This week, I'm working in North Carolina near my home town of Mayberry (yes, that's really where I'm from). My folks live just up the road, so I stopped in for a few hours to visit. On the way back to my hotel, I snapped this picture of Mount Pilot (a.k.a. Pilot Mountain) through the windshield of my rental car. It makes me wonder how many trips Andy and Opie made there…

Today was another great day in sunny Florida! So we took the boat out for a bit this afternoon and floated leisurely up Durbin Creek. The boys were disappointed that we weren't going to get up to "super fast" speed, but I piqued their interest when I told 'em to look out for alligators.
Well, we didn't spot any alligators, just a bunch of turtles. They thought that was pretty cool, too…

A big step for Alex this afternoon. The boys were invited to a birthday pool party for their friend at the community center. After some pizza, the boys all hit the pool. Alex, who normally stays close to the edge ventured into the middle of the pool! He'll be swimming across it soon!

Berliner Gambenbuch. Music for Viola da Gamba from 17th century
- Kod: C5206
- Producent: Capriccio (D)
- Wykonawca: Juliane Laake / Ensemble Art d'Echo

- Cena: 56,99 zł

opakowanie: plastikowe etui
Editor's info:
At the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris there exists a very unusual 17th century manuscript of music for solo viola da gamba (lyra viol), known only by its shelf number Réserve 1111. This tiny leather-bound book is elongated and has 270 pages. Compiled by at least eight different individual hands, the music is notated almost entirely in tablature and reflects a variety of scordatura tunings. It was acquired by the Berlin library in 1880 and is generally thought to originate from the Brandenburg region that is part of northern Germany. Near the end of the Thirty Years War, Brandenburg started to regain its prosperity and stability under the leadership of Frederick William, known as the "Great Elector" (reigned 1640-1688). Quite a number of the finest viola da gamba players of the day are known to have visited or spent time there. Frederick William himself played the treble viol. Rés. 1111 has never been published in a facsimile or modern edition. Not only were there a great number of pieces with which to come to grips, but Juliane Laake also had to find some way to organize them into a coherent and presentable narrative. What you hear now is a record of her exploration and sleuthing and discovery.

if i get one more baby shower, wedding invitation or bridal shower invite i am going to have put a 2nd mortgage on my house or something. The past two weeks i have got 2 baby shower, 2 bridal shower, and 2 wedding invites. At least they come in pairs, huh. Pair that with all the people leaving at work, or having babies and i am about to sell my eggs to afford all of this.
Will it ever stop raining?
Before i was stabbed with my tetanus shot today, they weighted me and i almost died right there of a heart attack. I have gained at least 15 pounds since my car accident. That is so depressing. I guess I shouldn't of had that pizza for lunch today. I may have to use Jenn's idea and post about weight loss to give me an incentive to get my ass in gear. My back is feeling better, not 100% but i think i can get my ass off the couch, and start eating better. I miss working out, and feeling good all around. i am weird though and like to start on Monday's (i know...) so this Monday is d-day! wish me luck!
Last week i posted some wise words from Blake mentioning that Lily would sleep anywhere her bed was. Turns out that is true. Here she is on top of the fireplace. She was also put on top of the coffee table but i didn't get a pic of that one.
A little while ago, She had a doggy play date with this guy
her boyfriend vinny. She totally dug him.Hope you all are having a great week! Thank heavens tomorrow is thursday! Friday couldn't come soon enough. Now, i'm off to take massive amounts of Advil.

As far back as sexy, blue-eyed Andrew Darling can remember, money provided
everything he wanted. Expensive cars, prestigious schools and exotic
vacations. But his life of luxury comes to a crashing halt with a single
phone call.
Morgan Montgomery, a newly divorced woman whose spirited personality and
hard work have earned her the respect of her employers and colleagues.
difference between wants and needs because although he wants Morgan in his
bed, he realized he needs her.
"Wait! We…should…stop," I pant.
"No we shouldn't," he counters. Then with a heavy breath, he promises,
"I'll be gone by tomorrow night."
To spend an incredible night with Andrew Darling or ask him to leave.
When my name falls from his lips, my decision is solidified.
Wanting to slow things down to enjoy every second, I pull his mouth back to
mine. Kissing Andrew Darling is better than I remember. I can only imagine
how incredible the fucking is going to be once again.
"Andrew," I breathe.
He hums in response.
"Look at me," I plead.
Although the room is dark, the exterior fixtures provide enough light for
me to see his lust-filled eyes staring down at me.
"I know you're leaving tomorrow, but stay with me tonight." All night I want to add.
I reach for the hem of his orange Broncos T-shirt and lift up. Needing to
rid the barrier, he pulls it off and tosses it away. Showing appreciation
for his perfect form, my hands skate along his skin and through the
sprinkling of chest hair. My index finger continues its downward descent to
his navel and I suppress a smile, thinking about how I had caused strife
earlier in the day.
It's time to make amends.
Encouraging him to lay beneath me, I free the single button and lower the
zipper on his shorts. While I kneel between his thighs, my lips kiss along
the elastic band of his boxers and my hand strokes his length. The rigidity
extends from tip to base and stiffens with my touch. Licking my lips in
anticipation, I tug at the elastic waistband and free his substantial
erection. Oh, his glory, his form, his size.
With his back propped against the pillows and his arms crossed beneath his
head, Andrew watches me work his cock with my hand. Maintaining eye
contact, I lower my mouth and glide my tongue across the head, circling
around the bead of pre-cum before licking it while my free hand roams
greedily over the planes of his abs.
Andrew hisses then moans when I lick my way down to his full sac then
return my attention to his shaft. Opening my mouth, I welcome him in. He
fills my mouth entirely just as I remember. Closing my eyes, I concentrate
on sucking rhythmically while trying not to gag when he suddenly bucks his
hips and hits the back of my throat. I pull away and smile coyly. "Let me
do this my way."
"Your mouth feels so fucking good."
The contact of my hands and mouth elicits several cursed groans as his
hands grasp my head and guide the motion.
"Holy fuck," he curses. "You need to stop."
I shake my head, loving what I'm doing and how I'm making him feel.
"Morgan," he barks my name just as his phone rings. "I want to fuck you."
Sitting up quickly, Andrew reaches down for what I presume is his phone,
but he produces a condom instead. The ringing stops as he rolls the sheath
over his erection, but then the sound quickly begins once again.

