Isn't it thrilling when someone tells you that they are going to have a baby? Or the experience of having one yourself and the joy and preparation that goes into this amazing event. I am just as encouraged when a friend or loved one shares of their ability to adopt a child. Regardless of the way a child is brought into the lives of a family, it is an amazing event and one to be excited about.
One of the most joyous parts of bringing a child into the family is the preparation. There is so much involved to this that it takes almost as many months to prepare for the child as it does to nurture and develop the new child in the comfort of the mother's womb. I think for me, one of the most exciting parts to preparing for a new child is the readying of the child's room. Preparing a room. Webster's defines it as: to provide or to procure as suitable. But I believe in the case of preparing a room for a new child is far greater than to just make a suitable place for them to come home to.
We go to the local home center and look for the perfect paint colors. We register at Target and make sure to include all of the things we feel will make this place we are preparing the perfect fit for our new loved one to feel comfort and love. We even create a theme by decorating it with Winnie The Pooh or Little Mermaid or even Spongebob Square Pants... Whatever the case, it is made especially for the one we love because we are wanting the very best for our new child.
God is doing the same thing for us. He is preparing a place for me and you to be with Him for eternity in heaven and He isn't doing it on the cheap either. Jesus tells us in John chapter 14 that there are many rooms in God's house and He is preparing a place for us. It isn't going to be like a Motel 6 where once we get there someone will check us in and then we carry all of our baggage up to some generic room with a tv that is missing the remote, an old dusty chair in the corner, and a hard bed that has been slept in 17,000 times by who knows who.
No, on the contrary. It is going to be a perfect fit. Revelation gives us a human glimpse into Heaven in this way: Rev 21:21-23 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, transparent as glass. And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.
Jesus is making a place for me and you in Heaven and it is going to be a splendid sight indeed. Joh 14:1-4 "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going." (esv)
He is preparing it Himself. Imagine for just a moment how wonderful that is going to be. If we, being sinful and corrupt, can prepare a nice room for our children to dwell in for their time here with us, then imagine what the perfect one can do in His preparation of our eternal dwelling place.
Thank you God for your promise of Salvation and your unquenchable grace. You have told me that you are preparing a place for me in Heaven and I am so ready to see it...

We all love sunglasses...
Do you remember me wearing the silver pair of sunglasses during the Reggea Geel Festival? I was wearing a design from Polette Eyewear. A webshop with so many different designs of glasses and sunglasses that you just can't decide which one you would like to take home. They even add your own personal correction to the glasses and each of them are protected with a special UV400 coating.
Because I received so many positive reactions on the glasses, I decided to make a quick post about it and to let you all know where you can find them. Later on a shooting will be published with the glasses.
The name of the design is 'Dark Knight'. A trendy pair of sunglasses with a mirrored effect. You can find it also in black (here) and the original ones in silver (here).
I hope you all find a nice design that suits your style and personality! And let me know which pair you like the most.

Birds are the third most common pets after dogs and cats. They are the creatures living the dream of people like us. We all dream of having wings and fly high in the sky, but cannot achieve this dream. The closest that we can get to flying is using airplanes for having a flight. The advanced technology does allow us to fly, but still, the freedom of flight that the birds enjoy can not be enjoyed by us so far. So, in a way, birds are really inspiring pets, giving a lesson of flying and going on, despite of whatever problem you are facing at the moment. Birds make really good pets, but they need not be caged. They can be left free, and on giving proper training, they would return to their own house, which will, by then, be the same house in which, you reside in. A few things, that you need to keep in your mind before getting a pet are mentioned here.
Cleaning Up
Birds are messy pets. They create a mess around the place they live in, especially during the time, they are trapped in a cage. If you are going to adopt a pet, keep in mind that there would be a need to devote some of your time towards cleaning the cage everyday. Many kind of disease causing micro organisms keep the tendency to survive in places where birds have created a mess. The excreta of birds also attract such organisms. So, regular cleanliness need to be done, and changing of bottom sheets every week should be done.
When we talk about safety of these small little creatures, we are talking about two types of safety. Firstly, the birds shouldn't be caged for whole of the day, so when they are set free, either provide them proper training so that they can return to you after having a good flight, or just give them their open space in some closed room. The problem in letting them fly in a room is that these birds can land up on small pieces of mirror or unprotected live wire or other such stuff, through which, they could harm themselves. So, try bird proofing the room, in which, they are going to enjoy a free time. Secondly, if you have other pets like dogs and cats in your house, you need to be extra careful for your pet, as it may get attacked by them. Cats' favorite meal is a bird, so unless they become friends or acquainted to each other, keep them as far as possible from each other. Remember Sylvester and Tweety, the cartoon series? Some extra preventive measures may include that a few birds can drown easily, so keep a shallow bird bath.
It is usually said that birds feed only on seeds, while just giving seeds to them as a dietary supplement maybe dangerous for their system. On an approximation, 50% of the total bird's diet must be seed, and the rest must include nuts, small pieces of meats and insects. If these supplements are taking your heads over heels to find, then there is another option for their diet. Fruits and vegetables, cut into small digestible portions are also meant to be really healthy for the same. In addition to this, your regular diet, again cut into small portions, can also be a treat for them, which can include chicken, noodles etc. At a whole, they need ample amount of vitamins and minerals to keep them active. Also, never let them thrive of thirst. Refill their water bowls everyday with fresh water. Some birds consume really less amount of water, but they still need this as a supplement.
VETerinarian visits
It is a really common case that the pet bird suddenly dies, which is because the owner of the bird doesn't get to know when it is sick. Birds do show symptoms of being ill, but we fail to notice them, as we are just not looking for them. These symptoms include change in the colour of their excreta, which from white changes to black, or mustard colour, followed by change in dietary habits. They usually start consuming much more water than they usually consume. They stop chirping and start feeling lethargic. Whenever you observe any of these symptoms, take the bird to your vet and treat them, or they would not see a good fate, as they are not much strong creatures. In addition to this, regular vet visits need to be marked on your calendar. Birds have a good life span, and a few of these pet birds are known to live for decade or more. In nature, they can survive in one way or the other, but when they are under your surveillance, you need to take proper care of them.
When you pet a bird, you have to go through a painful seeming procedure, that is trimming their wings. This process becomes mandatory as the birds can fly into sharp objects or strike the cage, and can harm themselves. So, for preventing this, their wings need to be trimmed, which can be done at home, after getting proper training, or an expert can be referred to perform this procedure. Also, their nails also need to be trimmed on a regular basis, sop that they don't harm anything or anyone, including themselves.
Domesticating a bird seems to be a good choice, but if you are going to treat it as a slave, and are going to trap it in a cage for whole of the time, then avoid getting a bird pet, and go for something else. Birds are meant to fly, and pet them only if you are ready to give them freedom by providing them enough room for performing their flight exercises, just like you give your pet dog a walk.

