Magma impresses at Spring Break in Negril
Working in front of an audience of almost 1000 patrons, he was called on to the stage by veteran deejay Danny English, and immediately sparked the crowd with a ganja tune, 'Sipping on a Sip' delivered in his enigmatic high energy style. He was forced to pull up the song and delivered it again to loud cheers from the audience.
He followed that up with 'Toppa Toppa' which also elicited loud cheers from the audience, intrigued by his witty rhymes.
"The show was really good, I got a great response, me and Danny English get some of the biggest forwards fi the night, trust me it gwaan good king, I am well pleased with how the audience ah respond to the ting," Magma, whose real name is Adam Mayo, said.
Veteran dancehall deejay Danny English was also in fine form, sparking the crowd with his smash hit single, 'Meet Me at the Party', and his ever-popualr 'If Yu Man a Gi Yu Bun'. Other artistes who performed include Fantan Mojah, Singa J, and Sizzla/.
As the first quarter of the year ends, Magma will be releasing two videos in the next couple of weeks.
"One of the videos is for a song called 'Musicmaker', a combination with Cederic Myton from the Congos and a video called 'Lions Don't Fear' which has a scene with Dean Fraser in it. 'Lions Don't Fear' is a rasta warrior song that is getting some buzz out there," he said.
Over the past month, Magma has been burning up the airwaves with a pair of new singles, 'Love Life' and a remake of the Half Pint classic, 'Level Di Vibes' featuring new vocals by reggae legend Half Pint, the latter of which was officially released mid-February via iTunes and other downloadable music platforms on his own Moltenrock Productions label.
Last year, Magma scored well with a radio hit, a cover of Paul Simon's 'Diamonds On The Soles of Her Shoes'. Magma himself co-produced the single with Kevon Brown and Donovan Joseph for his Moltenrock Productions. The song was distributed by Tad's International. Since settling in Jamaica over 10 years ago, Magma has released a number of songs for various producers. His sole album, The Mission, was released in 2015 but now he is getting ready to drop a new EP.
"I have been recording a number of songs, and doing a lot of writing with my friend Danny English for my own label, Moulten Rock Productions, and I will be dropping an EP within the next two months, I am doing the mixing and mastering," he said.

I received a comment on my last post here from @FredricDelmais. I normally don't comment on the hatemail I get, but since Mr. Demais took the trouble to track me down from Twitter to hate on me, I am making an exception in his case. And, no, I'm not going to post it and yes, I'm going to name him and shame him, because his comment was not only incredibly stupid – it's more. This stupid comment encapsulates the conservative mind.
Yes, Mr. Delmais believes that because I want sensible gun laws, including banning assault weapons and large-capacity magazines, I somehow morph into a babykiller. Yes, he accused me of killing thousands and thousands of babies. Mr. Delmais has constructed a tenuous web of "wingnut logic" – comparing controlling guns and promoting gun safety with abortion. And voila, because I support sensible gun laws AND reproductive choice for women, I have morphed into a babykiller.
I've never killed anyone. I've never had an abortion – hell, I've never even been pregnant. So where are all these babies I have killed?
They exist only in the deluded, sick, angry, feverish mind of a Rush-addled, Dobson-spouting, God-Hates-Fags cheerleader like Mr. Delmais.
Weapons-grade stupid, my friends. Beware of it.

Hello my readers! Sorry to have kept you waiting. You would not believe what i've been through this month. First there was a giant snow storm that trapped me and my family for weeks. We tried digging our way out but came upon an ancient Elvin city where I was crowned King. Unfortunately King of the Elves also meant "he who sits atop a throne of thorns all day and gets his love life determined by a senile sage." That didn't jive with my 21st century American ideals so we ran away. We ended up making our way across volcanoes, deserts, tundra, and even a maze the size of North America. Eventually we hitchhiked home and here I am, relaying the story to you now.
Of course, if you believed any of that, you were probably born yesterday. Considering all of you who tolerate my blog are smart enough to fight your way out of a paper bag, I really should stop talking in circles and get to the point.
And that is I'm sorry for not updating. I promised I'd get around the finishing the Publishing Institute by August, yet, low and behold, it's the 31st and I still have 6 more entries to write. As such I will try to make up for lost time and publish as many of these as I can. It's the least I can for those of you who waited patiently for another blog post.
So without further ado: I'm back! And I'm not going anywhere anytime soon!
For those of you who are still steamed, here is another blog I found that lists fantastic writing resources:
Check him out, he's got some great stuff.
If that doesn't make up for it, then here: have some cute animals.
And my favorite:
They're like little bear foxes!

High childhood IQ linked to future illicit drug use
A high childhood IQ may be linked to subsequent illegal drug use, particularly among women, according to research published online in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.
The authors base their findings on data from just under 8,000 people in the 1970 British Cohort Study, a large ongoing population based study, which looks at lifetime drug use, socioeconomic factors, and educational attainment.
The IQ scores of the participants were measured at the ages of 5 and 10 years, using a validated scale, and information was gathered on self reported levels of psychological distress and drug use at the age of 16, and again at the age of 30 (drug use only) .
Drug use included cannabis; cocaine; uppers (speed and wiz); downers (blues, tanks, barbiturates); LSD (acid); and heroin.
By the age of 30, around one in three men (35.4%) and one in six women (15.9%) had used cannabis, while 8.6% of men and 3.6% of women had used cocaine, in the previous 12 months.
A similar pattern of use was found for the other drugs, with overall drug use twice as common among men as among women.
When intelligence was factored in, the analysis showed that men with high IQ scores at the age of 5 were around 50% more likely to have used amphetamines, ecstasy, and several illicit drugs than those with low scores, 25 years later.
The link was even stronger among women, who were more than twice as likely to have used cannabis and cocaine as those with low IQ scores.
The same associations emerged between a high IQ score at the age of 10 and subsequent use of cannabis, ecstasy, amphetamines, multiple drug use and cocaine, although this last association was only evident at the age of 30.
The findings held true, irrespective of anxiety/depression during adolescence, parental social class, and lifetime household income.
"Although most studies have suggested that higher child or adolescent IQ prompts the adoption of a healthy lifestyle as an adult, other studies have linked higher childhood IQ scores to excess alcohol intake and alcohol dependency in adulthood," write the authors.
Although it is not yet clear exactly why there should be a link between high IQ and illicit drug use, the authors point to previous research, showing that highly intelligent people are open to experiences and keen on novelty and stimulation.
Other research has also shown that brainy children are often easily bored and suffer at the hands of their peers for being different, "either of which could conceivably increase vulnerability to using drugs as an avoidant coping strategy," explain the authors.

I was going to go flying today (retractable training and some IFR refresher work), but last night's storm left 6 inches of slushy snow on the plane. The ramp was a mess (didn't want to get slush into the retractable gear where it can freeze and prevent deployment). It was also still misting freezing drizzle. So I brushed snow off the planes and went to the shop.
All I did was work on ribs…. ribs, ribs, ribs
I finished deburring each rib with a file, sandpaper, and a Scotch-brite wheel. I drilled the two holes for snap bushings on a drill press. I dimpled the top of the non-wing walk ribs. I scuffed and primed the rib. I marked them with their location from the spar and hung them up.
I hung a box up as a mini-paint booth for the priming step.
Despite a break for lunch and ice skating lessons, I got 10 ribs done. 18 to go.

