Box Turtles
The charismatic Eastern Box Turtle, Terrapene carolina carolina, has become a species of concern throughout much of it's range. Needing large tracts of intact forest to complete it's lifecycle, there are fewer and fewer places that can support healthy populations. Additionally, roadway fatalities and collection as pets continue to reduce the populations of this once widespread reptile.
The forests of Jug Bay have proved to be a refuge for the box turtle. Since 1995, we have marked individual box turtles with a notched code along the edge of their shell. We have identified over 500 induviduals within a 300-acre area of the Sanctuary. Volunteers and staff members record measurements on every box turtle found. From repeated sitings, we are mapping the home ranges of individual turtles. To learn more, read this article in the Bay Weekly.
Over the years we have greatly expanded the regional knowledge on the Eastern Box Turtle. In addition to our mark-recapture study we also conduct radio telemetry work on 5-10 individuals per year; tracking their movements weekly to better understand the answers to the following questions:
- What sorts of habitats do box turtles prefer?
- What stimulates them to move about and search for food?
- Where do they nest and where do they overwinter?
- How long do they live?
Volunteers are critical to the research conducted here. Click to get involved.

Launch of Global diffusion of eHealth: Making universal health coverage achievable
The third global survey on eHealth conducted by the WHO Global Observatory for eHealth (GOe) has a special focus – the use of eHealth in support of universal health coverage. eHealth is pivotal in supporting universal health coverage in a variety of ways relating to cost, access, quality and the range of services that can be provided. Published in December 2016, this report analyses how eHealth can be used to make universal health coverage achievable. The first global study of its kind, this publication will be useful for policy makers in eHealth and telecommunications, academics and students, and eHealth professionals.
Launch of Atlas of eHealth country profiles 2015
The third global survey on eHealth conducted by the WHO Global Observatory for eHealth (GOe) has a special focus – the use of eHealth in support of universal health coverage. eHealth plays a vital role in supporting universal health coverage in a variety of ways relating to cost, access and quality of services. This Atlas presents data collected on 125 WHO Member States. The survey was undertaken between April and August 2015 and represents the most current information on the use of eHealth in these countries.
eHealth and innovation in women's and children's health: A baseline review
Improving the health of women and children is a global health imperative, reflected in two of the most compelling Millennium Development Goals which seek specifically to reduce maternal and infant deaths by 2015. This joint report by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), based on a 64-country survey, demonstrates - as never before in such detail - the vital role that information and communication technologies (ICTs) and particularly eHealth are playing today in helping achieve those targets. It demonstrates how, every day, eHealth is saving the lives of women, their babies and infants in the some of the most vulnerable populations around the world, in a wide variety of innovative ways.
Directory of eHealth policies
The Directory of eHealth Policies is a comprehensive and up-to-date source of national eHealth policies or strategies sourced from around the globe created by the Global Observatory for eHealth. It also includes national policies relating to Telehealth to broaden its scope and usefulness. Member States are referring to this online resource when developing their eHealth policies or reviewing existing ones.
Global Observatory for eHealth
eHealth is the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) for health. It is recognised as one of the most rapidly growing areas in health today.
The Fifty-eighth World Health Assembly in May 2005, adopted Resolution WHA58.28 establishing an eHealth strategy for WHO. The resolution urged Member States to plan for appropriate eHealth services in their countries. That same year, WHO launched the Global Observatory for eHealth (GOe), an initiative dedicated to the study of eHealth—its evolution and impact on health in countries. The Observatory model combines WHO coordination regionally and at headquarters to monitor the development of eHealth worldwide, with an emphasis on individual countries. Recognizing that the field of eHealth is rapidly transforming the delivery of health services and systems around the world, WHO is playing a central role in shaping and monitoring its future, especially in low- and middle-income countries.
Mission and objectives
The Observatory's mission is to improve health by providing Member States with strategic information and guidance on effective practices and standards in eHealth.
Its objectives are to:
- provide relevant, timely, and high-quality evidence and information to support national governments and international bodies in improving policy, practice, and management of eHealth;
- increase awareness and commitment of governments and the private sector to invest in, promote, and advance eHealth;
- generate knowledge that will significantly contribute to the improvement of health through the use of ICT; and
- disseminate research findings through publications on key eHealth research topics as a reference for governments and policy-makers.

DAY #14 - I can't believe we are only a few days away!!!
Our next prize, is one that anyone who loves to laugh (sooooo I'm assuming everyone) will want to get their hands on!
The Second City opened its doors on a snowy Chicago night in December of 1959, and has since grown to become the world's premier comedy club, theatre and school of improvisation—with live shows every night in Chicago, Toronto and Hollywood.
So, what's The Second City?
The Second City has been bringing the funny for over 50 years, but here's the short version.
They began as a small comedy theater, and have grown to become today's leading brand in improv-based sketch comedy. With a variety of theaters, training centers and full-time, touring ensembles, that you can find us all over the world.
If it has to do with funny, The Second City literally does it all! Stand up, sketch comedy, improv... oh yeah and they offer training in all of these areas as well. Classes for adults, kids, professional actors or corporate 9-5 ers looking to break out of their shells.
Another special aspect that I love about The Second City is, that they are always finding ways to showcase their students. By offering several performance opportunities such as open mic nights, improv jams and student shows, participants are able to bring their training into practise in front of an audience.
Thanks to the generosity of The Second City Toronto (and with special thanks to scheduling manager Liana Vieira) we've got 2 tickets up for grabs to their current main stage show Comes What Mayhem!
All you have to do to win this pair of tickets is join us for our NOT Another TIFF Party Fundraiser and get your raffle tickets in the draw!

This section investigates the Teledyne 9400 series, which can be used as voltage to frequency or frequency to voltage converters. The series includes the 9400, 9401, 9402 converters. These converters have the same internal circuitry and connection diagrams, but they differ slightly in electrical characteristics. A complete V/F or F/V system can be formed simply by using two external capacitors, three resistors and a reference voltage. In addition, the 9400 series consist of CMOS and bipolar devices that can operate on dual or single supply voltages.
The 9400 is designed for pulse and square wave outputs having a frequency range of 1Hz to 100KHz. Furthermore, the input can be either current or voltage, and the output can interface with most forms of logic. The equivalent circuit consisting of an integrator, comparators, a delay network, a divide by 2 network and open collector output transistors. The input current is converted to a charge by the integrating capacitor and shows up as a linearly decreasing voltage at the output of the op amp integrator.
|Voltage To Frequency Converter
|Pin Out of 9400 IC
Pin 1: Ibias
A resistance Rbias is connected between pins 1 and 4. Specifications for 9400 are based on Rbias = 100kΩ ± 10%.
Pin 2: Zero Adjust
The circuit that can be used to reduce the output initially to zero is connected to this pin. The low frequency set point is determined by adjusting the voltage at this pin.
Pin 3: Iin
This pin is the negative input of the op amp, and the input current Iin is applied to it. Iin is 10µA for nominal full scale with an overrange current upto 50µA.
Pin 4: Vss
Pin 5: Vref out
When Cref is to be charged, the Cref charge/discharge control circuit connects this pin to the reference voltage Vref (Pin 7).
Pin 6: Ground
Pin7: Vref
A reference voltage from either separate negative supply or the Vss may be applied to this pin.
Pin8: Pulse Frequency output
At this pin a pulse wave output is available whose frequency is proportional to the input voltage. Since this is an open collector output, it requires a pull up resistor and interface directly with all forms of logic.
Pin 9: Output Common
The emitters of both the output transistors are connected to this pin. A unipolar or bipolar output voltage swing can be obtained by connecting this pin either to ground or to the negative supply Vss, respectively. For high performance applications, the output ground (Pin 9) should be separated from the input ground (Pin 6).
Pin 10: Frequency Divide BY 2 Output.
This pin provides a square wave output that is one half the frequency of pulse output at pin 8. This output is an open collector and hence requires a pull up resistor. It is also compatible with all logic families.
Pin 11: Comparator Input
This pin is the positive input of the comparator and is connected to the output of the op-amp in the V/F mode. In the F/V mode, the input frequency is applied to the comparator input.
Pin 12: Amplifier Out
This is the output of the op-amp, which is a negative going ramp signal in the V/F mode. In the F/V mode, a voltage proportional to the frequency input is generated at this pin.
Pin 13: NC
No connection
Pin 14: VDD

