Welcome to my little space on the web,
Incase you were wondering wow, who is this amazing writer... its me your girl KTT.
Usually i answer to such names as Kalleen (pronouced Colleen), Kay, O.C, or as the loves of my lifes call me Keen/Auntie
I grew up in a small town in ontario, you could say I had a complicated life, I perfer the word "Challenging" everyone has their own stories, I have no regrets over mine and I like to think the choices I made made me the wonderful women I am today.
Currently I live in the beautiful city of Calgary,AB. June 2013, I decided enough was enough. I needed a life of my own, I needed to get a life, and get my shit together. In my home town work was slim pickins,I tried for months and months to find a new job, without taking a pay decrease. I had been at the same job for almost 5 years with no desire to grow within the company, and I hated the job so much i eventually dropped to part time then I was able to take stress leave. Which turned out to be the best day, that job was sucking the life out of me I needed an escape.
Sept 2013, was my first day in calgary. To this day the 5 day drive from ontario to alberta was one of the most beautiful things I've seen. It was a bit of a rought start, my first job was doing outbound inquire calls to ask if people were interested in having their furnice ducts cleans. IT WAS THE LONGEST THREE MONTHS OF MY LIFE. I couldnt do it anymore I was just as unhappy as I was at my last job so I quit. Thankfully I was able to get hired on at a dealership as a part time receptionist. That following summer I took vacation and went home for the first time in almost a year. You really truly never know how loved you are or how much you truly love someone until you spend extended time apart.
Eventually I become a full time receptionist, however a few months later I was let go from the job, at the time I was upset however that experince combined with my call center experience lead me to my current job of 10 months. This job is everything i wanted in a job, it allows me to stay in touch with technology, travel the world, and still be in touch with customers. A typical day at the office includes me taking phone calls from some of the most wonderful people ive had to deal with at dealerships who are having an issue with the software (company i work for) usually its a learning expirence and the phone call doesnt last longer then 10 mins. When a dealership purchases our software the company flies a person for each department at the dealership to train them- I'm on the parts team. So far I've been able to travel to Northbay,Ont. Vermilion,AB. Prince Rupert,BC. Next stops include Wallaceburg,ON. Later this year Grande Prairie.AB in November and Lindsay,ON in December.
Life has been a rollercoaster these last 2 years a lot of ups and some downs. And I would love if you browsed around and see what its like to spend a day in the life me,

Vegetables to Grow in Summer
Warm-season vegetables such as tomatoes and string beans are summer favorites to grow in the garden. Summer vegetables require warm soil and high temperatures to prosper and ripen. They need full sun to produce their fruit and are permanently damaged by frost. When vegetable plants are young, be sure to water them on a daily basis, especially during consecutive days of high temperatures.
Fresh, crisp cucumbers are summer favorites. These delicious, warm-season vegetables are grown in many varieties, including small kinds for pickling, slicing cucumbers and even lemon-flavored cukes. Cucumbers are creeping vegetables that can be staked to a trellis to conserve space or allowed to meander around the garden. Vining cucumbers grow to 25 feet in the garden, so make sure there is adequate space. Cucumbers produce an abundance of vegetables on one or two vines and are ideal for canning. Cucumbers require full sun and moderate amount of water to thrive. Fertilize cucumbers every three to four weeks with a liquid, nutrient-rich fertilizer.
There are many varieties of peppers to grow in a summer garden for sweet, hot and spicy flavors. Peppers grow on bushy plants that range up to 4 feet tall. They require full sun and moderate amounts of water to grow. Sweet peppers, such as red bell peppers, remain mild after they ripen and are ideal for salads or stuffing. Other sweet peppers, such as cherry peppers, are ideal for pickling as a topper for dishes and sandwiches. Hot peppers, such as the jalapeño and mariachi, are long in shape with tapered ends. Colors of the mariachi pepper include yellow, red and orange, making for a bright addition to the garden space. After the peppers are established, apply one round of liquid fertilizer to ensure a hardy and healthy crop.
Squash plants produce a plethora of vegetables. They are classified in two categories: summer and winter squash. Summer squash includes zucchini, pattypan and crookneck. These hardy growers require full sun to prosper. Zucchini plants are easy to grow and will produce many vegetables from one or two plants over the growing season. These easy growers also are ideal because their flesh and tiny yellow blossoms can be eaten. Some squash plants are vining and need a large space to mature. For smaller garden spaces, look for bush varieties. Make sure to water the squash regularly but be sure to keep the stems and leaves dry to prevent diseases. Periodically fertilize the squash if soil is not rich and nutrient-laden. Once every two to three weeks is sufficient.
No summer garden is complete without a tomato vine or two. Tomatoes are prolific in growth and produce a wide variety of fruits. They need to be staked immediately after they are planted. Heavier tomatoes, such as slicing tomatoes, need extra support. Great summer slicers are brandywine and early girl. Both are large enough for sandwiches and have juicy flavors and very soft flesh. Brandywine tomatoes grow in red, black and yellow for a festive summer display. Another summer favorite is the cherry tomato. This small delight is grown in red, yellow and orange for a colorful garden addition. Sun gold cherry tomatoes have 1-inch red fruits and hang in small clusters from the vine. They are among the sweetest cherry tomatoes around. Tomato plants require regular watering. Make sure to water heavily every watering session. For rich soils there is no need to fertilize, but in ordinary soils lightly fertilize every two weeks until the end of the season.

We met in Charles Hill's Dockyard, Bristol, where our "Ship" was called TS "Lotus". We went on parade, learned knots and messed about in boats. I spent a never to be forgotten week on the old training ship "Foudroyant" in Portsmouth Harbour, 1956, when I slept in a hammock. The little rowing boat pictured here was purchased with funds the Unit raised through jumble sales and the like.

