Web Campaigning
MIT Press, 2006 - Computers - 263 pages
The use of the Web in U.S. political campaigns has developed dramatically over thecourse of the last several election seasons. In Web Campaigning, Kirsten Foot and Steven Schneiderexamine the evolution of campaigns' Web practices, based on hundreds of campaign Web sites producedby a range of political actors during the U.S. elections of 2000, 2002, and 2004. Theirdevelopmental analyses of how and why campaign organizations create specific online structuresilluminates the reciprocal relationship between these production practices and the structures ofboth the campaign organization and the electoral arena. This practice-based approach and the focuson campaigns as Web producers make the book a significant methodological and theoreticalcontribution to both science and technology studies and political communication scholarship.Foot andSchneider explore the inherent tension between the desire of campaigns to maintain control overmessages and resources and the generally decentralizing dynamic of Web-based communication. Theyanalyze specific strategies by which campaigns mitigate this, examining the ways that the productiontechniques, coproducing Web content, online-offline convergence, and linking to other Web sitesmediate the practices of informing, involving, connecting, and mobilizing supporters. Theirconclusions about the past decade's trajectory of Web campaigning point the way to a politicaltheory of technology and a technologically grounded theory of electoral politics.A digitalinstallation available on the web illustrates core concepts discussed in the text of the book withexamples drawn from archived campaign Web sites. Users have the opportunity to search these conceptsin the context of fully operational campaign sites, recreating the Web experience of users duringthe election periods covered in the book.

|Wolverine (Logan)
This old man of an undeterminable age spent many years wandering through the wilderness and hinterlands of Canada, surviving through brawls and feats of strength. The only link to his seemingly forgotten past is the dog tag "Wolverine" from the Canadian Army.
Wolverine has an innate healing ability that will recover damage during a battle, and he can augment that by focusing all of his energy when not in battle into recovering all lost energy. Wolverine also has Adamantium Claws (toughest metal in existence) as well as a skeleton grafted with more Adamantium, making him a brutal fighter who can take a lot of punishment and rip through almost any material with ease.
Wolverine also possesses a great anger, which can be channeled into a Fury when his Fury Meter fills up. While in this mode, he attacks with brutal aggression, able to ignore enemy defenses while inflicting great damage, healing himself by landing blows upon the enemy.
Iceman (Bobby Drake)
Iceman is a younger student in Xavier's school who has progressed enough to be pressed into service with the results of X-2 the movie still being felt. Iceman comes from a nice family who turned their back on him once he revealed his mutant abilities to him, so his family is with the fellow students, teachers, and Rogue, all at Xavier's school.
Iceman has the ability to take moisture from the air and freeze it in a myriad of ways, bending it to do his will. Whether he is flying through the air by sliding along the ice path he creates, using his Icebeam to freeze things or extinguish fires, creating a Frost Shield to deflect attacks, or using the mighty hailstorm attack to destroy targets, Bobby can handle himself well.
Nightcrawler (Kurt Wagner)
A former circus performer in Germany, Nightcrawler suddenly burst into the lives of the X-men when he was foiled in an assassination attempt upon the President of the United States of America (though it was later revealed he was under the control of the diabolical William Stryker, a man dedicated to destroying the mutant population). Now unsure of where he came from, Kurt seeks to find himself, whether his path lies with the X-Men or does it lead elsewhere.
Nightcrawler is a strange looking creature, but his acrobatic skills are augmented by his incredible mutation that allows him to poof out of existence in one spot and fly to another spot close by, able to pass through solid walls, people, and all sorts of dangerous objects. In fact, he can use this ability to position himself in spots where he will be able to attack an enemy without warning, landing multiple hits before the enemy realizes where the attack is emanating from. Though weak in strength, his ability to keep hopping around the area of the fight in seamless fashion will keep him from taking much damage, allowing him to pick apart the opposition.

What What I hear you cry..... well for the past couple of months I've been working to transcribe the 1841 Census and GRO Births up to 1841. I have done this for the following surnames
It appears that the families were only resident in England, with the exception of one family of four who were living in Guernsey.
At the taking of the 1841 Census the greatest percentage of person's with the above surnames were resident in Middlesex, followed by Surrey and then Kent. Closely behind is Yorkshire. This would suggest that there are 2 main branches of the name, possibly with different origins?? Either way more research is required.
|Table to show distributi
In total there are 445 individuals recorded on the 1841 Census.
According the GRO Births register there were only 51 births between the start of registration in 1837 and Quarter 2 (April, May, June) of 1841. Of these 22 individuals cannot be located on the census, however I managed to 'kill-off' 9 by using the GRO Death entries, leaving a total of 13 who are unaccounted for.
Similarly, there are 22 individuals with an estimated birth date between 1837 and 1841 who are not accounted for on the GRO index.
For possible reasons behind this I contacted members of the Guild of One Name Studies Forum as I also wanted to know how the more experienced members would deal with such a situation. The following explanations were presented and I've put my thoughts in blue
- Remember that in 1841 ages were rounded up, or down to the nearest 5 years. Whilst this is true it doesn't account for the youngest individuals that I am missing; these are often babes who's ages were recorded in months, or years under 5.
- In the early years of registration there were many people who neglected to register the birth. Failure to comply with civil registration did not incur a fine until 1874.
- The enumerator could have misheard or mistranscribed the family, or missed them completely.
- They may have left the country.
- Children could have been registered under one name, but known by another. This still happens in our family. My Uncle John is actually Uncle David John and my Great Grandmother was known as Nellie but her name was actually Mary Ellen.
- The actual Census may be missing due to fire, or so damaged that they cannot be read. I will have to go through the lists of known missing pieces and double check.
- Illegitimacy - children could be registered under their mother's name, later adopting their father or step-father's name.
- It could be a simple case of mistranscription. Different companies use different transcribers. Check from two separate sources if possible. I have used Ancestry for this exercise as I subscribe to this service. Previously I have compare the index figures from the three main sites (Family Search, Find My Past and Ancestry). I found that Ancestry has a much higher instance of STEAR and STEARS recorded than the other two sites so it may be that the surnames are mistranscribed.
- To date I have a total of 590 individuals in the STEERS ONS.
- Included in this number are 67 marriages.
- On the 1841 England & Channel Isle Census there are 445 individuals.
- Each census image has been downloaded and saved to the individuals (a total of 204 images).
- There are 13 individuals from the GRO Birth Register 'missing' from the 1841 census.
- There are 22 individuals from the 1841 Census with an estimated birth between 1837 and quarter 2 of 1841. It is likely that these were not registered.
- STIERS was added to my list of variant spellings.

