Sometimes, I can really identify with the prophet Elijah. After he had defeated the false prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18), a success which surely had him at the top of the world, he was then confronted by Queen Jezebel, who threatened to kill him.
What does our prophet do?
He runs for his life. I am pretty sure this is what I would do.
Discouraged and feeling like a failure, he prays to God to let him die. Instead, an angel comes to him and gives him water and cake and tells him to eat. Depressed Elijah goes right back to sleep. The angel again tells him to eat. Finally, he gets up. Sustained by the angelic food, he travels to the wilderness.
He journeys into the wilderness to hear the voice of God.
God was so attentive to Elijah's needs, that He sent an angel with cake! Sometimes, we can really use some dark chocolate decadence. But today (and every day) God gives us heavenly bread for the strength we each need to continue our own journey. We don't have to wait for an angel to bring us some hearth cake; we have the opportunity to receive Jesus Christ himself each day in the Eucharist. But we are like Elijah and don't always immediately rise up and begin the journey.
Sometimes (OK, a lot of times) we go back to sleep.
We hit the snooze alarm instead of waking early to say morning prayers, we fail to speak the truth, we shy away from helping out when our parish is in need of volunteers, or we give in to petty jealousies and gossip. We fail many times even after resolving to remain strong in the Lord.
But as Father Corapi once said, a soldier is not condemned for falling after being shot; he is only condemned for deserting. So long as we get up again, we are not deserters; we are wounded soldiers.
Even Elijah the prophet went back to sleep after the angel of the Lord gave him food and drink.
Sometimes, we have to be that discouraged, hit rock bottom, to be open to hearing the whisper of God's voice in our hearts.
And, what did God say to Elijah in the desert? "What are you doing here?" Despite Elijah's lack of courage, his complaints, and his despair, God sends him right back to work.
When we are depressed or discouraged or feel like a failure due to a job loss, an illness, or a difficult family situation, remember that the prophet Elijah was eventually taken to heaven in a flaming chariot (2 Kings 2:11)—but not before he had been so down in the dumps that he had wanted to die.

The FREE Investment Newsletter That Really Works!
We said way back in May of this year that the closer we get to the elections in November, the more they're going to paint the tape, and fudge the economic numbers. The President has been telling anyone that will listen about how many jobs he's created and how the stock market is proof that his agenda's and the work done by his Democrats has worked. But as anyone with a living brain cell knows, the stock market has NOTHING to do with the economy any more.

Optimum path planning for hole making process
Paper Topic :
Author Name :
Santosh Khalkar
Abstract :
This paper deals with the optimization of hole-making operations in conditions where a hole may need several tools to get completed and to provide an efficient solution by using real coded Genetic Algorithm. The objective of interest in the considered problem is to minimize the summation of tool airtime and tool switch time. This objective is affected by the sequence through which each operation of each hole is done. The problem is formulated as a mathematical model. The paper includes an illustrative example which shows the application of the proposed algorithm to optimize the sequence of hole-making operations in a typical industrial part. The performance of the proposed algorithm is tested through solving real industrial problem. The computational result conducted in this research indicates that the proposed method is both effective and efficient.

