Set your DVRs: It's the return of Chicharito
Boy Wonder Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez will be back with the Mexican national team this evening in its second friendly of the year. It's been too long!
But wait, there's more. Memo Ochoa is back. Rafa is back. Gio and his brother Jonathan are back. Personal favorite Chuy Corona is back.
Even with so much strong Mexican talent coming together, El Tri aren't favored to win. Colombia has a lot of talent too and a new coach (meaning players are going to be showing off their talents).
For those of us on the West Coast, the game starts at 5 p.m., which means I'll be stuck in traffic and missing the first half. But that's alright… I've taken precautionary measures. Here's the info you'll need to set those DVRs:
5 p.m. PST, UNIVISION
Team Rosters
I went through and highlighted the players I was excited to see for personal and professional reasons. Of course, there's more on the Mex team, mainly because I'm more aware of them.
Goalkeepers: David Ospina (Niza/FRA); Luis Martínez (Once Caldas/COL).
Defenders: Mario Alberto Yepes (Milán/ITA); Pablo Armero (Udinese/ITA); Camilo Zúñiga (Nápoli/ITA); Luis Amaranto Perea (Atlético de Madrid/SPA); Cristian Zapata (Villareal/SPA); Bernardo Espinosa (Racing de Santander/SPA); Aquivaldo Mosquera (América/MEX)
Midfielders: Carlos Sánchez (Valenciennes/FRA); Abel Aguilar (Hércules/SPA); James Rodríguez (FC Porto/POR); Juan Guillermo Cuadrado (Lecce /ITA); Elkin Soto (Mainz 05/GER); Giovanni Moreno (Racing de Avellaneda/ARG); Aldo Leao Ramírez (Morelia/MEX); Gustavo Bolívar (Deportes Tolima/COL)
Forwards: Radamel Falcao García (Atlético de Madrid/SPA); Jakson Martínez (Jaguares/MEX); Teófilo Gutiérrez (Racing de Avellaneda/ARG); Dayro Moreno (Once Caldas/COL); Dorlan Pabón (Atlético Nacional/COL)
Goalkeepers: Guillermo Ochoa (AC Ajaccio/FRA); Jesús Corona (Cruz Azul/MEX)
Defenders: Rafa Márquez (New York Red Bulls/USA), Héctor Moreno (RCD Espanyol de Barcelona/SPA), Francisco Javier Rodríguez (Club VfB Stuttgart/GER), Enrique Pérez (Morelia/MEX), Efraín Juárez (Celtic/ESC), Hugo Ayala (Tigres/MEX), Carlos Salcido (Tigres/MEX)
Midfielders: Andrés Guardado (Deportivo La Coruña/SPA), Jonathan Dos Santos (FC Barcelona/SPA); Pablo Barrera (Real Zaragoza/SPA), Jorge Torres Nilo (Tigres/MEX), Jesús Zavala (Monterrey/MEX), Gerardo Lugo (Morelia/MEX), Damián Álvarez (Tigres/MEX)
Forwards: Javier "Chicharito" Hernández (Manchester United/ENG), Giovani dos Santos (Tottenham Hotspur FC/ENG), Oribe Peralta (Santos/MEX), Miguel Sabah (Morelia/MEX)
PHOTO: Players I'm most excited to see include Chicharito, Rafa, Gio, Jonathan, Chuy y Memo.
My accidental vegetarian dinner party
Sunday night I hosted a dinner party for a friend. It was her birthday a few weeks ago and since I bailed on her earlier shindig, I chose to throw a little fête at my pad… 12 hours after running a half marathon. Super smart planning.
I realized, when it was all said and done, that it was completely vegetarian. I hadn't set out to do this, but it's a happy coincidence.
Blame it on running delirium or being awake for 20 hours, but I didn't take any photos of my party food or preparations. What follows is a menu, a collection of photos from friends and the internet.
~Cocktail Hour~
I made a pineapple sangria with Pisco and Sauvignon Blanc. It steeped for more than 13 hours. No photo available, but here's a nice looking sangria. Just picture cubed pineapples. (PHOTO: random internet)
We had a lentil spread with walnuts and mustard, some sliced vegetables and crackers. Also, courtesy of by brother, Garlic Knots from Fresh Brothers pizza (the only item I didn't make). Again, no photos and my spread looked nothing like this… but, what are you going to do? (PHOTOS: Scavenged from internet)
Roasted Brussels sprouts and beets on a bed of mixed greens and baby arugula, sprinkled with pepitas. This photo IS from my dinner. (PHOTO courtesy: Birthday Girl)
Spinach and mushroom lasagna made with cottage cheese and goat cheese. (PHOTO: from the internet with nice lighting)
The "I Can't Believe You Made That" cake. Not only did I make it, but that is it's formal name. Lazying around watching my favorite Cooking Channel shows, I saw Chef Lorraine make this on hers, Simply Baking. Instead of chocolate cigarillos, I lined my chocolate cake with alternating dark chocolate and almond wafers. Topped with a heaping mound of raspberries. (PHOTO courtesy: Dinner guest Nikki D-M)
Running socks. Why again?
I've been out of the blogging loop for awhile, and for that, I apologize.
So here comes a jab-jab-uppercut series of blogs to get us all up to speed.
I ran the Pasadena RocknRoll Half Marathon this weekend. I need to be reminded why I choose to do these things because right now, it seems like a fool's errand. It socked. Or sucked. Whichever.
For the following reasons:
- Failed to eat dinner the night before. I spent Saturday night prepping for dinner party I was hosting after the race. I thought it was genius on my part to plan a meal that didn't require a lot of actually work the day of, so I set aside many things to do the night before. I gave myself a three-hour window, but more than doubled it. By the time I ended, I was too tired to eat.
- Didn't rest properly. See above. I made it to bed past midnight and woke up four hours later. The organizers made a big deal about being in the parking lot no later than 6:30 a.m. Having been to the Rose Bowl during sold-out events, the last thing I wanted was to be stuck in the residential streets and timed out of my parking spot. I woke up and left my house earlier than I ever would have. Totally not necessary! Parked 40 minutes later.
- Nausea. I'm going to chalk this one up to a combination of No. 1 and No. 2, and a hastily eaten pre-race breakfast. Either way, not a normal morning for me.
- New running socks. Knee-high compression socks, which are meant to speed up my healing process, made my feet numb. I couldn't feel my toes beginning with mile 3.
- Shoddy training. I'll fall on this sword, no problem. I didn't do such a bang-up job and it came back to bite me in the ass with a vengeance. I got to 10 miles in training. On race day, as if on cue, my body falls apart after mile 10. It took an extra 5 minutes to run another mile, and like 20 minutes for the others.
- Pasadena. Yes, Pasadena is a reason in itself. It has hills (big ones) and when it doesn't have hills, it has flat ground. EXCEPT IT'S NOT REALLY FLAT There's always some little incline… Curse you, Pasadena.
I could say I've learned my lesson but only time will tell if that's the case. Next up, LA 26 days from now. I think I won't plan to host a party the day of… that'll be a start.
PHOTO: We did get to run around the bridge, seen in the finisher's medal, so that was a positive note.

