It’s a Family Affair

God is faithful and has brought another precious daughter into our lives!

I would like to introduce to you my soon to be daughter-in-love, Sandy.

She may be small in stature but this butterfly has a big, loving heart and is a breath of fresh air to our family.

Sandy and Daniel compliment each other – both love the Lord and are strong, passionate and heart-driven!

“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!”

When I met her dad and step-mom, I instantly fell in love with them. And wouldn’t you know it, Sandy’s father is a pastor, a fixer of souls, and has a beautiful voice as well!

Both Emilio and his beloved wife, Katie, are active members in their community, preaching, ministering and touching lives wherever they go, sharing the Word and love of God.

We love our Daniel with all our hearts!

My heart is filled with joy!

“I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.”

Getting our pretty on with the bride to be!

One of our many outings together as a family!

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Heavenly Father.”

These two shall become one!

Does Size Matter?

Something doesn’t sit right with me, and here it is. I have heard numerous times how one has to dream “big” in order to achieve something, or become something, or change something. You know the old adage: Dream big or go home. I’ve come across some other sayings such as: If your dreams don’t scare you they aren’t big enough. Say what? Listen, I’ve got plenty of dreams, okay? Your dreams may not be my dreams, and I can guarantee that my dreams are not your dreams! But a dream is a dream is a dream. I just don’t buy the line, hook and sinker that screams your dream doesn’t count or isn’t as important if it isn’t “big”! No sir! No ma’am!

Think what you will, but you can’t look down on my dream and say that yours is more important than mine. Or that my dream doesn’t count because it isn’t as”big.” Who are you to downplay my dream? Have you walked in my shoes?

When I wrote, “Running in Heels: A Memoir of Grit and Grace” I not only mention some of the heartaches I endured as a child and young adult, but I also mention the good times, the happy times, and the contented times. And you know what? Some looked down on those cheerful events that I wrote about because it seemed insignificant to them. Is that fair? Hey, I’m tickled pink you had a  much “happier” life than me, nonetheless, those were my good times and they meant everything to this girl. And I will tell you this: I am a dream come true.

We all have goals, we all dream dreams. Don’t try to be like anyone else. Be yourself and follow your heart. Pursue your dreams and don’t ever quit. Timing is everything and sometimes it takes baby steps. But don’t allow anyone to downplay your dreams! Ever. No matter the size.

Harness Your Fears

10363671_10209350480986849_8881949637113864818_nThe Adventure-etts recently went on another road trip. We went ziplining, y’all. Got a bird’s eye view surrounding mountains, meadows and canyons, even, zipped above a small waterfall. Had to do a lot of mountain and cliff climbing, but after getting air back into our lungs, we zipped across ten separate ziplines. It was a blast!

What about my fear of heights, you asked? Well, I harnessed my fears! On the first try (after three steps forward and two back), my eyes focused straight ahead, as I walked off the plank and went over and zippidy-do-da across!

I felt exhilarated. After the third zipline, I was able to look down at the view.

The girls and I had a great time.

Would I do it again? Heck yeah! Would love to go with my grandson next.

Remembering the Challenger Crew

From left: Ellison Onizuka, Mike Smith, Christa McAuliffe, Dick Scobee, Greg Jarvis, Ron McNair and Judith Resnik.

“The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and ‘slipped the surly bonds of earth’ to ‘touch the face of God.’”

“Sometimes, when we reach for the stars, we fall short.

But we must pick ourselves up again and press on despite the pain.”

Rise to the Occasion

Bucket list. I imagined I would. Some day. Always wanted to. But never really thought I’d actually go through with it.

My posse and me

I’ve been away on a mini-vacation, a road trip to San Marcus and to San Antonio. Not only did I go, but I went on this excursion with some great gal friends of mine. Overall, it was an exhilarating ride!

I learned a few things on this trip.

I learned that if you put your mind to a thing, you can fulfill a task (if you plan ahead). I learned that schedules don’t always go according to your plans. You may come across a few bumps and potholes along the way, and the winding roads of life may take a bit longer to get to your destination. And I learned that I don’t always do well during these obstacles. (Ahem.)

You see, my expectations may be to do thus and so, and once my mind is made up, I am in a wee bit hurry in getting there. But I also learned that it’s best to stop and smell the roses and make every second count. Because if you don’t, then you’ll regret that you didn’t do better when you easily could have. I learned (and I sometimes forget) to choose my battles and not all hiccups mean the end of the world! I learned that making each moment count are what makes every memory cherished. I learned that as much as I have strengths, I still have weaknesses that need work. Egads! I learned that growing older doesn’t necessarily mean you stop learning. I learned that no matter what, there is always something to be grateful for. And I learn (sort of already knew) that I have the bestest of friends! We love and accept one another–flaws and all–and if feeling down, we lift the other up!

So what did we do, you ask? You mean besides the driving, shopping, dining, visiting my in-laws, and shopping some more?

We went Up, Up and Away in My Beautiful Balloon!

Now those who know me know that I have acrophobia (not to be confused with arachnophobia, which I also happen to be but that’s another topic). Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I have a fear of heights. Or is it a fear of falling? Either way, I tend to get the heebie-jeebies. I discovered I wasn’t the only one among us who was set on facing this fear. And so face it we did; we rose to the occasion. Matter of fact, I was so busy taking photos on my phone, I didn’t have much time to allow that nervousness to take over!

Before take off, once the pilot said to hop in, we (about fifteen total in all) scrambled up inside that basket (with a little assistance from the crew), howbeit somewhat clumsily with one of our legs unable to lower from the ledge of the basket down in our tight space. So much for dignity.

To Deborah, Judy and my new friend, LeAnn: Thanks for the memories. What’s next?

For your enjoyment, here are a few photos of our adventure.

All for one and one for all!