Apple shares fall after iPhone sales miss forecasts
- Published
The world's most valuable technology company, Apple, has reported an 85% rise in its full-year results.
Net profit for the year ending 24 September was $25.9bn (£16.5bn).
However, its shares fell more than 5% in after-hours trading after fourth quarter iPhone sales were weaker than experts predicted. The new 4S model was launched after the period.
Overall revenues totalled $28.27bn for the three months. That was more than $1bn shy of Wall Street forecasts.
It is the first time that Apple has missed analysts' sales forecasts since 2008.
Delayed purchases
During a conference call, chief executive Tim Cook suggested demand for the iPhone 4 had been dampened by rumours that a new model was about to be released.
"The reduction happened largely in the back half of the quarter as the speculation hit extreme highs," said Mr Cook.
"However, we're thrilled to be shipping the new iPhone 4S... and we're very confident that we will set an all-time record in the December quarter for iPhone sales."
Apple sold 17.1 million iPhones in the last quarter. That was a 21% increase on the same period last year, but analysts had expected sales of 20 million.
The firm said handset orders had also been affected by a decision to delay new partnerships.
"We opted to defer adding new carriers or countries during the September quarter knowing that we would launch the iPhone 4S very early in the October month, and we wanted to launch our new carriers with our latest products so we waited," said chief financial officer, Peter Oppenheimer.
The post-Jobs era
The earnings are the first to be released by Apple since the death of its co-founder Steve Jobs.
Mr Cook marked the occasion by paying tribute to his predecessor.
"Steve was a great leader and mentor and inspired everyone at Apple to do extraordinary things," he said.
"I'd like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude for all of the condolences and expressions of support that we have received following Steve's passing."
Despite the iPhone figures Apple said it was "thrilled" by the results.
It sold 11.12 million iPads over the latest quarter, which was a 166% rise on the same period last year.
Sales of the Mac computers totalled 4.89 million, a 26% rise and an all-time record.
Mr Cook said he was particularly excited by China, where sales are growing at a "feverish" pace.
Greater China revenue accounted for 16% of Apple's revenue in the fourth quarter, up from 2% in 2009.
"Certainly in my lifetime, I've never seen a country with as many people rising into the middle class that aspire to buy products that Apple makes," Mr Cook said.
He said the company was also focussing on Brazil where sales had increased 118% over the past year, topping $900m.
Natural disaster
Apple warned that the recent flooding in Thailand might cause it problems sourcing hard discs and components for its Macs.
"I'm virtually certain there will be an overall industry shortage of disc drives as a result of the disaster," said Mr Cook.
"How it affects Apple? I'm not sure."
Analysts are split over whether the after-hours sell-off was overdone.
"The numbers came in weak. They need to set records every time they report to keep up the momentum," said Colin Gillis, analyst at BGC Partners.
But Shaw Wu, an analyst at Sterne Agee, said: "The numbers are actually quite good. The reason why the stock is off... I think some of the analysts got carried away."

Leadership Development Program
The Camp Hawkeye Leadership Development Program is a progressive two-year experience. It delivers training and experience, direction and mentoring, as well as opportunities for application of leadership. The first year is a 4 or 8 week experience as part of the Counselor in Training program (CiT), and the second year a 5 week experience as a member of the Junior Counselor group (JC).
The two-year program bridges the transition from camper to staff member and provides the foundational elements to each participant's growth into a great counselor. The changing expectations from camper to staff, from "kid" to "adult" in the context of our camp community can be challenging. The guidance and mentoring provided by the CiT Coordinator and subsequently the JC Supervisor support a positive and productive transition.
Year 1: CiT Program Provides:
Year 2: JC Program Provides:
What is a CiT? At Hawkeye CiT is an acronym for Counselor in Training. These community members are all young adults, sixteen or seventeen years old, which are in a transitional role between campers and counselors. It's the best of both worlds; participate in Capture the Flag, dig up a treasure chest, and discover Tribe Eggs, while having a schedule with more freedom and responsibility.
Being a CiT is truly awesome. Moving out of a traditional camper role CiT's enjoy greater freedoms around camp while still not burdened with the tasks of a counselor. CiT's live in their own cabins, operate on a different schedule, and play a more central role in many special and everyday activities.
The CiT program was created for two reasons; (1) to allow for the further participation of slightly older individuals, 16 & 17 year-olds, in our camp community, and, (2) to train interested individuals to be capable and reliable counselors in our program.
Each CiT's time at camp is divided into four categories:
At the start of the session CiT's choose one or more program areas in which to spend their apprenticeship time during which they learn the many varied skills of activity planning, counseling, and leadership that are necessary to be a dependable, qualified, and caring camp counselor.
CiT's are overseen by a member of the Leadership Staff who acts as mentor, supervisor and, at times, cabin counselor. This staff member tracks and evaluates each CiT's progress over the course of the summer. S/he ensures that each CiT is comfortable in their role, learning their desired skills, and being properly utilized in their chosen program areas. A CiT may switch their specialty area if both the CiT and mentor believe this beneficial to the camp community.
CiT's that complete the program successfully are given right of first refusal for Junior Counselors in the following summer. It is our goal to develop responsible and capable staff members that take on significant leadership roles within our community.
What is a JC? Young adults, seventeen to twenty years old, on the cusp of counselorship. Live in the Staff Cabin, check, even more freedom, check, and further increased responsibility, double-check.
If you want to be a cabin counselor at 18 years old...you've got to be a JC. Tackling this program and pinning it for the win gives you a leg up on staff roles for next year. Not only are you first in line but you've got extra training, experience, and valuable time in the staff world.
The JC program was created for two reasons; (1) to bridge the gap in participation for older participants, and, (2) to expose future counselors to the background and support responsibilities around camp in order to understand the organization from the back end front and gain an appreciation for the non-counseling work that goes into every activity and every day.
Each JC's time at camp is divided into four categories:
JC's have a significant amount of free time in camp. The learning and required responsibilities only account for 6-7 hours of each day. The rest of the time can be spent participating in something fun around camp, laying in a hammock, or any other camp appropriate free time endeavor. JC's have one day out of camp with staff each week and additional time off each night.
JC's that complete the program successfully are given right of first refusal for Cabin Staff openings in the following summer. We want to hire you! Be awesome and give us no other choice.
Each year our Counselor in Training group can number from 8 - 24 participants. That number is pared down when it comes to Junior Counselor applications. The JC program accommodates a maximum of 12 participants for half of the summer each.

