The history of Radhanpur mission is something unique. When India and Pakistan became independent, the tribe called "Majiranas" left Pakistan for India. One group of the Majiranas, who reached India, were settled by the then Indian Government in Deesa and Radhanpur talukas of North Gujarat. They were given uncultivable lands – stretches of unwanted sand dunes – to be their home. Many of these refugees were Catholics, baptised by Dutch Franciscan Missionaries in Nawabshah (now Sind-Pakistan). They searched in vain for a Catholic Church. The nearest one at that time was at Ahmedabad, over 150 kms away. For 30 years this small flock survived on prayer, led by their leader, catechist Joseph. In 1971, a chance meeting between a Railway Officer Mr. William Roxburgh and Josephbhai, led to the discovery of this lost Catholic community. Fr. Diaz Garriz, SJ from Kalol made the initial contacts which led to the establishment of Deesa Mission and then the Radhanpur mission. Fr. Thomas Kolady and Fr. Felix Gonsalves were appointed to Deesa which included the villages around Radhanpur. The mission at Radhanpur was taken up in full earnest when Fr. Felix Gonsalves was appointed the first Parish Priest of Catholic Ashram, Radhanpur, in June 1986. Around the same time, the Daughters of the Cross joined the Mission and started their community in Radhanpur.
The Parish began a boarding for boys and the Sisters for the girls. The children initially attended other primary schools in Radhanpur town. St. Xavier's Primary School from Std. 5 to 7 was started in 1995. It was a joint venture with the Convent providing the building and a Sister to be on the teaching staff; whereas the Parish accepted the management, maintenance and day-to-day running of the school. In June 2000 Fr. Antony Moonnupeedikail took over as PP for two years. Then in July 2002 Fr. Prasad Gonsalves began std. 1-4 in June 2003. His dream was to make St. Xavier's a full-fledged school from Std. I to Std. X. The high school section was begun in 2004 and Fr. Joseph Arockiam was its first Principal.
Radhanpur mission has every potential to mushroom into a vibrant mission. The mission was born as an 'exodus' community and has learnt to survive and will survive opposition and persecution. There are 100 members in the community.

The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Best modern fiction I've read in a long time.
The author is a Calvin College English professor.
The plot involves a 7th grader who has to spend an hour alone with his teacher during the 60s (Vietnam War features prominently). She teaches him Shakespeare, and he loves it. It becomes part of his vocabulary and thought process in interesting ways. He realizes his teacher is a person with her own griefs and troubles. She helps him in personal ways, and he returns the favor.
The writing is excellent word-craft. Strings you thought dropped reappear several chapters later. The frustrations of a typical Junior Higher come alive. He masterfully weaves Shakespearean themes and quotes with early adolescent troubles. You're giddy laughing one minute and near tears the next.
Themes include dealing with flawed parents, reconciling with friends after reckless words, runaway teenagers, racial prejudice, war in the news and casualties that hit home, and more. It has a Forest Gump feel for a while – deaths of Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Paul McCartney, etc.
Read this book out loud to your 11-14 year olds, especially after taking them through some Shakespeare.

I drive a 2002 Toyota 4-runner. Recently was driving it uphill and my friend suggested I put it into 2nd to gain more power. I know nothing about cars for the record. Driving at about 65 in 2nd there was an audible pop, oil pressure light came on, sounded like a broken belt slapping something, engine lost power. Once pulled over white smoke around engine and some back near the muffler. Checked the oil and it was still full but white smoke came out of the dipstick tube. It won't start now. Any ideas?
My car has 174000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
It sounds like you blew a head gasket or broke the timing belt. Over revving the engine in second gear may have caused the timing belt to break. It will not start and this is an interference engine that bends valves when the belt breaks. You most likely will need a motor replacement since new cylinder heads and broken or damaged engine pistons would cost more than a used engine. If you want to have this diagnosed by a professional in person, a technician from YourMechanic can come to your home or office to inspect your car's starting issue.

The digital poster starts with the words, "All his life he fought for his country, this time he will fight for his love". It pans into a wide view of a populated city, and gradually depicts a silhoutte of a well built man with a scarf flying from his neck. Though the face isn't visible, it is easy to guess that it is Salman. He is also seen with a revolver each in his hand.
Ek Tha Tiger will release on 1 June, 2012 in theatres worldwide.

Everybody knows that we've got serious love for Ghana at Afropop lately, so in that spirit let's talk about the new video from a son of Accra, Blitz The Ambassador.
Blitz's records alone are evidence enough that he's one of the coolest cats on the scene right now, but the enigmatic, Terence-Nance-directed short film that shares a name with his 2011 album Native Sun really kicked things up a notch. The movie, released earlier this year, is surreal, challenging, and beautiful, much like The Ambassador's music. Not only did the short film expand Blitz's artistic reach, but it also underlined his strong relationship with Accra.
"Dikembe!", the lead single from the first Blitz release since Native Sun, finds him back in Africa, but this time in Morocco, a touch north from his homeland. The video is pretty flawless. When the organ whips in under that expansive sweep of the Rabat skyline, you know you're in for another high definition a.v. expedition from the master himself. "No, no, no", indeed. The high caliber of Blitz's flow and the stunning visual exploration of Morocco's capital city make the use of Dikembe Mutombo's signature finger wag a no brainer. The beat is rad (y'all hearing that guitar sample?), his flow is smooth and stylish, and the video is both patently him and fresh at the same time. The track's off The Warm Up EP, due out August 6th. We're looking forward to it.