So Long for Now …

“Fred, Eric, Sarah, and Michael – to all of Susan’s extended family and beloved friends: My family and I extend our sincere condolences.”

FullSizeRender (50)

Susan’s family

“My heart is heavy today. Susie was my friend. She reached out to me when I was going through some personal pain in my life. She welcomed me and my family into her heart and into her home some 30 + years ago. Our daughters the same age, became close friends, her youngest son and my son, a year apart, became diaper-buddies. Our husbands (during my first marriage) even grew close!”

“I’d watch Susie. She had such an up-beat personality and her words were always so encouraging. Even when I didn’t feel so ‘upbeat’ and ‘positive’, I couldn’t remain feeling down for too long around her. She had a way of hugging you while she patted you on the back … hard! Being around Susie, I learned how to communicate with my small children. I learned how to laugh with them. Susie just had a way with children – she genuinely liked them! I don’t think she ever met a stranger; conversation simply flowed out of her mouth and she truly cared for that one she was speaking to.”

“Susie had child-like faith, always believing that her Heavenly Father was ready to grant her simple requests. Whether it was the petition for the salvation of loved ones, or to save our nation, whether she sought a miracle for a deformed child or for the healing of herself – she knew that there was nothing too hard for God to handle, and never wavered in standing on His promises. She was a true worshiper. She loved to danced before the Lord and become lost in His presence. I don’t doubt she is up there now, dancing with our Savior!”

“Susie believed in hope. Hope against hope. Hope for a better day. Hope that God had something better. Hope that tomorrow would come. She trusted, loved, prayed, believed, laughed, encouraged, interceded, danced, worshiped, sang, rejoiced, wept, and praised! She convinced me that I could make it, that everything would be okay, that I was destined for greatness, and that with God ALL things were possible to them that believed.”

“I enjoyed being around her, but towards the end I am ashamed to admit that I grew uncomfortable. We sometimes cower in the things we do not understand. We cringe from anything that may appear bleak before our eyes and before we know it our resolve weakens, our faith wavers, our hope diminishes. Yet, our God is constant. Aren’t you glad His love’s unwavering, His tender mercies unfailing, His grace enduring? He doesn’t give up on any of us! He says in His Word His grace is sufficient for us – His strength is made perfect in weaknesses.”

“Susie, thank you for the memories. You will be sorely missed. I rejoice knowing that your pain and suffering has ended. When you took you last breath here on earth, your next breath became your first one in heaven.  You get to experience Christmas everyday now, while we plod along doing all we know to do just to make it through another day.”

“And we who are left behind, may we not grow weary as we continue on this journey. May those of us who know Christ, remember that this is not our permanent home. Through every tragedy, every trial and every triumph, remind us Lord, that You, oh God, have something greater in store for us. Although there are times we may not understand Your ways, God, may we remember that we can trust Your heart – for You know what’s best for Your children.”

“They say that I was a great friend to Susie, but it was she who was a great friend to me.”

Doing what she enjoyed doing best.

I’ll always remember my friend, Susie Bubeck, and forever treasure our friendship of the many years we shared together! One day we will all reunite, but today we sadly said goodbye to her.

Ode to a Mother’s Heart – Part II

Last month, I attended the funeral of a co-worker’s daughter. She was only twenty-seven years old. A beautiful soul, inside and out. She and her mother were connected to the hip. As a mother myself, I could only imagine the thoughts rolling around in this mother’s head, the depth of the pain in her heart, the weight of the burden upon her shoulders, and the hundreds of unanswered questions that most likely wanted to consume her.

This week, I attended yet another funeral of the untimely death of a mother’s child. This son was just twenty-two years old and had even served in the military. He was his mother’s pride and joy: strong, handsome, charming; his whole life ahead of him. To witness the pain in this mother’s eyes, touched me with every fiber of my being.

12243055_10208686278737278_927864441355928982_n                  12115456_10208686275017185_3722922376200647428_n

For these families, I imagine there will be many tomorrows before the pain eases.

I don’t care how tough you think you are, a parent having to bury their child will bring anyone to their knees! For a parent to have to bury a child, it is a bitter pill to swallow. A myriad of emotions run rampant. The mind replays a flood of memories. The inner voices and screams cry out in despair and in utter darkness in mid day!

For this tragedy to have happened to these families – any family – my heart grieves for them. But especially for the mother. I can only fathom the sheer loneliness of a mother’s heartbeat for the loss of her child, no matter what age. Surely, every tear that escape serves as an expression of a genuine love embedded in a mother’s heart for a lifetime, more so than the nine months she carried that child in her womb.

I’ve asked myself why many times. But I think I know the reason why I tend to weep upon hearing the first sound of a newborn’s cry. I am reminded that a little miracle came out of me! A fresh start. New beginnings. Those cries remind me of that special moment in time where I first felt pure joy, hope, and thanksgiving. I am awaken to a sea of memories of the dreams and plans for this gift of a new life after giving birth. As fate would have it, not every dream comes to fruition, not every wish becomes a reality. There are many joys and sorrows in caring for children. But I imagine no sorrow can compare to having to say goodbye to your little one (young or old), knowing that it should have been the other way around.

I hurt for these mothers. Although they may never get over the loss of their child, I pray in time, they will get through it.

If I Had Known …

If I had known then what I know now,

I would have stopped the clock and savor every precious moment.

Instead, I found myself encumbered with the daily task of trying to keep afloat in being a mother.

If I had know then what I know now,

I would have frozen time just to gaze upon your little chest, rising and falling with every heartbeat while you slept peacefully in your crib.

If I had known then what I know now,

I would have sung more lullabies while rocking you on my lap, nestled in my arms, given you more kisses, and chased away all nightmares.

I’d have tickled you harder, squeezed you tighter, laughed with you louder, played silly games with you longer.

