Chuck Colson: Soothing the Church to Death
Soothing Ourselves to Death; Should we give people what they want or what they need?
Charles Colson, Christianity Today, April 5, 2006
"[O]ne Sunday morning, I cracked. We'd been led through endless repetitions of a meaningless ditty called "Draw Me Close to You," which has zero theological content and could just as easily be sung in any nightclub. When I thought it was finally and mercifully over, the music leader beamed. "Let's sing that again, shall we?" he asked. "No!" I shouted, loudly enough to send heads all around me spinning while my wife cringed."
Dr. Sam Storms, Enjoying God Ministries, respectfully disagrees.
What about you? Does every song sung in church need to be theologically rich? Is what someone "wants" always mutually exclusive from what they "need?" Isn't it all about the heart of the worshipper, anyway?
What say you?

Dogs And Our Personalities: Which Breeds Match Who We Truly Are?Julie Hunt
For many of us, our lifestyles greatly affect what works out best for our selection of pets. If we are active, then an active dog makes sense. If we love the water, then a water dog makes sense…Get it? Well, this video explains a bit about that. But the reoccurring theme is this: ANY DOG IS A GOOD DOG 🙂

I'm all set to go, bright and early this morning. It's not a quilty trip, but a fun field trip with a bunch of fourth graders to the Home of Snoopy -- Knott's Berry Farm! YEP, I'll even get to ride the school bus too! LOL
Hannah and I had to be at the school at 7:30 am to check in. Then, the school buses head out at 8am, and we'll be back at school by 3:30pm. It's a learning field trip, so the kids will get a walking tour behind the scene and then TWO rides.
I'll be bringing my camera for the yearbook, so will post some pictures later.
Have a great day!

The Mars Bar still has a following around the world, but here in the U.S. we've been relegated to eating Twix and Snickers as the milk-chocolate bar was stripped from store shelves in 2002. (And even that bar wasn't the same sweet treat you could purchase across the pond; the American recipe was slightly different than the international sensation.) But now, Ethel M Chocolates, a subsidiary of Mars, Inc., is bringing the OG Mars Bar to the U.S., so we Americans can finally enjoy the chocolate from the comfort of our homes (or at least domestic airports).

Thoughtful Conservative: sad is that 42% of americans think the president intervened to lower gas prices before the nov. elections, and that 65% of those people were democrats
me: this from the kid that thinks we found wmd in iraq?
Thoughtful Conservative: this from the kid who has seen credible articles showing that decayed biological weapon residue inside weapons
me: you do realize that decayed means no longer working, right?
like, depleted shells aren't exactly going to cause mass destruction?
Thoughtful Conservative: yes, this i know, they are not themselves wmd´s but the decayed remains of them. sorta like, we find dinosaur bones and go, these must have lived here at some point in the past
me: yeah, but you wouldn't say there were dinosaurs in iraq, either
Thoughtful Conservative: that there had been dinosaurs and since we knew how many dinos we sold them and how many were used. we did math and found there were some unaccounted for
me: so, when we invaded iraq, did we go to war, because dinosaurs were there?
about to go Jurassic Park on us?
Thoughtful Conservative: that have been found to date, no. we did because they were unaccounted for, and who knows where they are nowfinding decayed remains has shown that there were dinosaurs once in iraq
me: but 65 million years ago isn't exactly an imminent threat
Thoughtful Conservative: i agree, the time span is the achilles heel
me: yes, after you put the heel through a woodchipper
Thoughtful Conservative: only a flesh wound

The first ever 3D printed laptop case for standard PC components has become a reality after many months of trials.
Why a 3D printed laptop case? Because you can now print out a case and fill it with the parts you like. There have been several cases for Raspberry Pi, but to our knowledge none so far for standard PC components.
All the files have been released under an open source license. Thanks to the persistent work of community member eoma of the rhombus-tech.net it is finally a tangible reality. Everyone can benefit from the results as the design was released under the GPLv3 license, so it is essentially open source hardware.
Find the code and files in this repository.
The laptop case can accommodate a 15.6 inch LCD screen, a full-sized keyboard with a Numpad, a 4.3-inch touch panel, a 5000mAh battery, USB ports and an internal 802.11n WiFi module. Of course, this case is just a prototype approach. It's designed for nothing other than testing permits further modifications for different specs.
To create the nineteen individual parts needed for the assembly of the laptop case, a total of twenty-two meters of 3.0 millimeter PLA material was used. The development of the final version was only possible after "wasting" over two hundred meters of filament and many printing hours, though.
The most difficult part of the process was the printing of the touch panel tray, which refused to stick on the build plate. Other than that, the assembly went smoothly with bolts securing all parts in place, boasting good rigidness even in points of increased wear and tear like the lid hinge. The keyboard was also an exact fit, leaving no gaps and generating no pressure on the casing sides.
This is another case where 3D printing comes handy to those who dare to go beyond what is seemingly possible. All that is needed is a large enough community of enthusiasts, time and filaments.