Claims of Virgin Births in US Near 1 Percent: Study
msn news
December 17, 2013
A study shows that almost 1 percent of women who become pregnant claim they're virgins. The study is titled, "Like a Virgin (Mother)."
Nearly 1 percent of young women in a US study who have become pregnant claim to have done so as virgins, according to a report in the Christmas edition of Britain's BMJ medical journal.
The authors of, "Like a Virgin (Mother)," - whose prose is devoid of irony - say such scientifically impossible claims show researchers must use care in interpreting self-reported behavior. Fallible memory, beliefs and wishes can cause people to err in what they tell scientists.
Based on interviews with 7,870 women and girls ages 15 to 28, 45 of the 5,340 pregnancies in this group through the years - 0.8 percent - occurred in women who reported that they conceived independent of men. The figure does not include pregnancies that result from invitro fertilization or other assisted reproductive technology.
Each year, the BMJ Christmas edition publishes untraditional science papers. In addition to the report on virgin pregnancies, the latest BMJ includes papers on whether there is a local baby boom nine months after home sports teams triumph, (only a small one, but statistically significant), and whether an apple a day would keep the British doctor away, (yes, saving about 8,500 lives in the United Kingdom each year, about as many as would expanding the use of cholesterol-lowering drugs to everyone over 50).
For the study of putative virgin pregnancies, researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill analyzed data from the thousands of teenage girls and young women who took part in the long-running National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health.
The girls were 12 to 18 years old when they entered the study in the 1994-95 school year and were interviewed periodically about their health and behavior over 14 years, including via computer as a way to encourage them to be candid when answering questions about their sexual history.
The 45 women and girls who became pregnant despite, according to what they told interviewers, being virgins at the time of conception, differed in several ways from peers who acknowledged that men had had a role in their procreation.
Of those who said they became pregnant as virgins, 31 percent also said they had signed chastity pledges; 15 percent of nonvirgins who became pregnant said they had signed such pledges, in which a girl vows not to have sex until she marries.
The 45 self-described virgins who reported having become pregnant and the 36 who gave birth were also more likely than nonvirgins to say their parents never or rarely talked to them about sex and birth control.
About 28 percent of the, "virgin," mothers' parents, (who were also interviewed), indicated they didn't have enough knowledge to discuss sex and contraception with their daughters, compared to 5 percent of the parents of girls who became pregnant and said they had had intercourse.
The ostensibly chaste mothers were also less likely to know how to use condoms, according to the report. UNC biostatistician, Amy Herring, and public health expert, Carolyn Halpern, led the group.
The researchers found that although the mothers in question were more likely to have boys than girls, and to be pregnant during the weeks leading up to Christmas, neither similarity to the Virgin Mary was statistically significant.

Two Unusual Cases of Gunshot Wounds of the Uterus
(From the Department of Obstetrics, Harlem Hospital, New York City)
The following two case histories show the diversity of treatment for gunshot wounds of the uterus. Although not revolutionary in treatment, these two cases are presented for their unusual results. Both cases have been authenticated.
Case Reports
CASE 2. -- This case of a seventeen-year-old girl was reported by Captain L. G. Capers after the Civil War. It is remarkable in its unusualness and in the treatment of the gunshot wounds of the uterus which resulted.
While stationed with a regiment on May 12 during the battle of R, his regiment met the advance of the enemy. One mile from the village of R about 100 yards in the rear of the regiment was a fine mansion where a matron and her two daughters and servants were standing about 3:00 P.M. in the afternoon. The battle was raging furiously, and the woman and her two daughters were filled with extreme interest, standing bravely in front of the house, hoping to give some degree of aid to any of the wounded soldiers. Our men were fighting bravely, but pressed by superior forces, they had gradually fallen back to about 100 yards of the house.
Since Captain Capers was stationed with the brigade, he suddenly beheld a gallant young lad stagger and fall to the earth. At the same moment a piercing scream came from the vicinity of the house. The young man was examined and found to have a compound fracture with extensive involvement of the left tibia. The bullet evidently had ricocheted from the left portion of the abdomen and in its upward flight passed through the scrotum, carrying away the left testicle.
The matron came running in the greatest distress, begging Captain Capers to go to the assistance of one of her daughters, who had been badly wounded. A few moments later, after examining the young lady, who was sitting on the steps and groaning severely, the seriousness of the wound was apparent.
The bullet evidently had perforated the girl's abdomen in the left abdominal parietes about midway between the umbilicus and the interior spinal process of the ilium. Evidently the bullet was still in the spinal canal, and the wound itself was very ragged and irregular. Dressings were applied and medication given, and since the Army had first call on Captain Capers' services, he left after prescribing a sedative.
The town was soon left in the hands of the enemy, but several days later the rest of the brigade settle in the village of R, and Captain Capers had the opportunity of treating the young lady for the next few months. It was apparent that she seemed to have recovered from the severe peritonitis which resulted from the injury.
About six months after her recovery, the movement of our Army again brought Captain Capers to the village of R, and again he was sent for by the young lady's mother. The young lady herself appeared to be in excellent health, but her abdomen had become enormously enlarged, resembling pregnancy of the seventh or eighth month.
Captain Capers stated that if it were not for the fact that he knew the injury and had known the family, he should have diagnosed the case as a definite pregnancy. Therefore, under the circumstances, he failed to give a positive diagnosis, determining to keep the young lady under surveillance.
Two hundred and seventy-eight days from the receipt of the wound by the young lady, a fine boy weighing 8 pounds was delivered by Captain Capers, since there were very few doctors available at this time in the vicinity of the town. The mortification and mystification of the young lady and her entire family was apparent! In fact, before the examination Captain Capers stated that he gave no credence to the young girl's assertion of her innocence and virgin purity!
About three weeks after this remarkable birth, the Captain was called to see the baby by the grandmother, who stated that there was something wrong about the infant's genitals. Examination revealed an enlarged, swollen, sensitive scrotum containing in the right side a hard and roughened substance, evidently foreign. The doctor decided to operate for the removal of this object at once. In doing so, he extracted from the scrotum a mass which was mashed and battered as if it had met in its flight some hard, unyielding substance.
Captain Capers stated that he was astonished and that he finally decided, after several days of seriously considering the matter, just how the incident had occurred. He surmised and stated that no other way was possible -- that the mass taken from the scrotum of the baby was the identical one which on the twelfth of May had shattered the tibia of the young soldier and then had plunged through the air into the abdomen of the young lady, carrying particles of semen and spermatozoa through her left ovary and into the uterus, in this manner impregnating her!
No other solution to this birth was apparent. Captain Capers explained this to the family, and at their solicitation visited the same young soldier, who at first was most skeptical but then appeared very interested in the young lady. Before four months had passed, he had married the young girl.
Several years later Captain, Capers received a letter from the young man stating that they were happily married and that they now had three children but the last two not resembling to the same marked degree as the first, the young hero, or the young soldier.
This case occurred on May 12, 1863, and was reported November 7, 1874, in the medical annals.1
1. Med. Ann. 1:62 (Nov. 7) 1874.