My name is Alena Heise, I am 14 years old and I come from Germany. I came to BISS Puxi after having lived in Hong Kong for nine years and this is now my fourth year here.
I have grown up in an international environment and I really relish every moment of it. I have friends from all around the world: people from India, Pakistan, China, Scotland, Mexico and many more. We learn so much from this type of environment, you learn to respect different religions and cultures and you broaden your education at the same time.
I really enjoy going to BISS Puxi. Everything is up to top standards. We have science labs and a huge auditorium. The art rooms are nice and big and importantly filled with light. We have mac suites and a dark room for experiments, as well as a small black box theatre for drama. I, like everyone, have my favourite days at school. I really enjoy days with French, Art, Drama and Science, but also English and Geography. I particularly like Art; it's interesting as we always focus on something new every year. Masks one year, the next we worked on shoes, which we based on a certain artist and this year we are working on food and pop art.
I live around 15 to 30 minutes away from school depending on the traffic and that means I have to be up and ready to get on the school bus at 7.45am. I arrive home in the afternoon at around 3:45pm and then I sit down to work on my homework, which takes me around an hour. Then I either practise my clarinet or piano or just have a bit of free time. I chat with my friends or sit and read a book and listen to a bit of music.
Twice a week I do ECAs, (extra-curricular activities) after school. On Mondays I have rehearsal for this year's Christmas Pantomime and on Thursdays I do acting for the camera. Of course there are many different ECAs to choose from including camera work, languages and sports. We have so many to choose from every day and there is definitely something for everyone. I also do BISCAP (British International School Community Activity Programme) a paid sport programme on top of the ECAs, which is run by professional coaches. You have a choice of basketball, football, swimming, ballet, wushu (a Chinese martial art) and many more. I do synchronised swimming every Tuesday after school. Before it starts I do my homework in the LRC (Learning Resource Centre). I enjoy having ECAs after school because I like staying and being part of the school community outside of just lessons. You meet new people from different year groups and it is another way to peruse your hobbies.
During lunch and ECA time we have a chance to join music bands, which I have taken part in before. It is nice to play with other people and learn different pieces apart from just the usual solo pieces. You learn to play with others and how to work better with other people.
A great thing here at BISS Puxi is the fact that we must learn Mandarin till Year 10 and then we have it as a choice, but at least we have the chance to learn the native language of where we live. I have been learning Mandarin for almost 8 years and my Mandarin is progressing further and further. I can speak clearly and I can read and write quite well. I find it good that we are learning this language because living in China is so much easier when you know a bit of the language. I can talk with my driver and with my Ayi and even communicate well when I am shopping or just ordering food in a restaurant.
I have won at least five certificates of endeavour at school and a principal's accommodation for an outstanding Mandarin presentation during the visit of HRH the Duke of York and a certificate and medal for art in the prize giving ceremony which we hold at the end of every year.
BISS Puxi is a fantastic school to be at. I will be finishing my IB here and I am really happy that I can graduate from such a wonderful school. It is great to be in such an international school and have the chance to meet so many people from all over the world.

But if I was hanging out with surrealist painters and writers, today, in whichever arrondissement the current artists are sitting in cafes in, perhaps I would be bored to tears or find them wacky and weird.
Instead, we are making our own creative fun by walking the streets and bridges, Pont des Arts, Pont Neuf, going from cafe to cabaret, in three different quartiers, drinking cafe creme or ros
Actually, it's very dark and rainy today, cold, a good day to stay indoors and read the life of Frida Kahlo, parts of which were in New York and Paris, rubbing shoulders with Georgia O'Keeffe and Andre Breton, Henry Miller and Anais Nin.
c'est tres sympa, as they say. To be moody and cold in Paris...next week I have a real writers' retreat booked for myself, a few blocks away, and maybe I'll tackle this O'Keeffe-Kahlo project that has been tickling my mind for a few days now.
Until Monday, hopefully the sun will come out, we'll put on our walking shoes and shop for our baguette and fromage.
salut les mecs!