Author: Mark Aitken
Publisher: Allen & Unwin
Release Date: Aug 2011
Pages: 440
Ex-US Marine hero, Gerry Gallen is caught in the middle of a lethal international battle for control of the Arctic's massive oil deposits in a high-octane new thriller guaranteed to get your heart racing - move over Matthew Reilly.
Gerry Gallen is searching for peace after years serving as a captain in the US Marines Special Forces.
But when Gallen agrees to lead a team or former soldiers looking after the personal security of an eccentric oil billionaire, he finds himself catapulted onto a rollercoaster of violence and double-crossing where private intelligence operators and clandestine hit teams are commonplace.
Powerful US and Russian interests are vying for the Arctic's valuable oil fields and it seems they'll stop at nothing to secure control of them, even if it means global catastrophe.
Gallen and his men are faced with a choice between personal safety and saving the world. They can either walk away or go to the Arctic Floor.
Arctic Floor by author Mark Aitken is very reminiscent of a good Clive Cussler novel. The book revolves around Gerry Gallen, a retired Captain from the US forces. Gallen takes a job providing personal security to an eccentric oil billionaire. While expecting a fairly easy assignment, Gallen soon finds that his new employer has enemies a plenty, and they soon start coming for him.
Aitken created a brilliant and believable character in Gallen, kind of like Ludlum's Bourne, but without some of the extravagant episodes that seem to happen. Gallen meets with as much misfortune as Bond, often getting captured and needing to escape or be rescued.
The plot of the story is fast paced and extremely chockers with action and drama. The continental stage for the story is also well written, with the vivid backdrop as engaging as the dialogue and characters.

Let's examine the statistic that's been stick above in order to determine the current position of compact digital, DSLRs, mirrorless camera in the market. If you just take a dim view to the graph then you can easily see that it's compact camera that made a lot more commercial success but in the recent time the above graph indicating that they're losing their status and making a no more profit. However, we Can't say the business of DSL-R is bad they also have given a hard try to keep themselves into this competition and it's mirrorless which are still in a race to achieve the bonanza but they've respectfully managed their business statistic.
Let's find the exact reasons what the strange thing is the cause of their downfall? Obviously, it's smartphone which is smothering the business of the compact digital, D-SLR, mirrorless cameras. Well, it isn't a false statement, for the last couple of years the passion for smartphone among the teenagers to adults is almost dominating over the cameras' market.

Picking Up The Threads
There are even elegant little extras like towel rails and loo roll holders installed . So it was time to rejoin Society . .
Last week I went to an exhibition of late 19th , early 20th century paintings at the Groninger museum ... a sort of Carl Larsson + affair which was rather nice , if not earth shattering .This painting definitely struck a chord !
A spot of shopping and seafood noodles at Wagamama rounded it all off nicely and reminded me just how nice it is to Get Out . Both winter and the move have gone on quite long enough . So much so ,that Friend and I are going to the Collectors' Fair in Utrecht this weekend , having sworn to each other that NOTHING will be bought , however tempting . We'll see ... I've never yet left this event empty-handed .
Oh yes ,and I'm getting to know our new neighbours . The 80 year-old next door apologised if she was keeping us awake at night .... she didn't sleep well herself , she explained ," so always took her boombox to bed with her" .

Perhaps you can find something to compete with the boombox at the flea market - would that be permissible? Surely it would be good to learn a new instrument...

You taunt me with your collectors' fairs. I love Larsson's paintings for their colours and light, nothing wrong with a bit of nice painting!

I couldn't agree more. Getting Out is the remedy for this endless winter which seems just to be turning the corner into spring now. How good that feels. Congratulations on taming an IKEA flat pack of such complexity.

Boombox? Under the bedclothes, I hope.
You gotta love her.
And going to a collector's market and not buying anything isn't really on. all those exhibitors must make a living, you know. You'd be doing a good deed.

Even though the word "boombox" is so 80's, I'm still fairly impressed that an 80 year old woman is hip enough to use it. (The word, not the boombox. That would be RIGHT. OUT.)

Putting Words in the President's Mouth
October 1, 2013 Leave a comment
I am fairly certain President Obama does not need my help writing speeches, but what's the point of having a blog if you can't pretend to put words in other people's mouths, right? In my dream world, I wish President Obama would address the nation with the following:
Good morning my fellow Americans.
It is with some measure of sadness that I announce the United States government has shutdown. While vital and important offices will remain open and our military personnel will be paid, a variety of other offices will close today: 20% of government employees are, technically speaking, out of work today. These are your friends and neighbors. Please consider inviting them to dinner tonight. Help ease their financial burden.
We have reached this impasse because too many Republican's in the House of Representatives have chosen not to negotiate in good faith with their colleagues across the aisle.
We are, quite frankly, in the midst of a direct attack on the fundamental tenets of democracy.
Our country is at risk. When a United States Senator stands for 21 hours and compares the Affordable Care Act to the spread of nazism in Europe, something is amiss.
In 2012, you might remember, America held an election. I was blessed and honored that 61 million Americans voted to endorse my presidency, including the Affordable Care Act.
In the years of my presidency, Republican members of Congress have had ample opportunity to discuss various parts of this signature piece of legislation. During those years, we could have discussed implementation, negotiated individual pieces, and tested various of the mandates for bugs. Most pointedly, we could have discussed those pieces of the legislation that mirror past Republican health-care ideas and we could have worked to establish the free-market exchanges as viable, consumer and business friendly alternatives to our current system. I fully realize that many Americans did not vote for me. I would have happily worked with their Representatives to tweak the ACA.
Instead, my Congressional opponents have diligently worked to defund, obfuscate, and engage in illogical, irrational, and down-right lies regarding our attempts at ensuring all Americans have access to basic health care. If they had worked that hard on the people's business, we might have the greatest health care system in the world.
I fully understand those Americans who have reservations about large government agencies and I respect those people who are philosophically opposed to centralized government entities. It is important that we have a dialogue about the roles and responsibilities of the government. Our founders would want nothing less.
But our founders would also demand that we recognize elections matter. For 6 years, we have watched Republicans ignore the democratic process and threaten the very fabric of our country.
They have not, my fellow Americans, negotiated in good faith. They have, instead, chosen the path of insanity–they perform the same task 40 times and expect a different result. They are not standing on principle. They are stomping on democracy.
We are now faced with the fruits of those labors.
Those few men and women in Congress who so strongly oppose working within the democratic process will tell you that I refuse to negotiate and that I am being unreasonable.
They clearly don't have faith in your ability to understand meaning of "negotiate" and "compromise."
For negotiation and compromise to work, as you all know, both sides must put forth something they value. The men and women then gather around the table and exchange ideas. They argue, they disagree, they consider what's best both for themselves, the people they represent, and for the country at large.
For instance, I am more than willing to meet with the Iranian leadership. We have imposed sanctions on their country. They have, in the past, engaged in behavior we find disturbing and dangerous. As we negotiate, we might reduce sanctions as they change behavior.
I was more than willing to listen to business leaders tell me we needed to delay the business mandate while we worked on the logistics of implementation. We gladly compromised as we seek a workable solution.
That's negotiating.
In our current domestic situation, the Republicans would like me to choose between ending affordable insurance for the 46 million uninsured Americans or shutting down the government.
That's not a choice. For them or for me. I value keeping the government open and insuring Americans. Republican's value ending the Affordable Care Act. We are forced to conclude, then, they do not value keeping the government open. What, I ask then, are they willing to give up in this negotiation? Their idea of compromise, it appears, is that I do exactly what they want.
The Affordable Care Act was passed during a democratic vote, following the Constitutional rules and regulations that form the bedrock of our nation. Time and time again (in fact 40 times) Republicans have followed that same process and failed to rescind or change that vote.
Like a toddler denied a candy bar, Republicans are demanding I give them everything they want or they will hold their breath, scream, and throw a fit. It's a temper-tantrum approach to government.
The federal government is being held hostage because one political party has been hijacked by political ideologues and extremists.
Make no mistake: the United States government is shut down today because Republicans have chosen to take us down this path. They have chosen party platforms and political aspirations over the American people.
In the coming days, we will work tirelessly to manage the fallout from this political stunt. We will maintain those necessary and relevant government agencies and limit, as much as we can, the damage a government shutdown can cause.
The United States government will pay its bills and fulfill its responsibilities.
Those are things, my fellow Americans, that are non-negotiable. Those are the hallmarks of democracy.
Good night and God Bless America.

