A wide selection of career fields requires employees to frequently express their thoughts and information through writing. Department of Labor, the employment of pharmacy technicians will increase by 32 percent inside the 2010-20 decade. This is an indispensable service if you're house bound and not able to travel.

As these drugs online are developing everyday almost all types of medicines available in medical stores are offered also there. My heart ached on their behalf because their doctors were only hurting them by increasing their dosages and allowing them being so determined by drugs. Cu transformed an easy data entry service company into becoming one with the country's largest outsourcing service providers.

Hence, these are constantly seeking options to control fat gain from birth control pills bought from any discount pharmacy or Canadian pharmacy. They are paid in salary in contrast to hourly wages. In most states physician assistants can prescribe medication also.

It doesn't seem fair people don't have cheap drugs available for purchase and that they may be burdened with spending most of their life worrying about a thing that could affect their survival like this. When all factors are believed, however, I would need to say that this prices charged at CVS Pharmacy and Rite Aid Pharmacy are very comparable. Most drugs need to get stored at exact temperatures, so one with the things pharmacists learn in pharmaceutical quality training will be the necessary steps to keep the facilities clean and in compliance with regulations.

Many pharmacies have automated calls that will call you on your phone and then leave a message as soon as your order is ready. If the situation is not treated on an extended period of time, it may well lead to serious complications including cancer. This institute can be found in Mohali, Punjab and is completely dedicated towards advanced studies and new researches on pharmaceutical science.

Frequently Asked Question about Koowheel Scooter
In order to help you know more about Koowheel Scooters, here are some FAQs for your reference:
1.What does Koowheel mean?
It means that you can drive it to go anywhere freely according to your thinking; just go anywhere freely and enjoy gliding.
Koowheel means free to go anywhere you want .

2.What's a glide?
A glide is a trip you take on Koowheel. We like the term because it simply and accurately describes the easy and smooth riding motion of a Koowheel. Gliding is a fun way to meet new people, see the sights, or just get out and enjoy the day.

3.What is it like to glide on Koowheel?
Gliding on Koowheel feels like nothing you've ever experienced! Step on and your instincts take over. You'll quickly realize that the Koowheel will respond similarly to how you balance yourself ,as if it were an extension of your body. Simply lean forward slightly and the Koowheel will move in response. It all feels incredibly natural and really cool.

4.How does Koowheel move? How does it balance?
Koowheel senses the lean of  rider with the assistance of two-dimensional inertial navigation system and two accelerometers that sense the angle of the Koowheel with respect to gravity at 100 times per second. It balances rider by applying forces to the ground in the direction of the lean. If you lean forward the Koowheel applies motor torque to the wheel to push it forward, bring you upright and balance you. When you lean back, it applies reverse torque to slow you down and balance you accordingly.

5.What is advantage of using Koowheel?
It can save the time spent on traffic and improve the efficience.It is green instrument.It conforms the requirement of new energy in new century.

Episode 75 - We Ain't Ashes

The Z-Realm returns for a double-dose of AMC's The Walking Dead.  The focus this time is on episodes 5 and 6 from season 5 of our favorite zombie program. Episode 5, "Self Help" reveals much of the backstory for Abraham and features an important reveal from Eugene as well.  We also learn that a mullet can also be called a Tennessee Tophat!  We follow that up with episode 6, "Consumed" where we finally see what happened with Carol and Daryl after the night they left on the trail of Beth.  Featuring one of the most ridiculous moments in the 5 seasons of the show, we still ended up enjoying ourselves while watching it. Perhaps we are all getting soft. There was much geographical questioning, and only later did we discover the answers to those questions here ( warning, this does contain spoilers ).  We then turn to other media, talking at length about the magnificent Birdman before bidding you all adieu until the next time.  Let us know what you thought about these two episodes of the TV show and also about the podcast. Write to or drop a message on our Facebook page.

INDIA - Dossier time!

Hello all!  Much needed update follows!
     We are adopting this little girl we told you about earlier!  Her name is Abha, and I'll just tell you right now, she's adorable.  I hesitated posting more details because for a while it was back and forth.  Do we have her or don't we?  Can we pursue or not?  We prayed and prayed for wisdom and calm and that Abha find a safe family, as things were uncertain and thankfully God answered our prayers AND allowed that we be the family for Abha which was just icing on the cake.  I firmly believe that God is guiding Abha to a family and also guiding our story, we feel privileged that it could be us entrusted with Abha.  So far so good!  We are two approvals into the 6-step gauntlet.
     We were matched with her on March 20 after much uncertainty.  There was a system error that appeared that we could not continue with her referral, but then the region said they were under the impression we were matched, so that was good news! Then a few weeks later the central authority said no, because of the previous mistake another family had reserved her.  Then a few weeks later after our agency appealed on our behalf, the central agency granted us the reservation and matched us with her.  Phew!  Talk about a roller coaster!  So we continued on with the immigration paperwork, and one of the papers appeared unacceptable.  After about a week, and a discussion with the supervisor, it was decided that the paper was acceptable.  NOW we are ready to obtain the necessary documents to fill out the DS-260 to obtain a visa for Abha to eventually travel to the US!  In the meantime, our acceptance dossier (see following pics) is traveling through India being approved (the next two approval steps) and will hopefully end with our NOC (no objection certificate) then it's the two court processes.  Little by little, we inch through!  Also we are going to be getting more info from the orphanage about her likes and dislikes and details about her day.  Hopefully in a little while we'll be able to send her gifts and pictures.  Once we pass court, I can share pictures.  Until then, I want to show you what an international dossier looks like, in case you ever wondered. I'll give you a hint.  It looks like a mountain of papers.

Yipes!  Imagine the postage!  It'll give you nightmares!

Stitched: Reversible Coasters

There was a birthday package sent off recently. I thought I would see if I could zip off a set of coasters. I only had a couple of hours, but with some scrap fabric that happened to match the recipient's curtains and pillows, I did my best. Obviously they're not exactly gerade (straight), but the recipient is of the forgiving and grateful sort, so into the birthday box they went. The fun part is that one side matches his kitchen, the other his living room.

Nothing rocket science about these coasters. I cut out squares of fabric, used some old T-shirt scraps to add a layer of padding, sewed partially shut, trimmed the corners, flipped right side out, and top stitched around the edges to polish it off. You could check out this tutorial if you need a visual.

Fabric coasters are so much better than hard coasters, don't you find? No scratching, no slipping, no banging, no condensation dripping, etc. We have some nice felt ones in our living room and love them. What about you? Are you a fabric coaster fan?

PS- all fabric has been cut and ironed for the pillows, my friends! Progress!

On Wednesday, President Trump switched up his National Security Council by removing controversial White House chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon.

It’s part of an entire sweep that bumps up several key military and intelligence officials to bigger roles on the council. The Joint Chiefs of Staff and the director of national intelligence are back on the council, and newcomers like the energy secretary, C.I.A. director and United Nations ambassador have been added to the list, notes the NewYork Times.

According to two senior White House officials said Bannon’s departure wasn’t a demotion, as he’s barely gone to any meetings since getting on the council. He was originally placed on the committee to watch over then-national security advisor Michael Flynn, who has since resigned after not being upfront about his ties with Russia’s ambassador. But with H.R. McMaster replacing Flynn, there’s no need for Bannon to attend.

