Clare of Assisi:
Light for Identity, Community and Humanity
Working and dwelling at a place called Santa Clara we use her name everyday. But how many of us have developed a personal understanding or relationship to St. Clare's life? The week-long series of symposia and theatrical performances scheduled for February 17-20, 2009, will explore the identity of Clare, the extraordinary reality of her life and calling, and allow students, staff, faculty and visitors to reflect on her spiritual journey in light their own spiritual landscape to discover, ultimately, how her story converges with or diverges from their own. The intentional naming and claiming of identity is a significant consciousness for a person and for an institution, and often motivates and clarifies presence, movement, and activity in the world.
While we have a rather clear consciousness of SCU as a Jesuit university begotten by St. Ignatius of Loyola, we feel that the identity and meaning of Clare is a mystery to most. Turning to her, we investigate her unique consciousness, her leadership and her life to discover more deeply how it might shape SCU's identity, our relations with one another, and our work in the world.
Join moderator Jean Molesky-Poz, Religious Studies & guests Penelope Duckworth, Keith Warner, OFM, Margie Will, OSF & SCU Students for a lively symposium on our University's namesake.

I am noticing a huge increase in popularity among gardeners to plant edibles. There is an upswing in popularity among designers to include fruits, herbs and other edibles in the landscape. Parents want their kids to actually see where their food comes from, say a tree or a bush and not a cello wrapped bag from the grocery store. Young couples in apartments want to grow fruit trees and veggies in containers on their balcony or allotment garden. People new to Canada are coming to nurseries asking for new and unusual favorites. I am excited to see this happening.
Planting stuff you can eat is a great way to encourage gardeners. Plants that 'pay rent' are a lovely thank you for all of that work we put in to fertilizing, watering and oh my goodness the weeding. Planting edibles…fruit and berries in particular, is not very difficult and like all gardening, put the right fruit in the right place and in some cases with the right partner and you can make even the most mediocre of gardeners into a proud, fruit toting zero mile foodie! Pollination! This is viewed as a deep dark secret by some and is a too often stumbling block to many.
So I'm going to try to simplify this subject and help you to be a successful fruit grower. To get you on the right track, I will clarify a couple of terms. Pollinizer is the tree or shrub that provides the pollen. A pollinator is the bee, fly, wasp, butterfly, bat, hummingbird or other critter that transfers the pollen from one plant to another.
Apples, it takes two DIFFERENT apple varieties that bloom around the same times to get apples. As long as the blossoms open within about a week of one another and you have pollinators present and hard at work you will get apples. Crabapples in particular have a nice long bloom time and will often cover a wide range of pollination days.
Do you need your apple trees to be in the same yard and right next to one another? No. As long as the apple or crabapple tree are within about 4 city lots of one another you will likely get apples. It used to be a square city block of one another but our pollinators are getting scarce. Certainly the closer the better. There a number of apples known as triploids. These apples are like the greedy stepsisters of the pollination world…all take, take, take and no give. The can be pollinated by another tree but will not pollinate anyone else, so you would need a third variety in the mix if you wanted apples on all of the trees. Why plant a triploid? They are often pretty tasty varieties like: King of Thompkins County, Bramley's Seedling and Gravenstein.
Cherries, there are a number of varieties like the sour cherries, bush cherries and some sweet cherries that are self- fruitful. There are also a number of varieties that will require a DIFFERENT cherry variety nearby as a pollinizer to produce cherries. It will usually say so on the label. All cherries will benefit from having a DIFFERENT cherry variety nearby and you will often get bigger yields if this is the case. You have 2 different cherries nearby and wonder why you don't get fruit some years? Watch what happens at bloom time…if it is raining up, down and sideways…the pollinators can't do their job, they stay home and wait for the rain to stop like sensible bees.
Plums, we'll cover European and Japanese varieties. Many European varieties are self fruitful. For those that are not you will need another DIFFERENT European plum as a pollinizer. Most Japanese plums will need another DIFFERENT Japanese plum as a pollinizer. It's not that the European or Japanese plums are unable to pollinize one another it is simply that the Japanese plums often bloom too early to catch the bloom time of the European plums. It is also better to have the Japanese plums at least in the next yard or two as they bloom at a cooler time of spring and we want to make it a bit easier on our hard working pollinators.
Pears, there are European varieties and Asian varieties. With pears you will need two DIFFERENT varieties of pears for pollination to occur. Asian varieties tend to bloom earlier and European pears tend to bloom later. There is occasional overlap as with Bartlett European Pear and Twentieth Century Asian pear. Pear blossoms are lower in sugar so not particularly attractive to many pollinators. Believe it or not the common housefly helps to pollinate pears! Do try to keep your pears within 10-20 feet of one another to aid pollination.
There are a number of varieties that will produce a few with just one plant but you will be rewarded handsomely if you plant another blueberry close by. I like to have all my berries in one patch. Did you know the bell shaped blossoms will only release their pollen with the specific vibration of a bees wings? For all you music buffs I believe it is the key of C. If you have a tuning fork and you hit it and place it next to a blossom, you can see the pollen release…cool eh?
Haskap or Honeyberry – You will need two unrelated varieties that bloom at the same time to get fruit. The little yellow flowers are early but seem to be very attractive to our pollinators. I would plant them closer together, say about 3-5 feet.
You will need one female plant and one male plant to produce fruit. No you don't have to look under the leaves to tell…it's on the label
One plant is fine but you will produce more fruit if you get multiples…perhaps it just makes it more attractive to the pollinators.
Raspberries, Blackberries, Currants, Figs, strawberries. You are fine with just the one. Though in the case of raspberries and strawberries it won't be just one for long!
Now get out there and get cracking! The sun is out and the time is just right. Try something new, challenge yourself and plant an edible. If you have questions still, come in and say Hi! Wow me with your awesome knowledge of the difference between and pollinizer and pollinator and I will be thrilled to bits and answer all of your questions. Actually, if you forget and don't know the difference, I will still answer your questions…but I might sneer a little…inside ;).
One of the exciting new edibles I've added to my collection is the University of Saskatchewan's Bush Cherry. They've crossed a Sour Cherry with a Mongolian Cherry and have come up with a variety of new smaller, very hardy tart-sweet bush cherries.