Powerful Women of Game of Thrones
The reason why I love watching HBO's Game of Thrones is because of how the female characters are presented. Each of them were placed on different circumstances where they have to face danger and overcome complicated situations.
Women in this series are not viewed as weak. Rather, they possess qualities that displays bravery, courage and intelligence. Whether they are in a position of power or not, they won't just submit to cowardice. These women knows that being weak will result to nothing so instead of giving in to despair, they armed themselves with knowledge, exercised good judgment and some had even used fighting skills.
Who are they and why they are powerful? It will take a lot of time to write every one of them so I selected the obvious choices who had shown that girl power rules!
Cersei Lannister
The first female persona I though of which represents power is none other than the queen itself. It's obvious that she is on this list because first, she is already on a position of power being the Queen Regent of the Seven Kingdoms. Cersei is someone who will do anything to protect what are hers. She's won't think twice of doing immoral things just to secure her power. This girl is ready to fight tooth and nail without losing her calm. Even though she is a cold-hearted queen, we have to give credit on how she handles herself especially on desperate times. She is cunning and can manipulate people. Her schemes might be something that we hated her for but you gotta admire her guts to perform them.
Daenerys Targaryen
The Mother of Dragons is definitely a force to reckoned with! She got an army and she have dragons! Daenerys used to be this quiet, shy girl but due to certain events in her life, she became a strong independent woman who become a great ruler and savior of slaves. She is just and knows how to weigh down her decisions. People back in Westeros are even afraid of her and they haven't even seen her.
She is a perfect example of a woman who overcome discrimination as she didn't let herself be intimidated by the men surrounding her.
Arya Stark
Arya Stark, is the third child of Lord Eddard and Lady Catelyn Stark who has a tomboyish character unlike her sister Sansa. She is not your typical girl as Arya prefers swords and exploration over embroidery and poetry. Her strengths include being fast, skillful and slyness.
She learned how to use a sword and became someone who you don't want to mess around with. For someone who witnessing a lot of death in the family, you would be impressed by how she handled it.
Arya might not be a queen or a ruler but in her own way she proved that girls can fight and be equal to men as well. She is a fighter and she will do anything just avenge those who wronged her and her family.
Brienne of Tarth
Brienne is the only heir of Lord Selwyn Tarth of Evenfall. She is called Brienne the Beauty jokingly because of her unladylike appearance. Her body structure can be compared to the likes of a man, flat-chested and muscular and she's very tall. However Brienne is loyal to those who treat her well. She have high respect to people who had shown genuine kindness to her and had befriended them.
She is someone who also wants equality and it's one reason why she chose the path of knighthood. This is also a way for her to prove that women can be good in combat too and that society should accept that fact. Brienne may have lacked something with her appearance but she is honest, candid and adamant in any situation she's in.
Margaery Tyrell
Beauty and brains. This is a perfect description for our next powerful women. Margaery Tyrell, is the envy of any women but most especially by Cersei. She is very intelligent and good at scheming as well. Unlike Arya and Brienne, Margaery shows her strengths through her ability to manipulate people like her grandmother. She is well educated and interested with politics.
The small people such as the beggars loved her which dismayed Cersei (her mother-in-law). She always reaches out to the poor getting their favor all the time. Although Margaery is also someone who have a thirst for power, she still has her compassionate side. She had even felt pity towards Sansa who she became friends with, when she is forcibly married to Tyrion Lannister.
Sansa Stark
Many might disagree with me that Sansa is a powerful woman. However, if you will consider the things that she had experienced from the hands of the Lannister (especially with Joffrey), you will be amazed by how she was able to tolerate it. She was treated cruelly, physical, mental, emotional abuse... you name it. But Sansa didn't lose hope. You didn't see her thinking of ending her life because of these.
Deep inside, Sansa has this fighting spirit. I'm beginning to think that she's getting better with lying and being cunning which became an advantage for her. Because of this, she was able to escape the complicated life she had. Sansa's powers comes to her ability to hide her feelings and being able to deceive people. She may be quiet but underneath that, you wouldn't know that she's just waiting for the perfect time to reveal herself and claim justice.
Respect for women of power
These women are just fictional characters but that doesn't mean people like them doesn't exist in real life. On the contrary, these characters represents women we saw in our daily lives. They can be our own mother, sister, teacher, neighbor who have struggles in life but had shown strength and fighting spirit.
We should respect these women and provide equal rights no matter what religion or race they belong to. The show contains political issues as well which can be compared to what we have been experiencing today and you can see that there are some things that hasn't been changed yet. It's time that we open our eyes and respect one another.
I haven't watched it before but it certainly looks interesting especially the women you portrayed on this hub.
These women do look powerful and influential. It is really what we all want to represent in life. Interesting post!
Hi, yes its an amazing program isn't it? I love all the battles and the women are really strong in it, great hub, and interesting too, nell