Tim Cook calls out issues with US tax code in CBS interview with Charlie Rose/
Apple CEO Tim Cook will be on the CBS show 60 Minutes this Sunday in an interview with Charlie Rose. Cook spent part of the interview defending Apple's tax policies, noting that the company pays more in taxes than any other entity in the US in a "backwards" system.
Over two years ago, Cook testified before the US Congress about the tax code and the penalty paid by companies that want to repatriate money held overseas. Apple currently has over $200 billion sitting overseas, and Cook told Rose that he would "love to bring it home."
Cook's point on the topic is clear:
After the 2013 testimony before Congress, some American politicians thought Apple was scheming to pay little or no taxes to the US, and when questioned about that by Rose, Cook responded testily "That is total political crap. There is no truth behind it. Apple pays every tax dollar we owe."

Batteries... The world runs on batteries, do you ever have enough?
Years ago just about everything ran on "D" or "C" size, now it is "AA" or "AAA". The really good thing about that is you can get great deals on bulk packs of them and really stock up. The only thing I have to store D batteries for is my MagLite...and if I
would spend the money I could get a rechargeable one like the police use
As I wrote in my article for Off the Grid News "Six Things Preppers Can Overlook" "Batteries (alkaline) stored at room temperature or cooler lose less than
2 percent of their charge per year. When the temps get up to 85, the
rate climbs to 5 percent, and at 100, the rate is 25 percent. So, as you
can see, cooler is better for storing batteries. You may have heard to
store your batteries in the freezer, but experts say the colder temps
add very little to storage life. A cool, dry place seems to be the best
Rechargables lose their energy much quicker in storage than do alklines but have the advantage of being recharged. To be truly sustainable you should pick up a few solar chargers for your batteries. I say a "few" because they take quite a while to actually recharge those batteries so you might have a few sets recharging at a time.
So your assignment for day seven is to figure out what equipment you have that requires batteries. Figure out what size batteries you will need to run it, and start shopping for good deals so you can stock up. You better shop for some rechargables also along with a couple solar chargers.
Still clinging to my God and my guns,

Tom DeLonge: No More Compromises
Back in February, when Blink-182 announced they were going on "indefinite hiatus," fans freaked and Geffen Records winced. But for their part, the members of Blink seemed remarkably stoical about the decision, which effectively ended a 13-year partnership and killed a band that had sold more than 20 million albums worldwide. Bassist Mark Hoppus got right back to work, producing albums for bands like Motion City Soundtrack and launching a weekly podcasting site. Drummer Travis Barker became a reality-TV star and started roughly 78 new bands. And guitarist Tom DeLonge did nothing at all.
Well that's not entirely true. In the wake of the Blink bust-up, he did spend three weeks in complete isolation, away from his family and bandmates, thinking about his life and career. More specifically he wondered if he ever wanted to play music again, and as Hoppus and Barker began to give their first post-Blink interviews, he continued to ruminate on the subject, until the weeks became months and fans of the band began to wonder just why he was keeping quiet. Had the whole Blink incident been his fault?
But early in September DeLonge began to stir, issuing a statement through Geffen that explained where he'd been and why he'd been keeping silent. Turns out he was working on a self-described "greatest rock and roll revolution," a band called Angels & Airwaves, which he said would change the face of popular music for years to come.
And now, as he puts the finishing touches on not only the A&A album, but a full-length accompanying film — and as Geffen prepares to release a career-spanning (and some say, capping) Blink-182 Greatest Hits CD/DVD — DeLonge's finally willing to let fly on a host of topics. From his decision to once again make music and his high hopes for his new band to the inner workings of the Blink meltdown and his thoughts on Hoppus and Barker's lives, post-Blink, DeLonge lets it all hang out.
MTV: So after Blink went on hiatus, you became invisible, giving no interviews and disappearing from the public eye. Meanwhile your former bandmates seemed to have no trouble getting on with their lives. Care to explain where you've been?
Tom DeLonge: When Blink went on this hiatus, I sat around and was trying to reorganize the next chapter of my life. I literally stayed awake for three weeks straight and sat there and went, "OK, what have I done in my life?" I knew we'd already sold 20 million records, and we'd already come out with great records. Enema of the State redefined pop-punk in the era it came out, and then we came out with the last Blink record [Blink-182], and I thought that was a fantastic record and a force to be reckoned with. So I said, "Well OK, I've already made great records ... do I want to come out with another great record, or write great radio songs? No, this is the point in my life where I need to come out with the best record." So instead of going out and getting on TV and talking about what I was doing, I wanted to think it through and make sure that when I did talk, I would know exactly what I was talking about, and I would know exactly where I was with [Angels & Airwaves]. I didn't want to come out and just be like, "Oh, I'm going to play some more music," because I'm not just creating another band, I'm trying to create the world's greatest rock band.
MTV: You've raised more than a few eyebrows with some of your statements about Angels & Airwaves, calling it the greatest thing you've ever done musically. Are you worried that a statement like that might upset some Blink fans?
DeLonge: It's not like I'm taking this lightly. I'm not an egotistical a--hole. But I do consider myself to be a pretty intelligent person, and I know that when I had previously sat around and thought about taking Blink to another level — like when I did Box Car Racer [his more mature side project with Barker] — I always knew exactly what I wanted to do and what direction to push the music in. And with this thing, I spent a long time thinking about what I wanted to do. ... I started writing this [A&A] album the day we finished recording [Blink-182], because I knew I had to beat it. So I've been thinking about this sh-- for years, and before Blink took its break, I knew that Angels was going to be the biggest band in the world. We knew that we were the only band that could do something like that. Besides someone like Coldplay, I don't know of any rock bands that could do that. We want to take this project to that Police level, that Joshua Tree level. And I already had the songs to do it. So when Blink went on hiatus, I'm sitting around going, "OK, I know I have the material; how do I put it all together in my own way, without having to compromise at all?"
MTV: You mention two subjects that are rather contentious among Blink fans: Box Car Racer and Blink's last album, which, because of the move toward a darker sound and more profound subject matter, a lot of fans see as having your fingerprints all over it. In fact most people see both those things as the main reasons Blink went on hiatus.
DeLonge: There's no way I could've done anything in Blink without Mark and Travis. I mean, I had to compromise all the time, but that was part of the magic of that band. It's obvious that the music changed after I went and did Box Car, it's obvious that when Travis went and did the Transplants things changed too. But in Blink, I was the one responsible for the way the guitars started sounding, because I was the one playing that kind of stuff. One of the craziest things about Box Car Racer is that it was the both greatest and the worst thing for Blink. It was obviously the reason why we made that last record, which I thought was a masterpiece, but it also caused a great division in the band. It was really hard for Mark. He thought it was really lame Travis and I went and did that, but it was a totally benign thing on my part, because I only asked Travis to play drums because I didn't want to pay for a studio drummer. It wasn't meant to be a real band. But even before Blink was finished, Mark and Travis went out and started Plus-44, and I didn't even know until months later. I had to read about it in the press, and that's what I didn't understand, because the hypocrisy to me seems ridiculous. But I guess that at the end of the day, those guys had things they wanted to do with Blink, and I guess they couldn't do those things with me.
MTV: Both Hoppus and Barker have remained vague about the whole Blink situation, but they have spoken on the matter. Meanwhile you've remained silent, and as a result, many fans seem to believe that you were somehow to blame. Care to set the record straight about just what happened?
DeLonge: The reality is, at the end, when we decided to take this break, our priorities were mad, mad different. My priority was my family, and my life had to be structured in a way where I had to be around for my daughter. She was 2 years old at the time. And they wanted to keep touring, and it didn't work out to where our priorities were the same. But I'm sure a lot of people think that [I'm to blame]. All I want to say is that the last words that were said to me by my bandmembers were, "If your family is going to be your priority, then you better be cool with the repercussions," whatever that means. That was the last thing that was said to me. And I think there was a lot of paranoia and a lot of bitterness between all of us.
At the same time, it's not like they didn't love their families or love me, I just think that in the heated exchanges that were happening, it became evident that the ways we view our lives and want to live our lives now that we're older are just different. I couldn't imagine doing my work if I wasn't able to totally pick and choose how to be there for my family, because at that point they really needed me, and I don't think those guys understood that or didn't want to understand that. But at the same time, their lives are totally different. Travis is able to handle a lot more things in his life than I can, and the same goes for Mark. But at the same time, they're still great guys. Travis is the best musician I've ever played with, and Mark is a super-sweetheart, my best friend for a decade. But I think that the way all the sh-- went down, when money and fame entered into the equation, and the way we were all growing up and having kids, I think we all just grew apart.
MTV: You've said in previous interviews that since Blink went on hiatus, you haven't spoken to Mark or Travis. So do you hold any ill will toward your ex-bandmates?
DeLonge: Not at all. Not in the slightest. I'm not bitter or mad at those guys at all. Those guys are not bad guys, and I love them to death, and they were my best friends in the world and I miss them tremendously, and I hope to God that one day we can continue this, but I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon. I think there's still a lot of unresolved stuff. I mean, there's still a lot of stuff left over from Box Car Racer.
MTV: Any regrets then?
DeLonge: Not at all. What happened in Blink, and the way it all went down, I felt like I had to do everything for the right reasons. I started a charity, I'm doing these things to change the world, and in the meantime, I'm going to make the raddest rock band in the world to help me do it. This is the greatest part of my life. The stress and all the sh-- took years off my life, but I cannot even tell you how excited and how freaked out [I am] by how big I think this new thing is going to be. At the same time, I know that there are other amazing bands out there, and I know that this might fail, but I'm cool with that. Because I think for the first time in my life, I feel like I can make a difference. Everyone I talk to says stuff like "Music sucks today," and I'm going to try and change all that.