N2985 is a proposal by Michael Everson to encode four additional Tibetan letters that are used for transcribing Urdu or Arabic words when writing the Balti language (nothing to do with curry) :
- TIBETAN LETTER KKA = Reversed letter KA (U+0F40), transcribing [q]
- TIBETAN LETTER RRA = Reversed letter RA (U+0F62), transcribing [ɽ]
- TIBETAN LETTER KHHA = Letter KHA (U+0F41) with an "ear" (U+0F39), transcribing [x]
- TIBETAN LETTER GHHA = Letter GA (U+0F42) with an "ear" (U+0F39), transcribing [ɣ]
The first two of the proposed letters are uncontroversial as encoding a new character is the only way to deal with letters that are created by reversal of existing letters. However, the other two letters are problematic, as there is already an established mechanism for dealing with Tibetan letters that are created by the addition of an "ear" (Tibetan tsa 'phru ཙ་འཕྲུ་ or sbrang gsad སྦྲང་གསད་). This is explained in the Unicode Standard 4.0 section 9.11 (my highlighting) :
The sign U+0F39 TIBETAN MARK TSA -PHRU (tsa-'phru, which is a lenition mark) is the ornamental flaglike mark that is an integral part of the three consonants U+0F59 TIBETAN LETTER TSA, U+0F5A TIBETAN LETTER TSHA, and U+0F5B TIBETAN LETTER DZA. Although those consonants are not decomposable, this mark has been abstracted and may by itself be applied to "pha" and other consonants to make new letters for use in transliteration and transcription of other languages. For example, in modern literary Tibetan, it is one of the ways used to transcribe the Chinese "fa" and "va" sounds not represented by the normal Tibetan consonants. Tsa-'phru is also used to represent tsa, tsha, or dza in abbreviations.
Thus, according to the Unicode Standard it is quite clear that the Balti letters KHA and GA with a flag should be represented as a sequence of KHA plus TSA -PHRU <0F41 0F39> and GA plus TSA -PHRU <0F42 0F39> respectively. Why then are these two letters being proposed for encoding as distinct characters ?
Well, the main reason is that there is a problem with U+0F39 that means that Tibetan text that uses this character may not render correctly if it is normalized; and due to the infamous Stability Policy this problem cannot be fixed. The details of the problem are quite simple : U+0F39 has been assigned an immutable canonical combining class of 216, and Tibetan vowel signs have canonical combining classes of 130 and 132; which means that when normalized U+0F39 will be reordered after any vowel signs, which is wrong as U+0F39 should be more closely attached to the base consonant than vowel signs.
The end result is that under Windows Vista a base consonant followed directly by TSA -PHRU renders correctly, but when normalized so that a vowel sign falls between a base consonant and TSA -PHRU it renders incorrectly (images taken using Uniscribe version 1.0606.5112.0 and the Tibetan Machine Uni font) :
Note that this is only a problem if TSA -PHRU is followed by a vowel, and only if the text has been normalized. Personally I do not think that the defect with the combining canonical class of U+0F39 is a legitimate reason to encode these two letters as precomposed characters. The Microsoft rendering engine (Uniscribe) could and should be changed so that both normalized and unnormalized sequences render correctly.
The real problem with accepting precomposed characters for these two cases is that there are other letters that are formed by the addition of a flag, and if it is deemed necessary to encode KHA plus TSA -PHRU and GA plus TSA -PHRU separately, then all the other transliteration letters formed with TSA -PHRU should also be encoded separately. There are quite a few of these :
- <0F55, 0F39> ཕ༹, PHA plus TSA -PHRU = [f]
- <0F56, 0F39> བ༹, BA plus TSA -PHRU = [v]
- <0F50, 0F39> ཐ༹, THA plus TSA -PHRU = [θ]
- <0F51, 0F39> ད༹, DA plus TSA -PHRU = [ð]
- <0F5E, 0F39> ཞ༹, ZHA plus TSA -PHRU (PRC Tibetan Set A U+F56B, see also N2621)
- <0F5F, 0F39> ཟ༹, ZHA plus TSA -PHRU (PRC Tibetan Set A U+F57C, see also N2621)
- <0F60, 0F39> འ༹, -A plus TSA -PHRU [Old Tibetan usage] (PRC Tibetan Set A U+F590, see also N2621)
Incidentally, [f] and [v] are nowadays more commonly represented using HA plus SUBJOINED PHA <0F67 0FA5> ཧྥ and HA plus SUBJOINED BA <0F67 0FA6> ཧྦ.
In addition to these seven atomic letters that are composed using TSA -PHRU, TSA -PHRU is also attached to a variety of letters when writing informal shorthand contractions (bskungs-yig བསྐུངས་ཡིག་ "concealed writing" or bsdu-yig བསྡུ་ཡིག་ "conglomerated writing"), where it is used to represent the letters U+0F59 TSA, U+0F5A TSHA, U+0F5B DZA or U+0F5F ZA. The letters it attaches to include U+0F42 GA, U+0F44 NGA, U+0F46 CHA (!), U+0F51 DA, U+0F53 NA, U+0F55 PHA, U+0F56 BA, U+0F62 RA (on the ra mgo in the combination RGYA) and U+0F63 LA, as can be seen in the following examples :
- ཀུན༹ང་ = ཀུན་བཟང་
- ཀོུབ༹་ = ཀུན་རྫོབ་
- སྐལ༹ང་ = སྐལ་བཟང་
- རྒྱོ༹་ = རྒྱ་མཚོ་
- ཁོུས༹་ = ཁུར་ཚོས་
- རྒྱལ༹ན་ = རྒྱལ་མཚན་
- ཆོུ༹ད་ = ཆུ་ཚོད་
- རྗེུན༹་ = རྗེ་བཙུན་
- ཏིངི་ན༹་ = ཏིང་འཛིན་
- ཐེུག༹ས་ = ཐུགས་བརྩེ་
- བདིུད༹་ = བདུད་རྩི་
- སྣོག༹ས་ = སྣོ་ཚོགས་
- ཕྱ༹ལོ་ = ཕྱག་འཚལ་ལོ་
- ཕོུག༹ས་ = ཕུན་ཚོགས་
- བྱོ༹གས་ = བྱ་ཚོགས་
- སྦྲིང༹་ = སྦྲང་རྩི་
- ལྷ༹ཾས་ = ལྷ་མཚམས་
Thus, if the precomposed letters KHHA (KHA plus TSA -PHRU) and GHHA (GA plus TSA -PHRU) are accepted for encoding, then precomposed forms of at least seven other letters plus TSA -PHRU also need to be encoded, and given its common use in shorthand contractions attached to almost any letter, it may be prudent to simply encode TSA -PHRU versions of all thirty plus Tibetan consonants. Not only would this be a major change to the Tibetan encoding model, but due to the constraints of the Stability Policy none of the precomposed letters with TSA -PHRU would be canonically equivalent to the decomposed forms that are currently in use. This would introduce all sorts of problems with legacy data. Moreover, people would still be able to compose transcription letters using TSA -PHRU rather than using the new precomposed letters if they wanted (TSA -PHRU could be deprecated but once encoded a character can never be removed from the standard), thus resulting in multiple non-equivalent spellings. All in all, I believe that such a change would be disastrous, causing chaos for years to come.
So, in conclusion, I hope to see TIBETAN LETTER KKA and TIBETAN LETTER RRA encoded soon (preferably in Unicode 5.1), and Tibetan rendering engines and/or fonts modified so that they render Consonant plus TSA -PHRU sequences correctly with or without intervening vowel signs.
Addendum [2006-10-08]
As I hoped, at the September 2006 Tokyo meeting of WG2 it was agreed to encode TIBETAN LETTER KKA and TIBETAN LETTER RRA at U+0F6B and U+0F6C respectively, and not to encode the two precomposed letters with TSA -PHRU. The two accepted letters are under final ballot for inclusion in ISO/IEC 10646:20003 Amd.3, which will correspond to Unicode 5.1.

