I just down loaded a blogger ap to my iPad. Yes the one I have had for two years and never used. So bear with me as i experiment a little and catch you up on our life since we moved to The Farm house. I spent two months building a chicken coop. I find it hilarious that I thought I could have it done in a weekend. Dylan and Matt helped, while Chad did a lot of eye rolling. The chickens have moved in to one half of the coop. On the other side of the coop we have some really beautiful ornamental pheasants, chuck arms, pigeons and peacocks.

My body moves slower here, I hurry less and listen more. I find myself more inclined to watch and match the rhythms of the desert earth around me. This is my new home, I have only lived here a month, but when I close my eyes at night it feels like I have always been here, or maybe more like I was always meant to be here. I find something familiar awakening in my soul, the dirty, gritty, earthy part of me that was always being cleaned up for my other world.
Tonight I watched the pheasants get themselves ready for bed. Up on the perch back down, another peck of food they scurried around and then did it all over again. The lavender is in full bloom, the deer are eating in the field, the owl will soon be here to hunt and my soul is at rest.

Not home, after all
This is the first house we seen. I fell in love. Like madly in love. The mountain behind the house would be ours....who doesn't want there own mountain right? This could be it, the house we stay in, our last house, the one we have always knew we would move too. So our plans changed. We painted, fixed up, moved out and worked ourselves to the bone to get our house on the market. It would take a miracle to get this house, but it felt right....it felt SO VERY right. So we watched one miracle after another, little pieces kept falling into place that got us closer to making this our home.
Finally we were ready. Our house would be put on the market the next day, our home loan was figured out, and we had found homeowners insurance (tougher than you may think, as my agent put it "that home is a pile of tinder waiting to go up in smoke in the next wildfire that sweeps through the dessert"). One night we had drove by the home and spoke with the owner who had told us he would accept the $35,000 less than his asking price to put it firmly in our price range... all we had left to do was make the offer.
Devastated is an understatement, the night before we were ready to make an offer the house went under contract. Sometimes it is hard to accept that no matter how right something may feel it may not be meant for you. We decided to go with Plan B. We are firmly rooted in Plan B, as a matter of fact just a few days away from making it a reality, too far in too even think of turning back, too much to lose...... and so it goes the contract on this house fell trough, it was put back on the market. It won't be our home, but if things were different, just a few days this way or that it is the home that could have been.

Another one of those days....
Dylan is working at Destination XL in Murray. Today as I drove him to work I heard a horrible noise in the freeway. It sounded like metal hitting the underside of my car, yikes! By the time I had got him to work my tire had began an awful hissing noise and was quickly going flat. Arghhh just when you think you are so busy you can't possibly do any more you fund out you are going to have to. I couldn't have picked a more convenient time to not wear shoes.

Over the past couple of months I have been busily packing for our upcoming move. In the process I have also been going through boxes long since packed away and forgotten. This morning I came across the boxes that had all of those tender things from the first couple of years of my kids life. My kids got a kick out of seeing the little bitty baby booties they wore home from the hospital and the newspaper from the day they were each born. We also came across the journals I wrote for my kids when they were little. In the middle of how crazy things are right now we took the time to read them from start to finish. There is so many things I had forgotten, and little quirks that showed up in their personalities from the beginning included in those journals. I feel a little more committed to try blogging again, there is so much life I don't want to forget, the big things and the little things, I want to remember them all. With such a busy life I am going to try to write shorter quicker posts from my cell phone in the moments I can steal here and there while I wait.

Learn more about A Boy and His Blob:
|A retelling of the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) classic of the same name, A Boy and his Blob teams players with the unusual ally of a blob for single player, side-scrolling platformer and puzzle-solving fun. Using both the blob's ability to assume a number of different shapes and your skill at calling each out, together you set about saving the Blob's home of Blobolonia from the grasp of a enemy bent on domination.
When the distant world of Blobolonia is threatened by an evil and frightening emperor, one of its denizens, a being known as a blob, makes the world-changing decision to stand up for what is right. This brings about his journey to Earth in search of help for his world. Here he discovers two unexpected things, the friendship and loyalty of a young boy and an overwhelming love for jellybeans of various flavors. Both will prove important before this adventure is through. Help the blob dethrone the evil emperor that's terrorizing Blobolonia and establish a friendship with the blob that will last a lifetime.
A Boy and his Blob is a side-scrolling platformer that teams the player up with the game's namesake amorphous blob as you navigate 80 game levels that make up the dangerous terrain of Blobolonia and take on the baddies and bosses that are terrorizing it. Your main weapon in this is the power of the Blob to transform himself into a variety of useful forms. There are 15 of these, and all are initiated by specifically flavored jellybeans. Just a few of the flavor/forms that can be expected are Caramel Cannon, Bubble Gum Bouncer, Licorice Ladder, Apple Jack and Tangerine Trampoline. During gameplay the Blob's transformative powers are balanced by the relative weakness and limited movement of the boy, but it's through his hands, and the jellybeans he tosses, that the powers of the Blob reach their height.
"WayForward and Majesco have produced a top notch title that carries the spirit of the original game and brings in plenty of new material. Matthew Green, Kombo.com

