Happy Earth Day,
We have big news today! For people looking for a shorter adventure, SCRA is offering an opportunity to paddle along with the week-long 2016 Paddle Namekagon for just 3 days and 3 nights from June 12-15. Over the years, we've had a lot of people ask for a shorter option for our river trips. We thought we'd give it a try this year.
The registration fee for this shorter trip option is $200 which covers shuttle, transportation of gear along the route, 3 nights of camping, daytime and evening educational programs, and 4 meals. The deadline to register has been extended to May 15 for both options. See the Schedule page to read more about each River Day included in the 3-day option.
If you'd like to add some comfort to your trip, there are still some rooms available at the Lenroot Lodge and Comfort Suites. Visit the Schedule page to learn more about the overnight options and details for each day of the trip.
50 Days to River Time
I am often asked how to pack for this trip. My best advice is to plan for cool, rainy weather, and hope you can shed the layers. While this spring has been somewhat mild, it's impossible to know if that means a warm, dry summer. Northern Wisconsin weather conditions can change very quickly. I highly recommend bringing a quick-wicking base layer, good rain gear, and of course a swimsuit. Pack well, but don't over pack. A good basic what-to-bring list can be found on the Trip Planning section of the website. Also on that page is a downloadable gear list that has a bit more detail.
Some people have switched from duffle bags to plastic tubs for either their gear or for food items. It's a practice we encourage. Tubs stack well and can be easily labeled. Please do keep in mind that each person is limited to 50 pounds of gear in two bags or tubs, plus a tent.
Take care, and we'll see you on the River,
Deb Ryun
River Day 4 – Wednesday, June 15
N. Springbrook to Trego (15 miles)
Good morning and welcome to River Day 4. The weather forecast is for clear skies, with a high of 78 degrees and an overnight low of 48 degrees.
After breaking camp and preparing for the day, the nice folks at Camp Namekagon will take you and your gear back to the river and your boat. It'll be another day with a nice mix of paddle conditions. The float to Trego is about 15 miles and is another beauty; this stretch of river is heavily used for fishing and, in warm weather, tubing.
Downstream from Springbrook, the river is mostly calm with a few small riffles and rapids. After Big Bend Landing the river widens, slows further, becomes sandy, and is an easy paddle. Midway through the day, look river right for Earl Landing. It's a nice rest stop and National Park Ranger Jeff Butler will give a fly fishing demonstration between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
After Earl Landing, the river becomes more narrow and has a few rapids. You'll also want to keep your eyes open for evidence of where the Namekagon Farm and Veazie Dam once stood. Both sites played important roles during the river's logging era.
Take out will be at Log Cabin Resort and Campground (river left) just past Jack's and before the highway bridge. Log Cabin has a small store with snacks, souvenirs, and pay showers if you're interested. Dinner options are available on your own within walking distance. This is your last night for optional cabin rental along the trip. If you would like to reserve a cabin at Log Cabin Resort and Campground, call 715-635-2959 or 1-877-867-6757.
Park Ranger Joan Jacobowski will lead a nature hike for those interested, and later in the evening, Matt Berg will give his famous talk on mussels of the Riverway.
For paddlers on the 3-day trip, this is the last stop on your adventure with us. Shuttles will take you and your gear back to your vehicles in Seeley.
We hope you find these what-to-expect posts useful! Watch for the overview of River Day 5 coming your way next week.

Aaron Carter Carter performing at the Gramercy Theatre in 2014Background informationBirth name Aaron Charles CarterBorn (1987-12-07) December 7, 1987 (age 30)
Aaron Charles Carter[6] (born December 7, 1987)[6] is an American singer. He first came to fame as a pop and hip hop singer in the late 1990s, establishing himself as a star among pre-teen and teenage audiences during the first years of the 21st century[7] with his four studio albums.
Born in Tampa, Florida, Carter began performing at age seven and released his self-titled debut album in 1997 at age 10, selling a million copies worldwide. His second album Aaron's Party (Come Get It) (2000) sold three million copies in the United States, and Carter began making guest appearances on Nickelodeon and touring with the Backstreet Boys shortly after the record's release.[8] Carter's next album, Oh Aaron, also went platinum, and the musician released what would be his last studio album for 16 years, Another Earthquake!, in 2002, followed by his 2003 Most Requested Hits collection.
He has since appeared on Dancing With the Stars, the Broadway musical Seussical, the off-Broadway musical The Fantasticks, and made several one-off performances.[9] In 2014, he announced that he would begin releasing new music[10] and began by releasing a single featuring rapper Pat SoLo, "Ooh Wee",[11] which first became available as a free download with purchase on his web store.[12] Carter released a single, Fool's Gold, on April 1, 2016 and an EP titled LøVë on February 10, 2017. His fifth studio album of the same name was released on February 16, 2018.Contents
Aaron Charles Carter was born on December 7, 1987, at the Tampa General Hospital in Tampa, Florida, where his parents, Jane Elizabeth (née Spaulding) and Robert Gene Carter (1952-2017),[13] ran the Garden Villa Retirement Home. The family was originally from New York City, where his older brother Nick, of the boy band Backstreet Boys, was born. In addition to his brother Nick, he also has three sisters: twin sister Angel (a model), B.J. and Leslie (1986–2012). Carter is named after his paternal grandfather, Aaron Charles Carter, and his maternal grandfather, Douglas "Charles" Spaulding. Carter attended the Frank D. Miles Elementary School and the Ruskin School in Florida.[14]Music career 1997–1999: Music beginnings and self-titled debut album
Carter began his performing career at the age of seven, as the lead singer of Dead End, a local band formed after the members met at a rock school that they attended in Tampa.[15] He left the band after two years because they were interested in alternative rock while Carter was interested in pop.[15]
Carter made his first solo appearance, singing a cover of The Jets' "Crush on You", when opening for the Backstreet Boys in Berlin in March 1997.[16] The performance was followed by a record contract, and in the fall of 1997, he released his first single, "Crush on You". His first full-length album was released on December 1, 1997. The eponymous debut album achieved gold status in Norway, Spain, Denmark, Canada, and Germany, and was released in the United States on June 16, 1998.2000–2002: Aaron's Party (Come Get It), acting debut, and Oh Aaron
Carter's next album, Aaron's Party (Come Get It) was released in the United States on September 26, 2000 under the Jive label. The album sold more than three million copies in the United States and was certified 3x platinum by RIAA.[17][18] The album included the hit singles, "I Want Candy", "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)", "That's How I Beat Shaq" and "Bounce", which songs received airplay on Disney and Nickelodeon. He also made several guest appearances on Nickelodeon and performed as opening act in several concerts for Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys. In December of that year the album went platinum and he began dating teen actress Hilary Duff.
In March 2001, he made his acting debut, guest starring on an episode of the Disney Channel series Lizzie McGuire. That same month, he and fellow teen star Samantha Mumba performed a concert in MGM studios live on Disney Channel, titled Aaron Carter and Samantha Mumba in Concert. Aaron's part of the concert was released to DVD that same month as Aaron's Party: Live in Concert. In April 2001, he made his Broadway debut, playing JoJo the Who in Seussical the Musical by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty.
At the age of 13, Carter recorded the album Oh Aaron, which was released on August 7, 2001 and featured his first duet recording with his brother, Nick, and a duet with the new group at the time, No Secrets. Play Along Toys also created an Aaron Carter action figure in conjunction with the album's release.[19] Oh Aaron also went platinum that same year and a live concert at Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was released to DVD as Oh Aaron: Live In Concert.2002–2008: Another Earthquake, lawsuits, relationships, Most Requested Hits, Saturday Night and House of Carters Carter performing in 2005.
Carter's next album, Another Earthquake!, was released on September 3, 2002, during the "Rock, Rap, and Retro" tour. The album featured the patriotic-themed "America A.O." and the ballad "Do You Remember". He guest starred on three episodes of the Nickelodeon TV show, All That and sang the theme song to the PBS animated series Liberty's Kids, titled "Through my own Eyes."
During that time, Carter's parents filed a lawsuit against his former manager, Lou Pearlman (now deceased), in 2002 alleging failure to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in royalties on Carter's 1998 album, which was released through Pearlman's label and production company, Trans Continental. On March 13, 2003, Pearlman was declared in contempt of court for ignoring a court order to produce documents relating to royalty payments.[20]
Carter had also dated Lindsay Lohan along with his girlfriend Hilary Duff at the same time (leading to a feud between the two), but he broke up with Lohan in April 2003, and resumed dating Duff. Later, that same year, he reportedly cheated on her and Duff ended their on-and-off relationship after two years.[citation needed] Carter's Most Requested Hits, a collection including tracks from his last three albums as well as a new single, "One Better", was released on November 3, 2003.
"Saturday Night", which was released on March 22, 2005 and was promoted by Carter during his summer 2005 Remix Tour. The song was released by Trans Continental label, with Lou Pearlman as executive producer. The single was also featured in the soundtrack of the film Popstar, in which Carter starred. The direct-to-video film was based heavily on his own life as a performer. A real-life motocross racer, Carter also appeared in 2005's Supercross. On March 21, 2006, Trans Continental filed a lawsuit against Carter within the Los Angeles Superior Court, citing that Carter allegedly reneged on a recording deal. Carter had signed the contract on December 7, 2004, when he was 17 and underage. His attorney however stated that Carter had the right to "cancel or void various agreements" that were signed when he was a minor.[21]
Carter and his siblings starred in a reality show, House of Carters, which ran in October–November 2006 on E!. The series features all five Carter siblings reuniting to live in the same house.[7] On September 18, 2006, it was reported that Carter was engaged to former beauty queen and Playboy model Kari Ann Peniche.[22][23] US Weekly later reported that Carter had broken off his engagement to Peniche, saying he was impulsive in proposing to her.[24]2008–2013: Dancing with the Stars, comeback and return to touring
In 2009, Carter joined season 9 of Dancing with the Stars.[25][26] On November 10, he was eliminated from the show along with his partner Karina Smirnoff.