Week 6 update: I need a spatula
There are two schools of thought in race training. The first is you work hard and consistently so you can rest the week before the race. No long runs. No hills. Pure maintenance. The second is you work inconsistently all the way to race day because planning is not your strength. No rest the week before. You do long runs. You do hills. You get sideswiped by a kid on a bike. You almost fall into a storm drain.
One guess where I lie… Yes, almost in a storm drain.
The half marathon is next weekend and I have no clue what the course will look like. I know it's in Pasadena, which of course means hills. Here's the rub: I didn't really train for hills. Oops
This weekend, when I should be well-trained and well-rested, I ran 10 miles full of hills. It began and ended with mammoth inclines. I didn't calculate slopes, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were around 75 percent. This shit was steep. Like too-steep-to-drive steep.
As can be expected, it sucked. Big time. I was running so slow up the hill I should have just walked and saved my energy. What I was missing was my own assistant coach with a spatula.
Anyone ever see David Schwimmer's masterpiece Run, Fatboy, Run? It's classic Simon Pegg as an out-of-shape security officer who decides to run the London Marathon as a way to show up the sexy douche (Hank Azaria) who's dating his ex-baby mama. Anyway, part of Pegg's team includes his landlord Mr. G who encourages with more of a stick (aka spatula) than carrot. I feel I could respond to that.
If you see me dying on the course, please feel free to give me a little shove.

Small wonder I get any work done
I'm in month #2 of the yearlong quest to organize my life. It's dubbed The Clean Space-Clean Mind Project, or The Great Purge or The Get Your Shit Together Enterprise. Like I mentioned earlier, February is all about paper. Papers, files, documents, magazines, books, pamphlets, office-type stuff…
Today was a huge day in The Great Purge. My desk was getting out of hand. I spent the last hour and a half making sense of it. Threw out stuff. Recycled stuff. Filed stuff (The filing cabinet is next on the to-do. It's getting incredibly full) This is what I have to show for it.
Nice and neat, right? You can even see the Animal Butt series painted by a truly avant-garde and underappreciated artist. (Hells yes, I'm talking about me! I'll be happy to sell replicas — elephant, lion, giraffe)
Just for comparison's sake, this is how I started out the day…
Right?! Small wonder, indeed!

Week 5 update: Preparing to fail
Coach Wooden is everywhere at UCLA. And rightly so! But I've had him ringing in my ears all week. More precisely, this little truism…
Alright, Coach! You got me. I've been slacking on my training. The half marathon is 16 days away and I still haven't run 10 miles. I did no running this week (again). I could blame it on the wind or the freak Achilles' heel pain. But really? Would you believe that?
I hereby pledge to run 10 miles this weekend, come hell or high winds or sporting events. Furthermore, I pledge to conscientiously put on my socks (no wrinkles) and look deep within for my own personal Pyramid of Success.
I am a Bruin, damn it. It's in our stock. I will not fail.

Mess in the woods
prophylactics.....Come on dude...just call them rubbers.
I have to tell you this story. it was sometime in the mid 90's. Top of American Fork canyon above American Fork Utah. I was at my elk hunting spot on side of the mountain. i climbed up from the north side to the south side. So I am sitting there, and I hear music from way down below. I start scanning with my binoculars. I spot a few people and a very vague screen of smoke. Then I'm thinking , well this spot is shot . Needless to say I wasnt happy. So I hike out, and drive around to that side of the mountain to check it out. I get there, and there is a sign on a paper plate that says Hairy Scary Monster, the name of the party. I vaguely remembered seeing signs up the canyon as I was driving up in the dark. So evidently they were signs to the party. There is no way to describe what I found at the site. Shotgun shells, prophylactics, beer not opened, chairs, tires, all kinds of trash, you name it, it was there. One of the reasons I did go check it out initially, is that they left the fire burning which is no 1 wrong out west. I immediately went down the canyon and called it in to Utah "DNR" but it was a Sunday, so they aren't coming. I was so ticked off I went back up there and took everything and loaded it in my truck. So as I was cleaning up,I noticed one of the chairs had a name on it first and last. I looked it up in the phone book when I got back down the canyon and got the address. When I got to that house it had trash all around it just like the party. I figured I had the right place and backed up in the driveway and dumped it all out.And even if it wasnt the right place I figured whos'ever name was on that chair would know who it was that trashed the mountain.
Alright already, quite your bitchin I'll go back and pick it up. De Chaney.
I have a home in Delta WI. (Bayfield Cty.). The Delta-Drummond Rd. is a dumping ground for all of the visitors that come up to enjoy the area during the summer. The low lives just throw their garbage out out the car windows and feel its alright because they don't live there and somebody else can pick it up. Please just keep your trash in your car until you get to your destination or stop for gas and throw it away there. Another thing people don't realize is when they throw hot cigarette butts out the car window when the fire hazards are so high they can start a forest fire very quickly. Have some respect for other peoples space.
Track down any DeShaney's in your hunting area.

This morning, I walked down to the mailbox to see if I had any exciting new Amazon deliveries I had forgotten about. It was early, but light out. I wasn't worried about skunks since they are nocturnal.
I was heading back to the barn when the dogs turned their attention to something that apparently smelled fantastic in the field. They were jumping around and pawing at whatever it was.
I saw something black moving in the grass, but I didn't know if it was a snake or a skunk or what. Maverick got it in her mouth and started prancing around with her prize. She would drop it, then grab it and run around again.
It was a fluffy baby mouse.
The poor little mouse was terrified and on the verge of death-by-dog. Maverick had shaken it wildly and tossed it into the air like a toy. And now, it lay in the gravel, wondering what it had done in life to be put through such a horrific torture.
I had no choice but to remove the fancy vellum paper out of the wedding invitation I was carrying and use it to pick up the ailing mouse by the tail.
This poor baby was suffering and I knew I had to put it out of his or her misery.
Without hesitation, I proceeded to place the sweet little creature in a grocery bag and smashed it with a hammer several times.
That's right. I am now a woman who has no problem smashing a mouse to death with a hammer.
I'm not proud of what I have become.

As we journey through life, we don't go alone, rather we include people we like and love. Why not use them as a resource to building up your self-esteem. People with low self-worth usually feel they don't deserve help by others. Is that really true?

In your journey to building your self-esteem, self-nurturing is an important ingredient in feeling good about yourself. Treat yourself as a worthwhile person.
It's important to challenge those past negative experiences or inner voice by caring for yourself in ways that show you are valuable, competent, deserving and lovable. Here are some ways you can start nurturing yourself today:
What Are Positive Affirmations?Posted by Pat on January 18th, 2015 04:13 PM | Self-Esteem | No Comment
Positive affirmations are statements you make to yourself to replace your negative thoughts. It's a way to release yourself from other's opinions, negative beliefs about yourself and replace troubling thoughts and feelings with a positive outlook about who you are. Self-esteem can be altered and affirmations is one way to create a new path of thinking about yourself. When you are willing to replace negative with positive thoughts around yourself, others and life in general, you start to take responsibility for your well-being. Take the negative emotional baggage in your life and start to create a more realistic and positive life.

When we enter our 60s, we may be ready to retire, though full retirement may still be several years away. We continue to work, alongside several different, though younger generations, and are not always accepted for what we have to offer, as well as don't want to work as hard as we did in the past. We are on a different journey in our careers.

There's a lot of buzz these days about patient experience. Lots of talk about becoming the Apple, Nordstrom, or Starbucks of health care. But what is the "patient's perspective" and how is it relevant to the care provided? How can we see it, know it, capture it? What can we interpret from it? How can a patient's perspective inform care delivery innovation? And while good design thinking, like good science, informs the practice of medicine every day, too often the long-tail patient experience is inconsistent, jarring, insensitive and downright scary. Consider how a deeper understanding of patient experience can inform care delivery, and ultimately improve care outcomes.

