ALert: Rock You Like A Bank Holiday!!-V'S LATEST 9/27/13
Sep 28, 2013
This morning Panamanian's and Gringo Expats looking to escape the long arm of Uncle Stalin (As I can not call him Uncle Sam) awoke to the world ending reality that they are on a bank holiday till October the 1st…
Folks this is not a joke. I have been warning about this it seems like forever. Many have forgotten the Banks Network shutdowns a few years ago in the UK with Nat West and RBS. The continued bank network failures over the years in the EU and the US were largely ignored as glitches.
Now the first chicken of the 2011 solvency crisis has come home to roost. Panama is down and are right now scrambling for solvency. Will they ask the Fed? Most likely. As Panama has always been a US intel hotspot.
This crisis is something that is not only being faced by the Panamanians but the Indians, Malaysians, Filipinos, Thai, and Indonesians. All nations that are being rocked by massive banking crisis. Why? Simple….the dollar is being killed you just have not felt the pain yet. Don't wait pull what you can NOW.
You Have Been Warned

New Port Richey, FL
Jerri Lynn
Hannah, Leanna & Caleb
Spiritual Background:
I became a believe in Jesus Christ in the fall 1993 at the age of 17.
I followed Jesus example and was Baptized in the spring 1995.
License and Ordination:
Licensed '96
Ordained '97
I was saved at the age of seventeen (fall 1993) as a result of the influence of some Christian friends. I was raised in a non-Christian home. I had always been taught if I wanted to go to heaven, I needed to do more good works than bad. My friends cared enough to tell me the truth that salvation comes only through and by Jesus Christ. From the time I was baptized (spring 1995) I became more and more interested in the Lord's work. I wanted to be involved in the work of the church. I began doing grounds work at the church, later taught a VBS class, and then became assistant superintendent of Sunday school. At the age of nineteen, four months after I married my wife and a few weeks after we learned we were expecting our first child, the Lord began dealing with my heart about preaching. Even though I felt inadequate and incapable, I surrendered shortly thereafter. As of March 3rd of 2011, I have been preaching His word for fifteen years. My wife and I have three children (all three have accepted Jesus and have been baptized). They are and always have been, I believe, my first and most important mission field. As they have grown, they have become, like my wife, a huge help in all that I am doing and a great asset to any ministry. I consider myself doctrinally sound and culturally relevant. I often say that we can change our methods of reaching people while holding onto the truth of God's word.

For these unbanked and underbanked audience, I feel the money transfer feature has a higher value/benefit than payment (mobile commerce) model. Because they are not looking to purchase their six pack of beer or clothes or pay for their mobile bill (as they are prepaid – maybe for refills but that is not a major revenue driver) using a mobile handset.
While I don't discount the potential of mobile commerce aspect, for this particular audience, money transfer becomes the primary drive followed by mobile commerce once MMT has penetrated significantly.
If we focus on money transfer –
Currently most of these are using Money Orders or Western Unions to transfer funds across. Even Paypal doesn't address their context in the most convenient way – bank authentication and email (which is not as prevalent as mobile).
Then how does one go about build a money transfer functionality for mobile? Well there are many ways of doing it as long as these constraints are taken into account. Here are some of my thoughts …..but have written detailed business concepts around this topic over the past year …..would love to discuss offline if there is interest ….
1. Security and Identity – build security or process in place to make sure that the person receiving the funds is the intended one. How do match someone's identity when there is NO social security card or government issued ID? This is a critical issue in most of the emerging and developing countries.
2. Eliminate Bank account or Operator dependency – This is very critical. One could start a service and do tie ups with Western Unions and Post offices. Post offices are practically in every village, nook or corner, across the world. If Post offices don't provide a reliable option, there are many other institutions that might save the day.
3. Make it purely mobile – no dependency on email or PC access – make it completely mobile as the target audience for such a feature might have not access to a PC or have an email account. In developing countries, mobile is lot more pervasive than email/PCs. Or at least make this optional for those who might want to benefit from it.
4. Business Model – how do you make money? There are couple of ways of doing that – You can take the "build the dependency to become a crucial backbone for this use case and make money around this experience" model OR charge your user's directly. Considering the demographic you are going after, second option might not be the best one ….
I have ran across few companies that are focusing on these aspects but are struggling to build the critical mass and traction ….. at the end of the day this is NOT a technology problem – it is identifying those "change agents" who could make mobile money transfer pervasive in the target demographic ………it is a marketing maven's challenge to transfer the value and emotion to the target audience.

Hey guys!
It's that time again. Time to vote for one of the most swoon worthy characters out there! Time for Jennifer L. Armentrout's characters to rock the YA Crush Tourney hosted by The YA Sisterhood. I already warned you about today's match, when Aiden (The Covenant) fights against Dimitri (Vampire Academy). It's a tough one, I know, but it's time for someone else to shine and Aiden is perfect for the job. Actually, he's perfect, period.
If Kayleigh's (Aiden's advocate in the #YACrushTourney) post wasn't enough for you all (did you catch the "intense storm colored eyes that turn to shades of silver when he feels strong emotions" part? Or that he can control the element Fire and he's super fierce and protective??"), then how about a few extras? Let me give you a few convincing quotes (I'll do my best to be brief, but I'm not making any promises here):
The grin increased to a full smile. And… oh, man. He had dimples. The air in my lungs died. "I remember you, too." (Half-Blood, pg. 141) *fans self*
Aiden stepped forward, his eyes were so bright and so warm. I wanted to forget about everything and fall into those eyes. Carefully, he reached out and with those fingers, he tucked back the strand of hair that always ended up in my face. I shivered, unable to help it. "There is nothing wrong with hope, Alex." (Half-Blood, pg. 293) (so supportive!) *melts*
Aiden gave me one of his rare smiles. Every cell in my body warmed. I even forgot about the terrible thing I was training for. His smile had that kind of impact. (Half-Blood, pg. 299)
[...]his arms circled my shoulders. Slowly, carefully, I rested my head against his chest. My hands fell to the curve of his back and I inhaled deeply. His scent, a mixture of the sea and soap, filed me. The steady beat of his heart under my cheek warmed and comforted me. It was just a hug, but gods, it meant so much. It meant everything. [...] "You don't have anything to worry about, Alex. I'm not going to let anything happen to you." *sigh* He's so caring and protective! (Half-Blood, pg. 339)
He moved, ever so slightly, and his lips brushed across mine once, and then twice. It was such a soft, beautiful kiss, but when the kiss deepened, it wasn't a shy one. This was one of dangerously pent-up need, a desire that'd been denied far too long. The kiss felt fierce, demanding, and soul burning....[...] Every place our bodies touched, sparks flew. Aiden puled his lips away from mine, and I made a sound of protest, but then his mouth trailed across my throat and to the base of my neck. My skin burned and my thoughts were on fire. His name was barely a whisper, but I felt his lips curve against my skin... (Half-Blood, pg. 341)
*gets distracted by this particular scene for a while*
*clears throat* Where was I? Oh. Right. And I'm still at the first book here. The second one (Pure), is much more exciting and intense and heartbreaking and powerful and, well, spoilery, but I'll give you the highlights:
"You're incredibly intelligent, Alex. Funny and…" "Pretty?" I supplied, only half-serious. "No, not pretty." "Cute?" "No." I frowned. "Well, then." Aiden's laugh sent shivers through me. "I was going to say 'stunning.' You're stunningly beautiful." (Kindle edition, pg 115 )
"Ever since I've met you, I've wanted to break every rule." Aiden turned away, the muscles in his neck tensing. He sighed. "You'll become the center of someone's world one day. And he'll be the luckiest son of a bitch on this earth." (pg. 122)
Umm.... Remember how I didn't promise I'd be brief? Anyway, here's something from Aiden's POV. :D
My hands tightened on her shoulders. And a part of me— all of me—wanted to take her away, from all of this. Without really thinking, I pulled her against me and tried to come up with something to prove to her that she was going to be okay. But then she placed her head against my chest and I stopped breathing. (Half-Blood, Chapter 16, YA Heroine Tourney incentive)
"You don't have anything to worry about, Alex. I'm not going to let anything happen to you." The moments those words left my mouth, I knew I'd crossed some invisible line that I could never, ever go back from. They weren't just words. They were an oath that I'd keep true to the end of my days. (Half-Blood, Chapter 16, YA Heroine Tourney incentive)
The quick inhale drew my attention, and I looked at her. She was so godsdamn beautiful, it hurt to look at her sometimes, and she didn't even have a clue. Muscles in my stomach tightened. That pressure increased. I sucked in a deep breath of air and it went nowhere. (Pure, car/zoo scene, YA Crush Tourney incentive)
Clasping her cheeks, my mouth found hers as her hands settled against my chest. My heart was beating like I was a sixteen-year-old kissing a girl for the first time. Ridiculous, but she had that kind of effect on me. Always had. The kiss wasn't gentle or soft. There wasn't a questioning nature to it. I took her into me, because I wanted her. Wanted her more than I'd ever wanted anything in my life, and gods, there were so many things that I wanted, but she took the top spot and she stayed there. (Pure, car/zoo scene, YA Crush Tourney incentive)
Ok, I'll stop now. But do you see what I mean when I say Dimitri, who?:))
*Thanks Jennifer L. Armentrout for the quotes and incentives and thanks Christina (Bibliophile Mystery) for helping me with picking the quotes.;)
And because we're all about #TeamJLA today, we have to support Daemon from the Lux series as well. He's against Peeta (The Hunger Games), but Val (Stuck In Books) does a great job at telling you why you should vote for Daemon (but, c' mon, who doesn't love Daemon Black?!)

