How can we start paying for things that make people healthier, instead of just treating them when they get sick? The Affordable Care Act has helped catalyze an explosion of ideas about how to expand access to healthcare and control costs. We know that community prevention--changing the social and physical environments of communities to keep people healthy in the first place--can go a long way. In this report, we identify new, cutting-edge ways to pay for these efforts.
Prevention Institute researchers talked to health-system innovators around the country to identify emerging new approaches. The result, How Can We Pay for a Healthy Population? Innovative New Ways to Redirect Funds to Community Prevention, doesn't provide all the answers about how to fund prevention but is intended to serve as a catalyst to encourage more innovation. The pioneers we profile in this report have found surprising new ways to capture funds already in the healthcare system and redirect them to pay for population health measures that prioritize community prevention.
Some, like "health impact bonds," aim to use market mechanisms in a radical new way to reduce the severity and cost of chronic health conditions, returning part of the savings to investors and reinvesting the rest in expanded prevention. Others, like the establishment of the Massachusetts Prevention and Wellness Trust, create funding pools through small taxes on health insurers and hospitals that will be used to fund evidence-based community prevention efforts. All aim to keep people healthy and reduce the cost of the chronic health conditions that eat up three-quarters of our $2.7 trillion annual healthcare bill.
Some efforts can be enabled or scuttled in the coming months based on how statutes and regulations are interpreted. For example, nonprofit hospitals and health plans are required by federal law to spend "community benefit" funds in ways that benefit the public. Efforts are underway to devote a larger portion of these monies to wellness and prevention initiatives that increase people's access to healthy food or safe places to engage in physical activity.
This report is the first in a series of analyses PI will release in 2013 to explore new approaches aimed at creating a more integrated system for health and community well being. We hope you'll read this new report, think about it, and share it with your friends and colleagues. And as always, we'd like you to stay tuned so we can ask for your help in supporting these kinds of innovations at critical moments in the coming months.

Horry County, SC– HTC and the Foundation for Rural Service (FRS) are sponsoring an educational tour to Washington, DC, June 2-6, 2018, for two local students selected for the 24th Annual Foundation for Rural Service Youth Tour.
Braylee Estep, representing Conway High School, and Jade Crooks, representing Carolina Forest High School, were selected by school guidance counselors and HTC.
The 24th Annual Youth Tour exposes students to the regulatory process and explains the impact of legislative and judicial decisions on the telecommunications industry in rural America. Students also have the opportunity to visit many of the historical sites in the nation's capital.
The trip focuses on a comprehensive overview of the telecommunications industry, including careers in telecommunications, the critical role telecommunications plays in rural America, and how legislative and regulatory decisions, made in Washington, affect the industry.
"Today's youth are the future of telecommunications in America and we hope that by educating them about the industry, we will not only broaden their horizons, but also strengthen our communities," said Tom Vitt, HTC Director of Marketing. "We are proud to have a role in educating our local youth and contributing to the future economic health of our communities."
The Youth Tour will bring together 100 high school juniors from across rural and suburban America to Washington, DC on a four-day culturally enriching experience. The tour allows youth to visit the Supreme Court and US Capitol to meet with a member of Congress.
They also participate in an informational session about the Federal Communications Commission, US Department of Agriculture, Rural Utilities Service and more. Students visit the nation's most historic and popular tour sites, including the Supreme Court and the Lincoln and Roosevelt Memorials.
"We hope that by providing our youth with telecommunications services comparable to those found in urban areas, as well as exposing them to cultural and educational opportunities, such as the FRS Youth Tour, our youth will remain in and become active members in their communities," said Vitt.
The 24th Annual Youth Tour is hosted by the Foundation for Rural Service (FRS). FRS leads aggressive public information, economic and community development projects, which focus on rural telecommunications, to educate the public and improve the quality of rural American life. It is the philanthropic arm of the National Telecommunications Cooperative Association (NTCA), of which HTC is a member.