I would have taken more walks in the park, built many sand castles, eaten more ice cream cones with sprinkles, dug for the best sea shells, rode on all the merry-go-rounds, climbed every rock, smelled every flower, played catch more, run through the rain puddles, taken more photos and captured every single moment with you!

I was needed when you were small; you relied upon me then. If I only could now, I would hold you closer still, wipe your every teardrop, chase your every fear, and never let you down.

But the tide has turned, I can only watch from a distant. The sun has set and hidden beyond the horizon. My silent tears serve as a constant reminder that the times are fleeting. With every hour. Every minute. Every second.

My heart swells with pride to see that you, my children, have blossomed and matured.

But if I had known then what I know now … I would have done things so much different. I would have hushed the madness with all the hustle and bustle sooner, and cherished those magic moments when you were small, to cradle you in my arms forever and never, ever let you go.

Math = Love: Statistics Interactive Notebook Pages 2015-2016

Statistics Interactive Notebook Pages 2015-2016

Have you ever wondered what an entire interactive notebook looks like?  Today I want to share with you one of my student's notebooks from last year's statistics class.  I didn't do the best job of blogging all my notebook pages last year.  I blame it on the craziness of getting married last school year!

Many of these pages should look familiar because I did blog about some of them!

These notebook pages are based off of an older edition of BVD's Stats Modeling the World textbook.

Each unit started out with a unit divider/table of contents/score tracking sheet.  I blogged about this system here.

Our first activity of the year was the hiring discrimination activity from The Practice of Statistics.  This activity got a blog post here!

Next was a Q and A section taken straight from the BVD stats book:

Vocabulary Sheet for Unit 1.  This idea failed TERRIBLY.  Having my students copy down vocab words took waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy too long.  We don't have stats books, so I can't make them copy down the vocab on their own time.

Class Survey Results.  I typed up the results for the class so we could use this data throughout the rest of the course.

Students had to write down observations from our class results.

W's Foldable:

This was another foldable where I asked my students to do too much writing.  I should have pre-typed most of that!

W's Practice Problems:

Next, students had to design their own survey and label the cases and results.  This didn't go as well as I'd hoped.  Next time I teach stats, I'll make much more structured notes for this lesson!

Categorical vs Quantitative Variable Card Sort (Blog Post)

My last attempt at vocabulary for the year.

3 Rules of Data Analysis:

Unit 2!

Graphs In The News Foldable.  This also became a blog post last year!

Titanic Contingency Tables:

Students had to design a survey to determine if two variables were independent or dependent.

Contingency Table Practice:

M&M Lab - This was modified from @druinok.  Almost all of what I have is thanks to her and her willingness to share resources!

We made a pocket to hold our practice cards:

Unit 3!

Quantitative Data Displays Foldable:

You can see that I accidentally typed something under the wrong section.  Oops!

We practiced making graphs from our class survey results.

I love the SOCS acronym that @druinok shared with me.  I blogged about this foldable here.

We looked at the shape, outliers, center, and spread of the Kentucky Derby Winning Times from 1875 to 2008.

And, then we did even more SOCS practice!

Unit 4!

Numerical Center Practice:

Silly me accidentally put the same problem twice inside this foldable.  Another oops moment!

I made them go through the process of finding standard deviation by hand before showing them how to do it on their calculators.

Standard Deviation Practice:

Interquartile Range Notes:

We did some basic IQR practice:

Then, we did an IQR vs. Standard Deviation Card Sort.  I blogged about this card sort here.

We traced our hands and wrote out the 5 facts that should be reported in a 5 number summary.  I blogged about this lesson here.

Remember that class survey data?  We used it to make our own five number summaries!

Notes on Making a Boxplot

We collected some data playing Tenzi and used that to practice making boxplots.

Tenzi Game dice color may vary .

Originally, my plan was to have my students play two different versions of Tenzi and compare their results.  You can get a book that contains 77 different ways to play!

Tenzi 77 Ways to Play Tenzi
In the end, we just ended up playing using the normal rules TWICE.  So, we compared our Tenzi results as an inexperienced player and an experienced player!

What are the numbers in the 8 boxes?  They are the number of seconds it took my students to finish a round of Tenzi.  If I were to do this again (and I definitely would!), I would have my students maybe count the number of rolls it took them to reach Tenzi.

Tenzi Box Plots:

We followed this up with another game, the Game of Greed.  I got game from @druinok, as well.  I blogged about this game here.

We did a bit of comparing boxplot practice.

Unit 5!

Next, we did a Halloween Statistics activity to examine how shifting and rescaling a variable affects the summary statistics.

We wrote up some summary notes to describe what happened:

Then, it was time to talk z-scores!  I blogged about introducing z-scores here.

Z-Score Formula:

Calculating and Comparing Z-Score Notes

Normal Model Notes:

Normal Model Tables:

Z-Table Practice:

Z-Scores In Reverse:

More Normal Distribution Practice:

Unit 6!

Foldable with Random Number Table Inside:

Steps for a Simulation:

Simulation Practice:

And, that's a wrap for Statistics 2015-2016.  We did a bunch of projects as well, but those were made into posters and presentations.  Hope you've enjoyed this jaunt through our notebook from last year!  Some day, I hope to write blog posts for some more of these pages and post downloads/more details.  If only I had more to just blog!

  1. Did you post your W's foldable? I would love to use that for my statistics unit. Thanks.

    1. Haven't blogged about it YET, but you can find the file here:

    2. Thank you very much! My colleagues and I have edited your dividers for 6th grade math and science and we love them. Fabulous idea! Now the English teachers want them.

  2. Thanks for sharing. I'm in the process of doing an ISN with my AP Stats class. It's my second year teaching stats. Always looking for new ideas for pages. We've done experimental design, data analysis, and are working through z-scores and the normal distribution right now. Would love a link to resources when you are able to set that up. I enjoy adapting to fit the AP class versus are regular stats class.

