Ritual & Celebration

When we play, we are lively, as in 'full of life.' In that happiness, we connect. In depression, we disconnect, and grow stagnant. Growing joy and contentment is no small job. Maybe it never was. With over-ripe angst, anger, and confusion , bliss is not a luxury. Consciously cultivating solace is a worthy job. We… Read more »

As the earth held her moment of perfect balance between night & day, a tiny band of brothers circled a fire to celebrate. We stood as witnesses, called as our ancestors had been called to celebrate 'The Queen,' to partake and believe in her mysteries. In this last breath before tidal waves of change create… Read more »
Heavenly Instructions
Let us evolve as the heavens instruct: At sunrise, burst with light upon a new day; at each monthly new moon, surrender to the darkness of renewal; at the four seasonal crossroads of Solstice and Equinox, set road-maps of intention, and re-balance. Heaven and earth propose opportunity after opportunity for new life. Jim Harrison said,… Read more »
Solstice Dream Weavers
Being an Astrologer, I am fascinated by questions of fate. I am engaged and delighted by an endlessly revolving relationship to the cosmos, especially to the Sun, giver of life. Weaving and un-raveling around those relationships reveals that God is, indeed, in the details. During the days of the Summer Solstice, as earth 'stands still,'… Read more »

Come May someone, somewhere begins walking to Pomp & Circumstance. The hymn of graduation hums along for all, it is simply more audible in certain lives.

Sweet & Sour of Holy Ground
When the 'moveable feasts' of Passover and Easter tango together, religious rituals fill the air, and tastes of childhood linger on the tongue through matzo, or peeps. The sour and sweet of holy ground offers both guilt and redemption. It can open the numinous, or close down possibility by orthodoxy. Religious roots can send us… Read more »
Equinox-Growing Light
This equinox calls us to grow our inner light as powerfully as we respond to the the outer transformation of spring. Those of us who have been in snow's lock-down, become joy-crazy with the warmth in this light. Even if we have not been held in repressive freezes, it is time to release the dark… Read more »

The Village of Ameliasburgh was named after Princess Amelia, the 15th child of King George III.

History The community of Black River was first surveyed in 1874 for settlement by refugees from the American Revolutionary War. Currently, it has a year-round population of about 250 which more than doubles during the summer. Residents are a friendly mix of farming families who have been here for many generations and new arrivals. Black River is home to many food producers (maple syrup, honey, eggs, pastured pork, goat and lamb, and a wide variety of organic vegetables), various accommodation providers (bed and breakfasts, and cottage rentals), artists, artisans, antiques and crafts shops, and Black River Cheese. Black River was a booming community that first peaked in the 1860s and 70s. It had wharves where schooners were built and where storehouses kept grain and fruit for shipment to Toronto, Kingston and Oswego, and stocked manufactured goods for local residents. Black River had a brickworks, blacksmith, sawmill, post office (the building still exists as the roadside store for Vicki's Veggies), church (built in 1870, the Black River Wesleyan Methodist Church is now called the Black River Memorial Chapel), one-room schoolhouse (built in 1874 and still standing), and cheese factory (not Black River Cheese that was established in 1901, but an […]

Carrying Place is a community that serves as the gateway to Prince Edward County. Situated just south of Trenton, it was named for its location on the portage between the Bay of Quinte and Weller's Bay on Lake Ontario. The Loyalist Parkway passes through the community. Carrying Place is home to the Department of National Defence's LPH-89 antenna farm attached to CFB Trenton and located along Loyalist Parkway south of Twelve O'clock Point. Of considerable historical importance, Carrying Place or the Portage was thought to have a better future than Toronto when water transport was the principal means of travel. Situated on the narrow neck of land separating the western terminus of the Bay of Quinte from Weller's Bay on Lake Ontario, it was a thriving community in the 1800′s. Both ends of the old portage route were well-developed to accommodate the needs of the tired traveler. Used for centuries by the Indians, Champlain rested here in 1615. A stone cairn commemorates the signing of the Gunshot Treaty of 1787. (It was by this treaty that the Mississauga Indians relinquished to the Crown all of their lands stretching from the Bay of Quinte westerly to the Etobicoke River, including the City […]

