Teaching AP History for the Dr. Lan Academy
(Picture taken when my wife and I stopped by to meet with members of the Lan Academy team, who were participating at conference at Cal Tech a few miles from where we live in Pasadena, CA. Pictured here are Dr. Sikun Lan and Ms. Elizabeth Paich.)
I have been hired by the Dr. Lan Academy, an online school, to teach AP European and World history. The premise behind the school is to offer private education that is both cheaper and allows greater flexibility to individual students. This is accomplished by eliminating the brick and mortar building and replacing it with an internet video chat system that one can hook up to anywhere. These are going to be real live classroom lectures. Students will be able to interact with me and with other students through text message or through video. I am excited to be involved in this endeavor because it speaks to three themes dear to me and which I have often discussed on this blog, libertarianism, Asperger's syndrome and Orthodox Judaism.
As a libertarian, I am always on the lookout for ways to shrink the size of government in the hope of privatizing services which the government now claims a monopoly over. This ranges from wanting to privatize the post office to schools and for some of us even to dream of private police and courts. Fighting this battle politically is admittedly a frustrating and generally futile task. Government will not surrender power and shrink on its own. It is therefore exciting to be able to stand in the front lines along creative business entrepreneurs like Dr. Sikun Lan, who are offering alternatives to state run schooling. (Let me add that Dr. Lan is a true gentleman as well as a pioneer.) I do not believe that institutions the Lan Academy are going to put public schools out of business any time soon, but they are a step in the right direction. If we are going to ask the public to trust the education of their children to the free market then we have to be able to offer them a plausible option.
Students with Asperger's syndrome often struggle in formal classrooms. Such social situations risk sensory overload as one does not have the option of simply stepping away without drawing attention to oneself. Furthermore, formal classrooms require one to be in constant performance mode, making the right facial expressions and obeying the rules of conversation. The online classroom provides an ideal entrance to mainstream education. One is being integrated into a regular class with neurotypical students for the purpose of earning college credit to be used for making the transition from high school to college.
The recent financial downturn has forced the Orthodox community to begin to ask some difficult questions regarding the economic feasibility of its private school system. Certainly in the city of Los Angeles, the cost of Jewish schooling is out of control. Online schooling offers a clearly superior alternative to public schools. Let yeshivas focus on traditional religious education in the morning and let students deal with secular school in the afternoon with a company like the Lan Academy, which is very respectful of people with traditional values and actively seeks to accommodate people whatever their requirements.
I do not speak for Lan Academy and nothing I say should be taken as representing the school or its values. That being said, I find working for the school and its administration to be an act that accords well with my deepest beliefs. To those of my readers, who miss more regular posts and need a certified AP history class, here is an opportunity to have me as your teacher with my verbal antics performed live. To those with high school students or that know students, who could benefit from this opportunity, feel free to recommend me. My courses each need ten students. When we get them we will get started (probably this coming summer) with the goal of being ready for the AP exams in May 2015.

Niccolo di Giacomo (c. 1325 – c. 1403) (known also as Niccolò da Bologna)
Gabriel announces to Zacharias
From Missal said to be of Clément VII and Urban V
Tempera, gold, and ink on parchment
c. 1370
Avignon - BM - ms. 0136, f. 245
This is the miniature in the initial "N" in the Introit for the Vigil for the Birth of St John the Baptist in a Missal for Pope Urban V and which then came into the possession of the antipope Clement VII
The Introit is an extract of Luke 1: 13
The work is that of the Italian miniaturist Niccolo di Giacomo (c. 1325 – c. 1403) (known also as Niccolò da Bologna)
The same subject is seen in the following works:
Gabriel announces to Zacharias from the initial "F" in the Gospel of Luke
From Walafrid Strabo Gloss on the Gospel of Luke
Ink on parchment
c. Middle 12th century
Cambrai - BM - ms. 0344, f. 003
Walafrid Strabo (or Strabus, i.e. "squint-eyed") (c. 808 – 18 August 849), was a Frankish monk poet and theological writer.
Of his prose-works the most famous is the "Glossa ordinaria," a commentary on the Scriptures, compiled from various sources. The work enjoyed the highest repute throughout the Middle Ages.
Andrea Pisano c 1290 - post 1348
Annuncio della nascita di San Giovanni Battista a Zaccaria
c. 1316
From The South Doors, Florence Baptistry
Gilded bronze panel,
60 x 54 cm
The Baptistry of the Duomo, Florence
Of the three world-famed bronze doors of the Baptistery in Florence, the earliest one that on the south side was Pisano's work; he started it in 1330, finishing in 1336.
In 1340 he succeeded Giotto as Master of the Works of Florence Cathedral
Hubert Cailleau (c. 1526–1590)
Gabriel announces to Zacharias from the initial "I" in the Nativity of St John the Baptist in the Gospel of Luke
From Antiphonaire à l'usage de l'abbaye Sainte-Rictrude de Marchiennes
Douai - BM - ms. 0121, f. 204
Hubert Cailleau (c. 1526–1590), was a French historical and miniature painter and stage designer, who flourished at Valenciennes.
Cailleau produced a number of rich works for the Abbey Saint-Rictrude
On one of the books he produced he wrote:
« Ce livre que fit faire don Jacques le Grandt, abbé de Mânes (Marchiennes), fut illuminé à Valenciennes par moi, Hubert Cailleau, au dernier an de mon adolescence»
Chapter 1 of Luke presents parallel scenes (diptychs) of angelic announcements of the birth of John the Baptist and of Jesus, and of the birth, circumcision, and presentation of John and Jesus.
In this parallelism, the ascendency of Jesus over John is stressed: John is prophet of the Most High (Lk 1:76); Jesus is Son of the Most High (Lk 1:32). John is great in the sight of the Lord (Lk 1:15); Jesus will be Great (an attribute, used absolutely, of God) (Lk 1:32). John will go before the Lord (Lk 1:16–17); Jesus will be Lord (Lk 1:43; 2:11).

