Drawn to it by professional whinger and nitpicker Gerard Henderson, I watched the final part of the SBS series Liberal Rule, on the nature of John Howard's Prime Ministership.
After living through those years, dredging the past may seem too academic. Still, the documentary (of mainly talking heads) drew together some narrative arcs of the time, and made some connections that are clearer with hindsight.
One point was the effect on Australia of the 2001 destruction of the World Trade Center. Howard was in the US at the time, and the personal effect on him both solidified his commitment to US interests ("This would lead to war - the only question was, who with?"), and reinforced his approach to the divisive politics that was a hallmark of his tenure.
The Australian election took place a scant two months after that. This was the Tampa campaign, where a premature conjecture that refugees were throwing their own children overboard was turned into a political football that was deliberately carried by Howard's coterie (particularly the smarmy Peter Reith) far faster than the truth could chase after it. This was the flipside to Howard's consistent efforts to bend Australia to his own mould of uncritical nationalism. An election ad extolled Australia as the greatest country on earth, and "we must do more for border protection and defence to keep it that way".
Footage was shown of refugees from persecution in Afghanistan, who were patently pleased to disembark their boat for a safe shore, not knowing they were being corralled straight into a prison.
We know that Howard deliberately dissembled about his intentions to send troops to Iraq if asked by Bush. But we may remember the footage that showed Howard personally perpetuating the baseless line that Al-Qaeda was influential in Iraq - with even less backup "evidence" than Bush.
This confluence of forces global and local ended up benefiting only Howard - but it wasn't a zero sum game, as the refugees and Australian muslim victims of racist attacks would bear witness.
As the narrative of Howard years drew to a close, one reason for the end was his very politics of fear: "fear runs out if the threat doesn't eventuate" - so Howard's message ultimately fell out of step with the electorate.
That was not before his ideology had taken its toll on the Australian political landscape. Despite Australian muslims being forced to vociferously declare their Australianness, Howard's dogged campaigns at one point had resulted in 50% of high school students believing "muslims are terrorists".
Another stark piece of footage showed Howard responding bluntly to a journalist's question: "I always tell the truth". Yet pollsters found through most of his tenure that the electorate's response to the uncovering of his lies was "tell me something I don't know". Despite a majority believing him to lie, of themselves those lies didn't stop him winning elections until 2007.
Career diplomat Richard Woolcott, who served extensively under both Liberal and Labor, had the final word when he said that when the history books are written, "the legacy... will not be substantial". That could be said to be a truism for a conservative leader - but it needn't be, for anyone. Yet such is Howard's ultimate mark.
PS Answer to yesterday's puzzle: dreamboat (no, it's not boardmate!)

Belle Grove Plantation at Port Conway, King George, VA
Birthplace of James Madison and a Premiere B&B hosted by Michelle and Brett Darnell. A verifiable gem of a place backed by genuinely passionate people.
We lack water here in Southern California. There are lots of things all of us can live without – water isn't one of them. It's getting worse. We'll probably survive it; at least my generation will. I'm not so sure about our progeny. There are some consolations. This is one of them. It won't quench our thirst, not for hydration anyway. It might serve to inspire us to find ways to pass it on to our grandchildren.

Carpet Protectant | Round Rock TX
When it comes to protecting and cleaning carpet many people think they can just do it on their own and everything will turn out fine rather that hire a professional but this doesn't normally work as well. Choosing the DIY path can cause you more problems. By hiring a professional you get the benefits of someone with training and experience in protecting your carpet without the disasters that could happen.
Some would argue that it's too costly to hire someone to apply carpet protector. The truth is that doing it on your own and ruining your carpet is even more costly to repair or replace. You do not have a guarantee on your own work like you do with a professional. You might even be surprised to find out that hiring carpet cleaning expert is not so expensive after all and the pitfalls of do it yourself gone wrong are avoided.
When you hire us to protect and clean your carpet you save your own self time and labor. Not to mention that only a professional can really apply a good carpet protector to your floors. Having it applied will help to keep floors stain free and make it easier to clean with a vacuum. We all want a nice floor. Why not have it? The benefits of professional carpet protection vastly outweighs unruly time and labor and the risks of accidents happening. There is a professional who can do it for you and in an affordable and timely fashion.

At CrowRider, we know well that spending a few days in a training room will not, in itself, make a project manager out of anyone. For this reason, our approach is based on creating a development path rather than single stand-alone sessions, and we pay a lot of attention to post-training session support.
Furthermore, we strive to be as flexible as possible in the creation of the learning solutions. For this reason we have create what we call the flexi-modules, which can be combined in many different ways to create the most accurate fit for YOUR needs.
Our project management development path consists in five different levels, which are illustrated below. Starting with the basics, through to an advanced class. Both these levels can be completed and integrated with the 1 day flexi-modules.
We offer a broad spectrum of certification preparation classes. From PMP* to Scrum, our certification classes are built carefully around the best industry standards.
Since we believe that a certification is a starting point for a great project manager rather than a point of arrival, we also offer advanced classes in the flexi-module format for further development.
In addition to the "off-the-shelf" solutions, which you can read about in these pages, at CrowRider we can create any project management related tailored class to fit your needs. Just let us know!
Level 1: Project Management Basic:
a 2 day class covering project management basic knowledge.
Level 2: Project Management Advanced:
a 3 day class to take project managers to effectiveness.
Level 3: Elective, freely combinable 1 day modules:
These 1 day modules are combinable in any form. Their objective is to develop theparticipant's knowledge in specific areas which are useful for them.
The flexi-modules currently available are:
- Project Team Leadership
- Risk Management
- Change Management
- Earned Value Management
- Effective communication management
- Dealing with Troubled Projects
Level 4: Further development:
- Advanced Risk Management
- Implementing Earned Value Management
- Leadership in Critical Projects and Programs
- Building Trust.
Languages available:
The presentation of any of these classes is available in the following languages: English, German, Italian, Spanish, French, and Hungarian. The printed material distributed will however be in English.
Inquiries for classroom sessions may be made at email@example.com.

