Everyone in Scoil Mhuire is very proud of Christopher Wall (8) in first class. Chris recently travelled to the New National Arena in Blanchardstown, Dublin to compete in the national qualifiers in Trampoline Discipline. Over 180 gymnasts from all over the country took part. Chris won a gold medal in the NDP1 8 - 10 group with a fantastic score of 55,300. Chris also scored the top score in the NDP1 section which included 71 gymnasts regardless of age. Well done Chris !
Yesterday afternoon our first class went on a trip to the church to see Saint Brigid's tapestry with Ms. Cranny and Ms Kane. We walked to the church with our teachers in the sun shine. I saw a burst football. Then we looked at the tapestry. We learned about the panels and talked about our favourite parts. Then we sang our song to Brigid. After we did private prayers. I said a prayer for my Nana and Grandad. Then we walked back to school. On the way back to school, I talked with Tommy. I enjoyed our trip to the church. I liked learning about the different panels....
We had lots of fun performing our Christmas play today. It was Jesus' Christmas Party by Nicholas Allan. We sang songs in Irish and English and recited a lovely poem by Robert Foster. Thank you to all the parents, aunties and grannies who came to cheer us on. Have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!
We have been learning about 3D shapes. Some 3d shapes are cuboids, spheres, cubes, pyramids, prisms, cylinders and cones. We counted faces, sides and corners on these shapes. We learned that 3D shapes are made from 2D shapes. We made some 3D shapes out of marshmallows and cocktail sticks. We could not make spheres, cones and cylinders. Can you figure out why?...

My partner and I escaped Auckland over Waitangi weekend. We started off bright and early. By mid morning we arrived at the beautiful little coastal town of Onemana. Stretching our legs we wandered the beach, admiring the crystal clear waters. Jumping back in the car we made our way back up the main road and after a few k's we turned off into the forest. We followed the gravel road for what felt like forever before reaching a tiny car park. Armed with towels and a picnic we hiked down through the pine trees to the beach.
The hike was worth it.

The goal of Log-Book is to create entering car mileage as simple and quick as possible but still be compliant with the tax departments' requirements. Once you have used Log Book a few times you will be able to enter a new trip in THREE taps (and that's including the tap to save it).
* Check out LogBook Multi if you need to track more than one car.
We use this app and apart from trying to fix how to stop us forgetting to do it we wanted to make the process as quick as possible because lets face it, everyone wants to spend as little time as possible doing things like this, regardless of how pretty or feature rich the app is.
To speed up a trip entry you can add your own common start, destination and purpose entries. The date and start odometer are entered automatically.
There are no pretty graphs, fancy reports or a multitude of settings, just simple entry.
All entries can be exported to a CSV file for manipulation (graphs and wiz-bang formulas) in a spreadsheet.
Features details:
- Add entries for each trip including distance, places, reasons and general notes.
- 3 tap new entries
- Include start and end times, if required
- Export to CSV
- PDF by month, last month, last 3 months, last year, or all
- Email CSV and PDF
- Popup monthly summaries


text: I was wondering whether Home Cinema Choice magazine will do a review of this new projector from Panasonic. Apparently it has a very quiet fan 29db or below. I am thinking of buying one and with a budget of around £3k. Any suggestions, I am converting a large garage into a cinema so need something with a fairly bright picture.

unframes the shore

the wind teaches
unframes the shore
20 comments:
The more I try to reason with this, the more it slips away. It is not reason that gives me, or defines, this experience. The feeling I had in the rain this morning was that it brought me the ocean. That was the beginning (or was it the end?). The beginning of this meditation. I am in the ocean, the ocean is in me. The ocean is framed by the shore, the ocean frames the shore. The air frames all of us, all being, and we frame it. What is frame and what is object?ReplyDelete
This was prompted out of Roger's beautiful, simple, intricate efforts to create art out of the earth's stores, on the earth, in water. I honor him, though my effort is just so small.
Inside, outside the frame... one and the same... and all frames are porous.ReplyDelete
I think you may have just helped me pinpoint why I love the Dutch weather so much, Ruth! Wind and rain course through my veins all year 'round....ReplyDelete
Being and Artfulness.ReplyDelete
I'm so happy to read this poem, Ruth, and your comment about the evanescence and - as Robert states, porosity - of the boundaries that exist between the seemingly concrete frames of our world. Boundaries that, in the end, really only exist in our mind's eye.ReplyDeleteReplies
Amanda, thank you for responding, you who know how long stone lasts ... and yet, and yet.Delete
Your word "unframe" captures my imagination. I checked it out. Wow! The wind teaches us to (?) take down, break apart, destroy our frameworks. Indeed, extreme winds do just this. Thoroughly. And more, such winds come with more than ample rain, water raised from the ocean.
In the end methinks that you are asking us to feel the water. To allow ourselves to be washed. To let our structures and boundaries be dissolved.
Thank you, Ruthie, for this opportunity to let my imagination run a bit.
Nelson, you did check it out! Beyond what came to me in meditation of the spirit. Thank you.Delete
who would think of raindrops as having frames/boundaries? "The air frames all of us" you write, "and we frame it." So true. But those drops, that water, framed until they blend together, pooling on your face, the ground, wherever, become an ocean, water without boundaries…as perhaps we all would, if we would loose/lose our boundaries of Self and Other and become as one with the world.ReplyDelete
Thank you for this. It is beautiful.
- AnonymousNovember 9, 2013 at 4:55 PM
The wind keeps teaching, that's the point, if we keep listening ... and writing what we hear down.ReplyDelete
How beautifully descriptive this is!ReplyDelete
Quelle délicieuse et délicate surprise, Ruth, que ce poème. Il me touche beaucoup et je le publierai sur mon blog prochainement.ReplyDelete
Je vous embrasse bien amicalement.
Votre poème est présenté dès aujourd'hui sur mon blog LE CHEMIN DES GRANDS JARDIN . Mille fois merci pour ce très beau cadeau.ReplyDelete

Efforts to Stamp Out Spam Face Problem of Definitions
Senators want to ban it. Internet-service providers want to keep it from clogging up their networks. And consumers just want it out of their e-mail boxes.
"It" is spam, or unsolicited commercial e-mail, and by many accounts it's spiraling out of control.
But while nearly everyone agrees spam is a nuisance, one thing they don't agree...