I had a quick rummage in the cupboards, and found some lovely thick zip-lock bags we'd picked up at the farmers market. Inspired by other posts I've seen, I filled one bag with fingerpaint, and stuck it to our glass dining table with sellotape. Indy loved it, and it was nice and easy, mess-free fun (hurrah!).
He loved it so much, I wanted it to continue, so I found another zip-lock bag and filled it with glitter and water, and taped them to a tray so he could play with them in the living room. He was captivated! He loved squidging the two bags at the same time, feeling the contrast between them, and seeing the colours mix. This is a definite one to repeat, he loved it so much he tried biting them both several times (do they ever get over the 'putting everything in their mouth' stage?).
I wanted to keep up the DIY sensory play, so the next day we had some fun with posting pasta. As I previously mentioned, Indy still puts absolutely everything in his mouth, so pasta is the perfect play item. I had an old coffee tub (definitely not a caffeine addict...) and carefully cut holes in the lid. I snapped a handful of spaghetti in half, and demonstrated to Indy how they slotted into the holes.This activity is great for hand-eye coordination, and the spaghetti made a really satisfying noise when it was dropped in. Again, this activity kept Indy focused for so long I was amazed. I'd never seen something grasp his attention for quite so long. Please excuse my unhoovered carpet, Indy chases me when I hoover and attempts to sit on it, so it's a task I manage only a couple of times a week. Landlords really love putting beige carpets into houses, eh?

Yesterday's Kitchen Challenge from I Heart Planners was to tidy dishes, mugs and cups. That prompted me to pack away the 10 place settings and serving pieces of Pfaltzgraff stoneware for our granddaughter. It took two containers and a lot of scrap quilt batting, but I got it done!
Now it was time to do some cabinet and countertop re-arranging. I moved the coffee pot across the kitchen. Next was to put all the coffee and tea paraphernalia in the cabinet where the stoneware used to be. The mugs were put on the same shelf. I re-arranged my baking pans and supplies above that. The appliances that are rarely used were put in the bottom cabinet.
Where the coffee and mugs were, now has the china from the buffet.
Our eclectic mix of stoneware also got some re-arranging.
Now for today's challenge: pots and pans!

The art of No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle is an action-adventure hack and slash videogame released for the Wii videogame system. It was developed by producer Suda51 from Grasshoper Entertainment and published by Ubisoft and Rising Star Games as a sequel to the first installment of the franchise. The story revolves around Travis Touchdown, who used to be the best assassin in the world, and is now confronted with a revenge plot schemed against him.
The art direction of the game reflects the over the top eccentric nature of the gameplay and story. Travis' design is extremely influenced by american culture (i.e the name touchdown) and shines in contrast with the japanese more line-based graphic style. Western and eastern styles work toghether to deliver and incredibly unique visual style.

[RP] RoleplayPost Reply
I see a girl standing there. I walk over to her. *walks over to you* did you by any chance know the road to Killios is? I'm kind of lost here... and hello. *smiles*
Glowstick busted. Floor is now glow in the dark! Legit.
Sola stared blankly at the girl. Killios. She'd never heard of it... "...I've never heard of the place... sorry. Are you looking for someone in particular?" She asked, maybe I shouldn't ask... I'm so nosy...
I smile softly to the girl. "Well I guess that's a problem for me... and um...." I think wether or not I should tell her. Man, I wish she didn't ask that. This is kind of hard to tll someone... I thought to yself as I look at her with my dark blue eyes. "Well, I am looking for someone. His name is Luey Votello. Have you heard of him? I'm doing something that involves him" I lied. I search her eyes if she had any reation to it.
Glowstick busted. Floor is now glow in the dark! Legit.
Sola, in fact, regretted asking. She rubbed the back of her head nervously, "Errr......" She hated akward moments. And then smiled, "Oh, your looking for someone? Luey Votello..." She thought about the name for a moment, "I think... I might have. Somewhere... I just don't remember where." She mumbled, feeling un-helpful. "Maybe there's like a... map, somewhere... around here. Er, a person who could help us along the way?" She felt dumb for asking, "Oh! I didn't even get your name... I'm Sola."
I look at the girl who called herself Sola. She seemed ok, it was ovbious she felt awkwurd. I tried as hard not to make it so. "Well it's ok if you don't know. I really don't mind. I haven't seen many people here in these woods, it almost seemed people avoided it." I sit down as I spoke to her. I look up at the sky to check if it was getting dark. The sky wa filled with clous, but known were rain clouds. I smile at the girl who said her name was Sola. "I'm Hana. I'm a traveler." I ied again. "I see the world around me as I go to places. how about you?"
Glowstick busted. Floor is now glow in the dark! Legit.
Sola thought about what Hana was saying. yeah... people DO seem to be avoiding it... And she returned the smile at Hana's introduction. "I am as well... a traveler... well, I think we could find more ground if I use my earth element? I can control the rocks underneath our feet. Ever ridden on a rock before?" She grinned.
I smiled back at Sola. I recognized that people seemed to be somewhat afraid, or cautious about this place. I felt it in the air, something was a bit off. "Do you thin that their is something in here? You know, not exactly normal.. " I was now a little more cautois then before. "Um yes I have actually. I named him Reo actually" a little tiny memory seemed to come to my mind as I said that. I miss those days... I can never go back to that anymore. Not what I have done at least. I thought to myself with a sad thought. It was not seen on my face, but it was there in my heart. "And thank you. You may do so."
Suddenly I heard a crack of a twig. It didnt seem to be a sound of a human.. "What was that?" I turn around quickly to see... (You finish it up!!)

[teeh hee C:
go there for more color codess ♥]
Sola looked around her surroundings once more, "...Probably. We better keep focused-" And just as she was about to bend the rocks to her will, she froze and stared at the source of the twig breaking. "Who's there...?" She asked a little tensely, realizing it was nothing to worry about.
"Oh... it's just a bunny..." She sighed, staring at the snow white bunny look around and hop over to them.
[LOL idk XD you said not sound of a human =w= so heres a BUNNY 8D]
I sighed with relief. At leas it wasn't worse than that. I looked at the bunny again. "hmmmm...." I picked up the bunny. I stared into i's eyes with interseted thoughts. Maybe I can kill it then cook it later. I thought to myself. Suddenly a voice comes out of no where. "Oy, put me down!" It was a boy's voice. It was the rabbit's! "Y-you can talk? Um, what are you?" I said with confusion. "I am Ren Mitsuragi!! I was posessed by someone. I was turned into a rabbit and is now forced to roam this very forest!" he said. I was still very intrigued and confused. "Ne, Sola, what should we do with him?" I asked
Glowstick busted. Floor is now glow in the dark! Legit.
...N-no wait! What if its a bunnie who rules this place? AND EATS PEOPLE! OMG! THAT MUST BE WHY THERE'S NO HUMAN LIFE HERE... and .... and.... Sola shook her head from her retarded conclusions, well, the bunny DID have red eyes... so... "Eat it! >:D" Sola was clearly on crack, joking around. "No... just kidding...... YOU CAN TALK!?" She just realized, and then realized something else. She walked over to this Ren Mitsuragi bunny/boy/possessed thing and petted it on its head. "Heyy, little guy... so you know this forest very well then?" She thought the bunny could help her and Hana out...
I watched as Sola was mutterin to herself retarted thoughts. She really kind of hypergetical person. I guess thi will be a long journey... I thought to myself. "Oy, if you thought about eating me, then you'll regret it. And of course. I'm a human you idiot!! I've only been in this form for a year, so not that much. I only know my way to get food. I can not help you..." he said to her. Obviously this guy was not a very patient type. "The reason why there aren't many people here is because there are monsters roaming these parts. They were made by an evil mage named Consto. Just in case you were wondering..."he was angry now.
I was now holding him like a child with a puppy. His back to my chest. "Great, a mage. I hate mages...." I looked at my necklace, it was shining a bit, but not that noticeable. Mayb he'll know about him... the mage who killed my brother.... I thought again "Well then, let's find this Consto." I adjusted my gloves and got my sword out. "He might have some information for me,and a way out."
I hear a sound and I threw a kunai in the direction, I had hit a pig straight on the forehead. " hm... food." I took the shuriken out. "This'll provide us some food for the next 2 wks. Nothing goes to waste." I spread my arms out and recite some indistanct words. "Hitaru, come out." suddenly, a wolf of blue and white appears. His gaze firm, and yet calm. He stads tall. "Hello my friend. It's hunting time." I say with a grin.
(btw, edted my profile thing. look at it while ur on this forum. She looks different now.)