Managing Advanced Link Building Campaigns
A link building campaign is the process of trying to increase the number of links to one's website accompanied usually with some objective. Assets belonging to the website are used to obtain links along with an asset such as product, service or content.
Various components are used in a link building campaign, which are both crucial and essential, thus, the combination of the available resources is integral.
Most of the links built are usually due to following up with people, usually with bloggers that symbolises genuineness. In order to do this properly, one needs to be organized and maintain a record of the replies they get. This helps in eliminating unwanted people. Thus, there are several means to manage the campaigns effectively and efficiently such as:
- Google Spreadsheets – Spreadsheets like Excel are invaluable to manage multiple teams or people working on the outreach. When one sends link opportunities to clients explaining as to why they need to obtain the link, the client is not aware of regularly happenings. Hence, to be in touch with this, one needs to be apprised of what's the team's process in order to handle the client's preparations. For this, the spreadsheet helps. Google docs allow one to list their link building activities, share and update them. Some of the items the link building spreadsheet include – URL, email and contact details, date identified, outreach date, response, next steps, etc.
- Raven Tools – These tools provide features such as CRM that adds contacts and tasks based on those contacts.
- BuzzStream – BuzzStream has many tools for finding contact information of the past along with organizing contacts and interactions. It also has a CMS feature that helps one add emails, actionables, social profiles, etc., to each contact. The tool also helps one to outreach directly from the platform keeping everyone involved informed of all the communications. BuzzStream also has an interesting feature called the Twitter conversation tracking with helps to track interactions with contacts.
- Gmail Responses – Gmail helps to keep ready templates of good outreach emails that require much less effort and time. This template is a good starting point that helps save one from having to rewrite a new email every single time while bringing about consistency. Gmail also has its canned response feature found in the Labs section, which helps in creating templates.
- YesWare –Outreach portions are the toughest parts about link building and YesWare, a Gmail add-on helps to track emails when they are opened. Tracking open mails and setting follow-up reminders can be done with this.
- Boomerang – Boomerang is a Gmail add-on that resends messages to the recipient if they do not respond, open the message or don't click the message.
- Twitter Lists – This helps one to add whomever they want, make it private, add descriptions, share them and make as many as one wants. This helps in organization, finding potential link opportunities and build relationships.
Running and managing link building campaigns are imperative to the current and future success, which can be properly organized with the above mentioned tools.

Embracing Parenthood With Hashtags
I know, I know. You're probably wondering what kind of life I live if hashtags are helping me embrace the little things. Well, I live a pretty hectic life as any new mom would. It's full of Oh-My-Gods and What-Did-You-Do moments that have me scratching my head more often than not. But when I started to catalog these tiny moments with different hashtags- it quickly become a fun way for me to embrace the crazy rather than get upset about it. And its not just me! A lot of new parents are hopping on board the hashtag train and adding a bit of humor to otherwise stressful situations. Here's a few of my favorite #hashtags from the land of parenthood.
- 1
It doesn't need a lot of explaining, does it? Its probably a picture of things going less-than-right with a dash of poor judgement. It also has you glad you probably weren't there to see it first hand because all hell surely would have broken loose.
- 2
A fun way to remember all those cute outfits that don't include holding onto them for the next 30 years like your mom did. Or you can use the traditional #OOTD to ensure your tots outfits live on forever
- 3
This one can be smug at times, but is way more fun when used in jest. Who wants to relate to someone who's getting it right all the time, anyway? In my personal life, this hashtag is most commonly accompanied by #whendadsincharge.
- 4
Most often associated with toddlers, these photos best capture the very sad moments when you don't allow your child to eat the cat's food or dad's deodorant or because he just didn't want to be Superman that Halloween. It happens.
- 5
Admittedly, its one of the sappier hashtags but it's got just enough sentiment to carry you through a bad day. ...or a bad teenager phase. Either or.

Commercial Loan 15 Year Term
A commercial 15 year loan term is the norm with most lenders who offer commercial loans and mortgages in Australia. You will find most Australian lenders structure commercial loan terms for up to 15 years. This differs considerably from a home loan term of 30 years as lenders take a more conservative approach to the security being offered and the possible fluctuation in price values for a commercial property as opposed to a residential property.

Export duty on iron ore up by 5 per cent
Worlds fastest train link gets going
Gold regains Rs 17k level

Investor Guidance
Export duty on iron ore up by 5 per cent
New Delhi, December 26
This decision has come at a wrong time when the exports were picking up and showing signs of recovery, Federation of Indian Minerals Industries secretary general RK Sharma said. This will have cascading effect on the steel industry. The Finance Ministry should have waited for some time before increasing the export duty and should have allowed the steel industry to recover from the global economic meltdown, he said.
Iron ore fines are not consumed by the domestic industry, he added. India is third largest exporter of iron ore in the world after Australia and Brazil.
Steel Minister Virbhadra Singh had earlier in a letter to Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee demanded 10 per cent export duty on all grades of iron ore in order to ensure availability of raw material for the domestic steel makers.
Virbhadra had said the steel industry, already facing acute shortage of coking coal and natural gas, was facing shortage of quality iron ore as the country exported almost 50 per cent of the total ore produced. The Steel Ministry had cautioned that if the present trend of iron ore exports continued, it may result in a steep increase in prices of ore for domestic industry, creating a pressure on steel prices in the market.

