So it's Earth Day, and it's fitting, because I'm feeling quite green today.
Aside from my queasiness, I feel good because I've recycled, drove a fuel efficient car, used cloth diapers, ate organic food, drank from a reusable bottle, didn't use too much water in the bath tub, the girls bathed together, I skipped washing my hair and shaving today. I am bonified!
But seriously though, it's been a hell of a month! I went back up to Seattle to be with my mom after her surgery, fully expecting her to have cancer and a grim prognosis. I learned she has the beginnings of emphysema and she hadn't told me. She looked like a corpse when I first saw her after surgery and her breathing was so raspy and labored. She seriously looked like an 80 year old and not a 60 year old woman!
She wasn't the best patient and the drugs made her really out of it. She seemed like a crazy woman and I think the nurses were utterly fed up with her. They definitely didn't get her sense of humor (or lack thereof).
After four days of committed service to her and we knew she wasn't going to die anytime soon, my uncle pushed me to go home to my own family, work, life, joys. Hinted around about not enabling my mom and that I'd done a damn good job of sticking by her through the rough days. I was able to help her get cleaned up, dressed, packed up and released from the hospital and back to my uncle's house. Then he took me to the airport and I flew home.
Oh - and not to forget how I got scolded by the TSA guy for not taking my laptop out of its case. I had words with him to refute myself, he shook his head at me walking away and me shouting, "Don't you shake your head at me!" (and under my breath, "Douche bag!") I think the pilot behind me thought it was amusing and startling at the same time.
I returned to work the next day against my will and better judgment. I really could have used a day off with the girls. My boss' attitude and demanding behavior didn't help my mood. I felt a familiar anger boil up inside me every time he sent me one of his curt emails and I gave him an attitude right back in every single one of my emails back to him. I slammed things around, grunted, didn't offer greetings or salutations to him. It was almost comical, and I had a vague recollection of feeling this way with other bosses in jobs prior. Usually I can be composed and professional and it's rare to lose my temper.
These spells of anger were what prompted me to pick up a few pregnancy tests on the way home from work. It didn't seem plausible that I could be, only doing the deed twice in a month and I have been timing my cycle so faithfully. But I still hadn't received Aunt Flo and I was on day 38 or so. (Normally a 35 day cycle).
So, the next morning, tested and it was positive! SHOCK and DENIAL! Fear and wonder! How? Now what? To be honest, I'm still in shock and denial. That was a week ago and I was feeling no symptoms. Now... I feel run over by a truck. Nauseous and exhausted. Fuzzy brained. Angry and impatient. Weird dreams. Insomnia. Can't concentrate at work. Ravenous but aversion to food at the same time.
I got on BabyCenter right away to find out my due date (around Christmas!), see what's going on with my body/baby, read about other moms to be and what they're experiencing. That's a time sucker right there when you're at work! To be honest, people on those boards can be very obsessed and over-the-top, so it's not somewhere you want to hang out for too long I decided.
So I called OB, they ordered lab work, I had blood drawn for HCG levels and all is good and numbers growing, so next step, an early ultrasound next week. In the mean time, I've only told 6 people and not telling anymore until I know there's a heartbeat. (Except you know now, dear reader). Shh... keep it on the DL.
In other contrasting and devastating news, my daycare provider and friend, who is only 29, just found out she has ovarian cancer. In a routine exam, she had a lot of pain when they pushed down on her ovaries. They investigated further with an ultrasound later that week and spent over 2 hours looking at suspicious growths. This week she went in for a laparoscopic surgery and they found huge growths all around her ovaries. She had to have a complete hysterectomy!
Let me tell you, this girl is a sweetheart who absolutely adores children and has a gift for teaching little ones and nurturing them. She was the little girl who spent hours taking care of her dollies and playing house - to the extreme. All she has ever wanted is to be a mom and she was trying to move forward with those steps in her life with her boyfriend - marriage, family. It is such a shocker. Now she will need to have chemo and will lose her beautiful hair. Thank god for her life though - I hope they caught it early.
In a way it's so backwards - my mom was spared of cancer even though she's lived a pretty unhealthy life, smoking since she was a teenager. My friend, who is extremely healthy, organic, active, fit, young - has cancer and will be robbed of having children. Unbelievable.
So, I need lots of prayers, good vibes, comfort and humor sent my way. Have any advice for preparing for a third child? Is my life going to get completely unmanageable now?

A hand to the forehead. My mom could always tell if I had a fever just by touching my forehead. On occasion, I can tell if my son is feverish this way too. Even when that trick works, I need a lot more detail about my son's fever. So does my pediatrician. When my son was two he and his dad went to the park. After an hour he came home flushed but shivering. I could tell immediately he had a fever when I kissed his forehead but when we took his temperature, I was shocked to see he had spiked a 104-degree fever.
Before my son was born I'm not sure I even owned a thermometer. If I did it might have been one of those old mercury models I could never actually read. Once he arrived, I tried many before I found the Braun ThermoScan® Ear thermometer. During my search, I had three main priorities for a thermometer: a thermometer that was accurate, easy to read, and easy on my son.
Everything flows from being easy to administer: Easy means my son isn't going to loose it when I try to take his temperature. Easy means he wouldn't wriggle around so much I can actually take it. Easy means maybe I can even take it while he sleeps which is SO important when he needs to get well. Easy means I can take it frequently enough to see if the ibuprofen is working. Easy means I can monitor those low-grade mystery fevers without getting him so upset he actually gets hot. I'll be blunt: If it is too hard to take your kid's temperature it doesn't matter if the thermometer is accurate or if the readout is easy to read.
When a fever hits it's a message telling us our bodies are marshaling their immune system to fight off a virus or an infection. My pediatrician and I want a thermometer that is accurate so we can monitor a fever's ups and downs. I like knowing that my son runs a little on the cool side so I can factor that in when he does spike a fever. Last spring, he had a mystery low-grade fever that kept coming and going. Since it was a bit of a mystery, the doctor wanted me to track it at numerous intervals throughout the day. It was super important to know I could rely on my Braun ThermoScan® Ear Thermometer with clinically proven precise and accurate readings.
"Easy to read" means a digital readout with large enough numbers my tired eyes can read them in low light. Easy to read means I can accurately give the doctor a report. All the business about accuracy and being easy on your kid doesn't do much for you if you can't see what a thermometer says!
A recent survey of GenX and Millenial moms both groups listed accuracy as the most important attribute of a thermometer (60% vs. 52%). However, millennial moms prioritized comfort followed by ease of use and speed of reading. The same survey echoed how I feel when my son gets sick: The survey reveals all moms regardless of their experience and age, ride an emotional rollercoaster when it comes to caring for their sick child, at first feeling nervous (64%), anxious (64%), and protective (93%) prior to taking their temperature.However, taking their kid's temperature quickly eases those concerns by making them feel informed (67%), responsible (64%), prepared (59%) and in control (52%). On this front I've learned I need to be prepared.
As I head into cold and flu season I like to be prepared whether we are home or on the road. I have a Braun ThermoScan® Ear Thermometer in my son's bedside table for when I need it and have a second one stashed in a toiletry bag. That toiletry bag comes with us for weekend jaunts and longer trips to grandma's house. I don't have to remember to pack it (or worry that I didn't) because the spare always lives in that bag!
While you prep for cold and flu season or shower gifts for expectant moms, think about one or both of these great models from Braun.
Braun No Touch + Forehead Thermometer: With this one I don't even need to touch my kid to take his temperature. So easy! Also, if the thermometer isn't close enough or is aimed at the wrong spot on his forehead the readout turns red. The screen is a great size and bright enough to read easily. This is a fantastic option when you need to get a read on your child's temperature without waking them up.
The Braun ThermoScan® Ear Thermometer: We've been using this model in our family for years! I also like knowing the Braun ThermoScan® Ear Thermometer is the number one thermometer with pediatricians and moms. The ear canal is the best site to measure a fever because of its close proximity to the eardrum, which shares the blood supply of the brain's temperature control center.
While gearing up for the winter season, be sure to get these Braun thermometers and all of your Winter wellness needs at Amazon.com

