The end of the Antarctic summerPosted: 2015-08-03 00:41:00, Categories: Travel, Argentina, Antarctica, Sailing, 673 words (permalink)
We would have loved to stay longer, but the sunny landing at Brown Bluff was a wonderful goodbye to Antarctica. After lunch we raised the anchor and started first motoring and then sailing north-east towards South Georgia, a subantarctic island about 800 nautical miles away.

Bark Europa, a hundred year old tall ship which sails to interesting destinations around the world.
On the fourth day of crossing the Drake passage the wind first turned to come from the south and later calmed down. The crew took down the sails with the help of us, the voyage crew (that's how the paying guests are called on Bark Europa) and the captain started the engine first time since Beagle Canal, if not counting the man overboard drill on the previous day. Not long afterwards we saw the first iceberg, a huge block of ice rising to a height of about 100 meters above the surface, and nobody knows how deep below it. Only a few miles further south were the first rocks belonging to the South Shetland islands, our first destination.
Good bye bicycles, we'll go sailing!Posted: 2015-02-27 19:31:00, Categories: Travel, Hospitality exchange, Hitchhiking, Chile, Argentina, 715 words (permalink)
In El Chalten, Argentina we stayed at a kind of cyclists' camp. It was a small house at the edge of the town belonging to Florencia, a local woman who welcomed all touring cyclists to camp in her garden against a voluntary donation to cover electricity, gas and water costs. As it was high season, the place was packed with guests. Sharing one bathroom with more than twenty others required some patience, but it was a great place to meet other cyclists on shorter and longer tours, most travelling south but some north as well.
Our time was slowly running out so we asked Florencia if she'd know someone who would be interested in buying our bicycles. It didn't take long before a friend of her appeared and was interested in mine. We said that we'd like to sell both at the same time, the word passed around and soon came another man who was looking for a bike for his girlfriend. We asked for a reasonable price and both bikes were sold. Next day, before the new owners came to pay and collect the bikes, we would have even had a second buyer for both. We learned that it is difficult in Argentina to get quality bikes and the prices are higher than in Europe. There was more interest than we had expected and we ended up even selling two of our panniers and one of the front bags. A big change in our trip and faster than we had thought! However, we had known that we would have to get rid of the bikes sooner or later and had bought them second hand specially for this tour. After selling them, we felt slighly sad but relieved that there was one thing less to think about.
Our next goal was to arrive in Ushuaia, the southernmost city in Argentina about 1000 kilometers further south mostly through the treeless pampa. In between we had to still pick up a package containing some winter clothes from Puerto Natales in Chile. It would have been possible to travel by bus, but we had still over a week of time and decided to try hitchhiking. When travelling on the Carretera Austral, we had often seen hitchhikers by the roadside and without bicycles it was now easier for us too.
The way of the thumb worked well. Every time nice people picked us up, we got to practise our Spanish and enjoyed a lot of mate tea as almost in every car the traditional cup of mate was passing around between the passengers. We made our way to Puerto Natales in one day, probably faster than it would have been by bus. There we stayed a couple of days with a CouchSurfing family before continuing forwards. To get out of Puerto Natales was a bit more difficult, but after a couple of hours waiting and walking we got a ride near Punta Arenas, where we camped by the seaside. Next day, the first car picked us up and we only had to change once for a ride directly to Ushuaia. Not only did we get there in time but had also local contacts in the city to spend some time with, perfect. Through a recommendation of another traveller we met in Puerto Natales, we also found a very friendly family from which we rented a room for our last few days in Argentina.
Soon after posting this, our next big adventure will begin. Tonight we will board the sailing ship Bark Europa for a 52 day sailing journey to Antarctica, South Georgia, Tristan da Cunha and South Africa. During that time we won't be able to post anything in the blog nor read our emails, and naturally our mobile phones won't work either on the seas. For me, it'll be the longest time without Internet since I started using it 20 years ago. Probably hard, but I'm sure I will survive. :-) It is however possible to follow the progress of the journey via Internet on the Bark Europa homepage. The position of the ship will be regularly updated on the world map and occasionally also logbook entries will be transmitted on the site via a satellite connection. We will write next time in about two months after we've arrived in South Africa.
Road through the wildernessPosted: 2015-02-27 19:15:00, Categories: Travel, Cycling, Chile, Argentina, 1258 words (permalink)
After our hiking trip in National Reserve Cerro Castillo we continued cycling south on the Carretera Austral. There were no cities or major towns any more and even villages were further and further apart from each other. Especially the last 200 km stretch from Cochrane until Villa O'Higgins was a small road through the wilderness, with few houses and plenty of moors between the mountains, rivers and forests.
After Villa Cerro Castillo the pavement ended and the road headed directly west for quite a while before turning south again. The next slightly bigger settlement was Puerto Rio Tranquilo, a touristy town famous for its marble cliffs and caves. Like most visitors, we took a boat tour to see them. The boat spent more than half an hour near the rock formations and went inside several of the caves, so we were quite satisfied with the tour. The way back was like a roller coaster ride, the small boat jumping up and down the waves on the windy lake.
