text: On my way to and from my home to our shop I spied this interesting old farmhouse that was slowly being dismantled and I feared may be going to be moved to a new site and I would miss out on seeing it's return to it's former glory. This house has some really lovely features; bay windows, wide sheltered verandas, French doors out onto the verandas, weatherboards, tin roof, brick chimneys and a beautiful front door. Anyway I'm pleased to say the removal of the brick foundations wasn't for the placement of steel beams ready to lift the house off it's foundations and onto a truck. This week the old tin roof has been removed and their were men all over the house working away. I'm going to keep taking photos of this project as it's something I've always dreamed of doing but quite probably will never do in my lifetime. So I will live vicariously and enjoy watching from afar. The property has a name on the gate and with some googling I found a photo of the house when it looked a lot more liveable.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, raisins and 2 cups cooked quinoa; reserve any leftover quinoa for another use.

Is Homeschooling for Your Child? ~ On Nanay Notebook
She has done something I've been meaning to but never got around to doing! ;-) Yey! Praise God! ;-) I've been receiving inquiries about homeschooling (how to know if it's for them, where to start, what to do, how to make it work, etc.) from both people I know and don't know personally, so now I can refer them directly to this post about Mommy Blessie's posts. He, he! Kill two birds with one stone, right? ;-)
So as not to "re-invent the wheel" then, I invite you to learn more about homeschooling, and whether it is for your child/ren and your family by hopping over to the Nanay Notebook posts below:
Is Homeschooling for Your Child, Part I: Bullying
Is Homeschooling for Your Child, Part II: ADHD
Is Homeschooling for Your Child, Part III: Other Reasons
And, last, but certainly not the least, this wonderful post, (bravo, Mommy Blessie!) about Homeschooling and the Working Mom. :-)
I hope this helps you moms (and dads) out there, especially here in the Philippines, in your discernment about homeschooling. Ultimately, I believe that if we truly seek God's will and plan for our lives and our families, He will lead us to the right path, people and resources to help us! ;-)
Prayers for you! ;-) Do say a prayer for us, too, yes?! ;-) And Mommy Blessie's family too - especially since they're expecting Baby no. 4 sometime in September! ;-) I AM SO SURE GOD WILL BLESS THEM MORE AND MORE! ;-)

Mommy Blessie, LOL! ;-) Thank YOU for doing the posts- you saved me a lot of time and effort! Haha! ;-) And yes, may He bless us too, with Thomas Augustine! I am just waiting for my Ate to give birth, after 11 yrs of waiting! :-) I don't want to "hog the limelight," so to speak! Hehe! ;-) Perhaps when Rysse turns 3 in July, we'll go, go, go for it! ;-) *winks* God bless always!
P.S. Remind me to send you an invoice for the publicist fees! LOL! :-)

A friend of mine donated 50 USD to buy winter gear for some of the refugees. What makes this truly remarkable is that we've never met in person–we met as a part of an online writers' critique group!
She sent me money via PayPal (and I held back very inappropriate jokes about needing her mother's maiden name). The next day, I went shopping!
Serbia is a relatively inexpensive country, and I stopped by a couple of second-hand places to gauge prices. After about an hour of looking for deals, I spent about half of her donation on:
- one thick, fluffy scarf
- three hats
- three pairs of heavy-duty gloves
- Three pairs of socks
I proudly took a photo, and two days ago I wore the hat and gloves down to the abandoned warehouse where they "live" and we distribute lunch every day.
The hat was smaller than I originally thought, so I had to find a kid to give it to.
I paused and handed her the hat. She stopped and kinda stared at me, like, what are you doing?
"Here! It's for you. Do you want it?"
In heavily accented English she replied, "thank you."
So I walked away. When I was a little further I turned around to watch her. She looked it over, put it on, and ran to catch up with her dad.
The guy took the socks, still rather confused, and I went back to watching the line. I could hear the younger guy talking to him, pointing to his feet, saying something like, "Dude, they're socks. Put them on your feet" in Farsi.
So I waited until I saw a kid, maybe 12 or 13. He had jeans, a sweater and scarf. But no coat or hat or gloves. So I beckoned him over. He thought I was telling him he could cut in line, so there was a little confusion there. But I handed him the gloves and he took them, dazed, like, "wow, gloves, really?" They're a little big for his hands, but boys that age grow so fast I think it'll be fine.
Tomorrow, once Jordan's over his stomach flu (it's going around–all the refugees and volunteers are getting it), we'll both wear more winter gear and discreetly hand it out to those we see who need it the most.

"Eric, why are you still here?" I demanded. "If you had returned to Avalon when I rescued you last week, half of your Brotherhood wouldn't be in jail right now!"
"What are you talking about, Charles?" he asked indifferently.
"Blob and Toad, along with your children Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver were all arrested and are currently being held in the Vault! And apparently Mystique was captured trying to rescue them," I informed him.
"Really? How could that have happened?" He didn't even bother to turn to look at me.
"It seems Wanda and Pietro went to Avalon, logically assuming you'd be there, to spend Thanksgiving with you. The Blob somehow talked them all going to Hershey, Pennsylvania where they were all arrested."
"Oh, that's right," he said. "The Sweet Lights Christmas in Hershey festival began this week. He never misses it."
"Yes, well, we have to go back to the Vault and break them out!"
"I don't think so," he said, finally turning to look at me.
"What? But they're your people. You have to rescue them!" I insisted.
"No, I don't. I'm quite comfortable here. You go if you want."
And with that, he turned his attention back to the TV, raised the remote and increased the volume. Shaking my head, I rolled out of the room. At least Leech is still here so his mutant nullifying powers will keep Magneto weak while I'm gone.
I grabbed the first five X-Men I saw and lead us to the X-Jet. I was planning to take Jean Grey along but the Beast told me he saw her leave the mansion last night muttering "Emma" over and over.
As Cyclops flew the jet at top speed down to Virginia, Beast asked me, "Professor, could you please delineate the justifications for our intended prison break of our mortal enemies?"
"Well Henry, the intricacies of human behavior and motivations sometimes transcend understanding," I replied.
"What does that mean?" he asked.
"Sometimes knowing the path and walking the path are two different things," I told him.
"If you don't want to tell me, just say so."
Behind us I could hear Wolverine say, clearly loudly enough that he meant for me to hear, "All I can say is, I better get to do my "fast-ball special."
We'll see.

