Well, it's only a week since my last blog, which is short for me. But a lot's happened, so here I am again.
First up, my second novel Blood and Gold is now out on Amazon Kindle and as a print book, via CreateSpace, It's another Fantasy, if somewhat different to The Risen King. Secondly, Risen King itself is now on Smashwords, so it either is or soon will be available on mobile phones and suchlike which use different platforms: Android, Apple and so on.
(It's actually amazing that although I've published before, putting out Blood and Gold still gave me a secret sort of thrill. I sort of suspect I'll still get that in 30 years)
Anyway, the other big thing that happened is I picked up my first official review, from someone on the Amazon list of indie reviewers. This woman's name is Jennifer Hyndman, and after reading Risen King she was kind enough to say this;
I have found a new passion and it is discovering indie author treasures. This is one of those. Immediately I was taken with the beauty of this authors writing... which draws the suspense in such as way as the intrigue kept me reading for two solid hours. What a great ability to define such nature and character within a story with mere words.
I was very much surprised to find a new and original story line to immerse myself in. It is a personal adventure, and as I read on the author leads you into his world by attaching your mind to the characters. You live their world and their thoughts. You bond with them which seems and develop an emotional attachment... when you find an indie author with fluid prose and the ability to capture you into the tale, you should pass it on. (5 stars)
I can't believe I was given such a review as that, especially as it was my first. Right away thanks are due to Jennifer Hyndman, who like most online reviewers is snowed under, and who took the time to read my book and offer her opinion. I know reviewers do it for the joy of reading as much as anything, but it must still be a brain-numbing task sometimes, so I'm grateful to anyone who makes the effort, whatever they say in review.
But when someone says that... wow. It's a single review, that's all, but to we insecure, doubt-gnawed writers something like this is precious indeed. I've said it once, but again won't hurt: thank you, to Ms Hyndman and to all the reviewers, because you do an important job and if we're not grateful to you, we should be.

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone for participating in all the giveaway drawings during Back To School week - it's been fun! (Even with the multiple server crashes!) Special thanks go out of course to the great companies who donated prizes. I also hope the three features have been useful too!
And now the final giveaway prize for this event - something that's rather close to my heart…
It's a signed copy of The Just Bento Cookbook, authored by yours truly. My precious stash of author's copies is just about all spoken for already to be sent to family and friends (I did have to convince my father that he has to wait for the 15 copies he requested), but I have reserved one just for…you!
If you're new to the site, read more about the book here and take a peek inside.
Update: The giveway is now closed…wow, we got more than 1,000 entries! Thank you everyone who participated - the winner will be announced later this week.
This giveaway is open to everyone, worldwide. If someone in Antarctica wins, I'll mail it there!
To enter, just leave a comment to this post. Since I'm always curious as to where people who read this site are, just say what town, state (if applicable) and country you're commenting from. (No need to be too specific - I'm not going to come and stalk you ^_^)
Be sure to include a valid email address where you can be contacted in the appropriate text box! Your comment must be posted by 23:59:59 EDT (U.S. East Coast Time) (or just before midnight) of Wednesday, August 25th 2010. One lucky entry will be drawn at random to receive a signed copy of the book. Good luck!
So, this is the last giveaway of Back To School Week 2010. I hope you enjoyed it!

I got this in my inbox this morning, and instantly got soooo excited to see a book like this!!!!
my kids love making bento boxes for their lunches for school...
but since we REALLY don't know how to make a true bento box, we fill them with things like... mini tuna sandwiches, string cheese, hard boiled eggs, baby corn... anything we can find that will fit...
they never come out pretty like in the pics you have here.... but, the kids are happy.
I couldn't even imagine the looks on their face when they started opening their bento boxes and saw stuff like this!!!!! :o)
congrats on your book!!!
I will share the link from amazon with my friends on facebook... and I hope you do very well!!!!

