text: I think of two things when I watch the latest Classroom Session from the kids at Lawrence High School in Kansas. One, that this has to be the coolest High School in the country and two, why was my High School so damn lame. I've been obsessing over the new album Country Sleep from Night Beds lately, so any chance to see a new take or fresh piece of music from them I'm all over it. Check out this wonderful full band version of "Lost Springs" below, and stick around for the interview after the song.

DUPONT, Wash. -- Some of the survivors of Monday's deadly train crash in Washington recounted their horrifying experiences.
"I was going around the curve. We started to tilt and you're just like, we're going way too fast to be tilting like this. The car tilted, everything started flying toward me. People started flying toward me. There was glass, smoke," passenger Scott Claggett said.
Patricia Freeman who spoke to a Q13 FOX reporter hours after the crash. She was visibly shaken and still had some blood on her lips.
"The train tipped and screeched and then just slammed on to its side. On the floor like a pinball and everything on that car was rubble," Freeman said.
"I felt the train leaning towards the side and then pretty much everything went dark. Things were flying around," passenger Anthony Raimondi said.
Emma Shafer told the reporter about the aftermath of the crash.
"It was really, really difficult visibility. Once you kind of got your bearings, the only light you could really see was where the two trains cars normally connect," Shafer said. "It kind of felt like the end of the world, like you just came out of a nuclear bunker and you're standing there amongst all this wreckage."
"People with scratches. Nothing serious in my car. I saw passengers from elsewhere on the train that were hurt very badly. I was in horror. Really, really scary experience," passenger Aleksander Kristiansen said.
The crash happened about 7:40 a.m. in DuPont, about 20 miles south of Tacoma, near the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge. Apparently, a lead engine ran off the track while crossing or approaching an open trestle over Interstate 5. The following rail cars derailed in a jumble on both sides of the track, with some falling to the highway and landing on vehicles and one rail car dangling precariously over the highway.
Several motorists in vehicles that were struck by the fallen train cars suffered injuries, but there were no fatalities among people in those vehicles, the sheriff's office said. Five cars and two semi-trucks were involved in the crash, Bova said.
The southbound train was carrying 77 passengers and seven crew members, said Washington State Patrol spokeswoman Brooke Bova at a news conference. Monday was the first day of the Amtrak Cascades 501 service between Seattle and Portland, Amtrak said.
At least three people died as a result of the derailment.
The train was running on track previously used for occasional freight and military transport, the Washington Department of Transportation said in a news release. WDOT said the track had undergone millions of dollars of federally funded improvements and weeks of inspection and testing.
The NTSB and local authorities have not said what caused the crash, but questions were quickly raised about the train's speed as it hit a curve.

Episode 3: Occam's Razor
Rating: T
"Go find Cuddy and kiss her ass." That's what Wilson had told him. That was why he was standing at her office door right now. And that was why he was doing something he hadn't done since his first day working there. He knocked.
"Come in." She was working diligently on paperwork. When she heard the thump of his cane, she was sure that she had to be mistaken. She looked up slowly. "House? Are you okay?"
He set several files on her desk. "My paperwork"

Summary: Continuation of "Paternity"
House didn't know how long he'd been standing on that lacrosse field. But the sun had gone down hours ago and the sky was now pitch black and his breath was visible. He shook his head and downed two Vicodin before finally heading back to his car. He'd be lying if he said that his missed his old life. Looking back, college was the best time of his life. Lacrosse, running, tons of girls falling over themselves to get to him, Cuddy…he smiled faintly at those memories. She'd pursued him, but not in...

Summary: I'm working on writing a Huddy ending on add-in scene for each episode. This is a continuation of "Pilot". My first huddy fic so be nice :-)
"5PM…Doctor House checking out…make sure you write that down." House tosses the last chart onto the desk. He smirks and makes his way to Cuddy's office, bursting through the doors.
A soft groan of exasperation escapes her lips. "Do you even know how to knock?"

It, had happened. They had slept together. Though, she doesn't regret it, surprisingly. It was all a big blur, really. One small kiss, led to a intense make out, then the make out led to clothes flying off, slamming each other into walls, and finally into his bedroom. And, here she is, at this very moment, quietly putting on her underwear and clothes back on, while he slept soundly. His eyes closed tightly shut, mouth ajar, his breathing loud, but steady. She doesn't know if she should feel guilty for leaving him or not, it's not like he...

"I always want to kiss you." Kept ringing through her head, as her back was pressed against his solid white closet door.

I am kind of tired of all-things-reunion. Bad attitude, I know, but that's where I am. I'm sure I'll probably have a good time. I'm sure I'll be glad I went. But the getting ready and making sure everything is getting done and the multitude of this and that and more of this and then more of that then this is wearing rather thin.
Five years ago at the last reunion I was in such a different place--physically and emotionally. It was a really, really good place. And I was really looking forward to the four-day fun fest. This time--not so much. Thursday night to Blackhawk--that's something I'm looking forward to. I can wear jeans, I don't have to hang around and make small talk with a multitude of pretty people. Just the people I follow around all night long after I lose all my money. Not that those people aren't pretty people--it's just that the people who usually go Th night are the people more like me. Whatever that means. And MC is going Th night. I can follow him around all night and he won't care. In fact, he'll want me to follow him around. And he's so dang tall I can't lose him.
Friday night-- so-so. MC is also going to be there Fri night, so I have someone to attach myself to at a table if needed. And there's a bar. With reasonably priced liquor. And I have disposable cash. For liquor. From the bar.
But Sat night-- so so so don't want to go. Dress up. Sparkly people. Pretty people. Pretty people that are married. And people that ask "You never married?" Also-- nice dinner, so need to use table manners. Good thing about Sat night-- there's a bar. With unreasonably priced liquor. And I have some more disposable cash. My seester will be there Sat night for at least part of the night--so that will be good. I'll buy her some unreasonably priced liquor if she'll stay and make fun of people.
Sunday-- okay, Sun. will probably be okay. But I haven't worn shorts all summer and don't intend to wear them now. Don't want to be in the class picture. Don't really want to be in any pictures this time. That doesn't mean I won't be, I just don't want to be.
Feels like I'm in high school all over again.

