The Irish-born batsman top-scored in both England's group stage matches against West Indies and Ireland, and has now taken on a leading role as Collingwood's men prepare for the start of the Super Eights, against Pakistan in Barbados today.
"He's a very versatile player," Collingwood said of the Middlesex left-hander. "He's obviously got the power and can play all the shots. But he's also got a good mind on him.
"That's what you need in the middle order, number five especially. You've got to adjust to the situation, and he seems to be reading the situations really well."
Indeed, Morgan's contributions proved invaluable for England, who just squeezed through to the latter stages after heavy rain forced a no-result against the Irish on Tuesday night, just 24 hours after England suffered an unfortunate Duckworth-Lewis defeat to the Windies, despite posting a tournament-best 191-5.
England now face Pakistan in the first Super Eights clash, at the Kensington Oval this afternoon, after they progressed from Group A with Australia.
Australia ensured their qualification by overcoming a nervy start to beat Bangladesh by 27 runs, helped by Mike Hussey's unbeaten 47 and the bowling of Dirk Nannes (4-18).

"Leftover fish" just the sight of these words may be producing a nearly irresistible urge to click along to something else in you! And I admit, leftover fish usually finds its best and highest purpose at my house in the dog's dish. However, I can't think of anything more Prudent Foodie than coming up with a good tasting way to use good quality fish leftovers. We'll leave the re-use of fish sticks to those wonderful folks who recycle plastic bottles.
Last weekend our good friends Dave and Gloria came to dinner and we enjoyed a couple wonderful bottles of wine, a fabulous salad and pumpkin bisque provided by Gloria, along with Nigella's Guiness Cake, and cod en papillotte with turnips and leeks that I rustled up. I'm not providing a recipe for this, because it's really too fiddly for the Prudent Foodie most nights, but here's a link that shows you the technique should you wish to try this at home. In any event, at the end of a lovely evening we had a whole package of cod en papillotte left over, and I couldn't quite bring myself to give it to the dog. Plus, I wasn't sure if the leeks qualified as onions, and might make it toxic to her. So, I felt a moral obligation to come up with something edible to do with it.
In english and northern european cooking there is a long tradition of fish pies and puddings; dishes that we rarely get here. I recall as a child being fed a savory pudding made from leftover lutefisk the day after Christmas at the home of my relatives in Skåne. I know that you, dear reader, are smirking at the thought of a thousand Garrison Keillor jokes, but this in fact tasted just fine, probably because it was cooked with a very rich cream sauce strongly flavored with dry mustard. So, a fish pudding seemed like the way to go, and certainly, my lovely fresh cod gently poached in white wine, with carrots, leeks and fire roasted tomatoes would be a better jumping off point than leftover lutefisk. But then, possibly even fish sticks would.
Cod and Root Vegetable Gratin
4-8 oz. poached or baked cod. If you have some pan sauces, etc. reserve and use in sauce
3 good sized Yukon Gold or white potatoes, peeled and sliced thin
2-4 fresh turnips, peeled and sliced thin (you want nearly as many turnips as potatoes)
1 onion peeled and finely diced (leeks will do as well)
2 cloves garlic minced or run through a pressoptional:
1 carrot, finely diced
2 oz. chevre (soft fresh goat cheese)
1 pint heavy cream or half and half
thyme, salt and pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 375F. Oil or butter a casserole dish. Put a layer of root vegetables in the bottom of the dish, then put some of the fish in, sprinkle half the onions and garlic over it and crumble half the chevre on it. The make another layer of vegetables, fish, onions and chevre. Add the salt, pepper and thyme. Pour the cream over the whole thing and put in the over for about 20-30 minutes, until bubbling. If you like sprinkle some bread crumbs and parmesan cheese on the top, turn the oven down to 325, and let them topping brown for 5 minutes. Serve with a nice green salad (and leftover Guinness Chocolate Cake), and pat yourself on the back for being so thrifty! DeeDee

WALT to compose and create a rap (with beat if possible) about bully.
I went about achieving this by working with my group to think of ideas.
The resources I used to make my rap were my own and my groups ideas.
I collaborated with other people to get through the process.
I found the process not to hard because I could think of ideas but I didn't know how to word them.
The thing I most enjoyed about the process of creating a rap sharing ideas with my group.
My next step might be to add more lines.
This is our rap
Trying to be cool on my way to school so my classmates don't call me a fool.
I say hi but they say nice try.
You give me a smack on the back so hard that I hear it crack.
You're so mean to me I just want to be free.
You make me ache I wish I was fake.
You say my name you don't want to take the blame.
You just wanna claim to take the fame.

Stocks came back in the last few minutes of the session to end just slightly lower after a tepid government bond auction, a disappointing jobs report and concerns with the foreclosure practices at major banks.
TheDow Jones Industrial Averagefell 1.51 points, or 0.01 percent, to close at 11,094.57 after falling more than 70 earlier, aday after the market ralliedto new five-month highs.
Bank of America , JPMorgan , and Alcoa were the top laggards on the blue-chip index, while McDonald's and Kraft rose.
The S&P 500 Index fell 4.29 points, or 0.4 percent, to close at 1,173.81 and the Nasdaq fell 5.85 points, or 0.2 percent, to close at 2,435.38.
TheCBOE Volatility Index, widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, rose to above 19. The VIX had traded below 20 all week, the lowest level for the key index since April.
Of the key S&P 500 Index sectors, financials, materials and industrials fell, while telecom and technology sectors rose.
Meanwhile, Treasurys hit session lowsafter the government auctioned $13 billion of 30-year bonds, which had a yield of 3.852 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.49.
The dollar fell to a 2010 low against a basket of currencies, but analysts saw increasing chances of a dollar rebound with negative sentiment so high. Gold rallied to fresh record highs above $1,380 an ounce, before settling at $1,376.70. Other global commoditiesand commodity-related stocks continue to rise.
Financials were mostly lower across the board after a closely-watched index from RealtyTrac showed foreclosure activity in September roseon both a monthly and annual basis for the first time in four months. The data comes after attorneys general in all 50 statesagreed to join forces to investigate whether banks and other lenders have used false signatures and documents to justify foreclosures.
Concerns over foreclosures were pressuring the largest banks, as well as mortgage-servicing companies. In addition to JPMorgan and Bank of America, Citigroup and Wells Fargo slid more than 4 percent each, while mortgage servicer PHH also slumped.

RECAP: Six New Orleans players scored in double figures, three of them off the bench, as the Hornets rallied to win Friday night, Jan. 11, at New Orleans Arena. Greivis Vasquez led New Orleans with 18 points and a game-high 13 assists. Luke Ridnour led the Wolves with 20 points.
Playing shorthanded finally caught up with the Wolves, who had only nine healthy players. They could not sustain a brilliant first-quarter effort, in which they bolted to a 29-14 lead. The Hornets outscored them 90-63 in the final three quarters.
MEANING: The Wolves (16-17) slipped below .500 for the first time since falling to 8-9 with a 104-94 loss at Boston on Dec. 5.
ETC.: Minnesota played its third consecutive game without coach Rick Adelman, who remained in the Twin Cities to be with his ill wife, Mary Kay.

