LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Not only was Shayanna Jenkins indicted today but also Tanya Singleton. Shayanna Jenkins, Aaron Hernandez girlfriend and fiancee (photos below), and Tanya Singleton, Aaron Hernandez's cousin, were indicted by a grand jury for two very different charges this month. Both stem from the Odin Lloyd case, however. But who exactly is Tanya Cummings Singleton?
Shayanna Jenkins (Facebook account photos below) allegedly gave false testimony during investigation of the Odin Lloyd case. Jenkins has been indicted on perjury. Singleton, in turn, has been indicted for conspiracy to accessory after the fact.

Prosecutors are not revealing what alleged false testimony was given by Shayanna Jenkins. But during her questioning by police, Jenkins told investigators that Odin Lloyd was a marijuana dealer and smoke marijuana. As reported previously on LALATE, local news has since verified those allegations about Lloyd as being false.
Police were attentive to a FEG Hungarian rifle in a gym bag recovered from the Hernandez home during this first day of questioning. Hernandez's palm print is on that rifle. But the weapon was not used in the killing of Odin Lloyd. As previously reported on LALATE, the murder weapon has not been recovered. But a magazine fitting the murder weapon's make and model was recovered from the Hernandez Hummer SUV parked outside his rented condo. Police recovered at least one .45 caliber shell casing in the case.
But who is Tanya Singleton? She lived with Ernest Wallace, a Hernandez associated charged in the Odin Lloyd murder. Tanya's husband is Thaddeus Singleton III.

Police wanted to question Thaddeus about the Lloyd murder. Police believed that Thaddeus had witness information pertaining to Hernandez's alleged connection to the murder. But Thaddeus Singleton III died in a car crash just hours before police were going to speak to him.

While in court in July, ABC news reporters approached Tanya and Jenkins. When sought for comment in the hallway, Singleton fumed "I am not talking about it." Jenkins then allegedly tried to shield Tanya from news reporters. She fumed "Get away from us. We're not talking."
In August Tanya Singleton was arrested. Thereafter Bristol District Attorney Sam Sutter's spokesman refused to comment about Singleton's arrest.

Despite a one year hiatus, Everett Golson is back as Notre Dame's starting quarterback. After Wednesday morning's practice, Brian Kelly announced that the Golson will be the starting during the post practice press conference.
When Golson takes the field against Rice on August 30, it will be his first game action since the loss to Alabama in the 2012 BCS title game. As a Freshman, Everett Golson was poised enough to help lead Notre Dame to an undefeated regular season.
However, he was suspended for a semester for academic violations. Now it looks like Everett Golson will have a fresh start for the Fighting Irish.
According to NotreDame.247sports.com, Kelly favored Golson's leadership ever since his return to the Notre Dame campus. In 2012, he was (10-1) as a starter with the lone loss coming in the BCS Championship.
Everett Golson was in a battle with sophomore Malik Zaire for the quarterback position. Brian Kelly stated that Zaire wasn't thrilled with the decision to go with the proven quarterback. While there are no plans to use a two quarterback system, Kelly has not been opposed to playing two quarterbacks whenever a spark was needed.
Kelly was happy with Zaire's disappointment, but they better hope it doesn't divide the team in some way. If there is a split in the locker room, it could be detrimental to the overall success of Notre Dame's season.
According to Golson, he knew he was going to be named starter on Monday, but he kept it a secret until the official announcement was made. Not only will Everett Golson's leadership be valued, but there is a reason why he has such a gaudy record.
Barring a major incident, Everett Golson will be the quarterback for the final Michigan game in September. Without Golson last season, the Irish lost 41-30 under the lights.
On paper it looks like Notre Dame has to navigate a difficult schedule. Notre Dame has five teams on the schedule ranked in preseason polls.

ZFS vs UFS on the Acer Aspire ONE, boot issue fixed ?
By David Clack on Oct 16, 2008
Hi All,
So i've been working on the strange issue of the time it takes to actually start up OpenSolaris on this laptop, I'd never seen it before.
I re-installed B100a, but used UFS so I could get the dump on swap, instead of ZFS and the laptop is booting as I would expect.
I never get bored with my job, that's for sure :-)

This special edition Triump Speed Triple Brown Racer comes from France, showing off an unusual but not unattractive colour. In addition to the bronze tone, a couple of features in gold are included, giving it a vintage touch. We think it looks more like a piece of furniture - kind of an armchair or bedside table that goes at 200 km/hr.

Ok, so I've had it with godaddy. What I need from you is a recommandation of a web hosting company that has php imap extension enabled and even if it has this extension enabled, the ports won't be blocked (i've run into 1 host with this problem ... i could use php imap function but... connection timed out ). Bassically I want to make use of osTicket and write an app that retreieves emails from google accounts using imap/pop3. I am only askingthis here because I want to be sure that php imap functions are working as it should, not be enabled, but the ports blocked ( which is useless ). PS: i don`t want to rent a whole server computer. I just need a standard hosting account ( maybe with cpanel ). Thank you.

