I am very familiar with the saying "expect the unexpected". Yet, not one little part of me expected to be on a plane alone to Tanzania, Africa. Come on, it was AFRICA, 38 hours of travel time from my Northern California home and a completely different culture from any place I had ever been to. I was scared. But, when the opportunity came to go on a four-day safari with Shadows of Africa, I just had to say yes to a once-in-a-lifetime experience that kind of made me want to poop my pants.
I had to conquer 5 fears before I even started the African safari journey. Every one of them worth the anxiety involved.
Fear 1 – Flying
Yep, I am one of those world travelers who is actually afraid of flying and the anticipation of 2o hours in the air wasn't doing me any favors. But, none of my planes on the way to Africa crashed, the wine on KLM was free and I safely arrived at Kilimanjaro airport.
Fear 2 – Vaccinations
I hate shots. Who doesn't? But, I had heard a rumor that you could be stopped at the airport and asked to submit proof of your yellow fever vaccination. If you weren't able to provide one, they'd administer it to you right on the spot. And that's why I got all my vaccinations prior to leaving.
Upon landing, I was immediately stopped at the Kilimanjaro airport by security requesting vaccination records. I happily pulled out my record book. You ain't taking me in no back room to poke me with a needle.
Fear 3 – Getting My Checked Luggage
With my new $100 Tanzania visa in hand, a requirement for US citizens, I went to pick up my luggage…and it was actually there. This bag went from SFO > DTW > LHR > NBO > JRO. Even the check-in attendant in San Francisco said that that flight pattern would test the skills of the luggage handlers.
Fear 4 – No One Would Be at the Airport to Pick Me Up
I had programed every contact number and email into my phone just in case this fear came to fruition. But, even though my flight was an hour delayed, the Shadows of Africa driver patiently stood at the exit holding a sign boasting my name.
Fear 5 – I'd be Traveling with Douchebags
I would be on this African safari with two other travel bloggers whom I had never met, Jonny from Don't Stop Living & Raymond from Man on the Lam. What if they were total douchebags? They weren't. Actually, just the opposite. Between Raymond's witty sense of humor, Jonny's inquisitive mind and all the travel stories between us, I was entertained the entire trip.
Together we would be taking Shadows of Africa's 4-day Tanzania Express tour. This trip would bring us to Tarangire, Serengeti National Park And Ngorongoro Crater.
Me and three complete strangers (including our trusty guide), on the road for four days. Let this journey begin…
After a three hour drive from the town of Arusha, we arrived at Tarangire National Park to start our very first game drive on safari.
Tarangire is 1,096 squares miles with an abundant mishmash of animals, including 550 species of birds.
We didn't have to wait long after entering the park to see the very first animal, an Impala. And dozens of others followed; wildebeest, wart hogs, elephants, baboons, etc. One of my favorite sights of the day was the "hugging" zebras, that were in this position as a form of protection. Sweet.
After a few hours driving the bumpy roads on the game drive, it was time for the typical safari afternoon meal, a box lunch. Most safari drivers and their guests will gather at a local "safe" spot to eat lunch, but ours wanted to enhance the experience even more by choosing remote locations. And even though we had to eat in the car for safety, today our view would be that of a riverbed, elephants and colorful birds. Much better than a tourist infested picnic bench at the parks gates.
Lunch this day was peanuts, green beans, a muffin, an apple and a beef sandwich. A nice and abundant selection. All of the afternoon meals were too much food, so we got into the habit of saving our uneaten portion for the sweet children of the Maasai, a colorfully dressed ethnic group, on the side of the road who all graciously accepted our offerings.
We continued on our game drive until 5:30, then we were taken to Osupuko Lodge, a paradise amongst the paradise we had already witnessed. I had assumed I'd be peeing in the woods every night of this African safari and to my pleasant surprise tonight I would be staying in a fully equipped, luxury room with a stunning view of Tarangire and majestic elephants as greeters. Pure heaven.
Plus the Maasai staff seemed to always be ready to help. They even walked each visitor to and from their rooms, transporting the luggage, but also as a security in the evening.
We were in lion and hyena land after all.
The delicious mutton dinner at Osupuko's outdoor restaurant was accompanied by a welcome dance show featuring the Maasai people. Just to make the evening more memorable, they brought me into the mix and taught me their traditional dance which featured neck rings, chanting and a bouncing motion. I officially still have no rhythm, but no one seemed to mind.
The hotel is run on a generator, so there was no electricity after ten, but you won't mind at all because the best time is in the peaceful night listening to the animal calls.
The next days game drive was in the famous Serengeti National Park. Over 90,000 travelers visit this park and there is no doubt why; it is stunning with its seemingly endless dusty plains that are spotted with wildlife.
Serengeti is blessed with an abundance of animals, leopards, ostrich and buffalos. And this is where we not only spotted our first hyena, but also saw the largest flying bird in the world, the Kori Bustard.
After spending a long day with cheetahs, gazelles and lions we headed to our lodging for the night, Osupuko Camp, tented camping at its finest. This is a mobile campsite where the wild animals are residents too. I typically don't enjoy camping, it just seems like too much work. But, this was different. Staff prepared all the meals, set up the campsite and cleaned your living quarters. And my tent had a flushing toilet.
This is the kind of glamorous camping I can do, glamping.
On the last day of safari, we made the steep drive down into Ngorongoro Crater, a caldera with more than 120 species of mammals. Though it is densely populated with animals, there was one we would not see, the elusive Rhino. We searched hours, but not one of the estimated 21 were to be found. Bummer.
Though, the slew of flamingos in lake Magadi and clusters of wildebeest may have made up for that. Maybe.
At the end of the four days the species of animal count was a whopping 67, some varieties that I ever even knew existed.
The safari was an incredible adventure, but what I realized is that your driver/guide is the one who can truly enhance your experience by being knowledgeable, patient and safe. Our Shadows of Africa driver, Timo, was all that and more. Though all safari guides must go to school, so they are well educated in safari and Tanzania, there was something extra special about him. We couldn't stump him with the thousands of questions thrown his way. Never. Okay, Jonny may have stumped him with the question "if a lion drinks vodka what would happen?" Apparently that answer was never given in a text book.
SAFARI TIPS The companies website had a great list of what to bring on safari, but here's a few personal suggestions:
- Bring toilet paper, 50% of the time you will need it.
- Big breasted ladies, unlike me, wear a sports bra. The roads are beyond bumpy and your girls will be bouncing uncontrollably.
- Photographers, don't forget to bring your longest zoom lens. Many good finds, especially the birds, are from afar.
- Layer your clothing, the weather can vary depending on the park and time of day.