An evacuation protocol exists in the event that a residence hall must be evacuated for an extended period of time. The evacuations of buildings are rare occurrences, but understanding what each person needs to do provides a mechanism for a smoother transition during an emergency.
The following are things you need to know to assist with a smooth evacuation:
- In any given situation where a building is deemed uninhabitable for an extended period of time by the Director of Facilities, ranking officer of Campus Police, Director of Residence Life and/or Shepherdstown Fire Department member, the occupants/residents will need to be evacuated.
- When a building must be evacuated, follow the directives of campus officials including those from Campus Police, Student Affairs, Residence Life, and Facilities Management. In many cases, the Shepherdstown Fire Department will also be providing directives. The fire department is in charge when on the scene of an incident.
- Report directly to the Student Center Storer Ballroom to check in with full-time staff and to receive additional information and directions. You are not required to stay in the Student Center after you have identified yourself and your plans while your building is evacuated.
- The University's main extension (304-876-5000) will have a brief message notifying callers of the incident and to report to the Student Center Storer Ballroom for updated information and assistance.
- The Student Center will have telephone lines and some staff will have cell phones for students to contact parents/emergency contact, if necessary.
- Should the Dining Hall be evacuated and uninhabitable, food service will be operational in the Student Center only.
- Staff in the Student Center will keep students and others abreast of the situation and students will be notified when the building has been cleared for re-entry

My House:
Our home is in Ozone Park, Queens, New York City. It was built in 1929 and the interior is nearly identical to the "Archie Bunker" style of house from the TV show All in The Family. The house has three bedrooms upstairs with a full bath. The main floor has a porch, dining room, living room, and kitchen. The basement is partly finished with a seven-foot ceiling.
My Puzzle:
I have been told our house is a Colonial and I have confirmed it has balloon frame construction.
What is it? The style is nothing like the Colonials as seen on the Web, but I can't find anything it truly resembles. If it is a Colonial, what type of colonial is it?
- Any info on the design or style is appreciated

Bickley: Here are 5 reasons to be optimistic about 2014 Arizona Cardinals on eve of free agency
Twelve years ago, the Cardinals changed divisions. The move was supposed to be liberating. Somehow, the new neighbors are even more aggravating.
The Seahawks are a budding dynasty, fresh off a 35-point win in the Super Bowl; the 49ers have played in the last three NFC championship games and are moving into a new stadium; the Rams own the No. 2 and No. 13 picks in the upcoming NFL Draft and might ultimately end up with all the amenities of playing in Los Angeles.

Welcome to TEDxKids@Phoenix!
Our inaugural conference, The Future We Can Build Together, will take place on Saturday, April 27, 2013, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm at the beautiful Phoenix Art Museum.
TEDxKids@Phoenix is a not-for-profit TEDx for youth. TEDx youth events present a combination of live speakers and TEDTalks to audiences around the world, vary widely in size, format, and theme, but share a common vision: inspiring curiosity, igniting new ideas, and empowering young leaders to positively affect the world, each in their own distinct way.
TEDxKids@Phoenix will bring together youth and educators from all over the valley for a one-day celebration of ideas and real-world advice from some of our community's most fascinating, innovative, and engaging people from the worlds of business, education, science, technology, and the arts.
In the spirit of "ideas worth spreading", TEDxKids@Phoenix will bring together the exceptional creativity and talent of our local community to inspire the next generation to imagine the world they wish to shape and a future they can build together.
What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx.
TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxKids@Phoenix, where x=independently organized TED event. At our TEDxKids@Phoenix event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.
The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
What is TED?
TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) is a global set of conferences owned by the private non-profit Sapling Foundation, formed to disseminate "ideas worth spreading.". TED was founded in 1984 as a one-off event. The annual conference began in 1990, in Monterey, California. TED's early emphasis was technology and design, consistent with its origins in the Silicon Valley.
The TED main conference is held annually in Long Beach, and its companion TEDActive is held in Palm Springs. Both conferences will move from Long Beach and Palm Springs to Vancouver and Whistler, respectively, in 2014. TED events are also held throughout the U.S. and in Europe and Asia, offering live streaming of the talks. They address a wide range of topics within the research and practice of science and culture, often through storytelling. The speakers are given a maximum of 18 minutes to present their ideas in the most innovative and engaging ways they can. Past presenters include Bill Clinton, Jane Goodall, Malcolm Gladwell, Al Gore, Gordon Brown, Richard Dawkins, Bill Gates, Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, and many Nobel Prize winners.
Since June 2006, the talks have been offered for free viewing online, through TED.com. There are now over 1,450 talks are available free online. On Tuesday November 13, 2012, TED Talks had been watched one billion times worldwide, reflecting a still growing global audience.