The Challenge
With more than 6700 students and staff printing at SUNY Geneseo, the paper use – and paper waste – was enormous. The IT staff wanted an easy to manage solution that provided cost control and monitoring across the different printing facilities at the campus, so they turned to PaperCut.
How PaperCut Helped
Students are granted a quota of $30 per semester for the fall and spring semesters and $15 for the summer term. Amounts are carried forward each semester, but reset to zero at the end of the summer term. Where students exceed their quota, they must pay for additional printing.
The staff and faculty are not charged for printing; however, silent monitoring convinced the CIO / Director that some form of regulation was needed. Faculty members are now granted a quota, and must request additional quota if they run out of their allocation before the end of semester.
Differential charging encourages users to select high volume, low cost print resources. The price per page was initially set at 10 cents per page for grayscale printing and 25 cents per page for color printing. Reviewing printing costs versus money spent for toner and maintenance of color printers supported increasing the price for color printing to 30 cents per page. Recently charges were added for large paper sizes and discounts were added for duplex printing. The IT staff worked with a student environmental group on campus to communicate the benefits of duplex printing and inform the users of the new discount through articles in the campus newspaper.
Two IT engineers and the Oracle DBA spent approximately three months fully testing and implementing PaperCut, integrating it with SUNY Geneseo's existing Oracle applications. (PaperCut is configured to use the Oracle external database.) The team followed the PaperCut Implementation Guide to assure that all critical functions were tested prior to full deployment.
When the system was first deployed students purchased credit though their campus student accounts. This was inconvenient because it took a day for the accounting staff to post the credits to the student PaperCut accounts. Students who needed to print immediately had to use the library printers where an attendant would take payment for print jobs. In 2008 a Payment Gateway was added, allowing students to add credit immediately using the PaperCut User Web Interface. This feature was further upgraded in 2011 with the integration of Nelnet Business Solutions Commerce ManagerTM payment gateway. SUNY Geneseo has streamlined business operations and reduced costs thanks to the secure, compliant gateway and students have greater flexibility with electronic payment options.
Several IT staff members have access to the PaperCut administrative functions. Most of the administrators have limited responsibilities for the equipment in their area and only need access to a few of the administrative functions. Selectable administrative rights limit access to the precise administrative scope and functions that are required.
Issuing refunds for failed print jobs has been a considerable drain on staff resources because students had to ask the help desk or library staff directly in order to get a refund. In September 2009 online refund requests were implemented. This made it possible for students to request refunds directly, using the PaperCut User Web Tools. The IT staff can now review and disposition pending refunds as part of the daily operational procedures. Walk up refund requests have dropped significantly since implementing the system.
Reports are used by the Computing & Information Technology department to perform quarterly resource assessments. New equipment is cost justified prior to purchase and existing resources are relocated to high use areas based on the information obtained from the Busiest Printers and Printer Usage – Summary reports. Reports are also used to monitor high volume staff and faculty printing in order to confirm requests for additional quota. In addition to standard PaperCut reports the IT staff is able to generate customized reports (created in VBScript) required to allocate the cost for a pool of multi-function printers that were purchased with State funds. The customized reports are emailed to the appropriate people.
What's Next for PaperCut at SUNY Geneseo?
The PaperCut implementation at SUNY Geneseo continues to evolve. Future plans include:
- Adding a Manager Mode Hold/Release Queue allowing library staff to hold jobs in a release queue until users have paid
- Enabling Web Print to allow users to upload documents for printing from their personal computers that are not authenticated to the network
- Introducing Shared Accounts for departmental cost allocation.

You know, 2016 is going to be one of those years many of us will remember for a very long time. We've watched the stock market reach record heights, felt our jaws drop when the Brits voted for Brexit, saw Michael Phelps cement his Olympics legacy and the Chicago Cubs break the longest championship drought in sports history, and witnessed Donald Trump's presidential upset.
Yes, 2016 has been something else, all right. But here's another milestone you can add to the year…
In 2016, the first Baby Boomer turned 70.5 years old!
Why's that such a big deal? Well, that means some Boomers must begin tapping their 401(k) and Traditional IRA plans. In other words, those who turned 70.5 years old in 2016 will need to start taking their required minimum distribution (RMDs).
For those of us who need the income from our 401(k)s and IRAs, the strategy we're going to cover here won't apply. However, I've met with many Boomers who have found themselves not needing the income from these retirement accounts.
When you don't need the additional income, RMDs can quickly become a hassle – especially if they bump you into a higher tax bracket.
And of course, taxes are what this all boils down to. Whether you need the income or not, the IRS imposes RMDs because they want the tax revenue. So, if we have enough income coming in from other sources, what can we do about these unneeded RMDs?
Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting a woman we'll call Evelyn. She had recently turned 70, but had the energy of a lady half her age. Between her Social Security benefits and a very nice pension, Evelyn had little need for her IRA.
"Isn't there something we can do about these required minimum distributions?" she asked. "I was hoping to give that money to my grandchildren."
"Absolutely!" I told her.
We went over several possible solutions. While not all of them were relevant to her desire to pass the funds along, I wanted Evelyn to have all the information at her disposal before making a decision.
Here are six of the more popular options for RMDs…
1. Charity – you can reduce your tax burden by donating some or all of your RMDs to charity, up to $100,000 per year.
2. Reinvest in a taxable account – no, your investment won't grow tax-deferred, but this is certainly an option for many people depending on their unique situations.
3. Roth IRA – you might qualify for a Roth IRA, which has no RMDs and no cutoff age for contributions.
4. QLAC – by converting up to 25% of your 401(k) or IRA into a qualified longevity annuity contract (QLAC), you can reduce your RMDs while securing a postponed income.
5. Guaranteed Universal Life – you could also use RMDs to purchase a guaranteed universal life insurance policy, which is an excellent way of creating a legacy for future generations.
Now, it's probably no surprise that Evelyn, wishing to pass down as much to her grandchildren as possible, chose to purchase a guaranteed universal life insurance policy.
Her IRA was valued just over $400,000. And we figured her RMDs would be roughly $15,000. After taxes, that would leave her with around $10,000 annually to buy a policy worth $432,000.
Not bad at all.
Needless to say, Evelyn was thrilled with her decision. Not only would her grandchildren inherit the death benefit, which they would receive tax-free, but they would also receive the remaining value of her IRA.
Whether or not using your RMDs to purchase a guaranteed life insurance policy is as great a move for you as it was Evelyn – well, that would depend on your unique situation. While I believe it's one of the more powerful tools we have for managing unneeded RMDs, it certainly isn't right for everyone.
Here are some points to consider…
To find out if this solution makes sense for you, I encourage you to follow Evelyn's example and consult with a qualified retirement planning professional.