Busy Day = Easy Food
Some days are just too busy to create a masterpiece in the kitchen. Today was one of those days. Although I wanted to just kick back and order pizza, I still mustered up enough energy to make myself a nice, and easy dinner. Usually on nights like this, I just boil up some pasta, melt a little EB on it and call it dinner, but I wasn't in the mood for that. So as I tried to think of things I liked together, and stared into my pantry, I came up with this.
Out of my pantry (and fridge) I took:
1 13.5oz can of coconut milk
1 15oz can of peas
1/4 cup of cashews
1 cup of brown rice
1 tbsp yellow curry powder
1 cup of water
1/4 of a log of Lachesis Seitan'O'Greatness (sliced into strips)
a pinch of salt
a dash of pepper
Then I threw it all in a nice big skillet, let it simmer until most of the moisture was absorbed and the rice was tender and called it done. There's even enough leftover to take to work tomorrow for lunch.
Other things I ate today: Coffee, a zucchini mushroom burger on a bun with vegenaise for breakfast, a scarborough fair burger on a bun with vegenaise for lunch and above recipe for dinner.

We are on the hunt to find Brisbane's Worst Kitchen!
Although we have found our five finalists we need your help to select our People's Choice winners from the five.
Introducing – Karen of Woodridge
Karen is the proud owner of this lovely townhouse. Nestled within a larger complex it has served her well over the years. She has purchased and looked after the property on her wage alone and is looking for all the help she can get to ensure the security of her nest egg for both her and her family's future.
Having a close family has certainly helped over the years as her two sons have assisted Karen to update the house bit by bit. A new deck and patio roof have been installed, along with the floors and a few splashes of paint. But the heart of the home has seen better days.
Since buying the property in 2003, Karen has seen to it that the house has been well looked after, unfortunately love can only go so far and the kitchen is starting to show the effects of countless family meals being prepared in a rather small space. It would be a dream come true if Karen was able to breathe some new light into the kitchen and allow the home to come into its full potential.
Some of Karen's wishes for the space include; -To make the space more user friendly and durable
– Replace the cabinets and draws that are missing and falling apart with age
– Replace the stove and have a proper range hood installed, as you can imagine in a small property such as this, any fumes engulf the whole house very quickly without proper air extraction.
– Update the look of the kitchen
– Have a pantry within the kitchen
– Co-ordinate the adjacent cupboards and laundry (nestled opposite the dining table) to create a better flowing more usable family space

I've just had a peek at a few of your earlier posts. Your craft cupboard looks amazing - especially with the cat in there - lol.

Creeper Alert!
Now this dude is a true creeper. He goes by the name, Erik Brandon Ross, and he used to coach girls basketball at Franklin High School, that was until the police found out what he was doing. As it turns out this 43 year old man was doing a 16 year old girl from another team.
Now under arrest they are charging him with four counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor and a whooping eight counts of oral copulation with a minor.
Ross allegedly met the girl while coaching a girls AAU team last summer and exchanged phone numbers with her. Then in December of last year, Ross lured her to a motel in Glendale, gave her some grown folks drank, and engaged her sexually. The triv part of all this is that he is married with two kids himself.

The Greatest Guide To Law of Attraction

It really is our superconscious mind that holds the blueprint or script for all that We have now established out to obtain inside our current life time.
Ego defense mechanisms Much like Your entire body has got its defenses towards physical wounds and accidents your subconscious mind has got its defenses against emotional shocks and wounds.
All these 'unconscious' programs are of good reward usually because they immediately aid us to carry out our life, leaving our acutely aware mind totally free to discover new thoughts. Sad to say there are numerous 'unconscious' or a knockout post 'subconscious' programs that are not useful to us and they could strongly operate against us.

$400,000 Demand for Dog Show Sequel
MONTREAL (CN) – The author of the book-turned-TV series "Dogs With Jobs" claims in court that a production company ripped off her idea to make a copycat show called "Animals at Work."
Check out Courthouse News' Entertainment Law Digest.
Merrily Weisbord sued Cineflix Media and affiliates, and its president and founder Glen Salzman, in Superior Court.
Weisbord claims that Salzman created alter ego Les Productions Cineflix to produce the knockoff show.
"Dogs with Jobs" ran for five seasons in 57 countries and featured dogs in various work roles. The last season was produced in 2003-2004.
Weisbord claims the knockoff show title merely swapped "Dogs" for "Animals" and "Jobs" for "Work," and the similarity didn't end there: "a preliminary review shows that at least 15 of the dogs presented in the new show were also presented in the series 'Dogs With Jobs' and that the structure of the shows is very similar," according to the complaint.
"This new series is clearly a sequel and a re-make based on the format developed by plaintiff," the complaint states. "This is illustrated by the fact that the series uses an important amount of footage from the original series 'Dogs with Jobs.'"
The new show is, in fact, a sequel to the original one, Weisbord says. She claims the defendants owe her at least $400,000 for "Animals at Work," which also is known as "Frisky Business."
She is represented by Grey Casgrain.

