so with the warmth and security of a bed time fairy tale. It is not so much a serious play as it is pantomime meets prestidigitation meets patricide.
To make sense of such nonsense takes a director of unique talent, bold vision, a deep understanding of comedy, and a style unhampered by convention. Barry Brown is just such a chap and he hasn't held back. In this production he spills forth the full cauldron of his creativity to great effect. It is a visual treat. The steam punk sets including a cat's cradle of copper & brass pipes, enough torture paraphernalia to keep the whole of Westminster permanently in recess, and ships gear from the Titanic's bigger sister, decorate the stage like art installations. But he doesn't stop there. Playing on the theme of a play within a play, a second stage, complete with proscenium, sits centre stage, where it focuses the attention of the audience and somehow creates even greater intimacy. Add to this the profusion of his own artistic creations, and the stylish
film sequences that are woven into the action, and stage and screen blend together to deliver a backdrop that is spellbinding.
In making all of this work, his backstage team deserve special recognition for their magnificent efforts. Barney Brown's music, film and sound design is magical. These witty & original compositions set the style of the play without dominating and are wonderful to watch. Tony Broscomb's set is technical wizardry of the highest order. Combining truck sets with the second proscenium is impressive, but my favourite is the exploding door. Every play should have one. Ben McKeegan, technical director, has somehow joined all of these elements together. No mean feat.
The play is very episodic. Scenes are often just small sketches lasting only a few minutes before they move on to the next with revue-like speed. There is often little time to establish a scene before it is over. Such a hectic play demands strong characterisation, pace, clarity and energy to do it justice. The cast set out with conviction and commitment to deliver just this, the most experienced and talented of them leading the way. That many of the actors largely pulled it off, first night wobbles aside, is testament to their hard work and direction.
Out of a very capable cast of many, special mention must be reserved for the wyrd sisters. Take a bonnet of big hair, a ladle of clown white, some cackling, writhing, and expulsion from the Lancre WI, and you have a taste of what it takes to be a witch in Discworld. Granny Weatherwax (Madeleine Forrester) was indefatigable as the crabbiest in the coven. Leading from the front, she set the pace with her energy, masterly characterisation, and sheer all-round tetchy witchy-ness. The tattooed and curvy Nanny Ogg (Mandi Cattell plus a profusion of prosthetic padding) was a formidable broom-fellow, just the sort of lass you'd want to have watching your back in a bareknuckle fight, and the naiave ingenue witchlet Magrat Garlick (Fran Burgoyne) 'with eyes like two flies in a sugar bowl', was excellent, full of feeling and expression. These were three very strong performances and set the standard high for the rest of the cast to follow.
Duke Felmet was ably played with madness, misery, and pruritus by Sean Baker. His descent into lunacy and oblivion, as guilt and a tumble from the battlements took their toll, were nicely done. His wife, the sadistic, threatening, and dominating Christine Stewart captured the essence of Lady Felmet right down to her riding crop, which she handled with aplomb. Far more of a witch than any of the wyrd sisters, this too was a strong performance.
As for the rest of the cast, fine cameo performances were turned in by Sally Marsh (unrecognisable as a demon emerging from a crucible), Colin Lawrence (Mr Vitoller in the style of James Robertson Justice), Peter Simmons (the hirsute and former King), and Hugh Mellor (The Chamberlain and Divers Alarum Sounder). The experience and ability of these actors made a contribution to the production that was far greater than the sum of their small, albeit perfectly formed, parts. Mike Milne deserves special mention for best comic timing of the night, Steven Kitson (The Fool) for impressive bladder control, and Emma Miles (Hwel Shakespeare) who although diminutive in stature was large in presence.
The fantastic steam punk costumes of Lyn Quelch & Margaret Thorp were excellent, as were the make-up designs of Hannah Curtis. Costumes and make-up worked in harmony, complementing the play perfectly. There were many more people both on stage and behind the scenes who worked hard to make this play happen. Whilst it isn't possible to mention each of them individually, their commitment and contribution are recognised and acknowledged.
Barry Brown's production is original, imaginative, witty, stylish, visually stunning, and very silly. With so much of the director emotionally
invested in it, it is not so much an oeuvre as a labour of love.t is unique and thoroughly deserves to succeed.

