Hey guys…it's been awhile since I have written anything, but at I had a lot of things going in my academic, family, and financial life. It has taken a huge toll my health, especially in regards to depression. However, just this month alone was just horrible. I mean… I felt worthless, shameful, unmotivated to do pretty much anything. I have been hardly eating and I know this TMI but I haven't been going on my period for awhile. Hey let me tell you, even the absence or duration of period can be an indication how much stress you are on. And trust me I am worried. I didn't even have it last month. I am awfully scared you know. However at least you know I am seriously stressed lout.
I have just overcome a cold, but for the past two days I was sick it hit me at an inconvenient time. I have about two papers that are pretty much due next week and a group project at my school, "Charlotte's Web". Yet lately I have been trying to recover from the family that happened this month. This why I can't stand drama, I am too sensitive to it. I mean family drama is different you know? It's family. But drama, drama? Helllll no! I don't tolerate drama queens or kings….they make so cause so much drama for no reason or even if there is, there's one of those, "the means justify the ends" drama or if it's due to insecure issues, I got no time time for that! So it's why I am very picky people with people I allow in my life. I know everyone has baggage, but it's the way they carry their load that either compels me to help them or stay away from them.
Right now, I am in a very delicate part of my life. I mean, because of the family drama dealt with about almost a month ago, led me to be tardy so many to my student teacher site. And to due that mess, has placed in a sort of academic probation where I can't be late ever. But even so, that hard for me to do especially when trying to heal past the family issues and then you've got your corporation teacher and your school mentor breathing behind your back, hoping you won't mess up. So I ended up quitting it and I am re-planning to take it next semester. Now it seems like quitting is like giving up, but it's not.
Now I am sure you are wondering, "Ezi, you promote mental health awareness, yet why don't you tell you school and your student teaching site about your mental health disorders?" For starters, I have done so in the past in my previous job and to one friend, but I ended up getting burned. And right now, I am trying to build my life and career and I really don't have to energy to deal with the burns that may be inflicted on me, because of mental health. School and the pursuit of my credential degree helps me to get away from the stigma handed by me. I don't need to be judged for my performance and mental health conduction at the same time. I can deal with the performance part of getting in my field, not mental health. I am trying to work hard to that I can be hired one day, buy better health coverage and then maybe one day….one day when my feet are safely secured in the field, then sure. But unless, I have been a teacher for 3 years or I am able to be on the same status as Kristen Bell or Jared Padalecki or Kid Cudi, then maybe I will be to do so. But oh, my gosh! I am digressing! Now on to the part as to why I quit my student teaching position.
Here are my reasons for why I decided to postpone my student teaching position: 1. Even if I did redeem myself, would my CT and my mentor still believe I am working hard to regain their trust? Look, while I understand you have to "work hard" to regain a person's trust, how long is that going to be? I feel when people like you, they are willing to do anything to help you and/or forgiveness is possible. However, I feel if people are not "feeling" you or doubt you or just plain ol' don't like you, it's harder to regain their trust and for them to help you. And right now I am feeling the latter and the hopelessness that comes with it. I need to stay focused and confident so I become the best teacher ever! 2. This is my chance to regroup myself. I need the time to get myself to get myself together mentally, psychologically and academically together. I need to give it all that I have got, because next semester will be my last chance to become a student teacher. 3. And 4. Working as a substitute teacher will not only help me build teaching presentation experience, but more money for me to save up till I my first day as a student teacher. 5. I need as much support as I can, even if that means I have to student teach somewhere else. The thing is…I miss the kids I worked with along my CT. I remember when I was nervous to meet them. I mean it's a class of 32 kids, that's the largest I have catered to. Eventually, the students and I got to know each other. For example, there was this one kid where he was a struggling reader, however he loved to read. Annnnd…he and I are both fans of Wishbone! His school library had a good collection of Wishbone series: classics, adventure and mystery. I used to have a good collection of the series, until my dad took them away from me. I have about 3 or 4 books left. So I let him borrow one my books, Wishbone classics: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He was so excited! He didn't know anyone who would be into Wishbone and have another book of the series that his library didn't have. With one young girl, she enjoyed my Harry Potter Spells app, because of my interest in Harry Potter. Little by little, I developed relationships with each one of them. In fact, when it became my turn to present an assignment to the class, they were quite respectful. I had a hard time, explaining the cross word activity and how their spelling words were involved, but they grew to understand and ended up loving it!
