Things foreign blood donors should know:
1) You have to be in Korea for at least 1 year to qualify for donation.
2) You need to speak/ read Korean OR have a Korean translator (who is NOT your fiend) to help you arrange and attend the appointment.
3) If you have been on a holiday abroad in the last year, you cannot donate blood. If you've spent more than 1 day in a malaria risk area, you have to wait 2 years. * This appears to be a flexible rule depending on your luck of the draw- they could reduce the exclusion time from 1 year to 1 month if you went to a "safe" country.
4) You will need your ARC (Alien Registration Card).
Still in the game? Good. Most people fall at hurdle #3.
5) If you're from the UK/ Europe there is a strong chance you will be turned away because of the risk of CJD (Mad Cow Disease).
Still in the game? High 5! Go, go now! Donate and feel proud!
Rhesus Negative Blood Types can join a Facebook group called " Blood Connections: Giving and Receiving in Korea". You can find an English Version of the Blood Donation Interview document on the site, and they post urgent donation requests, especially for platelets for cancer sufferers.
Like many things in Korea, there is a flexible nature to some of these rules. The outcome of the screening process could be influenced by the person who is interviewing you, their comfort levels with foreigners and their general experience in the field.
I'm going to have to wait until I'm back in the UK before I donate. In the meantime, I hope I dodge any accident/ illness that would require me to have a blood transfusion in Korea 😛

I don't know if you've noticed but I haven't really been around that much and I'm trying to post on my scheduled day but if I'm honest a lot of things happened that make that pretty difficult at the moment. Firstly my phone broke so I had to get a new one yesterday meaning I loosed the photos that were for the recipe post that was due to be posted today ( I'll sort it and get them done for next week ) but that kind of threw me today. I'm also going on holiday with my family next week and then to Belgium with my aunt to see the battlefields. I'm really excited to go away with my family and just get away for a while ( even if I haven't packed yet hehe ) I think it's really important to just get away once into a while to somewhere where no one knows who you are, I find you begin to act like you again :) I will hopefully ( we're not sure if there's wifi ) post whilst I'm away with my family but when I go to Belgium I'm pretty sure I won't be able to, so if I disappear again then that's where I've gone !
As we're here and you've been ever so lovely and read through all my slightly confusing scheduling issues hehe, we might as well have a quick chat about a few other little things :) Firstly, have you heard Fight Song ? I'm not a massive fan of the original but a musician called Charlotte Campbell covered it and oh my gosh I love it ! I can't stop playing it :) Another one of her covers that is so genuinely lovely is Wasn't Expecting That, I couldn't not mention it.
Also in the world of Marianne, a few months back I started piano lessons again ! I played piano for a long time when I was very young but I just didn't particularly enjoy it and it took me a long time to quit and I didn't want to practise because It was effort and it was just a lot of extra work if I'm completely honest and because of that, I was rubbish. But this time I'm a lot older and one day I just thought, I'd really like to play piano again . So I asked my dad and he got me some lessons but we decided not to work towards grades because I didn't need extra pressure. I have been going now for about two months and I love going to my lessons ! I'm not good at piano and I don't feel the need to be. Nothing depends on me learning to play well and because of that I just have to try what I can do and I always leave feeling really calm because when I make a mistake I actually just laugh at myself now . It's amazing what you can achieve after a few weeks of just trying ( admittedly a lot of trying ) but still just trying . Be kind to yourself, you don't have to be amazing at something to enjoy it, enjoy being not good at something . No one wants to be the best, being the best is boring. You'd have nothing else to learn !
* Que another quick topic change* Me and my boyfriend have been trying to get through all of the doctor who episodes from the ninth doctor onwards . We're now on the sixth series, I want us to get to the end of series 8 before the new series comes out in September ! Is anyone else super excited for that ? Let me know if there's any whovians reading this blog, in the comments :)
Right, I feel I've rambled enough now ! This is a very old style, chatty post . I don't usually do these anymore because I did a lot of them on my previous blog but I just fancied having a chat and getting a few of the smaller things I wanted to share with you into a post :) I'd actually quite like to do a few more personal posts on my blog, a little like this so let me know if you'd enjoy reading that or just prefer my usual stuff !
Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)

For our big wedding that we attended this weekend, I took all the kids to get their hair cut. This was AC's first hair cut....she was a little skeptical at first:)
But, then they gave her a lollipop and she was fine :)
C was a pro and he looked like a STUD when he was done. He hasn't had a legit hair cut(not from dad) in a long time!!
While AM was getting her hair cut, she talked and talked. She told her stylist how her daddy had hairy legs and arms, but not so much on his head.
Thank God for Lollipops!!
If He Would Just…Then…

After two losses over the weekend over first-place Stanfield, the Sherman Huskies three games behind Irrigon and Pilot Rock have four games remaining to earn a shot at a district berth.
The No. 6 Stanfield Tigers posted mercy-ruled wins of 14-2 and 12-0 Friday in Blue Mountain Conference baseball play in Stanfield.
In the opener, Stanfield scored two runs in the first frame and added four in the second, three in the third and seven runs in the bottom of the fourth inning with 14 hits off Husky pitchers Austin Kaseberg and Jarred Davis.
Of the 14 runs allowed, only six were earned, as the Sherman defense committed six errors.
Eddy Lopez led the Husky offense with a 1 for 2 effort with a double and two RBIs. Nick Coleman had a hit, a walk and a run scored, and both Alex Fields and Nick von Borstel notched a hit each.
In the nightcap, Stanfield broke open a 3-0 lead with eight runs in the third frame and added two more in the fourth to run out to a 12-0 win and a sweep.
Supported by the offense, Stanfield's Bryce Linker went 4 for 4 with two runs and two RBIs, and tossed five innings of one-hit ball with 12 strikeouts.
Lopez and Davis received walks for Sherman and von Borstel kicked in the Huskies' lone hit.
Davis got the starting nod and he allowed eight hits, nine runs, two earned, issued two walks and struck out two.
Once again, the huskies committed six errors and just four of the runs allowed were earned.
Sherman (4-1 overall, 3-7 league) plays Horizon (4-13, 0-10) at 11 a.m. Saturday.

