In an effort to raise awareness for Tron Legacy, Walt Disney World in Florida is going to be transforming their Epcot monorail line with Tron Legacy light cycle artwork. On the Disney Parks Blog, the report says the transformed trains will be launched as early as this month. Also, "if you look close, you'll notice that the design of the futuristic motorcycle-like vehicles from the upcoming film Tron: Legacy also includes walls of trailing colored light."
Hit the jump for another picture. I cannot wait to see what other changes are going to happen at both parks before Tron Legacy comes out. If you missed the amazing new Tron Legacy trailer, click here.

Worker Fatalities
Collection is one of the most dangerous activities in the recycling industry. Tragically, workers have lost their lives due to being backed-over by trucks, or struck by on-coming vehicles as they were exiting the trucks they were driving. These fatal accidents can be prevented by taking proper precautions.
In addition to vehicle accidents, collecting recyclable material involves other hazards, such as potential lifting injuries; slips, trips and falls; and cuts and abrasions. For more detailed information about these hazards and associated protective measures, visit the links below.

A while back, I made a batch of Kahlua Beef Short Ribs, and Kenya over at Here's the Thing... commented that although her hubby likes beef (and Kahlua), she's not a big beef eater, so she was wondering if the recipe would work with chicken. My thought was that it would probably work great with bone-in dark meat chicken. She also commented that should she make the ribs for her hubby, the Kahlua would give her an excuse to spike her coffee, to which I replied "don't forget the Amaretto DiSaronno!" I love Kahlua and Amaretto together, especially in a Toasted Almond. That's my favorite drink, whether made with milk, cream, or even vanilla ice cream!
I had pulled some chicken out of the freezer the other day on my way to work, not yet having a plan for what I wanted to do with it. My mind returned to Kenya's question while I was driving home, and although the chicken I had pulled out was neither bone-in nor dark meat, I figured what the heck and gave it a shot anyhow.
It was tasty, but I've got some tweaking to do. I was working with less chicken (3 breasts) than what I had when making the ribs, so right off the bat, I should have decreased the sauce - or at least used a bigger pan for more surface area/evaporation. I also knew that unless I was using a slow cooker, it probably wasn't a good idea to cook the chicken for as long as the ribs had cooked - but I did anyhow, just to see what would happen.
Not bad for a first attempt while knowing I was doing a few things wrong. I think next time, I'll increase the Amaretto (the Kahlua was still definitely the predominant flavor), reduce the amount of peppercorns, and cook down the sauce with the onions ahead of time (maybe with a little sugar and/or cornstarch) so I can glaze the chicken with it while cooking for a shorter period of time. We'll see. Anyhow Kenya - I'll let you know when I get it "just right," and maybe this will push you go play around with it in the meantime?
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt and pepper
1 T granulated pasilla chilies
1 T whole peppercorns
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 large onion, sliced
1/2 c Kahlua
1/2 c DiSaronno Amaretto
1/2 c chicken broth
1 T vanilla
Sliced almonds
- Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper and place in baking dish.
- Sprinkle the chilies, peppercorns, and garlic over the chicken.
- Top the chicken with the onion slices, then stir together the liquid ingredients and pour over the top.
- Cover with foil and bake at 350° for 1'.
- Remove foil, flip chicken, re-cover with foil and bake for another 1', then flip again and continue - uncovered - for 30".
- Toss a handful of sliced almonds in a dry pan and lightly toast over medium heat for a garnish.
For sides with this, I made some pilaf for the starch, then did a simple sauté of tomatoes and artichokes in olive oil with a little garlic and Italian seasoning.

The above 3 Pictures are examples of 1Q32.
1Q32 is a gel polish brought in by The Pink Room International, the school that Ying, Kimberly and I went to.It is formulated to work as an all-in-1, base and topcoat integrated in to a bottle, so when you come down to *Scape for an express gel mani, we only shape your nails, buff them, and apply two coats of 1Q32 gel polish and your nails will be ready to go! No sticky inhibition layer that requires a cleanser like all other gel products. This product lasts up to 10 days, 7 days for me. If you like changing colors often, but do not want to wait for traditional nail lacquer to dry, this gel polish is your go-to!
These 3 pictures above are of Hand and Nail Harmony Gelish. This brand is what started the soak-off gel craze because it lasts up to 3 weeks, some people get an even longer wear than that!
Gelish is from USA, and at *Scape, we offer Classic Gelish Manicure, meaning we shape, groom your cuticles, buff, prepare your nail with Gelish PH Bond, apply Gelish foundation gel as a basecoat, apply 2 layers of color, a layer of Gelish Top-it-Off as a last if there isn't any nail art to be done, cleanse nail and apply cuticle oil. Each layer has to go into the LED or UV lamp to cure.
If you are having nail art, we will draw on the top-it-off and then add another 2 layers of Top-It-Off to seal in your nail art.
Gelish Classic Manicures are for those who love their nail art or their polish colors, so much, that they want a lasting 3 week wear on their nails. Many love Gelish because of its long wearing properties.

Despite occasional lip service, the Navy generally pays no mind to the concerns of local residents who are affected by the much louder — and increasingly frequent — roar of the EA-18 Growlers practicing touch-and-go landings at the Outlying Landing Field southeast of Coupeville. The Navy misrepresented to the community the volume and impact of the noise of the Growlers before the jets arrived, so it should come as no surprise that neighbors now feel angry and frustrated. In my view, it's not simply late-night jet noise that angers many Whidbey Island residents. Rather, it's that haughty, could-care-less attitude that rubs people the wrong way. With its continued insistence that Growler noise is not a problem, the Navy continues to act like a lousy bully of a neighbor. As long as this attitude persists, the Navy is doing a disservice to the many members of the military who contribute in a positive way to the Whidbey Island community, and who remember the freedoms they serve our nation to protect.