The Key Elements of Great Systems
Important Considerations for Setting up a Contact Center System As your small company expands, the capability to protect gains made so far is contingent upon your ability to consistently meet customer requirements. And when your customer-base expands to a certain level, it may become important to set up contact center solutions that enable you to respond to customer concerns in a timely fashion to protect your image and business. Here are tips for choosing an appropriate call center system to satisfy the customer care requirements of your small company: VoIP Phones You'll have to purchase VoIP phones, whether or not you're deploying the most of your call center equipment in the cloud. The IP phone sets will play a big role in the making of calls through the internet and not conventional phone networks. The cost of your call center calls will come down significantly.
What Has Changed Recently With Options?
A Cloud System vs In-Premise Deployment
Overwhelmed by the Complexity of Options? This May Help
The question of whether to deploy your call center systems in the cloud or onsite must be answered ahead of time. Of course, your budget will have a bigger role to play in this decision. But if you have a small budget, hosting the system in the cloud would be great. That being the case, you may only have to purchase the VoIP phones, with your cloud VoIP company taking care of the other infrastructure. Cost Implications of Geographical Location A lot of small companies are extremely mindful of the geographical site where they opt to deploy their contact center. The reason is that the site may impact on long-term costs for running a contact center. Since your customers do not have to know where they're being served from, you can deploy your contact center anywhere operational costs are reasonably low, including costs of paying your support staff. Necessary Functions There are basic functions, like personnel management system and call recording, that any call center system must have. Yet, it helps to create a list of features that despite not being so apparent or common, are nonetheless important to the functions of your company and contact center. For instance, you may want your call center solution to easily and flawlessly integrate with any business solutions your may already be utilizing or planning on incorporating in the foreseeable future. Does your business use a shopping cart, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), or Management Information System (MIS)? Integrating all these systems will help enhance the efficiency and productivity of your call center staff. The possibility of incorporating social networking platforms may also be nice to evaluate. Contact center solutions can enable your business to better handle customer issues immediately they're raised. As such, it's important to select a system that will address your demands and functions to continue pleasing customers.

Eviction has a name. It's Debra Thompson.
And Thompson is just like so many of us in these perilous economic times. She works. Yet, she is not a bank, so nobody wants to merge with her and take over her debt. She is not a mortgage company, so nobody is courting her with bailouts or rescue plans.
Let me tell you what she got. It was brought right to her front door.
"Order to vacate," it said. A legal paper signed by a judge. "Failure to pay rent" is the reason. More than $1,500 in back rent is owed.
Digital Access for only $0.99
For the most comprehensive local coverage, subscribe today.
Her landlord is not a villain.
"My landlord has been very kind," Thompson said. "And patient."
Thompson is not alone. Since Oct. 1, York County sheriff's deputies have served at least eight people with legal papers that mean all must get out. That is just one short of all the people who were evicted in the past two months combined. It's a pace that, if kept up, would more than double any other month this year.
The streets are mean right now. It's the age of just plain being broke.
In the wee hours Friday morning, the Rev. Ronal King got calls from police about three women, ages 18, 19 and 20, living in cars. For 30-plus years, King has run Feed the Hungry Ministry. But he is more: King is the last call of the helpless. King fed the women at Waffle House and paid for them to stay in a motel.
"These are young women. They need to clean their bodies," King said. "It is bad out there, brother -- $700 billion bailouts don't reach people like this. These people had jobs. One still has a job but no place to live."
Thompson's life is one of work. She is divorced, 39 years old, with three older children and a baby just 3 months old. She worked for years in a clerical job in Columbia, making about $19,000 a year. That's maybe 15 grand after taxes. She got $600 a month in child support for the older kids.
She moved to Rock Hill to get a fresh start. An apartment for $750 a month.
"I drove to Columbia five days a week to keep that job," she said. "I was like so many people, living paycheck to paycheck."
Then there was no more paycheck.
She went on maternity leave, the baby needed around-the-clock care after seizures and other medical problems, so Thompson couldn't go back to work. Her car was repossessed. She had to get food stamps to feed her children at night. She signed up her children for free lunch at school. A niece who attends Winthrop University helped by watching the baby so Thompson could look for work.
The electricity was ready to be cut off. Thompson got help from a United Way referral to an agency that kept the water running and lights on. She went to several charities and agencies looking for help. The rent piled up like a snowdrift.
Family could not help. Her father and mother are both living but don't work for health reasons. A sister used to help, but no more.
"Foreclosure," Thompson said. "She's in the same boat as me."
Thompson found work through a staffing agency. During the past two weeks, she worked two data entry jobs. The first from 8 a.m. to noon, the second from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. She made money.
But not enough to dent the rent.
Friday was the last day of the morning job. Next week, she will have a little less to take home. If she has a home. Because the next paper delivered to her door will probably come from a deputy.
She will get enough time to get the baby bassinet and her few other possessions into the street. Her kids will go out, too. Then the locks will be chained on the doors.
Debra Thompson, who has a job, will stand in the parking lot of the apartment complex with her four children.
All will be homeless.

By means of superb step-by-step photos and detailed diagrams, Jean-Luc Pallas explains in simple terms the operation of a diesel engine, and shows how to maintain it, as well as repair it should it break down.
He explains: the different engine parts and their function, how the engine propels the boat, simple maintenance tasks to keep the engine in good working order, typical problem areas which can lead to breakdown, troubleshooting tables that enable you to diagnose and fix an engine problem, how to efficiently winterize your engine.
This book is an invaluable on-the-spot reference for when things go wrong—don't go to sea without it!
Jean-Luc Pallas is Professor of Recreational Marine Mechanics at La Rochelle Technical College and has always had a passion for boats and the sea. He has raced open ocean Formula 28s, fine-tuned the engines of open 60s and repaired the engines of a vast array of everyday cruising boats. His enthusiasm for passing on his knowledge in the clearest possible way is paramount in this ground-breaking work.

This picture should have been second because it was the last taken. His Dad is holding him .His little head is not even large enought o fill up Dad's hand. But look, He has no O2 now. Just a small feeding tube. They are now giving him a couple of bottles a day in addition to the feeding tube and will be increasing the bottles as he gets strong enough to nurse more.
Baby Noah has been through so much but he is such a fighter....Just look a those bright eyes.

Not much has changed since last year. The number taking the test, according to registrations, increased again, although not as much as last year. So sorry doomsayers, the demographic collapse for Japan's HE system hasn't happened yet. It's important to remember that there is probably enough students withholding their university admissions in any given year to fill one year's worth of admissions. That is because these young people are studying for one, two and even more years to try and get into a top-ranked university and/or program.