corporate services
The financial health of any corporation or organization depends on the physical and emotional health of its employees.
Yet today, employees are facing increased stress which can have significant negative impact on their health, resulting in unhealthy and unhappy employees, increases in absenteeism, lowered productivity, and volatile or hostile workplace environments. Sexual aggression, bullying, substance abuse, anxiety, and depression experienced by employees are having significant impact on their co-workers and the business. Through stresses, their immune systems are compromised and they can both become ill and spread illnesses throughout the workplace.
However, by addressing the mental health needs of employees, corporations can increase morale, create more inclusive, safe, and productive work environments, and help foster a more positive work/life balance. This benefits the employee and the employer.
Dr. Warren works with human resources departments to create an integrated therapy program, supporting the emotional and physical well-being of employees, while addressing any workplace issues before they become hostile work environments. Through one-on-one therapy and group therapy sessions, on location, employees feel more comfortable addressing issues. Potentially litigious situations such as bullying and sexual harassment can also be addressed and managed before they reach a crisis stage.

On the fourth Tuesday of every month, the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs partners up with a separate organization and creates a café, complete with slam poetry performances.
Opening night of this event, "The Mahogany Soul Café," was Tuesday evening. It was co-sponsored by the Mu Iota chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha. Members of this fraternity, wearing dress pants and ties, greeted attendees as they walked into the crowded corridor of the Multicultural Center and ushered them into a small side door where the event was held.
"The best part of the evening was the live music because there are very few places you can see that kind of art on campus," Alexandria Lane, sophomore in political science, said.
Some 70 chairs engulfed the middle of the room, while three or four tables, simply decorated in black and white tablecloth, sat front and center to the microphone. The microphone, where the main action of the evening took place, sat on a stage and was surrounded by black curtains, which only added to the atmosphere. To the left side of the stage a small band, consisting of a saxophone, piano and cello, played smooth jazz as people began filtering in.
"My first thought was that it was really small, and I didn't think all of these people would fit," Ty-Vonna Johnson, sophomore in psychology, said.
By the time all 160 guests had crowded into the Mahogany Soul Café, a member of the fraternity was on stage insisting that the gentlemen give up their seats to the ladies. While the room was over-crowded, it did nothing to diminish the relaxed atmosphere of the event, and the 30 or so men who were lining the edges of the room seemed to be a part of the poetry.
Along the back wall there was a delicious and simple spread of McCallister's fruit and desserts, Wing Zone chicken with pre-packaged dipping sauces and fruit punch. Most students filled their plates in a hurry, eager for the event to begin.
"The food was amazing" Lindsay Murphy, sophomore in pre-pharmacy, said.
The slam poetry aspect of the evening was hosted by Taria Person, senior in creative writing, who is also one of the three main organizers of the Mahogany Soul Café event. She went onstage between every individual performance, ensuring that every performer got his or her fair share of clapping.
"Being able to be around this great art is the most rewarding aspect of this," Person said. "People are able to speak up here about things they might not get to otherwise."
Indeed, the poetry slam was all about speaking up. Seventeen performers got onstage and expressed themselves, always in a very passionate manner. The performers' voices rose and fell with the tone of the poems, usually accompanied by emphatic body language. A great deal of the poetry was originally composed, although some students sang songs written by others. Jonathan Kinnard, senior in political science, said he was very nervous when he sang "Don't Change" by Musik.
"There are few chances to express your talent in front of so many people," Kinnard said. "You don't always have that ability."
Two of the main organizers of the Mahogany Soul Café, Justin Coleman, senior in pre-med, and Biaunca King, senior in marketing, said the planning for this event begins at least three weeks ahead of time. This means shortly they will be prepping for the next Mahogany Soul Café performance.
The show begins with prepared performances but ends with a series of open-mic amateurs. Anyone who would like to try his or her hand at performing, would like some good food or even just wants to appreciate a warm and accepting atmosphere is welcome to attend on Tuesday, Sept. 27.

Today I heard the Decemberists' song The Mariner's Revenge for the first time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Sw61oITuts
I thought right away that it needed to be added to my list of the all-time great story songs.
But I don't actually have such a list. So I've been mulling it over…
- "The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night"
- "'52 Vincent" written by Richard Thompson, but as performed by Del McCoury band http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YW-w0KgE-8s
- "A Boy Named Sue" — Johnny Cash, written by Shel, of course.
- "Devil Went Down to Georgia" — Charlie Daniels
- "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" – Warren Zevon
- "Mean Individual Stranded in a Limousine."- Paul Simon
- The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia.
- "Hot Rod Lincoln"
- "Frozen Logger" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIYDtqM9Vq4&feature=related
Trucker songs merit their own category… Two of my favorites:
- "Little Joe" Red Sovine
- "Roll On" Alabama
Of course, if we're going to allow Roll On, it almost seems like we'll have to allow "Wildfire…"
I love how many of thoser songs have not only an ending, but a twist ending!
These are great songs, which almost qualify as story songs, but not quite (according to my stringent standards)
- "City of New Orleans"
- "The Weight"
Of course I wouldn't dream of finalizing this list without hearing your input…

No longer just a blogging platform, wordpress is robust and feature-rich. It's my favorite CMS (content management system) and it lets you, the business owner on a budget, easily make updates to site content as needed. In addition, it allows you and me to concentrate on design and marketing, instead of making sure the code works. The below list should give you a good idea of the costs involved.
- WordPress installations start at $3500 if you're using a predesigned theme + a custom banner.
- A fully customized theme design starts around $2500.
- Add $500-5000 if you're looking for e-commerce (depending upon the number of products for sale).
- SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is an ongoing commitment starting around $750/month, depending upon your needs.
- Other functionalities such as forums, chat features, galleries, etc. are also available and will require a more customized estimate.
- Monthly growth plans on these sites starts at $50/month. The most basic of these options allows me to ensure your site is always running optimally and securely. It's also recommended to back up your site frequently and these monthly growth plans will allow me to do that, with the least amount of cost (both in time and dollars!) to you.
I want to get started, Tracey!

