After a peaceful, restful, quiet night in Lindsborg, we awoke to very threatening clouds covering the entire sky, horizon to horizon. Problem? Not for the intrepid S&D team! We were off again, heading north and after a while east to the place where Jacob and Selma Jacobson were married — Clay Center, Kansas.
We easily found the Clay County Museum and Diana was soon busily working with Cathy who was a great source of information. Cathy managed to locate my grandparent's marriage certificate and census information. But it turned out that although the marriage certificate had been obtained in Clay Center, they had actually been married in Clyde, not Clay Center, which is in Cloud county instead of Clay county.
To find out more details we needed to go to Concordia (what's with all the C's?) and check out the museum there. This required driving west again and also north for a total of about an hour.
Turned out the person at that museum had only been there for a couple of weeks and couldn't help us much. Fortunately the woman she replaced is now doing genealogy research for a very reasonable hourly rate, and she is going to do some digging for us and report back.
We ate lunch at a local place — Kristie's Diner — and after lunch we made reservations at a local motel and then returned to the museum to check out a great collection of local items. While we were inside, it did rain, fairly hard but not for too long.
After checking into our motel, and disconnecting the teardrop, we drove the 15 miles to Clyde to see the actual marriage town. Clyde is a small, pleasant town with a three block brick paved main street lined with buildings which look 1930ish. Almost everything was closed, but we did get a chance to stroll around a thrift shop and chat with the owner.
We drove around town, enjoying the variety of home styles and front yard treatments, stopped for a picture of the water tower, and as we were leaving we discovered a very dangerous place (see below).
On the drive back we investigated a stone arch bridge about 100 yards off the road which was built in 1899 and restored in 1991. The bridge carried all the traffic until a new road was built in 1920.
Back in Concordia we settled into our room for a quiet night. Tomorrow we start heading east again. See you then!

An extension of the Take Charge campaign, the Hire an Owl effort targeted students, alumni, parents and employers to
- highlight how Temple readies its students for the real world,
- showcase the value of a Temple degree and
- address the national dialogue about the worth of a university degree.
Hire an Owl demonstrates that employers looking for someone with the skills and know-how to make an immediate impact should turn to Temple. For the campaign—executed by our branding partner, 160over90, and our internal creative teams—digital, radio, transit and outdoor advertising in the Philadelphia, Harrisburg, New York and Washington, D.C., metropolitan areas highlighted the stories and ambitions of Temple students and recent graduates.
Additionally, the Take Charge campaign website directed potential employers to Temple's Career Center, where they could be connected to the students represented in the campaign or find other job candidates with the qualities celebrated in the campaign.
To continue the Hire an Owl momentum, SM+C complemented billboards and display ads with video vignettes of the campaign's subjects that were posted online, and news and feature stories that appeared in Temple Now and Temple magazine.
In addition, takecharge.temple.edu links directly to Temple's Career Center, which is available to aid employers in connecting with—and hopefully hiring—both featured students and other accomplished Owls.

In a recent opinion by the Fourth District Court of Appeals, the court affirmed a trial court order reducing an award of attorneys fees to a wife because of her refusal to accept a reasonable settlement offer. Hallac v. Hallac, No. 4D10-4450, 37 Fla. L. Weekly D517a (Fla. 4th DCA February 29, 2012). Interestingly, however, the appellate court reversed the trial court's award of attorney's fees to the husband for the same conduct. Why? Citing Rosen v. Rosen, 696 So. 2d 697 (Fla. 1997), the court acknowledged that the trial court may consider results obtained in making a fee award pursuant to Fla. Stat. s. 61.16. However, when assessing fees against a party as a sanction, the failure to accept a settlement, without other vexatious conduct, does not justify an award of fees under Chapter 61.
While attorneys' fees are available in domestic cases based upon a showing of need, financial need is not the only factor to be considered. The Florida Supreme Court has said that, under s. 61.16, the financial resources of the parties are the primary factor to be considered. However, other relevant circumstances to be considered include: 1) the scope and history of the litigation; 2) the duration of the litigation; 3) the merits of the respective positions; 4) whether the litigation is brought or maintained primarily to harass (or whether a defense is raised mainly to frustrate or stall); and 5) the existence and course of prior or pending litigation. Rosen, 696 So.2d at 697.
Prior to Rosen, the First District held in Aue vs. Aue, 685 So. 2d 1388 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997), that "there is no authority for denying attorney's fees in dissolution cases solely for the failure to accept and offer of settlement," and bolstered the point by noting that Florida's offer of judgment statute specifically excluded dissolution of marriage proceedings from its purview. In light of Aue, the Fourth District held that Rosen allowed for a dimunition of a fee award based "uon the results obtained," and affirmed that part of the trial court's order. However, with respect to the award of fees to the husband, who made no showing of need under s 61.16, the court held that Rosen did not permit such an award despite the determination that the wife's refusal to accept the husband's final settlement offer was so unreasonable that litigation beyond the offer was baseless and without merit.
The Fourth District pointed out that Rosen gives the courts discretion to deny fees to the spouse for vexatious conduct, but stated disagreement with the Fifth District, which has interpreted Rosen as authorizing an award of attorneys fees against a spouse for similar conduct, even where the recipient spouse has the greater ability to pay. (See Elliott v. Elliott, 867 So. 2d 1198 (Fla. 5th DCA 2004)("We disagree with Elliot to the extent that it suggests that Rosen can be applied to an award of attorney's fees in favor of the spouse with the greater financial ability to pay.") The Fourth District acknowledged that an award of fees to the spouse with the greater ability to pay can be granted by the trial court, but not under Rosen. Rather, such fees are awarded under Bitterman v. Bitterman, 714 So. 2d 356 (Fla. 1998), a case that recognized the trial court's inherent authority to prevent inequitable conduct by awarding fees against a party who has exhibited egregious conduct or acted in bad fatih. To make a fee award under Bitterman, the court must make an express finding of bad faith and include facts justifying the award. Moakly v. Smallwood, 826 So. 2d 221 (Fla. 2002).
Because the trial court in Hallac made no finding of bad faith or other egregious conduct other than the wife's refusing to accept the final settlement offer, the Fourth District reversed the award of attorney's fees against the wife in favor of the husband. Practitioners should note: this case distinguishes the analysis required for determining a fee award under Fla. Stat. s. 61.16 from a fee award granted as a sanction for vexatious conduct.

