Tax return
Anyway, we did get our money this week, and Bob was able to get a new tripod. He's been working with a tripod made for a video camera, which doesn't allow for vertical shots. B&H has better prices than our local store, but they also have so many choices that it was really hard to narrow it down, and of course there's the lack of touching and trying it out. So we went to the store in Fayetteville and Bob was able to narrow the choices down pretty quickly. He ended up with a Manfrotto aluminum tripod and a Manfrotto ball head. They had a carbon fiber model which was about half the weight and twice the price, but Bob didn't think the weight would be a problem in studio, and the cheaper one had all the same features.
We will soon be going to get an upright deep freezer, and soon after that we will buy a half of a cow which will probably fill the freezer. That will use the rest of the IRS deposit, and possibly more. But we will have healthful meat for quite some time, so that's a plus.

I hope he likes the tripod -- I love my Mannfroto gear. :-)
As for buying local vs. online, I'll always buy local if (1) the price difference isn't significant, and (2) they have what I want.
(While I love buying online, I have a nagging fear that it'll be our only choice someday, and that seems sad.)
On the other hand, when it comes to camera gear, I've almost never found what I want at a decent price in a local store. OKC's only photo store was the worst -- 50% higher price on the photo backpack I bought a few years ago.

Last week was my birthday and our little family took a staycation down to Waco for the night. We stayed at the Avenues of Waco and ya'll it was the cutest little house ever.

This three bedroom house with gorgeous décor, all amenities for your entire stay, and a large backyard space for relaxing will accommodate a weekend getaway, a girls getaway, or in our case a family getaway.

Facing Tough Encounters
Since the beginning of our homeschooling journey I have been at peace with decisions that I made to provide an environment for my children that embraced their over all well-being. An environment of interest, creativity, strengths and weaknesses, love, joy, kindness, and yes even disagreements with brother but healthy disagreements. Healthy disagreements where we can learn at a young age to control ourselves, our emotions, and our reactions. I know as an adult there are some that we will face that are challenging and everything seems to be a constant battle but as an … [Read more...]
It has been raining for like the millionth day but the rain has forced us to stay home more than usual and allow us to really focus on some things around the house. So even though I miss the sunshine I am thankful for the rain too. We started a whole new adventure since the last time I really blogged on this space. When I first started this blog years ago it was such a time of healing for me and flourished into a space of writing about my faith, love, loss, and motherhood. I haven't been able to focus so much on this little space for quite some time but there are … [Read more...]
Cold Winter Days and Warm Soup
Goodness this holiday season flew by but I held tight to every moment with my family. We have had some cold winter days this last week in Texas and that could only mean warm snuggles in cozy sherpa blankets and homemade chicken noodle soup. One of my favorite memories with my grandmother was cooking in the kitchen and all of her meals were amazing. I don't have her exact recipe but I love the one that I have made for years for my family after much alterations to ingredients finding the perfect melody of flavors we craved. I hope you love it too! I prefer to cook my … [Read more...]
Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month
October is Pregnancy, Stillbirth, & Infant Loss Awareness month. This is our sweet angel baby, Payton. She died during childbirth and it completely shattered our hearts. Leaving the hospital to plan a funeral and coming to a home with empty arms to a nursery filled with love was devastating. 11 years later I still remember every moment, emotion, scent of hair, thoughts, and the love that surrounded us. Family, friends, nurses, even strangers wrapped us in prayer and love during our loss and grief. I poured my self into raising awareness and helping other moms the … [Read more...]

Reading Wedding Video
I was fortunate enough to be asked to create a Reading wedding video by a really fun loving couple. They had decided to get married in a local church and have the reception in a huge marquee tent in a field near the brides parents house in Reading.
The wedding preparations were well underway when I arrived to start filming. The bride was getting her hair and makeup done, so I decided to do some exterior shooting with the glide track. This equipment gets really smooth movements shots that really add production value to the wedding video.
After the bridal preparation, we drove the short journey to the church, where we set up the tripods and filming equipment. We were ahead of schedule, so we decided to get some footage of the groom and his ushers at the church before the ceremony started. The priest was very kind and allowed us to get a great angle from the front of the church. This gave the film a very intimate feeling about it.
The wedding car took the couple back to the brides parents house. They wanted some really contemporary wedding photos and video in her parents garden. Speaking as a professional wedding videographer, the backgrounds were really beautiful, especially a large wooden building that had wonderful textures and patterns to it. The footage looked amazing and I'm sure the couple will love the wedding DVD or blu-ray disk when they see it in full HD.
The couple then walked to the marquee with the wedding car following them. We managed to get some really good footage of the couple following the car down the narrow country lane. The wedding marquee was amazing, and most of the guests were outside in the glorious sunshine. The brass band kept the guests entertained while we got some footage of the newly married couple.
The truly was a great wedding day and I feel very lucky to have been able to capture it on film.
If you like the Reading wedding video above why not hire us to take record your wedding DVD for you. We pride ourselves on providing a professional and creative service. We aim to capture your precious wedding day memories so you can cherish them forever. Please contact us to chat further.