Full Moon Poya Day of Poson - 2554June 24, 2010, 6:56 pm
by Walter Wijenayaka
Since then Buddhism flourished in this island, but after two millenniums, since 1505 it disclosed a decrease in the process of its progress with the advent of three Western Nations – Portuguese, Dutch and British in turn with the influence of their Christian/Catholic missionaries.
However the pure doctrine of the Buddha brought by the Maha Thera precided Mahinda after it was redacted by Arahants at the Third Great Buddhist Council held under the aegis of Emperor Dharmasoka and the presidentship of the Arahant Thera Moggaliputta Tissa, continues to flourish here today.
It should be kept in mind that the credit for preserving the Dhamma of the Buddha untarnished, and for its spreading throughout the world is deserved by the people of Sri Lanka.
In his exercise Mahinda Thera, with great ease established the Bhikkhu Sasana (Bhikkhu Sangha community) with the ordination of Prince Arittha. After all he went back to the Missaka Pabbatha as its environment was calm and quiet.
On the following morning he went to Meghavana Park (Maha Meuna Uyana) to respect the Ministers of the king who invited him on the orders of the king. The then bestowed the park to the Thera.
The gift was formed the nucleus of the Maha Vihara which was later to become a historic seat of Buddhist learning in Sri Lanka. The Buddha Sasana was firmly established in the Sri Lanka's soil and enjoyed royal patronage. The treasury provided for the maintenance of the Bhikkhus who had joined the Order in large numbers as they could not always rely on the charity of generous lay folk for their sustenance. Part of the country's agricultural surplus was also used to construct religious edifices called stupas or chetiyas and cultural embellishments associated with them.
Arts and crafts, painting and sculpture, language and literature received a fresh impetus as the doctrine took root in the country. Every Buddhist shrine in the country were based on the Indian models and in the wake of the Mauryan Buddhist mission came the arts and crafts of India as well.
The arrival of Arahanth Mahinda Thera was soon followed by the bringing of a sapling of the historic Bo tree from Buddha Gaya under which the Buddha attained enlightenment, by Sangamitta Therani, the sister of Arahanth Mahinda Thera.
She established the Bhikkuni Sasana with the ordination of Princess Anula, the wife of the king's (King Devanampiyatissa's) younger brother. Civilization attached to Buddhism and the arrival of Therani Sangamitta and the establishment of Bhikkhuni Sasana.
Civilization attached to Buddhism and the arrival of Therini Sangamitta along with the numerous master-craftsmen brought about a distinctive religious and cultural pattern in Sri Lanka.
No story of ancient Mihintale would be complete without a brief reference to two persons who were associated with the preservation and discovery of the monuments, during the first half of the last century. Between 1900 and 1914, it was the fiery orator and Buddhist leader Walisinghe Harischandra whom agitated with the colonial government to hold back vast extent of temple property that was to be appropriated under the Waste Lands Ordinance. The other person was Prof. Senerath Paranavitane, the Archaeological Commissioner who identified and restored our heritage at this hallowed spot.
The people of this country in the ancient times worshipped rocks, trees etc. They prayed to super natural beings, gods, demons etc. for the fulfilment of their wishes. What ever it is, they were aware of the message – the doctrine of the Buddha as the Buddha has visited Sri Lanka thrice – the first to Mahiyangana, second to Nagadipa and the third to Kelaniya.
The Arahant Thera Mahinda having worked hard for the propagation of Buddhism inthis small island for forty eighty years and passed away at the age of eighty years while residing at Mihintale during the reign of King Uttiya.

When I worked as an assistant editor for a local magazine one of my responsibilities was organizing and coordinating the photo shoots. I had to book photographers and make-up artists, determine and/or suggest locations, submit contractors' information and invoices and make sure everyone was in place on the big day.
It was actually a portion of the job I enjoyed the most especially since every avenue of creativity intrigues me. I love to observe photographers, the types of lenses they use, backdrops, lighting and compare that to the final product that was sometimes altered for creative reasons. It was equally as pleasurable to watch the makeup artists who manage to transform a subjects' face into a masterful painting.
While observing these creative folks I had the opportunity to learn a lot about their businesses and experience. For instance, some of the makeup artists simply did photo shoots on the side, but worked out of salons or spas providing services for wedding parties, celebrities and the everyday client. There's a makeup artist in Newport, RI, that I hear is pretty good and if you live in that area you should stop by the store – Cosmetic Cosmos – and check out their services.
After having seen so many fabulous makeovers, I would suggest everyone to pamper themselves at least once on a special occasion or just because. Have you ever had a make over?