IN spite of what some might think I am still caught up in books and live in a state of actual anticipation. The other day is no exception. A publicist at FSG sent an email reminding me about some book or another and I replied asking if the Roberto Bolano galleys had shown up--- FSG is publishing 2666 in November 2008--- He wrote back saying they had and he'd put them in the mail to me. I called and said could I just walk over as FSG is nearby.
The 18 blocks over there, thinking will there be that awful disappointment... which is always possible...
Next to FSG is Academy Records on 18th Street and for some reason they have a pretty good selection of VHS tapes and WEEKEND was in... for a few bucks... there is a Godard festival coming to NY in a few weeks. I had seen all the Godard films, like anyone actually alive in NY in the 60s 70s-- right down to Vladimir and Rosa--- if you want to know... but anyway up to the 8th floor and the package is waiting.
Do I open it or wait for the street? The circulation department of the New York Post shares the building with FSG and some guys from there got on and one does not want to read with strangers looking on in the intimate confines of an elevator.
So to the street and in the shade as the noise of the city counterpoints, carefully opening, avoiding the staples and then the fat galleys 898 pages: and that first line-- okay a note from the heirs as the book is posthumous then a quote from Baudelaire: An Oasis of horror in a desert of boredom.
A good sign to be sure... but the first line of the novel::: The first time that Jean-Claude Pelletier read Benno von Archimboldi was Christmas 1980, in Paris, when he was nineteen years old and studying German literature. The book in question...
I closed the galleys, carefully put them back into the envelope and walked home through Union Square knowing that I had a reason to postpone suicide for more than one day as we must always keep in mind as Cioran says each book is a postponed suicide and the comfort of knowing that a great book will be my companion for many months... even the annoying fake artists, merchants of political trivia and tourists taking pictures of each other seemed as rich a material as any scene in Chaucer... the shishkabob seller on the other side of 14th Street, the large black woman with the dollar bottles of water in front of the discount shoe store... the pretty girls going into Whole Foods thus endangering their lives because who knows what homicidal maniacs lurk in the aisles of that institution... but in my hand the package containing 2666 Roberto Bolano's last novel... the proper names approximating, the specific dates, age of the boy, the city...those very sharp hooks.
To quote blurbs from my own review of THE SAVAGE DETECTIVES that appeared in the LA Times: The Savage Detectives throws down a great clunking formal gauntlet to the reader's conventional expectations... Only time will supply the adjective great to what is a very good novel.

Optimism From Spanish Bailout Is Short Lived

Voluntourism: Who's Doing What, Where, And How
ChaCha has this handy graphic about travel's newest trend, voluntourism, showing who's doing it, where they're going, and what they're doing. Turns out the top three spots for the million or so Americans in 2009 who partook in international voluntravel, Peru was the most popular (16%), followed by Costa Rica (14%) and South Africa (13%). (Interesting, seems the lower-temperature regions of the world are in less need of help?)
Men are also way behind in their altruism, with women beating them nearly 2 to 1. And, as the graphic's note points out, the number of people taking such trips increased by 46% (from 4.7 million people to 6.2 million people) from 2007 to 2008, a good sign for this new travel trend. Now if only more organizations were in need of the skills of an experienced blogger to lend them a hand for a few weeks. . .

