5 May 2013 – a historical day
Arrived at my polling station at 9.30 a.m. and had to walk all the way to the end of the line which was about 3km long but all was in order. Everyone seems calm and happy with their minds' made up. It was a great picture and reassuring feeling that many people still care about this country.
While waiting in line, I wrote this poem, had to write something to commemorate this day when history of Malaysia may soon be rewritten:
On the precipice we perch,
the past behind us,
the future ahead.
Today we stand, a day of reckoning.
In line we wait,
spirits high, anxious yet excited.
The winds of change is strong,
but its direction is still unknown
A storm is brewing
but will it last or
break into a sunny day?
Only time will tell.
For once, nature is powerless,
for you and me, mortals decide.
Feel the power, make your choice
for our nation and children alike.
For two and a half hours, my husband and I stood in line. Once, I saw some foreign workers walk past but thankfully they did not join the line. There were no incidents but the line could have moved quicker if more counters were opened.
Finally, we registered and again queued to the room assigned. The school had never been so crowded but everyone was very civilised. No rowdy people here, just decent men and women who want to exercise their rights and made their voice heard.
This time around was so different from the voting day in 2008. I remembered we didn't have to queue at all that year, just walked straight in. This time around, the crowd was massive. It could only indicate one thing – the people want their voice to be heard and they believe in their power to make the change they want to see happen.
We are now less than 24 hours to a new dawn, perhaps. Whoever ends up ruling Malaysia tomorrow must take the people's voice seriously for we are the force and we can make the change!

Why Frantically Rush About?
Watch yourself trying to "do" and
"acquire," as if you were the
one living your life.
As if this body were real.
Why frantically rush about?
Why needlessly hurry through life?
Even to aspire for peace, love
and Enlightenment is to be
trapped in doing.
To want these is also to miss that
you have them already.
That in fact, you Are these.
Are You Letting Yourself Down?
Ever feel like you're not living up to your own standards, hopes and expectations for yourself? Like you're letting your own self down in some (or many) ways?
If you find that you're "down" on yourself lately, consider this question: Why do you hold yourself to certain standards? Surely for the same reason that anyone does: you have an image of yourself as someone who is (or at least who should be) "good," "caring," "successful," "spiritually evolved," etc., etc. And when you catch yourself in actions that don't conform to the image you've set for yourself, you feel as if you've failed yourself.
The keyword in the last two sentences is the word "image." An image is just that: it's an image, which by definition is a mental representation, idea, or conception. What that means, in essence, is that it doesn't have permanence, reality or true substance, any more than any other thought does. And yet we imprison our own selves with standards and images for ourselves that we've taken on as "musts" from society at large.
No image can be consistently or permanently upheld by anyone. The person who appears "good" one day will, at least to some one or ones, appear to be "bad" another day. One who is "successful" and "spiritually evolved" one day is bound to appear "unsuccessful" and "spiritually immature" another day.
We all know that there's no such thing as a perfect or flawless person. But we like to imagine that we ourselves are very close to perfect and flawless. This is straight ego, that ego-sense that "I" am "special," I am "great," so all of my actions should support this image I have of myself. So when -- surprise! -- something happens to prove that we aren't, in fact, even close to conforming to our pre-held image, we often hate and berate ourselves for it.
If someone were to ask us point blank if we perceive ourselves as awesome at whatever we want to be seen as awesome for, we're usually realistic enough to realize we can't be "the best" at most things in life, and we would stutter out a humble answer. And yet ego tells us we can at least be pretty darn close to the best, if we just try enough. So we expect the highest standards from ourselves and we struggle to achieve them. We have to be a top rate mother, brother, son, aunt, employer, employee -- you name it.
This sets us up to become unhappy when we drop the ball and don't measure up. Likewise, we want others in our life to behave in a perfect and flawless way, especially toward us.
Isn't it time to free ourselves from the idea that we (and others in our lives) should be flawless beings? Rather than trying to hold yourself to a fixed image and fighting with the imperfections, allow them to be there. You don't have to be great, excellent, or even the best at anything to be 100% worthy. Just be you. Leave the super humanness to the super heroes.
Do You Trust Life?
Take a second and recall the last time you really wanted something or wanted to make something happen. If you're anything like most people, you probably tried hard to get it or set it into motion (or push it away, if it was something you didn't want).
Now imagine if someone you really trust had came along and told you that if you'd just stop trying, you'd instantly get what you wanted.
Would you have stopped trying, at that point?
Even if it was the person you trust most in the world, you probably wouldn't have. Not because you don't trust this person -- but because trying and effort have such a strong momentum. Probably the best you would have been able to do would have been to try to stop trying. And that's just more trying.
Our entire lives, we've been taught and conditioned that we need to actively make life give us what we want.
But what if we could completely let go of trying to get what we want? (And let me clarify that by this I don't mean to imply that we stop doing anything towards goals and desires... but rather that we go about life doing what needs doing and responding to things as they arise, less all the usual trying and grasping).
If you did this, would all your plans and everything you want and have been working towards in life completely and instantly (or eventually) fall apart?
The point of this blog post isn't to claim that it wouldn't. Chances are, you might find yourself very surprised to see that nothing falls apart in the least. But you also might find that everything does completely fall apart.
But if it was the latter -- wouldn't that just be a telltale sign that what you really wanted wasn't what you really needed? Because you can always trust life to give you what you need -- right?
Maybe that's why we try so hard in life. Because deep down we know life will give us what we need, and we don't want what we need. We want what we want.
But the thing about it is, no matter how hard we try, life isn't going to give us what we want unless it's also what we need. Put another way, life is only going to give us what we truly want at the deepest level, beyond what we think we want at the mind/sensory level.
When we really see this, it becomes clear that trying and effort are just wasted energy. And that we can choose to live life without them. When we do that, we see that without them, life is actually a much more enjoyable experience -- even when it doesn't go like we would have deemed best.
If something is what life has in store for you, it doesn't need you to try so hard to make it happen. You can take the steps towards it without a big hullabaloo of stress, struggle and grasping. It's just in the cards. And if it's not what life has in store for you, all the effort in the world will just be in vein.
Whichever it is, this much is true: you'll enjoy life a lot better if you can take a leap of trust. If you can just trust that life knows what it's doing, already, without any help from you. (Unless, that is, you enjoy all the trying and effort?)
As my teacher, Vinn, has told me before, "Life is simple. Just put one foot in front of the next."
Just a gal experimenting with what it means to live outside of mind.