The road followed the coast of the lake General Carrera, at times high on top of the cliffs offering marvellous views of the lake. At the bridge over the narrow passage between lake General Carrera and lake Bertrand we stopped for a break. A Chilean family was enjoying the sunny afternoon and the father started fishing using a simple reel of line, a hook and baits. Within twenty minutes he had caught three trouts, one weighing a bit less than a kilo and two smaller ones, one of which he gave to us to cook for dinner.
Following day we arrived to the southern end of lake Bertrand, where the water was flowing out forming the beginning of the Baker river. It was one of the most beautiful rivers on our route, with clear blue water rushing down the valley. Some 15 kilometers further south was the confluence of rivers Baker and Nef, where large masses of water joined each other with great force. The water from Nef was much more brown so Baker lost its superb colour at that point.
Before arriving to Cochrane, we took an alternative route on the other side of the Baker river. In distance it was probably even a bit shorter than the main road, but included a very steep climb of 500 meters of altitude over a pass. We had to push our bikes several times, but enjoyed the views and the quietness of the route — during the whole 30 km we saw only one car and a horseman.
Cochrane was a slightly larger town than all others in the region with a couple of thousand inhabitants and a better than average selection of groceries. We bought food for a week knowing that there wouldn't be any shops during the next 230 kilometers, and headed out to the last section towards Villa O'Higgins, the southernmost point of the Carretera Austral.
The first 40 kilometers after Cochrane was very bad gravel with a lot of washboard, not the most enjoyable cycling experience. There was also still a significant amount of traffic, mostly cars and minivans heading to Caleta Tortel, a village famous of its wooden walkways by the sea. We were not willing to cycle 25 km there and the same way back to see the village so we skipped it and continued directly south from the Tortel crossing.
After the crossing of Caleta Tortel the number of cars reduced dramatically and the road became nicer and nicer. Water was flowing down from the mountains on both sides of the road in numerous small streams. There were many lakes and even more wetland, making us feel like being in Swedish or Norwegian Lapland. It was the only road through wilderness with only an occasional house every 10 or 20 kilometers, which contributed to the Lapland feeling. Although even here fences often separated the privately owned lands from the public road, there were plenty of wonderful places for wild camping.
We came forwards a bit faster than we had anticipated and arrived in 4,5 days to Villa O'Higgins. It was a rather pleasant village or small town, mostly living from the tourism but featuring modest family-owned guesthouses and small grocery stores instead of hotels and fancy restaurants. It was a dead end for everybody coming by a motor vehicle, which meant that most didn't bother to drive that far. There was a general sense of calmness and we heard of many people who had stayed in the village longer than they had originally planned. We spent three days resting and going for a couple of short walks, and would have probably stayed for some days more if we didn't have a certain date to be in Ushuaia, still quite a long way further south.
For cyclists and backpackers, it was possible to continue further from Villa O'Higgins and to cross the border to Argentina. Actually there were even two alternatives, a road and hike over the mountains to the east and a more well known ferry crossing plus hike towards the south. We chose the latter, mainly because it brought us much more directly towards Puerto Natales, where we had sent a package at the beginning of our trip to pick up later.
One of the two ships crossing the lake O'Higgins offers a half day side trip until the glacier carrying the same name. Compared to the steep fare of simply getting on the other side of the lake, the glacier tour was more reasonably priced so we decided to go for the full package. The tour brought us close to the impressive wall of ice several dozen meters high, with small icebergs breaking off and floating on the lake. We had never been so close to a big glacier before and with its various shades of blue it was more colourful than other glaciers we had seen on the trip. As a small surprise a glass of whisky with glacier ice was served to all passengers. We opted for the kids' version of juice and ice, adding alcohol to our already slightly upset stomachs after the trip on the windy lake didn't feel like a good idea.
The majority of passengers returned on the ship to Villa O'Higgins, we and a few others stepped out on the south side of the lake, where we camped for a night before continuing. The Chilean border control was only a few hundred meters further, the actual border with Argentina 15 kilometers away. Until that point there was a narrow gravel road, followed by a 6 km hiking trail leading to the Argentinian border post at Lago Desierto. It was a scenic but pretty strenous day, as our loaded bicycles were not the ideal vehicles for a narrow trail going over roots and stones. However, we got through with lots of time and patience, as all the other cyclists taking the same route.
Lake Desierto was a beautiful place for a rest day. It was free to camp at the northern shore and during the first evening we had a great view to the Fitz Roy mountain and other high peaks over the lake. One day later we took another expensive ferry over to the southern shore to avoid another longer stretch on a hiking trail around the lake. Then it was only a 40 km easy ride to El Chalten, a touristy town and a hub of hiking trails near and around the famous mountains and glaciers. For us, it was the ending point of our bicycle tour, and the beginning of a new chapter in our travels.