Sunderland have sealed the £10million signing of England winger Adam Johnson.
With Scotland striker Steven Fletcher set to make his debut at the Stadium of Light against Reading on Saturday, manager Martin O'Neill has splashed out £22m in 24 hours to address his side's lack of Premier League firepower.
As Sportsmail revealed earlier this week, Wolves forward Fletcher joined after the Midlands club accepted Sunderland's original £12m offer, with add-ons which could take the deal to £14m.
Having secured his priority target, O'Neill immediately pushed through the deal for Manchester City's Sunderland-born winger Johnson, 24, who had been ostracised by Roberto Mancini, despite being the Italian's first City signing.
O'Neill said: 'Adding quality players to the squad has been our main aim this summer and Adam certainly fits that bill.
'He has terrific ability, great delivery and I'm sure he is a player who will excite our fans. I couldn't be more delighted to have him at the football club.'
Johnson was left out of City's squad for last week's opener against Southampton, four days after winning his 12th England cap.
But after unveiling Fletcher, 25, O'Neill met Johnson for talks. The former Middlesbrough academy graduate, who came close to joining Sunderland under Steve Bruce before opting for City, has agreed to take a pay cut from his £90,000-a-week wages at the Etihad after securing a pay-off.
Johnson said: 'It's great to have signed and it's a fresh start.
'Coming back to the north east and Martin O'Neill were the two main factors, especially the gaffer and listening to what he had to say to me.
'He made it clear just how much he wanted me to come here. To know that and feel wanted and appreciated made me feel that it was the right choice to sign.
'He knows exactly what he wants from his players and from me personally. Hopefully he'll give me plenty of confidence as well.'
Johnson missed out on a trip to Euro 2012 and will hope his latest move could help to revive his international career.
He played 96 times for first club Middlesbrough, scoring 13 goals, before he moved on to City in 2010.
Johnson added: 'I want to perform on the pitch for the fans and I'm just looking forward to getting out there now.'

Healthcare Innovation: Digital Pathways
Published on: 24/05/2017
The digital revolution is making healthcare faster and more efficient, helping doctors to see more patients and save more lives. This programme explores the cutting-edge innovations that are changing healthcare, such as mobile devices and cloud.
Chronic illnesses are a major challenge to the NHS requiring constant routine communication between healthcare providers, leaving doctors doing paperwork instead of helping patients. Introducing a new data management system could radically speed up referrals and discharges, and give doctors instant access to the information they need. While the introduction of mobile ultrasound devices allows General Practitioners to carry out this procedure within primary care.

Investing Your Time As a Teacher
Anyone can write a blog and give advice. It's really easy. Unfortunately, some of the advice I read is terrible. (Obviously nothing on this blog of course!) It's so bad in fact that I've questioned whether or not the people giving said advice have ever even worked in a Japanese school. I've even been given advice by people that claimed to know what life in a Japanese school was like. It seemed like they were just passing on second or third hand knowledge. That being said, here is some advice for you if you plan on being a teacher in Japan. Don't worry, I'm fully aware of the irony.
Don't just sit in the teachers office!
More than likely you will have downtime at your schools. You might have lessons to plan, copies to make, or for in-explainable reasons things to be faxed. While those things are important and necessary (minus the fax machine) might I suggest you find something outside of the office to do. Instead of doing busy work, or finding some storage closet to go sleep in why not do something? Why not invest your time?
The fact of the matter is it can be very easy to "hide" in the teacher's office. I'm pretty sure that's what some of the Japanese teachers do from time to time. But for me, it's that down time that kills me! I'b much rather be out and about. Which is why I like to limit the time I spend at my desk. There are definitely times when I need to be doing actual work in the office. There are also times when you'll just need to sit down or just get away for a few minutes.
I have two reasons why I don't like sitting at my desk. First, I don't like being bored. Being away from my desk helps with that. Second, I also understand that there is some intrinsic value to not being in the office. If your students only see you as a teacher, only see you as that scary foreign person standing at the front of the room, they won't be willing to talk to you. Your job is to teach English after all, so try to be approachable. I guarantee you will see students open up in class and be less afraid of making mistakes. Mistakes are, after all, part of learning.
Let's take one of my students for example. We will call him Kenji (obviously not his real name). By his own admission he is a pretty cool kid. Soccer takes up most of his time. In his opinion English is just an obstacle keeping him from playing soccer. Frankly, he finds English boring. In class he is prone to naps, talking to other students, making far to many requests to use the toilet, or just straight up walking out of class.
This behavior concerned me. So, I took some time outside of class to talk to him. That's how I found out he loves soccer. It's also how I found out he thinks English is boring. I would ask him how soccer practice was going and if his team was any good. Nothing earth shattering, but showing interest in his hobbies. Slowly I started to notice he wasn't sleeping so much in class and his requests for bathroom breaks stopped. I've also noticed he is trying to use English more and his test scores have improved a bit.
Now, let's assume that I never asked him about soccer or talked to him outside of class. Say I only stood at the front of class and walked around with my red pen correcting homework. Would Kenji care about English? Would he even be able to greet me in the hallway or care to for that matter? Maybe, maybe not. But, I'm not willing to take that chance.
So, don't just sit there! Get out of the teacher's office and talk to your students. You'll be surprised in the changes you see and you'll get to learn about your students. Being an English teacher means more than just teaching in the classroom. Get out and invest your time.

Nice sentiment. Couldn't agree more (although I can't say I ever used the fax machine!). In my experience, the teachers room in Japan isn't the sanctuary that it was back home, where it was basically a place you only went when you were in SERIOUS trouble (as a student, I mean)! In my school, I noticed most of the teachers would spend their 'free' time with the students. I followed their lead, and it really helped me in the classroom. I had a better standing with the students, and they were more inclined to listen to me during class (I as you can imagine, I was worth listening to!!!!). You're right, too. The teachers room can be a bit boring and it's good to get out an stretch the legs. I think a lot of people teaching don't appreciate how lucky they are not to be chained to a desk. Nice post. Let's hope others take this advice on board as I think it's worth doing so.
Thanks for the comment! I've been able to be a part of so many things just because I got out of the office. I've helped with stuff during PE, Science and other classes. Most of the time the teachers welcome it...as long as I'm not a distraction obviously.
Some folks use that downtime to study Japanese. Unlike those folks, you feel accomplishment through your teaching post: ideal and inspiring!
Thanks! I`ve tried to study from time to time at my desk. The problem for me is I always feel like I should be doing something.

They launched a new blog, and I think the smartest thing I can do is quote them:
This Blog is part of a new phase for the Community Dolls. We have a new home and what I like to think of as a "new mission."
I'd like to bring all doll players in SL into one larger community where we celebrate what it is to be or be with dolls.
To that end Community Dolls will be hosting at our new home a regular series of open forms/group discussions on a variety of topics related to doll play.
Specifics are not all in place yet but it is my intention that the transcripts of the discussions will be posted here for those who cannot attend live and in person.
This blog will also be used by some dolls as a journal to write down her thoughts on being a doll.
If you like dolls, give it a look.