If you have never been to New England, you should probably start making plans now. This area of the country is absolutely stunning; nearly every road is picturesque, even in the middle of summer. My favorite time of year is--hands down--autumn. There really is nothing like a New England autumn. The first time I ever visited Chris was in October a couple of years ago. I could not get over how beautiful it was! I would advise avoiding New England in the winter unless you really like snow. And I mean, really really like snow.
We wandered to the cutest little park in the middle of the Winnipesaukee River for this photo session. As much as I'm not that attracted to retro style, something about high-waisted shorts works for me. A tied sleeveless blouse kind of takes it up another notch, doesn't it? Also, I'm so glad I bought this shirt. It's so perfect for sweltering heat. (This day was the hottest day of our vacation. We took major advantage of the pool later in the afternoon!)

In today's post we present a slideshow of archival photos of "Indian Minis", which was in the regular repertory of Marta Renzi & the Project Co. for many years. It was first performed by me and Peter Stathas in 1983 at Dance Theater Workshop, accompanied by a reading of the poem by Daniel Wolff (below), heard on tape spoken first by a man and then by a woman.
Over a decade it was performed by many different couples: on quilts laid on the sand at Art on the Beach, Battery Park; at the Joyce Theater, in Munich at the Theater im Marstall in Munich, on the Inside/Out stage at Jacob's Pillow. In 1991 there was a memorable version with two couples - Marta Miller with Tom Grunewald and Marta Renzi with Robert Sorrentino - splash-dancing through the two fountains at Union Station, Washington D.C.
One of my favorite performances of Indian Miniatures was the one in the slideshow above, danced by Matthew Cazier and Marta Miller. That hot summer day in 1987, with the backdrop of hazy Hudson overlooks at Wave Hill, the only accompaniment was the droning of bees and the occasional airplane overhead. For this online version, the music is by Steve Elson. The photos were taken, and transformed, by Robert Flynt.
We lie in a room still soaking wet
Half on the Asian craze of a carpet
And half on the dark, discarded pallet
Of our own American clothes.
A moment ago these walls were crimson
The shade blood takes when it mixes with air.
We were holding them there by moving together.
We were keeping the world a wall away.
Then just when we thought we could make it last
When our movements began to feel final and fixed
The view out the window shuddered, trembled
and came crashing slowly in.
Now, as the world roars through this room
And our blood sinks back into pale blue veins
We roll off each other and the ceiling comes up.
It's as white and untouched as a page.
Daniel Wolff

RESIDENTS in South Tyneside are being warned not to count their chickens when its comes to their health - after scores of residents took ill from food poisioning in the past year
Over the last 12 months, more than 100 residents in the borough have been confirmed as suffering from Campylobacter - a germ mostly found on raw chicken.
Now the council is is encouraging people to join the Chicken Challenge and help to prevent food poisoning across the Borough as part of National Food Safety Week next week.
The council's Environmental Health Team is offering advice, such as bagging and storing raw chicken separately from other food and checking the meat is cooked properly.
Councillor Tracey Dixon, Lead Member for Area Management and Community Safety at South Tyneside Council, said: "National Food Safety Week is an ideal opportunity to highlight the importance of good food safety to businesses and residents and promoting some key food hygiene messages to help keep people safe and healthy.
"We live in a society of chicken eaters. It's healthy and versatile and brings families together for a Sunday launch or sunny afternoons around the barbecue. Unfortunately, chicken which has not been properly prepared, stored or cooked can cause food poisoning.
"We're helping people to learn how they can prevent the spread of germs and reduce the risk of falling poorly by encouraging them to take up the Chicken Challenge set by the Food Standards Agency in handling food. It's really easy to do and will go a long way to helping to make South Tyneside a happier and healthier place to live."
Campylobacter is the most common cause of food poisoning in the UK. It is not visible nor has a smell or taste, but its affect can be very unpleasant and, at its worst, fatal.

Now that I've put it down and truly made this my goal, I can't seem to win anything 😦
This past week I haven't managed to win anything – unless the check is in the mail. And I've been entering every contest I could find. I entered a bunch of stuff on FabulousFunFinds, some contests through Mamaista, the #TapandTake Samsung camera contest, a westinghouse #greenvue tv, and some other twitter, blog and facebook contests.
Today I did get 4 free movie tickets from Fandango and US Cellular. My mom told me about the promotion and my husband was nice enough to stop by the local US Cellular store to pick up one of the promotion codes for our free tickets. Since we aren't going out much anymore, this will make for a great "date night" when we can actually get away from the kids for an evening out. I think this promotion was only good for today, but there might be some stores who still have codes.
I'm also entering today for a chance to win a Stokke TRIPP TRAPP highchair from Mom Central. This could be a great gift for our baby. Of course, I'm sure my daughter will want to sit in it too, so maybe they can share.

Uncle, unlocked
Right: Don V. Becker, January 7, 1913 - December 27, 2006
Left: Richard Q. Becker (my dad), March 10, 1917 - December 19, 1985
At the last, tenderly,
From the walls of the powerful, fortress'd house,
From the clasp of the knitted locks--from the keep of the well-closed doors,
Let me be wafted.
Let me glide noiselessly forth;
With the key of softness unlock the locks--with a whisper,
Set ope the doors, O Soul!
Tenderly! be not impatient!
(Strong is your hold, O mortal flesh!
Strong is your hold, O love.)
--The Last Invocation, Walt Whitman

I'm sorry for your loss. Your uncle's story had an entire family (mine) across the country rooting that Uncle Don would make it home for Christmas. And to an old man winding down his life, I think being at home would be everything :-) You did a very good thing.
December 28, 2006 at 01:36PM | Stuccohouse
Those weren't nurses tearing him apart, they were angels trying to lift him. He really wanted to be home, didn't he?
Peace to both of you.
Peace to both of you.