Reporting from Planet Earth: Wayne White
Before being the subject of the critically-acclaimed documentary Beauty is Embarrassing, Wayne White's body of work was more widely known than his actual name. The Los Angeles-based artist, art director, cartoonist and illustrator was one of the masterminds behind Pee Wee's Playhouse; the art director for two seminal music videos, Peter Gabriel's "Big Time" and the Smashing Pumpkins' "Tonight Tonight;" as well as the man behind the anthropomorphic bottle Snapple commercials. White's prolific output of visually vibrant art is the result of joy and discipline going hand-in-hand.
You've said, "I'm often as frustrated at the world as most people are. But I think frustration is hilarious. One of my missions is to bring humor into fine art. It's sacred." What other things are sacred to you? What other missions are you on or hope to go on?
I guess the real mission I am on is living in the moment; it has a sacred quality to it. This is what making and looking at art teaches us to do: it allows us to meditate and be fully in the moment, which is the way we are fully alive. There are no regrets, no anticipation for the future; you are alive and in the moment, which is a surprisingly hard thing to do. I want to report from planet Earth on what it is like to be alive. This is a very tricky thing to do. We mostly regret, live in the past or live in the future, and get caught within the two, remembering and anticipating. The whole power of art is that it is something made by someone who is fully there and passed it on to other people. By looking at it you get to experience it: "that's the whole mojo and voodoo.
You've escaped Tennessee for New York, and New York for Los Angeles. Much has been written on your love/hate relationship with Los Angeles: "a beautiful place that drives sensitive souls crazy." The building where the first season of Pee Wee's Playhouse was filmed in New York is now adjacent to Topshop and Bloomingdale's. The East Village, where you used to live, is gentrifying fast. How do you remember your time in New York? Is it just a different type of narcissistic culture destroying its creative enclaves for profit? Or is it slightly less evil than Los Angeles?
New York is very very important to me: It is where I got my start as an artist; and where I ventured to the world after leaving my home in the South. It was a very, very different place for me and important as a career-starter and to get into the stream of things. It took me out of my comfort zone; I had never lived anywhere, and it opened up my eyes to other cultures. This is very important for an artist—provincial artists are not good artists. Artists must see fresh, even when it is painful. New York gave me fresh eyes and a fresh point of view. It made me doubt my prejudices. I have lived in three very different worlds, and the most valuable lesson I have learned is that they are all wrong about each other; Tennessee, New York and Los Angeles all have provincial attitudes about each other: even big cities are provincial in that way. This made me a better artist.
The changes in New York are substantial. I lived there from 1981 to 1990. Right now, prices mean Manhattan is off-limits for artists, Brooklyn too. It is great to see how Brooklyn has come along—it is a vibrant place. The traditional stuff about New York: the museums, the schools, the cultural range of people, the whole melting point thing is great. It is a city where everybody observes.
I lived in the East Village in the early 80s, when it was wild and wooly. You did not go past Avenue A at all. Gentrification started in the mid-80s: it is now a nice neighborhood for babies. I witnessed the last gasp of old burn-out crazy East Village, back when the Bowery was still THE BOWERY. I loved every minute of it: as a romantic adventurer, I lived in squalor, which was young and fun to do. During my first four years in New York I had day jobs: short order cook at the Empire Diner; mover; artist's assistant; caterer's assistant. I did not hit the ground running, I had to pay my dues. I moved to New York to be an illustrator and a cartoonist: it was the last golden age of the magazine, when they still had sway. It was the last one for printed matter. Art Spiegelman's Raw Magazine—that was my scene.
I hate the attitude of "The Good Old Days." No one has missed the scene. Any time you are young and are going for it, that's the golden age. Conditions may be different, but there is always something great going on. New York is just as beautiful to me as Los Angeles. New York is the greatest city in the world, but I have gotten spoiled by the climate in Los Angeles. I also have a sentimental attachment to Los Angeles; it is the place where my children grew up. The Tennessee landscapes are still my favorite. Experiencing all three of them was luck I had to earn. Most people do not want to take those risks. The artist's life is a risk-taking life; you take risks always, and that's what makes you interesting. Playing it safe is not what art is about.
Your work has been called, "Gasoline for the human soul."You have proven that as raw emotions go, embarrassment can be as powerful as rage and that an artist does not have to be isolated or tortured to be appreciated and successful. Was this a deliberate choice to turn anger and alienation into beauty, and you happen to have the cavalcade of talents to do it? How do you keep yourself grounded and such a joyful ham?
My wife does not agree that I am a joyful guy. I am a lovable cranky bastard. Beauty is Embarrassing is a portrait of me painted by another artist, [director] Neil Berkelely. I am very grateful that I had my story told like that, as a movie is the most effective way of touching other people. But there's a whole world that is not there.
The idea of the tortured artist is tiresome: being bitter is not attractive at all. Young people think it is cool to be bitter. An angry middle-aged man is not attractive. The main theme of my work is all is vanity and fixation of the spirit as they say in the Bible. The ego is our biggest problem as human beings. You can despair at it or you can laugh at it: You can get at the truth through humor. I dispel the gloom and doom and I use it to tell the truth as an invitation for people to come in and see what I am doing. It is an invitation to the viewer. Fine art tends to be very hermetic, and it defines the viewer. I like to communicate and reach out to the viewer. The whole idea of being depressed is shit: so many people fail because they think it is cool to be depressed. It is horrible and should be avoided. People who have gone through very hard times see humor as the survival technique that it is. It is a very effective way to survive despair, and a sign of intelligence.
You're a bit of a hoarder,or in fine art terms, a dedicated archivist. One of my favorite scenes in Beauty is Embarrassing is where you are showing the camera crew the artwork from "Big Time" and "Tonight Tonight"—truly beloved objects for a generation that still remembers when MTV showed videos. You've also said that your concepts evolve into each other; is this why you want to be immersed in your art?
I am bad at housekeeping. My studio is a wreck. Since I turn trash into art, throwing stuff out is a risk. A few years ago we were candidates for some reality show for people who cannot get a grip on their clutter and they said we were not messy enough. My curatorship could be more serious. I do take care of my flat two dimensional work with flat files. I enjoy being able to pull something and seeing it. I am not wrapped up. My wife and I share a love of crap. That is how the thrift store paintings started happening—thrift stores are an ongoing museum kind of experience. A museum of the now.
After Hugo came out I got a lot of comments about the Georges Meunier connection. He is an incredible visual resource. I took his ideas and made my own version of them and colorized them. I love his crude stage craft; it is very beautiful.
I'm always perplexed when people refer to your word paintings as landscapes. I have always seen them as portraits, especially the more abstract ones. The words seem to have personalities, not just in what they are saying, but in how you write each letter as a character that just happens to be hanging out in this landscape.
I feel the same way. I have always loved letters. I drew them before I could even read, the A was a house, B was fat, and S was a serpent. I saw them as the pictographs they started out as– shorthand drawings of the world. Cartography sees the expressive power of the letter; font puts style to it. The content of the word paintings are what they are saying but in terms of form, I see them as a portrait. The typography matters as much as the content. I love forms; this comes from my years as a sign painter and as a cartoonist. We are really into type.
Fuck You Invasion is inspired by D-day, since war is the ultimate fuck you. I debated on having something come out of the boats, but then I thought the anticipation was more dramatic than actually showing it. I left it participatory like that and took advantage of the dramatic tension. I love history and love reading about war—I like getting that kind of sense into the paintings, an epic sense of something happening. I always think about the interior of the form. I think a lot about the interior of the letters and in my mind, they are hollow. I think about the hollowness of it, and it is very much part of my visual sense. When the word paintings started, they were sitting in the scene, and then they started levitating and swooping through the air. I want to activate the space in any kind of way I can think of.
"Download it now and your pics will instantly be upgraded to a Wayne White style of badass." Tell me about the Words with Wayne App. Are phone screens the next frontier in art? What did you hope people would do with it?
To be honest with you it was marketing for the movie and the director's idea. I helped them pick the type and I consulted. I am not an app person. I think it was great, a great piece of promotion. The word paintings have become so ubiquitous, everyone is doing my style. Giant dimensional letters have become a standard and I like to think that I started that, I can say, Fuck it! and let everyone do it. In the meantime I am still figuring out new frontiers. I did not invent them, the Hollywood sign and movie titles have been doing it for years. I just re-popularized them. It is part of my mission to have people do it too. The documentary was showbiz and you might as well go with the showbiz idea. It is a very movie idea. A lot of my paintings are opening titles for non-existing movies. And of course that is the influence of working in Hollywood all those years.
The app is a way of democratizing it. Everybody wants to make a picture, and a lot of people are talked out of it, which is sad. Everybody loves a message. My techniques are difficult; I make it look easy, which is the whole point. But I have 40 years of hard work and discipline and technique.
On 15 June 2012 you tweeted, "Where would I be without my imaginary pals." Who are they and what are they up to these days?
I had an imaginary playmate as a child. I played with him for 2 or 3 years from 3 to 6. I had to leave him behind when I went to school, but I built a rich world around him. In some form or the other I still gravitate toward imagination. My wife Mimi is a writer, and she does the same thing. We imagine characters in our heads; you see people on the street and you imagine their inner lives. I love language and love to read, that's why I use words in my paintings. We are big readers. I don't have imaginary characters any more, but the voices in my paintings are not always my voice, but those of imaginary characters in my head, some character from my southern past or some misinformed idiot. Like the novelist, I take on the voice of other people, including voices of anger that would never seem appropriate for me. That's where the puppetry comes in too, it is about being able to build one of those characters, hide behind it and talk in his voice. They are all about imaginary characters. It is one of the great fun things to do. Human beings crave a cast of characters, which is why TV and movies are so popular and we admire that craft. They teach us about what it is like to be alive.
What is your Wild Wish?
My wild wish is to do a gigantic public work, something outdoors and big in a major city, that will be enjoyed by generations to come. I want to do a public sculpture in a very epic scale. I love big scale stuff; I like to keep working bigger and bigger. That is one of my wildest art dreams, and I am slowly getting there. I would also like to get a new studio; I still work in a tiny room in my house. While having a house is one of my great achievements, I would love to build the biggest, nicest studio, perhaps in LA.

Homeschooling: Excited and making plans!
Suzi is going to be four a month from today. Four! She's come such a long way since I wrote this post on why I wanted to homeschool her. We've decided it's time to officially get started, and in the fall, we will. Here's what we've got so far.
1) Oak Meadow Kindergarten is the curriculum I've decided on. I ordered it and some of the books are already here. It was expensive, but worth it. I was public schooled and this is my first year officially teaching Suzi at home, so I have no idea what this should feel like. While Suzi needs flexibility to stay interested in learning, I desperately need a plan. Something to tell me yes, Jenny, you're doing enough. Oak Meadow will give us both what we need.
2) I love, love some aspects of Waldorf. I love the idea of having a color for each day and I am brainstorming ways to use this in our daily routine. I am thinking of making napkins in every color of the rainbow to use at breakfast each day. I have a good idea for a table centerpiece, too. It would be a wooden ring kind of like a birthday ring, only wider, and it would be painted in sections in all the colors. An adorable little gnome will sit on it and every morning we will move him to that day's color. A candle can go in the middle of the ring. Jordan is going to help me make this soon!
3) Nature walks. I want to do this more often, but for us it involves a car ride. We can't safely walk out of our neighborhood, but there are lovely botanical gardens just a few minutes away, as well as a waterfront park on the lake. Instead of a daily nature walk, it'll probably be a longer event taking place once a week and followed by a playdate. On the rest of the days we can just take a walk in the neighborhood or play in the yard. And some weeks, our nature walk will be replaced by a berry-picking day (see above) or maybe even a trip to the zoo.
4) Legal stuff. I've been over this before. Kindergarten is not required, but must be officially waived. Suzi wouldn't be going to kindergarten until fall of 2012 anyway. We will be using legal option 3 for homeschooling, which means that we will join a home school association and submit records and a portfolio of Suzi's work. (Standardized testing is offered but not required, and I'd rather not.) Oak Meadow uses something called a main lesson book in which all of the child's creative work and lessons are done. They sell books especially for this, but I am probably going to make my own. A three-ring binder filled with unlined paper would work. I am leaning towards doing official homeschool kindergarten rather than just waiving that year. In any case, we won't need to worry about it this coming fall. This first year we can just take it easy and get used to things.
5) You might be thinking what about Ivey? I plan to let her join in whenever she can, and when she can't I will try to find another (preferably related) activity for her to enjoy alongside Suzi. Robert, of course, will ride in a wrap or watch from his bouncy seat.
6) My biggest goal: Getting out of the house. Having more playdates. Making homeschool buddies. Blowing that irritating socialization argument out of the water. Discovering how many hands-on learning experiences we can come up with, at home and away. Going berry-picking, to the zoo, to the children's museum, to plays, on overnight trips. Letting life itself be their education, and their inspiration and their motivation. (Yeah--it's more than one goal. But for me, this is the heart of all of it.)
I love them. I love being with them. And I'm so excited!
Do you homeschool? What was your first step? What was the hardest part of getting started?