"Ms.O," Said one student
"Yes," I said
"Can we do it backwards?" He asked.
"Sure!" I said
"Yessssss!" The student said as they ran back to their seat.
"Hey Ms. O, can we do it going sideways?" Said another student
"Absolutely!" I said agreeably.
"Yeaaaa!" she said excitedly.
The purpose of the crossword activity was so they can learn how to identify words and practice spelling (in order to know how many boxes they needed for the word). I was so happy they were having a good time with it, especially on their down time!
Unfortunately, because of my many, many tardies and the "academic probation" I was placed on, I decided to leave. I need to save my reputation and recover from the stresses of the weeks before. But….I would miss my kids. I would miss helping them and laughing with them…why? Why couldn't I be better student-teacher? Why did I have to let my family drama affect me? Why did I have to live with mental illness? I should be able to be on the same level of my colleagues? Dammit!
So on the last day, I told the kids that I was leaving. And the response from the kids was overwhelming! All of them were protesting against my departure, standing up from their seats with their sad, disappointed faces. Just writing about this moment makes me tear up. I never knew how much I meant to kids.
"I wanted to just leave, because I hate saying "good-byes". There's nothing good about saying "good-bye" to a good thing. But I knew I couldn't just do that to you guys…leave you guys hanging. It wouldn't be fair to you guys." I lamented.
"Okay then," Said the cooperative teacher "Let's say "See ya later!"
"See ya later!" The class said
"We're going to miss you Ms. O!" Said one student. Then the thing I knew all the kids came to give me a hug, but there were so many that I ended up give them a great big group hug! Some of the kids hugged me two or three more times, including the little boy who liked Wishbone.
"I'm going to miss you" He said as he was holding in his tears. His face looked so sad. I then realized I let him borrow my Wishbone book. Usually I am not very fond of giving my books away, because they have such sentimental value to me. Not to mention, Wishbone books are rare. But this time, I gave a book (a rare one at that) that was special to me to this awesome kid. I am trying not to cry as I write this.
Before the boy could even reach into his desk to get the book out, I told him, "Keep it. Besides, you need to know what happens next in the story, right?"
He was so astonished because of how he knows it's my book and also it's a rare book. He gave me another hug and said, "Thank you, Ms. O. I'll miss you."
But I told him I needed my Wishbone bookmark back. I let him borrow it previously, to allow him to enjoy him using it while reading book. Dude…that was hard. I mean…I only spent three weeks with them and I already made bond with them. The rest of the week, I was drowning in my sorrows with even more sleepless nights that let to headaches.
I can't let this happen again. I tired of building bonds with kids that I can stay with for a short amount of time. I wanna work hard to become a teacher so I can continue to create bonds and bring out the best out of them. I mean, I still remember the teacher's aide that help me believe in myself, waaaaay back in preschool. See back then I have always wanted to get the "Busy Bee" award, because it looked so cool and everyone seemed to received the reward except me. Upon me crying about this, she said to me one time, "If you work hard, you can get anything you want."
"Anything?" I said hopefully.
"Anything." She said confidently. I have lived by her words ever since and helped push me when I want to give up. I want to have the same impact on a child, the same way the aide was to me. That's why I want to be a teacher and this is why I work hard every day to battle my anxiety and depression.

No, I'm not really going to Tibet. But I feel like I've been there after reading The Skull Mantra by Elliot Pattison.
That's what's so great about mystery series. You not only get a good story, you experience worlds you'd never know otherwise.
In this case, the setting is the story. It's about what happens when a peaceful, spiritual culture (Tibet) meets the brutal efficiency of invaders (China). You can't help but root for the Tibetans, even when you know the outcome.
