We are in Wilkesboro, NC, right now doing an area-wide youth event in a great little theater at the local community college. Wilkesboro is a cool town with one of the best coffee shops we have ever been to while out on the road.
Last night we had some bad weather come through while we were starting the service. The band was just about to finish the next-to-last song when all of a sudden… darkness and silence filled the room. (Well… relative silence anyway since there were about 500 teenagers in the room.)
Apparently the stormy weather and 70 MPH winds knocked out the power for most of Wilkesboro. After getting everyone (mostly) under control Craig preached about "light" and then we dismissed everyone before the emergency lights ran out of battery power.
After the excitement at the Walker Center, we all headed over to a beautiful house by on a lake for a late-night dinner. On our way we came across a downed tree across the road. What do seven guys do when their path is blocked by a tree? Grunt a lot and then move the tree, of course.
Here is where the story gets fun for me. I had the privilege of being on the end furthest away from the roots (the pivot) so my end of the tree moved the most. As we approached the end of "the big move" the rest of the guys decided to toss the tree away from them and onto the ground. Apparently, I didn't get the memo and so I ended up going with the tree. A quick somersaulty-flippy thing later and I was landing semi-face-first in the soft, cold mud.
I only wish someone had a video camera to catch the whole thing. Today I feel like a crash test dummy. I don't think my body was meant to move like that. I'm sure there is a lesson to be learned here, but right now I have no idea what it is. Thoughts?

Fastly Quotes
To this then go on inviting, and go on steadfastly on the right way as you are commanded, and do not follow their low desires, and say: I believe in what Allah has revealed of the Book, and I am commanded to do justice between you: Allah is our Lord and your Lord; we shall have our deeds and you shall have your deeds; no plea need there be (now) between us and you: Allah will gather us together, and to Him is the return. - Quran
The need for health care reform is clear. Mayo Clinic steadfastly holds to our primary value that 'the needs of the patient come first.' Our unique strength lies in bringing together leading medical experts from diverse fields to find the best integrated solutions for patients' complex health concerns. - Denis Cortese
The man who succeeds above his fellows is the one who early in life, clearly discerns his object, and towards that object habitually directs his powers. Even genius itself is but fine observation strengthened by fixity of purpose. Every man who observes vigilantly and resolves steadfastly grows unconsciously into genius. - Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: / And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: / But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. - Bible

Learn how cholesterol affects your heart and why it isn't the dangerous culprit we have been led to believe.
Did You Know 75% of All Heart Attack Patients Have Normal to Low Cholesterol Levels?
Yes, you read that correctly. Recently, a 6-year long study involving 136,000 people came out with the conclusion that 75% of all heart attack patients had normal to low cholesterol levels. Currently cholesterol lowering drugs (statins) are the most popular drugs in the US, with profits exceeding the 10 billion dollar mark. Reading this study, you would think that this would help change the theory that cholesterol causes heart attacks and heart disease, and that maybe cholesterol isn't the culprit we should all be worried about. WRONG! The doctor in charge of this study works for the pharmaceutical industry, so instead of coming up with a reasonable conclusion, he suggests that the current guidelines may not be low enough. Just what we need, more drugs!
The Truth About Cholesterol
Cholesterol is hugely important for our body. It is vital for:
- Hormone Production
- Tissue Repair
- Proper Neurological Function
- Memory
- Uptake of Hormones in the Brain
- Immune Function
- Vitamin D Synthesis
- Healing and Repair
- Digestion
- Cancer and Aging Protection
- Preventing Depression and Anxiety
These are just a few of the benefits of cholesterol. We need cholesterol for proper functioning. The thought that we are the only species on the planet who somehow cannot regulate their own cholesterol levels is head scratching. It is more of a ploy to increase cholesterol medication sales, which I remind you is a multi-billion dollar industry.
Why Are My Cholesterol Levels High?
Now it's important to understand that cholesterol doesn't just rise on its own. In addition, it is not bad genes that cause high cholesterol either. Stress causes our cholesterol levels to rise. Therefore, if we are trying to correct the cause of high cholesterol, we have to look at our lifestyle. Simply put, if we are giving the body what it needs and removing anything toxic, we will be healthy. The assumption that we should medicate the body with an artificial toxic chemical to lower our cholesterol levels without addressing the cause (our lifestyle) is ignorant at best.

just came back from a long weekend in Winter Park, Colorado.
Jen and I went to visit our rockstar culinary Shana who's cooking in kitchens and snowboarding every chance she gets. [photos by JH]
we went for her 23rd birthday
along the way, we fought off nature,
warmed ourselves by a bonfire,
attempted to bake,
and french-braid,
but mostly caught up on sleep.Indy, the cutest dog ever, joined us one ridiculously lazy afternoon
but quickly resume drinking.
one great thing about winter park, CO: $1 shots
there are perhaps too many pictures of these, i claim the right one, jen has the left
it was a good time had by all.
Colorado was beautiful, it was nice to go someplace where everyone knew everybody, food was delicious (homemae bagels, which you can't even get in DC!), drinks were cheap and people just hung out to chill and have a good time. it was a most relaxing, gluttonous and fun reunion. i really like how much we've stayed in touch, and made an effort to see each other after graduation, despite all of us living in different places of the country and the world. these are the girls i'm hoping to open the B2 bakery/bar with – Shana in the kitchen, Jen having designed the space, and me being the bar, of course.