Have a great weekend!

I had lived in the Atlanta-Metro in the 1990's and thought there was no place in this country I'd rather be again. Maybe I would find my Queen; maybe I would come out of my depression; maybe I would feel differently in a place that had so many Black people. I was excited, but I was also apprehensive for some reason. It wasn't long after I got here that I realized I would need a little help because I didn't really feel any differently after the excitement wore off. I had already gotten hooked up into the VA system in Decatur, got a doctor to dispense my anti-depressants, and a month or two later, contacted them to find a therapist. They told me they didn't have anybody available at the main VA; would I mind talking with someone at a civilian facility that the VA would pay for. I didn't care; as long as I got to speak with a counselor … any counselor. I was tired of feeling this way and hadn't had any kind of consistent therapy in well over a decade.
I began seeing Sylvia, and told her shortly after I started speaking with her that I thought I might be transgender. She quickly mentioned that she saw other transgender people, but it didn't make it any easier to discuss with her. I thought it merely interesting that she had transgender clients, but I was ill-at-ease to discuss anything more than the admittance to her. I knew nothing about what it meant to be transgender other than I felt like a man stuck in a female body. I was still an emotional wreck, very isolated, and very depressed. All I knew was that I had to begin somewhere. I expressed my distress over not being able to get out of depression and cried a lot when I visited her. At first, I saw her every 2 weeks. I lived for my visits with Sylvia, because the rest of my life was virtually non-existent. I slept all the time, only left my house to eat, came home and went back to sleep. Nothing else mattered to me. I wasn't suicidal, but I wasn't living, either. She encouraged me to get out and about constantly, but I couldn't hear her and nothing interested me except playing games on my computer, watching TV, and I had started becoming familiar with Facebook. I hated Facebook at first; as do I anything technical in nature when I first come upon it. Since PC's were invented, I always stayed at least a year behind technology, because I never cared to deal with the bugs introduced in new software. Best to let excited computer-illiterate people deal with new software, because I knew better. Anyway, it wasn't long after I got used to Facebook, that a woman named Doris, from Africa, began to talk with me. She was involved with someone, but was the first young woman who could hold my attention and that I couldn't run away. I used everything I knew to make her go away, but she was so aggressive, I became intrigued with her. I began to sleep less, looked forward to my nightly talks with Doris and visits with Sylvia. So, for the next 3-1/2 years, I had two women who kept me clinging onto life. Doris fell in love with me, but because of her age and distance from me, I just refused to reciprocate her love.
One thing I did begin to do was to research what transgender meant. I looked at surgical photos, watched videos, read articles, but I had not embraced it within myself. I continued to be in lesbian groups on Facebook, flirted with women every once in a while, and never told Sylvia that I was researching the subject. She wanted me to get involved in some kind of volunteer endeavors, but they didn't appeal to me at all. I just quietly researched transgender males. Every once in a while, Sylvia would ask me if I had thought any more about FTMs (Female-to-Males), and I never really answered her positively or negatively. I just refused to discuss it with her. She also wanted me to join her pain-management group, but I didn't think I was in enough physical pain to get anything out of that group, plus it was held in the mornings, which I couldn't stand. I have always been nocturnal, and being retired allowed me to keep my own hours. Plus, there was a 6-hour difference between where I live and Doris, and we always spoke in her mornings. I told her about Doris, but Sylvia didn't understand how I could carry on with someone so far away, so I didn't tell her about Doris for a long time.
Within the 3-1/2 years, I went out just two times in 2013 or 2014 (I can't remember). Once to a lesbian party in a mansion (I was invited to by a lesbian on Facebook), and another time to a bar the same year. I was very uncomfortable at the party, but hung in there until it ended. I met the woman who threw the party, and she was a friendly stud. I still didn't have much to say, and just stood around a smiled. I went back inside, and a very beautiful woman named Jordan came bouncing up to me, introduced herself, gave me a hug, and flitted away. I followed her around, but never had the guts to say anything to her. I watched her dance by herself, and whichever floor she was on, I found myself on the same floor … beating myself up for not having enough courage to have a conversation with her. I'm sure she noticed I always seemed to be near, so while we were around the pool table on the main floor, she introduced me to her stud friend. It was then that she told me both of them starred on the Internet TV series called Studsville. Stardom never impressed me, but I was polite and found a seat to watch women playing billiards. When Jordan went downstairs again, I followed her. People were getting pretty smashed, including Jordan, and that always bored me to tears. Another woman did sit down next to me while I was watching Jordan on the dance-floor in the basement, and she was very talkative. She told me she was there with her stud girlfriend who she thought was too young for her, and told me she was from South Carolina. I don't remember much of what she said, because I kept having a conversation in my head about Jordan. I nodded, said, "Uh huh" a lot, but I wasn't paying much attention to the woman talking my ear off. Her young stud did come up to us, and she introduced me to her. I shook her hand, said it was nice to meet her, and she sauntered away. I had finally decided I had enough of the party, and when I got up to leave, Jordan was standing by the stairs that led to the main floor. I stared into her eyes as I approached her, and she reached out and touched the upper part of my chest. She kissed me on the cheek and said goodnight. What a jolt of electricity I got out of that one touch; it had been so long since a woman touched me. But, I still couldn't say anything, just smiled, and went upstairs to wait for the shuttle to take us all back to the parking lot where our cars were. I went home, went to bed, and the next day, I looked for Jordan on Facebook. I found her, sent her a friend request, and had a few conversations with her. But, I mostly just watched her, things she said on her timeline and inside the group we both belonged to. I quickly discovered that she wanted an OCD stud, which I wasn't, and that was the end of my short obsession with Jordan. I remained friendly with her, and reached out to her every now and then, but I didn't pursue her anymore.
The bar I went to was in Downtown Atlanta, and I was one of the first people to show up. The music was rather good, but there were no chairs, and my foot began to hurt. There was a VIP room, but it cost too much, so I just stood around and watched people come in. They were all way younger than I was, and as the bar started filling up, the music changed and sounded terrible to me. Because I couldn't sit down, my knee began to hurt. I went outside to smoke a cigarette, it was freezing and I didn't have a coat on. After I finished, I limped to my car, left without going back in the club and went home.