As a blogger, I realize that not everyone will read this blog let alone agree with what I say here. My promise for 2017: I am going to blog about topics that may make people (even my family & friends) uncomfortable and sometimes may not agree with. And you know what? That's okay. In my effort to practice more self-authenticity, I need to "rock the boat". For myself, I find so much value in reading blogs, articles, and books I may not wholeheartedly agree with because when my mind is stretched I gain more understanding, perspective, and acceptance (or tolerance based on how you want to view the glass).
Global citizenship is not necessarily indicative of the places you've traveled or stamps you've collected in your passport, but it's a mindset of how you view yourself and others in this big, wide open world. Since I've only lived in two countries, some may not see me as the best spokesperson for global citizenship, but can't we all be global citizens?
As a global citizen, I recognize that my actions (or lack of) have consequences for people in communities locally, nationally, or internationally. I realize that yes, the world is a complex place and yet through those complexities, we are all intertwined through connections and interdependencies. We are all human after all.
Being born in one of richest countries in the world, I am not ignorant to the opportunities this has allowed me. I've had the opportunity to go to college (twice), purchase a car, vote, travel across the country and live abroad. It has taken me the better part of 30 years (okay, 29 years & 11 months & 7 days) to learn to embrace and come to some understanding of the world around me and how my actions, big or small, shape the world. To echo the sentiment of Chris Guillebeau, author of The Art of Non-Conformity, I also see it as my social responsibility to invest in people because I was born in a country that has given me so much. This was not my choosing, but a privilege, as most privileges are —not a choice. I am not mad about it, but instead, I am grateful.
If you're like me, some of the following |5| traits of global citizenship may resonate with you, so here's what you can do about it.
|1| Your Emotional Intelligence is on Point.
High emotional intelligence and global citizenship are not mutually exclusive. Global citizens tend to have an uncanny ability to tap into and recognize their own emotions and feelings, as well as those of people around them. We all have experiences that have shaped our worldview. Experiences that have sparked passion and empathy. Some of us discovered this during our time in college, some of us even earlier, and some of us while living abroad. Emotional intelligence is a wonderful trait to navigate most social situations. Having high emotional intelligence shows your level self-awareness, self-control, interpersonal skills, empathy, and motivation. Some of the most important qualities to impact the world.
What to do about it: Lead by example. Become an advocate for things that matter.
|2| You Pay Attention to the Details.
We ask questions…then ask some more. Global citizens aren't satisfied with a 'yes' or 'no' without knowing the 'why,' and seek clarity even when the issue is complex, which is often the case. We realize that answers are never black and white, but often shades of eggshell and heather grey, or is it gray? Global citizens try to treat the problems and not just the symptoms. The work we do may not always be appreciated and the changes may not come overnight, but we relish in the mess and the seemingly impossible. We plan and aim for success against all measures and expectations.
What to do about it: Engage with people. Start a non-profit. Volunteer at a local charity. Help does not need to come with dollar signs, time is just as valuable.
|3| You are the Life of the Party.
Our energy is contagious. Our energy is inspiring. Global citizens have a light that cannot be dimmed. We listen to and respect other people's points of view which attract people to us. We harbor a belief that sharing experiences, especially the raw, nitty gritty details, can inspire positive change. We realize that although we're not unique, we adhere to what we value and exemplify those values in which we cling to dearly. And that, my friend, is what fascinates people.
What to do about it: Share your message with others by speaking to churches, schools, or other organizations within your community. Become a freelance writer. Write a blog. Tell your story.
|4| You have Compassion for People.
As global citizens, we realize that the world is so large, and we're so small, but still have the ability to show compassion despite borders (literal and metaphorical). For some, helping others is more than a philanthropic venture. Compassion is a difficult trait to learn, but when given the opportunity we embrace the discomfort to foster understanding.
What to do about it: Partake in random acts of kindness. Foster a child or family. Spend time with someone of a different background than yourself.
|5| You have an Overall Positive Outlook on Situations.
We don't see the world as it is, instead, we see the world as we are. But, we are not naïve. Global citizens look for the best within the worse and realize there is always another perspective or another pair of shoes to walk in. So what do we do? We lace up another man's pair and get moving. We're trailblazers and realize the truth is in the journey. We're never stagnant and always evolving.
What to do about it: Become a mentor or a tutor. Volunteer.

Training at Aikido of Norwalk
Aikido is learned by sincere, committed training over time. This is in direct conflict with the modern world's desire for on-demand results and instant gratification. Penetration of the art's deeper aspects requires a student to immerse him/herself into the practice. There is simply no other way.
Those that do commit - over the weeks, months and years - will be rewarded as once-foreign movements become fluid and learned skills become internalized and spontaneous. Later, one's perception of conflict and even the self, will begin to change.
Finding one's Path
In Japanese Culture they say all of the Do (Ways) are different paths up the same mountain of self realization. In choosing Aikido, one is choosing a martial path which is taught using tools of self defense - strikes and throws, weapons and forms.
As one might imagine, such a journey will have its ups and downs. There will be moments of accomplishment and others of frustration. It is in navigating these peaks and valleys over time, that the student evolves as a martial artist and human being.
10,000 First Days
Students are encouraged to cultivate a Beginners Mind. Whether they have been training for two weeks or twenty years, this means focusing for what is yet to be learned, rather than on what is already "known".
Our school puts little emphasis on belts and rank. Students train to understand the art of Aikido. External trappings like colored belts, certificates and titles come only when the student has learned what is necessary. This means each student must focus on his/her own development, not on "keeping up" with peers or attaining a certain status.
Our dojo is your dojo
Dojo literally means "place of the Way". As such, the dojo is a training hall - your training hall, should you join us. Students are expected to leave the outside world at the door and focus on their training.
Inside the dojo, you will find a community of practitioners who will welcome you to share the practice. All students work with each other, regardless of rank. It is understood that the twenty-year veteran has as much to learn by working with a beginner as the beginner has by working with the seasoned practitioner.
Ultimately, when you strip away the walls, mats, calligraphy, belts, uniforms, ranks, and terms, you are left with the purest sense of "dojo" - a group of people with a shared interest, working together to derive from that art something which they believe will make them a better person.

