We got stopped for road construction on the way to Anthony Lake. We all got out of the car for a bit and the kids were a bit goofy! Getting a head start on playing in the dirt.
We got camp all set up and the next morning they were very excited to get to wake up and get dirty!
After nap time bed head!
My grandparents met us up there for an afternoon of fishing! Tiana's purple princess pole proved successful once again!
Keaton spent most of the time in the boat with Poppy and Grammy but he got a ride back in with us in the kayak for nap time! Trying to get a photo of the crew with tired kids is not a great idea!
Love these next few..... absent mindedly put hand in mouth....
Ewww that was gross!
Note to self, don't eat dirt!
Keaton, Daddy and Poppy went back out to fish while we held down camp. Grammy and Tiana had fun feeding some chipmunks!
Stare down.
Trying VERY hard to sit still but it was a little scary.
So exciting that they finally found the bits of food.
They had a blast putting dirt and chairs in the chairs!
Taking full advantage of mom letting them get dirty!
Camden and Tiana made sure that they were fully covered in dirt. Camden even took handfuls and rubbed it in his hair... just to make sure!
The next day Grandma and Grandpa came up and joined us for the rest of the weekend. We took a short hike (1 mile up to a lake).
Camden enjoying the ride.
Crossing a bridge.
Tiana made it most of the way up and Keaton RAN the entire way!
The girls. Tiana was needing a break from hiking so we were picking flowers to put in her hair.
The crew. At this point we noticed that Keaton's face was getting more and more swollen by the minute! His forehead above his left eye was VERY big. Gave us all quite the scare.... needless to say we were one mile from camp so there was nothing we could do. He was acting fine so on we went back down.
Camden fell asleep during the last 5 minutes of the hike!
I was EXTREMELY worried about Keaton, he looked so bad. He kept coming up to me, giving me a hug and saying "I love you Mommy" and "Don't worry Mommy, it will be ok, I'm fine". Poor kid knew something was up. We found him on this rock all by himself. Breaks my heart still to think about this day!
This photo doesn't make it look NEAR as bad as it did, but you can tell it is swollen between his eyes and then down the right temple. During dinner I could see it spreading and right then and there deciding he was going to the ER. Daddy and Keaton took off and I stayed with the other kids knowing that a couple miles down the road I had cell service so I could call and check up on them. Turns out he had facial cellulitis or an infection from a bug bite. My doctor told me later that it could have easily been Staph infection so it was a VERY good thing we took him in. He was a trooper, they even did x-rays of his face (since when they asked if he fell he said yes.... he didn't but when you ask a 3 year old if they fell they respond to not just today but last week and yes he had fallen at some point!!!). During the x-rays he didn't even move. He got spoiled by the ER, they gave him a stuffed elephant and stickers, and he got to watch tv in his room so he was happy! They ended up giving him a shot of prednisone and antibiotics. He was such a trooper. This kid has gone through quite a bit in his 3 years and it amazes me each time how grown up he is. Keaton amazes me. We were a bit worried that something like this can cause Bells Palsy again but so far so good!
The funny thing was Keaton hardly had any bug bites and Tiana on the other hand had so many it looked like she had chicken pox! Camden didn't have one bite... they don't like him!
Cuddle time with Grandpa!
The next day we left after lunch. I don't have any photos from that day because Keaton finally started acting like he looked! The day we took him in he ran an entire 2 mile hike, didn't act like he was hurt at all. But by the next day he hurt all over and kept saying "everything is bothering me". His head hurt and itched so he had to be held and cuddled all day. Needless to say Daddy took down camp while I held kids!
We had a wonderful time though over all. The kids loved it but were ready to come home, 4 nights was plenty! We came home and started swimming lessons the next day and then Tiana decided to start potty training! So, we have had a very busy couple weeks!
Camden learned a few new words, "hot" because of the campfire, he now says "out", "ease" while signing please, as well as repeating random things that we say! Tiana's favorite sayings are "ooooh maaaan" (gets that one from me) "dats bedda" (that's better). They have also gotten to the point that all of the sudden potty talk is hilarious! Keaton thinks the song about little rabbit fu-fu is little rabbit "poo-poo" which he thinks is the funniest thing. He also knows that he can't say things like that unless we are in the bathroom so he thinks it is a naughty song!

Starting mixtures of BaCO3, ZnO, and TiO2 powders are mechanically activated in a planetary ball mill for various periods of time. The powders obtained are sintered isothermally at 1100°C for 120 min. Non-isothermal sintering process is followed by measurements with a sensitive dilatometer, as well. Results of microstructure characterization using SEM analyses along with DTA analyses are provided. These results are correlated with the values of electric resistivity, capacitance, and loss tangent of the samples, and it is found that with increasing milling time, the increase in values of electrical properties is noticed.

Teague rode down into the valley, holding his horse to a very slow walk. He did this with two objectives in mind.
Firstly, everything he knew or had heard about reservation vamps indicated they spooked easily. Vamps were, by inclination, nomadic creatures. They were not a gregarious species either. Though organized into clans, their basic social unit was the pack. Each clan consisted of numerous, small semi-autonomous packs that seldom interacted one with another. Thus, being confined to a relatively small space and forced into undesired proximity to others of their kind made them...easily exciteable.
This understanding of their social structure had been learned through a series of very bloody and very brutal misunderstandings. Josiah Teague was not an excessively cautious man but he had no desire to find himself with either the option of being torn limb from limb or being forced to put down needlessly-enraged vamp natives.
This snippet was selected for the weekly Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday Snippet and is from a work in progress, Josiah Teague: Territorial Agent (a paranormal Western) Previous snippets in this series may be viewed here.

