Why do they call Chile ' Chile'?
There are several theories about the origin of the word Chile: The ancient incas from Cusco used to call the lands located south from the Atacama desert Chile, by corruption of the name of a Picunche tribal chief ("cacique") called Tili, who ruled the area at the time of the Incan conquest in the… 15th century. Other theories say Chile may derive its name from a Native American word meaning either "ends of the earth" or "sea gulls"; from the Mapuche word chilli, which may mean "where the land ends"; or from the Quechua chiri, "cold,"or tchili, meaning either "snow" or "the deepest point of the Earth. Another origin attributed to chilli is the onomatopoeic cheele-cheele-the Mapuche imitation of the warble of a bird locally known as trile. The spanish conquerours, once settled in Perú, kept calling that way to the region in the south as valley of Chile. Ultimately, Diego de Almagro is credited with the universalization of the name Chile, after naming the Mapocho valley as such. . It is a simple answer that it's often overlooked due to it's simplicity. It's because of the shape the country portrays on the map... A chilli, translated to Chile. (MORE)

What are facts about Chile?
The capital of Chile is Santiago. It is a Spanish speaking country Chile borders three different countries; Argentina to the east, Bolivia to the northeast and Peru to the north. Chile is the world's 38th largest country. It is about twice the size of Japan. The area of Chile is almost twic…e the size of Montana. Chile has an unusual ribbon shape. It is 4300 km long and just 175 km wide (on average) Chile has a broad spectrum of growing climates. These climactic variations favor diversified production of fruits and prolonged harvest seasons. In the past 16 years, fresh fruit exports from Chile to North America have increased over 700 percent. Chile is the primary wintertime source (over 95 percent) of fresh grapes for the US and Canada. Chile's coastline stretches about 2,700 miles long, running from the Atacama; the world's most arid desert in the north, through forests, valleys, mountains, lakes, glacier fields, the Tierra del Fuego and the Antarctic Circle in the south. Chile is never more than 110 miles wide east to west. There are more than 2,000 volcanoes in Chile, of which 50 are actually active. The highest volcano in the world, 'Ojos del Salado', is in Chile. It is also the 2nd highest peak in South America. Chile is the largest producer of copper in the world, and the second-largest producer of salmon in the world. The population of Chile is 16,888,760 and is expected to be about 20.2 million by 2050. About 10% of the Chilean population consider themselves indigenous to the region. However, according to the 2002 census, only about half of these people still speak a native language or practice a native culture. There are an estimated 840,000 Chileans living abroad. More than half of these live in Argentina. 2% of these live in Australia. The most popular sport in Chile is football (soccer to Australians and Americans). The Chilean football team won a bronze medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Tennis is the second most popular sport in Chile, with Fernando González the last Chilean to reach a Grand Slam singles final. The Chilean fruit-growing season is opposite that of the US, so marketing is complementary rather than competitive. Chile provides North America with almost 15 percent of all its fruit sales during the months of November through April. Chile had to endure a 17 year military dictatorship between 1973-1990 that left more than 3000 people either dead or missing. Michelle Bachelet was the first woman president ever in Chile and was elected for the period 2006 - 2010. One traditional dish is curanto, a stew that combines seafood, meat and vegetables. Another popular meal is beef steak with chips, onions and eggs, called 'Bistec a lo pobre' (Poor man steak). Pebre, a hot sauce, is eaten with meat dishes, bean and corn chowder (porotos granados) is another traditional dish. Chile is the home of two Nobel Prize winning poets, Gabriela Mistral (1945), and Pablo Neruda(1971). David Selkirk, immortalized as Robinson Crusoe, survived a shipwreck and lived for several years on a desert island off the coast of Chile, no doubt thriving on the nutritional benefits of fresh fruit. There are two islands called 'Robinson Crusoe' and 'Alejandro Selkirk Island', respectively, in Chile. It is believed that Native Americans settled in Chile about 10,000 years ago. They settled along the coast as the most fertile land was found there. They also found the oldest mummy in Chile. The national game of Chile is soccer. The Atacama Desert is the driest and coldest desert in the world. Chilean wines have won numerous awards and are now ranked #3 in the world . (MORE)

It looks like our ice skating season may be over. In past years, the season usually ends abruptly, so we are used to that. Nevertheless, we are really missing our hockey games!
|A hockey game with friends
Last week we had a new member join the farm! :) The chrysalis, that had been hanging in a jar in our school room since last fall, finally went through complete metamorphosis! :) We have named this beautiful Swallowtail butterfly Valerie. We have one more chrysalis in the jar. Hopefully that butterfly will emerge too. :)
Two years ago we had a butterfly hatch around the same time. We named her Valentine. She lived for a month, sipping oranges and fluttering around the bay window. When she died, we flattened her body and put her in a frame. Jonny keeps her displayed on his shelf in his room. :)
The day after Valerie hatched, I was sitting at the kitchen table talking with a friend and suddenly her eyes got big and she stopped talking. I wondered what was wrong. Then she exclaimed, "Is there a butterfly in your house?" :)
This week we will get the pork we ordered from some friends. The butcher shop was so backed up, we couldn't get our pig in until now. Anyway, we are looking forward to bacon and breakfast sausage again! Once I get the lard, I will render it and use it for frying...just like grandma did! :) Contrary to popular belief, saturated fats from good sources ARE good for you! But that is a subject for a Health Journal post! :)

