When it comes to dealing with the women we serve in women's ministry, there are 4 spirits to be aware of, and carefully deal with.
Detect and Defuse:
A Jonah spirit
An Absolam spirit
A Martha spirit
A Jezebel spirit
Welcome to Women's Ministry Wednesday!
If you are just now seeing this series, you can go here to the beginning.
Let's review the story of Jonah for which this attitude is named.
If you recall Jonah's story, you most likely learned it as a child—Jonah was chosen by God to go preach in Nineveh, a very sinful city. Jonah did not want to go because he preferred to see God's judgment come against it, so he took the first fish, I mean boat, that he saw. A storm came, and Jonah ended up in the belly of a fish (not a whale!). After 3 days, he was puked out. A now wiser Jonah, presented himself for preaching to the Ninevites shortly after.
(Is this not the most fascinating story? You just can't make this kind of stuff up!!!)
In response to Jonah's coerced obedience, all were saved (Hallelujah!!!). After completing his assignment, Jonah left Nineveh and found rest and refuge under a large plant that the Lord provided him. When the Lord caused the plant to die, Jonah became very upset. The Lord admonished Jonah for caring more for the plant than he did the people of Nineveh.
The spirit of Jonah is present when we care more about our personal preferences than God's agenda.
Can you relate?
I know I can. I've been Jonah.
I pretty much attended the same church all of my life until I was about 33 years old. Both of my mama's and daddy's families grew up there.
It was a small country church, and it had two large oak trees on the front lawn. The elderly men always stood under them and talked, while we kids would run around them and hide from one another after church. I loved those trees! By the time I was twenty-something, only one still remained.
One Saturday morning, I arrived early at the church to prepare the church bulletin for the next day's services. To my dismay, the remaining oak tree was gone, and I mean GONE. There was not even a stump left; I was in shock.
As I stomped through the church to the office, I huffed and puffed under my breath…Why didn't they at least discuss this in a church business meeting? Didn't they realize that some people may be upset over them cutting that tree down? Who made that decision?
All of a sudden, I felt the Holy Spirit say to me, "That's the spirit of Jonah!" I immediately knew what He meant. I was much more concerned about that tree that had been cut down than I was about friends and family who no longer attended church there or anywhere! Where were they? Why hadn't I missed them? Why hadn't I reached out to them? Why wasn't I as upset over them as I was the large oak?
This realization shamed me, and I no longer felt indignant about it. Come to find out, that the Wednesday night before (after I had left church), a huge limb from that tree had fell where kids were playing. Thankfully, no one was hurt. Our trustees who took care of church business had it looked at. The tree service highly recommended that it be removed for safety reasons, and my church complied.
Sometimes, we can't always know what led to a decision at church, and that is okay– especially when those things are not relative to kingdom-building. We as the body should spend our time focused on making disciples, and less on making trouble for those entrusted with making decisions. Amen?
So, what do you do when you run into this spirit in women's ministry? How do you deal with people who are more concerned about matters over missions?
- Be transparent. If possible and appropriate, explain what led up to certain decisions and changes.
- Be communicative. You can NEVER over communicate when dealing with a large group of people when changes are made.
- Be understanding. Use these moments to redirect your women back to missional living.
- Be proactive. Anticipate those who may become upset and give them so "couch time" to share the thoughts, feelings and frustrations.
- Be prayerful.
But the Lord said, "You 'pitied' the shrub, for which you didn't work and which you didn't raise; it grew in a night and perished in a night. Yet for my part, can't I pity Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than one hundred twenty thousand people who can't tell their right hand from their left, and also many animals?" Jonah 4:10-11
Spur on!

Publix shooting suspect held without bond in Seminole County Jail
Lilburtie Willis, 23, charged with attempted murder
The man accused of shooting and robbing a money carrier at an Altamonte Springs Publix is being held without bond.
Lilburtie Willis made his first court appearance Wednesday.
Lilburtie Willis allegedly shot a Loomis money carrier in the face and head. The victim is now stable.
Related: Shooting suspect's brother suspected of stealing getaway car
When the suspect got into the getaway car his hand could be seen in surveillance video making contact with the seat, according to investigators. According to arrest papers, a single fingerprint from that seat cushion belongs to Lilburtie Willis.
Lilburtie Willis is charged with robbery, aggravated battery and attempted felony murder.
Lilburtie Willis was in court Wednesday when the charges against him were read. The charges come after the midafternoon robbery and shooting at the Altamonte Springs Publix store, with the forensic evidence proving to be key for police developing their probable cause to arrest him.
Related: Search continues for getaway driver in Publix shooting
"The court finds good and probable cause on all these charges with matching fingerprints from the vehicle connected with the scene," the judge said in court Wednesday.
Investigators said they also found dark shoes and a white smartphone among Lilburtie Willis' possessions, similar to what the suspect is seen wearing and using in surveillance images moments before the shooting.
WESH 2 News asked Lilburtie Willis' lawyer about the allegations.
"Does he deny being the person who shot this delivery driver?" WESH 2 News asked.
"I haven't even talked with him about the facts," said public defender Jeff Dowdy.
The suspect's brother, LilKirk Willis, also appeared before the same judge Wednesday after being arrested on a probation violation. In court papers, investigators mention LilKirk Willis as a suspect in the theft of the Nissan Maxima getaway car two days before the shooting. Police will not say whether they suspect he was the getaway car driver and he has not been charged in connection with that case.
WESH 2 News asked police if Lilburtie Willis' older brother could have been the getaway driver. The Altamonte Springs Police Department issued the following statement:
"We have not ruled anyone out and we are looking at any possible involvement he may have had in the Publix shooting."
Shell casings and surveillance images helped police crack this case, officials said.
LilKirk Willis faces charges, but not in connection to the shooting at Publix.
LilKirk Willis was charged with violating his probation for a previous grand theft that occurred in Apopka, but police said they are looking into the role LilKirk Willis may have played in the Publix shooting.
Police said LilKirk Willis is the prime suspect in the theft of the getaway car used in the Publix shooting. That car, a gold Nissan Maxima, was stolen from a Kwik-Stop near the Altamonte Springs mall two days prior to the shooting. Police said surveillance video from the Kwik-Stop showed a man detectives believe to be LilKirk Willis hanging out at the store, just before the Maxima was stolen. The store owner said the man seen in the video seemed intent on avoiding the store's cameras.
Police have not yet connected LilKirk Willis to the Publix shooting, but they are investigating the possibility.

