The writings on this website challenge the belief of there being a consensus reality with a personal me located at the center of experiencing. We're wired at birth as be seamless and undivided. We are then taught as toddlers and small children to be divided and separate beings. Our parents and caregivers mean no harm as this separateness was what they were taught by their parents…passed on generation to generation.
These beliefs in personal identity and separateness are taken as Truths, which they are not. Just because there seems to be consensus does not make the belief a truth. History has shown us many consensus truths that have later been seen as only beliefs. We are programmed and addicted to this imaginary self we believe ourselves to be. As long as we are addicted to beliefs about being separate we cannot be in touch nor awaken as this divine aware presence we already are.
The bottom line…there is more to our appearance than a personal self looking out of our eyes toward a world of others and objects. Intending to be helpful and loving, our dear parents and teachers, along with scientists, mentors, leaders, and most spiritual teachers and traditions teach and tell us we are separate beings. It's as though this belief in separate selves, subjects and objects, and forms is a scientifically proven fact and not a consensus belief.
Have you ever wondered why humans believe it's possible to improve, to be a better, or more spiritual, more conscious, or a more aware person than we are this moment? This question was helpful in my inquiry practice. Once we begin unraveling this need or desire – to – be – better – thread, we may eventually, at the end of the thread, find ourselves naked and illusory, but only if we are fierce, diligent, and deeply committed to seeing the workings and ways and beyond the mental stream. And as long as we attempt to better our self, enhance it, release it, open it, cull it, or in anyway polish it…we're just chasing our tails as my friend Bill says. Truth shines perfectly as this moment…as you and not you, as me and not me, as form and not form, but we cannot see this perfection for all the "concrete" and mental programming and habits of thinking.
Truly, we cannot GAIN anything if that is what we are seeking on the path to Truth. Again, we don't exist the way we believe we do. From my direct experience, we can only jackhammer all the mental cement blocking our perceptions of what we are seeing, and what we already are.
Here is a quick experiment that really helped me. If you like experiments then I also recommend the Douglas Harding's headless experiments. Stop reading now and go gaze at a mirror….and then come back to this post and keep reading 🙂
What you are seeing and perceiving in the mirror is the emptiness momentarily appearing as form, as perfection, as aware presence, this moment. And you've likely labeled this reflection in the mirror as a "me" with all it's stories and programming. And your brain continues on auto-pilot spewing the tired old labels and stories of a "me" "in a body" "a male or female" "a seeker" "feeling anxious" "feeling desperate" all these mental comments (beliefs) are programmed and firing within the brain at warp speed.
You likely know that these beliefs veil this aware presence…all the while you are simply looking (or glaring) at the mirror. And remember, all this story-telling in our heads is taking place those few nanoseconds we are noticing a reflection in the mirror. The brain automatically draws a split second conclusion that it already knows what it is seeing based on the past perceptions that are stored in the brain.
But knowing intellectually about the brain's antics and completely disregarding and ignoring these antics, these mental programs and beliefs, is another matter all together. This is one more reason why I found meditation so helpful in spotting the stories and beliefs. The brain is doing what it does, it comments, judges, compares, and takes inventory every single waking moment. I've learned lately while we sleep at night our brains are quite busy organizing, rebooting, and cleaning the neural pathways. Read, if you are interested, these short articles about the brain from Scientific American here, here, and here.
Without question, meditating, inquiring, and observing how the brain functions and creates stories and concepts about me and my life has been, by far, the hardest work I've ever endured. With meditation practice, I slowly seemed to gain some measure of distance between the thoughts and the illusory thinker and learned to ignore the flow of thoughts as the brain and it's mental processes run their programs. This work took me decades to uncover some basic inner peace, and I was not seeking to become awakened or enlightened at that time, in fact, I did not hear or know of such a possibility until 1989 when I began studying A Course in Miracles. This study entirely changed the way I was seeing and thinking and helped me as I was seeking the end of misery and suffering from anxiety, agoraphobia, and panic disorders. Here is a good article about the brain benefits of meditation.
At this point, I'd like to add that a good measure of compassion is necessary, in my experience, for how deeply programmed we are and how we suffer because we believe the thoughts racing through our heads. I also feel it helps to cultivate some slight amusement mixed with sadness at how easily we are duped and confused. This ability to take our suffering a bit more lightly will also help us loosen the concrete that glues our identity so tightly. When we glimpse (I feel this is something akin to Grace offering a peek behind the curtain) how deeply in mental and intellectual bondage we are – then the difficult work begins.
And gratitude, I have found, is one of the keys that also helps the cement lose its hold on us. Surrender is another. When we are holding zero resistance for all of life, all pain, the misery, the incessant suffering, the despair, then we have a bit more evidence that the cement is beginning to shift and loosen. Suffering, fear, confusion, anxiety, pain, illness, they all appear – but not to a personal or separate me or you. These emotions and states are just passing through just like peace, joy, and hunger pass though. These physical and emotional appearances are simply the body's amazing biological and chemical processes on display. It is what it is.
I've also found that addiction to a personal self and to physical form (the world) is THE most powerful addiction there is. I'm a recovering alcoholic with multiple addictions. Dismantling my beliefs and dependence on a personal self was much harder work for me than acknowledging and treating a chemical/substance addiction. With any addiction, our brains, neurochemistry, and bodies are out of whack along with our perceptions.
Addicts like me believe their distorted stories and programming influenced by the toxins we've ingested. Our brains are not operating at a healthy level so we're attempting to heal a physical, mental, and emotional addiction to a substance using a sick brain. Over time, these warped and unchallenged beliefs, along with the damage we do to our bodies, changes our brain chemistry and the biology of the body to the point that the stage is set for protracted and deadly addiction. Our brains are literally sick and addicted from the chemical toxins we ingest through our mouths, noses, lungs, and in and on our bodies. And now I see that sugar in all forms is more addictive than cocaine. I miss ice cream in a big way.
Surely you notice the incessant streaming of thoughts…judgments, commentaries, descriptions and opinions that arise each moment inside your head? Killing this thought stream – the brain/the thought stream – will not work – for you cannot kill the flow of what is appearing. This incessant flow is the divinity, the grace, the perfection of what is. Let's honor the flow, the stream, even as we explore it and see how we have mistaken what it is and judged it as good or bad.
Investigating, inquiring, and meditating appeared to work – it worked for me to uncover the illusory personal self. Turning the head, so to speak, and disregarding the thought stream is the beginning of peace. This mean disregarding all of the thought stream, all the mental processes, regardless if they are labeled or judged as positive, negative, or neutral.
It really all boils down to this: be here now as this present moment. There is nothing to hang your hat on as there is no permanence, no time, no distance. There is no solid ground upon which to linger…there is nothing behind you nor in front of you, there is only this brief, sacred, precious appearance, this breath, and then…Poof! What is.. is precious and a mystery.
So what is the mind and where is it located? Can it be located? Have you ever known anyone to find a mind and place it on an exam table? Neuropsychologist Dr. Rick Hanson along with neurologist Dr. Richard Mendius scientifically describe the illusory nature of a fixed, permanent, separate self in the book The Practical Neuroscience of Buddha's Brain. These behavioral and brain specialists compare the separate self to a unicorn, a truly fictional character, "…as the brain strings together moments of selfing and subjectivity into an illusion of homogenous coherence and continuity."
Dr. Sunil Pandya, a neurosurgeon and thinker on medical ethics, summarizes the scientific aspects of the mysterious relationship between the mind and brain and how this mystery persists, even with each technological advancement. For deeper reading about the mind, this excellent research paper by Dr. Pandya provides a medical/scientific take on the mind as well as a philosophical and spiritual perspective.
In short, Dr. Pandya indicates there is "a clear connection between mental functions as we understand them ('mind') and the structure that produces it (brain)." Dr. Pandya's paper goes on to report "the mind… is a virtual entity, one that reflects the workings of the neural networks, chemical, and hormonal systems in our brain."
Further, Dr. Pandya reports "The mind cannot be localized to particular areas within the brain, though the entire cerebral cortex and deep grey matter form important components. Consciousness, perception, behavior, intelligence, language, motivation, drive, the urge to excel and reasoning of the most complex kind are the product of the extensive and complex linkages between the different parts of the brain."
For most of us, we use the word mind as a general term for the process of thinking, the thought stream, and perceiving while most scientists and doctors refer to the mind as entirely the workings of the brain.
Some of us use mind to mean the same as thought and thinking and the way we seem to talk to ourselves and use phrases like these:
"living inside your head"
"making up your mind"
"changing your mind"
"are ya outta your mind?"
Most of us also want to believe the "mind" is personal and private to a "me" and that no one else can ever know what is "on our mind" or what we're thinking.
Wiki has a few words to offer here about the mind.
And the dictionary offers us this definition of mind.
Let's get really simple and basic here and look more deeply now into the inner workings of the amazing brain. Being a predominately right-brain human, I wanted a simple and basic understanding of my brain so I created a listing of brain functioning keywords so I could better understand how my brain is wired. I used this information in meditation and self-inquiry as I investigated what creates the sense of a personal and separate me, as Anita. I offer you these simple brain notes just in case you were also asleep or passing notes in anatomy class.
The brain's left and right hemispheres communicate through a thick band of 200-250 million nerve fibers called the corpus callosum.