A Reflection On Disaster. Series
Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on May 23, 2011 (message contributor)
Summary: A breif reflection on what has been and the plans that God has for us.
I walked back from dropping my car off this morning at the garage for its 'warrant of fitness' and reflected as I walked, on the damage that was all around me from the earthquake that had twisted our city just over three months ago, I also reflected on the day which is clear and bright, a sky with light cloud and the slight drifting chill that is autumn. There were the empty lots and broken facades, buildings closed for business, young fresh green weeds growing where commerce hummed and livelihoods were made, a damaged shop still standing where a life had been lost was now awaiting its demolition, like so many. Cars still moving, people walking and surveying routes to safety, still aware of aftershocks, concern on their faces as they walked under verandas, still going about what is their business, in the open shops and offices, and the shipping container Dairy that a had been installed by a canny businessman to replace his missing building.
The day ahead what would it bring more requests, more work, and progress being made…progress that would take months and years, if ever to replace that which has been lost? For some whose certainty has now shifted beyond their coping, those who choose to stay inside away from it all and those who greave that such a thing could happen…struggling to find someone or something to blame and point the finger at, for such a disaster must be someone's fault.
"God where are you among all," this with the churches that you were worshipped in, so many of which are now but ruins. Or like the Sydenham Methodist Church that was being restored to its structural finery, but now just piles of rubble, short work for a massive yellow digger, blue stone and bricks roughly piled on the lot where sermons were preached, couples married and hymns lifted high to you. "Where oh God are you in this?" "Where are you amidst the brokenness of tornados, floods, wars, famine, disease, the crumbling shatteredness of life after the event, no matter what it is?"
You are there, your word and witness continues in the plans you have for us; we take you at your word you say it through the ages, "For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11)
Lord we seek after you, often it is only in these times when we remember to seek. We 'the people' your real church ... seek.
Lord help me to plan as you plan not in a "worldly manner so that in the same breath I say, "Yes, yes" and "No, no". (2 Corinthians 1: 17b)
As this journey through this place continues, help me to focus on your eternal plan, a plan that results in wholeness, a plan that is about relationship with you, that is centred on your grace and your forgiveness, that is nothing that can be brought or earned but is a free gift through the death and resurrection of your only begotten son.
For you Lord are in the church, in the hearts and minds is where your Spirit 'the deposit of eternity' comforts, encourages and befriends, and helps. I ask Lord please enter in and fill me till I over flow.

A Basic Understanding of Judaism, Christianity, and the Judeo/Christian Bible
Monday, October 22, 2012
A Ikonographic Look at the Papal Hexagram
AT TOP LEFT: A close-up picture of Pope Benedict XVI's Papal hat known as a mitre. The six-pointed hexagram located in the front of the head-piece appears to be a Seal of Solomon, rather than a Star of David. The Church has also tended to refer to most any hexagram as a Star of Creation, or Creator's Star. Historically however, only the Seal of Solomon had triangular lines which were interwoven (or interlaced) with one another.
AT TOP RIGHT: A side by side metaphorical modern history of the Jewish people. From the horrors of Nazi Germany in the 1940s to the founding of Israel in 1948, this 3,000 year journey of the Jewish people has yet to end. Once again, their enemies have been destroyed as they have moved onward and forward, in a noble effort to live on and prosper. The yellow star of David on the left side has the German word Jude (Jew in English) written in the center. Numerous forms of colored badges were used by the Nazis, but the six-pointed Stars of David identifying Jews have had the most historical repercussions so far- as in the slogan- 'Never again'. The blue Star of David on the right side is an exact replica, including the exact color, of the Davidic Star found upon the official, national flag of Israel. In Israel today, this symbol is nearly always referred to as a Magen David (Shield of David in English).
AT BOTTOM LEFT: These two black hexagrams in a all-white background are basic representations of a Star of David, seen on the left side, and a Seal of Solomon, seen on the right. A close enough examination between the two symbols clearly show the three-dimensional qualities of the Seal of Solomon on the right. This optical illusion of interwoven triangular lines occurs simply because of the way it has been drawn. Although the viewer may perceive depth when looking at the Seal, the reality remains that this symbol is just as flat as the Star of David pictured on the left.
AT BOTTOM RIGHT: A six-pointed hexagram carved upon one of the walls of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, the official capital of the Roman Catholic Church. A specifically Christian hexagram is most commonly known as a Star of Creation, or Creator's Star. A close-up inspection of this symbol reveals that, just like the one on top of the Pope's head, this star also has the appearance of interwoven (or interlaced) triangular lines. Thus, the proper term for this particular hexagram would be the Seal of Solomon, rather than the Star of David, a term which the Israelis themselves never use.

What: Shares of SunEdison Inc. (NASDAQOTH:SUNEQ) jumped as much as 14.5% today while its yieldcos, TerraForm Power Inc. (NASDAQ:TERP) and TerraForm Global Inc. (NASDAQ:GLBL), both rose as much as 11% as a convergence of factors lifted the family of companies.
So what: SunEdison's operating chief, Perez Gundin, left the company abruptly last week, something that was revealed to investors on Thursday. This is the same executive who resigned his COO job at TerraForm Power and left the board of directors of that company in November. His presence was likely a thorn in SunEdison's side since he was opposed to some of TerraForm Power's cozy dealings with SunEdison in 2015.
Depending on how you look at the companies, having more alignment among the three could be a good or a bad thing. On the positive side, they can coordinate actions in acquisitions, including Vivint Solar, and help keep the parent company solvent. But it's that exact relationship that some shareholders are trying to fight, feeling the independence of TerraForm Power and TerraForm Global isn't being upheld.
David Tepper, the billionaire hedge fund manager, is leading the charge for TerraForm Power, arguing in a lawsuit that it's not in the yieldco's best interest to buy residential solar assets as part of the Vivint Solar buyout. If SunEdison is forced to complete the acquisition without TerraForm Power's financing, it could threaten the parent company's solvency.
The ups and downs of SunEdison and its yieldcos seem to be based on the market's feelings of the Vivint Solar deal that day. Today, better alignment is seen as a good thing and a way to push forward with their current strategies. But that feeling could change tomorrow.
Now what: Until the Vivint Solar acquisition is resolved, for better or worse, all three stocks have a huge warning sign. There are renewed fears that SunEdison's solvency could be at stake depending on how lawsuits play out in the next month and that's a terrible position for the company to be in. Combine that uncertainty with losses and rising interest costs on nearly $12 billion in debt and it's no wonder SunEdison is in trouble.
The yieldcos should be in a better financial position, but there's uncertainty for them as well. Current dividend yields in double digits make growth nearly impossible and acquisitions from SunEdison made in recent months have arguably been made at higher than market prices. If returns aren't as high as investors expect or interest rates on debt rise -- as they have in the solar industry lately -- both companies could slash dividends and see shares fall even further.

This blog is about my childhood dealing with PAS Parental Alienation Syndrome cause by my mother.I am 32 years old now & it still effects my life.To those who say there is no such thing you have no clue what you are talking about or maybe you don't want it to be recognized because you are the one's doing it to your kids.My heart aches for those children that get caught in the middle & are treated like a weapon against their other parent.