Starring: Jean Dujardin, Berenice Bejo and John Goodman
Directed by: Michel Hazanavicius
Rated: PG 13
Running time: 1 hour 47 minutes
The Weinstein Company
Our Score: 5 out 5 stars
What a great time early Hollywood must have been like. Then you could turn up at any film studio, get work as an extra and, if you caught the right eye, build a career. It's 1928 and the reigning king of the movies is George Valentin (Dujardin). We meet him at the premiere of his latest adventure film, a spy film that features George and his trusty sidekick, known to fans as the Dog (Uggie). While mingling with fans afterwards, he poses for a photograph with a female fan (Bejo) who takes the opportunity to give him a peck on the cheek as the cameras flash. The next day the trade papers run the photo on the front page. The photo does not make George's wife, Doris (Penelope Ann Miller) happy. Of course, as someone who sits about the house reading fan magazines just so she can deface any photo of George she comes across, nothing much does. It also angers studio head Al Zimmer, who blames the photo for pushing the release of the new film to page 5. Yet soon the lives of the star, the fan and the mogul will merge into one of the most original films of this decade.
A nominee for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, where Dujardin was named Best Actor, "The Artist" is a beautifully photographed story about accepting change even when it frightens you. George is not impressed with the new miracle of talking pictures. He decides he will write and direct his own film, using the skills he's honed as an actor to tell the story without sound. His studio, however, disagrees. They've cast their newest up and coming star, Peppy Miller (the one time photographed fan/film extra), in a talkie. While doing a radio interview Peppy disdains the actors of silent Hollywood, dismissing their acting as "mugging for the camera." This upsets George, who learns that his film will open the same day as Peppy's. As George leaves the mostly empty theatre showing his film he finds himself caught in a mob of people. He realizes they are all crowded in front of the theatre playing Peppy's movie. The public has spoken. But George will not.
In 1981 I had the great fortune to attend a screening of Abel Gance's silent classic "Napoleon," accompanied by a full orchestra. It was there that I learned that film is, first and foremost, a visual art form. Minutes could go by without a title card and you never lost a beat in the story. The same is true with "The Artist." As George and Peppy begin to kindle a relationship their eyes and body language tell a story that words can't begin to do justice to. The cast is brilliant. Dujardin is sure to earn an Academy Award nomination for his work here and, if he wins, he would be only the second Best Actor winner to win for a silent film role. Ironically the first winner, Emil Jennings, saw his career in Hollywood fade after the invention of talking pictures due to his heavy German accent. Bejo matches Dujardin scene for scene, giving the film an "A Star is Born" feel. Other notable performances are delivered by Goodman, Miller, James Cromwell and Malcolm McDowell. The film is beautifully photographed and the original score, by composer Ludovic Bource, is the perfect accompaniment.

They offer you the flexibility to meet both contemporary and traditional design wishes, and with the number of styles and colors available, you can uncover a combination to satisfy whatever your heart desires. Positives: Removable between-the-glass grilles easily snap in and out so you are able to change styles whenever you update your home or change styles or paint. Regardless of the window grilles you go with, there are a few color choices to meet your design requirements. Grille options are available today with dual or triple pane insulated glass to offer more energy efficient options than historical grilles used with single-pane glass. Between-the-glass grilles and removable grilles are available to make for a quick cleaning of the glass. Now that we've seen a few positives of window grilles, let's take a look at the challenges associated with window grilles. Negatives: While there are a variety of designs we carry, some homeowners feel that some grille styles can obstruct their view of the outside world. Many window grilles are permanent once installed, limiting design flexibility in the future. If grilles are bonded permanently to the surface of the glass that is cleaned, cleaning can be more of a challenge. Replacement windows that showcase grilles are typically more costly than those that don't feature grilles. Whether you're moving and need to get replacement windows or you're simply shopping around for your current home, window grilles may be a great accent to your next set of windows. There are a number of things to ponder, from style to color choice, but with a little help from our experts, we're sure you'll find just what you're in the market for. Of course, with the number of options available, we suggest dropping by our Lewes showroom, giving us a call at 302-257-5544 or scheduling an in-home consultation with us via the online scheduler so you can get an up-close look at the choices we carry.

When President Trump delivered his commencement address at Liberty University on May 13, his themes were mostly conventional ones: patriotism, faith, the importance of striving for one's goals. The true Trumpian note emerged only when the president strayed for a moment onto the subject of criticism. "Nothing is easier or more pathetic than being a critic, because they're people that can't get the job done," Trump said. Against the impotent carping of critics, he posed the constructive ambition of "dreamers": "The future belongs to the dreamers, not to the critics."
This distinction had an obvious relevance to Trump himself, who dreamed himself into the White House against all odds. But it was not an original idea; disdain for critics is perennially popular, particularly in the arts. Indeed, artists who would be aghast to find themselves on the same side of any debate as Donald Trump might well feel a sneaking sympathy with his dismissal of critics. It was the composer Jean Sibelius who apparently originated the oft-repeated quip that no one ever put up a statue of a critic. (If that was ever true, it's not now: There is a statue of Roger Ebert outside a movie theater in Illinois.) Trump would agree, just as he would surely appreciate the well-known comparison, attributed to the Irish writer Brendan Behan, of critics to eunuchs in a harem: They see it being done every day, but they can't do it themselves.
The contempt of artists for critics is, of course, understandable. To create an artwork is to give the world a kind of gift, and no one likes having a gift rejected, or even inspected too carefully. In a sense, artists who condemn criticism are relying on the old idea that "it's the thought that counts": Because the intention of the giver is generous and pure, any carping about the gift is cruelly small-minded. Yet as anyone who has received an ill-fitting or unsuitable present knows, the thought is not the only thing that counts. Once a work of art emerges from its creator's study or studio, it becomes the possession of anyone who interacts with it, and therefore it is open to judgment: Do I actually derive pleasure and enlightenment from it?
There is no way to stifle this question, which is the foundation of all criticism. Every reader or viewer or listener asks it, whether they want to or not. A critic is just a reader or viewer or listener who makes the question explicit and tries to answer it publicly, for the benefit of other potential readers or viewers or listeners. In doing so, she operates on the assumption that the audience for a work, the recipient of a gift, is entitled to make a judgment on its worth. The realm of judgment is plural. Everyone brings his or her own values and standards to the work of judging. This means that it is also, essentially, democratic. No canon of taste or critical authority can compel people to like what they don't like.
Not even the ardent sincerity of the artist can do that — and being subjected to criticism does a great deal to expose the complex motives that underlie an artist's sincerity. Like any donor, she gives not out of sheer altruism, but also out of a desire for recognition, for admiration of her skill and talent. That is why books display the names of their authors: Writers want credit for what they've given us, not unlike the way hospital wings and sports stadiums display the names of their sponsors. One reason artists dislike criticism is that it can unearth and analyze this will to power.
No one gets to be president without wanting to write his or her name in large letters on the American psyche, but most presidents at least gesture in the direction of humility and public service. President Trump, however, has never been anything but straightforward about his egotism. He made his reputation in real estate by splashing his name in gold on almost every structure he built; now he hangs a map of his electoral victory on the White House wall. When the terms of his achievement are so personal, how could criticism fail to strike him as an egoistic injury? The belittling of critics as pathetic and impotent is entirely of a piece with his giving mocking nicknames to rivals, like "low-energy" Jeb Bush and "little" Marco Rubio.
But there is a danger when we see criticism as nothing but an expression of resentment. For in politics, as in art, the right to criticize is really the right to make an independent judgment of reality. Democracy relies on a citizenry informed and active enough to make such judgments; in a democracy, we are all critics. This pluralism is always frustrating to politicians, just as it is to artists, because both tend to believe so implicitly in their own sincerity and good will that they come to perceive opposition as mere obstinacy. In his Liberty University speech, Trump also said that "the system is broken. A small group of failed voices who think they know everything and understand everyone want to tell everybody else how to live and what to do and how to think." Why not simply sweep those voices aside, the way every creator must silence inner and outer doubts?
This is a standing temptation for democratic politics, and it was one of the chief appeals of fascism. A common theme of fascist propaganda was that parliaments were "talking-shops," where speechmaking and idle criticism made effective action impossible. The promise of fascism was to replace plurality by unity — "one people, one state, one leader," in the words of the Nazi slogan — thus making debate unnecessary. The problem, of course, is that plurality — the existence of profoundly different points of view on questions of morality and politics — can never simply disappear. It must be actively suppressed, which is why Communist and fascist states that emphasized the unity of the people's will relied so heavily on secret police forces.
How to live with criticism is perhaps the hardest lesson that a liberal democracy teaches its citizens. No one really welcomes it, neither the left nor the right. "If we are free to loathe Trump, we are free to loathe his most loyal voters," wrote Frank Rich in New York magazine in March, a sentiment that would be heartily reciprocated by readers of Breitbart. But as soon as our critics become our enemies — voices to be silenced and dismissed, rather than listened to — we have left the realm of politics behind.
The artist can look away from criticism, sometimes even has to do it, because the creative act involves a difficult self-assertion, which might be compromised by even a small degree of doubt. Politicians who set themselves up as artists of reality, however, who demand the total appreciation an artist longs for, are extremely dangerous. By suggesting that all criticism of their ideas and plans is invalid, nothing but the product of malice, they make public deliberation impossible. We will always need political dreamers; but for the sake of our democracy, we must hope that the future belongs to the critics.