Working Remotely – Computing on the Go!
While great for creativity and collaboration, working in an open office can be a minefield of distractions that employees have to gingerly pick their way over as they go about their day and complete tasks. Interruptions come in all shapes and sizes, and can poke countless holes in your to-do list until it's in tatters.
How Working Remotely Helps
Working remotely can help your employees zero in and focus better on their work, completing it faster and doing it better than they might while in the office. Whether their comfort zone is a coffee shop humming with chatter or on their back patio with birds for company, remote work allows your employees to work where they're most productive and comfortable.
Battling through Interruptions
Most commuters start their work day an hour or more before they're even in the office. That time is spent battling through rush hour traffic, leaving them tense and distracted before they get to their desk.
In most offices, interruptions happen once every 11 minutes. Once interrupted, it can take someone upwards of 20 minutes to completely refocus on whatever they were doing.
The shrill ring of a phone can cut through an employee's focus and completely throw them off track. A coworker droning on the latest episode of The Walking Dead can be a major distraction.
Giving employees the option of working remotely can help improve their focus, which in turn improves the quality of the work they do.
Even More Benefits
Having the freedom of working remotely allows your team to create their ideal workspace, with minimal distractions and interruptions. This also reduces stress levels, which boosts your employee's overall health and cuts down on the need for sick days.
Video conferencing and call forwarding to their cell allows your employees to stay connected, regardless of geographical location.
By nixing the need for a commute, you're also helping the environment and cutting down on the carbon footprint your company leaves.
When your employees function at their best, your business functions at its best. If you're interested in equipping your business with the right solutions for a successful remote workforce, give Diverge IT a call today!

Historical Facts
The Mayan civilization spread into the area of Belize between 1500 B.C. and A.D. 300 and flourished until about 1200. The recorded history of the centre and south is dominated by Caracol, where the inscriptions on their monuments were, as elsewhere, in the Lowland Maya aristocratic tongue Classic Ch'olti'an. North of the Maya Mountains, the inscriptional language at Lamanai was Yucatecan as of A.D. 625.
Historical Facts
The Spanish were the first to lay claim to the area now known as Belize, having colonized the area now know as Belize in the 16th and 17th centuries. The British, however, were the first to actually settle in the territory. Pirates sheltered inside the reef, using the small cayes as a base for attack against Spanish ships. By the late 1600's many British settled along the coast, making their living cutting logwood. These British settlers came to depend on slave labor for the harsh logging work in Belize.
Why Visit Belize?
The internationally famous Belize Zoo was started as a home for wild animals that had been used in making documentary films. The zoo's creators soon realized that Belizeans were unfamiliar with their native animals and they decided to develop a wildlife education center. The zoo exhibits over 125 native animals, all were orphaned, born at the zoo, or rehabilitated pets. The enclosures are large, natural pens.

Physical Activity
: The Jaguar Preserve has some of the best jungle hiking trails in Belize. Plants are identified along the trails and animals are often seen (jaguars are rarely seen, although they live here). The problem is it's hard to get to, a bus will drop you off at the Maya Centre along the Southern Highway, but you have to hitch the last 7 miles. You may have heard about this fabulous one day river run, which travels for miles underground. The Caves Branch River is a unique river that flows through the karst foothill region of the Maya Mountains in central Belize. Its headwaters are deep underground in a cave, and after it emerges it flows for 20-30 miles through rainforest before meeting the Sibun River. During its course through the jungle it encounters numerous limestone hills, and instead of following a path around these obstacles it plunges through them in a series of caves, some of which are 2 miles long. Belize's largest Mayan ruin, Caracol has recently received attention as the site of discoveries that have contributed to new understanding of the Maya.
Physical Feature
The largest and most historically important river is the Belize River, which drains more than one-quarter of the country as it winds along the northern edge of the Maya Mountains across the center of the country to the sea near Belize City. Also known as the Old River, the Belize River is navigable up to the Guatemalan border and served as the main artery of commerce and communication between the interior and the coast until well into the twentieth century.
Physical Feature
The most visually striking of these regions is distinguished by the Maya Mountains and the associated basins and plateaus that dominate all but the narrow coastal plain in the southern half of the country. The mountains rise to heights of about 1,100 metres, with the highest point being Doyle's Delight (1,160 m) in the Cockscomb Range - a spur of the Maya Mountains in Western Belize. Covered with shallow, highly erodible soils of low fertility, these heavily forested highlands are very sparsely inhabited.

