the nice times rolled on. My friends got on the road back to WV Sunday morning and Heather and I took off for her house where I spent the night. It was nice being there and seeing the new deck, all the various animals, chickens, goats, etc. Two of their goats had just had babies - one goat had one and the other had twins which is fairly unusual apparently. They sure were cute, but the poor mama of the twins looked pretty done in! I have to confess to being so worn out by the weekend's festivities that I really don't remember all that much about Sunday except that it was nice being there. And since I seemed to be starving to death, I convinced Heather that we should go to this place up the road where they have fried chicken that I'm sure is quite unhealthy but I like it. We brought it back to the house and I ate three pieces which I've never done and wolfed it down like I was afraid someone was going to take it away from me.
Monday was real nice. Heather had told me she wanted us to go to Frederick, MD and poke around in the historic section of town so we did that. Lots and lots of shops although being Monday, a lot of them were closed which was a disappointment. I'd like to go back sometime on another day. But we had a wonderful lunch at a place called the Tasting Room. Delicious food and a nice glass of wine. Then we walked down a street of delightful old row houses with such a pretty church midway. Came across a little store (actually not so little) that had all kinds of neat things. The other shops we had been in were clothing stores and that's fine but I don't really enjoy shopping for clothes. This was sort of a gift-type shop with all kinds of neat things. Walked back to the car and after all the treating Heather had done for me, I treated us to a Starbucks - last of the big spenders!
I took some pictures of the row houses and the church so here they are.
Well, actually - this is the first photo - Heather and Sophia had just given their wee puppies a bath. Took me four tries to get a picture of Sophia where she wasn't posing but I thought this one turned out pretty nice.
Now, the buildings...
Monday evening I was again so wiped out that it sort of passed in a blur. Actually, it's only been the last day or two that I began to feel like I wasn't going to fall asleep walking around. I imagine it was partly the time change. Why we still do that is beyond me!
I left Monday afternoon to go down to January and Maggie's delightful little house and spent the night there which was nice. I loved my Saturday party but it wasn't really for "visiting" so it was nice to have an overnight with each of the kids. I took these pictures as I left Heather's. Maybe their theme song should be "oh give me a home where the chickens (and turkeys!) roam..."
I got to January and Maggie's in time to enjoy some delicious pulled chicken bar-b-q that January had made along with ruffled potato chips. You might wonder why I mention the chips but it's because I have been seriously addicted to them all my life and since losing weight have tried not to eat them except for occasionally when I'm getting a sandwich at a restaurant. And...ruffles are my favorite. So that was a little feast for me. We were all fairly tired out (the girls had worked all day and I was still somewhat in zombie mode) so it was a relatively early night but nice to spend some time with them.
I drove over to Chris's on Monday to spend the night there before heading home. He took half a day off. We went to the container store which there are none of here in WV. Well, at least not Huntington and they're fun to browse through. There was a Crate and Barrel at the same small mall and they have such nice but fairly overpriced stuff. We had dinner at a place called Chees-tique which started out as a cheese shop and then expanded into including a small restaurant. Tasty food and nice wine.
And that is pretty much it. Seeing all the kids after the party was a nice way to come down from the party high and I got home to Huntington nice and early in spite of driving through various blizzard type squalls once I got into West Virginia.
Now my next big excitement will be Heather, Sophia and Johnny coming here to bring Johnny over for spring break. I've been pondering what he and I will do for entertainment and going to Cincinnati or to Columbus keep coming to mind but I'd hate for the poor guy to think he spent his whole spring break in a car!

If you DO comment on a post, please don't be disappointed if I don't post it. When I started my retirement travels - the first of which was my solo overseas trip to Italy in 2009 - I wanted a way to share it with family and friends as it happened. Hence, "My Travel Journal". However I realized I wouldn't always be on a trip and wondered what to do with the blog in between times. My daughter pointed out, wisely, that travels can also include trips to the kitchen to try a new recipe, trips to visit family, trips to my neighborhood Starbucks, or a fun day trip with a friend. You're welcome to join me on any of these journeys!
P.S. I've set up separate pages for each of my major trips (see tabs above).
I recently added an "Italian Word a Day" thingie which shows up at the bottom of every page. You see the word and can click to hear it pronounced. I've been enjoying it and I think my accent is improving as time goes by.

I want to move to Fredrick too!! What a charming street. I sort of think I've been there but maybe not; I don't remember anything looking like that. Perhaps too many steep stairs for little old ladies? Sure do love Heather's farm and sure do think you had a fab birthday and lovely delights for winding down. xoxo

And don't forget... the best birthday present you gave yourself - your new iPhone Bumper/case! ;)
Sure was a fun weekend, for everyone!

Glad you had such a wonderful birthday! You certainly hit some special places and definitely some fine dining spots. (Yum, Jaleo!) Did your sister tell you that I took her to the Cheesetique near my house? Wonderful photos of a very happy group of friends and family!!

New York City officials
are tracking trucks carrying debris from the World Trade Center in an effort
to prevent theft, according to a published report. More than 120 trucks have
been fitted with the global positioning system (GPS) units, the New York Post
reported. The new security move is estimated to cost the city more than $100
City officials and several
other agencies, including the FBI, will monitor the trucks as they haul debris
from the site. If a truck strays from its intended route or speeds its engine
can be disabled by remote. The device also emits a signal if the transmitter
is tampered with.
The system is being put
into place after more than 250 tons of scrap metal from ground zero was discovered
last month in three unofficial dumps on Long Island and in New Jersey. Authorities
believe scrap metal and other debris on its way to the Fresh Kills landfill
in Staten Island was diverted to the other yards so it could be sold. No arrests
have been made, but the investigation is ongoing.
All debris is sent to
the landfill so investigators can sort through it for any evidence or human
remains. The city also plans to start taking photos of the trucks as they
leave the site and again as they enter the landfill.

