Jon Lajoie – The League – Birthday Song
This is my version of the Birthday song, Natasha!
[Verse One – Jon Lajoie – The League – Birthday Song]
Happy Birthday.
Its your birthday today,
What does that me mean
I'll guess I try to explain
That 21 years ago on this day
It was the first time
Your parents saw your beautiful face
And nine months before that magical day
Your dad probably took your mom out on a date
And they were havin' a good time
They were dancin' and drinking wine
And when they got home
They were horny as hell
And your dad threw your mom down on the bed
And he tore her panties off
And his penis was hard as a rock
And then your mom really want to give your dad head
But your dad also wanted to give your mom head
So they formed a 69 and your mom came at least three times
And your dad was so excited to get inside your mom that he forgot to put a condom on
And when he realized his mistake
He had ejaculated and it was too late
And then your mom got pregnant
And your dad started cryin'
He wanted your mom to get an abortion
But your mom wanted a child
And then nine months later you were born
And then five months later your parents got a divorce
Happy birthday Natasha

So you want to be a missionary, but you are into theater? The Horvats are doing what all missionaries should do: using their God-given interests and gifts, but overseas. If you don't know where Croatia is, or what drama-missions is, come hear them speak tonight at 7:30pm in the recital hall, at the Center for the Performing Arts at Belhaven. It will encourage you to follow their innovative ministry.
We heard from the Horvats on Thursday night in the Modern cross-cultural methods class. They talked about the division between Catholicism in Croatia and the Eastern Orthodox church in Serbia, and how the two ethnic groups find sharp divisions linguistically, though they share a common language. (Croats use the Roman alphabet and Serbs use the Cyrillic).

Formed in 1999 by a volunteer group in Latvia to search the battlefields of Kurland (Latvia) for lost and missing German and Russian solders who fought there in world war 2 we have recovered hundreds in the last 15 years many of whom have been identified and relatives informed of there discovery.
We are all volunteers and do this hard and sometimes perilous work giving up our free time and also funding our own expedition's to pursue this noble cause but feel its a worthy thing to do to find these lost soldiers and hopefully give them a proper burial and if possible find a relative to give them some closure for there missing loved one.
Since our inception in 1999 our membership has blossomed and we now have people coming to help us from as far a field as Canada and the US we also have members from Norway, Sweden the UK and other European countries.
Legenda is one of the few non German search groups working today searching for missing German and Russian soldiers.
All Russian soldiers recovered by Legenda are collected then buried in a ceremony every April in a town near Riga with full military honours and attended by high ranking dignitaries from the Latvian and Russian governments.
All German soldiers recovered by Legenda are handed over to the German war graves commission for re burial in various cemeteries throughout Latvia.
Legenda members are all well versed in the dangers of live ordinance and know the correct procedures to employ when handling them and all live ordinance found is collected and disposed of by army engineers.
Legenda members follow all the correct legal procecces and recovery procedures regarding the exhumation of any human remains discovered.
Legenda do not and never will prescribe to battlefield looting and so called black digging were soldiers remains are desecrated and items found on them stolen and sold illegally.
Legenda adhere to Latvian government laws and regional laws when searching and obtain all relevant permissions and permits from the authorities before begining any recovery work.
We also work in close cooperation with the Latvian,Russian and German war graves commissions.
Searching any battlefield without legal permission and permits or without the relevant experience that Legenda has is extremely dangerous and highly illegal and we strongly advise anyone who foolishly attempts this practice or is thinking of coming to Latvia to illegally dig to think twice about it as you could get in to serious trouble with the authorities and worse still you may seriously injure yourself as the battlefields are still littered with dangerous unexploded ordinance which is extremely volatile when misshandled also if you get caught illegally digging in Latvia you could face 4 years in prison.

Is Now the Time to Refinance Your Mortgage?
Mark and Jan Sass, 55-year-olds who live in Cincinnati, Ohio, refinanced their home last week to lock in lower rates, Reuters reported. They switched from a 20-year fixed-rate loan of 4.875%, with 12 years remaining, to 10-year mortgage with a 3.5% rate.
"The opportunity to look 10 years out and know that – unless things change – we won't have a mortgage when we retire looked like a smart decision," Sass told the news agency.
A Refi surge
They aren't alone. U.S. banks have seen a recent surge in loan applications that's almost entirely due to refinancing, Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com, told DailyFinance.
"Over the past month, refinance application volume has increased by 63%," Mike Fratantoni, MBA's vice president of research and economics, said in a statement. "Refinance applications for jumbo loans increased by almost 75% relative to last week. Despite these low mortgage rates, applications for home purchase have remained little changed through the summer."
According to a Bankrate.com survey released Thursday, the average 15-year fixed rate for a mortgage reset is 3.61%, while 30-year fixed-rate mortgages average out at slightly less than 4.5%. The jumbo 30-year fixed rate set a new record of 5.02%, the Bankrate.com survey found.
Should You Refi?
For example, homeowners in their early 50s who have lived in their homes for a number of years and have positive cash flow have little reason to stretch out a longer-term loan, says McBride. Refinancing into a shorter-term now could put them on track to pay off their house by retirement time.
Alternatively, homeowners who are in their 30s and starting a family might be looking at refinancing into another 30-year loan as a way to create more breathing room in the monthly family budget and to enable them to sock more money away into retirement or college savings. Mortgage calculators can help homeowners determine where refinancing is a good option.
For a back-of-the-envelope calculation: Divide how much will it cost you by how much you will save. That will tell you break-even point. If it will save you the amount of your mortgage payments for the two- to three-year range, says McBride, then it's generally worthwhile to consider refinancing.