Accommodation is in recently renovated, 250 year old Catalan stone houses complete without extensive outside areas and swimming pools. Each room is furnished to the highest standard and is equipped with a modern ensuite bathroom. Meals are taken both at the lodge and in local restaurants and offer a superb taste of local French cuisine. Local French wine and other drinks are included with the meals. Being so far south the season is long and the micro climate offers an abundance of sunshine with over 300 days of sun recorded each year.
Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Arrival. Welcome, drinks at Sanglier lodge, briefing and orientation, settling in, bike fitting; short test ride, dinner. Includes: (D).
Day 2: A mountain ride today! This'll be a good long ride this morning, with the vehicle backing up, of course, for those who don't want to do all the climbs! Early breakfast, then on the bikes from the lodge down the Vallespir Valley, over the Col d'en Xatard on a tiny, traffic free road towards the Prades valley to the north, with fabulous views of the eastern face of Mount Canigou and clear sight of the sea in many places. Then down we go into the Prades valley, finishing our ride in a great little picnic spot.
After lunch we'll explore (by vehicle, you won't be in a mood for riding) some of the many attractions on that side of the mountain; We may visit St Michel de Cuxa, considered the most important religious monument in the South of France, or St Martin de Canigou, an ancient monastery perched high in the mountains, or the Grottes des Grandes Caudettes, caves with marvelous stalactites and stag mites, or the medieval city of Villefranch de confluent. Then back by road to a delicious home cooked dinner at the lodge and a good night's sleep! Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Day 3: A Costa Brava day! Laze in bed this morning, then gently arise to a terrific 'brunch' in the late morning, but don't overdo the "buck's fizz" as you've got some exercise to do later this evening. Spend the early afternoon loafing around the swimming pool and perhaps having a siesta, then we'll embark on a vehicle with your bikes securely attached to the roof or a trailer and down to the coast we go.
The ride starts on Argeles beach, south of Perpignan, and we spin gently along the coast road to the ancient cities of Collioure and Port Vendres, and then follow the twisty coastal road into Spain to Lloro and Cadaques, home of Salvador Dali, a ride of about 56 km with some refreshments on the way. You might like to swim in the sea and have a shower and change before being left to your own devices to explore the charming old Spanish port. We'll dine in a lovely little waterfront restaurant and then drive home (about 75 minutes) after dinner. Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Day 4: Rest day and dinner with the greatest chef in the Vallespir. After breakfast, Jan, Tim or Marko will take a ride of an hour or 90 minutes for those in the mood, but otherwise the day is yours. There's plenty to do; a great library at the lodge, darts, badminton, table tennis, boules, tennis, fly fishing in the river, or a visit to the nearby "Gorges de la Fou" the narrowest gorge in the world, where a tributary of the Tech river has cut a swathe through the soft limestone several hundred meters deep and often no more than a meter wide. Dinner is a special treat today; Ian Kewley, chef extraordinaire, will do one of his "specials" at his home in Montferrer, a short drive from Sanglier lodge. You won't be disappointed! Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Day 5: Cathar castles day. An early start as we've got a fascinating day ahead, exploring an area two valleys to the north of the Vallespir. The Cathars were a highly advanced people who ran afoul of the early Roman Catholic Church (we'll tell you a lot more about them) and who built fabulous castles perched on pinnacles of rock high above the plains below. We travel first by vehicle to the eastern side of the valley and commence at Tautavel, where one of the earliest European hominids was found, carbon dated at 450 000 years old. After hearing about him and the Cathars, we start peddling to the west, passing through vineyards, with towering chalk cliffs to our left.
Presently the first of the Cathar castles will come into view, and we will pause in our ride to take a close up look at it, followed by one or two more, as the mood takes us. There are six on our route; we won't have time to look at them all. Finally we reach the breathtaking Gorges Calmus, where the road cuts through a mountainside with a sheer drop to the gorge on our right. If feeling a bit nervous we'll dismount and walk some of this, but it's perfectly safe if one is cautious and a sight not to be missed. We'll picnic if the weather remains fine and then perhaps do a little wine tasting in the afternoon before heading back to dinner and bed at the lodge. Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Day 6: We had a great time at the coast on Day 3 and today we do another section of it? We start the day off in a similar manner to Day 3, and then head down to Lloret in Spain, South of Girona, then spin along the lovely coastal road south to Calella de Palafrunell for a couple of hours, followed by a swim in the pretty bay there, with it's white sand and crystal clear water and dinner in a delightful restaurant on the shore. Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Day 7: A bit of a lie in, breakfast around 0930, set off from lodge about 1030, up Col de Sous, a small road behind the lodge with spectacular views towards Mount Canigou and into the Haut Vallespir valley. On reaching the col we freewheel into Prats de Mollo and then climb the Col d'Ares towards Spain. At around 1230 we'll reach La Costa Da Dalt, a famous restaurant perched high in the mountains with fabulous views into Spain with the Mediterranean shimmering to the East. After a quick shower and a change of clothes we settle down for the feast. One delicious course follows another and the wine and laughter flow freely… a great finale to your trip. We eventually stagger out of there at around 1800 and your (sober) driver takes you home. Includes: (B), (L), (D).
Day 8: Departure day. You are utterly relaxed and in no mood to go back to the office, but c'est la vie. All good things come to an end. There's always next year. Includes: (B).
We have indicated a likely itinerary for the week, however we are continually improving and adding to our tours and will also make changes based on weather conditions to ensure maximum enjoyment from the trip.