Zhari (Pashto : ژېړۍ, Persian: ولسوالی ژری) is a new district in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. Alternative spellings include Zheley (due to transliteration from Pashto), Zharey, Zharay, Zheri, or Zheray. The district was created from territories taken from Maywand and Panjwai districts; the population is estimated at 80,700 (2010).[1]
Zhari is located on the north bank of the Arghandab River that runs east to west through Kandahar Province; the general area is sometimes referred to as the Arghandab Valley. The built-up and farmed area of Zhari is approximately 30 km east to west by 8 km north to south between the Arghandab and Highway 1. Most buildings are single story mud structures, with narrow, winding roads and walkways; the exceptions are the grape-drying huts that are larger buildings as high as 20m, and which are scattered throughout the countryside. Grapes, opium poppies and cannabis (for hashish) are the most common crops; the farmlands are irrigated by a complex system of wadis running parallel with the Arghandab. The area north of Highway 1 is more desert-like with abrupt mountain ranges of approximately 200–400m in height.
The Shurah is the basic mechanism of government in Zhari; the tribal nature of the district is inseparable from politics, making the decision-making process difficult and time-consuming.
The Zhari District Center, the seat of government for the district, is located near the Pasab Bazaar near Pasab, Zhari; the district center is also adjacent to Forward Operating Base (FOB) Pasab, a former Coalition Forces base now controlled by the Afghan National Security Forces.[2][3]
Jamal Agha is the district governor of Zhari as of 28 March 2015.[4][5] Muhammed Naez Sarhadi and Karim Jan were previous district governors.[6][7]
Mohammad Masoum Khan leads the Afghan National Police forces in the district as of 26 January 2015.[4]
Most people in Zhari are ethnic Pashtuns. There are no less than a dozen tribes, the most prevalent of which are the Alizai, Achakzai, Noorzai and Ghilzai. There are many nomadic tribes that also pass through the northern areas of Zhari between Maywand and Arghandab districts.
The political geography of Zhari changes over time. Many of the smaller villages bear the name of the local elder. A collection of these smaller villages can be loosely described as a sub-district. Zhari currently has the following sub-districts:
- Nar Kariz
- Nalgham
- Sangsar
- Kolk
- Gariban
- Siah Choy
- Sablaghay
- Pashmul
- Asequeh
- Sanzari
NATO and ISAF continue their efforts to support the Karzai government and quell an insurgency; the Taliban is deeply rooted in Zhari's history and attempt to exert influence through a system of mullahs and elders (see Resurgence of Taliban). The situation is complicated by the warlords and criminals who also attempt to minimize the government's power in the area to further their own ends.[8]
A 2 am raid on 18 October 2006 by NATO helicopters, hunting Taliban fighters, was only half a mile from the scene of September's 2006 Operation Medusa, one of the most ferocious battles between Western forces and insurgents since the ouster of the Taliban regime in 2001.[9]
On 4 October 2013, 4 U.S. Special Operations soldiers were killed and 12 wounded during an operation in the Zhari District; the coalition soldiers were killed by a set of IEDs and a suicide bomber. A Taliban spokesman claims explosives were placed in a house and detonated when soldiers entered; as other soldiers entered to assist the fallen, a suicide bomber detonated his explosives.[10]