on a Maine fishing vacation at Rideout's Lodge. Our 22-mile-long, East Grand
Lake has several features that make for excellent fishing: low-intensity
fishing, quality water and structure, and an abundance of small "fodder"
fish. As a result, trophy-sized game fish can be caught at any time of the
year. East Grand Lake is renowned for the finest smallmouth bass, landlocked
salmon and lake trout fishing. East Grand Lake offers what many consider the
finest landlocked salmon fishing in Maine. In recent years, the lake has
produced salmon over eight pounds, and it's not unusual for our guests to
boat 15-30 legal salmon in a day's fishing.

Within a twenty-five mile radius to the north of our lodge, we have over 100
lakes and ponds, along with major rivers. Some of these waters are world
renowned fisheries. Ice-out trolling for landlocked salmon and lake trout
can produce some rod jerking action.
Salmon are prowling the waters just below the surface at this time of year
and can be taken on streamer flies and lures on ultra-light equipment. This
action takes place as soon as you can get a boat on the water, through the
month of June. Ice-out combined with the local smelt run can produce some
breathtaking action.

Modern technological improvements plays an important role in every facet of life. New softwares, applications, gadgets, electronic devices and programs are developed on a daily basis and sold into the market. These technological improvements are useful for everyone, makes us comfortable and they also help to make work easy. Technology is used in every field, it is fast developing and improving the educational sector too. Each technological improvement provides more useful benefit to teachers and students in every academic level.
Advantage over their peers who have no practical knowledge of these gadgets and softwares. Technological improvements provides more academic opportunities to students and teachers. The cost of an existing technological tool becomes reduced to a minimal price when a new technological tool is introduced into the market, thereby making it more affordable to students and learners. Kids and pre-school children also benefit from technological advancements.
Many visual educational tools and video games have been designed to help little kids prepare for learning giving them a good academic beginning. Teachers can monitor and track student performances and academic progress from the students' database. Academic instructors can present instructions and informations using different technological channels in line with the curriculum and objectives of the class. Some technological tools can also be used to evaluate students learning process and enable teachers to make useful decisions on their students. Some people argue about the disadvantages of the impact of technology on children.
They disagree with the fact that some children makes use of calculators instead of counting numbers. But the impact of technology in education cannot be wavered because it acts as a tool and also as a catalyst that changes the educational system. Students are therefore advised to accept technology in order to benefit from its advantages and teachers should endeavor to apply technology to improve their teaching skills.
Cloud computing is simply the process of saving and collecting programs and informations over the internet.Cloud computing can be carried out anytime and anywhere if there is an internet connection.They also have to consider regulations and information protection rules peculiar to their business and industry.
There are three types of cloud computing; public clouds, private clouds and hybrid clouds.
A public cloud is majorly the internet. Many service providers utilizes the internet to develop softwares and storage applications on a general cloud for the general use.Public clouds are cheaper to use because the software and bandwidth cost are paid by the service provider.The public cloud may not be the perfect fit for organizations because it minimizes configuration, security and SLA specificity.Examples of public clouds are; Sun Cloud, Google AppEngine, IBM's Blue Cloud etc.Private clouds may be expensive but it has the advantage of cloud design with adequate control of your own information center.
It makes use of internet connection rather than the usual use of computer's hard drive. The term 'cloud' is a simple metaphor for 'internet'.
Business organizations who desire to integrate the use of cloud computing must recognize the importance of their data, informations and applications.
Private Clouds are privately owned data and information center. It has more flexible operation, monitoring, automation and scalability.
An arrangement of network, server and hardware devices for storing data majorly used for cloud computing is referred to as a Private Cloud.
Private clouds are basically used by large-scale enterprises with higher security and safe keeping of data within the cloud. Hybrid Clouds is a form of storage used by some companies such that they control and utilize an internal private cloud and also a public cloud when the need arises. Let us look at the benefits of private cloud for businesses; A private cloud render valuable services to a single business organization or company unlike a public cloud which renders cheaper services to several companies. The effective usage of cloud computing devices results in a cloud computing service that can be customized and storage devices that can be designed and redesigned at will. The ability to design and redesign server and storage devices in private cloud computing makes it more useful and valuable for businesses. This is because a valuable private cloud computing arrangement usually managed by an individual or by an external expert allows private selection of server, network providers and storage devices. This design can be used for about three to five years in which more memory and storage space can be added to it within this period.
Disk drives and CPUs might need periodic upgrade which may be difficult and costly because it usually demand replacing the complete server.Private cloud computing is the most preferred for businesses that requires dynamism, private control and monitoring of their data.
Private cloud computing devices are more secured than other forms of cloud computing. This is because the company's files and informations are better secured and monitored on their servers such that no other individual or company can access it.The servers used for private cloud computing can be located within the company, managed and controlled by I.T. staff. There is no need to worry about the security of company data if it is located within the company's environment. They can also be located within the center of a cloud service provider and the company accesses the information on a secured network.Private cloud computing services are more reliable than other forms of cloud computing as it offers advanced and better services for users accompanied by reliable service providers.
Companies and business organizations utilizing private cloud computing enjoy the benefit of flexibility to configure data, informations and applications on servers without the permission of the cloud service provider.The flexibility is of great importance but it can only be fully utilized with complicated and complex functioning abilities to specially redesign your server and enjoy the benefits of private cloud computing. It also requires a lot of attention and monitoring when redesigning the private cloud. A simple software can be built to monitor and control the cloud computing devices such as server, hardware storage and networks comparing them with the applied loads.
This software can be used to determine the workload on each server and show which server needs to be upgraded or uploaded. This enables the business organization to fully utilize their private cloud computing infrastructural design. Private cloud computing however, requires an appreciable amount of financial investments as private clouds are designed on infrastructure, privately owned servers and storage equipments.A perfectly designed private cloud computing system is less expensive than an ordinary network server when compared per server. Therefore, private cloud computing platform provides the benefits of reliability, flexibility and less expensive cost of designing.