Today Pope Francis announced a Jubilee Year of Mercy to start on December 8th
So why was today chosen to launch a year of mercy?
During the 1930's, a young nun from a poor family in Poland began receiving visions and messages from our Lord, Jesus. Eventually Sister Maria Faustina Kowalska had filled more than 600 pages in her diaries with these divine revelations. Along with the messages that Jesus gave to Sr. Faustina, He also instructed her to paint the famous Divine Mercy image which shows red and white rays of light coming forth from the Sacred Heart of Jesus accompanied by the words 'Jesus, I trust in You.' Jesus informed Faustina that this image was to be venerated and used as a reminder of God's limitless mercy for absolutely everyone.
The miracle that led to St. Faustina's canonization is obviously attributed to her intercession; however, the recipient of this miracle gave the credit to Jesus who had healed him after St. Faustina put in a "good word" for him. This miracle happened on October 5, 1995, the feast day of St. Faustina (who was then a blessed) to Fr. Ron Pytel. Fr. Ron had permanent heart damage which doctors gave another three years before he would die. While at the Shrine of the Divine Mercy in Baltimore, Fr. Ron spent some time in prayer asking that his heart would be healed. Upon venerating a relic of St. Faustina he collapsed. Despite feeling paralyzed, Fr. Ron felt completely at peace. Soon after this incident Fr. Ron visited his cardiologist, and to his surprise, discovered that the priest's heart had been completely. Five years after being told that he only had three left to live, Fr. Ron joined Pope John Paul II for the canonization of St. Faustina, the first saint of the new millennia.
The Divine Mercy has had an enormous impact on the world since the revelations to St. Faustina. Although there are many ways the Divine Mercy has influenced our lives, I'm going to highlight three big ones.
- The Divine Mercy Image: This beautiful portrait of our Lord is now a common item among many churches and households throughout the world. When Jesus gave this image to St. Faustina, He told her that it is to be venerated. This means that this particular image of Jesus is to be regarded with great respect or, in other words, adored because it is holy (similar to venerating relics of saints). Imagine if we took the initial request to venerate the Divine Mercy image to heart. Our knees might begin to hurt because of how many times we would be genuflecting in front of this picture. That may seem a bit obscure, but when Jesus said that this divinely inspired depiction of Himself is to be venerated, He meant it. So, the next time you come across the image of Divine Mercy maybe bow your head or cross yourself to honor our Redeemer.
- The Divine Mercy Chaplet: The chaplet was given to us as a way to meditate on the passion of Jesus and so we could understand more fully His mercy. Jesus made it easy for us to remember by using the same beads that are used for the rosary. Each prayer is a constant meditation on God's mercy for His children. When we pray this chaplet we can come to understand that the passion wasn't just for us, but for the sake of the whole world. "O blood and water which gushed forth from the heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in you."
- Divine Mercy Sunday: Instituted by St. John Paul II to be celebrated on the second Sunday of Easter, this special day is one of the biggest ways in which God showers is unlimited mercy upon the world. Specifically, St. Faustina stated in her diary that anyone who participates in the mass and receives the sacraments of reconciliation and the Eucharist on this day is promised by Jesus to gain full remission of their sins and punishments. Jesus is so abundant in mercy that He is willing to remove all the purgatory time we have allotted throughout our lives and wipe our slates completely clean.
This was not a new teaching when it was revealed to St. Faustina about 80 years ago. Divine Mercy is a reminder of what the Church has always taught through scripture and tradition: that God is merciful and willing to forgive us of anything and that we as His children are called to imitate Him. We can easily remember the message of Divine Mercy by following the ABC's:
- Ask for His Mercy: Go to God. He desires for us to be with Him in heaven so much that He sent His only Son to die for us. Don't let that mercy go to waste, He wants to give it to you.
- Be merciful: Just as our God is merciful, so should we be. He wants His mercy to flow through us to others. His mercy and forgiveness extends to the entire human race and it is our job to spread this wonderful news.
- Completely trust in Jesus: How can we receive His mercy if we don't trust in Him to give it to us? That is putting limits on the power and love of God, of which He has none. If Jesus was able to forgive and show mercy to the men who had abandoned Him during His passion, then He is more than willing to show mercy to us when we have sinned. There is nothing we can do that He won't forgive if we repent.
Jesus I Trust In You!

The British filmmaker Phil Grabsky got to know the young Afghan Mir while filming him for the documentary The Boy Who Plays on the Buddhas of Bamiyan, which screened at IDFA in 2003. Mir and his family had fled from the north of the country and were living in a cave next to where the Taliban had blown up the giant ancient statues of the Buddha. Grabsky then decided to continue to follow Mir's life for the following 10 years. In The Boy Mir, we see him growing up from a playful eight-year-old into a young man with an uncertain future. Grabsky shows the day-to-day life of a poor Afghan family and allows Mir, his father and caring brother-in-law to reveal their hopes and concerns. They are back in their village in the north of Afghanistan, where it is now more peaceful, although progress is painfully slow. As a child, Mir wanted to become a teacher or president, but now his thoughts are more concerned with survival. He has to till the fields, gather firewood and load coal in an extremely dangerous mine. Now and again, news reports inform us about the deteriorating political situation, but Mir's difficulties are more quotidian in nature. Despite everything, the film is full of humor and fun - and a testimony to the human spirit. It is also an extremely revealing look inside Afghanistan.

Transport business agglomeration model
Agglomeration modelling captures the benefits to firms and workers of being in close proximity. Firms gain productivity benefits from being near one another and within large labour markets. In transport projects, agglomeration benefits arise from improved travel times that effectively bring districts closer.
Quantifying agglomeration effects is a widely accepted part of cost benefit analyses in economic impact assessments. Agglomeration methodologies are well-established in some regions (for example, the UK), but elsewhere no accepted approach is available (such as Australia). Assessment of agglomeration impacts has clear value for clients: agglomeration is a key part of business investment narratives and its effects can be a substantial source of economic benefit.
Use of agglomeration modelling in cost-benefit appraisals for transport projects is rapidly becoming the norm.
The quantification of agglomeration impacts incorporates benchmarked elasticities of demand to measure the impact that a change in one variable has on another.
This project developed a tool for quantifying agglomeration impacts where no established approach is available. Specifically, the project developed a robust framework and tool for quantifying the impacts of agglomeration in Australia, with focus on transport business.
The adopted approach has the potential to be applied in other countries.
Quantification of agglomeration has clear potential value for clients. Capturing agglomeration impact forms a key part of an investment narrative.
The scale of the impact varies from project to project: a recent business case used a benchmark figure of 30% uplift in benefits attributable to wider economic benefits, of which agglomeration was a key driver.
Quantifying agglomerations helps boost the benefit-cost ratio (BCR) of projects and supports a well-founded analysis and justification of investment.