In Example 8.19, we discussed how to refer to a group of variables with sequential names, such as varname1, varname2, varname3. This is trivial in SAS and can be done in R as we showed.
It's also sometimes useful to refer to all variables which begin with a common character string. For example, in the HELP data set, there are the variables cesd, cesd1, cesd2, cesd3 and cesd4.
In SAS, this can be done with the : operator. This functions much like the * wildcard available in many operating systems.
proc means data="c:\book\help.sas7bdat" mean;
var cesd:;
Variable Mean
This functionality is not built into R. But, as with the sequentially named variable problem, you can use the string functions available within R to replicate the effect.
In this case, we use the names() function (section 1.3.4) to get a list of the variables in the data set, then search for names whose beginnings match the desired string using the substr() function (section 1.4.3). Note that the substr() == section returns a vector of logicals, rather than variable names.
ds = read.csv("http://www.math.smith.edu/r/data/help.csv")
mean(ds[, substr(names(ds), 1, 4) == "cesd"], na.rm=TRUE)
cesd1 cesd2 cesd3 cesd4 cesd
22.71545 23.58373 22.06855 20.14286 32.84768
The typing required for the previous statement is rather involved, and requires counting characters. You may want to make a function to do this instead.
The function will accept a data frame as input and return the data frame with just the desired variables. It looks much like the direct version displayed above, but uses the substitute() function to access the "varname" parameter as text, rather than as an object. I store those characters in the object vname.
matchin = function(dsname, varname) {
vname = substitute(varname)
return(dsname[substr(names(dsname),1,nchar(vname)) == vname])
Now we can just type
mean(matchin(ds, cesd), na.rm=TRUE)
with results identical to those displayed above.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Leonardo DiCaprio won a court order on Friday that barred a woman who believes she is his wife and is pregnant with his child from coming near him for three years.
The "Titanic" and "Inception" star said in a statement to Los Angeles Superior Court that he felt his safety was in jeopardy because of the "obsessive and harassing behavior" of the delusional woman.
The actor, who was not in court, wrote that he had never met Livia Bistriceanu, 41, of Chicago, but said she had sent him numerous letters and had traveled twice to Los Angeles to try to meet him.
In hand-written letters submitted to the court, Bistriceanu claims she is pregnant with DiCaprio's child — who she calls Jesus.
DiCaprio remains one of Hollywood's leading heart-throb actors despite attempts to move away from romantic dramas since his 1997 box office hit "Titanic".
Friday's restraining order requires Bistriceanu to stay at least 100 yards away from DiCaprio and extended for three years a temporary stay-away order against the woman that was issued by the Los Angeles courts in August.

Update: During the first half of May, Boulder's Chris Danko disappeared while tubing on Boulder Creek. See our previous coverage below.
More than six weeks have passed since the search for Danko was discontinued.
Last night, however, a body was recovered from the creek — and the Boulder County coroner's office is checking to see if it might be Danko.
At about 6:50 p.m. on Tuesday, June 30, according to the Boulder County Sheriff's Office, a resident who Fox31 says was walking his dog called emergency dispatch about what he thought was a body in the water near Valmont Road and 61st Street.
The caller wasn't sure if the body was a human or an animal.
However, multiple agencies responded to the scene, including the Boulder Emergency Squad, Longmont Emergency Unit, Boulder Rural Fire Protection District, Boulder Fire Department, Boulder Mountain Parks and Open Space, Boulder Police and an American Medical Response Ambulance.
Around 8:30 p.m., the BCSO sent out an update with a straight-forward first sentence:
"The body in the creek has been confirmed to be that of a human."
The release added: "They are in recovery mode at this time. The person they have found is deceased."
By shortly after 9 p.m., the body had been recovered.
The BCSO noted that the coroner would seek to identify next of kin and determine the cause of death.
Here's a Fox31 report from the scene, followed by our earlier post about Danko.
Original post, 5:51 a.m. May 13: The devastating flooding that took place in Boulder County in 2013 wasn't expected to repeat itself anytime soon — and thus far, it hasn't.
However, our recent wet spell has caused several Colorado rivers to flood on a smaller scale, and waters are running high enough to be more dangerous than usual.
Case in point: Boulder's Chris Danko was swept away while tubing in Boulder Creek Monday evening, and after a vigorous attempt by rescue personnel to find him failed, the search has been called off.
Photos, video and details below.
Danko's Facebook page notes that he's originally from Bridgeport, Connecticut. His LinkedIn describes him as a network/system administrator currently working for Robert Half Technology in Denver.
Here's a photo from the LinkedIn page....
...as well as a more casual shot....
...and another....
...shared by the Boulder Police Department.
The BPD notes that a friend of Danko's last saw him tubing in the creek behind Boulder Community Hospital, near the intersection of 47th and Arapahoe Road, just before 8:30 p.m. on Monday, May 11. He'd been following along, riding his skateboard on the creek path, when Danko disappeared.
According to 7News, the friend said Danko had been drinking and smoking marijuana before wading into the water over his objections. "Dude," the friend is quoted as yelling, "don't get in!"
The search for Danko started that evening, with teams from the Boulder Police Department and Boulder Fire-Rescue looking until around 1 a.m. Tuesday.
Efforts started up again at 8:30 a.m., with authorities taking part eventually including personnel from the Boulder County Sheriff's Office, Longmont Emergency Unit, Boulder Rural Fire Department and rangers from Open Space and Mountain Parks.
These attempts turned up no sign of Danko, and they were discontinued at around 4 p.m. yesterday.
Danko is described as a 35-year-old, six-foot, 195 pound white male with brown hair and blue eyes. If you have any information about his whereabouts, you're encouraged to contact Boulder police dispatch at 303-441-3333.
In the meantime, our thoughts are with Danko's family, friends and loved ones.