The Radiological Impact From Radioactive Contamination That Is Not Readily Detectable Using Beta-Sensitive Survey Devices
R. M. Nicoll
Over 60% of the dry active waste (DAW) generated in a typical commercial reactor can consist of nuclides that are not readily detected using conventional beta-sensitive detectors. This has generic implications for the commercial power industry since the accepted industry practice for releasing radmaterial and personnel is based on beta-sensitive detection. It has been the industry assumption, that as long as a significant quantity of beta-emitting isotopes is present in plant waste streams, the unauthorized release of non beta-emitting contamination is unlikely. A technical basis is presented that can be used to test the validity of this assumption. This article presents a revision and enhancement of methodology previously published by the author.
This abstract was presented at the 34th Annual Midyear Meeting, "Radiation Safety and ALARA Considerations for the 21st Century", Regulatory Considerations Session, 2/4/2001 - 2/7/2001, held in Anaheim, CA.

China will cut import duties on material items and metals, including steel items, to 8.4 for every penny from 11.5 for every penny, powerful from November 1, the back service said on Sunday.
Beijing has vowed to find a way to build imports this year in the midst of rising strain with a portion of its greatest exchange accomplices, for example, the United States.
Prior in July, China decreased import duties on a scope of shopper things including clothing, beautifiers, home apparatuses, and wellness items to satisfy promises to additionally open its buyer advertise. Import levies on wood and paper items, minerals and gemstones will be sliced to 5.4 for each penny from 6.6 for each penny, the service additionally said in its announcement.
Normal import taxes on more than 1,500 items will be brought down to 7.8 for every penny from 10.5 for every penny, the service said. "Diminishing taxes is helpful for advancing the adjusted improvement of remote exchange and advancing a more elevated amount of opening up to the outside world," the service said.
China's bureau has reported plans to cut levies on hardware, electrical gear and material items starting on November 1, as the nation props for a heightening exchange war with the United States. The general tax level will be diminished to 7.5 for every penny in 2018 from 9.8 for each penny in 2017 therefore, the bureau has said.

Series: The Beginer's Guide to Camping
- An Introduction to Camping
- Your First Day and Night
- Choosing Gear for Beginners
There are some essentials you'll need to take. As you gain experience camping you'll modify your list to suit your camping style.
If you're primarily camping in cold weather you don't need to worry about windows, you won't need them. For everyone else though, the tent you choose should include lots of vent windows. These windows are made out of a tightly woven screen to keep out bugs but allow air flow. Managing air flow is important; during sumer months you'll want as much free flowing air as you can get, but during winter you'll want to close those windows to block the wind and hold in heat.
There are two types of window coverings.
- Zippered windows sewn into the tent on one side and zippers on the remaining side. This style works great, but the extra material is always attached to the tent which could matter if you get serious about backpacking.
- No built in window covers at all. These tents instead rely on the rain fly to cover windows. This is nice on those mid-summer backpack trips where you want to save a few ounces of weight by leaving the rain fly at home.
Rain flies are important for more than just covering your windows. Their primary purpose is to protect the tent from moisture like rain or dew. Even with a light dewing you'll find that touching the inside of your tent's wall will cause that moisture to wick inside. But, with the rain fly installed, that moisture collects on the fly leaving the tent wall dry underneath. Some tents include a rain fly that extends out from the tent's doors allowing you to stow gear outside the tent, but under the fly. This configuration is my favorite. I stow items like chairs, and other gear under the fly leaving more room in the tent.
Sizing a tent can feel misleading. When a manufacture says a tent will sleep three, what they mean to say is it will sleep three 5′ 2″ guys spooning. So, subtract one from the manufacturer's suggested count and those two guys will be snug, bumping elbows. A manufacture suggested four person tent will sleep two 6′ guys comfortably.
The Kelty Trail Ridge 4 is a great tent for two large guys. Kelty makes a 6 person version of the same model as well.
Sleeping Bag
Bags are rated for temperature. Pay attention to these ratings because their spot on. Taking a bag rated for 60 degrees on trip in Minnesota in November just might ruin your camping career forever. Likewise a 30 degree bag during July in Texas can have the same effect.
There are two styles; square and mummy. The mummy bag is shaped, just as the name suggests, to be as form fitting as possible. The pros are this means less material so less weight and it will warm up quicker since there's less air to heat. On the negative side though some folks just can't stand to be that snug.
The square style far more comfortable (a statement of personal preference if there ever was one). I prefer the square bag for two main reasons:
- You don't feel like you're in a cocoon,
- and you can store your shirt and pants in the bag with you in the winter months so they're warm in the morning.
The Colman Dunnock is a great starter bag.
Camp Kitchen
The camp kitchen you build will be based on your cooking style. Generally, you should consider including:
- Camp plates — these are flat dishes with high sides for serving soups, chili and stews.
- Cups — Tin coffee mugs are a favorite since they'll handle any beverage you can through in them, even hot coffee.
- Various utensils — include knives, spoons, forks, serving utensils.
- Pots and pans — you should have at least one small pot and one fry pan.
- Camp stove — If you're going to camp in a burn restricted area, you'll need a camp stove. These stoves use propane bottles.
- Soap — Bring some bio-degradable soap.
- Trash bags — Pack in, pack out is the old adage and you should adhere to it. Bring a sack or two for collecting your camp trash in. Large plastic bags can also be used for rain ponchos.
- Food — Plan each meal before you go and take exactly what you need.
Camp Furniture
Different types of camping allows for different kinds a camp comfort. If you're camping with easy access to your car, bring along some folding chairs and maybe even folding camp table.
If you're backpacking then bring a tarp for sitting on.
For those car camping trips I like the canvas folding style chairs like this one from Colman.
First Aid Kit
You don't have to be a super paramedic, but you should have a decent first aid kit along. Things happen when you least expect it and help is not just a phone call away. If one of your party cuts themselves you need to be able to at least disinfect the wound. Worst case you'll need to know how to get the wound to clot so they don't bleed out as you carry them back to civilization.
At the least your first aid kit should include some disinfectant, antibiotic cream and band-aids. You can get a more comprehensive kit fairly cheaply though so purchase the best bang for your buck. Mountain Series from Adventure Medical Kits are highly recommended kits. Walmart also has some decent kits that will work in a pinch.
Knowing CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver is important as well. Check with your local Red Cross or hospital, they'll usually have a course or two every year.
Putting it all Together
Experience and common-sense will help you decide what gear to take on your next camping trip. Think about each part of your day, what activities you'll be doing and the weather. If you plan your trip before hand you'll have time to enjoy your trip without worry.