Oak Meadow is simply lovely! I have read the sample lesson plans several times. I really would like to order it as well. Remember to check out the Brooks Center's Tri-Art program later in the summer. They offer shortened versions (approx. 1 hr) of most of the programs they show there for $2/ ticket. You may have to get your mom to watch Ivey though, I think the age limit is 3, but Robert shouldn't be a problem because he's so little. Yay. Excited!

I had never heard of Oak Meadow, but it looks like a lot of fun! We homeschool and I agree that learning and life go hand in hand. And the idea that homeschoolers aren't socialized? So silly! :-)

In my last post, I wrote about four barriers to great group prayer. One of those barriers was group members' lack of experience with prayer. So, let's dig a little deeper into what that barrier looks like and some things you can do to overcome it.
Group members who don't have a lot of experience with prayer usually struggle in two ways:
1. They lack knowledge.
Some group members just don't know how to pray. Maybe it's new to them, or maybe they've prayed privately but never in a group. One way to overcome this hurdle is to devote a Life Group meeting to a discussion about prayer. During the discussion, define or explain prayer and then lead your group through focused prayer based on the discussion. There are lots of ways to teach the principles of prayer. One is the ACTS approach in which you give your group a brief description of four aspects of prayer using the ACTS acronym:
Adoration-Acknowledging who God is, worshiping him, and praising him for his character and attributes.
Confession-Confessing sins to clear away anything that breaks fellowship with God.
Thanksgiving-Acknowledging that God provides for our needs, and communicating gratitude for what he has already done and provided.
Supplication- Presenting our requests to God.
After explaining each aspect of ACTS, encourage group members to think about what they would like to say to God in that area. Lead a time of prayer where members pray out loud about that area. You may also want to provide group members with a note card or "cheat sheet" to help them remember how to incorporate each aspect into their personal prayers.
2. They lack confidence.
It should come as no surprise that people who don't know how to pray will be reluctant to do it out loud. Walking group members through the ACTS approach to prayer will probably alleviate some confidence problems. But you can also help them build confidence by creating some low-intensity baby steps that allow them to practice:
- Ask a group member to pray before the group eats dinner or dessert. (You may want to talk to the group member ahead of time, so you're not putting him or her on the spot.)
- Have each person in the group write one prayer request on an index card and pass it to the person on his or her left. Then have each person pray out loud for the request on the card.
- Split into groups of two or three for prayer time so no one has to pray in front of more than two other people.
In the next post, we'll take a look at what to do when your group's prayers lack authenticity and depth.

Baseball: Vikings Take Two From Comets
Apr 9th, 2003 @ 9:35 am | Author: Viking Sports Information
Valley City State swept a double header at The Charlie on Tuesday. The Vikings won the opener 8-4 behind Dwayne Wandy and held on in the night cap for an 8-5 victory.
The opener started out as a pitchers duel as the Comets Aaron Foster matched shutout innings with Wandy until the fifth inning when VCSU scored five runs on six hits. The biggest blow was a bases loaded double by Doug Lonski that scored three Vikings. A single by Andy Falck plated Lonski while Falck came around one pitch later on a double by Trapper Wagner.
The Comets answered with two in the sixth on a single by Geoff Zimmerman, a double by Mike Lorz and a triple by Brett Wandler.
The Vikins however added insurance in the sixth. With one out, Nate Turck singles and scored on Josh Schriver's home run to left field. Tom Klapp and Mark Fabian followed up with back to back doubles to make it 8-2.
Mayville added a couple runs in the top of the seventh but catcher Casey Huntsinger threw out Geoff Zimmerman for the final out and even Wandy's record at 2-2.
The Vikings had 12 hits in the game and were paced by two each from Schriver, Klapp and Doug Lonski. Wandy struck out six and surrendered seven hits in seven innings of work.
The night cap saw the Vikings score three in the first inning on five consecutive singles.
After the Comets added one in the second, the Vikings put together a four-run third inning.
Lonski lead off with a single and scored on an Andy Falck double. After a flyout, Ryley Hunter and Derek Spitzer hit back-to-back rbi-doubles. Turck closed out the inning with an rbi single to left.
Mayville added two runs in the fourth and two in the sixth. With the bases still loaded and one out, Tom Klapp came in to strike out two Comets and get the Vikings away from further damage.
A Schriver single and Fabian double gave the Vikings an 8-5 lead. Klapp retired the Comets in order to get the save in the seventh.
Bryce McLean picked up the win, going five innings, giving up 6 hits, 5 runs, striking out five and walking five. Klapp picked up his second save of the year striking out four of the five Comets he faced.
Offensively, the Vikings collected 13 hits and were paced by 2 each from Schriver, Lonski and Falck.
The wins improve the Vikings to 11-5 overall and 5-3 in the DAC-10. They host Huron University today at the Charlie.

2012- Karen Traughber
Crime Prevention Coordinator Mark Wells says:
Karen is the perfect example of community policing and volunteering to promote public safety and community spirit. Karen is a retired Portland Police employee who contacted me about a year ago to form multiple Neighborhood Watches and one of the largest Community Foot Patrols in the City of Portland. She lives in the larger Manufactured Home Community in West Hayden Island and has organized and trained dozens of residents. She brings many of these foot patrollers and watch members to the HiNoon neighborhood association meetings and is the first and last to help set up and take down our North Public Safety Action Committee meetings. Karen has established and fortified strong partnerships with their local PPB Officers and continually communicates key information to me and PPB and other City and County safety agencies. I routinely receive emails from Karen and her Foot Patrol members highlighting crimes prevented and stories of members calling PPB and arresting criminals in and around their community. Karen is always a positive source of inspiration for me and her community and exemplifies the goals of ONI Crime Prevention everyday. It is my privilege and honor to award the Pennington Award to Karen Traughber from Hayden Island.

Think of all the TV shows that have been out there since Labor Day. The Big Bang Theory. NCIS. The Biggest Loser. Eric & Jessie.
Across the TV land, Broncos games had three of the four most watched TV shows and four of the top seven. The 12 most watched TV shows since Labor Day were all NFL games. The "Big Bang" Theory was the best of the rest at No. 13.
A look at the top 14 watched TV shows since Labor Day:

Enjoyed reading this and will definitely be reading bible verses….
GPS instructions are not foolproof, and on June 9th this was no exception… or was it? Instead of the most direct route, "waze" chose a path through neighborhoods, flood regions–inconvenient pathways. This was unique because oftentimes "waze" will go out of its way to guide me away from traffic, construction, blocked roads, etc. Well, this time — NOT.
Very quickly, the presence of Holy Spirit was experienced. He was highlighting something–I perked up. GPS chose DOVE RD. Unknowingly, this is the road that was and still is flooded. Papa knew how to grab my attention. He knew speaking using the symbolism of "The Dove" would work for His Arab stubborn daughter.
The river had overflowed it's banks and was flooding onto Dove Road. What He spoke of years ago, through Bob Jones, Bobby Connor, Chuck Pierce, and others was about to launch.
Summer and Fall of 2012, Holy Spirit began to speak into my heart about the preparation for a "move of God" which was taking place in this region. Holy Spirit was about to be welcomed and received in this area. Since that time, it has been clear that preparation of heart, foundation of faith faithfully taught, ministries built in right standing with the Lord and man, communion with God, and obedience to His leading were steps taken in preparation for receiving God's visitation.
This flood is a sign of the nearness of time. He was preparing the land. There is going to be a move of the Spirit (Dove) which will signify that the "Sun" is shining in Texas again, and that the unseen darkness previously here has lifted.
It's time to "wade in the water."
There will be a move of the Spirit which will birth many into the younger generation of believers. Oaks of Righteousness will be refreshed and on their way to shining like the noon day sun — planted in the River of the Holy Spirit (Psalms 1 and Revelations 22).
There will be a resurgence of Justice; freedom received for a supernatural life of Holy Spirit, lightheartedness, peace, righteousness. With justice and her benefits, God's people will not be easily moved as the times we live in grow darker. For we are called to release His LIGHT – He whom is brighter than the noonday sun. This move will reawaken, reunite the family of the King.
Father Claus* said, "Obedience is the greatest honor in heaven and on earth, therefore you must strive to be obedient to one another. Peace is certainly in God, for God is peace." Well, if this is true, and it is, what are some of the commandments God implemented, expecting us to adhere to, towards each other?
That, my friend, can be your quest for the day….Ponder, choose, act, write, be amazed and forever changed. And in the meantime, ask God how you can prepare and be part of the movement He is releasing in Texas.

ps. @ Wordpress blog http://www.visualeast.org , the poem,"Storms, Floods, and the Response" can be found (thoughts regarding what the month of May storms really were. BUT this post will focus on Southlake and the surrounding regions of Texas.)
If your region has experienced the storms of 2015, if you havent already please consider meditating on passages such as Psalms 18, 50, 68, 85, 99, 104, 114, 144. God can be found in the storm.