Americans love SUVs and trucks. The American car industry is currently experiencing record sales growth and revenue – partially because we can't stop buying SUVs, compact SUVs, crossovers, and trucks.
These vehicles make up 67% of the automotive market in the United States, and even rising oil prices are not stopping sales from growing. Some common reasons they are popular is a higher perspective on the road, more cargo space, and higher safety ratings for some SUVs and crossovers.
However, some St. Louis car accident attorneys have noticed a troubling trend, and nationwide studies have indicated a scary statistic. A study done by the IIHS has shown that fatal pedestrian accidents have grown by 46% in the United States from 2009-2016, the highest jump on record.
Why Are Pedestrian Death Rates Increasing?
Many attorneys have noticed an increase in the number of serious injuries and fatalities caused by cars hitting pedestrians in recent years. Here are a few reasons this may be the case, based on the IIHS safety report.
Increase in popularity of SUVs, trucks, and crossovers – The design of these larger vehicles inherently makes them less safe for pedestrians. They are higher off of the ground, so they are more likely to strike pedestrians in the chest or head, rather than the legs. This means the risk of a serious or deadly injury is higher.
SUVs, trucks, and crossovers are usually slower to brake than passenger cars, and pedestrians are more likely to be "sucked under" the front of the vehicle, because the gap between the bumper and road is much larger.
Distracted driving (and walking) – It's likely that the higher popularity of SUVs and other larger vehicles is not the only issue. Distracted driving is very common, and pedestrians are also more likely to be using smartphones while walking. This may be a significant factor in rising pedestrian death rates.
Increase in walking as a method of commuting, with no changes to city infrastructure – More than 4.3 million Americans now walked to work in 2015, compared to only 3.3 million in 2005, according to the IIHS study. If cities are not taking steps to become more pedestrian-friendly, this means more Americans may be in danger while walking.
Stay Safe While Walking Or Driving In St. Louis
To avoid major accidents, St. Louis car accident attorneys recommend a few safety steps. Do not drive while distracted – and drive slowly in areas with high pedestrian traffic. Always double-check for pedestrians when turning or crossing an intersection.
For pedestrians, avoid smartphone use while walking, and always be alert for cars that may pose a threat, especially when crossing streets, even on designated crosswalks.

Our Yard in Early Spring---Part II
Hope you enjoyed seeing our yard in MARCH... As I write this (Wednesday night), we have had a rough day weatherwise. We had storms with hail during the afternoon, and then, during the evening, we were under a tornado warning for awhile. A tornado did touch down not far from here --but we were lucky this time.
We did have a thunderstorm and LOTS of rain. SO--I'm glad we took our pictures to share BEFORE the storms hit.... Such is life!!!!! It is unnerving though when the huge siren in our community goes off --which means there is a tornado in the area. Yipes!!!!
Hope you have a good Thursday.

The flowers are the main feature of the spring and you prove it perfectly
- March 24, 2011 at 4:35 AM
Your flowers are so nice. And the man in the hat looks like he can get up without much trouble. You are about two weeks ahead of us on heat or something as our daffodils are just opening now.
- March 24, 2011 at 4:56 AM
The flowers are all so nice. The new rose flower bed is going to be grand. Can't wait for the roses to begin blooming! We have had strong wind here but no rain thus far.

Just love all of your pretty flowers Betsy, and how lovely to be able to look out of your kitchen window, and enjoy looking at them all.
It's amazing how different the rose bed will look in a couple of months.
We had a tornado touch down in our county again last night, this makes two in as many weeks. I always feel lucky we have no damage, but then my hearts aches for those who did, though no-one was hurt, thank goodness.
We're back in the cooler temps for a few days !

I enjoyed the walk through your yard.I think I need to get some Semps this year.I like how they look like large green roses.That new rose bed should be beautiful once the roses are in bloom.