On August 22, 2010, Carter performed in Lake Ronkonkoma, NY at a benefit concert for Audrianna Bartol, a 3-year-old stricken with Stage 4 neuroblastoma cancer.[27]
On January 23, 2011, Carter's manager Johnny Wright announced that Carter had entered a treatment facility "to heal some emotional and spiritual issues he was dealing with."[28] After entering the facility, Carter's first message to his fans was, "The main thing in life is not to be afraid of being human."[29] On February 10, 2011, it was announced that Carter had successfully completed a month of rehab at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California.[30] Carter was scheduled to perform a second benefit concert for Audrianna Bartol on February 5, 2011 in Lake Ronkonkoma, NY and a benefit for the activist organization, "Four Years. Go", was originally scheduled for February 24, 2011 in Manville, New Jersey. The Manville show was rescheduled to take place on March 24, 2011. On September 2, 2011, Carter performed a show at the Eagle Ridge Mall in Lake Wales, Florida.[31]
On November 7, 2011, Carter began starring in the Off-Broadway production of the world's longest running musical, The Fantasticks, at the Snapple Theater Center in New York City. Carter has been cast in the role of Matt, the play's central character.[32]
In January 2012, Carter was one of eight celebrities participating in the Food Network reality series Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off.[33] He was eliminated in the first episode.
Throughout 2012, Carter made several one-off performances. On January 12, 2012, Carter performed a concert at Showcase Live in Foxborough, Massachusetts,[34] and on January 19, 2012, he performed another concert at the Gramercy Theater in New York City.[35] On May 11, 2012, he performed an acoustic show at the Mohegan Sun casino in Uncasville, Connecticut.[36] Carter hosted a Ryan Cabrera show on May 30, 2012 in Flemington, New Jersey,[37] and performed at Mixtape Festival on August 17, 2012. In 2013, Carter kicked off his first tour in eight years, the After Party Tour.[38] The tour ran from February to December 2013 and included over 150 shows in the United States and Canada.2014–present: The Music Never Stopped and LØVË projects Carter performing "Ooh Wee" with rapper Pat SoLo in 2014 at the Gramercy Theatre
In June 2014, Carter went on an 11-city Canadian tour during which he performed new songs from his upcoming album. Carter also announced that he would be embarking on a worldwide tour entitled the Wonderful World Tour, named for a song titled "Wonderful World" off of his upcoming album.[39] The tour included 50 dates and ran from September 2014 until January 2015.[40] In July, Carter appeared on Good Day LA, where he performed "Ooh Wee",[41] a single featuring Pat SoLo.[42] In February 2015, Carter released an EP through Soundcloud titled The Music Never Stopped.[43]
On January 31, 2016, Carter released his music video for "Curious" [44] under the name Kid Carter, co-directed by MDM Media's Michael D. Monroe, Ben Epstein and Aaron Carter.
In April 2016, Carter released the single "Fool's Gold".[45] Another single, "Sooner or Later", was released in January 2017.[46] Both songs appeared on the EP LØVË, released in February 2017,[47] written by Carter, Jon Asher, Melanie Fontana, Taylor "Lakestreet Louie" Helgeson, and Michel Schulz,[48] produced and independently released by Carter on his new venture Rakkaus Records.[49] An album of the same name was released on February 16, 2018.[50]Personal life
On February 21, 2008, Carter was arrested in Kimble County, Texas, when he was pulled over for speeding, and authorities found less than two ounces of marijuana in his car.[51]
On November 22, 2013, Carter filed a bankruptcy petition to shed more than $3.5 million in debt,[52] mostly taxes owed from the money made at the height of his popularity.[53] "This is not a negative thing," Carter publicist Steve Honig told CNN. "It's actually very positive. It's him doing what he needs to do to move forward."[53] The petition states that Carter's biggest creditor is the U.S. government; "he owes the Internal Revenue Service $1.3 million in back taxes from his income in 2003, when Carter was just 16."[53] Carter settled all of his tax debt in 2014.[54]
On July 15, 2017, Aaron Carter was arrested in Georgia on suspicion of driving under the influence and marijuana charges according to law enforcement.[55] Later in July 2017, Carter discussed his health issues, namely a hiatal hernia and lactose intolerance.
Carter came out as bisexual via Twitter on August 5, 2017.[56] However, in 2018, he retracted his statement of bisexuality, calling it "misconstrued" and saying "I see myself being with a woman and having kids. I want to have a family".[57] In September 2018, announced his relationship with Lina Valentina as his girlfriend.[58]
In September 2017, Carter appeared on The Doctors, a syndicated health-focused talk show, to discuss public attention generated by his gaunt appearance and drug-related arrests.[59] A thorough series of tests and examinations revealed Carter was not suffering from cancer or any sexually transmitted disease, but he did have a candida infection which can be a sign of a weakened immune system. Carter tested negative for illegal drugs, but tested positive for "a mixture of benzodiazepines with opiates", a potentially dangerous combination of prescription medications that Carter said he took for anxiety and sleep. He was malnourished and underweight at 115 pounds (52 kg), with a body mass index of 17 (a BMI of 18.5 to 25 is normal range). Carter was advised to enter a drug rehabilitation program and remain under medical care.
Carter subsequently admitted himself to Alo House, a treatment center in Malibu, California. In February 2018, Carter reported improvement in his condition including therapy for coping with the May 2017 death of his father and a later breakup with a longtime girlfriend, that his weight was a healthier 160 pounds (75.5 kg).[60]Discography Main articles: Aaron Carter discography and List of songs recorded by Aaron Carter Studio albums

