The Applied Mathematics major has two concentrations, Data Science and Cryptography. The Data Science concentration presents the principles of data representation, big data management, and statistical modeling. Students learn to use modern computing techniques to reveal hidden causal and temporal relationships within large data sets. Hidden information is often benign but it might also be evidence of malevolent activities that have already occurred or are in progress. Cryptography is the science of both personal and institutional data security. Students learn to secure information, maintain data integrity, authenticity, and non-reputability. Cryptography plays a vital role in detecting events yet to unfold, especially when attempting to interdict and thwart incipient cyber intrusions and terrorist attacks.
Concentration A: Data Science
Use mathematical methods to analyze and recognize the properties of large data sets as well as any anomalies.
Use suitable models such as linear regression, logical regression, to analyze data and predict probability distributions.
Recognize clustering in large data sets and explain its significance.
Concentration B: Cryptography
Use the mathematics upon which specific cryptographic algorithms are based to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of cryptographic schemes.
Guarantee authenticity and integrity of data and ensure that transactions are non-repudiable, when appropriate.
Develop cryptographic algorithms.
Major Requirements
Applied Math Courses That Meet General Education Requirements
Major Advising in Fall/Spring
Major Advising in Summer/Winter
Registration and Major Holds
Sophomores with 45-59 credits may have a hold on their registration. The hold will be removed when they have a major advising appointment with one of the listed Applied Mathematics major advisors. This discussion will encourage wise planning and allow students to ask any questions they may have about the major. How do you know if you have a major hold? Go to CUNYfirst and complete the following steps:
Check the Holds box of your CUNYfirst Student Center. If "Advisement Required" appears, click on "details."
Click on "Advisement Required."
See which type of advisement you need. If you must see a major advisor, then make a major advising appointment following the steps preferred by this department.
Avoid Course Planning Mistakes!
The calculus sequence consists of four 3-credit courses: MAT 241 Calculus I → MAT 242 Calculus II → MAT 243 Calculus III → MAT 244 Calculus IV. It is imperative that you take the placement test for this sequence as early as possible. Based upon your placement criteria, you may be required to take MAT 141 Precalculus before enrolling in MAT 241 Calculus I. Be sure to prioritize these courses and to complete the sequence without interruption in order to graduate on time.
The sophomore programming sequence consists of two 3-credit courses: CSCI 271 Introduction to Computer Science → CSCI 272 Object-Oriented Programming. You must complete these courses by the end of your sophomore year in order to graduate within four years. You may also opt to take these courses during your freshman year. Part time students should also give these courses priority after the calculus sequence in order to complete major requirements in the shortest time frame possible.
Try to complete MAT 204 Discrete Structures within your freshman year and MAT 310 Linear Algebra during the first semester of your sophomore year.
The Applied Mathematics major offers two 12-credit concentrations: Data Science or Cryptography. Each concentration consists of four 3-credit courses. After completing the calculus sequence, the sophomore programming sequence, MAT 204, and MAT 310, students may begin to pursue their concentration.
You will need at least a 2.0 in the major and at least a 2.0 overall GPA to graduate.
Monitor Your Progress in the Major
DegreeWorks degree audit - Use this online planning tool to track your overall progress toward graduation. You will see which of your general education and major requirements are completed, in progress, or still needed. Refer to the DegreeWorks FAQs to better understand how to use this helpful tool.
Applied Math Major Checklist - Fill out this printable worksheet to keep track of which major requirements you have completed and which ones you still need.
See our Sample Four Year Plans for Data Science students beginning with MAT 141, Data Science students beginning with MAT 241, Cryptography students beginning with MAT 141, or Cryptography students beginning with MAT 241. Each sample plan provides an example of how you could complete all your degree requirements (major, general education, electives) and graduate in four years. Remember that each plan shows just one possible way to combine your requirements. Transfer students in particular should work with advisors to determine a plan that works best for them.
Meet with a General Academic Advisor
A General Academic Advisor will confirm what general academic requirements you still need, make suggestions about smart course planning that will help you graduate without delays, discuss your interest in adding a minor or second major, inform you about opportunities such as study abroad, discuss general questions and concerns, and make helpful referrals.

There are a few love affairs on the top tier of enjoyment for me. This is enjoyment in the purest form, even above my love of videogames and zombies. Things like sipping on a micro-brewed beer or a smooth glass of wine, seeing a movie by myself, traveling to places without the distractions of cell phones or multiple travel partners, and food.
I've always said that if I were laid off or fired from my current job, or if Sallie and I were able to un-bury ourselves from my student loan debt enough, I would go back to the restaurant industry where the schedules change and you never get a weekend night or holiday off..
I miss having a constant flow of new and expensive kitchen gadgets at my disposal. The sort of gadgets that have such a niche need, like a lettuce dryer, that only a restaurant can use.
This is either an instrument for holding wood or coring and peeling apples.
I miss the knives, oh god the knives. Once a week, they would be picked up and sharpened and when brought back could slice through metal. It was like getting a Christmas present.
I was quick with the knife. I have more finesse and grace when cutting veggies than I have when walking. I forgot how good I was until last Christmas, Grandma Leonard watched as I sliced a cucumber Rondelle style faster than any food processor could and was impressed. I'm the John Henry of cutting.
You have the butcher knives, the serrated knives, the machetes, and that three foot long cheese knife. That thing was like a Nintendo. Countless people tried to use it to cut the 80lb blocks of Parmesan cheese, but only a few seemed to master it. I was one of those. When my old manager, Tom, wanted to show off skills to the new guy, I was handed that knife like I was being knighted. I'd be able to cut and shred all 200 lbs of cheese and mix them up into a fine parm/romano blend in less than an hour.
Then the new guy would take the knives and use all of his body weight, unable to even break the wax covering on the cheese.
I miss having thousands of ingredients at my fingertips. Alann and I on those idle afternoons, creating monsters in the kitchen like a couple of mad scientists, eventually producing next week's special of the week like the Flaming Mac and Cheese or Spinach Pesto on Bowtie noodles.
The thing I miss most though is the rush. It's a cheap thrill, sort of like an energy drink that doesn't count against your caloric intake for the day.
That ticket machine would start spewing orders out and we would get 15-20 tickets deep. The ticket machine would haunt my dreams some nights, where I would hear that mechanical cranking printing on the carbon paper and sit up in a full on panicked sweat at 3 am, desperately looking for a wok to flip or some veggies to dice.
A large table would come in and throw off our whole system. But it didn't matter because, as any cook or chef can tell you, there's some sort of instinct that governs every movement of the kitchen vet.
Often given less than 15 square feet of kitchen space to maneuver in, 2-4 full grown humans find a way to roll in and out of each other's space, not interrupting the other's work. It's something that clicks in your mind after a few shifts as a line cook. You become aware of your environment. You sense when something changes in it.
If you don't believe me, next time you're in a place with an open kitchen, look at the cooks. None of them are usually discussing what they are making. Usually they are having highly inappropriate idle chat or singing along to the music from the dishwashing station.
You will also notice the body language when someone orders something special, or sends food back, or wants sauce on the side, or the worst punishment known to cooks, a manager tries to step into the kitchen to "help out," all the cooks faces show either intense anger or intense frustration. This is because in my experience, managers are the worst people at cooking.
And my final reason for loving working in the kitchen is my OCD for cleanliness is applauded and not an irritant. Sallie and Cory often reprimand me for not being able to sit on the couch and enjoy a movie when my space is dirty, especially the kitchen. While they are having a drink, I'm usually finding some ridiculous piece of equipment to clean. Something they might have dirtied, but the normal person would never think about cleaning up. That is the mind of the kitchen cook.