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Yaya Toure has been named African player of the year for a record-equaling fourth time, matching the feat of former Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o.
The Ivory Coast and Manchester City midfielder also became the first player to win the award four times in a row. Toure was announced as Africa's top player for 2014 at a ceremony in Lagos on Thursday. He won the English Premier League title last year and was named in the league's team of the year.
The African award is decided by a vote of the coaches or technical directors of the continent's national teams.
Gabonese striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama were the other finalists.
Algeria won team of the year after establishing itself as Africa's top-ranked team in 2014.

Editorial: Storage plan for N-waste is one big boondoggle
Wed., May 21, 2014
The U.S. Department of Energy last week finally conceded the obvious: The United States has no plan for the permanent storage of spent fuel from the nation's 100 civilian nuclear generating plants.
The department had maintained the fiction there would be one despite a 2010 decision to abandon the proposed Yucca Mountain site in Nevada. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid insisted on blocking a repository in his home state. Meanwhile, the department was on the losing end of lawsuits filed by utilities demanding storage promised 30 years ago be made available so they could remove their waste material from vulnerable reactor sites.
And the customers of utilities receiving electricity from those plants, including the Columbia Generating Station at Hanford, continued to pay one-tenth of a cent per kilowatt-hour for a service they have never received and will not receive for the foreseeable future.
Those consumers are out of pocket for more than $42 billion: $30 billion-plus sitting in a fund reserved for nuclear storage and $12 billion spent at Yucca Mountain, which has been all but abandoned.
Gamblers on The Strip get more for their money.
Although the fee goes away as a result of the Energy Department's change of heart – welcome news for consumers – the decision leaves unaddressed the fundamental issues: Where will the waste go, and what will it cost to put it there?
The estimated prices for a repository start at around $100 billion, but if the effort to clean up the Hanford Nuclear Reservation is any indication, you can take that with a grain of plutonium.
That multibillion-dollar boondoggle is years behind schedule, must overcome a jumble of technical problems and remains just below critical mass for renewed state litigation. Gov. Jay Inslee says the Energy Department work plan is inadequate; Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz says the state plan ignores the technical challenges.
The Obama administration has requested $2.1 billion for Hanford in its 2016 budget. The Energy Department's on-site work group estimates $3.6 billion will be needed. With 4th Congressional District Rep. Richard "Doc" Hastings retiring at the end of the year, Hanford will lose a veteran and well-placed champion in the House of Representatives, which will make securing money for the cleanup more difficult.
The administration, in its effort to steer the nation away from dependence on fossil fuels, has also dedicated $8 billion in loan guarantees toward a proposed nuclear plant in Georgia, the first in the U.S. in more than 30 years. Northwest residents old enough to remember the Washington Public Power Supply System debacle of the 1980s will recognize the potential danger.
If the region learned anything from its nuclear energy experience, it's that there are no guarantees.

Do you live in your head or your heart? If you're not really sure, take a look at your life. Are you doing what you love? Is your life flowing effortlessly? Are you filled with joy, peace and content?
If you answered no to one or more of these questions, chances are you're living in your head. So how do you get out of your head and into your heart? The first step is to be aware. Are you Thinking or Feeling your way through things?
Do you have times where you think you should do one thing, but you feel you should do another? Which do you end up following? The Thought or the Feeling? If you're not quite ready to follow those feelings, there is something you can do about that. Begin to Journal when you get those "feelings". Just make note of them, and watch your results from following your thoughts. Are they what you expected? Did you get insight later that your "feelings" were on target?
Once you do this for a short time, you'll begin to notice how often your "feelings" are on the mark. It may surprise you how often you are on target.
Gradually, as you trust your feelings more, you can follow them more often. Before long, you'll find yourself more often in your Heart and out of your Head. And you'll also find yourself living a more joy-filled life too. Note: Did you sing the title like I did? The tune from Get Out of my Dreams ... Get into my Car. Or am I dating myself? LOL
Beautiful piece, as always, Bev.
As you're talking about thought vs. feeling, could that be similar to left brain vs. right brain?
I do both, and the older I get the more into the "feeling" side I fall. And I do think things are falling into place. It sure isn't easy, though.
You suggested making notes of feelings, the results, etc. I'm a manic journal-keeper from way back. Problem is, I never go back and re-read old journal entries. But I'm going to try to figure out a way to retrieve entries so I can actually learn from my note keeping!
Thanks for a thought-provoking post.