Lizzie poked at her dinner. She wasn't sure exactly that she liked dinner tonight and her mind was also very busy. Jarred was working late on some project again so it was only Kalani and Lizzie at the dinner table.
"When is daddy coming home," Lizzie stabbed at the chunk of meat on her plate with little enthusiasm.
"Soon baby. He has work things that kept him later," Kalani reminded her for the tenth time tonight. It was not that she minded taking care of the little girl but nights like this Kalani missed Jarred too. Not for his company but more to manage dinner. They had been a family for about four months and a few growing pains had resulted in this time but nothing that wasn't expected or typical. However, dinners without Jarred were Kalani's downfall. Mainly because Kalani wasn't fussy. She ate just about anything. Lizzie however, when she was alone with Kalani, tended to want to change her mind fifteen times and only pick at each selection. "Can you eat just two bites for me," Kalani asked which was her first mistake. You never give a child an open-ended question.
"No, I don't like it. When is Daddy coming home," Lizzie asked again to get the topic on something other than broccoli? The deep sigh by Kalani showed the same question over and over wearing Kalani down.
"After he gets done with his work things," Kalani repeated getting up to clear the table off.
"So he is going out with his friends," Lizzie said remembering one time where Jarred went out with a few friends and Kalani had turned that night into a girl party for them.
"No that is adult things. He is doing work things," Kalani tried not to scream. At times kids were like a broken record. They didn't mean to make you nutty but they just got stuck in a scratch so they repeated the same line over and over.
Lizzie wasn't sure exactly what that meant except that it usually used to mean her daddy and Kalani were going to do things that did not include her. Tonight, Lizzie decided to get a real answer to what adult things were.
"So he is doing things with other people that he does with you that I can't be a part of," Lizzie asked innocently. "What sort of things do adults do that kids can't?"
Kalani's eyes got wide and she wore that expression that said 'um oh sheet what do I say now.' A few seconds later Kalani answered with "adult things are when your daddy is up all night fixing my vivarium." Lizzie knew her daddy spent a lot of time working on the answer made sense.
Two hours later when her Nana called and asked where her daddy was, Lizzie, said "doing adult things with Kalani's vivarium." Her Nana's response was to say she loved her but had to go right now. Ten seconds she heard her Daddy's personal communicator ring.
"What do I owe the pleasure mom?" Jarred asked as he sat on the couch. He had felt a bit rough and ragged as he yawned a bit as he wanted to see what she was going to ask.
Alindor, CE
"Her vivarium," Samantha Alidor said. The tone of her voice indicated Samantha probably had her hands on her hips and was looking at him like he was a small child. "Is that what the kids are calling it these days."
"Her what? Kalani? Did she tell you about that? I imagine she would she has been telling everyone. She is trying to cram as much in there as she can. I keep telling her I can only work my magic for so long and something is gonna escape. Plus when she wants the wet stuff it becomes even harder. Honestly mom it's insane what expectations she has but I promised her before I even began dating I would give it to her however she asked me to… can't break that promise."
"Well no more," Samantha said in a sharp tone, "unless you want your daughter to keep telling everyone that her Dad is plugging holes in Kalani's drain pipes. I am serious Jarred. This is not the first time when we have called that Elizabeth has said she can't give the communicator to you because you are tending to your girlfriend's aquatic needs. Do you know how bad that sounds? Lucy and Peter spent two hours telling me how bad it sounds. What if she tells that to anyone on the ship Jarred. You need to watch what you say and do all the time," Samantha sighed a bit frustrated.
"I am not sure why anyone would care"
"Why would they care," Samatha half squeaked feeling her temper rising.
"I mean half the engineering staff has helped me at some point work out the kinks and get things running right. Even the Captain has to sign off in giving us two decks for us to have enough room in case she wants to expand. I mean is it really so odd that a biologist has a vivarium? I think you are being a little short sighted if you think she shouldn't be allowed to study on ship like that." Jarred said, a bit surprised his mom was so shocked about something so simple.
"Wait you mean like animal tank vivarium," Samantha posed the question with a hint of confusion to her voice.
"Of course, what else do you think I would be talking about? That think has taking most of my time up outside of work cause I just wanna be done with it." Jarred said, unsure why this would ever have been a bad thing for them to do for Kalani.
"Because Elizabeth is always saying that you are working on Kalani's vivarium as the reason you are busy as a catch-all. That or dealing with adult things. Please tell me that adult things are picking out the nights dinner," Samantha said frustrated. It was hard giving her granddaughter back to her son. Yes, it was the right thing to do but that didn't mean she didn't miss her granddaughter every hour of every day.
"I mean yes I spend time with Kalani in certain ways… not sure what that would be your concern. I am not sitting around trying to flaunt anything I know how to take care of Lizzie. Well I know most of the ways, I certainly know what not to do!" Jarred said his tone sounding exasperated as he couldn't believe his mom thought he would do something like that with his daughter in the quarters.
"Daddy," Lizzie tugged at his shirt.
"One sec little one…" Jarred said softly as he kissed the top of her head.
"Maybe moving in Kalani the same Elizabeth moved in wasn't the smartest move," Jonathan yelled in the background.
"Oh don't you start too, you never liked anything I did but I got by… and I do know what I shouldn't be doing." Jarred said miffed at his dads butting in.
"Are you sure," his dad's simple statement spoke volumes. It was rhetorical and Jonathan didn't expect an answer yet he knew it would force his son to reply.
"Daddy I brushed my teeth and I am ready for bed," she said pulling at this shirt again not caring if he was talking. She couldn't hear what they were saying but she did hear her PaPa. A few times she had heard her daddy and PaPa talk like this and the best thing to do was stop it.
"Okay sweet pea… go sit on your bed and I will be there in five minutes… pick the book you want out and I will come get you." He said, his voice soothing but he still couldn't quite hide the on edge feeling he has just then.
"Come with me now," she said tugging at this shirt again.