Worlds fastest train link gets going
Beijing, December 26
The super-high-speed train reduces the 1,069 KM journey linking Guangzhou, a business hub in southern China near Hong Kong, with the capital Beijing, to a three-hour ride and cuts the previous journey time by more than seven-and-a-half hours, Xinhua news agency said.
Test runs for the rail link began earlier in December during which it recorded a maximum speed of 394.2 km per hour and the operations officially began today, said Xu Fangliang, general engineer in charge of designing the link, according to Xinhua.
By comparison, the average for high-speed trains in Japan was 243 km per hour while in France it was 277 km per hour, he said.
The network uses technology developed in co-operation with foreign firms such as Siemens, Bombardier and Alstom.
The work on the project began in 2005 as part of plans to expand country's high-speed network, Xinhua added.China unveiled its first high-speed line at the time of the Beijing Olympics in 2008. Country's ambitious rail development programme aims at increasing the national network from the current 86,000 km to 1,20,000 km, making it the most extensive rail system outside the US. PTI
New Delhi, December 26
The precious metal, which dipped below Rs 17,000 level four days ago, today rose by Rs 80 to trade at Rs 17,040 per 10 gram on fresh buying for festivals like Christmas and New Year celebrations.
Marketmen said stockists and jewellery fabricators indulging in enlarging their positions on pick up in demand mainly pushed up both bullion prices.
Standard gold and ornaments rose by Rs 80 each to Rs 17,040 and Rs 16,890 per 10 gram, respectively, while sovereign held unchanged at Rs 14,000 per piece of eight gram.
Silver ready and weekly based delivery also gained Rs 100 each at Rs 27,900 and Rs 27,500 per kg.
However, silver coins continued to be traded around previous levels of Rs 33,400 for buying and Rs 33,500 for selling of 100 pieces. Domestic market witnessed subdued trading activity in the absence of any major cues from the global front as most of the markets were closed for Christmas break. PTI

The same set of realtors who were happy hiking the cost of both residential and commercial project t in the past years were forced to launch low-cost ventures and reduce prices. Even the big players like DLF and Unitech had to mop up funds through qualified institutional placements to feed their cash-starved enterprises.
City-based real estate developer BPTP even had to surrender the biggest ever land deal in India worth Rs 5,006 crore that was clinched in 2008 at Noida as it was unable to make the payment.
It was definitely a tough year for the realty sector, mainly because of the global crisis, said Pradeep Jain, chairman of Parsvnath Developers. But strong fundamentals helped us overcome it to some extent," Jain said.
According to data compiled by leading brokerage and research firm SMC Capital, about Rs 10,300 crore was mobilised by realty firms such as DLF, Unitech and Indiabulls in the first half of 2009 through private placements.
This apart, over 15 players such as Emaar MGF, Lodha Developers and Sahara Prime City are set to come up with initial public offerings to raise about Rs 15,000 crore to tide over their funds crisis.
Among them, Delhi-based Emaar MGF Land alone proposes to raise Rs.3,850 crore, while Sahara is targeting Rs 3,450 crore. Lodha Developers have targeted Rs 3,000 crore and Godrej Properties want to raise Rs 600 crore.
As the year draws to a close, it has regained momentum in sync with the broader market and the realty index is now quoting 75.11 per cent above the levels seen on December 26 last year.
Yet, as the year draws to a close, realty industry is optimistic over the prospects in the New Year and believes it would pay to remain focused on low-cost housing projects.
But analysts fear that the rising inflation may trigger a rise in interest rate. As a result, real estate players could once again be seen grasping for breath in 2010 as well. IANS

Air India has descended abysmal low. In a recent survey, it has been ranked last among Indian carriers. There was a time when AI was one of the best in international skies and Indian Airlines (IA) had complete monopoly in Indian skies.
Kingfisher has been adjudged on top with 794 points (56 points ahead of AI that is at 736), while Jet Airways is 50 ahead of the national airline.
Reacting to the survey, AI chief Arvind Jadhav has gone on record saying: The national carrier has made improvements and we will use these key parameters for bringing about further improvements in our services. Whatever the utterances of the AI chief, the truth is that the merger has turned a huge liability. Indian Airlines has lost its identity altogether. It is no longer on the radar. Thousands of employees have been rendered unsettled while hundreds are shuttling between Mumbai and Delhi.
In-depth study classifies 15 major causes of failures: (1) Political stranglehold, (2) bureaucracy interference, (3) top heavy, (4) faulty route-structure, (5) discontinuation of flights on profitable routes, (6) part of the fleet lying on ground knowing fully that stay of aircraft on ground is costlier than flying, (7) meaningless acquisition of aircraft without adequate flying programme, (8) paying a huge rental for the leased aircraft, (9) unwieldy staff, (10) mammoth expenditure on overheads, (11) lack of rapport between cockpit crew and cabin crew, (12) unrealistic adherence to flight and time regulation for flying crews, (13) gross misuse of upgradation of staff and favourites on flights, (14) injudicious utilisation of spare parts and (15) unprofessional and non-commercial functions.
The future of AI is bleak as long as politicians and bureaucrats continue to be at the helm. If the government sincerely wishes to bail out the national carrier, it should draw a leaf out of the book of several other governments like Britain, France, Germany, Singapore and Sri Lanka, which accord complete autonomy to their nationalised airlines to operate professionally.
In sharp contrast to the national carrier, the private operators are functioning nicely despite rise in fuel prices. If Kingfisher is controlled by flamboyant and aggressive businessman Vijay Mallya, Jet Airways is fully in the grasp of subtle operator Naresh Goyal. Dissimilar in many aspect, both possess sharp minds and are master manipulators in figures. They are running their outfits as commercial units.
Judging from the existing complex scenario, survival of the national carrier is possible if the government grants its staff the freedom of actions and functions. If this is done, the maharaja will be able to walk upright once again.