World Bank pledges additional power generators for Monrovia
(elbcradio.com/Mar. 9, 2015)-The World Bank has pledged several power generators to facilitate the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC) provide adequate power for Monrovia and environs.
World Bank Deputy Managing Director for Commercial Services, Famatta Sirleaf, said: "The Bank will purchase the power generators at the cost of over US$4M."
The machinery will be used to complement the additional power project in the targeted areas. Madam Sirleaf named the General Services Agency (GSA) Road Community in Paynesville, among other communities, as areas to benefit from the upcoming project.
She made the commitment Sunday, March 8, 2015 when she led an LEC Team at the recent GSA Road Community meeting.
The LEC Deputy Managing Director for Commercial Services told the residents at the gathering: "The Liberian Government will provide you power beginning July this year (2015)."
Madam Sirleaf encouraged the residents to work along with LEC technicians to electrify other homes in the GSA Road Community. Speaking on behalf of his fellow residents, GSA Road Community Acting Chairman, James Morris, said they are in support of the initiative.
Chairman Morris said: "I promise the residents' cooperation with LEC for the success of the project."
He noted that they are happy over the Government's plan to electrify their community and other areas in Paynesville. Mr. Morris added: "The implementation of the project will ensure security in our community and will improve our livelihood."
Currently, the Liberia Electricity Corporation has only 22-megawatt power with the capacity of distributing electricity across Monrovia and adjacent communities.
Prior to the Liberian civil conflict, the major source of power in Liberia was the Mount Coffey Hydro Plant, but the plant was enormously damaged by belligerent forces during the conflict.
Efforts are, however, being made to restore the Hydro. Work on the plant was halted, because of the Ebola outbreak in the country.

Protecting Location Privacy Against Inference Attacks
Kazuhiro Minami and Nikita Borisov, 2010. Protecting location privacy against inference attacks. In Proceedings of the 9th annual ACM workshop on Privacy in the electronic society (2010), pp. 123-126.
GPS-enabled mobile devices are a quickly growing market and users are starting to share their location information with each other through services such as Google Latitude. Location information, however, is very privacy-sensitive, since it can be used to infer activities, preferences, relationships, and other personal information, and thus access to it must be carefully protected. The situation is complicated by the possibility of inferring a users' location information from previous (or even future) movements. We argue that such inference means that traditional access control models that make a binary decision on whether a piece of information is released or not are not sufficient, and new policies must be designed that ensure that private information is not revealed either directly or through inference. We provide a formal definition of location privacy that incorporates an adversary's ability to predict location and discuss possible implementation of access control mechanisms that satisfy this definition. To support our reasoning, we analyze a preliminary data set to evaluate the accuracy of location prediction.

Location Privacy: Is Privacy in Public a Contradiction in Terms?
We would like to invite you to read Geodata Policy's first guest blog posting by Robert Gellman. This article is timely given the update of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) and the recent Federal Trade Commission (FTC) report, Protecting Consumer Privacy in an Era of Rapid Change, which highlights the sensitivety of "precise geolocation data" (p. 61).

Is Privacy in Public a Contradiction in Terms?
Robert Gellman, Privacy and Information Policy Consultant
February 21, 2011
Is there such a thing as privacy in a public space? When you walk down the street, anyone can observe you, make notes about your location, appearance, and companions, and even take your picture. If so, then it would seem that you have no reasonable expectation of privacy.
However, most people would be unhappy if they found themselves followed all day. For most of human existence, this type of surveillance was impractical because of the great expense of following someone around.
This is a good place to pause and say that this is a short essay and not a law journal article. The law of surveillance is complex, and the answers can be different if the person doing the surveillance is a government agent, an employer, or an average person, or if you're taking pictures or recording conversations.
Is privacy in public a case of the irresistible force meeting the immoveable object? Should your location privacy deserve some protection even when you are in public?
These questions are much harder to answer today because of technology. It's cheap to track people in public today. There's no need to pay a private detective. Technology does it. First on the list are cell phones. Your cell phone broadcasts your location constantly to a cell phone tower, and your provider knows where you are. Cameras are everywhere, taking pictures in malls, parking lots, building corridors, on the street, at red lights, and on the highway. Facial recognition software is getting better all the time. Photos placed on the Internet can be scanned to identify individuals as well as the date and GPS coordinates where the photos were taken. Digital signage in stores and elsewhere can record behavior, approximate age, gender, and ethnicity, and can sometimes identify individuals using a variety of devices. I recommend a pioneering report on digital signage by my colleague Pam Dixon. It's at the World Privacy Forum website.
Even though not all the technological and organizational links are yet in place, it's not hard to envision the possibility that, in the near future, every action you take outside your home may be observed and recorded by someone. This is more or less what happens today online, where there is a good chance that some website or advertiser (and probably many more than one) records every site you visit, every page and ad you see, and every click you make.
RFF Value of Information Workshop Report Released
The Value of Information: Methodological Frontier and New Applications for Realizing Social Benefit
by Molly Macauley and Ramanan Laxminarayan, Resources for the Future, Published August 2010
This report highlights the major conclusions and outcomes from a workshop held June 28–29, 2010 at Resources for the Future in Washington, DC, on methodological frontiers and new applications of valuing information and its social benefit. The participants provided answers to a series of questions: What is meant by "value of information"? When does information have value? What are state-of-the-practice methods to ascribe value to information? Participants also identified steps to ascribe, measure, and communicate value.
The workshop was distinctive in serving as the first multi-day, in-depth meeting to convene experts in the two disparate communities of social science and Earth science to identify and critique state-of-the-practice methods for ascribing value and societal benefit to information. The workshop outputs include specific recommendations and actions to enhance and further demonstrate the value of information from public investments, particularly those in Earth science applications.
A main finding is that investment in Earth observations confers many benefits but a lack of tools and resources has caused these benefits to be less well measured and communicated than warranted. The report includes suggestions attendees offered as next steps to enhance modeling, evaluation, and communication of the array of benefits.
Report PDF can be found at: http://www.rff.org/Publications/Pages/PublicationDetails.aspx?PublicationID=21266
Interestingly, one participant of the workshop remarked on "the difference between public and private sector perspectives. In the public sector (and academia), the primary questions seem to concern the overall value of information. To be useful in the private sector, such questions must be augmented by knowledge of how that value is allocated throughout the supplier-customer chain."

With all the buzz surrounding the recent election and the first few weeks of the Trump administration, we wanted to give you a look inside Ivanka Trump's new home with photos from Zillow.com. Regardless of what side of the political divide you find yourself on, we know that both Ivanka and Jared are going to play a big role in her Father's administration.
America's first daughter quickly found her very own White House in Washington, DC. Trump, husband Jared Kushner, and their three children recently relocated to a Kalorama colonial located at 2449 Tracy Place where they will reside during her father's administration. The 1923 Waddy Wood design recently received an interior facelift, although it still holds much of its original charm. The structure features five wood-burning fireplaces and exquisite crown molding, but it now also displays sleek, modern accents such as stainless steel appliances and oversized windows. The 6,870 square foot home (containing six bedrooms and seven baths) faces south, allowing for plenty of natural light.
If stunning architecture wasn't enough to make Kalorama one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the D.C. area, it now houses some serious political personalities. Rumor has it the Obamas live just a few blocks away!
What are your thoughts? Post a comment below!