Almond cookies with orange & pistachio
I haven't baked cookies in a long time. I think it was because I always ended up with butter on everything after a cookie episode and, let's face it – the humble cookie was cast aside by its flamboyant, well-dressed cousin, the cupcake. However, I'm happy to share a new cookie recipe that I really enjoyed making. This one came out of a brief – what do you give to some new neighbours that you don't know? And cookies seemed to be the most inoffensive, least climate-sensitive option. I made these as plain almond biscuits first, but found they were too strong on the almond flavour. With the addition of a new texture and the zesty orange I think these are a real crowd pleaser. They're a little bit like a (traditional) macaron, or the Italians amaretti biscuit – and almost taste a little bit like a flourless orange cake(!). The dough itself is really easy to make, the rolling does take a bit of extra effort but the way they look coming out of the oven… I think it's worth it. It's also worth mentioning that these cookies are gluten-free, use just the egg whites, and have nuts and fruit, meaning they are only a little bit naughty.
Yields about 30 cookies
240g almond meal
200g caster sugar
3 egg whites
1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste
1/3 cup pistachios (peeled)
zest of one orange
Chop the pistachios into small pieces, roughly each nut into three. I like them to retain some texture, but they shouldn't affect the overall shape of the biscuits. Preheat the oven to 170°C/325°F.
Weigh out and combine the almond meal, caster sugar, pistachios and orange zest in a large bowl. Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites to a firm peak.
Add 1/3 of the egg whites and the vanilla bean paste (or essence) to the mix and mix well. Trying not to overmix, add the rest of the egg whites gently until the mixture is evenly combined.
This is what my cookie dough looked like – it's soft and just holds together, but not overly wet or oily. Prepare two bowls for rolling, one with caster sugar and one with a small amount of icing sugar.
Roll the cookie dough into small balls, about 3-4cm in diameter and drop them into the caster sugar bowl. I know it seems like a bit of overkill to roll them in two types of sugar – but there is a reason! The caster sugar creates a chewy layer under the icing sugar, and I've reduced the amount of sugar in the recipe to account for the sweet exterior so it balances out in the end.
In the second layer of sugar, try to get as much on the cookies, rolling from one hand to the other and gently pressing icing sugar into the surface. The trick is to get an even, visible layer of sugar on each cookie.
Line baking trays with baking sheet and press gently with a flat utensil to get some cracks along the sides. This will ensure the cookies grow and crack along the sides and maintain a nice flat top.
Leave a little room between each cookie to allow for them to expand – here they are just before they go into the oven!
Bake for about 15 minutes, they are ready when they have a little golden brown colour on the tops. It's best not to overbake these, since the combination of crunchy exterior + chewy texture is the best part!
As tempting as it is to eat them straight out of the oven, it's best to cool them first (they get even chewier as they cool down). Of course, it's ok to have a customary taste to "make sure they are cooked".
And here's what they look like inside! I like to make sure there are pistachios in each cookie – and I love how the orange zest really cuts through the almond meal.

I read anything and everything
When I started reading "If I Break", by Portia Moore @Sheluvspink2013 my first reaction was c'mon, no one can be that weak-kneed in love until I started reading with a different insight: this book is only about the emotions the subject of the book is feeling. It's the raw emotional journey of Lauren Brooks narrated in the first person, stripped of everything extraneous. Once I realised this, the book was an absorbing emotional roller coaster. This is a very brave and challenging book, with no happy ending (yet). I've bought the next two books in the series.

One of the interesting things I have noticed about the east coast is people do not ordinarily have fencing around their homes.
It is quite common for a neighborhood to have vast open space between houses.
You can clearly see into anyone's yard, even when they have a pool.
Coming from California, this seems virtually unthinkable. We live in a state where privacy is only secondary to preventing a lawsuit.
We would never think of having our back yards exposed to everyone's eye's or, at a minimum, to everyone's animals who have no sense of boundaries.
If you don't set up a perimeter around your property, you know that many things can happen.
You could look at the lack of a fence as an opportunity to know your neighbors, really well, maybe too well if you aren't careful, but mostly, you realize that not setting up a boundary could afford you a lot of pain.
If someone came into your yard, uninvited, you may be faced with confronting them to leave.
If someone's animal wasn't under the owner's control, you could suffer damage.
If you have a pool or other water feature, it could be a hazard to children who do not know how to swim.
Sometimes our lives represent a yard with no fence.
People fail to erect proper boundaries and the negativity of their neighbors encroach on them. If you allow your friends, family and workmates into your metaphorical yard, you could have a lot of safety issues on your hands.
Do you find yourself feeling overworked, overused and generally underwhelmed when you see some people? Do you have a hard time saying no to people? Are you always the person who is stepping up to the plate to do whatever someone asks?
You may be a really focused person who uses giving back to the world as platform for your self worth, or you may be someone with no boundaries.
Even the most nurturing person on the planet has moments when they feel like a worn out, crusty sponge. A sponge can give and give moisture, but after it has been squeezed too many times, it simply can't give anymore. Many of you have crusty sponge syndrome.
The best way to create a natural giving/ take cycle is to have proper boundaries.
People who have developed a helpers mindset (people like me) often times equate their value based on what they do for others.
At some point in their life, they were rewarded in some way for doing things for others and it became part of the their love language.
They express their love for others by doing things and gain their sense of acceptance by being rewarded for doing things.
Perhaps you see this trait in yourself?
If you do, you must realize that you have to have boundaries or at some point you will become frustrated with many people in your life. You will begin to feel used instead of appreciated and it will be your own fault.
People will come to expect your brand of love and even the most energetic of people can't manage giving all of the time.
It causes confusion in your world when you try to shut off the giving flow. People think something is wrong or try to push you to do what you always do and you feel even more pressure to please them at your expense.
If you want a life that feels harmonious with your giving nature, create a metaphorical fence around you.
Set boundaries and make sure they are clearly marked and you will be able to keep the neighborhood dogs from pooping on your lawn.