So, it's kinda cold outside. Which means the temptation to swaddle yourself in sweats and ratty old sweaters is, well, extremely high. And we're not here to stop you or persuade otherwise, but we are here to say this: Why not add a flirty bit of something sexy under all those layers? You know, to give you an extra shot of confidence, underneath it all?
After all, pretty lingerie isn't just for celebrating Valentine's Day (although, it doesn't hurt there, either). Every woman can benefit from an upgraded underwear drawer — and that's why we handpicked the most gorgeous offerings in all of London. But don't worry: there's not a single cheesy, furry, edible anything in sight. Promise.

On Friday of last week HP made available full details of research carried out by 3 security researchers who found new methods of bypassing defences added to Internet Explorer (IE). These are the same researchers that I mentioned in an earlier post. While Microsoft used this research to improve the security of Internet Explorer they only did so for the 64 bit version Internet Explorer. The 32 bit version remains vulnerable to the techniques outlined in this research.
In a blog post HP provided the reasons why Microsoft would not patch the 32 bit version of Internet Explorer. I have summarized these reasons below:
- 64 bit versions of IE benefit the most from ASLR
While this fact is not in doubt, the 32 bit version of IE is still very widely used as I mentioned in a previous blog post. There is a possibility that the amount of development and testing needed to resolve these flaws in the 32 bit version may be much larger than the benefit they would provide. Use-After-Free flaws are usually given Important or Critical severity ratings since such flaws generally require little to no user intervention for them to take place. If zero day exploits begin to appear, Microsoft may be forced to reverse this decision.
- MemoryProtect has led to a significant decrease of IE case submissions
Presumably case submissions refers to the number of Use-After-Free and other memory corruption flaws being submitted to Microsoft for analysis. Again while I acknowledge this is the case and that no mitigation/defence is perfect; when known security issues are presented to you and can impact a very large number of users you should still try to either reduce the risk further or (if possible) eliminate these issues completely (by in this instance, patching them).
Aside: What is a Use-After-Free vulnerability?
As a web browser downloads and processes the web page that you have requested to view, it stores the results in memory (the Random Access Memory (RAM) of your PC). When you close a tab of your browser, your browser will mark the memory in which that webpage was stored as free (for further use at a later time).
However where the browser marks memory that it has finished using as free but then tries to use it again (either unintentionally via a software bug resulting from human error or maliciously via a piece of malware), malicious code can be placed by an attacker within that section of memory marked as free and when the browser accesses that section again, it can execute that code. Such exploits are discussed in more detail in this Cisco blog post.
Further alternative definitions of a use-after-free issue are also available:
Red Hat (in reference to a recent Linux kernel vulnerability)
Perception Point: exploiting a use-after-free on a Linux system
Microsoft (also details use-after-free mitigations built into Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer).
Some may feel that I have been unduly harsh on Microsoft in the above comments. I do believe that not all of the information as to why these issues are not going to be patched has been provided. I also believe that Microsoft should at least consider implementing the suggestions within pages 19 to 21 of this white paper to make exploitation of these issues more difficult.
One interesting point that is raised in the HP blog post is the following "Since Microsoft feels these issues do not impact a default configuration of IE (thus affecting a large number of customers)." That comment makes more sense (especially if such non-default configurations are not recommended) but no detail is provided as to what settings make IE vulnerable to these flaws (and thus you can't make the necessary changes to your configuration to mitigate these flaws). It will be interesting if any more information can be obtained concerning this non-default configuration.
What Can I Do To Defend Myself From These Unpatched Issues?
- A suggestion that does not cost any funds and is easy to implement would be to use another web browser (Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Google Chrome being the most popular choices).
- If you are using a 64 bit version of Windows (you can view this page to check which version you have), use the 64 bit version of IE instead of the 32 bit version. This post explains how while this post also provides steps to enable all IE's processes to be 64 bit rather 32 bit. If you find an add-on that you use frequently does not work with the 64 bit version of IE, simply reverse the steps in the above tutorials temporarily. Alternatively navigate to the folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer and double click iexplore.exe to open the 32 bit version of IE.
- Install and enable the default settings of Microsoft EMET. On my personal PCs which use Windows 8.1 64 bit and Windows 7 64 bit I have all mitigations for IE 11 64 bit enabled (please note that I have ActiveX filtering enabled and thus no add-ons are running within IE on my PCs). The same settings should work for IE 32 bit. A list of known EMET application incompatibilities is available here. You can also ask questions within the EMET forum. The following are very useful tutorials on EMET 5 and EMET 4 (still relevant).
- When Windows 10 is released consider using Microsoft Edge since it incorporates additional defences against Use-After-Free flaws and will always be a 64 bit process on a 64 bit version of Windows 10.
The recommendation of using EMET will not only protect against these unpatched flaws but also make exploitation of known flaws much harder. Alternatives to EMET are Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit (free or paid for versions) and HitmanPro.Alert (paid for product).
I hope the above information is useful in defending against these unpatched flaws. When I first read the blog post from HP I initially thought that the 32 bit version of IE was being ignored but the information stating that these issues only affect non-default configurations of 32 bit IE makes these issues much less serious. If any further information on these flaws become available, I will update this blog post.
Thank you.