McMaster was at the helm of the sudden shake-up and he was also known to publicly disagree with of Bannon’s opinions.

It’s said to be all in an effort to restore more of a George W. Bush-era-type NSC.

“There was a concern when this administration came in that the national security council under the prior administration had grown too large and had taken on operational responsibilities that were not properly its role,” the second official told the Washington Post.

The death toll is mounting.

Parasite disease rises in Sudan

The number of cases of a potentially fatal parasitic disease has increased six-fold in southern Sudan.

Visceral leismaniasis- also known as kala-azar – is the most severe form of the disease.

More than 6,000 people have been infected and over 300 have died in the last year.

The World Health Organization and the Sudanese ministry of health are leading the distribution of treatments and testing equipment to affected areas.

Visceral leishmaniasis is caused by the Leishmania parasite and transmitted via the bite of an infected sand fly.

It is the most dangerous form of the disease because the parasite migrates into the spleen and liver.

It causes high fever, significant weight loss, enlargement of the spleen and liver, and anaemia. If left untreated visceral leishmaniasis is nearly always fatal.

The number of cases from September 2009 until now is more than six times higher than in 2007-08.

The counties of Old Fangak and Ayod in the south of the country are particularly affected.
Dr Abdi Aden, head of the WHO’s office for Southern Sudan said “The increased number of cases in Old Fangak, Ayod and surrounding areas is very disturbing and it is becoming difficult to contain the outbreak.

“Before the situation becomes uncontrollable, we must do something about it.”

To keep responding to the outbreak over the next six months an additional $700,000 is needed.

This will buy more treatments, diagnostic kits as well as food supplies.

Kala-azar suppresses the immune system making patients vulnerable to other infections like pneumonia and malaria. Those that are malnourished are at particularly high risk of dying.

The disease is difficult to treat – daily injections for a month are needed, so patients need to stay close to health facilities.

But many patients still cannot reach treatment centres due to insecurity, flooding and distance.

Dr Mounir Christo Lado of the Sudanese ministry of health said the kala-azar outbreak could worsen between now and next spring.

“Insecurity, flooding and the lack of health facilities across a vast geographical area are all playing a part in limiting access to treatment for this deadly disease.”

Deltamethrin is the alternative pesticide to DDT. The datasheet shows that it is moderately hazardous, moderately toxic, there isn’t enough information to know how carcinogenic it might be, and it causes endocrine disruption.

per current events

On the left are Crunchberries. On the right are blueberries. Just in case there was any lingering doubt, I’m saving you the legal fees. And the public humiliation.

4 thoughts on “per current events

  1. I forwarded this to my brother, restraining myself from repeating what I said in my e-mail to you. He may live in California, but he’s still my brother and I still love him.

  2. Apparently the same lawyers helped some other fools sue because of there being no Froot in Froot Loops. Are they the cereal version of ambulance chasers?

  3. I find it highly entertaining that there is a court document somewhere out there with the word “froot” in it.

Memorial Funds for Adoption

LegacyChildLogoSome of our staff spent last week in Nashville exhibiting at the AACC World Conference with over 7,000 attendees promoting our Legacy Child ministry! It was a great week filled with lots of great conversations. Legacy Child has so much potential for families and adoption and I want to make sure I mention it periodically on the blog.

What is Legacy Child?
Many of us are looking for a meaningful way to create a living legacy in memory of a loved one. Legacy Child allows you to do that…many times over! We help you set up a perpetual fund to provide interest free loans to families who are desiring to adopt.

How It Works

  1. We set up a fund in your loved one’s name. You and others can then make tax deductible contributions into this fund. This can be a one time gift or you can continue to make periodic contributions to your loved one’s fund.
  2. You may also submit a photograph and brief biography to be added to our website.
  3. We allow you to choose the family who will benefit from your fund by selecting from our pre-approved families, or we can choose the family taking into consideration your specified preferences.
  4. As the initial family repays their loan and your fund is replenished, you can choose another family to help as your gifts keep on giving.
  5. Each approved adopting family will indicate the level of communication desired with the donor. You can choose a family that fits your level of communication desired.

For more information please visit our website and we’d love to talk.

One thought on “Memorial Funds for Adoption

  1. Jason, Thanks for sharing about the Legacy Child Ministry! I also wanted to let folks know that our family decided last Christmas to start a Legacy Child (honor fund) instead of purchasing gifts that our family really didn’t need, we decided to give to our fund to help bring home an orphan to their forever family.

    In fact, we met a couple last week that needed about the same amount of money that we had in our Honor fund to help bring home their little boy from russia in the next few weeks. Our fund is currently being used to bring home a little one to his forever family! Thanks to Julie and Dwain at the office moving quickly on this request. This is a wonderful ministry and a way that anyone can easily become involved in orphan care.

    I just wanted to make everyone aware that you don’t have to wait until someone passes on to start a Legacy Child Fund!

    Please consider starting a Legacy Fund Memorial or Honor today!!!

    Thanks again Jason for bringing this wonderful ministry up on the blog! (what a great blog it is!!)

Searching for Ghosts in Ireland

Things I didn’t know before I went to Ireland. Over one MILLION men, women and children died during the Great Irish Famine, mostly the rural poor. There was enough food in Ireland to feed the starving population but the British exported it, around thirty to fifty shipments of food produce left the country daily. It is viewed by some historians today as direct or indirect genocide. One million more people fled Ireland. Their empty, collapsed stone houses still litter the landscape. The country’s population dropped by a quarter. Today, there are only about 4 million people living in Ireland.

One of those who left was my great grandmother, Julia. She was only sixteen when she made the dangerous voyage across the Atlantic alone to seek a better life in the United States. Though who knows what kind of discrimination she faced, she eventually found work as a maid in a hotel. She married my great grandfather, Patrick, a dock worker who had emigrated with his widowed mother and six siblings. Only two made it to adulthood.

My grandfather was the youngest of their nine children and the first in our family to go to college. He went to Yale on a scholarship and later became a math professor. All of his six children received college degrees. In 1973, he visited Ireland with my father who had just finished four years in the Peace Corps in Ethiopia, and would later travel the world on a diplomatic passport. My grandfather was able to stand on the dirt floor of the one room home his mother had grown up in.

Forty years later, my father, mother, younger sister, Mike (our dedicated chauffeur) and I picked our away through the long, wet grass in Keel Cemetery looking for the spot where my great, great grandfather, John, was buried in 1912. While we can’t be entirely sure, we located a non-descript stone overlooking Finan’s Bay we believe marked his passing. We also visited the site of the hedge school where he secretly taught Catholic children when penal laws made it illegal.

It was meant to be a mini family reunion, a road trip across Ireland but it turned into a pilgrimage of sorts. We retraced their steps. We talked to distant relatives who quickly became close friends. We tried to imagine what life must’ve been like. We drank a lot of hot whiskey. As stories of hardship, sacrifice, courage, tragedy and triumph emerged, they became more real. We were grateful.