I cleaned out a drawer today that seemed to contain every card or note I've received during my time in China, including from Christmas, International Women's Day (did you know there was such a thing?), Teacher's Day, Thanksgiving, random notes from students, and of course, birthday cards.
When I turned 23 we went to an Indian restaurant and Anna asked my friends to write down some advice for me. I then had to guess who said each thing. I saved a few of them and they made me smile as I read through them and remembered, and I thought you might enjoy them, too.

Price: $65,000.00
Quantity: 1 available
4to. [24], 79, [1] pp. [Collation]: †4, †4, †4, A-K4. Engraved title and engraved portrait of the author by Cesare Bassano, both conjugate with text leaves. 4 large folding chiaroscuro woodcut plates printed in black, dark red, and light red; occasional light spotting or foxing. Pages 75-78 showing a neatly closed tear. Original full vellum; upper corner showing a bit, some minor cover stains, but very well preserved in the original binding. Bottom fore-edge: early manuscript inscription representing the title ["Aselli De lactibus ..."]. Very good copy. FIRST EDITION: "Records the discovery of the lacteal vessels. Aselli's book has also the distinction of including the FIRST ANATOMICAL PLATES PRINTED IN COLOURS (FOUR CHIAROSCURO WOODCUTS, 16" x 10")." – Garrison and Morton. "Aselli ..., who had been a pupil of Fallopius, practiced as a surgeon in Milan. There he continued his anatomic research and wrote in a more dynamic manner and with greater physiologic insight than has his predecessors, whose approach had been essentially teleologic and descriptive. Although Aselli's notebooks and jottings for lectures have never been published, he is renowned for this small volume, which was published two years after his death at the age of forty-five. 'The book records his chance discovery of the lacteal vessels in 1622 while he was displaying the mesenteric nerves of a dog at an anatomic demonstration. In this fed animal, he noted a network of mesenteric vessels that contained a whitish fluid. Because such engorgement was absent in a fasting animal, he concluded that it was related to recent feeding. "Writing before the publication of Harvey's work on the circulation, Aselli maintained that the liver was the center of the venous system and believed, as did Galen, that the intestinal veins carried chyle to the liver. Harvey knew that the Galenic account was wrong and remained skeptical about the existence of lacteals; the contradiction was cleared away when Jean Pecquet announced his discovery of the thoracic duct in 1651. "In his text, which comprises thirty-five chapters, Aselli took up the intestines in general, their veins, arteries, nerves, and a 'fourth, new kind' of vessels. He explained why he had named the vessels and asked why they remained undiscovered for so long. He presented their anatomy in great detail and wondered whether they were supplied with chyle or blood. He also described the transit of chyle to the liver and discussed the contribution of the new vessels to the formation of blood. "The book was illustrated with a copperplate portrait of the author at the age of forty-two, when he made his discovery, and with four large foldout plates showing the lacteals in animal dissections. These are most remarkable woodcuts, both for their display of the dissections and for the method in which they were produced. . . The Aselli plates were the first colored illustrations in an anatomic text." – Lilly-LeFanu, Notable Medical Books, p. 61. PROVENANCE: Rubber-stamp of Doctor Mario E. Spada, a 20th century surgeon.

The 21st Century has been a particularly good era for television so far. As you well know by now, we're living in the thick of a Second Golden Age for TV, and we have been for a while. And as you've probably heard if you follow any TV critics on Twitter, we're also in the midst of "Peak TV." So not only is TV really good right now, there's a lot of it out there. If there's a downside to that, it's that there's literally too much television for any one person to watch. However, one of the less-often discussed upsides is the rise of Horror TV programming, an often bone-dry landscape that has absolutely flourished over the last two decades.
Of course, horror and genre-themed shows have been hits long before the turn of the century, and a lot of it was excellent. However, as with all of television at the moment, never has there been more of it and never has there been such a commitment to production value and fearlessness of storytelling. In short, it's a very, very good time to like serialized scares — which also means there's plenty of good stuff that didn't make the cut.
Some of the runners-up: Scream, MTV's serialized adaptation of the Wes Craven slasher classic, which is fun but too focused on teen drama; Scream Queens, Ryan Murphy's cheeky but slightly-too-bitchy slasher series; The Returned, a lovely remake of a superior series but a remake of a superior series all the same; Fear the Walking Dead, AMC's The Walking Dead sibling series, which outshines the original in character drama but skimps on the horror beats.
As for what you'll see on the list, we're sticking to live-action, scripted programming that began after the year 2000. Which means that though Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The X-Files technically ran into the 21st Century, but they are very much products of the '90s.