- Language – based
- Perceives shorter wavelengths of light and discerns space between energy packets
- Visual field narrows to gather details

The good news is that personal suffering is optional. This is not to say that suffering doesn't happen to me anymore. It surely does as all human emotions and feelings flow through this body and brain like water trickling down and dripping off the end of a melting icicle. Now there is no longer a personal Anita believing this suffering is specific to her personal life.
Now I see that suffering is just as pure, perfect, and holy as joy, peace, intuition, and creativity. There is no longer any psychological or emotional suffering. Thoughts and stories no longer shout and vibrate personal commentaries that judge, compare, evaluate, and claim any ownership or need to define, explain, nor defend what is appearing. All appearances are seen as holy, complete, and perfect as they are and even the seemingly unpleasant ones are met with acceptance.
The thought stream still rolls across the mental processes of this brain/body as before, but now the steam is blessedly more like a gentle trickle than the tsunami that swallowed and terrorized me because I believed all those thoughts were personal to me. I've endured thousands of panic attacks, multiple phobias, and many intense fears of what life might bring for more than fifty years. I was an anxious and panicky mess in so many ways. I still have occasional panic attacks and my usual phobias but these days I understand that anxiety and panic are just appearances flowing through the biology of the Anita character. The positive and the negative are just expressions of this appearance of Anita. None of the feelings and emotional are seen as personal now…all emotions are just passing through the human experience in a dream of life.
I am thankful for the patient and loving therapists and healing practitioners I have had the pleasure and good fortune to work with over the decades. This may sound crazy, but now I love and appreciate the mental processes still intact and running the body that help me walk, drive the car, create a new recipe, pay the bills on time, and read a book and a map. I also cherish the processes that provide the swearing, sweating, and a sense of funk and depression. All is as it is. And if we do not label what is appearing then we are left with only raw and immediate sensations and openness…embracing Grace, this Mystery that is appearing here now.

The support would form part of a project to develop the Lao Judicial Training Academy, he said, adding that he hoped the Lao government would back the project – a joint work between the Vietnamese and Lao Ministries of Justice.
Cuong expressed his belief that the 2015 Constitution of Laos recently promulgated by President Choummaly Sayasone would lay a foundation for Laos to pass renovation policies.
Thammavong, for his part, praised the outcomes of talks between the two justice ministers.
He said the enhanced collaboration between the two ministries would contribute to fine-tuning the legal system and building an environment to exercise rights to democracy and people's mastery. — VNS

First in Space. Forever!
Today, on 12 April, the whole world is celebrating the Day of Aviation and Cosmonautics – a memorable date devoted to the first human space flight. On that very day 55 years ago at 9:07 from Baikonur Cosmodrome a carrier rocket with the "Vostok-1" spaceship was launched, in which 27 year-old Yuri Gagarin made the first manned flight around the Earth in the history of humanity. In 108 minutes he made exactly one circuit along the Earth's orbit. This legendary space flight opened to humanity the way to the stars. On this day our country became the first. Forever!
In 1961 the main event for the Polytechnic students became the space flight of Yuri Gagarin, in preparation for which employees of Kalinin Polytechnic Institute (it is what Peter the Great St. Polytechnic University was called at that time). In our university, as part of the Laboratory of Computers and Computer Engineering a development design office was established (Prof. T.N. Sokolov was appointed the design manager), in which the equipment for processing orbital data about Earth's artificial satellites was produced and the control systems were developed.
Today, just like 55 years ago, Polytech continues to develop the space industry and works on a number of projects in the interest of the United Rocket and Space Corporation. Such departments of the Polytechnic University as the Institute of Physics, Nanotechnology and Telecommunications; the Institute of Metallurgy, Mechanical Engineering and Transport; the Institute of Computer Science and Technology; and the United Research and Technology Institute develop prospective projects in the field of space industry and successfully introduce these technologies to the industry. And such experiments with the participation of scientists from Polytech as, for example, the experiment on controlling robots, which are on the Earth, from space, conducted by employees of the Telematics department, SPbPU, will undoubtedly assist the further success in space exploration.

A recording of the high-pitched noise heard by some U.S. embassy workers during a series of deliberate attacks in Havana, Cuba, has been released.
The recording was obtained by the Associated Press and has led investigators to initially suspect that a sonic weapon was used to conduct ongoing attacks, starting last year. The State Department has confirmed that at least 22 Americans have been medically affected.
Recent Stories in National Security
The attacks have caused hearing, cognitive, visual, balance, and sleep problems among the victims.
The video released by the AP has been enhanced digitally to reduce background noise and increase volume.
The recordings from Havana have been sent for analysis to the U.S. Navy, according to the AP. The Navy did not respond to requests from the AP for comment on the recording. State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert would also not comment on the tape's authenticity.
Although one individual confirmed hearing the sound, the exact sounds have not been confirmed by every individual impacted by the attacks.
There are consistencies, however. Multiple recordings reviewed by the AP from Havana all have variations of the high-pitched sounds. The individuals who heard the noise also confirm generally the noise was consistent with what they heard in Havana.
"What it is telling us is the sound is located between about 7,000 kHz and 8,000 kHz. There are about 20 peaks, and they seem to be equally spaced. All these peaks correspond to a different frequency," said Kausik Sarkar, an acoustics expert and engineering professor at The George Washington University who reviewed the recording with the AP.
The analysis so far, however, has shone little light on how or if the sound was used as a weapon. The specific cause of the injuries is yet known to the U.S. Government, and the recordings did not significantly advance the government's understanding of what caused the danger to American diplomats.
The recording did appear to rule out the use of high tech weapons, or electromagnetic pulses, as their frequently would be above and below what the human ear can hear.

