7. The Vampire Diaries- All is Fair with Love and Blood

The Vampire Diaries- All is Fair with Love and Blood 7. A Compelling Story

As it turns out, Stefan WAS headed for the hospital. I was thoroughly confused, though.I suppose it was possible for me to not know the full story of what had bitten Vicki Donavan at the party last night. I was still trying to work out if it had been a vampire. It wasn't me, I knew that much. It couldn't have possibly been Veronica, either- she was amongst the crowd the entire night. And Stefan- well... he was iffy sometimes, but I'd trusted him when he'd told me it hadn't been him. Could it have been..?
No, Stefan would have told me.
Or would he have?
He'd been behaving oddly- like he had bad new he knew he'd have to tell me eventually. It made me angry. I'd come to Mystic Falls to worry about Stefan , not myself, or any bad news he had for me!
And if it had been Stefan that had bitten Vicki, it would have been all my fault! Though I never believed for a second that it had been Stefan that'd done it, I'm sure Zack- the owner of the Salvatore boarding house, and Stefan's great nephew, had already dished him out for the crime. He'd probably also blamed him on the recently broadcasted deaths in the woods, which I'd attempted to ignore. I had hoped that that mystery had really been an animal- but these things added up.
Especially in Mystic Falls.
So there I was, sorely ending up staring at the hospital, a few seconds after Stefan had disappeared inside. Was I being unfair, wanting to follow him? I wanted to trust him, and I did: for the most part.
I pushed decidedly through the door, which opened and stuck against the handicap lock. I didn't give time for the nurse at the circular desk time to look up from the computer, let alone check me in. I made my way down the hall, following Stefan's sharp turns around corners. He knew where Vicki's room was?
I couldn't help but look into the rooms as we passed intensive care unit, which meant we were getting closer to Vicki. The bandages and beeping heart monitors made me think. What if Vicki had... died? Where would we stand then?
When I came to a wide hall brimmed with bustling nurses and doctors, I watched Stefan slip, unnoticed, into one of the rooms. I assumed it was Vicki's and followed. I hovered in the doorframe when I reached it, but I didn't hear anything for a few moments. I walked it.
Stefan was leaning over Vicki, their eyes both wide and staring. Stefan was whispering something to her, and I realized that he was trying to compel her.
"It was an animal that attacked you," he said quietly .
"It was an animal that attacked me," she repeated, her voice as glazed as her eyes.
"Are you sure that'll work?" I asked, making Stefan whirl around. Vicki showed no sign that she knew of my presence.
"No," Stefan sighed.
"Do you want me to..?"
"No- wait!" Stefan put a finger to my mouth, which always annoyed me to no end. But I could hear it, too; there were footsteps, softer than the nurses or doctors', coming closer to Vicki's room.
Stefan took my arm and pulled me from the room. I shook him off gently and followed. We went down the hall, around the corner, and into a new hall. Behind us, someone was lurking closer, picking up their pace.
"What do we do?" I whispered.
"Turn," he directed, not answering.
"Who is it?"
"Matt," he breathed.
At first, I had no idea who he was talking about, but a second later I realized that Vicki's brother must have come straight from school. I wondered vaguely where THEIR parents were.
Stefan took another turn suddenly, and we found ourselves slamming into a wall of the thick scent of blood.
It was the donation center.
I flashed a glance at Stefan's face and grabbed his hand, crushing it in my own. I pulled, and he didn't try to resist, instead he looked around for a way out.
"There!" I instructed, pointing to a wrap-around curtain that wasn't in use, stationed in front of a window near the center. I yanked it back, and a light breeze drifted out of the open window.
"Jump!" I whispered harshly. He took one look at me and sailed out, running lightning fast as soon as his feet hit the ground. I followed relentlessly throwing myself out, flying when my feet merely tapped the cement below.
I stopped at the front of the building. Where was Stefan? Maybe he left because he was angry that I'd tried to help. I felt a slightly angry push on my shoulder, and there he was, having less of a reason to be angry than I.
"Don't look at me like that because I was trying to HELP you. There's something you're not telling me- and you definitely should NOT be the angry one." I insisted, a little louder than necessary. I didn't care! The anger drained from his face almost at once, taking on a more sympathetic look. "You know who attacked Vicki, don't you?" I asked, gentler this time. He just put his face in his hands and shook his head.
"I'll only assume it was you," I lied, "just like Zack, and then who's fault would it be, Stef? Yours? No, it'd be mine! I'm supposed to be-!"
"I didn't. I didn't hurt anyone." Stefan's eyes were cold as he lifted his head. I stared at him for a moment, knowing it was impossible to stay angry while looking into his face... reminding me of his brother... damnit.
Stefan looked up at the hospital. "We should go," he put his hand on my shoulder. "I'm sorry," And then he was gone.
Right then and there I felt like a breakdown. He trusted me, didn't he? Before I was a vampire, I know I'd been mentally unstable- and still am at times- but whatever he tells me I can take, can't I?
I lifted my own head to the hospital- and caught my breath. Matt was searching the grounds from one of the top windows in the building. He turned his head towards me-
but I was already a streak across the lawn.

IMAGE: Book Brief // Let's Apreciate a shape

Just came across a blog devoted to the hexagon! Some strange and also humorous imagery. I really like the manipulation in the fox image below, How repetition in a cut and paste fashion has been used to create a kaleidoscope effect.

IMAGE: Book Brief // Hexagon Research

A little Bit of Information on the hexagon, A bit plain and boring but reading through stuff like this has definitely had an affect on the way I view the shape.

A regular hexagon has all sides of the same length, and all internal angles are 120°. A regular hexagon has 6 rotational symmetries (rotational symmetry of order six) and 6 reflection symmetries (six lines of symmetry), making up the dihedral group D6. The longest diagonals of a regular hexagon, connecting diametrically opposite vertices, are twice the length of one side. From this it can be seen that a triangle with a vertex at the center of the regular hexagon and sharing one side with the hexagon is equilateral, and that the regular hexagon can be partitioned into six equilateral triangles.

Like squares and equilateral triangles, regular hexagons fit together without any gaps to tile the plane (three hexagons meeting at every vertex), and so are useful for constructing tessellations. The cells of a beehive honeycomb are hexagonal for this reason and because the shape makes efficient use of space and building materials. The Voronoi diagram of a regular triangular lattice is the honeycomb tessellation of hexagons. It is not usually considered a triambus, although it is equilateral.

Really good diagram on how to sketch out a perfect Hexagon;

YCN:Fedrigoni Stop Motion & Existing Video work

Below are a few videos I found on vimeo, Tackling last years YCN brief for Fedrigoni and working with paper as a form of media. It's nice to see existing answers tacked in a range of different approaches, I definetly think that the making of our paper installation will be documented with a video camera. This would give the final outcome an element of completion, bring all the aspects of our project together.

YCN:Fedrigoni Imaginative Colours

The colour range we are marketing is the imaginative colours range, 4 theme based packs including 262 different colours.

YCN:Fedrigoni European Bee Eater

A really good resource for imagery of the European Bee Eater.