"What you should be doing is spending time with Elizabeth and not fiddling with where you need to point your welding torch," Jonathan said gruffly. His wife had their son on speaker whether Jarred knew it or not. Part of Jonathan felt sick at saying these things to Jarred. The boy was a good father. There was no denying it. Jonathan just knew how bad he had been as a father at times with Jarred growing up. Age and illness tended to make people focus on what they could have done better in life. Jonathan had both against him. Elizabeth was Jonathan Alindor's way to make up for so many things. He could be a better father, or in this case grandfather, to her than he had been to any of his three children. Elizabeth could also mend the tears and cracks in Jonathan's relationship with his oldest child. Jonathan had no business being a father when Samantha got pregnant with their first born. He was only concerned about his career and while he loved his family, Captain Jonathan Alindor at that time thought being the best marine possible was how he showed he was a good father and husband. Retired Colonel Alindor knew that showing up made you a good father and the rest would fall into place around that. While the conversation was going south quick, Jonathan only cared that his son learn a lesson far earlier than he did.
"I got the book," Elizabeth said running in front of her daddy as he seemed to be pacing the room. She darted right in front of him as Jarred was making an about-face putting her squarely underfoot. "I got the book," she held it up as high as she could so that Jarred was not able to miss it.
"And why is she still up when it is 2000 hours on a school night," Jonathan said gruffly before feeling a coughing fit come on.
"Dad, she isn't your daughter and she isn't your responsibility anymore. I got this." Jarred said abruptly sighing deeply as he looked back over at his little girl.
"I actually have two," she said showing Jarred the second one that was hidden behind the first.
"You know what I will hang up and help you figure out what you should be doing right now and that's focusing on my granddaughter," Jonathan barked out clicking the call off.
"That you do pumpkin, come…" he said with small huff as he picked his daughter up and began carrying her , "… on let's find out what wonderful story you picked baby girl." He said softly as he kissed her cheek as he got to the bed.
Stopping right in front he grabbed the book from her hand as he placed it on her nightstand, he knew Lizzie knew what to do next as he made it so her position in his arms moved as he grabbed her by her legs.
"And here comes Elizabeth for a landing she is clearing the runway" he said as Lizzie would grab the covers and push them back one by one before Jarred flipped her right side up as he caught her to land safely on her mattress.
Elizabeth giggled so much her body shook. She loved when he tucked her into bed.
Carefully he began to pull each blanket back and tucked her in carefully before laying next to her bed. Grabbing the book he gave it to her as he smiled down looking at her.
"So what did you pick today buttercup?" He asked, he could see a bit of the cover but he knew she loved to tell him before he began to read it to her.
Alindor, CE
Lizzie got up early the next morning and was insanely excited. Since her normal time to wake up was 0600 early meant zero dark thirty. She had set her Galexa to wake up this early. Normally her daddy woke her up for school. It was her favorite part of the day. Nana and PaPa typically called out her name from the door. Kalani typically patted her gently and called out her name. Her daddy however made it special. He always sat on the edge of her bed. He would rub her back and call her everything but Lizzie. Babydoll, butter bean, squirt, half pint: the names varied but they were always something special. Well except the few times they ran late and he would yell 'Elizabeth put some muscle in that hustle' in her morning wake up call.
Her daddy did so many wonderful things every day for her and today she wanted to make this day wonderful for him. It was Father's Day and Lizzie Alindor was a girl with a goal. Tiptoeing she walked to the kitchen and pulled a chair over to the replicator. It made a scraping sound which caused her to look at her daddy's and Kalani's bedroom. She held her breath waiting to see if they came out. Luckily a few seconds passed and no one exited her parent's bedroom. Gripping the chair she pulled it farther causing more scrapes and rattles but still no sign of her daddy. Who it did bring however into the kitchen was Ralph and Maxine.
"What is she doing," Maxine asked Ralph flying down from the hook Jarred installed in the corner of the room. Maxine loved Lizzie but rarely got as much time with her as Ralph. It was Jarred's fault. He was obsessed with dominating the few hours she had to share with the little girl requiring mundane things like bathing, doing school work, and reading for 30 minutes a day. The reading wasn't the fun reading either. She didn't mind the reading with Jarred at night in Lizzie's bed. That reading had voices and the occasional talking puppet. Jarred let Maxine sit on the headboard and look down as he read the entire story. Secretly when he clicked off the light and told Lizzie it was time for bed, Maxine often tucked herself into a tiny cranny in the room. This was to avoid the one hand scoop, Ralph as Jarred cleared out the room so his daughter could go to bed. Since she was not as noisy as Ralph with his yips and barks, Maxine was often forgotten my Jarred. This allowed her to curl up on Lizzie's pillow and whisper secrets until the little girl could not keep her eyes open. "Why is she moving that chair," Maxine demanded with a perplexed look on her face.
"Beats me but it always fuuuh nnnnnna," Ralph replied stretching his back out followed by one leg and then another. Jarred had gotten Ralph a bed but his mom's and Jarred's was far softer which is why he trained the two humans to let him use their bed every night. Some nights they were easier roommates than others. Last night was just one of those nights neither is mom nor Jarred seemed to ever get comfortable or decide if the blankets should be on or off them.
Seeing the fox and bat enter the kitchen, Lizzie grinned happily. "I'm so glad you're here," Lizzie scooped up Ralph under her arm. "Help me with daddy's special day," she kissed Ralph on the head making his ears go flat. "It's so much more fun when you have a friend right?"
Lizzie knew what she wanted to do for Jarred on father's day. She wanted to make him breakfast in bed. Using the replicator was something big kids did and she was almost five. Well in another 270 days she would be five but it would be fine. Whispering out some commands the replicator began to pump out everything she requested. Setting Ralph down, Lizzie placed the first dish on the table. It was simple: scrambled eggs and bacon. The smell filled the room making Ralph's tummy rumble. Without his mom or Jarred around, the breakfast score was going to be a lot more simple.
At the same time in Jarred's bedroom
Morning had come as Jarred felt the hints of breakfast wafting into his quarters as he felt himself stir. The smells began to cause his stomach to rumble as signs of his early morning hunger. He knew what today was, Fathers day had arrived. He never had much celebrating on this day since Lizzie had not been living with them for a long time. Now though four months in both for her arrival and Kalani moving in with him life had begun to feel both new and exciting and old and familiar.
Mmmm… bacon. Jarred thought to himself, no one could resist that smell. Feeling more and more awake he began to open his eyes just slightly Lani… how lucky am I to get you my love. he thought as he smiled. She was making breakfast it seemed, and from the sounds of it she had help. There was more than one person shuffling in the main living area, some of the sounds even came off as quiet and small.
"Whelp I am gonna go monitor the food," Ralph stretched his legs up and attempted to jump into the chair. The problem was his legs were far too short to make it from the floor to the seat without help. His attempt resulted in his front paws raking the cushions as his hindquarters flailed about like a man dangling from a cliff.