Sorry for not posting lately...
This is partly reply to a comment I had posted to a video on youtube Breaking the Silence: Children's Stories that I think is disrespecting to all men...To let a man hit you you have to have real low self esteem...I do not feel sorry for some one that stays in a relationship that a man an would hit them...No man would hit me for the simple fact that I would not stand for it & I would hit back & he would be seeing stars...What is wrong with you women?? Do not be week & do not result to lies for payback...Some do not like my way of thinking but at least I think for my self & I do not lie & I think that any one that does result in using lies to get even are week self loathing individuals...Grow some balls & take responsibilities for your own mistakes...Do not let a man push you around but then just the same do not make up lies to even the score...Have a little respect for yourself & be the stronger person...You are the one that put your self in the situation that you are in so go about it the right way...Just because you & your significant other might not be working out does that mean that he or she isn't a good father or mother?? Does that mean that there isn't some one else out there that is right for you that can make you happy & be respectful to the situation...The best thing any one can do for there child even if it doesn't work out for the parents is be respectful to the other parent & just get along for your child's sake...Stop blaming he or she for every thing & start taking half the blame for your self because like I said it takes 2 to make it & 2 to break it.Do not tell your child that the father or mother is this or that or no good...just keep those feelings to your self...You are the one that made the mistake in choosing the wrong sole mate so why is the child the one you want to make suffer?? If you are truly abused by your other then you need to learn to be strong & over power the situation & take control...Do what is best for you children not what is best for you!!Marriage is suppose to be for better or worse...You should try to work out your problems not run away from them...Unfortunately not everyone is perfect & people do make mistakes...If you can learn to forgive that you can be happy...Even all the lies that my mother has told I would for give her again if she would just get the proper help...Even though I hate my mother for all the lies that she has told weather they are because of her being vindictive or what I truly believe that she is mentally ill...Maybe bipolar disease....If she were to ask for my help I would help her...She is my mother even when she pisses me off with things that are not true...I do know I never want to be like her...Miserable, lonely & only thing on her mind is revenge against the one who betrayed her...No one is perfect & every one makes mistakes & if you realize this & learn forgiveness then you will be allot better off!!

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
Heb. ya'ar, meaning a dense wood, from its luxuriance. Thus all the great primeval forests of Syria (Ecc 2:6; Isa 44:14; Jer 5:6; Mic 5:8). The most extensive was the trans-Jordanic forest of Ephraim (2Sa 18:6,8; Jos 17:15,18), which is probably the same as the wood of Ephratah (Psa 132:6), some part of the great forest of Gilead. It was in this forest that Absalom was slain by Joab. David withdrew to the forest of Hareth in the mountains of Judah to avoid the fury of Saul (1Sa 22:5). We read also of the forest of Bethel (2Ki 2:23,24), and of that which the Israelites passed in their pursuit of the Philistines (1Sa 14:25), and of the forest of the cedars of Lebanon (1Ki 4:33; 2Ki 19:23; Hsa 14:5,6).
"The house of the forest of Lebanon (1Ki 7:2; 10:17; 2Ch 9:16) was probably Solomon's armoury, and was so called because the wood of its many pillars came from Lebanon, and they had the appearance of a forest. (See BAALBEC.)
Heb. horesh, denoting a thicket of trees, underwood, jungle, bushes, or trees entangled, and therefore affording a safe hiding-place. place. This word is rendered "forest" only in 2Ch 27:4. It is also rendered "wood", the "wood" in the "wilderness of Ziph," in which david concealed himself (1Sa 23:15), which lay south-east of Hebron. In Isa 17:19 this word is in Authorized Version rendered incorrectly "bough."
Heb. pardes, meaning an enclosed garden or plantation. Asaph is (Neh 2:8) called the "keeper of the king's forest." The same Hebrew word is used Ecc 2:5, where it is rendered in the plural "orchards" (R.V., "parks"), and Sgs 4:13, rendered "orchard" (R.V. marg., "a paradise").
"The forest of the vintage" (Zec 11:2, "inaccessible forest," or R.V. "strong forest") is probably a figurative allusion to Jerusalem, or the verse may simply point to the devastation of the region referred to.
The forest is an image of unfruitfulness as contrasted with a cultivated field (Isa 29:17; 32:15; Jer 26:18; Hsa 2:12). Isaiah (Isa 10:19,33,34) likens the Assyrian host under Sennacherib (q.v.) to the trees of some huge forest, to be suddenly cut down by an unseen stroke.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture.

|Back beach with Chiquita Island at the horizon
|Ardisia stand near the beach
|Flower spike
Quick Post: Grande Island has a back beach. It has white sand and a nice view of the West Philippine Sea and the nearby small island of Chiquita. And along the adjacent greenery, there were stands of flowering Ardisia. I am not sure what species this is but to me, it resembles the awnasin or Ardisia pyramidalis growing in the cool areas of Mt. Makiling. Unusual if it is indeed A.pyramidalis, as it is growing wild in the hot coastal areas of the island. I once saw an awnasin growing in hot Manila and suffered greatly. It probably is a different plant.

A victims' organisation has expressed concern at comments made by a Policing Board member, who suggested former RUC officers will have no part in investigating Troubles-related murders.
Speaking at a question and answer session following a screening of the film Ballymurphy – about the eleven people shot by soldiers in that area of Belfast in 1971 – Alliance MLA Trevor Lunn said ex-RUC would not be eligible for the Historical Investigations Unit (HIU). The HIU has been established to replace the Historical Enquiries Team (HET), but will not be operational for two years.
Kenny Donaldson of Innocent Victims United (IVU) said it has repeatedly warned that meeting the "ideological demands" of republicanism – regarding the "the non-acceptability of former security force members" in the HIU – would be unacceptable. Mr Donaldson also said they had received assurances from both DUP and UUP representatives that their parties would not support the HIU if such "inbuilt politically-motivated discrimination," was evident.
A video of Mr Lunn's comments at the Q&A panel discussion in May, involving members of the Ballymurphy Massacre Committee, has been posted online. He told the audience: "PSNI have confirmed that it will take two years to train up officers. It appears that they won't be able to use officers who might have something to contribute to this to form an effective Historical Inquiries Unit".
On Sunday night Mr Lunn said: "Whilst I don't recall commenting about this issue on the night in question, it is an issue that has been raised in discussions about the HET's replacement. Ex-RUC officers may have a contribution to make, even if they are not employed officially as part of the unit."
Earlier this year, chief constable George Hamilton said the HIU will take on the criminal justice element of investigating the past, while a separate truth recovery system will offer bereaved relatives the chance to learn more about their loved ones' deaths, but without any prospect of a court conviction.