As regular readers already know, I was stuck with my head in the books preparing for some exams while some interesting things were going on in the rest of the world, topics where I would have loved to have thrown my 2 cents into the conversations going on as well. First it was John MacArthur, then Mark Driscoll and then the Pope. So yes, I know that most of you have moved on already, but bear with me as I play catch up.
This post sits a bit heavily on me as I am well aware that some will disagree strongly with it. I'm not one for talking up divisive issues or trying to sound like I know better than anyone else. So with that disclaimer out of the way let's continue. For those who have not yet heard about John MaCarthur's new(ish) book, or about the Strange Fire conference his church held. They basically came out and saying more or less what was previously said in his earlier book "Charismatic Chaos". Stating that the gifts of the Spirit ceased with the closing of the writing of the bible. He draws your attention to the extreme abuses and blatant forgeries happening on television and ultimately ends up throwing the baby out with the bath water. Now my intention here is not to give a theological rebuttal of his paper thin arguments as many have already done that. I recommend checking out some of them over at http://mennonerds.com/ . Rather, I want to share here the 4 places I see people coming from regarding the work of the Spirit in the 21st century. I will also be sharing a story in an upcoming blog of a miraculous healing that was close to home. The proof is in the pudding so they say. Anyway, let's look at those 4 observances I mentioned earlier...
1 - Those who have not experienced the gifts of the Spirit and operate under counterfeits.
This is pretty much the guys people like John MacArthur are highlighting in their books. Some of these people are just stirring people up into an emotional frenzy and by the time the smoke machines are switched off and everyone has gone home, nothing has changed except the church goers are left either disillusioned with God or they feel guilty about their "lack of faith". There are others out there who are doing genuine signs and wonders but they are not from God. There are some videos on TB Joshua which are genuinely scary. Pushing people over from 10 meters away who are not even facing him, people throwing up and urinating worms and all kinds of weird stuff... Then to a much lesser degree there are also those who have simply being taught to imitate the gifts and it's just normal for them. Meetings where you actually go and learn to speak in tongues or prophesy. I was in those sorts of circles as a new Christian and it hurts me to see the Emperor with no clothes type story going on in so many churches today.
2 - Those who have not experienced the gifts of the Spirit and have to adjust their theology accordingly.
Maybe it is a bit harsh of me to make such a generalization, but this is certainly where a lot of cessationists fit in. It's never wise to make a stand on something and then start building a doctrine around those ideas. Proof texting always follows...To see guys as smart as John MacArthur making the weakest of arguments is pitiful as well as harmful to the body as a whole. History is saturated with stories of Gods amazing power and to take the glory away from Him and attribute it to anyone else is to tread on very thin ice.
3 - Those who are filled with the Spirit and are living out the book of Acts today.
One book everyone should read is The Heavenly Man . There are many others as well but that one really spoke to me as it has to many others. What God has being doing in the Chinese church as a whole for the last sixty years is truly remarkable. Check out this 4 part documentary on Youtube , the bible is not just a history book made up of fanciful stories for a past generation, the similar stories (to the book of Acts) happening in the world today are among the greatest evidences that Jesus is alive, well and Lord in the present.
4 - Those who believe in the gifts but experience little "signs and wonders".
I especially created this group for myself, although I am sure that I am not alone in it. I have seeing many wonderful and legit healing's, have heard God speak distinctly and clearly and the fruits of following that voice. I have seeing Muslims baffled at how a man could speak Arabic to them without learning it. Many things, but in truth, it's far from the norm and nothing like the constant testimonies I hear from friends in places like India. This concerns me sometimes, why is Gods power not manifest in the West like He is in Asia? I can only guess. Maybe, in our comfort we are not as reliant on Him for our needs to be met? Maybe, its because we are more private in the Western world and the gifts are corporate in nature and purpose aren't they? I think there is truth in both, especially in the latter. I would love to hear from others who have dwelt on this before for there insights as I work through it myself...
But for now, me and my house will continue to pray for the sick and to desire the gifts for the edification of the body. I will be cautious, but not cut off.