Now hybridizing is not new, and it is not genetic modification. It is a patience and time eating task involving pollinating the flower of one cherry cultivar or variety with the flower of another cherry variety and then planting the seeds of those cherries and waiting to see how they fruit and then testing hardiness and growth habit. Cross pollination occurs in nature…in fact, that is how we can come up with 7000 plus apple varieties.
So the University of Saskatchewan has come up with a smaller bushier hardy cherry like its Mongolian relative (prunus fruiticosa) with all the tartness of a Montmorency pie cherry and all the sugars of a Bing. Well done U of Sask!
They are relatively trouble free shrubs which thrive in full sun (or at least 6 hours of it to produce the best sugars) in an average well drained soil. They can be planted in containers. They are said to be self fruitful though most likely benefit from having a second different variety around.
They have white single blossoms in the spring and fruit in July. The longer the cherries hang on the shrubs, the higher the brix, or sugar. The cherries will not drop like a Bing, they will hang on the shrub and will even dry if you leave them long enough. These cherries are great fresh and fantastic dried or in pies or preserves. They are high in vitamin C and Vitamin A as well as anthocyanins which help to reduce inflammation. The smaller shrub size makes it less attractive to the birds and easier to net if needed. There are several notable varieties each with its one unique characteristics.
Photos Courtesy: University of Saskatchewan
Carmine Jewel – Zone 2-8. This shrub produces almost black red berries in mid- July. They are great in pies, preserves, juices and dried. It is a tarter cherry but many do love it fresh. It is the earliest producer.
Crimson Passion – Zone3-8. This shrub produces dark red berries late July early August. It is the sweetest of all bush cherries with a whopping 22brix. Crimson Passion does not sucker and is a slower grower very well suited to pot culture.
Romeo – Zones 3-8. Romeo produces a dark black red sweet/sour cherry. It is one of the largest and best for producing juice. It is later than Carmine Jewel. It is great for fresh eating as well.
Juliet – Zones 2-8. Juliet produces a dark red cherry. Very good for eating fresh out of hand as well as for making pies, juice and jams. It had very high sugars and is a very productive bush. The pits are large enough to use a crank pit remover if you are making pies.
Valentine – Zones 2-8. Valentine produces a scarlet red tart cherry. The red colour holds in pies and no dye is necessary. It is also great in juice. It is very productive.
Cupid – Zones 2-8. Cupid produces the largest of the cherries and blooms 1 week later than the others. It has great balanced sweet tart flavour for fresh eating, jams and juicing.
I have a number of these in my yard and have had the chance to taste a cherry or two from the bushes. They have a tangy flavour that I adore. I look forward to them producing more and comparing the flavours. This is very exciting for me because I don't really have space for a larger cherry tree.

Pepito (Steak Sandwich)
Posted by Victoria at 7:00 AM
I love Mexican food in all forms, whether it's traditional or Americanized (fajitas, I'm looking at you!). I'm a huge fan of all the incredible spices used in Mexican cooking, and pretty much anything wrapped in a tortilla has got my vote. Wash it down with an ice cold margarita and it's a really good day.
In all my years eating Mexican food, I had never been introduced to tortas, or Mexican sandwiches. I guess I never thought a sandwich on bread (not wrapped in a tortilla) was truly Mexican, but apparently they are very popular street food in Mexico, so who am I to argue.
I am particularly intrigued by the pepito, which is a Mexican steak sandwich. This ain't no Philly cheesesteak, folks, but it is a darn good steak sandwich if you like your meat wrapped in carbs (I sure do!).
I quartered the recipe below, making a single weeknight sandwich for myself using a 1/4 pound of frozen (thawed) sirloin steak tips I had leftover from making something previously.
This sandwich is so easy to make, and comes together very quickly once you've gathered your ingredients. The steak is sliced thin so it cooks in seconds, and then once you grill your buttered baguette halves the rest is just assembly.
Slather some mayo and mustard on the top, a bit of refried black beans on the bottom, and garnish those slices of juicy steak with some thinly sliced onion, avocado, and pickled jalapenos, and the result is a well-balanced sandwich with a myriad of flavors and textures.
Creaminess from the beans and avocado mingles with tender steak and crunchy onion, with a hint of spice and acidity from the jalapenos. Holy moly, it sure is good! I will never overlook the almighty Mexican torta ever again.
Pepito (Steak Sandwich)
Makes 4
(From Tacos, Tortas, and Tamales)
1 pound boneless beef tederloin, or strip or rib eye steaks, sliced into 1/4-inch thick slices (I used sirloin steak tips)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 generous teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 juicy lime
Olive or vegetable oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 baguette, cut into 4 equal pieces and split
1/2 cup refried black beans, homemade or canned
3 tablespoons mayonnaise or crema
4 teaspoons Dijon or yellow mustard
Sliced pickled jalapenos, for topping
Thinly sliced white onion, for topping
Sliced ripe Mexican Hass avocado, for topping
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over high heat. Lay the beef on a large plate, and season it generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Pour the Worcestershire sauce and squeeze the lime over both sides of the beef.
Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the skillet in a very thin layer. Working in batches to avoid crowding the skillet, cook the beef until browned on both sides, 30 to 45 seconds per side. Transfer the beef to a clean plate to rest.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Spread the butter evenly over the cut sides of the baguette. Cook the baguette pieces, buttered sides down, in the skillet until they are light golden brown and crisp, but still soft in the middle, a minute or two.
Spread a layer of beans (a tablespoon or two) over the baguette bottoms. Spread the mayonnaise and mustard over the baguette tops. Place the beef slices on the baguette bottoms, cutting and stacking the beef if necessary so it fits neatly on the baguette. Top with sliced pickled jalapenos, thinly sliced white onion, slices of ripe Mexican Hass avocado, and a pinch of salt. Cover with the baguette tops and press firmly but gently.