It was only after the departure of Brigham from Hawaii, where he was raised, that he began to see a future. work with wood. When he was 18, Brigham moved to California, where his parents and one sister were already living, and enrolled in Cuesta College. He soon realized that the school was not working for him and started working for his uncle John Brigham, who sold parts in Carmel and the San Luis Obispo Hands Gallery.
So, here are some tips for finding new customers. When you start a carpentry business, it's a good idea to start an ad on your new concert to your friends and family, but do not feel limited To reach those you know at other times, too. Managing a carpentry business involves finding customers regularly and regularly, and even if your friends and family do not need your services, they may know someone who ballast.
One of them would be the phone that is used for communication and the purpose of contact. A computer system would also be needed to get new technology updates, can be on a daily basis as well. The designs to be glued must be a unique selection. These may be shelves designed to store wine or Chinese chimes. Toys would be an attraction for children. The market that needs to be reached is very large, but you have to look for the cheap market like the need for wood manufacturers.
Wooden toys are a hot selling category for many reasons. They are considered newer, safer than toys made from other materials and they generally last a very long time. The result is that parents and everyone is willing to pay the big price to buy even the simplest of wooden toys as long as they are made from quality wood. As this is a children's item, you need to take extra precautions so that the tie is secure, strong and durable.
Whether they're just getting started, or have been involved with woodworking for a while, many woodworkers wonder what woodworking power tools they should add to their shop.

First of all, Annika is scared of flying bugs. Extraordinarily scared. Or maybe just ordinary scared, I haven't really compared her to any 1 yr 9 month olds other than saben. (he was also scared, but ordinary scared) But...If you heard her, you'd think she had fallen and broken her arm. First...blood curdling screams. Full on screams. Then hysterical sobbing and sobbing as I hold her and comfort her until she finally calms. This happened about five times today and I can only guess what the neighbors are thinking.
Kyle was gone this weekend, 2nd weekend in a row. (for a bike race in port angeles....he got first place last week in Spokane and 3rd place this week. Woo hoo! Except really, he's just there to network, he's not a serious racer. thank goodness.) Yesterday, we went to the farmers market and Saben rode all the way there & back, all by himself on his new glider bike. It was really fun, even though the market was incredibly chaotic & crowded. I did score some leeks, shitakes & mizuna which I used for dinner tonite. More on that later.... The kids scored honey sticks and donut holes. My hair also scored some honey stick when Annika waved her honey hands in my hair.
The rest of the weekend was blissful under the warm spring sun (in the 60's...for the record when I read this later and have forgotten the awesome springy-ness of this weekend) We went to the park, I got to do some serious yardwork & lawn mowing....
Then tonite I was enjoying my filet mignon (on sale at haggens!) and sauteed shitakes & leeks with truffle oil on top of a bed of mizuna when Saben says "There's poop on my train tracks!". Oh bother. Sure enough, Annika's diaper had leaked & the goo was on her hands, on Henry The Train & on the train tracks. So I took a little break from my beefy feast & immersed myself in the poo cleaning. But the best part was sticking both kids in the shower and finishing my dinner in the bathroom. Yum.... Sipping red wine, finishing off my steak, while the kids splashed in our rubbermaid tub, climbed into it - swamping the bathroom & then drank the water they were sitting in. That's always sooooo cute.
And then somehow I was in a good enough mood to give the kids popcorn, let them stay up late watching CARS and wait for Daddy to get home so they could give him hugs. Am I an angel or what? Too much sun I guess.

What is it?
The BarrowVac™ is among the most useful and most sought after accessories in the Ground-Hog™ line. As another "first" from Excavac, it's patented technology provides the advantages of a portable or auxillary collection vessel. This allows the operator to perform vacuum excavations and backfilling in remote areas and sites the are inaccessible to a truck. This is very useful for excavating in basements of buildings. Auxillary uses include pulling materials into separate or larger vessels by utilizing a separate vacuum source.
How does it work?
The BarrowVac™ unit is connected to the main vacuum system, then taken up to 300 feet from the main system to perform the excavation. Because it can go anywhere a wheelbarrow can, vacuum excavation is now possible in virtually any situation that is inaccessible by truck. It can be filled and emptied in a matter of minutes, allowing the operator to conveniently and selectively dump the excavated material in close proximity to the excavation site, or simply transport it elsewhere by wheelbarrow.

It's a known fact that the Oil & Gas industry has always had an abundance of data. The vast majority of drilling sites host a variety of electronic data. Collection and translation of such humongous volumes of data into useful and comprehendible information with least possible lag time is always a challenge. This same challenge was faced by the OMV Tunisia.
Business Technologies (PVT) Ltd's team developed a tailor-built solution for OMV Tunisia to overcome this challenge. A comprehensive tool was provided to the OMV Tunisia team, which had the ability to perform custom-built ELT processes for gathering technical information from various well sites. The collected information was then archived in a RDBMS based system for further analyses and reporting purposes.
Data and Applications Senior Expert at OMV Tunisia
Business Technologies has developed an application which helps us to capture and store the real time data coming from well sites. The data is generated per minute basis and is being recorded 24 hours, 7 days a week. The application with its SQL database helps to store and manage the huge volume of data and also to extract it when required by our engineers. Throughout the development phase, BT team provided high level of service and excellent after sales support. It was BT team's high level of professionalism which helped to deliver the project on time and within the budget.