Simple Baked Brie
Oh joy; the joy that is to be had with this easy and fabulous recipe. I promise, you will impress people. Really.
Take a tube of those Crescents things. You know, the kind that comes in the tube? Then it thaws and you make little croissant-type things with it?
Just let it come to room temperature and roll out. Like this:
Then, cut the casing off of your brie. I do not like the casing of the brie although it is OK to eat. It's a texture thing for me.
Anyway, if you don't mind it, you can skip this step.
Then, in about the middle of your dough, spread out some preserves. I'm using apricot preserves here. Finally, pop your brie on top and 'wrap' it in the dough. Then bake for about 20 minutes. (full recipe is below)
Here's what you get when you're done!
I put sliced honeycrisp apples on top to just pretty it up a bit. Do you see the black smudge at the bottom? I broke off a corner so I could show you how important it is to really wrap the brie well; don't leave any holes or anything.
Yours truly did and the preserves leaked out and burned. But hey, it was still really delicious, I promise.
And, I just used a spreading knife and cut little corners and notches out and ate it.
Here's the recipe:
Prep Time 10 Minutes Cook Time 15 Minutes Difficulty Easy Serves 12
- 1 jar Apricot Preserves (or Favorite Preserve)
- 8 ounces, weight Crescent Roll Dough (1 Can)
- 6 ounces, weight Brie Cheese
Preheat oven according to crescent roll directions (usually 350-375°F).
On a baking sheet or baking stone, roll out the crescent dough to create one large piece, overlapping and gently crimping the sections together where needed.
Spread a thin (or not so thin, if you want to use more) layer of the preserves all over the dough.
Place the brie in the middle of the dough. (You don't have to remove the casing, but if you'd like to, go for it. You could just remove the top of the casing as well.)
Carefully wrap the brie with the dough, delicately crimping the edges to keep them in place.
Bake in the preheated oven according to crescent roll directions (about 15 minutes) or until crescent dough begins to brown.
When finished baking, transfer baked brie with a spatula to a serving dish.
Serve warm with fruit and/or crackers.
I got this recipe from one of my favorite cooking websites; Tasty Kitchen.
Here's the link to the original recipe posted by MissAmy. Be sure to tell her thank you if you make this!

Reading is one of the best activities which a mother can inculcate in her child.We recently got a lovely and a colorful kids' illustration storybook in our mail- BookyBoo kids book!
We got the BookyBoo kids book a week back, and my toddler is loving it, thanks to the introduction of bedtime stories to her.
Since my toddler is a little too young to read books, we have hopped on the lovely journey of reading out books to her and yes I ensure that I read out a story to her before we go off to sleep.It has become a night-time ritual for us.Reading opens a child's' mind to a new world altogether.Books can open up their thinking to a wide array of thoughts and it makes you visit so many places virtually.It improves vocabulary, diction, and pronunciation.
The Bookyboo kids book is a personalized book for your kid.The book is personalized according to a kids gender.We got a personalized book for Varanya from Bookyboo kids.The story of the book revolves around the central character of the book which is your kid.In our case it was Varanya.The story starts with Varanya discovering a letter one fine morning that her parents have been captured by the evil forces of EVILOR.As we move further into the story, she takes the help of various animals who help her in this quest of finding and rescuing her parents.Apart from the usual story, the book also helps the toddler in getting to know more about the animals mentioned in the book.When we are not talking about the story we learn about different animals, the sounds they make, their habitat and the different kinds of food they eat.
1.It is customizable according to one's own needs.This one was customized for us.It can be customized for one family with one or two kids and even single parents.
2.The book is full of lovely and eye capturing illustrations.Children are particularly fond of big and vibrant images and the Bookyboo kids does just that and manages to get kids hooked onto its beautiful pictures.
3.The book is made out of thick quality premium paper which does not tear off very easily.This is a great feature which I liked because you never know when a toddler or your kid might throw a tantrum on the book.The thick paper ensures the books are safe!
4.Bedtime ritual has become all the more fun with BookyBoo kids Book.
5.Early reading helps in increasing learning aptitude and also expands their vocabulary.
6.It helps in retention of information, improves interpersonal skills and in most cases helps instill the feeling of empathy towards a particular character or situation.
7.It helps a child to get acquainted by his/her name, and the corresponding spellings.
Like we said earlier, the BookyBoo Kids Book has made our bedtime ritual of reading even more interesting and fun.The panoramic illustrations in the book are also one of the other features which caught our attention as well.It also has some lovely messages which will inculcate the values of kindness and love among children.we will give it a 5/5.

Congratulations Dr. Masa Takakura!
This year, our founder and medical director, Dr. Masa Takakura will be featured in the Seattle Met's annual Top Doctors and Nurses of 2014.
Elated by this news, Dr. Masa hopes to continue to provide the best holistic and patient centered care. Dr. Masa could not have accomplished this by himself.