As a follow-up to the news a few days ago about NVIDIA VP3/VP4 Engines Exposed On Nouveau For MPEG-2/VC-1, the support has now been committed to Mesa Git master.
After VP2 video decoding support was added for H.264/MPEG2 video acceleration support in the Nouveau reverse-engineered NVIDIA driver, it was realized it wasn't too much more work implementing the VP3 and V4 video engines. These blocks that are part of NVIDIA's "PureVideo" technology have now been implemented in Nouveau Gallium3D for accelerating MPEG2 and VC-1 codecs.
There's also H.264 and MPEG4 support for the VP3/VP4 engines, but that support is disabled on pre-Fermi hardware in Nouveau due to bugs. Today's VP3/VP4 enablement is for the NVIDIA "NV50" class hardware, or more easily known as the GeForce 8 through GeForce 300 series products.
The commit that went into Mesa today for enabling the VP3/VP4 NV50 support can be found on cgit.freedesktop.org.

The best way to be sure you are on our radar screen is to keep your information current with us. If you have an eye to change, forward a resume to the Witzig recruiter that represents you. Include a description of your ideal role regarding functions, environment, location, compensation, etc. (Tell us how you like to spend your leisure time. It's surprising how often that will relate to a dream job connection.) He or she will post you on appropriate assignments as they come along.
Some general recommendations:
Track your search activity — If you are actively seeking a new position, chances are you're working with more than one search firm. Keep a record of who is to present you for which position with what company, complete with dates. It will save much confusion and embarrassment down the road. Duplication of effort wastes time and makes us all look bad.
Consider going for a job offer for the purpose of being elevated in position or salary with your current employer – NOT. Word gets out when people's time and budgets have been abused. If it's a raise you are after, simply do your homework regarding your value in the marketplace and be direct with your employer.
Pursue with sincerity only — It is important to be clear the opportunity is one you are serious about before having the company invest their time, money, and effort into the process. Educate yourself on the geographical location if you are unfamiliar. When a job change involves relocation, discuss the prospect thoroughly with affected family members before your first in-person interview to be certain they are on board should you get the offer.
Be prepared for a counter offer –Often your current employer, particularly in this very tight job market, will try to make it attractive for you to stay on once you've tendered your resignation. Statistics demonstrate that the outcomes when counters are accepted are not good. The company is concerned about lost productivity and a drop in morale when an employee leaves. By "buying" you back, they have temporarily put out a fire. Still, the marriage has suffered a setback and you are in a position to be the casualty of choice at the first opportunity for staff cuts.

On the first anniversary of the XO laptops being distributed to the 150 children aged 7 plus, we took stock of their impact. I was confronted with two problems when I arrived in Karachi earlier this month. First teachers and children complained that the battery charge runs out in 3 hours so teachers who have classes later in the day cannot use them, Secondly I was told that children are spending too much time on facebook! I was delighted with this outcome as it demonstrated how well the new technology had been embraced by the children. We had succeeded in bringing them into the 21st century if they had discovered facebook by themselves on the XO's. With a changing number of students and damaged XO's, some children are without a laptop. They are now feeling at a loss so their teachers borrow from other classes.
At first the concept of a laptop in the class room at all times was very daunting for traditional teachers who found it an alien tool. So we worked with our teachers to develop a plan on how they can use the XO to enhance the learning of his/her subject .
We decided to modify the first years curriculum so the laptops got a chance to become part of the learning experience. As the level of English at our school was very low, we decided to focus on English (so the internet and the activities on the XO become accessible to our children) and Math. We allowed 9 periods per week for English and Math each, eliminated Sindhi (a provincial language) from the curriculum and decided to teach Islamic Studies in English so this could be another class in which English language material could be searched from the web. Of these 9 lessons Children got 3 lessons each week to do only Math Sugar Activities and three lessons each week for English Sugar Activities like Letters, Typing Turtle, Across and Down, I Can Read, etc. In addition we have IT three classes a week introducing our students to programming through the use of EToys and scratch. Three lessons of music using Tam Tam and three lessons of Art using Turtle Art, Paint etc.
The introduction of the laptops made us take a closer look at what we are including in our curriculum and how we are teaching it. We did not like what we saw! So we made changes to textbooks and learning styles too. Math is taught using Khan Academy techniques, while for English we eliminated text books and focused on reading electronic story books, colorful story tales that children picked themselves. For younger children we introduced story time during which teachers read to them. For Urdu too we have found many electronic books and activities that children can do by joining local book clubs, activities that teachers and students were totally unaware of before. For Social studies we decided to focus 6 months on developing a school magazine/ news paper that would investigate local social issues.
This month we have created a library on our server for holding material useful for the children such as Khan Academy Videos, Ebooks, downloaded exercises and activities from various sites to promote learning through activities. The children can access this library via a WAN through their browser. This has also helped us overcome the unreliable internet access we have through the local telephone company.
Result: laptops are used everyday in class. Grades 6 to 8 take these home every weekend and school days. We have so far only lost 1 laptop. English and Math proficiency has gone up, children love coming to school, attendance is very good and teachers are feeling very positive about what they are doing. We feel confident enough to now take the children in our care all the way to High School (Matriculation) from next year and we have applied for registration with the Aga Khan Examination Board as we feel they offer a better standard of education, more in line with our learning through exploration and discovery approach.