Some Basic Theorems on Trees
Tree:- A connected graph without any circuit is called a Tree. In other words, a tree is an undirected graph G that satisfies any of the following equivalent conditions:
- Any two vertices in G can be connected by a unique simple path.
- G is acyclic, and a simple cycle is formed if any edge is added to G.
- G is connected and has no cycles.
- G is connected but would become disconnected if any single edge is removed from G.
- G is connected and the 3-vertex complete graph K3 is not a minor of G.
For Example:
- This Graph is a Tree:
- This Graph is not a Tree:
Some theorems related to trees are:
- Theorem 1: Prove that for a tree (T), there is one and only one path between every pair of vertices in a tree.
- Proof: Since tree (T) is a connected graph, there exist at least one path between every pair of vertices in a tree (T). Now, suppose between two vertices a and b of the tree (T) there exist two paths. The union of these two paths will contain a circuit and tree (T) cannot be a tree. Hence the above statement is proved.
- Theorem 2: If in a graph G there is one and only one path between every pair of vertices than graph G is a tree.
- Proof: There is the existence of a path between every pair of vertices so we assume that graph G is connected. A circuit in a graph implies that there is at least one pair of vertices a and b, such that there are two distinct paths between a and b. Since G has one and only one path between every pair of vertices. G cannot have any circuit. Hence graph G is a tree.
- Theorem 3: Prove that a tree with n vertices has (n-1) edges.
- Proof: Let n be the number of vertices in a tree (T).
- If n=1, then the number of edges=0.
- If n=2 then the number of edges=1.
- If n=3 then the number of edges=2.
- Hence, the statement (or result) is true for n=1, 2, 3.
- Let the statement be true for n=m. Now we want to prove that it is true for n=m+1.
- Let be the edge connecting vertices say Vi and Vj. Since G is a tree, then there exists only one path between vertices Vi and Vj. Hence if we delete edge e it will be disconnected graph into two components G1 and G2 say. These components have less than m+1 vertices and there is no circuit and hence each component G1 and G2 have m1 and m2 vertices.
Now, the total no. of edges = (m1-1) + (m2-1) +1 = (m1+m2)-1 = m+1-1 = m.
- Hence for n=m+1 vertices there are m edges in a tree (T). By the mathematical induction the graph exactly has n-1 edges.
- Theorem 4: Prove that any connected graph G with n vertices and (n-1) edges is a tree.
- Proof: We know that the minimum number of edges required to make a graph of n vertices connected is (n-1) edges. We can observe that removal of one edge from the graph G will make it disconnected. Thus a connected graph of n vertices and (n-1) edges cannot have a circuit. Hence a graph G is a tree.
- Theorem 5: Prove that a graph with n vertices, (n-1) edges and no circuit is a connected graph.
- Proof: Let the graph G is disconnected then there exist at least two components G1 and G2 say. Each of the component is circuit-less as G is circuit-less. Now to make a graph G connected we need to add one edge e between the vertices Vi and Vj, where Vi is the vertex of G1 and Vj is the vertex of component G2.
Now the number of edges in G = (n – 1)+1 =n.
- Now, G is connected graph and circuit-less with n vertices and n edges, which is impossible because the connected circuit-less graph is a tree and tree with n vertices has (n-1) edges. So the graph G with n vertices, (n-1) edges and without circuit is connected. Hence the given statement is proved.
- Theorem 6: A graph G is a tree if and only if it is minimally connected.
- Proof: Let the graph G is minimally connected, i.e; removal of one edge make it disconnected. Therefore, there is no circuit. Hence graph G is a tree.
Conversely, let the graph G is a tree i.e; there exists one and only one path between every pair of vertices and we know that removal of one edge from the path makes the graph disconnected. Hence graph G is minimally connected.
- Theorem 7: Every tree with at-least two vertices has at-least two pendant vertices.
- Proof: Let the number of vertices in a given tree T is n and n>=2. Therefore the number of edges in a tree T=n-1 using above theorems.
summation of (deg(Vi)) = 2*e = 2*(n-1) =2n-2
- The degree sum is to be divided among n vertices. Since a tree T is a connected graph, it cannot have a vertex of degree zero. Each vertex contributes at-least one to the above sum. Thus there must be at least two vertices of degree 1. Hence every tree with at-least two vertices have at-least two pendant vertices.
- Theorem 8: Show that every tree has either one or two centres.
- Proof: We will use one observation that the maximum distance max d(v, w) from a given vertex v to any other vertex w occurs only when w is pendant vertex.
- Now, let T is a tree with n vertices (n>=2)
- T must have at least two pendant vertices. Delete all pendant vertices from T, then resulting graph T' is still a tree. Again delete pendant vertices from T' so that resulting T" is still a tree with same centers.
- Note that all vertices that T had as centers will still remain centers in T'–>T"–>T"'–>….
- continue this process until the remaining tree has either one vertex or one edge. So in the end, if one vertex is there this implies tree T has one center. If one edge is there then tree T has two centers.
- Theorem 9: Prove the maximum number of vertices at level 'L' in a binary tree is , where L>=0.
- Proof: The given theorem is proved with the help of mathematical induction. At level 0 (L=0), there is only one vertex at level (L=1), there is only
*** QuickLaTeX cannot compile formula: *** Error message: Error: Nothing to show, formula is empty
- Now we assume that statement is true for the level (L-1).
- Therefore, maximum number of vertices on the level (L-1) is
*** QuickLaTeX cannot compile formula: *** Error message: Error: Nothing to show, formula is empty
. Since we know that each vertex in a binary tree has the maximum of 2 vertices in next level, therefore the number of vertices on the level L is twice that of the level L-1.
Hence at level L, the number of vertices is:-
* = .

When the World Cup arrives to a sports bar near you, it's easily the best thing to happen to dating since the smart phone. Something about the impassioned cheering and sweaty team pride makes it a magical month indeed — one that just seems to brim with sexual and romantic promise, am I right? Amen. Sexy soccer players aside, your time is far too precious to waste on the wrong match. It's like showing up to watch Costa Rica versus Brazil only to find a cricket game on TV. Big bummer. That's why Mesh created Dealbreakers. All you have to do is let us know your dating non-negotiables (we all have them, don't be shy) and we'll do the dirty work and filter out anyone who doesn't meet your criteria. To give this a real time World Cup example, John might secretly be Ann Coulter's number one fan. Marjorie may find this quirky when she learns it on date three and the two will travel down a blissful road thumbing through her books on the weekends. On the flipside, Kelly might hang out with John only to horrifyingly find If Democrats Had Any Brains They'd Be Republicans peaking out of his bag and have to leave the date immediately. Looks like Kelly may have identified one of her dating dealbreakers. A first date is a first date. But a first date where you can rest assured the object of your affection isn't secretly harboring one of your dealbreakers is that much more sweet. Don't you agree? After all, we at Mesh want you to score. But while some dating apps out there are only interested in a barrage of possible shots (many times pointless misfires and misguided punts) we want to give your game a little more guidance, so you can win the entire tournament, not just a lousy goal.