The epicenter of the underground art scene is arguably the Night Gallery.
2276 E 16th Street
Los Angeles, CA 90021
+1 323 589 1135
About the Gallery
Night Gallery was founded in 2010 by artist Davida Nemeroff. Originally occupying a former party supply store in a strip mall in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood in Los Angeles, the space was conceived as a site to create, discuss, and display the work of emerging artists. The gallery's name alluded to its pitch-black walls and its nocturnal hours of operation: 10pm to 2am. In 2013, Night Gallery relocated to a large warehouse space in downtown L.A. and adopted regular daytime hours, enabling an expanded program of exhibitions and events, but has maintained its underground energy and the sense of urgency that inspired its inception. In addition to exhibitions by gallery artists such as Samara Golden, Mira Dancy, and Paul Heyer—several of whom Nemeroff first met as a student in the MFA program at Columbia—the gallery's program has included comedy nights, poetry readings, and publications such as "Night Papers," an occasional publication of artists' writings published in the form of a newspaper, all reflecting the gallery's commitment to fostering a community while elevating the artist's voice.

Here is the moodboard and client visual for the contact page I made for my web design project.
I like this style of moodboard because it dosent involve a lot of tedious cutting out. I have spent a week vbefor sticking things into a sketchbook when i could have been cobcentrating on a better final peice, Ive made all my moodboards in photoshop or fireworks since. Its more than a coincidence that my final peice for this project was a lot better than previous projects.
I think this moodboard looks just as good if not better than the cut-out method, its also alot easier to get my ideas down on, which may have taken longer with the traditional cut and stick approach.
This is the client visual, I would usually have made lots of moodboards, one for text,background, others designs etc....
The moodboard above reallly helped me decide exactly how I wanted the page to look,and more importantly in less time because after all time is money or so they say.

This looks like an interesting fire roasted steak recipe to try. I haven't done it myself yet so I can't fully vouch for it, might take some experimentation to avoid burning it too quickly. If anyone has success with this, let me know how it turned out!
1. Filet mignon (any size)
2. White Cotton Cloth
3. Sea Salt
4. Pepper
5. Twine
1. Wet the cloth and wring out.
2. Add a layer of salt (Kosher or Sea Salt) to the wet cloth.
3. Place Filet Mignon in the middle of cloth.
4. Add a little Olive Oil.
5. Sprinkle with pepper.
6. Roll the cloth over the Filet Mignon making a
casing and tie with the twine.
7. Place on the fire from the Fireplace
The cloth will start to turn black but won't burn. Cook 6-7 Min on one side. Flip and do 5-6 Min on other side.
8. Pull from fire with tongs place on cutting board and crack open. All the juices and smoke taste are held in the egg shell membrane formed by the wet cloth and salt.
By the way the meat is not salty at all.

… that humans use, and now you can too!
There are people who think that human beings are nothing special. Sure (the argument goes) people have uniquely large brains. But all sorts of creatures have unique features. Elephants are the only animals with trunks. Tamarins and marmosets are the only primates that give birth to twins. Platypuses are the only venomous mammals. Spotted hyenas are the only mammals whose females sport pseudo-penises (through which they give birth!). And so on. If we could ask members of these species they'd claim that they're the special ones.
But of course we can't ask them, and in any case, this isn't a very convincing argument. Human beings have an absolutely outsize impact on the Earth, and the advent of human beings looks like one of the major evolutionary transitions, comparable in importance to the origin of the eukaryotic cell or multicellular life. But even if we buy this, it still leaves open the question of whether there's a key adaptation – a One Weird Trick – that accounts for the exceptional course of human evolution. Here are some candidates that being are being batted around these days:
1) The cognitive niche. The basic idea is at least as old as Aristotle, that human brings are defined by their capacity for Reason. A modern version of this is advocated by evolutionary psychologist John Tooby and cognitive scientist Steven Pinker. Pinker in particular has elaborated the argument that humans are uniquely adapted to acquire and share knowledge, by virtue of a suite of cognitive, social, and linguistic adaptations. We've already touched on several aspects of this: Human beings seem to have taken the capacity for thinking about physical space and retooled it for thinking about the abstract cognitive space of possession – a social relationship. (Other abstract cognitive spaces include kinship, time, and change-of-state.) And humans seem to harness the machinery for processing the sounds of interacting solid objects in creating major categories of phonemes. For a more complete exposition, here's an academic article by Pinker, and a talk on youtube.
2) Culture. Rob Boyd and Pete Richerson, who've done a lot of mathematical modeling of cultural evolution, are skeptical about the "cognitive niche" argument. Too much culture, they argue, is things that have been learned by trial-and-error, and are passed on from one generation to the next without people understanding why they work. Boyd and Richerson appeal, as anthropologists have for generations, to the importance of culture. We mentioned earlier their argument that the frequency of climate change in the Ice Age was nicely calibrated to favor social learning rather than individual learning or instinct. Joseph Henrich provides a recent defense of the importance of culture. Contra Pinker, he thinks humans often don't have a good cause-and-effect understanding of the things they do, but depend heavily on imitation and the accumulated wisdom of the elders. And see this post, for the importance of High Fidelity cultural transmission in the evolution of animal and human intelligence.

