Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the MYST family of histone acetyl transferases (HATs) and was originally isolated as an HIV-1 TAT-interactive protein. HATs play important roles in regulating chromatin remodeling, transcription and other nuclear processes by acetylating histone and nonhistone proteins. This protein is a histone acetylase that has a role in DNA repair and apoptosis and is thought to play an important role in signal transduction. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
shRNA Design:
These shRNA constructs were designed against multiple splice variants at this gene locus. To be certain that your variant of interest is targeted, align it with our published shRNA design sequences. If these do not align, please utilize our custom shRNA service.
Performance Guranteed:
OriGene guarantees that the sequences in the shRNA expression cassettes are verified to correspond to the target gene with 100% identity. One of the four constructs at minimum are guaranteed to produce 70% or more gene expression knock-down provided a minimum transfection efficiency of 80% is achieved. Western Blot data is recommended over qPCR to evaluate the silencing effect of the shRNA constructs 72 hrs post transfection. To properly assess knockdown, the gene expression level from the included scramble control vector must be used in comparison with the target-specific shRNA transfected samples.

For non-conforming shRNA, requests for replacement product must be made within ninety (90) days from the date of delivery of the shRNA kit. To arrange for a free replacement with newly designed constructs, please contact Technical Services at techsupport@origene.com. Please provide your data indicating the transfection efficiency and measurement of gene expression knockdown compared to the scrambled shRNA control (Western Blot data preferred).

* Delivery time is an estimate in business days. Occasional delays may occur due to unforeseen complexities in the preparation of your construct. International customers may expect an additional 1-2 weeks in shipping

Purpose of the ParaPro Assessment Test
The ParaPro Assessment was developed in response to federal legislation known as No Child Left Behind.  The law requires that paraprofessionals be required to have one of the following:

  1. Hold an associate of arts degree or higher, or
  2. Complete two years of college (60 credit hours), or
  3. Demonstrate, through a state or local academic assessment, that they are knowledgeable in reading, writing, and math and capable of assisting in classroom instruction.

Click here to view the ParaPro Testing Brochure.

About the Parapro Assessment Test
The ParaPro Assessment for prospective and practicing paraprofessionals measures skills and knowledge in reading, mathematics, and writing, as well as the ability to apply those skills and knowledge to assist in classroom instruction.  The test consists of 90 multiple-choice questions across the subject areas of reading, mathematics, and writing. Approximately two-thirds of the questions in each subject area focus on basic skills and knowledge, and approximately one third of the questions in each subject area focus on the application of those skills and knowledge in a classroom context.  Test takers have 2 ½ hours to complete the exam.   All test questions are in English and are given in a computerized web-based format.

Mac OS X It's sad to see that even after all these years, we still have to write articles like this one. It's all over the web right now: a new backdoor Mac OS X trojan discovered! Code execution! Indicative of rise in Mac malware! Until, of course, you actually take a look at what's going on, and see that not only is it not in the wild, it can't really do anything because it's a beta.

"How about not giving average applications access to so much user data (which they really don't need) as a default setting, but giving the user the option to choose to do so for software which requires it, with an UAC/gksudo-like window ?"

This is exactly what we *needed* for security, but the walled garden is what mobile users are *getting* instead.

The local application sandbox is not only valid in theory, but we already have several viable implementations. The benefits to end users is exactly the reason they're losing traction in the mobile sector - they permit the secure execution of arbitrary applications without relegating control to a single vendor.

Most apps we might want to run from the internet don't need (and should not have access to) other apps or local files. The sandbox model addresses all technical security concerns, yet mobile manufacturers are opting for a walled garden instead in the interests of market control.

Debian and its clones Writing about Debian is not a simple thing. You know it's the giant that has spawned pretty much every other distro out there. It's almost like a Roman Empire, almost a taboo. Furthermore, it's not a desktop distro per se. It's more sort of a template you use to build your platform. It's also a SOHO server distro, therefore it more fits into the business category, comparable to CentOS and similar.

He chose to do it all the hard way.. I'm surprised he didn't base the review on the text installer interface instead of hte GUI overlay.

I don't even install Windows with the expectation of wireless right off the bat. The wifi manufacturers have insured that it's a mess to deal with. His wired nic should have been detected without a hickup. dhcp would then have had his network config'd without a second hickup. He may have also considered using the isntaller image that actually included the non-free firmware; if there was a firmware for his wifi NIC, it should have been there.

(I do think that Debian should include more driver and firmware support by default but it's never been hard to deal with when drivers/firmware are not included initially by default.)

He's had other reviews recently which where equally as bent on finding fault rather than providing constructive critisism though which casts this one in a poor light from the onset for me.

Otaku USA Magazine
Comics, Cosplay and Long Lines at Comic Market 91 [Photo Report]

That’s a wrap for day one of Comic Market 91.

The long-running celebration of fan-made manga, games, animation and more that goes by Comiket for short is on in Tokyo, and we made our way there today to peruse, schmooze and, most importantly, snap some photos. Here’s a look at the comics, cosplay and masses of otaku humanity on display at this year’s Comiket.

Some fun Comiket facts:

  • Comiket 1 was held in 1975, with a total of 32 doujinshi groups (“circles”) and 700 attendees. The convention now regularly attracts over 500,000 participants.
  • There’s an entire self-publishing industry based around Comiket, with small printing companies depending largely on the event to stay in business.
  • Comiket is held twice a year, meaning the 100th Comiket will take place in the summer of 2021. Get pumped.

For more information, visit the convention’s official site and hashtag, and watch this space for more Comic Market-related action.

Meet the artist by the name of Kianoosh Motallebi

Meet the artist by the name of Kianoosh Motallebi
Jul 14, 2011 |  by  |  Art
About the author
Independent Creative | Writer at | Entrepreneur | Painter | Founder at Artists Not Armies | For feedback, tips, suggestions mail me at

A little while ago a certain mr. Kianoosh Motallebi showed me around the Rijksakademie and told me all about his projects and his art. I can’t remember the last time I was this fascinated by the explanation of a creative process, as I heard Kianoosh talking about what it is that he does. That’s why I decided to contact him to profile him for Overdose.

Knowledge and imagination

Kianoosh is in search for bigger truths. Although he did try and study Medicine and Physics, he became frustrated by the narrowness of the knowledge he gained – as he was longing to see and discover the bigger picture. Soon he realised that in truth there is always a kind of paradox, metaphysically spoken but also in our daily lives. Gaining knowledge makes you realise there is still a lot more to know but at the same time you are getting closer to the truth. “And what would happen if we would discover the final truth as Odysseus did when encountering the Sirenes?”

Holland is going back to the medieval ages with these cuts on spending on culture

It’s amazing to see how this thinking translated into objects that exemplify this search for truth, paradox and meaning. He for example found the chemical elements that were, to his knowledge, never combined into one object. He also sculpted a terrestrial ball that contains all 94 elements in nature. For Kianoosh, it’s all about creating objects that spark the imagination, without explaining what you should think. Take for example his project in trying to combine the TL-light with an old-fashioned flashbulb. In terms of science, those two ways of making light are very different, but he found a way.

Of course he is truly saddened by the Dutch Government’s plans to cut spending on culture and arts and feels that it will take many years for Holland to regain its cultural climate as it is today. “Art is a way to lure people to step out of their known world and it seems that nowadays there is a fear of everything that is different.”

