I'm the kind of parent who believes that a child will accomplished certain things at certain ages. Like reading or counting. While encouragement is necessary, pushing her to learn things beyond her current limit, to me, is unfair. Sure, a child's mind is a like a sponge. She'll probably absorbs and memorizes things way better and faster than adults. She might be able to read at 3 years old while others still learn how to say the word "Mom". But that doesn't mean that she likes it. If she was an adult, she would probably scream "Hey, Mom! I'm stressed! I don't want to learn how to read yet!"
And my question would be "Is it really necessary?"
I personally love to read to my daughter. I've been reading children stories to her since she was still in the womb. It is one of my ideas of spending quality time with her. Now that she's 4 years old, reading together becomes even more fun. I love the moments where she asks funny questions about the pictures she's seeing in the book. Or when she changes the characters' names to her own name and the people she knows. Sometimes she would skips a few pages and makes up stories by herself.
So I hope you can understand my frustration below.
My daughter lives in this sad era where people/schools expect her to be able to read and count at the tender age of 4. When she was in preschool, she had to learn the alphabets, numbers AND expected to learn the (english) phonics by heart. She also had to be able to trace letters and numbers without any help. Not only that, her school expected her to color INSIDE the lines. Perfectly. Oh, have I told you that she was only 3 then?
Now, my daughter has a free spirit. She's kinda like...her parents :D "Rules" like those certainly didn't suit her personality. I was lucky enough to be there at her side every day to notice that she wasn't happy with her school. That she was stressed. What was the signs? Well, small things, really. But if you paid more attention to them, you'd know. Like how she often cried during showers in the morning because she didn't want to go. Or how she would rarely tell me stories about her day at school. Sure, she had her share of fun there. But most of time she just wanted to be out of the school with me. Either going straight home or anywhere else but there. I started to think to look for other schools. One school in particular. I went there and her name was unfortunately on the long waiting list. I kept looking while in the mean time tried to keep my daughter interested in her current school. I often asked about her friends, sung the songs she learned at school loudly at home like a crazy mother and patiently asked her to practice her writings. But I immediately let her play with her pet as soon as I saw a single tear on her eye. I also "taught" her some letters while she was pooping. You'd be surprise by the many letters you could find in the bathroom :p I also taught Kukka how to count 1-10 by counting the steps outloud whenever we found some stairs.
And that fateful day came a couple of days before the school holiday. I got a call from Sekolah Cikal. They told me Kukka got a slot there if we were still interested. Long story short, here we are :)
I'm not saying that Sekolah Cikal is the best school. But it seems to be the right one for my baby girl right now. Kukka is happier, smarter and always excitedly telling me stories about her friends and even her teachers. She proudly shows me how to write and spell her name all by herself and she already can recites 4 ayahs of Al Fatihah almost by heart. Her Bahasa Indonesia is also improving in a quite impressive pace :D She shows off her drawings to me every day and in her eyes I can see how much she wants to make me proud of her colorful swirls, which of course are OUTSIDE the lines :) I always tell her and show her how proud I am of her. And sometimes she would ask me first "You're proud of me, Bubu?" :))
Now I'm happy to say that my Little Godsend is happy at school. And do you know what makes my heart burst with joy? Knowing that she's doing and learning all those things not because she has to. But because she wants to.
"I wike Cikaw. I have fun." - Kukka Aiko, 4 yo

I join with all of congress in applauding the return of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.
I know what it is like to be close to a strong and courageous woman who refuses to give up.
Time after time I have watched my wife Ann fight back from disability. I have watched her learn to walk again at least four times. Since 2002 I have seen her battle physical limitations with so much strength and tenacity. Today Ann begins to come back again from a huge setback. I am optimistic that she will give every ounce of her being to her recovery.
She can do no less. It is who she is! I applaud her and Gabby Giffords today!

As part of Brookline Climate Week, Climate Action Brookline has been encouraging people to eat at Brookline restaurants that are recognized for "green" practices such as sustainable operations and menus composed of organic or locally grown food. The Fireplace in Washington Square is certified by the Green Restaurant Association and prides itself on offering New England-grown seasonal produce. Even better, this Saturday the restaurant was participating in the Greater Boston Food Bank's Super Hunger Brunch with a special menu for $25. This annual fundraiser uses the proceeds – vouchers for specific restaurants available on the website a few weeks ahead of time – to stock the food bank that provides over 500,000 meals each year.
The waitstaff had to adjust the menu a bit for vegetarians. The brunch cocktail, yogurt parfait and croissant stuffed with egg, cheese and roasted Brussels sprouts were delicious and a great value!