Just when you think the daytime soap world looks like Rehash City--with shows copying the successful elements of one another and regurgitated plots spewing from soap to soap--a ray of hope is apt to surface.
The latest example of creative innovation in soap land comes from an old hand in the renewal department, "General Hospital." ABC's No. 1-rated serial recently introduced several Asian characters as part of a story involving an Oriental organized crime ring.
With news of drug busts in the Chinese communities of such major cities as New York, Houston and Los Angeles, and with the publicity surrounding the current film "The Year of the Dragon," the new "General Hospital" plot couldn't be more timely.
Whether the show's audience will become enthralled with the intrigue remains to be seen. But in one respect--the large-scale casting of a minority group--"General Hospital" should be lauded.

Last year I bought my first pair of Chucks. Ok I take that back last year I bought my first pair of Chucks as an adult. I had a pair when I was younger, like middle school younger and I bought the high top ones. Looking back what was I thinking. Looking back in general to my fashion choices when I was thinking. Anyways before I bought my Chucks, I researched how to keep them white. So I went shopping for: Mr. Clean's magic eraser and Zout, or whatever spray stain remover you prefer.
With the stain remover, spray the white of the shoe, completely soaking it. After the shoes are soaked with the stain removed, stick the laces inside the bottle of the stain remover leaving the ends of the out slightly. Shake the bottle a bit to get the laces soaked too.
After about 5 minutes or longer depending on how dirty your Chucks are, you will throw your shoes and laces in the washing machine. Use the coldest water available and if you have a whitening detergent even better, but any laundry soap you have works.
After your shoes have been washed, DO NOT dry your shoes. Drying your shoes will heat up the glue holding the canvas and rubber parts together and you don't want this to happen. I usually deep clean my Chucks on a super sunny, hotter day. I dry my shoes and laces in direct sunlight. If there is any yellowness in your Chucks before washing, the sunlight will help remove it. After your shoes are completely dry, lace your shoes back up and enjoy your whiter Chucks.

the dawn of the 21st Century, Germany

Andreas Röhler
writes: IN MY closing speech before
being sentenced to jail by the judge Mrs
Justice Brinkmann for "inciting to hate"

mentioned two facts: The suggestion of the
prosecutor that there are two kinds of
historians, on one side the revisionists,
which are to be fought with all means
available, and on the other the "good
historians" who leave everything as it is
desired by those in power, i.e. the
politically correct, is sheer
History, like any science if it wants
to be pursued seriously and
professionally, must have its foundations
and yields questioned and revised
incessantly. There are no unmovable facts;
everything is subject to examination and
constantly widened knowledge.
This basic rule of scientific work is
supposed to be protected by law even in
Germany. However, to raise certain
political questions of history is an
undesirable opinion in the same Germany
and threatened with heavy punishment.
Knowing this, I have never distributed any
publications which have been part of penal
court trials and judgements. I have kept
any such material under my own supervision
and under lock and key; I have leased it
to persons only who could prove a
scientific interest and for their own
professional use- after obtaining a

The written declarations by the persons
concerned were presented to the court, but
the judge simply ignored them. She
rejected any proof of my solicitude out of
hand. Instead she followed the completely
fabricated assertions of the state
prosecutor, that I intended to disseminate
these few writings - altogether just 18
pieces. Not even my remark was listened
to, that the writings in question concern
only some technical aspects of killings in
a wider historical context.
Just as well it could not make any
impression, that a number of well known
Jewish researchers (as allegedly the
Jewish minority is to be protected by this
sort of court cases) assert the same ideas
which are punishable by courts in Germany.
Thus we have the odd fact that these same
courts are not ashamed in refusing to
acknowledge Jewish opinion whenever it
suits them: Noam Chomsky's
statements confirmed my legal position, so
did those of Arno J. Mayer in "Der

farce. There occurred numerous
transgressions of the penal court

against the press laws and, of course,
against the Basic Law of Germany. The
defence attorney, Carsten Schrank,
cited them in detail and made an
impressive final speech.
Naturally, before this kind of
judiciary in present day Germany, it was
all in vain.

When booking directly with the hotel, guests usually have 24 hours prior to arrival to cancel a reservation. If a hotel has been booked with an advanced purchase, cancellation policies may vary as the room has already been secured.
When cancelling a room booked with a travel site or booking engine, policies are dependent on the sites. Review the specific policies on the booking page as they may differ from the actual hotel. Some of these sites also offer a free cancellation option, allowing guests to cancel up to a specific date. Confirm this time period before booking as it can sometimes be up to a month before the check-in date.

Breaking News Emails
Officials in the Washington county where a deadly mudslide struck last month have pushed back a vote that would ultimately put a moratorium on new construction in landslide-prone areas.
The development ban ordinance in Snohomish County, initially scheduled to be heard Wednesday, is set for discussion Monday, according to reports. The county council said they wanted to give county officials more time to review the proposal, which would halt building for six months.
"Emergency ordinances are always, and should be, carefully vetted by all county agencies," Councilmember Brian Sullivan told The Seattle Times. "I think it's important to understand the implications."
The moratorium would affect building within a half-mile of landslide hazard zones.
It wouldn't stop projects that have already received the proper permits, said Council Chairman Dave Somers. But it would allow officials to assess risks and consider what new policies to enact in areas sensitive to landslides, he told The Seattle Times.
The ban comes on the heels of the March 22 hillside collapse in Oso that killed at least 41 people and demolished homes.

Dose anyone have experience testing high velocity duct systems?
I've been asked to duct test a Zhender HRV with comfoducts (2" homerun ducts).
I designed & installed a hydronic high velocity system a few years ago. It had 25' of 12" return flex duct, and 15-20' of 6+8" sheet metal ducting, 2 + 2-1/2" branch ducting. I sealed everything with mastic.
I installed the duct tester at the return, and the duct pressure at the nearest supply to the air hander, as I would on a low velocity system. I measured a high duct leakage, I was disappointed. I'm wondering if I should have taken my duct pressure at the supply trunk (6-8") rather than the 2 - 2-1/2" ducts, due to pressure drop.
Any thoughts?
Views: 459
This duct system should be tight enough that it should not matter where you test it from. I recommend you test under negative pressure to ensure you get good seals at the registers. How high was your reading and what flow range were you on?
When measuring super low flow, do a field check of your duct tester (thank you for not calling it a Blaster) by cutting a 1 inch x 3 inch hole in thick card board and tape it to the flange on your duct tester. This hole should come in at around 16 cfm at 25 Pa with the pressure measured across the cardboard. If it measures more than that, your duct testing system could be leaking or out of whack some how.
if the duct leakage is relatively low, 200 cfm or less, the pressure in the duct system will be quite uniform and either location will give consistent results. If the duct leakage is high, over 500 cfm, we recommend that you do two tests. One with the probe in the supply register closest to the Duct Blaster setup and one with it in the farthest supply register and average the readings.