Ten Second Review
The Mokka X represents Vauxhall in the compact crossover market. Let's see how it stacks up in 1.4-litre petrol turbo form equipped with 4x4 traction.
For a mainstream manufacturer, Vauxhall has been notably absent or virtually absent from quite a few profitable market niches in recent years. They've done well in the growing small crossover segment though, since launching this Mokka model in 2012. Here, we've got the upgraded Mokka X version. As before, this design scores a small victory over its arch-rival, Nissan's Juke, by more affordably offering AWD. So let's look at the 1.4T AWD derivative.
Driving Experience
The Mokka X has clearly been designed for the urban environment but that's not to say the ability to be driven off-road has been totally neglected. To this end, Vauxhall wisely offers both front and four-wheel drive chassis options to petrol people, with the all-wheel drive mechanicals we're looking at in the 1.4-litre petrol turbo model here being fully adaptive. When the vehicle's being driven on smooth, dry surfaces, all drive is sent to the front wheels for optimum efficiency but when the road surface is slippery, as much as 50 per cent of the drive is automatically diverted to the rear axle. There's not even that much of a weight penalty for choosing the four wheel drive version as the mechanicals add a mere 65kg, which isn't going to put too big a ding in emissions and economy figures. If you can stretch to it, I'd suggest that the 1.4-litre turbo petrol Mokka is possibly a better bet than the 136PS 1.6-litre CDTi diesel variant. 62mph from rest in the 4x4 version is just 9.3s away enroute to 116mph, so it's usefully rapid, and there's a healthy 200Nm of torque. It isn't an especially rewarding car to drive - the extra weight and the higher stance of the SUV genre count against it here - but then if you come to almost any car in this class expecting fun at the wheel, the truth is that you're probably going to be disappointed. Anyway, come on. Nobody buys a car of this kind and drives it like a hot hatch. The high stance that necessitates the firm damping and provokes that bodyroll is the thing that gives you that lovely raised seating position, something you'll particularly appreciate in urban driving. That's when you'll also thank Vauxhall for the lightness of the steering, which is perfectly weighted for the challenges of town terrain.
Design and Build
The Mokka's compact size - it's 4.28m long - places it in the upper part of the compact Crossover segment. In other words, in terms of exterior dimensions and cabin space, it's more Honda HR-V than Nissan Juke - but not quite Nissan Qashqai size. For this 'Mokka X' model range, British designer Mark Adams and his team tried to create a bolder look. This means a wing-shaped horizontal front grille and the dominant, sharp double-wing signature of the LED daytime running lights. At the rear is another double wing signature highlighted in the tail lamps, with LED technology an option. Vibrant new colours such as 'Amber Orange' and 'Lava Red' are also available. On the inside, the Mokka X has a smart dashboard inspired by the current Astra. In the back, the rear seats benefit from wide opening doors that simplify the fitment of a child seat, though that sharply rising waistline might restrict the view out for smaller occupants. As for luggage room, well, there's no high boot lip to negotiate and beyond it lies 356-litres of carriage space - about the same as you'd get in a MINI Countryman but 30% more than you'd get in a Nissan Juke.
Market and Model
Prices for this 1.4T AWD Mokka X start at around £27,000 -there's a premium of around £800 over the 2WD 1.4T variant. There are only two trim levels if you want the 4x4 set-up - 'Elite' or 'Elite Nav'. Standard equipment includes 18" alloy wheels, plus LED daytime running lights, front fog lights and silver roof rails on the outside. Inside the cabin, drivers will benefit from an 8-inch touch screen with Vauxhall's IntelliLink Infotainment system, as well as the innovative OnStar personal connectivity and service assistant. The two 'Elite' trim levels give you a full leather interior, heated front seats and steering wheel, plus tinted rear windows.
Cost of Ownership
As far as cost of ownership is concerned, it would be fair to call this Mokka 'class competitive'. As you'd expect these days, a start/stop system is fitted across the range (though only on manual gearbox models) to cut the engine when you don't need it, stuck in traffic or waiting at the lights. As a result, the 140PS 1.4-litre petrol turbo 4x4 Mokka we've been looking at here manages up to 36.7mpg and up to 162g/km of CO2. What else? Well, to help you get somewhere close to the quoted fuel and CO2 figures on a day-to-day basis, there's an ECO section of the trip computer that includes a gearshift indicator, shows you fuel results over the last 30 miles and offers a graphical display that's supposed to encourage eco-minded driving. What else? Well, Vauxhall being a mainstream brand, residual values aren't as strong as, for example, you'd get from a rival Honda HR-V, but the Mokka X claws the advantage back with modest cost of options and very affordable servicing you can budget for with a range of pre-paid servicing plans. There's an unremarkable, but potentially extendable, three year 60,000 mile warranty.