"I am Scientology's worst nightmare. I am an intelligent young person, who will grow up and lead the thoughtless away from Scientology. I, and my intelligent peers are the greatest enemy of Scientology, and you await our arrival with fear. I don't blame you."
alt.religion.scientology lurker
|Flash! Scientology exploits WTC tragedy!
Just when you think there is no depth the ambulance-chasing cult will not sink to, they surprise you by going even further. The Church of Scientology has taken "Casualty Contact" to a whole new low.
During the September 14, 2001 prayer service at the Washington National Cathedral following the horrific terrorist attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, Fox News displayed a scrolling infoline at the bottom of the television screen. While ironically warning viewers that the "NYPD warns of cruel scams," this infoline subsequently offered an 800 number for "National Mental Health Assistance: 800-FOR-TRUTH."
As can be seen from an official page at the official Dianetics Web site, www.dianetics.org, 800-FOR-TRUTH (800-367-8788) is a well-known and long-established marketing number for the Church of Scientology. Clearly with a misleading name such as "National Mental Health Assistance," they were attempting to confuse the public into thinking they were reaching the National Mental Health Association, a legitimate nonprofit organization addressing mental health issues.
You can view a RealVideo excerpt of Fox's broadcast at the Lisa McPherson Trust's multimedia site.
To their credit, Fox News quickly pulled the offending number from the screen when they were informed of its true nature, admitting it was a "stupid screw-up" to have put it there.
This is not the only instance of Scientology attempting to exploit this terrible disaster. At a September 12 memorial ceremony in Nashville, young Scientologists took advantage of the crowds to hand out invitations to the Church of Scientology. And some netizens have reported receiving emails asking for donations to fund the distribution of L. Ron Hubbard's insipid booklet The Way to Happiness.
I do not fault individual Scientologists who wish to help out with the relief effort in any way they can. However, it must be said that the organization itself is exploiting this tragedy for its own gain. When the Church of Scientology becomes humanitarian, you can rest assured their motives are purely self-centred.
Quick Index
Warning! The Bridge is Out
Scientology, Free Speech and "Religious Persecution"
"What's this page for?"
In October 1996 when I started this Web page, I was following the lead of a hundred other netizens who were concerned that the so-called "Church" of Scientology, an authoritarian religious group, has declared war on the Internet. The Church's bullying of its critics on the Net started in late 1994 and continues to this day. This is simply the latest battle in the same war they have waged against their critics in the traditional media for decades.
In my experience many people are unfamiliar with Scientology. They might be familiar with science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard or Dianetics, but not Scientology. Or, more commonly, they confuse Scientology with Christian Science. If you fall into one of these categories, I have written an overview of Scientology belief that I hope might clear things up a bit.
I have never been a Scientologist, nor have I ever met one to my knowledge. As a result I have drawn some fire from Scientologists and others for saying the things you'll read here. Some people believe it is not proper to criticise Scientology unless the critic has had some involvement with it. In my opinion, this reasoning is unsound. I do not need to have been a slave to oppose slavery. I do not need to have been poor to oppose poverty. And I do not need to have been a Scientologist to oppose Scientology.
Hey, isn't this religious persecution?
Critical discussion of religious beliefs understandably makes many people uncomfortable. After all, those of us who live in a liberal democracy take religious freedom for granted, and often assume that a person's religious beliefs are his own business and no one else's. Religious plurality fosters a healthy open-mindedness toward beliefs of other kinds.
The purpose of a true open mind, however, is to close it around truth. True open-mindedness does not involve only a willingness to listen to different opinions and tolerate them: it also involves a responsibility to evaluate them, accepting the good and rejecting the bad. Uncritically accepting any viewpoint is not the sign of disciplined thought but intellectual laziness, not an open mind but an intellectual breezeway.
I am an advocate of freedom of conscience where religous belief is concerned. There are many Scientologists who believe the Church has helped them become happier, better, and more fulfilled people. But mere belief in something does not make it so. Millions have claimed to have been helped by astrology, crystal healing, Transcendental Meditation and apparitions of the Virgin Mary. It is not enough to accept a belief; the merit of a belief needs to be examined as well.
This two-part essay sums up my opinion on critical speech where Scientology is concerned:
"Where can I find more information?"
From a lowly beginning of one or two Web pages opposing Scientology, the critical presence on the Internet has proliferated wildly since 1995. Please take a look at my recommended Internet resources for further information about the Church of Scientology.
"Scientology burns my toast. What can I do?"
Tell other people. Encourage your friends to read alt.religion.scientology or to look at the various Web pages. The Church of Scientology doesn't want you to know anything about them that it isn't willing to tell you itself. Its literature never mentions a.r.s. or critical Web pages. The best way to counter the Church's silence is to make it impossible to deny their involvement in unethical matters. A number of persons have posted a testimony to a.r.s. saying they have been dissuaded from joining the Church after reading about Scientology on the Internet and getting more than the Church's PR. The free market of ideas works.
Picket your local Church. Every so often someone organizes a world-wide day of protest, and there might be plans for a picket in your city. Now that pickets have caught on in Canada, I hope to be able to attend one soon. Peaceful demonstration is a legal way of expressing your displeasure at the Church's behaviour and raising public awareness. Critic Jeff Jacobsen has a Web page that details how to protest effectively and peacefully following the nonviolent methods of Mohandas Gandhi and Vaclav Havel.
"I'm not convinced."
If you've looked at my page, or some of the other Web pages, and you're still not convinced that the Church of Scientology poses a threat to your freedom of speech on the Net, or (heaven forbid) you've become interested in joining the Church, fine. I don't like it, but I'm a strong advocate of informed choice and I can't force you to believe what you won't accept intellectually. Please understand, though, that exactly the same evidence you have examined has led me and many other people to the opposite conclusion.
Scientology's Reaction to This Page
On February 21, 1998, I received a long-distance telephone call from a person identifying himself as David Lee aka David Lebeau, a private investigator known to work for Scientology. In addition to questioning me about the content of some posts I was alleged to have made concerning Scientology on alt.religion.scientology, he demanded that I explain my motives for publishing this site. I explained that I am motivated by moral indignation prompted by the Church's unethical, immoral, and illegal actions, especially the facts of Hill v. Church of Scientology of Toronto. Other critics reported being contacted by Lee as well.
Additionally, this page has been censored by the Church of Scientology. At the beginning of 1998, Scientology officials announced plans to "handle" the World Wide Web by flooding it with Scientologists' home pages. This plan was enacted not soon after, when hundreds of substantially identical Web pages entitled "My name is John Doe and I am a Scientologist" began appearing on Internet search engines. The first noted example appeared at http://www.relaypoint.net/~lewisgroup/, although over one thousand of these cookie-cutter Web pages are concentrated on Scientology's own Web server, http://myreligion.scientology.org/.
According to the license agreement accompanying the CD-ROM for building these Web pages, the page owner agrees to install and use special filtering software that protects Scientologists' eyes from "unapproved" material about Scientology. When critics of Scientology reverse-engineered part of this software, it was determined that the filtered words included my own name, and the filtered sites included the entire National Capital FreeNet where this Web page and former Scientologist Martin Hunt's reside, and the University of Waterloo Computer Science Club server, the Brooklyn Bridge's former home.
Ironically, one of Scientology's mottos is "Think for Yourself."

As promised in the previous post I am back with a new card for today. It is a card inspired by Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge. Isn't this sketch just wonderful? I loved it so I thought to try it out. It's the first time when I make a card for this challenge (*wink*).
This weekend I was very happy that I got to go shopping for craft supplies at a nice store here in Copenhagen. I purchased lots of stuff. And the good thing about this shopping trip was that I found lots of stuff on sale... on 70% off sale... I also am very happy to have purchased some Prima Marketing Mini Paper Pads: En Francais and Songbird. I fell in love with the Songbird paper pad so I had to try it first. The En Francais paper pad I am planning to use it after the trip to Paris that we are planning for september.
So... let me show you my creation - it's all about birds...
Supplies: papers from the Songbird paper pad and There She Goes Birdie Wishes Stamp set.