It started when Kelli decided she wanted to make her friend Laurel, a customized wedding present. This was her inspiration:
Photo via Pinterest
Since Laurel's "husband to be" is into surfing, this seemed to be the perfect idea.
I started with the same
cheap inexpensive fencing that I buy from Home Depot and so so many projects with! I cut them to 33 inches and assembled...easy peasy!
Yes, I did assemble in my craft room...it was way too hot out in the garage! Next, I gave it a quick stain using Minwax, "Weathered Oak"
In case you are wondering...I did not stain in the house...even I have my limits so it was a quick application out in the garage.
Kelli and I had already picked out a surfboard image from Silhouette of America, so once it was purchased I enlarged it to the size we needed and cut it out using my Cameo. Keep in mind, this was 33 inches long, so I needed a pretty big stencil. I cut it in three pieces and then pieced it together as one. Because of the size we were working with, I chose to cut the image out of cardstock instead of vinyl...I just felt it would be easier to work with on the board.
We were putting the couple's last name on the board, so we picked a font and cut that out as well, this time using vinyl.
Now it was time to start painting. We used ASCP in "Old White" which we applied with a small foam roller...making sure not to get too much paint on the roller to seep under the paper stencil.
Next we removed the big stencil and the vinyl letters. We also added the wedding date in the lower right hand corner using Valspar "Nautical". After that was dry, I went over the entire board with another coat of the stain and finished it off with Minwax "Wipe on Poly". Added "hanging" hardware on the back and VOILA!
Obviously we were going for a very aged and weathered look, but look how easy it would be to customize the way you might want it to look...with virtually any theme or interest.
You do not need any big tools to complete a project like this. If you do not have a saw, have the wood cut at Home Depot! This was a very inexpensive project that you could do for any occasion!
I'm told they LOVED it!
Till next time!

|Summary, etc.:
The instant New York Times bestseller about one man's battle to save hundreds of jobs by demonstrating the greatness of American business. The Bassett Furniture Company was once the world's biggest wood furniture manufacturer. Run by the same powerful Virginia family for generations, it was also the center of life in Bassett, Virginia. But beginning in the 1980s, the first waves of Asian competition hit, and ultimately Bassett was forced to send its production overseas. One man fought back: John Bassett III, a shrewd and determined third-generation factory man, now chairman of Vaughan-Bassett Furniture Co, which employs more than 700 Virginians and has sales of more than $90 million. In FACTORY MAN, Beth Macy brings to life Bassett's deeply personal furniture and family story, along with a host of characters from an industry that was as cutthroat as it was colorful. As she shows how he uses legal maneuvers, factory efficiencies, and sheer grit and cunning to save hundreds of jobs, she also reveals the truth about modern industry in America.

Morecambe boss Jim Bentley says he will once again have to wheel and deal in the January transfer window.
The Shrimps' manager wants to freshen up a squad currently 17th in League 2 but in a familiar message for fans says players will have to move out of the Globe Arena first.
Bentley also has other more pressing issues to deal with as Anton Forrester's loan from Blackburn is up after the game at Wycombe on Saturday and back-up goalkeeper Tony Thompson's short-term contract ends next week.
The Shrimps boss said: "We've got a loan that's up, a contract that's up, we've got a couple of young lads who've been out on loan and one or two who might go again on loan.
"There might be one or two of the senior lads who come knocking asking to go out on loan too.
"It's a busy time when the January window opens.
"I think we're the same as most clubs in that I think we need a bit of a freshness and a little bit of a turnaround.
"If you can compare a football squad to a car it can only go for so long and then the oil needs changing. It needs a little injection of something.
"At the moment though people will have to leave before players can come in so we might have to do a bit of wheeling and dealing but we'll see how the next week or two develops.
"Anything can happen in January and there's quite a bit of work to be done certainly in the first week just to iron out one or two bits."
One other consideration for Bentley is the possibility of interest in some of his promising young players with both Aaron McGowan and Ryan Edwards having been the subject of reported interest from clubs at a higher level.
Bentley said: "We've brought in good, young players who've done well and it wouldn't surprise me if the phone rings with an enquiry about one or two of them who've had a decent first half of the season.
"You can see that from the scouting list that comes to watch home games and little things you hear about people being watched when we travel away."

Beavers No. 1? 'Sports Illustrated' Says So (8/8/01)
Aug. 8, 2001
Associated Press
Aug. 8, 2001
PORTLAND, Ore. - The dream comeback the Oregon State football program has been making
the last couple of years just pushed the Beavers to the top of the national rankings, at least in the opinion of Sports Illustrated.
The magazine named Oregon State No. 1 in its preseason poll, putting pressure on the
Beavers like they've never felt before.
'It puts the target on our head,' said Mitch Barnhart, OSU athletic director.
'For the last couple of years we've been one of those teams that has quietly gone about
our business, but now we are in the spotlight.'
The Sports Illustrated college football preview issue, which hit some newsstands Wednesday,
also features OSU tailback Ken Simonton along with Oregon quarterback Joey Harrington on the cover. The headline is 'State of War: In Oregon a National Title is at Stake!'
Oregon is ranked seventh by Sports Illustrated.
At practice Wednesday, the ranking was all the talk between players who had a hard time
hiding their excitement, Barnhart said.
'I don't think the new kids that signed up were expecting to deal with this,' he said.
It's a different story for head coach Dennis Erikson, who is focusing on making the
prediction come true - not the prediction itself.
'Right now the only thing I'm thinking about is Fresno State,' he said, referring to the
Sept. 2 nationally televised opener in California.
He admits his first reaction to the ranking was 'shock.'
Yet Erickson appreciates the attention.
'It is nice to have our program recognized,' he said. 'It shows that people around the
country are taking notice of what we've accomplished.'
Unlike other rankings that consult sports writers or coaches, the Sports Illustrated ranking
is a general consensus reached by the editorial staff, said Rick McCabbe, spokesman for the magazine.
Sports Illustrated picked Nebraska to finish first last year, Penn State in 1999, Ohio State
in 1998, Penn State in 1997 and Tennessee in 1996. None of them finished the season they were picked to win it all in the No.1 slot.
The magazine is known for making an untraditional choice as its top pick, said Wiles Hallock,
historian of the Pacific-10 Conference.
'And it's a good idea,' Hallock said, 'because if they pick Florida and they win - big deal.'
Picking OSU is good public relations for the school and Sports Illustrated, Hallock added.
The magazine cover featuring Simonton also will boost the Oregon State campaign to help its
star running back win the Heisman Trophy, Barnhart said.
Simonton finished second in voting for the 2000 Heisman Trophy and is considered a
frontrunner this year.
Harrington, who will lead the rival Ducks at Oregon, also is considered a strong contender.
With so much attention on both Oregon programs, people around the nation are going to have
a difficult time ignoring the teams now, Hallock said.
'All of a sudden Oregon - particularly Oregon State - is jumping into the limelight,' he
said. 'It makes you wonder what's happening up there.'