To qualify for this warranty:
- You must be the original purchaser of the tires.
- You must have purchased the tires from Costco Wholesale.
- You must present the original purchase receipt and tire to a Costco Wholesale tire centre.
Conditions of this warranty:
- The purchaser must rotate and balance their tires as outlined by the vehicle manufacturer.
- The purchaser must operate their tires at inflation pressures outlined by the vehicle manufacturer.
- The purchaser must keep all mechanical parts that affect tires in proper working condition.
- The purchaser will be required to sign a "Costco Wholesale tire adjustment form".
What is covered:
- "Road hazard failure" is defined as a tire that becomes unserviceable due to cuts, non-repairable punctures or impact damage. Costco Wholesale will repair tires with tread-face injuries in accordance with established RMA (Rubber Manufacturers Association) standards.
- This warranty covers road hazard failures in passenger, performance and light truck tires purchased from Costco Wholesale.
- This warranty is valid for sixty (60) months from the date of purchase or when the tire reaches 1.6 mm (2/32 of an inch) or less in remaining tread depth regardless of age. When a tire has 1.6 mm (2/32 of an inch) or less in tread depth, it is considered worn out.
- This warranty provides credit based upon remaining usable tread at the time of failure due to road hazard.
- "Usable tread" is defined as the original tread depth of a tire less 1.6 mm (2/32 of an inch) (tread wear indicators).
- Credit is determined by multiplying the useable remaining tread by the current price of the tire.
- This warranty is a promise under certain conditions to give credit on a pro-rated basis towards the purchase of a new tire. This warranty does not imply that tires sold by Costco Wholesale meet certain specifications or cannot fail. This warranty does not replace or modify any original tire manufacturer's warranty on material and workmanship.
What is not covered:

- Tires transferred from the vehicle on which they were originally installed.
- Loss of time, inconvenience, loss of use of vehicle or consequential damage. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply.
Tire care recommendations:
- Have the air pressure in your tires checked, by a tire professional as least once a month. Serious injury may result from tire failure due to under inflation.
- Always request that the air pressure in your tires be set to the tire or vehicle manufacturers' specifications.
- Do not overload your vehicle. Serious injury may result from overloading your vehicle.
- Register your tires using the DOT (Department of Transportation) card provided at the time of installation.
- Read and follow all tire maintenance requirements outlined in the tire manufacturers' warranty booklet provided at the time of installation.
- Always insist on an RMA (Rubber Manufacturers Association) approved two-piece tire repair if required.
- Fix-a-flat products should be avoided if possible. These products can make a tire non-repairable.
- If you are purchasing less than four tires, mount the new tires on the rear of the vehicle.
- It is recommended to have your lug nuts re-tightened 40 km after your tires are serviced or replaced.
- Request that your tire and rim assemblies are hand torqued with a calibrated torque wrench to the vehicle manufacturer's specifications.

The Catholic Business Network of Baltimore
Baltimore, Md. – The Catholic Business Network of Baltimore has announced that Michael MacDonald, Chairman and CEO of Medifast, will be the inaugural recipient of the Catholic Business Leadership Award. The award will be presented to Mr. MacDonald at the Catholic Business Network's Annual Dinner on May 6 at Martin's Valley Mansion in Cockeysville.
MacDonald, a graduate of Philadelphia's Monsignor Bonner High School and the Rutgers University joined Medifast's board of directors in 1998. He succeeded his late brother, Bradley MacDonald, as Chairman and CEO in 2012.
"One of the real reasons for my success and career was Catholic education from grade school through high school," said MacDonald. "Being an executive and leader and giving back are the most important ways of supporting Catholic education."
This is the first year of the award, which is sponsored by the Catholic Business Network of Baltimore (CBNB). "We are blessed to have so many leaders and individuals in Baltimore who generously share their time and talents in the service of their faith. It is an honor to recognize Michael MacDonald and the support network he has in place that allows him to be so dedicated to the Archdiocese," said Greg Pierce, CBNB's president.
In addition to serving on various boards, MacDonald currently serves on the board of the Catholic Community Foundation, and is chair of the upcoming Archdiocesan Gala for Catholic Education, which will celebrate the 225th anniversary of the Archdiocese of Baltimore.

Before I start, I want to say that this article is based on an e-book that I read a while ago called something like 5 bucks a day. It was a really inspiring book and I highly recommend you get yourself a copy pronto!
What is 5 bucks a day? Well, have you ever heard of breaking down your big goals into more manageable smaller goals? That's the whole idea here. Let say your big goal is to earn 100$/day or even 1000$/day or more... well take that big number you have in mind and break it down into smaller 5$/day projects. Doesn't it seem so much more possible to create something online that will generate 5$/day for you? It sure does to me... And it should to you too!
In this article, I'll discuss a couple of types of projects you could start that may end up earning you 5$/day:
1. Adsense niche sites -> adsense niche sites are a great first 5$/day project. I've found a great article that talks about this in more detail here: 4923 Words on How to Make Money with Adsense. If you follow what is suggested in that article, you could stick to creating adsense niche sites, one after the next, over and over again until you reach your ultimate big goal. I personally would recommend that you diversify your little income streams though to make sure nothing disastrous ever happens that will wipe out your whole income.
2. Writing articles for revenue sharing websites -> reaching 5$/day on a revenue sharing website like Infobarrel is definitely possible(check out my signature for information on how to sign up). In order to diversify your efforts, grow your income to five bucks per day on one website like Infobarrel for example to start and then when that income stream is consistent, move on to the next platform like squidoo for example.
3. Selling stock photography on istockphoto.com->a lot of people are creating significant passive income streams simply by taking photographs and selling them on istockphoto.com. It's a great opportunity for any entrepreneur to make a little extra money or a whole lot of money. I wrote a whole article about stock photography but in summary, I read in a book about one college student who didn't make any excuses and just took action on this and created a 6 figure income for himself through stock photography. He simply took pictures of things around his neighborhood in between classes and sold them online and made a small fortune! The book that briefly mentioned this story is Six Figure Second Income which is a great book to read. That book mostly talks about creating information products for profit. In other words, creating reports, ebooks, video series, audio series, etc... and selling them online. That leads me to strategy number 4:
4. Fast information product creation->When done right, you can create a short and high-quality information product in one weekend and set up a website that sells it and promote the heck out of it all within a week and start seeing some income with this. Automate the process and you get another easy 5$/day revenue stream. All you have to do next is rinse and repeat.
Thanks for reading!
In every one of my articles including this one, I welcome and encourage comments. Cheers!