"Dear Diary........"
Let's open it up and see what fascinating observations a 6th grade girl from Hometown, Pa made in the year 1970....
.....oh.... sewing class .... finishing up a skirt (hemming, fixing the zipper and some hand stitching) .....
.......and then there's this page ....
......this riveting entry tells how my friend Cindy and I finished sewing our skirts and that was good since it was our last sewing class anyhow. Then later that day my mother took me shopping and I "got a pattern for myself. It has bell bottoms and a tunic, and there are three easy dresses. I was going to make quilted lounging pajamas with a zipper up the front but I decided not to." (........oooooooo ..... quilted LOUNGING PAJAMAS ..... don't they sound hot and uncomfortable!) OMG ... was I a BORING 6th grader OR WHAT ?!? .... (actually, I guess this just reminds me how much I really love to sew ... even back then .... I was a SEWING GEEK !!!)
....anyhow, there is some fun stuff in my diary about dances and some boy on the bus I liked, and homework, and teachers, and pajama parties, and riding bikes, etc .... nothing earth shattering, just a record of day to day life from a 6th grader's point of view in 1970 .... of no value to anybody but me ..... or IS IT?!? Just think, 100 years from now my diary might be read and found to be an interesting peek at life "way back when" ..... and somebody will say "thank goodness girls wrote in diaries; and thank goodness somebody kept them for future generations " ..... just like the pioneer women who wrote letters and diaries about daily life traveling across the country in a covered wagon .... think about it ... in history class we learned about things from what men kept track of in their "journals" (I'm guessing they didn't call them diaries .... or at least they didn't start out their daily entry "Dear Diary... today me and the guys explored the north branch of the river where we encountered some friendly natives ....") Anyhow, if pioneer women like .......
this lady hadn't kept a diary, we'd never know how hard it was to take care of a family while living out of a covered wagon .... cook meals over a campfire, search for water everyday to camp near, take care of a sick kid, etc ..... (by the way, this picture is from the front of a book I have "Trail of Thread" Historical Letters 1854-1855 by Linda K Hubalek)
.....and, if it weren't for the diary of this
very happening girl, future generations might never know the fascinating details of the life of a 6th grade girl in Hometown, Pa in 1970!!!
.....and come to think of it .... all of you blogger gals out there are carrying on the diary tradition .... in cyberspace! You're all writing about your daily lives, family stuff, cooking stuff, business stuff, and creative stuff ... all the daily little and big stuff that will someday be a peek back into women's lives in the early 2000's ! Carry on , bloggers !!!

That's a wonderful find. I hate to say this but my daughter has been asking about the seventies because of her American Girl doll. I bet you that some little girl would find that incredibly interesting "no cell phones, oh how did you survive?"

I love this post, Mary Anne. I, too, kept a diary. In 6th grade I was making my own clothes, too. I am a little younger than you, but I remember the Marlo Thomas patterns. Some of those dresses are back in style now. I guess I was a sewing geek, too, but I am so glad my mother instilled in me the love of sewing.
My mother has passed away, but my sister in law found a diary of mine. She called me one day laughing because she found one of my lists that I used to make. I was really big into making lists, and I still am. The first thing on my list of things to do that day was to "get up". She thought that was so funny that I had to remind myself to get up from bed!

What an adorable diary and an excellent post, Mary Anne! Thank you for letting us in on bits and pieces of it. I will say you're makin' me feel OLD - I graduated from high school in 1970! Whenever you're feeling ancient, remember that fact, okay?
I was thinking just the other day that our blogs are definitely our diaries (or "journals" for old fogies like me!) in cyberspace. We are carrying on a tradition, aren't we?

Boy! Did that bring back memories! I was and still am a sewing Geek! In fact, my girlfriend in 7th grade and I made matching pink wrap-around-skirts! And we're still sewing all the time ...now quilts!

Hello, I happened to stumble across your blog. Your "dear diary" post is adorable. I used to write in my diary when I was younger. After I moved out, my parents gave me the diaries to keep (think they are in the attic now?) Isn't it funny how life seems day to day, but how the years change when we look back?
Also, I love your sewing skills! Beautiful work on your blog!

The Persian Gulf region has been the focus of the world for over 100 years now. It found its importance in the modern era when oil was discovered at Masjed Soleyman in southwestern Iran on May 26, 1908. Just three years later that oil was being piped down to a refinery at Abadan on the Iranian side of the Shatt al-Arab.

SAN JOSE, CA — Beginning June 13, North San José residents and employees will have easier access to Ford GoBike's bike share system. The 200 new dockless bikes will have a rear-wheel lock that allows them to be parked outside of a dock — anywhere a bicycle can responsibly be parked, including at a public bike rack or out of the way of pedestrians on the sidewalk. The new technology makes the service available to a larger community of potential bike share users.
Ford GoBike partnered with the City of San José and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) to launch its docked system in downtown San José in 2017. The new expansion makes bikes available to a greater number of users, while the dockless technology means more destinations can be reached using the system. The service area is bounded roughly by the Guadalupe River to the west, Coyote Creek to the east, the South Bay Freeway to the north and Trimble Road to the south. See a map of the service area here.
"Bike share programs can play an important role in our drive to retrofit a city built around the automobile into a city built for people," said Mayor Sam Liccardo, who also serves as an MTC Commissioner. "I'd like to congratulate Ford GoBike on expanding into North San José, and thank them for offering residents and employees in this key employment center another green transportation option for getting around our city."
The dockless bikes will be available at the same prices as classic Ford GoBikes: $2 for a single 30-minute ride, $10 Access Pass for unlimited 30-minute rides over a 24-hour period, $15 monthly membership, or $149 annual memberships for unlimited 45-minute rides. Bay Area residents ages 18 and older who qualify for Calfresh, SFMTA (Low Income) Lifeline Passes, or PG&E CARE utility discount are also eligible for a $5 annual Ford GoBike membership through the Bike Share for All program, developed in partnership with MTC.