The concept of countable infinity is an elusive topic that confuses most people when they encounter it for the first time.
Normally, if you are learning about countable sets, you have just finished learning a bunch of technical definitions and facts about functions, and you might have only just learnt what the words injection, surjection and bijection mean.
The concept of countability then requires you to piece all of these concepts together, learn even more technical results about countable sets, and at the same time try to make sense of the idea that some sizes of infinity are larger than others.
With all this going on, it can be difficult to figure out where to start when you are trying to decide if a set is countably infinite or not.
I would like to convince you that it is easy to tell when a set is countable just by looking at it—all you have to know is the following heuristic:
A set is countable if each of its elements has a finite description.
What follows are some examples of how this heuristic can be used to determine if a set is countable, some examples of what goes wrong when you encounter an uncountable set, and finally, a precise mathematical statement of the heuristic and a sketch of the proof.
Examples of countable sets
To see this heuristic in action, let's first look at some very familiar examples of countable sets.
The set $\mathbb{N}$ of natural numbers is countable because every natural number can be expressed as a finite string of digits, for example:
$$7, \quad 18, \quad 13542, \quad 7000001, \quad \dots$$
The set $\mathbb{Z}$ of integers is countable because every integer can be expressed as a finite string of digits, possibly modified by a $-$ sign, for example:
$$-29, \quad 18, \quad 13542, \quad -7000001, \quad \dots$$
The set $\mathbb{Q}$ of rational numbers is countable because every rational number can be expressed as two finite strings of digits (perhaps modified by a $-$ sign) separated by a symbol representing division, for example:
$$\frac{18}{27}, \quad -\frac{2}{109}, \quad \frac{8}{1}, \quad \dots$$
The set $\mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z}$ of pairs of integers is countable because every pair of integers can be described by specifying two integers, each of which has a finite description, for example:
$$(-29,1), \quad (13,100), \quad (0,0), \quad \dots$$
It was fairly easy to see that these sets were countable, and in fact it is very possible to cook up (more-or-less) explicit bijections between $\mathbb{N}$ and each of the above sets. To see where the power of the heuristic comes into play, let's have a look at a couple of more complicated examples.
Let $\mathcal{P}_{\mathsf{fin}}(\mathbb{N})$ be the set of all finite subsets of $\mathbb{N}$. Every finite subset of $\mathbb{N}$ can be expressed in list notation, for example: $$\{ 1, 75, 300, 412, 2018, 21128 \}$$ Since every finite subset of $\mathbb{N}$ has a finite description, the set $\mathcal{P}_{\mathsf{fin}}(\mathbb{N})$ is countable.
The set $\mathbb{A}$ of all algebraic numbers is defined to be the set of complex numbers which are roots of polynomials with rational coefficients. An element $\theta \in \mathbb{A}$ can be described by specifying the rational coefficients $a_0, a_1, \dots, a_n$ of a polynomial $$p(x) = a_0 + a_1 x + + \cdots + a_n x^n$$ for which $p(\theta)=0$ and then specifying a natural number $k$ such that $\theta$ is the $k^{\text{th}}$ root of $p(x)$ when listed in a particular order (e.g. in increasing order by modulus and then by argument). Since $\theta$ is described by the finite list $(a_0,a_1,\dots,a_n,k)$, and since the rational numbers $a_0, \dots, a_n$ and the natural number $k$ each have finite descriptions, it follows that $\mathbb{A}$ is countable.
Uncountable sets
Now that we've seen some examples of countable sets where the heuristic is successful, let's see some examples of uncountable sets and discuss why the heuristic doesn't apply to them.
The set $\mathbb{R}$ of real numbers is uncountable. Heuristically, this is because there is no way of describing each real number in a finite way. For example, we could describe a real number by specifying its decimal expansion, for example:
$$\pi = 3.14159265358979\dots$$
but decimal expansions are infinite, so this doesn't work. We could describe a real number by specifying a Dedekind cut, but Dedekind cuts are infinite subsets of $\mathbb{Q}$, so this description isn't finite. We could describe a real number $\alpha$ by specifying a sequence of rational numbers $(a_0,a_1,a_2,\dots)$ such that $(a_n) \to \alpha$ as $n \to \infty$, but again this is not a finite description since there are infinitely many terms in the sequence $(a_n)$.
The set $\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{N})$ of all subsets of $\mathbb{N}$ is uncountable. The 'list the elements' method that we used above to demonstrate that $\mathcal{P}_{\mathsf{fin}}(\mathbb{N})$ is countable doesn't work here, since it is impossible to describe an infinite subset of $\mathbb{N}$ in a finite way by listing all of its elements.
Countable sets in disguise
The reason I am using the word heuristic rather than principle is that there are some sets which appear to be uncountably infinite, since their elements have infinite descriptions, but which are actually countably infinite. The reason for this dissonance is that their elements can be described in a finite way—it's just that you wouldn't necessarily think of the finite descriptions.
For example, the set $\mathcal{P}_{\mathsf{cof}}(\mathbb{N})$ of cofinite subsets of $\mathbb{N}$ consists of all subsets $U \subseteq \mathbb{N}$ which contain all but finitely many natural numbers. This set appears to be uncountable, since it is impossible to assemble the elements of a cofinite subset of $\mathbb{N}$ into a finite list. However, an element of $\mathcal{P}_{\mathsf{cof}}(\mathbb{N})$ can be described in a finite way by listing all of the natural numbers that are not elements of $U$.
This demonstrates that our heuristic is only good for determining that a countable set is countable—trying and failing several times to find finite descriptions of the elements of a set does not prove that the set is uncountable; it might just be that you haven't found the right way of finitely describing its elements yet!
Why the heuristic works
Now that we've seen countable sets whose elements have finite descriptions, let's prove that our heuristic is a valid way of establishing the countability of a set.
A finite description of the elements of a set $X$ is really just a finite string of symbols. These symbols can be pretty much anything you like: digits, arithmetic operators, commas, curly brackets, or even words of the English language (or emojis, if you're that way inclined).
Importantly, though, the set $\Sigma$ of symbols that we may use in our finite descriptions must itself be countable (and possibly finite). Indeed, if $\Sigma$ is uncountable, then each symbol $\sigma$ in $\Sigma$ itself can be described in a finite way as a finite string of symbols from $\Sigma$: all you have to do is write "$\sigma$"!
To say that each $x \in X$ has a finite description using the symbols from $\Sigma$ is to say that there is a function $\mathsf{Desc} : X \to \Sigma^*$, where $\Sigma^*$ is the set of all finite strings (= finite sequences) from $\Sigma$. Thus for each $x \in X$, the value $\mathsf{Desc}(x)$ is the finite string of symbols from $\Sigma$ that describes the element $x$.
We can't just take $\mathsf{Desc}$ to be any function. If two elements $x,y \in X$ have the same descriptions, then they should be equal—this is to say that $\mathsf{Desc}(x) =\mathsf{Desc}(y)$ implies $x=y$. In other words, $\mathsf{Desc}$ must be injective.
So now we have made precise what it means for the elements of a set $X$ to have finite descriptions: it means that for some countable set $\Sigma$ of symbols, there is an injective function $\mathsf{Desc} : X \to \Sigma^*$, where $\Sigma^*$ is the set of all finite strings of elements of $\Sigma$.
The heuristic that says that a set is countable if each of its elements has a finite description can now be stated precisely as the following theorem.
Let $X$ be a set. If there exists a countable set $\Sigma$ and an injective function $X \to \Sigma^*$, then $X$ is countable.
Sketch of proof
The proof of this theorem is an exercise in piecing together lemmas about countable sets.
The set $\Sigma$ is countable by assumption.
For each $n \in \mathbb{N}$, the set $\Sigma^n$ of sequences of elements of $\Sigma$ of length $n$ is the $n$-fold cartesian product of $\Sigma$—that this is countable follows by a straightforward induction argument from the fact that the cartesian product of any two countable sets is countable.
The set $\Sigma^*$ is then simply the union $\bigcup_{n \in \mathbb{N}} \Sigma^n$, which is countable since it is a union of countably many countable sets.
The fact that $X$ is countable now follows from the fact that $\Sigma^*$ is countable and there is an injection $X \to \Sigma^*$. $\quad \Box$