Malaysia's fiscal health should improve if structural-reform measures, especially those highlighted in Budget 2014, are executed well.
As it stands, though, concerns over the risk of the country slipping into twin deficits – current account and fiscal – have proved to be unfounded.
While it is undeniable that Malaysia will need several more years to eliminate its fiscal deficit, its current account is expected to remain in surplus – at least for the next two to three years – albeit at a narrowing pace.
Containing the risk of twin deficits is important for emerging economies like Malaysia. This will help reduce financial stress and minimise the risk of sudden capital outflow that could lead to sharp movements of the ringgit. This is especially now that the US Federal Reserve will begin to taper down its US$85bil-a-month bond-buying programme, or quantitative easing (QE), in January.
As CIMB Investment Bank Bhd chief economist Lee Heng Guie explains in his recent report, "the avoidance of a current account deficit should lessen the pressure on ringgit and sovereign-bond yields".
According to Lee, Malaysia's current account will likely narrow from an estimated RM40.8bil, or 4.2% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP), this year to 3.3% of GDP next year and 2.5% of GDP in 2015.
The narrowing of the country's current account surplus will likely be driven by stronger import growth to support domestic demand, especially the upturn in the investment cycle, amid a moderate recovery in exports, Lee argues.
Meanwhile, the consensus view is that the Government should be on track to reducing its fiscal deficit to 3.5% of GDP in 2014 from the estimated 4% of GDP this year. And by 2015, the country's fiscal deficit is expected to improve to 3% of GDP.
Malaysia has been running on fiscal deficits for the last 15 years as the Government has been consistently spending more than what it earns. The country is expected to achieve a balanced budget only in 2020.
Nevertheless, economists believe the Government has, thus far, demonstrated strong commitment to fiscal consolidation and resolve to reform the country's economy as evidenced by the number of unpalatable (but necessary) measures that have already been, or will soon be, implemented. These include the recent abolishment of sugar subsidies, hike in fuel prices and revision of electricity tariffs, which all fall under the subsidy rationalisation programme; and the introduction of goods and services tax (GST) by April 2015 to widen the country's narrow tax base.
Suffice to say, reform measures promised under Budget 2014 are gradually coming to pass with the ultimate aim of strengthening the country's economic resilience.
Still, there is an area of major concern – the mounting debt burden faced by all sectors from the Government to the corporate and household levels.
Debt accumulated by the Government is expected to remain stubbornly high, albeit below its self-imposed ceiling of 55% of GDP.
During the budget announcement last October, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak did not specify how the government debt level would change next year, but gave assurance that the level would not exceed the self-imposed limit.
At present, the country's public debt to GDP ratio is estimated at 54.8% in 2013, compared with 53.3% in 2012, and merely 40% in 2008. The increase in government debt is driven by higher domestic borrowings to meet its financing requirements.
Meanwhile, various media reports indicate that Malaysia's corporate debt-to-GDP ratio has now risen to nearly 96%, compared with 80% in 2007, while household debt-to-GDP ratio has risen to 83% from around 60% in 2008 and 76% in 2011.
Malaysia has one of the highest household debt-to-GDP ratios in Asia. This, according to economists, represents a potential vulnerability to the banking system and it could have a negative impact on the overall economic conditions of the country.
While the Government has already implemented various measures to address the high household indebtedness, it remains to be seen how effective the measures are in containing the continued rise of household debt in the country.