When it comes to the conventional wisdom of who owns the bulk of corporate stock in the US equity market, the consensus is simple: at 36% of total, the answer is the US household. This is shown in the chart below.
As an aside we disagree from this simplistic analysis because as is well known, the "Household" category, which is pulled from the Fed's quarterly Flow of Funds report, is merely a placeholder plug, designed to balance out all the other member categories. What is less known is that entities such as hedge funds use extensive "off the books" leverage (just ask Citadel and its nearly 9x regulatory leverage) to hold far more equities than their capital allows them. Which means that in reality the US household owns far less stock than is believed.
But even if one takes the Fed's data at face value, what becomes clear is that having owned virtually the entire stock market in 1945, households are now down to nearly their lowest fractional ownership in history, with the rest alloted to mutual, pension and retirement funds.
And it is only going to get worse.
According to a recent analysis by Goldman, in 2014 the US household is on track to withdraw a whopping $430 billion from US corporate stocks. i.e., sell. This will be the biggest net outflow by the Household group, which has constantly withdrawn cash from equities over the past decade, since the last market peak.
It is understandable why: with baby boomers retiring in droves, and with interest income non-existent, investors are forced to liquidate positions in order to generate, well, liquidity.
Perhaps a more disturbing question is why is the household outflow not bigger? After all it surpassed $1 trillion during the last market peak. Could it be because households just don't have all that much equity left in a market which is now dominated by a mere tiny fraction of the entire US population?
But the biggest question is with household pulling cash out, who will provide the offsetting inflow into stocks? The answer: corporations of course - the same entity that injected a record $500 billion in stocks in the form of buybacks is set for another bumper year of net inflows, and according to Goldman companies are on par to match their 2013 buyback activity by buying back some $450 billion of their own stock in the coming year.
This also expains why for one more year, there will be no capex rise - quite simply in order to maintain the illusion of the stock market ponzi, corporations have to keep buying back ever greater amounts of their own stock in order to keep reducing the denominator in the EPS fraction and perpetuate the myth that Net Income is growing when in reality only the number of outsanding shares is declining. So for all those hoping for that so long overdue CapEx bounce, may we interest you in some 1000+ forward PE multiple stocks.
After all in a ponzi which has already likely passed its Minsky moment, the only "trade" that works is to bet on the greatest fool of all, the Fed.

Chrissy Teigen celebrated her 32nd birthday on November 30, 2017, with a retro, Pan-Am-themed party and many celebrities attended the bash. Fresh off announcing her second pregnancy with husband John Legend, her friends came to celebrate the joyous news as well as her birthday Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West were some of the celebrity guests. On Nov. 1, 2017, Teigen announced her pregnancy news in the most adorable way possible. The couple's daughter Lunappearedad in an Instagram video and when Chrissy asked her what was in her mom's tummy, Luna answered, "Baby!" the Internet went wild. Many on social media networks shared birthday messages and greetings to Teigen.
Fans got an inside view of the glamorous party as Kim Kardashian West shared an Instagram story from her arrival to the sixties-based, Pan Am Themed party.
Not only did the Instagram story give a fabulous view of the festivities, but it also put an end to rumors that Kim Kardashian-West and Kanye West are on the brink of divorce and can't bear to spend time with each other.
Kim and Kanye can be seen in the Instagram story celebrating together and enjoying the party.
There's no question that Chrissy Teigen not only knows how to throw an extraordinary party, but she is the ultimate party host.
your Tweet was quoted by @people https://t.co/8JgCs2cixO
— Recite News (@ReciteNews) December 1, 2017
The Lip Sync Battle host looked amazing as she greeted her guests. She addressed the attendees as follows.
"Welcome to Chrissy's Pan Am flight! We don't know where we're going, we don't know what we're doing but we don't care. Thank you all for dressing up, I felt like an a—– for making you guys do this."
Chrissy and the guests wore 60's vintage outfits that were perfect for the Pan-Am theme. Resembling stewardesses, Teigen brought Jackie Kennedy glam to her hosting duties.
Kim Kardashian dazzled in a pale pink vintage Chanel suit and the men also dressed the part.
In Kim's arrival video, you can see the party was held in a faux airport that looked as if the guests had entered a time warp and really traveled back in time. Kris Jenner could be seen with her boarding pass.
What do you think of Chrissy Teigen's birthday party? Does it look like the best party of the year?

The Hole in Our Gospel
By Richard Stearns
Is our faith just about going to church, studying the Bible and avoiding the most serious sins—or does God expect more?
Have we embraced the whole gospel or a gospel with a hole in it?
Ten years ago, Rich Stearns came face-to-face with that question as he sat in a mud hut in Rakai, Uganda, listening to the heartbreaking story of an orphaned child. Stearns' journey there took much more than a long flight to Africa. It took answering God's call on his life, a call that tore him out of his corner office at one of America's most prestigious corporations—to walk with the poorest of the poor in our world.
The Hole in Our Gospel is the compelling true story of a corporate CEO who setaside worldly success for something far more significant, and discovered the full power of the gospel of Jesus Christ to change his own life. He uses his journey to demonstrate how the gospel—the whole gospel—was always meant to be a world changing social revolution, a revolution that begins with us.
The Hole in Our Gospel was the recipient of the ECPA 2010 Christian Book of the Year Award. Richard Stearns has served as president of World Vision U.S. since 1998, having formerly been the CEO of Parker Bros. Games and Lenox, Inc. He and his wife, Reneé, have five children of their own and millions more around the world.