We have officially crossed back into tropical weather having crossed the 10*S line on the chart on the way up to the Solomon Islands. Things here are sticky and overwhelmingly hot, at least when you are walking around the city in the midday sun with bags full of groceries. But even while sailing we've been keeping the middle section of the bimini up so that we have a little shade to cower under while on watch. Not only is the sun hot but it is high overhead, it is all pop bright mornings and quick sunsets at 1800.
I can't say much about Honiara.
We only spent four days here, but thankfully we had the opportunity to stop at a few other places before arriving. If this was my first impression of the Solomon's it wouldn't be a great one. The city is very dirty; the streets scattered with trash and every river clogged with plastic. The harbour stinks like a sewer and the water is so murky you can't see bottom even right at the shoreline. We stopped landing the dinghy on the beach as we didn't want to have to put our feet in the water and risk a small cut or bug bite get infected.
The Point Cruz Yacht Club, although it says it is welcoming of visiting boats, did little to invite or inform us about even the basics; sights around town, availability of fuel and water, laundry or shower facilities. And yesterday the small stream that runs beside it was so fetid that we could barely sit in the shade and the breeze and enjoy a cold beer on the way home. The only consolation was that the stench around the boat would not have been much better.
Honiara was a necessary stop.
Most of our time here was spent taking care of business; paying Customs fees, checking in with immigration, picking up mail, dealing with banking and passport issues and taking advantage of internet that doesn't require infinite hours of patience to use. Not to mention schelping groceries and fuel all while trying not to look like a melting, sunburnt tourist.
We are departing this morning on another 2-3 day passage to the Western province where we hope to find more of the Solomons we knew before we arrived at Honiara; beautiful blue clear water, picturesque anchorages, smiling locals and fleets of dugout canoes. Surprisingly we've also seen a couple other yachts along the way, and chances are we'll see them again in the west where good anchorages are a little closer together. Who knows, we might even have neighbours for the holidays.
As always on passage the SPOT is on so you can follow along if you'd like. I am looking forward to escaping the hustle and bustle of civilization again and getting back to our quiet routine while at sea.
Until the next cellphone tower somewhere in the western province!

I have a GPO that I need to apply to the user
DOMAIN\DumbGuy, but only when he logs on to
DOMAIN\DumbGuysComputer$. When
DOMAIN\NiceReceptionist logs on to
DOMAIN\DumbGuysComputer$ it should not apply. When
DOMAIN\DumbGuy logs on to
DOMAIN\ReceptionstsComputer$ it should not apply.
It needs to only only apply to one person on one computer.
If I apply the GPO to the User object, it will apply to all his computers. If I apply the GPO to the Computer object, it will apply to all users on that computer. If I apply it to both, it spreads even wider.
How can I apply a GPO to just one user on just one computer?

How to: Edit Sequence Diagrams by Using the UML API
An interaction is a sequence of messages between a set of lifelines. An interaction is displayed on a sequence diagram.
For full details of the API, see Microsoft.VisualStudio.Uml.Interactions.
For a more general introduction to writing commands and gesture handlers for UML diagrams, see How to: Define a Menu Command on a Modeling Diagram.
Basic Code
Namespace imports
You must include the following using statements:
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Uml.Classes;
// for basic UML types such as IPackage
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Uml.Interactions;
// for interaction types
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.ArchitectureTools.Extensibility.Uml;
// to create elements and use additional functions
If you are creating menu commands and gesture handlers, you will also need:
using System.ComponentModel.Composition;
// for Import and Export
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.ExtensionEnablement;
// for ICommandExtension
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.ArchitectureTools.Extensibility.Presentation;
// for diagrams and context
For more information, see How to: Define a Menu Command on a Modeling Diagram.
Getting the context
If you are editing an interaction as part of a command or gesture handler in a sequence diagram, you can obtain a reference to the context. For example:
public class MySequenceDiagramCommand : ICommandExtension
public IDiagramContext Context { get; set; }
public void QueryStatus (IMenuCommand command)
ISequenceDiagram sequenceDiagram =
Context.CurrentDiagram as ISequenceDiagram;
Generated and UML Sequence Diagrams
There are two kinds of sequence diagrams: those that are manually created in a UML modeling project, and those that are generated from program code. You can use the UmlMode property to discover which kind of sequence diagram you are working with.
For example, if you want to make a menu command that is only visible on UML sequence diagrams, then the QueryStatus() method could include the following statement:
command.Enabled = command.Visible =
sequenceDiagram != null && sequenceDiagram.UmlMode;
In a generated sequence diagram, the lifelines, messages and other elements are much the same as on a UML sequence diagram. In a UML model, the Model Store has a root, which is the Model that owns all the other elements; but a generated interaction exists in its own Model Store, which has a null root:
IModel rootModel = sequenceDiagram.ModelStore.Root;
// !sequenceDiagram.UmlMode == (rootModel == null)
To create and display an Interaction
Create the interaction as a child of a package or model.
For example, if you are developing a command that might be performed on a blank sequence diagram, you should always begin by checking whether the interaction exists.
public void Execute (IMenuCommand command)
ISequenceDiagram sequenceDiagram =
Context.CurrentDiagram as ISequenceDiagram;
if (sequenceDiagram == null) return;
// Get the diagram's interaction:
IInteraction interaction = sequenceDiagram.Interaction;
// A new sequence diagram might have no interaction:
if (interaction == null)
// Get the home package or model of the diagram:
IPackage parentPackage = sequenceDiagram.GetObject<IPackage>();
interaction = parentPackage.CreateInteraction();
// Display the interaction on the sequence diagram:
Updating an Interaction and its Layout
When you update an Interaction, always end your operation by updating its layout using one of the following methods:
ISequenceDiagram.UpdateShapePositions() adjusts the positions of shapes that have recently been inserted or moved, and their neighboring shapes.
ISequenceDiagram.Layout([SequenceDiagramLayoutKinds]) redraws the whole diagram. You can use the parameter to specify repositioning of the lifelines, the messages, or both.
This is particularly important when you insert new elements or move existing elements. They will not be in the correct positions on the diagram until you have performed one of these operations. You only need to call one of these operations once at the end of a series of changes.
To avoid bemusing the user who performs an undo after your command, use an ILinkedUndoTransaction to enclose your changes and the final Layout() or UpdateShapePositions() operations. For example:
using (ILinkedUndoTransaction transaction = LinkedUndoContext.BeginTransaction("create loop"))
Interaction.CreateCombinedFragment(InteractionOperatorKind.Loop, messages);
To use an ILinkedUndoTransaction, you must make this declaration in your class:
[Import] ILinkedUndoContext LinkedUndoContext { get; set; }
For more information, see How to: Link Model Updates using Transactions.
Building an Interaction
To create lifelines
ILifeline lifeline = interaction.CreateLifeline();
A lifeline represents a connectable element, that is, an instance of a type. For example, if the interaction is used to show how a component delegates incoming messages to its internal parts, the lifelines can represent the ports and parts of the component:
foreach (IConnectableElement part in
ILifeline lifeline = interaction.CreateLifeline();
lifeline.Represents = part;
Alternatively, if the interaction shows an arbitrary set of objects, you can create a property or other IConnectableElement in the interaction itself:
ILifeline lifeline = interaction.CreateLifeline();
IProperty property1 = interaction.CreateProperty();
property1.Type = model.CreateInterface();
property1.Type.Name = "Type 1";
lifeline.Represents = property1;
As a further alternative, you can set the name and type of a lifeline without linking it to a connectable element:
ILifeline lifeline = interaction.CreateLifeline();
lifeline.Name = "c1";
lifeline.GetDisplayName() == "c1:Customer" );
To create messages
To create a message, you must identify insertion points on the source and target lifelines. For example:
interaction.CreateMessage( sourceInsertionPoint,
To create a message that has an undefined source or undefined target:
interaction.CreateLostFoundMessage(MessageKind.Found, insertionPoint);
There are several messages that you can use to identify insertion points at all the key points on a lifeline:
Method on ILifeline
Use it to insert at this point
The top of the lifeline.
The bottom of the lifeline.
(IMessage previous)
A point immediately after the specified message.
(IExecutionSpecification previous)
The point can be either on the lifeline, or on a parent execution specification block.
(IInteractionUse previous)
A point following an Interaction Use.
(ICombinedFragment previous)
A point following a Combined Fragment.
FindInsertionPoint(IExecutionSpecification block)
The top of an execution block.
FindInsertionPoint(IInteractionOperand fragment)
The top of an operand of a combined fragment.
When you create messages, take care to avoid defining a message that would cross over another message.
To Create Combined Fragments and Interaction Uses
You can create combined fragments and Interaction Uses by specifying an insertion point on each lifeline that must be covered by the element. Take care to avoid specifying a set of points that would cross over an existing message or fragment.
Interaction.Lifelines.Select(lifeline => lifeline.FindInsertionPointAtTop()));
Interaction.Lifelines.Select(lifeline => lifeline.FindInsertionPointAtTop()));
You can also create a combined fragment that covers an existing set of messages. The messages must all be sourced at the same lifeline or execution block.
ICombinedFragment cf = Interaction.CreateCombinedFragment(
A combined fragment is always created with a single operand. To create a new operand, you must specify the existing operand that you want to insert before or after, and whether you want to insert after it or before it:
// Create an additional operand before the first
cf.CreateInteractionOperand(cf.Operands.First(), false);
// Create an additional operand after the last:
cf.CreateInteractionOperand(cf.Operands.Last(), true);
Shapes will appear in incorrect positions if changes are not completed with an UpdateShapePositions() or Layout() operation.
Most other problems are caused by insertion points being misaligned, so that new messages or fragments would have to cross over others. The symptoms can be that no change is performed, or an exception is thrown. The exception might not be thrown until the UpdateShapePositions() or Layout() operation is performed.