Merry Christmas from your friends at Smartphone Fanatics.
Beware of Oracle Trying to Junk Up Your Mac
I recall reading a few months ago that Oracle was going to begin "treating" Mac OS X users to adware during Java 8 installs and upgrades. I sort of dismissed it out of hand because I have been dodging scummy adware junk during software installs on Windows PCs for years.I dismissed it, that is, until I saw Oracle adware staring me in the face. Last night, as you can see from the image above, my Mac wanted to run an update to Java 8 Update 66. I almost never allow my software to auto update, so there was no way that I wasn't going to not see the Yahoo ad.I saw the screen, paused, uttered an "Oh, hell no!", unchecked the box and clicked the Next button. I was only able to do that because I've training by years of Windows use to watch was is getting installed on my PC. Now this junk has washed up on my Mac's shore.Don't get me wrong, I like hate Java nearly as much as I do Adobe's Flash Player. And, I do like the Yahoo! Weather app that I have on my iPhone and iPad. I do admire Marissa Mayer and what she is trying to do at Yahoo! – just not that much to use Yahoo's software on my Mac.So the day that Ed Bott foretold about Java adware back in March of this year for ZDNet has finally come to pass:
"With the latest release of Java for the Mac, Oracle has begun bundling the Ask adware with default installations as well, changing homepages in the process.
The unwelcome Ask extension shows up as part of the installer if a Mac user downloads Java 8 Update 40 for the Mac. In my tests on a Mac running that latest release of OS X, the installer added an app to the current browser, Chrome version 41. (In a separate test, I installed Java using the latest version of Safari, where it behaved in a similar fashion.)"Well, at least I made it 26 updates before I got hit with adware.

Approaching spring
As we near the middle of February, it's clear that spring is on its way. If you ignore the sometimes bitter cold and take a look around, you might see a few snowdrops (as I did this morning when I took a short cut through the Pavilion Gardens) or some daffodils trying their hardest to push through. After what was apparently the coldest December on record, it's nice to see some evidence of Mother Nature turning her wheel and bringing us all closer to the warmth once more. Continue reading

The Modern Gin Cocktail
Leo Engels, published his Bartender's Guide, American and Other Drinks, in 1878. It is a fascinating glimpse into early mixology at a time when bar drinks and cocktails were just beginning to evolve and spread through North America and Europe. At that time, the word 'cocktail' was reserved for a specific type of bar drink, which resembles what we call the Old-Fashioned cocktail today. Other styles of bar drinks had their own names, the Crusta, the Smash, and the Julep just to name a few.
Nowadays, these bar drinks are part of the entire class of mixed drinks called cocktails; but back then, they were each their own class of bar drink and the cocktail was class of mixed drink, separate and distinct. How the word 'cocktail' evolved to encompass all classes of bar drinks is unknown to me; but if you want to go back in time and build an original 'cocktail', Leo Engels', American and Other Drinks is a great starting place.
Here is a modern version of Leo Engels' recipe for the Gin Cocktail:
Modern Gin Cocktail
2 oz Berkeley Square Gin
1/8 oz Orange Curacao
Dash of Angostura Bitters
1/8 oz Sugar Syrup (1:1 Ratio)
Orange Peel
Fill the shaker 1/3 full of ice
Add all ingredients and shake well
Strain into a glass
Garnish with a strip of Orange Peel and Enjoy!

Speed of Light
Broken With Basic Lab Kit
Scientists have sent light signals at faster-than-light speeds over the
distances of a few meters for the last two decades — but only with the
aid of complicated, expensive equipment. Now physicists at Middle
Tennessee State University have transmitted electric signals at least four
times the speed of light over distances of nearly 120 meters, using
off-the-shelf equipment costing just $500. While the peak moves faster
than light speed, the total energy of the pulse does not. This means
Einstein's relativity is preserved. Signals also get weaker and more
distorted the faster they go, so in theory no useful information can get
transmitted at faster-than-light speeds.

Scientists Prove Atomic Memory Concept
University of Wisconsin scientists have proven that atomic-scale memory
is possible by using silicon atoms in place of the 1s and 0s of
traditional computing. While the researchers are quick to point out that a
practical application of the proof of concept is years away, their work is
a first step toward developing storage density a million times greater
than a CD-ROM. Silicon atoms
that store bits of information sit on a well-defined grid, similar to eggs
in a carton. If a silicon atom is on a grid point, it represents a 1. If
there is no atom on the point, it represents a 0. The team created the atomic
memory by evaporating gold onto a silicon wafer, resulting in a precise
track structure that could hold the silicon atoms.

SoC Architects Look To Programmability
Architects in communications, network processing and numerically
intensive applications are moving away from the traditional
system-on-chip, composed of CPU cores, DSP cores and specialized hardware
modules. Instead, they are moving toward software solutions, which is
forcing designers to respond in very creative ways. As MIPS Technologies
Inc. vice president of product strategy Keith Diefendorff said, the
search for increased performance has shifted from the pursuit of higher
clock frequencies and toward exploitation of parallelism.

Chip Makers Get Pinched By Cheap CPUs
Both Intel Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. reported selling far
fewer high-end processors in the second quarter than they had hoped for.
Whether this is an anomaly or the start of something bigger is the subject
of considerable debate. An obvious explanation is the economic downturn
and tighter budgets for both consumers and businesses. Computer makers may
have misjudged demand overall. Another possibility is that consumers see
no real need to buy more performance when slower, less expensive machines
handle most jobs well enough.

AMD Ads to Play Up 64-bit chips
After going head-to-head on clock speeds and prices, rival chipmakers
Advanced Micro Devices and Intel this week are kicking off dueling ad
campaigns. The AMD campaign will tout, among other things, AMD's
approach to building 64-bit processors. To get to 64 bits, AMD is
adding extensions to the 32-bit x86 architecture, the basis for both AMD
and Intel PC processors. Its new X86-64 chips–Opteron for servers and a
new Athlon for desktops–will be able to run 64-bit software, but can also
run older 32-bit applications at full speed, AMD says. Intel's approach to
64-bit has been to create a new processor, Itanium, specifically for
servers, and to develop new software and computer systems around it.

Serial ATA and the 7 Deadly Sins Of Parallel ATA
Mass storage media are currently pushing the envelope of parallel
interfaces. Cable properties, connector legacies and signaling protocols
have reached a point where trading off one potential problem spot against
another has left no more room for technical and design navigation. Cross
talk, ground bouncing and signal ringing, along with too tight timing
windows have left no margins for improvement beyond ATA PI-7 (UATA-133).
Within the next few weeks or months, we will experience a somewhat radical
transition from parallel to serial ATA that will deliver higher speed,
improved reliability and easier installation along with the introduction
of some other nifty features like tagged command queuing to the commodity
drive world. Taking theory to the testlab,
LostCircuits has dissected the Seagate Barracuda SATA V and show you
the first prototype of the next generation of drive including some
mindblowing performance. Any problems with it? You are about to find out.

