Have you ever walked past a well camo-ed hunter while turkey hunting, look away for a second, then look again for a moment and lose sight of him?
All of a sudden — disappeared.
You look away for a moment, then look back.
It takes a couple seconds to focus, and sort things out to see the hulking human shape up against the tree.
It's a funny feeling, and a bit disquieting when we look but can't see.
It drives home a lesson.
Trust your camouflage.
And this phenomenon of the disappearing hunter can happen in pole-timber, field edges, even wide-open parks with big trees, not just in thick, brushy cover.
However, there are two caveats to the invincibility of good camo, one being that we need to remain perfectly still and the other is a big "if." "If" there are no "holes." (And I don't mean the old torn kind … which I have a bunch of and they can be OK.)
Oh, how far we've come.
I've worn out a lot of sets of camo.
Funny to remember back on that first spring turkey hunt, now over (gulp) 45 years ago. Back then the birds were a lot easier to call in than they are now. But for most of us, our actual hunting and calling skill was about on par with the tom's ability to elude us.
So it was still kind of a wash.
And we got better over the years.
But so did they.
That first season with the first box call (an old trusty Lynch) had a sticker with the astronomical retail price of $6.95, (now they are $35.) Its first game-time clucks came out from the center of the top of a large deadfall left there by loggers. And I had only one shooting hole where the old 16-gauge Le Fever double-barrel poked through.
You'd think that the Indians were attacking, or I was in the Alamo.
(But actually, not too far in conception from today's popular and ubiquitous moveable ground blinds.)
But back then, there were only a couple "camo" patterns on the market and they weren't all that effective compared to today's state-of-the art camouflage.
A hunter with good camo nowadays doesn't need to crawl into a virtual hole. But ground blinds are the thing these days. But some of us still prefer to be mobile.
Back then in the Seventies, turkey hunting in New York State was a brand new sport and nobody was "an expert." Many have forgotten, but the first New York state gobbler season was in 1968. Only two counties were open, one being Allegany and the other Cattaraugus.
Two years later after that initial season, a pair of gobblers were drawn in to that old striker's yelps on that distant morning outside of Wellsville. But like yesterday, those two toms stood next to that downed tree gobbling and gobbling and gobbling.
Every time I ran a yelp, they'd gobble.
Every time I even touched the box with the striker, just one little putt, they'd gobble.
After a while, they were so wound up that even if I moved, and made a little noise by shifting my weight in the dry leaves, cramped in that hole under those limbs, they'd gobble.
But the two toms would not walk past my shooting hole.
As soon as one of those birds gobbled, the other would sound off.
All that gobbling nowadays would bring in other hunters.
But back then, there were very few other spring gobbler hunters.
Those gobblers crunched leaves loudly.
Sounded like a man walking.
Had to be close.
Just walk into the right spot.
Heart was pounding, adrenaline pumping, afraid to breathe.
The side-by-side's barrels rested on a log, pointing out of that hole in the limbs of the old downed "top."
A cannon stuck out of the hole in the fort.
Finally, and evidently bored with "the hen" under the downed top, the two birds slowly ambled away, still gobbling, every once in a while.
And they never did walk in front of that "shooting hole" in the old deadfall.
Of course I tried to call them back in, learning that early lesson that being "too well hidden" was as detrimental to success and filling a tag as not being well-hidden enough.
Now we have learned to trust our camouflage, down to every detail, from face-mask to boots.
A good way to test your camo is to set up a camera, or have a hunting buddy snap a couple shots of your setup. Check out the photos and see where your camo needs improvement. Gun barrel glints? Face mask opening too big? That white undershirt has to go, etc.
Last season's tom, now many years after the two gobblers "circled the wagon," was headed for a logical spot, a slight rise in the surrounding open timber, off to the side.
On last year's hunt there were no brush piles, logs, or even large trees wider than the width of a man's shoulders to set up against.
Just wide open timber.
Trust the camo.
But there is always a little worried voice inside that says, "we are just sitting here, right out in the open. Surely the turkey will see us.
If one thing is wrong; one gleam off the gun's receiver, a glint off a buckle, a flash of color from under a sleeve's cuff, the "ball game's over."
Then that bird is history.
But try as he might, that big old bird couldn't see us. Of course he was looking for love in all the wrong places and his little walnut-sized brain being a bit distracted with all kinds of hormones running through it.
He appeared like a big, black, glistening blob, fitted with a small red head and a swinging black beard like a thick rope. He would pause occasionally, stretch up his head, look, begin to fan his tail, and then sneak closer on an angle.
Finally, just two steps closer, he eased into range with his head clear between two saplings.
And as he did, the old gobbler would look, but he could not see.
The paper New York State tag was zip-tied on his leg, just above the spur and below the knee joint.

