Journey along with me as I travel the road of my life. It may not be always an exciting journey, but it is mine and I will live it to the fullest.
Thursday, May 9, 2013
So, here's a cute card that I made for a couple of challenges.
When I saw this sentiment from Create with TLC, I knew I had to use it on a card. I love it! The little girl is from The Digi Garden. I used my Chromatix to color her in and the Fiskars Shape Maker to cut it out. I inked the edges of the image and sentiment with DI Vintage Photo. I followed a sketch from Feeling Sketchy to make this card. The card base is Old Olive from SU. The DP background is American Crafts and the DP pieces are DCWV. I added some gems from Queen and Co and the flower is one that I dyed using the homemade alcohol inks.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I truly appreciate it. God bless y'all and have a great day!

Hi, Emily! Love your darling card and the vibrant colors. I am sorry to hear about your Fibro diagnosis and the PTSD. I have had FMS since I was a little girl, and it is difficult to manage at times, but I feel fortunate to be able to enjoy life as best as I can.

Blacks, Latinos in L.A. more conservative than whites, Times poll finds
June 24, 2009 | 7:47 am
In national politics, black and Latino voters are, on average, more liberal than white voters.
But in Los Angeles, not so. The Los Angeles Times poll of 1,500 registered voters in the city, released this week, shows 40% of white voters describing themselves as liberal, 36% moderate and only 22% conservative.
White voters in L.A. are about twice as likely to call themselves liberal as white voters nationwide, based on polling done nationally by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research, which also conducted the Times Poll. And note that because this is a poll of voters in the city of Los Angeles, it doesn't include such heavily liberal, largely white areas as Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and West Hollywood.
White L.A. voters are also more likely to call themselves liberal than are either black or Latino voters. In the Times poll, 27% of black voters and 29% of Latino voters identified themselves as liberal, while 28% of black voters and a third of Latinos described themselves as conservative.
And what part of the city has the most voters who identify themselves as conservative? Not the San Fernando Valley, which once had the reputation as L.A.'s conservative bastion, but heavily black and Latino South L.A., where 35% of voters identified themselves as conservative.

I don't like when my heart hurts on a ride
For along time, there were some things that I couldn't enjoy growing up, because my heart would hurt very much. I can't go on roller coasters that have a big steep downfall, or some spinny rides either, even if there is no steep. But if I do go on a roller coaster, I feel a tightening in my chest near my heart, it pumps harder and faster, my body will shake if the steep is really big.
I've tried to explain this feeling to a lot of ppl, and the only thing that I can say, is if you know what it feels like to fall, you feel something in your chest, or your belly, or both. That's what I feel, but it's really painful for me.
I went to Great Adventure this past Wednesday, and we went on a boat ride. It's the really big boat that swings back and forth. We sat in the middle because my bf knows of the pain that I feel. I didn't want to go on, I knew that my heart was going to hurt cause I went on a ride like that before and it was awful. So anyway, as the boat goes up higher and comes down, I started shaking a lot, and it felt like my heart just wanted to stop.
When I see roller coasters that I want to go on, I fear that maybe my heart will stop and I'll die. Although I must say, I am not afraid of roller coasters or anything with a big steep, I actually want to go on them, but because of the pain that I get, I can't, and it sucks.
After I got off the boat ride, I wanted to cry because that's much I hurt, it felt like a panic attack was coming on in the midst of the pain that I feel. But when I have a panic attack, of course my heart doesn't hurt at all.
I know I need to see a Dr. but i don't want to find out that I may have a bad heart, but if it's normal, and everyone feels that way, I can't imagine what fun it is to get on a ride, and always have that pain, I can't enjoy a ride like that at all. Maybe subconsciously I am afraid of those kind of rides, but I think as though I'm not, maybe I need to keep going on those rides to get used to it or something, idk. it would be nice if there was a medication that prevented my heart/chest from hurting when I go on those rides.
But until then, I just avoid them and watch other ppl enjoy them -_-
3 replies
You're the first person I've come across who has the same issue as me. Whenever I tell people about it they say I'm just scared of the ride but I don't have a fear with rides at all, so I get what you mean. I haven't had my heart checked out before so I'm not sure but it might be a heart problem of some sort that you should probably get checked out.
It could just be a fear,fear can activate pain because it makes u scared and u use energy when ur scared I think and energy comes from blood so ur heart muscle rushes or goes faster to pump more blood giving more energy to ur body
We need to get the source of that chest pain figured out. It could be heart related but it could also be anxiety related. My advice is to get to your doc and find out which it is. Regardless of which it is get a solid and specific diagnosis then start a discussion. The first discussion would simply be to tell us what the docs found and ask if anyone else has a similar diagnosis. Lot's of people here want to help but we first need to know what we are dealing with!

Airborne Turbines Fly High In Search Of Wind Energy
While wind farms here on the surface are a great, green way of generating power, there's a much more abundant space just a little bit higher. A new concept of a flying wind turbine hopes to be able to tap into the 870 terawatts of wind power that's estimated to be available in the Earth's upper atmosphere.
Though still in early development, the idea is set to be a subject of discussion at a conference at Stanford University. Two of the early design concepts come from Joby Energy and Makani Power. Joby's design feature an array of turbines powered by a motor that allows it to take off. It's able to keep from flying away thanks to a reinforced composite tether. The Makani, meanwhile, actually resembles a small plane with a series of propellers.
The main problem though, is ensuring that the turbines don't fly away and simply add to the growing amount of junk floating around in space. Whether or not a giant, reinforced tether is enough to prevent this remains to be seen.

