Aircastle Limited (AYR) has delivered positive earnings surprises in four out of the last five quarters, supported by its significant geographic diversification that makes it less susceptible to economic downturns in any particular region. This provider of aircraft rental and leasing services outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a remarkable 43.3% in the first-quarter 2012. With a forward P/E multiple of just 8.6, this Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) is an attractive pick for value investors.
A Robust Beginning of 2012
On May 3, Aircastle reported first quarter adjusted net earnings per share of 43 cents, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 13 cents and the year-ago earnings by a penny. Total operating revenue of $164.9 million surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5.3% and increased 4.4% year over year.
Segment wise, lease rental revenue (historically constituting 95% -99% of total revenue) was up 5.4%, reflecting synergies from new aircraft acquisitions. Other revenue was down 46.9%. First quarter EBITDA was down 2% year over year to $150.6 million, reflecting lower gain from the sale of older aircrafts along with lower maintenance revenue.
Upward Estimate Revisions
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2012 moved up 12.4% to $1.45 over the last 90 days, while it increased 4.6% to $1.58 for 2013. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2012 indicates year-over-year improvement of 9.5%, while the 2013 estimate implies a 9.4% jump.
Impressive Valuation
Aircastle's shares took a dive beginning in February 2012. However, the trend reversed in June with shares returning to a growth trajectory. Going forward, there is an untapped potential locked in the stock, evidenced by its current forward P/E multiple of 8.6 and P/B multiple of 0.6 (a P/E ratio below 15.0 and a P/B ratio under 3.0 generally indicate value).
Also, the company has other solid fundamentals, including a PEG ratio of 0.89, an 11% discount to the benchmark of 1.0 for a fairly valued stock. This implies strong future growth potential. Furthermore, Aircastle currently enjoys a dividend yield of 4.7% compared with the industry average of a meager 0.6%. The first-quarter of 2012 marked the company's 24th straight dividend paying quarter.
Therefore, in addition to a value stock in nature, Aircastle offers a lucrative growth and income opportunity.
Headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, Aircastle Limited was founded in 2004 and was formerly known as Aircastle Investment Limited. The company makes acquisitions, leasing and selling of high-utility commercial jet aircraft to passenger and cargo airlines globally. It has offices in the U.S., Ireland, and Singapore. On March 31, 2012, Aircastle had 120 passenger aircrafts and 25 freighter aircrafts, which were leased to 65 lessees located in 34 countries.

text: One of a series of Japanese films shown at Japan House in New York in 1981, the Dancer and the Warrior, filmed in 1956, is another of cinematographer Kazuo Miyagawa's successes. The story is set in a popular and well-known historical period in Japan: the end of the 12th century when the cultured Heian imperial court succumbed to the rule of a military dictatorship. By 1185, the Taira clan had lost the civil war with the Minamotos, and the Kamakura period had begun. Two brothers, the younger Yoshitsune and older Yoritomo have guided their Minamoto family to victory. Yoritomo is now the first military ruler in Japanese history, and the film shows the beginning of friction between him and his brother. To make matters worse, Yoshitsune defies his older brother by marrying a classical dancer without asking for his permission. Enraged, Yoritomo harrasses him until Yoshitsune has to flee the region, leaving his new wife behind. She bravely defies the tyrannical Yoritomo, determined not to give in to his abusive treatment. As the film approaches its end, the relationship between the brothers will have to be resolved, as well as the fate of the young wife. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Message About the Wang Center
February 28, 2013
A message to the individuals who signed a recent online petition entitled "Stony Brook University Administration: Save Asian and Asian American Programs…" and who may be considering adding their signature to this petition:
Stony Brook University is an all-inclusive campus community, where diversity is not only valued but also celebrated. The University's academic department of Asian and Asian American Studies within the College of Arts and Sciences offers a vast interdisciplinary curriculum for the study of Asian languages, cultures and societies, literature and the arts, philosophies and religions, histories and politics and more.
All Centers and Academic programs in the University's Department of Asian and Asian American Studies are vibrant, supported and fully funded. In fact, the University recently cultivated two major philanthropic donations. One will fund the "Dr. Gujavarty Family Seminar Fund in India Studies" in the Center for India Studies at Stony Brook University which will underwrite an annual seminar hosted by the Center on developing Asian Indian leaders. The other is a multimillion dollar gift to establish the "Bishembar Nath and Sheela Mattoo Professorship in India Studies" to strengthen the India Studies program in the Department of Asian and Asian American Studies at Stony Brook University and raise the profile of the University's Center for India Studies.
Based on growing interest and opportunity, it has been determined that the job of leading Asian American programming at the Charles B. Wang Center requires the attention and detail of a full-time administrative employee. A national search for the full-time position of Associate Director will soon be underway. The incumbent will devote 100 percent of his or her time to ensuring the best possible programming is delivered. All qualified candidates will be reviewed and considered on merit.
Additionally, to ensure that the needs of the Asian and Asian American community are met, the University created an Advisory Council consisting of faculty members, staff, representatives from the University Asian community and students. This Advisory Council's main function is to ensure that the Wang Center's programming matches the needs of the Asian community. The new Associate Director will work closely with this Advisory Council.
Stony Brook University looks forward to working with the future Associate Director, the Asian and Asian American Advisory Council, students and staff to ensure that the best possible programming is presented at the Charles B. Wang Center for many years to come.