If you put xdm_flags="" in your /etc/rc.conf.local, xdm will start automatically during the boot process. This is probably what you want nine times out of ten. But, that tenth time, it's annoying when X starts and you didn't want it to.
I put the following in my /etc/rc.local instead of putting xdm_flags="" in my /etc/rc.conf.local:
echo "Press any key within 10 seconds to bypass xdm..."
old_tty=`stty -g`
stty -echo -icanon min 0 time 100
_KEY=$(dd count=1 bs=1 2>/dev/null)
stty "${old_tty}"
if [ "${_KEY}" = "" ]; then
echo "starting xdm..."
echo Bypassing xdm
The first stty command waits 10 seconds for you to press any key. The value of that key is stored in ${_KEY}. If you pressed a key (${_KEY} != ""), rc.local does not start xdm and boots to a normal non-X login prompt. If you do not press a key, xdm starts and you're greeted with the xdm login screen.
I hope that helps someone.

Facet Joint Syndrome (Spinal Arthritis) Treatment
Are you suffering from muscle spasms or extreme joint pain? These are just two of the many symptoms of facet joint syndrome (also referred to as spinal arthritis).
Many people may not have even heard of this condition, but it is real and we offer conservative treatment for spinal arthritis here at National Pain Institute in Florida (Lake Mary, New Port Richey, Port St. Lucie, Turkey Lake, Lady Lake, and Winter Park, FL).
Want to learn more? Please keep reading.
What is Facet Joint Syndrome?
In order to understand the condition, you must first know that facet joints are the small connections located between the spine's bones. The joints prevent excess movement, and in doing so, help to prevent injuries and protect the spinal cord. The facet joints also allow us to twist our back, look around, and perform daily tasks.
Just like other parts of the spine, the facet joints deteriorate over time (injury or trauma can also damage the facet joints). This deterioration can lead to many symptoms.
Common Symptoms of Facet Joint Syndrome
Patients who suffer from facet joint syndrome sometimes are misdiagnosed or undiagnosed. Friends and family may feel the patient is exaggerating as to how much pain he or she is feeling.
No doubt about it, though, the pain and the accompanying symptoms are real and should not be taken for granted. Symptoms include:
- joint pain
- burning sensation of the nerves in the back

A few treatment options exist to help patients deal with spinal arthritis. In addition to surgery options for severe cases of facet joint syndrome, here are other treatments that may help:
- diagnostic nerve block
- radiofrequency ablation (RFA)
- face joint injection
- medial branch block
- radiofrequency neurotomy

What does your training schedule look like? As my sport is very seasonal my training schedule is really varied. During the winter I compete on the World Cup tour circuit so travel around a lot, going from Finland to China to the USA then Canada to Russia and Belarus. In the summer I spend most of my time in Switzerland and the rest of the time I'm back at university in Bath which I love.
What is your golden rule when it comes to fitness? No beer the day before training!
Where's the coolest place your sport has taken you? Beijing. It's crazy there! Nothing like I've ever experienced before – the culture and the people are totally different, and the food can be amazing. The last few years they built us a huge scaffolding ramp to compete on right in the middle of the 'Bird's Nest' [Beijing National Stadium]. Awesome atmosphere!
What's your proudest sporting achievement? Winning Britain's first ever European gold was a very special moment, as well as finishing on the podium at the Junior World Championships in 2015.
What's your best/worst habit? I'm always the first one to the gym in the morning so I get to chose the music. Worst? I'm quite easily distracted, by anything.
Who was your childhood hero? Jonny Wilkinson. I've always been a huge rugby fan, and I played before I got serious with my skiing. He's a perfectionist who never failed to give it his all on and off the pitch; he was and still is a huge role model for me.
Describe yourself in three words: Enthusiastic, passionate and easy-going.
What does the rest of 2016 look like? I was back at university in Bath until my pre-season kicked off in November. I'll be travelling up to northern Finland to train with the Swiss team until the first World Cup in China starts just before Christmas.

