Follow Presto to the alcove. Reach up out right for the fifth clip, then work up sloping rounded sidepulls and underclings until the bolt is at your feet and you realize there's no way to let go. Stare at the slot overhead, then launch a committing right-hand throw for a jam. Stick the jam or go for an exciting ride. Pull up past the last bolt onto a sloping ledge, then work some sidepulls on the left to stand up and drop the rope in the hooks.
Six bolts to a two bolt anchor with 1/2" open coldshuts.
Here is a slopefest if I have ever tried one. I thought this route was sweet. Fun moves up to the alcove (presto start) then an improbable sequence on slopers that do not want to let you hang on to them. The left hand undercling before the "hand jam" throw makes you laugh when you realize that one can actually use this hold. I thought the route had more resting opportunities than Anarchitect, but the difficulty of the crux may be equal or harder than the technical crux on Anarchitect. Great route, well worth the effort. Save this one for a cool day though, any extra "grease factor" will definitely increase the grade!
A great overhanging line with a committing and very fun crux - a must do!
"Very fun crux", aka slope-fest-from-hell...the undercling move is cool.
Great route, 12d is quuuuiiiiite a stretch, I would think 12b, especially in comparison to Anarchitect next door. But who cares, still super fun all numbers aside.
You're just burly, admit it.
Damn, sweet route! The Maestro start is fun as always, but the real gold of this route is leaving the alcove and trying to make it to the ledge. The crux has it all: power, balance, technique, and a bit of try-hard! Excited to get back to this one and give it hell.
I replaced the fourth bolt on Maestro today, it was getting rusty and had started to pull away from the wall a little bit and the hanger was spinning. Thinking it was an old 1/4" Rawl bolt, I thought I would just yank it out, drill out the hole and install a 3/8" x 3" SS Powers wedge bolt. Simple, right? Well two hours of crowbarring, hammering, and prying later had only pulled the bolt out apx. 1/4"! Not only that, but it was a 3/8" bolt, not a 1/4"! My friends on the ground thought this was hilarious, commenting that maybe the bolt didn't need to be replaced after all! I eventually admitted defeat and chopped the bolt with a hacksaw blade, drilled a new hole and patched the old one. This gave me a whole new appreciation for those who replace old hardware so we can all have a safe climbing experience. Thanks to everyone who puts in the time - and do any of you have any advice for coaxing out a stubborn bolt? I could certainly use a little wisdom thrown my way on this one, and maybe a little on patching holes, too.
VERY nice patch, Jay. Much appreciated that you took the extra time to do so. There is no reason that people need to leave exposed bolt remnants, and thank you for your time and effort doing things that not all of us have the skill, knowledge, or equipment to do. Then there is the group that has all that but is just too lazy to do the work without the reward of the FA, too.

Well, I'm a little slow on the get-go but when Gail sent me the link to the Green Circle blog this morning, I realized I have to belong to the Trash Team and to Haul My Own Garbage too. Here is what I have so far, starting from this morning and throwing in a few things from the past few days to remind me of how I could be more conscious.
I compost almost all our food scraps, and since we didn't eat any meat today there was no garbage there. We also recycle almost everything. This is what is in the bag:
- peanut can (minus the recyclable lid)
- yogurt container & lid (quart size)
- cap from half & half carton
- plastic cup from beverage at my Sunday book group (I forgot to bring a real cup)
- metal lid from glass jar
- plastic 10% off card from Staples (unsolicted!)
- plastic-lined pouch from Yogi tea bag (my favorite tea but maybe not a good option)
The rest of the Stuff of the Day went into the compost bucket (including the paper napkin from book group, a little waxed paper bag from Nori's that held bulk tumeric last week, and the crushed egg shells from the dish I made for tonight's potluck dinner) and the recycling bins (one for all the #1 and 2 plastic, waxed cartons, plastic bags, and glass and one for paper).
This evening I went to a nice little artsy awards dinner, potluck style. I took my garbage bag (see above) and wore my button (see below), and people really did ask me about my garbage. I made little slips of paper (printed on old reused paper from my mom's old, old very former job) that give the address of this blog so people could find out more about this crazy great project. Lots of takers and "right-on" type comments. Because I took my own wine glass, plate, fork, and napkin, I didn't have to add any of that debris to my bag (although a few people asked me to takes theirs!!!).