Costa Rica
Type of Government:
Democratic Republic
A state in which the supreme power rests in the body of citizens entitled to vote for officers and representatives responsible to them.
Historical Facts
September 18, 1502 - Christopher Columbus visits the area and names it Costa Rica (translates as Rich Coast)
The indigenous tribes living in Costa Rica were the Caribs, Borucas, Chibchas, and Diquis.
Columbus was making his fourth and final voyage to the New World. As he was setting anchor off shore, a crowd of local Carib Indians paddled out in canoes and greeted his crew warmly. Later, the golden bands that the region's inhabitants wore in their noses and ears would inspire the Spaniard Gil Gonzalez Davila to name the country
Costa Rica
, or Rich Coast.
Historical Facts
In 1562, Juan Vásquez de Coronado--the true conquistador of Costa Rica--arrived as governor. He treated the surviving indigenous people more humanely and moved the few existing Spanish settlers into the Cartago Valley, where the temperate climate and rich volcanic soils offered the promise of crop cultivation. Cartago was established as the national capital in 1563. The economic and social development of the Spanish provinces was traditionally the work of the soldiers, who were granted
landholdings that allowed for rights to the use of indigenous serfs. Coronado, however, to the regret of his subordinates, never made use of this system; in response, the indigenous people, led by chief Quitao, willingly subjugated themselves to Spanish rule. Coronado's successor allowed the Spanish to enslave the local population. Soon, there were virtually no indigenous people left alive in the region

Physical Feature
The Pacific Ocean lies to the west, with the Caribbean Sea bordering the east shoreline of the country. These boundaries with the Pacific and Caribbean provides Costa Rica's physical features with over 800 miles of tropical coastline.
Costa Rica is situated at about 10 degrees latitude north of the equator. At it's widest point the country is barely 200 miles wide. For retirement purposes, one of the nicest features of Costa Rica is its close proximity to the United States. Those who decide to retire abroad to Costa Rica will find themselves in a convenient time zone and not too far away from friends, family, or healthcare in the United States.

El Salvador
Type of Government:
A representative democracy in which the people's elected deputies (representatives), not the people themselves, vote on legislation.
Historical Facts
The indigenous population of El Salvador were the Pipils. Many Salvadorans think that Pipil is the main indigenous root of the Salvadoran people. Pipiles may have been the largest group at the time of the Spanish conquest and might be the only group that maintained an explicitly indigenous identity beyond the matanza of the 1930s, but El Salvador has many different groups of indigenous within its history. In fact, the Pipiles did not even arrive on the scene from central Mexico until about 610 A.D.
Historical Facts
On September 15, 1821 the independence of Central America from Spain was declared in Guatemala. At this time, Central America became the "Federation of Central America" which was composed of 5 states (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica).
Why Visit El Salvador?
One of El Salvador's biggest cities, Santa Ana is a very pleasant place to explore on foot. The most impressive building in the city is surely the Theatre, with its immaculately restored lavish interior – we oohed and aahed our way around the cavernous interior of this 100 year old architectural masterpiece, built on the profits of the nearby coffee plantations. The cathedral in the main square is also worth a look, while most visitors to the city will enjoy getting lost in the narrow alleys of the street market.
Why Visit El Salvador?
The best day hike on our whole trip, this 4 hour walk took us to the crater rim of a volcano that last had a major eruption only 5 years ago. The effort is rewarded generously by the incredible view into the crater when you reach the top. For hikers Suchitoto offers some great trails. One walk (more of a scramble) is just out of town at Los Tercios, a geological oddity that consists of a wall of strange hexagonal rocks. It's an impressive waterfall in the summer by all accounts, but for our arrival we were able to admire the rocks without the distraction of running water.
Physical Feature
Two parallel mountain ranges cross El Salvador to west with a central plateau between them and a narrow coastal plain hugging the Pacific. These physical features divide the country into two physiographic regions. The mountain ranges and central plateau, covering 85 percent of the land, comprise the interior highlands. The remaining coastal plains are referred to as the Pacific lowlands.
The northern range of mountains, the Sierra Madre, form a continuous chain along the border with Honduras. Elevations in this region range from 1,600 to 2,700 meters. The southern range of mountains is actually a discontinuous chain of more than twenty volcanoes, clustered into five groups. The westernmost group, near the Guatemalan border, contains Izalco and Santa Ana, which at 2,365 meters is the highest volcano in El Salvador.
Physical Feature
Numerous lakes of volcanic origin are found in the interior highlands; many of these lakes are surrounded by mountains and have high, steep banks. The largest lake, the Lago de Ilopango, lies just to the east of the capital. Other large lakes include the Lago de Coatepeque in the west and the Lago de G�ija on the Guatemalan border. The Cerron Grande Dam on the Rio Lempa has created a large reservoir, the Embalse Cerron Grande, in northern El Salvador.