In November of this year you get a chance to visit his atelier at the Rijksakademie, so keep in touch for updates.

Sharing is caring!

Evaluating Confidence in Our Memories

Evaluating Confidence in Our Memories

Results and Implications from Neuroimaging and Eye Movement Monitoring Studies of Metamemory

(p.118) 5 Evaluating Confidence in Our Memories
Memory and Law

Elizabeth F. Chua

Oxford University Press

Recognition confidence is a common metric used to assess the accuracy of eyewitness identifications. Consequently, it is critical that we understand what information individuals use to make confidence judgments about their memory. Drawing on research in the field of metamemory (i.e., knowledge of one’s own memory), this chapter examines findings from the behavioral, eye tracking, and neuroimaging literature to determine what factors influence subjective memory confidence, and their relationship to objective accuracy. Critically, confidence judgments may be based on factors other than direct retrieval of the original event, such as familiarity or fluency of the cue that serves to elicit the sought after memory. The chapter also evaluates the potential for techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and eye tracking in distinguishing highly confident accurate and highly confident inaccurate memory.

Keywords:   recognition, confidence, metamemory, fMRI, eye tracking

‘Nick Nack’ sails around Britain

Nick and Gail Leaver cast off on 11 May 2017 to sail their Dufour 325 ‘Nick Nack’ around Britain in leisurely style. They will be cruising up the east coast and then down the Caledonian Canal before meandering back to Port Solent later in the year.

Postcard from Gail on Friday 1 September

The best laid plans of mice and men – as a local might have put it – rendered our intentions of going to Skye, Staffa and Colonsay as impossible due to gale force winds, driving rain and poor visibility most days with weather forecasts changing from one extreme to the other at less than 24 hours notice.

We retraced some of our steps southwards from Tobermory down the sound of Mull to Oban Marina which is actually on the Isle of Kerrera  (with a courtesy ferry to Oban pier). On leaving Tobermory we had one dolphin for company in the rain.  Oban had a supermarket to top up stores and a small local museum and a few shops. I thought there would be more to see/do but it was full of walkers and walking shops.

The Isle of Kerrera is very quiet, about 45 people live there. It had a walk around the island and one across, and we did a bit of both, Nick telling me it was a short cut to the marina. We walked – well, bog trotted – around, through and in a bog (about an hour) and then had to wash our trousers, shoes and socks. The upside of this was due to the wet weather we did not get bitten by any midges as apparently it was too wet even for them!

On to Ardfern, a lovely spot at the top of a Loch. To get there we sailed down the Sound of Luing, generally at well over 12 knots over the ground with an extremely big spring tide under us, generally in a SW direction but occasionally in ever decreasing circles when the helms-person didn’t  spot the vicious whirlpools in time! Two particular interesting moments: first was me telling Nick that on the charts we were sailing over a submarine exercise only to see “black things” in the water! On a second glance it was not a sub but a pod of dolphins (thank goodness). The second was a beautiful blue Rustler 44 yacht flying a white ensign came in! Nick was going to take a line for them – but no need, as from nowhere a waiting team arrived. Later, on the way to shower block, I met the lady owner and her husband and said hello – as you do! (For the avoidance of doubt it was me on the way to the shower block not HRH.)  They left after breakfast, we assumed to go to meet the family at Balmoral?

Plan A was to go west through the Corryveckan (aka the Witches Cauldron) when a mile away at the sight of a standing wave nearly 3m high and white water beyond (it was still a spring tide) we took the sensible route – reverted to Plan B! Beating to windward down The Sound of Jura was almost as exciting, but safer as far as Craighouse, the principal settlement on the Isle of Jura. We picked up a bouy in the bay looking over to the distillery. That was the easy part! The tidal waves in the bay rocked the boat from side to side as our head pitched and pointed to windward. I just took to my bed with a pill until the wind and waves dropped enough to cook dinner. No telephone, wifi or radio signal available till next day’s potter over in the tender to the Jura Hotel … coffee, shower, lobster lunch washed down with a wee dram from the next door’s distillery. If only it would stop raining for a while!

At anchor off Jura

Just one of the many distillery visits!

After a couple of days in Jura we sailed and then motored to Port Ellen on Islay. I don’t remember much of the next day as we visited 3 more distilleries in quick succession on a 6 mile walk. It only rained in the evening that day which made a lovely change.

Port Ellen

We left Port Ellen in the usual F6 squalls, driving rain and near zero visibility, encountering the Calmac car ferry which appeared suddenly in front of us out of the gloom in the narrow approach channel. We had an otherwise fast, uneventful crossing to Ballycastle, arriving in time for the “lively” Auld Lammas Fair. Security was high – and that was before we reached the market stalls selling body armour and toy Armalites! The locals were very friendly and Nick assured me that the Guinness was the best he has had for some time. We had a day out with a rambler bus ticket visiting the Giant’s Causeway and the Rope Bridge with a walk along Whitepark beach as the Atlantic rollers crashed around us.

Ballycastle Marina in the middle of the Auld Lammas Fair

The Giant’s Causeway

We left Ballycastle in sunshine, yes I did say sunshine and what’s more it stayed dry all the way around the Mull of Kintyre to Campbeltown. Our first voyage without full follies since June! It was so good to have visibility and be able to see the numerous islands, most covered in purple heather and green grass which made them look like they were covered in velvet.

Tomorrow we head up Loch fine to Tarbert or Portvadie – will it be dry and bright, we will have to wait and see?

Postcard from Gail on Saturday 9 September

Campbeltown was interesting – it was the first time we had to raft up alongside another boat. The harbour master was surprised that so many boats had arrived that day but given the wind strength we were not! Next day, on visiting the RNLI shop as we always seem to do, we were talking to the chap – who said “have you been on one of our lifeboats?” No we hadn’t, so he gave us a personal tour of the Tyne class lifeboat – it transpired that he was the head mechanic, having had a background in engineering.

We actually had a good a good sail to Campbeltown with dolphins around the boat. We didn’t see them until they came up close and started to breathe noisily and, hearing them, you could look in the right direction to find them. This was also our first day of sunshine since we returned to Scotland on 7 August. Our next trip was to Tarbert, our second day in sunshine. Friends had recently visited there and recommended the scallops sold live from holding tanks, but we arrived late on Saturday and the shop was closed until Monday by which time we had already left so we didn’t get to taste them.

Next we  sailed on to Rothesay on the Isle of Bute. Nick had last been there in 1967 on the Dartmouth Training Squadron frigate HMS Torquay. We took a bus trip around the island which was made all the more interesting by the local bus driver’s commentary. The harbour showers and toilets were fascinating, being built about 140 years ago with polished copper pipe work and amazing appliances – nuff said!  We wanted to go on to Arran but the thought of another stormy night on a buoy didn’t appeal so we moved marinas to Ardrossan for a night.

A typical view of the Isle of Bute

Marina facilities in Rothesay!

Our last stop was Troon: the tail end of another storm meant a very early start to do the last 9 miles which seemed like a lifetime, with the wind F7-8, enormous waves breaking on the deck and, of course, heavy rain. The nice bit was entering the harbour to a welcoming committee of dozens of eider ducks sheltering from the storm. We are now packing the boat up for over-wintering here.

Over the 37 days we have been in Scotland we have enjoyed only 3 without rain! (The last fine day was timely for packing up sails etc.) The rest of the time we have found ourselves either sheltering or sailing in F5-F7 winds (regardless of forecast), driving rain and near zero visibility to and from unfamiliar ports among “iron-bound” coasts.