Enter the Porch
As part of our remodel, considerable work was done on the front porch. Unfortunately, that work didn't include putting up the railings. This weekend has been the weekend for me to replace them. This has involved purchasing 4x6s and 2x4s to create the classic Craftsman heavy look, then assembling them, which has involved tracing the contour of the house's siding so the 4x6s are notched to fit, and mortising the 4x6s so the 2x4s will sit in them. Yesterday it took me about 8 hours to build 4 feet of railing. I'm hoping today goes faster.

164/2011 a wee dram, originally uploaded by rosipaw.
When in Scotland, whisky tasting is a must. Famous Loch Ness with the legendary monster also has its own signature whisky. Get carried away with your 'wee drams', and you might even get a glimpse of the evasive Nessie 🙂
I'm not into whisky at all but I enjoy seeing the never-ending selection of different single-malts, and trying some of the creative Scotch-spiced cooking. I must say the traditional Scottish haggis with the whisky sauce was really delicious.

Project launch, also called project initiation, is a critical phase of every project. If it is not done properly, the odds of the project's success drop significantly. The purpose of the launch/initiation meeting is to build team member and stakeholder enthusiasm for the project. The project manager must also communicate the key strategic issues for the organization that this project will address.
Project Launch Video Synopsis
This video starts with the project sponsor calling the meeting to order and giving a brief description of what the project will produce. The sponsor makes threats to the project team about what will happen if they finish late. He also argues with one of the key team members about the special packaging that will be required for the new product. As the sponsor and the team member start to argue, the project manager interrupts and suggests a way out of the problem.
The sponsor then threatens punishment if the project is late. The project manager steps in and explains to the sponsor that his threats and attempts to lower the team's estimates will not make the project finish on time or early. The project manager wins the debate but the angry sponsor may take up the issue with the VP.
In this video, watch how the project manager politely but firmly stood up to a terrible sponsor. She knew she had to stop the sponsor's bad behavior during the project launch/initiation phase. If she didn't, it would continue throughout the entire project and lead to failure. She took responsibility for the project's performance but would not commit to a completion date without a clear scope statement and information about the resources available for the project. She did a great job defending the team members to the sponsor but she made it clear that their assignments would be stated as measurable business results.
At the end of the video, watch private interviews with the project manager and team members and learn how they felt about what happened during the launch meeting.
You can learn the steps in a proven project methodology from launch through planning, scheduling, tracking and reporting in our online project management basics courses. You work privately with an expert project manager who is your instructor and coach. You control the schedule and pace and have as many phone calls and live video conferences with them as you wish. Take a look at the course in your specialty.

I had so many questions about the lip colour I wore in a outfit post a few days ago but I wasn't 100% sure what shade it was. I thought it was a mix of two shades however it clicked to me I'd tested out the Giorgio Armani Lip Maestro in 501 as it was lurking in my "to review" box. I'm surprised it's taken me so long to review the Lip Maestro's as I've had them for months and they are very close to my favourite lip products.
Giorgio Armani Lip Maestro's are liquid lipsticks with a lovely matte formula. The formula is similar to the Collection Cream Puff's but are super long wearing and come in a larger shade range. Once applied Lip Maestro's are completely opaque and sit on the lips with a velvety feel. They are richly pigmented and apply like a dream thanks to the doe foot applicator. I've worn these for 6 hours plus, which is pretty impressive. Best of all they have no scent or taste which is perfect for fussy girls like me.
While 501 isn't my sort of shade, I do have a few other ones which I prefer. Namely 500, which is the perfect everyday pink shade. 501 is quite a dark pink with sort of berry undertones. I'm surprised I got so many comments on it as I don't actually like it all that much on me! The price tag is super high and it's probably not something I'd pick out for myself as it's a little out of my lipstick price range. The price does reflect the quality and the brand though, I literally cant fault for the formula at all.