OK, frankly, I have stressed myself out. You too? I know you're out there. All in the name of doing good things with independent American energy. I busied myself with trying to please too many people while ignoring healthy boundaries I needed to make; I set aside life-giving activities like creative writing to tackle "should do this now" life-sucking stuff; I was fearful and worried all the time and not realizing it; I was disorganized, lots of procrastination on decisions and actions that could've cut down my stress levels had I been able to decide and move on activities needed; I pushed self and others, multi-tasking and attempting to solve problems of all sorts, all at one time!
Is there another life I could live..with less stress? I am a disciple of Jesus. Does it have to be this way? Like the motto here is "Stressed is Best." So wrong to live that way.
"Stressed disciples"—that's not a fair descriptor of New Testament disciples, but it fits most disciples in the 21st century. Sad, don't you think? How are we good news?
So I am deciding to let go of thinking, emoting, and deciding in ways that make stress prominent. I didn't know that I needed to examine its life-zapping role in my life until my body began a serious protest two years ago. Insomnia and anxiety began to dominate and shrink my life down.
So I began to search out the root causes. Blood tests revealed high cortisol levels. I rigorously changed my diet to healthier–had been slowly moving that way. I began to walk 5 times a week. And being a person of faith, I also prayed from Psalm 139:23-24—"Search me, O God, and know my heart! Test me and know my anxious thoughts! Point out anything in me that offends You, and lead me along the path of everlasting life."
I didn't realize what a powerful prayer that was, to invite God into your soul to examine your thought life, attitudes, decisions. It helped change everything. And I saw something precious missing as I examined my life, holding His hand.
Through the up's and down's of the years, I had had a tremendous de-stressor that I gradually gave up, not seeing its value in the midst of pressing commitments and needs to be 'productive.' It truly fits Cinderella's foot like the glass slipper. A one of a kind solution for stressed disciples of Jesus today who want to live a life that matters, a life that truly serves others but doesn't use you up in the process.
Won't solve all your stress problems, but it will begin to help you de-stress and at the same time, greatly enrich your life. Yes, add that dollop of whipped cream to your mug right now!
I'm talking about finding a like minded disciple who wants to live a life that matters, serving others while not getting used up and drained down a sink hole, that wants to experience the abundant life Jesus promised disciples and bring that Good News to others.
Grab this person, thank God for the chance to get together at least once a week and share your lives, pray together about any and everything (instead of worrying about anything), and watch how life begins to sparkle a little, how burdens get a bit lighter, life gets more… do-able.
I have this kind of friendship locally and by phone connecting with a friend on the west coast. We text requests when we can't meet. But best of all there are heart to heart conversations, sharing problems, goals, negative feelings that once named don't hold so much power over you, positive actions and aspirations that get prayed for right alongside pressing problems, people concerns, money, whatever you want to share!
There are many ways to de-stress. This is just one, a mighty good one. So find a prayer buddy, connecting weekly or more often–yay, texting. Then there will be 2 of you meeting together and agreeing together with Jesus in the midst of you! Try it out and watch your stresses shrink. We all need less stress. Jesus said our yokes would be easy and our burdens light when we are His disciples. Might this be part of His plan, the One who sent out His own two by two?

I hope the big move goes really well for you.
I'm loving your decorating ideas- I just found the perfect mirror to put over my own chest of drawers and I was sooo giddy when it turned out looking exactly how I want it to!
oh, and if you're taking votes on the paint colours- the plum one is amazing. The charcoal is nice too, but I'm feelin' the plum.

LOVE it all, even repinned some. ;) I think plum would be great in your room, since it's still your "single" room and guys have a thing against "girlie" colors..psshhh jerks. Charcoal just reminds me of adults, which is why it'll be my next room's color with my husband. With white and yellow accents. :)

I have plum in my bedroom and charcoal in my living room, so I must say - you have great taste in paint colors! Grey is a great neutral, while purple provides a little more of a statement.