So sorry for the loss of Uncle Don. I'm sure he is tuly Home now looking down and with a smile thinking what a lucky man he is.
You and your family brought him happiness for Christmas. He was able to be home. God Bless

It's a blessing that your Uncle Don could be home when his time came. Please accept our sympathies for your loss and our prayers for God's comfort and strength for you as you work through taking care of what was left behind when his soul was released from this world.
December 28, 2006 at 08:47PM | Lillian
God rest his soul. How wonderful that you were able to arrange things so that he could leave the "Good" institution and die in his own home. I think that qualifies as a happy ending by any definition.
December 28, 2006 at 09:53PM | John Cahill
I'm very sorry about your uncle. But thank you for sharing this deeply meaningful story, and for the beautiful way you write.
December 29, 2006 at 12:34PM | Jola
Oh, Brenda. I decided to listen to some music while finally -- finally! -- catching up with you, you who were so kind to me in my hours of Law School Application Madness, and as I read of your uncle's last days of freedom -- I swear I am not making this up -- my jukebox program kicked up "Solsbury Hill." Of course you know I'm in tears right now.
Happy New Year, dear, dear Brenda. Other people have said it better than I can, but it still bears repeating: what a wondrous thing you did for your uncle.

text: Founder of Once Upon A Time bookstore in Montrose California passed away peacefully after a long re-occurring illness. She will be remembered for her trail breaking spirit, having opened Once Upon A Time bookstore in 1966, long before women worked outside of the home and certainly before it was common for a woman to own a business. Jane enriched the lives of many with her love and knowledge of the written word, focused mostly on quality children's literature. Jane was born to Frank and Jessie Goad in Chicago Illinois and was soon joined by her younger brother Frank. The Goad family moved to Glendale California when Jane was a teenager. She excelled in school having skipped grades along the way and passed the qualifying exam for Mensa membership. She met Bob Humphrey after graduating high school and they were married June 26th 1953. In 1957 Chris was born, then daughter Susan and then Tim. Jane worked part time as a clerk and window dresser at Bob's Valley Bookstore on Honolulu Avenue, it was then she realized the there was a tremendous need for a shop specific to children's literature. With the encouragement of friends she opened the first location of Once Upon A Time on Verdugo Road. It was the first of four locations in Montrose. This changed the face of independent children's bookstores across the Nation. Today Once Upon A Time, the last children's bookstore in the United States, is owned by Maureen Palacios who has expanded and modernized the shop while maintaining the essence of Jane's original vision. Being a wise and creative retailer was just one of many Jane's extraordinary talents. In retirement she and Bob continued to travel, maintain an authentic English country garden and truly enjoyed their new found freedom. She created Manorisms.com, a blog depicting life in retirement. The blog showcased both her amazing photo talent and her ability to write honestly and eloquently. Through her blog she made friends with people all over the world. She was a water color artist; she loved blue grass and traditional jazz. She had a dry sense of humor enjoyed by all who knew her; she passed humor on to her children as well as many other excellent qualities. Jane left an imprint on the hearts and souls of those who shared her path in a multitude of ways. Jane and Bob were married 58 years when Bob Humphrey passed away. He was the love of her life and she may have ultimately died of a broken heart.

This song is about how most of us need a shoulder to cry or maybe just to take a breath and feel the things that worry us.
It's about how sometimes the people lending us support might need some support themselves… they might need our shoulder… our 'Broken Shoulder', just as we need theirs.
Many a times, I have spent sleepless nights thinking about stuff that hurt me but I never did anything about it because I always feared the worse.
What if I lose control over my emotions?
What if I cry?
What if people think that I am a lunatic, or a cry-baby?
Living in the norms of the society is so difficult because we have to act 'decent'. We can't just scream aloud when we feel pain, we can't just punch a wall in front of everyone. "That dude is crazy," they'll say.
But I'll tell you what – keeping this crap inside will drive us crazy.
We need an outlet – just one person we can fully trust, who doesn't ask questions, who just listens, in the arms of whom we can be ourselves and for once not be worried about what people around us think of the way we are react to the darkness within.
But we do have to realise, that person is vulnerable too… S/he's broken just as much as each one of us. We need to do what s/he does for us.
I have a broken shoulder to lend to someone. So do you.
BROKEN SHOULDER – Lyrics
Sometimes there are these things that just hurt and I don't know why
Sometimes there are these words that just hurt, you might not know why
Whisper the fathomless
Whisper into nothingness
Or just don't whisper anything at all…
I would like to lend you my Broken Shoulder
What would I do? I have no clue, Still I would stay…
Sometimes people drink and just stew in their guilt
Sometimes they sustain all the pain and the filth
I whisper the fathomless
I whisper into nothingness
And sometimes I don't whisper anything at all…
Now would you mind if I worship the shrine – your Broken Shoulder
Calmness and peace, that's what I seek, Show me the way…
Broken Shoulder
Broken Shoulder…
P.S – I am not a professional musician. This is just one of my 'outlets'. Please excuse me if things don't sound perfect.

