Once again posting and commenting has ran away from me, but I have a small excuse in that my computer has been down for a few days preventing me from doing so.
My interest in the French and Indian War is twofold in that I both have an interest in the skirmish fighting(little wars)with Indians, Coureurs de Bois etc. and the more formal fighting between the Regulars of the British and French. I'll start with the French and then move on to the British over time.
I would probably have started with the skirmish aspect first, but my friend Mike at http://dreispitz.blogspot.de/ is an absolute fan of the Seven Years War and wants to start gaming Maurice. While I don't much care for the Seven Years War I want to support him so I started the formal French and Indian War battle material first, because the regiments I will be doing while based in North America/Canada for French and Indian War look exactly the same as the ones fighting in Europe. In fact the battalions serving in North America had their parent regiment/HQ stationed in Europe.The figures are from Front Rank and where quite nice miniatures to paint with nicely raised detail and easy access to parts. My critique the poses are bit limited. Typical of French units of the time I went with a light grey and white combination and then added a red which are the regimental colours. I used army painter followed by highlights except the white gaiters were I used no AP on as I like my whites very clean. I didn't save much time with painting as I added so much highlights to the AP that basically it became more another step in painting rather then a complete process. The banners are from the fantastic GMB designs. I also used the same banner design twice as the solid white colonel's colours were left in Europe and never deployed to North America.
I know I swore off AP , but I wanted to try once more and was once again not completely happy, but the washes also don't make me completely happy either.....as both leave a brownish residue in places that I don't like at all so thought why not. While I'm reasonably pleased with the outcome it took too long! To be honest I'm quite frustrated with painting at the moment as I can't seem to find my comfort zone. I'm searching for a way to economically paint my figures, but still have them reach the standards that satisfy me and I just can't seem to find it. I'll have to keep using the same method for the rest of the French Regulars, but on my next project I'll be trying something else out which hopefully will pay off in regards to time in and results both making me happy.
I also had time enough to add both white and scenic backgrounds to cater to preferences. Please forgive all the pics as I get carried away!!
Thanks for viewing!:-)

Arne Naess's statistical approach to philosophy
My article 'The experimental and the empirical: Arne Naess's statistical approach to philosophy' is now published online by the British Journal for the History of Philosophy.
It will be included in a special issue of the journal on Experimental Philosophy and the History of Philosophy. My article considers both the similarities and the differences between Naess's Empirical Semantics from the mid twentieth century, and experimental philosophy of the present day, and reflects on what these might tell us about attitudes to philosophical methodology.
There is a link to my article here, with free access to the full text for the first fifty clicks.

Citizens of Everywhere
My article in the current edition of Babel, The Language Magazine on Susan Stebbing and her relevance to the current social and political climate is now available in full on the blog of the Citizens of Everywhere project, which is led by the Centre for New and International Writing at the University of Liverpool. The article can be found here.
(In Parenthesis)
Over the weekend I was in Durham for a workshop of the (In Parenthesis) project. We had some fascinating discussions about the work of the Oxford philosophers Mary Midgley, Elizabeth Anscombe, Philippa Foot and Iris Murdoch, and about the contribution of women more generally to mid twentieth century philosophy.
Babel, The Language Magazine
The latest issue of Babel, The Language Magazine is out now, and contains some great articles and features.
I have contributed to the regular 'Lives in Language' slot, writing about L. Susan Stebbing. I am struck yet again by the insight and indeed the prescience of her later work on critical thinking. In 1939 Stebbing published Thinking to Some Purpose, motivated by what she described as the 'urgent need for a democratic people to think clearly without the distortions due to unconscious bias and unrecognised ignorance', a need which seems just as pressing now as it did eighty years ago.
George Moore's Acts of Re-writing
I am on research leave from the University of Liverpool for the academic year 2016-17, having completed three years as Head of the Department of English. I am looking forward to developing my work on the Irish novelist George Moore (1852-1933), whose stylistically experimental and influential writing has interested me for many years. In a new book project on 'George Moore's Acts of Re-writing' I am planning to apply pragmatic theory in the neo-Gricean tradition to the study of some of the ways in which Moore revised and republished a number of his major works, years or even decades after they were initially published. The major questions I hope to explore in this project are: firstly, how Moore's specific acts of rewriting shaped and determined his creative output; secondly, how analytical paradigms developed in the discipline of linguistic pragmatics can be used to explain those processes; and thirdly what we can learn from this about the mechanisms and the significance of literary re-writing more generally.

Grice's Centenary
Herbert Paul Grice was born on 15th March 1913 in Harborne, Birmingham. During his lifetime and in the years since his death in 1988 he has had a profound effect on how we understand the nature of meaning and the relationships between language and context. In 2001 Peter Strawson and David Wiggins offered the following assessment of Grice's philosophical legacy:
"Other anglophone philosophers born, like him, in the twentieth century may well have had greater influence and done a larger quantity of work of enduring significance. Few have had the same gift for hitting on ideas that have in their intended uses the appearance of inevitability. None have been cleverer, or shown more ingenuity and persistence in the further developments of such ideas."