The Thieves or Dodookdeul (2012)
From 1930 to 1968, the US film industry laboured under the Motion Picture Production Code, better known as the Hays Code. This reflected a faintly hypocritical assumption that films could be a force for good in society if they were censored and only showed stars being morally righteous. In such cases, their fans would follow their example. The only problem with this is that what works in the Bible Belt may not go down so well in San Francisco and vice versa. This led, amongst other things, to a general rule that criminals could not be seen to get away with crime. There either had to be a successful prosecution followed by a suitable punishment, or the police were allowed to shoot the criminals as they resisted arrest — thereby avoiding expensive trials and costly imprisonment. Today, more or less anything goes although it has been interesting to watch the success of the three Ocean's films. These are what you might call comedy caper films in which a cast of star criminals plan and execute major thefts in different locations around the world. There are no serious consequences for the "winning" team as their methods grow ever more extravagant. In the West, our moral code is more flexible today in allowing crime to be seen to pay.
This brings me to a patronising contempt which many in the West have for the creativity of the Asian communities. For better or worse, there's a fairly pervasive view that all the Asians do is copy the West. You only have to look at the predatory way in which Apple is pursuing South Korean manufacturer Samsung, alleging multiple infringements of its look-and-feel patents. This also applies in the cinema where Korean directors are accused of "stealing" plots from the West without adding anything new. One such film is Tidal Wave or Haeundae (2009), a major box office success and a disaster movie showing the arrival of a tsunami. For marketing reasons which are unclear, The Thieves or Dodookdeul (2012) is also being accused of rerunning Ocean's Eleven (2001). The reason, I suppose, is that about one-third of the film involves a team of criminals making a combined assault on a casino with a view to stealing a very famous diamond called the Tear of the Sun. Yet the films actually have nothing in common other than this one plot element.
Let's look at the set-up. Director and joint screenwriter, Dong-Hoon Choi starts us off in South Korea. Popie (Jung-Jae Lee) has put together a team to break into a fortress storeroom inside an art gallery. Yenicall (Jeon Ji-hyun) has seduced the curator and brings in Chewingum (Hae-Suk Kim) as her mother to distract the man while wireman Zampano (Soo-Hyun Kim) lowers her into the vault. With the police asking awkward questions, it's convenient to accept an invitation from Macao Park (Yun-Seok Kim) to join in a larger team to make the casino caper a reality. This means picking up Pepsi (Hye-Su Kim) who's just been released from jail, and going over to Hong Kong to meet the rest of the team: Chen (Simon Yam), Julie (Angelica Lee), Andrew (Dal-Su Oh) and Johnny (Kwok Cheung Tsang). Because the diamond is too well-known to fence through ordinary channels, the plan is to sell it on to Wei Hong (Ki Guk-Seo), a major criminal with a fearsome reputation. With all this clear, the team moves on to Macau and begins the final preparations.
From the outset, it's obvious that the Korean and Hong Kong teams distrust each other, and everyone distrusts Macao Park. All the players therefore plan on alternate eventualities. If everything looks good, they steal the diamond. But if things go wrong, they have different Plan Bs to steal large quantities of cash that will inevitably be lying around. Needless to say, the target safes are opened and there's no diamond — Macao Park quietly steals it from a different location. Trying to escape from the casino, two are killed and four are arrested. However, on the way to the police station, Popie and Andrew escape, and Macao Park rescues Pepsi. This sets up the final third of the film where Macao Park makes the appointment for the sale to Wei Hong and we watch how it all plays out.
After an opening section which has to go slow so we can get to know a little about each of the players and understand something of their relationships, the film proves to be an exciting thriller as we work our way through the attempted thefts in the casino and watch the get-aways. With the fence ready to buy the diamond and the police poised to arrest everyone involved, there's a genuinely innovative chase through the hotel and then along the outside as the bullets fly and the body count rises. Not surprisingly, The Thieves or Dodookdeul has become the third best-selling film in South Korea and it's now setting off to conquer the rest of the world. It's well worth seeing with everyone turning in excellent performances as the complexity of the betrayals grows. At a scale more reminiscent of Hollywood, the director, Dong-Hoon Choi, shows an assured touch in keeping everything moving along and creating considerable sympathy for some of the villains as they prosper or fail. This really is a film in which you want to see some of these criminals avoid capture and make a better life for themselves. Although the way in which the final fight occurs is slightly contrived, I'm happy to look the other way. The right people get what they want out of the entire affair and, in a way, justice is done!

It does get better. You've got a great attitude and that helps.
Wonderful to hear you are doing so well.
love the kitten toy. Our Kevin had a little ball of paper which was his favourite toy for months! I've noticed that mail order is less than gas phenomenon as well. Sometimes it's well worth the savings to forgo the person approach.
Hope you're starting to feel better and not feeling too house bound.
What a cute kitten! Sounds like she's spicing up your household. The sweater's looking gorgeous -- I love the color, and the tweediness just makes it even more perfect for autumn.

Afterwards, we decided to introduce our son to a bunch of different classic rock albums, to see if he'd have a similar reaction. Here are the photographic results from our unscientific (but very fun) study.
Bruce Springsteen - Born To RunSeamus is clearly picturing himself speeding down the highway in a classic American automobile, with wind flowing through those future locks, which should be coming in any day now...
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
Whoa, mom and dad. Mind. Blown.
He immediately asked if we had a copy of The Wizard of Oz. I don't know who told him about that.
Rolling Stones - Exile On Main Street
Now we're rocking!
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced?
Holy $%#$ that dude can play the guitar.
The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin 4
At this point, ready to rage all night long.
The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
We had to mellow it out a little bit.
Nine Inch Nails - The Downward SpiralJust some pleasant dinner music to accompany that avocado...*
*This is a joke. We did not really play Nine Inch Nails for our son. That would be f-ed up.
Phil Collins - No Jacket Required
Not a fan.
Nirvana - NevermindHe's sad there weren't more albums.
Billy Idol - Rebel Yell
This pic speaks for itself.
Paul Simon - Graceland
Much dancing ensued.
Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick RoadHe's drooling over the richness of the double album format.
AC/DC - Back In BlackSo intense, couldn't even.
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
He sensed the sexual tension between band members, agreed it probably helped with the album's creative process.
Velvet Underground And Nico
After this album, Seamus began to wonder whether he was cooler than most other babies his age and then decided, no, his parents are just a little too influenced by Portlandia.

1 Peter 3:11-13
King James Version (KJV)
11 "Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue (pursue) it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and His ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?"
Pursuing God is no longer an option or a luxury of the top spiritual leaders in the Body of Christ. It has become a requirement for all true Christians in order to avoid all deception from the enemy and his servants who seem to be working around the clock with overtime.
The pursuit of our God, His holiness and His Truth will make the difference between our salvation and our being led to the slaughter by the prince of lies.
He always comes as an angel of light, and he always deceives those who are not walking hand in hand, mind to mind and heart to heart with our glorious Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.
One of the definitions in the Greek for dioko, which is: the term for the verb pursue means to:
:" to seek after eagerly, earnestly endeavor to acquire". In the Vines Expository Dictionary pursue means to seek after eagerly.
In the Spiritual realm; it will be crucial to pursue the real, true, living God, the Creator of the universe in order to overtake, capture, kill or defeat the enemy of our souls, satan, lucifer, the devil and all of his principalities, powers and strongholds that are trying to take over the world and everything in it.
In Jesus Christ, we Christians have been given all authority over the enemy of our souls in order to overtake him, capture his illegal territory gained, and to defeat all of his evil works. To pursue God is to seek Him and His righteousness first, and then to pursue the enemy is to take back the territory that he has confiscated from God's people.
The Bible tells us to love God with all of our hearts, minds, souls and strength, and to Seek His Kingdom First and His righteousness first, and then all the other things will be added unto us (Matthew 6:33," But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you".
Each and every day we need to pursue God, as we work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling "For it is God that worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure" (Philippians 2:12-13).
Our salvation is both positional and progressive. We need both methods of becoming sanctified, which is to become holy, as our Lord is holy.
We must not be passive in our pursuit of God daily. He is always doing His part, but our part is to seek Him with all of our hearts and pursing Him through prayer, studying His Word, praising Him, worshiping Him, speaking His Words, seeking His will and His Way, witnessing about Him, and being led by His Holy Spirit.
The Bible says, "Be ye holy as I am holy". This is not a suggestion; it is a commandment. Pursuing God produces holiness, which brings cleansing, sanctification and purity.
David prayed in Psalm 51, "Create in me a pure heart, and renew a right spirit within me."
We need to ask The Holy Spirit to do His mighty work of revealing our sins of commission and omission to us, so that we can repent, and then He cleanses us from all sin. We are also to be purified through the Truth. The Word of God is Truth, and It washes us and sanctifies us; it is the washing of water by The Word.
Some Christians have stopped their pursuit of God after praying the sinner's prayer. This is only the beginning of our walk with almighty God.
We will receive as much of Christ and being in Him, as we spend the time and effort in pursuing Him daily. One day without doing everything heartily unto the Lord can bring some opening for the enemy to use to divert our attention away from the Lord.
If we think that we can forget about God one day; that could be the day that you make a disastrous decision in your own understanding and you fall.'
David fell, and so we can fall as well. Even though David repented; it was a long arduous process for him with many losses and much suffering before he was restored unto the Lord. Falling only takes a split second, but restoration takes time.
We must Pr.3:5-6, Trust in Him with all of our hearts, and "not" lean on our own understanding, but in all our ways; acknowledge Him and He will direct our paths."
In short, we need Him every day. The one day that we decide to do it "our" way, could be the day that you make a wrong choice or decision like David did when he saw Bethsheba.
Every day has a life of its own. We cannot say we will do this or that in the future, but we are to take one day at a time. Every day has enough evil of its own, and we must walk closely with our Lord in order to have the power to submit unto The Lord, resist Satan, and then He will flee from us.
If we neglect to put God first each day; the evil of even one day could come upon us. Satan is like a roaring lion; seeking any Christian he can deceive, trick or devour. He is working very hard to take as many as he can with him to hell.
Satan works 24/7, and he is always ready to pounce upon the weak, the weary, the wayward and those who are not pursuing God at all times.
What is our goal in pursuing God? It is to become more and more like Jesus Christ. He needs to increase, and we need to decrease on a daily basis.
Every day in this lifetime is very important. This life goes by so quickly, and it is like vapor compared to all eternity.
James 4:8 "Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you".
The Word of God constantly admonishes the Christians to draw nigh to God. Pursuing God daily should be our top priority especially in these perilous days.
The only way that we can grow up into the image of Jesus Christ is to pursue
God with all of our hearts 24/7.
The world has every kind of distraction, that pulls us away from our glorious Lord Jesus. We are bombarded by the temptations of Satan everywhere we go.
That is why our constant pursuit of God must be totally conscious and intentional on a daily basis.
To pursue God must be our daily prayer and objective. We are to rejoice evermore, pray without seeking and in everything we need to give thanks. This is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning all of us.
If we do the will of God; we will stay close to Him, and we will not go astray and disobey.
Our wonderful Lord Jesus Christ has made His Word so clear and easy to understand. It is as simple as the song, trust and obey; there is no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey.
In these last days, it will be imperative to "know" God intimately. Why? Because there will be so much deceit, deception and lying wonders all around us. To know the real and authentic Jesus will be our salvation and our protection from all of the lies of satan.
Knowing the real will eliminate our being tricked by the counterfeits that will be manifested in the coming times. Pursue God with all of our hearts, and stay so close to Him that nothing can get between you and the real Lord Jesus Christ and our awesome King of kings and Lord of lords.
Many false prophets, apostles, pastors, teachers, evangelists will be trying to deceive countless multitudes. The horrible lies of satan are rampant in the church today in some locations.
Beware, and cling to The Lord Jesus Christ and you will be able to escape the mass deception that is coming upon the earth through the anti-Christ and his system of control, manipulation, lying wonders and deceptions of trickery.
Satan has all kinds of tricks up his sleeve, that he has been using for ages, but always remember that they are sorry copies of the real thing which comes from our Creator, almighty God.
Satan has no power unless he deceives his victims, and that is why we Christians must pursue, The Truth, The Way and The Life daily without interruption. It is crucial to our very success in this life and in the life to come.
Pursue God with all of your hearts during these end time days.
God will then be able to bring you through to total victory in Him.