In this blog, I have repeatedly advocated art that exists outside of the confines of the institutions of art—outside of galleries, auction houses, and museums. I have gone as far as to propose the idea that anything can be art. This does not mean that I believe that just because anything can be art that everything is art, and certainly I don't advocate a notion that everything is good art.
Last Friday I went to two gallery openings in the Boise area. Each of these focused on its own particular kind of art, and each form was something a bit outside of the category of "high" art. One, in a college gallery setting, was concerned with meaning and therefore relied heavily (too heavily, as we will see) on language. The other, in the setting of a commercial gallery, was commodity-based and displayed artwork that was more concerned with appearances than any coherent meaning of a body of work.
Pagans, Pigeons, and the Architectural Index is an exhibition of prints and photos by Benjamin Love in the Rosenthal Gallery at the College of Idaho in Caldwell. The work centers on one aspect of the history of the building the gallery is housed in: Blatchley Hall. Cursory research into the building (at this website: http://hcap.artstor.org/cgi-bin/library?a=d&d=p54) reveals that, while it was originally constructed with Ionic capitals on the columns on the porch, they were removed during the 1950s. Campus legend has it that "a president's wife" had them removed for various reasons: a. the reasons are unknown; b. "to deprive pigeons of a perch;'" or c. she was trying to "rid the school of evidence of a pagan culture."
The entirety of Love's exhibition is based on this one paragraph in the Council of Independent Colleges Historic Campus Architecture Project website. There are a few series of three prints. One triptych is simply the text from the website, with the individual reasons inserted as the last sentence. Another triptych consists of recreations of photos of the alleged "president's wife," Martha Pitman, with text at the lower part of the picture plane. Each print is nearly identical except for the text giving the reasons for removal of the capitals. The larger portion of the gallery contains small, 4" by 6" photos of various structures in and around Caldwell that include Ionic columns. I presume this is to refute the idea that "pagan culture" could have been chased out of the town or even the campus (many of the photos are examples on the College of Idaho campus itself).
The entire exhibition is based on a single concept. This kind of single-issue art leaves very little for a viewer to do, especially when text is relied upon so heavily. The prints are literally telling you what they mean—there is no need for further investigation on the part of the viewer and the communication between artist and viewer is decidedly one-way. Once the message is understood (and it doesn't take long when it's spelled out for you), the viewer has little reason to have continued interest in the artwork. Perhaps the less text-reliant portion of the exhibition, the photos, could have at least provided something aesthetic and visual to the collection. But the photos were small with uninspired compositions; many of them were of houses and seemed to be taken from across the street—making it hard to see the columns in question. What's more, their display—tacked to the wall with small thumb-tacks—seemed to be an afterthought.
I think any artist is striving to make a sustainable connection with a viewer—whether it's purely aesthetic or vehemently polemic. If art is created to establish a meaning-making interaction with a viewer, this exhibition falls short. As I stood waiting for a connected presentation on the history of ionic columns in Idaho, I noticed that there were upwards of 30, maybe 40 people in attendance. Not one of them was looking at the artwork after 15 minutes of the show being open. Not one person. Now, certainly, art openings are as much, if not more, about socializing as about artwork, but typically the conversation at least touches on the subject of the art, or what print or photo may have been someone's favorite. I did not overhear any of those conversations. If I were asked to pithily summarize the work exhibited in one sentence, I would describe it as "Hack crap and bad photos," a summation that could encompass many conceptually-based shows.
The most engaging part of the evening was Dr. Lee Ann Turner's presentation entitled, "The Iconic, the Ironic, and the Ionic." During this lecture about the history of Ionic columns in Greece and in Idaho, the collected audience was engaged fully, and not just with the history being presented. In this scripto-visual slide show, again heavily reliant on language, Dr. Turner augmented and expanded upon the issues Love was only hinting at with his small photographs—specifically the notion that columns are used all over American architecture, with varying degrees of historical accuracy or awareness.
I came away wondering how much more engaging the exhibition could have been had the presentation been a more integrated part of the work. One of my maxims in art is that "presentation is everything." In that, I'm not singling out lecture-style presentations like this one, but I'm focusing on the fact that the entirety of an artwork—from what it is representing to how it is framed, hung, and contextualized within a gallery (or street corner, or theater). In this case, Love's didactic prints and photos, with their bare-bones presentation in a spare space, fell short of fully engaging the viewer. However, Dr. Turner's presentation proved that a deeper connection with viewers was possible. It took more attention to presentation and a willingness to engage the audience on a personal, even conversational level.
The same night, I went to Visual Arts Collective, which was holding the opening reception for Bloodwork. The exhibition featured new works by Noble Hardesty, William Kirkman, and Kelly Knopp. The work here is quite some distance from the conceptual, language-based work at the college gallery earlier. While the paintings and neon wall pieces had some sort of content to each, there was no overarching theme encompassing the three artists' work, or even different works of each individual artist. Hardesty and Knopp's paintings are graphic and stylistic and fall into a category some refer to as "low brow." The works of Hardesty in particular stood out to me, partially because of the large size of the paintings. There was a painting of a "wave of pigs," as described by one viewer, one of an unidentified Norse Goddess in battle, and a monstrous version of Grape Ape skateboarding on a city bus. Included with these (and others) were sketches that led to the paintings, all done on what appeared to be cardboard bar coasters and the backs of postcards.
Hardesty's work doesn't "mean" anything. Grape Ape wreaking havoc is not some allegorical painting regarding corporate consumerism or an investigation into ancient architectural styles as revived in the United States. It's a painting that looks cool. And the viewers were looking. And buying. Visual Arts Collective sold somewhere in the neighborhood of $3,500 worth of artwork at the opening alone.
If you've paid any attention to my previous posts on this blog, you know that sales do not define quality in artwork for me. But, in this case, they are a hard-number indication of the interest the work was generating on the part of the viewer. Not only were the viewers looking at and discussing the work, they were purchasing the work in order to continue their relationship with it at home.
These are two wildly different exhibitions. On the one hand, you have the language-based, conceptual work of academia, and on the other hand, you have the image-centric, commercial art of the low-brow market. Both are working to make a sustained connection with the viewer. In this case, on this night, in this location, it was the non-academic—the low-brow, the illustration—that was doing the better job.
Benjamin Love: Pagans, Pigeons, and the Architectural Index will be on display through December 16, 2011 in the Rosenthall Gallery on the campus of The College of Idaho in Caldwell.
Bloodwork: New Work by Noble Hardesty, William Kirkman, and Kelly Knopp will be on display at Visual Arts Collective (3638 Osage Street, Garden City, Idaho) through December 3, 2011.