"From the floor," Maxine said landing on the back of the chair next to the one Ralph trying to occupy.
"No…frah…dah....able," Ralph hated when his batty sister got such a superiority complex. His words came out in choppy bursts. Ralph refused to give up the little ground he had gained with his claws which meant his arse end was flapping about madly as his feet cartwheeled about looking for something to help boost him up.
Making a show of craning her head to look down she allowed her face to get an expression of deep thought. "If you just swing your…no…no not like that. Hook it. Ralph hook that foot. Not that one the other foot," Maxine gave what most people in Ralph's situation would call unhelpful advice. She tried to contain her glee in being able to preen she was where he wanted to be; however, she was a sibling and that meant you always pointed out when you had the high ground to your brother or sister.
"You… are not hell…ping," he grunted flattening his ears to show his disapproval of his sister. This look was well known in the Kane household and often earned him a bip on the nose if it went on too long. His mom wasn't here so Ralph didn't have to mind his manners.
"No, but god you should see all the food. This pineapple is amazing," Maxine offered as false encouragement nibbling at a hunk of the fruit Lizzie replicated. She let out a soft cooing sound which was her version of a laugh seeing Ralph's nose and head peek over the table yet not be high enough to try anything she was eating.
"Hey don't do that. Licking people's food is gross. You know mom says that all the time," Ralph scowled at Maxine as he could see her licking the fresh fruit in the bowl.
"Do what? Do this," she taunted Ralph flicking her tongue back and forth over the sweet fruit knowing it was irritating her struggling brother.
"Stop it," Ralph let out an angry bark. His anger was not that Maxine was doing something wrong but more that he could not be doing the same thing.
Lizzie let out a giggle seeing Maxine and Ralph at the table. "Put some muscle in that hustle," Lizzie quoted what her PaPa often said when she was trying something hard and he wanted to be playful or encouraging. Setting down a short stack of pancakes and a Belgian waffle, she surveyed the table. It was filled with more than ten people could eat but there were a few more things she planned. Before moving away, however, Lizzie hoisted Ralph's south forty to the chair.
Ralph took a long moment and savored the site before him. It was a cornucopia of tasty treats. Jarred always gave Ralph bits of his leftover food but no one ever gave him a plate that was untouched by human hands. Now he was going to get the thing he had dreamt of for as long as he could remember. Sticking his tongue out, Ralph licked the first piece of bacon he found. The savory grease gave him an expression of a man in nirvana.
"Really Ralph really," Maxine said nibbling the edge of a mango. "Are you going to lick every piece," she asked rolling her eyes.
"Nope. I'm gonna eat 'em," Ralph grinned from ear to ear stepping on the now warm bacon and tearing off a small piece.
"Okay," Lizzie said proudly looking at the tray ladden with food. Reaching over she pulled off a piece of bacon from where Ralph hadn't licked or stepped and took a bite herself. "So ready to go wake Daddy up!"
Jarred's bedroom
Sitting up Jarred smirked, the smaller sounds had to be Ralph and Max. He was for all intents and purposes dating a Disney princess. He could almost see Kalani right now frolicking in the room with birds chirping and a deer sitting the table as she cooked in a long flowing blue dress. Sitting up he looked to his side, the blanket was lumpy and hard next to him as his eyes narrowed as he looked closely at the shape.
"Lani?" he said aloud as he pulled back the covers. Her eyes focusing on him as she looked up as he began to piece together just who was in their place.
"God what time is it," Kalani flopped an arm over her eyes. "You know it is Sunday," she mumbled seeing the time on the clock. Even on workdays when Jarred was an earlier riser, no one got up before 7 am. Lying in the bed she started to process what Jarred was saying. Bacon. He said something about Bacon she thought and took a deep breath. Instantly she smelled it just like Jarred said. Only the smell off coffee was better in the morning. Stretching to wake up, Kalani began to think about how she was going to convince Jarred to get out of their nice warm bed and bring her back coffee. As she played out several ideas in her head something began to be clear. If he was in bed with her who was making breakfast.
"If… if you are in here then who the devil is making the bacon?" he said with an exasperated tone as he cocked his head toward their door.
Alindor, CE
Taking a deep breath, Kalani thought of all the ways to say what was on her mind. Eventually, she decided it would be polite enough to just say, "Jarred I can't take it. Your parents are amazing, wonderful, spectacular, but why is your mom in our kitchen again before we brush our teeth and she is not staying in your quarters. I can see if she was living with us but she is three floors down and six corridors over," she said almost in a whine. "I mean I don't mind her help. I know Lizzie is their world. I don't care if they spend every waking moment on the ship for the next six months visiting her but I just want enough time in the morning to put pants on before the breakfast brigade comes."
"My mom doesn't come by that often, once a week at best and she always sends me a comm message before we go to bed… which I know recall I never told you and maybe I should have." he said with a grimace on his face knowing he most likely shared more than he should.
As if on cue, the bedroom door opened and in came Jarred's brood. Ralph jumping happily at Lizzie's feet as she lugged a tray weighing far more than she could easily manage. Maxine swooped in the room and found a spot on the bed frame so she would watch the entire presentation they had worked so hard on. Life was good with her mom. It got better when they met Jarred but it was now perfect with Lizzie in it.
"Happy Father's Day Daddy. I made breakfast," Lizzie announced loudly as she entered the room and carried the tray. The tray's contents slide slightly back and forth on the plates with each step. Jarred could easily see the bacon sliding off the small plate from which it was being served. The round, colorful circles of Fruit Loops floated in the milk like a lost fleet at sea during a hurricane. Each step causing a single cereal ring or two to be sloshed over the side of the container. Other items were traveling better for the time being.
"I did it all by myself," Lizzie said proudly at the edge of the bed. Her smile was big and bold showing how proud she was of her accomplishment. Setting it partially on the bed, Lizzie tried to balance it enough that it could rest there as she climbed up too. It was just she wasn't tall enough to set the tray on the bed and then climb up.
Jarred beamed as he grabbed the platter before it could fall helping his little girl up on the bed with him. "You… make breakfast?" Jarred said with an almost shocked tone. She was a smart little girl, but this seemed like something for an older child. It wasn't as if the replicator was hard to use but it was a bit high for her and she would need to know all the right commands. He had to admit as he beamed at her just how impressed he was with his daughter.