From illegally teaching kids to read behind a hedge to a life where nothing seems out of reach, how do you begin to say thank you to family members you’ll never meet but whose fortitude made opportunity possible? Perhaps one way is by keeping their memory alive and passing them on. My dad is having a headstone erected to mark the brave life of John Sugrue. As George Eliot said, “The dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.” Here’s to remembering.

5 Comments on “Searching for Ghosts in Ireland

  1. Really interesting family history! And how amazing that you got to go visit where your great great grandfather lived and worked.

  2. Amazing entry, that is truly unbelievable that you were able to have such a tangible experience when tracing family history. Part of my family came from Ireland as well in the 1860’s and their history is somewhat lost to our family. Very awesome experience for all of you

Jan Lokpal Bill movement

Please read and forward to all Indians we must know to whom we are supporting.
10 things to know about.!

1. Who is Anna Hazare?
An ex-army man. Fought 1965 Indo-Pak War

2. What’s so special about him?
He built a village Ralegaon Siddhi in Ahamad Nagar district, Maharashtra

3. So what?
This village is a self-sustained model village. Energy is produced in the village itself from solar power, bio fuel and wind mills.
In 1975, it used to be a poverty clad village. Now it is one of the richest village in India . It has become a model for self-sustained, eco-friendly & harmonic village.

4. Ok,…?
This guy, Anna Hazare was awarded Padma Bhushan and is a known figure for his social activities.

5. Really, what is he fighting for?
He is supporting a cause, the amendment of a law to curb corruption in India .

6. How that can be possible?
He is advocating for a Bil, The Jan Lokpal Bill (The Citizen Ombudsman Bill), that will form an autonomous authority who will make politicians (ministers), beurocrats (IAS/IPS) accountable for their deeds.

7. It’s an entirely new thing right..?
In 1972, the bill was proposed by then Law minister Mr. Shanti Bhushan. Since then it has been neglected by the politicians and some are trying to change the bill to suit their theft (corruption).

8. Oh.. He is going on a hunger strike for that whole thing of passing a Bill ! How can that be possible in such a short span of time?
The first thing he is asking for is: the government should come forward and announce that the bill is going to be passed.
Next, they make a joint committee to DRAFT the JAN LOKPAL BILL. 50% government participation and 50% public participation. Because you cant trust the government entirely for making such a bill which does not suit them.

9. Fine, What will happen when this bill is passed?
A LokPal will be appointed at the centre. He will have an autonomous charge, say like the Election Commission of India . In each and every state, Lokayukta will be appointed. The job is to bring all alleged party to trial in case of corruptions within 1 year. Within 2 years, the guilty will be punished. Not like, Bofors scam or Bhopal Gas Tragedy case, that has been going for last 25 years without any result.

10. Is he alone? Who else is there in the fight with Anna Hazare?
Baba Ramdev, Ex. IPS Kiran Bedi, Social Activist Swami Agnivesh, RTI activist Arvind Kejriwal and many more.
Prominent personalities like Aamir Khan is supporting his cause.

11. Ok, got it. What can I do?
At least we can spread the message. How?
Putting status message, links, video, changing profile pics.
At least we can support Anna Hazare and the cause for uprooting corruption from India .
At least we can hope that his Hunger Strike does not go in vain.
At least we can pray for his good health.
Thanks for reading.

Please Spread This message As Much As You Can ‘n Tell Others To Do The Same.. !

Those who missed the bus at Lord’s

The honours board at Lord’s are well known-anyone who scores a century or takes a fiver or a tenner gets his name on them, even if it is a neutral Test not involving England. If you need to brush up, see

and for Indian players featured there, full details are here:

However, note this extract from the Wikipedia article:

“A number of very distinguished players such as Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, Shane Warne, Curtly Ambrose and Brian Lara are not named on the honours boards.”

It may be recalled that there was much heartbreak when Sachin failed to score a century in 2011, which was generally understood then to be his last Test there.

We now look at the aspect of prominent players failing to reach a board-worthy performance at Lord’s despite several opporunities. There are some visitors who simply did not get to play at Lord’s enough.

In this list we look at those who batted (at nos 1 to 8) in at least 8 innings at Lord’s and failed to score a century there (though there are some 90s headed by Atherton with 99)

Atherton has played the most Tests and innings besides scoring the most runs in this table. Among visiting batsmen, the most innings were played by Gavaskar (9) and Tendulkar (8). Both played in 5 Tests there. No other Indian makes the cut.

Prominent batsmen here include Atherton, Thorpe and Gatting at the top besides Gavaskar, Tendulkar, Dr Grace and Ponting. Some, like Ramprakash, Brearley and Ponting, did not even manage a fifty. Some like Lara did not play enough at Lord’s.

We now look at those who bowled (at positions 1 to 4) for at least 8 innings and failed to take a fiver:

Hoggard heads the list here with 20 innings, far ahead of 13 by the next-placed Edmonds. Hammond, admittedly not a frontline bowler, did not even manage a three-wicket haul. The only visitor here is Lillee.

Warne and Ambrose do not seem to have played enough there.

Finally we look at those who bowled (at 1-4) for at least 10 innings and failed to take a tenner.

Only English players appear here. Anderson heads the list with 37 innings, far ahead of Hoggard with 20 and Snow with 19. Some, headed by Hendrick, did not even get to 5 wickets in a match while several including Swann and “Dylan” Willis had near-misses with 9-fors.

Is blockchain safe?

A blockchain is a digitalised ledger which is shared with a network of computers using advanced cryptography. Transaction records cannot be faked, counterfeited or double spent as networks of computers are keeping track of any movements of data simultaneously. Blockchain technology also uses tokenisation which ensures that information within each transaction cannot be hacked. Data and records are thus securely stored in a blockchain. For example if a server is down or data has been corrupted, the backup data is instantly available.

Want to know more about blockchain? Please visit : Understanding blockchain

To use ABS and blockchain, can I use other digit assets aside from bitcoin?

Currently under the ABS Blockchain Services, you can create a customised or randomly named digital asset to your personal blockchain. You can link this digital asset with other digital currencies or fiat currencies in your ABS console under “TRADING PAIRS”.

For a demonstration, please visit our tutorial page : DIY exchange platform – Pairing option

I’m worried about security. How does ABS protect my assets and security?

ABS uses blockchain technology where data is being kept in a digital ledger of transactions which can be shared with other networks of computers by using advances cryptography. Each transaction is under a logic of tokenisation, and only the sending and receiving parties can view the full details of data.

Also, ANX partners with the world’s leading DDOS Protection Service and Hosting Providers to minimise impact from DDOS attacks, as well as applying the most advanced firewall and intrusion alert applications to prevent and detect unauthorised activities.

What is QR code and how to use it?

A QR code is a 2 dimensional barcode that is square shaped and can contain more information than traditional 1 dimensional striped barcode.

QR codes can be scanned on most mobile devices using a QR code scanner. Once the code is scanned and read, it will provide the information embedded within the code such as URLs, contact details, digital wallet addresses etc.

How can I know that my token has been safely sent to the recipient using ANX

ABS will scan the QR code provided by your recipient which will the unique . The transaction code contains the transaction records that ceded using BEE that the has security.