The call came at 3 am. A neighbor thought we might want to know. The house directly above us was on fire. We stumbled out the back to witness a roaring blaze 30' up the hill. My mind froze. What to rescue…photos, laptop, grandma's quilt? Embers rained down. My attempt to wet our roof with a garden hose felt pathetic.
But our Forestville Firemen were on the scene. I could hear their shouts above the crackle of the fire as they battled that blaze. It seemed a miracle they kept it from spreading. Through the smoke it became clear what a treasure our local firemen are. And as such, they not only deserve our respect, but they actually deserve our cooperation too.
Like hello! Look around. What kind of defensible space do you have if you woke up to a phone call like that? Not sure? Fire Safe Sonoma has a great guideline called Creating Fire Safe Neighborhoods – A Team Effort! In fact, I'm taking one to guess who? The neighbor just above me who purchased the burned out lot, re-built and now has a huge pile of dead tree limbs just off his back deck.
The good news for him, and perhaps for you or someone you know, is that Fire Safe will bring a chipper to your home and make mulch for you. And who doesn't love mulch?
August's Meeting on Crime Prevention & Security Awareness
Speaking of safety, we learned a lot from Sheriff' Deputies Charity Koch and Ruben Martinez last month (at the meeting on Crime Prevention & Security Awareness). Their message to you? Call them! 707-565-2121.
With such a large territory to cover, they rely on you to communicate with them when you see something wrong or out of place. They genuinely appreciate your calls. Our rural and semi-rural setting suits us well, but it's good to know neighbors are willing to look out for one another.
You can even report my pet peeve, illegal dumping, by calling 211. Thank you very much, but my whole neighborhood doesn't deserve to have our property values plummet because you are either too lazy, cheap or misguided to take your old (usually) furniture to the dump! Call 211.
Recycling Center Across from Speer's
Speaking of trash, you've probably noticed the Recycling Center that's now up across from Speers. It's State of California Certified, open 10AM-5PM most days, 10AM-6PM on Thursdays and closed Sunday and Monday. It's called Wrenco Recycle. Prices looked good.
New School Year, New Faces, New Middle School
Yippee, the kids are back in school. There's something exciting about a new school year. So much unknown with new faces, new expectations, new clothes maybe even? West County Middle School is new. Sure it's in a familiar location, yet it's a new Charter under the High School District accepting students from all over. Principal Kirsten Sanft is delighted to welcome all this newness with a bright smile. She will no doubt create a wonderful environment for our kids. Let's face it, they are the future and may end up taking care of us! Let's give them the hope they deserve, and tools to succeed.

By the way, Back to School Night is September 7, at 6PM. The whole family is welcome.

Each month they mix up the menu, keeping us guessing what's next for those creative chefs.
Plan to stay after for the Table Tennis 1-4PM. In fact, the Clubhouse is open every 1st and 3rd Thursday evenings from 7-10PM for Table Tennis. I expect to see some champions coming out of that club one of these days.

my first magazine contributor write-up!
This is from the April 2010 issue of UCLA Magazine. In case you can't read it, it says:
"MASHANDA SCOTT's deceptively simple description of her work - "I currently draw and build things in Los Angeles" - belies a rare ability to see out of the ordinary. The young LA artist used that vision to good effect in her plush sculpture of Royce Hall on our cover, a unique sculpting vision that has also resulted in, among other things, a plush bicycle and public telephone. The Seattle native graduated from the esteemed Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and her work has been exhibited at L.A.'s Black Maria Gallery and Flock Shop. She also stays busy self-publishing 'zines."
and NO I didn't write it! I'm blushing, I swear.

UFC 76 Tomorrow Night
I have to say I'm excited for tomorrow night's fights. I think the top three billed dust-ups should be good for some punching, kicking, and technical grappling. Here's my picks for the three headliner bouts:
Diego Sanchez vs. Jon Fitch: Diego is a strong kid, no doubt. He's a weirdo and I'm not particularly fond of him, but I'll never say the boy can't scrap. He's coming off his first octagon loss (to the just-beat-by-GSP Josh Koscheck), first lackluster performance (due to the now-known staph infection), and he should be fueled to kick some ass.
Here's the problem - Fitch is a goddamn stud. The guy has a badass record. He's 6-0 in the UFC and 19-2-1 overall. If anyone has the mad skillz (if I may) to take Sanchez out, it's this guy. Dana White said that this has the potential to be the fight of the year, but I think someone's going to end it, and that person is likely going to be Jon Fitch, probably by submission in the second or third round.
Mauricio "Shogun" Rua vs. Forrest Griffin: Forrest seems like a decent enough guy. The interviews he gives are funny, although sometimes forcedly so, and he sounds like a dude with whom you could have a beer and a laugh.
The thing is that he's just not a technical fighter. He's a brawler and that's been shown in fight after fight, to the point where he got knocked the hell out by Keith Jardine. Rua is a very dangerous fighter either standing or grappling and that's Forrest's undoing - Rua will likely stop Forrest in the second round.
Chuck Liddell vs. Keith Jardine: This has the markings of a great stand-up fight. In a perfect world, I'd like to see Chuck come out, take Jardine to the mat and ground-n-pound him out - but that's not Iceman's game. He has always said that there's no secrets with him, you know his gameplan from the get-go and that's not likely going to change with this fight.
These two will stand in front of each other and swing for the fences, but Chuck's bat is bigger (forgive the phallic undertones there). Jardine has not faced anyone of Liddell's calibre and as such, he'll more than likely suffer his second consecutive first round KO.