Hubble Hunts Down Binary Objects at the Fringe of Our Solar System
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope snapped pictures of a double system of icy bodies in the Kuiper Belt. This composite picture shows the apparent orbit of one member of the pair. In reality, the objects, called 1998 WW31, revolve around a common center of gravity, like a pair of waltzing skaters. This picture shows the motion of one member of the duo [the six faint blobs] relative to the other [the large white blob]. The blue oval represents the orbital path. Astronomers assembled this picture from six separate exposures, taken from July to September 2001, December 2001, and January to February 2002.
Astronomers used the Hubble telescope to study the orbit of this binary system. They then used that information to determine other characteristics of the duo, such as their total mass, and their orbital period (the time it takes them to orbit each other).

This is a Viking Original. The performer has a card selected then returned to the deck. The entire deck is placed in a wooden, open top box. The whole unit is now covered by a handkerchief. The spectator is asked to name his card and then the box is shaken. One card slips out through a small slit in the end of the box and falls to the table.The performer sets the covered box down and turns over the tabled card...it is the spectators' selected card!
"Not so difficult", says the performer, "when its the only card in the box". The performer uncovers the box and lo and behold, the box is empty. The entire deck has vanished!
No deck shells or special cards; it's all in the box and special handling. Everything included: cards, box and instructions. You supply the silk and presentation.