Four people have been killed and ten others seriously injured when police opened fire on squatters protesting about being evicted from the 1200 acre Twiga Estate farm in Kenya, which they have lived on since 1952.
152 families (4,000 people) have been living on the farm since 1952, but claim they have owned the land since 1965 when itwas given to them by a white settler. They built homes and schools, and farmed the land for over 60 years.
Ownership of the land has since been disputed by a company called Mbo-Kamuiti who finally won the dispute in court, and subsequently issued those living on the land with an eviction notice. Despite over 100 officers armed with guns descending on the farm, the occupiers managed to repel the attack with bows and arrows, and stones.
The police have reported that four of their officers have been injured by arrows, including the chief of police who was shot in the arm pit.
A police spokesman has said that:
"On reaching a bridge next to the farm, the youths started pelting police officers with stones and throwing arrows at them. They were so violent that the officers were left with no alternative but to open fire in self-defence"
One of the occupiers reports that:
"The police were shooting at us using live bullets and I was hit in the leg as we scampered for safety"
Despite claims that an eviction notice had been served, the occupiers claim that they have never received any such notice, and that the police sneaked onto the land in attempt to force them out at 4.30am.
The courts have re-iterated their decision to evict and have instructed the police to see through the eviction.

Yosef aims to clarify Shas rabbi's 'Amalek' remark
Published July 21, 2013
JERUSALEM (JTA) — The Shas rabbi who called the Modern Orthodox community "Amalek" was referring only to politicians who represent that community, said the party's spiritual leader, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef.
Yosef made his remarks in a sermon on Saturday night, a week after Rabbi Shalom Cohen, a member of the haredi Orthodox party's rabbinical council, made the reference to the archenemy of the Jewish people.
"Rabbi Shalom Cohen said some things against knit kipot, but clearly he doesn't mean those who wear knit kippot, for is it the kippah that determines who a person is? He was referring to a few politicians who have relinquished the source of life [the Torah] and colluded with people who levied decrees on the world of Torah," Yosef said. "The rest of the knit kipot are loved. I never differentiated between knit kipot and black kippot. It's nothing."
Yosef is believed to be referring to Economy and Trade Minister Naftali Bennett, who is pushing legislation that would require haredi Orthodox men to serve in the Israeli military.
At an event July 13 announcing the candidacy of Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, Ovadia Yosef's youngest son, for Sephardic chief rabbi, Cohen said, "As long as there are knit kippot, the throne [of God] is not whole. That's Amalek. When will the throne be whole? When there is no knit kippah."
"Are these people even Jews?" he asked. "We would be unfortunate to end up with a [chief] rabbi who wears a knitted kippah."

"Should I invest in Robo-advisor S?"
Nowadays technology is increasingly becoming the pill that cures all ills, solves all problem, increases IQ by 10 points and created world peace. So when someone asks me about Robo-Advisors, I know they are asking whether THIS IS IT, this is the answer they're looking for, the missile they can Fire & Forget, the money they can stash and come back years later to be pleasantly surprised that they are now a millionaire… or they should move on.
Well, investment has become like this, dogmas.
For properties, it is "house prices never come down."
For stocks, it is "what comes down, must go up."
For Robo-advisors, we can add "cheap low cost Passive Investment always beat active fund managers."
These came about because there was a study conducted in US about passive investments outperforming fund managers after fees. This happened because in the US, markets are very efficient. When a company make an announcement, millions of traders will trade immediately and the company stock price will adjust immediately to reflect the announcement. There is no room for the fund manager to capitalize on stock mispricings. However in developing markets, the stock price movements are usually BEFORE the announcement. So the fund managers would get in before passive investment Funds respond.
I've seen post by regular investors as well questioning the asset allocation models of the Robo-Advisors. Somehow even when we buy into the promise of technology, when confronted with a black box, we would still be really unsure of what we are really putting our hard earned money in.
To be sure, compared to scams and other high risk speculation out there, Robo-advisors are safer. But those who wish for an investment to end all investments must realize there comes a day when belief is no substitute for knowledge. The certainty and conviction of an investment may kick them so hard just because sometimes crisis affects all investments across all spectrum. Which is why till this day, every person's idea of a successful investment is totally different from one another. Property, Stock, Unit Trust investors rarely cross boundaries or agree with each other. What works is sorely based on individual experience. Which is a pretty limited way to handle investments when the whole spectrum is available to all.

We reinserted ourselves into the perpetual cloud layer over Heathrow today, returning from a sun-drenched Thanksgiving in Southern California. In our absence, howling winds have stripped the trees bare. Here comes December.
A more welcoming variety of December greeted me on the doorstep today as well: contributor copies of the excellent US-based literary journal. Founded in 1958, the journal is making waves under new direction. I was pleased to discover a raft of Pacific University MFA students who make an appearance in this issue, including Mary Bond, Greg Jensen, Sam Roxas-Chua, and Andrew Wood.
I am looking forward to tucking in to the 200+ pages of fine poetry and prose. The fire in the stove is lit. The cat is near. Good writing is to hand.
Thus will we make our way through another English winter

In September 2013, after hearing Ted Cruz's "filibuster" on Obamacare, in which he exhorted everyone to read Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, I did a show on BlogTalk Radio, asking "Is Ted Cruz 'The Guy'?" The answer: yes, based on everything we knew at the time, it seemed so.
Now, with Cruz vowing to make same-sex marriage a central issue of his Presidential campaign, as well as proposing a Constitutional amendment that would make Supreme Court tenures subject to retention elections, is Cruz a candidate who still deserves our support?
This and more on tonight's show. See Program Notes, below, for all the stories, etc., I plan to discuss.

Reiki translates as Universal Life Force Energy. A Japanese doctor, Mikao Usui, is given credit for the rediscovery of this ancient healing art sometime in the mid 1800's. Reiki uses the laying on of hands in a deep meditative awareness. The practitioner places the hands in appropriate areas on the body for specific healing needs. Clients commonly report experiencing an over-all feeling of well-being. Reiki approaches healing in an holistic way. Not just healing on a physical level, but healing on every level including the mental and emotional levels. Perhaps even going beyond the boundaries of time and space to provide healing for the greatest good.
I was fortunate to have the honor of receiving my Reiki training from the very best: Reiki Masters Adele Cottrell and her daughter Karen Yoe. Karen and Adele were Tai Chi friends of mine and offered to share Reiki with me and it changed my life. I immediately began to include it in my daily routine for self-health maintenance along with Chi Gung, Tai Chi and Chuan Fa. Not long after, I began to offer Reiki as a service to my family and friends, and soon to the public in general. It is an honor to serve those in need as an emissary of the healing energy of the Universe.