No More Friends
Why? Why this drastic step?
Do you ever feel like your life is headed in the wrong direction and a course correction is necessary, no matter how painful? That is where I am right now. I have come to some realizations in the last little while, but I have lacked the courage to follow through.
My first realization is that I need to live life. I have been sitting here for a while watching life pass me by. I have been a passive observer, instead of an active participant. This idea really came into focus last year when I attended a book club, where the book was called "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years". It was a memoir that basically said what I just did. The author was a spectator of life and decided to do something about it. I had felt this in my heart for a long time, but it was solidified in the pages of this book. I knew it was true. I knew I was guilty. Life is passing me by way more than I would ever want it to. I want to live life and have awesome experiences. I know it will benefit my children and family, but I am not planning on doing it for them. I am going to do it for me. They will see my good example, and that will be a positive consequence, but it is not my motivation. My motivation is purely selfish. I only have one life. I need to live it and be a part of it.
Does this mean that I will be hiking the Inca Trail to the pinnacle of Machu Picchu? Probably not. But can I hike the endless trails of the Wasatch front, listen to the birds sing, learn the names of the trees and plants, rediscover the wonder of bugs and snakes, and drink in the beauty of God's creations? Yes, I can. I can do that every single day. I can get on the ground and play with my kids, read more books that will take me to magical places and expand my mind to ideas I have never considered. I can step out of my front door and stop by to see a neighbor, call an old friend, write a letter. I can make a real, tangible social network in my life, based on real relationships that take work and thought. I have been so lazy and passive.
This gets into my second reason for unplugging. I have realized that the more "connected" I am in cyber-space, the more disconnected I really am to people in my life. A high "friend total" does not measure my worth or popularity in life. My real friends, the ones I really care about, and who really care about me will be in my life. If my relationship with someone was never strong to begin with, then they will go their way and I will go mine. It is not like Facebook was really strengthening anything to begin with. I can't be best friends with everyone and I can't stay in everyone's business. It is cluttering my mind. I am here. If you need me, you can find me. But I am going to start really focusing on what is in front of me...the people who are in my path now. I don't know what relationships will endure, but the ones that do will be based on concrete things. This is going to require effort on my part and I will put the effort in where I feel that I should. And for all my friends, I will just have a whole lot more Christmas cards to start sending out every year.
There is one thing I know about myself. I have an addictive personality. I grew up in a house of TV addicts. Hence, I am most definitely a TV addict. This is the next step in my life. I just really need to unplug everything. I have done that before with TV and it really does make a difference. But just like TV, Facebook and things of that nature fill the void. I make no plans, I set no goals, and then I feel deprived and need to fill it in with something and TV/Facebook do the trick. It is unfulfilling and depressing and I just need to cut the cord.
My kids are really starting to do stuff, cool stuff. I want to lead the way. I want to be right there with them.
Now that I am unshackling myself from all of this nonsense, I am going to live life from the driver's seat, unfettered and unafraid. That is, once I go through my withdrawal phase. It could take a while.

Way to go! I have been thinking the same thing myself. I can't tell you how much garbage I scroll through each day. If it was seriously just pictures of people kid then fantastic or a great quote fantastic, but often people are sharing so much stuff that has little or no importance. Have fun enjoying your children.

Oh.My.Goodness. I am so proud of you!! Do you know that is exactly why I never signed up for Facebook? Because I think/know I would waste too much time on it!!!! (As if I don't waste enough time already...)
Anyway, my favorite line from your blog-- the more "connected" we are in cyberspace, the less connected we are to the people around us. Very profound and so true.
You are amazing. And I love you. XO

Steely Determination
07.12.17 – Wine Investment –
"Steel Rally's So Powerful It's Now Back To Lehman-Crisis Levels" was the Bloomberg headline that caught our eye this morning, making us ponder that the global economy must be in decent shape after all. It seems no time since we were reading doom-laden scenarios for commodities like Iron Ore because the Chinese had colossally overbought, or their economy was going to spontaneously combust, or whatever. Australia might as well just shut up shop.
Yet here we are, and prices are happily rising again, so I wondered about when exactly they must have bottomed. Sure enough, look at pretty much any base metal commodity price chart and you will find something that rings eerily familiar: they nearly all bottomed out at the end of 2015 and have been climbing, sometimes quite dramatically, over the last two years. People out there must be making things. Big things, and many of them.
The same is true of the crude oil price, down 35% on a 5 year view but up 46% over 2 years, and gold, down 26% and up 18% over the same time frames. It is almost as it everyone came to the conclusion at the same time that the world wasn't going to hell in a hand-basket after all (no, I have never really understood that expression either, but you get the drift). We can argue the efficacies or otherwise of QE till the cows come home but the evidence is that there is a lot of positive energy in the commodity markets.
This simply cannot be anything other than good news for fine wine prices, for two reasons: some people buy it in reflection of its properties as a physical asset, whilst others do so because they can afford it, and more people can afford it when global economies do well than during downturns. As we have suggested before, there is an element of perfect hedge about all this; it's a winner either way.
Plenty of people will moan about their losses in Bordeaux post 2011, without acknowledging the fact either that they jumped on a bandwagon without really thinking about it (caveat emptor), or that they have still made money over the longer term notwithstanding. When prices escalate such as they did up to June 2011 you either have to know what is going on (in this case ramping by Asian-based syndicates predicated on the expectation that China's appetite might be inexhaustible), or else take money off the table.
We see no such activity this time round, however. We see simply a nice gradual rise in prices, which encourages us to put more money to work in the market, and there are still a few bargains around, on both sides of the river. There follows, therefore, what amounts to a small selection of Bordeaux wines which we think you should put into a favoured loved-one's Christmas stocking.
Angelus 2009. After the 2002 this is the worst performing Angelus this year, rising 3.77%. It is very similar to the 2010 in that both score 99+, both are priced around £3,300, and both score highly on the algorithm. The 2010 is up 7.74% this year, so there is little to choose between them. Buy one or the other.
Ausone 2008. Up only 2.22 this year this is a 98 pointer from an underrated vintage. It sits on the algorithm alongside the 2012 which has risen 9.72% ytd so again, one or the other but a marginal preference for the 2008.
The Cheval Blanc 2008 has also underperformed, up only 2.78% this year, but an even better bet might be the 2011, which has declined by 0.54%. As we illustrated a couple of weeks ago there is no reason to avoid Cheval Blanc so any diversified St Emilion exposure ought certainly to include a case or two.
Over on the Left Bank we persevere with the diversification theme by including wines from both on and off vintages, two First and two Second Growths. Pichon Baron is not a wine to regularly grace our portfolios, but we have pleasure in introducing the delights of the 2009 at this juncture. Scoring 98 points it is their best wine since 1990, although for now the 2015 and 2016 are both in the 96-98 range.
It is unusual for a Left Bank in that it went from £1,000 to £1,300 in the June 2011 to June 2013 period, indeed from January 2012 to March 2013 it outperformed the Liv-ex 100 by over 35%. It has been sitting in breakout territory around the £1,300 mark for the last year and if we feel positive towards the market, and we do, Pichon Baron 2009 merits a purchase.
The other Second Growth is Cos d'Estournel 2006. Rising 2.54% it is the second worst performer this year, and scores very highly on the algorithm. This wine had a decent rebound from its lows of 2015 but again having consolidated those gains it looks poised for a breakout.
Over in First Growth territory it's a toss up between the 2009s of Lafite and Mouton. With algorithm scores of 7.5 and 7.7 respectively they are both considerably better relative value than any other on-vintage First Growth, but having declined by 1.72% against the Lafite's rise of 8.1% we currently plump for the Mouton.
Finally in this little parcel we recommend Haut Brion 2006. 2006 was a highly indifferent vintage in Pessac-Leognan but everything has its price. In fact Haut Brion produced a very respectable 96 pointer that year and the combination of best algorithmic score and a price rise ytd of only 1.41% lead us to the conclusion that it should be picked up at these levels.
It is important to note our acknowledgement of the departure of Neal Martin from the Robert Parker stable. As Amphora clients know the wine scores are an important part of our algorithm so we will monitor developments on that front with great interest.