Reading this made me want to know more about the Tibet that was. And I got a glimpse of it last night, watching the movie Seven Years in Tibet.
It's the true story of Heinrich Harrer, an Austrian mountain climber who became friends with the Dalai Lama at the time of China's takeover of Tibet.
It's not a great movie, but it does show what happens when civilizations clash—something we all need to know about in today's world.
So please join me in a prayer for peace. Om mani padme hum.

My friend, I have been in the habit of downloading photos of men on the Internet, whom I find particularly handsome. One such cyber-hottie is a "Casper Titchworth" whose face and story I discovered over six years ago, while searching for something related (perhaps regarding Mark Twain, another famous steamboat pilot).
Sending you an attached image of Casper, whose face just delights me, to gaze upon, even for hours. I have never seen a set of ears before that I would ever call "outstanding", but there you go. Notice how his fresh-cut hair drapes just a tad over those gorgeous ears…the noble bright-clouded forehead, those stunning eyebrows set above two luminous orbs of iris…all touched off by those most inviting lips (whose glory can not really be concealed beneath that janitor-broom moustache), and equally noble chin and jawline. The man's a doll. Even more astounding: I see most definitely a spiritual light emanating through (and even from) his darling visage.
C. Titchworth was born around 1843 in Michigan, and became a steam and tugboat driver of some reknown. Unfortunately, he is also associated with the sudden disapperance of a steamship in 1874…as the captain of that same boat in 1879! As you can see here:
Owens Valley History: The Bessie Brady
I think there's a typo in one or both dates…as I have no idea if he disappered with that ship, or they built a replacement, for which he was captain for a spell. Or any number of other possibilities. But I can tell you this, with the greatest assurance:
He is not a man…at least, not a normal kind of man. He is one of these mysterious guardians, such as you and I have discussed many times over the years. I recognize my own…but it isn't gaydar, it's Gabrieldar…a fanciful title I give to my equally fanciful "angel spotting". I do consider myself the preeminent spotter among all angel spotters now present on this planet…perhaps even preeminent over all previous A-spotters, too! (Though this would certainly open me up to accusations of hubris by some of our more conservative and fervent members.)
We are (I have no doubt at this point) both members of this same circle of avatars (or angels, or guardians, or whatever)…whose mission on this planet involved having our memories totally erased, and implanted with new, false memories. This is akin to tales of Apollo descending to earth and reincarnated into a man, in order to understand better, the needs of Zeus's most sterling creation (yes, of course I mean homo sapiens; please, stop monkeying around). Even older cultures preserved similar tales from generation to generation…of gods or angels descending to earth, in order to guide mankind away from their path to destruction.
And in Hinduism, it is said most implicitly, that while Krisna incarnates in each generation along with us, for most of his lives he remains unknown, an ordinary citizen in the eyes of his neighbors (except perhaps for a chosen few). But whenever humanity descends dangerously low to the point of no return, Krisna then makes himself known, and he is addressed as the "nth" (replacing "n" with a number greater than 7, not sure which) incarnation of the one true creator of all: Visnu.
For now, Casper must remain a friendly ghost in my dreams…though I am equally certain that he and I shall soon be together once more. There is a great force of spiritual kinship I feel with him, and others…some existing now or till very recently (such as my Randolph)…some existed somewhere in the past, perhaps the quite distant past.
There is also this short biographical piece on Mr. Titchworth, though it mentions nary a whit about his colorful career as a sea captain!
Which document told me something about Titchworth, that I never knew till now! That he is interred here in San Francisco! Obviously, I need to get out to his grave, and see what happens next. Care to join me for a midnight picnic?
Casper calls to me now and then, so I load that handsome mug of his on my computer's LCD screen, and dream and meditate upon that glorious visage of the most gracious gentleman that ever my eyes have rested upon. Truly a dear friend, albeit ghostly!