| 17.6°C Dublin
On a blustery day, it's as difficult to climb as it is to spell, but Djouce holds its own in Wicklow for its centrality (it's something of a lynchpin along the Wicklow Way), its striking shape, and the sheer variety of terrain you encounter along the way.
The length of the walk depends on where you start — kicking off at Enniskerry is a popular, if masochistic, choice, as you can cut a couple of hours by parking at Crone Wood.
From there, proceed towards smashing views of Powerscourt Waterfall, before skipping through a brief valley and coming face to face with the mountain herself. Djouce looks simple, but invariably has the last laugh. The final stretch is a real calfbuster, and believe me, the winds will take the map right out of your hands.
Distance: c.10km. Walking time: 4hrs (allow 6hrs from Enniskerry)
The Devil's Glen, a short drive from Ashford, is basically the artistic equivalent of golf. In the thick of a gorgeous flush of woodland is a sculpture trail (www.sculptureinwoodland.ie), laid out along a family-friendly path with some perfect picnicking spots along the way. The glen is beautiful, the kind of gorge you wouldn't be surprised to see crop up in the next Mel Gibson opus.
Cut by a retreating glacier during the last ice age, today it nestles the River Vartry, a cool waterfall, and a pool known as the Devil's Punchbowl. I recently walked a stretch of this with my toddler, and nary a tantrum was had.
Distance: 4km. Walking time: 1.5hrs.
Lugnaquilla (or 'Lug') is Leinster's highest peak, with an elevation of just over 3,000 feet. On a clear day, views stretch across the Irish Sea to the mountains of Snowdonia in Wales.
On a foggy one, however, you can barely see your nose. The mountain can be tackled via a number of routes, but if you're looking for a test, hit it from the Glen of Imaal. The route skirts the perimeter of a military range, mind, so call the Army Information and Advice Centre (tel: 045 404653) to avoid making it more demanding than necessary. Lug can be a moody beast, so be sure to check the weather and follow the usual advice: dress appropriately, tell someone where you're going, avoid hiking alone, and remember to bring a mobile phone.
Distance: 20km. Walking time: 7.5hrs.
I live in Greystones, so I'm biased, but anyone who has skirted this piece of coastline by train will know this is as short and sweet as a leg-stretch gets.
Kicking off at Bray Head, a souvenirsized hill lifts you up on to the cliffs, and from then on you're on the level.
The route is easy, taking you past cliffs, seabird colonies and hidden coves before hitting the gradual incline to Greystones' Victorian seafront.
And therein lies the beauty — done in this direction, the walk lands you in one of the best café towns in Ireland. Push on into the village for nibbles in the Happy Pear, Nosh n' Coffee or the Three Qs, before plonking yourself on the Dart back to Bray.
Distance: 6km. Walking Time: 1.5-2hrs.
Also known as Fancy Mountain, Luggala's main selling point is a showstopper.
You really haven't lived until you've seen the peaty blue water and shockingly white beach of Lough Tay from these heights, smack in the middle of the Wicklow Mountains. Beginning at the entrance of the Guinness Estate of Lord Iveagh, this walk carries you along the cliff top of Luggala, and can be lengthened, if you're feeling frisky, to include Knocknacloghoge (it takes roughly the same amount of time to climb and pronounce).
Knocknacloghoge peers over Lough Dan too, so be prepared to wax lyrical in the pub when you get home. Distance: 13km (including Knocknacloghoge). Walking time: c.4.5hrs

Donald Trump has claimed that England is not a 'safe place' in the wake of the Brussels terrorist attacks.
The leading Republican Presidential candidate said that England was among the countries which have become 'weak' and cannot protect themselves.
Mr Trump said Europe had 'very, very severe' problems with terrorism and that it needed better law enforcement. The property mogul spoke out after saying that, were he to become President, he would make America's allies pay for the 'cloak of protection' the US offers.
In his most detailed comments on foreign policy yet, the billionaire said that he was sick of America being 'ripped off' by its allies.
Mr Trump's comments on Britain risk a backlash similar to that he received in December when he claimed that police in London were 'afraid for their own lives' because some areas of the capital are so radicalised. Speaking to ABC News, Mr Trump was asked it he would feel safe travelling to Europe after the Brussels attacks by IS terrorists, which left at least 31 dead and 340 injured. He said: 'I don't think America is a safe place for Americans, if you want to know the truth.
I don't think Bruss – England or I don't think that Europe is a safe place. No, I don't. I think there are a lot of problems in Europe that are very, very severe.
'But neither is the United States a safe place, because we're allowing thousands of people to come in here. Nobody knows where they're from. Nobody knows who they are and they're coming in here by the thousands. And let me tell you something, we're going to have problems just as big or bigger than they've got.'
In a separate interview with the New York Times over the weekend, Mr Trump outlined his foreign policy in depth for the first time.
He said that he would allow Japan and South Korea to develop their own nuclear deterrents even though it threatens to destabilise the entire Asian region and antagonise North Korea.
Mr Trump denied that his world view was isolationist and preferred to describe it as 'America First'.
He did not mention Britain specifically but said that he was fed up with America being 'taken advantage of' on the world stage. The solution favoured by Mr Trump was to withdraw American support then negotiate a better deal before bringing it back.
He said that he would consider stopping buying oil from Saudi Arabia and other allies in the Middle East unless they committed ground troops to fight the Islamic State.
Another option would be for them to 'substantially reimburse' the US for its role fighting the terrorist group.
Kathleen Hicks, director of the international security program at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, said Mr Trump was wrong and that America helped other countries 'for entirely selfish reasons'. She added: 'Why do we have military bases in Asia? We have used military bases in Asia because we want to be able to deal with threats far from our shores rather than close to our shores.

utility to mark up significant differences between LaTeX files
Descriptionlatexdiff compares two LaTeX files and marks up significant differences between them (i.e. a diff for LaTeX files). It generates a new LaTeX file containing the annotated differences. Various options are available for visual markup using standard LaTeX packages such as 'color.sty'. Changes not directly affecting visible text, for example in formatting commands, are still marked in the LaTeX source. A rudimentary revision facilility is provided by another Perl script, 'latexrevise', which accepts or rejects all changes. Manual editing of the difference file can be used to override this default behaviour and accept or reject selected changes only.

text: The mentioned paper provides a new approach in the design, modeling and evaluation of vanadium redox flow batteries with polymer membrane. Vanadium redox flow batteries have been proposed as one of the advanced technologies in energy storage systems. This study is based on transient conditions of performance modeling of a battery cell. The proposed time-dependent model has developed based on comprehensive electrochemical, mechanical, fluid and electrical circuit relations along with the concept of taking reasonable assumptions, constraints and appropriate boundary conditions. The results of modeling explain the behavior of different variables such as the concentration of vanadium oxides, the rate of state of change and produced voltage in the battery operating time. On the other hand, the performed parametric study on battery variables represents a significant effect on temperature and initial concentration of the electrolyte solution on the output voltage.

Chamber Launches Plan to Combat Homelessness
Downtown News LA: Business Organization Partners With United Way on Effort to Get People Off the Streets
Downtown News LA: Business Organization Partners With United Way on Effort to Get People Off the Streets
LA Times: Project 50, initiated by the L.A. County Board of Supervisors, had a bold objective: Select the 50 most hard-core, sick, chronically homeless people on skid row, give them a place to live with a raft of support services, and see what happens.
LA Business Journal: While government and city leaders debate the different aspects of the mayor's recently announced housing plan, one important piece of the plan is getting lost: the commitment to build 2,200 units of permanent supportive housing for homeless individuals.
LA Times: Project 50 could be the beginning of a coordinated response to homelessness in L.A.
United States Interagency Council on Homelessness: A new strategic partnership between Los Angeles City and County officials that is moving forward a disciplined approach to identify and prioritize housing and services for the most vulnerable and disabled is offering new hope for a more effective approach for ending the homelessness of those living long term on the streets of Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles.
LA Downtown News: Though Proponents Say They Help Get the Homeless off the Streets, 'Shelter Plus Care' Projects Face a Tough Road
LA Times Magazine: Alice Callaghan has fought city hall and downtown developers to preserve housing for the poorest of the poor.