Saturday I slept in real late, then spent some time writing. Around midday Dar and I went to the community center and *GASP!* worked out at the gym. We did 20 mins on the ellipticals, did a sampling of most of the weight equipment, and finished up with a short jog on the treadmills- my first workout in a gym EVER in my life. Which is even stranger than it sounds, as I've been a regular athlete since I was five. I guess I've always been a bit disdainful of gyms, preferring to get my workout doing sports, preferably outside. But it was hella fun. And we've bought a 20-visit pass, so we'll be going regular, hopefully. Afterwards we loosened up doing a few laps in the pool. I climbed the rope again (which is a lot harder after a hard workout, ohmigod), we went down the waterslide, and then finally boiled our muscles in the hot tub as a preventative measure. I'm sure I'll be sore tomorrow anyway.
Feeling sufficiently like we'd been pummeled by meat tenderizers and injected with happy drugs, we went to pick up Lauren, whose kestrel-catching venture was a bust, alas. Next week, perhaps- fingers crossed! We showered and ate salmon-salad sandwiches and bean salad, and Lauren and I marathoned the very first episodes of Doctor Who (OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH BECCA). We also watched a few episodes of Snuff Box, which is FUCKING BIZARRE and also amazing and awesome.
Today is also the birthday of Jesse Hajicek, one of my favorite writers. As a gift to him I have written a few shorts and drabbles about Star and Zander, the main characters of his fabulous webcomic, Metanoia (for non-Riversiders, you may remember Star from my pr0n earlier this month). Remember those drabbles I asked for, for my Sekrit Projekt? Yeah, this is them. I only had time and inspiration for four, oh well. If you're interested, here they are (cross-posted to riverside_hq), and thank you so much for the prompts!
"Dinner's almost ready. Star… will you find Zander? He's been out for hours…."
A flare of a match in the dark, a growing brilliance and low hiss filling the room as the mantles of the kerosene lantern radiated light and heat. Star shook out the match and adjusted the lantern, lifting it and opening the creaky-hinged door, pressing out into the blackness. The lantern's light illuminated the slowly whirling snowflakes, falling soft and fat to join the unblemished drifts; a memory of the day's late-season howling blizzard, now quiet and gentle in the night.
Bundled up tight against the cold, Star trudged uphill, the warm kerosene glow making shadows dance, pine-tree trunks copied in black bands and rays, shifting and transient on the snow. As he climbed, the pines thinned and fell away; the steep slope curved and flattened toward the horizontal. The sky opened up, expanding in all directions toward the horizon, and Star stood at the crest of the ridge.
The light caught on a single twisted tree, an old tire swing hanging motionless from a gnarled branch; next to it a lone figure stood, just as silent and just as still. He stood staring outward across the prairie, rolling hills visible only in silhouette against the glow of Pine Ridge and of Oglala beyond the horizon, lights reflected and magnified by the low ceiling of snow-heavy clouds.
As Star approached the figure the silence was so overwhelming that the hiss of the lantern and the crunch-squeak of Star's boots in the freshly fallen snow seemed to fill the world. When he spoke his voice seemed unnecessarily loud. "Emily's made dinner, it's almost ready," he said. Alexander nodded, but made no other motion. Star stopped just behind his shoulder and joined him in staring out into the blackness.
After a few quiet moments Alexander turned his head, giving the tire a slight push with one gloved hand so that it swung slowly on the end of its rope, a lazy pendulum. "I used to come here all the time, as a kid," he said.
Star nodded. "It's a nice cabin."
Zander snorted lightly, a soft puff of air. "It's a crappy little shack, it's drafty and it smells like fish," he replied.
Star said nothing.
Zander turned his head toward the glow that was Pine Ridge, and the silence fell heavily with the snow. Then he shook his head. "Stupid," a choked mutter that forced itself from his lips. A deep breath in, a heavy exhalation, then he continued, dully. "So stupid. What was the point? What was the fucking point? I don't- I didn't even like my dad. And he- he sure as hell didn't want anything to do with me. I haven't seen him, or spoken to him in eight years and I've never wanted to. …So why would they- why would the Omega Collective kill him? What would they gain by that?"
There was no answer from Star, and Alexander didn't expect one. He stared hard at the glow from the small reservation town, at the clouds, at the hills, at the snow. He shoved his hands in his pockets, expelling the air from his lungs in a loud huff of air, a dissatisfied sigh. "What was the fucking point?" he muttered again more quietly, to Star, to no one, to God.
Star put his hand on Zan's shoulder, and they stood for a time, listening to the lantern's hiss and watching the snow.
Lexi, Kevin, Gina, Star, and Zander sat sprawled or cross-legged in a circle on the floor. There were several bottles of beer scattered among them, empty and partially full, and cans of soda for Gina and Zan. Gina had somehow persuaded the boys to play "I Never".
She grinned now, thinking. "I neveeeerrr… ran away from home when I was a kid."
Lexi dropped a finger, smirking. "Gina, you are a kid." He was running out of fingers.
Proving her maturity, Gina stuck her tongue out at him. "Am not. Nineteen's adult. Government says so."
Star and Zander both thought for a minute before dropping fingers themselves. "Well, I'm out," smirked Star, reaching for his beer. "What's the dare?"
Later, in their apartment, Zan asked, "Why'd you have to think so long about whether you'd run away from home?"
Star leaned his hip against the kitchen counter, shrugging one shoulder. "I was trying to figure if it qualified. It was my foster family. I never really thought of the place as 'home'."
"Ah." Zan leaned back against the kitchen sink, raising his eyebrows slightly. "So what happened?"
"They were uptight religious pricks and they were trying to de-gayify me. And they took away my library card. …So I said fuck 'em. I seduced their prissy, uptight little cunt of a son, blackmailed him into giving me the car and all the money in the house, ditched him at the mall with five bucks, parked the car in Omaha and caught the next bus for Minneapolis. Been here ever since." He grinned.
Zander let out a breathy laugh, a small, slightly incredulous sound. "You're a fucking maniac," he said.
Star shrugged again, still grinning. "So why'd you have to think about it so long?"
"Same thing. Trying to think if it qualified. I didn't so much run away as… I got kicked out." He glanced up at Star. One eyebrow was raised, questioning. Zan shrugged a little. "I told you when I was sixteen, I tried to kill myself. …My dad found out I was gay. He told me… I wasn't his son, he never wanted to see me again. So I left. And then… the truck. Zachriel." He shrugged again.
Star digested this in silence a few moments. Then, "Where'd you go?" he asked.
"Where?" Alexander asked. He could still feel the sting of the scrape on his cheekbone, the dull throbbing of his knee. He was thirsty, and his feet were tired.
There was silence for a moment as he studied the buildings of Whiteclay apprehensively, his stomach turning. This is where his dad, and so many of the men in Pine Ridge, bought the beer and liquor that made them mean and stupid. He'd been here before, sitting in the back of his dad's truck, seen old bearded men chewing tobacco and watching him with sharp eyes. Where could he possibly go in Whiteclay? Where could he go that could possibly be safe?
There, came Zachriel's voice in his head, warmly, filling him. How had he ever lived without this, alone? How had he not felt the lack?
Alexander eyed the farmhouse, set well off from Main Street and its liquor stores: two stories, pale blue with white trim, cozy, homey-looking, neat gardens of flowers and vegetables surrounding it. "Who lives there?"
A woman, replied the voice from inside him, from everywhere in the universe.
"What's her name?"
I have no idea, replied the angel, and Alexander could feel that he was amused.
So he had walked to the house, and knocked on the door, nervous and ashamed. "What do I tell her?" he asked himself, asked the angel, quietly.
A woman came to the screen door, blinking in surprise and concern at the skinny Lakota youth on her porch, soiled with dust and dried blood. She was young and pretty, in her mid-twenties, and white, with blue eyes and strawberry-blonde hair cut short above her shoulders. She was dressed conservatively and maybe a little old-fashioned, in a blouse and skirt, like a housewife from the Fifties. She wore a tiny gold crucifix around her neck.
The woman opened the screen door a little and stood looking at him. "Can I help you?" she asked.
Alexander swallowed, panicking, trying to choke past the block in his throat, trying to decide what to say. His words came out in a rush, suddenly. "Please, ma'am, you don't know me, but I don't know where to go, I'm from Pine Ridge, my dad, he- he found out I'm gay-" screaming to himself in his head, Why did you tell her? and answering himself, I need to know now if she'll reject me, I can't stand not knowing, "-he kicked me out, and- and could you, maybe… could you maybe, please…." He trailed off, not sure what to ask for.
The woman listened, the faintest touch of sadness around her eyes, then smiled kindly. "I'm Clara. Clara Smith. What's your name?"
He swallowed again. "Alexander Skerry, ma'am."
Her smile grew, warmer and wider. She held the screen door open for him. "Come in, Alexander. Are you hungry…?"
"There was a woman in Whiteclay. She took me in for a bit. I still write to her, sometimes. …Then I came to Minneapolis." He tilted his head at Star, half-smiling. "Been here ever since."
Star lay on his back on the kitchen floor, head and hands hidden by cabinet doors and water pipes. There were clunking noises and then a hand emerged, waving impatiently at Zan, standing next to him. Zander handed him a wrench and leaned over to peer at what he was doing. He shook his head and straightened, looking down at Star skeptically.
Zander became momentarily distracted by an expanse of cream-pale skin, exposed where a fold of Star's t-shirt had lifted. He reached out for Star's shirt with his toes, tugging it a couple of times under the pretense of getting his attention, pulling the shirt down to cover up the (smooth, soft, lickable) skin of his stomach. "You're doing it wrong," he said. "Let me at it."
"Fuck off Zan," came Star's voice, mildly, from beneath the sink. "I know how to fix a sink."
A moment later there was a clang, a sputtering yell, and a modest flood of water across the kitchen floor. Zander laughed until he got a stitch in his side, and then he kept laughing.
Zander dragged a crate across the floor of the storeroom and shifted it into place next to the other large found objects, completing the makeshift wall. Across the room, the hastily reinforced door shook, reverberating with thuds and booms and the squeaky crunch of abused metal. They're going to get in, he thought. The cavalry won't get here in time.
He looked down at where Star was crouched behind Zan's barrier of crates. Star had found a coil of copper wire, a car battery, and a couple of barrels of gasoline, and was busy MacGyvering an implement of splodey destruction. Zan glanced to where the barrels of gas were shoved up close to the door, mentally calculating the size of the explosion relative to the size of the room. He didn't like what he came up with.
"Uh, Star?" he began, vaguely surprised at the steadiness of his voice. Star glanced up at him. "…We gonna survive that?" He jerked his chin at the battery at Star's knee.
"Maybe not." His partner's grin was dangerous, something sharp and feral in his eyes. "But they sure as hell won't either."
Alexander stared at him, then crouched down and put his back to a crate. "Z, we're going to need the strongest shield you can give us," he said.
Already on it, little brother, the angel replied.
If anyone's interested, these were the prompts I used:
1.The video for "Canvas" by Imogen Heap (I borrowed heavily from the imagery in the first half of the video, and tried to capture the mood and feel of the images and music in words)
2. Clara (one of my characters from omg_alchemist and omg_fma... a version of her in the Metanoia-verse might be like this)
3. Water, or anything to do with it
4. A coil of wire