Men of a certain age, take stock of their lives, usually in their fifties, to ascertain if they have been a success. (Man, I loved that show…why do they always cancel the good shows, like "Deadwood," and "Friday Night Lights?" Maybe they just cancel shows I like.) We measure, or attempt to, success in a myriad of different ways. That word "legacy" creeps up. Are we going to leave something behind? Not just an inheritance, but something for which we will be remembered, a heritage. Sometimes these things are not good things, these legacies, like Jeffrey Dahmer's. I remember an episode of "The Jefferson's" where George Jefferson wanted to leave a statue of himself in a park. That was going to be his legacy. The short black man who built a dry cleaning empire and moved up to the "East Side." The episode's premise was that he didn't need to leave a statue to be remembered, to have a legacy. (The Jefferson's, by the way, were not canceled until they shot 253 episodes in 11 seasons. The last season was 1984.)
I always thought my legacy was going to be a book. Just one, on a shelf in the library, with my name on it, read and appreciated, not a best seller, probably out of print, but a book just the same. It hasn't happened, probably won't happen, and after a year of writing thousand word-stories on WordPress, I still haven't even been "Freshly Pressed." I don't know why I put so much importance in that, but it seems I do, and I wonder if it will ever happen. You'd think, if my writing was any good, that someone at WordPress would have noticed by now. I notice that some have been "Freshly Pressed" more than once, and this makes it even worse. I think of quitting, of giving up the "Freshly Pressed" mission, and then I think of something to write about.
I've had at least a hand in raising four stupendous kids. They're all doing well in their own right. I'm both proud and impressed with all of them. That should be enough of a legacy, but somehow it's not. And just so you know, neither would being "Freshly Pressed." As I struggle to find a job at my "advanced" age, I worry constantly that I will ultimately lose everything I have as my wife works overtime to keep the lights on and the roof over our heads. The retirement funds are gone, the payments are getting behind and the lottery ticket, as usual, didn't even have one number on it.
The quote of the day is: "It is vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquillity: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it." Quote by the author of Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte. (You're supposed to put two dots over the "e" but I don't know how to that on the computer.) I don't get the use of the word vain here. It is self-important to say? It is arrogant to say? It is narcissistic to say? But I agree with the meaning, that we can't just be satisfied with nothing to do, we have to be busy doing something, and that's how we create most of our own problems.
That is what I have done over the last four decades, created most of my own problems. Those decisions you make that completely change the course of your life. How you react to a strong current, and what you decide you need to have without careful consideration. So you "take stock" and wonder what would have happened if you had made a different decision. And that's when I thought about Fairy Ruzilla.
Fairy was her real name. I was sixteen, had just gotten my first car, a 1953 Chevy four-door, red and white, straight-six, station wagon, and she was in my home room. She was a petite blonde who walked by me every day on her way to her seat a few behind me. I had seen her the first time on a porch on North Main Street during the summer. It was love at first sight. I had to find out who she was, but I had not the aptness, or flat-out, the guts, to go up to her on the porch right then and introduce myself and ask her out. So I did what any logical, infatuated teenager would do, I read the phone book. I memorized the house number and sat for most of an afternoon, going through the addresses one by one until I found the Ruzilla's on Main Street. That didn't give me her name, but it gave me her phone number.
But I did nothing but drive by the house hoping to see her in the yard or on the porch. When school started in the fall, my sophomore year, I was sitting in my assigned home room, and she walked in, and smiled at me as she walked by (I swear she did.). During roll call, was the first time I heard her name. "Fairy Ruzilla?" "Here," she said from behind me and I turned around.
For the next several weeks, I made it a point to be in my seat early so she I could say "Hi" to her as she walked by. Sometimes she answered me and sometimes she didn't. In the early sixties, girls were not aloud to wear pants to school. I'm going to say it; really. They were allowed to wear pants on snow days, and these allowed days would be announced in home room. The first snow day that Fairy walked in her tight-fitting jeans was the day I decided I had to do something. The winter dance was coming up and I needed a date.
I sat in the upstairs hallway holding the phone in my lap for hours, rehearsing and rehearsing what I was going to say. I also had to be "alone" which was difficult in a house with seven kids, three bedrooms and one bathroom. I dialed the number and on the first ring pushed the switch hook. I tried again, the heart pounding out of my chest, sweat beads forming on my forehead, let the phone ring twice and hit the switch hook. A sibling walked up the stairs and wanted to know what I was doing. "Nothing," I told them, "leave me alone."
Finally I took a deep breath, dialed the number, and let it ring. A man answered.
"Is Fairy there?" I squeaked out.
"Sure, just a minute." I hear in the background, "Fairy, it's for you."
"Hello?" I froze. "Hello," she said again.
As rehearsed: "Hi, Fairy, this is Len. We have home room together. I was wondering if you would like to go to the dance with me next weekend?" Silence.
Finally she says, "Who are you, again?"
I explain that I sit three seats in front of her in home room. I try to describe myself as best I can. I say that we say hi to each other almost every morning. Silence.
"Well, I still don't know who you are," she finally says. It is obvious that she is trying to figure out in her mind whom is asking her out, and I seem to be a little too invisible.
The next thing I hear over the receiver is the "plan." Tomorrow, in home room, I am to stop her and tell her who I am. She will then let me know if she wants to go to the dance on Friday night. After I hang up I think I might have a chance here because she doesn't seem to have a date…yet.
The next day in home room, I'm sitting there as usual and she comes in. She looks right at me, says nothing, and neither do I. I can't speak. I can't even get out a hi. She walks to her seat and that was that. I'm pretty sure I lost my voice because I didn't want to be told that she wouldn't want to go out with me. That's what I told myself anyway. We never spoke again. I always wanted her to stop at my desk one morning and say "You're the guy that asked me to the dance, aren't you?" I stayed invisible.
After all those years, I still wonder what would have happened if I had just said to her that I was the one who called her yesterday about the dance. Hey, I couldn't dance anyway. I have no idea what I would have done had she said yes. Maybe I should have asked her out to a movie first.

While in Wellington I picked up these two fridge magnets from a shop in Cuba Street called Abstract Designs (they do lots of interesting laser-cut designs and I always pop in to see what they have that I could use for miniatures.)
I knew they'd go really well with some wrapping paper I bought ages ago from Pepe's Paperie and this afternoon, after clearing a corner of my worktable of stuff dumped there before the ACTME show, I threw up a trial scene:
(The table and pouffes in the foreground are show stock, supposedly hitting etsy sometime in the near future. Which could possibly be defined as 'after the May show')
And the tabletop at the back? From a set of coasters I picked up at an op shop some months back (which I thought would be perfect for a bar scene, if ever I did one), sitting on a free sample from the perspex people.
And while we're on the subject of Abstract Designs, they had the most amazing modern table and chair set for sale. Alas, at a scale we suspect was plucked out of thin air.
I didn't buy them but begged the woman in the shop to get them scaled down so I could. And here's a photo of a set bought by a mini friend in Wellington with us lamenting (over lunch) at the lack of them in 1/12th scale:

Study On Periodontal Disease Shows More Americans May Have Less To Smile About
COLLEGEVILLE, WILLIAMSPORT AND PHILADELPHIA, PA – Periodontal disease is no laughing matter, and with recent research showing that its prevalence in the U.S. may have been underestimated, it seems there are more people who have less to smile about.
Making people aware of the harmful effects of periodontal disease and how easy it is to treat when identified in its early stages could go a long way toward preventing the problem from proliferating, said Philadelphia, PA Periodontist Dr. David DiGiallorenzo.
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey traditionally has served as the primary source for determining the prevalence of periodontal disease in American adults.
Results from a study performed by the NHANES and published in the Journal of Dental Research states that the prevalence of periodontal disease may have been underestimated by as much as 50 percent.
"That means there very likely are more adults in the United States suffering from gum disease than we once thought," said the Philadelphia, PA dental implants and periodontal disease expert.
Doctors performed comprehensive periodontal examinations of the entire mouth on more than 450 adults aged 35 and older in the NHANES pilot study, according to information posted on the American Academy of Periodontology website. The doctors performing the study classified periodontal disease according to definitions determined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the AAP.
Periodontal disease- also commonly referred to as gum disease – is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the gum tissue and the bone that supports the teeth. Untreated gum disease can eventually cause teeth to become loose or even fall out.
After classifying periodontal disease in the subjects of the study, the prevalence rates were compared against results from prior studies that involved partial-mouth periodontal examinations. The pilot study found that the original partial-mouth study methodology may have underestimated true disease prevalence by as much as 50 percent.
"There also is a growing amount of information that draws a connection between gum disease and systemic health problems, including cardiovascular disease, chronic inflammatory disease, diabetes and even rheumatoid arthritis," said DiGiallorenzo.
Treating periodontal disease is easiest when diagnosed in its early stages. The guidelines set forth by the AAP suggest treating in the most cost-effective, least invasive manner.
The most technologically advanced treatment method is the laser-assisted new attachment procedure- LANAP-said Digiallorenzo, who treats gum disease at his Philadelphia, PA periodontics practice using this method. LANAP provides an alternative to treating gum disease with traditional gum surgery, which involves cutting the gums, peeling them back to remove plaque and tartar, and suturing them back into place. LANAP is a non-surgical alternative that uses a laser to gently pass between the teeth and gum line to eliminate diseased tissue and leave healthy tissue in its place.
The process uses ultrasonic root debridement to clean root surfaces, he said. Then a different laser setting is used to clot the blood so the periodontist gets a good seal. This eliminates the need to use sutures.
"I can't tell you how happy patients are when they hear that we can treat their periodontal disease without any cutting or stitches," he said. "This procedure also requires very little tissue removal to reduce pocket depth."
LANAP can be completed in one visit. In addition to reducing pocket depth, it reduces infection and in many cases, stimulates bone to regenerate.
Recognizing the signs of periodontal disease and getting treated early on is key in promoting oral and overall health, DiGiallorenzo said. Those signs include: red, sore and/or bleeding gums; shifting, loose and/or missing teeth; bad breath; and receding gums.
"If you're experiencing any of these signs or symptoms, it's a good idea to have a dental checkup," he said. "The earlier these things are identified and addressed, the better off you will be."

text: Hello guys, welcome to my channel Thank you so much for subscribing and commenting and sharing what you think about education abroad. and today I have a guest – Walker who is from the United States and today we're going to discuss motivation letters this is one of the most important aspects when you apply to university and I've gone through this process I wrote 6 motivation letters because I applied to 6 universities and I know it plays an amazing role in the application process We're going to discuss top 5 things you need to consider when writing a motivation letter. So Walker, could you please introduce yourself? I'm American living in Russia Phd in Asian Relation studies from the University of Pensilvania We start in America learning about motivation letters when we're getting ready to go in a camp My friend in New York said that their daugher who is 11 has had to write her first motivation letter to go into a private school. As much as we all hate doing it it's an essential part of life and it's selling yourself and showing yourself as individual who's capable of doing something basic part of American culture and something that is spread in the application process around the world and something that any english-language University will require and many others The most important things about a motivation letter is that you look at it as being part of the entire package of your documents which you submit so when you gather these documets together you've got your exam scores for your field or whatever discipline you're entering into you've got your diploma and your grades and your marks and then you have this other part application and sometimes this letter is attached to And the most detailed thing about you as individual is often going to be in this application where they ask questions like "Why do you want to go here?" "what experience do you have?""Do you have work experience?" "what sorts of hobbies do you have?" "What languages do you speak?" All of these things are in the application. Many students make a mistake when they're preparing these letters as they use the application as the basis for the letter They end repeting it repeating half of what they wrote in the letter what you need to look at is look first at the whole documents and imagine that this person in the admission commetee is looking at you and only knows you from these documents. If you imagine yourself as a character that's only knows from this – what's missing? what is where about you that is not in this package? Your voice is missing actually because you have numbers and diplomas but you don't have your voice. Many universities have very detailed application questions that are part of the application and in that case you need to talk about something else in the letter Make sure that the letter is something that supliments the application and doesn't repeat it so it has new information. The second thing is really important you get a picture and it's written precisely to the audience that is going to be reading. a piace of writing and that the people who are there who are on this commetee are going to be attracted by this document to you as a person and this is distinguish to a lot of where you're going if you're going into BA program or you're younger student they're principally interested in you as a person and in you as a potential adult and so it's very important to talk about your hobbies show yourself as being a rounded person that's a common adjective – a well rounded person but if you're going into Master's or Doctor's program they're interested to know exactly how you're prepared and why you're interested in this particular program in this particular field.

Today, the word dirigible is almost always used as a noun, referring to a zeppelin-type airship, and I always had it in my head that the word was related to rigid, a reference to the rigid frame of such an aircraft. But that is not the case. The word began life as an adjective meaning capable of being directed or steered. It was formed from the Latin verb dirigere, meaning to direct, steer, or guide. So a dirigible is a steerable balloon.
The adjective dates to the late sixteenth century but in the 1880s began to be applied specifically to balloons. By 1907 the word was being used as a noun to refer to Ferdinand von Zeppelin's airships.
Oxford English Dictionary, second edition, 1989, s. v. dirigible, adj. and n.