Acknowledgements: | A substantially revised and updated version of a paper presented originally to the 2nd Quantitative and Qualitative Methods in Libraries Conference, Chania, Crete, 25-28 May 2010. |
Abstract: | Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the role and relevance of external standards in demonstrating the value and impact of academic library services to their stakeholders. Design/methodology/approach – Two UK standards, Charter Mark and Customer Service Excellence, are evaluated via an exploratory case study, employing multiple data collection techniques. Methods and results of phases 1-2 of a three phase research project are outlined. Findings – Despite some limitations, standards may assist the manager in demonstrating the value, impact and quality of academic libraries in a recessional environment. Active engagement and partnership with customers is imperative if academic libraries are to be viewed as vital to their parent organisations and thus survive. Originality/value – This paper provides a systematic evaluation of the role of external accreditation standards in measuring academic library service value and impact. |

As a taciturn person, Mori only speaks when something needs to be said; his intelligence and observant nature taking in much more than many realize, making him a wise advisor to those who seek his counsel. His protective nature extends not only to his best friend and cousin, Honey, but to his friends and classmates, as well. He is extremely well-respected and well-liked by everyone who knows him; however, when tired, he can become talkative and somewhat flirtatious, which surprises those unaccustomed to this side of his personality. Mori is quite loyal and generous, especially in regards to Honey and the female host, Haruhi; this is demonstrated in his willingness to assist them in whatever they need without a second thought and without ever appearing subservient or uncertain of his individuality.In the anime episode "Mori-Senpai Has An Apprentice Candidate!", 1st-year student Ritsu Kasanoda - the 3rd-generation heir of the Kasanoda-gumi (a yakuza gang), seeks Takashi's advice on making friends because, despite his intimidating appearance, he appears to have many. In Chapter 51 of the manga, Hikaru is shown to stay the night at Mori's home; while there, Mori is shown to be rather blunt in addressing Hikaru's issues.
Mori is born under the star sign of Taurus, the Bull. The positive traits of this sign are generosity, dependability, down to earth nature, patience, independence and persistence; the negative traits being stubborness, indolence, materialism, possessiveness and frugality.
As the tallest member of the Host Club (at 6'3" or 188cm), Mori is an imposing figure that is made all the more so by his wild appearance, possessing spiky black hair, dark gray eyes and a darker skin tone than the other Hosts. He is noted to wear the typical Ouran Academy blazer unbuttoned on most occasions, and is rarely ever seen without Honey walking by his side or perching on his shoulders.Mori's rose color in the Host Club is deep blue. In Japanese culture, blue signifies loyalty; Mori demonstrates this quality when it comes to Honey, his studies, and the Host Club. In Western culture, the blue rose does not occur natually; however, in art, it signifies attainment of the impossible with a secondary meaning of prosperity. Mori's "unattainable" is Haruhi (though this is never directly stated), though he does live a prosperous life and continues to do so in the future as stated in the omake of the manga.
Morinozuka-Haninozuka FamilyEdit
The Morinozuka and Haninozuka family became related from 3 generations ago by marriage. But a long time ago before that, the Morinozuka family are known to serve the Haninozuka family. This kind of explains why Mori always look after Honey because it's on his blood to serve the Haninozuka family.
Mitsukuni "Honey" HaninozukaEdit
It's no secret that Honey and Mori are incredibly close; most scenes in which each appears are shared with the other. Honey and he are cousins by marriage and their families have a long-standing joint history. Mori is very protective of Honey and feels responsible for each thing that can (and does) go wrong for him. This can be seen when Honey gets a cavity in the episode, Honey's Bitter Three Days, wherein the loli-boy gets a cavity and must give up sweets. Mori is very strict in limiting candy and cake, but feels that he's at fault for failing to remind Honey to brush his teeth, leading him to pick a fight with Honey in order to make Honey hate him as a means of self-punishment.
Mori's supportive nature of Honey is observed in subtle references and behaviors but is best seen during the episode, The Door the Twins Opened, when Honey discovers that Tamaki has invited both of them to join the Host Club. He tells Mori that Tamaki says, "it's okay for me to like cute things" and "it's okay for me to like cake. I'm not sure what to do." When Mori replies, "Do whatever you want, Mitsukuni. It's no big deal," he shows that his loyalty lies not in family blood ties but with Honey himself. Another telling moment occurs in the manga, just before graduation, when Mori challenges Honey to a duel so he can say what's on his mind without feeling guilty for criticizing his friend. Honey agrees knowing exactly why and what's at stake. Mori wins by catching Honey in mid-air and placing him out of bounds. After winning, he pulls out a list of things that Honey is required to do in college, one of which is to not bring Usa-chan along.