El Lago
Famed for being one of the main hideouts of the pirate and war-hero, Jean Latiffe, El Lago is a town of historical significance. Located in Harris County, Texas, by the shores of Taylor Lake, El Lago's close proximity to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has made it one of the choice addresses for its employees. It provides a sense of peace and quiet to its residents while maintaining adequate access to the city. Expect a healthy growth of mature trees dotting the neighborhood and residents enjoy free access to the lake on any given day. As such, it has retained much of its small town charm over the years. Notably, it was also the residence of the first two people on the moon, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Since the heydays of the Space Race, El Lago has been the home of over 46 astronauts. All of them are recognized by the city, in the El Lago Astronaut Wall of Fame.
Real Estate
For those looking for an idyllic community to live in, El Lago is the perfect location. With the cost of living much lower than the national average, housing options follow the same price range. This is perhaps the best time to purchase your own home in El Lago. Choose from a wide variety of properties in the area that will suit your needs. Houses range from cozy single-family homes with wide lawns, perfect for starting families, spacious ranch-style homes perfect as a vacation home, and even grand estates with sweeping views of the lakeside.

This week will mark the second year anniversary of when our daughter came home. As I've written about before, we celebrate Homecoming Day's in our family, so this is her 2nd Homecoming Day. There are so many adoption milestones to celebrate in adoption (panels, meeting each other for the first time, coming home), but because a Homecoming Day is familiar to us, and because when she came home for the first time, our daughter then never left, we decided to go for this one to be the main celebration. The date also happens to be the same date as our wedding anniversary, so we can celebrate two family 'birthdays' in one. It's a very special date, the day we became 2, and 4 years later we became 3….. (see One Whole Year & Happy Homecoming Day for more about Homecoming Days)
I've been thinking about how we've all changed, and about how much we as parents have learnt in this time. We may not be quite the parents we imagined or pictured ourselves to be, but I think we've all done well to come out of the early days/years still standing strong. Below are some of the biggest areas I've been reflecting on. I've written about most of these before, so i've added links to previous blog posts if you want to read more.
1) don't expect to be perfect: In the very early days I think I thought I needed to always be perfect. I put a lot of pressure on myself to be the perfect Mum, and of course I'd predictably slip up. I then felt like I'd failed, and it really knocked my self-esteem and confidence. I slowly learnt that it's ok to be 'good enough', and no parent is perfect all the time. We're human, and humans make mistakes. It's good for children to see that parents don't always get it right, but they always say sorry and make up. I've learnt that reconnection and repair as vitally important, and it's helpful to model normal, natural relationships in families. Once I'd accepted I wasn't perfect I was able to relax a little bit, and enjoy being a Mum. (see more at: Pressure, )
2) You don't have to love each other straight away: I think this is a really important one, and one that needs to be said more often. I think I did love her straight away (I mean who couldn't?…), but it took several months for that love to really grow into what it is now. True love did come, but it wasn't always easy at first. I don't think she loved us straight away, she had just been taken away from everything she knew to live with two strangers so of course she didn't. She called us Mummy & Daddy from the start, but I'm not sure she really knew what that meant. It was lovely seeing that love between us grow, and when she really meant Mummy & Daddy, and knew us as her's, that's when I knew she loved us too. Sometimes when it's tough, and her behaviour is somewhat challenging, we tell that we might not like the behaviour, but we always always love her. I do try to see behind the behaviour, and assume that there is a reason behind it, and try to tackle that instead. (see more at: Love)
3) Believe in yourselves: I think sometimes I doubted if I was doing the right thing, or parenting in the right way, particulalry when others would comment or question why were or not doing specific things. I soon learnt that it's ok to stick up for ourselves, we know our daughter and our family best, and we know whats best for us all. If we choose to do some things differently to others, there is normally a good reason why. We encourage her to play with toys that are aimed at a younger age, and we sometimes parent her at a much younger age (e.g. she sometimes has bottles and dummies). We still sing nursery rhymes each night and rock her. We normally dress her in the morning and at night. It almost seems wrong to 'baby' her, but if it gives her the nurture that she may have missed out on, and allows her to accept help and care, then this will hopefully help to fill in possible missed developmental gaps. This will hopefully set her up well to deal with the challenges that will come ahead. Getting that balance right for a very tall, very bright four year old can be tricky, but so far I think we're doing ok (see more at Balancing Act)
4) Continue to learn: I think parenting is a bit like learning to drive, you can train, practice and learn all you like, but once you've passed the test and can actually drive, you're on a very steep learning curve of high intensity new learning. When our daughter came home, we'd read (some) of the books, attended extra training felt like we were ready. I don't think we were remotely prepared for the reality of parenting a little person, who was also hurting and grieving. I think I was also grieving my old life to some extent.