Six Gold Stocks With Dividends [Must See]
The knock on gold for years has been that it's not an investment, that it doesn't produce revenue, pay you interest or dividends. Famed investor, Warren Buffett has been quoted in the past as saying: "It doesn't do anything but sit there and look at you." However, there is a way for investors to gain exposure to the gold market and still generate a yield. Now, it won't come from buying physical gold bullion or trading gold futures contracts. You can receive income from gold and still benefit off its potential rise by buying gold stocks that offer a dividend. The beauty behind investing in gold companies that offer dividends is that they tend to be financially stable. Investors can use those proceeds from the dividend to either pay themselves orContinue reading
How To Invest In Gold
Since 2001, the price of gold has moved from $265 an ounce to over $1,300 in 2017. That's a cumulative return of over 390%. Gold has been recognized as a currency for thousands of years. It has a universally recognized value, viewed as a hedge against inflation, and adds diversification to a portfolio consisting of stocks and bonds. However, at these current prices buying physical gold is out of the question for small investors. Also, if you do decide to amass a large portfolio of gold bullion and coins security and storage become a concern. Trading futures is also not really an option for small investors because it requires active monitoring and high maintenance margin requirements. Investing in stocks that gave you exposure to gold is faster, easier, and potentiallyContinue reading
Best Silver Stocks To Buy
Investors are interested in silver for many reasons, whether it's a hedge against inflation, flight to safety, or even speculative purposes. Now, there are several ways someone can gain exposure to the silver market. However, if you want something that is hassle free, then buying silver stocks is the way to go. Investing in silver companies is easier and more convenient than buying physical silver or trading silver futures. Physical silver can have high transaction and storage costs. On the other hand, silver futures contracts require active management. Huge volatility spikes could lead to receiving a margin call. In order to trade futures in silver, your account must maintain a certain margin level requirement. In 2013, there was a day when silver futures declined approximately 11%, a move large enoughContinue reading
Gold Stocks To Buy: Read This Before First
Investing in gold stocks adds diversification to a portfolio. Historically, gold has had a negative correlation to equities. It's also viewed as a hedge against inflation and a flight to safety investment. Why should you buy gold stocks instead of owning the physical metal? Gold bugs will argue that if you don't have gold your hand you don't own it. However, there are several downsides to owning gold. First, its expensive. Spot gold closed above $1,300 an ounce in 2017. When you buy physical gold, there is an additional premium added to the spot price. A 1 ounce American Gold Bullion Coin goes for $50-$70 above the spot price. In smaller gold bullion increments the premium is even higher. This makes investing in gold bullion extremely challenging for those whoContinue reading
What Best Gold Stocks Have In Common
Investing in gold via the stock market is relatively simple and straightforward. Unlike buying physical gold, security and storage are not a concern when buying the best gold stocks. In fact, some of the top gold stocks even outperform physical gold. You see, gold mining companies that operate efficiently are able to produce gold at significantly lower prices than spot gold. Since their operating expenses are rather stable, a spike in the price of gold should mean greater profits for the gold mining producer because they're able to sell gold at a better price. As an investor you have several choices when it comes to gaining exposure to gold via the stock market. That said, many of the best gold stocks have similar characteristics and goals. What The Best GoldContinue reading
Gold Penny Stocks: Everything You Need To Know
Gold penny stocks are gold companies that trade under $5 per share and have a small market capitalization. These companies trade on stock exchanges like the Nasdaq (NASD) and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Some companies that don't meet the listing qualifications for NASD or NYSE trade on the Pink Sheets or FINRA's OTC Bulletin Board. To trade on the NASD or NYSE firms must adhere to certain financial, accounting, compliance and regulatory requirements. Some that don't meet those requirements trade on the OTC Markets. However, the best gold penny stocks release financial disclosures and other important information that investors can rely on to make decisions. Trading gold penny stocks is risky because many of these companies are in a developmental stage. They are not generating income from the productionContinue reading
Top Junior Gold Stocks Today
Gold mining companies are generally categorized in two groups. Senior and junior miners. A senior mining gold company has an established revenue stream from producing gold. The company may even have a strong enough balance sheet where it's able to distribute a dividend to its investors. These gold stocks are in the process of growing reserves and increasing production. A junior mining company is one that generates a small or no revenue from the production of gold. The focus for them is exploring and trying to find deposits of gold. They may own rights to a property but have yet to mine and produce gold at the location. Junior miners are considered risky investments because their valuation is based on the potential and not necessarily revenue. Since revenues are low,Continue reading
How To Invest In Silver
How To Invest In Silver Investors look to precious metals typically as a store of value. Investors have been buying precious metals for years as a hedge against currency exposure, and other interest rate sensitive instruments. Still others invest in precious metals for speculative purposes. The focus here is on silver, and describing silver investments and why some investors choose this precious metal over gold. Silver is used produce industrial goods and equipment, and once was used U.S. currency. This might seem obvious as first, but it holds a deeper meaning. Silver has value- it can be used in day-to-day activities, whereas gold is used primarily in jewelry, or other high class décor. With this notion in mind, we'll look at how you can gain exposure to silver via theContinue reading
Best Silver Stocks
Investors today can seek to express ideas on the silver market through a number of different channels. One way used includes buying physical silver such as coins or bars. The futures market also offers liquid options for investors to take part in the movement of silver prices. Alternatively, investors look to buy and sell silver stocks for various reasons, most noticeably risk mitigation, ease of execution, and ability to track silver prices over the long term. Buying physical silver requires additional labor such as a transaction cost or matching counterparties. On the other hand, silver futures trading requires active management, as contracts are only valid until a certain date. These, among other reasons, are why many investors and traders are looking to silver stock as a way to profit fromContinue reading
These Are The Best Gold ETF To Buy
Gaining exposure to the gold market has never been easier. Investors are left with a bevy of choices. You can invest in: gold mining stocks, gold bullion and coins, and gold futures contracts. However, the easiest and most convenient way to gain access to the gold market is through Gold ETFs. An ETF or exchange traded fund has similarities to a managed futures fund as well as security that trades on the stock market. You see, an ETF trades just like a stock. But they are not companies, instead they invest in the underlying asset, just like a managed futures fund would do. Gold ETFs have lower fees than managed futures and don't have to go under the same type of regulatory scrutiny as mutual funds do. Gold ETFs investContinue reading

Six Flags Fright Fest Aptly NamedPosted in Business, Motivational, Relationships
Six Flags will never be the same. 9 teenagers violently beat a couple in their 50's and their 12 year old son. The teens cut into line and were cursing. When the parents asked the teens to stop cursing, they sucker punched their 12 year old son. When the parents tried to intervene, they were beaten severely by the gang of kids. All 3 of them ended up in the hospital.
Wow. What is going on in our society? How does something like this take place? How is it that these kids have come to the point that they think this is cool, fun, or OK on any level to beat someone senseless? Where is their conscience? Where is their remorse?
I am angry about it, but I am also grieving. Where are the parents of these kids? Where was the security at Six Flags? Why is there such a blatant disregard for human life these days? Why are so many people filled with rage and ready to unleash at the slightest provocation?
Evil has no reason, no conscience, and no regrets. Evil takes. It never gives. Evil seduces people into thinking that there will be no consequences. Unfortunately, those who are seduced will have a severe wake up call. They will either end up in prison or in the morgue if they don't change. That is the part that grieves me. Number one, I don't want to see anyone getting hurt. Number two, I love kids and I hate to see them following the wrong people and jumping off the cliff to oblivion….taking countless lives with them.
Here is what I personally would like to see:
- Parents start acting like parents and quit letting their kids run crazy. I realize that some parents are trying and some kids are going to rebel no matter what, but I am talking about the countless kids that have absentee fathers, no discipline, and nobody holding them accountable until it is too late. Parents need to step up and start parenting.
- We need to have proper security at public events…even Six Flags. If this can happen at Six Flags, don't think it can't happen in your community at some local event. Proper security would have deterred those thugs from mauling that family.
- There have to be consequences for criminal behavior. The 18 year old perpetrator was the only one pictured because the others were under 18 and considered juvenile. There has to come a point where we hold kids accountable for crimes, regardless of how old they are. I realize this is very complicated, but how do kids get away with beating a family senseless just because they are juveniles? I know they will go to some type of detention center, but when will we wake up and realize that what we are doing is not working? Most people in prison have rap sheets that are long…indicating that they are repeat offenders. It starts early, and left unchecked it will last a lifetime.
Please don't take this blog as a slam against kids, blacks, or any other broad tag you might want to attach. It is a plea for us to change. We have to learn to recognize the problems with kids early on and help them get on the right path. They have to see that there are consequences by experiencing them. You can't just talk about it. Talk is cheap and it has no teeth.
I love kids, but I am deeply concerned that if we don't change what we are doing, we will lose much of the next generation to evil, and then we all have a price to pay.