For us as members of the St Joseph's Catholic College community, the feast of St Joseph brings together our college motto 'To Act Justly' with that strong MacKillop tradition of 'never seeing a need without doing something about it', as well as an appreciation of our past and recognition of the dedicated ministry of the Sisters of St Joseph who have served the East Gosford community.

It is a season of renewal where we make a commitment to reform our life: to become a better witness to God's love for humanity.

Septastomates - Planet Ectora
Septastomates are hermaphrodites and have a very interesting means of mating. On the front end, each septastomate has seven, straight, rigid "straws" arranged in a ring around the male organ. The female organ is located on the back end. Unable to remove the spermatophore from "his" own organ, a partner must reach in with "her" straw-manipulators to pull it out before passing it back to "him" in his own manipulators in order to place it in "her" rear female organ. Sometimes, a third septastomate will pass it along instead and they will take turns inseminating each other. Septastomates live in groups of ten to one hundred where every individual may freely mate with any other and there is no competition. To reduce inbreeding, individuals are often exchanged when groups meet.
The seven straw-manipulators are hollow and open at the end in order to suck up food, but catching food this way is difficult. Instead, they usually grab smaller animals in the manipulators that will escape if they let go. Other septastomates in the group must take these morsels and feed them. Sometimes they grab animals or plants too large to swallow and others must help to break them up into bite-sized pieces. They must cooperate in order to eat or mate. An individual without a group will starve amidst plenty.
There are many families of these strange creatures. Some are straight and fish-like. Others are curled up like snail shells. Unlike false fish, septastomates lack swim bladders so they must constantly flap their ventral fins to keep afloat. Some have "kickstands" for when they rest on the bottom.

REPORT: Fort Worth Targeting 60 Other Developments Using Amazon H2Q Bid
Posted by Kenneth G. Cox on Friday, November 30th, 2018 at 3:31pm
If you're discouraged that DFW didn't win the Amazon H2Q bid, new reports have recently been floated out there that the city of Fort Worth is using their same H2Q offer to attract 60 other potential development projects of varying sizes.
According to the Dallas Morning News, roughly 25% of the companies considering those potential projects already have a presence in DFW and that Fort Worth also offered Amazon an incentive package worth $443.2 million had they chose North Texas for their second headquarters. That package was based on the retail giant investing $750 million and creating another 10,000 jobs for the DFW area.
Although additional details about what could possibly be on the horizon or what companies are looking into a major expansion project in Fort Worth are still unclear, the good news is that it seems the city is serious about strong economic growth heading into 2019 and beyond.

Sharing thanks for a Date Night Out with my husband
Orchids from Planting Fields Greenhouse, January 2012
Loved these orchids! The orchid is a beautiful flower and it takes a talented gardener with a lot of patience to grow one. To allow something beautiful to grow, much care, love and nurturing is required. This is a nice metaphor for successful parenting. It's cold here today on Long Island. Normal temperatures for January. It feels cold because we have been spoiled with a fair amount of 50 degree days. Here are my thanks for today.
1) Thanks for a nice date night with my husband Spencer. We were adventurous and went out to eat at a new Thai restaurant. It was fun to do something new and break out of routine! The restaurant Thai Station in Merrick has been around for a few years, and I've been wanting to give it a try.
2) I'm giving thanks for the delicious Thai food I had tonight. I had Spring Rolls, a Thai coconut fried rice, and beef with asparagus in an oyster sauce. The food was amazing! I enjoy savoring amazing food, and this was the best meal I have had out in a while!
3) Thanks to my daughter Liz's encouragement I got a new haircut today. It's a cute bob, done by Supercuts.
4) Thanks for a fun Saturday. Enjoyed shopping at Target with my daughter Liz. We had such a nice day together!