How to teach reading with clever games
Posted by: Luk on: July 17, 2009
The essential components for a good education are reading, writing and basic computational skills.
Among these three reading is considered the most important. It's necessary to use creativity and patience to teach reading to children.
Nowadays, with internet and others media invading our lives, the pleasure of reading a book seems lost. However, present and past studies show the importance that reading has in student success rates and also prove that forcing children to read yields poor results.
A new approach to this problem is needed to find a new and more effective method of teaching reading.
When you teach child reading, you should use variety of methods and resources for a well-rounded education.
Some educators obtained great results using educational games :
A lot of methods of teaching reading includes reading games and clever gaming situations to help children memorize letters and familiarize with the language.
Kids learn more when they enjoy the educational experience, that's why reading games are really effective to improve their skills.
For a kid, a boring standard lesson can't be catchy as playing a reading game, and this is the reason why fun learning is more effective and interesting than old teaching methods.
Also the contribute of the family is important , but the teacher's methods are crucial to create an overall educational experience.
The video below shows how reading games for kids can be used; a specific game could provide oral reading, another one could teach how to share the contents with the group, another one could involve the class into a recital.
The "Crazy Professor" video shows a game based reading seminar adopted by many American schools to develop reading comprehension among their young students.
This a clear evidence of how educational games can help children to learn the language and enjoy their reading lessons.