First published in 1868, Moonstone is considered the first modern English detective novel. Stolen from the forehead of a Hindu idol, the dazzling gem known as "The Moonstone" resurfaces at a birthday party in an English country home–with an enigmatic trio of watchful Brahmins hot on its trail. Laced with superstitions, suspicion, humor, and romance, this 1868 mystery draws readers into a compelling tale with twists and turns ranging from sleepwalking to experimentation with opium. The suspense and drama is heightened as the narrative passes from one colorful character to the next. Wilkie Collins' masterpiece is particularly distinguished by the appearance of Sergeant Cuff, a prototype of the English detective hero and the harbinger of a popular tradition of sleuthing.
203,750 words, with a reading time of ~ 12 hours (~ 815 pages), and first published in 1868. This DRM-Free edition published by epubBooks, 2009.
There are currently no other reviews for this book.
Extracted from a Family Paper
I address these lines—written in India—to my relatives in England.
My object is to explain the motive which has induced me to refuse the right hand of friendship to my cousin, John Herncastle. The reserve which I have hitherto maintained in this matter has been misinterpreted by members of my family whose good opinion I cannot consent to forfeit. I request them to suspend their decision until they have read my narrative. And I declare, on my word of honour, that what I am now about to write is, strictly and literally, the truth.
The private difference between my cousin and me took its rise in a great public event in which we were both concerned—the storming of Seringapatam, under General Baird, on the 4th of May, 1799.
In order that the circumstances may be clearly understood, I must revert for a moment to the period before the assault, and to the stories current in our camp of the treasure in jewels and gold stored up in the Palace of Seringapatam.

Rated 1 out of 5Â by estelove disapointed the color of the bag i received is not the same that the picture ,it is a military green and the color on the bottom and the handle is also green , no difference. it is therefore really plain and too expensive ( ++ the fees and taxes for international buyers) not great.. 5.13.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by californiasun Looks different than the picture. Received this today, and I don't know if I received a different color than is shown on the website or what. The bag I received is a dark army green with a creamy ivory printed design. The label on the plastic bag it came in calls it "Grey." It is definitely not the tan or "Stone" color shown on the site, with what looked like a gold design to me. It's unlined with only the zipper pocket accessible from the outside. It's kind of like a small duffel bag. It's okay, but not what I was expecting. And, I'm sorry, but it seems a bit pricey for what it is. 4.6.2013

Families of Lebanese kidnapped in Syria protest outside the Qatari Embassy in Ain al-Tineh, Thursday, Jan. 10, 2013. (The Daily Star/Hasan Shaaban)
BEIRUT: Interior Minister Marwan Charbel quoted Friday Turkish officials as saying the head of the group behind the kidnapping of a Lebanese group in Syria in 2012 has been killed. But a mediator in the case denied Abu Ibrahim is dead.
"I have received information from the Turkish side that Abu Ibrahim has been killed and that Abu Jaser has replaced him," Charbel was quoted as telling a delegation from Lebanon's Journalists Syndicate.
He added that Abu Ibrahim died as a result of wounds.
Charbel said contacts are still ongoing with Turkey in order to resolve the case of the kidnapped Lebanese.
However, a mediator involved in the case of the kidnapped pilgrims who spoke to The Daily Star on condition of anonymity said Abu Ibrahim was still alive.
"He is not dead. He is wounded but he is still alive," the mediator said, adding that the Abu Ibrahim periodically "played dead" in order to alleviate pressure on him to release the Lebanese Shiites.
News of Abu Ibrahim's death surfaced in recent days when the Free Syrian Army allegedly attacked Azaz where the Lebanese are thought to be held.
The source, who described Abu Ibrahim as flaky, said the kidnapper has yet to outline specific demands for the return of the Lebanese.
"Sometimes Abu Ibrahim says he is holding the Lebanese because he wants money and at other times he claims it is for sectarian reasons," the mediator said.
Eleven Lebanese were kidnapped by a rebel group on May 22, 2012, in the Syrian district of Aleppo after crossing from Turkey, returning from a pilgrimage to Iran. Two of the group were released in late 2012.
The mediator said the Free Syrian Army had launched an attack to free the pilgrims and that Abu Ibrahim was constantly relocating the group in Azaz, Aleppo.
However, the mediator said the pilgrims were in good health.
Also Friday, President Michel Sleiman sought clarification as to whether there was a link between a Syrian Army defector who is in the custody of Lebanese officials and the 2012 abduction of Lebanese pilgrims in Syria.
"[The president] asked General Security head Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim to investigate the validity of media reports that there is a link between Syrian Lt. Mohammad Tlas and the kidnapping of Lebanese in Azaz and what he [Tlas] has information about this issue," according to Sleiman's office.
Lebanon's Military Tribunal has ordered the deportation of Tlas, a defector from the Syrian military who was sentenced earlier this week in Lebanon to two months in prison and fined for illegally entering the country.
However, Lebanon's interior minister said Wednesday that the deportation was unlikely to take place.
According to a security source, Tlas has yet to be handed over to General Security, the security apparatus responsible for returning him to Syria.
"Political considerations" would likely block such a move, the security source, who spoke to The Daily Star on condition of anonymity Wednesday, added.
Sleiman said Thursday that there are instructions against deporting any Syrian back to their country in line with the Human Rights Declaration.
Qatar has recently appointed an official to follow up on the case of the kidnapped men. The appointment came after Lebanese officials traveled to Doha and appealed for help given the Arab state's close ties with the Syrian opposition.
Turkey has said that it is exerting efforts to secure the release of the kidnapped and has described the case as "sensitive."
According to the statement Friday, Sleiman and Ibrahim also discussed the required means to secure the return of the nine pilgrims who remain captives in the Syrian border town.