Tierra del Fuego or TF (Spanish for "Land of Fire", English pronunciation: /tiːˈɛərə dɛl ˈfweɪɡoʊ]/; Spanish: [ˈtjera ðel ˈfweɣo]) is an archipelago off the southernmost tip of the South American mainland, across the Strait of Magellan. The southern point of the archipelago forms Cape Horn.
Earliest humans settlement occurred more than 10,000 years ago. The Yaghan people were some of the earliest known humans settling in Tierra del Fuego, with certain recognizable archeological sites at locations such as Navarino Island within the islands of Tierra del Fuego.[1]
The name Tierra del Fuego derives from the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan sailing for the Spanish Crown, who was the first European to visit these lands in 1520. He believed he was seeing the many fires (fuego in Spanish) of the Yaghan, which were visible from the sea and that the "Indians" were waiting in the forests to ambush his armada.[2] Originally called the "Land of Smoke," it was later changed to "Land of Fire."
Four native Fuegians, including "Jemmy Button" (Orundellico), were brought from Tierra del Fuego by Robert FitzRoy on his first voyage with the HMS Beagle in 1830. They were taken to meet the King and Queen in London and were to an extent celebrities. The surviving three returned to Tierra del Fuego in the Beagle with Charles Darwin, who made extensive notes about his visit to the islands.
According to the Boundary treaty of 1881 Tierra del Fuego was divided between Argentina and Chile; previously it was claimed by both countries in its entirety.
The archipelago consists of a main island (Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, often simply called Tierra del Fuego or Isla Grande) with an area of 48,100 km2 (18,572 sq mi), and a group of smaller islands.
The main island is split between two countries: 18,507.3 km2 (7,146 sq mi) (38.57% of total) belongs to Argentina, while 29,484.7 km2 (11,384 sq mi) (61.43% of total) belongs to Chile.
Half of this island, and the islands west and south of it, are part of the Magallanes y Antártica Chilena Region, the capital and chief town of which is Punta Arenas, situated on the mainland across the strait. The biggest Chilean towns are Porvenir, capital of the Chilean Province of Tierra del Fuego, on the main island, and Puerto Williams, on Navarino Island, being the capital of the Antártica Chilena Province. Puerto Toro lies a few kilometers south of Puerto Williams and is the southernmost village in the world.
The eastern part of the archipelago belongs to Argentina, being part of the Tierra del Fuego, Antarctic Territory and South Atlantic Islands Province; its capital is Ushuaia, the biggest city of the archipelago. The other important city in the region is Río Grande on the Atlantic coast.
The Darwin Range ends in the Mount Bove; this range contains many glaciers that reach the ocean. Mount Darwin is the highest peak at 2,488 metres (8,163 ft).
The climate in this region is very inhospitable. It is a subpolar oceanic climate (Köppen climate classification Cfc) with short, cool summers and long, wet, moderate winters: the precipitation averages 3,000 mm (118 in) a year. Temperatures are steady throughout the year: in Ushuaia they hardly surpass 9 °C (50 °F) in summers and average 0 °C (30 °F) in winters. Snowfall can occur in summer. The cold and wet summers help preserve the ancient glaciers. The southernmost islands possess subantarctic climate typical of tundra that makes the growth of trees impossible. Some areas in the interior have a polar climate. Regions in the world with similar climates to southern Tierra del Fuego are: Aleutian islands, Iceland, Alaska Peninsula and Faroe Islands.
Only 30% of the islands have forests, which are classified as Magellanic sub polar; the northeast is made up by steppe and cool semi desert.
There are six species of tree found in Tierra del Fuego: Canelo or Winter's Bark (Drimys winteri), Maytenus magellanica, Pilgerodendron uviferum the southernmost conifer in the world , and three kinds of Southern Beech; Nothofagus antarctica, Nothofagus pumilio and the evergreen Nothofagus betuloides. Fruits grow in open spaces in these forests, such as beach strawberry (Fragaria chiloensis var. chiloensis forma chiloensis) and calafate (Berberis buxifolia), which were and are collected respectively by Indians and countrymen[3]. These forests are unique in the world for having developed in a climate with such cold summers. Tree cover extends very close to the southernmost tip of South America. Winds are so strong that trees in wind-exposed areas grow twisted by the force of winds, and people call the trees "flag-trees" for the shape that they need to take in the fight with the wind. Tree vegetation extends as far south as the Isla de los Estados, Navarino Island and the north of Hoste Island. At altitudes above 500 m (1,640 ft), dwarf nothofagus communities are found. Going further south, Wollaston Islands and the south of Hoste Island are covered by subantarctic tundra.
Drimys winteri flowers
Forests from Tierra del Fuego have expanded beyond local importance; they have been a source of trees that have been planted abroad in places with practically the same climate but which were originally devoid of trees like Faroe Islands and nearby archipelagos. Most species were gathered from the coldest places in Tierra del Fuego, sites mainly with tundra borders. This effort resulted in positive changes, as the heavy winds and cool summers in the Faroe Islands did not allow the growth of trees from other regions in the world. The imported trees are used ornamentally, as curtains against wind, and for fighting erosion caused by storms and grazing in the Faroe Islands.[4]
Among the most notable animals in the archipelago that are found: parakeets, seagulls, guanacos, foxes, kingfishers, condors, owls, and firecrown hummingbirds. North American beaver, introduced in the 1940s, have proliferated and caused considerable damage to the island's forests.[5]
Like mainland Chile and Argentina to the north, the archipelago boasts some of the finest trout fishing in the world. Sea Run Brown Trout often exceed 9 kg (20 lb), particularly in rivers such as the Rio Grande and San Pablo and in the Lago Fagnano. Much of this water is private, catch and release and fly fishing only.
The main industries are oil, natural gas, sheep farming and ecotourism. On the Argentine side there are several electronic companies established. Tierra del Fuego is also home to the small brewing company Cervecería Fueguina, which produces three beers under the Beagle brand name.[6]
Tierra del Fuego [1] is an archipelago off the south of South America, separated from the mainland by the Magellan Strait. The 73,753 km² archipelago was divided between Argentina and Chile in 1881. The eastern part belongs to Argentina (the Territory of Tierra del Fuego) and its main towns are Rio Grande and Ushuaia. The western part belongs to Chile (Magallanes province) and its main towns are Porvenir and Puerto Williams. Cape Horn is at the southernmost part of the archipelago, in Chilean land.
The five medium sized islands and numerous small islands, islets and rocks include:
"Tierra del Fuego" (Spanish: "Land of Fire") got its name from Ferdinand Magellan who, on passing the archipelago in 1520, spotted a number of fires burning along the coastline. These fires may have been made by the archipelago's aboriginal inhabitants: the Ona, Alakaluf and Yahgan (commonly called Yamana). Four aboriginals were taken from Tierra del Fuego in 1830 by Robert Fitzroy, and were sailed to Britain to meet the King. The three survivors later returned to Tierra del Fuego on the Beagle, with Charles Darwin, who believed the native Fuegans to be "the missing link".
The arrival of missionaries, introduction of sheep farming and the discovery of gold in the 1880s led to European, Argentine, and Chilean immigrants, which gradually killed off the native Fuegans. An excellent book on the history of the Yamana and their demise is The Uttermost Part of the Earth by E. Lucas Bridges, the son of one of the early missionaries. His father, Thomas Bridges, documented what he could of the Yamana language and found that it had a larger vocabulary than the English language.
Today, the economy is based on petroleum, tourism, textiles, electronics and, to a decreasing degree, sheep-farming.
The western parts of the archipelago form the southernmost tip of the Andes range. The eastern parts are an extension of the Patagonian plateau. Based in the south of Patagonia, the climate is cold but warmer than many assume; in winter, the average temperature is -2. In summer, it can climb to 30, although in reality it rarely rises far beyond 10. There are frequent high winds and much rainfall, especially in the coastal areas.
There are regular Aerolineas Argentinas flights from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia and Rio Grande. Air services also link major settlements to Punta Arenas in Chile. Buses from all over Argentina enter Tierra del Fuego via Rio Gallegos. NB Buses running from Rio Gallegos to Ushuaia all pass through Chilean land, so include two border crossings. A regular ship, the ferry Melinka, links Porvenir and Punta Arenas, and naval vessels supply Ushuaia and Isla Navarino, Chile.
Roads are poor in Tierra del Fuego, and, apart from the tourist tour train, there are no railways. There is little public transport. However, tours / transport can be booked through the Tourist Office (on San Martin, Ushuaia) or through many of the hostels. Taxis are another option, costing, for example, Ar$7 to get from the city centre to either the airport or Glaciar Martial. There are also several car / bicycle hire companies in Ushuaia.
A regional specialty is King Crab, called centolla in Spanish, and seafood is usually excellent. Otherwise, local cuisine follows the tendencies of Chile and Argentina in general. Fruit and vegetables have to be transported from thousands of miles away and, as such, are rarely tasty.
Ushuaia has several bars and one nightclub.
Crime rates on Tierra del Fuego are very low. If hiking or trekking, it is important to take warm, waterproof gear.
Flights can be booked from the Aerolineas office in Ushuaia. Buses to Buenos Aires and other destinations (apart from Puerto Natales) all stop at Rio Gallegos. It can be cheaper to just buy a ticket to Rio Gallegos and purchase an onward ticket from there.