Story time: My first international trip was a family reunion abroad a cruise ship to Mexico. At one of the ports , me and a few cousins decided to go horseback riding. Our guide led us into a small town and down a dirt road where two men immediately started matching us to horses based on weight and height. After a brief introduction that consisted of four instructions ( left, right, go , and stop) we were off. A few minutes into the ride,my horse started going wayward and trotted away from the others. A cousin tried to come to my aid and set off after me. We went through traffic , passed a tour bus that most of our older relatives happened to be on, and only stopped when we collided with a rusty wire fence. We both ended up with bloody knees and elbows as well as permanent scars.
Despite this fail, I've always wanted to try horseback riding again so when I saw it was offered at our first stop at the Caribbean island of Grand Turk, I signed up without hesitating. I woke up early that morning and tried to dress without falling over (rainy days make for rocking ships) or waking the three other people in my room, watched the ship pull up to the dock while drinking my morning coffee, and then headed out to finally conquer the experience that went oh-so-wrong ten years before.
And this time, I was taking it a step further– I was going to ride a horse in the ocean.
This time there was a van to take me and four others to the stables. We enjoyed a scenic 15-minute ride through town in an open-air bus. It didn't take long to notice a few things about Grand Turk: For starters, the ocean flowed into some central areas of the town , making it look like glistening lakes were everywhere. There were also wild donkeys roaming all over. Lots and lots of donkeys. The way I heard it , they were brought to the island to work in the salt mines and after that business folded in the wake of tourism, the donkeys were just left to themselves. I never got close enough to actually touch the donkeys but others did, so I assume they're quite socialized.
The stables were adjacent to a beautiful piece of beach. We arrived just as the sun was starting to warm the sand. About ten safety instructors, all decked out in cargo shirts and straw hats, served as our guide. They gave us some directions and tips about riding and handling the horses ( again, the instructions were very brief), and , again, I was off. The first section of the tour was spent wandering around the island. The guide told us some tidbits about the island : it's only seven miles long, the government pays for college students to study abroad and even provide jobs after their return, and , according to the guide, they rarely get hit by hurricanes because the storms are too hungry to bother with tiny Grand Turk; they prefer the larger islands nearby.
By the time we returned to the stables , I was a bit nervous. I'd once again been stuck with a wandering horse. My horse often fell to the back of the group to munch on weeds and wouldn't get going again even though I made kissy noises and said, "Yah!" A few times the guides had to double back and cajole it back into line. After stripping to our bathing suits , we once again saddled up. This time I had a much bigger horse, and even though I only rode it down the beach and back, it was a much easier ride
In groups of two, we started towards the ocean. I was really nervous at this point( especially because I'm just learning to swim) and kept psyching myself up. I closed my eyes for the initial impact, and when I opened them I was doing it: I was frolicking in the ocean, atop a horse.
As soon as we hit the water, the horses started to gallop. It was cool but as we got deeper, it became much harder to hold on. I ended up squeezing the poor horse so hard that my thighs were sore for days. Not even a full minute later, I was back on sand. The experience was too short but I was still smiling from ear-to-ear.
Another adventure conquered.
The rest of the day wasn't nearly as exciting but I was on a high and enjoyed it nevertheless. Our guide took us to the lighthouse, which is probably Grand Turk's most recognizable landmark. I was more interested in the surroundings.
The lighthouse sits on top of a hill that overlooks the ocean. It's surrounded by edible cacti that has become part of the local cuisine. The site itself is also historical. In 1841, a ship carrying an illegal cargo of African slaves crashed on island banks. The Africans integrated into the population and it is thought that many of the Turk Islanders are descendents of these people.
After the tour ended, I explored the port for a bit. I found a display dedicated to the Mercury 7 and John Glenn.The man was the first astronaut to orbit Earth and upon his return, landed on the shores of Grand Turk.
Instead of joining my family for another tour, I grabbed a book and finished the day reading and splashing on the beach. I was only there for an hour before the rain started to fall again, but as me and my sore thighs hobbled back to the ship I could not stop smiling.
Stay tuned for next port stop: La Romana, Dominican Republic

The trial is based on the observation that breast feeding women (who have naturally raised levels of oxytocin) often have cystitis symptoms reduced. Those behind the trial at the University of Alabama believe that oxytocin has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.