A Mother And Homemaker First
Children first, LuAnn second
Though it may seem like my social calendar is overflowing, first and foremost I'm a mother and a homemaker. I have a daughter, 12, and a son, 9, who keep me hopping, and a husband who travels a great deal on business. After keeping up with them, I make time for myself and my interests, which includes as much fun as I can pack in.
The whole of New York is my oyster. I love its diversity, its artists, its rapid-fire business, its cosmopolitan feel, its fashion and its tastes. I love standing on a corner waiting to cross and hearing three and four languages at once. We moved from Switzerland to New York some years ago for family reasons. I love Manhattan, but if we need to move on, I'll be ready. Rome was my first love in Europe -- hard to beat that city!
Otherwise, I'm just looking forward to snuggling in with the kids and Roseanne for tonight's premiere.
Until next week.... -LuAnn

It's a pretty popular notion that every kid wants a puppy and that every parent dreads getting that puppy and then having to take care of it. However, in reality, getting your child a dog as a pet can be a smart step in helping him learn and grow. If your child has been asking for a puppy for his next birthday, check out the following list. These are just a few of the reasons that dogs actually make a great birthday present for children of all ages.
They Teach Responsibility
Obviously, dogs require a lot of care. Having a dog can teach a kid about responsibility, particularly if you hold your kid accountable for taking care of their pet. Set up a chore schedule related to your dog, and make sure that your child sticks to all of his duties. Make sure you assign kid-friendly duties to your kid while making sure you take care of the adult responsibilities. Kids can do things like walk dogs, play with them and make sure they're fed. You should do things like driving the dog to the vet for preventative flea and tick treatments or for regular medications like Vetmedin 5mg.
They Improve Health
In multiple scientific studies, dogs have been shown to improve the health of the people who own them. Not only do the alleviate stress and create good-feeling healthy hormones in the body, they also can help reduce allergies in kids who have them around from their earliest years. So if you get your kid a dog as a gift, and you may just end up having a kid who needs to go to the doctor less often.
They Make Great Playmates
Dogs are constant companions. If kids are lonely at school or they don't have siblings, dogs can stand in as a playmate. And they're great listeners, so kids can confide in them with secrets, troubles, and feelings, too. Getting a dog is like offering a built-in playmate at home, without having to travel to a friend's house to get some entertainment time in.
They Are Protectors
Dogs are natural protectors. They are known for acting as guardians to the people they love, and many parents choose to get dogs in order to deter intruders and keep their homes safe. Get your kid a dog and you may just scare off intruders or other people with bad intentions.
They Foster Connections
Not only do dogs make great friends, they can also inspire the formation of human friendships, too. When kids walk dogs, they may spark conversations with other people who have dogs, or they may meet kids their age when you take them to the dog park. Dogs are facilitators of human connections, so they can expand your child's life in many unexpected ways.
Getting a dog can be one of the most exciting things in a kid's life, and parents shouldn't always be skeptical of the perks of getting a kid a puppy. If your child asks you for a dog for his next birthday, then consider it. You may be able to make him or her a warmer, calmer, more responsible person, and your whole family will be able to benefit from the great parts of having a furry friend at home.

These 1st birthday ideas came from straight from a recent party in Telluride, Colorado.
Decorations for a first birthday should be bold and bright. Children love color so add it wherever you can.
just helped a friend put on this party. The little ones love it! To
welcome our guests and to help them find the house, we put a
personalized Baby Einstein Banner above the front door.
These 1st birthday ideas bring both color and fun to the first birthday party. We mixed red, blue, green, yellow and purple solid helium balloons with Baby Einstein Mylar balloons and it looked great.
We tied color coordinating curly ribbons onto each balloon and
placed them everywhere. There were balloons hanging from the ceiling,
on the wall, and we floated one on the back of each chair.
even weighted some down with this Baby Einstein Octoplush toy for a
table decoration and later for our little "one" to add to his Baby
Einstein toy collection.
We draped primary colored crate paper across the ceiling of the family
room, which was the main party area, and hung a Baby Einstein 1st
birthday banner across the doorway. 1st Birthday Ideas for Einstein are
Toys, toys, toys. Our birthday boy just
happens to be a true Baby Einstein as is his mom, so he has accumulated
lots of Baby Einstein toys in his first year. We scattered the toys
about for decoration and entertainment for the little ones. We hung a
few plush toys on strings from the ceiling and sat some on end tables.
We also placed some Baby Einstein activity toys and books in out of the way areas on the floor. But the big attraction was the Baby Einstein Animal Exploration Tunnel that we placed in the middle of the floor for the children to crawl through.
our birthday boy did not have the tunnel, I purchased it for him for
his birthday present and gave it to him prior to the party. It was
definitely worth the money spent. This was of the best 1st birthday
ideas we had.
We covered the cake and beverage tables with a Baby Einstein Table Cover and on the other three used a solid red, blue and green cover.
Each table had a centerpiece. On the cake table, we added a Baby Einstein Mylar Balloon and a few solid balloons to a centerpiece from Birthday in a Box and created our own centerpieces on the four other tables.
We made large wall-size flashcards out of white poster boards. On each one we put a picture of a word, like: birthday cake, present and balloon and then had the word printed underneath.
We also had a picture of the birthday boy in his Baby Einstein Duck costume blown up and tacked it on the wall as well.
Of course no party is complete without a piñata. When trying to choose
between the Baby Einstein duck, monkey or lion pinatas, we just couldn't
decide. They were all so fun and cute we opted for all three. One we
hung from the ceiling in the family room where the party mainly was,
one was hung next to the cake table and one we hung outside by the front
One other thing we did was to reserve a
wall for artwork. We taped up some Baby Einstein coloring pages our
birthday boy had colored and other artwork of his as well. Then, at the
end of craft time, we added his guest's art to the mix and when the
party was over, we let each guest untape his or her artwork and take it
We also had each the children put their hand prints on one large white poster board using bright colored finger paints.
We wrote each child's name beneath each print and displayed the
keepsake poster on the wall with the rest of the art. This will be a
tradition at each birthday party from now on.
Though we
weren't sure about this last minute "art-wall" brainstorm, it turned out
to be a great 1st birthday idea as it enchanted the children to see
their own work on the wall. They were so proud.
The rule for
Baby Einstein decorating is that if it is bold and bright…use it! If it
is fun to look at or play with…use it! But the number one rule when it
comes to party decorating is to have fun and enjoy.
Again there is so much information it got it's own page...
Baby Einstein Snacks and Food
First you will want to decide upon a container to put the treats in to get an idea of how many favors to include.
can also create your own by decorating primary colored sacks with Baby
Einstein stickers. Personalized stickers are available too. You can
even paint each child's name on his or hers with a paint pen.
As far as what to put in the containers, we have tons of ideas.
Small plush animals and bathtub toys are fun to add and safe for all ages. Baby Einstein animal finger puppets, wind up toys and baby rattles are available too.
Little Einstein yo-yos and kaleidoscopes are great 1st birthday ideas that older guest will love as well.
love stickers so don't forget Baby Einstein stickers. You can order
personalized stickers as well as magnets, buttons and an assortment of
other fun favors.
With any theme I always add all-around items such as small containers of play dough, bounce balls, tiny bubble sets and miniature books. I also include little coloring books and I purchase a large crayola package and put four or five crayons in each treat sack.
Snacks are good to add. Purchase prepackaged ones or divide your own into ziplock baggies. Yogurt bites, animal crackers and puffs are excellent for the little bitty ones. Gummy bear candies are good for older guests. You can also add Animal Craze fruit packaged snacks.
Preassembled favor sets are convenient and often very cost effective too.
With all these 1st birthday ideas you are sure to have as much fun
preparing the favors as the kids will have receiving them. Enjoy!
There are great birthday supplies at Birthday in a Box. They offer you package deals, which are cheaper than buying individually.
Celebrate Express
has allot of great Baby Einstein supplies and even a place to customize
your child's party supplies. You also get free shipping if you spend