One of the initiatives begun since I came on board at USP is to convert the team from using CVS for version control to using Git. CVS was performing adequately in most respects, but the leadership recognized that Git is the de facto industry standard these days and that, beyond the technical benefits of moving to Git, there was value in keeping up with the standards of the industry and the Drupal community. The question, then, was how to best accomplish the change.
The first course we investigated was using git cvsimport. Our hope was that this would allow us to move our entire repository history into CVS. When we started testing it out, though, we found the results to be unclear and were not certain that everything was reflected in the resulting branches. Based on the uncertainty, we decided instead to do a more static conversion and leave the pre-Git commit history in CVS.
Because of the business needs we had to support, we decided on a branching strategy of using three long running branches; one for each of our development, testing, and production environments. Because there was no point in time when all three environments were in sync, each branch needed to be initialized independently. We also wanted to minimize the downtime, particularly on production. We decided to essentially wrap CVS in Git and that our process would be:
- Create an empty repository on the origin and add a .gitignore file to take care of the files we didn't need to track (like the CVS directories and the .# files CVS uses for tracking.
- Add files from the production web server by:
- running git init on the production server
- adding the repository created using git remote add
- checking out the master branch to pull down the .gitignore file we created
- adding and commiting all the files from production to the master branch of the repository
- Set up the dev and test branches by:
- moving all the files from the environment to another location
- cloning the repository onto the web server
- creating and checking out a new environment branch (i.e., dev on the dev server or test on the test server)
- moving the original files back onto the web server
- adding and committing the changes to the environment branch
The end result of this process was that we had a working Git repo and still have access to all the CVS history by running CVS on the same file set. All that with no downtime on production at all and only about thirty minutes of downtime on each of the dev and test environments (including a lot of running git status to double check that everything was as we expected).

We had an early start this morning to get to our first program at Shibaura House in Tokyo City.
We introduced meditation to a small group of people with a guided meditation, followed by a shloka recital sung by Nicki. Everyone asked for more music, so towards the end we all sang together a few songs in Hindi and everyone had fun clapping along with us!!!
For lunch we went to Sawako's building where there was a kitchen and dining room rented for us. It was really sweet of the Japanese Meditate To Regenerate team to cook spaghetti and pizza for us. Straight after lunch we were taken to the 31st floor of the building where the views of Tokyo were stunning.
Soon after we went down to a rented music room which was perfect for our bhangra dance rehearsal which Ram taught us.
After the two hour practice we went to Shibaura House for the concert. The building had really big glass windows which helped attract more attention to the concert while we were singing and dancing. While there was the Kuchi Pudi dance three little children and their mother walked past the building and when they saw us the two younger girls came in first to sit right at the front and even stayed for a second dance performance.
We had a powerful end to the concert with a Pakistani Qawwali where a few stood up to dance and everyone else clapped along with us!!!
We finished the day by going to a restaurant where we tried Japanese hot pot.

COMMUTERS were today warned to expect nine months of delays when two major roads close for water pipe works.
Severn Trent Water will spend £1.4 million replacing more than ten miles of old, crumbling pipes in east Birmingham.
The project, until May, will also cut leaks from pipes serving almost 2,000 homes in the Hob Moor Road and Bordesley Green East area of Yardley.
Larry Barnes, Severn Trent Water's network field services manager, said: "We will have to dig up some parts of the road to gain access to pipes and this may mean some disruption to customers, but any short term inconvenience will be outweighed by the improvement to the water supply.
"This project will also help to improve the taste and appearance of the tap water - factors our customers tell us are important to them."
Severn Trent said road closures would be necessary from time to time but that motorists would be warned in advance. The company is liaising with Birmingham City Council to ensure that diversions will be in place.
Services to households may also be cut at certain times during the works.
The new water mains will be able to withstand greater pressure.

NEWBURY PARK, Calif. (KABC) -- Pro beach volleyball player Casey Patterson drives from his Huntington Beach home up to Ventura County to train at the Sports Academy.
He thinks it's as close to an athlete's Disneyland as you can get.
It has everything you need under one roof. He might be right.
"To have access to everything a professional athlete needs - it's unreal and all in one location," Patterson said.
The 97,000-square-foot facility is home to five basketball courts, five volleyball courts, five soccer courts, a 5,000-square foot turf field, weight facility, doctors' clinic, yoga and spin studios. And an Olympic style track.
It also has a 40-yard spring turf with electric timers, said the facility's athletic director, Tim Jensen.
Also included are two indoor Olympic-size sand volleyball courts.
But here is the best part. All of this isn't just for uber-athletes.
"This is for little boys, little girls, big boys big girls, old people like me. We all have an athlete inside of us," Jensen said.
Along with all the physical elements, they have you up your mind game as well. The facility has a Dynavision D2 board designed to test reaction times and reflexes.
Training mind with body increases brain processing speed and confidence. They can train for sport specificity, increase speed, even take it out to the field or court.
It also offers the Dieter CQD system, which is "a training system that breeds outcomes of empowerment, self-confidence and really the ability to know within yourself that you can determine an outcome," said Jason Nyhan, director of corporate development.
Rather than sell memberships, the Sports Academy charges for specific training, a la carte.
A personal session with a trainer starts at $50. Drop-in group classes are $25. They say their prices are in the ballpark with mainstream gyms.
Sports Academy caters to Olympic hopefuls and desk jockeys alike