You really have a wonderful yard man. Too bad you won't share. Keep him to your self why don't you :))
This year I plan to put in a lot of ground cover and Vinca Minor(as we call it)was my choice also. Much less area to mow and it is so pretty. I love plants that tend to them selves.
We are having a bit of a cool down and I suppose it will hit you soon as my weather usually does.

I'm sure it takes a lot of work to keep things up.
So glad you didn't get a tornado at your place!

I like the whole layout of your rose bed with those landscape rocks. Your hens and chick certainly look good. I have a couple places of those too. I call them my flock. Anytime a friend needs some, I have plenty to share.

Beautiful flowers! I so enjoyed seeing the world wake up to color as we drove down to Florida. Now scoot all that nasty weather away for our drive home this weekend. NOT looking forward to that. It looks like after spending a week in the lovely, sunny, 80 degree weather, we are coming home to 40, not 40's, but 40! DANG!

I went back and read your other post and saw the flowers. I also loved your comment about looking out the window and doing the dishes. There is a gentle art to growing roses and to have a man around who grows roses and brings you flowers is a wonderful blessing in your life. Prince likes to cut flowers and bring them inside but he does not grow them. Thanks for sharing your beautiful yard with us. Peace

I bet the scent from all those daffodils is just beautiful. Your periwinkle is lovely, I will show you ours when it can eventually bloom. We are buried so deep in snow yet, that will be a while.
-28 again last night and it's not expected to warm in the near future in fact, we think the snow is waiting around till next winter!!

You have a siren?? That is so cool, I wish we did. So good for when you are in bed and don't have the T.V. or radio on. We had almost the same weather, the thunder literally really shook the house, I have never felt it as hard, like an earthquake. And a tornado tounched down nearby. Scary stuff. I love your pictures, all of them!! Love the one of George working, but I think he could use some knee pads! We went to the bird store yesterday and got the feeder!! And I am proud of myself for buying ONLY the feeder and nothing else. You wouldn't believe the stuff they have! And they have two T,V.'s running with videos of the birds eating out of the feeders they sell and the squirrels trying to get in them. The man knew a lot, it was real educational, you would have LOVED it!!

Glad you are safe and had no damage. I love those neat beds you have Betsy. I love tulips but they don't do well here. YOurs are so pretty. Awesome rose beds too and George looks like he is working hard. Hope you are having a good day today after the rough weather.

Oh, Betsy, I can't wait till flowers around here are blooming more...and to be able to see redbuds and dogwoods. Love them in the spring, too.

- Cheryl @ The Farmer's Daughter said...
Great spring flower photos. Love the scent of hyacinths and all the spring flowers. George has tough knees, I can't do that for long anymore. Maybe that's why George has gorgeous roses and I don't?
I'm glad you weren't in the tornado's path. They scare me silly and I saw where El Nina will bring the threat of severe weather outbreaks through early summer for our area. Yuck!

Betsy, your and George's yard is absolutely beautiful. I know it takes lots of work to keep it looking so nice - but what joy! I only doubted one of your statements - that one about seeing the flowers through the kitchen window making washing the dishes more fun. Naw! No way. Doing dishes is a chore. I just don't like it in any way, shape, form or fashion! Ha. ☻

Your flower beds are all so beautiful. I wish mine looked like that. Hyacinths are one of my favorites, I just love the scent. We always called those hens and chicks. My aunt used to have a ton of them and I was always fascinated by them.

You are really starting to get some colorful blooms in your yard, I hope the storms didn't damage them too much. We are just starting to get a few blooms but we also have the March wind and rain to go with them.

Wow, Betsy. You and George have turned your yard into a beautiful garden. It must give you a great deal of pleasure. It's a lot of work, but it no doubt gives a lot of enjoyment, to others as well as to yourselves.

I love your round flowerbeds from the last post! They are beautiful! And I'm glad your pansies survived the winter. Ours here don't. Too cold.
You have a lovely garden, full of happyiness and love (not to mention flowers.) LOL!
Thanks for sharing - we still have snow, but I do see some shoots coming up on the South side of the house.

Hi Betsy,
I have had a dear friend offer me to stay at her house for awhile. She lives about 15 miles from the hospital, but I told her I am just much more comfortable at my own home and in my own bed. I have enough trouble sleeping here and I don't think I'd get any sleep in a strange place. I relax once I get home and I have my stuff here and I just feel better being here at my own home. Ben always worries about the house whenever we are away, so I would not want to add that worry for him. I know he's already worried about not being able to work.

I can see why now you have such a lovely yard. That is a lot more work than I could handle. That is what it takes, hard work and nature cooperating to have pretty flowers. I am glad the storm missed you.

Hi Betsy, the garden and the flowers are all beautiful. We also have many colors of periwinkle here, but i haven't seen the blue yet, so lovely. Yes the Semps are beautiful too. George seems to be having some tired muscles there and needs some massage from you, haha! BTW, i dedicate my waterfalls shots for you, come take a peep!