However, I think since she's been home I've learnt so much more. I've learnt about me. I've been surprised in some ways. I thought I was patient and I've learnt that I'm really not. I've also leant that I am quite creative, and have loved making some arty projects with my daughter.
I've also learnt more about adoption and some of the subjects surrounding it. I'd heard about therapeutic parenting before, but it makes so much more sense when you have a child to use it with. One of the things that has had the most impact and positive effect was learning that it's ok to let some things go in parenting. It's similar to picking your battles. It's really helped me to relax a little bit, and enjoy parenting more. I've learnt more about sensory processing, and have successfully implemented some strategies which I think have helped. I've loved reading others blogs and experiences of adoption. I've used lots of their advice and experience to help me become a better parent. I've learnt about other adoptee's experiences and views. I've tried to use these as preparation for parenting our daughter as she grows up. It's not always been easy to hear what other adoptees have to say, but it's opened my eyes to how she may well feel when she's older. (see more at Voices, Sensory Processing, & Let it Go!)
5) Surround yourselves with support: Before you adopt they say that you need to have a good support network to help you raise your children. It made sense in theory, but I've since learnt that is is so important in practice. Our support network has changed and grown in the last couple of years. I'm really grateful for friends that 'get' adoption, but also for those who have nothing to do with it. I've learnt that its ok to use those who support us to help us, it's ok to let them look after our daughter to give us a break. We're all better people when we have a break. It's only really in the last year that I really felt connected to new people in our support network. I think the first year was actually quite lonely, so having more 'support' has made a massive difference. (see more at Our Village)
6) Self Care: Again, this was something I'd heard a lot about before adoption, and it only really made sense afterwards. I have tried to make sure I do things for me. I make sure I keep my mind and body active. I also remind myself that it's ok to just sit and relax too. It's been helpful to set goals, and running a 10km (on a very hot day) was a massive achievement because it meant that I could still run. It was something that I'd enjoyed doing before I became a mum. (see more atWhy I love being an OT & Favourite Things)
7) Chase, chase, chase: We've learnt that if you want or need anything from professionals, then it's really our responsibility to chase them regularly. They are so stretched that sometimes they need a little prompt to remember to do something they said they would do. We've been waiting now nearly a year and a half for some low level post adoption support. I think part of the problem was that we initially didn't chase enough. We felt that we understood that professionals are busy, so trusted that they would get round to us, eventually. We've since learnt that it's in our daughter's best interests to get the support she needs and is entitled to. Regular (polite) emails seem to be helping, although it is hard not to get frustrated. I know that in my job if I kept people waiting without any communication as long as we have, that would be unacceptable and I'd be expecting a complaint to come my way. i guess we're maybe reluctant to complain in case it delays getting what we need….Some professionals have been great, and I did want to acknowledge and thank them. (see more at Thank You)
8) Savour the time when they're little: Our daughter has just started school, and it's made me so grateful that we had two full years together before we've had to let her go a bit. The first year I was off work on adoption leave, and the second year I was back at work part time. Looking back it wasn't always easy, especially in the early days, but now I'm so glad that we were lucky enough to have the time together. We were able to really take the time to get to know each other and strengthen our attachment. Husband initially worked from home, so was around the whole time, so we had 6months all at home together, learning how to be a family. Once we were more settled, we were able to get involved in some great local groups and more recently we've had some amazing days out. We've been able to play, to read, to explore, to learn together. Our daughter has changed so so much in the two years she's been home, and I'm so glad we've been able to spend so much time together. Now she's at school, I look back and I'm very grateful for what we've had. (See more at Starting School & Starting Nursery)
9) Life Story Work: This is another area that you learn about before adoption, but again, it makes much more sense once you have to do it in real life. It's always been our aim that it is not a surprise to our daughter that she is adopted. We want her to know from a young age the basics of her story, and to build on it as she gets older. We have been able to have some very informal discussions as and when she brings it up. we've talked quite a bit about her birth and foster families, so she knows why she couldn't live with them long term. She's started asking more questions now, so it may the right time to get her involved in letterbox contact. We have shared the Life Story Book, but she hasn't asked to look at it again. so we've not pushed it. She has photos of both her birth and foster families, so they are always there to prompt discussion is she chooses. We talk about why we went to see the judge, and also about the significance of her homecoming day. I think that as she becomes more aware in the next couple of years, we're going to need to do more work around this, and probably have some more support too. We have made an effort to keep in touch with the foster family and have had a couple of successful meet-ups. We've also had very positive meet-ups with a member of her birth family. (see more at Hello, Give me back to Mummy, Life Story, Life Story. Pt 2, Family Meet Up, Take Two)