We maintain a database of available resources and services for people with or without disabilities in our eight county coverage area (Benton, Dickson, Henry, Houston, Humphreys, Montgomery, Stewart and Weakley Counties). We refer people to these resources as needed.
T.A.R.P advocates on behalf of people with disabilities and encourages them to advocate for themselves on disability related issues.
We celebrate the Americans with Disabilities Act, help inform people with disabilities about their rights, and attempt to educate our elected officials and the community about issues and concerns.
We strive to achieve accessibility and inclusion in all aspects of community life, and encourage compliance with Federal Laws concerning People with disabilities, equal access, and equal opportunity.
Assist consumers in developing the skills needed to live independently as possible. T.A.R.P.'s Independent Living Skills Trainers empower consumers with the knowledge to perform the daily tasks essential for maintaining or obtaining independence. Life skills can include the following: household budgeting and financial management, resume writing, job interviews, job etiquette, personal care, basic cooking skills, navigating through the social services system; problem-solving techniques, understanding reasonable accommodations, assistive technologies .and personal safety. Advocacy (Individual and Systems) — Work to address discrimination issues and promote systems change. T.A.R.P.'s Advocate goals are the empowerment of the disability community and individual consumers through education, outreach, workshops, forums, letter-writing campaigns, and organizing group participation at the local, state and federal levels. T.A.R.P.'s Advocate serves as technical support for eight counties. Advocate is a role that all T.A.R.P. staff play on behalf of any member of the disability community who is facing attitudinal, architectural, or systemic obstacles.
Knowledge is power! Services offered by T.A.R.P. utilizing a vast list of other community resources to assist consumers obtaining needed services. T.A.R.P. staff also performs outreach in the community by participating in expos, disability fairs, and other similar events and serves as a guest speaker on disability issues throughout our service in Benton, Henry, Houston, Humphreys, Montgomery, Stewart, Dickson and Weakley counties, in West Tennessee.
Provide one-to-one informal support and advice. T.A.R.P.'s Peer Counselors provide non-clinical counseling to consumers. They serve as peer mentors by understanding the obstacles faced by people with disabilities and by offering practical solutions.

When I was younger my dream property was always a Georgian rectory. There's something rather satisfying about the proportions: big, square rooms with high ceilings and large windows that allow light to fill them. Nothing much has changed - after flirting with chocolate-box country cottages all summer this fine example of 18th century architecture has stolen my heart. The Old Rectory, in Hilperton village near Trowbridge, is simply divine.
The handsome exterior is complemented by calming, contemporary décor inside, it's a superb example of how to mix modern style with period features. The original flagstone flooring (swoon!), joinery and window shutters have all lovingly been restored to their former glory. The substantial double drawing room is a bright, airy space and features a large fireplace with marble surround.
The kitchen is the epitome of understated elegance: white granite sits atop bespoke shaker style units and stainless steel appliances fit seamlessly in to the scheme. I love the lighting above the central island - a contemporary take on industrial style that is continued in to the dining room.
The stylish refurbishment continues upstairs with the six bedrooms all tastefully decorated in simple neutrals. The master has its own separate dressing room and en-suite.
The property sits in approximately an acre of mature, well maintained gardens and, for the romantics among you, has a beautifully manicured rose garden complete with arbour and box-hedged parterre.
This property has been fully refurbished to an incredibly high spec without being flashy and its classical yet relaxed design means that anyone lucky enough to live here would surely be in seventh heaven.
The Old Rectory is for sale through Cobb Farr for £1.25m

Genesis 1:1 – In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
The Bible opens with this simple yet profound statement. It sets the scene for the whole of human history. The explanation of how everything came to be is found in this verse and this chapter. Yet what is taught in schools, colleges and universities to young people these days is a far cry from this truth.
Be it in schools, colleges, universities or TV documentaries about science and nature, this generation is bombarded with the message of evolution. We are taught that this earth and universe came into being after the 'big bang' and that every living thing we see around us evolved from a 'common ancestor' billions years ago. The very idea that there is a God who created the universe and created man in His image is scoffed at. Christians are made out to be fools, believing some ancient 'fairy tale'. This is the opposite of what the Bible says:
Psalm 53:1 – The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good..
According to this verse, the fools are not the ones who believe the Bible when it says God created the heavens and the earth. The fools are the ones who have said that there is no God. In our society of militant atheism and humanism, there are many people who say this in their hearts and speak it out. They are trying to corrupt our youth into believing the lie that everything created itself and science has ruled out the need for God. If God can be written out of the explanation for how everything came to be, then he can be written out of every area of our lives. We no longer feel personally accountable to him, and so we live our lives accordingly by our own moral standard rather than by God's.
Throughout the Bible we find reference to the Lord creating us, the world and universe that we see around us. The Bible says:
Psalm 19:1-2 – The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
Psalm 33:6-9 – By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
Isaiah 45:18 – For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.
John 1:1-5 – In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.The same was in the beginning with God.All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.In him was life; and the life was the light of men.And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Colossians 1:16 - For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
The complexity of creation shows that there must have been a creator. Have you seen a simple watch? Look at the mechanism inside. Each part has a use, and without even one component the whole watch becomes useless. So then if you found a watch one day, would you assume that it had come together by chance over millions or billions of years? Or would you think that it must have had a creator, someone who designed it and put it together in an intelligent way?
Now look at the human body, which is infinitely more complex than a watch. George Gallup, the famous statistician once said, "I could prove God statistically; take the human body alone, the chances that all of the functions on an individual would just happen is a statistical monstrosity."
The New Atheism
The new atheism in our society is pervading every area of our lives. It aims to remove God and any semblance of him from public view and public life. It uses the law to try to silence Christians and believes that science is the final answer, with man the creator of his own destiny. All of this stems from the belief in evolution, that no God is needed to explain how we got here. Our new God is ourselves – everyone out to please themselves, have a good time without worrying about who gets hurt. The 'law' that these people promote is 'if it feels good, do it'.
This is contrary to the Bible, contrary to the truth. In our generation, even against ridicule, we need to stand up for the truth. We cannot deny our belief in our Creator God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Romans 1:20-23 – For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
This passage from Romans sounds like it was written about the world and society we currently live in. We must stand firm, with Jesus as our rock. Put on the armour of God and fight against the atheistic and humanist philosophies of this world. It all comes back to the first few words in the Bible – 'In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth'. He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. He spoke the first word, and He will have the final say.