I shopped, bought and built our new lawnmower all on my own!!
I went to mow my lawn on my usual Wednesday yard work day and I had forgotten to plug the battery in so I had to plug it in and wait until the following day to do it. Thursday morning I grabbed the battery out of the laundry room where I charge it and it was crazy hot and I couldn't get it to fit into the lawnmower. Greg told me to leave it alone since it was probably swollen from the heat. Later that day I tried again once it cooled down and it still wouldn't fit. Greg tried Friday morning when he was getting his bike out and said it was still swollen and we would need a new one.
I was really annoyed because this battery operated lawnmower was only 2 years old and the one we had before this was also only 2 years old when we had to replace it and yes it was battery operated. We had purchased the latest one at Canadian Tire so I went online to see if I could find a replacement battery for it and the one that said would fit in my lawn mower with all the right specifications was actually more narrow then wide which would not fit. I did find one in store that looked like it would fit into mine but the voltage was too high and Greg said it wouldn't work. Plus it was the same price as the lawnmower I had found on sale so I wasn't too interested in it.
As much as I absolutely loved my battery operated lawn mower, I knew that I wasn't buying another one. They are much pricier then electric or gas versions and don't last nearly as long. I didn't necessarily want the cheapest lawn mower but it had to be light and it had to be electric. I don't like the idea of storing gasoline in my garage so that was a definite deal breaker for us.
Before bootcamp that morning I had looked at Walmart, Home Depot, Rona, Canadian Tire + Lowe's websites looking for the best deal. I narrowed it down between one from Canadian Tire and one from Lowes. Luckily for me, they are both in the same parking lot so easy to get from one to the other if necessary. I ended up liking the one at Canadian Tire and it was pretty light and it was a pretty colour haha. There was nobody around so I had to put the box into the cart all by myself. It was fairly light and I am fairly strong so I was able to make it work. It was a little harder getting it out of the cart though and into my journey but getting it out was ok. It was weird but I think it had something to do with the positioning of it in the cart since i had to lift up and then out. I don't know though, just guessing.
I was going to leave it at first for Greg to build but I really wanted to get the lawn done that day and not wait until the next day for it to be done since Finley had tech training that night. So I attempted to put it together on my own.
I don't normally use a grass catcher on my lawn mowers because I like to mulch the grass once it is cut but I thought I would give it a try and it seemed pretty easy to put on. Unless of course you don't actually have it on, it just looks like it is haha.
It only took about 20 minutes and my lawnmower was put together all by me. As you can see the grass catcher isn't on it and that is because as I was mowing my front lawn, I noticed that the cut grass was still on my lawn so I turned it off and unplugged it from the cord and looked at it. Turns out I had it partially attached but not all the way in or something like that. I took it off, threw it in my garage and there it stays haha. Ironically enough, I used the same cord on this one as I did on our first electric lawnmower when we bought the house 9 years ago. How do I know this? It has electrical tape covering up the areas that I ran it over hahaha.
The lawnmower is much more powerful then my previous 2 and is really light. It is actually lighter then my battery operated one or at least very close. It is small and compact like my previous one and cuts really well. The cord is taking some getting used to but I have now used it 2x since I got it and I seem to be getting a routine so to speak down.
Here's hoping it lasts longer then 2 years!!

Winter Bible Camp: Christmas for Kids
Christmas is such a busy time, it's easy to get distracted from what is really important. Our Christmas celebrations are about more than presents and food. Christmas is about the love of our God who sent his Son into the world to begin his work to be our Savior. It is, as the angel said to the shepherds, "Good news of great joy that is for all people!" (Luke 2:10).
Our one-day Winter Bible Camp allows children to focus on this wonderful message and be able to share this amazing news with their friends and family as well! Camp will be held on December 17, 2016 from 1:00pm-3:30pm.
Registration for our Winter, Spring, and Summer Bible Camps is now open. You can register here: 2016-2017 Bible Camp Registration.