T he first phase of a two-phase construction project that will result in the complete renovation of theWhitehall Jr.Sr.High Schoolauditorium began earlier this week, a couple weeks earlier than expected.
Superintendent James Watson said at Monday's monthly Board of Education meeting crews came in over the weekend and began the process of removing and renovating the existing roof.
Crews worked for a period of time Sunday evening and Monday before taking a break to allow Tuesday's wet weather to pass. They returned to work on Wednesday.
Watson said he was told the work should take about five days of clear weather to complete.
Workers had already completed the removal and abatement of asbestos that was in the old roof.
The work was scheduled to begin on Oct. 1 but crews were able to begin nearly two weeks before the date.
The second phase of the project, the renovation of the auditorium is expected to begin later this winter, probably sometime in February.
The renovation will include the replacement of seating, staging, carpeting, rigging and lighting, painting and repairs, and upgrades to the existing sound system.
Although the second phase of the project is expected to disrupt some programs, notably the annual drama production (which is expected to be held several months earlier in January as a result) the first phase had had little impact on students thus far.
Programs were still being held in the auditorium as of Monday evening.
Voters approved both phases of the project during a June 29 vote. A ballot item to replace the roof passed 65-3 while the renovation of the auditorium was approved 57-5.
The total cost of the project has been estimated at $625,000. That sum includes $115,000 for the roof and $510,000 for the second phase of the project.
The project is being paid for by a transfer of monies from the General Fund to the Capital Project account and a "future renovations to the Elementary and Jr./Sr. high school buildings capital reserve fund.
Administrators have contended that the project will not affect taxes.
In other matters, Budget Officer Jodi Bradshaw said an audit of the district's finances was completed and the school received an A+ rating.
She said 2008 was the last time an audit was completed and the district received the same A+ rating at the time.

When you Gotta Go - Where do you Go on Roosevelt Island?
A reader visiting Roosevelt Island and having any otherwise enjoyable day points out what we already know from previous posts about the necessity for public restrooms on Roosevelt Island. He also raises the issue of easily identifiable signage for the existing restrooms so that people know where they are. He writes:
Good Day: I was visiting Roosevelt Island yesterday.Did you know there was an industrial musical written as an ode to the bathroom? According to WFMU:
I basically had a nice time, residents were very
friendly, but I was unable to find any public
restrooms. I took the Red Bus, which has terrible
service and should accept MetroCards, to Lighthouse
Park. I couldn't find any restrooms there, either. I
had to cut my visit short as a result. I was
surprised there were few, if any, places to get a
snack. Next time, I'll bring along my lunch, but the
bathroom problem remains. I was in discomfort until I
got home.
..."My Bathroom Is A Private Kind Of Place.' It"s from the "The Bathrooms Are Coming,' an industrial-show musical produced for the American Standard Company to extol the glories of their wonderful plumbing fixtures.Listen to the song here.