Abbeygate Picturehouse
Hatter Street,
Bury St Edmunds,
1 person favorited this theater
The Central Cinema opened on 4th November 1924 with Lois Wilson in "The Covered Wagon". Initially it had a seating capacity of 900 in stalls and circle. There was rear-projection and in the early years the stage was used. The auditorium was built at the rear of existing residential property and the entrance and foyer was through the ground floor of that property. It was independently operated, but came under the control of the Bostock chain before 1930.
It was damaged by a fire on 13th September 1930, and was immediately restored, re-opening on 1st November 1930 with Janet Gaynor in "Sunny Side Up". A new conventional position for the projection box was found above the foyer and the seating capacity was now 660. New owners took over in in the late-1940's and the Central Cinema was closed on 10th October 1959 for re-furbishment. The last films being Mario Lanza in "For the First Time" and George Montgomery in "Watusi".
Re-named Abbygate Cinema, it re-opened on 30th December 1959 with the UK premier of "Please Turn Over" starring Ted Ray, who made a personal appearance, together with other stars of the film; Jean Kent, Leslie Phillips and Joan Sims. The seating capacity had been slightly reduced to 564.
In around 1971, it was taken over by the Star Cinemas chain, based in Leeds. They twinned the auditorium and re-named it Studio 1 & 2, with seating provided for 196 and 117 in the two screens located in the former circle. The former stalls area was converted into a bingo club. Taken over by the Cannon Group in August 1985, the cinema was re-named Cannon, and it was re-furbished in December 1986.
In August 1993 it was re-named MGM, then after a short while became the ABC. Re-furbished again in November 2001, it was re-named Odeon.
The Odeon was closed in November 2005 when the new Cineworld multiplex was about to open, but it was taken over by Hollywood Cinemas and re-opened on the same day as the Cineworld, the 18th November 2005.
Now catering to a family audience and screening 'up-market' films, the town centre location of the Hollywood Cinema makes a good contrast to the new Cineworld.
In March 2010, it was taken over by the Picture House Cinemas chain, and was closed in April for refurbishment, re-opening on 30th April 2010 as an all digital cinema with 3D, and re-named Abbeygate Picturehouse.

|special thanks to my father-in-law John for taking the outdoor shots in Mexico
It all started innocently enough…does anyone remember the Octotunic from a couple years back? I had it in my head that I wanted to make another beachy tunic thing with that pattern (which I had drafted/designed as a maternity top) that could function as both a swim coverup and look good with jeans. Also in the back of my head is this dream of mine to start publishing paper patterns someday and why not bite off way more than you can chew and start with a complicated women's pattern, Rae? Overachievement has always been your cup of tea. {end talking to self} I found this soft white embroidered fabric at JoAnn. For a few minutes I stood conflicted in the aisle, the blogger in me thinking "white is impossible to photograph!" the other part of me going "who CARES? this has to go to Mexico with you!" It had to go to Mexico with me. And thus my coverup was born:
OK. But then there was extra fabric. So I started cutting little sleeves and a teeny little placket and started sewing. The whole time I kept holding it up going "awwwwww!" and feeling pleased with self. There are so many times when I totally wing it and it's a complete disaster. Thank goodness that did not happen this time. I would have cried if this didn't fit her.
|please do not use pictures of Clementine. Thanks!
What do you think? Is the matchy-matchy mother-daughter thing OK or not?

Controlling car brake fade through driving technique
Brake fade and rotor warping can be reduced through proper braking technique; when running down a long downgrade that would require braking simply select a lower gear (for automatic transmissions this may necessitate a brief application of the throttle after selecting the gear).
Also, periodic, rather than continuous application of the brakes will allow them to cool between applications.
Continuous light application of the brakes can be particularly destructive in both wear and adding heat to the brake system.
Finally, new brakes are prone to a phenomenon termed "green fade", where resin on the brake pad evaporates at the high temperatures involved in heavy braking and the resulting pressurised gas forces the brake lining away from the disk, reducing friction

Selma Mohammed, MD, PhD, Brings Scientific Research Interest to her Clinical Practice in Heart Failure
Selma Mohammed, MD, PhD had already discovered a fascination with cardiology since she was a junior medical student. "I was intrigued by cardiovascular physiology," she says. A mentor at Mayo Clinic, where she completed her PhD work, convinced her that the burgeoning field of heart failure medicine needed more scientists to analyze data and study the benefits of newly developed therapies.
"My passion for cardiology grew as I learned more about the endless research opportunities and continued discovery of new and exciting drug and device therapies," she says.
Last October, when Dr. Mohammed joined MedStar Heart & Vascular Institute (MHVI) at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, she came with two goals: treating heart failure and heart transplant patients in the clinic, and generating research to help establish best practices for her patients. "My main research focus is on understanding hemodynamics and vascular changes with heart failure, and mechanisms and therapies for right heart failure," she says. "And MHVI is at the forefront of testing many new therapies that hold potential for these patients."
As a scientific lead for the heart failure research team, Dr. Mohammed is now engaged in several projects that span investigator-initiated studies, multicenter clinical trials and national registries.
"We are also starting a heart failure registry," she says. "While I specialize in advanced heart failure and cardiac transplantation, I also see heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction, infiltrative cardiomyopathies and valvular heart disease." MHVI, she notes, is well known for its excellence in clinical cardiovascular care and is highly ranked at the national level. She says, "What excited me in particular about coming here is the unique clinical research opportunities afforded. MHVI is well-positioned for a leadership role in the research arena because of the vision of the leadership to promote research endeavors; the enthusiasm of the investigators; and the volume and diversity of the patient population we encounter."
Research is needed because change is coming quickly. "Previously," she says, "if a patient was very sick with heart failure, the only option was a heart transplant. Nationally, about 250,000 patients have advanced heart failure, yet only about 2,800 hearts were transplanted in 2015, so having new alternatives for circulatory support like VADs means a big change."
MHVI is now involved in the pivotal MOMENTUM 3 clinical trials, testing two ventricular assist systems for safety and sustainability as long-term support.
In addition, she is applying for grants to study some of the newest medications available for heart failure.
"I think this is a very exciting time for MHVI," she says.