Bank weighs two-speed economy
By the BBC's economics reporter Dharshini David
As the Bank of England begins its consideration of interest rates this week, the UK economy appears to be in good shape.
At a time when the global economy is faltering, the UK appears to be still strong - at least on the face of it.
The economy has been growing for over eight years - the longest continuous period since the war.
Employment is at record level, inflation is low and the cost of borrowing is close to its lowest for many years.
And certainly consumer spending, which accounts for about a half of economic activity is strong.
Buoyed by rising house prices, high employment , low interest rates and higher public spending, consumers are in an upbeat mood.
Equity markets may have had a rocky few months, but consumers' fortunes in the UK are effected far more by the value of their homes than that of any shares they may hold.
Increased spending
That means they are borrowing and spending more.
Retail sales rose by 6.4% over the last year - the fastest growth for four years.
Over most of the last decade, robust household spending has been the driving force behind growth in the economy as a whole.
Up until now, bargain hungry consumers and fierce competition between retailers have kept inflation low despite strong demand.
But now, there are signs that price pressures are creeping up.
Manufacturing slowdown
But the impressive statistics for the economy as a whole mask some increasingly weak spots, with some sectors already feeling the pinch from the global economic slowdown.
Perhaps the most obviously hit has been the export-dependent manufacturing sector.
Industry has already suffered over the last few years, largely due to sterling's strength against the euro, which has pushed export prices up - and caused the sector to fall briefly into recession in the late 1990s.
And no sooner had manufacturing got back on its feet than it appears to be on the brink of another slump.
Another technical recession - two or more quarters of falling output - looks likely within the next few months.
Global market pressure
Weaker global demand also means faltering exports - and a widening trade in goods deficit with the rest of the world.
But its not just exporters who have been hit by the US economic slowdown.
In an increasingly global market, the number of profit warnings issued by UK businesses in all sectors has risen.
UK companies have invested heavily in the US - close to 3% of the UK's national income comes from the income earned on these investment.
And equally, US companies have a heavy presence in the UK - and are likely to be trimming not only jobs, but also employment.
The turmoil in equity markets has also taken its toll on the financial sector.
Certainly, there is very clear evidence of this two speed economy, but the gulf between the performances of the manufacturing and other sectors of the economy has been evident for the last five years or so.
And most experts think the strength of the domestic economy will keep the UK as a whole well away from a recession.
Reason for concern?
There is concern in the sense that this divergent economy poses a problem for the policy makers, namely the Monetary Policy Committee at the Bank of England.
Speaking at the annual Mansion House dinner in June, the Bank's Governor Sir Edward George admitted the Bank of England had cut interest rates earlier this year to bolster consumer demand and insulate the UK from the global slowdown - at the expense of worsening the imbalance in the economy.
But he said this could spell trouble, if the value of the pound suddenly fell, perhaps due to speculation over euro entry, which could risk driving inflation up.
Edward warned "the imbalance can not continue to grow indefinitely, at some point, the elastic is going to break - quite possibly through a sharp exchange rate adjustment. And at that point, having deliberately stimulated domestic demand we would need to rein it back, but we could then find its momentum hard to stop."
In other words, the two speed economy poses a dilemma for the rate setters.
Cut the cost of borrowing further to help those parts of the economy which are being hurt by the global slowdown - and consumer demand could expand too fast.
This could risk inflation rising which would necessitate, ultimately, a sharp increase in rates.
But alternatively, not cutting rates any further (and raising them too soon) might risk the UK becoming sucked into the global economic slowdown.
With domestic spending still sturdy most experts believe interest rates will be left on hold for at least the next couple of months.
But as the performances of the key sectors of the economy diverge, so too are opinions on the direction interest rates will take after this point.
While many independent economists believe the cost of borrowing could have further to fall, a growing number are forecasting that the next move in rates could be up.