Wikimedia policies & guidelines
"The first policy that everybody should know about is 'Ignore All Rules', which says that if a rule stops you from improving the encyclopedia basically you should ignore it, so it's kind of like a check on all the other rules," Laugher said.
Since its inception Wikipedia has developed and continues to add to a body of policies and guidelines that express the behavioural standards which have gained community consensus. Wikimedia Policies are considered a standard that all users should follow, whereas Wikimedia guidelines are more advisory in nature.
"There are quite a few rules relating to conduct, behaviour and civility, and there is one called do not bite the newcomers, which is about saying we are not a closed club, anyone can join us and edit," Laugher explains.
"Related to that is one called be bold, which says people should edit first and talk later -- to directly improve articles instead of discussing or talking about it first," she said.
One of the most important policies for content is neutral point of view, and Tone; which determines the tone an article should be written in and the weight one should give to various incidents or aspects of an article.
Other significant policies relating to conduct include sock puppetry which says that people should not create extra accounts to represent their views more than once by pretending to be different people, and no edit warring, personal attacks, legal threats or wheel warring.
Similar to the burden of proof in a court of law, in the world of Wikipedia verifiability carries more weight than truth.
"The criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability and not truth, because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia it is only a secondary source - it is reporting on what other primary sources have said. The idea is that you can read an article and follow the sources to go back and check or verify it somewhere else. If you can't do that then it is not verifiable and is not encyclopedic content," Laugher explained.
A related policy to verifiability is no original research, which prevents the inclusion of unpublished research, such as a university paper, as no one can verify its accuracy.

Took our family for a birthday celebration on the Holiday Monday in February and had the best time! Thankfully we had a reservation because it filled up rather quickly. Bobbi was our server and she was excellent as were the other servers who attended to us. We didn't wait long for anything. Food and drink was all amazing! Would highly recommend.
The martini house never disappoints! My husband and I go here regularly and are always thrilled with both the cocktails and the food. The escargot is to die for and the restaurant has an amazing atmosphere; from the bustling bar to the quieter upstairs of this old mansion. A must try in Burlington! Tapas Tuesday is my favourite night!
Our group of 12 was truly impressed with dinner last night at The Martini House. Clearly, the success was the result of a total team effort to help plan and execute our visit. We had tight timelines with a show to attend. Although the restaurant was packed, all our items showed care with preparation and presentation. Bottom line, everyone loved the food! Special thanks to owner Barry and to server Karla!!

How to Ensure the Safety of the Workplace
How to Ensure the Safety of the Workplace
Employers can be taken to court if their negligence has resulted into an accident and injury. This not just damages their reputation, as it can also lead to financial compensation to the troubled party, mainly in the form of coverage for treatment costs, lost wages, and the pain and suffering of getting injured at work.
Use proper gears
Dangerous work environments like construction sites require protective gears, such as helmets, gloves, and boots. These may not entirely prevent accidents, but they can help minimize damage when an accident does occur.
Enforce safety programs
Safety procedures should also be strictly implemented to prevent unnecessary actions or inactions that may result into accident and injury. Such programs may include the strict requirement of using protective gears, installation of warning signs on areas or equipment that can pose a threat, and the utilization of timely breaks to avoid overexertion.
Organize the work area
According to the website of Scudder Seguin, a cluttered workplace can be very dangerous, and this is true for both hazardous and non-hazardous work environments. Unattended holes in construction sites may cause falls. Opened cabinets and loose cables in offices may trip employees. By ensuring the organization of the work area, employers are greatly reducing the risks of accidents.
Maintain the work area and its equipment
The lack of maintenance may result into defects and malfunctions. For dangerous work environments, the things most prone to these issues are tools, equipment, machines, and vehicles. For safer work environments, the things include elevators, escalators, desktops, coffeemakers, air conditioners, and even floors.
Beware of hazards
No matter how diligent employers are in enforcing safety programs, organizing the workplace, and maintaining the workplace's equipment, there may be inherent hazards in the work area. One of the most overlooked issues is fire. Be wary of fire hazards in the workplace, such as malfunctioning equipment, faulty electrical systems, and combustible materials near sources of fire.