Snow and hail in late April – I stand outside to feel the white flecks of ice fall and watch the tulips nod their forlorn heads at the onslaught.
High above them, the apple blossom is juxtaposed on the darkest grey of storm filled sky. Just those particular shades of pink and grey that complement each other perfectly.
Then, just a few days later, it is May, and with it comes the sun, and the lawnmowers, and the laughter of the neighbours' children on their scooters.
The tulips pose regally, charming all who take the time to admire their velvet buds and blooms.
Noticing these small doses – healing doses – of reality. To capture a shape, or a sound, or a colour that lifts the spirit, if only for a moment.
Hope you are all well, and enjoy some healing moments this coming weekend.

Medical costs to increase by 8% in 2016By Andrew Rickard | January 18 2016 09:44AM
In a new report, Aon Hewitt estimates that the average cost increase for employer-sponsored medical plans in Canada could reach 8% by 2016. This increase will be 6% higher than the projected general inflation rate of 2%, and will represent the largest increase in medical costs that the country has experienced since the mid-2000s.
Worldwide, the increase in costs is expected to be 9.1% in 2016, which is 5.5% higher than the 3.6% average inflation rate anticipated globally. Latin America and the Middle East are expected to see average medical costs increase by more than 10% in 2016, while the trend rates in Europe and North America are expected to be just under 6%. The average trend rates for all regions are expected to exceed the average rate of inflation by at least 4%.
Aon Hewitt's analysis of Canadian extended health care benefit programs suggests that both gross and inflation-adjusted cost increases are expected to significantly outpace the North American average, reversing more recent medical inflation rates that have trended below 3%.
Newly-marketed specialty drugs such as those used to treat Hepatitis C, heart failure, and some kinds of cancer are putting pressure on plans; they are expected to be the main cause behind cost increases in 2016 and beyond.
"We expect medical costs to continue to escalate around the world due to global population aging, overall declining health, poor lifestyle habits particularly in emerging countries, continued cost shifting from social programs and an increase in utilization of employer-sponsored health plans," comments Wil Gaitan, senior vice president and global consulting actuary at Aon Hewitt. "Regardless of the underlying medical insurance system, employers around the world are continuing to experience added organizational cost and lost workforce productivity as a result of these factors."

And if you never have seen "Firefly" - what are you waiting for? Rent it, buy it, support it. I have this dream that we'll get our show back, just like the Trekkies did. At least they got 3 seasons of Classic Trek. We only got half a season.
I'm not moving at full speed today. Full speed, hah. Not even at half speed. Feels like I'm swimming through molasses - every step just taking so much effort. Finally managed to fall asleep and take a nap, which gave me energy for a little while. Now it's worn off again and I'm back in slow motion. Don't know why today should be such an effort, it just is.
On the good side, after my nap I machine sewed on the binding and the sleeve to my Halloween Faces quilt. Now I'm turning under and hand stitching the binding and then I'll do that last stretch of the sleeve and I'm done. Looking forward to that. It'll be ready for tomorrow: the first day of Halloween decorating.
I've been watching the first season of "Lost" - four episodes yesterday and I'm on episode eight right now. Or I was - took a bitty break to write this. Definitely enjoying it, altho why I'm watching a show with so much turbulence and airplane-crashiness I'll never now. I already don't like flying as it is.
I've worked a bit more on the little devil thready as well. He's all outlined now and the edges are all turned under. I've already put his teeth in because they were so small I was afraid they'd disappear before I got to them. It's how the fabric puckers and pulls. Things that I want to emphasize need to have a lot of stitches in them, the earlier the better. So now he has teeth, but the inside of his mouth and tongue have disappeared. Maybe I'll try to force them in before it's too late.
Yesterday I watched "Laurel Canyon" - what a waste that was. Definitely a character study in search of a plot. And I'd prefer an ending next time as well. Also tried "Bride and Prejudice" (I'm a sucker for Jane Austin riffs) but quickly got fed up with the Bollywood singing and dancing numbers. Did make me want to watch my BBC miniseries of "Pride and Prejudice" tho.

Good morning Tonya! My hubby wants to see Serenity, so when he does, I'll tell you if it was good. I didn't know you were afraid of flying as well- I am absolutely petrified of it, which is odd for a girl who grew up as a foreign service brat! (And yet, Lost is my favorite show, pretty much of all time...) Am looking forward to seeing your halloween faces!
- Dawn said...
Oh I love Lost too. The second season has started out so cool and strange!
- dogquilter said...
Hey Tonya,
SciFi has picked up Firefly here in the states. I had no idea it had been on FOX and cancelled and have just started watching it on Fridays before the Stargate, Atlantis and Battlestar Galactica.
LOST should be good this season too. You are right though about not getting tired of watching it. You really do pick up on little things the second time around too.

Schleich - Bashkir Curly Mare
Retired by Schleich in 2017 - Get yours while supplies last!Manufacturer Age Recommendation: 3+ Years
Product Code: SCH13780
The home of the Bashkir Curly is the Russian Bashkortostan. There, the thermometer can fall to icy -40 degrees in the winter. But it is well prepared to deal with the cold, because it has a dense, curly fur and two warm layers of fat. In the barren landscape there is still enough food even under a thick blanket of snow. The Bashkir Curly is famous not only for its robustness; it is also very good-natured and calm. In the USA it has a namesake: the American Bashkir Curly. Its coat is also anti-allergic, dries extremely quickly and smells like lamb's wool.