Historical Facts
Guatemala ruled by liberal President Justo Rufino Barrios, who modernises the country, develops the army and introduces coffee growing. In the 1870's President Justo Rufino Barrios enacted a number of policies aimed at making coffee the primary commodity in the Guatemalan economy and by 1880, coffee sales made up 90% of Guatemala's exports. Unfortunately, not all Guatemalans benefited from this economic shift, as many indigenous peoples had their land expropriated to become part of the large coffee plantations, or
Historical Facts
The history of Guatemala is marked by moments both magic and tragic. Guatemala's indigenous Maya people form the base of Guatemalan culture, and their large indigenous presence is perhaps what makes Guatemala most standout from other Central American countries. The surviving Maya people not only give a face to the country, but to much of its history as well. The magic in Guatemala's history comes from the Maya and from the people of Guatemala as a whole, for they are people who continue to celebrate life in the face of adversity. Throughout the history of Guatemala, wars over land and power characterize the tragic. Thankfully, the democratic society that many Guatemalans desire to adhere themselves to is becoming more and more a reality.
Why Visit Guatemala?
Hike a Volcano:
The Pacaya volcano is one of the most, if not the most climbed volcanoes in Guatemala. Rising to an altitude of 8,371 feet, the Pacaya volcano has been continually active since 1965. Found near Lake Atitlan, you can hike the volcano by yourself, but for safety reasons and for the sake of information, it is a good idea to use a guide. One of the biggest thrills to climbing Pacaya, besides the panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, is the chance you will have to peer inside its cone. Trips to this amazing entry among Guatemala attractions can be arranged most easily in Antigua and Panajachel.
Why Visit Guatemala?
Relax on the Beach:
While Guatemala is not among the most mentioned places to go beach hunting, along the country's Pacific coast you will find plenty of relaxing seaside stretches that offer relaxation and wonderful sunsets. Often not mentioned among tourist attractions in Guatemala, these Pacific beaches feature black sand that is a result of the country's volcanic countryside. Monterrico is the best known of Guatemala beaches, and spending at least a day there is a worthy addition to your list of Guatemala things to do.
Physical Feature
With 33 volcanoes spread throughout its highlands, Guatemala is one of those rear destinations that rewards even the most jaded world traveler with revelatory experiences.Pacaya: An active, unpredictable volcano, Pacaya recently dumped tons of volcanic sand on Guatemala City, 18 miles away! This volcano proveds a constant show of ash clouds and lawa flow. Toliman, Atitlan & San Pedro: These three majestic volcanoes towering above Lake Atitlan form the natural dam that contains the lake. At night, spectacular displays of lightning can be seen beyond their peaks from Panajachel. A smaller volcano called Cerro de Oro, on the south side of the lake once contained a Maya fortress in its crater.
Physical Feature
The principal rivers of Guatemala are the Motagua, Usumacinta, Dulce, Polochic, and Sarstun. The Motagua drains and divides the highlands and is navigable in its lower reaches, where it forms the boundary with Honduras before it empties into the Caribbean Sea. The Usumacinta, navigable for 480 km (300 mi), winds through the northern lowlands, forming part of the boundary between the Peten and Mexico, and then meanders across the Mexican state of Tabasco to the Gulf of Mexico. The Salinas, a tributary of the Usumacinta, and the Polochic drain the central Verapaz region.

Historical Facts
During the first millennium, Honduras was inhabited by the Maya. Columbus explored the country in 1502.
Copan Mayan
are considered the most important ruins for the fully intact hieroglyphs. The main source of how we know Maya history today. The final ruler of Copan, U Cit Tok', came to power in AD 822, it is still unknown when he died. It was during the reign of U Cit Tok' that the kingdom began to diminish. A symbol of this tragic downfall is Altar L which in AD 822 the king commissioned a monument to represent his time in power, however it was never completed.
Historical Facts
In 1969, El Salvador invaded Honduras after Honduran landowners deported several thousand Salvadorans. Five thousand people ultimately died in what is called "the football war" because it broke out during a soccer game between the two countries. By threatening economic sanctions and military intervention, the Organization of American States (OAS) induced El Salvador to withdraw. On June 26, the day before the deciding match was played in Mexico (won 3-2 by El Salvador), El Salvador announced that it was severing diplomatic relations with Honduras. The government justified this action by stating that Honduras had taken no action to punish those who had committed crimes against Salvadoran immigrants.
Why Visit Honduras?
The Beaches:
The Bay Islands have wonderful beaches that are less crowded than some other more popular Caribbean destinations, and the sandy beaches shaded by palm trees are just as enticing both on the islands and the mainland. West Bay in Roatoan island is the best beach in the country (although it is very difficult to pick just one beach). For unspoiled beaches, visit the coastline of Punta Sal National Park.
Why Visit Honduras?
The Nature:
Cusuco National Park is one of the most amazing and exotic parks in the world, and for many people it is the chief reason for traveling to Honduras. The park is incredibly varied in terms of flora, faun and landscape (the altitude ranges from sea level to almost 2500 meters), and trekking though its rainforests is an unforgettable experience. La Tigra National Park, Cerro Azul de Copán National Park or Montaña Santa Bárbara National Park are only a few of the many parks in Honduras.
Physical Feature
The climate varies from tropical in the lowlands to temperate in the mountains. The central and southern regions are relatively hotter and less humid than the northern coast.
The Honduran territory consists mainly of mountains, but there are narrow plains along the coasts, a large undeveloped lowland jungle La Mosquitia region in the northeast, and the heavily populated lowland Sula valley in the northwest.
Physical Feature
Honduras is a water-rich country. The most important river in Honduras is the Ulúa, which flows 400 kilometers to the Caribbean through the economically important Valle de Sula. Numerous other rivers drain the interior highlands and empty north into the Caribbean. These other rivers are important, not as transportation routes, but because of the broad fertile valleys they have produced.