Warren G. Harding was the 8th person from Ohio to become President of the United States of America, the 29th overall. Born November 2, 1865. The Civil War had just ended and the long stretch of Ohio presidents was beginning at the time. Harding was born in Blooming Grove, Ohio. His birthplace is now only marked with a sign.
Harding went to school at Ohio Central College and started the school newspaper while there. Newspapers were to play a big part in the rest of his life. While he was a senior his family moved to Marion, Ohio. After school Harding saved up money to buy a failing newspaper, The Marion Star.
Warren G. Harding used to papers train pass to visit the 1884 Republican National Convention. While there he met many famous reporters of the time. His paper, however, was taken over by the sheriff while he was away. After he got his paper back harding decided to turn it into a nonpartisan paper. This pleased the advertisers of the democratic Marion County and the republican Marion, Ohio. Harding was starting to show that he had an eye for politics.
Harding soon married Florence Kling, the daughter of his rival. This marriage was a boon for the Marion Star as Florence took over the papers financial. Mrs. Harding's work behind the scenes would be one of the major factors leading Warren to the presidency. Some say even up until his death.
During the 1896 election Warren G. Harding made a name for himself while campaigning statewide for William McKinley. At the time the strategy for an Ohioan running for office was the Front Porch Campaign, where in the candidate would stay at home receiving visitors and send out others to do his campaigning. This was a perfect opportunity of up and coming young politicians to get a chance to meet the public. Harding used this opportunity as a stepping stone to State Senator, Lieutenant Governor, and finally in 1914, U.S. Senator. A position held until the 1920 elections.
1920 was the biggest year of the 20th century for Ohio politics.During the presidential campaign Harding floundered in the early primaries. He finally gained the republican nominate on the tenth vote of the republican convention. his opponent in the general election was fellow western Ohio newspaperman, and sitting governor, James Cox. Cox's running mate was Franklin D Roosevelt. With little to separate the candidates, the campaign came down to the issues. Harding took to the Ohio style Front Porch Campaign. The home and porch is now a museum. Cox used a more active style. On August 18th 1920, the 19th Amendment was ratified giving women the right to vote. This meant that the 1920 presidential election was the first national election that women would vote in.
March 4, 1921 Warren G. Harding was inaugurated as 29th President. While not a fan of the League of Nations, he formally ended World War I with the signing of Knox-Porter Resolution. Harding did many things during his presidency but he is most remembered for his scandals. The Teapot Dome Scandal was the worst of time. The scandal involved the lease of oilfields for low rates without competitive bidding. In the end Hardings first Secretary of the Interior Albert Falls was sent to prison for one year. Hardings Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty was thought to be in league with bootleggers. Harding also had trouble with Charles Forbes, the head of the Veterans Bureau. Forbes was found to have taken kickbacks and selling off property for personal gain.
Most of the scandals didn't come to light during Hardings presidency however. During a trip to San Fransisco Warren G Harding began failing on July 27, 1923. On August 2, 1923 the president suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. His final resting place is in his memorial in Marion Ohio. He wife rests next to him.
While he may have been forgotten as a president Harding's influence on an era has not. Both Boardwalk Empire and Downton Abbey have used his presidency and it's scandals as a major story line. If it had not been for Nixon he may still be known as having one of the biggest scandals and everything would be known as "dome" instead of "gate."
PS. The 1920 campaign saw the first widespread use of telemarketing in a presidential campaign.

How did you find out about housesitting? Do you remember when and where you first heard about it?
Nicole's mother is a full time house sitter and has been for many years. It was at her suggestion that we started house sitting in 2000 when we were building our home, to save on rent whilst also paying a mortgage.
Why do you housesit? What is the main motivation?
Twelve months ago we sold our possessions and left our 'conventional' life in Australia to live a life of travel. In order to afford this lifestyle we need to save money where we can, which is why we housesit. We have saved over $20,000.00. That's a lot of money for someone living a nomadic lifestyle.
But that's not the only reason. We love immersing ourselves into the community and culture when we visit different countries. Housesitting allows us to do just that. And I won't deny that having space is also a major factor. When you are with your partner 24 hours a day 7 days a week for, well for years, you really need a little space where you can have some 'alone time'. There is no space in a hotel room!
How many housesits have you had and where?
We have had over 20 house sits in various locations throughout Australia, UK, Europe and North America.
Was it hard for you to secure your first housesitting gig? How many applications did you have to send before you got accept for your first assignment?
We were very lucky because our first few sits (the ones in 2000) were from word of mouth through Nicole's mother. However, the first sit we did as nomads (2012) was the very first one we applied for. We were so lucky!
What was your favorite housesitting experience to date and why?
One of our favorite sits has been a house in Vero Beach Florida. We first sat for them in October 2012 and they asked us to come back to sit again in January 2013, which we happily accepted. The house is absolutely beautiful (full of mod-cons and luxuries) and is located on a little island just off the main land. But more than that, we grew very attached to the 2 Bichon Frise dogs they have. When we returned in January the dogs remembered us and were so excited to see us. I guess it was a mutual attachment!
Did you ever have any unusual pets to take care of or responsibilities that were out of the norm?
No nothing yet. We are always up for a challenge! So far we have looked after cats, dogs, birds, fish, turtles, chickens and a goat. We would be open to something a little unusual though!
Have you had any funny housesitting experiences?
There's been nothing too outrageous so far. However, we did look after a dog that was attracted to Nicole's leg a little more than what she was comfortable with! The thing was he was a very large dog so every time he decided to, lets say 'show some affection', he almost knocked her over!
What was your worst housesitting experience? Has something ever gone wrong?
Well, that large dog comes to mind! But we've been very fortunate that all of our housesits have been a positive experience. The worst thing to happen to us was actually before we started a sit. We were contacted by a home owner offering us a sit in Maui. Of course we jumped at it, I mean it's Maui! We were so excited. The house was an architects dream, right on the ocean, great pets – It had everything going for it. We made the plans and arrangements and then they cancelled their trip! We were so disappointed. Not to mention that we had turned down other sits because we thought we were booked for those dates. Luckily we ended up finding a replacement sit in Costa Rica, so I guess all's well that ends well.
Do you have any tips for people who are interested in beginning with housesitting? What would your advice be for people to get accepted for a housesit / be successful housesitters?
Be yourself. Be honest about what you are capable of. Be genuine – For example; if you do not like dogs, don't accept a sit with dogs. It's dishonest and no good for yourself or the dogs.
When you send an application to a homeowner, it shouldn't just be about you. It should be about how you can help THEM. You should personalize it and mention their pets by name if they have in their ad. If they have mentioned how much they love their garden, you should make reference to that. You can talk about yourself and your strengths of course, but the focus should be the homeowner. Always personalize each application letter – Never just cut and paste the exact same text!
References are a big help. Even if you haven't housesat before, you can still obtain references from people like your landlord, someone in the community, friends, your vet (to show you take care of your own pets) and anyone that can testify that you are a good person. A police check is a great idea too. It shows you are willing to take a few extra steps to show the homeowners you are trustworthy.
Once you start sitting always ask for a reference from the homeowners you sit for. If you do a good job (which you should every time!) then they will be more than happy to recommend you to others. Also, if the homeowners are happy with your service they will ask you back again. We've been asked back on many occasions, which is the best compliment we can get!
I think it all comes down to pride; if you take pride in what you do, it will show.
Are you signed up to any housesitting websites? If so, which ones, and which ones have you had the most success with?
When we first started full-time housesitting a year ago we signed up to 6 websites. However, when it was time renew recently we only renewed 4 of them; trustedhousesitters.com, housecarers.com, mindmyhouse.com and luxuryhousesitting.com. We get most of our assignments from Trusted House Sitters, then House Carers and only a few from Mind My House.
About Nicole and Michael:
Nicole and Michael are an Australian couple who gave up their careers, sold their possessions and left their 'conventional' life behind for a life of travel and housesitting. They have been living a nomadic life for 12 months and see no end in sight.
They recently launched Suitcase Stories, a website where they share their stories, travel tips and destination guides. Their main goal for this website is to inspire others to travel and to show people how long term travel is not only possible but affordable.