The series is made to 1:21 scale, so that means in 'real life' this Angel stands some 1.7 m (5 ft 7 in) so the species is not very tall.
The scale is perhaps an odd one for kit builders, as 1:21 isn't to any standard format. However, it's reasonably close to 1:18, so our Angel is shown below putting a malign influence on a Bburago Mercedes-Benz. It isn't too far out from a size point of view.
If you subscribe to the series, then Eaglemoss has a bunch of goodies for you, including a splendid Emperor Dalek, standing 216 mm (8.5 in) high. A great pity though, that the bulk precludes it matching the rest of the collection - in fact, it's half-size, at 1:42 scale.

Curry Roasted Cauliflower with Watercress-Pistachio Dressing
Serves: 4 as a side dish
Cauliflower and curry are a match made in heaven, and when you slow roast them together the charred florets make an amazing vehicle for the aromatic spices. It is important that the cauliflower is roasted until it starts to become golden brown to help bring out the nuances of the curry spice and to give texture to the florets. This will give a lot of depth to the dish, while the freshness and acidity of the dressing will make for a light final impression. – Brad Farmerie
1 head of cauliflower cut into florets the size of a ping pong ball
1 red onion, sliced into ¼-inch wedges
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons curry powder
½ cup pistachios
1 ½ tablespoons Sherry vinegar
1/8 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves
1/8 cup watercress or chervil
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup water
Salt to taste
Fresh Cilantro leaves to garnish
Preheat the oven to 400ºF
In a large mixing bowl, toss together the cauliflower, red onion, olive oil, salt and curry powder until the cauliflower is evenly coated.
Spread the mixture on a half sheet-pan and roast in the oven for about 35-40 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown (you may need to broil the cauliflower, for a minute or two to get the nice color)
To make the dressing, lightly toast the pistachios in a heavy-bottomed pan.
Pour the nuts into a blender or food processor with rest of the dressing ingredients and pulse to make a chunky sauce.
Check for seasoning, add salt if you like.
Place the roasted cauliflower on a serving plate and pour over it the dressing and garnish with the additional cilantro, and serve warm or at room temperature.

So, the other day, I saw a MOUSE in my house. My house is not a house, really. It's a little box in the sky. Not far up in the sky, either. Second floor, 436 sq. ft. studio suite. packed FULL of books, papers, batteries, pens, bookmarks, stickers, boxes. an ironing board (I love ironing), receipts from plays I went to in 2004, papers I wrote for classes I took in 2003, taxes from, oh, the nineties, I think there's a bus transfer from 1988 in here somewhere, jars of pickles, wrappers from protein bars, earplugs, soap, pictures of Prairie Sky and suffragettes, a ceramic draft horse that used to stand in my Grandma's china cabinet…
you get the picture?
I'm kind of a borderline hoarder. if I don't get a handle on it, in 20 years, i'm gonna be one of those crazy ladies you hear about who live in tiny dark places stacked with boxes and piles of crap, and there'll be a path between the bed, the coffee-maker and the bathroom. I've been watching some episodes of "Hoarders" on the internet, here. It's chilling. I say the SAME things some of those people say–"oh, gee, i can't get rid of that, i wrote that when i first moved to BC in 1987, I remember that pen…" or "I don't remember her name, but she gave me that card for my birthday in 1983, lookit, it's archival!" and that t-shirt you can spit through? i can use it, still–i'll make a good nightshirt…
At least i have some insight…
anyhow, so there it was, a wee grey house mouse skittering across the floor between a pile of papers and my bed. Squitched me right out. I turn all girly when faced with live rodents, I tell ya. The GOOD news, of course, is that there was an open patch of floor across which the mouse was able to navigate. so, you know, it's not so bad.
Anyhow. so i did a bunch of research, and I went out and got the apparently least effective, most expensive, but non-lethal method of rodent riddance–one of those electronic noise things. It's supposed to emit a sound at a frequency that mice can hear, and that freaks them out and scares 'em away. I read a bunch of reviews and product descriptions of all kinds of things, and remembered when we had mice at the women's centre, and the pest control people put down those glue traps, and those were horrifying. ohmygod hearing the mice squeaking behind the pantry shelves when they were trapped on those things was awful. awful. wouldn't consider using those, not at all. There are those snap traps that crush their wee skulls; or there's warfarin, which thins their blood, so they end up dragging themselves home so they can bleed to death in front of their little mouse families; or there's an electric zapper that electrocutes them, and then you can just shake them out of the box into the garbage bin; or there are live traps that you can use to catch them and release them into the wild–the park across the street or the back alley a few blocks away. But there are problems with that, too–they are house mice, they don't tend to do well in the great outdoors. I read that somewhere. They'll die of exposure or predators or, here in the rainforest–drowning. I am not tough in that regard, I don't want to be responsible for another creatures' death.
I will eat them once they've been killed and butchered, but i don't want to have looked them in the eye before they're dinner, you know? (I am speaking here of critters in general, not mice. I don't think i want to eat mice. No.) city girl, me. there goes my reputation as being a big ol' country dyke. I was never all that convincing about that anyhow.
So i plug this electronic thing that screams at the mice, and know what? I can HEAR it! does that make me a rodent? damn. I suspected that i was transpecied, but I thought, you know, dolphin. Or maybe Golden Retriever or Lab or some fun, loyal, lovable creature like that. Not, you know, VERMIN.
they're smart, though, mice. Apparently. Way smarter than most creatures their size. Smarter, proportionately, than humans. I don't think as smart as dolphins, though. Nor as playful and loyal as dogs. If I'm gonna be transspecied, I oughta be able to pick which one to be, don't you think? I have criteria other than "no opposable thumbs". Smart's good, but I'd like to be a bigger species than a rodent, ya know?
anyhow. My friend came over yesterday to help me organize. Mostly she didn't want to because her brother's been really sick and she's been worried and living on fast food while visiting him in the hospital and trying to keep her dad and her brother's partner and herself all in some kind of together as they worried and tried to plan for his care and all that. He's gonna be okay, now, they think, but that was all very dramatic and took away some of her enthusiasm for managing my mess. But that's okay. she dug around in other places instead. "Why do you punish yourself?" she asked me.
I'm having a really hard time here in my skin these days, i have to tell you. my house is a mess, my life is enviable, i think. In some ways. busy and kind of lonesome and not bad at all; I work out a lot, and i'm getting some paid work, and have had a thing published in a couple of places, that's cool. And even if I'm kinda lonely, i love my solitude. At the same time, I feel like i'm skating around the periphery, just skimming the surfaces of things, not diving deep. And I do punish myself, it's true. It's at once self-indulgent and self-trashing to do this weird wrestle with the demons, isn't it? I think of all the things i have to do, there's a storytelling thing in a couple of weeks, and another workshop to prepare for soon, and a paper to write and an action to plan, and our playwright friend is coming to town and there's the triathlon coming up and the trip with my mom and … my apartment is disorganized and messy and i can't really cope. it looks like i'm coping, and I am, but wow it feels tenuous sometimes, you know how that is? I get all anxious and i don't know what to start on first–so i dont' start anything, or I start all of them, but don't finish any one and then i get mad and then i get scared again–
last night i went to a 'lesbian movie night' with some friends. F and D screened "the botanists daughter" in the common room of their coop. Beautiful beautiful movie. lots of gorgeous scenery and wonderful music and tender love scenes (which make me all twitchy, i had to leave the room sometimes, even though they were pretty chaste, all in all). The movie is about two women in China, one an orphan of a Russian woman and a Chinese man; the other the daughter of a cranky and renowned botanist. They fall in love. It's based on a true story and it's pretty damned sad, alright. None of the men can take care of themselves (or each other) without the women, and they take the women for granted and are brutes of one sort or another. Anyhow, it was a sad movie. and then i went to a party, one of my storytelling buddies turned a significant age with a zero behind it, and her husband threw her a big party at a very fancy place.
I can't find my Fleuvogs. most expensive item of clothing i own and they're gone. where? dammit. I dressed up for this party and had to wear runners, cause i couldn't find my wingtips. curses.
Anyhow, there were some people i know from storytelling, and some friends, and that was nice. but there was an open bar. and i used to LOVE open bars, and how often do you come across them these days? not often. It was kind of fun. But then again, it was kind of torture, 'cause i'd spent the day worrying about being messy and how can i fix that? i don't like living that way, it is keeping me from doing what i want to do, it's interfering…and T had me thinking about why I might be holding myself back like that, torturing myself, and then there was this sad movie and young lesbians trying to do the best they could, and trying to love each other, and the men sucking the life out of them, and then there was this party in a fancy place and everyone all dressed up and so on and an OPEN BAR. I couldn't stay very long.
Now, i'm not tempted by alcohol anymore, really. It's not drinking i have a problem with, now it's just life. And mostly i have a handle on that, more or less, 'cause i try to stay on top of it, and stay connected to other folks who are staying on top of it, so i can learn from them. But there were all these feelings, anxiety and fear and anger and sorrow and joy and more anxiety– really close to the surface, and thoughts and worries and there is a mouse in my house somewhere, what's it chewing on now?
Honestly. In this world, this capitalist patriarchy, where the Europeans are an invasive species, and the men are a constant worry and threat to women, and every 15 seconds a girl is genitally mutilated and one in three women are sexually or physically assaulted by men they know, sometimes love, often depend upon for economic security–where war is a constant threat –the old men with too much power and not enough self-respect, control, understanding, I don't know, they won't let go, they insist on sending their young out to die, and where there are earthquakes, floods, volcanoes erupting and hurricanes and on and on–
it's so hard to be human– to see each other, to respect and nurture those tender connections between us–There's so much trouble and turmoil going on,
and it's a fucking mouse that sends me over the edge.
This blog post doesn't have an ending. I'm listening to opera now–Montserrat Caballe. It'll be okay. Discomfort is good. K said to me today, she said, "this is what it is, we have to sit here, and feel this discomfort. It's okay. It's not going to go away, anyhow, unless we let it be here." Something all Buddhist like that she said. That's why I used to love open bars. So I wouldn't have to feel this kind of discomfort. You know what, eh, you can do yoga eight hours a day and never black out. dammit. Ah well. All part of life, this. It's all part of life. Not such a bad part, either. Keep breathing…