Although many real estate agents claim that Open Houses do not help much in getting your home sold, many home sellers still request their home to be "held open". If you do choose to have an open house, there are some things you will want to keep in mind.
Despite the wide-ranging use of technology in home buying today, potential home buyers still want to see a home, get a feel for what it actually looks like and how it flows, without calling their agent for a showing. Open House can be an efficient way to get many buyers in at once.
Here are 6 do's and don'ts for holding your open house
Information on the Property
DO provide useful information packets (folders, binders, CDs) to every attendee with information on the house itself, photos, community and neighborhood information. Most potential buyers see lots of homes for sale in Picayune—you want them to have something to take with them to remember your house by.
Being Pushy
DON'T be at the forefront of the open house. As a matter of fact, its best if you aren't there at all. While you're at it, take your children and your pets with you, too. Buyers need to imagine themselves in the home and that can be incredibly difficult when the owner is standing right there. If you feel you must be present, stick quietly to the background.
–continue reading below–
Declutter The Home
DO clean, declutter, and stage your home for sale. You want to show every person there the true potential of your home, and rather than distract them from that with your stuff, it's best to give your house a thorough floor-to-ceiling cleaning. Everything from the mold in the shower to the collage of 25 family photos, to the mismatched and poorly arranged furniture. These details can make or break the sale of your home, and at the very least potentially decrease the value.
Personal Items
DON'T leave your personal belongings or valuables. This includes jewelry, important documents, anything collectible or valuable, prescription medication. There are going to be a lot of people you don't know walking through your home. And don't kid yourself if you think that they aren't going to open those closets or check the bathroom cabinets. You'd like to think it's because they want to see how much space there is, but there's always a chance it's someone scoping out the goods you have.
Lean On Your Agent
DO keep it legal. Make sure you understand the disclosure laws in your state. Any good real estate agent will have your back on this and make sure that everything that needs to be said, is said. And be honest—if you replaced the stove 8 years ago, it's not really new.
DON'T ignore the feedback you get. This might be the first time the home has been open to the public since you bought the place. Okay, so maybe you really love that bright orange accent wall in the living room—but if 90% of the people who walked in the door didn't, you might consider painting the wall before moving forward. The goal is to sell the home, and if buyers aren't liking certain aspects, it can be in the seller's best interest to change it.

Mind the Gap
The American retail giant creates a buzz with its first Indian store in South Delhi
Leading a slew of international high street names such as H&M, Uniqlo and Topshopa��s entry into the country (scheduled to take place over the course of the year), is quintessential casual American clothing retailer Gap, also known for chic kids and baby products. Much has been said about the crowds that actor Kangana Ranaut attracted at the launch at New Delhia��s Select Citywalk Mall. A self-confessed Gap fan, her ensemble of distressed jeans, baseball tee and light denim coat was a good indication of the branda��s USP: a relaxed urban style. Set up in 1969 by Donald and wife, Doris Fisher, Gap started as a little shop on San Franciscoa��s Ocean Avenue, stocking Levia��s and LP records. With the Fishers still actively involved in its business, the brand now retails out of over 3,000 locations worldwide.
Spread across a sprawling 10,000 sq feet in the capital, the retailer, in partnership with Arvind Lifestyle Brands, has played up its denim line. The store currently stocks its Summer 2015 line, focussing on linen and cotton, which are ideal for the Indian weather. The colour palette shifts from bright yellow to cool minty green and crimson red on dresses, skirts, tops, shorts, beach wear, accessories and trousers for both men and women. They also have a lot of whites and off-whites, which is a given for Gap and tropical prints that make their way on to mena��s shorts too. Though the products are uniform across stores globally and prices are more or less the same, Oliver Kaye, the business head of Gap India, says the Indian consignment will be climate appropriate. a�?The adult section is a mix of wood and metal finishes, whileGap Kids is done up with bright pinks and blues. The Baby section sees a lot of toned down shades,a�? explains Kaye.
Market experts have commented on Gapa��s entry in India being a bit late but Kaye believes otherwise. a�?With Uniqlo and H&M yet to enter India, I think wea��ve timed it perfectly. What we offer is different, from whata��s out there. We do classic and casual American garments that are also trendy. And the kids and baby wear we offer is unmatched,a�? heA� says.
Expert opinion
Fashion editor of Harpera��s Bazaar, Krishna Mukhi echoes his thoughts. a�?I think the brands similar to Gap are Bossini and United Colors of Benetton, and as we all know, they dona��t really have a huge presence. I do think that we have a need for what they offer, right from their resort wear to nightwear,a�? she says.A� While Gapa��s other brands like Banana Republic and Old Navy will not be entering India just yet, wea��re hoping it happens soon.
There are no plans for an online store as of now, but word on the street is that it is set to open in metros like Bangalore, Chennai and Mumbai by 2016. Kaye however, shies away from giving out an exact date. a�?Wea��re in talks with a few people, but nothing is certain yet,a�? he signs off.
Rs 799 upwards. At Saket, New Delhi. Details: 011 42114211