Sometimes they're lit up with energy and other times they're adorably droopy with drowsiness — either way, you can't take your eyes off your toddler's eyes. And they're two of her most active body parts — they're constantly looking (and learning about) the big world out there. That's why it's essential to keep toddlers' eyes in tip-top shape. Here's how:
Clean with care. The skin around toddler eyes is extra thin and sensitive, so be extra gentle with your face-washing routine. Lightly rub — never scrub — around your toddler's eyes during toddler tub time. If you notice dried-up residue on your tot's eyelashes (maybe after the sandman's paid a visit), moisten a soft washcloth with lukewarm water and gently remove the crust. (If necessary, use a dab of no-tears shampoo to help the process along.)
Make sure checkups include a toddler eye exam. "Well" visits to the pediatrician are important for a host of reasons, including keeping an eye on the health of those toddler eyes. Tell your pediatrician if you notice your child is having difficulty with her eyes — perhaps she doesn't seem to see things other people can from the same distance, or squints frequently, or her eyes look crossed at times. The doc will take a look at your toddler's eyes and if necessary, refer you to an ophthalmologist for a more in-depth exam.
Protect eyes from injury. While child injuries that damage toddler eyes and eyelids are blessedly rare, prevention is the name of the game here. If you haven't already kicked up your efforts of childproofing your home to the next level, now's the time to look around for toddler-height hazards, like sharp corners on your coffee table or shelves that stick out from the wall. Cushion what you can and conduct a search-and-remove mission for other potential eye-pokers, like pencils, pens, sticks, and toys with rods or sharp edges. (These are especially dangerous to toddlers' eyes in the car and also in spaces where your child might be running or jumping.) Always keep your tot at a safe distance when you're mowing the lawn or working with power tools that create flying debris or dust, and store household cleaners and other toxic substances out of your toddler's reach — many of these can irritate or damage toddlers' eyes on contact.Shade toddler eyes from the sun. You're diligent about applying sunscreen to your child's sensitive skin, so make sure you protect your toddler's eyes from UV rays as well. Too much sun can make her squint with discomfort (and could even cause cataracts later). Shield her peepers with a wide-brimmed hat or baseball cap and/or a pair of (way cool) toddler shades. As with adult sunglasses, look for unbreakable, scratch-proof lenses that block at least 99 percent of UVA and UVB rays. And consider a kid-sized sports band to keep her shades in place as she gallops, jumps, hops, skips…you get the idea.

Global Warming Climate Panel Reaches Consensus on Need to Reduce Harmful Emissions
Climate Panel Conclusions on Warming
The world needs to divert substantially from today's main energy sources within a few decades to limit centuries of rising temperatures and seas driven by the buildup of heat-trapping emissions in the air, the top body studying climate change has concluded. Here's a link to the full article by Andrew C. Revkin in today's NY Times:
Hi Ralph,
I just read an article written by "Gerald Flores" in which he reckons that even if we stopped emitting heat-trapping gases immediately, the climate would not stabilize for many decades because the gases we have already released into the atmosphere will stay there for years or even centuries. So while the warming may be lower or increase at a slower rate than predicted if we reduce emissions significantly, global temperatures cannot quickly return to today's averages. And the faster and more the earth warms, the greater the chances are for some irreversible climate changes.
From what I've read it seems as though theres no real urgency being placed on the whole global warming issue. Yes I know everyones talking it up but thats all thats seems to be happening.
I've posted the link where I found the article if anyones wants to read the full post, its under the heading of "we need to act now"
Global warming is real. Only thing is, global warming is a transient trend in the cycles of earth's history.
If one reviews the temperature history that scientists have obtained, There can be no conclusion other than that our current climate is a natural cycle, no worse than prior cycles. See, https://hubpages.com/misc/The-Global-Warming-Fores orhttp://Ipsism.com
Climatologists ignore the affects of geological events, such as sub-oceanic volcanoes and astrogocial findings. Everyone takes a small sampling of data to support their pet hypothesis, rather than examining the globe in a unified approach. As such, there is rancor and duplicity to force an agenda that will make a few super-rich while making the majority poorer.
Don't worry livelonger the CIA is going to lobby in the medias for that:
"Mitigation is not happening and is not going to happen," physicist Lowell Wood declared at the NASA conference. Wood, the star of the gathering, spent four decades at the University of California's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where he served as one of the PENTAGON'S CHIEF WEAPON DESIGNERS and threat analysts. (He reportedly enjoys the "Dr. Evil" nickname bestowed by his critics.) The time has come, he said, for "an intelligent elimination of undesired heat from the biosphere by technical ways and means," which, he asserted, could be achieved for a tiny fraction of the cost of "the bureaucratic suppression of CO2." His engineering approach, he boasted, would provide "instant climatic gratification."
Of course people will think as usual that the support of such idea will come from themselves whereas the medias "suggested" it to them.
The only way that's going to happen is if a substantial carbon tax is devised and enforced. How many politicians are going to support that?

Direct Neural Interfaces are now undergoing clinical trials in the US. The thought that we'll be using direct mental links to our computers sometime in the foreseeable future almost makes up for the disappointment that we won't be using perpetual motion machines to generate free, unlimited energy. Also, I rather like the idea that getting computers to understand and respond to speech may therefore turn out to be a dead end. Having grown up with computers that crashed as often as they stayed up, usually taking hours of work with them, I've never liked the idea of having them understand many of the things I
say to scream hysterically at them.

The govt's two-pronged attack on counterfeit medicines hopes to educate
local pharmacists and consumers, while working with regional officials
to crack down on fake suppliers
Photo by:
A pharmacist at the busy Sok Serey Pharmacy near Central Market pauses for a moment before getting medicine for a customer.
Chroeng Sokhan, vice director of the Department of Drugs and Food, said that two of the three "ghost manufacturers" - companies that produce fake drugs - that make the majority of the counterfeits in Cambodia are located in China.
WITH a fever, an upset stomach and a splitting headache, Chheth Sokha, 52, did what she always did when she felt sick - she went to the grocery store and bought some cheap medicine.
"Whenever I am sick, I always buy medicine at grocery stores because it is cheaper than at big pharmacies," she said.
She bought the same medicine she had purchased the last time she was sick, but this time instead of making her feel better, the medicine landed her in the hospital.
"The doctor told me that I was poisoned by the medicine. I thought by buying cheap medicines I could save money, but it was the opposite. Fake medicine cost me even more when I got worse and had to go to the hospital," she said.
The medicine that Chheth Sokha bought was almost certainly counterfeit. The problem of fake medicine in Cambodia is a long-standing one, and despite efforts from the World Health Organisation, Interpol and the Cambodian government, it is a problem not easily cured.
Efforts to minimise the problem have focused on enforcement and education and have seen some success. WHO estimates that around 10 percent of the drugs in Cambodia are counterfeit, a decline of about three percent since 2002.
Prevalence decreasing
"The prevalence of counterfeit drugs has decreased. We have done a lot of education about counterfeited items, and the items have started to disappear in the markets," said Chroeng Sokhan, the vice director at the government's Department of Drugs and Food.
But he admitted that due to the global nature of the problem, there is only so much that can be done locally.
"Counterfeiters have a lot of money, so they can do many things. They can adapt. It's a difficult problem to solve locally. We need Interpol support for cross-border help," he said.
Counterfeiters have a lot of money so ... it is a difficult problem to solve.
The government says it is working with its neighbours to decrease the number of fake drugs smuggled across borders of Southeast Asia.
"We are taking measures to crack down on the illegal trafficking of fake medicine. This is being done with the cooperation of authorities in neighbouring countries," Deputy Prime Minister Sar Kheng said in a meeting last week.
The other part of Cambodia's war against counterfeits is to educate Cambodians about the dangers of fake pharmaceuticals. The government as well as drug producers have focused on educating pharmacists, hoping to create a front line against the distribution of counterfeits in the Kingdom.
Has Aun, a pharmacist who sells medicine near Central Market, said: "It is difficult for us to know whether a drug is fake or good because they really look the same. But we have been trained on how to detect fake drugs by the drug producers and the Ministry of Health."
Sok Serey, another pharmacist, said: "The ministry's agents examine our pharmacy at least two or three times a year. They train us how to check for expired drugs and how to check the brand names of drugs."
The sophistication of some of the counterfeit drugs have made it nearly impossible to tell if a drug is authentic or not. For the last five years, counterfeit malaria medicine with holograms nearly indistinguishable from the real medicine have been found in Cambodia, according to a report authored by top malaria researchers.
Detection difficult
Tey Sovannarith, the deputy director of the Technology Office in the Drug Quality Experimentation and Examination Department, said that when a visual inspection is inconclusive, he needs to resort to checking the melting time of the pills in order to know for sure if a drug is counterfeit.
The counterfeit drug market has hurt the reputation of overseas drug companies in Cambodia, especially ones from China. Sok Serey said that her pharmacy did not carry any medicine made in China because of the danger of counterfeits.
"I don't like Chinese medicine. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't," she said.
What can Cambodian consumers do? According to William Mfuko, the officer responsible for essential medicines at WHO in Cambodia, because of public education efforts, all Cambodians need to is "watch TV, listen to their radio and look out for posters that warn against counterfeit drugs".
Most importantly, he said "they should develop habits of consulting medical professionals for their drug needs".
"Self-medication is often the driving force behind counterfeit drug markets," he said.
Through continued education and better enforcement, the government hopes that Cambodians will become more discerning drug consumers and will learn what Chheth Sokha had to figure out the hard way.
"From now on, I will remember the doctor's advice not to use medicines which do not have clear or proper brand names," she said.
"Moreover, I will be really careful taking medicine because they are double-edged swords. They are good for us only if we use them properly.
But if we do not use them properly, they could kill us," she added.