Hi sweet soul,
When I was born, my mom and dad had no electricity, no running water and no indoor plumbing. They didn't even have a house! They had a super small 1960's vintage trailer, borrowed from a friend, and plopped on 5 acres of land in Southwest New Mexico that they had recently purchased.
After I was born, they put up a teepee where me, my mom and dad, and my sister and brother would live until they finished building the first room of the house they built on our land.
Allow me to set the scene of my birth:
Mom was laying on a foam pad on the floor of the tiny trailer, naked and sweaty from the July evening. I don't know for a fact that there was patchouli oil diffusing, sandalwood incense burning and Joni Mitchell playing in the background on a battery powered boombox, but my gut says, it's a hard yes.
I do know there were candles placed all around the trailer for light because giving birth in the dark isn't ideal. My sisters, my brother, my dad and my godfather circled around mom, while her midwife did whatever magical work midwives do. My oldest sister had the job of being a stirrup for my mom to push her feet and legs against when the contractions came. My dad fanned my mom's face, to cool her down from the summer heat and from the human that was about to exit from her VAGINA after 40 hours of labor (thanks mom!). My other sister and brother were on standby to do whatever mom needed them to do during this raw and intense process. And finally, my godfather, Rick had the very important job of holding a flashlight for the midwife, directly on my mom's cooch so the midwife could see all the goings-on.
After a damn long time, I squirted my way out, I opened my eyes, I looked around, and I smiled. Then I went straight for the boob and I didn't make a fuss or cry for the first week of my life.
Let's back up this turnip truck because this story really isn't about me. This story is about my godfather, Rick, who so dutifully held a flashlight where no flashlight should ever go, especially under the circumstance in which said flashlight was held.
Rick and my dad had been best friends since fifth grade. They grew up a couple of blocks from each other in Racine, Wisconsin, and they were inseparable upon first meeting. These two souls just clicked like they had known each other for many lifetimes. My parents were super hippies and they did wild things, like hitchhike across the country, live in a national park in Colorado for an entire spring, and build their home by hand as well as making and gathering all the material that they used to build their home with. And Rick did all these crazy things with them (in a totally platonic kind of way) . He never married and never had kids so, we were his family. He is my second dad. I love this guy to bits.
He did all the things second dads do. He poured beer down my throat when I was little just to see my reaction. He had me dig random holes outside when I was bored. He tried to get me to eat turkey every year at Thanksgiving in exchange for $5 (I never accepted). He gave me candy (because my house was in a constant sugar draught). He taught me about unwavering loyalty by being a Chicago Bears fan. He bought my little painted rocks that I used to paint and sell. He swung me upside down. He made me laugh hysterically. He was a fantastic audience for my Molly shows that I never quite outgrew. The love I have for him is similar to the love I have for my own dad. It's deep. It's old. And it's fucking painful when something goes wrong.
Last year, Rick was diagnosed with a rare degenerative brain disease called Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Syndrome, for which there is no cure. He had to sell his handmade house in New Mexico (just down the well worn path from where he held that flashlight almost 40 years ago) and move back to Wisconsin where he now lives in a veterans home where he can be cared for.
I hadn't seen him since he moved back to Wisconsin, so Luanne and I made our way to the Midwest a couple weeks ago so I could give him a big hug and have a visit. It was so good to see him. It was also hard because although he is on medication to slow down his symptoms, his disease is still there, taking its course and slowly taking him along with it. His speech is slurred, he is unsteady on his feet, his vision goes double at times, he has a hard time swallowing and he moves slow. But his mind is sharp and he is still Rick, one of my favorite people in the world.
Travel is important for so many reasons, but visiting people you love who you don't see often is one of the best reasons I can think of to get your ass on a plane and go. And when you go, you have to eat. To help you figure out how to eat plant based on your next trip, I kept a picture food journal to share with you so you can see how I maneuver staying plant based when I travel.
Enjoy our trip!
Ready to head to LA to catch our next flight to Chicago.
My trusty Trader Joe's almond butter jar makes a comeback! This time I loaded my travel friend up with Apple Pie Steel Cut Oats. I put them in the container cold and added just a but of soy milk and stir. If you add too much milk it will be a problem at security.
I call this Plant Powered Plane Bowl and I make it every time I fly. I basically toss together whatever I have in the fridge and put it in a container. This one had brown rice, steamed broccoli, baked tempeh, whole roasted garlic cloves, hummus and a dressing I was testing for an upcoming meal plan. It more than hit the spot and I was so happy to have it midair.
The inner workings of my Plane Bowl. Yum, yum. Eat like you give a flying fuck!
I love to pack crunchy romaine hearts. I have to eat them relatively soon after we board or they start to go soft. I realize it's not a potato chip but the crunch is satisfying in that chip sort of way, sans the salt. This time I packed my romaine in a reused carrot bag.
The best sandwich keeper ever! I'm a fan of anything I can reuse.
I made Luanne and I nice juicy tempeh sandwiches. She's eating hers (left) while I nom on my oats (right).
Here's the guy who we journeyed 15 hours to see! So good to see my godfather, Rick.
This is me and Rick when I was just a tiny thing. I'm hugging his cat, Tidy. Now that I look at it closer, Tidy and Sweet Pea are twins!
An easy go-to breakfast when I travel is granola and fruit. I go to whatever grocery store is close by after I get settled in my room and I buy a few staples. Cereal with the least amount of sugar, unsweetened, non-dairy milk and fruit are some of the things I buy. Travel almond butter is also a must, though I always pack it so I don't have to buy it when I get to where I'm going.
Here are a few other things I picked up at the store.
I also bought apples and blueberries. Fruit is the easiest travel food out there.
We were greeted with so much cold and snow. So cold. So much snow. This island chick was traumatized.
More snow. More cold.
Eagle Lake, outside of Union Grove, WI. My dad spent summers here when he was a kid.
So Wisconsin loves their cheese. And their milk. And their fish. And their meat. It's not a plant based utopia by any stretch of the imagination. Bigger cities, like Madison and Milwaukee, have more options, but in the small little rural towns, options are super limited. So I did what I always do in cases like this, I did the best I could and that was more than good enough. We went out to eat quite a bit while we were there because we had family to see and visits to be had.
Instead of ordering main dishes without the meat, dairy and eggs, I stuck to the side menus. This was a side of sweet potato fries, some steamed carrots, sautéed veggies and brown rice. I don't worry about the oil when I travel. If I can get some form of plants, I'm happy! The trick to traveling to small towns when eating plant based is to lower your expectations and chill the fuck out. You can get back to your healthy Dirty ways when you get back home!
After our time in Wisconsin came to a close we drove to Chicago to spend a couple days before flying back home. If you're ever on highway 94 in Illinois and pass the Lake Forrest Oasis Travel Plaza, make a pit stop. You will find a vegan plate at this Middle Eastern food booth. I was happily shocked!
Vegan plate with hummus, baba ghanoush, falafal, tahini cucumber salad, dolmas and pita. Not the best I've ever had but it totally did the trick and I was stoked to find it.
Get a load of THIS amazingness! Meal plan and recipe wizard, Tamie Spears (left) has been working for CFDG for over a year and we've never actually met in person. That all changed when we were in Chicago because she drove from Michigan to hang out with us! We had a blast together and hung out all day.
We stopped by plant based restaurant, Native Foods in Wicker Park, for lunch and had lots of food. We were too busy chatting to take pictures of all our food but here were a couple things we ate. These are Cauliflower Wings.
We ordered the brussels sprouts thinking they would be sauteed but they came out fried. They were good but they would have been better not fried. I wasn't about to complain though because they were vegan and we were having too much fun visiting.
After our lunch we went to Tamie's car where some Dirty desserts were waiting for us to test. Yup, the wizard brought us WFPB desserts that she's working on for meal plans and the blog. We sat in her car and tested three different types of cookies and chocolate cake, looking all seedy as we huddled around, testing each one. As people passed by the car I'm sure they thought we were doing drugs. Ha! It's only Dirty dessert, keep movin'!
THIS is coming to a Fuckery near you. And it is fucking amazing.
We hit up Kizuki Ramen for dinner and they had vegan ramen with kale noodles. Totally yum.
Handlebar in Wicker Park is worth the visit if you're in the area and need to eat. It's a bar that has yummy vegan food. We had Inferno Mac and Cheese and Sambal Tofu. Two solid choices apart from being a bit salty.
Sambal Tofu
Inferno Mac and Cheese
The next morning Luanne had leftover Sambal Tofu and I had cake. Yup, I ate cake for breakfast and I loved every chocolate second of it.
Taking the blue line to explore the city.
If you ever spot a Beatrix Market, go there and your plant based needs will be happily fulfilled! This one was downtown.
This market is buffet style, with lots of healthy vegan options. Note I said "healthy" vegan options. This is a place you can fuel up on simple, unadulterated plants and have a yummy time doing so.
I had veggie soup and a big bowl of plants. Lentils, quinoa, sweet potatoes, tofu, veggies and greens. This was the most satisfying meal of the whole trip, probably because this is how I eat when I'm home.
Our last night in Chicago we went out for Thai food. I ordered Pad Thai without egg or fish sauce. I forgot to request as little oil as possible but I happily ate it anyway.
The flight back home is always a little more tricky because I usually don't have access to a full-on kitchen and I can't stock up on ingredients to cook with. So I always go out to dinner the night before I fly home and order extra food to pack for the plane. That, along with fruit, carrots, hummus and nuts usually get the job done.
This time I accidentally left my to-go food at the restaurant. #waterwater. Lucky thing O'Hare airport has a Mexican restaurant called Tortes that had a super yummy bean and mushroom bowl that is vegan if you request no cheese. Our flight from Chicago to Honolulu was 9 hours long. Looking back, I should have ordered two of these bowls!
I did manage to pack a carrot, some nuts and some fruit so I was okay for the long journey home. Here we are ready to go back home to the warm breeze and palm trees.
As a side note, read this book. It is a beautiful read.
The beautiful sight of Hawaii. Home sweet home!
Just like giving birth without electricity or indoor plumbing, traveling while plant based is doable. Take it from me, I'm proof on both accounts! You just have to commit, get creative, and do the damn thing.
May you have a happy journey, wherever this amazing life takes you next.