YCN:Fedrigoni The Euopean Bee eater

So far, throughout the research I've done into Birds, the Gruccione, Merops apiaster, European Bee-eater has stuck in my mind the most down to sheer beauty. Its feathers fade from a turquoise at the bottom of the wings to a auburn orange and burgundy on its back and neck, I think a bird that's so delicate and colourful has to be used to represent the range of Imaginative colours.

YCN:Fedrigoni Verona Birdwatching

Fedrigoni Is located in near Verona in Italy, A city popular for its Roman Heritage and culture, However it is also known for its wildlife. There are lists and lists of popular Italian Birds, regularly spotted and associated with Italy but Me and Simon wanted to base our 3d models on a Bird that would fully communicate the excitement that paper holds. We wanted to find a bird with similar characteristics. Below are a few different common Birds spotted In and around Verona, I picked out the birds that I thought were most appealing to look at but would be still achievable to make out of paper.

Gruccione Merops apiaster European Bee-eater

Pescatore Common Kingfisher

YCN:Fedrigoni Grain Edit Birds

Fedrigoni is a large manufacturer of paper in Italy which owns 5 paper mills in Verona, Arco di Trento, Riva del Garda, I thought it would be appropriate to base our 3d paper craft models on the most popular birds which fly In the Spanish mountains. When conducting my research I came across these gorgeous prints below, The use of simple shapes and subtle colours work so well.

YCN:Fedrigoni Paper Birds

A really short and snappy set of instructions on making paper birds, not the approach we're looking for but this has been a big help in terms of development.

YCN:Fedrigoni Paper Birds

We want to communicate Fedrigioni paper as an imaginative form of media creating a flock of birds out of paper. The paper craft below is a massive inspiration, the detail and quality in the folding of the paper is outstanding.

Speer TMJ 185 GR Quality Measurements

At work, I’ve been learning Six Sigma/Lean principles, and thought that my interest in reloading might be a good point where I can delve a little deeper into both what I enjoy intellectually for work and for fun, and, hopefully, learn more about what makes a quality bullet or case. Consequently, I’m documenting my efforts so that others can compare notes, generate discussion, and develop a greater understanding of this facet of reloading.

Having recently taken up bullseye, or precision pistol shooting as the NRA is now deciding to call it, like anyone new to a sport, I dug right in and started studying what has been written about reloading for this particular course of shooting. It’s a well worn field by all accounts, rife with genius and ignorance, but what bothered me most was the complete lack of data regarding what sorts of qualities one should look for in a round of match grade (meaning “target”) ammunition. Surely, I thought, the answer could just as easily be measuring a “known” match grade round and trying to replicate that. SAAMI even has a specification for 45 ACP Match ammunition- so surely there isn’t a mystery here.

Of course, it isn’t that simple. What may shoot well in one pistol may not in another, some powders may “feel” different in regards to recoil (something I don’t believe in at present), component differences between what a factory may use and what you may be able to get, and so forth. Additionally, I don’t have access to an outdoor range or independent testing mechanism like a Ransom Rest, so even if I could take all the measurements I could get my hands on, I couldn’t presently test them in any controlled way. Lastly, even if I could do a double blind controlled study and find a “magic bullet,” there are going to be days when the human factor- the skill necessary to shoot a shot deep into the black- is the limiting condition.

Nevertheless, I decided I’d start measuring bullets and cases and making the results available to all. As I revisit brands/lots, I’ll continue to expand the various data sets that I collect. If variation occurs from established, repeated measurements over time, then it may be a good reason to investigate an alternative supplier.

I recently purchased a couple boxes of Speer’s TMJ 185 gr. bullets (lot D12X, Part #4473) that I plan on using in bullseye tournaments over the course of this year. These bullets are made in the new style- instead of cup and core construction– and are instead electroplated. The accuracy of plated bullets is subject to great debate among the bullseye community, though I’m not aware of which specific brands anyone has found lacking. I can’t remember who commented on The Bullseye Forum that one could probably get away with using rocks as projectiles at the 25 yard line, so I’m guessing the complaints about plated bullets has something to do with the 50 yard performance- but who, when, and evidence of them not performing haven’t been demonstrated to my knowledge with any sort of test results such as with photos, target, and load data to back up the claim that plated bullets don’t work well.

Measurements taken were weight, length, and diameter (in that order). I found very quickly that I was unable to discern any diameter difference- it’s entirely possible that there is a difference that a micrometer could tell, but the calipers I was using all turned up measurements of .451 inch in diameter. This makes a certain sense; the constraint on a bullet isn’t weight or length- we speak about bullets in terms of their caliber, which is what will determine practical weight and length for a given projectile (assuming sufficient rifling and other necessary conditions).

You’ll note that the length of N measured is evenly spaced; I only have resolution to .001 inch. My measurement system is such that if I took a measurement and the needle was between graduations that I made a judgement call; if it was past what I considered a half space, I rounded the size up. If the tick was below the half space, I rounded down. I didn’t have to do that frequently, but I do want it noted.

The data are evenly distributed and have a low standard deviation, however, the data is not normally distributed; as I noted above, the data does have some semblance of continuous measurements, but it was categorized for ease of reporting, as the alternative is to get more resolution, which seems unfruitful.

The data is normally distributed which is indicated from the high P-value (the null hypothesis in this case was that the bullet weight would be normally distributed; thus, the null cannot be rejected). This is also evident from the trend of the samples to tend towards the center, or mean, of the graph. There are a couple of straggler data points on either end, which could be an indicator of either an improper measurement on my part (bias), or that the bullet was in fact the weight recorded.

The weight plot above indicates that, if my scale is to be believed, the majority of bullets are in fact underweight. Interestingly, the standard deviation from the mean is just enough weight to get many samples “over the hump,” assuming that it was a positive value, of course.

Relationship Between Weight vs Length:

A regression analysis indicates a strong relationship between bullet weight and bullet length. Remembering that we are fundamentally constrained by diameter (caliber), one would reasonably conclude that in order to increase weight, one must either use a different material or increase the amount of mass present; which in this case would be length. The model is explained to a high degree of confidence, statistically speaking.

The bullets appear to be very well made and to very tight tolerances, even though in general they are underweight. How they will shoot remains to be seen, but there is nothing in the data to suggest that, if loaded properly and within a narrow velocity tolerance, any particular physical property would present non-nominal performance.

Stylish "No Soliciting" Sign

I've been needing a "No Soliciting" sign for a awhile...  I whipped this baby out in probably 30 minutes total (and that's because I had to let the paint dry).

 I took a piece of scrap wood and painted it.  Let dry and distress.

While the paint is drying cut your letters out of vinyl.  I used a Cricut machine with the cartridge "Cuttin' up"

Then stick them on!!

 SO EASY!!  But it still adds a little style :)

EWG Cosmetics Database

"HEY GRRL! My makeup's probably toxic!"

Here's a useful site that you can use to look up cosmetics and toiletries to see whether their ingredients pose heath risks. It's created by the Environmental Working Group, and rates products from 0 (good) to 9 (bad!), and includes a breakdown of what ingredients pose specific risks.

EWG Cosmetics Database

You might not WANT to know the risks of the products you're using... but it's good to know that this site exists!

I looked up a few of my favorite items, ranging from....