This is the day of La lumière, the name of my site. The weekly newsletter of the department I am handling comes out every Thursday. As this is the most important Thursday of the year, it is worthwhile to look at the reason behind the special character of this day of the week.
Every Thursday, in praying the rosary, we meditate upon the mysteries of light, and thus, the name La lumière. These mysteries culminate in the institution of the Eucharist by our Lord: Holy Thursday. This Lord's Supper the institution of which we celebrate today, begins the Easter Triduum which leads to our celebration of Easter, the commemoration of the Lord's resurrection. Thursday thus becomes the light that leads us into the threshold of the summit of our Christian life: celebrating Life—Jesus rising again to life.
Let the ponderings that we make these days of the Triduum and throughout the Easter Season make us even more thankful of the gift of Thursday: the gift of Christ's love and service, the gift of his presence—so vivid in the Last Supper!
A blessed Paschal Triduum to each one of you!

The year is wrapping up quickly, and I find myself back on the blog today quite unintentionally. I'm meant to be packing up our things into boxes right now, but as I reread my last post, I felt compelled to update and make one final entry here– after quite another long absence– as both a conclusion and goodbye of sorts. I started this blog to record our travels, new experiences and transitions after leaving Denver, but it feels as though our next transition and accompanying adventures has no home on this site…
But to back up a moment–
In November, J quite unexpectedly found a perfect position with Denver's Habitat for Humanity–an organization dear to my heart after my own Americorps experience there–and it became quite clear that his job offer also meant sticking around Denver for the foreseeable future. In the back of my mind, I didn't think I was really ready to make that commitment when we first got back from Florida, but it has proven to be an amazing opportunity for him, and I feel grateful that his dreams are falling into place here! I'm so excited for him and to see what the future holds for us now that we have decided to put down some roots. I had been feeling so uncertain with where to go/what to do next that it is a tremendous relief to have gotten an answer…Denver, it is (well, at least for now–you can't keep a traveler tied down forever, haha)!
Around the same time, I also received a job offer from a language school in Denver, and while I hadn't initially planned to accept it, J's change in plans made me reconsider as well. I ended up subbing at the school in November for a couple of days and was excited by the energy of the students and fellow teachers there–and I began to really see the potential! I'm due to start teaching there permanently January 5th, and I also have a couple of classes lined up back at my old university program, so I'm gonna have quite the teaching load between the two schools!
However, these past 6 months of unemployment have really highlighted my need to be engaged in meaningful work, and I've found I really miss my interactions with students. Staying at home with my thoughts was not nearly as fun. I did plod along with NaNoWriMo for a couple of weeks, but ultimately was too distracted by combating the anxiety around our uncertainties and plan-making to finish my efforts. The experience did help me realize the solitude in writing and further emphasized the awareness that I do really thrive in a more social working environment! Overall, October, November and December were really tough for me, but I can appreciate that time as one of germination, and I'm looking forward to seeing the fruits of all the seeds that were planted this fall.
And speaking of which, one of those soonest-to-ripen fruits is our delicious new place! We are set to finally move into our next home tomorrow!! Can you tell I'm pumped?!!! We've been nomads for the past 18 months, and it's so invigorating to have an address, to have a "home" again! There are boxes out in J's parent's garage–pretty much all that is left of our former Denver life–that haven't been touched since last June, and I can't wait to open them up again…it'll be like Christmas all over again! And yet, because we sold so much of our former lives, it still feels like starting from scratch. Thankfully, this past week my mom was in town to celebrate the holiday, and we put in some serious effort becoming thrift store/Craigslist good-deal-champions! Thanks again for everything, mom! 🙂
Which reminds me, I need to be packing!
So, I guess here's where I get to the goodbye part. I've loved this space, and I'm still amazed at how much we saw and did over the span of the past year and a half. However, 2015 is promising a whole new set of adventures–a new Denver neighborhood to explore, new jobs for J and I, and some amazing friends to enjoy Colorado life with!–and I feel ready to archive this space as I turn my efforts to some new challenges, both professionally and personally.
So thanks for reading, all of your words and encouragement, and for allowing me to share this small moment of our lives with you.