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. --- The Tennessee Tech baseball team saw five players receive all-OVC honors, including Ben Burgess who was named all-OVC First Team, Zach Stephens, who was named all-OVC Second Team and a trio of players in Dylan Bosheers, Seth Lucio and David Hess who were named to the all-Freshman Team.
Southeast Missouri's Trenton Moses was named the OVC Player of the Year, while Eastern Illinois' Brant Valach was named the OVC Rookie of the Year. Eastern Kentucky's Matt Fyffe was named the OVC Pitcher of the Year, while his coach Jason Stein was named the OVC Coach of the Year.
Burgess, a senior from Brentwood, Tenn., earned a first-team selection after finishing his season with six home runs and 29 RBIs, while batting .321. His .321 batting average led all catchers in the OVC. He finished his career at Tech second all-time in games played (210), and second all-time in hits (243).
"Ben has always been a steady presence in our lineup during the last four seasons," head coach Matt Bragga said. "He helped us win two championships and he always seemed to hit in the middle of our lineup which speaks volumes about him."
A native of Soddy-Daisy, Tenn., Stephens was named second-team after leading the Golden Eagles in several offensive categories including hits (75), runs (44), home runs (18) and RBIs (52). His 18 home runs ranked second in the OVC, while his 52 runs batted in placed him in fifth in the conference standings.
"For Zach to be in the category with those senior first basemen speaks shows a lot about him as a player," Bragga said. "He started off the season hot and was able to sustain it for a long time. I'm anxious to see his junior and senior seasons."
Bosheers, a freshman out of Lawrenceburg, Tenn., started in every game during his freshman campaign at second base. He finished his season batting .277, with 34 RBIs and four home runs, to go along with 36 runs scored and a total of 53 hits.
"Bosheers started every game for us as a freshman and was a in one of the top offensive lineups in the conference," Bragga said. "He plays the game hard and we are excited about his future."
Lucio, a freshman from Locust Grove, Ga., finished his freshman season with 3-2 record, while posting 60 strikeouts in 48.2 innings pitched. His most memorable performance of the season came on March 13, where he guided Tech to its first win on the road at Tennessee since 1990. Against the Volunteers, he threw 8.1 innings and struck out 11 batters in TTU's 3-1 victory over Tennessee.
A native of Tullahoma, Tenn., Hess made 19 appearances on the mound for the Golden Eagles, including seven starts. He posted three wins in 61.2 innings pitched, while notching 51 strikeouts. He threw at least six innings in four games, including an eight-inning performance against Southeast Missouri where he struck out 10 batters.
"To be able to pitch all those innings was a huge thing for Hess and Lucio," Bragga said. "They both showed that they had great arms and if they continue to improve should be a great nucleus for our team in the future."

An 18-hit attack, including six doubles, carried Dale to a 14-4 triumph over Roff Monday.
Dale led just 7-4 entering the top of the seventh but tallied seven runs to end any semblance of suspense.
Tanner Nelson of Dale went 4-for-4 with a double and three singles. Chase Byndas accounted for three hits, including two doubles, and Jace Wilkins chipped in with two two-baggers.
Evan Anderson notched three hits, including a double, Hunter Pinkston also had three hits while Gage Ross and Gage Ross added two singles apiece.
Dale stranded 13 runners. "We've left a lot of people on base this year," Dale coach Jerry Sanford said.
Tanner Nelson, who hurled the first five innings, gave up four runs and five hits while earning the victory. Byndas, who went the last two innings, struck out three and didn't give up a hit.
Dale, 10-1, will travel to Oktaha today for a 4:30 p.m. varsity/JV doubleheader.

CHICAGO, Feb. 8 (UPI) -- Hyundai Wednesday showed off two siblings to its hot-selling Elantra sedan, a two-door sport coupe and a five-door hatchback, at the Chicago Auto Show.
Elantra has been on a roll, picking up car of the year honors at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January. The South Korean automaker sold 1 million Elantras worldwide in 2011 and hopes to build on the success of the compact with the 2013 Coupe and 2013 GT, both arriving at dealerships in the spring.
The new cars share the same 148-horsepower, 1.8-liter Nu 4-cylinder engine and powertrain as the sedan, with either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. The Coupe SE model has five-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels and the same "Fludic Sculpture" design as the Elantra sedan.
The Nu engine has an aluminum block with cast iron cylinder liner, cylinder head and crank that's 30 percent lighter than an iron engine block.
The Coupe is "bigger than the [Honda] Civic, [Ford] Focus and [Toyota] Matrix," Mike O'Brien, vice president of product and corporate planning, said at the auto show media preview. The Coupe is 175 pounds lighter than the Ford Focus, 151 pounds lighter than the Mazda 3 and 222 pounds lighter than the Volkswagen Golf.
Hyundai sales jumped 20 percent in 2011 and John Krafcik, president and chief executive officer of Hyundai Motor America, said growth was limited only by capacity to build Elantras at its Montgomery, Ala., plant where the sedan is assembled.
"We began the move toward smaller lighter cars in 2008, when gas prices spiked," Krafcik said. "Now we have, I believe, the most fuel-efficient line in the industry, rising to 36.7 [mpg] in January, up 3 miles per gallon from a year earlier." He said Hyundai had the right mix of vehicles and this was the year for customer satisfaction.
Hyundai estimates mileage for the Elantra Coupe at 29 miles per gallon city and 40 miles per gallon highway, while the GT hatchback returns 28 mpg city and 39 mpg highway.

Most ACL2 primitives are documented. Here is the definition of
app again, with the documented topics highlighted. All of the
links below lead into the ACL2 online documentation, 1.5 megabytes of
hyperlinked text. So follow these links around, but remember to come
back here!
(defun app (x y) (cond ((endp x) y) (t (cons (car x) (app (cdr x) y)))))
By following the link on endp we see that it is a
Common Lisp function and is defined to be the same as atom
, which recognizes non-conses. But
endp has a guard.
Since we are ignorning guards for now, we'll ignore the guard issue
So this definition reads ``to
x and
y: if
x is an
atom, return
y; otherwise,
(cdr x) and
y and then
(car x) onto that.''

Cisco this week rolled out products and services designed to ease the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 for enterprise customers.
Cisco says the offerings address findings from an internal study that indicates IT is concerned about the security, deployment and maintenance of IPv6 and intends to seek assistance in managing the changeover. The company says its switches, routers and security devices have passed both international and US government IPv6 testing, and that many were operating and on display at the recent Interop trade show.
That was the first time InteropNet, which supported more than 15,000 attendees and 400 exhibitors, ran IPv4 and IPv6 side by side, end to end, Cisco says.
The new IPv6-compliant additions include support for IPSec v2 VPNs on Cisco's ISR G2 branch routers, and stateful NAT64 support on the ASR 1000 series routers, which enables IPv6 devices to access IPv4 servers. The company has also added support for Location/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) to its IOS router software.
LISP is a Cisco-developed method of automating the creation and modification of IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnels for dual stack configurations. LISP would logically separate a block of IP addresses that a company advertises out to the global Internet so they don't have to be changed if the company is using more than one ISP. LISP proponents also say the technique would make it easier for companies to switch carriers without having to acquire new IP addresses because the identification function would remain constant even if the location information changes.
For assistance in migrating customers to IPv6, Cisco unveiled a network optimisation service that features IPv6 device-readiness assessment and optimisation. Cisco is also offering an IPv6 access security service for its products.
Cisco's survey found that 78% of the 101 senior IT leaders queried have made or are currently making the transition to IPv6. More than half have either sought or plan to seek assistance of outside consultants during the transition, and 92% said their security team is involved in the transition.
Also, 54% deemed the move essential to the organisation, while 73% were concerned about "missing out on the benefits" of IPv6, Cisco said. Of those surveyed, 63% said that an executive committee is overseeing the effort.
Cisco said it has committed to the 24 hour global "test drive" of IP's next version on June 8.