Under the heading of 'New Western Writer Comes To Town' IcySnowBlackstone has given Dead Men's Fingers prime billing on her blog, complete with an excerpt.
She's also done it the honour of an in-depth 5 star review here which includes:
"...This is a tough little Western... as gritty and bloody as they come. The descriptions are so
realistic one can almost feel the arid heat and see the stark surroundings as
the wagons push across the plains, and feel the splash of the water and see the
mud being churned up as they ford the river. 'Dead Man's Fingers' may be short, but it's filled
with plenty of narrative, description, and characterization. Jed is a
good man, a caring father but a man aware of how his past may catch up with him
sooner or later..."
Well, thank ya kindly, ma'am.

Luger Kate Hansen dances her heart out to warm up and get focused before her luge races. Hansen didn't win a medal but her U.S. teammate Erin Hamlin won the bronze, becoming the first American to win a singles medal in luge in history (the U.S. has won five doubles medals).
Yesterday, while hanging out in the Olympic Village, Hansen "danced-blessed" Hamlin's medal. Some twerking was involved.
From Hamlin's Instagram: "Had to get my medal "dance-blessed" by the one and only @k8ertotz #bustaBRONZEmove #Sochi2014"
Hansen's warm up is really funny. Here are some photos from before her run on Monday:

Latest News
For Buhach Colony, next up: Jesuit
STOCKTON -- Art Corona had a smile that might stick on his face for a week.
The diminutive junior came through with a hit Buhach Colony had been waiting for all day.
Corona lined a triple to the wall in left field to drive in two runs and eventually crossed the plate himself when the throw got by St. Mary's third baseman Jake Cose.
Corona's clutch shot gave BC a 3-1 lead in the top of the third inning on its way to earning a spot in next week's Sac-Joaquin Section Division championship series with a 5-2 win over St. Mary's in Friday night's South finals at UOP.
"We needed that hit so bad," said Corona, who has come up with some huge plays both offensively and defensively in the playoffs.
"As soon as I hit it, I was thinking triple all the way. I knew it was a gapper."
Buhach Colony (27-5) will face Carmichael Jesuit on Friday at
5 p.m. back at UOP in a three-game championship series.
After a single game Friday night, the teams will face off twice -- if needed -- on Saturday.
"It's awesome," BC coach Wayne Fitzgerald said. "There are a lot of high school baseball teams that will be sleeping in tomorrow. We're not and that's a good thing."
St. Mary's (20-13) came close to ending the season for Fitzgerald and his troops.
BC watched St. Mary's score seven runs in the final two innings of the opener Friday night to win 9-2 and force a do-or-die second game.
BC's Justin Koehler was cruising through the middle part of the game -- retiring 13 hitters at one point -- before St. Mary's Louie Lechich launched a three-run homer in the top of the sixth inning to give his team a 5-2 lead.
St. Mary's tacked on four more runs in the seventh to blow the game open.
Buhach knew its season was on the line in the second game.
"Things were better left unsaid," BC senior Brett Mooneyham said. "We had to put it away and out of our mind. We just had to move on to the next one."
BC ace Dylan Floro got the start despite throwing 5 1/3 innings on Wednesday.
Floro gave up just one unearned run before having to leave with two outs in the fourth inning -- having reached his 10-inning limit for the week.
Floro left with the lead thanks to Corona's big hit in the third inning.
The BC players exploded out of the dugout after Corona came around to score, giving his team its first lead of the day.
"Artie may have the two biggest plays of the series," Mooneyham said. "That triple jacked us up. They got mad at us because we had too many people out of the dugout while the game was still live."
Mooneyham brought his teammates out of the dugout again in the fourth inning when he crushed a two-run homer to center field that traveled about 425 feet and extended the lead to 5-1.
It was Mooneyham's third homer of the playoffs -- and a massive bomb, to boot.
"I don't know if I've hit one farther," he said. "I hit that one pretty good. I'm telling you, this bat is magical."
St. Mary's coach Pete Pijl had considered intentionally walking Mooneyham with first base open.
"I told Michael (Rivera) not to give him a pitch to hit, and he left one up," Pijl said. "His first two at-bats, we kept the ball down low on him.
"A lot of times, I'll just put the guy on but we thought we could get him to go fishing.
"We left a ball up and you can't do that to Mooneyham."
Markus Melgosa came on in relief of Floro and performed solidly.
The senior pitched into the seventh inning before giving way to Mooneyham -- who threw 118 pitches in Monday's 2-0 win over St. Mary's -- with runners on first and second with one out.
Mooneyham walked the first batter to load the bases.
A ground ball to Melgosa at shortstop drove in a run, but left St. Mary's with just one more out and two runners on.
Mooneyham then shut the door by striking out St. Mary's Cose with an 0-2 changeup and the celebration began.
"Prior to the game, my coaches asked me what I thought and I told them I think I can give you one (inning)," Mooneyham said.
"The plan was for me to close. I've never been a closer. It was a pretty exciting role for me."
Fitzgerald had been riding his pitchers all year. Things didn't change on Friday.
"Our pitchers today were warriors," Fitzgerald said. "Dylan Floro takes the ball and will throw until he dies. Brett came in and took command of the game. Markus gave us some big innings. What else can you say?"
For the players, it was great to know they have another week of baseball.
"This is my senior year and I want my last game to be a win," Melgosa said. "It feels great that we're still playing. We want to bring a section championship back to Merced."
Game 2, at Klein Family Field
Dylan Floro, Markus Melgosa (4), Brett Mooneyham (7) and Joe Medeiros; Michael Rivera, John Zeiter (7) and John Aschieris. WP - Melgosa. LP - Rivera.
ST. MARY'S -- none.

BUHACH COLONY -- Koehler (2B), Art Corona 2-3 (2B, RBI).

The limits on broadband connectivity are much more constrained than CPU speeds. For example, you won't be seeing any increases in the speed of analog modems. They have reached the theoretical limit of the physical medium. Part of the reason Moore's law works is because they are replacing everything that limits the speed with each generation.
For DSL the limits are constrained by the quality of medium and length.
For cable, the issue is how much of the bandwidth are they willing to devote to data, (as opposed to TV channels), and how many users are on the same cable.
If the providers invest in a new medium like optical fiber to the home then you will see a massive increase in bandwidth. Given the costs of replacing the existing infrastructure, I expect this to be gradual.

First Official Photo From "Dumb and Dumber To"
Posted: January 22nd, 2014 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
Thanks to the Farrelly Brothers, we now have our first official look at Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels as Lloyd and Harry in the "Dumb and Dumber To." Check out the photo below.
The sequel takes twenty years after the original film and focuses on Lloyd (Carrey) and Harry (Jeff Daniels) in search for Harry's daughter in order to get a kidney from her.
Rob Riggle, Kathleen Turner, Laurie Holden, Cam Neely (played Sea Bass in original) and Brady Bluhm (played Billy in 4C in original) co-star, while Jennifer Lawrence and several other celebrities are expected to make cameos.
"Dumb and Dumber To" is set to hit theaters on November 14th.