Tutor Update day 16 February 2013
All tutors of UKCC and Teaching Orienteering courses in Scotland are invited to an update day on Saturday 16 February 2013.
In line with the "Tutors" section of the SOA Coaching Plan, we will be running an update session on Saturday 16 February 2013 for all tutors of UKCC and Teaching Orienteering courses in Scotland. All qualified (and near-qualified) tutors are invited to attend, whether you have actually taught the courses or not. The session will be held in the classroom at Kinnoull Hill, near Perth. It will be indoors only, or outside on the hard standing immediately adjacent to the classroom. There will be no orienteering map available.
The main themes of the day will be to explore and develop the role of tutor as FACILITATOR, and to share RESOURCES.
Such update sessions are important to ensure that we maintain consistent approaches to these courses, and keep up good standards of tuition. They also allow us to share good ideas, and we firmly believe we can always learn from other tutors. In addition, British Orienteering are making some changes to the standard course, we have a useful new handout about links with Curriculum for Excellence, and I think most of you will benefit from a reminder of admin procedures.
Please e-mail me to book your place. If you can't attend this update session, and haven't attended a BOF UKCC/TO tutor orientation or update session within the last 2 years, an Internal Verifier will sit in on the next course you deliver, and you will need a 1-to-1 update beforehand.
There will be no charge for attendance at the session, but you will be liable for meeting your own travel expenses, as this session is an enabler to earning income (for most of you).
Further details can be downloaded using the link below.

|Shin-Soo Choo
|Troy Tulowitzki

|Bryce Harper

|Josmil Pinto
Lineup updated at 5:17 PM EST
Before digging into the lineup, there are a couple of things to note. First, this particular lineup is subject to change, and we'll be updating it throughout the day as lineups are revealed. Second, if you want to differentiate the roster a bit, check out our optimal lineup tool, where you can swap out player - or even full teams - to get the perfect lineup. That will certainly help differentiate yourself from your competition.
This week's lineup consists of ridiculous hitters with questionable pitching. That's not a bad thing though, because our algorithms value some of the pitchers much more highly than where they're priced at. Take Tyson Ross, for example. Ross will be in a pitcher-friendly park, facing a Giants lineup that's solid, but not spectacular. While we're not prepared for Ross to pitch a complete game shutout, we are ready to say that he's a good value play - he's 16th in cost among all start pitchers on Fantasy Feud, and we like him as the fifth-best pitching option tonight given the site's scoring. There's some serious equity there. Ross is strikeout-capable given his 8.31 K/9 this year and 8.57 rate last season, and pitched to a 2.03 ERA and .258 wOBA against at home a season ago.
The same could be said for Drew Smyly, who's one of the cheapest pitchers on the site tonight. I suppose it makes sense considering it's Smyly's first start of the season and just the 19th of his career, but if we play the equity game again, Smyly looks like a steal. Our algorithms have him listed as scoring the third-most points at pitcher tonight on Fantasy Feud, making him a ridiculous value considering his cost. In limited time, he has a near 9.00 K/9, and a FIP of 3.12 - he's not a bad arm. Though he's pitching against some powerful Angels bats, his cost makes him a must play.
Sonny Gray is the final pitcher, and the safest option within the lineup. So far on the year, Gray's 2-0 in three starts with a sub-1.00 ERA while striking out a batter every inning. And while he's bound to regress a bit, his FIP and xFIP scores still show an ERA that's below 3.00. Against an Astros lineup that's striking out at a higher rate than any team in the bigs, Gray is one of the best options of the night.
Within the lineup, we have both Miguel Cabrera and Mike Trout, thanks to spending such little money on the number two and three pitchers. While I could talk about how good both of those hitters are, it's pretty obvious why they'd be in any lineup. So instead of listing outrageous numbers, I simply wanted to point out what cheap and cost-effective pitching options can do to the rest of your roster.
It's not just those two superstars who made the cut though. We've got David Ortiz in a nice righty matchup, Shin-Soo Choo coming off a big game for Texas, and Troy Tulowitzki against a dude with 19 career starts. Any of those bats are capable of going nuts in a given night.
On the cheap side, our algorithms picked out Josmil Pinto and Kyle Seager. Pinto hasn't gotten much love on daily sites, despite having a hit in five of his last six games. Over that time, he's hit two home runs and driven in five runs, too. And he's just only 63% of the cost of top catcher Yadier Molina. Obviously make sure he's playing before plugging him in, but if he does, our numbers like him to score more fantasy points than the majority of catching options.
Kyle Seager is projected to score the fifth-most fantasy points at third base tonight, as he faces right-hander Nathan Eovaldi. Though Seager's been mediocre this year, the matchup is a favorable one - Seager hits righties far better than lefties, and naturally, Eovaldi has struggled much more against left-handed batters.

Spiritual Direction
Who of us, on undertaking an important journey, begin by consulting maps and/or guidebooks? In addition we also consult with others who have gone this way before to be sure that we don't miss the things that we want to see because of losing our way or being unsure of which way to turn. The more dangerous the journey the more vital it is to have experienced guides to accompany us along the way. One would never think of climbing Mount Everest without a compliment of Sherpa guides. So, too, when one enters onto the spiritual pathway, a guide can make all the difference.
A spiritual director or spiritual guide is one, who in a one-to-one relationship, listens, with love, the love of the Holy Spirit, to the other (the directee), who shares an account of his or her journey to a fuller life in God. Like prayer, contemplation and meditation, a spiritual guide nourishes the spiritual aspect of being human and allowing one's spirituality to be shared with others.
Spiritual Direction is a precious time when you take time to recognize the presence of the Holy in your everyday life and are helped to contemplate and savour those moments. These graced moments can transform you, body, soul, mind and spirit.
If you are interested in setting up a program for yourself Saint Joseph Renewal Centre now has individuals willing to act as Spiritual Guides.