This story starts over a year or so back (maybe even two), on a regular work day when I had popped out to the local IGA to pick up some groceries for lunch.
As I was taking my change at the counter, the lady serving me handed me a small trial-size packet and said 'we're giving out these for free – would you like one?' I glanced at the box in her hand and assumed it was chewing gum – you know the type that is looking increasingly like it is being packaged in condom packets! (Surely I'm not the only one who thinks that?)
Anyway I threw the box in my bag – I'm not a big gum chewer, but figured it would come in handy at some point.
Fast forward a couple of months, and upon returning to the office from a lunch out with a friend we agreed that gum would be handy for our garlic-laden breath. Trigger a 'light-bulb' moment and I remembered the box of 'gum' in my bag.
As I threw her the box she looked at and started laughing – blurting out something along the lines of 'these are tampons you idiot!' HUH?
She threw the box back at me to have a look and she was right – a trial box of two TOM organic tampons. Clearly not gum – but organic tampons – something that I had never considered before.
Now my friend is never one to hold back (she's Dutch if you need any explanation), so after a brief conversation about how come she knows about them (she had used them before) and how come I've never considered organic tampons before, she bluntly stated something along the lines of 'so you'll spend all this time worrying about what you put on your skin, but you'll put anything in your …', hmm … ah … umm … (trying to think of a publishable word for lady bits) let's go with 'Nina'.
To be honest she's right. Well NOT the 'I'll put anything in' part (let's be very clear on that!), but I had never considered that the majority of feminine hygiene products contain 'bleached' cotton – and not only that but cotton that might contain pesticides. Bleach and pesticides in your … ahem … 'Nina' – yikes!
So there's not a lot to 'review' about tampons – they go in, they do their job, they come back out again (you get the picture) – but suffice to say these are perfectly fit for duty. They do what they say they are going to do and they do it well. TOM is also accredited by PETA.
I've never been a fan of the 'do-it-yourself' style tampons – I have always preferred the handy little 'applicators' (is that the right word?) – but I'm done with bleach and pesticides – so it's 100% organic all the way. What can I say … TOM meet Nina!

Torreys Peak
Torreys Peak Trip Report (#8912)
- Signed By: Ryan Shirley
- Date submitted: December 26, 2000
Scott Williams and I climbed Torrey's Peak via the Kelso Ridge during a full moon. We started out around 5pm and hardly anyone was on the trail. The turnoff to the ridge is easy to see. There is an old cabin that marks the spot of the ridge. Our goal was to summit Torrey's just before nightfall and watch the full moon from the summit. Scott could have made it before nightfall if he was by himself but I slowed him up a bit so we were both stuck on the ridge after sunset. The moon provided plenty of light and a headlamp was not needed. It was difficult and a little exposed in some spots but it was dark enough that you could not really tell how big some of the drop offs were. If your afraid of bats dont do this climb at night. The bats were everywhere and they buzz by your head and make a high pitched sound as they go by. Not one bat ever touched Scott or myself. Overall the ridge is fun and 10x more exciting then the normal route up Torreys. I would recommend going with someone that is experienced since there are some dificult sections and areas not well marked. I would also not recommend doing the ridge at night.

Demonstrator Stamp 'n Chat card
Monday, February 9, 2015
Stampin' Up Blog Hop!
I was asked to participate in a Stampin' Up! Blog Hop.
Part of this blog hop is to answer the following questions:
1. What are you working on?
I have been working on a couple of projects. The first was designing and helping my grandson to make his valentines for his preschool class. The second was designing a card for my church's card ministry. My next projects will be to design a card for my monthly demonstrator stamp 'n chat and to make my own valentines to send.
2. How does your work differ from others in your genre?
Most of my cards are simple and crisp. I have been told that my designs are very mathematical.
3. Why do you create what you do?
I enjoy creating and sharing my ideas with others. It just feels good to be able to do something you love and to be able to share it with others.
4. How does your creativity process work?
I like to look at others' creations to give me inspiration. Often just looking at a card will inspire me to create something totally new. Of course I also CASE cards that I really admire.
So here is a card that I recently made for my daughter's birthday. I got inspiration from Debbie Henderson on her blog here--http://www.debbiesdesignsblog.blogspot.com/2015/01/new-gate-fold-easel-card-and-new-video.html
Everything is Stampin' Up except the daisy punch out. I couldn't find my Stampin' Up punch, so I used that one instead.
I hope to ask a few gals to participate in the blog hop for next Monday--I will keep you posted.
You may have come here via Marian Garcia's blog at http://studiombymarian.blogspot.com/2015/02/put-ring-on-it-organizing.html
Have a great day!

Valentines for my Grandson
When I saw this cute stamp set in the occasions mini catalog, I immediately thought of valentines for my grandson for his preschool.
I used part of the fish image and embossed it in gold, but the googlie eyes are what make it fun.
I also separated the greeting from the stamp so that I could stamp it inside.
Then, using photopolymer stamps, I was able to put his name together so that he can stamp it himself.
We are going to have so much fun putting these together! He needs quite a few, so it will be a great project for the next week or so.

Acknowledging the perfect joy of suffering in Christ, but having a little fun along the way.
Confirmation and American religious education
First of all, the way religious education is taught in most places is a tragedy. I know most of the folks doing it mean well, but I've sat through enough of these classes, both as parent and as administrator, to know: they are BORING.
Second, it is a false separation of a Sacrament of initiation to be randomly plopped down at grade 8 or grade 10 or whatever.
Finally, the hoops we make kids jump through to finally get to the Sacrament can be overwhelming: hours of community service, two years of classroom preparation, letters to the parish asking for the sacrament, etc., etc., etc. We don't ask couples getting married to do this much work! (Yeah, I know, maybe we should....) We don't do this for any other Sacrament. It's as if we are panicking: "This may be the last chance we get to catechize this kid! We're gonna stuff as much into his brain while we've got him!" The problem is not that we need to stuff so much into his brain, but that this MIGHT be our last chance. Why is that? Why do so many kids and parents view this as the penultimate sacramental moment....until a marriage or burial is needed? THAT'S the problem.
Okay, rant over. Seriously, though, in America, we need to look at how we deal with Confirmation.
2 comments:
my daughter, youngest of 7, was confirmed last year at age 16- half the young ladies came to the confirmation rehearsal half naked-literally. i was amazed; many were with their mothers- for the actual sacrament most of them wore night club type outfits - the bishop arrived with his entourage in tow, wearing none of his regalia and proceeded to walk et. al. in front of the small ante chamber to which the Blessed Sacrament had been relegated in this neo modern church, none of themever making any acknowledgement of the Sacred Divine presence; - Howard Hubbards homily dealt more with baseball than anything salient- arguing as to the proper age for reception of this 'great continuation of Pentecost'[ john Hardon] in view of all the other disasters going on in the american church likens to me to envision re arranging the deck chairs on the titanic - we need to get back to a reverential, vertically focused Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and emphasis on the Real Presence - then these other 'issues' will fall into place-ReplyDelete

I can only give them G's cereals (Cerelac) and basically G's surviving on milk and cereals only the whole day. They cook soft rice (and soup) too, but I don't think G's ready for rice. They agree to cook porridge for G, but I never asked what type of porridge, just have to trust them I guess.