The mainstream literature in digital signal processing does not routinely include methodology for using digital filters as physical modeling elements. On the other hand, literature on general numerical simulation techniques for physical dynamic systems does not generally cover relevant good practice in digital signal processing. Recent applications [91,56,64,122,134] have shown that many benefits can be derived from taking a physical point of view with respect to digital filtering computations. For example, robust, rapidly time-varying, nearly lossless digital filters (such as needed, e.g., for a guitar string simulation) can be developed more easily using a physical approach, and conditions for the absence of unnatural artifacts become more clear. Moreover, nonlinear extensions are much more straightforward when there is a physical interpretation for each of the processing elements. While some benefits of the physical modeling perspective have been realized in the form of general-purpose digital filter structures with good numerical properties, such as ladder and lattice filters,1 more general use of signal processing elements and analysis/optimization methods in physical modeling applications appears to be rare.
The original Kelly-Lochbaum (KL) speech model [39] employed a ladder filter with delay elements in physically meaningful locations, allowing it to be interpreted as a discrete-time, traveling-wave model of the vocal tract (see the allpass portion of Fig. 5 for a similar diagram). Assuming a reflecting termination at the lips, the KL model can be transformed via elementary manipulations to the ladder/lattice filters used in linear predictive coding (LPC) of speech [92]. The early work of Kelly and Lochbaum appears to have been followed by two main lines of development: (1) ``articulatory'' speech synthesis which utilizes increasingly sophisticated physical simulations [50,22], and (2) linear predictive coding of speech [57]. The all-pole synthesis filter used in LPC, when implemented as a ladder filter, can be loosely interpreted as a transformation of the KL model [57]. There have been ongoing efforts to develop low bit-rate speech coders based on simplified articulatory models [89,29]. The main barrier to obtaining practical speech coding methods has been the difficulty of estimating vocal-tract shape given only the speech waveform.
There have been a few developments toward higher quality speech models retaining the simplicity of a source-filter model such as LPC while building on a true physical model interpretation: An extended derivative of the Kelly-Lochbaum (KL) model, adding a nasal tract, neck radiation, and internal damping, has been used to synthesize high-quality female singing voice [14]. Sparse acoustic tubes, in which many reflection coefficients are constrained to be zero, have been proposed [54,32]. Conical (rather than the usual cylindrical) tube segments and sparsely distributed interpolating scattering junctions have been proposed as further refinements [117,115].
In musical sound synthesis and delay-effects applications, digital waveguide models have been used for distributed media, such as vibrating strings, bores, horns, plates, solids, acoustic spaces, and the like [93,94,97,14,15,16,18,17,,37,103,44,46,47,8,,98,123,119,,116,,115,118,120,130,6,,49,82,121,41,,68,100,45,77,,87,107,,74,101,102,30]. A digital waveguide is typically defined as a bidirectional delay line containing sampled traveling waves. This paper is concerned with general properties of digital waveguide models.
Digital waveguide models often include lumped elements such as masses and springs. Lumped element modeling is the main focus of wave digital filters (WDF) as developed principally by Fettweis [26,27]. Wave digital filters derive from a scattering-theoretic formulation [4] and bilinear transformation [65] of lumped RLC elements. The formal traveling-wave signals in the scattering-theoretic description of lumped circuit elements are known as wave variables. Interfacing to digital waveguide models is simple since both use scattering-theoretic formulations. In acoustic modeling applications, WDFs can provide digital filters which serve as explicit physical models of mass, spring, and dashpot elements, as well as more exotic elements from classical network theory such as transformers, gyrators, and circulators. An example of using a WDF to model a nonlinear mass-spring system is the ``wave digital piano hammer'' [127]. For realizability of lumped models with feedback, wave digital filters also incorporate short waveguide sections called ``unit elements,'' but these are ancillary to the main development. The digital waveguide formulation is actually more closely related to ``unit element filters'' which were developed much earlier than WDFs in microwave engineering [72].
Vaidyanathan and Mitra [113] developed a class of digital filters containing both the WDFs and the Gray-Markel normalized ladder structures [35], and proved low passband sensitivity to coefficient quantization and the absence of limit cycles, even under time-varying conditions. The generalized filter structure in [113] can itself be interpreted as a DWN consisting of a single normalized scattering junction (see Section 4) joining an input/output port and waveguides which are each sample long and reflectively terminated at their other end.
Vaidyanathan and Mitra also defined a general family of multivariable digital ladder filters [112] and derived a synthesis procedure for -input -output transfer-function matrices based on recursive extraction of generalized scattering junctions from an allpass transfer-function matrix in which the desired transfer function is embedded. Each ``vector'' scattering junction is an elegant generalization of that in the Gray-Markel normalized ladder filter [57]. The extraction approach starts from the specification of a matrix fraction description [43] of the desired allpass matrix and proceeds directly in the domain.
Digital waveguide models, in contrast to WDFs and generalized Gray-Markel ladder filters, are typically derived directly from the geometry and physical properties of a desired acoustic system. They are often used to simulate nearly lossless distributed vibrating structures such as strings, tubes, rods, membranes, plates, and so on, but only up to a certain bandwidth (the limit of human hearing in audio applications). In many cases we do not want simply to implement a transfer function; we need instead a complete model with which we can interact in a physically consistent way, even when parameters are time-varying and nonlinearities are introduced. In such cases, digital waveguide networks can provide a solid foundation.