NSBSA Sport Injury Prevention Tips … Dec 2012
Dehydration – Too little water is a problem…….
Proper hydration before, during and after a run is critical in all weather. Skiers and boarders, instructors and participants can lose a great deal of water through sweat in warm weather and failure to properly replace these fluid levels can lead to dehydration. Drink water or replacement drinks before your activity or teaching, and drink periodically throughout the morning and afternoon. There are a number of hydration packs available which make carrying your own water on runs quite easy and comfortable. A few small sips of water or replacement drink every hour or less, is better than waiting until you feel thirsty to take a drink. This is because once you feel thirsty; you have already started to become dehydrated. Runners drink 16 ounces of water or replacement drink for each pound they loose during the course of the run.
Consider using sports replacement drinks instead of water when working out in warm weather. This can help to prevent hyponetremia which can develop when an athlete drinks too much water and the blood becomes diluted. Sport enthusiasts lose a great deal of salt through sweat and not replacing this salt can be damaging . For example marathon runners who only drink water during the race put themselves at risk because they are not replacing the salt that the body needs. However, drinking sports replacement drinks which contain electrolytes can help the body to avoid becoming depleted of sodium.
Mild to moderate dehydration is likely to cause:
• Excessive thirst
• Sleepiness or tiredness — Children are likely to be less active than usual • Dry mouth
• Decreased urine output — dark urine
• Few or no tears when crying
• Muscle weakness
• Headache
• Dizziness or light-headedness
Severe dehydration, a medical emergency, can cause:
- Extreme thirst
- •• Irritability and confusion in adults
- •• Very dry mouth, skin and mucous membranes
- •• Lack of sweating
- •• Little or no urination — any urine that is produced will be dark yellow or amber
- Sunken eyes, Pale Skin
- •• Skin that lacks elasticity and doesn't "bounce back" when pinched into a fold
- •• Low blood pressure
- •• Rapid heart beat
- •• Fever
- •• In the most serious cases, delirium or unconsciousness.
Treating Dehydration in Athletes of All Ages
For exercise-related dehydration, cool water is your best bet. There's no need for salt tablets — too much salt can lead to hypernatremic dehydration, a condition in which your body not only is short of water but also carries an excess of sodium. Some people prefer sports drinks containing electrolytes and a carbohydrate solution, but they're not essential unless you're exercising strenuously for an hour or more.
Treating Severe Dehydration
Children and adults who are severely dehydrated should be treated in a hospital emergency room where they can receive salts and fluids through an IV rather than by mouth. Intravenous hydration provides the body with water and essential nutrients much more quickly than oral solutions do — something that's essential in life-threatening situations.
Preventing dehydration sounds easy enough: consume lots of fluids and foods high in water such as fruits and vegetables Unfortunately, determining appropriate water intake isn't an exact science, especially because so much depends on your age, physical condition, activity level, locale and participants own unique physiology.
Some general guidelines exist, however. The most familiar is probably the 8 by 8 rule — that is, drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. A better idea may be the replacement plan. Most adults lose about 2.5 liters of water a day through breathing, sweating and elimination. Food accounts for about 20 percent of your fluid intake, so consuming 2 liters of water a day (a little more than 8 cups) in addition to your normal diet should replace what you lose. On the other hand, the Institute of Medicine recommends more — 13 cups of liquids a day for men and about 9 cups for women.
Perhaps the best overall recommendation is to make a conscious effort to keep yourself hydrated and to make water your beverage of choice. That might mean drinking water with every meal and between each meal; taking water breaks instead of coffee or tea breaks; and substituting sparkling water for alcohol.
These guidelines take into account special circumstances such as strenuous exercise, heat and humidity, pregnancy, breast-feeding, and illness. In those cases, you may need to drink much more. www.cnn.com/HEALTH/library/DS/00561.html
Hyponatremia – Too much water
Long distance, marathon and triathlon runners are most at risk, because the longer they run the more they sweat, and the more likely they are to consume too much water without taking in enough sodium. Sodium (salt and chloride) is an essential electrolyte which allows water to permeate the cell walls so that water can be redistributed throughout the body, allowing muscles to work and organs to function. Most people don't get into trouble with a morning workout or a three to five-mile run. However, consuming too much water and not enough electrolytes, could hurt the body. Often participants may need to use the facilities, but if not able to, and if the body can't use the water , the reverse can occur, dehydration while you're virtually drowning your body. Untreated, this can lead to collapse, convulsions, and even death according to the experts.
The symptoms of hyponatremia include muscle weakness, fatique, sweating, bloating, a feeling of fullness in the stomach, nausea, incoherence and disorientation, irritability, and headache. You may be unable to take in any more water, and also unable to urinate. It's important to review the symptoms and signs. if you have the symptoms of hyponatremia, chances are good that you'll either be unable to communicate that, or unable to know you're in trouble. When the amount of sodium in fluids outside cells drops, water moves into the cells to balance the levels. This causes the cells to swell with too much water. Although most cells can handle this swelling, brain cells cannot, because the skull bones confine them. Brain swelling causes most of the symptoms of hyponatremia. In hyponatremia, the imbalance of water to salt is caused by one of three conditions:
- Euvolemic hyponatremia — total body water increases, but the body's sodium content stays the same
- Hypervolemic hyponatremia — both sodium and water content in the body increase, but the water gain is greater
- Hypovolemic hyponatremia — water and sodium are both lost from the body, but the sodium loss is greater
Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte disorder in the United States.