Pema Chodron Quotes About CompassionQuotes about: Compassion
Some of us can accept others right where they are a lot more easily than we can accept ourselves. We feel that compassion is reserved for someone else, and it never occurs to us to feel it for ourselves. My experience is that by practicing without 'shoulds,' we gradually discover our wakefulness and our confidence. Gradually, without any agenda except to be honest and kind, we assume responsibility for being here in this unpredictable world, in this unique moment, in this precious human body.
The only reason we don't open our hearts and minds to other people is that they trigger confusion in us that we don't feel brave enough or sane enough to deal with. To the degree that we look clearly and compassionately at ourselves, we feel confident and fearless about looking into someone else's eyes.
When we practice generating compassion, we can expect to experience our fear of pain. Compassion practice is daring. It involves learning to relax and allow ourselves to move gently toward what scares us. The trick to doing this is to stay with emotional distress without tightening into aversion, to let fear soften us rather than harden into resistance.
The trick is to keep exploring and not bail out, even when we find out that something is not what we thought. That's what we're going to discover again and again and again. Nothing is what we thought. I can say that with great confidence. Emptiness is not what we thought. Neither is mindfulness or fear. Compassion––not what we thought. Love. Buddha nature. Courage. These are code words for things we don't know in our minds, but any of us could experience them. These are words that point to what life really is when we let things fall apart and let ourselves be nailed to the present moment.
If we begin to get in touch with whatever we feel with some kind of kindness, our protective shells will melt, and we'll find that more areas of our lives are workable. AS we learn to have compassion for ourselves, the circle of compassion for others-what and whom we can work with, and how-becomes wider.
For arousing compassion, the nineteenth-century yogi Patrul Rinpoche suggested imagining beings in torment - an animal about to be slaughtered, a person awaiting execution. To make it more immediate, he recommended imagining ourselves in their place. Particularly painful is his image of a mother with no arms watching as a raging river sweeps her child away. To contact the suffering of another being fully and directly is as painful as being in the woman's shoes.
Buddhist words such as compassion and emptiness don't mean much until we start cultivating our innate ability simply to be there with pain with an open heart and the willingness not to instantly try to get ground under our feet. For instance, if what we're feeling is rage, we usually assume that there are only two ways to relate to it. One is to blame others. Lay it all on somebody else; drive all blames into everyone else. The other alternative is to feel guilty about our rage and blame ourselves.

Most of you will be familiar with the blossom flower we use as a logo for Christian Survivors (on our main forum theme & on the website, and on our favicon. This beautiful, delicate flower is actually an Almond Blossom, which symbolizes hope. They're used in the bible to represent God's care and to symbolize something precious. Part of the reason for this is that they're one of the first flowers to bloom after the winter in the Middle East – a powerful symbol of hope! In addition it strikes us as important that almonds can be either sweet or bitter, like our lives as survivors.
The 5 Petals: Hope, Healing, Friendship, Speaking Out, & Safety! Beautiful Painting by Jo! Join us on Twitter #5petals
In honor of our 11th birthday in March 2011, we officially launched 5 Petals, alongside our Twitter page. At the heart of what we do here at CS are 5 concepts: Hope, Healing, Friendship, Speaking Out (breaking the silence forced on us by our abuse!) & Safety. Our almond blossom logo symbolizes these things – each petal representing one of them. We see them as the foundational supports of our organization, goals and forums.
We believe that recovery from abuse is possible and although this is usually a long process, it's something that every survivor deserves! The abuse we have endured has taken far too much of our lives and we want to see every survivor encouraged to not give up hope, to find a way to claim back their lives and no longer be dictated to by their past. These 5 key concepts very much describe our beliefs at CS, and what we try to accomplish in terms of the kind of environment our community forums have – and the things we hope for, for our members:
Every survivor deserves to have hope for the future – that things will get better.
Every survivor deserves to heal from what they've been through – and this is achievable!
No-one should have to be alone – survivors deserve to have friends & to be a friend to someone else!
Speak Out!
Abuse survivors have been silenced by violence, threats & shame, but every survivor deserves to speak out & be heard!
All survivors of abuse know what it's like to not be safe, but every human has the right to live in safety, and to find support in a safe environment.
If you are a survivor of abuse, you deserve to find healing and to recover from what was done to you – don't let anyone convince you otherwise! It will take time, and hard work… but it'll be worth it to be able to increasingly live life in freedom and to no longer allow those who have taken so much already, to take any more of your life – in all its fullness!
"Small acts, when multiplied by millions
of people, can transform the world."
Howard Zinn
If you're a survivor support or activist organization & would like to partner with us, please email us. We'd love to discuss the ways we can work together to make this project work!!

Oh, well.
In a previous "Commentary" published in the LWVVSMCPE last February, the headline editor at the Post DID NOT clearly identify opinions about the Lake Worth municipal pool as either "Commentary" or "Opinion". That is essential for newspaper readers to unambiguously understand (more about that below). The last line in the opinion piece about the City's pool was this:
"And the city has been drowning in it far too long."The quote above is not "news" — although it may be accurate for some "the city has been drowning in it" — that is clearly opinion. Opinion and commentary belongs on the editorial page. That's what the editorial page is for.
Whether the headline editor labels this matter correctly or not is up to the Post. Here on this blog, however, the "shameless exploitation" cited above was never a topic on this blog about the City of Lake Worth.
Anyhow, tomorrow is Lake Worth's Very Very Special Monday Collector Print Edition (LWVVSMCPE). Again. Each and every Monday.
|The cities of Greenacres, Palm Springs, Atlantis, and Lake Clarke Shores are not special. Those citizens should understand the LWVVSMCPE was not Lake Worth's idea. The editors at the Post made that decision . . . sans public debate and participation.
For more about "Commentary" and "Opinion" from The New York Times' "Clear Thinking, Clear Writing" is this:
"Distinguish between advocacy and news reporting. Analysis and commentary should be labeled. . .".
And if you think some in the City of Lake Worth are too critical of The Palm Beach Post:
"Encourage the public to voice grievances against the news media."
It's important to remember most subscribers of the Post get the print edition and eschew the online version. Note the online version about the "shameless exploitation at its highest" is clearly labeled "Commentary". And there's no reason that print subscribers shouldn't be clearly advised as well if this appears in the 'B', Local Section tomorrow.

SCHUBART (in reply to a question by Roosen): My estimate of the total mass of the asteroids refers to the observable objects. The mass contribution of the unobservable small asteroids with a diameter of less than 1 km is unknown.
KIANG: I may point out, that many decades ago attempts were made by Harzer to determine the total mass of the asteroid ring from gravitational effects using the perturbations on the orbit of Mars. A rather large, but extremely uncertain value of about one-tenth the mass of Earth was obtained.
SCHUBART: Harzer made his determination before the effects of relativity became known. It is, therefore, not based on real effects due to the asteroids; compare also von Brunn's (1910) work. We should not use gravitational determinations of the total mass, unless they are confirmed with modern computing techniques.