Historical Facts
Discovering the Pacific Ocean:
The Indians with whom Balboa became friendly told him of a great sea just a few days travel away, and it was his burning desire to find this sea that inspired Balboa to march into the wild, steaming jungles of Panama.
Why Visit Panama?
Explore Rainforest:
Isolated by the confluence of the Panama Canal and the Chagres River, the Gamboa Rainforest is a world apart. Here's you'll find iridescent birds, graceful jaguars and lush tropical forest. You'll ride a tram to the top of the forest canopy for awe-inspiring views of the rainforest, the canal, and the small town nestled between the two.
Why visit Panama?
Eye-catching enchantment and tourist spots. The country has a very interesting and fascinating tropical rainforests and cool and famous mountains that house to a great number of birds on different species. For beach lovers, you will be allured by its Caribbean style beaches and islands that are good for diving, snorkeling and fishing. There is a beach everywhere you go in Panama. And no where in the world where you can see both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Physical Feature
The canal The Panama Canal lies at a latitude of 9° N, at a point where the North American Continental Divide dips to one of its lowest points. The canal does not, as is generally supposed, cross the isthmus from east to west. It runs due south from its entrance at Colón on the Atlantic side through the Gatún Locks to a point in the widest portion of Gatún Lake; it then turns sharply toward the east and follows a course generally to the southeast until it reaches the Bay of Panama, on the Pacific side.
Physical Feature
Panama's highlands offer cool year-round weather, and have become a popular retirement destination for folks from all over the world. And if you love coffee, have we got a treat for you! Panama's Chiriqui province is home to some of the best beans in the world. Boquete is Panama's premier mountain destination.

Type of Government:
Federal Presidential Republic.
In a federal republic, there is a division of powers between the national ("federal") government, and the government of the individual subdivisions. While each federal republic manages this division of powers differently, national security and defense, monetary policy, and other issues of a "national" scope are handled at the "federal" level while more local issues such as road and infrastructure maintenance and education policy are handled at the local level. In other words, while the federal government has ultimate sovereignty, there is a limited sovereignty granted to the subdivisions, where the federal government does not have jurisdiction. This is in contrast to a unitary republic whereby the national government has complete sovereignty over all aspects of political life, with purely administrative subdivisions, and a confederation whereby the constituent states retain ultimate sovereignty.
Historical Facts
The Olmecs
The Olmecs, Mexico's first known society, settled on the Gulf Cost near what is now Veracruz. Remembered for the giant heat sculptures they carved for native stone, the Olmecs had two main population centers: San Lorenzo, which flourished from about 1200 to 900 B.C., and La Venta in Tabasco, which lasted until about 600 B.C
Historical Facts
The Mayans
The Mayans, widely considered to be Pre-Columbian America's most brilliant civilization, thrived between approximately 250 and 900 A.D. They developed a calendar and writing system and built cities that functioned as hubs for the surrounding farming towns. The ceremonial center of Mayan cities featured plazas surrounded by tall temple pyramids and lower buildings called "palaces." Religion played a central role in Mayan life, and altars were carved with significant dates, histories and elaborate human and divine figures. The Mayan civilization collapsed in the early 10th century, likely due to overpopulation and the resultant damage to the ecological balance.
Why Visit Mexico?
Mexico is one of the most affordable international vacations you can take. A number of airlines that fly to Mexico have travel packages that can make the overall trip more affordable for you. They're especially affordable when not around any major holidays, as there is less of a demand to fly there. In addition, most of the attractions in Mexico are free for visitors, which is ideal if you're on a budget.
Why Visit Mexico?
While many travelers flock to the world class beaches of Mexico, we have quite a few sources of cool refreshing water that are perfect destinations for summer travel! Natural pools called cenotes –secluded and revitalizing – are scattered around the Yucatan Peninsula and provide a delicious respite from the heat in between visits to mystical Mayan ruins. Rushing rivers cruise through Mexico's canyons (the Copper Canyon, Sumidero Canyon) and to the coasts offering rafting, canoeing, kayaking and swimming. Mexico's mountain lakes stay cool throughout the hottest months of summer and their energizing waters invite a dip whether on a hike, a day trip or even a shopping trip! The Sea of Cortez has been named "the World's Aquarium" and has marine wildlife beyond your wildest dreams.
Physical Feature
Baja California is an example of a peninsula. A peninsula is a piece of land almost surrounded by water or projecting out into a body of water.
Physical Feature
Mexico is home to several mountain ranges including the Sierra Madre, Sierra Madre Occidental, Sierra de Pachuca and the Sierra Nevada. A mountain is a large natural elevation of the earth's surface rising abruptly from the surrounding level; a large steep hill.