Home buyer demand outpacing supply across the Metro Vancouver housing market
Posted in: Barry Thomas , Bowen Island Realtor , Macdonald Realty , Market Update , Real estate , Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver
A great article written by:
Craig Munn
Manager, Communication
VANCOUVER, B.C. – May 4, 2015 – Strong home buyer demand coupled with below average home listing activity has created seller's market conditions within the Metro Vancouver* housing market.
The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential property sales in Metro Vancouver reached 4,179 on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in April 2015. This represents a 37 per cent increase compared to the 3,050 sales recorded in April 2014, and a 2.9 per cent increase compared to the 4,060 sales in March 2015.
Last month's sales were 29.3 per cent above the 10-year sales average for the month.
"The supply of homes for sale today in the region is not meeting the demand we're seeing from home buyers. This is putting upward pressure on prices, particularly in the detached home market," Darcy McLeod, REBGV president said.
New listings for detached, attached and apartment properties in Metro Vancouver totalled 5,897 in April. This represents a 0.9 per cent decrease compared to the 5,950 new listings reported in April 2014.
The total number of properties currently listed for sale on the region's MLS® is 12,436, a 19.8 per cent decline compared to April 2014 and an increase of 0.5 per cent compared to March 2015.
"It's a competitive and fast-moving market today that is tilted in favour of home sellers. To be competitive, it's important to connect with a local REALTOR® who can help you develop a strategy to meet your home buying or selling needs," McLeod said.
The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $673,000. This represents an 8.5 per cent increase compared to April 2014.
The sales-to-active-listings ratio in April was 33.6 per cent. This is the highest that this ratio has been in Metro Vancouver since June 2007.
Sales of detached properties in April 2015 reached 1,815, an increase of 35.9 per cent from the 1,336 detached sales recorded in April 2014, and a 70.6 per cent increase from the 1,064 units sold in April 2013. The benchmark price for a detached property in Metro Vancouver increased 12.5 per cent from April 2014 to $1,078,900.
Sales of apartment properties reached 1,579 in April 2015, an increase of 34.7 per cent compared to the 1,172 sales in April 2014, and an increase of 50.1 per cent compared to the 1,052 sales in April 2013. The benchmark price of an apartment property increased 4.4 per cent from April 2014 to $394,200.
Attached property sales in April 2015 totalled 785, an increase of 44.8 per cent compared to the 542 sales in April 2014, and a 53.6 per cent increase from the 511 attached properties sold in April 2013. The benchmark price of an attached unit increased 5.7 per cent between April 2014 and 2015 to $493,300.
*Editor's Note: Areas covered by Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver include: Whistler, Sunshine Coast, Squamish, West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, Richmond, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, New Westminster, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, and South Delta.

I think I am a bit too particular on how I want Nana's flashcards to be looking like…I want them to be with real pictures but not cartoons, and bilingual with English and Traditional Chinese, having searched for months I failed to find exactly what I want so I decide to make it myself, and wow, it's so easy that I can do tens in a day!!
What you need to DIY Flashcards:
- Colour Printer
- Label Paper, they are usually for address labels etc. and are available in most stationery shops, just remember to buy those that come as a full page without default cuttings
- Cardboard, I am using a 400gm cardboard that's available in ArtFriend
- Paper Knife (It happens that hubby has a paper cutter so it's much easier!!)
How to DIY Flashcards:
- List down the vocabularies you want, I started the design with things Nana can see everything, such as dogs, cats, all sort of food, table, chairs etc. Toddlers have a natural interest in animals so do include lots of them!!
- The next step is to Google and downloads the pictures I want, this is probably the most time-consuming step, try adding "white background" for pictures with a lighter background and select large size picture for higher resolution.
- I then started designing my flashcards by opening up a template of A4 size which matches with the size of my label paper. I did my edits in Photoshop but I think Powerpoint can do a great job too
- Draw a frame with 4 cells, put the pictures I downloaded from the web and add the text, I did add some light background coz the white is just way too dull to me…
- Print the page on the label paper and stick it to the cardboard, cut according to the frame and tadah~~DIY flashcards are ready!!
Nana loves reading flashcards with Papa as hubby associates almost every card (well except those plant ones) with a funny sound. Over time I started to realize Nana is also memorizing the words on the flashcards and she can take the right card without seeing the picture. When Nana gets older I think I can "upgrade" the cards by printing same stickers but without the picture and put that at the back for her to start learning words. Gonna be fun!
Do let me know if you're interested in my flashcards! PM your email and I will send you over email. Happy Parenting!0 Be the first one!