Shocking! - CDA says parents could lose custody of boy over sexual video
The Child Development Agency (CDA) says the parents of a young boy being sexual groomed by a woman in a video that has gone viral on social media could lose custody of the child if it is found that it was their negligence which led to the ordeal.
Rochelle Dixon, public relations and communications manager at CDA, said that while the agency prefers when children stay with their parents, if it is found that it was their negligence that caused the boy to be exposed to the sexual act, then they may lose custody to a responsible relative.
"If they are not able to take care of the child, then we could look to some relative who would be able to provide proper supervision," Dixon told THE STAR.
Strip naked
In the video, the woman told the boy that he would have to pay before she would allow him to have sexual intercourse with her. Obliging to her suggestion, he took some money from his pocket and placed it on a side table. She then asked the boy to strip naked, exposing his genitals.
After viewing the video, one person said, "This is child abuse and she should be reported."
Meanwhile, Dixon said that the video is "shocking", and if the CDA should get a hold of the boy's parents they would have to explain why the boy was in the company of the woman.
"Is this someone who they left the boy with? Who is this person? Is she aware that the child is displaying these tendencies? Is she aware that the child is being sexually groomed?," Dixon said, noting that these are some of the questions the CDA would pose to the parents if they are found.

About the Artist
My art could be described as varied in medium as well as style. I have a great deal of experience working with people, through professional social work, and business ownership. I do workshops based on all of the areas of creativity that I mention below. African culture is an area of expertise in music and art. I have a BFA with a concentration in Painting, but I do blacksmithing, jewelry making, Photography, cinematography and videography as well. My latest larger project was a Movie called Savick''s Life which was aired on many public access stations on the coast of Maine. I also won a second place media award for the picture. It is a movie about a young man transcending the disabilies of mental retardation. This movie began as a method of support, but it provided therapy and self actualization which is just now a cutting edge effective tool for learning. I met Savick through an organization that I was working for to support children with mental retardation and autism. I paint and draw pretty regularly, am working on a book of poems/collage/drawings/photographs, and also compose and produce music. I am a person who enjoys sharing ideas and knowledge, as well as giving and taking inspiration from everyone, and everything around me.

The Closet Comes Out of the Closet
Coffee, TV , Flowers: Why Walk In ,When You Can Live In?
A closet used to start with a rod and end with a shelf. Then came the drive to organize, and companies like Elfa International AB and the Container Store grew selling modular and custom storage systems. Now comes the next phase in the closet's evolution—enjoyment.
Homeowners, some deferring plans to move into bigger houses, are upgrading their closets to room-like status, with not only specialized storage but also period lighting, breakfast bars and flat-screen TVs. Sometimes called "boutique" closets, or "dressing...

As winter settles in and runners take to the treadmill, sports medicine professionals will see a spike in Achilles tendonitis. One reason is that running on a treadmill increases load to the Achilles tendon. Also, runners tend to 'mix it up' on a treadmill (more hills, speed work, etc.) to keep from getting bored.
If you use the treadmill more during the winter, be aware, and try an 'ounce of prevention.'
What is it? Achilles Tendonitis (AT) describes inflammation and pain in the tendon that connects the calf muscles to the heel.
Fifty percent of runners will experience AT pain at some point in their careers. And, for some, it can become a reoccurring nightmare.
The injury can be traumatic. However, typically, the irritation is an accumulation of microtrauma. The body's natural healing mechanisms are unable to keep up with the daily wear, resulting in micro-tearing and pain. This dysfunction occurs without significant inflammation and thus, is often referred to as tendinosis or tendinopathy ('itis' means inflammation).
What does it feel like? Common sites of pain are the mid-portion of the tendon, just above the heel, and at the insertion onto the heel bone.
Initially, pain is most obvious in the morning and at the beginning of activity (before 'warming up'). The ability to 'run through' the pain is common and often leads to a delay in seeking help.
With progression, the athlete will experience pain during and/or after activity.
How to diagnose it? An evaluation with a sports physical therapist includes examination of the foot and ankle, a detailed movement assessment (e.g. ability to walk/run, squat, stand on one leg, etc.) and an in-depth account of the onset and training history.
A proper clinical assessment can effectively rule out a tendon rupture, and x-rays or MRIs are typically not necessary.
What to do? To avoid developing AT, gradually 'phase' into activities that increase loads to the Achilles tendon (e.g. treadmill running, hill work, speed work, and barefoot or 'minimalist' shoes).
Avoid 'ramping up' running volume suddenly (* specific recommendations provided in our blog)
Stretch your calves 60-90 seconds minimum – after running.
Change your running shoes every ~ 300-400 miles or 4-6 months—whichever is sooner.
Incorporate reduced impact training and strength training into your routine.
If you feel symptoms of AT, be proactive. Remember, by the time you are feeling these symptoms, a sub-clinical accumulation of micro-trauma likely started weeks-months ago. It is not a new injury, it is an injury that has reached its 'tipping point' and has now become symptomatic. It is unlikely to resolve on its own. Rest may result in resolution of symptoms. But if you wish to return to prior training intensities, the underlying cause must be addressed.
Seek help from a Sports Physical Therapist familiar with treating running athletes.

Even though the blog part of Sisters at Heart, Miles Apart has been quiet for a bit, we've been working, really we have. And though there is a time to be quiet, there is a time to CELEBRATE!
We have been waiting for this to become a tangible reality so that we can announce to all of our blog friends — and it's finally really, truly real! Nancy's Notions (You know, the same Nancy as "Sewing with Nancy".) has chosen to include two of our Starry Night patterns in the latest catalog. You can see it HERE. That's us under "Sew New" on the right hand side.
They've done a great job of posting so that you can really see the finished project. When you get to this page, you can click on MORE VIEWS and you'll be able to zoom in on the details of the patterns and also on the quilt and the tree skirt. These patterns hold a special place for us – they are two of the first patterns we worked on when Sisters became an official business almost 3 years ago.
We hope that all of the customer reviews our friends leave on that tab (subtle hint) will encourage the folks at Nancy's Notions to choose other Sister patterns in the future. In the meantime, you'll find us celebrating by dancing in the fountain! (You are absolutely right – we're too old to dance in the fountain and retain our dignity. Easy choice.)