The science behind the 555 challenge.
So why the hell would you get up at 5am, run 5 kilometres and do this for 5 days in a row? ... I thought you'd never ask!
Why 5am?It's not rocket science. Getting up early allows you to get a head start on the world. You can have time to yourself to prepare for the day, get a head start on work, exercise, eat a healthy breakfast. All the things you normally "Don't have time for".
All the greatest achievers in the world are notorious early risers. Yep, think of the most inspiring famous person you know in the world and Google their morning ritual. Ali? Ghandi? Hitler? Jobs? Robbins? Winfry? Obama? Napolean? Branson? Gates? The Pope? The Queen? The Dali Lama?(The Dali Lama actually takes it to a whole new level.). Anyway, you get the picture. These figures got up really early. So - if you want to do something worthwhile with your life - change the dial on the alarm clock back a few hours.
Why 5k?A 5k run is the optimal distance to improve physical health from 0 - 10 really fast! If you just jump out of bed and start running a marathon or even a 10k run - how do you think you'd feel for next few days? Exactly. 5k on the other hand is a manageable distance. It gives you maximum benefits with little or no wear and tear on the body or joints. 5k is around 3 mile. So check out Google maps and find a road close to your house that's around 5k. Or do what I do - I found a road that's 2.5k and I run to the end and back.
Why 5 days?Repetition forms habit. And habit my friends is the key to winning or losing. Your bad habits like smoking, going to bed late, eating junk food, drinking too much - these will kill you. Your good habits - exercise, eating well, sleeping well, sharing and caring for others - these will lead to a long, happy and prosperous life. To get long term health benefits from exercise, your aim should never be to exercise for an upcoming wedding or holiday. When you really think about that - it's ridiculous.
Your aim should be to exercise every day for the rest of your life.
Ok, so why 5 days? Carrying out your 5k at 5am for 5 days will allow you to see what your missing. You'll see the benefits over a working week of more energy, more time and feeling great. 5 days is the minimum I'd suggest for you to see the full benefits of the challenge.
ConclusionWhen you combine the elements above to form the 555 challenge - you now have the ultimate recipe for physical and mental change and enhancement. The above is just the start. Doing the challenge leads to better sleep, the desire to eat better, increased energy and the list goes on. (Better skin, better sex drive, loose weight, smarter, more decisive, I could go on and on).
The main benefit for me is time. Time is my most precious commodity. Money, houses, cars - those can be replaced. My time on this earth is finite. The 555 ritual gives me more time in every day, more energy to do more things in that day. And I'll have more time on earth because I'll be healthier and live longer.
If you read this far - thank you. I appreciate that. Your gift is this sentence - "Get busy living or get busy dying." . Those are the only choices you have in life.
Thank you and please let me know if you try the challenge and the benefits you experience.

Yet another blog from me
Just for fun, and 'cause I apparently don't have enough to do, I've started
a little link blog
over on Bloglines to flag stories that amuse or amaze me. I'm always looking for things to write about, but sometimes I find something I'd like to share without adding more than, say, a snippy headline. If you also don't have enough to do, check it out. And for sure, take a look at those McDonald's commercials from Canada. Ha!

Next at Virunga party at Basing House https://www.facebook.com/events/823570567736501/
Liverpool born Jamie Haus has manifested his interest for music ever since his youth, when he would listen to bands like Beatles and Pink Floyd, teaching himself how to play the piano and guitar. So it was no surprise when the creative power within Jamie manifested itself through music, as he began exploring electronic music genres, eventually settling for techno, a genre that inspires him to experiment and search for the best ways to make it.
Production is a challenge which makes Jamie thrive, as he uses gear like a MIDI keyboard, Ableton Push and a Korg Kaos pad, always approaching different techniques as to push the boundaries of the genre, creating his dark, percussion driven techno with a flavor of dub and a solid bass line.
Inspiration comes through different mediums – artists like Ben Klock, Marcel Dettman, DNGLS, Markus Suckut and Sleeperarchive helped Jamie understand the essence of techno music, but it's not only music that serves as a muse. Visual art has always been a way for Jamie to find insight, guiding his creativity and helping him better translate the moods and messages of his music. The struggle of being a techno producer didn't hold Jamie back, as it served as a theme and motive for his latest EP, yet to be released.
Jamie's hard work and honest personality, as well as his passion for innovation and knowledge gained through all these years of being around music and understanding it as an art form have made him stand out as a promising artist with an original vision and a constant desire to improve and create something that stands out, as his music is like a creative space in which the listeners can recall their own stories and bring about new ones.
2015 brought a highly appreciated vinyl EP, "Meiose", released on the label FarFromNormal, along with plenty of gigs all around Europe in which Jamie got the chance to connect with different
audiences, experiment with the live elements of a set and play alongside artists he appreciates, yet another source of inspiration and excitement helping Jamie better define his sound and figure out the right path for his music. Incessantly working on upgrading his production skill, Jamie will surely surprise us with his future tracks, as well as inspire us with creativity and determination, as we're witnessing his
rise as an artist who has something to say and perseveres in finding the right way to transmit it, a forward thinking creator which strives to overcome his own limits, as well as those of the production process.

I recently bought 1 2gb DDR2 stick of ram to replace my old two 512mb sticks. I installed it and immediately had problems with my computer restarting at any time, despite my computer booting up and loading programs faster when it boots. My motherboard is a 775Dual-VSTA and is compatible with 2 gb DDR2 RAM.
I also had problems installing Fallout 3 - my computer would restart when it got to a certain point in the installation. The computer would also restart when I transferred big files in between hard drives. I thought it might have been the RAM slot I put the RAM in, so I switched it into the other slot, and instead of the computer restarting it would just freeze. When I moved big files again, the computer would freeze and the mouse wouldn't move, and the computer wouldn't recognize any keyboard inputs. This also happens periodically when I use firefox.
I was actually able to install Fallout 3 now, but the in-game video cutscenes are very choppy, and the game freezes 30 seconds into it. I am having the same problems I had on the desktop - no mouse or keyboard input at all.
My next step is to run memtest to see if the memory is faulty (which I doubt, it's brand new). I am thinking I don't have enough power, or the RAM is getting too hot.
I can post my dxdiag if necessary.