- McMaster Cybernetic Orchestra featured on CBC Radio's Spark with Norah Young
Dr. David Ogborn (a.k.a. d0kt0r0) is an Associate Professor of Communication Studies and Multimedia. Dr. Ogborn directs the live coding Cybernetic Orchestra (http://soundcloud.com/cyberneticOrchestra), and teaches audio, code and game design in the undergraduate Multimedia and graduate New Media and Communication programs. The Cybernetic Orchestra was recently profiled on CBC Radio's Spark with Norah Young. Read more and listen to the podcast here.
The video below features Dr. Ogborn live coding with renowned tabla player, Shawn Mativetsky, in their new network music ensembla, very long cat. They rehearse and perform via the Internet, employing an eclectic range of techniques and technologies. The musicians explain: "With very long cat, we are not only bridging physical distances, but are also working to bring together two very different musical cultures, and both old and new practices of improvisation and creative music making. Shawn Mativetsky performs tabla in both traditional and new music contexts. He learned in the tradition of the Benares gharana, which is renowned for its rich tradition of solo tabla playing, drawing upon centuries old traditions of improvisation. David Ogborn's live coding practice has been strongly influenced by the live coding community around the Cybernetic Orchestra (McMaster University) and the greater Toronto and Hamilton area, and attempts to engage as directly as possible with the "theatre" of code, privileging simple and visible code that is modified quickly."

Applying for international admissions to U.S universities could be daunting. You might get your comfort from knowing that most of these universities wish they had more international students: they wish their classrooms could reflect the interconnected world we live in. Avoiding mistakes such as not doing enough research could boost your chances of admission into these universities.
Common Mistakes Include:
- Not Doing Research: it is easy to get excited about an opportunity and forget the basics such as making sure you know enough about the university you want to apply to. Students miss crucial things such as the availability of academic programs they would like to pursue. Others forget to check fee structures and financial aid programs available and end up stranded as additional expenses keep piling up. It is also easy to forget some basic things such as the weather at the location where the University is, and students end up packing summer clothes for very cold places or because they did not realize that there are cold seasons in that area.
- Not Asking Questions: most students fail to make use of the valuable resource that is the university admissions counsellor. Students should make use of this resource and address all their queries and frustrations before making the decision to leave home for university. You can even consider consulting current students for a more casual talk about how things work to verify if that is really the choice you want to make.
- Not Bragging about Yourself: It is our unique cultural identity that sets us apart, that is why when you apply, there is almost always a section that includes your personal essay and a list of your accomplishments. Be it academics or extracurricular activities such as art or sports, don't overlook or try to minimize this part of your application. Sharing these accomplishments and interests enhances your application and sets you further apart from the crowd.
- Not Planning Ahead: most international students expect U.S colleges to be very streamlined. In reality, every university has a different process and schedule. Even though some universities will accept applications throughout the year, it will take months to get your immigration paperwork finalized with the American embassy near you. Admissions counsellors would also be very happy to assist with the immigration process and documents needed.
- Not Thinking about The Future: Are you prepared for your first day of class? What about the week, do you have some kind of plan for what you want to achieve in your first week? Do you know what you want to do after you graduate? You can plan to find answers to some of these questions through research, faculty mentors, conferences and internships.
Once you explore all that is available to you as an international student at an American college, you can start to make advancements to bringing your dream of studying in the US a reality.
For more enquiries about admissions into universities abroad, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com or call +2348125835476

Awe, I've been really good today and not ordered anything (admittedly it's because I drained my Paypal earlier this week on an ebay POM vest and some Privo Shoes ;p) but I sure am feeling tempted by some of these goodies. The Scuba Hoodie in Rose Petal is such a pretty color but I just can't justify another scuba unless I sell one of the ones I have (Wish Blue?), I just don't need a collection of them since I don't wear them that often.
What did you guys get today??
Scuba Hoodie Heathered Rose Petal/Lavender Grey
Run Swiftly Tech V Neck Rocksteady
I love my Raspberry V Neck Swiftly and have worn it tons so I am very tempted to get it in Rocksteady as well. Hopefully it'll still be around later.
Run Swiftly Tech LS Rocksteady
And I am in need of a Swiftly LS and really loved it in this color when I tried it on over here.
I already have these but I have to say I'm really glad it finally got uploaded for those of you that have been waiting patiently. This is my top favourite lulu item of the year so far.