Saturday, March 12, 2016
By CHRIS GAROFOLO
Staff Writer
NASHUA - Campaign finance reform and government accountability activist Dan Weeks announced this week he will seek the District 5 position on the New Hampshire Executive Council.
Weeks, of Nashua, will run as a Democrat against incumbent Councilor David Wheeler, a Republican who is in his fourth term on the five-member executive body that oversees gubernatorial appointments and large state contracts. He will hold an official campaign kickoff at 10 a.m. on Saturday, March 19 in Railroad Square before heading to the Walk to Stop Heroin an hour later in Greeley Park.
"More than a particular partisan ideology, I feel like my commitment is to a fair and representative process and to accountable, good governance," said Weeks, a 12th-generation Granite Stater.
"It struck me - folks have kindly encouraged me to think about politics for a while now - and as we were wrapping up the primary and I was pondering where I could make the biggest impact over the next couple of years ... it struck me that the job of the Executive Council, even though it is often pretty unknown, is basically about good governance," he added. "The job there is not to advance a particular ideology. That's what the Legislature's job is."
District 5, which was redrawn by a Republican-led Legislature and signed into law by Democratic Gov. John Lynch in 2012 based on the latest federal decennial census, covers all of Greater Nashua up to the town of Hillsborough and as far west as Richmond and Swanzey.
In his first conversations about seeking the council seat, Weeks said the body serves as the "eyes and ears" of New Hampshire taxpayers. He praised the work of former Councilor Ray Burton, the longest serving member in state history who was known for his tireless service to his constituents regardless of political party, and outlined issues where he sees a clear divide with Wheeler given the Republican's stances against Planned Parenthood funding, commuter rail for southern New Hampshire and solar energy projects.
"There are a couple of issues where I think ideology has spoiled the council, and the council's job isn't to make that policy but to represent the needs of constituents," he said.
"I think people should vote for the good of the district, in their own families' interests. And some folks will take a look at me and my positions and will disagree, and that's OK," he continued. "I grew up in the western part of the district, went to ConVal (High School) and live out here in Nashua. I feel like I have a decent sense of what our district needs, and I feel like that's just not being represented."
A native of Temple, Weeks served with AmeriCorps as a teenager to work on democratic development abroad after hearing the inspiring words of Doris "Granny D" Haddock as a student at ConVal. He began working with her in 2000, taking over the campaign reform-based Open Democracy in 2014, focusing on the influence of money in elections.
On Thursday, Open Democracy announced Weeks would step down from his role in the organization. Brian Beihl, of Antrim, will serve as interim director until a new executive director is hired.
When asked if he would take any special interest money, Weeks swiftly responded with a "No, sir" and wished for a campaign finance system where candidates did not have to worry about raising large amounts of cash.
"I think it's possible to run a small donor-powered campaign, and that's the challenge I'm setting for myself," he said, hoping to raise small amounts of money from dedicated supporters in each of the District 5 towns. "I'm excited that the state is finally moving to an online campaign finance system. It's voluntary, but that is where I registered my committee so it's there and transparent for anyone to see."
Weeks, a graduate of Yale University, worked with bipartisan leaders, such as the late Sen. Warren Rudman and Gov. Walter Peterson, and helped grow the organization into a well-known political action group designed to increase government transparency and accountability.
During the 2016 New Hampshire primary, he led the N.H. Rebellion campaign to get presidential candidates to address the issue of big money in politics. Weeks previously served as a columnist for The Telegraph until recently when he decided to seek public office.
He and his wife, Sindiso, a human rights lawyer and professor originally from South Africa, live in downtown Nashua, where Weeks volunteers at the Nashua Soup Kitchen and Shelter and serves on numerous nonprofit boards.
Wheeler, who served extensively in both chambers of the Statehouse, was first elected to the council in 2000 and later served terms in 2003, 2011 and 2015. His current seat expires in 2017 and the longtime lawmaker has not made a decision if he will run for a fifth term.
"Nothing 100 percent yet, but that's the plan at the moment," Wheeler said on Friday afternoon. "Within the next month or so we'll decide for sure."
A lifelong resident of Milford, Wheeler has served as the town selectmen's representative to the Nashua Regional Planning District and on the Milford Area School Space Needs Committee and traffic safety committee. During his three terms in the Senate and two in the House, he served as Majority Whip in the Senate and was a ranking member of multiple committees.
"I enjoy the job, I try to do the best I can to get the best bang-for-the-buck for the services for the state," he said.

From the back cover:
As Cole begins to accept her new life as Akhet, every new vision from her past helps explain more about who she is in this life. Her love for Griffon grows as quickly as her Akhet abilities, while Cole learns to recognize other Akhet around her, including Drew, a young millionaire who reveals a startling connection - he was Cole's true love in Tudor England. But Drew's intense desire to restore their past relationship alienates Griffon. Caught between the person she was in the 15th century and the person she is today, Cole must decide who she loves and quickly figure out her place in the Akhet's worldwide plan as a rogue member threatens to destroy them all.
I LOVED diving back into Cole's world and hope you all enjoy it in June!

Al Jarreau, I will miss your smooth, silky sweet voice. I will miss your beautiful smile and your soulful way of digging down into a song.
I will miss how you changed with the times and kept your vocal chops relevant. I will miss your ability to put some bounce in our steps or calm us down and mellow us out. Your way of giving us a few moments when listening made us feel a bit hopeful for our day, our world.
"I hope you don't mind that I put down in words how wonderful life is while you are in my world...," because even though you are gone from it, your voice is still here with us.
And, that continues to give me hope. Thanks for the music, Mr. Jarreau.
Namaste' Till Next Time,

I had a question or two about the DDS 5900 Digital Discussion System by Shure. I understand that you "Daisy Chain" the microphones together and send the signal back to a main hub? We have a conference room where we would like to have in-room sound reinforcement with a system such as this and we would also like to tie it into a video conferencing system. If one of the links in the chain fails (Microphone) will that cause an issue with the others?
The DDS 5900 series units daisy-chain using shielded Cat5e cable and communicate through a proprietary communication protocol called DCS-LAN. Both power and data are sent through this chain.
Each delegate unit is comprised of two main pieces. A special DIS gooseneck mic plugs into a DC 5980 P table-top portable unit or a DC 5900 F flush mount unit. In general, if a delegate unit (DC 5980 P or DC 5900 F) fails, it can affect one or more units throughout that DCS-LAN chain. If only the removable DIS gooseneck mic fails, though, the rest of the system should be fine.

>It's growing!
Look at all those bubbles! It even smells like delicious bread, as opposed to terrible ass.
When it doubles in size between feedings, ideally in only 8 hours as opposed to 12, then I've raised a proper hydration starter.
We'll see how much it grows tomorrow. Perhaps I may be able to make a real sourdough loaf this weekend. Which I can't wait for – this week is killing me. Nothing like sitting next to your boss for 6 out of 8 hours of your workday as you try to figure out how the hell this new system works. I'm losing my mind.
And all I want to do is work on Stone Lake revisions, which are going swimmingly.
It's lightninging out–we really need the rain–and I need to go to bed, because we're going running in the morning.