The 2 vs. 1 drill is a phenomenal way to build ambidexterity that is emphasized in Modern Arnis.
I suspect that this drill has its antecedent in the old espada y daga methodology as there is some overlap between the two. I find that the 2 vs. 1 drill is a tremendous way of teaching both right and left hand techniques. This drill incorporates a number of techniques that can be practiced both with the right and left hand. Translations to single stick techniques is easy.
For example, if you are practicing a right hand dominant technique, the left stick can be used for hitting, blocking or any number of techniques. Translated to single stick, the left hand becomes the check hand.
The number of concepts that Master Chuck pulls out in this video is mind boggling. Thrusting, sweep stroke, abanico corto, snaking, double tapi tapi blocks, passing, palis palis, quick hits and high palis palis.
To top it all off, Master Chuck did an explosive demonstration of the single stick, showcasing all the things that he did in the 2 vs. 1 drill.
If you gain proficiency in executing techniques either hand in the 2 vs. 1 drill , single stick fighting seems like child's play in comparison.
Master Chuck has produced two videos on the 2 vs. 1 drills. If you have the opportunity to purchase them at one of his events, do it!

About this book
Knowledge of the development and evolution of the neural crest sheds light on many of the oldest unanswered questions in developmental biology. What is the role of germ layers in early embryogenesis? How does the nervous system develop? How does the vertebrate head arise developmentally and how did it arise evolutionarily? How do growth factors and Hox genes direct cell differenti ation and embryonic patterning? What goes wrong when development is misdi rected by mutations or by exposure of embryos to exogenous agents such as drugs, alcohol, or excess vitamin A? In 1988, I was instrumental in organizing the publication of a facsimile reprint of the classic monograph by Sven Horstadius, The Neural Crest: Its properties and derivatives in the light of experimental research, which was originally pub lished in 1950. Included with the reprint was my analysis of more recent studies of the neural crest and its derivatives. The explosion of interest in and knowledge of the neural crest over the past decade, however, has prompted me to produce this new treatment. Here, as in my 1988 overview, I take a broad approach to the neural crest, dealing with its discovery, its embryological and evolutionary ori gins, its cellular derivatives-in both agnathan and jawed vertebrates or gnathos tomes-and the broad topics of migration and differentiation in normal development. Cells from the neural crest are also associated with many develop mental abnormalities.