IEEE Technology Winners in 2005 Include Hybrid Cars
Published: 04-Jan-2005
NEW YORK, Jan. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Municipal broadband wireless networking, broadband television from telephone companies, battery-operated cars and microchip wafer polishing for more powerful semiconductors have been identified by the editors of IEEE Spectrum as "winners" in a new special issue highlighting the best and worst of global technology.
For the report, the magazine's editors considered more than 50 possibilities and selected winners and losers for 2005.
"There are lessons to be learned from both sides of the win/lose equation, including how projects fail even when they start out looking great on paper, and what makes a successful project tick," said Glenn Zorpette, executive editor, IEEE Spectrum. "To pick the winning and losing projects, we judged their feasibility and whether or not what they are trying to accomplish is worthwhile."
The results showcased some new and exciting technologies that have the potential to make major impacts on web surfing, computer use, television watching and automobile driving. The losers included technologies designed to thwart terrorists, improve energy use, help students learn science and protect intellectual property.
IEEE Spectrum's technology winners are:
- Las Vegas's Metro Mesh Network pilot program to create a citywide broadband mobile wireless technology. This robust and easy-to-deploy technology will allow the city to serve a wide range of needs, from emergency responder communications to traffic light management. This new network is being developed by Cheetah Wireless Technologies, MeshNetworks and the City of Las Vegas Traffic Engineering Department.
- Electrochemical Mechanical Planarization from Applied Materials, Inc., Santa Clara, Calif., whose goal is to make possible the next-generation of smaller, faster, cheaper microchips.
- Internet-Protocol Television, delivering dozens of channels of video programming through a relatively low-speed broadband connection (2.2 megabits per second). This technology allows telephone carriers to compete with cable providers using their legacy copper networks instead of an expensive optical-fiber upgrade. The technology is under development in Zurich, Switzerland by Swisscom AG and Microsoft Corp.
- Ultracapacitor Development Project, under way in Yongin, Korea by NessCap to reduce the cost of ultracapacitors and find new markets for them. Ultracapacitors are superior to batteries in many respects and are expected to be used increasingly to improve the performance of hybrid-electric and fuel-cell cars.
This year's losers were selected based on several factors. The technology must have negative outcomes that outweigh its positives. Its poor chances of success are evident because the project is at odds with trends in its niche. Or the project's technology didn't work or seems to have a good chance of not working.
The losers include electronic passports being developed by the U.S. Department of State, among others, to thwart terrorists and the Bavarian Solarpark created to partially replace Germany's nuclear and fossil fuel power plants with homegrown solar power. Additional losers are Digital Aristotle from Vulcan, Inc., Seattle, an artificial intelligence project that creates electronic tutors for science students; and AACS (Advanced Access Content System), being developed by IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Panasonic (Matsushita Electric), Sony, Toshiba, Disney and Warner Bros. Studios, to copy-protect next-generation DVDs.
To come up with their final lists of winners and losers, the IEEE Spectrum staff relied heavily on the global resources of the IEEE, a professional organization whose members include nearly 400,000 engineers, computer experts and technologists.
The January 2005 issue of IEEE Spectrum is available by subscription, on many newsstands throughout the Northeastern United States and online at http://www.spectrum.ieee.org.
IEEE Spectrum is published monthly by IEEE, the world's largest organization of technology professionals and business leaders. Over 385,000 executives, engineers, and computer scientists at the world's largest companies and universities look to IEEE Spectrum each month for the latest news and most accurate information about new important technology developments. IEEE Spectrum readership comprises the largest concentration of high-tech professionals and senior managers of any publication in its niche. IEEE Spectrum also communicates through its Web site, IEEE Spectrum Online (http://www.spectrum.ieee.org). Its content includes numerous news stories and features beyond those featured in the print magazine.

Liverpool's new city centre gin garden celebrated its opening weekend with a Light Night preview and Royal Gin Garden Party. And I was lucky enough to get an invite.
Fezziwig's Gin Yard kept the gin cocktails flowing in the sunshine and intimate courtyard.
The walled courtyard of Furnival's Well in the old Bridewell has been transformed and named in honour of Charles Dickens' party-loving Christmas Carol character Mr Fezziwig. Dickens researched his novel The Uncommercial Traveller at the Campbell Square jail, so owners Gracious Development Company were keen to pay tribute with their latest venue.
Fezziwig's Gin Yard has been created in partnership with Bombay Sapphire (my second fave Gin) and stocks a hand-picked selection of gins, combining familiar favorite brands with more unusual small batch producers. Gardeners have given the courtyard a lush green theme, with a living wall installed on one side and a wall of growing gin-related herbs on another. It's all designed to add to the overall gin lovers' experience, making it more than just a place for a quick G&T.
General manager Nick Romano says the launch gave Fezziwig's a chance to share its new look and its bespoke gin cocktail menu with guests.
I will deffinatley be coming and spending my summer here, sunshine and gin what else could a girl wish for.
Till Next Time! x