Q I am an NRI settled in Kuwait. I have both NRE and NRO accounts in India. I know that interest from NRE account is tax-free. Interest from NRO account is taxed through TDS at the rate of 12.5% (not 33% due to DTAA with Kuwait) by the bank. The interest earned from NRO account is more than 1.5 lakh per year. My only income in India is from interest these accounts. I do not wish to claim any refunds from as banks are already cutting TDS. Am I correct in not filing returns as per the IT Act/rule 115G (return of income not to be filed in certain cases).
Kumar Viswanathan
A Under Section 115G, a return need not be filed if the taxpayers total income consists only of investment or long-term capital gains (LTCG). Now, investment income means any income derived from a foreign exchange asset and in turn a foreign exchange asset means any specified asset that the taxpayer has acquired or subscribed to in convertible foreign exchange. Therefore, if your have made NRO fixed deposits through foreign exchange only and there is no Indian income that has been used to purchase the deposits, Section 115G will be applicable and a return need not be filed.
Exchange traded fund
Q I have read that the best way to invest in gold is through Exchange Traded Fund (ETF). But the ETFs attract brokerage and STT for both buy and sell transactions, leading to an additional expense. In contrast, since there is no entry load on MFs and one can also do away with the exit load if we hold the units for a longer period. Hence, if one purchases corresponding MF units directly, extra cost can be saved. In addition, in both the transaction types , I think the tax treatment on capital gains should be the same.
Dharmesh Gangani
A The main idea is to invest in gold and not in any other asset class. There are no gold-based MFs that are not ETFs. In other words, all MFs that are available in the traditional sense are either equity or debt based. There are a couple of MFs that invest in gold mining companies, but at the end of the day once again these are MFs that invest in equity shares of such gold mining companies. So you are in effect buying equity and not gold. Regarding the STT issue, please note that there is no STT applicable on gold ETFs since they are not equity-based MFs. All in all, the only way one can invest (through the MF route) in gold is through ETFs.
Transfer of proceeds
Q I have been a German citizen for many years and now also am registered as an OCI. When leaving for Germany on July 3, 2010, I shall have spent one year in India. I have inherited some apartments that I have given on rent. Can I transfer the proceeds to Germany on a monthly basis? Must the account into which the rents are paid be of a specific category?
A If you spend more than 182 days in India in any financial year, you will be a Resident in that year. Since you are leaving for Germany on July 3, in FY 09-10 you would not be spending 182 days in India and hence you will be an NRI. An NRI cannot have regular Resident savings bank accounts. Instead they are supposed to open NRO accounts. You may transfer the proceeds of the rental income to Germany on a monthly basis though doing so at a lesser frequency may prove to be more convenient. The reason for this is that every time you intent to remit the proceeds abroad, your application for the same has to be accompanied by a certificate from an Indian chartered accountant certifying that taxes due, if any, on the amount intended to be remitted have been paid.
Short-term capital gains
Q If I have no other income except for short-term capital gains (say Rs 4 lakh) and I have saved Rs 1 lakh in instruments that are eligible for tax exemption under Section 80C, what will be my total taxable income?
A The answer to your query would depend upon the type of asset from which the capital gains flow.
1. In case of capital gains arising out of securities (including shares) and equity-based units of MFs sold on a recognised stock exchange or equity-based units repurchased from MFs STCG is taxed at the rate of 15% flat.
2. In case of (i) listed securities, or units or zero coupon bonds not sold on a recognised stock exchange in India or repurchased from MF and consequently have not suffered STT, and (ii) units of debt-based MFs STCG is treated as normal income of the assessee and charged to tax at the rate applicable to his slab of income. Where STCG is taxed at concessional rates, the assessee will not get any deduction under Section 80C, 80D etc, against these gains.
3. For all other assets like real estate, jewellery etc, STCG is treated as normal income of the assessee and charged to tax at the rate applicable to his slab of income.For a resident individual or an HUF, where the income that is charged to tax, falls below the tax threshold applicable to the assessee, the gains can be reduced by this gap between the total income and the threshold. The balance of the gains would be taxed at the rates applicable.The current tax threshold is Rs. 1.60 lakh for non-senior males, 1.90 for non-senior females and Rs 2.40 lakh for senior citizens, males or females.

Before Gemini, installing secondary systems was complicated. It required many different types of fittings to be welded together in a particular sequence, piece-by-piece, over primary fittings at each bend.
Gemini's three secondary fittings, which are specifically designed to enclose standard one-piece primary fittings and then reduce down over the primary pipe, will drastically decrease the number of necessary parts, welds, time and overall cost when installing fuel piping systems at your petrol station.
"From the installation standpoint, the failure of your primary once your secondary has been completed is catastrophic. Basically, you have to take the system apart and look for where your failure in the primary is." Gary Saltz, Product Manager – North America Piping & Containment
With Gemini, you finally have a secondary fitting specifically designed for the most efficient usage of pipe. No longer is the secondary pipe diameter determined by the size of the primary fittings. In a typical remote fill application, when using Gemini, you can expect to reduce the installation time by about a half. View our Gemini video comparing both installations at FranklinFueling YouTube channel