Anthropologist Robin Dunbar has found that the strongest predictor of a species' brain size—specifically, the size of its neocortex, the outermost layer—is the size of its social group.
We all know that connecting to other humans can have a powerful impact on our emotional wellbeing and even our physiological development and health. Babies gain weight faster, crawl and walk sooner, and sleep more soundly when they have the attention of an affectionate caregiver. When we have loving, engaging relationships in our lives we tend to feel better, and this helps us to manage pain better, makes us less susceptible to illness, and allows us to recover faster when we do get sick.
But believe it or not, socialization actually has an impact on brain performance as well, especially as we age. Studies with lab animals, such as chimps, show that those who are socially active and go out to explore their environment live a significantly longer, healthier mental and physical life than those that "hibernate" or stay at home. Another recent study has shown that individuals in their 60s and 70s who engaged in regular social activity had healthier brain scans than those who didn't. Even 10 minutes of social interaction can help support cognitive performance. And there are other benefits to our minds . . . socializing gives us new ideas and perspectives, broadens our options, and makes us feel less isolated.
You don't need hundreds of friends on Facebook to be connected. One or two good friends can make all the difference. Whether it's sharing a meal, a hobby or a volunteer activity, socializing is a wonderful mirror of how our brain works—forming energetic networks of communication and exchange.
A study demonstrates that prolonged social isolation can lead to a decrease in myelin, an effect implicated in cognitive changes. The study also showed that when social integration occurred, myelin production went back to normal.
Combine brain exercises with socializing, and you have a winning combination. Multiple minds working together can be a lot of fun. Solve a puzzle, play a board game, or join a language class.

I really enjoy creating my own stamps and stencils to use in my art,
I love that it is another layer made from my hand
and that I have repeating elements used in many ways in my work.
I use various different materials to make my stamps,
the owl is carved from a commercial stamp carving block and
the chevrons above were drawn and carved by my 11 yo son
using a giant eraser from the supermarket bought for $2. 50
These stamps were made using layers of craft foam,
these stamps can be made very simply by drawing directly onto the foam with a heavy hand, I do periodically redraw the designs on my growing collection of these stamps as they get filled with paint but they are also very easy to repair in this way and a pack of 100 sheets of craft foam enables you to make a huge amount of stamps. I love using these for printmaking.
Birds are a perennial theme with me and I have loads of bird stamps
they can really make a journal page pop,
using them just with some ink of paint
or using them as a base (I stamp with white gesso)
then painting your bird as elaborately as you desire.

A Reader Asks: [I thought the statement] "The principle of sufficient reason does not apply to God" [...] was true, that it does not, as we cannot explain His origins. [But you] stated that it was false. How is that? Can someone explain this to me?
Ite ad Thomam Replies: The principle of sufficient reason has no exceptions: absolutely EVERYTHING has a reason for its own existence. The reason for the existence of x can be either (a) something else, which is the cause of x, or (b) x itself, in which case x is not its own cause, but merely the reason of its own existence. The latter (b) is the case with God: God is the reason for His own existence. He exists because it is part of his nature to exist (hence He calls himself "I Am Who Am" in Ex. 3:14, and Aquinas calls Him the Ipsum Esse Per Se Subsistens).
Let me illustrate with an example: a rectangular cake has a reason for being rectangular, namely, it was made with a rectangular mold. The mold itself has a reason for being rectangular, namely, it was made with something else that was rectangular. Ultimately, everything rectangular has a reason for being rectangular, and the ultimate reason is that it is modeled on a rectangle. Now, what is the rectangle's reason for being rectangular? The rectangle is rectangular, not because of something else, or because of some cause that makes it rectangular; rather, the rectangle is rectangular simply because it is part of its nature to be so.
In the same way, everything that exists has a reason for its existence; in things other than God, that reason is OUTSIDE of the thing itself. So, I exist because my parents 'made' me, and they were 'made' by their parents, etc. But ultimately we must reach an uncaused cause, God, whose reason for existing is Himself. God exists for the same reason that a rectangle is rectangular.

But I must make it clear in your ear
The Diva has arrived
Out of the ashes I in my ever present phoenix magic
arrive alive and well evolved in this time space continuum
You see the former causation but I am the one
Out the muck of societal cybertrash, world trade/marathon bombings,
obamascare, alien abduction, and American idol worship,
The Diva is here
Eternal soul cloud funking the world from now on
Re-creation is the name of the game
And now that I have your attention let the fun-k begin

LOVE IS MORE POWERFUL THANLove Is More Powerful Than…
By Kathy King
Fortune is captured in the spirit of love because
Love is more powerful than
Brothers grimm igniting explosions of lunacy
The dead can't speak for themselves but the pressure pots blew mindsets wide open
Bomb victims like angels headlining in the staged show of life
Showed up by the thousands running towards destiny
We all see the tyranny, the misdirection, the hate
OMG love turned it around
Can we see the love it ignited?
Do you see the hearts it opened?
The prayers that flowed because love is more powerful than
One sick evil deed done over in ten different ways
Love created more than 3 million healing responses for Boston, 911, Kansas City,
Runners, conspirators, amputees, and wanna be terrorists, the dead rise up and say to us
Love is more powerful than
The split second after they blasted our lives
Don't they know -Love is more powerful than any bomb or gun
Love is more powerful than bullet proof armor and automatic weapons
More powerful than earthquakes, tsunamis, nuclear disarmament and gmo crops
Stop and think about it, about what love creates
The meek have inherited the earth in this Aquarian age state
What shall we do with it- what shall we do?
As the governments fall, evading corps and the good old oily boys
Playing GI Joe in Afghanistan, Chi-Raq , Sudan
Love is more powerful than …
ANYTHING because
LOVE IS...undefined

Beauty review - Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus
3 comments:
- Coulda shoulda woulda said...
Funny I have freckles so I tried this and the other spot remover from their range and nothing. zilch. if anything it made my skin so dry!! I have to be frank and it has put me off clinique. the only product i like from them is moisture surge other than that it just does nothing for my skin...I say try a proper dermatological brand or go for the real laser!

Glad I didn't rush out and buy the mag! I find that most creams don't actually make any difference to your skin despite the claims these companies make x

- Chinwags and Tittle-Tattles said...
Agree with you--don't like it that companies make out that there's something wrong with ageing (and to call it anti is so nega that consumers actually feel very bad about the natural process!). Like you, I just wanna look good for my age. I've given up on Clinique a long time ago. I'm sure it works for other women, but definitely not for me x

For eight minutes of hockey Thursday afternoon, Finland stood up well to the United States in their final pool-play game of the Winter Olympics, even with a 9-8 edge over the Americans in shots on goal.
Then, suddenly Julie Chu redirected a shot by Angela Ruggiero past Finn goaltender Noora Raty, giving the U.S. a 1-0 lead. That woke up the crowd of about 5,000 inside the University of British Columbia's Thunderbird Arena. And, suddenly, the Americans were in total control, cruising onward to a 6-0 victory helped by a strong performance in the nets by Jessie Vetter.
Goals from Molly Engstrom, Meghan Duggan and Natalie Darwitz built a 4-0 lead at the first intermission with a 20-9 edge in shots. Finland didn't collapse, but the U.S. women added one goal each in the final two periods. Vetter made 23 saves, several spectacular, topped by denying a penalty shot after a U.S. penalty on a breakaway.
"This was more of a hockey game," Engstrom said afterward, looking back on earlier blowout wins against China and Russia. "And it's a good thing, because we need to be more on our toes from now on."
So the U.S. continues its streak of never losing an Olympic pool-play game, setting the same semifinal matchups as in 2006: Canada vs. Finland and the U.S. vs. Sweden. That turned into a disaster for Team USA, as Swede goalie Kim Martin shut down the Americans at the end of a 3-2 shootout upset.
The semifinals will be Monday, with the gold-medal game next Thursday.