Eugene Stoner designed the AR-15 rifle while working for Armalite. The design was sold to Colt in 1959 and the AR-15, designated M-16 by Colt, became the primary infantry weapon for the U.S. Military in 1967. Bushmaster, Olympic Arms and other companies sell civilian versions of the AR-15. Clean the AR-15 after firing, when it gets wet, or twice a year when it hasn't been fired.
Step 1
Disassemble the AR-15. To properly clean the rifle, it must be broken down into its component parts so you can access all parts that need to be cleaned. Separate the lower receiver from the upper receiver. Pull back the charging handle and remove the bolt carrier and bolt. Remove the charging handle and firing pin retaining pin. Push the bolt in and drop the firing pin out of the bolt carrier. Remove the bolt assembly from the carrier. Push out the extractor pin and remove the extractor and the spring. Release the buffer from the retainer and remove it and the action spring.
Step 2
Screw the three sections of the cleaning rod together. Moisten a patch with CLP and place it on the rod tip at the end of the cleaning rod. Swab the inside of the bore with the patch. Screw the bore brush to the end of the cleaning rod and pull the brush through the barrel from the rear to the front. Repeat this six to eight times. Run a moist patch through the barrel again to remove the material the brush has loosened.
Step 3
Dip the chamber brush in CLP and run the brush through the chamber. Rotate the cleaning brush as you push through the chamber to remove built-up powder fouling, corrosion, dirt or rust. Swab the firing chamber with a moistened cotton patch on the tip of the cleaning rod to remove the material the brush has loosened.
Step 4
Wipe carbon and powder residue from the gas tube with the moistened bore cleaning bush. Run a pipe cleaner through the gas tube to clear it and remove build-up. Use the bore cleaning brush and a tooth brush to clean the bolt locking lugs, bolt rings, firing pin and other components of the upper receiver. When finished, wipe all parts dry to remove excess CLP.
Step 5
Wipe dirt from the trigger mechanism with a moistened toothbrush and clean the buffer, buffer tube, and action spring with pipe cleaners dipped in CLP. Wipe all parts dry when finished.
Step 6
Pour three to four drops of CLP on the ejector. Place an empty cartridge case under the lip of the extractor and press down against the ejector. Repeat this motion five to seven times, replacing the CLP as needed. Dry the excess CLP when finished.

Officials with the City of Saint John are preparing for potential effects caused by a powerful storm. The safety of our citizens is our number one priority. City crews have been out checking and clearing inlets and outlets, clearing catch basins, and taking an inventory of signage and barricades. Saint John EMO will monitor and is prepared to respond if necessary. Those who live in low-lying areas that have been prone to flooding are reminded to take extra precautions to protect themselves and their property. Residents should ensure proper drainage around their home by clearing eaves troughs and drainage swales, as well as catch basins or ditches on or near their property. With heavy rains, road conditions can deteriorate quickly and localized flooding can occur. Motorists are asked to drive with extreme caution; observe all barricades, signage and direction from public safety personnel; and avoid driving through flooded areas, whether marked or unmarked, due to unknown depths and hidden hazards such as sink holes and missing man hole covers. Driving through flooded areas can cause damage to homes, businesses and personal property, and can leave drivers and passengers stranded. To prepare for the event of a prolonged power outage, citizens are reminded to have everything they need for at least 72 hours following a storm. This includes preparing an emergency kit for home and car. An emergency kit should include food, water, batteries, a battery-powered radio, first-aid supplies and any special items such as prescriptions, infant formula and equipment for people with disabilities.

$17.95 Handling
Quick Overview
An exploration of the relationship between myth, wilderness, and a life of depth and meaning. A "Culture of Wildness" is possible for a restoration of Soul in our lives.
Martin Shaw's writing rattles the cages of souls. In A Branch from the Lightning Tree, Shaw creates links between the wildness in landscape and language, with myth being the bridge between the two. Shaw uses four great myths from Welsh, Norwegian, Siberian, and Russian territories that explore the process of leaving what is considered safe and predictable and journeying out into wild, uncertain areas of nature and the psyche. Shaw's work focuses on both men and womens movement into wildness as part of the bigger awareness of climate change and ecology. It presents the old stories as keys into any debate on these issues, showing how the ability to think metaphorically and mythologically "re-enchants" our perspectives.
Martin Shaw
A true master. Martin Shaw is one of the very greatest storytellers we have. Shaw presides over an astonishing flow of language. His prose reaches up into the high old areas Joseph Campbell used to do his arm wrestling in, and many of Shaws leaps are absolutely superb. He is talking about experiencing ancient myths in a new way and he does it elegantly. He encourages the teeth of professors to fall out and the teeth of the young to grow. ~ Robert Bly, author of Iron John and winner of the National Book Award
Eloquent and elegant, Shaw offers an irresistible invitation to dive down the rabbit hole into realms that hold the wisdom of, not only survival, but expanding into ones sense of purpose, maturing into the gift of service to the collective. ~ Malidoma P. Somé, teacher and author of Ritual: Power, Healing & Community
This is an astonishing book part memoir, part retelling of old tales, and part courageous delving into the psyches trek from the civilized out into the wild. Shaws inspired writing and, as he says, "wild thinking," come from both inner and outer experiences, from the wealth and daring that a wilderness teacher and storyteller must have. When I finished reading it, I felt I had been given a gift. ~ Gioia Timpanelli, storyteller and Womens National Book Association Award winning author of What Makes A Child Lucky
Shaw is a writer of rare and fierce beauty, and a great enemy of mediocrity, wherever it may hide. A Branch From the Lightning Tree is an oceanic dive into the mythic fire-on myths own terms. The whole book conjures a tale of who we are and where we might be going. ~ Daniel Deardorff, author of The Other Within: The Genius of Deformity in Myth, Culture, and Psyche
This is visceral and imaginative writing. Shaw creates links between the wildness in language and landscape, myth being a bridge between the two. As a book it both nourishes and inspires, superbly placing story in the centre of the challenges of ecology, leadership and climate change. He writes with a poetic flair that gives the book mystery, fire and purpose. This needs to be read! ~ Rosie Boycott, author, former editor of The Independent and Chair of the 2008 Samuel Johnson award for nonfiction
Shaw has so much knowledge and wisdom about the old stories it emanates from his pores. He knows about the mythic trap of eternal youth that is the shadow of rocknroll. He knows why Jim Morrison went down. His prose is voracious it will gobble up the readers psyche and challenge it to change. ~ John Densmore, essayist, best selling author, and founding member of The Doors.

"Rock solid, impenetrable, arid, harsh .......Dust a second skin over everything. This place – painted with a different palette entirely.....green grey hue, white chalk, lime zing, pink pop, orange zest, bible black Dylan Thomas sky dotted with diamond shine. Expanse humbling in its enormity.
Landscape in all its loveliness - with no apology for its rawness.
In contrast the relaxing nature of Los Gázquez (home of Joya: AiR) enabled me to work at my own pace - exploring issues and concepts which considered the boundaries between urban and rural, interior and exterior space. Taking walks each day across the Sierra then returning to translate the visual 'imprints', I worked using both 3 dimensional and collaged elements which collided, contrasted and evolved over the days. The process resulted in various manifestations, excavations and considerations all of it revolved around the collective domestic buzz of the Beckmann household - warm, caring, sociable and intelligently informative.......the work began to emerge with references to the inside versus outside - a subjective versus objective view of my immediate environment.
There have been interesting developments, shifts in ideas, ways of thinking and an emerging dialogue, often the discourse spilling over into the evenings which were spent eating amazing food, gathering around the wood burner in the evenings flopped on large comfortable sofas, enjoying a glass of wine along with my fellow artists. I will treasure my time here.......truly enhanced by the rich, funny and informative experiences of fellow artists Karin, Hillel, Rachel, Mark, Bob and Marion, with much thanks to Simon, Donna, Soli, Sesi and Max the dog for welcoming me into their home and making my time here so pleasurable and constructive. A huge thank you".