Tip Top Curry Puff really tip top quality!
Craving for curry puff?
Here is a good recommendation!!!
TIP TOP Curry Puff (Halal) since 1979! I have been eating curry puffs from this store since I was young.
Tip Top Curry Puff @Hiap Hua kopitiam(Right behind Jubilee)
Address: 722 Ang Mo Kio Ave 8 #01-2843
Opening Hours: Daily 9.30am to 9.30pm
Website: http://www.tiptop-puffs.com/
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tiptopcurrypuff
Tip Top The Puff Factory (Plaza Singapura)
Address: 68 Orchard Road
#B2-02 Plaza Singapura
Opening Hours: Daily 10am to 10 pm
Hmmm, something to share... When I was young, my parent used to buy the puffs from the store for $0.60 each. But now the price of Tip Top Curry Puff has increased to $1.30 and that is the same price as Old Chang Kee's curry puff. I would say it is worth the money.
I rated it as Singapore's Best Curry Puff! These curry puffs still taste like the ones I remember eating when I was still a kid! The crust was nice and buttery and the filling inside was genourous and not overly spicy. There was also a piece of hard-boiled egg in it accompanied by the tasty chunk of chicken meat inside.
Try the Singapore Best Curry Puffs today!

For those who haven't seen it, Ripper Street is a melodrama set in 1890s London, and follows the adventures of the local police of H Division in their efforts to retain a semblance of order in the chaotic, poverty-stricken slums of Whitechapel. The title derives from Jack the Ripper: though Jack himself has vanished from the streets shortly before the beginning of the first series, the police are still weighed down with guilt at their failure to catch him. That failure, as we know, was never redeemed. Inspector Frederick Abberline, who in reality was in charge of the Ripper case, features as a character, though for some reason Clive Russell plays him with a Cockney instead of a West Country accent (Abberline was from Dorset).
The series has been much-praised for its realistic depiction of life in one of the poorest and most crime-ridden quarters of Victorian London, and for not pulling its punches in depicting the often brutal and illegal methods employed by the main character, Inspector Reid (Matthew McFayden) and his hard-nut sergeant, Bennet Drake (Jerome Flynn, playing a Cockney version of Bronn in Game of Thrones). The recreation of Whitechapel itself can hardly be faulted, with its narrow, crooked streets and alleys, beggars, matchgirls, tarts, pimps, and grimy urchins. No prettied-up version of the past here. Whitechapel is liberally coated in shit, and the people look suitably grimy, pale, underfed and exhausted.
The crimes that H Division deal with are usually extremely bloody, often political - the second series in particular has dealt in themes with some relevance to 2013, with homosexuality tackled in one episode, Irish 'terrorism' in another, corrupt bankers etc - and clumsily handled. No-one could accuse the upright, violent sobersides Reid of being a particularly brilliant detective, and I sometimes wished Sherlock Holmes would turn up (it was the right period) to sneer at his methods. However, that would probably result in Holmes being escorted to the cells by Drake for a quick beating.
I'm not wholly convinced that the series is as realistic as it claims. Despite all the stabbings and garrottings and gory fistfights, it is sometimes guilty of the usual sin of TV historical drama i.e. imposing modern values on the past. Episode Five of Series Two, 'Threads of Silk and Gold', was particularly guilty of this. Dealing with the issue of (male) child prostitution, it packs in as many abusive Victorian terms for homosexuals as possible, and depicts Sergeant Drake as a casual homophobe. Being an innately decent man, however, despite his rough habits, he eventually learns the error of his ways and appreciates that gay people are no different from the rest of us. This is designed to appeal to the thinking of a modern audience, and bears no relation to the grim reality of 19th century attitudes towards homosexuality: the chances of a rough, uneducated Whitechapel police sergeant changing his attitude towards 'mollies' were about as great as mine are of winning the Eurovision Song Contest.
Nit-picking aside, Ripper Street was a compelling watch, and got better as it went on, losing the slightly disjointed feel of the first series and successfully fleshing out the characters. One of my peeves was Adam Rothenberg, playing the dissolute American surgeon/rogue Captain Homer Jackson. He was practically inaudible in some of the earlier episodes, speaking through his nose while chewing on a cigar, but someone seems to have told him to speak up. Once I could hear what he was actually saying, the darkness and cruel wit of Jackson came into sharp focus.
Overall, then, the ambition and gorgeous production values of Ripper Street are to be applauded, even if it occasionally fell flat. The cancelled third series, with all the bugs ironed out, could have been spectacular, but the BBC apparently knows better than we mere peasants. More space is needed in the schedules for the likes of Strictly Come MasterChef Celebrity Dancing (or whatever) so you can stick your interesting, well-made, thoughtful period dramas, and get ready for a further barrage of glittery tat.
PS: Just caught a story in The Guardian that the producers of Ripper Street are in talks with LoveFilm to film a third and maybe even fourth series, so perhaps all is not lost...

"According to The Bell, LG Display recently created a task force to develop a foldable OLED screen for the new iPhone model," the report said on Thursday.
The foldable iPhone panel production could start from 2020. LG has reportedly completed its own foldable OLED panel prototype and has been upgrading the durability and the yield rate.
The company recently started its first OLED production for phones at its E5 plant in Gumi, North Gyeongsang Province.
Apple is also considering investing in LG to speed up OLED production. Meanwhile, Samsung is exclusively supplying panels for the latest iPhone X, the first OLED iPhone.
"Amid Samsung's near monopoly in mobile OLED production, Apple has been strengthening its partnership with LG Display, its long-time LCD partner," the report added.
In 2017, Samsung will hold approximately 89 percent of the AMOLED (active matrix OLED) display panel market, analysts at UBI Research said recently.
Currently, some smartphones that feature OLED screens are iPhone X, Samsung Galaxy S8, Samsung Galaxy S8+, Samsung Galaxy Note 8, OnePlus 5, LG V30, and Vivo X9s.
The Samsung "Galaxy X" is likely to make an appearance during the CES consumer technology show in January.