Buswell notes that Van Til rejected the epistemologies of Kuyper and Bavinck as inordinately welcoming of non-Christian habits of thought. Both thinkers, it is alleged, allowed a certain credence to empiricism. For Van Til, the theory-ladenness of all observation is an unavoidable fact. There is no such thing as a bare fact. Rather, all facts are necessarily interpreted according to specific frameworks. For Van Til, Buswell notes, to attempt to argue on neutral ground is either to appeal to abstract principle or bare, empirical fact. Such abstraction, as we have seen in our look at Van Til's "A Survey of Christianity Epistemology", is typical of apostate thought, and Van Til sees such argumentation by Christian apologists as the importation of pagan thought into Christianity. Buswell distinguishes between brute facts and abstract law:
What are "brute facts," and what is "abstract law"? The latter term can be defined more easily than the former. The laws of the multiplication tables, of abstract geometry, and of classical logic, are generally spoken of as abstract laws. "Two plus two equals four," is a common and simple example. Are such laws to be regarded as external to God and superior to him, laws to which he is obliged to conform? The Christian answer must be "No." God is supreme above all. Are these laws then to be regarded as created by his will and subject to his choice in such sense that it was purely indifferent to him whether he should call evil good or good evil, whether he should create a universe in which it was good for one to bear false witness against his neighbor, or not? To this question Van Til would reply in the affirmative, but the whole impact of the Bible, as illustrated by hundreds of proof texts appealing to God's character, would answer in the negative. The laws of abstract truth are of the very character of God. When the Scripture declares (Heb. 6:18) that it is impossible for God to lie, and when Paul speaks of him as being "just and the justifier of the one who believes," appeal is taken to his immutable, holy and true character which his will expresses, and which cannot conceivably be violated by any act of his(Buswell).
But I think Buswell is misunderstanding Van Til here. Van Til is not saying that we cannot reason from the truth of the God of the Bible. What he is simply saying is that evidentialists, in employing argumentation not directly warranted by Scripture, risk using the same habits of thinking as pagans, who reduce all of reality to abstract laws of the universe:
It will be found upon careful scrutiny that all three of these characteristics just enumerated (a) a tendency to identification of the human mind with the laws of the universe as a whole, (b) a tendency toward depersonalization and abstraction, and (c) a tendency toward intellectualism, will be found to be characteristic of all non- or antitheistic thought. We shall attempt to point this out at a later stage. And if this opinion is correct it is apparent that it will repay us to see these principles in operation in the case of Plato.
In the second place it should be remarked that Greek philosophy as a whole tends to depersonalization and abstraction. Not as though this was consciously the case. It could not have been done consciously because the modern concept of personality was unknown to the Greeks. What is meant is that though there was in the instance of Plato an advance from materiality to spirituality this was itself abstractly understood. One aspect of the universe is thought of as material and the other aspect is thought of as spiritual, and the soul finds its home in the spiritual aspect. But of this spiritual aspect of the universe, the soul is at most an individuation. Paul Elmer More has argued at length that abstraction first set in with Aristotle, but it may be doubted whether he has made his point. It was characteristic of the genius of the Greek mind to run into abstractions. It is inherent in all apostate thought to think abstractly(Van Til, "A Survey of Christian Epistemology").
This is quite opposed to Christian presuppositionalist argumentation, which Van Til says is "concrete":
In the preceding paragraph we have considered the necessary consequences of the relativism inherent in the very bedrock of Greek epistemology. We must now add that an inherently relativistic epistemology is also of necessity and inherently abstract. On the other hand, we believe that the method of implication or the process of transcendental reasoning as employed by Christian theism is of necessity and inherently concrete.
Augustine, we know, was almost exclusively engaged in seeking to know God and himself. How then did he know himself? How would he argue for immortality? He would argue that he would naturally be immortal inasmuch as God planned him to be so. He would not believe in the soul's preexistence, since that would imply his participation in the essence of eternity itself. In that case he would be once more a charter member of an original plurality without the Being of God, which conception he, by definition, had excluded. On the other hand, he would be equally sure that the evil within him was not due to the indwelling of something of the eternal Idea of evil. For if evil were eternal it would once more exclude the notion of an ultimate unity. Hence the warfare within him between good and evil was not a tug-of-war affair in which two parties were about equally matched. The principle of evil must be finite and the principle of the good must be infinite. If then he was only identified in purpose with the power of the infinite good, he would not only be immortal, but also be blessed. And even if not identified in purpose with the plans of the infinite, he would still be immortal, but immortal in misery. In either case the unity of God's plan could not be broken. And put once more in philosophical terms, this would mean that Augustine is reasoning in such a way as to make the categories of eternity to be determinative of his thought. His method is all of one piece instead of a mixture, as was the case with Plato. There was not the least danger that Augustine would at last end with an abstract logical argument as Plato had done. In the Trinity, Augustine found his Concrete Universal. It is the earmark of what Idealism means by a concrete universal that unity and difference should be equally fundamental. But since Plato never succeeded in making unity and difference equally basic, it is fair to say that Plato's thought remained abstract. He reasoned first on the basis of a physical world which he tried to abstract from the Ideal world. Then he reasoned on the basis of an Ideal world which he tried to abstract from the world of sense. But when he reasoned upon the basis of the sense world, he nevertheless took for granted the existence of the Ideal world with its claims, and when he reasoned in his second method upon the basis of the laws of the Ideal world, he nevertheless took for granted the existence of the world of sense with its claims. He did not have the courage to be either exclusively empirical or exclusively ideational. Hence his reasoning was in each case nothing but a temporary extraction of one aspect from the other aspect. He lacked the courage to abstract God from the sense world to such an extent that he really becomes self-supporting and therewith Concrete(Van Til, "A Survey of Christian Epistemology").
By "concrete universal", Van Til refers to the equal ultimacy of unity and plurality inhering in the Person of the Triune God. Indeed, for Van Til, this is precisely what makes Christianity so unique, and the way in which it solves the problem of the one and the many. Apostate thought tends to favor either the ideal/abstract or the concrete and the sensible, but all such thought collapses in antinomies which are inevitable for any worldview other than the Christian worldview, since non-Christian worldviews do not base their thought in the concrete universal of the Triune God, in whom, according to Van Til, inhere equally ultimate plurality and unity. For Van Til to speak of the concrete universal is simply for him to speak of the equal ultimacy of plurality and unity in God's Triune nature. On the one hand, Hegel, as we have seen in our previous article, spoke of "abstract universals" such as "man", as contrasted with totalities such as "mankind." I think all Van Til is saying is that it is only by virtue of the equal ultimacy of God's Triune nature that concrete individuals, constitutive of the world's plurality, and "mankind", constitutive of the world's unity, to use one example, and universals such as "all of mankind", can be accounted for in one worldview. This is in stark contrast to worldviews which are either monistic and therefore unable to account for plurality, or pluralistic, and therefore unable to account for unity. So when Buswell says "'A concrete universal is thus a totality. The supreme concrete universal is the totality of being, reality or the universe as a whole", what I think Van Til means here is simply that only the Christian worldview, whose God possesses a Triune nature, is capable of accommodating the plurality of the concrete and the unity of the universal.
But what about "brute facts"? We have seen before that what Van Til means by this is simply something that is "uninterpreted." For Van Til, there is no such thing as an uninterpreted datum. So John Frame:
Theology is simply the application of Scripture to all areas of human life. On this matter, Reformed writers have often been unhelpful. They have talked about theology as a study of God or Scripture, as an ordering of biblical data, as a process of theory construction from the facts of the Bible, etc. But they have not seriously asked the question, "Why do we need theology if Scripture is sufficient?" Often they have talked as if theology is necessary for us to obtain the truth about God, forgetting for the moment that God has already told us the truth about himself in Scripture. Sometimes they have suggested that the scriptural account of the truth is somehow defective–in form if not in content–and that theology is needed to remedy that defect, to put the Scripture into proper form, perhaps. Such options are not open to a follower of Van Til. Scripture is not lacking in truth, order, rationality. It is not a brute fact which stands only as data for human interpretation. It is interpretation-divine interpretation. We need theology not because of any defect in Scripture, but because of defects in us, because of our inability to relate the clear revelation of Scripture to our own lives. We need theology–not to restructure or improve upon Scripture, but to apply Scripture to our lives(Frame).
For Frame, God's self-revelation in Scripture is a divine interpretation of reality. Theology is likewise man's interpretation of God's revelation. Such theological interpretation (or perhaps interpretative theology) is not required because of any defect in scripture, but because of our own defects. Therefore, for the student of biblical theology, there is no such thing as a brute fact. Instead, all theological doctrine is only ever interpretation. This is not to advocate a relativistic hermeneutic. There are indisputably good and indisputably bad interpretation of biblical revelation. Good or correct interpretation corresponds to God's interpretation of reality, and bad interpretation does not. However, Buswell tackles the notion that there is no such thing as a brute fact:
What then are "brute facts"? The term simply means facts which we cannot /p. 55/ see as directly derived from rational principles, but which are regarded as facts merely because they exist. Of course every Christian regards facts as the result of God's act of creation. Can a Christian then regard any of the facts of creation as brute facts? The answer should be given in two stages, (1) there are certainly some facts which cannot be regarded as brute facts, but which must be regarded as inevitably derived from the very character of God himself. God must be holy, he must be true,—not by any outside compulsion but because of himself. Since God must be holy, he must hate sin, he must take the attitude of consuming wrath toward all which violates his holy character. God's wrath against sin, then, is not a brute fact, but is a fact which is derived by the very nature of the truth itself in God, from the nature of holiness itself in God.
(2) On the other hand, there are certain facts which must necessarily be regarded as free expressions of God's will, not derived by any rational necessity or any other necessity from his character. One of these facts is creation. To regard the eternal God as under any necessity to create the universe would be a form of pantheism. His plan to create must be regarded as eternal. His act of creation must be regarded as temporal and free. In the technical sense of the word, a "brute fact" is certainly not irrational. Neither is it rationalistic in the sense of being rationally necessitated. Creation as a fact must be regarded as a free act of God's will, not contrary to, but not necessitated by the truth which characterizes his nature.
Another fact which must supremely be regarded as the result of God's free will, and not in any sense necessitated, is the fact of salvation through Christ. "Of his mere good pleasure" not because of any rational necessity he chose to save a people. Grace is then, technically called a "brute fact" and through all eternity it will be more and more amazing to us that God should have chosen, of his own freedom, to save sinners through the sacrifice of Calvary.
Another fact which must be recognized as non-necessitated, is the very fact of God himself. God simply is an eternal Being, infinite and perfect in specified revealed attributes. One of the chief fallacies of Kant in discussing the doctrine of God, was his confusion of "necessary Being" with actual being. He should have perceived that if God exists by any necessity, then the necessity would seem to be at least logically prior to God. As Kant argues, there is no logical contradiction in conceiving of the existence of nothing at all. He should have reached the conclusion that God's existence is not a necessity of reason, it is simply so. God is.
Now comes the question crucial to Professor Van Til's presuppositionalism: If abstract laws are of the character of God, and if created facts are produced, or have been produced, by the will of God, is it inconceivable that a lost sinner existing as a created fact might apprehend something of abstract truth, not knowing that it is derived from the character of God himself, might also apprehend certain brute facts in God's creation, and might, for a time at least have a certain limited area of truth in common with the redeemed from among men? The answer to this question will depend upon further study including topics presented below.
Van Til actually explicitly addresses this issue in his "A Survey of Christian Epistemology":
True human knowledge corresponds to the knowledge which God has of himself and his world. Suppose that I am a scientist investigating the life and ways of a cow. What is this cow? I say it is an animal. But that only pushes the question back. What is an animal? To answer that question I must know what life is. But again, to know what life is I must know how it is related to the inorganic world. And so I may and must continue till I reach the borders of the universe. And even when I have reached the borders of the universe, I do not yet know what the cow is. Complete knowledge of what a cow is call be had only by an absolute intelligence, i.e., by one who has, so to speak, the blueprint of the whole universe. But it does not follow from this that the knowledge of the cow that I have is not true as far as it goes. It is true if it corresponds to the knowledge that God has of the cow(Van Til, "A Survey of Christian Epistemology).
To answer Buswell's question as to whether or not a human can possess the "truth" of a brute fact: well, only Christians can have true knowledge of a fact of creation. The unbeliever, according to Van Til, cannot have true knowledge of a fact of creation precisely because Van Til is working with a coherence theory of truth rather than a correpsondence theory of truth. For Van Til, only Christians can have true coherence, and therefore, only Christians can have true knowledge: "It is our contention that only the Christian can obtain real coherence in his thinking. If all of our thoughts about the facts of the universe are correspondence with God's ideas of these facts, there will naturally be coherence in our thinking because there is a complete coherence in God's thinking"(Van Til).
Van Til notes that the idealists like Hegel made true knowledge impossible for all but the absolute mind. Only God has exhaustive knowledge of the world because only God understands how all facts relate to all other facts. Thus, only God's thinking is ultimately coherent, and therefore, only God's thoughts are ultimately true. But we can have a degree of true knowledge insofar as we affirm that God's knowledge of a fact is a true conception of the fact. Note, however, in our quotation of Van Til concerning the cow, he refers to us having knowledge of the cow "as far as it goes." This is quite the notorious Van Tillianism, and refers to the distinction between archetypal and ectypal knowledge. The former refers to God's knowledge of all things in relation to Himself, and the latter refers to human knowledge, which lacks understanding of the relation of God's knowledge to Himself because it lacks understanding of God's incomprehensible nature. In any case, the unbeliever, it would seem, cannot have any true knowledge of creation, and the believer can only have a faint glimmer of a qualitatively different archetypal knowledge residing in God alone.