Applied Pharmacoeconomics
What is Applied Pharmacoeconomics?
Pharmacoeconomics is a field that utilizes a combination of scientific and economic methods to evaluate and compare the value of one drug or therapy to another. The studies provide scientifically grounded data to assist in optimal allocation of health care resources.
Why Applied Pharmacoeconomics?
In this track, students will learn to critique and apply pharmacoeconomic methods as they relate to cost-minimization, cost-effectiveness, cost-utility, and cost-benefit to improve clinical decision making. Graduates of the program may participate in a team effort to design and evaluate interventions to improve clinical, economic and humanistic outcomes within a health system. The skills to evaluate and analyze data to advise complex decisions will give health care professionals a competitive advantage.
Preview a lecture with Dr. Diaby, track director
Who is this program for?
Students entering the Applied Pharmacoeconomics track can pursue careers in dozens of health care-related fields. Common career paths include:

Right since middle of April I have been harping on the fact that we should be on sell side. In fact I have advised against investing in stock market at present and instead only trade in stock futures. You can see it in this post here Execute Your Trading Plan Now
Also since May I have been asking traders to go short in the market. Last time I recommended selling Nifty June Futures was at 6230 in this post here Indian Markets Chug Along - But Bulls Beware of Trap
As you can see I had warned bulls in the market to be cautious. Today Nifty June Futures slipped and closed at 6127. Those who have shorted Nifty at 6230 level can think of booking profit as market opens tomorrow and Nifty is around today's closing price. This should give them a neat profit of Rs 5000/- per lot in two days of trading.
Those who still haven't executed any trade can do so tomorrow. If market opens positive look to execute trade recommendations that I had posted today before market opening. You can look them up here Short Positions For 21st May : Stock Futures
Keep trading since you will get umpteen opportunities this May to trade on the short side. All the best!