I remember in my years as a New Yorker watching Lara Spencer on the local news. Later, she rose up to co-anchor Good Morning America, and (who knew) to become a de-facto expert on design and vintage finds. Have you come across her new book "I Brake for Yard Sales (and Flea Markets, Thrift Shops, Auctions, and the Occasional Dumpster"?
How cute is the cover? Lara looks amazing, and I love her dress and heels. But seriously girlfriend, I've walked many a Brimfield field, and I know that outfit's not working out for any of us on the hunt for the best vintage finds!
OK - that's more like it, Lara!
The book looks super cute; I'll definitely pick it up...
Love the green campaign chest - a classic thrift find, post make-over...
I wonder if the boots are vintage...
I had to laugh, though, when asked in a House Beautiful interview if anything in her bedroom was from a flea market. Her response? That her nightstands came from Housing Works, "a terrific charity thrift shop".
Like many of you, I'm sure, I recognize it as Bungalow 5's Jacqui Side Table, which retails for about $900 (each).
I guess rich people's thrift shops are really the best (and yes, we noticed you leaving empty-handed in the shot from Grandpa's attic)!

Wrecked by Maria Padian
Page Count: 368
Published by: Algonquin Young Readers (October 4, 2016)
Genre: Teen/Social & Family Issues/Sexual Abuse
My Rating: 5/5
***Please Note***
This book deals with serious issues involving sexual assault. I would not recommend this book to anyone who could be triggered by these issues.
Everyone on campus has a different version of what happened that night.
Haley saw Jenny return from the party, shell-shocked.
Richard heard Jordan brag about the cute freshman he hooked up with.
When Jenny accuses Jordan of rape, Haley and Richard are pushed to opposite sides of the school's investigation. Now conflicting versions of the story may make bringing the truth to light nearly impossible–especially when reputations, relationships, and whole futures are riding on the verdict.
My Thoughts:
This book has been on my "TBR List" for quite sometime and I am happy to have finally gotten around to it. I found this book to be a wonderful public service announcement of what can happen when you allow yourself to lose control. As women, we should always be vigilant of our safety and surroundings. Wrecked is a cautionary coming-of-age tale that deals with just what can happen when you let your guard down.
As for the mechanical aspects of the book, the character development was amazing. The storyline was believable and the writing was superb. What I was most impressed with is the underlying message in this book: only you have your best interests at heart.
Would I Recommend This Book:
Yes! Even though this book centers around college-aged-young-adults, I would recommend it to even high school aged kids, and maybe some mature middle schoolers. The situations and issues dealt with are relevant to both genders, even though the main characters are female.
About the Author:
Young adult novelist Maria Padian lives and writes from her home in midcoast Maine. Before devoting herself full-time to fiction she worked as a news reporter, congressional aide, radio essayist and freelance writer. These days, she takes breaks from the computer by playing with her Australian Shepherd, texting her grown children, taking long walks along the beach or feeding logs into the woodstove.
Until next time!
P.S. Here goes the little disclaimer…
Thanks goes to Algonquin Young Readers and Netgalley for allowing me the opportunity to review this book prior to publication. All opinions expressed in this review are solely mine and I did not receive any payment.

Lib Dems: Labour must come off the fence on benefits freeze
The Liberal Democrats have called on Labour to come off the fence and make clear whether they would end the benefits freeze that will see the incomes of millions of families slashed in the coming years.
Labour Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Debbie Abrahams on Sunday said she was "looking" into the issue but admitted ending the freeze had not been costed in the Labour manifesto.
It comes as research by the charity
Shelter has warned
over a million households living in private rented accommodation are at risk of becoming homeless by 2020 because of the benefits freeze, rising rents and a lack of social housing.
Under current proposals, an average working family on tax and child credits would be around £780 worse off a year by 2021 due to the benefits freeze.
The Liberal Democrats have committed to unfreezing benefits and up-rating them in line with inflation.
Liberal Democrat Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Stephen Lloyd commented:
"Labour have failed to commit to helping struggling families by unfreezing benefits. After Debbie Abraham's comments yesterday, their position remains as clear as mud.
"It's time for Labour to come off the fence and tell us whether they support slashing the incomes of the poorest in society or not.
"Millions of working households across the country will see their incomes cut by hundreds of pounds in the years ahead.
"We need to ensure that families who are already struggling to get by are not pushed over the edge."