June is typically a rough month for stocks and so we're beginning to see more of the defensive sectors outperform, said Mark Tepper, managing partner and co-founder of Strategic Wealth Partners.
"We're definitely positioned much more defensively than 2 to 3 months ago," Tepper told CNBC.
"With QE2 [Fed quantitative easing] wrapping up, we feel the markets have been spoiled since Jackson Holein that the corrections have been extremely shallow."
Tepper expects that once the Fed's support is eventually removed, volatility is going to increase throughout the summer and corrections in the 10 to 15 percent are going to become "much more common."

President Trump isn't as powerful as he thinks he is, thankfully.
This is a man who's happy to wave around the threat of nuclear annihilation with frightening casualness, who's ripped refugee children from their parents' arms and taken the US out of the crucial UN compact for migration, and eventually sneaked the discriminatory ban on travellers from Muslim-majority countries past the US courts.
But he isn't going to stop the world's work — as inadequate and slow as it is — to tackle climate change, and take on other pressing environmental threats, much as he clearly would like to.
He's doing damage, certainly.
Trump is empowering forces in other countries that wish to protect the interests of short-term corporate profits over the survivability of the planet.
He's encouraging US manufacturers to drop their environmental standards, which given the already outrageous levels of American consumption, will have a global impact.
And in cutting funding to Nasa's carbon monitoring system, which has been monitoring national efforts to cut carbon emissions, he's slowing but not stopping oversight of progress. But most of the damage Trump is doing is to the United States.
The US president is taking climate change from the Federal Emergency Management Agency's planning, trying to revive the coal industry at the expense of renewables, ending restrictions on toxic air pollution, removing inevitably rising sea levels from flood risk standards, and slashing the Environmental Protection Agency's budget.
All of these things are hurting his nation's people, their industries, their global competitiveness and standing in the world.
We are all in this together, and any nation that doesn't pull its weight, any leader who values the profits of his super-rich friends over the wellbeing of all, is behaving unacceptably.
He has left the US isolated as the one rogue state that isn't a signatory to the Paris climate accord, which acknowledged that we have to keep global warming at well below 2C to avoid the threat of catastrophic climate change.
The purely national impacts of his actions are a matter for the people of the United States – who did not of course elect him as president, since it was the undemocratic electoral system that put him in power, despite Hillary Clinton receiving more votes. They, like us in the UK, clearly need to become a democracy.
But the global impacts are a matter for all of us, and one reason why I, and many other Green Party members, will be on the streets of London and other British cities sending a message to the US President during his visit to the UK.
That message is: we are all citizens of the world. We only have one fragile planet, which is already at or past its physical limits – in the level of carbon dioxide in the air, in the plastics choking its seas, in the destruction of its soils and fresh water sources, in the collapse of biodiversity and bioabundance.
We are all in this together, and any nation that doesn't pull its weight, any leader who values the profits of his super-rich friends over the wellbeing of all, is behaving unacceptably.
They will face not just the anger of the world's people.
I have no confidence at all that Theresa May – who'll be followed forever by that teeth-wrenchingly awful image of her hand-in-hand with Trump like a small child – will be saying these things to the him.
She should be, but, like so many other of her responsibilities as prime minister, it is being buried by the pressures of the impossibility of managing an orderly Brexit.
Her failure to do that will do further damage to Britain's already much-battered reputation on the international stage.
But the people of Britain will be stepping up to do it for her.
Mr Trump, climate change is real. We demand you act on that information – which your own experts are giving you. It's our world. We won't allow you to wreck it.

Dallas Mavericks
Car-less Yogi Ferrell catches IndyCar ride, talks Mavericks draft
Yogi Ferrell has been hitching rides with teammates since joining the Dallas Mavericks last January. He got rid of his ride, a Chevrolet Tahoe, when he joined the Brooklyn Nets after going undrafted a year ago out of Indiana.
But none of his teammates has the driving credentials of the man who gave Ferrell a lift on Friday. Ferrell had an IndyCar experience of a lifetime, taking a couple laps with former Indianapolis 500 champion Mario Andretti at Texas Motor Speedway.
"You felt it, man … the G-force is pretty crazy," Ferrell said. "I've never gone that fast before. Once you get in that car going that fast, everything else is pretty much just thrown out the window and just focus on the track. Just fun being in there."
Ferrell, 24, went to the track as a guest of driver Ed Carpenter. Ferrell and Carpenter graduated from the same high school in Indianapolis, Park Tudor.
Outside of his racing experience, Ferrell reflected back on his rookie season, during which he averaged 11.3 points and played in 39 games (29 starts) for the Mavericks.
On his rookie season: "A lot of ups and downs in my first professional season, but just proud of the way I stuck with it. I made the most of my opportunity. Now it's just being able to build off that opportunity into something that can be a great story, great success for myself."
On coach Rick Carlisle not labeling him as a starter or a backup: "The biggest thing he said right after the season ended is vision on the court — being able to make all different kinds of reads in the pick and roll. That's the biggest thing. He knows I can shoot it, I can score, he just said that I have to focus on my vision. That comes with experience and time and just working on it in a live setting at practice."
On thoughts on Mavericks possibly drafting a point guard: "Actually I have no thoughts [on the draft]. What I've learned from the NBA is things can change from one hour to the next. People can have different opinions about stuff, but I know whoever we bring is going to be someone who is a winner and wants to compete."
On going undrafted a year ago: "I know a lot of things go into it. I felt like throughout my predraft process I had 11 out of 16 workouts where I feel like I impressed organizations. Dallas was one of them. … I wasn't disappointed [to go undrafted]."
On his next ride: "Right now, I'm car-less. I've got to invest in one here pretty soon. I did have a Tahoe, so I like the trucks."