Angelina Jolie is calling on the international community to help refugees in Syria and Iraq. The Unbroken director visited refugee camp near Dohuk, Iraq on Sunday, and wrote about her experiences in an op-ed for The New York Times, in which she called on more to be done. "For many years I have visited camps, and every time, I sit in a tent and hear stories. I try my best to give support," Jolie wrote. "To say something that will show solidarity and give some kind of thoughtful guidance. On this trip I was speechless." See more The Scene at Sundance Film Festival 2015 Jolie, who is known for her activism, recounted meeting a crying mother who said her daughter was kidnapped by ISIS, and that she wished she was with her, even if it meant being tortured or raped.

See more Next Gen at Sundance: Inside The Party With Hailee Steinfeld, Emile Hirsch Jolie, who is a special envoy of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, wrote that "more assistance" was needed to help countires bordering Syria aid the refugees.

"And above all, the international community as a whole has to find a path to a peace settlement," Jolie wrote.

Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk said he will speak to Puerto Rico's governor about helping get the hurricane-hit island's power grid back online.
On Thursday, Musk tweeted that his company has built solar grids for many small islands, adding that there "is no scalability limit, so it can be done for Puerto Rico too."
Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello responded early Friday saying: "Let's talk today; I will be in touch."
Musk tweeted back saying that he would be "happy to talk."
Last month, Puerto Rico was badly hit by Hurricane Maria. Electricity is not up and running yet and millions of citizens are struggling without basic necessities.
Tesla makes the Powerpack storage battery, which it's deploying in other countries. For example, Musk won a contract from South Australia to install a 100 megawatt facility, which could power 30,000 homes.

United States District Court, D. Idaho
January 11, 2018
KENT WILLIAMS, Plaintiff,v.GUARD FOX, Defendant.
pending before the Court are motions to compel filed by both
parties, as well as a motion for sanctions filed by Plaintiff
and a motion for a protective order filed by Defendant.
Having fully reviewed the record, the Court finds that the
facts and legal arguments are adequately presented in the
briefs and record and that oral argument is unnecessary.
See D. Idaho Loc. Civ. R. 7.1. Accordingly, the
Court enters the following Order.
Defendant's Motion to Compel (Dkt. 74)
Defendant's Motion to Compel, Defendant seeks responses,
or supplementation to responses, to several interrogatories
and requests for production Defendant has propounded to
Plaintiff. Plaintiff has not opposed the Motion. Therefore,
Defendant's Motion will be granted.
30 days after entry of this Order, Plaintiff shall respond
to, or shall supplement his responses to, the following:
• Defendant's Interrogatory Nos. 1, 3, 4, 6, 10, and
• Defendant's Request for Production Nos. 1 through
Plaintiff's Motion to Compel (Dkt. 75) and
Defendant's Motion for Protective Order (Dkt.
In his
Motion to Compel, Plaintiff seeks discovery related to the
following broad categories: (1) video surveillance at the Ada
County Jail; (2) Defendant's personnel file and military
records; (3) information regarding the jail grievance policy
and documentation related to Defendant's training; (4)
the identities of inmates housed near Plaintiff at the time
of the incidents at issue; and (5) "internal memos,
E-mails and any written or electronic communications between
all staff" regarding Plaintiff's use of the
grievance process. Defendant seeks a protective order against
some of this discovery.
Discovery Requests Regarding Video Surveillance
asks the Court to compel responses from Defendant regarding
video surveillance of Plaintiff's cell that may have
captured the incidents at issue in this litigation. However,
Defendant stated in his response to Plaintiff's discovery
requests about the video surveillance was that the
surveillance was "not recorded or otherwise
saved" by the jail's surveillance system and later
informed Plaintiff that, to the extent that video the area
outside Plaintiff's cell may have been recorded at one
point-which Defendant did not know-any such recording
"no longer existed in any format." (Dkt. 76 at
has not submitted any evidence that Defendant erased any such
video surveillance or otherwise acted in any nefarious way
regarding that surveillance. That a video may have been taken
and no longer exists is insufficient for the Court to
conclude that Defendant destroyed or is withholding any such
surveillance. It is more likely that, in the time between the
incidents of which Plaintiff complains and the date he filed
this action, the video (if any) was disposed of in the manner
prescribed by jail policy-not because Defendant had any hand
is such disposition. Plaintiff's Motion to Compel with
respect to such surveillance, as set forth in Request Nos. 6,
7, 8, 9, 10 of the Motion, will be denied.
Plaintiff is not entitled to further information regarding
the surveillance system, Defendant's request for a
protective order against further discovery on that topic will
be granted.
Defendant's Personnel Records
Military Record
asks for production of Defendant's military personnel
record in Request No. 2 of Plaintiff's Motion. (Dkt. 75
at 5.) However, Plaintiff has not disputed Defendant's
statement that Plaintiff did not make a discovery request for
Defendant military records. (Dkt. 76 at 89; Dkt. 81.)
Therefore, Plaintiff is not entitled to production of
Defendant's military record.
Defendant's Jail Personnel File
seeks Defendant's personnel file in Request No. 1 of his
Motion to Compel. (Dkt. 75 at 5.) This request is the subject

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection that most commonly affects the lungs, but can also affect the lymph nodes, bones, joints and kidneys. It can cause meningitis.
Tuberculosis disease
In New Zealand, there are approximately 300 cases of TB diagnosed each year. While life-threatening complications such as haemorrhage from the lungs are now rare, TB can still be a very serious disease, particularly for older people.
Tuberculosis is spread through coughing, sneezing or spitting. The bacteria are carried into the air and people nearby can breathe them in through their mouths and noses.
You need to live or work closely with an infected person to catch the disease.
Tuberculosis can stay inactive in someone's body for many years before it develops. This is called latent tuberculosis infection. Even though you feel well and healthy, the doctor may still advise treatment to make sure you do not develop TB disease. Go to Latent tuberculosis to find out more.
TB can be treated with antibiotics. It's very important to finish the treatment or the disease will get worse again.
Tuberculosis vaccinations are normally only given to:
- babies at risk of catching TB from someone living in their house
- babies who are going to live in a country with a high rate of TB
- babies whose parents, household member or carer have in the last 6 months lived in a country with a high rate of TB.

Guidelines and reviews related to tuberculosis.
People with tuberculosis don't always show symptoms. If you're healthy, your body can usually stop the TB bacteria from growing.
Symptoms of TB can be similar to other illnesses. The most common symptoms are:
- a cough lasting 3 weeks or more, often with thick phlegm
- tiredness
- night sweats
- weight loss
- swollen glands (usually in your neck).
Coughing up blood is a widely known symptom of TB, but if this occurs, it will happen a long time after someone is infected.
If you think you may have TB, it's important to see your doctor. They can arrange tests to see if you're infected.
It's very important to finish the course of antibiotics, or the disease will get worse again.
TB is treated with a combination of antibiotics, which need to be taken for at least 6 months. Sometimes longer courses are needed, such as for TB meningitis.
People usually begin to feel better 2–4 weeks after starting treatment.
You can't catch TB from a person who has been taking the antibiotics for 2 weeks or more.
Immunisation for babies
Babies at risk of catching tuberculosis can be given the BCG (Bacille Calmette-Guérin) immunisation when they're born.
If you're pregnant, your lead maternity carer will assess the risk of TB for your baby. They'll ask questions like:
- Will your baby be living in a house with a person who has TB or has a history of TB?
- During their first 5 years, will your baby be living for 3 months or longer in a country with a high TB rate?
- Within the last 5 years, has a parent or carer or the baby, or household member, lived for 6 months or longer in a country with a high TB rate?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, your baby is eligible for the BCG immunisation.
Which countries have a high TB rate?
In general, the following places are considered to have a high TB rate (≥ 40 per 100,000):
- most of Africa
- much of South America
- Russia and the former Soviet states
- Indian subcontinent
- China, including Hong Kong
- South East Asia (except Singapore)
- some Pacific nations (except Cook Islands, Niue, Samoa, Tokelau and Tonga).
Immunisation for other people
- Children under 5 years of age who are at risk of TB exposure are also eligible for BCG vaccine.
- In some circumstances the local Medical Officer of Health may also recommend BCG vaccination for specific populations.
Making a decision about immunisation
Most people who are vaccinated against TB develop a small blister around the injection site. Within 3 months this should heal and form a scar.
Risks associated with tuberculosis
TB can be a very serious disease, sometimes resulting in:
- major haemorrhage from the lungs (now rare)
- death (now rare, more likely in elderly people).
Risks associated with the BCG vaccine
- Are very rare – 387 out of 1 million infants may develop enlarged lymph nodes and a local abscess.