Lol, by the look of it, Jeff Daniels should be funnier than Carrey.
on January 22nd, 2014 at 8:48:57 AM
Oh Jim...10 years ago you turned down sequels to all of your films...and now look.
on January 22nd, 2014 at 9:50:22 AM
Man, I cannot wait to see something else.
on January 22nd, 2014 at 10:50:04 AM
i hope they put hot sauce on Jennifer Lawrence's feminine products and she dies of third degree vagina burns
on January 22nd, 2014 at 10:56:41 AM
Does the title make any sense? I can see Dumb and Dumber Two, or Dumb and Dumber Too, but Dumb and Dumber TO? What he f*ck does that even mean?
on January 22nd, 2014 at 11:59:40 AM
^ Lol isn't that the point?
on January 22nd, 2014 at 12:38:22 PM
It's the point if they're going for STUPID instead of FUNNY.
on January 22nd, 2014 at 1:17:36 PM
sh*t stopped being funny after the first Scary Movie

(had to check that office Space came out before Scary Movie)
on January 22nd, 2014 at 1:57:23 PM
Theres no way this movie makes it past the first week of september. Im gonna say early august is when it will come out
on January 22nd, 2014 at 2:17:11 PM
I think the title is also a play on internet idiots that always spell loser as looser and moron as moran and so on. Those f*ckwits will see the title and won't even notice that it's incorrect on purpose.
on January 22nd, 2014 at 2:33:15 PM
@Deaftone: same here. The whole "title for morons" thing was my immediate thought, but then I asked myself: where's the FUNNY in that?
Makes you wonder if the title is this damned bad, will the movie be any better?
on January 22nd, 2014 at 2:36:42 PM
I seriously doubt an August release because it would be up against Guardians of the Galaxy, The Expendables 3, and Sin City: A Dame To Kill For.
November this year actually has less competition with Interstellar and Mockingjay part 1 being the only big releases. A comedy against a tepid drama and a tween flick is a great alternative.
on January 22nd, 2014 at 2:41:57 PM
Well Jeff Daniels said he loved the script and would not have done it if Carrey didn't love it too and they wanted to only do it if it felt right.
Also I would think the Farrelys are certainly aware of their string of turkeys for over a decade now and would not just sh*t out a sequel without trying to make it a worthy sequel.
on January 22nd, 2014 at 2:53:34 PM
@deaft. I understand the competition there. But remember hunger games is a billion dollar a movie franchise now. Plus all of the august movies you mentioned were not comedies. I could see this coming out in august as a counter to those and doing well.
I just see the trailer coming up and creating buzz. Plus I already remember reading not that long ago that they already admitted they were looking into moving up the date.
on January 22nd, 2014 at 3:17:53 PM
I take my comedies seriously
now that Im part of the work force again,i can finally put OS back on top of my dvd most watched pile
watching OS when youre unemployed doesnt have the same effect
on January 22nd, 2014 at 3:19:00 PM
Yeah I suppose either one could happen. A lot of these movies will have tv spots during the pooper bowl as well.
on January 22nd, 2014 at 3:26:57 PM
@Deaftone: Interstellar is going to cream Dumb and Dumber. No way a sequel to a twenty year old movie "starring" to (see what I did there?) unfunny old has-beens is going to rout Christopher Nolan's next big project. No way. A January release for the next year would have been far better.
And sure Daniels and Carrey think they have a winner. But then would you trust the opinion of two losers who WILLINGLY let their careers slide into the toilet? They have to say it's funny. Not like they're going to say, oh no, this one sucks. Don't see it. Besides, it's Daniels last chance to have a name for himself in the world of Cinema, The Newsroom be damned.
on January 22nd, 2014 at 3:29:28 PM
-C +c.
@Pornfly: yeah, but Office Space's humor is contextual just like Waiting. If you've never worked in an office or a restaurant, the humor will be lost on you (the viewer). I say that because I find OS funny whether I'm working or not, even though I haven't seen a cubicle in years. Granted, not all of either film is entirely contextual, but the humor gels better if you've worked in the given environment.
on January 22nd, 2014 at 4:27:08 PM
I'm a little worried because the Farrelly brothers seem to care about two things so far. Showing that Carrey and Daniels are front and center and the number of celebrities that will be in it. I realize it's early in promoting it but it feels light in effect. On a side note, yes it is sad that Carrey has surrendered to his "no sequels" rule but he is always funny even if the movie isn't. He has a continuous energy which helps.
on January 22nd, 2014 at 6:34:44 PM
@mink and deaft
Exactly. If I were the folks in charge I would be alot more hesitant to go up against interstellar and hunger games than against the expendable 3.
We dont even know for sure how the expendable will fare this time. Didnt the 2nd one make less than the first one??? Guardians is not a sure thing, and id even bet its gonna wildly underperform, underworld style. Sin city, its been awhilr since the last one and its more of a niche market movie.
Dumb and dumber is a classic, played on tv all the time and multiple generations know of it. Not to mention know who jim carey is. Id even wager to bet once DnD trailer is out that it will have more buzz and following than any of those three will good or bad looking.
on January 22nd, 2014 at 7:02:27 PM
*waterworld not underworld
on January 22nd, 2014 at 7:25:09 PM
The Expendables 2 made 311 million vs. 275 mil for the first one.
Also, I can't find anything qhere anyone mentioned Dumb and Dumber To being released before November. Please post a link to what you read.
on January 22nd, 2014 at 7:25:42 PM
on January 22nd, 2014 at 7:28:39 PM
Also in your first comment vincere you say that you personally doubt Dumb and Dumber To will be out in Nov and now you're saying you read it somewhere?
Which is it?
on January 22nd, 2014 at 7:38:09 PM
@Deaftone: Ex 1 was also 20 million cheaper and Ex2 opened in more venues.
on January 22nd, 2014 at 9:10:37 PM
Phones not letting me paste link for whatever reason. But google dumb and dumber to laughspin.
Its an interview with one of the farrely brothers. First or second paragraph he mentions hes pressuring the studio to move up the date. From like 4 days ago
on January 22nd, 2014 at 9:11:51 PM
@ deaft
Both. I read it there and personally believe it will indeed be moved up. Whats the problem?
on January 22nd, 2014 at 9:12:57 PM
And as mink said. Exp. 2 cost more to make, promote and release and barely made more money. So im sure that equals less profit then
on January 22nd, 2014 at 9:36:02 PM
Well here's the link and I can paste it with no problem with my basic-ass android phone:
And here is the paragraph, again pasted with my basic-ass android phone:
Dumb and Dumber To is wrapped and he�s excited!
Just finished shooting. �[I] don�t want to brag, but it could be the best movie of all time.� It�s currently scheduled for a Nov. 14 release, but the filmmakers are pressuring the studio to move the release date up, possibly for a summer launch.
I think you can see why it's wrong to initially take credit for something you read someone else saying and then make excuses on why you can't just paste a link about it.
on January 22nd, 2014 at 9:44:35 PM
@deaft. Dude I wasnt trying to take credit for anything. I said what I personally thought was going to happen and then remembered that I did read it somewhere so then I mentioned that too.
I read alot of interviews and articles from all over the place and dont always remember where or who and whatnot.
Plus if I was actually trying to take full credit for something why would I then say that I read it somewhere and thats why im saying I think it will release in summer?
I just dont understand what the problem is here or why you are deciding to jump on me about it. I feel as if I was making conversation and being as clear and upfront as possible. Just dont understand the issue here. Anybody else???
on January 22nd, 2014 at 9:46:30 PM
And for the record, when the original story came out saying november was the release day I thought then that there was no way it was going to come out then and that I thought it would be summer. Thought it was odd to come out a year after filming wrapped. Just sayin
on January 22nd, 2014 at 9:48:26 PM
I'm just saying you should cite your references and sources. It's an ancient concept and rule.
on January 22nd, 2014 at 9:48:29 PM
And I said im guessing it would come out in august. And as you clearly cut and pasted the article I mentioned, it clearly does not mention where it might move to let alone August. So id say im still guessing something not mentioned in the article anyway. So theres that.
on January 22nd, 2014 at 9:51:10 PM
I would have if I had remembered where I read it. I do alot of reading late at night and sometimes for extended periods of time. I cant possibly remember exactly where I read something. I had to google it to find out. And it was the first result that came up when I searched for "dumb and dumber to release date move up". So it wasnt exactly hard. Just didnt want to go search for it at the time because I was at work posting in a free minute here and there
on January 22nd, 2014 at 9:52:35 PM
And also for the record my phone let me copy it but not paste it. Have no idea why, happened to me the other day as well. Not some made up reason. Theres no conspiracy here
on January 22nd, 2014 at 9:55:34 PM
on January 22nd, 2014 at 9:56:02 PM
Ya, now it works lol
on January 22nd, 2014 at 10:09:15 PM
Lol, I need a better phone because my Galaxy S2 took a sh*t and barely works so now i'm using an LG Optimus F3 for now. I think i'll get the HTC Desire like next month.
on January 23rd, 2014 at 12:04:47 PM
oh you haters!...i'm expecting this to turn out better than ace ventura 2...besides nothing was bizarre as lois einhorn...i'll reserve final judgement till i have seen the film, until then i'm gonna support it because whether it's too late or not, it's still better than a lot of other dumb entertainment or so they call it