Head to Toe Circles x 5 minutes
Fighting Monkey Tennis Ball x 60 sec/change roles x 3 sets
Fighting Monkey Arm Circles x 3 minutes, OR: if you know what you are
doing, get at it. I want 3 sets of about 30 sec per/direction. If
possible, do second and third sets weighted. No more than 2.5 lbs at
this point.
5 arch scap pullings with a 3 second hold on each rep
The Flux Blend and Flux CrossFit
A. Every 3 minutes x 5 sets:
cleans x 3 reps
wall walks x 3 reps
NOTE: for the clean weight. This is not touch and go and you will not
have the immediacy of the last cycle where you were doing your cleans
every 30 sec. You should be using a heavier weight than last cycle for
the cleans. For instance, if you were around 95 lbs last cycle, you
should be at around 105-115 lbs
For Part B, C and D, everyone can start at different stations. The order is not important.
B. Skin the Cat
NOTE: If you recently achieved your first skin the cat, I want you to do 2-3 reps/set.
you are still working on the skin the cat, please do a cluster set just
like last time: 1.1.1 with 5 pull throughs each cluster set.
you want to make it more challenging you need to push for greater range
of motion. You can also raise the rings and start thinking about keeping
the arms straight as you pull into the position.
Rest 100 sec.
3 sets
C. AMRAP in 7 minutes:
Farmer Carries x 3 lengths 140 lbs (70/side)/220 lbs (110/side). Note: beginners should use KB or DB.
Atlas Stone Toss Over the Bar x 6 reps (choose one size) You will toss these onto the thick mat. If necessary, triple the mats up to absorb the weight.

Alternating Sandbag cleans x 12 reps 20/35 lbs
Monkey plant or Box Jump x 8
Flux Competition
A. OHS x 3 reps x 4 sets; rest 90 sec. Go up in weight with each set but avoid failure. From the rack.
B. Snatch Balance x 3 reps x 3 sets; rest 90 sec.
C. 2 snatch high pulls plus 1 snatch x 5 sets: go up in weight with each
set. Avoid Failure and keep at a weight that will reinforce the proper
bar position; rest 2 min
D. Do C and D from The Flux Blend and Flux CrossFit stream.

Mechanics gloves are typically thin, tough gloves designed to protect a mechanic's hands while still providing dexterity in use. Because of the nature of the work, mechanics gloves are susceptible to becoming stained with oil and grease from an engine. It is important to clean mechanics gloves that have oil in them, because not doing so will cause the fabric to stiffen, and maneuverability will lessen as the oil hardens in the fabric, making it harder to work with the gloves on.
Things You'll Need
- Heavy-duty detergent
- Hot water
- Bucket
Video of the Day
Put the gloves on, and place a generous amount of heavy-duty detergent on the gloves. Make sure the detergent is safe for use with bare skin.
Put your hands, with the gloves on, in hot water--as hot as you can stand, then proceed as if vigorously washing your hands. Make sure you really rub the detergent into the material of the gloves. Washing with the gloves on is the easiest way to ensure that all parts of the gloves have been covered with detergent.
Take the gloves off and leave them to soak in the hot water for about an hour.
Rinse the gloves thoroughly in clean water, then inspect for remaining oil stains. If there is more oil in the gloves, repeat the detergent washing process, and rinse them again until the oil is gone.
Leave the gloves to dry naturally in a shaded area--do not dry in a dryer, because the gloves will shrink and become unusable.