LotVantage has announced two new additions to the company, Branden Elwell and Patrick Pearson. Elwell and Pearson will be charged with growing LotVantage's OEM Brand Manager utilization, targeted at Original Equipment Manufacturers. LotVantage's Brand Manager is a robust and unique tool that helps OEMs market their promotions and advertisements to consumers, through their dealers' social media channels.
"LotVantage is experiencing exciting growth with our OEM Brand Manager," President and CEO Matthew Brown says. "Now that we have brought in Elwell and Pearson, we'll be able to exponentially grow that side of our business."
Elwell is a dynamic, high-performing sales and business development executive with a proven ability to build and lead top-tier sales organizations, according to a press release. His diverse background, in the private and public sector, spans more than 25 years and multiple industries to include: retail, healthcare, staffing and SaaS software. The majority of his business career has been focused on building software companies. Prior to LotVantage, Elwell was the senior vice president of sales at VisualCue.
Pearson has spent the majority of his 30-year career working in business development for advertising and public relations agencies. He started his career with Burson-Marsteller, the world's largest public relations firm and served as director of marketing at Hersheypark, a world-class theme park in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Most recently, Pearson was a client of LotVantage, utilizing its' software while leading the marketing department of Chrome Capital, a motorcycle leasing company.
"Both Elwell and Pearson bring many years of experience to LotVantage and they have already hit the ground running," Vice President Jim Jabaay says. "Our OEM Brand Manager has the potential, to not only help LotVantage grow as a company, but it is disrupting how OEMs think about their marketing strategy. Brand Manager makes it easy for OEMs to disseminate brand messaging at the dealer level, which can be a challenge to get dealer participation with a tool like ours."

I've been delaying this post out of laziness but here we go, we are back with the second Pantone's color of the year moodboard, featuring a refreshing shade called "Greenery" which reminds me of matcha powder and lime due to its yellowish-green hue. With Pantone describing Greenery as a fresh and zesty, this is the color of new beginnings, revival and renewal in spring which is perfect for people who want to be reminded by mother nature's neutral in their life.
Introducing Greenery
A basic yet rejuvenating shade that all of us will instantly associate with plants (especially since the name itself is sort of a pun to both the color and plants), Greenery is introduced by Pantone Color Institute Executive Director Lieatrice Eiseman as this year's color that will "provide us with the reassurance we yearn for amid a tumultuous social and political environment" in hope that it will take us back to reconnecting with mother nature. It is a hue that we always unconsciously return to when it comes to adding some flavors into our urban lifestyle, the most common example is the addition of plants to add some flare into our comfort zone. Pantone believes that the more modern our life gets, the bigger the urge to immerse ourselves in appreciating the beauty of what is and feels natural. I personally agree with what they have to say for picking Greenery this year especially after seeing how a lot of people are starting to add succulents and other indoor plants into their life lately.
Visit the Pantone Greenery page for more details and color pairings.
Do I love it?
Yes I do. I've been liking green lately especially when combined with other earth-toned colors such as khaki, brown and/or vibrant orange. I also love pairing it with pastel, dusty dirty rosy pink in order to form a muted spring-ish color scheme. As much as I love last year's Pantone's pick, I have to say that I love Greenery more for its energy boosting atmosphere.
Some color pairings inspiration...
Overall, like I've mentioned above, I agree on this year's color pick. I love how it reminds me of matcha, spring and green forest. This shade is seriously making me want to have succulent plants on my desk space and hopefully, my own space too. I can understand why some people are into plants even though I personally have no idea how to take care of one.
Now that I think about it, it's really funny because even before Pantone announced their 2017 color of the year, I found myself drawn into more green colored items. I still love blue because I grew up loving blue but green is such a refreshing color that makes me feel...oxygenated, if that even makes sense. For some reason, I also feel like Greenery represents the idea of minimalism very well and we all know how minimalism is starting to be more popular lately.
What's your verdict?
- What's your opinion on this year's color?
- Are you a fan of green? If yes, is this the kind of green that you like?
- What does Greenery reminds you of? (if you say matcha, I will love you forever! Haha)
- Do you see yourself adding Greenery into your space?

Anti Atlas #6 / 2013 / 1080p video file /
9'34" looped (excerpt)
This animation is produced from photographic information captured in the Anti Atlas plain in Morocco. Using a form of spherical photography which is common to special effects practice I have 're-filmed' the environment inside the computer. The camera performs a full 360o rotation whilst tilting from side to side; up and down. A piece of glass placed in front of the camera goes through a similar set of movements which are at odds with the frame of the camera. This causes a flattening of the space into a constantly shifting composition. All key-frames come full circle making the loop temporally and spatially seamless.

Hi Ramlah ,
Did you get the solution ?
Hey so in here, there's really two cases:
We see that a depends on b.
So if b>0, then obviously a > b.
If b<0, we see that the quadratic term 5b^2 is always positive and grows way quicker than the linear term 10b, and the final sum is helped by +7. You can test this out with the largest possible value for b, b=-1 assuming and b are integers. So a >0 and thus a>b here too.
So in the final answer, we see that a > b for both situations. So choice that says a>b is correct

New Preston man arrested after police pursuit
While traveling on Federal Road about 3:30 a.m., an officer saw Franco Pesantes, of New Preston Road, crossing the center double yellow lines several times, crossing the fog lines, and nearly colliding with a Jersey barrier, according to police.
The officer attempted to get Pesantes to pull off the road by using his lights and sirens, but Pesantes did not do so.
With the help of another Brookfield officer and a New Milford officer, Pesantes was stopped near 204 Danbury Road, New Milford.
He was charged with operating under the influence, operating a motor vehicle without a license, first-degree disobeying the signal of an officer/engaging pursuit, and failure to drive in the proper lane, police said.
Pesantes posted $500 bond and was released. He is due in Danbury Superior Court on March 20 at 10 a.m.