Hey Everyone! OMG the internet has me disgruntled today! I think it is Modzilla, which I don't usually use, that is bugging me. I usually use an old version of IE because my boss didn't want to update it to Chrome but it keeps freezing so I decided to give Modzilla a try again. I can't comment on any blogs and of course today I have time to do some blog reading. It just took me forever to get these pictures situated the way I wanted them. I STILL can't figure out how to get the blog posts to update to Facebook when I post. The internet isn't playing nice today. It is the last day of school today too. I am only borderline ready for Summer.
Today I have another mani to show you using the BornPrettyStore circle glitters that they sent me for review. I had a grand plan using the silver and gold glitter but I couldn't quite get that plan executed the way I imagined it so I reformulated the plan and came out with this mani.
I used Essie No Place like Chrome and Good as Gold from the 2012 Mirror Metallics Collection.
I used the gold and silver holographic circle glitter from the Born Pretty Store mini round glitter set.
I started by painting my nails in No Place like Chrome then painting half of each nail in Good as Gold. I couldn't find my ridge filler base coat so you could see every imperfection in my nail. I highly recommend using a ridge filling base coat to smooth out your nails before using the Mirror Metallics.
Unfortunately these two colors almost blended on the nail. It was hard to see the difference between the silver and the gold. I decided to put glitter on the color line to help distinguish the two colors. I used three gold circles on the silver side of the nail and two silver circles on the gold side.
This mani reminds me of a clown outfit for some reason.
The glitter is really awesome and I love them when the light hits them. They were super easy to use especially since I already knew to use the glitter stuck to the lid.
You can see the middle glitter on my index finger in the picture above shows where two pieces were stuck together. I didn't notice until it was on the nail and when I tried to get them apart the one on top slid over just a tad and stuck itself firmly to the mani. At that point there wasn't much I could do other than pretend it didn't exist and that I didn't notice. lol
I really wish I had found my ridge filling base coat before doing this mani because the uneven surface drove me crazy. Thank you Essie for pointing out every.single.imperfection in my nails!
I love these little circle glitter and there are so many different things you can do with them to spice up a normal mani. I would love this glitter in ALL the colors!
There is another set of Round Glitter on Born Pretty Store that appears to be larger circles. I am going to need that set too! I love round glitter and these are really fun.
Just a reminder Born Pretty Store created a special 10% off code for my readers if you use JLG10 at checkout.
That's all for now :)
This product was sent to me for review. All reviews are my honest and unbiased opinion based on my experience using the product.

text: Energizer Holdings recently conducted an "All Ears" survey of 1,065 baby boomers whose spouses suffer from hearing loss. Key findings include: 1. Being hard of hearing can cause hard feelings. About half (47.8 percent) of the respondents feel that their marriage has suffered because of their spouse's hearing loss. Nearly seven out of 10 (64.8 percent) respondents feel annoyed when their spouse cannot hear them. In addition, 16.4 percent feel ignored and 8.1 percent feel sad or hurt. 2. Raised voices become more familiar. More than half (59.8 percent) find themselves talking more loudly so their spouse can hear them. 3. Is it hearing loss, or selective hearing? While 45.3 percent of respondents believe their spouse doesn't hear chore requests, 77.5 percent say their spouse can hear them fix a snack. 4. Nearly half believe their spouse is in denial about their hearing loss. Of the boomers surveyed, 56.8 percent feel their spouse is reluctant to get his or her hearing checked. Nearly half (46.4 percent) feel that denial is the No. 1 reason their significant other is hesitant to get his or her hearing checked. More info: www.energizer.com/livehealthy

"Xeriscaping" is often associated with the accompanying logo, which, ironically, features a drop of water. The intent, I believe, is to emphasize that only a little water is needed for successful xeriscaping.
I recently journeyed through parts of Nevada, Utah, Colorado and Arizona where arid conditions prevail. Xeriscapes were in the majority. Grassy lawns were few. My eyes were opened to the many landscape designs that minimize the expense of irrigation and landscape maintenance, and to the vast array of plants that are suitable for xeriscaping. Far more are available than are used in other parts of the United States. These are things that desert-dwellers already know. They are relatively new to folks like me who are natives to humid, water-rich environments.
I have and will continue to feature plant species and designs that could save you a lot of time and money normally spent on conventional, high-maintenance landscapes. For past articles, check out this search link on xeriscaping.
What do you think about this concept? Does xeriscaping sound interesting to you? Are there particular types of plants or landscape design applications that you'd like to learn more about? Let me know in the comment section.

SACRAMENTO — Asan Akbar, the U.S. Army sergeant accused of a grenade attack that killed two fellow soldiers and injured 14 others in Kuwait, phoned his ex-wife's family about a day before the attack and asked that they say "final prayers" for him, according to sources familiar with the conversations.
Akbar, a Muslim, told his former in-laws that he was concerned he might die without having made the hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca that all Muslims are expected to make at least once. He promised to send his ex-wife's family money to travel to the holy city in Saudi Arabia on his behalf the sources said.
Akbar's former in-laws have described the telephone call to federal investigators, who are intrigued by it, according to sources familiar with the investigation who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Akbar's words, coming about a day before the attack on his comrades, could be evidence of premeditation. But his comments could also be interpreted simply as the fears of a military man about to head into combat.
Authorities say Akbar, 31, rolled grenades into each of three tents at Camp Pennsylvania in Kuwait where officers and noncommissioned officers were asleep early Sunday, then shot at least two fellow soldiers as they fled from their tents.