Update: Looks like this is just about confirmed. The news page reveals the following in its page source code:
"

Pre-order Destiny at select retailers and receive admission to the Destiny Beta. Play it first. Become Legend.
"
That seems to be confirmation as good as any. Judging by that, preordering Destiny will most definitely grant you beta access on your console of choice. It would be silly for such a large company to launch a huge game and not do a stress test on the servers anyway. Bungie also previously did a public beta for Halo: Reach to test things out, so this certainly isn't anything abnormal for them. This is monumental news to fans of Destiny and Bungie alike.
As for when the beta will launch, we still don't know. We'll continue to update as news rolls out.
Original post below:
The Destiny fans over at Reddit have discovered something very interesting over on Destiny's official website.
Users of the website who tried to access the sites "news" page via an abnormal link were greeted with a broken, improperly formatted page, at the top of which shows a new link to a "Beta" page. The link, which is currently dead and points to nothing, appears to be an early sign that Bungie will be releasing a beta of the upcoming game soon. This would make sense considering that Bungie has been calling for signups of its User Research Beta Program recently via its Facebook and Twitter. Considering this is sure to be a multi-million dollar triple-A title being published simultaneously on four different consoles at once, a public (or private) beta is definitely something Bungie needs to make sure there are no terrible hiccups on launch date.
Destiny, Bungie's first non-Halo game in over 12 years, is being published by Activision.
I've Reached (get it?) out to Bungie and Activision for any comment, and will report back if and when I hear from them.

Extended services - don't miss out!
Lots of families across England are making the most of extended services accessible through their local schools. If you haven't heard of them, or haven't used them before, we don't want you to miss out. So here's the lowdown.
Extended services are available for all primary and secondary school age children, their families and the local community. The services can include: affordable childcare (primary schools only); study support; sports, arts and music activities; parenting advice; family learning and access to specialist health and social care services.
Click on the video below to find out more about how you and your family could benefit from extended services.
Amita Sharma and family benefited from after-school clubs, including hula hoop fitness and Bollywood dancing
Kelly Young and family benefited from swift and easy access to local health services
Marcelle McFarlane and family benefited from a computing course and other services at her local school
Stuart Allwood and family have also benefited from swift and easy access to health and social care services
Find out how extended services have helped other families
Many mums and dads are shouting about how great the after-school and holiday clubs are.
The childcare is safe and affordable, and children get the chance to take part in activities including sport, drama, arts and crafts as well as exciting trips out.
There's lots for parents too, such as parenting classes, family learning sessions, information sessions about education and school and links to local and national advice and support.
Insia Ishaji, 21, from Birmingham, started making the most of extended services when she was 13 and now she's helping to deliver extended services to other children and young people.
"Until recently I had no idea that schools could offer families so many extra services. We're all benefiting from the services and support available and have so much fun together. It is also reassuring to know that help and advice is there when it is needed."
Parents can also access specialist services for their children. Schools work closely with other agencies such as health, housing and social services to offer parents help with their children's behavioural, emotional and health needs.
Many schools also offer access to facilities for wider community use such as sports halls, gyms, IT services and classrooms for further education courses.
What's available near you?
Extended services are now available at 95 per cent of schools, so to find out more:

Over the years Canadians have taken to the streets in protest for scores of reasons. Most often, politicians are the source of public ire, and so scarecrows in their likeness have faced the flames. At other times, the more creative members of unruly mobs have worked artful metaphor into the performance. A handful of protests over a hundred years of Canadian history prove that economics was often a cause that brought the torch to the tinder.
|Revolutionary Lego Men protest British Taxation
without Representation.
Cooperman Brick Foundry
An early account of symbolic arson arose in the colony of New Brunswick when the British mercantile system was teetering on the breach. Timber became a profitable export after Napoleon's European blockade halted the supply of Baltic wood to Britain. After the War of 1812, the lumber barons of New Brunswick were quick to press authorities for a preferential tariff against non-imperial timber so they could still turn a profit.
|"View of the Town of St. Andrew's with its magnificent Harbour and Bay", ca. 1840.
Coloured lithograph by William Day (Day and Son Lithographers) after a sketch by Frederick Wells. Credit: Library and Archives Canada/C-016386.Family Heritage
An 1831 description of pyrotechnics in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, shows the great enthusiasm for news of a British ruling which maintained the tariff.
A boat said to be Baltic built, was filled with a cargo of combustibles and ... towed into the harbour, where she was moored. The Effigy of a distinguished supporter of the Baltic interests was suspended from the mast with a paper in his hand bearing the superscription "Baltic Timber Bill" - several pounds of gunpowder were concealed under his waist coat, and there was a large quantity in the boat. The combustibles were set fire to, and in due seasons, poor ______ was blown to atoms." (Cited in Graeme Wynn, "On the Margins of Empire", Illustrated History of Canada, 2007, p.199)
The protectionism of Sir John A. Macdonald's National Policy proves tarriffs were still a pressing issue after confederation. In the Conservatives last electoral victory with The Old Chieftain, reciprocity in trade (free trade on many goods) was on the receiving end of a symbolic scorching. Historian D.J. Hall noted that when John A. Macdonald's Conservatives won the 1891 election, supporters in Brandon, Manitoba, hit the streets in a victory parade. The procession included the burning of a bin of "Liberal" rubbish labelled "Unrestricted Reciprocity." Hall notes that "the Liberals were consoled when, despite the Tories' best efforts, it resolutely refused to ignite." (Hall, The Young Napoleon, p.50)
|Glenbow Museum and Archives File number: NA-3561-1
Title: Social Credit rally poster, Fort Macleod, Alberta.
Date: July 2, 1935
To celebrate the victory they piled up packing cases, boards, and poles in the main street and built a huge bonfire. They made a straw man, to represent the former member and defeated U.F.A. candidate for Bow Valley, Jonathan M. Wheatley. Around this effigy they wrapped the election posters of all the opposing parties, and heaved it into the flames with a pitchfork. This act, they explained, was not to be understood as an attack on Mr. Wheatley. They meant nothing personal: they were burning the monetary system. (Irving, 332)
Mr. Wheatley's reaction to his stunt double's use in this fiscal allusion is not recorded. The crowd's sentiments suggest the specious dogma of Social Credit financial ideology had taken a firm grasp of the Albertan psyche. Wheatley's treatment shows there could be sinister undertones to such pageantry, with the threat of violence directed at the effigy's mold.