Global Impact: Training for Robotic Surgeries in India
Michael Hsieh with Dr. Venkat Sripathi, a surgeon from Chennai, India |
In May 2012, two pediatric urologists from Spokane, Washington, came to Packard Children's to learn how to perform robotic surgery followed by Dr. Venkat Sripathi, a surgeon from Chennai, India.
Sripathi trained on the virtual reality simulator at Packard Children's and observed Hsieh performing two surgeries using the high-tech da Vinci Surgical System robot, "Gizmo." Once Sripathi returned to India, he performed two successful surgeries of his own using the same technology. It was the first time a robotic surgery was performed by an Indian-trained pediatric urologist in India.
"I am very grateful to Dr. Hsieh for his superb mentorship," said Sripathi. "The use of the robot for surgery in children is certain to increase by leaps and bounds in India."
Although pediatric robotic surgery is becoming more common, approximately only 24 children's hospitals across the United States have active robotic surgery programs, according to Hsieh.
"The learning curve is quite significant to adapt the robotic technology for small children who have complex congenital anomalies," he added.
The robotic technology allows surgeons to perform delicate and complex surgeries by making small surgical openings leaving the patient with smaller scars and a quicker recovery.
"It combines the dexterity and three dimensional view of open surgery with the minimum evasive nature of laparoscopic surgery," added Hsieh, who performs as many as six surgeries a month using the robot.
The robotic technology is costly, but Hsieh said different companies are beginning to develop robotic technology platforms so it will open up the market and make it more affordable for other countries.
In the meantime, Hsieh is excited to share his knowledge and promote the benefits of this developing technology.
"Being located on the Pacific Rim, we are well poised to help promote pediatric robotic surgery in Asia, as well as on the West Coast, and I'm looking forward to introducing the technology to more surgeons," said Hsieh, who will next train a Taiwanese surgeon in January.

Now here's an idea worth spreading…. TED is going to focus on education. Wow that's exciting! TED.com is the place to go for inspiration. It is the place where great minds of the world have 18 minutes to share an idea that will inspire, energize or change the world. It is a place of tremendous curiosity, power, creativity, and genius. These people love what they do. And when someone loves what they do, and has 18 minutes to share that passion with us, it can be magic.
There have been tremendously inspiring TED talks about education over the years. Now, TED is announcing TED-ED. Very exciting! Great minds working together on one topic – the one we care about the most – will certainly generate debate and energy and attention and a productive focus on education that is much needed. I can't wait to see what they come up with! Check it out: http://education.ted.com/
My four year old daughter is magic. She tells me so. She can do anything…or not, depending on how it suits her. She doesn't have to drink milk. You see, "magic girls don't have to drink milk." But she agrees to drink it. She doesn't have to sleep either…although she agrees to go to bed…usually.
She tells me she has a button…five in fact. Magic buttons. But I can't see them. They are in her bones. The first button turns her magic on. The second button turns her into a flying pony, a unicorn, a butterfly, a ladybug or a flower…"the real kind, not the fake kind." The third button turns her back. The forth button turns her into a rock star and magic "sprinkles" shoot from her entire body. Rock star sprinkles. We're not sure what the fifth button does, but we're quite sure she has one.
And I celebrate. I celebrate the creative mind that is blossoming in my home. I celebrate the confident spirit that defines who my daughter is. She knows she can be anything. She is not deterred by laws of nature or human obstacles that too often kill the dream. A recent Newsweek article presented research that stated that the correlation to lifetime creative accomplishments was more than three times stronger for childhood creativity than childhood IQ. The article goes on to say that for the first time in generations, American creativity scores are falling significantly in younger children from Kindergarten through sixth grade.
What does this mean? Why is this happening? In short, there are no conclusive answers. But there are clearly some easy places to look. More TV; more videogames; more structured school curriculum with less art, music, and physical education; less neighborhood freedom and exploration. Entertainment is being packaged FOR kids. Kids no longer have to create it. So how did we get here?
I think creativity has always been taken for granted. Although it is valued and appreciated, it has never been coveted or desired. We do not formally teach creativity. You have "it" or you don't. We assume that kids have "it"…until it leaves…and then you're a grown-up. Can this be? Is this OK?
Newsweek states that "a recent IBM poll of 1,500 CEOs identified creativity as the No.1 'leadership competency' of the future." Our world is changing. The knowledge revolution is upon us. The jobs of tomorrow will be very different than the jobs of today…and we don't even know exactly what they will be. So what to do?
Nurture the creativity of your child. Ask what ifs. Paint pictures. Dance in the kitchen. Play princess or pirate or superhero. Talk about nature and people and places and things. And most importantly, embrace the most wonderfully annoying, educational, simplistic, complex question in the world…"why?" Answer the question every time it is asked. Turn the tables on your child and ask them to take a guess at their own questions…and then fully engage yourself in the answer! Be present! Be interested! Be curious! Be a parent!
If you do…and if you are…your child's magic buttons will guarantee a very successful life journey. Here's to rock star sprinkles and an enjoyable ride.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. - The Minnesota Vikings might switch starting quarterbacks again this week.
Or they could keep the lineup the same.
Coach Leslie Frazier said Wednesday he has a starter in mind, either Josh Freeman or Christian Ponder, but that he's not ready to make an announcement. Frazier also said he's told the team who it will be but wants to wait until Friday to publicly divulge the decision.
The Vikings play Sunday at Dallas.
Matt Cassel is the only one who's won a game for the Vikings this season, with both Freeman and Ponder struggling in recent weeks. Cassel is also the most recent quarterback to start consecutive games, but Frazier has ruled him out of the picture for this week.

New Bedale shoe shop adopts local charity
2:07pm Wednesday 18th September 2013 in News
A NEW shop has marked its arrival in Bedale by adopting a local organisation as its charity of the year.
Footwear boutique Shoeberry, which has opened at 35 Market Place, will be raising money throughout the year for Dales-Care, the local charity offering a place for retired people in the community to meet and socialise.
Its first event for the charity will be an open day on Saturday, September 28, when 10 per cent of the profits from all sales will be donated to the charity.
Shoeberry's owner, Lucy Carr, said: "When I decided to open the shop in Bedale, I was very keen to work with other businesses and organisations in the community.
"I've heard so much about the brilliant work Dales-Care does for the older people in Bedale, and everyone I've spoken to there has been very welcoming and helpful. When it came to choosing a charity to support for my first year, it wasn't a hard decision to make."
The opening of the shop marks a new phase in the life of Shoeberry, which was previously based in Boroughbridge. After sustained growth, it has now become a limited company, reflecting the popularity of its fabulous yet affordable shoes.