Development guide
In order to keep project documentation and source code in sync, reference documentation is automatically generated from the source code. For this to work, the documentation for classes, functions, types, etcetera have to follow certain conventions. These are described in the following sub-sections.
General conventions
Documentation that is to be included in the automatically generated reference documentation uses the JavaDoc style, which consists of a C-style comment block starting with two *'s like this:
/** * ... text ... */
Brief documentation (single line) that is to be included in the automatically generated reference documentation uses the C++ style comments with one additional slash.
/// Brief description /** * Detailed description */
The documentation is always written before the item to be documented. In the case of a class or function declaration/definition, the documentation is written immediately before the return type. Also for classes and functions, the documentation comment is indented one step deeper than the declaration.
By putting a number of column-aligned minus signs at the start if a line, a bullet list will be generated. Numbered items lists can also be generated by using a minus sign followed by a hash. Nesting of lists is allowed and is based on indentation of the items.
Paragraphs can be separated by inserting an empty documentation line.
Classes and structs
The documentation for a class or struct is written before the "class" keyword.
/** * This class implements a thread-based timer. * * A timer starts a thread that first waits for a given start * interval. * Once that interval expires, the timer callback is called * repeatedly in the given periodic interval. * If the interval is 0, the timer is only * called once. * The timer callback method can stop the timer by setting the * timer's periodic interval to 0. * * The timer callback runs in its own thread, so multithreading * issues (proper synchronization) have to be considered when * writing the callback method. * * The exact interval at which the callback is called depends on * many factors like operating system, CPU performance and system * load and may differ from the specified interval. * * The timer thread is taken from the global default thread pool, so * there is a limit to the number of available concurrent timers. */ class Foundation_API Timer: protected Runnable { public: ... };
The documentation for a function is written directly before the function declaration.
The parameters of a function are not documented separately. However, if a parameter requires special attention, a brief sentence or paragraph about it is written in the function documentation.
If the function may throw an exception, a paragraph should be written that describes which exceptions may be thrown under what circumstances.
If the function returns a value, the value should be described in a short paragraph.
/** * Starts the timer. * Create the TimerCallback as follows: * TimerCallback<MyClass> callback(*this, &MyClass::onTimer); * timer.start(callback); */ void start(const AbstractTimerCallback& method);
/** * Returns the index'th token. * Throws a RangeException if the index is out of range. */ const std::string& operator [] (int index) const;
/** * Unloads the given library. * * Be extremely cautious when unloading shared libraries. * If objects from the library are still referenced somewhere, * a total crash is very likely. * * If the library exports a function "pocoUninitializeLibrary", * this function is executed before it is unloaded. * * If loadLibrary() has been called multiple times for the same * library, the number of calls to unloadLibrary() must be the * same for the library to become unloaded. */ void unloadLibrary(const std::string& path) { FastMutex::ScopedLock lock(_mutex); typename LibraryMap::iterator it = _map.find(path); ... }
The documentation for an enumeration is written directly before the enum keyword. The documentation for each enumeration value is written directly after each value.
/// Flags that modify the matching behavior. enum Options { GLOB_DEFAULT = 0x00, /// default behavior GLOB_DOT_SPECIAL = 0x01, /// '*' and '?' do not match '.' at beginning of subject GLOB_DIRS_ONLY = 0x80 /// only glob for directories };
Documentation for at type definition is written directly before the typedef statement.
/// UTC time value in microsecond resolution typedef Int64 TimeVal;
TODO lists
Open issues in the code should be clearly marked with a TODO item inside the documentation. A TODO item should start with \todo followed by a paragraph where the TODO item is described. Doxygen will clearly mark them inside the auto-generated documentation. It will also add these items to a separate TODO list. The two instances of the description will be cross-referenced.
/** * \todo Add documentation to this function... * \todo This function is not stable. Fix it! */

Heading Home In Melbourne? Your Train Line's Probably CLOSED
A trespasser at Southern Cross station has caused gridlock on Melbourne's train network this afternoon.
Services on more than seven train lines were stopped as police moved the man on at 2:30PM.
Cranbourne, Packenham, Frankston and Sandringham line services are operating from Flinders Street and will not go via the City Loop.
Upfield, Werribee, Williamstown and Craigieburn lines are also affected.
Metro said it had to power down the overhead wires for safety reasons which means no trains can run through the loop.
Platform 12 at Southern Cross is currently closed.
Major delays are expected.