"The lighting glamorized each drop, the built scenery and the flow of the scene changes. Your timing with mood changes & musical score was excellent. The lighting of the Dallas Christmas Festival was simply the best I have seen in many, many years. In looking at the total production, you managed to tie it together with a very special artistic gift." ~ Peter Wolf, President, Wolf Scenic Inc.

Dating a younger women can extra-exciting for an older guy, and it's accepted as a normal and regular part of dating life for many men. If you're a man 30+, I'll give you some tips and pointers on what not to do when dating a woman 5+ years younger than yourself.
Generally speaking, I'm talking about men between the ages of 30 and 49. Even a guy in his 50s ca follow my advice and happily date a younger woman. As long as the woman is of legal age she's good to go. Here's the mistake list. Proceed carefully with your fresh, young thing
1. Don't try to act younger.
Don't gross her out and dress or act like a 22 year old. Sometimes I see guys in their 30s and even 40s who try to dress, act, and talk like men in their 20s and it's a sorry site indeed. Once in a while they visit clubs or college campuses to find younger women to date, and make jerks out of themselves.
She will like you better when you act your age, and act cool and non-creepy. If you're really good looking, you can overcome the age factor and be very appealing to younger women. Carrying on and acting younger shit isn't necessary.
2. Acting too sexual too fast is creepy.
It doesn't look good on older guys trying to hit up much younger women to get too sexual too fast. If you're much older than her, wait before you start talking about how hot her boobs look or tell her you want her to sleep with you. This is just creepy, and she may be worried about her safety. Instead of coming on too strong, you need to be a confident, safe older guy. Focus more on being more classy and confident.
3. Ignoring or Neglecting Your Personal Appearance
Some older guys think their personal appearance can be ignored, and they will look just like a 25 year old. It's more likely there's hair growing out of their noses and ears and their waistline isn't what it used to be.
Dressing like crap at age 25 is not as much a big deal as it is for an older guy. If you're middle aged, hitting up 21 year-old women, you're going to have to improve your game.
You must take better care of your physical appearance than when you were 25. This includes your body and clothing. Place a higher priority on these things if dating much younger women is something you're interested in.
4. Stop dating older women. Just because you have attracted a younger woman, it doesn't mean that women your age should be overlooked. A woman at any age can be fantastic, and you should keep your options open an expect to date women of all ages. Younger and older is fine, depending on the woman. There is no reason to limit yourself to one or the other.

AZOREAN BIODIVERSITY GROUP (cE3c)
The Azorean Biodiversity Group (cE3c – Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Changes) will open several Post-Doc positions during 2015 and 2016. The number and timing of these positions will depend on the availability of competitive candidates. We are looking for outstanding, highly motivated scientists working on the following research areas:
- "Island Macroecology and Conservation".
In recent projects we have generated some very large and comprehensive biodiversity datasets for many field sites in Azores (projects BALA, EDEN, ISLAND-BIODIV, MOVECLIM, ATLANTISMAR, IMPACTBIO). We aim now to perform a synthesis project to bring together these datasets for combined spatial based analysis. The kinds of questions we are interested in are looking at the effect of global changes on biodiversity and ecosystem services and comparing the importance of different environmental drivers of alpha and beta diversity between trophic levels and at different spatial scales.
The research should contribute to the solution of urgent environmental problems and H2020 challenges. The researchers will work in Azores (Univ. of Azores), to carry out long-term research (36-72 months), and amounts to c. 1650 EUR per month, which includes contribution towards social security and liability insurance. Seed money will be available to facilitate the establishment of these research lines and it is expected that the candidates apply to national and international funds to conduct long-term research within Azorean Biodiversity Group (cE3c).
Candidates profile:
- Excellent doctorate degree, completed preferentially no more than 6 years prior to the application;
- Ability to manage large datasets and have the skills to perform complex ecological modelling using R in a macroecological research framework;
- Compelling independent past scientific achievement and publications in international peer-reviewed journals (quality of key publications specified in the application: applicant's contribution in cases of multiple authorship);
- Potential to obtain a leading position in island research and Macroecology (originality, degree of innovation in key publications);
Knowledge of the Portuguese languages is not mandatory, but it is expected that non-Portuguese applicants learn Portuguese during the duration of the fellowship.
We wish to receive applications that include the candidate CV and one-page concept describing how your past research will fit the above-listed research topics.

I have been browsing the techniques and resources over at Splitcoaststampers and I found the video tutorial for the Flip Flop card. It's such a fun card! It took me a couple of times the get the middle cut out right - partially because I wasn't following directions well, and partially because my cheap trimmer needs replacing.
I love this fold - and will definitely use it again. I also love the combination of Aqua Mist and Hawaiian Shores. This card just really made me smile.