Who of BBC fame returns
- Publication: Houston Chronicle
- Date: 1996-05-14
- Author: Ann Hodges
- Page: 1D
- Language: English
"Doctor Who" has two hearts and four more lives than a cat.
He's born again, tonight at 7 on Fox and Channel 26. Whether this life, No. 8 out of the time lord's 13, is destined to be a long one will depend on the whim and fancy of the Doctor's faithful fans.
Doctor Who is a new TV movie based on the BBC's long-running science-fiction series. The doctor premiered in England Nov. 23, 1963, and ran 26 years. PBS bought the series, which became a cult favorite in the United States.
In Britain, it's a TV institution. Whovians are to Doctor Who what Trekkies are to "Star Trek".
The last time I saw Doctor Who, space aliens wore tin cans, silver-painted wet suits and car headlights on their heads; the special effects were a hoot.
Tonight we see a state-of-the-art Who for the '90s, with everything from digital effects to prosthetics. The special effects may be too good. They make me nostalgic for the tin-can days.
A hearty sprinkling of the humor that made Doctor Who a sci-fi style-setter in years past remains, and the story is probably convoluted enough to satisfy his original fans. It may confuse newcomers, but it should keep them in their seats if they like car chases, body snatching, bloody confrontations and impending catastrophes, marked by an atomic clock, ticking off the minutes to the millennium.
Six years ago the good Doctor took his last TV trip, and when we meet again, Sylvester McCoy, who played Who at show's end in '89, is back. But then he regenerates into a younger, quite charming Who, played by Paul McGann, a good choice for the role.
The Doctor has survived death and changed actors seven times. William Hartnell was Who when the series started. Three years later, he decided he'd had enough, and the producers decided to let Who die and come back in a new body. Thus Doctor Who's 13 lives were born.
(To explain these changes to casual viewers, suffice it to say that all time lords have 13 lives. Dr. Who and his archenemy, The Master, are time lords.)
Patrick Troughton followed Hartnell. Then came Jon Pertwee (1970), Tom Baker (1974), Peter Davison (1982), Colin Baker (1984) and McCoy (1987).
Peter Cushing starred in two Doctor Who movies, but the producers of this movie don't count that as a regeneration. They say Whovians don't consider anything but the BBC series to be part of the Doctor Whomythology.
The Master has spent all 13 of his lives since the two time lords last met. Now Who is flying what remains of The Master to the far galaxies to put him away forever. He never gets there. Doctor Who's TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimensions in Space machine) crash-lands in San Francisco on Dec. 30, 1999.
The Doctor steps out of the police call booth that is his entry to TARDIS, and is greeted by a bullet to one of his hearts. A snakelike glob, the remains of The Master, slithers out to find a temporary body. He chooses a nice paramedic (played with post-possession gusto by Eric Roberts). His ambulance delivers Who to the emergency room, where he expires on the operating table.
Who's heart surgeon, Dr. Grace Holloway (Daphne Ashbrook), botches it because she doesn't know her patient has two hearts. Who goes to the morgue to take a new body. It's that body that The Master's slimeball is after.
The BBC made 723 episodes of Doctor Who, but 80 of them are now lost. The Doctor Who Appreciation Society still meets every year in England.
"They celebrate the character; they really care," Who executive producer Philip Segal said. "People in Great Britain, including people who don't go to those meetings, are really excited it's being brought back; it's a huge thing over there."
If it's so beloved in Britain, why did it end?
"People took it for granted after 26 years," said Jo Wright, BBC's executive producer of drama series. "It's like Star Trek. When it went away, everybody wanted it back."