By Stephen HintonUniversity of California Press; 592 pp. $49.95
As late as the 1980s, Kurt Weill had the reputation of a second-tier composer whose greatest music was penned in the 1920s and early '30s. The critical position was that Weill's subsequent efforts — written after his immigration to the U.S. — amounted to an inferior sellout to American popular culture. Fortunately, these views have been displaced by an ever-growing appreciation of Weill's complete oeuvre, from his earliest theatrical efforts through his final works. One of those leading the charge in the rehabilitation of Weill's standing is musicologist Stephen Hinton, who here presents the first comprehensive analysis of Weill's entire corpus of theatrical and dramatic works — from ballet to cinema, from opera to Broadway musical.
Hinton's detailed book discusses each work individually and offers perspective on its importance within the larger framework of Weill's dramatic output. For the most part, these works are treated in chronological order, with a few skips made to organize them into categories, and the discussion is bookended and interspersed with considerations of Weill's aesthetics and influences, as well as accounts of the critical reactions to his efforts. Clearly directed mainly toward the scholarly community, Hinton's volume covers a tremendous amount of material, with ample footnotes for those seeking further information. Herein lie the book's strengths and weaknesses. Without doubt, Weill's Musical Theater is and will remain a cornerstone work in Weill studies: the analyses are thorough and deep. Hinton ties in important information from previous works, thus rounding out the thesis of continuity in Weill's creative career. However, the narrative line of the book frequently is upended by exhaustive investigations of tangential issues. In the first chapter, we are confronted with a long discussion of the ways in which Weill and his contemporary Paul Hindemith were composers of different viewpoints and personality types; in the following chapter, the discussion of Busoni's aesthetics overstays its welcome, particularly since by this chapter's ending the reader has traversed almost seventy pages and has yet to arrive at the topic proper. A consideration of A Kingdom for a Cow becomes bogged down in a discursion about the impact of operetta on Weill's creativity vis-à-vis the influence of the satirist Karl Kraus's obsession with Offenbach.
Hinton offers more closely focused accounts of the major collaborations with Brecht — Mahagonny, both singspiel and opera; Die Dreigroschenoper; Die Sieben Todsünden — as well as Der Silbersee, Der Weg der Verheissung and the American works such as Johnny Johnson and Lost in the Stars. In these discussions, Hinton truly enhances our understanding of the music, and of the cultural circumstances in which it was created.
While the casual reader may find the writing style challenging at times, Hinton's book is a goldmine of information. It will further burnish the composer's reputation as a key figure in dramatic music of the twentieth century.

All the scenes have been shot. In fact, Game of Thrones news site "Watchers on the Wall" said filming officially wrapped two months ago. Of course, there is still editing to be done and promotional interviews and articles to be written. But since everything has been filmed, surely HBO could give us a firm premiere date for the farewell season of their signature series.
But instead, all we've gotten is vague hints from different people with the network of a release date "sometime in 2019" with nothing concrete to hang our hopes on.
Well, HBO released a really big clue earlier this week when they put out their official season preview video for the 2018/19 television year.
Now, I know that is a fair amount of material to sift through. But the good news is we really only have to focus on three programs other than GOT in that clip: The Deuce, True Detective, and Big Little Lies.
All of these and Game of Thrones are the shows that will appear in the 9 pm eastern/8 central time slot on Sunday nights where HBO likes to place its top dramas.
And starting September 9th, "The Deuce" ( a show I've never heard of starring Kirsten Dunst and James Franco) will air its second season. That second season is nine episodes, meaning it will end on November 4th.
That brings us to the holiday season, and I don't think HBO will debut anything during the 8 remaining Sundays of 2018. But even if they did, it will not be the three remaining shows mentioned above because all three have been promised for 2019.
Now, at the end of "Sharp Objects" (a fantastic miniseries that ended this past Sunday in the 9/8 slot), HBO previewed the third season of True Detective and promised a January premiere date. So that means that True Detective must begin sometime between January 6th-January 27th.
The previous two seasons of True Detective featured 8 episodes, so let's assume they follow the same format. So after 8 episodes, it will be March, which seems to work perfectly for the premiere of Big Little Lies.