September, already over
September 30, 2008
On October 1st of last year I was so disappointed in myself. I was still at the grocery store. I felt I was just going through the motions, and not at all passionate about what I was doing.
Tomorrow, is October 1st. One year later. 366 days later. And, I'm still at the grocery store. Things have changed, especially in my outlook and my wants, but my desires are still there. It's now been ~17 months since I gradated, instead of the five last year. And, I'm not editing video or creating video as much as I would like.
I've only had one post-college interview, and it didn't go too well.
I also have made music, including an EP of sorts. I have made short films, although my best work on youtube was spontaneous footage, with no story. And, I've seen new movies, and listened to new music. Read more books. But, I still feel I'm wasting my degree.
I'm trying. But that's about it, isn't it?
World's End Girlfriend/River Was Filled With Stories sounds so good right now.
So THAT's why my hit count went lower
September 28, 2008
According to this, the world had some how ended on September 10th. Someone's home made seismic earth detector had ceased to give readings around 8am (something like 2am on the US East Coast). Several other scientists had noticed it as well. So, evidently, we're are already gone.
This was about 3 hours before the Large Hadron Collider test was scheduled, and supposedly happened. So, the theory currently stands at the earth was destroyed so the scientists wouldn't destroy it first on October 21st of this year.
I went back to the How To Destroy The Earth site, and eventually found that information, just to see if there was any doubt from the site's creator if microscopic black holes could destroy the earth. Cause, you know, his information is more reliable than actual scientists.
No wonder there isn't anything good on TV these days…
10 Days Without Facebook
September 27, 2008
I took the risk, and quit facebook. Well, not entirely. My account is still active, my friends are still writing on my wall. But my status is blank. I don't know what your status is. I don't know what band you've recently added to your favorite music. I do not know what you are a fan of.
But, isn't that kind of the fun of living? Going up to a "stranger" or a co-worker or friend, and saying "Have you seen this movie? Have you heard this song? Do you know this band? Their last album was the best!"
Don't get me wrong, facebook has some good qualities. If you wanna make a party a week from now, you don't have to send out invitation. You don't have to spend money on stamps and cards. You can quickly add or subtract the number of guests, by looking at the Yeses.
But, I feel much freer. I mean, not entirely. I think if I completely got off the internet I'd feel more free than I do. But I don't *have* to keep my information updated. I don't *have* to see what you've updated on your page. All I have to do is find you, call you, e-mail you, and ask. What have you been doing lately? Oh really, I never knew that.
A real conversation. I text, specifically sent for me. Anyone can send out chain e-mails. Any online company can spam your e-mail. But a piece of information, just for me, from you. That is all I need. And all any of us should need.
Please, get off these social networks. Keeping in touch is great, but finding a personal way to keep in touch is better.
Keep A Melody
September 25, 2008
I'll admit, I wasn't exactly prepared.
I've never felt so dependent on two AA batteries…
Oh No
September 22, 2008
It moves. This is more than a hologram. This is a video player squeezed into a magazine cover.
The cover is thick, don't get me wrong. But we might be one step closer to the newspaper in Minority Report.
This is the second time I posted twice in one day.
Making Up A Rhyme
September 22, 2008
It's pretty bad. But I'm sure I've done worse.
Oh no, I am older. 24 today.
Oh No, Not Again
September 20, 2008
Oh no, I'm old.
Not quite, I actually have ~30 hours before actually being on this planet for 24 years. But OH MY GOD Has it really been that long?
September 22nd '07 – I worked.
October '07 – Going through the motions.
November '07 – The start of this blog!
December. '07 – I looked for apartments in Elmira – why??
January '08 – You call this devotion?
February '08 – A failed album – you call this devotion?
March '08 – Attentivism begins, dinners there end. Sniffle (see July)
April '08 – My EP is released; "Hey Pal" is recorded.
May '08 – Serial.Experiments.Lain.
June '08 – I now own a visual reminder of why I wanna make movies.
July '08 – My aunt passes away 😦
August '08 – Some real thoughts, for once
September '08 – Some real conclusions, for once
I don't feel a day over 21.5.
Chord Organ Blues
September 19, 2008
I cannot recall the first time I heard this song, although what I do remember of the day was that it was late at night, I was driving home from my local Barnes and Noble, and that was playing on the local college station. When I first heard it, I thought "Oh cool, Daniel Johnston." When I downloaded it, I thought "It's alright, but it's pure Daniel Johnston, so I'll keep it." Then, I didn't play it for the longest time.
Up until recently it just sat there in my iTunes library, with a handful of plays at the most. I was making an 'end of summer mix' about two weeks two early, but fitting cause the weather is constantly changing as it is. And, cause two weeks later, it really is the end of summer. I needed one other "noise" song, so I chose that. It isn't exactly noisey, but it isn't at all poppy or orchestrated or any of that radio-friendly stuff.
The song is really like 5 lines long, maybe, mostly he sings about his chord organ and his blues. Hence the title. But the more I played it, the more I liked it. The song could easily be one of my songs, with the bad but bearable voice, the simple progression and lack of melody. But there's much more to it than a home-made recording.
In one part he sings For every chord that is played/there is a reward in my heart that is paid/because my soul loves music/and it loves to hear it made. On the surface is sounds silly. The rhyme isn't particularly great. But think about it – the creative types are like this.
I'm slowly finishing up my first "official" short film, and I love filming it. I love telling people where to stand, where to set up the camera, etc. I love hearing new ideas and bouncing them off each other. I especially love the big laugh we have after someone fucks up and I have to yell "CUT".
I too love playing the ukulele, as I had made in that long list of loves. But I think that making movies, especially what I have a current plan, will work much better. Yes, I've made those one-minute spontaneous songs, in which I can both play and sing at the same time. But my voice is only bearable. My songs have a simple progression, and a near lack of melody.