"The best moment of my life" – Lajos Détári
76000 spectators in Berlin's Olympic stadium held their breath in the 81st minute as the Hungarian midfielder broke the deadlock between his Eintracht Frankfurt and VfL Bochum with a stunning free kick. It would prove to be all Frankfurt needed to lift the cup.
Lifting the cup with teammate and current Eintracht football academy director Karl-Heinz Körbel.
That famous free kick, which won the cup against Bochum!
From the perspective of 2016, where even the casual fan can watch multiple games in HD quality on multiple devices from Singapore to Los Angeles, it seems inconceivable that fans of Lajos Détári, "the last Hungarian star" were seeing him play in the Bundesliga for the first time on television on that late May afternoon in 1988, as per a special broadcast by the Hungarian TV channel. It would be another 10 years, with the launch of Sport TV in 1999 that Hungarian fans would be able to follow world soccer on a week to week basis.
Détá who?
Fans of the Bundesliga, both young and old – given that we are talking about a player who played 33 games in the league 28-29 years ago – can rightfully ask the question: Just who was Lajos Détári?
If you ask Hungarians (full disclosure – the author of this article grew up in Hungary and has heard more than his fair share of Détári stories), Détári is the last in line of the "Magical Magyars" – a lineage that began with early 20th century legends such as Imre Schlosser and the MTK teams of Jimmy Hogan through the 1938 World Cup runner-up team, culminating in the famous Aranycsapat of the 1950s. Always measured against the FC Barcelona of the 1950s Golden Team, the later teams and players, such as 1966 Ballon d'Or winner Flórian Albert, or the late 1970s stars of Újpest and FTC, András Törőcsik and Tibor Nyilasi, or our protagonist Détári, were always burdened with the baggage of never possibly ever being able to live up to those lofty standards.
He was nicknamed "Döme" after a fictional bear from the 1950s children's magazine (which you can find at http://dormogodomotor.hu/)The name "Dörmögő Dömötör" is an alliteration that can be translated as a Grumbling/Whining Demeter. Détári credits a girl from the neighbourhood for giving him the nickname on the account of his frequent grumbling. (link in Hungarian). Growing up in the working-class neighbourhood of Kispest, the family moved to a more central location in the 7th district with his parents (both transportation company employees).
Perfecting his game on the asphalt of inner city courts – save for a brief 9 month love affair with table tennis at the age of 14, when he stopped going to practices altogether! – Détári lived and breathed soccer and Honvéd, where he made his professional debut in 1980 at the age of 17. The technically gifted central midfielder Détári was groomed under the tutelage of "the Nation's Bomber" Lajos Tichy, the man who was incredibly left out of the Aranycsapat, despite going on to score 51 goals in 72 appearances for Hungary. Under another former Honvéd legend in coach Tichy, Détári was quickly proclaimed the last rightful heir to the throne of all-time Honvéd legend Puskás after scoring 72 goals in 134 games before his 24th birthday. Tichy would be replaced by his teammate and friend Imre Komora in 1982, which would have disastrous consequences for Détári in the long run.
For the time being it was the former Honvéd midfielder (64 goals in 277 matches) turned national team manager (in 1986), whose attitude and demeanor Détári likens to Sir Alex Ferguson, that was calling the shots. He would be calling the shots in more ways than one, as Döme met Komora's daughter Andrea at a dance event in November of 1982 and got married to her in June of 1985. The relationships between player and coach, son-in-law and father-in-law had become increasingly complicated, as there were rumors that Détári began to get increasingly involved in the Budapest nightlife.
Still, he made the team for the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico that infamously got humiliated 6-0 by the USSR (thankfully the author has no memories of this on the account of being 3 years old at the time) despite beating the mighty Brazil 3-0 earlier that year, with Détári opening the scoring in the 5th minute. In what would prove to be the last WC match (30 years and counting!), Döme scored the last goal for Hungary in a 2-0 triumph over Canada. So, that's where things stood with Döme in the spring of 1987.
Barcelona Frankfurt calling
Courted by Terry Venables' FC Barcelona – who just sold Diego Maradona to Napoli two season before and had picked up legends like Andoni Zubizarreta, Gary Lineker and Mark Hughes were looking for another attacking midfielder behind Bernd Schuster.
After initially offering 2 million USD over the phone, future FC Barcelona president Joan Gaspart (2000-2003), at that time the club's vice president, modified his offer to 1 million for a year with an option for an extension, after their representatives saw Détári put in a lackluster performance in the meaningless season finale against Debrecen. Venables would go on to coach Détári in the same year as part of a World XI, with the Englishman telling the Hungarian how much he regretted the decision. The deal with Barcelona fell through and it was Eintracht Frankfurt that beat out AS Monaco for the Hungarian playmaker's signature to the tune of 3.5 million German Marks. For a kid from the less than romantic concrete jungle of Kispest, who was making a measly 4000 Hungarian Forints -the present day equivalent of 90 dollars per month -this was life changing money.
Eintracht, founding members of the Bundesliga were a 2nd half of the table team. But despite losing stalwart defender Thomas Berthold (62 caps) and defensive midfielder Ralf Falkenmayer over the summer, the Eagles had a decent squad, picking up defender Dietmar Roth (264 matches played for the club) and featuring goalkeeper Uli Stein (6 appearances for West Germany), defenders Uwe Bindewald (who would go on to make over 400 appearances for the club) and Karl-Heinz Körbel (a whopping 720 games), sweeper Manfred Binz (14 caps), 20-year-old midfielder Andy Möller (85 appearances for die Nationalelf ), and Polish striker Włodzimierz Smolarek (60 caps). Adding the promising 24-year-old Hungarian playmaker was a great opportunity to solidify their squad, as they finished the campaign in 9th place.
Greece and Détári's downfall
After scoring 11 goals in 33 Bundesliga matches and 14 in all competitions, Détári was sold for 18 million Deutschmarks to Greece's Olympiakos, (for comparison, AC Milan spent almost 3 million less for Ruud Gullit in the same year) where he enjoyed two great seasons, netting 33 times in 55 games and has remained a fondly remembered figure. The move was befuddling, to say the least, as the Greek club's new owner George Koskotas, was a little too fond of embezzling and
"was jailed in Massachusetts and charged with embezzling more than $200 million from the Bank of Crete, pending extradition to Greece.[4] He was paroled and released from prison on March 16, 2001. He had served 12 years of a 25-year sentence for embezzlement, forgery and obstruction of justice felonies. Barred from leaving the country, Koskotas had also been ordered to report to an Athens police precinct twice a month.[5]" (Wikipedia)
Speculation (Juventus were rumored to be interested in signing the Hungarian) as to where Détári would go next, and what happened to the 18 million German marks, or 12 million USD according to this website, ( – remember, the average monthly net income was 7000 HUF or 145$ in 1988) were rampant, and it did not help matters that Komora took over as Olympiakos manager in 1989.
The ending, as it often is, was rather fast and unspectacular. Détári arrived in Italy "in a white Porsche with a cashmere scarf" and played 3 season for minnows Ancona and Bologna, but was now 30 years old. Stints in Switzerland, Austria, interspersed with 13 games for Ferencváros culminated in his 1999 retirement for BVSC. Since then, he has coached a whopping 19 teams from Vietnam to Greece, as well as 10 Hungarian teams, with his 2011-12 Ferencváros being his most notable one. In 2014, Frankfurt invited him to their game against Gladbach in the German Cup, and Détári was promptly given a standing ovation.
Despite admitting to and recovering from alcoholism, Détári ultimately remains a divisive figure in Hungary, both recognized for being the last of the colossal talents that Hungary has had, but more so for the equally colossal waste that his career ultimately had been. When in 2013, a Hungarian publishing house organized a booklaunch for their book about Détári, Döme, as only he can do, failed to appear….