Rockall pod-dweller braces for stormy weather
Nick Hancock battens down the hatches on North Atlantic islet
Rockall pod-dweller Nick Hancock has now spent over three weeks atop the North Atlantic islet and was battening down the hatches on Saturday ahead of predicted stormy weather.
Thumbs up: Nick Hancock on Rockall
He wrote: "Tomorrow is supposed to be a very calm day, but as they say: the calm before the storm. From Tuesday next week there are forecast winds in excess of 30mph, gusting up to 50mph (Strong Gale), with rain, and remaining that way for several days. I've already had winds in excess of 30mph, but only for short periods, so this promises to be the worst weather I've experienced yet, and may limit my ability to tweet and update the blog for a while."
Sunday's weather did indeed prove kind, as this snap last night proved:
What were you doing at 2300hrs last night? I was watching this amazing sunset on #Rockall. An amazing privilege! :) pic.twitter.com/kwcZNbicIy
— Nick Hancock FRGS (@RockallNick) June 29, 2014
Hancock hopes to spent a total of 60 days on Rockall in aid of Help for Heroes, breaking the previous occupation record of 42 days, set by three Greenpeace activists back in 1997.
Twitching: Nick Hancock and his survival podule
He's been living in the "RockPod" survival podule, and passing the time twitching and learning to play the harmonica.
So far it has been a fairly uneventful expedition, although that may change later in the week. As a taste of what the Atlantic may be brewing up, the plucky Brit retreated to his den last week as the wind started to pick up to 30mph. He wrote: "It's just not sensible to be out and about in those conditions, even with a harness and life line, especially when the rock is wet and slippery, so I was pod-bound for the rest of the morning and all of the rest of the day."
If this week's forecast proves correct, Hancock may have a few further days indoors to brush up on his harmonica skills. ®

A South Carolina man's child custody victory in an upstate New York court Friday is both a heartening sign for Orange County fathers facing custody cases that cut across state lines. It also, however, offers a sobering lesson in just how much of a battle dads can face when they seek to claim their Orange County fathers' rights.
According to newspaper accounts in both New York and South Carolina, a court in New York's Warren County (a mostly-rural area north of Albany) awarded Johnny Smith of Conway, South Carolina full custody of his five-year-old daughter this week after a legal battle lasting more than two years. What has to be shocking for Orange county fathers is that this took so long despite the fact that the little girl was abused while in her mother's custody in 2008 – an offense for which the mother served a year in prison.
Warren County NY did not seek to return the girl to her mother. The Albany Times-Union reports that the mother did not even contest custody. The county, however, argued that Conway's daughter should remain in foster care rather than being reunited with her dad because "all of her medical, educational, mental health and emotional needs are being met" inside New York's foster care system, according to the Myrtle Beach Sun-News. According to the Times-Union, Warren County sought to keep the girl in New York indefinitely because it believes Johnny Smith and his current wife are "financially fragile."
Orange County fathers watching this case are likely to see it as just another instance of a legal system that often appears to be stacked against them. Indeed, while the Smith case does show that justice can prevail when father's rights are in danger, it is also a reminder of how lengthy and emotionally consuming a process asserting those rights often is. When a case this seemingly clear-cut can drag on for more than two years, what hope is there for a father whose case may be more ambiguous – especially if the mother actually does contest child custody? Moreover, when a case, like Smith's, involves more than one state things immediately become more complicated and often move at an even slower pace.
In such cases finding the right Orange County fathers' rights lawyer can be a challenge. It is important to seek an attorney whose practice has dealt with inter-state custody disputes in the past – a lawyer who is uniquely prepared for the special complications, and frustrations, often presented by fathers' rights and parental alienation cases, whether they are based here in Orange County or stretch across the country.
Albany Times-Union: Father's custody quest now fulfilled
Myrtle Beach Sun-News: Judge: Conway father can return from N.Y. with 5-year-old daughter next week

Dear Folks
The place is getting like Piccadilly Circus: we had another visitor today – a tall, good looking, fellow in an expensive suit. He asked for Janine by name; said they had known each other a long time ago but he had only just learnt of her illness.
We asked him where he had heard such a story. The funny thing was, he couldn't tell us where he had heard the news – said he just had. It seemed strange, but in a peculiar way it rang true; a totally different sort of feeling to that we had about the woman of a few days ago.
He said that he wanted to see Janine but we said we would have to check on that. He understood. We're going to have a word with the doctor tonight and have asked the man to come back tomorrow. We'll see what we do then.
Only me and Bashful got to see Janine tonight. Sleepy was tired and Sneezy has a cold so Dopy, Grumpy and Doc set to tidy up the place. We need to have the place looking tidy when our visitor returns tomorrow.
When we got to the hospital there had been no change in Janine. She still lays there looking as beautiful as ever – just as if she fell asleep five minutes ago. We are all beginning to wonder if she will ever become her old self again.
I'll let you know the outcome of tomorrow's meeting.

|Ewha Womans University Medical Center director Lee Soon-nam
Ewha medical experts will deliver a talk on various issues, such as maintaining brain health and preventing women's diseases, next Monday at the hospital. The Kyunghyang Shinmun journalist will also give a lecture on how to make life happier in the discussion forum, which will be hosted by movie director Lee Suk-gyung.
A choir comprised of breast cancer patients and their families and an acoustic band called Exciting Island will perform for the celebration.
No reservations are required for the free health lecture and talk show. For the first 400 attendees of the event, various gift vouchers will be offered for medical checkups, ultrasound tests for breast and thyroid cancer, sushi restaurants and movies.
Ewha has been a pioneer in treating women-focused cancers and conducting prompt medical checkups for women.
"The center has become the No. 1 hospital for female patients in five years as it started to separate women from male patients to offer more convenience and comfort to women," said Ewha Womans University Medical Center director Lee Soon-nam.
"Our one-stop service allows patients to finish the whole medical process in less than a week, from medical checkup to surgery."
Ewha Medical Center has launched a women's health campaign since March under the theme of "making women happier and society healthier."
The event is sponsored by private insurer AIG, water purifier Chungho Nais and sushi restaurant Todai's Mok-dong branch.

text: My first post. I am researching the CK 28's and 33's. I cruised 10k miles on a solid hull 38' Taiwan built boat in the early 90's and have been out of the cruising game since (busy raising a family). The last of the kids will be in college soon and I am ready to head back out! I have read all I can regarding the Freedoms and feel they are ideal for a single hander with occasional guests. My hesitations are regarding the cored hulls and CF masts. I wanted to ask those who have refit and/or cruised the smaller CK's. Is it easy to find replacement Aluminum masts if needed? Do all older cored boats suffer from at least some de-lamination? How hard is it to tackle the repair of de-lamination? How do you find them to be as long term cruising boats? This one is kind of random but, do CK's hobby horse going to windward because of the mast being so far forward? My plans are to cruise as far north as Newfoundland, south to the Caribbean on a seasonal basis for a while and then venture further if the desire is there. Thanks for your input!

WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors asked a judge on Tuesday to sentence James E. Cartwright, a retired Marine Corps general and former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to two years in prison for lying to F.B.I. agents about his discussions with reporters about Iran's nuclear program.
The Justice Department's request to Judge Richard J. Leon, of Federal District Court for the District of Columbia, was significantly harsher than what prosecutors had agreed was the normal sentencing guideline range — a year of probation to six months in prison — when General Cartwright pleaded guilty to that charge in October to settle a four-year leak investigation.
Although the general was convicted only on a charge of lying to investigators as part of his plea deal, prosecutors argued that his case should be seen as a leak case and that a two-year sentence would serve as a deterrent by showing "that disclosing such information to persons not authorized to receive it has severe consequences."
Lawyers for General Cartwright told the judge their client should not go to prison. They said he had already suffered grievous damage to his reputation and significant lost income and should be sentenced to a year of probation and 600 hours of community service.
"The enormous consequences to General Cartwright of this prosecution and his very public fall from grace already have been more than sufficient to warn others to be truthful in speaking with federal investigators," they wrote.
Judge Leon has set a sentencing hearing date for Jan. 31.
The leak investigation into General Cartwright, who left government in 2011, began in June 2012 after David E. Sanger, a reporter for The New York Times, published a book, Confront and Conceal, and a related article in The Times that provided details about Operation Olympic Games, an American-Israeli covert effort to sabotage Iranian nuclear centrifuges with the so-called Stuxnet computer virus.
According to the government's sentencing memo, F.B.I. agents came to focus on General Cartwright as a possible source for Mr. Sanger's reporting, as well as for a February 2012 Newsweek article by Daniel Klaidman that also discussed cyberattacks against Iran. But when agents interviewed the retired general about the book and articles on Nov. 2, 2013, he lied about his discussions with the journalists.
The memo said agents then showed General Cartwright email exchanges between him and the two reporters that contradicted his account, and as he read them, "his speech became slurred and he subsequently slumped over in his chair and lost consciousness." The general was taken to a hospital, and when the interview resumed three days later, he admitted discussing classified information with them, it said.
General Cartwright and his lawyers have argued that he talked with the reporters for the purpose of shaping stories they had already reported out and preventing publication of more damaging information. Prosecutors expressed doubt, saying he did not articulate that explanation when the F.B.I. talked to him in November 2013.
Still, the defense submitted a letter from Mr. Sanger in which he noted that the existence of the Stuxnet virus had been publicly known since 2010, and he said he had already talked to "many sources in the United States, Europe and Israel" before his discussions with General Cartwright, who he said had expressed concerns about the revelation of certain secrets that influenced him when deciding what to withhold from publication.
The defense also submitted a sealed letter from Mr. Klaidman and numerous letters from lawmakers and current and former executive branch officials who urged leniency in light of the general's career of public service.