PASADENA — Alyssa Ramlochan went off in the second half, Taylor Yoshida hit the game-winner and the Occidental women's basketball team was able to overcome a double-digit deficit to beat Caltech 47-45 on Saturday.
With the score tied at 45 and the game clock winding down, Yoshida drove to the middle of the paint, stopped and hit a 13-foot jumper with just .08 seconds left on the clock, sending Oxy's bench into a frenzy and the Tigers into the lead.
Caltech advanced the ball with a timeout and got a reasonable look at a three-pointer, but missed wide right as time expired.
Ramlochan, a sophomore from Los Angeles, scored a game-high 22 points on 10 for 15 shooting, and grabbed seven rebounds. She scored 16 of her points in the second half to help the Tigers erase a 23-12 Beaver lead at halftime.
The Tigers did not shoot the ball well as a group in the first half, going just 5 for 29 from the field and 1 for 12 from beyond the 3-point line.
Mallory North heated up for Oxy in the second half, hitting all three of her three-pointers in the half to put the Tigers in front by as many as eight points. Caltech didn't quit and was able to scrap back into the game after surrendering the lead.
Season Impact: Oxy improves to 6-5 overall and 1-2 in SCIAC play.
Caltech falls to 5-7 and 0-4.
Next Game: The Tigers are back in action on Monday, playing at Pomona-Pitzer at 7:30 p.m. It's a busy stretch for the Tigers as they stay on the road to face Claremont-Mudd-Scripps on Wednesday, before returning home to play Cal Lutheran on Saturday.Follow Oxy Athletics on Twitter Sign Up for Newsletters Watch on Youtube Follow us on Instagram

The Rules of Water Polo - A Brief Guide
By Chris Stephens
The full rules of water polo are long and complicated. This guide covers the main rules of the game as played at club level.
Water polo is all about possession – the team with the ball have the right to try and score a goal. If their opponents stop them unfairly, the referee awards a foul and lets them continue. Once they score a goal or lose possession, the other team get a turn.
Ordinary Fouls
If you do one of these, the referee will blow his whistle and give the other team a free throw.
- Stand, walk or jump off the bottom when playing (okay for the keeper within his 5m area).
- Use two hands to hold or play the ball (okay for the keeper within his 5m area).
- Punch the ball with a clenched fist (okay for the keeper within his 5m area).
- Push an opponent who is not holding the ball.
- Take the ball under water when tackled.
- Hold on to the wall/goalpost or push off from it during play.
- Be within 2m of the opponents' goal ahead of the ball.
- Put the ball out at the side of the pool.
- Delay taking a free throw or take it from the wrong place.
You must take a free throw immediately. If you don't pass the ball, you must either put it on the water or toss it up in the air to show that you're putting it into play. Don't wave it about!
Exclusion Fouls
If you do one of these, the referee will whistle loudly, point to you and signal you out. You must swim back to your re-entry area and get out without interfering with play. Your opponents get a free throw and you have to stay out for 20 seconds of play or until they score a goal. If your team regain possession, the referee can signal you (or a substitute) to get in immediately. If you commit three exclusion and/or penalty fouls during the game, you cannot play any more.
- Hold, sink, pull back or impede an opponent who is not holding the ball.
- Intentionally kick or strike an opponent or splash water in his face.
- Interfere with the taking of a free throw (you must move back before putting a hand up).
- Attempt to block a pass or shot with two hands outside the 5m area.
- Improper re-entry after an exclusion (diving or jumping into the pool or pushing off the wall).
- Misconduct (you will be "wrapped" and cannot play any more).
Penalty Fouls
These result in the other team being awarded a penalty throw at goal. You stay in the pool if you were playing at the time, unless it's your third offence.
- A foul within 5m that prevents a probable goal. This includes holding, sinking, pulling back or impeding; attempting to block a pass or shot with two hands; punching the ball; taking the ball under water when tackled (this can happen if the goalkeeper keeps hold of the ball).
- A defender within 5m kicking or striking an opponent.
- An excluded player intentionally interfering with play (e.g. throwing the ball away).
- Illegal entry (rejoining after your third exclusion foul, or becoming an 8th player in the pool).
- Brutality (you will be "wrapped" and your team have to play man down for 4 minutes).
Other Rules
If the keeper deflects a shot out of play, the attacking team are awarded a corner throw. But if any other defender does this the defending team are awarded a goal throw.
If a defender commits an ordinary foul outside his 5m area, the attacking team can take an immediate direct shot at goal. Goalkeepers – stay awake!