I see a lot of places wrapping dough in plastic wrap and placing it in cold storage. Just curious as to what the idea behind this is?
I see a lot of places wrapping dough in plastic wrap and placing it in cold storage. Just curious as to what the idea behind this is?
Save 0
There are a few ways to store dough while it ferments. Using sheet pans is fairly common. If the dough isn't covered during this process, it will form a skin on the outside, making it harder to shape and ultimately affecting the end result.
Because of how sheet pans are designed, there's no lid, so you end up covering the dough with plastic wrap. It works well, but just remember, when you're removing the plastic wrap, do so when the dough is cold, otherwise it will very difficult to separate the plastic wrap.
People also use plastic or wood dough trays or individual metal pans. In most cases these are stackable, so the bottom of one becomes the lid of another. It's also possible to cover these with plastic wrap (bowls) or lids (trays).
Attached are pictures of stackable trays and individual containers.
On a similar note, I generally put dough balls in individual glass mixing bowls to save space in the fridge. I cover the bowls with plastic wrap, but this, of course, leaves a pocket of air between the dough and the wrap. I do get a skin on the dough, but worry that placing the wrap directly on the dough would either suffocate it, or inhibit its ability to rise. Would loosely draping the ball in plastic wrap in the bowl cause any issues?

Organ transplants: an area of medicine we all want to see improve but never want to experience first hand. But thankfully, it looks as though sourcing the new organs and having our bodies accept them is going to get much simpler in the not too distant future thanks to some clever doctors, pigs, and baboons.
Transplanting an organ is very difficult not just because of the surgery involved and the ongoing measures that have to be taken to stop rejection. There's also the problem of sourcing the organs from other humans, so in the case of a heart transplant waiting for someone to die who leaves a viable heart and agreed to be a donor. Those numbers are always going to be small and therefore the waiting list is often longer than the number of organs available.
Work is underway to try and 3D print new organs, but that tech is in its infancy. However, hybrid organs are already looking viable thanks to work being carried out at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI).
Research results are set to be published next month about successfully keeping a genetically modified pig heart alive inside a baboon for over 200 days. A research team at the NHLBI reared pigs that were genetically modified to be much more human like. Their hearts were then grafted on to the abdomen of baboons and monitored over an extended period of time. The genetic modifications were varied, but those pigs with the human thrombomodulin gene added survived for over 200 days (the full length of the experiment).
That may not seem like great news for human transplants just yet, but it's a major step forward. The next stage is to replace a baboon heart with a modified pig heart. If it isn't rejected and works as intended then we can start thinking about making the jump to replacing human hearts. With the necessary gene modifications and enzyme removals to stop rejections, in a few decades pig hearts may be grown to order for us.

Posted on Dec 29, 2017
Adele Luxa was the first pediatric occupational therapist (OT) of the nearly 50 OTs now at Johns Hopkins All Children's to join the hospital. That was back in December 1987. Fast forward to 2017 and she marked another first—as one of the first acute care rehab specialists in the state of Florida to achieve a new national certification and earn the credentials of Certified Neonatal Therapist, or CNT.
Luxa came to what was then All Children's Hospital from Children's Hospital of Michigan. "They had advertised for a physical therapist, but I was able to make a strong case for the importance of occupational therapy and was hired as an OT," she explains. Now there are 48 OTs across the Johns Hopkins All Children's health system. Luxa has focused on inpatient care for almost 20 years and is one of four OTs on the acute care rehab team, working exclusively with hospitalized patients.
Though she has always worked with neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) patients, in recent years these babies have been her main focus.
The emergence of neonatal therapy as a specialty reflects the progress that has been made in saving premature and critically ill babies. She'd always had a strong interest in these tiny patients, but OT was not a regular part of NICU care during the early part of Luxa's career. "Years ago many of our NICU patients were not nearly as premature or as sick," she explains.
As the NICU began to treat many medically complex and extremely premature babies, developmental care became part of the unit's comprehensive approach. "It's been a blessing to work with these patients and their families," Luxa says. She works with the smallest babies and medically fragile infants, helping parents become comfortable with kangaroo care and how to hold their baby, teaching infant massage, and showing families how to avoid overstimulating their newborn. She makes an effort to help parents see their baby's potential and progress, focusing on a baby's strengths during what can be a tense and fearful time.
"Neurodevelopmental care is our standard of care," she says, noting that Dr. Prabhu Parimi, director of the Johns Hopkins All Children's Maternal, Fetal & Neonatal Care Institute, is very committed to this approach.
Luxa develops individualized care plans for her patients—"microtherapy for micropreemies." She gets to know the baby's family, teaches helpful techniques and prepares a detailed plan of assignments, helping parents know what to focus on as they get ready to take their baby home from the hospital. She's happy when she is able to see her patients' progress; she is on-call to see patients at the NICU Follow-up Clinic and sometimes even stops by the outpatient OT department.
Neonatal therapy is a relatively new approach to providing developmental and rehab services to medically complex infants in the NICU. The first certification exam was given in winter 2017, and Luxa was one of four therapists in the state of Florida to earn the certification. She will be an invited speaker at the 2018 National Association of Neonatal Therapists.
She's glad that the critical role of the rehab therapist in improving outcomes for NICU patients has been formally recognized through this national certification. Most of all, she is glad to be able to make a big difference for her tiny patients.

Norwich Cathedral used in Jack the Giant Killer movie
Norwich Cathedral is to be used in the filming of a movie featuring Ewan McGregor and Bill Nighy.
The 12th-Century landmark will be transformed into a fairytale castle for the Hollywood remake of Jack the Giant Killer, set for release in June 2012.
Recording in the cathedral begins on Monday and will run for a week.
"It's certainly captured our imagination," said Mark Lusher from Norwich-based WS Lusher and Son, which is constructing part of the set.
The film's plot - a reworking of Jack and the Beanstalk - follows a farm boy in his quest to rescue a princess from a land of giants.
Other actors involved in the Warner Brothers production include Ian McShane, Nicholas Hoult and Stanley Tucci.
Nicholas Cage is rumoured to be taking part.
It is not yet known which actors will be filming in Norwich.
The crew has previously filmed scenes in Wells Cathedral, Somerset, and the Forest of Dean.
Norwich Cathedral will remain open for worship during the week of recording.