Winning Ideas For Real Estate Investing Hopefuls
There are a lot of people who have achieved financial freedom by learning more about investing in real estate, such as The Gazania Condo. However, if you aren't completely familiar with real estate investing, the wealth potential may not be there. First thing is to visit the Gazania Showflat to see the model of the condominium. The information below can help you in beginning your real estate investing.
You should choose the type of investments you want to invest in. You might find that real estate flipping ideal for you.
Never invest in a piece of real estate that you have not personally seen and inspected. Sellers who pony up their own inspector may use professionals that are biased towards them. You want an unbiased report from a person that you can trust.
Find like-minded people with similar minds and learn everything you can from them. Real estate investing is very popular field. There are many groups focusing solely on this subject. If not, you can find forums online where other investors hang out. Join up and learn tips from other investors.
Stick with a niche you feel comfortable dealing with. You will achieve consistency faster by focusing your energies on a particular market sector. Whether you specialize in flipping homes, only working with starters, or starter homes, stick with what you are familiar with if you want to see success.
Get to know other people who invest in your local real estate. It makes sense to connect with others who have more experience. It can be helpful to have friends that know a lot about real estate investing. You can easily find like-minded people by looking online.Join some forums and look into attending meetups.
Problems with tenants can waste a great deal of time for you.
Be sure to choose regions that have good reputations and where lots of people want to live.This is important because it could give you the most amount of resale when you make your purchase. Try looking for properties that can be kept up easily.
Don't forget that the value of a property values can fall. This is a bad assumption is risky in the real estate market and for any one piece of property. Your best bet is to invest in things that provide a positive cash flow. Property value increases will help you invest in future properties.
You might be surprised to know that people do the negotiating for you if you sit back and let them. If you listen, you are more likely to get a good deal.
These options will deliver great information about investing in the real estate market. You could even be able to talk one on one with these individuals one-on-one.
Don't spend your money on real estate without researching the field first. Errors in this field can generate some major losses if you don't watch out.
Look over the entire neighborhood you are investing in. Neighborhoods that are desirable will have a lot of value at all times, while a depressed neighborhood could bring you very low returns. Location is always be the key determinant for a property's value.
Have an idea of your time is worth. You could love rehabbing, but is all the manual labor really the most productive use of your time? Or is it better spent searching for the next great opportunity? It's okay to make time for more important aspects of the business.
In some places, you can be cited for digging without finding this out first because of the extreme damage you can cause if you hit a line.
Hire a reliable property manager who can screen tenants.Since their rent is paying the mortgage, you need to make sure they have good credit and habits.
Try to invest in several properties within a short distance of each other. You will be able to save time and money on maintenance and travel this way as you visit your properties. It can also lets you become more familiar with the area.
You want to make sure that your real estate property. Your time is valuable and you would not want to waste it.Avoid college and vacation rentals, vacation market and depressed neighborhoods. Try investing in properties that have demonstrated histories of reputable and consistent tenancy.
Investing your money in real estate can be a lucrative venture. All you need is plenty of knowledge and luck to succeed. Luckily, the tips above should have helped those interested consider this endeavor seriously.

Tagged: Patrick O'Bryant
Look Who Has Been Busy
Congrats to Melissa at Life and Indians Baseball through the eyes of a Clemson Girl for getting the answer to yesterday's trivia. The question was, When Connie Mack retired as manager following the 1950 season, who replaced him? The answer was Jimmy *****. Sorry the Jimmy's last name is not the best word to say. I was not paying attention at the time. No for some basketball talk.
As some of you know the Boston Celtics have been busy lately. In the last ten days they have made four moves, two trades and two free agent signings. They traded veteran guard Sam Cassell to the Sacramento Kings and backup center Patrick O'Bryant to the Toronto Raptors. Both were for a second round draft pick and the Casselll deal also gave them some cash. Cassell has not played a single game for the Celtics and instead has been an extra coach with his knowledge of the game. I would have liked to see the Celtics to have kept Cassell but I kind of understand. Cassell has played in 993 games with an average of 15.7 points per game, six assists per game, 3.2 rebounds per game, and has a .454 field goal percentage.
O'Bryant was traded in a three team deal involving the Celtics, Raptors, and Kings. The Celtics will get a second round pick from the Kings. The Kings will get guard Will Solomon from the Raptors and cash from the Celtics. O'Bryant has averaged 1.5 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 0.3 assist per game this season. Over his carer he has averaged 1.6 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 0.3 assist per game. An average season for him. I like this deal because O'Bryant was a scrub who rarely played unlike Cassell who was a mentor to the younger players.
Like I said before the Celtics also signed two free agents. Tuesday they signed center and forward Mikki Moore. The terms of the deal are unknown due to team policy. Moore played 46 games with the Kings before being signed by Celtics. He averaged 3.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 0.6 assist per game. Over his eleven season carer he has averaged 5.9 points, 0.7 assist, and 3.9 rebounds per game. Moore will wear #7. I like this deal because Moore is very versatile.
Moore is on the left
The Celtics also signed guard Stephon Marbury. Like I said before due to team policy the contacts terms are unknown. In case you do not follow basketball Marbury is basketballs "Manny Ramirez" just Marbury is a little more extreme though. Marbury's former team the Knicks agreed to a buyout on February 24. Marbury has played one game all season. That game was tonight wear he scored eight points. Marbury will reunite with former teammate Kevin Garnett. They led the Timber Wolves to and in the 1997 and 1998 playoffs. Marbury has played 823 games in which he has averaged 19.7 points, 7.8 assist, and three rebounds per game. I hate this move because Marbury gives the Celtics some bad chemistry in the clubhouse. Now I have never been in the clubhouse with him but this is what I know to reports. How knows though maybe this deal will be the best one and not the worst.
All right here is todays trivia. Who played on the most losing All-Star teams (15)?
Hint- Not Cal Ripken Jr., Hank Aaron, or Willie Mays.

Scared Lamb Makes Heart-Wrenching Decision To Escape Slaughter
The act lasts just a split second, but what a lamb decided to do last week was permanent.
According to a video posted to Facebook last week, a lamb on the roof of a building in Morocco saw his friend being killed right before his eyes.
Realizing that he was in danger, the lamb paced back and forth frantically.
He just couldn't go through what he saw happen to his friend, so he decided between two terrible fates - being slaughtered or escaping by jumping.
In the end, he chose to jump.
"Imagine the terror coursing through that poor thing," one commenter wrote. "Think people...."
The world is full stories of animals doing incredible things - some desperately sad, others victorious, and some, like this one, a heart-wrenching mix of both. If we don't help tell the stories of animals, who will?

It's been five years since Italy's electronic duo Blank released their second album, Impact Zone, and it's about time we got another taste. 2013 marks the return of Blank with their third album, the gloomier, more introspective Dark Retreat. The album marks a stylistic change for Blank: atmospheric pop tracks replace the previous dancefloor focus, and a sombre mood pervades the skillfully rendered production. The album features guest appearances from Kirlian Camera's Elena Alice Fossi as well as Elenor Rayner from The Crystalline Effect. The duo even enlisted Chris Peterson (Front Line Assembly, Delerium, Decree) and Sebastian R. Komor (Icon of Coil) on production duties with the result being a polished, dignified, and honest album.
"Less and less inspired by what we were seeing and hearing around us, we basically retreated looking for perfect darkness and silence, and let the deeper aspects of our innermost selves arise."

The die is cast as I await my dream job…I have done everything possible on my end to make this dream a reality, and now all I can do is wait. And bite my nails and twiddle my thumbs and wish on shooting stars. It's a state job, so I may be doing these things for awhile…
In the meantime there are always book reviews to write…my most recent Moonshine review of the 2007 Robert Hass anthology can be found here.
Navigating the career path is always a challenge. Sometimes the greatest opportunities can look very similar to obstructions when they present dilemmas. Sometimes it can seem so much easier just to stay in the present situation, whether or not it presents new challenges and rewards. Timing is also never an exact science – when is the right time to make the move?
I've come to the decision lately that I'm very happy where I am living and don't want to venture too far afield. Maybe this means I am not an ambitious professional ready to embrace any opportunity that might arise. I'm honestly ok with that. I've made a lot of sacrifices and slogged through a lot of mud to get where I am, and I'm finally started to feel settled here. For the first time in…my whole life? I am consistently happy and pleased with my accomplishments on a daily basis. That's about as ambitious as I intend to get.
However…there are certain limitations to my job. I won't elaborate, but there are good reasons for me to move on at this point. I've started looking for other positions in the area, and thus arises the tough choices. I interviewed on Friday for an interesting, dynamic, well-paid position in a well-funded library. I may very well receive a job offer. It may be wise for me to jump at this chance. The problem is, my DREAM JOB is out there, close enough to touch. In fact, it is being advertised next week. The director emailed me directly to say she hopes I apply. What do I do if I'm in the position of juggling a tangible job offer with a hypothetical interview for the Dream Job?