In February 1997, Alex Chilton had played his first set of the night at a gig at New York City's Knitting Factory when the power went out. The rest of the show was cancelled, and most of the audience left. But Chilton wasn't going to let a minor issue like the lack of electricity get in his way, and those who stuck around had a terrific treat in store for them — Chilton unexpectedly re-appeared with an acoustic guitar in hand and announced he was going to continue playing (drummer Richard Dworkin also joins in at one point), much to the remaining audience's delight. Fortuitously for Chilton aficionados, a well-prepared fan named Jeff Vargon recorded the show, preserving it for posterity, now released as "Electricity By Candlelight" (Bar/None). And in the wake of Chilton's untimely death in 2010, this release is even more poignant.
Vargon used a cassette deck, so the sound quality is decidedly lo-fi. But what a treat to hear Chilton fooling around with songs he loves (he doesn't play any of his own songs), transforming the evening into a party, complete with sing-alongs. It's not such a surprise to hear Chilton do the Beach Boys' "Surfer Girl" and "Wouldn't It Be Nice," but he also goes for the deep cuts by adding a cover of the Beach Boys' "Solar System." He also gives nods to country ("D-I-V-O-R-C-E"), Johnny Cash ("I Walk the Line"), Joni Mitchell ("A Case of You" and Astrud Gilberto ("The Girl From Ipanema").
Toward the end, everyone joins in on a buoyant rendition of "If I Had a Hammer." Judging by the crowd response, what could've been an evening that ended in disappointment instead became the kind of special event you'll always remember. Today, with smart phones and handheld digital recorders, the show would probably have been up on YouTube within the hour. Back then, one never knew which shows would end up being recorded by someone and which would be left to exist only in the audience's memory. In this instance, for those who weren't lucky enough to be there, it's the kind of off-the-wall offering Chilton's fans will really appreciate. It's the kind of release that makes you wonder — what other audio goodies might be out there in someone's collection?