He Kissed Me First is my very first Sara Ney and this definitely won't be my last. He Kissed Me First is funny and snarky and OMG the banter was epic!
It's no secret that I love the best friend's brother trope and He Kissed Me First has this trope and the enemies-to-lovers romance! So, here we have Matthew, an annoying hockey player who is Cecelia's roommate's big brother. Naturally, their meet-cute was a disaster and they ended up hating each other until Cecelia's roommate asks her to email her brother.
Now, I do not know why it must be Cecelia who emails the brother when Holly (roommate) could have emailed her brother using her email address if she borrowed Cecelia's phone or laptop. This had me raise my eyebrow with its ridiculousness.
Anyway, with this email, Matt and Cecelia start emailing and bantering and this is where the snark and amazing banter start! And yes, their banter had me laughing out loud! Also, Matt and Cecelia's chemistry was gold! I absolutely love it! He Kissed Me First is also a slow-burn romance and I loved it! Because the banter was so good, the slow-burn romance didn't bother me too much!
I also loved that Matt was the one running after Cecelia! It was sooo cute! And while there were instances that Matt was super immature, I still thought he was endearing!
Let's talk about the audio! He Kissed Me First is read by Amy Melissa Bentley and Alexander Cendese, and I have thoughts! I am not a fan of male narrators who do a falsetto "female" voice and Alexander Cendese used this type of female voice and it was damn annoying and irritating and just baaaah!
Amy Melissa Bentley was an amazing narrator, though! And it just sucks that her awesome narration was damaged by Alexander Cendese's narration. Don't get me wrong, he is an awesome narrator when he uses his MALE voice! When he does his female voice… shudder! This annoys the ef out of me!
Overall, I enjoyed He Kissed Me First even though the male narrator ruined some of the scenes for me. Baaah, why do they DO THIS!

The U.S. Postal Service has warned newspapers that it is a felony to mail material that includes marijuana advertising.
The Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association forwarded the recent federal advisory to its 100 or so members this week. The group's executive director said the association "strongly discourages" Oregon newspapers that rely on the U.S. mail for delivery from accepting "any type of marijuana advertising."
"It is against the law," Laurie Hieb wrote in an email to Oregon newspaper executives this week. "Unfortunately, ONPA cannot do anything about this."
It's not clear what prompted the warning, which was hand-delivered Monday by a Washington postal official to the Chinook Observer, a Long Beach, Wash., newspaper. The newspaper and the Daily Astorian distribute a weekly tab called Coast Weekend, which runs advertisements from a Long Beach dispensary and Oregon Coast dispensaries.
The Long Beach paper has a circulation of about 4,400; about 2,560 subscribers receive the newspapers via the U.S. mail, said Steve Forrester, president of the EO Media Group, which publishes 11 newspapers, including those in Long View and Astoria. Forrester is also publisher and editor of the Daily Astorian.
Forrester said he reached out to U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., for more information about the federal directive. He said he is waiting for more information before deciding whether to continue to run marijuana ads.
"We haven't set a long-term strategy," he said. "We can't until we know more."
Hieb said she's received many calls about the advisory, which she said "has created more confusion than clarity."
The document, dated Nov. 27, warns that the U.S. Postal Service prohibits mailing material that contains marijuana advertisements. The policy cites marijuana's status as a Schedule I controlled substance and says it is "unlawful to place an ad in any publication with the purpose of seeking or offering illegally to receive buy or distribute a Schedule I controlled substance."
The prohibition applies to advertisements for marijuana sold at medical marijuana dispensaries.
Portland Postmaster Shawneen Betha referred questions about the directive to Peter Hass, a postal service spokesman based in Arizona. He issued a statement on Wedneday saying it is a felony for "any person to place in any newspaper, magazine, handbill, or other publications, any written advertisement knowing that it has the purpose of seeking or offering illegally to receive, buy, or distribute a Schedule I controlled substance, which includes marijuana."
Hieb said her counterparts in Colorado have not received a similar warning. A representative of the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association said her association first learned of the warning on Wednesday.
Marcia Van Dyke, executive director of the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association, said newspapers in Washington, where voters approved medical marijuana in 1998, have run marijuana-related advertising without a problem. She said her organization is looking into how to respond.
"Many of our newspapers have been running these ads for a while now in accordance with Washington state law," she said.
Hieb said she does not know how many Oregon newspapers are affected by the warning. She said some publications don't rely on the postal service for delivery. Others have decided against running marijuana advertisements.
"The marijuana issue is so new I think publishers are still trying to figure out if they are going to participate and have marijuana ads in their papers," she said.
Steve Moss, president of the Oregonian Media Group, which publishes The Oregonian, said the newspaper has received the information and was looking into it. The company has accepted marijuana advertising in the past.
According to the latest U.S. Postal Service Statement of Ownership and Circulation, The Oregonian mails, on average, 175 copies of the Sunday newspaper. It mails an average of 186 copies of the weekday edition. The numbers are a fraction of the overall subscribers to The Oregonian.
Jack Orchard, a Portland attorney who represents the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association, said the organization is taking the directive seriously.
He called the warning "an interesting political document," especially since it appears to have come from a Portland-based postal office and not a regional or national office within the postal service.
"Why now?" asked Orchard. "You can say what you want to say about recreational marijuana and the liberalization of marijuana laws in Oregon, but medical marijuana is in widespread use throughout the country and certainly has been part of the Oregon landscape for a long time. The timing of this lends a kind of fascinating political edge to this."
Staff for Wyden and U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., are trying to find out why the advisory was issued, said Nicole L'Esperance, a Blumenauer spokeswoman. She said both are "in discussions with the postal service to seek clarification of what appears to be an outdated interpretation that is understandably puzzling to law-abiding Oregonians and small business owners in the state."
She said said Wyden and Blumenauer "expect an explanation as soon as possible" from the postal service.

Practical tractability of CSPs by higher level consistency and tree decomposition
Constraint Satisfaction is a flexible paradigm for modeling many decision problems in Engineering, Computer Science, and Management. Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) are in general [special characters omitted]-complete and are usually solved with search. Research has identified various islands of tractability, which enable solving certain CSPs with backtrack-free search. For example, one sufficient condition for tractability relates the consistency level of a CSP to treewidth of the CSP's constraint network. However, enforcing higher levels of consistency on a CSP may require the addition of constraints, thus altering the topology of the constraint network and increasing its treewidth. This thesis addresses the following question: How close can we approach in practice the tractability guaranteed by the relationship between the level of consistency in a CSP and the treewidth of its constraint network? To achieve "practical tractability," this thesis proposes: (1) New local consistency properties and algorithms for enforcing them without adding constraints or altering the network's topology; (2) Methods to enforce these consistency properties on the clusters of a tree decomposition of the CSP; and (3) Schemes to bolster the propagation between the clusters of the tree decomposition. Our empirical evaluation shows that our techniques allow us to achieve practical tractability for a wide range of problems, and that they are both applicable (i.e., require acceptable time and space) and useful (i.e., outperform other consistency properties). We theoretically characterize the proposed consistency properties and empirically evaluate our techniques on benchmark problems. Our techniques for higher level consistency exhibit their best performances on difficult benchmark problems. They solve a larger number of difficult problem instances than algorithms enforcing weaker consistency properties, and moreover they solve them in an almost backtrack-free manner.