The coelacanth has been nicknamed a "living fossil", because its fossils were found long before the actual discovery of a live specimen. The coelacanth is the only surviving species of a prehistoric group of fish, the crossopterygii, from which some scientist suspect the first vertebrates evolved.
Coelacanths are elusive, deep-sea creatures, living in depths up to 2,300 feet. Its population figures are, predictably, not well known, but studies in the Comoros suggest that only about 1,000 remain there. They are considered an endangered species.

We know that one of the best parts of NYFLC is all the amazing feminists you have the chance to meet and connect with, but there is so much information and work to be done throughout our plenaries and workshops. The Feminist Campus Team wants to make sure that regardless of your mood and flavor, there's an option for you to kick back and make some new feminist friends. We have a little something for everyone…
Mixer Option 1: Miss Representation Film Screening and Discussion
Feel like staying in after the long day? We'll be showing the incredible documentary Miss Representation, a film that exposes the underrepresentation of women in mainstream media and its impact on ourselves and on the power imbalances in our society. The movie will begin at 7pm and run until about 10pm. We'll also have soft drinks, cookies & brownie and after the film the amazing Feminist Majority Foundation interns will lead a discussion.
Mixer Option 2: Networking Mixer with the Women's Information Network in Adams Morgan
Join us and the amazing women of Women's Information Network to meet and learn more about the variety of career paths you can pursue as a feminist. Hang out on the second floor of one of our favorite restaurants, Madam's Organ Blues Bar, in DC's Adams Morgan neighborhood with women who have found ways to put their feminism into practice through a variety of work.
Located at 2461 18th St NW, Madams Organ is accessible by metro followed by a 15 minute walk (parking in the city is very limited, so we suggest public transportation):
- Take the Yellow line in the direction of Fort Totten and get off at the Columbia Heights stop. From there, you'll head South on 14th street for a block, then take a right on Columbia Road. Stay on Columbia Rd for about 10 minutes, then take a left on 18th. The bar is a short distance from there and will be on your left.
- To travel with a group, meet across the street from hotel near Chili's at 6:15pm, and we'll all head there together. If you come late or on your own, make sure to tell the front door that you are with a group on the second floor to avoid being charged cover.
This event is accessible to everyone, including those under 21, from 7-9pm. At 9pm the bar invites us to stay, but those who are underage must exit.
Food and drinks will be available at the bar. Their food menu includes things like burgers, chili, and nachos (vegetarian!). Prices for food range from $5-$12. No food or drink minimum.
Mixer 3: Dinner Mixer at Vapiano's in Chinatown
Feel like checking out the downtown scene of DC? Chinatown is a great area with lots of bars and restaurants for tastes of all varieties and options for all ages. We've reserved a section for NYFLC attendees at a hip Italian bar and restaurant called Vapiano, located at 623 H St NW in the heart of Chinatown.
The restaurant is metro accessible – hop in the Yellow line in the direction of Fort Totten, and get off at the Gallery Place/Chinatown stop. From there, you'll take 7thSt North and take an immediate right onto H St.
- To travel with a group, meet across the street near Chili's at 6:20pm. The event is accessible to everyone, including those under 21, from 7-10pm. If you come late, look for us in the front by the couches.
Food offered here: pizza, pasta, salads, and prices range from $10-20. You're not required to purchase food, and Vapiano's "chipcard" system makes it really easy for each person to only pay for their own items without the hassle of splitting the bill!
As always, if you have any questions, you can email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Weinberg Foundation Announces New Program Officer
BALTIMORE, April 16, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, one of the largest private foundations in the United States, today welcomes Earl Millett as the Foundation's newest program officer. Millett will manage grants to nonprofits that serve low-income and vulnerable populations in the areas of older adults, workforce development, and basic human needs and health.
Prior to joining the Weinberg Foundation, Millett served as the Chief Operating Officer of Civic Works, a Baltimore-based nonprofit that transforms the lives of Baltimore residents through community service and skills development. Each year, Civic Works serves 200 AmeriCorps members, 100 job trainees, 3,000 volunteers, and more than 15,000 low-income Baltimore-area residents.
"During his time at Civic Works, Earl oversaw several programs, including services focused on meeting the needs of older adults," said Aaron Merki, Managing Director, Programs and Grants and Program Director, Older Adult Services for the Weinberg Foundation. "We had the opportunity to work with Earl on one of the Foundation's key initiatives—the expansion of the Housing Upgrades to Benefit Seniors (HUBS) project, which provides home modifications and repairs to help older adults remain independent. He is a highly regarded professional who has been one of Baltimore's most effective nonprofit leaders for many years now, and we are thrilled to have him join the Weinberg Foundation team."
Millett also managed Civic Works' Community Lot Team and Baltimore Conservation Leadership Corps, which teach young adults job skills while transforming vacant lots into community parks and gardens. In addition, he led food and farm programs, including Real Food Farm and the Baltimore Orchard Project, as well as the Baltimore Energy Challenge, which provides energy education and energy saving retrofits throughout the City.
Before joining Civic Works, Millett served with the Peace Corps in Ecuador as an environmental extension agent at the Charles Darwin Foundation. In that role, he taught environmental and science education in Spanish at five schools and worked with agricultural operators to improve agricultural production on the Galapagos Islands.
Millett earned his B.A. in Geography and Environmental Systems from the University of Maryland Baltimore County. He is a member of the Greater Baltimore Committee Leadership Class of 2016 and a recipient of Smart CEO's 2017 Executive Management Award. In addition, he is engaged in several volunteer roles, including the Green School of Baltimore's PTO. Millett resides in Baltimore with his wife Elizabeth Alex and their eight-year-old daughter.