Steve Bratt, CEO of New World Wide Web Foundation, Details Plans To Make the Web More Usable in the Developing World
Only 25 percent of adults around the world have access to a computer that they can use to reach the Web. But 75 percent have access to a mobile phone. So the simplest way to open up the wealth of information on the Web to more people would be to make it usable via voice connections—for instance, through some combination of speech synthesis and speech recognition technologies and voice-driven interfaces customized for each region.
Making that happen will be the first mission for the new World Wide Web Foundation, officially launched November 15 by Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the Web and the director of the Cambridge, MA-based World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Berners-Lee unveiled the foundation's plans in a speech before the Internet Governance Forum, a non-governmental organization meeting this week in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. (Watch the video.)
It was 20 years ago this year that Berners-Lee proposed the Web's basic markup language (HTML), its data protocol (HTTP), and its system of document addresses (URLs). "The thing that made the Web work then and the most important thing about it today is its universality," Berners-Lee said in his speech. "Two Webs doesn't work. It has to be one Web for all sorts of information, no matter what hardware you have, no matter who you buy your computer from, and now more importantly, no matter what sort of device you have."
The basic tenet behind the Web Foundation is that the Web can empower people around the world to help themselves, if only barriers of language, literacy, location, and income can be overcome. The foundation's first efforts in this direction will include support for an emerging discipline it's calling "Web science," as well as collaborations with VU University in Amsterdam and the Center for Digital Inclusion in Brazil focusing on the deployment of Web-based mobile communications technologies among farmers in Africa and schoolchildren in South and Central America and elsewhere.
A non-profit founded in 2008 and operating largely under the radar until now, the Web Foundation is subsisting for the time being on a five-year, $5 million seed grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The organization (which is not using the acronym WWWF, perhaps to avoid confusion with the World Wildlife Fund and the World Wrestling Federation) is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. But its CEO, Steve Bratt—formerly the CEO of the W3C—is working from a newly opened office in Boston's downtown financial district.
Bratt met with Xconomy on Monday morning for his first detailed Q&A session about the creation of the Foundation, the philosophy of its early projects, and his and Berners-Lee's ambitious plans for making the Web more accessible. Part 1 of our interview appears here; we'll publish Part 2 on Wednesday.
Xconomy: What's the mission of the World Wide Web Foundation, and how is it different from the mission of the World Wide Web Consortium?
Steve Bratt: Our overarching theme is empowering people through the Web—giving people the power through the Web to accomplish their own goals. It's about helping people, not just having cool technologies. You never hear Tim Berners-Lee give a talk without talking about the universality of the Web. So the foundation is a direct reflection of Tim's desire to make the Web a more democratic space for everybody. We talked about just having the W3C expand, maybe by having a research group and an in-the-field group, but sometimes it's better to keep to your mission, and W3C is focused on the technical aspects of Web standards. We can focus on the problems people have and the challenges, and hopefully help organizations like W3C or the Web Science Trust work on research and standards to address those needs.
X: How long has the foundation been in the works, and where did the idea come from?
SB: I would say in 2007 we started talking about what more we could do. By April of 2008 we had presented the idea for the World Wide Web Foundation to the W3C advisory committee. We had a lot of support—they thought it was a great idea, and that it was good for it to be separate. Then, May 2008 was when we had our first contact with the Knight Foundation. They are all about the future of news and journalism, and they believe the Web is critical to the future of not just the profession but the whole notion of how you convey information to people. So that was really quite miraculous that we made that connection, and that they shared our vision of the Web as an empowering agent. In September they announced a seed grant of $5 million over five years. We got the first payment on that in January of this year. And finally, I left my job at W3C in July.
X: Why was it so important for the foundation to be a separate entity?
SB: W3C itself is a complicated organization. It's actually a partnership between MIT and a European consortium called ERCIM and Keio University; that is the legal basis. So already, there was that complication of how do you create a new non-profit entity. But also, from a business point of view, W3C does a good job and people in the technical areas appreciate what they're doing. Here at the foundation we can focus on things that people believe in, things that people think are important. We don't have to take on all the controversies in the world right away, but we definitely want to take up challenges that people are not paying attention to.
A good example would be putting more money into things like internationalization, which is something that all the W3C members think is important, but they don't have a lot of resources to put into it. Also accessibility and making the Web more available for people with low reading skills. A billion adults in the world can't read, so a written Web isn't going to be used by them.
X: What are the issues where you think the foundation can make the biggest difference?
SB: A lot of people are working on global Internet connectivity and on getting laptops and other hardware into developing countries. Those things are important, but what's driven the Web revolution has really been content—creating and sharing and linking to content. No one is focusing on that side of it as much as we'd like. So we identified three things. First, a content gap. A lot of life-critical content is not available to people in ways that they can access it. We don't want to give people content, we want to train them in how to develop systems to create their own content.
Second, there's another gap we call the research gap. We don't really understand how the Web works. Tim says all the time that the Web is not just technology, it's humanity connected by technology. But when somebody creates a link here, how does it affect life over there? When somebody uses the Web to spread a rumor here, how does it affect the stock of a company over there? There are sociologists and modern anthropologists and computer scientists studying these things, but the idea is to pull these together into a single discipline that we're calling Web science. The analogy is to cognitive science, where you pull together biologists and neurologists and psychologists who are all studying the notion of how the brain gives rise to consciousness. We want to take the results of Web science and hopefully get that into the field to help people—so that over time we have a better Web and can address its inefficiencies.
Third is the standards or technology gap. What is there in the Web today that inhibits it from reaching its full potential? In some cases the Web inhibits people from using it because it doesn't support their language, or because they have low literacy skills or disabilities. Also, anywhere that proprietary technologies start to take a dominant role would be a concern for us. You can't have a Web just for a certain country or a certain model of phone, the way the mobile industry seemed to be going a few years ago.
X: But if you'll forgive me asking, wouldn't you agree that one of the great things about the Web is its openness and plasticity? Most of the really amazing things that people have done with the Web have come from the grassroots, from people taking on big challenges for themselves. So why not simply wait for Web users to come up with solutions to the gaps that you're talking about? Why do you think the world needs another big centralized foundation to do that?
SB: Well, it hasn't happened yet, that's one thing. There aren't people focusing on these particular issues, specifically in developing countries. Also, these are things that eventually need to be addressed at a global level—they have to become part of the Web standards stack or the Web guidelines stack. A good example would be illiteracy. There are a number of groups that have come up with systems to make the Web more accessible to the illiterate, some involving iconography, some involving voice. And we think that is really important, by the way. But if every website does this differently you will have a mess. You want a standard convention for developing countries to follow, so that browsing the Web is not a complete nightmare for people with low literacy. We need to get enough funding together and the right people together to build a consensus around the best system.
Very importantly, we don't see ourselves as dictating the future of the Web at all. We want to accelerate things that are already starting to happen in particular places. The Web can't be directed by any one organization. Be we can hopefully accelerate good things that are not being driven by anyone else.
In Part 2 of our interview, coming tomorrow, Bratt talks about the Web Foundation's specific projects in Africa and South America, the role of voice technologies, and the group's fundraising plans.

Well, what can we say? That was another EPIC Femmes Fatales Cup. The fourth one and, we think, the best so far! The weather didn't dampen our sprits and certainly didn't effect the shooting, because we saw some unbelievable displays of skill from many of the competitors and of course the novices.
Firstly, a massive 'Thank You' goes to Dylan Williams, Katie Absalom, Amber Taylor who took care of everything for us in the run up to the event and indeed on the day – Along with the team of friendly and instructors and coaches who helped make the shoot run smoothly and fabulously from start to finish. We cannot emphasise just how professional the entire team are and how well they do what they do. Absolute perfection!
This year's event was hosted and organised by Andrea Pinnock from DryFire and Katherine Gibbard from R&K Stockcraft who I'm sure you'll all agree did an incredible job!
We were thrilled to be joined not only at the shoot, but at the party the night before, by some of the generous sponsors and supporters whose passion for championing women in all aspects of shooting is extremely encouraging. So to the team from Le Chameau, we say a huge thank you! Alexandra from Jinx & Jive brought some of her gorgeous new clothing items to showcase plus shooting the 80 Bird Competition with us were event sponsors Ally Stevenson from Clean Heels and Patricia K Pritchard. Having them on board not only as sponsors, but cheering on the shooters on the day made the event even more perfect.
Alistair from Caesar Guerini came along with some beautiful shotguns on display – along with some really cool prizes to present to the highest scoring lady using a CG shotgun – Anna Wooster who used her 'Syren' to put in a score of 60/80.
The Experienced Category
The main event, the 80 Bird English Sporting competition which included a 12 Bird Grouse Sequence was won by seventeen-year-old Amy Easeman from Buckinghamshire who scored a cracking 78/70, securing her third Femmes Fatales Cup Champion title! Amy took home the 2018 trophy along with a stunning pheasant print by wildlife artist Clare Shaw, a pair of Le Chameau Vierzonord wellington boots, a shotgun necklace by Hi Ho Silver, a £75 Patricia K Pritchard voucher and Handbag Charm, a gorgeous fur collar by Jinx & Jive, plus 'Purdey: 200 Years of Excellence' the definitive history of Purdey who recently acquired the Royal Berkshire Shooting School.
Runner-Up was Sussex shot Hannah Gibson, former British Open Sporting Champion, who scored 72 and was presented with prizes from Gamebore Cartridge Company, Patricia K Pritchard and Hi Ho Silver. Helen McKenna also took home some prizes from our fantastic sponsors after scoring 67/80 finishing in 3rd place in the Experienced Category.
The Intermediate Category
Our 'Intermediate' ladies shot the same 80 targets as the Experienced group, but we saw some impressive scores nonetheless – With Chloe Thornton from Lancashire taking the top spot with an overall score of 67. Chloe's prize haul included some Le Chameau Vierzonord wellington boots, a Clare Shaw silk scarf, a fur Jinx & Jive collar, a HiHo Silver necklace and tickets to The Game Fair as well as the coveted Femmes Fatales trophy.