Recently a new system on a chip (SOC) board cross my path that's very interesting:  The 510-459-5892 is a development platform solution for Android, Linux, Arduino⢠and Google ADK 2012.  It combines an iMX6 based system and an Arduino Due board in the same package.  The iMX6 comes in dual and quad variants and has on board Wi-Fi, SATA, 2xUSB,  HDMI, gigabit ethernet, LVDS, RTC and plenty of RAM.
I plan on using Ruby on the iMX6 side to control the Arduino but before that can be done there's some basic setup that needs to be done once it comes out of the box.
Create an SD Card to boot from
- Grab the Ubuntu image from the Udoo downloads page.
- Write the uncompressed image to an SD card using dd.
- (optional)Resize the partition on the SD card to fill it.
Prepare the OS
- Make sure the package manager knows about the most recent packages with:
sudo apt-get update
- Fix the local issues in the base Udoo image
sudo apt-get install language-pack-en-base
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
- Update the installed packages. Â We install totem common first because there's a dependency missing somewhere and the dist-upgrade will fail, forcing you to install it by hand to proceed anyway.
sudo apt-get install totem-common sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
- RVM makes installing Ruby much easier so we'll do a system wide RVM install. Â After this step you'll want to log out and back in:
echo progress-bar >> ~/.curlrc sudo \curl -L /get.rvm.io | bash
- Install Ruby 2.1 (preview 1) so we can benefit from the generational garbage controller. Â The first command will prevent documentation being built / installed for gems. Â Note that we no longer need sudo.
echo "gem:
--no-ri --no-rdoc" >> ~/.gemrc rvm install ruby-2.1.0-preview2
- Now install some useful gems we'll use later.
gem install rake rspec grape eventmachine arduino_firmata factory_girl nokogiri byebug chef ice_cube yajl-ruby gem install pry pry-byebug pry-remote-em pry-coolline pry-stack_explorer pry-exception_explorer pry-em

NEWINGTON — Trader Joe's is coming to the Seacoast.
NEWINGTON — Trader Joe's is coming to the Seacoast.
Officials for the popular chain grocery store announced Monday that they have signed a lease to open a new 14,700-square-foot location at The Crossings at Fox Run on Gosling Road in Newington. Opening is planned for this year.
The local Trader Joe's is expected to offer beer and wine for sale, as well as high quality imported and domestic foods and beverages, officials said in a statement released to the Portsmouth Herald.
"The store will feature a festive decor that mixes traditional Trader Joe's elements, such as cedar covered walls and Hawaiian motifs, combined with a local flair that includes art celebrating the neighborhood," according to the statement.
Officials said that once the store opens, area residents can expect to receive a copy of the Trader Joe's "Fearless Flyer" in their mailboxes. The flier highlights a selection of Trader Joe's products considered worthy of customer interest. It includes comfort foods and items that are organic or have other special attributes.
Examples of what consumers can expect at the local store include freshly baked artisan breads, Arabica bean coffees, international frozen entrees, 100-percent juices, fresh crop nuts, deli items, and vitamins and supplements, as well as the basics, like milk and eggs.
The chain began in 1958 in the Los Angeles area. Since then, Trader Joe's has expanded to more than 365 stores in 31 states.
The company's Web site indicates the only other Trader Joe's slated for New Hampshire will be in Nashua. That location will also open this year, but no specific date has been announced.

Update 1-7-2012
- January 6th, 2012

Thanks for tuning in to the first of hopefully many musings on my life and times in the Halo Community and the gaming industry at large. Hope you enjoy your stay. Don't forget to wait on your tippers.
Closings and Openings
2011 was an incredible year to be a video game fan in general, but an especially amazing time to be a Halo fan. With the year kicking off with the outstanding (in my opinion) first entry into the Greg Bear-penned Forerunner Saga, Cryptum, and continuing on through the announcement of Halo: Anniversary and Halo 4 at E3, HaloFest at PAX Prime, Karen Traviss' Glasslands, and the actual launch of Anniversary on the 10-year mark of the franchise in November…
2012 looks to be no different, with Primordium, book two in the aforementioned Forerunner Saga launching earlier this week. If you haven't gone and gotten it yet, I recommend it. It shakes the foundations of the franchise's already deep fiction, and really sets an intriguing table for our epic embarking into new territories with Halo 4 later this year. Read it before you are spoiled, and preferably before any Halo 4 story details come out (probably via the French). There's plenty more I want to say about Primordium, but I'm going to hold off until more have had a chance to read it, and I'm a bit freer with what I want to say…
Wunicorns and Wainbows
In a related note, the dedication page in Primordium is aimed toward Mr. Bungie.Org himself, Claude Errera. Or as the internet world knows him, "Louis Wu". Or as I know him, "My Master". Or as his wife knows him, "[REDACTED]". Wu's contribution to the Halo Community at large cannot be understated. Especially the large part (have you seen the man?). He has fostered the growth of an incredibly passionate fanbase and helped to highlight some of the most amazing, loving, in creative corners of the community. Halo would be a lesser experience if not for his work, and the work of others he has inspired. I hope he knows how much he is appreciated.
Discussion Time
Speaking of the Halo story, there are some awesome discussions taking place around the HBO and Halo Waypoint forums lately. Keep in mind that these are absolutely spoiler territory for a variety of different pieces of the fiction, so consider yourself warned. Here are a few of my favorites, and if you feel so inclined (and can figure out how to post on HBO), join in the discussion!
- anoton1972′s analysis of the Sangheili Arum (as described in Halo: Glasslands)
- Mid7night's Primordium musings
- Grizzlei's Primordium thoughts via his blog
- Postmortem's questions on visibility in space, in which brilliant minds collaborate to discuss theories and answers
- Avu Med Telcam's thoughts on the "Timeless One" from Cryptum & Primordium
- Stephen "Scale me, baby" Loftus and his thoughts on Homecoming's (from Halo: Legends) fictional astronomical/geographic location
Ducking Hilarious
If you are into great cartoons, and Halo, then you will ABSOLUTELY want to check out HBO's own petetheduck and his hyperamusing spot on the web: http://idleduck.com/ The art is super fun, and the humor always giggle-worthy. If you only have time to do one thing today, tell your loved ones you love them. If you have time for two, then read this website right afterwards.
Best Wishes
I wanted to personally wish Bungie's newest Community Manager (Assistant to the Community Manager?), and longtime Halo fan DeeJ, the absolute best of luck in his new role at Bungie. So far it looks like he's been doing an outstanding job, and I'm sure it will continue as he becomes a deeper part of Bungie's next adventure. Great job, DeeJ, here's hoping that grass is just as green as we all dream it is!
Yes Virginia, There Are Other Games Out There
So, as many of you know already, I'm not just a Halo fan. I have a pretty darn eclectic taste in games of all walks and platforms, actually. Just last night I went to war with GrimBrothers III and IV defending the honor of the the Emperor in Warhammer 40k: Space Marine, an extremely fun and well-polished title. We were rocking the Exterminatus (Horde) Mode and dispatching orcs like so many chicken wings past conquered.
Also on the docket has been some good times with friend and fellow Halo Waypoint moderator Rukizzel on the newly-released NFL Blitz. Did I mention that my "day job" has an old 1999 Blitz arcade cabinet? Yeah… more on that another time.
Also recently grabbed the Season Pass for Gears of War 3 during the holiday sale on Xbox LIVE and have been Ramm-ing it hardcore with Grim Superfriend Macsimos 326. Good times indeed.
What have you guys been playing? Besides Skyrim, I mean…
That's All… For Now…
So until next time, thanks for listening. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment. Or a brownie. They are delicious.
<3 Grim