The Beginner's Guide to Finding Great Solar Panels
Although we're living in a time where there are a variety of major advances that are happening in how we use technology, you'll tend to find that some of the biggest improvements and shifts have come in the world of energy production. While people in the past were restricted to only burning things like coal or oil for power, we can now develop just as much electricity through the use of less damaging resources.
This is especially true when it comes to solar power. You're going to find that there are a lot of reasons why it can be a lot more efficient to be able to get energy right from the incoming solar rays than to have to deal with other types of fuel. You'll find that there have been all kinds of incredible improvements in efficiency and energy production when you look at the use of solar panels. In today's world, you can even find a range of solar panels that you can use in your personal life. In the guide below, we'll look at a few of the key things you should be looking for when it comes to finding the right kind of flexible solar panels.
There are generally two classes of consumer solar panels that you'll be able to choose from. The first types of panels are going to be the typical ones that you'll find installed on roofs all over the world. These solar panels will be very high powered and will be able to supply all the energy needs for an entire home with just a few hours of daily sunlight. However, you'll also find many flexible solar panels that can work in a range of more mobile applications. Those who like to spend a lot of time outside will often find it fun to look for portable solar panels for camping.
It can also be a good idea to research how much other people have enjoyed the solar panels that they've purchased in the past. You can find many reviews online that will be able to help you feel a lot more confident in the kind of purchase that you're making.
When you start thinking about more effective ways to generate energy in the modern world, there are a lot of reasons why solar panels are the best option. As long as your doing the right kind of research ahead of time when selecting your solar panels, you'll end up with the most effective tools available for producing all the energy you need.

Abseiling is the art of 'descending a rope' and is a fun and very rewarding activity offered in our centre. It can also take place at Monkey Face in the Watagans Mountains.
We offer a 10 and 5 metre abseiling tower at the center. We can also participate in using a 15 or 50 metre natural abseil in the Watagan Mountains.
Generally Year 6 up.
Challenge Ropes
Our Challenge Ropes Course is an obstacle course suspended more than 5m off the ground. They are made out of wood, cables, ropes, steel, natural trees and artificial poles.
Multiple elements on each course are graded differently and can even be completed in different ways. This makes them extremely popular because they are so versatile at challenging students.
All students are required to wear harnesses, helmets and a self belay device.
Junior Year 3 up, Senior Year 5 up.
Dual Flying Fox
You can find a Flying Fox at Adventureland! There is something exhilarating about jumping out into thin air, suspended on only a thin cable and whizzing to your destination over our camp lake. The difference with our Flying Fox is that two people may go at the same time.
The Flying Fox is a great activity that helps develop confidence at heights and is still quite challenging for many students. The ability for student pairs to go together helps develop peer support, or healthy competition, depending on the setting and allows two people to directly share the experience.
Our Flying Fox is 150m long over our camp lake and will reach speeds of about 60km/h.
Junior Year 3 up, Senior Year 6 up.
Giant Swing
Our Giant Swing has been a great drawcard over the years and students have always commented on this activity as one of their favourites while they are at camp.
After being harnessed in by one of our instructors the rest of the group will pull you to the top of the swing (or as high as you want to go) and before you grab your rip cord. You have to see it to really understand.
The Giant Swing is a great activity to build confidence at heights and is the perfect example of our Challenge by Choice philosophy.
All students are required to wear harnesses and helmets. Junior Year 3 up, Senior Year 6 up.
Rock Climbing
Rock Climbing is a great activity. It tests physical co-ordination, agility and endurance. It also tests students problem solving skills as they attempt to pick the easiest path from the bottom to the top. Trust and teamwork are also important as climbers are belayed by teams of their peers. With an activity as valuable as this it is easy to realise why it is so popular.
We offer Rock Climbing in a variety of formats.
We provide a 15m artificial tower for 6 climbers. The overhang at the top of the tower can be extended out to 30 degrees to suit the ability of the students.
All students are required to wear a harness and a helmet.
Juniors can climb on rock climbing grips while seniors use natural rockfaces.
Junior Year 3 up, Senior Year 5 up.
Team Work Challenge
An aerial based teamwork course with a variety of elements. Worth together with your most trusted friends to complete a series of challenges whilst being harnessed to a team of supervised belayers. Challenges include the UFO walk, Giant Multi-Vine, High-Y and Vertical Jacobs ladder all completed under the careful supervision of your team of instructors. The challenges can reach a massive 12m in the air with a great view of the camp and surrounding area.