EDGECOMB — A rocking chair, not a podium, was placed in front of a crowd of students, parents and alumni who welcomed Nancie Atwell back to the Center for Teaching and Learning after she won the first Global Teacher Prize – and the $1 million that came with it – in Dubai on Sunday.
The school's gymnasium, called the "Barn," was set up with rows of pillows for student seating Friday, conveying the atmosphere of the school's reading room rather than that of a news conference.
"I was so homesick for you guys," Atwell said.
Students cheered and jumped up from their pillows to hug Atwell. After students showered her with spring daffodils and tulips, the educator described her experiences in Dubai and the whirlwind she had been on since winning the prize and returning to Maine on Monday.
"Dubai is so beautiful, but it's not beautiful like Maine. It's like Venus," Atwell told the group, which included nearly 50 alumni and parents. Atwell showed seashells she collected while wading in the Persian Gulf and planned to give to a student with a seashell collection.
U.S. Sens. Angus King and Susan Collins each sent a representative to congratulate Atwell, as did Heinemann Publishing, which awarded the school's library a $1,000 gift card for children's and young adult books.
Atwell, who founded the private, nonprofit K-8 Center for Teaching and Learning in 1990, said only five people on the selection committee knew she had won the award before the ceremony, and had taken to referring to educators by code names to avoid accidentally revealing the winner prematurely. Her code name was initially "Bob," but the committee later took to calling Atwell "Dumbledore," after Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of the fictional Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Harry Potter books.
"'You're kind of a smart old scoundrel like he is,'" Atwell said a committee member told her.
The award is given by the Varkey GEMS Foundation, a philanthropic arm of Global Education Management Systems, which operates private K-12 schools around the world. The award is given to a teacher who is judged on "how they open up their pupils' minds, how much they contribute to the community, and how much they encourage others to become teachers," according to the Varkey website.
Atwell beat out 5,000 nominees from 26 countries for the prize given to "one exceptional teacher who has made an outstanding contribution to the profession," according to the website.
The 5,000 nominees were winnowed in December to a group of 50 educators from which 10 finalists were chosen in February and invited to Dubai for Sunday's ceremony.
The award was presented by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, vice president and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates and the ruler of Dubai. Former President Bill Clinton, honorary chairman of the Varkey Foundation, also was there.
Atwell doesn't know who nominated her, only that it was a former student.
Atwell's focus on reading and writing in the school's curriculum is partly what prompted her nomination. Alum Lilly Richardson, now a high school junior at Erskine Academy in South China, believes Atwell's philosophy of allowing students to choose their own books to read, rather than requiring every student to read the same literature, created a hunger for reading that she didn't have before she attended the school. Richardson said Atwell and the Center for Teaching and Learning influenced her career trajectory.
"Teaching is something I'm considering," she said. "Not until I came here and saw the teachers demonstrating that it could be a fun job did I ever think it would be something I'd enjoy."
Parents said they, too, see a difference in the school's approach compared to traditional public and private schools. Dolores Carbonneau said she chose the school for her daughter, Sophia, in part because of Atwell's emphasis on critical thinking.
"She doesn't fit everyone into the same mold, she's a fantastic innovator against the modern trend of No Child Left Behind, and national standardized testing," Carbonneau said.
Atwell said she will disburse the $1 million prize in $100,000 installments to the school over 10 years. The funds are likely to help pay for a new roof, carpeting, heaters and other facility improvements. Atwell said the center has no plans to expand the school beyond the 80 students currently enrolled, to ensure that the close student-teacher relationships are maintained.
"And no, there will be no pool," Atwell joked with the students.

ENGLAND'S capital experienced a taste of Hampshire last weekend.
Food group Hampshire Fare took a taste of the county to London's Borough Market.
Market Hall was taken over by 16 Hampshire food and drink producers during the two-day event with market goers able to sample and buy produce including wasabi, watercress, wine, trout, cheese, gin, biltong, oils and fish cakes.
Hampshire ingredients were showcased in the demo kitchen with recipes cooked up by Borough Market's consultant chef Hayden Groves and James Harper from The Watercress Company.
Nancy Judge, PR officer at Hampshire Fare, said: "Hampshire has definitely been the buzz word here at Borough Market. It has been brilliant to talk to food lovers from all over the world about the quality of Hampshire produce.
"People have gone away understanding that we make award-winning wines, that we are home to beautiful chalk streams, that watercress is a versatile superfood, that we are the only place wasabi is grown in the UK and so much more.
"Many people didn't realise how close Hampshire is to London and lots picked up our Hampshire Food Festival guides hoping to make it to one of the events happening this July."
Market goers also had the opportunity to enter to win a stay in Hampshire.

Setup Debian Server for May First/People Link
The process for setting up a new MFPL shared server is now automated via new server setup scripts.
These scripts are all designed to be run from your local workstation, not from the server being worked on.
- Virtual machine created, with debian lenny installed
- ssh installed on server and local machine
- pwgen installed on local machine
- It's best if the mysql root password is set to "" on the server, it will be changed to something more secure
To setup a new server:
- checkout the admin svn repository.
- Add the server to the servers-available and then create a symlink to servers-enabled
- Change into the admin/scripts directory
cd admin/scripts
- Run the execute-directive command, passing the name of your target server (the hostname, not fully qualified domain name) and "standard" to indicate that it should install all directives in the standard profile:
./execute-directive <server-name> standard
- Add the server to the list of mail servers in village. Village is available via svn. The file to edit is trunk/village/ihtml/main.ihtml.
- Add the server to the server lists for both Horde/Imp and Squirrel mail by editing the following files:
stallman:/usr/share/squirrelmail/plugins/multilogin/config.php stallman:/usr/local/share/horde-live/imp/config/servers.php