So somewhere between March 3rd-March 24th, Big Little Lies will premiere its 2nd season. It is expected to run 7 episodes (just like the first season), which will put its conclusion somewhere between April 14th-May 5th.
And unless there is something HBO is holding back, that puts Game of Thrones premiere date somewhere between April 21st and May 12th.
But I'm not going to just finish this writing with some vague time frame. I don't see any reason HBO would not start True Detective January 6th. The holidays will be over and most networks will have started their winter/spring seasons at this point.
And a January 6th start date for True Detective means Game of Thrones's final season will premiere on…..
April 21st.
Now, if HBO takes any Sundays off (like during the Super Bowl), that would obviously change the timeline. And there's also the GOT spin-off series expected sometime after GOT goes off the air. I would think HBO would want to have at least one of those series ready to preview during Game of Thrones's final season. So if there is a delay in production for any of those shows, that could influence HBO to delay season 8.
Hopefully, we'll get confirmation regarding this date sooner rather than later. But until then, stay patient while HBO milks their golden calf for all it's worth.

Bust by Eugine Guillaume, 1870
Beethoven is an inspiring figure. He lived only 56 years and wrote a huge amount of great music. He was also a virtuoso pianist. He lost his hearing when he was 30, and when he was 40 he stopped performing because his hearing was too bad. In the end he was totally deaf. He was already deaf when he wrote the 9th symphony.
Can you imagine writing music without being able to hear it ? He must have had an imagination that was more real than reality. I often think, the worst that could happen to me is to loose my eyesight, I could no longer paint. Maybe I would start to sculpt. Anyway I have outlived Beethoven already.
His funeral was attended by 20,000 people, he influenced millions.

The Modesto Bee, April 14, 2016
Sunday's Bee included an advertisement (Page 2A) picturing Rep. Jeff Denham and a concerned elderly lady on Medicare being told "you could lose access to medicines you need."
The ad thanked Denham for "protecting" Medicare Part D prescription coverage and urged readers like the woman pictured to oppose a bill in Congress that would allow Medicare to negotiate drug costs directly with pharmaceutical companies.
But such negotiations are a common cost-control method already used by the Veterans Administration, Medicaid and every industrialized nation that runs a health care system for its citizens.
Yet this bill is being fiercely fought by the pharmaceutical industry, which stands to lose considerable profits if it passes. That's what the ad is really about.
At the insistence of the pharmaceutical industry, the original 2003 Medicare Part D (drug bill) forbade Medicare to negotiate costs with drug companies. That would be a strange request from a market-driven industry. But not so strange when you realize, in the words of Republican Rep. Walter Jones of North Carolina, "The pharmaceutical lobbyists wrote the bill."
It was 1,000 pages long and voted on at 3 a.m.
Now, there is movement to eliminate this restriction on negotiations. Naturally, the pharmaceutical industry opposes this effort because, it says, negotiated prices won't make any difference in the cost of the medicines. Wrong.
Medicaid currently has the ability to negotiate prices with drug companies. For similar medications, prices are approximately 40 percent less than what Medicare recipients pay. The Wall Street Journal cited studies suggesting that if Medicare was allowed to use its heft to negotiate in the marketplace, it would save about $16 billion annually. If it will have "no effect" on prices, why the violent opposition from big pharma?
One reason the drug companies love to cite is that if Medicare drug prices are negotiated, drug research would dry up. Wrong.
Drug companies spend almost twice as much on marketing as they spend on research. Many of the scientifically innovative drugs approved from 1998 to 2007 came from universities and biotech firms, not big pharmaceutical companies.
Meanwhile, negotiating drug prices is standard procedure in industrialized countries whose medication costs are uniformly less than ours – many by half.
Drug companies also contend that competition among various commercial insurers lowers drug costs already. Wrong again.
That's the way it should work, but doesn't. A recent study showed that eight of the 10 drugs that had the big cost increases from 2013 to 1014 were made by multiple manufacturers. Expanding that to the 15 drugs with the largest price increases shows that nine were made by multiple manufacturers. With so many manufacturers from which to choose, negotiating with several companies to get the best price would certainly lower the prices – assuming capitalism still works.