[...you should put teh bunnie pic in a spoiler to make the forumpages look more... clean C:
big pictures popping out arent clean~]
Sola frowned when the bunny person thing said it couldn't help them. Sola listened intently to the bunnies story about an evil mage and monsters... what is this... a fairy tale? she sighed outloud, looking at Hana in bewilderment and jumped back in surprise. "W-where did a pig come from!? I refuse to eat pigs! PIG KILLER!!" Sola was just... a little over-exaggerating. She didn't like to hunt poor defenseless animals and then eat them... the thought disgusted her. I rather starve. She concluded to herself, nodding her head twice. Sola lifted a hand in the air, a single motion in the air made a big rock lift from the earth under, and she jumped on top of it, making it go higher. "I'll be back! I want to make sure we aren't the only ones here... I want to know my surroundings. Follow if you want to~ she went on her way then.
[i'll update meh chara pro soon too <:]
I look up at Sola leave. "Be careful though, you never know what's in this place. And go on ahead I'm goin to cook some of this." I said to her as I cooked it with my fire element. "Ren, tell me more about this mage guy." I was now eating the pig and watching the rabbit intently. I wanted to know as much as possible about whom I'm up against. I was curious.
"He's a terrible man. He can be killed, but he is immortal. His power is darkness, and darkness alone. He resides in the inner part of this woods, wherever that is. It is hidden though, in a invisible force. Those who have the power of darkness can only see it." He said. His voice sounded as though he wanted to strangle this man. I would take note of this. Gettin into the fortress would be easy. I just have to make sure I keep my secret hidden. I thought to myself. "Also, it is gaurded by some of his monters. Each one really strong" or not so easy...
"Hitaru, keep gaurd as I do something real quick. Also, do you sense any other life forms near us?" I said to Hitaru. "Yes, but all are animals. None seem unreal or dangerous at the moment." I gave him a bit of meat. "Good"
Glowstick busted. Floor is now glow in the dark! Legit.
Sola nodded at Hana's warning, flying away. She really liked just using her earth element to ride on top of rocks other than use her air. As she was riding, the wind blew harshly through her hair, and she looked down at the ground, the treetops swayed, and she could see a few animals here and there. "Hmm... I really feel isolated without a human population..." Sola muttered to herself, and suddenly, her ride disappeared. Poof. "W-w-whaaaaa!?" She was free falling down airborne, freaking out that her powers suddenly... poofed. She couldn't even manipulate the air...her elements were gone. She fell right into a pile of bushes head first, groaning to herself and trying to crawl out of them. "...A-are you kidding me!? ...Again?" Her powers would be temporally gone sometimes, for who knows what reason... she was suddenly sent back to the past by her flashbacks, of the air element village and the elder... who drove her away because she had the earth element as well. She growled at the thought, standing up and patting her clothes off. "W-whatever... screw him...!" She echoed through the forest.

A few more summer pics
These are a few random pictures from the summer. We made it to a few Braves games. Now every time we drive by the stadium Ainsley starts saying, " baseball, go Braves go!". Also, here's Ainsley with her little buddy Jasper (or Jasso/Jappa is more what it sounds like when she says it) and a picture of me with my friend Jana (Jasper's mommy). One more picture I had to throw in was my "nakey baby". Whenever Ainsley gets undressed she runs around saying, "nakey baby, nakey baby!". It's pretty cute. :)

In the final round of the game, called "Split or Steal," two contestants play a one-shot Prisoner's Dilemma — technically, it's a variant — choosing to either cooperate (and split a jackpot) or defect (and try to steal it). If one steals and the other splits, the stealer gets the whole jackpot. And, of course, if both contestants steal then both end up with nothing. There are lots of videos from the show on YouTube. (There are even two papers that analyze data from the game.) The videos are interesting to watch, not just to see how players cooperate and defect, but to watch their conversation beforehand and their reactions afterwards. I wrote a few paragraphs about this game for Liars and Outliers, but I ended up deleting them.
This is the weirdest, most surreal round of "Split or Steal" I have ever seen. The more I think about the psychology of it, the more interesting it is. I'll save my comments for the comments, because I want you to watch it before I say more. Really.
In 2003 I went to a TV show here in Brazil called "Sete e Meio", on SBT, that was exactly like this. My strategy was exactly the one that Bruce mentions, but unfortunately I never got to the final round — I got myself some money, though. 🙂

|Meara's first food, barley cereal
There are so many rules about first foods and it can seem a little overwhelming. According to the World Health Organization you shouldn't offer solids until 6 months of age, but I am going to follow the advice that I think came from Today's Parent, that you need to do what feels right as a mom, and if your baby is ready sooner, than go for it. Another recent change to the suggested first food is that you should offer meat to replenish your babies iron supply.
You know what, I am just throwing out the rule book. It is a headache and this isn't my first rodeo. I didn't add only one new food a week with the boys, they started meats around 9 months, had their first foods at 4 and they are still happy and healthy. Time to do this the way I want to (with input from Daddy of course).
We have already offered Meara some barley cereal, that I am not sure if she liked it or not but she took a few bites before losing interest.
Today, I picked up some butternut squash, apples, pears, sweet potatoes and kale. I am going to make a few purees, some with the cereal and some without. I am going to avoid buying baby food, instead opting to serve Meara what we are having whenever possible, and using my purees when our dinner isn't suitable.
|I bought this food mill from Cheeky Monkey so Meara can eat dinner with us. I used the same one with the boys and it is very convenient.