I wish I could be there. It's so odd to not have a yard to do things with now. I love the Spring flowers. I love the hyacinths best and the pale yellow tulips. Hope your weather holds and doesn't beat the flowers down. How odd it would be to hear a tornado siren go off. What do you do then?

Your flowers are beautiful. I'm going to have to show Bob the way George has the flower beds set up. I like the paving stones. Maybe we could incorporate something like that in the couple beds we have.

Govt procures medical helicopter to....
(elbcradio.com/April 27, 2015)-A helicopter has been brought in to facilitate the conveying of suspected Ebola patients to various Ebola Treatment Units (ETUs) in the country.
Deputy Head of the Incident Management System, Francis Kateh, had told elbcradio.com Monday, April 27, 2015 in Paynesville.
He said the helicopter has the capacity to transfer suspected Ebola patient to any of the ETUs within four hours.
Dr. Kateh said: "Funds to procure the helicopter was provided by the United States Aid for International Development (USAID)-DART, under the initiative: "The Rapid Isolation Treatment of Ebola."
He also said the helicopter will be in Liberia up to August, 2015 and its services could be extended for additional months, based on the status of the Ebola pandemic in the country.
"Liberia has gone 30 days without a single confirmed Ebola case and is left with 12 days to be declared free of the epidemic by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Do you have children? This applies to you either way, so keep reading!
We love traveling here at Alaska Baby Rentals and are always trying to find ways to help our Alaskan families have more fun and save money when they travel. One of our very favorite programs is Club 49 from Alaska Airlines. Have you heard of it?
Here are 3 reasons you should join:
1) 2 free bags. Why pay baggage fees if you don't have to? The 2 free bags apply to each Club 49 ticketed passenger and this is an average savings of $50 per person!
2) 2 annual one way certificates at 30% off flex fare prices
3) Weekly sales to destinations both within Alaska and to the outside for Club 49 members only
We also highly recommend that you register your child for the airline mileage plans by the time they turn age 2, if not before. Our children have quickly earned enough miles on their own mileage accounts to be redeemed for a ticket and that means more family trips!
As an additional tip on flying Alaska Airlines, they have two rows designated on most flights as "family rows" that they can block to keep your family seated together, so when you are checking in, ask about this and they are usually extremely accommodating.
Any questions on family travel or gear, let us know and we will be happy to help! Looking forward to hearing about all of your family travel adventures!
Author Sarah Phillips Knechtel is a mom of two little ones, family travel enthusiast, entrepreneur and the founder and co-owner of Alaska Baby Rentals at www.alaskababyrentals.com

Arguments Against AMORIS LÆTITIA
There are two arguments against paragraph 305 in AMORIS LÆTITIA when read in conjunction with the footnote 351.
The problem text in paragraph 305 is (the claim that) "it is possible that in an objective situation of sin – which may not be subjectively culpable, or fully such a person can be living in God's grace, can love and can also grow in the life of grace and charity, while receiving the Church's help to this end.351" Footnote 351 says, "[i]n certain cases, this can include the help of the sacraments…Eucharist."
Those arguments are (a) from Church law https://cruxnow.com/commentary/2017/01/08/conscience-cant-final-arbiter-gets-communion/ and (b) to safeguard the integrity of the Eucharist, those in an irregular state are unable to be admitted because their state and condition of life objectively contradict that union of love between Christ and his Church which is signified and effected by the Eucharist http://www.johnthebaptistmoora.com/346443107/4381804/posting/sufferings-of-those-faithful-in-irregular-marriage
There are arguments against the premise of paragraph 305 (that in an objective situation of sin, such a person can be living in God's grace). The last blog presented a Natural Law argument – conscience can never be authorized to legitimate exceptions to absolute moral norms that prohibit intrinsically evil acts by virtue of their object http://www.johnthebaptistmoora.com/346443107/4403798/posting/in-short-is-francis-authorizing-departures-from-the-natural-law
Now, let's look at the metaphysical argument against the premise contained in paragraph 305 that would also negate footnote 351 (recourse to the Eucharist). This argument underpins the natural law argument.
O Amoris, Amoris, wherefore I #dubia thee #AmorisLaetitia? Show me your metaphysical arguments and I will be satisfied!
The metaphysical argument is surprisingly super simple! It goes: The law of the excluded middle states there is no middle ground between being and non-being (Alvira, Clavell, & Melendo, 1991).
It is surprisingly super significant! Either a person is in a state-of-grace, or not – no middle ground. Of course, perfect contrition can change one's state of grace (i.e., from a state of mortal sin to the state of grace). But the fact is "there are concrete acts that are always wrong to choose, because their choice entails a disorder of the will, i.e., a moral evil. One may not do evil so that good may result from it." (Catechism, 1761). This means that some acts are not only against natural law, but if committed there are no mitigating circumstances. If commited, these acts place a person unequivocally in a state of sin. For example, a person cannot be simul iustus et peccator (people are at the same time both justified and a sinner) as Luther suggests.
Curiously, we also find a justifying statement in paragraph 301 forming the basis for arguments found in paragraph 305. Conclusions drawn from the law of the excluded middle contradict paragraph 301. If you realise this, then you can understand the extent of the problem posed by AMORIS LÆTITIA and that it is a threat to the Gospels. I think paragraph 301 is not correct and is riddled with ideas from dissenters/revisionists such as Curren, Curren,McCormick, Fuchs et al. It reads:
"For an adequate understanding of the possibility and need of special discernment in certain "irregular" situations, one thing must always be taken into account, lest anyone think that the demands of the Gospel are in any way being compromised. The Church possesses a solid body of reflection concerning mitigating factors and situations. Hence it is can no longer simply be said that all those in any "irregular" situation are living in a state of mortal sin and are deprived of sanctifying grace" (paragraph 301).
Unfortunately There Exist True and False Disciples
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!" Matthew 7:21,28
Can the five dubia—(a) can people in irregular marriage who are sexually active receive absolution and Eucharist without a change of life (b) do absolute moral norms exist (c) does objective grave sin exist (d) can factors and situations mitigate intrinsically evil acts, making them subjectively good acts and (e) can an appeal to conscience overcome absolute moral norms—be reduced to two?
The catechism teaches that the "object of the choice can by itself vitiate an act in its entirety. There are some concrete acts - such as fornication - that it is always wrong to choose, because choosing them entails a disorder of the will, that is, a moral evil" (1755). So, the first dubia is (a) can the will be gravely disordered whilst, at the same time, the person can remain in a state of grace and (b) is there middle ground between being and non-being? These represent the natural law argument and the metaphysical argument.