Subject: astrology as (potential) science of time
Astrology can obtain a contemporary form if it's primary elements can be derived from our generic collective experience of life on earth. Making common experience the criterion is daunting, since it requires the integration of personal experience within a social context grounded in the natural environment. It would appear that a pragmatic approach is best, which identifies the components of traditional astrology that are most readily accessible to consensus recognition. This enables the appearance of astrology as commonly taught and learnt to be `saved' to a substantial extent. To obtain credibility for this irrational belief system then remains the challenge.
The pragmatic approach proceeds to identify potential common ground with contemporary belief systems, upon which a connecting rationale might be erected. Such a rationale would serve the dual purpose of explaining the previously inexplicable beliefs of astrologers in a way that made sense to the modern educated sophisticated mind, and developing an evident consistency between astrology and other fields of knowledge. Such a pragmatic approach, if undertaken by astrologers in collaboration, and maintained sufficiently, would in effect be progressive, because it would build a multi-disciplinary contextual basis for astrology within the new paradigm. I'm here using paradigm in its widest postmodern sense, as the prevailing belief system of the emerging global civilisation, of which the new paradigm of science is merely the most influential component.
Rudhyar showed the way, using Smuts' theory of holism, Jung's theory of individuation and Assagioli's theory of psychosynthesis to provide the horoscope with a modern rationale as model of the psyche. His grasp of science was unfortunately too tenuous to enable him to go further, but it is surprising that others have failed to do so. A scan of astrologers' web sites reveals the abysmal performance in this area: one or two of promising quality, then a bunch that at least pay lip service to the need to provide astrology with a plausible rationale, then many more that deliberately set out to insult the readers' intelligence with pseudo-explanations, all of which are vastly out-numbered by the rest, which make no attempt to provide the public with reasons to take astrology seriously at all.
What if astrology really is a nascent science of time? The use of the horoscope seems always to have suggested so, but the focus has always been on each moment. Traditional astrology merely provides a (flexible) system for studying individual cases. The 20th century saw a progressive trend toward the development of a modern astrology in which the study of time periods became popular, but it was rather hamstrung by the lack of a rational theoretical framework. Time periods are features of the collective temporal environment. A consensual interpretive framework would enable astrologers to agree on the main features of time periods, and a relatively objective meaning of any time period would then be established by consensus. This would then be communicable to the general public. The public would be delighted. At the moment all they get is a cacophony of astrologers all asserting different subjective opinions, so they think astrology has no credible substance.
When I say a science of time, I mean science in its original sense. Scientists would tend to reject it as mere philosophy, but there is a fashion trend tending to sideline this once-prevailing view. The emergence of a multi-disciplinary alternative view, particularly within younger generations of scientists, accompanies the paradigm shift. Certain parameters will define the metaphysical territory of any science of time that can interface consistently with astrology. Nature must be defined as the home planet environment that we experience (not, as physicists understand it, to include outer space), and human experience of the temporal continuum must be assumed to be structured by the cycles of the solar system.
Traditional astrology provides an ad hoc theory for describing the changing qualities of the time we experience, but this can be improved by incorporating a theoretical structure that endows astrology with a consistency of meaning. This new structure ought to be consistent with the traditional framework. Identifying an archetypal structure to time cycles serves this purpose: no longer is it merely the signs of the zodiac that are given meaning by the 12 unique combinations of elements and modalities; houses and aspects can also be rationalised by means of the same logic. The appearances of the traditional primary components of the horoscope are thereby saved.
Dane Rudhyar seems to have intuitively seen this, without making it explicit. However he did advocate a focus on cycles in the process of change. In 1936 he wrote that "essentially life is cyclic motion". This may seem a metaphysical stance, but I have read books by specialists on biological clocks where it is asserted as a biological truth. "Astrology is philosophically meaningless unless it rests on a thorough understanding of cycles and of the creative potency of every moment - especially those `seed-moments' which become such by reason of their being the points of departure of cycles." (1)
"The new philosophy of Time, or of the Cycle, is yet to be written." Rudhyar write that he does not intend to provide it, but "a mere sketch of those of its aspects which refer more especially to psychology and astrology." "Every cycle can be interpreted structurally as being composed of beginning, middle and end." But these divisions "are to be understood in a metaphysical sense". He describes the beginning as the period of germination of a seed, after which "the energy which was in the seed keeps operating" and "has now become a process. This `process' is the fundamental reality of the `middle' of the cycle. By the term `middle', however, must be understood *the whole of the becoming* [italics]: The entire series of moments that occur between the initial moment of emanation and the final moment of consummation." (2)
"Astrology is rooted in the mystery of time.. the universe appears as a grouping of causally related elements in an abstract matrix which now is called space-time, or the continuum. In such a theory the essence of space completely absorbs the reality of time, which merely becomes a fourth dimension of space. As Bergson pointed out in his great work "Creative Evolution", the time of science is purely mathematical and has no intrinsic vital value. He then tried to approach the reality of time, which he expressed by the term `duration'." (3) Which prompts consideration of the following definition...
ENCYCLOPDIA BRITANNICA: process philosophy
a 20th-century school of Western philosophy that emphasizes the elements of becoming, change, and novelty in experienced reality; it opposes the traditional Western philosophical stress on being, permanence, and uniformity. Reality--including both the natural world and the human sphere--is essentially historical in this view, emerging from (and bearing) a past and advancing into a novel future. Hence, it cannot be grasped by the static spatial concepts of the old views, which ignore the temporal and novel aspects of the universe given in man's experience. Foremost among the many modern thinkers who have contributed to process philosophy have been Henri Bergson and Alfred North Whitehead.
It remains to be seen how evolved this philosophy has become, but it does seem to be complementary to Smuts' philosophy of holism, which Rudhyar did explicitly acknowledge and integrate into his modern theory of astrology (see p52-56, 58, 125). "Thus the science of cycles.. Cyclology is to the science of wholes what mathematics is to modern physical science. Mathematics analyzes space, cyclology analyzes time - real time, the time of the living and the whole. The former starts from a strictly causal, intellectual, external (in General Smuts' sense of the term) viewpoint of the universe, conceived as extended in an abstract space-time continuum, in which time is interpreted as an extra spatial coordinate. The latter starts from a synchronistic, holistic, internal view of the universe conceived as `in-tensed' in a cyclic psycho-biological time, the unit of which might be called the `quantum of duration', viz. the creative moment. The moment is creative inasmuch as it releases the power needed to make wholes. It is a sort of `photon', as it represents a unit of release of that whole-making energy which is the innermost reality of time." (4)
"In astrology, all measurements begin with the first point of independent existence; in the case of a human destiny, the first breath." (5) This rationale is consistent with traditional horoscopic practice. Rudhyar later comments that "the main differences between the astrological and the psychological approaches is that while the latter sees nothing but the "process of becoming whole" as it unfolds in Bergsonian duration through myriads of transformations, the former claims that the ultimate wholeness reached at the end of the process is already there at the very beginning of the process, but only as an abstract ideal and a mere potentiality." (6) The premise is that the `seed' in the moment that launches a (whole-making) process is some kind of plan that is inherent in natural time. This plan seems to exist at that deep, informational level of nature where the archetypes come from. I find it best to conceive it as a blueprint, a pattern which constellates the archetypes in an overall configuration in order to compose the whole which is launched into development as the process gets under way. The horoscope depicts this pattern.
Ancient astrologers used a horoscope to divine the prospects of a birth of a person or a city. The premise seems to have been that the configuration of the heavens somehow was a portent of the destiny of whatever began in the moment. "[E]very moment of time is creative of a particular quality which is, figuratively, stamped upon any whole reaching the condition of independent existence at that moment. The quality of the moment and the quality of the wholeness of the whole are identical." That's how Rudhyar translated the premise into modern terms in 1936. We can go a little further and postulate an archetypal pattern that produces planetary cycles and configurations synchronously with an invisible `imprint' of unique quality and schedule of development imparted to any commencing process. Along with sub-atomic particles, the archetypes of nature emerge from the realm of potential as the pattern of the solar system unfolds in time. In each microcosm that begins a process, the originating pattern manifests as "both energy and structure. The structure remains unchanging, as the blueprint does during a building operation.. In other words, the idea of the building is the archetype. It conditions the building-operations.. When the building-operations are completed, the blueprint has become substantialized into a concrete body." (7)
Rudhyar lamented that "traditional astrology is satisfied with stating the way in which a birth-chart (or horary, or progressed chart) is to be erected, and to tabulate the traditional meanings attached to every aspect and position, mixing up rather hopelessly psychological, physiological and purely divinatory concepts. Of the rationale of the elements used in passing judgement (positions, aspects, etc.) very little is usually said." (8) More than two Saturn cycles later, nothing has changed. Interpretations offered by astrologers are unconvincing at best and incoherent and banal at worst because they have yet to learn the language properly. A more standardised set of keywords will be compiled once astrologers realise that these are generated in consciousness by familiarity with the archetypes that underlie the symbols. Tradition retains a focus on the symbols, and while some associated historical meanings are fairly accurate, many are not, and this produces hit-or-miss interpretation. Progress requires going deeper than this, and will only be enabled by a focus on those archetypes that the components of the horoscope represent. What do they really mean? An attitude of enquiry is necessary.
Rudhyar wrote that "the philosophy of Time, which is the necessary background to a vital and holistic presentation of astrology, finds its expression essentially in two factors: viz., the Moment and the Cycle". (9) Mundane astrology provides traditional methods of utilising cycles to give meaning to time periods. The results remain unpersuasive because different practitioners pursue their personal artistry in doing so, and little consensual meaning is detected by the public observers of their assertions. If a contemporary approach were instead adopted, using the archetypal cycle as decoding device, a similar interpretive language would become familiar to practitioners, and the consequence would be the relatively objective description of the meaning of a time period produced by the similar (if not identical) descriptive terms deployed by the various interpreters.
The synchronicity depicted by the horoscope, a correspondence of pattern between heaven and earth that is produced by a unitary origin, is a microcosm which is a unique part of the passing of time on Earth, the latter being a continuum which is a macrocosm. If we regard the relation between moment and continuum as being primary, and the relation between event or psychological state and planetary configuration as secondary, we may get closer to a contemporary science of time that can form the philosophical basis of a contemporary theory of astrology. This primary relation is holistic: part to whole. The whole (continuum) is the temporal context of life, a fundamental, if unrecognised, part of our natural environment. It must be stressed that this is Gaian time - it is a continuum which is itself a minor local space microcosm of the space-time continuum described by physicists and astronomers (a macrocosm conceived as a universal context).
"Man models himself on Earth, Earth on Heaven, Heaven on the Way, and the Way on Nature" (Lao Tzu, ca. 6th century BC) (10)
An evocative thought, but I'd rather it signalled a more explicit message, even if simply that the same underlying pattern generates the phenomena of each realm. Since our right-brain hemisphere evolved to provide us with pattern recognition, how might we make this capacity more conscious? Marshall McLuhan's focus was the media, but his daughter's is nature, and she has an answer...
"Ideas about the universe and one's place in its structure are frequently conveyed through the intricately constructed world of correlation that often takes place in the natural world." "Thinking by correlation means recognizing causal, complementary, parallel or reciprocal relationships between two or more entities. It also means perceiving a pattern that can manifest at different levels and in a variety of ways." "The use of correlation allows the grand patterns of Nature and being to be grasped." (11)
She cites this oft-quoted insight of the distinguished anthropologist Gregory Bateson: "The pattern which connects is a metapattern. It is a pattern of patterns. It is that metapattern which defines the defines the vast generalisation that, indeed, it is patterns which connect." (12)
What strikes me as useful about this concept of metapattern for astrology, is that it enables the microcosm to be linked to the macrocosm somewhat more explicitly. The moment can be seen as a connecting node in the metapattern. Likening the metapattern to a web, or net, each node is linked by strands to others, and thus embedded in the context of the whole network. This image may prove helpful as analogy. Moments are not just sequential in the astrological world-view: the same moment may give birth to events anywhere on earth simultaneously. The relation of part to whole, moment to continuum, is spatio-temporal in context. Each microcosm has its place in the order of the macrocosm. This ordered relation of part to whole is the consequence of the metapattern which produces the whole. The pattern we see, that the horoscope represents, is just a momentary glimpse of a local manifestation of the metapattern.