Good morning,
My friend holiness Gayle and I have been reading and talking about The Michael Teachings. It talks about how our souls make agreements between lives with other "fragments", in order to grow through 7 levels of understanding (this is a gross simplification of the concept for email explanation purposes) smiles. Have you heard of these teachings and what do you think? It reminding me of your colors and garments of light, how the different colors indicate the age of the soul and it's purpose.
The reason I ask, is I have noticed that Madeline Dimpled Time has quite a negative vibe/attitude towards her sister (Delilah, aqua). She is kind to all people and animals, but she seems to have a real "hateful"-thing going on with Delilah. It is very hard for Maddy to say anything or even think anything kind towards Delilah, and that seems to be all that is important to Delilah in the world (for her sister to say a kind word to her.....or better yet actually appear to love her). Is there more to this relationship than appears? Is this a carry over from something in a past life? It may sound trivial, but is is actually quite troublesome in our home. I would like to facilitate peace between these two girls.
We did the blessing, and it felt wonderful. I bless myself and I bless this space. Daily, hourly, thank you for your wisdom. I really appreciate your insight and friendship.
Blossoming Petals
cw: Inline Response from White Buffalo Calf Woman (cw) to Blossoming Petals (bp),
bp: Good morning,
cw: Blossoming Petals,
cw: Lets try to be respectful and use my name. Address me. If others do not address you properly, then request it and forgive them if they do not. But if you do not demand it, then respect is not what you will receive. Sorry you are not getting your deserved respect at home. Use my name when talking to me. This is simply, common courtesy!
bp: My friend Holiness Gayle and I have been reading and talking about The Michael Teachings. It talks about how our souls make agreements between lives with other "fragments", in order to grow through 7 levels of understanding (this is a gross simplification of the concept for email explanation purposes) smiles. Have you heard of these teachings and what do you think?
cw: Below are some excerpts from Micheal Teachings. The whole thing makes me cry. Such ignorance. Do people really believe this stuff? This is a severe lack of knowledge, and really stupidity (people who do not trust their own souls, depending on outside resources, rather than relying on self realization). Life can be so simple, to them, as if we are only seven roles! They understand nothing of evolution. These are people who don't listen to their own hearts, but use their intelligence and exclusions of all other life. My goodness, my beloved, take your role seriously? You are the Aqua person, Blossoming Petals, the one who is the leader of men. Guide them home, to our groups and hoops so they may learn truth.
cw: Another thing, Holiness Gayle is your younger sister, a lavender person. You are the eldest sister in the house of God, an aqua person. You are both girl souls and girl flesh, so you are both very female. And you think with your heart, rather than with intelligence. But when you trust your intelligence, you are denying your inner knowledge of your souls. Trust your soul, the eternal spirit knows.
cw: "When you trust your flesh, you lose your address (forgetting you are living in heaven). Trust your soul, the eternal nose (knows or bridge to your flesh, the wild wild west, where the sun does rise within). If you don't know who you are and don't know what you are doing, then know the Soul knows the way, true to yesterday (the eternal circle of life, repeats and grows)!
bp: It reminding me of (Rainbow) colors and garments of light, how the different colors indicate the age of the soul and it's purpose.
cw: The Rainbow Colors are the mathematical perfection of heaven and earth. These colors validate our lives, completely. Not somewhat. Each of us are perfect and unique like snowflakes. No two are the same. Surely there is no exclusions or a limited seven roles placed on anyone (Micheal teachings), other than what lies on our hearts. Rainbow Colors are tools of light, not the soul. The soul is eternal. The mathematical perfection is in accordance to all life, heavenly or earthly. There is no conflicts, only perfection we each play a part within the oneness. Our roles vary according to our destiny written on our book of life, our souls, and our tools of lights, the four sacred directions offer us guidance to our roles, as part of the Oneness.
cw: Micheal teachings are a guess work, where there is no truth, and channeling is a combination of more than one entity, not truth. Only the reflection of the truth, where there is only ignorance and intelligence. When a person has a diploma, a piece of paper, doesn't mean that person, has more knowledge than one who doesn't have a piece of paper, we call a graduate. True knowledge is when we apply what we know, to the world outside. The soul guides the way, and wisdom partakes and plays. When we use intelligence, we dismiss our inner knowledge. Channeling is a form of intelligence or someone going to school, where application is not rooted in day to day activities or real life training.
bp: The reason I ask, is I have noticed that Madeline Dimpled Time (crystal) has quite a negative vibe/attitude towards her sister (Delilah, aqua). She is kind to all people and animals, but she seems to have a real "hateful"-thing going on with Delilah.
cw: Dimpled Time is a crystal person. She is the soul mirror to another. It's that simple. The only way for Delilah to respond to Madeline is to use love. Any other method, will not get any results. It is not Madeline who is being mean. It is Delilah who is the mean one! Delilah is acting this way, but no one catches her in the act, or corrects her behavior, and since she is an aqua person, well most of the world will follow her and not question her behavior, like the way people act towards you Blossoming Petals (aqua person). This is a big problem when it comes to the Aqua person's ego. They tend to get their way, always. No one ever questions them. The Aqua person, the earthly leader, needs to look back (graduate or intelligence) and see what the people need, to lead (application or wisdom). But tends to lead, blindly without asking others for what they need (no wisdom). It is Madeline (crystal person), who is the heavenly leader, who becomes the same way Delilah acts (aqua person). Delilah gets what she gives. And Madeline doesn't realize she does it, but simply does it, as the great treasure (lesson), to offer the doorway to get into heaven (humbleness or bow like the Rainbow). If Delilah uses love, she wins. But if Delilah uses control, hate or blame, she loses. The crystal person, Madeline, offers the treasure (wisdom), to help Delilah learn the perfection, her perfect part (the soul which she sees in the mirror of Madeline, the crystal person). Madeline offers (the treasure or lesson) to Delilah. The choice is to use the law of love, the heart (wisdom or application), or continue using her intelligence. By acting the same way toward Delilah, Madeline (crystal person) offers her the greatest treasure, the lesson. Delilah (aqua person) acts with intelligence or blame, rather than a heart. And when you use love, you win, with your soul, and evolve personally. But if you try to use anything else with a crystal else with a crystal person, you get more of the same. You just can't win, without using love. You see, the crystal person is the perfect warrior, and the God of science, who has the most intelligence. But rather than using intelligence, the crystal person, uses the heart and serves.
cw: Then you tell Delilah to start to use love towards Madeline. When Madeline says an unkind word. Tell Delilah to go and give her a hug, instead of walking away or using tears, or worse blaming her sister, for her own behavior. Get Delilah (cloud), to go to Madeline (door), when she is acting (Madeline) the worst, and ask her, "What is the matter with you, my sister (Madeline). Are you in pain? Can I help you? I am sorry if I brought pain to you!" Start to care more about Madeline (crystal person), rather than caring about Delilah (aqua person)! Love always works positively on a crystal person. Always, in fact it's the only thing that will work, because any other method, will get you the perfect warrior, in your face. Just as you have experienced with me. You won't win, until you use love, and that's the key to evolution. Madeline will always be right, ALWAYS. Beleive me, she (Madeline) doesn't want to be right, but that the role of a crystal person, is to validate the soul of others, whether it be violent or harmonious behavior. Bottom line is Madeline (crystal person), simply won't break any laws of God, but it will surely look like she does and everyone will blame her for their own actions. You simply cannot get away with impure actions when around a crystal person, because they care enough to show you how you act. It's automatic and not something that is thought out. It is the mirror to the soul, the twin heart of those who look upon their own soul.
bp: Is there more to this relationship than appears? Is this a carry over from something in a past life?
cw: Past lives matters not, because the only law is LOVE. Use love, and you evolve. That's it. Don't use love, then you get to do it all over again, again and again (karmic lives, a repeat, in one lifetime or many lifetimes), until you do use love. Another thing, is if any of you, don't use love and don't do your blessings, then you bring the impure of the world around you, home to Madeline. And then she has to become it, good bad or ugly. So to make all feel better, use the blessings. You can teach Madeline, to tell others to bless themselves. Or to say, "You need to manage your space, with blessings" or "You don't have a right to dump all over me!" Madeline can insist others bless themselves, to feel better. Holiness Gayle can rescue Madeline, if she asks Holiness Gayle. Teach Madeline to ask Holiness Gayle, to help the one who is in pain. She can ask no other, except Holiness. "I feel pain, follow my heart and send love" she would ask to a Holiness, a lavender person. Madeline feels the pain of others and often thinks it's her own. This is quite common with everyone, and that's why we need to bless, to cleanse our holy temple, like we cleanse our own houses, every single day. Get the dirt out, with blessings. It's like taking a shower, a spiritual bath. Madeline, is always pure, but feels everything and knows everything, but cannot speak about it with intelligence at her age, more like a feeling or heart knowledge we call wisdom. When you can walk towards the seemingly hateful ways of a crystal person with love, then you have walked into the House of God and through the "Pearly Gates" or "the front door". Learn to be humble to the crystal person, your daughter, and your sister White Buffalo Calf Woman. We live our lives to serve, and we belong to you, as servants. Blaming us for anything, is blaming yourself, because we turn into you, the soul we twin upon, the book of life, whether it be heavenly or earthly entities.
bp: It may sound trivial, but is is actually quite troublesome in our home. I would like to facilitate peace between these two girls.
cw: Then you get Delilah to go to Madeline and say, "I love you", or "I am sorry, I did not bless" (management of self space) and then ask Delilah to ask Madeline, if she would bless with her or even bless her. Madeline can bless her with song, but Delilah needs bless with fire. Get Madeline to sing to others, to guide them and help others, to offer them peace by teaching the fire ceremony and sacred blessings. Ask Madeline anything, and she will do it for anyone, you just have to ask, as she is the front door to the House of God, the crystal person. She is crowned peace and can bring peace to others. Love brings peace and happiness. Use love, it's the law. Holiness David says, "There's a new law in town, and the LAW is LOVE!" It's really the old law, but evolution teaches us, as we migrate from the world of earth, to the world of heaven and earth, the third phase of evolution.
cw: This is what the crystal person must bee. This works anytime with a crystal person. We wear the heavenly crown. And soon everyone will be able to see it. Indigos can see it right now, as they have the vision of sight, but must be standing in front of the crystal person. And must be in the right position as dark and light space moves around.
cw: Delilah must learn to look back at others and see what they need, rather than only doing what Delilah wants as an Aqua person. She must learn the 360 dance. Serving others is what Delilah does for herself, not for others. She must learn to turn around and ask. Madeline serves others for others, not for herself. Delilah needs a pat on the back, or ego lifted. Madeline never needs her ego lifted (but it's good medicine to offer the embrace). The servant, is the one who is caring for others first, before self. This is true love. Get Delilah to serve others first, rather than herself. And get Madeline to teach of the holy blessings, to manage their (others) space, and to use song to relieve or bless others. Just saying I bless you, does not work for Madeline, but teaching others to bless themselves, helps Madeline. Teaching Delilah to asking others before leading, helps her to be a good leader, by serving others first. This offers Delilah, real application of her innate ability to lead people with a heart, rather than with intelligence.
bp: We did the blessing, and it felt wonderful. I bless myself and I bless this space. Daily, hourly, thank you for your wisdom. I really appreciate your insight and friendship.
cw: I am not your friend. I am your relative. Friends come and go. Relatives stay for eternity. We are relatives. Thank you for Blessing your space, and teach all to do the same. This one thing, shall save them, when darkness folds with lightness. this is the very shift we need learn. True life application of our learning. Blessings and purification, walks sacred.
bp: Love,
Blossoming Petals
cw: your devoted servant,
White Buffalo Calf Woman, your Twin Deer Mother
elder christal person, wakan iyeshka or holy interpreter
alightfromwithin.org prophecy of rainbow warriors
[DAVE G says this.] A fundamental aspect of Michael's wisdom is that the meaning of existence is in a nutshell -- life. There is nothing else. The experiences we gather from living day after day, lifetime after lifetime, constitute the essential components necessary to grow spiritually. There are no secret rituals, special meditations, or any other esoteric practices required. Life itself is the only lesson plan needed in order to move forward. From this continual dance, we eventual learn the following tenet: we are here to learn how to choose, and to choose how to learn.
cw: [White Buffalo Calf Woman says this.] This whole concept is pure ignorance. We are not here to learn to choose, and to choose how to learn. We are here to experience life, to be "I am". This is Godly. The only law to being, is the law of love. There is no choice. Our lives are predestine before we got here. God has it all planned out. You take your place and learn about love. Or you get to do again and again, until you do take your place and learn about love. There is no choice, except do I use love today, and/or this moment. There is no other choice. You live up to yourself, not to anyone else or anything else. Forgive and bee free or hate, feel misery and repeat.
cw: We are here to learn rituals, special meditations and practice spirituality, and that's why we have religion. How does one throw away eons of religion? This is big time lack of knowledge and wisdom. All has it's place. It's called purification with fire and water, the holy blessings. Life itself is not the only lesson plan, in order to move forwards. The only way to move forwards is using love and purification acts of ceremony, gathering and serving others. Humility is the humbleness of the sacred Rainbow Clan. Evolution comes from these actions, and the warrior who fights to keep these laws (rituals) alive.
cw: This is certainly not wisdom of Micheal, but reflection of many entities, heavenly and earthly. Holiness David says, "Why are you listening to Micheal channelings, when you should be listening to God". I continue on to say, "Which is everyone and everything". Service to others. Truth can only bee told by a crystal person, the rest of us, need to realize, this is the purpose of crystal people. Like a crystal rock, when light shines through it, the many colors divide and can bee seen perfectly. Others who are not crystal people, cannot do this, nor know truth, it's a reflection of the truth. Although it can be knowledge. We all have purpose, to serve the whole we call God.
cw: Michael channelings are not truth. When you talk with God, you are directly talking to someone. Just like when you talk with your relatives or person, you met on the street. Channelings are from someone, who is listening to someone else. There is no truth. Only a crystal person can hear truth, because they are not channeling, they are speaking to a spiritual being, like talking to them. You get to hear the conversation, because they become the soul of the spiritual entity. Others must listen, interpret, then write or transcribe, then you get to hear it. By the time you hear the data, it's second hand knowledge. Why don't you simply pray, and talk with God directly, like we do with people every day?
cw: I will give you an example. When I sing a song, it comes out of me, a crystal person, without premeditation. It just comes out of me, as if I was speaking for another. I become their soul, the twin heart. I never know what is going to come out of me. I never sing the same song twice. Each song is unique and without fore knowledge or reinterpretation. It just is (although, I do interpret the songs, afterward, so others do understand the meaning as your sacred interpreter). Others cannot do this. Only a crystal person can do this. When channeling, you must perceive. Crystals don't perceive or use intelligence. It's just happens. Now sometimes, other Rainbow Clan members appear to do this also, but what happens, is there is a reflection, like looking under water, and must interpret what is heard or said, to speak it out. Crystal people do not do this. There is no interpretation or reflection, because it's from the darkness of the soul, or heavenly existence. Others are reading the light, which is the flesh and intelligence, the reflection of the darkness of heaven. And therefore not truth.
cw: Michael entity claims to be a collective of 1050 souls. Evolution is the incarnation of existence, when one is the living being, whether heavenly or earthly. 1050 is not Oneness or a whole of anything, only a perspective or reflection of parts. Those who are not of earth, are children, learning to descend upon Earth. They are the soul children of heaven. We are the soul elders upon Earth. You must evolve from heaven, to walk upon Earth, through descending of the soul. This is what all spiritual beings from heaven look to attain. We need to take our place, and start to take care of our heaven, as children they are.
cw: Channelers, are hearing or seeing other realms. They are experiencing communication with heaven. This is part of our evolution. And it's happening to everyone. Don't think you can't do this too. When we pray, we are channelers. We are talking to God, and we certainly don't need others to talk to God for us. We all have the ability to talk with God.
[Reflection] Micheal Teachings says this, "The Tao consists of an infinite number of sparks, or units of consciousness, that are at once wholly unified and individual, like the cells of our body. Some of these sparks are purely potential, and others have experienced varying degrees and kinds of realization in the universe and in the Tao itself. The Tao is the fundamental creator, and it created the universe to be its "workshop," a place where it could manifest and further know itself. The Tao pervades the universe with love, which is the animating force, the fundamental impulse, in all creation. Our spark, being part of the Tao, shares in the Tao's creativity. When we created our essence, we cast or extended ourselves from the Tao into the universe in order to expand the Tao. We explore, experience, and create in order to actualize more of the Tao's potential and bring back to it a wealth of new knowledge about itself. Since the Tao's nature is love, what we are really about, ultimately, is expanding love."
[Truth] White Buffalo Calf Woman Says this, "The word Tao means to walk towards home", in which the Blue Lake People know and observe, where eternal knowing of the Blue Road walks. It is also a mathematical evidence (Tao de Ching, walk towards home is the way) according to the Yellow People of Asia for thousands of years (united blue and red road, the yellow way, walking talking, the rising sun). These two factors, do not conflict. Tao is not an infinite number of sparks, but a finite number, of mathematical viability. Tao is is the whole of sum parts, which belong together as Oneness. This oneness is what is universal, where the Law is Love, called the Red Road talks, where the Spirit of the Lake People (Lakota, Dakota, Nakota). The longest and strongest wave form. Both light (earthly) and sound (heavenly) travel on this wave. The animating force is called biophotons or electromagnetism (where the blue road of our souls, cross the red road of our flesh, bringing us the yellow way of unification, a light from within, our dreams come true), which offers life, or "I am", the path. We expand and contract, to bring life, we call breath, our vehicle to transport us from our souls to our flesh, the to and fro, of binding our lives to our relatives. Knowledge is the ultimate realization, we are servants, flowing both directions at the same time, where there is only one law, the whole of walking towards home, where we are harmonious, to the sum of all the parts. Tao is the realization of "I am", where there is only one law, the law of love, to exist.
What is Truth?
By White Buffalo Calf Woman, your Twin Deer Mother, elder christal (crystal) person
All things we know as truth, is consistent with everything else we conceive to be true. And continues to align with all observations and is mathematically viable, where truth is concerned. When one of these does not exist, then it simply is not truth (then it falls through). It doesn't work. Truth is always consistent with all other factors.
God is perfect and true to the point of view. Trust the soul, that knows, to live in a perfect world. Truth comes when all belong together consistently, harmoniously and perfection is known. When there is chaos, incongruities, and then falsity becomes part of the unknown, we begin to seek answers for the truth. This is why we quest and look beyond, searching for truth. Trust your doubt and look out to the world, where answers must be sought and wisdom must grow from within, until truth is known.
There is a saying by Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860), "All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." It is the self evidence in which truth is accepted knowledge of the soul. When others recognize, their own truth, it goes through these stages until realization is known. But when other factors bring us to changing our perspective, then it was never truth to begin with. Truth is always knowing, viable and sustainable, our eternal spirit grows.