Longford GAA Club News
BALLYMAHON: Congratulations to dual grandad Jimmy Lennon on the births of his two grandchildren and to parents Mark Lennon and Carmel, and John and Emer. Congratulations also to Pauric and Linda Connolly on the birth of baby boy Oscar. Best wishes and speedy recovery to senior panelists Charlie Byrne, James Kenny and Pedro Byrne who are all temporarily sidelined through injury. See you back soon guys. All members and players are asked to refer to the list of upcoming fixtures as circulated by Fergal and are now available on our website. Reference to the fixture list can be very useful when trying to ensure maximum availability of players for important fixtures. Our thanks to Gerard Hagan, PRO CLG Longford, who organised an IT training workshop in Áras Ui Bhriain on Thursday 28th February. The seminar was wide ranging and informative on all aspects of GAA electronic communication and will be very useful in website enhancement. Ballymahon was represented by club officers David McCormack and Níamh Moran. Senior Challenge Match: A very lively and keenly contested match took place at Leo Casey Park on Sunday morning last. Ballymahon hosted Maryland in what proved to be hugely competitive encounter despite the 'friendly' tag. The home club involved the maximum number of panelists and just shaded a most entertaining contest. One of the more encouraging aspects of the game was the input and commitment of many younger and less experienced players. The club lotto draw took place on Monday March 4. Results in next week's notes.
CLONGUISH: Clonguish GAA Club is holding a Football Coaching Information meeting on Thursday 7 March at 7:45pm in the complex and Ralph room. We are encouraging those who might be interested in getting involved, with some aspect of coaching within the club, from current mentors, parents, senior players to those who have been involved in the past.

On the night, we will have a number of short readings from the book, recitation of a couple of poems and a few speeches. Some of our Scor participants will also be entertaining guests during the evening. We are looking for volunteers to help out with a number of jobs prior to and on the night. The clubhouse will have to be prepared for the evening, tidied up, decorated, chairs, etc. John and Patsy Martin have already started on this job but more help will be required in the few days leading up to the 15th. There will be light refreshments provided on the night and a few people have already put their names forward to help with this. More help will be needed with things like actually selling the books, car parking etc. Anyone willing to help on the night is asked to contact Andrew Gettings, Seamus Finnan, Noel Kelly or any member of the club executive.

I would like to express my complete satisfaction with the
service provided by Libby & Christine at the Miles Resources
Christmas Party.
They along with their staff performed flawlessly and I received many comments from the employees. It was our first Christmas party that we hosted and food was a major concern, we were put at ease by tour staffŐs commitment to providing a delicious meal to the partygoers.
Doug Stiffarm CDS

Miles Resources, LLC
Married life is awesome!
Everyone at the wedding keeps saying that was the best food they ever had at a wedding. Thank you so much for the professional service you and your team provided on that day.
Jennifer Chon
When we started the search for a venue we never thought of C.I. Shenanigans.
We ended up calling out of desperation and were pleasantly surprised by the results. Every person who attended could not believe the amount of food everyone was served. The quality of the food was superb. The beverage service was great and the guy managing the whole thing for us was completely on top of everything we needed. We have already put out good PR about your establishment. We will continue to frequent your restaurant and will recommend you to anybody who will listen. Job well done!
Tony Schwaerzler, PHR, SHRM-CP
Director, Human Resource Development
Cascade Designs, Inc.
Thank you for all you did to make the ARK Wine Tasting and Auction a huge success.
I had a great stress-free time. The food was wonderful again--such a nice variety, even plenty of good things for a food challenged person like me. Your party-planning instincts are exceptional--room layout was even better this year when I didn't think it could be.
I just wanted to thank you and the staff present at
Shenanigans yesterday for the wonderful service we received
at our event.
We weren't the easiest of groups (random people kept requesting from the staff extra seats/tables be placed in the room), and the staff handled it beautifully. Everyone commented on how accommodating, friendly, and attentive the staff were; as well as how delicious the food was. Our head server, Ty, was a great liaison and was regularly checking in with me to make sure we had everything we needed. Please pass on my thanks, as well as that of the Michaels family, for making a very difficult event so incredibly easy and the family felt they were able to solely focus on saying goodbye to their loved one. Gary's widow, Kathy (my mother-in-law), told me several times how much she appreciated that the event was exactly what she had envisioned for her husband's memorial. Thank you and the staff, again, for making it so easy for the family. My husband and I had our wedding reception in the same room almost 2 years ago, and with the great service we received at both events we have decided that Shenanigans will be our go-to venue for all important life events :-)
Amanda Michaels
I want to thank you and your staff for the excellent service we received at Jasmine's graduation celebration.
Louis and his crew were very helpful and assisted us with whatever questions we had. The food was outstanding and we had nothing but compliments from our guests about how tasty the food was (both appetizers and main meal...if I knew that the stuffed mushrooms were SO delicious, I would have ordered more!!!). It was a pleasure working with you in making Jasmine's graduation celebration a success!!! I will definitely recommend your restaurant to others. Hopefully, one day I will be able to make a trip back to Washington and stop by CI Shenanigans to enjoy a meal without me stressing out. Once again, thank you!!
Much Aloha, Nan Lucero
Just two words for you and your staff: PHENOMANOL SERVICE!
Your crew was great and they accommodated a large group with great service. By the way, your food is excellent! Raving reviews by all. Also, the experience was one of our best outings as we go across the country from California to Florida in the US. So many positive comments.