We've been recently reminded of this fun and funky Alice in Wonderland wedding which we photographed. As a friend of the couple have contacted us inquiring about us shooting their wedding. Maddie & Joe were such a fun couple. Maddie is a massive Alice in Wonderland fan, so they incorporated some very cool elements throughout their day. Check out the text on the wall, the pocket watch and those lovely 'eat me' cupcake's etc.
They got married on a very sunny day in Eastbourne, Sussex. The ceremony & reception were at The Grand Hotel and afterwards we went for a quick drive and some shots on the south downs near beachy head. It was such a lovely day and we'd like to say a big hello Maddie & Joe and wish them and their family all the best.

Matthew records Jesus' challenge to the religious leaders that the righteousness of God does not come from doing right but being right. To be in a right relationship with God through the forgiveness offered in Jesus Christ, and right relationships with people as peace makers and being pure in thought and action.
These passages cover our ugly characteristics of Anger, Lust, Adultery, Divorce, Dishonesty and Retaliation.
Recognizing the depth of God's great love for us and His ability to work in the midst of our frailty can enable us to count on Him to change our hearts, to have hope that He can transform us to be more like his Son.
We can count on Him to transform our hearts because this is who God is. The gospel is the story of God wooing and loving us, His enemies. He cared for us before we even knew or cared that He existed. Transforming conflict into peace and well-being is at the heart of who He is.
It is God who continually accomplishes the impossible--of enabling us to love, when our natural man only knows anger and division.
Christ has covered only 6 principles here: Do not express hatred for another, but do good to everyone no matter what they did to you. Do nothing sexually immoral. Stay with the one you are married to. Do not break any commitments you make. Do not rebel against any authority, even evil ones.
These are not laws that we can just wake up one day and say, "Well, it's illegal to do this, so I think I'll just stop." Rather, these are laws that must begin to be obeyed in our minds. Our thoughts are what determine what our small, seeming insignificant actions will be. Thus, we must depend on the Spirit of God to obey in this way.

What Viggo Mortensen taught me about blogging/
You know what REALLY makes me happy as a creative person? Getting my inspiration from all sorts of places. I can't just rely on the medium that I am working in for inspiration - it ends up being too limiting. Too much of a closed loop.
If I am looking for photography inspiration, looking only at photographers results in a second-guessing loop where I wonder if any of my ideas are original. Or I doubt that I can create ANYTHING of value.
What I need is creative sources from all sorts of different genres and mediums to inspire. And as you know, one of those is film. Film at TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival). And not JUST the film but the amazing Q&A's AFTER the film.
You see, you get to meet the filmmakers and you hear them speak of their craft. The how's and the why's of what I had just seen.
I heard actor Viggo Mortensen speak after seeing Everybody Has A Plan last month. As soon as he started, I pulled out my journal and pen and madly scribbled notes, hoping that they wouldn't be too cryptic for me to read later. They weren't.
Viggo taught me two things.
1. Prepare for when luck arrives.
I don't care WHAT your medium is - photography, art, music, design, acting - there have been and will ALWAYS be way more people doing it at a high level than there are opportunities.
So prepare. Get your skills up. Take e-courses. Study bloggers who are better writers, better networkers, better photographers. WHY are they better? Learn that. And that other thing too.
Then you WILL be ready.
2. The bigger the budget, the more pressure to appeal to every demographic.
Of course this was in the context of big budget Hollywood films vs. smaller ones. I saw one at TIFF called At Any Price that was SO forumulaic although trying to masquerade as an indie film. You could tick the boxes as you watched - Zac Efron for the younger set. Dennis Quaid for the older set. Romance. Car racing. Fight scenes. It was trying so so very hard to be EVERYTHING for every possible viewer that it had no passion.
Viggo's film? You'll either love it or hate it. It is THAT particular director's vision of THAT particular story.
In blogging terms? How big do YOU want to be? What's YOUR vision for your blog? Who's YOUR ideal audience? Do you like long posts or short ones? Which photographs do you usually pick? What's YOUR style? Who are YOU? Not who you THINK you should be. Who are YOU.
I remember Jasmine Star at Alt Summit last January talking about being so "you" that people will either love you or hate you and nothing in between. Be so YOU that there is no doubt about whether I'll keep reading or not. And those who stick around will REALLY be into what you have to offer.
So there you go - happy to be inspired by other artists and creatives. What do you think about what Viggo had to say? How can you be more YOU? You know, like Gretchen Rubin says in the Happiness Project, "Be Gretchen". And how are you preparing for luck?