SANTA ANA — A minor league hockey player avoided conviction on rape charges Friday after a deadlocked jury failed to reach a verdict.
David McKee, 26, of Texas was accused of raping a 29-year-old woman in July 2006 while she slept in a Newport Beach summer rental after she went out drinking with McKee and his friends. The men were all minor league hockey players in town for the Anaheim Ducks hockey camp.
On Friday, Orange County Superior Court jurors deadlocked 11 to 1, with the majority voting not guilty.
McKee was indicted by a grand jury last year that charged he raped an intoxicated and unconscious woman. The alleged victim had apparently been drinking before falling asleep, then woke up to find someone was having sex with her.

|Climbing in Swanage
|Stu on 1st Corner
Arriving at Overton, I met the rest of the gang. Rob, Greg, Steve, Duncan and Mike, whose 40th it was and was suitable attired with a large fluffy hat with dildos (or candles) hanging of it. We made our way into the countryside not before first getting lost just out of the car park! We hiked a loop for a couple of hours passing some buffalo meaning we were nearing Laverstock farm. Stopping for refreshments tasting the delicious local hops and buying some local produce we reluctantly staggered away to find a home for the night.
|mmmMMM Buffalo Steaks
|Morning headaches
The run started slow. 'Hangover' aside, my rucksack took an age to get right, then I had to retrieve my mp3, not long after I wanted some food. Still there was no rush and this was all about enjoying getting home and the whole body needed a slow wind up. Just getting into my stride and realised that there seemed to be no easy way over/under the motorway so ended up running along some roads and the heavens opened up which truly drenched me to the bone. Lucky that the day was going to be interspersed with blue skies and heavy downpours, so things soon dried up once I was soaked.
|No rain?
A great weekend. Another entertaining and successful micro adventure. These really are good and recommend any one to try it.
Stats: 11mile hike on the saturday followed by a 29mile run on sunday.

Today was not that day. I woke up at 5am for my 3.5 mile run, and felt dizzy. It passed, so I proceeded to complete my run. As I said on Twitter (@Mrsmillersmiles), "I only regret when I don't get my 5am run in. Today was not that day. NO REGRETS!" I did a decent 3.5 mile run and headed home.
After showering I got a serious dizzy spell; like I fell to the floor dizzy. It was really scary and took me about ten minutes to get back together and not have a spinning room. I called my mom and she diagnosed me (She's a nurse you know) with vertigo. She has it, all my sisters have dealt with it, so here I am. I hated it. My sisters have only had it a time or two, so that's good. I was a little off all day but pressed through work. Smart? Eh, well, if it was really an issue I would know when to throw in the towel...I think.
I went to Fit Body Pilates tonight. UH. Pain. I do NOT like backing down during a class or workout, and I had to back down a few times. My core is a bit of a stinker, and working it too hard makes me throw up nauseous. The instructor, oh, she's pregnant and kicked my rear end. Thanks. I have to make up a few classes before my Groupon expires Monday so I'll be tortured a bit more this week. I liked it. It made me feel #OpHardcoreFit!
Was today a good workout day? TELL ME ABOUT IT! Let's be honest, not every day is a two a day Tuesday. Did you fight through and do something good for your body today? Did you listen to your body and rest?
Running and Cross training my way because it's...
28 days until Cancun and Winter Polka Dot Bikini!!!...ONE MONTH!!!
59 Days until the 13.1 NYC half marathon!!!.