Discovering Digital Scrapbooking
I've discovered a new hobby. Honestly I don't know how I will keep up with my hobbies but this one is not really new – Scrapbooking has been part of my life on and off in the past few years. But with four kids it is hard to find the time and the energy to do it.
Enter my opportunity to review a Bamboo Craft earlier this year and with it I got introduced to digital scrapbooking. And you know what I think it is perfect for the blogs. But I also like creating pages from hand and preserve them for my kids.
But this digital scrapbooking is fun. I admit that I am getting hook on it. So when I had a minute earlier this week, I googled and found a bunch of free scrapbook pages and embellishments. What do you think I did? – yep download them!
And I played with it… for fun. I am trying to redesign my review blog and found fun things for it. And I played with the scrapbook part of it.
This specific page has been done with a layout I've found at http://mizzkitten.blogspot.com/.
Digital scrapbooking is interesting. I love the flexibility of it and the fact that I don't have to print tons of pictures to make my pages. It is different than what I am used to but so much easier to put on a blog and share.
I had swtiched a long time ago to blogger and wanted to bring the old posts as well. Unfortunately when I started this transfer I couldn't export the blog. Well since then Homeschoolblogger has gone to Wordpress and now exporting was possible. However, I couldn't import it into blogger.
After searching a bit on google, I found a website that does a temporary conversion and then I was able to import the older blog entries here.
I'm so happy and relaxed now. No need to cut and paste... YEAH!
Psalm 148
Have you looked around you lately? I mean really look at what is out there…
Recently I was reading Psalm 148 which is a praise Psalm for the God who created everything. And I realized that wherever we go, whatever we are doing, we can see God's handprints around us.
Think about it a minute…
Babies and children
Sunsets and Sunrises
Witnessing a turtle laying her eggs
Birds, fishes, animals and insects
Trees, plants and flowers
Wind, rain, snow, and any kind of weather
Fruits and vegetables
Us – human beings
Anything and everything that surrounds us shows how God was creative and ready to do anything for us to discover Him. God has thought about every aspect of each created things; complexity, purpose, originality, colors, and the list could go on and on.
When a child discovers and explores the world, he sees everything with new eyes. So why as adults do we miss all this. Perhaps we don't take the time to stop, observe and discover God with brand new eyes. Have you done so lately? When was the last time you saw a sunset or observe ants for that matter?
Go out today and look around you as if you have the eyes of a child. It could be in your backyard, on your street, in the park down the road, in the field, in the forest – anywhere. Go camping with your kids. Discover fishing. Enjoy taking a walk outside or biking or simply sitting down on the beach and watch the waves come in. Go visit tide pools, take the time to admire each animals you encounter whether in the park or at the zoo. Smells the roses (and other flowers too!). Go pick strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, apples and any other kind of fruit or vegetable that you can go pick yourself. Smell the dirt. Dig your toes in the mud after a rain. Go dance in the rain. You will discover a God who loves you dearly and who wishes to spend time with you. Take the time to thank Him for all the created things in the world. And praise Him. Wholeheartedly.