Spain's Repsol throws in the towel, completely pulls out of dry Cuba
Spanish oil company Repsol has finally thrown in the towel and given up on oil exploration in dry Cuba. It seems it took the oil giant a few years to realize that 1) Cuba does not have any appreciable oil reserves, and 2) that even if they did, the Castro dictatorship could and probably would expropriate the fruits of their labor and rip them off.
Via IFA Magazine:
Repsol gives up Cuban plans
Repsol has given up its plans for Cuba after oil drilling operations failed in 2012 and after the Cuban government showed support to Argentina's decision to nationalise former subsidiary YPF, according to Spanish daily El Economista.
The decision also eliminates some of the reservations that the United States held against Repsol's exploration projects and has the potential to improve relations towards possible acquisitions in the country.
Repsol is reportedly shopping for a North American oil company and could be looking to invest up to EUR15bn in the United States and Canada.
There has been no response yet from the "Cuba Experts" who not that long ago were swearing that Cuba was well on its way to becoming the Saudi Arabia of the Caribbean. And naturally, because of the U.S.'s "archaic" and "Cold War relic" policy towards the repressive apartheid dictatorship of the Castro family, we were going to miss out on all the action .

Whenever people start discussing excess weight, they compare balloons. Balloons fed with lasagne and cookies daily turn into the type that could float a deck chair while diet and exercise turn them into the sad, deflated type you see on the wall two-weeks after a birthday party. If fat cells really were balloons, the lipolysis treatments would be like that little kid with a mean-streak and a sewing pin, popping all of them and, with more benefits than a holiday in the Bahamas, lipolysis is far preferable to letting a toddler treat you like a pin-cushion.
By treating your fat cell like plates at a Greek wedding, the low-frequency ultrasound treatment does more than just help you shed unwanted kilograms. Using top of the range technology like something out of a Bond movie and highly professional therapists, you can contour your body without spending three hours a day in the gym. Almost instantaneously, the quick treatment gives cellulite the metaphorical boot and simultaneously tones the body. While one treatment will have long-lasting body contouring results, whoever said less is more has obviously never seen the results of three lipolysis treatments, which can take inches from whichever area of the body you choose.
You don't doctors with sharp objects or anaesthetic that leaves you woozy for days, so the minute you walk out of the trendy clinic you'll be able to enjoy the feeling of being inches smaller.
Top it off with lymph drainage to increase lymph and blood circulation and provide even more contouring, and it's like three months in the gym crammed into three hours.
FM Fact: A radio station in the Cayman Islands is claiming that their solid gold radio-towers can actually improve metabolism and help listeners lose weight, but only if they tune in at 3am.