Sometimes we forget that we change. We forget our own growth. We change and grow and forget to tell ourselves. We become more of who we are, we let go of who we're not, we become believers of (fill in the blank), or non-believers of (fill it in), we rise, we fall, we transform, and we CHANGE!
This became quite apparent to me recently when I perused an old journal. I was so astounded I began looking through other past journals…and lo and behold! I've CHANGED!!
Here's a peek at some of my changes:
- I believed that I had to stand up for my rights. Now I know that I just have to own them and there will be nothing to stand up against.
- I once thought that women who stayed home with their children were not liberated. Thank goodness I let go of this one. I now believe with all my heart that to be able to stay home with a child (if it's your passion to do so) is a gift and doesn't make you less of…anything!
- I remember after going through a self-help course I thought everyone should know about it, because it was the WAY! Whew…I'm glad that no one took so much offence that they let me have it! These days I know there are many WAYS!
- I use to think that looking perfect was cool, now I get that cool is when your being YOURSELF!
- There was a time when I thought it was my duty to tell someone the truth about them. I'm deeply grateful and much relieved that now I understand that if someone doesn't ask or if they're not paying me to tell them, then it's not my business.
- During my earlier years I wanted to succeed to prove; my life now, I want to succeed to be of service.
- I abhorred writing – anything, everything…in my present life…I actually own writing books and jumped in glee when receiving a gift subscription to Writer's Digest.
- I couldn't stand mushrooms, boy do I love them now!
- Eating healthy…well in my mind that meant not buying fast food. Today I make protein drinks, eat mostly vegetarian meals, and even take vitamins (okay so I still have fast food every once in awhile).
- I believed angels were mystical figures. Today I converse with them.
- I use to feel so lost when someone I loved passed (moved into light and love) because I believed the love was gone. I now know the love never leaves…so grateful for this new belief especially since my Mother made her transition in Jan.
Compared to the old me the new me is much softer, more compassionate, less judgmental, more intuitive, more accepting, and so much more peaceful…perfect I'm not, (at least not in personality) but boy do I breathe easier, and my day to day life…just keeps getting better.
What's the new you like compared to the old you?
It's important to recognize and give credit to our growth. We are transforming all the time.
How are you different today than you were yesterday? Write it down and give validity to who you are now compared to who you were.
I would love to hear from you.
Please share one or more of the ways you have grown in the comments section.
Thank you for reading my posts. I appreciate you.
In loving gratitude,

In the first article you were asked to attend a hypotical board meeting for a presentation on the DNA requirements for Frequently Used Sires. Today's special meeting includes three DNA topics. It begins at 7:30AM, so you briefly visit Juan Valdez en route then you settle in and listen as the chairman announces the subjects: Who owns your dog's DNA, the AKC registration of DNA-tested carriers and multiple-sired litters.
The speaker - who is called "Linda", begins by handing out an article about the human genome that appeared in the March 10th, 2000, issue of the Washington Post (page A24) entitled "Who should own Your Genes?" There is a strong public interest in keeping the genome as freely accessible as possible, not only because it is an unparalleled scientific resource but because, as the underpinning of human life, it belongs, in a certain sense, to humanity. More pragmatically, it belongs to the public because public funds have been the foundation of the genome mapping effort.
The article, in part, says, "Last year, after much outcry, the patent office issued revised guidelines-- open for public comment until March 22 -- that require a somewhat more specific showing of utility. The patent office should tighten its rules on the genome to the point where the vast majority of the basic sequence will end up in the public, not private, hands. If that proves impossible under current law, Congress should carve an exception in the patent law to recognize the public's unique claim on the genome. And companies that already have gene patents should be obliged -- by Congress if necessary -- to make them available on reasonable licensing terms to researchers and doctors".
Linda tells the group that ownership and use of DNA are different topics. You learn that 4,000 human genes out of an estimated 140,000 have already been patented. She tells the group that when historians look back at the twentieth century, they will probably view it as having been dominated by macro events that affected large numbers of people such as World War I, the Great Depression of the 1930's, World War II and decades of the Cold War ending with the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union. She goes on to say that unfortunately little attention was given too perhaps the greatest event, the biotechnology revolution. It has already affected the largest group possible, the entire public and most of their pets. It is interesting to note how little the public/breeders know about it or how this new research is being used to affect their futures. You learn, for example, that DNA material is routinely taken from individuals and animals during surgery without their knowledge or consent for some later use. You learn about the remarkable advances made in using mouth saliva, which originally was limited to testing only parentage verification. Dr. Houge at VetGen and Dr. Brewer at the University of Michigan have found a way to use DNA mouth swabs in testing for genetic hip dysplasia in German Shepherds. With the thousands of DNA mouth swabs already in storage this research may get a boost.
The famous trial lawyer called "Barry" reminds the group that the courts, by a slim margin of five to four have already set the stage for the privatization of genes. You learn that the court ruled in favor of Chakrabarty granting him a patent on the first genetically engineered life form. Andrew Chakrabarty was an employee of the GE Corporation who had applied for a patent on a genetically engineered microorganism to consume oil spills on the ocean. Chief Justice William Burger argued that "the reverent consideration was not between living and inanimate things", but whether Chakrabarty's microbe was "human-made invention". On October 14, 1980, a few months after the Supreme Court cleared the way for the commercial use of life, Genentech offered one million shares of stock for sale and by the end of the trading day had raised $36 million. That led the way for the pharmaceutical, agribusiness and biotech companies to understand the profound implications afforded them by the law. Today the US patent office has granted patents on several species of mammals. A genetically engineered mouse containing human genes which predisposed it to developing cancer was the first. This so-called "onco-mouse" was the "invention" of a Harvard biologist, Philip Leder. It was sold to the DuPont Corporation as a "research model" for studying cancer. By the end of 1999, hundreds of animals had been patented including pigs, cows and sheep, along with the DNA markers used for parentage testing in canines.
Barry tells the board that in 1999, the AKC board announced its ownership of the DNA samples collected for the purpose of parentage testing. In May, one delegate thought the board may have gone too far and questioned its ownership policy. He suggested that permission of the owner " would be required should there be any other request for any other use of the archival samples''. The AKC studied the question and agreed that the DNA samples collected for their programs should remain the property of the owner.
Closely related to this topic is the question of DNA samples used by research organizations for disease testing. According to the researchers, DNA collections are treated as gifts meaning that researchers are free to develop genetic markers, patent and sell them without the owner's involvement. The breeders who provided the DNA from their dogs along with some of the money which was used to fund the research are considered donors, which means their "gifts" are the property of the organization that received them. Hence, the scientist who discovers a marker for a disease has the right to sell it to a private-for-profit laboratory. Neither the breeder nor his club has rights to the discovery nor are they entitled to share in the royalties. Someone in the meeting asks about fairness mentioning that most DNA health tests cost upwards of $120 each, which makes testing litters and breeding stock a costly venture.
You notice some notes on the black board. It's an example of the costs related to breeding and testing a litter of four pups for one disease.
Stud fee $ 500
Required AKC DNA certification (FUS) $ 40
DNA litter for one disease (4 puppies) $ 480
Litter Registration $ 10
The group listens to another method that is suggested to control a dreaded eye disease. It is the suggested that each studbook (AKC, UKC, CKC etc) begin by encouraging member clubs to add language to their Codes of Ethics that require DNA testing and that non-signers be excluded from holding office or serving on committees. Someone mentions that when Codes of Ethics have used discipline for non-compliance they tended to polarize memberships and their attempts to achieve compliance usually failed. The group is not convinced that this kind of mandatory participation would work in breeding dogs because no one has offered any data to show that the honest breeders should be forced to pay the high cost of DNA fees to prove their honesty.
After the morning break Linda suggests another way to mandate DNA participation. She offers two ideas taken from page 10 of the recent Purina publication, "Today's Breeder", where Dr. George Padgett suggests that the first step be to require the " registration of dogs and bitches affected with genetic defects and those known to carry genes for these traits". Padgett's second recommendation is to "register those dogs and bitches known to be free of genes for undesirable traits". Some of this data is already being collected and stored in a health database so it would be possible to implement his suggestions. Whether the AKC would accept either of these two recommendations and make health testing another mandatory program of registration has not yet been determined.
Health testing as a condition of registration has some tough built in problems. If a laboratory report shows that in a litter of four, there were three carriers and one normal, only one pup would be registerable. The two carriers would be denied registration even though they are purebred and perhaps good candidates for the show ring. If the normal pup were mediocre or of poor quality the breeder would have a pet and would probably start over. More breedings might occur in order to find a DNA-normal pup with sufficient quality to be saved. What would be done with the surplus of unhealthy pups and those who were carriers? Would they be sold as pets? Someone suggests that AKC registrations could be based on the percentage of normals in each litter. At first the percentage could be low, then increased later as the breed shows improvement. This would require lots of record keeping and each breeder would be forced to disclose the test results for each litter. The group learns that the delegate body would probably want input from all of the parent clubs since this would change the rules of AKC registration. The other side of the question is asked which focuses on the data that is available to support the use of mandatory DNA testing. She asks if the purebred dogs are so unhealthy that mandatory health testing is needed to save breeds? Or, are so many breeders cheating that no one can trust their pedigrees? Linda points out that no one has offered any data to support why DNA testing should be mandatory even though new programs have already begun.
You learn that mandatory health testing, as a condition of AKC registration, is not without its problems. The breeders who produce over 65% of all the pups born only breed one litter a year and most of them are not active in the sport. Finding them to provide the necessary information about mandatory testing would probably be difficult now that Americans are becoming more mobile. We know that most do not leave forwarding addresses with the AKC.
You sit there in bewilderment and wonder why DNA should be a mandatory requirement at all given the cost of each test. You also wonder why it seems to be so appealing when no studies and no data have been presented to justify-wide spread mandatory requirements at the expense of AKC registrations. It is remarkable that all of the suggestions for these mandatory requirements come with no facts and no data to support them. Someone asks if we have become a slave to this new technology?
Linda changes the subject by writing "Multiple Sired Litters"on the black board. She reads from a report by the AKC Delegate Health Committee that recommends the registration of a litter even if more than one sire was involved as long as DNA was used to test and prove parentage. She mentions that there are three reasons to allow multiple sired litters. The first is to help breeders with their breeding program, which will result in fewer breedings. Second, it will benefit those with aging bitches whose breeding life is limited and third, DNA can be used to identify the correct sire in an accidental breeding. Many times bitches are campaigned until they are 5-6 years of age leaving time for only one or two litters. A litter from two sires would reduce the number of breedings. Those who own small breeds that average 1-2 puppy litters would especially benefit from it. They would not miss the opportunity to get a pup from two outstanding sires. The speaker mentions that there are several built-in barriers and limitations. For example, the window of time to breed a bitch is very short and most of the better sires usually live in distant cities from where the bitches are. Two airfares, two or more stud fees and a lot of coordination would discourage most. Frozen and chilled semen would add even more costs to the process. In the spring of 2000, the AKC approved the use of multiple sired litters but the cost was not cheap. The dam, each sire and all of the pups must have DNA ($40 each) on file and the breeder must also pay a $200.00 processing fee. Some quick math brings even a small litter to about $400.00 and then it goes up from there. When abuse is suspected the AKC inspections program could be used to investigate.
You learn from this briefing that most breeders were unaware of the DNA changes already in place. Hardly any one could explain how these changes would affect them in the future. A raise of hands confirms that most were unaware of any future plans being made for DNA, confidentiality, safe guards for its storage, test costs, royalties, or the mandatory test requirements already in place.
The meeting ends as quickly as it started. You are asked to think about how would you vote on these issues? Yes, No, or would you ask for a delay until you have more facts, more answers and time to think? Someone asks that the vote be delayed. The speaker says, "have we considered any of the alternatives to mandatory DNA"? Someone else says "why not simply work to make it popular by making it cheap enough for breeders to DNNA their whole litter. Then they could be sold as DNA-certified pups with certified pedigrees." Everyone agrees with the idea. Another asks for a copy of the reports and the data used to support the new programs and the new proposals. None are provided. You wonder why?
The next article, called Part III will focus on the biotech future, what the scientists are planning, embryo transplants and clones.