Grocery list:
Get little sticky notes for reminders.
Dreams…. We bought a 4 bedroom home on some land, already fenced for our kids, and then our grandkids to come. Someday….laughter again of little lives as they JOYFULLY played in their OWN parents back yard. The same dreams my children had. Those plans changed.
NO ONE ASKED ME. NO ONE ASKED CHARLES. THERE WAS NO CONSULTING OF ANY OF US. BUT….. God doesn't "consult", we obey and then there is joy. We raised our two children there….a 3 year old. The other a newborn of 3 months. We all began leaving in 18 years. Two of us against our will because WE THOUGHT IT WAS BAD TIMING.
That is one of the many things Invisible Disabilities do. Sometimes the "invisible" APPEARS you are OKAY with it. YOU chose it. This was what YOU wanted. Maybe, but this wasn't the best timing at all. Our family grieved, dreams began crashing for those beyond Charles and I.
But as if some miracle happened….we saw the best choice….. we chose JOY.
My daughter was into photography. In our first apartment near the medical centers doctors was where we landed first. She practiced on me. Most of our furniture gone to those who needed it., we went back to the Honeymoon days. I LOVED that apartment. I was very happy there and the pool was perfect for the exercising. Those working at the complex praised me on- soon I was doing more, and faster. But soon, realizing we could not rent because of taxes, Charles found a two bed room condo. Joy and Sorrow. I loved the new condo. We were on an adventure on our favorite side of town. Many experiences we still cherish there with the young college students, etc….. BUT the day came when we had to chose JOY first, again.
JOY, Just get Over Yourself.
Now, speaking of JOY…. There are others JOY that is directly related to them but the offense wasn't theirs. It wasn't their fault. But… because they took vows seriously, they decide JOY or BITTERNESS.
He found the apartment first, then the condo. It was against what he wanted
also, but he knew our stress depended on our choices as we didn't have support way out in the suburbs. Interestingly enough, the few who helped … BELIEVED us. Many others had UNBELIEF and that is the scar that takes a long time to heal.
To be in need, desperately, and at times, not knowing if I would make it or not. And not really anyone to tell. Yes, it affected our marriage, but we work on that yet can still have joy in our hearts. This is the man who is my caregiver… the one with the smile.
One rumor: "he should just leave her…its no life for him." VOWS and JOY.
Some weight gain, hair a fright, rarely able for much, and few to talk too, we answered "fine". We, like other "invisibles", stepped through tulips, as judgment is high if you look to good. Why don't you do XYZ? Why aren't you going? Why, Why, Why. Never asking for the REAL truth, but basking in what appears. For us? Tears, laughter, isolation, visitation, ….. Joy and Sorrow. As a whole – WE CHOOSE GOD AGAIN. It's always been the best way.
Have you had friends/family put you in against a corner with no way to answer? Only because there had been no interest to understand in the beginning. Of course it hurt. It feels like there is a lack of love. It's all about everyone else that we hardly know and surely can't get to help them. But, yes, we are interested. We just can't take everything in at times. Somehow, it always seemed backward to us. To be concerned about things while death was near at times, yet to "afraid"(?) to ask. It's not strange, it's pretty normal. But when it is like God intended – friends, family near when things are bad….. I know for a fact it is a comfortable way to go, if "going" was happening.

How a student has to stay healthy while studying abroad.
You have gotten your admission letter and are good to go to join your favored university abroad. An idea strikes you, those conditioned muscles that you worked so difficult to gain, the precisely arranged diet, the wellness administration; would all these go for a hurl! Well, you are not the only one; a considerable measure of students who are set to think about abroad are tormented by such questions. This article offers tips on how you can remain fit and sound when you are considering abroad.
There is an old joke that goes on these lines:
"The most straightforward exercise to get more fit is to gesture your head from left to right and afterward ideal to left. You gesture your head when somebody offers you a remark!"
Well we are not brutal hearted individuals requesting that you starve but rather we have a few proposals that will help guarantee that your waistline does not grow excessively!
Stay away from sugary, high-caffeine drinks.
Instead of eating outside, take a stab at trying different things with cooking your own particular sustenance. Get a convenient cooker and electric acceptance stove and begin making your mark dishes.
Make sure you drink lots of water and remain hydrated!
Cut down on the admission of pre-prepared sustenance, a pizza eat-out and a glass of wine, sometimes is fine, yet don't make it a general propensity.
Indeed, the class task must be done, the low maintenance work on ends of the week is there and you have to get ready for the show club meeting also; student life is dependably busy.Remember, don't trade off on rest. At least seven hours of rest is the thing that specialists suggest; drinking a great many cups of espresso or Red Bull isn't going to 'give you wings' and will just prompt ulcers and heartburn.
University Gym:
Most colleges have their own particular recreation centres on grounds, which offer a scope of activity choices for students. Your student personality card will allow you access to the offices, check with the regulatory officer if you are required to pay any additional expenses to utilize the exercise centre. Prepare with kindred students who can offer your organization and tune in to the directions given by the wellness coaches. Don't over-do the preparation and draw a tendon or tear a muscle. If there is a swimming pool, agree to accept swimming lessons. Swimming is an incredible exercise that keeps one fit. If yoga classes are offered, agree to accept some yoga lessons and find internal peace.
Cycling and Walking:
If you live near your grounds at that point consider cycling or strolling to your class as opposed to taking a transport or a taxicab. Both strolling and cycling enable you to consume calories and are useful for your wellbeing. Urban communities like Amsterdam have devoted cycling tracks to empower the utilization of the bike. Furthermore, stopping a bike does not involve excessively space!
Turn off the TV, get wearing easygoing wear and investigate the nearby town with your companions by walking. A few colleges that are situated close to the ocean shore like the University of Sydney, Macquarie University, Pepperdine University and the University of California - San Diego allow students to surfboard and go swimming into the ocean! Organizations like the University of Arkansas, University of Colorado Boulder, University of Plymouth and the University of Cumbria are found near National Parks and offer an extraordinary affair to individuals who love to trek and investigate Nature.
Consider going along with one of the sports groups at your University. From football to cricket, b-ball to table tennis; the alternatives are many. Games additionally assume a noteworthy part in university sports. If you see yourself as a sprinter; have a go at going along with one of the running groups. If chosen, following the wellness regimen recommended by your sports mentor will keep you solidness and healthy.