In 1985, he was just another Beverly Hills hairdresser.
But now--three years, two restaurants, one art gallery and a clothing store later--Mario Tamayo is amassing a mini-empire at the "wrong" end of Melrose and attracting all the "right" people to it.
He has become the new buddy of movie stars and studio honchos and the social moth of the club and charity circuit. And he has been discovered by such national publications as Women's Wear Daily, Harper's Bazaar, Elle and Esquire.
Never heard of him? Rest easy. Though Tamayo is the name to drop at too-trendy spots like the underground club Ground Zero, it's still far from a household word.

We are still trying to limit Augie's access to Gwen's milk, primarily to keep her udder from further damage. Also, now that we have about six inches of snow on the ground, there isn't a lot of available grass in the pasture so I'm going to keep Gwen up in her pasture close to the house where she has access to a round bale. We may see if we can keep her up here for the rest of the winter. I don't want to risk her slipping and falling on frozen ground.
When Wally went down to feed the horses this morning, he said he didn't see the calves. As soon as it was light, I looked for them myself and didn't see them. Gwen was hollering for them so I decided to send Gel for them and allow Augie to finish what was left in Gwen's udder.
I sent him out and he was gone for what seemed like a long time (time passes very, very slowly when you are standing in the cold). Finally, here he comes with both calves moving ahead of him at a trot. Good boy, Gel. Saved me a lot of walking looking for them. I'll need to go back down there and move them back into the lower pasture before going to work. I feel bad that Gwen is alone so much and wish we could afford a second cow to keep her company. That simply isn't in the cards right now.
Damn it's cold. Got to go and get a shower and then head out to move the calves.
Until later …

Before I started my series "Eyes of Owl's" I did a few owls and this was one. Enjoy!!!
Hi, my name is John D. Benson and I was born in Baltimore Maryland. I attended school in Baltimore County and studied at the Maryland Institute of Art. I have attended classes and workshops in Graz, Austria with Lou Rizzlo of North Western U. I have also had the privilege of studying with World Renowned Watercolor Artist " Charles Reid in 2010 in the Baltics. Comments by "Charles Reid" "John was in a class of mine on a Baltic Cruise. He is a delight to know, and his paintings capture whatever the subject matter is, beautifully. Anyone would be impressed looking at the paintings on his web site. John is a fine artist!" I have the talent that allows me to capture the person in Portraiture. Knowing the person does not matter, I just...

How it works is that is that anything that can be re-worn is marketed as second hand goods, anything that can be reused because they are no longer suitable for wearing are converted into other products such as cleaning cloths. Textiles that can't be reused are recycled into textile fibres or manufacturing products and if none of the previous methods can be done they are used to produce energy.
You can only collect 2 vouchers per day and they only accept clothing items at the moment. My vouchers have a 6 month expiry date on them at the moment which is great and gives me lots of time to use them up as you can only use 1 voucher at a time and must spend at least £30 before you can use it. For me it will also count towards my resolutions of de-cluttering and recycling, bonus.

RESEARCH AND OUR FUTURE From fire to electricity, discoveries have shaped human civilization: fundamental research is the driving force for improving our lives. In 2012, CMS announced its first major discovery, the Higgs boson, a type of particle never seen before. Over the next 20 years, CMS will continue to unravel Nature's secrets, guiding human development in the decades and centuries to come. As with most fundamental research, exploiting this discovery for practical gain is something for the long-term future. There are, however, near-term gains from the huge scientific and engineering efforts that led to the discovery. "Our exploration of Nature at the energy frontier has been made possible by technologies that we have been designing and developing for over twenty years. The CMS Experiment is the outcome of long-term collaboration between thousands of researchers from around the world. Although our primary motives are to extend humanity's knowledge of the Universe, an important consequence for society is the training of a new generation of scientists and engineers who move on to apply their unique skills for the benefit of human health and developments that improve our daily lives." Tiziano Camporesi, CMS Spokesperson (2014–2016)