We spent a couple days in the city selling, competing, and learning. We found out that that is a large dungeon near the city, and that Varrum the White lost his special dragon mask to someone in the Sanctum. He made some excuses to his dragon cult leader and was last seen at the Boarshyr Bridge. We have been asked to go intercept him, because having the mask will make it easier for him to summon Tiamat.
We took a portal north then rode four griffins toward the bridge. A day in, we see a red dragon chasing us down. After a quick fight and a near-dead griffin, the red dragon flees. We continue on our way uneventfully, and reach the bridge and a tent city. With great reservation, we enter the city and start asking questions about Varrum. A person in the nearby inn, tells us that about two weeks ago Varrum was seen in the inn with about a dozen barbarians. He killed someone for asking him questions about why he was there, then he set off for the Serpent Hills. We quickly hired a guide and set off after him. A couple days later, we are encountered by two medium blue dragons and a large group of cultist groupies. I quickly turned one dragon into a slug. The warlock fireballed, and killed, at least thirteen opponents and then quickly died to a dragonkin's spear. I shattered another group of cultists to death. The warrior took out a half dragon creature, and our dragon-shredder made quick work of the remaining dragon and dragonkin. We closed out the fight by tying the slug to an arrow and shooting it directly into the air so that it would fall to its death. Finally we raised the warlock and holed up for the night. Tomorrow, I feel confident that Varrum is going to meet his end.

when its summer and Greg Heffley is in his house playing games and there are like no rules to him.But then family has like a togetherness.And Greg went to a vocation with Rowley and his family.
Greg's family has cut back on vacations and day trips to save money, so his summer fun is limited. Summer vacation finds the main character, Greg, happy to be inside playing video games. His mother has other ideas, and starts a book club. Greg also gets to go to the country club with his best friend Rowley -- until they run up a bill of $83 for smoothies that Greg thought were free. Greg gets a job to pay the money back, and his scheme to mow lawns goes about as well as his other plans often do. So his birthday money will have to pay the bill instead of buy him the dog he wants, or so he thinks.

Richard Sherman made an official apology as he told reporters that he did not intend to take away from the efforts of his team as the Seattle Seahawks move forward to the Super Bowl 2014.
In a text message to ESPN reporter Ed Werder, Richard Sherman wrote:
"I apologize for attacking an individual and taking the attention away from the fantastic game by my teammates … That was not my intent. Obviously I could have worded things better and could obviously have had a better reaction and done things differently. But it is what it is now, and people's reactions are what they are."
Richard Sherman clinched the win for the Seattle Seahawks against the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship when he deflected what could have been the winning touchdown for the 49ers. After his win-saving block, Richard Sherman ran over to Michael Crabtree and patted him on the head. Crabtree then shoved Sherman in the face before walking off the field.
In his post-game interview, Sherman told reporters:
"I was making sure everyone knew Crabtree was a mediocre receiver. And when you try the best corner in the game with a mediocre receiver, that's what happens. I appreciate that he knows that now. There has been a lot of talk from him running his mouth about me."
Despite his apology, Richard Sherman also took to websites and blogs to post his side of the story as he wrote on MMQB:
"To those who would call me a thug or worse because I show passion on a football field — don't judge a person's character by what they do between the lines. Judge a man by what he does off the field, what he does for his community, what he does for his family. But people find it easy to take shots on Twitter, and to use racial slurs and bullying language far worse than what you'll see from me. It's sad and somewhat unbelievable to me that the world is still this way, but it is. I can handle it."

Here is yet another of my high tec gadgets, purchased last weekend at the St. Happy Fair, a chestnut cutter. A simple device cutting the small slit into the skin of the chestnut before roasting or boiling them. Yesterday we laboriously peeled (mostly Susan, as my arm started hurting again soon) 1 kg of chestnuts to preserve them under Whisky (see my post from last year at this time for the recipe).