I have a confession to make. A terrible confession.
I like Donald Trump.
Oh, I don't support his candidacy and I won't vote for him. I'm not voting for anyone this time around, not even defensively. I have not voted in the last two presidential elections. I don't care about the courts and the machinery of government seems to whirr — even rustily and scleroticly — of its own accord, with little guidance from the actual writers of law or those who concoct policy. I gave up on voting long ago, in part because I believe democracy is a a false and idolatrous religion and voting is its greatest sacrament (the one thing that holds us together), but also because I have lost any faith I might have had in liberal democracy as way of governing. Any form of government needs a functional elite, and Western elites stopped being able to function — to think clearly and act prudently but decisively — some years ago. Any society, even a democratic one, needs confident and capable elites, and ours aren't anymore.
That is another subject for another day. Maybe.
At any rate, Donald Trump. Like many, I thought he was something of a sideshow attraction, a trivial distraction during a long, painful, and very stupid election cycle while the "serious" (sic) candidates sorted themselves out. He would go away eventually, say something so ridiculous that he would alienate the very voters he needed to win anything.
But I have to say, with some amount of awe and admiration, that he hasn't. Mexico sends its rapists and criminals as migrants to the United States. John McCain is not a hero for simply being a prisoner of war. My little cracker. Building a high wall on the border with Mexico and making our southern neighbor pay for it. Keep Muslims out of the United States. I could go on, and every time it seems Trump has gone too far, finally said that one wrong thing, he keeps going, his support undiminished. Even increased.
As someone who was told, by the respectable heads of a deeply respectable institution, that I am not a respectable person and have no place in respectable society (and I have heard some version of this my entire life), to see Donald Trump succeed is … well, gratifying. There is nothing respectable about the man. His tawdry, messy life is an open book, his mouth something of a festering, running sore. He's not much of a thinker. His use of the law to advance his fortune is rather shameless. But honestly, I wish I could live that shamelessly, with that kind of courage, and that kind of persistence, and not have my life and my words constantly held against me. Or not care, because the judgements of gate-keepers don't matter. Trump is poking all of the right people in the eyes for all the right reasons. I don't so much care that he wins, but I am enjoying the spectacle of watching someone live so openly and so honestly. He's coarse and crude, but he appears to make no pretenses. He offends all the right people. He seems to be honest about who he is. That's not the same as speaking the truth — Trump speaks very little of that. But as someone who has lived in a world that has held the fact that I am Charles Featherstone against me, I am in awe.
I wish I could do that. I wish I could get away with it. And succeed as spectacularly as Trump is.
Past that, though, what he actually says resonates with me. Some. Mostly his anger, the anger he channels of people who do not matter, and who know they do not matter, who know the world is increasingly rigged against them.
Immigration, for example. Few people in the United States have probably benefitted from immigration as much as I have. Muslim immigrants from the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia were kind, welcomed me, and taught me how to be Muslim. (Those Muslim immigrants were, as a general rule, far kinder and more welcoming than American Christians.) And I have worked abroad, as migrant labor twice in my life. Yes, it was in a very privileged position as a white westerner in the Middle East (where white westerners are right below the native Arabs on the privilege ladder), but I also spent part of that time working illegally as well. I know what it is to live with the fear that an encounter with the police could lead to an inspection of documents which could lead to arrest, jail, and deportation. And to arrange my life accordingly.
And yet … something about how immigration is handled in the United States has always struck me as odd and left me unsettled. In the 1980s, a number of Central Americans fled wars in their home countries and found sanctuary — frequently aided and abetted by American church people — in the United States. I can understand fleeing the brutality of war, but most of those who fled were on the wrong side of governments (Guatemala and El Salvador) supported and armed by the United States. And it always struck me as strange to flee a government and find sanctuary in the nation … supporting that government. It was akin to finding refuge from the war in Afghanistan or martial law in Poland by moving to the Soviet Union. It may have happened, but I rather doubt it happened very much.
Don't get me wrong. I have always felt far safer in immigrant neighborhoods than I have in all-white or mostly white communities. I like the spaces that immigration has created, especially in big cities. White people, whether middle class or working class, tend to scare me.
But it always struck me there was some other agenda to the immigration. That there still is. I'm not sure what. So immigration — legal, illegal, refugees — makes me uneasy. And I hear, somewhere in the background as I struggle and try to eke out a marginal existence, unable to find meaningful work or care for the people I want to care for — from the advocates for immigration, whether progressive or conservative: "You are privileged, and so you must sacrifice, you must be made to sacrifice. We will take from you and we won't care what becomes of you. Because you no longer matter."
So, as horrific as Trump's pronouncements on immigration are, honestly, they speak to me. They shouldn't, but they do.
Trump channels something — the rage and desperation of a people who know they don't matter anymore. Whose lives and wellbeing have become a blight, an embarrassment, who are now disposable. Yes, they have may been a privileged people once, knowing the order of the world arising from the great struggles of the first half of the 20th century was arranged for them, and may be struggling for privilege again, but they also know politics has told them — economically and socially — "lie down and die." That they are white, and crude, and prone to brutality and violence, frequently not very compassionate or empathetic, all-too-often confused by the world, and that their religion is simplistic and mostly idolatrous, all that makes it hard to sympathize with them. (I find it hard.) But you leave people behind at your peril. You can tell them to "lie down and die," and some will. But many won't.
And if there are enough of them, well…
I think Trump supporters get there is no longer a common social good which includes them. They no longer live in America that values them. (I know I don't.) I've said before in this blog I do not believe in the common good. I don't. Instead, what I see is a rhetorical trick on the part of the powerful to make the powerless pay the price for something they did not necessarily want or support while the powerful walk away with all the benefits, having made no sacrifices of their own. Common good is "watch the birdie" language. It's empty and hollow, the calming words to disarm before the looting and the beating.
Trump says he can will us into a better world. I doubt that very much. Instead, his is the last gasp of a people losing their position and their place in a society where they will soon be only a plurality. And then just one more minority. Demographic change in America is a slow motion civil war, and Americans are trying to do something I'm not sure human beings have ever done without violent struggle — rewrite the rules of society to change who benefits, and elevate those who were and are on the wrong side of the rule. Maybe it can be done. That it hasn't, though, suggests it cannot be done. Like any war between peoples over a slab of shared land, there will be little mercy shown and little magnanimity when the conflict is over.
"Lie down and die." We will surely die. But we don't have to be silent about it.
Donald Trump reminds me a lot of the late Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez, a fantastic spectacle who represented, for the first time in that country's history, the majority population of his country. He too enjoyed poking enemies in the eyes with a big, sharp stick — his country's immigrant-descended commercial and social elites, the United States, ExxonMobil. And watching Chavez at work was truly entertaining. He made all the right enemies, and he was fun to watch.
But he ruined his country, and his successor Nicolas Maduro presides over the rotting and collapsing remains of Chavez's deeply fraudulent "Bolivarian Revolution" in a country plagued by shortages and violence.
Would Trump ruin America? America is already on the way to ruin, and I suspect ruin is inescapable, written into the very things that make us successful. One of the lessons I draw from the biblical story of Israel is that the very things which made David and Solomon's kingdom powerful and important — wealth, the army, and the opulence of Solomon's court — also set in motion the ruin of the state. The court and the army were costly, which led to rebellion and apostasy and idolatry. What lifts us up also brings us down. History doesn't have laws but it does have patterns, because human beings haven't changed much in 10,000 years of nation-making and storytelling. No state, no empire, no people is permanent. No wealth is so secure that it can squandered without care, or that it can be successfully shepherded without considering how it is made in the first place. No order is so stable that it can have a foundation yanked out from under it so it can be entirely rebuilt while it still stands.
Folly, however, is permanent. As is humanity. What will become of Donald Trump, I do not know. We still have a full and busy primary season in front of us, and anything could happen. Right now, I will not vote for Trump and I won't even support him.
But I could. I really could. Which is more than I can say about any of the other candidates.

Short hop laser
The short hop laser (also known as short hop blaster, abbreviated respectively to SHL and SHB) is a technique usually performed by short hopping with Fox or Falco, using their blaster to shoot a laser, and fastfalling. The technique has two additional variants; the short hop double laser (SHDL) and the short hop triple laser (SHTL), for which two and three lasers respectively are shot during the short hop and no fastfall is performed. The SHL techniques were first utilised in Super Smash Bros. Melee, and have since carried into Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Kirby can also perform some of these techniques, by copying Fox and Falco's blaster abilities using Inhale.
In Super Smash Bros.[edit]
In the original Super Smash Bros., Fox can perform a short hop laser and short hop double lasers. Both techniques are very effective, as the blaster's hitstun damage can stop opponent approaches and can deal damage while camping. It's usually better for Fox to shoot his lasers while short hopping instead of shooting from the ground as he can shoot and draw out his blaster more quickly in addition to avoiding ending lag. Due to his camping techniques such as short hop laser, Fox is considered one of the best characters on Hyrule Castle in Smash 64 competitive play, which gives him better matchups against characters who lack projectiles and/or ways to deal with them, such as Captain Falcon. One of the main reasons Fox and his matchups are considered worse on Dream Land is because there is less space to laser camp.
Along with Fox, Kirby can also perform short hop lasers if Kirby uses Inhale. However, Kirby can also short hop triple laser due to floatiness. This is a very lethal ability as these lasers combined can do up to 19% damage if all 3 hit and Kirby can get a free up smash or pivot up tilt out of it up close. This is also a common idea in doubles, especially if Hyrule Castle is allowed.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]
In Melee, Fox can short hop laser and short hop double laser. Both techniques are used to camp and "tack on" small amounts of damage, but are much less effective at stopping approaches, due to the lack of hitstun that Fox's lasers deal. Fox's short hop laser and short hop double laser are considered more safe and flexible than shooting lasers from the ground, for a number of reasons. Short hops can be maneuvered toward or away from the opponent, and the lag caused by landing takes less time than that which occurs during a grounded blaster's ending lag.
Falco can short hop laser and fast fall while doing so, allowing him to quickly dash after firing a laser, meaning it can stun the opponent and allow him to followup with a grab, shine, or other combo starter. His short hop laser is used to camp and disrupt opponents' ground movement and approaches. Continuous strings of Falco's short hop lasers are faster to execute than continuous grounded lasers.
Kirby can short hop triple laser after copying Fox, and short hop double laser after copying Falco, due to his higher short hop height and drastically slower falling speed.
Moving and weaving[edit]
Fox and Falco are able to cover horizontal distance while airborne during the short hop laser and, in Fox's case, the short hop double laser. By pushing the control stick left or right shortly after tapping B, Fox and Falco can move forward or backward after firing a laser. With Fox, B can be pressed a second time during the control stick movement, in order to fire a second laser and perform a moving short hop double laser. While this technique allows for horizontal aerial movement, it prevents players from fastfalling; slowing the speed at which they return to the ground. The moving short hop laser and short hop double laser can be used to approach and retreat while shooting lasers at an opponent, and is often more effective for this purpose than a still short hop laser and short hop double laser combined with ground movement. The technique can also be used to move swiftly in and out of an opponent's attack range while damaging them, a technique known as weaving.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]
In Brawl, Fox can short hop laser and short hop double laser, the practical uses of which are very similar to those in Melee. Notably, if Kirby copies Fox's Blaster, he can short hop triple laser, being able to fire the third laser before landing. The reason Fox cannot do this is because of his very high falling speed acceleration.
Falco can short hop laser and short hop double laser, the use of which to camp and combo out of is considered a staple of his competitive metagame. If the special move button is pressed twice quickly, the two lasers will be fired at a near-identical height, though it is possible to fire the second laser later in the short hop animation. Firing a laser just before landing won't produce the blaster SFX, and is referred to as silent lasering. It is not possible to silent laser in a SHDL, due to the animation of Falco putting his blaster away occurring too early after firing the first laser.
Wolf can short hop laser, but since his blaster has a high amount of ending lag, he lands before it ends. B reversing short hop laser is a common Wolf technique. Wolf's SHL can be used as a followup to his neutral attack combo at higher percentages. If Kirby copies Wolf's Blaster, he will be able to SHL without landing before the animation ends.
In Super Smash Bros. 4[edit]
In Super Smash Bros. 4, while both Fox and Falco can still perform the short hop laser and short hop double laser, the viability of the technique is much lower due to Fox and Falco's lasers now having landing lag. Due to this, the technique is not used nearly as commonly. In Falco's case, the ineffectiveness of this technique has significantly impacted his viability, as he has lost the most pivotal option in his neutral and approach games. His blaster shots no longer auto-cancel, travel a shorter distance, and are much slower. Falco's tournament viability is thus far worse than in previous games.
While Fox is also adversely affected by these changes, they have not nearly had as much of an impact on his play style, and even with such nerfs, he is considered more viable than he was in Brawl. His Blaster is still a crucial aspect of his neutral game, as his lasers are much faster than Falco's and are thus more useful in forcing approaches.