Man charged in fire attack on woman
Amy Gilroy knew Kevin M. Boone. They had had words before.
Wednesday night, the words erupted again, police said, ending with Boone dousing her with lighter fluid and setting her on fire.
Boone, 38, of Albany Street, was arrested Thursday afternoon — less than 24 hours after the attack. He faces one count of first-degree assault, a charge that could send him to prison for up to 25 years, if convicted.
Police credited help from the public in leading to the quick arrest.
Witnesses relayed crucial information to police that helped lead to Boone, spokesman Det. Kevin Green said.
"The people in that neighborhood were instrumental in us making this arrest," Green said. "From people driving by to average citizens who just stopped and helped. Everything came together."
Gilroy, 40, spent Thursday at the Westchester Medical Center's Burn Unit, where she was taken for treatment of her injuries.She suffered injuries to her back, shoulders and the side of her face in the 7:45 p.m. attack.
Family members traveled to the downstate hospital Wednesday afternoon to be with her, among them Gilroy's sister Jacqueline Clute.
Family members were notified of the arrest Thursday afternoon while they were traveling to the hospital, Clute's son said.
"I was happy, very happy" upon learning of the arrest, Shawn Clute said.
He recalled waking up Thursday to his mother crying.
Boone was located early Thursday afternoon, questioned by police and then charged. He was to be held in the city police lockup until his arraignment this morning in City Court.
Boone, police said, lived in the 1000 block of Albany Street, the same block where Gilroy was attacked.
Police were assisted by several people, even getting descriptions of cars.
A neighbor who did not wish to be identified said he heard yelling and screaming outside and someone saying the woman got burned. He wrote down the license plate numbers of the vehicles fleeing the scene and called police.
Police have not said what the argument may have been about.
Police also reviewed surveillance camera footage, but it was unclear if any of the incident was caught on tape.
Boone was charged by detectives after assistance from state parole officers and the U.S. Marshal Fugitive Task Force.
Boone has spent time in prison on drug and forgery convictions, records show. He was on parole for a 2004 Schenectady drug conviction at the time of Wednesday night's attack.
He was released on the drug conviction in December. His parole was to continue until September 2010. The conviction stemmed from accusations he possessed heroin in August 2003.
Previously, Boone spent time in prison after admitting to forging a check in 1994. He was also jailed in 1991 after admitting he burglarized a home and stole a handgun, records show.
Wednesday night was also not the first time Gilroy had been attacked.
She was stabbed in February 1989 after a woman broke into her Robinson Street home. The stabbing was the result of an argument the two had over a boyfriend, records show.
Another argument helped lead to her own arrest in 2006, records show. She was accused of flagging down a truck on Emmett Street, climbing onto the step of the cab, then spitting at the driver while refusing to get down, according to papers filed in court.
She was charged then with criminal impersonation and loitering for the purpose of prostitution. She was convicted previously of misdemeanor assault in 2003 and prostitution in 2000 and 2002, spending time in jail on each.

2015 Ice Queen Strongwoman Competition
This competition was AMAZING. 60 women came out to compete and it was one of the largest Strongwomen competitions, ever. Ladies Lift Here, The Edge 2.0, and all of the volunteers deserve a huge amount of praise and thanks for putting on such an awesome show. I'll let you read more about the fantastic sponsors, coordinators, and others here.
[photo by Stephanie Lau]
Our gym brought 7 athletes in 5 divisions - that's a pretty serious all female Strongman team. I'm so unbelievably proud of our entire team. Our novice girls all medaled (YES!) and our open girls had a hell of a first contest of the season. I seriously have so many feels about how awesome our team did that it makes me teary eyed. They're the best.
I spent the week before the competition water loading and cutting to make weight. I'll write more about this process later but suffice it to say, it is not very fun. I ate my last real meal and had my last bit of water on Thursday night around 6pm, took a hot Epsom salt bath, and went to sleep. Friday morning I had a double shot of espresso, a small sip of water, and a few spoonfuls of coconut butter then packed up all of my gear. I met my team at our gym and we caravaned up to our hotel. Three of us were cutting weight so we were quite cranky, tired, thirsty, and hungry. My husband deserves his own medal for putting with me during that entire process. We spent the time before weigh ins laying around the hotel room trying to distract ourselves. We packed up all of our goodies and set off to weigh in right at 5pm and all of us made weight. I came in around 138.5-139. Woohoo! We proceeded to eat our faces off until it was time to go to bed.
Saturday morning I got ready, went to breakfast with my team, and then we headed over to the venue to start getting warmed up. We registered, picked up our swag (Thank you again to all of the awesome sponsors), and started getting ready. We had to wear the contest t-shirts so, of course, I cut mine up after the first event. #teamcutoffforlyfe