Walking With Jesus
*To see what the Lord is teaching some other sisters in Christ check out the Walking with Jesus Meme over at Guiding Light Homeschool.
This week was though on me. I've been dealings with mostly downs. And it hit me bad about two days ago. And then I remembered…
" Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take." PROVERBS 3:5-6
Many Christians know this verse by heart.
But it is always good to remind ourselves about the truth in it.
Trusting someone we don't see is hard at times – especially when you don't see what is in the future. But God knows better than us. He knows what is needed in our life and what is good for us. So no matter what, we need to trust Him.
If I depend on my own understanding when I feel blue and depressed, then I might do something that will harm myself. When you hit bottom and are teary eyes and can't seem to see a positive side, it's hard to think "happy" thoughts.
I'm fortunate to have an husband who is there for me. And to be reminded – thanks for my daily readings – that God is always there no matter what is going on in my life.
Why did I felt depressed this week? I don't know. Maybe not having enough time for myself, too tired, and realizing that finding a church family is taking longer than I would have liked. So I cried out to my Father in heaven and asked him to direct us to a church where we can growth, have friends, support and love, where we can get involve and make a difference, where the kids will be comfortable and make friends too.
I've read somewhere that when you are looking for a church, it can take up to a year to find something for your family. I will not get discourage. I will trust God that He will bring us to an amazing church.
In the meantime, I will continue to read His Word, meditate on it, let God speak to me and homeschool my kids. This is my calling for now. And I plan to embrace it fully.
Oh! And I sense that God is guiding me to get to know him better by registering to a three-year program going on in a church in town. I'm looking into it right now. It is once a week from September through May and I would be among adults. The only thing that is bugging me is that it is at the other end of the city which means lots of travelling. So I am thinking about it, praying about it and considering it. But if God is directing me on this path there must be a reason…. don't you think?
PS I'm glad that my sisters in Christ participating to the Walking with Jesus like the button I created last week.
Fishing Trip on White Lake
On July 5th, we drove to White Lake and rented a pontoon boat for our first family fishing trip. Here's some images from our morning on the water.
|Create a free digital slideshow
Walking With Jesus
The idea behind Walking With Jesus is quite simple. You have to blog about a Scripture verse that has been with you throughout this week, or yesterday or today. Quite simple and easy to do.
So for this week, while doing devotions a verse struck me.
"Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself, like a weaned child who no longer cries for its mother's milk. Yes, like a weaned child is my soul within me." Psalm 131:2Some of you might wonder where I am going with this but what struck me was the notes attached to this particular verse. The notes are taken from the Transformation Bible.
Here's what I've read…
The simile of the weaned child is a beautiful picture of the meaning of humility and maturity. Hebrew children were weaned at age three or four, and this experience marked the end of their infancy. But most children do not want to be deprived of mother's loving arms and satisfying breasts, and they feel rejected and unwanted. But after the crisis of birth, each child must eventually be weaned and learn the first lesson in the school of life: Growing up involves painful losses that can lead to wonderful gains.Then is went on for part b of the verse with
God's goal for us is emotional and spiritual maturity (1 Cor 13:11; 14:20' Eph 4:13-15), and God sometimes has to wean us away from good things in order to give us better things. Abraham had to leave his family and city, send Ishmael away, separate from Lot, and put Isaac on the altar. To accept God's will in the losses, and gains of life is to experience that inner calm that is so necessary if we are to be mature people.Then I asked God the following questions…
- is HEAT a painful lesson for me?
- Why don't I want to let go?
- Do I need to let go and grieve?
- Then we will have wonderful gains…?
So after asking these questions – I sensed a YES in my soul. I need to let go. I need to grieve HEAT and let go. Let our baby go. Peace swept inside me. I share with my husband and he feels at peace as well.
Since this, another leader expressed the wish to take over with his wife. Maybe it was meant to be. They are more gifted to reach out to the rave community than us in many ways. However, we have told them to have at least 20 regular people before re-starting the church services and that we would be willing to be mentors for them – things we didn't have when we planted. HEAT is planning an event in July with a DJ coming all the way from Pennsylvania. And another event are in the drawing for September. We will participate as much as we can – encourage the team to pursue and continue to reach out.
Hubby says a rock has been lifted up from his shoulders. Me I am still grieving. But I am encourage that God will bless us in the process. The seed has been planted. HEAT is recognized for their cool decors and clean raves. Let me tears grow the seed now.
I'm heartbroken. I pray that God will also bring us to a church family who will love us and uplift us. A church where we can get involved in ways we cannot imagine right now. Amen.
I've also took the liberty to create a button to go with this blog post.
All about Psalms 23 – Christian Group Writing Project
I have been challenged to participate to a Christian Group Writing Project. How it works? Simple. A list of topics are offered on Faithful Blogger and you can choose to write on a topic on your blog. Then you need to go back and post the link of your post in the comments section so that everyone can read it. Each blogger has a couple of days to choose the topic and then a week to write the post.
The first assignment is Psalm 23. We could choose ANY verse from the Psalm and write about it. I chose verse 2.
"He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters"
Green Pastures
It is important to remember that life is not always greener on the other side of the fence. Sometimes, everything seems to be going well and then suddenly road blocks seem to be emerging on your path. *sigh*
We experienced this last year. We had a though year. Hard on the financial, spiritual and personal side of life. The business was struggling. Our church plant which we were pastoring had to shut it's doors. I personally experienced rejection with a close family member. But through all this, God was faithful always reminding us (together or either one of us) that He is walking with us at any times.
So we slowed down a bit and put our focus on Him. After all, in the midst of all that was happening He was still there. Waiting for us. Providing. Taking care of us.
Personally, it was also a time to reconnect with my Savior. A time to sit down and reflect on all that He has done and what He was doing. I didn't have the whole picture in front of me. Just bits and pieces but one word came over and over again – TRUST.
So God forced us to lie down, to stop wrestling with the issues that came from every sides and to connect with Him. And we went through the hard times.
Oh! We had ups and downs. Fortunately not at the same time for my husband and I. But I did felt despair at times and I turned to Him who reminded me that He was there no matter what.
This past spring, I took a picture of my daughter walking in a field. I love to think that I was walking with God in a meadow and sitting with Him to rest. I wasn't alone I know it but I can say that there was days I wondered and questioned. But in the end, I realized that He was bigger than any problem that could come my way and that He was ever present in my life.
Quiet Waters
This past Monday – we went fishing on White Lake, ON. Mind you it wasn't quiet with 6 people on the boat but I had the opportunity to take pictures of the lake and enjoy God's creation – from loons and eagles to fishes and dragonflies.
The water were not so calm that day. There were waves. But when I took this picture, the sun was rising and the water were smooth.
Quiet waters. Water of life. God himself being able to calm the storms of life – the struggles and the hurricanes going on when we don't know where to put our feet anymore.
Turning to the Bible has been a lifesaver for me. Deciding to read through the Bible since January a blessing for my life. My Transformation Study Bible has an interesting note for verse two.
"The word translated "leads" means "to lead gently".
Apparently when you are a shepherd, you cannot drive sheep. The sheep will follow the shepherd's voice and follow him. No need to yell, to hurry them, just play calmness in the voice. This is exactly how God calms me while I go further and further in the Bible. And He is so ever gentle with me. I also took the habit recently to list my praises and thanks of the previous day in my journal. A simple thing to do everyday but so rewarding at the end when you stop writing and already you have filled a whole page in your notebook.
This got me thinking. When you go through hard times, when God shows up and helps you to slow down, there is a reason. It will help you grow close to Him, trust Him with every aspects of your life and realize that He is in control.
In case you are wondering our though times went on until early Spring. We are doing better. The business is rolling but it would be nice to have a few more opportunities of contracts. On the family side, I realized that I needed to become an intercessor for a close person in my heart. So daily I pray to God that He will work a miracle and that He will show His presence to that person. As for the church, well we are still waiting for an answer. But we also know that ultimately God is working even when we don't see it.