CMS project approved
CMS at CERN Science and Technology
THE MISSION OF CMS The CMS Collaboration brings together scientists from across the globe in a quest to advance humanity's knowledge of the very basic laws of our Universe. The collaboration is named after the Compact Muon Solenoid, one of the general-purpose particle detectors at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. Its components were designed and fabricated all over the world and brought to CERN for final assembly. Data collected by CMS are shared with several computing centres via the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid. From there, they are distributed to CMS institutions in over forty countries for physics analysis. In keeping with CERN's commitment to open access for high-energy physics, the scientific results from CMS are shared openly with the world.
Marco Mayer, Head of Think Tank Hamamatsu Europe
Working with high-energy physics has driven us to find commercially viable solutions to novel technological challenges. It has allowed us to gain a deeper understanding of our own devices and the products we have developed for research are being used in both industry and medicine.
Giovanna Davatz - Co-founder of Arktis Radiation Detectors Ltd, Switzerland CMS PhD student 2003-2007; Institute for Particle Physics, ETH Zurich, Switzerland
We develop detection systems for homeland security and nuclear safeguard applications, involving hardware and software development for detectors and electronics, and precise simulation. Some of these skills were acquired and enhanced while working at CMS. Being part of such an international high-tech environment was a great experience.
Jan Heyninck - R&D Manager for DENTSPLY International, Belgium CMS PhD student 2003-2007, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium
Over 90% of our doctoral students continue their professional life outside the collaboration. The skills they acquire here prove invaluable in whatever career they pursue.
The CMS collaboration trained me in breaking down complex problems into tangible targets and gave me a valuable perspective on working towards results in an international context. Skills I apply for R&D on 3D digital dental solutions.
Eva Medel Baez Chief Medical Physicist, Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, Puebla Mexico CMS student, 2004, University of Puebla, Mexico
I work in radiation therapy and benefited from my experience at CERN. Working on CMS taught me about fundamental physics, detectors, and radiation safety and I learnt how these can be applied for the benefit of human health.
TECHNOLOGY FOR SOCIETY Jacopo Givoletti, president of CAEN, Italy
Working with CMS on the LHC project represented for CAEN a real revolution that put every department of our company to the test. From this experience CAEN came out stronger, ready to face the new technological challenges that the future holds for LHC and CMS.
"Technology transfer from high-energy physics to medical imaging is active in several domains. A key example is the dedicated breast PET imaging device, ClearPEM, the first of its kind to use a large number of avalanche photodiodes, which is a direct spin-off of the technology initially used for the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter." Paul Lecoq and Etiennette Auffray, CMS Collaboration & Crystal Clear Collaboration "All the accelerators developed for fundamental physics have found applications in tumour therapy. CERN's expertise in building accelerators has played a key role in the construction of the European carbon ion centres worldwide, which are specifically devoted to the treatment of radioresistant tumours." Ugo Amaldi, President of the TERA Foundation

In the beginning, computer memory was created. It was fundamental in its architecture and really rough compared to the computer memory of today. The time was the 1940s and 1950s. As sock hops entertained the children of that generation, the birth of computers and computer memory emerged to the usage of businesses and massive companies. Virtual memory was nonetheless a dream that hadn't had a chance to be dreamt and the speeds at And this the memory had to be accessed hadn't reached above a turtle's crawl compared to today's standards.
Logic and simplified algorithms were the hot Products of those day and technologies brightest star. All massive programs, Which when compared to the today's pieces of software would nonetheless have been tiny, had to have them in order to procedure and Manage two level storage-primary storage and secondary storage.
Then, the subsequent stage of technology spurred from one the depths of the meager beginnings and virtual memory was born. The technology that created virtual memory didn't have the intent of extending primary memory, but rather of Making such an extension possible and relatively easy for programmers to use given that the initial computers were outgrown rapidly by the working world. It didn't take long to figure out that increasing what a computer can frequently do would increase the capability of company to create a profit and grow to be a household name.
The wide range of jobs that the computer can often do was seen in the getting started as limited. with technological advancement, that view swiftly moved to limitless. This shift at the possibilities of computer memory and in computers themselves led to a technological explosion as each and every aspect of each and every conceivable probability and possibility found their way in to the think tanks of programmers and developers intent on growing the functionality of those computer.
The 1960s saw even much more development, with other particular strides in virtual memory. The B5000 hit the market With the new technology and was designed for organization use, not personal use. Personal usage of computers waited at the wings, though it had not been the original intent when the development of computers began.
In 1969, virtual memory finally graduated from a buggy concept along with other several issues with a heavy cost tag attached. IBM researched and proved its advantageous capabilities, moving virtual memory from one infancy to toddlerhood without having any further delays.
The 1970s saw the development of the minicomputers. These, of course, were not the minicomputers of today, but rather big in comparison. Still, they were the smallest computers of their day. The NORD1 didn't do badly at all around the market. The birth of those idea of a personal computer became the concentrate of these decade.
now that the 70s, there are already so multiple changes Using the way computers were used, how they store and hold memory, and at the same time the purpose of computers. The late 70s and early 80s saw the computer begin the personal trek since it showed up in homes. No longer just for business, these computers were quite limited in their ability. The very first personal computers ran just a couple of computer applications and didn't have significantly functionality for Creating the volume of work needed for home offices. By the 90s, this flaw would be rectified as the personal computer became a Common and ordinary addition to homes.
By the 2000s, the home computer produced just as much revenue from one business, created a new method of shopping and balancing finances as their business counterparts. many businesses are now men and women on a home computer working With the same amount of competitive edge as companies who began the technological race for computerized functions years ago. As each and every milestone in technology has advanced, so has computer memory. Today, home computers use and possess the capacity to store massive amounts of information. the popularity of computers will only increase as the alternatives in computer memory and other technology continually speeds up the value and functionality of these computer.