CPAs enter the workforce with a variety of essential skills. However, most CPAs get into the business to focus on tasks like tax advisement and funds management. Though these services are absolutely essential, becoming a CPA doesn't necessarily mean an individual has to take these jobs. In fact, CPA skills are highly marketable in dozens of other fields. If you're looking for a change of pace or a creative way to apply the skills gained in your certification, see below for a few strategies and suggestions.
Property development
When working on new or existing property, developers and investors need accountants to "run the numbers" on how profitable a type of building might be once completed. "Running the numbers," as it turns out, can be a full-time job. Earning a position as a type of assessor for a development company or city government is an excellent way to apply your skills in a unique setting. CPAs have tools to assess profitability of retail, residential, and general commercial spaces. Put those skills to the test.
Government accountants/auditors
Accountants are utilized by federal, state, and local government for a variety of reasons. They'll audit businesses and individuals and keep tabs on government agency spending. Federal government accountants may work for the IRS, or they may be responsible for auditing branches of government organizations to ensure that financial objectives are met.
Forensic accounting
A combination of CPA and criminal investigator, this type of service or position puts CPAs to work uncovering financial fraud. Companies lose billions each year to fraud, making this an incredibly fast-growing sector. This type of position is often offered within large companies or as part of government law enforcement agencies.
While the above jobs may not be what you have in mind as a CPA, it helps to cast a wide net when looking for positions. If you already work at an established accounting firm, consider expanding your services to include these types of offerings. You'll draw in new business, add marketability to yourself and your company, and earn a profit.

Woongjin Playdoci is an indoor water and snow park located in Bucheon. For those who loved to swim you need not to worry waiting for summer for you can play at this water park year round. Headed out to this attraction on the third day of Chinese New Year holiday, it was a snowy day but absolutely had a great one. Pools, sauna and spa were so great.
Playdoci Water Park has separate pools for kids and adults it also has a spa swimming pool, which I enjoyed so much. The bubbling water on the sides of the pool will calm your muscles. River pool, wave pool and exciting water slides made me scream.
The spot I loved most was the outdoor pool across the spa area. Yes, literally outside on a chilling temperature … and the snow falls! But the water on the pools outdoors was so warm, soothing and relaxing.
This water park is just perfect for winter swimming. Life jackets, which is required to wear and sun beds are available for rent. If you're in a group, there are cottages available for rent giving all of you the comfort of spending time whole day.
Meals vary from 10,000-15,000won but enough to make your stomach full. You do not have to bring cash on the poll area. They will charge all your expenses on your locker key and you'll pay it all when you leave the premises.
Snow Park is on the 2nd floor of the building. We then of course stopped off, as it is included in our discounted tickets. It is also an indoor attraction that includes ski, snowy winter town, Arctic Igloo Park, kids and family sledding.
Direction: Take Line 7 to Samsan Gymnasium and head to exit 1…it's about 8-10minutes walk. You'll not going to miss it as it is located on the end of the road.
Admission: Water park: 40,000 – 50,000won per person
Time:10:00 – 21:00 (year round)
Snow park: 18,900 – 23,900won (also year round)
Try booking on Trazy.com, they offer big discount for water and snow park and comes with easy instruction on your email.

Dear God, from the dog
While pet sitting this week, one of my clients in Scottsdale left this out on the counter for me to read. I thought it was funny, so I am passing it along! Enjoy!
Dear God: Why do humans smell the flowers, but seldom, if ever,
smell one another?
Dear God: When we get to heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or
is it still the same old story?
Dear God: Why are there cars named after the jaguar, the
cougar, the mustang, the colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not
ONE named for a dog? How often do you see a cougar riding around? We do
love a nice ride! Would it be so hard to rename the 'Chrysler Eagle' the
' Chrysler Beagle'?
Dear God: If a dog barks his head off in the forest and no
human hears him, is he still a bad dog?
Dear God: We dogs can understand human verbal instructions,
hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent ID's,
electromagnetic energy fields, and Frisbee flight paths .
What do humans understand?
Dear God: More meatballs, less spaghetti, please
Dear God: Are there mailmen in Heaven?
If there are, will I have to apologize?
Dear God: Let me give you a list of just some of the things I
must remember to be a good dog .
1 . I will not eat the cat's food before they eat it or after
they throw it up .
2 . I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc . , just
because I like the way they smell .
3 . The litter box is not a cookie jar .
4 . The sofa is not a 'face towel' .
5 . The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff .
6 . I will not play tug-of-war with Dad's underwear when he's on
the toilet .
7 . Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is an unacceptable
way of saying 'hello' .< /STRONG>
8 . I don't need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm under
the coffee table .
9 . I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the
house – not after .
10 . I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my
butt .
11 . The cat is not a 'squeaky toy' so when I play with him and
he makes that noise, it's usually not a good thing .
Something Fun…
To be posted VERY LOW on the refrigerator door – nose height for the pooch/kitty:
Dear Dogs and Cats:
The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note: placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry
about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but a scam.
For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by
some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, and try to turn the knob, or
get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years — canine or feline attendance is not required.
The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough!
To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door:
To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets:
1 They live here. You don't.
2. If you don' t want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That's why they call it 'fur'nature.)
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.
Remember: In many ways, dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
1. Eat less
2. Don't ask for money all the time
3. Are easier to train
4. Normally come when called
5. Never ask to drive the car
6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends
7. Don't smoke or drink
8. Don't have to buy the latest fashions
9. Don't want to wear your clothes
10. Don't need a 'gazillion' dollars for college.
And finally,
11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children

Hey there. I want to start of by saying I'm awesome. Yep. I'm awesome. Is that too forward? Oh. Sorry about that. Must be my awesomeness.
Any who... what better way to get to know me than by me answering the most random questions. These questions might be familiar to some of you. These are the same questions I asked my featured bloggers to answer. Here are my responses:
Have you ever made out in a movie theater?
Do you have an innie or outtie?
Do you parallel park or drive around the block?
I will always attempt to parallel park first. After the fifth time of me making a fool out of myself while the hubs is utterly frustrated, I then consider driving around the block.
Do you scrunch or fold your toilet paper?
I use to be a scruncher, but now I am a folder. I feel like I wasted more when I was scruncher. Let's face it, toilet paper isn't cheap!
Did you buy Girl Scout cookies this year?
I did not. The hubs on the other hand did. They get him every time. Those dam girl scouts.
At which store would you like to max-out your credit card?
M.A.C. A girl can never have too much make-up.
Do you sing in the shower?
Yes. Pandora app is my best friend when I'm in the shower. I am sure my neighbors have nominated me for awards. I should probably start looking for a designer dress huh?
What movie do you know every line to?
Dirty Dancing. I know the words to BOTH the movie and soundtrack (double disc original soundtrack). Yeah, I made sure you knew that the soundtrack is double disc. I'm corny.
Have you ever been stuck in an elevator?
Nope. Thank goodness.
Who inspires you?
God. Because of Him, I am on this earth. My mission: make the best of it.