Ocean Potion SPF "XTREME" Tanning Oil  --- rated 7 (that's bad), with a high risk of "Developmental and Reproductive Toxicity"

 - Honestly, that's no big surprise. Nothing about this stuff looks healthy to begin with. It is "XTREME," after all!

Hugo Natural's Volumizing Shampoo --- rated 1 (that's good!)

- Granted, 75% of the time I wash my hair I use my Pantene 2-in-1 (rated 4)... but I did at least buy the Hugo's to go in the right direction!

anime review: watashi ga motenai no wa dou kangaetemo omaera ga warui

when i started this anime i was hoping for a buck load of laughs. i do get them, but after each laugh, i bury my head in shame. this anime really prick on my consciousness.  as a minor case of misfit myself, i can relate to the main character, Kuroki Tomoko. i really pity her and at the same time i want to "shout get over it, dumbass!"

what make this story hilarious is that Tomoko is disgustingly positive with herself and always ended up in disastrous and hilarious result. she had a seemingly foolproof plan for the day but it always went haywire thanks to her inability to talk to people around her.

Tomoko has a serious case of shyness and had a nervous breakdown when people talking to her or when she tried to talk to people. in this anime, Tomoko was not bullied. there are always people around her that was nice to her but she close herself up because of her shyness. i laugh in a lot of scene but then i buried by head in the pillow and think, why is she like that? she reminded me of something in my younger days and i hate that.

the opposite case of Tomoko is her middle school friends Naruse Yuu. she and tomoko both were once an otaku and quite a misfit but she breaks her shell nicely and become a butterfly. tomoko could do the same but in my opinion, she didn't even break her shell. she didn't even really try or maybe she had expected that she would fail so she didn't even bother trying.

here's a little tidbit of the anime:

the plot is about a high school first year trying to become popular. she had simulations on it many times and confident that it will work out but the moment someone talks to her, she had a nervous breakdown. even a simple conversation is hard on her. but she didn't give up and formulate plans after plans, albeit failed to execute it as she hoped.

the animation is this story really center around Tomoko so the animators wahsed out the background and the other characters. but there are also times when the one being washed out is Tomoko. it is to show how she didn't feel like she didn't belong there.

the opening make me expect a fighting scene of some angsty lines but there are none. the ending song was either this one cute pop song on how she feel or random songs that fit the moment. i kinda like the idea of putting random songs in it because it gave a fresh feel and it relate to the episode quite well.

watamote is a hard slap on reality on our face. we are either Tomoko or we know a Tomoko. we are either helping them or we ignore them. we know that Tomoko need help and there are times when we really wanted to reach our hands to her. but then come the Tomoko side of story, which she unknowingly rejected people's help and build a fence around herself.

it was funny and sometime it was depressing especially for those who had  experience of being a missfit. it wasn't an emotional rollercoater but at the end of every scene i look back into myself and feel depressed. for the anime to be able to bring out the deepest feeling and dark secret of the person watching it, it was a really good anime.

Things that don't change and the new EP

the desire to communicate with them all the time, be it with calls or texting.

school, namely geometry

saying goodbye

excitement about summer and vacations

I know I didn't hit them all, but these are the ones that I'm dealing with! Yes, braces hurt. Did anyone ask? Don't care, still told you! And they're purple. I have already disobedied the orthodontist! They said to only eat one chip at a time, and I put two in my mouth at one time like a baus! It wasn't that exciting, and it kind of hurt. I've also been eating a ton of marshmallows...but I bet you really don't care about how I've kept alive since getting a mouthful of metal.

Well, I'm super excited about that down there! Any new music of his is welcome. I've actually not heard them all yet, but I will soon. Thanks Adam for giving me inspiration and optimism!

So that's what's up. I'm currently in the middle of Wuthering Heights, which is really good, and Paralandra, also very good. Former by Charlotte Bronte and latter by C.S. Lewis. It had been told me that I would most likely like Paralandra better than Out of the Silent Planet, but so far I have not. If you haven't read The Space Trilogy, do so now! I suggest other Lewis books first, but if you have any questions, just ask!

bBj, who's "leeeaaavin' on a jet plane".... *loud singing*

The Workplace Issue (Nov. 2013)

Memorandum: From 1960s skyscrapers to invisible boardrooms in David Simon’s Baltimore, you are what you work. Textured with guest submissions from Mad Rock, A Softer Madison Avenue, and Jim Halpert Faces, the November 2013 social (multi)media issue is our steno pool on the American TV office. On behalf of teachers and Tumblrers across the Web, we are thrilled to bring you the first issue of Watercooler Journal.

Crescent Falls

Aug 2, 2013

My first of many stops on this day.  I would return to this waterfall, as promised.  Crescent Falls is a roadside waterfall, however it is down a 3 Km dirt road.  There are guard rails which guide you alongside the cliff for a short walk down stream.  For this reason I would say this is a family destination, and as it was on my venture to these waterfalls.
The benefit to the David Thompson Highway (and all of Bighorn Backcountry), is its lacking popularity.  As I mention that this is a family destination, and that it is a roadside waterfall, be sure you're not mistaking this with the over crowded destinations such as Athabasca or Bow Falls.  In either case, this is a must see destination, along with many, in along this highway.

Crescent Falls is actually a two tiered waterfall, as above pictured is slightly downstream of the waterfall pictured below.  Both of these falls are responsible for distributing the majestic blue colour to theHighway system.  For that reason I enjoyed every minute of this visit, as the David Thompson Highway is the best Alberta has to offer!

System Operating Plans General Instructions for High Reliability Trains 901,902,921,949,951,952,953,965

System Operating Plans General Instructions for High Reliability Trains 901,902,921,949,951,952,953,965

The objective with these trains is to place all cars on schedule at the
consignee’s siding. The minimum goal will be on-time placement of 85% of the
Group “A” traffic (Pool, Piggyback, Containers, Perishables and Automobiles
as specified for each train). The measurement is made weekly and on an annual
basis by comparing daily placements of cars with the scheduled placement times.

Marketing and Sales and Operating personnel will ensure that shippers are
informed that cut-off times must be met if scheduled delivery is to be consistently

The plan of operation covers movement from dock to dock (or to interchange point).
Terminal operations must be planned to provide car handling at origin and destination
within the established car schedules.

In order that these measurements can be made, daily reports are to be telephoned
to the System Operations Centre from Vancouver, Calgary, Regina, Winnipeg, Thunder
Bay, Toronto, Montreal and Saint John giving the following car placement data for
Group “A” traffic:

  • Total cars placed
  • Total cars placed late
  • Time of placement of late cars only
  • Reason for late placement

Time of placement will be defined as time that first car or cut of cars is placed.

The power-to-weight ratio must not fall below that specified.

Train symbols must not be changed enroute. If sections are required the first
section must be the through train.

Detailed operating and marshalling instructions will be issued by the Chief of
Transportation as required.

These trains must operate to the requirements laid out in the detail pages.

NOTE: No changes are to be made to the operating plans detailed herein without
the authority of the Chief of Transportation.