...Bed Bug Bully is the best to get given that it is both effective and safe. It elaborated that apart from adult bed bugs, it could also kill their eggs and nymphs. And because, it is organic-based, it cited that it is safe for health and the environment.
Allentown, PA (PRWEB) January 24, 2014
Bed bugs were recently discovered in a nursing home in Allentown, Pennsylvania. However, a report from mcall.com published on January 17, 2014 said that the critters had already been cleared. Meanwhile, wanting to help the public also get rid of the pest successfully but without spending too big, My Cleaning Products introduced a spray that could kill bed bugs fast and safe.
Based on the report, the pesky critters were particularly found on January 12 at a nursing home located at 535 N. 17th Street. Nonetheless, it added that only a number of its 146 rooms were affected and prompt actions were taken to resolve it.
The report related that following the detection of the pesky insects, the nursing home specifically trashed the mattresses found to contain the critters. Moreover, it shared that a bed bug exterminator was immediately called in.
The whole treatment, the post additionally shared, was expected to be completed last Friday.
Here is a part of the post Treatment for Bed Bugs Implemented in an Allentown Nursing Home by My Cleaning Products.
"An infestation of bed bugs was discovered in an Allentown Nursing Home in Pennsylvania. However, the presence of those critters was already cleared, stated a report.
The facility scourged by the vampire-like insects was pointed to be the Liberty Nursing and Rehabilitation Home at 535 N. 17th St in Allentown. It is registered with 146 beds and has passed its last inspection on October 03, 2013, based on the record of the state Department of Health."
Bed bugs are so prevalent these days that anyone could bring them home without knowing it, said My Cleaning Products. However, even if that happens, it stated that one could still prevent the worst effects of its presence.
The way to do that, it cited, is to detect and eliminate bed bugs promptly as the nursing facility did. However, it pointed out that the method it implemented, the hiring of a bed bug exterminator, could be expensive. And so, to help others get the treatment done without spending too much, it recommended the DIY bed bug treatment with Bed Bug Bully instead.
By personally doing the elimination, MCP said that one doesn't have to pay anyone. However, out of all the bed bug sprays for the process, it only vouched the use of Bed Bug Bully.
The company said that Bed Bug Bully is the best to get given that it is both effective and safe. It elaborated that apart from adult bed bugs, it could also kill their eggs and nymphs. And because, it is organic-based, it cited that it is safe for health and the environment as well.
Besides that, MCP said that the absence of harsh chemicals in its content also makes Bed Bug Bully pesticide-exempt agreeable to EPA. It detailed that it was already recognized by it and was even added on its FIFRA 25(b).
For anyone to see how well it works, MCP invites everyone to go to its website at mycleaningproducts.com for a Bed Bug Bully Complimentary Sample.

First look at D-Rose's kicks for next season.
Some of Adidas' signature basketball silhouattes for the 2017-18 season are beginning to surface, including Damian Lillard's Dame 4 and Derrick Rose's eigth signature model, the D Rose 8.
Rose, who found a new home in Cleveland this offseason, will be lacing up the kicks shown in the gallery above, which feature the beloved Boost cushioning underneath the heel, as well as a combination of mesh and synthetic materials on the upper.
Footlocker.com and other Adidas basketball retailers will reportedly launch the D Rose 8 in this black/gold-white colorway on October 28th.
More Cavs inspired colorways will surely follow, but for now you can get familiar with the latest Adidas D Rose signature shoe as it stands in a neutral black colorway.

Because of some tired/sick days and extra leftovers we had a couple extra leftover nights this week. I'm trying not to let the fact that I'm posting my menu plans affect the fact that I need to adjust for real life. In fact, one of my main goals with my videos and this blog is to show the 'real life' side of cooking with real food, and admit to the flops and fails and changes and even the frozen pizzas when those happen. It's just sometimes hard, as a food blogger, to announce to the entire internet when you didn't serve vegetables with a meal.
Speaking of which… I was, in fact, a little lax on the veggies this week. We had vegetables included in our meals, but some of them were more in the realm of handwaving and 'onions count as vegetables, right?'. This tends to happen when I'm tired or focused on other things, and this week I was both. I'm concentrating on some other health habits this week, and so the veggies took a back seat to that, but don't worry, I have not abandoned vegetables forever.
(Crazy thought here, but I kind of wonder if truly eating seasonally would mean eating fewer vegetables in the winter. I mean, traditionally you'd have a few high carb vegetables that store well, but you'd mostly be eating grains and potatoes during the winter months right? Which makes sense if you don't keep your house at a fixed 72 degrees year round and actually need to burn a lot of carbs and fat to stay warm all winter.)
Anyway, I did make the turkey dumplings, and need the bump up the seasonings more if I use turkey in the future (instead of pork), but they were still really good. After a bit more tweaking, the recipe will likely show up here.
Homemade breaded chicken strips with homemade dipping sauce (depending on my mood, possibly barbecue sauce, ketchup, sweet and sour sauce, honey mustard or ranch, or any 2-3 of those) and stuffed mushrooms
Homemade pizza
Leftovers/fridge scrounging (This is our Saturday meal, and basically means 'anything easy that sounds good'. So, yes, sometimes it's my code word for frozen pizza.)
Ground Beef and Potato Hash
Salmon Patties with homemade bread, lemon yogurt sauce and onion rings
Lasagna with homemade noodles (Yep, this did indeed get bumped to the next week. But this time it's totally happening! Yeah…) and garlic green beans
Leftovers, as usual. We may not have enough lettuce to do side salads all the time, but we should be able to do fruit salads as a substitute.
If we end up short of leftovers for one of the lunches I might make some soup. I keep a bag of veggies in the freezer and add to it when I have a slice of tomato left over after making sandwiches, or a couple spoonfuls of sauteed vegetables that aren't worth saving to reheat. The bag is getting close to full, and being cold season, it's probably about time for some nice brothy soup anyway.
I made (regular, white flour) waffles for breakfast last Saturday, having not planned ahead enough to make the soaked pancakes that have been on my list for weeks. I think this may be the week to finally make the pancakes though…
Soaked Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Fried Potatoes
Yogurt (with chia, honey, fruit, etc)
Hopefully I'll bake muffins or something too…
Snacks and Other:
Nearly miraculously, I made both oatmeal raisin cookies and chocolate covered strawberries last week. This week I need to make sauerkraut and ketchup, saute and freeze mushrooms, make the soaked pancakes, and either make muffins, or at least make some baked oatmeal ahead for breakfasts this week. Hopefully that's not too ambitious…
Grocery Shopping:
It's my 'off week' for grocery shopping again, though I'm really hoping to get to make a Costco trip soon as I need several things including:
organic carrots, 10lb/$6.99
organic tomato paste, 12/$5.99
shredded cheddar cheese, 5lb/$12ish
Also, I noticed some good vegetable deals at Aldi:
mushrooms, .69 (Again! Anyone who's trying to shop on a budget should be using a lot of mushrooms right now!)
roma tomatoes, 1lb/.79 (Under a dollar pound… Great week to make homemade salsa.)
zucchini, 1lb/.69
onions, 3lb/.79 (Like the mushrooms, still on sale, but even cheaper per pound than the mushrooms, and you can throw a chopped onion in just about everything you cook, in addition to making onion rings, stuffed onions and other onion based dishes.)
I also noticed boneless, skinless chicken thighs for 1.49/lb at Aldi. I tend to buy my meat on the bone, cut it up as needed, and make stock from the leftover bones, but for a 'convenience food' the boneless, skinless thighs could be a good deal.