Oprah's best friend Gayle King says not to feel too bad for the talk show host, who will step down from her daytime series in 2011.
"After 25 years, it's just time to go while you're on top, and maybe have a semblance of a life," King told "Good Morning America's" Robin Roberts Monday morning.
"Listen, no pity party for Oprah, because she has a great life and does wonderful things," King went on. "But at the end of the day, it really is her life and it's time. This weekend, for instance, she went to California with a big bag of books and was so happy to know that was what she's going to do."
See how Oprah's shape has changed over the years
But Oprah isn't sure of her next move, King says.
"She's riding off from 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' as we know it, but she's not riding off into the sunset," said King. Oprah is starting her own network, OWN. "I know there's going to be a next chapter."
King doesn't think Oprah's shoes "can be filled, but I know I'm biased."
She also dashed rumors that she'd be replacing her best friend on the air.
"I have never heard that conversation from Oprah. Do I want to do something with the OWN Network? Absolutely, positively. [But] Oprah hasn't asked me to replace her, and she's got my number!"
King says she's already in "Oprah withdrawal" even though her pal has one more season on the air.
"We're planning stuff that will blow you away... a very nice farewell," she said.
But the end of the show is bittersweet.
"I'm happy for her, and really sad for me," King said. "I'm happy because I know for her it is the right decision. She is so at peace with it. She's very much alive and happy."

The terror group made the move in Mosul, their last Iraqi stronghold, as coalition airstrikes took their toll.
Jihadi bases in the city have been levelled and a wave of assassinations have rocked the ISIS hierarchy, local sources said.
Now the bloodthirsty cult has withdrawn all its patrols from the streets of Mosul, where it's terrorised the local population since June 2014.
Some 500,000 of the city's people managed to flee before ISIS arrived, but roughly two million people were left to endure occupation.
Phone and internet access was cut, and locals were banned from leaving, fearing the families they left behind would be killed.
It's possible that all of Mosul's 70,000 Christians have been killed or exiled, while those that remain pay extra taxes.
Local Yazidi women have been sold as sex slaves, and others have been made to cover their bodies from head to toe.
But that could all be about to change, with ISIS suffering heavy losses in the Qayyarah, Sharqat and Bashiqa neighbourhoods.
A source told Iraqi News: "The international coalition airstrikes destroyed gatherings points and headquarters of ISIS in the forest areas in Mosul.
"ISIS have panicked after the waves of assassinations and have begun to cut off the main roads to the residential neighborhoods, after declaring a state of emergency."