  3. I would dearly love to get the links to the z-score and normal distributions documents. That is what I'm teaching right now. I'm going to attempt to recreate from what I see on your blog but would love the documents. Email is

    1. Just sent the files your way. Let me know if you need any more!

  4. This is amazing! I'm studying to become a math teacher, and statistics is one of my weak points. Thank you for including so many resources and ideas all in one place. I love your posts that explain what you're doing day-to-day, but this is a real treat to have a bird's-eye view of an entire academic year. I especially appreciate when you tell us what *didn't* work. I know I'll make plenty of mistakes on my own, but I'd like to avoid as many as possible! Thanks again!

  5. Much as I love your ideas for all of your classes, it is a little overwhelming for a soon to be first-year teacher to think about incorporating all of them. Do you have recommendations on which exercises/methods/tools are most helpful and should be prioritized?

  6. Hey Sarah, do you mind sending me the M&M lab? email:
    (If you have any other cool activities that you want to share too, I'll take it :P ) Thanks!

  7. Sarah, I just stumbled upon your site and I love it! I'm teaching Discrete Math and Stats for the first time this year, and I wish I had found you sooner so I could start INB's at the beginning of the year. Can you send me your notes for Normal distribution? email: Thanks!

  8. Hello! I love your blogsite! I have used many of your foldables in my Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 class! Would you mind sending me or posting a link to your foldables for the Comparing Box plots and the z score practice I would greatly appreciate it!

  9. HEY!!!! I LOVE YOUR NOTEBOOKS!!! They have been a huge help to me with helping to make my classes more involved. I wanted to know if you have the Statistic files from this page uploaded anywhere, or if possible would you be able to email me the ones I was planning on covering. I teach Algebra 2 and our next Module is statistics.

    1. E-mail sent. Thanks for reading my blog!

    2. HI Sarah, I am a new Stats Math teacher (formerly 6th grade) and I was wondering if you would please share your Statistics files from this page, I would love to use them with my class. We are using the same book as your class. Thank you!

  10. Hey Sarah!

  11. Hi Sarah! I love all your stats stuff and am so excited to teach stats because of your cool ideas! I was wondering if you would be able to share your Unit 3, 4, and 5 stuff? I would appreciate it so much! Thank you in advance!

    1. thank you so much! Would you be okay sharing the Unit 6 and 7 stuff too? I would love to reciprocate and share something with you...if you need anything :) I teach Alg2 and Geo ;-) rschultz @

      Thank you!!

    2. Hi Sarah! I love all your algebra/stats stuff. I was wondering if you would be able to share your Unit 3, 4, and 5 from Statistics?

  12. Hi! Would love anything to start creating these notebooks, I am teaching statistics and algebra for the first time :)

  13. I've been able to find most units zip files on your blog...but can't find 5,6, or 7. Do you have those posted somewhere? We don't offer statistics every year at our school, but it is looking like it is going to form next year and I just want to get a jump start this summer!

  14. Thank you so much for sharing your unique ideas. I absolutely love them! I"m planning to implement as many of your lessons as possible next year. We don't have textbooks for statistics so your materials are invaluable. Would it be at all possible for me to get access to the m&m lab from unit 2 as well as all of your materials for units 5, 6, and 7? My e-mail is I'm not sure I have anything worth trading as most of my materials were found online but I'd be happy to show you what I have if you're interested. Thanks in advance.

  15. It seems I end up teaching a new class each year, and with limited resources, your blogs seem to be where I get most of my materials. Thank you so much!!! I consider stats to be my area of weakness, and I am attempting to teach a crash 1/2 credit survey course in it over the summer. Any chance you would share Units 4 - 7 with me? My email is
    Thanks so much!

  16. I absolutely love your work! You are so creative! I'm getting ready to teach AP Statistics and non-AP Statistics this year. Do you have all your Statistics files posted anywhere or would you be willing to share them with me? My email is Thank you so much!

  17. HI, am teaching statistics for the 1st time this year do you mind sharing.
    Thank you so much for your help.

  18. Hey Sarah,

    I have been reading your blog for a few years and love your stuff. I have implemented some with a lot of success and others without much success but we teach in two different settings. I want to thank you for all you share.

    I am teaching Statistics this year for the first time in two year with the BVD and would love a copy of your resources, if possible.

  24. Hi Sarah! I've been digging through and enjoying reading posts on your blog ever since I stumbled upon your Functions overhaul. Would it be at all possible for me to get access to the m&m lab from unit 2 as well as all of your materials for units 5, 6, and 7? I can't seem to find them on this page. My e-mail is Thanks so much!

  25. Is there any way you could let me have your unit 7 statistics notebook files? I'm getting ready to do this unit in Algebra 2 and love your materials.

  26. I just want to let you know how much of a saving grace you have been for me this year! This is my first year to teach Algebra I and Statistics. Before this, I was a 7th/8th grade math teacher. You helped me to get a focus on many of the skills. I want to thank you for selflessly taking time to blog and post your material! Is there any chance that you can share the files from this page. I have some of your notes already, but there is so much here that I would love to have! Thanks again! Mary Moore

  27. Sarah,

    I am embarking on the journey of teaching statistics and INB for the first time next year. Would you be willing to share ALL of your INB pages with me?

Connectix game

A while ago I created a board game called Connectix. The goal of the game is to connect three seemingly random words written on a card. These connections can be quite far-fetched, an example would be:

finger gun eye

The players see only the three words on a card. One player picks up the card and either knows the connection and explains it, or he bluffs and tells a random story he made up (“the forefinger was called gun-finger and eye-finger in the past”). The other players than vote if they believe the story or not.

The player gets points based on the amount of votes: if he lied he gets as much points as there were people who believed him. If he told the truth, he gets as much points as people that thought it was a lie.