What a wonderful post, Katie!! So encouraging. :) Tonight in Church my teacher was speaking about running the race with perseverance and giving it your all, just like how you said we should "play the game with every ounce of strength we have and not give up until the whistle blows". How neat that the two go together! I am on the LORD's side and I wanna be able to say, "I have nothing left. I gave You my all," when I cross the finish line!ReplyDelete
On another note, I was so pleased to receive your comment! I was just thinking about you when I signed into blogger and saw you had left me a comment. ^_^ I miss you as well!
I am so blessed right now! I've had trouble with minor things (such as my babysitting job) which I have conquered (or am still conquering:) with the help of my Heavenly Father and my family. How are you?
My dad is doing well right now. He has been a bit tired lately and hasn't had much energy, but he is much better than he has been before. :) I'm not sure if you know, but he started a new treatment called Tysabri that he receives every 4 weeks and that is helping his MS! Right now the medicine is starting to wear off, but I think that next week he gets another Tysabri infusion, so that will help!
I haven't been doing much lately. Just my babysitting job, school, chores, Church, family functions and what-not. This Friday I will be going to a Christian Concert with one of my friends, which I am very excited about. :) What have you been up to?
God has been teaching me so much lately! Like patience. lol :D My older sister is being courted by a young man from our Church right now. We're all so happy for them and God has clearly shown us that he is the one for my sister. Everyone is jumping ahead and thinking of marriage, but they've only been courting for a month. lol :D So, that's part of my training in patience. ^_^ The Lord is also teaching me to be patient about my own future, and love. Seeing my sister all giggly and in love has made me want the same thing, but I know that I'm not in the season of life where I'm prepared to be married, therefore I'm not ready for love, so I must wait. Patience is difficult, but it's also a virtue. ;) Has God been teaching you anything lately?
Oh yes! If you could pray that "God would help me be happy and joyful where I am" that would be wonderful! And what I mean by that is, my babysitting job has not been going very well lately. My mom explained to me that sometimes people think that if they're not happy where they are in life that God is trying to tell them to move on. That might be the case with some people, but sometimes where we are is exactly where God wants us. I have been wanting to quit my job, but I know that my parents need the money I bring home and this might be a test I need to go through. Right now I just need to seek God on what He would have me do. :) Also, prayers for my dad are always appreciated!! Is there anything that I can pray about for you, Katie?
I hope you are doing well and that you have a wonderful rest-of-the-week. ;)
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." Hebrews 12:1-3
Wow! A lot of things to think about in this article! Thanks!ReplyDelete
Hey Katie! I know this post is kind of old, but I was just looking over your blog and thought I'd comment anyway. Great message here. It's so hard to keep running sometimes, but that's what we need to do, and Christ will give us strength!ReplyDelete
I'm following! :)

There Are No Fairies in Russian Folk Tales
… and so there are no fairy tales.
Even though you will find them called "Russian Fairy Tales" in the most reputable and scholarly books and libraries, even in some that I use in my courses!
I guess it's a losing battle.
But don't say I didn't warn you.
There are grand tales, however, with male heroes, and with female heroes, and funny tales with animals that talk and behave like humans, or with soldiers who are on the way home from a long service and who encounter good, or sometimes bad fortune.
What is, then, a folktale?
It's a story, first and foremost.
In Russian, it is called SKAZKA. The word is from the same root as the verb "to say" — сказать (skazat'). Therefore it is, quite simply, "that which is told" — a tale. But by implication, it is fiction, not news, something someone came up with.
So entertain yourself with a tale or two (or three). There are notes to each of them to explain the odd turn of phrase or the strange cultural reference. And the Introduction for those wanting to know more about each type of tale.
Feel free to use this material for your classes. I would love to know if you do. Drop me a note.
Feel free to link to this page. I would also love to know if you do. Please remember the author/translator of these pages and attribute properly. That's all I ask.

Combining spacious surroundings and friendly service with stylish entertainment and delicious cuisine, Columbus is the perfect choice for those looking for the ultimate experience and comfort. Offering a wide range of on-board experiences including seven different lounges and bars, two speciality coffee and tea shops, and two deck bars, this ship gives guests ample choice to tailor their leisure time around their preferences. You will never be short of amusement aboard this ship cruise, as our Dome Observatory, Nightclub and Palladium Show Lounge host nightly performances by the talented Columbus show team and renowned guest stars. There is even a large floor for ballroom dancing!
However, she still retains a feel of intimacy and personal attention when compared with the mega resort style cruising lines built today. The spacious surroundings on-board mean that youll always find a quiet retreat where you can put your feet up and simply take in the ocean views. Whether you choose to seek sanctuary with a good book in the library, get creative in the new Crafters Studio, get energised at the fully-equipped gym or unwind with a relaxing massage, me-time doesnt get better than this.
At 63,786 GRT (Gross Registered Tonnage), with a draft of 8.20 metres and overall length of nearly 250 metres, Columbus was purpose-built for deep sea ocean cruising, which we believe makes it ideally suited to the type of exciting scenic cruise programme we operate. She underwent an extensive refit in August 2015 and was upgraded further before the start of her Cruise and Maritime fleet maiden season.
Columbus has 775 passenger cabins including 64 deluxe balcony cabins and junior suites, which have been specially designed for customers who have been requesting more balcony accommodation. Each cabin is fitted with high-quality furnishings and facilities, so you can truly relax at the end of each day of discovery.
At the Waterfront Restaurant you can opt for a full English breakfast, savour a leisurely lunch and enjoy a delightful five course dinner. Breakfasts and lunches are generally served on an open seating basis. However, two fixed time sittings are operated for dinner when your attentive waiting staff will welcome you each evening. Perhaps opt to dine at the Fusion or Grill speciality restaurants or sample the delights of a sumptuous dinner at the Chefs Table. If you prefer something more casual, the Plantation Bistro is open every day for buffet style breakfast, lunches and dinner, and when the weather is fine, the Alfresco Grill beckons.
Lounges & Bars
Columbus offers a choice of seven different lounges and bars including the Captains Club and Casino, Connexions, Raffles and Taverners Pub. There are also two speciality coffee and tea shops plus two deck bars. And, the spacious surroundings on board Columbus mean there is always a quiet corner to relax.
There are six entertainment venues including the impressive three-decked central Atrium, Dome Observatory & Nightclub and two-decked tiered Palladium Show Lounge where the talented Columbus show team and guest acts will perform for your enjoyment. The Palladiums retractable stage provides a large floor for Ballroom dancing.
Other Facilities
The maritime themed Columbus Observation Lounge affords fine ocean views and a place to truly relax with a good book. Trumps & Aces is a new dedicated bridge and card room seating up to 100 guests complimented with a separate Library. A new Crafters Studio will meet the growing demand for arts and crafts.
Work off a few pounds in the fully equipped gym and book yourself in for a relaxing massage or beauty treatment in the well-appointed Jade Wellness Centre. And, for a spot of retail therapy, there is a fine selection of shops at the central Atrium.