If all the transaction data is shared within network of computers, does that mean other people have access and can view the full transaction details?

As blockchain use tokenisation encryption for all data transactions, the full transaction details can only be able to read by the sender or recipient. Anyone else can only view limited information related to the transaction such as when the transaction took place, the digital asset size, or location of transaction took place.

How can I buy digital assets on ANX Blockchain Services? And how can I convert the digital assets back to my local or desired currency?

ANX Blockchain Services links digital assets with fiat and digital currencies. Using ABS, users can deposit fiat currencies to purchase digital assets, transfer digital assets to recipients, sell digital assets and convert back to flat currencies, and also withdraw fiat currencies to deposit back to their bank account.

For more information on how to deposit, send, receive or withdraw on ABS, please visit our tutorial at : Digital wallet

How can I use ANX Blockchain Services for my business? I’m an E-commerce business across different regions.

ANX Blockchain Services provides Application Program Interface (API) for clients to apply our services into their application backend. The API feature can be enabled within the ABS Console and client will then be able to interact their application with ABS to input and output data for different functionality usage.

What security measures are there to ensure that my exchange is safe?

ANX Blockchain Services supports various security measures such as two-factor security setting, SMS (mobile device) password messaging and YubiKey’s two-factor authentication. By default, users will be notified of each successful login via e-mail and each transfer will need final confirmation via e-mail approval. Users will also be notified of any movements of digital assets via e-mail. Sound like a lot of email and authentication?

The Karavanke Mountains – Majestic Mt. Begunščica

At 2060m, Begunščica is amongst the highest mountains in the Karavanke range, and a favourite destination among locals and those looking for a moderately challenging and very scenic hike.

The approximately 120-kilometre-long Karavanke mountain range forms a natural border between Slovenia, to the south, and Austria, to the north. Thus, in late-spring it’s not uncommon for there to be snow on the northern facing slopes of the Karavanke, whilst it’s green on the sunny Slovenian side!

Green and sunny to the south, snowy to the north!

There are several ways to reach the summit; the most popular among them is to start from the Draga Valley in Begunje na Gorenjskem. If coming from Radovljica, drive through the village and continue in the direction of Tržič, then on the left you will see the road towards the valley. The valley is a popular starting point for hikes in the Karavanke range. The routes are well-marked and signposts show approximate walking times.

I recommend taking time to stop in the village of Begunje na Gorenjskem to have a stroll around the park, and also at the entrance to the Draga Valley to see the ruins of Kamen Castle.

Continue to the end of the valley to the parking area and from there you set off on foot. You can choose to either go via Preval on the first part of the Shepherd’s Trail, which is the more direct, short, but steeper route, or hike first up to the Roblekov dom mountain hut (1657m), where you can stop for refreshments either on the way up or down – or of course both ways! You can find more information about the Shepherd’s Trail here –

Looking down on the Preval mountain hut on the path up towards Begunščica

If you choose the route to Preval, it takes a good hour from the valley to reach the Koča na Prevalu mountain hut, again an optional break for refreshments here – then prepare yourself for the very steep path directly up to the summit. Here you leave the Shepherd’s Trail and take the marked path to Begunščica which, at times, can feel like an almost vertical ascent. However, apart from one small rocky section, it isn’t overly exposed and is manageable for competent and experienced hikers.

As you approach the summit you can’t fail to notice the ‘carpet’ of sheep droppings from the sheep that are taken to graze on the slopes of Begunščica during summer! I always wonder how on earth so few sheep manage to produce so many droppings! At the summit there is an orientation table which provides assistance when you are gobsmacked by the stunning views and don’t know where to look first!

Personally I prefer to do the hike in the direction as I have described it: Draga – Preval – Begunščica – Roblek – Draga, as the descent from the summit to Roblek is easier and more ‘knee-friendly’ than the steep path from the summit down to Preval. I also like doing it this way as it makes it an entirely circular route.

The path from the summit down towards the Roblekov dom hut

Whilst there is no hut at the summit, there’s no shortage of huts to visit; in addition to the aforementioned Koča na Prevalu and Roblekov dom huts, there is also the Tomčeva koča hut (1180m) on the Poljška Planina highland and the hut on the Planina Planinca highland (1136m), both of which are found at approximately the halfway point between the Draga Valley and the Roblekov dom hut.

Active and Historic Loka: The Škofja Loka Cycle Route

I’m really enjoying getting to better know the Škofja Loka area this year. So far I’ve done most of my discovering on foot, so this time I set off by bike to discover part of the Škofja Loka Cycle Route. The route is divided into 13 sections and covers a total area of 390km. There is something to suit all levels and kinds of cyclist; some of the routes are shorter and easier, others longer and more demanding.

You can rest assured that whichever route you take, you will cycle through unspoilt nature, past numerous sights of interest, soak up the great views, enjoy fresh, clean air, and take a breather for refreshments at tourist farms and other refreshment stops. The hardest part is deciding which of the great routes to take! A ride through the historic old town centre is the obvious place to start, and a must!

Luckily I didn’t have to make the tough choice about where to go as I had a fab guide – Matej Hartman – who runs mountain bike tours in Slovenia as well as abroad. I really recommend hiring a guide, particularly when cycling in an area you are not so familiar with. Instead of having to faff about with maps and lose precious time, riding with Matej I was able to focus on enjoying the ride whilst taking in the views and listening to his wealth of insider knowledge about the area. Oh and the fact that he also happens to be a dab hand with a camera was an added bonus. Thanks Matej! You can find out more about Matej and his mountain bikes tours on the website here –

If you plan to cycle multiple sections of the route, your first port of call should be the Škofja Loka Tourist Information Centre, where you can pick up a map and a card on which you can collect stamps at the various control points along the route. Bikes can also be hired at the centre, trekking or mountain bikes, and decent ones too – mine was a Scott!

With only a few hours available for our trip, we agreed on taking some of the routes around the outskirts of the town, through Puštal, across the Sorica fields and to Crngrob. One of the highlights was seeing Škofja Loka Castle from an entirely different perspective – from Hribec, part of the Path to Puštal. Stunning, I’m sure you’ll agree!

We crossed fields, meadows and pastures, and Matej led me to hidden beauty spots in the cool of the forest.

We crossed numerous bridges over the crystal clear Sora river.

And visited Crngrob, home to the Church of the Annunciation, which is known for its treasured frescoes. The pilgrimage church has a fresco of Saint Christopher with Jesus on his shoulder on the front façade, whilst in the shelter of the neo-gothic porch on the facade, the fresco of Holy Sunday can be seen. This originates from the middle of the 15th century and shows tasks which were at the time prohibited on Sundays.

More information about the Škofja Loka Cycle Route can be found on the Visit Škofja Loka website here –

If you, like me, like running, then the Four Bridges Night Run, is for you! It is one of the most popular running events in Slovenia and takes place this year on 17th June. As the name suggests, the 10km route crosses four bridges and runs through the historic old town and around the picturesque town of Škofja Loka and over the Sora river. The main event begins at 9pm with children’s runs taking place earlier and even a pasta party the night before the race! More information about the route and race registration can be found here –

Another ‘Don’t miss’ event, and one that I won’t be missing is the Škofja Loka Historial (Festival of History), which this year will take place on Saturday 23rd June. There is a jam-packed programme of events with something for all the family. The full programme can be found here –

Just one more reminder of my trip to round off this scenic cycling blog!