Richard Caswell was born in Harford (now Baltimore) County, Md., on 3 August 1729. He moved to North Carolina in 1746. He was appointed deputy surveyor of the colony in 1750 and clerk of the court of Orange County 1752-1754. Caswell studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1754 and commenced practice in Hillsboro, N.C. He served as a member of the colonial house of delegates 1754–1771, and served as speaker the last two years. Caswell commanded the right wing of Colonial Governor William Tryon's army at the Battle of Alamance in 1771, and later served as an officer in the Revolutionary Army. He was elected a member of the Continental Congress from 1774 to 1775. Caswell commanded the patriots at the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge, North Carolina, on 23 February 1776, and was appointed brigadier general of the New Bern District by the Provincial Congress in 1776. He was delegate to the state constitutional convention and its president in 1776. Caswell was chosen as the first Governor of the State of North Carolina from 1776 to 1780. He commanded the North Carolina troops at the Battle of Camden in 1780. He was comptroller general in 1782, and was a member of the state senate 1782–1784 and served as speaker. Caswell was again elected governor in 1785 and served until 1787. The state appointed him as a delegate from North Carolina to the convention that framed the Federal Constitution in 1787, but he did not attend. He served as a member of the state convention at Fayetteville, N.C., that adopted the Federal Constitution in 1789. He was a member and speaker of the state house of commons in 1789 and served until his death by stroke in Fayetteville, N.C., 10 November 1789. Caswell was buried in the family cemetery on his estate near Kinston, Lenoir County, N.C.