This is a two part post. Part 1 to give you the setting, Part 2 will talk about the work we did in Chorkor on this trip.
Tuesday we went to Chorkor. I have been to Chorkor several times, it is the location of my children's first home. It's not an easy place to live or visit. In all honesty, I'd prefer to stick to the photos that show you the school children and the people smiling when we give them food. I have great respect for this place, the birthplace of my children. And I do not wish to strip her or her people of any dignity in writing this blog. But, you need context to understand this place. The reality is that no picture, video, or written description can really describe Chorkor. This is an over-populated fishing community. The local beaches are used for dumping sewage (up to 100 tankers per day) into the ocean. A heavy odor of smoked fish, sewage/waste and lack of airflow through the over populated area, is like nothing I've ever experienced. I am sharing this to raise awareness and hopefully educate on the needs in this area. If you are inspired to help please visit Project Global Hope for more information on how to help.
I'll let someone else give you a written overview of Chorkor (below), but first a brief video. Again I apologize for the quality of the video. We were attempting to cross contaminated standing waters (this is not a lake/pond) and my focus was on my step, not the camera screen. All in all, I think you will get the idea.
Here is an article I found some time ago… try to imagine it. Imagine raising your children here. Imagine having poor health, lack of nutrition and trying to survive in this environment.
Chorkor is a densely populated area and lacks basic social amenities such as toilets, bath houses, drains, and schools.
A painstaking tour by the Accra File revealed that teenage pregnancy was on the increase, which had resulted in number of children of school going age roaming in the community.
The tour also revealed that the unplanned nature of the town/ community has exposed the inhabitants to communicable diseases and unhygienic practices-related diseases.
Owning to the unavailability of proper sewage systems and drains, waste water from homes runs through other homes, and children below the age 10, were spotted defecating along these drains.
While frantic efforts are being made to restore the beaches of the city, the Chorkor beach is now a free range for defecating, and a refuse site for both the old and young.
The beach, despite its filthiness, is a safe haven for wee and cocaine smokers, without regard of its effects to the human body, and the country as the whole.
The unavailability of social amenities like a football field and general play ground in the community, the children in Chorkor seek solace by playing in the beach sand, which exposes them to the dangers of the sea, and other diseases brought about by the filthy environment, since they spend most of the time hanging out there.
A closer study of the area also revealed that a nursery school was being run close to the beach, upon questioning some residents about the poor location of the nursery school, The File gathered that due to the unavailability of public toilets in the area, the children use the beache should the need arise.
Emmanuel Lartey Lumba, a fisherman, told the Accra File that the presence of the refuse was hampering fishing, which is their only source of income, adding that the sea was full of plastic waste and other garbage elements.
He said, a community like Chorkor had no designated site for refuse containers, and most households dump their refuse into the sea.
Lartey Lumba said people from as far as Mamprobi, Sukra, and other neighbouring communities, have been dumping refuse and solid waste into the Chemu Lagoon, which in turn carries them into the sea.
The fisherman noted that the situation was more devastating during the rainy season, when man-made pools of water stare at one in the face, and the washing away of more garbage into the sea, making the fisher-folks catch waste material in their nets, instead of fish, most times.
He said to this end, most of the fishermen in the area had abandoned the occupation, due to the constant picking of refuse instead of fish.
"Poverty in the area is very high, making most both and old patronizing indecent trades like the sale of drugs openly," Lartey Lumba noted.
A place like Lanteman, is a very crowded area, with the roads un tarred, and there are no drains, so most residents pour their waste water in the middle of the road, thereby creating pools of stagnant water which become a breeding place for mosquitoes and other flying insects.
A question baffling the mind of the Accra File was whether the Sub-metro Public Health Directorate is doing its mandated work of ensuring that wholesome food is sold to the public, but in the case of Chorkor, the situation is very different, since foods are displayed close to filthy, stinking and choked gutters.

text: Paul George's expected return date was delayed by the team. Indiana Pacers coach, Frank Vogel, said that George's return game date was postponed for precautionary reasons. The team feels that he is not up to complete form, despite videos that show otherwise. Does the team feel comfortable playing without Paul George? Are they worried that he will hurt the team? I think they are. Paul George has came out and publicly said that he does not want to do anything that will hurt the chemistry of the team. Thy are playing very well, as a team, in his absence and he doesn't want to be the person to break that. When asked directly, George paused, took a thoughtful breath, and said while he still wants to return, he doesn't want to risk jeopardizing the Pacers' recent strong play, which has seen the team win seven in a row and 13 of their past 15. George says that he feels that he won't have any problems offensively. However, he feels moving on defense will be a problem. He said that the team has been playing exceptionally well defensively right now. "Defensively, these guys have been special the past month, so that's where I think the confidence will have to come from, where I can be thrown out there and not miss a beat with these guys." Paul George said that any return this season would only be to get him back in to form. He would only play little stints of the bench. Now we wait to see what his final decision is for this season.