Sometimes i wonder why people act different from the way they looks.. i mean the character.. sometimes you can't read them.. they look nice and wonderful but if you get to know them ..its imaginable.
I love to have so many new friends.. everybody does.. but when you meet somebody who have super ego..what would you do? this person can kill my self esteem..i rather ignore than dealing with this person's characteristic. I feel like swallowing fat burning pills receiving comments from this person… dangerous..sorry i just have to let you go. I love myself and i know i don't deserve to be treated or talk like that.. nobody can change me!
You may be genius..but you are not the greatest! but i forgive you..and if i am the one who made a mistake..i just hope you forgive me…You ae still my friend..but you will not be in my first or second rank of friends.. you are just somewhere.
Give yourself a priority..not others!

500g cubed butternut pumpkin
1 tin white beans, drained (I used cannellini)
1 large onion, sliced
3 medium ripe tomatoes, chopped
10 or so mushrooms, sliced
1/2 small red capsicum, sliced
2 large cloves garlic, roughly chopped or diced
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried rosemary
1/2 tsp hot paprika
2 cups veggie stock
salt and black pepper, to taste
Heat some olive oil in a pot and add the onions and garlic. Cook for a few minutes on a medium heat until the onion is softening then add the tomatoes and cook for a few more minutes. Add the stock, basil, rosemary and paprika, then put on the lid and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Then add the pumpkin, put the lid back on and simmer on a low heat for about another 10 minutes, or until the pumpkin is nearly cooked. Then add the white beans and pepper and finish cooking.
Meanwhile in a fry pan, heat some oil to cook the capsicum and mushroom. Put the capsicum in first and cook for a few minutes over a low to medium heat. Then add the mushrooms, and a little salt and pepper and continue cooking over a low heat. Add to the pumpkin and bean mixture just before serving.
I think fresh herbs would work really well in this too, but I didn't have any of the ones I wanted to add. I did have parsley, which I meant to add at the end, but I forgot – oooops!
We had it served over quinoa and topped with some rocket and salad, but I think it would work with rice, pasta or any grain really. Or just have it on its own, it's quite tasty.

Collagen Functions
Collagen is an important protein that can be found throughout your body. In fact, it is found in all the connective tissues in your body ranging from your skin and bones, all the way down to your organs and blood vessels. Collagen functions several different ways in your body.
One of the most noticeable functions of collagen is the support it provides for your skin. According to Dr. Eric F. Bernstein of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, collagen makes up approximately 80 percent of the dry weight of your skin. Collagen provides structure to the skin, and works hand in hand with another protein, called elastin, to allow skin the flexibility it needs to stretch and return to its original state as your body moves.
Collagen also has an important function in bone. Bone is made up of a mixture of collagen and a mineral called hydroxyapatite. The two work together to form the structure, flexibility and strength of your bones. According to research done by the Radiocarbon Laboratory, at the University of Waikato in New Zealand, approximately 30 percent of bones are made up of organic materials, of which collagen makes up to 95 percent.
Collagen also provides important functions for your muscles. Collagen fibers provide your muscles with the strength and structure needed to move and function throughout the day. Collagen fibers not only make up your skeletal muscle fibers, but they also make up your smooth muscles (such as those in the bladder and reproductive system) and your cardiac (heart) muscles.
Blood Vessels
Collagen also provides important function in your blood vessels. Collagen makes up the walls of the veins, arteries and capillaries of the body. This gives the vessels strength, structure and flexibility, all of which are needed to effectively transport blood throughout your entire body.