text: i guess this is an android thing, not a galaxy thing, but hopefully there's an app or something to help 1) when i am making a call to a company and am given extensions to dial (press 1 for ..., press 2 for ...) it bugs me that the screen went blank and the keypad is hidden. makes me miss having a real keypad. is there something in the market or some setting to make this less annoying? *2) how to 'send contact' like vcard or something. and can it be done mid-call. today, i had to end the call, look through my contacts, try to keep the contact in my head as i switched back to send an SMS and type the number in manually. 3) and one probably stupid question... when i am listening to music, for example, and i need to switch over to make a call or turn on wifi or something, there is just a pause button. does this mean that the player is still running in the background? can i multitask and run 2 apps at the same time and switch back and forth? (ie search the internet and listen to music) *Just found something called contact sender that is not bad. does what is says. only sends as text though, no vcard option. too bad it isn't integrated into the menu. but at least it's something.

Last night I headed out with my Drake (more on it later,) the Prince Eugen, to do some work for the Fed Navy again. It's not that I resent what the fed Navy usually assigns to me, but honestly, PI is much more exciting at times. Fortunately this was not one of those times. Fed Navy sent me out to investigate a Mordu's Legion sighting. I'm always happy to investigate to death those traitors.
There were quite a few of them. I must admit, at one point they managed to get a double web on me and knock my shields down about two thirds. But it was never really close. Their tech one missiles were no match for my shields and my Widowmaker Furys made quick work of theirs.
At the second jump gate, I was not struck in awe of their defense but rather the entire scene that played out on my screen. I have seen a lot of beauty in space since becoming a capsuleer, but this took my breath away. Like the bones of some long-dead space leviathan, these strange asteroids framed the gate. I had to pass through the center of them to jump. I found myself holding my breath as the Prince Eugen passed through; expecting them to animate and attack as I did so.
It was a surrealistically fantastic moment I won't soon forget.
Now, about the Drake. Yes, I know it isn't Gallente. But it is a DPS dealing, max-buffer, passive-shielded Incursion fit Drake that's been through all but a MOM fight and that makes it different. Still, the whole time I've been flying it, I've felt a twinge guilty about it being my first battle cruiser and all. I could buy a Myrmidon but it just didn't seem like enough recompense for buying the Drake first. The longer I waited the more heavily the Drake decision weighed. Finally, I realized the solution was just a day away.
So, after making the appropriate appointment with the neural re-mappers at the local training facility, I am now the proud pilot of Peeping Tom, my first Arazu!
For some reason this seems to make the Drake decision okay. It will be a month (more actually) before I can fly him really well (i.e. offensively with a good tank) but for now he'll go where I dare not take my thinner skinned Helios, Space Ghost. I can't wait.
Fly careful.

The four had their Bootspacks on. They were feeling immensely proud. Bolt was a kind of guy who liked being at the center of the attention. He was already bragging about being the first human to fly in space, literally. Now the other three knew why he wanted to take off first.
Just a few minutes after, they had left Zedaron's atmosphere. They were now feeling the space. Pieter was again at his fumbling best, unable to control his Bootspack probably.
All four couldn't still believe how easily their guardians had let them off. And how cranked up were they to believe their amazingly stupid reasons? Had they got something to do with this?
Or was this all a dream, shared by the four? Nope. This wasn't a dream as they knew it couldn't possibly be.
Prof. Dale ahead and others behind, were gliding through the space. Occasionally, an asteroid or two would come in their way.
Hadn't Jon helped Pieter at that precise moment, he sure would have got hit by one of 'em. Pieter was sort of namby-pamby person.
"Something's wrong. Something's definitely wrong" said Pieter. All could hear what he said as they were audio conferencing, so as to communicate with each others.
Everyone except Prof. Dale disregarded what Pieter had said. Prof. Dale asked everyone to stop, to stop immediately. His voice was stern. He was acting as if he was seeing something which others could not.
Others thought he was trying to fool them but his actions weren't suggesting the same. They had never seen Prof. Dale as serious and tensed as he was now.
"Jon, move to your right now!" shouted he. Jon did it immediately, though feeling something fleshy that edged past him.
"They're Wormins. How could they be here? It ain't a good sign. It definitely ain't" said Prof. Dale.
He had used another fancy word when he said he wouldn't. This was serious, very very serious.