The Pri Andrejevih Tourist Farm: Fab Food, Family and Fortifications!

Staying at a tourist farm offers a unique experience in every sense. Each of them are different – some of them are working farms with vast with acres of land, others small, simple but homely. Whatever the size and the facilities on offer, you can be sure of a friendly welcome at family-run tourist farms with copious helpings of home-made and home-produced food.

There are over 800 tourist farms in Slovenia spread through the country, so deciding where to stay can be a minefield.

I’ve visited quite a few in my 10 years of living here and, of those that I’ve visited so far, Pri Andrejevih in the village of Narin, stands out.

The village of Narin is situated midway between Pivka and Ilirska Bistrica and is ideally located for exploring all the area has to offer. In this previous blog, you can read much more about what to do and see in Pivka including the Park of Military History, which is well worth a visit –

The family-run Pri Andrejevih farm comprises a working farm, where organic farming is practiced, simple, well-appointed rooms in the upper part of the house, an outdoor swimming pool, and great Slovene home-cooked food, which is available for guests or, upon prior arrangement, also for day visitors.

Immediately upon arrival, I couldn’t help but notice the imposing church on a hill directly above the farm, and I couldn’t wait to set off to explore it!

The church is located in the small settlement of Šilentabor, which, though there is nothing left today to suggest so, was once the largest fortification complex in Slovenia. You can reach the settlement on an easy path which is part of the Circular Trail of Military History which runs almost past the door of the Pri Andrejevih farm.

From the farm you cross the railway line – observing the stop sign, of course!

Then, just keep following the green signs! Here the path leads up to Šilentabor, or you can continue on the circular path.

You pass the family’s pastures where their horses graze.

Once there the views over the entire Green Karst area are breathtaking, so much so you may need to take a lie down!

From the viewpoint continue past the bear (!) onwards towards the church. Shortly before reaching the church the return route to Narin leads down to the left, but it’s worth making the extra few minutes detour to St. Martin’s church.

It takes about 1.5 hours for the route from Narin to Šilentabor and back, or, for the entire 11.3km circular path allow 3-4 hours.

Of course, by now, hunger had set in and it was time for a delicious dinner, which I had been looking forward to ever since my previous visit to Pri Andrejevih, as they cook and serve the most natural and delicious food – simplicity at its best.

They also produce and sell their own honey, vinegar, juices and fruit liqueurs.

When not out walking and exploring, there’s a chance to relax in the farm’s outdoor swimming pool and to ‘get to know’ the family pets.

Then watch the sun setting from the terrace. A perfect end to a perfect day!

After a good night’s rest and more farm products at breakfast, I set off on another day of exploration of the Green Karst, about which you can read here –

Police officers wearing hijabs? What’s next? Burkas for police dogs?

The word “uniform” has one meaning, and one meaning only. Does this require spelling out?

Seems Edmonton Police Service would do well checking out a dictionary or some basic thesaurus, available in any public library.

Apparently, in the name of cultural tolerance, it’s now looking at how to introduce hijab as an option to police uniform.

One wishes to have their issues. And Rothschild’s money, too.

So, here are the facts: those who say it’s all about cultural tolerance (multiculturalism, that is) are lying through their teeth beyond belief.

What we are talking about is a religious symbol. Indeed, religion is a matter of culture and tradition, but that doesn’t change the basics: hijab (and other such headgear) symbolizes a woman’s position in society as dictated by a religion.

A mild reminder: that religion was written by males, and that female position just happens to be subservient to male position.

The tragic thing is that more often than not, the crowd that vigorously supports multiculturalism happens to be the same crowd that fights (with similar vigour) for equality of sexes. Not realizing that you can’t have it all.

There should be one simple rule: if you are an officer of the law, you must keep your religion at home. In fact, that rule should extend to all public servants. The same holds true for crosses, stars of David, hijabs, turbans, Sikh knives and whatnot. None of it should be allowed as part of a police officer’s uniform. And neither has any of it any place in a government office, at any level. Period.

That Edmonton Police Service even has an Equity, Diversity and Human Rights Unit speaks volumes about its misguided approach. We have laws on the books that quite specifically say that we are all equal. To be organizing such hugely superfluous departments is an exercise in attempting to create more jobs, to put it very mildly. And never mind such minor diversions as that those who occupy those jobs keep using so-called static figures, not real-life statistics (numbers, that is, that are dynamic, meaning they change as life changes). The idea is to justify their existence. Using this kind of propaganda babble is an insult to the meanest intelligence.

An Equity, Diversity and Human Rights Unit representative, Natasha Goudar, is on the record as saying her group has been working with Muslim communities, including Imams, about what she termed were cultural implications and requirements.

An aside: define Imam, will you? A community leader, generally, and a religious authority, more specifically.

“One of the big concerns for them was an educational element to the introduction of the hijab. They didn’t want to just bring it in and have it sit on a shelf,” Goudar said.

Canada is a land of compromise, so, this is how it would look: the head scarf would be black in colour, and sit underneath the standard-issue Edmonton police hat.

It’s the same nonsense as allowing RCMP officers to wear turbans, as the federal government did in 1990.

It seems that Quebec is indeed a distinct society, judging at least by its proposed Quebec Charter of Values. It would forbid Quebec’s public employees from wearing visible religious symbols – including hijabs, turbans, yarmulkes and larger-than-average crucifixes.

In this case, three cheers for Quebec and its distinctiveness.

We’ve stepped on a slippery slope here. So slippery, that an Edmonton Catholic Schools Board’s brochure features as one of its illustrations a girl wearing a hijab. Asked what that is supposed to mean, a board spokesthingie said this was to demonstrate the all-inclusive character of schools in its jurisdiction. Considering one of Islam’s publicly stated goals is to do away with Christianity (that happens to include Catholicism) and with Christians, this all-inclusiveness seems to be going one way only.

While not calling for Crusades or anything even similar to them, the basic rule of new citizenship should make a comeback, and fast. The rule is straightforward enough: you came to Canada, and it was your voluntary choice. Nobody forced you to come here, and nobody’s forcing you to stay.

Canada has been built on certain principles. Call them cultural, traditional, religious, whatever combination thereof, but here they are spelt out: they are Judeo-Christian (whatever THAT is supposed to mean).

If you want respect, you have to give respect, first. By trying to impose your preferences upon something that you had elected to join in the first place, you’re doing no such thing.

You want to practice your religion? By all means. But do not try to force it upon others.

Your young women can’t join a police force because they feel wearing hijab is a major responsibility? Fine: you simply can’t have it all. If your women still believe that hijab symbolizes something, and if they do not care that they are giving up their rights, that would be their problem.

Yes, some of them would have preferred to drop the hijab and live as they please. Alas, their own men (fathers, husbands, brothers, the lot) threaten their lives for such transgressions. Speaking of which: and when somebody mentions this strange state of affairs in advertisements on Edmonton’s city buses, a councillor sees fit to impose crude censorship on such ads and have them pulled.