Democrats to Decide Governor, Freeholder Races in Primary
By Justin Bridge
and Paul J. Peyton
Specially Written for The Westfield Leader
Although there are no local races in this Tuesdays Primary Election, registered Democrats and undeclared voters will decide the candidates who will represent the party this November in the races for Governor and the Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders.
Three Democrats are fighting for their partys nomination for governor in the primaries; Congressman Robert Andrews of Camden, Morris County Prosecutor Michael Murphy and State Senator and Woodbridge Mayor James E. McGreevey.
Congressman Andrews graduated summa cum laude from Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, where he also was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He also received his law degree from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. After graduating from Cornell, he served as an attorney and as an adjunct professor at the Rutgers University School of Law. In addition, Mr. Andrews also served two terms as a Freeholder.
Congressman Andrews was first elected to the United States Congress in 1990, and is currently serving his fourth term. He serves on the Economic and Educational Opportunities Committee and the International Relations Committee.
Mr. Murphy, the stepson of former Governor Richard J. Hughes, graduated from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration in 1971. He went on to graduate from Seton Hall School of Law in Newark in 1974.
The candidate worked as a public defender, had a private law practice, and was an Assistant Prosecutor for Morris County before Governor James J. Florio appointed him Morris County Prosecutor in 1990. His cases included the trial of the couple who kidnapped and murdered Exxon executive Sidney J. Reso.
He worked as a lawyer in private practice from 1995 through this past January, when he took leave to run for Governor.
Mr. McGreevey graduated from Columbia University with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1978. From there, he went on to Georgetown University Law School where he received his degree in 1981. He also received his Master of Arts Degree from Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1982. He served as the Assistant Prosecutor of Middlesex County from 1982 to 1983; Legislative Assistant to the State Assembly Speaker from 1983 to 1985, and as the Executive Director of the New Jersey Parole Board from 1985 to 1986.
He then served as the Public Affairs Manager for Merck & Company from 1987 to 1991 while also serving as State Assemblyman from 1990 to 1991. He was elected as the Mayor of Woodbridge in 1992. In addition to being Mayor, Mr. McGreevey has also served as a State Senator since 1994.
Incumbent Christine Todd Whitman, currently the 50th governor of New Jersey and the first woman ever to hold that office, is unopposed in her bid for the Republican Partys nod. Mrs. Whitman graduated from Wheaton College in Massachusetts in 1968 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Government. After graduation, she worked for the United States Office of Economic Opportunity as well as the Republican National Committee.
In 1982, Mrs. Whitman was elected to the Somerset County Board of Chosen Freeholders. She was reelected to the board again in 1985. Over the five years she served as a Freeholder, Mrs. Whitman held the positions of Director and Deputy Director.
In 1988, then Governor Thomas H. Kean appointed her to serve as President of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU). In 1990, she resigned from the BPU to run for the United States Senate. She lost to incumbent Senator Bill Bradley by a small margin, gaining 49 percent of the vote.
After the loss, Mrs. Whitman kept herself busy by working for numerous committees throughout the state and local levels in addition to writing a newspaper column and hosting a radio show. She decided to run for governor against incumbent Governor Florio in 1993 and won.
At the Freeholder level, for the second consecutive year, slates of candidates are challenging those endorsed on the party line by the Regular Democratic Organization of Union County. The three candidates running on the line are Deborah Peer Scanlon of Union, former Rahway City Councilman and Union County Utilities Authority Commissioner Chester Holmes, and former Roselle Park Councilman Alexander Mirabella.
They will face slates from Elizabeth and Plainfield. The Elizabeth slate, running under the party name Stop Corruption and Profiteering in Government, includes Mary L. Varona, Paul P. Pickton, and James E. Garvin. The Plainfield candidates, who have chosen to run under the banner Democratic Progress, include Craig Montgomery, Bryan Askew and Marie Davis. The Democrats currently hold a 6-3 majority on the board with the three Republican seats up this year.
Running unopposed in the GOP Primary are incumbent Freeholders Edwin H. Force of Cranford, Henry W. Kurz of Roselle Park and Frank H. Lehr of Summit.
In the race for State Senate in the 22nd Legislative District, incumbent Republican Donald T. DiFrancesco of Scotch Plains is seeking reelection. He began his political career as an Assemblyman between 1976 and 1979. He was then elected to the New Jersey Senate in a special election and has since been reelected five times. He served as the Senate Minority Leader from 1982 to 1984. Senator DiFrancesco, who serves as Township Attorney for Scotch Plains will face Democrat Margaret Ault in November. The Leader was unable to reach her office in time for this story.
Republican Assemblyman Alan M. Augustine is a former Union County Freeholder, and also served as a member of the Scotch Plains Township Council and was named Mayor three times by his council colleagues. He was first elected to the Assembly in 1992 and has remained ever since. He serves as a member of the Appropriations Committee, is the Vice Chairman of the State Government Committee, and also is the Vice Chairman of the Financial Institutions Committee.
Republican Assemblyman Richard H. Bagger of Westfield also is running for reelection in the Assembly. Mr. Bagger has served on the Westfield Republican Committee since 1980. He also served on the Westfield Town Council from 1984 to 1990 as well as the Westfield Planning Board from 1987 to 1992. In 1991, Mr. Bagger was elected Mayor of Westfield. He resigned the following year upon his election to the Assembly.
Running against the two Republicans are Democrats Norman Albert and Andrew Baron. The Leader was unable to receive any biographical information on either candidate at this time.
In Westfield, the Democrats will try to wrestle away control of the nine-member governing body for the first time in the towns history. The Republican slate includes newcomer Gregory S. McDermott in the First Ward, incumbent Second Ward Councilman Matthew P. Albano, Third Ward Councilman Neil F. Sullivan, Jr., and newcomer Christian A. Sepe in the Fourth Ward. They will run against Democrats Mark A. McCabe in the First Ward, Kenneth Rotter in the Third Ward, and incumbent Fourth Ward Councilman Donnell Carr.

You've probably been told a time or two by your OBGYN and mom friends that working out during pregnancy is good for you and your baby. Yes, you may need to modify your pregnancy workouts and exclude some potentially dangerous activities for awhile (bye bye bikes, horseback riding and skiing), but exercise during pregnancy offers some amazing health benefits including stress relief, improved flexibility and strength to handle your growing body (which also helps during labor and delivery), and weight management. And you can reap these benefits with your partner in crime! Today we're exploring pregnancy workouts for couples to keep both you and your hubs in good shape and ready to welcome your sweet new baby.
While you're carrying the brunt of the body changes during pregnancy, your partner is an integral part of the experience. From helping prepare your home for your baby's arrival, to supporting your physical and emotional health, dads-to-be are growing and changing in their own ways. Studies have even shown the hormonal shift that occurs in expectant dads during pregnancy resulting in "pregnancy symptoms" for fathers as well. And up to half of men gain weight during their partner's pregnancy. What better way to combat the bulge than pregnancy workouts for couples?
Especially when you're pregnant, having a partner around can make working out more enjoyable and safer too. Pregnancy takes a lot of adjustment so it's hard to know how your body will respond to different exercises during each stage. With your husband around you'll always have backup should you need a little assistance. Plus you can spend some quality bonding time together before the baby arrives, which may not happen often in just a few months. And of course you'll both get the physical and mental benefits of working out, made even better by companionship.
Pregnancy Workouts for Couples
Walking: Anything from a stroll to a power walk can make a great pregnancy workout for couples. Find your pace and get moving at least three times a week. Check out different parks and neighborhoods if you're feeling adventurous, or stick to an indoor track if it makes you more comfortable. Be careful of treadmills and other gym equipment – the rebalance of body weight during pregnancy may have you feeling a little off-kilter. Also avoid rocky areas and steep mountain terrains where you would be more likely to fall.
Swimming: The weightlessness of water submersion can feel so good during pregnancy. You may not have the stamina for endless laps, but do what you can and then do some water calisthenics to round out your workout. The resistance of the water can be a powerful workout without the impact of regular aerobic exercise.
Partner Prenatal Yoga: When your schedules align, practice partner prenatal yoga. This mind-body workout will not only challenge your bodies, but also keep you connected and grounded during this exciting and anxious time in your lives. Partner prenatal yoga consists of pregnancy-safe moves where you and your partner support each other's weight and help each other stretch. Plus, it incorporates wonderful breathing techniques that may help you during labor and delivery.
Weight Training: Weight training with light hand weights during pregnancy is a fantastic way to pump your heart rate and stay toned. It also allows you and partner to select appropriate weights for your fitness levels and your partner can be close by to ensure you are safe. Try simple arm strengthening moves to hit each upper body muscle group once or twice, and then use weights for resistance during squats, lunges or reclining leg-lifts. Take breaks as needed and unlike your pre-pregnancy workouts, there's no need to engage your core!
Remember, follow the recommendations of your physician regarding exercise during pregnancy. Only workout to your fitness level and discontinue exercise that causes pain or unusual symptoms.
Also, gear up with a nursing sports bra that will take you from pregnancy through breastfeeding. The comfort and support is unbeatable and you'll be ready to get back in the swing of exercise once your little one arrives.