Wellness Chiropractic
The Art Of Chiropractic
Chiropractic doctors spend a vast amount of time and energy learning the art of chiropractic adjustments. An adjustment is a specific force, which, when delivered correctly, corrects spinal misalignments, called 'subluxations'. These subluxations are what causes the interference to the bodies natural healing ability.
Not all Chiropractors are created equally. Some Chiropractors take the art of Chiropractic very seriously. When the Chiropractic adjustment is delivered at the right force, right angle, right intensity, right time and with the right intent – miracles can happen! We, at the C.H.C. take Chiropractic care very seriously! (and we see miracles happen all the time!!)
- Helps to improve nerve communication
- Helps to improve joint motion and coordination
- Helps to relieve neck, back, arm, wrist, shoulder, elbow, leg, knee, and foot pain
- Helps to improve your physical function and posture
What Is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic is a holistic approach to getting and keeping your body healthy. It has been scientifically proven to be effective for lower back pain, neck pain, headaches as well as many other symptoms. Chiropractors do not use drugs; they align and balance the body so that the body heals itself. Although Chiropractic care is extremely effective at solving many symptoms it's true value is much deeper…
The main premise of chiropractic is that the human body has an inborn healing power which is known to flow and function through the nervous system. As long as a persons nervous system is flowing at 100%, that person will be 100% healthy. If there is pressure or interference on a person's nervous system (on the spinal cord or spinal nerves) then that person's health will be less than 100%; the more pressure, the lower that persons capacity for healing.
Chiropractic is an art, a science and a philosophy of health care. It's foundations are centuries old; based on the belief that the power that made the body heals the body! The main goal of Chiropractic care is to remove any and all interference in the body, allowing that individual to return to a state of health and vitality. Simply stated; Chiropractic care allows your body to heal itself.
The Science Of Chiropractic
Chiropractic is firmly based in science. It has been scientifically proven to be effective for many musculo-skeletal conditions such as lower back pain, neck pain and headaches. Chiropractic utilizes that latest in technology to help find and correct spinal subluxations – including x-rays, MRI scan, CT scans and EMG scans. Chiropractic doctors are fully trained to recognize both chiropractic conditions and medical conditions.
Chiropractic doctors have a minimum of 7 years education; this includes 3 years of pre-med sciences at an accredited college or university and 4 years of graduate study in an accredited chiropractic school. The Chiropractic doctor then must successfully pass 4 national board license examinations as well as 1-2 State examinations.
The Philosophy Of Chiropractic
Chiropractic has a rich and comprehensive philosophy with it's roots in holistic health care. It's main premise: the body has an inborn ability to heal and regulate itself. This inborn ability is referred to as a person's innate intelligence. Spinal subluxations cause interference on spinal nerves. These nerves are essential for the body's inborn intelligence to function. Correcting the spinal subluxations reduces and ultimately removes the interference to the innate intelligence which allows the body to heal itself.

The scene is one Livan Hernandez still remembers perfectly…even if it's been over six years. There he was on his knees, looking skyward and pounding his chest with both fists just seconds after the Florida Marlins had wrapped up the 1997 World Championship. A major contributor to the Marlins' title run, Hernandez deserved his share of the spotlight in posting four victories in the League Championship Series and World Series combined. Just 22 at the time, the Cuban-born right-hander became the youngest pitcher ever to win a World Series opener. His reward: World Series MVP. But Hernandez has experienced his share of bumps in the road, posting just two winning seasons since 1998. He's been questioned over the years for his inability to work out of trouble and stay in shape. Last season marked a strong rebound season, though, as Hernandez finished 8th in the majors in Value Over Replacement Player (VORP) among all pitchers. On Tuesday he returns to Pro Player Stadium to handle Opening-Day duties against the Marlins. Montreal's staff ace recently discussed his assignment in Miami, his World Series success and his career in Cuba, among other topics of conversation, with Baseball Prospectus.
Rarely is Miguel Tejada unaccounted for in the Baltimore Orioles' clubhouse. Tejada isn't afraid to make his own fashion statement–even if it's not approved–raise his voice a few decimals, or just chat away until his new teammates have heard enough. By his own admission Tejada relishes being the center of attention, and he's certainly earned that right.
An undrafted free agent out of Bani, Dominican Republic, Tejada signed with the Oakland A's in 1993 wth hopes of following in the steps of his childhood idol, Alfredo Griffin. Over a decade later Tejada is already considerd a member of baseball's top-tier shortstops. But after validating his star-status by winning the 2002 American League MVP Award and being part of the A's recent postseason run, Tejada, who signed a six-year, $72 million deal in the off-season, is ready to begin a new chapter in his career. BP recently interviewed Tejada about saying good-bye to Oakland, swinging the bat in hitter-friendly Camden Yards and patroling the same postion in Baltimore that for years belonged to Cal Ripken Jr..
Alex Rodriguez…Derek Jeter…Jose Reyes? Reyes no doubt trails the left side of the New York Yankees' infield in matinee idol status, but it may not be long before the 20-year-old sets aside a slice of the Big Apple–if he hasn't already. In a 69-game sampling of the big leagues last season Reyes batted .307 with 21 extra-base hits and 13 stolen bases in just 274 at-bats. Reyes, who set a New York Mets rookie record in August with 39 hits, also flashed the leather by not committing an error in his last 35 games. The young Dominican made such an impression that he was mentioned as an early candidate for National League Rookie of the Year honors before missing the final month of the season with a left ankle sprain. Now, the potential All-Star returns for another go-round, with hopes of making Mets fans everywhere remember his name for years to come. Despite having to battle a strained right hamstring that could keep him out of the season opener, Reyes recently discussed his rapid climb through the minor leagues, playing in New York and what's expected of him–among other topics–with Baseball Prospectus.