Their relationship sometimes appears to be master-servant in tone, but also is seen to be egalitarian and even sibling-like with Mori behaving like an older brother.
Satoshi MorinozukaEdit
Satoshi is a manga-only character and the younger brother of Mori. Satoshi is shown to idolize his brother, whom he calls Taka-kun; however, apart from the times when Mori is tired and acts "refreshingly," he is radically different from his brooding sibling. Although Mori reciprocates the care that his younger brother shows him, he isn't afraid to correct him when Satoshi acts rudely or misbehaves.
Haruhi FujiokaEdit
Mori is hinted to have romantic feelings for Haruhi, but it is never truly explored, unlike her relationships with Kaoru and Hikaru. Regardless, there are several instances where his possible feelings show. In the first episode of the anime, when Haruhi finds herself being hugged a bit too tightly by Tamaki, she cries out to Mori for help and he runs to her aid without question. When he lifts her off the ground, he realizes that Haruhi is actually a girl and blushes.
In Jungle Pool SOS!, when Mori is heading into the woods to find Honey, Haruhi tags along. Upon seeing all the snakes and insects, she becomes spooked which provokes Mori to carry her. This is also the first time he addresses Haruhi by name, which pleases her. Later, when surrounded by members of the Black Onion Squad, one of them attempts to take Haruhi from Mori by force - a dangerous notion. Once Honey is located, he compliments Mori on his good work in protecting Haruhi and inquires whether Mori had been lonely without him. Mori, his eyes on Haruhi, replies that he wouldn't necessarily say that.
And finally, in the episode in which the Host Club boys visit Haruhi at her home, Mori gives Haruhi the strawberries from his own pastry, earning him a delighted smile while sending Tamaki and the twins into throes of despair because they didn't think of that first. Haruhi is the only character, apart from Honey, at whom Mori is shown to smile more than once. It should be also be noted that in the Ouran Highschool Host Club manga, listed under his profile, it's stated that because of Mori's nature, it was potential for the two of them to develop romantic feelings for each other.
Hikaru HitachiinEdit
Hikaru is known to respect Mori and goes to him for advice; staying over at his house in the manga two nights when he and Kaoru have a huge fight. Mori shows genuine concern for Hikaru's feelings and when Hikaru comes to him the first night, he pushes Hikaru into realizing his feelings.
- Tamaki refers to him as the "Wild" type because he tends to act on instinct.
- In Chapter 72 of the manga, he graduates from Ouran, but often returns to visit with Mitsukuni.
- He enters jurisprudence, the study and theory of law, in university, but actually becomes an educator.
- In the later chapters, he raises a chick he names Piyo and also takes in a stray tanuki.
- Unlike Mitsukuni, who is grouchy upon awakening, Takashi becomes unnaturally "refreshing" when tired, growing more talkative, approachable and friendly with everyone. This frightens most of the Hosts.
- Mori's nickname was inspired by the Tahei Mori, an ancient Japanese variation of spear.
- Takashi's character song is named, "Itsumo Soba ni."
- Takashi is shortsighted.
- In the live action drama, he is seen playing the harp, suggesting that he is an amateur musician.
- In Episode 22, "Mori-sempai Has an Apprentice Candidate," he wears a forehead protector like the ninjas in Naruto and Naruto Shippuden.
- Also in Episode 22 he, along with the others, cosplay as members of the Shinsengumi, without a specific identity. His guests speculate that he's "Yamazaki," even though he better resembles Sanosuke Harada, as he is seen with a spear; Harada known to be the best spearsman in the Shinsengumi.
- (To Honey, about Renge's burnt cookies) Don't eat that, Mitsukuni! It's bad for you.
- (To the hosts) It was my carelessness that led to Mitsukuni's cavity. I forgot to tell him to brush his teeth before napping - twice.
- (To Honey) Mitsukuni, you've got some cream.