FREE Inspiration Book & Catalog
December 11, 2010
I know it seems like I have been missing in action for the past 2 weeks, and for the most part that is true! We are enjoying a family vacation in Hawaii and still have another week left in paradise. This picture was taken of the girls at the Hilton pool - we had just seen the sweetest dolphin show including a glimpse of the newest addition to the Dolphin family - a little baby just 4 months old!
I do have a card to share with you today. I made this Christmas card using Spellbinders Impressabilities I2-1006 Floral and Stone. Simply cut a portion of your Impressabilites using sharp scissors. I used clear adhesives on a few of the metal accents and adhered it to the red circle (Spellbinders Standard Circles Lg S4-114). The ornament is formed by mounting the circle onto an octagon shape cut from Spellbinders S4-187. The sentiment is a rub-on and the little string is just hand drawn with marker!
I hope you are having a wonderful week getting ready for the Holidays. See you soon

You might have to chmod +x the binary in your terminal What's New Version 1.0.27: • Minor update on February 5th, 2016 • No new license version required. New Features • Added support for Riegl .RDB v1.x files (3D files only). Changes To Existing Features • Double-Clicking an object in the Document Explorer will now perform Zoom Extents in the Viewport. • Made the Reduction operator used by the Mesher to implement the Simplify UI option visible in the Document Explorer. All "internal" operators can be reordered and even deleted. If an operator is requested again via the Mesher's UI, it will be recreated automatically. • When the file name in a Mesh Loader does not contain a Hacksaw partition signature, the option to Load Partitions will now be greyed out. • Various scripting improvements. Bug Fixes Point Loader • Fixed an error when loading certain versions of LAS files. • The Point Loader Scanner rollout did not refresh its title to reflect the rollout's content, this has been fixed. Point ROI • When creating a Point ROI and connecting it to an existing Point ROI, the new object will match the gizmo box of the existing one. Hacksaw • Fixed the Hacksaw feature which was reporting failure when the region contained no points. The process used to produce correct results (with no mesh files saved for the empty regions).

Previously, a click in the viewport was required to refesh. • Fixed a regression that was causing some invalid object choices to display in a Point ROI's Add... dialog. • When all errors are dismissed in the Task Manager, the ERROR link in the bottom right corner of the UI will now go away automatically. • Fixed the mouse wheel scrolling which was affecting the Camera even after disabling the Viewport/Camera Lock. Animation Saver • Fixed the Animation Saver to correctly synchronize Mesher and animated points. • Fixed a bug in the Animation Saver which caused a crash when saving an image sequence from a scene with an Image Projection. • Fixed a bug in the Animation Saver where the first few frames were saving with the wrong background. • Fixed a bug in the Animation Saver related to Image Projections where the Occlusion option was being ignored • Fixed a bug in the Animation Saver where an animated Camera was affecting the Image Projection settings.

This is my first successful loaf...perfect & tasty!
For the water roux/tangzong
All purpose / Bread flour - 1/3 cups
Water - 1 cup
Method : Place the flour & water in a pan. Mix the flour well with water. Turn on the heat (low flame) and keep stirring till the mixture reaches 65C or it starts forming lines. The moisture should not be dried up completely. Keep it aside to cool.
For the Bread
Bread / All Purpose Flour - 2 1/2 - 3 cups
Milk - 1/2 cup
Instant yeast - 2 tsp
Egg - 1
Sugar - 2 tsp
Salt - 1 tsp
Water roux - approx 3 tbsp
Butter (at room temp) - 3 tbsp
White sesame seeds - 1 tsp
1. Warm milk till its very warm (approx 80C). Dissolve the sugar in it. Sprinkle the instant yeast on top of it. Keep it aside for approx 10 min for the yeast to get activated and the mixture to become frothy.
2. In the food processor bowl, measure and add the bread flour and salt. Now add in the frothy yeast mixture (wait till the mixture is really frothy), water roux and egg (keep aside a tbsp for brushing later). Keep kneading at medium speed till everything comes together. Add flour if its too sticky. Keep kneading atleast for 5 minutes.
3. Now add in the softened butter and knead for another 10 min till you get an elastic, soft, non-sticky dough.
4. Dab the dough with some oil and keep it aside for atleast an hour for it to double in size. Make sure you cover it with a damp cloth.
5. Once doubled, punch down the dough to remove the air. Shape it to a loaf and place in the loaf tin. Cover with damp cloth, and keep aside for another half hour for the dough to rise again.
6. Meanwhile pre-heat the oven to 180 deg celsius. Brush the top of the dough with egg (mixed with some water) and sprinkle sesame seeds. Place the loaf tin (with dough in) to the oven and bake for approx 25 min (baking time will depend on your oven type).
7. Once baked, take out the loaf and run a stick of butter over the top of the loaf to give a shiny texture. Keep it covered if not using immediately. Cut the bread with a serrated knife, only once its cooled completely.

"Good fences make good neighbours" – Ai Weiwei takes on New York City
"Good fences make good neighbours." This line has often cropped up in the realm of international politics. It's encouraged countries to maintain their wall and their boundaries. In the current political climate with mass movement occurring between countries, can we still use this line?
The phrase was originally coined by 20th Century American poet Robert Frost. In his poem, "Mending Wall", Frost unpacks human nature's contradiction to make and break boundaries. It explores themes of human fellowship, a concept that is fast being interrogated by the treatment of refugees in First World countries.
Do good fences make good neighbours?
Chinese artist Ai Weiwei has picked up on the irony and has constructed land art around New York City to confront Americans with the same contradiction in fellowship. Weiwei has built 100 different fences around New York which will open officially on October 12, 2017.
This rises against the discourse favoured by Donald Trump, which is one of exclusion and apathy. He turns his back on the thousands of refugees that flock to America in need for aid. Weiwei, who is an activist as well as an artist, protests Trump's belief of shutting people out of the United States. It also plays off Trump's promise of "building a wall" between the United States and Mexico.
Despite the world being more connected than before, with the rise of technology, it has become increasingly harder to traverse between places. Ironically, since the fall of the Berlin Wall, 59 countries have erected walls or boundaries. This increase in Nationalism has coupled with a resistance to allowing migration from countries inflicted by war.
Ai Weiwei's Artist Statement
"The fence has always been a tool in the vocabulary of political landscaping and evokes associations with words like 'border,' 'security,' and 'neighbor,' which are connected to the current global political environment," Ai said in a statement. "But what's important to remember is that while barriers have been used to divide us, as humans we are all the same. Some are more privileged than others, but with that privilege comes a responsibility to do more," – NY Curbed.
The project has been funded by the Public Art Fund to celebrate the organisation's 40th anniversary. The artwork is a reminder for humanity to unite and find the spirit of fellowship to help others. Weiwei has struggled to come to terms with his own migrant status, as he has only been in the city for 10 years. Therefore this topic is close to home.
The fences can be seen in locations such as Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn. May they stand as a reminder to the world of values such as unity, fellowship and openness.

Train tools can assist you get the proper type to your exercise routines however a lot of them are expensive and exhausting to store, often requiring a big part of a room to maintain them in and that inconvenience makes them out of the eye line and infrequently these turn into forgotten about for lengthy periods of time.
The more constant you're together with your ab workouts, the higher your outcomes can be. Some ladies are somewhat intimidated to go into a gymnasium and do their ab exercises there until they really feel like they're in decent shape, so this can be a nice exercise to get you began and on the right path. I am unable to stress enough how essential this space is for girls to maintain in shape with a consistent ab exercise program. Try this one after you have got gained some energy in your ab muscle tissues as a result of it requires core strength.
Mountain climbers are top-of-the-line core workout routines for girls and are an integral part of our 30-day ab problem and might be performed a variety of other ways. So now that you realize this 30 day ab challenge outcomes are coming, and you know the way to do the workouts which might be going to be included in the challenge (don't be concerned, there won't be any surprises), let's talk a little extra about getting you that flat stomach and maybe even some six-pack abs. The sort of coaching includes transitioning from work to relaxation intervals throughout the period of your exercise.