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates -- Lionel Baker, the newest member of the West Indies Cricket Team, said he had his thinking cap on during his impressive spell against Pakistan in the opening match of the Fortune Cup Series on Wednesday. The 24-year-old – the first player from the island of Montserrat to wear West Indies colours in an official international match – also noted that he will be looking for more success during the second match on Friday.
ST. JOHN'S, Antigua -- As we prepare to host the 2008 One-Day Regional Tournament in Guyana, we cannot help but hope that the tournament will be the beginning of a new focus on raising the bar in West Indies Cricket.
The results of the One-Dayers in recent years have been mixed; we have had some good performances but we have also witnessed scores and performances that are well below the first class standards that are to be expected from Regional Tournaments.
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates -- Lionel Baker became the first cricketer from the island of Montserrat to represent the West Indies in an official international match, when he was named in the team for the first One-Day International of the Fortune Cup Series against Pakistan at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. The 24-year-old right-arm fast bowler is a former West Indies Under-19 and West Indies "A" Team player.
ST. JOHN'S, Antigua -- Effective January 1st, 2009, West Indies cricketers can be tested for drugs in and out of competition.
The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) in an official release on Tuesday explained that the measure is in keeping with the codes of the World Anti-Doping Authority (WADA), to which the International Cricket Council (ICC) is a signatory.
The WICB pointed out that all member countries of the ICC are now governed by the WADA codes.
PHILIPBURG, St. Maarten -- The Leeward Islands Masters Cricket Association (LIMCA) recently held its Annual General Meeting at the Carib Lumber Cricket Grounds, St. Maarten. The meeting was attended by representatives from the countries that make up the sub-regional grouping.

GOP did way too much bashing. To name a few; Hispanics, abortions, women, gay rights. They need to get in step with the majority of the United States of today.
We could eliminate most of this bickering if all of the "moderate" Republicans would simply switch parties and become Democrats.
Those of us who are left behind could either start building a "real" conservative party, which we might or might not give the name Republicans. After all, we are only 40% of the population. The combination of the 20% liberals and the 40% clueless who vote for the Democrat candidates are pretty much unbeatable. Our only hope would be to educate some of the clueless, who will come over to our side once they understand the difference.

Great review! My commendation!
I WISH I had seen FOD theatrically, asw ell I wish I would have been able to see several other shockumentaries theatrically but never have, alas!
Personally, I feel that FACES OF DEATH is the greatest ever and most lurid exploitation film achievement to date relative to its marketing campaign and deployment as a theatrical feature but, particularly, what a phenomenon developed via its home video distribution campaigns and that evolution, the subsequent media furor and VERY well publicized mainstream media controversy in the 1980's revolving around FACES OF DEATH film epitomizes what exploitation aspires towards and this film, in terms of its actualization as well as the singular gut punch tonality and impact of its content, is unparalleled.
Are there better shockumentaries? It's all a matter of subjectivity. There are several shockumentaries I think are absolute masterpieces and are amongst, for me, the greatest and most powerful films ever made. FACES OF DEATH is uniquely singular and occupies its own strata within that pantheon.
FACES OF DEATH more than adequately satisfies expectations and actualizes what it sets out to, even the docu-dramatized "fake" footage is often exceptionally well perpetrated and as well and most critically, the fabricated footage is consistent in tonality with the authentic and maintains the oppressive, depressive, harrowing, atmospheric, and morbid tonality that the film effectively embodies. The film really is one-of-a-kind and uncanny.
Then the strategic, highly profitable marketing campaign converging itself with the new and burgeoning home video rental phenomena and the subsequent media circus and controversy all comprise exploitation legendary status actuation and deserve merit based upon such alone!
Ultimately, it is a very skillfully made documentary/shockumentary film that ensconces an emotional experiential dynamic intrinsic to these types of bodycentric/body i.d. fixated death phobia excursions that manifest in various ways, is often tapped into and used by mass and control media to manipulate mass sensibilities and behavior as well.
FACES OF DEATH really works in its own right as a straight horror film, its tonality of lugubrious moribund atmosphere is very well sustained and it often feels like a morbid, charnel house version/extension of certain episodes of the great Alan Landsburg 70's cult speculative documentary tv series IN SEARCH OF, which was hosted by Leonard Nimoy.
The 6 minute L.A. County Coroner's office visit is breathtaking and singularly harrowing, elegiac and even beautiful, though disquieting as it is meant to be........
I understand that these types of films, even if in some instances certain footage is clearly staged/fraudulent, within their obsessive focus upon morbidity and mortality, make them difficult and problematic entertainment experiences for many and very negative emotional reactions at this primal level often significantly but unduly tinge and affect critical assay of the films.
The original (and often ironically cruel in counterpoint to the images it underscores) musical score by Gene Kauer deserves mention and is fantastic!
Wish I still had the old original issue GORGON vhs with its first art work, another thing lost over the years, like many other vhs I owned....lol.....That lurid illustration collage of images from the film was always my favorite!