If this job has given me anything, it's opportunity (see ColumbiAdventures). The obvious opportunities are boring, so I'll focus in on one in particular. Because of my job, I was able to take a swim in both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans in the span of 10 days. Having spent the majority of my life in a landlocked state, this was quite the experience for me. Of course, I had been to both oceans before, but never within a week and a half of each other. With the experiences put so close together, I could make an accurate comparison of these two boundaries of the United States.
But first, I'd like to provide an account of my trip to the Atlantic Ocean. Since I'm spending a lot of this year in Maryland, I figured that I now have a chance to visit the Atlantic Ocean again. Actually, getting to the ocean is quite simple from where I was located. All you have to do is take MD-32E past the oddly conspicuous NSA, merge onto I-97S, get onto US-50E and stay on it. If your car becomes submerged in saltwater, you've gone too far. Oh, and make sure you've got money for the Bay Bridge toll. Luckily you only need to pay on the way out, and not the way back, which makes sense. Everyone wants to go to the beach, but no one wants to come back from it.
During this drive I came to the realization of relativity. I feel that the United States seems smaller when driving on the interstate system. Perhaps it's the increased speed or the greater number of populous areas connected by it, but it just feels like everything's closer together. Conversely, the US highway system makes the United States feel enormous. These back roads go through some really rural areas and the decreased speed limits make it seem like it takes forever getting somewhere.
So, after a 2.5 hour drive out to Ocean City, Maryland, I had arrived once again at the oceanfront. Unfortunately, as is the case with most all cities located directly on the beach, there are two problems:
- Limited and/or restricted parking.
- Obscenely tourist-y
When I got into town, I stopped by the Grand Hotel (I'm not sure if it's related to the Academy Award Winning Best Picture or not) used the restroom and picked up a cartoonish map of the area. I saw that there was some parking further north, so I got back in the car and drove a little further. As I had suspected, there was some free parking. The convention center in town apparently didn't have any conventions that day, so I parked my car at the edge of the lot closest to the beach.
By now it was lunch time, and I was getting hungry. Of course, I have found that if you tell anyone that you're going to be spending any amount of time in Maryland they demand that you eat some crab cakes. Fortunately, a block away from where I had parked, there was a seafood restaurant. I headed over and got my crab cakes. I'm not sure if it was coincidental, but apparently this particular seafood restaurant ("On the Beach") was one of the best in town. Lucky me. Now, I'm not particularly fond of seafood. Years of living in Colorado has given me a mantra that has given me a good excuse to not eat it often: "The further from the shore, the more time it has to go bad." Unfortunately, when you've found a restaurant that's 100 yards from the ocean, you can't use that excuse any more.
Luckily, the crab cake was acceptable and tasty, so I guess it also proves the mantra on the other side of the spectrum. They even had live crabs in a tank, so I can be sure that it at least had the illusion of being fresh. I'm glad that it was worth it, because the prices for the amount I received definitely emphasized that this was a tourist town. Something else that I have found almost exclusive to the East Coast is Birch Beer. It's similar to Root Beer, but the little difference in its taste makes it something that I get when I can. I've only been able to find it in cities close to the coast. I can't even find it in the city I'm staying in, if that gives you any idea on how coastal it is.
Now that I had my lunch, I was ready to hit the beach. Unfortunately, having just eaten, my stomach didn't feel like going swimming just yet. Fortunately, I had brought a book to read as I digested. The only issue I had with trying to read was that the wind was kind of like the quintessential beach bully. I'd be laying there on the towel I borrowed from the hotel, when the wind would pick up and kick sand in my face. Not cool, wind. Not cool. Eventually I felt that I was ready to hit the surf. I waded out into the ocean and did some body surfing for a while.
So, having now been in both oceans, here is my analysis . . .
Pacific: The Pacific Ocean is very coarse. The sand is rough and there are rocks everywhere. I didn't go body surfing in that ocean for that exact reason. Of course, with the beach being carved out from the surrounding cliffs of the coastal highway, I can see why there would be so many rocks. Temperature-wise, it was the colder of the two. This makes sense, since the rotation of the earth causes the water from the Polar Regions to circulate down across the West coast. Also, I'm not sure if it was because of the weather that day, but the ocean just seemed dark. I think that due to the season, and the temperature of the water, the lack of people at the Pacific Ocean was justified. I will give it this much: the Pacific was more photographic than the Atlantic.
Atlantic: Where the sand of the west is rough, the Atlantic Ocean had very soft sand. It's a fine grit that gets everywhere and is easily blown by the wind. Therefore, dunes are common. Not many rocks on the East coast, but instead there were plenty of seashells. Again, this may have been due to the weather that day (bright and sunny), but the Atlantic was definitely warmer. Of course, if the waters of the West coast are being fed by the Polar Regions, then conversely the East coast would be fed by the equatorial waters, so once again it makes sense. From the collection of my visits to both oceans, the Atlantic is definitely more popular. Both times I've visited; there have been a lot of people out on the beach.
After a call home ("Guess where I am?"), the weather started to get nasty, so I decided to get a gelato (key lime with vanilla frozen yogurt), pack up and invade Delaware. Delaware was one of those states that I had not visited yet, so when I saw it close by on the map, I decided to go and mark it off my list. Anyone who knows my family knows that each state has a particular song. At least each state that we merely cross the border, get out of the car and dance around. Delaware was no different for me (lyrics: "Delaware! Delaware! Dink-y, lit-tle, Delaware!").
The only regret that I had for my trip to Ocean City was that I didn't have arms that could reach the entirety of my back. After my last outdoor adventure (see iPoDC), I made it a point to put on sunscreen this time around. Unfortunately, parts of my back burned because I just can't reach them. Of course, I keep going to these "destinations", so having someone else to share the experience with would also be acceptable.

A very happy Family Day to all my Canadian friends!
Gotta love an official holiday that allows you to sit in you jammies all day.......as a 'family'....huh?
Yep that's exactly what I plan on doing today, maybe a little crafting (and laundry!) in there too, until we head out to an Anniversary celebration later this evening.
I was a little slack with my blogging last week.....only one post, so I have to get back on track starting today.
I'm catching up on a layout I should have posted a while ago, the final creation from a Two Scrapbook Friends DT Kit using the 'Happy Go Lucky' collection by Fancy Pants Designs (you can check out the first layout here).
This one showcases the (other) love of my life, our puppy Charlie on his first day home with us back in August 2013.
Isn't he cute?
He does however loose a little of his cuteness when he's hanging from the tattered remains of what used to be my living room curtains!!
For this page I focused the design around a fussy cut section of hexagonal patterned paper. I wanted a little doodling in there too, so I outlined the piece with a fine line marker.
There's a variety of embellies dotted here and there including one of those rather large light bulbs (Prima I believe but I could be wrong!)you can pick up from the 'bulk' box at Two Scrapbook Friends........I love this box.....an awesome little Aladdin's cave of embellies!
As you can see I stitched a few circles around it to add a little more definition.
Finally, to keep with the 'doodled' theme, I added some to the title by cutting the word 'Chillin' with my Cameo, then doodling by hand over top.
That's all for now so I'll be back again this week when I decide what's coming up next.
I've been having fun this week by getting messy, dabbling a little more in mixed media......variety is the spice of life they say so I guess you'll have to wait and see how that turned out!
Enjoy the rest of your day,
LRW - Be My Valentine

I was already back in KL on 10.12.12 and the very next day I picked up with my mum and aunts from KL to Midvalley. I would have come back on the 11th if I knew about the Selangot holiday earlier. Darn.
We went to UNIQLO.. Somehow my mum loves that store for I-DON'T-KNOW-WHY but as long as I tag along, why not? Heh..! Nice and huge Christmas decos around the Center Court. I always have the impression that Midvalley will put up ANYTHING and EVERYTHING HUGE for their celebration decos. Hmm..
Then.. The most epic story of the MONTH - My fuel was running low (while enjoying my bubble milk tea) when I drove out from my house early that morning and by mid noon, it was already blinking due to the jams and going round and round during the car park hunting. So I called my dad to clarify the mileage left before my car runs COMPLETELY OUT of fuel. He kinda forgot if it's 15/50 km but he was more paranoid then me after i told him "BUT I'M STUCK IN A JAM NOW". LOL!
10mins later i fueled up and decided to prank him..
"Daddy! Car broke down!"
LOLOLOL! Darn funny!!! Basically that's it for day 11th. Hehe. Oh! And I finally got the attention from people to notice my car. The trick is..... Keep the shits all around the car. People will definitely look in AWE.