Jordyn's weekly e-mail
February 18, 2014
Serving in Federal Way, Washington
Korean Branch
Companion: Sister Choi
This will probably come as a surprise to no one, but just to clear the elephant in the room, I'm staying in Mt. Rainier! Woo! So Sister Choi's gonna finish her mission in just six short weeks, and then I'll be off to new adventures (or back in ridgecrest).
Wednesday we went down to Puyallup and said bye to Jun. He left back to Korea on Friday, which we were super bummed out about. Even though I didn't know him for a long time, that little 11 year-old sure cracked me up when we saw him. He also loved to shoot me with a lego things during dinners, so it'll be interesting when we go back to the Cho's and I'm not being shot at.
|Jun's Baptism January 2014
I got fed the nastiest thing this week! It looked like chocolate cake at first, but found out that it wasn't quite chocolate cake. It was Sundae (soon-day). aka blood sausage. also aka, the nastiest thing i've ever eaten in my life. So that inspired me to make a list of all the weird foods I've gotten in the Korean branch this transfer. In no particular order, I give you,
-Sundae (blood sausage)
-Neng myun: a cold noodle soup with gray water and hard boiled eggs in it
-kim chi
-korean sushi
-curry (not korean, but it was still nasty)
-collard greens on an english muffin (again, not korean but still nasty)
-kim chi soup
-seaweed crackers
-rice cake
-rice cake soup
-kim chi rice and seaweed
Everyone pray that I'm only here for one more transfer. I don't know if my taste buds can handle any more kim chi and seaweed. I also get fed lots of spaghetti too though, some members have a little bit of pity for the poor American in the branch :)
Saturday we drove down to Bonney Lake for a baptism. His name is Chris and Sister Choi taught him for a while. After the baptism we drove up to see someone in Seattle and got stuck in Seattle traffic for like an hour. So I had a nice little view of the Space Needle :) our ward had a party on Mercer Island after that and the Seattle mission president, President Choi came! It was crazy to meet another mission president, but he and his wife are super sweet.
|Rainy day to see the Space Needle
Let's see, what else. It rained a lot this week . . . ha ha, that's probably a shock to no one. I like it though, I've become a pretty good puddle dodger in my time out here.
|Sister VerHoef got a Smoothie & a Box of Chocolate's
|Sister Choi & Sister VerHoef with their box of Chocolate's
To finish off, and in honor of Valentine's day, I saw a quote on some Methodist church that we drove by in Federal Way somewhere. "The first duty of love is to listen." Isn't that great? Hope you all have an awesome week!
Sister VerHoef
The following pictures are with Sister VerHoef's district.
|There is a story behind this, but it won't be funny over email.
so I will be sure to tell it when I get home.

Manchester City signs second FIFA pro as 'dedicated PS4 player'
Sports teams the world over are adding gamers to their rosters, but it's particularly common in football. Manchester City FC signed its first eSports pro, Kieran "Kez" Brown, last summer, and today the club's announced Marcus "ExpectSporting" Jorgensen (aka Marcuzo) has become the second pad warrior to join the squad. Jorgensen previously competed for Danish football club Brøndby IF, with his biggest win to date being the FIFA Interactive Club World Cup held this past August.
Major League Soccer gets its first eSports player
New York City FC now has a representative for virtual tournaments.
A number of European soccer teams have their own eSports players, but what about American clubs? Don't worry, they're catching up. New York City FC has signed Major League Sports' first eSports player, Christopher Holly, to represent the outfit in FIFA tournaments. He's definitely not a newcomer to the game -- Holly has been playing some form of FIFA on PlayStation systems for the past 12 years, and plays well enough that he was the top-rated FIFA Ultimate Team player on the planet in December.
The NBAs big eSports push begins in May 2018
NBA 2K League Managing Director Brendan Donohue shares details about how the first season is taking shape.
The line between eSports and traditional sports is blurring, and organizations like the National Basketball Association are looking to stay ahead of the curve. Seventeen teams from the NBA will be part of the upcoming 2K League, a competition it created in partnership with Take-Two Interactive, the developer of the popular NBA 2K series. And that league is going to have its first season next May, NBA 2K League Managing Director Brendan Donohue revealed to Engadget in a recent interview.
He also said that participating NBA teams will begin drafting their eSports players in mid-March 2018, with tryouts taking place a month before that.

Music streaming is big business
What's going on in the online music streaming services? :
has published a new report on the global online music streaming market. The in-depth industry report identifies Apple, Deezer, Spotify, Google, iHeartMedia and Pandora Media, and as the key vendors in the worldwide music streaming market. The research report also presents a competitive analysis of the market by streaming type (paid music streaming and free music streaming), by user (commercial / individual users), and by geography location. According to their report, Technavio analysts forecast the global music streaming market to grow at a CAGR of over 14% during 2017-2021. The increased penetration of
smart devices
such as
mobile phones
is one of the major driving forces for the growth in the music streaming business.
Music streaming business
The newly released research study covers the present scenario and growth prospects of the global music streaming market for 2017-2021. The music streaming business is likely to experience high growth during the forecast period.
This growth may also be attributed to the new innovative features offered by music streaming service providers, which allow consumers uninterrupted access to
music collections
without the need for downloading the soundtrack. Consumers around the world can legally access high-quality music songs for free for a pre-defined period or by paying a nominal subscription fee.
Analysts and experts at Technavio highlight three factors that are contributing to the growth of the music streaming business: High growth in mobile advertising spending market, increased use of smartphone applications and increasing number of subscription services.
Penetration of smartphones and tablets
Mobile advertising is currently one of the most popular methods of advertising. The increased market penetration of mobile phones and tablets worldwide is one of the major driving forces for the growth of digital music business.
Vendors of online streaming platforms also offer free downloading and streaming services for mobile devices. Spending more money on mobile advertising is one of the major sources of revenue for digital music service providers, which in turn supports the growth of the music streaming market.
Mobile devices are now being equipped with more personalized services, such as location-based technology, which can help in segmenting potential customers for marketing purposes. This will help vendors to target their audiences with customized music playlists.
Music streaming subscription services
The subscription services for digital music and streaming are becoming increasingly popular among users. Many music streaming apps have started to provide social media integration services allowing them to personalize music preferences and content.
Online music streaming providers such as Spotify, SoundCloud, and Wynk are also linked to social media platforms such as Facebook, and users can share music and playlists with others music lovers.
Online music streaming applications and services are also adopting the freemium business model that aims at converting free users to premium services while ensuring sustainability. Free users usually migrate to access unlimited and uninterrupted content, which leads to an increase in subscription services and results in the growth of the music streaming market on the whole.
Mobile streaming apps
The global market for
mobile apps
is growing rapidly. Most of the service providers are developing their mobile app to provide ease of access and usage to customers. Music streaming service providers initially offered music services through their websites only.
With the growing adoption of smartphones and the consequent increase in mobile app downloads, most of the songs and music albums are now available in-app for streaming and downloading. This provides easy payment options for subscriptions to digital content, which attracts and retains many customers.