Mods/Installing mods using ModLoader
|The contents of this page are not supported by Mojang Studios or the Minecraft Wiki.
|This page describes content that exists only in outdated versions of Minecraft.
ModLoader is no longer supported.
Before the player decides to modify their copy of Minecraft, it is very important to understand what they are doing or they may end up messing up with the copy. (If your copy of Minecraft is compromised, you can always backup your worlds and re-download Minecraft) If you mod Minecraft, you may break your copy of the game as well as any worlds that you play in. Because you are doing something that is wholly unsupported by Mojang, they won't be able to help you.
Due to how modding works, updating the Minecraft client will break your mods. That is, with each update of the Minecraft client, you will have to obtain updated mods and re-install them. However, the worlds you created will not be destroyed (although any mod items in your world will not be present).
Additionally, the authors of the mod make no guarantees as to whether or not the code works, much less any guarantees of support.
Nearly all mod packs have auto-installers that make adding mods to Minecraft extremely easy for the beginner Modder. You can search for mod packs on the Mods page.
Installation Tools and Prerequisites[edit]
Before installing any mod, read the entire description provided by the mod author, as these will sometimes contain special instructions necessary to ensure the mod installs correctly. Further, be aware that while installing mods, certain combinations will present conflicts, which is what occurs when a mod does not work well with another mod due to overwrites or edits that are incompatible. Mod authors will sometimes include specific mods that have known conflicts in their descriptions, but generally common sense may be utilized, for example, a texture mod will likely conflict with another texture mod that edits the same objects. If you experience a bug and have determined that it is unique to your mod setup, it is recommended to submit a detailed bug report to the author of the mod.
Mods typically come packed in compressed files, which means you will need a tool to handle these files such as WinRAR, 7-Zip, or another equivalent tool. Alternatively, Forge or MCPatcher are installation tools that can assist with the installation process.
If your copy of Minecraft breaks, then you should seek help from somebody in the modding community (preferably the mod author).
How Mods Work[edit]
.jar file on the versions folder under .minecraft provides everything Minecraft needs to be able to run. When you add mods to Minecraft, you are taking the
.jar file and over-writing it with the changes needed. All of these files inside run through a process called obfuscation.
Furthermore, everything in the game (mobs, items, blocks, etc.) has an ID which allows the game to differentiate each of them. As new content is added to Minecraft, new IDs are used.
- Notes
- This is fundamentally changing the way Minecraft was meant to be played. So Mojang will not be able to help you in any way, and are not responsible for crashes, data loss, etc.
- Some mods might claim to do something, but could in fact have been authored with a malicious intent such as stealing your Minecraft username/password, or install a keylogger. This is only a concern if:
- The mod that you download contains an executable and you run it.
- The mod that you download informs you that you should modify the Minecraft launcher
- If the mod that you wish to install involves neither of these actions then you should feel quite secure. If not, a good measure of safety is to only install mods from a secure and safe website. Make sure to read the comments on mod posts before downloading and installing.
- When Minecraft is updated, all mods need to be re-updated by their authors and re-downloaded and placed into the folder, because the launcher downloads a legit copy of Minecraft from Mojang when it updates. If a mod uses an ID number that Mojang uses in the update, this will cause further issues, and your world might look weird, or potentially be completely broken and unusable. Mod authors do this of their own free will, and it can take weeks for them to update. However, this doesn't mean you should harass the author about it.
- If two mods do similar things, they will likely be incompatible, because they will both try to change the same thing (this can be fixed; nowadays, mods come with a properties file to change block and item IDs to fix conflicts)
- You may be adding new entities to your worlds, so if you ever have to remove the mods (say because of a Minecraft update), that world will no longer be compatible.
Downloading Mods[edit]
Always be careful when downloading mods. Make sure you download them from the original source to minimize the risk of viruses and be careful with running anything you download on your computer.
Custom Mods[edit]
There are many mods that require other mods to work, because they use some of the code these other mods give. These are known as utility mods. These include Minecraft Forge and Liteloader. These utility mods will need to be installed with the mod before Minecraft is run. Without them, the mod will not work and can even lead to Minecraft crashing. A much more extensive list of mods can be found here.
Mod authors may give a configuration file to change item IDs. Find the conflicting ID, and change it. Just remember that when an update for Minecraft or the mod comes out, you must use the same item IDs, else the game will crash.
Making Backups[edit]
If the player wants to test a mod without any risk, simply backup .minecraft. Restoring it will revert everything to a pre-modded state (including your worlds).
If the player are going to mod in a more persistent and complex fashion then themselves should keep the following in mind:
- Back up your worlds at
- If the player have had previous mods installed, back up the
.jarfile too, so as not accidentally uninstall mods.
- If the player wish to potentially keep the stats and achievements safe, backup the directory
- Do not put custom mod only items in chests if you wish to access that world again from an unmodified version of Minecraft. It is possible that if you do so, when you remove the mod and then try to open or break the chest, Minecraft might crash. If you do this accidentally, you can stand on top of the chest, and type in
/setblock ~ ~-1 ~ air. It will remove the chest and the items inside it without crashing the game.
Backing up your worlds should be done every time you install a new mod.
Installing Mods[edit]
Before 1.6[edit]
- Press ⊞ Win+r.
- Type in
- Open bin and you will see minecraft.jar.
- Open the
.jarfile using an archive software (recommended 7-Zip). To do this, right-click on minecraft.jar and hover to the Open With menu item.
- Copy the class files into this folder. Exit the folder once you have copied the class files.
- Certain mods will require you to copy files into other directories. Follow the instructions on your download for clarification on where to copy files to.
- Go to Applications > Utilities and open Terminal.
- Type in the following, line by line:
- Outside Terminal, create a folder named mctmp.
- Copy all the files and folders into the mctmp directory.
- Back in Terminal, type in the following:
cd ~ mkdir mctmp cd mctmp jar xf ~/Library/Application\ Support/minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar
rm META-INF/MOJANG_C.* jar uf ~/Library/Application\ Support/minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar ./ cd .. rm -rf mctmp
Linux: You will need to find minecraft.jar located in ~/.minecraft/bin/.
- From Nautilus (or most other file browsers), press ctrl+H to see hidden folders the navigate to .minecraft.
- If in the console, type,
ls -a ~/and you will find the .minecraft directory.
- If in the console, type,
- Navigate to the bin folder.
- Open the
.jarfile using an archive software.
- Copy the class files into this folder. Exit the folder once you have copied the class files.
- Certain mods will require you to copy files into other directories. Follow the instructions on your download for clarification on where to copy files to.
Any OS: On most operating systems, you can click the Texture packs button on Minecraft's main menu which will open the .minecraft folder. Simply navigate to the parent folder to get into the root of the .minecraft directory.
1.6 and above[edit]
It is recommended to install mods via Minecraft Forge when installing mods for Minecraft 1.6 and above.
Dealing with Crashes[edit]
- Running Minecraft in command line mode to get a stack trace.
- Posting the stack trace on the website/forum/thread of the mod author(s).
- If the game still crashes, refer to the next section to restore your Minecraft and worlds.
- Restart Minecraft.
Fixing Minecraft[edit]
If you have encountered a crash like above, then this section might help you.
Deleting Mods[edit]
There are three ways to delete mods from Minecraft.
- Go into
.minecraft/modsand remove the mod from the folder. If the mods folder does not exist, then refer to the next way.
- Restore your version of Minecraft, making sure to keep your worlds.
- Force update. You can do this by deleting the
.jarfile and re-downloading the game from the launcher.
Fixing Crashes[edit]
To fix a crash, consult the following problem solving list:
- Have you deleted the META-INF folder inside the
- Forgot ModLoader?
- Do your mods have conflicting block or item IDs? If so, most mods have a properties file to change the block and item IDs.
- Look in modloader.txt to see what block ID(s) are conflicted. If the file does not exist, then you have not used ModLoader.
- Is the mod made for your version of Minecraft?
- Have you installed the dependencies for the mod?
- Do you have the right version of Modloader?
- Do you have the right version of the mod?
- Are you SURE you installed the mod correctly? (consult any README file in the mod)
Restoring Minecraft[edit]
If you have backed up your .minecraft folder, then you have to delete or remove the modded .minecraft folder and placing the backed up folder into where you have deleted the modded folder.