ImaginePosted: November 30, 2015 Filed under: Soft Wings | Tags: Fabriano Watercolour Paper, Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolour paints, Penny Black creative dies, Penny Black stamps 8 Comments
Many of you are familiar with the fabulous online stamping community 'Splitcoaststampers'. I have been a member for years and have appreciated the wealth of resources provided and the warm interaction and encouragement of the members. I was honoured to be invited at the beginning of this year to be a member of the Splitcoast design team, The Dirty Dozen. While a 'Dirty Girl' I was tasked with creating six projects each month inspired by a monthly theme. Back in April these projects were for fan club members only. It is one of the ways Splitcoast says thank you to fan club members for their financial support. Splitcoast membership is free but by paying a yearly subscription to the fan club you enjoy more resources and privileges while contributing to the running costs.
I was thrilled to be asked to join the 'Dirty Dozen' but I was a little apprehensive about thinking up a bunch of projects each month on a set theme. Themed challenges have a way of freezing up my creative juices! But a challenge is meant to be just that, a challenge and the results can be surprising. I met each challenge and was so happy to be taken outside my comfort zone. Each month I was blown away by the projects created by the rest of the team.
I enjoyed all the months but my favourite ended up being the 'Imagine that' challenge. I have turned the projects from that month into a story book week here on my blog. I'll be back tomorrow with the first story book inspired card.
Stamps: Soft Wings, Letter background (PB)
Dies: Envision (PB)
Inks: Versamark, Rich Cocoa (Tsukineko)
Cardstock: Fabriano 100% cotton hotpressed watercolour paper, gold cardstock, brown cardstock
Also:Water colour with Gansai Tambi paints, gold embossing powder
Greatest of thesePosted: September 9, 2015 Filed under: Love Chapter, Soft Wings | Tags: Penny Black stamps, Ranger Distress inks, Ranger Distress stains, Tsukineko Memento inks 7 Comments
Today's card is an example of wet into wet watercolour with some stamping added later for definition and texture. I wet the taped panel of watercolour paper then stamped a pale butterfly to give me an outline to paint over. I painted in pinks and purples and added background colour in teal. When it was dry I restamped in dark blue and did some partial stamping with the text stamp from the 'love chapter' transparent set.
I love watching the colour blend and blur when I stamp onto wet watercolour paper. If you haven't tried it you should; it's fun and you can always stamp over it if it is just too loose and flowy for you! I mentioned Periscope in my last post; if you'd like to know more about it I found this helpful tutorial.
By the way the latest One Layer Simplicity challenge is up and running with Ardyth. It's all about numbers; check it out.

Inks: Pine needles, Chipped Sapphire, Aged Mahogany, Worn Lipstick distress stains and inks (Ranger) Summer Sky memento ink (Tsukineko)

Birthday BisterPosted: August 3, 2015 Filed under: Bister, Footnotes, Soft Wings | Tags: Bister, Penny Black stamps, Ranger Distress stains 16 Comments
For my daughter's 21st birthday card I chose blues, greens and the 'soft wings' butterfly stamp I always enjoy using. A reader commented a while back that bister and color burst work well with butterflies so it was time to try. I stamped the butterfly in a mix of distress stains which created a watery imprint I could add the blue and green bister powder to. I did multiple impressions then left them to dry while I added some texture around the rest of the panel. I used distress stain on the text stamp from 'footnotes' to add the patterns and did some splattering and spritzing with both stains and pearl-ex spray. Once the whole panel was dry I added the sentiment then trimmed and sponged some darker colour around the edges before adding some thread and popping up the panel on a watercolour paper card base.
Stamps: Sprinkles & Smiles, Soft Wings, Footnotes (PB)
Inks: Bundled Sage, Pine Needles, Evergreen Bough, Salty Ocean Distress Stains (Ranger) Deep Lagoon & Olympia Green Versafine inks (Tsukineko)

Butterfly on a WallPosted: April 11, 2014 Filed under: Brick Wall, Soft Wings, Twirls, Watercolour | Tags: Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer Watercolour pencils, Fabriano Watercolour Paper, Penny Black stamps, Tsukineko Memento inks 16 Comments
I sat and coloured with watercolour pencils the other night while watching Skyfall. I started with the butterfly stamped in Memento Angel Pink to give me a pale outline for colouring. Once the colouring and blending was finished I restamped the butterfly over the top, this time in Memento Grape Jelly. I wasn't sure what to add as background so I painted a grey wash first then sketched a shadowy stem with leaves. It still wasn't quite what I wanted so I added some bricks by masking the butterfly and stamping the brick wall stamp. Of course I splattered a bit of blue, orange and grey around too. I realize now that either the butterfly is huge or the bricks are way in the background.
The panel I had created was basically square so I decided to make a larger than usual card for me. I added just one strip of orange then framed it with a purple cardbase. Ardyth just reminded me the current Card Concept challenge is a butterfly one so I will link up there. I am not sure that this card fits neatly into a particular style but the closest is probably shabby chic & vintage.
Stamps: Soft Wings, Sentimental, Brick Wall
Inks: Memento Grape Jelly, London Fog, Angel pink (Tsukineko)
Pencils: Albrecht Durer Blue Violet 137, True Blue 148, Medium Grey 197, Prussian Blue 151 Light Orange 113 (Faber-Castell)
Cardstock: Fabriano 100% cotton hot pressed watercolour paper, Purple Mountain mix & match paper, Summer Sun mix & match paper (Penny Black)
Watercolour butterfly tutorialPosted: January 25, 2014 Filed under: Background Stamps, Schizeas, Soft Wings, Tutorial, Watercolour | Tags: Penny Black stamps, Tsukineko Memento inks, Tutorial 21 Comments
Believe it or not here is my second tutorial for the year and it's still January! You will see in the video I am using a different watercolour block to the one I usually use. It is 7″x 10″ so I divided it into four panels to create four little watercolour pictures. Only two will end up on the blog, this one and a little snowscape. The other two were tossed. I flicked masking fluid over the watercolour paper before I began filming the tutorial. Embarrassingly the panel was not centred at the beginning of the video but I corrected it after a minute or so. You can see that some of the ink seeped under the painter's tape I masked with. I didn't crop that out because I thought it added to the whole "vintage-found it in the attic" feel of the card. As you know usually I would not mat with a patterned panel but I just wanted more of the lovely elderberry & cantaloupe colour combo so it is a little busier than my usual.
Stamps: Soft Wings, Decadence, Schizea (PB)
Inks: Memento Dandelion, Cantaloupe, Tangelo, Rich Cocoa, Elderberry, Olive Grove (Tsukineko)
Cardstock: CartieraMagnani 100% cotton hot pressed watercolour paper
Also: Winsor & Newton Masking Fluid
OLW 158 Fly away with mePosted: September 18, 2013 Filed under: CAS, OLW, Soft Wings 13 Comments
This week's One Layer Wednesday challenge is to feature something with wings on your card. I chose this beautiful butterfly stamp and a palette of browns.
I masked the left hand side of the card front so I could sponge and stamp the right hand side. I have roughly used the rule of thirds for my stamped panel. The butterfly is stamped over both sides directing the eye from left to right. I also added a little sponging to the bottom edge in keeping with the vintage feel of the card.
OLW 158 Rules
1. A one-layer card is defined as a single layer of card stock folded in half. No other layers of paper allowed.
2. Make a card with wings on it. It could feature birds, butterflies, planes, mosquitos ; anything with wings.
3. Post your card somewhere online and link back to it here using the InLinkz button on the sidebar. If linking to a blog post, please be sure to link to the specific post and not your blog's home page.
4. The most important rule of all…HAVE FUN!
Butterfly DiePosted: June 28, 2013 Filed under: CAS, Delicate Wings, Dies, Soft Wings 21 Comments
After a week of sneak peaks, Penny Black's new Creative Dies are now available in the store. What a treat to have all these beautiful dies to which co-ordinate with some of my favourite stamps. I chose the Delicate Wings die to cut a mask out of a post-it so I could sponge a background of blue for the soft wings stamp. I sponged Versamagic chalk inks in three shades of blue then used a stamp positioning tool to add the detailed stamp in Versafine Majestic Blue. I used two post-its as masks so I could sponge a base of colour to stamp my sentiment over.
Visit the Penny Black blog for this week's sneak peaks and links to the design teams creations using the new dies.
Stamps: Soft Wings, Reflection (PB)
Inks: Versamagic Night Sky, Sea Breeze and Aegean Blue, Versafine Majestic Blue(Tsukineko)
Dies: Delicate Wings