Cabin fever while daily drying out kit!

Although there were moments, when the rain stopped and the clouds broke, when we could view the amazing scenery (with and without rainbows), the last month has been a struggle to keep warm and dry, especially to deal with wet sailing gear every time we stopped. Consequently, we have reluctantly accepted – with no change in the 10 day forecast – to curtail this part of our trip and return home.

Looking forward to catching up with family and friends very soon. We will return here to Troon in early May 2018 for the next part of our adventure…..

Postcard from Gail on Monday 21 August

Well here we are back in Inverness, Scotland, having flown from Gatwick on the 7 August. It was good to be back on Nicknack: all was fine all be it a little dusty!

We left Inverness marina and headed for Clachnaharry sea lock to start the journey along the Caledonian Canal. We stayed the overnight in Seaport Marina (near the sea lock) to restock the store cupboard at the nearby Co-op. Next day more locks and swing bridges then before we managed a short sail on Loch Ness in a fickle wind from every direction. No sign of any monster unfortunately although the depth sounder showed very shallow water from time to time in the middle of the Loch: could this have been Nessie swimming directly under our keel?

Moored at Fort Augustus

Fort Augustus was a welcome overnight stop and pick up email with wifi in the pub! Next day was our second “flight” of locks with our routine well established and help from lock keepers calling ahead to the next lock or swing bridge to let them know we are on are way. We were expecting high winds later but they came much earlier than forecast while we were still on Loch Oich (the highest point on the Canal) so we made for on a pontoon at Laggan. This turned out to be a bad move, it was an exciting berthing with F8 winds beam on in a short steep chop and driving rain. I leaped off the boat to tie up on a finger pontoon and was so pleased to see 2 men from the local boat hire company standing by to help any returning cruiser. I hoped they would take a line but no, they didn’t, afterwards saying that “you looked like you knew what you were doing so we left you to to it”? That night was just  like sleeping in a washing machine with not much sleep, and it was darkest place on earth, no lights no moon, no stars, nothing.

We had to move early the next day as the marina was expecting many more cruisers returning at the end of the hire period. On to Loch Lochy, the waves (yes huge waves on a loch,) and with the wind F8 from dead ahead again and seriously heavy rain, it took us three and half hours do 8 miles. By the time we reached Neptune’s Staircase we noticed a little warning light on the engine panel showing low oil pressure despite changing oil and filter at Inverness.

Neptune’s Staircase

On arrival at top of the Staircase (a flight of 9 locks and 2 swing bridges) this did not look good. We called a marine engineer at the sea Loch at Corpach Basin; he checked everything over and said it was ok to continue – probably an electrical fault we could defer repair until haul out.

While waiting at Corpach we noticed the West Highland Line next to our berth was running the “Hogwarts Express” train several times a day. Each time the rain stopped and the clouds cleared for a few minutes we also had magnificent views of Ben Nevis.

Moored at Corpach with Clyde Puffer

We have been so impressed with the friendly and helpful lock keepers, the magnificent engineering and working of the locks, albeit the Canal was relatively uncrowned (August is apparently a low season). Thomas Telford certainly knew what he was doing when he designed it with 29 locks and 10 swing bridges in 60 miles. The scenery has been wonderful the different greens of the trees the pink of the rosebay willow herb along the Canal, the magnificent mountains when the clouds lift; not much wildlife but lots of ducks!

On Monday we finally exited the Caledonian Canal and motored, then sailed in continuous rain down Loch Linnehe and up through the Sound of Mull to a very pleasant little harbour at Loch Aline where we spent the next two days stormbound again. It has now rained every day since our return to Scotland, 8 days now! The only upside of the continuous rain is that the “flying teeth” have been kept at bay.

Another wet and stormy day – so we sailed to Tobermory arriving early afternoon, then joy of joy the sun came out, do did all our wet clothes including jackets, trousers and boots we had them hanging from every available part of the boat. Tobermory is a real “chocolate box” picture  of a seaside village, lots of lovely cafes, restaurants, gift shops and the local people are so friendly. But guess what? By 9pm the rain was back and another mega storm overnight. We plan to stay here for a while few days before the big decision – do we continue north or give in to the weather and head around Mull and then south?

Postcard from Gail – Tuesday 18 July

We left the boat in Inverness marina for July, as we had a family wedding, grandchild’s birthday party plus a selection of visitors, some from Switzerland to come home for. We plan to fly back to Inverness on the 7 August and we have already booked the first inbound lock on the Caledonian Canal on the 8th. The idea – weather permitting – is to sail around the Western Isles, and we are just starting to do a little planning now – looking  at Oban, Skye, Mallaig, Mull, Jura etc  maybe the Crinan Canal and Islay.

It has been odd to be home in a house with a garden to look after but a joy to just put washing in a washing machine and not have to worry about the time it takes. We both miss the boat and are looking forward to part 2 of our Summer Odyssey.
We had a day sail to the Isle of Wight with Mike Andrews on his boat. Again, it was nice to go out from a mooring that we knew; all the ones we have entered and left since Eastbourne have been a new and sometimes exciting adventure.

Postcard from Gail on Tuesday 20 June

We entered Eyemouth with seals swimming around the boat, popping up in front of pretending to be fishing pots, puffins diving in close to us with their orange beaks: they are not very graceful when landing and taking off.

Eyemouth harbour is sheltered most of the time, but on the night  of the “big storm” I did not agree with this – Nick of course slept through the gusts of 25 – 28 knots with waves in the inner harbour slapping against the hull. In the morning the water around us had turned dark brown this coming down into the harbour from the River Eye. The town itself is a curious place with local pastimes advertised outside the town hall as smuggling and witch-burning.

This was taken in Eyemouth harbour, between the rain showers. Local pastimes advertised include smuggling and witch-burning!

We took the bus south 6 miles to Berwick – due to the rain and fog we could have been going anywhere? On arrival a window in the weather, so we walked around the old Elizabethan Walls to the Scottish Borderers Museum- very interesting, more so to Nick than me.

We left Eyemouth at 4.15am to sail north to Arbroath, light headwinds followed eventually by no wind then high winds and rain! We sailed past the Bell Rock lighthouse designed by Robert Stevenson and erected in just 4 years despite being only able to work in the summer months and between tides. We doubt if that programme could be bettered today. The entrance to Arbroath harbour is narrow but the whole area is scattered with fishing pots, some marked ok, most are just small balls/litre milk bottles making the entry very difficult in poor light. It was difficult to find room to take the sails down, making sure that the propellor was clear of cheap and nasty nylon floating lines. The harbourmaster was the first to point out that local crabbing hobbyists were out of control. However, we were welcomed by the smell of the Arbroath Smokies being smoked, but have failed to buy any as they were not ready by the time we left!

Arbroath was  wet and very cold, but a highlight was finding Wetherspoon’s, it was a welcome place to eat with families, had clean warm loos, and the only wifi in town. We listened for the shipping forecast at 0519 but the BBC arbitrarily cancelled it without warning in favour of Jim Naughtie continuing to prattle on about the minutiae of the election, a case of the metropolitan elite ignoring the safety of seafarers.