Polypores and more Polypores
Finally in these last weeks of March, we are getting nights without frost and I am starting to see a few other species other than polypores.
Now don't get me wrong, I have nothing against that whole family of fungi, as many of them have great healing powers and have been used by traditional healers for millennia.
Here are a few pictures of some very large artist conks that I found in Kinnikinnick Park last weekend…
The one on the top right, must have been at least 2 feet across and the same with the one on the lower left
In my recent daily wanderings, I have started to see some of the first soft bodied beauties peeking out of the moss and hidden under the edges of logs. What I have started to see is the Lichenomphalia umbellifera, or also known as the lichen agaric ..
The most common sighting this month is what I believe to be the Psathyrella gracilis group or the graceful Psathyrella..
But hold on for a minute…. I said in my last post that I would do a review of my newly acquired GPS!
What did I buy? – The Magellen eXplorist 310
Why this model? – First off, the price and secondly from on-line reviews, most reviewers preferred the Magellan line to the Garmin GPS's. Thirdly, the reviewers also stated that this was a good basic entry level unit and easy to use. That last reason, easy to use, maybe so for more technology savvy teenagers, but for us slightly older users, a much steeper learning curve.
Why buy a GPS at all? Primarily fear and embarrassment of getting lost in the woods and having to get the SCSAR come out and find me. Also,to give me more confidence in getting back home, especially when I am taking newbees in to the woods on forays. But to be totally honest, I have always wanted one so that when I find that bonanza patch of chanterelles, I can mark it as a way-point. You store the way-point in the GPS memory, then when you want to find the patch next year,you just have to retrieve the information and follow the track to where those beauties are likely to return. This trick I haven't tried, as I haven't found that bonanza patch of chanterelles yet.
How easy is it really to use? Well, the unit comes in a box, with two AA lithium batteries and a very short instruction manual… the quick start version. I guess for those more "technologically savvy teenagers" which basically tells you how to put the batteries in, but doesn't actually tell you were the on-off switch is.
After pushing several of the buttons on the front of the unit with no success, and thinking to myself, if you can't even turn the unit on, how will you use it to find your way home? I finally notice one of those "soft" switches on the top of the unit, the ones with the circle with a line through it, and the light went on!!!Press here.!!!
So it powers up and the screen lights up, then like most men, I started pushing buttons not knowing what I was doing or what the different screens meant.
Back to the basic instructions manual and I see that there is an on-line user manual I can access. Off I go to the web and find the manual… all 30 pages of it. It seems to me that any technology that needs a manual 30 pages long to instruct you how to use it, is not a good basic entry level tool.
The other thing is I guess I am kind of old school and find it easier to learn something from a book or manual held in my hand. However, because it saves many trees being killed, I embraced the e-manual and began to study it.
After several re-readings of the manual, I figured out how to turn it on and of and how input my name and phone number in the unit (I guess if they find the unit next to your bleached or possibly moss covered bones they can pop in a new set of batteries and find out who you are).
More study and I then learned which buttons were pressed first and which next to get the map, the compass, setting a new track, setting way points and then how to retrace your track back home. Also, I purposely took the wrong turn to learn what the unit does to tell you, "you are lost!". The track changes colour and the little arrow on the map that shows your position, goes from green to red. To get back on track, you turn around and head in the direction the arrow now points. Once back on the right track, the arrow turns green. Kind of simple, but effective.
There is also an alarm that you can turn on to indicate when you are off course or close to a pre-set way point. I need to do more reading and experimenting before I learn how to turn that function on.
Overall opinion – generally, I think it will be a great tool to use, once I get used to it and finally understand all the functionality built into the unit.
The down side is the small, screen, which is only 2.5 inches by 2.5 inches. My old eyes are not that good anymore, however, there is a zoom function when in the map mode, so that way you can zoom in and zoom out to get a better perspective of your terrain.
The unit has a very good compass, that includes the position of the sun and moon on the screen to help you get oriented even deep in the woods or on a gloomy rainy day. If all you need is a compass and a map, then you have a very expensive one, but cool.
Also included is a very good altimeter, odometer and trip timer to clock your distance, speed and change in altitude.
After three weeks of ownership, I am getting less frustrated with the technology and more enamored with the functionality.
In conclusion, I now think it was a good choice and as I learn more of the functionality, I will let you know.

5 Things You Need to Know Before Hiring a Homework Company Via the Internet
Anyone can get paid to do homework online these days. This sounds like a great idea because it means you have plenty of options to choose from when finding homework help websites. But before you pay someone to do your tasks, you have to look at what goes into a homework company. This is all about choosing the right people to do business with. There are five things in particular that you need to understand when it comes to getting help from a homework company.
- Ask about the subjects someone can handle.
- Review the grade levels of individual people.
- Look at how well a team completes its tasks.
- See how a team completes things in a unique way.
- See what additional services are available.
Look at how well homework help websites can take care of tasks in a variety of subjects. Some of these sites work well with math projects. Others focus on English or writing assignments. See that any team you want to do business with can help you with the specific subject you need to have completed.
Any pay someone to do my homework team could help you with a task but you do not want to go overboard. Look at how educated the people on a team are. Stick with professionals who are of the same grade level as you. If you are a college undergraduate then work with someone who is experienced at an undergraduate level. Don't bother with doctorate tutors or homework helpers unless you actually are a doctorate student.
See how a homework planner can finish a task for you. Look at how that person can finish a task in a professional and carefully organized manner. This is to give you the assistance you demand for making your task work out right.
A planner must show individual steps on how a task is completed. Ask about how these are finished so your homework will look more realistic and detailed. This is also to help you understand what makes certain tasks easier to complete on your own.
Anyone who can get paid to do homework would have to put in a significant amount of effort when completing a task. The process must be completed in a unique and distinct manner. In other words, a homework helper should not copy anyone else's work.
You must work with someone who is going to produce a distinct project for you without sounding like anyone else. This is especially important if you have a writing task that must be completed. A helper should give you the precise assistance you need without being rough.
You have to see how certain services from a planner are available. These include such services as live tutoring or communication features where you can get in direct contact with someone who can help you with a certain subject. This could help you figure out what can come about when getting a task finished. The personalized help you out get in this case will go a long way towards providing you with the answers you need for any subject of desire to you.
You could also ask for revisions if needed. You might even ask for professional notes. Anything a team can do to add to the services available for your use is always welcome. Check around to see how well your homework efforts could be handled and that they are not too complicated or hard to follow.
It should not be tough to find a homework planner if you look carefully. Good luck in your efforts for finding a talented professional who can assist you with finishing a task.