A weekend that was supposed to crown state champions in cheering and wrestling, conference champions in Nordic and Alpine skiing, another round of Southwesterns winners in swimming and produce a round of girls' hockey playoffs instead turned into a washout.
Or more aptly put, a whiteout.
The record-setting snow that swept the region Friday and Saturday erased the high school sports slate in the process, frustrating schedule-makers and lengthening the season.
Wrestling's state meet was supposed to be Saturday at the Augusta Civic Center. It will now be contested this coming Saturday, but instead of under one big top, it will be in three locations: Class A in Sanford, Class B in Fryeburg and Class C in Dover-Foxcroft.
Cheering's state meet was moved to Monday in Bangor.
The Southwestern swim meet, which included Cheverus, Deering and McAuley, which was scheduled for Friday (boys) and Saturday (girls) in Westbrook, was postponed to Monday (boys) and Tuesday (girls).
The state meets will be held Monday (Class A boys at Bowdoin College in Brunswick and Class B boys at the University of Maine in Orono) and Tuesday (Class A girls at Bowdoin and Class B girls in Orono).
Indoor track teams took the weekend off after competing in the SMAA Championships the week before.
The Class A state meet is Monday at USM. The Class B meet is at Bates College in Lewiston.
The Western Maine Conference Nordic championships began last Wednesday with the skate race. Waynflete took part, but didn't score as a team. Aiden Olney had the 29th-best time in the boys' race (18 minutes, 2 seconds). Gail Johnson had the 44th-best time in the girls' competition (23:24). Jo Moore was 47th (23:53). Yarmouth was the boys' winner, Merriconeag was tops on the girls' side.
The Classic race was scheduled for Saturday, but was moved to Monday at Stark's Hill in Fryeburg.
The SMAA Alpine championships were also affected by weather, being postponed from Friday to Monday at Shawnee Peak.
The ski state meets are the week of Feb. 18.
In girls' hockey, Cheverus, the last team to make the West Region field as the No. 5 seed after a 5-12-1 regular season, sprung a 7-4 upset at No. 4 Biddeford last Wednesday, thanks to four goals from standout Katie Roy. The Stags were supposed to go to top-ranked Scarborough Friday night and again Saturday, but Mother Nature prevented both games and pushed the contest to Monday afternoon.
If Cheverus was able to spring another upset, it would meet either Falmouth or York in the West Region Final Wednesday at the Portland Ice Arena. The state championship game is Saturday at the Colisee in Lewiston.
Boys' hockey is the lone sport still playing its regular season. Cheverus improved to 10-4 with home wins last week over Kennebunk (7-3) and two-time defending Class A state champion Thornton Academy (3-2). Cam McLain had a hat trick and Liam Fitzpatrick added two goals against the Rams. Jimmy Hannigan had two goals and Keegan Thomas delivered the winner versus the Golden Trojans. The Stags (third in the Western Class A Heal Points standings) were postponed against Windham Saturday and play host to Falmouth Thursday, Marshwood Saturday, Windham Monday and Scarborough in the regular season finale Feb. 21.
Portland/Deering (8-4 and holding on to the ninth and final playoff spot in Western A) was supposed to play at Lake Region Saturday, but was postponed. The Bulldogs were at Yarmouth Tuesday, host Windham Thursday and Lake Region Saturday, visit South Portland Monday and close at home versus Bonny Eagle Jan. 21.
The boys' hockey playoffs begin Feb. 23.
We'll recap all the postponed action in future editions and at theforecaster.net.

I just wrote out my process to explain to a friend how I do what I do. It was a great chance for me to think objectively about how I do what I do, and I thought you guys on the blog might like it too. So here's the post, with some additional formatting.
OTE: Assume everything starts at about 9am EST or as close to it as possible.
NOTE: I work faster than most people. I know this. This isn't me bragging or inspiring competition, it's just sort of a given as to how I work. Accepting that was a huge step forward in going even faster and thinking even more creatively when facing problems.
Step 1. Look over the notes I've left for myself from the night before. They are handwritten, usually on a notecard or pad to the left of the keyboard. I try to leave them in the same spot every night.
Step 2. If I haven't left the PC running a diagnostic or something overnight, I boot it up. In that minute, I go fill up a pint glass of water.
Step 3. While I'm filling the glass and while I get back to the desk, I'm prioritizing the notes (sometimes it's a to-do list, sometimes it's a reminder about a meeting or an appointment)
Step 4. In order, I turn on Spotify, Janetter (Twitter), and Chrome. I look for any emails or notes on Facebook/Twitter that would derail anything from last night's notes. Usually, it doesn't, but sometimes when new things come up I insert them into the priority list for the morning.
Step 5. I find a good playlist on Spotify. This is NOT code for "I troll Spotify to find the "perfect" list", this is more like I take a mental snapshot of my mood and know which music I want to hear. NOTE - if I need to build a new playlist, I make a note to do it after work.
Step 6. I check in on all the critical social media - Google+ groups, Twitter, etc. This can take anywhere from ten to twenty minutes, and if I feel this is taking "too long" (like if I'm antsy because I know there's a ton of work ahead), I'll break this into chunks and skip what I don't need and do other parts later.
Step 7. I minimize Chrome and pull open the first item of work. I get out of the chair one more time to make sure the dog has food and water and a toy. Unless she's asleep next to me already, at which point I just get to work.
Step 8. I work. In twenty to thirty minute chunks. My phone and tablet are on the desk, but both are face down, covered and on silent. I won't check either of them until lunch.
Step 9. I work in bursts (I can't easily describe HOW I work - imagine a tagcloud of constantly swirling concepts and ideas that rotates and flashes while I build a document in my head and then copy it onto the screen).
Step 10. When I need to refill the pint glass, I check the phone. If there's no missed calls, it goes back down. If there are any, I make a note (mentally) to call them back either at lunch or later in the day.
Step 11. I'm pretty good at mentally tracking time, so either 1 project for the day gets done or it's been about an hour or so. I take the dog for a walk and lay out in my head the next two or three things I have to do when i get back to the desk. This is also my first chance to eat something since breakfast. I pick small things that won't leave my fingers sticky and that I can eat from a plate or dish to the left of the monitor, that I don't have to really look at to chew. Usually that's carrots, cherry tomatoes, celery with peanut butter. Yesterday it was cold roast beef with horseradish on toast bits. (I had it in the fridge). I practice mindful eating while I sit at the desk. Or as mindful as you can be while thinking about the next two or three things to do.
Step 12. I repeat the bursts until lunch time. I check the phone again, cross items off my notes and make sure I'm fully away from the desk while I have lunch. If I go out (like I will today, to pick up a salad), I make sure that when I get home, I DO NOT EAT in front of the PC. I realized that when I do that, I tend to overeat and get anxious. What I've been doing lately is reading a book while eating. I spend about 45 minutes eating and reading. This is also when I figure out what video I want to record next, and if possible, talk my way through it a time or two to see if it doesn't suck.
Step 13. I return to the desk and note the time. I don't work past 3pm unless we're near a convention or if I'm doing a workshop that night. I work until 3, then wrap things up.
Step 14. My wrap up process involves starting notes for the next day, invoicing what I need to and making whatever phone calls I need to. Once all that is done (I'll finish the notes for tomorrow before I go to bed, so the list isn't set in stone), I walk the dog again, usually longer, then come home and either do some housework or something creative to stretch my brain but that I'm not getting paid for -- I think of new games, I explore an idea in my Idea Folder in Dropbox, I watch something stimulating or play a video game (lately this has been Tiger Woods golf).
Step 15. Before I go to bed (about an hour before), I sit back down and go over the day. I weigh my successes out, celebrate them, and note the negatives, but don't kick my own ass about them. They're awesome things I just haven't gotten to yet, but I will. I finish the notes for the next morning, then go read a book for an hour.
By this point I've lined up the next day's work pretty clearly and balanced all the other demands on my time. I sleep well because of it.
The new camera equipment arrives at some point today, so I think the video I record either later tonight or tomorrow will explore these ideas more completely.
Rock on.