Reviews (4.1 out of 5 Grommets)
Like that I'm able to use something natural to clean my teeth. Really easy to use.
I keep one in my purse and overnight bag, so I can clean my teeth whenever I need to. Easy, and thorough. Teeth never felt cleaner.
Interesting item that really makes your teeth feel smooth and clean, would suggest you try it>
Teeth feel great! Can get to both sides of teeth and in hard to reach places.
The instructions could be a little more detailed but when you use the Miswak it is very obvious that stains are removed from your teeth.
My son really liked these. Need to get more.
Love carrying these in my purse, great for teeth cleaning when I can't brush
It is so easy to use one of these little beauties after a meal out. I carry one in my purse at all times. So if I'm on a trip and forgot to pack my toothbrush -- voila, problem solved.
Best of all, my gum health has improved over the last couple of years since using these regularly. I really didn't even think that was possible at my age (50-something) -- I was only hoping to keep my gums from getting worse. But it's apparently amazing what a daily gum massage can do -- and this is perfect for that! Doesn't irritate sensitive gums, but makes it very easy to clean at and under the gum line. It's even soothing after flossing.
Doesn't whiten as well as a whitening paste, so I still use paste and standard "sonic" toothbrush at least once a day. But I do think the miswak stick gets my teeth cleaner, and it's so gentle, I don't mind using it several times a day.
My dad was not able to get up and brush his teeth and he used this. it worked great
I Love the teeth cleaning twigs. I can pull it out of my purse in the car between meals and it cleans without pulling out a nasty bacteria filled toothbrush I used to keep in my purse. I recommend this product!
The Miswak Club Story
Branch Out
A miswak is a Peelu tree branch, which has natural fibers and a list of effective natural ingredients for oral health. Nibble back the bark, reveal the miswak's bristles, then brush. Naturally occurring antiseptics and oils help kill germs and freshen breath. It also has resins that protect enamel, and natural abrasives like silica and sodium bicarbonate—a.k.a. baking soda—that gently scrub and whiten.
As for the Miswak Club, Founder Rahat Bashar started it after searching for an all-natural alternative to dental products riddled with mysterious chemicals. When he learned about the miswak, he created the "Club" to bring it to others. And he decided to harvest the best kind—their trees are grown in healthy soil that contains no chemicals or pesticides. These miswaks are lightly colored, which means they are fresh and flexible.
Since you don't need water (or toothpaste) to brush, a miswak is great for camping and other outdoor excursions. One also makes a nice supplement to your normal routine, traveling easily in a backpack or purse. Wherever you use it, it's a great way to "branch out" when it comes to oral hygiene.

Independent Death/Black/Thrash Metal label & Mail-order. Focusing on vinyl releases.
70.00 kr
This item and orders including this item ship on or around April 20th.
BLOOD HARVEST RECORDS and HELTER SKELTER PRODUCTIONS are proud to present a special split EP between DESEKRYPTOR and DRAGHKAR on cassette tape and 7″ vinyl formats. The tape version will be released on April 20th while the vinyl version will follow later around June 15th.
Striking while the iron's hot, this split between DESEKRYPTOR and DRAGHKAR follows respective cassette releases on BLOOD HARVEST last year. DESEKRYPTOR's track continues the gangrenous punishment of their Chasm of Rot EP, here with an added clarity that somehow makes their sepulchral Metal of Death even more miasmic and malodorous. DRAGHKAR also offer up a new track, here foregoing their more doomed-out style on the World Unraveled EP for a more uptempo style of death metal that nevertheless retains its old-school classicism. Together, both bands get in and get out, decimating the listener with nothing but the purest DEATH FUCKING METAL!