Trying to decide on 140mm fans. I've been looking at NF-P14s, Phanteks PH-F140XP, or Fractal Design Venturi. I've already eliminated led due to lack of pwm 140mm out there, and thinking I want to just utilize pwm headers on board (Gigabyte ga-z170x-ud5) vs using hub or controller. I'll be doing two in front, one on rear of enthoo pro m, running 6600k, have a H7, undecided on gpu, probably gtx 960 or R9 380, or gtx 970. May overclock down the road.
I'd prefer to have quiet, and quite frankly I only hesitated on the noctuas due to the fractals venturis being all black, but the grey isn't a showstopper in my opinion on the noctuas, but am not a fan of the beige ones. Noctua Redux do not come with sound dampening mounts, however these can be bought separately.

It was a clear, crisp morning in early spring when a mule-cart creaked up to the entrance of Karak-Varn. Two guards looked suspiciously at the driver, a small hunched figure thickly wrapped in a variety of foul-smelling and flea-ridden blankets. It might be a Dwarf, but they couldn't be sure.
'Who are you, and what's your business?' challenged one of the guards. The driver of the cart cackled softly.
'Come to see your king, I have,' it said, gathering the blankets around it as it shuffled down from the driving seat, 'Brought something for him.'
The guards looked at one another, a little nervously. 'What is it, then?' asked one. The other moved towards the back of the cart, and started to lift the tarpaulin that covered its cargo.
'DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH THAT!' Surprised by the sudden power in the driver's voice, the guard dropped the tarpaulin as if it had burnt him. 'It's had enough of a messing with, just getting here,' the driver grumbled, 'And if you go a-poking and a-prodding it about, it won't be fit for Goblins. And now, if you don't mind, I've had enough of the oily rags and I'll talk to the mechanic.'
'Now I'm not guaranteeing how well it's travelled,' he announced, to no-one in particular. He produced a grubby metal tankard from among his mass of blankets, drew off a little of the barrel's contents, and peered at it critically. 'Hmmmm', he sniffed, 'Gone cloudy.' He swigged noisily, then screwed up his face and spat. 'Worse than I thought,' he continued , 'it could really do with settling for a month or two. Still, it should give you the general idea.' He held out the tankard to the King.
After a moment's hesitation, the King accepted the tankard, and, wiping the rim fastidiously with his cuff, took a swig. The effect was remarkable. His eyebrows shot up to the very rim of his crown, his eyes bulged and began to water as he was doubled over by a fit of coughing. After a few seconds the coughing subsided, and was followed by a deep, resonant belch. It was almost a minute before he was able to speak. 'I don't believe it!' he exclaimed. 'it can't be! It's.... Bugman's!'
There was uproar in the chamber. It was many years since the Battle of Bugman's Brewery. Joseph Bugman was just a memory, a name half forgotten and wreathed in legend, like the name of Bugman's Best Bitter.
Joseph Bugman miraculously survived the Battle of Bugman's Brewery, and turned up years later at the Dwarf hold of Karak-Varn. He was not recognised at first, but when the King of the Dwarfhold tasted the beer that he brought with him, his identity was proved beyond doubt. Bugman's Dwarf Rangers were re-formed at Karak-Varn, as his reputation and his brewing skills brought Dwarves from miles around flocking to his banner. The expedition to reconquer and re-establish Bugman's Brewery assumed the proportions of a holy war.
Right! So that's started - my Dwarf army is underway and the unit it always had to start with was Bugman's Dwarf Rangers. The unit will be 24 models strong (including the hero and champion) and hold down the spot of the compulsory Dwarf Crossbowmen in my list (with full command and the upgrades for shields and double-handed weapons, of course). My plan is to paint the unit in muted tones - browns and greys - for the most part.
I'll have the rest of the command group up this week...