Computers are an important part of daily life for millions of people worldwide. They are used to manage people's money, control the flow of aircraft, and even run hospitals. People also use computers for entertainment, communication, shopping, and to work. Computers are as common and essential to the modern world as automobiles. To better understand computers, it is beneficial for users to learn about basic computer terminology.
Account – A computer account, or user account, is a workspace for an authenticated user to use computing resources and services. Access to accounts relies on authentication methods such as login names and passwords.
Anti-Virus – Computer software that is designed to watch out for, prevent or remove virus infections. It is analogous to a body's immune system.
Backup – A means of copying computer data to a secondary location. People do backups of their data for archival purposes, or to protect against data loss.
Bandwidth – The speed or potential at which data travels or can travel over a network.
Blog – Short for "web log", a blog is a journal or diary that exists online. Blog entries are called "posts."
Cache – A storage area for data that the computer frequently accesses. The function of a cache is to speed up access to the most commonly requested information. This, in turn, increases the speed and performance of the computer.
CPU – Short for Central Processing Unit, the CPU is the actual brains of the computer. All computer programs are run by the CPU.
Crash – A situation where computer software no longer works properly. When a program crashes, it may appear to freeze or shut down unexpectedly. When an operating system crashes, the computer may temporarily stop working entirely, or even shut down and reboot. A crash typically results in the loss of data.
Download – Download is a term for retrieving or importing data from another computer or network.
Drivers – Software that enables computers to interact with internal or peripheral hardware such as hard drives, monitors, computer mice, and other devices.
Filesystem – A system for storing data in an orderly and efficient manner. Like file cabinets, filesystems separate data, give chunks of data labels, and organize it for easy storage and future retrieval. All modern file storage systems use some kind of filesystem.
Firewall – A security system that is designed to filter incoming and outgoing network traffic according to the whims of the computer user or network administrator.
Graphical User Interface – An icon-based interface that enables users to interact with software, hardware and data without having to type complicated commands.
Hard Drive – A storage system that uses rotating platters to store data. The platters are covered with a magnetic substance that holds data even when the device has no power. For this reason it is called non-volatile data storage, or persistent data storage. Hard drives are a form of random access storage, because it can retrieve data at any spot on its platters, on demand.
Hardware – The various physical parts of a computer system or network. Examples include but are not limited to routers, disk drives, keyboards, and computer memory. Hardware can also be defined as anything in a computer that is not software. Hardware and software must work together for a computer system to function.
Hotspot – Hotspots are places where users can connect to wireless networks.
Internet – The worldwide collection of computers and computer networks. Any data that travels from one network to another; typically crosses through the Internet.
Keyboard – A method of computer data entry that is analogous to the classic typewriter. Keyboards have letters, numbers and other characters imprinted on keys to inform the user of what character will appear when they type the given key.
Memory – Memory is another word for data storage. System memory is the fastest version of computer memory that remains only as long as the power is on. For this reason it is called temporary or volatile memory. Hard drives are another form of memory, although they are slower and non-volatile in nature.
Monitor – A visual display, or form of output device that displays data for humans to see. It is analogous to a television. Like televisions, monitors can come in the form of Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) displays, or Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs).
Mouse – The mouse is a digital hand-held pointing device that computer users employ to move a virtual pointer across a display device, which is usually a computer monitor.
Network – Any system in which two or more computing devices are connected and can communicate with each other.
Operating System – The operating system is the core software that makes a computer actually run. It is the essential foundation for all applications, hardware drivers and other computer code, that runs on a given computer system.
Optical Drive – Optical drives use laser beams to write data to optical disks, or to read data. Modern examples of optical drives include DVD-ROM drives, CD-ROM drives, and Blu-Ray drives, as well as CD/DVD/Blu-Ray burners.
Password – A password is used in conjunction with a login name to authenticate a user and establish their authorization to use a computer, its resources and its services. It is analogous to a passphrase.
RAM – Short for Random Access Memory. Data can be read from or written to RAM at random. RAM can be volatile or it can be persistent.
ROM – Short for Read Only Memory. It is a form of permanent memory and it cannot be changed, only read.
Router – A router is a device that directs packets of data between computer networks. Routers are one of the critical hardware components of a computer network and by extension the Internet, the other component being the computers themselves. They are connected to computers using network cables.
Software – Any set of instructions that can be read by computers. Software comes in many forms, including hardware drivers, user-accessible programs called applications, and even the operating system itself.
Upload – When a user sends or exports data from their computer to another computer or network, it is called uploading.
Virus – A computer program that is designed to run on a computer and copy itself to other computers. Viruses almost always do some kind of damage, and are designed to be difficult to remove.
Web Browser – A computer program that people use to explore the World Wide Web.
Wireless – Short for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), or wireless network access. Wireless networks enable users to access networks or the Internet itself without the need for a network cable.
World Wide Web – The collective system of hypertext documents and other data that is accessible over the Internet, is called the World Wide Web, or the Web. The Web is typically accessed by web browsers.