Following our circuit program of the 10 best ab workout routines for girls will enable you to develop a flat tummy and an hourglass figure, however will even help protect you from injuries and forestall the onset of many frequent degenerative situations that affect ladies as they age. If you may get your ab routine in a minimum of thrice a week, you may quickly see outcomes. The precise set of ab workouts might help girls get precisely that- trying attractive and trim and becoming all these garments that make a girl look good.
Sure, this is a 30-day ab challenge, however the reality of the matter is-if you'd like results that you must build as a lot lean muscle as attainable. These embrace the ab workouts with movement (yay for getting two issues achieved at once!), plyometric workout routines that are great for getting your heart charge up and the pounds falling off, as well as your typical cardio workouts corresponding to operating.
For those who've already wished to start out creating an amazing set of abs and searched round for data, chances are you'll be considering that there are very specific ab workouts for girls that enable your body to tone and sculpt your abs.

Ab exercises for seniors should begin out with low intensity workouts and then progress to mild and high depth workout routines depending on their strength and capacity. Swimming is an exercise that targets the complete physique and supplies an amazing exercise especially for the belly muscles. That crunches are a number of the greatest ab workouts for women is a given, but including reverse crunches with leg extensions to that deal raises the difficulty stage a notch and extra.
To be extra particular, it is incorrect to suppose that women cannot do weight training and raise heavy weights. It's also mistaken to assume that girls should keep on with solely cardio workout routines and neglect weights or energy coaching. I believe most women shrink back from doing weight coaching is that they worry they will change into too muscular and look masculine. So the bottom line is that ladies can do the same exercises as men without ending up wanting like body-builders.
In conclusion, girls do not even prefer to be looked at by center aged fat males, they love properly treammed guys, even if the guys are middle aged males, however they really go gaga over toll body builders! Although I'm a person, I are typically more like ladies in multitasking versus specializing in a single space of my physique that I want to build up. I search for effectivity and generality as an alternative of particularity and mult-workout routines.

Karole Nicholson is an active member of the Pastel Society of Cape Cod, the Connecticut Pastel Society, the Providence Art Club and is a juried associate member of the Pastel Society of America.
Her pastels have been shown in international competitions and national/regional shows throughout New England where she has won best of show and first place awards. Capturing the light and seasonal atmosphere are keys to her painting style.
All of her pastel paintings are custom framed original works. She enjoys working in a variety of sizes, from 6" x 6" to 24" x 24" and many sizes in between. She is represented by Next Door Gallery in Mansfield MA and True Grit Gallery in Middleboro, MA.
Artist's Statement
I am an artist because it brings me to a place of discovery, comfort, and expression. The practice of art combines my experiences with my need to connect to nature and to the influences of daily life; the garden flower, a bowl of fruit, a walk in the woods, a day at the beach.
I am drawn to compositions with strong negative and positive space. The relationship between the two is so clear that it invites me in. Although I enjoy experimenting with materials, I also value the reliability of my chosen tools; hard, medium and soft pastels on Wallis or Uart sand paper. Each painting starts with a loose sketch on the toothy sand paper canvas with the goal of conceptualizing the composition. The second step is to create an under painting, using a thin oil wash to lay down the values. Once this is complete, I am ready to select my pastel palette. With over 1200 pastel sticks to choose from, it is a skillful yet playful process. The layering of color creates mood, develops contrast, and defines the focal point of the painting. My excitement builds until the painting asks for a signature.
There is a constant evolution in my work. Since 2016 I have expanded my chosen mediums to include acrylic paints and inks. With practice, I develop insight. My art experiences are directly related to my life experiences. Significant relationships are at the center of my art; the unwavering support of my husband, my family and my friends.
When my grandmother, a life long quilter died in 1981, I felt compelled to carry on the tradition of creating something from nothing, so I created collages, and wall hangings from found objects. In 1990 when my father passed away, I was struck by the realization that he never struggled with defining who he was. He was a woodworking craftsman; that is when I returned to school to pursue a design career that would define my life. The death of my sister, whom I was very close to, has had a profound impacted on my art work. She is very much with me in the studio. She brings energy and clarity to my paintings. I look to my studio time for peace, support, and answers. What I create is not only a reflection of who I am today; it is the sum of many parts that is tethered by the struggle and the joy.

All Dogs Go To Heaven
I know you have heard the saying "All dogs go to Heaven."
They even made a movie by that title some years ago.
Well, today I found out why all dogs go to heaven: see for yourself...