text: History. 27.1 months, and 23.2 months, respectively. Center failure was seen in 2.6% of individuals, although no GSK429286A cardiac-associated fatalities occurred. Within the TBP subanalysis, the median Operating-system length from treatment initiation and period of disease development were much longer in individuals who continued getting trastuzumab TBP ( 27.8 months and 21.three months, respectively) than in those that stopped (16.8 months and 4.six months, respectively). Nevertheless, the groups weren't completely similar, because individuals who continuing trastuzumab TBP got better prognoses at treatment initiation. The median TTP was much longer in individuals who continuing trastuzumab TBP (10.2 months) than in those that halted (7.1 months). Summary. The Hermine results concur that the pivotal tests of first-line trastuzumab treatment in MBC individuals can be applied in medical practice. The subanalysis shows that trastuzumab TBP provides a success advantage to MBC individuals treated with first-line trastuzumab. = 177). Strategies Study Style and Individuals The Hermine trial was a French multicenter, pharmacoepidemiologic, retrospective and Mouse monoclonal antibody to RAD9A. This gene product is highly similar to Schizosaccharomyces pombe rad9,a cell cycle checkpointprotein required for cell cycle arrest and DNA damage repair.This protein possesses 3 to 5exonuclease activity,which may contribute to its role in sensing and repairing DNA damage.Itforms a checkpoint protein complex with RAD1 and HUS1.This complex is recruited bycheckpoint protein RAD17 to the sites of DNA damage,which is thought to be important fortriggering the checkpoint-signaling cascade.Alternatively spliced transcript variants encodingdifferent isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq,Aug 2011] potential, observational cohort research that was handled GSK429286A by an unbiased medical committee that included three breasts cancer professionals, a pathologist, and an epidemiologist. Relative to French legislation concerning noninterventional studies, the analysis process was validated with the Comit Consultatif sur le Traitement de l'Information en Matire de Recherche dans le Domaine de la Sant and accepted by the Fee Nationale de l'Informatique et des Liberts, which warranties patient confidentiality. Taking part oncologists were attracted from universities, clinics, and cancer centers across France. Within the lack of a nationwide breast cancer tumor oncologist data source, the brands of oncology experts were extracted from a data source maintained with the sponsor (Roche SAS, Neuilly-sur-Seine, France). This data GSK429286A source included 250 breasts cancer specialists currently prescribing trastuzumab. Experts from the data source were selected randomly and asked to retrospectively consist of all females aged 18 years who acquired initial received trastuzumab for MBC between January 1 and Dec 31, 2002; sufferers were discovered via pharmacy information. All sufferers were up to date of the analysis goals. Once in the analysis, sufferers stayed treated and evaluated relative to their oncologists' regular clinical procedures, with trastuzumab implemented as an i.v. infusion either every week or 3-every week. One-year follow-up data had been gathered retrospectively between November 2003 and Apr 2004. Last data (minimal patient follow-up 24 months) were gathered prospectively in March 2005. All data had been collected from individual files and analyzed by the unbiased technological committee; any queries due to this review had been sent to the correct doctors for clarification. A subanalysis from the Hermine research examined final results in sufferers with MBC treated originally with trastuzumab as first-line therapy who eventually experienced disease development and either continuing trastuzumab TBP (for thirty days) or discontinued trastuzumab within thirty days of development. Study Endpoints The principal endpoint was treatment duration with trastuzumab (thought as enough time between initial and last infusion, including beyond disease development). Supplementary endpoints included: mixture therapies with trastuzumab; regularity of, and known reasons for, halting trastuzumab; time and energy to development (TTP); sites of disease development; and overall success (Operating-system). Cardiac protection was also a second endpoint and included obtainable still left ventricular ejection small fraction (LVEF) assessments and noted cardiac occasions. An LVEF 50% was regarded regular. The TBP subanalysis endpoints included duration of trastuzumab treatment, TTP from initiation of treatment, and Operating-system from initiation of trastuzumab and from time of initial development. Statistical Methods To be able to assess trastuzumab treatment duration for GSK429286A an precision of 15 times (utilizing a two-sided 95% self-confidence interval [CI]), it had been computed that 454 sufferers would be needed. This was in line with the assumption of the mean treatment length of 240 times, with a typical deviation of 163 times, as observed in a prior trial [5]. Enabling 10% imperfect data, 500 sufferers were needed. Each oncologist was likely to include a minimum of five sufferers; it had been assumed that 10% of oncologists wouldn't normally complete the analysis, so 110 experts were invited to sign up sufferers. Statistical analyses had been performed using SAS, edition 8.2 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC). Time-to-event data (treatment duration, TTP, Operating-system) were.

I reckon they could both be right.
The star that rules a day, the Heliacal Rising Star, is the one that is last to rise over the eastern horizon before the Sun rises.
For the 4th of March in Washington, the Heliacal Rising Star is entirely appropriate: Deneb Algedi – the Ancient Law Giver, which is to be found in the tail of the constellation Capricornus. Bernadette Brady says: "Deneb Algedi is linked to the symbolism of the law-giving, justice orientated ancient god who is trying to civilise his people. Therefore, matters of justice are a theme of your life, and you are a person who is trying, in some way, to use wisdom and knowledge to protect and help the people around you." Yes, there is a good case that they were using astrology!
Then we move on to 1933, and those foolish people who no longer consulted the heavens. And what do we find for 12pm Jan 20 every four years? Menkar conjunct the ASC - one of the most difficult stars, that makes the President vulnerable to the worst of the collective. And the Heliacal Rising Star is Acumen: 'Suffering at the hands of others; subject to rumours.' "Aculeus and Acumen are the tail of Scorpio, the sting, and are linked to attacks, not only physical, but also mental, verbal or spiritual. Acumen leans towards the small, irritating attacks that can slowly weaken you. So with Acumen in such an important position on the day of your birth, you will feel that your life-path may be filled with attacks or hindrance. It is therefore imperative that you learn to overcome obstacles on your path, whether placed there by yourself or others."
I think Acumen accurately describes what it's like being a leader in a modern democracy. You are constantly subject to attack through an up-to-the-minute media that reaches everyone's home. Indeed it is seen as a healthy part of the democratic process that the leader is constantly under such attack. And you are 'weak' if you can't handle it. Which means having a skin so thick that there isn't much room left for a brain.

Clarification: 1933 was the last presidential inauguration to take place on March 4, a date forming a neat grand trine with the national independence holiday and election day in early November. Yes, I think there were astrological considerations in setting that up.
An important part of the context of this is that, with the country beginning to emerge from the depths of the Depression, the political elite was reorganizing the state as a superpower. It was setting itself up to supplant the British Empire as the dominant global power. The primary axis in the chart for the modernized Presidency—the inauguration of Roosevelt on Jan. 20, 1937—represents this quite well. It has Sun not just at 0 Aquarius but Sun opposite Pluto, and that Pluto is exactly opposite USA natal Pluto—representing concentrated power soon to fully externalized in the world through awesome production of war materiel, death dealing via tactics such as saturation bombing and atomic bombing, corporate organization and political machinations.

ALAMEDA COUNTY — A project to build a 410-acre solar farm on agricultural land north of Livermore just lost a portion of its proposed property, when the landowners backed out of the deal after they were "induced" to sign a document under certain promises, their attorney said.
The attorney for property owners Leland and Mary Stanley sent a "cease and desist" letter to Intersect Power, of San Francisco, ending any negotiations and effectively removing a portion of the couple's 100-acre property from what had been a 410-acre project located about 2.5 miles north of Livermore on unincorporated land. Of those 100 acres, 38 were to be used for the development of the solar installation.
If approved, the project and another nearby 81-acre solar farm proposed by Oakland's SunWalker Energy are expected to provide enough power for up to 25,000 homes and businesses. But opponents of the projects want Alameda County to put the two proposals on hold until the county develops a policy for large-scale solar projects, including where and if they should be allowed.
Intersect Power, the company behind the 410-acre Aramis Renewable Energy Project, said in a statement it does not think removal of the 38-acre Stanley property will affect its overall project.
"We do not anticipate this removal will impact our application to construct the Aramis Renewable Energy Project, or jeopardize it in any way," said Marisa Mitchell, principal of Intersect Power, in a statement.
"Since a lease agreement was never in place with the Stanley family, Intersect Power knew their property may not be included in the project. Not having this smaller site is an economic impact; however, the project is absolutely still viable without it and we look forward to delivering clean, reliable power to Livermore and Bay Area residents soon," she continued in an email statement.
Opponents of the solar farm claim Intersect is now flipping its script. The company has maintained in the past that it needs all 410 acres to be economically viable, or profitable, said attorney Robert Selna, who represents the grassroots Save North Livermore Valley group, which has been vocal in opposing the project.
In an email Mitchell sent to the county in April, obtained by Save North Livermore via a public records request and provided to this newspaper, Mitchell says that if the county were to reduce the size of the project, "It's very likely this project will not be built if we lose 45 acres." The email is referring to a potential reduction in the size of the farm because of any required setbacks. She writes that the project would be "far less economic" and Intersect would have to buy more land to fit the necessary panels on the site.
Opponents also accuse the company of using strong-arm tactics. According to a letter sent from the Stanleys' attorneys, representatives of Intersect visited the Stanleys' home for five hours, going over their lease agreement.
"Perhaps most horrifying," the letter reads, Aramis sent the Stanleys a document ready to sign, with a cash bonus of $75,000 if they signed before Christmas, $25,000 if they signed between Dec. 25 and Jan. 4 and $5,000 between Jan. 5 to 12.
The Stanleys are approaching their 70s, and the Stanley family has been ranching and farming in Livermore since the town was founded in 1869. In a Jan. 11 letter to the county clarifying that the Stanleys will no longer be in negotiations with the solar company, attorney Jacqueline Phillips wrote that Intersect made "representations and promises" to her clients to induce them to sign.
Alameda County supervisors are expected to next month consider an appeal of the project, which was approved by the East County Board of Zoning Adjustments in November. The approval was appealed by three groups — Save North Livermore Valley, Friends of Livermore, and Friends of the Vineyard and Open Space.
One of the main concerns of the opponents is related to Measure D, approved by Alameda County voters in 2000 and which established an "urban growth boundary" in part of the county. The measure restricts development to prevent sprawl from reaching eastern Alameda County and protect agriculture, open space and wildlife. The appeal maintains that the project violates this measure in various ways: Industrial solar is not compatible with agriculture, it says, and points out that Measure D makes clear that any future changes in allowable uses require a vote of the people.
Instead, they would like to see the county move forward with a moratorium on solar farms, and establish a policy on commercial solar projects. In September, Supervisors Scott Haggerty and Nate Miley agreed the county needed a clear policy on large solar projects and where they could be located. They also asked the county staff to craft a policy for the full board to consider later. However, they did not recommend stopping the two Livermore projects at the time.
Newly elected Supervisor David Haubert, who replaced Haggerty and whose district includes this land, is said to have promised a moratorium on new solar plants on agricultural land until the county completes a study on the appropriate scale and operation of solar power farms, according to Save North Livermore Valley. Haubert, and his opponent, Vinnie Bacon, agreed to support a moratorium in October when both were running for the District 1 seat.
Haubert's position, if he stands by it, could put the project on hold until such a study was completed. Haubert could not be reached for comment.