I have never considered resource companies to be long term holds. I held this company's stock (TSX-ECA) twice. When I was holding it the second time I decided to sell in 2009 because the stock was going to split into 2 stocks. I did not have much invested and I would have ended up with even smaller investments in two separate companies. Today I will deal with EnCana and later I will deal with the piece that split off called Cenovus.
When I looked at the Insider Trading reporting, I find that there is Insider Buying of $1.8M. There is also a very little bit of Insider Selling. This insider buying is nice, but it is still a very small amount considering that this is a $22B company. Most of the buying is by directors and a bit is by some officers. This company has also been buying back shares for cancellation. Personally, I would prefer companies use excess cash to pay special dividends, but I doubt if most companies are going to do that anytime soon. Buying back shares for cancellation is still something that companies are pursuing, as it is still rather an "in" thing to do.
When I look at spreadsheet, I get a 5 year median P/E low of 7.3 and a 5 year median P/E high of 13.4. I get a current P/E of 25 and a trailing P/E of 12. The sites that use the last 12 months earnings to get a current P/E get one of 13. The problem is that the company is not expected to earn much this year. When I looked for earnings estimates for 2010, I get one of only $1.22US compared to earnings of $2.48US last year. The last 12 months earnings are at about $2.31. The estimate earnings range is quite broad at from about $.83US to $1.83US. None of the estimates for 2010 is close to last years earnings. On a relative basis, the current P/E is high and therefore points to the stock price being high.
When you look at the dividend yield, you get a better story. The current yield is 2.6% and the 5 year average is lower at 1.7%. The higher current yield points to a good current stock price. Although the increases in the dividends over the past 5 and 10 years are very high, do not forget this is a gas company and the dividends will fluctuate with the price of gas. The dividends on this stock recently peaked in 2008 and have been coming down since.
The dividends have been increased by 28% and 45% per year over the past 5 and 10 years respectively. We are supposed to be in a long term resource bull market, especially because of China and India. If dividends on average increase by 12% a year, and inflation is at 2% (lower than average), you will be earning on a current stock purchase 4% dividend yield in 5 years time and almost 8% in 10 years time. This is just another way of looking at the benefits of stocks with increasing dividends.
The Price/Book Value Ratio average for the last 10 years is 1.76 and the current P/B is 1.33. Since the current ratio is just 75% of the 10 year average, this ratio is showing that the current stock price is a good one. The Graham Price is based on a formula that takes into consideration the book value and the earnings. Using the estimate earnings for 2010, and a current book value, I get a Graham price of $25.29. The Graham price for 2009 was higher at $36.89. The current Graham Price is the lowest it has been for the last 4 years and this is because of the low earnings estimate for this year. What you want is a stock at or below the Graham Price and by this measure we are not getting that.
So, what do the analysts say? What I find is lots of Strong Buy, Buy and Hold recommendations. I can find no others. The consensus would be a Buy recommendation. (See my site for information on analyst ratings.) There are analysts that like gas as an investment and others that think that it will not do well for a while. The difference between the recommendations, as usual seems to be what price the analysts expects this stock price to be in 12 months time. The Strong Buy position feels that this stock is a good buy up to $35 a share. There are others who feel that it cannot be higher than $32 within 12 months.
I am not in the market for any resource stock at the moment, but I do like to track these stocks to see how they are doing. After all, resource stocks are a big part of the Canadian stock market.
EnCana is among the largest natural gas companies in North America. They are focused on natural gas exploration and the development of resource plays. They have a diversified portfolio of assets and hold a highly competitive land and resource position in a number of North America's most promising shale and tight gas resource plays. Alberta Energy Company Ltd. (AEC) and PanCanadian Energy Corporation (PanCanadian) companies merged to form EnCana. EnCana split into EnCana and Cenovus. Its web site is here EnCana. See my spreadsheet at eca.htm.

text: Having now competed in 5 indoor competitions, I've got the luxury of a three week break before returning to the scene of my first victory in 3 weeks time. Getting that win has done wonders for my confidence, and means I'll be working even harder in training now in the hope of being able to keep bringing my time down. I've started filming my races so that I can analyse my performance afterwards and adjust my training to target the specific parts of my race where I feel I could have done better. Training before and after work again for the next few weeks will be tough after tapering my training down for the competitions, but if I can get under 7.5s this season I'll be pretty pleased and it'll all be worth it. The incorporation of a foam roller and theraband for stretching before and after races has definitely helped my recovery, and this coupled with not drinking and eating better (although still not perfectly!) means I can constantly feel my body adapting to the stresses and pressures of training. Having top international competitions on tv at the moment is great, as it provides a real time barometer for my own performance, and while I still obviously have a long way to go, I'm definitely gaining ground. I'm currently reading Usain Bolt's autobiography as well, and anyone who thinks he is a slacker is having a laugh! I'm hoping that by completely immersing myself in the psychology of what makes top athletes stand out and maintain dominance that I'll be able to adopt some of the same practices and that it'll help my performances improve. What strikes me most is the unwavering sense of self belief that the best sprinters have, and whilst I've never been short of self confidence, I think that the levels of surety that they demonstrate can only be achieved through winning and performing time and time again. With that in mind, I'm already looking forward to the 4 competitions I've got lined up for March. Here's to hoping that I can keep up this winning feeling myself.

M7 Events brings cheer to Portland Rehab
M7 Events, the lifestyle entertainment group that produces events such as Soiree: Christmas Eve, Soiree: SPF, Marbana, and the SPF Weekend series, provided the Portland Rehab Facility in Port Antonio, with food items and bathroom supplies to serve the facility for the holiday season and beyond.
The Portland Rehab facility is mandated by the Portland Parish Council to rehabilitate its residents, who may be suffering from homelessness and mental illnesses such as chronic depression and other related ailments. The administrator of the home, New York City native Andrea Parsons, describes the facility's approach to helping its residents as "wellness self-management, through the mind, body, and soul".
The facility provides shelter and daily meals for its residents.
Chairman of M7 Events Mark Lindo noted the promotion company's decision to engage the facility in a philanthropic partnership:
"This year, M7 Events held its first event in Portland called Marbana, and it was quite a success for our first production in the area. We now see ourselves as long-term partners with the residents of Portland, and will play our part in the Portland Renaissance to bring back the glory days of the parish.
"Portland is a gem that should not be forgotten, and the great work being done by the Portland Rehab Facility should be rewarded and not go unnoticed. We are glad to assist the facility with food and household items. These are basic necessities that no facility which is doing this magnitude of great work, should be in need of," Lindo said.
To donate to the Portland Rehab Facility, please visit their website www.prmshomeless.org.