Becoming the Western Otaku
Being an otaku is not an easy chore. In comparison to anime fans over in Asia, I could very well be considered extremely passive. I think about a year ago I came to grips with being one, or at least being on my way to one. What I needed to understand was if I was going down an embarrassing road that I needed to steer clear from, or that I was only going down the regimented path that all anime fans eventually succumb to. What would my friends think? Is this natural? More importantly, what would females think?
Do not be afraid. Being an otaku is not that bad of a monster. Lonecow, and Critic are some of my closest friends in real life, and at least as a form of solace, they would not only understand my situation, but probably encourage it. What I had to watch out for were the friends that didn't get it. They are the friends that call everything in animation "cartoons", and couldn't tell the difference between Sailor Moon and Haruhi. They feel slightly embarrassed to like a Pixar movie. They think to themselves, "he is just going through a fad." The best thing I could do with each of them was to shove it in their faces as much as possible. That's obviously not going to work for everybody, but for me, it worked perfectly. (I probably just felt more vindicated) Sometimes my roommate (very close anime-hating friend) would wake up to my Haruhi figma "snapping" a picture of him. Other times, if he is in his bathroom, I'd have a Queen's Blade battle going on in there. It may be a little extreme, but when someone insults a hobby of yours, there is no choice but to get figma violent. I could have water-board him though…
However, with all of them things turned from insulting, to annoyance, to indifferent. I'll never sway any of my non-anime liking friends over to my side, but as long as they are indifferent to what I'm doing, I win. (I'll just convince their gullible wives that anime is a terrific creative medium for kids, and therefore make their children grow up to love and desire anime)
If all else fails, just be the adult in the situation and make fun of their hobbies. That always works too.
Probably the scariest hurdle I personally had to deal with was the female reaction. How is she going to react to the Asuka adult toy you bought on your trip to Tokyo? Is she going to get upset that after you are intimate, you are cuddling the body pillow instead of her? These are tough questions that need to be addressed. In all seriousness, there is a level we will never achieve. All of us who contribute on Zeonic Front have been to Japan, and if we had daily access to the heavenly Akibahara, maybe I'd be singing a different tune. The reality is we don't, so whatever obsession you think you may harbor, we are far off from that sort of crazy. We are western otakus. We play sports! We go on riverboat gambling trips! I've experienced some comical moments through my otaku growth while dealing with women. I've had females develop a perception of me, and once they went into my room, it changed instantly. It's best to not be embarrassed. If they see that you are a little humiliated, it'll make you feel even worse later.
What worked for me was just plain honesty. Plus, I couldn't possibly hide that many figures that fast. In the beginning I started to think that once I posed figures around my home, if I brought a girl back to my place, I'd want to hide them as quickly as possible. As Critic pointed out on in an earlier blog entry, "How to be sexier for my Boyfriend" (and yes, Critic is straight), a girl doesn't need to really be into your hobbies that much anyways. If they are into you, they'll understand that anime is an extension of you, instead of it JUST being you. Little do they really know it's the latter. Plus if you look like a fatter Kevin Smith, D.J Qualls, or Francis from Pee Wee's Big Top Adventure dressed as Cloud Strife, just give up and accept what you are.
Becoming an otaku is the same as becoming a movie buff, a wine connoisseur, bird watcher or a serial killer. Everyone obsesses over something, and for me and many other people in North America, it happens to be Japanese animation. We need to enjoy ourselves.
Peace and Love

Dr. Lipton began his scientific career as a cell biologist. He received his Ph.D. Degree from the University of Virginia at Charlottesville before joining the Department of Anatomy at the University of Wisconsins School of Medicine in 1973. Dr. Liptons research on muscular dystrophy, studies employing cloned human stem cells, focused upon the molecular mechanisms controlling cell behavior. An experimental tissue transplantation technique developed by Dr. Lipton and colleague Dr. Ed Schultz and published in the journal Science was subsequently employed as a novel form of human genetic engineering.
In 1982, Dr. Lipton began examining the principles of quantum physics and how they might be integrated into his understanding of the cells information processing systems. He produced breakthrough studies on the cell membrane, which revealed that this outer layer of the cell was an organic homologue of a computer chip, the cells equivalent of a brain. His research at Stanford Universitys School of Medicine, between 1987 and 1992, revealed that the environment, operating though the membrane, controlled the behavior and physiology of the cell, turning genes on and off. His discoveries, which ran counter to the established scientific view that life is controlled by the genes, presaged one of todays most important fields of study, the science of epigenetics. Two major scientific publications derived from these studies defined the molecular pathways connecting the mind and body. Many subsequent papers by other researchers have since validated his concepts and ideas.

The Best from the Kyrchyn Festival
Previously we wrote about the opening ceremony of the World Nomad Games at the hippodrome in Cholpon-Ata. This time it's the festival in Kyrchyn gorge, a totally different story. The World Nomad Games are not only about sports, but also, and perhaps even more about nomadic culture and lifestyle. This is exactly what is happening in Kyrchyn — the folk festival is probably the best place at the moment to feel oneself a nomad. Here's what you missed if you didn't have a chance to visit Kyrchyn.
Amazing 300-yurt-camp
Speaking of yurts — there even was a fastest yurt assembly challenge. The record is 10 minutes 16 seconds.
Competitions, some of which you've never even heard of
Talented performers and stuntmen
Kyrgyz beauties
And camels!
The World Nomad Games were launched in 2014. The nomadic version of the Olympic Games are aimed at revival and preservation of the historical cultural heritage of the nomadic people's civilization of the world. Representatives from over 40 countries are taking part in the World Nomad Games.