BBC3 Documentary Explores Domestic Violence Prevention Work Being Done In London
So much of the work done around Domestic Violence is reactionary, and we are very excited that BBC3 has recognised the importance of prevention work
On Thursday, 26th June at 9 pm the BBC3 will air, Stacey Dooley: The Truth About Domestic Violence. The film looks at many facets of Domestic Violence in the UK, but features the work of Tender Education & Arts in the hour long show.
The production team got in touch with Tender in order to film one of their Healthy Relationships sessions in action. Tender runs sessions in schools, PRUs, and Youth Centres around the country in an effort to educate young people about healthy and unhealthy relationships. It is Tender's belief that engaging in sessions that teach about the early warning signs of abuse, challenge victim blaming, promote positive relationships, and call excuses for violence into question, may in fact work as Domestic Violence prevention.
So much of the work done around Domestic Violence is reactionary, and we are very excited that the BBC3 and Mentorn Media have recognised the importance of the preventative work Tender does in and out of schools. Education is key to changing the numbers that we see everyday. 2 women a week are killed by a partner or ex-partner, and Tender is working to change that.
For more information on the work that Tender does please contact [email protected]

Lisa Jonasson, Man's Inner in Average
25 January–29 April 2012
Lisa Jonasson transforms colored paper into figures with scissors. It is both intuitive and meticulous work that takes place at her studio table and later develops into large collages. The figures, equal parts human, animal, and fantasy, can be said to form states of mind and provoke thoughts connected to what it is to be human today. There are glimpses in the titles of these pieces of everyday phenomena: career stress, fixation with appearance, and ideas about perfect parenting.

So as a new member to LumberJocks I'd thought I'd start out my saying a few words about my current project.
I've only been doing this for a couple of years now, have limited room to work in (essentially a corner workbench in our basement) and only have "the basics" as far as tools go, such as a circular saw, jigsaw, orbital sander and a couple of power drills.
My last "big" project was a fairly simple patio table set with chairs & bench, which came out OK but had some mistakes that are pretty visible and can't be fixed without pretty much trashing it and starting over, so I'm hoping this farm table project I'm working on now will come out a bit nicer as it is planned to be the centerpiece of our dining room.
The plans for the table I'm working on are here: http://ana-white.com/2012/06/plans/fancy-x-farmhouse-table – it's a simple enough design but I still think it looks great especially with the dark finish (I'm building mine out of pine and then plan to use a dark gel stain on it).
The main challenges I've run into so far are mostly around those angled boards on the support pedastals – there are 16 cuts that have to be cut right at 45deg, that cut has to be prefectly straight or else it leaves nasty gaps, and the board lengths after the cuts all have to be perfectly straight or else the pedals won't come out level. This has been, to say the least, not fun trying to do with a circular saw. Sure, you can able the blade at 45deg, but it's hard to get a perfectly straight cut with even when holding it against a guide, the angle tends to be off or be warped becasue it's hard to keep it perfectly level for the entire cut, and it seems to want to keep seizing up near the end of the cut for some reason, sometimes forcing me to finish the cut using a hand saw.
I've gotten it to a point where I've decided it's "good enough" and am hoping that a mix of some wood filler and the dark color it will be stained at the end will help mask the places where I messed up.
I now need to cut & attach those cross-member bars that connect the pedastals together, and then assemble the table top. So far I'm liking how this one is coming together, but even a project as seemingly simple as this one has been a learning experience.

Jammu and Kashmir
Srinagar: Students of All J&K Pasmanda Tabka Development Welfare Society launched a protest march Thursday here at press colony Srinagar alleging that the institution had "cheated" them.
The students carried placards and shouted slogans against the concerned authorities.
Students alleged that they had been enrolled for 18-month course of Female Multi-Purpose Health Worker (FMPHW) but now the college issued them degrees of Multi-Care Health (MCH).
"We came here to be trained as FMPHW but they are giving us MCH degrees that won't help us get employment anywhere," said one of the protesters.
The protestors threatened to intensity the agitation if the authorities did not issue them "valid" degrees.
"This degree is fake," said another protester. "This is injustice to us."

State judiciary requests 2.5 percent budget hike
Legislators are asked for $1.8 billion, which exceeds Cuomo's limit
New York's top court administrator asked lawmakers on Wednesday for extra money to fund civil legal services and to keep courtrooms open longer.
The request of $1.8 billion to support statewide court operations from Chief Administrative Judge Gail Prudenti represents a 2.5 percent year-to-year increase — more than Gov. Andrew Cuomo's overall 2 percent limit on spending growth for state agencies.
In addition to keeping many courthouses open an extra half-hour to 5 p.m., Prudenti told legislators at a budget hearing that the increased funding would cover criminal defense costs for the poor and mandated salary increases for non-judicial employees. Prudenti said the money also would help the system avoid layoffs.
Prudenti's proposed budget provides an increase of $15 million to fund civil legal services for plaintiffs who appear without counsel in cases of eviction, domestic violence and consumer debt.
In Cuomo' budget proposal last month, the governor said that by requesting an increase over 2 percent, "the Judiciary is out of step with our fiscally responsible goal for all of New York state government."
But Prudenti said that the court system is operating on a minimal budget and could benefit from some of the $613 million the state is receiving from the JP Morgan mortgage subprime mortgage settlement, citing the state courts' work on an increasing number of foreclosure filings. Prudenti said she has been in contact with Attorney General's Eric Schneiderman's office about getting some of the money from the JP Morgan settlement.
Lawmakers are examining Cuomo's proposed $137.2 billion budget for the state fiscal year starting in April.

Corvette Forum Saves a German Shepherd Puppy
Amid all the gasoline-powered discussion happening on CorvetteForum, something amazing has happened. Typically, forum members get together to show off their Corvettes and socialize, but over this past holiday season, a group of CorvetteForum members got together to save the life of a German shepherd named Shiloh.
On Nov. 30, 2013 CF member "99C5Vert" posted this photo and call-to-action in the Off-Topic section of our forum:
"I'm looking into rescuing a seven-month-old German shepherd from being euthanized. The only problem is I'm in Virginia, and she's in Texas. Is anyone traveling from Dallas toward Virginia later this week? I could certainly use the help. Please post here if you can help. Thanks."
99C5Vert said someone brought Shiloh to the kennel because she was larger than expected. 99C5Vert's post resonated with many on the forum — the reply posts flooded in with transportation suggestions and volunteers willing to lend a helping hand.
Over the course of a few days, the logistics were finalized, and by Dec. 4, 2013, forum members "Liz", "FEDX", "yamahajo" and "bikerjim2000" were ready to form a doggie rescue relay halfway across the United States to get Shiloh to her new, loving home in Virginia.
Other members like "Aerovette" marveled at the immense outpouring of love on the forum:
"What an awesome bunch of people. You have my utmost respect. What's the lesson? Working together, anything can be accomplished. Good luck with the sweet doggie."
The following are images snapped by participating members along different legs of the journey:
"99C5Vert: FEDX just picked her up from Liz. Here she is at the rendezvous point in Little Rock."
"Another pic in Little Rock."
"At Memphis"
"FEDX: From the road."
"yamahajo: So well-behaved in the car — I'm glad FEDX gave me the heads-up that she likes seat belts, as I saw her going after mine a time or two, and I did warn BikerJim! I brought a squeaky elephant from my pup's toy bin and she loves it, so it's traveling with her the rest of the way now. My pups will never know it's gone — they have too many toys as it is."
"And for good measure, a driving selfie with little miss well-behaved."
"99C5Vert: Jodi (yamahajo) handing off to Jim (bikerjim2000) for the last leg before she meets Gail."
By Dec. 5, Shiloh was home.
"99C5Vert: She's home! Obligatory blurry pic."
Here's a Facebook video link to Shiloh's first moments of celebratory play at her new home.
"99C5Vert: She certainly plays hard, and then passes out."
A few days later, paul 74 asked, "It's been a couple of days since she arrived at her new home. How is she fitting in?"
99C5Vert said, "She's doing great. A bit of potty training still needed, but the important stuff is all good. Super friendly to people, plays nice with our dog, and has clearly not seen snow before."
Here's a Dropbox video link to Shiloh playing in snow.
Aerovette chimed in again to give some more praise:
"I have told so many people about this thread. One of the best things I have seen happen. I tend to be jaded and cynical, but it is actions like this that give me a breath of fresh air and some renewed faith in people."
Join the discussion about this heartwarming story in our forum.