The pilot phase of the Qatar Genome Programme, which debuted in September 2015, was the first stage during which all national stakeholders started coordinating efforts and embarked on a well-planned national strategy to implement Precision Medicine in Qatar.
Currently, the QGP, in its phase one, differentiates itself from other disease-based research projects in the region in being a population-based initiative using DNA samples collected by Qatar Biobank from deeply-phenotyped apparently-healthy individuals.
One of the main ongoing goals of phase one is to establish the Qatari Reference Genome Map by sequencing a representative number of whole genomes. Establishing this reference map will help identify specific gene variants distinctive of the local population, especially those related to various inherited genetic diseases. Such a map will also help policymakers to start incorporating genomic data into the health care system to better diagnose, treat and even prevent many diseases.
In this context, QGP is working closely with a Publication Steering Working Group and a QGP Consortium to coordinate research collaborations with local researchers working on analyzing the data coming from the thousands of genomes that are sequenced. Now, many are in the process to publish their results in high impact journals. QGP is also working on promoting genomic research in Qatar in a partnership with the main local research funding agency, the Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF), to support experts and researchers working in the field. This has led to the success of the first two and launching the 3rd cycle of a research funding program, the Path towards Precision Medicine (PPM).
One of the achievements of this phase was to collaborate with the Ministry of Public Health where we drafted a policy and guidelines for the design, ethical review, and conduct of genomic research in Qatar with the ministry's research department.
In the human capacity area, QGP initiated two new graduate programmes in Genomic Medicine and Genetic Counseling in collaboration with Hamad Bin Khalifa University and Qatar University, respectively, as well as, embarked on organizing a series of related internship programmes, workshops, and conferences.
QGP also conducted surveys to gauge the public as well as professional healthcare providers awareness and attitudes regarding genomic medicine to explore the gaps to be filled by our programme. These surveys showed promising results in the vision to implement precision medicine practices in Qatar and are in the process of publication.
In its current and coming phases, QGP future goals aim to steer the wheel of the collaborative efforts of stakeholders and research teams outcomes from bench research to clinical implementation, thus; leading to the integration of Precision Medicine into the healthcare systems in Qatar.

I have been forced to take action over a problem that has been fermenting for some time and must inform National-Anarchist supporters that NATA-NY is no longer part of the National-Anarchist Movement (N-AM). When Craig FitzGerald became involved with us several years ago, he wanted to (a) get rid of the hyphen in 'National-Anarchism', and (b) take a non-racial approach. This was not in line with N-AM principles, of course, but in the spirit of unity and having respect for the work being done in New York, I tolerated it. In fact I ended up defending NATA when Josh Bates tried to cause problems and divide us back in 2015. I am perfectly happy, therefore, for people to adhere to the N-AM if they do not share our beliefs about Race, but what I will not tolerate is people trying to change the N-AM itself or distort our views. As some of you already know, Craig was recently involved in a discussion about the so-called 'Alt-Right' on his timeline and insinuated that "scary anarchists" were part of it. At one point, somebody called Jack Neison wrote to say "there are no anarchists who are part of the alt-right." Craig replied by saying "wrong, ATS, & NAM etc are both associated with Alt right." Steven Saragian later appeared on Craig's thread and said "I have seen Troy Southgate and others distancing the NAM from the alt right." Saragian is correct. Despite our mutual opposition to Leftism and political correctness, the N-AM has nothing whatsoever to do with the 'Alt-Right'. Indeed, when the N-AM Manifesto was written the 'Alt-Right' did not even exist and we have always made it perfectly clear that we stand beyond Left and Right altogether. Not simply the Left and Right of the Centre, but the Extreme Left and Extreme Right. Over the last few months, NATA members have become increasingly more involved with the Right, but instead of bringing people from that side over to our way of thinking, through entryism, NATA itself is being subsumed into the Right and gradually moving away from National-Anarchism. Let's be perfectly honest: if you support Trump or any other statist - regardless if the other politicians seem worse or you are sick to death of the drones on the Left, as we all are - then you cannot possibly be N-AM. This is basic common sense. We are neither Right nor Left and will not be pigeon-holed to suit the Kosher-Nationalist agenda. Commenting on the N-AM group's 'burkini-on-the-beach' thread in early-September, meanwhile, Craig said to me that "our anti Zionist efforts over the years have done more for Islam than any crying about this lady will ever do." I was disappointed by this statement. Not simply because I care very little about the woman herself, but due to the fact that I was clearly defending the wider principles of identity and personal liberty. My reasons for opposing the actions of the police, therefore, are quite different to those people on the Left and I am surprised that wasn't obvious from my accompanying comments. Meanwhile, what Craig said about anti-Zionism sounds like something your average Zionist would say. I have never actively worked for the Islamic religion in my life, in fact whilst I oppose ISIS with a vengeance many of the victims of Zionism happen to be non-Muslim and it would be completely ridiculous to ignore it on account of being unable to contain one's anger at economic migrants who, themselves, are mere consequences of capitalism. Craig also referred to a "Muslim take over". That simply isn't happening and the banks, corporations and mass media are controlled by Organised Jewry, not Muslims. In conclusion, the N-AM and NATA have now gone their own separate ways. We have a clearly-defined Manifesto and that is what attracts people to the Movement in the first place. It's the first port of call. Once people cease to honour the Manifesto or try to include us within someone else's analysis of what constitutes a political umbrella group, then the situation obviously becomes untenable. I bear no ill-will towards Craig, Gabriel or anyone else from NATA and write this with a heavy heart. Unfortunately, however, all the time they are unable to see that every politician is working for the Zionist system and willingly accept the terminological parameters set by others then it seems there is very little basis for a working relationship and their actions are undermining what we are attempting to achieve. As I said, working alongside the N-AM is one thing, but telling people we are 'Alt-Right' or actively promoting the likes of Trump and Putin sends out a completely wrong message and is unacceptable for those of us who reject the Right as much as the Left. ~ Troy Southgate