Webplay Ipad Casino here : Pamper Casino – Ac Casino – Money Storm Casino – BetDNA Casino
- Bet online Ipad casinos for free is not as simple as you have assumed initially. When you start looking for free things to bet online on your Ipad, you feel that there are all kinds of websites waiting to satisfy all your needs. Unfortunately, some of these free sites may have a good chance of damaging your Ipad as well. See these tips to stay safe and legal!
- The most notorious online Ipad Casinos
- Each of our Free online Ipad Casino partners has an eCOGRA certificate. This is evidence of operator dedication to offer a fair balanced game and has the interest of giving their customers the best experience they can. As a direct contrast to illegal online Ipad Casinos that have appeared in large numbers in recent years, all the operators we have chosen have chosen a safe and secure platform and use an encryption designed to keep your personal details and banking information as safe as possible.
- Only Ipad Casinos with a good reputation can get an eCOGRA certificate and it is recommended that you avoid all Ipad Casinos offering services and games that have not been tested and regulated by a third party.
- The best available games and bonuses In addition to suggesting these reputable online Ipad Casinos that meet certain criteria set by regulatory agencies, we have also emphasized developers who offer the best games and bonuses.
- A revolution in technology. Live dealers are introduced into the game via webcam, using real-time streaming technology. These professional dealers are filmed every now and then and broadcast to the players via a live conference system. In this way, you can choose dealer and play as desired instead of the data dividing the cards and receiving the rates. These dealers will provide a more human and realistic gaming experience on the internet.
- The movement towards a new standard. Before 2000, the online Ipad Casinos fought among themselves over who had the best games with the best graphics and scenery. In today's online Ipad Casino landscape, we see that live technology has taken over everything, so network operators are constantly looking for innovations and innovation, and we're not surprised if more and more online
- Ipad Casinos adopt this model in the future. A lack of performance. Not all software is ready to accept this type of technology right away. The hardware required from both the operators and users is quite advanced and one needs a very fast connection to maintain that level of quality when using webcam and streaming technology. As a result, not all online Ipad Casinos are ready to adopt this model, although this technology is currently not very fancy. But this also means that we will see many new operators using this technology in the future as the market continues and grow, and the technology becomes cheaper and of better quality throughout the whole range.

Well, this year I did it. I got up in the middle of the night to get ready to go to church for La Danza and Las Mañanitas - the pre-dawn Mexican cultural celebration for Our Lady of Guadalupe. I have wanted to to this for a while, and as the vice chair of our Pastoral Council, I kind of felt I should do this. Maybe I missed them, but the only other "Anglo" I saw in the room besides myself was my pastor, who speaks fluent Spanish. I, on the other hand, speak only a little, understand maybe half of what I hear, and felt a bit like the proverbial tourista.
As I came into the back of church, I recognized Oscar, a talented musician who directs and plays with the 1:00 p.m. Sunday Spanish choir - dressed in full regalia - complete with feather headdress. He smiled and mugged for my camera. Later, he took his place beside the altar and began to beat the drum that summoned about 30 colorfully dressed dancers, mostly women and teens, to the front. For the next 25 minutes they stamped, swayed, spun and shook maracas, in honor of the Virgin, as Oscar drummed out various rhythms. Their performance was beautiful, strange and a bit primitive. Certainly like nothing I have ever seen in church before. The colorful costumes seemed a bit skimpy for a December day in the Midwest, but soon the dancers were mopping their brows from their exertion, despite the chilly room.
Once they had finished, Rosalinda, a parish reader and fellow member of Pastoral Council, stepped up to the microphone and read a long text about the story of Juan Diego and the Virgen. Then, a seven-man mariachi band came up and began to play and sing. I know enough Spanish to know that many of these were, in effect, love songs to the Virgin, singing of her as the "queen of hope" and identifying themselves as Guadalupano, people of Guadalupe - her children. The people joined in most of these,singing by heart and from the heart. Of course, having no music and not knowing them, mostly all I could do was listen and add in the refrain occasionally, when I could pick it out. I could sense their great love, even if I could not fully understand the texts.
Throughout the hour and a half of the pre-Mass celebration, some women, from the back of the church shouted out phrases that seemed to have set responses, almost as if they were cheerleading. I have to admit, this morning was a strangely fascinating if rather foreign experience. I felt a strange sensation of being an outsider, yet not a total stranger. It's my parish, but it's their parish too. Despite the language and culture gap, we all belong, in our own way, to the community of St. John the Baptist. The Virgen is my mother in faith too, even if by adoption. Maybe someday, I will feel more at home with the whole thing. Until then, I will keep stretching my comfort level to join them when I can.