"Terminator Salvation" Concept Art and Details
Posted: May 24th, 2008 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
McG, the director of the upcoming "Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins," has began blogging on the official site for the movie and has given fans some concept art of post-judgment day Los Angeles. Here is what McG had to say:
We've officially started principal photography on 'Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins.' Like you guys, I've been a long-time fan of the series and I understand your passion for the Terminator movies -- and it's my full intention to deliver a film that lives up to the previous three installments. I've spent time with James Cameron, spoken to Arnold Schwarzenegger, gone over the story with Jonah Nolan, and enlisted Stan Winston.
Everything we're shooting is designed to be tactile and real, you'll be seeing a whole set of inspired designs you've never seen before, and best of all you'll finally get to see some of the post-judgment day future that was only hinted at in the previous movies.
John Connor will be pushed to the brink. And for me,
Christian Bale
embodies Connor's strength and tenacity perfectly. And after visiting
Sam Worthington
on the set of '
,' I know he's perfect for his role.
As you know,
Anton Yelchin
is playing Kyle Reese, and his prep has been unbelievable. The guy's been watching all three Terminators incessantly and he's definitely going to capture the essence of the character
Michael Biehn
created in
's first film.
We started principal photography with a sequence at Griffith Observatory. I've already seen a cut of it - Anton and Sam are excellent. I'll have more on that soon, and can't wait to share some of what we're doing with you all. Stay tuned for more.

Currently Reading: Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas
I need to read Garth Nix. It'll happen (one day).
I wanted to be graced in killing like Katsa and strong like Po. The things they can do and their journey really just made me want to be able to throw knives and learn hand-to-hand combat.
Fleetfoot is my fictional pet. Done. No explanation needed. (For those of you who haven't read Throne of Glass, which you should go do, Fleetfoot is Celaena's dog.)
I also REALLY want a wivern. Anyone know where I can get one?
Now, there's still the whole Sabriel vs. Katniss. From what I've heard, Sabriel would win any day of the week. A lot of people would beat Katniss like Celaena, Katsa, and Manon for example. Yes, I know that these are all characters from fantasy novels, so you can add Bex from the Gallagher Girls books. And all the other girls besides Liz (because she is more computer savvy).
See you all soon!

A Quote From the the NY Times Article:
"Big U.S. Bases Are Part of Iraq, but a World Apart"
"At the height of war, more than 300 bases were scattered across Iraq. Over the next few months, Americans hope to be at six huge bases, with 13 others being used for staging and preparing for a complete withdrawal.
The first people you encounter when driving up to an American base are not actually American. They are usually Ugandans, employed by a private security company, Triple Canopy, and those at Balad had enough authority to delay for five hours an American Air Force captain escorting an American reporter onto the base.
The Ugandans make up only one nationality of a diverse group of workers from developing nations who sustain life on the F.O.B's [forward operating base's] for American soldiers. They largest contingents come from the Philippines, Bangladesh and India. They live apart from both Western contractors and soldiers on base, interacting with them only as much as their jobs demand. "

Paraguay at the UN: High hopes for impunity to be subject of discussion
Jan 18, Asunción: The IFEX Latin American and Caribbean alliance (IFEX-ALC) was formed in 2009 with the goal of collaborating and leveraging the collective power of its 19 member organisations to address free expression issues in the region. In 2015, the group agreed to work together on a campaign against impunity for crimes against journalists and community radio stations in Paraguay – a country with serious issues that receives relatively little attention on the world stage.
IFEX-ALC members formed a delegation, which met in Paraguay in May 2015. The delegation included Pedro Vaca, the Executive Director of the Foundation for Press Freedom (FLIP) in Colombia; Paula Martins, Director for ARTICLE 19's South America office in Brazil; Ileana Alamilla, Director of the Centro de Reportes Informativos sobre Guatemala (CERIGUA); and Santiago Ortiz, from the Union of Journalists of Paraguay (SPP) in Paraguay.
During three days in Asunción, they met with government officials, civil society organisations, members of the media and families and colleagues of some of the 17 journalists who have been murdered in Paraguay and whose killers have yet to be brought to justice.
Their findings have been incorporated into a report, which has been submitted to the UN Human Rights Council, in advance of Paraguay's formal Universal Periodic Review (UPR), scheduled to take place on 20 January 2016.
The report gives an overview of the Paraguayan context for freedom of expression, including the state's obligations and the risk factors faced by the country's media, and specifically, community radio stations. It calls for investigations into outstanding cases of murdered journalists, the creation of a special unit focused on free expression violations, and guarantees that Paraguayan journalists be able to carry out their work in safety.
Some of the IFEX-ALC recommendations were included in the Summary of stakeholders' information report, one of the documents that will inform discussions during the UPR at the UN Human Rights Council.

last of the leaves
We stopped off at my brother and sisters house on the way home for a quick birthday dinner. He had had a rather unfortunate birthday, with the loss of his dog and his car stolen while he was in the vets. It was so special to spend time together as a family though, and my sister made the most awesome cake!

#MustListen: Krista Siegfrids — Be Real
Written by Stefan Hadar
Be Real! This is the song you are definitely going to listen all day and night! If you remember, we announced that we will be doing at least once a month a #MustListen article where we hope you will discover new songs and talented artists. Today we introduce to you a Finnish singer and songwriter, Krista Siegfrids. She released her latest single called Be Real a couple weeks ago and on the 18th of November she posted the official music video on her Youtube channel.
I know, right? The more you listen the more you get addicted to it! Although the lyrics of the song are "Come on, blow my mind" we can say one thing for sure: Krista blew our minds with this new track that is something different for her too! This is the first song since she singed with Universal Music Sweden.
Some of you may have already heard of Krista. She is pretty famous in Scandinavia. She competed last year at the Swedish Melodifestivalen represented Finland at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2013 with the song Marry Me. Luckily in the mean time she got engaged! Siegfrids also released her debut album DiNG DONG in May 2013 and calls her fans since then Ding Dongers.
Also, she was announced to compete at Melodifestivalen this year too! Hope to see her in Kiev? We sure do!
Check her performance from 2013 below!