Bobcats Open Up Conference, Lose To LIU Twice
by Tom Butto
March 29, 2008
HAMDEN — The Quinnipiac University softball team came into Northeast Conference play losers of two games in a row, and looked to stop the losing streak by taking the Long Island University Blackbirds at home.
However, the day of action on the field did not turn out as planned, as the Bobcats ran into two dominating pitching performances, losing 8-0 in the first game and 7-0 in the second game. The Bobcats fell to 10-19 on the season, and 0-2 in conference play, while the Blackbirds improved to 12-13 overall and 2-0 in the NEC.
In the first game of the double header at Bobcat Field, Blaire Porter dazzled the Bobcats with excellent command of her fastball. Porter threw a complete game ten strikeout gem, while walking one batter and only giving up two infield singles in the shutout.
Jaime Iaquinto, the right handed pitcher from the Bobcats, had the opposite type of day on the mound. Iaquinto had a rocky outing, giving up eight runs and walking five batters in her complete game effort. Iaquinto's troubles started in the second inning when Brynn Lewis, the sophomore second baseman for the Blackbirds, drove in two runs with the bases loaded.
Lewis had just as big of a game as her teammate Porter did. She drove in four runs in the game.
The second game did not go any better for Quinnipiac, as Jenny Giles of the Blackbirds struck out three and walked four in her complete game shutout effort, matching the complete game shutout that Porter threw.
The pitching performance in the second game of the double header was also mirrored by Quinnipiac's starter, Kristin Sherriff. She also gave up three runs in the second inning of her outing.
Like Iaquinto, Sheriff also settled down, not giving up a run until the sixth inning, when she gave up two runs. She was replaced by the southpaw Emily Bellush. Bellush allowed two runs of her own in 1.1 innings on the mound.
The Bobcats only had a total of five hits in the double header, as their seaso-long hitting woes continued. As a team, Quinnipiac only sports a .203 average on the season, and does not have one hitter batting at or above .300. The Bobcats highest average belongs to sophomore Christine Bourdeau, who's hitting .289.

It's even worse than I thought it would be. Allow me to sum up:
First Letter: I was abused by a man in my social circle, and now a former friend is too and he's cut off all her connections to us, what do I do?
Jane: Why do you care lol you're clearly a drama queen or just lonely.

In case you were/are freaked out by the picture, in no way is this a pregnancy announcement. That's a food baby combined with the fact that I needed to use the bathroom and I'm bloated because that is just what women's bodies do sometimes.
Let's back up a little before I get into the knitty-gritty of this post, but bear in mind that picture has everything to do with it. I love to count down to things, I especially love to remember when things happen. My dad has always been completely amazed at the way my brain remembers dates and names. I remember conversations I had in the third grade, the way my first boyfriend in high school smelled (heavenly), and random off the wall quotes or facts about things I love.
I remember dates: when Joel proposed to Alanna and Chase proposed to Rachel; when Garrett married Lizzy, Austin married Carissa, Cole married Rachael, Michael married Natasha; when my first kiss was; when my cousins were born; when my brother called me after his first kiss; when I broke my arm, had surgery and got my cast removed… You get the picture. I know the dates of all those things.
I also remember the dates of things I wish I could forget, like the day I met the person who would take my already fragile body image issues where I had a mild fear of anyone seeing me in a swimsuit and completely obliterate those fears to turn them into total disgust for the only body I have.
You've all heard the story of the Marine. I don't like to say his name, that makes him human. I don't believe he is. Well, August 18 marks two years since I met him. Have I told you how we met? It's not my favorite thing to admit, but it was at a local pub. I was having a girl's night with some friends, I was finally 21. I was wearing jeans and a halter top.
I was CONSTANTLY told of the terrors of Marines. I heard the horror stories of well meaning girls who went out with their friends for a night out and ended up in the backseat of a car, beaten to a pulp with no memory of how it happened. Thankfully, this was never my reality. There is a reason girls end up anywhere with a **Marine like that… They are charming. They gaze so intently at you when you respond to their questions. They tell you how much they love your smile. They laugh at your jokes and make you feel like the only person on earth. They're bashful when they ask for your phone number.
He told me he thought my passion for school and photography was amazing. At the time I thought I wanted to be a teacher, he told me I would be the kind of teacher he would always flirt with. My love for yearbook had not yet been tarnished by my senior year of college, he told me he thought it was so adorable the way I got excited over something so nerdy.
I gave him my phone number when he asked. I had just been dumped by someone who told me I was good for nothing, he would never love me and didn't even know why he wanted to be with me in the first place. I was in denial that I was broken and this really cute guy was interested in everything I was told was useless.
Everything ended November 14. Not quite three months later. He broke up with me. He told me I was too intelligent for him, that my education made him feel like less of a man after he spent those months being upset when I would spend time with my guy friends at school, telling me I needed to go to the gym more because "no girlfriend of his should ever have a stomach like that," telling me we wouldn't go get dinner until I did 50 sit ups, telling me I wasn't flexible enough for him and that I should really do more yoga, telling me what and how I should be eating so I could have the body HE wanted for me.
Here's the thing about abusive relationships: you don't feel like you can leave, you don't want to leave… because you don't know how they'll react. He could lift 350 lbs over his head, I weigh 120. I felt isolated, I didn't think anyone would listen or believe me. So I did everything I could to make breaking up his idea. In the end, it "was." And then he spent the following months trying to get me back. Telling me he loved me but was afraid to tell me, saying I was the only woman for him and he wanted to show me that.
I haven't heard from him in 550 days. That was the last time he called me and the first time he actually listened to me tell him no. It took too long for me to open up about the realities of that experience. But it's been ever so healing since I have.
Here's the thing about women's bodies: they're amazing. Another truth about women's bodies: they do weird things like bloat to make us look pregnant when we're totally not and nowhere close.
WE CAN GROW HUMANS INSIDE US. Not that I want to, but I CAN!! Amy Adams said the most amazing thing about her body when she was pregnant with her daughter, "Being pregnant finally helped me understand what my true relationship was with my body — meaning that it wasn't put on this earth to look good in a swimsuit. I was like, 'Look, I can carry a baby! I'm gaining weight right, everything's going well.' And I've had that relationship ever since."
It's been a long road beyond those words he used to say to me. Sometimes I still hear them… I'm always careful when I start dating someone new. I feel like it would be a disservice to them to keep them in the dark about how affected I was by those words. I know amazing people who have helped me come to a whole other state of mind about my body. I have the most incredible people in my corner who remind me that my physical shape doesn't make me who I am.
I hope that the women who read this will realize that they were made for more. You are more than your reproductive organs and your sexuality. You are more than your jeans size. You are more than your acne or wrinkles or cellulite. You are more than your relationship status or lack thereof. YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAN ALL THOSE THINGS. You in no way deserve to be torn down or told you are worth any less than a man who would brave shark infested waters to bring you a lemonade.
I believe in uplifting women and reminding them that they.are.amazing. and beautiful and dynamic and wonderful all around. I am a feminist and I won't apologize for it because I think it's the most Christ-like way to be. I don't have a completely flat stomach, but my legs look ten miles long and I have Disney princess hair. I enjoy having an attractive man buy me a drink, but by no means am I interested in one who treats me like I can't pay for it my damn self. I'm a Christian, and that won't stop me from telling you to F off if you were just plain rude to me or someone I love. My body was not made for anything but carrying my soul through this earth to share the Gospel and to completely love people from every walk of life. That's it. And that's all I have to say about that.
** I know some good Marines. I do. It took a while to find them, but they are real. They are wonderful men. They love their wives, daughters, girlfriends, mothers, sisters… They treat all women they know with respect. Some have even repaired the damage that was done to me, just by being remarkably willing to accept my initial reservations to spending time alone with them. But make no mistake, if I ever have a daughter, no Marine will lay a hand on her without first surviving an interrogation from me.