Day 7 Thursday 27th June
I lay in bed listening to the breathing of Hubby and Son. It's dark in the cabin but behind the curtain I see that it's starting to get light. I tiptoe out into the breaking day. The still of early morning is a magical time on the sounds, I'm not missing this. I clamber over hubby and tiptoe outside to see where we are. Mist is snaking and curling in drifts further up the sound. Birds are calling and somewhere around there is a minor waterfall creating a soothing background patter. The moon is shining silver brightly against the pale blue. It won't photograph other than as a reflection in the darker water.
As the light intensifies green begins to emerge from the palette of greys and black. The sky is blue with occasional clouds. The cold begins to seep through and I retire back to the warmth of the cabin. A sample of Mandy's lovely shortbread is irresistible on the way!
At about 8.30 Mandy and Dave are up and about, and the generator is started. Brekky is underway.
We string out as we round the corner. So peaceful. Time in the wilderness away from the hordes of mankind is vital to the spirit. We paddle and pause. Listen. Watch the reflections in the mirror of the inky water; the ripples and tiny whirlpool created by gentle paddling. Watching the shoreline, I imagine a Maori warrior bursting from the forest and giving a challenge, I paddle on. Eventually we hear the chugging of the Tutoku II underway. Son sits quietly in his kayak. I catch up. He doesn't need to tell me what he's feeling, I can see it in his face. Anyway I'm not sure there are words that would convey the magic of this experience. We chat quietly and paddle together back towards the boat. The reflections are even better when heading back. We glide across a mirror. I enjoy watching the the little whirlpools of turbulance created by my paddle.
We relax as we cruise down Crooked Arm warming ourselves inside and talking. What a contrast in Crooked Arm to when last I was here! It was an enormous wall of cascading water then. Now it's the forest and ferns and occasional tiny trickles that you have to look hard to find...and the mirror of course.
We head back out into the main body of the fiord and are summoned by Dave to the bridge, he's got some commentary to provide. We head across to Blanket Bay, and up to explore Hall Arm and make our way back to deep cove as we munch on warm scones with jam and cream.
Among our conversation, Son relates the story of a dinner he had with some foodie colleagues in San Francisco one time. This restaurant was pretty extreme on the service level. Son shakes his head recalling it. We laugh as Dave points out that next time, when he goes out with those guys and they're exchanging service level stories Son can impress them when he tells them about the waiter he had on Doubtful Sound who just jumped in the water and caught us a lobster for dinner! Haha. Too right!
We pack up and disembark when the time comes. We need to be back at West Arm for the 4.30 Real Journey's trip back across Lake Manapouri. While Mandy and Dave unload the boat and put her back at her mooring. Richard, Mandy's partner also gives a hand. He's come over to sort out a problem with the van. We make a start on a walk along the road and once again we'll be picked up by the van as it passes.
We arrive back at West Arm in plenty of time. We 5 passengers find a table together on the boat and chat as we travel across the lake. This is a new boat only 18 months old and has wonderful big picture windows. Dave used to work for Real Journeys and has confirmed my impression that Real Journeys make a substantial investment in asset management. Their boats always look very schmick. As we near the end of the cruise, Son and Z exchange contact details. They'll catch up if Son and his girlfriend end up in New York at the end of the year.
Back on solid ground, we say goodbye to Z and A. They're heading for the return coach to Queenstown and then they head up to Rotorua. Joining the Doubtful Sound overnight from Queenstown has been easier than they expected, though it demanded an early start yesterday. Mandy gives us a lift back to Acheron Cottages. It's getting dark now. It would have made sense to stay another night. We say our goodbyes and each head our separate ways, my head filled with schemes for how to get Daughter1 back on Doubtful for the fishing and maybe some diving.
So… in the wash up. I hear you wondering. What operator should you go with? Which trip is better. I went with Real Journeys on the Fiordland Navigator last time when I was here with my Mum, Sister and Daughter1. That has about 70 passengers. I think I've had phenomenal luck. The larger boat designed for enabling viewing through huge picture windows is handy in the storm, especially for the squeamish or those that due to age or infirmity can't risk getting cold or whatever while viewing. Certainly it was ideal for my Mum in the wet. Yes, there's a lot of people, but it's a big boat and that's not a problem. We never felt crowded. In the fine weather we've had this time, the smaller boat and the fishing is ideal. The intimate party has been great too and we've enjoyed making new friends. Obviously you don't get Lobster for dinner on the Real Journey's trip either or blue cod. Of course you can't make your choice based on the weather because you don't know that until the day.. look, do eeny meeny miny mo if you have to. Either trip is wonderful.
We toy with the idea of just staying in Manapouri another night given that we'd be setting out late, when ice risk is higher. However my companions are in favour of sticking the plan. Thankfully we've had a pretty good night's sleep last night, so we get underway. I ring ahead to confirm with our accommodation in Arrowtown, no worries there. We have an uneventful drive in the dark. Driving in the dark is also not the ideal because you are missing the scenery, but at least we're back tracking, so we've seen the great majority of this route the other day. Time over I would either get the coach down or stay another night in Fiordland.
In Arrowtown we're staying at the Settler's Cottage Motel. We check in and take our host's recommendation of the Postmaster's Residence for dinner, just a short walk away. As we're entering a couple ahead of us comment that there's a log fire here. Just what we need. There's also several options for warming drinks. Son has a lemon, honey and ginger option and hubby tried a hot toddy. Our meals are very nice and the ambience is great too. Service is fine. A lovely end to a wonderful day.
Back to our cottage, where we are very comfortable. Another excellent TripAdvisor recommendation.