Everyone can agree – traveling, especially planning travel, can be really stressful. Add on the stress of dealing with a food intolerance or two, and you could end up dreading travel. Fear not my fellow food intolerant friends! After traveling for the past two weeks, I've realized that it's actually not that bad – and I wanted to share my tips for making the most of vacation without sacrificing your health. Continue reading "Traveling with Food Intolerances"
Vegetarian – Take 2
I'm a little hesitant to share this post, as I've never wanted to come off as preachy here – I don't respond well to evangelical and preachy presentations, so the last thing I want to do is come off that way myself. Rather, I hope to share my story as I'm learning how to take care of my body, hoping that my story can help someone else learn how to take care of him/herself. I also love to cook, and the joy of cooking is sharing with others, so no better place to share than here! All this being said, please know I don't mean to preach to you as I share this 🙂
This past weekend, I was very lucky to go snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef – it was an incredible experience! I went with the company Wavelength – which I highly recommend, if you make here to go. The boats are staffed with marine biologists and you learn so much in a day about the Reef and the ecosystem in North Queensland. It is pretty amazing how the three seemingly separate ecosystems (rainforest, marsh and reef) are codependent.
I learned that what we see of the Reef in advertising is manipulated (not just models are photoshopped) and that the coral reef should be earthen tones, not florescent bright colors. (Edit: for those asking why, check out this article) I was actually pretty surprised to learn that when coral is bright colors, it's actually bad, and means the coral is stressed and/or bleaching. Bleaching is when the temperature of the water is too high for the coral to survive. There have been several serious bleaching events in the past few years, and the Reef is disappearing, each bleaching event happening closer to the one previous.
So what does this have to do with being vegetarian you might be asking at this point. I learned, or I should say, the lightbulb turned on, after hearing all this over the weekend. I've heard and read many times in the past year that the meat industry is a major factor in rising global average temperatures. You know, the argument about methane cow farts. 😆 There's a lot more to it than that though, and I encourage you to check it out!
Here's where I don't want to come off as preachy – I've made the choice based on both my dietary issues, and now adding my concern for the environment. I just wanted to share why I've decided to try vegetarianism again – moving forward, I'll share recipes that fit the lifestyle as well as the way my dietary issues change (for better or worse).
I'm far from an expert on all this, and if you're interested in learning more, definitely look into it. I've watched some documentaries on the meat industry – they worked until they appealed to emotions, then I switched off. I'm not necessarily in this for animal rights (though it's a nice bonus) but rather to see what it can do for my dietary health. It's a change I can make, and it's a small way for me to make a difference for the environment, you know, along with my metal straws and reusable cups 🤗
The Great Barrier Reef was amazing – like nothing I've ever seen before. But it was also pretty striking that you could see that a lot was not thriving – so much was bleached and over grown with algae. The best part though is that it can be fixed, it can be repaired. Parrotfish (some of the prettiest fish you'll see in a coral reef) work to keep algae under control, and help create places for new coral to grow. It can be fixed, so long as bleaching doesn't continue to get worse. Here's the only preachy thing I'll say – be aware of your impact on the environment, and use fewer single-use items, so we can all enjoy the planet a little more, and a little longer.
Is this thing on?
Hi friends 🙂
It's been much too long since we've chatted, and that's all me. It's been a bit of a hectic year for my health, and it's been hard to get motivated to write here. But instead of giving myself too hard a time about it, I figured no better time than now to connect with you all again! Continue reading "Is this thing on?"
Help me, friends!
These past few months have been hard ones, and it's been a challenge to get myself to write about it, hence the very long hiatus from the blog. I've noticed something about myself that I am nervous to acknowledge publicly, but know that I need to share this so that friends can hold me accountable.
My number one goal when writing this blog was to connect with others who might be struggling with some of the same things I do, and help those people, ideally working through the struggles together. It has also become a place where I vent some of my problems, share goals and successes, share some recipes, and educate others on one of my passions, essential oils. I do these things in the real world too (versus the online world) and I've noticed lately, that I'm having a hard time sharing and educating.
One specific, very recent experience comes to mind, when talking with a close friend about sugar. I am very passionate about food, as if you didn't know already ;). I hope to teach others to be mindful of the foods they're eating, and I always encourage people to eat real foods. When it comes to sugar specifically, I always say, "If you're going to have sugar, just eat the real thing. It tastes better, and your body can process it." So in this instance, the conversation turned to artificial sugars, and suddenly, my friend called me out for judging others for their food choices, versus helping them make better choices. Cue me being completely mortified. This is probably my greatest fear when it comes to educating and sharing with others. The last thing I want is for someone to feel that they are being judged. My goal is to help people, not judge them.
I think the hardest thing for me to realize is that not everyone is as conscious of eating healthy or are as invested in natural wellness as I am. I know that I need to adjust my attitude when I speak to others who aren't completely open to what I have to say. This blog post is mostly a call (or plea!) to my friends, please help me to teach from a compassionate place, not judgmental. Because I am publicly asking, I hope that you will not feel scared to call me out either! Teach me how to be a better teacher and listener!
Who is surprised – it's getting warmer out, and yet again, I'm injured. It's the same area causing a problem, which to me says I have a chronic issue with tendonitis in my ankle. The hardest part of this all – I knew something was wrong, but ignored it for almost two weeks before resting. Long story short friends, if you notice swelling, get it looked at before it gets any worse. Continue reading "Setbacks"

But I could never be a vegetarian… or could I?
I started this blog a little over two years ago, with a goal in mind: work through my skin and digestive issues, and share the journey, hoping to reach those those who are looking for solutions and answers.