Romans 13: What does it really mean?
Romans Chapter 13, verses 1 through 7, from the Authorized King James text:
"Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor."
What does the word power(s) really mean? It means freedom, liberties, [God given] rights = Constitution for Americans, or authority.
Who are the rulers in the USA? We the people!
Government agents are quick to point out: "Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's;" This does not mean submit unconditionally. It just mean give back whatever things doesn't belongs to you. Government agents always skip the second phrase: "and unto God the things that are God's."
Christians are commanded to love their "neighbors" as themselves. This is the second most important law of God. When the government terrorizes your neighbor and no do nothing because of your misunderstanding of Romans 13. Are you acting like the lawyer and Pharisee in the story that Jesus explained who is your neighbor.
From: Brother Gregory Williams (NewsWithViews.com)
"In any unabridged English dictionary the word power can have over a dozen different definitions. The question is which of these many definitions should we apply to our thinking when we read these words of Paul? Does it mean the authority of government, the power to act, or the right to choose?
To understand Paul we simply need to know what the word Paul actually used and what it truly means within the context of the Bible. The word translated into power in Romans 13 is one of more than half a dozen Greek words which are all translated into the single English word power within the New Testament.
The Greek word used in Romans 13 by Paul is exousia, which is defined: "power of choice, liberty of doing as one pleases." It is translated "right" in Hebrews 13:10 and Revelations 22:14, and it is even translated "liberty" in Paul's own 1Corinthians 8:9.
Everywhere in the original text of the Bible the translation of exousia as liberty or right would fit the context of scripture. One may translate it as power, but only in the sense of the power of choice. Most modern ministers might object to this conclusion and no one should merely take my word for this interpretation. What is the opinion of others concerning the word exousia? Does it mean the power of government, or the power of choice?
There should be no question that the word exousia in the original text means power in the sense of "the right to choose" or "liberty of choice." And if so, then Romans 13 should be read and understood as saying:
"Let every soul be subject unto the higher liberty. For there is no liberty but of God: the liberties that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the liberty, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the liberty? Do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same." Romans 13: 1,3
From: Chuck Baldwin on NewsWithViews.com
For Americans, this is how Romans Chapter 13 reads to Americans:
"Let every soul be subject unto the [U.S. Constitution.] For there is no [Constitution] but of God: the [Constitution] that be [is] ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the [Constitution], resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For [the Constitution is] not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the [Constitution]? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For [the Constitution] is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for [the Constitution] beareth not the sword in vain: for [the Constitution] is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For this cause pay ye tribute also: for [the Constitution is] God's minister, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor."
Roman 13
Proverb 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogance, and the evil way, and the perverse mouth, do I hate.
Should Christians follow rules blindly? Are all authorities including totalitarian governments ordained by God? Is it a sin to refuse orders of corrupt and evil rulers? Don't forget the government in the USA is We the people!
First of all, false authority is not of God. The world is controlled by Satan because God allowed it. Human governments are ruled by Satan. Government at the top is controlled by Satan. Satan tempted Jesus about giving Him all the cities [Matthew 4:8-9]. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely–Evil in high places. Then are all governments ordained and blessed by God? When the Antichrist setups up his throne and command Christians to do ungodly things, should Christians do it? Do God's laws or man's laws have the utmost authority in the minds of Christians?
In the Book of Judges, the Israelites were under the rule of other countries such as at the time of Samson was ruled by the Philistines. God raised up judges to deliver the Israelites from their oppressors. Why then does God ordained the Israelitess oppressors and have to raise the judges to deliver the Israelites from their oppressors? Won't the "deliverer" be a traitor, committed treason against God's anointed? We know the judges were ordained by God because the Bible said so. Are our current patriots resisting against their tyrant government ordained by God? We don't know but God does. If you don't know, don't judge.
Why did Jesus tell the disciples to pay taxes and Jesus didn't overthrow the Romans? The sole purpose of Jesus' first coming was to die on the cross to save souls. There were lots of problem that needed to be solved at that time. He did the will of the Father and priority one was to be crucified on the cross to save all who would believe on Him. If Jesus overthrew the Romans, he would not have been crucified. The whole purpose of the cross is gone. But on Jesus' second coming, He will overthrow not just the Romans but the world! He is man's avenger of blood since no one since Adam can do the job. Jesus is the Lord of Hosts, i.e. Captain of God's army. He is a fighter. He overturned the money changers' tables in the temple and whipped them out of the temple.
When the Chinese government created laws to persecute Christians for their faith, home churches, and evangelize to their neighbors as the Lord command all Christians to do, are the Chinese Christians disobeying God because they disobeyed the Chinese government? If there's a contradiction, your interpretation of the Bible is wrong. Pray for the Holy Spirit to humble your heart and ask for wisdom and discernment.
Can Christians carry weapons and fight back?
We can look in Luke to see what Jesus said:
Luke 22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that has a purse, let him take it, and likewise his bag: and he that has no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
Luke 22:37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have a fulfillment.
Luke 22:38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.
Throughout the Bible, God's children are at enmity with the rulers of the world. For example:
– AntiChrist sets up one world government, make laws to take mark of the beast and to worship him. Whoever doesn't worship him will be killed. Will Christians carry out the executions?
*prophets were killed and hanged by kings in the Old Testament
– Elijah fought against Jezebel & Ahad
– Isaiah was sawed in half by orders of the king
– John the Baptist was beheaded
– Moses in Egypt (challenge Pharaoh)
– Babylonian Captivity (Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to bow)
– Daniel was thrown in the lion den for breaking law on worship of God
– 12 disciples were persecuted wherever they preached
– Peter was crucified upside-down
– Paul was beheaded (Saul the Benjamite) – Pharisee with power to stone Stephen
– Most of them died from persecution because they disobeyed men's laws
– Founding Fathers of America defied England (British agents teach all US military and Police officers that they were terrorists because of Romans 13) [the USA corporation arm is really controlled by the Queen and owned by the Vatican]
– If all governments are ordained by God, why do they fight each other?
– Stalin, Hitler, and Mao used Romans 13 to control Christians to accept and go along with their agenda. Christians were waiting for the Pre-trib Rapture and did nothing, so they got killed or gassed.
(In US 2007, 26k false preachers were recruited by the Feds and FEMA to tell their flocks to submit to the government no matter how bad they are!)
Dan 3:10 You, O king, have made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image:
Dan 3:11 And whosoever falls not down and worships, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
Dan 3:12 There are certain Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded you: they serve not your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up.
Dan 6:12 Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's decree; have you not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any god or man within thirty days, except of you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which alters not.
Dan 6:13 Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regards not you, O king, nor the decree that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day.
Act 5:29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Hitler used Romans 13 and Rapture to put Brown Skin Jews into concentration camps
Pharisees with power over the people:
Mat 26:59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
Act 8:3 As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and dragging off men and women committed them to prison.
Act 9:2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
Act 22:4 And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
Act 22:5 As also the high priest does bear me witness, and all the council of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them who were there bound unto Jerusalem, to be punished.
Act 22:20 And when the blood of your martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the clothing of them that slew him.
Act 5:17 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,
Act 5:18 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
Act 5:19 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,
Act 5:20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
Act 5:21 And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
Joh 18:3 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
Joh 18:4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek you?
Mar 14:43 And immediately, while he yet spoke, came Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