I checked out the base chicken sandwich at Sonic the other day. On the menu this is just called the Classic Chicken Sandwich, grilled variety. It was pretty much your basic fast food chicken sandwich from a restaurant that specializes in burgers:
The chicken sandwich is no frills. It is delivered on a nice Cibatta bun but is otherwise plainly adorned with mayo, lettuce and tomato. The chicken breast itself is unappetizing when examined naked. The entire sandwich is dry and blah. Very much like the McDonald's chicken sandwich reviewed here and here.
But for whatever reason, Sonic's chicken entry does not come with cheese or bacon. This makes the entire sandwich seem even more plain and the chicken just that much more lonely.
I recommend Sonic for the burgers, or the hot dogs. And of course for the tots. But skip the chicken until they come up with something better.
BurgerFi is a relatively new chain of premium burger restaurants in the southern and northeastern U.S. The chain launched in Delray Beach, FL and is rapidly spreading across the country with stores marked as "coming soon" as far west as Arizona and California. We'll be adding BurgerFi to the official roster of restaurants we track on Fast Food Source in the coming weeks, but first let's talk about the food.
BurgerFi's claim to fame is all natural burgers. The name comes from their slogan "Burgerfication of the Nation®" but, deep down, I suspect they went to GoDaddy and searched for a domain name starting with the word "burger" that was available. BurgerFi is a strange name for a restaurant.
The burger, however, is very good. Constructed from the top-down with condiments riding above the meat and cheese, you truly taste the salty, cheesy double patties of the default Burgerfi Cheeseburger in your first bite. Lettuce, tomato and BurgerFi sauce (a standard 1000 Island spread) mate well. The meat-on-the-bottom construction with no spread on the heel bumps the meat:condiment ratio to about 1.25:1 in my estimation. Great if you have a craving for meat first in a burger but don't want an overwhelming gi-hug-o monster burger. This one is just right. And that unique branding of the crown adds a really classy literal signature to their sandwich. Nice.
The BurgerFi side items are generously-sliced fries and mega-sized onion rings. The fries were crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside and reminded me of Five Guys. The onion rings are big but thin, meaning a lot of batter to every bite. BurgerFi offers a not-so-secret menu (it's in their printed menu so how secret can it be?) that includes variations on the burger and fries akin to the In-N-Out secret menu.
Overall, I found my visit to BurgerFi (I went to the Lake Mary FL store) pleasant and enjoyable. I think there's room for more gourmet premium burger chains and BurgerFi is a welcome addition. It will be interesting to watch them grow and see how far they can get in size and scope in the coming years.
A Lenten menu item for you: the Arby's Fish Sandwich. Most people probably don't think about fish when they're "thinkin' Arby's". Well, here is why:
A basic, fried giant fish stick on a bun. My wife tried this, as I am not a fish fan. She said it was ok, a little salty. The sauce is creamy and the overall sandwich was tangy and tasty like a fried fish sandwich should be.
The Arby's French Dip & Swiss has been around for years. Served on a nice hoagie-style bun and accompanied by a hot cup of au jus, this is a great alternative lunch choice for burger fans looking for an anti-burger.
Like the Reuben, the sandwich comes in a regular size and a version with double meat. However, Arby's was promoting 33% more meat on the regular sandwich, so it makes you wonder how thin the sandwich was to begin with.
As you can see, the regular sandwich is meaty, cheesy and mouth-watering (thanks to the aforementioned au jus dip). I had no trouble managing this sandwich as a base meal item. It's neither too big nor too small. I found it satisfying and tasty, the way I expect Arby's roast beef to taste. I wonder if I could get the dip with any sandwich. The Beef N' Cheddar would probably taste awesome with it.

Sorry Jared, Subway seems bent on going outside of the healthy kick that made you famous. Case in point, the crazy Fritos Chicken Enchilada Sandwich and the delectable Big Hot Pastrami Melt.
Just like any other Subway sandwich, the Pastrami Melt is served up on your choice of bread and your choice of 6" or foot long. The former will set you back about $5.50 while the latter $8.50. Both are totally worth it. The sandwich has a decent amount of quite flavorful pastrami with just the right amount of fat. Loaded up on an Italian roll with the requisite mustard, Swiss cheese and pickles, and you have a fantastic lunch.
There it is, in all its meaty, fatty glory. This is a specialty sandwich, for a limited time, which means your mileage may vary when seeking out the Hot Pastrami Melt at your local store. But if you come across it, check it out. It's well worth it.

So, let me just start off with a hi!
How was your new years?
So this year, I have a few resolutions. And one of the questions I get asked most is, "how's the wedding planning going?"
But first, let me start with my finds and the best boots ever!
This turtleneck and this skirt are both from Hollister. "What, really?!"
Yes, Hollister have changed up their game and are bringing in some super cute things.
This faux leather skirt is so cute, and makes such a great match with this striped comfy turtleneck.
But what I'm totally in love with are these boots.
The Highland Stuart Weitzman boots have been smashing it out there, the must-have boots of the season. I've always wanted them because they looked like they fit like a glove!
Oh my word, and they so do!
My fiancé surprised me with them this Christmas, and boy was I grateful!
They fit like a glove, the packaging is great, and the suede and the insides are on point.
They are comfortable enough to wear for a lot of the day!
If you're on more of a budget and are looking for an alternative that you don't have to hike up ALL THE TIME like most on the market, then here's some from SpyLoveBuy for you. They are so great, and fit great as well! I have a pair in grey.
So 2016!
Does anyone ever stick out the new years resolutions?
This is the thing, I'm not having a new years resolution, I'm having a wedding resolution.
And a honeymoon resolution.
And a married life resolution.
So basically, I'm having a life resolution!
With our wedding fast approaching, I've realised there are some things I want to get ready so that when I look back I'll know I've tried my best.
I have four main ones. I want to start having an actual cleansing, toning, and moisturing skin routine because let's face it sometimes I get lazy and don't feel like doing that. I want to start glowing.
I'm also starting to juice more often. If you don't have a juicer, I recommend you get one. You get all your 5 a days in a couple of juices a day, your skin starts glowing, your hair gets thicker and your nails break less, and your whole body just feels nourished. I'll probably do a blog post about the benefits of juicing and different juices at some point in the next few months.
I'm actually going to work out more often! Working out is so great but sometimes I get lazy or I just get so busy that I can't be bothered to take out a spare 15-30 minutes to work out. I want to make it a habit to work out 3 times a week, maybe I'll do a 3 min gym video for you guys to use in your busy schedules!
Finally, I want to keep following my dreams. Sometimes life gets so busy, but I believe that God put me here on earth for a reason and sometimes I'm really fearful which stops me as well, but I want to put the hard work and commitment and fearlessness into what I'm passionate about.
Anyways, wow, SO much writing! Ha.
Wedding planning is going great, I'm going to try on dresses soon and I'm so excited! I'll be doing some wedding planning blog posts, with some inspiration that I'm taking.
Thank you Sarah for my AMAZING wedding planner. It is SO helpful!
That's it for now,
Love you all,
Romans 15:13
"I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit."