Schubart, J. 1970. The Planetary Masses and the Orbits of the First Four Minor Planets. Paper presented at IAU Colloquium no. 9. (1971, Celest. Mech., to be published.)
Over the past decade, largely because of the pioneer work of F. J. Low in Tucson, it has become possible to make accurate and reliable astronomical measurements at infrared wavelengths as long as 20 pm. At such wavelengths we see solar system bodies not by reflected sunlight but by their own thermal emission. The larger asteroids, though subtending small angles, give signals at 10 pum comparable in intensity with those from the brightest stars. It is now possible to determine the absolute flux from such asteroids to an accuracy of about 10 percent. Because an asteroid might reasonably be expected to have no atmosphere and no internal source of heat, the thermal radiation it emits must just balance the solar radiation it absorbs, and the measured flux will depend only upon its size. Infrared measurements therefore provide an opportunity to determine the diameters of the brighter asteroids.
Certain assumptions must be made before the infrared flux can be converted into a diameter. The ideal asteroid must not rotate (when viewed from the Sun) and must be a smooth spherical blackbody at the observing wavelength (~ 10 pm). In addition, the proportion of solar energy scattered by each element of surface must be represented by a single albedo, A (the Bond albedo). Then a measurement of the optical flux from the asteroid gives us the product d'A = p, where d is the diameter. The absorbed solar energy is proportional to 1 - A = 1 - psd", and the infrared flux is a complex function of d" that has previously been derived (Allen, 1970). Each infrared measurement can be converted directly to a diameter. In view of the assumptions made in defining this dimension, it will be called the infrared diameter. The relationship between infrared and true diameter is discussed below.
The infrared facility at the University of Minnesota (Ney and Stein, 1968) has been used to determine the infrared diameters of Ceres and Juno (Murdock, unpublished) and Vesta (Allen, 1970). The results are given in table I. It will be seen that in each case the infrared diameter exceeds Barnard's TABLE I.—Infrared Diameters of Three Asteroids
Asteroid Number of Infrared Barnard's Density, Reference
micrometer measures by about 50 percent, but that the corresponding densities seem more reasonable than those obtained by using Barnard's values (5.5 for Ceres and 8.5 for Vesta).
An asteroid will not, in general, be ideal, and the infrared diameter may bear little relationship to the linear dimension. For the larger bodies, at least, the figures will be similar. Table II shows the effect on the infrared diameter caused by a breakdown of the various assumptions.
TABLE II.-Breakdown of Assumptions
Assumption Effect on diameter, Sense"
Blackbody < 5 +
Dust 15 +
Rock 50 +
*+: linear diameter is greater than infrared diameter; -: linear diameter is less than infrared diameter.
Observations at two or three wavelengths in the 8 to 14 pm atmospheric window and around 20 pum have shown that Ceres, Juno, and Vesta are graybodies to within experimental uncertainty. Observations of the Moon and Mercury show these bodies to be close to black. It seems unlikely that asteroids have emissivities below 0.95.
The Moon and Mercury at full phase emit 30 percent more flux than would a smooth sphere because mountain slopes predominantly seen near the limb are
warmer than level terrain. In the extreme an asteroid might emit as a flat disk; the infrared diameter would then be 35 percent too large.
If an asteroid rotates, it emits some of its thermal radiation on the night side and the signal received at Earth is reduced. The exact reduction depends on the period and on the nature of the surface. The table shows the magnitude of the effect for a rotation period equal to that of Vesta and for two types of surface—solid rock and porous dust. We expect the largest asteroids to retain a cover of dust, as does the Moon, but smaller bodies with weaker surface gravities will probably behave as solid rock, and the infrared diameter will be much too low.
Even if the reflected sunlight is not well represented by the Bond albedo, the effect on an asteroid's diameter is slight. The figure in the table refers to a factor 2 error in albedo.
There is no evidence for variation of the infrared flux from the three asteroids discussed above. Matson' has, however, found some to vary considerably. In such cases, simultaneous optical and infrared measurements are needed to determine whether the variations are caused by changing albedo or shape or both.
With current detectors it is possible to measure reliable infrared diameters for several dozen asteroids. Notwithstanding the errors and uncertainties, these may be the most reliable dimensions currently available. When more accurate diameters are measured (Dollfus?), the infrared data will give us information on the roughness and thermal properties of the asteroids.

I am replacing the clutch on my '69 corvette and while it's out I figured I'd open the transmission and check if anything looked off. I've never rebuilt a transmission before so I don't really know what I'm looking for. Everything looks okay to me but maybe someone more knowledgeable here can give me their opinion.
While I was wrenching I figured I'd check out what was up with my truck popping the taillight fuses every now and then. I think I found the issue. I replaced the switch and repinned the connections. Hopefully that fixes it for good.