Another argument is that Medicare has more medication options than the Veterans Administration or Medicaid. That's true, but irrelevant.
If 10 drugs do the same thing, why not limit the formulary to the least expensive drug? The VA formulary seeks out the least expensive choice among many drugs that have the same use and same benefit, lowering total costs to patients. There is no evidence the smaller but less expensive VA formulary alters outcomes or treatment of veterans. The same is true for those who depend on Medicaid.
If the concerned elderly lady in the ad wants to worry about something, perhaps she could focus on the growing negative influence of corporate America on our fragmented and expensive health care system.

"I was visiting with some friends from the West Coast and we had a big clam bake. Lobsters, clams, linguiça, corn. You know, all the fixings," says Lenox637. "One of my friend's daughters went into the kitchen and returned with a jar of peanut butter. I watched, horrified, I must say, as she spread the peanut butter over the corn on the cob." Lenox637 was told that peanut butter is a common corn topping on the West Coast, although few Chowhounds have heard of the phenomenon. ipsedixit's college roommate used to make sandwiches of drained canned corn and peanut butter on Texas toast. "Tried it once and it wasn't all that bad," says ipsedixit. "Sweet, savory, and crunchy. Sort of like a PB&J sandwich except you get that extra mouthfeel crunch and texture from the corn niblets instead of just the jiggly sliminess of the jelly or jam."
Peanut butter is a completely legitimate popcorn topping, says anonymouse1935. Warm the peanut butter first, says goodhealthgourmet, or "turn it into sort of a PB caramel sauce. Warm some honey or simple syrup (or for a delicious twist, maple syrup) and a dash of vanilla in a saucepan, remove from the heat, and stir in peanut butter without added sugar," suggests goodhealthgourmet. "Drizzle over freshly popped corn and toss to coat."
Discuss: Peanut Butter………… on corn?

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. (Genesis 2:17)
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. (Genesis 3:10)
Adam's fear in Genesis 3:10 was a direct consequence, an effect of, the spiritual death God warned him of in Genesis 2:17. Before that, Adam had never felt fear. He'd only known complete unity with God.
We know this because God created man "in His own likeness," (Ge 1:26) designing him to function in the same manner He (God) functioned. He then blessed man and gave him authority over the earth. Ultimately, He declared him to be "good." (Ge 1:28, 29, 31) Adam had everything he needed. God had provided it all. Nowhere in that process was fear.
Yet when Adam and Eve ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they lost their unity with God, and immediately fear entered in.
No God. Know fear.
Know God. No fear.
Fear was a result of Adam's disconnection with God's presence, and that hasn't changed. Whenever God becomes second place in my life, whenever I disconnect from Him, I find myself afraid.
However, Jesus in John 17 prayed for our final solution to fear.
Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. (John 17:20-23)
The answer to fear, the way to rid yourself of it once and for all, lies in restoring a divine spiritual connection with a loving, omnipotent God.
How do we do reunite with God? Through repentance, through time spent praying in the Holy Spirit, and through worship. Worship lifts God into the position He's supposed to have - as our ultimate Source. It places us in proper balance. It also reconnects us to the power supply of His Spirit. I walked out from under fear by keeping myself in God's Presence. In God's Presence, I found peace and joy.
The bigger God is in you, the smaller the fear will become.

Cypress Creek Montessori School is located in Cedar Park, Texas, and serves the surrounding communities in Austin, Leander, Liberty Hill, and Jonestown. Established in 2002, Cypress Creek Montessori has blossomed into the community it is today providing a safe haven for the student's home away from home in an environment that is welcoming and warm.
Our school is based on Dr. Maria Montessori's philosophy of education. We begin our program at the age of 18 months onward to the age of 6. Dr. Montessori has termed this timeframe as the sensitive period for the absorbent mind. This is the period in which the mind, memory, the power to understand, and the ability to think through impressions gained from the environment are all constructed. Through Dr. Montessori's teaching, the students at Cypress Creek Montessori develop an appreciation and eagerness for learning and a positive self esteem through the respectful guidance of the teacher.