PREPS: Benson battles its way into state title game
Pushed by the doubts of others — perceived or real — the Benson Techsters never once doubted themselves throughout Friday's girls basketball Class 6A semifinal with Beaverton.
Not when the Beavers opened up leads of nine or 10 points.
Not when chances to score off steals failed to drop.
And certainly not when Beaverton's Sydney Erikstrup was shooting two free throws with six seconds left and the game tied.
In the Benson huddle, coach Eric Knox told his team exactly what was going to happen.
"I said, 'We're going to win this game,'" Knox said. "'Don't you panic. She's going to miss one of them. Tayler (Lyday), get the ball and go full length of the court and go get a bucket.'"
That is exactly what happened as Lyday capped a brilliant 34-point afternoon at Chiles Center by dribbling end to end for the game-winning layup.
Thanks to a 54-53 outcome that might have seemed improbable to many outside the Benson program, the seventh-seeded Techsters (21-5) will play at 3:15 p.m. Saturday for the state title. Top-ranked Southridge (25-1) will present a significant challenge, but Benson is all about responding to challenges.
"Coach was telling us the whole game to just keep pushing, don't give up, we're going to win this game. And everyone kept that in their mind," Lyday said. "That's how we kept our çomposure. That's how we executed and got the buckets we needed."
Plenty of those buckets came through Lyday, who was pretty much unstoppable around the basket. The 6-1 junior was 12 for 17 from the floor and made 10 of 16 free throws in her career-high effort.
But, as Lyday quickly pointed out, she wasn't the only hero.
Trailing by nine points as time ran down in the third quarter, Ciera Ellington drained a 3-pointer from in front of the Benson bench. Those were her only points of the game.
"My teammates and coach told me to shoot it, so I shot it," said Ellington, who is playing with a sore hamstring. "I was missing all night, but it went in and I felt like, 'OK, I can calm down. I can breathe.'"
When Makenzy Porter swished a 3 on the first fourth-quarter possession, the margin was three points and the stage was set for a breathless finish.
Benson, which never led by more than one point, took a 48-47 lead on a Lyday drive with 2:28 left. Beaverton's Alexa Borter hit a 3 and Sydney Ekstrup scored a layup to put the Beavers up 52-48 with 52 seconds remaining.
Lyday was fouled inside and hit the first of two free throws with 34 seconds left. She missed the second, but Benson's Aujay Yoakum grabbed the rebound and Porter made a 3 to tie the game with 30 seconds left.
Beaverton's Erikstrum — who finished with 23 points and 11 rebounds — attacked the basket and was fouled with 6.1 seconds on the clock. She missed the first, made the second.
Then Lyday did her thing.
"Coach told me in the huddle, 'When you get the ball, push it. Don't stop. Don't hesitate, or you will get fouled,'" Lyday said. "I just put my head down and went, and I was at the hoop and put it in."
Beaverton — which will play West Linn for third place at 1:30 p.m. Saturday — led by as many as nine points in the first half, outrebounding Benson, 16-7, and collecting 10 second-chance points.
But the Techsers hung in despite guards Porter and Ludia Lukeji both picking up their third foul by the middle of the second quarter. Porter stayed on the floor.
"I understand that I need to be on the floor, Fouling is always a hard thing for me. I'm an aggressive player," Porter said. "(Knox) just told me to be a bulldog but not too much of a bulldog."
Porter played all 32 minutes and did not pick up another foul, finishing with nine points.
Lyday was a handful inside from the start. She scored all 10 Benson points in the first quarter and nine more in the second. That effort countered the six Beavers who scored in the first half.
Benson could have been in better shape at halftime if not for several close-range misses and a 10-second period when Beaverton (23-3) made two steals in a six-point burst.
But every time the game started to slip Beaverton's direction, Benson responded.
"When we were on the ropes and our legs were wobbling, we fought back and got ourselves back in the game," said a smiling Knox.
"There wasn't anything at stake for us," the coach insisted. "We already got farther than anybody ever expected. So we're playing loose. We're having fun. I knew we were going to come back. Our kids play composed, and we're fighters."

Emmental (pronounced "EM-en-tall") is a type of Swiss cheese made from whole cow's milk. Because this medium-hard cheese takes its name from its homeland in Switzerland, you might see its name as Emmenthal in recipes and more modern cookbooks, or as Emmentaler or Emmenthaler. If you're a purist in your buying habits and see the cheese as Emmentaler Switzerland, you can be assured you're getting the real thing from Switzerland.
Emmental Goes Global
Although it is named for the Emme River Valley, where it was originally made, Emmental cheese can be made anywhere. France and Germany are big producers of Emmental. In the United States, while you can find Emmental cheese labeled as such, you may know it by its more familiar name: Swiss cheese.
Some specialty cheesemakers are unwilling to break with the traditional methods of making Emmental, even importing the vats they use from the cheese's home canton.
Identifying Your Emmental
Emmental is a firm cheese with a pale yellow color and a buttery, mildly sharp, slightly nutty taste. Emmental features the characteristic holes or "eyes" typical of Swiss cheese. The holes in Emmental are formed by gas bubbles released by the bacteria that are used in making the cheese.
Proper Pairings
Because it melts so well, Emmental is frequently used in sauces and grilled sandwiches. Emmental is one of the two main kinds of cheese (along with Gruyère) in a traditional fondue recipe. Of course, you can dress up your favorite mac-n-cheese recipe by using Emmental. Don't neglect the idea of using this Swiss favorite just as it is, sliced off the cheese wheel.
Try serving your Emmental with wines; it goes particularly well with a Merlot, a Reisling, Beaujolais or Champagne. If you're a beer drinker, you might want to try a Belgian beer, a light lager, or a stout to complement the slightly fruity taste of your cheese.
Pair your fresh cheese with apples, grapes, peaches, and pears on the cheese tray. You can even use the flavored crackers; they'll stand up well.
Storage for Your Cheese
Emmental cheese can be stored in the refrigerator for five to six days. But if you wrap it properly—insert parchment between slices and then wrap the entire package loosely in plastic wrap—it will last a tad longer.
For chunks of cheese, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Keep an eye out for mold. If you see any, toss the whole thing. Keep your refrigerated cheese in the cheese compartment or even the vegetable drawer, but far away from pungent herbs or spices. You want to taste the cheese, not garlic or onion.
Grated Emmental can be frozen and successfully stored for up to a month. Make sure you remove the air from the storage bag.
No matter how you store the cheese when you serve it, you want your cheese at room temperature. So give your cheese time to warm up before you serve it to your guests or use it in your recipe.
A Continental Twist
A Reuben sandwich made with real Emmental cheese is a giant step up from the ordinary. Not only is the melted cheese creamier, but the taste is also just a bit more fruity than conventional Swiss cheese. For a continental twist, layer your cheese with thick slices of your favorite ham and put the two foods on multigrain bread, sourdough, or pumpernickel with mayonnaise or dijon mustard. Butter the bread and heat on a griddle.Ooh, la la.

Personal preference or bad form? (18-10-17 @ 15:47:07)
I'm currently working on learning Gymnopedie no.1 and I have a question about fingering. The B, D,F# chord and A, C#,F# chord are probably notated as using your pinkie, middle, and thumb fingers but I feel more comfortable using my pinkie, middle, and pointing fingers instead. Is it okay that I do this or should I learn it the right way?
Please help.
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