Staff Writer, Martinsburg
MARTINSBURG, W.Va. - An unsuccessful candidate for the Berkeley County Commission has sued The Herald-Mail Co., alleging the newspaper published a libelous story last year about his stance on zoning in the county, according to Berkeley County Circuit Court records.
In the story, The Herald-Mail Co. wrote that Republican John E. Wright opposed zoning, but that Wright signed an order hiring a consulting firm to draft the regulation, according to the suit filed Thursday.
The story published May 7, 1996, said Wright signed the order when he was a commissioner in 1988, according to the suit.

Only one month to go until the big day! Christmas is my favourite time of year. I have lots of layouts, especially Christmas themed that I will be posting over the next week so stay tuned. For now, here is what I created with the LCOM December kit.
Our Joy: I had a couple of pre-Christmas photoshoots lately with Larissa so I could make lots of Christmas layouts. This Little Yellow Bicyle paper is really unique. The finish on it is slightly shiny and the paper is really thick.
I used glitter gold embossing powder on these Christmas bells.
Countdown: The little tiny Prima crystals on this layouts are my new favourite scrappy embellishment!
This little mini Christmas tree is made by Maya Road and comes in the kit. There is an extra sheet of plain chipboard in the package so I used it to cut out one more layer..the back layer with the trunk. I thought the album looked more finished with this layer.
After I made this album I couldn't find it anywhere..then I caught a glimpse of it in Larissa's toy wagon that she was pulling around. She never takes anything from my scrap room or craft supplies so I asked her why she had it. "well you made it for me didn't you.....it's mine right" :) Indeed I did make it for her so I had to explain that if she put it in with her toys it would get wrecked so it's new home in the basket with the rest of the mini albums.

Actually the answer is yes and no. If the attachment is not an image

Lisa seeing clearer and 55 pounds lighter*
Lisa Suhay was suffering with chronic lower back and joint pain. When she was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes—the same chronic disease that killed her grandmother—she decided to make a change. After watching "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead" with her husband and sons, the whole family started juicing. They experienced clearer skin, balanced weight, and fewer aches and pains. Not only did Lisa lose over 50 pounds and get out of pain, she also got many surprising health benefits.*
My results:
- I've lost 55 pounds*
- My arthritic joint and back pain is gone*
- I can easily kayak and walk at least 6 miles a day without pain!*
- My eyesight is much better—it improved 3 prescriptions*
My family's results:
- My husband lost 30 pounds and broke a Guinness Book record for sailing*
- My sons have clear skin – no more acne*
Why I Rebooted: To lose weight and relieve my joint and back pain
I was suffering with pain in my joints and lower back, unable to walk a block without sitting down in agony and all over from pre-diabetic inflammation. I popped Tylenol and Motrin like candy with no relief. I was in too much pain for physical therapy.
When I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes at age 50 at my local community center's health fair, it was a major wake-up call. My grandmother died of Type 2 Diabetes, so I knew it was serious.
I finally gave in to my Netflix queue's dogged recommendation to watch "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead."
My whole family joins me on my journey
And actually, I watched it three times: on my own, with my youngest son, and with my husband. We all became juicers.
My intention of a 10-day juice-only fast morphed into a 30 day Reboot. I went vegan after 90 days of a plant-based diet.
I used the Reboot With Joe Juice Diet app for my Reboot. And then I bought and downloaded literally every single one of Joe's books for Kindle – from The Reboot with Joe Juice Diet to 101 Juice Recipes. I'm a JOE junkie! ☺
I'm down 55 pounds*, and I have an active outdoor business
Before I rebooted, I was working from home as a journalist and children's book author. I spent a lot of my time sitting. Now, I'm walking a minimum of six miles a day (more often 10 or 12) and 55 lbs lighter.*
I started my own business, renting remote controlled sailboats. Now, I'm outdoors almost all day, kayaking around The Hague river retrieving little boats and setting markers for races. I hoist the kayak on and off the Jeep all by myself.
In addition, I'm working part-time as a news editor for The Waterway Guide, a sporting publication. I still write children's books.
My husband's juicing accomplishments inspire me daily
My husband, Rob, juiced with me, and he dropped 30 pounds.* He was finally able to break the Guinness World Sailing Record for "Longest Distance Ever Sailed in A Dinghy." He has become an avid juicer, and he's my daily inspiration to maintain my weight loss.
My sons have clear, acne-free complexions
Three of our four sons added juice to their diets and stopped eating junk food. Acne is gone from our home at last.
Our youngest son is vegan, and he's now a slim 13-year-old with no acne. He's the first of four brothers not to get it at all.
My eye doctor was surprised at my improved vision
One completely unexpected benefit has been my eyesight improving dramatically. Over this past summer, I was upset that I couldn't see with my prescription eyeglasses. When I went to my eye doctor, he told me that my sight had become stronger—three prescription strengths better. He explained that he'd read about cases like this in medical journals, but he'd never seen it actually happen. He said it was due to the increased blood circulation to the membranes in my eyes. He was blown away.
We're sticking with our new healthy habits
Today, there is no animal meat of any kind in our home. Some of our family members still eat dairy, or the occasional egg or tuna. But I am still vegan, as is our youngest son.
I juice for breakfast most mornings, and often for lunch as well. I eat healthy snacks and a moderate vegan dinner.
If I slip, I know how to get back on track
I eat far less that I ever have in my life, although vegan pizza and the occasional cookie or vegan ice cream still have their days.
If I indulge, I balance it back out with exercise and a few days of juice-only fasting to bring my weight back into line. Watching and re-watching "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead," has also helped me at times when I go up a few pounds and need to motivate again.
What I wish someone told me so that I would have started sooner
I can't say I got my life "back" because, frankly, my life was never this good before.
Our whole family is active and trying new things together. My husband and I now work out together, and I still walk as often as I possibly can. I am so active now that I take every opportunity to try new sports with my sons. We recently went out to archery night at the community center and it has become a new family passion.