Do the Aluminum iMac models have PCI slots or expansion bays?
No Aluminum iMac models have PCI slots. Officially, no Aluminum iMac models have an extra expansion bay either (no formal bays beyond those occupied by the hard drive and optical drive by default). If expansion is a top priority, and cost is a factor, you might be better served with a used model from the Mac Pro or Power Macintosh G5 series.
However, as first noted by site sponsor OWC, the 27-Inch "Mid-2010" models -- the iMac "Core i3" 3.2 27" and "Core i5" 2.8 27" -- have an extra 3 Gb/s Serial ATA connector and power for an optional SSD, but if one is not installed at the time the system is purchased the connector cables and mounting bracket are not present. Consequently, this isn't really an expansion bay per se but it is possible to install a 2.5" SSD in addition to the hard drive if an SSD is not installed initially it's just a bit of a "hack."
Likewise, all "Mid-2011" models -- the iMac "Core i5" 2.5 21.5", "Core i5" 2.7 21.5", "Core i7" 2.8 21.5", "Core i5" 2.7 27", "Core i5" 3.1 27" and "Core i7" 3.4 27" -- have an extra 6 Gb/s Serial ATA connector and power for an optional SSD that can be considered an expansion bay as well.
It is assumed that the education-only iMac "Core i3" 3.1 21.5-Inch (Late 2011) does not have this effective "drive bay" for a 2.5" SSD, but this is speculative. If you have additional information, please share.
What are the capabilities of the optical drive provided by the Aluminum iMac models?
All Aluminum iMac models have a slot-loading 8X dual-layer "SuperDrive" -- capable of burning double-layer DVDs at 4X and single-layer DVDs at 8X. The drive can burn CD-R at 24X and CD-RW at 16X as well.
Do the Aluminum iMac models support dual displays? What is the maximum resolution for an external display?
All Aluminum iMac models support at least dual displays.
Apple reports that the "Original" and "Early 2008" Aluminum iMac models are capable of supporting digital resolutions up to 1920x1200 and analog resolutions up to 2045x1536 on an external display while simultaneously driving the internal display at its native resolution.
The "Early 2009," "Late 2009," "Mid-2010" and 21.5-Inch "Mid-2011" and "Late 2011" Aluminum iMac models are capable of simultaneously driving the internal display and up to a 30-inch external display (2560x1600). The 27-Inch "Mid-2011" models are capable of driving three displays -- two external displays up to 30-inches (2560x1600 each) in addition to the internal display.
Do the Aluminum iMac models support 802.11n?
Yes. Apple's specifications formally note that the systems provide "built-in AirPort Extreme wireless networking (802.11n)." As first discovered by HardMac, the current "Mid-2011" Aluminum iMac models can support even faster 450 Mbit/second 802.11n using the MIMO wireless standard.
For the wireless capabilities of all "recent" Macs (G3 and later), please refer to the AirPort Capability page from EveryMac.com's By Capability Mac specs listing.
Also see: What is is 802.11n? How is it different from 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11a?

Ice conditions unsafe on parts of Winnipesaukee
Fish and Game is urging those heading out onto the ice to exercise caution as they do so. A large number of anglers are expected to head out onto the state's lakes and ponds this weekend to participate in the Meredith Rotary Ice Fishing Derby. A recent aerial survey of Lake Winnipesaukee by the N.H. Civil Air Patrol revealed treacherous ice conditions on some parts of the big lake, including an area of open water near Welch Island.
"Caution is in order for those going out onto the ice, especially on the large lakes," said Fish and Game Lt. James Goss. "Don't let the cold temperatures fool you - some areas that have traditionally been safe for ice anglers and other outdoor recreationists are not safe this year. We are urging people to check the ice thickness for yourself before you go out onto any frozen waterbody."
Because of the unpredictable ice conditions, it is not advisable to drive vehicles onto the ice, Goss said.

Kevin Youkilis hit a game-ending RBI single in the bottom of the 10th inning to lift the Chicago White Sox to a 5-4 win over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night.
In the 10th inning, Alejandro De Aza, who fouled a ball off his right knee during the at-bat, led off the inning with a walk against Rangers reliever Mike Adams (1-3) then stole second. On the ninth pitch, Youkilis ended the game with an RBI single to score De Aza and prompting the crowd to "Youk", who was acquired in a trade from the Red Sox on June 24.
Josh Hamilton homered for the Rangers, who had won their previous seven series.
Addison Reed (2-1) pitched a scoreless 10th inning to earn the win for the White Sox.
White Sox use extra innings to beat Rangers 5-4

Graphite drawings on Arches mounted on square plastic salad plates, held in a plastic file holder, with japanese and standard vellum, mi teintes, digitally manipulated images and inkjet text. 8.25 x 10.2 x 6.5 inches. 6 "volumes" (plates) plus 6 two-page books. One of a kind.
Artist Statement
The artist's book, "a table for four", is the celebration of oral tradition. In our family, the dissemination of "history", the stories of courage and strength, is not through books or carefully recorded documents but around the kitchen table, when the women tell stories while sipping their tea.
As homage to these story-keepers, the work is presented as plates in a rack, each one of the six plates is a volume; one for each decade in the life of the table. Each plate has a different drawing and, on the back, a pouch of translucent paper as fine as the skin of the women whose stories are there. Within each pouch is a mini-book of digitally-manipulated images and narrative text. The combining of current technology with traditional art techniques is to visually connect past and present in the same way the "table for four" physically connects us, a symbol of continuity between generations.
Men call it his-story, for that's how they see it.
We call it stories, and tell them with tea.
All images and text copyright the artist. All rights reserved.

"Why Do You Worry?"
August 29, 2012
I saw this thought-provoking message on the back of a T-shirt.
Listen to this message on your audio player.
"Why Do You Worry?"
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!
A phrase we use in chaplaincy but it's true in any type of ministry where care is extended to others: "You're either in the midst of a problem, just coming out of one or going into another!" That being the case, most people are well acquainted with worry. One description I read is that "worry is thoughts, images and emotions of a negative nature in which mental attempts are made to avoid anticipated potential threats". Once we acquire the habit of worrying it is very difficult to stop.
Essentially worry is mistrust. We're acting as though God isn't big enough to handle our problems. "Why do you worry?" is a heart probing question that Jesus asks and then answers later in the context of a rebuke, "O you of little faith".
Worry is an ancient human condition. It seems that people have always had something to worry about so Jesus addressed the matter head-on in His "Sermon on the Mount". It's a good portion to memorize and I've preached on it several times. But today let's consider the phrase, "Each day has enough trouble of its own."
What an honest assessment of life from our Lord and perhaps a bit of humor as well. Every day does have some trouble, doesn't it. Certainly some days more than others so we can be thankful for the less troublesome days. If we're not presently undergoing troubles in our own lives, it's sure to be present in those we care about. And if your circle of association is small, merely watch the news where we see trouble circling the globe, yet made very personal in those undergoing its discomfort.
A recurring theme throughout Scripture is that believers are to live one day at a time. God calls us to trust in Him day by day, moment by moment. He encourages us not to look ahead to "possible" troubles, but to realize His grace is here for us at this moment, this hour.
We can't store up grace any more than the Israelites were permitted to store up God's daily provision of manna in the wilderness. God chose to deliver fresh manna daily and He chooses to provide fresh grace daily as the need arises. Jeremiah spoke of the mercies of the Lord that are "new every morning". So, if you have a new trial you will also experience a new mercy from God to undergird you and guide your response to the challenge at hand. His loving care is steadfast and sure. You can rely on that today, tomorrow and always.
How I proved Him o'er and o'er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
O for grace to trust Him more."
Be encouraged today,
Stephen & Brooksyne Weber
Daily prayer: Father, You are the Great Provider who meets all our needs. There is nothing we lack when we commit our ways to You and ask You to provide for us. You know what we have need of before we ask it, but You are pleased that we bring it to You and acknowledge You to be the One who provides for all our natural, physical, and spiritual needs. When our hearts are secure, we will have no fear, for in the end we will look in triumph on our foes. That's because we serve You, our faithful, caring, and generous God, who faithfully watches over us providing us with Your daily mercies. We thank You as we pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
One of our favorite fresh fruits is the peach and there's just nothing like biting into a sweet juicy peach!
We headed over to our friend Nelson Heisey's large peach orchard for fresh peaches. He was pleased to get his gator and drive me out to see the fruit-filled trees.
The trees are well laden with low hanging fruit.
Nelson sells his produce along the road using a self service honor system. He has a good reputation and these peaches will quickly be gone.
Lancaster County peaches
This year apart from enjoying fresh peaches Brooksyne canned peaches for pie filling and peach jam.
Last night Brooksyne made a sumptuous southern peach cobbler which took us back in memory to our years of living in Missouri and Oklahoma when peach and blackberry cobbler were favorite desserts especially in the summer months. (See below for recipe)
For anyone interested we shared a more complete set of photos from last year's peach prep here.