The developer of the Miramar Beach Resort & Bungalows in Montecito says it is ready to move forward with revamped plans, with an opening expected in summer 2017.
A new concept for the hotel to be built on nearly 16 acres overlooking Miramar Beach and the Pacific Ocean was revealed last week by Caruso Affiliated, the privately held real estate company taking on the project.
Plans highlight a scaled-back design, building 170 guest rooms instead of 186, including 27 oceanfront rooms and suites, and a freestanding presidential suite.
Caruso Affiliated purchased the property in 2007, and has been working since then to demolish the existing hotel and begin building a new one — currently a to-be-determined timeframe based on how quickly approvals come back.
The company would not disclose project costs, but previous reports indicated Caruso Affiliated was trying to raise $170 million in financing.
"With respect to financing, the markets to finance new construction of hotels have improved dramatically in the past nine months, and we are confident that we'll be able to finance this new plan at the appropriate time once it's approved," said Matt Middlebrook, the firm's executive vice president of development.
Caruso Affiliated founder and CEO Rick Caruso echoed that optimism in a statement, although he is no longer pursuing a tax rebate program with Santa Barbara County that he sought as recently as last year.
The county-approved Hotel Incentive Program is supposed to allow new hotels with a value of $50 million or more to get transient-occupancy-tax rebates, but Caruso was never able to strike a deal with officials over Miramar project terms.
"The real estate and financial markets have steadily improved, and we have remained committed to this project throughout one of the most challenging economic times imagined," Caruso said. "We are thrilled to be working with renowned Santa Barbara architect Marc Appleton, and his more intimate design will tie characteristics of the old Miramar with a new paradigm for hospitality.
"As we embark on the next phase of this project, we are confident that we will be able to build a resort that will not only echo the great heritage of The Miramar, but also one that Montecitans will be proud to call their own."
The original Miramar Beach Hotel was established in the late 1880s as one of the first beachside hotels in California, but has remained vacant since 2000.
Caruso's new design adds an oceanfront restaurant and a tweaked Miramar Club to the property, which will boast meandering pedestrian walkways, an "intimate" garden, and 68 new public parking spaces along Jameson and Eucalyptus lanes.
The luxury resort's main building will feature a lobby, bar/lounge, ballroom/meeting rooms, and premier ocean- and mountain-view suites on the second level.
A casual all-day-dining poolside restaurant and spa and fitness center will become more accessible to guests there as well.
The architect also dreamed up a lawn leading from the main building to the ocean for weddings or other special events held on the nearby beach.

The butter chicken was perfect, smoky and with the heat this dish needs to stop it being cloying. The lamb also had some heat, along with plenty of meat, slightly chewy but very tasty, and loads of onion, and a thick gravy. The roti were light and flaky, not at all like the doughy indigestion makers I have had at far too many Indian establishments. The yoghurt cooled things off beautifully, and I was one happy camper. If you are hungry in the CBD, I recommend a trip to Happy Land, you will be.
Today's lunch was a walnut & cheese salad, fresh pineapple and blueberries, and Crunchy Lemon Muffins, courtesy of Alison Holst. Mmmmmmm! I came by this recipe in the Treasury of New Zealand Baking I received from Mr Sweet Tooth for Valentine's Day……no ulterior motive there obviously. It is a compilation of great baking recipes, to raise money for Breast cancer, an excellent book for an excellent cause.
Alison Holst's Crunchy Lemon Muffins
For 12 regular muffins or 24 mini-muffins:
Turn the oven to 200 C with a rack in the middle of the oven
Mix together in a bowl, big enough to hold all the ingredients
2 cups self-raising flour (or if you are like me and don't have any, 2 cups plain flour & 2 tsp baking powder)
3/4 cup sugar
Measure the next four ingredients into a small bowl, then mix them together.
75g butter, melted (or 50g butter + 2 Tbsp canola oil, or 5 Tbsp oil)
1 cup milk
1 egg,
grated rind of 2 lemons or 1 lemon and 1 other citrus fruit.
Tip the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold them together, preferably with a metal spoon. Mix just until the flour is dampened but NOT until the mixture is smooth. For some reason I struggle with this, and ALWAYS go a tad too far. As you can see from the picture, they peaked like Vesuvius; this is not what you are aiming for (still tasted good though)
Using two spoons, put spoons of mixture into 12 regular muffin pans or 24 mini-muffin pans coated with non-stick spray or rubbed with soft butter.
Bake for about 10 minutes, until lightly browned. While muffins cook, put about 1/4 cup lemon juice (or lemon and other juice) in a small bowl with a 1/4 cup of sugar
When the muffins come out of the oven, brush with the sugar/lemon juice mixture, so it forms a tangy wee crust on top, use all the juice sugar mix, then leave for a few minutes before taking out of the tins.
Supper this week has again been an eclectic affair. I made the fabulous Tofu Balls, courtesy of Laura (actually Laura's Nana) at the wonderful Hungry and Frozen blog, check it out http://www.hungryandfrozen.blogspot.com/ They were utterly savoury and delish, we ate as many as we could manage(they are quite filling) with a spicy sesame sauce , cold soba noodles and broccoli. If you know anyone who is Tofu-phobic this could be a breakthrough recipe….
Back on the meat front last night was a Sri Lankan Chicken Curry, made with the roasted curry powder I made a couple of weeks ago. It is a Rick Stein recipe, I will post it up tonight, the ingredient list looks long, but the method itself involves nothing more taxing than a bit of toasting in a dry pan, and a wizz in a coffee grinder. I keep my little pottles in a large tupperware for ease of access, once you have your curry powder or paste made up, a good curry is really not very labour intensive, and just so good to eat! It also made a fab lunch today, although I am guessing the food police will be paying me a visit shortly, the office does have a faint 'Delhi market on a warm day" aroma to it, a small price to pay surely……?