Cayenne – As Dietary Supplement
Cayenne or Capsicum is a very spicy (hot) red pepper prepared from different tropical chili peppers that are bright red in color, 2-5 centimeters long and 1 inches wide in diameter.
It is believed that the name of this pepper is derived from the Greek word kian, which is the name for the paprika used among the Tupi Indians in the area of today's French Gajane, which is named after the Cayenne River or the Cayenne Capital city.
On the other hand, it is considered that the name Capsicum comes from an old Greek word that meant 'bruises', and because of its effect when eating dishes with this very spicy pepper.
Today Cayenne peppers can be grown anywhere, provided they grow in a warm and humid place. The paprika needs about three months to mature. The pungent taste of Cayenne pepper comes from the pepper ingredient called capsaicin, which is found in all types of paprika, which determines the level of spiciness of each type of paprika.
Although Cayenne pepper is mostly used in culinary use, its use is increasingly widespread for medical purposes, either as an ingredient, in the pure form of powder or in capsules.
Any hot chili paprika, including Cayenne pepper, results in increased body temperature, which causes the body to cool down, stimulating our metabolism and requiring the greater activity of our body. Because of this, this pepper is often referred to as dietary supplements and detoxification of the body as it helps to burn fat. In addition, it is considered to be beneficial for digestive disorders, elevated temperatures and colds, nausea, headache, allergies, inflammatory processes, toothache, and many other illnesses and symptoms.
Cayenne causes eye irritation, and because of that is also a common component of personal protection sprays.
Cayenne pepper as a spice is mostly used in Asia, South America, and the Middle East, although its use is nowadays worldwide. Cayenne peppers can be used, dried and ground into powder or dried in flakes. Add it to various vegetables and stewed dishes, soups for extra spiciness, sauces, some drinks, etc.