- (To Honey, after the cupcake rant) You're making things worse. Leave them alone.
- (To Haruhi) You like strawberries, right? Here, you can have mine.
- (Several times during the series) Yeah.
- (To Haruhi) Fancy tuna.

March Madness came early to Langley as the CIA constructed a temporary basketball court in its cafeteria to raise money and awareness for the government's charity-focused Combined Federal Campaign. Director Leon Panetta sank the first shot last week in the 3-on-3 tournament—from just inside the 3-point line—setting the stage for a great contest and earning him cheers from hundreds of agency spectators, including his loyal dog Bravo. The top spy's team won handily. Some 40 teams took part, and money was raised by passing contribution baskets—what else?—among the audience.

A: You've got it all wrong, Gail. The problem is NOT that this man is five years younger than you. No way. Five years age difference isn't necessarily a big deal at all. The problem is, in fact, that you're looking for trouble in all the right places. And you'll find it, too. I wonder what's going on in your marriage that you're "pretty sure" it's going to end? But it hasn't ended yet and you're already seeking someone new, which is usually a dumb move. Rebound affairs are bad news. And surely you realize that the last person on earth you should be asking for marriage advice from is a guy at work who you're attracted to! "If you're not happy, don't stay married." What a simple-minded answer to a complicated situation. If everyone got divorced the same week they were unhappy, or even the same year, there wouldn't be many married couples left in the world. Happiness comes and goes, and then comes back again. It takes effort and caring and commitment to keep a relationship happy most of the time.
Your immediate question, though, is how to tell if he's flirting. And my answer is: it doesn't matter. So long as you're married, whatever he says to you should be taken lightly and not as a serious come-on. Men will often flirt with a married woman for fun, but when she's free, their interest turns out to be in a momentary fling only. And you don't even know if this fellow is dating someone. Talk about jumping the gun. What you need to do is get your home life settled one way or the other before lining up your next relationship.

A dark plum/ruby/purple-tinged color is followed by a sexy, up-front perfume of forest floor, damp earth, blue and red fruits and a touch of spicy oak. Lush with low acidity and sweet tannin, it appears to be a bigger version of the stunning 2008 Malescot St.-Exupery. Drink it over the next 15 or more years – it is well-worth buying by the case."

How different is the Telegraph from the Mail?
Sometimes I get a bit hand-wringy about how I constantly look at the Mail - not because there's anything wrong with singling out those evil scumbags, you understand; rather, I'm worried it's getting a wee bit too easy. Surely a 'quality' newspaper like the Telegraph won't stoop to the levels of the Mail? Surely they will analyse something like the Budget in a cool and rational journalistic way? Surely they won't attempt a cack-handed portrayal of 'war on the middle class'?
Budget 2008: Higher tax for 9 in 10 drivers
You mean to say things are going up in price? What kind of crazy alchemistic phenomenon is this? Why wasn't I informed of this witchcraft? Maybe we could think of a name for it, oh I don't know, 'inflation' seems an idea. Why on earth should road tax ever go up? Surely, despite the increased costs of everything else in the world - including public transport, rocketing up in price well above inflation - motorists should still be paying sixpence a year for the privilege of driving a car, and that should never change. What kind of fool wrote this, I wonder? A junior reporter? A work experience boy?
By Robert Winnett, Deputy Political Editor
Quite. Deputy political editor, not deputy business editor. And political is exactly what he is.
The full scale of the clampdown on middle-class motorists has become clear after it emerged that nine in 10 cars will be affected by higher rates of tax under plans announced in the Budget.
Firstly, a 'clampdown' is not just taxing people a bit more. A 'clampdown' is when you're trying to impose restrictions on someone. And by their very nature, the middle class can afford to drive in the first place - paying more for it won't restrict them as such. So why use the word, if not to create a misleading impression that the government is trying to restrict behaviour? It's not. It's just raising revenue.
Analysis shows that over the next two years, millions of motorists will face soaring bills
Bills? It's one bill a year.
as road tax on some
Some, not all. To give the impression that these 'some' represent the majority.
family models doubles.
Family models. Are these family models like the Mercedes used to illustrate 'family cars' in the Graph the other day? I imagine for a lot of Telegraph readers, that is the family motor, but please, most people can afford nothing like that.