Hi everyone!
How was your weekend? I guess you are all overwhelmed with parties and events happening in Aalborg these days? I remember when I came here.. I was really looking forward to the weekends, when I could meet some of my friends and have a good time. Nowadays I feel, I am kind of grandma. Chilling on the weekends home in my sweatpants. Not too interesting, is it?
This weekend, I put my pyjamas away and on saturday afternoon, I joined some of my friends, taking part in the event 'Løb for kræft 2012'. In the other words, it is a running marathon that supports children with cancer in Aalborg hospital. The tickets were 150 DKK but the money were spent on a good cause, to support the fight with cancer by running, or simply walking 6km distance. You can check the website here for more information :)
As I was writing in the previous posts, Danes love sport. And they also love to help others. So now you can imagine why there was more than 500 people running in this marathon. I really think it was a great initiative to organise this kind of event. Oh, and I forgot to mention that before the running marathon, we danced all together to the loud music. After the marathon there were some koncerts and zumba classes for everyone. Perfect!
I am really happy I took part in this, eventhough I have terrible pain in my legs. - Why? Hahaha, because I did not prepare for 6 km run, it was my spontanous decision and I gave as much as I could, and I promised myself - I am not gonna stop, even when I will not have energy anymore. Guess what! And I didn't. I finished the marathon, being very proud of myself and after that I went to work for the whole night. That is why my body is exhausted! But, hey - I am trying to be a Viking.
While running, I took a picture with my phone (because I was checking my time anyways) of our school. It is in the back of a girl in green, but I thought it would be a great connection between the marathon. Maybe one day UCN Students culd make one? :)

The annual Christmas Concert presented by Gauteng Opera has become a tradition in Gauteng and this year these concerts will take place in Gauteng Opera's own Tin Town Theatre situated in the historical part of Johannesburg – Ferreirasdorp. Once again, Gauteng Opera will ring in the Festive Season with the beautiful and all-knowing Christmas melodies audiences came to love over the years. This year Gauteng Opera will get back to basics and the concert will be accompanied by Andrew Duncan on piano and keyboard only, but we believe that will not dampen the Spirit of the Festive Season.
These special concerts for the whole family will include favourites such as Joy to the World, O come all ye faithful, White Christmas, The first Noël, Inkosi Jesu, O Holy Night and more unknown, but beautiful melodies such as Susani, Gesu bambino, Ave verum corpus, to name a few. All the artists of Gauteng Opera will take part in the concert and we have our young junior-trainees and a few members of the ad hoc chorus also joining a very special event.
As in past years' tradition, Gauteng Opera will once again donate all collected presents to a deserving Children's home, so we implore our patrons to bring an unwrapped gift for children from the age of new-born to 18, between the value of R100 to R150.
Come and experience the stirring melodies of the Festive Season with Gauteng Opera!
Dates: Friday, 01 December at 19:30, Saturday, 02 December at 19:30, Sunday, 03 December at 15:00
Venue: Tin Town Theatre, Ferreirasdorp (for directions, type in "Tin Town Theatre" on Google maps)
Price: R100 throughout
Discounts: Special discount of 10% per ticket for block bookings of 10 people and more.
Bookings: Samu Dlamini on 011 067 8005 / email@example.com

In order to solve the problem of becoming an owner-operator for $5,000, I am getting the following equipment:
– SmallHD AC7 (LCD, not OLED)
– RedRock MicroRemote WEFF
– Nyrius HD Transmitter
– Flycam Flujo
I'm keeping track of my expenditures, and I think I'm going to be overbudget, but not by much. Here's my reasoning:
– I have a SmallHD DP4, and am constantly impressed by their products and their support. The AC7 comes standard with HDMI, and I can add SDI capability to it in the future. Plus, when not on my rig, it will be a nice additional monitor.
– The RedRock is cheapest. Simply put. I've been reading some good and bad reviews of it, and as much as I would like to get a Bartech or Preston, the MicroRemote system interests me more. Plus, I like the idea of adding the MicroTape eventually.
– I found the Nyrius a while back, and have been wanting to try it out. I've since seen some reviews of people using it, and honestly, I'm just looking to get on that bandwagon before anyone else.
– The bones are there, and it's pretty cheap.
The aforementioned student who bought the Flujo is going to sell it to me for $1100, which is considerably less than he paid for it (once you include shipping.) The best part is, he's got a set of spare parts, which is letting me tear into it without completely destroying the system (yet) so I at least for now have a functional rig, and then a set of options for adapting.
Next post: the overhaul.

I'm pretty sure that I've found the culprit of the bubbly crud on one of my tomatillo plants. It's only on one plant, and only on a couple of leaves, but I was worried that it was some kind of virus or something that might spread to my other plants. Turns out it's my fault -- I've been over-watering these plants.
I'm living and learning. Every damned day.