Modernist painter Amrita Sher-Gil has been honoured with a Google doodle today on her 103rd birth anniversary. On its home page, the search engine has posted a depiction of Sher-Gil's famed painting 'Three Girls' created by Jennifer Hom.
To create the final version, Hom has reworked the image to match Sher-Gil's style and signature attention to the tone, texture and color of skin and clothing. "Vivid color, graceful forms, and bold strokes mark the remarkable life and work of Indian painter described as the 'Indian Frida Kahlo'," Google says about her works, which have been declared as National Treasures in India.
The reach of the Google doodle is seen in Argentina, Iceland, Portugal,Lithuania, Serbia, Slovenia, Israel, Kenya, Kazhakstan, Indonesia and Japan besides India.
Sher-Gil is considered among the most important Indian painters of the 20th century. Like her Mexican peer Kahlo, with whom she shares Hungarian heritage, Sher-Gil was a rebellious and adventurous spirit who broke barriers in art and life.
Born in 1913 to a Sikh father and Hungarian mother in Budapest, the artist was influenced by both eastern European and South Asian styles and standards of female beauty. She studied and practiced in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, where she got her start as an artist and life consummate bohemian.
After returning to India, she painted many portraits of her family and friends, the most notable being "The Three Girls."
A total of 95 of the 174 documented works she created over the course of her brief career are held in the collection of the National Gallery of Modern Art.
The painter passed away on December 5, 1941 before the age of twenty-nine.

Offering to Srila Prabhupada
by Bhakta dasa
I offer my infinite dandabats at the feet of my eternal divine master Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who has most mercifully brought the Savior of the Kali Yuga Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's glorious message to the the entire world through his full surrender to the order of his Divine Master Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur.
In your final pastimes in our presence, you would say to us as you were laying on your bed, "DO NOT THINK THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN TO YOU..." We were young children, and although we heard your words, it seems we really did not fathom that we were still under the control of eternal time.
We have past our lives so frivolously and wasted not minutes, or hours or days, but we have wasted years of our precious lives hovering in the dream that we will somehow do what no one has ever done before and achieve happiness in family, friendship and love.
Oh, Srila Prabhupada, what fools we are to again and again get trapped by the illusory energy of Lord Krishna. How will you forgive us for being such fools? You warned us that our strength is in our unity, like a bunch of sticks together could not be broken, but a single stick easily breaks. My prayer is all those who profess faith in Lord Goursundar will unite in one overwhelmingly powerful spiritual army, realizing fully that Guru is One because Krishna is One. By your blessings can all the sectarian defects in us be removed, and the blazing fire of pure devotion like a tidal wave flood the hearts of all the suffering Jivas.
As you used to tell us when we would ask you, "Srila Prabhupada, what should we do if there is a huge earthquake and California sinks in the sea?" You would reply, "CHANT HARE KRISHNA!"... There is no other way, no other way, no other way!
Srila Prabhupada, I see in today's world so much facility for delivering HARE KRISHNA to the fallen souls. Yet, I see that we have failed to utilize. Why do we not have satellites broadcasting the transcendental sound through the ethers into the homes and offices of everyone on this earth like the Christians and Muslims? Why are we not filling football stadiums with one Lakh or more for gigantic kirtans?
Why are we continuing to argue 26 years after your disappearance about what your orders are? Your orders were never in doubt to me at least. If I am an obedient disciple, then I carry your potency, and if I am disobedient, then I am not. Srila Prabhupada, you wrote that the "highest realization is to save yourself." We so easily think that we are already freed from the clutches of illusion, but the reality is the opposite.
Srila Prabhupada, personally I have never one doubt in you. My troubles are all my own making, my stubbornness in trying to remain adverse to the almighty. I am a diseased soul and I am helpless and I know that there is no way out of my delusion other than your blessings, your causeless mercy.
I beg you to not toss me away. I beg you to remember whatever small service I have tried to offer to you, and I beg you to keep me eternally connected with you birth after birth. I pray that one day again you will grace me with a smile when you are again pleased by my service mood.
I pray Srila Prabhupada that your vision for every home to become a temple and for the people on this earth to be happy with simple living and high thinking will be manifest very soon.
Your eternal servant,
Bhakta dasa

I didn't shop on Black Friday. I actually finally went to the mall tonight because I figured it would be safe by 5pm. (I may have been right about this – Santa was sitting alone killing time until he could put up the "feeding the reindeer" sign for the night.)
I had to return an item at JC Penny and check something at Macy's. It's very festive at the mall. The system at Penny's played "Mele Kalikimaka," which I actually consider a sad excuse for a Christmas song. Not a fan. I made my return, and headed over to Macy's. While I perused the clearance rack, I was stunned to hear Mele Kalikimaka again. A different version of course. Creepy, right?
Eventually I left Macy's to trek back through the mall to get back to my car. And as I crossed through the doorway back into the mall… Mele Kalikimaka was playing. Because CLEARLY MY LIFE IS A LIVING HELL.
And that's why I avoid the mall during the holidays.

Why is Identity important?
It is important because the true Identity has fundamentally nothing whatsoever to do with the pattern of intellectual thought-structures associated with your personality.
Identity has to do with accepting those thought-structures that are known to be constant
because they come from the realm of the Limitless – Source.
– Kenneth G. Mills, Question and Answer Encounters, p. 3.

text: The train journey is extremely scenic, with numerous rice fields and the occasional tea garden towards the last leg of the journeyI was soon called back to the bungalow for some tea and afternoon snacks. Once again, curled up in my book, I just let myself sit back and lose myself in the moment, savouring my food and tea. Although I got to spend just two days at the bungalow itself, those were magical two days unlike any other. One of my best memories was during the night, after dinner. I was lucky enough to witness a full moon during the visit, the silvery rays shining down on acres and acres of tea estate in front of me created some surreal memories! True to his word, our guide took us to another part of the tea garden next day where active tea-picking was going on, and also to their tea factory to witness the tea processing.