Skiing and Boarding with Asthma
Research shows that gradual running is much easier on asthmatic lungs than intense, all out speed. This is true both when learning to run, or any sport, and also when practicing. Short, intense bursts of speed can leave the asthmatic runner or athlete desperately gasping for air, so longer, slower, endurance runs are easier on the lungs.
* Cold, dry weather is harder on the lungs than warmer, moist conditions. If the lungs are kept moist and warm, then an attack is much less likely, since dryer and colder conditions are triggers.
* In cold weather, using a scarf or higher collar, to protect your nose and throat may help.
* Some participants are on medications. Pay close attention to their requirements to minimize the possibility of an outbreak. Getting careless due to inattention or the excitement of an event may result in unpleasant consequences.
* Fitness is very important. Many participants are not physically fit for the environments they are about to be a part of. Regular aerobic exercise, in particular, will help to develop the lungs, heart and circulatory system.
Beginners yoga and gentle stretching, with concentration on the breath can greatly help asthmatics to stay fit and avoid attacks induced by running, and extreme exercise. With yoga, every movement is coordinated with the breath and this discipline will greatly help when actually running on the track. You can learn to coordinate your running steps with your breath in a mindful way that reduces the likelihood of an asthma attack. In addition, yoga greatly relaxes the body and reduces stress. Often the fear of an asthma attack is exactly the trigger that brings on a real one. There are Olympic runners that compete successfully even though they have asthma.
* Paying attention to the participants needs as well as your own can be helpful as asthma is a debilitating disease in all climates, and particularly cold climates. Asthma that might be only an annoyance to a non-athlete can be the difference between success or failure in an athlete.
Skiing and Boarding with Autism The use of a helmet may not be appreciated, by this individual…. but if everyone wears an adjustable one….Life is Good…..Look at videos …. Patience and Modeling Safety are key. Participants are encouraged to ski with a buddy when not in class. Go Have Fun Safely…….
Collegiate Gatherings All levels of skiing and ability, especially collegiate, as expressed by the USAA is at higher risk for injury and death….. A time for meeting up every so many runs is helpful, stay within bounds, and keep earbuds or exterior media volume on low or off. Listen to the sounds of the outdoors…..Make Your Own Echo's Safely……Respect The Outdoors….Stay Injury Free …Hold off on the alcohol, you don't drink and drive, don't drink and ski… use common sense….moderation is key….
Clothing and Gear Dressing comfortably is also important for skiers and boarders who continue to work out even when it is very warm. Clothing worn by instructors, coaches in all conditions should be layered, and should be constructed of fabrics which are both lightweight and breathable. This will help to keep the instructor cooler. Investing in clothing constructed of fabrics that wick moisture away from the skin can also help to keep the runner more comfortable in warm weather. Note : cotton underlayers hold moisture longer and are heavier than lighter wicking fabrics. New fabric combinations result in better core temperature.
Exposure to the sun is also a concern in alpine environments. Snow blindness, and eye fatigue or injury can occur from excessive sun, especially in the outback situation. We highly recommend goggles for blocking sun as well as sunglasses for the same. A high SPF for the skin (sun protection factor) is also a must on snow, and in the outdoors all year round. Wearing a breathable, adjustable helmet, provides safety, and warmth. But in some cases can contribute to overheating and excessive warmth in warmer weather. When wearing helmets, make sure the participants get to take off their helmet when indoors resting between runs.
All participants are encouraged to wear a sunscreen to protect the skin in outdoor alpine environments. There are several brands of sunscreen available designed specifically for use by runners and other athletes. These sunscreens are less likely to drip into the eyes and cause stinging than other types of sunscreen.
Common Injuries
* Despite your best injury prevention efforts, you may find yourself dealing with some aches and pains. Injuries take a few weeks to develop., or they may take only a few seconds to occur. But in many cases, most ski and board injuries are preventable.
Knee and Leg Injuries
Pulled Hamstring
A pulled hamstring is a common sports injury, seen most commonly in sprinters. A pulled hamstring is a injury to the muscle called a hamstring strain. Treatment of a pulled hamstring is important for a speedy recovery.
Patellofemoral Syndrome
Also called "Runner's Knee," problems associated with the patella, or kneecap, are common in runners. The term runner's knee may refer to several common injuries such as chondromalacia, patellar tendonitis, or generalized knee pain.
Dislocating Kneecap A dislocating kneecap causes acute symptoms during the dislocation, but can also lead to chronic knee pain. Patients who have a dislocating kneecap may improve with some specific physical therapy strengthening exercises.
Plica Syndrome
Plica syndrome occurs when there is irritation of the lining of the knee joint. Part of the lining of the knee joint is more prominent in some individuals, and can form a so-called plica shelf. If this tissue becomes inflamed, it can cause knee pain.
Iliotibial Band Syndrome
The iliotibial band (IT band) is a thick, fibrous band that spans from the hip to the shin; it lends stability to the knee joint, and is attached to muscles of the thigh. ITBS is caused when the band becomes inflamed and tender. It may snap or tear with severe stress do to an improper twist or fall, or sever with over exertion for extended periods of time, such as terrain park type pipe and stunt practices. Trying a skill improperly , landing incorrectly, or over turning, over setting the mark for a skill level…
Shin Splints Shin splints, like runner's knee, is a term that describes a set of symptoms, not an actual diagnosis. Shin splint pain can be due to problems with the muscles, bone, or the attachment of the muscle to the bone.
Stress Fractures, Broken bones Stress fractures are common in alpine environments, with skiers and boarders alike. They occur when a participant pushes themselves beyond their limits, in the terrain park, and on the slopes. They can be avoided. Stress fractures are usually seen in long distance runners, and much more commonly in women than in men. These injuries are usually seen in endurance athletes with deficient nutrition or eating disorders.
Exercise Induced Compartment Syndrome Exercise induced compartment syndrome is a condition that causes pain over the front of the leg with activity. Patients with exercise induced compartment syndrome may require surgery, to relieve their symptoms.
Ankle ,Wrist and Thumb Injuries
Ankle and Wrist Sprains and Ruptured Ligaments Ankle and wrist sprains are common injuries. Early recognition and treatment will help speed recovery . When in doubt, one must wrap the injured tendons with a supportive bandage that will keep that area supported throughout the day. If the ski boot fit is too large, use two pair of thick socks, and try a comfortable foot insert for support. Avoid using the hands needlessly without proper gloves and gear . Thumb injuries are common. If the snow surface is extremely hard or icy, pole gently..for balance.. and timing…Improper pole use, or unexpected hard surface jambs with the hand, thumb or ski pole or strap can cause the thumb ligaments to sprain, rupture, or tear rendering the thumb unusable for gripping. Surgery is often recommended to repair this injury. …Snowboarding can cause a variety of wrist and arm sprains and tearing. When landing or slowing yourself down, understand your hands are not always ready for the pressure they are about to receive…Be Gentle
Achilles Tendonitis Achilles tendonitis is a painful condition of the tendon in the back of the ankle. Left untreated, Achilles tendonitis can lead to an increased risk of Achilles tendon rupture. Bad fitting boots can cause this injury.
Foot Injuries
Plantar Fasciitis Plantar fasciitis is a syndrome of heel pain due to inflammation of the thick ligament of the base of the foot. A tight, inflamed plantar fascia can cause pain when walking or running, and lead to the formation of a heel spur. Sometimes your participants will have this before they even try an alpine activity. If someone is in pain before they ski and board, make a note of it, ask how your group is feeling, and make sure they do not overexert themselves under your watch…
Overpronation Pronation is a normal movement of the foot through the gait cycle. When this motion becomes excessive, over pronation can cause a variety of problems by altering the normal mechanics of the gait cycle. Inserts to control excess foot motion in a boot can be helpful for over pronators. Ski boots and boarding boots can help this problem, as well as worsen it. Improper boot fitting brings with it a host of other muscle fatigue , and uncomfortable , sometimes painful experience on the slopes.
Foot and Arch Pain Arch pain is a common foot complaint. Arch pain, also sometimes called a strain, is an inflammation under the arch of the foot. Treatment of arch pain often consists of adaptive footwear and inserts. You and your participants should use inserts in boots that are not fit specifically. Make sure all rental boots are properly fitting before taking a participant out to have fun. Children are not always fit properly before getting off to their first lesson. This causes tremendous pain in the boot. If they do not fit well, have the parents exchange ASAP for a better fitting boot, and join a different lesson, or get in on the one they are missing if it is not too late, and OK'd with the instructor.
Hip & Thigh Injuries
Hip Bursitis Inflammation of the bursa over the outside of the hip joint, so-called trochanteric bursitis, can cause pain with hip movement. Treatment of hip bursitis is often effective, but the condition, as with other injuries, has a tendency to come back and sometimes becomes a persistent problem.
Snapping Hip Syndrome Snapping hip syndrome is a word used to describe three distinct hip problems. The first is when the IT band snaps over the outside of the thigh. The second occurs when the deep hip flexor snaps over the front of the hip joint. Finally, tears of the cartilage, or labrum, around the hip socket can cause a snapping sensation.
Preventing Common Injuries and Dislocations of Joints and Other Body Parts
While this information should probably be first, many athletes, runners included, fail to take proper steps to avoid injury. Even with the most attentive preventative athlete, however, injury may still occur–such is the nature of the sport. Taking a few moments to check on a participants comfort level will decrease chances of developing a serious problem: – 5 –
Hyperthermia is elevated body temperature due to failed thermoregulation that occurs when a body produces or absorbs more heat than it dissipates. Extreme temperature elevation then becomes a medical emergency requiring immediate treatment to prevent disability or death. Common causes include heat stroke and adverse reactions to drugs. The former is an acute hyperthermia caused by exposure to excessive heat, or combination of heat and humidity, that overwhelms the heat-regulating mechanisms of the body causing uncontrollable elevation of body temperature.
Hypothermia is caused by the lowering of the body temperature resulting in the constriction of blood vessels, sending less blood to the cells. The skin becomes pale in color, there may be loss of judgment , mumbling, grumbling, shivering, lips turn color, loss of fine motor skills, cannot zipper their coats, individuals cannot put on their gloves, small muscles loose control, making it hard to regain inner warmth. Walking and other skiing and boarding activities are impaired, stumbling may occur, muscles become uncontrollable. Participant stops talking, blood cells go into a hibernation at 86 degrees F . Some causes include; not enough layers, wet fabrics, excessive sweating, wind, drafts, excessive time waiting for a lift to start, no hat or head gear, excessive exposure to snow machines, long time standing in extreme cold, or wet environments, exterior cold and icing, as well as not so cold exterior temperatures. A wet, damp environment can cause a gradual grouping of symptoms ;If caught too late, the pulse will slow, and participant may feel sleepy and curl up to sleep. At this point core circulation is threatened. CPR will not help and can hurt causing excessive toxic waste into the extremities. Best to make participant go inside well before this stage occurs, and drink warm fluids. Must build a fire inside their belly. They must get all of their wet garments off, and dry them out.
Due to loss of circulation, and extreme cold weather, extremities are inclined to go numb, fingers, toes, cheeks tend to discolor. There is little to no feeling in limbs, lack of coordination, painful movement. When warming up the extremities, do so with a gentle warm breathe, warm dry clothes, gentle movement , not too hurried and no touching of these areas until the skin starts to turn normal in color . Then you may gently rub and warm the skin to correct temps. There may be burning sensations, or pain…May reoccur quicker , more easily in future.
Watch others, be aware. If there is one person cold, there are usually others cold as well. Injury prevention is a serious issue for those who exercise regularly, especially those who are in training for a particular race or event. In these cases injury prevention is not only important because it helps avoid a painful injury and potentially long recovery period but it is also critical because an injury can disrupt the training schedule and result in not being properly prepared for an event. Injury prevention awareness and properly fitted clothing can go a long way towards injury prevention, serious injury and death.
High Altitude Euphoria, Vertigo and Inner Ear Imbalance
High Altitude euphoria is something to watch for. Lack of oxygen can be debilitating as well as exhilirating. A lack of equilibrium can cause nausea.
Proper Fitting of Cross Training / Running Shoes
One of the most important pieces of equipment for sport enthusiasts are their running shoes. Running shoes should fit properly, not be overly worn and should also ideally be designed to accommodate the runner's style of running. Additionally, running shoes should be replaced regularly to prevent injuries which may result from the running shoe being overly worn out. A good recommendation for how often to replace a pair of running shoes is every 300-500 miles. Some runners keep a detailed training log with a section for accumulated miles since the runner started wearing a new pair of running shoes. Good foot support is encouraged for dryland training.
Skiing in The Trees, Out of Bounds, Behind Snow Guns and Snow Machines Can Kill You
Know your limitations, don't try to ski or snowboard behind snow making equipment, or machinery, as this can cause serious injury and death…. Be visible….Dirt and gravel, grass and tree stumps are not forgiving. Even skilled amateurs and professionals will tell you skiing off piste is dangerous and often impossible. It's a tough ending to endure when there is no snow to support the activity. . When going into backcountry, bring properly packed backpacks, be prepared, take a wilderness first aid course.
Brain Injury and Prevention
We promote the program Lids on Kids designed to educate children and young adults on the importance and protection of the brain while skiing and boarding. We believe the clashes and collisions caused from boarders and skiers colliding is real and preventable. When a participant of either activity cannot slow down, turn or stop, and both parties fall, a head can get hit by a ski or board, resulting in serious brain injury, parapalegic injury, and death. Well fitting, adjustable helmets go a long way in protecting the participants from serious head injuries and should not be underestimated by any age or skill level. .
Stretching and Muscle Alignment for Skiers and Boarders
Stretching regularly can also help to avoid injuries. Teaching your participants to stretch safely is key. One worthwhile recommendation for stretching is to gently stretch before, during and after a run. Gentle stretching before, even during a run stretches cold muscles which are not as pliable as muscles which have been warmed up . Head, neck and arm circles, arm stretches, upper body stretches, and lifting of the feet in the boots, on the skiis, or board is helpful. It is also a good idea to cool down or gently stretch after you have completed your run. This helps the muscles properly relax and will aid in the recovery process . This is important because the muscles can tighten considerably during the course of the run. Gentle stretching afterwards will help to prevent a long term shortening of the muscles.
Finally, we can help to prevent injuries by taking care to avoid doing too much mileage too quickly. An individual who has not been running, or working out at all and attempts to immediately start skiing or boarding is likely to experience a number of different injuries. Those who have not been working out regularly are advised to start out with a couple of stretches on the snow before they continue to go down the hill.. Even experienced skiers and boarders can cause injuries by attempting to increase their mileage, and skill level too quickly. You should aim to increase the skill levels as gradual as possible and try to avoid injuries commonly associated with overtraining such as shin splints and stress fractures.