As I sit here writing this on the Glorious 12th, I realise I'm going on about my favourite grouse – agents who are too lazy to do anything other than tout for my properties.
It drives me nuts. It suggests agents are bankrupt of ideas and rely on rivals to identify houses that are for sale, generate interest, and even write particulars they can plagiarise.
A good example recently is a house on the fringe of my patch where an agent with whom I'm familiar for hardly the best life experience wrote to my vendor saying they had a buyer and also suggesting there was the possibility of a trade-in against her property.
My vendor was mystified as to why some agent who was too lazy to find business would feel she would be impressed by him. She wanted someone pro-active with good marketing skills for her house, which is pretty unusual because of its particular history relevant to the world of conservation.
There was no warning of jeopardy over dual commission in the touting letter so she reported the agent to the Property Ombudsman. I await the outcome with interest.
Sadly, some vendors can still be impressed by touts and can't see through the lazy approach.
They actually believe the 'we have buyers for your house' message, the type of stuff that used to come from the touting agents who found your car on Autotrader, asked for an upfront fee, and then evaporated with never any sign of a buyer coming round to kick the tyres.
If there really are buyers out there, they'll be searching Rightmove and Zoopla and will surely turn up the properties you list. They don't mysteriously hang around one agent's office or website waiting for their dream home to turn up!
Luckily, with a lot of the postcode areas I cover I can demonstrate that not only the majority of houses in defined price brackets are with me but also I can claim a good percentage of the ones that have sold.
If agents want to be successful, and recognised as such, it's their ability to sell that will bring them business not some shoddy touting letter that's devoid of essential detail and smacks of desperation.
With the autumn market opening up, I would encourage all agents to get off their backsides, get out there, and find properties to sell that are not already listed with somebody else.
At least I won't be taking pot shots at them!

The 25-year-old made the move amid rumours of unrest at the Twickenham Stoop while a missed training session costing the wing a place in the European Champions Cup squad for a game at Wasps.
However, Yarde claims he has no issues with director of rugby John Kingston and says he is happy to have made the switch to Sale on a three-year deal.
"I thought there was a chance to have a new challenge, a clean slate and a fresh start," Yarde told BBC Radio Manchester.
"I've got no bad blood towards Harlequins. John Kingston and I never left on any wrongful terms, it was just a decision that had to be made at the time."

One in four iPad buyers are new to Apple's hardware, according to fresh research, with adoption of the iOS tablet growing faster than any other product in the company's history. Although historically the iPod has been the gateway to Apple ownership, in the past two years the PMP's role as gateway drug has been usurped by the iPhone and, increasingly, the iPad, NPD Group's surveying discovered.
"iPad sales are growing much faster than any other Apple product has this soon after launch," Ben Arnold, director of industry analysis at NPD said of the study, which surveyed over 3,000 consumers in February this year. "In fact, one-in-five Apple owner households has one— nearly equivalent to the number that own an Apple computer. This demonstrates the appeal of both the new form factor and Apple's app ecosystem."
Now, 57-percent of new Apple device owners entered by way of the iPod in the past two years, down from over 70-percent previously. The iPhone and iPad together account for one-third of first-time Apple buys since 2010, with the average "Apple household" owning 2.4 of the company's devices. Of the more than 3,000 people NPD Group surveyed, almost 1,000 owned at least one Apple gadget.
Apple announced 11.8m iPad sales in its Q2 2012 financial period earlier this week, along with 35m iPhone sales. That figure is notable as it only includes around two weeks of new iPad availability, with demand for the third-gen tablet believed to be even stronger than earlier models.

Targeted Drug Delivery
Mouse Studies Xenografts
Mice bearing tumors derived from a lung cancer cell line (A549) were treated with 1 x 109 EDVs™ per dose (black arrowheads indicate days on which mice were treated, as indicated on the x- axis). EDVs were either targeted to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) on the cancer cells (EGFREDV) or untargeted (EDV™) and loaded with the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (EGFREDVDox; EDVDox) or paclitaxel (EGFREDVPac; EDVPac). Error bars indicate ± s.e.m, with 5 mice per treatment group.
Dog Studies – Endogenous Tumors
Stage 4 cancer in the brain of a dog (left image; white mass shown by yellow arrow). After 5 intravenous doses of EGFR-targeted, doxorubicin-packaged EDVs (one dose per week), the tumor completely disappeared (right image).
EnGeneIC has evaluated the safety and efficacy of EGFR targeted, doxorubicin loaded EDVTM nanocells (designated EGFREDVsDox) to deliver doxorubicin to spontaneous brain tumors in 17 companion dogs; a comparative oncology model of human brain cancers.
EGFREDVsDox were administered weekly via intravenous injection to 17 dogs with late-stage brain cancers. Biodistribution was assessed using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Anti-tumor response was determined using MRI, and blood samples were subject to toxicology (hematology, biochemistry) and inflammatory marker analysis. Targeted, doxorubicin-loaded minicells rapidly localized to the core of brain tumors. Complete resolution or marked tumor regression (>90% reduction in tumor volume) were observed in 23.53% of the cohort, with lasting anti-tumor responses characterized by remission in three dogs for more than two years. No adverse clinical, hematological or biochemical effects were observed with repeated administration of EGFREDVsDox (30 to 98 doses administered in 10 of the 17 dogs).
These findings demonstrate the strong potential for clinical applications of targeted, doxorubicin-loaded EDVs™ for the effective treatment of patients with brain cancer.
The manuscript is currently under peer review with a scientific journal.
Safety Studies in Primates
Rhesus macaque monkeys were selected for non-clinical safety evaluation of EDVs™. In general, non-human primates are considered relevant models for preclinical research as they share a high degree of genetic homology with humans, underlying physiological and biochemical similarities between the species.
Three rhesus monkey trials were performed to assess toxicity of empty EDVs™ (up to 2 x 1010 per dose), EGFR-targeted doxorubicin-loaded EDVs™ (up to 2 x 1010 per dose), and EGFR-targeted paclitaxel-loaded EDVs™ (up to 1 x 1011 per dose). Monkeys were treated with EDVs™ once weekly for 5 weeks (35 day repeat dose testing). There were transient spikes in temperature (increases of up to 1°C) with concomitant but self limiting elevation of IL-6 post-dose. The inflammatory marker C-reactive protein was also increased at these times, however no significant toxicities or adverse events were observed. A mild elevation of TNF-α was seen over the course of treatment with EGFR-targeted, doxorubicin-loaded EDVs™ only.
With regards to the bacterial component of EDVs™, it has been shown that rhesus monkeys mount an anti-LPS immune response through similar mechanisms to that seen in humans. Monkeys developed anti-LPS antibodies with EDVs™ treatment, but in general this response was mild and plateaued after approximately 3 doses.