The Weybridge side made a perfect start, dominating their hosts and putting the first points on the board.
Vandals remained on top throughout the first half, scoring 15 unanswered points as Sandown & Shanklin struggled to find a way through the visitors' defence.
The second half was in sharp contrast to the first as the home side finally found their form after the interval.
Sandown & Shanklin scored several times to move within two points of Vandals' tally, while the Weybridge team was unable to add to their earlier scores.
As the final whistle approached, the two sides' defences became all-important as Sandown threw everything they could at Vandals in an attempt to take the lead.
Weybridge Vandals, meanwhile, fought hard to put some daylight between the two teams, only to be thwarted by some hard-tackling from the Hampshire side.
As it turned out, Vandals failed to score again but held firm at the back to hang on for the win.
The result is the Weybridge side's third win on the trot and comes during their most successful spell of the season.
After an indifferent start, Vandals have made steady upward progress through the London South West Four table so that they now sit fourth behind leaders Cobham, London Cornish and Warlingham.
However, they will have a tough task on their hands if they are to continue their upward progress on Saturday when they take on highflying London Cornish at Brownacres.
Ten points separate the two sides and, even if they win on Saturday, it is unlikely Vandals will be able to catch Cornish to finish second with just three games remaining.
But, Warlingham are only three points ahead and a good end to the season may yet see Vandals finish third.

Some books have the pesky habit of tearing us apart.
Viciously. But it's okay, we love them for that. They make us happy! It's a reminder that we must be out of our minds to like suffering like this.
As an example, there's those books that take the thing you call trust, half destroy it, and leave you for dead. Then, if they have a sequel, you want it, because why not die a bit more?? It makes sense. It really does. Somehow.
Which means that I have some good news for you! These books? They'll all betray your trust. And most of them have sequels. It's a bunch of trust issues just waiting to happen, which I bet you won't mind.
Also, I've added a list of things you won't be able to trust again after you read them, just for thoroughness' sake. Because isn't that what you read for, to become a paranoid hermit who can't leave the house and therefore gets to read more? Yes, I know all your dark secrets, don't ask how I found out.
RED QUEEN by Victoria Aveyard
Red Queen has one of the most mind-blowing endings I've ever read. Sometimes I think maybe I should have seen it coming… But… No. The book lied to me. And *HE* lied to me. And since this is a spoiler free list, there isn't much more I can say, except for WHYYY, I BELIEVED IN YOU, *PERSON'S NAME*!!
It doesn't stop there, because Glass Sword (sequel) has even more backstabbing, and it basically teaches you not to trust anyone at all*, like, ever.
"Anyone can betray anyone."
Things you won't ever trust again: people in general, and anything Victoria Aveyard writes**.
*Some exceptions are made, to be fair
**By which I mean that she'll make you care and then kill everything you hold dear
MADE YOU UP by Francesca Zappia
Why just doubt people, when you can doubt reality itself?
Alex has paranoid schizophrenia, which means you can never completely trust what she thinks is happening. She can't trust it herself. And still, you end up believing everything! Then something big turns out not to be real, and you're not sure anything else is real, and what is reality, even, because you don't know anything anymore.
"Sometimes I think people take reality for granted."
Things you won't ever trust again: scoreboards, this book's ending, fanatic principals, red lobsters, pet snakes and people who trim peonies.
THE STRANGER GAME by Cylin Busby
The Stranger Game really keeps you on your toes. All that suspenseee, you know the whole time that something's wrong, but what if it isn't, except it has to be, and… WHAT? Here's an ending you won't expect. Because people are keeping big, crazy, dark secrets from you, and you never know who you can trust.
So just… don't trust anyone.
Things you won't ever trust again: I'm not sure what this would be. People's sanity, maybe. That's something you should doubt in this book.
A DROP OF NIGHT by Stefan Bachmann
Getting to fly to France to explore an underground palace no one's set foot on for centuries only sounds fun till you're trapped in it and almost get killed by a thousand things.
And it doesn't exactly happen by accident… so maybe be wary of field trips from now on?
Things you won't ever trust again: underground places, pills, overseas trips paid for by multi-millionaire companies (because that happens to everyone, all the time), French dukes and any room with old-looking things that might be booby-trapped.
INSURGENT by Veronica Roth
Here's another book with painful betrayal that will leave you in shock. It's so… HOW? WHY? NO!!
We're all just trusting, hopelessly gullible people. Agh.
"People, I have discovered, are layers and layers of secrets."
(Kay, I just got sidetracked reading quotes… I love this book so much. *dies*)
Things you won't ever trust again: […]dskjfkejfkadt (Spoilers made illegible. Sorry about that.)
THE OUTLIERS by Kimberly McCreight
Wylie is suspicious about many things. But the people she happens to trust lie a lot. A LOT! And well, she does quite a few stupid things that I don't know how she ever thought were a good idea, but… When she gets fooled, you get fooled too. This is the kind of book where you keep thinking you finally know what all that's happening is about…!! Just to find out you're wrong. So, so wrong.
But hey, if your best friend texts you saying she's in big trouble and you think going to find her instead of telling someone is the right thing to do… Please don't trust yourself.
"They'll get inside your head…"
Things you won't ever trust again: nice people at gas stations, tiny town cops, abandoned campsites and research assistants.
MY LADY JANE by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton and Jodi Meadows
It's about time you learned not to trust blackberries. And people with eagle noses. They can end your life. Or your reign, if you have one. Or your cousin's beheading-free existence. So next time you're about to eat a blackberry tart, or, I don't know, marry someone off to a horse because your most trusted counselor says so, please read this book, and then just don't.
Also, history is full of lies.
(Needless to say, this is a pretty crazy book. And, okay, it doesn't do much to betray your trust. But it's the best, so reaaaad it! Just do it. It'll be good for you.)
Things you won't ever trust again: blackberry pies, history books, English dukes*, would-be queens, and the senseless notion that ferrets can't dance.
*Don't you see, there's something wrong with dukes
CARAVAL by Stephanie Garber
As you read this book, you're going to think you know what's going on several times. But don't be fooled. You. Do. Not.
There are so many twists, and so many tricks, and EVERYONE is unreliable. Or most everyone. Exceptions are rare. Which means you're gonna be lied to, righhht up to the end.
Things you won't ever trust again: performers, reckless sisters, top hats, dress shops and carousels.
THE MORTALITY DOCTRINE Series, by James Dashner
It'd be hard to choose just one book from this series to list.
You get the whole package of trust breaking things – betrayals, lies, mind games, cover-ups, shattered plans and huge plot twists. Also, another chance to doubt reality! Except this time it's not about an unreliable narrator. It's the whole world you can't trust.
"Who knows the true definition of real?"
Things you won't ever trust again: helpful men in the woods, virtual reality, AIs, security agencies, maybe whether you're human or not (are you?).
ENDER'S GAME by Orson Scott Card
I almost didn't think of listing this book, and I don't know how, because… It's the master of all lies. So cruel. It'll destroy you.
AND YET I LOVE IT SO SO MUCH shh control yourself.
So if you want a book with mind games, strategy, brilliant people, destroyed childhoods, a whole bunch of shocking things and cruel secrets, just grab this one. Yeah, go do it now.
Things you won't ever trust again: humans. That's it.
THE MAZE RUNNER Series, by James Dashner
Another series by James Dashner! Of course, this is because he's a genius at fooling people, not because I'm obsessed with his books or something. Heh… Why would you think that?
Anyway. Where do I even start. There are so many betrayals, broken promises and lies in these books. Mind games, people lying their way into your head, cunning, madness, and death! How can you ever trust anything in a book, when all your favorite people just. Keep. Dying?? The Fever Code is particularly evil and mind twisting, because even though it's a prequel, it manages to destroy whatever you believed in all the other books. Which is why, you can't make the mistake of reading it first. It'll ruin everything. Stick to publication order. You've been warned.
Things you won't ever trust again: the government (dun dun dun dunnn), mazes, ironic acronyms, and anyone who ever wants you to change your name.
And as a bonus of things you can't trust there's… Me! This list does not have 12 books. The title's a lie. Muahahaha, I'm clearly evil.
(I gave you two series to make up for it though. Because I'm evil and nice.)