Do you like puzzles? We hope so because today we'd like to share with you our interview with Hequan Li the creator of Cross Crush Gems.
Cross Crush Gems may be one of the hardest puzzles we've ever reviewed. To clear even the simplest levels you'll be required to think way ahead… A nightmare for speedy action game lovers😓
Original Review -> Check it out!
Before we start, we'd like to thank Hequan Li for participating in our interview, and for spending some of his valuable time in answering our questions. Thanks Hequan.
Now without any further ado our interview begins.
Ok first up, why did you decide to make Cross Crush Gems?
There are tons of eliminating puzzle games out there. One of them is very popular on flash based websites, the mechanism is to touch the intersection of identical objects to remove them. However, I've seen very few well-made games on mobile platform. Some of them directly transferred the game without any optimization. Since the original game needs a very large play area, commonly 20*20 grids. This makes the game un-playable on small screens. Most importantly, all the games just randomly generate tons of bricks, without a guaranteed solution. So it only depends on your luck to remove all the bricks. Then one day I thought, maybe I can do better. At least I can find an algorithm to generating a level with at least one guaranteed solution. Plus, I have tons of ideas about new game modes, for example, there are four in my game. The classic mode is pretty close to the original version, with a time limit to force you act quickly. But we know there are many perfectionists, they feel extremely uncomfortable when there is one brick left!!! So I decided to create a perfectionism mode. You have to eliminate all the gems. As a trade off, there is no time limit, but you really have to think a lot before touching a site. Other modes like survival mode and endless mode, are for different people too.
Cool! So what programming language and or software did you use when making Cross Crush Gems?
I use Swift and Xcode on a mac, and only write for iOS platform as a start. I would say before this game, my coding skill is like just so so. But during the development of this game, I got the chance to solve tons of weird bugs I've never seen in other projects. Probably because all my previous coding experience is without UI, like pure C++, python project for computing something. So I had to spend lots of time on stackoverflow and read the document to solve many problems. I learned a lot through this and I believe it's super worthwhile for my future projects.
Ok, here is a mean question. What was the hardest problem you needed to overcome when developing Cross Crush Gems?
As an indie, I guess the most difficult issue is the "Design & UI". I'm a typical Engineer&Science guy. I dress in a T-shirt and jeans. Oh come on! What kind of "aesthetic standards" do I have?! When I first finished the core of the game mechanism, the prototype was so ugly that I wanted to cry. Then I asked many people for suggestions, especially my girlfriend. She made me change all the color bricks into gems. She gave me a lot of advice on the design. I also learned many tricks by studying tons of iOS best selling games.
To summarize, the total time for this game was about three month. The prototype of the game mechanism, only took two weeks. The rest, all for UI and design. It's painful yet worthwhile.
I cannot say I'm 100% satisfied with the result, but I can say it's the best I can do without a designer.
Last question. Where do you get your inspiration or ideas from?
I like to look at other games, both well-made and ill-made ones, especially many unsuccessful games can give you a lot of ideas. Why was it unsuccessful? Is the game mechanism interesting enough? What can you do to improve it?
I also get a lot of advice from friends.
A few words to Cross Crush Gems fans on Edamame Reviews.
Well, I have to say, I'm making a very interesting new game. It's based on a similar game mechanism as Cross Crush Gems. But it's much easier yet challenging. It's a number puzzle, like 2048. I've already finished most of the parts, I expect it would be finished in several weeks. I cannot give more details, but just remember IT WILL BE SUPER FUN!!!
Lastly a few words on how you feel about Edamame Reviews and our service.
Honestly, you guys are awesome!!! Fast response, enthusiastic. I sent my game to several website asking for a review, never expecting anyone to respond. I heard if you want to get some review, you should plan very early. Most website have a long queue that takes weeks, and they only choose several games among hundreds. So when I heard from you guys, I was super excited. I know Edamame Reviews is not a super website that has millions of readers though. However I believe you guys will make this website bigger and bigger, and I would definitely have my future games reviewed on your website and use your website to find more fun games to get my ideas and inspiration.
Really nice to talk to you guys!
Hope Edamame Reviews gets more and more readers! (and my game gets more and more downloads!) :]
Thank you for following Edamame Reviews!

Mannitol is a naturally occurring sugar that is available as a dry powder. When inhaled, it works in two ways in the lungs, as an osmotic agent that rehydrates mucus and changes the properties of the bronchi walls, and as an agent that enhances airway clearance by improving the interaction between cilia and mucus.
Osmotic agents such as mannitol have the capacity to draw water from inside cells to the outside, and vice-versa. In this specific case, inhaled mannitol increases the sugar levels in mucus, a change that draws water from lung cells in response, rehydrating mucus. As mucus becomes more hydrated, its interaction with cilia increases, making it easier to cough from the lungs.
Mannitol (brand name, Aridol) is approved as a clinical test of bronchial hyperresponsiveness in people suspected of having asthma.
Studies of inhaled mannitol for bronchiectasis
Previous studies of inhaled mannitol have demonstrated improvement in airway clearance, mucus rehydration, quality of life and respiratory symptoms in people with bronchiectasis.
A Phase 3 study (NCT00669331) assessed the safety and efficacy of 400 mg of inhaled mannitol twice daily for 12 months in 485 people with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, compared to 50 mg of inhaled mannitol twice daily given a control group.
Published results found no significant reduction in the number of exacerbations in patients using 400 mg of inhaled mannitol compared to low-dose controls. However, time to first exacerbation improved in high-dose patients as did their quality of life, as measured by the St. Georges Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). Adverse events were similar between the two groups, and inhaled mannitol at both levels was found to be safe and well-tolerated.
An earlier study conducted in Australia concluded that this treatment has the potential to "minimize retention of mucus" and help bronchiectasis patients "who require a daily intervention to clear their secretions."