A few videos from Edwin's 10th birthday (read more and see pictures here)
In March we were blessed once again medically, this time by a local rehabilitation hospital that graciously donated a pair of form fitted braces for Carlos. The process of turning pieces of plastic into useful tools to help Carlos walk was so fascinating that we created a short video of the making of his orthotics.
Monday, February the 21st was Lidia's 7th birthday! It's amazing to see how she has grown up so fast. When we first came down, she was only 4 years old! Like we do with all the children, we celebrated her birthday, and we wanted to share some of the pictures and video from the day. Enjoy!

And a video:
This year we put together another video of our children that I think turned out pretty well. This year's video gives a little more insight into some of the stories of the children that live at Hope For Tomorrow Children's Home and then talk a bit more of how we make sure each child reaches his or her God given potential. Check it out!
You may also be interested in watching last year's video. It talks a bit more about the beauty and poverty of Guatemala. It's also incredible to see how much our children have grown over a year. In this video Moses is just an infant, being rocked to sleep by Diana, but in the new video, he's a grown boy, walking on his own! God is good!
On June 11th, the youngest member of our family turned 1! It's seem like just yesterday that we picked up baby Moses from the courthouse, but here we are celebrating his first birthday! What an incredible treasure and a testimony of God's faithfulness. It is amazing to me to see how much this precious boy has grown and developed in just 12 short months. Even though he was abandoned on the streets, most likely to die, the Lord had a different plan for this young boy, and it's such a joy for us to witness and be part of it. I'm reminded of Jeremiah 29:11:
For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."
While this verse pertains to all of us, it has special meaning for Moses, and we all look forward to the future that lays before our little Moses.
Below is a short video of us singing Happy Birthday to Moses. If you want to read about Moses' arrival a year ago, follow this link: http://www.hope4tomorrow.net/updates/2009/07/our-new-baby-moses/
Last week the children had their mid year break from school, so we all jumped in the van and headed to the local pools. Despite the ice cold water, we all had a great time. We spent the morning swimming, then enjoyed a traditional steak lunch, and ended the day playing around and visiting the zoo. I've included a few pictures and some videos of our trip below.

And here are some short videos for your enjoyment:
The second consecutive team we had this summer was led by co-founder Jennifer and she brought a group of her students down to do assessments on all of our children. The entire trip was incredible but probably the highlight was when we took the three oldest children, Miguel, Edwin, and Amelia, with us to Lake Atitlan. This beautiful lake is roughly 3 hours west of the city and is one of my favorite places to go. It's got incredible views of a blue lake surrounded by 3 volcanos. It's all so picturesque. But another big attraction there is a set of ziplines that zig zag down the mountain side and, throwing out parental reasoning, we took the three children! Needless to say, the they had a blast, as did we! Since they were children they had to go down with an adult. Edwin was strapped to me, Miguel went with one of our guides, and Amelia was with Kehla. I put together a quick video of the experience below. Enjoy!