The indie film season is almost upon us.
August occupies the entertainment realm betwixt the summer blockbusters and the holiday shopping season flicks. Its also time to track down those indie gems that often pass us by like an asteroid occultation in the night.
One such film that weve been anticipating is Europa Report. Directed by Sebastián Cordero and starring Sharlto Copley and Embeth Davidtz, the film is already generating a buzz, drawing comparisons to Stanley Kubricks 2001: A Space Odyssey and 2009 indie flick Moon. [Read more...]

I have MyTracks and RunKeeper on my phone (not that I really ever use them), both of which can be used to keep track of what you do when you exercise. I have used MyTracks for a few walks, but the problem is more me and my lack of scheduled walks than anything with those tools. I can credit MyTracks with telling me that the walk from the bus stop to my building is 0.31 miles.
The coolest thing I've used so far is called Smart Alarm Clock. Key to this is the Android phone's capability to sense motion. If you tell it to wake up at 6am, it starts trying to sense you moving around, which you do more in REM sleep, which is not when you want to wake up. When it senses you being more still, that is when you are sleeping the lightest, which is the best time to wake you up. It really is like magic.
The weight tracker is somewhat inspired by the Hacker Diet, which I have not fully read.

For sometime, the drain in the bathroom sink had been running slowly....I had tried drain cleaner and short snake, was thinking that I'd pull the trap off some time and take a look.
The toilet has always been a problem, but I suspect that's because the fill valve is leaking....never seem to get around to disabling the only toilet in my home to try fixing it myself. Perhaps some day I will.
But, then I noticed that the shower doesn't drain as well as it used to. Was thinking that I might get some drain cleaner on the weekend, and see if that helps. I had snaked it myself once years ago, that had helped a lot. Not sure where that longer snake has gone too now....
But, came home from dentist this morning to find that shower hadn't drained from this morning yet. And, for sometime I had thought I had heard water noises, but wasn't able to find the source. Still can't. Seems bathroom is on a different drain than the kitchen/washer...so maybe its time I got a plumber in to go long through drain.
It has been almost 3 years since I had the plumber in to snake the kitchen drain, that was worse though, because water was backing up and flowing on the floor. Though is was partly because the drain line for the dishwasher hadn't been put it right to prevent backflow. He borrowed some of my cable ties and fixed that while he was there. Hopefully this time around things won't be as expensive....last time being a Sunday when it had happened.
Meanwhile....for sometime I had noticed the doorbell was being kind of annoying. People seemed able to get it to ring when they used it, but the light had gone out...so I had assumed they couldn't see it at night, so weren't always using it then. I had intended to see about replacing the light earlier this year, but then I saw that the light was working again. So, I forgot all about it.
But, then last night I got a delivery from Dominos. I happened to walk past my front door, wondering why the delivery hadn't shown up yet and heard some rustling. After a moment, I peeked to see what was out there...and there was the delivery guy just standing there?
After he left, I checked my doorbell. It didn't ring. I noticed that the vinyl siding flexed under the doorbell, so I worked the button a bit...and got it to light, but still no ring. Guess a wire is loose. I'll look at it in the afternoon after my dentist appointment.
So, now that I've had my dentist appointment...and after having called the plumber...for a probably Thursday call. I went to tackle the doorbell.
I unscrewed it from the siding and saw that one of the wires had broken off and was only making intermittent contact. I guess if you push it the right way instead of making the light work, it would make the doorbell ring. Its a pretty tight run of cable and its solid wire...and it felt old, probably original to the building from the 60's (the wire, the button was probably new when the building was renovated around 2005.) Plus one of the wires went around screw the wrong way....which makes me guess who might have done that work.
I exposed some new wire....hooked it round right and attached it. While I was doing that, the other wire popped off (the one that went the wrong way...I was thinking that after I was done, I would check the other screw for tightness.) Well, I tried to bend the wire the other way, and it broke off...it was about to break off at the flex point at the screw. So, I exposed some new wire and hooked that on.
Hmmm, can't tell if the light is working now....guess we'll find out later.