Emmanuel Nyuon Child Sex Trafficking Trial Under Way in Sioux Falls
SIOUX FALLS - A trial for a Sioux Falls man accused of conspiring to sell a 14-year-old girl for sex is under way.
The Argus Leader reports that the trial for 34-year-old Emmanuel Nyuon started Tuesday with jury selection. Nyuon is charged with one count of sex trafficking of a child and one count of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking by cooperating with another man to set up prostitution ads in Sioux Falls.
During opening statements, Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin Kiliner says Nyuon lured a trouble teenager into sex trafficking and profited by selling her to men who found an ad for her on an escort website.
Nyuon's defense lawyer contends that the girl's story and that of several witnesses changed over time.
The trial is expected to last through Friday.

Around this time every year, I wait for them to appear, those ruby red or speckled green-and-pink stalks of rhubarb. More than any other fruit or vegetable, rhubarb to me is a sign of the changing season. It is the signal that summer is arriving in bundles of tart stalks to be baked into pies and cakes, stewed to make a bright pink syrup for cocktails.
'Stalking' up on rhubarb: welcome summer with simple cake recipe
Around this time every year, I wait for them to appear, those ruby red or speckled green-and-pink stalks of rhubarb.
More than any other fruit or vegetable, rhubarb to me is a sign of the changing season. It is the signal that summer is arriving in bundles of tart stalks to be baked into pies and cakes, stewed to make a bright pink syrup for cocktails.
I snap up what I can when I see it at the farmers' markets and I'm not above begging friends with healthy supplies to share their wealth. I take all I can and more, slicing and freezing the excess for rhubarb cravings that come later in the season.
Year-round, I save rhubarb recipes as I wait, imagining the hand pies, scones and fools I will make once I get my hands on the first stalks of the season.
A few weeks ago, tweets began appearing in my timeline that the time for rhubarb was finally here. But I was going to be away for the following two weekends and didn't want to buy any without having the proper time to dedicate to making all the things I had been craving over the past several months. I would have to wait.
On the final day of being away, as I played fetch with my friend's dog in the backyard of their Victoria, B.C., home, I spied in the corner of their garden a mass of rhubarb. The giant, lushly green leaves created a canopy over the bed, hiding away a forest of ruby stalks that had visions of baking filling my head. Could I please, I asked, take just a little bit of it home with me? "Take as much as you'd like," I was instructed. "We probably won't use much of it."
With knife in hand, I culled a huge bundle of the stuff (trying to still show some restraint, though tempted to take it all), rolled it into a plastic shopping bag and packed it in my luggage for the flight back to Calgary. I was glad I hadn't bothered to take much out to the coast, giving me that much more room for this care package of rhubarb.
It was the best souvenir of the trip.
A few days later, I finally had enough time to get into the kitchen and put that souvenir to use.
In the past, I've fallen in love with crumb cakes and little cobblers. I have serious plans for pie. And no summer is complete without a rhubarb cocktail from a recipe my grandmother gave me several years ago.
But for the first rhubarb of the season, I wanted to start simply. A recipe for Norwegian Rhubarb Cake seemed like the right place.
A very straightforward cake, there's no need to cream butter and sugar, no fussing over letting the rhubarb macerate in sugar. There's not even a need to break out the mixer.
So, in the space of less than 45 minutes, I had cake — and the first bite of rhubarb this year.
Still warm from the oven, it was the perfect afternoon snack. Not overly sweet, it's punctuated with tart pieces of rhubarb that played nicely against the tender cake.
Thankfully, too, it only put a small dent in my rhubarb supply, leaving me plenty more for the next project. I just need to decide which one.
Norwegian Rhubarb Cake
I found the recipe on a blog called Outside Oslo and adapted it only slightly, upping the amount of rhubarb and omitting a dusting of icing sugar, which people should still feel free to do just before serving. A dollop of sweetened whipped cream would be nice, as well, but is not necessary.
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) butter
- 1/3 cup (80 mL) milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup (250 mL) sugar
- 1 1/4 cup (310 mL) flour
- 1 1/2 tsp (7 mL) baking powder
- Pinch salt
- 1/4 to 1/3 lb (125 to 170 g) rhubarb, sliced into 1/2-inch (1-cm) coins
Preheat the oven to 350F (180C).
Butter an 8- or 9-inch springform pan.
In a small saucepan set over medium heat, melt the butter, then stir in the milk. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until pale and well mixed. While still mixing, slowly pour in the butter and milk. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and stir until just combined, then pour into the prepared springform pan. Sprinkle over the rhubarb slices.
Bake until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 35 minutes. (Cakes baked in a smaller springform pan will take a bit longer because the cake is deeper.)
Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge of the cake, if necessary, before removing the springform side.
Serve warm.
Makes 1 cake.