It's difficult to properly surmise what we learned from the British GT Championship's overseas trip to Spa-Francorchamps, thanks to a live stream that missed the first lap fracas and showed about as much of the commentators' bemused faces as the frenetic battle for the lead between TF Sport and Team Parker Racing. But when the checkered flag dropped, it was the Aston Martin driven by Jon Barnes and Mark Farmer which took their first win of the season, incidentally 2008 champion Barnes' first victory since his title year. Here's what we learned.
1. Barnes rolls back the years
It had been a long time between drinks. Fabio Capello was the England manager, Gordon Brown the Prime Minister and Dizzee Rascal's 'Dance Wiv Me' top of the UK charts when Barnes took his last British GT win with the Brookspeed Viper at Brands Hatch in 2008. Eight years later – and with a few budget-induced seasons on the sidelines – Barnes reminded everybody of his talent with an accomplished display to ward off the attentions of Seb Morris and deliver a win that rated highly in the feel-good stakes.
Jubilant scenes down in the @SpaCircuit pit lane. @JonBarnesRacing celebrates his first win in 8 years #BritishGT pic.twitter.com/jUhBlsoZdR
— TF Sport (@OfficialTFSport) July 9, 2016
After qualifying third, Farmer took advantage of contact at the first corner between Liam Griffin's fast-starting Lamborghini and the pole-sitting Bentley of Rick Parfitt – which in turn collected Alasdair McCaig's McLaren – to lead at the end of the first lap. Although Farmer would be overhauled by Hunter Abbott's Grasser Lamborghini and Abdulaziz al-Faisal shortly before the pit window, a slow stop for Black Falcon meant only the Lamborghini now driven by Rolf Iniechen stood in Barnes' way. He made short work of the Swiss and set about managing the gap back to Morris, who was unable to launch a concerted challenge in the closing laps due to the relentless GT4 Europe traffic.
Their first win as a partnership was also Farmer's first-ever win at this level, having only started car racing in Caterhams two years ago. Having become the fifth different winners of the season so far, can they now kick on and gatecrash the championship contenders the final three races at Snetterton and Donington Park?
2. Bentley just won't go away
Though Morris and Parfitt will be disappointed not to have won after taking their fourth pole position from six races, they return home knowing that this could be a pivotal day in the championship battle.
Following a DNF at Silverstone, the Team Parker Racing duo needed to bounce back at Spa and having also topped the Spa 24 Hour test last week, there was little doubt that Morris intended to do just that. When rain caught out Iniechen and brought the Pro qualifying session to an early conclusion, the Welshman found himself almost a full second faster than everybody else.
Happy boy! #P2 @BentleyRacing @teamparkeracing @MSATeamUK @BRDCRisingStars #ClosingOnTheLead #Comingforyou pic.twitter.com/eVVotkctvM
— Seb Morris (@SebMorris31) July 9, 2016
On this occasion however, pole didn't count for all that much in the end. Parfitt was fortunate to keep going after his altercation with Griffin – for which the Barwell Motorsport driver received a penalty – and took it steadily in traffic to pit from fourth place.
After the stops, Morris worked his way past Iniechen and chased gamely after Barnes, but would have to settle for second, just 0.6 seconds adrift at the flag. But with closest rivals Jon Minshaw and Phil Keen only sixth, the Bentley is right back in the thick of the title battle once again.
3. Abbott could be an in-demand Bronze
A few eyebrows were raised when BTCC racer Hunter Abbott announced that he would be making his return to GT racing at Spa alongside Rolf Iniechen, one of several drivers to use the event to get extra tracktime ahead of the Spa 24 Hours.
Having never previously driven a GT3 car in anger, Abbott was keen to downplay expectations ahead of the event, but lapped competitively against the gentlemen drivers in his qualifying session and took full advantage of the first lap mayhem to climb from ninth into second.
Pretty happy with qualifying P2 in my first go in a GT3 car – Jesus they're quick! We're actually starting P9 for… https://t.co/Pj6IbMZ7Pu
— Hunter Abbott (@HunterRacing) July 8, 2016
As the gaps ebbed and flowed through the traffic, Abbott eventually caught and passed Farmer, before pitting from the lead. Although the Silver-rated Iniechen was unable to hold on against the fully-fledged Pro drivers and faded to fifth behind the two Mercedes of Dani Juncadella (sharing with Oliver Morley) and Miguel Toril in the closing laps, Abbott could be delighted with his day's work.
Assuming he retains his driver grading and his touring car schedule allows, Abbott could find himself in demand with plenty of Blancpain Pro-Am teams looking for a speedy Bronze…
4. Championship fight is getting tasty
Since the guesting Lamborghini and two Mercedes were both registered for points, the next best of the title contenders would only earn points for sixth place.
A 20-second pitlane penalty for their victory in the last round at Silverstone meant Phil Keen and Jon Minshaw would have a battle on their hands to salvage a result, a task made even more difficult by qualifying only 16th. But a clean race meant that despite the penalty, they still outscored the championship leaders Jonny Adam and Derek Johnston, who were somewhat fortunate even to make the start.
Amazing job by @OfficialTFSport to turn this car around for @BritishGT qualifying. Thank you #BritishGT #teamAMR pic.twitter.com/UkfYd1U04q
— Jonny Adam (@JonnyAdam) July 8, 2016
Oil left by a GT4 Europe Maserati at Les Combes in FP1 left Johnston with no chance and also caught out the second Team Parker Racing Bentley of Callum Macleod, which took no further part in the meeting. A mammoth repair job by TF Sport meant the Aston made it out in time for qualifying, although bent steering after contact with a GT4 car meant they could only take seventh from the race.
After their disastrous opening to the race, a trademark charge from Alexander Sims meant Griffin's championship challenge lives to fight another day. Now fully up to speed with the Huracan, Sims showed what might have been by setting the fastest lap of the race and passing Joe Osborne for eighth on the final tour.
With a 24.5 point deficit to make up, Griffin knows he can ill afford any more slip-ups, so a return to Snetterton – where he and Rory Butcher won last year – couldn't have come around at a better time.
5. McLaren GT4 fast but fragile
With 29 GT4 European cars entered in addition to the usual 15 British GT4 cars, it was statistically highly likely that the British runners would be crowded out by the European runners, but Ecurie Ecosse McLaren duo Ciarian Haggerty and Sandy Mitchell were having none of it. After a quiet Brands Hatch, the Scottish pair were particularly impressive at Rockingham and took their first pole of the season at Silverstone, but nobody quite expected them to repeat the feat at Spa against such stuff opposition, not least by an entire second…
Come the race, Mitchell held on well against his more experienced European counterparts and was still comfortably the leading the British championship runner when a fuel pump failure left the 16-year-old stranded on track. Lanan Racing's Alex Reed and Joey Foster were the grateful beneficiaries, ahead of championship leaders Graham Johnson and Mike Robinson in another Ginetta.
Drama in GT4! @SMitchellRacing's race leading @BlackBullWhisky @McLaren_GT has ground to a halt at T12 having held a 20s lead.
— Ecurie Ecosse (@Ecurie_Ecosse) July 9, 2016
Despite it's obvious pace, the 570S GT4 still represents the risky option for potential customers, with cut-price alternatives from Aston Martin and Ginetta offering proven performance at a manageable cost. But if McLaren can improve their reliability, they will have a truly potent weapon on their hands – that first win will surely come sooner rather than later.