Liberia has finally become a proud beneficiary owing to months of a steady negotiation process at the behest of Liberia Civil Aviation Authority (LCAA) as a result of which Delta Air Lines has finally agreed to conduct a land mark pro bono test validation of the design of an RNAV GPS approach for Roberts International Airport (RIA).
Delta Air Lines generous approval came through a communication dated June 9, 2012, which was addressed to the Director General of the Liberia Civil Aviation Authority, Richelieu A. Williams, and signed by Randy Rohan; Manager - Flight Operations (Africa, Asia/Europe), under the oversight of the Chief Technical Pilot - Delta Technical Pilot - Navigation is approved by the Federal Aviation Administration of the United Sates Government to design RNAV GPS approaches.
The letter clearly put: "In partnership between Delta and the Liberia CAA, we agreed to assist in the development of this approach. It is our desire that once Delta completes all steps of the design process, we will turn the approach over to the Liberia CAA for review and approval and then publish it in their Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) for use by all carriers operating into Monrovia".
According to Delta Air Lines, the process will entail Instrument Flight Procedure Validation (IFPV) of Satellite Based Instrument Flight Procedure (IFP). Stage one shall involve IFVP Preflight Validation Process during which "Required Actions Prior to Airborne and or Simulator Evaluation obtains.
Richelieu Williams - Liberia Civil Aviation Director and an Executive of Delta Airlines
This will be followed by Obstacle Assessment and will ensure Obstacle Assessment Overview; Equipment for Obstacle Assessments; Ground Obstacle Data Sources; Ground Obstacle Assessment Process; and Airborne Obstacle Assessment. The next stage under Flight Validation Program covers Flight Validation Process and Post Flight Validation Activities.
Delta Air Lines is also partnering with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) SO&I African office in Johannesburg as part of a broader initiative to advance the use of Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) within Africa and this project aligns with those goals.
Delta Air Lines will utilize 767ER aircraft from Accra to Monrovia with only technicians on board led by a Chief Technical Pilot and return for the purpose of Flight Validation on the RNAV (GPS) procedures into Monrovia.
The flight testing procedures to be carried out will involve a total of six full instrument approaches to collect data along with terrain and obstacle clearance identification.
This data will be installed into of a flight simulator in Atlanta and flown to complete the design phase. It will later be sent to the FAA for review and clearance following which LCAA will give final approval to be published in the AIP for use in Liberia's airspace by all airlines arriving and departing RIA in keeping with Liberia's obligations and responsibilities to the International Civil Aviation Organization (IACO).
Receiving such major relieving news from a major American carrier for a cost-intensive initiative at no cost to the Government of Liberia, the Director General of the Liberia Civil Aviation Authority; Hon. Richelieu A. Williams commended Delta Air Lines for embarking on such invaluable and monumental technological project. He noted that when completed, pilots will effectively land and take-off with precision.
Mr. Williams described Delta initiative as a meaningful and monumental commitment to the development of hi-tech in civil aviation. Director Williams said the pages of history book will remember Delta's name, as a true, formidable, significant and genuine partner whose partnership is bound to tremendously impact the promotion and transformation to civil aviation in Liberia.
In a jubilant mood, Mr. Williams added that it was a new day for Liberia and the aviation sector and expressed the hope that others will be inspired by the Delta's contribution to boost the civil aviation in the country.
The Director General however commended Ms. Boo Brewer of Delta Air Lines Monrovia office for her steadfastness, and resilience occasioned by consistent follow-ups at every level leading to the final realization of the test validation of the GPS approach for the country only international airport.
Graciously, the Liberia CAA has already granted authorization and clearance to Delta to proceed with flight testing of Global Positioning System Approaches of the Roberts International Airport. Mr. Williams termed this very important development as the dawn of a new beginning in LCAA-Delta relations aimed at working together in the best of Liberia.
Given its precision approach capability, the GPS procedures when established and published for Robertsfield will allow all aircraft to land even when the visibility is lower than one nautical mile. As a boost to RIA, this also puts the airport in the position to be used as an alternate when the weather is bad at other airports in the region or when there is equipment failure.
Aviation experts have confirmed that this intervention by Delta Air Lines will constitute a significant cost-saving for the Liberian government due to the elimination of acquiring and maintenance cost associated with older and more expensive ground-based navigational aids including NDB, DVOR, DME and most Category 1 ILS equipment over Satellite Based Equipment. It also represents fuel-saving for airlines due to direct routing flown during positioning for approaches to land.
Although FPA sees this as a feather in the cap of the LCAA; we shall endeavor in our next edition to find out how safe are Liberia's skies in light of recent accidents in Nigeria and Ghana amid the huge death tolls.

Product Description
In November of 1969,
Apollo 12
Charles "Pete" Conrad
recorded this masterpiece while documenting colleague
Alan Bean's
lunar soil collection activities on the
Oceanus Procellarum
The image is
dramatic and stark
. The harsh environment of the Moon's Ocean of Storms is echoed in Bean's helmet, a perfectly
composed reflection
of Conrad and
the lunar horizon
Is it art?
Works of photojournalists originally intent on recording the human condition on planet Earth, such as
Lewis W. Hine's
images from New York City in the early 20th century, or
Margaret Bourke-White's
magazine photography are widely regarded as art.
Similarly many documentary astronomy and
space images
can be appreciated for their artistic and
esthetic appeal

Literary, Cultural, and Disability Studies: A Tripartite Approach to Postcolonialism
Date: 1 June 2009 Time: 10.00-15.30 pm
SEMINAR INVITATION: This is the first seminar in the series Literary, Cultural, & Disability Studies: A Tripartite Approach to Criticism & Theory, funded by the Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences and the Centre for Disability Research, chaired by Professor Carol Thomas, and organised by Hannah Morgan and Dr. David Bolt at Lancaster University.
DATE: Monday 1 June 2009.
PLACE: Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS) - building 17 on the campus map
GUEST SPEAKERS:Dr. Clare Barker andDr. Stuart Murray (University of Leeds).
PAPER PRESENTATION: If you would like to present a paper about disability and postcolonialism, please send a proposal (250 words max) by email on or before 1 March 2009 to Dr. Bolt (email@example.com).>
REGISTRATION: To register for the seminar, please contact Dr. Bolt (firstname.lastname@example.com) by 1 April 2009. Lancaster attendees will be given priority.
PURPOSE: The reading lists of literary and cultural studies departments throughout the world are abundant with primary texts that represent disability in one way or another. Yet few of these departments approach the primary texts from a perspective that is informed by disability studies. Unlike the conceptually comparable constructs of ethnicity, gender, class, and sexuality, those of disability are generally deemed beyond the scope of literary and cultural studies.
The seminar will contribute to the discourse around the modernisation of this taxonomy by demonstrating the value of literary and cultural criticism and theory that are informed by the discipline of disability studies.
In a recent CFP for a forthcoming special issue of Journal of Literary & Cultural Disability Studies - namely, Disabling Postcolonialism - the guest editors Dr. Barker and Dr. Murray asserted that from the "hysteria of Conrad's Congo to the 'creative schizophrenia' of Michael Gilkes' Caribbean, and from the severance of India's national 'body' at Partition to the fatal brokenness of 'dying' indigenous communities, cultural and literary representations insistently figure postcolonial spaces and moments in terms of disablement, lack and a difference produced by a conception of absence." Yet this state of affairs is largely unrecognised in postcolonial theory and criticism.
The seminar will take inspiration from Dr. Barker and Dr. Murray's approach to this puzzle by interrogating the "critical interface between disability and postcolonial studies," the contention being that disability "potentially stresses the material and located nature of postcolonial cultures and emphasises the embodied nature of agency and community." In keeping with the aims of the series, we will explore the relevance and value of disability studies to the discipline of postcolonial studies and vice versa.