The recently released iOS 5.1 beta has just given a new life to rumors mill with the discovery of new references of the iPhone 5, iPad 3 and new Apple TV with A5 processor. It appears that Apple has baked the iOS 5.1 with having plans for the couple of unreleased / not announced services. iOS 5.1 to be the first public iPhone 4S Siri official update from Apple, which fixes the overall performance bugs and includes the new features for the Siri.
As reported by the hackers, the new iOS 5.1 also carries limited Siri API support for developers and enables them to give some Siri love to their applications, as we have already seen the couple of applications with limited integration of Siri into the third party application's core. The new limited iPhone 4S Siri API's allow developers to call some functions on their applications but still not allows them to fully integrate it in the core of the application.
In short, the availability of this limited Siri API support in iOS 5.1 beta 1 show that Apple has also been considering to roll out official API system for developers to create their applications according to their Siri feature need, or could allow them to develop such apps, which wake up on the Siri's API calls. We have already seen the couple of Siri hacks from the SiriProxy, a web-based Siri proxy server that allows users/ developers to generate their own commands on Siri.

So, imagine my surprise when I was scrolling through my Facebook news-feed the other day and saw on a friend's status that we are running out of chocolate! I admit to being slightly miffed at having had no idea that this was occurring.
Anyway, after I managed to calm the panic attack, I decided to have a little nose and discovered that there are quite a number of things that the world is reportedly running out of and I had no clue! And, being the kind-hearted person I am, I have decided to share this information with you!
Read on to learn about 5 things that the world is running out of.
5. Chocolate
This seems as good a place as any to begin. We're running out of chocolate. Well, cocoa beans to be exact and there doesn't seem to be any way to prevent it! Because cocoa bean crops are being removed to make room for rubber plantations it is predicted that we will run out of this vital ingredient to chocolate in around 7 years.
Fear not, however, as there will be a delicious, bendy new form of chocolate that will possibly hit the supermarket shelves. Bulked out with nougat, raisins, sugar and vegetable fat, these yummy sounding treats will undoubtedly appeal to even the most discerning chocolate connoisseur.
Who am I kidding? Go! Stock up on chocolate!! Or better yet donate to those schemes that aim to support cocoa bean farmers and save our chocolate!!
4. Helium
No more floaty balloons for you! Helium must be used only for serious past-times, like providing amusing, squeaky voices. But just how can a seemingly natural resource be running out?
Well, unlike some natural resources, helium is non-renewable. It was created millions of years ago as a by-product of decaying radioactive rock and because it is so light it leaks out into space unless it is trapped and contained. It is also heavily used by us and unless we learn to be more careful it is predicted to run out in around 30 years from now.
3. Bacon
OK, so I admit I laughed a little when I read this one. I wondered how on earth we could ever run out of bacon! Thankfully this doesn't seem to be an apocalypse that's coming our way any time soon, but it would appear that the price of bacon, and pork in general, will likely rise significantly over the coming years due to a number of factors, such as increased cost of raising pigs and the illness Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus that has an 80% – 100% mortality rate.
Hopefully this little problem will sort itself out soon, after all, what's a BLT without the bacon?!
2. Wine
I am extremely dismayed by the news that we will soon be facing a wine shortage. According to recent reports, the world's population of wine drinkers is increasing, whilst wine production isn't. In fact, over the last couple of years Europe, which brews around half the world's wine, has seen a decrease in production of around 25%.
Coupled with poor harvests, this makes very grim news indeed.
1. Freshwater
We've heard this little environmental cliché so often, it can get a tad boring, but it's true. If we're not careful with our precious water reserves, we could see major shortages in the not-too-distant future. In fact, many places do indeed suffer from water shortages and rationing on a regular basis and it's only likely to get worse, if we don't put more effort into maintaining and securing our current freshwater supplies.
Many people don't see this as an issue because of the sheer volume of water on this planet, but freshwater only makes up 3% of the overall water available. With population rising and natural disasters damaging our freshwater reserves, this is a problem that certainly doesn't appeal to my happy place.
What do you think of my list? Do you know of anything else that we're running out of? If so, pop a comment below and tell us about it.

Your social media content works best when it provides massive value.
There's a stark contrast between consuming social media and creating for social media.
Creating builds your social media platforms. Consuming is everything else you do that has little effect on growth.
How do you stand out and actually provide value?
Pay Attention To Analytics
Browsing through Instagram profiles, Facebook pages, Twitter feeds is not always the best way to get inspiration for your posts. People tend to use similar language and hashtags, argue similar points, and generally stay in the middle of what is considered appropriate for these mediums.
If you find yourself browsing a bit too much, press the pause button on your social media habits. You should be creating way more than you consume.
Stuck for ideas? Study the analytics of your posts. Which of your posts get the most likes, dislikes, and views? Create your posts to fit what is most valuable to your readers.
Never post something that you don't believe or support. Always post something that genuinely fits the values and vision of your church.
Define What Growth Looks Like
For some, growth is having a million followers. For some, it is building a loyal following of a thousand true fans.
Where do you stand on that spectrum? Have you got a clear vision for your social media?
If you find yourself joining social media platforms just because everyone else is doing it, you have two choices – either walk away (shut down, sign out and focus your energy elsewhere) or hire a digital media expert to guide you.
This brings the focus back to creating social media posts with the intention of growth.
This short post is a reminder that right now, you should stop reading and start creating!

Girls' Generation Member Tiffany's Hard Work And Dedication Revealed On "Sister's Slam Dunk"
Girls' Generation's Tiffany definitely worked hard to become the top star she is today.
On the May 6 episode of KBS's variety show "Sister's Slam Dunk," Min Hyo Rin is the second cast member who receives the opportunity to achieve her dream.
During the broadcast, Park Jin Young joins cast members Kim Sook, Ra Mi Ran, Hong Jin Kyung, Min Hyo Rin, Jessi, and Tiffany in order to support JYP Entertainment's Min Hyo Rin. Later on, Tiffany reveals her practice notebook, where she keeps record of everything that she did wrong during her practices.
The veteran singer can't help but be amazed when he sees her notebook. It's because she wrote down in detail everything that happened with brightly colored pens. Park Jin Young, who is also known for being very strict with himself, is both touched by and curious as to what exactly Tiffany wrote in her notebook.
Tiffany shocks her fellow cast members when she explains, "I've practiced dancing for six hours and singing for another six hours every day up until now." Ra Mi Ran jokes, "Oh dear, I can't take it."
Meanwhile, the cast members also candidly reveal their inner thoughts during this broadcast.
What do you think about Tiffany's method of keeping track of her progress?