Brief Synopsis
A fiery immigrant falls in love with her aging husband''''s brooding young son.
In 1840, New England farmer Ephraim Cabot constantly harangues his three sons, Peter, Simeon and their younger half-brother Eben, to work harder and be more religious. The three sons all despise their father, who worked their mothers to death, especially Eben, whose mother once showed him where Ephraim hides his gold and made him promise to claim the farm one day, as most of it had been hers when she married Ephraim. One day, Ephraim declares that he needs to ride out to learn God's message for him and urges the younger men to keep working while he is gone. As six weeks pass, the brothers hope that Ephraim, who is seventy-six years old, has died, and Peter and Simeon contemplate their plan to search for gold in California. One night, Eben gets drunk in town and then visits Min, an older widow who often entertains young male visitors. Min welcomes Eben, but he tells her that he is through with "leftovers" and rushes home, where he digs up $600 of Ephraim's buried money. Eben then wakes up Peter and Simeon to tell them the latest gossip, that Ephraim has married a twenty-five-year-old Italian immigrant. The men are infuriated, as they believe that she will now inherit the farm instead of them. Eben offers his brothers the money if they sign over their shares in the farm to him and, believing that he will never inherit it anyway, Simeon and Peter do so. The next day, Ephraim brings Anna, his new wife, to the farm, and she is thrilled to have a home and land of her own. Peter and Simeon rudely laugh at their father and his new bride before leaving, while Eben reacts hostilely to Anna's offer of friendship. Anna responds that she has worked hard all her life for a place to call her own, and that she will do anything to hang onto it now that she has found it. Later, as Anna cleans the filthy house, Ephraim yells at her for airing out the parlor in which Eben's mother used to sit and orders her never to go there, for it was where Eben and his mother used to hide from him. As time passes, Anna flaunts her earthy sensuality at Eben, who responds by avoiding her. One Sunday, Eben is preparing to visit Min, and Anna laughs at him. They become involved in a violent quarrel, declaring that they hate each other, and Eben insinuates that Anna is a whore for marrying Ephraim in order to get the farm. After Eben storms off, Ephraim questions Anna about the argument, and she states that Eben was propositioning her. Ephraim immediately wants to kill Eben, but Anna, who is attracted to Eben, as he is to her, stops him, telling him that they need Eben to work the farm. Quieting down, Ephraim admits that Eben is the only one remaining to whom he can leave the farm, and Anna demands that he leave it to her instead. Ephraim cruelly dismisses her, stating that she is a woman, and that only blood counts. When Anna states that the two of them could have a son of their own, Ephraim, who is besotted with her, promises to give her anything she wants if she will bear him another heir. Soon after, Eben lies awake in his attic room, tortured by the sound of Ephraim and Anna talking. When Ephraim leaves to tend the livestock, Anna goes to Eben's room, and the couple cannot help engaging in a passionate kiss. Eben pushes her away, again proclaiming that he hates her, but Anna taunts him with the knowledge that he desires her. Having entranced him, Anna easily seduces Eben, although as they spend time together, she discovers that she genuinely loves him. One morning, as they relax in the hayloft, Anna tells Eben about her difficult life, and how she has always had to work in the homes of others. Eben's happiness grows when Anna becomes pregnant, but when the baby, a boy, is born, he is heartbroken upon realizing that they must pretend that Ephraim is the infant's father. On the day of the baby's christening, Simeon and Peter, now rich from their gold prospecting, return to the farm to introduce Ephraim to their wives, Florence and Lucinda. Ephraim, overjoyed by his new son, dismisses his daughters-in-law as "flashy," but invites them to join the party anyway. The neighbors and villagers enjoy Ephraim's food and drink but gossip behind his back about Eben being the baby's father. Angry and confused, Ephraim demonstrates his virility by engaging in a wild dance, then orders Simeon and Peter to leave when they also laugh at him. Eben is in the barn avoiding the party when Ephraim finds him and taunts him that he is going to leave the farm to his new son. Ephraim also tells him that Anna had urged him to keep Eben on as a laborer and had promised him a child. Believing that Anna merely used him to father her son, thereby gaining the farm, Eben is enraged. When Anna finds him soon after, Eben lashes out at her, but she swears that she has fallen in love with him and would do anything for him. Eben declares that everything between them was ruined by the baby's arrival, and that he is going to leave for California in the morning. Torn between her love for Eben and her son, Anna extracts a promise from Eben that he will love her again if she can make their life as it once was. Early the next morning, Eben is leaving when Anna tearfully informs him that she has proven her love for him by smothering their son. Horrified, Eben denounces her and runs off to get the sheriff. Anna then returns to the house, where she is sitting forlornly when Ephraim awakens. Anna tells him that she has killed the baby, and also the truth about his parentage. Although he bitterly declares that he is glad the infant is dead, Ephraim is saddened that Anna never loved him. After Ephraim wanders from the house, Eben rushes in and finds Anna in the parlor. There, he tells her that he realizes that he still loves her, and that he is just as responsible for their child's death as she is. Assuring her that there is still time, Eben urges her to run away with him, but Anna insists that she must pay for her crime. Buoyed by Eben's love, Anna faces the sheriff with grace, and Eben declares that he must be arrested also. As Anna and Eben slowly ride off with the sheriff, Ephraim watches from the hilltop of his farm, which is his alone at last.

Did you know that every dog over 4 months old in Seward city limits needs an annual dog license?
In addition to complying with Seward code, a license will help the animal shelter quickly identify your lost dog and get him or her back to you quicker. If you think your dog would NEVER wander off, consider unusual circumstances like fireworks that might make a homebody bolt.
Licensing lets others know that our dog is current with its rabies vaccinations, a requirement for licensing. Anyone who finds your missing dog will be more likely to want to handle and care for your pet until you are found if they know it is healthy and rabies-free.
License fees help support the animal shelter and the wonderful and essential services it provides.
The dog license is an inexpensive and useful Seward, Alaska souvenir for visiting pets too! The cost is only $5 for neutered or spayed dogs, and only $10 for dogs that are not.
The license fee is due and payable on January 2nd annually or ASAP.
To license your dog, bring proof of current rabies vaccination and payment to the Seward Animal Shelter at 420 Sixth Avenue. The Shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm, closed Sunday, Monday and holidays.
Get your pal a little bling and show that you love them!

Greetings All!
I love it when I get inspiration for nail art from the polish I'm wearing. It's like we're both working together! I was picking over my (vast) collection of untrieds when I spotted Revlon Ignite, and I immediately thought flames (I know, I have such an imagination!).
Ignite is quite lovely on it's own - a bright metallic cherry red. I've used 2 coats here.
I stamped with the ever-present Barry M Gold Foil, and plate DRK-B, which I just don't use enough any more! The designs are so huge and lovely - I never struggle with covering my nails. I might have to invest in more from DRK!

What's for Dinner? – May 18, 2013
Wow! What a great time last night celebrating Mary's accomplishment of receiving her Master's degree and also celebrating Obis One black garlic! A great group of friends and relatives sitting around a table enjoying food, wine and each other! We started with a couple of spreads to put on crackers, baguettes and bread sticks – Black Garlic Hummus and White Bean, Olive and Black Garlic Tapenade – along with nuts, pickles, olves and Deviled Eggs – topped with a little black garlic … Then on to Black Garlic Beef Burgundy with lots of crusty bread to sop up the gravy. Followed that with a big salad with Black Garlic Vinaigrette and some lovely cheese brought over by Gregg Tate. All of the guests sampled cloves of black garlic and loved … Read entire article »

What's for dinner? – August 2, 2011
Getting ready to go to the beach on Saturday for the week, so to get in the spirit, I'll make something from the sea! How about crabcakes? Always a hit and easy to make. Crab meat is on sale at the Harris Teeter, so I'll grab a pound or so and make crab cakes. I found a recipe that uses Panko bread crumbs – I love their extra crunch when frying, and I think they'll work well with crab to give it some body, but without too much bread in the actual cake. Panko Crab Cakes and Tartar Sauce also includes a recipe for homemade tartar sauce – though I always thought that was just mayonnaise and sweet pickle relish! This recipe looks like it has a little more depth … Read entire article »