Secure InfoPath forms in SharePoint using encryption
Learn how you can encrypt InfoPath forms and decrypt them again to protect and secure InfoPath forms in SharePoint.
You've got an InfoPath browser form in SharePoint in which sensitive information such as personal information or credit card numbers are stored.
You want to be able to secure and restrict the viewing of this information only to people who have been authorized to view protected sensitive data in an InfoPath browser form within SharePoint (demo video).
You can use encryption to encrypt and decrypt sensitive data to secure InfoPath forms in SharePoint.
Before you begin
This article assumes that you have already mastered the InfoPath basics, know how to add conditional formatting to InfoPath controls, and know how to write code in InfoPath.
InfoPath forms are self-contained, meaning that the InfoPath data is stored within the form itself and not in an external data store such as a database. When dealing with SharePoint, the XML of InfoPath forms is eventually stored in a SharePoint content database, but still each InfoPath form remains an XML file that contains all of its own data.
Because InfoPath forms store their own data, you need to come up with a clever way to decrypt and encrypt InfoPath form data when the form is opened and closed.
The trick to encrypting InfoPath forms to protect and secure InfoPath forms in SharePoint is to encrypt the data and empty all of the fields that contain sensitive data before the form is saved. And then when the form is opened, decrypt the data and populate the fields again with the sensitive data.
You can encrypt InfoPath forms to secure InfoPath forms in SharePoint as follows:
- In InfoPath, create a browser-compatible form template that resembles the following figure.
Figure 1. Browser-compatible InfoPath form template with security features.
- The Main data source of the InfoPath form template should resemble the following figure.
Figure 2. Main data source of the secure InfoPath form template.
Description of the purpose of each node in the main data source of the secure InfoPath form template:
- The password node is used for the user to enter a password. This field is always cleared after the user presses the Protect or Unprotect button to prevent the password from being stored in the form when the form is saved.
- The isLocked node is used to keep track of whether the data in the InfoPath form is secured or not. This is a hidden field in the InfoPath form and is used to enable/disable the Protect and Unprotect buttons through conditional formatting.
- The encryptedData node is used for storing the encrypted data of all of the protected fields. This is also a hidden field.
- The emptyProtectedFields node is used to store the XML structure of all of the fields under the protectedFields group node. This data will be used to quickly empty all of the protected fields. This field is also a hidden field.
- The protectedFields group node contains the fields that are shown on the InfoPath form and that should be secured.
- The errorMessage node is used for displaying messages to the user. An Expression Box is used to display this field on the InfoPath form.
Add the following Conditional Formatting to the Protect button:
If this condition is true:
isLocked is not blank
Then apply this formatting:
Disable this control
Add the following Conditional Formatting to the Unprotect button:
If this condition is true:
isLocked is blank
Then apply this formatting:
Disable this control
Add the following using statements to the InfoPath form code file:
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
Add the following code to the Loading event handler of the InfoPath form template:
XPathNavigator root = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();
// Copy the XML structure for the protectedFields node with empty values
string emptyProtectedFields = root.SelectSingleNode(
"/my:myFields/my:protectedFields", NamespaceManager).OuterXml;
// Store the XML structure in the emptyProtectedFields node
catch (Exception ex)
Add the following code to the Clicked event handler of the Protect button:
XPathNavigator root = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();
// Generate the encryption key using the password
string password = root.SelectSingleNode(
"/my:myFields/my:password", NamespaceManager).Value;
SymmetricAlgorithm symmKey = GenerateKey(password);
// Retrieve and encrypt the sensitive fields
string dataToEncrypt = root.SelectSingleNode(
"/my:myFields/my:protectedFields", NamespaceManager).OuterXml;
NamespaceManager).SetValue(EncryptField(symmKey, dataToEncrypt));
// Encrypt the isLocked field
NamespaceManager).SetValue(EncryptField(symmKey, "locked"));
// Do not save the password; empty the password field
// Empty the protected fields node
string emptyProtectedFields = root.SelectSingleNode(
"/my:myFields/my:emptyProtectedFields", NamespaceManager).Value;
XPathNavigator container = root.SelectSingleNode(
"//my:protectedFields", NamespaceManager);
catch (Exception ex)
Add the following code to the Clicked event handler of the Unprotect button:
XPathNavigator root = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();
// Retrieve the password entered by the user and generate a key
string password = root.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:password",
SymmetricAlgorithm symmKey = GenerateKey(password);
// Retrieve the encrypted data
string encryptedData = root.SelectSingleNode(
"/my:myFields/my:encryptedData", NamespaceManager).Value;
// Try to decrypt the data
string decryptedData = DecryptField(symmKey, encryptedData);
// Put the decrypted data in the protectedFields node
XPathNavigator container = root.SelectSingleNode(
"//my:protectedFields", NamespaceManager);
// Empty the isLocked and password fields
catch (CryptographicException)
string msg = "Either the password you entered is incorrect ";
msg += "or you are not authorized to view the protected data.";
catch (Exception)
string msg = "The InfoPath form has been tampered with; ";
msg += "cannot unprotect the data.";
- Save the InfoPath form template and build the project.
- Deploy the InfoPath form template with C# code to SharePoint using an administrator-approved deployment.
You should now have a fully functional InfoPath form that displays the behavior shown in this Password-protect InfoPath browser forms in SharePoint demo video.
Note: The solution described in this article prevents everybody who is not the first person who clicks on the Protect button to secure the InfoPath form from viewing the sensitive data contained within the form. If you want to authorize a select group of people to view the secure data, you can make use of a saltValue that is an empty string (or a string that does not change) instead of the user name of the person who protects the form, and then share this password among the members of the group.

text: Here's the facts : I'm on a 2.2 MacBook Pro since this summer. I have an external LCD monitor plugged with a DVI cable. Resolution of 1280*1024. I'm in Leopard. Ok, since i've had this MacBook Pro, I used my external screen a lot. Normally I just plug it in the DVI port, little blue screen on Mac OS X (refreshing the display), and then everything work fine. MAC OS X recognize the screen, applies my custom setting (2 different color settings for both the laptop and the external screen), etc. About a week ago. If I start the computer with my screen already plugged in, everything about graphics setting go default. Precisely, when I am in the login screen, my color is same as usual, but as soon as I enter my session, the color turns to defaults (quite yellow in fact) and it applies the same default color to the external screen, and it is VERY Yellowish. Also, in display settings, the resolution list I have doesn't include 1280*1024, like it normally does. Also, if I unplug the screen then, the same normal refresh blu screen appears for a second, however, even when unplugged, MAC OS X act like there is still another external screen. I cannot get to the Windows that were on the other screen. If I use SPACE, it show two screen next to each other. Curiously, if I restart the computer with the monitor unplugged, Start MAC OS X, Enter my session and THEN plug the screen, everything works fine. It's just when I restart, of simply start, with the screen plugged that it does that. Does someone have a clue about the cause of this issue ? ( I heard about a graphic update...and if I remember correctly, i've made the update that included this.)