A. Monograph
Anhand eines dynamischen stochastischen Gleichgewichtsmodells (DSGE) wird der Zusammenhang zwischen Ölpreisveränderungen und makroökonomischer Stabilität in ölimportierenden Volkswirtschaften analysiert. Vor dem Hintergrund endogener Ölpreise, einer globalen Güter- und Kapitalmarktintegration und einer veränderten Ölmarktstruktur ergeben sich alternative Erklärungsansätze mit neuen Implikationen für die Zentralbankpolitik. Demnach führen Ölpreisschocks eher zur Rezession, wenn Öl nicht substituierbar, internationaler Handel beschränkt oder der geldpolitische Zielkonflikt groß ist. Im Anschluss an die Analyse der Wirkungskanäle werden die optimale Stabilisierungspolitik und das strategische Verhalten der Zentralbank infolge von Ölpreisveränderungen untersucht.
B. Articles
The aim of the paper is to analyse the performance and characteristics of the manufacturing sector in Germany as compared to Italy and against the background of the Euro countries as a whole. We explore the factor en-dowment and compare specialisation patterns in production and foreign trade with respect to three aggregated industries: resource-intensive, labour-intensive and knowledge-intensive products. The analysis will suggest that the strong position of German industry is mainly based on its technological strength and supported by increasing price competitiveness vis-a-vis other countries in the Euro area.
This article examines the impact of the financial crisis on changes in the sectoral and geographic specialization of Germany's trade in research-intensive industries. In the first part of this article we calculate and analyze indicators of sectoral specialization for Germany, the US, Japan and the BRIC countries for the period from 2000 to 2010. While German exports in R&D-intensive industries have declined during the crisis, Germany has not fallen behind in terms of export shares on the world market, as opposed to the US and Japan. The impact of the economic turmoil of the past years did not only affect the sectoral level but also the geographic orientation of Germany's exports and its competitors. In the second part, we therefore additionally calculate an indicator that refers to the geographic concentration of exports. It is shown that German exports in R&D-intensive industries are shifting towards Emerging Markets. Should this trend continue, the growth of the German R&D-intensive exports will depend increasingly on these economies. Against the background of the continued economic growth in the BRIC countries and as drivers of the world economy, their increasing demand may have a sustainable positive effect on the R&D-intensive industry in Germany.
Intergenerational justice is a target for policy makers with regard to a sustainable economic growth path in resource abundant countries. This study analyzes the sustainable economic growth path in the Republic of Azerbaijan via the concept of genuine savings. We find that intertemporal substitution of oil welath is mainly well managed and diversified by investments in alternative industries. But particularly tertiary education may be a lack of future development.
C. Working paper and conference contribution
A European unemployment insurance scheme has gained increased attention as a new and ambitious common fiscal instrument which could be used for temporary cross-country transfers. Part of the national stabilizers composing unemployment insurance schemes would be transferred to the central level. Unemployed are then insured by both layers. When a country is hit by an asymmetric shock, it would receive positive net transfers from the central fund in the form of reduced taxes and increased benefits, providing risk-sharing for the whole union. We build a two-country DSGE model with supply, demand and labor market shocks in order to capture the recent national insurance system and the unemployment insurance union (UIU) design. The model is calibrated to the euro area core and periphery data and matches the empirically observed cyclicality of the net replacement rate, the wage and unemployment dynamics. This baseline scenario is then compared to a optimal unemployment insurance union with passive and active benefit policies. For all underlying shocks, we find that the UIU reduces the fluctuation of consumption and unemployment while it increases the fluctuation of the trade balance. In case of a positive domestic government spending shock the UIU reduces the negative crowding out effect on private consumption and investment. The model will be used to analyze the effects of national and supranational benefit policies on labour market patterns and welfare.
Recent studies show that considering external channels, i.e. exports, imports, terms of trade, is necessary to explain the observed changing pattern between oil prices and macroeconomic activity. We derive the optimal monetary policy for oil-importing countries under a given oil supply in a three-country DSGE model and explicitly analyze these channels. We found that the terms of trade channel and monetary policy with a terms of trade target can dampen the effect of oil price fluctuations in oil-importing economies depending on structural parameters. We then extend the basic model by assuming different degrees of international central bank cooperation. With respect to the optimal monetary policy reaction on demand and supply-driven oil price changes we derive three noteworthy results. First, central banks of oil importers minimize the welfare loss of real oil price changes by influencing the terms of trade and stabilizing the producer price inflation rate. Second, central banks are able to fully stabilize global and local demand-driven oil price changes depending on the relative size of the countries and the strategic behavior between central banks. Third, welfare losses resulting from global oil supply disruptions can be minimized by a cooperative central bank that stabilizes a weighted consumer price inflation rate and a weighted output gap. A cooperative monetary policy cannot minimize the welfare losses from local oil supply changes.
In the recent European debt crisis, internal migration flows in the euro area reacted strongly to diverging labor market conditions. This experience points towards the prominent role of short-term business cycle migration in the euro area and the consequent need to understand the motives behind it. Investigating the business cycle in 55 bilateral migration corridors in the euro area over the period 1980-2010, we find evidence for business cycle related fluctuations in net migration flows and the crucial role of unemployment in shaping migration patterns. While on average wage and unemployment differentials are negatively correlated with net migration, across migration corridors we document a considerable heterogeneity in both dimensions that is more pronounced for wages. In line with these findings, we built a two-country dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model of internal business cycle migration in the euro area and allow for unemployment that occurs as a consequence of labor market frictions and rigidities in both countries. Our model is able to replicate the empirical observations and explains the heterogeneity of migration corridors by differences in the type of shock that hits an economy and the relative price/wage rigidity. We contribute to the literature on the causes and consequences of temporary migration and bridge it to DSGE models with unemployment.
D. Policy paper
Ten years after the 2008 financial crisis, in the euro area investment is still below the pre-crisis level. Public and private investment growth is so weak that capital per worker (capital intensity) has virtually remained constant. An increase in public investment activity could ultimately stimulate private investment. Estimates for the euro area show that an increase in public investment by one billion euro goes hand in hand with a medium-term increase in private investment of around 1.1 billion euro. In Germany, the effect is somewhat greater. Investment in construction and infrastructure are the most significant drivers. The public sector's widespread reluctance to invest could partially explain the weakness in private investment activity. The public sector should now begin investing more. And the rigid balanced budget amendment (Schuldenbremse) should be replaced by more flexible expenditure rules.
No abstract
Immigration to Germany has increased significantly since 2011, primarily due to the immigration of citizens from other euro area countries and those which joined the EU in 2004 and 2007. This increase is mainly attributable to a lack of immigration barriers and the good economic situation on the German labor market compared to other European countries. Model simulations show that GDP growth in Germany between 2011 and 2016 would have been 0.2 percentage points lower on average per year without EU immigration. However, structural barriers to immigration remain. Additionally, due to economic recovery and demographic changes in other EU countries, migration from the EU may not continue as strongly as before. It is therefore important to strengthen immigration incentives, such as by giving immigrants more opportunities to find employment matching their skills. In addition to EU immigration, the German economy may also benefit from facilitating access to the labor market for skilled workers from third countries.
TReorganizing European fiscal policy is a main topic in current reform considerations. In particular, the creation of a European stabilization mechanism is being discussed. This study examines the macroeconomic effects of a stabilization fund, the economic consequences of which are analyzed in an equilibrium model. The model shows that a stabilization fund reduces economic fluctuations and is thus a mechanism for making the entire currency area more crisis-proof in the future. However, it should be noted that a stabilization fund may be more politically feasible than shifting responsibility from the national level to a new European Ministry of Finance. Moreover, moral hazard in regards to the behavior of individual countries must be taken into account when designing the stabilization fund. For example, parallel to the introduction of a European stabilization fund, compliance with fiscal rules should be effectively enforced.