Speaking FRANK-ly About Jesus:
Twelve of Nineteen Reasons to Conclude that Nazareth is Geographical Fiction.
Frank Zindler's blog dedicated to the thesis that Jesus of Nazareth never existed.
René Salm's new book NazarethGate: Quack Archeology, Holy Hoaxes, and the Invented Town of Jesus is finally available on Amazon.com and the American Atheist Website (www.atheists.org). A Kindle edition will be available in early December, 2015. As I have already mentioned, this new book firmly drives the last nails into the coffin of the New Testament fiction that long ago was christened "Nazareth." As promised in my previous posting, I shall share nineteen reasons to conclude that the town in which Jesus is supposed to have grown up—the town which both The Roman Catholic Church and the Greek Orthodox Church concur corresponds to real estate they now own—never existed at the turn of the era, when Mary and Joseph are supposed to have set up housekeeping there.
Here we go!
1. The venerated sites at present-day Nazareth do not fit the description of the city in the Gospel of Luke. It is well to remind readers that even many apologists and scholars who argue in favor of turn-of-the-era habitation of present-day Nazareth agree: it cannot be the site described in Luke 4:16–30, a city (polis) built with a synagogue atop a hill with a cliff from which the congregation of the synagogue tried to cast Jesus down to his death. They prefer to admit that "Luke" was incorrect in his description of the "city" (the New Testament scholar Bart Ehrman terms it "a one-dog town") rather than accept the fact that the Christian-tourist mecca was not inhabited when Jesus and the Holy Family should have been living in it.
2. There is not today—nor for geological reasons could there ever have been—any cliff near the top of the hill now grown over by the modern city. There has never been any Lukan "brow of the hill" from which Jesus could have been launched into orbit.
3. There are no remains of any first-century synagogue atop the Nazareth hill, and no buildings of any kind have ever existed atop the hill before early modern times. No first-century synagogue has been found anywhere at all within the modern city. Indeed, it is unclear that any synagogues at all existed that early in this part of the Galilee.
4. Nazareth is unknown to the Old Testament, although the neighboring village of Japhia (Yaffia or Yaf'a) is mentioned in Josh. 19:12.
5. Neither Babylonian nor Jerusalem Talmud knows anything of any place called Nazareth—even though some 63 Galilean towns are mentioned in them. Think about this! While it is unclear what the ancient boundaries were for the roughly circular area called Galilee (the word derives from a Hebrew word meaning "circle"), counting the squares in a grid map of modern Israel would indicate a land area of around 1,200 square miles. Dividing that area by 63, we see that on average the Talmuds record the existence of one settlement for every 19 square miles—an area equivalent to a square about 4.4 miles on each side. With that level of coverage, what is the probability that "Nazareth" would have been overlooked?Amazingly, the implications of such a calculation are even more stunning when one realizes that at least two-thirds of the surface of Galilee would have been unsuitable for placement of villages and cities, due to the hilly or even mountainous nature of the terrain. (Contrary to "Luke," very few towns were placed on mountainsides in ancient times!) If—as the composers of the Talmuds surely did—we exclude all the land completely unsuited for anything other than agriculture and mortuary sepulture, we are left with an area of a mere 400 square miles, with coverage of one settlement for every square of land about 2.5 miles long on each side. Such coverage comes reasonably close to exhaustive for anyone without a religious ax to grind. (It is worth remembering that the ancient town of Japhia mentioned in the Bible was only a little over two miles away from present-day downtown Nazareth.)
6. Josephus, although he waged war within two miles of present-day Nazareth and fortified the nearby town of Japhia, does not list Nazareth among the 45 cities and towns of Galilee in his experience.
7. No geographer or historian before the fourth century mentions Nazareth.
8. There is no isnad (continuous, traditional chain of attestation) to tie the modern city to the biblical "city." There are at least several centuries separating the gospel habitation from the first verifiable and datable attestations of its location at the present site. (With the exception of Jerusalem, Jericho, Tiberias, and several other places, this is true also for nearly all the gospel towns and places.)
9. The church father Origen (c. 184–c. 254), although he lived at Caesarea just thirty miles from Nazareth, did not know where it was located—even though he had made serious efforts to study the biblical sites: "We have visited the places to learn by inquiry of the footsteps of Jesus and of his disciples and of the prophets."
10. Nazareth is never mentioned in any of the epistles of the New Testament—including the Pauline letters that are usually considered the earliest documents of the New Testament.
11. Nazareth is never mentioned in the Apocalypse (Book of Revelation), and is unknown to most of the apocryphal gospels and Gnostic works.
12. Tellingly, Acts of the Apostles records no apostolic activities occurring at Nazareth. This is very strange if it actually was so important not only in the life of Jesus but in the lives of his supposed disciples as well.
I think these twelve reasons are enough for this post. I'll discuss seven more in my next posting.

A few weeks ago I ended up going camping in rural Idaho for a few days. Purely by accident, the trip ended up being the first time I've truly disconnected for any significant period of time from the internet in probably 10 years.
Image credit: Pexels
Smartphones and readily-available WiFi have made it so we're always connected to the world. That's amazing, until you're trying to take a vacation and forget about work for a few days, or frankly just enjoy a Tuesday night at home. To do that, Art Markman, Professor of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, has a few suggestions. He wrote about a few of them this week in the Harvard Business Review.
Think About What You're Doing Instead of Work
When you're away from the office, there's a little bit of FOMO that comes into play regarding what you're missing out on while you're gone. What if you miss an important email? Or someone really needs your input in a proposal? Clearly, you should check your email obsessively while you're sitting on the beach just in case. Except no you shouldn't.
Instead, Markman suggests on focusing on all the great things you're going to do while you're not at work rather than what you're missing out on when you're not there. If you plan to "not think about work" then you're pretty much setting yourself up for failure. You're thinking about work right now, aren't you?
Focus on that awesome dinner you're going to go to, or the quality time you're spending with your kids. The more specific the thing the better. For instance, instead of thinking about "family time" think about the movie night you're planning with the whole family.
Set Yourself Up For Success
The analogy Marksman uses is that you don't stop smoking by carrying around a pack of cigarettes. Instead, he suggests putting away all your work related stuff so the temptation isn't there. Turn your work phone off (or log out of your work email on your phone), stash your computer away rather than leaving it out and ready to be turned on. The harder you make it to access that work stuff, the more you're likely to think twice about it before using it.
Still want more suggestions? Markman has a few other great tips for disconnecting in his story on Harvard Business Reviews's website.