New Cash, New You
The New Year brings notions of new beginnings. New Year Resolutions flood the timelines on social media and takes over conversations worldwide. The promise of a new era, a second chance or a "do over" excites the masses and often motivates people to tackle a certain goal or goals. According to a recent newscast on the most common New Year resolutions, "spending less money or saving more" is among the top 5 (www.abc7.com). It may be commonly said but how often is this goal reached? In fact, the same data showing the most common resolutions also shows the gross lack of follow-through. Why not make this year different? Proper preparation for achieving financial goals can almost assure success. Creating a strategy is the key to unlocking your financial dreams. A career in financial assistance has inspired me to design a simple plan for saving, called C.A.S.H. Calculating, applying, saving, then helping the next person is a roadmap for any financial goal.
Don't be afraid to calculate what money you need to save for your specific goal. It can be a very specific ambition such as saving $3000 for a vacation or as broad as saving $500k for retirement. It can be as aggressive as trying to invest or as simple as wanting to start an emergency fund account. The goal to simply start saving only requires one calculation, finding out the amount you should save each month. Look at your net salary or wages per pay period. Take the amount and multiply that by 10% and the total is what you can use to save each period. For example, John D sees that he takes home $1000 per check. He multiplies 1000 X 0.10 and that equals $100. John D will put $100 into savings each pay period. Financial analysts agree that individuals should save between ten and twenty percent of their net income. You can adjust the percentage to whichever amount you're comfortable with.
After settling on the percentage amount, make mental and physical notes it. John D has figured he would stick to the 10% and writes down $100 in his checkbook. He also tells his spouse about his new goal; unofficially asking her to be his accountability partner. Once the amount has been solidified in writing, you should the decide on a time period to track your progress. After the time period lapses, check your savings and be amazed at the amount you accumulate in a short period of time. John and his wife decide that he should try this percentage for at least 90 days.
You have calculated how much to save and how long to save it for progress, now it's time to put the plan to action. Next, you should decide on where to place the savings. You can open a savings account, put into a safe deposit box, or hide it away in a secret stash. As you get started, make sure you pay into your savings plan first. We often worry about paying other bills with the funds if the money isn't stored away first. Treat your savings plan as if it were another utility bill and don't forget to track your progress. John D gets paid bi-weekly which caused him to save $200 in 30 days and $600 in just 90 days! This motivates him to stay with the plan and solidifies his new quest to save.
Now that you have conquered the art of saving, it's time to share the information with your friends and family. Share your successes and struggles (if you have any) with them. Matthew 5:16 states, "In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. (KJV)
John D's success energizes his spouse to start saving. They also implement a new family tradition and teach their children the C.A.S.H. plan when they get their first jobs. The plan can start with one person and actually strengthen the financial health of the entire family.
If "saving more money" has become a struggle; try something new this New Year. Adopt the C.A.S.H. plan and use it to enhance the new YOU!

French Anniversary Celebration on July 14, 1790 (Undated Engraving)
Depictions of the events in France helped reinforce revolutionary sympathies among the citizens of other European countries. This engraving by the German artist Paul Jakob Laminit (1773-1831) shows an immense crowd gathered on the Champs de Mars to celebrate the first anniversary of the storming of the Bastille. To mark the ceremony, Duke Charles Maurice de Talleyrand (1754-1838), the Bishop of Autun and later foreign minister, solemnly read mass, after which the commander of the revolutionary troops, Marquis Marie Joseph Motier La Fayette (1757-1834), stepped to the altar and swore an oath of allegiance on behalf of the multitude. After the French won victories in Germany, many of the occupied German principalities, such as Speyer and Mainz, became "republics" and celebrated similar, albeit smaller festivities around "liberty poles" erected by pro-revolutionary Jacobin clubs.

The epic halow250 came to a climatic end today as the 110 cyclists rode into Guildford to complete the final leg of their 250 mile challenge.
Our riders were up and about early this morning as the ferry arrived in Portsmouth at 6.45am. After breakfast on the ferry they cycled the new route towards The Sustainability Centre for the first rallying point with refreshments at the 16 mile marker.
The first official support stop was at The Seven Sisters car park at mile 23 at around 10.30am. The weather was still cold and wet making the third day of cycling through constant rain even tougher for our brave team.
By 12.30pm the advance group were gathered at the Young's pub the White Hart, Witley a chance to relax, socialise and and grab something to eat, safe in the knowledge that the hard work was over. This stop allowed all of the cyclists to gather together before cycling to finish as one large peloton. There was a little delay to the final home coming as some of the group had got behind but all were determined to ride in together. Having rounded up the whole team they headed in towards the rugby club and the sun finally came out!
Around 200 family, friends, halow young people, staff and volunteers gathered to cheer the halow250 cyclists into the Guildford Rugby Club. It was an emotional home coming for riders having completed the gruelling challenge in awful weather conditions. Cheers and applause filled the air as riders came to a standstill surrounded by their loved ones. Riders received a welcome glass of Prosecco and their medals from halow young people.
George Willis and Mark Foxwell of GM Recruitment & 2boats congratulated the riders and presented a cheque to halow Chairman, Martin Day, for a total of £76,526 for the halow project. Martin thanked all those who took part and helped to organise the ride saying, "That is an incredible total, raised by an incredible group of people for a brilliant cause!"
halow would like to thank all our halow250 sponsors Young's and GMR Recruitment for their hard work and financial support. Thank you to Sandown Mercedes-Benz, Wandle Cycle Works, 2Boats and everyone who supported the ride and ensured the riders were safe, comfortable and motivated. An enormous thank you to all the cyclists who worked hard in training, getting sponsorship & riding 250 miles, all for halow.
You can still make a donation to the halow250 campaign and be part of this amazing adventure to support young people with a learning disability.