For Group “A” traffic the individual commodity priority list for above mentioned
high reliability trains indicate the order of preference to be given commodities.
(The first item in the list has highest priority). Where more traffic is available
than authorized capacity, first reduction should be made to other than Group “A”
traffic. Where Group “A” traffic exceeds the car limit, reduction will be made by
first considering the blocks of cars in origin/destination blocks (long haul has
preference). Secondly, within each reduction by origin/destination, traffic should
be given preference in the order listed in the individual commodity priority lists.
Where marshalling procedures permit, loads should be given preference.

Doe Deere Article #2

Are you interested in the cosmetics industry? Have you ever heard of Lime Crime? Lime Crime is one of the hottest cosmetic lines of the 21st century. These cosmetics are animal cruelty-free as well as vegan. One of its most popular products is the Velvetine lipstick, and its first big product was the Blue Unicorn lipstick. The thing about Lime Crime is that it uses some of the most dazzling array of colors. It would be very hard trying to find another brand that can match this broad and colorful spectrum. Lime Crime’s colors represent every color of the rainbow, which includes:

  • Wicked (blood red)

  • Unicorn (neon green)

  • Utopia (neon purple)

  • Black Velvet

  • Red Velvet

  • Scandal (deep plum)

  • Pink Velvet

  • Riot (dull pink)

  • Rave (electric pink)

  • Shroom

  • And many more

Founder and CEO Doe Deere has turned her dream into a reality. This woman has revolutionized the game in more ways than one. The Russian-born beauty has implemented her very own style into the products. After relocating to the United States, Deere had her sights on being a musician. Fortunately, she got a chance to play in a band while residing in The Big Apple. Deere learned a lot about the business, especially the marketing aspect. This knowledge would eventually come in handy years later. After her rather short stint in the band, she went on to further her education in fashion by attending New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology.

On the other hand, Deere has always had an entrepreneurial spirit to some degree. At the age of 13, she would sell temporary tattoos to her childhood friends in Russia. She has always been a popular type of person and this entrepreneurial spirit only added to her mystique. Lime Crime officially launched in 2008, but the company didn’t started making large amounts of revenue until 2009. Most of the products were under $20 and the public began to buy them at an astounding rate. As of today, Lime Crime has a huge cult-following as it appeals to both females and males. Being unapologetically expressive was one of its mottos, and it has lived up to this motto ever since its inception. Doe Deere has certainly made her mark on the game and the future is looking mighty bright for this gifted young woman. Learn more:

Press Release

April 29, 2009

Al Roker to Host "Wake Up With Al" Weekday Mornings on The Weather Channel

Al Roker, widely recognized as America's favorite weatherman, has been named host of Wake Up With Al,a new weekday morning program on The Weather Channel (TWC).  Roker will join TWC's Stephanie Abrams, who will serve as his co-host.  The announcement was made today by Lisa Gersh, interim CEO of The Weather Channel.  The one-hour program will air weekdays from 6-7 a.m. ET and premiere this summer.

"Simply put - Al Roker is synonymous with weather.  He has an energy and a style that jumps off the screen, and we already know that people want to wake up with him in the morning," said Gersh.  "We have spent months coming up with the right way to integrate Al into The Weather Channel programming, and I think, alongside Stephanie, we've come up with the perfect formula with this announcement."

Wake Up With Al will explore all aspects of the day's weather, combining Roker's warm style with the accuracy, dependability and expertise of The Weather Channel.  He will appear both in the studio, interacting with guests and viewers, and in the field, reporting on the most compelling weather stories of the day.

"Over the years, I have been out covering the same snowstorms, hurricanes and tornado aftermath as the folks at The Weather Channel. It is really exciting to be working on The Weather Channel, bringing the best weather information to people as they start their day," said Roker.  "And now I get free baseball caps and fleeces from two of the best information networks in the world."

Wake Up With Al will air live from both New York City and Atlanta.  Abrams will report from Atlanta from the state-of-the-art TWC HD studio, equipped with a 37-foot wide video screen and true HD weather graphics that have revolutionized TV weather presentation. An experienced meteorologist and host, she has covered first hand the most significant storms of the last decade.  That experience along with her boundless enthusiasm for weather and the science behind it makes her the perfect partner for Roker.

Roker has been the weather and feature reporter on NBC News' Today since January 1996.  Until January of 2000, he also served as the weekday weather forecaster for News Channel 4's early evening newscast Live at 5 on WNBC-TV, NBC's flagship owned and operated station in New York City.  Prior to joining WNBC, Roker worked as a weatherman for more than seven years. He is a recipient of the American Meteorological Society's prestigious Seal of Approval and has been a pioneer in the use of computer graphics for weathercasting.

Roker has reported live for Today throughout the years from some of history's worst storms including most recently when Hurricane Wilma threatened the Florida coast during one of the worst hurricane seasons on record. The seven-time Emmy Award winner is a member of several professional organizations including the Friars Club, American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, the Screen Actors Guild and the American Meteorological Society.

About The Weather Channel Companies

Research activities

i) Model Building and Phenomenology of Particle Physics (R. Barbieri, R. Contino, E. Trincherini)
The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics gives a successful description of high-energy processes but leaves many questions unanswered, like the origin of the electroweak symmetry breaking or the nature of the Dark Matter in the Universe. Finding an extension of the SM and a solution to these puzzles is the ultimate goal guiding our work. We are interested both in the construction of new models and in the investigation of their phenomenological consequences. An important role in this sense is played by physics at current and future colliders. Searches for new particles and a precise determination of the properties of the Higgs boson give powerful probes of new physics and are among the topics studied by our group.

ii) Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (R. Barbieri, E. Trincherini, A. Sagnotti)
The study of the connection between various extensions of the Standard Model of particle interactions and the current cosmological model.

iii) Supergravity, String Theory, Field theory (D. Francia, A. Sagnotti)
The study of perturbative string theory, with special attention to orientifold vacua, including string mechanisms of supersymmetry breaking. Other aspects of quantum gravity, selected non-perturbative aspects of field theory and Higher-spin Gauge Theory, with special attention to the flat limit.

Nuns and Cringe

Yes, young pious Tracy. 1979.

I cringe when I see a nun. It's not really unique. There are legions of Catholic school children, now adults, who likely cringe when they encounter these costumed women. My husband, who attended Catholic school for twelve years, shudders and exclaims when we pass the religious channel on television that features a heavyset nun named Mother Angelica. Marty's oldest childhood friend and classmate, Rob, claims he was worked over by a burly, bearded nun in a supply closet when he was in the fifth or sixth grade. I'm certain he cringes at the site of a black and white frock and habit.

I was spared a Catholic school education, mainly because of my mother's own post-traumatic stress. Mom has annals of personal nun abuse stories from Brooklyn. There was the cruel nun that made her sit outside on her birthday while the class ate the birthday treats. That meanie threw out her birthday corsage, too. This was punishment for toppling over a window plant. There was the high school nun, Sister Mary Magdalene, who used to mutter, "I'm going to rip your leg off and beat you with the bloody end." My mother can tend to embellish when she tells a story, but I still think it would be hard to make that up. There was the the Catholic summer camp nun in the Catskills who forced my tiny mother to dive into the murky lake repeatedly, stunting her swimming ability. And the ultimate stunt involves my mother's mature height. Mom heard of a study that correlates childhood anxiety in girls to stunted growth. My mother stands four foot eleven. She blames the nuns. So, even though I didn't climb elementary school stairs in a plaid jumper, I heard these stories enough to be fearful of the penguin ladies.