The Balash was a Asp [1] naga archer. The word "balash" meant "strong bowman". [2] He was trained as Naga Hunter. [3]
Early years Edit
The Balash was once a simple Ashamana, angry inside and separated from the Akasha because of the imbalance in his emotions. The hatred he bore for the humans was deep. He did not celebrate the feasts and holidays, only speaking with others about the topic of warcraft. [4]
Great Sleep Edit
The High Priest of the Atman came to see him before the Ashamana passed his first shedding, and realized that to give him peace, he must pass a war in the future, one foresaw by a Cobra. The new Balash embraced the Great Sleep with the prospect of war fascinating the child. [5]
Awakening Edit
When the Balash awakened the Naga had no land they could call their own, and the Rokugani mastered the world. He was filled with rage against the Shadowlands, against his kin, who restrained him to kill humans, and rage at the future. [6]
Attacked by the Humans Edit
Three Naga who had been wandering in the border of the Shinomen were killed by ronin mercenaries hired by the Falcon Clan. They were stripped of their pearls and gold by Mikaru. The next morning the Balash led the Asp against the watching tower of the ronin, being all killed but Mikaru. He was sent away by Balash, with a warning for the rest of the humans. "Warn them what happens to those who sssslaughter the Naga." Mikaru was cast out for his failure and became a sworn enemy of the Balash. [7]
Clan War Edit
Naga Aid Refused at Court Edit
In 1127 the Dashmar was sent to the Imperial Court as an emissary of the Naga. He informed the Court that they had awakened from slumber to fight the rising evil they sensed in the Shadowlands. He was not taken seriously, and located those individuals who would hear the wisdom of the Naga. [8] The Shahadet became upset and the Balash suggested to attack the humans, but the Qamar kept both in check. [9] A second embassy accompanied by Mirumoto Daini was sent, [10] but it ended in disaster, ruined by the maipulations of Bayushi Kachiko, the Emperor's wife. [11]
Mikaru's Death Edit
Mikaru, a naga hunter and member of the Forest-Killers was slain by the Balash. [12]
Hidden Emperor Edit
The Siege of Sleeping Mountain Edit
The Balash was part of the naga army in the Siege of Sleeping Mountain. [2] [13] [14]
Naga Storms Mirumoto Mountain Edit
Hitomi twisted by the Obsidian Hand tried to use the knowledge of Shosuro, trapped in the Chamber of Crystal, but the result was the freedom of the Scorpion Thunder and the Lying Darkness began to expand. The Naga cut all the paths to Kyuden Hitomi but their final attack was halted by the Imperial Legions. [15]
Morikage Forest Edit
In 1132 the Balash, Ralish, Malekish and Isha were in the Morikage Forest following Hoshi, to protect him until his fate could come. They felt the Lying Darkness inside the forest. [16] They fought the minions of the Nothing, and when Malekish sensed Otaku Kamoko, Isha commanded Balash to bring her. Isha believed she could rescue the kidnapped Emperor Toturi I, and could help the Naga to tell him about the Foul. The Akasha also sensed Kamoko to be tainted, but it was strange almost separate from her own soul, as if another mind hid within her own. The Akasha sensed Kyoso no Oni's soul within the body of Kamoko. [17]
Morikage Castle Edit
The naga carried Kamoko, with her mind still hovered in a half-lucid dream. A Mantis archer, Tsuruchi, stepped in and stop, saying confused words regarding his haunting party. When Kamoko awake the minions of the Shadow began their attack. The Naga gifted Tsuruchi Crystal Arrows and the Mantis fired the faceless enemies. After a sudden explosion not too much far, the naga realized Hoshi had made his way out of the forest, and the group retreated to the Mori Kage Castle. [18]
Rescue of Toturi Edit
Inside the castle Tsuruchi saw a shadow and fired it, to realize he had wounded the bloodspeaker Jama Suru, who had Otaku Xieng Chi as a hostage. A Goju appeared and tore some shoji screens to ruin, revealing a chained man stood in the center of the room, Toturi I. The minions of the Shadows attacked the naga group, and the sorcerer. Suru released Xieng Chi and began to chant, while the Otaku released the Emperor from his chains, and the rest fought the Goju. Suru created a hole in the floor of the castle and many Goju fell through it. Xieng Chi was saved to fell to death by Balash. While the Goju were rallying, Suru, Xieng Chi and Toturi magically departed with a maho spell empowered with Kamoko's blood. Tsuruchi was the last to escape from the castle, and the group survived after they were found by a Mantis patrol led by Yoritomo himself, who had entered the forest with their Ikoma allies to find what had occurred to Tsuruchi and his men. [18]
War against the Shadow Edit
Otosan Uchi Edit
In 1132 the Kami Shinjo and Empire forces marched to the Assault on Otosan Uchi. Balash went to give them crystal weapons [19] but did not join the fight. [20]
Twenty-Seven Days of Darkness Edit
Onnotangu was dead and Amaterasu had fled the Celestial Heavens, beginning the Twenty-Seven Days of Darkness. In the thirteenth day of the Twenty-Seven Days of Darkness Hitomi appeared at the border of the Shinomen Forest. The Balash told her that she was not welcomed and requested to turn back. [21]
Yakamo's Rebirth Edit
The same year Hida Yakamo was restored to life through the sacrifice of Shashakar. Yakamo told about the Shadows and where they really lied. The Constrictor priests took Balash, rode his mind and became one with his soul to see what had happened at Morikage. The Balash whispered one name, Goju Adorai. This ancient man believed dead was the leader of the Shadows, and his illusion had been uncovered. [22] Yakamo was at the same time the reborn Qatol and commanded the Naga to join the Empire forces against the Shadows. [23]
Race to Volturnum Edit
Balash was part of the naga army that march toward Volturnum. When they reached the Shadowlands border they met the Crab army led by Hida O-Ushi. The Crab tensed for battle against the Naga army who were requested to leave, despite the presence of the Qatol-Yakamo. The Balash fired with his bow, and O-Ushi saw near her death. The arrow passed through O-Ushi's arm and into the chest of a man behind her, who was a Goju Shapeshifter disguised as a Crab. The Balash had saved O-Ushi's life, and both armies marched against their true enemy, the Foul. [24] The naga sensed the Akasha strangely strong in the depths of the Shadowlands. [25]
Oblivion's Gate Edit
The Balash killed a Goju disguised as a Crab, disrupting it's attempt to assassinate Hida O-Ushi. [26]
Distrust of Humans Edit
The Balash believed humans to be weak, and that any alliance with them would cost the naga dearly. [27] Balash believed that the human capacity for betrayal could be as dangerous as the Shadowlands itself. [28] These feelings were faded after the events in the Morikage Forest, when the naga saw how the humans worked together to rescue their Emperor against the Foul. The Balash even saved a human, Xieng Chi, from a certain death, something completely out oh his mind before. [18]
Awakening Edit
The Balash awakened for a short time in 1198, feeling unusually tired. He had most likely killed the ronin Karui in his sleep, as Karui was in the area collecting Naga artifacts with his uncle Chuo, Shinjo Itao and Shinjo Kinto. The Balash's blade was missing.[29]