I wish I could have been at the Northpoint Reunion. I am currently in Enkenbach Germany taking care of my 4 month old Grandson while my daughter works at Rhine Ordnance Barracks.
Yesterday, Aug 20, 2011 we took a drive to Donnersberg and Northpoint. We were unable to drive up to the Signal Tower at Donnersberg but had a view of the tower. We drove to Northpoint from Donnersberg. The Post is closed and the Front Gate is locked. The Buildings are in good repair and there are more Buildings than I remember. The Fence is intact as is the Fence around the Ammo Depot to the North. The villages have grown and there seems to be more Forest areas than I remember. An Autobahn now than runs from Kiaserslautern to Frankfurt, so old Hwy 40 is sometimes hard to find.
Weierhof has grown. The 6 Army Apartment Buildings are being used as is the Weirehof School and the Weierhof Theater. The Weirehof Clinic and Officers Club have been replaced by Apartment Buildings. I could not find the Weirehof NCO Club, so I think that has also been replaced.
Sembach is now an Army Post. MPs will be moving in from the Heidelberg area. Sembach is our nearest Commissary, so we sometime make a quick dash for Groceries. We have friends in Hochspeyer who take their Children to Sembach for School.
The local Military Newspaper is: www.kiaserslauternamerican.com if you want to checkout what is happening in the Kiaserslautern Military Community.
I sent a few Northpoint pictures to Ron B.

So you have just acquired a name for an interview for the place of a Financial Consultant / Financial Planner / Management Trainee with a Financial Services / Financial Advisory Firm. One of Steve Jobs most remarkable legacies is the 313 patents which can be linked to his identify , including the ornamental design on the staircase of many Apple stores. But, if one has the enterprise aptitude, constructive attitude, right community and hardworking, the monetary rewards can actually significantly exceed an everyday monthly salary. Certified Financial Planners are required to finish 30 hours of constant education during each two-year interval. Be grateful you aren't fifty alone unemployed with no insurance or unemployment benefits and in a profession with 0 open jobs. Two years of research and coaching at a neighborhood school has many career advantages.
Franchises value a lot of money since you are basically paying for an established name which is nicely-acknowledged by individuals. By undergoing the superior CFP applications is a brilliant transfer to be able to help enhance your career in the discipline of economic planning. As with any financial professional, it is your duty to make sure that the individual you are considering is an efficient match for you and your targets.
Before making an investment decision you need to learn the product disclosure assertion of any financial product referred to in this publication and speak together with your monetary planner to assess whether the advice is suitable to your particular funding goals. Sometimes, he even has to take down evil financial masterminds and save the day for his nation or agency!
It is kind of widespread for monetary sales consultants with profitable employment experience to launch their own companies as impartial financial advisers (IFAs). You want to be confident that you simply choose the appropriate kind of advisor that can assist you make important monetary decisions. Are certification marks owned exterior the US by the Financial Planning Standards Board Ltd (FPSB).
Of these, one-third noticed their overall wealth stay the identical and even decline after receiving an inheritance , apparently on account of poor financial choices. Worse, over the previous decade practically all the Baby Boomers had retired, and most had been sick-ready to fulfill their monetary wants throughout retirement. See inquiries to ask a financial adviser for speaking factors you can use to verify the cost of financial advice. Based on these realities, Gamma is tough to search out for most monetary planning or funding administration purchasers.
First, by turning into a monetary advisor itself means you can add worth to your clients' lives by giving them sound financial advice. I hope this does not come throughout the improper approach, however if you take a look at it from the purpose of having as much of your hard-earned cash go to the household that truly liked you, rather than meting out massive sums for charges and taxes to folks that know you as a customer number, I know I would want that for my children.

STRATIGRAPHIC FORMATION: Solnhofen Plattenkalk (limestone)
LOCATION: Eichstatt, Bavaria, Germany
DESCRIPTION: This is an exquisitely preserved, positive-plate fossil of the Jurassic era waterbug Mesobelostomum deperditum, the largest waterbug of the Solnhofen plattenkalks, preserved within a trapezoidally-shaped slab of the world-famous Solnhofen limestone of Eichstatt, Germany.
This complete fossil is well-situated in the upper half of the intact slab and centered just to the right upon the matrix in the ventral posture. The head is beautifully preserved, as are the thorax and abdomen. Three pairs of legs are clearly defined, and even the symmetrically deposed impressions of the abdominal segments are readily evident. The detail is exquisite, only matched by the rich golden hue of the fossil, which is gracefully marginated along the right edge by fine orange-brown dendrites. This superb example of the Jurassic era Mesolelostomum deperditum would greatly distinguish any collection of rare, Jurassic era insect and bug fossils of the world.

A study examining consumption patterns in California produces some remarkable results.
(ed:..this is why the alcohol industry and the pill-pushing industries are so against cannabis law-reform – it will hurt their market-share – it's as simple as that..)
Coming home after a long day at work has become synonymous with pouring a big glass of wine but is this long-held American tradition changing?
California-based medical marijuana technology company Eaze just released a new report which shows that alcohol drinkers in California are turning to marijuana as a safer more natural alternative for alleviating everyday stress.