As Christians we are all seeking to grow in our understanding of Gods love and purpose for us. Studying readings from the Bible is a great place to start.
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work. (New Living Translation 2 Timothy 3:16)
During services we usually have a Sermon which has been defined as:
A part of worship in which the pastor proclaims the Word of God, based on the Word written in the Bible and applying it to the worshipping community as appropriate.
Bible in a Year
A number of members at Christ Church follow a plan of Bible readings with the aim of reading the Bible over a one year period.
For details of the current month follow this link or look at the Blog menu.
Home Groups
Christ Church organises a number of home groups that meet every two weeks, some in the evenings and some in the daytime. They give an opportunity to meet with other Christians, to learn about our faith, to pray together and to share lifes experiences with each other. If you would like to join a home group please contact Paul for details.
Alpha Course
The Alpha course is designed primarily for people who aren't churchgoers and each course is open to everyone who would like to attend
Why attend the Alpha course?
Guests do Alpha for a wide variety of reasons – some want to investigate whether God exists; others are concerned about what happens after death. Some people have particular questions that they would like to discuss; others want to understand other peoples' beliefs or would like to explore what the purpose of life is. Many guests have never been to church, others may have attended church occasionally but feel they have never really understood the basics of the Christian faith.
If you would like to attend the next Alpha course at Christ Church please contact the Rector.
Other study series
On Sunday evenings in June 2013, we met to hear 5 talks from David Parker entitled "By the gate called Beautiful" based around Acts 3:1-16. The evenings started with a time of worship followed by the talk and then a chance for group discussion.
In the Spring of 2012, we met to hear some talks by Kenny Borthwick entitled "Everything you need to know to impact the world". In John 17 we overhear Jesus' last prayer. Nothing is left un-prayed that needed to be prayed for the Church to be faithful and fruitful. Each session focused on what we need to know to impact the world and bring glory to the Father.
On five Sunday evenings in Spring 2011 we met Coffee Bar style to hear and discuss the coming of Joshua into the promised land. The challenging and thought provoking talks were from a DVD series by Rt Rev Henry Orombi Achbishop of Uganda followed by discussion groups lead by Rev Paul Norrington.
Just 10
In Autumn 2010 we had a series of 11 Sunday evening coffee bar style teaching workshops with DVD contenet from J.John. J.John is a creative Christian speaker with an appeal that transcends gender, age, race, culture and occupation. His much-loved art of storytelling helps people to discover spiritual meaning in a way that makes sense of everyday life.
His just10 series is based on the Ten Commandments, designed to equip local churches to communicate the relevance of God's laws of love in a way which people can relate to today. Many who attended found this series to be an enjoyable and educational re-examination of the Ten Commandments.
Starting young
If you are thinking of having a Baptism or Thanksgiving to celebrate the birth of a child we would be happy to explain the options to you and to help you plan with us the appropriate one for you.

In: Goh, K., Bret, B.L., Potter, T. Gan, J. (Eds.), Pesticide Mitigation Strategies for Surface Water Quality. American Chemical Society Symposium Series 1075. pp. 29-37.
Interpretive Summary: Through irrigation events or stormwater runoff, pesticides have the opportunity to leave agricultural fields and impact aquatic receiving systems such as rivers, lakes or streams. Best management practices are needed to help reduce the potential harmful effects of these pollutants. A variety of management practices, from constructed wetlands to vegetated ditches to rice fields, have been studied for their mitigation efficiency. Management practices should not only be environmentally successful but should also be economically feasible for the farmer / landowner. This book chapter summarizes results of studies and offers suggestions for future management practices.
Technical Abstract: Pesticide contamination of surface waters has been a global concern for decades. In agricultural areas, pesticides enter aquatic receiving waters through irrigation and storm runoff, spray drift, or even atmospheric deposition. With increased pressure to continue producing food and fiber to sustain a growing global population, innovative mitigation strategies are necessary to address pesticide contamination of surface waters. Management practices incorporating vegetation and phytoremediation have demonstrated success in reducing pesticide loads to rivers, lakes, and streams. This chapter will focus on a variety of vegetative management practices (e.g. constructed wetlands, drainage ditches, and rice fields) which have been studied in the intensively cultivated Mississippi Delta. Summaries of research results will be presented, as well as potential future directions for additional research.

I love to experiment with different techniques and styles. Sometimes these paintings come from frustration and take unexpected form. I was trying very hard to paint a picture of Alice in Wonderland, however, I just couldn't get it right. This painting is a result of that frustration. I will keep trying and someday there will be an incredible painting of Alice...
Looks a like the moon caught in a tidal wave.
Your purchases support my education and my ability to continue to provide painting classes for homeschool students.
I have a goal to raise tuition for a business course designed for artists. I need to sell 50 paintings for $50 each to reach my goal.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Pittsburgh City Council calls for post agenda session with the administration on storm water management in light of the Washington Boulevard tragedy.
Councilman Patrick Dowd says council has requested specifics on storm water management from the administration since February of 2010.
"At this point, we have heard nothing from the administration officially as to what their position is regarding storm water management," Dowd said. "And so, I was merely asking if we have a cablecast post agenda."
Dowd sits on the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority board. He also says Allegheny River Boulevard because of its elevation at the end of Washington Boulevard, creates a dam effect and that too should be address.
Councilman Doug Shields refers to a performance review of the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority conducted in 2009 which raises questions about how the authority operates.
"One of the items in the report notes over 20 years, the executive director average term in the position is 1.5 years," he said. "The CFO has rolled over five or six times. The chief engineering – you know, when you have that kind of churning inside of an organization, private, nonprofit or whatever, it's not going to be a strong organization."
He says those issues will be addressed at the post agenda session next month.