Solution for "Can't Turn On Hibernation on Windows XP SP 3"
Posted by: * on: January 22, 2009
There's some people who couldn't turn on their hibernation option on Windows XP SP3, like my past experience. If you was trying to turn on hibernation, and there's pop-up windows similar like this :
Windows can't reserve your hibernation file
Hibernation file can not be written because it is still used
by other program
After i disscuss it with support.microsoft.com, there's a possibilities that i had installed Alcohol 120% before i did turned hibernate on. So, if u had some problem with me, u can uninstall Alcohol 120% first, restart and turn on hibernation, and then you can install Alcohol 120% again.
Okay then, good luck 😀

Another much changed Premier side fell to an Old Boys-University side that dominated forward play in the first half.
Missing no less than five regular starters, our team were challenged by a side who were buoyed by Hurricanes prop Ben May and flanker Adam Hill. The students controlled possession and territory to take a 26-0 lead at the half.
A stronger performance in the second half meant the Red Machine outscored their opponents 17-7, but this to little too late.
The side will look to bounce back strongly against Paremata-Plimmerton next weekend.

|Menores de Edad
|Draca, Kragujevac
UNITED IN DIVERSITY #2, Draca | VSS08 | 2018-07-23 - 2018-08-05 | CULT,MANU | Age: 15 - 17
This workcamp is organized by the NGO "Interaktiv" from Kragujevac, the regional contact point for the promotion and organization of workcamps of Young Researchers of Serbia. The Association "Interaktiv" organizes workcamps since 2013. So far, eight camps were organized, with the participation of more than 70 foreign and 40 local volunteers. The association is engaged in the development of youth activism and volunteering in its region.
Work: The aim of the project is to promote unity of youth in spite of their cultural differences and different backgrounds. In todays world a big problem is losing a national identity because people are forgetting old traditions, national costumes, songs, dances, languages...We believe that the world would be a much more interesting and richer place if we learn how to cherish these differences and learn about them. That is why we want to enable these young people to learn about different cultures and preserve this priceless knowledge. Camp will promote richness of diversity in culture and tradition between participants of the camp. Through the workshops, volunteers will learn about the importance of preserving of culture and tradition and exchange information about different life styles in the world, national songs and dances, habits, costumes and symbols. Beside this, it will be presented Serbian national heritage and costumes of people from the countryside in which volunteer can participate. Workshops will include activities of promoting tolerance of national differences as something that unites people, breaking prejudices about different nations. In the second part of the camp, volunteers will prepare part of the programme for traditional manifestation in Draca with local young people, and present it on the stage for people from village. It will be some Serbian costumes and dances. Beside this, manifestation will promote richness of diversity in national symbols. Volunteers will prepare and present their countries as a part of manifestation. Part of manifestation will be national dances and songs of professional ethnographic groups from Kragujevac too. Camp is a mix of workshops and manual work. During the morning, it will be activities of painting the stage and benches, as well as arrange the courtyard of the museum by collecting grass and dressed leaves. In the afternoon it will be organized workshops.
Accomodation and food: Volunteers will be accommodated in rented house in Draca with kitchen and toilets. Volunteers will sleep on mattresses, so please bring your sleeping bag. Food will be prepared by hosts, with support of volunteers.
Location: Draca, Kragujevac
Location and Leisure: Camp will be organized in Draca, village 8 km far from Kragujevac, in central Serbia. Village Draca is geographical center of Serbia, there is Ethnographic museum and orthodox monastery from 17th century. In the village live about 800 residents.