Massimo Cellino's disqualification as owner of Leeds has been delayed until the end of his appeal, scheduled for January 15.
The League announced yesterday (Dec 23) that Cellino's appeal hearing would be staged next month and confirmed that it had agreed to postpone punishment of him until after a verdict was returned.
The governing body will allow Cellino to remain as a Leeds director while his appeal is being considered by its Professional Conduct Committee (PCC), despite initially ordering him to resign before the end of this month.
Cellino was disqualified from owning United on December 1 due to a tax conviction imposed on him by a court in Cagliari.
The 58-year-old is challenging the decision but the Football League informed him at the outset that he was required to quit the board at Elland Road within 28 days, a deadline which fell on Monday of next week. Cellino was due to regain control of Leeds on March 18, 2015, the date on which his conviction for tax evasion is spent under UK law. In a statement issued yesterday, the Football League said: "The original decision required Mr Cellino to resign as a director of Leeds United and cease acting as a 'relevant person' in line with Football League regulations by December 29. The League has agreed to defer that deadline until two days after the handing down of the final decision of the PCC. As a consequence, the parties have agreed that if Mr Cellino is unsuccessful in his appeal, any disqualification period will be extended by an amount equivalent to the length of time between December 29 and the deferred deadline."
Cellino admitted a fortnight ago that he was prepared to quit on December 29, telling United's directors that we would stand down to prevent the club facing further sanctions from the League. "I don't want to bring any problems on the club so if I have to resign in 28 days and then wait to finish my appeal, I will," Cellino said. "I'm fighting this and we think we will win so after the appeal I will be back."
The delay will allow Cellino to actively control Leeds throughout the January transfer window, with a verdict from his appeal expected to arrive up to three weeks after the hearing.
Neither Cellino nor United have outlined a contingency plan for managing the club if he is forced to step away. The League, meanwhile, has made no comment on whether it expects Cellino to attempt to sell his and Eleonora Sport Ltd's 75 per cent stake in United should his disqualification stand.
Cellino's legal representatives want his appeal to be heard by a three-man PCC panel made up of two Football League directors and an independent barrister.
The Football League has confirmed that the committee will again be chaired Tim Kerr QC, the man who overturned a bid by the League to block Cellino's takeover of Leeds in March. The appeal is likely to be heard in a single day.

West Nile fever is an illness caused by a virus. The virus is spread
by mosquito bites. It often causes mild, flu-like symptoms. In rare cases, it can cause
life-threatening illness of the brain and lining covering the brain and spinal cord.
The illness is caused by West Nile virus. The West Nile virus belongs to a group of viruses known as flaviviruses. These viruses are commonly found in Africa, West Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Middle East. Flaviviruses are spread by insects, most often mosquitoes. Other examples of flaviviruses include yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, dengue virus, and St. Louis encephalitis virus. West Nile virus is closely related to the St. Louis encephalitis virus.
The West Nile virus can infect humans, birds, mosquitoes, horses, and some other mammals. In 1999, the virus occurred in the Western hemisphere for the first time. The first cases were reported in New York City. Since then, West Nile virus has been considered an emerging infectious disease in the U.S. It has spread down the East Coast and to many Southern and Midwestern states. It has been discovered in 48 states in the U.S.
West Nile virus is spread to humans through the bite of an infected female mosquito. The mosquitoes get the virus by biting infected birds. Crows and jays are the most common birds with the virus. But at least 110 other bird species also have been shown to have the virus.
West Nile fever can occur in late
summer and early fall in temperate climates. It can occur year-round in warmer
climates. People are most at risk of infection from June to September. But West Nile
fever in people is uncommon.
West Nile virus isn't often spread
from person to person. But it can be spread in the uterus from mother to baby. The most
common way it is spread is by mosquito bite. But some people may get the virus through
donated organs and blood transfusion. The FDA notes that the risk for West Nile from
blood is much lower than the risks of skipping a needed organ transplant or blood
Only about 1 in 5 people who are
infected with the virus will develop West Nile fever. Most children with West Nile fever
have only mild, flu-like symptoms that last a few days. Symptoms often appear in 3 to 14
days of infection. The most common symptoms include:
In rare cases, the virus can affect
the brain and lead to:
These conditions can cause symptoms such as:
The symptoms of West Nile fever can
seem like other health conditions. Make sure your child sees their healthcare provider
for a diagnosis.
The healthcare provider will ask about your child's symptoms and health history. He or she will give your child a physical exam. Your child may also have tests to check for signs of the virus. These include:
There is no treatment for West Nile
fever. If your child develops West Nile encephalitis or meningitis, they may be treated
in the hospital. They may need:
In rare cases, the virus can affect the brain and lead to:
No vaccine is available to prevent West Nile fever. But you can help prevent the spread of the virus by protecting against mosquito bites. The CDC recommends the following steps to prevent mosquito bites:
Tips for safely applying insect repellent include:
According to the CDC, repellents
with a higher concentration of active ingredient such as DEET give longer-lasting

Two Massachusetts politicians — Gov. Deval Patrick and former Gov. Mitt Romney — are being counted on to create a buzz at national political conventions over the next two weeks.
Two Massachusetts politicians — Gov. Deval Patrick and former Gov. Mitt Romney — are being counted on to create a buzz at national political conventions over the next two weeks.
Patrick, not quite halfway through his four-year term as governor, is scheduled to address the Democratic National Convention in Denver Tuesday night. A sizzling speech could elevate Patrick's national profile much the same as a young Illinois senator named Barack Obama raised his own with the keynote 2004 convention speech.
Romney, who served one term as governor, is on the list of those being considered by John McCain to be his running mate. Romney is scheduled to speak Wednesday, Sept. 3, the second-to-last night of the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn.
For Romney, who could join a McCain administration or return as a presidential candidate in 2012, the stakes couldn't be higher.
But Patrick, too, could make a splash. He insists he plans on running for re-election for governor in 2010, but a well-received speech could intensify speculation he would eventually leave to join an Obama administration.
Patrick is one of a number of Democratic governors speaking that night, so his speech won't carry anywhere near the weight of a keynote address like Obama's in 2004. But his friendship with Obama means he may be watched more closely than most governors at the convention.
Patrick and Obama have studied each other, sharing many of the same campaign themes and even slogans. Patrick, who campaigned for Obama in New Hampshire, Iowa and South Carolina, is speaking on a night called "Renewing America's Promise."
"I think it will raise his profile because the optimistic message is so similar, in the way the campaigns have been run," said Rep. William Straus, a Mattapoisett Democrat who will serve on the Credentials Committee at the convention.
Michael Goldman, a Democratic political consultant with the Government Insight Group, said Patrick goes into the convention as a "virtual unknown nationally," but he will be viewed as an Obama surrogate on Tuesday night.
"In Deval's case, he is certainly perceived by the national media as someone who has a voice similar to Barack Obama's voice," Goldman said. "What he says to the convention, the things he chooses to talk about, are going to be perceived to be precursors to where Obama intends to run this campaign, what their issues are."
Steve Crawford, a spokesman for Patrick's political committee, said the governor has been asked to speak on the economy.
"The governor is honored to play a part in this important convention," Crawford said. "He sees this convention and the outcome of the election as being critically important to Massachusetts as we try to chart a new direction for our country."
Conventions have at least two audiences — the hard-core party faithful on the floor and the casual observer watching on TV in the living room.
Jeffrey Berry, a political science professor at Tufts University, said Patrick's speaking role "is a plum, but a minor plum."
"It's a speech that political junkies will watch, and not many other people, but it is a recognition of his standing in the party," he said.
Berry didn't see a successful speech leading to an early Patrick exit.
"I don't think it's a sign of anything really," Berry said. "It's unlikely he would go for anything less than a cabinet position, and there are a pretty limited number of those. It would not be a rebuke to Patrick in any way if he's not offered a cabinet position. It's not like his career is riding on this. He's only been governor for two years. It would seem to be an incomplete governorship if he left in January."
Berry sees Romney playing the role of "good soldier" for the Republican Party, a trend that will continue at the convention. Romney has been campaigning for McCain and criticizing Obama from the stump.
Goldman didn't see Romney acting as a surrogate for McCain, given their tumultuous fight in the Republican primaries. He saw Romney conveying a message of "whatever our differences, let's get together."
Rep. Jeffrey Davis Perry, R-Sandwich, a Romney delegate at the national convention, hoped Romney would be the vice presidential nominee. He said Romney would strengthen the ticket on the economy, politically, in crucial states like Michigan, and in fundraising.
"On the economy, which is on the minds of so many voters, Mitt Romney is the guy," Perry said. "He's run a state as an executive. He's run the Olympics during some extremely challenging financial times and he's been successful in business."
Romney could also be considered for a cabinet post like secretary of commerce.
"Even if he is not the vice president, I still think he's got a place in the administration if he wants it," Perry said.