Most men don't see a physician unless they are extremely sick or hurt and often skip their annual examinations and preventative care appointment. So what's the obstacle? Men, themselves don't make their health a priority.
Why? If a man feels good, he doesn't feel the need to be checked out. Many men are unaware that simple screenings or lifestyle changes that noticeably improve their quality of life. High cholesterol or blood pressures are not always obvious symptoms, but the fact is that many health issues are not detectable until it's too late.
10 Reasons Men Avoid Visiting The Doctor
According the American Heart Association, there are 10 reasons men commonly avoid visiting their health care provider.
- Don't have a doctor. Find a doctor you trust by checking your insurance company listings and asking around to friends and family for recommendations.
- No insurance. With the Affordable Care Act everyone should have insurance.
- Nothing is wrong, you feel good. You may be right but … many health issues or conditions are not detectable until it's too late.
- Lack of time. You are busy, but with about 8,766 hours in a year, spend two hours of those hours to visit a health care provider.
- You don't want to spend the money. It is better to spend a little now and save a lot later than saving a little now and spend a lot in the future.
- Doctors don't do anything. When you get a checkup, the doctor just gives you tests and it may seem like you don't get anything, but you do. You receive knowledge and news that brings better health, if you take action.
- Don't want to hear the truth. Your doctor's there to help you become healthier and to avoid future disorders. You can deny your reality, but you can't deny the consequences.
- Uncomfortable being examined. Don't let one test stop you from receiving all the benefits of an annual physical.
- You tough it out. You don't like to complain about your health, but there are plenty of instances where your symptoms will only get worse if you don't receive proper treatment.
- Your significant other encouraging you to get a checkup. A little nudging from your wife, mom or partner nagging you influences your decision to go see the doctor, so go.
June is Men's Health month, a time to increase awareness of preventable health problems and encourage detection and treatment of disease among men and boys.

Happy Canada Day!
There is no better way to enjoy Canada Day, than attending a Citizenship Court and participating in the celebration of folks becoming New Canadians. There are usually lots of tears, lots of smiles and loads of congratulations and joy. There is always cake!!
A mountie is always in attendance, and often the flags are trooped in by the local veterans. I remember one man from Cuba, who cried and cried, he just couldn't stop he was so overcome with joy at becoming a new Canadian. That, I will never forget. So if you get the chance to attend a Citizenship Court...and they are always free...go along and support and encourage our New Canadians; they will be so pleased by your welcome.

Reported by Santosh Jagdev
Bhubaneswar, Aug 30:
On the second day of their three day long cease-work agitation demanding shifting of Orissa High court from Cuttack to Bhubaneswar, nearly 50 lawyers courted arrest on Friday.
Lawyers also boycotted court work and blocked National Highway 203 by placing burning tyres on the road near Bhubaneswar District and Sessions court here disrupting vehicular movement for several hours.
Arguing that high courts in all other parts of the country were located in the State capitals with the exception of Allahabad High Court in Uttar Pradesh, the lawyers said shifting of the High Court from Cuttack to Bhubaneswar has been a major demand of the bar association here for a long time.
"We will agitate till the fulfilment of our legitimate demands. From Monday, we will participate in court proceedings, but continue the agitation simultaneously. If situation demands, we will seek the support of other Bar associations across the State to press our demand," said Bhubaneswar Bar Association president Santosh Choudhury.
"On many occasions, we have appealed to the State Government and also made a representation before the Justice CR Pal Commission, set up in March 2008 to assess the feasibility and desirability of establishing a permanent bench or circuit bench of Orissa High Court anywhere in the State. We have been pressing our demand time and again and this is the right time to demand shifting of the High Court to the State capital," added Choudhury.
Stating that the then Law Minister Narasingha Mishra on March 8, 1991 had informed the State Assembly that in principle the State Government had taken decision to shift the High Court from Cuttack to Bhubaneswar, senior Bar member Sudhir Mohanty urged the State Government to take the initiative to shift the High Court to the capital city.
In the early 1990s, the Government had made an attempt to shift the High Court to the State capital, but had failed.

Discussing with a good friend of mine this morning that is as big a gamer as I am, prompted me to write this blog. Basically we stared at each other (via IM) going: "Most people rate it 10/10, I don't get it, do you?" , "I don't really like it, do you?".
I am big fan of the series, so of course I was there at release date and bought my copy. I was excited as a fly on sh*t. I was quickly disappointed. I am halfway through the game and I have just dropped it. Didn't get hooked like the other series, just powered through half the game and then... just dropped it. I have only done this once before with GTA Miami. GTA San Andreas is one of my all time favorite games.
Main gripes are:
- The driving SUCKS, this is a BAD driving game. I mean it is really worse than the previous games. I loved one car in GTA3, I loved the bikes in both SA and LCS (PSP). Here most of the cars are slow, bounce around like hip-hop cars and the controls are just sluggish. Coming off a game like Burnout, which I just finished, this feels just painful.
- The fighting SUCKS, this is a BAD FPS. The fighting controls are sluggish, the fights are too easy.
- I don't want to role play a heroin dealer. I am sick and tired of the "dark relativism", maybe I am growing up but organizing heroin deals to buy the latest shoes so that my russian friend looks good is just not a story line I relate to. Going to strip clubs and watching a 3D model do dirty things, is fine but I can't have the kids around and then shooting them up?
On the plus side
- Graphics are good
- Story has depth, it is more a movie than a game. Really it feels like a chopped up version of Scarface in NYC but interupted with "you drive the car from A to B"
- Shooting pigeons is the most fun I have had in this game, but that lasted a day until I realized I was free-roaming shooting pigeons in a virtual world.
The most odd point is something I both like and dislike: the TAXIS. In this version of the game you can ride the taxis and speed through moving. Which is great: I don't hijack cars EVER, I just get in a taxi and pay and get there at once, it speeds up the game. But the downside is that I don't listen to the radio, I don't "drive around" I don't drive at top speed. I never get into the mood of the game.
Bottom line it is ALL VERY BORING TO ME.
I will put recommendations for 2 games I have really liked: Burnout Paradise, FANTASTIC GAME, fantastic driving, graphics, music. Then I am playing IRON MAN... not for everyone but I do like the controls of fighting (flying not so much) but it still beats GTA4...