Just a heads up to anyone in need. There is currently a 4.1L fwd re-manufactured long block crate engine for sale on e-bay. I talked with the them and they seem to be pretty good people. Price looks very attractive. If i wasn't already so far along on my current rebuild, I would have probably bought it. It does have early heads on it.
I also have the name of a person in San Antonio that has a crate 4.1 that i put a deposit on but could never work out the shipping details. PM me if you want the name.

Eric Forkel said he didn't know whether it was his greatest series ever, but it had to rank right up there.
Forkel blistered a 1,361 series for a five-game set to win the Southern Nevada Bowling Tour season-opening event Saturday night at South Point Lanes in Las Vegas, Nev.
Forkel rolled games of 300, 258, 247, 299 and 257 to win the 32-player tournament by a whopping 129 pins over second-place Michael Caverly of Las Vegas.
That comes out to an average of 272.2 per game for Forkel, a Henderson, Nev., resident who was a longtime San Fernando Valley resident and Van Nuys High graduate.
It was the second-highest five-game total in SNBT history – just eight pins behind Zack Hattori's 1,369. Forkel earned $442 for the victory.
Forkel on Sunday could cite only his record-setting series in the American Bowling Congress Masters tournament in 1997 that was comparable to his scorching performance at South Point Lanes. The ABC was the forerunner of the United States Bowling Congress.
In that ABC event, Forkel posted a score in the 870s for the three-game set, which he also kicked off with a perfect game and was just a couple of strikes away from a 900 series.
The 53-year-old Forkel said South Point used a modified long house shot as the oil pattern, which usually results in higher scores.
"I bowl really well on this pattern," Forkel said, "and I was carrying last night for whatever reason. I've had experience on this pattern."
Forkel, who co-hosts Bowling Evolved podcasts with Dustin Markowitz, said his score on Saturday night could have been even higher.
"The funny part is that if I hadn't missed a spare in the last game I would have set the [SNBT] record," Forkel said. "I missed the seven pin, which I rarely miss."
Forkel, a left-hander, left the seven pin in the eighth frame of the final game – a shot that he said went wide right and didn't miss by much. He struck out the rest of the way.
On his 299 game, Forkel left the six pin on his final shot.
Forkel moves ahead of Matt Jones (1,343) and into second place in the SNBT record book for the highest five-game total. Forkel also ranks second in the SNBT for highest six-game series with a 1,594 (265.7 average), 14 pins behind Dave Wodka.
Forkel is one of three bowlers to win three SNBT tournaments in a row, having accomplished the feat in 2011.

Beware Of Fast-Growing Web Companies With No Revenue
As an investor, how do you decide whether to fund a hot Web company that's growing rapidly, but isn't making money?
Just because Facebook Inc. and Twitter Inc. have gotten away with adding users first and revenue later doesn't mean that every start-up can do the same.
IVP General Partner Steve Harrick, whose firm invested in Twitter two years ago at a valuation that was reported to be between $200 million and $250 million, called Twitter "a notable exception" to the types of companies that IVP usually invests in – later-stage companies with revenue of over $20 million.
"We did that round with Benchmark [Capital] pretty early in Twitter's development, but we saw exceptional entrepreneurs and a service that was scaling," Harrick said. (Twitter's valuation was estimated in December at about $3.7 billion, so IVP and Benchmark look smart now.)
Another early investor in Twitter, Baseline Ventures founder Steve Anderson, said a big danger with fast-growing Web companies is that they can become "a flash in the pan."
Anderson is trying to repeat his Twitter success with Formspring Inc., a fast-growing question-and-answer site that VentureWire wrote about here.
Anderson led Formspring's seed round last year and helped the young company line up an $11 million Series A despite no revenue, urging Formspring founder Ade Olonoh to move the company and his family from Indianapolis to San Francisco so he could be closer to prospective investors. Olonoh did.
"Eleven million dollars is a lot of money, and in order to get that type of money, you have to demonstrate that you know what you're doing," Anderson said. "I wanted to get the company out here (to the Bay Area) and continue to enhance and build the product and start to get a sense for use cases–how many responses were happening per user."
Redpoint Ventures, which led Formspring's Series A, continued the due diligence, even though Olonoh didn't have all the data the partners asked for because he was too busy running the company–which was then less than a year old–to pull the data together.
One thing the Redpoint partners asked for was "a window into a broad array of users, an unfiltered feed…so we could try to categorize what conversations were about and try to develop our own usage models–how engaged were the conversations, and could we assess what the demographics of the site look like," said Redpoint Founding Partner Geoff Yang. "One of our guys looked through several thousand responses to try to make sense of what people were doing with Formspring."
Yang even posed questions to people he saw as power users on Formspring and asked them why they used Formspring and what they liked about it. He remembers some of their answers: "It helps make me seem more accessible without being accessible…It makes me seem softer, more human."
Along with the analytics that Redpoint was able to gather and Redpoint's confidence in Olonoh, that was enough for Yang.

The official Twitter page of the Husky Crew will also have live in-race updates: http://Twitter.com/UWHuskyCrew. A full recap and photo gallery of the Apple Cup races will be available on GoHuskies.com. Post-race video from the finsh line will be archived on www.huskycrew.org.
About The UW Coaching Staff
The women's team is coached by the legendary Bob Ernst, who made the switch in 2007 after a 20-year stint coaching the men's program. Ernst is no stranger to women's rowing, having shepherded the program to six National Championships from 1981-87. Ernst aslo has significant Olympics and International experience and has been involved with some facet of the UW program since 1974. In 1984, he coached the Gold Medal winning eight in the Los Angeles Olympic Games. In his first season at Washington, Conor Bullis manages all coaching duties for the women's novice rowers.
Scouting Washington State
Washington State is a member of the Pac-12 Conference and based in Pullman, Wash. The Cougars are coached by Jane LaRiviere, who is in her 10th season on the Palouse. WSU opened the 2012 season at the San Diego Crew Classic. WSU's best finish came in the varsity four event, where the Cougars finished second in the Grand Final. Washington State made the petite finals of the varsity eight race after finishing just two seconds out of contention for a spot in the Grand Finals. WSU's 2V8 also competed in the petite finals, winning with a time of 7:21.00. The WSU novice eight also reached the Grand Finals, where they secured a fifth-place finish.
Last Time Out
Fierce winds at the San Diego Classic in Mission Bay made for difficult race conditions, but the Huskies managed to make the Grand Finals in all four categories with the varsity eight finishing 3rd in the Jessop-Whittier Cup with a time of 7:10.86, ahead of Pac-12 rivals California and Stanford. In the 2V8 Grand Final the Huskies came from behind the pack and finished second behind UCLA with a time of 7:19.43. The novice boat that featured six rowers with no previous experience before coming to UW was still able to finish 3rd in their race, despite the difficult conditions. The Washington V4 finished 6th in its Grand Final with a time of 8:17.17.
Montlake Cut
The Huskies' home course is Montlake Cut, a 2,000-meter sprint that begins from a floating start parallel to the 520 Bridge in Lake Washington and runs east to west through the Montlake Cut and to the finish line near the mouth of Portage Bay in Lake Union.
About The Huskies
Last season the Huskies had another successful campaign after competing against some of the nation's top competition. Early on during the 2011 spring season the Huskies won two championships at the San Diego Crew Classic and a week later the Huskies traveled to Washington State and the Snake River, ensuring that the Apple Cup trophy would come back to Seattle by winning all six races against the cross-state rival.
The Huskies would later bounce back from losing the Simpson Cup to rival No. 4 California by defending their home course and beating both Cambridge and Oklahoma in the 25th annual Windemere Cup.
The Huskies would then go on to win two medals at the Pac-10 Championships, finishing fourth in the event. The 2011 season culminated in the Huskies' 15th consecutive trip to the NCAA Championships and after ending the weekend on a high note by winning the second varsity petite final, the Huskies had accumulated 54 points and finished eighth in the country.
Washington State/Washington Notes Mollie McCabe is a sophomore rower at Washington State University, and sister of senior UW oarsman Conlin McCabe. The elder McCabe is currently taking the year off from Washington to train with Rowing Canada in the hopes of making the Canadian men's eight that will race in the 2012 London Olympics.