So the game consists of luck (the cards you get), knowledge and creativity. Too bad it apparently was too difficult to play :D

Solution: Bond-movie titles with the word 'gold' in it: Goldfinger, the Man with the Golden Gun and Goldeneye.

With each card there was an extra bit of trivia attached, to keep it a bit light-weight. In our example:

Goldeneye was the first bond movie not based on a story by Ian Fleming, but the title was based on Ian Fleming's life: it's the name of his summerhouse.

Connectix prototype packaging the prototype packaging, with the gameboard, voting cards and riddles

Resurrection on Facebook

So the board-game didn’t completely work out. But that doesn’t mean the game is over!

I have resurrected the game on Facebook:

The ‘bluff’ element has been taken out (because impossible on Facebook) and the riddles have become a bit more difficult (because Google…)

update july 2018: apparently there is a scientific interest in this idea, there’s even a test (Remote Associates Test, the RAT) to measure combinatory thinking. Developed by Sawyer in 2013. Here’s an article in English using Dutch words and here’s the article I found this reference.

Live Drawing: Industry Night

December 10, 2016

This Monday is the new Industry Night show!

Check the Chronicle listing HERE.

Todd is the resident sketch artist for Industry Night.

During every show, Todd is there to make an original piece of art that captures, in comics-style, all of the different acts and vibes of the show that evening. The art is then given away at the end of the show to a lucky someone who is either pre-determined or a triumphant hero of the “Beer Olympics” which have occurred after the show several times in the past.

INdustry Night is a sketch comedy and variety show that features some extremely talented actors, comedians, musicians, and alternative performers from the Austin area.

HERE are some of the drawings that Todd came up with during various Industry Nights.

‘End the devastating austerity drive against Greece’: U.S. doctors group

Troika-imposed policies causing widespread suffering and death, physicians say The following statement was released today by Physicians for a National Health Program.

The 19,000 members of Physicians for a National Health Program call upon the European Union, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund – the so-called troika – to cease imposing harsh austerity policies on the Greek people that have gravely damaged the Greek health care system and have caused unnecessary death and suffering.

Our Greek colleagues in medicine and public health have documented a tragic deterioration in the quality and availability of care.

In the past, Greece’s national health system provided universal access to care. Now, millions of people are unable to obtain the services they need. The barriers to care in Greece increasingly resemble the barriers our patients face in the United States, where tens of millions remain uninsured despite the Affordable Care Act.
Today in Greece, vital health institutions are being starved of resources or privatized, and despite the heroic efforts of many Greek physicians and nurses, care is increasingly reserved for the wealthy few.

3 not-so-suckass aspects of Long distance relationships you must know

Number 2 will knock you down.

Not really. Just Buzzfeed-ing my way through.

The dread that follows a long distance relationship is as certain as the stench that follows a smelly fart. And one is forced to think, “how different is a long distance relationship from a fart anyway? They stink and make the ‘significant’ other go away eventually!”

By and large, we live in a world that’s shrinking. The prospect of pursuing anything “abroad” doesn’t come by as news to many. The surprise value is lost. Hence, distances are just as real as WhatsApp stories. It’s shit but it’s there.

What a long distance relationship does is it gives you more than what it takes. Here’s where you stop wailing and get real for a bit:

The ability to calm the fuck down

To make it work, you need to prepare a plan. You start synchronizing dates as per timelines and come what may — plague, tornado or even the Nazis — you want to be there in the said niche where your laptop is, just so that you can see a fat-necked view of your separated half. But what if the internet connection decided to suck nut-sacks on that one day? What if your laptop decides to give in to the sweet, sweet embrace of conking out?
You sit there, saying to yourself: It’s over. It’s done. She doesn’t love me enough.
Times like these, you need to calm them ruddy tits and think. Mind you, there are severe implications of overthinking so make sure you avoid it as often as you must. What I mean when I say think is to think of the plausible circumstances that may have obstructed you guys from the decided virtual rendezvous.

The skill to keep it breezy

When the connection comes on, do not go all balls-out yelling about how weird Veronica looked in that hideous green dress. Not quite the thing that needs to travel overseas. Rather share experiences that matter and more importantly LISTEN.
It is also noticed usually, couples have a fixed time to talk. It does work in some cases. Mostly, it doesn’t. Try this instead: call when you want to and not when you have to. This way you’ll spend more time talking than looking out for things to talk about. And DO NOT go ape shit when the other misses your call. It could be a meeting s/he’s stuck in, could be outdoors chugging beer with friends or simply running temples and crushing candies. Let it happen. At the core of things, you are two individuals. When you start encroaching on that, things go awry.

The Scope of Good hope

A relationship — long distance or not — is nothing if it has nothing to look forward to. If your visualization stops at/right after a session beneath sheets, then you should reconsider the whole shebang. A breakup is the consequence of no evolution. When you have things to look forward to, you make it work. A trip together, a day-out, grape stomping, trek, anything. It could also be any non-cliched activity like gatecrashing a wedding, Bonnie and clyde-ing figs from Aunt Muriel’s backyard, etc.
The key here is longevity of interest. As long as you have something to await, you would seldom be bored. In the end, we are but hot blooded young adults and sex isn’t enough to vent it out always.

A wise read once suggested, “distance makes the heart grows fonder.”
But in a world so closely connected, how distant are we really?

booksI’ve written previously about the emerging (or maybe erupting would be a better word) field of self publishing (Opportunity, or Another Sign of the Apocolypse? March 30, 2009), which is evolving at a mind-boggling pace. Much of the change can be attributed to new technology on both ends of the publishing spectrum. On the output end, e-book reading devices such as the Amazon Kindle and mobile devices like the iPhone and Blackberry are making it easier to access content in an electronic form. A corresponding change is happening on the input end where the new sub-industry of self publishing has spun off from the mother ship of traditional publishing. This transition is being made possible by the availability of on-demand printing which makes it feasible to produce as few as a single copy of a printed book—an unthinkably expensive notion just a short time ago.