Tomorrow we are going to London. We are leaving at fucking 7 o clock from copenhagen! It is going to be a though one for me. I'm always so grumpy in the morning and hate traveling before 12 am. So tonight we have to pack our stuff, go to latexa and pic up the cloth that H and K has made for me and Kes. They made me a shirt to wear at rubber ball so i don't look completely off in my shiny lacq. I've made a map so i know where both rubberball and torture garden is … should'nt be so hard to find these days!
It is though at work these days. Kinda like there is a bad wibe going on after we lost our last negotiantion partner in the B&H case. Hope it will improve as the A case gets up and running, though i kinda think it is a little strange we go on in that case even though we know investors will be doubtfull… anyway – enough work. Now i have to go.

Big bag, little bag
Have you seen the Fortune Cookie Bag in the Fall issue of Interweave Crochet? Very clever, I think. And the size is just right for a wallet, phone, keys.
But maybe you want to carry a little more—or less. Here are some options.
Bigger and smaller.
When I was testing the pattern, I used sock yarn to make this:
Cute, huh? It's about 4 inches wide and 4 inches tall, closed.
It's made of Patons Kroy Socks Jacquards (color 55611). Because it's washable wool & nylon, it doesn't felt. Which is probably just as well, since it's already small.
Look at it from the bottom:
How cool is that? This wee bag is big enough to hold notions such as stitch markers. Me, I like to keep it by my computer, so I can toss in bad mojo. End of the day, I just take it outside & shake it out. You probably need one of those, too.
I also made a big bag out of feltable wool (Lamb's Pride Bulky in colors Red Hot Passion M0197, Mulberry M-162 and Foxglove M-61).
Here it is prefelted, turned inside out and ready to go into a hot bath:
In this state, it measures 10 inches wide and 17.5 inches from bottom to top unfolded. The handle, shown in the top photo fresh off the hook, is stretched (from 24 inches to 38 inches), then sewn onto the bag before felting.
Here it is, post-felting:
It measures 9 inches wide by 17 inches unfolded; the pouch part is 9 inches by 8 inches, giving enough room for wallet, phone, keys AND a small project. Note that it didn't shrink very much, but the fabric got denser, so you don't have to line it. I'd suggest making the handle a little longer, because it did shrink, down to 31.5 inches, making it about 15 inches from shoulder down.
Here's the bottom view:
It's a pretty fun bag. And did I mention that it's fast to make? It is very fast. When you're done, it's good for quick trip to the store or a night out at the game. It's good for fiber night with your fiber buddies. And it would be a swell slumber party bag–just big enough for jammies, toothbrush, iPod.
How will you use your bag? Drop us a line here at CrochetMe.
Happy crocheting,

4) He denied paternity on his first child, claiming he was sterile. The mother had to initially raise the kid using welfare checks. I have no judgment on this at all. Raising kids is hard. And when you have a kid you feel like this enormous energy and creativity you have for the world is going to get misdirected into a... little baby (Jobs' parents must've felt that way as well. Like father, like son). Heck, I originally wanted my first kid to be aborted. But people change, mature, grow up. Eventually Jobs became a good father. And that's what counts in the end. Much worse if it was the reverse. I didn't know this either: that the Lisa computer (the "Apple III") was named after this first child.
5) He's a pescetarian. In other words, he eats fish but no other meat. And he eats anything else a vegetarian eats (including eggs and dairy). I think from now on I'm going to be a pescetarian, just because Steve Jobs is one. Except when I'm in Argentina. In Argentina you have to eat steak. Ted Danson and Mary Tyler Moore consider themselves pescetarians. Somehow, even the world "pescetarian" seems like it was invented in California.
7) He lied to Steve Wozniak. When they made Breakout for Atari, Wozniak and Jobs were going to split the pay 50-50. Atari gave Jobs $5000 to do the job. He told Wozniak he got $700 so Wozniak took home $350. Again, no judgment. Young people do things. Show me someone who says he's been honest from the day he was born and I'll show you a liar. It's by making mistakes, having fights, finding out where your real boundaries in life are, that allow you to truly know where the boundaries are.
8) He's a Zen Buddhist. He even thought about joining a monastery and becoming a monk. His guru, a Zen monk, married him and his wife. When I was going through some of my hardest times my only relief was sitting with a Zen group. Trying to quiet the mind to deal with the onrush of non-stop pain that was trying to invade there. The interesting thing about Jobs being a a Zen Buddhist is that most people would think that serious Buddhism and being one of the wealthiest people in the world come into conflict with each other. Isn't Buddhism about non-attachment? Didn't Buddha himself leave his riches and family behind?
But the answer is "no". It's normal to pursue passions and outcomes, but just not to become overly attached to those outcomes. Being happy regardless of the outcome. A great story is the Zen master and his student walking by a river. A prostitute was there and needed to be carried over the river. The Zen master picked her up and carried her across the river and then put her down. Then the master and student kept walking. A few hours later the student was so agitated he finally had to ask, "Master, how could you touch and help that prostitute! That's against what we believe in!" And the Master said, "I left her by the river. Why are you still carrying her?"
9) He didn't go to college. I actually didn't know this initially. Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg are the famous college dropouts that I knew about. But apparently Steve Jobs went to Reed College for one semester and then dropped out. I guess you don't need college to program computers, make computers, build businesses, make movies, manage people, etc. (Of course, you can see all my other posts on why kids should not go to college.)
10) Psychedelics. Steve Jobs used LSD at least once when he was younger. In fact, he said about the experience, it was "one of the two or three most important things I have done in my life." Apple's slogan for many years was "Think Different". Maybe using a drug which tore him from the normal frame of reference taught him how to look at problems from such a unique perspective. I don't think LSD is for everyone, but when you combine it with the innate genius the man had, plus the many ups and downs that he experienced, plus the Zen Buddhism and all of the other things above, it's quite possible it all adds up to the many inventions he's been able to produce.
Steve Jobs' story is filled with nuance and ambiguity. People study Steve Jobs by looking at his straightforward business successes. Yes, he started Apple in a garage. Yes, he started Pixar and almost went broke with it. Yes, he started and sold Next and he was fired as CEO of Apple, and blah blah blah. But none of that will ever explain the man behind the genius. None of that will explain all the products he invented that we use today. None of that will tell us about the iPad, Toy Story, the MacBook Air, the Apple II+, etc. A man's successes can be truly understood only if we can count his tears. And unfortunately in the case of Steve Jobs, that is one task that's impossible.