I decided it wasn't really version 3.0. I frogged it back to the ribbing and decreased the number of white stitches to 20 from 30. Mr. Penguin is on a 10 stitch diet now, so he's not so Fatty McFatster now. So I made it version 2.5… or maybe 2.75. The math seemed to work out fine. I was worried about the decreases. I added more shaping in 2.0. I just reversed which color it happened in for 2.75. It's amazing what happens when I think about things BEFORE doing them.
And of course… a picture on the Glass head. Did you know that Pier 1 claims this is one of their best selling items ever? Or at least that's what the girl in the store told me when I bought mine. And really who doesn't want a glass head, I think it's made of awesome.
The pattern has been sent to a few friends who are going to test knit it/read it for me. It makes sense in my head, and we all know that can be a scary place. I also tend to leave letters/numbers off because my brain has already anticipated the information even if it's not there. So as soon as they ok it, I'll convert it to a PDF and post it on Ravelry.
I believe I will be doing Christmas with the Leftwich's on Monday – so there will be pictures of the penguin hat with it's new owner next week.

Perhaps one of the greatest things about winter is the plethora of snow activities to choose from on a daily basis. As much as we all thrive off of great days skiing or riding, sometimes it's a welcomed change to do something different. Here are some other activities to try while enjoying the elements and getting some great exercise.
Take 10 minutes to warm up and stretch before beginning any exercise. Get the muscles loose, the blood pumping, and the rest of your body and mind prepared for physical exertion.
Hiking in the snow is a little bit like walking in the sand. The extra effort put into each step really adds up. Not only does it challenge your calves, but also the rest of your leg muscles and core. For added support try the Yaktrax. Strap on a pair of snowshoes for an additional huff. Most outdoor shops have rental snowshoes available. Hiking or snowshoeing is a great way to spend an afternoon, evening, or full moon during the winter months.
Skinning is like climbing for winter enthusiasts. Although the setup involves expensive equipment, there are less expensive ways to try out Alpine Touring. Rent the skis, boots, and skins at an outdoor store or borrow a friend's equipment. Make sure that the boots are the right size and are comfortable for your foot. Wrong boots are a little bit like wrong hikers that will leave you with nothing but blisters and misery. Also make sure the boots fit into the bindings properly.
Getting all the way up and not being able to come down is not our kind of fun. Before heading out on the trail, go through the process of putting the skins on your skis and taking them off. You want to make sure they are long enough for the skis as well as staying stuck to the bases. Your effort uphill will become a lot harder for a lot less vertical gain without good skins. Skinning is all up hill from there,once you are dialed in. The reward of earning your every turn is an incredible feeling, all the while getting in a great day's exercise.
Traditional cross-country or skate skiing are two more options to enjoy a beautiful winter's day. Almost all ski resorts have a Nordic center nearby. Bring your own equipment or rent everything there. Take in the views and enjoy the relation you share with nature. Skate skiing can be an incredible calorie burn.
"I grew up cross-country skiing, so that's all I knew," says Jess Aldighieri. As a former collegiate competitor in the sport, her fitness is still in top condition. Since retiring from the event she's since become an avid alpine skier. "I can't believe what a strong overall physical base Nordic skiing has given me. Now I go Alpine skiing for fun, then come home, change, and hit the trails for a couple of hours to get a good workout."
Remember to wear appropriate clothing for each exercise. Thermal layers are always the way to go for sweat wicking and warmth. It's better to have to take clothes off rather than not have enough to put on. Wool ski socks, a hat that covers your ears, appropriate gloves, and sensible eye wear are all vital necessities for winter elements. Keep extra dry clothes in a backpack or your car to be able to change into once you're finished.
Water and snacks are just as important. Keep a water bottle accessible at all times. Snacks should be just as readily available.
A cool down is as important as your warm up. Stretch your tired muscles. Let your heart rate come back to a normal beat before jumping in the car or plopping down on the couch.