Rejoicing in a World That Has Forgotten Joy
Brothers and sisters:On this, the Third Sunday of Advent, the apostle Paul issues us a challenge to be joyful and prayerful - in all circumstances. That, frankly, can be difficult as the holidays approach - especially for those who grieve.
Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing.
In all circumstances give thanks,
for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thes: 16-17)
Many of you know that two and a half years ago, I lost the most significant person in my life. I am, however, not the only one. Many people have experienced deep and painful loss and face the coming of Christmas with some degree of depression. A time of year that is traditionally focused on family, love, and being with people we care about, can only tap into memories and regrets about the person or persons who are no longer with us. For people of faith who grieve, this time of year can be particularly painful, because the relationship with God may be somewhat conflicted. In the larger context, I believe we live in a world where many people are not only unhappy, they have forgotten, or perhaps seldom, if ever, experienced true joy.
There is a real difference between happiness and joy. One is temporal and temporary, the other runs deeper. A person can, I have found, be unhappy about the circumstances of life, but still have an underlying sense of joy that stems from something deeper. For me, that is from knowing that even if I find it hard to trust God after my experience of great loss, I know instinctively that God has never truly abandoned me and is simply waiting for me to sort it all out.
For people of a secular bent who have little or no sense of the presence of God, superficial, temporary happiness based in possessions (which can be lost) and people (who may either fail us or die) may be all there is. Those who do not have an experience of the love of God, if they lose someone or something significant, have only themselves and their relationships with others to rely on. All of those things are fallible. As Teresa of Avila said: "God alone is enough."
The readings today call us to pray anyway - to pull ourselves out of ourselves and look ahead to the coming of one who is greater than we are and to have faith that in the end, everything will indeed be alright. Only that kind of faith can bring true joy. In the meantime, we are called to hope. Here are two songs, appropriate for this Sunday that for me express this perfectly:

I try to work out in the morning so it's out of the way and it prepares me for the rest of the day. But sometimes it doesn't work out that way or I don't wake up early enough so really, it's just where ever I can fit it in. The important thing is that I make an effort those 4 or 5 days a week to be active and take care of my body. I find that the compilation of short work out videos work best for me. That way it kind of breaks up the workout and I can change up whichever ones I am not feeling that day. The possibilities are endless really and I think that's what keeps me interested!
Do you guys have any favorite Youtube workouts? Send me a link!!

So I'm a big fan of 360 reviews - that's where a person get feedback from their direct reports, their boss, their customers, their peers; and the purpose is to understand what you do well and where you can do better.
Since I'm a fan of these I have also been a fan of what we refer to as - District Reviews as they are a review of our schools and again the goal is to review what is working and what needs to be improved.
The challenge I have seen with the District Reviews is that they are VERY labour intensive. The outcomes are worth it as there are always things to improve but more importantly it is great to get positive feedback about what you are doing well.
So CORE in New Zealand has created EPS - which seems to be very similar to our District Reviews. It is a series of 72 questions which is answered by Admin, Support Staff, Teachers and you can add parents, students and the community at large.
The answers are asked in a series of ways to validate the answers.
Once all the surveys have been completed the reports that is issued gives you a lot of data from what you are doing well, how to improve and what improvement would look like.
As well you are given information of the ranges between the answers - which gives you some idea on the differences of perception.
Well there is a cost, I think the actual cost would be significantly less than what we are spending on district reviews.
Of course there is still some coaching and face to face meetings required to do the Improvement Plans.
This is something I think we should pilot to see if it's effective for TDSB.