The catechism program at St. Dunstan's Basilica is twofold: we seek to pass on the rich teachings of the Catholic faith and to introduce our young people to the person of Jesus Christ.
We strive to impart the doctrine of the Catholic faith in our classrooms by using methods that will engage our students & encourage them to connect the Catholic faith to their own lives. We teach the youth in our program how to pray and why prayer is important. We open the Scriptures with them and hope to imbue in them a love for God's word. We spend time teaching the doctrine of the Catholic faith and using examples and activities that reinforce these teachings.
The name of catechesis was given to the whole of the efforts within the Church to make disciples, to help people to believe that Jesus is the Son of God...and to educate and instruct them in this life and thus build up the Body of Christ. (Catechesi Tradendae #1).
The curriculum we use is "Be My Disciples" from RCL Benziger.

I had the endoscopy on Wednesday and my doc said it was positve just by seeing my gut. The biopsy came through the next day confirming it. While I understand the diagnosis and will gladly embrace the gluten-free lifestyle (and don't expect overnight cures), I doubt I will every feel normal again. I was misdiagnosed 20 years ago and while my stomach was ok for a while, for the last couple of years, I am sick almost every day and in the bathroom it feels like constantly. I am chronically tired and can't seem to get enough sleep. Has anyone felt this way that can tell me it will get better? My doctor promises he will make this better but I can't imagine a day without worring about running to the bathroom! Thanks in advance. I'm glad this forum is here. It was wonderful to find!

Several people have been telling me about this book. It's about an Australian Cattle dog that gets tossed overboard and survives on her own for five months. Oh, and her name is Sophie. That's right, just like my Sophie (or my parents Sophie. You get the idea). Here is a quick summary of the book.
When Jan and Dave Griffith's beloved cattle dog, Sophie, fell overboard from the family yacht during rough weather, she feared the worst. But Sophie, a true Aussie battler, wasn't going to give up that easily. She swam six miles through shark-infested waters to a remote Whitsunday island where she survived for five months before being miraculously reunited with her amazed owners. Sophie, a highly domesticated dog, had been living ferally - and surviving. Yet one glimpse of her owners when they were reunited was enough for the old Sophie to re-emerge.
This is an amazing, inspirational story of survival, loyalty and what binds animals and humans together.
You're really going to have to up your game there Spoofy.