Networking is something a business owner needs to do. It's really important when you run a business solely on the internet. When you don't have an actual store for people to come and visit, it is a little different and that's where networking comes in to play.
Networking online is done differently than it is in a person to person, face to face event. I feel networking online is harder to do. Some people have a harder time feeling comfortable using a person online because they never talk to them over the phone or meet them face to face.
Networking online can be a little tricky. In this article you will learn some tips on how to network online successfully.
To network online you need to join networking groups. One group that I use all the time is Ryze.com. Ryze is free to join or you can pay for more options. Either way will work just fine. Ryze is full of groups that you can join that pertain to your field or business. Joining these groups and making posts is how you network.
The best way to network is to post answers to questions people ask, post your own questions and respond to those that answer, follow the daily posting guidelines and post as often as you can with regards to those guidelines, and if you write articles, post those when they fit in.
When you are a member of a network such as Ryze, you are given a page that is yours to do what you want with. I recommend you add a little about yourself and then get into your business. Make sure you give a clickable website link to your business. You can also add a button or two, but don't get carried away.
Once you have this page in place, you are ready to visit other pages. At the bottom of each group you are apart of you will see the names of people that have recently joined that group. You can click on those to visit other pages or you can click on posts and visit the page of the people that post replies to those posts. Each page that belongs to a person that is apart of Ryze has a guestbook. One of the best ways to meet new people and find out what they are all about is to stop by and say hi in their guestbook. Do not list your business name or website. People will visit your page if they are interested in checking out what you have to offer. A lot of people will go to your page and sign your guestbook in return. You can also sign the guestbook of those that sign yours first.
When you network in person you get business cards from people. When you network online you don't have that ability. So you make note of their site and what it is about. When you get to a point where the networking is going strong, you can ask the three questions below.
1. What type of business do they run
2. What type of person is an ideal customer or client
3. How will these people benefit from their service or product
The best way to keep all of this information straight is to either create a spreadsheet or use a rolodex.
Now that you have this information, you are ready to start referring people. You do this the same way as you do in person. You can also watch the posts in the groups you are apart of. If someone is asking for a referral, go to your spreadsheet or rolodex and see if you have met someone that can help them with their need. Either send the information to the person asking directly or if you are telling the person that can help them, tell that person to tell the other person that you referred them. The other option is to tell them both.
If you continue this process on a regular basis, you will meet a lot of great people and you will start to see an increase in referrals from other people. Networking is a great thing to do, so jump in and get started today!

"I mentioned in class before that it felt like much of the static in my brain died away, so I could see what I needed for my next step. Some of my vital force has returned; for the past two weeks, I've eaten a good breakfast and lunch-taking the time to nurture myself in that way (which is a biggie, because although I've never struggled with eating disorders, feeding myself with good food has always seemed exhausting to me). The first 2 weeks of taking the formula felt like a release for me and I have received many insights to things that previously I would have gone around and around in trying to figure out. I really loved the format of the class and both Jen and JP are great teachers!"