I believe in the Holy Ghost – He is the uncreated, perfect, animating, vivifying, enlivening Lord, Who moved upon the waters at Creation, Who is sent forth and makes and creates, Who is the spirit and 'soul' of the Holy Catholic Church; He is the Communion between the Father and the Son, proceeding from Them Both as from a single principle, worshipped and glorified together with Them in the Unity of the Trinity; He Who is true God with Them, equal in glory and majesty, eternal, infinite, almighty; He spoke in many and divers ways of old through the prophets, in the Law, in the Gospels and through the preaching and teaching of the Apostles and their rightful successors in the Church; He is the communion, the true bond of fellowship, between all the Saints, those elected and made holy by His divine indwelling grace, first imparted at Holy Baptism (the water thereof made holy by the secret admixture of His grace, as once He sanctified Jordan); He is invoked to illapse upon Holy Church's offerings, sanctifying and blessing them, transsubstantiating the elements into the Holy Gifts (for what is wonderfully accomplished by the words of the Second Person is at one and the same time accomplished by the blessing of the First and the epicletic overshadowing of the Third, since all works external to the Trinity are the common work of all Three), just as He by His overshadowing joined once for all Body and Blood to the Eternal Word, the very sacramental Gifts that are now in this time of grace given to make holy those who receive them, that they may become what they are (the second marvellous conversion, the sacred commerce of the sacrament), imparting the Fire of the Spirit to those christified by the Body and the Blood; He is Himself the Forgiveness of Sins (as one of the Whitsuntide Collects prays); He guarantees (as was shewn to the prophet Ezechiel) the resurrection of the flesh, and thus He imparts to this mortal flesh immortal vigour, that it may endure unto life eternal, world without end. Amen.

Blessed anniversary to you Joshua,
I went yesterday to Vigil EF Mass at St Phillips North Blackburn yesterday morning . This am Mass at another church which was decked out in red balloons and streamers.

Many thanks! I have certainly grieved the Holy Spirit over the years; God grant the grace to do better; since I'm still here I can but thank the Lord.
OF Mass in my parish was good; I joined the choir (as I do from time to time), and we/the soloist/she and I sang:
Processional - "Come, Holy Ghost, Creator, come"
Kyrie & Gloria (Mass of St Francis)
Resp. Ps. (can't recall whose setting)
Sequence "Veni Sancte Spiritus" (plainchant)
All. V.
Offertory - "O breathe on me, Breath of God"
Sanctus, Mem. Acc., Great Amen, Agnus Dei (Mass of St Francis)
Communion - "Come down, O Love divine"
Recessional - "Tell out my soul"
Janet our organist gave us some Handel before Mass ("Handel is supreme but Bach is divine", she told us), some extemporizing on the tune of the recessional afterward, and accompanied all but the sequence.
As I said to her and the choir, I only sing if I like the hymns, but these in particular were excellent choices for this great feast.

Bojangles is an American fast food chain that focuses on deep fried chicken and biscuits.
I created a series of Christmas postcard for their social media channels.
The postcards are a part of the campaign universe "Bojangles town". An imaginary town where everything has something to do with products from the restaurants.

I was not sure how the Graphite Lounger would get to the correct size as the memory foam insert came rolled up. Based on the looks of it, it was a success. All teens want a place to chill out and watch tv, read a book or check Instagram. These loungers from Brentwood Home proved to be quite comfy and with a Brentwood home discount code we are sharing, a good price.

Raw Chocolate Box
These are a fantastic way to satisfy chocolate cravings, and give you a nice big dose of super-healthy coconut oil - all in a single bite. Don't know about you, but I find it tough to finish dinner without a little something sweet! Perfect solution, right here. Get creative with toppings! Or better yet - as one of my Facebook followers suggested - hide yourself a nut or a berry in the centre! Yum :-)
- ½ cup coconut oil - 3 tbs rice malt syrup - ½ cup of raw organic cacao powder - toppings of your pleasing, such as shredded coconut, buckinis, crushed nuts, goji berries, cacao nibs, etc.
Using a double boiler, gently melt coconut oil and rice malt syrup together. Remove from heat and whisk in cacao powder until you have a smooth mixture. Divide into mini muffin cases and place in the fridge. When the chocolates are almost firm to the touch, press in your toppings of choice and then return to the fridge to set completely. Store in the fridge.