Circus Dumbbell: Clean and press every rep, 60 seconds, 65#: I was not excited about this event because pressing a big dumbbell is not my thing. I ended up zero'ing this event but got painful close to getting a rep a few times. I wasn't really prepared to go on and had to rush getting my gear on so I was a bit flustered. I also just need to be brave when it comes to this implement. I WAS SO CLOSE so many times but didn't get under it. When I finished, I just got ready for the next event and kept my cool.
[photo by Stephanie Lau]
Farmers walk: 60 feet, 60 seconds, 130# per hand: I did well on this event with a time of 9.13 seconds. I feel like I could have gone faster but we were competing on astro turf which was a pretty major tripping hazard.
[photo by Stephanie Lau]
Yoke walk: 60 feet, 60 seconds, 375#: Moving events are my thing so I did well on this as well. I think I did this in 13 seconds? Again, the astro turf made this interesting - my feet were sinking into the ground pretty badly so I had to change the way I usually run. I was pretty proud of this time and I'm sure it's a big PR.
[photo by Stephanie Lau]
Shedlift, 60 seconds: This was brutal - it was outside in the freezing run and heavy as all getg out. I ended up taking a zero for this event as well. I actually pulled it once but didnt' wait for the down command because I injured myself (I ended up straining a few muscles in my abdomen pretty decently). I was hurting pretty badly after this. Luckily, my chiropractor is also a friend who came to spectate so she adjusted me and I had a PT on site tape me up.
I won't lie - I HURT. I was pissed and the pain was pretty bad. I assessed my movement abilities and the injury and had an idea of what it was and decided to keep going. I let the event go, got changed, and got ready for stones.
[photo by Stephanie Lau]
Stone flight, 5 stones, 75 seconds, 75#-180#, 58inches to 48inches (I think?): I was hurting pretty badly at this point. I had my coach belt me up (I never use a belt with stones) just to help get some margin of pain relief and got ready. We were all concerned about the tall platform - the first stone was very light but being only 5'5, a tall platform is ROUGH. I ended up absolutely flying through the first 4 stones and got stuck on the 180#. At that point, my side really started to hurt and I just couldn't deadlift it off of the ground. 180# is something I can do in training on almost any given day but at that point, I was just too hurt to do it. I was pretty annoyed by it but let it go and got changed again.
[photo by Stephanie Lau]
I ended up taking 8th out of 10 in an absolutely stacked Lightweight Open class. Seriously, I have never seen such an impressive field of competitors - these ladies were national caliber and world class, literally. Could I have done better? Probably. I made a few errors that I won't make again and overall, I need to bring up my pressing and my deadlift (story of my life). But this is my first time competing in the open - which is really a whole different caliber of competition. It's tough - tenths of a second separate people and it really pushes you to see what you're capable of. I think my biggest takeaway of the entire day was that I made a lot of stride in my approach to competition and my game day mindset. I was calm, cool, and collected the majority of the time. I wasn't really nervous, I didn't get in my head, and I didn't get crazy. I focused on the task at hand, knew what I needed to do, and did my best.
I really cannot stress how PROUD I am of my entire team. We had several girls competing for the first time who were understandably nervous - they trained HARD over the past few months and it showed. The rest of us who have competed before were also nervous due to the amazing women we were competing against. Everyone did such a great job on Saturday and the support was unbelievable. I don't think I've ever given so many hugs, yelled so loudly (I nearly lost my voice), or celebrated so much during a competition. I have a great barometer for where I am, what I need to work on, and where I can go from here.
Time to work.

Claiming that there was no internal democracy in family-based parties in the country, Shah said BJP can ensure all-round development of Telangana.
"It is only the BJP, which can take on the communal MIM in Telangana and not the ruling TRS," he said.
Observing that funds to the tune of Rs 90,000 crore have been given to Telangana since the NDA government resumed office two years ago, he alleged that the money is not reaching the ground level.
Shah said he is ready to give an account of the funds allocated to the state.

I studied the preparedness of accounting professors in the Rochester, New York area related to teaching International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in accounting courses at their institution through a survey of educators conducted during December 2011. I found Rochester‐area college professors responded that overall college professors are not prepared to teach International Financial Reporting Standards nationwide with a total of 69.23%. Professors are more prepared by a slim margin in the Rochester‐area institutions with a total of 57.69% professors responding that their own institution was prepared to teach International Financial Reporting Standards. Based on experience, professors with less experience, whether as a professional or professor, believe more so than more experienced professors that both nationwide and institutionally college professors are not prepared to teach IFRS. Male and female professors both agreed that nationwide professors are not prepared to teach IFRS. However, institutionally, 6 out of 7 males (85.71%) were more confident in their own institutions in the Rochester‐area, deeming their institution prepared to teach IFRS, while 5 out of 7 females (71.43%) believed their institution was not prepared to teach IFRS. I found no differences among preparedness based on institution type (public vs. private). Overall, my study provides evidence regarding the state of local accounting professors' readiness to prepare students for a global economy using IFRS as a standard for reporting.

News of the Khirbet Qeiyafa fragment is filtering into the mainstream press, and continues to undermine the long accepted position of Biblical minimalists who have argued that the Bible could not have been written when it claims to have been written:
The breakthrough could mean that portions of the Bible were written centuries earlier than previously thought. (The Bible's Old Testament is thought to have been first written down in an ancient form of Hebrew.)
Until now, many scholars have held that the Hebrew Bible originated in the 6th century B.C., because Hebrew writing was thought to stretch back no further. But the newly deciphered Hebrew text is about four centuries older, scientists announced this month.
"It indicates that the Kingdom of Israel already existed in the 10th century BCE and that at least some of the biblical texts were written hundreds of years before the dates presented in current research," said Gershon Galil, a professor of Biblical Studies at the University of Haifa in Israel, who deciphered the ancient text.
Archaeology continues to vindicate Scripture, and the more this is realized on a popular level the better.