South American U22 Championship begins in Colombia
The competition looks exciting for local fans. Colombia coach Mauro Marasciulo unveiled his team's championship expectations: "The team has worked very well, we have a big responsibility to larger rivals such as Brazil, Argentina, Chile. This team is three years into a process, participating in global and major competitons representing our country. It's a young group, which is used to having responsibilities. The court is no longer a place that scares Colombia. Recently at the Pan American Cup, we qualified for the Grand Prix. This is the group's future, and my hope for Colombia is that we will qualify for the World Championship."
Colombia's Maria Margarita Martinez, who was the best outside hitter in the last Pan American Cup, said: "The team is very good, is eager to qualify for the World Championship. We have worked very hard, we know we can expect very difficult games, but we are at home and people will support us a lot. Our aim is to reach the final and why not beat Brazil."
Colombia and their Brazilian coach Marasciulo have been training at the Coliseum Retail Sports Complex in the north of the city.

23/9/2014 – Originally opened as a stall in a coffeeshop at Ang Mo Kio, Chic-a-Boo Fried Chicken, who is also run by Aston's, decided to relocate to the newly opened hillV2 with air-condition, plenty of seatings and NETS top-up facilities.
The Set A ($7.90) consist of 2 pieces of fried chicken (mixing of flavours of fried chickens are allowed; 1 piece of Special and 1 piece of Hot & Spicy fried chicken are chosen), 2 selection of side dishes (sweet potato fries and TCO salad are chosen), 1 corn muffin and a drink of your choice. The Special chicken is the KFC equivalent of the Original chicken, except that the skin is more crispy instead of being salty. The Hot & Spicy is the KFC equivalent of the Crispy chicken, with the former being slightly more spicy. The fried chickens are marinated nicely but are not thorough as some parts are more flavourful than others. The sweet potato fries are normal while the TCO salad has a zesty, tomato and sour taste to it.
Set A – 2pc Chicken with Sweet Potato Fries, TCO Salad, 1pc Corn Muffin and soft drink
The Fish Burger ($4.90) is rather mixed. Despite the fish fillet tasting good and comparable to other fast-food chains offering the same item, the bun leaves much to be desired
Fish Burger
With no other fast-food restaurants within the mall, residents of Hillview now has a fast-food place that is within walking distance from their home. If you are near to Hillview / Bukit Panjang / Bukit Timah / Bukit Batok, why not give Chic-a-Boo a visit?
Food: 6.9/10 (good fast-food)
Ambience: 7.3/10 (nicely decorated)
Comfort: 7.8/10 (ample seating and well spaced)
Service: 7.3/10 (good service)

The new Zodiac watch is interpreted in a round-shaped 52mm case. It is sculptured in matte grey IP-treated stainless steel. The case is water-resistant down to 200 meters. It is offset by a unidirectional rotating divers bezel with a minute graduation. The bezel securely holds a glare-proofed sapphire crystal.
The glass serves to protect a black or grey dial. It is completed with oversized hour-markers and hands, inlaid with white or orange luminescent substance. The display of the new Zodiac Super Seawolf divers watch indicates hours, minutes and seconds as well as a date, arranged at 3 oclock. The functions are adjusted by a massive winding crown at 3 oclock.
The timepiece is powered by a Swiss-made quartz movement. Completing the character of the new Zodiac watch is a stainless steel bracelet or a grey rubber strap.

Yep, with exquisite timing, tomorrow (28th June) is mine and Jenny's Wedding Anniversary! 33 years wed, and proud of it. This auspicious day will be followed by my birthday on 30th June. That will be my 56th, which doesn't sound much, considering I feel more like 156! LOL! Jenny, being the utterly wonderful person that she is, and always loving, braved a journey into the town centre – a place we detest visiting – to obtain my present (which is for both events!): a wireless mini-keyboard and mouse set from Maplins. It's fantastic. No more trailing cables meaning I have to quickly set them aside for people to be able to get past me. They are excellent quality, too – with a protective membrane that lies on top of the keyboard and a tiny usb 'dongle' which can be fitted into the mouse for transport, so it doesn't get lost. But there's a huge downside! Because the ink is extremely low in our printer – I can't print anything out. That means that, not only have I been able to buy Jenny an anniversary gift – I've also failed, for the first time in years, to make her a card. I am extremely unhappy on both counts. I hate myself for it, and for the health problems that have robbed me of the ability to do what's not only right, but what has always been a delight.
Birthday-Wedding Anniversary Combo!

New Mighty Mini Sandwiches
Next month the Arby's chain will make a new three-item line of Mighty Minis sandwiches a local-option LTO for operators in select markets around the country, the company confirmed. The line includes small sandwiches with its signature sliced roast beef or hot turkey in three varieties: Spicy, Crispy Onion and Original. Offered in pairs, the Minis will be priced at two for $2.69
Value-priced mini sandwiches have been around at least since Burger King's introduction of Burger Bundles in 1987 (subsequently tried as BK Minis), and White Castle and Krystal minis go way back, of course. But the mini-burger idea gained new prominence in 2009 when Jack in the Box introduced its Mini Sirloin Burgers (purged from the menu in 2011). Steak 'n Shake was one of several that joined the mini-burger trend, adding Steakburger Shooters (which remain on its menu). The mini-burger fad has since morphed into the popularity of small snack items such as McDonald's Chicken McBites, Sonic's Jumbo Popcorn Chicken
and Burger King's new Loaded Tater Tots.