Terry Charlton, S.J., is a Jesuit priest who has lived and worked in Kenya for many years. He is the founder of St. Aloysius Gonzaga Secondary School in Nairobi, a Christian Life Communities (CLC) sponsored institution for orphans of the AIDS epidemic. An alumnus of Brebeuf Jesuit College Preparatory in Indianapolis, Ind., Father Charlton has a long history in Jesuit secondary education and is currently on a year-long sabbatical in Chicago.
On Dec. 26, I interviewed Father Charlton by email about his work.
How did you end up in Africa and how long have you been there now?
I had never given a thought to working outside the United States. Being a missionary was, in my thinking, for the pious and the crazy. When I was in doctoral studies in the mid-80s, there was a gathering of young Jesuits from the Chicago Province. The provincial had a question-and-answer session. One participant asked him if we were thinking of starting something in Africa. He replied, "No," but continued that there is a sense that this is such a kairos time for Africa with the many relatively newly independent nations and the tremendous growth in the church there, so perhaps some Jesuits from our province should go there to work.
I spontaneously found myself thinking, I could do that! I was so surprised at this foreign thought that I wondered if the Holy Spirit could be speaking to me. I decided I should pray over this possible inspiration. As I prayed, the desire for Africa grew. I eventually shared with my provincial. It seemed to make sense, and so I was eventually missioned to Africa.
I went to Africa in January 1988, to work at the Centre for Spiritual Renewal in Kumasi, Ghana. It was an important experience of being "on the ground" in a moderate-sized city, surrounded by relatively undeveloped rural Africa and a bishop, Peter Sarpong, a renowned anthropologist, who ran his diocese on the model of a tribal chief. In September 1990, I was missioned to Nairobi, Kenya, to teach Systematic Theology at Hekima College Jesuit School of Theology, which prepares Jesuits and others from all over Africa for priesthood. I've been in Nairobi now for 25 years in a variety of ministries, usually two or three at a time.
From your outsider's perspective as a transplanted Hoosier, how has Kenya changed in your time there?
Kenya has emerged from being a relatively undeveloped country in 1990, and it always seems set to take off economically. If only it could crack the nut of government corruption, it has the potential in a well-educated population and its fairly developed infrastructure to become an engine in the development of the region of Eastern Africa.
Why did you found St. Aloysius Gonzaga School and how is it doing?
Christian Life Community (CLC), a worldwide Catholic lay movement, which follows Ignatian spirituality and is closely associated with the Jesuits, began in Nairobi in 1989. Upon arrival a year later, I was asked to become involved as the ecclesiastical assistant or national chaplain. In 2001, some members of CLC choose as their mission a ministry of presence to persons living with AIDS in Kibera, arguably the largest slum in Sub-Saharan Africa, with about half-a-million people. Engaging in this ministry took courage because it was still a time of great stigma being associated with those suffering from the AIDS pandemic. These people were isolated and shunned.
As CLC members listened to these people and their concerns, they kept hearing the worry about the future of their children, which meant education. All education in Kenya is for a fee. Primary education is relatively inexpensive, but secondary was out of reach for the children of these people who were usually sick and unable to hold a job. There were various efforts to help with the education of the children of the people being accompanied. Gradually, the idea of starting an Ignatian high school for these children emerged.
I remember the idea was brought to me on Dec. 13, 2003, I suppose both because I was the chaplain and because they thought that, as an American, I would have some fund-raising potential for a school that was certainly beyond the meager resources of CLC Kenya. I remember becoming silent and praying for a moment and, then, saying, "I don't know if we can succeed, but the potential for good is so great that we have to try."
Amazingly, we opened in mid-January 2004, in the midst of Kibera in a few rented rooms with mud walls and iron-sheet roofs. We accepted 21 sophomores and 35 freshmen in the school that we came to name St. Aloysius Gonzaga. Our criteria for acceptance quickly became clear; we were a college-preparatory school, educating bright AIDS-affected youth living in Kibera slum, meaning for us that they had lost either both their parents or that the one surviving parent was living with AIDS. We quickly began to speak of St. Aloysius as a school of hope, because we were giving a chance to youth who would often speak of themselves as having become hopeless when they recognized that, because of the devastating poverty of their family, they could not pursue a secondary education.
What are the effects of AIDS on your orphaned students and how does the school try to empower them?
Despite being orphaned and mired in poverty and suffering from the stigma of being AIDS-affected, our students are highly motivated and dedicated to studies because they realize that this is their chance out of poverty. Beyond that, most of our students love learning. We do our best to give our students a well-rounded education in the best Jesuit tradition. In fact, while it is sponsored by CLC Kenya, our Jesuit Province of Eastern Africa accepts St. Aloyisus as part of our province network of Jesuit schools.
When we reached the point of having our first graduates in November 2006, we asked, "What next?" In Nairobi, one cannot do much with just a secondary education so we decided that we would try to raise additional money to send our graduates to college. Our benefactors have been so generous that we have been able to achieve this goal.
There is a "gap period" in Kenya between finishing high school and beginning college. We decided to use this time profitably by engaging our graduates in six months of community service. We organize placements in and around Kibera for each graduate. They work Monday to Thursday and come back to school on Fridays for reflection groups. I think that youth like ours, who have experienced marginalization and suffered a great deal but whom we treat as valuable and important, have the potential to be especially sensitive to the plight of others. Their experience of community service goes far in forming our youth into men and women for others.
We also recognized the deficits of schooling in our poor and crowded conditions in the midst of Kibera slum so that we began fund-raising for building a permanent school in 2005. Again, thanks to generous benefactors, we were able to build a modern school, which opened in May 2010. Now we are taking the step of raising money to build dormitories so that our students do not have to return to the difficult situation of Kibera each evening where studying can be almost impossible.
Some American Jesuits burn out in what we used to call the "foreign missions" after an initial period of enthusiasm. What has kept you grounded and sustained during your 27 years in Africa?
Maybe the main difficulties are that progress is so slow and many people do not become "transformed" by our help as quickly as we would desire. I think I learned to recognize pretty quickly that our hope has to be in the Lord. If I can be an instrument in Christ's saving work, great! We do what we can, and my work is about facilitation. Despite the pressures to work long hours, I know that it is essential that I maintain for myself what I want for others, a balanced life of work, prayer, community, friendships and some healthy relaxation.
What have been some highlights of your time in Africa?
When I came to Nairobi in 1990, our Jesuit province of Eastern Africa was 95 members, including over half in formation, and most of those in the trenches were non-African. Twenty-five years later, we are 210 members, still including over half in formation, but with just a few rather elderly non-African members. African Jesuits are now doing such great work! I am pleased to be part of the forming of African Jesuits competently to lead the province and to continue to develop our service.
I am proud that CLC Kenya has developed into a strong, vibrant community on mission that can successfully sponsor a high school that is achieving so much.
What have been some challenges for you?
The greatest challenge has been not to become overwhelmed by the poverty and injustice that I see around me. I must maintain the belief that my role is to facilitate others in being grounded in our call to continue the saving work of Christ, in helping each realize his or her potential, and in building a community of support for realizing this work.
What have you learned from your time in Africa thus far?
I have been amazed at how our students at St. Aloysius so frequently speak of their gratitude for all God does for them. I find myself wondering, if I lived their situation, would I rather be cursing God? I become more grateful and that leads me to want to make a return for all I have received.
How do you pray?
My core prayer is about being with Jesus as present to the world around me and to the particular persons and situations that make up my reality. Often, I sit in gratitude. Sometimes, I come to recognize my failures or how I can respond better. I pray I become stronger in doing the Lord's will, which I see as being purified of my a prioris so that I can more freely respond according to what the situation calls for.
What is your favorite Scripture passage and why?
Romans 8:28 reads in part, "God draws all things to good for those who love him." This tells me that God is working for good in every situation. There is no situation so horrible, desperate or sinful that God is not at least potentially present, working for good. Indeed, don't we believe that our salvation comes from the most Godforsaken situation of the intentional murder of an innocent man? But might God want to be working in a given situation even through the likes of me? As one who tries to love God, my discernment must be open to the recognition that God could be asking me to be present in even the most horrendous situation so that God can bring about salvation through me.
Any final thoughts?