Never mind Shark Week on Discovery Channel. We're in the midst of Shark Week on GOLF.com, a celebration of the Aussie sporting icon-turned-entrepreneur.
As his famous moniker suggests, Greg Norman is forever moving forward, propelled by his global business interests, a new gig in the tower for Fox Sports — and a boundless appetite for luxury items. Yachts, jets, seaside mansions, ranches, bronze busts. Norman can't be stopped. But can he be emulated? Won't be easy, or cheap. But it's worth a shot. Here are 11 ways to put some Shark in your life.
In case you couldn't tell from his 75-square-mile ranch in Colorado, or his $65 million Hobe Sound, Fla., spread, Norman is really, REALLY into real estate. Southern Cross Developments, one of an untold number of Norman's business ventures, has high-end residential projects in Dubai, Vietnam and beyond. The exact size and value of the Shark's portfolio is hard to pinpoint, in part because it's always shifting. Just last summer, he listed a property in Boca Raton, Fla., for $25 million, even as he went about building on it. His plans called for a mansion with seven bedrooms and 19 bathrooms, because, well, golfers always need more space to take relief.
Since turning pro in 1976, Norman has logged more than eight million air miles — not all of them in economy class. His Gulfstream G550 is the seventh jet he's owned in the last 15 years. If you want one of your own, you're looking at an outlay of about $33 million. While you're at it, you should also pick up a Bell 407 helicopter, the kind that Norman has. You could get a bird just like it for about $2.6 million. But that's not counting what you'd have to pay the pilot. The Shark, of course, flies his chopper himself.
Crikey, mate, that's a crackin' cabernet. Through partnerships with wineries in Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and California, the Shark produces a range of reds and whites under the private label, Greg Norman Estates. Isn't it time you did the same? E.C. Kraus, a national supplier of home winemaking supplies, sells starter kits for $100-$200, replete with all the tools you need to make your first five-gallon batch. You'll still need to buy the fruit, which ranges wildly on price depending on the vineyard. If you don't mind drinking swill, you could go as low as about $1 per bottle. Just be warned: The wine might have an unpleasant, oaky finish, like a drive sliced deep into the trees.
Over the years, Norman has owned a veritable armada of sport-fishing vessels and pleasure cruisers. His largest seafaring acquisition came in 1995, when he took possession of a 228-foot custom-built yacht called Aussie Rules. Its amenities included a private theater, a dining room suited to the Sun King and onboard diving equipment for 30 people, along with a decompression chamber. The yacht no longer belongs to Norman; he sold it in 2004 for a reported $77 million. But don't think he couldn't buy another if he wanted. Bottom line: If you want to travel the seas like this Shark, you're going to need a bigger boat.
Though he misses out on an annual invite to Augusta, Norman hardly lacks for golf course access. According to Norman's spokesperson, he is either a member or an honorary member at some 40 private clubs around the world, but he considers the Medalist, in Hobe Sound, Fla., and Royal Melbourne his home tracks here and abroad. You'll need to be well connected to join either of those clubs, but if your goal is simply being able to tell people you play at the Medalist, here's a far more obtainable alternative: lay down $825 and join the Medalist Golf Club in Marshall, Mich (above).
An avid hunter and gun collector, the Shark is loaded for more than just deer. His private arsenal could outfit a small militia. Its centerpiece is a Barrett .50 MBG Rifle, a semi-automatic weapon that the U.S. Marines used in operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. The basic model goes for about $12,000, but we know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who could probably get you one for less.
Bleach-blond hair-coloring job at a high-end salon: $150. Blue-tinted contact lenses: $50. Straw hat with Shark emblem: $34.99. Being mistaken at a distance for Greg Norman: priceless.
Part of the Shark's swagger owes to that Down Under accent, which lends a kind of rugged heft to everything he says. You know, that distinctive Aussie lilt that lends a hint of up-talk to declarative statements, and adds a nasal twang to certain vowel sounds, turning a word like "way" into something more like "why." Accents are like golf swings: the younger you learn them, the more natural they seem. But it's never too late. In fact, it's easier than ever, what with language-focused websites like speakmoreclearly.com, which offers lessons on how to speak Australian, starting at $69.99. Talk, it turns out, is relatively cheap.
Aside from North Korean despots, not many people bother having bronze statues cast in their own likeness. But Norman's not an Aussie Kim Jong Il. It was the Shark's wife, Kirsten, who commissioned the bust that sent social media a-twitter last month as a gift to her hubby on his 60th birthday. How much did she spend? Don't ask David Phelps, the Oklahoma-based artist who shaped the statue. He's not saying. Nor is he all that eager to make a bust of you. "Doing a bid is a pretty involved process," Phelps told GOLF.com, "and I'd rather not even go down that road." Good thing he's not the only guy who works with bronze. Stan Watts of Atlas Bronze Casting in Kearns, Utah, handles all kinds of custom pieces. Depending on the size and detail of the work, Watt says, you're looking at a starting price of $5,000. "But it can get higher, up around 30 to 35 thousand."
Norman's net worth has been estimated at $400 million, which sounds slightly low in this age of excess, given that his umbrella company, Great White Shark Enterprises, is a multinational outfit with a hand in everything from golf apparel and architecture to real estate, wine and Wagyu beef. But, really, does the figure even matter? Once you've socked away such extravagant wealth, other motivating factors come into play that money alone can't begin to measure. Ego. Self-worth. Dread of boredom. Here's our best guess: You could offer him a billion, two billion, more. If it meant his stepping aside, the Shark wouldn't bite.
Later this summer, Norman will participate in the Necker Open Pro Am, a lavish event held at Richard Branson's private island. Spots in the junket are selling for a cool $80,000, but if it gives you a chance to glean wisdom from the Shark himself, call it money well spent.