I stopped updating. The entire time I told myself that I would write again, only when I was ready and not before. I was ready many times, but I could not force myself to sit at the computer and write. Just write. Just close my eyes, think of my day, open my eyes and type for all that it was worth. I use to find that so therapeutic.
Then I relapsed. Then I relapsed again and ended up in the hospital.
Then I had the two positive drug tests and I felt ashamed. Ashamed not because there was drug use in my system, but because I wasn't just destroying my life, I was also taking my best friend down with me, and he was the one who provided the drugs. I forced him to provide the drugs. I belittled him when he asked me why. I told him that I had a back ache or that I had a knee pain and all that could settle my storm. This was someone who loved me and was taking care of me, or so he thought, and here I was, verbally abusing him and running him into the ground.
That wasn't me.
Taking a look around the hospital ER room after an IV full of benedryl, fluids and an antidote, I was coherent again and able to take in my surroundings. My friend was sitting in a chair, in the corner of the room, looking scared. I quietly asked what happened and he said I was "rolling" for three days. On the third day, or that night, I started begging for help. I had not been eating. I had only taken one dose. Then I started seeing stars inside and floating. This went on for three days, and he had to call in to work, and he had to deal with my husband coming by asking for me. He thought he was doing me a favour by keeping me hidden from friends and family because they shouldn't see me like that.
And I shouldn't be remembered like that.
Remembered? The next seven words made my hair stand up on the back of my neck: "I thought you were going to die."
Two days later I walked out of the hospital with him, holding hands.
I made some affirmations right then and there. No more drugs. No more asking for them. No more brow-beating one of the truly few friends that I have for drugs. No more. No more. No more. No more pushing others to do drugs with me. I didn't pick up a Bible and become religious in that time frame, but I became more spiritual. I scared someone who loved me dearly, and I should not have done that. On the long, silent drive home, he said that I knew I was dying. That he could not sleep because I might stop breathing and he didn't know CPR.
So I asked, "What now?" he shrugged. Sitting outside my house with a small overnight bag on my lap, I leaned over and hugged him. I held him in my arms. Our silent tears were all that we needed to realise just how real this all was.
I slowly went back on my prescriptions. For a day or so, I was too afraid to take anything, thinking it was an over dose of one of my prescriptions. I basked in the warmth of my daughter and sons showering me with "Yay! Mommy is home!" and my husband's look of relief before asking where I was. I promised to tell him when the time was right. I sat down and did glitter crafts with my boys and little girl. I diapered dolls with my little girl. I wore a pink gem stoned tiara and dressed up as the queen and the boys were my little princes. I got out my old pins and mounted them on a framed cork board with my husband. I wrote in the journal that sits on the night stand. I watched TV endlessly with him. I played video games with the boys. I played Nintendogs with Chloe. I returned all the phone calls that I had been thinking about getting back to. I bought my mother scented candles and Godiva chocolates. I bought my father a stuffed rabbit with chocolates. I told my parents that I appreciate them. I wore the hoop-diamond-drop earrings that my Nick bought me for Christmas on my 18th Christmas. I put on the simple silver ring for my wedding band. I took nothing for granted anymore. I ordered a new journal and some stickers with Chloe and we have been making little scenes in the pages of my journal.
I take nothing for granted now that I know it can all be taken away from me so quickly. I never would have known my life was ending.
The next part I did Sunday evening. I went to my friend's work and watched him take drinks to several of the tables, back a fourth. He didn't even see me there. Shame that he was working on that day. I ordered a glass of merlot and waited. When he delivered it to me, I stood and held out my arms to him. We were instantly pulled together in a tight embrace. I whispered in his ear that I loved him and thanked him for being there, for letting me live another day. When the hugging was over, I asked what was in that final pill. I specifically said nothing harder than a barb. He said he wasn't sure, he'd gotten it from the john that was always asking for me. I sighed and told him that we could still be friends, in fact, I had made him a cake that he needed to come over and celebrate with me with after his shift. He gave me a wide-eyed look. "You know what..." he began. I nodded. "I know it's your birthday. Happy twenty-fifth! Come by after your shift for cake and ice cream!" I replied. His face immediately brightened.
I celebrated my friend's birthday with him, just the two of us, just as he had envisioned it. I'm not going to lose a friend because of an accident. I apologised to him for all that I had done, and I hoped that he would forgive me. He says he has. We should go on an adventure. We will. Just not this week, or the next. I need to rest up.
It's good to be alive.

We did it, we survived.
Resorts are closing and it's time to put the jumps and rails away in that old shed where they keep the moguls. Competition season is done, and for a small bit of time we can escape words like training, Olympics, and amplitude. We survived the Olympics, and save for a few blown knees and blown medal dreams the sport of skiing didn't implode, and the man didn't steal our souls.
A look back, years down the road, may see this as a historic year, a catalyst for change, progression or regression, but for now all we can do is sit back and let history tell that tale.
A beautiful day in Whistler
With a completely unspectacular day up at Whistler, we put an end to the comp season. A quick morning saw mens qualifiers, as the field was to be narrowed down to 10 finalists. Then, the fog rolled in deep and heavy early in the day, providing terrible visibility on the whole course. After a lengthy delay, and much bitching from the tired folks involved on every level, media to judges, the official tried to get the comp going again.
The women, who hadn't skied all weekend, were the first priority, and with only 10 of them, it wasn't all that difficult to fit in their two runs during breaks in the fog.
Did I mention the fog?
However, after hours of waiting for the weather to clear, the comp was called, and the results from semifinals were used to tabulate winners.

A new series of Intelligence Squared debates kicks off this week and, by the beard of Darwin, you won't find a more impressive bunch of speakers this side of the School of Athens.
On 9 March, there's a rare chance to catch the man who co-discovered of the structure of DNA, James Watson. The ageing scientist caused uproar when last he toured these shores thanks to his outspoken views on race.