St. Max offers a program of Christian Initiation (RCIT) specifically for teens who have missed traditional sacramental preparation or simply want to learn more about the Catholic faith. The program is based on the adult program (RCIA) which has been used by the Catholic church formally since 1972, but is based on rites of the church that date back to the first century.
With the support of the parents, RCIT provides an opportunity for spiritual growth, conversion, and personal choice in preparation for full initiation into the Catholic Church through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. It empowers teens to live their faith every day through service, charity, and justice as witnesses of Jesus Christ.
Weekly sessions are geared towards making the Catholic faith and a relationship with God real and present for today's teen. In addition to the weekly sessions students are required to attend weekend masses and special liturgies.
Registration form can be picked up in the Church or Religious Education Office or can be downloaded with the link below.
For additional information, please contact Mrs. Maryann Hotchkiss, Director of Religious Education at (954) 885-7260.

The 88th Craigalmond Scout Group were in a bit of a jam. Their St Andrew's Weekend Fundraiser was in danger of being cancelled when their band cancelled with just a few days to go!
Clare contacted Jiggered Ceilidh Band and fortunately we were able to go over to play at the event, held in Carrick Knowe Primary School over in Edinburgh.
It was a great night- the crowd were youthful and enthusiastic, Emma had fun playing with the props backstage and we the Scouts raised loads of money too!
So, if you have a problem and no-one else can help and if you can find them, maybe you could hire The Jiggered Team....
Posted at 8:35 on 30th November 2014 by Chris Smith
Jiggered Ceilidh Band were out and about for their first ceilidh of the weekend...
This one was in Glasgow- Bath Street Tron Halls to be precise. It was a pleasure to be playing for Laura and the RTW team. We played for just over two hours and the crowd were fab. There were a number of internationals present, ceilidhing for the first time! Expertly guided by Emma, the whole ceilidh went smoothly and we were getting loads of compliments on our way out of the door!
Next up, Edinburgh...
Posted at 23:51 on 28th November 2014 by Chris Smith
Jonathan and Kirsten's wedding was a great one to be involved in. There were a couple of connections with the band- Jiggered's Emma and bride Kirsten know each other from university (both are ridiculously clever cookies) and I know John Speirs who married the couple. The venue was a familiar one for us: the Lodge on Loch Lomond. It's a beautiful setting and the view from the McMillan Suite is just stunning.
Jonathan and Kirsten had one our all-time-favourite seating plans. It was themed around the TV Series "Friends" and shared some of the key moments in the couple's relationship over the years!
The crowd were up for a ceilidh- their "Hooligan's Jig" moves deserve a special mention and I can't remember a more exhuberant reponse to us playing "Someone Like You" and "Dignity". Jonathan was singing our praises at the end of the night, saying he'd recommend us to anyone who'd listen!
All the best to the new Mr and Mrs Grant!
Posted at 8:50 on 16th November 2014 by Chris Smith
The latest ceilidh of 2014 for Jiggered Ceilidh Band saw us return to Pollok House, Glasgow. We'd been recommended by a friend of the bride, Jenny.
The evening celebrations consisted of three sets of ceilidh interspersed with some of the newlywed couple's favourite tunes on iPod! It made for a perfect mix and the crowd were superb!
It's been a busy weekend which explains the uncharacteristic brevity and lateness of this blogpost! Normal service will be resumed soon...

The Fragility of Life
Our little boy was born with a small mole on his lower back. Rather like a freckle. None of my babies had been born with freckles before and over the next couple of weeks it grew in size to a large, flat mole. I pointed it out to the doctor at his 6 week check and was told that it was a cafe au lait mark and nothing to worry about. He also had a brown mark on his belly button. I remember her commenting on a couple of little dimples he has too and her saying that he was an odd little baby because of these little things. I don't think she meant it in a horrible way, more that she had never really seen these things before.
I'll be honest, I went home and googled cafe au lait markings and didn't much like what I found. I stepped away from google and concentrated on the fact that the doctor was happy he was ok.
Fast forward nearly two years. His belly button turned a normal colour, the dimples remain but the mole starts to get darker. One side becomes raised, then the other and one day I noticed it bleeding. Obviously I thought the worst but I tried to ignore it for a few days, hoping it would go back to normal on its own. It didn't so I took him straight to the doctor. I hoped the doctor would think I was making a fuss but he immediately got out a professional looking camera kit, rulers and photographed his mole to be sent to the hospital for review. I was told they would look at it within a day or two and get back to us. Less than a week later a letter appeared from the doctor saying that the hospital wanted to see him urgently and that we should have an appointment within 2 weeks.
It was the word 'urgently' that upset me the most. I wanted him to be seen obviously but I didn't want it to be urgent. I didn't want it to be anything serious. I wanted to be told it was ok, I was being silly. I cried to my best friend on the phone. We waited for his appointment and his mole got worse. It became red and raised around the edge. I grew more anxious about it and the hospital gave us a cancellation appointment so we could be seen sooner.
In the middle of all of this came his second birthday. I can't explain to you how weird I felt about it. I wanted to celebrate his birthday, but not do anything particularly special. I didn't want to be thinking this was his last birthday, that we were making a massive effort because I was worried he wouldn't have another or that he would be ill next year. I didn't want to have a party because I didn't feel like celebrating. I felt guilty for every thought that I had. In the end we had a lovely day with family and he had a wonderful day. I felt so sad on his birthday I think if I had stopped for a minute I would have burst into tears but I put on a happy face.
I didn't really tell many people. Only my closest friends and my mum. I didn't want to worry anyone and I also didn't really want to talk about it. I wanted to put him on our church prayers list but I couldn't without questions and then I felt guilty, thinking maybe I wasn't doing everything that I could. I tried to block it out of my mind, to pretend it wasn't happening. I'd google pictures of moles for hours, comparing them to his, reading horror stories and feeling sick to my stomach.
5 weeks ago we saw the consultant at the hospital. He examined Little Boy's mole very closely under the microscope for a long time. He sat at his desk and began writing. He didn't say a word for ages. I remember wanting to shake him, to tell him to say something, anything! He finally turned to us and explained that he didn't think Little Boy's mole looked cancerous but it was definitely irritated and inflamed so it was hard to tell. To remove the mole would be a big deal due to the size of it and it would require general anaesthetic so he was reluctant to do it at this stage. He prescribed very strong steroids which he hoped would help with the inflammation so he could take a better look at the mole in 5 weeks time. We were sent to medical photography where it was measured and photographed for his records.
So, it was good news, but not great news. We were still on a bit of a waiting game. We used the cream and the redness and raised texture lessened. We felt a little more reassured. We went back for our follow up appointment on Friday. My best friend babysat the girls for us, we hadn't even told them what was happening. We turned up at the hospital, anxious for a good outcome but so nervous we couldn't eat any breakfast.
This time the doctor took another look under the microscope and was much happier with what he saw. The redness had reduced and he said he was more confident that the mole is benign. We have an open door to go back if it changes again at any time and a follow up appointment in year. We were once again sent to medical photography for more photos so they can keep track of the changes. So it was very good news.
As with anything though, it is not exactly an all-clear. There is a list of things that make a mole look suspicious and Little Boy's mole ticks a couple of those boxes. We'll definitely be keeping a close eye on it. I am delighted the doctor was more confident the mole isn't anything sinister of course, I was so happy I could cry on Friday. But it definitely reminded me of how fragile life is. One little mole could have spelled something tragic. It could still spell something awful in the future. We don't know what life has in store for us. I took this photo as I left the hospital and you may have seen it if you follow me on Instagram.
I have love / hate relationship with this hospital. This week they gave us great news. Next year they might give us bad news. I have had all three of my gorgeous babies here but I also lost one at nearly 12 weeks here, on the way to the EPAU, in the early hours of the morning in a toilet cubicle I probably couldn't find again. This place really is life and death in one bundle, the good, the bad and the downright ugly. I'd be very happy if I never had to go there again, but at the same time very glad that it is there if we need it, and sadly we always do. They say that the Lord giveth and he taketh away and this place really highlights that for me.
Life is brilliant, magical, wonderful but oh so fragile.