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup Crisco
1/3 cup ice water
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt and Crisco.
Mix until crumbly, add water and mix well.
On a floured surface, knead the mixture several times for about 3 minutes.
Cut mixture in half, form into two flat discs, cover with plastic wrap, and chill.
4 pounds fresh peaches (about 7 to 8 large peaches)
2 cups sugar (or less according to sweetness of peaches)
4 tablespoons flour or clear jell*
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
1/2 cup butter, divided.
Preheat oven to 350. Peel and slice peaches.
Toss peaches into large saucepan. Add sugar, flour, spices and ¼ C. butter.
Simmer for 7 minutes or till juice is thickened; remove from heat to cool.
Add vanilla or almond extract.
Remove dough from fridge and roll out one crust on a floured surface into a rectangle.
Place in a greased 11×9 baking dish.
Pour filling over the crust.
Roll out second disc on floured surface and cut into strips.
Place strips in lattice pattern on top of peach mixture.
Dab remaining softened butter on crust strips with a brush.
Sprinkle buttered lattice with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Coarse sugar gives a nice finished look.
Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden brown.
Cool for about 10 minutes so crust will set.
*Clear Jell (or Thermoflo used interchangeably) is a modified food starch used in pie fillings and as a thickener, available in many bulk food stores. Its texture is superior to flour or cornstarch (in my opinion). I use it in canning and often in cooking. Make sure you purchase clear jell not dutch jell that is used for making jams and jellies.

Support Save the ChildrenYou can help make a difference by supporting all the work that Save the Children does to help children in need in the U.S. and around the world. Humanitarian CrisisThe population of the Central African Republic (CAR), 4.6 million people, is affected by a severe humanitarian crisis following a coup and subsequent political instability. This forgotten political crisis threatens to destabilize the whole of Central Africa. In the NewsPress Release: Children Suffering Severe Injuries From Violence in The Central African Republic. Read More The Impact
Save the Children's ResponseSave the Children is calling to improve access for humanitarian agencies throughout the country, especially in rural areas. Improved security is also vital to enable the most basic services to be restored, such as the reopening of schools and health clinics. We have also called on the international community to increase funding for aid, with the UN estimating that CAR needs about $130 million worth of aid but has only received donations to cover 43% of that figure.

My Spring Bucket List
March 27, 2012 • 6:00 am
You may remember the creepy cocktail I sipped on last year in order to check one crazy activity off of my bucket list, and while I'm still working off of my lifetime bucket list, I thought it would be fun to break my list down to different seasons so I can make sure I tackle my wild adventures in a timely manner.
So here's my bucket list for this spring! I already got one of the things on my bucket list down when I decided to jump in the lake in my skivvies a couple of weekends ago:
Here's the rest of my Spring Bucket List:
- Plant a peach tree on my patio
- Snuggle with my soon-to-be niece or nephew
- Wine tour with my Kelowna besties
- Take a nap outside on a crisp sunny day
- Clean out my closet and donate to good will
- Get a microdermabrasion :)
- Probably jump in the lake again – if someone dares me!
What's on YOUR Spring Bucket List? Let me know in the comments! I'll keep you guys updated as I continue to check things off of mine…