But I did have my own frightening penguin. Her name was Sister Kevin. Sister Kevin is the reason I cringe when I spot a nun, however infrequently that is these days. Interestingly, Sister Kevin has something to do with my fear of writing this blog, and even the fear of actually obtaining success if my memoir gets published. You see, Sister Kevin called me a show-off. She called me out.

She and her sidekick, Sister Raphael, ran the CCD program in town. My mother's post-traumatic stress did not free her of Catholic guilt. We had to make the sacraments; it's just the way it goes. A public school kid spends one afternoon hour each week for eight years in empty Catholic school buildings for religious training. It equates to about a two or three week prison sentence stretched out. I recall the moment of agony that would overcome me when I realized, riding on the bus home from school, that it was CCD day. I don't remember any of the curriculum, but my take-away from the religious training is that BOREDOM SUCKS. It's painful, stagnating, dreary. Boredom can crush a soul.

Back to Sister Kevin. She probably would have made a terrific actress. She may have been so bored herself at 4:00p.m. on Tuesdays at St. Mary's that she concentrated on perfecting the role of stern, vicious, jailer-nun. She waited to pounce like a sinister cat. She loved the disorder of overtired children because it gave her infinite method acting practice. She waited hungrily for late arrivees. She reveled in catching a student with a wad of chewing gum in his mouth.

It was an arduous Tuesday afternoon in sixth grade CCD. The teacher left to take a phone call in the office. Sister Kevin had called up through the intercom and told Mrs. Heinz about the call. We had been taking turns, row by row, reading paragraphs aloud from study bibles. The room was still for a moment. To be left alone was highly unusual. Whispers turned to giggles turned to laughter. I jumped up and took position at the front of the class. Now it was my turn to practice some acting. I started to mimic Sister Kevin. I liked to do impressions and voices. She was easy to do.

I saw Patrick Meehan's face before I saw her. I watched as his look of amusement morphed into terror. She was right outside the door. When I turned to look, her face registered...delight. She swooped in and grabbed me by the shoulder. She pressed her arm against my scared shoulders and ordered me down the stairwell into the school gymnasium.

It echoes in a gymnasium. She practically spat the words at me.

"You're nothing but a little show-off."

Ahhh...I'm cringing now.

I wonder if blogs like this are just a big show-off.

Poop-Smearing and Full Body Cringing

I was blessed with a placid first baby. Little Christopher had his moments, but generally he ate, slept, and hung out. Smiling. My husband, Marty, and I even took him on a trip to Europe when he was eighteen months old. We had friends living overseas, and traipsed around Paris like lovers, with an agreeable little boy in a stroller. On the long flight over we deposited him in the infant bassinet contraption that attached to the seatback infront of us and we all slept. Ahhhh....

I did know, even then, that we were lucky. I was not delusional that his good nature was simply a product of my expert parenting acumen. I am a worrier, and insecure, so to gloat about my part in this wasn't the conclusion I embraced. I had experienced the awful tragedy of losing my only brother when I was pregnant with Christopher. I reasoned that some higher-power was giving me a break. But there was this tiny part of me that looked at beastly children and their weary parents with wee condescension. Why don't they just strap that kid in the stroller and let him cry? Why doesn't that mom just stop giving in to her so much? Why don't they just say no and stick to it?

And then came Brendan. He arrived unexpectantly. No, I didn't deliver him myself, unaware of my pregnancy, like on that fabulous Discovery Health program that I rubberneck. His pregnancy showed its big blue plus sign in the bathroom of a Walgreen's, with calm toddler Christopher in the stall with me, just after I had quit my long-term job to start with a new company. I did not start that new job. Brendan launched me into the world of the stay-at-home mother. When I repeated the Walgreen's stall beginning to a friend who works for a giant retail pharmacy chain, she informed me that drug stores have a big shoplifting problem with girls who steal pregnancy tests and take them in the bathrooms. I might be the only person who learned of her pregnancy in a stall with a paid-for EPT test.

Brendan looked very much like his older brother. Light brown hair, big blue eyes, half-irish ethnicity shining (blinding?) from his skin. At first, it seemed like the sleeping beauty in the crib might be a repeat order. Ahhh, it's so pleasant to watch a baby sleeping.

And then he grew, grinned, crawled, ran, climbed up on tabletops, ripped, grinned running away from me towards traffic, SCREAMED, defied, slapped, dragged items out of cabinets and drawers, LAUGHED, banged into things and kept on running, hid from me in the house, tumbled down stairs, fought any kind of restraint (car seat, stroller, highchair) and threw any book I attempted to read him across the room triumphantly. But the worst...the most cringeworthy....was THE POOP SMEARING.

Calm three-year-old Christopher was by my side when we entered the room after Brendan's nap time and discovered the debauchery. Literally. Shit. Everywhere. Sheets. Crib. Face. Fingernails. He had even created a mural on the flat surface on one of the inside walls. He preened like a peacock. This one-year-old had defeated me and he knew it.

At first we stood in shock. Christopher's mouth hung open like mine.

"Ewwwhhh," he said. "Is that his poop?"

I cringed. It was a full physical clench, the kind that starts in your jaw and radiates up and down through your limbs like some form of electroshock therapy. I wondered if I would ever unclench. It was not merely the prospect of a toxic clean-up. It was that this being was MY KID. What the hell was waiting for me in the future?

There is not an ounce of parental smugness left in me. And, no, I don't want to submit this story to a parents magazine.

Parenting Magazines and Cringing

There is much advice available on the web, and from friends and strangers, about how to successfully launch a writing career. One recurring message is that I should submit articles to parenting magazines.

"You would be so good at writing those funny articles!"

The problem is: parenting magazines make me cringe.

I don't want to be the weary suburban mom who writes self-deprecating vignettes about her stained shirt, her stretched-out yoga pants, and her amazingly witty children. Blech. It is so boring. I marvel at how many people do not understand the basic fact that the only people who actually enjoy running "cute" stories about their children are their spouses and their mothers.

The worst articles are the crafty articles. Use leftover bobby pins to mount your daily decoupage projects. Create your own child harvest birthday party with horse-shaped chocolate lawn ornaments and raffia.

Anything craft-related makes me cringe.

So, I am going to have to find another outlet for submitting articles.

Thursday, March 4, 2010

I'm cringing as I write this. In the last few months, I've made the decision, the real decision, to attempt to publish the memoir that I spent six years writing. Until very recently, it was a floating idea in my daydreams. I daydream a lot and I cringe a lot.

The daydream took on a pretty regular reel: my book with a snazzy cover sits on a bookshelf at a quaint, tiny, bookshop (the kind with featured books hand-selected by the academic looking proprietor). I smile at the book and sigh with a nice content feeling. My book, called THE SHARK BRACELET, is the culmination of my efforts to tell the story of my brother and me. It gives credence to my time as a stay-at-home mom. See, while all of those other gals had perfectly mannered children and clean, organized homes, I actually wrote a whole book! And I think it's really good. So there.