I have read both of Lance Armstrong's Books, It's Not About the Bike and Every Second Counts. They are both good reads and the second was actually given to me by a coworker, an autographed copy. Now that I'm learning a little more about cycling a couple of non cyclist have teased about the fact that It's Not About the Bike has a whole lot of information about his bike. Well let me say that as I learn a few ounces of the tonnage of material to learn about light weight bicycles… he could've put in a lot more info. Anyway, I have started cycling now regularly and this week for the first time in my life, between running and cycling I covered more miles exercising than I did driving. After all, if you don't watch your figure no one else will.
I'm a decent runner but it's definitely different muscles from cycling (though Kiana points out when she rides her bike that neither of them make her as tired or as sweaty as they make me). I've gone on two group rides, one was 35 miles (I rode to and from and made it 47) and one was 30 with guys from Mellow Johnny's whose easy ride I had a hard time keeping up with. I am not sure what's considered a short or a long ride since even my short ride are longer than my long runs. I still haven't been able to learn to "draft" cause I'm just afraid to be that close, mostly from lack of confidence at this point. Chris Brewer from Livestrong has taught me some stuff but he's also told me some things about the cycling community which are all turning out incredibly accurate. They have some great jerseys, some serious looking and some more fun looking. He has a great Scottish looking one, I met a guy from my home state who had a great Mexican looking one, and today on my workout I passed a heavy set guy who was wearing a Michelin tire one who said he wears "so it's obvious that I like my extra tires". Cyclists apparently are more prone to tattoos so the one change I decided to do after the surgery, get a tattoo after the follow up apparently prepared me but I need to get some more (just kidding mom). There is a lot more intelligence required than running. How you're supposed to properly pedal is more learned. Shifting gears is interesting and apparently I had shifted into the wrong gear between the two front ones and was doing something nicknamed stomping grapes using my running muscles instead of the correct ones. I should instead be focusing on RPM's (which after pretending like I knew what it was for a few moments was finally told it's repetitions per minutes). Speed work outs are more fun and also more frightening because I am moving at my fastest twice as fast I run and at my slowest, faster than I run. I have heard both about how Austin is great for cycling and then hear about how a guy just got killed on a common route. I am using my garmin running watch but have now learned to compute it into minutes per mile because I did a 3:12 mile sounds dorky to true cyclists. But again, the kindness of humanity and of networks continue to amaze me. The first time Chris took me cycling he said that cyclists always watch out for each other and if they see one they offer help. I'd never needed help before today and when riding with others I've seen them offer (I've yet to do have the opportunity it but am nervous because I'm not sure what a guy this ignorant will be able to offer).
But tonight, I had another commitment so I didn't have enough daylight to spare to ride the 50 miles I'd planned so I just wanted to get as much as I could of cycling and as is my style pushed sunset while doing as many loops on something called the Velloway, a 5k loop in Austin only open to wheels. I talked to a couple of guys and did a lap with them and they were guys who had cycled for a while and were surprised I'd only been doing it a couple of weeks. Like every other cyclist who has looked at the Trek bike Mellow Johnny's lent me, they were impressed and commented on how it's from this series with these type of tubes and wheels and I just smile and nod. Then on the 3 miles home, I got my first flat tire. I had gotten the tire off and was putting the other one but only a moment later, the guys I'd met tonight and done less than 3 miles with stopped and helped me and then I got back home no worse for the wear. We traded stories and it turned out that he had a family member die of brain cancer and we talked about Livestrong and their events. We traded numbers and hope to do some cycling together while I still have this bike. But again, someone who an hour before had been a complete stranger stopped to make sure I was going to fix a bike and get home okay (lots of other cars passed by). Anyone who doubts humanity or community can't possibly be part of one like the cycling, running, church, ultimate, neighborhood or family ones that I've gotten to be part of. I've been amused as I learn some of the cycling information at the phrase, "It's like riding a bicycle" because doing it decently is not exactly something I can forget because I never knew it. In a few weeks, I'll ride the century I hope and the bike will go back to its owner but I hope being part of communities is definitely something I never forget how to do.

KRISHNAMURTI FOUNDATION – Education and Poetry
Program description
Anyone who loves poetry is welcome to participate in this weekend….it is not a professional development workshop for HS English teachers! The backdrop for our explorations will be the questions that Krishnamurti discusses with students, parents and teachers about education, centering on these themes: conditioning, fear, flowering in goodness, vocation, arts of listening, observing, asking, and the mirror of relationship. During the weekend we will immerse in good poems that have the potential to shed the skin of superficiality and invite insight.
We will also look at the transformative power of metaphor juxtaposed to words that intellectually and habitually ensnare LIFE. As Alan Watts said, 'a person can't get wet with the word water.' Reading or writing a poem can transcend language's normal limitations and offer something translucent – like a gentle creek that turns to an overflowing, muddy torrent before one's very eyes. Words (most) often separate and compartmentalize life… yet the words in a poem can inspire a kind of wondering, an awakening of the heart or widening of perspective.
We will read, recite, write, listen and re-listen to poems. Participants are invited to bring one selection of Krishnamurti's poetic prose to share as well as another favorite related to the themes mentioned above. Karen will share poems she has used as catalysts for discussions/activities with parents, teachers or students and will also bring poems written by teens with whom she has had the pleasure to work at Oak Grove School in Ojai, California during the past decade.
Karen Hesli After working in the world of education for five decades (four at Oak Grove School), I realize one doesn't really 'retire' but sifts and sorts through the curriculum of life and shares it in new forms. This is my first attempt to offer a weekend workshop on distilling a lifelong love of poetry and K's educational themes. Other growing passions are grandparenting and gardening.
What to expect
- Opportunity to turn one's attention to educational issues via poetry
- Opportunity for reading and writing poetry, both in a group setting and individually
- Lovely gardens, mountain vistas, quiet retreat-like setting and vegetarian meals
Who is this for
- Open to all, especially suitable for anyone with an interest in education, poetry and a willingness for inner exploration.