Thunderstorms that threatened the North Island earlier today have come to nothing, with just a few lightning strikes up north and in the western Waikato.
MetService said earlier it was possible thundery downpours laced with large hailstones could batter Waikato to Northland across the day, with rain bringing potential flash flooding.
It was set to be the second day of violent thunderstorms after Tuesday saw potentially deadly cloud-to-ground lightning strikes from Whangarei to Waikato.
People were warned to stay inside and keep off the water as more than 600 bolts relentlessly rained down along with hail and driving rain.
But most of today's thunderstorms hit west of Waikato and off the west coast of Northland. A few lightning strikes have also hit near the Kaipara Harbour, MetService meteorologist Peter Little said.
"Yesterday there were very light easterly and westerly breezes on either side of Northland and Auckland which converged, providing a trigger or the uplift to get those thunderstorms going.
"Today the easterly flow was stronger so most of the action was pushed further to the west."
A few thunderclaps and flashes of lightning have hit in the last hour over Waitomo but the trend is very western and drifting out toward the Tasman Sea, Little said.
While the risk of thunderstorms has lowered heavy bursts of rain are still possible tonight.
"We've had heavy showers around southern Auckland and across the Waikato, and up in Northland. There will be some showers over parts of Northland this evening but further south it's an easing trend."
Tomorrow the thunderstorm risk increases again but this time for the central North Island, Little said.
"The sea breezes will push in from the west and meet a light southerly flow which will help the thunder get going.
"We expect thunderstorms from late morning into afternoon - about as far south as
northern Manawatu. There's still a low risk for Auckland and Northland - I wouldn't completely discount some thunder - but again the easterlies up there should make it harder for thunderstorms to form."
Small tornado seen over Auckland
This morning a small tornado was spotted in the sky above an Auckland seaside suburb.
The funnel cloud was spotted spiralling from menacingly dark clouds over Auckland's North Shore.
North Shore resident Jon Bowden was walking his dog on Castor Bay beach this morning when he noticed the twister form in clouds and travel down a street back from the waterfront.
"I was down at the beach walking the dog when I saw the spout come over," said Bowden.
"At first I thought it was a dark cloud but then it had the distinct funnel shape."
He said he watched it move away from him and skirt down a nearby street.
Bowden said it hung in the sky hovering threateningly close to homes for a minute before it quickly dissipated into thin air.
He was unsure if it touched down.
Best said the conditions were ripe for funnel clouds given today's level of instability but the one seen this morning, while impressive, was harmless.

What is GCSP's Role at Olin?
The Grand Challenges Scholar's Program (GCSP) was founded on 5 pillars which together form a holistic engineering education. Many schools have implemented specific structures to aid their Grand Challenges Scholars in addressing these pillars, but Olin's learning continuum already addresses these pillars, sometimes implicitly and sometimes explicitly.
At Olin, we try to give students the space to find passion in what they do. Intrinsic motivation is key; we want every student here to be learning for their own benefit, rather than because of some external motivator. Our Grand Challenges Scholars Program here looks to take that passion and help it grow, guiding each student through their individual journey to find their place in our global society. Thus, Olin's GCSP is designed to get students thinking explicitly about how they address each of the 5 pillars and how that relates to the good they are working to accomplish in the world. We have activities in place which help to round out a scholar's experience a bit more, making their engagement with the pillars clearer. And at the end of it all, each scholar completes a reflective portfolio which ties together everything they have done at Olin which made them a GCSP scholar.

Citi Economist Willem Buiter Says It Might Be Time to Abolish Cash →
It is nice to see Willem Buiter's insights in the news. From an academic perspective, my work on eliminating the zero lower bound is all footnotes on what Willem Buiter laid out. As my brother and I said in our column yesterday, my role is to work out the nuts and bolts of how central banks can do it, so that it is possible to eliminate the zero lower bound next month rather than a few decades from now.

Good news looms on the horizon for local aficionados of pre-summer music festivals, as well as those who like to see Colorado acts receive some well-deserved recognition. Pabst Blue Ribbon is no longer merely the beer of choice for thrifty hipsters, 1960s steel mill workers, and Blue Velvet's psychopathic antagonist Frank Booth. Now it's also the primary sponsor for Project Pabst, a brand new music festival that hits Denver on Saturday, May 21.
The one-day festival, which will be held on two outdoor stages on the same block as the Larimer Lounge, boasts a lineup that's a downright embarrassment of riches. Headlining the festival is fiery, Denver-based roots-soul act Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, who are currently busy making national waves at an array of festivals, on major network talk shows, and — quite noticeably — in their gutsy, a capella performance of the national anthem during a Denver Broncos game against the Cincinnati Bengals in late December.
Among those joining Rateliff and company are Australian critics' darling Courtney Barnett, the newly reconstituted Violent Femmes, acclaimed Mississippi-born emcee Big K.R.I.T., Atlanta alt-rockers The Coathangers, beloved sludge/prog metal act Baroness, and blistering neosoul show band Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaires, who nigh on demolished the stage with their high-octane set at Bristol's Freewheelin' Music Fest last year.
In addition to the main acts, Project Pabst will also present shows the preceding Friday, May 20, including peerless live act Rocket From the Crypt, Pentagram and Red Fang. Regardless of how you feel about Project Pabst's unicorn mascot, which bears a striking resemblance to the horrifying Denver International Airport "Blucifer" horse statue, the lineup is essentially faultless and offers an excellent opportunity to get a better look at some highly esteemed artists. Find more information at denver.projectpabst.com.
In the meantime, however, here's a spotlight on some notable local music opportunities this week:
At the Black Sheep on March 9, you can relive the heady, heavily abbreviated, early-2000s heyday of nu-metal with triple-platinum Christian metal band P.O.D. and rapcore outfit Hed PE, joined by fellow metal/hardcore act War of Ages.
The following night, March 10, long-running California punk band Channel 3 hits the Black Sheep stage with locals Shiii Whaaa in support.
Friday, March 11, brings Hawaiian ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro, known for his sophisticated classical and flamenco-inspired arrangements, to Stargazers Theatre.
The same evening, if you find yourself more in a doom metal state of mind, Olympia, Washington, ensembles Eos and Eigenlicht, Denver act Matriarch, and locals Blighter have you covered at the Flux Capacitor.
Local alt-rock favorites Weathervein and A Bad Night for a Hero also take the stage at the Black Sheep on March 11, joined by Denver singer-songwriter Arwen.
Also on March 12, Seattle rock quintet Hey Marseilles appears at Ivywild School, while post-grunge act Shinedown and The Virginmarys play the City Auditorium.
Finally, on a more somber note, fellow musicians and friends mourn yet another Colorado talent, Salem Spade's lead vocalist John Secrest, who passed away in late February. While Salem Spade was largely associated with Denver, the progressive metal band, which reformed in 2011 following the reissue of their late-'80s recordings on Steel Legacy Records, enjoyed a healthy national following and had strong ties to the Colorado Springs music scene. A memorial fund to benefit Secrest's family is available at gofundme.com/45q7g538.