Q: Help! We live in a two-bedroom apartment with three cats and have become overrun with fleas during the past two weeks. We have a small patio where our cats go out to sun themselves and we occasionally get visiting cats from the neighborhood, so I'm sure that this is a source for part of our flea problem. The apartment is carpeted and must be a good home for the new flea population that has recently moved in. We use a spray on the cats and they have flea collars. I'm reluctant to use flea bombs because of the cats. Do you have any other suggestions for us? Will using a carpet cleaner get rid of the fleas?
M. Mohen, Huntington Beach
A: This is the worst time of the year for flea problems and the most difficult time to rid the house and yard of fleas. Unfortunately for us, Southern California is an ideal location for these parasites, and they appear to be firmly entrenched. To control a flea infestation, you must control the environment where the fleas live, which is in the carpeting and on the patio, as well as remove the fleas from your cats.
The patio may be treated with a spray insecticide. Be sure to cover all the borders and fence lines. The cement patio itself will need to be treated, as well, because the eggs and larvae can live in the cracks. Your patio area may be too small for an exterminator to come out and treat, but it wouldn't hurt to check. The apartment will also need to be treated very aggressively. Whether you decide to use a contract company to come out and treat the insides or do it yourself with flea "bombs" or sprays, you will need to remove the cats from the area for a period of time. It would be ideal to have the cats boarded for the day, getting a bath and dip while they are away, so that they come home free of fleas and their eggs.

How To Make Money Online Taking Surveys On CashCrate
There are many easy ways to make money online using CashCrate, and I have tried them all. The most popular way for most people is to make money by doing daily surveys. Unlike other survey sites, CashCrate has a lot of surveys that are easier to qualify for. They also have daily surveys that you can take every day to earn money. The daily surveys are located in the surveys tab. In this tab you can normally find surveys that up to a few dollars for just 20 minutes of your time answering survey questions. There are two other survey tabs where you can make money doing surveys. One is called top surveys and the other is bonus surveys. The top surveys are just different surveys that pay about the same amount, but you can answer little profile surveys that can help match you up with surveys that you are more likely to qualify for. You get paid for these little surveys between like 10-25 cents each and they take just a couple minutes or even seconds to complete. They will also save you time in the future when taking other surveys. Bonus surveys just have some other surveys and some video you can watch to earn as well. So many people say "I need money" while they could be earning extra income by using CashCrate. Copy and paste this link to sign up free http://www.cashcrate.com/5359368

How To Make Money Online With Cash Offers On CashCrate
The easiest and best way to earn money is doing the cash offers. These are under the first green tab that says offers on the left side. There are many different types of offers like downloading free apps to your smart phone or tablet or signing up for free samples. The ones I do the most are the ones that you just have to click through some pages, answer a few simple and quick questions and then click on two offers. You then get paid between 50 cents and 2 dollars. It takes just 5 minutes to complete this type of offer so that's pretty easy money. There's just one problem I have had lately, a few of my offers are still pending. I have contacted CashCrate about this yesterday and am awaiting their reply. I usually get paid right away, but for some of the offers they are still in pending status. But with all of the offers I have gotten paid for its still my favorite thing to do to make money online. Another way to get paid under the offers tab is to click on the RadioLoyalty tab that will pay you 3 cents for every 30 minutes of music you listen to. You can even put it on mute if you want!

CashCrate Bonus Offers
How To Make Money Online With Bonus Offers
Bonus offers on CashCrate are usually doing free trial. You can do free trials like GameFly for 30 days and just cancel before the end of it. You will get paid right away for signing up for free. These bonus offers pay up to $18 and many of them are just for signing up for a free trial. I got paid $8 for signing up for a free trial for stamps.com. I just cancelled at the end and never got charged for anything, but I made $8 for nothing! That's free money! Bonus offers are another great way to earn on CashCrate.
How To Make Money Online With CashCrate Referrals
The CashCrate referral program is awesome. There are 5 different levels of the referral program that you can get to. On the first level you get 20% for the cash offers that your referrals complete and you also get 5 cents for each survey and bonus offer completed by your referral. You also get 10% of what their referrals make too. You also get a $3 bonus for when every referral makes their first $10. The first level of the referral program is bronze. The second level is silver. You need 50 active referrals in order to get this. You will now earn 25% instead of 20% for your referrals cash offers. You'll also get paid on the first of the month instead of the 15th and you can choose to get $1 per active referral instead of $3 for when they earn their first $10. You also can choose to get paid by direct deposit instead of check. You need 150 referrals to get the gold level. Gold level will get 15% instead of 10% for the referrals that your referrals get. You need 30 referrals to get platinum level and it will get you 30% of the cash offers your referral completes. The last level is Elite and it takes 500 referrals to get to.

The photo on the front page of the March 19 newspaper was most interesting and somewhat scary.
The article stated that tree cutters called the police when they saw the tattoo of a handgun on the belly of Michael Smith. Here's the interesting part: Much more prominent on the bare upper body of Smith was the tattoo of a flame, much larger on the forearm than the tattoo of the gun on his belly. I'm just wondering, why didn't the tree cutters call the fire department? Certainly it must have looked like Smith was on fire.
Now comes the scary part: The reaction of the police to the whole thing. Without even seeing a gun of any kind, the state police were taking full aim with an automatic assault rifle at Smith's house. Had Smith walked out the door, would the very nervous state trooper have fired at him?
This incident reminded me of the Katherine Hegarty shooting in 1992. Seems that Hegarty, of Bingham, was awakened by Maine state troopers and Somerset County sheriffs and shot to death. Smith is a very lucky man indeed that history did not repeat itself.
I have often scoffed at the Second Amendment (right to have a gun) folks who seem paranoid about their guns being taken away. I'm beginning to understand them a little better, now.