And In This Corner: Floyd Mayweather, Jr.—Undefeated Champ, Women-Beater
In the second of a six-part series, GQ contributor _Will Leitch writes about the bout that's been nearly six years in the making. _See his first column here.
Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is a terrible person. Now, ordinarily, I—a deeply flawed human being like everybody else—would be hesitant to label any of God's complex creatures "terrible," or at least more terrible than the rest of us. The universe contains multitudes, who are any of us to judge, without sin first stone, and so on. But to go through Mayweather's dossier, specifically with regard to how he treats women, it is difficult to argue that we aren't dealing with an unusually warped mind here. Many athletes have trouble with the law, or dealing with life outside their field of expertise. But few athletes:
*** Swing a car door into the head of—and then repeatedly punch—the mother of one of his children.
*** Punch her again in a Las Vegas mall and then flee the scene before the police arrive.
*** Attack, at a Vegas nightclub, two friends of the woman who had mothered Mayweather's three other children.
*** Pick up and "shake" a female security guard who had responded to that incident.
*** Kick, punch, and drag that second mother out of a car, causing "a facial laceration."
*** Invade the woman's home, refuse to leave, and after eventually leaving, return at 5 a.m. with a friend, threaten his own children, and relentlessly beat the woman in front of them. To the point, she still believes, that had their son not alerted the police in time, she would have been killed.
(Of course, Mayweather denies all of this. A hat-tip to Daniel Roberts, whose definitive Floyd Mayweather, Serial Batterer piece for Deadspin does a great job detailing the various allegations and wrongdoings above.)
Last September, Ray Rice and one elevator video sent us into A Very Serious Conversation About Domestic Violence And Sport, plunging America's most popular game (and perhaps most popular cultural touchstone) into a year-long public relations nightmare. But however horrified you might have been by Rice and that video, that's still just one confirmed incident, one for which Rice has begged forgiveness and for which his wife continues to publicly stand by him. You can (justly) argue that that doesn't absolve Rice of anything, but Mayweather doesn't even have that sort of support on his side.
Yet Ray Rice is a pariah who will likely never play football again, while Mayweather is about to headline the biggest pay-per-view in American sports history. Rice will forever stand for domestic violence; Mayweather, despite far more (and equally brutal) incidents, stands more for having a mouth guard made with $100 bills. This is partly because of the nature of each sport's media—Mayweather is a meal ticket in boxing that Rice has never been—but the contrast is still stark. Mayweather has skirted this issue most of his career, and considering he's 38 years old, it's difficult to see how that might change. (Besides: Only God can judge him.) If he hasn't had to pay for it yet, why would he have to in the future?
The question is, frankly: Does this matter? Obviously, it matters to the women, but if the last 10 years of Floyd Mayweather's career have taught us anything, it's that nobody actually seems to care about the women. I'm talking about whether it should matter to us, the people who will be watching this fight, the people who have been clamoring for it for so long. Are we bad people just for tuning in?
On one hand: Obviously, yes we are. The thrill we all experience watching Mayweather box has been the primary reason he's been able to get away with this for so long in the first place. We can grouse about a repeated woman batterer facing so little consequence for his actions that he can wear a mouthguard full of $100 bills and everyone will think he's cool for it, but we're the ones who have allowed that to happen. We're the fuel to that engine, and to deny that is to fool ourselves.
On the other hand: Hey, it's entertainment. If we're going to start playing the "I can't support the entertainment venture this person partakes in because he or she is a terrible person" games well, we're going to have a hard time finding an entertainment venture that meets your exacting standards. I have a friend who won't eat at Wendy's because late founder Dave Thomas was a pro-life advocate; I'll confess a little twinge when I eat an oh-so-delicious Chick-fil-A sandwich considering the CEO's views on gay rights are the precise opposite of mine. But if I start boycotting food providers on account of the views their ecutives hold, I'm going to starve. If I like boxing, or football, or listening to music, or going to the movies, or stepping outside my house, eventually I'm going to come across someone whose work I enjoy but whose personal conduct is something I cannot abide. _Chinatown _is one of the best American studio films ever made despite the fact that Roman Polanski is an admitted rapist. And I'm sorry, but nothing is ever going to change the fact that O.J. Simpson is one of the greatest running backs of all time. We make these sorts of deals with ourselves all the time.
But, of course, if you love Chinatown, you can say it's because of Jack Nicholson, and if you cheer for the Ravens, you can say it's because of Joe Flacco; you can rationalize rooting interests through compartmentalization and ex-communication. It's more difficult with boxing: There's no team to displace your fandom. When you are cheering for Floyd Mayweather—or at least betting on him—you are cheering for a man, and just that man, to beat up another man for your amusement and/or profit. This is the appeal of boxing, and also its flaw: Its primal nature offers no illusions about precisely what you're watching, and what it means. Strip it all away, and you're looking at two men, and nothing else.
So should you be cheering for Manny Pacquiao (a man who, sure, might have his own lighter, goofy issues in the spotlight) instead of Mayweather? Is it really that sort of zero-sum morality game? Floyd Mayweather might be the best bor of all time, a man who is _this _close to making it through an entire professional career undefeated, taking out his longtime tormentor in one of his final fights. It's not just the subtext to the fight: It's the text. It's the commanding storyline.
As a sports fan: This would be an incredibly exciting thing to watch happen. Beating everyone you've ever fought—particularly the guy people have accused you of ducking for years and then sauntering off the conquering hero is _exactly _the sort of storyline sports fans love to cheer for. I mean: Undefeated, man. That's the reason we watch all of this stuff in the first place.
At the very least: I want to see him, one of the greatest of all time, perform at the peak of his abilities. So maybe I'm rooting for Mayweather a little bit?—or at least the sports fan part of me is. The human being in me wants to see him get the crap knocked out of him. But after a few beers, the sports fan part has a tendency to stuff that human guy in his locker.
I'm obviously not alone in this: The fight's gonna cost $98 to order, and millions of you are going to pay it. Maybe bors' lives outside the ring are just one more piece of theater to be discarded once they step in. It doesn't matter to us who they are beforehand; it only matters what they are that night. Two men enter. We cheer for one, or we cheer for the other. And then when they leave the ring, we wash our hands of both of them, and they're on their own. It might not be moral, but it does feel sane.
Will Leitch_ is a senior writer at Sports On Earth, culture writer for Bloomberg Politics, contributing editor at New York Magazine and the founder of Deadspin. He will be writing for GQ this month on the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight._

If you're reading this, my wisdom teeth are out.
Did I lose my wisdom?
Halloween may be over but you can still pair your candy with wine. However, maybe focus more on the wine since candy is laced with lead. The truth behind memes aren't always funny as the tale of Sanjay and Durgesh sadly reveal. The feel-good story of the women and their dogs saved at sea was great until their story was questioned. The death a dog is heartbreaking but, for some, it can be a call to unite to celebrate puppies.
I hope not.
That was your weekend link.

Hello all,
First, I must start by thanking every one of the Co+op's member/owners and customers who have stuck with us through this time of transition. If you have not met me yet, I am Scott Brelsford, the store's new general manager, and I am here for a reason. That reason is simple: to make the Los Alamos Cooperative Market the best grocer in Los Alamos. The method of doing so is quite simple; let me explain.
We have neglected you as customers, taken you for granted. Your needs and wants are no longer going to be overlooked. No more unfulfilled promises and poor attention to detail accompanied by poor customer service. That is no way to operate a cooperative. We are moving forward, embracing both the cooperative spirit and the challenge of winning over a customer base that, frankly, has its reasons to doubt us.
This begins with the staff. Proper training, teaching, and orientation processes are being put in place in order to empower our staff—for them to take responsibility for their jobs. Excellence will be the new normal here, and everyone will be expected to play a part in the Co+op's success. In return we will provide the support, encouragement, and rewards that one would expect to receive from a responsible employer. I encourage you all as customers to talk with the crew, and gauge for yourselves if we are meeting this goal. We want to be the best place to work in Los Alamos, and we have our work cut out for us to get there.
I am not the only new manger in town. Cara Fazio brings a decade of cooperative experience to the team as the new outreach coordinator. Rebekah Valentine has moved up through the ranks of our store and is now our new front end manager. Christopher Laino takes over the deli on October 15 as the new manager.
So when I say change is in the air, I mean it. We have a long way to go to reach our goals, and we will never stop striving to improve. But we cannot do it alone; we need your help. Your feedback about what we are doing well, and just as importantly, where we are falling short of expectations, is key for our growth and improvement. This will not happen overnight. This is an ongoing process during which we will need your patience and guidance as we take it one bite at a time. My promise to you is that before you know it, we will look back and be miles and miles ahead of where we started.
My cell phone number is 785-236-1359. Call me and set up a time to talk. If you care enough about the Co+op to pick up the phone, I care enough to hear what you have to say.
Alternatively, come by the store on October 17 for Member Appreciation Day to meet me, the Board of Directors, and our staff and management team. We'll be grilling up grass-fed burgers, handing out samples and giveaways, and offering a 10 percent discount on store purchases. Please join us as we kick off a new chapter at the heart of the community on the edge of town.
Scott Brelsford