Cyanogen Inc, the company behind the popular CyanogenMod OS, which is based on Android, has announced that they are giving their company a new look.
Cyanogen Inc has revealed a new design for their logo and also some new branding, which you can see in the photos below.
Cyanogen Inc., the company founded to help support and expand CyanogenMod, is growing. As a company grows, its brand must evolve to meet that need. The brand should continue to embody the spirit of the company origins, but also speak to the future. The company's new logo is the vehicle to showcase that brand.
The center displays the importance of the user – the focus of the brand. The 'C' brings together the company and the community – users, developers, contributors and fans. Working together we have provided a safe and secure environment for the user; one free of walls of restrictions. The arrow points forward – driving all things forward to bigger and better things.
The overall brand invokes the concept of tools and building; the tightening of screws as you put together a project. The screws also signal a project in motion – the settings you are presented – the choices you make in using your phone probably differ from the choice of your nearest neighbor.
Cyanogen Inc will be launching a new smartphone shortly with startup smartphone maker OnePlus, the handset is called the OnePlus One and this will be the first device to launch that runs CyanogenMod as their main OS,
There have been other devices to launch with CyanogenMod as an OS, but they have also offered alternative operating systems.

Good Morning! It's time for another fun Timeless Tuesday, again!
This weeks Timeless Tuesday's hostess is Heather and she is challenging everyone to create a card using the BINGO method. Every time I hear the word BINGO, I think "..And Bingo was his Name-O!" Be careful, that song can get stuck in your head :)
Here is the fun Bingo card with choices for us to choose from.
Please visit the rest of the team to gather more Flourishes inspirations.
Thank you for visiting and please have a great day!

I keep on getting caught up in the spider-webs on my island. Why is it this time of year that they appear all over the place?
I hate spiders!
A great regatta again with 15 boats taking part.
Wind was 18 Kts SW
We sailed the North Sea Olympic (long)
Well done to Armano, Anu and Viv as well as the rest of the sailors. Great race. We saw Gwen sail the RiX sailboard for the first time too.
Then we sailed 3 laps of the North Sea Short Loop course
Well done to Anu, Beane and Lucy.
A few notes: Rain didn't have an ID, but we followed her and placed her accordingly. Her lap times may not have been exactly as shown, but the placing is correct. Qyv sailed the Q-44 which didn't have a handicap so a final placing an not be calculated. We'll add the handicap soon.
Thank you to Arya for helping me, to Gwen for the party management and to Robyn for spinning the disks.
The party was so cool we had to kick them out when it got so late!
What a fantastic Regatta !
Slick sailing, fantastic people and great ambiance.
This Open Regatta was perhaps our biggest to date with 20 boats taking part, but at least three of them crewed, perhaps more and a whole lot of speculators coming to watch some of the best sailing in SL.
An excellent race with no crashes. 20 boats of all shapes and size on a course that crosses itself and no crashes, how cool is that!
Race 1 was the North Sea Olympic Course
Race 2 was the 3 laps of the North Sea Short Loop Course
Yours truly messed up in the first running of the second race. I didn't turn on the multiple laps on the line, so we all set off for 3 laps and after a little while, we realised that race was over when it was obviously not… silly me. So we restarted and did it again. Stopping the 1st race using an unconventional method 🙂
The second time was much better and 3 or 4 sailors who crashed or messed up their camera in the first effort, were happy to try again. We did have 2 DNF unfortunately. It is a really tricky course as the boats are on top of each other around the tight corners.
Well done to all !! Thanks for participating 🙂
Thanks to Gwen for her great party installation. Thanks to Robyn for playing the music for the party. Thanks to Fabber for filming the event. Thanks to Elbag for giving me support during the event.

Yesterday we had another fantastic Blue Lagoon Marina Open Regatta where we raced the North Sea Olympic and the fun North Sea Short Loop course.
We had 20 boats in the first race, 17 in the second. An Excellent turnout and quite a few of the usual suspects weren't even here (Orca, Roy, Destiny, Kurt, Deni, Laycee, Corsakov, Leon etc.).
Results of Race 1 North Sea Olympic
Results of Race 2 North Sea Short Loop
Well this was interesting. The Takos are certainly flying. Perhaps I'll add a table for them to just check the handicap 🙂 Well done to Anu and Armano for the great times and for coming first and second respectively in the first race.
Maiti upset the Takos in the second race with her excellent times. Well done to her. This is handicap racing at its best.
Well done to Saphy and ZZ for racing their very first race in their new yacht!! Saphy did really well as she had been practising a lot recently. ZZ would have done better if she had concentrated more on the race and less on taking the photos 😉 ZZ, we are very grateful for you photos though. See the link to them below.
We had a few other newcomers. Welcome to TigerLilly, Colette, Philip and Wolfie.
I just wish these times and scores could be shown immediately after the race. We have a plan to do this. I'm just looking for a kick-ass web database programmer to implement the plan. I will have a live handicap racing scoreboard up and running sometime folks. Any interested parties, please contact me.
Some interesting info comes out of the scores. We had increased the SC Marlin handicap earlier in the day from 0.74 to 0.90. Thanks to Rosie and Anu for helping with that. Still Saphy did really well for a new racer. I think 0.90 is a good handicap for now. We will monitor it overt the next few months.
We will do the same for the Loonetta handicap. I need some experienced sailors with the Loonetta 31 to race the NS Olympic course and send me their times please.
Thanks to Mariane for helping me manage the boats. Thanks to Gwen for laying out the party gear. Thanks to ZZ for the photos.
Some photos from ZZ, here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/zzbottom/sets/72157646524251420/
A photo of the boats before the racing. We were discussing textures and of course Rei and Rain had to pull out all their boats. What a wonderful sight in the North Sea sunset. See you next week folks!
We raced Topless Tuesday in the North Sea whilst Triumphal is being restructured.
The bateau du jour was the M-24. Wind was SW 18Kts.