After Arbroath we pressed on to Peterhead arriving just after dark. The harbour control gave us permission to cross the harbour as quickly as possible (to avoid commercial traffic) to the marina then complained when we slowed down in the shallows to put out warps and fenders. The marina itself is thoughtfully positioned in a corner of the harbour next to a big ship fuel berth and a prison. We were storm bound there for a few days discovering why it is known as “The Blue Toon” – it’s because it’s bitterly cold, this is midsummer! Even the tanning parlours advertised themselves as the only means locally to “top up your vitamin D”! We also discovered there are no restaurants in Peterhead, the locals preferring take-outs at all times. To get out of the constant rain we visited Peterhead Prison, part of which is now a museum including scenes of the rooftop riots in the 1980s which required the SAS to stop.

Peterhead Prison

We finally left Peterhead, rounding Rattray Head and pushing on to Whitehills among the seals and puffins again. We even saw a pair of whales half a mile away, looking like two large smooth black rocks moving quickly on the surface with a visible bow wave. Whitehills is a charming little harbour, considerably warmer than Peterhead but just as wet! We had Ellen McCarthur’s yacht Moonspray next to us, crewed by young people recovering from cancer, sailing around Britain from Largs in a clockwise direction.

With a window in the weather we sailed 25 miles west to Lossiemouth where we spent a few days being buzzed by the Typhoons from the RAF station. On the way we saw a pod of dolphins as well as all the seals which by now we are getting to feel quite blasé about. To get out of the rain we took the bus to Elgin to stock up at Tesco, the only large store for miles.

We also visited the local community/fishing museum which had records of the old RN base, HMS Fulmar where Nick was pleased to see a mention of his cousin (who was based there) bombing the Torrey Canyon in 1967. Coincidentally, a resident of Elgin has an old Buccaneer (1960’s low level bomber) parked on his garage forecourt, now a local landmark.

We left Lossiemouth for our last sail – to Inverness – in a F5 headwind so it took most of the day to get there. We were disappointed not to see the well known pod of bottle nosed dolphins in the Chamonry Narrows, as were the hundreds of tourists in boats and on the beach also looking out for them. There were however dozens of seals basking on the sand as we went by.

Inverness to Keswick Bridge

The tides are a mystery in Scotland. We have a tidal atlas which shows which way the the stream is running at whatever time, relative to High Water Dover. However, it is consistently 1-2 hours adrift – and yes, we have made the appropriate adjustment for BST!

The weather all the time we have been in Scotland has not been good. Although we have had the odd sunny interval, it has rained every day and temperatures have varied between 11 and 16 degrees C. Ironically, we keep hearing on the weather forecasts that the South is having a heatwave and the Hive system in our house emails us each day to complain that the house is far too hot (with the heating turned off, of course). We have about a week here now before we fly home for July so plan to get out and about – just like being on holiday.

We have been amazed at the lack of darkness up here. It is still half light at nearly midnight and dawn is less than 4 hours later.

820 miles and still friends, still talking, still married!

Postcard from Gail on Sunday 4 June

We left Lowestoft Royal Norfolk and Suffolk Yacht Club with John on board for the long leg up to Grimsby at 6.15 am. The weather was cold and we had wind for the first couple of hours then had to motor but had the company of seals while watching out for wind farms. The wind came back and a lovely sail along the coast although we could not see much of it due to poor visibility. The pilotage up the River Humber into Grimsby in the dark after 18 hours sailing is difficult. The coast (some 6 miles ahead) is just a mass of lights with a lot of shipping including large tankers heading for the same channel as ourselves. Nick asked John and I to watch for the red lights of two buoys on the starboard side close together but we never saw them. However, the floating fuel line with its pretty orange lights we did see and kept well clear of!

We arrived at the large ship lock 15 minutes too soon for sufficient depth of water. Spotting the correct lock entrance (there were several) was not easy in the Stygian gloom so we pottered around in shallow water until the lock keeper called to say “you can come in now”. The lock is enormous, very deep and pitch black with solid stone slime covered walls but the lock keeper was very helpful in guiding us in and passing down lines. Grimsby itself is a rather sad place, the high street is full of closed down shops, betting shops and pawnbrokers (even UKIP’s office was closed!) However, the Fishing Heritage Centre was a great place to visit with the “Ross Tiger” trawler alongside with its last skipper still on board to give us a very personal tour of the vessel and tell us tales of the Cod Wars. The old fish docks which once were full of trawlers are all empty albeit part now forms a marina. The buildings around are empty and dilapidated too but still manage to have a smell of fish lingering about them – even now!

On to Whitby next, early start and 14 hours later arrived at the entrance to the harbour, alas about half an hour too late to enter on a rapidly falling spring tide. We had about 4 hours to kill, so ended up anchoring in Sands End Bay for a “wee dram” and a rest! The next morning – well 5am we motored into Whitby Harbour, which was such a great feeling for me on my birthday to come back to a place that held so many childhood memories.

Shan, John’s wife came to collect him with her personal “sat nav” Janet on Friday. They came with all sorts of goodies including a birthday cake with lots of candles on it!  We really enjoyed having John on board; he was a great help sailing the long legs and very good company, keeping Nick calm at the more stressful times. Hopefully, they both will join us again in Scotland and maybe Stuart and Eleanor will see us at some point too?

Yesterday, we arrived here in Hartlepool, a very interesting sail, not what the weather man said but a f6 with enormous waves. We had such a fast trip we had to pick up a buoy outside the harbour to wait for water and the lock. Today we went to visit the Trincomalee, which used to be called the T S Foudroyant, and was berthed in Portsmouth harbour in the 1960’s Nick had a week learning to sail when was just 10 years old. Those were the days of course when you could put a couple of dozen 10-12 year olds out in dinghies in Portsmouth Harbour and tell them simply to try and avoid the warships, ferries, commercial traffic and dockyard workboats. Gradually, the safety police made life more difficult and sailing courses for kids closed in the 1970s. Now it is part of the National Museum of The Royal Navy, which was fantastic, the ship was completely reconstructed and refurbished, afloat, but sitting in “dockyard street” with each shop telling the story of the dock side trades.

Our next stop was Blyth where there is a small marina just inside the harbour entrance. The adjoining club house is the Royal Northumberland Yacht Club, being the old Seven Stones lightship – the one that some of old enough will remember as the lightship that the Torrey Canyon tanker failed to see in 1967 causing a major ecological disaster. We meet up with other sailors who are also sailing around the UK and had a good evening in the Club’s lightship bar.

The club house at Blyth, Royal Northumberland YC

Leaving Blyth we set off for Amble, a lovely marina with wonderful showers and a bath in the ladies! We walked along the river path,  to Warkworth Castle well worth a visit, then on to lunch in a local pub where the night before was the local Rotary meeting – missed Rotary by a day again!

Today we left Amble for Eyemouth, again the weather forecaster said it would be a nice 4-5 southwest but it was in fact 2-7 north, north west. Heavy rain,hail, sun, wind in squalls of 28 knots then no wind and everything in between! On entering the harbour we were meet by seals swimming along side the boat to our berth.

576 miles from home port now, still friends, still talking to each other?

Update from Gail on Saturday 20 May

We left Port Solent on 11 May for Chichester to take part in the “Kids Out” day sailing on the 12th with children with special needs. We had two boys – great fun, but the most challenging of all the children we have taken out over the years. One would not get on the boat! Eventually we persuaded him on and guess what – he didn’t want to get off at the end of the sail. The other one got back on the mini bus and asked if he could come again tomorrow – which was nice to know he wanted to!