This daydream was uncomplicated before I knew (and am still learning) the tremendous effort it takes to publish a book. It seems the easy part is writing it; the tough part involves securing a literary agent, who then has to secure a publisher, and many steps in-between.

One of those steps is writing a blog. Establishing an online presence. Ideally, I will amass a following of thousands who are so interested in my weekly cringes that they will stampede bookstores (quaint ones, huge mainstream ones, and online ones) to get their hands on my book.

Well, here I go. More about my book later.

Here's my weekly cringe: I rarely get dressed to drive my boys to school. It's early in the morning and it's been extremely cold in New Jersey this winter. I have this huge faux shearling coat that is about eight sizes too big for me. It hangs down to my ankles. Good coverage. I didn't realize that the center two buttons had popped off during this winter school-driving season. I notice this as I am standing in line for coffee. My coat is waved open, exposing my Lanz of Salzburg flannel nightgown with hearts and white doves on it. I know that I am the only woman under seventy-two who wears this night fashion, and definitely the only person in the world who wears it out in public. The guys behind the counter at Jersey Roasters are amused. The one who takes my order quickly scans my attire as I clutch my big, sloppy, coat closed. I know what he is thinking; he feels bad for my husband. I want to protest that he is wrong--a flannel nightgown is not necessarily an indicator of frigidity. But I just pay for my coffee and cringe as I walk to my salt-covered station wagon.

Heavy overcast and rainy, high 50s

The previous day we'd signed up for a 7½ hour Glacier Tour Cruise aboard a high-speed catamaran from Major Marine.

Spirit of Adventure Catmaran Tour Boat awaits Passengers

The cruise would go out Resurrection Bay, through the Chiswell Islands and up Aialik Bay into Kenai Fjords National Park to visit Holgate & Aialik Glaciers. We saw the glaciers, to be sure, and they were impressive. We didn't see them calve.

We did see pretty much wildlife including harbor seals, sea lions, sea otters, puffins and other birds. We even saw the backs of a couple of humpback whales as they fed among the Chiswell Islands. Sorry, no whale breeches. Those islands, by the way were beautiful. But they made for a crowded passage with pinnacles of granite that shot straight up out of the water.

To us it was a pretty good cruise. To others it was not so good. We each put on scopolamine patches before we left. The weather was rainy, foggy, windy and rough; like Alaska is supposed to be. Rounding the Chiswell Islands, both coming and going, we were exposed to the seas of the Gulf of Alaska, which were pretty rough. There were lots of seasick people aboard. Some got sick on the way out, more got sick on the return trip. We felt bad for them but, fortunately, we were fine.

We met up with Kay & Bill (Seems they just can't stop following us around!) and had dinner at Chinooks in town. Good meal, better company!

It rained all night.

Rain, low 50s

The forecast was to continue to rain for the next few days. While we thought about where to go next we had an excellent breakfast in town at Nellie's Alaskan Restaurant in the old part of town. Half making a decision to move on, we took showers back at the campground, packed up and headed back downtown to visit the Alaska Sea Life Center. Arriving there we said, "What the heck!" and set up the camper on the waterfront in a tiny, public campground adjacent to the Center's parking lot. We used the center's bathroom since it was open late and we had an all-day pass.

Downtown Seward

Alaska Sea Life Center had really nice aquariums and interesting displays and we easily spent a few hours there. We walked around town visiting the gift shops and galleries as well as the excellent hardware store.

Later, we returned to the Sea Life Center for a talk about sea otters. The center rescues sea creatures and attempts to heal them and return them to the natural environment. A couple of sea otter pups needed so much attention and for such a long time that they will not be able to return to the wild. Sea lions brought to the facility needed very little direct interaction and will easily return to the wild.

As we'd done a couple of days earlier, we dropped by the Seward Brewery pub for a drink. There we met a young couple who were on 30-day leave between their foreign service assignments. They had been in Indonesia; next assignment Islamabad. Life will be much more restrictive there than in their last assignment. So, they were busy blowing a wad on several high-end tours including a kayak trip in front of Aialik Glacier. Turns out they were probably the crazy people in kayaks who we'd when we visited the glacier on our tour.

Afterwards we returned to the camper and made a quick batch to chili. Along with a fresh salad it was the perfect antidote for a chilly, rainy evening.

Ishayhayi Beach

Yesterday, the Ishahayi Beach School Foundation took a trip out to the beach school. I always look forward to going out to the school because I love to see all the children with their beautiful smiles.:) When we all first got on the boat to get out to the beach we had to to don our beautiful face masks. The harmattan ( which is supposed to be over by now....mentioned in a post several months ago) is very think right now. The dust in the air is just hanging there and it is like a blanket keeping any other pollutants in the air as well. so, the ride was really interesting while we were all wearing masks an life vests to get out to the beach.

When we got there, the children were so excited to see us as was Lady Salami and all of the teachers at the school. We brought first aid supplies. There is a nurse on the foundation who was going to give a lesson on first aid for cuts and wounds...but she was sick yesterday. So, I volunteered to teach the teachers at the school what to do to take care of cuts if they happen at school. I couldn't believe how much fun i had. There were a few teachers who brought in notebooks and took notes on what to do. It was so humbling for me to listen to questions the teachers asked and realize they did not know how to handle situations that you and I would take for granted...but they really didn't know what to do. I really felt like I helped them yesterday. Lady Salami was so grateful to us for bringing the supplies that she had a few children from school cut some mangos down from the mango tree nearby and she also had a few boys us machetes to cut coconuts for us to take with us. ( I hope the first aid kit won't be used too soon!!!) On the way back home on the boat, some of us were talking about what a great visit we had out to the school. One of the ladies brought up the fact that it was so neat for the children to see that Lady Salami gave us the mangos and the Coconuts because they could see that the first aid supplies were not a hand out...but that they could also give us something. When I got home yesterday, I realized that the children had given me a happiness that can only come from doing something for another person...and I hope they could see that seeing them smile made me smile also. And everyone knows that a genuine smile is something that is priceless.:)

A little lagniappe for you (for those of you not familiar with New Orleans..this term means "something given by way of good measure. " However , I always thought of it as a little extra information.)

Jeremy: He was on the phone with my mom tonight telling her about things he had done today. We had just brought out our box of Easter decorations and the kids had been playing with the plastic eggs. He told her about the eggs. She asked him if there was candy in them. He said, " candy.....mommy said they have too much salt . Elizabeth and me just play with the eggs."

Elizabeth: We took the kids to the pool this afternoon, and they were both playing in the small pool. Guy and I were talking and as we were talking , Guy noticed that Elizabeth had taken one of Jeremy's Crocs and dunked it under water. Some of the water was coming out of the shoe....but the the rest of it was going into her mouth...yes, she was drinking POOL WATER OUT OF A SHOE!!!! That is my little genius.:)

A Run Towards the Cure

Yesterday, at Jeremy's school, there was a race/ walk for Breast Cancer. Cancer in general was a word that didn't really mean much to me until five years ago when my grandmother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Since then, I have known two other women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. One of the women I know is a mother of a little boy who is in class with Jeremy, and the other one is a dear lady i taught kindergarten with. I decided that this year I would participate in a cancer walk to help raise money for cancer research. I had never done a walk like this before, and it was so inspiring to see everyone there gathered for one important cause. It was a breast cancer walk, but the real purpose was to raise awareness of cancer...and to help women in early detection. I put my grandma's name on my t-shirt and the name of another woman who has breast cancer as well. My grandma may not have breast cancer, but she is a woman and all women need support for what they are going through.:)

A Birthday Present?