For Christmas I got a fun new studio setup! A stand, some seamless paper, a light stand and an umbrella. It came yesterday as I was walking out the door for a party - today I was home with three wild and crazy kids getting ready for a dinner party - but there was a 20 minute window where I got it set up and was able to get a few pictures of my girls :) I can't wait to play some more!!!
It was funny - my middle child wanted NOTHING to do with this - she kept saying - I want to watch Backyardigans. And my oldest kept saying - can I see the pictures now. I think I got a few good ones though :)

Two years later
I took the little ones to the library because I was off from work. Mikey was insane - but it was fun. Lately I have been trying to re-catalog all my pictures from over the years - So I was going through 2008, and I stumbled upon pictures that were taken December 23rd, 2008. What a difference two years makes!
Here is my Hayden!
And my little man - wow!
I can't believe this was two years ago!

Poor Baby
My little man got scratched in the eye today :( pretty bad too. I love that he is able to rat on the kids that do it - it makes me laugh. Because of that - I found out he is a rat! They said that if a kid does something to another kid - he runs and says "So and So did it".
Look at those teary eyes. He kept saying Owie - Kiss it. I love that boy.
Look at those teary eyes. He kept saying Owie - Kiss it. I love that boy.
So - after having to load and unload the kids because the prescription wasn't ready - and we had to go back, knowing it's going to be a pricey ordeal - I needed this. I processed them all with Florabella - I put the action underneath the picture. They were all taken with my 35mm, 100 ISO, 1/4 SS, f/2.0 on a tri-pod.
Rich Vintage
Vintage Chocolate
I couldn't decide which one I liked more - so I kept them all.

Because I want to remember
Today I am posting because it's days like this I want to remember.
I want to remember Mikey's love for his train set. Where he could spend all his free time taking trains and cars to the track.
Ahhh - My middle child - Hay - need I say more - this picture pretty well describes her!
I love this one. Our shake n' go cars, next to our Little People Baby Jesus and Mother Mary. I love the expression and processing of this image.
The sweet innocence that still surrounds my oldest.
Them wanting to take pictures like Mommy.
That instant gratification of the picture on the back of the screen.
I hope they continue their love of photography!

He's bent design rules, redefined classical aesthetics and made the rather forgotten traditions of some British handicrafts fashionable again.
"I studied fashion at London's Central St Martin's," he reveals. "This institution enhances every students' imagination and encourages them to experiment, which is something that I've carried forward in my career as a designer. I also believe that this invaluable training allowed me to diversify into other forms of design and move away from fashion into products and interiors."
Lee was born in Birmingham in 1976, and his childhood in the Midlands was surrounded by theatre, art and design. "I was at theatre school for a decade from the age of seven, and I was working as a professional actor during that period, performing in many TV shows and theatrical productions," he recalls. As a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company from the age of nine and having an artist for a father, he became particularly attracted to architecture. "I imagined the sets of the plays we were working on. I have very vivid memories of drawing the house I thought I would live in when I was older and creating the interiors for it."
The former Vivienne Westwood intern had a clear vision when he graduated in 2000. "Everyone was looking for that dream job," he recalls of his final-year class. "However, I wanted to work for myself rather than another brand, so the plan was to start my own fashion label."
Fate had other things in mind. To support himself during the final years of university, Lee advised bar and restaurant owners how they could enhance their interiors. His advice became sought after for a number of small projects, and in 2002 he was invited to design hip nightclub Nylon from concept through to completion.
"I enlisted the help of my college friend Maki Aoki and we set about designing this huge venue," he recalls. The nine-month-long project was akin to an intensive training course in interiors yet on a live project. When the venue opened to rave reviews and won awards, the duo were inundated with more interior design projects. "Although I didn't end up opening my own fashion label, I did end up starting my own design business, Makilee, with Maki in 2003. Like I said, for me it was more important to be working for myself and so that dream was beginning to unfold."
In 2006 Maki moved back to Japan and Lee went solo under his own name. This time, he didn't want to restrict himself to designing solely interiors. In 2007, he launched his first furniture and lighting range and through his work traditional British crafts such as carpetry and parquetry found a new, global audience. "I guess I'm one of those designers that likes to bring a lot of British energy into their designs. I love to work with British crafts people, I love the traditions of this country, and I also love the modernity of London, and this informs my thought process as a designer." His hand-cut crystal and brass masterpiece, the Crystal Bulb, went on to achieve cult status amongst design aficionados after its launch in 2012, firmly establishing him as the pin-up boy for British manufacturing. With more than 75 furniture and lighting products sold in over 120 stores in 40 countries, and 24 awards (including the career-defining British Designer of the Year Award 2012), when he received the Queen's Award for Enterprise – the UK's highest accolade for business success – in 2015, the distinction was certainly well warranted.

"As a nation and as designers we sometimes struggle to take our creative innovations into the market," he comments. "So I admire designers such as Sir Terrence Conran, Paul Smith, Tom Dixon and Kelly Hoppen for being credible designers, creating their own niche, achieving success and flying our flag overseas."
Touring Lee's refurbished Renfrew Road abode in south-east London, the designer's flair is evident in his approach to the distinct building. "I never liked the idea of living in a regular house or apartment, which is why I chose to live in a fire station," he laughs. The building is the oldest fire station in London and Lee fell in love with its industrial attributes. Original ceramic wall tiles and huge steel beams run across his home, creating several different levels that he has deftly adapted into an eclectic living space. "When I first moved in there was not enough natural light, so I brought down as many walls as I could, created a skylight and opened up the windows as much as planning guidelines would allow." The previous owner had hidden all the original industrial details and architectural features. It took Lee six months to gut the space and appoint it to its present glory, complete with a cinema room made from a space that was originally filled in with rubble.
Lee works on many projects overseas, including in the Middle East. In addition to his furniture and lighting designs anointing many of the region's iconic commercial venues, he enjoys working on many prestigious residential projects in the UAE. "I am a city boy, so every opportunity to travel to the UAE excites me," he says. "Initiatives like Dubai Design & Fashion Council and Dubai Design District have the potential to elevate the region's credibility in the years to come.
"There is a real energy in that part of the world that I admire, and an enthusiasm for newness and for culture," adds the designer, whose deft hand at presenting tradition anew made him an ideal choice as a judge of the 2015 edition of the Harper's Bazaar Interiors Awards. "I hope the creative community there keeps it authentic and keeps it real. My advice would be not to emulate European design too much, but create your own niche instead."