Multiculturalism denies the truth that we’re all different in the name of equal rights for everybody.

We’re not all equal. And no, all cultures are NOT equal, either. Female circumcision, anybody? Honour killing, perhaps?

Edmonton Police Service should, first and foremost, rid itself of its Equity, Diversity and Human Rights Unit and spend the money thus saved on better policing.

And those who are cheering this of kind of multicultural nonsense on, should go straight back to school and learn the meaning of the word: uniform.

Since 1991, RayKo Photo Center has provided traditional darkroom rentals and educational resources for photographers. In 2002, construction began in an industrial building at 428 Third Street, and the third incarnation of RayKo was opened in the fall of 2004. Housed in a spacious 12,000 square foot building, RayKo is the largest public photographic community center west of the Mississippi.

Our commitment to traditional photographic arts remains intact with B&W and color darkrooms available for rent. The facility also houses a rental studio, state-of-the-art digital lab, and gallery that features work by emerging and established photographers. Our expansive resources include affordable high-end digital services and Wet Plate Collodion photography. The diverse educational programs include year-round workshops in historic and contemporary processes, on and off-site tutoring, and a youth education program for schools, libraries, and summer camp. Because of our dedication to traditional and digital processes, RayKo provides an invaluable educational resource for numerous regional and national non-profit groups and schools.

RayKo’s goal is to provide a brick and mortar space where photographers have affordable access to a pro lab environment, and to foster artistic and professional development. We serve the full spectrum of photographers, whether it’s a beginner just discovering the magic inherent in photography, to the seasoned pro seeking to produce work or expand their knowledge of this ever-changing field. Our commitment to the photographic community is to celebrate a broad range of photographic techniques and make them accessible to everyone through rentals, services, and workshops.

RayKo’s galleries are dedicated to advancing the appreciation of photography and creating opportunities for artists to display and sell their work.

The main gallery presents 8-10 exhibitions each year, from solo shows to thematic group exhibits, from local to international artists.  In addition to hosting exhibits created by other venues, RayKo’s gallery director curates exhibitions from artists’ proposals and calls for entry. The side gallery showcases work that is available for purchase in our Photographer’s Marketplace or images that have been crafted at RayKo by our customers and Artists-in-Residence.  The main gallery alone offers over 1600 square feet of exhibition space.

Is your life chaotic or orderly?

Chaos or Order, which rules your life? Chaos time is non-linear, non-ordered, non-sequential, unpredictable and multi-tasking. Order time is logical, linear, programmable, predictable and sequential. Some say time exists to bring order out of chaos. Our general view of chaos is that it leads to problems. Complex Adaptive Theory (Chaos Theory) subscribes to the viewpoint that the world is nominally chaotic and that only by understanding that the world is in a state of constant disequilibrium can we fully appreciate it. Here is one definition of Chaos Theory:

Chaos theory, in mathematics and physics, deals with the behavior of certain nonlinear dynamical systems that (under certain conditions) exhibit the phenomenon known as chaos, most famously characterized by sensitivity to initial conditions (see butterfly effect). Examples of such systems include the atmosphere, the solar system, plate tectonics, turbulent fluids, economies, and population growth.

The implications of Chaos Theory have had profound effects on the way scientists and even lay people now view the world. We realize that our planning methods, our prediction methods and out strategies are subject to a great deal more unpredictability and serendipity then we once believed. This does not mean that we cannot or should not plan, but it implies that the degree of accuracy of our planning is subject to many outside and uncontrollable forces. Some even believe that planning is a waste of time. I disagree. If anything, I am more likely to plan but I build in more contingencies. I do agree that it is naïve to forecast without considering the concept of “sensitivity to initial conditions” or the idea of “wild cards.” Both of these concepts imply that there are many factors which might alter our plans and over which we have no control. Nevertheless, I have had over 1000 plane trips during the last twenty two years and in every case except one, I have arrived on-time at the place I wanted to go. Either I am very lucky or the world can be ordered. Maybe we can’t order everything and maybe it is foolish to try but many events, programs and activities happen every day based on “order time.”

What is your view of time? Is your time Chaotic or Ordered? Do you plan based on Chaos time or Order time? How effective has your planning been? How do you think your planning could be more effective? Would thinking about Chaos time help your planning?

Best Air Purifier for Asthma

Posted on

The Best Choice For Asthma, Allergies And Mold Allergy Induced Asthma

There are dozens of different air purifiers on the market claiming to be best for allergy and asthma control. Most of them are of very low quality made in China out of unsealed plastic cases that often leak allergens and out-gas reactive chemicals into your indoor air quality for your family or co workers to breathe. Some use electrostatic collector plates to trap dust and allergens, some use ozone ionizers to drop the dust and allergens out of the air and others use polyester filter pads or HEPA filters that are not sealed properly in the case that they are installed in.

It’s amazing that there is not a law or Federal standard to protect the public and regulate how air purifiers are manufactured to prevent low quality manufacturing designs with shabby workmanship for people with allergies, allergy induced asthma, mold induced asthma and general asthma.

There are a handful of high quality HEPA air purifier brands on the market for smoke, dust, allergy and asthma control. These brands include the TRACS HEPA air purifiers, EZ Air, Austin Air Healtmate, AllerAir and the D-2100 HEPA air purifier. All of these units have a very high air exchange rate per hour in bedroom sized rooms and open areas up to 1000 square feet. They all include plenty of activated carbon to remove odors and out-gassing chemical from the indoor air environment and high quality HEPA filters.

Here Is Your Best HEPA Air Purifier Choice For Asthma

The TRACS HEPA air purifier is without question the best HEPA air purifier on the market for people with asthma, allergies and mold allergy induced asthma! This air purifier does it all!

Through the years we have tested dozens and dozens of air purifiers for quality, cleaning ability and performance. We feel that the TRACS HEPA air purifier with non-ozone ultraviolet (UV) light system to be the highest quality HEPA air purifier on the market for both asthma and general allergies because it is also able to quickly kill and control mold spores, bacteria and viruses.

The TRACS is 100 percent Made In The USA and it’s steel non out-gassing case and HEPA filter is sealed like a drum. The size of the TRACS is15x15 inches square by 21 inches high. The TRACS and its top quality certified HEPA filter will pass a zero laser particle counter test at 99.99 percent efficiency down to .3 microns in size. Nothing but 100 percent clean air will flood into the operating areas of this fine HEPA air purifier.

The HEPA filter in the TRACS unit will last 5-6 years before it will need to be replaced, The 3 ½ pound carbon/zeolite pre-filters that remove out gassing chemicals and odors from your indoor air should be replaced once every 4 months and it’s two bacteria, virus and mold spore killing ultraviolet (UV) lamps should be replaced once every 18 months. These replacement parts are very inexpensive and easy to install. The TRACS HEPA air purifier has 4 speeds and it is extremely quiet.

NOTE: The design of the TRACS ultraviolet (UV) light system has a USA Patent where the UV lamps are aimed onto the intake side of the HEPA filter allowing it to kill potent viruses, bacteria and mold spores before they can penetrate into its 100 percent sealed HEPA filter.

It is our hope and desire that this report is a big help for our readers and for anyone with asthma, allergies and mold allergy induced asthma.