I am happy with the new cover for my Karlstad sofa. I had received a fabric swatch in advance so I had a good feeling about the material I had selected, which works great for our space. The craftsmanship is lovely, and the cover should last many years. My only comment would be that the cover for the base of the sofa is a touch bigger than need be. But it's not so big that I would not be able to use or enjoy it. And delivery was super fast, even to a place as far away as Tasmania! Thank you.

Arcos Hermanos is the first knife Spanish business with the greatest international expansion. In 1734 the scissors manufactured by Juan de Arcos set the beginning of the company. In 1875 Gregorio Arcos created from his small artisan workshop for the crafting of knifes, scissor and daggers a knifes mass production factory. A century later, Gregorio Arcos Villanueva started the international growth.
The big amount of internal and external departments' meetings led the company to look for a more agile and flexible system that would allow them to a carry on any kind of face to face or online meetings. Arcos found it clear that overhead projectors had become obsolete, so they were looking for a multifunctional device that would facilitate employees their daily work in an easy, modern and intuitive way.
After taking a look at different options across the market, Arcos chose X9 Series Newline screen due to its easiness of use, versatility to connect to any kind of device regardless of the brand or characteristics and because it offered an all-in-one solution that facilitates a lot its use for people who are not so familiarized with new technologies. Arcos found out that just with ten minutes training, any person would be able to take a presentation, use the integrated whiteboard or undertake a conference call.
Arcos uses the interactive X9 screen in its main meeting room.
The decision to install this kind of screen has been welcomed by all managers of the company.
Meetings are carried out almost every day and the use of the screen has become indispensable.
Most of the attendees join the meetings with their own devices (tablets and laptops) and connect wireless to the screen just in seconds thanks to the integrated application Newline Cast.

Wisdom Teeth seem to get a lot of attention – and for all the wrong reasons. These large 3rd molars are located way at the back of the mouth and have a reputation of causing discomfort and hampering the health of other teeth.
Why Are They Called Wisdom Teeth? Referred to as 'teeth of wisdom' since the 17th century – Wisdom Teeth became the usual term adopted in the 19th century to describe these late erupting teeth that emerge between the age of 16 to 24 – when we 'supposedly' have gained more wisdom. Now keep in mind that the average life expectancy of a person living in the 17th century was only forty (39.7 to be exact) so being considered wise by the age of twenty does seem relative. But for those of us enjoying life in the 21st century with an average global life expectancy of 73 – dealing with pesky wisdom teeth as a teenager just doesn't add up. The eruption of Wisdom Teeth doesn't seem to have become any easier over the years – with many patients seeking dental treatment to address the associated concerns.
Partially Erupted Wisdom Teeth All teeth erupt at an expected time and position in the mouth. Tooth eruption is a process that consists of fast and slow periods – fast moving out of the jaw bone and slower as the tooth moves through mucosal tissue (gum). The eruption process can be further slowed by the tooth's inability to create a strong pathway for eruption. Due to the size and location of Wisdom Teeth the eruption pathway can be blocked or hampered by the position of other molars – resulting in a lack of space for the final eruption phase to occur. If the eruption process slows dramatically the signal to erupt can be lost – leaving teeth partially in bone and partially erupted through soft tissue. Partial eruption of Wisdom Teeth can pose problems as they are prone to becoming infected. Covered by a flap of gum – teeth and tissue become inflamed due to food debris and plaque getting caught under the remaining flap of tissue. A condition known as Pericoronitis develops – and requires the extraction of teeth to treat the inflammation and infection.
Wisdom Teeth Can Cause Crowding Crowding of other teeth is a real concern during the eruption of Wisdom Teeth. Not wanting to be left out of the party, Wisdom Teeth will elbow other teeth out of the way to secure their position at the back of the mouth. The resulting pressure on other molars can cause teeth to become crowded at the front of the mouth and for the roots of other molars to be eroded. Once radiographically diagnosed as being a potential dental health risk – extraction of Wisdom Teeth is recommended to protect the alignment and vitality of other teeth.