This is the excellent foppery of the world, that when we are sick in fortune (often the surfeits of our own behaviour) we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and stars: as if we were villains on necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and treacherous by spherical predominance; drunkards, liars, and adulterers by an enforced obedience of planetary influence; and all that we are evil in, by a divine thrusting on. An admirable evasion of whoremaster man, to lay his goatish disposition on the charge of a star! ~William Shakespeare

The vast majority, who believe in astrology and think that the planets have nothing better to do than form a code that will tell them whether tomorrow is a good day to close a business deal or not, become all the more excited and enthusiastic about the bilge when a group of astronomers denounces it. ~Isaac Asimov
Astrologers are agreed that the squiggles called a horoscope contain some sort of message to be decoded... ~Dennis Elwell
I know that astrology isn't a science... Of course it isn't. It's just an arbitrary set of rules like chess or tennis.... The rules just kind of got there. They don't make any kind of sense except in terms of themselves. But when you start to exercise those rules, all sorts of processes start to happen and you start to find out all sorts of stuff about people. In astrology the rules happen to be about stars and planets, but they could be about ducks and drakes for all the difference it would make. It's just a way of thinking about a problem which lets the shape of that problem begin to emerge. The more rules, the tinier the rules, the more arbitrary they are, the better. It's like throwing a handful of fine graphite dust on a piece of paper to see where the hidden indentations are. It lets you see the words that were written on the piece of paper above it that's now been taken away and hidden. The graphite's not important. It's just the means of revealing their indentations. So you see, astrology's nothing to do with astronomy. It's just to do with people thinking about people. ~Douglas Adams, Mostly Harmless
The cosmos is a vast living body, of which we are still parts. The sun is a great heart whose tremors run through our smallest veins. The moon is a great nerve center from which we quiver forever.

Mercury passed among the ancients for the planet of intelligence and science.... Venus... has been considered, time immemorial, the planet of love. She owes her name to her splendour, for she appears the most brilliant planet of any to the inhabitants of our globe.

But the heavenly bodies are, doubtless, governed by laws totally unknown to us, and inexplicable either by attractive or centrifugal powers... ~J.B.H. de Saint-Pierre, "Harmonies of the Sun and Planets," 1815
A mind is accustomed to mathematical deduction, when confronted with the faulty foundations of astrology, resists a long, long time, like an obstinate mule, until compelled by beating and curses to put its foot into that dirty puddle. ~Johannes Kepler
Look you, Doubloon, your zodiac here is the life of man in one round chapter. To begin: there's Aries, or the Ram - lecherous dog, he begets us; then, Taurus, or the Bull - he bumps us the first thing; then Gemini, or the Twins - that is, Virtue and Vice; we try to reach Virtue, when lo! comes Cancer the Crab, and drags us back; and here, going from Virtue, Leo, a roaring Lion, lies in the path - he gives a few fierce bites and surly dabs with his paw; we escape, and hail Virgo, the virgin! that's our first love; we marry and think to be happy for aye, when pop comes Libra, or the Scales - happiness weighed and found wanting; and while we are very sad about that, Lord! how we suddenly jump, as Scorpio, or the Scorpion, stings us in rear; we are curing the wound, when come the arrows all round; Sagittarius, or the Archer, is amusing himself. As we pluck out the shafts, stand aside! here's the battering-ram, Capricornus, or the Goat; full tilt, he comes rushing, and headlong we are tossed; when Aquarius, or the Waterbearer, pours out his whole deluge and drowns us; and, to wind up, with Pisces, or the Fishes, we sleep. ~Herman Melville

At the moment I am looking into astrology, which seems indispensable for a proper understanding of mythology. There are strange and wondrous things in these lands of darkness.

Responsibility, n. A detachable burden easily shifted to the shoulders of God, Fate, Fortune, Luck or one's neighbor. In the days of astrology it was customary to unload it upon a star. ~Ambrose Bierce
Astrology is a fact, in most instances. But astrological aspects are but signs, symbols. No influence is of greater value or of greater help than the will of an individual.... Do not attempt to be guided by, but use the astrological influences as the means to meet or to overcome the faults and failures, or to minimize the faults and to magnify the virtues in self. ~Edgar Cayce
Astrology furnishes a splendid proof of the contemptible subjectivity of men. It refers the course of celestial bodies to the miserable ego: it establishes a connection between the comets in heaven and squabbles and rascalities on earth. ~Arthur Schopenhauer
The puzzling thing is that there is really a curious coincidence between astrological and psychological facts, so that one can isolate time from the characteristics of an individual, and also, one can deduce characteristics from a certain time.... ~Carl Jung