Thoughts on Prayer from a Non-Calvinist
Sometimes I wonder "What is the point of supplication?" Don't get me wrong, I do pray. I believe that reading His Word and fellowshipping with the saints is how we hear from Him ... and prayer and praise is how He hears from us. I do think it is pretty important for our relationship. So when He hears from me it is usually made up of thanksgiving/praise and simply sharing with God what is on my heart and mind etc... (as if He didn't know already anyway). From my diminutive understanding, thanksgiving and praise is the best communication because it offers God that which He asks for. This kind of prayer is not about me asking. It makes perfect sense to me to offer God this thanksgiving and praise - He is so great and awesome ... and He has given me so much in Christ!
... It is the supplication part that I get all mixed up with.
I was thinking about this last night and talking with my husband. This is kind of silly, but I was telling John about the night before ... and how, when I laid the baby down in his bassinet at 11:00 pm, I said, "God, please let Levi sleep until 5:00 am." Then, I thought, "Maybe I should ask for 6:00 am, just in case God answers yes." (greedy, I know)
I told John that when the baby woke up at 5:15 am, I was most pleasantly surprised.
We were having the conversation about all of this last night and I concluded by saying, "Isn't that weird? Was that God granting my desire ... or was it just a coincidence?"
My husband knows the long-standing struggle I have with this issue (why ask for God to do things when He is going to do whatever is in His will, etc... you know...)
So, my husband says to me, "You Calvinists ...." and he chuckled.
That was especially funny to me. I think of myself as about the farthest thing from a Calvinist. Yet, my husband has a point. If I can't pray believing that God has some wiggle room in His will to grant requests or intercede in the life of a loved one, then my view of His will is very static, which is exactly how I think the Calvinist views the "will of God" - as very static.
As we talked about this, my husband assured me that Calvinists pray, not to change the mind of God, but to "get their minds in line with God's will."
I, of course, replied, "How does asking God to save such and such ... or soften so and so's heart ... or asking Him for anything ... cause one to 'get in line with God's will' ... when so and so may not be part of God's 'elect' ... and my desires may be totally off-base with His plan?"
I really do find that to be a quandary. If I, being a non-Calvinist, am mystified as to the practical purpose of supplication, how does a determinist find it in his mind to ask anything of God?
BTW, I am aware of the fact that we should ask God because the Bible says we should. I am just wondering about the practical understanding of how it all fits together. See?
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; (Ephesians 6:18)
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. (Philippians 4:6)
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; (1 Timothy 2:1)

text: Share: Comments Print August 20, 2014 at 7:00 AM Top 10 foods for runners: Expert offers tips to fuel your body Posted by Don Shelton BY CHRISTINE BLANCHETTE To eat or not to eat used to be my dilemma during summer, especially being a runner. It was a challenge because often it was too hot to eat anything. I'd have to carefully analyze what I was about to consume and how long to wait before running. With my sensitive stomach threatening dire consequences should I make the wrong decision, I learned that a light meal combined with a two-hour wait was appropriate. Even better was simply to eat after the run instead. Basically, I had to change my eating habits. I learned when it was too hot to eat or choosing the wrong foods made me feel sluggish during the run. Instead I wanted to lay low and avoid any exercise. If I decided to run, the trails felt like quicksand for lack of energy. I felt heavy on my feet, struggling to stay motivated. Balancing my running with sensible eating was a constant issue until I learned about the best summer foods to eat. Now with summer temperatures upon us, making good food choices before or after a run can help you cool off while improving your running performance. It can be the difference in your energy level and perhaps give you that endorphin rush that makes you feel as if you could run all day without getting tired. Choosing the right foods and drinking enough water is the key to your overall health and to a more enjoyable run. Now add the warmth of a summer sun with a light breeze and you are in runner heaven. Don't forget to apply sun screen. According to "Runner's World Complete Guide to Running," seafood is a good choice because it's an excellent source of protein. Runners need about 50 percent more protein than non-runners. As a seasoned runner, I've gravitated to certain foods that help with my training, like boiled eggs. Eggs contain amino acids, which muscles need to promote recovery. Also, a good summer soup is something to consider but try to avoid the creamy ones that contain more fat. Vancouver's Crystal Higgins, a registered dietician and marathoner, offered her expert advice on which foods are best to eat during the summer. "The top 10 foods for summer runners overall is to have high nutrient density including more omega-3s and antioxidants (which help fight inflammation and may improve recovery time). Hydration is very important, especially during the hot summer months. Have one to two cups minimum of water 30 to 45 minutes before running and a few sips every 15 to 20 minutes while running. Lots after! Urine should be pale to almost clear." Here are Higgins' top 10 summer foods: 1. Watermelon: hydrating, cooling, has lycopene (anti-oxidant) 2. Fresh strawberries/raspberries: vitamin C, antioxidants and fiber – delicious and local with little sugar 3. Oatmeal with banana or blueberries: Pre-run balanced meal that tends to be easily digested. This is my go-to meal 4. Unsweetened cocoa powder (non-alkali): flavonoids, which may reduce blood pressure, cholesterol and reduce sun-damage/inflammation without sugar and an easy addition to smoothie or home-made cocoa. Rich in iron and magnesium 5. Salmon: omega-3 rich protein source. Substitute salmon burgers for beef burgers 6. Chia seeds: Crsystal's favorite seed. Rich in omega 3's, calcium and soluble fiber. Great added to smoothies, yogurt or oatmeal 7. Pistachios: salty snack after a workout, great lower carb replacement for chips. There are only 160 calories in 49 pistachios. 8. Avocados: vitamin E, heart-healthy fats and a good replacement for cream, mayo or cheese for BBQ season 9. Collard greens: the highest "green" source of calcium. Important for muscle contraction 10. Clams: extremely high in iron, low in fat and an easy addition to soups, curry and casseroles Be cool and keep running!