While one might think this would mean a swift end to the traditional publishing industry (and, indeed, it still might), an entrepreneurial author with a few hundred newly printed books sitting in her garage is still faced with sizable tasks of promotion, sales, and distribution before those books are in the hands of her readers.

Fast Pencil, a new entrant in the $2 billion+ self publishing industry offers a solution for self publishers that proposes to bundle the services of publishing (printed or electronic), promotion, sales, and distribution into a one-stop user experience. With sales and distribution channels through Amazon and Barnes & Noble, Fast Pencil can offer visibility and presence that would be out of reach for most first-time authors.

I see entrepreneurial opportunity all over this story. Obviously, Fast Pencil and other self publishing outfits, like Lulu and MagCloud, make it easier than ever for first-time authors to navigate this process. But I also see opportunity—especially for designers—to fill the need that will undoubtedly arise as design services get cut out of the publishing process. As always, change=opportunity.

Fast Pencil CEO, Steve Wilson, is interviewed in this segment from the Small Business section of The Wall Street Journal website (which, incidentally, is a surprisingly engaging and content-rich resource, check it out).

Ace Frehley Parts Ways With Solo Band, Recruits Members Of Gene Simmons’ Backing Group

Ace Frehley (ex-KISS) has apparently parted ways with his solo band, which most recently featured Richie Scarlet, Chris Wyse, and Scot Coogan. He will now be moving forward with members of Gene Simmons’ backing band, which recently featured Philip Shouse, Ryan Cook, Jeremy Asbrock, and Christopher Williams. Frehley told “The Cassius Morris Show” the following:

“I’m changing the lineup in my band. I’m actually gonna start working with the band that backed up Gene [on his recent solo tours]. I worked with them in Australia, and they also did eight shows with me in Japan. And I realized that… I think they were better than my current lineup, so I’ve decided to make a change. They’re younger and more hungry.”

Kenna Residence

Mary Kenna first called Julie Ann looking for a mirror to accentuate her bedroom. As they got to talking, Mary expressed her desire to transform her den into a cozy space to “kick back and relax!” In Mary’s own words, “I had so much fun working with Julie Ann, I just wanted to keep on going. Before I knew it, I was having her re-do the whole den!”

Anyone can go buy a sofa or a chair for their home, but it takes a special eye to see the full potential of any given space. Working with an interior designer like Julie Ann, can turn the ordinary into extraordinary. Julie Ann’s intuitive creativity and foresight can transform any space into a showcase, or in Mary’s case, an intimate, cozy den. Her expertise and resources enable her to utilize an array of materials and fabrics, bringing warmth and charm to any room in the home.

Take for instance, something as basic as a window treatment. The use of shapes and materials for a custom-made valance set the tone for Mary’s den. Imagine rich, beautiful fabric dangling with whimsical gems. Now THAT’S a window treatment! In the same room, faux finish walls exude warmth and movement. Finally, adding accessories of beauty and personal meaning nearly completed the room. One last touch: an energetic Feng Shui statement to call in romance into the life of her client, Mary. Julie Ann accomplishes this by placing pairs of objects such as pairs of birds. “It’s important that my clients can look at the final outcome and say, ‘this is really me!’ ” stated Julie Ann.

More info

The Hundred Islands National Park is situated in Alaminos City, Pangasinan. Also known as “Kapulo-puloan” or “Taytay-Bakes,” these little Islands are one of the most magnificent natural geological formations in the Philippines

The islands are dispersed along the Lingayen Gulf and have a total land area of 1,844 hectares or 18.44 square kilometers. There are 124 islands here but one gets submerged in water during high tide.

The islands are shaped like giant umbrellas or mushrooms. The islands are about two million years of age; it was theorized that they are part of the seabed a long long time ago. Among the islands, only three have been developed for travelers and vacationists, namely: Governor Island, Quezon Island, and Children's Island. Not all the islands have names. These islands are made of limestone roofed with think shrubbery and other flora.

The whole place is really like a paradise because of its clear water and sparkling blue sky which are very refreshing to the eyes. Watching the sun strike the islands and their surrounding waters is one of the wonderful views you can witness here. This island is most visited during summer period by lots of tourists both local and foreign.