So, On Friday, there was a spouse's coffee morning at one of the lady's homes. I was particularly excited about this coffee because there was going to be a professional Nigerian head wrap artist there. I was a little embarrassed about how excited I was. I felt like a little girl who was going to get to put on make-up for the first time. I have been looking at the Nigerian women who have these beautiful head wraps on when they are walking down the street. It almost made me wish that it was a typical thing to have head wraps in the U.S. I have to admit, though, when she was wrapping my felt like my head was the gift and it was being wrapped like a present.:)

What was that??

On Tuesday, we were taking Jeremy to play with a friend on Ikoyi and as we were driving, Fatai said, "Madame, did you see that?" I said, "What?" and he said " the woman driving the okada!" I looked out my window and sure enough...there was a woman driving an okada!! I had not seen a woman driver on an okada ...and it is not very common around here. I told Fatai to slow down and he did ( he is used to me wanting to take pictures of everything.:)), but by the time I had my camera ready, he had already passed her. So, I asked him if he could pull over so I could take a picture of her out the window. She had stopped about 50 yards behind us at a fruit stand. I tried to zoom in to get a picture of her...but we weren't close enough. So, Fatai backed the car up a little bit so I could get a picture.:) I did get a picture (although it still isn't very good), and the woman was laughing at me. You never may only see one woman okada driver around here every ten I had to get the picture.:)

Something You Don't See Everyday

I was on the way home from Elizabeth's playgroup yesterday and was surprised to find this sight. These men were outside one of the embassies we passed by, and you might be wondering what they are doing on the side of the road. I wondered that also ...until I saw one of the men with a camera. They were taking passport photos right there on the side of the road; complete with a white background and a man holding an umbrella to block the glare of the sun! That is definitely something you won't see everyday!:)

An Unusual sign

I was in the car the other day after taking Jeremy to school ,and I noticed this sign. ( Just in case you can't read what it says, it says "No Trading, No Refuse Dumping, No Littering and No Begging") It has probably been there for a long time..but I had not noticed it before. It is definitely something I wouldn't find in the U.S. I just had to take a picture of it to share with you.:) The picture of the "No trading" and "No Begging" was what struck me as much different from signs you would see in the U.S.

The Big Party

On Saturday, we had a Prncess Party for the little princess who turned two.:) We invited some little girls from the compound to come over and wear their princess costumes. The girls had a ball making tiaras, puting on make-up, pinning the crown on the princess, looking for the "poison" apple, and passing around the glass slipper.:) Jeremy was so cute. He asked me every day starting on Wednesday if it was Elizabeth's birthday. He was so worried he would miss the party. I think he enjoyed the party even more that she did. I am sure he also enjoyed being the only boy at the princess party.:) The little princesses feasted on hot dogs, french fries, and chocolate cupcakes which they decorated themselves, and also pink vanilla ice cream. I think they all had a "royal" time.:)

Do you see a difference in these pictures?

The top picture is a picture of a one year old on Friday night and the bottom picture is a picture as a two year old on Saturday morning. I put a one year old to bed on Friday night and she woke up a two year old on little girl turned two.:) Happy Birthday Sweetheart!!!!!

Deaf and Dump

Today I was feeling a little bit down about missing my grandparents and aunt and uncle and cousins. I was in the car with Fatai when I looked out the window and saw a man standing next to the car in front of us at a stop light (yes, the cars actually stopped at a stop light today). He had a sign tied with a rope around his neck. I couldn't really see what it said from our car. He started walking towards our car...I had to look at the sign twice to really believe what it said. It said,"I am deaf and dump". At first I wanted to laugh.... I just couldn't believe that someone would put that on a sign...let alone wear it around his neck. Then, I thought about getting out of the car and at least correcting his sign. Then, I thought..that is really pitiful. Then, I contemplated taking a picture of the man because I couldn't believe what I was seeing. But, I decided against it...that would be too mean. Finally, I thought to myself," I thought my day was least I am not deaf and dump."

More Random Happenings

Here are a few things the kids have done in the past few days:

Elizabeth: Last night the kids were getting ready to take a bath. Jeremy was already in the tub. Guy was in the bathroom to give them a bath. I was in Elizabeth's room cleaning up from the day and putting toys away in her room. I had just dressed the doll she got for Christmas. She came in and gave me her doll and said, "Helpy!!!" as she tried to take the dress off the doll herself. I helped her take the dress off, and next she said," Shoo Shoo!!" So we took off the shoes and the diaper. Now, the doll was naked. She left the room with the doll. In the back of my mind I thought," I hope she doesn't put the doll in the tub." Just as I finished that thought, I heard Jeremy say, "Mommy, can the doll go in the tub??" Guy didn't even catch her put it in the tub...she was too quick. She looked at me with huge eyes because she couldn't think what she did wrong (I have to add that the doll was a Bitty Baby from American Girl..with hair) the doll was not cheap. I looked at the doll floating in the tub and then looked back at Elizabeth...and I just couldn't be mad at her. As I was brushing out the doll's hair so it would dry...I thought to myself...what a smart little girl I have.:)

Jeremy: Guy went in to check on him after he was in bed last night. Jeremy told him, "Daddy, I am praying to God." Guy asked him what he was praying for. Jeremy said,"I am praying that Elizabeth doesn't pinch me, and I pray that Elizabeth doesn't pull my hair." Guy said, " You can also thank God for things." Jeremy looked at him and thought for a minute and said," I Thank God for all of my toys."

Waholla......what does that mean??? It is a Nigerian term for big trouble. I heard Fatai use that word today when we were driving in the car. There had been an accident (not us) in front of us. Of course many Nigerians are drawn to a confrontation for no reason at all...several other drivers proceeded to get out of their cars and approach the driver who was at fault. This resulted in about 7 cars without drivers who were blocking the road. About 10 minutes later and a few shoves and pushes.....the drivers all returned to their vehicles. Fatai honked at the driver in front of us getting back into his car...and the other driver flipped us off!!!! I couldn't believe is not just a U.S. thing. I mentioned it to Fatai and he said, " I know ...he was shaking his finger at me." and he put up his index finger to show me. I knew that wasn't the finger that was used...and had to laugh quietly to myself. As we approached the bridge...there was a "go slow"
(traffic jam). The public works people decided that it would a good idea to go out and change the light bulbs in the street lights during the day when the traffic was so busy. Fatai was funny. He said," They are only changing the lights now to show that they are working." I had to laugh because I am sure that is exactly why they were doing that then. They could have done it at night when the traffic isn't so bad. Finally, after we crossed the bridge, we were stopped by a man in the middle of the road with a flashlight. He put his hand up for us to stop and then took the flashlight and aimed it to the sky as if he was looking for something...but of course there was nothing there! He wasn't a police officer...just a mad man! So, that was my experience with waholla! What a day!:)

Time is such a strange thing. When you want it to seems to go by so slowly. When you want it to slow seems to slip buy too quickly. Last week, if I could have made time stand still, I would have. I could not have asked for a better week. It is a week that I will tuck away in my most precious memories of my life. The fact that I was able to spend an entire uninterrupted week with my aunt, uncle, cousins, grandparents and my grandmother in particular was such a gift...there are no words to truly describe how special it was to see her with my children and really get to enjoy them. Time is always the constant in life...there is no way to speed it up or slow it down. But, we can choose how to spend our time and I have to say that last week was the best way I could have ever spent my time. We never know how much time we will be I always have to remember to tell people I love them and let people know I care. My grandma is a true inspiration to me...she has battled ovarian cancer for five years and she still faces every day as a gift...I guess that is why I have heard that it is termed "the present".