Vegetable Scrap Stock – Recipe Redux April 2017
Happy Earth Day everyone! This month's recipe redux is all about reducing food waste. My favorite way to use vegetable scraps is by making stock. Keep whatever vegetable scraps accumulate – carrot tops, vegetable peels, mushroom stems, beet/turnip greens, etc – and voila! You'll have homemade vegetable stock in no time. My recipe below is for the pressure cooker, so in a matter of minutes I'll have stock to use or freeze.
Vegetable Scrap StockPrint Pin Rate

Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 10 cups
- 1 onion peeled and quartered
- 3-4 garlic cloves
- 3 carrots cut into chunks
- 3 stalks celery cut into pieces
- Other vegetable scraps i.e. carrot tops, mushroom stems, beet greens, turnip greens
- 2 bay leaves
- A few peppercorns
- 2 sprigs thyme or other herbs of your choosing
- 10 to 12 cups water depending upon the size of your cooker.
- Put all the ingredients in the pressure cooker. Lock the lid in place. Bring to high pressure and set timer for 5 minutes. When 5 minutes is up, let the pressure come down naturally.
- Remove the lid and allow the stock to cool slightly.

The Lynching in West Bengal that didn't Make too Many Headlines in 2017
Mohammed Nasiruddin, Nasirul Haque and Mohammed Samiruddin were killed by a Hindutva mob in June 2016, in Durgapur
January 31, 2018Here is a ground report from Durgapur and Islampur. In June 2017, three Muslims were killed by a frenetic Hindu mob near the Chopra police station in Durgapur. They killed three Muslim men from Islampur: Mohammed Nasiruddin, Nasirul Haque and Mohammed Samiruddin. Along with Harsh Mander, John Dayal, and others from Karwaan-e-Mohabbat, we met Ashin Mohammed, Mohammed Nasiruddin's father. None of the three families have received any monetary compensation. The three men arrested for the lynching were released on bail after spending fifteen days in custody.

Bok choy is to be properly washed and drained. If the stem is too large it is to be cut off and cooked separate. Cooking Oil is heated in a frying pan within which chopped garlic is placed to fry. The stem is then put in to fry first. The bok choy is added to the stems and is flipped and stirred many times on high heat, with a spatula until softening and cooking begins. Salt is added to this when it is 3/4 cooked to enhance the taste and cooking ends shortly after. Do not add soya sauce as this makes bok choy less crunchy. Bok choy can be served with marinated chicken.

What a day! I am tired! I've gotten in 35,000 steps and over 15 miles! I walked from the hotel to the Sky Wheel. I didn't ride on it today, though. I did go to the Gay Dolphin gift cove! I thought they would have some iron on patches, but they didn't! :( I guess I'll have to order some online. I was sure I'd be able to find a Myrtle Beach one. Oh well. I'll keep looking.
I also went to a store called, I Love Sugar. :D I got a box of mints with "Ann" on them and a package of Charm's candy. I haven't seen Charm's in many, many years. I just had to get them. I visited two Starbucks that I passed along the way. I was looking for gift cards that I don't have to add to my collection. At one of the Starbucks, I found a really cool 2016 Chinese New Year - Year of the Monkey. I'm a Monkey, so that was that much cooler! :)
I had walked over 8 miles before I found a working drink machine. That was one delicious Coca Cola! I finished my walk and came back to the room. My friend and I went out later for dinner. We ate at a local place that had good reviews. It's called Burky's and it was great! It's a burger/hot dog/fry place. We went to a Target and to Tanger Outlet. We also went to a local ice cream spot called Painters. They are popular! We had to wait in a long line, but they didn't take too long.
We came back here and I realized that I had 30,000 steps. I thought that I would try for 35,000 for the day. I made it! :) I went for a walk on the beach. That got me to the 35,000 mark. Actually, I'm 35,168 at the moment! I'm charging the Fitbit now as it's battery is low.
I need to do another picture post, but I might wait until I get home and post them all to Flickr. I might post some tomorrow if I can get to post before so late! I am really tired and looking forward to going to bed tonight! :)