Who is a senior developer anyway?
What makes you a "senior developer"? Everyone and their dog calls themselves a senior developer these days. From fresh graduates to the CTO, everyone is a senior developer. But what the hell does it even mean?
Some developers are avid technologists. They got into programming really because they like tinkering. If it hadn't been 7 languages in 7 weeks, it would have been a box of meccano or they'd be in their shed busy inventing the battery operated self-tieing tie. These people are great to have on your team, they'll be the ones continually bombarding you with the latest and greatest shiny. If you ever want to know if there's an off the shelf solution to your problem, they'll know the options, have tried two of them, and currently have a modified version of a third running on their raspberry pi.
The trouble with technologists is more technology is always the answer. Why have a HTTP listener when you can have a full stack application server? Why use plain old TCP when you can introduce an asynchronous messaging backbone? Why bother trying to deliver software when there's all these toys to play with!

NDS as Wi-Fi Repater?
The DS could act as both a wireless 802.11 device (WiFi) and as a repeater hub which means that you would not need a wireless router nearby to get online with DS - you'll just need another Nintendo NDS close enough to connect to, and he'll be able to connect you to someone just as close to him even if that person isn't so near to you, and so on. Potentially-huge networks of gamers could appear organically and play against one another regardless of pre-installed routers or proximity.

Former Senate President Charlie Rodriguez Speaks Out
On a recent visit to Washington, New Progressive Party (NPP) contender for his partys nomination for Resident Commissioner in 2004, former Puerto Rico Senate President Charlie Rodriguez, spoke to the Herald about his qualifications, aspirations and priorities should he be elected to the post. At the time of the interview, his only NPP opponent for the NPP November primary was Senator Miriam Ramirez. Subsequently, former Resident Commissioner Carlos Romero Barcelo and former Rosselló cabinet secretary Luis Fortuño entered the crowded race.
When Sen. Rodriguez announced for the post, he said he wished to be "the last Resident Commissioner in Puerto Ricos history." When asked what he meant by that statement, he told the Herald, "Puerto Rico has been a colony for too long a period, first of Spain, now the United States, and what I seek is that after my term as Resident Commissioner, I will be the last one because, after me, we will have six to seven Congressmen and two Senators representing the fifty-first state of Puerto Rico."
Excerpts of his interview follow:
"What we (the NPP leadership) plan to do - and Ive discussed this with Pedro Rosselló - is to change the way weve addressed the (political status) issue to the U.S. Congress. Many members of Congress have said, We want you people in Puerto Rico to decide what you want us to do and then come to us. Well, the way we seek to do that is by having a referendum in Puerto Rico, where the options will be yes or no. And the question poised to the (Puerto Rican) people would be, Do you favor federal legislation for a plebiscite sponsored by Congress where the options are non-colonial and constitutionally valid? and Im sure that the majority of the people will vote yes, because Statehooders always wanted non-colonial options. Even the Independence group has always wanted non-colonial options and the new leadership of the Popular Democratic Party is now calling for a non-colonial autonomy option. This (referendum) would be the expression of the people of Puerto Rico, held in a democratic fashion. This referendum should take place within the first year of Rosselló Administration and after that I would come to Congress and file a bill that Im sure will have a lot of co-sponsors (and will) start the ball rolling on a federally sponsored plebiscite for Puerto Rico."
"I was a member of the House in Puerto Rico and the Senate; I presided over the Senate in Puerto Rico. People know that my record speaks for itself. I was very active on legislation, I was very active in the Capitol and I will be also that way here, not only for achieving Statehood and for self-determination, but also for getting involved in national issues where all can see that we, Puerto Ricans, are not only here to ask for, but also to contribute to the nation in different efforts.
"(My principal qualification) is the experience that Ive had as a member of the (Puerto Rico) Legislature - eight years in the House and eight years in the Senate. I presided over the Senate of Puerto Rico, I know the legislative process, not only what people see on TV during the voting and debating, but the behind the scenes legislative process that takes place. In Congress, a lot takes place behind the scenes. Im very familiar with that (process).
"I have contacts among Congressional leaders and members of Congress from both national parties, Republicans and Democrats. I have always been willing to seek ways to build bridges between different groups in Puerto Rico, although I have always supported Statehood - and people know how firm I am in defending my status option - people know that on other issues that may help Puerto Rico, I will always be willing to seek a dialogue and consensus among the different factions in Puerto Rico.
"One of the things we need to do first is to win the election. And I think in order to win the election in Puerto Rico, the NPP has to attract, not only those voters who abandoned us in the election in 2000, but also seek the endorsement and support of those who are not affiliated but would be willing to vote for a candidate of the New Progressive Party if they thought that that person could do his job. I think of all the candidates that have been mentioned within the NPP Party, theres no one who could not only bring the experience, the leadership, but also be an attraction to those who are from other parties and will be willing to vote for us. Thats one of the things I think that will really help me in this election and then in Congress. I wont come to Congress to learn. Ive already learned how to do the legislative process."
"The first thing I have to say is that my wife and I already determined to move to Washington and obviously be here.
"Im going to be a very proactive Congressman for Puerto Rico, but also I intend to discuss national issues. I want people here on the mainland to see that we Puerto Ricans are a part of the Nation. (Just as) Texans, Californians, Hawaiians and people from Maine, we have concerns for our nation also. I think we need to participate in the national debate of different issues and I think this will be a change in the way that Puerto Rico is perceived once Ive come here to Congress and Pedro Rosselló (is elected.)
"The first thing we have to deal with in January 2005 is how we can maintain operating the two military bases we have, Roosevelt Roads and Fort Buchanan. A commission will be meeting in the summer of 2005 to recommend to Congress which bases should be closed. Right now, because of the way the Sila Calderon Administration has dealt with the federal government, our relations are in the worst condition ever in our history. We see that Roosevelt Roads is being dismantled and probably by January 2005 or by summer 2005 it will be difficult for the Congressional Committee to not determine to close it. So one of the things I have to do once (in Washington) is to let the government of the U.S. know that theres been a change in Puerto Rico, that we want to keep Roosevelt Roads open, as well as Fort Buchanan, not only for national defense and the drug interdiction that takes place from Roosevelt Roads, but also because of its importance for the economy of Puerto Rico and, above all, (the bases) are symbols of our relationship with the United States; symbols of the permanent union we seek with the United States.
"Thanks (to the work of) former Governor Pedro Rosselló, Puerto Ricans (who qualify) can receive up to $500 per child for those families who have over three children and are within the economic standards existing for the program. Right now, around a hundred thousand families in Puerto Rico are benefiting from that benefit, (totaling) some 150 million dollars (annually). I will fight strongly to see that Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is extended. We have elderly, handicapped and disabled who need to have that support from the federal government. If any of them took a plane and came to the 50 states they would be automatically enrolled in that program. But while theyre in Puerto Rico, they are treated unequally.
"The concept of separate but equal has been torn down in this country and I think that we have to do that (for Puerto Rico). As Senator Joseph Liberman said once, Puerto Rico is the unfinished business of democracy for the U.S. and something has to be done about it. "
"When you look at the history of (Resident Commissioners) in Congress, youll see that on occasions youve had a Republican like Baltasar Corrada del Rio during the Ferre Governorship who was a Republican (in a Democratic-held Congress), however he was able to bring to Puerto Rico its largest (federal) benefit, food stamps. Then you have Carlos Romero Barcelo (a Democrat) who for six of his eight years was under a Republican Congress and was able to achieve a lot for Puerto Rico. In my case, the way I see it is the following: I think its wrong (to be concerned) that I will be sitting with Democrats or with Republicans, because I am not elected by the Republican party, I am not elected by the Democratic party, I am elected by the New Progressive Party, the Statehood party. And within the Statehood party you have Democrats and you have Republicans. So I think it will be a mistake to come to Congress and say Im a Democrat or Im a Republican. If Im asked, (I will say) Im of the New Progressive Party. Statehood, which is my priority - to achieve the de-colonization process for Puerto Rico - does not have a last name. Statehood is not Republican. Statehood is not Democrat. Statehood is one word and we need the help of Republicans and we need the help of Democrats. And in that way I will be seeking their support and also helping the different leaders of the Congress regardless of what political party they may (represent)."