We left the mooring buoy at 3.45 am ( sorry we woke you up Hugh and Marian), the rain held off for half an hour and then it poured down for the next 2 hours. Originally we were heading in the direction of Brighton, but the wind was great so we kept on to Eastbourne. Had a couple of nights there and caught up with family and friends for lunch and tea.

Another early start in the rain for Ramsgate. Good wind till the entrance to Dover and then the wind dropped to nothing with a ferry coming out and a fast moving ship coming in. It was the engine from then on into Ramsgate where the wind picked up just in time for berthing. We had a few days looking at the sights of Ramsgate, a visit to the tunnels that were used in the war as homes for the local people as well as an air raid shelter. I am not at my best walking with torches for miles under the streets of Ramsgate – but the two guides were very good, one a local chap who grew up with the stories of life in the tunnel and a young lad doing his Duke of Edinburgh volunteering.

Ramsgate Tunnels

Another visit to the hotel we stayed at in January, but only for a splendid lunch! Off again in the rain, early – 6 am for Shotley marina, just next to Felixstowe. A good sail mainly, but we played the hedgehog crossing the road again with container ships and bulk carriers going into and coming out of London. We have been updating our charts as we go to reflect all the new wind farms which keep popping up on our way. One sad but interesting sight was a dead whale drifting near to the main channel outside Felixtowe –  a boat just ahead of us called the Dover coastguard to report the sighting.

Shotley marina is between the river Stour and the river Orwell, and was part of the old Ganges Naval Base to train “boys” to become sailors. Some may have heard of the “Button Boys” who all had to climb up to the top of a mast and stand on the very top in a display – no health and safety then? We went for a walk along the River Orwell and in a local churchyard came across about 100 graves of boy sailors who died in the 1918 flu epidemic – poignantly more of those than in the local war cemetery.

Shotley Marina

Today we left Shotley in dry weather and had sunshine till we berthed, that was the good part. The wind was from behind and the waves huge, making the boat roll – definitely not a sail to be repeated – although it was fast and we tied up in quite an exposed F6. Happily, the rain only then started at Lowestoft. We plan to stay here a couple of nights to pick up John (Bennett),  an additional crew member who will be sailing with us on Monday when we start the  long sail to Grimsby, weather permitting,

Well that’s the first week, 250ish miles sailed and we are still friends?

Lizzie Hagen
Lizzie Hagen
Phone: 209-946-2024
Year: 5th Season
Previous College: Pacific (2007)
Position: Assistant Coach

Hagen returned to Pacific to join the Tigers' coaching staff before the 2010 season and will enter her fifth year of coaching for Pacific. In 2013, the Tigers last in the conference, Hagen helped Pacific finish second in the Big West in team batting average (.283) and third in hits (423).

In her four years in the dugout for Pacific, Lizzie has helped develop a young core of players into conference champions after earning the Tigers' first ever Big West title in 2011. Working with the infield defensively and all of the Tigers' hitters, Hagen helped to guide Pacific's hitters to a team and conference-record .323 batting average in 2011, shattering the previous records of .299 and .311, respectively.

Coming off of a record breaking offensive season in 2011, the 2012 Tigers were nearly as good as Pacific finished the year hitting .307 as a team, ranking No. 23 in the nation and third all-time in Big West history. On top of their batting average, the Tigers led the way in the Big West in almost every offensive category as Pacific was tops in: slugging (.439), on-base% (.390), runs (260), hits (430), RBI (235), doubles (80), home runs (34), walks (169) and total bases (614).

Additionally, Hagen was in charge of Pacific's scouting and game-plan development.

Prior to coming back to Pacific, Hagen spent two seasons at Saint Mary's after graduating from Pacific in 2007 with a degree in education. On the bench for the Gaels, Hagen's duties included working with the infield, hitting and game day management. Off the field, Hagen assisted with the Gaels' recruiting and travel coordination.

One of the top players to wear the Orange and Black at Pacific, Hagen finished her four year career in 2007. A two-time all-conference shortstop, Hagen ended her career among the top-10 in Tiger history in home runs (No. 6 - 17), doubles (No. 8 - 33), triples (No. 8 - 7), RBI (No. 10 - 85), Runs (No. 8 - 112) and walks (No. 4 - 80). In her final season of action, Hagen helped lead the Tigers back to the NCAA tournament after posting career-highs in hitting (.281), home runs (7), hits (50), RBI (33) and runs (42).

Defensively, Hagen was one of the best shortstops in the conference and the country as she led the Tigers' infield to a .978 fielding percentage in 2006, ranking Pacific No. 6 in the country in fielding. During the season, Hagen committed just four errors at short, a career-best for the infielder.

Additional info for Cocoa Programming

Sample text

Messaging is implemented by a simple, small, and efficient runtime. Most languages have a runtime to initialize the program stack and heap and call a program entry point like the main() function used in C. In Objective-C the runtime has a much more pervasive role. The Objective-C runtime is active throughout the running life of a program and is much more than just an initializer. c extension used for C code. m extension tells the compiler to expect Objective-C code rather than standard C code. c.

Class interfaces begin with the @interface keyword and end with the @end keyword as follows: @interface MYObject : NSObject { } @end In the example, a new class called MYObject is declared to be a subclass of the NSObject class. The NSObject class is part of Cocoa. Almost every class in Cocoa is directly or indirectly a subclass of NSObject. More information about NSObject is provided later in this chapter. At this time, it is only important to note that because MYObject is a subclass of NSObject, MYObject inherits all the NSObject class's instance variables and understands all the messages that NSObject understands.

The libraries are present on all OS X installations so that Cocoa applications can run, but the developer CD-ROM provides alternate versions of the libraries to aid debugging and performance analysis. The header files are required to compile Cocoa applications. A framework is a collection of libraries, header files, documentation, and resources organized so that Apple's developer tools can access the information. Apple's OS X developer CD-ROM contains frameworks for Carbon, 100% Pure Java, Cocoa, AppleScript, Perl, and more.

Endangered Hawk Blocks CA Bridge Repair

Friday, May 19, 2017

Comment | More

Construction on a Bay Area bridge ground to a halt this week after crews discovered a protected species of hawk nesting in nearby trees.

According to media reports, the presence of a Swainson’s hawk—listed as a threatened species by the California Department of Fish and Game since 1983—could delay work on Interstate 80 overpasses for up to a year.

Work was slated to begin Monday (May 15) on the Midway and Meridian bridges east of Vacaville, a city of about 96,000 people that sits 35 miles west of Sacramento and 55 miles east of San Francisco.

The hawk and the unhatched eggs nestled inside the nest scuttled that plan, which includes demolishing the Midway Bridge and building a new span that meets seismic retrofit standards. California Department of Transportation spokesman Vince Jacala said construction workers aren’t allowed within 600 feet of the nest.

Looking Down the Road

For the time being, crews will shift their focus to the nearby Meridian overpass. Work is scheduled to begin Friday (May 19), and lane patterns will be altered for three to six months.

“These bridges (were) built back in the ’50s, and it’s something we have to update and take care of,” Jacala said. “In a perfect world, someone would have spotted (the hawk) earlier.”

Judith Lamare, president of Friends of the Swainson’s hawk—an organization based in Sacramento—said the bird’s well-being takes precedence.