What's for dinner? – July 29, 2011
The question right now (at 8:45p.m.) is not "What's for dinner", but "How was dinner tonight?" Simple answer – delicious! Friday and Beautiful Wife not working today – also had Big Girl + BF, Little Miss and Only Son. I decided to go healthy (sort of) and make a Creamy Pasta Primavera with lots of good veggies and a creamy sauce (with heavy cream – that's the "sort of" qualifier). I love long pasta and especially like linguine, so I made the primavera sauce and finished in my giant pan with cooked linguine and lots of fresh parm cheese. It was a successful meal, that's for sure. And not only did I make the main course, but made dessert as well. Ice cream! We all scream for it! Little Miss … Read entire article »

There is still a bounty of beautiful, ripe tomatoes at our house. Large, small, roma, etc., they keep coming! And nobody is complaining! This past week, I made Tomato and Cheddar Pie for dinner one night. It was rich, with layers of sharp cheddar cheese, tomatoes and a mayonnaise/dill filling. However, I did not make my pie crust from scratch. I bought the rolled-up pie dough things from where the canned biscuits are at the grocery store – they worked out fine. It was delicious – hot and bubbly from the oven, a real hit. We had some leftovers and like many casserole-y type dishes, it was almost better heated up the next day. Yesterday, I ventured into new territory and made Tomato Ice Cream. I think the end result is … Read entire article »

The harvest continues unabated! We have now gotten out the big, beautiful bowl we use for large quantities of pasta or salad and filled it with fresh tomatoes and using it as a centerpiece for the dining room table! Lots of 'maters! So the other day I made a Simple Cooked Tomato Salsa – though I only used four tomatoes. Still with eating a tomato sandwich for lunch every day and finding new recipes for tomatoes, we'll enjoy every fat, delicious one of them. Heck, we might even have a half-bushel to bring to the beach in a few weeks to share with our 30-some relatives we'll visit with then. But tonight, I think I'll use the Simple Cooked Tomato Salsa as an ingredient in a nice, big pot of black … Read entire article »

Homemade Spaghetti Sauce Our backyard is becoming a bounty of wonderful summer vegetables – cucumbers, zucchini, squash and lots of tomatoes! Beautiful Wife has been working "the back 40" and we are reaping the benefits. There are already 20-30 plum (roma) tomatoes sitting on the counter, so today I will make homemade pasta sauce. I'll stick with an all-veggie recipe so everyone can enjoy! I found a recipe that sounds delicious and not too awful time-consuming. It'll be a couple of hours of slow simmering, so it will have that "all day" taste (I hope!), but don't want the stove on all day in the house. Even with air conditioning, it is a hot day, so a couple of hours slaving over a hot stove will be enough for me … … Read entire article »

Kind of an overcast afternoon here and I've got a bunch of leftovers in the fridge. Tonight will be what we call "pick up sticks" – AKA leftover night. I'll make a big salad with greens, spinach and maybe some protein (chicken, ham, cheese?), but we have mac and cheese, a zucchini and squash pasta sauce with linguine, and a pasta dish I made last night. Big Girl sent me some recipes she had collected over time and one of them was Mom's Baked Chicken & Spinach Pasta. The picture looks delicious, so I decided to give it a try. I followed the recipe very diligently, but I just wasn't crazy about the result. To my taste, it needed a bit more moisture of some sort – something to sauce … Read entire article »

Last night, I whipped up a pasta dish – basically a vegetable-filled, red sauce. Sauteed onions, zucchini, yellow squash and garlic, let that cook down a bit, then added a couple of jars of sauce (semi-homemade!). Added a bit of extra seasoning and let if simmer for a while to marry the flavors and soften the veggies. I then added cooked linguini to the sauce, finished the dish in the pan and served it up with finely shredded parmesan and garlic bread. It was really good. Tonight gonna' be making fish tacos. I'm going to experiment a little with the fish – in the freezer I have some tilapia, salmon and scallops. Some fish taco recipes call for broiling/grilling the fish and others for battering and frying – the deep-frying I … Read entire article »

What's for dinner? – June 10, 2011
Yay, it's Friday! A hot Friday here in the National Capital Area, so I'm thinking of cooking something for dinner that I can largely prepare a bit earlier in the day and then serve at dinner, after the house (and me) cool off after slaving over the hot stove. My favorite grocery store had a special on (frozen) shrimp last week – buy two 2-pound bags of shrimp and get three free (what?)! Each bag was $27.98, so it was a total of about 56 dollars, but ended up with 10 pounds of 21-30 shrimp – so even a decent size shrimp. So what to make? Hmmm … Maybe something that everyone (Beautiful Wife, Big Girl + BF, LIttle Miss, Only Son and usually a straggler or two, especially on Friday) … Read entire article »

What's for dinner? – June 8, 2011
Okay, Wednesday morning and thinking about dinner tonight. Made (or tried to make) felafel last night. Mixed up the dough and started to fry, but the little rounds kind of came apart in the oil. Maybe oil wasn't hot enough, so I let it heat a little more and then rolled the chickpea dough rounds in flour before dropping in hot fat. It worked! I think I wasted some of the dough, so didn't end up with as much felafel I had hoped for, so I went and got a cheese pizza at Two Chefs! I was feeding six adults (Beautiful Wife, Big Girl + boyfriend, Little Miss + friend of hers, me), so I needed additional foodstuffs. I had earlier made the tahini sauce, which on the fried felafel … Read entire article »

Husky Energy has commenced production at the Rush Lake heavy oil thermal project in Saskatchewan. First oil at the 10,000 barrels per day (bbls/day) development was achieved eight weeks following the startup of steaming operations and just two years after project sanction.
'Rush Lake joins an expanding lineup of thermal projects that are providing solid returns even in a low oil price environment,' said CEO Asim Ghosh. 'Our proven thermal formula can deliver these projects with greater cost and execution certainty, rapid ramp ups and low sustaining costs.'
The project is expected to reach its nameplate production capacity around the end of 2015.
Current production from thermal projects is approximately 44,000 bbls/day. Including Rush Lake, the Company expects to add another 34,500 bbls/day over the next 18 months as it further advances its low-risk, modular construction templates and thermal technologies.