World War II bride prays for an end to war
To a crowd of some 250 people, the 90-year-old New Zealand native said the time is now for America to push for lasting world peace so a new generation need never sacrifice their lives in a war zone. On this Veteran's Day she said she is thinking of the men and women now serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, praying that President-elect Barack Obama's administration "stops the war and brings the troops home before more are wounded and lost.''
After the ceremony that heralded the sacrifices and commitment of all veterans, the longtime member of the local VFW Ladies Auxiliary post said her fervent desire is for the new President to make ending the war in the Middle East a top priority.
The 11 a.m. service arranged by the local veteran's groups on the south end of the green started with local musician Curtis Thompson performing his annual rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner.'' It concluded with a gun salute and a bugler performing "Taps.''
Each year, Thompson donates his voice because he said it is the gift he can give to those who fought for his freedom.
"It always my honor to do it,'' said Thompson who never served in the military but is regularly a featured musical guest at various veteran and other civic ceremonies. "This is what I can give, and I give it freely.''
Under bright blue skies and a breeze that blew some of the leaves across the green, Cathy Rehaag and her family participated in what has become an annual tradition of saluting those who are responsible for all the freedoms they enjoy.
She said she and her children come "because it's important to see who fought for our country.'' These veterans' selfless service "is why we are free to come and gather.''
Northville Elementary School third-grade teacher Kathy Shemeley, president of the Connecticut POW-MIA Forget-Me-Nots, reminded the crowd there are still veterans - at least 59 last known as alive in Southeast Asia - whose families are waiting to know their fate. On Nov. 20, she said the remains of a Connecticut World War II soldier just recently discovered will be buried in Arlington Cemetery in Virginia.
Resident Cynthia Merritt offered an opening and closing prayer that recalled the first Armistice Day with hopes that America will soon be able to celebrate another armistice. She asked for comfort for all those who remain in harm's way today and be ever mindful these men and women sacrifice for love of country.
U.S. Marine Warren Hengel, who served in Desert Storm, said he was privileged this week to visit the Hill and Plain Elementary School and talk about what it means to be a veteran. He said he tried to convey to the children that America's military exists to protect their rights to feel safe in their land. Other nations look to America for protection and help because its people have always been "leaders and givers.''
And the best present a veteran can be given is to know another generation is following in those footsteps.
"You, too, can be a leader by being a giver,'' Hengel said.

Keith Olbermann is leaving MSNBC, the "Countdown" host announced on his show Friday night.
The liberal commentator told viewers he had been informed "this was going to be the last edition" of his show, but offered no further details.
NBC Universal confirmed the news in a statement Friday night.
"MSNBC and Keith Olbermann have ended their contract. The last broadcast of "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" will be this evening. MSNBC thanks Keith for his integral role in MSNBC's success and we wish him well in his future endeavors."
Olbermann made the announcement in his typical deadpan style, evoking scenes from the film "Network" and thanking viewers for keeping him on the air for eight years.
"In the mundane world of television goodbyes, reality is laughably uncooperative," Olbermann said before launching into a story about his exit from ESPN 13 years ago.
"As God as my witness, in the commercial break just before the emotional moment, the producer got into my earpiece and he said, 'um, can you cut it down to 15 seconds so we can get in this tennis result from Stuttgart,'" he said, half-smiling, pausing for composure.
"So I'm grateful I have a little more time to sign off here. Regardless this is the last edition of 'Countdown.'"
Olbermann began his career at NBC in 1997 as an anchor for NBC Sports. During that time he was also host of two MSNBC primetime news programs, "The Big Show," and "White House In Crisis."
He left the network amid a dust-up over his dissatisfaction with the network's coverage of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. He returned in 2003 as a substitute host on "Nachman" before launching "Countdown."
The prime-time host's departure comes two months after he was suspended for a couple of nights in November for violating the ethics policy of the cable network after Politico reported that he had donated to three Democrats seeking federal office.
The contributions violated an NBC policy that requires employees of the news organization to obtain permission ahead of any political donations or activities that could be deemed as a conflict of interest.
The announcement triggered immediate speculation over whether the coming takeover of NBC Universal by Comcast had anything to do with his departure. NBC has denied that the move had anything to do with the impending takeover, New York Times reporter Bill Carter told CNN's Anderson Cooper.
Olbermann signed a four-year extension on his contract in 2008, Carter said, which will prevent him from appearing on television. He can still do radio and online appearances, he added.FULL STORY
If Comcast is behind this, I will be canceling my Comcast service.
Keith, please be back on the air soon, we need you. You and Rachel were the two main reasons I watched MSNBC.
Hahahahahaha. Hey KEITH good luck. Maybe (congress willing) you can try and revive air america. It dies a horrific death but i feel u may be able to.............Nevermind. You are a cancer to any network or anything u touch. Love that i wont have to see your ugly mug as i flip the channel at night. Good riddance. Keith Olberman, tonights "Worst Propagandance Spewer in The Universe"
Keith Olbermann and Dave Schwartz should launch their own new/weather channel!
This is a sad day for truth in America. The seething hydra that is comcast will completely silence any other dissenting voices in the coming years, and the only places to get news will be the propaganda machine fox (I refuse to capitalize) and the the new improved propaganda machine NBC.
DIDN'T take long for Comcast to rear its UGLY HEAD (after the announced FCC-approved of NBC-Comcast merger).
This signals the END for progressive views in media. The FCC really screwed the people of this country.
GE … NBC UNIVERSAL and COMCAST: the gods that will rule our world in the days come.
Rahm Emanuel and his WME CEO-agent brother, Ari (think Jeremy Piven in HBO Entourage as Hollywood agent Ari Gold) … who raised $12-million in just a few weeks to buy Rahm's election as Chicago's new Mayor.
Now, Obama appoints GE/NBC's Jeff Immelt to replace Paul Volker and the list goes on and on...
WHO did we elect two years ago … to move this country back to the stone ages … in terms of our liberal FREEDOMS?
I have just been given a reason not to watch MSNBC again. Every day I looked forward to K.O's show in the evening.
STUPID MISTAKE, msnbc!!!
And because I couldn't have said it better, I will repost Janice Dillman's comment:
I am enormously saddened to learn that Keith Olbermann has been silenced by the corporate establishment, both in business and in media (as there is no way to separate the two any more). Keith Olbermann, while energetic and passionate, brought forth facts that are never heard on CNN, or Fox News. His passion was simply passion and focused and targeted energy on those who wre selling out the middle class and us regular folk. Sadly, the only "passion" that corporate media will tolerate is the right wing vitriol of Beck and O'Reilly and Hannity that everyone know is not only hateful, but filled with lies and misinformation. Keith offered refreshing reality to the conservative propaganda. He is brilliant and his special comments can bring people to tears. Keith, thank you for all you have done. Good luck and please find a way to land on your feet and come back to us all.
For those who read this post and disagree with me, please pause a moment and identify for me where, or who, will provide us real journalism now? What station? Journalism in which the journalist will question the newsmaker, on the facts of the news, and NOT just repeating the propaganda.........find me one example.
When will we all recognize that journalists are gone, and are replaced with corporatists who work for about three or 4 companies/families. Unbiased news is now a thing of the past. This is a real tragedy.
Like Keith Olbermann said. Good bye MSNBC. I only watch you because of Keith. If he goes, so does I go. It was fun while it lasted. To bad you couldn't see the big picture.
Keith is total class act and his show will be missed. I didn't agree with him all the time, but he told the truth. I will not watch MSNBC any longer and I hope CNN will put on.