In literature, post-irony generally refers to a return to sincerity when the author or character was previously speaking ironically or sarcastically. Some kinds of post-irony literally refer to a change of heart on the part of an author or character. Other kinds of post-irony refer to previously written works that were ironic in their time but are no longer considered as such. A third version of this literary device refers to a moment in which a character or author is being both ironic and sincere at the same time. This last use of this device is often done accidentally, as it is often difficult to combine sarcasm and sincerity on purpose without sounding contrived.
The first definition for post-irony, wherein a character switches between sarcasm and sincerity in the blink of an eye, can be seen in many works of literature. In Shakespeare's play Hamlet, for example, the title character sometimes becomes the pillar of post-irony. After the appearance of his ghostly father, Hamlet's speeches constantly wash between ironic ramblings and very sincere and earnest truths. This happens most often when he is speaking to his Uncle Claudius or his mother, Gertrude. He answers their questions with sarcastic, often unhinged, statements and then emphasizes them with earnest and sinister asides to the audience.
The second definition for post-irony, when something previously ironic is no longer perceived that way, can be seen in older works of literature and film. In the film The Graduate, for example, the main character, Ben, is approached by one of his father's friends. This older gentleman advises Ben to get involved in the production of plastics. In 1967, when the film was made, this scene was viewed as ironic. Plastics were not necessarily seen as a forward-thinking thing in which to invest and the result was uproarious laughter from the audience. Modern viewers of this film often see this scene as good advice since plastic production later became a large and lucrative business.
The third version of post-irony, where it becomes jumbled with sincerity, is possibly the hardest type to pinpoint. One example of this kind of post-irony may be evident in Jonathan Swift's satire A Modest Proposal. This essay states that if the Irish under English rule don't have enough resources to feed their children, they should eat them. Swift says that this would solve the overpopulation problems, and that the Irish would have an unlimited supply of food. Of course, this was an ironic essay because Swift did not intend for Irish families to turn to cannibalism. He did intend to attract attention to a very serious problem however — Irish families were starving and the English were doing nothing about it. This work of literature carefully conflates sarcasm and sincerity so that the reader may see both sides of the issue at hand.
Post 2
Irony, so long a tool of the underground, is often tied closely to authenticity. An "authentic" person doing something decidedly "inauthentic" (listening to N*Sync) made for the best sort of late-90s/early-00s irony.
Post 1
Lena Dunham, the creator of Girls, is a master of post ironic-chatter. Her movie, Tiny Furniture, typifies post irony by having a "who cares?" attitude, while discussing and weighing questions everyone cares greatly about.

Teen depression and suicide is a growing issue, to the point where suicide is now the second-leading cause of death in teens and has increased nationally by 30% since 1999.

What is Suicidal Ideation?
Suicide ideation means wanting to and thinking logistically about taking your own life. It can be both passive and active. Passive refers to when your teen will have thoughts about dying and how they wish they could be dead. Active is far more dangerous, as it could lead to your child making an attempt on their life.
Suicide ideation is also far more prevalent in teens and young adults between ages 18 to 25, or in other words when your child in middle and Highschool or is away at college for the first time. By recognizing the symptoms of depression before, you can get them help before they feel like they are all alone.
Suicide Help for Teenagers
Suicidal ideation often comes as a result of a mental illness like depression, bipolar disorder, or anxiety, though all mental illnesses carry a risk of resulting in suicidal thoughts. Suicide help for teenagers is done through several methods. There can be a medical component in order to combat a chemical imbalance in the brain. Our teenage suicide treatment center also specializes in holistic healing and therapy, to help your child understand what is happening to them, and to give them the tools and skills they need to deal with their mental illness and suicidal ideation.