I love this time of the year :-) The Christmas deccies come down, the weather heats up ready for New Years Eve and the summer hols unofficially start!
I made this quilt a few years ago from a pattern in Australian Patchwork and Quilting magazine, called 'Between the Flags'...I can't remember the name of the person who designed it, but when I find the mag, I'll edit this post to add her name. I think that the pattern version was made by machine sewing/rotary cutting , but as ever(!), I made it different. I hand-pieced it using the English paper piecing method, and hand-quilted it.
.....From a summer quilt to winter sleeves...this sweater is knitting up really fast, and already I've cast on for the body. The decreases on the sleeves are looking a bit 'obvious' at the moment, but I'm hoping that with some washing and blocking, this won't bother me so much...I think it should be ok, coz I've made a top down raglan sweater in this yarn before (with lots of increases and decreases) and that one looks fine....here's hoping :-D
** 'Between the Flags' was designed by Gita Barlow and published in AP & Q in 3 parts .... Volume 10 #2,3 and 4**

Galaxy owner Anschutz Entertainment Group is a part-owner of Swedish club Hammarby, so the news isn't as strange as it first appears.
Still, Gregg Berhalter has been an assistant coach at the Galaxy for less than a year, so it's still a big step up.
And it's a sign of how highly the former central defender is regarded by Galaxy Coach Bruce Arena and clubs in Europe, where Americans generally don't get much respect, but where Berhalter spent the bulk of his career.
Congratulations to Berhalter, a class act in the locker room and as a person, but as a journalist I bemoan the loss of a great quote. Wonder if he'll be just as quotable in Swedish?
And here is a quote from Berhalter, supplied by the Galaxy:
"I am excited for the challenge that lies ahead and could not be more thankful to AEG and everyone at Hammarby for giving me the opportunity," Berhalter said. "While I am saddened to leave a club that means so much to me, I feel that my experiences with the Galaxy both on and off the field have helped prepare me for the journey that lies ahead."
Full details here.
Who Knew Department: current Galaxy Academy Senior Director Chris Klein is on the Swedish club's board, the Galaxy said today (now the move makes even more sense).

yesterday was my bro-in-law's birthday. my sis told me he love tiramisu. so i search for recipe. OMG, there's so many yummy recipe out there. which to choose? i choose the simplest one yet recommended by the person (: decided on HHB's recipe and i modified it and topped it off with FRESH fruits that we bought.
big THANK YOU to jess and cathy for their help and suggestions! love you lots (:
so, im submitting this to Aspiring Bakers #5 : Fruity March hosted by Jess
because it tasted soooo DELICIOUS and it was finished right on the spot after singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY song, my mum request to make another one for my aunt! so i made another one today (: im sure i'll keep this recipe and my mum request this for her upcoming birthday!
Espresso Syrup:
1 tablespoon instant espresso/ strong coffee powder
250g mascarpone cheese
1 cup (250 ml) heavy/whipping cream
about 1 1/2 pack of sponge fingers
dark and white chocolate shavings (optional)
To make the Espresso Syrup:
Dissolve instant espresso coffee powder in boiling water. Stir in 50ml Kahlua. Set aside.
To make the Filling:In a mixing bowl, with a manual whisk, whisk mascarpone cheese with sugar, vanilla extract, rum and 1 tablespoons of the espresso syrup until blended.
With an electric mixer whisk the whipping cream until soft peak (do not over whip). With a spatula, fold in 1/4 of the whipped cream to the mascarpone mixture. Fold in the remaining whipped cream to the mascarpone mixture.
To assemble the cake:
Cut off one end of the sponge fingers so that each one is about 3" in length. Line the sides of a 8" round baking pan* (with a removable base or use a springform pan) with the sponge fingers (do not dip them in the espresso syrup). If the last sponge finger cannot fit in nicely, trim away part of it to fit it in. Save the leftover small pieces.
One at a time, gently dip (do not soak) sponge fingers in the espresso syrup and use them to line the base of the pan. Cut the sponge fingers into shorter lengths if necessary. Use the leftover pieces to fill the gaps.
Spoon over one third of the filling. Spread evenly. Repeat with another layer of sponge fingers and spoon over filling. Sprinkle crunchy choc pearls (gives the tiramisu bit of crunch that's nice) generously then put a layer of sponge and spread remaining filling. Spread and smooth the top. Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, best left overnight.
Just before serving, unmold the cake and dust the top with cocoa powder. Decorate with dark and white chocolate shavings and strawberries (as desired).
(*Note: If you do not have a springform pan or a pan with a removable base, you can improvise by lining a normal round pan with a large sheet of aluminium foil. Give allowance of about 1~2 inches for the foil to hang over the rim of the pan. Place a cake board inside the lined pan. Follow the steps above. To unmold, simply lift up the cake from the pan by gripping the foil. Transfer the cake onto a serving plate and carefully remove the foil. )
dear all, i'll be taking a short break to think about and decide on stuffs. thank you for your concern, im fine (: after sorting out and thinking about it, actually it isnt too bad? that's how i console myself . . let's just hope for the best that can happen. yours till is decided . .

In order to get optimum returns, it is very important that your online advertising is substantially powerful to make the readers reach out for their wallets and buy what you have on offer.
One of the important points to be remembered in online advertising is that your audience is not going to spend all day on your website. So, you need to create powerful, attention grabbing headline to have undivided attention of your target audience. Mind well, you do not have more than a few seconds of their time. Your audience will read further only if the headline is interesting.
Your headline should be attention grabbing, interesting from your customer's perspective and clearly state the benefits to the customer. It should create an urgent need to act. It should actually compel the readers to read on further.
To create a powerful headline for your online marketing campaign, you need to know a little about consumer psychology. You will need to know what motivates them most, what it is that ignites their curiosity.
As per Abraham Maslow, the father of human psychology, every human being has 5 basic needs which need to be met. He calls it theory of hierarchy of needs.
The first amongst it is the basic needs or the physiological need of food, clothing, shelter and sex. The second is security-financial, physical and emotional security. The next in line is the social security –the need to be loved and accepted by the society. Once these basic needs are satisfied, human beings will move on to other needs namely recognition, respect etc. The last one is satisfying the ego.
Once you understand the basic needs of human beings, you know drives them. Now, all you need to do is incorporate it in to your headline.
Let us take a look at some of the most effective headlines that will improve your online advertising campaign:
"How to get what you want" or "How to lose 7 pounds in 30 days" are some of the examples of effective online advertising.
Another great way of capturing reader's attention is to ask question that relates with them. For example: "Are you dead tired working for your boss"
Highlighting the benefits also works well- "Earn Hands Free income In Your Free time"
Or: informative headlines such as: "A Major Breakthrough in Online Advertising"
These headlines will help you get your potential customer's interest and compel them to read what you have to say. Make sure that the rest of the ad copy is captivating enough to motivate them finally purchase from you.