If you're hoping 2018 brings less headaches and more revenue to your medical practice, you should consider outsourcing your medical billing and coding. Let's take a closer look at how outsourcing your medical billing and coding can improve the productivity of your practice and make 2018 your most successful year to date.
Cost Savings
Let's be honest. Hiring and training an in house team of medical billers and coders is expensive. In addition to paying for salaries as well as insurance, retirement, and PTO benefits, you will need to invest in costly technologies, office supplies, and more. By outsourcing medical billing and coding, you can significantly cut down on costs.
Compliance with Industry Changes
The medical billing and coding industry changes often. Since staying compliant with industry changes is a must, outsourcing medical billing and coding from a reputable company is a smart decision. Medical billers and coders at these companies can ensure that your medical facility stays on top of regulatory changes and protect you legally and financially as a result.
Faster Payments
One of the main benefits of outsourcing medical billing and coding is to allow your practice to get paid faster. When you outsource medical billing and coding, you'll find that your revenue cycle will get processed efficiently, you'll have fewer errors, and your claims will get sent out quicker, leading to faster payments.
Improved Patient Care
Instead of spending your time and energy hiring, training, and managing your in house medical billers and coders, you can outsource medical billing and coding and focus your efforts on what matters most: patient care. Improved patient care can lead to patient loyalty, frequent referrals, and more revenue.
Greater Control
Some medical practices wrongly believe that outsourcing medical billing and coding means giving up their control to someone else. Believe it or not, outsourcing medical billing and coding can actually give you greater control because you will have more time to review reports and evaluate the health of your medical organization.
When you keep your medical billing and coding in house, your practice is at an increased risk of revenue interruptions because of employees getting sick, going on vacation, or quitting. By outsourcing medical billing and coding, you won't have to worry about any revenue interruptions as all of your claims will get processed quickly and accurately by an entire team.
Contact Applied Medical Systems
If you'd like your medical practice to prosper in 2018, it is in your best interest to contact Applied Medical Systems today. We'll be happy to educate you further on our top-notch medical billing and coding services.

Have you ever given someone a heart attack? Normally, not such a good thing, but this style of heart attack will be appreciated…adored even. Just cut out a bunch of paper hearts with love and admiration messages all over them. Write every single sweet thing that you can think of about the person. All those things you love and admire about them. Then stick them all over a spot they will find. You can do in on their bedroom door or all over their room, the front door of a house, stuck to the bathroom mirror, or all over their car.
This works for your husband, your kids (Even teenagers! They LOVE to be loved even though they act prickly sometimes!), your neighbors, your friends – anyone you want to show love and appreciation to.
You can even stick them on to wooden skewers or stakes and fill your neighbor's yard with them, or stick them all over their garage door.
And I thought you might need a cute note to go with it too, so I made these. This first one is for individuals.
Heart Attack Printable for Individuals
This second one is for if your whole family or another group is doing the heart attack together. (It just says "we" instead of "I") It would make a great family night if you all sneak heart attacked a neighbor!

The means of randomization has been hired to unravel a number of prob lems of computing either sequentially and in parallel. Examples of randomized algorithms which are asymptotically greater than their deterministic opposite numbers in fixing quite a few primary difficulties abound. Randomized algorithms have the benefits of simplicity and higher functionality either in thought and infrequently in perform. This ebook is a set of articles written by way of well known specialists within the region of randomized parallel computing. a quick advent to randomized algorithms within the aflalysis of algorithms, at the least 3 diversified measures of functionality can be utilized: the simplest case, the worst case, and the typical case. usually, the common case run time of an set of rules is way smaller than the worst case. 2 for example, the worst case run time of Hoare's quicksort is O(n ), while its typical case run time is just O( n log n). the common case research is performed with an assumption at the enter house. the idea made to reach on the O( n log n) common run time for quicksort is that every enter permutation is both most likely. in actual fact, any typical case research is simply pretty much as good as how legitimate the idea made at the enter house is. Randomized algorithms in attaining improved performances with out making any assumptions at the inputs via making coin flips in the set of rules. Any research performed of randomized algorithms should be legitimate for all p0:.sible inputs.

Consider a distribution u whose moments are mo, ... , mn and mk = a· m. Using the 18 ADVANCES IN RANDOMIZED PARALLEL COMPUTING argument we have used many times by now, a has all its weight on the roots of -x k + Pa(x). Since all the inner roots are of even cardinality, we conclude that (J' is a representation of index n + 1 or less. But it cannot be less: by our assumptions m is nonsingular. Thus, a is a principal representation. Moreover, since _x k + Pa(x) has all its roots in the interval [0,1], and its value at -00 is -00, a must have 1 among its roots.