Yes that's right, the dates speak for themselves. I fell off the blogging bandwagon. I don't suppose there's a PostAYear challenge (just kidding)? Now, I can either beat myself up about this for a really long time or kick myself once and just tell you what I've been up to (in a series of posts). Obviously though, I need to figure out how to make blogging like an addiction; if I miss a week, I do what's necessary to get my fix. How do all of you daily/weekly bloggers do it?
Needless to say, it has been a pretty busy past couple of months for me, juggling my jobs, volunteer activities, and always learning stuff. I even made a discovery, but we'll save that for another day. One event in particular that encompassed a week was Student Life Camp at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach. Even though our church (White Chapel) is in South Daytona, we decided to make it like a real trip for the Youth. Church members/Parents graciously hosted kids at their homes and I was a chaperone at someone else's home. It was a great week. I got to know some of the kids better and I think they got closer with each other as well.
Student Life had morning and evening sessions while we did things in between, like volunteer and have a photo scavenger hunt. However, I'm going to share a few photos related to the times spent at the Ocean Center, most of which have been included in My Behance Portfolio.

ROCCAT Kone Plus, the max customization gaming mouse, launched in the UAE
Dubai, July 10, 2011 – ROCCAT, the young Hamburg-based manufacturer of gaming peripherals,
has announced the launch of the new ROCCAT™ Kone[+] (Kone Plus)- Max Customization Gaming
Mouse in the UAE. ROCCAT™ products are exclusively distributed in the UAE & rest of Middle East
region by Uber Technologies, a leading provider of gaming and IT peripherals.
The ROCCAT Kone[+] - Max Customization Gaming Mouse packs a huge amount of performance
under its hood thanks to the use of the revolutionary 6000dpi Pro-Aim Laser Sensor R2.
"The ROCCAT™ Kone[+] is more than the sum of its parts. The successor to the award-winning Kone
is the result of many years' experience in engineering and industrial design, plus extensive feedback
from the gaming community. Never before has perfectly formed design and high-performance
technology been so closely intertwined. A clear focus on gamers' needs has given rise to a mouse
that is packed with unique innovations and an unprecedented range of customizable configuration
options", said Mr. Ganesh Venugopal, Head of Sales - UBER Technologies.
The ROCCAT™ Kone[+] is priced at approx. AED 550 and is available at all leading retail outlets.
In conjunction with its 10.5 megapixel resolution and 1000Hz polling rate, the Pro-Aim Laser Sensor
offers maximum precision, even transmitting lightning fast mouse movements with up to 30Gs of
acceleration and with speeds of up to 200ips (5.08m/s) without loss or lag. Thanks to the Tracking &
Distance Control Unit (TDCU), which is now integrated in the laser sensor, the ROCCAT™ Kone[+],
can also control lift-off distance as well as fine-tunethe sensor to suit the Mousepad for optimal
In addition, really efficient core improvements to the mouse wheel and surrounding buttons increase
the ease of use of the new Kone[+].
The introduction of the EasyShift[+] Button makes it possible to assign two functions to each button,
like using the Shift key on a keyboard. For instance, the eight programmable buttons plus the mouse
wheel can now directly trigger an unparalleled 22 mouse functions – with all the buttons remaining
easily accessible. A second button can be used for the EasyAim function. While the EasyAim button
is held depressed, a preselected DPI setting is automatically switched to – really useful in situations
such as when precise in-game aiming is called for, where lower DPI settings are quickly required. It
really lives up to its name. The EasyWheel function works in the same way and can be used to control
the Aero Flip 3D feature in Windows 7, among other things.
The feature-rich driver has been further enhanced with additional innovative functions making it
possible to customize the mouse to suit individual needs like no other mouse.
The light system remains unbeaten. Four Multicolor LEDs, together with the enhanced lightpipes and
configurable effects, can light up, alternate or pulsate in more than four different colors at the same
time. It's a real eye-catcher on any desktop.
The accompanying Macro Manager makes creating custom command sequences really easy.
Predefined Macro Presets for the top 20 PC games as well as several office apps make it even
easier to customize the mouse – plus the new Loop Function now makes it possible to loop macros
All the settings can be saved in five Game Profiles on the mouse's 576KB of on-board memory, and
linked to games and apps, allowing button configurations, lighting set-ups and DPI settings, etc., to
be automatically loaded when the game is started. A Windows Profile then automatically switches the
Kone[+] back to the previously selected default setting as soon as the game is exited.
On top of that, there's the unique sound feedback system. The famous ROCCAT voice gives
immediate feedback when DPI settings, profiles, the volume level or the sensitivity setting is changed.
Furthermore, a Weight System comprising 4 x 5g weights is included, allowing gamers to customize
the weight to suit their preferences.

PRO-AIM Laser Sensor R2 (up to 6000dpi)

A Different Kind of Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day. A holiday filled with candy hearts, flowers and romance. Opinions range from enjoyment to pure dread when it comes to this day. Personally, for the majority of my life, I have found the fanaticism in either direction confusing.
As the date of February 14th begins to grow closer, the conversation of what Jei and I would do to celebrate has come up. Initially, I found myself perplexed at how to respond. So I took a moment to think why my perspective was different. And then I remembered. Robert Downey Jr. and his dancing, singing and acting from years ago came into my life and changed the way I looked at the heart filled holiday. That's right, I'm talking about the 1993 film known as "Heart and Souls." An adorable movie with lovable ghosts, great dance numbers, and a family friendly message. Just the memory warms my heart.
While I could go on and on with a film review about a movie from the early 90's, the true focus should be on my dedicated mother and her influence on my enlightened opinion concerning St. Valentine's. I can still recall when I fully grasped her actual intent. It had been a particularly bad day for me, the attempted exchange of fun-filled little cards during class had ended with less than half a dozen in my own decorated box. As I lamented over my lack of secret admirers, I made my way home. Immediately my spirits were lifted as I saw the package of candy and a sweetly-written card left for me by my mother.
The annual dedication of motherly love struck me in a way that it hadn't in years prior. The tradition of a card, candy and the Heart and Souls movie was her way of showing me that the holiday was about a simpler kind of love. Not the kind of love that could be commercialized, bought or printed on a card. Instead, it was about our loved ones and the act of showing them, in whatever way we could, that they were appreciated.
To this day I have taken that lesson to heart. I don't need flowers, romance or an exotic vacation. I was never bitter or angry when I was single. I simply remembered that Valentine's Day was about giving and receiving love from all of those in my life.
So this Valentine's Day I will continue that tradition. I will sit down, enjoy Heart and Souls like I did so long ago, and be grateful for the love I have in my life.