WE ARE LOOKING at how we ended up toward the end of the first century with a strong Jewish-Christian leader deciding that the clearest way to ritualise baptism was in the threefold name ("in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit"). We are exploring the impact of John the Baptist with regard to that hugely significant step.
In yesterday's post, we saw that for Josephus, a Jewish historian of the first century, John was probably perceived to a similar degree of historical importance as Jesus. At the end, of that post, however, we discovered the awkward possibility that John may have been killed as late as 36 AD. I wondered initially if that really clashed with a New Testament position on Jesus and John or even whether it mattered all that much.
Well, I have to admit, it would definitely clash. Whether it matters, is a personal issue we all have to resolve and my method is to find the most likely path while still ensuring the New Testament authors receive the most credibility possible (as difficult as I find that at times with Matthew). So, that's what I propose to do with you right now.
The date limits for Jesus' crucifixion seem fairly firmly set at between 30-33 AD. The New Testament has John's imprisonment and execution before Jesus' crucifixion, but let's just have a quick look to see how that played out (using the MPH - Matthean Posteriority Hypothesis – ordering to which I subscribe, don't worry if you don't know what that means) to be sure:
Mark 6: No direct acknowledgement of John's death from Jesus
The whole event is in a "Markan Sandwich":
- Jesus' disciples go on mission
- Herod Antipas hears about this, but has had (funny tense required) John killed, duration of imprisonment not entirely clear, but might not have exceeded a year, given the event of John's execution being Antipas' birthday "party". John's disciples have buried John.
- Jesus' disciples feed back on mission, and it's time for a break, retreat.
However, John's death is assumed by Mark in 8:28 (Jesus questioned by some to be a resurrection of John the Baptist), and at least imprisoned in 11:30 (John's baptism: was it from heaven…?)
Luke: No direct acknowledgement of John's death from Jesus, but it is assumed.
Luke's relating of the Baptist's story is spread across several chapters.
- Ch. 1: John's birth and naming
- Ch. 3: John's ministry and imprisonment
- Ch. 7: John's messengers sent to Jesus (presumably from his prison cell)
- Ch. 9: Herod has already killed John, and wants to see Jesus. But like in Mark, Jesus simply debriefs his disciples and they try to retreat for a break.
- Chapters 11, 16 and 20 refer to John's work in the past tense.
Matthew: Jesus knew of John's imprisonment and his death
Mat 4:12 "Now when Jesus heard that John had been imprisoned, he went into Galilee."
Mat 14:12 "Then John's disciples came and took the body and buried it and went and told Jesus".
Great! Thank goodness for that, Matthew clears it all up for us then! Josephus must have had a mix up about dating whole battles and stuff.
Only problem for me: I just don't trust Matthew 100%. Remember for me, it's "Love, Hate & Late" with this guy. I don't want to get into it too much here, we'll touch base with him again in our summary. Right now, let's see what John is writing right at the end of the century about John's death…
John: the Baptist slips from view
John (the writer of the fourth gospel)'s treatment of the Baptist is typical of his approach to Jesus as a whole. Jesus is the focus and spotlight. That means that other significant characters, like John the Baptist, don't necessarily need to have their loose ends tied once they have served their primary purpose of promoting Jesus and his message. This is simply because the focal point is locked so resolutely on the "light of the world" who has moved on. With that in mind, look at these verses and how the wording morphs in the space of just a few verses:
John 5:32-33,35
"There is another who testifies about me, and I know the testimony he testifies about me is true. You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth". "He was a lamp that was burning and shining, and you wanted to rejoice greatly for a short time in his light."
And then that's pretty much it. After this chapter, John's name is mentioned just twice more in chapter 10, as ever with primary regard to Jesus.
Strange, huh? Just like that, he's gone, with a slight twist of a sentence.
There are good grounds for assuming that Matthew is writing later than Mark (Hurtado puts Mark around 65 AD), and Luke and Acts. For everyone, both John and Jesus were executed decades before. It is generally acknowledged that of the three synoptic gospels, Matthew displays the greatest amount of theological shaping and reordering of material. He will go to considerable lengths to show Torah fulfilment (like having Jesus sitting on two donkeys, which was Matthew's total misreading of Zechariah 9:9), eschatological fireworks of dozens of resurrections (that everyone else forgot) just after Jesus' death, and a whole host of things.
However, although Matthew plays it loose, we also get to have his version of the baptismal formula, so all is forgiven! But we remember that he is all about making connections happen. He does it thematically, he does it prophetically from the past and into the future, and he sure makes certain that Mark and Luke's efforts to connect and distinguish John and Jesus are as explicit as possible. Of course, Matthew's method, however artificial it may sometimes appear, does not detract from the possibility that John was genuinely and even naturally held by the early emerging Christian communities to be such a great predecessor to Christ, that their deaths would be presumed the same ordering as their overlapping ministries: John first, then Jesus.
Some of those emerging communities may have vacuumed up some of the remaining John-movement communities that continued to function decades after his demise, which, given the consensus that (the great-but-humble) John had vouched for Jesus as the Messiah, could only have fuelled the Jesus movement.
Tough Choices
But let's not run away from the awkward bit. So what are our choices? Firstly, if this really matters to you, then you should really read a specialist on Josephus, there will be plenty of resources there on such a significant historian, and check the difficulty of John's death dating is substantial. If it really does seem quite likely, then I think you are basically left with two options, but conservatives won't like either (obviously).
Firstly, you could simply accept the logical flow I presented above that was integrated by Mark and followed and clarified by Luke then Matthew (and virtually ignored by John). This would mean that in reality, at Jesus' crucifixion, John was either:
1. Still in prison
2. Not yet in prison, ministering.
If pushed, I would prefer 1. That gives Jesus the space to attract the crowds and attention without competing against John. A long prison stay is not something I have heard discussed before, but this might be because neither Josephus nor the gospel writers imply it. Thinking about 2., I just can't see it, although I guess it would have to remain a possibility, given the strong evidence of godly humility at the heart of both movements.
Oh yes, there is a third possibility: simply something else happened that we'll never know!

"Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold" ~ Yeats
I've made a few decisions recently. I am not returning to teaching. I barely made it through the last semester (I always take summers off) and I had to admit to myself I just can't do it any longer. My faculty partner is finishing up some research and wants me to help in ways I am able to do from home, so I agreed. The research is not affiliated with the university so I can still turn in my resignation. My few consulting jobs are enough for now and maintaining contact with my colleague is just perfect.
Thinking about my grown children and the idealistic views I had when they were all small. I envisioned this perfect little family who would always be close and we would be strong and have an unbreakable bond. Wow, was I naive. I tend to "blame" myself for everything that hasn't worked out in that perfect little scenario I created - I blame it on my illness. That's all I know; perhaps things would be the same had I remained healthy, nobody will ever know. Truth is, we aren't as close as I'd hoped. My husband and I are closer - that's a blessing. But the kids, they have grown apart from one another and from us, in varying degrees - of course. Examining my illness, once again I had an unrealistic view of how my family would behave; they would all surround me with love and affection, become closer as a family unit and give me an abundance of support. Duh, Sue.
First, it's normal for kids to grow up and move on. That's their
"job" in life as young adults (I DO have a Master's degree, which included alot of psychology and I should know this....Erikson, Piaget, Maslow, etc) but it's difficult to apply to those you love. I have four kids. They don't all get along wonderfully. They love each other, but at times do not like each other very much. They probably would not be friends if they weren't family. I get that. I've got one child who has done the things in my "perfect" vision as far as my illness goes, but the rest - not so much. And it's not their fault; they each have their way of dealing with how it affects them and their own pain surrounding it. One is taking a self-destructive path; one has turned feelings for me into anger; and one is still figuring things out. I love the phrase "It is what it is" and that certainly applies. I have to let it go. Release. Be thankful for the good times and appreciate the gems of a day, a week a month - I can't overlook that. And I gotta take care of me, be tender with myself and my spirituality and be filled with gratitude for my wonderful, loving spouse.

Yes I know, the Pioneer DDJ-T1 and the DDJ-S1 are coming out soon (In fact some stores are already stocking up the DDJ-T1!) and you are all confused whether to go with the S4 or the Pioneer controllers
Yes - I am one of those ones who were considering the Pioneer controllers, having owned many Pioneer products and were impressed by their quality (we are talking bout CDJs here, for mixers Rane is the way to go!) but at the same time I love Native Instruments products, so I couldnt make up my mind whether I should sell my S4 and get the Pioneer or just stay with the S4!! Ahh.. the Choices!!
Click HERE to see my past mini-review of the Traktor Kontrol S4
Remember : The S4 Gives free Traktor Pro 2 update (later when its out) while the DDJ-T1 comes with what essentially is a 4-deck version of Traktor Duo 1, and to update to the new Traktor 2 in April we will have to pay something like USD $149 on top~
And according to many forum posts, a lot of people are having the same dilemma deciding between the Traktor Kontrol S4 VS the Pioneer DDJ-T1...
Let me confuse you even more! These are some pretty cool videos of scratching on the S4 - awesome stuff considering the size of the jogwheels!
If you think the Kontrol S4 is big, wait till you see the next video which shows the units side-by-side for comparison... Dang the DDJ-T1 is huge!!! Seeing the S4 next to the DDJ-T1 makes the S4 look sooo tiny!
Technically due to the larger jogwheels on the DDJ-T1 the scratch performances should be on par with the old CDJ-400 (which were awesome by the way - i owned one before) but before someone does a scratch video on the DDJ-T1 we'll never know yet!