When you notice me
leading the pack,
if you dare step up
Earthy by nature, she stays connected to her inner authority and creativity by developing routines that align her with the body, her higher knowing, and a connection to mother earth. These practices help her to manifest a lifestyle that is congruent with her authentic passions.
Conservative Capricorn values tradition. Her standards for relationships are high. She may be cautious about opening the door to her heart because she wishes to cultivate connections that offer her consistency, grounding and commitment. Her need for privacy may give rise to a struggle with vulnerability, which can result in feelings of loneliness. It may be healing for her to cultivate relationships with people who are older such as mentors, elders, and bosses.
We live in an overly-driven technological and media-defined culture that reveres earning money for the sake of security, status, and materialism. This intention leaves many people feeling enslaved to professions that leave them out of touch with their body's natural rhythms and functioning in workplace environments where they are unhappy, drained, and feel de-valued.
Cancer is the most sensitive sign of the zodiac and needs to create a nurturing nest and haven to insulate herself from an insecure world. Like a turtle or a crab she erects a hard shell in order to protect her delicate underbelly. When she embraces open-hearted listening to the intensity of her emotions she is able to develop new levels of empathy, emotional awareness, and maturity that can lead to greater intimacy.
Sagittarius is the archer. She keeps her gaze focused on the horizon and thrives when accumulating new experiences which enable her to acquire higher vision. She is seeking to develop faith in life's purpose and meaning. Her pursuit of knowledge leads her to eventually become the wise teacher.
She is also the missionary who can become self-righteous and dogmatic when she becomes too attached to her version of truth. Fiery and easily restless she may struggle with commitment and accepting limitation. She sometimes overestimates her competence leading her into situations where lack of caution can sabotage her.
In what areas of life have you become stuck in a rut?
Where do you feel restricted and restless?
What activities would you like to engage in that can lead you to expand your worldview?
How can you renew your sense of freedom, faith and trust?
To learn more about the Moon, Flower Essences & Astrology you can purchase my tele-class "Flower Essences for the Moon and the Sacred Feminine" here.
Here are some flower essences that support these Sagittarius themes.
This chatty and curious student is on a quest to learn and gather a diversity of perspectives so she can break free from limited patterns of thinking. She enjoys relationships that are based on proximity such as with siblings, neighbors and housemates. As an open minded messenger she is often clever, sociable, and witty. Similar to a transistor radio following a signal, she follows her intuition by pursuing her eclectic interests which may include short trips, classes and workshops. Her path of inquiry can seem erratic and incongruous but it eventually leads to patterns of knowledge that make sense holistically once all the parts of the puzzle are gathered.
During this technology age of change, quick access to information exchange and mental expansion many of us can become become distracted, restless, anxious and consumed with indecision. During the Gemini Moon it in can be a good time to slow down and examine how you might cultivate mental stress reduction and centering techniques that allow you to hear and express your own inner truth and voice through activities such as meditation, automatic writing, journaling, sound healing, and singing. My housemates seems to love karoake and binaural beats for this reason!
Scorpio is the sign of the psychologist, the healer, the sex worker and the investigator. Instinctual and tenacious she thrives off intimacy and emotional intensity. She has capacity to heal others through her ability to offer deep insight and concentrated attention. She is known for her depth of perception, focus, and ability to endure. Attracted to the taboo, she can be drawn to anything mysterious, exotic or dangerous. She needs to avoid self destructive tendencies and instead choose constructive risks that lead to a sense of empowerment.
This watery intuitive sign values intimacy and wants to merge with others in order to grow into a new experiences and understanding of the self. Passionate and resourceful she is exploring her own relationship to power and thrives by exploring the undercurrents. Scorpio wants to transcend limits, share resources, and exchange energy in the effort to incorporate in herself new ways of being that offer regeneration. She is a lover of politics, psychology, and a master of crises.
Taurus is the earth mother, the yoga teacher, the gardener and the entrepreneur. Sensual Taurus finds comfort and peace in her body by connecting to nature and nourishing food. She values serenity and appreciates being able to follow her own rhythms. Loyal Taurus enjoys routines and consistency. Like a cow chewing grass in an open field she cultivates emotional steadiness, patience and contentment.
This security oriented sign has a clear sense of her values and needs which determine her self esteem and self worth. Taurus is the savvy manifestor, she persists by managing her resources to become self sustaining. She takes the time to build a solid and practical base.
Negative Taurus can express herself as materialistic and stubborn. When she is fearful she may become overly attached to the material realm seeking a false sense of protection and control through stockpiling belongings. When this happens she can becomes resistant to healthy changes that allow her to receive new life force. Constricted and stubborn she becomes stuck in the mud.
Aries, the brave and pioneering warrior is learning to trust her insticts to initiate action. The feisty Ram enjoys situations that challenge her to develop courage, strength, and independence. The raw primitive energy of Aries in its highest expression is passion, vital life force, and enthusiasm.
Negative Aries energy can express itself as an impulsivity that alienates or harms others. When anger is feared or repressed it can give rise to unhealthy, violent, and aggressive shadow expressions. Withholding, passive aggression, explosiveness, and controlling behaviors can be a result of misdirected fire forces.
In its positive form Aries, the spiritual warrior, is able to initiate leadership for the highest good. She chooses her battles strategically and knows how to authentically communicate her needs. She gracefully declares clear boundaries freeing herself to focus her attention on assertive action rather than projections.
The Aries moon can be a good time to evaluate how you assert your will. Vigorous exercise, martial arts, singing/shouting, artistic catharsis, and writing are all activities that can release fire.
Virgo wants to develop practical skills. She may be interested in work that involves health and the body such as yoga, complementary medicine, bodywork, nutrition and healthcare. Virgo energy is about mastering discernment, efficiency, and attention to detail. She enjoys working on challenges that require precise thinking such as herbalism, crafting, technology and accounting.
While Virgo's need to be helpful is endearing. She can sometimes get "stuck in the trees" without being able to "see the forest". When this happens she can become petty, overly critical and fussy and may begin to pick on herself or others. Virgo is driven by the quest to make things whole and the need to develop order through examining what is not working and by creating strategies for improvement. However, she needs to remember to relax and let go of impossible standards of perfection that can lead to workaholic patterns and burnout.
During the Virgo Moon it can be a good time to analyze your habits and daily routines. You may want to organize your home or workspace and reflect on how you can develop more nurturing routines and satisfying methods for approaching work and service.
This compassionate champion for the underdog is often drawn to professions and relationships where she can be of service. However, it is important for Pisces to be conscious not to neglect her own needs and develop the practice of knowing her own boundaries. While Pisces yearns to experience a sense of selflessness and fusion with others she is truly of service when she a can maintain a strong sense of ego strength and give from a place of wholeness. This way she avoids being a martyr/victim and can draw from her visionary ability to offer an intuitive sense of forgiveness and knowledge of universal love as a healing gift.
During the Pisces moon it can a be a great time to honor nonlinear time, fantasy and your intuition. Take some time to retreat into stillness, silence & meditation and become aware of your subtle connection to higher worlds and renew your sense of faith.

Posted on the [T@H] Listserve 12/23/02
The question:
Hi all, I need some help.
I have just won a KHS Milano tandem in the Recumbent & Tandem Rider magazine sweepstakes!
My question is whether I should keep it or sell it.
The response about says it all:
I would dump it.
If you don't, one of your kids might love it and then you might get stuck riding with them for thousands of miles throughout their teenage years. That would cause you to have a closer relationship with them than you might prefer and you might miss out on some of the natural teenage rebellion that most families endure. Worse still, their interest in cycling might spill into their adult years and they might become your friend as much as your child and you might get stuck riding with them as an adult.
Chuck, been there done that Harmon
December 25, 2002 - A note from Mark:
Chuck purchased his Burley Duet when his daughter was 11 and has shared more than 10,000 miles with her on a tandem. His daughter, now 22, has enjoyed bicycle road racing for four years with some cross and mountain riding as well. She is on a college cycling team.
It never ceases to amaze me that folks that enjoy riding will not make the time to share their passion with their loved ones, especially their children. I have heard numerous repeated excuses ranging from "my kid would never do that", "it costs too much", "my time on the bike is mine", etc. I have yet to find a single child that does not like to ride a tandem with their parents or someone else and if such a child exists, I would bet that the problem is not the child but the so called adult as they are doing something terribly wrong as a captain. Bill McCready's #1 rule "The stoker makes no mistakes" is of paramount importance without regard to the size or age of ANY stoker. IT WORKS!
So… some will refuse to invest in their relationship and their children and no doubt save the money for a future use. And what are the chances of needing that money for expenses incurred that may have been avoided had the child been afforded the opportunity to have a better relationship with their parents? Hmmm….. food for thought. I for one will invest in my kids first… especially relationship building opportunities, tandem or otherwise. And what is the real cost? Really. Think about it. The dollar value spread over a period of years is minuscule (read dirt cheap) and generally much lower than just about everyone spends on some other hobby or sport that does not afford the same benefits of relationship building offered by spending time on a tandem together.
My hope is that my two precious daughters and I will experience the same benefits as those received by Chuck Harmon and his daughter. We are off to a great start!
Thanks for posting such a great perspective Chuck!
Off my soap box now!