Over two hundred and fifty years ago a small group of German farmers and manufacturers settled in this area. They were of the Lutheran faith and wanted to establish a place of worship for their families. Vallentin Puff, a farmer and carpenter, donated land and helped build a log church that same year; later a schoolhouse was added. One of the earliest pastors was Rev. Henry Melchior Muhlenberg, who visited many congregations in Pennsylvania, riding on horseback, and was called the "Patriarch of the Lutheran Church in America".
During the Revolutionary War the church was used as a hospital for American soldiers injured in the Battle of Germantown; several patriots were buried in the old cemetery next to the church.
In the early 1800's the people in the area scattered and the few who remained did not appreciate the German language. The congregation and the church itself fell into a period of decay. It was not until 1852 that religious services resumed and were held in the schoolhouse. The cornerstone for the new church was laid in 1857. Pastors serving Upper Dublin at this time also served other congregations. Additional land was purchased at this time and Rose Hill Cemetery was started.
As the congregation grew, a number of renovations were made on the building, both inside and out, with a parish house built on the opposite side of Susquehanna Road, serving as a place of learning and social get-togethers. A new education building, dedicated in 1959, replaced the former parish house.
It was in the early 1970's that the congregation undertook a building program for a new church, across the road from the former building. It was dedicated in 1973 and the old church, which had served the congregation for more than 100 years, was razed. As the congregation grew and additional space was needed for new programs, the congregation approved plans for an addition which connected the church with the education building. Today our facilities are used not only for worship, education and other congregational activities, but by the community as well.
Reverend Marion Richard, who spoke at the 150th anniversary of Upper Dublin in 1903 commented "It may be considered an honor to be a member of a church 150 years old, but whether one be a member of a church one year old makes but little difference. The one thing needful is, that one be a member; that he be joined to the very body of Christ."

Huawei and Oracle on Monday signed an MoU called 'Power IoT Ecosystem Partnership' MOU, to build an ecosystem for future power sectors using Huawei AMI Solution with Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management (MDM), Oracle Utilities Smart Grid Gateway (SGG) and related Oracle Utilities products. Both the parties will be responsible for the sales and marketing of the products and solutions.
Huawei and Oracle plan to continue cooperating around customer requirements, with the parties able to make use of Huawei's leading-edge Information and Communication Technology products and solutions, in coordination with Oracle's strong capability of R&D, implementation and outsourcing services in the utility industry. This collaboration will enable a robust end-to-end AMI solution helping power and grid companies to improve customer experience and operation efficiency, achieve energy saving and emission reduction.
Huawei, a Platinum member of the Oracle PartnerNetwork, delivers a powerful service package, its AMI solution. This solution can manage smart meters, communications networks and head end systems using Oracle Utilities MDM, Oracle Utilities SGG, and Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing (CC&B) to support MDAS and customer systems. Previously, Huawei and Oracle successfully completed integration testing for the Huawei AMI Solution Head End System and Oracle Utilities MDM and Oracle Utilities SGG. Both parties used standard IT technology under open architecture to achieve interconnectivity.
"Huawei is very glad to establish a favorable cooperation relationship with Oracle in connected smart grid territory. We plan to increase strategic investment in solution construction, market expansion projects and joint marketing, conduct the cooperation deeply and consistently, and to finally achieve a win-win business situation," said Huawei Energy Solution Managing Director, Cong Peijin.
Oracle Utilities MDM provides comprehensive management of meter commands for remote switch, data and event access and meter ping. With these functions Oracle Utilities MDM and Huawei HES work together to optimize AMI scenarios, such as smart meter implementation, remote control, power-theft analysis and power quality analysis. Based on the success of the integration test and technology seminar, Huawei and Oracle officially agreed to continue cooperation, which should help boost the global grid construction and leverage global knowledge around utilities' maturity and direction.
"Oracle is looking forward to working together with Huawei in marketing, sales and technology to take the AMI Solution into the target sectors. Huawei along with Oracle's utility and customer experience will jointly approach the customer opportunity and achieve a win-win business situation," said Oracle Greater China Regional Senior Director Sales, Stuart Shaw.