The Sonoran dog: It's wacky. It's outrageous. Is it tasty?
It sounds like the sort of thing frat boys would dare each other to eat - a hot dog wrapped in bacon, stuffed in a puffy roll, then smothered in pinto beans, onions, tomatoes, mustard, jalapeno sauce, cheese, maybe a few crumbled potato chips sprinkled on top.
But taste a Sonoran hot dog -- a specialty dog of the Southwest - and the peculiarity washes away, the odd swirl of colors and flavors forming a fusion of flavor that somehow works. And it becomes clear why people -- not just frat kids -- will drive across town during rush hour to get one. Or two.
"The mayonnaise, the beans, the green sauce -- if you were to describe it somebody, they'd be like, I'm not putting that in my mouth," said Mike Lowery, Web manager for the University of Arizona athletic department and Sonoran dog enthusiast.
"It's completely different from what we think of as a hot dog and you need to get somebody to accept that," he said. "Once you get past that, they see how good it is."
The Sonoran hot dog, as the name might suggest, is said to have originated from Sonora, Mexico, just over the border from Arizona. Though the exact place and time is hard to pinpoint, Sonoran dogs were served on the streets of Hermosillo, the capitol, around 40 years ago, and tourists have long grabbed late-night "danger dogs" in border towns like Tijuana.
Whatever the dawn of the dog was, it's taken a foothold in Tucson.
The desert town sandwiched between the Santa Catalina and Rincon mountains has had Sonoran-style hot dogs for decades, but the locals' affinity for these delicacies got serious around the early 1990s.
Daniel Contreras, owner of the Tuscon restaurant chain El Guero Canelo, was one of the first proprietors to serve bacon-wrapped dogs smothered in everything from the cupboard.
Now, Arizona's second-largest city boasts more than 100 vendors -- the exact number, like the origination point, is tough to determine -- selling Sonoran hot dogs, from mobile carts set up under trees and temporary shelters to full-menu restaurants like El Guero's and BK Carne Asada and Hot Dogs.
"Basically, there had never been hot dog places, but now there's a lot of them," said Arturo Contreras, Daniel's brother and El Guero's general manager. "The specific taste is something people here like."
So what makes Sonoran hot dogs so good?
It starts with the bun.
Unlike traditional hot dogs, Sonoran dogs skip the typical bun, coming instead in a soft, puffy blanket of dough known as a bolillo, a savory Mexican bread. The bolillo isn't so much sliced, but almost torn open, the ends left closed so the dog and accompanying garnishments sit atop a boat of dough that's sturdy, yet delicate once it hits the mouth.
"Whenever I take someone there, they're surprised by the bun because it's not the standard hot dog bun we're used to," Lowery said. "It's a slightly sweet bun and that's what makes it a little different than the standard American hot dog."
That and just about everything else.
Since the early days of bacon wrapping, Sonoran hot dogs have become an anything-goes endeavor, with everything from sour cream and avocado to shrimp and chorizo, even pineapple and potato chips thrown on top.
The basics are mostly the same, though, starting with the dog in the middle.
Wrapped like a meaty candy cane, the hot dog is grilled so the bacon fuses to it, making it difficult to tell where one starts and the other stops while forming a memorable mouthful that's the foundation of the Sonoran dog.
After the melding of meat, a healthy portion of pinto beans are dropped on top, followed by diced tomatoes, onions (grilled, raw, sometimes both), mustard, mayonnaise and either jalapeno sauce or salsa. Ketchup and cheese are always options, too.
When it's done, the Sonoran hot dog looks like a kindergarten finger-painting project -- and tastes like nothing you've ever had.
"It is a weird combination, they're right, but there is a bit of thrill where you taste it and makes you want to have another," Contreras said. "When you're eating the hot dogs, about halfway through you start craving another one."

After the restoration of our spire our bells are now fully operational and ringing better than ever! We have new ropes which are now fully stretched and the bell frame repainted. The new oak shingles ensure weatherproofing and the pigeons have gone. The word is now out there and more visiting bands are coming to enjoy our bells. So come along and ring and hear one of the best rings of 6 in the district.
|Bells-Quarter Peal for Don Pointer
On Sunday 23rd February 2019, immediately prior to the Sunday morning service, the St Mary's band of bell ringers rang a quarter peal to celebrate Don's 80th birthday.
|St Mary's bells ring half muffled for London 4 June 2017
This morning's service ringing at St Mary's was carried out half muffled, remembering those affected by the terrorist attack in London last night. It was also rung especially thinking of our bellringing and non-ringing friends at Southwark Cathedral who were prevented from holding their services today. We'll be back ringing open as usual from now on – but the events of last night were all-too close to home for many of the local band. http://bb.ringingworld.co.uk/view.php?id=1174714

Our tower houses a ring of six bells, generally considered to be one of the finest rings in the local area. The two oldest bells (numbers 2 and 3 of the present peal) were cast in 1583 by Robert Mot of Whitechapel, but it is uncertain exactly where they were made. It is possible that they were cast in a pit in the grounds of the church, dug specifically for that purpose.