Neither in real life nor in reel life.
That's the conclusion I reached after watching my first two episodes of The Secret Life of the American Teenager, an ABC Family drama series that airs on the Universal Channel in Bangkok. I've seen tons of teen TV dramas over the years, from the early seasons of Beverly Hills 90210 to My So-Called Life to 7th Heaven to The O.C. to Gossip Girl to the new 90210 to Glee (I'm proud to admit, I've never seen a single episode of The Hills or Laguna Beach, which is reel life parading around as real life), so I wasn't surprised that the high schoolers are more uniformly attractive than they ever are in real life.
But in what universe are the parents just as good-looking as the kids? Well, I guess the adults have been climbing the looks ladder since the days of The O.C., and I could be simply showing my age here, but on American Teenager, some of the actors playing the parents are even more f**kable than the twentysomethings playing the teens. Molly Ringwald and Josie Bissett both look like hardly no time has passed since the late '80s and the '90s, respectively. 40 is more like the new 25!
That would make me just about the right age to wanna be starting somethin' with Daren Kagasoff, the 24-year-old actor who plays Ricky, the resident bad boy who is preppy-looking enough to be in the National Honor Society. From what I've seen so far, he seems like a pretty decent guy, but we know he's the Dylan or Ryan or Puck or Chuck Bass of these proceedings because he's super-hunky, he has a dysfunctional family, and he sleeps around.
Which is how he ended up being baby daddy to Amy, played by Shailene Woodley (with Ringwald, above), who, from what I've heard, is on the verge of getting an Oscar nomination for playing George Clooney's daughter in The Descendants. (Poor My So-Called Life's Claire Danes, who, after a so-so big-screen run, is back on series TV and, for now, must make do with her 2010 Emmy for Temple Grandin.)
But wait, they're not the only baby daddy and the girl he knocked up! There's also Ben and Adrian, who were still expectant in the season three episodes I saw (the show is now in its fourth season -- everything is behind in Bangkok, with cancelled shows like The Defenders and Hawthorne still premiering "brand new" episodes), but thanks to Wikipedia's season summaries, I know that things won't end as well for them as they did for Ricky and Amy.
While the soapy action has drawn me in, as soapy action usually does, I kept getting distracted by how high school has gotten so, well, soapy, though there's less unrealistic intrigue on American Teenager than on Gossip Girl, which seems to exist in a galaxy far far away where teenagers act like Joan Collins and J.R. Ewing. Maybe there was far juicier stuff going on behind the scenes back in my day than I was aware of, but if I were a student on TV today, I wouldn't want to miss a single day of school.
If there had been so much high drama unfolding in the hallway between classes, I probably would have spent more time in detention for chronic tardiness. Every high school drama worth its weight in teen angst has a pregnancy storyline, but in American Teenager, we get not one but two. Yes, there were teen pregnancies in my high school but not involving two couples who would have been guaranteed a spot on Homecoming Court in any given year.
And I'm pretty sure that even back then horndogs were perfecting their craft in high school, but when Adrian devised a plan to humiliate Amy by gathering all of the girls Ricky has slept with in one spot, I was shocked by how many hot girls in love he'd managed to lure between his sheets and how many of them were willing to publicly admit it. In my high school era, no girl would have done that. Apparently, he freely and casually drops the L word, too. What a bad boy.
Maybe Ricky's actually a good guy who just happens to like sex and falls in love easily. I haven't seen enough episodes to know for sure, and I'm a little off my game, so it's harder for me to spot a cad in reel and real life. Though some might characterize me as something of a cad myself, I was a late bloomer, so I know I can't use my actions back then to gauge the average behavior of my peers.
In high school, I was more concerned with graduating with honors (and a scholarship) than getting laid, and I never uttered those three magical words until I was 23 years old, which is one year older than my last boyfriend! But as unfathomable (and possibly misunderstood) as Ricky is, I'm having a tougher time buying a storyline in which a teen mom can be victimized by the common knowledge that her boyfriend and the father of her kid has had sex with a lot of girls and told them all that he loves them. At least he's in touch with his feelings. That should count for something, right? And surely a teen mom has more pressing concerns, even if her hot dad is helping her bring up baby.
As appealing as the younger actors are (and Shailene Woodley makes me even more determined to track down a bootleg DVD copy of The Descendents on Silom Road one of these nights since God only knows when and if it will open in Bangkok), as is almost always the case with high school TV dramas, even back when the parents weren't so hot, I wanted to see more of the grown folks. Why? Because, well, in reel life as in real life, 40 year olds are generally more interesting than people half their age. (If only more of them would ask me out! The average age of the guys who pursue me seems to drop one year with every year I gain.)
You can cast as many beautiful twentysomething guys to play bad boy teens as you want, but I'll always prefer to see more Josie Bissett and Molly Ringwald!

Whereas most historians and commentators have thought of the history of Hungarian philosophy as a history of the reception of Western ideas, a new book by Tamas Demeter sets out to identify a distinctively 'Hungarian' strand within twentieth-century philosophy in Hungary. What gives Hungarian thought its distinctive flavour, Demeter argues, is a keen awareness that many of the most pressing philosophical problems are deeply connected to problem of society and sociality. So thoroughgoing is this strand that one might plausible speak of 'Hungarian sociologism' (by analogy with 'German idealism' and 'British idealism'). As reviewer Akos Sivado argues, the book succeeds in establishing "a framework that provides the interpretational basis for a coherent narrative of twentieth-century intellectual life" in Hungary and, as such, contributes to a continuation of the very tradition it identifies.
The general capacity to feel pain is part of being human, yet it is subject to a number of seeming paradoxes. For one, we alone must endure the pain in our own bodies, yet we readily observe pain in others and expect that they suffer from it as we do. Furthermore, while we fear pain and condemn those who wantonly inflict it, violence in all its forms and meanings fascinates us. It is these, and other, paradoxes that Arne Johan Vetlesen, professor of philosophy at the University of Oslo, discusses in his recent book 'A Philosophy of Pain'. The diversity of phenomena and contexts through which pain manifests itself inevitably leads to a certain degree of eclecticism. The result, writes reviewer Chuanfei Chin, is less an analysis of pain and a model of its 'circulation' in society, but a more or less loosely woven tapestry of observations — one that may not be strong enough to bear the weight of the author's ambitious project, but one whose patterns nonetheless stimulate the reader.
With the ambitious title of his most recent book, "Nietzsche, Psychology and First Philosophy", Robert B. Pippin is setting himself a formidable task: to evaluate, and contribute to, one of the core debates that have surrounded Nietzsche's oeuvre from the very beginning. Yet, writes reviewer Kristof Fenyvesi, while Pippin's status as a major Nietzsche scholar is undoubted, there simply aren't enough new ideas in this slim volume to fulfill the promise of its title. If there were only a handful of analyses on Nietzsche and psychology, and if Pippin had not previously published nearly every important thought contained in this book, then this little volume would certainly have the charm of novelty. However, as things stand it is simply too short for a monographic survey of Nietzsche's relation to psychology, and too long to serve as a useful introduction or commentary.
In his recent book 'Rage and Time' (originally published as 'Zorn und Zeit' in 2006), Peter Sloterdijk, best-known to the English-speaking world for his 'Critique of Cynical Reason', published in the 1980s, tells a compelling story of the mediations, exploitations, and translations of rage through, and into, the great religious and political 'cosmologies' of Western civilisation. 'Rage and Time', according to reviewer Francisco Klauser, is a powerfully written book about the sociopolitical ordering, coding, and accumulation of rage; a book which, in sum, acknowledges and investigates the role of rage as one of the driving forces of human history. However, while Sloterdijk's narrative is rich in suggestive power, his analysis of the upcoming sociopolitical challenges in the 21st century remains essentially incomplete — the future of rage has yet to unfold.
Martha Nussbaum, in her latest book, warns of a world in which "the humanistic aspects of science and social science — the imaginative, creative aspects of rigorous critical thought" are being lost. Instead of surrendering to "thin market norms" and the demands of the labour market, education must rediscover its goal of creating citizens who are both compassionate and capable of critical thinking. While the impetus behind such demands is laudable, it would be irresponsible — writes reviewer Stephen John — to ignore the shortcomings of Nussbaum's book in the name of political expediency. Too often she succumbs to hasty overgeneralization, lumping together different trends and developments and, in the process, overlooking sources of political agreement and convergence. While the book's message is important, it fails in its ambition to map out the future shape of education.
Is it possible for a human being to act in a truly disinterested manner? Do disinterested actions have a psychological unity or are they the mere product of circumstances? Is disinterestedness an individual or a collective phenomenon? These are the questions that Jon Elster tackles in the first volume of a trilogy dedicated to a thorough critique of classical conceptions of Homo Economicus. But, asks reviewer Gloria Origgi in light of Elster's taxonomy of forms of disinterestedness, if so many different motivations may underlie the phenomenon of disinterestedness, are we still talking about one and the same thing?