“Everybody that builds in California and the Central Valley knows the rules of the game,” Lamare said. “Historically, there were about 17,000 Swainson’s hawks; today, there are about 4,000 breeding Swainson’s hawks.”

Swainson's Hawk

Swainson's hawks are an endangered species, with about 17,000 in California and other western states.

Lamare noted that 80 percent of Swainson’s hawks—named for Richard Swainson, a British naturalist—nest and mate within 70 miles of Sacramento.

Nature’s Roadblocks

This isn’t the first time an endangered species has impacted the progress of a construction project.

  • A plan to replace the Lyons Dam in Ionia County, Michigan, was suspended after Department of Natural Resources surveyors spotted snuffbox mussels in the Grand River.
  • A $5.8 million project to build a new Stepps Ford Bridge in Ottawa County, Oklahoma, came to a standstill in August 2014 after a change in the bridge's design troubled federal officials, who felt it could threaten madtom catfish in the Neosho River.
  • And earlier this year, work was halted on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge near San Francisco in order to preserve the nest of an Anna's hummingbird.

My Muse is Gone :(

Category : Talent Gigs

Devastated amateur photographer (JK! Im not really devastated. Im just being dramatic Haha!) looking new source of inspiration, as my muse is leaving the HV area for awhile. She was the girl next door type. Natural beauty. Always nude. friend. We knocked out lots of small, simple photoshoot projects, just an hour or two here and there, so I can improve my skills and do something creative with my free time (ie not watch mindless TV).

The real loss however, is that although I paid her well for her time, it wasn't all about the money but also about the collaboration, the creative process. So I guess Im not only seeking the right look but also the right personality/vibe. (i.e. smart, sweet, creative, thoughtful) That connection is hard to replace!!!

BTW, everything we shoot is not posted anywhere and you get copies of everything! Well thats all for now. if this sounds like you maybe, then lets chit chat and and see if we are a good match :)

CERITA ANAK (Child's Story)

Cerita Anak (Child’s Story) takes pre-school children and their adults on a sea journey never to be forgotten.
Climb aboard and be rocked and rolled across a strange ocean, dive to the bottom of the sea, hear stories on the wind and in the currents of the water, and face great danger before coming to safe harbour.
Cerita Anak (Child’s Story) is inspired by the seafaring history of Java, Indonesia, and a true tale of a small boy’s arrival in Australia. Cerita Anak places children at the heart of the story by inviting the audience, young and old, to be passengers on this adventure on the high seas.
Combining puppetry, song, shadow imagery and sound, the show bustles with all the life of the ocean – from the fish below to the birds above – while evoking the majesty and mystery of the sea itself.
Cerita Anak was in part developed in a fishing village north of Java, where Melbourne's Polyglot Theatre and Indonesia's Papermoon Puppet Theatre worked with local children to create this exquisite encounter.
Empowering its young audience as they navigate the high seas, Cerita Anak is also a timely reflection of the refugee experience and the history of our region.
Get The Tickets : HERE

This is the third years for Papermoon Puppet Theatre and Polyglot Theatre building 'CERITA ANAK'. On 2015, Sue Giles (Artistic Director or Polyglot Theatre) and Anna Tregolan (Set Designer of Cerita Anak) came to Yogya, and we did the first stage of development process for CERITA ANAK in Lasem (Central java), and Kepek (Bantul, Yogyakarta).

The second development process happened in Yogya again, while Sue, Anna and Steph O'Hara (music composer of Cerita Anak) came to do 'the making' and research process.
Then the third development process happened in Artplay-Melbourne, when Ria (Co. Artistic Director of Papermoon Puppet Theatre), Anton fajri (artistic team of papermoon), and Wulang Sunu (animator of Cerita Anak) came.  We did several workshops with children to try some parts of CERITA ANAK.
In between those process, Polyglot Theatre did several workshop with Dinjerra children, and through pictures and drawings they made, they could tell their experience of what 'boats' for them.
So, here we are now..
getting ready to do our world premiere of CERITA ANAK (Child's Story).
This 'immersive theatre' will bring audiences to different  experience.

My paintings are now available on Etsy! I have wanted to be a seller on Etsy, since sometime around the year 2007. The problem was I didn't have an answer to the question "What will I sell?" Last year I made some real strides in hunkering down to create my own artwork and sharing that art outside of the four walls of my studio. Sharing your art is a fairly intimidating experience or at least it is for me. I always enjoyed working for companies as an artist, because I was working within a structure. Stepping away from my role working for a large corporation allowed me to start exploring what I enjoy creating. I'm very much still at the start of that journey, but just like participating in my first art show last year was a big step so is making my work accessible on Etsy. If you'd like to check out my shop you can see it here. I hope to eventually add a permanent link to it on this blog, so look back for that later. Below is a sneak peak of a few of the paintings I have on Etsy.

I'll be sharing my weekend recap later this week! I'm excited to discuss an artist I heard speak over the weekend with you. Hope your week is off to a great start!

Newsletter Sept. 6, 2011

Where in the world did I leave my keys?? I can’t find my glasses anywhere   … Do you remember the title of that movie with Fred Astaire … you know the one with the buried pot of gold?

There are so many things to remember!  How do you say “Je me souviens” in English? Oh, right, I remember!  And what’s the word for ‘gloves’ in French?

In fact, if you really want to get good in a foreign language,  one of the things you need …. is a memory. Fortunately, most of us are born with one that’s pretty incredible.  Having a brain is a starting point.  Using some of it for storage – quite like the HD of a computer or even the vaporous cloud, is the second step. A little focus, devote some energy to concentration … and then … the key is:

Once, twice, three times … 4 … 5 … 6 …. 7. That’s the magic number. Repeat something a few times, up to 7 even and you’ll likely remember it.

Of course it does take a little effort. But then, what doesn’t? You get what you pay for!  That’s the price of the investment!

The curious thing about repeating is that we won’t necessarily learn anything if we just repeat things in the same way. Only smart parrots do that. We need to link them to something. They need to stick. Like glue. Try learning a word, a line like an actor or actress memorizing a text…in a context, with feeling, with emotion.  Say it out loud, say it soft, whisper it, shout it!  Say it with anger. Make it sincere … or make it sarcastic. Make it ironic …. make it happy.  Say it with love. Mobilize your …. emotional memory.  You’ll remember better. And longer.

You can learn – that’s to say – acquire, and that’s to say, remember just about anything you want for the price of … taking the time to … think it, feel it and repeat it. Do it over and over again. In time. Once or twice today, once or twice tomorrow, once or twice in a few days … and the miracle is … that later on, in a week or two or in a month, a year from you’ll recall it… and quickly.

True for words, true for images if you look;  true for sounds if you listen;  True for facts … and true for fiction. Propaganda works that way.

Repetition. A two-edged sword. Because our memories are not only voluntary: learning as we want through repetition. We have extraordinary capacities and … we can unconsiously and involuntarily remember even what we don’t intend to …

Just for fun … let your memory work for you today!