(NewsUSA) – Change is inevitable. The status quo is untenable. Yet, few people and businesses are able to identify the real problem.
"Many people pride themselves on being able to think outside the box," says Jim Feldman, a renowned keynote speaker, entrepreneur, consultant and author of numerous books. "To effectively answer the question, you must first start inside the box, where the true problem exists."
According to innovation expert Feldman, making the simple complicated is easy, but making the complex simple often requires thinking "inside the box."
Referring to "inside the box," Feldman describes the process as "3D thinking." He says it's important to break the problem into smaller pieces. What is the "depth" of your knowledge? What is the "distance" to market? Do you have the "determination" to succeed?
Feldman points to an unsettling trend in customer service innovation. The shift has been to out-source services, automate billing and reduce personal attention. As a result, errors have increased.
In his blog, Feldman points out, recent experiences with AT&T and CitiMortgage.
"AT&T sent out their monthly statement, which contained several billing errors," notes Feldman. "I called their customer service line to be placed on hold. 'Your call is important. We are servicing other customers, please stay on the line.' Important? No technology. No automated callback. No options that so many other companies utilize when the lines are busy. The largest communication company in the world could not communicate."
Similarly, CitiMortgage uses representatives in the Philippines and India who do not have the ability to return calls or make decisions, and lack customer-solution commitment. To Feldman, it appears that big banks have lost interest in their customers.
"From an outside viewpoint, I am able to identify the problem from an unbiased perspective. Maybe they should engage my services," he quips. Feldman is an expert in mastering these changes and shifts. He has assisted companies like Apple, Microsoft, Coca-Cola, Wynn Las Vegas, HP, Toyota and the U.S. Department of Defense.
"To make 'shift happen' you have to manage the change process itself," he says. "The secret is not to brace yourself for change, but relax and create a better customer experience." Performance improvements cannot become an exercise in frustration and failure, for either consumers or employees.
If you or your company need help managing change, set up a free consultation with Feldman by calling 312-527-9111. You can also visit his website at www.shifthappens.com or www.sosthinktank.com.

Netherlands Supports Justice and Human Rights with $2.5MJun 13, 2013
Kabul, Afghanistan: The Embassy of the Netherlands and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Afghanistan have signed a cost sharing agreement (CSA) to enhance policy development and increase access to justice services across Afghanistan. The US$ 2.49 million cost-sharing agreement covers UNDP activities until December 2015, carried out under the Justice and Human Rights in Afghanistan (JHRA) Project.
Over the past decade, the Government of Afghanistan has developed the State justice system and advanced its ability to extend quality justice services to its citizens. However, challenges with security and limited access to information have weakened the ability of State justice providers to reach more remote communities, and public knowledge of justice and the responsibilities of the State remains low. Lack of access to and understanding of the formal justice system have hindered efforts to develop public trust in the formal justice sector, and have led to an over-reliance on community elders, or shuras, to resolve conflicts.
The UNDP has developed a Rule of Law Programmatic Strategy to assist the Government of Afghanistan in developing the necessary foundations to build trust in its justice system. The JHRA Project contributes to this strategy by assisting the Ministry of Justice in developing high-level coordination mechanisms and improving quality access to justice for vulnerable groups. Close engagement with the Ministry of Justice, Attorney General's Office, Afghanistan Independent Bar Association, Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission, national civil society organizations, women's groups and local community elders and shuras will allow the JHRA project to develop lasting systems and skills to bolster the delivery of justice to the people of Afghanistan in the long term.
Today, the generous support of the Embassy of the Netherlands in Afghanistan strengthens the JHRA Project's programming to develop high-level coordination mechanisms for policy and legislation as well as the establishment of frameworks for providing quality access to justice services for vulnerable groups, including the Legal Aid Grant Facility in Afghanistan.

I am hoping I don't have to move too many more times in life! In fact, I think it takes years OFF of your life! lol
A quick recap. We closed on the selling of our house just about a month ago and headed out of state. Let me tell you...that last 48 hours was H.E. double hockey sticks!!!! We didn't sleep the last night bc we were still packing. We had the bestest friends come help the last day and I can't imagine how we would have done it without them! Then we headed out of state, to find a house. lol Yep, didn't have one when we moved. Found one, but couldn't move in for 3 plus weeks, so the hotel became our friend. Kids even started school two days late and while we were still in the hotel. We LOVED moving into an actual house again just over a week ago and since I have been unpacking like mad! (Although I DO miss someone else cleaning the bathrooms and making breakfast.;)
Explain why I have been MIA?! :)
Anyway, I am starting to get back into the swing of things. I have 3 walk in closets in my new master bedroom, yes 3!!! So, one is now my craft/work "room". LOL It's a mess now, but I did finally get a table set up in there yesterday, so be looking for more to come soon!!! And if you have any great organizational ideas for it, let me know! ;)

What a lovely card.ReplyDelete
I played with that embossing folder last weekend in class and it is super.
I'm currently trying to decide what to make with the sticky-backed fabric from this DoCraft range and think I'll be mixing & matching with the embossing folder and stamps.
Have a great weekend.

On-line Film Suppliers – the lowest cost suppliers
With lower overheads that the traditional bricks and mortar tint shops, most of the online window film suppliers give customers a discount for measuring and quoting their own job equal to the sales commission that would have been paid to a sales rep. This not only allows customers to avoid taking time off work to meet with a sales rep, customers get the sales commission as a discount to significantly reduce the film cost.
The traditional small family owned tint shop cannot compete against the on-line film suppliers' business model and many tint shop owners have aligned themselves with one or more of the online suppliers to offer customers a film installation service. Competition between film installers has led to the online film suppliers appointing "approved installers" and these "approved installers" compete for the available installation work – many film installers now offer their own discount to customers as an incentive to select them at the on-line suppliers checkout.
Discount Coupons
In addition to the above companies, the following film installers also offer customers discount coupons. The discount code to be used to claim the discount at the film suppliers on-line checkout is shown on each company's website.