Well this weekend has been very relaxing. Just as we wanted it to be. Just being home and working on our to do lists and doing things we enjoy.
I have had a list of things I have wanted to cook. Well it's in my sidebar. I fixed meatballs and spaghetti - a crock pot version. I tweaked the recipe a little. I started out sauteing in the pan and then transferred to the crock pot. But it's the first time I made my own meatballs. Next time I do it, I will blend two meats for more flavor. I added seasonings, but it was not quite enough. I will add real parmesan cheese next time instead of the grated version to the meatball itself. And next time I won't need a recipe. ;-) I am now aware of the consistency, so I can make it my own version. But that was on my bucketlist - sortof - to make my own meatballs. It'll be easier next time.
Since our friend Paul's wife was out of town, we invited him and their dog, Albert, to come over. The dogs got along well, and mostly kept separate. Roger did feel the need to "mark" territory to claim space close to George and I. He did this right in front of us. Right between us, as if to say "Albert, stay away, these are my parents, not yours!" Oh, and when Albert first came in, Tugie chased Albert out the front door and out into the yard, which made me nearly run over Paul to get to them. No body else was running after them so I thought I better! It was dark and I didn't want to be searching the neighborhood for our fur babies amidst the skunks and whatever else is out there.
I enjoyed Albert. He's a sweet dog. He let me pet him. He loved for me to get down in the floor at his level. He rolled over and wanted me to pet his tummy. ;-) All dogs love a good tummy rub once they submit and Albert let me know he was cool with that. Here is Albert below.
After dinner, George and Paul were thoroughly entertained by Alexa - or perhaps not as she often did not like their line of questioning. I accused both men of regressing back to their teen years. I realized this morning that I should have moved the spikey plant. lol lol lol. I forgot that the men don't like it.
So sleep was good and Tugie wanted to get up early but it was not as early as yesterday. George took her out again (bless him) and that bought me a few more minutes. He went to bed later than me though. But he stayed in bed for a few hours longer. I got up with Tugie as she was hungry and would not wait any more without growling and barking. I sat and played Tropical Farmville for a long time while I sipped coffee and woke up. I was able to get the helicopter order finished to feed the celebrities on the island. lol
Got the laundry going and ironed up some things again while listening to the audio book, Someday Soon, through Alexa linked to the kindle app. I'm really liking that feature - a lot!
After that, I figured out how to get Alexa to recognize what is on my google app. My techie stuff is so intertwined and linked and it's hard to figure out "which app" is running the show. After some time (several hours) over the last couple of weekends, I have now realized that Alexa will not recognize certain layers on my calendar. She is only going to read the google calendar layer. Just b/c something is visually on my google calendar linked in from another calendar, does not mean she is going to see it. It's only events created in Google calendar that she will see and created in her own app as I can ask her to add things to the calendar. I figured out that when creating an event I have to use either Alexa or the google calendar. In the google app you can actually use icloud to create an event, but I have to make sure I'm using "google" aka my gmail calendar to add the event and not icloud. And that would work. It still showed on all calendars. Yay! My iphone calendar and my google calendar were integrated so if I post one it shows on the other. But I had added the icloud layer to those calendars so that both of those calendars talked to my work calendar as well. (Thus connecting phone, my personal laptop, and work laptop.) Amazing as b/w google and apple - I've been able to make it work for some time. But now I'm adding the 4th party, Alexa? This is crazy isn't it? Alexa is just not wanting to play ball with anyone but the Google calendar. I just like being able to see all things from all places. It really helps to sync my life, and is very efficient. So, the only thing that is not happening is that the work calendar is not coming through to Alexa. And it probably won't. I don't see a way for that to happen. Unless somehow there is a way to import to make it show AS another google calendar. As I get smarter, Alexa will too. But geez. I can see work on my phone though. It's just a thing with me to keep going til it all integrates. But I've gone as far as I can for now. I have what matters and that is good. Usually I don't need to see work til I get to work. I already know I have to be there certain hours anyway so no biggie. I'm thrilled to be able to tell Alexa something and it show on my phone and PC and with her! And that she will recognize the Google calendar. So my work is complete for the weekend. That was my big "to do".
And while testing it, and to AMUSE George, I added "pick boogars at 5:00 a.m. to my google calendar and then tested Alexa to see if she captured it. Much to my delight, when I asked "Alexa what is on my calendar?" She retorted "Here are the first four things on your calendar." And number one was "Pick Boogars at 5:00 a.m.". Buahahha. Yes George laughed and was amused. Now I'll probably have some kindof sinus meds advertising on my PC! hahaha.
Surprising myself, I have also worked on my Recipe Blog on my old sign on's. I was able to figure out that I could "invite myself" (my newer Back Porch Blogger ID) to be an administrator of that Bookncoffee ID blog and I don't have to log in and out of my bookncoffee account. Helloooooooo why did I not think of that before? Makes a world of difference. I've added recipes and fixed up the recipe blog and it's now added to this blog as a page you can visit in the menu bar above. ;-)
I have also watched Nashville show and caught up with that.
The hours just melt into one another when I'm on line doing blog stuff or techie stuff. I can while away a whole day. Soon I'll get my spiritual blog added in. And I'm already getting tired of the graphics on this blog. I changed the background to a "gif" picture. I hope it doesn't take long to load. If it does let me know. I really need something Valentiney, but I'm ready to be off of the blog!
I'm happy that I can do these things while the rest of the world tries to tell each other how to do things and fights over it. We have now reached capacity on opinions and how things can be done. No one is happy b/c everyone cannot have their way. Anyway not going there today. But I'm going to go do something productive - well, maybe.
Ya'll have a great rest of the day!