At Amazon
you can find good deals, but you may have to choose from more than one
vendor. Look for free shipping as Amazon usually has good sales or
shipping discounts going.
We hope you enjoy our 1st birthday ideas. Have a great first birthday!
Did you know I get to see my Grandbabies
in the middle of the week?
I head to the mountains on a Wednesday.

The best way to create a flamboyant experience in the mind of readers is by inducing all the five senses like sight, smell, touch, taste or sound. It is a creative exercise that is full of fun. It gives you an opportunity to reveal your innermost feeling on a particular topic. However, before you pick your pen and start writing, you need to stop for a moment and think for the reasons to write. It assists you to elaborate the reasons giving your perspective or emotion a particular framework.

OceanSide church of Christ
|Return to list of articles
Victor M. Eskew
Virtue, morality, holiness, purity, and innocence are qualities that
bring little respect in a culture that has given itself to decadence,
immorality, sin, and perversion.
However, God's children are still called to live lives of
non-conformity. "And be not
conformed to this world…" (
One of the problems that Christians face involves desensitization to sin. Webster defines the term "desensitize" as follows: "1: to make (a sensitized or hypersensitive individual) insensitive or non-reactive to a sensitizing agent…3: to make emotionally insensitive or callous." Our society displays many "sensitizing agents" before us every day. These sensitizing agents are such things as nudity, sexual expressions, violence, and profanity. When seen or heard, God's children should react with shock and dismay. They should be ashamed and blush. Righteous indignation ought to rise within them. Their desire to be holy should cause them to flee in the opposite direction. But, because we have been desensitized, we no longer have these negative emotions and reactions. Instead, we tolerate, participate in, and promote many of the displays of sin and corruption. We accept them as a common part of life that will never go away.
Filthy language is one of the things to which children of God have become desensitized. Profanity fills many of the songs that make the Top Forty List. It is seldom that a movie is made that does not contain some of the most vile of curse words. Politicians, actors, performers, sports figures, and media personalities cannot give an interview without some expletives rolling from their lips. It has even become customary to hear so-called religious leaders spewing vulgarity from the pulpit. The workplace, the ball field, the gym, and even the church buildings are overflowing with cuss words. Hearts and ears that should be hypersensitive to these words have become insensitive and callous. In some cases, we have accepted these things. Some do not even understand why cursing, swearing, and profanity are wrong.
Let's look at a few passages of Scripture as we examine why cussing is wrong. In one of his psalms, David wrote: "Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile" (Ps. 34:13). David's son, Solomon, set forth this admonition: "Put away from thee a forward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee" (Prov. 4:24). Paul exhorted the saints in Ephesus with these words: "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that is may minister grace unto the hearers" (Eph. 4:29). Even the Son of God spoke on this subject. His teaching ties the words of our mouth to the condition of our heart. "O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned" (Matt. 12:34-37). The Bible clearly forbids evil words, corrupt communication, and idle speaking. Our Father wants us to use our tongues and lips in a positive, edifying manner.
Cuss words to not fall into the category of positive, edifying communication. First, the many purposes of cuss words show that they are negative. These words are intended to hurt, to intimidate, to express anger, and to condemn. These are not the kind of actions the holy God of heaven desires of His children. Remember, Paul said that our words should be good and bring about edification (Eph. 4:29).
Second, cuss words are wrong because of the evil categories into which they fall. Below is a list of some of the ways cuss words can be categorized:
The life of a Christian, and this includes his speech, should rise high above these eight categories. The kinds of traits involved in the above categories are to be removed from the saint's life. "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry….But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth" (Col. 3:5, 8).
Third, cussing is wrong because Jesus would never engage in such offensive language. Jesus was pure, holy, and without a hint of sin. He did not stoop to raw, ignorant, sexual, offensive, and rude words to communicate His message. He is our example to follow. The beloved apostle John wrote: "He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked" (I John 2:6).
In Psalm 10, the inspired writer gives us a description of the wicked. This is an individual who opposes God (Ps. 10:2). His language is described in verse 7. "His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity." Surely no Christian wants to be perceived as part of the wicked. One of the ways of distinguishing ourselves from them is to keep our communication both pure and holy. Our desire in this area needs to be like that of the inspired poet of old: "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer" (Ps. 19:14).