Public Email to Andy Comiskey in Light of Child Molestation Made Public

In light of the recent post about learning of multiple child molestations occurring in Andy Comiskey’s ex-gay ministry, Desert Stream Minitries, and how offended I was by his telling of the story (which can be seen on this link), here is the email I just sent to him to let him give us his full explanation:

Hi Andy,
I was alerted this afternoon by a friend of mine to your blog post earlier this month regarding the child molestation situation with a staff member of DSM a few years back. Instead of going to you directly to ask a bunch of level-headed questions, I just fired off the following blog post of my own because I was so distraught to what I read:
Why I mentioned John Ortberg is because I know John, and was wondering if he (or any of the other churches in your network) knew anything about this situation? I will be contacting John soon as well to ask him.
I wrote my post because I don’t see one ounce of a public apology to the teenager or his family. The ex-gay movement, and the gay community in general, is so marred by public perceptions that gay people are child molesters, that this, at least in my mind, is a huge deal! I would think that a public apology would be the first thing written about?
David Roberts, from Ex-Gay Watch, commented on my blog and he said he emailed you, and you told David that there was another molestation with a teenager that happened five years later as well. So I have a few questions, and I would be humbled to receive a response. I would love for the world to hear details of your side of the story, to potentially clear all of this up. And so I am upfront, I will be posting this email, and your response on my blog to all of my readers who are now following this situation. Thank you for your time Andy.
Q1: For the record, do you think child molestation is wrong? You never said those exact words in your post.
Q2: Did you directly apologize to the teenager and the family of the first molestation?
Q3: Is this the first time any of this information about the first molestation has ever been made public?
Q4: Have you ever publicly apologized for this first incident of child molestation?
Q5: If so, where can I find a link? If not, are you willing to do so now and I am wondering why has it taken so long?
Q6: Is there any reconciliation between the teenager or the family and yourself/DSM?
Q7: What happened to the employee after the first molestation? If it was the same person who molested again five years later, why was he still allowed to work for DSM? Child molestation is a federal offense – did the family not want to press charges? If not, do you know why they didn’t want to? What about the second molestation and that family?
Q8: Did you directly apologize to the teenager and the family of the second molestation?
Q9: Is this the first time any of that information about the second molestation ever been made public?
Q10: Have you ever publicly apologized for the second incident of child molestation?
Q11: If so, where can I find a link? If not, are you willing to do so now and why has it taken so long?
Q12: Is there any reconciliation between the teenager or the family and yourself/DSM?
Q13: Do you understand or recognize how shady this looks for all of this information to be kept a secret, when so many people, families and churches are trusting you with such intimate details and situations? Don’t you think this would be vital information to make public so everyone knows you’re trying to be authentic, instead of just hiding horrible stuff?
Q14: How can anyone trust your leadership, or your ministry again? Why should they trust your leadership or ministry? Are you hiding anything else and would like to come clean now?
Q15: What steps are put in place now to ensure this never happens again? If it does, what are the standard operating procedures for private and public recognition and reconciliation?
Q16: Why did you hide this information for so long? Was it because you believed it would hurt your ministry, donations and influence? Were you embarrassed by it? Did you not think it was a good idea to be honest to everyone – partner churches, donors, etc?
Q17: How did you handle the situation with the employee(s) who did the molesting?
Q18: Have you kept all of this information hidden from all of your network of churches?
Q19: Why did you wait so long to make this information public?
Q20: Why did you correlate this situation of child molestation with gay marriage? Those two aren’t parallel.
Q21: One of the commenters on my blog, Anon, sees you and your work in a favorable light, but wonders:
“I just get the feeling from reading Andy’s blog that he’s not trying to tell the whole story, but just give a pseudo-historical narrative of God’s work in their ministry. I bet (I hope!) that if you asked him that there would be a lot more to the story of repentance that he’d never put on a blog.” What do you have to say to this question?
Q22: Why did you decide to highlight the fact that “not one story was printed about the tragedy” towards the end of the post? It makes it sound like you’re proud of the fact you were able to hide it for so long?
Q23: Anything else you would like us to publicly know about this situation or yourself?
Thank you so much for taking time to be fully transparent in this difficult situation to clear it all up.
Much love,
Andrew Marin

    Excellent email. Looking forward to reading his responses.

  • David Foreman

    I can’t believe people “Un-friended” you over that email. They obviously have issues of their own. Sounds like a text-book right-wing head-in-the-sand reaction to me. (Wow. Look at all the hyphenations!)

  • Phelim McIntyre

    Andy – please read his books and websites before asking questions in a public email. To those of us who do it does not show your concerns rather you trying to score points. You condemn critics who read your stuff as well as those who don’t but do not bother to try and speak with Andy or read his materials. No wonder many in the ex-gay community have concerns about you when you do this.

    All your question will be answered if you bother to read the books Pursuing Sexual Wholeness and Strength Through Weakness. Until you bother to do this please refrain from this type of action, it just shows how insecure you are in your ministry.

  • William

    Any answer yet to your e-mail, Andrew?

  • Jeff

    I was there when a lot of this happened at Desert Stream. Due to what happened with one previous staff member and due to legal issues they had to keep mum on the whole situation. As well DS had a difficult relationship for a while with the Anaheim Vineyard till everything came clear in the court case. One of the major things that changed was that no one going through DS could be under the age of 18 which was normally the case but there were a few exceptions and with that created the mess with the former staff member. I honestly think Andy was trying to be forthright and honest and waited till a later date to disclose what occurred. Not hiding or running from the facts because during all the mess he was very upfront with anyone who knew or asked.

    As well I know for a fact there was an apology to the family and the young man and their was great grief and sorrow of what happened to them as a family. As to child molestation and it being wrong that is a no brainer coming from Andy for in fact he is the father of four young adults now and in the Living Waters material you can easily see that it is wrong dealing with the areas of abuse.

  • Caldog

    Years ago I enrolled in Desert Stream in Santa Monica. Talk about suspension of disbelief – I tried to accept all that Andy taught, but the noxious brew of charismatic healing doctrine and pop psychology was more than a reasonably intelligent and educated man could comfortably swallow. At the time I was attending an evangelical non-denominational church. During this time I was deeply depressed and tried to feel better through anonymous sex in public restrooms. Anonymous sex was a way to live out the ex-gay lie by avoiding social contact with gay friends that might offer the possibility of real intimacy. The self-destructive behavior only made me feel more lonely and depressed. I have long since returned to the Judaism in which I was raised, a tradition that allows ambiguity and accepts differing viewpoints on life’s questions including sexuality. I now fully accept my sexuality and look back on the time I lived as a Christian denying my true identity as the saddest period of my life.

    • Lauren

      Wow Caldog, great post. I was one of those people at church trying to get gays to change and go to Desert Stream. In fact I went through it myself to support a lesbian friend. I can relate to your statement about suspension of disbelief. I really talked myself in to believing it, and I fully thought I was doing the right thing. But there was always a tiny voice of reason whispering otherwise into my ear. Now years later, I regret what I did. My friend didn’t stay “straight” and is now married to a woman. I’m happy she doesn’t hold that time against me! I’ve completely changed my views now. I’m glad you’ve moved upward and onwards….

Watercolor on Tea Bags

Hello Friends!

Hope you are enjoying your weekend, especially

if this is a long weekend for you!

It seems like I've been drinking a lot of tea lately, so I

thought it was time to get out my tea bags

and get creative!

This is a mixed-media piece on watercolor paper.

First, I tore pieces of the tea bags and glued them to the

watercolor paper to start my background.

This is another piece I started just today where I decided to use

a rubber stamp before applying the tea bags for added interest.

I love the color and texture the tea bags create.

 After the background was dry, I started to sketch out my design.

The dragonfly is a rubber stamp.