Last week an interview with Senator Miriam Ramirez appeared and interviews with other candidates for the office of Resident Commissioner will be published as they become available.

Birthday Dinner at Gram & Dun
Monday was my birthday and it was a great day. The daytime was pretty normal, Matt went to work in the morning so the kids and I went to the gym (which was so nice after not being able to go for the last week) we came home did lunch and during nap time i disregarded all the housework and just did some blog surfing. Probably one of the most exciting things of the day was when i realized that the tickets for Alt slc were on sale and only a few left and i got one! I'm so super excited to go in January! Did you know that if you go to google on your birthday it's a special birthday banner, and when you hover your mouse over it it says "Happy BirthdayAngela"? cool, right? i also loved the illustration in the email from RISD- cute right?! Matt came home early and my friend Ali came over at 4 so we could have an entire afternoon/evening to go shopping and eat. It was so fun. I haven't actually been shopping for myself for clothes in a long time and i had kind of forgotten how much i love to shop. crazy i know. New goal- make enough money so that i can have a good sized monthly clothing budget! Matt was so awesome and treated me to a shopping spree- 5 pair of pants, 6 shirts, 3 dresses & a pair of shoes! I would say it was a successful trip. 🙂 We ate on the plaza for dinner at Gram & Dun and it was amazing. seriously so good. See the review and more photos after the jump 🙂
When it's my birthday i don't hold back. As you can see we did our share of ordering at Gram & Dun on the plaza in Kansas City. I was so pleased with everything i put in my mouth, which is great because all you want on your birthday is to eat great food and not have to cook it, or at least thats what i want 🙂 We started with the Croque Madame Fondue an ahhhhmazing dish of brioche bread slices, fried egg, country ham all swimming in a gruyere fondue, talk about decadent and rich, Matt and i both agreed it would be a perfect brunch dish but we were sure glad it was on the appetizer menu because it was one of our favorite things of the night. We both had a salad, i went for the G&D small salad and Matt had the Jackson salad which had grilled romaine and was wonderful. Moving on to entrees our waitress recommended the loaded baked potato gnocchi, she said it was her favorite thing on the menu, and i can see why. It was out of this world good, seriously go get it, the fresh made gnocchi sit atop crispy potato skins and are perfectly coated in a creamy cheese sauce and sprinkled throughout with house-cured bacon, again its really, really good. The only thing that wasn't a winner was Matt's entree, the hanger steak, don't get me wrong he cleaned his plate but it just wasn't impressive and too spicy for his taste. We both ordered a dessert, which was probably a little much because we were already full, but its only your birthday once a year, right? We got the crack pie and the G&D bar, both were heavenly. I highly recommend Gram & Dun if you like to eat food. 🙂 Oh and the patio is so big and beautiful, its perfect for the weather that we've been enjoying and i'm sure we will continue to enjoy through september so go down and check it out!
I love birthdays- well besides the getting older part 🙂

9 There is a wide-open door for a great work here, although many oppose me. – I Cor 16
I tend to think that if the door is wide open, there is none who oppose me. That is simply not the case. Just because there is opposition, that does not mean the door is closed. People will always oppose me. They will oppose you. They will always try to stand in your way or drag you back down. As long as God is asking you to do things, as long as he is opening the door, I don't care who opposes me. Let the blind lead the blind. As long as there is an open door, I will take the opposition.
What about you? What is the door you are avoiding because of opposition?