Singapore gets WTA Championships for five years
Singapore – Singapore has been awarded the year-end WTA Championships for five years, starting next year.
Under terms of a record-setting five-year agreement, the top-8 singles players and, for the first time, the top-8 doubles teams will compete for a share of a record prize money purse of $6.5 million. The announcement follows an extensive global search and bidding process conducted by the WTA that elicited 43 expressions of interest from international cities that was narrowed down to three finalists -- Tianjin, China; Monterrey, Mexico; and Singapore.
"It gives me great pleasure to announce that the sensational city of Singapore has won the right to host the WTA Championships, the WTA's crown jewel season finale, for the next five years from 2014 to 2018," said Stacey Allaster, chairman and CEO of the WTA, at Wednesday's announcement. "This is the largest and most significant WTA Championships partnership in our history. It's a record-breaker.
"Singapore is exciting. It's state of the art and we love the people. I am very much looking forward to the WTA Championships in Singapore in 2014," she added.
The state-of-the-art $1.3 billion Singapore Sports Hub will host the Championships at the 7,500-seat Singapore Indoor Stadium.
With the addition of Singapore, 23 WTA events will be staged in the Asia- Pacific market in 2014, marking the first time in WTA history that there will be more tournaments in APAC than any other region in the world.
"It's incredibly exciting to have our WTA Championships heading to Singapore, which is a fantastic sporting city," said former world No. 1 Maria Sharapova. "Women's tennis is truly international, and bringing our very best event to fantastic new markets like Singapore is great way to continue to grow the sport. I can't wait to help introduce the fans of Singapore to the year-end WTA Championships."
Singapore will become the ninth different city to host the WTA Championships, joining Boca Raton (1972-1973), Los Angeles (1974-1976, 2002-2005), Oakland (1978), New York City (1977, 1979-2000), Munich (2001), Madrid (2006-2007), Doha (2008-2010) and currently Istanbul (2011-2013).
There have been 18 different winners in the event's history, with champions from 10 different nations, including Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, Sharapova and Serena Williams.
"Singapore is a wonderful city and I am really looking forward to playing our season finale in this exciting new market for women's tennis," Williams said. "I've been fortunate to qualify for WTA Championships in five different cities during my career, and I know that our new partners in Singapore and the fans of Singapore will help make take our WTA Championships to new heights."

In a pair of articles for the New York Times, Michael Luo delves into the role that anonymous donors are playing in the 2010 elections. Oddly, given his subject matter, he doesn't address the ways in which anonymity conditions what we are willing to say and how we say it.
Anyone who has glanced at a comment thread in the last ten years knows that anonymity and vitriol are intimately linked. Anonymous speakers are insulated from the consequences of their words, and that disconnect inevitably leads to harsher speech. Things we wouldn't say to a stranger on the street are happily tossed around in chat rooms and on forums.
That occurs because anonymity means less accountability: speech by unknown speakers can't rebound to their detriment, though it can damage both the target and the means through which that message was conveyed. That, in turn, incentivizes nastier messages conveyed through disposable conduits. In internet lingo, a flame war started by someone with an anonymous or misleading handle can damage its target, and the reputation of the forum as a whole long before it hurts the author.
These habits have their analogues in our politics. The astonishing growth and success (h/t CRP) of right-wing outside groups this cycle is about damaging Democrats through what are ultimately expendable conduits. Speaking through the ads aired by these organizations, GOP donors are able to elide not one, but two questions: who are you, and what does this ad mean if your guy wins?
Anonymity is the guarantor of security in both cases. It ensures the first question goes unanswered, and prevents the press from doing much more than guesswork when it comes to the second. When a harsh ad debuts, the donor needn't worry about reporters asking them whether they endorse the content. Any politician who benefits from the ad has enough room to distance himself from its content, during the campaign and afterward.
In short, the GOP filibuster of the DISCLOSE Act didn't just enable unlimited spending by anonymous donors. These groups–if they or their equivalents persist after election day–will slowly lead us down the path toward politics-as-flame-war.

NEW HAVEN — Thousands of fans flocked on Wednesday and Thursday night to see cars, trucks and minivans collide, auto parts fly, and smoke and steam billow from crushed radiators and bashed engine blocks, all while listening to the deafening din of un-muffled motors and pretzeled metal.
Yes, it was time for two nights of the No. 1 Auto Parts Demo Derby at Addison County Fair & Field Days, which draws more spectators than any single event at the fair, possibly to live out their fantasies of road rage.
NEW HAVEN — With lightning providing a dramatic backdrop at Addison County Fair and Field Days on Thursday night, Ferrisburgh's Andy Husk and what was left of his bright blue four-door sedan won the No. 1 Auto Parts Demo Derby feature after delivering one final blow to Chuck Havens' bigger, but no longer mobile, black car.
Husk's victory capped an evening in which the popular annual demo derby just dodged the thunderstorm, but was halted for about 20 minutes when Leicester's Joe Kemp was injured in the evening's second heat.
During last week's 63rd annual Addison County Fair and Field Days, the #1 Auto Parts Demolition Derby was once again among the most popular events. Over the course of two nights, fans gathered to watch old junker cars — decorated with spray paint and driven with pride — continuously smash into each other until just one vehicle was still running. The event featured separate competitions for 4-cylinder, 6-cylinder and 8-cylinder engines, as well as a minivan round and a pick-up truck round. Here, sports reporter Andy Kirkaldy gives a rundown of the popular event.
NEW HAVEN — The usual huge crowds last week flocked to both nights of what is arguably Addison County Fair and Field Days' single biggest attraction, the No. 1 Auto Parts Demolition Derby, during which veteran driver Tim Whitney won three of 11 heats and Boomer LaFountain celebrated 20 years of crunching collisions with a Thursday win.
Unlike in past years, no end-of-the-evening main feature winners were crowned. Drivers said they had mixed feelings about the format change.
NEW HAVEN — Huge crowds packed into the grandstand near the tractor pad at the Addison County Fair and Field Days Wednesday and Thursday evenings to watch the most chaotic part of the week's festivities: the No. 1 Auto Parts Demolition Derby.
The crowds — which swelled to over 4,000 each night — got their fix of mayhem as cars collided and somehow kept rolling with only two or three wheels. In each contest one car — or minivan — emerged out of the disorder still running.
The competition was pretty much as chaotic from a driver's perspective as it was from the crowd's.