Any member of a household that carries high balances of debt can understand the strain that debt can place on consumers. Cincinnati area residents should probably not be too surprised that large debt loads can place a strain on members of our Armed Forces. Officials at the Pentagon say that financial troubles are the leading source of anxiety among American troops. The officials say that anxiety over debt can top the anxieties that service members experience--and in some cases, creating more anxiety than war itself, according to Reuters.
News over the skyrocketing cost of an education is plentiful in today's world. Many consumer groups have voiced concerns over the burgeoning student debt load that Americans are taking on. The military is now also chiming in to raise its concerns over student loan debt.
Generally, student loans are rarely dischargeable in a bankruptcy proceeding. From time to time, a former student who owes the specialized form of debt may be able to meet the difficult standard recognized in bankruptcy proceedings to gain discharge of student debt, but the standard is generally a difficult burden to meet.
For our active service members, special protections are in place to protect our warriors from abusive debt collectors. But military officials say that our troops are not even immune from overzealous practices of bill collectors. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says that financial trouble is the number one difficulty in receiving security clearance for our troops.
The wife of the CIA director is a top official with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. She says that many service members were improperly foreclosed upon during their military service. Holly Petraeus says that "I think the problem may be greater with student loans than it was with mortgages," according to Reuters. She says that many more troops enter the military with outstanding student loans than those who have a mortgage.

text: Couple of weeks ago we visited Vapriikki museum to see The Terracotta Warriors and Horses. It was awe-inspiring to see how much work have they done in China back in the days to get these done. Actually, there was not that many warriors in the museum, but it was enough to get an idea of the army. The details of the statues are crazy. There was a guided tour while we were there, so that's how we got some facts and trivia of the army. Too bad the tempo of the guide was too slow to my pals, so we decided to go trough the show by ourselves. It was good enough in that way, too. I even bought a little statue of my own from the museum shop. Made in China - of course.

Carna Biosciences, a leading provider of drug discovery supporting products and services, has signed a worldwide licensing agreement with Janssen Biotech, Inc. (Janssen), one of the Janssen Pharmaceutical companies of Johnson & Johnson, to further develop and commercialize compounds from one of Carna Bioscience's small molecule protein kinase inhibitor programmes.
Under the terms of the agreement, facilitated by Johnson & Johnson Innovation, California and Asia Pacific, Carna Biosciences will receive an initial upfront payment and is eligible to receive additional milestone payments upon achievement of certain developmental, regulatory, and commercial milestones. Carna Biosciences will also be eligible to receive tiered royalties on the net sales of commercialized licensed products.
"We are pleased to collaborate with Janssen to further develop one of our kinase inhibitor programmes. Our hope is that our discovery efforts will someday make a meaningful difference in the lives of people living with immunologic disease," said Kohichiro Yoshino, PhD, founder, president and chief executive officer of Carna Biosciences.
"This agreement with Janssen is an important first step towards the goal of discovering and developing significant therapeutic solutions for improving human health. Carna Biosciences will continue to identify and develop innovative compounds with strong potential as therapeutic kinase inhibitors."
Since its founding in 2003, Carna has built a powerful kinase drug discovery engine that has led to its current, rich pipeline of drug candidates in the preclinical stage. Carna has also established a vast collection of compound libraries consisting of kinase-focused and diverse molecules to maximize the success rate of screening. Carna's drug discovery efforts are supported by Carna's internally developed, proprietary profiling and screening technology, QuickScout, and by several other in-house drug discovery tools. QuickScout is one of the world's largest biochemical kinase assay panels and enables the efficient development of small molecule inhibitors with potentially superior safety and efficacy profiles by providing valuable and comprehensive selectivity information.
"This agreement is a very important milestone for Carna's Drug Discovery team. The opportunity to exclusively license the programme to Janssen means a great deal to all at Carna," said Dr. Masaaki Sawa, chief scientific officer of Carna Biosciences.
"This agreement further empowers our team to passionately work towards developing and delivering superior drug discovery tools and therapeutic medicines for years to come," added Akiko Futamura, PhD, president and chief executive officer of CarnaBio USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Carna Biosciences.

Well, our expedition is formally over. I have just arrived at the Hyatt in Kathmandu by chopper from Base Camp. I can tell you it sure beats walking down. All of our team was able to hitch a ride so are now in the process of trying to feel a little human again (hot showers, shaves, running water – oh, and beer!) but the 5000m+ drop in altitude certainly helps. Thank you all for your well wishes and support. They were truly helpful and motivational. It has been suggested that I should provide a few more details of our experiences over the last few days. I think some of the words that I stuttered over the sat phone to Nicky were completely unintelligible although I think she managed to deliver the main message well – I summitted and returned and it was hard. When thinking about providing more details it has been difficult to strike the right balance between the short, snappy summary update that my friends have the attention span to read and the more detailed emotive view of the world that Nicky and some of her friends would prefer! So, I am going to try and do both (that is if my attention span allows me to do the later). This entry will try to summarise, as the title suggests, the best and worst bits of the last few days. I will, energy permitting, then try to provide a more detailed version of events for those that are remotely interested. I also have a few partially finished entries that attempt to answer some of the many questions that I have received so will try to complete and post these as well.
The Good
– I summited (at 12pm), and returned, safely (at 6pm), despite this being quoted as the worst year ever to be on and try to summit Everest (causing teams led by well known names like Russell Brice to leave the mountain early).
– I didn't find the climbing quite as technical as I expected and managed to cover the terrain relatively easily.
– Overall, my fitness (and reserves that I didn't know I had) would hold out pretty well.
– Our expedition leader planned our preparation well and called the weather window perfectly.
– Our Sherpas were excellent
– Just above "the balcony" I turned around and unexpectedly caught the sun just starting to emerge from the lower clouds. It felt like being on the moon and was a truly exceptional experiance.
– The weather remained as predicted – starting off ideal but slowly deteriorating later in the day.
– Once we had reached the top we more or less had the summit to ourselves for 30 mins. Something that on our particular summit day was pretty rare and special.
– The decisions made by some of our team.
– I survived with my fingers and toes intact (though I did have to work diligently on this).
The Bad
– The round trip from the South Col took more than 20 hours (substantially more than our expedition leader's normal cut off time of 15 hours). This delay, as partially expected, was caused by the large number of people (around 160) trying to summit on the same day as our team (given all of the previous issues on the mountain). In total we were on the go for more than 36 hours including the journey from camp 3.
– I've never been as dehydrated or "empty" food wise. I could barely swallow my throat was so dry.
– I climbed without O's on 3 occasions for a total of around 2 hours, including 45 mins to the summit. It is amazing what a difference oxygen makes. Without it, it is like someone has switched the light/engine off and it is scary to realise what happens without this temporary artificial support!
– I had to dig extremely deep to find the energy reserves to get up and down. There is little doubt I, like many people, were at (or in some cases beyond) their physical limit.
– Unfortunately, one of our team did not make the summit but their decision to turn around, while extremely difficult I'm sure, shows extreme sense and is one that I'm very proud of. As reported by a number of guides, many people were slightly possessed, operating beyond their limits/capabilities, and only survived due to good fortune. There was absolutely no margin for error, something which sadly comes all too frequently with the territory on Everest.
The Ugly
– Several people (some of whom I had spoken to) died our summit day. As far as I know, none of the deaths were related to conditions on the mountain but rather people succumbing to fatigue or high altitude-related illnesses. While the absolute number deaths seems high, and no deaths are good news, I would not be surprised that as a percentage of the large number of people attempting to summit it was proportional to, if not better than, previous years. I'm sure the people with the statistics will have the answer in due course.
– In retrospect (and probably on an ex ante basis as well) I think the objective danger was too high on our summit day. Many, many things can and do go wrong and I believe that many people are lucky that an alternative history did not prevail on the day as they would not have had the ability to adapt and survive . In the end, I think we were generally saved by the relatively good and stable weather.
– A combination of no O's and very high winds on the summit meant the Haka had to be sacrificed. I'm not sure I will be back to cement the world's highest Haka record!
So there it is – a brief account of our summit day. Given the combination of factors we experienced, climbing Everest is definitely the hardest challenge I have undertaken to date. Something which, despite my scepticism, the 15kg that I lost can probably attest to!