The Treasury will net more than £1billion
Compared to what? What kind of increase is it? Not mentioned. Because a billion sounds bigger when it's not compared to a few hundred million.
from the tax grab
Tax grab! As opposed to 'tax', which is what it is. Like 'land grab', the implication is that the Treasury are taking something that isn't rightfully theirs. This is the language of George W Bush, the nonsensical 'it's your money' bullshit with which he justified scrapping inheritance tax, giving more to the rich by taking it from the poor.
And can I see your working on this 'analyis'? Ooh no, secret. Shhh.
The middle classes
Like the Mail, pluralising them. Which middle classes are these?
already face above-inflation increases on their energy bills, grocery shopping and mortgage costs
And it's this that's key. Let's look at this again. Above-inflation rises in mortgage costs...? Well like duh, how do you think banks make money? This is the deputy political editor of a national newspaper saying this as if it's something unusual. What the hell is he doing, if not to create a misleading impression? I can't believe he's ignorant.
But yes, energy bills are soaring, thanks to world prices and privatisation, the latter of which happened under a Tory government and has not been reversed under New Labour, despite a one-off punitive 'windfall tax'. Is the Telegraph urging renationalisation? I fancy not. But it is a useful stick to beat Labour with - bills are going up. Well yes, but that's due to energy prices worldwide going up, and exacerbated by privatisation.
And yes, that grocery shopping bill from M&S or Waitrose is a few pennies more for the poor lambs in the middle class(es). Yes, how we must shed a tear from them, as opposed to people in poverty, who are hit even harder. Well world food prices are rising. The poor are starving, thanks to the 'invisible hand' of the market, which is killing thousands and thousands.
Millions of people have little choice but to drive to work or school because of the poor state of public transport
And the huge cost, let's not forget the huge cost. For many, it's cheaper to drive, because public transport goes up by 10 per cent every year, whereas driving doesn't. But is this Telegraph chappie really saying a huge investment in public transport is the answer? Wouldn't we have to be - gasp - taxed for that? So what is he saying? Public transport is rubbish, so we have to drive, so please make it cheaper for those who can afford a car, leaving those too poor to afford one to be cut adrift with increasingly terrible public transport? Again, I reiterate: deputy political editor.
Pressure was rising on Alistair Darling, the chancellor, amid claims that the Treasury rushed through the new road tax system without analysing the implications.
Textbook Mail territory here - 'pressure' and 'claims' where we can't quite find evidence, yet we want to steer the reader towards a certain conclusion. So what is this writer's real problem? With tax? With poor public transport? With rising bills? Or with the Labour party not being quite as competent as a Tory government would be at doing the administration of extremely similar policies? Is this article out of genuine concern for the poor impoverished middle class(es), who supposedly suffer so much more than the poor? Or is it simply to try and portray Labour as incompetent compared to the Tories? Is it just point-scoring?
Mr Darling is already struggling to restore his political reputation
How? Who says?
after having to undo hasty changes he proposed to capital gains tax and the taxation of non-domiciles.
Tory ideas, supposedly. See, if only they'd been in charge...
A Labour insider
Oh here we go... a senior Labour insider? A real person? Or a very convenient Labour source saying exactly what Tories would like to hear?
admitted that of the two main budget measures - alcohol and motoring - the assault on drivers could prove to be the most damaging.
Did he now. He talked about an assault on drivers, did he. Not much of a bloody Labour figure, is he? Why, only a completely made up person could come up with more damaging things to say about his own party.
He said: "When you start clobbering families for driving a run-of-the-mill car
Clobbering? Really?
or people carrier then people will start to notice and that will cause us difficulties."
Blimey. No wonder this chap wants to stay anonymous!
Aha, here we go with the astroturf pressure group who can be relied upon to give the most anti-government, anti-taxation quote and analysis possible. Nice balanced article then:
The research, by the tax payers' alliance...
I switch off when I see the words tax payers' alliance, or Christian Voice, or MigrationWatch. Meaningless groups who represent no-one, yet claim to represent everyone, the mythical 'silent majority', that brilliant concoction that is as equally untrue but hard-to-disprove-due-to-not-existing as the PC Brigade.
Next we move on to a list of 'family cars' which are eligible for big tax rises. See if you can spot what's going on here.