A new style of bike racing is coming to Powell River this weekend. The first-ever Powtown CX Classic takes place Sunday, September 22, at Willingdon Beach. Cyclocross is a form of racing that involves many laps of a short course on different terrains, including pavement, wooded trails, grass, steep hills and obstacles.
"It's one of the most exciting cycling events because it combines road racing and mountain biking," said co-organizer Graham Cocksedge. "The more diverse the terrain you race on the better the race course."
The event is being organized by Brooks Secondary School teachers Chris Bratseth and Cocksedge, together with Justin Bailey of Taws Bike Garage. Any proceeds from the event will go to the Brooks Outdoors Club.
A free training clinic took place on September 11, giving participants a primer on some of the techniques involved in cyclocross racing. For example, riders quickly dismount and carry their bikes while navigating obstructions and then remount. One of the great benefits of the style of racing is that it is accessible to all ages and most fitness levels, according to Cocksedge.
"It's a short race, 30 to 45 minutes, so it's good for everybody in the sense that you don't have to be super fit or trained, and it's great because it can be a family event," he said. "There are categories right down to five years old and up to masters and everybody can watch everybody else so it's very inclusive."
The visibility of the course makes it an especially exciting race to watch, said Bailey.
"It's the best spectator event that you can go to on a bike," he said. "It's not like you see someone go by and don't see them for another half hour. A lot of times you can stand in one spot and see the majority of the course and what's going on."
There are no specific rules on the style of bike participants ride for a cyclocross event, although cyclocross or mountain bikes are best suited. Riders of road bikes may find the course quite difficult, said Cocksedge.
"Come and ride any bike you want," he added. "All bikes and levels welcome."