BARC develops wheat to fight crop-damaging African fungus
India is getting ready to fight Ug99, a deadly fungus causing stem rust, which has destroyed wheat fields across Kenya and reached Iran.india Updated: Sep 13, 2010 02:54 IST
Hindustan Times
India is getting ready to fight Ug99, a deadly fungus causing stem rust, which has destroyed wheat fields across Kenya and reached Iran.
Trombay-based Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) has developed radiation-induced resistance mutations in wheat that it hopes can withstand the fungus.
In the two-year research, BARC scientists used
radiation-induced mutation technique (see box) on two popular wheat varieties to develop new mutants that could be used if the rust finds its way to India.
First identified in Uganda in 1999 — hence the name Ug99 — the virulent fungus has moved to Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan, Yemen and most recently to Iran.
"Since the spores of the fungus travel with wind and come down with rain, the disease may come to India," warned Stanislaus F. D'Souza, head, Nuclear Agriculture and Biotechnology Division, BARC.
Scientists closely monitoring the fungus disease fear it may not take too much time to enter India via Pakistan.
"Resistant varieties have to be developed and kept ready for use if needed. If popular varieties are used for inducing mutation, the new mutant variety will find immediate acceptability," said D'souza.
The work assumes importance as India produces more than 70 million tonnes of wheat annually, making it the second largest producer of wheat in the world after China. India is also the second largest consumer of wheat.
BARC is awaiting permission from the appropriate Indian agency to send the mutant varieties for screening and testing to Kenya — a country infested with Ug99 — to check their efficacy.
The Ug99 fungus grows on the stems and other parts of wheat plant and derives nutrition from the plant ultimately weakening the stem so that plants can no longer stand upright. Infected plants produce fewer seeds and may die.
"Given the importance of wheat to India, any threat whether a pest or disease or an abiotic factor (drought, heat or salinity) is extremely important," said David Hodson, international focal point for the Wheat Rust Disease Global Programme, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

To achieve weight
loss, it's crucial to really understand what a portion is. Here's a trick: use
your hand as a guideline to portion sizes.
Palm = Proteins Make protein
portions the size of your palm. Protein is found in animal products, like fish,
meats, and cottage cheese. Some veggie sources include legumes (beans, etc.),
tofu, tempeh, and wheat glutens.
Thumb = Fats Fats are
important but also very dense, so match portions to the size of your thumb.
Good fat sources are avocados, olive oil, nuts, and seeds.
Fist = Fruits, Grains, etc.
Your bread, fruit, cereal, rice, and grain portions should be about equal to
the size of your closed fist. Remember that whole grains are always preferred.
Hand =
Veggies Open your hand and spread your fingers as wide as you can.
That is a good vegetable portion. Raw vegetables are loaded with fiber and
nutrients, and contain very few calories.

I do not actively follow ASX but I had a good read through their latest drilling and assay results. Nothing particularly jumped out at me although they seem to have widespread mineralization. Many gold and silver stocks have performed well over the past 6 months but this sector is not my current focus. Any comments from other readers that follow the industry?

To sleep, perchance to dream…
In a flowery meadow
Where soft breezes roam
Bringing cool currents of scent
Of newly cut grass,
Of flowers,
Of a summer's day.
And yet, the sleep
May not end
Instead, the earth may grow cold
As gentle breezes
Become fierce winds
And tumultuous clouds
Bring snow, ice, rain
Which dart from the sky
In a thousand angry spikes.
Dreams may become nightmares
Or nothing,

The time will never be right for David Cameron to hold a referendum on the EU
The time will never be right for David Cameron to hold a referendum on the EU

The Prime Minister should explain why Britain can't vote on continued membership of the failing European Union
By Nigel Farage |
The Telegraph
I have had enough of being told that we will have an EU referendum "when the time is right". The time has come for a real debate: I challenge the Prime Minister to debate with me why he will not give us a say on our relationship with the European Union.
Anyone following David Cameron's recent twists and turns on the EU could be forgiven for feeling dizzy. At one time, there was a "cast-iron guarantee" of a referendum. Then, last year, he three-line-whipped Conservative MPs to oppose the idea of holding one. Events last week did nothing to add clarity. On Friday in Brussels, with Angela Merkel looming over him, we were told that there would be no referendum. But 48 hours later, in an article in The Sunday Telegraph, he suggested that a referendum might be a possibility, though not just yet.
There is one note of total consistency. On at least half a dozen occasions, the Prime Minister has been clear that there will not be – must not be – a choice of whether we stay in or leave the EU.
The explanation is that it is in our interests to remain a member, so it does not matter what voters think. It's a case of "I, David Cameron, have made up my mind." This assertion, shared by almost the entire political class, must be questioned in an open debate. Those of us who have dared to challenge the consensus have been mocked and derided, but opinion polls now show that the British people do not want to be part of a political union.
The Prime Minister overstates the benefits of EU membership. I believe we would be better off out. My parents' generation voted to remain a part of a Common Market which they believed to be a free-trade agreement that would not impinge on our rights of self-government. We were conned in 1975 and we must not allow that to be repeated today.
Mr Cameron claims that 3.5 million British jobs depend on us remaining part of the European Union. This comment always goes undisputed. It is based on the number of jobs dependent on exports to the EU and assumes that leaving the union would mean no further business between us and the EU – an incredibly weak, illogical argument. In 2010, the EU sold us £50 billion worth of goods more than we sold them. In short, they need us more than we need them. There is no chance of Mercedes, for example, refusing to sell us cars if we amicably divorce ourselves from political union.
The EU is a Seventies solution to a Fifties problem. The world has moved on since the "Common Market", with World Trade Organisation agreements guaranteeing trading terms. Countries like Norway, Switzerland and even Mexico have free trade deals with the EU. Trade will continue as it does now with consumers making their choices in the marketplace. We are the world's fifth-largest trading nation and yet, incredibly, we are banned from negotiating our own trade deals around the world. Ukip believes the Commonwealth is a good place to start, with its shared ties, common law, common language and a growth rate that outstrips our European neighbours.
But the benefits of leaving do not stop there. One of the most contentious issues in UK politics is immigration. With new arrivals running at 600,000 a year, the public demands that something must be done. But there is a problem. EU membership means that we have an open-door policy for our poorer European neighbours and a benefits system that encourages people to come here.
I was asked last week what I thought about new figures showing that Britain was the favoured destination for asylum seekers. I replied that 14,000 asylum seekers make up a small percentage of the total number of immigrants. Only by leaving the EU can we control our borders and apply a sensible and fair work permit scheme. My party is often accused of being anti-immigration. We are not. Work permits would allow talented, qualified people from all over the world a chance to contribute to the future of this country. Australia does it and so should we.
The other thing I am often asked about is human rights. Whether the issue is votes for prisoners or the failure to deport criminals on the spurious grounds of a "right to a family life", our Government and courts are impotent. Highly paid, politicised lawyers will tell you that the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg is separate to the EU. That is no longer true. EU membership demands acceptance of all ECHR judgments and the EU intends to become a signatory in its own right, as part of the Lisbon Treaty. While we remain part of the EU, the chances of us wrestling back British judicial powers are slim.
I am pessimistic, however, that any of these serious issues will be addressed. My prediction is that Mr Cameron will be given one small, paltry concession from the EU over workers' rights and will then present this as a victory of renegotiation. A referendum promise in the next Tory election manifesto on any "new package" would leave us exactly where we are now, still governed by Brussels, still unable to make our own laws and still paying £50 million a day for the "privilege" of belonging to this undemocratic club.
Once again, I challenge the Prime Minister to have an open debate with me on why he believes we must stay part of this failing, corrupt EU. The future of our nation is at stake. Mr Cameron, you have my phone number.