Vauxhall Astra 2.0i 16v
Saab 93 MY2008
Ford Focus 1.6 Duratec
Citroen Xsara Picasso
Astra: £19000
Saab: £19-35000
Ford: £15000 minimum
Citroen: £11000
Are the Astra and the Saab really 'family cars'? Why did the TPA choose cars with such enormous fuck-off engines, if not to try and ramp up the figures? The whole point of the exercise - correct me if I'm wrong - was to try and get people to think about their car choices. And I think it's blindingly stupid to say no-one was warned. These changes have been taking place for years. No use pretending they haven't. Diesels and low emission cars are available - and much cheaper cars than the ones chosen by the TPA as well. But that wouldn't make the figures look quite so outlandish, would it?
Matthew Elliott of the TPA said: "Alistair Darling may have claimed high moral motives but this is just a grubby tax grab..."
So that's where the 'tax grab' idea came from: a totally unrepresentative pressure group that hates being taxed. And the deputy political editor of the Telegraph used it verbatim.
So there's the high standards of the Telegraph. So very much different from the Mail? I really don't think so. There's the same anti-Labour approach to everything, the same 'tax is theft' mentality of the rich, the same intent to claim that they're standing up for the 'middle class(es)', the same slavish devotion to nonsensical astroturf pressure groups. Just because it's in the Telegraph, it doesn't make bad journalism suddenly good.

It's worth keeping an eye on the Torygraph generally, as it appears to be morphing into a Mail clone. Particularly keep your eyes on the Simon Heffer column on a Saturday – the man's a supersized poor-hating Powellite cock of the literally largest order and the comments under the online version are, I'm pretty certain, skewed by the 'moderators'. Well, I've submitted comments which have been rewritten to sound more moderate, whereas the supporters' ones seem to have no fiddling.
The previous commenter is being cruel to poor little Simon who is only trying to live down his refusal to acknowledge the late Eric Heffer as his father.

I had told them to get any pair of silver heels they want; I'm not picky about that. However, I do know that for the ceremony it will be bit hard to hike through the sand in them. I didn't want them to be barefoot and I didn't want them to buy another pair of shoes....so I started searching for cheap strappy flat sandals they could wear for twenty minutes for the ceremony and beach pictures. You would think this would be easy.
Wrong. I couldn't find just what I wanted. Everything was too... gladiator style...or expensive...or nonexistent. I suppose that since it's fall sandals just aren't a hot item right now (I was at least expecting some good clearance sales!). I, eventually, found a website that I thought would solve the answers to my problems.
Zooshoo had some clever Facebook advertisements (of course) and low, low prices. I was excited about their selection and I was able to locate five pairs of strappy silver rhinestone-y sandals for my ladies. I even splurged and bought a pair of glitter pumps for me since everything was so...cheap (And I needed to spend $75 for free shipping).
Madden Girl's Atonee
Gosh, I love those shoes (and I also apparently love things that sparkle). Anyway, long story short.... after I placed my order....I received an email saying that my beloved glitter pumps were sold out. They refunded my money (without asking if I wanted something else in its place). Since I had free shipping, if I had wanted to re-order a different pair I would have had to totally start from scratch and pay the shipping fee. I wish they had offered another pair before crediting my card so quickly. Strike #1.
After a week or so I received my order. The box was a little small to be holding FIVE pairs of shoes...and sure enough...only four had made it to my doorstep. One pair was completely missing. I sent them an email late last night and this morning they offered me either another pair or my money back. He said that pair was also sold out...since they didn't have another pair of silver sandals in the size I needed I got my money back. I just was shocked they didn't even *tell* me that another pair of shoes in my order was sold out. Sigh. Strike #2.
Their prices are really good, but why is their inventory SO hard to manage?! I mean, really. A lot of their styles are sold out in the average sizes...so they must be doing business...and not restocking their product. They haven't received 3 strikes yet, so I would consider doing business with them again... but definitely not for large orders. Or for shoes that I need right away.
Here is what the final shoe count is -- two girls will be wearing the same shoes.

31 days of thankful, Day 28 (sorta late)
Remember how on Monday, my dearest Tommy had food poisoning?
Well, the theory was that it wasn't food poisoning, because if it was s stomach flu, I'd be sick too, since we're always together & we kiss & stuff.