Mary Johnson,
Horseracing Wrongs
January 2018
You never have to incriminate the racing industry because they are perfectly capable of incriminating themselves.
About a year and a half ago, Ms. Jen Roytz, a paid mouthpiece for the racing industry, wrote a Paulick Report Aftercare Spotlight "story" entitled "12 YEAR OLD BOY CLAIMS 12 YEAR OLD HORSE FOR RETIREMENT." That horse was Good Credentials. I'm sure everyone is always up for a "feel-good story," especially when it surrounds a 12-year-old horse getting his "retirement."
However, this "story" was a bit different because it venerated the boy's
parents, George Iacovacci and Kelly Spanabel. Frankly, I was horrified that
this couple would be given the amount of praise depicted in the article. I
reached out to Ms. Roytz and asked her how well she knew Iacovacci and
Spanabel, and she quickly replied back that she didn't know them personally
at all. However, she had heard conflicting reports on them, including one
from a close personal friend of hers. But she said the article focused on
their son, and she didn't feel that the negative publicity about the couple
was relevant. "Relevant"? Read on.
I first met Iacovacci and his partner, jockey Kelly Spanabel, at Beulah Park well over twelve years ago. I can tell everyone that neither is quite as wonderful as depicted in the article. Everything I state here can be documented and none of it paints a pretty picture. All of the following were owned/trained by Iacovacci:
SUNDER BAY Iacovacci raced him with a bowed tendon. 90% of the tendon and ligament was torn away from the bone. Joy Aten was involved in buying him from George and he was euthanized due to the severity of his injuries.
ONE HUNDRED LAUGHS - Iacovacci raced him three weeks before the horse was "rescued" and retired to a well-known farm in Kentucky. When he arrived at this farm, he was so weak and emaciated that he fell out of the trailer and the farm's vet felt he might have to be euthanized. Again, he was raced three weeks prior to arriving at this farm. He did recover. His Shedrow Secrets story can be found here.
ACADEMY DANCER I was asked by a CANTER coordinator to pick Dancer up at Beulah Park. When I arrived, Spanabel was babbling that the horse had "bruised" his shoulder in his last race. I brought AD into my barn and fostered him for a few days until Nancy Koch came down to Columbus and picked him up and hauled him back to Cleveland. Upon further evaluation, it was discovered that he was running with a fractured sesamoid. CANTER paid for his surgery and he was adopted out.
Academy Dancer
SAY YES DEAR This horse was still in training when a group of us were able
to "buy" him from Iacovacci. Since he was a Kentucky-bred, we were able to
get him into the Kentucky Equine Humane Center. After 2 1/2 months of
downtime, it was ultimately determined that Say Yes Dear should be
euthanized due to the severity of his injuries.
WINDS OF LOVE This horse had to be euthanized within two weeks of racing due to the complete breakdown of his ankles. His Shedrow story can be found here.
Three more Iacovacci horses who had to be euthanized due to the severity of their injuries: Buckflanker (according to one site, two fractured knees), Magic Conqueror and Whitmark. Whitmark's knees were so bad he couldn't lay down. Three more animals run into the ground. But who cares when there is a heartwarming story to be told. (Spanabel was the last jockey to ride five of the above eight horses.)
Now, I want to share a very personal story about the couple. About twelve years ago, I was contacted by the CANTER coordinator at Beulah, Chris Colflesh, and she told me that Iacovacci had two horses that he wanted to "get rid of." If someone didn't buy the horses, they would go to Sugarcreek. Of course, I decided to step up and buy both. Chris said that George wanted $1,000 for them, so I took $1,000 cash to the track and handed it over to Iacovacci. Both horses came home with me. Applejack was thin, lame and had patches of hair falling off his body. Harvey was thin with ribs visible.
Harvey OR Mister to You?
Iacovacci told me that Harvey was a QuarterHorse, but he was actually a
Thoroughbred by the name of Mister to You. Applejack was a Saddlebred.
Although Iacovacci told me that they had been his grandkids' horses and the
children had outgrown them, I later discovered that both horses had been
sent to an auction in Indiana when a mounted police force had been
downsized. Three of the unit's horses ended up at auction: Harvey, Applejack
and a horse named Junior. I spoke to one of the officers who rode Harvey and
reassured him that two of the three had landed in a really good place. No
one knows what happened to Junior. Applejack was with me for a little over
eight years and was humanely euthanized with me by his side and buried on my
farm. Harvey went to the Cleveland area and was adopted into a good home.
You never have to incriminate the racing industry because they are perfectly capable of incriminating themselves. Below there are links to two Paulick Report articles. In them, you will read about Star Plus, a horse who was supposed to be retired from racing but instead ended up with Spanabel/Iacovacci. They ran him four times after it had been determined that he should never race again due to a "severe ankle injury." Days before a hearing with WV racing officials, Spanabel, on her FB page, said that "Star Plus was being sold to overseas interests and that his racing career would continue [in Belize]."
Spanabel went on to say: "Good luck Star. He left this afternoon on his long journey out of the country. I hope they take care of you. Forced to send you where you can race and won't be harassed." Harassed? Can you imagine the audacity of these people? As it turned out, Spanabel was lying: SP had never left for Texas in order to be shipped out of the country. She and her partner had held Earle Mack, SP's previous owner, hostage the same as George Iacovacci had done to me. The upshot here is that these are not good people, and that Jen Roytz needs a lesson in responsible journalism (this is not her first time appearing on this site). Oh, and the Paulick Report should look up the definition of ethical consistency.

Isaiah 5:1-7; Psalm 80:1-2, 8-18; (or Jeremiah 23:23-29; Psalm 82); Hebrews 11:29-12:2; Luke 12:49-56
"Division has done more to hide Christ from the view of men than all infidelity that has ever been spoken." – George MacDonald
What's the good news here? What could Jesus possibly be talking about in saying that he came to bring division and not peace (Luke 12:51)? Did he forget that he once said that he gives us peace (John 14:27), and that he once prayed to the father that we all be one united (John 17:21)? Or was it only John who remembered Jesus saying these uplifting things while Luke was out picking up pizza for dinner? Jesus probably said both. He talked about peace so much that it is very likely that he desired us to be at peace and united with each other. On the other hand Jesus knew that sadly the result of following him would cause division. Look at history. It is similar to a gay or lesbian, for the sake of truth and love, coming out to their parents. This has caused much division and rejection in families. Or it is similar to a member of a dedicated military family speaking out publicly against whatever the current war may be raging. This effort at truth speaking can cause a lack of peace in that family. Jesus said the truth will set us free (John 8:32). But he also knew it would be hard and divisive. Jesus wanted peace, yet today's gospel is a reality check. But it seems that many Christians take this passage about Jesus coming to bring division as if it were a commandment. Be divided in the name of God. Just look at all the unnecessary and petty conflicts and splitting up in our churches. We do not seem to have much tolerance for ambiguity and paradox in our relationships. Unity does not mean walking in lockstep, all thinking identical thoughts. The more we embrace diversity the closer we will be to unity. Even the one God is diverse (Father, Son and Holy Spirit.)
In Luke 12:51 Jesus says that he came to bring "division." This is the once and only place in the whole New Testament that this Greek noun is used. It comes from a more common Greek verb meaning "to divide" or "to separate." Now that verb is one of Luke's favorite words used move in his gospel than the whole rest of the New Testament. Did perhaps Luke have some falling out with his own personal family as a result of his following Jesus?