Hey all, sorry you if you've been trying to get on this blog but it wasn't working. I've finally got it up and running again and it's back to normal.
Yes, this post is a little overdue but hey. So after years of wanting one, at the end of March I got my first tattoo! I've always loved tattoos, been fascinated by them, so I knew that eventually, one day, I would get one. I thought I would share a little bit about the process, the pain, the aftercare and why I chose this particular image to be tattooed on my body for the rest of my life.
Yes, this post is a little overdue but hey. So after years of wanting one, at the end of March I got my first tattoo! I've always loved tattoos, been fascinated by them, so I knew that eventually, one day, I would get one. I thought I would share a little bit about the process, the pain, the aftercare and why I chose this particular image to be tattooed on my body for the rest of my life.
The Process
It's a dreary, last day of March and it looks like it's about to rain any minute but I booked this tattoo a month ago and I wasn't about to miss it because of some bad weather. So at 1 in the afternoon I head into the tattoo parlour for my appointment. My heart is beating so loud I half expect the fairly packed shop to hear it. My palms are sweating so much that I'm surprised I was able to hold the iPad I was handed (which had my forms that needed filling out before my tattoo on it). I am terrified. I know this is what I want and I've researched and prepared for it but still the fear has a strong hold over me. But Dan's presence makes the fear manageable.
I meet my tattoo artist and he goes through the procedure (is that the right word?) he asks me if this is my first tattoo (I guess I wasn't hiding my fear as well as I thought). He places the transfer on my arm, lowers it with my guidance to where exactly I want it. Then away he goes.
As my tattoo is small and fairly simple I knew I wouldn't be sitting there for hours, Dan is sitting just outside of the room (I think there may be a rule where a person with you can't be too close) but as I am so scared I don't think to ask. But being able to see Dan is a great source of comfort, he alternates between looking at my tattoo being done and looking at my face to see if I am OK.
After around 40 minutes (time seemed to stop having any meaning and I have to ask Dan how long it took) my tattoo is finished! My tattoo artist cleans my tattoo, wraps it in cling film, goes through the aftercare process, all the dos and don'ts and I try my hardest to listen and stop my brain from yelling I HAVE A TATTOO!!
|Tattoo when it was first done!
The Pain
This is the topic that seems to interest people the most when they talk about tattoos and indeed the question I got from everyone is "did it hurt?" The answer? Yes of course it did, it's needles going into your skin BUT it did not hurt as much as I expected. The best description of the pain I can give is that it feels like a hot cat scratch, of course I appreciate that my tattoo is small and therefore probably hurt less in comparison to a tattoo that has more detail and took longer. The outline of the mask only really hurt when it was near the bottom, closer to the inside of my elbow. The most painful bits were the parts that needed filling in like the eyes, mouth and so on. I have definitely had worse pains and I was easily able to manage the tattoo pain.
The Aftercare
By the time I leave the tattoo shop I am buzzing and it's pouring with rain. I head home and wait two hours before taking the cling film off and giving it a wash with lukewarm water and anti- bacterial soap, a bit of blood and excess ink comes off. For the next five days I wrap my tattoo in cling film when I go to bed but I leave it unwrapped throughout the day. For the next two weeks using antibacterial soap I clean the tattoo and after it's clean and dry I use E45 cream to keep it moisturised. Throughout the first week when cleaning my tattoo bits of scab and excess ink come off but this seems to stop soon enough. I keep my arm out of the bath for 6 weeks to stop it getting saturated which is very annoying but oh well. Now that it's fully healed I keep it moisturised using Lush's Dream Cream and make sure that I put sun cream on it when it's sunny out, especially in this heatwave the UK is going through.
|Dream Cream is great for tattoos once they've fully healed!
People's Reactions
Tattoos are things that divide people and can bring out strong opinions, luckily I've not had a mob come after me because of mine, yet. My parents did not want me to get a tattoo but they appreciated that I am 25 and can make my own decisions with my own body. Still my Dad was not impressed with it and hardly mentioned it, my mum said "it was alright for a tattoo". My friends said they liked it and Dan loves it. Co-workers ask me what it is and what it means and give polite smiles, clearly not understanding but bless them for trying. The kids I work with have told me all kinds of new information never known to me before like "they last forever you know" and "it'll look different when you're old". But as with anything to do with my own body, no one else's opinion matters but my own and I love my tattoo.
Why This Tattoo?
If you've been in my presence for longer than 30 seconds then you'll know I love Studio Ghibli, in particular the films of Hayao Miyazaki. My tattoo is the mask of the character No Face from Spirited Away. No Face is a character who I relate to very strongly. To me he is someone who wants to belong and have connections with people yet finds it hard to know how to act when he is placed in situations with people, this resonates with me and my social anxiety. No Face is also a character who doesn't quite know his identity yet, he isn't fully sure of himself, or who he is and where his place is in the world is. These are feelings that I deal with on a daily basis and this tattoo is a reminder to not dwell on those feelings, to just accept them and work towards becoming the best version of myself I can be. On a less deep level the tattoo also represents my love for Studio Ghibli and Japan and my admiration for Hayao Miyazaki. I owe so much to Miyazaki's films as they have got me through some of my worst times and have been there at some of my best.
I love my tattoo so much and know I'll be getting a few more in the future. I hope you enjoyed reading this post and that it was helpful if you're considering getting a tattoo. Do you have any tattoos? What was your first tattoo experience like?

From Sarah C.:
Have you ever taken a self-defense class? I hadn't until recently. Although, I confess after becoming a mom my worry about my surroundings and how I would not only take care of myself but my son was at the front of my mind. When a mutual friend recently asked around to see who was interested in taking a self-defense class, both Allison and I were quick to respond with "yes."
We met on a Saturday morning earlier in the month for the 2 hour private class at Tactical Kung Fu & Mixed Martial Arts in Durham. Altogether we had about 9 women, the majority moms, in attendance. The owners, a husband and wife team, who are also parents customized the self-defense class to our group. We discussed how to avoid potential situations and how, when necessary, to successfully defend ourselves.
Several self-defense moves were not only demonstrated, but we were given a chance to try them with critiques from the instructors. Admittedly, some of us (ahem, myself) were bit more timid to start, but pretty soon we were full force into the situations and breaking quite the sweat.
There were also many opportunities throughout the self-defense class to ask questions – any question. I'd like to think none of us held back there. Each question was taken seriously and responded to with explanation by the instructors.
Thankfully, as I write this I still haven't needed the skills learned in the self-defense class, but Allison & I both agreed we left with our adrenaline running high and feeling far more in control should the situation arise.
The owners did tell us that we were a new group (i.e., mid-30s and parents). Most of their self-defense classes are aimed at college students and often held at area universities. Don't let this deter you. If you are interested, ask around with your friends as our friend did and contact Tactical Kung Fun & Mixed Martial Arts to set up your class.
Along with the Self-Defense Class, Tactical Kung Fu & Mixed Martial Arts also offers a variety of classes for ages 10 and up. Visit their website for full listing and schedule.