The Wall Street Journal (Wednesday December 10, 2008, B3) ran the following: "It is not just a supply shock,' Mr. Timmer said. 'It is not just a reduction in demand, but it is the lack of availability of credit.' Deutsche Bank, in a forecast issued this week was even more pessimistic. It said global growth would drop to 0.2 percent in 2009, with the United States, Europe, and Japan in recessions of roughly equal severity."
It continued: "China, which grew 11.9 percent in 2007, will slow to 7 percent next year, the bank projects, and 6.6 percent in 2010, when the rest of the world is slowly recovering. It's not going to be the spark that reignites global demand,' said Thomas Mayer, the chief European economist for Deutsche Bank. 'We're almost in an air pocket, where we don't have a new global driver of growth."
Today (December 24, 2008), Thomas Friedman says: "Our present crisis is not just a financial meltdown crying out for a cash injection. We are in much deeper trouble. IN fact, we as a country have become General Motors – as a result of our national drift. Look in the mirror: G.M. is us.
"That's why we don't just need a bailout. We need a reboot. We need a build out. We need a buildup. We need a national makeover. That is why the next few months are among the most important in U.S. history. Because of the financial crisis, Barack Obama has the bipartisan support to spend $1 trillion in stimulus. But we must make certain that every bailout dollar, which we're borrowing from our kids' future, is spent wisely."(NYT Wednesday, December 24, 2008, A 25).
Friedman then goes on to enumerate how stimulus dollars should go into teachers, educating scientists and engineers, research, productivity enhancing infra-structure – and not into pork. He estimates that "America still has the right stuff to thrive. We still have the most creative, diverse, innovative culture and open society…"
But, is that true? And notice the materialistic mind-set that he exposes. The key will be the money that could be spent. But in his estimation, it must be spent in the right direction; that if it is spent on the right educational "stuff," our culture has the imagination and the generating power of new ideas to restart scientific and technological "progress" in the direction of new "change." And, therefore, prosperity and world-leadership.
The Distinction Between "Progress" and 'Hope"
In re-reading Ratzinger's "To Look on Christ – Exercises in Faith, Hope, and Love," his struggle with the discrepancy between "optimism" and "hope" stands out in my mind. Ratzinger's relationship with Ernst Bloch (theoretical Marxist) moved him to the following reflection:
"It dawned on me as the result of this reading that 'optimism' is the theological virtue of a new god and a new religion, the virtue of deified history, of a god 'history,' and thus of the great god of modern ideologies and their promise. This promise is utopia, to be realized by means of the 'revolution,' which for its part represents a kind of mythical godhead, as it were a 'God the son' in relation to the 'God the father' of history. … Corresponding to this is the fact that in the new religion 'pessimism' is the sin of all sins, for to doubt optimism, progress, utopia is a frontal attack on the spirit of the modern age: it is to dispute its fundamental creed on which its security rests, even though this is always under threat in view of the weakness of the sham god of history."
Ratzinger then goes into the indignation that "The Ratzinger Report" sparked because it was considered "pessimistic." "In many places efforts were made to stop its being sold, because a heresy of this magnitude simply could not be tolerated. The molders of public opinion placed it on the index of forbidden books: the new inquisition let its strength be felt. It showed once again that there is no worse sin against the spirit of the age than to show oneself lacking in optimism. It was not at all a question whether what was claimed was true or false, whether the diagnosis was correct or not: I have not been aware of people taking the time to investigate such old-fashioned questions. The criterion was quite simple: 'Is it optimistic or not?' – and it completely failed this test…. The dogma of progress seemed to be called into question. With the rage that only sacrilege can call forth, people let fly at this denial of the god of history. And its promises."
The Point? To understand the true nature of Christian hope and see through its ersatz imitations and distortions that are a surrogate for it.
The Ontological Meaning of Christian Hope: There is an ontological tendency that is the human person imaging the divine Relation that is the Son of God, the Logos.[1] Once affirmed by divine Grace (which is divine Love) that is received in Baptism as sacrament or desire, the "I" of the human person is able to exercise the freedom of self mastery in the pilgrimage of self-giving that is the beginning of eternal life now in this world. This "progress" in self-giving is the "Christogenesis" of the human person as image and son of God. One is on the way to becoming "another Christ."
The meaning of the "Kingdom of God" is the Person of Christ himself: "If it is by the finger of God that I cast out demons then the Kingdom of God has come upon you" (Lk. 11, 20). The Kingdom of God is the Person of Christ Who becomes instantiated in the baptized, such that "there is neither Jew nor Greek; there is neither slave nor freeman; there is neither male nor female; you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Gal 3, 28). Consult Benedict XVI's "Jesus of Nazareth" for his assessment of Origen: "Jesus himself is the Kingdom; the Kingdom is not a thing, it is not a geographical dominion like worldly kingdoms. It is a person; it is he. On this interpretation, the term 'Kingdom of God' is itself a veiled Christology… The Kingdom of God is not to be found on any map. It is not a kingdom after the fashion of worldly kingdoms; it is located in man's inner being. It grows and radiates outward from that inner space."[2]
Ratzinger clarifies that the goal of optimism is the development of an external historical society through evolution and technology. He writes that "The goal of optimism is the utopia of the finally and everlastingly liberated and fortunate world, the perfect society in which history reaches its goal and reveals its divinity. The immediate aim… is the success of our ability to do things. The goal of Christian hope is the kingdom of God that is the union of world and man with God through an act of divine power and love."[3]
He then concludes that "The internal justification for optimism is the logic of history, which goes its own way and presses forward irrevocably towards its goal: the justification of Christian hope is the incarnation of God's word and love in Jesus Christ."[4]
Expatiating on the above: "The goal of the ideologies is finally and ultimately success, in which we are able to realize our own wishes and plans. Our own ability and activity on which we are betting is however aware that ultimately it is guided and confirmed by an irrational fundamental tendency of development; the dynamic of progress means that everything ultimate becomes all right, as I was told recently by a physicist who regarded himself as important when I had the temerity to utter doubts about some modern techniques for handling nascent human life. The aim of Christian hope, by contrast, is a gift, the gift of love, which is given us beyond all our activity…
"But this means that the product of the promise of optimism is something that we must ultimately produce ourselves, trusting that the blind process of development in connection with out own activity will finally lead to the right goal. The gift of the promise of hope, on the other hand, is precisely that, a gift that as something already bestowed we await from him who alone can really give: the God who in the midst of history has already begun his age through Jesus. This in turn means that in the first case there is in reality nothing to hope for, because what we are awaiting we must bring about ourselves, and nothing will be given us beyond what we can achieve ourselves."[5]

Not by the gentle hand or tears of Mary, but by hands bronzed and timeless, the rock is rolled. This new wheeled invention is hard to grasp, the movement of heaven's cogs purposeful and interlinked with plans hardwired into the very fabric of time. God's well-oiled machinery releases the new wine, and out it flows, music of the spheres, trumpets muted by the world's deafness nevertheless heralding the rebirth of the divine, with ten fingers and ten toes and the gaping wounds of having already, at so tender an age, made all well.
Mistaking the greater miracle for the gardener, we miss it, and stare, open-mouthed at heaviness made light, a strange emptiness, and notice only the absence of moss.

Someone has finally realised cheapest is not best.
Or maybe they're just trousering a few mil in kickback after all...
Patient record supplier Cerner has written to Cambridge University Hospitals foundation trust over its recent award of a major software tender to Epic, Government Computing understands. The letter, understood to be from Cerner's European managing director Alan Fowles to the trust's interim chief executive Dr Karen Castille, …
The key word here is 'compliance'. If the requirements were written properly and if the more expensive bid was the only one that fully complied with the written requirements, then it wins. Being seen to fiddle around with the procurement mid-way is a bad thing though.
This is not exactly much of a story. Companies ask why their bids were rejected all the time. If the hospital is able to answer properly, then the process is being run as it should. The opportunities for when the cheapest bidder could then screw the public authority mid-way through the contract, while not completely eliminated, are now much harder.
Having been involved in a non-IT tender.
We scored maximum on the quality of service but not sufficiently so to outweigh the points shortfall on cost of the service to beat the competition.
Now if the scoring has been drawn up in a fair and neutral manner, then the best tender has won.
The procurement process for the public sector requires you to get "best value". A lot of people (including suppliers) have taken this to mean cheapest, it is not.
For a patient record system (or any other public sector system betting life and limb), quality of system, ease of use/training (less staff mistakes), and projected levels of support from the supplier (i.e. do they forget you after you sign the cheque, likely to be bankrupt, etc.), should all score higher than the initial contract costs.
You also need to watch for the little sods (sorry suppliers), putting in low ball initial signing costs, and then loading it up for renewals and support services. (for example on year 2 of the contract, they get to pick a large random number and call it a liscense fee increase)

Episode 1371Steve from
Steve's Dell Inspiron laptop drops Wi-Fi all the time. Dell claims to have fixed it via remote access, but it didn't work. Leo says that it's likely the person at Dell tech support had very little training and was following the directions in the notebook. All too often it doesn't fix the problem. What he'll need to do is call them back and ask to have his case escalated to tier 2 or even tier 3 level support.
Why does Wi-Fi drop out? It could be congestion. The 2.4ghz band is woefully crowded. Also, Wi-Fi Networks could be dropping out while other networks are in heavy use. More likely, the problem is his router. Routers provided by ISPs are usually very basic modem-router combos. It's probably older, too. Leo says to turn off the router portion of it and buy his own. They are newer, more secure, and updatable. Modern routers are also dual band, which are at 2.4 and 5.0 ghz.
Check out this article on "why Wi-Fi kind of sucks now" at arstechnica.com.

Work has begun on my advertising pages for the photography business. It will be a slow start as right now I'm prioritising my time with my kids before the world of school begins.
I won't be sharing or linking my work with the blog. I need this space to keep on track and heading for that recovery. I will from time to time take shots specifically for the blog. It's a shame as I wish I could just be up front but the second I reveal myself I would undo all my work. Not doing too badly though…January 2014 I was at my lowest, August 2014 I'm setting up my own business. Dare I say it, I'm a little proud of myself.