Sooooo I haven't posted a blog in forever. Like forever-ever. It almost feels awkward writing again...kinda how it feels when you run into someone you can't quite place at the store. You have that uneasy should I duck and run or go say hello moment. Hello.
2013 was the most amazing year yet. I was going through old photo sessions and weddings and found myself overwhelmed with how many amazing people I had the beautiful pleasure getting to know this year. And I've already got incredible clients lined up for 2014! I did over-stretch myself a bit (hence the blogging absence.) However, it's a new year and I feel like what I took away from 2013 was a new understanding of my threshold. What's too much. What I can say yes to, and what I have to say...er...scream no to. That all said, I want to celebrate 2013! SO here is a TON TON TON of my favorite photos from this year! There are so many more, so just be thankful I'm only posting a tiny handful. :-)
Bring it on 2014!!

I don't know if there is a better way to use the
DbContext because it is not recommended to set is as static when working with WCF. So we are creating it each time we want to access the database.
Knowing all the advantages of using Entity Framework, some become useless since we are recreating the

The 2013 British Grand Prix was a scintillating race, giving a race result which no one could have predicted. Just when we were about to see the first round of pit stops, Lewis Hamilton's tyre surprisingly exploded, forcing the race leader to leap back the pits. After two similar cases in the next few laps, Twitter world went furiated over Pirelli and FIA's decision to make such tyres.
The last 7 laps of the race showed why Silverstone is a classic venue; Sebastian Vettel lost drive from the race bringing out the Safety Car. Some drivers pitted for fresh tyres and put on a fresh charge to end the dramatic race in style. We look back at the race in 15 tiring tweets.

After photographing the '59 Morris Minor for the Down On The Street series, I became curious about the history of the Minor family of cars; we don't see many of them here in North America, but they seem to occupy a place in Britain's heart akin to the Dodge Dart's over here. Fortunately, the Morris Minor Owner's Club has a handy family tree diagram that will sort it all out for you. Yes, it all started with a side-valve 918cc engine! [MMOC.org]

Dragon Haven (Rain Wilds Chronicles #2)
by Robin Hobb
Fifteen dragons have set off on a dangerous trek up the Rain Wild River, in hopes of rediscovering their lost haven, the ancient city of Kelsingra. Accompanying them are a disparate group of rejects from Rain Wild society, including strong and defiant young Thymara; wealthy dragon scholar and Trader's wife Alise; and her companion, the urbane Sedric. These human keepers yearn also to create a new home where they can decide their own fate. But is Kelsingra real or merely a fragment of a glorified past buried deep in the dragons' shared memories? (from the back cover)
In a word (or three): unputdownable. Earthy. Realistic. Robin Hobb is very good at writing about the nitty-gritty details of the messiness that is life in what could otherwise be portrayed as a fantastical adventure. There is no flowery language (except in flattering the dragons, of course) or romanticizing the situation or glossing over the uncomfortable bits.
I love it.
No one has ridiculous abilities (i.e. epic survival skills even though they've only been hunting a few times . . . ), and the day-to-day realities fill almost everyone's minds. Survival is first priority; completing the mission, second. They're not even sure if what they seek, the fabled Kelsingra, still exists. Maybe it never existed to begin with.
Disagreements and squabbles erupt over all sizes of matters. The humans complain and struggle--if only in their minds--as humans do. And no one, human or dragon, is immune to injury, disease, or death. Did I mention that life is messy?
Speaking of messy, Dragon Haven takes place in a rainforest (the Rain Wilds), which is awesome. Lots of BIG trees. But also very, very wet--think marshy, boggy, parasite-infested, acidic . . . ew.
I really enjoyed watching the dragons grow and mature and interact with each other and their keepers. We even get a fascinating glimpse into their minds via Sintara's unique perspective as one of several POV characters. Her keeper, Thymara, is a beautifully independent young woman, simultaneously wanting to be alone and struggling to fit in. She also has a wonderful sense of personal morals and a strong will to stick to them--something that she shares with Alise, the expedition's "dragon expert."
Sedric, who joined the group with Alise and fills the role of aloof city-slicker, also has a fascinating perspective. Though outwardly quite shallow, he has a complicated past and an even more tangled present. I loved watching his character develop.
I could go on and on about the characters, but for brevity's sake (and remaining spoiler-free), I'll end with Rapskal. The keeper of Heeby, he is simultaneously annoying and endearing. Innocent. Loyal. I wanted him to drop off the face of the earth in book one, but I grew to like him in this novel.
Dragon Haven does contain some mature content. There are a lot of romantic subplots--almost too many--and few people on this journey are very subtle or terribly shy when it comes to romantic relationships, nor do they have much self-control. Although several scenes fade out, others continue into the bedroom. Nothing steamy, but possibly more than you really want to read.
The final 20-ish pages feel rushed, and the ending a bit too neatly wrapped up. However, Robin Hobb does leave plenty of questions for future books.