So, I've been quilting lately again… we've talked about this, right? So, I'm super excited to finally have finished a quilt! Right!!?? It's super satisfying and it was a nice change of pace from the big quilts for the youngins. My friend had a baby recently and she's been super good to me. I mean, she's just one of those people that you want to put in your pocket and bring out when you need a good laugh or an encouraging word. She's hosted many sewing classes as well, so I was so happy to get to make this for the new man in her life. She appeared to like it, so I'm going to go with it was a hit!
These squares were super fun to make and they are really small. Everything is cuter small in sewing. These blocks are just 5″ squares. So, fun, right!? It's finished size is about 40″ish square
I love this polka dot fabric for the binding. It adds some character.
Would you believe I didn't get a picture of the back!?… of course you would. You know me too well. It's just one piece of fabric… nothing terribly fun, but it was a fun fabric. You'll just have to trust me. I went with a simple box straight line quilting. I think it really adds to the design. It felt good to finish a quilt.
Show and tell is over for now! Back the the Olympics you go! I'll be back later for more!

We May Never Be Done With Bruce Arians
Those who staunchly defend Arians say he is unfairly scapegoated for the team's failings and that the offense improved this season over the previous year. Both these statements are true. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean he should have kept his job.
The Steelers were the 7th ranked offense in the NFL this season in terms of yardage. Pretty good, right? Sure is. 4,000 passing yards for Big Ben! Two 1,000 yard receivers! A 1,000 yard rusher! Great success!
That ranking, however, dips a bit when it comes to scoring points - which is slightly more important than yardage - to a just okay 12th. Which makes sense when you see that they were 22nd in the league terms of touchdown percentage inside the red zone. A primarily passing team, which the Steelers are unmistakably under Arians, is generally going to have it harder inside the red zone, simply because there is less space for defensive backs to have to defend. Also because Arians often doesn't even bother to try running once the team gets there.
Where Arians did well this season was in game preparation and play scripting. In all but a few games, they came out of the tunnel with a good offensive surge to carry them through most of the first half. The problem is, when teams adjusted to what the Steelers were doing, the attack fell apart, or the offense went into panic mode where it tried to do too much at once. Only against San Diego and Green Bay did it seem like the unit kept momentum throughout an entire game. And only against Denver did they play better in the second half than the first.
How many times did the team needlessly try to pick up huge chunks in desperation when they had ample time to work the entire field? The final drive in the second game against the Bengals is a prime example. All the receivers running streaking routes down the field while the pass rush tees off on Big Ben before any of them have a chance to get open. Or even this week against Miami, when starting with the ball around the opponent's 40, Arians calls a gimmick play that calls for Santonio Holmes to throw deep. Granted it's one of those plays that's called inspired if it works, but Miami read it out easily and Holmes was picked after chucking the ball deep into double coverage.
Too often the offense is in home run mode. This might be a reflection of Roethlisberger's approach as much as Arians', but the offensive coordinator certainly does nothing to dissuade his QB from doing that. In fact, some of the quotes from Arians in regard to Big Ben are disturbing. He's said repeatedly that he doesn't want to try to change any facets of Roethlisberger's game. Big Ben had a great year, the second time he's finished with a QB rating north of 100, but he's not perfect either. He occasionally needs someone to remind him to try to get everything on one play. That taking checkdowns on roll outs or throwing the ball away is okay.
Hopefully Larry Zierlein's successor gets improved enough play out of the offensive line that the Arians doesn't feel the need to go five-wide on 2nd and 2 or only run in the red zone as a change of pace. What's done is done and for now, we can only hope that an improved season out of Arians is part of an upward trajectory. I obviously thought not if I've been advocating for his ouster, but I trust in the organization and Mike Tomlin that he's the best option for the offense going forward.

Plenty of time to dial up some sick new 5-second developing crossing patterns. Sheeeeeiiiittttt.
Noooooooooooooooo. I want our running game back. I got Madden 10 for x-mas and lo and behold if you use the steelers playbook it's pass heavy, your running game sucks and Ben gets sacked mostly from his left side. God Damn it. If a video game that came out in August gets it why can't the Steelers front office?

I think we should all be positive about this. Remember that one time we won a game. Only person who can take credit is Bruce. Why? Because we SCORED MORE POINTS than the other team. I think none of you understand that he is amazing... Just amazing. Like the way he will almost ALWAYS call a run up the middle on first down when we are between the 30's. I mean, like EVERY FIRST DOWN. Or the way we converted a solid 36.4% of 3rd downs! THAT IS WHERE IT'S AT!!!