The Treasure of Khan is the second Clive Cussler novel that I have actually checked out of late. The initial was "Black Wind," a book that I located slightly entertaining. So, I guess what I was doing right here was either confirming my point of view of Mr. Cussler or offering him a 2nd opportunity.
Yes. I was giving Mr Cussler a second opportunity to hook me with his protagonist Dirk Pitt. I don't recognize how others really feel but also for me, it's the personalities rather than the actual tale itself – though it is a bonus when the tale is a tearing yarn as well.
Story Begin in Hakata Bay
The Treasure of Khan begins in Hakata Bay, Japan in 1281 AD. From there, pretty much it goes like a James Bond novel – all over the place. We get to see Siberia, Russia, China, Hawaii, Mongolia as well as even the mythological Xanadu. Most of the activity is in Mongolia – a place where all the names have as several vowels as consonants. For instance, the funding Ulaanbaatar. Is that a mouthful, or what?
In Mongolia we satisfy the wicked descendant of Genghis Khan as well as Kublai Khan. Through a method that I will not go over so I do not ruin it for meaning viewers this crook (like – what else could he be with an ancestry like that?) is making use of valuable treasures from Great, Great, Great (include ten even more "Greats") Grand-pappy Genghis to fund a method of oil exploration. He hits the mark and also expects to make an even larger ton of money by selling the oil to the Chinese that are hopeless for it – many thanks to a few other things that he organizes along the way.
I saw in the previous novel that Clive Cussler offered his own name a little cameo appearance. He does so once more in this book. I in fact such as this suggestion. It's absolutely nothing much more than a fleeting reference however it is skillfully done. It's a bit Hitchcockish.
Another point that I couldn't assist but see was several referrals to AK-74 attack rifles. I do not know who proof-reads Mr Cussler's drafts yet I assume they missed out on that. Definitely, he implied AK-47 attack rifles – every half-decent terrorist's weapon of selection. There are various other mistakes also, such as:
"Like an oasis nourishing a heard of parched camels …".
You will not obtain a reward off me for picking the evident mistake in the 9 words quoted verbatim over. Hmm, maybe I am just way as well picky!
Then there was the exceptionally UN-believable battle scene in between the 20 year-old swimsuit clad Summertime Pitt (our hero Dirk's little girl) and also a mean, heavyweight, evil punk greater than two times her age and two times her weight. Cussler's description of the so-called techniques used in that encounter made me flinch (Side bar: I have 36 years' experience in these issues). There is simply NO WAY on God's environment-friendly earth that it might happen. Utterly absurd.
All in all I located the story hopped along, the characters were relatively common and the circumstances rather extra-ordinary. I do not assume I will bother reviewing anymore of Clive's books. The characters are just as well woody for me. And Cussler trots from country to nation more frequently than I make brows through to the corner store.
Rating of The Book
The Treasure of Khan gets a pass mark however only just – 5.5 out of 10. I was going to note it a 5.0 but I did discover a few fascinating features of seismology, particularly the term seiche wave. For anyone interested it is the freshwater lake matching of the ocean's tidal wave and also it is smaller in size.
See? You can still learn things from books that you do not especially like.

7 Ways to Tell if Your Metrics Matter
Many times when we are working on metrics projects, we are asked the question, "Which metrics should we be focusing on?" In other words which metrics are the ones that are tightly linked to measuring the desired business results? It is a valid question, but a difficult one.
I have a passion around HR Metrics but this discussion can apply to any organizational metrics, as I have had conversations with marketing, operations and sales professionals that struggle with WHAT to measure.
Below is a list of questions we have asked in the quest for making metrics matter:
1) Did you start your metrics journey by mapping your organizational strategy?
2) Do you use value metrics that are tightly linked to profits, revenue, cost or budget?
3) Is it a metric that is near and dear to your CEO's heart?
4) Does the metric stand the test of time? (it is used to gain valuable trending information)
5) Is it a metric that you take action on when it changes?
6) Is it a metric that can be used to be predictive?
7) Does the metric measure efficiency or effectiveness? Do you need both to tell the whole story?
After the questions above are answered, you can usually get a really good first "draft" of metrics that are candidates for the "ones that matter most."
I have been in many meetings where we started out with hundreds, yes I did say hundreds of metrics and reduced those to less than half...because they really didn't matter.
If I have learned one thing this year it is the importance to tell a story with your data. Context is crucial when you are reporting data. Data is just data until you tell a compelling story. Then data becomes insight which leads to better decision, better results, and a competitive advantage for your organization.
Ask yourself the questions above...how many of your metrics truly matter? I bet it's not 100!

Thanks for pointing out the importance of telling a story with data. Too often reporting is reduced to just a bunch of numbers and pretty graphs, but nothing actionable.

Unfortunately I learned that the hard way. When you work with data you are so "proud" of it, you want to show your work. But the point is nobody cares, until you get to the impact slide. We just learned to tell a story around a couple of slides and that works best! At least I don't se too many Blackberries being used!

Lee McCulloch: Kilmarnock ready to appoint former Scotland striker as manager
- From the section Football
Lee McCulloch will be confirmed as the manager of Kilmarnock at the beginning of next week.
McCulloch, 39, has been in interim charge since the departure of Lee Clark, and steered the club clear of a relegation battle.
The former Rangers and Scotland player is expected to sign a three-year contract at Rugby Park.
Killie start their 2017-18 season with League Cup first-round group fixtures in July.
They have been drawn in Group E with Annan Athletic, Ayr United, Clyde and Dumbarton.
After a playing career that took in spells at Motherwell and Wigan Athletic and resulted in 18 international caps, McCulloch joined Kilmarnock as part of manager Gary Locke's backroom team in 2015.
When Locke left Rugby Park in early 2016, McCulloch was in charge of the first team for two games until Clark was appointed.
Clark left for Bury in February and McCulloch guided Killie through their remaining 14 games of the season, winning four and drawing four.
Since Jim Jefferies' near eight-year spell in charge at Rugby Park ended in 2010, Kilmarnock have had seven different managers, including McCulloch.
In recent weeks, Kirsten Callaghan has been appointed as the club's new chief executive and former chairman Michael Johnston has resigned from his positions as a director and the company secretary.

Enhanced oil recovery specialist Denbury Resources (DNR) can generate significant cash margins over extended periods of high oil prices, but it doesn't seem to be suiting the needs and tastes of the market right now. Some investors seem disappointed that the company elected not to convert to an MLP structure, while others worry about the company's relatively modest production growth outlook and its sensitivity to lower oil prices.
I don't find Denbury strikingly
cheap, at least not in comparison to some other alternatives in the
market, but it offers a different risk/reward profile than many other
oil stocks. With management now more focused on returning capital to
shareholders and with less drillbit risk here (relative at least to
companies in the Bakken, Eagle Ford, or Niobrara regions), Denbury
strikes me as an option for playing a high oil price outlook with less
operational risk.