The Cougars have won four of the last six races in the varsity eight category, including a win on the Montlake Cut in 2010. Washington responded the next season with a sweep on the Wawawai Landing, the third sweep for UW since 2004. The two programs raced together this year at the San Diego Crew Classic, with the Huskies finishing ahead of the Cougars in the V8, 2V8 and N8 categories.
Windermere Cup Highlighted By Visit From Argentines
The 26th anniversary of the Windermere Cup brings some added flair to the Montlake Cut this year. Argentina is one of several noteworthy programs to race the Washington men's and women's crew programs in Seattle on May 5 beginning at 10 a.m. In addition to Argentina will be Virginia (men), Oregon State (men) and Gonzaga University (women).
With its reputation as one of the premier rowing events in the world, the Windermere Cup has a long-established tradition of attracting the best programs to Seattle. The tradition began with the World Champion Soviet Union crews in 1987 as part of the community's effort to highlight the unique racing venue the Montlake Cut offers rowing.
The event is held in conjunction with the Seattle Yacht Club and sponsored by Seattle-based Windermere Real Estate, the largest regional real estate company on the West Coast. The free event binds the Seattle community to the sport and is one of the preeminent sporting events the city offers. Last year, tens of thousands of fans lined the Montlake Cut to watch Washington sweep all four marquee races.

A small island that features Koganeyama-jinja Shrine, which was built in the 8th century. Enjoy the magnificent panorama of the Pacific Ocean.
Kinkasan is an islet about 60 km east of Sendai and 1 kilometer to the southeast of the Oshika-hanto Peninsula. It floats above the Pacific Ocean, and is only about 26 kilometers in circumference. The highest point on the island is about 445 meters above sea level. From it, you can enjoy a beautiful panorama of the Pacific Ocean, Sendai the City of Trees, and the Kurikoma Mountain Range in the north of Miyagi.
There are several walking courses on the island, including an undulating course around the island and a course to the island's summit. The climate is warm, and wild deer and monkeys live on the island. Hike these courses and you will truly be able to fully enjoy the island's nature.
Also on the island is Koganeyama-jinja Shrine, which was built in the 8th century. Its guardian god, the god of good fortune, has been attracting worshippers for many years. This shrine forms the starting point for the hiking course to the top of the mountain, and people in the shrine office can give you an advice on how best to enjoy the course. There is also accommodation attached to the shrine, where you can spend the night. From its large communal bath, you can enjoy the view of the Oshika-hanto Peninsula.

As I just announced over at A2Y, I'm turning the game off now. The Avs just scored twice on power plays from penalties that had no right being called in this game.
The NHL won't do anything about it's awful, inconsistant reffing until people start to turn games off because of it. Tonight, I'm doing my part. See you guys later.
Chris Chelios enters the lineup for his second game of the season tonight, replacing the injured Nicklas Lidstrom.
The Avs will be without leading scorer Paul Stastny and captain Joe Sakic, who are both out with injuries.
Chris Osgood says he's ready to return to the Detroit crease but he will sit tonight in favor of Ty Conklin.
Programming reminder, this game is on Fox Sports Plus.
Ugh. PPG for Colorado. I thought the traffic of everyone rushing out from behind the net might have had something to do with it but looks like that was a few seconds earlier. Deflected off Maltby's skate.
The wife made me turn off the Xbox and check the game. The Wings promptly scored three goals to tie things up. I'm back in for the rest of this one I guess.
Saw that coming. All Wings from the second period (by all accounts, at least) on but the Avs get two points thanks to the gimmick. Yeah, I still miss ties.
No need for ties. Anyways Wings looking better on 5v5. Goaltending still a problem but then again what can you do when you have to kill off penalties that should've never been called. Many teams records are better or worse thanks to all these horrendous calls. The Wings have the third best record in the league and I think they're the 4th best team as we speak, Blackhawks cannot lose right now. Although its not even half way through the season, the next two games versus the hawks will be a good indicator of how good the wings are right now. Blackhawks are on fire, wings are doing alright and are getting hit with injuries, lets see how they do. I think blackhawks will win both games, but barely.
The wife made me turn off the Xbox and check the game. The Wings promptly scored three goals to tie things up. I'm back in for the rest of this one I guess.
Strange how I went to play games too after that first period to let the steam subside, only to come back and watch at the end of the second period, all tied @ 3-3.
If a team can turn in one good period and coast to a win from there, good for them
From what I've seen majority of these games are won and lost based on a period where anytime contact is made and these chincy penalties are called, then the other team gets bailed out just to make it fair (a.k.a. one bad call deserves another). Thats why I believe the playoffs will tell a different tale when teams get to play more hockey rather than 5on3, 5on4 for whatever reason half the time not even knowing what was called and just letting it go by the way side. Wings playing better 5on5 right now, which is a good sign. As for the games where a team doesnt deserve a point, that usually is a sign of a team that will lose the next game. Wings came close last game so usually that means they're playing better which may be a good thing come next game. ANYWAYS enough of this, its not even the half way point, let the mayhem subside.