Another one of the highlights of my month long journey to New Zealand was the Heli ride above Milford Sound in New Zealands South Island. From Queenstown, a lively resort town situated in the mountains on Lake Wakatip,offering every adventure sport imaginable...I chose the Heli ride above Milford Sound. After my first trip was cancelled due to weather, fortunately my next option turned out to be the most pristine day.
Magnificent views of fjordland, with turquoise icefalls, glaciers, winding valleys , waterfalls and jagged mountain peaks.. The glacier landing on Mt. Tutoko glacier was by far the most exciting , you felt as if you were on a spy mission..air so clear, with open , majestic views...made my crowded, concrete life back home seem so limited.

Ian Andersen - Mysterious Blackjack Author
Who is Ian Andersen? That's a great question! We get a little insight into who he is on the pages of his two books: Turning the Tables on Las Vegas and Burning the Tables in Las Vegas. Up until the publication of his first book, no one had ever heard of him before. This is probably because he goes out of his way to hide his true identity. With that being said, we can almost guarantee that Ian Andersen isn't his real name.
So how does someone so discreet make their way into the Blackjack Hall of Fame? How do people look past his secrecy and credit him with being one of the most profitable professional blackjack players of his time. To learn more about Ian Andersen and his lasting impact on the world of blackjack, please feel free to read through his biography.
Speculation: Who is Ian Andersen?
Since very little is known about Ian Andersen and his past, there are many theories floating around as to who people think he is. There's a very talented and very famous musician from Scotland named Ian Andersen, and it's hard for people to believe that's just a coincidence. They speculate that the man behind the pseudo name either has a great appreciation for music or that he's originally from Scotland. The advanced vocabulary he uses in his books and the way in which he writes leave readers to believe that he's a very well educated person. Some even suspect that he has multiple Doctorate's degrees.
The above ideas can only be considered assumptions, as this man is so good about hiding his identity that no one knows who he is for sure. All we really know is that he used to count cards for a living, but he was winning so often that he was eventually barred from almost all of the casinos in Las Vegas. After getting barred, he had to re-create himself so that he could continue to play, hence the pen name: Ian Andersen.
Turning the Tables on Las Vegas
In 1976, a book called, Turning the Tables on Las Vegas, was officially published. Not many copies of this book were sold right away, as no one had heard of this author before. Those who did read it were quick to recommend it to their friends though, as it contained a new perspective on card counting that would help average card counters improve their skills drastically.
This book doesn't focus on the mathematical side of card counting, but instead concentrates on the emotional side of blackjack. It explains the importance of having a good rapport with the dealers, and appearing as if you are just an average player. This book emphasizes the significance of acting the part, as blending in is an essential component of card counting.
Since the creation of this book, card counters have started to focus more of their attention to fitting in at the casinos, and are essentially less likely to be barred. Although not all of the camouflage tips addressed in this book are still applicable in the casinos today, this book can be credited with containing useful information that was way ahead of its time.
Burning the Tables in Las Vegas
It was over twenty years before anyone heard from Ian Andersen again. He finally published his second book, Burning the Tables in Las Vegas: Keys to Success in Blackjack and in Life, in 1999. Ian revealed that his love of blackjack and his first exposure to advantage play can be traced back to when he first read Edward Thorp's 1962 version of Beat the Dealer.
He was inspired by other famous players including Peter Griffin and Lawrence Revere, as they showed him that it's possible to make a substantial amount of money through card counting. Stanford Wong is one of the few blackjack players that Ian Andersen really confides in, and he actually wrote the forward for this book.
In the introduction, Ian discloses a little information about himself by explaining that he has spent the past couple decades playing high stakes blackjack in Las Vegas. He even went into specifics, telling us that he plays an average of 500 hours of blackjack per year which accumulates to approximately 50,000 hands. He hinted that he has used advantage play on games other than blackjack, further showing his dedication to improving his gambling skills.
Ian did an excellent job of explaining the various parts of advantage play covering game selection, disguises, casino comps, and controlling ones emotions. Ian's book not only contains a lot of valuable information, but it's filled with thought-provoking stories that allow readers to experience blackjack in a new and interesting light. Readers get some insight into Ian's past by reading about the many experiences he has had.
One of the stories Ian includes in this book shows how calm and collected he is in difficult situations at the casinos. He goes into detail about a time when a dealer had dealt herself a 10, even though the game had already gone bust. Ian wanted to have her start the next hand off with that same 10 to make things fair, but the pit boss intervened, explaining that the card needed to be burned.
Although on the inside he felt like he had been cheated, he didn't make a big deal out of the situation. Instead, he thanked both the dealer and the pit boss for their patience and said that he understands that everyone makes mistakes. Ian could have made a scene and drawn negative attention to himself, but the fact that he didn't allows him to continue taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from the casinos without getting caught. This is just one of the hundreds of short stories that readers have to look forward to when reading his book.
Hot Shoe Interview
In 2005, a documentary named "Hot Shoe," was released to reveal how much card counting has improved over the years. Although this documentary was working on a tight budget, they managed to interview a plethora of well-known blackjack players including Tommy Hyland, Stanford Wong, Peter Griffin, and shockingly Ian Andersen. Although Ian's face isn't revealed in the film, we do get to hear him express his opinions on card counting. This is the closest we have ever been to meeting the man behind Ian Andersen.
In this interview, Ian talks about his first book, Turning the Tables on Las Vegas, and the importance of adapting the behaviors of a high roller. "The best blackjack players that I know marry two skills together; one is they have the fundamental technical skills of card counting. The second is they have the artistry, the artistry to be able to incorporate that particular tactic into an overall persona." He goes on to explain how good actors often make good card counters. He believes that knowing how to act the part is more important than knowing the mathematics behind it.
Blackjack Hall of Fame
To show their appreciation for the books Ian Andersen has written and to show their respect for the many years he has dedicated to helping card counters know how to behave in the casinos, the members of the Blackjack Hall of Fame nominated Ian to be the newest inductee in 2011. Although he lost to Zeljko Ranogajec, the following year he was nominated again and this time he won.
As suspected, Ian chose not to attend the award ceremony, as he wanted to avoid getting his picture taken or being recognized by the other professional players. He also chooses to decline his invitation to Max Rubin's Blackjack Ball each year for the same reasons. Maybe someday we will find out who the man behind the name is, but for now we will just respect Ian Andersen for all he's done and hope he continues to make a difference.