No Bake Vegan Peanut Butter Cups + Homemade Salsa

Daily Sweat: NTC yoga + yoga with my students, + 4 Miles with Marie

Time to get out your food processor or Vitamix if you are lucky enough to have one and make some yummy foods! Today I have two recipes for you: a dessert and some yummy salsa. I know, kind of a random mix:).

No Bake Vegan Peanut Butter Cups

Peanut butter + chocolate is the greatest combo ever! Reese’s cups are probably the only thing I have really been craving since the new diet so when I found a vegan peanut butter cup recipe I jumped on it. I found this recipe from one of my new favorite blogs, Gluten-Free-Vegan-Girl. If you want to check it out head over to her blog for all the recipe details.

After waiting for it to freeze overnight, I tested it out today. Yummy! I shared it with my other no dairy/no refined sugar friends and they all approved. Yay! I will be making this more often.

Homemade Salsa

This is my favorite salsa and make it at least a few times every week. Grab a big bag of chips and enjoy!

Homemade Salsa.jpg

This recipe is adapted from Six Sisters Stuff’s Chili’s Copycat Salsa Recipe

What you need:

  • 1 can (14.5 oz each) whole tomatoes (no added salt), drained and save liquid
  • 1-2 jalapeños, I also remove the seeds because Kyle does not like it super spicy
  • 1 yellow onion, quartered (I always start with a small amount and add more as needed)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 tablespoon of Agave
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
Put all of the ingredients in the food processor and blend it until it is the desired consistency. Add tomato juice and onion as desired.

Creating a Kindle Book using Microsoft Word (Quick Note)

Amazon provides a tool called “kindlegen” for creating a Kindle book from a Microsoft Word document. There is also a previewer so you can test your book before publishing. In a nutshell, you keep your Word styles relatively simple, save as “Web Page, Filtered” (this strips out more of the Microsoft specific markup), and run kindlegen […]

Taking Chances with Time

As the buzzing sound started, I knew I was in for an interesting and life changing experience. There I lay on the chair with my outstretched wrist waiting for the blood to rise and for the for searing to begin. As I looked at my marksman one more time, he spoke softly,
“Are you ready?”
“Yes,” I responded.
And so, the transformation began.

Time changes things and it changes people. Time is an interesting invention because we can never have enough of it, but yet sometimes we want it to go by faster. Time is a double-edged sword.

I was never the rebel child while I was growing up, or for much of my college years for that matter. However, when the clock struck midnight to ring in 2011, I didn’t think getting a tattoo would be one of the many new things I did in the year.

It was simple really; a symbol meaning three things: peace, love and music. I drew it in a sketch book I bought for my drawing class. I started making the treble clef; and I made the peace sign in the bottom swirl. I then added the bass clef to the upper section of the treble clef to form the heart. Everything in my life was about music: the singing, the dancing, the piano playing; all of it surrounded by the love I felt and the peace that these two clefs could bring to me. For all music is written on a staff, and each staff has a clef.

A permanent reminder of that passion now resides on the inside of my left wrist. A reminder that music frees the soul, and a little body marking can be risky. But half the fun is taking the risk and having the fun. I knew it would be controversial, but I didn’t care; my body is mine and few people feel they have complete control of their bodies. I know that I do.

The next thing I did was even more complicated than getting a tattoo. A tattoo takes planning and it takes nerve. A tattoo is something you have to live with yourself for getting; it only effects you.

Falling in love is something else entirely.

At first I thought I was smart; he walked into the bar with a certain way about him. He was quiet at first until I served him a few drinks. Then he started to talk a little more. Meanwhile I was thinking one thing:

“Don’t be stupid. You don’t have time for this.”

I knew he was interested but I wasn’t entirely sure if I was. I had just liked someone for a very long time with no avail, even though said person led me on for quite awhile. I was bitter because unrequited love never gives you closure; unrequited love is a pain in many ways, mainly mentally.

But nonetheless I decided to dance that night and he came out to dance with me. And I thought maybe, just maybe, I could see how it played out.

At the end of the night, I gave him my phone number on a bar napkin.

I didn’t know what to expect at that point. I liked his smile and I liked his eyes. He was tall and wasn’t like other guys I had met. He just seemed different. I figured I had nothing to lose because I gave him my number, so that meant the ball was in his court.

And about a half hour after I gave him that napkin, he threw the ball into play.

“Where have you been all my life.”

It was a simple text, but packed a lot of power. And I found I liked it when he texted me.

Almost six months later, I find myself still getting butterflies when he texts me. I also get them when he holds my hand and gives me a kiss.

Love. I never really could explain it before and I certainly can’t do it now. All I know is it feels right; like I’m more of myself because he’s here, I’m more able to take chances because he takes them with me, I’m growing instead of staying stationary. My heart still leaps into my stomach when I see his car pull in front of my house. I still smile when he gives me kisses. My heart aches when he has to go 227 miles away for work because he’s not holding me at night. If that’s not love, then I don’t know what love could be.

Love makes you take chances. Love makes you take risks. Love makes time seem so endless and yet, when your relationship is long-distant, love makes time precious.

Love made me try one more new thing.

I knew I loved him and it didn’t take me long to figure it out. I trusted him with my life, my heart and my soul. I felt safe with him entirely, which I hadn’t felt before. I decided to let go of something I had been holding on to since I had been born, something most people my age hadn’t held on to.

I decided it was time to give my virginity to someone that I knew wouldn’t take it for granted.

And I haven’t looked back one single day and regretted that decision.

It wasn’t entirely planned, but when is that ever truly planned? I had been juggling the idea in my head for some time-“Is it too soon? Will it ruin everything? Will I be terrible? What if he leaves?”

Then I realized how much of my life was based on the scenario of “what if?”

There were no guarantees in this decision. I knew physically it would be painful and I knew emotionally it would change some things. However, I trusted my gut and I decided that if and when it happened I would be okay with it. And when it happened, I was okay with it. In fact, I was more than okay; I felt empowered, I felt loved and I felt everything at once.

I felt like a better version of myself. I felt like all the waiting had paid off because it was special. I felt like I was emotionally mature enough. I thought about all the teen girls before and after me that lost their virginity or will lose their virginity at a young age. I felt sorry because I don’t think they are emotionally equipped to handle it, and if they didn’t feel what I felt that night, then they are missing out on a great gift. I felt thankful that I picked the right guy to share that gift with.

To this day, I am still thankful for that experience on a daily basis.

The year of 2011 is almost over. Time doesn’t wait for anyone. I know people frequently want more time; more time to do spend with love ones, more time to do mundane things. But what they forget is that time is a gift and it should be treated as such. Instead of wasting time, use as much of it as possible to live life and take chances, that way when the final day comes, you can say,

“I spent my time wisely. I didn’t ask for more because I didn’t need to.”