[KCNA/via Reuters] China's Xi Jinping is expected to hold talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un after he arrived in Pyongyang in the first state visit by a Chinese president in 14 years. Analysts say denuclearisation of Korean Peninsula and Pyongyang's failing economy in the wake of international sanctions are likely to top the agenda of the talks. The Chinese president is meeting Kim for the fifth time since March last year, and the two leaders will pay tribute to Chinese soldiers who fought for the North during the Korean War nearly 70 years ago. In a front page op-ed that was published in North Korea's official Rodong Sinmun newspaper ahead of the visit, Xi called for the "new development of relations" between China and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the official name for North Korea. The trip highlights two-way ties that "never waver despite any headwinds" and strengthens "blood ties" between the two peoples, the Rodong Sinmun newspaper said in a front-page commentary on Thursday. Xi's two-day state visit aims to deepen long-standing ties between the two countries and convince Pyongyang to give up its nuclear weapons in lieu of economic aid. The Chinese president is accompanied by his Foreign Minister Wang Yi and other officials and will push for his country's role in nuclear diplomacy amid rising trade tensions with the US. Xi is due to meet US President Donald Trump at the G20 in Japan next week, and has just returned from Moscow where he held talks and celebrated his birthday with Russian President Vladimir Putin over cake, ice cream and champagne. North Korea must deliver 'blow' to those imposing sanctions In May, Kim also met Putin, where the two men discussed the collapse of Kim's second summit with Trump in February. "There's a (diplomatic) role for China to play because I think North Korea itself is willing to offer some additional concessions," said Tong Zhou, an expert in China-North Korea relations at the Carnegie-Tsinghua Centre for Global Policy in Beijing. "China, using its 'special relationship' can help provide a face-saving way for North Korea to soften its position." Economic struggle When Xi and Kim last met – in Beijing in January – the North Korean leader promised to "achieve results" at his second summit with Trump held in the Vietnamese capital Honoi. That summit broke down with the North apparently pushing for too many concessions and the US unwilling to relax sanctions. This time Xi might try to nudge Kim back to the table, perhaps based on a roadmap worked out with Russia, according to analysts. He would then be able to relay Kim's response to Trump in Japan. Trade between China and North Korea has persisted despite China's support for sanctions, which were tightened in 2017 and are having an increasing impact on the country. While the DPRK does not release economic data, William Brown, an academic at Georgetown University School of Foreign Service and a non-resident scholar at the Korea Economic Institute of America, says trade between North Korea and China has fallen to "very depressed" levels. China's imports from North Korea were just $54.6m in the first three months of 2019, while exports were $455m, about half the average in the quarters before the stricter regime was introduced. Nevertheless, China remains the North's largest trading partner, buying up 90 percent of its exports - including coal and textiles - and providing 94 percent of the country's imports, according to the Observatory of Economic Complexity, an MIT trade data project. The data suggests the North's trade dependency on China has only grown – back in 2010 China's share of exports was only 42 percent and imports 53 percent. For China, the goal of even limited economic co-operation is to maintain stability on the peninsula and prevent the regime's collapse. Some 10 million North Koreans, about 40 percent of the population, are facing "severe food shortages" after the worst harvest on record, according to a United Nations assessment that was released in May. In the 1990s, a famine killed as many as 2.4 million people in the North. And China, as well as Japan, the US and South Korea, have been providing food aid ever since. Chinese assistance has also tended to coincide with major visits, including Xi's last trip to the North in 2008 when he was the vice president. The Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge has become a major tourist attraction (Dake Kang/AP Photo] Tourism potential But analysts say Xi is likely to look beyond direct aid to offer the kind of face-saving economic initiatives that would preserve North Korean pride despite its economic difficulties. "Xi Jinping has to tread carefully," said Youngshik Bong, a research fellow and expert in North Korea at Yonsei University. "China has to maintain the sanctions regime, but it also must give something to Kim Jong Un and incentivise him into further denuclearisation efforts." Such measures could include 'people-to-people' exchanges and expanding tourism. Bong said more visitors from the mainland could be a potential "cash cow" to the North, particularly as it looks to address a foreign currency gap triggered by a sanctions-mandated reduction in North Korean workers sent overseas. Both China and Russia have said they will stop hiring North Koreans by December. In April, China finally opened a long-completed bridge along the Yalu River, which runs along much of the 1,400km long border between the two countries. The bridge between the city of Jian and North Korea's Manpo was finished in 2016. Closer to the mouth of the river the Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge connecting Dandong in China with Sinuiju in the North has become a major tourist attraction. Mao Zedong once described the relationship between China and North Korea as like "lips and teeth" and while informal trade has long been a hallmark of the border, the government in Beijing has more recently sought to showcase the benefits of economic liberalisation and rapid growth to North Korea's leaders. "China ultimately wants stability from the Korean peninsula," said Adam Ni, a China researcher at Macquarie University in Sydney. "But this stability is one in which China is the key player in determining the region's fate. It wants good relations with the Koreas; it wants to keep the US off balance on the Korean peninsula, and it wants to preserve a relatively stable border in its northeast." The focus on stability suggests there are limits to how far China is prepared to go in order to kickstart the stalled nuclear talks. North Korea may be increasingly dependent on China economically, but China's leverage exists largely in theory. "For China to cut off that economic lifeline it will have to give up a decades-long relationship with the DPRK and risk turning a nuclear-armed North Korea against it," said Carnegie-Tsinghua Centre's Tong. "China cares about its own security and it is not going to put itself in the crosshairs of North Korea to help the US."