Finally, a little simple hand stitching on linen for added texture.

The light was so beautiful and inviting on my desk today.

Oh, and don't you just love my new pencil box I got at the

second-hand store for 97 cents?

What creative things have you been doing?

Remembering the men and women who died while serving in the

United States Armed Forces this Memorial Day.

The Rhodies and Lucy

The "Rhody"

Making it's appearance in every garden, and just about anywhere you

go around Washington.  I guess that's one of the reasons the

Rhododendron is our state flower.

This lavender Rhody adorns one side of our front yard.

 These large, hot pink blooms hang over our yard

from the neighboring yard,

brightening up our dining area and kitchen.

I remember one year ago (today in fact)  that I arrived here from

Las Vegas and I saw the colorful blooms from the windows,

 I knew I would love our

new home.

This red Rhody corners the other side of our front yard.

This shrub comes in so many different colors and varieties.

Large blooms go from this... this!

While I was taking some of these shots today,

I walked around the corner and saw

Lucy in her spot looking out the window.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't  the colorful Rhododendrons that was

catching her attention.

More likely, the squirrels that run up and down the large pine tree

near the window.

I guess that's why she loves this spot. :-)

Time to close your eyes Lucy and take a little cat nap.

Those squirrels will be there when you wake up.

Fern Leaf Doily

Oh my, I was beginning to think I was never going to finish this doily!

This one was a bit difficult for me, and tested my patience for sure. :-)

I've lost count how many times I had to rip out a round or two and

start over.

Fern Leaf Doily

This doily measures about 16" in diameter, which makes it the

largest crochet doily piece I've ever made.

I'm really kind of surprised it blocked out like it did because when I got it all

pinned down I could see a big mistake...can you?

I'm not telling! LOL

I found this pattern from a fellow blogger and crochet buddy. :-)

Thanks Kate

for answering my questions and for your words of

If you'd like to see this doily in a different color and get the

pattern, I hope you'll visit Kate

You know, I don't really know why I'm so obsessed with making doilies.

I don't really use them in my home, however,

I think this one found it's place in our guest room, and the lamp

kind of hides my mistake. :-)

So, what's next you say?

Well, I'm thinking of something a bit smaller, however,  every time

I visit Kate's blog,  I see another beautiful doily she's made,

and I'm hooked.

The ferns I'm showing you today, are from my front yard.

Such an interesting plant, and they love the wet climate here.

Hope you are enjoying the weekend.

I'll be over soon to get caught up with you!

A Mother's Day Wish

I just wanted to drop in and wish all of you

beautiful women out there a

Happy Mother's Day today!

I chose a lovely, white lilac I picked from a

neighboring tree down the ally to share with you

on this special day.

If only I could share the scent of this magnificent bloom!

Even though I am only "Mother" to 3 fur baby cats, and my own

Mother has since passed, I am spending my day

reading, crocheting and simply being around those I love. :-)

The weather this past week has keep me outdoors, away from my computer,

gardening, enjoying the sunshine,

and working on this crochet piece.

I only have two more rounds to go!  I'm also hoping it will look better once

I get it blocked.  Stay tuned for the final showing! :-)

Overcast skies and rain have returned, so maybe now, I can spend some

time indoors, visiting blogs and baking cookies!

Rainy Day Tulips

It's not raining today...

In fact, we are expecting beautiful weather over the next several

days with highs near 80 degrees!

So, with that being said, I'm going to go outside to play. :-)

Hope you enjoyed my "rainy day tulips!"

Surfing with Myrna and JAWS

JAWS: Screen reader software from Freedom
that reads pages on a computer out loud. JAWS is licensed to 100,000 people world wide today in approximately two dozen languages. It is the number one screen-reading program for the visually impaired in the world, with approximately a 70 percent market share according to many independent studies.

Skip Navigation: Web developers can add a bit of code to their pages -- that is only seen by screen readers -- so people who don't want to hear the main navigation on every page can skip over it to the main contents of the page.

Alt Tagging: Developers can add an alternate descriptive text to graphics and photos on their site so the screen reader can read aloud what people are missing by not seeing graphics.

Buffer Mode / Virtual Buffer: JAWS puts Web pages into a buffer where the text can be read using normal reading keys because there is no visible cursor to use.

An Empowerment or Strength Journal is a book or record you create to chart progress, make steps to follow and create a journey to building strength. It can be used for writing down experiences you have, words that give you strength and help you to work toward your success! This journal ia a good place to record your information so that you can go back and look at later.

Tips for Power Journaling

1.Strength building is about creating balance. Upon waking, pick up your journal and write down a goal for the day. Commit yourself to doing one thing that will empower you today.

2. It is a good idea to focus on one specific thing that will bring about change today, no matter how awkward it may feel. Be focused. Identity: Make a list of traits/strengths that people identify with you. Then make a list of traits/strengths that you identify as yourself.

3. Determination is the key element you must apply to see your goal through today. Be determined Be strong. How do you act according to your decisions? How is your will independant?

4. Jot down an affirmation that you will repeat throughout the day “I am a brilliant, strong life force today”, “I am proud of myself and will extend my pride even further today”, “I will achieve a strong new goal today”. “I feel empowered to…”

5. Standing up for what you believe in is the sign of a confident person. You can achieve this by having faith in what you choose to set as your goal.

6. Having faith in your abilities is trusting your heart’s desire. And no one can deny your heart’s desire.

7. Take a look at the people or situations that TAKE AWAY yourstrength, write them down. Now, is the time to realize what, when and who disempower you. These are the people or areas of your life you need to detach from.

8. Take a look at your positive attributes. These are your strengths you will use as tools to detach from your disempowering situations and take you further and create the powerful person you choose to be.

9. Reflect on your past empowering times. Use these as stepping stones in order to reach your goal. You have done it before and you will do it again.

10. As you inspire yourself and build your self-esteem, you inspire confidence in others. This natural progression is one of the most rewarding gifts you can receive. Write down 10 items, people, places… which inspire, empower and give you life. How do these inspirations figure into your life. How will you use these as tool to bring out the most potential and radiant you?

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. ” – Mahatma Gandhi

Armstrong Merger Updates
March 11th, 2017 @ 12:19 pm

Sorry, I have seen the latest news, but I haven’t had a chance to write up my opinions.  Because for some silly reason, my tiny opinions do matter.  I have just been busy with work.  That’s a whole another entry I’m not going to write about.

Group OKs recommendation to save Armstrong name, honor athletic scholarships amid Ga. Southern consolidation

I hope the process of keeping the names does happen. The names like Solms and Gamble and Armstrong itself belong to Savannah and the campus.  It will do no good to give them names of people associated with Southern.  If you’re going to kill off the school, leave as much as its legacy as possible. I know if I were to return to Armstrong and didn’t see Victor and Hawes Halls have those names, I’d be upset.

Armstrong State ending athletic programs pending committee approval

This one sucks. I only hope that with the consolidation, they aren’t throwing out all of the athletics faculty. For example, our tennis program. It’s very successful. I remember seeing a billboard about it in Smyrna, GA, when I lived in Atlanta:

AASU Billboard

Southern would be a bunch of fools not to take the success of Armstrong’s programs and try to incorporate those winning thoughts into the “new” school’s programs.

For the athletes losing their programs, I like the fact they are allowing them to continue schooling on scholarships. It’s a no-win situation, but better to still have a scholarship than to lose any monies.