Or the first play of every game is a receiver screen. It's like his calling card. A guaranteed two-yard gain to start things off.
Don't forget a gameplan based on shotgun four- and five-receiver sets when you're playing in Cleveland with 35 mph winds.
/more drinking
and with zierlein gone, who'se going to send porn to dan rooney?
Worse is because of the defensive limitations this past season he'd revert to turtling the running game to kill clock in way too obvious situations when the offense was actually moving the ball with some balance.
We watch all the games, and watch them only once. We all know what kind of plays he's runs in certain situations. I'm surprised the offense was as successful as it was with D-Coordinators studying tape for a week before games.
- Spatula said...
I keep reading the argument that the NFL rules have changed so much that the Steelers must abandon the run and focus on the passing game. While the NFL has made significant (bullshit) changes over the years, what specific, major change happened after last year's Super Bowl to so radically change the offensive philosophy of the Steelers? I don't know of any significant rules change. I think this is simply justification for Arians' spray-and-pray philosophy.

Art as political tool
The symbiosis of artistic expression, political power and affirmation of the principles of the Counter-Reformation varies to great extent throughout Europe.
The symbiosis of artistic expression, political power and affirmation of the principles of the Counter-Reformation varies to great extent throughout Europe, particularly in relation to the spread of the Baroque.
In Croatia, where the Jesuits arrived in 1606, maintaining close ties with Italian culture (together with the Pauline Fathers), the Protestant Reformation, although supported by a section of the nobility, never became deeply rooted. The Baroque style finally spread after the great victory in Vienna over the Turks (1683), who had occupied a large part of Croatia and Slavonia since the 15th century.
In Rome, the same perception of urban space, as well as the appearance of buildings and a new iconography in painting cycles embodied the expression of the reigning pontiff's patronage and power. During the 17th century the city was transformed through the use of unusual visual perspective, which gave monuments new visual and symbolic meanings.

The Boise State men's basketball team continues its break from conference play as the Broncos play host to UC Davis in this year's ESPN BracketBuster match-up. The game is scheduled for Saturday evening, with a tip-time of 7:05 p.m. (MT).
This season, the Broncos have found great fortune in their nonconference games, owning a record of 10-4 against opponents outside of the WAC. On the flip side of things, the Aggies have struggled outside of the friendly confines of the Big West as they have won just four nonconference games, with an overall record of 4-9 outside of league play.
In addition to their impressive record outside of league play, the Broncos have the advantage of playing on their home floor. While Boise State is just 7-6 at home this season, they are 6-1 at home when playing an opponent outside of the WAC conference.
Catch up on some quality family time by making it to Family Night at Bronco Basketball this Saturday night (Feb. 20th). It's a steal of a deal as $35 gets you four tickets to the game, four hot dogs and four cokes. That's right, it's not a typo, you get tickets and feed the whole crew for just $35. Just visit the box office on the night of the game or visit any select-a-seat outlet. Or, pre-order your tickets in order to go right to the entrance Saturday night by visiting www.idahotickets.com.
About UC Davis ...
Saturday's game will be the third straight road game for UC Davis, which plays five of its final seven regular season games on the road.
Mark Payne is third in the Big West in scoring (16.4 ppg) and leads the conference in steals (2.42 spg). He is just 97 points shy of 1,000 for his career. He did not play on Feb. 10 against Pacific due to illness and is out indefinitely.
UC Davis entered the week in a three-way tie for fourth place in the Big West with Cal Poly and Long Beach State.
Earlier this season, senior Dominic Calegari became the 16th Aggie to reach 1,000 career points. He moved past the milestone on Jan. 14 in his 100th career game. Junior Mark Payne is now just 97 points away from the same scoring plateau. In addition, Payne reached 400 career rebounds on Feb. 4 against Cal Poly.
Through 25 games, an Aggie has scored 20 or more points 17 times. Dominic Calegari leads the squad with nine such performances. Mark Payne has done it six times. Last year, UC Davis had a total of 15 such accomplishments in its 32 games. It was done nine times in 2007-08.
Joe Harden leads UC Davis with six double-doubles on the year and is tied for second in the Big West. He posted the first two at the BTI Tip-Off in mid-November before doing it again in three straight games from Dec. 22 through Jan. 2. His latest double-double came on Feb. 6 against UC Santa Barbara with 19 points and 12 rebounds.
A total of nine Aggies have scored in double figures at least once this season. Dominic Calegari leads the group with 21 such performances while Joe Harden 18 double-digit games, while Mark Payne has 18 double-figure games.

Boise State in the Big West Conference: Prior to joining the Western Athletic Conference for the 2001-02 season, Boise State spent five seasons as a member of the Big West Conference ...