Benjamin Disraeli stated determining baby gender succinctly when he instituted as, "Every man has the right to be conceited until your man is successful. " While obviously not often covered written rule or law about some being an egoist, there are few character traits that are as unattractive from a leader as being egotistic. No one wants to be someone who seems to always brag, and the greatest leaders can provide understood that successful leadership is never about the leader little, but rather about the most effective way successfully he leads. Successful leadership should be defined as moving a company forward toward its holes, vision and mission, and communicating transparently and certainly, thus motivating others in order to the lead, and about taking a leader's vision as his very own.
1. One of the techniques I always discuss in the leadership training programs that We had been conducting for over a couple of decades, is communication, and what I reach the forbidden words/ points. Great leaders, for analogy, must never use the words, problem, to discuss regarding troubling and potentially crazy circumstance or obstacle. They have to always consider how properly as the listener is visualizing average pay being said, and thus avoid these kinds of negative imaging words or even items. Perhaps the most dangerous negative it is precisely what avoided is for leaders to continuously try to remind others what bigger accomplished, or what mark thinks, or how great he's got. Rather, the great leaders must amount of reliability positive scenario where launch date and potential followers construct a yearning for belonging, his or her growth create a niche at about a organization. No one really cares this particular will do for you, and especially what you will need to your legacy to be, but rather they love why they should love the organization.
2. Egotistical leaders that the first ones that can be played the blame game. They rarely take any personal responsibility at your dysfunction or negative situation, but rather claim to work as the protectors and another individual is to blame and responsible for the problem! These kinds of individuals rarely sincerely thank others in just their efforts, and seem to get attitude that others ought of do things for them!
3. Extreme leaders are those that always step forward first, can see a potential and future need, and use their efforts to advance their organization forward with accomplishing greater heights. People like to follow someone who a new stand, and that consider has the integrity to stand up for their stories. Too many false leaders are usually more concerned with what they perceive as popularity, not which the true measure joined effective leadership is an improvement, vision, ideas, foresight, will also be necessary.
Egotistical leaders rarely are produced in genuine integrity. True leadership must do not be about me (the leader), but alternatively about the collective you should do (his organization or group)..

Don't you love coming home from church on a Sunday afternoon and just marveling at God? It's an amazing feeling that nothing else really compares to. I love learning something new about my Best Friend and I seem to be doing this a lot, as I'm going to a church that really seems to dig deep into the character of God, and also as I'm growing in Christ and continuing to pursue a real relationship with Him. This week during a youth service we went over a well known few verses in the Bible: when Jesus calmed the storm and asked the disciples where their faith was. (Luke 8:22-25) It's one of those Bible stories that you read or get read as a little kid over and over again. To the point where you think you know it so well and you don't really explore it. But this time it was different for me.
I found myself in complete awe of Jesus! I imagined myself there with Him. I imagined Jesus standing up in the boat that was tossed by the terrifying waves and jerked by the savage wind, surrounded by men who really thought they were going to die, and rebuking the storm in a powerful voice. And then it stopping! Can you imagine being one of the disciples, and seeing that amazing power at work? Jesus' followers had already seen Him raise the dead and heal many people, but this is the miracle that made them ask, "Who can this be?" I think the disciples knew that only God has authority like that, and this raw power really hit them like lightning. (Get it? Lightning? Okay, I'm done.) And all He says is "Where is your faith?" Wow.
It makes me think about all the times when I begin to freak out about one thing or another without even thinking about praying. I'm sure Jesus would not have questioned them if they had been praying with true faith that God would save them if it was His will. But their minds were probably only filled with fear. This is a good reminder of how powerful our God really is, and how foolish it is to allow fear to overcome before remembering Who controls everything in our lives.
I want to encourage you guys to always look at the Bible with fresh eyes and a fresh heart. Always look for something new. Don't allow your mind to be numb toward Scripture. You may be missing things without even realizing it! I'm going to try to be more intentional about this too, and I'm really looking forward to what I'll learn!
Are you also trying to be more adventurous and intentional about your Bible reading? I'd love to hear about! Leave a comment below.