Where in the world Am I??

I realized today that it has been over a week since I have done a post on the blog. I didn't even have a lot of time past week to say that I was going to be out of Lagos all this week. I am in Michigan with the kids visiting my very strong, very brave grandmother in Michigan. Yes, I made the trans-Atlantic trip from Africa to Atlanta with a stop in Detroit and finally landing in Kalamazoo , Michigan with a four year old and an almost two year old all by myself!!!!:) It was the first time I made the trip with the kids all by myself straight through to the states. I have to say that I was a little nervous about travelling alone with both the kids the whole journey...but I was pleasantly surprised that both of them did really well. The bus ride to the air port last Friday was okay. Lizzy pulled Jeremy's hair a few times and then had to add a pinch in here and there...but nothing too bad. When we arrived at the airport, I never knew it could be so unbearably hot in one building! Of course, there is not a rhyme or reason to the way they have things set is always different. But, I did figure out what line I needed to be in. There was a line of people 6 deep I was standing in waiting for officials to rifle through our bags and see what we had all packed. I was standing there and just sweating...i had not been that least I can't remember being that hot...not event the weekend of small world.:) My shirt looked like I had gotten out of the shower and I looked at Lizzy and her hair was wet and standing up all over the place. Jeremy had trickles of sweat coming down his chin. I decided about 30 seconds into waiting in that line that I didn't care if the kids crawled all over the Lagos airport floor as long as they didn't start screaming and crying...I could get through this.( Afterall...isn't that why God invented sanitizing wipes??) I was thinking it was just me being one of the only oyibos in the airport that couldn't take the heat until I heard a Nigerian man say to the officials looking through the bags," Could you hurry this up...we are toasting in here!" Amen to that!!! Then, I knew it was HOT!!!! I am not kidding when I tell you it took about an hour just to have our bags checked...then, I had to go to the ticket this mascara was running down my face...not from crying...from sweating. I had never seen a ticket attendant move so slowly..but we did get our boarding passes. Next, we went through the security gate and had our carry ons x-rayed and went through the magnetometers. Jeremy is so good about taking off his shoes and putting his back pack up to get checked. Finally cleared through all of that. I realized I didn't bring the ham and cheese rolls I had Happiness make I went to one of the few restaurants in the Lagos airport and they had spaghetti. I was happy because I knew the kids would eat spaghetti. I ordered and the man told me " Sorry, no spaghetti sauce." I knew I wasn't getting them anything to eat there that night. I had granola bars and goldfish and that was our dinner. Since the security is such an issue, we arrrived at the airport early at about 5 :10 p.m. ...but our flight didn't leave until 10:30 p.m. so we had a lot of time to kill. The kids played with toys in their backpacks and Lizzy made friends with a lot of Nigerian ladies. We went to sit at our gate at about 8 p.m and at about 8:15 the lights all went we were sitting in darkness. Very typical in Nigeria. Jeremy was a little scared...but we sang some songs and after about 45 minutes and a few Nigerian airport workers yelling at each other...the lights came back on. At about 9:15 they made everyone get back in lines to recheck passports and boarding passes and then to go through our carry on luggage again and then to pat our bodies down...I also had to remove my shoes again!!! The kid and I went to get on the plane and the doors were literally chained shut. I was talking to another man there and asked him if he knew why they searched the bags since they had already been through the x-ray machine and why they do a body pat down again after we went through the magnetometer. I should have known the answer. He said that the magnetometers don't work at all and that the x-ray machines are not that good. But, he didn't have an answer as to why we couldn't get on the plane yet...I can explain it " That's Nigeria!" Anyway, we did get to board and then we were all settled in about 10:20 the pilot came on and said we were all ready to go...but the plane didn't have enough fuel..there was an automated refueling machine...but of you think it worked??? Not a chance in *&%$!!!! So, the only other logical thing to do was to shuttle the fuel in in trucks. So, the kids and I sat in the plane until 12:30 am. until the plane was fully fueled and we could take off. I will say that both the kids were very well behaved and slept most of the time...thank goodness!! However, I did miss my connection in Atlanta and had to take a later connection to Detroit and then finally to Kalamazoo where my sweet Aunt, Uncle and cousin were all waiting for us.:) It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good to see them! I felt pretty good after the flight which surprised me......and I was so happy the kids did so well.:)
Now, why am in Michigan? I brought my kids to see my grandma. She has battled ovarian cancer for five years now, and although she is still fighting this terrible disease, I just knew in my heart it is time to bring the children back to see their great grandmother. She has been a very important person in my life....she has given me advice on friends, life, and she has even been on the other end of the line to hear me cry about a terrible haircut.:) You would never know by looking at her how much she has suffered and fought through this illness...she is not the type of person who wants any sympathy.....and she doesn't have sympathy from me...she has all of my love and admiration. It is a blessing she has been able to fight this disease for five years...she has really beaten alot of the odds some doctors had given her at the beginning. That is why when my daughter was born...there was no question that her name would be Elizabeth (after my grandmother). I was told I had a less than one percent chance of ever becoming pregnant...and my Elizabeth is here. These two Elizabeths are very strong girls!!:) I wanted my children to spend time with their great grandmother, and for her to enjoy them. And, I have to say that both my grandparents have laughed and had so much fun with the kids. And, to me, that makes this whole trip worth it. We are only here for such a short time, and it is so important to let the ones we love know we cherish them. In the upcoming days, I will share some pictures of the children with my wonderful Grandmother and Grandfather. There aren't too many people I would fly half way around the world for...but are definitely one of them!!!:) I love you!:)

We’ve been told that Christianity is a journey.

And what’s every traveller’s worst nightmare? Getting lost. Or not even being aware of the fact.

So we must take measures to see that the nightmare does not become our story.

It’s simple –

We must know where we’re going. And we must remain on the path that we’ve been shown.

In The Church today series, we consider our journey again as Christians – the Church.

Do we still remember where we’re going? And are we still on the path we’ve been shown?

We begin with the Church as I remember it by  Evangelist Humble Williams. Evangelist Humble Williams serves with Chapel of the cross, Port Harcourt.

In the Church and her music, we are in conversation with Rev Christy Bature, a Gospel minister and musician from Nigeria.

We talk to Lucky Mwaanga in the Church and her mission. Lucky Mwaanga is a missionary currently based in Ukraine.

We conclude the series with the Church and her youths, where we talk to Samuel David Abangwu, a youth leader serving with Assemblies of God, Jos, in Nigeria.