Re. "Apodaca: Common Core may add up to math skills boost we need," (May 12): Patrice Apodaca's enthusiasm for the new Common Core math program, based on her belief that it will improve students' math skills, grabbed my attention.
As a former teacher and the parent of three Newport-Mesa students, education is paramount to me. Apodaca inspired me to investigate Common Core; I do not share her optimism.
Improving students' math skills is a laudable goal. However, the only mathematician on the Common Core Validation Committee, Stanford professor James Milgram, refused to sign off on the standards. He cited a plethora of "extremely serious failings" and concluded that the program is unlikely to achieve the desired results. This academic expert's input was ignored.

I've been watching the trends in the publishing industry for the last several years, and it's interesting to watch the way that readers and fellow authors respond to different works and the like. The divide between YA and "adult" fiction (I use the ironic quotes because YA really doesn't mean less adult content or themes in terms of reading) actually comes down to a little bit of a mindset element like I was talking about between new indies and old guard publishing a couple weeks ago.
Now the YA community environment is heating up politically to some extent, with sensitivity readers and reviewers labeling books as problematic, which has caused quite a stir there, but for the most part, unlike adult fiction, the readership itself hasn't been drawn into this jaded war of ideology. I don't see regular readers shaking fists at messages, demanding more messages, or the like in YA. Some of the editors may be going off on "cultural appropriation" but I see it as the adult fiction trying to get its greedy fingers into the pie and corrupt the genre with their jadedness more than the genre itself lending itself to that. Most the YA readers I find want to sit down, have a cup of tea or a glass of wine, and read for fun. And that mindset is actually pretty refreshing.
When I released For Steam And Country, I was able to see this divide firsthand in authors/readers who checked out the book. I'll start by saying I'm not intending on criticizing my readers or saying anyone's wrong, but there is a mindset differential in the way that people responded based on their reading preferences. YA readers ate up the book, almost zero complaints about it, and it was incredibly well received. The more "hard" science fiction readers who came over to me from my last book for the most part enjoyed it as well, but usually there was a caveat or two with that enjoyment where I found a lot of nitpicking and criticisms of different elements of the book (sometimes people reaching totally opposite critical conclusions about the exact same things!).
A good author friend of mine, for example, said he didn't buy into the book because the whole concept of a farmer girl going and being given command of some aerial weapon of war without any experience didn't ring true to him.
I may have lifted that concept from somewhere. 🙂 It was an interesting complaint to receive. I don't think he's wrong, by the way, but the height of great fiction to me has always been ordinary people doing the extraordinary. But that level of critique when compared with something like Star Wars, again fiction meant for a YA-ish audience if we drill into it, would probably receive similar heavy criticism from a sci-fi literary audience if it were released now under a different name.
It actually is a change from the way Sci-fi used to be from prior to the 80s to now. In the old days,fun adventure, exciting characters and their circumstances used to be what was dominant in the field, and was subsequently replaced by extreme vetting of what "could really happen" that began with jaded industry insiders, and trickled into the ever diminishing SF/F reading public. This is the exact reason why science fiction has been bleeding readers for years — as most people who do want to read do so for escape, and for fun, they don't want to be bogged down in perceived real world problems extrapolated into space and made into dark, gritty, angry messages that revolve around heavy scientific concepts that may or may not be feasible anyway.
YA allows the adventure to flow. At the start of reading Sarah Maas's Throne of Glass, it's easy to see that she has a few qualities: 1. She's set up a character you get attached to 2. the pacing is near-frantic and completely unrealistic, but fun 3. it's got compelling action both in the fighting sense and in the romance sense. It leads to something that someone wants to devour. If I scrutinized every single aspect of every element of the culture and world, I'd find something wrong that I could pick apart as "unrealistic", but because it's YA, we get a pass where we don't have to do that. I'd posit that this story is as good or better than anything in the "real" SF/F field even so. And by the number of readers she has vs. the number of readers the more jaded SF people have, the public agrees.
The focus on character and driving plot is essential. YA does this with a big goal in mind: evoking an emotional response in the reader. The authors, by the way they write, appear almost care about nothing else. They're not so wrapped up in their world building exercises that they bog a story down, they don't focus so hard on metaphors and social engineering to try to create faux-literary nonsense which doesn't stand the test of time anyway. They're not caught up in the politics of the moment, but they're out to create something enjoyable that they can relate to and so can their readers.
The mindset of these YA authors I've met and talked to is very similar to the #PulpRevolution crowd. They're excited for fiction, in love with the work. They gush about other authors in the field and it's really nice to see rather than the constant in-fighting of the science fiction community who seem to have this fear that there's only so many slots for "real writers" and therefore tear each other down. These attitudes come across in the fiction as much as they do in the internet world.
I think that writers have a lot they can learn from YA, and should check out some of these authors for the sake of using elements to incorporate into their own fiction. It's imperative if they want to survive in this ever competitive world, where YA fiction. because of its fun-factor. takes up an increasingly large slice of the pie. A few recommendations:
Sarah J. Maas – Throne of Glass
Suzanne Collins – The Hunger Games (the series that really got this genre going!)
Brandon Sanderson – Steelheart
All of these books incorporate fun, have action + romance, and really make you feel for their main characters. The worlds if you break them down all the way might not be "realistic" but as a backdrop for the story, which is all worlds are meant to be, they are intriguing and help propel it along.