River Song's Future Sonic Screwdriver
The mysterious archaeologist...
- 7-inch replica of River Song's sonic screwdriver
- Light & sound effects from the TV show
DOCTOR: Your screwdriver... looks exactly like mine.
RIVER: Yeah. You gave it to me.
DOCTOR: I don't give my screwdriver to anyone.
RIVER: I'm not anyone.
The mysterious, curly-haired, and wee-bit-crazy River Song waltzed into The Doctor's life in the episode "Silence in the Library." She was even wielding a sonic screwdriver, which she claimed was given to her by The Doctor himself. Of course, The Doctor remembers nothing of that encounter because it hasn't happened yet. Their timelines will continue to intersect at odd moments, with River's stream going one way and The Doctor's going the other.
This sonic screwdriver is River Song's. Why cosplay a companion when you can be a real time traveler... possibly a time lady! (Is that what they call female time lords?) At the very least, she has Time Lord DNA (and possibly a Time Head). This 7-inch long replica of River Song's Sonic Screwdriver includes light and sound effects from the TV show. Enjoy it, Sweetie.
Product Specifications
- A sonic screwdriver more advanced than the Doctor's own
- Wait, it looks awfully similar to the Doctor's sonic screwdriver!
- 7-inch long replica of River Song's sonic screwdriver
- From the episode "Silence in the Library"
- Includes light and sound effects

Connecting "Soul Mate" Beliefs and "Starter Marriages"
The Soul Mate Fallacy, Part II
Posted Jul 13, 2012
In last week's blog entry, I argued that soul mates do not exist. The next few blogs will expand more fully on how a belief in "soul mates" often sets people up for undesirable outcomes in their relationships.
Before launching into the substance of my argument, let me first back up and mention that people conceptualize soul mates in different ways. One reader presented a thoughtful perspective in response to my last post, asserting that "soulmates is just the universe providing an opportunity to work on something that will be greater than the sum of two parts…that will enable both to grow more through that union, than separately. This learning might be in the form of losing the soulmate, or in the form of the suffering that comes from knowing the soulmate and not being able to be together in this lifetime."
This understanding of the concept of soulmates is a rather transcendental view that emphasizes the role of our most intimate relationships as catalysts for individual and mutual growth. I resonate with aspects of this idea. However, I do not think that when most people think of a soul mate, they embrace the concept in this way. I think for most people, the concept of a "soul mate" comes fully loaded with associated notions of perfect fit, destiny, and a permanent commingling of two lives (and two souls). In other words, when someone espouses a belief in "soul mates," this belief most often carries the hope that destiny will bring them into a permanent union with their one perfect match. To the degree that someone adopts this kind of belief, there is a heightened risk for poor decision—making during the dating phase of a relationship.
The initial phase of a romantic relationship, what I refer to in my book as the "cocaine rush" phase of love, is reliably associated with obsessive thought, positively biased cognitive filtering, and untested assumptions about each other's character. We are all susceptible to some degree of love blindness when we first meet an exciting new partner. In the early days of relationships, when we have little information about the other person, we are particularly prone to what researchers refer to as obsessive identification.* In other words, we see what we want to see. As researchers from the University of Waterloo put it, "people immersed in the experience of romantic love often appear to bend reality to the will of their hopes and desires."**
Beliefs in notions like a "perfect match" and "destiny" are particularly insidious when combined with the broadly held belief that explosively positive feelings are the mark of true love. A person who becomes convinced that they have found their soul mate is effectively telling themself, "It does not get better than this." For this reason, those who believe that they have found the "One" or their "Soul Mate" are likely to be at greater risk for marrying prematurely after a relatively short courtship.
Of course, someone with a balance of mature personality traits could potentially believe, "Well, since I have met my soul mate, time should not alter our predestined bond. As such, there is no hurry to get married, so we'll take the time to build a strong relationship before we marry." But this isn't what most often happens in practice. In practice, new lovers who are convinced that they have found their soul mate are much more likely to jump into an impetuous marriage, believing that destiny favors the consummation of their supposed one—in—several—trillion bond with each other.
Related to this, a belief that one has found one's soul mate is often linked to prematurely foreclosing opportunities to develop relationships with a variety of people — both friendships and dating relationships. In my last blog entry, I made light of the notion that teenagers across America in towns with tiny populations often discover their soul mates in their very own high school. Commonly, this leads to regrettable first marriages between two people in a relatively constricted social pool who gave each other their first taste of the new lover's high. In some cases, the intoxicating tincture of "destiny" provides added justification for an impulsive leap into marriage — "life brought us together, so it must be meant to be."
Speaking of the intersection of "destiny" beliefs and constricted dating pools, I saw a recent advertisement for a Christian dating site that proclaimed, "Find God's match for you on [website name]!" Does God really need this particular e-match-making company to mediate the unfolding of a cosmic plan to bring people together? It's hard not to roll one's eyes and think, 'well, it's a good thing that God's match for that person also happens to pay subscription fees for that very dating site.'
In fact, it seems to be a trend among many young couples of faith to marry after a relatively short courtship (often while citing the biblical phrase "it's better to marry than to burn with lust"). As far as I can tell, the thinking is, "Since we share the same core beliefs, and we find each other very attractive, then everything else will work out according to the principle of the Great Love that commands our lives."
Many eager couples are especially prone to assume multiple levels of compatibility based on mutual profession of the same belief system. In such cases, profession of the same belief system is treated as a kind of Hasbro Candy Land "gumdrop mountain pass" that allows the couple to skip several steps of a wise courtship process and to marry prematurely.
Profession of the same belief system should not be viewed in this light. If holding similar beliefs were a true gumdrop pass, the rates of divorce would be lower for Christian couples than for non-—hristian couples, and they are not. It's not necessarily the case that one or the other person is trying to misrepresent his or her beliefs intentionally but that during the cocaine-rush phase, we filter out evidence of what does not fit, and make a case for how we are destined to play opposite each other in the greatest love story of all time. We miss the things we ought to notice on other levels of fit. In this way, Christian couples may be at greater risk of a variant of the soul mate fallacy, which in this case materializes as the cocaine-rush thought that the other person "must be 'the One' whom God designed just for them."
Ultimately, the feeling that one has met one's perfect match (or God's match for oneself) can set couples up for a particularly devastating period of disillusionment once they are married. When similar spiritual beliefs are used to support this feeling, the eventual disillusionment may result in a crisis of faith, a questioning of one's entire belief system. So, instead of rushing into marriage, it seems especially wise for all couples, whether Christian or not, to consider the biblical injunction to count the cost before making the leap into marriage.