A Downloader Trojan for Android devices. It was first detected on Google Play, where it was distributed as the Turbo VPN application - Unlimited Free VPN & Proxy, designed for VPN. Android.DownLoader.818.origin is based on the open-source OpenVPN for Android project.
When launched, the Trojan prompts the user to grant it access to the SD card of the device with the following message:
When the access is granted, Android.DownLoader.818.origin requests administrative privileges.
After the Trojan is assigned the device administrator, it hides its icon from the app list on the main screen. For that, it restricts the access to the activity that launches it.
Then Android.DownLoader.818.origin uses its own com.turbo.free.vpn.util.VPNService to download the Addon.apk file from the server https://cdn.*****vpn and writes it to the external repository (an SD card or the available memory on the mobile device). The file is the adware Trojan Android.HiddenAds.710, but other files can be downloaded too, depending on server configuration.
After the download, Android.DownLoader.818.origin prompts the user to install it every 20 seconds with a standard system dialog:
The dialog keeps showing until the owner of the affected device agrees to install the application.
Android.DownLoader.818.origin also registers the broadcast receiver com.turbo.free.vpn.util.VPNConnection that launches the Trojan service com.turbo.free.vpn.util.VPNService upon the following system events:
- android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE—Internet connection or disconnection.
- android.net.wifi.WIFI_STATE_CHANGED—WiFi module power on or off.
- android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED—operating system loading.

Rickard Rakell beats Jonathan Quick with a spectacular one-handed deflection
Not many Ducks are getting bounces, but Rickard Rakell got a perfect one Sunday night.
Shortly after Los Angeles had scored in the second period of Sunday's game, Anaheim found themselves with possession of the puck in the Kings zone. Rakell made a slick touch pass back to Kevin Bieksa, who fired a pass over to Shea Theodore. With the puck at the blueline, Rakell went directly to the front of the net.
However, with Theodore hanging on to the puck a split-second longer than anticipated, Rakell made himself available for a pass to the left of goaltender Jonathan Quick. Rakell's extra stride seemingly put him out of position when Theodore's shot came towards the net, but the Ducks winger reached back with one hand and, with a flick of his wrists, deflected the puck over the shoulder of Quick:
One would think this had to be entirely accidental — how could he plan that deflection, right? — but watch the way Rakell turns his wrist over and manipulates his stick as the puck is coming in. Rakell knew exactly what he was doing and it worked to perfection. It was a big goal, too, as it came 33 seconds after Los Angeles had scored to take 1-0 lead. That's the kind of response Anaheim has been missing all season.
The tally was Rakell's ninth of the season, which ties a career high set last season, and gives him 20 points on the year. Rakell, 22, is now 11 points away from equaling his career-best for points with 38 games remaining in the campaign.

Oregon's biggest prison held 3,056 prisoners on Friday and employed nearly 900 staffers, a corrections colossus that, if incorporated, would be the second-biggest city in Malheur County.
The Snake River Correctional Institution is a 538-acre fortress that sits just outside the western limits of Ontario, which hugs a crook of the Snake River about 55 miles west of Boise. The prison's operating budget runs about $50 million a year.
More than 2,000 inmates live in medium-security cellblocks, with roughly 180 in a dormitory-style minimum-security facility.
What sets the SRCI complex apart from Oregon's other prisons is the institution's special housing unit – more than 500 beds occupied by inmates in administrative segregation (for their protection against other inmates); disciplinary segregation (up to 180 days for breaking rules); or the Intensive Management Unit (long-term solitary for repeated aggression or other behavioral issues).
Cells in the IMU's tiers, with their steel doors painted pink, are a world away from accommodations in the general population. The solitary lockup keeps inmates in their cells roughly 23 hours a day, an expensive, labor-intensive form of incarceration scorned by many human rights groups.
Some of the inmates in one of the prison's two minimum-security dorms take part in a dog handler program, keeping up to eight dogs inside the dorm during the day. The dogs go outside to a kennel at night, but prisoners sometimes keep them close in their crates if the animal gets sick or has special needs.
Prison volunteer Barb Hutchinson, who founded the program, brings the dogs to the prisoners from the 2nd Chance Animal Shelter in Payette, Idaho. Many of the animals were strays or surrendered by owners who couldn't manage them. Inmates train them for eight to 12 weeks before they are put up for adoption. Naturally, the inmates get attached.
"It's hard for them the first couple of times they give a dog up," Hutchinson said, but after a time "they toughen up a little."
Throughout the prison, we saw prisoners with teddy bears tethered to their chests – a requirement of a parenting class that teaches moms and dads the rudiments of their 24-hour responsibilities to their children. One of the inmates carrying a bear was Brandon Angel Gonzalez, 21, who was sent to SRCI earlier this year for assault and unlawful use of a weapon. His earliest release date is February 2017.
Gonzalez told us that before he and other inmates carried teddy bears in the Baby Bjorn style (the bears are later presented to their kids), they carried eggs in baby socks.
We met Gonzalez in one of the wide hallways, where corrections officers stop prisoners at random to pat them down for weapons or other contraband. Lines form as prisoners make their way outside for recreation, often breaking into cliques based on color and ethnicity.
Tattoos are ubiquitous at Snake River and other prisons. Corrections officers keep watch for fresh ink, new tats covertly created by inmate artists. Giving or getting tattoos inside Oregon's prisons is a rule violation that can get you locked up in an orange suit in disciplinary segregation.
As we moved through the corridors and tiers of the medium-security prison, we saw unexpected kindnesses.
It was not uncommon to see a corrections officer stopping in front of a cell to comfort inmates having bad days behind panes of unbreakable glass. Once we saw a short prisoner limping out to the recreation yard, literally leaning on another inmate for help.

A Peek into Life at El Shaddai
Kids being kids
There are certain aspects of being a kid that seem universal. Kids love to laugh, make silly faces, be cool, and even get into mischief.
Our children here a El Shaddai are certainly no exception. They are full of laughter. They make some truly classic faces. They can be just as cool as any kid. And yes, they can be mischievous (they know they are not suppose to play on the water tank platform).

The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is an annual assessment for students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9.
NAPLAN is a nationwide measure through which parents, teachers, schools, education authorities, governments and the broader community can determine whether or not young Australians are developing the literacy and numeracy skills that provide the critical foundation for other learning and for their productive and rewarding participation in the community.
NAPLAN is a point-in-time assessment that allows parents to see how their child is progressing against national standards in literacy and numeracy and over time.
The tests provide an important contribution to monitoring and evaluating the performance of schools and school systems in these fundamental capabilities. They also provide schools, states and territories with information about how education approaches are working, the areas to be prioritised for improvement, and those schools requiring support in the teaching and learning of literacy and numeracy.
The results can assist teachers by providing additional information to support their professional judgement about students' levels of literacy and numeracy attainment and progress.
NAPLAN tests are one aspect of each school's assessment and reporting process, they do not replace the extensive, ongoing assessments made by teachers about each student's performance. Your child's teacher will have the best insight into your child's educational progress.
NAPLAN results do not measure overall school quality.
The assessments are undertaken nationwide, every year, in the second full week in May.
NAPLAN is made up of tests in the four areas (or 'domains') of:
language conventions (spelling, grammar and punctuation)