Further to my post from yesterday on the International Trade Commission (ITC), section 337 of the U.S. Tariff Act of 1930 declares unlawful, among other things, "the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, or the sale within the United States after importation . . . of articles that . . . infringe a valid and enforceable United States patent", but "only if an industry in the United States, relating to the articles protected by the patent . . . exists or is in the process of being established." Furthermore, "an industry in the United States shall be considered to exist if there is in the United States, with respect to the articles protected by the patent. . . (A) significant investment in plant and equipment; (B) significant employment of labor or capital; or (C) substantial investment in its exploitation, including engineering, research and development, or licensing." A question that has arisen in some recent cases is whether a firm that only licenses its patents within the United States satisfies the "domestic industry" requirement for invoking the ITC's jurisdiction. In some instances, the courts and the ITC have answered this question affirmatively. See InterDigital Comm'ns, LLC v. ITC, 707 F.3d 1295 (Fed. Cir. 2013). In Motiva, LLC v. ITC, however, the Federal Circuit today distinguished InterDigital and affirmed the ITC's finding that Motiva, a nonpracticing entity that had sued Nintendo for patent infringement and commenced parallel ITC proceedings, did not satisfy the domestic industry requirement. From the opinion:
The Commission found—and Motiva does not dispute—that Motiva's investments in developing a domestic industry for the '151 and '268 patents were limited after 2007 to the litigation against Nintendo. Indeed, Motiva argues on appeal that its investment in that litigation satisfies the economic prong of the domestic industry requirement of Section 337. It asserts that removing the Wii from the market through litigation was essential to developing a successful "product-driven licensing business" that would encourage partners to develop and adopt its patented technology, which was "ready for a manufacturer to pick it up and incorporate it into a successful product." Appellant's Br. 44, 47.
Motiva's investment in the litigation against Nintendo could indeed satisfy the economic prong of the domestic industry requirement if it was substantial and directed toward a licensing program that would encourage adoption and development of articles that incorporated Motiva's patented technology. See InterDigital Commc'ns, LLC v. Int'l Trade Comm'n, 707 F.3d 1295, 1299 (Fed. Cir. 2013) (clarifying that efforts directed toward licensing a patent can satisfy the domestic industry requirement where they would result in the production of "goods practicing the patents"); cf. John Mezzalingua, 660 F.3d at 1328-29 (discussing how the "Commission is fundamentally a trade forum, not an intellectual property forum" and holding that litigation expenses directed at preventing instead of encouraging manufacture of articles incorporating patented technology does not satisfy the domestic industry requirement of Section 337). However, the ALJ found that Motiva's litigation against Nintendo was not directed at developing such a licensing program. Relying on extensive documentary evidence and witness testimony, the ALJ concluded that the presence of the Wii in the market had no impact on Motiva's commercialization efforts or ability to encourage partners to invest in and adopt its patented technology. And Motiva was never close to launching a product incorporating the patented technology—nor did any partners show any interest in doing so, for years before or any time after the launch of the Wii. Motiva's only remaining prototype was a product far from completion, and a multitude of development and testing steps remained prior to finalizing a product for production. Moreover, the evidence demonstrated that Motiva's litigation was targeted at financial gains, not at encouraging adoption of Motiva's patented technology. The inventors looked forward to financial gains through Motiva's litigation, not hopes of stimulating investment or partnerships with manufacturers. Motiva also never asked for a preliminary injunction from the district court, and it waited three years before seeking relief from the Commission—even though the importation of the Wii was allegedly the only obstacle to adoption of its patented technology in the market. Thus, on the record here, substantial evidence supports the Commission's finding that Motiva's litigation against Nintendo was not an investment in commercializing Motiva's patented technology that would develop a licensing program to encourage adoption and development of articles that incorporated Motiva's patented technology. See John Mezzalingua, 660 F.3d at 1328 (discussing how litigation expenses should not automatically be considered a substantial investment in licensing, even where litigation leads to a license). There is simply no reasonable likelihood that, after successful litigation against Nintendo, Motiva's patented technology would have been licensed by partners who would have incorporated it into "goods practicing the patents." See InterDigital, 707 F.3d at 1299.
In other news, this morning the U.S. Supreme Court in Bowman v. Monsanto affirmed the Federal Circuit's decision that the doctrine of patent exhaustion does not immunize the unauthorized reproduction of Monsanto's patented seeds through harvesting and replanting. No big surprise, in my view.

So talking about Christmas and beautiful things happening, yesterday I went to Gaylord Texan Hotel & Convention Center in Grapevine to check the thrilling, chilling, one-of-kind (as exactly mentioned on the hotel's website) holiday attraction ICE. The hotel has built an amazing indoor wonderland (as we do not have much winter in Texas to keep the ice outside) created entirely of ice sculptures featuring famous cartoons characters like Shrek, Donkey, Panda, etc.
For this amazing attraction they have invited dozens of specialists from China which have worked nearly one month, almost 12 hours a day and have crafted nearly 1 million kilograms of ice. But at the end the result was worth the effort.
I will not say more, as I thing I have said enough for this post, just enjoy the pics, the Christmas atmosphere in your cities and your souls!