According to MailOnline, Al-Dale'i was executed by ISIS militants as he climbed into a car in war-torn Aden, a port city in the south of Yemen.
Though no group initially claimed responsibility for the attack, Islamic State later released the first person footage, revealing how the callous attack was executed.
The film showed the gunman approach Dale'i with his weapon raised as the colonel steps into his car. He then pulls the trigger and the airport security boss was seen lying helplessly on the ground. There have been several assassination attempts on leading political figures and soldiers in the state.
ISIS militants have taken advantage of 19 months of the state's civil war to expand their presence in Aden, city, which has now become Yemen's temporary capital.

An interactive mural created during a month-long residency at New Art Center in Newton with the help of students and visitors. Over 150 kids of all ages took part, drawing lines or shapes that Ben would respond to. The result was an insanely detailed and entertaining map of Newton according to their collective imaginations. Winter, 2016
Section of mural showcasing the variety of lines and squiggles added by the participants. Some kids (and adults) would try and make their additions as seamless as possible, while others attempted to throw a wrench into the works with wild shapes and swirls! The end result was surprisingly harmonious.
On the last day of the exhibition, students and parents were invited to color in the mural.

Wheat Installations are ready for SOFA! The months of ongoing pulling cane and flame working for SOFA Chicago are almost finished. PISMO Gallery will be representing JP's work this fall at the prestigious art exposition from November 1st-4th. Over four days, 100 galleries will present artists from around the world.
The presentation of JP's Wheat Installations is 16 years in the making. He originally came up with the concept of glass wheat for his senior project at Alfred University in the mid 90s. Since then his knowledge of glass has grown to allow him to create a serene interpretation of a cross section of a wheat field. The varying dimensions of his installations give the imagination room to dream of glistening acres of wheat.

Because I'm so obsessed with hair care & styling I went to 2 beauty supply stores and picked up a few more things.
I got a bunch of magnetic rollers in different sizes from small to large. As well as clips to hold them in place.
Grabed a shower cape and satin scarf, just because. Two large jars of hair gel to use for smoothing ponytails & wash & goes. Two more combs. The purple one I use when flatironing. It makes sure the hair comes out very smooth.
I then found a great set of tools used when coloring the hair, so I had to grab that. And some ApHogee reconstructor and 2 step protein treatment.
Finally I picked up some hair for my next few styles. Some Kanekalon Marley braid hair for kinky twists, as well as a drawstring ponytail by Outre.
All items are pictured below.