Growing hope, strength and joy...
Dakota, known as Cody to his family and friends, is an amazing 13-year-old boy from North East, PA, who is continually thinking of others before himself, even as he battles cancer. When choosing a wish, Cody knew he wanted his wish to center around his love of the outdoors, and he wanted it to somehow have a positive effect on others.
After careful consideration, this selfless young man decided he wanted a greenhouse of his own. He thought it would be great to see plants and vegetables grow from a seed into something amazing. He said he wanted to grow something with his own hands to bring happiness to his family and others.
On a cold, rainy day, his volunteers and some great Make-A-Wish® partners came together to create Cody's wish. The greenhouse was assembled by volunteers; Stan's Garden Center and Luke's Greenhouse donated plants and seeds; Ace Hardware donated planting tables; and Cody donated the extremely positive attitude. The volunteers agreed that they couldn't possibly allow the dampness of the weather to dampen their hearts – Cody's broad smile as he saw each piece of his greenhouse assembled filled everyone around him with warmth and joy.
After seeing his dream realized, Cody decided to take his wish one step further. He now hopes to grow vegetables and plants and sell them, donating the proceeds to Make-A-Wish to help other children's wishes come true.
Dakota and family
Dakota makes things grow
Cody's desire to help other children receive their own wish and his passion for creating new life by growing plants is what prompted the greenhouse wish. He has always been a very caring child. This is his way of paying it forward.

Tomorrow we begin our journey through the Bible together. Here are just a few things to keep in mind.
1 – Here is the link to the reading guide:
2 – We'll begin with Genesis, Matthew, Psalms and Proverbs. Here is a quick overview of Genesis, watch for overviews of the other books in coming days.
More than simply being the first book in the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible, Genesis is truly the foundation of the Jewish faith. The first eleven chapters contain four significant stories: The Creation (there are actually two creation stories – did you notice?), The Fall, Noah & the Flood, and the Tower of Babel. More than just being historical synopses, these stories play a very important role in informing the people of some of the foundational elements of their faith and how they as Hebrews see the world in which they live. The creation stories gave the Hebrews some context as to how the world as they knew it came to be (the main point here being that God created it, taking chaos and giving order to it). The Fall story helped "explain" why there was evil in the world. While it's easy to view the Noah & the Flood story as punishment for what happens when you fail to follow God's will, the Hebrews actually saw this story as a sign of great promise when one (like Noah) was faithful (the rainbow!) Finally, the Tower of Babel story not only emphasized the importance of aligning one's self with God's plan, but served to explain the existence of differing nationalities and languages in the greater world.
The second half of Genesis chronicles the four primary matriarchs and patriarchs of the Hebrew faith. God called Abraham to be the father of God's people, promising him descendants that would number "as many as the stars in the sky." Abraham married Sarah, and after Abraham had Ishmael with Hagar (supposedly the great-grandfather of the Muslim prophet Mohammed), Abraham and Sarah gave birth to Isaac, the second patriarch. Not much is known about Isaac, other than he married Rebekah and had Jacob. The sibling rivalry between Jacob and his older brother Esau is legendary, with Jacob coming out on top with the family blessing. He would go on to marry Rachel (after being tricked to marry her older sister Leah), and would many sons that would go on to become the 12 tribes of Israel. Another son was the famous Joseph. Sold into slavery by jealous brothers, Joseph wound up saving his people from death at the hands of a horrible famine that devastated the ancient world, bringing them to Egypt and setting the stage for what would follow in Exodus.
Genesis covers a lot of history for sure! But a foundational history it certainly is. Enjoy soaking it up over the next few weeks!
3 – If you are planning to be a part of this exciting adventure please let Shasta know and send her your email so you can get discussion questions, updates and more.
4 – Beginning in February we will gather once a month to talk about what we are reading. After worship we'll gather in the Fellowship Hall to talk, share and encounter God's word. We hope you'll pack a lunch, or run get something and make this a part of this journey. Meetings will be the 2nd Sunday of the month at Noon: February 9, March 9, April 13, May 11, June 8, July 13, August 10, September 14, October 12, November 9, December 14 2014.
This is going to be a blast. See you tomorrow!