Cleaning the gunk out of our water tanks
It's coming up on eight years since we installed our first 5000L water tank, put in during drought conditions. Since then we've added two more tanks as part of the renovation.
Over Christmas, when we had three dry months, our tanks dropped to nearly empty. They also started to stink, clearly the results of anaerobic decomposition of the plant material washed off our roof. Smelly water feeding into the washing machine, not good!
Our setup has first flush diverters, designed to capture the first lot of dirty water that flows into the gutter. They're not magic, however, and gunk still gets in to the tanks, and builds up over time.
In the country, where households have to rely exclusively on their water tanks, it's routine to get them cleaned out every while. I haven't heard of it being done in the city, however. This might be because most of the tanks were put in at the same time as us, or later, and the problems are only now starting to emerge.
When we were out at a country show, we collected a business card from Leigh's water tank cleaning, who we talked into dropping by our place when he happened to be heading into the city. We also talked to the Water Tank Cleaning Company who operate throughout Sydney (their website was down at the time of posting).
Leigh was very friendly, the the process is surprisingly simple. It's basically a hand-manoeuvred version of a pool cleaner, which is steered around the base of the tank where the gunk has accumulated.
It's somewhat horrifying to see how much dark brown water gushes forth. No wonder our water filters kept getting clogged up, trying to deal with all that!
It's a quick process, and within half an hour, our two main tanks were done. That should keep them going for a few years…
A video about our eco house renovation
A few months ago, the environment team at Marrickville Council (now part of Inner West Council) came by to film an interview with me, about our eco renovation. This has now been published, along with insights from two other houses. Enjoy, and I hope it will be useful!
PS. the Inner West Council provides some great resources and support for households wanting to reduce their environmental footprint. Their team is passionate and effective, and I'd encourage you to get in touch.
Redo: oiling our kitchen benchtops
One of the eco-minded decisions we made when we created our environmentally-friendly kitchen was to leave a raw, unsealed surface on our benchtops.
The benchtops are made of kauri pine, a softwood local to Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. Its very fine grain makes it highly resistant to water, and the early settlers even used to make their whole sinks out of the wood (with no metal at all!).
The benches are very resistant to staining, and even beetroot spills faded away within a matter of days. A scrub with a pumice soap periodically would then remove any left-over marks.
The only issue was around the sink area. Here, the iron and minerals in the water would deposit themselves into the grain. The result was a dark, almost black coating around the sink. While it was perfectly hygienic, it was unsightly.
So we finally decided to oil the benchtops, after giving them a thorough sand. Ian Thomson, who constructed our glorious kitchen, was more than happy to help.
We when used Organoil Hard Burnishing Oil to seal the wood, which is food-grade, and only slightly darkens the colour.
The result is lovely, and will now remain lovely, even in the face of heavy use.
Creating a hidden drawer under the deck
There's no such thing as too much storage, particularly when it comes to bulky and odd-shaped items.
So as part of my ongoing process of improving the house, I decided to create a hidden drawer under the deck.
The starting point was to cut the slats around the deck to create an opening.
I then created a sturdy box to enclose the drawer, to keep the weather out. This was made of exterior-grade ply, painted with two coats of black paving paint.
The drawer itself, made of two layers of ply glued together, runs on heavy-duty runners (rated at 250kg).
The final step was to attach the front face, also painted black, and to attach the slats to that.
The screw holes were puttied up, and then touched up with paint.
The end solution works rather well, I think. It's a large size for the inconveniently-shaped garden tools, but is practically invisible.
Onwards to the next project!
Our house is in this month's Sanctuary magazine
We're honoured to be included in this month's Sanctuary magazine, which is featuring a number of houses that have been involved in Sustainable House Day.
(It's a great magazine, with a lot of other wonderful case studies of green projects. Rush out and get a copy!)
Sustainable Design Information Night (Marrickville, 26 June 2013)
On Wednesday June 26, Marrickville Council will be hosting a Sustainable Design Information Night. This event aims to give Marrickville's residents an overview of the key elements of a sustainable house design and to provide residents with the opportunity to ask questions of an expert panel.
The panel will be made up of an architect, building designer, builder and home renovator. James will be the home-owner 🙂
It should be an interesting night, so if you're in the Inner West, hope to see you there!
Installing solar-powered roof ventilation
Some time back we installed a R3.5 batts in the roof of the original half of the house, along with reflective foil. Despite this, the roof space still gets very hot in summer, and after a run of really hot days, we can feel the heat radiating down into the rooms over night.
For this reason, it's highly recommended to ventilate the roof space during summer. While traditional 'wheely birds' are an option, what I've read suggests that they simply don't draw through enough air in an hour to make a real dent on a typical roof.
We therefore focused on an active ventilation system. There are heaps of different options, but my search narrowed down to two products, both solar-powered:
In the end, we went for the Solar Star, which seemed like the better fit for our needs. For the size of our roof, a single Solar Star RM 1200 model was the recommended option, and we bundled in a thermostatic control.
Installation was simple enough. It comes with a plastic flashing suitable for a corrugated roof, plus the necessary screws and instructions. We further simplified the process by fitting the unit directly under the ridge capping, which allowed us to skip a lot of the more fiddly waterproofing steps.
All up, the job took about an hour, most of which involved getting the tools onto the roof and generally stuffing around.
Ideally, at this point I'd be able to report (with graphs!) the roof temperature before and after installation, compared to the outside temperature. But life has been busy!
So I can report that the fan runs steadily and quietly, and I'll post later with a purely qualitative assessment of the impact.

Get a Discount on Your Mortgage
September 18, 2014
Lending giants Bank of America Corp. and Citigroup reportedly will offer mortgages at discounted rates to stir more lending among low-income borrowers and those with subprime credit histories. The loans will be originated through a program by the Neighborhood Assistance Corp. of America, a national nonprofit group that primarily assists low- to moderate-income borrowers.
Credit Standards Easing
Under the new program, the discounts, which will be offered on fixed-rate mortgages, will be greater than what banks usually reserve for borrowers with high credit scores, significant assets, and large down payments. To get the discount in the new loan program, the borrowers will have to pay mortgage points, which are upfront fees that lower the interest rate on a mortgage.
For example, if borrowers pay a mortgage point — which is equal to 1 percent of the total loan amount taken — they typically receive a discount of 0.25 percent on the mortgage interest rate. However, under the new loan assistance program, the banks will offer a 0.5 percent discount for a single mortgage point.
NACA, the originator of loans under the program, doesn't require borrowers to have down payments or to pay closing costs. It also approves borrowers for mortgages as soon as 12 months after a default on a loan. NACA conducts in-depth reviews of applicants' payment histories and requires income and asset documentation, according to CEO Bruce Marks.
The banks' move to work with NACA follows on the heels of a $16.65 billion settlement reached by Bank of America with government regulators in August, as well as a $7 billion settlement Citigroup reached in July. The settlements were reached following accusations that the banks sold risky mortgage securities during the run-up to the housing crisis. Neither bank admits to wrongdoing. But the settlements do require that the banks assist struggling home owners, such as lending to low-income borrowers.
The banks, however, say that their decision to issue NACA loans isn't related to the settlements.