Hey Y'all! Welcome back. I'm still here. I've been in the midst of wedding planning and Mother's Day and life in general lately. Which brings me to the weekend re-cap. Last week was particularly hard on my fiance and his family because a long time friend of theirs passed away. It was a neighbor of theirs for years, one of my fiance's best friend's Dad. Honestly now I don't remember what last week entailed other than some Mother's Day shopping.
Friday our buddy had plans to spend the night with his Mimi & Pa because Saturday morning my Fiance and I had his friend's dad's funeral to go to. Our buddy & I went to my parent's house after school where my Mom & I worked on some crafts while Alex took Dylan Mother's Day shopping for me. When they got home we hung around for a while longer then we headed home somewhere around 9. We were hungry then and I wanted a burger so we decided to stop by Sonic's and grab dinner. For some reason those tater tots and that burger were the most delicious thing ever. I think, since we've started eating healthier, when I do get something like that it is a real treat. After that we went home, got funeral clothes ready & crashed.
Saturday We got up and got to the funeral early, which was definitely bittersweet but the bright side is that I finally got to meet my fiance's other best friend and his wife. I've been hearing about Matt & Becca for so long so it was nice to finally be able to meet them. They are seriously some of the sweetest people ever. These two guys have literally grown up together. They met when they were one and two and they act so much like brothers despite not really seeing each other much in the last few years. That's proof that best friends are hard to find and even harder to forget. Us girls hit it off like we've been besties our whole lives, too so I think we'll be seeing more of each other in the near future. Us girls have already made it our mission to make sure these guys (and us) get together more often.
The funeral was sad, as they usually are, and Matt gave an amazing eulogy. One part he was speaking about the kind of man his Dad was and how he taught him to look beyond race and it gave me chills because he was specifically talking about his friendship with my fiance. He's Puerto Rican, Matt's white, i'm white but it never dawned on me that we are different races. Obviously I know he's Puerto Rican, I didn't just think he gets really tan in the summer and stays tan all year & speaks fluent Spanish for nothing. It dawned on me then that everything Matt was saying about the way his Dad raised him was true for me, too. I don't see us as anything but a family & I couldn't imagine not being together based solely on the fact that we're not both white, much less not even being friends because of it. Sadly though, that's still very much a reality in the world we live in but I took great pride in what Matt was saying, knowing it was also applying to me and my life and the way I'm raising my son now and our future children.
After the funeral was over we went back to my parent's house to check on our buddy. He was content to stay where he was and swim so we went to Matt's Mom's house to visit with the family. It was such a nice time, under not so nice circumstances. His family is a lot like mine, big and welcoming, so I felt completely comfortable with them & of course, since they are my fiance's second family, he was at home.
Me & my love, Matt & Becca, and Matt's Mom.
We stayed with them for quiet a while then left and came home, changed clothes and headed out the door for grocery shopping & the rest of Mother's Day shopping (which I actually protested a bit. I didn't want to shop! but I knew if we didn't do it then we'd be stuck doing it on Mother's Day & ummm, no!) It was probably my quickest trip ever to the mall. We ran into two stores that we needed and we were done! We went back to my parent's and kicked off our shoes and relaxed by the pool for the rest of the evening. My Dad had us some steaks, mac & cheese & beans ready for dinner. I'm not even sure what happened Saturday night. It may have involved a nap on the couch though. It probably did.
Sunday Mother's Day!! Started glorious. My honey came and woke me up at 9. I probably would've slept until noon if I could've but we had other things to do, like celebrate the women who gave birth to us, too. I guess that the guys couldn't wait to give me my gifts. One was something Dylan picked out for me all on his own. Anyway, after Alex woke me up he brought me coffee in bed. Once I made my way downstairs they gave me my first gift; a set of Georgia Peach lotion, spray, & body wash from B&BW that I had been wanting along with a Georgia Peach candle. Then they told me they had one more present but I had to go outside for it. This is the one Dylan picked out on his own. It was a 15 ft Cherry Blossom tree. I love Cherry Blossoms, they're one of my favorite flowers, definitely one of my favorite trees. I am really proud of my dude for picking this out on his own. It means a lot to me and I've already told Alex that when we move in a couple years, the tree comes with us. Dylan had another brilliant idea, propagate it if it's too big. That kid is a genius, I tell ya.
After all that we got dressed and went to see my soon to be Mother in Law. I'm kinda partial to this woman since she gave birth to and raised the man of my dreams. She doesn't speak much English but has a heart of gold and is such a sunshine to everyone around her. She's like me in that she likes to laugh, a lot. I love that about her. We had a great time with them for a while but left after an hour or so because we had a cook out with my mom and the rest of the family.
We left there and went to see my side of the family. We cooked out with my Mom, Grandma, Brother, Sister-in-Law, Uncle & Cousin. My Dad and Aunt Melody were working so we missed them but we had a great time. All us ladies got showered with lots of love and gifts. I got a sea shell wind chime, an owl wind chime, a vineralla (an umbrella in a bottle), a new Ginger Snap, & an adorable owl bag. The best part of it all was spending time with all my loves. It's great to be with everyone and know how loved you truly are.
I got the bright idea to take some family pics. I tried not to make my honey or our kid pose for too many because engagement pics are this weekend. Here are the results of that!
Because we can't act right. LOL.
I hope you all had an amazing weekend and that your week is going amazing, as well.

Underworld 3 trailer online
The trailer for Underworld: Rise of the Lycans is online. This is the third in the series of Underworld films, but is an origin film. The trailer was online previously, but was illegal and therefore difficult to watch.
Michael Sheen and Bill Nighy are back, and Rhona Mitra takes over from Kate Beckinsale. Head inside for a look at the trailer.
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, tells of the beginning of the feud between the Lycans (Werewolves) and the Vampires. The Lycans find themselves enslaved to the Vampires, but one of them begins to fight back.
I've managed to miss the first two, they are still languishing in my rental queue. But it looks like if I wait a bit longer I can watch them all in order. The trailer below, from Rope of Silicon, looks great. Take a look and see what you think.