Youth Projects
In the past few years, with increasing unemployment due to the economic situation and terror activities in our region which have resulted in the loss of dear ones, we have witnessed negative social phenomena amongst our youth. There has been an increase in the number of students dropping out of educational frameworks, as well as violent and other negative behaviors. Out of deep concern and worry about escalating numbers, we have been working in a number of ways to deal with the above phenomena.
Current activities:
Target Population - 200 youth at risk
Work with adolescents is very complex. They feel independent and that they don't need any help from others. Adolescents that have dropped out of their educational framework and are on the border of violence, and at times even in the midst of violence, is a difficult group to reach. As life in Israel is full of violence with war between Arabs and Jews, fighting between right and left, religious and secular, the large amount of time on the internet, the chances for the adolescent to react with physical and verbal violence is increased. Rather than teaching them what is not good, we thought to create an original project not by dictating to them, or lecturing them, but by connecting with them and having them receive positive messages, and options without violence. Rather than working head to head, we think working together will give the most positive results.
Research has proven that strengthening positive social interactions are a factor that can lower the level of violence in a social framework. Any tool that can lower the distance and the separation can serve our goals
The activities during the day will be given in areas of interest for the youth, such that with the building of a strong infrastructure that will be able to serve their needs. We are talking about a project with at least 200 participants.
This is a joint venture between the Chevrat Lamatnasim (JCC), Ministry of Education, the Regional Council and the Gush Etzion Foundation. The Foundation participates where government funding has ended or there is no funding at all. The youth project is an existing project, we are asking for funds to expand our activities.

A Historical Look at Inner Harbor Hotels: The Monaco Baltimore
The Hotel Monaco Baltimore building had us at hello, from its soaring marble staircases to its sparkling chandeliers. We just knew we had to be a part of preserving this 1906 Beaux Arts gem. We admit: There's no denying the grandeur of this historic site that was once the B&O Railroad Headquarters., and now our Inner Harbor Hotel Monaco.
Designed by Parker & Thomas, the Headquarters opened its doors at midnight on September 12, 1906 to the dazzling spectacle of more than 5,000 electric lights that "burst into fire and presented a grand spectacle," as reported by The Sun. The newspaper went on to point out that Oscar G. Murray, B&O Railroad president, chose to move into his office suite the next day, September 13. "The structure is 13 stories high; Murray started in the railroad business on January 13, 1872; and he was elected the thirteenth president of the railroad," furthered the news report. Of course, Murray's office number was 13 and his phone extension was the same.
Amusing anecdotes aside, the building is known for architectural greatness. The exterior is dignified and monumental, with beautiful carving and ornamental work showing off the craftsmanship of yesteryear. Perhaps one of the most compelling features is the building's statuary over the main entrance. Believed to predate the statuary at New York's Grand Central Station and designed by John Evans & Co. of Boston, the figure of Mercury and an allegorical feature cradling a locomotive represent transportation and commerce.
Walking through the streets of Baltimore is a history lesson in itself. The city springs to life with numerous architectural styles covering more than two centuries and is also the canvas for the work of many famous architects – I.M. Pei, Ludwig Mies van Der Rohe and Benjamin Latrobe among them. Famous for its rowhouses, some dating back to the 1790s, Baltimore is also home to the oldest Catholic Cathedral in the United States, the country's first lasting structure built expressly as a museum, and the tallest equilateral pentagonal building in the world, I.M. Pei's World Trade Center.
Coming full circle, the Hotel Monaco Baltimore, in its historic B&O Headquarters building, is a thriving reminder of an important juncture in the history. It's a symbol of Baltimore's industrially prosperous past and its new resurgence as a thriving place to be for both business and pleasure.

In Japan, it is quite common to see a structure with two vertical posts and two horizontal lintels crossed above the vertical posts. They are mostly made of stone and wood, two traditional materials in building a structure but lately, copper, concrete, and stainless steel are also in use for similar purpose. Majority of these structures found in Japan are painted in red but it's not limited to just this warm color. They may as well be painted with earth colors such as grey, light brown, and light green or just left to the color of its original material (unpainted). What is this structure and what does it represent?
The structure is called torii, a traditional Japanese gate which can be found at entrances to all Shinto shrines and since torii is an important structure for a Shinto shrine, its size can be colossal. Torii gate can sometimes be found built inside the shrines compound too, marking an entrance to another sacred area. Torii symbolizes a change between two different environments, from profane to sacred ground inside a temple. Torii is a symbol of dedication to the Kami gods (Kami no michi) which Shinto devotees worship. To put it simpler, torii is the symbol of Shinto that put a line between the finite world and the infinite world of the gods.
Its name originated from the Chinese words "shin tao" which means "The Way of the Gods" and it has been in existence since 500BC. Shinto faith is indigenous to Japanese people that mixes nature worship, fertility cults, and shamanism. Life energy exists in natural phenomena is worshipped as Kami. Amaterasu, the sun goddess, is the most prominent Kami as she is the offspring of the creator Izanagi (male) and Izanami (female). Meanwhile, four elements of worship are purification, offering, prayer, and special feast. In Shintoism, divine nature in every human being is hidden until it is purified through these four elements of worshipping Kami gods. In fact, Shinto believers consider natural surroundings like mountains, springs, rocks, etc. as sacred objects. More on Shinto from Japan Guide.
However, torii is not only unique to Japanese Shinto. There are some other parts of the world where similar structures (although different naming) stand as sacred object to believers of other faiths. For instance, a torana or vandanamalikas can be found at some Hindu and Buddhist holy structures in India; hongsalmun in Korea is an entrance gate to most Confucian sacred sites; and pailou is also a type of gate closely related to torii for Buddhist temples in China. Whatever the names they give and the slight different designs of the horizontal and vertical assemblies of the gate, it serves one common purpose, which is to tell people "sacred ground beyond this line".
In Japan, torii gates are built in several different designs or styles under two major families, the shinmei and the myojin. What made them distinct and the simplest way to differentiate between the two families is by looking at the shape of the horizontal lintels and the upright supports. Shinmei toriis contain only straight parts in their architectures. On the other hand, myojin toriis can have both straight and curved parts on them. Most of the torii gates I came across will have a squarish wooden panel (like photo frame) in between the horizontal lintels and contain some writings on them, most probably a say of prayer or maybe just a sign like "Enter this way" kind of thing.
Speaking of torii and its significance to Shinto beliefs, I was amazed by the reality where a simple structure like this gives a spiritual meaning to the Japanese people or anyone who follows Shinto. The most famous torii in Japan is none other than the one sitting just before Miyajima Island. Also known as the 'floating torii', this huge, red, wooden and concrete structure is the main gateway to the sacred Miyajima Shrine.
This torii has become the main tourist attraction in Miyajima since the island opened its door to foreigners many years ago. Previously, the island was only meant for the locals of Miyajima as they tried to maintain the sanctity of the shrine. Another floating torii I managed to visit is the one sitting on Lake Ashi. With the sacred elements of the torii and the massive Fuji mountain in the background, it makes one great outdoor photo if the weather is right. I was quite unfortunate here, though.
The other shrine that is really about torii is the one and only Fushimi Inari Taisha. Dedicated to the kami named Inari, Fushimi Inari shrine contains more than 10,000 torii gates of various sizes.
Most of the torii gates here are lined up to make tunnels of toriis and each torii in those tunnels has been inscribed with the company name or individual who donate for the building of the respective torii. This is done as a gratitude and appreciation to the Inari god for the company's success. More on Fushimi Inari Taisha from Wiki.
To get an experience walking under a torii gate, make your way to Japan and get a feel of the ancient Shinto with its red, shiny symbol - the torii.