No food after midnight, so I was bit hungry by noon. I checked in and was told to strip and put on a wrap-around gown, a kimono-style robe and some weird paper booties that were twice as long as they needed to be. The gown and robe were ginormous and hung over the tops of my feet. I felt like Dopey in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
The waiting room was full of people like me, gowned and robed and waiting. Directly across from me sat a man in his 60s. He had NO written in marker on his right knee. His gown barely covered the essentials. It was so short he kept tugging at it while looking furtively around, as if feeling guilty for exposing so much white thigh.
There was a guy with a huge grizzled beard and long hair who was peeping around the corner at me almost every time I looked up from my magazine. I don't know why but I seem to attract the attention of old hippies of the infrequently washed variety. Maybe it's my cat-clipper "do" and comfy shoes. They take one look and think, "Now there's a low-maintainence gal!" (They'd change their minds if they saw how much I eat.)
Anyway, here I am in the Day Surgery Waiting Room, with about 10 other apprehensive souls, shuffling through antique magazines. No one has a watch. Watches are contraband in surgical waiting rooms. What feels like an hour ticks by. One woman is called, and then the nurse calls my name. I start to gather my belongings and she waves me back into the chair.
"There's been an emergency. You've been pushed back to 3:00."
The room visibly exhales. I pick up my magazine and go back to looking at an article which assures me that I can stay young and beautiful well into my 30's. (That train left me at the station about 30 years ago.)
Why are there never any clocks in waiting rooms? Do they think the "waiters" would riot, seeing that time moves only at half-speed? I turn the pages of my magazine half-heartedly, one at a time, examining every page. The models all have long springy hair like burnished polyester rope, unnaturally white smiles, perkier than possible breasts and tight, taut, little bums. Their legs start just beneath the ribcage and go alllll the way to the ground. They are airbrushed and photoshopped, molded like so much hot plastic.
Now here are some really good articles which promise I can lose 10 pounds by the weekend, or look like a supermodel by flattening that tummy. Nothing said about the 50 extra pounds that has crept up on me with the stealth of a hungry cat, or what I should have done when I quit growing a full 14 inches short of "supermodel" height. It's enough to make a short, fat lady wear comfy shoes and cut her hair with the cat's clippers. And not give a flying flip if anyone likes it or not.
Hairy Man peeps around the corner and smiles. I duck my head and find myself reading about the juice of the miraculous purple Brazilian foo-foo ($135.50 for a 30 day supply.) If I had a pencil I could write down the address and order some. Hey! It promises a miracle, okay? If I could grow eight inches it would not only be a miracle but I'd only be 25 pounds overweight!
As I am trying to memorize the address to write for the Miraculous Brazilian Foo-Foo the nurse sticks her head in the door and calls my name again, "You're cancelled," she says. "Someone will call to rebook you."
Everyone looks at me with narrowed eyes. Are they envious, as they sit there waiting the slice of scalpel? I have been reprieved. Temporarily. Modern medicine is wonderful.

motivation & momentum
I believe in general that every experience is the perfect thing for my growth and learning to be experiencing in every moment, the new job is proving this. Every day is full of synchronicities and learning experiences (especially around the ins and outs of business) and I'm really enjoying interacting with the general public.
Also, even though I have less "free time" I'm getting more done outside of the office too.
Life is good. The energy is starting to really flow...
chin up beautiful ones
would you choose
fast ascension
with extra intensity
painful and pleasurable
relaxed enlightenment
no pain no strain
always in perfect happy grace ?
trick question!
it's not your choice
it's the former
because in this crucial crux in history
we all need to ramp up amp up
it's fastrack time
it's always worth the effort
and everything turns out better
than anyone can possibly imagine
hooray for flowers
I heard a great gardening tip today, which is apparently more common in Europe.
Plant crocus bulbs all over your lawn in the Autumn and in the Spring you'll get a little meadow of colour which dies down before the need to mow grass arises.
These early heralds of Spring are starting to pop up here in BC!

I am now working full time for the tax season doing tax returns and helping out an accountant with general office and computer things.
I'm learning about organizing money and really enjoying the challenge of it all. This is not something I expected.
When I really needed work, I asked the Universe for something that would teach me something I needed to know, where I would get along well with the people & they would love me, and would take care of my financial needs. I left what job it would be open to Divinity and voila! it appeared.
This is not what I'll do forever, however for now it's giving me momentum which is GREAT.
Soon it will start to get busy in tax return land (money is emotional for many people for many reasons) however I'm looking at it all as a way to practice the discipline of staying calm despite whatever forms/appearances arise.
you'll see it when you believe it
Today I went to a seminar on UFOs at my local public library. I'm so happy that such things are considered mainstream enough here for that to happen!
The presenter was soft spoken and scientific, simply relating the details of various sightings in British Columbia and the Yukon with no paranoid government "conspiracy" talk or even an attempt to prove any of the sightings were actually of extraterrestrial origin.
He came from this organization, don't judge them on their website design:
UFO*BC is a non-profit society registered with the province of British Columbia. The functions of the group are to gather local (BC and Yukon) sightings, investigate them as fully as possible, and to make the public aware of the phenomenon.
During the talk, I decided that I am going to be more open about talking about my views on UFOs and ETs and cease worrying that people will think I'm crazy. I also believe that in a few years, it will be normal and known by everyone that aliens are around, they're largely benevolent, and that they can help us with a lot of our problems (including global warming and the environment) as soon as we reach a certain level of consciousness (i.e. we stop being afraid) ala the prime directive.
When that happens remember that I was right ;)

I am discovering that singing is very important to me! I used to sing at the top of my lungs in the car every day however now I don't drive much and when I do I generally listen to wordless music.
I'm changing this and singing more and it's both cheering me up and healing my body!
Here's a sample of something I learned from both Lorne Mallin and David at Blue Lotus Music (the latter uses a different melody.)
keeping an eye on the Bush ranch?
Are there still people who believe that humanity is alone in the Universe?
It seems amazing to me, like still wanting to hold onto ideas of the Earth being flat!

He said, 'I was working and see this large object traveling at a very low rate of speed approximately 300 to 400 feet up in the air. He describes it to be approximately two to three football fields long. He described it to look something like a cigar with the ends both rounded off. He said he compared it sort of to a wing of a 747, but he said it was huge!

Object Change Listener
Since the question just poped up I would like to say something about Object Change Listener.
If you are developing within Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 (SP1 / R2) you have the possibility to use the new RoleTailoredClient (RTC). This RTC does not execute buisines logic anymore. The buisines logic is executet on the ServiceTier, a new service which came with NAV 2009.
When you develop objects within NAV 2009 and want to see them in RTC it can happen that your changes are not available. This is nothing new if you had more then one client developing in yout database before. But with RTC it does not solve the problem to restart your client. This is caused by the new architecture. Since the objects are called from servicetier you have to restart the servicetier instead.
Since in most cases there is only one servicetier for multiple RTClients, you do not want to do this to often.
Of course Microsoft knows about this and provides the object change listener to solve the problem.
The object change listener does no more but to watch the objects within the database and cause the servicetier to fetch the newest version of an object if it was changed.
There is an article available at MSDN how to enable the object change listener.
MSDN-Article: Activate Object Change Listener
If you want to know wether your Object Change Listener is activated for the current database you could have a look at the sys.databases-table. There is a field called is_broker_enabled which tells you the current status.

Many organisations are considering adopting SharePoint 2010, but the path to adoption is fraught with critical questions. Is SP right for you? Do you go with online or on-premise? Should you use a custom front? All of these questions will impact how you decide to proceed, and will have a dramatic effect on the timeframe and potential risks involved in an implementation. Andrew Walmsley is one of the most experienced SharePoint project managers in the field today. With his experience of companies of all sizes and sectors he is able to leverage his experience with every iteration of SharePoint to bring you the absolute best practice in SharePoint strategy. Andrew will comprehensively outline the considerations in a SharePoint adoption, and will point the way to a maximally effective delivery of the platform, enabling you not only to deliver the right platform but to deliver it with minimum risk and maximum return on your investment. This masterclass will be most relevant for heads of IT, KM, Communications, Intranets, Web, and all senior executives and board members who need to know what to consider when looking at a SharePoint adoption.