I have known and have wanted to go to an early morning balloon event for several years now. Last year we went to and evening where the balloons were inflated at night. It was a great event I didn't come away with any images to speak of but it was an adventure.
This year I checked the weather I made a note in my calendar of the event and when all the things lined up we planned to go. The event is a fair distance away which meant that in order to get there and make good photographs we had to get up around 5am. We got up, we made our way to the event in arrived just in time.
It was a beautiful morning, the steam was coming up off the lake. Swans were swimming and the lake is rich with birds.
Here you can see one or two of the photographs made of the event.

How to Apply for a Job when there's no Recruitment (Accepting CV's?)
This is undoubtedly the very first thing you will think about immediately after you complete higher learning. Locally we typically hear individuals broaching 'dropping my CVs' or 'tarmac king' and you may believe this is just typical amongst initial time job seekers but stand by till you acquire your first job, you will definitely realize that this is usual field practice. Whether you work or don't, this post is suggested for you. While trying to find a job you might wish to provide your CV to a pal or two that function in a certain provider that you desire to help. So are you trying to find a profession or job possibility? Is the profession of your dreams eluding you?
Job Searching or Career Change?
Such a circumstance might arise if you are without a job at the second. It could also be that situations at your current job are driving you mad, and you just cannot await a profession change. People in such phases of their profession frequently have the notion that the more projects they get, the far better are their possibilities of success in their job search. There is a catch: is it worth applying to companies who are not sponsoring at the moment? It is a concern that plagues numerous desperate job hunters.
Exactly how do you do your job hunting? Are you examining the documents for vacancies? Are you looking at job internet sites for vacancies? Are you utilizing profession organizations? Are you going down CVs in business that do not even have jobs promoted?
Allow me inform you that most providers do NOT advertise tasks frequently since they can market via the intranet for recruitment from within.
What large employers do is to sponsor graduates like clerks and then absorb them when vacancies arise. This has in itself conveniences to HR managers and Cost Accountants of the company since their tasks and budgets are reduced. Enable me offer you an example of CFC where if you drop your CV to the HR, they may provide you an internship in divisions like claims processing as you await a long-term in-take.
This might not be the case for everybody but at the very least I provide you a company that I understand that practices that. This may also be applicable to Chartis (previous AIG) where I don't know if they ceased.
In business technique there is something called targets. In job searching we have the very same, listing all those employers that fall in the market you are interested in. Receive their bodily addresses of all of them and do research regarding them. Gathering the appropriate job info is of utmost value before dropping off your résumé to an organization that has actually not promoted their hiring strategies. The first step to take in your job search is to recognize for certain whether they are truly employing or not. May be the company is planning to enroll individuals, however is yet to advertise?
It is suggested to discover straight up if any type of positions are offered prior to you actually provide your job application. If you enquire at a neighborhood company pertaining to employment and obtain a negative feedback, it might not be a bright idea to apply anyhow, particularly if you provided your title. It would certainly be a wrong job planning action as it creates an impression that you are either inattentive, or you can not take no for a response.
Companies in some business are in fact needed to keep all resumes and applications they receive for a year or so. It would certainly be a great idea to observe up with the company simply to guarantee your career preparing actions are still on monitor. The reality that many employers have to keep job applications for a year is a wonderful thing for those uploading resumes.
The disadvantage of the entire exercise is the time lag between your application as well as the provider's recruitment need. If your forced application is actively considered state 6 months later, chances are that it is a little also late for your job improvement because you could have currently acquired a job. If this is the circumstance, the entire process of putting on companies that are not choosing now becomes unproductive.
In a nutshell, job progression by means of required application calls for a great balancing action in between go-getting and care. You need to deal with any kind of turn-down with the utmost tact. If you are told that the provider is not sponsoring now or in the around future, it is ideally to move on to greener meadows. Firmly insisting that a prospective employer retains your résumé for future reference when they are apparently not fascinated will just provide you a bad label.
Your job search ventures should by no ways end up harming your overall profession planning. It is ultimately your decision whether to put on a company that isn't selecting at existing, and you should make use of that discernment well.
All stated and done, we at HCC want you an excellent job hunting workout.
Locally we ordinarily hear individuals speaking of 'dropping my CVs' or 'tarmac master' and you may believe this is only typical among very first time job candidates yet hang around till you receive your first job, you will certainly realize that this is typical market method. Are you looking for a profession or job possibility? It might additionally be that circumstances at your current job are driving you mad, and also you simply can not hang around for a job modification. Individuals in such stages of their job often have the concept that the more tasks they use for, the better are their chances of success in their job search. If your obliged application is definitely looked at claim six months later on, possibilities are that it is a little also late for your job advancement since you may have already obtained a job.