As part of my 'trying new things' attitude, I rather spontaneously signed up for an Adaptive Yoga class with Matthew Sanford at Triyoga in Soho. Last year when I had been googling adaptive yoga classes, I noticed that there are loads of classes in America, but there is a distinct lack of them over here. And then I came across Matthew Sanford.
Matthew Sanford is paralysed from the chest down after surviving a car accident at the age of thirteen that killed his father and sister. Twelve years after his accident, he began studying yoga, and today he is internationally recognised as a yoga teacher, public speaker and author. He also set up Mind Body Solutions, a non-profit adaptive yoga centre based in Minneapolis. On paper he is an amazingly inspiring person… in person he is even more inspiring and I feel so privileged to have met him and taken part in one of his classes.
From time to time he comes over the the UK to run workshops for yoga instructors, and this time around he was running an adaptive class as well. I immediately signed up so that I could experience his teachings first hand.
The class seemed to be a part of his 3 day workshop for teaching adaptive yoga to current yoga teachers. He had obviously spent the majority of the day teaching these teachers, and then they would have a chance to practise what they had learnt with me and the others in the class. There were only a few of us in the class that had mobility problems, which meant that there were about 4 trainee yoga teachers for each of us. I had also brought along my mum and my sister Pip, so there were plenty of people around to help out.
The class was very enjoyable, although I spent most of it in the wheelchair. I would have preferred to have been out of the chair and on the floor, but Matthew was unaware that we were all able to get out of our chairs, so taught a sort of 'sitting down' class. He ensured from the very start that we were seated with perfect posture, which involved putting blocks and blankets in place to hold my legs are 90 degrees and keep my back completely straight.
As a teacher, Matthew is extremely relaxed and has such a calming presence. He made me feel comfortable and everything he said made complete sense to me. He heavily focuses on connecting the mind and body, and how under-utilised that connection is within everyone. He kept telling me to try and push down through my legs and down to the soles of my feet. When he asked whether I could feel myself doing that, I told him that I can always feel what I am trying to do with my legs, even if no one can visibly see it. He seemed very happy with my response and told me that that is what it is all about; connecting the mind and the body. It doesn't matter if I'm not making any visible movements, as long as I am connecting and feeling the movement myself. It is quite hard to explain that properly, but he knew exactly what I was talking about.
Towards the end of the class I got onto the floor to lie down. I can't remember the exact reasons for the things we did on the floor, but it was so relaxing and was a nice way to end the session.
I absolutely loved this yoga class, and I think that 99% of that is down to Matthew Sanford's inspiring presence. He seemed to connect with every single person in the class in a different way. The class was aimed at anyone 'facing loss, trauma or disability' so everyone had a different reason for being there; brain injury, spinal injury, amputation… and somehow he managed to teach us all the same exercises but in a way that was specific to our needs and capabilities.
Unfortunately his trips to the UK are only for a few days every six months or so, but I will be making sure that I can attend one of his classes every time he is over. And I am definitely now going to read his book ('Waking: A Memoir of Trauma and Transcendence'). He truly is one of those people that you meet in life and know that you will never forget.

This recipe was taken from a video shared on where else but Facebook. There are so many recipes that I plan to try and last Saturday, I made these Apam Merekah as I had already bought the ingredients earlier.
In my case, I only have three colours available in my pantry i.e. purple, cochineal (deep red) and green. The green bottle in the picture above is actually pandan emulco or pandan flavouring. The good thing is it is in green colour so it's a 2 in 1 food colouring and pandan flavour in one bottle. I did not bother buying the other flavours/essence because the recipe calls for the use of 1/2tsp only and to buy a whole bottle seems like a waste, unless you use them a lot or bakes a lot.
After mixing all the ingredients, I separated the batter into three. Obviously I did not bother to measure the amount to get the same weight. Add your colouring and/or flavours accordingly to the batter and mix. As for the colours pink and purple, I leave them plain with no flavouring. Remember earlier you already put 1tsp of vanilla essence so that will be fine. Make sure you put just a teeny bit of the food colouring. Although the recipe calls for 1/2 tsp, I added only a few drops, probably 2-3 drops because I want the apam to turn out in lovely soft pastel hues. If you watch the video, the apam turned out very bright. I prefer them to be in a softer shade but hey, whatever rocks your boat!
I have some cupcake liners but I did not have the aluminium casings to put them in and my muffin tin could not fit my steamer so I simply used a small size cupcake souffle liner. I like to use this type of cupcake liner because they stand firm and does not need to be put in a muffin tin. By the way, while you are preparing the batter, you can start boiling the water for the steamer.
Make sure you cover the lid with a clean cloth/muslin so that water doesn't drip onto your apam while steaming. Steam the apam for 7 minutes and once the time is up, carefully transfer them onto a rack to cool.
Close up of the cooked apam. Don't they crack really nicely? And I just love how lovely the colours turn out. The green apam has a tinge of pandan flavour to it. My kids love these apam so this recipe is a keeper. They are really easy to make and can be done in less than 1/2 hour. I packed some to bring to the hospital to visit my niece and left some at home which my kids had on Sunday morning.
For ease of reference and in the event you are not able to click or view the video or have difficulty understanding the Malay language used in the video, I hereby list down the ingredients and the steps.
- 2 eggs
- 200g sugar
- 250g flour (wheat flour/all-purpose flour)
- 1tsp ovalett- you can easily buy this in the baking needs aisle in the supermarket
- 175g or 1 cup soda water
- 1tsp vanilla essence
- 1tsp pandan paste/essence
- 1tsp yam paste/essence
- 1tsp strawberry paste/essence
- 1/2tsp green colouring
- 1/2tsp red colouring
- 1/2tsp purple colouring
- 1/2tsp yellow colouring
- Beat eggs, sugar and ovalett until mixture turns pale white and fluffy.
- Add in flour alternate with soda water.
- Mix well and add vanilla essence.
- Once batter is ready, separate the batter according to your chosen colours/flavourings.
- Add your chosen colours/flavourings to each portion and mix.
- Pour in cupcake liners about 3/4 full so that you get the crack (merekah) effect.
- Steam for 7 minutes.
In case you are wondering, I used this soda water and that is how ovalett looks like.
Happy trying!
Credit goes to the owner of the recipe and the Facebook page for sharing the video.

A confidence crisis & remembering that everything is temporary.
I was comfortable in Liverpool.
I loved the city, I knew where everything was and I had my favourite little spots that were familiar to me. I had a routine that suited me perfectly, I loved my job and I'd gotten to a point where I was so happy and having the best time.
It took me weeks to convince myself that London was the right choice. Everyone around me was telling me that I had to do this and I was just willing one person to tell me to stay and I would've. However, the opportunity was one that even I knew would've been very silly to turn down.
Nothing is permanent.
If there's one thing that the last few months has made me realise though, it's how genuinely wonderful the people in my life are. From the poor friend who gets, and puts up with, my daily 'I can't do this!' phone calls, to the friend who will always take me for coffee and breakfast when she knows I need a pep talk (and gives the best ones!), and the old friend from home reminding me how far I've come and to stop being so hard on myself, my support network is the best.
And the one thing they all keep reminding me of too, is that literally nothing in life is permanent. Things change all of the time, and we also have the ability to change anything that we're not happy with if we want to, too.

2010 Rotary Chalk Festival
Every year the Rotary Club of Orlando holds an annual chalk festival. I usually have two 6th grade groups participating and I tend to work on my own square. If you haven't had the chance to do a chalk drawing, it is an amazing experience that will totally hook you and your students. Though, neither myself or my students won a prize we all had a great time getting messy!