Lesson idea: Science

Whilst teaching Year 6 Science I wanted to get some extended writing out of them and decided that the digestive system was quite a good topic. I didn’t want them to just write a report about the digestive system or something dull like that so I decided a diary entry was a great idea. We did a few weeks about the digestive system and the whole process and then they had to decide which food they were and write a diary entry about being eaten, going through the digestive system all the way to becoming poo (one of the kids just giggled all the way through the lesson because I said poo!). I was nervous to see how it would come about, because it was quite out there and I had never done it before, but I have to say I think it was one of my favourite lessons of last year! The kids thoroughly enjoyed it and the work produced was of such a high standard too. They really had remembered and applied some amazing knowledge!

    Great lesson. I love teaching science. My favourite lesson was Cartesian divers in a 2 litre bottle with year 3. I just pressed my thumb on the back without them seeing and they couldn’t figure out how I was making them go up and down. I said it was mind control. I also enjoyed time-lapse recording melting ice cubes with salt on one and nothing on the other. Year 2 loved that.

10 Things to Cheer You Up About the Deprexit

  1. Other countries feel sorry for us

Quality T.V. shows like The X-Factor and Britain’s Got Talent show us that it’s the losers who are the real winners. There’s nothing more likely to win public affection and votes than a good old sob story. The rest of the world is going to absolutely love us now.

  1. We have mastered the power of time travel

Think of all those times you’ve been well jel of those lucky bastards in 1985, who got to experience the pound dropping by 10%. Well don’t worry, you haven’t missed the boat because WE’RE PRETTY MUCH BACK! You can now look back nostalgically on better times and tell your grandkids, ‘I was alive when you could buy a bunch of bananas for £1.’ Think how wise and experienced it’ll make you feel!

  1. House prices are going down! And so is everything else

Although according to the FT house prices have actually gone up this June, predictions are that we are going DOWN. Gotta love economic disasters sometimes! Some people have been so excited to vote Brexit – the idea of a cheapo house – well, a less expensive house… SORTED FOR LIFE, RIGHT? Only problem is, the value of everything else seems to be going down, too! If your house is pretty much your savings embodied then… good luck! At least everything is going in One Direction… Oh wait, they broke up too. But Harry Styles has just signed a solo contract. We are basically Harry Styles. Except we’re not. We’re Niall Horan.

  1. You can place a bet on who the next Tory leader will be

So you thought you didn’t like Cameron? This is just like that bit in Harry Potter, when you think Snape’s the bad guy, and then along comes Volders and you realise there are far worse monsters out there. I mean, we could end up being governed by a man named BJ (oh wait looks like he’s saving standing for later so he can come in and save the day after the next PM screws it up), a woman who already has plenty of practice in sending immigrants home for a living, or a pro capital punishment warmonger, Justice Secretary Michael Gove. The best part is if you bet correctly on the next Tory leader, you might just win back that 10% you are losing from each pound! Plus, did you know that the word ‘Tory’ is thought to have come from the Irish ‘toraidhe’, which was used to describe robbers? Who would’ve thought?

  1. BJ owes us 350 million quid

Well, technically I guess it’s worth more like 315 mil now but hey, what’s a 10% drop in the value of the pound? Well now it’s clear that all that money from the EU isn’t going to the NHS, we can speculate on what worthy causes this money might go towards. Hair dye? Let’s remember one of the big news stories pre-Brexit was the shocking news that ‘Boris Johnson admits he dyes his hair’. Bikes for everyone? Covering the costs of the referendum? Golden goodbye to Dave? Beer fund for Farage?  Lottery tickets? 350 million different things from Poundland? 35000 million penny sweets? Let’s face it; our NHS doesn’t really need any money anyway, now we’re getting rid of the immigrants. Think of all those trained doctors and nurses who can now take their jobs.

  1. We’re hanging on in there – we’ve not left yet!

So Article 50 has not yet been triggered! Article 50 is like that magic spell, that bit of hope left in Pandora’s box, that massive thing everyone’s talking about at the moment: ‘Any Member State may decide to withdraw from the Union in accordance with its own constitutional requirements’ (etc.)

Plus, this is our chance to now all become political Twitter poets, with trends like #WriteAPoemAboutBrexit:

We are down, so is the pound

But not yet legally bound

#Deprexit the tactics were shifty

Please don’t invoke Article 50

So whoever the next leader is needs to make that choice: Do I invoke Article 50 and go down in history as the person who potentially ruined the economy/UK? Or do I override the public vote and go down as that person who ignored so-called ‘democracy’? Either way, whoever the lucky PM is, they’re probably going to come out of it looking like a twat #GoodbyeBoris. I mean I don’t want him to die or anything, just to move to an island far, far away, where he no longer has any influence over anyone or anything… Oh wait, why does that sound familiar?

  1. Even then, we’ve got two years

Say Article 50 has been invoked, even then, we’ve got another two years until Britain actually leaves the EU, giving us plenty of time to emigrate to Europe (okay well maybe not Europe, that nice man from Brussels is already talking about banning all Brits) but at least to Canada/Australia/Mars.

  1. We fear the worst

It’s true, lots of us are in campaign mode at the moment, and that means we find our strongest remain arguments, imagine the worst-case scenario of leaving the EU, and passionately explain it to anyone who will listen. We don’t want to think about Brexit positively, because we don’t want to be mistaken for one of them. However, it probably won’t be as bad as we think… We can continue to keep our economy competitive by staying in the single market without being in the EU, and so continue to trade with other countries without restrictions or tariffs. This means we would still have immigration and be able to maintain diversity in the UK. According to Cameron, the EU want to maintain ‘closest links’ with the UK. In other words, we haven’t broken up with the EU entirely; we’ve just gone from being in a relationship to friends with benefits.

And even if it is as bad as we think… At least then more people will hopefully start to realise that scapegoating immigrants does not touch on the intrinsic problems in our government, and the need for overhaul will be clearer.

  1. Solidarity spreads and the bad brings out the best

What was that quote about how disaster can also bring out the best in people, restore faith in humanity, it’s how good people react to bad things that gives us hope? Something like that… Well the amount of people engaged in passionate political discussion is spreading and intensifying and it’s great… the amount of people realising their shared passions and loathings and the importance of including, welcoming and helping others. There’s even a new dating app being developed called ‘Remainder’ for – you guessed it – devastated people who voted remain and now want to make something beautiful happen in their lives.

  1. I believe that children are our future… and under 25s… okay and a few more great people

As much as I giggle, and then immediately feel guilty, when I read posts from people swearing they will push the next old person they see off their mobility scooter, I realise it is probably not fair to blame this all on the oldies. I mean there are lots of golden oldies out there who are just as devastated by the result, like my wonderful Grandma. However… Shout out to the 75% of young people who voted to remain! Yessssssss! Shout out to all the kids who have been comforting their crying classmates worrying they will be deported. Shout out to everyone who has shouted out, spread the word, of welcoming and valuing immigrants and embracing others without question or judgement.

Is this song about Kristen Stewart? Reminds me of Grimes, but only if Grimes had a little Janet Jackson in her.

December 2, 2014

Every year around thanksgiving I get a cold. Everyone has their own theory, but i’m pretty sure the one constant is every year i’m up late traveling the day before thanksgiving, up late thanksgiving, and then have to turn around and drive back home late. Naturally my immune system isn’t what it could be, but what are you gonna do? I really look forward to thanksgiving at my cousins. It’s probably top 3 holidays on my social calendar every year from now until forever.