While some may consider Labor Day weekend the official end of summer, all of us here at Scholastic know that summer isn't over until the Summer Reading Challenge says so!
This year, the Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge ends this Friday, September 8 and 3PM ET -- that means there's only three days left for kids to log their reading minutes!
Minute Mania Month is still going strong, which means kids can log their reading minutes from the entire summer; kids can go all the way back to week 1. (As you may recall, the 2017 Summer Reading Challenge started all the way back in the first week of May. That's a lot of reading to log!)
Right now, kids have logged an impressive 126 summer reading minutes -- but there's still time for kids to help make that number even bigger. Plus, by logging more minutes, kids can help their school, library, or community partner organization earn special recognition. Soon after the end of the Challenge, we'll be announcing the "Best in State" Schools, along with the Top 5 Libraries and Top 5 Community Partners.
There's still lots more fun in store - so, make sure your participating kids head on over to scholastic.com/summer this week... because every minute counts!

One Day At A Time - Poem by John Overman
It was a few 24 hrs. ago I met a group of people that accepted me for who I am a human being no less or greater than.
For those people showed me how to live a life on a simple way
showing me how to control my volcano pressure valve
I use to call anger on a 5 minute at a time scale.
For if I knew when I met this group of people how much they would enrich
my life and love me unconditionly until I could love myself the way
this special group of people could. They cross my path on a regular basis, for I chose to spend more time with them today
for we can say excatly what we think or feel and not have to worry
about stepping on anybodies toes today.

Poetry Friday
19 Friday Feb 2010
Written by flahute in Word Play
consciousness, debt, eyes, face, George Oppen, hope, imperfection, light, perfection, pin-up, poetry, Pulitzer Prize, purity, QOTD, reservation, skills, tolerance, virtue, W.S. Merwin
I have heard so much about you
if you claim to be you
I will know it's not true
if you say nothing I will listen
as I do
with my own
old mixed feelings
of hope and reservation
hearing through them
whatever might be you
the way I see
the white light from
the beginning
through the colors of the garden
through a face an eye
W.S. Merwin (b. 1927), American poet and translator.
That 'part
Of consciousness
That works':
A virtue, then, a skill
Of benches and the shock
Of the press where an instant on the steel bed
The manufactured part——
And imperfect. Not as perfect
As the die they made
Which was imperfect. Checked
To tolerance
Among the pin ups, notices, conversion charts,
And skills, so little said of it
George Oppen (1908 – 1984), Pulitzer Prize winning American poet.

Greater Southern Nodaway County Community Foundation (GSNCCF), an affiliate of Nodaway County Economic Development (NCED), has received a HEAL Grant, funding to the amount of $11,344.50, for their SN Fitness project, from HEALTHY PARTNERSHIPS (a partnership of Heartland Foundation, Heartland Health, and North Kansas City Hospital). All parties are committed to improving the health of residents in this region. Sue Nothstine (GSNCCF) and Lisa Macali (NCED), along with other recipients, were presented an award certificate at the Heartland Foundation board meeting/luncheon, held on Wednesday, February 25, 2014 in St. Joseph.
This fitness project promotes healthy eating and active living through creation of a SN Fitness Club for community members of all ages. South Nodaway students will be provided weekly exercise opportunities by visiting the Maryville Community Center. This unique partnering combines local volunteers, staff, and facilities with Maryville Parks and Recreation services, where gym equipment, basketball courts and walking track are available despite the weather. NWMSU college interns will work with students each Monday throughout the 2014-2015 school year. Simultaneously, the adult club members will share a weekly exercise/education session at the Barnard Christian Church, followed by helping to prepare and serve a light healthy meal for the youngsters upon their return from Maryville. Monthly, parents of the participating students will be invited to share a delicious hot, healthy meal with their children and are treated to innovative educational sessions on how to incorporate healthy eating/active living into their daily lives. The result is a community team effort which is fun, educational, and effectively hits at all age levels.
GSNCCF wishes to thank Maryville Parks and Recreation, Barnard Christian Church, South Nodaway School , and Longhorn PTO, for generously partnering with us in this endeavor.

Up-regulation of uPARAP-Endo180 during culture activation of rat hepatic stellate cells and its presence in hepatic stellate cell lines from different species
Up-regulation of uPARAP-Endo180 during culture activation of rat hepatic stellate cells and its presence in hepatic stellate cell lines from different species - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
BMC Cell Biology
, 10:39
First Online: 11 May 2009Received: 18 November 2008Accepted: 11 May 2009
BackgroundThe urokinase plasminogen activator receptor associated protein uPARAP-Endo180 is a novel endocytic receptor that mediates collagen uptake and is implicated to play a role in physiological and pathological tissue-remodelling processes by mediating intracellular collagen degradation.
ResultThis study investigates the expression of uPARAP-Endo180 protein and messenger RNA in primary rat hepatic stellate cell HSC cultures. The results show that uPARAP-Endo180 protein is not expressed in freshly isolated HSCs or during the first few days of culture while the cells still display quiescent features. In contrast, uPARAP-Endo180 protein is expressed early during HSC activation when cells are transdifferentiated into myofibroblast-like cells. Very low levels of uPARAP-Endo180 mRNA are detectable during the first days of culture but uPARAP-Endo180 mRNA is strongly up-regulated with increasing time in culture. Moreover, endocytic uptake of denatured collagen increases as transdifferentiation proceeds over time and correlates with increased expression of uPARAP-Endo180. Finally, analysis of uPARAP-Endo180 expression in four hepatic stellate cell lines from three different species showed that all these cell lines express uPARAP-Endo180 and are able to take up denatured collagen efficiently.
ConclusionThese results demonstrate that uPARAP-Endo180 expression by rat HSCs is strongly up-regulated during culture activation and identify this receptor as a feature common to culture-activated HSCs.