Cummins and Tata Expand Indian Diesel Engine Production
27 January 2006
|The Cummins ISB
Cummins and India-based Tata Motors have signed an agreement that will allow their joint venture in India, Tata Cummins Ltd. (TCL), to begin manufacturing the ISB diesel engine in the near future.
TCL currently produces approximately 69,000 Cummins B Series engines a year. Under the agreement, TCL will increase its total engine production to 100,000 units within two years and 120,000 units thereafter. The engines produced by TCL will meet Euro-2, Euro-3 and Euro-4 standards for diesel emissions.
The Cummins ISB engines, which range from 185 hp to 275 hp, are based on the B-series platform (3+ million in operation worldwide). The ISB features a cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system and variable geometry turbocharger on ratings of 245 hp and higher. Fuel economy is up to 2% better than its predecessor.
India began implementing mass emission limits for vehicles in the early 1990s. Since 2000, India has started adopting the Euro emission and fuel regulations for four-wheeled light-duty and for heavy-duty vehicles.
On the light-duty vehicle side, Euro 2 is mandated nationwide, with Euro 3 standards required in the national capital area (NCR) and 10 of the major cities; Euro 3 will be required nationwide by 2010. For the NCR and 10 major cities, Euro 4 will be required by 2010.
Heavy-duty trucks and buses currently need only met Euro-2 standards nationwide, with an upgrade to Euro 3 in 2010.
The estimated $60 million needed for the expansion will be funded by TCL's ongoing cash flow and joint venture debt.
Formed in 1992, TCL has been a successful joint venture between the two companies and manufactures the Cummins B Series engines in India for use in trucks manufactured by Tata Motors (TML), as well as sales by Cummins in India to other applications and OEMs.
TML is the largest truck producer in India, with a market share of between 60 and 70%. The Cummins B Series engines power more than half of those trucks. In addition, the B Series captured a 37% share of the overall Indian medium and heavy commercial vehicle engine market in 2004.

There's got to be a way to get our own American companies overseas divisions to produce Euro 4 diesels (or better) instead of Euro 2 and 3. The pollution is a continued disaster for the host country's population. All it would take is a LITTLE more investment on the part of the buyer; and a CONSCIENCE on the part of the governments and Cummins. But I guess that's too much to ask.
My company offers technology to help produce cleaner engines. I think the problems arise from the companies and or countries not wanting to allocate the funds to purchase the equipment. Unfortunately the bottom line still rules, world wide it appears.

Any kind and funny men out there ?
I am looking for my other half who can be my best friend, someone I can share absolutely everything with and vice a versa. Imagine what an amazing feeling that is when you fall in love with your best friend! I desire to be romantic and passionate with him all the time. I want to feel excited whenever I am with him and I want to look forward to seeing him everyday when he comes home. When he's not around, I feel his virtual presence and it's transcendentally telepathic. I know it sounds very idealistic but if two people put the efforts into the relationship and cherish it, i don't see how that can't be possible! I don't want to meet people in quantity but rather in quality. I don't serial date and I hope you are not a serial dater either. I am not picky as i am not perfect myself but i am selective. I am not looking for a perfect person but i am looking for a perfect relationship: a friend/partner/lover. I am not asking for anything i can't offer. If you are fun and funny, kind, unselfish, ethical, honest, loyal, understanding, empathetic, confident, intelligent, energetic, educated, conversational, tall and somewhat attractive (not necessarily to others, just to me :-D ), we would probably be an ideal for each other (like i said, i wouldn't mention these if I couldn't offer the same). I am attracted to men with substance, who can carry out intelligent and stimulating conversations with occasional wittiness if not always. It's a bonus if you love animals too because I am an animal lover, that's for sure. I know my wisdom, intelligence, personality, and a funny-as-hell sense of humor can keep you interested at all time. Everyday is an interesting day and i know I can put a big smile on your face always, I promise! However, I do like that to be mutual. We make each other LOL and keep each other happy, how does that sound? (bonus: I am the biggest jokester and I can tell really good jokes) Honesty is a must. I am extremely loyal and i hope that the person i am with is the same way with me. I am not looking for casual dating, rather I want a meaningful LTR, so if anyone just wants to play around, or fabricates his profile or whatever after that, please do not contact me. Please tell no lies because the truth always prevails, well with one exception, if you lie about your age for a better search purpose on this site, let me know right away as I will understand. I look exactly like these photos in person, not a day older. Btw, some of my photos here are as recent as last month's. Unless you write something, "winks" and "favorites" won't be replied ! :-) Now your turn.....

You nay-sayers are kidding right? KTM announces a 125 Duke and you beg for a 250cc version. Honda gives it to you, and you pan it. No wonder we don't get many of the smaller, cool bikes in the US (despite our lack of a tiered licensing system). Yes, I like the VTR-250 V-twin. I'd buy one of those, too. The CBR-250RR in-line four cylinder was a GP race bike with a license plate. Very cool collectable, and maybe a good track training motorcycle, but hardly useful for US roads.
By the way, no one pans the R1-derived single in the Yamaha WR-250R/X. And the WR-250X does quite well on US roads (all of them). It has a great torque curve.
Get real. We need the choices in smaller motorcycles in the US. The price of gasoline will go up again - it is a limited resource. I want to see where Honda puts the price point and the quality of the suspension. I want to see where my insurance company prices coverage for it. And I don't think it is about competition for the 650 class; it is about choices. If we don't buy them, no others will be forthcoming.