Hey guys!
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! I hope you are all wearing green today - I am in the form of nail polish (naturally).
Today I have a swatch and review of Dance Legend Top Magnetic for you guys.
Top Magnetic is a silvery grey magnetic top coat.
The formula was great - smooth and really easy to apply. The top coat is supplied with a magnet with diagonal lines, which works perfectly! You just have to hold it over the wet polish for 10 seconds or so and the silver particles all line up nicely to create the magnetic effect.
The magnetic effect is very strong and clean, provided you hold the magnet still for the 10 seconds.
Down below the Top Magnetic is shown over the green polish Essie Pretty Edgy.
Dance Legend Top Magnetic is really awesome because it makes any one of your polishes into a magnetic!
What do you girls think of that? Let me know in the comments!
- Louise.

Alexandra House has a team of dedicated volunteers working in virtually every program. For prospective volunteers interested in working directly with clients as advocates or childcare providers, we offer a 50-hour training program that prepares individuals for the challenges of direct-service volunteering. For prospective volunteers interested in working behind the scenes in our kitchen or facility, we provide a quick orientation that allows volunteers to make a difference without extensive training.
All individual volunteer opportunities require a completed Volunteer Application, background check, and a personal interview. For more information, please contact Cathy Siegel, Volunteer Coordinator at 763-795-5452 or email.
Alexandra House also welcomes various community and or civic groups, churches, college students, and others who have interest in doing one-time volunteer projects or helping with special events. If your group is interested in completing a one-time or on-going volunteer project at Alexandra House, check out our Group Volunteer Opportunities.
The Alexandra House will holds its 50-hour volunteer training biannually. This training presents the unique opportunity for community members to learn critical skills when working with victims/survivors of domestic violence, sexual violence, dating violence, and abuse in later life. Whether working in our shelter, as hospital advocates, or childcare providers, volunteers are an indispensable component of Alexandra House's work. There is no substitute for a reassuring voice and a steady hand in an emergency.
The training is comprised of ten individual (mandatory) sessions that cover topics that range from legal matters to the specific needs of survivors and their families. Interactive workshops, guest speakers, and the most current research help prepare volunteers for the sensitive nature of this work and to hone appropriate responses to crisis.
Along with a desire to help Anoka County families, an ideal candidate must have excellent communication skills, heightened cultural awareness, and an ability to maintain confidentiality. Additionally, candidates must: be over 18, have a valid Driver's License, pass a background check, be able to make a one-year commitment, and attended meetings and trainings as needed.

Loree Lough Guestpost
I'm convinced that first responders are not like the rest of us.
Whether cloaked in the uniforms of soldiers, firefighters, police officers, or EMTs, something inside enables each to silence doubt and fear and plow through danger to protect those who were not blessed with the trait. I am one of the Unblessed. To prove it, let me share a true story:
One dark, starless night, several dozen family members gathered around our campfire, whispering about reports that a mountain lion had been spotted in the area. My brother-in-law excused himself to use the facilities, and, true to his always-joking nature, tiptoed up the hill. When he crashed through the underbrush, growling like a grizzly, adults scattered like ashes on the wind. As our wide-eyed, S'mores-sticky kids said "What's going on!", we—the parents assigned to protect them—huddled on the cabin porch and faced the ugly truth: We could never again claim "I'll lay down my life for my children!"
While interviewing nearly 200 first responders who served on 9/11, I heard nearly 200 variations of the same story … and 200 ways of saying what this New York City policeman said: "I didn't give a thought to what might happen to me. I just wanted to get to my buddies, no matter what it took." He lost four fingers, digging through the smoking debris in search of his comrades. During my interview with one of the paramedics who carried the dead and dying to waiting ambulances, one said "I don't consider myself a hero … just a guy doing what anyone else would do under the same circumstances."
No, not "just a guy doing his job," I argued. And although I told my campfire story to underscore that truth, he still didn't get it. What more proof did I need to shore up my belief that first responders really aren't like the rest of us! Is it possible, I wondered, to show them how much we, the Unblessed Cowards, appreciate the matter-of-fact way they gear-up and stride nobly into the line of fire?
The First Responders series is my answer to that question, and I pray that every reader comes away with newfound respect and admiration for those who take John 15:13 a step beyond its meaning: "Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay his life down for his friends."
How much greater is the gift of the brave men and women who humbly live those words daily ...
… for strangers.