Gethsemane by Bulgrarian Artist Julia Stankova (for more of her artwork JuliaStanokva.com)
The greatest prayer ever given and answered.
Monthly Theme: Prayer Is Reverent Communication between God and Me
Monthly Scripture: "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him" James 1:5
Week 1 I Can Pray to Heavenly Father.
* Bring in a glass bottle (or jar). A long time ago people stranded on islands, would take glass bottles and write messages on paper. They would then seal the letter in a bottle and throw it out to sea in hopes that what they had to say would be found.
Do you think this is a very good form of communication? Why or why not? What are some ways we communicate in today's day and age?? Are they good forms of communication, why or why not? What is the only perfect form of communication?? PRAYER!!! No matter where, when, or why... Heavenly Father ALWAYS hears His children's prayers and will answer.
Have 10-12 plastic bottles with paper that has a question about prayer on it. Have them scattered throughout the room and invite a reverent primary friend to come up and find a bottle and answer the question. If there is time remaining, invite the children to write some things they can pray for this week on a piece of paper. Bring in enough dry, plastic water bottles for them to put their paper in and take home.
We are never stranded, we are never on a deserted island alone!! Help is always available when we pray to Heavenly Father. He will hear us!! Sing A Child's Prayer (CS pg. 12) to end.
* I love The Friend. It always has such great stories! HERE is a captivating story about a little girl who learned the importance of prayer after facing PIRATES!!!!
After reading the story, with possibly a patch on your eye and a sword on your belt... invite the children to share their thoughts about the story. Have 2 ship pictures on opposite sides of the room. One picture will have small post its with even numbers 1-10, and the other picture will have post its with odd numbers 1-10. Have a long strip of tape (a plank) to one ship. Have a strip of cloth to tie 2 children's legs together (to make a pirate peg leg/3 legged race type thing). You will need corresponding questions (or scriptures or songs for the whole primary to sing) for the numbers about prayer.
(This is the ship Brooklyn and would have been similar to what the Hudson looked like)
Invite a reverent friend to walk the plank and choose a number or choose a friend to become a peg-legged pirate and choose a number on the other ship. Then have them answer the question or read a scripture.
Do we have to shiver our timbers or live in fear, ARGH!!!!??!!!? NO!!! Heavenly Father is always a prayer away and will give us the strength and comfort we need!!
* Prayer Partner Tag. This is NOT a running activity, even though it has the word tag in it!! Also, we want to have the spirit with us in primary, so everyone please be positive and cheerful when you are tapped. Group primary friends in partners. They are going to have 1 minute-ish to share a story from their OWN LIFE about a time they prayed. Go ahead and think carefully about what you want to share. Now tell your partner. Did you feel the spirit when you prayed? Did something special happen? When time is up you are going to say find a new partner by tagging/tapping their shoulder. If someone taps you, sit down. Repeat YOUR story to your new partner (or if you can think of a new one, you can share that too!). Do this about 7 times. Afterwards, have someone reverent share a story FROM ONE OF THEIR PARTNERS that they really liked with the whole primary.
If a child cannot think of a personal experience with prayer, invite them to share one they remember from the scriptures.
Week 2 The scriptures teach me how and when to pray.
* HERE is a link to lds.org that has scripture retellings in an easy to read format. There are many that talk about prayer, you can print out about 5. I would have teachers read one to their class, then switch teachers!!! Rotate the teachers between classes to share the story with the new class. Take about 2 minutes for the teacher to read, if they are done early invite the children & teacher to talk about their favorite stories from the scriptures about people who prayed.
* HERE is a link to lds.org with scripture cut out figures. Print out about 5 of the stories and attach to popsicle sticks (the Rameumpton one is great!!) Divide into groups. Have the children choose a person who can tell about the story. Have other children hold the sticks, what can those people say to add to the story?? Prepare in the groups and then share with the whole primary. If you are able to, maybe set up a puppet theater (A box with a square hole would work) and have the children with the sticks behind it.
* Have a tic-tac-toe square drawn on the board. There should be 9 spaces. In each space write a person from the scriptures that prayed. (For example: Enos, Jesus in Gethsemane, Abish, Alma the Elder, Nephi, etc.) Invite a primary friend to place an X on a story they can tell the primary about and how that scripture story taught us about prayer. Repeat with another player and an O.
Invite the children to play this game at home for a Family Home Evening!!
Weeks 3 & 4 Heavenly Father hears and answers my prayers.
* I LOOOOOOOOOVE THIS Friend story!!! And the reason I love it is because there have been a lot of times I've prayed for something and didn't get what I wanted. But I'm grateful for this, because I know Heavenly Father knows best!! Share the story and do an art project together...
HERE is an easier turtle project for Junior primary
HERE is a more challenging (but VERY doable) turtle project for Senior primary
The projects linked involve watercolors, but you can skip that and just have the children color with crayons or markers. Practice drawing before hand so you know how to instruct the children. Use the chalkboard to show them the steps of the drawing. On the bottom of their art, if they know how to write, invite them to write - Heavenly Father hears and answers my prayers!!
* HERE is a great sharing time from The Friend. It has step by step pictures on how we can receive answers to prayers then gives many case studies/examples for children to decide what step was used.
* THIS talk is quite powerful and full of good doctrine. He Knows You by Name Sister Elaine Dalton May 2005
"Did you know that Heavenly Father knows you personally—by name? The scriptures teach us that this is true. When Enos went into the woods to pray, he recorded, "There came a voice unto me, saying: Enos, thy sins are forgiven thee, and thou shalt be blessed." Moses not only prayed but also talked to God face-to-face, and God said to Moses, "I have a work for thee, Moses, my son." The Lord knew Jacob's name and changed it to Israel to more accurately reflect his mission on the earth.Similarly, He changed the names of Paul and Abraham and Sarah. In Doctrine and Covenants, section 25, Emma Smith is given a blessing for her comfort and guidance in life. The Lord begins this blessing by saying, "Hearken unto the voice of the Lord your God, while I speak unto you, Emma Smith, my daughter."
You may not have heard the Lord call you by name, but He knows each one of you and He knows your name. Elder Neal A. Maxwell said: "I testify to you that God has known you individually … for a long, long time (see D&C 93:23). He has loved you for a long, long time. He not only knows the names of all the stars (see Ps. 147:4; Isa. 40:26); He knows your names and all your heartaches and your joys!"
In larger primaries, sometimes the children can recognize each other, but don't know everyone's name!! Isn't it amazing that Heavenly Father has so many children and can remember every single one?!?!? Line up 10 children up front. Invite them to share their name and favorite animal or color. Choose a person from the primary who can remember every person up front and what they said. Have a few questions, scriptures, or songs prepared on the topic of prayer. In between each naming round, ask the prepared questions. Is there a superstar that can name everyone in Primary??? Wow!!! End with the quote, "You may not have heard the Lord call you by name, but He knows each one of you and He knows your name." And He will hear and answer your prayers!!!
* Sweet Hour of Prayer!!! Read the 2 verses of the song. Or pass out some Hymn books and sing together!!
Play build a cupcake! Draw some cupcakes at home and cut them into 3 parts- cupcake liner, frosting, cherry or chocolate on top. Here is an easy step by step chart to help.
Cupcakes and sweet, and prayer is even sweeter!!! Why?? Because the sweetness of prayer is more than sugar, it's a peace and calm. It's a way to feel happiness, comfort, and joy! Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers.

Owning a home comes with a lot of responsibility and one of those responsibilities includes maintaining your driveway. Driveways withstand a lot of wear and tear over the years. Since your driveway is one of the first things that's often seen by guests and passersby, it is important that it looks good. At the same time, for you, it is important that it lasts a long time. With that being said, here are three reasons why you should consider hiring Home Maintenance Masonry to seal your concrete driveway:
- To Protect It From Cracks – Once your concrete driveway is laid and settled, Mother Nature can take its course. The ground can begin to shift and the roots can start to take their "crack" – literally – at the concrete. This can result in very expensive repairs, but sealcoating can help prevent those cracks from occurring.
- To Protect It From Fading – Your driveway is one thing that is always exposed to various weather elements. As a result, it can break down and deteriorate quicker than other parts of the home and landscape. With sealcoating, your driveway will have an additional layer of protection against the rain, sun, snow and ice. This will allow the color of the concrete to stay vibrant for an extended period of time.
- To Protect It From Spills and Stains – We all know that spills can happen from the kids and that oil stains from the cars are extremely likely. However, these are often very hard to get out of concrete, if not next to impossible. Luckily, sealcoating makes the concrete more stain-resistant and oil stains can be as easy to clean as sweeping your kitchen floor.
If these reasons aren't enough, get in touch with us today at Home Maintenance Masonry and let us explain to you even more reasons and in more detail of why you should consider having your driveway sealed. Alternatively, if you need your driveway repaired or serviced in any way, feel free to reach out to us for an estimate. We look forward to hearing from you!

|Country Of origin:
Mickey Mann is best known for his production and engineering work for one of the rave movement's first and biggest pop throw-ups, the Shamen. Originally a psychiatric nurse (he worked in the same hospital with the Shamen's Colin Angus and Will Sin, and actually introduced the two), he formed his own group, Pressure of Speech, in 1993 along with partners DJ Stika (a DJ with London's Spiral Tribe) and Luke Losey (a lighting engineer for the KLF, the Orb, and Curve, among others). The name derives from a psychological affliction characterized by manic and extreme ranting, an apt if hyperbolic description of PoS' penchant for musical information overload. The group were signed by another of Mann's long-standing affiliations, Orbital's Internal label (Mann is Orbital's live sound engineer and co-produced their Brown Album), after being featured on Planet Dog's notable Feed Your Head compilation. PoS combine the rhythmic elements of Detroit and U.K. techno with evocative, sometimes gloomy atmospherics, and, like Orbital, have been known to pepper their otherwise dancefloor/chill room-straddling tracks with overt political and social commentary (as evidenced by album and track titles such as Art of the State and "Assume Nothing"). The group were given their first serious Stateside exposure via Hypnotic Records, who licensed several of the group's tracks, as well as remixes by the likes of Higher Intelligence Agency and Vapourspace, for compiling onto the U.S.-only EP Phase 1. ~ Sean Cooper~ Rovi