There are many interracial sites for white men where they can find love going beyond the constraints of colour, nationality, or race.
Let us see some the best interracial sites that are there.
"I realized I had to step out of the box because dating in New York City was hard," she said. Shaw was a business owner, beat cancer, and was surrounded by great girlfriends – but to find the last piece to her puzzle she had to switch it up.
"I was dating African American brothers, and I love my brothers but it's just that, it didn't happen for me.
"Brown skin and darker skinned black women are actually getting asked out quite a bit by Caucasian men." And it appears the trend is growing.
Age is an important factor in attitudes toward interracial dating.These options also help in finding like-minded people easier and faster as they have databases, which make the process of finding a soul mate much easier.These dating sites provide an excellent opportunity to connect with someone who shares the same values and commitment to interracial dating as you do.Interracial Dating Sites: Many people get love at first sight, but sometimes it happens that someone special is not near you. With more and more people giving preference to character over colour, interracial dating sites come into the picture.To find that special person who is somewhere in a distant land, these interracial dating sites are of great help.Together, these trends help explain the increase in expressions of tolerance toward interracial dating in recent decades.

Development problems
Basic problems of human development – on a micro-level:
- Lack of learning about the real needs of those who wish to develop. The conceptual level for aide-work is too distant from the needy populations.
- Wrong partners in development. The official donating structures tend to overlook corrupt officials in developing states. The private help-industry mostly partners with local elites who rarely care for needy populations.
- Excessive administrative personnel-cost is being declared as project-cost. Too little support reaches those, who really need it.
- Problematic sponsorship for children. Dilemma between effective advertising with individual children and practice beyond individual children.
Basic underlying problems – on a macro-level (in states and globally):
- It is more than doubtful, whether any aid program inflicted on the daily life of needy people is really desirable for true human development. Fighting the reasons behind poverty and misery can rarely be achieved through some healing programs. Political and administrative structures and framework-conditions are not sufficiently serving the common good but individual interests of powerful groups and states.
- Internationally agreed economic, ecological and social regimes are not matching – and: The United Nations are not created for people but for states.
- Basic truth
One basic truth on micro-levels:
Nothing can BE developed. All develops naturally from inside and below.
One basic truth on macro-levels:
A staircase must be cleaned from top to bottom.
For humanity to survive in peace, we must first develop a cosmic consciousness towards oneness of all in diversity and then promote the political creation of a legally binding fair and sustainable global order for a world in balance in the spirit of compassion and solidarity.
In the meantime, remaining idle is no solution:
Emergency aid and support for self-help initiatives of deprived people are intermediate needs.
Useful healing instruments are well structured micro-credits and micro-grants – formerly financed by the German development ministry, now (where possible) from private sources.
- and early basic child-centered education.
Peter Hesse – 2012

71% of Americans use emojis, stickers, GIFs when texting or using mobile apps/
Tenor, a mobile GIF sharing platform, has released results from a recent survey conducted online by Harris Poll1 among over 2,000 U.S. adults, revealing that 7 in 10 Americans (71%) use visual expression such as emojis, stickers or GIFs when texting or using mobile messaging apps.
These survey results coincide with the 10th anniversary of the first iPhone release, which has played an instrumental role in making mobile messaging ubiquitous. Among those who use visual expressions when texting or messaging:
- Seventy-seven percent believe the people they frequently text/mobile message better understand the thoughts and feelings they are trying to communicate when using visual expressions rather than words alone.
- Sixty-nine percent feel more connected to the people they frequently text/mobile message when expressing themselves using visual expressions in addition to words.
- Fifty-nine percent are more comfortable expressing their emotions using visual expressions in mobile messaging than voicing them in phone conversations.
- Roughly two in three visual expression users (65%) use them in texts/messages with others to express their personality or emotions and over half use them with the intention to make conversations more fun (56%) or to make the person they are talking to laugh (51%).
- Among women who use visual expressions when texting/mobile messaging, 54% do so to express happiness -- compared to 42% of men.
- The majority of 18-44 year olds who use visual expressions believe GIFs help them express emotions better than either emojis or words (both 64%) in text/mobile messages. Three in five 18-44 year olds (62%) expect to use GIFs more in text/mobile messages in the next 12 months than they do now.
(This survey was conducted online within the United States by Harris Poll on behalf of Tenor from May 24-26, 2017 among 2,057 U.S. adults ages 18 and older, among whom 1,386 use visual expressions when texting/mobile messaging. This online survey is not based on a probability sample and therefore, no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.)

On the morning of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I sat on the steps of City Hall, thinking about everything that made Dr. King a transcendent of his time and a beloved treasure of our time. I thought about my hometown, predominantly housed by minorities, local politics led by minorities, and not one event on the calendar to honor Dr. King's day.
We must hold onto King's Dream. A breakfast with your colleagues isn't enough. Get out there and be of service to the City of Trenton. Check out the video below of our day.

The Child's Purpose
The child's reason for, and way of, working
is different from ours. We adults will usually
choose to do things the most efficient and
quickest way. A child, on the other hand, is
working to master the activity and to
practice and perfect her abilities.
There are many physical, emotional and
mental values of this work. Through these
activities the child learns to be independent.
This is important because there can be no
intelligent choice or responsibility at any age
without independence in thought and action.
She learns to concentrate, to control muscles,
to focus, to analyze logical steps and
complete a cycle of activity.