Good Teaching & Learning Make the Year Fly By
Superintendent Reedy's weekly message.
Alamosa ES is the recipient of this year's Guhl Literacy Award.
We are already a fourth of the way through the school year. Can you believe it?
I think the reason this year is going by so quickly is all of the great work occurring in our classrooms, on our campuses, in our offices.
Students aren't bored. They are engaged. Teaching isn't rote and repetitive. It's visionary. Support staff – everyone from secretaries to maintenance workers to central office administrators – are going above and beyond to make sure educators have what they need to help students succeed.
And it's paying off. Students are learning and achieving, and having fun along the way. Don't take my word for it. Walk through the halls and peek in the classrooms of any one of our 143 schools and you will be impressed with the activity, the excitement, the commitment you see.
Education has come a long way since I first entered the profession more than four decades ago. We now have a better understanding of how students learn. We appreciate diversity and different learning styles. We celebrate individuality and varying experiences and points of view. We have incredible tools to support our goals from Chromebooks to Promethean boards to high-tech calculators and apps.
We also have a lot of support, from our families, local businesses, non-profits, other agencies and, of course, our own Education Foundation.
While in the midst of our annual United Way campaign, I have to give a shout out to the Foundation, which does so much for the students and staff of Albuquerque Public Schools.
The APS Education Foundation, a non-profit organization established to promote support of the district and its students, has placed more than $2.5 million into classrooms and schools across the district. It provided more than half a million dollars in grants just last school year!
Those grants help students learn and teachers teach. Over the years, they have helped pay for new musical instruments, art supplies, improved technology, after-school activities, competitions, STEM (and STEAM and STEALTH) labs, reading programs, science and engineering projects, bilingual programs. The list goes on and on. The grants range from $1,000 to up to $35,000 and go to individual teachers, teams, programs and entire schools.
Just a couple of weeks ago, the Foundation announced the recipients of two of its larger grants – the Guhl Literacy Award and the Success Award.
The Guhl Literacy Award, which fosters innovation to advance student literacy, went to Alamosa Elementary School in support of its Spreading the Seed of Love for Reading project. The $35,000 grant will allow the school to purchase new books for all grade levels in both English and Spanish and to create reading corners and nooks with furniture that invite students and parents to stay and read.
Grant Middle School received a $15,000 Success Award for its What I Need (WIN) Groups project to support students who are functioning below grade level in English language arts and math based on test scores.
The Career Enrichment Center also received a $15,000 Success Award to implement their Virtual Reality Learning Lab project, a lab space where students can explore real world issues and created experiences to further their understanding in science and social studies. This lab will be available to students districtwide.
Congratulations to the latest recipients of Foundation awards. There will be many more to come this school year.
All of these grant recipients, and the Foundation as a whole, are emblematic of the wonderful things that are happening in our schools. The kind of great teaching, learning and support that makes a school year fly by.

18k rose gold
THOMAS SABO works exclusively with 18k rose gold. Thanks to its high level of quality, the fine colour of the gold shines through in an extremely radiant way.
Real diamonds
Diamonds capture the light and reflect every ray with an incomparable sparkle. This is made possible by the characteristic brilliant cut. Shaped within the Earth by the greatest pressure and heat more than three billion years ago, the diamond (from the Greek: "the indomitable") became the hardest of all stones.

It will be connected to a computer that will be running the necessary software to display our wanted information. The kicker is that the computer will be around 100′ from the TV at both locations. We are considering running VGA cables but is there a better way that won't break the budget?? What resolution issues should I expect??

My wife's cell-phone SIM card ran low on storage space, She then decided to go through her contact list and deleted some contacts. That set me thinking. At this stage of my life, do I still need to keep all my acquaintances in my contact lists, namely phone contacts and e-mail contacts?
I went through the exercises of cleaning up my contact databases only sporadically in the past. I remember I had difficulties deleting contacts. There was this feeling that the person might be of use to me in the future and therefore kept and some are kept merely for historical record purposes.
I met with people during school days, at work and during industry networking time. Some contacts came about when carrying out transactions, such as banking, insurance activities, etc. I was trained to exchange name cards during networking opportunities and some acquaintances got into my contact lists.
Back to the question: Do I still need to keep some of these people in my contact list? I see no need and it will not impact my life as a result of deleting these contacts. It is not going to make a difference. Some contacts were mere acquaintances and will stay as that. My circle of friends will dwindle as I get older and not many will stay in contact with me, except through Facebook. This is to be expected as these people have their lives to lead.
So from now on, I will start to delete some contacts from my lists. By deleting, I will not live in the past. I will live in the present and connect with those in the moment.
I recall a quote: "When is the most important time? Now. Who is the most important person? The one in front of you. What is the most important thing to do? To care."

Recently read an article about a man watching a television program about government policies and positions of elected officials. He reported how he had been pulled in with anger and became angrier and angrier until he realized what he had been doing. We can always choose Love over anger.
I John 4:8 reads, "The one who does not know Love does not know God, for God is Love." I notice this does not say "from time to time" or "sometime". This is not just good advice but it is Truth. It is up to us on taking in "negativity"!