Well done to Justin, Beane and James, our winners. Well done to all for some wonderful sailing.
Well done to TigerLilly for buying the M-24 half an hour before the race, unpacking at Breanut, rezzing and setting it up and then racing for the first time. We hope that you come back and race more.
We had good fun yesterday racing the Patch II in the North Sea.
I came up with a new course, the North Sea Trapezoid course which is based on a common RL sailing course design.
Very similar to the North Sea Olympic, it has two upwind legs, two reaches and two shorter down wind legs. What is interesting here is the location of the course in relation to the islands which force you to think carefully about the choice of direction you take.
Anyway, we all seemed to enjoy it. I raced and won the race. This was, in my opinion lucky for a number of reasons. Firstly Destiny was on the dock, second, Orca was busy taking photos and missed one important turn, and thirdly Justin was busy talking Italian with his crew. I just slipped past them all.
Wind was SW 18kts.

The second race claimed Orca as a victim, she lost her camera on a crossing, but I also lost mine just as I started my 3rd lap. I was staring at the keel and navigating using the minimap and my info hud and listening to the luffing sail.

We had a fun and interesting Open Regatta yesterday. The weather was warm, the sky was clear and waters calm. A fresh SW 18kt wind had all the boats flying along.
There were 3 new boats sailing that we haven't seen before, the Dolphin Moth, the Quest T-28 and the JG44. The Moth is a speed demon and goes so fast you can hardly see it if you are standing still on the ground. No wonder it was to hard to film. The Moth crossed the line first in both races, but was it first overall…?
Well here we are racing handicap races where the boats are handicapped according to a formula that tires to level the playing field for all. I explain it like this to some folk:
If 3 perfect sailors, on a perfect day race 3 different boats, they make no errors and they all sail a perfect course – they will cross the line at different times because the boats are different – but when the handicap is applied, they will all get exactly the same corrected lap time.
We are not all perfect however and what handicap racing does, is test the sailor on the day. Not how good or bad the boat is.
We have now a handicap for the Dolphin Moth as you see below. This was calculated from 11 courses (North Sea Olympic) sailed by 3 sailors. It has the highest handicap of 1.77. This will, like all other handicaps, be re-evaluated over time.
So for Race 1 we raced the North Sea Olympic Course.
So for Race 2 we raced the North Sea Circle Course.
Well done to Anu for winning both races, first in the Tako and then in the WW OP-60. Well done to Mel and Justing for coming 2nd and 3rd respectively in the 1st race. Well done to James and Qyv for coming 2nd and 3rd respectively in the 2nd race.
Thanks to Maiti for helping me manage the boats for the races.
Thanks to Gwen for laying on such a wonderful spread for the party.
Here below, we are hanging around the bar before the race. One of the reasons Justin didn't do so well was that he had one too many whilst chatting up the babes. I'm sure he could have won the race if he was more sober. Anu and Goku got distracted play Tetris whilst we sat drinking pixelated Piña coladas.
The start of the North Sea Olympic:
Mel finishing before half the fleet have done half the course:
The after party. Its getting popular, this is the place to be on Wednesday nights:

Using Lived Experience in Evaluating Mental Health Peer Support
by Julie Billsborough | Richard Currie | Sarah Gibson | Rajvi Kotecha-Hazzard | Andreja Mesaric
This essay was originally published as the afterword to the early research findings of the evaluation of the Side by Side programme. In it the researchers who used their lived experience of mental health problems and peer support whilst working on the evaluation reflect on how including that expertise from experience strengthened the research.

Lived experiences in research – opportunities and problems
by Ruth Sayers
The roles of a therapist and a research interviewer have different goals, but both involve personal conversations. And both challenge us to think about how we use our lived experience to facilitate the conversation, how it may affect what is said to us and how we interpret that.Read More

McPin Methods
by Ian Bradshaw
The 30th of November saw the first of what we will hope will be a series of methods workshops. It brought together over 70 researchers to discuss how to integrate 'lived experience expertise in mental health research teams'. The event was massively oversubscribed and if the fact that we had to cut short discussions before we were physically kicked out of the venue is any guide, it succeeded in its aim of stimulating debate and the sharing of ideas.

Is collecting participant support preferences in interviews with vulnerable people helpful?
by Vanessa Pinfold
Recently, we decided to take an audit across three separate projects to see how participants responded to our questions about their preferences for support. We decided to present what they told us as an infographic. We would love for you to tell us what you think of this approach – do you think that asking participants for their support preferences as part of the research recruitment process is helpful? Do you have any concerns ? Let us know your thoughts.Read More

#RCTDebate – what did we learn?
by Vanessa Pinfold
Our first ever public event was held on 8th October 2015 at the Jerwood Space. This was a chance to bring people with different expertise together to consider the role of the RCT (Randomised Control Trial) in mental health research design. It was also the launch of our Talking Point series of papers – a group of papers written by survivor / service user researchers on under discussed topics. Our launched paper by Alison Faulkner has a title that speaks for itself: "RCTs: the straitjacket of mental health research?Read More

Talking Point: RCTs- the straitjacket of mental health research?
by McPin Foundation
We had our first public event and the launch of our Talking Point series on Thursday 8th October 2015 at Jerwood Space in Southwark. We looked at the role of the Randomised Control Trials in mental health research with the help of Professor Sonia Johnson from University College London and Dr Steve Gillard from St George's University of London. Alison Faulkner, survivor researcher and trainer provided an overview of her Talking Point paper and we hosted a discussion. We also had a live twitter discussion during the event: #RCTDebate.Read More