Dispatch from Fox's TCA Day. Check back frequently for updates!
3 p.m. Breaking In
As the only female on Fox's new hacker comedy, Breaking In, Odette Yustman actually sounds like the best part of the show.
"She's a cool girl," Odette said of her character, Melanie Green. "She's a tough girl. She's really an indepdent spirit — gotta put up with all of these guys. She hold her own. She's the team lock picker, she rides a motorcycle, she wears leather jackets. I neeed to start bulking up fast!"
Bikes? Leather? I know what you're thinking, but alas, Melanie Green has a boyfriend (played by Michael Rosenbaum) and also looks to be a love interest for one of her male co-stars/hacker co-workers (played by Bret Harrison). That doesn't mean lesbians won't love her, though, especially since Odette is currently in a new film with Amber Heard, And Soon the Darkness.
Since the show is all about a team of self-professed geeks who are hired to break into people's security systems, Odette commented on her own natural geek appeal. "We're all a little geeky. I'm the coolest geek on the show, riding motorcycles," she said. Her castmates include Christian Slater and Alphonso McAuley.
And when a critic noted that she's, well, attractive, she spoke about how she wants to prove herself in the half-hour comedy.
"Comedy has been something that I've really really wanted to do. It's really a passion of mine and it's the scariest thing I've ever done," Odette said. "Usually when something terrifies me, it's something I should go after. I've been fortunate enough to not have been stereotyped. I've played different characters thusfar in my career. So I sat down with boys over here, and they broke down the character. … I've been itching to do TV — especially comedy. I'll try to be funny. Let's see what happens."
Breaking In premieres April 6 on Fox.
2 p.m. Terra Nova
Fox's new sci-fi series mixes Avatar with Lost with a little bit of Jurassic Park. It's about a family who is part of an experiment to return Earth to a prehistoric time. So it's time travel with dinosaurs and brilliant technology: sci-fi at its best.
You might recognize female lead Shelley Conn from two places: First, she starred as Nina in the Indian lesbian film Nina's Heavenly Delights. Then she romanced Anna Torv as the bisexual one in a group of friends on Mistresses.
But in Terra Nova, Shelley plays Elisabeth Shannon, a wife, mother and trauma surgeon. "She's recruited for her skills," Shelley explained, and told us about having to perfect her miming skills when faking the holograms that appear out of someone's body parts when she's attempting to diagnose and operate.
Also on the show is Christine Adams, who played bisexual on the shortlived USA series To Live and Die, which was cancelled after the pilot episode aired. (So you pretty much would have no idea she was bisexual except for her initial character description.)
Christine plays Mira, a "renegade" that lives on Terra Nova. Unfortunately she stayed tight-lipped during the entire panel, so there's not much else known about her character yet. The one thing she did have to say was that there is nothing false about their wonderment on set. "We're not faking it," she said, because the actors are always kept guessing about what's next for them, and their surroundings in Australia is mystifying in itself.
Two smart and tough women and dinosaurs? This might just be worth watching.
11 a.m. Fox executive session
Fox Entertainment's President Kevin Reilly and Chairman Peter Rice sat in the hotseats today to answer questions about their programming. Among other things, they discussed the plan for Fringe to move to Friday nights, which is otherwise known as "the death slot."
"I beg you not write the eulogy prematurely," Reilly said. "It's a show we're passionate about." And they feel that the ratings the sci-fi show starring Anna Torv and Jasika Nicole already receive will make their Friday night programming better and more successful. They thanked the room for their support of the show, and are optimistic about its future.
With no announcements made yet on Bones and House, Reilly said they want both back but just have to finish with negotiations. So as long as everyone agrees on the amount of money coming in and out of pockets, things should be OK for two of our favorite series. However, this doesn't guarantee a full-time return for Olivia Wilde's bisexual Thirteen on House.
And when it comes to Glee, both men laughed when someone asked how stupid it was of other networks to try and capitalize on the popularity of the show by doing their own version. "They're stupid," Reilly joked, and said he'd only name which networks, specifically, at tonight's party, after he'd had a few drinks.
Maybe that's when I'll ask him why they cut down Olivia's lesbian sex scene from a few seasons back.

Talk About Money: Financial Education Benefits Center Encourages Open Financial Communication
SAN RAMON, Calif., March 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Talking about finances can be awkward, but sometimes it is necessary. Financial experts always advise couples to talk about money, but even mentioning finances with friends can result in stronger friendships. Besides the benefits that come with open communication about something as important as finances, other people may have different perspectives on money that could help with a problem or concern. Financial Education Benefits Center (FEBC), a membership benefits company specializing in health and financial wellness, encourages money talks and offers a financial helpline benefit for those who need assistance.
"Sometimes those awkward conversations you have to have with others turn into great bonding experiences, and that goes for the money talk too," said Jennifer Martinez, Manager at FEBC. "When you're honest about your financial situation, especially when you have to turn down social invitations, what you're really doing is letting them know you trust them."
Talking about money in a relationship can build a solid foundation for a future together. Open communication about money strengths and weaknesses can result in plans for financial success. Financial goals can be a great opener for the money talk and can get both parties on board and working together.
While many individuals are comfortable talking about money, others still find it a taboo topic. Survey results showed that 70 percent of Americans think talking about money is rude, though they would be more open to discussing their income than their savings or debt. The discomfort may come from a lack of knowledge on the topic or lack of confidence in their financial decisions. However, talking about money can be a learning experience, resulting in advice on topics like asking for a raise or how much rent should be.
However, financial advice is best received, or at least vetted, by financial experts. Eligible FEBC members can confidentially talk to accredited or certified financial counselors who can answer questions and help form a plan to work toward financial goals. Members also have access to financial calculators, budgets, and other useful financial tools.
"Open communication is important for a healthy financial situation," said Martinez. "People shouldn't be shy about talking about money, as long as it's respectful and honest. If FEBC members need to gain some financial confidence first or need help with a financial matter, they can talk to financial experts to build a solid financial foundation for their own situation."