About the Book:
Dusty and Grace find love together, but will it be enough to pull them through tragedy?
On a steamy spring morning, Dusty Parker—part-time pastor, part-time search and rescue team leader, and full-time administrator at a school for troubled boys—joins the search for a missing teen girl. He partners with volunteer and inner city school teacher Grace Sinclair, and what they find bonds them in ways neither could have expected.
As they begin to build a life together, a visitor from the past causes Dusty and Grace to further open their hearts and home.
But a dark and dangerous threat looms over their seemingly perfect world, and in one terrifying night…
…everything changes

Quarriers, one of Scotland's leading social care charities, has launched its Summer Appeal to allow more than 1,000 children to enjoy the gift of a carefree day out, with around 517 youngsters supported by services across Glasgow set to benefit.
This is Quarriers' fifth Summer Appeal and a donation of £15 per child will allow Quarriers to organise a memorable day trip for the children and young people it supports, giving them the chance to escape their everyday lives and take part in an experience that could be new for many.
The Summer Appeal will give children and families which benefit from the following services a day to remember including the Family Support Service and Kinship Care Service in Barlanark, Glasgow North West Carers Service, Opt-in and Opt-In Early Years in Govan and the Family Resource Project in Ruchazie. The Fostering Service in Glasgow is being supported by the Summer Appeal for the first time this year.
Last year, Quarriers surpassed expectations by giving 1,036 children across Scotland a day out and this year the social care charity hopes to go one better by ensuring even more youngsters are given the gift of a carefree day.
Thanks to the expansion of the Summer Appeal, children and young people supported by 16 of Quarriers' services across Glasgow, Renfrewshire, Inverclyde, Falkirk, Fife, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Moray, Stranraer and Dumfries and Galloway will benefit from the campaign and includes young carers, children with additional needs, children living in poverty and young people who require residential support.
The children and young people at the heart of the Summer Appeal are faced with a range of challenging circumstances and caring responsibilities relating to mental health, disability, poverty or difficulties at home. The Appeal aims to give these youngsters a day where they can let go of their troubles, creating lasting memories.
Days out are tailored to suit the children and families supported by Quarriers, taking into account their various support needs as well as what they enjoy doing. With donations from the Summer Appeal, the charity hopes to set up trips to the seaside, farm parks, outdoor pantomimes, nature trails, mountain biking, kayaking, climbing and crazy golf as well as organising traditional summer treats like ice cream and picnics in the park.
Alice Harper, Chief Executive of Quarriers said: "Our Summer Appeal is now in its fifth year and by donating £15, you will allow at least one child the chance to escape their worries and experience a different environment. These days out give children we support the chance to make new friends and create happy memories that remain long after the summer days fade.
"Days out build relationships with the people we support, allowing us to help them reach their potential. The outings that we plan are geared around maximising team work and building resilience, as well as having fun, so vital skills are learnt.
"Last year we were astonished by the generosity of our supporters and this year we want to do even better by giving even more children the chance to enjoy a carefree day and so we ask people to get behind this campaign and show their support."
In addition to days out, Quarries provides support groups, befriending services, mentoring and life coaching to help children with a difficult start in life to grow in confidence, stay in school and make connections with people going through similar experiences. The aim is to instil a positive view of their future from an early age, helping to transform their lives.
A gift of £15 will provide one child with a day out, and gifts of any amount are welcome. Supporters can make a contribution by visiting www.quarriers.org.uk/summer-appeal.

What makes us different?
Most painters ask you for a color palette, or suggest colors based on typical likes and dislikes.
We dive deeper.
Colors are transformative. They transform the spaces you're in, the styles you have, and the experiences you want to have in the world. It's different from just looking at a color and picking one. Colors that we choose through the LeBaron Method will have a powerful impact in your life.
"Gregory and his reputation quickly rose to the top as the painter for us. Look at all those 5-star ratings on Yelp!!! He worked closely with us to better understand what inspires us. His consultation was professional and he took the time to really understand our needs. He even followed up to see if we had any additional questions. A few weeks of living in our home and the colors still bring smiles to our faces." Tim T.
About Transformational Color
Artistic, Professional, Craftsman Painting
Transformational Color offers personalized painting services incorporating distinctive design, dedication to quality, an expert eye for color, and a unique approach to creating one-of-a-kind painted finishes. For almost 30 years Gregory LeBaron of Transformational Color has been designing and painting homes and workplaces, creating beautiful, lasting results with complete client satisfaction.
We have a professional team of artists and painters to ensure the completion of any size project. From improving your home with exterior paint and deck staining to interior painting, or faux finished walls and ceilings, stenciled borders, elegant trompe l'oeil painting and sophisticated murals, your satisfaction is assured.
Your home or workplace is an expression of who you are.
And, when it is time to paint, questions often come up about how your home or business is representing who you are, and how your space defines how others see you. This is important when entering into the conversation about color choices and design. I believe the colors you choose actually help you present yourself, and in a way, help you express who you are in the world.
Meet your team.
Our painters are fully trained professionals who take extensive pride in their work. If you are dissatisfied with your home or office's new paint job for any reason, we will do everything we can to make you happy. We have 100% review rate so far, so we're fairly confident we can do it for you too.