Good morning! Hope you've had a wonderful week. Here's another Christmas layout using one of Julie Nutting's girls. She is all dressed up for a night on the town!
This is not a Christmas theme layout but it fits the season since we attend so many parties and are not always dressed in "red", right? This was one of the layouts I designed for Treasured Memories last time I was there. These papers are from Webster Pages. I love, love their colors and style.
Remember to stop by this blog as well as Kits n Bits on Sunday since it will be the last weekend of our Christmas Blog Hop. On Christmas morning we will announce the winners from each one of our blogs.
Have a wonderful and blessed weekend!

"Put your nose down and do some work, you'll succeed at whatever you want." Comedian – George Carlin
Like many things in life we set goals for ourselves to achieve and are all pumped to see them become a reality. Some of the goals are short term, others medium term and some long term. However, for many of us at a certain point in our lives our motivation might drop. Unfortunately, some people never regain the motivation to achieve their goals. This blog shares what myself and different people do to stay motivated to achieve their goals and how you can do the same.
It's important to note that each of us are motivated by different things. What lights the fire for one person might have zero effect on another. If is important to find out what motivates you and then create a picture in your mind of that image (or have a real picture in front of you of achieving that goal). Below are some techniques you can use to help stay motivated to achieve your goals.
1) Re-charge: it's very important to take time to relax. You can't train 24/7 or you will eventually burn out. Think of it like driving your car but not taking the time to re-fill with gas. I like to completely change the scenery for my day off. If possible take a day or two and get out of town. Often times, it's not only about re-charging physically but mentally. A change of scenery can greatly help with this.
2) Turn your to-do list upside down: some people's to-do lists are simply too long term and they never feel they are making progress to attaining those goals (even if they are). If this is you, a good strategy is to completely re-do your list and break it into smaller goals (keeping the larger goals in mind). By having smaller goals we can make progress and can see it. Seeing the progress helps to keep the motivation up.
3) Have pictures of your dream to remind you of your goal: if you're having a bad day at work or dealing with people you don't like it's good to keep photos of what you're striving for. This could be materialistic things such as a cottage, car, or vacation destination. It could also be athletic achievements such as scoring x-amount of goals or hoisting the championship trophy.
4) Set new goals for yourself: if you scored five goals this past season then set a new goal to score more the following season. I always tracked how many goals, assists, and completed passes I made. I wrote them down and re-visited them often. The team's success was more important but part of that success required me to score at least 10 goals a season and have more than 15 assists. If you're feeling low on the motivation level, think of new goals you can set for yourself.
5) Break the cycle up: when I was transitioning to eating healthier foods and cutting out bad foods it was difficult at first. I did some research and learned that if you go all gung-ho for several weeks and don't allow yourself a day or two to relax and enjoy sugars and sweets then you are more likely to never stick to your eating regime. I like to call it a "cheat day" where I eat anything I want. It breaks up the cycle and gives me something aim for. For instance, every second Friday may be a cheat day. Leading up to that day I will stick to the plan knowing that on Friday I can let loose and relax. Then after breaking the cycle it allows me to re-charge and get focused again.
6) Role Models: having role models in different areas of life is a great way to keep your motivation up. Growing up, I liked having posters in my room of the best athletes in their respective sports on my walls. I posted motivational quotations on my door, peg board and desk. These people displayed the motivation, drive and determination to achieve their goals and that within itself motivated me to achieve my own.
7) Be the best you can be: maybe you have friends or people within your life that for whatever reason motivate you. Plain and simple, you want to be better than them! Think of them as a "dot on the board" which you are trying to surpass. Prove to them to them that you are better and improving each day. They don't need to know they are your motivation (just keep that in the back of your mind). Look at the them as a stepping stone for your success.
The great thing about today is that with the use of technology we are able to track our progress to finest detail. You can take pictures, videos, use grids and different tracking systems to watch your progress. If you're trying as hard as you can and don't start to see results in 3-6 months (or sooner depending on the goal) then it is time to tweak your approach to achieving this goal. A professor once told me that doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. The way I look at is, find out what motivates you and then stick to the formula where you are seeing success.

|July 14, 1988
|Release # 88-051
WASHINGTON, DC - Beachcombers International Inc. of Fort Myers, Florida is voluntarily recalling water toys and a squeaking toy snake because they may pose choking and lead poisoning hazards to young children.
The imported toys recalled by Beachcombers International are:
- "Big Mouth Fish, Hippo, and Frog," plastic wind-up water toys labeled "MASUDAYA 1976 Made in Hong Kong;" some 8,000 toys were sold nationally for about $2 each.
- "Devil Fish," an eight-inch wind-up toy in the shape of a fish which was imported from Hong Kong and sold for $2 in New Jersey and Virginia.
- "Lively Squeaking Snake," a plastic cobra snake some 21 inches long from China which sold nationally for $1.
Consumers should immediately take the toys away from children and return them to the retail store for a refund of the purchase price.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said both water toys have small parts, which may present a choking hazard to young children; the toy snake contains an excessive amount of lead in the surface coating. The violations were discovered by U.S. Customs' agents and CPSC inspectors during routine import surveillance at the Port of Miami. Consumers desiring additional information may call Beachcombers International at 1-813-731-2111.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the Commission.
To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury go online to www.SaferProducts.gov or call CPSC's Hotline at 800-638-2772 or teletypewriter at 301-595-7054 for the hearing impaired. Consumers can obtain news release and recall information at www.cpsc.gov, on Twitter @USCPSC or by subscribing to CPSC's free e-mail newsletters.