We increased sales dramatically but more than that we collected more customers!- CHRISTIAN LAFFERTY
Today is July 1, 2016. I have been coached by Chris Collins and his amazing team for three months. In this short amount of time we have experienced amazing results. Increased CSI, increase in ELR, doubled net to gross and my technicians have gone from barely 100% efficient to 120% efficient.- JEFF SPENCER

My opinion? All of that work was worth it, but I'm not yet committing to taking more than one bag next year.
Here's a reminder of why we did it:
If you do take some count me in. I loved making them and think it is such a sweet charity for girls.ReplyDelete
Maybe cash would be better to help you with your mission? I don't know if you could mail things ahead... You are doing great work and I am just so proud of you!ReplyDelete
I certainly can see that it is tons of work - and I know what it is like having to get through customs in a foreign country. Not fun! Travel is hard enough with just your own stuff. We will all understand if you don't go with dresses next time.ReplyDelete
Love seeing the girls in the dresses. Quite a physical and mental challenge for you with the logistics of getting them into the country and the daily handling of them.ReplyDelete
Lori,Thank you so much for sharing.Seeing the pillowcase dresses on your blog gave me the nudge I needed to start making these for our teams to take to Haiti. Also this summer a friend of mine learned about these from a friend in Kansas. One day when she came to my home I told her I had another idea for Haiti, and she said I do too. What is your idea? And so we shared and now through our Sowers (quilting) circle we are organizing an all church sew day to make the dresses to send with our teams in April and August. Amazing how the Lord works. We already have an all church Sew Day to make school bags, and my goal each year is to make 100, and I've fulfilled that and finished 130 more for above friend that she lined, because the backing was rubberized and we didn't want that to be an issue in hot countries. Beautiful pics.ReplyDelete
It was such a wonderful thing for you to do. I know it was rewarding, but I am sure it was a bit overwhelming too. Please don't feel badly that you would like to scale it down a bit next time. We all appreciate all you have done!ReplyDelete
I will be happy to make dresses again if you need some ! Don't hesitate but I understand it's a very hard organisation !
What a warm heart that you have! God's richest blessings to you on your next journey!ReplyDelete
Oh Lori! It sounds overwhelming. I loved making the little dresses but perhaps a donation of funds would be more practical.
Or [I ve said before!] a quilt auction here on your blog, in the great historic tradition of charity quilt fund raisers?
What a great chronology of the trip. And those kids are just adorable!ReplyDelete
Interesting to hear more of your experience. I admire you for all you went through to distribute those dresses.ReplyDelete
while its very nice you made/collected items for children. I see absolutely no reason to go to a foreign country to give items to children. do you have any idea how many children right here in the united states are beaten, starved, living in poverty every single day of their lives? yet we choose to go to another country and show them what rich americans have. why not look in your own community for families or children that need help. I bet you'll find them right on your own block or even living next door.ReplyDelete
the more important is to help, whatever the country..;In Europe, we are in crisis too and we have migrants to help...You made a good job!ReplyDelete
I love to reply to comments or a question. If you are on email@example.com I have no way of contacting you. Please leave an email address. If you need help changing the setting please email me.

Mountain Bike
SQlab - 611 Active Saddle
SQlab is a German company specialized in manufacturing cycling accessories, such as pedals, handlebars, grips, and saddles. A field in which SQlab is certainly at the forefront is that of saddle design. SQlab saddle are designed and built in collaboration with orthopedic physicians and urologists. Go Out Project has had the chance to test the new SQlab saddle model for Mountain Bike: the 611 Active saddle. Here, a report of our tests on the trails.
Technical Description
The special design of the SQlab saddles has been dubbed Stepsaddle and is characterised by a rather large rear part, which is also visibly much higher than the "nose". This has the aim to
Excessive pressure in the perineal area, in fact, may easily lead to numbness and soreness and, in extreme cases, it may even cause quite serious injuries.
The Stepsaddle profile is combined with the MaxContact technology on the nose, which consists of a flatter and wider supporting area, allowing to optimally distribute the body weight. The 611 Active saddle also features another important innovation, a technology dubbed Active Concept. The peculiarity of the Active Concept resides in a flexible insert (provided in 3 distinct hardness levels) that allows a certain degree of flexibility of the saddle around its longitudinal axis during pedaling. According to SQlab, this allows the saddle to follow the natural pelvic movement and reduces the stress on the spine.
SQlab saddles are available in different sizes, with different widths of the rear part. To choose the one that best suits your body shape, which is fundamental for the proper functioning of the whole system, SQlab retailers have a measuring system consisting of a simple corrugated cardboard, on which you should sit with adequate pressure on the pubic bones to leave a visible footprint. Alternatively, if you can't find an official dealer in your area, you can still easily do it yourself (instructions on how to perform the measurement are given together with the saddle).
Our Test
We tested the SQlab 611 Active saddle mounted on a Haro Mary XC 29 steel frame hardtail. We tested it for more than 6 months, mainly for enduro on single track.
As explained by SQlab, to find the right position of the saddle we had to modify some parameters with respect to our usual position: in particular, given the above average height of the saddle itself, a slight lowering was necessary, together with a slight shift forward to reduce the saddle setback. It is, in fact, essential that the pubic bones precisely and properly sit on the wider part of the saddle. Also the anteroposterior inclination of the seat may require some adjustment. Given the Stepsaddle profile, this adjustment is rather critical since it can greatly influence the stability on the saddle. If the saddle is oriented with the "nose" pointing too low, you may tend to slide forward.
Our Impressions
Some of the comments of our riders:
The saddle weighs about 300 g, so not exactly a featherweight! However, in our opinion this can still be considered a fairly good result, considering the size of the saddle and its integrated shock absorbing Active Concept system.
The initial feeling was that of a rather hard saddle. The padding is actually not very thick. However, already after a few kilometres, once used to the new seat pretty quickly. After a few rides, any possible initial discomfort will gradually decrease, until it disappears completely. The Stepsaddle design may require some adaptation and adjustment, as written above, but you can immediately appreciate the decreased pressure in "sensitive areas", which is undeniably one of the most interesting benefit of these saddles.
The Active Concept is definitely the feature that we liked the most. The freedom of movement granted to the pelvis is really appreciable. Despite the degree of freedom offered, the sitting surface is stable and it also offers a certain degree of absorption of the asperities, certainly of great advantage on hardtails. Thanks to this, over long distances, the 611 Active saddle tends to be much less tiring than a traditional saddle.
In our view, the only flaw of the 611 Active saddle is the lack of cushioning on the nose. During climbs seated on the saddle, we have often found it quite uncomfortable.
Our Verdict
The mountain bike saddle SQlab 611 Active is a customisable saddle with innovative design that offers an ideal combination of comfort and control. Its unique design effectively contributes to eliminate, or at least alleviate, many of the common cycling problems. In conclusion, we have really got a great feeling with the SQlab 611 Active. In fact, we liked so much so, that many of us have not gone back to their old traditional saddle!
+ Excellent workmanship and quality of materials
+ Great comfort over long distances and over rough terrains
+ More natural ride and less stress on the spine
- Lack of padding on the nose- Not for "weight maniacs"