From the almost universally stunned reactions to my current wave of decluttering, especially around the family photos, which started last week, I'm feeling that perhaps stepping back just a bit to review my own process with this process of unloading stuff in general and really sticky stuff in particular.
First, because it cannot be reiterated enough, this is a process, not an event. There are significant milestones here and there (me heaving blurry and/or grim snapshots of Mom and Dad into the trash can was one); there are even significant stretches of processing here and there (although the stretches are really clusters of events, but so close together, they feel like an unbroken stretch).
But this is no more a magical occurrence of me waking up one day, walking into a class and deciding to let go of 48 years' worth of emotional baggage than a brilliant performance is the result of an actor waking up one day and walking onto the stage, or a brilliant book the result of a writer waking up one day (or series of days) and banging out a 50,000 words in the right order, or any other peak experience of an endeavor. This shit takes time, and the time can't just be hours logged mindlessly: it's me, looping around a mountain much like the one depicted on the cover of Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way, over and over again, at a slightly more elevated level each time, and eventually hitting enough laps that it becomes impossible not to realize "Hey! I've seen this view before, I know what comes next!"
Even the most cursory of searches, for "we're only renting," a phrase I came up with several years into my personal quest to rid myself of the well-intended but burdensome physical and emotional detritus of generations, conducted solely within my blog archives turned up three separate entries on the process of divesting: a poem, from this summer; a post from a month ago; and, embedded in the post, a year-and-a-half-old link to an article for actors about the necessity of purging their shite, something I'd been-there/done-that to a long, long time before. A search for the "clutter" tag pulls up additional pieces, from March of this year, about the beauty of white space, and from January of last year, about the "I want" trigger that helps you fill up that white space before you get the chance to enjoy it. And that's just what I've organized well enough to tag: who knows what crap is buried in this rat's nest of archives I've yet to go through and weed? Or what I never even got around to mentioning there? I know how many times I've checked out decluttering books from the library and started clearing out my crap (and subsequently stopped, and subsequently slid backwards into acquisitive behavior). Well, actually, I don't, but a lot. Quite a lot.
The times I've been most successful at decluttering, or pretty much any endeavor, come to think of it, is when I had a purpose fueling my intent. Sadly, I was probably most productive in the tossing department when I decided it was time to leave my marriage; it's rather amazing how much you can relieve yourself of, not to mention accomplish in two weeks, if you've got a meaningful goal behind it. People routinely declutter by force when they flee encroaching floods or fires or quakes. Not the way you want to do it, but boy, is it ever effective.
So if you're a little stuck with your decluttering efforts (and that clutter is sticky, tricky stuff), maybe try another tack. Maybe instead of saying, "UGH. I really want to get rid of this sh*t!", try thinking about what you do want that's really, really important and could conceivably not only make your life better, but even make the world better. For me, it was mobility in the long run and the clarity in the short run. I think better when there's less stuff, and I know for sure that I move around better. I remember when Merlin went through a major decluttering phase. I've no idea how it worked long-term, but we all learned after the fact that it was sparked by the impending arrival of the delightful Eleanor (those cheeks alone are reason for decluttering!)
What are you after? What's stopping you from getting it? What would you need to get started?

Yesterday's Heros with ping-pong balls
When I was a young kid we had heroes . . . real heroes . . . men and women who challenged destiny to push the knowledge of the unknown to new heights. The world held their breath as John Glenn left the earth's atmosphere in a small space capsule, and for years after there were more space pioneers who bravely faced death and the unknown.
For my father's generation the heroes were the aviation pioneers that built their own airplanes and invented the instruments and gadgets that made them fly more reliably. In the beginnings of man's attempts to leave the earth there was no government effort with dozens of scientists and specialists to advance the technology . . . there were only men with vision who built and flew the machines that would carry us all into the sky.
In 1952 Henry Tyndall 'Dick' Merrill was the personal pilot for Presidential candidate Dwight D. Eisenhower, and was Eastern Airlines most experienced pilot until his retirement in 1961. Long before that Dick Merrill, who was related to Daniel Boone, began his pioneering air adventure.
After flying in early airplanes during World War I, Merrill purchased a war surplus plane and flew in air shows and by 1930 was earning an amazing ten cents a mile as a crack air mail pilot. In 1935 Jimmy Doolittle made a record setting flight across the Atlantic, and Dick Merrill got an idea . . . he wanted to fly across the Atlantic, then quickly re-fuel and make the trip back across the Atlantic, which was thought to be impossible with the frailty of airplane parts.
Along with Jack Lambie, who is also featured in this movie, a Vultee V1A airplane was fitted and flown with the latest technology available . . . and the cabin was filled with 41,000 ping pong balls . . . if the plane went down over the ocean the ping pong balls would hopefully keep them afloat!
That flight in 1936 met with problems that prevented the crossing to be non-stop, but on May 10, 1937 they tried again, in what would become known as the Coronation flight. Hearst newspapers sponsored the flight that would bring photos of the Hindenburg disaster to England in time for the coronation of King George VI, and return to America with the first photos of the King's coronation.
After this record setting flight in May, Monogram Pictures quickly put together a movie about flying across the ocean and back again, featuring film footage from that flight along with the two pilots themselves, Dick Merrill and Jack Lambie . . . and this is that movie, released about three months after the actual flight. Pop a big bowl of white kernel popcorn with plenty of warm melted butter drizzled over it and enjoy the show.

Before you place your order with CarBargains, please read our overview. Below, we provide answers to our customers' most common questions.

Our price comparisons of local auto insurers reveal dramatic company-to-company rate differences—several hundred dollars a year for most consumers, and several thousand dollars for many. And you don't have to forsake service for a better rate.
Because homeowners insurance writers offer roughly the same coverage, price comparisons are easier than they would be if each company sold a unique product. But keep in mind that standard policy limits can vary from company to company.