Mystery School in Hyperspace - A Cultural History of Dmt

Mystery School in Hyperspace - A Cultural History of Dmt

Author: Graham St.John
$29.95(AUD)  inc GST
Available Stock: 1

Since the mid-1950s, the psychoactive compound DMT has attracted the attention of experimentalists andprohibitionists, scientists and artists, alchemists and hyperspace emissaries. While most known as a crucial component of the jungle alchemy that is ayahuasca, DMT is a unique story unto itself. Until now, this story has remained untold. "Mystery School in Hyperspace" is the first book to delve into the history of this substance, the discovery of its properties, and the impact it has had on poets, artists, and musicians. DMT has appeared at crucial junctures in countercultural history. William Burroughs was jacking the spice in Tangier at the turn of the 1960s. It was present at the meeting between Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters and Tim Leary's associates. It guided the inception of the Grateful Dead in 1965. It showed up in Berkeley in the same year, falling into the hands of Terence McKenna, who would eventually become its champion in the post-rave neo-psychedelic movement of the 1990s. Its indole vapor drifted through Portugal's Boom Festival and has been evident at Nevada's Burning Man, where DMT has been adopted as spiritual technology supplying shape, color, and depth to a visionary art movement. The growing prevalence of use is evident in a vast networked independent research culture, and in its impact on fiction, film, music and metaphysics. As this book traces the effect of DMT's release into the cultural bloodstream, the results should be of great interest to contemporary readers. The book permits a broad reading audience to join ongoing debates in studies in consciousness and theology where the brain is held to be either a generator or a receiver of consciousness. The implications of the "spirit molecule" or "the brain's own psychedelic" among other theories illustrate that DMT may lift the lid on the Pandora's Box of consciousness. Features a foreword by Dennis McKenna, cover art by Beau Deeley, and thirty color illustrations by various artists, including Alex Grey, Android Jones, Martina Hoffmann, Luke Brown, Carey Thompson, Adam Scott Miller, Randal Roberts, along with Jay Bryan, Cyb, Orryelle Defenestrate-Bascule, Art Van D'lay, Stuart Griggs, Jay Lincoln, Gwyllm Llwydd, Shiptu Shaboo, Marianna Stelmach, and Mister Strange. Regarded as the nightmare hallucinogen or celebrated as the spirit molecule, labelled psychotogenic or entheogenic, considered a dangerous drug or the suspected X-factor in the evolution of consciousness, DMT is a powerful enigma. Documenting the scientists and artists drawn into its sphere of influence, navigating the liminal aesthetics of the breakthrough experience, tracing the novum of hyperspace in esoteric and science fiction currents, "Mystery School in Hyperspace "excavates the significance of this enigmatic phenomenon in the modern world. Exposing a great many myths, this cultural history reveals how DMT has had a beneficial influence on the lives of those belonging to a vast underground network whose reports and initiatives expose drug war propaganda and shine a light in the shadows. This conversation is highly relevant at a time when significant advances are being made to lift the moratorium on human research with psychedelics."

"Meticulously researched and highly readable. St John covers every imaginable aspect of DMT s place in the Western aesthetic and intellectual landscapes. Setting down his book, I came away with a new appreciation of just how embedded the DMT meme has become." Rick Strassman MD, author of "DMT: The Spirit Molecule, DMT and the Soul of Prophecy, " and clinical associate professor of psychiatry, University of New Mexico School of Medicine "Graham St John s book on DMT untangles the threadsof this holy molecule, from anthropological antiquity to labs in Hungary, from hipster soothsayers to visionary art at festivals, including some of the best descriptions of the wonderfullyweird tryptamine worlds inside all of us. Read"Mystery School in Hyperspace"and appreciate the miracle in our midst." Alex Grey, artist, and author"Net of Being Combining the breadth of a scholar, the savvy of an underground journalist, and the open spirit of a radical empiricist, Graham St John has written the definitive cultural history of the weirdest molecule on the planet (and in your body)."Mystery School in Hyperspace"tells amazing tales, sheds light on the shadows, and brilliantly referees the ongoing psychoactive rumble between the sacred and profane. Erik Davis, author of"Techgnosis: Myth, Magic, and Mysticism in the Age of Information"" "Scholars and psychonauts alike will find much to appreciate in this lucid, thoughtful, provocative, and thoroughly enjoyable cultural history of DMT. Meticulously researched and beautifully written, "Mystery School in Hyperspace"is remarkable in its deft interweaving of neurochemistry, countercultural thought, spirituality, and the arts. In years to come, anyone with a serious interest in the socio-cultural significance of induced altered states will have read this book." Christopher Partridge, Professor of Religious Studies, Lancaster University, UK. " Mystery School in Hyperspace"is the textbook history of DMT for serious students of transdimensional evolution. Graham St John's tour de force through the tapestry of alchemists, hippies, DJs, scientists, shamans, mystics, and seekers of the mystery that DMT reveals is an exhilarating ride and a thoroughly researched achievement. St John successfully builds up a historical profile of both dimethyltryptamine and the quest to understand it, piercing the mystery to bring back translinguistic trip reports that illuminate the central gnosis of our time. As the latest generation of psychonauts explores the invisible landscape of Terra Incognita, "Mystery School in Hyperspace"could very well be the map that we have all been looking for." Rak Razam, director of"Aya: Awakenings" " "Boldly going where no one had gone before, Graham St John takes his readers on a properly hallucinatory yet extremely well documented tour through the history of DMT. Analyzing six decades of radical countercultural experimentation and exploration at the limits of human consciousness and beyond, this is a significant contribution to the emerging study of entheogenic religion" Wouter J. Hanegraaff, University of Amsterdam "Wrap your mind around the most ubiquitous and profound psychedelic on the planet, DMT! A multidimensional journey that provides a smorgasbord of information, and will give seasoned psychonauts, dogmatic academics, culture aficionados, and frankly any curious mind, plenty to chew on." Mitch Schultz, founder of MYTHAPHI and director of "DMT: The Spirit Molecule""

Photo Internship

NPR seeks photography editing intern…

What makes a great photo editing intern? (Apply now for Spring 2019!)

Photo by Rachael Ketterer

This is not your standard photo internship!

This internship is an opportunity to learn more about the world of photo editing. Our goal isn’t to make you into a photo editor; we view this internship as a chance for you to understand what it is like to be an editor and improve your visual literacy, which can help you become a better photographer.

The paid internship runs from Jan. 7, 2019, to April 19, 2019. Applications are due Monday, Oct. 29 at 12 a.m. ET.

What you will be doing

  • Editing: You’ll be working closely with the Visuals Team’s photo editors (Nicole and Emily) on fast-paced deadlines – we’re talking anywhere from 15 minutes to publication, to short-term projects that are a week out. You’ll dig into news coverage and photo research, learning how to communicate about what makes a good image across a range of news topics, including international, national, technology, arts and more.
  • Photography: Depending on the news cycle, there may be opportunities to photograph DC-area assignments. This can mean you’d have one or two shoots in a week, or maybe just a couple shoots in a month. You’ll work closely with a radio or web reporter while out in the field, and a photo editor will go through your work and provide feedback for each assignment. There will also be a chance to work on portraiture and still lifes in our studio.
  • We also encourage each intern to create a self-directed project to work on throughout the semester. It can be an Instagram seriesvideophoto essaytext story or anything in-between. You can work independently or with another intern or reporter.