The Vanderpump Rules cast was out on the town last night, Feb. 27, making a red carpet appearances together on the red carpet at OK! Magazine's Pre-Oscar event at West Hollywood's Greystone Manor Supperclub and at the Beverly Hills Lifestyle 'Academy Awards Issue' Party at Sofitel Hotel.
Among the group were Scheana Marie, Mike Shay, Kristen Doute, James Kennedy, Ariana Madix, Tom Sandoval, and Carmen Dickman. Lisa Vanderpump, Ken Todd, and their daughter Pandora were also at the party, as was Jax Taylor.
Absent from the group was Stassi Schroder, which isn't all that surprising considering she has relocated to New York City where she lives with her boyfriend Patrick.
Although the series' third season has still not been confirmed, Deadline reported yesterday that the series' renewal is nearly a sure thing.
"Following a solid second season, Bravo's The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills offshoot Vanderpump Rules looks poised to get a third season renewal," the site reported on Feb. 27. "The reality series, starring RHOBH's Lisa Vanderpump, has grown steadily in the ratings, starting with 1.19 million viewers for the Season 2 premiere and culminating with 2.24 million tuning in for the first part of the end-of-season reunion."

The Battle of Ocean Pond/Olustee, FL took place 150 years ago, on February 20, 1864. Although not a large battle in terms of participants (about 10,000 soldiers combined) the casualties were relatively large by comparisons to other battles. There were 2,807 casualties including losses from both sides. On February 15-16, historic reenactments will take place at Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park to commemorate the battle.
The Union army had been sent to northern Florida to help block the shipment of supplies northward into George and South Carolina. Among their numbers were three regiments of U.S. Colored Troops (the 54th Massachusetts, the 35th USCT and the 8th USCT) who were looking to recruit from Florida's free black population
Confederate troops lying in trenches routed the Union soldiers in the five hour battle and sent them scurrying back to Jacksonville. The USCT regiments were sent in late in the battle, after it was lost, to cover the backs of the fleeing Union soldiers. Over one-third of the Union's 1,800 casualties were colored soldiers.
This is the 38th year of the battle reenactment which is one of the largest held annually in the south. The first year's reenactment of the battle was actually staged during the halftime show of a college football game.
In addition to the reenactment, the Olustee Festival is held in downtown Lake City on Friday and Saturday. That event includes a craft show, reenactors parade, food, continuous entertainment and lots of children's activities.

Syracuse vs Louisville Basketball: Coach Jim Boeheim
"It was right in front of me. He hit him right on the shoulder," Jim Boeheim said. "He went for the ball and hit him. He didn't grab him. I don't know where (it was) intentional. It probably doesn't matter. The kid makes the two free throws."
"I didn't foul him that hard. There definitely was some acting involved," Kris Joseph said. "I just tried to go for the ball to get him to go to the line and shoot the double bonus. But the refs saw it differently. He's just doing his job that he gets paid to do, so I'm not going to argue with the call. "The ball was by his shoulder,". "I just tried to reach over his shoulder, and he made it seem like I pulled him or pushed him or whatever the case may be. And the ref called it intentional.

Wellness wrap up...
Sunday, October 28, 2012
I am ending my 30 day blog with a focus on wellness. 28. What do you do for wellness? For example, to increase emotional, spiritual, or intellectual well-being? I try to be holistic. I am catholic, and use my Iphone for daily mass, plus mass with communion on Sunday. I have a faith group that I meet with once a week. I love to be creative in the kitchen, and the act of cooking soothes me. I am a reader, and read everyday. Currently i am reading REDMIST, a kay scarpetta book. and i love netflix. there is something calming about grey's anatomy. I am re-watching the show, and am on season 2.
29. There is so much MORE to you than your wellness journey. Please share 10 facts about yourself that aren't related to your weight loss journey, how you eat, or how you exercise.
1) I am a parent of three teenagers. and a prospect parent to a four year old.
2) I am married to my best friend, who is my polar opposite. it's a ying / yang thing.
3) I drive a very old van that is dying it's last breathe. My next car depends on if my household grows. If Connor comes to live with us, it's a new van or SUV. something to haul sports equipment for the next ten years. If Connor doesn't come, it;s a hybrid car that is eco friendly.
4) We built our house, and am consistently in the process of finishing. My master bathroom is almost all done.
5) I am a professional social worker in public child welfare.
6) I have my MSW, which I got while working full time. The baby was born during this period of life. I don't remember much of those three years.
7) I married into a huge catholic family. I have never hosted thanksgiving dinner, as it is tradition to go to Grandma Carvo's. This year, because of some unhealthy family dynamics, we are giving grandma Carvo a break and I am hosting dinner for 75.
8) I have 5 nieces, ranging in age from 19-5. I have 8 nephews ranging in age from 16-3.
9) I have two god daughters ( one is a niece and one is a child from work that a friend adopted) three god sons ( two nephews, and one is the brother to my friends' adopted child.)
10) I am Catholic. I was baptized Methodist, went to a non denominational church during my adolescent, went to a Presbyterian college, left the church and investigated paganism for a while, my parents converted to orthodoxy, and I converted to Catholicism when I married Steve.
30. What are you most proud of about your journey towards healthy living during the month of October? that I consistently sparked, blogged, tracked it all. That I am still here, trying everyday to be healthy. Today, i woke up with a headache, and have decided that I am having a self care day. I have the laundry going, a roast in the oven, have sparked and am skipping church to have some quiet time.