Well, apparently sharing is caring, because now I'm sick!
even though it is quite redundant, as I have been thankful for being physically ok a few times, I am going to be thankful that I don't always feel like I do this evening/now morning, which is horrific. I haven't been sick like this in a LONG time, and I can't wait for it to be over, and something that doesn't happen again for YEARS!
31 Days of Thankful, Day 24
To me, it is not late, because it's still Thursday to me because I haven't gone to bed yet! Oh, you didn't know the world revolves around me? For shame!
Totally kidding.
Anyway, I am going to try to make this as short and as sweet as I possibly can, but I am not sure how that will go.
Today, I am thankful for days that I don't have time for Tumblr.
At first I felt guilty that so often, these "31 Days of Thankful" posts were coming a day late, because I felt like it made me seem irresponsible, or showed that I lacked focus, or even somehow made me seem less grateful, but these things couldn't be further from the truth. As some sort of Christmas gift to me, I found a new perspective.
Until about five minutes ago, I was wrapping presents. Last minute, yes, but that's how I do things. Right before that, I was making Tommy his Christmas present (more on that later, though not in this blog), which was clearly also last minute…
And I thought about it a minute.
Today, I didn't have time for Tumblr, and it wasn't the first time.
But every time I didn't have time for Tumblr, something else (something for which I should be and am thankful!) was what was stopping me.
Whether it was spending time with family and/or friends…
Buying or wrapping or giving gifts…
Being at school (either as a teacher or a grad student)…
Or really anything else, something amazing was going on in my life.
Cheesy, yes, but gratifying as well.
In case you haven't noticed over the last few weeks, I am a severely lucky lady.
And I feel like this is the most poorly-written blog entry ever (it sounded better in my head!), but I am also a very tired lady! And my brothers are going to wake me up soon to tell me that Santa was here, so I better go to sleep!
I am so thankful for everything!
P.S. I'd say "Merry Christmas!" but as you remember, it's still Christmas Eve right now for me! ;oP
31 Days of Thankful, Day 22 (a day late again)
How am I still a day behind? I didn't have time in the evening last night like I thought I did, I guess!
Well, anyway, a while back, my sister asked me to come in and speak to her Applied Communications class about my jobs, and yesterday was the day I came in and talked.
It's funny, because I don't know about you, but I have a hard time stopping and looking at the big picture sometimes. I am very detail-oriented, and it's very easy for me to get caught up in the details of life and lose sight of what is really going on.
It's not until I'm asked to make a power point presentation about my life as an Immersion teacher, model, and makeup artist that I realize that I am lucky to be employed, and have some pretty sweet jobs…
So today's day of gratitude is dedicated to my pretty awesome jobs - both seen through my eyes, and through the eyes of the high school students who seemed pretty interested when I was talking yesterday.

text: A Technology Roadmap for Generation IV Nuclear Energy SystemsThe technology roadmap defines and plans the necessary research and development (R&D) to support the next generation of innovative nuclear energy systems known as Generation IV. The roadmap has been an international effort of ten countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Canada, France, Japan, Republic of Korea, South Africa, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, the International Atomic Energy Agency, and the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency. Beginning in 2001, over 100 experts from these countries and international organizations began work on defining the goals for new systems, identifying many promising concepts, and evaluating them, and defining the R&D needed for the most promising systems. By the end of 2002, the work resulted in a description of the six most promising systems and their associated R&D needs. The six systems feature increased safety, improved economics for electricity production and new products such as hydrogen for transportation applications, reduced nuclear wastes for disposal, and increased proliferation resistance. In 2009, the Experts Group published an outlook on Generation IV R&D, to provide a view of what GIF members hope to achieve collectively in the period 2010-2014. |

Mix-and-match from the AroVideo archives!
USA 2000, 105 minutesDir. David MametRating: [M] Genres: Comedy
Feat. William H. Macy, Alec Baldwin, Sarah Jessica Parker, Charles Durning, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Julia Stiles, Rebecca Pidgeon
Aroview: When a harried film-crew descends upon the leafy streets of Waterford, Vermont to film a period drama, the worlds of apple-pie America and neurotic, cigar-chewing Hollywood collide.
Unleashing an array of comic types, expertly played by its cast, this is probably the best 'filmmaking' comedy since LIVING IN OBLIVION, with the ambitions of townsfolk and outsiders striking rib-tickling and often bizarre notes. Hats off again to writer/director Mamet!