You will be part of NPR’s intern program, which includes 40-50 interns each semester, across different departments. There will be coordinated training and intern-focused programming throughout the semester, which includes meeting NPR radio hosts, career development and other opportunities. As an intern, you will be treated as a member of the team. Many NPR employees are former interns and they’re always willing to help current interns.

Any student (undergraduate or graduate), or person who has graduated no more than 12 months prior to the start of the internship period to which he/she is applying is eligible. Interns must be authorized to work in the United States.

Who should apply

We’re looking for candidates that have a strong photojournalism background. An interest in editing, or experience with video/photo editing is a nice plus. It’s also helpful if you’ve completed at least one photojournalism-focused internship prior to applying (let us know if you have!), though it’s not necessary. A portfolio, however, is required.

We also want folks who can tell us what they would like to accomplish during their time at NPR. What do you want to learn? What do you want to try? We try to shape each internship around our intern, so we rely on you to tell us what goals you have for your time with us!

So how do I apply?

Does this sound like you? Read about our expectations and selection process and then apply now!

Visual Art Exhibition featuring 15 Emerging Artists with Disabilities to Tour Nationally,
September 2017-November 2019

VSA, the Kennedy Center’s international organization on arts and disability, will present artwork by 15 emerging young artists with disabilities, ages 18 to 25, in a traveling exhibition. Titled Detour, this year-long national tour kicks off in Washington, D.C. at the Rayburn House Office Building on September 5, 2018, and is presented through generous support from Volkswagen Group of America.

The 2018 VSA Emerging Young Artists Competition, a Jean Kennedy Smith Arts and Disability Program of the Kennedy Center, drew submissions from talented young artists with disabilities from around the U.S. This year’s theme, around which the artists were challenged to create work, was to embrace life’s detours, to seize and explore the spontaneous forays off the beaten path, to consider what’s possible, and to celebrate the marvelous and unexpected. The winners, selected from a pool of hundreds of applicants, were chosen based on the quality of their work, artistic proficiency, and enlightening or compelling interpretations of the theme.

“These young artists have embraced life’s detours. Their work makes visible what is often overlooked and challenges us to see the world from a different point of view, and through their personal lens,” said Betty Siegel, Director of VSA and Accessibility of the Kennedy Center. “We look forward to seeing the impact these 15 young artists and their work will have on invoking unity and inclusivity across the nation. We thank Volkswagen Group of America for their continued support in making this possible.”

2018 marks the 17th year of the program in which VSA’s Emerging Artists Competition challenges young artists with disabilities to demonstrate their talents and skills across visual arts genres. The winners receive a total of $60,000 in cash awards as well as national recognition via the exhibition, which will travel to museums and galleries as part of a one year national tour. As part of their award package, the winners also receive all-expense paid travel to Washington, D.C. for three days of educational events and seminars September 5-7, 2018, including a reception at the Rayburn House Office Building on September 5, 2018.

The following artists will receive an Award of Excellence in the amount of $2,000:

  • Coco Allred, Seattle, Washington, age 19
  • Xichao (Carol) Cao, Great Neck, New York, age 24
  • Chance DeVille, Lake Charles, Louisiana, age 23
  • Joshua Dixon, Chicago, Illinois, age 19
  • Thomas Haley, Davis, California, age 23
  • Kip Henderson, La Mirada, California, age 21
  • Kat Katz, New York, New York, age 23
  • Sarah McDaniel, Newport News, Virginia, age 25
  • Kyah Probst, St. Louis, Missouri, age 18
  • Leonafire (Alejandra Suarez), Miami, Florida, age 23

Angels and Demons. Are They Real? You Better Believe It!

Psalm 91:11
For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;

Just because you cannot see angels or demons in the physical world does not mean there not there or not real. You can’t see natural gas, but if you lite a match when it’s present and see what happens, ca-boooom. The invisible world or spirit world is more real than you think and everyone will see it one day some sooner than others. So with that said, You need to prepare yourself and your family with knowledge and understanding of the real and only truth ( the living words of God). You Can’t assume that you know and understand the truth, You Got to know it! and understand it!, So you will prevail in every situation you may come across in your life journey here on earth , until you enter the kingdom of Heaven.

The best thing you can do to conquer this is found in Ephesians 6:10-18 10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand
against the devil’s schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and
blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of
this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly
realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of
evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done
everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around
your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your
feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In
addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can
extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of
salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray
in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With
this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

Now who side are you on? Pick one and don’t waiver.

As For Me I Choose The Lord Who Already Conquer Death Hell And The Grave And Broke The Curse Of  Satan At The Cross Of Calvary. The Victory Is Ours In Christ Jesus! Give Him Praise and Ask Him To Come Into Your Heart As Your Lord And Savior And Wipe Away All Your Sins White As Snow. Amen!

Thanks for dropping by. There are some things below where I'll try to sell you tees or music to fund whatever project I'm currently working on. There's an about link somewhere around here if you're just curious who the heck I am. Honestly, I don't know why you dropped by, but feel free to poke around all you like. Currently I've got a lot of plates spinning. My team is working hard to make a thing, we're exploring making Solidarity Church a thing and we're supporting a bunch of independent media and direct action projects. This site is getting fairly outdated as we move forward, and I apologize for that. I appreciate your visit though. I'm currently blogging at and hope you'll visit and subscribe. Cheers.

Brick toys are a dime a dozen but you’ll never find one quite like this one. Looking like an ordinary 2x4 from afar, you’ll notice a bunch of limbs sticking out when you get up close and personal. Meet "I Will Never Le(t)go" by I Love Doodle, two bricks joined at the “hip” and inseparable for life.