First off, a massive Merry Christmas to you all and a Happy New Year. This is my last post before Christmas on Over Heaven's Hill as I have decided to take a well deserved break away from all things Blog including Social Media over the Holidays. In my six months of blogging, this is the first holiday I've given myself and I'll be honest I need it to refresh and regroup. It's been an exhausting Winter, but I'm really looking forward to settling down with some good movies, a box of roses and my family over the next couple of weeks. I wish every single one of you a very Merry Christmas and I hope you all make some beautiful memories this season.
I'm looking forward to 2017 for some obvious and not so obvious reasons. Little Bean should be ready to pop mid May, meaning maternity leave will arrive and all the wonders that come with being a temporary Stay at Home Mum. A will be starting Montessori which is exciting, terrifying and heartbreaking all at the same time but those few hours in the morning will hopefully give me some time to focus on Little Bean and if possible, on some blog admin. I'm determined to make Over Heaven's Hill bigger and better in 2017.
I've a few ideas up my sleeve on where I want to take my blog and my writing career. I jumped into blogging without knowing a single thing about how or why to blog. The past seven months have taught me a hell of a lot. While the blogging world is big and scary, I'm more determined than ever.
The biggest thing I've discovered about blogging is how much time and energy it sucks from your daily life. There is quite a lot involved in creating a single blog post which you may not realise:
Firstly, it has to be written and researched if necessary. As writers, we need to be aware of things like sentence length, paragraph size, and making the post easy to read overall.
Then you must edit. God forbid grammar and spelling mistakes are littered throughout.
Images and photos must be sourced, edited if necessary and added to the post. I'll admit, I probably should spend more time on this but sheesh who has the time?
SEO keywords must be included – so search engines can find you. Why write if no one knows you've written? Focus Keywords, Descriptions, URL edits are little itty bitty things we also have to consider to get our posts seen on the Interweb.
Promote, promote, promote and out it goes into the world of social media
Responding to comments on the blog post and on social media. This is one of my favourite parts because it connects me with you. So please do comment if you get a chance. I love to hear from you.
All in all, this amounts to quite a bit of time. Time, time, time. Or lack there of. I've been called a "prolific blogger" in the past by more than one person, because I churn out four to five posts a week.
Well, I'll admit, I suffered because of this. Blogging coupled with early pregnancy exhausted me and here I am, all worn out.
Slow Blogging
My solution to this for 2017, is to take heed of the slow blogging movement. Slow Blogging is a wee bit too slow for me, but I will take on some of the concepts and ease up a bit, allowing myself more time to focus on the blog and myself at the same time.
Slow Blogging is not new. In fact, it goes righ back to 2006. The aim is quality over quantity. There are tons of posts on it by bloggers who have jumped onboard and have found their feet with their own blogs by refocusing and slowing down.
Taking this into consideration, I am refocusing and remodelling Over Heaven's Hill in a manner to suit me, my writing style, my experiences and you, my readers.
From January, a few little tweaks to the blog will include:
In Conversation With
My popular series, In Conversation With, will be back in the New Year with a new twist and questions. I had debated about whether to continue the series or not but it's been so popular and I already have a number of mums looking to join in. Instead of weekly however, In Conversation With, will be published every two weeks.
Sunday Sit Down
I have pretty much gone through my archive of short stories and poetry here on Over Heaven's Hill so Sunday Sit Down will have to take on a new form in January. In other words, I'll have to get my pen and paper out and write some fresh prose!
When I ran a writer's group in my home town, we always began our meetings with an excercise which focused on a simple writing prompt. It was a way to loosen the creative mind by focusing quickly, for ten or fifteen minutes on a specific word, phrase or idea.
My plan is to write a piece based on a writing prompt and at the end give the writing prompt for the following Sunday Sit Down so that anyone who wants to join in can!
Sunday Sit Down, will also be fortnightly, giving anyone who wants to take part in the flash fiction prompts two weeks to get a quick piece written.
Becoming the New Me through Parenting
And of course, the guts and glory of my blog will be my mothering, parenting and personal posts on this life of Being Momma Bear. These are the posts that mean the most to me. The posts that resonate most with you. The posts I truly want to share with you. Being a parent isn't easy, but it's helpful to know that someone has been there or is right there where you are. As I've always said:
"Parenting is a learning curve. There is no handbook and you get by with no training. No matter how much you read, how much you're told, it's never what you expect."
Social Social Social
Yikes, I've been waning a lot on the social media side of things lately. Its so very time consuming. Initially, I loved Twitter and spent most of my time there but since my time on Bed Rest, Twitter has zipped on past me and I feel swamped with how fast it really is. I've crawled back into my comfort blanket of Facebook. I'm also on Instagram, every now and again, when I remember I'm up there too! I'd love you to join me on any of my social media platforms 🙂
So, the blog will be the same but more focused! I'm hoping that helps me to concentrate on other writing projects I have in store and I hope it helps me to grow as a writer and a Momma. After all, this year, before the Summer is even here, Little Bean will arrive to make my life even more interesting!
I'll be back in January. I hope to see you in the New Year!

Just trust me on this.
You see, today I'm going to recap another part of my Europe trip, and this one was truly an Impressions de France IRL experience!
We were in the Loire Valley, on a quest to see some truly epic castles. The day before we had visited Chenonceau, the castle on the river, and we had spent the morning doing some shopping. Now we were ready to get back to chateaux, and first on the list was CHAMBORD.
So in the Impressions de France movie at Epcot (bear with me here if you're not a Disney person ), there's this INCREDIBLE shot were the camera flies over a HUGE castle that looks like its covered in pastries, that's how intricate all the towers on the roof are. (The harp concerto by Boieldieu that you're presumably listening to right now is playing during this part of the movie.) If you look closely, as the camera passes over the chateau, there are people wandering around on the roof.
Well, guess what.
Yes, that's a rooftop believe it or not. I was on cloud nine.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. We met our tour van on time at the Tourist Office. Soon were zooming through the French countryside!
We were travelling along the highway, and every five minutes you'd spot a castle off in the distance. You know. No big deal.
Some quick travel info for anybody who might be interested in visiting Chambord themselves. Feel free to skip this bit if you want to go straight to the pictures. ;) There are some castles in the Loire Valley that you can reach by train, but there are others that you can only reach by road. Since buses (mostly) only run in the summer months and renting a car wasn't an option for us, we ended up booking a tour.
I had been hoping we could rent bikes and bike to Chambord from the nearby town of Blois - it's an hour and a half ride and sounds like it must be beautiful. But sadly we could not find an open bike shop. They were all either closed for the summer or closed because it was Monday. But as it was a grey and rainy day, I'm glad we went with the tour!
We booked it the morning of at the tourist office in Tours - another time I wouldn't leave it til so late, cause if they'd been all booked up we would've been sunk! But luckily there were plenty of different options - leaving at different times and stopping at different castles. It was about 36 euro a person, and the "tour" turned out to be a 7-seater van (there was a Spanish couple and a Japanese girl along as well), and the driver did provide some info as we drove, but not a ton. I did love that he was willing to stop the car whenever there was a castle in view (even if it wasn't one on the itinerary) so that we could take pics!
That's the town of Blois - just look at that cathedral!
...and this is the town of Amboise. That huge building you see there is not a cathedral, it's a castle. Sometimes you can't tell in France which is which.
The Chateau Chambord isn't located in any town. It's set far back in its own park. At last we found ourselves turning into the gates, and driving through the woods. Then we saw it looming in the distance.
That first glimpse of the castle was SO MAGICAL. I lost my breath for a second. And soon we were approaching it UP CLOSE!
There are inevitably some times when you travel that you get stressed out by all the details; but this was one of those days when nothing could bother me. I was just in awe of this incredible old castle, and I felt so lucky to be there.
lol. Eventually, after gawking at the exterior (Seriously. That staircase.), we did make it inside. We hadn't bothered to pay for the audio guides, and it was honestly really fun to just run all over the castle, go wherever we wanted, exploring all the rooms. Most of the plaques were in English as well as French, but it was kinda fun to try to decipher the ones that were only in French!
Some rooms, like this one (I'm pretty sure it was the king's), were opulently decorated with panelling and velvet. Others were very bare, just the stone walls. It's such a ginormous place - I wonder what it would have been like in its heyday in the sixteenth or seventeenth century. Were all the rooms used - cause they were just endless! It must've been like living in a city with all the courtiers and servants. A game of hide and seek in this place would take an eternity to finish, because there are too many nooks and corners to hide in!
The space is so big that they once converted it into a theatre and MOLIERE put on a production here. I love The Misanthrope, so I got kinda excited about that. Today tourists paced the stones instead of actors and writers. Notice how bundled up they are - it was freezing that day, just as cold inside as out. I can see why the French kings didn't care to stay here since it would be impossible to keep it warm!
But. Guess what.
There were fires in the fireplaces. You know how much I approve of that!
Some of the graffiti is from 1515. Seriously.
We had been told when we arrived that the rooftop was OPEN, so soon we made our way upwards.
It was surreal being up on the rooftop - it almost felt like you were wandering around a city with all this gorgeous, surprisingly varied architecture around you.
That is the pinnacle of the (probably) Da Vinci staircase. Talk about a cherry on top! The balconies were gorgeous too; they just went on and on, and stretching out beyond was the flat French countryside.
This is why you travel. To visit places like this. They blow your mind and help you to think in whole new ways. It was so peaceful and beautiful up there, I didn't want to leave.
Next time you watch the Epcot movie, maybe you'll see me up on that rooftop. ;)