Magpies wary of emotional overload
It is the greatest intangible in sport. So how emotion affects Collingwood the day after the funeral of much-loved former teammate John McCarthy will be key to whether the Magpies move into the AFL grand final.
Collingwood players attended McCarthy's funeral in Sorrento on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula on Thursday en masse.
The majority arrived together in a bus, then departed following the two-hour mass for a two-hour bus ride to Melbourne Airport and a flight to Sydney.
There they will face the Swans in a preliminary final on Friday night after four days' training shoehorned into three, and just a six-day break since winning their semi-final against West Coast.
Such an outpouring of emotion can work one way or the other – and Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley is well aware of that.
"The fact is you can't assure it (that the players will be able to overcome Thursday's emotion)," Buckley told Melbourne radio station Sport 927.
"The only thing we've got to go on is the players finding the right emotional and mental levels last week (to beat West Coast).
"The challenges of today draw us closer than anything else.
"People have questioned whether it's the best preparation.
"But I think if you didn't honour a mate of yours and you weren't able to go and pay your respects, in many ways you're undermining the very thing that's going to give you a chance of winning finals and that's the bond between mates."
Several Collingwood players have admitted it could be advantageous to be playing outside Victoria to temporarily set aside their grief since McCarthy's death in a fall from a Las Vegas building nearly a fortnight ago.
The Magpies also have an excellent record when travelling – and they also have an 11-match winning streak against Sydney.
"I don't think there's any secret formula to what we do (travelling) – we just go over there," Collingwood ruckman Darren Jolly said earlier this week.
"Getting out of Melbourne, whether it makes us a bit closer game day – but our record away from Melbourne's pretty good.
"The funeral will be an emotional time for the boys, then we get to go away and spend some time with each other, and take it in to Friday."

Unchanged England bowl first
11:28am Saturday 14th September 2013 in National Sport News © Press Association 2013
England again named an unchanged team as they seek to fight back against Australia in the NatWest Series.
The hosts, 1-0 down with two to play, chose to bowl first on a sunny morning but after heavy rain on Friday night at the SWALEC Stadium.
Australia made just one change, bringing in Nathan Coulter-Nile for his one-day international debut in a like-for-like swap for his fellow seamer Josh Hazlewood.

Social Snaps: 'Step Into Spring' at Topshop Topman Melbourne
Held last night at the Chapel Street store.
Last night, Topshop Topman celebrated Spring at its Melbourne store — and why the hell not? It is, after all, one of the better seasons. Guests had a first look at the new season racing collection, just in time for the Spring Racing Carnival. Fittingly for this theme, there was plenty of alcohol (pink lemonade cocktails, Dal Zotto prosecco and whiskey sours) and headwear, with guests each receiving a Lana Del Rey-worthy floral crown.
Topshop Topman Melbourne is located at The Jam Factory, 500 Chapel Street, South Yarra.

Ben avoided his death by not coming home that night. I stalked around the house like a caged panther for a good hour before I decided that I was tired of the post workout grime. When I walked out of the bathroom an hour later I felt like a new woman and the "new woman" demanded sleep. She was dead tired for some reason, which was pretty pathetic considering she had pretty much lazed around the house until Zumba.
It took the fact that I was referring to myself in the third person for me to decide that it was time to hit the sack. Determined to let Ben keep the master bedroom, I laid down on the guest bed. After all, it was his house and it only seemed right.
As I laid there staring up at a ceiling I couldn't see in the silent, pitch black room, I found myself thinking of Alex and our extremely short interlude at the studio. Just the thought of his name made sleep, which had been so adamant in claiming me, abandon me in favor of doing what seemed to be my newest favorite hobby: Overthinking things.
The question that nagged at my thoughts was: What exactly had Ben done to make things worse?
Because things definitely felt like they'd taken a turn for the worse.
Alex and I should've had a laugh over Ben writing something as childish as "Ben wuz here" on the back of my neck. We used to laugh about stuff like that all the time.
As a matter of fact, now that I thought about it, it explained why the two blondes that always liked to give me a hard time were sniggering together in the back while they looked at me with their judgmental eyes… not that that was important or even relevant.
That led me to question number two. Why had something so simple felt so… complicated?
The factors of our situation were pretty clear cut. Alex, Ben and I had spent our early childhood together. Ben had moved. Alex and I had grown closer. Ben moved back. I slept with Alex. We regretted it. I moved in with Ben and didn't tell Alex.
Why didn't I tell Alex?
That was the real question. Was it because every time Ben was involved it drove Alex and me closer? Why did that make me feel uneasy? You couldn't get any closer than bumping uglies and I wasn't too proud to say, "Been there, literally done that." Or was I uneasy because we couldn't possibly get any closer which meant the only direction left to move was apart?
The more questions I asked, the more frustrated I became because none of them were getting answered.
I don't know when my eyes shut or when sleep finally came to relieve me from my self-inflicted torment, but when it did, it reeked of irony. The tables had been turned, and I officially understood what Alex meant when he said not even his dreams allowed him to escape me.
I watched the orange colored moving truck turn off of our street and onto the main road, too shocked that he was actually gone to move. It wasn't until a horn honked at me that I realized that I was still standing in the street staring after a vehicle that I knew would never grace our street again. Tears pricked my eyes and I rushed back inside my grandmother's house, past my little sister's play pen and into my room, where I closed the door fearful that someone would see me cry.
As I stared at Ben's sloppily written apology card, the words kept blurring. I blinked furiously, refusing to let the tears fall. I was more or less successful in keeping them at bay until Alex came over later that evening. His face seemed so forlorn and the carefully constructed dam that I'd built cracked.
At first the tears had started slowly. They ran like little rivers down my face, but after a while, I stopped trying to stop them and just let them come. We clung to each other with him whispering to me in Spanish. I hadn't learned to speak it yet, since I didn't share his Hispanic heritage, but the words I didn't understand somehow soothed me just the same.
Maybe if I had only been crying because Ben had left me, I would've recovered fairly easily, but the truth of it was that I wasn't. Yes, I was crying because he left me, but he had given me an excuse to cry over the things I never let myself cry over.
I cried because the girls at school teased me about my mom; I cried because my sister was blind. I cried because my whore of a mother was dead, and I wept because I knew I had until high school at the latest until my grandmother joined her.