Involvement in research and trials: the participants' perspective
by Ben Gray
A crucial factor in making a piece of research successful or not is participant engagement. Do people want to take part and can you keep them engaged for follow-up if that is required? But very little research has been carried out of participant experiences of what's involved in "taking part in research" and why people do.Read More

PORTLAND — A late surge in voting on Tuesday propelled Question 1 to a narrow victory, 4,888 to 4,605, and at least temporarily blocked the sale of Congress Square Park to developers of the Westin Portland Harborview Hotel.
The margin of support for the referendum, 51 percent to 49 percent, reflected about an 18 percent turnout by the city's 52,330 registered voters.
"It was very close, but we were happy to win," said Protect Portland Parks co-chairman David LaCasse on Tuesday evening, after the unofficial results were in. "It highlighted how important parks were to people."
Passage of the referendum adds 35 parcels to the city Land Bank, established in 1999 to preserve public space, and mandates approval by eight city councilors before a Land Bank parcel can be sold.
Included in the amendments to the city Land Bank ordinance is the entirety of Congress Square Park. Last September, the City Council voted 6-3 to sell about 9,500 square feet of the plaza at Congress and High streets to the Westin developer, RockBridge Capital.
The referendum requires a citywide vote should seven or fewer councilors approve the sale of a Land Bank parcel, and is retroactive to Sept. 6, 2013, shortly before the council approved the Congress Square sale.
Opponents of the referendum, led by former Mayor Jim Cohen and the political action committee Forward Portland, had raised more than $53,000 to defeat the referendum.
"Obviously, we are disappointed in the vote," Cohen said Tuesday night. "But we do believe people want the square improved."
Next steps remained elusive for both sides. City Corporation Counsel Danielle West-Chuhta has said the council's approval of the sale could trigger another referendum, but Cohen was not sure what members of Forward Portland might do next in support of the sale.
Rob Levin, the attorney who wrote the referendum's amendments to the ordinance, said he hoped the vote would renew discussions of park improvements, including suggestions already under consideration since last summer.
"We are looking forward to working cooperatively," Levin said. "We hope to re-start the conversation. There is lots of passion on both sides."
The victory at the polls for Protect Portland Parks came after a long struggle with the city to even get the referendum on the ballot. City officials refused to recognize the petition drive for the ordinance amendments, saying they covered administrative aspects that were the responsibility of city councilors.
Last October, Cumberland County Superior Court Justice Joyce Wheeler ruled in favor of Protect Portland Parks and allowed the petition drive to go forward. The city appealed her decision to the Maine Supreme Judicial Court. Maine's high court upheld Wheeler's decision on May 6, allowing the referendum to occur Tuesday.
Councilors also enacted a separate measure designed to protect many of the same parcels, but excluded the 9,500 square feet of land to be sold to RockBridge. The developer has planned to use the space to add an events center to the Westin.
The amendments to the city Parks, Recreation and Public Building Code require approval by seven councilors to sell land after gaining a favorable opinion from the city Parks Commission. The amendments went into effect May 28.
Forward Portland members included Mayor Michael Brennan, Councilors Ed Suslovic and Jon Hinck, former City Manager Jim Gray and State Theatre and Port City Music Hall General Manager Lauren Wayne.
Spending reports filed by Protect Portland Parks and Forward Portland through June 6 show each side received infusions of cash in the final days leading to the election. On June 4, RB Portland LLC, the RockBridge entity listed as buyers of the park land, contributed $12,500 to Forward Portland.
In all, RB Portland contributed $20,000 of the more than $53,000 Forward Portland raised. The Portland Regional Chamber of Commerce contributed a total of $15,000, with $10,000 listed as from "commercial sources" and the remainder from a "non-profit organization."
Protect Portland Parks received a $10,000 contribution from Diversified Communications on June 4 and a $10,000 loan from Neal Street resident Noni Ames. The campaign received $30,000 total in loans, with two other $10,000 loans coming from Alison Hildreth and LaCasse.
On Tuesday, Levin said he hoped the loans could be repaid after the city pays legal costs associated with contesting the referendum question.

This research developed important new results on the use of spectral analysis techniques to evaluate groundwater resources. The linear theory of aquifer spectral response in the frequency domain is developed, including effects of aquifer slope, vertical flow, variable transmissivity and other features. Numerical simulations of the nonlinear effects in the spectral domain are developed and show that the nonlinear effects are typically quite small, thus making the simple linear theory applicable for most field situations. Some additional features which are explored are the effects of spatial variability of hydraulic conductivity and the influence of transient flow in the partially saturated zone above the water table. Through spectral analysis in the wave number domain, an error criterion is established for a simple observation network which is used to measure groundwater flow. The effects of storage in the partially saturated zone on the frequency spectrum of groundwater fluctuations are estimated and found to be negligible in most cases. The theoretical results are applied to evaluate, through spectral analysis, time series of groundwater levels, precipitation and stream stage for a site in Kansas. From these data, using a procedure based on the linear spectral theory, estimates of aquifer transmissivity and storativity are developed. The procedure yields parameter estimates which are in agreement with those obtained from pumping tests. The results of the study should be applicable under specified conditions to the estimation of aquifer parameters from natural fluctuations of groundwater level.

Hey Everyone
I'm busy at work on my picture book Boats For Papa, but I wanted to take a minute to mention that the Western Washington SCBWI chapter is having an illustrators exhibit at the Washington State Convention Center. There will be work for viewing by many of the talented local SCBWI illustrators, including a piece from me. The show goes up October 10th and runs through January 8th, 2014. There is going to be an opening reception on October 27th from 2-5pm. Check out the poster below for the extra details (and it's my image from the show they used on the poster-a neat surprise to me).
I hope some of you can make it!