Slim Folio Case full review
Slim Folio iPhone 5/5s Case by Covert review
Folio-style iPhone covers are not quite as popular as the classic case styles due to the fact that they obstruct the screen, but if you're seeking more functionality per square centimetre than a typical iPhone case, the Slim Folio case by Covert might be for you.
The folio has a non-slip viewing stand similar to those we often see on iPad cases. Though the appeal of this feature is not as obvious for smaller devices, it is a great option for those who often use their iPhones in landscape mode for watching videos, FaceTiming, reading, and so on.
The cover has a sleek magnet strap closure that works great when the folio is closed. But when actually using the phone, the strap tends to get in the way in both portrait and landscape mode. Fortunately, there's a smart solution - but it's not an obvious one. I actually wrote this whole review thinking that the strap was doomed to hover annoyingly over the screen forever and suggested some double-stick tape to fix the problem, but luckily I discovered the built-in solution before I hit publish. Just push the strap in the opposite direction of its natural curl and - voilà - the magnets will secure the strap out of view.
The stand has two slots for holding cards; even with both cards in there, the Slim Folio manages to never feel bulky. The cards are a bit of a tight fit, though - it was a little difficult getting my credit card in and out of the slot, but I had no trouble with my Oyster Card or student ID. However, the cards did seem to veer off the track a bit though within the slot, leaving me with a crooked card and a noticeable corner poking toward the iPhone. Since the material seems pretty thin, I imagine this might cause a bit of damage over time.
This synthetic leather case comes in pink and light blue and definitely gives off a teenage vibe. The case provides full access to all buttons and ports.

Yesterday I spent some of the morning with 'The Sunshine Stampers', which is a group of Stampin! Up demonstrators. We get together every month. Unfortunately I had other things I had to do and could only stay for a couple of hours (to gossip). The girls very generously gave me the make 'n takes to do at home so I promise to put those up as soon as I do them. One was the never ending card, which I had been dying to do and now I will. SO much to do, so little time.
Today, though, I wanted to give you the instructions from the gift card holder I made on the 5th February, for a challenge. Of course, I made another one, a lot plainer, but I need a couple of plain cards for boys. So here we go:
Card (sleeve) 6" x 4" scored at 23/4" and 51/2"
Card (insert) 4" x 25/8"
Cut and score card and then place tape on the 1/2" tab and fold together. Put insert inside the sleeve and using crop-a-dial, punch a hole in the middle (I used the large hole)
Remove the card and turn upside down, with holes matching. Push ribbon through holes, without cutting ribbon, push insert back down to the bottom of the sleeve. Cut ribbon and tie a knot. I like the double tie but one is enough.
There is your gift card, how easy was that! Now I am going to buy a block of chocolate and make a holder for that. I once saw one on a blog and thought it looked great, so as soon as I make one I will let you know. I just have to keep the chocolate long enough to take a picture.
I shouldn't admit this, but I brought a packet of chocolate eggs today, yes, I know it is too early. But I thought I would use it for decoration with what I am making for Easter. No, I can't, all gone!!!!!!!!!!
Stamp set: Party hearty
Card: Marina mist, chocolate chip, whisper white
Ink: Chocolate chip, marina mist
Acc: Twine, dimensional, ribbon
Hope you have a lovely day....

CONCORD, NC - If you race in the Manufacturer's Cup or Winter Cup you definitely should be able to recognize Jake Tretow. Jake flags the start/finish line and is probably one of the best flaggers let alone one of the biggest racing fans out there. Jake grew up racing karts on the paved oval courses and now is a legends car racer. He loves being at the races, watching all the battles and enjoys the jokes and camaraderie that comes with being apart of the WKA race staff. Read more about Jake, his racing and flagging life below in this interview:
How many years have you been in the racing world?
"18 years, since 1999."
Have you ever raced? If so, what and for how long?
"I raced WKA pavement oval from 2003-2007 and now I race legends cars."
What made you want to work for the WKA?
"It was a great opportunity to learn more about karting and have a great time with some awesome people."
What does a day in the life look like at the WKA races?
"I'm at the start/finish line all weekend (Friday-Sunday) flagging and watching every race."
What is your favorite racing series to watch?
"Weekly short track racing is by far the best racing there is, whether it is on pavement or dirt."
What do you enjoy most about WKA races?
"The people are awesome and I enjoy watching large groups of karts battle for wins."
Which race has been your most memorable so far, and why?
"I have worked the races at Daytona for the past 3 years. It's really cool having the Manufacturer's Cup, Road Race Series and Dirt Series all at the same place. "
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
"Racing is the best addiction there is, but I'm a firm believer that if you are not having fun [at the races] you are in the wrong business."

Whose Timing

Heather,Kristen was praying asking God for healing from these terrible seizures and heard the Lord tell her that in His time she would have healing. She was just 16 or 17 and is now 37 and the seizures continue as does all the medication side effects. I've come to believe our days on this earth are nothing compared to what we will one day experience and there healing will be complete. Here our bodies break down, become diseased and riddled with pain, some more mental than physical, but one day... no more! In the end We win because the work He did is complete and death has been defeated. My daughter will be whole and you will be as well. I still pray for that healing and for effective natural remedies.Thank you for sharing your life with us..mine has also changed quite a bit since Hubby's stroke. The future isn't ours to know, is it?

Heather...after all you've been through your writing...your thoughts come through clear as a bell like a message from Heaven. The first time I read this I was crying so hard I wrote to you in a text message. I was rambling. I love you so much girl. I'm so glad you are still with us and pray with all my heart that I can see you again! You are a precious miracle... And I pray the injection stops these things for good. Jesus loves you and I do too. Please be careful with yourself. Love your family too. Love Libby

10 Recent Contentious Boxing Decisions
Being a website that hosts boxing scorecards from official judges, it's natural that the topic of robberies comes up at somepoint. Originally I was working on an article that focused on robberies, but toned it down to "contentious decisions" as to recognise the subjectivity of fight scoring.
Off the top of my head, here are ten fights that I can think of in recent years that have generated a lot of debate and intrigue around the scoring process. Enjoy…
1. Pacquiao Vs Bradley
2. Pacquio Vs Marquez III
3. Oscar De La Hoya Vs Felix Trinidad
4. Oscar De La Hoya Vs Shane Mosley
5. Amir Khan Lamont Peterson
6. Castillo Mayweather
7. Joe Calzaghe Vs Bernard Hopkins
8. Ricky Hatton Vs LLuis collazo
9. Joel Casamayor v. Jose Armando Santa Cruz
10. Paulie Malignaggi Juan Diaz