- #1S PALOMAR: The Comets were the No. 1 overall seed in Southern California after going 34-3 during the regular season, cruising to a Pacific Coast Conference Championship.

In the CCCAA Super Regional, the Comets swept No. 10 Antelope Valley to punch their ticket to the CCCAA State Championships.
- #1N SAN MATEO: The Warriors' first opponent at the CCCAA State Championships, the Bulldogs earned the No. 1 overall seed in Northern California with a 39-4 record and 14-1 mark in the Coast Conference, North Division. They swept No. 16 Solano in the CCCAA Regionals and then outslugged No. 15 Sacramento City in the CCCAA Super Regionals, sweeping Sacramento 9-7 and 16-5.
- #2N Sierra: The Wolverines were the No. 3 seed in Northern California and winners of the Big 8 Conference with a 21-3 conference mark. At 37-7 overall, the Wolverines entered the postseason and rolled past No. 14 West Valley in the first round. In the CCCAA Super Regionals, they hammered No. 13 College of the Sequoias 9-1 in game one and then held on to a 2-1 victory in game two to advance to the CCCAA State Championships.
- #3N Ohlone: The Renegades finished second in the Coast Conference, North Division behind San Mateo after going 9-3 in conference. They finished the season with a 34-12 overall record and earned the No. 5 seed in Northern California and needed three games to get past No. 12 Diablo Valley in the CCCAA Regionals. In the second round, the Renegades fell behind after dropping game one to No. 11 Reedley 3-0. On Saturday, the Renegades evened the series with a 7-0 win in game two and then scored a 5-3 win in game three to advance to this weekend.
- #4N San Joaquin Delta: The runners-up in the Big 8 Conference in 2018, the Mustangs finished with a 28-16 record and are the lowest seed at the CCCAA State Championships as the No. 7 seed from Northern California. The Mustangs beat Fresno City in a sweep in the CCCAA Regionals and then tangled with No. 8 San Jose City in the CCCAA Super Regionals. The Mustangs were shutout 1-0 in game one but bounced back with a 5-3 and 9-4 victories on Saturday to survive and advance.
The Warriors have faced every team from the Southern California section of the bracket in 2018. They went 0-2 against Palomar and Mt. SAC while splitting two games against Cypress with each team winning on the other's home field.
The Warriors face the top seed from the North in game one and the Bulldogs come in with a high powered offense. They are ranked fifth in the state with a .384 team batting average while the Warriors are 23rd in that regard with a .334 mark. Both teams rank in the top-10 in runs scored with the Bulldogs sixth overall (339) while the Warriors are ranked eighth in the state (321). The Bulldogs are the top team in the state with 103 doubles and second in overall hits with 463. They also pose a challenge in the circle as their pitchers are second in the state with a .183 opponents' batting average so far this season.
The Warriors were an incredibly patient group at the dish, drawing 139 walks which ranked ninth in the state. They were also 11th in the state with 113 extra base hits and were once again the top team in California in stolen bases, leading the category by miles with 213 stolen bases on the year.
Here are some notes on the Warriors standouts during the 2018 postseason.
- Karla Calderon has led the Warriors offense through two rounds of the CCCAA Postseason. She is batting .500 (7-for-14) with five runs scored and three stolen bases. She is 3-for-3 so far this postseason with runners in scoring position.
- Ashley Machado is batting .429 (6-for-14) with four runs scored and has one triple in five games played. She is tied for third on the team with three RBI.
- As a team, the Warriors are batting .322 in the postseason with opponents hitting .286.
- The Warriors are currently 14-for-16 in stolen base attempts during the postseason. Opponents have attempted just three stolen bases against ECC in five games.
- Alena De La Torre is batting .333 in four games and leads the team with four RBI along with Helaina Gallardo, who is batting .600 (3-for-5) in limited action this postseason. De La Torre and Gallardo have been clutch for ECC with De La Torre going 3-for-4 with runners in scoring position while Gallardo is 2-for-3 with runners in scoring position.
- In the circle, Clarissa Chiquete and Maisie Weishoff have each posted a 2.19 ERA. Chiquete has been excellent so far this postseason, going 3-0 with one complete-game shutout. Opponents have hit .263 against her so far this postseason.