Pingu and the Postcard is the twenty-third episode of Season 3.
A postcard from Hawaii is delivered to Pingu's igloo. The picture shows a beach fringed with palms where a dancer is wearing a garland made of flowers and dancing to the music that a drummer is playing. Pinga wants a garland of pretty flowers too but Pingu is not sure if he can do anything about it, until Pinga points out the pot of flowers which Mum bought recently. Pingu picks the heads off all the flowers and fashions them into a garland for Pinga. He then picks off all the leaves and uses them to resemble the palm trees on the Hawaiian beach. Finally he empties out the soil and stems from the pot, turns the pot upside down and places a sauce pan on top of it. Beating the pan with a wooden spoon, Pingu starts making music with his make-shift drum which Pinga starts dancing to and the two of them reanact the Hawaiian beach scene.
When Mum arrives home, she listens to her young penguins having fun and smiles as she opens the door. Once inside, Mum is happy about the game they are playing first enjoys what she finds them doing, but when she sees what has happened to her flowers, she screams and falls in a faint on the floor. Pingu and Pinga rush over to her and Pinga tries to tap her awake, but Mum does not come round. They are just wondering what to do when Dad comes back from work. They help Mum into the armchair and Dad decides it is best leave her there until she comes to. Pinga shows Dad their postcard and as he sees the picture, he realises why Mum fainted. He drives quickly round to the florists to replace the flowers which Pingu destroyed.
Back home, the new flowers are placed in front of Mum and when finally she comes out of her faint, she is delighted to see them and everyone else is very happy that she is awake. Mum and Dad are very pleased to see the postcard from Hawaii and the two of them both enjoy a repeat performance of Pingu and Pinga reanacting the Hawaiian beach party.
- Pingu's Igloo
- The Florist Shop
- After Mum faints, another spit second shot of her lying on the floor can be seen before we Pingu and Pinga staring at her.
- Even though the florist is male, he has a female face.

Education and career
Jackson was born and raised in India, which probably established his interest in all aspects of Asia, which is where much of his current research has been concentrated[2]
Jackson attended the University of Cambridge graduating with a 1st Class degree in Geology in 1976 Then, under the tutelage of Dan McKenzie at the Bullard Laboratories, Cambridge, he received his PhD in 1980 His research used earthquakes to study the processes that produce the major surface features of the continents, such as mountain belts and basins[2]
Between 1977 and 1981 he was a Visiting Scientist in the Seismic Discrimination Group at MIT before returning to Cambridge to take up a Research Fellow position in Queens' College, Cambridge, where he became Assistant Dean in 1983 In 1984, he was appointed as an Assistant Lecturer in the Department of Earth Sciences, Cambridge, Lecturer in 1988 and Reader in 1996 He was made Professor of Active Tectonics in the Department of Earth Sciences in 2003[3]
Current Research
Using evidence from earthquakes, remote sensing, geodesy and geomorphology he is able to observe, quantitatively, the geometry and rates of deformation processes while they are active[1] In addition to seismology, his current research uses space-based remote sensing including radar interferometry, GPS measurements and optical imagery combined with observations of the landscape in the field, to study the evolution and deformation of the continents on all scales, from the movement of individual faults in earthquakes to the evolution of mountain belts[2]
Much of his work is carried out in collaboration with researchers from the COMET Project[4] where he is Associate Director

I have been confronted with a perplexing puzzle. On the one hand, I am an avid user of social media. I use it professionally to promote what I think are important policy goals and I use it personally to stay in touch with family and an large network of friends I have gathered since I was a young boy. On the other hand, I am hosting an advanced screening in Washington, DC later this month of Men, Women and Children to discuss the "deadening, dehumanizing impact of social media on our lives, and our sex lives in particular."
Clearly, my personal experience with social media is not deadening or dehumanizing (though I should probably survey my friends to see what they think). In fact, I often wax on the ways social media increases the social capital "the people" can leverage against the financial capital of more privileged political interests. And I spend a lot of time developing strategies and tactics to help that along. I live my life to use social media to create more meaning in life.
But there is this conversation going on out there about how bad social media is; how it disengages us from reality and lets us mediate our own relationships; how we should live our lives in fear of social media. (I often wonder if by emailing myself to remind me to do things, I am creating an impersonal relationship with myself.) Is social media making us isolated and depressed? Or does social media give us a way to conquer the isolation and depression that comes from life in the 21st century? Or better still, as I tend to think, some people are depressed and others filled with life; and those dispositions manifest themselves both offline and online.
The research is all over the place. For all the talk that social media deadens and dehumanizes us, research also shows that people who use social media have more friends, are able to create meaningful relationships online and are able to maintain relationships with friend and family they don't see often. There is no universal social media experience.
Certainly, when it come to political and social movements (think Arab Spring), social media brings people together in meaningful and impactful ways, despite great geographical, security and political obstacles. In fact, social media allowed people who had previously felt politically isolated and depressed to find solidarity across virtual boundaries, which led to real, on the ground change. How can something with such power be deadening and dehumanizing.
And don't let Malcolm Gladwell confuse you with his talk of weak ties and strong ties. If you are keeping a friendship alive over thousands of miles with a childhood chum via social media or making a long distance romance work (think soldiers sent abroad leaving their loved ones at home), it is hard to accept Gladwell's claim that social media relationships aren't strong enough to change the world. It changes your world and you know that is true.
Just as there were people learning about the vast world via television as well as those getting lost in in its vast wasteland, there are people using social media to be better friends; better brothers, sisters, parents, sons and daughters. There are people using social media to raise money for diseases and to force national conversations on race and the abuse of police authority. There are people using social media to create good.
The truth is that social media simply isn't one thing. It is a web of connections that tie people together in many ways, complementing offline connections.
But just as some people can get lost in an offline addiction or never learn how to interact with people, the same is true on social media. Getting a positive experience from social media requires a set of literacy skills that has to be taught, learned and practiced. Web literacy, media and information literacy, and social literacy are all essential and overlapping skillsets we need to survive and thrive in this century if we are to avoid the deadening and dehumanization we might fear.