Lisa Steinke and Liz Fenton crafted the perfect summer read with their debut novel Your Perfect Life. I have been a fan of these two writers and their blog for many years and have been eagerly awaiting this book for what felt like an eternity. As soon as it was available for pre-order, I hit my favorite button on Amazon (Buy Now) and counted down the days until the release date.
Between Casey's celebrity hobnobbing and party-girl, single life and Rachel's suburban fairytale turned modern day bored housewife, readers get to enjoy both sides of every woman's fantasy – being single, wild and free while also being super mom and wife.
When I first started reading Your Perfect Life, my eyes may have rolled a little at the switching bodies storyline, but it was the well-developed and relatable characters that truly drew me into the story. I loved Casey's attitude and drive and Rachel's deep love for her family and could totally relate to her need to control everything without ever asking for help.
After about 3 or 4 chapters, I was hooked and could not put the book down. The more I read Casey in Rachel's life and vice versa, the less I wanted them to switch back. Through the switch, each got to experience the one thing they longed for but were both too scared to try. For Rachel, it was having her own career and following her passion for journalism and for Casey, her deep, long-hidden desire to be a mother finally bubbled up to the surface.
What I loved most about this novel was that I was able to truly connect with both characters. As a driven, type-A person, I could put myself in Casey's shoes and as a dreamer who is often far too rooted in reality, I was able to truly understand Rachel and the choices she made along the way.
For me, the hallmark of a great book is how sad I am when I turn the page and instead of finding more story, I instead find acknowledgements. A great story is one you don't want to end and start to crave to know more about the characters and their stories. Your Perfect Life did just that for me – seriously Liz and Lisa, I need more!

There is no doubt that the best and most highly trained medical staff work at the various locations throughout the country in emergency medical centers. Urgent care training, emergency room training or triage training are all a part of specialized training that prepares these medical professionals to make instantaneous decisions at a moments notice.
Emergency medical centers, urgent care facilities and emergency rooms are all high stress locations to work. Professionals in the field must be alert, composed and able to deal with incredible stress for long shifts with very little down time or time to just sit and relax. One of the key training components of emergency medical centers, urgent care locations or emergency room training is to manage your own emotions and be able to focus completely on the patient at hand, examining all the visual and physical signs of illness, injury or distress as well as evaluating treatment and immediate care.
Emergency medical centers, urgent care clinics or hospitals or even first responders such as EMT's must be trained in all the basic and advanced levels of first aid as well as the more detailed medical procedures needed to effectively relay to other professionals what is happening for the patient. Emergency medical centers urgent care staff must be able to work together as a team to provide the fastest and most effective treatment for the patient at all times. Often this means being able to evaluate a patient's condition and prioritize treatment based on needs. This needs a very good knowledge of medicine and treatments as well as an ability to ask the right questions and listen closely to the answers.
Often emergency medical centers, urgent care facilities or emergency departments will be divided into different areas for patient treatment, but this will depend on the size of the hospital or clinic. A typical emergency room training will provide the doctor or nurse experience in each one of the areas ranging from resuscitation to drug related treatment, heart attack and stroke, medical and surgical area, pediatric area for treating children and a triage area where a nurse or doctor decides on treatment and priority of treatment. As the doctor or nurse moves through the different areas of the emergency room they typically will specialize in one or more areas, but will still be needed to perform any and all duties as needed by the patients that arrive at the emergency treatment facility.

Out in the hills again
The shot posted is looking south down the Roaring Meg. We got back in the dark with very wet feet as both Roger and myself broke through a freezing snow crust into pools of water - something I've not done for a few years, but we were not over a creek [v. dangerous], but instead encountered it on the edge of a track where we simply underestimated the depth of a ditch made years ago. Lots of snow had drifted over it and in the spring, underneath the melt water has eroded away most of it leaving a thin lid!
Shirley left a comment on my last post asking what sort of camera I use. You can see it here:
It's been very challenging mastering it's scope - what it does well it does exceedingly well, while it's short comings are the other extreme. But most of all it's mobility is what I cherish, and since it's 10 x optical zoom does not show as a lens poking out, my potential subjects keep behaving in a relaxed way, as I don't look very serious in the distance.

Cooking as a single parent
What is this site all about
If you are a single parent trying to figure out how to cook for your kids, yourself and the occasional guest then step into my kitchen with me. I have been working hard to use my kitchen skills to understand cooking as a single parent.
This site is designed for a few different people, but mainly it is a way for me to offer the little bit I know to other single parents (specifically dads, but moms are more than welcome). I have two fantastic kids, more pets than make sense, and a long and extensive restaurant history. I know food and I try my hardest to be a good parent. I understand that cooking as a parent sharing custody has its own distinct challenges with trying to figure out great single parent cooking ideas. Sometimes we have to cook for several mouths (often with very distinct opinions about what will go in said mouths), sometimes we are only cooking for ourselves, and sometimes we want to cook that special meal for that special someone. I hope to be able to help with all of that and to share my challenges with being a single dad along the way.
As this page and my blog develop you can expect a number of things to start to show up.
Recipes for cooking as a single parent
I imagine many of you will be stopping by looking for recipe ideas. I will be adding these over the next few weeks. The recipes will be divided into several categories.
Food kids will eat:
We all know that what our kids are going to eat is not always what we want to eat (okay I know there are a number of you out there that go by the "my kid eats what I eat" philosophy and I respect that and work towards that myself, but there are days when I want to eat and I want my children to eat and I want us all to be happy at the same time so…:-). This group of recipes will focus on either easy to prepare, fun to cook together, or ways for your kids to explore and develop their own kitchen skills (while keeping their fingers attached).
Food just for you:
If you are like me then you don't get to spend every day with your kids (both a blessing and a curse) and we have to change how we cook from day to day. Cooking for two or three or four is different than cooking for one. This second group of recipes will address those concerns and will offer ways that you can eat well, but not throw a ton of stuff out.
Food to impress:
Finally we all hope to dine with another adult at least occasionally and when we do it is always nice if we can put something on the plate that makes us look like pros. This collection of recipes will center on cooking for someone that we want to impress and will range from super simple and may get a bit complicated for those of you that want to give it a shot.
Kitchen tips, tricks and tools
I will also try to consistently offer blog posts and web pages that offer suggestions to make your life in your kitchen easier, from tips on keeping things clean as you go to ways to plan and shop. I will also occasionally review cook books, kitchen equipment and other things of note that you may or may not find useful. In the interest of full disclosure when I recommend something I will usually include a link for you to purchase that item from a reputable website and if you do I may get a small commission. However, I have no interest in convincing you to buy something that you don't need or worse something that is not valuable. Feel free to push back if you ever question my reviews and tell me why you think I am wrong (I am certainly occasionally wrong).
Other stuff about being single and a parent
I will also occasionally write about and share things that have nothing to do with being in the kitchen, but instead deal with being a dad, a parent, and/or single. These each bring challenges to our lives and if in sharing my thoughts I can alleviate some stress from someone else (or from myself), then great, though at the very least I hope I can share some stories that you will enjoy reading.
Over all I hope you enjoy the site and that you will engage with me by commenting and sharing your own stories.
A side note: I know that many of you may not be on the best terms with the other parent, but this site is not where you should share that. I am not interested in fostering a place where bashing the parent of our children is acceptable. The challenges inherent in co-parenting are more than welcome, but please let's be sure to keep it positive, if only for the sake of our kids. Thanks!