Tuning into History as PreMed?
I'm back from the American Historical Association (AHA) Meeting in New York City where Dr. Marinari and I participated in a series of Tuning Workshops. The Tuning Project focuses defining the core characteristic of history and what a person taking a history class, or majoring in history, should know and should be able to do. In other words, what is the value of history? There will be much more on that to come (including many opportunities to pun). We covered a lot of ground in three days and six or seven meetings and workshops.
One participant made the point that history is a good premed program. Sounds unorthodox? To a certain extent it is, but there are studies suggesting that it has its virtues. Think about that visit to a doctor's office. What does the doctor do? You outline a problem (my xxx hurts). The doctors asks questions such as when did it start hurting, has the pain changed, did something change it, etc. He or she then consults the paper or digital record to flesh out the narrative that explains the problem. In other words, he or she determines your medical history. Sure, you won't be treated with history (I hope), but historical thinking is a critical part of the process. What does professor Google tell us about history and premed? Here are two stories.

3 bright spots driving U.S. apparel
Millennials, athleisure, and e-commerce continue to be the brightest spots in the U.S. apparel industry, though they lost some of their intensity in 2017, according to The NPD Group. The firm reports this slowed momentum among the industry's key sales drivers, combined with declines in other segments, resulted in $215 billion in U.S. apparel sales in 2017, a 2% decline in from 2016.
The athleisure movement and influence on fashion continue to drive growth:
- Sales of men's and women's activewear grew in 2017
- Women's supplied much of the energy behind the category's growth
- E-commerce remains a driving force
- Brick-and-mortar still represents more than 3/4 of annual industry dollars
"The apparel industry is being challenged to respond to the latest changes being driven by the broader consumer and retail environment, "says Marshal Cohen, chief industry advisor at The NPD Group, Inc. "The rapid pace of change in Millennial consumption is one major change that points back to the importance of evolving consumer segmentation. The future of the apparel business depends on manufacturers and retailers refocusing on the current needs of each critical consumer segment."
Millennials, women's activewear fuel growth
In 2017, Millennials had the highest apparel growth rate of all generations at 4%, representing $2 billion in incremental sales. However, even the growth among this powerhouse has slowed from the double-digit increases seen over the past two years. Despite the slower growth rate among both Millennials and Gen Xers, they were the only generations with increases in apparel dollar sales in 2017. Baby Boomers, who account for nearly 20% of annual apparel dollar sales, and Gen Z, who generated almost a third of total apparel dollar sales, both experienced declines in overall spend for the year, according to NPD.
The athleisure movement and influence on fashion also continue to be a primary driver of growth opportunity for the industry. Non-activewear sales declined while activewear apparel continued on its growth trajectory in 2017, although not making as steep a rise as in past years — dollar sales increased 2% to $48 billion, which amounts to 22% of total industry sales. Sales of both men's and women's activewear grew in 2017, but women's supplied much of the energy behind the category's growth, reaching $21.9 billion in sales with a 4% increase over 2016, reports NPD.
In-store sales outpace e-commerce
E-commerce also remains a driving force at retail as in-store apparel sales have declined, but brick-and-mortar still represents more than three-quarters of annual industry dollars. E-commerce has had a relatively slow progression in apparel compared to other industries, from 16% of sales in 2014 to 21% in 2017. In 2017, online apparel sales grew just 4% from the prior year, following double-digit growth in the prior two years.
"According to e-commerce insights from NPD's Checkout, which is based on information collected from more than three million consumers through data provided by our partner Slice Intelligence, the purchase frequency of online apparel consumers increased in the last year, but they spent 5% less per receipt," the firm states.
Categories like active apparel bottoms, undershirts, and swimwear — which indicate the consumer's concentration on comfort, the staples, and niche products — are the few sources of consistent, long-term growth in today's apparel market, Cohen says.
"Retail is changing, the consumer is changing, and every industry must understand where spending habits have moved, and adapt to the shifting market dynamics that are impacting their business," he adds.

Charterboat Faith and San Diego and supporters of the effort by the landing to take a 17-year-old Hodgkins patient on a Special Wish trip Christmas Eve day
Seventeen-year-old Kyle Riggs, who has Hodgkin's Lymphoma, wanted to visit San Diego (where it's warm) with his mother, Cincy Carrico and his 13-year-old sister, Cayla, to go fishing, see a Chargers game and visit the Zoo and Safari Park. They live in Oberlin, Ohio.
To make his wish come true, Marcia Allen of A Special Wish Foundation, Inc. in Lorain, Ohio, called the offices of H&M Landing, as she has done before, to request fishing trip passes. This time, however she was asking if she could arrange a discount on a private charter for Kyle and his family instead of her past request for passage on a regularly scheduled trip.
When asked, Captain John Guest, owner and operator the charter boat "Faith," stepped up and offered to run the discounted trip. On second thought, he offered to provide the trip at no cost, which would normally cost $1,000.
Then Capt. Guest and the staff at H&M Landing started reeling in the fish.
Capt. Guest called Everingham Brothers Bait Company and they offered to provide the bait free of charge. Then he called on his past employer at Toyota of Escondido who chipped in the cost of the fuel and lunch.
Capt. Guest, having learned that Kyle was a Chargers fan, contacted the Charger's office and the team has offered to do something special for Kyle. (He came into town a day late to see the game.)
The Zoo and Safari Park also gave complimentary passes to the family.
The H&M landing office contacted the California Department of Fish & Wildlife to inquire about donated or discounted fishing licenses for the trip.