Advantage - area tennis players.
The sport of tennis seems to be resurging amongst a flurry of support for infrastructure in the area. The City of Milton is set to complete the reconstruction and upgrading of their tennis complex on Byrom Street.
Now, the Pace Area Tennis Association is plucking the strings of its "racket," in anticipation of a new tennis complex in the works near Benny Russell Park. The non-profit organization has been planning the project, working with county commissioners for six years in the developing project.
"I'd like to call it an academy of tennis," said PATA President Laura King. "It'll be the only one of its kind in the Southeast."
She says the tennis academy is intended to be a training facility, primarily for children learning the sport.
Plans for the facility include eight full-size courts and several miniature versions for children, known as "QuickStart" courts. The size of the "QuickStart" courts and the rackets are smaller and more proportional to children learning the game, according to King. In the early stages, they utilize foam balls which bounce lower, allowing trainers to focus on teaching proper form and technique. As children progress, they transition to full-size courts.
"The goal that I'm working on with the United States Tennis Association (USTA) is to offer the facility for national tournaments," King said. "I want kids to become competitive in the sport."
The USTA sponsors tournaments in all levels of play, from the professional level to the eight-year-old playing field. King says that teaching children at a young age will give them an chance to be more competitive at the middle and high school levels, where there are scholarship opportunities at stake.
Adults in the area will not be left on the sidelines, as King says there are plans for coaching at all levels of the game.
"We've got a bunch of good ideas," King said. "We just don't have the facility."
The organization has been playing and training children, using two tennis courts built for the organization in the Santa Rosa Sports Complex located off Chumuckla Highway. King says that future expansion is limited at the complex, because of surrounding football and baseball parks.
While there are other tennis clubs in the area, and available courts in the area, King said there is little flexibility in their training programs. The other programs typically offer one rigid format, according to King. She said there is little flexibility in the one-size-fits-all .
"There's a large number of people in Pace and Milton, they have to drive over to Pensacola and Gulf Breeze," King said. "With the USTA, there's a bigger need to have a bigger facility to train kids."
For the past six years, PATA has been working with Commissioner Don Salter on possible expansion of its tennis facilities.
The Board has committed $500,000 to fund the project, according to Salter. Commissioner Salter and Commissioner Jim Williamson will split the cost between their districts, using recreational funds to cover expenses. PATA is expected to apply for additional grant funding to strengthen financial support of their project.
The Board approved a request for proposal last week, seeking an architect to begin the first step of designing the facility.
"We don't have a date," Salter said, referring to the planned construction date."
"We were fortunate, eight years ago, we were able to acquire an additional 25 acres at a very nice reduced cost for additional recreation complex," Salter said. "The owner of the property donated 12.5 acres to the county. The county actually purchased 12.5 acres."
Salter said when he was first approached with the idea of a tennis facility he was skeptical.
"Back in 2007, when the PATA group met with me, I questioned the number of people that would actually use the tennis courts," Salter said. "As we progressed with the tennis courts, I was amazed at the number of young kids playing."
Salter said he has seen a rise in interest in alternative sports over the past few years, mentioning the advent of soccer in the county and now the uptake of tennis.
"I was reminded that not all kids play football, baseball and basketball," Salter said, while working on this project. "Actually, I partnered with the town of Jay and I was able to get them recreation funds to help Jay and the high school. That turned out to be a very good project. Even in a small town of Jay."

As some of my dear readers might have noticed, my update-frequency has become a bit erratic, but this is (honestly) down to a distinct rise in project-related work in the workshop.
So here comes a little overview, which I actually wanted to post yesterday, of what I am working on at the moment
1) The turbo TR1. I have been waiting for 3 "§=$)§$=)( weeks for the last missing parts, namely the VM44-carb in order to fire it up, yet still lots of small niggly stuff to do, but unfortunately of the kind that does not warrant a blog entry.
2) The everyday TR1. Fixing up stripped threads and thousands of small bits, e.g. like fitting new fork gaiters, new tyres, general maintenance, etc...
3) Ms. Braaaap my XT500. Resurrected from the dead (update tomorrow) and found lots of things that needed my attention
4) The XS400 to 450 to 500 project. I am building a GENUINE 450cc XS400 engine that can be bored to close to 500cc, once it has proven it's worthy of a set of new pistons. This project has progressed quite far, but I really, really have to go through not literally, but actually hundreds of photos.
5) Andi's XV750 cafe racer. The bike of which you've seen the fork swap earlier now gets a full make over and it's going to be bitchin' awesome.
6) Doing work on my dad's XT500 (4-valve), which he picked up very cheap and is his supposed to be his new grocery-getter for the elusive pack of frozen peas. But there was a reason, why it was as cheap as it was, but we're getting there.