With the fear of God (and Satan's phallus) in his heart, Donald is convinced he must be baptized as soon as possible! Syd and Celeste try their best to rescue Donald and save his immortal soul. They just didn't expected it to be this hard.

US zone
Commerce Department revised second quarter economic growth to 4.6 percent increases confidence that the economy is coming out of its torpor. Unemployment claims filed were lower than expected, putting the indicator back on levels last seen before the Great Recession. Thus we hear of the Fed openly debating when the next rise in interest rates might come. If only President Obama could free up trade, enhance tax reform and overhaul the entitlements programs, thus freeing money for infrastructure programs.
Euro zone
Brush fires created by Russia's sudden assertiveness in Ukraine, Crimea and in the Baltic States are keeping everyone on their toes. Around the area, Russian troops are in countries against the legitimate will of the governments. The EU seems unable to control the internal political dynamics. The technocrats have been overwhelmed by domestic forces. Even though, European and Ukrainian parliaments ratified Ukraine's association agreement, Russia was able to strong-arm a delay in its implementation. The Baltic States are openly worried that this weak kneed European response to aggression in Ukraine has emboldened Russia and its pugnacious leader Putin.
All 28 EU members are expecting to grow in 2015. Laggards like Italy and France struggle. The real threat is deflation but the ECB is taking decisive action to avoid a deflationary spiral. But national governments must push forward painful and unpopular structural reforms. Confidence continues to rise. Europe's skilled workforce, strong infrastructure, mature financial markets and political stability help maintain its importance and relevance in the global economy.
Asia zone
Xi Jinping is the strongest single leader in China since Mao. Is that good or bad? Depends on how he uses his power. The signs are not encouraging. China seems to hanker for a strongman who can break up the SOEs and establish the rule of law. Xi is 'talking the talk', but can he 'walk the walk' for sure?
Given the rise of a club of authoritarians, the Shanghai Co-operation Organization (SCO), a Chinese NATO, aims to be the dominate security institution in the region. Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, with India, Pakistan and Iran breathing heavily to get in, China seems to be controlling all the levers. Explicitly, the group is targeting the three evil forces of terrorism, separatism, and extremism. Each country has suffered with worsening ethnic unrest.
America's leading role in Asia is based on a plethora of inclusive multilateral organizations, membership to which China need only apply. All of China's organizations, including SCO Is that China has a big dominant role and the United States is NOT a member. China seems to be building its own world order.


text: University Of Vermont Bans Single-Use Water Bottles Joins Growing Number Of Colleges To Enact Similar Policies Jan 15, 2013 – by Counselor The University of Vermont (UVM) has become the largest public institution in the U.S. to ban sales of single-use plastic water bottles, joining a growing number of colleges that have enacted similar on-campus policies. The UVM ban went into effect yesterday, at the beginning of the school's spring semester. To encourage the use of refillable water bottles, UVM has converted many campus water fountains to bottle filling stations. Across the nation, 22 private schools have already enacted single-use water bottle bans, as students have protested the amount of fossil fuel resources needed to produce and transport the bottles. According to consumer rights group Food and Water Watch, bottled water production uses between 32 million and 54 million barrels of oil every year. Supporters of the ban argue the majority of plastic water bottles - up to 80% - are never recycled, creating excessive waste and causing harm to the environment. While colleges and universities have been most aggressive in targeting single-use plastic water bottles, some communities are taking action as well. Earlier this month, the town of Concord, MA, began enforcing a plastic water bottle ban at retail stores. First time offenders are being given warnings, but subsequent offenses are being punished by fines of up to $50. Concord first passed a single-use ban in 2010, but the Massachusetts attorney general's office rejected the action, ruling what was approved was not written as a valid bylaw. After failing to win enough votes for passage in 2011, a newly-written ban won support by a 403 to 364 margin last year. The state attorney general's office signed off on the language of the ban in September.