BLAKE TIM - Blake's New Jerusalem (Remastered & Expanded Edition)
(Code: 18894)
£ 10.99
Newly remastered edition of the classic 1978 ambient masterpiece 'Blakes New Jerusalem'
Format: CD / Cat No: ECLEC2579 / Released: 31/03/2017
Track Listing: 1. A SONG FOR A NEW AGE / 2. LIGHTHOUSE / 3. GENERATOR (LASER BEAM) / 4. PASSAGE SUR LA CITE´ (DES REVELATIONS) / 5. NEW JERUSALEM / BONUS TRACKS: 6. THE WOODLAND VOICE (B-SIDE OF SINGLE PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED ON CD) / 7. FROM OUTTA SPACE / 8. JUPITER TO JERUSALEM / (TAKEN FROM WATERFALLS FROM SPACE)
More information: A newly remastered edition of the classic 1978 ambient masterpiece 'Blakes New Jerusalem' by Tim Blake.
Tim first came to prominence as a member of Gong, where his synthesiser experimentation and mastery was demonstrated on albums such as Flying Teapot, Angels Egg and You. He would also join Hawkwind from 1979 1980 and from November 2007.
After departing Gong in 1975 he teamed up with French lighting designer Patrice Warrener to form Crystal Machine, pioneering the use of lasers and synthesisers in a live setting.
Blakes debut solo album, Crystal Machine, was originally released in 1977 on the French experimental label Egg.
Tim followed this with arguably his finest work, Blakes New Jerusalem in 1978. Unlike his previous work, the album featured songs and the lengthy title-track would dominate the albums second side. New Jerusalem also featured the guest appearance of Jean-Philippe Rykiel on mini-moog. Tim Blake would later perform both Lighthouse and New Jerusalem as a member of Hawkwind when he joined the band the following year.
Now regarded as a truly pioneering work, this edition of Blakes New Jerusalem has been newly remastered and includes three bonus tracks previously unreleased on CD; The Woodland Voice ( B-side of the Generator Laser Beam single) and From Outta Space and Jupiter to Jerusalem home demos recorded at the time of the album and released on the cassette Waterfalls from Space.
The booklet features a new essay and fully restores the original album artwork.

> Heap > how laggy is android ide?
I need to write a few simple programs for android, but I'm afraid its ide wouldn't run on my computer.
Maybe I can use a text editor for this?
By the way, how would you install android programs without internet? I used one site for that (to download apk), but I suspect it installs malware. Also my android version is quite old.

I tried to make Android Studio work at two different machines with about a two-year gap between my attempts. It never got off the ground (hanging itself when Build button was pressed even with default installation parameters and minimal project template!) and was slow as f&$king holy crap of a turtle.
There were a few articles in Google about building your application with command-line tools (without the IDE), but I guess, it won't be easy due to little to no proper documentation for this way of doing things. Not even to mention that you will have to deal with Java infrastructure although internally it is not Java anymore.

Hi, I've had to setup Android Studio with Appium, custom frameworks, and emulators at work (iOS too). It was very painful to get setup on this work computer, which is not too new, but not that slow either in general.
The AVD emulator takes up a ton of hard drive space. Android Studio takes up a lot of resources too, I believe, but maybe just memory. I found the Android Studio documentation to be confusing when we were first getting this setup. If you have a physical Android device, it should be faster. The emulator crashes on first load pretty much every time for me, I need to make sure the window has focus too haha.
Each of the packages in the IDE will probably need to download the correct updates before first use, and I remember a lot of waiting, trying to figure out what version was need for what, restarting, etc. I think the API version we got setup was 26, Oreo or something.
Good luck, I still work with it every other day and can check any settings if needed.
|04 May 2018, 13:51
i use this https://cordova.apache.org with Android sdk, no ide,
you could install your program directly to your Android, just set the mobile phone to developer mode,
fyi, i tried with sdk emulator, no issue, btw, i use linux porteus, basically, they all run in memory, rarely touching hard disk io unless got rw operations,
|05 May 2018, 12:10
I use Android Studio for daily work, on a i5 notebook with 8 GB RAM, running 64-bit Windows 10.
Not bad, doubling the RAM may give smoother developing experience.
But what about folks who don't have powerful machine? Hmm this can be challenging.
You may create Android projects from command line (not sure if this is still supported on current Android SDK, though).
And whenever possible, don't run/debug your programs on AVDs. Use real Android devices instead. Make sure developer mode is enabled.
|05 May 2018, 17:43
My android version is 2.3.4, so it's from 2010. And android studio appeared in 2014, before that people used android sdk and eclipse ide.
What version of sdk I should use? This page https://developer.android.com/sdk/older_releases doesn't seem to provide the needed version, it tells me to install the latest android studio first.
This is called "level 10 api".
EDIT: found!

Looked into Apache's Cordova, Porteus, PhoneGap, and GapDebug (which is at end-of-life). Cordova seemed neat, though more geared towards cross-platform mobile apps? Native Android was mentioned as an alternative, though you could mix them (not sure how much you could mix them)?
In terms of performance, I've been making sure no other big apps are running while the Android setup is going, and it's getting more manageable. Some numbers:
Emulator (AVD) in user/.android: 2.9GB on disk.
Closing emulator reduces pagefile by 2GB
Whenever I just need the Emulator, I close Android Studio & AVD Mgr. Currently, these take up: 1.2GB in memory.
Broken down as: 892MB Android Studio, 420MB OpenJDK Platform binary
The emulator still crashes whenever it first loads, but much less frustrated these days. Also found some really good links on debugging (Appium's inspector wasn't cutting it for me):

React Native, anyone?
You only need one JS codebase, which is ready to be deployed to both Android and iOS.
Well, from a certain point of view, this is very handy.
There's no need to master different languages (Java/Kotlin for Android, and Objective-C/Swift for iOS)

Yeah, nodejs sometime can be confusing, due to breaking things here and there.
I also use the latest node (v8.12), and this is how I upgrade npm.
Run "npm root -g" to check where node_modules directory is located.
On my system, the output is "C:\Node\node_modules"
Go into that directory, and you should find "npm" directory. Delete that, and replace with the latest: https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/tag/v6.1.0
To verify npm is replaced correctly, run "npm" and you should see this:
"email@example.com C:\Node\node_modules\npm"
Hope this helps

Still not stocked up on children's presents yet? There are so many toys on the market, but here are a few of our favourites…
Liv is a huge fan of Lalaloopsy and has several of the dolls but currently loves her Lalaloopy Tinies more than anything! The Lalaloopsy Sew Royal Castle is super cute and bright and the perfect little 'home' for the Tinies as it works as a carry case too. The Castle includes Pony and 2 Exclusive Characters: Prince Handsome and Cinder Slippers Castle comes complete with baclonies and dance floor plus accessories. Currently priced at £16.99 on Amazon. It is great for role play and there are many packs of Tinies to collect. There are packs of 3 Tinies (£5.24) and also packs of 10 (£9.99) which include a secret character. Check out the range on the Lalaloopsy site! The Tinies make great stocking fillers!
The My Magical Mermaid set is an awesome gift to give this Christmas, something completely different. The Playset features a pretty mermaid who swims in multiple directions while the colour changing LED light illuminates her enchanting environment. By dropping the mermaid into water (in the special case) she will spiral and dance. Liv has been absolutely transfixed by this (currently £14.99 at Toys R Us), it is great for bedtimes in order to chill out before falling asleep. A super, cute gift for any water babies!
I am pretty sure that LEGO is a firm favourite in most households and a great gift to give at Christmas. I personally love the LEGO Friends sets, mainly as my favourite colour is purple and there are a lot more purple bricks than in the general sets. The Friends sets tend to also have names associated with the main Lego character – in this instance our latest Friends set is named Olivia… it could not be more perfect! The Jungle Falls Set (41033) is aimed at 6-12 years olds with easy to follow instructions and is just one of many sets you can purchase in the range. Currently £15.04 on Amazon.
Christmas adverts have been on screen for a while now and Twizzles certainly stood out to Liv, as they are mentioned on her Christmas list. Fun, vibrantly coloured with crazy hair, Twizzles are twirling puppies who love cupcakes! By pushing their heads down and pushing their tail, Twizzles will spin around to follow the delicious cupcake. Complete with colourful hairpieces to decorate and comb, the hairpieces can be swapped over with other Twizzle figures to create a new style. A perfect stocking filler for Christmas, with so many available to collect too – aimed at children over 3 years. RRP £9.99, currently £2.99 in Smyths!
These are just a few of the toys we have had the pleasure of playing with the past few weeks… Jenny over at The Brick Castle has also been testing Christmas toys for children aged 3-6 years and also Christmas toys for children aged 6-9 years. Admittedly, having seen the Hexbugs in operation myself, I can see why they are so popular… they are awesome and much faster than you would expect!

The $1.162 billion Gateway Upgrade North project has awarded its winning tenderer. With over 80,000 drivers using the northern section of the Gateway Motorway per day, the major infrastructure upgrade will fix one of Queensland's most congested and important motorways.
The preferred plan includes widening an 11 kilometre section of the motorway from four to six lanes between Nudgee and Bracken Ridge, an upgrade of the Nudgee Road interchange and widening the Deagon Deviation to two lanes in each direction. Not only will the upgrade deliver travel time savings for drivers, it will generate a vast number of jobs over the life of the project. It couldn't have come at a better time, when jobs and job security are more important than ever.
- Joint Media Release from Assistant Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Jamie Briggs and Queensland Minister for Main Roads, Road Safety and Ports Mark Bailey.
When completed in late 2018, the upgrade will enhance road safety and improve the movement of freight along the national road network. The Australian Government has committed up to $929.58 million and the Queensland Government $232.42 million to the project.
The successful candidate for design and construction
Chosen from a field of high-quality tenderers, Lend Lease Engineering Pty Ltd has been chosen to deliver the project.
The global construction and development company edged out rivals Leighton Contractors and the NorthLink joint venture, comprised of Seymour Whyte Constructions, Fulton Hogan, Ferrovial Agroman, ARUP and Parsons Brinckerhoff, which were also short-listed for the project last November.
In regards to property developments, the company has faith in a promising infrastructure line up.
We remain positive on the pipeline of infrastructure projects in Australia with circa $20 billion of work expected to be tendered in the next two years.
- Lend Lease Chief Executive Steve McCann.
Managing extensive quoting needs with PlantMiner
In mid January, PlantMiner assisted Lend Lease by providing rates to include in their tender submission for the Gateway Upgrade North project.
With $1.162 billion allocated by the Australian and Queensland Governments, the project sought close to 50 pieces of equipment including compactors, dozers, excavators, graders, loaders, rollers, articulated dump trucks, water carts and more.
This gave some 84 PlantMiner suppliers the opportunity to quote on a three year hire contract.
